Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we dig into recent protests across the country and how the government is responding with an unprecedented show of force — from thousands of National Guard troops to Marines in the streets. We talk about what it means when peaceful protests meet heavy-handed crackdowns, including the shocking moment a U.S. senator was detained while asking questions. With a military parade planned on the president’s birthday and threats against governors who oppose him, we explore whether these actions mark a shift toward authoritarianism in America.
