Was This Trump’s Most EXTREME Move Yet?!

Donald Trump has deployed the National Guard to the streets of Los Angeles — without the permission of California Governor Gavin Newsom. The move has sparked legal threats from the state, a political firestorm across the U.S., and fresh questions about the President’s use of power. Why did Trump bypass the usual protocol? Is this a genuine attempt to restore law and order amid immigration protests — or a personal feud with Newsom turned national? And is this all just a dress rehearsal for something more dangerous: using emergency powers to assert federal control over local states? Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel dig into the story that’s got America watching nervously — and explore what this power play could mean ahead of the 2026 midterms. Later, award-winning poet and comedian Tim Key joins us to talk about his breakout film The Ballad of Wallis Island, plus Lewis Goodall brings the latest on the Chancellor’s quiet U-turn over the winter fuel payment. #trump #la #losangeles #usa #ukpolitics #gavinnewsom #newsom #senator #senate #governer #congress #jdvance #elonmusk #timkey #riots #protest #immigration #immigrationlaw #immigrants #mexico #whitehouse #Podcast #UKPodcast #PoliticsPodcast #News #Politics #NewsAgents #EmilyMaitlis #JonSopel #LewisGoodall Download The News Agents with Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall from 5PM every weekday on Global Player: https://www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/42KuVj/ Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/@thenewsagents The News Agents is a Global Player Original podcast. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with us on the Socials!
