LA Protests: Trump weaponises his immigration agenda
Tue, 10 Jun 2025
Is President Trump trying to start a political civil war over immigration? That's what Christiane and Jamie discuss on this week's episode in light of Trump deploying the National Guard and Marines to California to deal with protesters.They also look at the President's fallout with former First Buddy Elon Musk and ask: who stands to lose the most from this breakdown in their relationship? Plus Christiane and Jamie explain why it won't be long before China becomes the world's biggest superpower if Trump continues with his America First approach to trade, tariffs, and diplomacy. The pair also reveal what they learned from their visits to China - Christiane in the 1970s just after Mao's death, and Jamie with a government delegation led by First Lady Hilary Clinton in the 1990s, when they quickly realised they were being spied on in their hotel rooms.
