Steve Bannon on LA raids, Elon Musk and tax cuts for billionaires
As tensions in LA spills out, President Trump is sending the armed forces onto the streets of the city. It's against the wishes of California's governor, who has warned that "democracy is under assault". Jon an Emily are joined by the architect of Trump's 2016 victory and host of host of the War Rooms, Steve Bannon.
Is Trump enacting the mass deportation he promised? Or is he manufacturing a crisis that will allow him to access more emergency - executive power?
Later, should Elon Musk be deported? Should Trump be giving tax cuts to billionaires? And which British politicians is he watching most closely?
