Topics
Livia Albeck-Ripka: 作为一名记者，我亲眼目睹了洛杉矶抗议活动的混乱场面。从最初的和平集会到后来的催泪瓦斯和高速公路封锁，我看到了人们对政府政策的不满和反抗。许多抗议者告诉我，他们因为无法再忍受现状而走上街头，希望自己的声音被听到。 Kara Swisher: 我认为特朗普政府正在故意制造混乱，挑起争端，煽动人们做出更糟糕的行为。这种行为不仅不负责任，而且是对民主的威胁。我认为那些制造虚假战争的人最终会受到法律的制裁，因为他们正在破坏这个国家的根基。 Scott Galloway: 我一直以来都将现在的美国与30年代的德国进行比较，虽然这可能被认为是危言耸听，但特朗普政府确实在借用纳粹的手段和恶劣行径。军队出现在城市里，针对记者、移民和抗议者，这让人感到社会崩溃，对政府失去信心。我认为特朗普政府正在扮演威权主义，这可能会导致美国分裂。我们必须警惕这种趋势，并采取行动来捍卫民主。

Shownotes Transcript

Kara and Scott discuss the protests in Los Angeles, dig into Trump's escalating authoritarian tactics, and debate how the Democratic Party should fight back. They also get some on-the-ground perspective from New York Times reporter Livia Albeck-Ripka, who's been covering the protests. Then, Trump threatens Elon Musk with “serious consequences” if he funds Democrats, but is Elon’s behavior on X a sign he’s crawling back? Plus, Warner Bros. Discovery confirms it’s splitting into two companies, just as Kara and Scott predicted.
