📝 EPISODE DESCRIPTION

Kara and Scott discuss the protests in Los Angeles, and dig into Trump's escalating authoritarian tactics. Then, they debate how the Democratic Party should fight back. Plus, Trump threatens Elon Musk with “serious consequences” if he backs Democrats, but is Elon’s behavior on X a sign he’s crawling back? And, Warner Bros. Discovery confirms it’s splitting into two companies, just as Kara and Scott predicted. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 0:39 L.A.
