• Trump Is Building His Own Paramilitary Force | The Ezra Klein Show

  the neoconservative writer uh Michael Ledeen uh who I think it was in 2007208 um was one of the kind of neoconservatives who were agitating for war with Iran and there were a series of photos that came out of Tran of a drug raid in Tran cocaine raid and all the officers in the in the raid were wearing masks Uh and Leidden wrote it at Leedin wrote at the time that you know this you know when when the agents of the government hide their faces it speaks volumes about the relationship between the government and the people right and he was saying this that this is a sign of a totalitarian state um and now it's just routine I mean we're seeing this all over the country so you know I think we're in a um a pretty terrifying spiral right now um and uh I I've tried to over the course of my career be sort levelheaded and refrain from from expressing things in too dire of terms.
