From WNYC Studios, I'm Brian Lehrer.

This is my daily politics podcast.

It's Tuesday, June 10th.

CNN's Jake Tapper is with us.

You probably heard some of the national conversation since his book came out last month

about President Joe Biden's state of health and state of mind before the troubling debate

performance in June of last year that wound up driving him from his re-election campaign.

We'll talk about how the response to the book in these weeks might be affecting Democratic Party

politics now. We'll also talk about

news of today, including the L.A. immigration raids and protests and Trump deployment of the National

Guard and the U.S. Marines and the response by Eric Adams, mayor of New York, of course, in

anticipating how he would handle a situation like that here. Jake Tapper is CNN's lead DC anchor and

Chief Washington correspondent and host of the lead on CNN from 5 to 7 p.m. weekdays. The book is

called Original Sin, co-authored with Alex Thompson from Axios. Jake, thanks for joining us. Welcome

back to WNYC.

Thanks, Brian. Great to be back. Can we start with some news of the day? Here's a clip.

Here's a clip, your colleague, Danabash, used on CNN and her show yesterday, of Donald Trump

on the campaign trail last year, seeming to announce in advance the kind of thing he did this

week with little historical precedents,

call out a state's National Guard without the approval, even over the objection of the state's governor.

You look at these great cities, Los Angeles, San Francisco, you look at what's happening to our country.

We cannot let it happen any longer. And one of the other things I'll do, because, you know, you's happening to our country, we cannot let it happen any longer.
