Today on a special segment of Bring It On! hosts Clarence Boone and William Hosea welcome special guests Major General Craig Q. Timberlake (USMC, Retired) and  Joseph Hoffman, Harry Pratter Professor of Law at the Maurer School of Law at Indiana University Bloomington, to discuss primarily the unprecedented use of federal force taken by Donald Trump in recent weeks in Portland, OR and other cities.

In this special segment of Bring It On! General Major Timberlake and Professor Hoffman examine these recent events using their expertise and experience in military and legal affairs. They discuss Trump’s use of unidentified federal officers to detain protestors in Portland, OR, his increasingly unorthodox, sometimes disruptive and, arguably, increasingly combative relationship with the U.S. military, and his rogue approach to presidential precedences and traditions.
