The Shock and Awe of Politics

In this episode of ‘Unshocked,’ Naomi and Mehdi discuss the first ten days of President Donald J. Trump’s second term and his intentional use of “shock and awe” tactics, with his administration issuing a seemingly endless series of draconian and contentious executive orders, including ending DEI in the government, freezing federal money and grants, and ordering ICE to raid migrant communities. Mehdi and Naomi also discuss why Trump and the tech oligarchs that surround him are not worried about “burning down” social programs, healthcare, the environment, or US institutions.
