 9 snips 
 Oct 9, 2025  The discussion dives into Trump's NSPM-7, which could redefine free speech and target dissenting nonprofits as potential threats. The hosts explore the chilling implications of labeling common beliefs as indicators of terrorism. They also highlight the backlash from over 3,000 nonprofits and the historical parallels to past repressive tactics like COINTELPRO. A fascinating analysis connects this directorial move to pre-crime concepts, much like in 'Minority Report', raising questions about the policing of thoughts versus actions in an increasingly authoritarian climate.
