Episode #25: Executive Overreach - Unpacking Tyranny in Executive Orders

In this week's episode of Propaganda Loves You, hosts Kodie, Arthur, and Joe discuss the resurgence of civil commitment, focusing on its implications and the recent controversies surrounding Trump and Epstein. They explore how the Trump administration's shifting narratives aim to distract the public, with the latest being accusations against former President Obama. The conversation broadens to a critique of the insurance industry and the exploitation inherent within it. The main discussion centers on a newly issued executive order aimed at addressing homelessness through civil commitment, invoking concerns about potential abuses of power, the morality of homelessness policies, and the ulterior motives behind seemingly benevolent actions. The episode closes by dissecting the executive order's language, potential impacts, and the broader implications on society.
