Authoritarian Tactics, Propaganda, and Historical Comparisons

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, the brothers break down another chaotic week for Donald Trump and his GOP enablers. Republicans are threatening mass suffering for millions of Americans by refusing to negotiate an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies—while Trump himself is refusing to use the SNAP contingency fund to prevent hunger. We recap Trump’s disastrous trip to Asia, where he was humiliated and outmaneuvered by President Xi and other world leaders, and examine new authoritarian threats from Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who vowed to send agents to invade Chicago during Halloween. Plus, more illegal military strikes on civilian boats—and a look at the groundbreaking new Meidas Studios documentary The Last Republican, chronicling former Congressman Adam Kinzinger’s fight for democracy. Ben, Brett, and Jordy break it down.
