“It is about numbing us. It is about making the public not be able to keep up, journalists not be able to keep up.” In the first weeks of his second term, President Donald Trump has intentionally used “shock and awe” tactics.
Naomi Klein joins Mehdi Hasan on ‘Unshocked’ to unpack Trump’s seemingly endless series of draconian executive orders, including ending DEI in the government, freezing federal money and grants, and ordering ICE to raid migrant communities – including in church! “They’re sending that fear through every institution. And, of course, with the shocking immigration raids, it is a very tangible fear,” Naomi says to Mehdi.
“It’s designed to make you curl up in a ball and give up.” Watch the full conversation to hear about why Trump and the billionaire tech oligarchs are not worried about “burning down” US institutions, the use of ‘shock and awe’ during the Iraq War, and Democrats’ failure to be a trusted messenger. You can also listen to ‘Unshocked’ wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Spotify ‘Unshocked’ is a monthly conversation with acclaimed author and activist Naomi Klein, where she and Mehdi pull viewers ‘out of shock’ through analysis, facts, and history.
