Trump’s Admin – Domestic Policy – Part 2 Date recorded: June 17, 2025
This is the quick-listen or "producers cut" version of today's episode - perfect if you're short on time and just want the bottom line!
Description:
In this episode, Peter and Terra focus on exploring who the men are behind the departments of Interior, Energy, Transportation, and the Environmental Protection Agency. They’re all intertwined. How, you ask? Lots of government deregulation, promotion of carbon capture pipelines and thrusting AI into every nook and cranny of their departments. This is all being done in the name of the ‘Golden Era of American Energy’ – the complete surveillance and control grid. Conflicts of interest abound, which seems to be the status quo for the Trump administration. Listen in to learn some surprising twists!
