'Fascism 101': Mehdi Breaks Down Trump's Plan to Crush Dissent

In the latest episode of ‘Mehdi Unfiltered,’ Mehdi breaks down one of Donald Trump’s most fascistic plans: using the U.S. military to crush dissent. He discusses Trump’s plan to invoke the Insurrection Act to crack down on protesters with former Obama Defense Department adviser Rosa Brooks and Yale University fascism expert Jason Stanley.

Also in the episode, Mehdi speaks with Khalil Sayegh, a member of Gaza’s Palestinian Christian community. Sayegh tells Mehdi how Israel has repressed and attacked his community, both before and especially since Oct. 7, and how U.S. evangelical elites have ignored the Christians of Gaza.

Mehdi also talks with legendary Gold Star father Khizr Khan about Trump’s recent violation of federal law at Arlington Cemetery.
