Hedges Report: Trump’s Crackdown on Anti-War Activists.

CODEPINK’S Medea Benjamin joins host Chris Hedges to discuss the current moment in American politics, which sees free speech sitting on a knife’s edge.


Medea Benjamin and CODEPINK, the organization she cofounded, are synonymous with accosting power in the United States.

Their fearless confrontations with the nation’s most prominent and powerful politicians in the halls of Congress, often seen through viral videos, are a stark embodiment of the First Amendment.

Despite over 20 years of activism and consistent critique of America’s representatives over their subservience to the military industrial complex and other big money interests, their ability to have these conversations is beginning to dwindle.

Benjamin joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to discuss the current moment in American politics, which sees free speech sitting on a knife’s edge following the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the American political class’s continued support of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Benjamin was recently arrested after questioning Rep. Darrell Issa about Israel’s recent airstrike targeting Hamas negotiators in Qatar. Despite police saying she did nothing wrong, Issa continued with lodging a complaint against her, a move she believes is also in line with the suppression of activists and free speech.

Furthermore, after CODEPINK activists confronted Donald Trump and his cabinet at a restaurant and chanted at the president, “Free D.C., free Palestine, Trump is the Hitler of our time,” Trump told reporters that he is looking into having U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi bring RICO charges against the protestors “because they should be put in jail.”
