    Is Flag Burning Still Legal Under Trump's New Executive Order?
    Aug 27 2025

    Is flag burning protected speech or can it be criminalized under a new executive order? This week we cover the legal and political implications of Trump's Prosecuting Burning of the American Flag executive order targeting flag desecration. With deep dives into First Amendment jurisprudence, political strategy, and societal polarization, this episode explores whether the order is constitutional or just cleverly written propaganda.

    The legality and history of flag burning in America

    A detailed breakdown of the new executive order

    First Amendment protections and the “fighting words” doctrine

    The political strategy behind framing free speech as unpatriotic

    Chilling effects on protest and dissent

    Broader threats to democracy and authoritarian overreach
