Date recorded:     Feb 20, 2025

Description:

Join Terra and Peter in the final episode of Trump’s Executive Orders where they’ll walk you through what’s going on with the World Health Organization ‘withdrawal’, what the renewed membership in the Geneva Consensus Declaration means and the White House’s Israel influence (hint: it runs deep).

Show notes:

Update on World Health Organization withdrawal:

Five days after signing the EO to leave the WHO, Trump stated to reporters:

“I withdrew from the World Health Organization…. But maybe we would consider doing it again. I don’t know. Maybe we would. They have to clean it up a little bit.”
