Culture of Change Ep. 118: Codex 9/11, Flag Burning, and the Cultural Aftermath

Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes deliver a powerful episode centered on Brad Zerbo’s groundbreaking documentary Codex 9/11 and the cultural shifts born from that tragic day. They begin with President Trump’s new executive order on flag burning, debating its First Amendment implications and the exposure it creates of hidden anti-American sentiment. The hosts then dive into personal stories of where they were on 9/11, how trauma shaped national attitudes, and the ways media manipulation fostered fear, division, and compliance. From TSA security theater to the Patriot Act, they highlight how the event rewired American culture and prepared the ground for later crises like COVID. The conversation blends personal reflection, cultural critique, and raw analysis, urging listeners to watch Codex 9/11, share it widely, and question the narratives that have defined two decades of war and government overreach.
