#126 - Why MAGA is Obsessed With Dr. Fauci Jul 30, 2026 104 Trump is obsessed with Dr. Fauci because a million Americans died and the people responsible need someone else to blame.

#119 - Thought Stopping
#119 - Thought Stopping Jul 21, 2026 86 In this episode, we break down how Trump pre-loaded four phrases into his followers: fake news, witch hunt, deep state, and TDS. How repetition programs an automatic response. Why facts never land. And why the follower has no idea it is happening to them. Stupid people are easy to program. That's the whole business model. In 1961, psychiatrist Robert Lifton studied survivors of Chinese Communist b
