Call or log in to get help making sense of these turbulent times or just for advice from a soothing voice. “Dr. Carole’s Couch” broadcasts each Tuesday at 1pm Pacific (4pm Eastern) on the VoiceAmerica begin_of_the_skype_highlighting end_of_the_skype_highlighting Channel.
Although the Middle East war is not over, it seems a little quieter these daysl. But, we cannot let it lull us into complacency. Iran has promised nuclear retaliation against Israel, and Hamas and Hezbollah are not throwing in the towel. Today's guest, Harley Lippman, has just returned from Israel and will tell us what it's really like at this point in time. As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces mounting pressure to secure the release of captives from Gaza, the urgency for a Gaza ceasefire is reaching a fever pitch. Citizens gather in Israel’s major cities, demanding that Netanyahu take decisive action and agree to a deal that would bring home the remaining hostages. But, is this the right thing to do? It's a pivotal moment in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, and Harley Lippman brings unparalleled expertise to this conversation. Having recently traveled to Israel, Harley met with Prime Minister Netanyahu, key officials, and families of hostages, providing him with invaluable firsthand insights. His deep involvement in peace negotiations and his intricate understanding of the geopolitical dynamics of the Middle East place him in a unique position to offer expert commentary on what could drive Netanyahu to agree to a deal with Hamas.
Both Democrats and Republicans are suffering from Election Stress Syndrome - and News Flash! - it won't be over on Election Day, no matter who wins! Dr. Carole describes what Election Stress Syndrome is, why it won't be over on Election Day, what will happen next and how you can cure it and prepare for the worst! Do you remember the 'Hanging Chad' fiasco of 2000 when it was George Bush against Al Gore? They were counting hanging chads for weeks. Dr. Carole will explain why the fallout from this election will be worse - like 'Hanging Chads on Steroids!' Still can't decide who to vote for? Ask Dr. Carole.
Before you vote, you must know the true story of how Kamala got started on her climb to Vice-President - and God-forbid - President. I've 'diagnosed' her with Imposter Syndrome because she knows that she has never been qualified for any of the jobs she's held - except McDonald's (Oh wait, they said she never worked there!)!Dr. Carole tried to warn you about both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in this episode from 2020 - and she was right! But, you didn't listen. You need to hear this again before even thinking of voting for her in 2024!Kamala Harris wasn't really a household name throughout most of America until she was nominated by the Democratic Party for Vice-President. Yet it is especially important for everyone to get to know who she is because Joe Biden, the Democratic Party's Presidential nominee is not fit enough-mentally or physically-to last four years. This means whoever is VP would likely shoulder much of the responsibilities and take over at some point during the term. So, who is Kamala Harris? Today's guest, Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt, PhD (aka Dr. Chaps), a former State Representative (R-CO) and author, takes us back to Kamala's earliest days in politics and how she traded sex for a political head start. Her first move was to have an extra-marital affair with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, who not only gave her two six-figure political appointments, but escorted her on his arm to hobnob at political events, introducing her to key figures who would later finance her political aspirations.
As we countdown to Election Day, there’s been a lot of talk about how illegals shouldn’t be allowed to vote, but is there enough protection to prevent them from doing so? The Obama-Biden-Kamala White House has encouraged more illegals to cross the border thanever before! This is not an oversight - it’s on purpose! Why? Because they hope that, afterthese border-crossers have been gifted with room and board, cell phones, credit cards, etc. etc. etc. - they will vote Democrat. Today’s guest, Wendi Strauch Mahoney, a journalist with True the Vote, and other publications/organizations, takes us behind the scenes to let us know what ground has been laid to try to ensure an honest Election 2024. She’ll also discuss other perils threatening our election - such as voting machines and governmental agencies who refuse to share information with states. True the Vote is a citizen-led effort to restore honor and integrity to our electoral system. It educates voters, researches the veracity of voter registries, trains and mobilizes volunteersto work in polling places, and advocates for comprehensive election code reform legislation.

In these days of cancel culture and divisions - from skin color to political party - you risk telling the truth about the world. But, today's guest, A.J. Rice, puts it all on the line with his new book, The White Privilege Album: Bringing Racial Harmony to Very Fine People... on Both Sides. Satirical and serious, he makes us take another look at our culture and at the people who are dividing us in order for them to get ahead. It's the perfect sequel to his first bestselling book, The Woking Dead. In The White Privilege Album, he takes these 'cultural Marxists' to task more harshly because the clock is ticking down and the time to save our country is almost gone. Fortunately, Rice presents us with the key to save America: If we stop fighting about our differences and start unifying on what we have in common, they will lose the power to divide us permanently.Get the book here:https://www.amazon.com/White-Privilege-Album-Bringing-Harmony/dp/B0D2BF9YR8/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.qee2rAZUOIL1MitxqZxI0KO3AaRHXYJxiNKvp0b_OAHGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.fsjN9XKtVgYB0LuolN6pD8aOblc3HcK9PDpYimARaKA&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+white+privilege+album&qid=1729026494&s=books&sr=1-1
As Israel waits for more of Iran's threatened attacks - this is important to replay:Israel’s challenge to survive, while surrounded by enemies, began long before October 7, 2023. But, on this day, the barbaric attack by Hamas terrorists, took it to another level. Not since the Holocaust has there been such an evil attack on Jews. Yet, since October 7, the mainstream media has been spewing lie after lie about the war, propaganda to make the whole world turn against Israel and join sides with the terrorists. It’s shocking that so many believe these lies and dangerous for everyone, because Israel is the canary in the coal mine - what happens to it is only a preview of what terrorists are on track to do to the rest of the world - including America. Today’s guests, Marc Belzberg and Naomi Nussbaum are speaking to you from war-torn Israel. Marc Belzberg is the Chairman of the Board of OneFamily and Naomi Nussbaum is the Executive Director, Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy of OneFamily, an organization based in Israel whose mission is: Overcoming Terror Together. OneFamily supports and empowers victims of terror and bereaved families, to help them achieve their emotional, social and financial independence, so they can reintegrate into society. They will tell you the raw truth, dispelling mainstream media lies - like lies that say what Israel is doing is ‘genocide’. They will also reveal the untold stories of the impact of the war on Israeli life and the Israeli people. And you will hear the guests' personal stories - what brought them to Israel and what keeps them there -even after Iran sends drones and missiles.
With Israel under attack from Iran, after its proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah, didn't finish the job, Israeli's have more terror to cope with than ever. So, Dr. Carole is replaying this episode, to let people, in Israel, in America and worldwide, who suffer for Israel, know where to get help. It is a thrill to bring you today's guests, the founders of Planetherapy, Tal Nir and Ilana O'Malley - two amazing women driven to find a way to heal the emotional pain of Israelis after the Hamas massacre of October 7. Their vision: Israelis receive support and hugs from around the world and caregivers get the opportunity to help in times of crisis and increase their influence on a global scale. (Dr. Carole is honored to be one of these caregivers.) They will tell you how their idea blossomed into an organization that gives people 'emotional hugs' and helps them cope during a time of unimaginable stress, loss and terror.

As the 2024 elections are looming, some candidates are trying to make hay by still claiming the January 6 event was an insurrection. I listened to Trump's speech that morning. He only asked his audience to march to the Capitol to show their support for recounting the vote - not to trespass, damage property or injure anyone. In fact, the only person who was injured (killed) was Ashley Babbitt - and this was at the hand of law enforcement - not any trespassers. To some people, Derrick Evans is an enigma: how can someone be a part of the Jan. 6th riots, be convicted, apologize and then run for Congress? There's no question that he was there at the January 6th, 2021 Capitol riot - he live-streamed himself on Facebook Live shouting such things as, We're taking this country back whether you like it or not.... Patriots stand up! He was one of the more prominent defendants and he faced more serious charges because he was considered a leader, as he had been a West Virginia state legislator at the time. He pleaded guilty to a felony civil disorder charge and was sentenced to 90 days in jail. He is now out and more committed than ever to saving America. Will his role in the Jan. 6th riots help him get elected - or hurt him? What was the riot really like? It's not the narrative that the mainstream media has been feeding us. Now that we have seen some of the previously hidden video, we know it's not what they've been trying to sell us as the truth!

You can't believe the 'fake news', but you CAN believe what Captain Elkana (Kuno) Cohen says because he was and still is there in the IDF! He has written the bestselling book, Oct 7: The War Against Hamas Through The Eyes of an Israeli Commando Officer. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says of the book: The persona of the Israeli officer who strives for absolute victory is well reflected in Capt. Elkana Cohen's new book.On the morning of October 7, 2023, Israelis awoke to a harrowing reality. Not only were hundreds of rockets being launched from Gaza into Israeli population centers, but the security border between Gaza and Israel had also been breached by several thousand Hamas terrorists.Carnage, not seen since the Second World War, ensued. Elkana Cohen, Captain of an Elite Commando Unit was called, along with thousands of other reservists, to prepare for war. One that will have to ensure nothing less than Israel’s survival.In notebooks he found on the ground in the streets of Gaza, Cohen began writing a diary.Every day, he candidly documented the sights of the war. From an honest, precise and fluid first-person perspective, Cohen presents the feeling and story of the war from the eyes of the heroes who were there: the dust, the sweat, the brotherhood, the longing, and the awful smell of death and destruction. Cohen’s writing poignantly describes his relationships with his fellow comrades, the mass arrests of terrorists, the homes of Hamas members, the story of the fallen soldiers, and the desperate hope to bring the hundreds of Israeli hostages home.In notebooks he found on the ground in the streets of Gaza, Cohen began writing a diary.Every day, he candidly documented the sights of the war.

If you think it's an exaggeration to say that the 2024 elections will determine if America lives or dies - you are living under a rock or in serious denial. The Obama/Biden White House has done more to destroy our country and our freedom than any other presidency- and now Kamala threatens to make everything worse! From the Southern border invasion of illegal immigrants (terrorists, murderers, drug cartels, disease carriers, etc.) who are depleting our economy and health care resources, to politicization of the courts, to propaganda that pretends to be education, and on and on. Lucky for us, today's guest, Drew Thomas Allen, has written THE book to help us understand why and how we must vote in 2024, America's Last Stand: Will You Vote to Save or Destroy America in 2024. Allen has written a brutally honest account of the historic failures of the Biden administration and the most critical and urgent arguments for reclaiming American independence from our tyrannical captors in 2024…before it’s too late.America’s Last Stand chronicles the failures and lies of the Biden administration, unleashes a devastating account of the Democratic Party’s unforgivable history, and warns Americans of their plans to eradicate our freedoms and destroy American prosperity and security in the future. Allen also sets the record straight on the countless lies that have been spread about former President Trump.Indeed, America’s Last Stand is the definitive voting guide for the 2024 presidential election.
The Paris Olympics went off without a hitch... if you don't count being force-fed wokeness, contaminated Seine water that made swimmers sick, men pretending they are women and beating up real women, the terror attack they pretended wasn't one, and more. Today's guests will reveal more alarms that didn't make it into the news. They are the authors of a newly released book, PLAYED: The Games of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, which illustrates just how significant and historic the sporting world can be and they sound real world alarms. Co-authors Richard Kaufman and Glenn Allen take you behind the scenes with their message that history must not repeat itself... a poignant thought in this, the year of the 2024 Paris Olympics, where Russian and Belarusian athletes are banned from participating in team sports due to the war in Ukraine.

George Soros is a man with billions at his disposal and one of the most powerful networks in the world, whose motto is: If I spend enough, I can make it right. But what is right, according to Soros?Today's guest, Rachel Ehrenfeld, author of The Soros Agenda, perceptively predicted, Unchallenged, Soros would change the political landscape of the U.S. Join her on the journey as she exposes the Orwellian lingo, schemes, and strategies Soros has been using to transform America from a thriving, law-and-order democracy into a Sorostian world.George Soros's past as a survivor of World War II is an experience he applies as his primary credential to justify meddling in the political and social affairs of countries around the world. The self-proclaimed agnostic, Soros disputes Israel's right to exist as the Jewish State but exploits the religion he was born into as a tactic to shield him from criticism. For the past four decades, Soros has been using his multibillion-dollar, political-philanthropic global network to impose his Weltanschauung on the world.By 1993, Soros was heralded as The Man Who Broke the Bank of England. He used the praises and publicity to create a network of powerful foundations dedicated to his overriding ambition and objective to reshape the world's only constitutional democratic republic, the United States of America. By 2023 the nation's political and social landscape has changed beyond recognition. The financial speculator's enormous sums of money oiled the Democrat Party's machine that advanced his agenda that turned the American dream into a nightmare. How did he do that?

It's hard to believe, but ANYONE can vote in America now - you no longer have to be an American citizen! This is crazy stuff - and we must put a stop to it before November elections! No matter what party you belong to - both Democrats and Republicans - should be appalled! Today's guest, Catherine Engelbrecht, Founder of True the Vote, a Houston, TX based nonprofit organization devoted to preventing voter fraud, is sounding the alarm in order to get REAL American citizens to put an end to this NOW! Millions of migrants with humanitarian parole, refugee or asylum status are eligible for benefits that would bring them to the offices where voter registration takes place. Welfare offices and other agencies in 49 US states are providing voter registration forms to migrants without requiring proof of citizenship. Every state but Arizona — which recently passed a law barring the practice on state but not federal forms — gives applicants for either welfare benefits, driver’s licenses, or in some cases, mail-in ballots voter registration forms without demanding proof of citizenship.There is currently no requirement on federal voting forms to provide proof of US citizenship, though it is illegal to falsely claim one is a citizen or for a non-citizen to cast a ballot in a federal election.Engelbrecht says, “The Federal Govt has data on the 10m+ aliens they’ve processed through their CBP programs. Citizens must DEMAND that data be shared with the states so that they can verify citizenship on their voter rolls. Contact your representatives and speak out. See our call to action at truethevote.org 611 Project”
LONG ISLAND SERIAL KILLER REX HEUERMANN DIDN'T ACT ALONE! While law enforcement is digging up (literally) more evidence against Rex Heuermann, the serial killer who tortured and murdered untold numbers of women, they have been turning a blind eye to his family as potential accomplices. His wife, Asa Ellerup, and daughter, Victoria Heuermann. But, they should not be off the hook, according to today's guest, internationally known attorney John Ray, and he's got evidence to prove it! Heuermann's family has made a million dollar deal with Peacock to tell the story of what it was like living with husband and father, Rex Heuermann... but they're not going to tell the whole story because it would implicate them!
Since the Alec Baldwin Trial is about to begin, let's revisit this episode of Dr. Carole's Couch. Alec Baldwin deluded himself by pretending that he would never be tried because of his celebrity status, so he was shocked to discover that his trial is going forward. He wanted to blame it all on the armorer, who was already found guilty, but he's the one who pulled the trigger - despite pretending he didn't!Two recent headlines are stark reminders of why one should never play fast and loose with guns. On the movie set of the western Rust, actor Alec Baldwin picked up a prop gun, pulled the trigger and accidentally killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded the film's director, Joel Souza. Baldwin had been told the gun was cold, meaning it had no ammunition, but it was loaded with a live round. There had already been many problems on the set and there is enough blame to go around....Then, in the Kenosha, Wisconsin courtroom, where the jury in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse was hearing closing arguments, the prosecutor, Thomas Binger, picked up a real gun - the one Kyle allegedly used - and swung it around the courtroom. If it weren't for the judge insisting upon a detective double checking that the gun wasn't loaded, Binger's 'Alec Baldwin moment' could have ended in death and injury, as well. Today's guest, Steve Wolf, is an expert on guns, movie sets and courtrooms! He will narrow in on who's to blame on the set of Rust and will critique how the gun was handled in court - and what should have happened in both of these scenarios.
Dr. Carole will take you along on the journey of Biden's Brain. She was the FIRST to announce on national media - while Biden was running for President in 2020 - that he has Encroaching Dementia. She was able to recognize it because, as a forensic psychiatrist and expert witness, she has experience with cases where competency is an issue, such as when grown children are fighting over their parent's will and one wants to claim that their dad wasn't competent when he wrote them out of his will. In a published OpEd in 2022, Dr. Carole offered to give Biden a competency test - but he has yet to take her up on it. He still is refusing to take such a test, but Robert Hur, while investigating whether Biden mishandled classified documents, arrived at the conclusion that, although there was enough to charge Biden with this, the jury would see him as a sympathetic elderly man with memory problems. Not competent to stand trial makes him eligible for impeachment and the 25th amendment. Recently, we all watched Biden try to give the State of the Union speech. Overnight, he went from quiet and bumbling to loud, angry and amped up - which Dr. Carole has said was due to his being given an amphetamine like Adderall.On today's show, Dr. Carole will describe the symptoms he had at each state and what destruction he has done to America. She fears that the worst is yet to come. Dr. Carole has always acknowledged that she never personally met or examined Biden, but she has been following him closely via media appearances and stories since before he went into his basement.
The future of America depends on KEEPING IT REAL - with traditional values like individual freedom and patriotism. Today's guests are wholeheartedly devoting their life to promoting these principles and encouraging others to do the same. Charlie Kirk, is the Founder and President of Turning Point USA and author of the new book, Right Wing Revolution: How to Beat the Woke and Save the West. In it, he drags wokeism out of the shadows and details the exact steps needed to stop its toxic spread. Right Wing Revolution is not a cautionary tale. Wokeism has already seeped into every aspect of American society. Instead, Charlie Kirk looks to inform and prepare everyone for the coming confrontation against one of the most existential threats the United States has ever faced. Kirk has been fighting for American values since he was an Eagle Scout and in High School volunteering on a Senator's campaign. At age 30, he's the author of 4 books and has lots of political credits behind him. His Turning Point Action organization is ballot-chasing to try to assure that this next election is honest. In discovering how he was moved to follow this path, we can learn what makes the difference between people who turn out like him - and those who spend their time protesting for Hamas. Leslie Manookian, President and Founder of the Health Freedom Defense Fund, seeks to rectify health injustice through education, advocacy, and legal challenges to unjust mandates, laws, and policies that undermine our health freedoms and human rights. Most notably, she has taken up the legal fight against the Los Angeles COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate and fortunately refused to quit when one court ruled against her. Just in - a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on June 7 reversed that ruling, so the fight is still on!
Hamas Sympathizers have cropped up everywhere - spewing their hate and refusing to believe or care about the atrocities Hamas is perpetrating on Israel! Wait until they realize 'We're all Israel!' and in danger. Radical Islamists are taught since childhood to wage jihad and kill the unbelievers - those who don't believe in Radical Islam. Today's guests will help you understand and know how to prevent being sucked in to the propaganda and AntiSemitism. Jason Rantz, author of What's Killing America: Inside the Radical Left's Tragic Destruction of our Cities, will talk about The AntiSemitic Mask Slips Off the Left in American Cities. Jason Sheppard, founder of Wimkin Social Media, will talk about how Hamas Turns to Social Media to Win Propaganda War.
Have you been feeling increasingly uneasy about our increasingly dangerous world? Not just the obvious stuff, like leaders threatening to nuke us, but more hidden and sinister dangers. Today's guest, Dr. Richard M. Fleming is a physicist, nuclear cardiologist, and attorney with over 50 years of research into what is lurking in the shadows to kill us. His new book, Are WE The Next Endangered Species? First, he will explore these dangers and describe how they are heading towards a crescendo of destruction, and then provide a roadmap and a call to action for us to stop it from becoming inevitable. For example, key revelations include the stealthy usurpation of power in the United States since the 1850s, the nation's pivotal role in developing biological and chemical weapons, and its shocking collaboration with Nazi scientists, doctors, and intelligence officers. Dr. Fleming unveils the shadowy world of covert operations, the establishment of the military-industrial complex, and the surrender of medical control to the federal government.You will hear about the intricate pathways of biowarfare and eugenics converging with the emergence of COVID, the gain-of-function bioweapons responsible for the pandemic and the parallel development of eugenic genetic vaccines. He reveals the control the military-industrial complex and world leaders wielded over your life, movement, property, and freedoms. He warns us how those in power are on the brink of realizing their ultimate control, it's a call to action. It doesn't just raise awareness—it empowers readers to understand, question, and take decisive action to halt the ominous path we're on.
As we await the verdict in the Trump trial, think about this:The NY Appeals Court just overturned Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, citing prejudicial conduct. The judge in his trial allowed women to testify about unproven allegations of sexual harassment. Meanwhile Democrats are depending on prejudicial conduct to get Trump in case after case. Why should you care - especially if you don't like Weinstein or Trump? Because prejudicial conduct could one day affect you or someone you care about. Today's guest, Jessamyn Dodd, a reporter at the Epoch Times.How many lives of innocent men has the #MeToo movement destroyed? Too many! They've even gotten men arrested in France, like Gerard Depardieu! You'll also hear about others. What's this two women finding fault with #MeToo and defending men?.
Replaying this today as we approach Memorial Day because, although we must remember with gratitude ALL who fought for America, the military who gave their lives after 9/11 and to fight the Taliban deserve special recognition after President Biden SURRENDERED and tossed their sacrifices away. The Taliban is celebrating mock funerals today, and practicing for REAL ones of Americans tomorrow - not only for troops & Americans left behind, but for those they plan to kill on American soil! indeed, more ramifications of this Afghanistan travesty are to come! And it makes us heartsick. We're all in shock and grieving for the loss of the war on terror in Afghanistan. But, imagine how devastated veterans feel - veterans who rushed into the War on Terror after 9/11 because of their deep patriotism. President Biden has callously robbed them of their identity, by surrendering to the Taliban! His callous disrespect for the troops was obvious when he kept looking at his watch when 13 troops came home in coffins and spoke about his own son instead of comforting the families who lost theirs. Today's guests are Dr. Lorin Lindner, PhD, MPH, the CEO and President of Lockwood Animal Rescue Center/Serenity Park Sanctuary - where veterans save rescued animals who, in turn, save them and help them to heal. She's also the author of Birds of a Feather. Stanley McDonald is a 10 year Navy veteran and Navy Seabee who served in combat in Kuwait during the Gulf War, Desert Storm and Desert Shield. He's currently the Foreman of the Warrior and Wolves program. Both of them are also in close contact with Afghanistan vets.
Want to know how to start a war in America, if not World War III? Just ask Biden because he's on his way to doing it! A big part of this is his obsession with bringing in so-called Palestinians, refugees from Gaza. This is a BIG mistake, and here to explain why is today's guest, Morgan Lerette, former Army intelligence Captain and author of Guns, Girls, and Greed: I Was a Blackwater Mercenary in Iraq, an unvarnished, behind-the-scenes tell-all account of the scathing and dangerous life of mercenaries at war in Iraq. At a time when Biden has initiated a pier, as a plan to facilitate supplies getting to Gaza, inserting America into the war and putting Americans at risk, Lerette will give a first-hand analysis of what this will do to the Middle East war. As a private contractor employed by the notorious Blackwater in the early days of the Iraq War, he pulls no punches in calling out the incompetence of both the US military and the Department of State during the collapse of Iraq. You can decide if the insertion of private contractors in Iraq assisted or detracted from the war effort and if the costs in blood and treasure were worth the carnage.He will take you behind the scenes into the world of private contractors conducting high-threat missions for a nascent Iraqi government in the hopes of rebuilding after the fall of Saddam Hussein. With limited support, the men of Blackwater protected US diplomats as the country descended into sectarian violence. It was a hazardous mission complete with rockets, mortars, improvised explosive devices, and not knowing who or where the enemy was.
Since madrasas in the Middle East - and even some Leftist schools in America - teach wannabe terrorists and innocent kids, respectively, that the Holocaust never happened... it's invaluable to hear the truth from someone who lived through it, like today's guest. This episode of Dr. Carole's Couch commemorates International Holocaust Memorial Day (January 27th, 2022). As time goes on, there are fewer survivors left to tell their story. We are fortunate to have one of the survivors here with us today. Dr. Jacob Eisenbach was born in Poland and has an amazing tale of survival, beginning when Hitler invaded Poland. He and his brother hid from the Nazis until they were finally caught, brought to a ghetto and ended up in a German concentration camp. He lost his family during those dark days, and eventually made it to America where he became a dentist. These days, his mission is to tell his story to assure Holocaust Deniers that the Holocaust really did happen, and to try to make sure it never happens again. He speaks all over the world against hate, discrimination, anti-Semitism and genocide. Dr. Eisenbach wants people to know, My story is of global importance because the world must know what a genocide looks like, what it feels like and what what it means. With a nuclear warheads currently mounted on more than 12,000 intercontinental ballistic missiles (“ICBMs”) a genocide in this century would clearly represent an existential threat to civilization. For this reason, when we witness today’s rapidly evolving signs of hatred, intolerance and persecution perpetrated by one ethnic group against another, the world can no longer afford to remain silent. People of the world must work together to prevent all genocides, so some day we will be able to say with confidence 'NEVER AGAIN!
The NY Appeals Court just overturned Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, citing prejudicial conduct. The judge in his trial allowed women to testify about unproven allegations of sexual harassment. Meanwhile Democrats are depending on prejudicial conduct to get Trump in case after case. Why should you care - especially if you don't like Weinstein or Trump? Because prejudicial conduct could one day affect you or someone you care about. Today's guest, Jessamyn Dodd, a reporter at the Epoch Times.How many lives of innocent men has the #MeToo movement destroyed? Too many! They've even gotten men arrested in France, like Gerard Depardieu! You'll also hear about others. What's this two women finding fault with #MeToo and defending men? .
There is a documented rise in suicides - and it keeps going up! No wonder, when each day's morning news makes you want to crawl back into bed, or even escape this world. From pronouns to protesters, racial divides to political divides, antisemitism to anti-everything-ism. There's more hate than heart, and it's hard to live in such a world. Today, Dr. Carole will analyze some of the top stories that make up today's headlines, how they undoubtedly make you feel, and what you can do about it when it gets to be too much... other than plotting your demise.
Israel’s challenge to survive, while surrounded by enemies, began long before October 7, 2023. But, on this day, the barbaric attack by Hamas terrorists, took it to another level. Not since the Holocaust has there been such an evil attack on Jews. Yet, since October 7, the mainstream media has been spewing lie after lie about the war, propaganda to make the whole world turn against Israel and join sides with the terrorists. It’s shocking that so many believe these lies and dangerous for everyone, because Israel is the canary in the coal mine - what happens to it is only a preview of what terrorists are on track to do to the rest of the world - including America. Today’s guests, Marc Belzberg and Naomi Nussbaum are speaking to you from war-torn Israel. Marc Belzberg is the Chairman of the Board of OneFamily and Naomi Nussbaum is the Executive Director, Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy of OneFamily, an organization based in Israel whose mission is: Overcoming Terror Together. OneFamily supports and empowers victims of terror and bereaved families, to help them achieve their emotional, social and financial independence, so they can reintegrate into society. They will tell you the raw truth, dispelling mainstream media lies - like lies that say what Israel is doing is ‘genocide’. They will also reveal the untold stories of the impact of the war on Israeli life and the Israeli people. And you will hear the guests' personal stories - what brought them to Israel and what keeps them there -even after Iran sends drones and missiles.
While America was sleeping the Communists have been taking over the minds and hearts of our kids, one class at a time. Communists vowed, long ago, that they would take over America without one shot being fired and they are. We can't do anything about it... unless we understand how they did it. Today's guest, Julie Behling, knows the answer. She is the writer and director of Beneath Sheep's Clothing, a new documentary feature film, and the author of the companion book, Beneath Sheep's Clothing: The Communist Takeover of Culture in the USSR & Parallels in Today's America. And she was a missionary in Russia!Today in America, we are living in a time of war. Our country has been invaded by Communist forces that are training 49.4 million American public-school children to become Marxist revolutionaries. Our churches are infiltrated by wolves in sheep’s clothing. And the bedrock ideologies upon which America was founded have been weakened to the point that they will die off with the older generations.This is not fiction. This is a wake-up call to the American people – to everyone with children in schools, to Christians, and to anyone who cares about freedom.Over a century ago, the communist playbook began to be utilized on American soil. It appears to be close to reaching a pinnacle, after which there will be nothing to be done. America will fall to totalitarian rule.

With all the crazy, scary things happening in the world... we need LAUGHTER more than ever! It's as essential as air and water to keep us alive. Yet, some have lost their sense of humor. Cancel culture is trying to take our comedians away by suing them and the venues that dare to host them - from comedy clubs to streaming video services! Today's guest, New York attorney Carl Unegbu, is the author of the new book, COMEDY GOES TO COURT: When People Stop Laughing and Start Fighting. He's considered the foremost authority on comedy and the law. He says, There may be far worse things for comedians or comedy actors to worry about than having a string of jokes bomb. Just ask Dave Chappelle, Conan O’Brien, Howard Stern, Adam Carolla, Charlie Sheen, Jon Lovitz, Jimmy Kimmel, John Oliver, Jay Leno and a host of others. What they should be concerned about are the details that keep them out of the courtroom!Unegbu will talk about this minefield that such comics have to cross, including: the right of comedians to free speech, copping the work or appearance of somebody else, comedians getting in trouble onstage and offstage, when the funny goes silly and the intersection crisis between comedy and other people’s lives.
Today, more important than ever to understand: Today's guest, Lee Habeeb, a Newsweek Columnist, Vice President of Content at Salem Media Group and host of Our American Stories, has personal experience with anti-Israel and anti-semitism anger. He writes: I'll never forget the day in 1983 when white people on my college campus accused me of not being a real Arab. And, worse, of acting and thinking like a white person. It was a surreal moment because it was white people doing the accusing.I'd been a dark-skinned person all my life, with a quintessential Arabic last name, but never considered myself white. I'm also Italian on my mother's side, and in the summers, my skin gets darker than Barack Obama's.I was raised in a New Jersey suburban town of 20,000 and was the only person with an Arabic last name. I was heckled and teased a bit—the usual teenage stupidity. Luckily, my parents didn't intercede. To take such claims seriously, they explained, would give power to the offender. Moreover, I might lose sight of all the good white people who didn't care that I had an Arabic last name or dark skin.The truth is, the vast majority of white people I met were exceedingly good to me. Many were rooting for me because I was different.I focused instead on the things I could control. Things that mattered to me and my parents. My grades. My conduct. And my future, which would be determined by my choices. My attitude. And the people I surrounded myself with.Personal responsibility and agency were a big deal to my Lebanese and Italian family. So too was hard work. It was all taught to me without ever being taught—it was that fundamental.Tune in for the rest of the story....
Dr. Carole will take you along on the journey of Biden's Brain. She was the FIRST to announce on national media - while Biden was running for President in 2020 - that he has Encroaching Dementia. She was able to recognize it because, as a forensic psychiatrist and expert witness, she has experience with cases where competency is an issue, such as when grown children are fighting over their parent's will and one wants to claim that their dad wasn't competent when he wrote them out of his will. In a published OpEd in 2022, Dr. Carole offered to give Biden a competency test - but he has yet to take her up on it. He still is refusing to take such a test, but Robert Hur, while investigating whether Biden mishandled classified documents, arrived at the conclusion that, although there was enough to charge Biden with this, the jury would see him as a sympathetic elderly man with memory problems. Not competent to stand trial makes him eligible for impeachment and the 25th amendment. Recently, we all watched Biden try to give the State of the Union speech. Overnight, he went from quiet and bumbling to loud, angry and amped up - which Dr. Carole has said was due to his being given an amphetamine like Adderall.On today's show, Dr. Carole will describe the symptoms he had at each state and what destruction he has done to America. She fears that the worst is yet to come. Dr. Carole has always acknowledged that she never personally met or examined Biden, but she has been following him closely via media appearances and stories since before he went into his basement.
It is NOW more important than ever to know the REAL Kamala Harris! President Biden is hanging in there by a thread - his encroaching dementia getting worse each day. But, whether or not Biden makes it to Election Day - without getting impeached or outed by the 25th Amendment - Kamala is doing her best to stick to him like glue! She is counting on continuing as the Vice-President, while hoping to be the President! Kamala Harris wasn't really a household name throughout most of America until she was nominated by the Democratic Party for Vice-President. Yet it is especially important for everyone to get to know who she is because Joe Biden, the Democratic Party's Presidential nominee is not fit enough-mentally or physically-to last four years. This means whoever is VP would likely shoulder much of the responsibilities and take over at some point during the term. So, who is Kamala Harris? Today's guest, Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt, PhD (aka Dr. Chaps), a former State Representative (R-CO) and author, takes us back to Kamala's earliest days in politics and how she traded sex for a political head start. Her first move was to have an extra-marital affair with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, who not only gave her two six-figure political appointments, but escorted her on his arm to hobnob at political events, introducing her to key figures who would later finance her political aspirations.
Have you noticed how America has changed from the beautiful, family-centered, patriotic country it once was? You know, the kind depicted in paintings from Norman Rockwell: kids in class pledging allegiance to the flag, fathers taking their sons fishing, families sitting down to dinner and giving thanks for living in America, blacks and whites together? What happened to destroy our country? Obama happened! Today's guest, Scott McKay, is the author of the newly released book, Racism, Revenge and Ruin: It's All Obama. McKay takes us behind the carefully protected image of Obama and reveals who he really is and what he has done to us. We thought a black president, who promised hope and change would be great for America. We were wrong! Obama hid what he really hoped for and how he was going to change the country. He turned us into a nation divided by race, and more vulnerable to terrorists than ever before. And he is STILL doing it! He's the puppeteer behind Biden and behind racist shows on Netflix! He's not finished destroying America... and will continue until we stop him.
Imagine being wheeled into the Emergency Room after you just had a heart attack or an accident and you're at death's door... Now you need to ask if the ER doctor doesn't like your race or religion or politics! Wokeness is bad enough when it gets people or books cancelled, but now it can cancel your life! Today's guest, Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, is the Chairman of the Board of Do No Harm, an organization that is trying to bring back medicine the way it once was - where EVERY patient was treated with the best care possible. They are a diverse group of physicians, healthcare professionals, medical students, patients, and policymakers united by a moral mission: Protect healthcare from a radical, divisive, and discriminatory ideology. We believe in making healthcare better for all – not undermining it in pursuit of a political agenda.You will hear shocking reports about how medical schools, and medical organizations including the AMA (American Medical Association), hospitals and so on are unashamedly functioning under antisemitic rules which are - not only unethical - but also, illegal - or will be if Do No Harm continues to have its way with the various lawsuits they've filed.
An amazing new film has been released just in time to warn us about the dangers of radioactivity - at a time when some are trying to get us to replace fossil fuels with nuclear energy. The accident at Three Mile Island - about which the nuclear energy regulators and the owners of the plant lied - is still causing cancer in people who lived for miles around. Today's guest, Heidi Hutner, is the Director, Producer and Writer of this award-winning documentary - from First Run Features - that will undoubtedly save lives if people hear the message!
Today, a Michigan jury found school shooter Ethan Crumbley's mom, Jennifer Crumbley, guilty of 4 counts of involuntary manslaughter - a groundbreaking verdict! This is yet another way in which mental illness is interconnecting with the Criminal Justice System. Ethan, suffering from mental illness, begged his parents for psychiatric help for years - but they were too busy with their own pursuits to hear his cries. As a result, 4 students are dead and others injured. Fortunately, the jury got it right and found her guilty! But, it's probably too late to save Ethan from life behind bars. Today's guest, attorney Elizabeth Kelley, is a one-woman fighter on behalf of the rights of the mentally ill. Mental illness is not a crime, but too often, the mentally ill end up behind bars because they didn't get the help they needed and deserved.
George Soros is a man with billions at his disposal and one of the most powerful networks in the world, whose motto is: If I spend enough, I can make it right. But what is right, according to Soros?Today's guest, Rachel Ehrenfeld, author of The Soros Agenda, perceptively predicted, Unchallenged, Soros would change the political landscape of the U.S. Join her on the journey as she exposes the Orwellian lingo, schemes, and strategies Soros has been using to transform America from a thriving, law-and-order democracy into a Sorostian world.George Soros's past as a survivor of World War II is an experience he applies as his primary credential to justify meddling in the political and social affairs of countries around the world. The self-proclaimed agnostic, Soros disputes Israel's right to exist as the Jewish State but exploits the religion he was born into as a tactic to shield him from criticism. For the past four decades, Soros has been using his multibillion-dollar, political-philanthropic global network to impose his Weltanschauung on the world.By 1993, Soros was heralded as The Man Who Broke the Bank of England. He used the praises and publicity to create a network of powerful foundations dedicated to his overriding ambition and objective to reshape the world's only constitutional democratic republic, the United States of America. By 2023 the nation's political and social landscape has changed beyond recognition. The financial speculator's enormous sums of money oiled the Democrat Party's machine that advanced his agenda that turned the American dream into a nightmare. How did he do that?
If you think it's an exaggeration to say that the 2024 elections will determine if America lives or dies - you are living under a rock or in serious denial. The Obama/Biden White House has done more to destroy our country and our freedom than any other presidency. From the Southern border invasion of illegal immigrants (terrorists, murderers, drug cartels, disease carriers, etc.) who are depleting our economy and health care resources, to politicization of the courts, to propaganda that pretends to be education, and on and on. Lucky for us, today's guest, Drew Thomas Allen, has written THE book to help us understand why and how we must vote in 2024, America's Last Stand: Will You Vote to Save or Destroy America in 2024. Allen has written a brutally honest account of the historic failures of the Biden administration and the most critical and urgent arguments for reclaiming American independence from our tyrannical captors in 2024…before it’s too late.America’s Last Stand chronicles the failures and lies of the Biden administration, unleashes a devastating account of the Democratic Party’s unforgivable history, and warns Americans of their plans to eradicate our freedoms and destroy American prosperity and security in the future. Allen also sets the record straight on the countless lies that have been spread about former President Trump.Indeed, America’s Last Stand is the definitive voting guide for the 2024 presidential election
Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is a fragile thing and it’s never more thanone generation away from extinction.” Ever since the 2020 election was stolen from President Trump, the White House (Obama, Biden and Kamala) have been driving America into destruction - like a runaway train. Our freedom is hanging by a thread and it will take each and every one of us to do something to hold onto it. Fortunately, there are some special people, like today’s guest, Christina Bobb, who is helping us fight like hell. She currently serves as attorney for Donald J. Trump. Her new book, Stealing Your Vote: The Inside Story of The 2020 Election and What It Means for 2024, takes us behind the scenes and exposes what really went on in the backrooms of polling places, legislatures, Congress and more. By breaking down the crimes that were committed by both Democrat and Republican politicians, woke leftist activists, and people who don’t realize that the Democratic party is not what it used to be, Ms. Bobb provides us with a blueprint for how we can and must save 2024. The Washington D.C. swamp lied, cheated and stole, to make it seem like Biden won, a man with encroaching dementia. We can’t let them pull the wool over our eyes again to sell out our country to socialism and the global elite . They were, and still are terrified of President Trump because they know Trump is wise to them and would continue to make America Great Again, Again!
Do you really know what happened on January 6th and why YOU could be next? It's not what you have been led to believe. President Trump did not call for an insurrection. I listened to his speech that morning, so I can tell you the truth. The Obama/Biden White House just wants you to believe that he did so they can try - as they're already doing - to fraudulently kick Trump off the ballot for 2024! It's election interference! Today's guest, Tim Rivers knows all about it, and he has been in communication with all the J6 prisoners. In fact, none of the J6 prisoners have been charged with insurrection, so how could Trump have caused one? Tim Rivers is the author of The American Gulag Chronicles. Part one is Letters from Prison. Part 2 is Art of Confinement. He not only writes to these prisoners, he has 'adopted' three of them - and you can, tool Find out more on https://j6patriotnews.com
Ghislaine Maxwell has become the woman we love to hate for her privileged life and her alleged role of Madame - procuring young girls for Jeffrey Epstein to sexually exploit. But, what if there was more, a lot more? If there is anyone who knows, it's today's guest, Dylan Howard. He's a media executive extraordinaire and author of Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales, as well as several other literary tell-alls. Ghislaine sits in jail while the world watches documentaries that all but convict her and we wonder whether she'll be doomed to the same fate as Epstein, a mysterious 'suicide' to cover up what she knows about whom....

Coca Cola and countless other companies have been flying under the radar while they force their employees to take training to be less white! They define being less white as being less: oppressive, arrogant, ignorant and more. Fortunately, today's guest, Dr. Karlyn Borysenko, has blown the whistle on these practices and is working to expose them. Dr. Borysenko is the author of Zen Your Work: Create Your Ideal Work Experience Through Mindful Self-Mastery. She was happily working as a successful speaker, trainer, consultant and coach to companies big and small, when employees reached out to her with samples of outrageous training programs they were forced to take. These programs, that are similar to those foisted on schoolchildren, are aimed at making white people feel guilty for being white. They promote the premise that all white people are racist. But, instead of encouraging a more inclusive workplace - or school environment - these programs actually CAUSE more divisiveness! Dr. Karlyn shares her experiences as a whistleblower and blows the cover off of these dangerous practices!

What's the matter with kids today? Politics have taken over our schools, teaching kids to hate America and themselves! Where does this propaganda come from? The books that have crept into the schools to teach them pornography, racism and twisted history instead of the classics of literature - like To Kill a Mockingbird, Gone with the Wind and Huckleberry Finn. Even Shakespeare has to fight to stay in school! Today's guest, Riley Lee, is the president of SkyTree Book Fairs, a Texas-based non-profit organization that brings book fairs to schools around the country offering age-appropriate and wholesome books to children.Riley is a former middle school teacher and mother with a passion for helping others and a love for all things health and wellness. Her strong Christian roots have shaped her endeavors and led her to her first journey to defend future generations alongside Kirk Cameron during his story hour tour. She saw a need for an alternative option to Scholastic's monopolized market and, after consulting with several other concerned parents, they began the process of launching SkyTree, booking over 200 fairs just weeks after launching. Today, SkyTree Book Fairs provides safer, more age-appropriate literature for children in private and public schools across the country.
While the world outside goes crazy, we also have to cope with our own personal upheavals. And as divorces skyrocket, more children are torn between two homes. Today's guest, Anthony J. Mohr, a former Los Angeles Superior Court Judge, is the author of Every Other Weekend: Coming of Age with Two Different Dads. In this biography, he recounts growing up in the shadow of two towering figures in his life – his father Hollywood actor Gerald Mohr and stepfather, a credit card industry pioneer, Stanley Dashew – in a time when divorce and blended families weren't the norm. From the 1930s to the 1950s, Gerald Mohr made more than 500 radio plays, 73 films, and over 100 television shows, with roles including Raymond Chandler's hardboiled detective, Philip Marlowe. In contrast, Stanley Dashew, was a successful entrepreneur in the finance and credit card industry. As one Dashew's star rose, Mohr's faded as he was unable to sustain his career in the rapidly changing world of entertainment.His story will touch many of you, as either a parent who got divorced or as a child of divorce, yourself.
Hamas Sympathizers have cropped up everywhere - spewing their hate and refusing to believe or care about the atrocities Hamas is perpetrating on Israel! Wait until they realize 'We're all Israel!' and in danger. Radical Islamists are taught since childhood to wage jihad and kill the unbelievers - those who don't believe in Radical Islam. Today's guests will help you understand and know how to prevent being sucked in to the propaganda and AntiSemitism. Jason Rantz, author of What's Killing America: Inside the Radical Left's Tragic Destruction of our Cities, will talk about The AntiSemitic Mask Slips Off the Left in American Cities. Jason Sheppard, founder of Wimkin Social Media, will talk about how Hamas Turns to Social Media to Win Propaganda War.
The attacks by Hamas on Israel of October 7, 2023 and beyond are too brutal for a court of law because animals aren't allowed in the courtroom. But, if we were to try them for terrorism or murder or war crimes, we could find no better attorney to do so than today's guest, Alan Dershowitz. Alan Dershowitz, is one of the most celebrated lawyers in the world. He was the youngest full professor in Harvard Law School history where he is now the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law, Emeritus. The author of numerous bestselling books, from Chutzpah to Guilt by Accusation to The Case Against Impeaching Trump to The Best Defense to Reversal of Fortune (which was made into an Academy Award–winning film) to Defending Israel, Dershowitz has advised presidents and prime ministers and has represented many prominent men and women, half of them pro bono.His accolades and accomplishments are too numerous to describe here, so please check out his bio on this page.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by all the reports of what's going on in Israel after the barbaric attack by Hamas? Getting different pictures from different news outlets and don't know what to believe? Well, you can hear it straight from today's guest: Stuart Katz, one of the first boots-on-the-ground volunteers in the south of Israel! He's seen it firsthand and wants everyone to know the truth. Katz is a dedicated volunteer - mental health advocate and author - who is actively providing support and solidarity to communities impacted by ongoing conflicts.Since he splits his time between his two homes - in Israel and New York - he is also engaged in gathering critical supplies and goods to assist those affected by the ongoing war. He has transported at least 39 duffel bags of goods to the Israeli army. Katz will discuss his first-hand experiences in the south of Israel, providing unique insights into the challenges faced by communities in conflict zones, and highlighting the importance of solidarity and support during times of adversity. Katz is a man of much dedication and generosity, which you can read about when you click on his Bio.

There is no question that schools are upside down these days - from what kids are being taught to why school administrators prefer to protect dangerous kids rather than their victims. This is happening in schools all over America. Today's guest, Jarred Weisfeld, tells you of his own personal experiences with his child's school - from how a classmate who brought a boxcutter to school (the same weapon the 9/11 hijackers used) was kept in class even after he assaulted a child --- to what happened when he offered to donate money to help fund a pilot program that would empower teachers to use an app to quickly summon police when there was an active shooter. Now what could be wrong with that? But, administrators said, No! and blamed it on Equity - whatever that is.... Mr. Weisfeld is the CEO of Objective Entertainment, a full-service literary agency, the President of Start Publishing, and the head of a publishing empire. His stellar credits also include TV, music, and film. Hear about how dangerous schools have become, and why the danger is increasing. Something has got to be done!
Most people of both parties agree - Biden has reached his 'sell by' date long ago! We must help him out of the White House before he gets us into World War III! Whether to impeach or invoke the 25the Amendment is the question. Today's guest, Bradlee Dean, is a nationally syndicated radio show host of Sons of Liberty Radio and a weekly columnist for WorldNet Daily and over 35 others. He will speak about the scandals that Hunter and Joe Biden are in, having taken millions - if not billions - from foreign countries, including our enemies -- and will answer the question: Does Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy have a legitimate impeachment case against President Joe Biden? Dr. Carole, a forensic psychiatrist who has been warning people about Biden's encroaching dementia since he first ran for president from his basement, will explain his cognitive issues and why they are so dangerous.
Each 9/11 Anniversary, some politicians try to make us forget what happened on September 11, 2001 - the worst terror attack on American soil. Although Ilhan Omar would like us to think of this date as, “Some people did something,” we had better know which people did what or we will be at an even greater risk of it happening again. The ‘people' were 19 Radical Islamist Al Qaeda terrorists, led by Osama bin Laden. The ‘something' was hijacking 4 planes that crashed into the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and, thanks to brave passengers, into a Pennsylvania field instead of Washington, D.C. Today, Dr. Carole aka The Terrorist Therapist® will tell you about the dark forces trying to erase 9/11 from our memory. This year, the 22nd Anniversary of 9/11, the Obama/Biden White House has gone even further to try to erase 9/11 from our minds and our Anniversary commemorations - with slaps in the face of victims, heroes and all Americans. But wait, there's more.......

Everything gets blamed on climate change these days in an effort to create mass hysteria! This is because people don't know history - where climate change is just a natural thing that happens in cycles, and because there are those who have an agenda - where they benefit financially and politically from making us buy electric cars and sort our garbage. These are the people who are now turning to Public Schools to churn out a Generation of Greta Thunbergs to push their Radical Climate Agenda. Today's guest, Thea Shoemake, is very passionate about warning parents of what kids are learning in school. She's a homeschool advocate and founder of homeschoolreadyornot.com, a comprehensive online guide that helps shepherd parents through the new and unfamiliar adventure of homeschooling. Not only has she warned of CRT and DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion), she's now taking on the new subject that is beginning to invade our schools: climate justice!?! States like New Jersey, California, Connecticut, New York, and others, are advancing legislation to require climate change lessons in every K-12 subject – including foreign languages, math and physical education. This blatant attempt to cultivate an entire generation of Greta Thunbergs at a time when proficiency levels are abysmal should incite outrage among parents, teachers, and students. While climate change deserves some discussion in science classes, other important subjects should not be used as a vehicle to push a political agenda. According to the New Jersey Department of Education, all curricula must approach climate change and climate solutions from a climate justice perspective. What this looks like in practice is an unabashed indoctrination effort.
Today's guest, Miriam Grossmn, M.D.,author of Lost in Trans Nation: A Child Psychiatrist's Guide Out of the Madness, says, Throughout our country, atrocities are taking place in doctor’s offices and hospital operating rooms. Physically healthy children and adolescents are being permanently disfigured and sometimes sterilized. Those youth say they’re transgender, and we—their parents, teachers, therapists, and doctors—are supposed to agree with their self-diagnosis and take a back seat as they make the most consequential decision of their lives: to alter their bodies in order to, we are told, 'align' them with their minds. Medical, educational, and government authorities advise us to support the 'gender journeys' of still developing kids, including medical interventions with poor evidence of long-term improvement. This would not be acceptable in any other field of medicine. Indeed, the treatments our medical authorities and Washington call 'crucial' and 'life-saving' have been banned in progressive Sweden, Finland, and Britain.
Dr. Miriam Grossman is a child and adolescent psychiatrist whose practice consists of trans-identified youth and their families. In Lost in Trans Nation, she implores parents to reject the advice of gender experts and politicians and trust their guts—their parental instincts—in the face of an onslaught of ideologically driven misinformation that steers them and their children toward risky decisions they may end up mourning for the rest of their lives.
Due to current events where the Democrats' narrative of Jan. 6 and any questioning of the validity of the 2020 election are being used as a weapon to put Trump and his supporters in jail... this episode is worth repeating.
The events of January 6th, the 'trespassing' of the Capitol to protest a fraudulent election, has been the banner cry of Biden supporters and Trump haters - but they have been telling you LIES from the beginning - and continue to perpetuate these lies with the Congressional January 6th committee hearings. This is a desperate attempt to turn half the country against the other half, and to hide election fraud so that they can continue to perpetuate it at mid-terms and future elections. They are stealing democracy and freedom away from Americans! Fortunately, two bold men - today's guests - have created a film to tell the REAL story. It is shocking that this could happen in America, but you won't have any doubts once you see it. Meanwhile, you can hear what Director Chris Burgard and Producer Nick Searcy have to say, on this episode of Dr. Carole's Couch.
Kamala Harris wasn't really a household name throughout most of America until she was nominated by the Democratic Party for Vice-President. Yet it is especially important for everyone to get to know who she is because Joe Biden, the Democratic Party's Presidential nominee is not fit enough-mentally or physically-to last four years. This means whoever is VP would likely shoulder much of the responsibilities and take over at some point during the term. So, who is Kamala Harris? Today's guest, Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt, PhD (aka Dr. Chaps), a former State Representative (R-CO) and author, takes us back to Kamala's earliest days in politics and how she traded sex for a political head start. Her first move was to have an extra-marital affair with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, who not only gave her two six-figure political appointments, but escorted her on his arm to hobnob at political events, introducing her to key figures who would later finance her political aspirations.
Not just Virginia's problem-coming to a school near you, too! Would you believe that an ad - banned by network television stations in Virginia - because it is unlawful to show such sexually explicit materials - is the current reading material provided to Virginia's students? Several local TV stations refused to air Independent Women’s Voice’s ad: “Worth 1,000 Words”, depicting sexually explicit materials available in VA public schools. Federal communications law prohibits televisions from showing adults such materials, even when the same materials have been available to kids in Virginia public schools. IWV accordingly created a modified version of its 30-second ad, which shows a blurred version of what kids see, to conform with that law. But today, stations again refused to air the ad, claiming it still is ostensibly not suitable for late night adult viewing. Today's guests, Kelsey Bolar and Julie Gunlock, are Senior Policy Analysts at Independent Women's Voice, an organization located in Washington, D.C. Both the first uncensored ad and the second with censored images may be viewed at ToxicSchools.org. Parents can also take action at the website and make their voices heard. Federal law prohibits TV stations from airing obscene, indecent or profane content, marketers must follow text message industry S.H.A.F.T regulations, and social media companies have similar rules in place that make it impossible to actually show the public the explicit content. Yet, when it comes to Virginia public school students, these protections are thrown out the window. In 2016, then-Governor McAuliffe vetoed a bill that would have allowed parents to block sexually explicit books in school, and in 2021 he stated that he didn’t think parents should have a say about what is imposed on their children.This is despite the specific protections Virginia law gives the rights of parents. Again, don't think this is only a problem for Virginia-it's coming to a school near you, too!
America is at a breaking point, but fortunately today’s guests can fix it - each in their own way. Richard Lyons, author of The DNA of Democracy and Shadows of the Acropolis, examines democracy from its historical roots to the modern day, constructing a blueprint of what defines tyranny or democracy. He documents the struggle for power between tyrants and heroes across time and place.
Then one of these heroes, Kari Lake, the 2022 Republican nominee for governor of Arizona, comes on to model what someone can do who puts their love of America first. Her new book, Unafraid: Just Getting Started, tells the story of her struggle to claim an election that was rightfully hers. Endorsed by President Donald Trump, she ran on a platform of putting Arizona first and has not given up fighting to save America from the tyrannical forces that are trying to break it apart.
We're crossing boundaries and falling down the rabbit hole! We're lost in an existential. post-Covid19, post-lockdown society where nothing is as it seems! We've crossed too many boundaries: sex, gender, race, law, ethics, money, medicine, work, etc. - too many once held values have been trampled. Are we happier? Absolutely not! Norman Rockwell, the famous painter, whose paintings appeared on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post for years, painted heartwarming scenes of families - at dinner, fishing, getting ice-cream, playing sports - all the traditional things we held dear. They gave us warmth and stability and now wonderful memories. But, the Obama-Biden White House took down the Rockwell paintings - a symbol of how they want to change America's fabric. They don't want us to remember those good times - they are trying to turn America into Orwell's 1984 - and will succeed if we don't stop them! Today, Dr. Carole looks at items in the news and points out how mind-bending they are in order to bring back some sanity.
Why are we sitting back and allowing our country to be dissed and destroyed by haters? Growing divisiveness in this country has never been as shockingly displayed as on this past July 4th weekend, when individuals and institutions - from NPR to NYT to PBS to National Geographic to a Congresswoman - trashed American symbols and America, itself! This was very demoralizing, depressing and distressing to the majority of Americans and to the troops watching and listening to the weekend festivities celebrating America’s Birthday. But, even worse is what it says about the boundless attack on traditional values. Dr. Carole describes examples of these attacks and what impact they are having on our nation. She also quotes excerpts from Aaron Lewis’ new song, “Am I The Only One,” which describes his despair and hope for America to be saved. (This is an encore show from from July 2021 and 2022.)
Do you believe love conquers all? When you hear today's guest, retired Air Force pilot Col. and former POW, Lee Ellis, talk about his book, Captured By Love, you will. As we near the 50th Anniversary of the End of the Vietnam War and return of the POWs, it is particularly poignant to hear these inspiring romance and love stories. POWs who returned from the Vietnam War, after years of incarceration and mistreatment in the infamous Hanoi Hilton prison system, you will be amazed at the power of love to provide hope and strength under unimaginable conditions. Captured by Love, provides a rare glimpse into the resilient and enduring love and romance that emerged from such a challenging and heartbreaking situation. Lee Ellis wrote this book to, not only show that love overcomes all, but to also honor the men and women who sacrifice for our nation. Early in his career, Lee served as an Air Force fighter pilot flying fifty-three combat missions over North Vietnam. In 1967, he was shot down and held as a POW for more than five years in Hanoi and surrounding camps. For his wartime service, he was awarded two Silver Stars, the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star with Valor device, the Purple Heart, and POW Medal. Lee resumed his Air Force career, serving in leadership roles of increasing responsibility including command of a flying squadron and leadership development organizations before retiring as a colonel.
Bryan Kohberger finally has a woman who isn't rejecting him. Indeed, Brittney Hislope declares that she is lovesick for him and sends him love letters and sexy photos. But, Bryan wasn't her first prison romance. Her first love was Cody Hall, in prison in Kentucky, after being convicted of a deadly 2017 shooting and machete attack. Brittney was just as lovesick for Cody as she now claims to be for Bryan. She sent Cody love letters and visited him until Cody realized that she was too over the top, even for a man facing 23 lonely years in prison. Today's guest, Donna Hubbard, Cody's mom, courageously steps forward to tell the true story of Brittney's obsession with her son. Donna wrote, My son was convicted of murder, something I’m not proud of, but it is what it is. She became obsessed with him. Showed up at his court hearings, went to the jail, put money on his books. He was gonna play her along for commissary, again not proud, but she showed up for a visit one day and told him she loved him more than she loved her own child. That was finally when my son said enough. She would not stop. I finally recorded a video of him telling her he wanted nothing to do with her because when I told her she said I was a liar. After watching the video, she claimed the jail and me made him record it. She definitely has mental health issues and extreme narcissism.” Donna is a strong mental health advocate and states that the system failed her son. If they hadn't let him fall through the cracks, he wouldn't be in prison today. Dr. Carole wrote an open-letter to Brittney, after being asked by Newsweek to address her obsession with Bryan Kohberger. Dr. Carole's bestselling award-winning book, Bad Boys: Why We Love Them, How to Live with Them and When to Leave Them, has a chapter on The Lethal Lover, which explains the phenomenon of women falling in love with men in prison.
It isn't enough for Big Brother that some teachers - under orders from the Obama/Biden White House - are turning kids into any gender other than the one they were born as - behind their parents' back; now the government is enacting laws to punish parents for 'Misgendering Children'!?! Parents can't misgender kids - It's biology (and God) who determines their gender when they are in the womb! But, now they are wresting control away from parents even further by proposing an amendment to a bill that would brand parents who refuse to 'affirm' their child's gender as 'abusive' - and this could result in loss of custody. As a forensic psychiatrist/expert witness who has testified in countless custody and Child Protective Services cases, I have witnessed the government 'kidnapping' kids and putting them in foster care - which means they are now under government control! It's like Aldous Huxley's Brave New World!
Fortunately, there are people like today's guest, Karen England, President/Executive Director of California-based Capitol Resource Institute, Founder and Director of Nevada Family Alliance and Capitol Resource Institute of Tennessee. These non-profit organizations were created to advocate for traditional family values. A recent poll shows a drastic revelation: 82% of respondents disagree with this statement: “A person loses their parental rights when a child enters public school.” Parents are meant to work in tandem with the school district. Public schools are certainly not meant to be a secret society for our youth to confide in and Californians agree, said Karen England, President of Capitol Resource Institute. “There is no reason teachers and administrators should hold higher authority over children's well-being or mental health. In fact, Californians do not believe educators should hold ANY authority over their children.”
This leads to the next set of questions where 88% of respondents support schools notifying parents if their child has a change in mental conditions, like showing symptoms of depression or suicidal thoughts. 69% of surveyors support schools notifying parents if their child identifies or requests to be identified or treated as a gender that doesn’t align with their biological sex. And likewise, another question exposed that 68% of participants oppose teachers and school administrators keeping information about a child’s gender identity secret from the parents. That is a huge majority. These questions directly juxtaposes educators attempting to vilify parents who have already come forward about the school district keeping gender transition secrets for their children. These polling numbers make it clear that most California parents strongly wish to be directly involved with their children's mental health and well-being during and after school hours.
The controversy over LGBTQ+ has been getting louder and louder - especially now that Pride Month is upon us. You've undoubtedly heard news about Budweiser, Target and Disney and the backlash they've received for indulging in LGBTQ+ marketing. Unfortunately, the voices have gotten so loud that no one is listening to each other anymore. Today's guest, Chris Barrett, is the Co-Director of Chapters, Gays Against Groomers and Missouri Chapter Lead. Gays Against Groomers is a 501(c)4 organization of gay people who oppose the recent trend of indoctrinating, sexualizing and medicalizing children under the guise of “LGBTQIA+” It is one of the few sane voices in this heated irrational debate. Gays Against Groomers has existed for over a year now and it has chapters all over America and internationally. They describe their reason for existing as: Our community that once preached love and acceptance of others has been hijacked by radical activists who are now pushing extreme concepts onto society, specifically targeting children in recent years. As a psychiatrist, Dr. Carole is very concerned about the propaganda being fed to children to convince them that they are some other sex than they were born as. She says that it is one thing for a child to authentically come to the realization that they are gay or some other identity of sex or gender. But, to be convinced by teachers or activists that they should be something else, before they are old enough to understand what that even means, is child abuse. Kids are lost these days - after the lockdowns took them away from their peers - and with the world at large being an existential mess. So, they are vulnerable to people who tell them that if they become trans, or anything other than their biological sex, they will feel like they belong and life will be rosy. But, when they go along with this - and get hormones and surgeries - they sadly discover that the grass isn't greener and their life isn't happier, after all. Chris Barrett will also speak about The Detrans Care Initiative. During the month of June, 50% of all donations to Gays Against Groomers will go towards detransitioners that were medicalized as youth to assist with the care and healing they need.
Biden and Robert Kennedy Jr. have already thrown their hat into the ring to be the Democratic nominee for President in 2024... but, should we count Michelle Obama out or will she throw her hat in the ring, too?Michelle Obama has repeatedly denied that she would run for President. But, doth the lady protest too much? Today's guest, Joel Gilbert, says, Yes! He is the author of Michelle Obama 2024: Her Real Story and Plan for Power, and the director of the documentary Michelle Obama 2024. His deep dive into who she really is reveals that she's NOT who she pretends to be. She has pulled the wool over our eyes for years - but not any longer when you hear what he has discovered! If she wins in 2024, Gilbert predicts Michelle will take orders from global elites...and chaos and the destruction of America will follow. So, hopefully, his book and documentary will stop her Presidential aspirations in their tracks. Be one of the first to know!

You've heard we're in a FENTANYL CRISIS - but do you really know what this is and how you can escape dying from it? It's not just about avoiding strange men on street corners who are drug pushers - it's everywhere. Even people who don't take legal or illegal drugs are at risk. It's been coming across the border in droves and no neighborhood is immune! Today's guest, James Fishback, knows firsthand just how serious this crisis is. He's the founder and executive director of Incubate Debate, which serves thousands of middle and high school students, teaching them that open debate and free speech are essential. This school year, James has visited high schools across Florida and spoken with thousands of students about lethal fentanyl through Incubate's Not Even Once initiative.He has seen firsthand how little students know about fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that represents 80% of all fatal teen overdoses. He views the teen fentanyl crisis as a massive supply side issue and an education issue, both of which must be solved in order to save young men and women from this deadly poison.At a time when many schools insist on hosting drag queen story hour, there appears to be no time, effort, or urgency to discuss fentanyl with young people, who are peddled fentanyl via social media in the form of counterfeit pills made to look like FDA-approved drugs, Percocet, Oxycontin, Adderall.He will tell you what kids really think!
Everywhere you look, there are more signs of wokeness devouring American culture bit by bit. Today's guest will help you fight back. It's A.J. Rice, the author of the new bestseller, The Woking Dead: How Society's Vogue Virus Destroys Our Culture. It is a book that should be required reading for all high school and college students, and encouraged for everyone else. It may be the only thing that stands between American freedom drowning in a sea of woke cancel culture and becoming a totalitarian Marxist state. Americans are asleep at the switch - too dazed or to afraid to open our eyes to the insidious destruction of all our institutions and everything that made America great. It is a life raft that explains what has been engulfing our country and we need to grab onto it while there's any shred of hope to be had. It tells it like it is - and we need to hear it!
Dr. Carole talks about the hot topics of the day: Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale's manifesto and why all the fuss about it; the British Monarchy and the Coronation... and more.
This is a replay from Biden's run for President in 2020 - His mental & physical health have only gotten worse! We're all suffering from Election Stress Disorder. Find out what it is, why this year is different from all other years, and what you can do to feel better and cure it. Dr. Carole will also touch on the most controversial issues of the day - from why people blame President Trump for Coronavirus, to what it means that a fly stole the show at the Vice-Presidential debates, why childhood and not politics should be the focus of the Amy Coney Barrett's hearings for the Supreme Court - and what you need to know about Joe Biden's mental and physical health! She also urges you to sign her change.org petition to be sent to the Commission on Presidential Debates to: Save Our Election! Demand 2 More In-Person Debates! No Valid Medical Reason for Virtual! Especially since President Trump has tested negative for Covid19! https://tinyurl.com/yxp3k3d8
George Soros is a man with billions at his disposal and one of the most powerful networks in the world, whose motto is: If I spend enough, I can make it right. But what is right, according to Soros?Today's guest, Rachel Ehrenfeld, author of The Soros Agenda, perceptively predicted, Unchallenged, Soros would change the political landscape of the U.S. Join her on the journey as she exposes the Orwellian lingo, schemes, and strategies Soros has been using to transform America from a thriving, law-and-order democracy into a Sorostian world.George Soros's past as a survivor of World War II is an experience he applies as his primary credential to justify meddling in the political and social affairs of countries around the world. The self-proclaimed agnostic, Soros disputes Israel's right to exist as the Jewish State but exploits the religion he was born into as a tactic to shield him from criticism. For the past four decades, Soros has been using his multibillion-dollar, political-philanthropic global network to impose his Weltanschauung on the world.By 1993, Soros was heralded as The Man Who Broke the Bank of England. He used the praises and publicity to create a network of powerful foundations dedicated to his overriding ambition and objective to reshape the world's only constitutional democratic republic, the United States of America. By 2023 the nation's political and social landscape has changed beyond recognition. The financial speculator's enormous sums of money oiled the Democrat Party's machine that advanced his agenda that turned the American dream into a nightmare. How did he do that?
Montecito, California is in the news these days, thanks to Harry and Meghan. But, before they came to live here, there were bigger true stories. Today's guest, Kim Cantin, is the author of Where Yellow Flowers Bloom: A True Story of Hope Through Unimaginable Loss. It's a heartfelt memoir that recounts her healing journey in the midst of tragedy that gives rise to unexpected wisdom, affirming love that transcends beyond life.A natural disaster stoking tragic headlines Is the backdrop of the profound retelling of the survival of Ms. Cantin and her daughter and the search for her missing son in the wake of the loss of her husband and home.In the early hours of January 9, 2018 heavy rainfall combined with deforestation from recent wildfires caused a series of mudflows northwest of Montecito, California. The incident was responsible for 23 deaths and cost $177 million in property damage. News of the mudslide that ravaged the unsuspecting community made national headlines. Among those headlines was the tragic story of the Cantin family.Before the devastating slide reached their home, Kim and Dave Cantin, along with their children, Jack and Lauren, tried to escape in the middle of the night with their beloved dog. Separated during the impact, their fates were now out of their control. After waking up half buried in a pile of mud, boulders and debris that carried her away from where her home once stood, Kim Cantin was all alone, unaware if any of her family had survived.... To find out the rest of the story, tune in.
Repeating this show today as former President Trump is being illegally and unconstitutionally arraigned - Can we still get justice in a world where Guilt or Innocence is decided in the court of public opinion before the actual courtroom trial has even begun? Today's guest, Doug Bremner, M.D., a Forensic Psychiatrist, is co-author of the new bestseller, Justice in the Age of Judgement: From Amanda Knox to Kyle Rittenhouse and the Battle for Due Process in the Digital Age. Have you been noticing how much public opinion has been growing - for or against defendants - with mobs outside courtrooms and inside social media? Have you wondered how much these activists have affected the eventual verdict of high profile cases? Can juries be objective anymore when they have to pass by throngs of threatening protesters? Justice in the Age of Judgment looks at these issues as they relate to high profile murder trials - from Amanda Knox to OJ Simpson, Derek Chauvin, Kyle Rittenhouse, Casey Anthony, Michael Jackson and many more. It is an unparalleled and unflinching look at the captivating cases tried on Twitter and TV, where the burden of proof and fundamental legal tenet of “innocent until proven guilty” is under assault from the court of public opinion.Anne Bremner, JD is the other co-author - making a perfect team her brother, Doug - to analyze this issue.
America on the brink of Civil War? How could this be? It's almost too surreal and scary to think about! Isn't the Civil War something that happened in the history books? Why hasn't America learned from the bloodshed that went on back then? Then it was the North vs. the South, but today it's the Left vs. the Right... and the Left are the ones who are provoking it. How? Why? What can we do to stop it? These are the urgent questions that today's guest, Robert Spencer, will answer. He's warned us about it in his most recent book entitled, The Sumter Gambit: How the Left is Trying to Foment a Civil War. And whether you're on the Left or the Right, you will want to know what's coming - because just like the original Civil War tore America to pieces, literally, another one, at this time in history, would be even worse. What is the Sumter Gambit? It’s the concerted effort by the Left to push the most extreme policies and ideologies into American public life, while simultaneously labeling any opposition to their overreach as treason.While this strategy has been developed for decades, only since the Trump years has it become their central organizing principle and, indeed, the only governing strategy of the Democratic party. Critical Race Theory in schools, extreme gun control and abortion laws, Covid lockdowns and mandates–and all that is just the beginning.The purpose of it all is to push non-Leftist Americans into an impossible corner–where they are forced to choose between giving up their liberty and their most dearly-held principles; going to jail; or fighting back. When the last becomes the only choice, the Left plans to unleash the entire might of the Military-Industrial Complex to defeat and destroy any vestiges of dissent. They’ll have to do it, they’ll say, to protect us from an “insurrection.”There is no doubt that America is suffering from grave crises today. Here the noted political analyst, Islam expert, and historian Robert Spencer shows just how severe those crises are–and points the way back from the brink of civil war to political, societal, and cultural sanity.
To some people, Derrick Evans is an enigma: how can someone be a part of the Jan. 6th riots, be convicted, apologize and then run for Congress? There's no question that he was there at the January 6th, 2021 Capitol riot - he live-streamed himself on Facebook Live shouting such things as, We're taking this country back whether you like it or not.... Patriots stand up! He was one of the more prominent defendants and he faced more serious charges because he was considered a leader, as he had been a West Virginia state legislator at the time. He pleaded guilty to a felony civil disorder charge and was sentenced to 90 days in jail. He is now out and more committed than ever to saving America. Will his role in the Jan. 6th riots help him get elected - or hurt him? What was the riot really like? It's not the narrative that the mainstream media has been feeding us. Now that we have seen some of the previously hidden video, we know it's not what they've been trying to sell us as the truth!
Due to current events where the Democrats' narrative of Jan. 6 is being exposed and proven to be a LIE - here is an encore of a prior podcast that already told you just that!The events of January 6th, the 'trespassing' of the Capitol to protest a fraudulent election, has been the banner cry of Biden supporters and Trump haters - but they have been telling you LIES from the beginning - and continue to perpetuate these lies with the Congressional January 6th committee hearings. This is a desperate attempt to turn half the country against the other half, and to hide election fraud so that they can continue to perpetuate it at mid-terms and future elections. They are stealing democracy and freedom away from Americans!Fortunately, two bold men - today's guests - have created a film to tell the REAL story. It is shocking that this could happen in America, but you won't have any doubts once you see it. Meanwhile, you can hear what Director Chris Burgard and Producer Nick Searcy have to say, on this episode of Dr. Carole's Couch.
Dr. Vladimir 'Zev' Zelenko was the wisest, bravest and most humble physician of the 21st century. He risked everything to stand up to the medical establishment, politicians, and sheep (people who were afraid to think for themselves when it came to deciding how to protect against Covid19 and how to treat it if they got it). Dr. Carole had the honor of interviewing Dr. Zelenko on an previous episode of Dr. Carole's Couch. (You can find it in the Archives.) Unfortunately, Dr. Zelenko passed away (NOT from Covid19) in 2022, but today's guest is his 'ghost' so to speak. Brent Hamachek is the co-author of ZELENKO: How To Decapitate The Serpent. This book is the story of Dr. Vladimir “Zev” Zelenko’s rise from a modest family physician to an internationally recognized champion for medical freedom. This final memoir gives the reader a chance to know Zev as a person as you journey with him through the COVID storm. Dr. Z. also makes his arguments as to why the COVID virus was manmade, why it was treatable from the outset, and why the “vaccine” should be avoided, especially by children. Taken from over 60 hours of interviews and containing numerous research citations, this book reads like part biography, part research paper, and part thriller.
For the 1 year Anniversary of Putin's Invasion of Ukraine-here's a replay of this episode-just as relevant today as it was:Today's guest, Rebekah Koffler, is a Russian-born American, who became devoted to helping American intelligence since 9/11. She's the author of PUTIN'S PLAYBOOK: Russia's Secret Plan to Defeat America - a book that's a must-read for every American who cares about the future of America - which is more at risk than we realize. While Americans are nonchalantly sipping lattes and believing the lies much of the media feeds us - either out of their ignorance or self-serving intentions, Russia is continuing on its secret plans to defeat us. We know something about the danger they pose as a nuclear power, but we're clueless about what Russia has already been doing as an 'inside-job' to destroy us. School children should be reading this book instead of learning CRT and why-being-trans-is-better-than-the-sex-you're-born as. This book predicted what's happening now in Ukraine, and what Russia has in the works. The previous show of March 8, 2022 (and repeated on March 15, 2022), Biden & Putin & Ukraine-Russia War on My Couch is a great companion piece to today's show. In the previous show, Dr. Carole psychoanalyzes Putin. In today's show Ms. Koffler analyzes Putin in the context of the Russian mindset and history.
Bryan Kohberger finally has a woman who isn't rejecting him. Indeed, Brittney Hislope declares that she is lovesick for him and sends him love letters and sexy photos. But, Bryan wasn't her first prison romance. Her first love was Cody Hall, in prison in Kentucky, after being convicted of a deadly 2017 shooting and machete attack. Brittney was just as lovesick for Cody as she now claims to be for Bryan. She sent Cody love letters and visited him until Cody realized that she was too over the top, even for a man facing 23 lonely years in prison. Today's guest, Donna Hubbard, Cody's mom, courageously steps forward to tell the true story of Brittney's obsession with her son. Donna wrote, My son was convicted of murder, something I’m not proud of, but it is what it is. She became obsessed with him. Showed up at his court hearings, went to the jail, put money on his books. He was gonna play her along for commissary, again not proud, but she showed up for a visit one day and told him she loved him more than she loved her own child. That was finally when my son said enough. She would not stop. I finally recorded a video of him telling her he wanted nothing to do with her because when I told her she said I was a liar. After watching the video, she claimed the jail and me made him record it. She definitely has mental health issues and extreme narcissism.” Donna is a strong mental health advocate and states that the system failed her son. If they hadn't let him fall through the cracks, he wouldn't be in prison today. Dr. Carole wrote an open-letter to Brittney, after being asked by Newsweek to address her obsession with Bryan Kohberger. Dr. Carole's bestselling award-winning book, Bad Boys: Why We Love Them, How to Live with Them and When to Leave Them, has a chapter on The Lethal Lover, which explains the phenomenon of women falling in love with men in prison.
This episode first aired in 2019, but it fits for this year's Valentine's Day, too. Valentine’s Day: Dr. Carole explains how it is different from all other Valentine’s Days - and why the forecast for romance is cloudy with a chance of rain. It’s a perfect storm of: the #MeToo movement dampening men’s libido, political affiliations overtaking dating apps, and her gallery of Bad Boys and Bad Girls (as described in her two award-winning/bestselling books of the same titles). Dr. Carole tells you everything you want to know about sex and love that you were afraid to ask, and helps you avoid heartbreak on Valentine’s Day and every day.
Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is a fragile thing and it’s never more thanone generation away from extinction.” Ever since the 2020 election was stolen from President Trump, the White House (Obama, Biden and Kamala) have been driving America into destruction - like a runaway train. Our freedom is hanging by a thread and it will take each and every one of us to do something to hold onto it. Fortunately, there are some special people, like today’s guest, Christina Bobb, who is helping us fight like hell. She currently serves as attorney for Donald J. Trump. Her new book, Stealing Your Vote: The Inside Story of The 2020 Election and What It Means for 2024, takes us behind the scenes and exposes what really went on in the backrooms of polling places, legislatures, Congress and more. By breaking down the crimes that were committed by both Democrat and Republican politicians, woke leftist activists, and people who don’t realize that the Democratic party is not what it used to be, Ms. Bobb provides us with a blueprint for how we can and must save 2024. The Washington D.C. swamp lied, cheated and stole, to make it seem like Biden won, a man with encroaching dementia. We can’t let them pull the wool over our eyes again to sell out our country to socialism and the global elite . They were, and still are terrified of President Trump because they know Trump is wise to them and would continue to make America Great Again, Again!
This is an encore of a previously recorded show that is worth repeating given what we now know about Harry and Meghan, and their lies....Beloved Queen Elizabeth II died on September 8, 2022 - and sent the world into a tizzy! You will hear how the Queen died of a broken heart and how Dr. Carole knows this - even before the autopsy results are in. You will also hear what caused it. Queen Elizabeth's death has affected the world - sending many into mourning. We admire her ability to keep her people safe for over 70 years, through World War, terrorism, Covid19, and countless other dangers. But, she isn't only missed for her cleverness and devotion, she's missed for her bright smile and sense of humor - on display in the video with Paddington Bear for her Platinum Jubilee. We miss her like she was our 'granny'. Now, even before she's buried, the world has gone mad. There are family struggles laid bare. Fortunately, Meghan Markle, the last person the Queen wanted to see, was kept away from her death bed. But, Meghan has not left England and is, in fact, bringing her children over for the funeral - in order to steal more of the limelight. King Charles III is encouraging the 'fab four', Meghan, Harry, William and Kate, to make a show of burying the hatchet, though it cannot be buried for long with Harry's tell-all book due out before Christmas! Even if Harry wanted to bury the book instead, it would be nearly impossible - not with the Publisher having sunk millions into it, and Meghan having sunk her hopes for vindication and more attention into it. King Charles made a lovely speech, but it contained hidden meanings, and though he claims that, as King over all British people, he will not promote his prior causes, he seems to have gone back on this already - by asking for foreign dignitaries to only use transportation that saves the environment (one of his causes celebre.)And the madness has gone 'round the world. A professor from Carnegie Mellon University (and some other racists) have taken this opportunity to shout mean words and rejoice at the Queen's death. Others shout, 'Down with the Monarchy!' and see this as an opportunity for mob rule. When Queen Elizabeth was alive, there was a sense that 'all was right with the world'. Now, with the world in a tizzy, we see just how much her calm kept it together. Dr. Carole is an Anglophile, having lived and studied in London, and for many other connections to the Royal Family.
Dr. Carole puts on her Forensic Psychiatrist and Trial Expert Witness hat to analyze Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in the murders of the four Idaho students. She was the first one to describe him as an Incel (Involuntary Celibate) and points out things we've learned about him that supports this 'diagnosis'.
As we start 2023, we could all use a bit inspiration to help us follow the life path we dream of, despite what obstacles lay before us. Today's guest is a stellar example of someone who is doing just that! Jennifer Sey, author of Levi's Unbuttoned: The Woke Mob Took My Job but Gave Me My Voice, shares her inspiring story. Jennifer Sey was on track to become the first woman CEO of Levi Strauss & Co. As the President of the Levi's brand, she was widely celebrated as a versatile and inspirational leader who had helped save the iconic brand from bankruptcy. Formerly a self-described left of left of center progressive, she was beloved as the embodiment of the company's profits through principles ethos.But everything changed when Sey publicly opposed the closure of San Francisco's public schools at the height of the pandemic. In response to her 'wrongthink,' management gave her a choice: shut up or leave. She decided that defending at-risk children was more important than the job that she loved, and so she resigned. After more than two decades at the company, she gave up her professional future to retain her voice.In Levi's Unbuttoned, Sey recounts her remarkable journey from U.S. National Gymnastics champion through her rise the corporate ladder at Levi's. As the highest profile executive to fall victim to the cancel culture engulfing America, her story is an inspiration for all those who, in these difficult times, feel pressured to remain silent on their most fundamental beliefs.The more Americans who stand up to woke-ism, the better chance we have at creating a truly equitable and inclusive society. Principles and integrity matter. Ultimately, they matter more than anything else.
With Congress pushing the envelope to put Trump in jail so he can't run for President-This episode needs to be heard again! You've been told that anyone who questions the validity of the 2020 Election is a liar, crazy, an anarchist and even a terrorist! But, today's guests are none of the above. They have refused to give up questioning the results - and it has been well worth it, because they have found evidence of massive election fraud! Leah Hoopes and Gregory Stenstrom are the authors of a new book entitled, THE PARALLEL ELECTION: A Blueprint for Deception and Evidence of Massive Election Fraud in Delaware County, Pennsylvania in the November 2020 Election.Whether you voted for Trump and were shocked the next morning when you were told he didn't win, despite his lead when you went to sleep - or whether you voted for Biden - we all need honest elections for America to survive!Mrs. Hoopes, and Mr. Stenstrom, are plaintiffs in the only remaining election fraud cases in Pennsylvania from the November 2020 general election, and were previously best known for their testimony in Gettysburg, PA, which was viewed by millions of people worldwide. Initially viciously quashed, sued and sanctioned for challenging the most secure election in history, they fought back, and overcame overwhelming odds to successfully expose the massive election fraud they witnessed.
There is no question that schools are upside down these days - from what kids are being taught to why school administrators prefer to protect dangerous kids rather than their victims. This is happening in schools all over America. Today's guest, Jarred Weisfeld, tells you of his own personal experiences with his child's school - from how a classmate who brought a boxcutter to school (the same weapon the 9/11 hijackers used) was kept in class even after he assaulted a child --- to what happened when he offered to donate money to help fund a pilot program that would empower teachers to use an app to quickly summon police when there was an active shooter. Now what could be wrong with that? But, administrators said, No! and blamed it on Equity - whatever that is.... Mr. Weisfeld is the CEO of Objective Entertainment, a full-service literary agency, the President of Start Publishing, and the head of a publishing empire. His stellar credits also include TV, music, and film. Hear about how dangerous schools have become, and why the danger is increasing. Something has got to be done!
Are you lonely? More people than ever are lonely these days - we've been scared to death by reports about Covid19 and made to lock ourselves up during lock-downs. And, have you noticed, it's taking longer than you might have expected to come out of your cocoon and feel comfortable socializing again. There's an even greater danger lurking than loneliness itself, as today's guest will explain. Stella Morabito is the author of The Weaponization of Loneliness: How Tyrants Stoke Our Fear of Isolation to Silence, Divide and Conquer. Ms. Morabito, who served as an analyst at the CIA, explains how the merchants of loneliness—power elites in Big Tech, Big Media, Big Government, academia, Hollywood, and the corporate world— exploit our terror of social isolation.Do you keep your opinions to yourself because you’re afraid people will reject you? Do you sign on to a cause just because everyone around you acts like it’s the right thing to do?This is an example of The Weaponization of Loneliness at work. Tyrants of all stripes want to tell you what to believe and how to live your life. They get away with it by using the most potent weapon at their disposal: your fear of ostracism. Ms. Morabito explains how dictators—from the French Revolution to the Communist Party of China to today’s globalists—aim to atomize us in order to control us. We fall for it because our need to connect with others and our fear of social rejection are so hardwired that they trigger our conformity impulse. These dynamics can even cause us to comply with evil orders. But, there is hope... as you will hear.
In a shocking new development, Chinese people have taken to the streets to protest against the draconian laws that the Chinese Communist Party and Xi Jinping have enacted in order to try to achieve Zero-Covid - which is probably impossible! A recent fire, in which people died because the dwelling was locked down, sparked the unrest and anger, that has been building for a long time, causing these repressed emotions to flare up into a powerful blaze. Today's guest, Nan Su, is a senior investigative reporter for the Epoch Times, with an eye and focus on Chinese politics and government deception. It is ironic that the coronavirus leak from the Wuhan lab, meant to be used eventually as a bioweapon, may cause the demise of the CCP. Whoever thought we'd see signs like Down with Xi JinPing! and Down with the CCP, but these brave citizens are risking their lives to make a run for democracy!
Can we still get justice in a world where Guilt or Innocence is decided in the court of public opinion before the actual courtroom trial has even begun? Today's guest, Doug Bremner, M.D., a Forensic Psychiatrist, is co-author of the new bestseller, Justice in the Age of Judgement: From Amanda Knox to Kyle Rittenhouse and the Battle for Due Process in the Digital Age. Have you been noticing how much public opinion has been growing - for or against defendants - with mobs outside courtrooms and inside social media? Have you wondered how much these activists have affected the eventual verdict of high profile cases? Can juries be objective anymore when they have to pass by throngs of threatening protesters? Justice in the Age of Judgment looks at these issues as they relate to high profile murder trials - from Amanda Knox to OJ Simpson, Derek Chauvin, Kyle Rittenhouse, Casey Anthony, Michael Jackson and many more. It is an unparalleled and unflinching look at the captivating cases tried on Twitter and TV, where the burden of proof and fundamental legal tenet of “innocent until proven guilty” is under assault from the court of public opinion. Anne Bremner, JD is the other co-author - making a perfect team her brother, Doug - to analyze this issue.
Today's guest, A.J. Rice, is the author of the new bestseller, The Woking Dead: How Society's Vogue Virus Destroys Our Culture. It is a book that should be required reading for all high school and college students, and encouraged for everyone else. It may be the only thing that stands between American freedom drowning in a sea of woke cancel culture and becoming a totalitarian Marxist state. Americans are asleep at the switch - too dazed or to afraid to open our eyes to the insidious destruction of all our institutions and everything that made America great. It is a life raft that explains what has been engulfing our country and we need to grab onto it while there's any shred of hope to be had. It tells it like it is - and we need to hear it!
America is more divided than ever this Election Day - Midterms 2022. And no matter who wins - donkeys or elephants - our country could be turned into a zoo! But, the best cure for divisiveness is humor and playing The Game could well bring friends and families back together. Today's guest, Jay Ellis, is the founder and CEO of Election Fun Board Games. Through political parody and hilarious no-holds barred” jabs, Election 2020, You Decide, also called The Game”, breaks through left-leaning cancel culture to entertain alongside partners with shared conservative values. Using safe QR codes and patented technology, players are split into two sides: Republicans vs. Democrats. Players move elephant and donkey game pieces in a mock Road to 270” by drawing cards, answering questions and accumulating enough electoral votes to advance to the Inside Game”.

The Game” is brought to you by Election Fun Network (EFN), a revolutionary news-based content platform that celebrates patriots and American-made products.

If you’ve been paying attention - from the very beginning - to the story of the attack on Paul Pelosi, you know that the facts keep changing as time goes on and Nancy Pelosi has had a chance to ‘launder' it! The attacker, David DePape, a mentally ill man, is in custody. Paul is in the hospital, after having undergone surgery for a skull fracture. Of course, sympathy and get well wishes go out to Paul. He has enough problems, being married to Nancy. But, what should alarm all of us - Republicans and Democrats alike - is how the police, some mainstream media and other so-called authorities, are turning somersaults to erase any of the earlier mentions of Paul in his underwear, and other potentially embarrassing facts. However, they couldn’t erase the 911 call that already is online, and the original police press conference - and Dr. Carole has heard and seen it all. She will point out the discrepancies in the various stories and how we are being sold a bill of goods. In today’s show, Dr. Carole, a Forensic Psychiatrist and Expert Witness, analyzes the mental state of the attacker, David DePape, talks about the obvious laundering of the facts, and why whether Paul Pelosi is gay is NOT the issue. The most important issue is how today - in these critical times for America - people are still buying what some of the mainstream media is selling - rather than using their own eyes and ears. This is especially important as we head towards voting in midterms.
According to legend, Halloween began as the night when spirits of the dead hunt for bodies to possess. In order to avoid becoming possessed, people left out food or wore disguises, and this turned into our current custom of trick-or-treat. It is no wonder then, that real life crimes increase on this night, and demons come out in force. Today's guest, Lisa Collier Cool, is the author of the bestselling book, Deliver Us From Evil, which became a major motion picture. It is based upon the investigations of haunted houses and cases of demonic possession of her co-author, Ralph Sarchie, a New York City police Sergeant who moonlights as a demonologist. The book begins with one of the spookiest cases, the case of the Halloween Horror. Ms. Collier Cool is the bestselling author of six books and winner of 19 journalism awards, after writing more than one million words for America's leading magazines, newspapers and websites.
The events of January 6th, the 'trespassing' of the Capitol to protest a fraudulent election, has been the banner cry of Biden supporters and Trump haters - but they have been telling you LIES from the beginning - and continue to perpetuate these lies with the Congressional January 6th committee hearings. This is a desperate attempt to turn half the country against the other half, and to hide election fraud so that they can continue to perpetuate it at mid-terms and future elections. They are stealing democracy and freedom away from Americans! Fortunately, two bold men - today's guests - have created a film to tell the REAL story. It is shocking that this could happen in America, but you won't have any doubts once you see it. Meanwhile, you can hear what Director Chris Burgard and Producer Nick Searcy have to say, on this episode of Dr. Carole's Couch.

Since the Alec Baldwin case is FINALLY heating up-here's an episode you shouldn't miss! Two recent headlines are stark reminders of why one should never play fast and loose with guns. On the movie set of the western Rust, actor Alec Baldwin picked up a prop gun, pulled the trigger and accidentally killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded the film's director, Joel Souza. Baldwin had been told the gun was cold, meaning it had no ammunition, but it was loaded with a live round. There had already been many problems on the set and there is enough blame to go around.... Then, in the Kenosha, Wisconsin courtroom, where the jury in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse was hearing closing arguments, the prosecutor, Thomas Binger, picked up a real gun - the one Kyle allegedly used - and swung it around the courtroom. If it weren't for the judge insisting upon a detective double checking that the gun wasn't loaded, Binger's 'Alec Baldwin moment' could have ended in death and injury, as well. Today's guest, Steve Wolf, is an expert on guns, movie sets and courtrooms! He will narrow in on who's to blame on the set of Rust and will critique how the gun was handled in court - and what should have happened in both of these scenarios.
Melisa Schonfield was a successful psychotherapist and a respected pillar of her community, who had never been in trouble.

The hit man she attempted to hire turned out to be an undercover cop. Melisa spent more than three years in prison. When my grandson was five days old, my daughter's boyfriend threatened to punch him if he didn't stop crying, she says. He [the boyfriend] never got into trouble because he fooled the police. Melisa can share the details of her harrowing journey, and how the justice system failed her. She is the author of Bitter or Better: The Melisa Schonfield Story.

FOR THE 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF OBAMA-BIDEN WHITE HOUSE DEPLORABLE PULLOUT FROM AFGHANISTAN! Scott DeLuzio and his brother Steven were deployed by the Army National Guard to Afghanistan in 2010. Both were fighting just miles away from each other on August 22, 2010, when Scott was told Steven had just been killed. Moments later, Scott was thrust into battle against the Taliban, who had just taken his brother’s life. SURVIVING SON: An Afghanistan War Veteran Reveals His Nightmare of Becoming a Gold Star Brother is the true-life story of Scott and Steven DeLuzio. Scott DeLuzio takes you on a journey from his Connecticut upper-middle-class childhood to his call to service after 9/11. With college degrees and a bright future ahead of them, these brothers left the safety of suburban life to fight on the front lines in Afghanistan. In SURVIVING SON, DeLuzio explores the hostile war zone and the soldiers experience engaging in combat with the Taliban. He describes what it was like to be a soldier and the raw emotion he felt when learning of his brother’s death. He vividly reveals how he continued to struggle with PTSD from the stresses of combat, the loss of his only sibling, and the transition to civilian life. Scott’s homecoming was not the hero’s welcome he deserved. By telling his story, Scott hopes to reach out to those veterans still struggling with the impact of war. His message is one of hopefulness that can potentially reverse the stigma that often accompanies those who seek mental health treatment. Especially timely with the withdrawal of troops in Afghanistan, Scott opens up about U.S. withdrawal from the region. “I believe that every service member who took part in the war did what was needed to keep Americans safe at home by taking the fight to the enemy.”
If a 9/11 Museum fell in America, would it make a sound? Most Americans would say 'yes', yet the 9/11 Tribute Museum recently closed its doors and there has been barely more than a sigh! This will be looked upon eventually, as the beginning of the end of America's freedom from terrorism. The Museum experienced a shortfall in funding because of the pandemic making visitors hesitant to go out into crowds. But, why didn't more people donate to keep it open? Why didn't the New York State government or the Federal government devote a portion of taxes to keep it open? We live in a state of denial - not wanting to acknowledge that Radical Islamist terrorists are still out to take over the West, and make us all live under Sharia law.
Today's guest, Brian McDonald, IS one who sighed and took the closing of the Tribute Museum as gravely as it should be taken. He's the author of the soon-to-be-released book, Five Floors Up: The Heroic Family Story of Four Generations in the FDNY. It highlights the heroic history of the New York City Fire Department told from the perspective of the Feehan family, who served in the FDNY for four generations and counting.

Today's guest, A.J. Rice, is the author of the new bestseller, The Woking Dead: How Society's Vogue Virus Destroys Our Culture. It is a book that should be required reading for all high school and college students, and encouraged for everyone else. It may be the only thing that stands between American freedom drowning in a sea of woke cancel culture and becoming a totalitarian Marxist state. Americans are asleep at the switch - too dazed or to afraid to open our eyes to the insidious destruction of all our institutions and everything that made America great. It is a life raft that explains what has been engulfing our country and we need to grab onto it while there's any shred of hope to be had. It tells it like it is - and we need to hear it!
Americans are being assailed by the threat of Communism - not only by our longstanding Communist enemies: China and Russia, but from within our own borders: Biden, Obama and the other Leftists they represent. Today's guest, John E. O'Neill, bestselling author, retired attorney, and Vietnam veteran, is the author of a new book entitled: The Dancer and the Devil: Stalin, Pavlova, and the Road to the Great Pandemic. O'Neill says, Communism must kill what it cannot control. So, for a century, it has killed artists, writers, musicians, and even dancers. It kills them secretly, using bioweapons and poison to escape accountability. Indeed, Communist nations have been developing bioweapons based upon the genetic makeup of their intended victims. With the shocking news of the FBI's raid of Former President Trump's home at Mar-A-Lago, we must also include the Left as a Communist threat. They have gradually been heading towards the day of a complete takeover - from exploiting the economic downturn of Covid19 lockdowns to the planned increase of the IRS. The more Americans who are suffering financial ruin, the more willing they will be to embrace a Communist hand-out economy and become slaves to the World Economic Forum.
You heard it first here! Dr. Carole recorded this episode before WHO got on the bandwagon and before Monkeypox made headlines like it is doing today! “We suspected this would happen: no sooner does the world seem to be getting over Covid19… than a new reason to spread fear would arise to keep the Big Brother mandates coming - and here it is: MonkeyPox! Just in time to call for lockdowns, masks, vaccines and - most importantly - mail-in ballots!” warns Carole Lieberman, M.D., M.P.H.. Dr. Carole She also has unique experience as a monkey researcher - having studied the impact of maternal deprivation on monkeys which contributed to our understanding of families in the field of mental health. Dr. Carole will answer such questions as: -What is Monkeypox? and how dangerous is it? -Will this lead to mass hysteria like Covid19 did? -What are the symptoms and treatments? -Isn’t Monkeypox usually found in Africa? Why is it suddenly spreading worldwide - including in the U.S.? -How does a contagious disease spread fear that makes us more susceptible to giving up control to authorities? -Why do you say it’s just the next excuse for lockdowns, masks, vaccines and mail-in ballots? -Is there anything we can do to protect ourselves from getting Monkeypox? -What was your research with monkeys - and what benefits did it provide to the field of mental health?
Michelle Obama has repeatedly denied that she would run for President. But, doth the lady protest too much? Today's guest, Joel Gilbert, says, Yes! He is the author of Michelle Obama 2024: Her Real Story and Plan for Power, and the director of the documentary Michelle Obama 2024. His deep dive into who she really is reveals that she's NOT who she pretends to be. She has pulled the wool over our eyes for years - but not any longer when you hear what he has discovered! If she wins in 2024, Gilbert predicts Michelle will take orders from global elites...and chaos and the destruction of America will follow. So, hopefully, his book and documentary will stop her Presidential aspirations in their tracks. Be one of the first to know!
Do we have to accept mass shootings as simply a part of life - like Covid19? NO! There are ways to stop the shooters before they create tragedy in our schools, grocery stores, parades, churches - all the places that are foundations of America and where Americans used to feel safe. Today, Dr. Carole puts on her Forensic Psychiatrist/Expert Witness hat and analyzes some of our recent mass shooters. Bobby Crimo III, the July 4th Highland Park parade shooter, waved countless red flags - but nobody was paying attention. Nikolas Cruz, now in court for a trial to determine if he lives or dies, also waved red flags that people pretended not to see. Hear their stories and find out what should be done to prevent future mass shootings. The answer is not banning guns!
Dr. Carole puts on her Forensic Psychiatrist/Expert Witness hat and analyzes the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard defamation trial. Dr. Carole works as a forensic psychiatrist/expert witness, and has done so in hundreds of civil and criminal trials. She also works as a trial analyst for the media. She turns now to this current trial, being covered gavel to gavel on Court TV, and explains the issues involved: what is domestic violence? Who is Johnny Depp and what role does his childhood abuse by his mother play in his being attracted to an abusive woman, namely Amber Heard? What is Amber Heard’s diagnosis (borderline personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder, PTSD?) and what role does this play in their relationship? What are the positives and negatives of the testimony given by Dr. Shannon Curry, a forensic psychologist retained by Johnny’s attorneys to diagnose Amber? Who is more believable: Johnny Depp or Amber Heard? How are the attorneys doing - which ones are more likable? What about the human feces left on Johnny’s bed? What about Amber’s claims that she hid the bruises Johnny inflicted upon her with makeup - that wasn’t yet available at that time? What is the impact of Amber’s Washington Post column on Johnny’s career, his mental state, his future? What about the motion for summary judgment that Amber’s team made today? What will the ultimate verdict be? What will be the impact on the lives of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard after the trial is over?
Why are we sitting back and allowing our country to be dissed and destroyed by haters? Growing divisiveness in this country has never been as shockingly displayed as on this past July 4th weekend, when individuals and institutions - from NPR to NYT to PBS to National Geographic to a Congresswoman - trashed American symbols and America, itself! This was very demoralizing, depressing and distressing to the majority of Americans and to the troops watching and listening to the weekend festivities celebrating America’s Birthday. But, even worse is what it says about the boundless attack on traditional values. Dr. Carole describes examples of these attacks and what impact they are having on our nation. She also quotes excerpts from Aaron Lewis’ new song, “Am I The Only One,” which describes his despair and hope for America to be saved. (This is an encore show from from July 2021).
We worry that Russia's invasion of Ukraine is the first act of World War III. But, this is just one Massive Attack of Disruption that is threatening our survival. Today's guest, Harlan Ullman, is the author of The Fifth Horseman and the New MAD: How Massive Attacks of Disruption Became the Looming Existential Danger to a Divided Nation and the World at Large. He says, The new MAD, Massive Attacks of Disruption—and not China or Russia—are the most immediate and greatest dangers to the nation. But no one has recognized and thus acted to contain and prevent these potentially existential threats that, if left unchecked, will bring ruin to America and much of the planet.
If you think there's a secret plan afoot by some in power, hiding in darkness to manipulate society in order to steal riches and create a subservient population... you are right! Call them the Globalist Elites, the World Economic Forum, or simply Evildoers... today's guest is fighting the good fight against them and wants to help you do it, too. Today's guest, Brandon Smith, is the Founder of Alt-Market. The Alternative Market Project is how Brandon educates the public on facts, evidence and philosophies that the mainstream establishment refuses to discuss in an honest way. But beyond that, Brandon’s Alt-Market focuses on SOLUTIONS, not just threat analysis. His Newsletter, The Wild Bunch Dispatch, covers concepts and tactics for defeating globalism which is advancing quickly - from controlling your money to controlling your children. He states, The Wild Bunch is a place to explore subjects and solutions to centralized tyranny which are rarely if ever covered by the rest of the alternative media. For example, Brandon writes about: What is the bare minimum you would need to defend yourself against armed aggressors trying to take your supplies or invade your neighborhood or town? What specific gear do you HAVE TO have in order to survive and how long will that gear last you? Brandon writes, Consider this frightening prospect for a moment – Globalists control central banks and money creation, therefore they have almost infinite funding at their disposal. They have puppet politicians in every major government on the planet. They have tentacles in every facet of the mainstream media and are seeking ways to undermine the alternative media today. And, they have dozens of think tank institutions which are constantly war-gaming faster and better ways of hijacking even more power and eroding your individual rights until there is nothing left. Brandon writes, Crushing rebellions and insurgencies is a bit of an obsession for globalist think tanks. From DARPA to RAND Corporation and the Council On Foreign Relations, billions of dollars and thousands of man hours have been spent seeking out more effective ways to stop the citizenry from acting independently from government or the central bank controlled economy. The bulk of the strategies that these think tanks develop depend on the use of national emergency measures, or martial law measure in the event of a real or fabricated disaster. And so much more....
Today's guest, Naomi Wolf, is the author of The Bodies of Others: The New Authoritarians, Covid-19 and the War Against the Human. Wolf is co-founder and CEO of DailyClout.io, a successful civic tech company. The Bodies of Others is about how we came to the harrowing civilizational crossroads at which we find ourselves - engaged in a war against vast impersonal forces with limitless power over our lives and which threaten the freedoms we have always taken for granted. In her most provocative book yet, Dr. Naomi Wolf shows how these forces -- from Big Tech and Big Pharma to the CCP and our oligarchical elites -- seized upon two years of COVID-19 panic in sinister new ways, to not only undermine our Republic but to fundamentally reorient human relations. Their target is humanity itself. Their end goal is to ensure that our pre-March 2020 world is gone forever. Irretrievable. To be replaced with a world in which all human endeavor-all human joy, all human fellowship, all human advancement, all human culture, all human song, all human drama, all worship, all surprise, all flirtation, all celebration-is behind a digital paywall. A world in which we will all have to ask technology's permission to be human. But we, the people of the world, did not vote to abandon our old systems and destroy our old ways so absolutely they could never be recovered. And Wolf shows how, against overwhelming odds, we still might win.
Today’s esteemed guests take us deep into the D.C. Swamp and reveal different aspects of how the media’s lies are hurting the American public. First, John O’Connor, as the attorney who represented Deep Throat, revisits Watergate. He is the author of Postgate: How the Washington Post Betrayed Deep Throat, Covered Up Watergate, and Began Today’s Partisan Advocacy Journalism. He demonstrates how the media coverage of this case started journalism down the slippery slope to where it is now, by taking us to today’s headlines: Durham indictment is bad news for mainstream media on Steele dossier reporting.
Next, Peter Navarro, former assistant to President Trump, and author of the new bestseller, In Trump Time: A Journal of America’s Plague Years, takes us inside the White House to where Fauci’s lies began taking their toll on Americans’ health. He describes in chilling detail how sociopathic Fauci withheld, from President Trump, crucial details of what he knew about the Wuhan lab, causing millions to die. The only conclusion one can reach is that Fauci needs to be arrested.
Police are in the news every day - sometimes for heroic deeds and sometimes being blamed for problems in the street. Today's guest, Dennis Zine, an award-winning police officer with over 50 years on the Los Angeles Police force, has seen it all. He rose to the rank of Sergeant II and is still on the streets as a Reserve officer. He takes us behind the scenes to talk about everything you wanted to know about the police - from why crime has risen, what this means for police officers, why police stood back at the school shooting in Texas and what protocol is supposed to be, how defunding the police and protests against police have affected the morale of officers, caused many to leave the force and others to commit suicide, what officer involved shootings are really about, etc. etc.
“We suspected this would happen: no sooner does the world seem to be getting over Covid19… than a new reason to spread fear would arise to keep the Big Brother mandates coming - and here it is: MonkeyPox! Just in time to call for lockdowns, masks, vaccines and - most importantly - mail-in ballots!” warns Carole Lieberman, M.D., M.P.H.. Dr. Carole She also has unique experience as a monkey researcher - having studied the impact of maternal deprivation on monkeys which contributed to our understanding of families in the field of mental health. Dr. Carole will answer such questions as: -What is Monkeypox? and how dangerous is it? -Will this lead to mass hysteria like Covid19 did? -What are the symptoms and treatments? -Isn’t Monkeypox usually found in Africa? Why is it suddenly spreading worldwide - including in the U.S.? -How does a contagious disease spread fear that makes us more susceptible to giving up control to authorities? -Why do you say it’s just the next excuse for lockdowns, masks, vaccines and mail-in ballots? -Is there anything we can do to protect ourselves from getting Monkeypox? -What was your research with monkeys - and what benefits did it provide to the field of mental health?
The two biggest stories of the day are the Defamation Trial of Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard and the Buffalo, New York shooter, Payton Gendron. As a forensic psychiatrist and expert witness, Dr. Carole analyzes both of these stories for you.
Two recent headlines are stark reminders of why one should never play fast and loose with guns. On the movie set of the western Rust, actor Alec Baldwin picked up a prop gun, pulled the trigger and accidentally killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded the film's director, Joel Souza. Baldwin had been told the gun was cold, meaning it had no ammunition, but it was loaded with a live round. There had already been many problems on the set and there is enough blame to go around.... Then, in the Kenosha, Wisconsin courtroom, where the jury in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse was hearing closing arguments, the prosecutor, Thomas Binger, picked up a real gun - the one Kyle allegedly used - and swung it around the courtroom. If it weren't for the judge insisting upon a detective double checking that the gun wasn't loaded, Binger's 'Alec Baldwin moment' could have ended in death and injury, as well. Today's guest, Steve Wolf, is an expert on guns, movie sets and courtrooms! He will narrow in on who's to blame on the set of Rust and will critique how the gun was handled in court - and what should have happened in both of these scenarios.

Not just Virginia's problem-coming to a school near you, too! Would you believe that an ad - banned by network television stations in Virginia - because it is unlawful to show such sexually explicit materials - is the current reading material provided to Virginia's students? Several local TV stations refused to air Independent Women’s Voice’s ad: “Worth 1,000 Words”, depicting sexually explicit materials available in VA public schools. Federal communications law prohibits televisions from showing adults such materials, even when the same materials have been available to kids in Virginia public schools. IWV accordingly created a modified version of its 30-second ad, which shows a blurred version of what kids see, to conform with that law. But today, stations again refused to air the ad, claiming it still is ostensibly not suitable for late night adult viewing. Today's guests, Kelsey Bolar and Julie Gunlock, are Senior Policy Analysts at Independent Women's Voice, an organization located in Washington, D.C. Both the first uncensored ad and the second with censored images may be viewed at ToxicSchools.org. Parents can also take action at the website and make their voices heard. Federal law prohibits TV stations from airing obscene, indecent or profane content, marketers must follow text message industry S.H.A.F.T regulations, and social media companies have similar rules in place that make it impossible to actually show the public the explicit content. Yet, when it comes to Virginia public school students, these protections are thrown out the window. In 2016, then-Governor McAuliffe vetoed a bill that would have allowed parents to block sexually explicit books in school, and in 2021 he stated that he didn’t think parents should have a say about what is imposed on their children.This is despite the specific protections Virginia law gives the rights of parents. Again, don't think this is only a problem for Virginia-it's coming to a school near you, too!
Scott Dyleski is serving life without parole in a California State Prison, while the real killer goes free. So say his attorneys, Katherine Hallinan and Sara Zalkin, who just filed a new petition in the State Court of Appeal. At age 17, he was convicted of 1st degree murder of his neighbor Pamela Vitale, while her husband, attorney Daniel Horowitz, took suspicious advantage of her death to advance his career as a TV legal commentator. Scott's heartsick mom, Esther Fielding will share her frustrations and her hopes.
Today's guest, Rebekah Koffler, is a Russian-born American, who became devoted to helping American intelligence since 9/11. She's the author of PUTIN'S PLAYBOOK: Russia's Secret Plan to Defeat America - a book that's a must-read for every American who cares about the future of America - which is more at risk than we realize. While Americans are nonchalantly sipping lattes and believing the lies much of the media feeds us - either out of their ignorance or self-serving intentions, Russia is continuing on its secret plans to defeat us. We know something about the danger they pose as a nuclear power, but we're clueless about what Russia has already been doing as an 'inside-job' to destroy us. School children should be reading this book instead of learning CRT and why-being-trans-is-better-than-the-sex-you're-born as. This book predicted what's happening now in Ukraine, and what Russia has in the works. The previous show of March 8, 2022 (and repeated on March 15, 2022), Biden & Putin & Ukraine-Russia War on My Couch is a great companion piece to today's show. In the previous show, Dr. Carole psychoanalyzes Putin. In today's show Ms. Koffler analyzes Putin in the context of the Russian mindset and history.
Schools are no longer like the Little Red Schoolhouse we read about in books. They're battlegrounds for rights these days: from political to sexual to services for special needs kids. Today's guest takes you behind the Schoolhouse doors and reveals what's really going on. She specializes in helping families with disabled or special needs kids to get the services they're entitled to, and not be trampled on. Today, she'll tell you about three of her current cases - one more shocking than the other - where kids were misunderstood and ignored, while draconian discipline was substituted for proper teaching opportunities. Piper Paul is an award-winning attorney. She is admitted to practice in both Connecticut and New York state courts, as well as federal courts, and has extensive legal experience in representing students with and without disabilities at both the secondary and post-secondary levels, as well as adults with disabilities. In today's news we hear about horrors like teachers and school boards forcing their agendas on kids, but imagine how hard these confusing battlegrounds must be for kids who have their own challenges already.
When winners of Oscars 2022 will be forgotten, Will Smith's slap of Chris Rock for his joke that insulted Will's wife, Jaden Smith, will be long remembered. There's still much controversy over this incident that stopped the Oscars cold. Was it a real slap or pre-arranged? Was it meant to be a real insult? Was Jaden insulted? Will the Academy take Smith's Oscar for Best Actor as punishment? Will he be arrested? Today's guest, Jeremy Murphy, will take you behind the scenes and reveal the answers to this and other PR nightmares. Jeremy is the snarkiest public relation agent... and proud of it. He expertly chronicles his hatred, love, indifference, amusement, and scorn for the profession in his book, F*ck Off, Chloe.

It's hard to keep up with the twists and turns in Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Today, Dr. Carole starts by taking us inside the minds of President Biden and President Putin, as she puts them on her couch. Spoiler alert: What do you get when you cross a Demented Biden with a Paranoid Putin... Nuclear war? Of course, we all hope not, but things are very tense and convoluted, not only because of these two Presidents, but also because of the other players with conflicts of interest. Want to know how to sign up for the Ukraine International Legion and go fight the Russians? You'll hear how to decide whether it's right for you. Also, how to talk to kids the war, nuclear weapons, and much more. Now Putin and friends are escalating the war - threatening nuclear war if we don't give him Alaska and a Fort in California!?! - just as I warned they would. Hear why I've been saying from day 1 that pushing Putting into a corner has been a bad strategy - because of traumatic events from his childhood! We need leaders smarter than Biden to figure out how to negotiate to stop WWIII! Please pass this on!!!

Never underestimate the shocking antics Kanye West will do! Now - unraveling because of Kim Kardashian's plans to divorce him - he's planning a trip to Russia to meet with President Putin! And you thought our problems with Russia weren't precarious enough?! Putin is playing a cat and mouse game. Can Biden stop Russia from invading Ukraine? Here to talk about this and more is today's guest: Brigadier General Peter B. Zwack (Ret) Defense Attache to Moscow 2012 – 2014. He is a Global Fellow at The Kennan Institute, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Senior Russia-Eurasia Research Fellow, National Defense University, and author of Afghanistan Kabul Kurier: One Soldier's Story of the Taliban, Tribes & Loyalties, Opium Trade, & Burqas; and Swimming the Volga: A U.S. Army Officer's Experiences in Pre-Putin Russia. BGr Zwack served in senior military positions both for Republican and Democratic Administrations (Reagan, Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump). These include Joint Chiefs of Staff, US Ambassador to Moscow, Commander of European Command and US Army Europe, commander Kosovo Force and Afghanistan (NATO) and Directors of Defense Intelligence Agency, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and Army Cyber Command. As the senior Defense Attache to Moscow in 2014, he was present when the Russians invaded Ukraine and annexed Crimea and had seen a variation of this before. So, he probably knows a lot more about Putin and Russia than Kanye! (Replay)
As the world keeps getting crazier, many people are feeling frustrated, helpless and afraid. Russia has invaded Ukraine! Prime Minister Trudeau has abolished democracy in Canada - sending out law enforcement on horseback to trample peaceful protesters and freezing bank accounts of people who donated to the protesters! Biden was supposed to do a press conference an hour ago... but he's still Missing In Action (probably still trying to find Ukraine on a map). So, what is a peace-loving, liberty-loving person to do? Today's guest, Doug Giles, author of Psalms of War: Prayers that Literally Kick Ass. Giles is the editor of ClashDaily.com, and Co-host of the Warriors And Wildmen podcast. We know that prayer -especially group prayer - heals people in a health crisis. So, although you may not have thought about prayer and Putin in the same sentence, it's worth a try.
Our society is sick - with an illness doctors didn't learn about in medical school: WOKENESS! Some doctors are doing their part by trying to 'wake' people up to the danger of being forced back to the days of segregation - and making skin color more important than what's under the skin. Other doctors are intimidated and afraid to speak out - whether it's about race or the secret sexual transformations that teachers are forcing on kids behind their parents back, making kids believe they are trans - or at least not the gender they were born with. Fortunately, today's guest, Marilyn Singleton, M.D., J.D. is one of those doctors (like Dr. Carole) who isn't afraid to speak out - and speak out she will today!
As Valentine's Day approaches - after two years of Covid19 turning the world of love, romance, dating and sex on its ear... today's guest takes us with him on the journey of his life. Mikail Sharif aka Mickey Royal, author, entrepreneur, porn film producer and more reveals everything you ever wanted to know about the dark side. He's the author of The Pimp Game: Instructional Guide, The Pimp Game: Secrets of Mind Manipulation, Along for the Ride, Pimping Ain't Easy: But Somebody's Gotta Do It, and his most controversial book: I'm Leaving You for a White Woman. The FBI (confirmed by FBI operatives and Las Vegas Police dept for the past 11 years) uses his book The Pimp Game: Instructional Guide as a textbook for agents to get into the minds and inner workings of Human Traffickers. Mickey Royal and his book The Pimp Game: Instructional Guide was featured in a National Geographic documentary about Human Trafficking. He is a former gangster, drug dealer, F.O.I., legendary pimp, paid enforcer (Italians, Russians, Mexicans below the border), pornographer and bestselling author. First detained at age 5 for attempted murder in daycare. Arrested for Attempted Murder in early 20’s in Tennessee. Attempted Murder in early 40’s in LA. Arrested In Tijuana Mexico for Narcotics Trafficking, as well as Los Angeles. And he has lived to tell about it....
Are the police going extinct? Can they be saved? How and why did they become endangered? Whose bright idea was it to 'defund the police' - especially at the same time as inmates are being let out of jails and prisons? And who you gonna call when you're being robbed? raped? murdered? or when there's the next terror attack? Today's guest, Sergeant Betsy Brantner Smith, spokesperson for the National Police Association, will answer these questions and more - like: how do the police continue to put themselves on the line every day, risking their lives when it's not just the usual criminals out to get them, but protesters, rioters and looters? This is certainly not what they signed up for when they entered the Police Academy with visions of serving and protecting their communities. How is their morale? How are they coping? What are their plans for the future?
This episode of Dr. Carole's Couch commemorates International Holocaust Memorial Day (January 27th, 2022). As time goes on, there are fewer survivors left to tell their story. We are fortunate to have one of the survivors here with us today. Dr. Jacob Eisenbach was born in Poland and has an amazing tale of survival, beginning when Hitler invaded Poland. He and his brother hid from the Nazis until they were finally caught, brought to a ghetto and ended up in a German concentration camp. He lost his family during those dark days, and eventually made it to America where he became a dentist. These days, his mission is to tell his story to assure Holocaust Deniers that the Holocaust really did happen, and to try to make sure it never happens again. He speaks all over the world against hate, discrimination, anti-Semitism and genocide.
Dr. Eisenbach wants people to know, My story is of global importance because the world must know what a genocide looks like, what it feels like and what what it means. With a nuclear warheads currently mounted on more than 12,000 intercontinental ballistic missiles (“ICBMs”) a genocide in this century would clearly represent an existential threat to civilization. For this reason, when we witness today’s rapidly evolving signs of hatred, intolerance and persecution perpetrated by one ethnic group against another, the world can no longer afford to remain silent. People of the world must work together to prevent all genocides, so some day we will be able to say with confidence 'NEVER AGAIN!'
Today's guest, Tony Lyons, president and publisher of Skyhorse Publishing, is not afraid. He believes that it is more important than ever to make sure voices get heard and the truth gets out. He believes 'the sky's the limit'! And, though his publishing company has more than 10,000 books in print, he is particularly proud of his latest bestseller: The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. There's a common joke about doctors, that they like to play 'God'. Well, for Fauci, it's no joke. He thinks he is God, but calls himself 'Science' instead. Little by little it's becoming more obvious that he's like the little bald-headed man behind the curtain, pretending to be the Great and Powerful Oz. When he teamed up with Bill Gates, Big Pharma and Media - they did, in fact, become powerful - so powerful that they have destroyed our lives with their lies! The Real Anthony Fauci pulls the cover off their illegal moneymaking crimes, and exposes the plot that has destroyed lives across the globe and is still hoodwinking us. Despite censorship of this book by mainstream media, social media and even some booksellers, it has risen to bestseller status on all the lists that count!
Never underestimate the shocking antics Kanye West will do! Now - unraveling because of Kim Kardashian's plans to divorce him - he's planning a trip to Russia to meet with President Putin!

Some politicians - from Biden and Pelosi on down - are making more of a fuss over the 1 year anniversary of the January 6 storming of the Capitol than they have done for the 20 anniversaries since 9/11! Don't be fooled! There are going to be events in D.C. and throughout the country - some of which may turn violent. But, even if no one is physically injured, we are all being psychologically injured by the revision of history that these politicians are doing. President Trump never told anyone to storm the Capitol. He wanted a a peaceful protest against accepting votes that were questionable. The American Revolution was similar to this storming - and had it not happened, we wouldn't have liberties today. Here to talk about these issues is John O'Connor. He is an attorney, legal analyst and the author of Postgate: How the Washington Post Betrayed Deep Throat, Covered Up Watergate, and Began Todays Partisan Advocacy Journalism and host of The Mysteries of Watergate Podcast. He served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Northern California representing the United States in both criminal and civil cases. He practices law in San Francisco and has been involved in many high profile cases, including Deep Throat, Mark Felt.
Dr. Carole helps you find closure for 2021 and helps you find your dreams in 2022 - with thoughts and advice... so you don't go mad!
Vladimir Zelenko, M.D. is a country doctor who, unlike Dr. Fauci, wasn’t looking for Brad Pitt to play him on TV. Instead, Dr. Zelenko was dedicated to finding a cure for Covid19 to save the lives of his patients. Tirelessly, he researched medical journals and spoke to doctors all over the world, until he found the ‘magic bullet’ – a combination of medication and supplements that cure patients if begun within the first 4 days of Coronavirus symptoms. Dr. Zelenko has testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security because the damage Covid19 has caused to families, the economy, mental health and even the American spirit–makes us more vulnerable to enemies. He not only presented The Zelenko Protocol, he exposed the incestuous relationship between BigPharma and the FDA, CDC and NIH-which has caused untold numbers to die! This episode of Dr. Carole’s Couch could save your life!
Today’s esteemed guests take us deep into the D.C. Swamp and reveal different aspects of how the media’s lies are hurting the American public. First, John O’Connor, as the attorney who represented Deep Throat, revisits Watergate. He is the author of Postgate: How the Washington Post Betrayed Deep Throat, Covered Up Watergate, and Began Today’s Partisan Advocacy Journalism. He demonstrates how the media coverage of this case started journalism down the slippery slope to where it is now, by taking us to today’s headlines: Durham indictment is bad news for mainstream media on Steele dossier reporting.
Next, Peter Navarro, former assistant to President Trump, and author of the new bestseller, In Trump Time: A Journal of America’s Plague Years, takes us inside the White House to where Fauci’s lies began taking their toll on Americans’ health. He describes in chilling detail how sociopathic Fauci withheld, from President Trump, crucial details of what he knew about the Wuhan lab, causing millions to die. The only conclusion one can reach is that Fauci needs to be arrested.
With the holidays come the kettles of the Salvation Army. But, before you drop your donations in, you must hear this! The leaders of the Salvation Army have become 'woke' and have instituted mandatory diversity training, including reading books that demand that white people repent - despite the fact that their staff doesn't agree. They have tried hiding their wokeness from the public because donations have begun to diminish as word leaked out. But, instead of recognizing that they need to change their woke policies, they are doubling down. Today's guest, Kenny Xu, is the President of Color Us United, an organization created to stand up for the individual dignity of ordinary Americans against abusive woke policies. He is also the author of An Inconvenient Minority - The ATTACK on ASIAN AMERICAN EXCELLENCE and the FIGHT FOR MERITOCRACY.
Kamala Harris wasn't really a household name throughout most of America until she was nominated by the Democratic Party for Vice-President. Yet it is especially important for everyone to get to know who she is because Joe Biden, the Democratic Party's Presidential nominee is not fit enough-mentally or physically-to last four years. This means whoever is VP would likely shoulder much of the responsibilities and take over at some point during the term. So, who is Kamala Harris? Today's guest, Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt, PhD (aka Dr. Chaps), a former State Representative (R-CO) and author, takes us back to Kamala's earliest days in politics and how she traded sex for a political head start. Her first move was to have an extra-marital affair with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, who not only gave her two six-figure political appointments, but escorted her on his arm to hobnob at political events, introducing her to key figures who would later finance her political aspirations.
These past months have been a crime-lover's dream! Ahmaud Arbery, Kyle Rittenhouse, Brian Laundrie, Nikolas Cruz, Darrell Brooks, Jr.... Today, Dr. Carole, a Forensic Psychiatrist, Expert Witness and Jury Consultant, analyzes them for you. She's written about these cases in her new column, Inside the Criminal Mind, for FrontPageDetectives.com and has dug up information you will not have heard anywhere, despite their being in the headlines for months!
Two recent headlines are stark reminders of why one should never play fast and loose with guns. On the movie set of the western Rust, actor Alec Baldwin picked up a prop gun, pulled the trigger and accidentally killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded the film's director, Joel Souza. Baldwin had been told the gun was cold, meaning it had no ammunition, but it was loaded with a live round. There had already been many problems on the set and there is enough blame to go around.... Then, in the Kenosha, Wisconsin courtroom, where the jury in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse was hearing closing arguments, the prosecutor, Thomas Binger, picked up a real gun - the one Kyle allegedly used - and swung it around the courtroom. If it weren't for the judge insisting upon a detective double checking that the gun wasn't loaded, Binger's 'Alec Baldwin moment' could have ended in death and injury, as well. Today's guest, Steve Wolf, is an expert on guns, movie sets and courtrooms! He will narrow in on who's to blame on the set of Rust and will critique how the gun was handled in court - and what should have happened in both of these scenarios.

Not just Virginia's problem-coming to a school near you, too! Would you believe that an ad - banned by network television stations in Virginia - because it is unlawful to show such sexually explicit materials - is the current reading material provided to Virginia's students? Several local TV stations refused to air Independent Women’s Voice’s ad: “Worth 1,000 Words”, depicting sexually explicit materials available in VA public schools. Federal communications law prohibits televisions from showing adults such materials, even when the same materials have been available to kids in Virginia public schools. IWV accordingly created a modified version of its 30-second ad, which shows a blurred version of what kids see, to conform with that law. But today, stations again refused to air the ad, claiming it still is ostensibly not suitable for late night adult viewing. Today's guests, Kelsey Bolar and Julie Gunlock, are Senior Policy Analysts at Independent Women's Voice, an organization located in Washington, D.C. Both the first uncensored ad and the second with censored images may be viewed at ToxicSchools.org. Parents can also take action at the website and make their voices heard. Federal law prohibits TV stations from airing obscene, indecent or profane content, marketers must follow text message industry S.H.A.F.T regulations, and social media companies have similar rules in place that make it impossible to actually show the public the explicit content. Yet, when it comes to Virginia public school students, these protections are thrown out the window. In 2016, then-Governor McAuliffe vetoed a bill that would have allowed parents to block sexually explicit books in school, and in 2021 he stated that he didn’t think parents should have a say about what is imposed on their children.This is despite the specific protections Virginia law gives the rights of parents. Again, don't think this is only a problem for Virginia-it's coming to a school near you, too!

According to legend, Halloween began as the night when spirits of the dead hunt for bodies to possess. In order to avoid becoming possessed, people left out food or wore disguises, and this turned into our current custom of trick-or-treat. It is no wonder then, that real life crimes increase on this night, and demons come out in force. Today's guest, Lisa Collier Cool, is the author of the bestselling book, Deliver Us From Evil, which became a major motion picture. It is based upon the investigations of haunted houses and cases of demonic possession of her co-author, Ralph Sarchie, a New York City police Sergeant who moonlights as a demonologist. The book begins with one of the spookiest cases, the case of the Halloween Horror. Ms. Collier Cool is the bestselling author of six books and winner of 19 journalism awards, after writing more than one million words for America's leading magazines, newspapers and websites.
Across America, crime is reaching new heights, while the number of police are reaching new lows - thanks to crazy new laws where criminals get to walk out the same day they're arrested, and police are defunded and attacked! On top of this, record numbers of immigrants are coming in from lawless countries - across our southern border and Afghanistan. What could go wrong? Today's guest is running a one-man campaign to help. He's Michael A Letts, the CEO and Founder of In-VestUSA, a national grassroots non-profit organization that is helping hundreds of communities provide thousands of bullet-proof vests for their police forces through educational, public relations, sponsorship, and fundraising programs.
More and more pieces of the America we once knew and loved are being hijacked each day - with freedoms stolen from us and truth, justice and the American way being turned upside down! From Biden's surrender in Afghanistan, to his ever more draconian vaccine mandates, to calling in the FBI to arrest parents who protest against 'woke' school boards and teachers, to General Milley betraying American security to..... the list goes on! Fortunately, today's guest, Larry Klayman, Esq. will discuss what it will take to reclaim America! Mr. Klayman, is the author of It Takes a Revolution: Forget the Scandal Industry! He is also the founder and former chairman of the successful non-profit foundation Judicial Watch, and has dedicated his career to fighting against injustice and restoring ethics to the legal profession and government. He is the only lawyer ever to have obtained a court ruling that a U.S. president committed a crime, which occurred during his tenure at Judicial Watch. He became so well known that NBC’s hit drama series The West Wing created a character inspired by him, named Harry Claypool of Freedom Watch.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, who I have called the Voice and Face of Gloom and Doom, since the pandemic began, has caused more people to be vulnerable to catching Covid19 than he has helped, because he has stressed us all out - and stress weakens the immune system. He changes his advice more often than he changes his underwear! Today's guest, Todd Erzen, is the co-author (along with Steve Deace) of Faucian Bargain: The Most Powerful and Dangerous Bureaucrat in American History. It wasn’t too long ago that the average American didn’t know who Anthony Fauci was. Now, after the coronavirus has spread nationwide, he’s arguably the most powerful bureaucrat in American history. But is it dangerous for a free society to concentrate so much power in the hands of an unelected official? Hear why the answer is a resounding 'yes'! Also, hear what he should have been telling you to help you survive Covid - and why he has been pushing the vaccine! And did you ever realize that the reason he wants you to keep focusing on coronavirus and the pandemic is so that he stays relevant and keeps his face on TV? Think about it.
President Biden, Dr. Fauci, the CDC, FDA, Big Pharma and other medical institutions are doing everything they can to try to get us all vaccinated against Covid19 and doing everything they can to keep us from finding out about all the dangerous side effects! We are being lied to about the harm these vaccines have been doing all along! Today's guest, Deborah Conrad, is a Physician Assistant at a regional New York hospital, so she has seen the devastation from Covid19 vaccines up close and personal. And her horror has turned her into a whistleblower! She started out simply trying to do the right thing, when she discovered, on her own, that she was supposed to report vaccine related side effects to VAERS (the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System). She began doing so, only to be chastised by her hospital and accused of being an anti-vaxxer and not towing the company line! When you hear about all of the medical conditions that have suddenly arisen after people received the Covid19 vaccine - from cancer to cardiac conditions - you will be shocked and furious!
Today's show takes you behind the headlines for the true story of Tanya Rider, who languished in a ravine for eight days while her husband, Tom, begged the sheriffs to search for her. They will tell you their story, which has just been released in a new book by TitleTown, Missing: Without A Trace: 8 Days of Horror. Publisher and disaster expert, Tracy Ertl, will share her passion for helping people survive. Dr. Carole traveled with Tracy to the state of Washington to interview Tanya and Dr. Carole wrote the Prologue and a chapter in this book - adding her perspective as a Forensic Psychiatrist.
Scott DeLuzio and his brother Steven were deployed by the Army National Guard to Afghanistan in 2010. Both were fighting just miles away from each other on August 22, 2010, when Scott was told Steven had just been killed. Moments later, Scott was thrust into battle against the Taliban, who had just taken his brother’s life. SURVIVING SON: An Afghanistan War Veteran Reveals His Nightmare of Becoming a Gold Star Brother is the true-life story of Scott and Steven DeLuzio. Scott DeLuzio takes you on a journey from his Connecticut upper-middle-class childhood to his call to service after 9/11. With college degrees and a bright future ahead of them, these brothers left the safety of suburban life to fight on the front lines in Afghanistan. In SURVIVING SON, DeLuzio explores the hostile war zone and the soldiers experience engaging in combat with the Taliban. He describes what it was like to be a soldier and the raw emotion he felt when learning of his brother’s death. He vividly reveals how he continued to struggle with PTSD from the stresses of combat, the loss of his only sibling, and the transition to civilian life. Scott’s homecoming was not the hero’s welcome he deserved. By telling his story, Scott hopes to reach out to those veterans still struggling with the impact of war. His message is one of hopefulness that can potentially reverse the stigma that often accompanies those who seek mental health treatment. Especially timely with the withdrawal of troops in Afghanistan, Scott opens up about U.S. withdrawal from the region. “I believe that every service member who took part in the war did what was needed to keep Americans safe at home by taking the fight to the enemy.”
It will soon be the 20th Anniversary of September 11th - the day that Radical Islamists stole America's innocence and changed America forever! Do you know where the terrorists are now? Fortunately, today's guest, Robert Spencer, does. He's the 'canary in the coal mine' as Director of Jihad Watch, keeping tabs on the ongoing threat of global jihadists and keeping us informed, while most Americans have stopped watching. Most people have pushed memories of 9/11 down into the recesses of their mind because they find it too painful to remember. But, those who forget history are doomed to repeat it, and terrorists have not gone away, nor given up their plans to conquer the West. But why? Are jihadis dying for a fiction? Is there any sound historical evidence that the prophet of Islam actually existed or is the entire story of Muhammad fable or fiction? It is a question that few have thought—or dared—to ask. Virtually everyone, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, takes for granted that the prophet of Islam lived as a prophet, as well as a political and military leader, in seventh-century Arabia. But, this widely accepted story begins to crumble on close examination. Robert Spencer is a New York Times bestselling author, historian and Islam expert. His latest book, Did Muhammad Exist? An Inquiry into Islam's Obscure Origins, not only reveals the often-shocking contents of Islamic teachings about Muhammad, he also lays bare those teachings’ surprisingly shaky historical foundations. Are terrorists fighting for an illusion?
The Taliban is celebrating mock funerals today, and practicing for REAL ones of Americans tomorrow - not only for troops & Americans left behind, but for those they plan to kill on American soil! indeed, more ramifications of this Afghanistan travesty are to come! And it makes us heartsick. We're all in shock and grieving for the loss of the war on terror in Afghanistan. But, imagine how devastated veterans feel - veterans who rushed into the War on Terror after 9/11 because of their deep patriotism. President Biden has callously robbed them of their identity, by surrendering to the Taliban! His callous disrespect for the troops was obvious when he kept looking at his watch when 13 troops came home in coffins and spoke about his own son instead of comforting the families who lost theirs. Today's guests are Dr. Lorin Lindner, PhD, MPH, the CEO and President of Lockwood Animal Rescue Center/Serenity Park Sanctuary - where veterans save rescued animals who, in turn, save them and help them to heal. She's also the author of Birds of a Feather. Stanley McDonald is a 10 year Navy veteran and Navy Seabee who served in combat in Kuwait during the Gulf War, Desert Storm and Desert Shield. He's currently the Foreman of the Warrior and Wolves program. Both of them are also in close contact with Afghanistan vets.
Why are we sitting back and allowing our country to be dissed and destroyed by haters? Growing divisiveness in this country has never been as shockingly displayed as on this past July 4th weekend, when individuals and institutions - from NPR to NYT to PBS to National Geographic to a Congresswoman - trashed American symbols and America, itself! This was very demoralizing, depressing and distressing to the majority of Americans and to the troops watching and listening to the weekend festivities celebrating America’s Birthday. But, even worse is what it says about the boundless attack on traditional values. Dr. Carole describes examples of these attacks and what impact they are having on our nation. She also quotes excerpts from Aaron Lewis’ new song, “Am I The Only One,” which describes his despair and hope for America to be saved.
As the 20th Anniversary of 9/11 approaches, we have begun to feel a sense of dread over being reminded of this tragic day, but with the travesty of a hasty pullout in Afghanistan and the takeover by the Taliban, it has brought back these traumatic memories before we anticipated! But, now it is even worse because our worst nightmare has occurred. Not only did terrorists attack America on 9/11, but they have repeated this victory again by wrenching away all the trillions of dollars we put into building Afghanistan, and the intelligence center we had in our Embassy there, that were our eyes and ears on foreign terrorists. Not to mention the devastation this has had on the morale of Americans - especially those who lost loved ones who joined the military after 9/11 to protect our country! Just in time for 9/11, we are re-traumatized by terrorists. Fortunately, today's guest, Dr. Harvey Kushner, an internationally recognized authority on terrorism, who has advised numerous governmental agencies both here and abroad on matters related to terrorism. A widely published and best-selling author of hundreds of articles and five books on terrorism, Kushner’s Holy War on the Home Front: The Secret Islamic Terror Network in the United States was a Conservative Book Club’s “Selection of the Month.” His best-selling Encyclopedia of Terrorism has won numerous distinguished awards from such organizations as the American Library Association. Hear how and why Biden's careless, hasty, ill-timed pullout of American and Allied troops puts us all in greater danger!

You know her name, Tara Reade-'that woman' who alleges sexual harassment and sexual assault by Joe Biden. But, you won't know her TRUE story unless you read her book, Left Out: When the Truth Doesn't Fit In, or hear her in her own words on today's show. Tara worked in Biden's Senate office in 1993, when these incidents occurred. Dr. Carole has followed Tara's story and believes her-not only because of credible interviews like the one she did with Megyn Kelly-but especially because of Tara's-now deceased-mother's call to Larry King asking for help. Tara describes Biden's harassment and attack-in stunning detail that is classic of victims and sexual predators-including Biden's reaction when she rejected his advances. Tara also tells of her childhood with an abusive father, the underpinnings of her attraction to an abusive husband and the reason why Biden sensed she might be vulnerable prey. Coming forward she's been rewarded by politically motivated attacks by media and by death threats.
Today's guest, Cindy Grosz, a former teacher in New York City, says: Corruption, critical race theory, and anti-white and anti-Semitic racism aren’t new in New York public schools. Award-winning teacher Cindy Grosz has been fighting it for years, blowing the whistle on racist language used by the principal at the schools where she worked, and exposing other corruption and bad deeds in New York’s schools. Grosz is a veteran at battling New York’s entrenched left. For years no one listened. Then she was terminated despite whistleblower protections. Now the true nature of New York schools is a city-wide topic, with the campaign to replace Mayor Bill de Blasio heating up in its final weeks and American Federation of Teachers head Randi Weingarten battling against reopening schools, despite the science, before an abrupt about-face, and pushing more and more critical race theory indoctrination in public schools. “I was exposing what seemed to be one of the most corrupt districts in New York,” Grosz tells PJ Media, but “Instead of fixing the problems they seemed to have encouraged it.”
Dr. Carole analyzes today's headlines: THE GOOD (Space Race), THE BAD (Covid19-related topics) & THE UGLY (Ben & Jerry's anti-semitism & Harry's Tell-All book)! She takes you behind the scenes - stuff you won't hear/watch or read in mainstream media!!!

For some, Father's Day means balloons, cake and an outing for dads and kids. But for those who don't have dads in their life, it's the saddest, emptiest day of the year. We pretend that it's okay for men to abandon their 'baby mamas', when it's really not okay at all. These men not only abandon their women, they abandon their children - who are then many times more likely to join gangs, have behavioral problems, become homeless, runaways, high school dropouts and criminals. Today's guest, Lee Habeeb, is the Executive Producer of The Streets Were My Father: A Story of Hopelessness and Redemption. The film features the stories of three inner city Chicago men - one African-American and two Hispanic - and their journey from fatherlessness to gangs, and from prison to encounters with prison ministry programs that set each of them on the road to redemption. The poignant stories of these men illustrate the problems and the pain of fatherlessness - which perpetuate the cycle. Boys who grow up fatherless don't know what it means to care for a woman and a child enough to take responsibility for them because their father did not model it for them or teach them how. But, there are ways out of this cycle, as you will hear.
The question of whether to vaccinate a child is one that everyone has an opinion on, though no one asks a child what they think. Today's guest, Angela Pearson, is the author of I Am Not Contagious, a book inspired by - and from the viewpoint of - her son and his experience of being rejected from school because of not being vaccinated.
Dr. Fauci has been the 'voice and face' of gloom and doom from the beginning of this pandemic, causing us tremendous stress - which weakens our immune system and makes us more vulnerable to catching Covid19! His presence and misguided, contradictory advice has caused more distress and death than coronavirus itself! All along, Dr. Carole has been warning everyone about the danger he represents, but finally she decided to do more than media interviews explaining all of this. Now she has created a website (www.pleasefirefauci.com) where you can sign a petition to fire Dr. Fauci, after reading 5 reasons why we must! Dr. Carole knows these things because she is not only an M.D. and a Board Certified Psychiatrist, with a Masters in Public Health, she’s also a recipient of an NIMH Fellowship in Epidemiology for her UCLA research on how to use the media to to prevent and treat physical and mental disorders. So, she knows how to run a public health campaign and says that Dr. Fauci has either never taken Public Health 101 or has forgotten it! A basic lesson is that you are not supposed to frighten people to death so that they follow politicians' mandates like sheep, you're supposed to provide them with positive steps they can take to strengthen their immune system and build resilience for their mental and physical health. She provides these steps on her website with her anagram: H-E-A-L M-Y-S-E-L-F, where each letter reminds you of things to do every day to protect yourself from Covid19 and make yourself stronger psychologically and physically. She wants you to go to the website, read the helpful information and then sign the petition. Remember, the website is: www.pleasefirefauci.com.
Coronavirus has been taking a heavy toll on love - whether you're single, dating, engaged or married. Too much togetherness or not enough, the fear of contracting Covid19 through sex, as well as the assault on our mental health in general - from lockdowns, riots, political divisiveness and elections - make us cranky and not in a loving mood. So, it's no wonder that divorce filings are skyrocketing! Here to tell us all about it is Beverly Hills' top divorce attorney Alexandra Leichter. She has countless years of experience in divorce, child custody, child and spousal support, domestic violence and division of property. Needless to say, in Beverly Hills, where there are many big personalities and egos, she has seen it all - in terms of high conflict cases. Her phone hasn't stopped ringing since the pandemic began and the problems aren't pretty. She'll take you behind the scenes and onto the battlefields, and hopefully this will make you think twice before throwing in the towel.
While we were sleeping... progressives, socialists, marxists, like BLM and others have been hijacking our kids' minds with tales of Critical Race Theory and Twisted Sex Ed! One good thing about Covid19 causing school closures and remote learning is that parents are finally seeing and waking up to the destructive lessons their kids have been getting in school! We're discovering that schools have been allowing these groups - all united in the single goal of destroying the traditional American family and America - to teach their curricula because the groups are paying them! But, even though parents and politicians are waking up, they are still having to struggle against the roadblocks that schools and these groups have put up! Fortunately, today's guests have the answers! April Few and Sandy Torosian are leaders of U.S. Parents Involved in Education, a group dedicated to helping parents fight back and overcome these roadblocks! Critical Race Theory teaches white children to believe that they're racist and to feel guilty. It teaches black children to be afraid of white children. And Comprehensive Sexuality Education teaches all kids to believe it's not cool to identify with the genitals they were born with. Fortunately, today's guests will help guide you and your children towards better mental health and finding the way back.
The one-year anniversary of George Floyd's death is a perfect time to explore the new tsunami of youth activism and to ask: is it misguided and naive or a breath of fresh air and hope? Today's guests, Laura Pellegrini and Stefano Da Frè, Co-Directors and Producers of “The Day I Had To Grow Up, a Documentary About Youth Activism, say “George Floyd’s death brought forth a new wave of activism towards racial discrimination. It marked a moment in American society where marches were joined by people from all walks of life. The film showcases 6 activists and the events that shaped their political lives, including: the Parkland shooting, student debt, women's roles, the climate crisis, money and politics, social media, BLM and more. These activists give impassioned speeches about the causes they believe in. But, although they are stirring and articulate, do they really know enough about these issues, from the perspective of their short lives, to tell political, educational and corporate leaders they're wrong and to call for the changes they want? Do they deserve to be listened to just because they will be living in a future that they say we grownups have messed up? The documentary won 1st place (Special Jury Prize) at the Prague International Film Festival - a top-level film festival in Europe and is officially in a BAFTA Qualified Film Festival (Documentary Category) at Carmarthen Bay Film Festival, Wales, UK.
You've heard of the State of the Union address. Well, today, since May is Mental Health Awareness Month, Dr. Carole reports on 'The State of Americans' Mental Health'. She describes 3 paradigms - or models - which describe the psychological issues people are dealing with, as a result of Covid19 and other challenges of the past year and a half. Ask yourself which symptoms describe how you're feeling. First, there's what Dr. Carole calls the 'WALL-E Syndrome'. A scene in the movie WALL-E is unforgettable and prophetic. It's the scene where people are endlessly spinning around on an amusement park ride, being fed junk food and entertainment, getting ever more mindless, fat and lazy. Second, is what Dr. Carole calls Reluctant Reentry Syndrome. There are 10 symptoms that may describe you, if you're feeling less than gleeful about jumping back outside into the 'new normal'. And third is simply depression - feeling sad about how the world has changed and wondering if you want to live in it anymore. Dr. Carole encourages you to see the lifting of Covid lockdowns as an opportunity to re-invent yourself. Take time to think about what aspects of your old life you want to keep and what you want to change. Needless to say, if you're having serious symptoms of these 3 paradigms that describe Americans' Mental Health today, you should get help.
The attack on Israel is escalating, and so is the toll of deaths and injuries! Though it seems to have come out of the blue, in fact there have long been dark forces gathering - terrorists who want to destroy Israel (and the West). Today's guest, David Rubin, former Mayor of Shiloh, Israel, author of major books about Israel and its relationship to America, and the 'trusted voice of Israel'- is speaking with us today from the frontlines, as war rages around him. Not only is Israel in mortal danger from the blasts of bombs, it is in danger from the blasts of antisemitic members of Congress, such as Ilhan Omar and the rest of the Squad. Most presidents - except for Obama - have realized the value of keeping Israel as America's BFF in the Middle East. But, now that Obama is pulling Biden's strings behind the scenes, it is no wonder that Iran and other terrorists surrounding Israel have brazenly come forward to attack! Hear what is REALLY going on inside Israel today.
Coca Cola and countless other companies have been flying under the radar while they force their employees to take training to be less white! They define being less white as being less: oppressive, arrogant, ignorant and more. Fortunately, today's guest, Dr. Karlyn Borysenko, has blown the whistle on these practices and is working to expose them. Dr. Borysenko is the author of Zen Your Work: Create Your Ideal Work Experience Through Mindful Self-Mastery. She was happily working as a successful speaker, trainer, consultant and coach to companies big and small, when employees reached out to her with samples of outrageous training programs they were forced to take. These programs, that are similar to those foisted on schoolchildren, are aimed at making white people feel guilty for being white. They promote the premise that all white people are racist. But, instead of encouraging a more inclusive workplace - or school environment - these programs actually CAUSE more divisiveness! Dr. Karlyn shares her experiences as a whistleblower and blows the cover off of these dangerous practices!
Dr. Anthony Fauci, who I have called the Voice and Face of Gloom and Doom, since the pandemic began, has caused more people to be vulnerable to catching Covid19 than he has helped, because he has stressed us all out - and stress weakens the immune system. He changes his advice more often than he changes his underwear! Today's guest, Todd Erzen, is the co-author (along with Steve Deace) of Faucian Bargain: The Most Powerful and Dangerous Bureaucrat in American History. It wasn’t too long ago that the average American didn’t know who Anthony Fauci was. Now, after the coronavirus has spread nationwide, he’s arguably the most powerful bureaucrat in American history. But is it dangerous for a free society to concentrate so much power in the hands of an unelected official? Hear why the answer is a resounding 'yes'! Also, hear what he should have been telling you to help you survive Covid - and why he has been pushing the vaccine! And did you ever realize that the reason he wants you to keep focusing on coronavirus and the pandemic is so that he stays relevant and keeps his face on TV? Think about it.
Just when we thought it was safe to come outside, there are even worse things threatening us than coronavirus! The lockdowns have made us lose our humanity and protests are being hijacked by people who want to destroy America! Dr. Carole helps you to understand the psychology behind the riots so you can survive the insanity and help your kids to survive, as well.
Dr. Carole continues her series of episodes geared to helping you get through the Coronavirus/Covid-19 pandemic with a healthy mind and body. Today, Dr. Carole puts you in touch with your feelings about whether you have Quarantine Fatigue or you Don't Want Quarantine to End. One of the reasons you may not want it to end is that you're not sure you're ready to face the world because you suspect you may be having symptoms - like anxiety, depression or insomnia - that will make it harder to succeed in the 'new normal'. So, Dr. Carole then warns you about the addictive nature of some medications you might be tempted to try, and steers you in the direction of the best kinds of treatment for various psychological problems.
A White House Gender Policy Council sounds like its purpose is to help BOTH genders-but NOT Biden's Council. His excludes boys and men and only helps girls and women! Yet, despite what Biden and his Council would have you think, boys and men are in trouble, in terms of education, jobs, fatherlessness, physical health and emotional health. Today's three guests are all members of an organization - unrelated to President Biden - called the White House Council on Boys and Men. Even before Biden became President, this organization has been working towards establishing such a Council in the White House to address the special concerns of boys and men. How ironic and sad, then, is the fact that Biden's Gender Policy Council excludes boys and men! Psychologist Dr. Warren Farrell is the author of bestselling books about male psychology, including The Boy Crisis. He's been a pioneer in both the men's and women's movements - including being elected to the board of N.O.W. Laurie A. Couture is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and the author of Instead of Medicating and Punishing, and the upcoming book, Nurturing and Empowering Our Sons. She is not only an expert by training, but also through her own experience of having adopted a boy from the foster care system who ultimately committed suicide. Bill Amatneek is the author of Heart of a Man, a collection of stories written by men that gives insight into who men really are, in the hopes that it will bring men and women closer together. Each of these guests bring their own perspective and efforts towards the goal of the WHCBM, and the current campaign to get President Biden to add the needs of boys and men to his White House Gender Policy Council.
Are the police going extinct? Can they be saved? How and why did they become endangered? Whose bright idea was it to 'defund the police' - especially at the same time as inmates are being let out of jails and prisons? And who you gonna call when you're being robbed? raped? murdered? or when there's the next terror attack? Today's guest, Sergeant Betsy Brantner Smith, spokesperson for the National Police Association, will answer these questions and more - like: how do the police continue to put themselves on the line every day, risking their lives when it's not just the usual criminals out to get them, but protesters, rioters and looters? This is certainly not what they signed up for when they entered the Police Academy with visions of serving and protecting their communities. How is their morale? How are they coping? What are their plans for the future?
Dr. Carole, America's Psychiatrist, puts the two most recent mass shooters - Robert Aaron Long in Georgia and Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa in Colorado - on her couch and analyzes them. What would make someone become a mass shooter? She explains why she believes they each had different motives, but both had underlying mental illness. Long is an admitted sex addict, but that's not all of his problems. Alissa was paranoid, according to his family, but this, too, is not all of his problems. Despite some who would claim otherwise, Dr. Carole does not believe that Long's attack was a hate crime against Asians. On the other hand, there is reason to believe that Alissa's attack was related to terrorism and his anger at alleged Islamophobia. What they both have in common is that there are people in society with their own agenda, who are spinning these attacks to fit narratives they want heard in the media. For Long, they want to blame white supremacy. Yet for Alissa, they want to deny terrorism. Dr. Carole is also known as the Terrorist Therapist®, because, since 9/11, she has devoted herself to helping people thrive while living under the cloud of 9/11 and the ongoing threat of terrorism. So, both as a psychiatrist and a terrorism expert, Dr. Carole is particularly well suited to put both of the on her couch.
Our mental health has taken a beating during this past year, as we have been forced to try to adjust to things - from the pandemic to politics - that seemed as if they were taken from episodes of The Twilight Zone. So, as more of us are suffering from anxiety to agoraphobia, paranoia to PTSD, and germaphobia to grief and depression, this would be a good time to question what's 'normal' before we go into what is being called the 'new normal'. Today's guest, Dr. Roy Richard Grinker, a renowned anthropology professor and award-winning author, can answer this question with his latest book, Nobody’s Normal: How Culture Created the Stigma of Mental Illness. He has been moved to study society and the psyche because approximately twenty percent of all American adults—around 60 million people—live with a mental illness. But due to the lingering legacy of shame and secrecy around mental health, sixty percent of them receive no treatment. Dr. Grinker looks at these issues, not only as a professor, but also from his personal history, since his family’s four generations of involvement in psychiatry include his great grandfather, a scientist who believed mental illness was a sign of biological inferiority; his grandfather, a patient of Freud; and his daughter’s experience with autism, about which he wrote UNSTRANGE MINDS: Remapping the World of Autism.

Did you ever wonder: What if we give a 'Reopening' and nobody comes? Your personality will determine how you'll respond when you're finally allowed to leave your home. Dr. Carole discusses the 5 ways people will react to a loosening of lockdown restrictions so you can figure out which one matches you, your family members, friends and colleagues. Don't wait 'til the door opens to know how you'll behave-it's best to know now, so you can plan ahead. Dr. Carole also gives you advice about your kids - their emotions and what's best to do about school. And she looks at other current issues regarding Coronavirus and Covid-19.
Bullying is on the rise in schools and online. If you or your kids were ever bullied, you know that it leaves lasting psychological scars on kids who are bullied-if not physical ones. So who's to blame? Parents run into apathy, helplessness, retaliation and more if they try to get the school to fix the problem. Yet, they rarely ask themselves if they are ultimately responsible for their child's bad behavior. Today's guest, Mark Simon, is now a successful entertainment industry veteran, but when he was a teen, he was terrorized by a group of boys who brutally bullied and physically attacked him and his family. His memoir-ATTACKED! Bullied: Surviving Terror and Finding Justice- tells the story of how he fought back in court and became the first person in the country to successfully use a law holding parents legally responsible for the hurtful actions of their kids. It is a cautionary tale for all families. Find out what makes a bully and what makes families responsible for their acts.
The Covid19 Pandemic has made us realize that our lives, and the lives of our loved ones, may well depend up the dedication of a nurse! Yet within the first two years of practice, 33% of new nurses leave the profession. Why are so many walking away from a stable and rewarding career, and what can we do about it? Today's guest, Nancy Congleton, is an outspoken registered nurse known as Nurse Nancy. She takes us behind the scenes to reveal why nurses are fleeing! Having worked in the NICU, ER and in case management. she's the author of Autopsy of the NP: Dissecting the Nurse Profession Piece by Piece. In addition to offering solutions, she'll reveal the unexpected realities of the nursing profession, relationship dynamics that nurses face, legal issues and the concerns we all should have when nurses feel so unprepared and overworked that they leave. Why do people decide to become nurses, anyway? And is this changing because of the coronavirus pandemic?
We all have our opinions about Coronavirus lockdowns, and most of us are not fans. We're tired of being told what to do and wondering whether the lockdowns (and masks, and so on) really help to save lives. Today's guest, Michael Betrus, author of Covid19 Lockdowns on Trial, has researched these questions to get to the bottom of whether the pain we've all suffered from pandemic mandates have done anything to keep us safer. We look at all the parameters affected by the coronavirus - including: schools, nursing homes, families, hospitals, businesses, the economy, domestic abuse, child abuse, vaccines - and compare states that had strict mandates vs. those that were more relaxed. What do you think the statistics show? Tune in to find out.
Vladimir Zelenko, M.D. is a country doctor who, unlike Dr. Fauci, wasn’t looking for Brad Pitt to play him on TV. Instead, Dr. Zelenko was dedicated to finding a cure for Covid19 to save the lives of his patients. Tirelessly, he researched medical journals and spoke to doctors all over the world, until he found the ‘magic bullet’ – a combination of medication and supplements that cure patients if begun within the first 4 days of Coronavirus symptoms. Dr. Zelenko has testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security because the damage Covid19 has caused to families, the economy, mental health and even the American spirit–makes us more vulnerable to enemies. He not only presented The Zelenko Protocol, he exposed the incestuous relationship between BigPharma and the FDA, CDC and NIH-which has caused untold numbers to die! This episode of Dr. Carole’s Couch could save your life!
Do you think the world has become more frightening and others are controlling your destiny? Then it will be strangely comforting to hear that you're right. Today's guest, Troy Anderson, a Pulitzer Prize-nominated investigative journalist and bestselling author of several books, will take you behind the veil of secrecy and reveal who's pulling the strings. It's not pretty, but it's something we all need to wake up to before it's too late. Anderson predicted what would happen in the 2020 election in his book, Trumpocalypse-how the global elite and deep state would stop at nothing to overthrow him-a timely topic as Congress is still trying to get Trump impeached. He'll also talk about his latest book, The Military Guide to Armageddon: Battle-Tested Strategies to Prepare Your Life and Soul for the End Times. Anderson's passion to investigate powerful hidden forces began when his famous relative died under mysterious circumstances while about to expose plans of a powerful secret society.
How did BIG TECH get so big that it can ban the President of the United States? And not only the President, but people like you and I whose posts they can decide they don't like for political or any other reason that takes their fancy. They're mysteriously making our followers, likes and retweets disappear, if not our whole page. Were we so blinded by these shiny new toys: Google and social media -that we gave them free rein, just assuming they could always be trusted to keep the public good and free speech in mind? But this is the tip of the iceberg, as today's guest explains. Patrick Wood is the Founder and Director of Citizens for Free Speech, an organization dedicated to protecting and defending the First Amendment. His insights on the Global Elite, Technocracy and the New World Order-and how they're intent upon destroying democracy, the free market and your right to property ownership, will make you think you're in a dystopian Brave New World that is very scary indeed!
The clock is ticking.... Americans are reeling as words like election, insurrection, sedition and treason are thrown about, while half of America still hopes that President Trump has an ace up his sleeve! He’s managed to overcome one attack after the other during his presidency, but now former allies have lined up to stab him in the back–as in the scene where Julius Caesar says, “Et tu Brute?” V. P. Pence and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have joined the line long-led by Nancy Pelosi. So, where does President Trump go from here? Will he be impeached? Found unfit via the 25th Amendment? Or will he overturn the election by finally invoking the Order on Foreign Interference in Elections? And do all roads lead to Rome? Here to answer these questions and more is Brad Johnson, a former CIA officer, and the founder and President of Americans for Intelligence Reform – a voice of reason in this time of madness.
Election honesty goes to the very heart of American democracy, which is why the increasing number of reports of fraud in our current election must be thoroughly investigated! Today's guest, Rick Gates, was Deputy Campaign Chairman for President Trump in 2016 and involved in the 2020 Campaign, as well. He's also the author of Wicked Game: An Insider's Story of How Trump Won, Mueller Failed, and America Lost. Today, he sheds light on the battle still raging in key battleground states, how the media has influenced the results, what ballot certification could mean, what impact faithless electors can still have, and more. Dr. Carole calls on us to understand how the election and its media coverage is like Orwell's dystopian novel, 1984 - and how America's future as a democracy depends upon us getting to the root of it!
Today, Dr. Carole puts the Nashville Bomber, Anthony Quinn Warner, on her couch and analyzes him: his motives, his psychopathology, his dysfunctional family, how the song Downtown was his suicide note expressing profound loneliness, why he gave homes to a woman in Los Angeles, his fears about 5G, wanting the world to never forget him, and much more!
What chaos the world is in! Between Crisis Fatigue, Coronavirus Fatigue and Holiday Blues, our heads are spinning! So take a breath and relax on Dr. Carole's Couch, as she tells you everything you ever wanted to know about coronavirus, but were afraid to ask! She shares her 'prescription' for increasing resilience and decreasing stress! It's all in one memorable anagram: H-E-A-L M-Y-S-E-L-F, where each letter stands for a step you can take every day to keep your sanity and your health. Dr. Carole also talks vaccines-from the sublime to the ridiculous. Should you take it? And how to fix the damage Dr. Fauci caused by telling kids he traveled to the North Pole to vaccinate Santa and saved him from Covid19!? Ever wonder why Covid cases keeps rising despite mandates to wear masks, lockdown, stay six feet apart and, as some so-called experts say, Stay home! Cancel everything! Could it be the backlash to these Orwellian restrictions? Hear why the Public Health campaign is to blame!
Dr. Judy Mikovits, a research scientist and controversial figure, is trying passionately to warn people about the danger of vaccines (including for Covid19) and the nefarious intentions of BigPharma, WHO, Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates. She's the author of Plague and Plague of Corruption: Restoring Faith in the Promise of Science, as well as the film Plandemic.

Though some want to believe the election is over and Joe Biden is President-Elect, there are miles to go before results are legitimized! Even before Election Day, there was reason to suspect Covid19 was an excuse for rampant mail-in fraud and though we don't want to believe such blatant thievery could hijack America's elections, we have to face the shocking ugly truths that are being uncovered. Today's guest, Lt. Gen'l. Thomas McInerney, is a decorated war hero: a pilot, commander and strategic planner in the U.S. Air Force. Now, he's fighting another war-this time on home soil-where enemies include those who want to destroy America! He'll share the who, what, when, where, why and how of the current state of the battle. And if anyone can defend our liberty, it's him-not only because of his military and defense work, but also because he established the consulting firm of GRTT (Government Reform Through Technology) and co-authored Endgame: The Blueprint for Victory in the War on Terror.
You know her name, Tara Reade-'that woman' who alleges sexual harassment and sexual assault by Joe Biden. But, you won't know her TRUE story unless you read her book, Left Out: When the Truth Doesn't Fit In, or hear her in her own words on today's show. Tara worked in Biden's Senate office in 1993, when these incidents occurred. Dr. Carole has followed Tara's story and believes her-not only because of credible interviews like the one she did with Megyn Kelly-but especially because of Tara's-now deceased-mother's call to Larry King asking for help. Tara describes Biden's harassment and attack-in stunning detail that is classic of victims and sexual predators-including Biden's reaction when she rejected his advances. Tara also tells of her childhood with an abusive father, the underpinnings of her attraction to an abusive husband and the reason why Biden sensed she might be vulnerable prey. Coming forward she's been rewarded by politically motivated attacks by media and by death threats
We hear about Covid19 every day, yet, like moths to a flame, we are drawn back for more. Today's guest, Celina Nadelman, M.D., helps us protect ourselves by shedding light on a new aspect of the disease. Though most attention has been focused on the lungs, she's discovered that it's the cardiovascular system that plays a crucial role. As a cytopathologist and fine needle aspiration specialist, she explains how taking care of the lining of our blood vessels can solve the mystery of why Covid patients suffer from lack of oxygen even when they're on ventilators. Her advice can help you be less vulnerable to Covid and to solve the problem that causes this lack of oxygen. Like with so many families, Dr. Nadelman suffered a loss of her own during the pandemic. Her father died from pneumonia. Though not directly caused by the coronavirus itself, the loneliness imposed by Covid restrictions, preventing families from visiting their loved ones in nursing homes, contributed heavily to his death.

We're all suffering from Election Stress Disorder. Find out what it is, why this year is different from all other years, and what you can do to feel better and cure it. Dr. Carole will also touch on the most controversial issues of the day - from why people blame President Trump for Coronavirus, to what it means that a fly stole the show at the Vice-Presidential debates, why childhood and not politics should be the focus of the Amy Coney Barrett's hearings for the Supreme Court - and what you need to know about Joe Biden's mental and physical health! She also urges you to sign her change.org petition to be sent to the Commission on Presidential Debates to: Save Our Election! Demand 2 More In-Person Debates! No Valid Medical Reason for Virtual! Especially since President Trump has tested negative for Covid19! https://tinyurl.com/yxp3k3d8
Hold onto your seats-it's going to be a bumpy ride! First comes Halloween, a day some find scary. But, this year Halloween will hardly raise goose-bumps, compared to the Election Day Apocalypse ahead! Today, Dr. Carole will give you some cool ideas for Halloween costumes ripped from the headlines that make a statement. And if you already have your costume picked out, she'll analyze your choice and tell you what it says about the real you underneath! Then, she'll answer the question you're all wondering about: Will Americans have a nervous breakdown on Election Day? And she'll help you protect yourself from the inevitable Election Day Apocalypse.
Much to Dr. Carole's chagrin, there is a psychiatrist who has long claimed that President Trump is not fit to be President because of his mental makeup. And just as long as this other psychiatrist has been consulting to Democrats to get him impeached or fired by the 25th Amendment, Dr. Carole has been praising his accomplishments. So, Dr. Carole decided to invite Dr. Bandy Lee on the show to talk it out! While preparing for the show, Dr. Carole unearthed one similarity after another between the two of them - from being born in the Bronx, to having trained at Bellevue (Dr. Carole in psychiatry, Dr. Lee doing her internship there), both being Chief Resident in psychiatry, both having fellowships from NIMH, both becoming forensic psychiatrists and experts in violence, and both analyzing public figures in the media. So, Dr. Carole asks, How can someone with such a similar background come to such an opposite (and erroneous) conclusion about Pres. Trump? And the fireworks start from there.

Coronavirus has been taking a heavy toll on love - whether you're single, dating, engaged or married. Too much togetherness or not enough, the fear of contracting Covid19 through sex, as well as the assault on our mental health in general - from lockdowns, riots, political divisiveness and elections - make us cranky and not in a loving mood. So, it's no wonder that divorce filings are skyrocketing! Here to tell us all about it is Beverly Hills' top divorce attorney Alexandra Leichter. She has countless years of experience in divorce, child custody, child and spousal support, domestic violence and division of property. Needless to say, in Beverly Hills, where there are many big personalities and egos, she has seen it all - in terms of high conflict cases. Her phone hasn't stopped ringing since the pandemic began and the problems aren't pretty. She'll take you behind the scenes and onto the battlefields, and hopefully this will make you think twice before throwing in the towel.
Dr. Carole believes that everyone should become knowledgeable about all the possible treatments for Covid19, so that they can - in consultation with their doctor - choose what's best for them. However, Dr. Carole, believes in prevention first! Since the beginning of the pandemic, she has been reminding people, in daily media interviews, that the best option is to strengthen your immune system so you don't catch Coronavirus to begin with! She recommends: nutritious food, vitamins, supplements, sleep, exercise, sun, stress relievers (from aromatherapy to dancing in your own living room), and at least one hour of laughter a day! Today's guest, Susan Moss, talks about her new book, Covid19: A Natural Approach. It was written with co-author Dan Marquez, a scientist. Susan has been motivated to try to save lives from her days as a teen lifeguard, to helping to start a college suicide prevention center, to saving her own life from cancer and writing two bestselling books about it.
Kamala Harris wasn't really a household name throughout most of America until she was nominated by the Democratic Party for Vice-President. Yet it is especially important for everyone to get to know who she is because Joe Biden, the Democratic Party's Presidential nominee is not fit enough-mentally or physically-to last four years. This means whoever is VP would likely shoulder much of the responsibilities and take over at some point during the term. So, who is Kamala Harris? Today's guest, Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt, PhD (aka Dr. Chaps), a former State Representative (R-CO) and author, takes us back to Kamala's earliest days in politics and how she traded sex for a political head start. Her first move was to have an extra-marital affair with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, who not only gave her two six-figure political appointments, but escorted her on his arm to hobnob at political events, introducing her to key figures who would later finance her political aspirations.
What has America come to that we need a President's Executive Order to assure free speech on college campuses-former bastions of free speech and debate? How are students supposed to learn if they're prevented from exploring all ideas? Sadly, U.S. campuses have become violently intolerant to anyone expressing Conservative views. Ironically, U.C. Berkeley, once the origin of the Free Speech Movement, is now making headlines for the physical attack of a student trying to recruit others into a Conservative student group. Today's guest, Dr. Michael Busler, a public policy analyst, economic expert and university professor of finance, explains how the college world has turned topsy turvy and the surreal danger it poses for free speech, free thought and democracy itself. He also explores differences between capitalism, socialism and communism, why millennials are finding socialism trendy and how this could signal the demise of forces that built America into a leading economic power.
Each year the Anniversary of 9/11 gets ignored more and more by media and public commemorations. Yet the psychological impact of the most traumatic attack on America is not only still with us-it’s growing! Dr. Carole, also known as The Terrorist Therapist® (www.terroristtherapist.com), is outraged-and explains why you should be, too-that this year, for the 19th Anniversary, the ceremony at Ground Zero will be a shadow of its former self-and there was even some question as to whether the light beams commemorating the victims were going to shine at all! The blame was put on Covid19, but this is a sorry excuse! Want to know how the memory of 9/11 is still affecting you? Why people want to bury it? How 9/11 has caused us to feel like abused children? What today's politics and riots have to do with 9/11? Whether there is still a risk of terror attacks? Why you should talk to your kids about terrorism? Hear Osama's porn & which President his niece says will protect against terror best!
If migrants hadn't been allowed to swarm Europe, the Paris terrorist attacks might never have happened, or at least they could have been lessened or delayed while authorities got a better handle on the plot in formation. Yet, despite the ongoing overrun of Europe with migrants - amongst whom terrorists are hiding - Obama is putting out more welcome mats for over 10,000 Syrian 'refugees' to enter the U.S. The more ISIS terrorists who come to our shores in sheep's clothing, the closer we are to a Paris attack. Today's guest, Dan Perkins, is a foreign policy contributing writer, terror analyst and author of The Brotherhood of the Red Nile Trilogy. He warns us that our government is pushing fast forward on our destruction by ignoring that they are ISIS, not refugees.
Coronavirus has forced all of us to think about the most taboo topic in Western civilization: death! Facing our own mortality - and in lockdown no less, where there's no escape from these dark thoughts - has been very disturbing and unsettling. What do you think happens when you die? Clouds and harps and angels? Today's guest, Nanci Danison, J.D., knows from firsthand experience. She was a successful trial attorney with a national health law practice until, at 43, she 'died' during an invasive radiological procedure before breast cancer surgery. Since she's returned from the afterlife, she's been devoting her time to creating books, CDs and DVDs, in order to share memories of her personal experience and help people become less fearful of death. These include: Answers from the Afterlife, The Purpose of Life, Create A New Reality-Move Beyond Law of Attraction Theory, and more.
Are the police going extinct? Can they be saved? How and why did they become endangered? Whose bright idea was it to 'defund the police' - especially at the same time as inmates are being let out of jails and prisons? And who you gonna call when you're being robbed? raped? murdered? or when there's the next terror attack? Today's guest, Sergeant Betsy Brantner Smith, spokesperson for the National Police Association, will answer these questions and more - like: how do the police continue to put themselves on the line every day, risking their lives when it's not just the usual criminals out to get them, but protesters, rioters and looters? This is certainly not what they signed up for when they entered the Police Academy with visions of serving and protecting their communities. How is their morale? How are they coping? What are their plans for the future?
Ghislaine Maxwell has become the woman we love to hate for her privileged life and her alleged role of Madame - procuring young girls for Jeffrey Epstein to sexually exploit. But, what if there was more, a lot more? If there is anyone who knows, it's today's guest, Dylan Howard. He's a media executive extraordinaire and author of Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales, as well as several other literary tell-alls. Ghislaine sits in jail while the world watches documentaries that all but convict her and we wonder whether she'll be doomed to the same fate as Epstein, a mysterious 'suicide' to cover up what she knows about whom....
Before covid19, homelessness was the pandemic in the headlines. So, whatever happened to news about the homeless? Since coronavirus hit, have they been forgotten or have they been more cared about than ever - or is it something in between? Today's guest, Michael Fischer, President of New York's Central Park South Civic Association, is at the heart of the homeless crisis and takes us behind the scenes.
Lincoln, Columbus, Jefferson... even Jesus Christ! Statues are being toppled, defaced and destroyed by mobs all over America! Even statues that have nothing to do with racism! Why? Today's guest, David Thomas Roberts, founder of 2x Monuments (2xmonuments.org) explains the madness behind this destruction of American history. Although many in America are preoccupied by Coronavirus and feel helpless to do anything about this pillaging, Mr. Roberts' organization is reconstructing twice as many statues as have been destroyed by partnering with landowners, artists and sculptors and accepting donations to rebuild our heritage. This is about more than statues, it's about saving our country from politicians, radicals and misled mobs who are trying to destroy it by destroying symbols of our culture.
Coronavirus and Covid can be devastating for humans, but have you wondered about what impact it can have on animals? Today's guest, Jean Shafiroff, the Ambassador of the American Humane Society, tells us all about how the pandemic is affecting our furry friends. She talks about the dogs and zoo animals who tested positive for Covid, and helps us understand how to protect our pets if we test positive. She tells us about the latest research regarding whether we can catch Covid from our pets. We also discuss the impact of the pandemic on animal shelters: the increase in adoptions of pets and the anticipated surrender of them due to financial difficulties or people leaving lockdown. We also discuss the advantages of adopting a pet, especially in difficult times like these, when many of us are feeling sad and lonely. Ms. Shafiroff tells us how she become involved in raising millions of dollar to take care of animals, including with her Feed the Hungry Animals campaign.
Dr. Carole coined the word COVICIDE to mean when fear and desperation related to coronavirus cause you to commit suicide! Unfortunately, there's a growing number of people who are driven to search for a way out because of things related to coronavirus and the draconian measures being taken in the face of it. Today, she'll talk about all the reasons a person might contemplate suicide during these times and what to do about it. You know Dr. Carole as a psychiatrist, forensic psychiatrist, author, TV personality and so on, but she also has credentials that make her an expert on coronavirus. She is not only a Board Certified Psychiatrist, with a Masters in Public Health, she’s a recipient of an NIMH Fellowship in Epidemiology for her UCLA research on how to use the media to to prevent and treat physical and mental disorders.
Today, Dr. Carole recounts the cautionary tale of CHAZ (Seattle's Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone)-a part of the city taken over by protesters, rioters and radicals, that was predicted by George Orwell in his dystopian novel Animal Farm. Though Seattle's mayor kept claiming it was merely a summer of love event, in fact, it turned deadly-especially at night. Since one of the protesters' demands was to 'Defund the Police', they didn't allow police to enter and protect people from being raped or killed! After waiting far too long-and not until the rioters came to her house-the mayor closed it down, but the damage was already done-not only to the people and businesses-but to America as a whole, because anarchists all over the country were allowed to see that they could try this at home-and hope to terrify everyone to make their point! We need to remember this tale, so any future Animal Farms get stopped before they start!
George Floyd's murder by a Minneapolis cop has set off a firestorm of rage and violence - a lot of it directed at the police, with cries of racism and brutality. Today's guest, Police Chief Jim Ritz, a 'top cop' with many years of experience and accolades to his credit, and a professor of criminal justice, as well, will take us behind the scenes and tell us what's really going on and what can be done to fix it. Most cops are inspired to follow this calling by having seen a cop come to school to talk about his job, or having been helped by a cop growing up, or following in their family's footsteps. They don't go through years of study and sacrifice, putting their life on the line each day, to express racism. Yet there are a few bad apples....
Israel has taken strong steps to get ahead of the Coronavirus and has had only 308 deaths (1%) from Covid at this time-while NY has had over 20,000 deaths! Today's guest, David Rubin, former mayor of Shiloh, and founder of Shiloh Israel's Children's Fund, gives us insights into their successful methods of containing this pandemic. From shutting the borders immediately to putting Covid positive people in Coronavirus Hotels to keeping elders safe to lockdowns, masks and social distancing, Israelis have come together to protect each other. They also endorsed (temporarily) a controversial method: tracking coronavirus positive people by technology usually reserved for tracking terrorists. Nonetheless, their swift and effective methods, and a citizenry used to coming together in the face of crises (terror attacks), worked to make their death toll a model for other countries to aspire to. Hear what the U.S. and the rest of the world can learn from them.

Got stress? Who doesn't? Whether it's finding a soulmate in this crazy online dating world, worrying about family, friends or finances, or about terrorism and other chaos in the world, we are stressed to the max these days. Today's guest, Pamela Robins, author of Meditating with Animals, has the answer. After being faced with a relentless series of major life challenges, including the death of her mother, her own cancer diagnosis, vocal cord paralyzation, a divorce and letting go of her life as she knew it in order to find herself, she saw her animals were instrumental in getting her through it all. When she was strong again, she wanted to return to them the extraordinary gifts they had given her so that they would not be depleted of their own health and vitality. And so Meditating with Animals and The Animal Method were born. And today she is sharing these insights with us.
Just when we thought it was safe to come outside, there are even worse things threatening us than coronavirus! The lockdowns have made us lose our humanity and protests are being hijacked by people who want to destroy America! Dr. Carole helps you to understand the psychology behind the riots so you can survive the insanity and help your kids to survive, as well.
Dr. Carole continues her series of episodes geared to helping you get through the Coronavirus/Covid-19 pandemic with a healthy mind and body. Today, Dr. Carole puts you in touch with your feelings about whether you have Quarantine Fatigue or you Don't Want Quarantine to End. One of the reasons you may not want it to end is that you're not sure you're ready to face the world because you suspect you may be having symptoms - like anxiety, depression or insomnia - that will make it harder to succeed in the 'new normal'. So, Dr. Carole then warns you about the addictive nature of some medications you might be tempted to try, and steers you in the direction of the best kinds of treatment for various psychological problems.
Did you ever wonder: What if we give a 'Reopening' and nobody comes? Your personality will determine how you'll respond when you're finally allowed to leave your home. Dr. Carole discusses the 5 ways people will react to a loosening of lockdown restrictions so you can figure out which one matches you, your family members, friends and colleagues. Don't wait 'til the door opens to know how you'll behave-it's best to know now, so you can plan ahead. Dr. Carole also gives you advice about your kids - their emotions and what's best to do about school. And she looks at other current issues regarding Coronavirus and Covid-19.
Do today's headlines seem like a combination of science fiction, horror and worse? Are you thinking the world is going crazy? Today, Dr. Carole looks at some of the craziest stories to reassure you that you're not alone in wondering why things are so topsy turvy.
Today, we pick up where we left off with Pastor Paula White, on last week's show, as she continues to take us on her inspirational journey. We rejoin her towards the end of her nightmare childhood and the beginning of her finding something greater, a loving God who had been taking care of her the whole time. Then we head towards the present and the timeliness of these words of wisdom during these challenging days. Pastor Paula is the author of an awe-inspiring book, Something Greater: Finding Triumph Over Trials. She shares -in the book and on today's show- her most intimate experiences, in order to encourage us to keep looking for the light at the end of the tunnel. It's no wonder that she's the Personal Minister and Spiritual Adviser to President Donald Trump. Today's show is Part Two of her story and her message. (Be sure to check out Part One.)

Protests are erupting all over the U.S., demanding that mayors and governors open up cities and states so we can go back to life as we once knew it. Why is this happening now? Is it about time or are these people selfish 'covidiots'? Either way, hear how we're scaring ourselves to death and what to do about it. Dr. Carole is not just a Board Certified psychiatrist (M.D.), she also has a Masters in Public Health and is a recipient of a fellowship award from NIMH for her UCLA research in epidemiology and the use of media to prevent and treat mental and physical illnesses. So, these unique credentials are behind the help she brings to you.
Psychiatry has had a dramatic history and it is still unfolding. Unfortunately, the world is becoming more chaotic and less well-grounded in nurturing family nests. Will psychiatry be able to keep up the pace of healing damaged psyches from broken childhoods and an ever-more challenging world? Today's guest, renowned psychiatrist, Jeffrey Lieberman, author of Shrinks: The Untold Story of Psychiatry, will give us his well-traveled perspective.
Dr. Carole continues her exposes of truth and lies surrounding coronavirus and covid-19. Today, she tackles medics and medicines. What isn't mainstream media telling you? Remember, Dr. Carole isn't just a Board Certified psychiatrist, an M,D. licensed in NY and CA, she also has a Masters in Public Health and was awarded a grant by the NIMH for research at UCLA in epidemiology: how to use the media to prevent and treat physical and psychological disorders. So, she knows what she's talking about, and she's working hard to help you stay well by telling you the truth instead of scaring you to death. What is really going on with doctors, nurses and other medical personnel? How are politics robbing you of medications that could cure coronavirus? How are conflicting stories making you sick? What can you do about it? Hear this and more.
Dr. Carole continues putting Coronavirus and Covid19 on her couch-keeping you updated with the latest information you need to know to save yourself and your loved ones from the pandemic. Today, she talks about dangerous pranks people are playing, how the World Health Organization is being hypocritical by urging you to play video games despite their having named it as an addiction and mental disorder, what you can do during isolation to stay sane, and more.

We know the coronavirus is a flu-like respiratory illness that can cause fever, cough and shortness of breath. But did you know it causes psychological symptoms, too - in people who don’t have it! Carole Lieberman, M.D., M.P.H. is not only a Board Certified Psychiatrist, with a Masters in Public Health, she’s a recipient of an NIMH Fellowship in Epidemiology for her UCLA research on how to use the media to prevent and treat physical and mental disorders. It's this background that has led her to formulate the Coronavirus Stress Test to determine if you have Coronavirus Stress Syndrome, an overreaction which could weaken your immune system and make you more vulnerable to the virus. Today, she will share this test with you, so you can determine if you have Coronavirus Stress Syndrome, and then she'll help you take steps to 'cure' it.

Society is on a runaway train: with ever-changing technology and lifestyles, global violence, volatile economies, single parent homes, stunning headlines... and more. It's beyond stressful for adults to cope with, imagine what it's like for kids. Today's guest, Bob Brill, award-winning journalist and broadcaster, is also a prolific author. By contrasting two of his books, Tales of My Baseball Youth: A Child of the 60's (a memoir) and Al Kabul: Home Grown Terrorist (a novel) --the disparity in childhood today vs. yesteryear's Norman Rockwell paintings, is chillingly apparent. Though baseball is still the national pastime because it resonates most deeply with America's soul, far fewer kids have the opportunity to play because more fatherless homes have meant fewer dads who are coaches. And the backdrop of kids' lives is now more closely aligned with the picture Brill paints of homegrown terrorists. Dr. Carole shares tips on how we can slow the train and bring back more wholesome times.
Do you ever ask yourself why some people-who have had even worse hardships to overcome than you-become super-successful, while you still struggle? Today's guest, Terry Giles, author of The Fifteen Percent: Overcoming Hardships and Achieving Lasting Success, has figured it out by analyzing how he, himself, climbed to the top (the 15% who are high achievers). He shares his journey and advice. Born in the Ozarks, to an alcoholic father, who was often in jail, he went to 21 different schools. Though a daunting challenge to perpetually be the new kid, he turned it around by teaching himself to embrace change and negotiate with bullies. His mom kept his spirits up by pretending to read his palm and telling him he had a bright future. Hear how an impending tornado taught him how to overcome fear, and more. Giles turned obstacles into stepping stones to success: as a criminal defense attorney and then as an even more successful serial entrepreneur. Now he wants to help you rise to the top.
Ever wonder if you have a good lawsuit but don’t pursue it because you’re intimidated by lawyers or courts? Maybe you’ve been a plaintiff or defendant and wished you knew how to navigate the system. Today’s guest, top lawyer, Francine Tone is the author of What Every Good Lawyer Wants You to Know: An Insider's Guide on How to Reduce Stress, Reduce Costs and Get the Most From Your Lawyer. She not only shares wisdom but her personal tragedies that made her decide to be a protector of people’s rights, like her role model Perry Mason.
The Joker movie provides an entree into today's discussion of Incels (Involuntarily Celibate), the boy crisis and mental illness, with guest, Warren Farrell, PhD. What do these concepts have to do with each other? The answer is not as far-fetched as you might think. Dr. Farrell is the author of a new book entitled, The Boy Crisis: Why Our Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It. The Joker (played by Joaquin Phoenix in an Oscar-worthy performance) is the embodiment of these problems and illustrates how painful they are and what the potential consequences are in an uncaring society. You may be wondering why Dr. Carole, a foremost anti-media violence activist, is recommending that you go see The Joker, which some have complained is too violent. She begins the show by describing how its birds eye view into the mind of a man ostracized by society is more important than whatever non-gratuitous violence there is. Indeed, society needs more compassion towards all of these issues.
Dr. Carole puts today's headlines on her couch-to analyze and rant about them! It's everything you won't hear on mainstream media about: Impeachment (how to talk to your kids about impeachment & where's the anonymous whistleblower?), Coronavirus (China's coverups and America's ill-conceived plan to rescue only a few of its citizens ), Meghan and Harry (how he got seduced by a bad girl, how it's destroying him, and why her dad is calling him whipped), Kobe (how people are really feeling and not saying, and how special treatment may have caused the tragedy) and Harvey Weinstein (why plaintiffs' fawning response doesn't prove he's guilty). You may not agree with Dr. Carole's opinions, but you'll enjoy her telling it like it is with no holds barred.
Accusers of Harvey Weinstein, #MeToo and #TimesUp have opened the floodgates of rage against sexual harassment, sexual assault, inequality... and men in general! The hatred of men by women is called misandry - and today's guest, Dr. Paul Nathanson, has defined misandry with his books, research and lectures (which always draw protests, by the way). Dr. Nathanson and Dr. Carole walk this minefield of the war between the sexes, in the context of current events and the Golden Globes, as a sociological snapshot of the state of affairs between men and women. And it ain't pretty. Dr. Nathanson gives an historical perspective of this war, since he has been studying it for the past 30 years. Dr. Carole warns that there will be a 'BLACKlash' from men to the overpowering sea of women-dressed-in-black at the Golden Globes. Was this a funeral for men? Where will this all end? There are manufacturers of female and male sex robots who are anticipating the answer.
No matter how bad your life has been, you don't have to stay stuck on the same path. Today's guest, James Sweigert, author of If You Say So: My Story and How I Changed It To Save My Life, is living proof that changing the story you tell about yourself can turn a traumatic childhood into a successful Hollywood career. Sweigert takes you on his personal journey: from his childhood horrors, alcohol and drug addiction, homelessness, suicide attempt and more to how he turned his life around by changing the story he tells others and himself - from dark pessimism to visions of success that he ultimately achieved. And he shares his secrets so you can do it, too.
Today's show is particularly timely, given that we are on the brink of war with Iran, a country that has been the biggest perpetrator of terrorism in Israel (and other countries). A few years ago, Penny S. Tee thought she was simply taking a trip to Israel to celebrate her son's Bar Mitzvah. Instead, when bombs started raining down on them, she and her family had eye-opening and life-changing experiences. Penny shares her journey and reveals highlights of her book, Blasted from Complacency: A Journey from Terror to Transformation in Israel. It is Penny’s compelling, true account of her harrowing ordeal and how it jolted her out of inaction and caused her to rethink her beliefs. She exposes the terrifying reality faced daily by Israelis and Palestinians, as they struggle to live their lives under the constant threat of attack. A gripping chronicle of one woman’s ongoing quest for peace both within herself and in the world around her, Blasted from Complacency is a revelation.
Though nothing could compensate Holocaust victims or their families for the atrocities that the Nazis committed, the reclaiming of family treasures stolen by the Nazis brings some sense of pride and peace. The movie, Woman in Gold, tells the story of one woman's quest to recover a stolen family portrait. Today's guest, E. Randol Schoenberg, (played by Ryan Reynolds in the movie), is the attorney who took her case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and the Austrian judicial system - and won. And guest, Simon Goodman, just like The Monuments Men, is in the process of tracing his grandparent's art collection, stolen during the Holocaust. Their true struggles are both heroic and bittersweet.
Have you noticed people don't seem to be feeling holiday spirit-at least not the Hallmark card or Norman Rockwell kind? Dr. Carole helps you understand why it's harder this year and gives advice on how to fake it til you make it, so your holidays can be happier! Some holiday stress comes from not knowing what to wish people without offending them-like a famous comedienne who was reported to her boss for wishing someone Merry Christmas! We're too PC these days and it's making people afraid to say anything that might be considered offensive-like the radio host who was fired for a joke about wanting news of a shooting to interrupt the monotony of impeachment. Bad taste, yes, but just a joke. Other news guilty of dampening spirits include the Golden Globes backlash to the #MeToo movement, Notre Dame closed for Xmas, Melody Bannister's kids not yet saved, and a terrorist being called Porn-Stash. Dr. Carole ends the show with a feel-good story you'll want to tell others to cheer them up!
When the local police wouldn't save Melody Bannister's kids from ritual abuse by a cult, she took them and ran! Still on the run, they are in danger of being killed by their sex traffickers who don't want their abuse exposed! Dr. Carole is the forensic psychiatrist who evaluated them and finds their story credible! Hear the TRUTH from others who also know - like their attorney and like the advocate for victims of family courts who has been helping them! And find out how you can help.
As one of the first missing children to be featured on a milk carton, no one would blame Kim Casey Cobb if she got stuck in victimhood. But, instead of being stuck, she found a way out - and has written about it in her new book: Stuck - A Way Out. She shares her story with us today. Kim was abducted at age 9 by her dad, who was in the midst of a custody dispute with her mom. He took her, and her brother, on a frightening 7-year undercover romp throughout America. Kim had to keep her identity secret, as they fled from place to place, barely one step away from being found. She could have stayed a victim for the rest of her life, but she eventually found the strength to break free. She's now quite successful and grateful that she has been able to make her dreams come true.
Dr. Carole helps you get ahead - not only ahead of the Holiday Blues taking you under, but the Holiday Crazies-the acting out of people suffering from Holiday Blues to hurt others. First, she explains what might be making you feel blue during the 2019 winter holidays. Then she goes on to tell you stories of two people with the Holiday Crazies - one on each side of the pond. There's the lonely Pennsylvania mom charged with hanging her two young children and all the red flags she was raising ahead of time that unfortunately were ignored. Next, Dr. Carole reveals ironies in the story of the London Bridge terrorist that you likely may have missed. And he was still a terrorist at heart, provoked by ISIS and AlQaeda to strike during the holidays. Finally, she gives you advice about how to better handle the pitfalls of the season for yourself and your loved ones.
Inspired by 9/11 to protect his country, Tony Lutz left his successful career and beautiful wife and children to join the army. On patrol in Iraq, Corporal Lutz was killed by a sniper. When his dad, George Lutz, got the devastating news and tried to begin to heal by talking with other Gold Star families, he found that what was most important to them was for their loved ones' sacrifice to never be forgotten. Today, George tells us the story of how his son was inspired to to make a difference, and about how George, himself, was inspired to found Honor and Remember, a non-profit organization that leaves a legacy in the form of a national symbol: the Honor and Remember flag. He's determined to have this flag flown on every flagpole in America. So far, 26 states have adopted it and there are bills before Congress for national adoption of the flag. His organization has presented 4,000 handmade personalized flags to families and has a long waiting list. Hear his chilling and important story.
Today's show takes you behind the scenes and into the life of the number one Donald Trump impersonator in the world: John Di Domenico. Find out what made him grow up to want to become an impersonator and how the fates conspired to make him a Trump impersonator - from the time Trump was a celebrity businessman to host of The Apprentice to candidate for president - and now as The President. But, impersonating President Trump today is a risky business. Since John won both the national and international competitions for who does Trump best, he is very convincing. So, it is no wonder that there are women whispering seductively in John's ear, and countless people asking John to make laws favorable to their interests. But, there are also men trying to assassinate him - literally. Hear how John - criss-crossing the country doing shows during election season - knew, before the media, that Trump was going to win the election.
In commemoration of Veteran's Day and November being National Veterans and Military Families Month, today's guest is a decorated Vietnam vet with a unique inspirational story. Duke Talbott, author of a new memoir, Appalachian Free Spirit: A Recovery Journey, takes us on his adventures, from the Peace Corps in Somalia, to serving in Vietnam, to his return home when his problems also came home to roost. He tried self-medicating his undiagnosed Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder with alcohol and drugs, until he finally found the help he needed. What's especially interesting about Duke's story is that the trauma of being on the front lines in Somalia and Vietnam combined to make his PTSD especially severe. And it wasn't physical injury behind his PTSD, rather it was the moral challenges he had to face there that went against his family values: from racism to murder. Hear how he 'fought' his way back to become a college professor, city council member and mayor of a town in West Virginia.
Whatever your impression is of Bipolar Disorder, today's guest, Kenton Hall, will disrupt it. We travel to the UK to chat with him about his new book and his life. His book, Bisection: A More or Less Accurate Account of Bipolar Parenting and Twin Wrangling, has been critically acclaimed. He writes that though there have been countless tomes on mental health and raising children, only his and Harry Potter have similar themes, and his story is shorter and contains fewer owls. His reason for writing it is not to give the reader self-help, and not only to entertain, but to help people to understand mental illness and to offer hope for others living with Bipolar Disorder. He gives an unflinching account of his life, from boyhood in Canada with a father eventually diagnosed as Manic-Depressive and being made to live in a cult, to his penniless flight to the UK, where his talents as an author, actor, musician, director and parent blossomed, as well as his Bipolar Disorder.
It used to be so easy: pink for girls and blue for boys - and girls will be girls and boys will be boys was a common saying. Now it's yellow for non binaries? These days, too many parents think they're being cool and trendy to encourage their girls to be boys and boys to be girls. The result? A very confused generation. Today's guest, Michelle Cretella, M.D., President of the American College of Pediatricians, says parents who jump to conclusions and bring their child to gender clinics, the first time a girl seems like a tomboy, or a boy seems effeminate, the rush down the road to hormones and surgery, are committing child abuse. Sometimes it's because mom really wanted a girl and she got a boy, or other unconscious motives of parents. When kids say they feel they were born in the wrong body, it's a cry for help. They may have been abused or had other trauma that is making them feel this way.Today's show is not politically correct, but it is psychologically and medically correct.
When you hear the word schizophrenia you probably think of a homeless person or a character in the movie Cuckoo's Nest. Well, get ready for your stereotype to be turned on its ear. Today's guest, Mindy Tsai, has been diagnosed as schizophrenic, and also has a masters degree from an Ivy League university, and a top job in a digital health firm, as well as friends and a charming personality. And she's the author of a just-released memoir, Becoming Whole. In 2004, Mindy began hearing a voice in her head, someone she called Joe. She found signs everywhere that seemed to hold mysterious clues meant only for her. What she didn't know at the time was that she was experiencing her first schizophrenic episode. For the next decade, she oscillated between two worlds - a normal life and a secret voice-filled one -- until she began the journey of merging her two worlds back into one. Today, she takes you on her journey and hopes that her story will help end the stigma of mental illness.
The Joker movie provides an entree into today's discussion of Incels (Involuntarily Celibate), the boy crisis and mental illness, with guest, Warren Farrell, PhD. What do these concepts have to do with each other? The answer is not as far-fetched as you might think. Dr. Farrell is the author of a new book entitled, The Boy Crisis: Why Our Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It. The Joker (played by Joaquin Phoenix in an Oscar-worthy performance) is the embodiment of these problems and illustrates how painful they are and what the potential consequences are in an uncaring society.

Indeed, society needs more compassion towards all of these issues.
Listen as Dr. Carole analyzes the Colorado movie murderer. What was his motivation? Is he mentally ill? What's up with his psychiatrist? Which Batman characters is he copycating? What does violent media have to do with it? What do his ads for hook-ups mean? Could he have been stopped? And more, as Dr. Carole puts James on her couch.
Today's show honors the 58 people murdered in Las Vegas, one year ago, at the hands of a madman, the countless others who were injured, and all of their families. Over 22,000 people delighted in the Route 91 Harvest Country Music Festival on October 1, 2017, until a tirade of bullets rang out from a window in the Mandalay Bay Hotel, turning it into the worst mass shooting in American history. But, the show doesn't just look back at tragedy, it also looks forward to healing, because that fateful day brought together today's guests, both victims of gun violence, Lisa Fine and Iris Sherman.

Climate Change hysteria has risen to a feverish pitch, growing each year since Al Gore's documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, hit theaters. If you believe those who speak the loudest, we're on the verge of extinction because of Global Warming. But not all scientists agree. Indeed, today's guest, Gregory Wrightstone, hopes to calm the hysteria with his new book, Inconvenient Facts: The Science That Al Gore Doesn't Want You to Know. Wrightstone is a geologist who describes himself as a climate contrarian. The latest Climate Change defender is a 16-year-old Swedish girl, Greta Thunberg, who dramatically lashed out at UN leaders for stealing her dreams and her childhood by not doing more to fix Global Warming. Indeed, she's been seized upon as the poster child for the movement, without examining what makes her tick. Her family's books have acknowledged she's suffering from psychological issues, but they prefer to blame them on Climate Change instead of their family psychodynamics.
Though Judge Brett Kavanaugh was finally appointed to the Supreme Court, much to the chagrin and hysteria of some in Congress, the campaign against him has yet to end. Today's guest, Ryan Lovelace, the author of Search and Destroy: Inside the Campaign Against Brett Kavanaugh, takes us behind the scenes to unravel the truth. Since the allegations of Christine Blasey Ford, in her testimony before Congress, failed to convince enough people that Kavanaugh was an attempted rapist, the same political forces behind her trotted out another alleged victim, Deborah Ramirez. The Kavanaugh-haters are afraid that his being on the Supreme Court endangers Roe v. Wade, but they would believe this of anyone President Trump nominated, despite no such proof. Dr. Carole, a forensic psychiatrist who's testified in countless cases of alleged sexual assault, finds it outrageous that some think these women should be believed just because they're women, and cases tried in the media instead of a courtroom.
On the 18th Anniversary of 9/11, Americans especially media and some politicians seem more intent than ever on sanitizing terrorism and sweeping it under the rug. This was nowhere more apparent than at a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing, ironically held at the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum. You would think 9/11 was caused by drunk pilots who lost their way instead of radical Islamists trying to take over America. That day changed Dr. Caroles life. As a born and bred New Yorker, especially moved by the attack, she became The Terrorist Therapist, devoting herself to helping people keep calm and carry on in the face of terror. We are still suffering from the psychological impact of 9/11 and the ongoing threat of terrorism, evident by rising obesity, PTSD, anxiety, depression, insecurity, pessimism, insomnia, substance abuse and even suicide. Dr. Carole is the author of the award winning book, Lions and Tigers and Terrorists, Oh My How to Protect Your Child in a Time of Terror.
America used to be the home of two major parties: Republicans and Democrats, but it has sadly morphed into the Pro Trumpers and Never Trumpers. This encourages people to make decisions based on what their opinion is of a President (who is assaulted daily in the media), rather than on the issues. Todays guest is Judge Jeanine Pirro, whose voice, in her new book, Radicals, Resistance, and Revenge: The Lefts Plot to Remake America, clearly reflects her love of America. She passionately takes the reader through all of the major issues facing our country, explaining how we got to this critical point in our history, and trying to walk us back from the precipice of no return. Whatever your political views, she provides a balanced and well researched analysis that allows you to decide for yourself what you really think beyond a soundbite. America deserves better than an Animal Farm society, where decisions are based upon irresponsible caricatures, rather than in depth discussions.
Today we are piercing the veil of silence of the Metropolitan Correctional Center, by going behind the bars with guest Ziv Cohen, M.D., who has worked as a forensic psychiatrist examining inmates there. This is the jail whose incompetence allowed inmate Jeffrey Epstein to carry out his suicidal plans. Regardless of the criminal acts Epstein is accused of, no inmate deserves his lethal fate. Despite his risk factors for suicide, such as his fall from power and an opulent life to a jail cell, charged as a pedophile, public disgrace, and most significantly a recent prior suicide attempt, Epsteins fate was left to a doctoral-level psychologist-meaning an unlicensed one, who obviously did not have enough experience to recognize that he needed to be on 24/7 suicide watch, instead of being left in his cell with a bedsheet and a bunk bed to hang it from-with only 30-minute checks and guards who did not even do that. Mental health services in jails and prisons need to be upgraded for all inmates
To say former President Bill Clinton is a womanizer, or even a sex addict, is not news. But, you ain't heard nothing yet. Today's guest, Dolly Kyle, was 'Billy's' first and perhaps most enduring love. She recounts her story in her just-released book, Hillary-The Other Woman: A Political Memoir. Dolly met former president Clinton -Billy as she calls him- on a Hot Springs golf course when she was eleven and he was almost thirteen. It was love at first sight. Their friendship grew throughout high school and college. It became a decades-long affair that lasted despite marriages and politics all the way to the threshold of the White House—when she became a political liability, and he threatened to destroy her, as Hillary had done to so many of his other women over the years. Dolly's tale is both a love story and a story of survival, as she courageously comes forward with the truth.
Dr. Caroles experience as a forensic psychiatrist who has examined inmates in jails and prisons from Bellevue in New York to the Twin Towers in Los Angeles, analyzes every shred of evidence to discover whodunit and why. What reasons did Epstein have to commit suicide? Who was motivated to murder him? Whether it was suicide or murder, how could it have happened to a hi-profile prisoner in a New York jail? What are the correct procedures to follow if an inmate is suicidal? What kinds of suicide watch are there? Who should be making the decisions as to whether to keep someone on suicide watch or not? If he suicided, was it an assisted suicide and who is to blame? Were the supposedly sleeping guards really asleep? Could jail staff have been paid off to not keep serious suicide watch or not check on him? Who might have paid them and why? There are still countless unanswered questions and people with motive to provide a sheet and a bunk bed-an open invitation to suicide!
It used to be so easy: pink for girls and blue for boys - and girls will be girls and boys will be boys was a common saying. Now it's yellow for non binaries? These days, too many parents think they're being cool and trendy to encourage their girls to be boys and boys to be girls. The result? A very confused generation. Today's guest, Michelle Cretella, M.D., President of the American College of Pediatricians, says parents who jump to conclusions and bring their child to gender clinics, the first time a girl seems like a tomboy, or a boy seems effeminate, the rush down the road to hormones and surgery, are committing child abuse. Sometimes it's because mom really wanted a girl and she got a boy, or other unconscious motives of parents. When kids say they feel they were born in the wrong body, it's a cry for help. They may have been abused or had other trauma that is making them feel this way.Today's show is not politically correct, but it is psychologically and medically correct.
No one understands terrorism-from both the Muslim and Counterterrorism point of view-better than today's guest, Mubin Shaikh. He's the author of Undercover Jihadi: Inside the Toronto 18-Al Qaeda Inspired, Homegrown Terrorism in the West. But, his wise, enlightened perspective didn't come without life-threatening challenges. He shares his fascinating personal journey, from a little boy in a madrassa to a teen identity crisis, trying to balance his Muslim roots with his Canadian lifestyle, to being bit by the Jihadi bug in years preceding 9/11 and then feeling compelled to travel to the Middle East, where he learned true interpretations of the Koran, not the distorted version of Radical Islamists, to going undercover for the government and foiling the biggest terror plot Canada has ever seen, to founding a counterterrorism company of his own, Fusion Intel. If his story was made into a movie, people would find his courage and breadth of experiences hard to believe-but it is all true.
Would you get up at 3 AM to travel to the ocean for marathon swimming practice before school (or work)? Not if you weren't as dedicated as Angel More, a 16-year-old World Champion swimmer, who swims astounding distances to raise money for positive global change for children. She's the spokesperson for Children International, a global humanitarian non-profit organization that helps children and their families escape poverty. Today we get up close and personal with Angel, as Dr. Carole asks about her childhood, her family, school and what drives her to take on such challenging feats. At age 2 she began swimming. At age 10 she became the youngest girl to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. At age 11 she completed her first open swim (from Alcatraz to the San Francisco shore). She's the youngest person to complete the California Triple Crown of marathon swimming-3 open water solo swims. As she breaks records, she's raised over $58,000 for charity and her inspirational story has just begun.
You’ve undoubtedly heard lots of political controversy about whether to allow migrants to enter the United States, and whether to let them stay here. But, you probably haven’t heard about the medical risks they pose - some of which are life-threatening to the people who are around them. Today’s guest, Dr. Jane Orient, the Executive Director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, and author of several books, including Your Doctor is Not In, explains a whole smorgasbord of diseases that migrants are bringing into America, making us sick and sometimes killing us. This must be stopped.
Dr. Carole puts on her forensic psychiatrist expert witness hat to talk about murder: Florida vs Scott Nelson, now in its penalty phase, after finding him guilty of murdering Jennifer Fulford. Dr. Carole puts Nelson on her couch, taking us from his traumatic childhood including an abusive dad and schizophrenic mom, to his 25 years in prison where they 'treated me like an animal,' to the fateful day when he murdered Jennifer, whom he describes as 'collateral damage' after life turned him into a 'homicidal maniac.' Next, she talks about mayhem, the political divisiveness causing patriotism to fall to record lows-and the key players in today's headlines who are responsible, Colin Kaepernick and the Women's Soccer Team. Unbelievably Colin got Nike to withdraw their new Betsy Ross American flag sneaker from the market. The Women's Soccer Team dropped the American flag to take photos and rejected the President's invitation to the White House. She urges you to retweet her hashtag MakePatriotismCoolAgain.
Have you ever talked with anyone who's been diagnosed as schizophrenic? Today's guest, Lily Bennett (her pen name), has indeed been diagnosed with this mental illness. And her delightful, whimsical, intelligent conversation will destroy any stereotypes you've had about people with this disorder. That is the point of her new memoir, Diary of a Schizo Bitch - to break the stigma associated with mental illness. 'Lily' started out on the autism spectrum in special ed classes, though no one told her why she felt different and was bullied. At age 15, her house was engulfed by fire and the trauma of seeing her classmates stand by, laughing and taking photos, sent her down the road to psychosis. She was primarily diagnosed as having schizophrenia, made manifest through PTSD or by some of the same genes as caused her autism, and sometimes told that it was her obsession with a ouija board that brought on the voices and other psychotic symptoms. Today, she's a therapist herself, helping others.
Do you ever think about having plastic surgery? Today's guest, Dr. Mark Constantian, is a plastic surgeon and author, who gives us a lot to think about before going under the knife. His latest book is Childhood Abuse, Body Shame & Addictive Plastic surgery: The Face of Trauma. He was spurred on to research these issues by patients who had rhinoplasties ('nose jobs') and became distraught afterwards, despite their nose coming out perfectly. He ultimately found that childhood trauma and/or neglect can lead to Body Dysmorphic Disorder, a psychiatric diagnosis where a person has a distorted impression of what their body looks like and they obsess over real or imagined flaws. Ironically, we are talking about this on the anniversary of Michael Jackson's death, whose childhood traumas led to his addiction to rhinoplasties. Dr. Carole adds her Freudian analysis about the nose being a 'displacement upwards' of the penis, meaning: conflicts about one's sexuality are often focused on the nose.
Can a child's fate be sealed by age 7? Yes, if his teachers give up on him and his parents believe his teachers' claims that he is unteachable. Fortunately, the story that today's guest shares has a happier ending. Lois Letchford was told that her son, Nicholas, had no future because his ear infections and hearing problem delayed his language development, and caused dyslexia and other learning problems. But, Lois refused to believe that he was doomed. With a background in education, she developed creative ways to make learning fun for him. Gradually, he not only caught up to his peers, he ultimately received a scholarship to Oxford and earned a doctorate in mathematics. Then he earned a Masters in health economics. Today, Ms. Letchford shares her personal journey with Nicholas and the challenges she helped him overcome. Her inspirational story can also be found in her book, Reversed: A Memoir.
When we think of adopting a pet from an animal shelter, we think of doing good by rescuing a stray animal, but we don't realize how we are actually rescuing ourselves. Today's guests tell stories of mutual rescues. Purple Heart veteran Josh Marino shares how his life was changed forever by the love of a stray kitten. Wounded in Iraq when an explosive detonated, he suffered concussions that led to constant headaches, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Josh reached the point where he decided to end his life. As he sat outside his barracks in the rain, he heard a cry from the bushes and found a tiny cat looking up at him. Moved deeply that this little soul had found him just when he needed someone most, he changed his mind and decided to live to care for this cat he named Scout. Carol Novello is the founder of Mutual Rescue, a national initiative that highlights the life-changing power of human-animal relationships through their film series, including Eric & Peety and Josh and Scout.
Dr. Carole puts on her Forensic Psychiatrist/Expert Witness hat (work she's done for hundreds of criminal and civil cases) to analyze 3 trials in the news. In San Diego, NFL player Kellen Winslow Jr. is accused by 5 women of rape and other sexual assaults. Hear why Dr. Carole says: unless the jury is swayed by his celebrity status, Winslow will be in for a rude awakening. His arrogant defense attorneys tried to tear down the victims-as if being mentally ill or homeless is more of a crime than their being raped. In Texas, Brenda Delgado is on trial for hiring a hitman to murder the new girlfriend of her ex-boyfriend, Dr. Ricky. Brenda is a woman scorned, obsessed with her ex, and hoping he will return to her once his new girlfriend is dead. In South Carolina, a jury ignored Timothy Jones' mental illness to find him guilty of murdering his 5 children. His wife's abandonment triggered memories of being abandoned by his mom and sent him into a psychotic tailspin that ended in tragedy.
Though they are hiding in the shadows, an alarming number of children are growing up in homes where they are abused and neglected by parents who put their own needs first-whether by addiction, abandonment, sex or narcissism. But, today's guests are proof that there is hope. Scott Glabb, author of A Saint in the City: Coaching At-Risk Kids to be Champions, used to be one of those kids. But, he pulled his life together to become a winning wrestling coach at an inner city school-and a savior for many kids whose life was heading in the wrong direction. Anthony Reveles is 19 years old, and is one of Coach Glabb's success stories. Anthony courageously shares what it was like growing up: abandoned by his biological dad, abused by his mom, stepdad and siblings, surrounded by drug and alcohol abuse, and finally homeless. He was headed for trouble until he joined Coach Glabb's wrestling team, took the coach's wisdom to heart, and now has a bright future ahead of him.
Does anxiety stop you in your tracks when you think of following your dream? It used to stop today's guest, Gloria Squitiro, until she started fighting for things she believed in - including her husband's grassroots campaign for Mayor of Kansas City, Missouri. Her hard work and newly acquired fearlessness helped her husband, Mark Funkhouser, win the mayor's race. But, neither of them were prepared for the cutthroat politics that ensued. Gloria became the only First Lady in America who was legally banned from City Hall while her husband was in office. Since her husband had been a well-respected city auditor for 18 years, their political foes ultimately targeted her for their scandalous plot that the media called 'Mammygate'. Gloria survived to tell the tale in her new memoir, May Cause Drowsiness and Blurred Vision: The Side Effects of Bravery. It is her hope that her story will inspire other women to stand up and not be shut up, so that they can pursue their dreams, too.
You can't win a war when you won't define who the enemy really is. But, previous administrations and their political correctness (or underlying agendas) have put us behind the eight ball when it comes to fighting terrorism by not telling it like it is. Most notably, President Obama refused to allow Homeland Security to call a terrorist, a terrorist, define who they really are and take appropriate action against them. Fortunately, today's guests, Philip Haney and Art Moore, have written See Something, Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government's Submission to Jihad. In this book, Haney –a charter member of DHS with previous experience in the Middle East–and co-author Art Moore, expose just how deeply the submission, denial and deception run. Haney's insider, eyewitness account exposes how the federal government capitulated to an enemy within and punished those who try to warn them of the truth. At least President Trump calling them Radical Islamists is a start.
What happens to kids who are abused or neglected?They end up with mental illnesses, dropping out of school, sometimes in foster home placement, not getting the psychiatric treatment they need, and ending up in prison. Indeed a new study reveals that over half of the inmates in U.S. prisons have a mental illness with roots in childhood. Today's guests are proof! They urge society to wake up and start helping these kids when warning signs appear in elementary school. Kristina Kopic is an Advocacy Content Specialist at the Ruderman Family Foundation, who conducted this study. Tara Nuevelle shares her personal story, which illustrates this trajectory. She grew up in a severely abusive home. Her social worker, foster parents and many others were blind to her depression, anxiety and PTSD. She went on to become a victim of domestic violence, and ended up in prison. Now she's the Founder and CEO of Who Speaks For Me? an organization which educates the justice system about trauma.
Wish there were more good news stories instead of all the hate in the headlines? Well, today's show is for you. Gary Van Dyke had a successful career in radio and television for decades, until his life suddenly changed at 55. Losing his children in a custody battle, he began traveling the world to take care of other children-starving orphans! After discovering the greatest problem for abandoned children was lack of food, he founded Food For Orphans. This organization has delivered 8 million meals in 16 countries. But, not long after he started this charity, tragedies befell him. His wife developed breast cancer, he developed prostate cancer, then melanoma and then Parkinson's Disease. A lesser man would have thrown in the towel, and gone back to his entertainment career, which didn't require international travel. But, Gary is one of a kind. He and his wife struggled bravely through their medical issues and are continuing their journey warming the tummies and souls of millions more.
Bad boys come in all shapes, sizes and colors - and from all over the globe. But, what they all have in common is that they break women's hearts. Today, we go to Brazil, to speak with Dina Dinheiro. She's the author of a memoir, The Girl from Copacabana: A True Story That Will Rock You to Your Soul. She shares her intimate and painful experiences with bad boys, including suffering through kidnapping, domestic violence, emotional and financial abuse, and rape.Dr. Carole, author of Bad Boys: Why We Love Them, How to Live with Them and When to Leave Them, guides Dina along in her story, and helps her to find the childhood roots of why she was attracted to these bad boys in the first place. Dina's dream is to empower women to prevent and overcome being victims of violence, exploitation and abuse. To that end, she has founded WAV&E, an acronym for Women Against Violence & Exploitation. Dina says, You can't stop the waves, but you can learnt surf!
Though 'authorities' were quick to assure us the tragic burning of Notre Dame was not terrorism, there is no way they could have known this without more investigation. On today's show, Dr. Carole (aka The Terrorist Therapist®), provides you with a list of reasons to suspect that it could, indeed, have been terrorism. She describes how it has many of the earmarks of terror attacks and how Notre Dame has been a target for terrorists for years - replete with prior attacks foiled at the last moment. Dr. Carole's insights are not only based upon her expertise in regard to terrorism, but her personal experience having lived in Paris for years and having just been there this year to receive an award from the Paris Book Festival for her book, Lions and Tigers and Terrorists, Oh My! How to Protect Your Child in a Time of Terror. While authorities blame the fire on a stray flame, possibly related to restoration of the church, hear these other possibilities and then you decide....
Nikolas Cruz - the Valentine's Day school shooter - has struck an especially painful chord in our nation's heart. Perhaps it's because of: the carnage he caused, the unanswered cries for help he'd given us as warning signs for years, the broken life he led, the ease with which he brought guns, the bravery of the students and staff, and the irony of the massacre being on Valentine's Day. Today's guest, Kent Moyer, is CEO and Founder of The World Protection Group and high-end executive protection company 001. We explore what made Nikolas Cruz tick and the people and entities who failed him, as well as the causes and cures for school shootings: Gun background checks or control? Mental illness and better mental health treatment? Just say no to Violent Media?
If people would only admit that the immigration crisis is not about having sympathy for immigrants-but really about certain politicians wanting more immigrants in this country-illegal or not-to sway the vote their way-we could arrive at a more rational solution! But, this doesn't seem to be happening any time soon. Today's guest, Maria Espinoza, National Director of The Remembrance Project, tells it like it is. After the recent spending bill, passed by Congress, failed to include enough money to build a wall, President Trump figured out another way to protect our national security: calling on the military to build the wall and/or patrol our border with Mexico. The Remembrance Project honors Americans and legal residents who have been killed by illegal aliens, so today's show discusses Kate Steinle and others, who would still be alive if sanctuary cities didn't exist. But, protecting the border isn't just about keeping illegal aliens out- it's about keeping terrorists out!
What has America come to that we need a President's Executive Order to assure free speech on college campuses-former bastions of free speech and debate? How are students supposed to learn if they're prevented from exploring all ideas? Sadly, U.S. campuses have become violently intolerant to anyone expressing Conservative views. Ironically, U.C. Berkeley, once the origin of the Free Speech Movement, is now making headlines for the physical attack of a student trying to recruit others into a Conservative student group. Today's guest, Dr. Michael Busler, a public policy analyst, economic expert and university professor of finance, explains how the college world has turned topsy turvy and the surreal danger it poses for free speech, free thought and democracy itself. He also explores differences between capitalism, socialism and communism, why millennials are finding socialism trendy and how this could signal the demise of forces that built America into a leading economic power.
In 21st century America, one wouldn't think it was necessary to pronounce that Antisemitism and Islamophobia are wrong-it should be a given. But, the way some Congresswomen (notably Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib) have been spouting Antisemitic remarks with little condemnation from their peers, apparently there does need to be a reminder that this is wrong. A sign this fever is spinning out of control is the recent attack of Chelsea Clinton by NYU Students for Justice in Palestine, who outrageously blamed her for the New Zealand terror attack just because she had spoken out against Antisemitism. Today's guest, David Rubin, is an American who now lives in Israel, where he and his toddler son were attacked by terrorists. As the former mayor of Shiloh, Israel, the Founder and President of the Shiloh Israel Children's Fund, and an American-Israeli political commentator, he knows all about Antisemitism and the danger of it rearing its ugly head in Congress and in colleges all over the U.S.
Insomnia costs you more than you think... it's enough to lose sleep over. So, since this is National Sleep Awareness week, today's guest, Dr. David Shirazi, Director of the Sleep Therapy Center of Conejo Valley in Thousand Oaks, California, will give you some advice about how to get more and better sleep. He is the first board certified sleep technologist who is also a dentist and acupuncturist. There are many reasons why you lose sleep - both psychological and physical. These days, many people are kept awake by worries about money, health, family, relationships, work, terrorism and other bad news. Physical reasons for insomnia include pain, TMJ, bladder or prostate problems, snoring and sleep apnea. Insomnia is the silent killer of those who work long or unnatural hours, such as truck drivers, firefighters and police officers. Find out how you can once again 'sleep like a baby'.
In the wake of the new documentary, Leaving Neverland, Dr. Carole takes you behind the mask of Michael Jackson and the accusations of of pedophilia against him. First, she describes her own history involving Jackson - from being the psychiatric consultant to his classic biography to being the media’s go-to expert on everything Jackson to being the provocateur of the investigation into child sexual abuse that led to his trial. Today, Dr. Carole takes you through the highlights of the moving stories of Wade Robson and James Safechuck, which they recounted in Leaving Neverland. Their painful stories of Michael Jackson’s sexual abuse, described in intimate detail, are credible and brave, and leave no doubt about his dark side.
Dr. Carole puts today’s headlines on her couch and analyzes them - from a play-by-play look at the Oscars to the forensic cases of Jussie Smollett, R. Kelly and Patrick Frazee. Putting on her ‘media psychiatrist’ hat, she tells it like it is: highlights like Adam Lambert, some winners and speeches, and lowlights like politics and losers. She also analyzes the red hot chemistry between Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper - with his girlfriend Irina looking like a tense chaperone while she pretends not to notice their magnetic attraction. Putting on her ‘forensic psychiatrist’ hat, Dr. Carole explains why Jussie Smollett is lying about being attacked, why R. Kelly needs to be locked up for sexually abusing underage women and how Patrick Frazee killed his fiancée and managed to convince another girlfriend to clean up his mess.
If people would only admit that the immigration crisis is not about having sympathy for immigrants-but really about certain politicians wanting more immigrants in this country-illegal or not-to sway the vote their way-we could arrive at a more rational solution!

But, protecting the border isn't just about keeping illegal aliens out- it's about keeping terrorists out!
Valentine’s Day 2019: Dr. Carole explains how it is different from all other Valentine’s Days - and why the forecast for romance is cloudy with a chance of rain. It’s a perfect storm of: the #MeToo movement dampening men’s libido, political affiliations overtaking dating apps, and her gallery of Bad Boys and Bad Girls (as described in her two award-winning/bestselling books of the same titles). Dr. Carole tells you everything you want to know about sex and love that you were afraid to ask, and helps you avoid heartbreak on Valentine’s Day and every day.
Why do so many couples break up on Valentine's Day? Why is love so hard to find in the 21st century? Why do women fall for bad boys and guys fall for bad girls? What are the 12 different types of bad boys and bad girls? How does the perpetuation of sky high divorce rates make each generation more scared of intimacy than the last? Dr. Carole explains it all.
Today’s guests, Peggy and Lonnie Watson, courageously share their intimate story of addiction. Peggy Is the author of Hooked: When You Love an Addict. In 1994, she discovered her husband was an addict and began to look for books to help her through her tough time—but found none. So, she wrote her own book, using her experience to help the loved ones of addicts learn about and overcome the effects their loved one’s addiction can have on the family. The book follows her husband Lonnie as he drifts through the 90’s as a highly functioning addict. As the owner of a promotion company with dozens of clients, Lonnie was a stark contrast to the common stereotype of addicts living in poverty. However, his addiction was detrimental to all the wealth, success and family life he’d built. “Everything I’d found on addiction focused on helping the addict overcome the illness,” Peggy said. “But where was my help? Was there any advice for me? I felt like I was drowning.”
Today’s guest, Elizabeth Rynecki, takes us along her journey, back through time and into fascinating nooks and crannies, searching for the lost art of her Polish great grandfather, Moshe Rynecki. He lived from 1881-1943 and, during the Holocaust, was in the Warsaw ghetto. He painted poignant portraits of everyday people, giving us a glimpse into these tumultuous times. Elizabeth is the author of Chasing Portraits: A Great-Granddaughter’s Quest for Her Lost Art Legacy, and the writer-producer-director of a documentary film, Chasing Portraits, which chronicles her decades-long quest. Her work has been described as one man’s art and one wonan’s unexpected path to healing.
Companies used to appreciate the hard work of their employees and reward their loyalty with a gold watch! Not so for United Airlines. They rewarded today’s guest, James Trabucco, after two decades or so of hard work, with an unfounded termination! James kept being promoted into better and better positions for the company, such as Operations Manager, and relocated his family to work for United’s locations around the world. One would think that, after 9/11, when two of United’s planes were lost, they would have more appreciation and compassion for their employees. Fortunately, Mr. Trabucco has hired top attorney, Bradley Gage, to sue United for wrongful termination. Mr. Gage, will talk about this increasing trend of companies trying to use and discard employees, especially when their salary is higher than a less experienced employee’s would be.
Government SHUTDOWN ANALYST: Dan Perkins, is a master storyteller and author of The Brotherhood of the Red Nile Trilogy, which centers around Islamic nuclear terrorism against the USA. President Donald Trump is inclined to declare a national emergency to secure military funding for his long-promised southern border wall if talks between administration officials and top lawmakers from both parties continue to stall, a White House official told CNN on Saturday. While not the administration's preferred plan, the use of emergency powers to fund the wall provides a way out amid a series of contentious meetings and disagreements among Department of Homeland Security officials and Democratic lawmakers over basic facts related to border security. Hear the pros and cons as Dr. Carole and Dan Perkins don’t beat around the bush and tell it like it is.
Just beginning to come out of the ashes, herself, Dr. Carole talks with today’s guest Megan Edwards, who survived the 1993 Pasadena, California fire. Megan wrote about her experience in a memoir, Roads From the Ashes: An Odyssey in Real Life on the Virtual Frontier. It is now the 20th anniversary of this memoir, and she shares how she found a way to make lemonade from the lemons she was given when her home burned down in the Pasadena fire. You will find this advice inspirational.
Though nothing could compensate Holocaust victims or their families for the atrocities that the Nazis committed, the reclaiming of family treasures stolen by the Nazis brings some sense of pride and peace. The movie, Woman in Gold, tells the story of one woman's quest to recover a stolen family portrait. Today's guest, E. Randol Schoenberg, (played by Ryan Reynolds in the movie), is the attorney who took her case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and the Austrian judicial system - and won. And guest, Simon Goodman, just like The Monuments Men, is in the process of tracing his grandparent's art collection, stolen during the Holocaust. Their true struggles are both heroic and bittersweet.
As soon as the last trick-or-treater has left our doorstep (if not before), we're awash in a sea of holiday decorations and sales to push us into the mood to buy, buy, buy. But, November has a more profound meaning: a time to feel gratitude towards our veterans, our families and for all that we already have - from beautiful autumn leaves to our overstocked closets. Today's show honors veterans and the sanctity of Thanksgiving. Hale Bradt is the author of Wilber's War, An American Family's Journey Through World War II, a true story unearthed only upon the discovery of his father's letters. A raw look at the battlefront and the home front, it involves secrets, suicide and scandal - just as relevant today as ever. Kevin Paul Scott, entrepreneur, business-builder and author of 8 Essential Exchanges, urges retailers to stay closed on Thanksgiving. It's not only better for business in the long run, it's better for our national psyche to take this time for quiet gratitude over materialism.
You’ve undoubtedly heard lots of political controversy about whether to allow migrants to enter the United States, and whether to let them stay here. But, you probably haven’t heard about the medical risks they pose - some of which are life-threatening to the people who are around them. Today’s guest, Dr. Jane Orient, the Executive Director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, and author of several books, including Your Doctor is Not In, explains a whole smorgasbord of diseases that migrants are bringing into America, making us sick and sometimes killing us. This must be stopped.
Learn how to make your vote count... literally! Dr. Carole’s guests, Vickie Karp and Abbe Waldman DeLozier, Co-Editors of “Hacked! High Tech Election Theft in America”, warn of forces out to steal your vote and what you must do to protect it.
Dr. Carole rants at the headlines- from the midterm elections to the Pipe Bomber, the Synagogue Shooter, the abduction of Jayme Closs and more.
Dr. Carole examines the disturbing epidemic of creepy clowns, which is threatening to make Halloween a nightmare. Today's guest, Randy Christensen, is the President of the World Clown Association. He shares his poignant story of what made him become a clown, and clarifies what's in the heart of a real clown, compared to those who don a creepy clown costume to frighten people. He also discusses the sad backlash that the creepy clown phenomenon is having on real clowns. Dr. Carole advises listeners about wearing any kind of clown costume for Halloween and how to protect yourself. In the second half of the show, she puts on her expert witness hat and talks about another type of 'clown': the women who are coming out of the woodwork to accuse Donald Trump of sexual harassment. Dr. Carole analyzes their 'cases' and points out the flaws, revealing that they are simply malingerers and 'bad girls scorned'.
As Halloween approaches, we start to think of skeletons and ghosts. So, this show is perfect to get you in the 'spirit'. Today's guest, Margo Lenmark, is the author of a new book, Light in the Mourning: Memoirs of an Undertaker's Daughter. You might think that growing up in a Midwestern funeral home would be morbid and traumatize a child forever, but Margo's life took a special turn. She learned that death is not the end, and can actually teach us all how to live better lives. Each time she's lost a loved one, they have given her a gift: messages of wisdom that have inspired her to appreciate each moment and each person in her life. First, her college boyfriend died in a car accident and sent her on a quest to understand the meaning of life. Then her older brother died unexpectedly on Halloween and kept coming back to her in her dreams until she reached him on a shamanic journey. Later, her parents died. Now she shares these intimate revelations in hopes it will make your life better.
Political Correctness is not only stifling the American spirit, it is trying to take away our first amendment rights. And today's guest, Dr. Dathan Paterno, is a chilling example. Dr. Paterno, a clinical psychologist, was faced with being fired from the school board, having his license revoked and received death threats... all over a few tweets about the Women's March that some found offensive. This overreaction to alleged faux pas, in terms of Political Correctness, is rampant and people are being scapegoated for their use of free speech. Dr. Paterno and Dr. Carole discuss what the world is coming to: a far departure from when men were men and women were women. Between the clash of political agendas and sex roles, people are feeling lost and confused these days.
Today, Dr. Carole puts on her Forensic Psychiatrist/Expert Witness hat and analyzes the the Christine Ford vs. Brett Kavanaugh debacle that we have been glued to - like a train wreck. Regardless of who you were 'rooting' for, you should be appalled that this played out on the Senate floor without any of Christine's allegations being thoroughly investigated beforehand. If Dr. Carole had been retained as the expert witness, she would have found the flaws in Christine's story and explained how she can seem so credible and convincing without any substantiated facts. Be a fly on the wall as Dr. Carole puts Christine on the couch, analyzes her, and exposes what went wrong. If Dr. Carole claims it wasn't Kavanaugh who sexually assaulted Christine, find out who she believes it was, why, and how these seeds are lurking in the unconscious minds of many women, putting men at risk from the workplace to the entertainment industry to the Supreme Court!
Today's show honors the 58 people murdered in Las Vegas, one year ago, at the hands of a madman, the countless others who were injured, and all of their families. Over 22,000 people delighted in the Route 91 Harvest Country Music Festival on October 1, 2017, until a tirade of bullets rang out from a window in the Mandalay Bay Hotel, turning it into the worst mass shooting in American history. But, the show doesn't just look back at tragedy, it also looks forward to healing, because that fateful day brought together today's guests, both victims of gun violence, Lisa Fine and Iris Sherman. Lisa is a survivor of the Vegas shooting and Iris is a survivor of a street shooting in Washington, D.C. Lisa co-founded Route91Strong with Brian Claypool, who had been sitting in the same row at the Vegas concert. Iris is on the Board. Route91Strong is a charity that stands strong with survivors of gun violence to raise awareness, funds and to gather resources for all victims, survivors and families.
Every day, new women come out of the woodwork to allege sexual harassment. Are all of these stories true or are women jumping on the bandwagon to claim their 15 minutes of fame? It's important to separate the wheat from the chaff. One of the accused, Harvey Weinstein, seems to be the most prolific of womanizers, if not rapists. (And yes, he is innocent until proven guilty.) Today's guest, leading attorney Aaron Filler, MD, PhD and JD, is very familiar with the key woman accusing Weinstein of rape, Paz de la Huerta, since he has represented her in another legal matter, as well. The NYPD has declared that Paz' allegations of rape are the most credible and have greatest likelihood of leading to an arrest. But, being a victim of rape-or other serious sexual harassment-leaves psychological scars that make it difficult for women to, not only come forward, but to continue the fray until justice is served. Weinstein's hi-powered lawyers, wealth and desperation make him a formidable foe.
For Dr. Carole, 9/11 was a turning point that changed her life. She wasn't in the Twin Towers. She'd moved to L.A. by then. But, being born and raised in NYC, she took 9/11 as a personal attack and became The Terrorist Therapist®, devoted to helping people keep calm and carry on in the face of terror. Her latest book, Lions and Tigers and Terrorists, Oh My! How to Protect Your Child in a Time of Terror, keeps winning awards:NY, London, Paris and Hollywood Book Festivals and more. It's the first and only book about terrorism for kids (and their parents, teachers, and psychotherapists). Dr. Carole reveals how the anniversary of 9/11 has sadly become more sanitized each year. You'd think-from today's media-that it was merely lost or drunk pilots who crashed the Twin Towers, not terrorists. Dr. Carole breaks through this denial to explain how 9/11 changed us-from the obesity epidemic to PTSD to a live-for-now mentality, and how to reach your dreams despite the ongoing threat of terrorism.
September 11, 2018 marks the 17th anniversary of 9/11. But, for the victims and their families, it's as though it happened yesterday. Lisa Luckett is a 9/11 widow. Her story is both tragic and uplifting. Her new book, The Light in 9/11: Shocked by Kindness, Healed by Love, is her gift to the world. In it she shares what she has learned from this trauma to help others heal. With the clarity that only comes with time and distance, Lisa discovered the resiliency and beauty of the human spirit and vowed to not allow her husband’s death to be in vain by making something positive rise from the ashes of this tragic nightmare. While, of course, we must 'never forget' 9/11, the victims, their families, and the ongoing threat of terrorism, it is also important to find a path towards healing.
David Katz, The Madden Tournament Shooter, was a tragedy waiting to happen. Born with a likely predisposition to mental illness (possibly on the autism spectrum plus major depression or schizophrenia), his life took a turn for the worse when his parents divorced and he fell through the cracks. Though he received some psychiatric treatment, it was obviously not enough. Depressed and angry, his obsession with violent video games flourished-until it was no longer a game-but very real when he went on a shooting spree at a Madden Tournament and killed and injured other gamers. Today's guest, Lt. Colonel Dave Grossman, bestselling author of Assassination Generation: Video Games, Aggression, and the Psychology of Killing, is the world's foremost authority on these issues. After Parkland, he was summoned to the White House by President Trump to talk about the impact of video games at a meeting with representatives from the gaming industry. One thing we can agree on: the shooting must stop.
There are so many crimes in today's headlines, they can make your head spin. We all want to know 'whodunit' and why. But, before we can solve one crime, another one catches our attention. And after consuming countless hours of shows like Criminal Minds and Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, we think we're all super-sleuths. Today's guest, Randy Sutton, is a real super-sleuth - he doesn't just play one on TV. He's a retired Police Lieutenant, Host of Blue Lives Radio, Founder of The Wounded Blue and author of 4 books. Today, he and Forensic Psychiatrist, host, Dr. Carole, try to solve 3 of the crimes that currently puzzle us most: Why did Chris Watts murder his wife and, allegedly, his children? Who murdered Mollie Tibbetts and why? What's up with Asia Argento: from alleged victim of Harvey Weinstein to alleged child abuser, herself? We take you inside these criminal minds and the investigations that are unfolding, to illuminate some clues you may have missed.
Today, Dr. Carole gives her listeners a sneak preview of her upcoming book: LIONS and TIGERS and TERRORISTS, OH MY! How to Protect Your Child in a Time of Terror, before it is launched in NYC in time for 9/11. Why haven't parents and teachers been talking to their kids about terrorism? Why do they need to? How is terrorism like sex? (Hint: both are taboo topics that make parents uncomfortable.) What makes terrorism the 'birds and the bees' talk for the 21st century? What do we know about the psychological impact of 9/11 and the recent UK terror attacks on kids? Why do grownups need to look for the signs of emotional distress in their kids? How can grownups help kids become more resilient to the impact of terrorism? Dr. Carole answers these questions and more.
When Freddie Wilson was a boy, growing up in Mooresville, North Carolina, he was very shaken by the murder of the father of a schoolmate. Matt Stewart, a 31-year-old devoted pediatric nurse, respected member of his church and community, father and husband, was brutally murdered in his home in the early hours of June 9th, 2009. Police botched the investigation from the get-go and, to date, the murderer has never been caught, despite murmurs and rumors as to their identity. Unwilling to let this good man's murder continue to fade into obscurity, Freddie created a podcast-Unforgotten: The Unsolved Murder of Matt Stewart. His hope is that people will now come forward to tell the secrets they've been keeping that would lead to the killer's identity. On the podcast, whose first episode commemorated the 9th anniversary of the unsolved murder, Freddie interviews people who knew Matt and forensic experts (like Dr. Carole). Risking the murderer's wrath, Freddie continues his quest for truth.
Today's guests give America the reality check it needs. We are living on the precipice of disaster in America, as too much noise and political correctness cause people to become overwhelmed and numb to the real issues. Fortunately, there is Judge Jeanine Pirro - author of the new NY Times #1 Bestseller, Liars, Leakers and Liberals: The Case Against the Anti-Trump Conspiracy - who dares to tell it like it is. With her painstakingly meticulous, fact-checked work, she confronts those suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, who refuse to believe that there is such a thing as a Deep State trying to control our country, and who want to turn our free market democracy into a socialist -if not communist- nation. Next, we hear from Omar Qudrat, who is a former Political Advisor to the NATO Ambassador, former Department of Defense counter-terrorism prosecutor, and who is running for Congress in California's 52nd District - potentially becoming the first Muslim GOP Congressman.
What made Stephen Paddock become the perpetrator of the largest mass shooting in American history? Was he following in the footsteps of his dad, a notorious bank robber and prison escapee on the FBI Most Wanted List, who was labeled psychopathic with suicidal tendencies? Was he desperate because of mounting gambling debts? Was he a political fanatic trying to kill Republicans, who he assumed would be at this country music festival in high numbers? Or was he a soldier of terrorism, as ISIS is claiming? Dr. Carole warns not to rule out terrorism just yet and explains why. She also delves into Stephen Paddock's mysterious girlfriend, Marilou Danley, of Philippine origin-the same place Stephen wired $100,000 before he began shooting. Marilou has been MIA since the shooting and is likely not to provide the answers authorities expect when she finally returns to the U.S. Dr. Carole ends the show with some tips for how to talk with children about this tragedy.
In these crazy-making times, more people than ever think about seeking help, but some hesitate because of stigma. Today's guest, Edward M. Hallowell, M.D., a renowned psychiatrist, takes us on an unflinchingly candid tour behind the scenes with his new book, Because I Come From a Crazy Family: The Making of a Psychiatrist. As a boy, he heard the call to become a psychiatrist. His childhood was surrounded by dysfunction, which he later identified as mental illness. His father was manic-depressive, his mother was an alcoholic and his stepfather was abusive. Later, when asked “Why do you want to become a psychiatrist?” he would answer, “Because I come from a crazy family.” Dr. Hallowell’s desire to become a psychiatrist came from a place of love–he loved his family and wanted to help them. He credits his love and connection to his family, friends and mentors, as the thing that helped him beat the odds and build a happy, successful life, even if it was seasoned by many harrowing moments.
We all watched breathlessly until the 12 boys and their soccer coach were rescued from the cave. It's a miracle that they survived their entrapment and rescue, as Dr. Carole - a former scuba diving doctor and scuba diver, herself, explains. But, their challenges aren't over. Their stay in the hospital is likely to overcome any medical problems that arise-such as problems with their heart, lungs, kidney, liver and infections. But, the psychological trauma is not as easy to heal. Listen, as Dr. Carole describes how their pre-cave childhood affects their prognosis. She describes the psychological disorders they are likely to have, such as PTSD. What is PTSD, anyway, and how will this affect them? What should their psychiatric treatment be? Why does everyone want to believe that they are perfect and won't have any psychological problems once they leave the hospital? What impact will this have on the boys and their coach? Why aren't they out of the woods? Dr. Carole explains it all.
Birthdays are a time to take stock of the years that passed and decide what changes you want to make for the future. So, this July 4th America, needs to be honest with itself. The way the country is now is not what our forefathers had in mind! From violent political divisiveness that is out of control, to an obsession with political correctness that is out of control, to worship of socialism and communism... our country has some 'splainin to do - and some course correction back to basic American values. Today's guest, 'Joe Six-Pack', author of the soon to be released book, Socialism Sucks Your Money Out of Your Pocket, shares his views on where our country is going wrong. He also describes his interesting Castle Theory that explains some of the differences between Europe and America, based upon our history.
If people would only admit that the immigration crisis is not about having sympathy for immigrants-but really about certain politicians wanting more immigrants in this country-illegal or not-to sway the vote their way-we could arrive at a more rational solution! But, this doesn't seem to be happening any time soon. Today's guest, Maria Espinoza, National Director of The Remembrance Project, tells it like it is. After the recent spending bill, passed by Congress, failed to include enough money to build a wall, President Trump figured out another way to protect our national security: calling on the military to build the wall and/or patrol our border with Mexico. The Remembrance Project honors Americans and legal residents who have been killed by illegal aliens, so today's show discusses Kate Steinle and others, who would still be alive if sanctuary cities didn't exist. But, protecting the border isn't just about keeping illegal aliens out- it's about keeping terrorists out!
Do you feel lonely? If so, you're not alone. A new study reveals that there is a loneliness epidemic in America. And the younger you are, the more likely you are to feel this ache. Today, Dr. Carole explains why we're more lonely - from the gizmos we're attached to 24/7, to the increased number of divorces leaving scars on kids of divorce which make them afraid of intimacy, to the headlines that divide and isolate us from each other. Dr. Carole talks about today's headlines and how the media flaunts stories that set us apart because controversy sells. She cites examples of these: President Trump, Stormy Daniels, White House Correspondents' dinner, Kathy Griffin, Kanye West, Robert Mueller, the Iran deal, Parkland high school students for and against guns, Chinese prom dresses, and Logan Paul.Though we're exhausted by these stories, we're driven to them like moths to a flame to see if our side is winning. But, something must be done, because loneliness kills - literally.
Are news headlines sending you running for the hills or back into bed to hide under the covers? Today, Dr. Carole puts the top headlines on her couch to analyze them for you and take you inside the heads of the newsmakers to figure out what's really going on and why. First, since today is the 2-year anniversary of the tragic Pulse nightclub terror attack, she honors the victims and recaps the story, with an update about Omar Mateen's widow having recently been acquitted of all charges in a travesty of justice. Next, she talks about the Summit between President Trump and Kim Jong Un-and gives you advice on how to talk to children about it. Then she analyzes the sad news about Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain's suicides. Dr. Carole explains how we are all more fragile since 9/11, so deep personal traumas can more easily push us over the edge. Indeed, Spade's husband left her and Bourdain's girlfriend jilted him for another guy-causing unbearable pain that sent them over the brink.
When we think of adopting a pet from an animal shelter, we think of doing good by rescuing a stray animal, but we don't realize how we are actually rescuing ourselves. Today's guests tell stories of mutual rescues. Purple Heart veteran Josh Marino shares how his life was changed forever by the love of a stray kitten. Wounded in Iraq when an explosive detonated, he suffered concussions that led to constant headaches, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Josh reached the point where he decided to end his life. As he sat outside his barracks in the rain, he heard a cry from the bushes and found a tiny cat looking up at him. Moved deeply that this little soul had found him just when he needed someone most, he changed his mind and decided to live to care for this cat he named Scout. Carol Novello is the founder of Mutual Rescue, a national initiative that highlights the life-changing power of human-animal relationships through their film series, including Eric & Peety and Josh and Scout.
While we sit and drink lattes or become couch potatoes, men and women put their lives on the line for us in combat. The fortunate ones come home, but what awaits them? Struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder, unemployment, estranged relationships and more. Today's guest, Martin Papazian, is the writer, director and star of the just-released movie, Least Among Saints, about the human toll of war. What do a returning vet and an orphan boy have in common? Tune in to find out.
Today's guest, psychologist Dr. Lorin Lindner, is the author of a new book - Birds of a Feather: A True Story of Hope and the Healing Power of Animals. She takes us on her life's journey, starting with her childhood love of a pet parrot who kept her company and healed her pain while her mother was dying. Later, as an adult, she was called upon to rescue a parrot named Sammy, which renewed her appreciation of these special birds. As the director of a program for homeless veterans in Los Angeles, she soon got them involved in building a sanctuary for hurt and abandoned parrots. During this process she saw the magical healing power that the birds had on the vets, suffering from PTSD and other psychological problems, and that the vets had on the birds. Later, she expanded her treatment program to connect vets to the rescue and care of wolfdogs. Dr. Lindner, with her love of parrots, became the first psychologist to harness the healing power of animals to save people.
Do you have dreams that seem as impossible as becoming a rocket scientist? Well, today's guest, Olympia LePointe, latched onto such a dream when she was a little girl on a class field trip to a NASA lab. The only problem was that she was living in poverty with a single mom and three siblings, amidst gang violence and childhood sexual abuse. If she would've told anyone her dream, they would have laughed at her. Fortunately, after she was knifed by a classmate in 5th grade, her mother was able to get her transferred to a better school, where a mentor helped her to raise her failing math and science scores, so she could go on to grad school and finally become a rocket scientist! Indeed, she is a real life 'hidden figure'-just like the movie. She helped launch 28 NASA Space Shuttle missions-including Endeavor, Atlantis, Columbia and Discovery. Her new book, Answers Unleashed: The Science of Unleashing Your Brain's Power, helps people launch their dreams, just like she has done!
Got stress? Who doesn't? Whether it's finding a soulmate in this crazy online dating world, worrying about family, friends or finances, or about terrorism and other chaos in the world, we are stressed to the max these days. Today's guest, Pamela Robins, author of Meditating with Animals, has the answer. After being faced with a relentless series of major life challenges, including the death of her mother, her own cancer diagnosis, vocal cord paralyzation, a divorce and letting go of her life as she knew it in order to find herself, she saw her animals were instrumental in getting her through it all. When she was strong again, she wanted to return to them the extraordinary gifts they had given her so that they would not be depleted of their own health and vitality. And so Meditating with Animals and The Animal Method were born. And today she is sharing these insights with us.
Do you feel lonely? If so, you're not alone. A new study reveals that there is a loneliness epidemic in America. And the younger you are, the more likely you are to feel this ache. Today, Dr. Carole explains why we're more lonely - from the gizmos we're attached to 24/7, to the increased number of divorces leaving scars on kids of divorce which make them afraid of intimacy, to the headlines that divide and isolate us from each other. Dr. Carole talks about today's headlines and how the media flaunts stories that set us apart because controversy sells.

But, something must be done, because loneliness kills - literally.
Today's show takes you behind closed doors, as two shrinks (psychiatrists) share the good, the bad and the ugly about mental health treatment today. Dr. Srini Pillay has been called a Renaissance man: author, coach, brain researcher, musician, provocateur, poet and psychiatrist. His latest book, entitled Tinker Dabble Doodle Try: Unlock the Power of the Unfocused Mind, presents a counterintuitive approach that helps people discover the benefits of techniques from dabbling to daydreaming. Current news headlines contain stories of mentally ill men: the Parkland school shooter, the Waffle House shooter, and the Toronto driver who rammed his vehicle into pedestrians. Each of these tragedies illuminates failures in the mental health system and provide fodder for Dr. Pillay and Dr. Carole to take a profound look into how psychiatry training and practice has gone astray.
What determines when depression ends in suicide? The proper mental health treatment is always crucial. But, sometimes seemingly random events can push someone towards life or death. Today's guests present two stories of suicide -with many similarities- yet with different endings. Tired of struggling with family, work and depression, Kevin Berthia climbed on top of the Golden Gate Bridge to end his life. Fortuitously, he was talked down by someone who reminded him of his one reason to live. Om Devi, author of A Dialogue with Depression, tells of her husband's depression, which she felt helpless to stop from ending in suicide. Both stories illuminate key factors that can mean the difference between life or death: the need for human contact, a smiling mask hiding one's pain, mental fatigue from what seems like hopeless struggles, failures of the mental health system, and whether someone is there for you in those final moments....
Today, Dr. Carole gives her listeners a sneak preview of her upcoming book: LIONS and TIGERS and TERRORISTS, OH MY! How to Protect Your Child in a Time of Terror, before it is launched in NYC in time for 9/11. Why haven't parents and teachers been talking to their kids about terrorism? Why do they need to? How is terrorism like sex? (Hint: both are taboo topics that make parents uncomfortable.) What makes terrorism the 'birds and the bees' talk for the 21st century? What do we know about the psychological impact of 9/11 and the recent UK terror attacks on kids? Why do grownups need to look for the signs of emotional distress in their kids? How can grownups help kids become more resilient to the impact of terrorism? Dr. Carole answers these questions and more.
Today's show - an analysis of OJ in light of the recent FOX Special: The Lost Confession - will hopefully be the last word on this lethal lover. We take you behind the scenes to hear all you need to know to finally put him to bed in our nation's consciousness. We owe our fly-on-the-wall look at OJ's Lost Confession to today's first guest, Judith Regan, CEO of Regan Arts, an award-winning publishing/media company. Judith's 2006 interview with OJ is nothing less than spectacular in the way that she got him to go from talking about 'IF' I did it to slipping into a first-person account of what he did that deadly night-clearly a real confession! Today's second guest, attorney Dale Griffin, went to school with OJ and is old friends with some of the major players from the OJ trial. Both Judith and Dale provide fascinating backstory, you won't have heard anywhere else.
If people would only admit that the immigration crisis is not about having sympathy for immigrants-but really about certain politicians wanting more immigrants in this country-illegal or not-to sway the vote their way-we could arrive at a more rational solution! But, this doesn't seem to be happening any time soon. Today's guest, Maria Espinoza, National Director of The Remembrance Project, tells it like it is. After the recent spending bill, passed by Congress, failed to include enough money to build a wall, President Trump figured out another way to protect our national security: calling on the military to build the wall and/or patrol our border with Mexico. The Remembrance Project honors Americans and legal residents who have been killed by illegal aliens, so today's show discusses Kate Steinle and others, who would still be alive if sanctuary cities didn't exist. But, protecting the border isn't just about keeping illegal aliens out- it's about keeping terrorists out!
Ever since state mental hospitals have been shut down, many mentally ill have ended up on our streets and then in jails and prisons. Indeed, approximately one-third of our nation's inmates are mentally ill, and getting little to no treatment while incarcerated. But today's guest, Judge Ginger Lerner-Wren, author of Court of Refuge: Stories from the Bench of America's First Mental Health Court, has begun to change this and make it a more compassionate system. Judge Lerner-Wren tells the story of the court's growth from an offshoot of her criminal division to a court that has successfully diverted more than 20,000 people with serious mental illness from jail and into treatment facilities and other community resources. When the mentally ill are put into jails and prisons instead of into treatment, it starts them down the wrong path and more tragedy unfolds. Judge Lerner-Wren's model has been replicated, but many more such courts need to exist.
Dr. Carole worries about well-meaning students, called upon to Walkout and March for reasons that haven't been made sufficiently clear to them. Even less clear to the students is that, in their vulnerable psychological state, caused by the Parkland school shooting, they are being co-opted to fulfill others' agendas. Dr. Carole explains how Parkland students are suffering from PTSD and the stages of grief. Students nationwide are also suffering because of having watched countless hours of media coverage of the shooting-including video inside the school. When students are asked what they're walking out or marching for, they give a variety of conflicting responses. Unfortunately, honoring the victims is overshadowed by the political agendas of those behind the scenes who are pulling the strings. Students are rightfully angry, but the solution to school shootings is not as simple as banning guns. Identifying kids with problems and providing good mental health treatment is more important.
Ever since the financial meltdown, it's become more of a dog-eat-dog world than ever. There's a sense of scarcity and desperation that too often rears its ugly head. So, we've forgotten something we learned in kindergarten: how important it is to be kind. Today's guest, Jill Lublin, reminds us. She is the author of a new book, The Profit of Kindness: How to Influence Others, Establish Trust, and Build Lasting Relationships. She explains how, if you make kindness the cornerstone of your business, you will miraculously reap more success - and have more fun doing it. She also shares how her decision to leave law school, to do something she felt was more creative, put her on the path to becoming a speaker and author. And, as a bonus, she gives us highlights from her previous books. Jill is on her way to establishing a campaign to spread kindness worldwide, and today's world can certainly use more of it!
Each day, more news filters out about the Parkland high school shooting that horrifies us and makes our heart bleed for the victims and their families. An Emergency Medical Technician, for example, who wants to remain anonymous for fear of being fired, has just confided to a reporter that he was told to stand down and not run in to rescue victims and provide medical aid. A Sheriff Deputy, Scot Peterson, who was one of four deputies hiding in the bushes, instead of running in to confront the shooter, said the same thing. Who do we believe? Today's guest, Bryan Crabtree, radio host and publisher of Talk40.com News, shares his views on these failures of law enforcement and the FBI. And he and Dr. Carole also discuss what should be done to prevent future school shootings: the pros and cons of gun control and arming teachers, and how desperately our mental health system needs improvement. Hear what they have to say and then you decide.
Nikolas Cruz - the Valentine's Day school shooter - has struck an especially painful chord in our nation's heart. Perhaps it's because of: the carnage he caused, the unanswered cries for help he'd given us as warning signs for years, the broken life he led, the ease with which he brought guns, the bravery of the students and staff, and the irony of the massacre being on Valentine's Day. Today's guest, Kent Moyer, is CEO and Founder of The World Protection Group and high-end executive protection company 001. We explore what made Nikolas Cruz tick and the people and entities who failed him, as well as the causes and cures for school shootings: Gun background checks or control? Mental illness and better mental health treatment? Just say no to Violent Media?
Why do so many couples break up on Valentine's Day? Why is love so hard to find in the 21st century? Why do women fall for bad boys and guys fall for bad girls? What are the 12 different types of bad boys and bad girls? How does the perpetuation of sky high divorce rates make each generation more scared of intimacy than the last? Dr. Carole explains it all.
School shootings are tragic - but the solution is not arming police officers or teachers at schools - especially if they aren't trained in child or adolescent psychology. A recent case in point is the shooting of Logan Clark, a student at Hug High School in Nevada. Suffering from psychological problems - largely due to being bullied - Logan brought a knife to school to protect himself against these increasingly aggressive bullies. But, a trigger happy police officer shot first and asked questions later. Logan, who almost died, has a long road to recovery ahead - and his hopes of getting a scholarship to college based upon his athletic prowess are dashed. Today's guest, famed attorney David Houston, is taking Logan's case. He gives an update on the school's refusal to take responsibility, and what's really going on behind the scenes.
Who better to teach us how to unmask what matters in our own lives than the Broadway star who played Christine Daae in The Phantom of the Opera? Sandra Joseph, the longest running Christine in the longest running Broadway play, has just released her book on Phantom's 30th birthday: Unmasking What Matters: 10 Life Lessons from 10 Years on Broadway. Her life unrolled like a fairytale: from too shy to sing in an elementary school performance to starring in a Broadway show and marrying the lead (a man who played the Phantom) - how romantic is that? But, when she finally stepped off the stage, she was confronted by the death of her beloved father and her own medical crisis, a brainstem tumor. These challenges caused her to 'unmask what matters' for herself and realize that she wanted to use her voice to inspire audiences in a new way. She's now on a mission to empower other people's voices through her work as an author, speaker and thought leader.
Nice guys can't get dates, but serial killer Charles Manson has women dying to marry him. Even his mother didn't love him, but Afton Elaine Burton, aka Star, tells us she's his bride-to-be. She also claims he's innocent. Is she truly in love or does she have ulterior motives - like fame and fortune? Manson, a sociopath, is not capable of love, or has he mellowed in his twilight years? Here to answer these questions and more is Marlin Marynick, author of Charles Manson Now, and mental health professional, who got to know Manson up close and personal.
Today's guest, Robert Gandt, is the author of the new book, Angels in the Sky: How a Band of Volunteer Airmen Saved the New State of Israel. And, as he tells the story, you will ask yourself why we have never heard this before, since it is an amazing true story of epic proportions. Fortunately, Gandt, who has combined a life of flying with a life of writing such epic aviation stories, has had the opportunity to interview these 'Angels' and bring us the otherwise unbelievable David and Goliath tale. This story is as relevant today, since Israel continues to fight for its life while surrounded by hostile neighbors. As he tells it: Angels in the Sky is the story of the ragtag band of volunteer airmen from around the world who fought for Israel during the 1948 war of independence. Most were young WWII combat veterans who defied their own countries’ strict laws, risking everything—their lives, careers, citizenship—to fight for a besieged new nation.
Accusers of Harvey Weinstein, #MeToo and #TimesUp have opened the floodgates of rage against sexual harassment, sexual assault, inequality... and men in general! The hatred of men by women is called misandry - and today's guest, Dr. Paul Nathanson, has defined misandry with his books, research and lectures (which always draw protests, by the way). Dr. Nathanson and Dr. Carole walk this minefield of the war between the sexes, in the context of current events and the Golden Globes, as a sociological snapshot of the state of affairs between men and women. And it ain't pretty. Dr. Nathanson gives an historical perspective of this war, since he has been studying it for the past 30 years. Dr. Carole warns that there will be a 'BLACKlash' from men to the overpowering sea of women-dressed-in-black at the Golden Globes. Was this a funeral for men? Where will this all end? There are manufacturers of female and male sex robots who are anticipating the answer.
Ever wonder what your childhood would have been like if you were growing up with a schizophrenic mom in an era when they didn't have medication to treat the disorder? Today's guest, Joan Carol Lieberman (no relation), has lived to tell the tale and she's written about it in her new two-part autobiography, Optimal Distance: A Divided Life. As a little girl, every day was a struggle to find the optimal distance from her paranoid schizophrenic mother. Her dad traveled a lot for his work, so she was left on her own to try to cope with her mom's hallucinations, delusions and sometimes violent behavior. Joan has kept a diary since she was 5 years old, and she draws from this to share her courageous story and give us a rare glimpse into the realities of mental illness. Her story has a happy ending, in that Joan managed to survive her childhood and go on to live a very sane and fulfilling life.
Guest, Jane Marla Robbins, is a modern day renaissance woman: actress, playwright, author, poet, coach and speaker. After a stunning career as an actress on Broadway, off-Broadway, in film and on TV, she decided to stop being other people (the roles she played) and start being herself. Since then she has delighted in helping people 'act' in their everyday life in order to look and feel self-confident in difficult real-life situations. This is when her book, Acting Techniques for Everyday Life, was born. Want to overcome your self-consciousness? She's got an acting technique for that. Want to look younger? She's got an acting technique for that. Want to get over your fear of public speaking? She's got an acting technique for that. And more. Jane's learned how important humor is in life and she shares some of her poetry which reflects her playful sense of humor. Her 3 books of poems are: Poems of The Laughing Buddha, Dogs in Topanga and Cafe Mimosa in Topanga.
What do terrorists have in store for us? Today's guest, Michael Vilardi, a 9/11 First Responder and member of the Joint Terrorism Task Force, had the grizzly task of piecing together human body parts for identification at the scene of the World Trade Center and saw up front and personal the devastation of Islamic terrorism. He has also had the opportunity to get the inside scoop from two terrorists - and he shares their plans for world domination with us. On The Mike Vilardi Show, he interviewed two former Islamic terrorists: Kamal Saleem and Zach Anani. These terrorists explained Islam from a terrorist point of view and the Islamic strategy for world domination. Mike’s new book, The Time of His Coming, explains how Islam will spread throughout the world and overtake it. Many safeguards have been put into effect since 9/11. So, as a result, are we safer from terrorist attacks today than we were in 2001? Listen and you decide.
Port Authority subway terrorist, Akayed Ullah, may have been the first to attack NYC this holiday season, but he won't be the last. Indeed, ISIS has launched a propaganda campaign to encourage lone wolves to strike NYC - using a poster of Santa Claus standing next to a box of dynamite in the middle of Times Square as a call to action. The caption on the poster says, We meet at Christmas in New York... soon. On today's show, Dr. Carole puts Akayed Ullah on her couch and analyzes his twisted thinking. She also explains what this campaign of ongoing terror attacks means for you and your family - whether you live in NYC or anywhere in the western world - and what you need to do to build resilience in those you love.
Today's show will uplift and inspire you by proving how one person can make a huge difference. Jeffrey Epstein has just launched a new charity called Healing the Wounds. It uniquely responds to the needs of children whose parent lost their life while serving as a hero in the military or law enforcement. The vision of this program is to empower the kids left behind. Epstein, as President, has amassed a stellar Board, who have committed to this cause. The program includes an Alaskan experience with survival training to promote self-confidence and leadership skills, exposure to careers, a help-line and other mentoring opportunities. Hear how you can get in on the ground floor to become a member of Healing the Wounds and help the kids whose dad or mom sacrificed their life for our country.
Every day, new women come out of the woodwork to allege sexual harassment. Are all of these stories true or are women jumping on the bandwagon to claim their 15 minutes of fame? It's important to separate the wheat from the chaff. One of the accused, Harvey Weinstein, seems to be the most prolific of womanizers, if not rapists. (And yes, he is innocent until proven guilty.) Today's guest, leading attorney Aaron Filler, MD, PhD and JD, is very familiar with the key woman accusing Weinstein of rape, Paz de la Huerta, since he has represented her in another legal matter, as well. The NYPD has declared that Paz' allegations of rape are the most credible and have greatest likelihood of leading to an arrest. But, being a victim of rape-or other serious sexual harassment-leaves psychological scars that make it difficult for women to, not only come forward, but to continue the fray until justice is served. Weinstein's hi-powered lawyers, wealth and desperation make him a formidable foe.
Today's show takes you behind the scenes and into the life of the number one Donald Trump impersonator in the world: John Di Domenico. Find out what made him grow up to want to become an impersonator and how the fates conspired to make him a Trump impersonator - from the time Trump was a celebrity businessman to host of The Apprentice to candidate for president - and now as The President. But, impersonating President Trump today is a risky business. Since John won both the national and international competitions for who does Trump best, he is very convincing. So, it is no wonder that there are women whispering seductively in John's ear, and countless people asking John to make laws favorable to their interests. But, there are also men trying to assassinate him - literally. Hear how John - criss-crossing the country doing shows during election season - knew, before the media, that Trump was going to win the election.
Today's guest, Khaldoun Sweis, an Associate Professor of Philosophy, shares his personal story of the greatest suffering he has ever known - first, being a teen on the brink of suicide, and years later, his son's death. His riveting story goes on to explain how these events set him on his mission in life: helping people to find hope in suffering through discovering evidence of their faith - like he did. Regardless of your religious beliefs - you will be moved by Sweis' story. Do you call on your God or a Higher Power like a big bellhop in the sky - there to grant your wishes? Or do you have faith even when you're going through your darkest times? You will likely recognize yourself in Sweis' words and in our universal quest for the light at the end of the tunnel.
Today's show looks at two men with troubled beginnings who became polar opposites: one a mass murderer and one a scientific advisor to presidents. The murderer was Devin Patrick Kelley, who made headlines for shooting up a Texas church. The scientist is Mark Kingston Levin. Both came from dysfunctional homes and showed signs of trouble from an early age. But, Devin fell through the cracks and manifested psychopathology, including: cruelty to animals, domestic violence, a mental hospital escape and ultimately mass murder. Mark's childhood trauma was his father's early death and his mother's remarriage to an alcoholic abusive stepfather. But, Mark found mentors who guided him on an ambitious path: a coach who got him into football and a teacher who had him join the rocket club and fall in love with science. Football gave him confidence. The rocket club launched his prestigious career in science. Now he uses his real-life science background to write award-winning science fiction.
The opioid epidemic is staggering! Opioid overdose deaths soared to over 200 percent since 2000, and at least 91 Americans die each day from an opioid OD! No wonder President Trump just declared it a public health emergency. Today's guests, Dr. Alexis Carayannopoulos and Dr. Joseph Audette, are top addiction and pain medicine experts. We follow them into the complex world of painkillers, patients, physicians and prescriptions to understand how things began spinning out of control and became the crisis it is today. You'll hear how the pendulum in medicine has changed: from doctors being encouraged to be more generous with pain meds so that patients didn't suffer to their now being encouraged to withhold pain meds - and Big Brother government is counting every pill. The crisis has gotten so bad that even dogs are almost dying because of inadvertently sniffing opioids and requiring the antidote Narcan to survive.
Dr. Carole rants at today's headlines and urges you not to be lemmings and accept fake news or no news-which seem to be our only choices these days. She puts the three top news stories on her couch and analyzes them for you-berating the 'authorities' and media for what they're not telling us about them. First, she takes the lid off the group of therapists who are using their credentials to promote their narcissistic and political agenda by declaring President Trump unfit. She points out how they are hypocrites and should hold a mirror up to their own psychopathology. Next, she adds to her analysis of the Vegas shooter, Stephen Paddock, opining that it was impotence that set off his frenzy to collect phallic symbol guns, and little man syndrome and Oedipal rivalry with his bank robbing dad that explain his mass shooting. Finally, she unveils the true story behind the couple rescued from the Taliban: the husband a wannabe terrorist and wife abuser, the wife a battered woman.
What a paradox: we are surrounded by death in the news every day - from terrorism to natural disasters to contagious diseases - yet it is the last topic we want to think about. Get ready for some gallows humor on today's show, as Gail Rubin shares her story about how she became The Doyenne of Death and how she helps people overcome the taboo. Her journey began in college when she satirized Ingmar Bergman's classic film The Seventh Seal and had her future husband play Death. Then her second wedding was such a fun event, it inspired her to write a column called Matchings, Hatchings and Dispatchings. When readers responded most to her columns about death, she went on to write the award-winning book, A Good Goodbye: Funeral Planning for Those Who Don't Plan to Die, and later wrote Kicking the Bucket List: 100 Downsizing and Organizing Things to Do Before You Die. She's also a pioneer of the Death Cafe Movement, where people have fun keeping the Grim Reaper at bay.
What made Stephen Paddock become the perpetrator of the largest mass shooting in American history? Was he following in the footsteps of his dad, a notorious bank robber and prison escapee on the FBI Most Wanted List, who was labeled psychopathic with suicidal tendencies? Was he desperate because of mounting gambling debts? Was he a political fanatic trying to kill Republicans, who he assumed would be at this country music festival in high numbers? Or was he a soldier of terrorism, as ISIS is claiming? Dr. Carole warns not to rule out terrorism just yet and explains why. She also delves into Stephen Paddock's mysterious girlfriend, Marilou Danley, of Philippine origin-the same place Stephen wired $100,000 before he began shooting. Marilou has been MIA since the shooting and is likely not to provide the answers authorities expect when she finally returns to the U.S. Dr. Carole ends the show with some tips for how to talk with children about this tragedy.

Dr. Carole examines the disturbing epidemic of creepy clowns, which is threatening to make Halloween a nightmare. Today's guest, Randy Christensen, is the President of the World Clown Association. He shares his poignant story of what made him become a clown, and clarifies what's in the heart of a real clown, compared to those who don a creepy clown costume to frighten people. He also discusses the sad backlash that the creepy clown phenomenon is having on real clowns. Dr. Carole advises listeners about wearing any kind of clown costume for Halloween and how to protect yourself. In the second half of the show, she puts on her expert witness hat and talks about another type of 'clown': the women who are coming out of the woodwork to accuse Donald Trump of sexual harassment. Dr. Carole analyzes their 'cases' and points out the flaws, revealing that they are simply malingerers and 'bad girls scorned'.
What happens to kids who are abused or neglected?They end up with mental illnesses, dropping out of school, sometimes in foster home placement, not getting the psychiatric treatment they need, and ending up in prison. Indeed a new study reveals that over half of the inmates in U.S. prisons have a mental illness with roots in childhood. Today's guests are proof! They urge society to wake up and start helping these kids when warning signs appear in elementary school. Kristina Kopic is an Advocacy Content Specialist at the Ruderman Family Foundation, who conducted this study. Tara Nuevelle shares her personal story, which illustrates this trajectory. She grew up in a severely abusive home. Her social worker, foster parents and many others were blind to her depression, anxiety and PTSD. She went on to become a victim of domestic violence, and ended up in prison. Now she's the Founder and CEO of Who Speaks For Me? an organization which educates the justice system about trauma.
In the aftermath of the memorials for the anniversary of 9-11, comes the story of a widow and her personal aftermath of the tragedy of September 11, 2001. Today's guest, Lisa Luckett, became a widow and a single mother of three children on that tragic day. But, instead of crumbling, she has managed to find a silver lining: 'I have learned that almost all scary, sad or traumatic experiences always come with silver linings. In society today, terrorism, tragedy and illness are in the news every day. It seems that death, pain and suffering is everywhere! What you don’t hear about as often is what comes with it: the unsolicited love, support, kindness and the beauty of the human spirit that appear out of nowhere to guide you and help you to heal.' In addition to honoring those who died on 9-11 - victims on the planes and on the ground, as well as first responders - we need to honor those who have found resilience and are spreading messages of healing and hope to others, like Ms. Luckett.
Today, Dr. Carole gives her listeners a sneak preview of her upcoming book: LIONS and TIGERS and TERRORISTS, OH MY! How to Protect Your Child in a Time of Terror, before it is launched in NYC in time for 9/11. Why haven't parents and teachers been talking to their kids about terrorism? Why do they need to? How is terrorism like sex? (Hint: both are taboo topics that make parents uncomfortable.) What makes terrorism the 'birds and the bees' talk for the 21st century? What do we know about the psychological impact of 9/11 and the recent UK terror attacks on kids? Why do grownups need to look for the signs of emotional distress in their kids? How can grownups help kids become more resilient to the impact of terrorism? Dr. Carole answers these questions and more.

On the occasion of Holocaust Remembrance Day, it is important that people remember that the Holocaust is not just a horrid historical event from the past, but something that is still very much 'present' for victims and their families. Today's guests exemplify this presence. Leonia Kallir Kurgan is a Holocaust survivor who, at 4 years old, barely escaped from Poland, as the Nazis searched for and murdered the Jews. In her book, A Crowd of One, she has written about how her family managed to escape the concentration camps and their inability to escape the scars of the Holocaust. Susan Edel is a volunteer with the Tracing Department of Magen David Adom, the Israeli Red Cross. This is a special service that researches lost relatives all over the globe and tries to reunite families who have been broken apart because of the Holocaust. We catch up with her in Geneva, Switzerland, where she is researching family members at the library of the International Committee of the Red Cross.

If you've ever been in a custody battle, you've likely been stunned and disturbed by the primal feelings it brought up inside of you-the rage towards the other parent trying to steal your child. And if you've never been in a custody battle, you've surely seen the headlines about parents kidnapping-or even killing-their child to prevent the other parent from getting custody. Just recently, a South Pasadena dad pled guilty to having murdered his son after taking him to Disneyland. He was in the midst of a custody battle and chose murder rather than let the boy's mom win custody. Today's family courts are often sites of tears, chaos, hasty rulings and mistakes that ruin kids' lives. Today's guest, Alexandra Lavinsky, is a family law attorney in West Los Angeles, who has seen it all. She opens her fascinating case files to share the good, the bad and the ugly. Decisions in family court are supposed to be made according to what is in the best interest of the child, but inequities abound.
It used to be so easy: pink for girls and blue for boys - and girls will be girls and boys will be boys was a common saying. Now it's yellow for non binaries? These days, too many parents think they're being cool and trendy to encourage their girls to be boys and boys to be girls. The result? A very confused generation. Today's guest, Michelle Cretella, M.D., President of the American College of Pediatricians, says parents who jump to conclusions and bring their child to gender clinics, the first time a girl seems like a tomboy, or a boy seems effeminate, the rush down the road to hormones and surgery, are committing child abuse. Sometimes it's because mom really wanted a girl and she got a boy, or other unconscious motives of parents. When kids say they feel they were born in the wrong body, it's a cry for help. They may have been abused or had other trauma that is making them feel this way.Today's show is not politically correct, but it is psychologically and medically correct.
The statistics are staggering! Did you know studies show that the older kids get, the more likely they are to stop reading? Why is this important? Because books are the foundation of kids' intellectual and emotional development! The books kids read influence them to choose a career, develop a love of animals, cope with childhood traumas like bullying and many other magical things. Today's guest, Linda F. Radke, President of Story Monsters and Publisher of Story Monsters Ink magazine, has created an empire devoted to encouraging kids to read and helping teachers, librarians and parents choose the best books. Hear her personal story of how she first got into publishing as an author 30 years ago, fell in love with it, and became a book and magazine publisher. Indeed, she's a matchmaker for authors and readers - and sends them on their way to living happily ever after!
Celebs feel lost once they've fallen out of the spotlight, so many turn to self-destructive behaviors. But, today's guest, George Green, is the epitome of reinvention and how to shine in other spotlights. For years, he worked at KABC Talk Radio, including as President and General Manager, putting his station on the map as the first 24/7 all talk radio--until a new company took over KABC and brought in their own, despite the success attributable to George. Out of the blue, he lost the spotlight from millions of listeners. Hear how he turned feeling hurt, embarrassed, angry and heartbroken into success as a talent manager, founder of an ad agency and media marketing consulting company, actor and author of 15 books. George turned his experience of losing his 'voice' in the spotlight into help for others. His book, Out Of The Spotlight, and his kids' books about animals losing their moo or meow and finding something better, reflect his life. He says,You're never too old to be creative!
Today's guest is living proof that it is never too late to turn your life around. Julie D. Summers, author of an upcoming memoir, OFF MY KNEES: From Skid Row to Sunset Boulevard, has seen it all. With a troubled and unavailable mom, who sends her off as a teen with a man who rapes her, and a dad who died when she was 12, Julie was left to fend for herself. An unwed mom at 18, persuaded to give her baby up for adoption, and desperate to get him back, she ends up in prostitution. Her life is a roller-coaster of jail, prison, addiction, affairs, Hell's Angels, and much more... until she lifts herself up and is finally successful at turning her life around. She becomes a landlord of an apartment building on Sunset Blvd. and dedicates herself to helping the homeless-for which she has won numerous awards. She hopes her story will prevent young people, currently in foster homes, from going into the penal system and to inspire anyone who has felt hopeless about turning their life around.
Political Correctness is not only stifling the American spirit, it is trying to take away our first amendment rights. And today's guest, Dr. Dathan Paterno, is a chilling example. Dr. Paterno, a clinical psychologist, was faced with being fired from the school board, having his license revoked and received death threats... all over a few tweets about the Women's March that some found offensive. This overreaction to alleged faux pas, in terms of Political Correctness, is rampant and people are being scapegoated for their use of free speech. Dr. Paterno and Dr. Carole discuss what the world is coming to: a far departure from when men were men and women were women. Between the clash of political agendas and sex roles, people are feeling lost and confused these days.
Do you want to live like a millionaire, but feel stuck in a barely-making-ends-meet job? Then today's show is for you. Marilyn Anderson, author of the new book, How to Live Like a Millionaire When You're a Million Short, has figured it all out and put it together on a silver platter just for you. Marilyn is the embodiment of the adage: necessity is the mother of invention. Not a millionaire herself, she has put her creativity and determination to good use, coming up with ways to get what she wants by being open to opportunities, seizing the day, and not being afraid to just ask. This book is part memoir and part well-researched secrets to living the high life regardless of your bank account. Want to know how to get front row theater seats at 1/10 the price? friends and family discounts at big department stores? free trips to exotic destinations? It's all there, and more.
Got stress? Who doesn't? Whether it's finding a soulmate in this crazy online dating world, worrying about family, friends or finances, or about terrorism and other chaos in the world, we are stressed to the max these days. Today's guest, Pamela Robins, author of Meditating with Animals, has the answer. After being faced with a relentless series of major life challenges, including the death of her mother, her own cancer diagnosis, vocal cord paralyzation, a divorce and letting go of her life as she knew it in order to find herself, she saw her animals were instrumental in getting her through it all. When she was strong again, she wanted to return to them the extraordinary gifts they had given her so that they would not be depleted of their own health and vitality. And so Meditating with Animals and The Animal Method were born. And today she is sharing these insights with us.
The controversial case of Massachusetts vs. Michelle Carter, is currently unfolding. She is charged with involuntary manslaughter for provoking the suicide of her boyfriend, Conrad Roy. Today's guest, John Michael Williams, a filmmaker from Boston, spent five years in the town of Bridgend in England studying suicide as the town was plagued by 99 suicides. John is an advocate for talking about suicide with young people, especially because technology now plays such a major part in their daily lives. Dr. Carole's take, from the information available so far, is that Michelle is a manipulative young woman who preyed on Conrad's vulnerabilities to fulfill her own narcissistic needs.
Has Pope Francis changed role of the papacy to be more political than religious? Does this hurt devout Catholics? According to today's guest, George Neumayr, the answer is a worrisome Yes. And, as a Catholic who loves the church, he wrote his new book, The Political Pope: How Pope Francis Is Delighting the Liberal Left and Abandoning Conservatives, to awaken the church to the danger. This book is the untold story of the left's efforts to politicize the Vatican and the battle to stop it-before the Catholic Church as we know it is destroyed. Pope Francis is the first pope to approve of adultery, flirt with proposals to bless gay marriages and cohabitation, tell atheists not to convert, tell Catholics to not breed 'like rabbits', and more. He even praises the Koran and encourages immigration, which is ironic since terrorists envision him as their prize target. Whatever your religious preference, you'll find this episode controversial and intriguing, if not extremely worrisome.
Anthony Weiner's latest sexting scandal proves that he needs to be on some psychiatrist's couch, so Dr. Carole puts him on hers today. She analyzes how his early childhood experiences caused him to feel inadequate as a man - and how Huma Abedin's turning him into a househusband emasculated him. Dr. Carole also explains what is making Weiner sabotage himself, and how his latest sexting in bed with his son may have serious repercussions when it comes to the inevitable custody battle. She does not let Huma Abedin off the hook, however, taking her to task for putting Hillary ahead of her son and husband. And she explains how previous politicians-from JFK to Bill Clinton to Schwarzenegger-have also been driven to prove and flaunt their power by achieving political and sexual conquests.
Today's guest, Fiona Lewis, has just released a most charming memoir, Mistake Were Made (Some in French). Although she's had a glamorous life as a model, actress and writer who has traveled the world, all women will identify with the personal conundrums she lays bare. And men will be intrigued. Struggling to find her identity, she is unconsciously drawn back to the South of France, the site of her happiest childhood memories, a respite from the clouds of her native England. Having then lived an enviable life in California, Fiona wakes up one day in her fifties and asks herself, Is this it? Is this the existence I’m meant to have? Her life has been full of adventure and privilege, but now, she feels lost. Realizing she has to find a way to reinvent herself, she impulsively-and against her husband’s wishes, buys a rundown chateau in the South of France. Alone, and in the interminable process of restoring the chateau, she contemplates her life and has epiphanies about love and herself.
Doctors are dropping like flies these days. Indeed, at least one doctor commits suicide every single day in America! And these are more likely the better doctors - those who have become depressed and disillusioned by the changes in medicine that have turned them into hamsters on a treadmill-to-nowhere but burnout! Today's guest, Michael F Myers, M.D., a 'doctor's doctor', has devoted himself to preventing this downward spiral in his own patients and in preventing physician suicide in general. His latest book is Why Physicians Die By Suicide: Lessons Learned From Their Families and Others Who Cared. Hear the most common reasons why doctors kills themselves and the most common emotions felt by those they leave behind.
In honor of May being Mental Health Awareness month, today's show features Allison Kugel, author of the newly released book Journaling Fame: A Memoir of a Life Unhinged and on the Record. Allison is a celebrity journalist who has interviewed more than 200 stars, from the Kardashians to Kristin Chenoweth, Stan Lee to Soprano's Joe Pantoliano, Melissa Rivers to many more. Allison speaks of her double life. On the inside, a woman struggling with anxiety, panic, depression, and obsessive compulsive disorder. On the outside, entertainment/pop culture journalist and celebrity confidante. But, this is not only an intimate memoir. Through this book, Allison is hoping to be the voice for people living with anxiety disorders, to help them break through the stigma and get help, just as she did.
Before dating websites and apps searched for happily-ever-after's, singles looking for 'the one' knew that real life matchmakers could be their best chance at finding love. This goes back to the 1940's when matchmaking businesses started to pop up. Today's guest, Penrose Halson, is the author of The Marriage Bureau: The True Story of How Two Matchmakers Arranged Love in Wartime London. In 1939, with WWII looming, Heather Jenner and Mary Oliver opened a marriage bureau. From shop girls to debutantes, widowers to war veterans, clients came in search of security, social acceptance or simply love. And most found what they were looking for. Fast forward 50 years to 1992 when Penrose Halson and her husband Bill were asked to take over running the Marriage Bureau. They continued to play cupid until 2000, and are still in touch with clients who make up the Bureau’s legacy. From London, Penrose shares heartwarming stories of the quest for love.

On the occasion of Holocaust Remembrance Day, it is important that people remember that the Holocaust is not just a horrid historical event from the past, but something that is still very much 'present' for victims and their families. Today's guests exemplify this presence. Leonia Kallir Kurgan is a Holocaust survivor who, at 4 years old, barely escaped from Poland, as the Nazis searched for and murdered the Jews. In her book, A Crowd of One, she has written about how her family managed to escape the concentration camps and their inability to escape the scars of the Holocaust. Susan Edel is a volunteer with the Tracing Department of Magen David Adom, the Israeli Red Cross. This is a special service that researches lost relatives all over the globe and tries to reunite families who have been broken apart because of the Holocaust. We catch up with her in Geneva, Switzerland, where she is researching family members at the library of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Dr. Carole puts today's headlines on her couch and analyzes what lurks behind them. Since the world is getting crazier each day, she provides you with an oasis of sanity by giving her psychological perspective on the news of the day. Dr. Carole takes you deeper into the stories, illuminating what makes these people and their situations tick. Today, she goes inside the mind of three top newsmakers: Steve Stephens, the Facebook murderer; North Korea's Kim Jong Un; and Dr. Jumana Nagarwala, the woman doctor arrested for performing female genital mutilations. All three have committed brutal unfathomable acts. What twists someone's mind to commit such an act? Listen to find out.
Political Correctness is not only stifling the American spirit, it is trying to take away our first amendment rights. And today's guest, Dr. Dathan Paterno, is a chilling example. Dr. Paterno, a clinical psychologist, was faced with being fired from the school board, having his license revoked and received death threats... all over a few tweets about the Women's March that some found offensive. This overreaction to alleged faux pas, in terms of Political Correctness, is rampant and people are being scapegoated for their use of free speech. Dr. Paterno and Dr. Carole discuss what the world is coming to: a far departure from when men were men and women were women. Between the clash of political agendas and sex roles, people are feeling lost and confused these days.
Do you ever feel your problems are insurmountable? Well, today's guest, Janine Shepherd, author of DEFIANT: A Broken Body Is Not A Broken Person, will inspire you to never give up. Her memoir chronicles her remarkable life as an Australian elite ski racer, known as “Janine the Machine,” who was hit by a truck during a bicycle ride in the Blue Mountains of Australia, just before competing in the Calgary Winter Olympics. Doctors did not expect Janine to survive after her accident, and when she did, they warned her that she would never walk again. She not only learned to walk again, she learned to fly. DEFIANT takes us from the pinnacle of elite athletics competition to the pain and fear of being wheelchair-bound and facing the shattering reality of life-threatening and permanent injury; from the exhilaration of flight to the struggle of taking one difficult step at a time on a long road to recovery, which continues to this day. Jeanine shares life lessons about dealing with adversity.
As we are increasingly driven to distraction in our technology driven world, it gets harder to keep our thoughts straight, no less find time and space for profound thoughts and meditation. Yet today's guest, James Kingsland, author of Siddhartha's Brain: Unlocking the Ancient Science of Enlightenment, explains why it has never been more important - from slowing aging to keeping us sane. Kingsland takes us on a journey, exploring how Siddhartha, better known now as Buddha, achieved enlightenment, and anticipated the findings of cutting-edge science by two millennia. Far from a New Age fad, the principles of meditation have deep scientific support for their efficacy, and have been proven to be effective in combating many of our modern problems. Siddhartha said, “Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think.” And as our chaotic world draws us farther from our inner selves, our ability to focus and control our own thought patterns has never been more challenged or essential.
With the world so on edge, there are undoubtedly more people contemplating suicide these days, so this episode explores: what could make a person feel that they can no longer go on living? Why would someone think that ending their life is the only option? Today's guest, Adele Paula Royce, author of The Little Black Book of Suicide Notes, presents a 'semi-fictional' look inside the mind and heart of a tortured soul on the verge of ending her own life. Royce wrote this book hoping to leave the reader more inspired to live life to the fullest and never take anything for granted. Dr. Carole adds her advice based upon having treated patients who considered suicide, but lived to talk about it, and were happy that their suicidal thoughts or attempts did not succeed.
Many of us struggle to keep up illusions - whether it's illusions of status, money, fame, beauty, kindness or other things - while we are in denial about what this pretense is costing us. Today's guest, Joan Juliet Buck, is the author of The Price of Illusion, a dazzling memoir just out today, in which she shares her personal story of growing up in a family where illusion was everything! Ms. Buck's story begins living life as a 'princess' in a pink marble palace in Paris, the daughter of movie royalty. But, the fairy tale comes to a crashing halt when her father's movie studio falters. She devotes herself to recreating the 'champagne days' for her parents - including by becoming the editor in chief of Vogue Paris, and contributing editor and writer at all the exciting magazines anyone who has a literary sense dreams of working at. But, her life isn't all glamorous travel and parties, as keeping up illusion has a large price tag....
This year's Academy Awards was a non-stop roller coaster that kept us on the edge of our seats, not knowing what was going to come next: a rant about politics? a joke that makes someone squirm? a flub by first-time host Jimmy Kimmel? an unexpected winner? But no one could have predicted Envelopegate - the fiasco ending that still has us scratching our heads in disbelief. Today's guest, former TV News Director and current Director of Media Operations at Relevant Media Agency, Ken Levine, was backstage covering the Oscars for the news ... and will tell us what really happened! How did the wrong envelope get into Warren Beatty's hands? Why didn't La La Land win? What else was going on behind the scenes? In other words, everything you wanted to know about the Oscars, but had no one to ask.
The most 'colorful' candidate to run for L.A. Mayor in years in Diane 'Pinky' Harman. Though some do not know what to make of her all pink attire, her rap videos and her leotard dancing, she is serious and sincere about wanting to be a voice for the people of Los Angeles who feel their issues are never addressed. She has a Master's degree in psychology, a California teaching credential, and has been an educator and an actress. Now she wants to add 'mayor' to her list of accomplishments - and is putting her money where her mouth is. Her passion to solve L.A.'s problems is so great, she's risking her retirement money on her campaign. Today's show is not an endorsement, it is an opportunity for an underdog to let us know what makes her tick. So who is this woman, really? Listen and find out.
Why do so many couples break up on Valentine's Day? Why is love so hard to find in the 21st century? Why do women fall for bad boys and guys fall for bad girls? What are the 12 different types of bad boys and bad girls? How does the perpetuation of sky high divorce rates make each generation more scared of intimacy than the last? Dr. Carole explains it all.
School shootings are tragic - but the solution is not arming police officers or teachers at schools - especially if they aren't trained in child or adolescent psychology. A recent case in point is the shooting of Logan Clark, a student at Hug High School in Nevada. Suffering from psychological problems - largely due to being bullied - Logan brought a knife to school to protect himself against these increasingly aggressive bullies. But, a trigger happy police officer shot first and asked questions later. Logan, who almost died, has a long road to recovery ahead - and his hopes of getting a scholarship to college based upon his athletic prowess are dashed. Today's guest, famed attorney David Houston, is taking Logan's case. He gives an update on the school's refusal to take responsibility, and what's really going on behind the scenes.
With all the tumult happening down here on earth, it's good to take some time to let our mind soar. Do you believe in angels or other spiritual beings? Today's guest, Bruce Van Natta, certainly does, after a near-death experience changed his life. According to medical science, Bruce should be dead. But, the two angels he saw, at the moment of his life-threatening accident, had other plans for him. Bruce went from being, what he describes as, a common everyday person, to the author of Saved by Angels, and the founder and president of Sweet Bread Ministries. Today's show is not about making you believe in any particular religion. It's about giving you some hope that - even in the darkest times - there may be angels looking out for you.
The sad day has come when government believes it has the right to tell parents what to put in their children's bodies... even if they know it will harm them. This is the crisis that parents face, being told that they must get their children inoculated with the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine even though it risks triggering autism. Today's guest, Kent Heckenlively, author of the new book, Inoculated: How Science Lost Its Soul in Autism, knows this tragedy firsthand. His previously healthy daughter, after receiving this vaccine, developed autism, and his son almost went the same path. His personal experiences sent him on a quest for the truth, and what he discovered is horrifying. His research proves The Centers for Disease Control's own studies showed a correlation between vaccines and autism, but they buried the results to avoid repercussions while countless autistic children suffer. The CDC, scientists and bigPharma must be punished for the atrocity they continue to perpetrate!
Although everyone is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, there's a staggering amount of evidence in the case of Michelle O'Connell's death that has not been allowed to get to court because the Florida town Sheriff has done everything he can to prevent even a grand jury. Michelle was a 24-year-old mother, who lived for the daughter she adored, had just gotten a promotion and was looking forward to a brighter future by leaving her abusive boyfriend, Jeremy, a sheriff's deputy. As she was packing her belongings to leave, she reportedly committed suicide-that is, if you believe her boyfriend's story. Today's guests include Patty O'Connell, Michelle's mother; Debra Maynard, former deputy sheriff, fired for reporting what she saw at the crime scene which points to homicide; and Clu Wright, a licensed PI, who has followed clues like a pro bono Sherlock Holmes. This scenario: woman murdered when she tries to leave her abusive man is typical. You decide: homicide or suicide?
You're in for one of Dr. Carole's rants today, as she analyzes the headlines and takes people to task for their bad behavior. First, she puts the Golden Globes on her couch, critiquing movies, praising Emma Stone for having the best speech of the night, and criticizing the divisive speech of Meryl Streep that provoked everyone to expect the worst from President Trump. Next she reveals evidence that points to the death of Michelle O'Connell being a homicide-not a suicide, and rants about the Florida sheriff covering up for the deputy who shot her. Finally, Dr. Carole saves the most blame for the incompetent Anchorage psychiatrists who treated the Florida airport terrorist. They should have recognized that his psychiatric symptoms were clearly predicting that he was a terrorist attack waiting to happen!
Society is on a runaway train: with ever-changing technology and lifestyles, global violence, volatile economies, single parent homes, stunning headlines... and more. It's beyond stressful for adults to cope with, imagine what it's like for kids. Today's guest, Bob Brill, award-winning journalist and broadcaster, is also a prolific author. By contrasting two of his books, Tales of My Baseball Youth: A Child of the 60's (a memoir) and Al Kabul: Home Grown Terrorist (a novel) --the disparity in childhood today vs. yesteryear's Norman Rockwell paintings, is chillingly apparent. Though baseball is still the national pastime because it resonates most deeply with America's soul, far fewer kids have the opportunity to play because more fatherless homes have meant fewer dads who are coaches. And the backdrop of kids' lives is now more closely aligned with the picture Brill paints of homegrown terrorists. Dr. Carole shares tips on how we can slow the train and bring back more wholesome times.

We've all had occasions, when it comes to sex, that our mind wanted to go one way and our body wanted to go another. There are many different rhymes and reasons for this to be so. One of the most elusive ones is when- unbeknownst to us- our hormones go awry. Today's guest, Ken Baker, is an award-winning author and journalist, Sr. Correspondent for E! News and E! Online. His new book, The Late Bloomer: A Memoir of My Body, delves into his own personal skirmishes between his mind and body - with unflinching honesty, intimacy and humor. Beginning in adolescence, Ken lived with an undiagnosed pituitary tumor that wreaked havoc with his hormones-causing him to feel confused and unable to perform sexually, along with many other problems. He's been called 'the man who almost missed puberty'. It is a true story and a poignant exploration of what it means to be male in today's society.
Today's show is a heartwarming and uplifting true story of one man's search for his biological parents, after having been given up for adoption as a baby. Philip Klaus knew nothing of his biological parents and no one would give him any clues. He loved his adoptive parents and didn't want to hurt them, so he waited until they had died before beginning the search for his 'real' parents. Philip's search, which he describes in his new book, Blood Ties, is filled with heartache, frustration and trepidation. But, his persistence is ultimately rewarded as he discovers why his biological parents had kept his birth a mystery and why they gave him up for adoption.
Bowe Bergdahl: who is he and why should we care? Charged with desertion from the Army and misbehaving before the enemy in Afghanistan, his future hangs in the balance today. Is he a traitor, mentally ill - or both? Today's guest, Luke Adler, is an award-winning former Marine and, after being honorably discharged, joined the U.S. Marshals Service, where he was involved in the apprehension of several of the Top 15 Most Wanted fugitives. He is the author of Chasing Bandits, true stories of bandits on the run who thought they could avoid capture. Dr. Carole believes the army slipped up in ignoring Bergdahl's history of psychiatric problems and allowing him to join its ranks. Should he now be court-martialed or has he been punished enough by his years in captivity and torture?
Although Dr. Carole thought she would not have to talk about the election anymore, since Trump won and Hillary conceded, it turns out that more headlines need to be analyzed on Dr. Carole's Couch. People, led by failed Green Party presidential candidate, Jill Stein, and the Clinton campaign, who are either in denial or are sore losers, or both - are calling for a recount in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Apparently, though Hillary made gracious concession speeches, she has been plotting since the day after the election to wrest the presidency from Trump. Today's guest, Matt Fitzgibbons, the founder and publisher of PatriotMusic.com and contributor to DailySurge.com, has been following these shenanigans closely and gives us his take on what's happening behind the scenes of the recount. Will a recount change anything? It is extremely doubtful. But, this hasn't stopped Trump's enemies from trying to overthrow him with a coup.
From high school to grad school, student protesters- unhappy about election results- are regressing to crying rooms and coloring books. Why? Because many in this overindulged generation feel entitled to get their way all the time. Some claim to be in fear for their lives or for those of their classmates, but their narcissism is showing. Others, with sociopathic traits, seize upon the media's false messages about Trump's campaign to express their own bigotry. Today's guest, Doug Giles, author of Pussification: The Effeminization of the American Male, and Founder and Editor of ClashDaily.com, calls out these protesters and says, The wuss gene is on full display. Even worse, many colleges are enabling them, giving in to their demands for perks to soothe their alleged emotional distress. It's a good thing modern warfare doesn't depend solely on boots on the ground - because many in the next generation are not up to the job. They'd run home to Mommy when things got uncomfortable.
As soon as the last trick-or-treater has left our doorstep (if not before), we're awash in a sea of holiday decorations and sales to push us into the mood to buy, buy, buy. But, November has a more profound meaning: a time to feel gratitude towards our veterans, our families and for all that we already have - from beautiful autumn leaves to our overstocked closets. Today's show honors veterans and the sanctity of Thanksgiving. Hale Bradt is the author of Wilber's War, An American Family's Journey Through World War II, a true story unearthed only upon the discovery of his father's letters. A raw look at the battlefront and the home front, it involves secrets, suicide and scandal - just as relevant today as ever. Kevin Paul Scott, entrepreneur, business-builder and author of 8 Essential Exchanges, urges retailers to stay closed on Thanksgiving. It's not only better for business in the long run, it's better for our national psyche to take this time for quiet gratitude over materialism.
Today is Election Day, but, if you think the chaos will end when the votes are tallied, think again. As a last hurrah, to try to wake listeners up before they go to the polls, Dr. Carole has invited Jennifer Burke, Editor-In-Chief of Politistick, to talk about some shocking and worrying news. For example, President Obama - on video - is brazenly seen telling illegals to vote and promising that they won't get caught! FBI Director Comey only pretended to do a real investigation of Hillary's new emails. As long as she didn't criticize President Obama, she was home free. Hillary's carelessness with her emails knew no bounds - she even enlisted her immigrant maid to print out classified information. And more. This election is opening our eyes to the sad fact that there are people in power behind the scenes who are turning America into a dictatorship. If we can't trust the justice department, the FBI, the media, the Secretary of State, then who can we trust?
We've all got it -- Election Stress Syndrome. On today's show, Dr. Carole delves into why we're suffering from it and what we can do about it. First, she looks at the latest election news - the emails found on Anthony Weiner's computer - and analyzes what the psychological impact is upon: Hillary, Trump, Huma Abedin, Anthony Weiner and the American people. Next, she provides you with news you can use: 'the cure for the Election Stress blues'.
Dr. Carole examines the disturbing epidemic of creepy clowns, which is threatening to make Halloween a nightmare. Today's guest, Randy Christensen, is the President of the World Clown Association. He shares his poignant story of what made him become a clown, and clarifies what's in the heart of a real clown, compared to those who don a creepy clown costume to frighten people. He also discusses the sad backlash that the creepy clown phenomenon is having on real clowns. Dr. Carole advises listeners about wearing any kind of clown costume for Halloween and how to protect yourself. In the second half of the show, she puts on her expert witness hat and talks about another type of 'clown': the women who are coming out of the woodwork to accuse Donald Trump of sexual harassment. Dr. Carole analyzes their 'cases' and points out the flaws, revealing that they are simply malingerers and 'bad girls scorned'.
We grow up believing our social studies teachers, when they tell us that we are all innocent until proven guilty. But, when today's guest, David Merkatz, learned that there was a warrant out for his arrest, he discovered that this isn't always true. In fact, just hours before this interview, David learned that he was still being pursued criminally for some simple promo idea he had used for his locksmith business. Though his experiences have been - and continue to be - a nightmare, he has turned them into something helpful for others by writing a book entitled Wrongly Charged. In it, he teaches the hard won lessons he has learned through his ordeal. His story is hard to believe, but true.
No matter who you plan to vote for, you need to hear this expose of the dangers that threaten the fabric of America: internet hacking and media bias - and ponder how they are hijacking our freedom to choose the next President. As we head toward Election Day, we think we have free choice, but do we really? Today's guests bring some disturbing new trends out of the shadows and shed light on them. David Kupelian is an award-winning American journalist, vice president of WND, editor of Whistleblower Magazine and author of three books, including most recently The Snapping of the American Mind: Healing a Nation Broken by a Lawless Government and Godless Culture. Michael Daugherty is a Senior Writer for Cyber Defense Magazine and author of The Devil Inside the Beltway: The Shocking Expose of the US Government's Surveillance and Overreach Into Cybersecurity, Medicine and Small Business.
Though headlines continue to remind us of the epidemic of rape on college campuses, little seems to be done about it. Indeed, we risk becoming desensitized to the scars this leaves on the rape victims, who remain faceless. Today's guest has come out of the shadows to confront her rapists at trial, and to urge other victims to find the courage to reclaim their lives. When Monica Korra, was contacted in Norway and offered a track scholarship, she traveled to Southern Methodist University in Dallas, as an Olympic hopeful. But, as a college sophomore there, returning home from a party one night, she was raped by three men and her life was changed forever. She's the author of Kill The Silence: A Survivor's Life Reclaimed, and today she tells us how she overcame the biggest race of her life... the race to survive.
Dr. Carole analyzes the first Presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. She points out the good, the bad and the ugly - as she gets into the heads of the candidates. You may agree with her strong opinions or not, but you will surely be given food for thought.
Although trust in politicians and the media is at an all-time low, we are still being influenced by them whether we like it or not! We need to hone our radar to be able to filter out what is propaganda and what is truth. And today's guest, Ed Brodow, will help us do just that. He's the author of the new book -- In Lies We Trust: How Politicians and the Media Are Deceiving the American Public. Just this week, for example, President Obama refused to acknowledge the explosions in New Jersey and New York City as terrorist attacks until it became ridiculous to continue denying it. It's time we wake up, stand up, and say, 'We're mad as hell, and we're not gonna take it anymore!'
In the aftermath of the memorials for the anniversary of 9-11, comes the story of a widow and her personal aftermath of the tragedy of September 11, 2001. Today's guest, Lisa Luckett, became a widow and a single mother of three children on that tragic day. But, instead of crumbling, she has managed to find a silver lining: 'I have learned that almost all scary, sad or traumatic experiences always come with silver linings. In society today, terrorism, tragedy and illness are in the news every day. It seems that death, pain and suffering is everywhere! What you don’t hear about as often is what comes with it: the unsolicited love, support, kindness and the beauty of the human spirit that appear out of nowhere to guide you and help you to heal.' In addition to honoring those who died on 9-11 - victims on the planes and on the ground, as well as first responders - we need to honor those who have found resilience and are spreading messages of healing and hope to others, like Ms. Luckett.
According to today's guest, Phyllis Schlafly, reverse sexism is the more obscure drag on America's recovery. Phyllis, named one of the most important women of the 20th century, is a national leader of the conservative and pro-family movements. She's a lawyer, author, radio host and founder of the Eagle Forum. Find out how reverse sexism is affecting your wallet.
Anthony Weiner's latest sexting scandal proves that he needs to be on some psychiatrist's couch, so Dr. Carole puts him on hers today. She analyzes how his early childhood experiences caused him to feel inadequate as a man - and how Huma Abedin's turning him into a househusband emasculated him. Dr. Carole also explains what is making Weiner sabotage himself, and how his latest sexting in bed with his son may have serious repercussions when it comes to the inevitable custody battle. She does not let Huma Abedin off the hook, however, taking her to task for putting Hillary ahead of her son and husband. And she explains how previous politicians-from JFK to Bill Clinton to Schwarzenegger-have also been driven to prove and flaunt their power by achieving political and sexual conquests.
School bells are ringing again... but do you really know what to expect? Today we go behind the scenes and get the real scoop from a New York City schoolteacher. Elizabeth Rose is the author of the new memoir, Yo Miz!: 1 Teacher + 25 Schools = 1 Wacky Year. When her job was cut, she was given an ultimatum: substitute in a different school each week or resign. She almost quit until she realized this would give her access to a very unique story. Ms. Rose exposes the truth you'll never get from journalists, because they're not allowed in, teachers, because they're afraid to risk punishment, school administrators, because they only tell the good stuff, and lawmakers, because they're clueless. Mary had a little lamb who followed her to school... shouldn't we know if today's little lambs are being led to slaughter?
Though the Olympic Games have begun with all seemingly quiet on the terrorist front... threatening clouds have been gathering. ISIS has been advertising for Portuguese speakers and announcing 'Lone Wolf from anywhere in the world can move to Brazil now.' They even suggest how and where to attack, targeting Americans, British, French and Israeli visitors to Rio. Already about a dozen men have been arrested on suspicion of plotting attacks for a Brazilian Islamist militant group called the Defenders of Shariah. Today's guest, Dr. Sean McFate, is a terror-security analyst, who served as a paratrooper in the U.S. Army's Airborne Division, and is a professor at the National Defense University and at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. His newest book is Shadow War: A Tom Locke Novel. Besides Zika, polluted water, crime, political unrest, body parts washing up on the beach and more, we are waiting for the ISIS shoe to drop.
To say former President Bill Clinton is a womanizer, or even a sex addict, is not news. But, you ain't heard nothing yet. Today's guest, Dolly Kyle, was 'Billy's' first and perhaps most enduring love. She recounts her story in her just-released book, Hillary-The Other Woman: A Political Memoir. Dolly met former president Clinton -Billy as she calls him- on a Hot Springs golf course when she was eleven and he was almost thirteen. It was love at first sight. Their friendship grew throughout high school and college. It became a decades-long affair that lasted despite marriages and politics all the way to the threshold of the White House—when she became a political liability, and he threatened to destroy her, as Hillary had done to so many of his other women over the years. Dolly's tale is both a love story and a story of survival, as she courageously comes forward with the truth.

Today's show puts the Democratic National Convention on Dr. Carole's Couch and analyzes what has been happening thus far and why. Today's guest is Ken Timmerman, a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize and author of the newly released book, Deception: The Making of the Youtube Video Hillary and Obama Blamed for Benghazi. Mr. Timmerman, who has done a painstaking analysis of the historical event and the movie, 'Desert Warrior' aka 'The Real Life of Muhammad,' exposes the true story: how, instead of saving American lives in Benghazi, Hillary was plotting a coverup. Instead of owning up to her responsibility in the massacre, she blamed a trailer on Youtube that, up until then, few had ever seen. Before you cast your vote, you must hear this, perhaps the most egregious in a legacy of lies.
It's a tsunami: every day there is news about cops killing blacks and blacks killing cops. Where will it end? Although some cops are too trigger happy, and shoot to kill instead of using the least force possible, most put their lives on the line every day to protect us. Black Lives Matter has become a terrorist organization - causing more havoc in the streets these days than 'real' terrorists. Today's guest, Lance LoRusso, a leading attorney, former law enforcement officer and author of When Cops Kill, takes us behind the scenes and gives his perspective on where this violence will lead.
With the Olympics less than one month away, we're witnessing a countdown to chaos! Yet, neither the International Olympics Committee, nor the World Health Organization, nor the U.S. or other countries are taking a stand to demand a postponement or switch to another venue. As if Zika isn't enough reason to stay home, there's political unrest, violent crime, polluted waters, financial disaster, even body parts washing up on the shore. First responders greet visitors at the airport with warnings that there is no security and police rely on neighbors for toilet paper! They are essentially laying out the welcome mat for terrorists who will find it child's play to slaughter athletes and visitors alike! Today's guest, Michael Karolchyk, CEO of Spartacus Strategies, Health Guru and sports analyst, takes us behind the scenes and into the minds of Olympic athletes. Find out who's dropping out and what their real reasons are....
Former President Bill Clinton seems exhausted on the campaign trail, as he goes after every last vote for Hillary. Is he trying to repay her for all the times she looked the other way when he sexually misbehaved?Indeed, there are those who say she was actually an enabler for his sexual addiction, that started way before the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Now some of these prior sexcapades are coming home to roost as the election campaign moves into high gear. Today's guest, Candice E. Jackson, is an attorney and best-selling author of Their Lives: The Women Targeted by the Clinton Machine, which includes the story of Juanita Broaddrick. Ms. Broaddrick has long alleged that former President Clinton raped her and that Hillary helped him cover it up. She has recently given a new interview to her biographer, Ms. Jackson, in the hopes that people won't forget her story and will reconsider trusting Hillary with more political power.
There are always more than enough headlines in our ever-crazier world for Dr. Carole to put on her couch, as she creates an oasis of sanity for you. Tune in to hear her laud the Brits for voting for Brexit to avoid being trampled by uncivilized immigrants who have ridden a Trojan horse carrying terrorists into Europe. She warns you to boycott Rio and ask the IOC to move or delay the Olympics because the city's chaos puts you in danger-from Zika to first responders on strike to dead body parts on the beach. There are rants to be had closer to home too-like the Texas mom who fatally shot her daughters but could've been stopped if the cops put her in a psych ward on one of the many times they were called to her home. And like Brock Turner's judge who should've recused himself before giving an outrageously short sentence. On the lighter side Dr. Carole reports, though some expert witnesses are for the birds, now a real parrot may testify after witnessing a wife kill her husband.
Although it has become predictable that a new terrorist attack will occur almost every day, it is still unpredictable exactly where the attack will occur. This makes us feel helpless and afraid, though our denial and our political correctness work against our seeing the reality. Today's guest, Mubin Shaikh, is co-author of the bestselling book, Undercover Jihadi and was one of two undercover counter terrorism operatives for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) in the 2006 Toronto Terrorism case. He is an expert in Islam-associated radicalization, extremism and terrorism. Shaikh was born in Toronto, to Indian parents who had emigrated from the United Kingdom. He is a Sunni Muslim.
At a time when both genocide and crimes against humanity are occurring at a breakneck pace, today's guest, British author Philippe Sands, has just released a timely book that traces the origins of these concepts. The origins of his book, East West Street: On the Origins of Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity, has its own origins in his desire to know his family's roots and unravel its secrets....
Prince's death is still shrouded in mystery. It has been attributed to an accidental overdose of Fentanyl, an opioid. But, where these pills came from is still under investigation. Did he get them illegally, or did doctors prescribe them, and if so, who? Is this yet another celebrity death caused by doctors treating them like 'special patients' and not doing the right thing because they didn't want to lose bragging rights? Several doctors are at risk for being sued for wrongful death. Today's guest, Jill F. Cohen, a D.C. attorney who specializes in medical malpractice, analyzes what each did wrong and the issues involved in filing a wrong death lawsuit today. Was Prince's death willful or wrongful? If he hadn't left the hospital against medical advice, would he have been saved? For how long? Was his death by pain pills inevitable, if he continued to refuse surgery to fix the medical problems causing his pain? Today's show explores these questions and more.
A tragedy occurred at the Cincinnati Zoo, when Harambe, an endangered species of gorilla, lost his life because a little boy's mother was negligent. A 3-year-old boy told his mom he wanted to go play with the gorillas. She told him, No, but then turned and attended to her other children. Meanwhile, her son continued his plan to play with Harambe and fell into the moat. Though video of Harambe shows him being gentle and protective with the boy, the zoo staff shot the gorilla... not wanting to take any chances with the boy's life. Today's guest, Dr. Lorin Lindner, is an animal activist, psychologist and the founder of animal sanctuaries that benefit veterans by engaging them in the care of these 'wounded warriors'-parrots and wolves. Dr. Carole predicts the boy's family will greedily sue the zoo, though mom is really to blame. She urges listeners to sign the petition on change.org, to be sent to the zoo, asking to have the parents investigated and to hold the parents responsible.
Former President Bill Clinton seems exhausted on the campaign trail, as he goes after every last vote for Hillary. Is he trying to repay her for all the times she looked the other way when he sexually misbehaved?Indeed, there are those who say she was actually an enabler for his sexual addiction, that started way before the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Now some of these prior sexcapades are coming home to roost as the election campaign moves into high gear. Today's guest, Candice E. Jackson, is an attorney and best-selling author of Their Lives: The Women Targeted by the Clinton Machine, which includes the story of Juanita Broaddrick. Ms. Broaddrick has long alleged that former President Clinton raped her and that Hillary helped him cover it up. She has recently given a new interview to her biographer, Ms. Jackson, in the hopes that people won't forget her story and will reconsider trusting Hillary with more political power.
Why is the film Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe causing such a media frenzy? Why was it banned from the Tribeca Film Festival? Could it be because what it has uncovered is so threatening to people who want to hide the truth? Today's show is 'Vaxxed Uncensored'. Guest, Karen Kain, who appears in the film, is the mother of Lorrin, a healthy baby until a vaccine caused seizures and turned her into a blind, non-verbal quadriplegic. Guest, Polly Tommey, a co-producer of the film, is the mother of Billy, a boy with autism, and founder of media outlets for autism awareness. With autism rates skyrocketing, and no other proven explanation in sight, you need to hear what these filmmakers have found. Yes, it's scary to consider that the CDC could be perpetrating a cover up, while more children are diagnosed with autism each day, but it's scarier not to know. Is Vaxxed 'anti-vaccine'? Is it about making vaccines safe? Or is it sensational hogwash? Listen and then you decide.
In honor of Mental Health month, today's show brings stigma out of the closet. Here to do just that are three guests who are about to start an Icebreaker Run across America. Chris Martin, Pam Rickard and Charlie Engle, are on the team of people in recovery from mental health issues, who will begin a 3,100-mile journey in order to shine a bright light on the power and possibilities of recovery from addiction, depression, PTSD, and other mental health illnesses. Personal glory is not the purpose of this historic trek. Instead, Icebreaker will invite the world to meet a group of runners that has struggled mightily with demons of every kind; enduring overdoses, incarceration and debilitating depression before finding a better life through recovery and running. They chose to call it Icebreaker because they plan to have a running conversation with America as they run from coast to coast. And this will break the ice to get others sharing and finding their path to recovery.
According to Joseph Agris, M.D., Osama Bin Laden could have been found long before the raid depicted in Zero Dark Thirty. In fact, this Texas plastic surgeon, who makes medical missions to Pakistan and Afghanistan, claims to have met Bin Laden and tried to warn the U.S. Secretary of State about the terrorist's continuing plans to destroy America - all to no avail. He recounts his story in Tears on The Sand: an American doctor's mission of mercy becomes the successful search for the world's most wanted man.
As we are increasingly driven to distraction in our technology driven world, it gets harder to keep our thoughts straight, no less find time and space for profound thoughts and meditation. Yet today's guest, James Kingsland, author of Siddhartha's Brain: Unlocking the Ancient Science of Enlightenment, explains why it has never been more important - from slowing aging to keeping us sane. Kingsland takes us on a journey, exploring how Siddhartha, better known now as Buddha, achieved enlightenment, and anticipated the findings of cutting-edge science by two millennia. Far from a New Age fad, the principles of meditation have deep scientific support for their efficacy, and have been proven to be effective in combating many of our modern problems. Siddhartha said, “Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think.” And as our chaotic world draws us farther from our inner selves, our ability to focus and control our own thought patterns has never been more challenged or essential.
The race to be president just got more surreal. Today's headlines range from the arrest of ice-cream kings, Ben and Jerry, for protesting in Washington, to the latest tempest in a teapot the media are exploiting to try to stop Trump. But, beyond daily wild speculation, the race to the presidency won't be over 'til the fat lady sings, so we're heading for the wildest days yet: the conventions and possible overthrow of the old rules.Today's guest, Ed Martin, President of Eagle Forum, attorney and political strategist, is an expert on conventions, as he was on the RNC for two years. He'll tell us if Trump could trump the rules of the Republican convention. And today's next guest, Wayne Allyn Root, politician, author, television producer, and political commentator, is exploring a run as a Republican for the U.S. Senate in Nevada in 2016. Ayn Rand said, America was created by men who broke with all political traditions...relying on nothing but the unaided power of their own intellect.
We'd all agree that hospitals can be scary places - from superbugs to surgery suites. But, did you know that some of them may also be haunted? It makes sense, since hospitals are at the vortex between life and death, the place where people enter and leave this world. Today's guest, Richard Estep, is a well-respected paranormal investigator and author of several books based upon his research. His latest book is The World's Most Haunted Hospitals: True-Life Paranormal Encounters in Asylums, Hospitals and Institutions. With a lifelong curiosity about the paranormal, Estep trots the globe gathering chilling stories, like the ones he writes about in this book from tales told by nurses, doctors and patients about ghosts and spirits.
Today's guest, Candace Heather, has just released her shocking memoir, The Suicide Gene: One slave, two masters. A memoir of survival and hope. The Suicide Gene is the brutally honest account of one woman’s desperate plight to escape the nightmare of her extreme food addiction only to be kept as a virtual slave for 23 years by the psychotherapist who had saved her life. It describes the shame, guilt and physical destruction caused by her eating disorder and how she came to be gradually drawn in by a cult-like therapist who ultimately would insist on complete subservience and obedience to his will. Dependent on him for all but the most basic decisions of daily life, she was to embrace years of sleep deprivation, psychological torture, verbal abuse, endless solitude and brain washing. Forced to have no contact with her family and to pay three-quarters of her income to her practitioner, the book tells how she survived the years of slavery and went on to escape her captor.
If migrants hadn't been allowed to swarm Europe, the Paris terrorist attacks might never have happened, or at least they could have been lessened or delayed while authorities got a better handle on the plot in formation. Yet, despite the ongoing overrun of Europe with migrants - amongst whom terrorists are hiding - Obama is putting out more welcome mats for over 10,000 Syrian 'refugees' to enter the U.S. The more ISIS terrorists who come to our shores in sheep's clothing, the closer we are to a Paris attack. Today's guest, Dan Perkins, is a foreign policy contributing writer, terror analyst and author of The Brotherhood of the Red Nile Trilogy. He warns us that our government is pushing fast forward on our destruction by ignoring that they are ISIS, not refugees.
The latest terrorist tragedy in Europe struck in Belgium today. ISIS has claimed responsibility and this is undoubtedly retribution for the recent capture of Abdesalem and their way to prove they're still a threat. We are speaking with today's guest, Dr. Colleen Rohowsky, CIV, OSD/DoDEA-Europe, live from Germany, where she is an official with the American Office of the Secretary of Defense/Department of Defense Education Activity-Europe. As part of her work, she was supposed to be in Brussels this week, and has barely missed the attack. She is in touch with her colleagues there and will give us a report from the frontlines. And my next guest, Arnold Dhanens, is live from Belgium, where he reports on events as they happen. He lives and works in Waterloo, in between the two attacks: the airport at Zaventem and the Brussels metro at Maalbeek.
Many books and films document a 1947 alien spacecraft crash near Roswell, New Mexico. Although most parents who were there have passed on, the children are still alive to tell the tale. But, the government does all it can to keep them quiet, while spinning a tale of its own. Today's guest, Tom Carey, author of The Children of Roswell: A Seven Decade Legacy of Fear, Intimidation, and Cover-Ups, explains why their voices should not be silenced
You may have watched the Oscars - or seen clips of it on other TV shows. But, wouldn't you like to know what really went on backstage, when the celebrities let their true feelings out - about diversity, politics, the nominees, security and more. And wouldn't you like to know what was in their swag bags? Today's guests will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about the Oscars, but didn't know who to ask. Ken Levine, winner of multiple Emmy Awards and Golden Mike Awards from the Radio and Television News Association for excellence in Television News Broadcasting, was there up close and personal, covering the Oscars for international news organizations. Michael Selsman, author of All is Vanity: Memoirs of a Hollywood Operative, is a former executive and producer at top Hollywood studios, agent and press agent, representing many celebs-including Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland. Both guests make formidable tour guides as they take you through the Oscars - past and present.
Before “Serial” and “Making a Murderer,” and before DNA evidence was a staple of trials on TV and in real life, an innocent man was sentenced to death. In 1985, Kirk Bloodsworth, a 23-year-old honorably discharged Marine was convicted of the rape and murder of a 9-year-old girl based on the testimony of five so-called eyewitnesses. As the prison librarian, Kirk found a book about the first time DNA was used to solve homicides in England. After nine years in prison, and many twists and turns, including a judge fortuitously saving the victim’s underwear, Kirk became the first death row prisoner in America to be exonerated and freed because of DNA evidence. His story has just been released in a documentary entitled, Bloodsworth: An Innocent Man.
As dating, courtship and marriage rituals are increasingly threatened by the online matching trends that provide a Mr. or Ms. Right-Now, more women are surprised by the sudden loud ticking of their biological clock. Indeed, biology and society have created a mandate that to be fulfilled, a woman must procreate. Today's guest, Melanie Holmes, challenges this. She's the author of the award-winning book, The Female Assumption: A Mother's Story, Freeing Women from the View that Motherhood is a Mandate. She explores the assumption that every woman wants to, should, or will be able to become a mother... and looks at the other options a woman has to be fulfilled. Perhaps the ticking clock means you need to overcome your fear of intimacy and find a good man to start a family with, or perhaps it means the time has come for some other path. Today's show will help men and women decide what's right for them.
Dr. Carole explores our preconceptions of domestic violence and turns them inside out. She reveals why the self-interest of the NFL and others makes them deny that Super Bowl Sunday is indeed the day when there's the highest amount of domestic violence. Dr. Carole then analyzes the profile of a perpetrator of such abuse, the type she's called The Prince of Darkness in her book, Bad Boys: Why We Love Them, How to Live with Them and When to Leave Them. She explains why women are attracted to these men and provides warning signals to help women recognize when they're in danger. Next, she comments on OJ Simpson, a classic Prince of Darkness, and analyzes the current TV series about him - American Crime Story.
The controversial case of Massachusetts vs. Michelle Carter, is currently unfolding. She is charged with involuntary manslaughter for provoking the suicide of her boyfriend, Conrad Roy. Today's guest, John Michael Williams, a filmmaker from Boston, spent five years in the town of Bridgend in England studying suicide as the town was plagued by 99 suicides. John is an advocate for talking about suicide with young people, especially because technology now plays such a major part in their daily lives. Dr. Carole's take, from the information available so far, is that Michelle is a manipulative young woman who preyed on Conrad's vulnerabilities to fulfill her own narcissistic needs.
There is no question that Hollywood needs more diversity, but is Jada Pinkett Smith boycotting the Oscars to help all African Americans, or is it sour grapes because her husband, Will, wasn't nominated? Today's guest is reeling from a similar boycott. When Dave Christiano, producer/director of the upcoming film, Remember the Goal, posted his trailer on social media, he received a backlash of hate. People wanted to know why their were no black actors in his movie about a high school girls' cross country team. Dave, a former cross country runner and coach, himself, is passionate about presenting his sport as accurately as possible. He says, The reason why my cast of runners is all Caucasian is because 99.9% of the girls who run cross country in America are Caucasian. He asks, Should the NBA be forced to draft old short white men? Today's controversial show presents all sides-and reminds listeners of many past African American Oscar winners.
Did you get swept up in Powerball fever? Were you fantasizing about how great your life would be if only you won and now you're feeling let down? Did you spend more than you should have on tickets and now you regret it? Well, don't despair. Today's show will help you find the 'fortune' in your seeming 'misfortune' and show you a different path to riches. The first thing people say that they would do if they won the lottery is to quit their job. Today's guest, Pat Pattison, a highly sought after career and executive coach, teaches you how to turn your life around from a job you'd love to quit to one you wouldn't quit even if you did win the lottery.
More and more headlines relate to the horrendous treatment of gays, lesbians and transgenders - not just by adults, but by schoolchildren. Recent headlines include a high school student who describes himself as a gender-non-conforming gay person suing his school for insensitivity to bullying, and the controversy over transgender kids and school bathrooms. How do you protect the psychological well-being of all children? How does increasing sensitivity to sexual orientation affect children who are too young to even fully understand sexuality? Today's guest, Dr. Elizabeth Meyer, is a professor at California Polytechnic State University in the School of Education, the author of Gender, Bullying and Harassment, and the editor of Supporting Transgender and Gender-Creative Youth. Her experience as a former high school teacher has given her an inside perspective.
President Obama is abusing his power once again, this time to make an Executive Order increasing gun control, despite the 2nd Amendment having guaranteed us this freedom. But, you may be thinking guns are bad, right? So, why is his order dangerous? Many reasons, especially at a time when the terrorist threat is higher than ever. Today's guest, Erich Pratt, Executive Director of Gun Owners of America, explains the nuances of the President's speech and why it takes us further down the slippery slope of losing more of our freedom. In a perfect world no one would need a gun and we would all love each other and live in peace. Unfortunately, we have a ways to go to make it a perfect world.
At a time when good teachers are in such short supply because of low pay and aggressive students, it is sad when one such good teacher, namely Tonya Craft, is forced out because of false accusations of sexual molestation. She's the author of the new memoir, Accused: My Fight for Truth, Justice and the Strength to Forgive. Once a well-respected kindergarten teacher and loving mother, Tonya's world turned upside-down when three little girls (including one of her own), were manipulated into accusing her of molestation. She was presumed guilty until her trial finally acquitted her of all 22 counts - but not before she lost her home, career, reputation, savings and most importantly, her two children. Hear how grown 'mean girls', ex-husbands, investigators too ready to jump to conclusions, and the justice system almost locked an innocent woman away. Now pursuing a law degree, Tanya passionately helps others trapped in similar situations.
Dr. Carole takes you behind the headlines and gives you her psychiatrist's perspective, in the hopes of providing an oasis of sanity during these 'crazy' times. She delves into the Miss Universe pageant fiasco and the psychological scars this has left on Miss Colombia and the other contestants. To put this 'tragedy' into perspective, she then examines the mind of the driver who plowed into pedestrians just outside the doors of the Las Vegas pageant. Dr. Carole rants at the injustice of the Texas grand jury not finding the jailers liable for the alleged suicide of Sandra Bland. And she looks at the irony of two events occurring in Kenya related to terrorism: the Air France plane that made an emergency landing there and the bus that was attacked. She ends on this good news: the bravery of the Muslim passengers who protected the Christians by telling Al-Shabaab terrorists that they were not going to save themselves-they had to kill them all or leave them all alone.
As people are packing their bags for holiday trips - during this time of unpredictable world events - today's guest provides personal stories and tips for safer travel. Wendy Knecht, author of Life, Love, and a Hijacking: My Pan Am Memoir, shares her experiences as a stewardess - the highs, the lows and all she learned in between. From her vantage point of knowing the travel industry from the inside, she is especially knowledgeable about what you should do from: packing to airport to plane and even on the ground at your destination. We talk with her as she's packing to go to Morocco this holiday season, proving that she still thinks the skies are friendly enough to fly.
You've probably never thought of autism as a miracle, but for today's guest, Elaine Hall, it certainly is. Elaine was a top acting coach in Hollywood, until she decided it was time to adopt a little boy from Russia. This angel, whom she named Neal, changed the path of her life forever - not just because she became a mom, but because he was soon diagnosed with autism. Her life became centered around how to connect with him, teach him, and bring out his full potential. She broke new ground in doing so, that she's since come to share with families all over the world who have autistic children. The United Nations selected Elaine's memoir, Now I See the Moon: A Mother, a Son, and the Miracle of Autism, for World Autism Awareness Day. And her second book, Seven Keys to Unlock Autism, has won honors, as well. She is the Founder/Creator of The Miracle Project, which helps autistic children through the arts, the same way she created a miracle in her son. Please share this hope with others.
Today's guest, political commentator Allen West, is a canary in the coal mine... and we would do well to listen to his warning song before it's too late. As a U.S. Army Lt. Colonel, awarded a Bronze Star and other medals, and as a former Florida Congressman, he is on a mission to stop the U.S. from continuing down its self-destructive path and to return to the principles the country was founded on. He points out the tragic irony that we remembered 9/11, both in 2001, and in 2012 with Benghazi, on the day the Iran nuclear resolution (was) being considered by Congress. He calls the refugee migration from the middle east a huge danger and a Trojan horse flooding Europe and soon the U.S. Here he discusses these hot-button issues and more, as well as his bestselling book, Guardian of the Republic: An American Ronin's Journey to Faith, Family and Freedom. It is a must-listen hour for any American concerned about the slippery slope we're on, and for anyone who cherishes freedom.
Although it has become predictable that a new terrorist attack will occur almost every day, it is still unpredictable exactly where the attack will occur. This makes us feel helpless and afraid, though our denial and our political correctness work against our seeing the reality. Today's guest, Mubin Shaikh, is co-author of the bestselling book, Undercover Jihadi and was one of two undercover counter terrorism operatives for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) in the 2006 Toronto Terrorism case. He is an expert in Islam-associated radicalization, extremism and terrorism. Shaikh was born in Toronto, to Indian parents who had emigrated from the United Kingdom. He is a Sunni Muslim.
If migrants hadn't been allowed to swarm Europe, the Paris terrorist attacks might never have happened, or at least they could have been lessened or delayed while authorities got a better handle on the plot in formation. Yet, despite the ongoing overrun of Europe with migrants - amongst whom terrorists are hiding - Obama is putting out more welcome mats for over 10,000 Syrian 'refugees' to enter the U.S. The more ISIS terrorists who come to our shores in sheep's clothing, the closer we are to a Paris attack. Today's guest, Dan Perkins, is a foreign policy contributing writer, terror analyst and author of The Brotherhood of the Red Nile Trilogy. He warns us that our government is pushing fast forward on our destruction by ignoring that they are ISIS, not refugees.
As soon as the last trick-or-treater has left our doorstep (if not before), we're awash in a sea of holiday decorations and sales to push us into the mood to buy, buy, buy. But, November has a more profound meaning: a time to feel gratitude towards our veterans, our families and for all that we already have - from beautiful autumn leaves to our overstocked closets. Today's show honors veterans and the sanctity of Thanksgiving. Hale Bradt is the author of Wilber's War, An American Family's Journey Through World War II, a true story unearthed only upon the discovery of his father's letters. A raw look at the battlefront and the home front, it involves secrets, suicide and scandal - just as relevant today as ever. Kevin Paul Scott, entrepreneur, business-builder and author of 8 Essential Exchanges, urges retailers to stay closed on Thanksgiving. It's not only better for business in the long run, it's better for our national psyche to take this time for quiet gratitude over materialism.
Do you know what your kids - and other people's kids - are learning in school these days? It's called Common Core - and it is Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World rolled into one, turning our kids into robots. Today's guest, Donna Hearne, is the author of The Long War & Common Core: Everything You Need to Know to Win the War!. You will be shocked to discover the misinformation, revisionist history, and replacement of classic literature by irrelevant technobabble that is being taught in school. Even more shocking is how Big Brother is captivating our children's facial expressions and other intrusive personal information as they sit in front of a computer, taking standardized tests, instead of by pencil and paper. It's not about teaching kids how to think anymore, it's about dumbing down our kids so that they cannot resist Big Brother's nefarious plans to wrest more control and destroy America's freedom.
According to legend, Halloween began as the night when spirits of the dead hunt for bodies to possess. In order to avoid becoming possessed, people left out food or wore disguises, and this turned into our current custom of trick-or-treat. It is no wonder then, that real life crimes increase on this night, and demons come out in force. Today's guest, Lisa Collier Cool, is the author of the bestselling book, Deliver Us From Evil, which became a major motion picture. It is based upon the investigations of haunted houses and cases of demonic possession of her co-author, Ralph Sarchie, a New York City police Sergeant who moonlights as a demonologist. The book begins with one of the spookiest cases, the case of the Halloween Horror. Ms. Collier Cool is the bestselling author of six books and winner of 19 journalism awards, after writing more than one million words for America's leading magazines, newspapers and websites.

Dr. Carole can't help ranting at the headlines to try to wake her listeners up to what's really behind all the insanity in the world. Today, she provides a psychiatrist's perspective on: the Oregon college shooting and the pattern these mass shooters fit, the lawsuit against the psychologists who designed the CIA torture program, the mindset of Jim Carrey's girlfriend who committed suicide, and the woman who sued her nephew whose exuberant greeting, at age 9, accidentally broke her wrist. In her continuing commitment to make her show an oasis of sanity, Dr. Carole dissects these stories to help you hone your own analytic view of future headlines.
Though headlines continue to remind us of the epidemic of rape on college campuses, little seems to be done about it. Indeed, we risk becoming desensitized to the scars this leaves on the rape victims, who remain faceless. Today's guest has come out of the shadows to confront her rapists at trial, and to urge other victims to find the courage to reclaim their lives. When Monica Korra, was contacted in Norway and offered a track scholarship, she traveled to Southern Methodist University in Dallas, as an Olympic hopeful. But, as a college sophomore there, returning home from a party one night, she was raped by three men and her life was changed forever. She's the author of Kill The Silence: A Survivor's Life Reclaimed, and today she tells us how she overcame the biggest race of her life... the race to survive.
As this show airs, the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting is taking place in New York City. Today's guests, members of the Initiative, take us there live to find out what's happening behind closed doors. Anne Goddard, the CEO of Child Fund, just received a Global Citizen Award at the meeting, for her work setting up childcare centers in disaster-torn countries, beginning with the ebola outbreak in Africa. Camille van Gestel, founder of Waka Waka, just announced that his company, which produces solar lamps, surpassed their commitment to empower one million people with electricity.
It's easy to be cynical in a world where we're bombarded with bad news every day, but today's show and the work these guests, and others in the Clinton Global Initiative, are doing to make the world a better place, will keep you smiling and feeling more positive about a better tomorrow.
Bowe Bergdahl: who is he and why should we care? Charged with desertion from the Army and misbehaving before the enemy in Afghanistan, his future hangs in the balance today. Is he a traitor, mentally ill - or both? Today's guest, Luke Adler, is an award-winning former Marine and, after being honorably discharged, joined the U.S. Marshals Service, where he was involved in the apprehension of several of the Top 15 Most Wanted fugitives. He is the author of Chasing Bandits, true stories of bandits on the run who thought they could avoid capture. Dr. Carole believes the army slipped up in ignoring Bergdahl's history of psychiatric problems and allowing him to join its ranks. Should he now be court-martialed or has he been punished enough by his years in captivity and torture?
The controversial case of Massachusetts vs. Michelle Carter, is currently unfolding. She is charged with involuntary manslaughter for provoking the suicide of her boyfriend, Conrad Roy. Today's guest, John Michael Williams, a filmmaker from Boston, spent five years in the town of Bridgend in England studying suicide as the town was plagued by 99 suicides. John is an advocate for talking about suicide with young people, especially because technology now plays such a major part in their daily lives. Dr. Carole's take, from the information available so far, is that Michelle is a manipulative young woman who preyed on Conrad's vulnerabilities to fulfill her own narcissistic needs.
Somebody's got to do it... take a hard-hitting psychological look at the real story behind the headlines. Today, Dr. Carole tackles the fallout of the Ashley Madison hack: why so many of us are having affairs and why you should call a psychotherapist before a divorce lawyer; why Europe and the U.S. cannot afford to take in the flood of migrants; why the nuclear treaty with Iran spells 'Death to America!'; why we need to break through our denial of the terrorist threat; how Kim Davis should be praised for being willing to go to jail for her beliefs regardless of how you feel about gay marriage; and why the lion-killing dentist should be punished for his cowardly ways.
School bells are ringing again... but do you really know what to expect? Today we go behind the scenes and get the real scoop from a New York City schoolteacher. Elizabeth Rose is the author of the new memoir, Yo Miz!: 1 Teacher + 25 Schools = 1 Wacky Year. When her job was cut, she was given an ultimatum: substitute in a different school each week or resign. She almost quit until she realized this would give her access to a very unique story. Ms. Rose exposes the truth you'll never get from journalists, because they're not allowed in, teachers, because they're afraid to risk punishment, school administrators, because they only tell the good stuff, and lawmakers, because they're clueless. Mary had a little lamb who followed her to school... shouldn't we know if today's little lambs are being led to slaughter?
Today we'll take a nostalgic look back at the past, and follow the journey into the present, of two men, who played significant roles in Woodstock and the Vietnam War. There would not have been a Woodstock had it not been for Elliot Tiber who saved it. He has since gone on to write Taking Woodstock, which was made into a feature film, Palm Trees on the Hudson, and his newest memoir, After Woodstock: The True Story of a Belgian Movie, an Israeli Wedding, and a Manhattan Breakdown. Tiber's journey reflects a man who created a Forrest Gump life for himself, running from one milestone to another. While Woodstock was happening in New York, Danny Lliteras, was serving in Vietnam. Unlike Elliot, Danny has responded to this concurrent historic event by running inwards, and writing about his experience in a semi-autobiographical book entitled Viet Man: a novel. He has also written about his post-Vietnam experience in the book Flames & Smoke Visible. One era, two different journeys.
Ever wonder where this epidemic of white cops killing black males will end? Today's guest, Vincent Hill, a black former police officer, and current top PI, takes us behind precinct walls for the real scoop on racial profiling, police training, and the vicious cycle of fear - of cops and by cops - that society is struggling with today. Hill shares his views on the Isaiah Washington-Chris Rock 'driving while black' controversy, toy guns, and more. He tells us what inspired him to become a police officer, despite his run in with a prejudiced cop. Vincent Hill is also the author of the true crime series, Playbook to a Murder and Incomplete Pass, based upon his own investigations of the Steve McNair murder.
Time for another Dr. Carole rant - as she goes behind the headlines and gives you the real scoop from a psychological perspective. Today she'll give her views on the Republican debate and why so many love Trump, the devastating impact on kids of Miss Piggy and Kermit's divorce, why the James Holmes' jury is out for blood, why Sandra Bland’s death is not likely suicide, and how men who hunt big lions in Africa are overcompensating for their small manhood!
Think the barrage of violent news has no effect on young people? Think again. As a teen, David Foys became obsessed with the relentless coverage of a little girl's rape and murder, to the point of believing he was responsible. Now all grown up, with a degree in criminal justice, he's turned his diary of teenage angst into a book: Essential Innocence, and lets us peek inside his troubled mind.
Listen as Dr. Carole analyzes the Colorado movie murderer. What was his motivation? Is he mentally ill? What's up with his psychiatrist? Which Batman characters is he copycating? What does violent media have to do with it? What do his ads for hook-ups mean? Could he have been stopped? And more, as Dr. Carole puts James on her couch.
Today's guest, a world renowned authority on Islam, warns us about the dangerous direction America is heading. IQ Al Rassooli was born in Iraq, with a mother tongue of Arabic, so he fully understands the nuances of the writings, spoken word and body language of Islam, and is dedicated to teaching the West about what is really being expressed. This is particularly important at a time when Obama is pushing a nuclear treaty with Iran that spells disaster for the U.S. and the rest of the world. He refers us to a video of Obama, and interprets what Obama is signaling: his true sympathies and chilling agenda. IQ Al Rassooli is the author of Lifting the Veil: The True Faces of Muhammad & Islam, which is the transcription of his YouTube series, Idiots Guide to Islam.
Ever wonder what's going through your dog or cat's mind? What about a bird or an elephant? Today's guest, Carl Safina, has not only wondered about it, he's devoted his life to exploring man's relationship with nature and how 'non-human' animals think and feel. We forget that we are animals, too, and minimize the ability of animals to have sophisticated inner lives, form relationships and have emotions. Mr. Safina, author of the new book, Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel, explains how and why animals are being threatened more by man today than ever before, and what this means for them - and us.
Most of us are afraid to face our own mortality. We pretend we'll never die, in part because we don't really know what's on the other side. Today's guests have faced death in different ways, and share their experiences to empower us to live a better life. Heather Lende, an Alaskan obituary writer, and author of Find the Good, says, We are all writing our own obituary every day by how we live. The best news is that there's still time for additions and revisions before it goes to press. Peter Bedard was a dancer until he was slammed into the back of a semi-truck and almost died. He's had similar experiences that left him close to death, and has made it his mission to help others heal. He is an alternative health expert and author of Convergence Healing: A 7 Step Process to Lovingly Heal Your Pain. These guests will awaken you from simply existing to really living.
Nice guys can't get dates, but serial killer Charles Manson has women dying to marry him. Even his mother didn't love him, but Afton Elaine Burton, aka Star, tells us she's his bride-to-be. She also claims he's innocent. Is she truly in love or does she have ulterior motives - like fame and fortune? Manson, a sociopath, is not capable of love, or has he mellowed in his twilight years? Here to answer these questions and more is Marlin Marynick, author of Charles Manson Now, and mental health professional, who got to know Manson up close and personal.
With the two escaped convicts still on the loose, thanks to Joyce Mitchell, the prison staff worker who fell in love and provided them with the tools, everyone wants to know why women fall in love with bad boys - like these ruthless murderers. I describe this Lethal Lover type of bad boy in my book Bad Boys: Why We Love Them, How to Live with Them & When to Leave Them. As it turns out, Joyce, who apparently loves to cheat on her husbands with men she meets at work, is a bad girl. She fits the Married Woman on the Prowl type that I describe in my bad girls book: Bad Girls: Why Men Love Them & How Good Girls Can Learn Their Secrets.
The White House would have us believe that we're winning the war on terror, but are we? Today's guest, John Sutherland, author of iGuerilla - Reshaping the Face of War in the 21st Century, warns us about what is not being revealed in mainstream media. Sutherland coined the term iGuerilli to describe the Jihadists who use the internet and computer technology to their military advantage. He reports that it is not ISIS in Iraq, but what is happening in the American front yard, that may be the greater danger. He explains how our political correctness is being used against us, with terrorists working to destroy Western Civilization from within, in a kind of grand Jihad.
More and more headlines relate to the horrendous treatment of gays, lesbians and transgenders - not just by adults, but by schoolchildren. Recent headlines include a high school student who describes himself as a gender-non-conforming gay person suing his school for insensitivity to bullying, and the controversy over transgender kids and school bathrooms. How do you protect the psychological well-being of all children? How does increasing sensitivity to sexual orientation affect children who are too young to even fully understand sexuality? Today's guest, Dr. Elizabeth Meyer, is a professor at California Polytechnic State University in the School of Education, the author of Gender, Bullying and Harassment, and the editor of Supporting Transgender and Gender-Creative Youth. Her experience as a former high school teacher has given her an inside perspective.
As gender roles continue to get more and more confusing, and the question of whether women can really have it all remains unanswered, today's show explores the debate between feminists and the Fascinating Womanhood movement. Who is really happier - the career woman attached to her cell phone like an umbilical cord, or the housewife and mother attached to her husband and diapers? Today's guest, Julie Neuffer, is the author of a new book, entitled Helen Andean and the Fascinating Womanhood Movement. Are you stuck in a lackluster marriage, or wondering if you've struck the right balance between career and motherhood? Fascinating Womanhood, an anti-feminist philosophy, might just help you discover the light at the end of the tunnel. You've heard the opinions of Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem.

Almost every day there's news of another celebrity couple breaking up, getting a divorce or filing for custody. Jon Gosselin, of Jon & Kate Plus 8 fame, has just filed for custody of his 11-year-old daughter, Hannah. And today, Bristol Palin and her fiance cancelled their wedding. They didn't even make it to the altar, though this is better than rushing ahead only to get divorced later. Robert Pattinson wavered about getting a prenup with FKA Twigs, despite being betrayed by Kristin Stewart. When celebs file for divorce their dirty laundry is hung out for all to see. Though this makes their struggles worse for them, it allows you to contemplate whether divorce and custody fights are what you really want.

Do you sometimes wish that you could escape the bad news of the day - unending headlines about violence and death? Today's show takes you to a more mystical or spiritual place, where you listen to your intuition instead. Modern Mystic, Paddy Fievet, takes you on her journey: from being an intuitive child whose expanded awareness was squelched by her strict proper family, to a good wife whose marriage was making her ill, to a reawakened woman who bursts forth from her cocoon as a butterfly and has mystical experiences around the world. Her passion is to teach others how to get in touch with their own 'mystical' powers and experience deeper consciousness.
In honor of Mother's Day, today's show profiles a woman who is as close to a super-mom as one can expect to find. PJ Jonas has found a way to combine supporting her family with a more down to earth lifestyle. She and her husband took a leap of faith, giving up a life in which they worked corporate-type jobs, and lived beyond their means, to move to a farm with their 8 children, and sell goat soap. People told them they were crazy to take this risk, but they are now enjoying a life where teaching their children important family values like love, integrity and kindness take priority over material wealth. Nonetheless, all working together, they have managed to turn their goat milk farm into a thriving business. Listen to PJ provide families with a blueprint, as to how they can give up being on a 9 to 5 treadmill, for a much more fulfilling life.
Though nothing could compensate Holocaust victims or their families for the atrocities that the Nazis committed, the reclaiming of family treasures stolen by the Nazis brings some sense of pride and peace. The movie, Woman in Gold, tells the story of one woman's quest to recover a stolen family portrait. Today's guest, E. Randol Schoenberg, (played by Ryan Reynolds in the movie), is the attorney who took her case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and the Austrian judicial system - and won.

Sure, some movies have been made about them, like the classic Bugsy, but, today's guest, Bill Friedman, debunks these myths. He's spent almost his whole life befriending gangsters - and those who loved and hated them - while researching his new book, 30 Illegal Years to the Strip. Bill became fascinated with gambling from the time he was 7 years old and his parents took him to a casino.

Ever wonder where this epidemic of white cops killing black males will end? Today's guest, Vincent Hill, a black former police officer, and current top PI, takes us behind precinct walls for the real scoop on racial profiling, police training, and the vicious cycle of fear - of cops and by cops - that society is struggling with today.

Today, Dr. Carole puts GermanWings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz on her couch and analyzes his psyche - from his cradle to his grave, and the grave of the plane-load of passengers he took down with him. What does suicidal tendencies really mean, and when should it stop a pilot from flying? What is a psychosomatic illness? Why would he kill himself if his girlfriend was going to have his baby? When should doctors break confidentiality and tell an employer about their patient's mental or physical health?

All these questions and more will be answered by your host, Dr.Carole, who has evaluated pilots in the course of her work as a psychiatric expert witness.

In light of the ongoing trial of Marathon Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, it must be asked: how did this happen and how many more bombers are waiting to strike? Today's guest, Dr. Charles Jacobs, President of Americans for Peace and Tolerance, warned the FBI, 3 years before the Boston Marathon Bombing, that such was likely to happen. If the FBI had listened, 3 deaths and approximately 264 injuries could have been prevented. Dr. Jacobs warns us that our political correctness is a suicide bomb of our own making. How many more Tsarnaev brothers are being cloned right now, radicalized in mosques all over America? Too many.
Are you hung up on some feature of your face or body that makes you feel like damaged goods? Well, today's guest has been there. Listen as he shares his personal story of how he managed to overcome his body image issues and thrive in an environment - the media - which is even more obsessed with appearance than the world in general. In his new book, The Perception Myth: A Guide to Challenging Your Personal Myths and Discovering Your Inner Greatness, Brad Wheelis combines personal memoir with a map for others to follow in order to overcome obstacles and achieve fulfillment, just as he has.
Obama would have us believe that Netanyahu's speech to Congress is like the boy who cried wolf. But, Netanyahu may well be the canary in the coal mine, trying to warn us of Iran's secret nuclear weapon plans to envelop the entire world with its tentacles of terror. Today's guest, David Rubin, is coming to us from Israel. He is the former Mayor of Shiloh, Israel, and the author of Sparks from Zion, which is hot off the press. It is tempting to think of Netanyahu as simply a prophet of doom, and to dismiss his concerns about Iran because of our own fears of nuclear war. But, when the canary in the coal mine stops singing.... it is too late. Rubin will also reveal why Obama is meddling in Israeli elections and spending our tax dollars to fund the political party opposing Netanyahu's re-election.
Drama - whether in an Oscar-nominated film on the big screen or in a play in an intimate theater - leaves footprints on its audience. We can't help but be changed by what we have just seen. Our unconscious mind keeps recording our experiences, barely distinguishing between personal drama and that which is on the stage or screen. Today's guests are currently involved in the play God of Carnage: A comedy about adults behaving badly at the Malibu Playhouse. Graeme Clifford, as the Director/Producer, A Martinez as Michael Novak, and Kathleen Dunn, as Veronica Novak, take the audience on a roller-coaster ride of emotions.
Have you seen 50 Shades of Grey? Has it made you want to run out and buy some whips and find a partner who wants to play a painful erotic game? Most guys would like to be as hot as Christian Grey, which makes his BDSM games seem tempting to try at home. Are women going to be as strong as Anastasia and leave when the games stop being fun and start to be sexual abuse - or will they submit rather than risk losing their whip-happy man? 50 Shades is entertaining, but will it spark a rise in domestic violence? Dr. Carole, concerned about this danger, puts Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele on her couch.
Ever wonder what goes on underneath the stern demeanor and black robes of judges? Though endowed with power to make life-changing decisions, they are human, after all, and can't help but be influenced by experiences in their own life. Today's guest, Robert Braithwaite, U.S. magistrate judge, is the author of the new book, Have Gavel Will Travel: A National Park Judge Reflects on Truth, Justice, and Why Every Juror Deserves a Doughnut. He presides over all kinds of cases - from parking tickets to divorce, rape and murder. And what happens in a national park doesn't stay in a national park. It often ends up in Robert Braithwaite's courtroom-or sometimes on his kitchen table. Over a lifetime of administering justice, he saw everything from canoodling nudes to sheep hunters with drones to downright dangerous drug cartels. And today, he'll step out from behind the bench to reveal his secrets.
You read the headlines and watch the news of terrorist attacks around the world. But, the story usually ends there. We rarely find out what becomes of the terrorist victims who are injured, but live to tell the tale? Who puts the broken ones back together and how? Today's guests have the answers. Speaking to us from Israel is Professor Zeev Rotstein, M.D., the CEO and General Director of Sheba Medical Center, and from Beverly Hills is Parham Zar, the President of Friends of Sheba Medical Center. Sheba provides leading edge treatment for many medical conditions, and it is especially renowned for breaking new ground in the treatment of terror victims and of Israeli Defense Force soldiers - from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder to phantom limbs.
Today's headlines are filled with scandalous tales of snooping - from phone hacking to computer hacking, and Wikileaks to well-paid informants. When does the public's right to know supersede your privacy? Are we on a slippery slope that leads to Big Brother? Does the current climate of competitive publishing lead to more vigorous searches for salacious material that will sell more papers? Today's guest, Paul Tweed, is a renowned UK attorney, who has represented celebrities battling media outlets that snooped a little too far. He is the author of the new book - Privacy and Libel Law: The Clash with Press Freedom.
Deranged fifteenth century battlefield warrior, Bluebeard, murdered hundreds of children, because of a mental illness, possibly precipitated by the brutality of war. Just as Bluebeard (Gilles de Rais) took demonic pleasure in the torture and killing of innocents, the psychopathic armies of ISIS and Al Qaeda take pleasure in it now. Today's guest, author of Bluebeard: Brave Warrior, Brutal Psychopath, first became interested in him when her nephew married his descendant and the family hushed all her sudden questions. In researching his life, she came upon the inescapable parallel to today's terrorists.
The world is shocked that a man of such stature as General Petraeus could be toppled by a Bad Girl. But, your host, Dr. Carole - the author of Bad Girls: Why Men Love Them & How Good Girls Can Learn Their Secrets - explains it all. Hear how Paula Broadwell fits three of the Bad Girl categories in her book: the Husband Stealer, Married Woman on the Prowl and Bad Girl Scorned. How do such women seduce and trap men, whom Dr. Carole calls Sitting Ducks? Indeed, if General Petraeus could be toppled by a Bad Girl, it doesn't bode well for other men!
Have we become too jaded about prisoners, believing that once they're convicted we should throw away the key? They all claim they're innocent, right? Is the U.S. criminal justice system infallible, or does evidence get hidden or tampered with that could have proved a defendant's innocence? Today's guest, Jeffrey Deskovic, was one of those innocents who, as a 16-year-old boy, was railroaded into a false confession and convicted of the rape and murder of his high school classmate - a crime he didn't commit. He spent 16 years in maximum security prisons in New York, until the real killer's DNA freed him. To this day, none of the police, prosecutors or medical examiners who concocted evidence to frame him, have been disciplined. Once released, Jeff earned a masters in criminal justice and launched The Jeffrey Deskovic Foundation for Justice, which exonerates the wrongly convicted, helps them reintegrate into society, and educates the public about wrongful convictions.
The statistics for how many people are staying home at New Year's, or not celebrating at all, and not even making New Year's resolutions - are alarming!

Today's guest, Barbara Biziou, a global wisdom keeper and author of The Joy of Ritual and The Joy of Family Rituals, will illustrate how you can make this special time count!
Sony has been backpedaling ever since the outcry from Hollywood celebrities, President Obama and, yes, Dr. Carole. They blamed theater chains, but many independents want to screen The Interview, not to mention the options of DVD and online. Although it wasn't a great idea to poke the bear, Kim Jong Un, it's an even worse idea to cave and not release the movie! This empowers terrorists from North Korea to the Middle East, strengthening their resolve to hack and attack us. Today's guests include Thor Halvorssen, founder of the Human Rights Foundation and film producer, and Joan Alperin, film critic who is one of the few who have seen The Interview.

Heard of Common Core? This administration hopes not - at least not until it's set in stone! Common core is a scheme to rewrite education - another example of how America's very foundation is being undermined by President Obama and his minions.

Today's guest, Chuck Morse, is a radio talk show host, who was named one of the 'Heavy 100' by Talkers Magazine, and author of several books, including American Testament - The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution - Keys to America's Future.

In honor of Veteran's Day, today's show tells heartwarming stories of how veterans and animals are rescuing each other. Returning vets have been stigmatized by headlines about vets with PTSD running amuck and hurting others or themselves.

Remember when the scariest things were ghosts and haunted houses? At a time when ebola and terrorism are scaring the pants - and other articles of clothing - off of us, it's comforting to hear nostalgic stories of goblins, witches and poltergeists. Today's guest, William Hall, is the author of the new book, The World's Most Haunted House: The True Story of the Bridgeport Poltergeist on Lindley Street. He was 10 years old in 1974, when this poltergeist in his hometown made headlines around the world. Haunted by it ever since, his research has uncovered never-before-revealed interviews and documents. Today's show is scary enough for Halloween, but not contagious.
Kelli Stapleton is the Michigan mom who finally snapped, after years of being attacked by her violent autistic daughter. Society repeatedly failed their family when it refused to provide help. Finally, nowhere left to turn, Kelli took her daughter into the woods, and allowed carbon monoxide to fill up their van, putting them both to sleep. Escorting Issy to heaven was Kelli's final act of love, not the attempted murder with which she was charged. Dr. Carole was Kelli's defense psychiatrist, and testified at her sentencing that she was legally insane at the time. Kelli could have gotten life, but was sentenced to 10-22 years. Now she is in jail instead of a psychiatric hospital where she belongs to recover from PTSD and traumatic brain injuries caused by her daughter. Today's guests, amongst those closest to Kelli, will describe their feelings about Kelli, Issy, the sentencing and the need for society to provide better care for families with children who are out of control.

Today's guest, Rebecca Jane Weinstein, author of the new book, Fat Kids: Truth and Consequences, shares her personal story and the stories of other former fat kids.
Will Ebola be coming to a hospital, home, school near you? Should You Be Worried? Is the government too complacent?

When Alton Nolen recently beheaded his female coworker in Oklahoma, the media called it workplace violence, instead of what it really was -- a lone wolf copycat terrorist attack! Why is the media trying to perpetuate our denial of the real threat of terrorism encroaching upon America? What turned Alton Nolen, a former high school football player, into Jah'Keem Yisrael, a radical Islamic convert? How dangerous have jails become as the breeding ground for turning disillusioned Americans into terrorists? These questions and more are answered by Dr. Carole and her guest, Dan Perkins, on today's show.
Today's guests are an inspiration. Amidst all the bad news we're bombarded with each day, it's uplifting to hear from people who have sacrificed to help others in danger. Rebecca Siegel and Ariella Applebaum are American college students who have spent many months in Israel, as volunteer medics for Magen David Adom, the emergency ambulance service that saves lives of people of all faiths. Their stay included service during Operation Protective Edge. As you can hear in their voices, they not only helped others, but were moved themselves, after these life changing experiences, to fill shoes bigger than they'd ever dreamed. Erik Levis, Communications Director for American Friends of Magen David Adom, describes this overseas volunteer program and the invaluable work of MDA.
A good ole fashioned Western is hard to find these days. Why is this, and why should we care? Yes, there's gun violence in Westerns, but it's nothing like scenes in today's movies and video games, filled with assault weapons, mass shootings, explosions and special effects. Cowboy movies once cemented bonds between fathers and sons, and taught lessons of honor, chivalry, and the difference between right and wrong. Today's guest, Bob Brill, author of The Prescott Affair, the first in his series of books, Lancer: Hero of the West, exemplifies the passage of a dad's love of Westerns to his son. He is an award-winning journalist, who has covered presidents and other major news stories for top media outlets, including from his current position of anchor for the L.A. CBS affiliate, KNX radio.

They said history wouldn't repeat itself and the Holocaust could never happen again - not in the enlightened 21st century. But, what's been happening in the Ukraine is very much like what happened pre-World War II, in Hitler's Germany. Jews are in the crosshairs. Leaflets have been distributed ordering Jews to register and declare their property holdings. Synagogues have been defaced. Jews are anxiously considering leaving the country.

Today's guest, Cheryl K.

Sound far-fetched?
