  • This is a vitally important podcast, and sincerely hope that it reaches an audience beyond those of us who are in agreement about drumpf's mental unfitness. I have greatly appreciated Dr. Bandy Lee's insights on the extreme imminent danger of the drumpf regime to the world.

  • Anthony Davis and MTN are The Real Deal

    I recommend this podcast to anyone who is interested in independent news coverage that is more than just reading someone else’s reporting. Anthony Davis has a unique perspective as a naturalized citizen from the UK. He can look at current events in a different way and present them in an easily digestible manner. This podcast sometimes brings short episodes with the latest commentary, and sometimes longer episodes with wonderful interviews providing a look at events and organizations you may not ... more

    emily galvin completely blew the point she was trying to make by not making a clear statement. galvin was trying to state that trump going on and on about the 2020 election being rigged is the fact that if there was (even though we know it was not) the “rigging” happened on trump’s watch because trump was pres during that time! That is what she meant and that unfortunately was not hammered back at trump by the mainstream press or dems!! argh

  • Ms Clarke interview

    Joe Biden, IMO, was a wonderful President. He presided over a wildly successful 4 year term. Could he have done more? Yes, I think we can all agree he should have. But he pulled us out of the Covid pandemic and a financial disaster Trump left him.

    But Joe’s political style has shown us all we don’t live in those times anymore.

    It’s time for the next generation of leaders. People who aren’t beholden to the current paid-off political structure.

    I think you owe it to your listeners to give ex... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Psychiatrist Dr Bandy Lee gives her final assessment of the ‘patient’ Trump ahead of the midterms.
Q: Do you think that there will ever come a time when people recognize that it effectively cancels out everything that they argue for, when these types of things happen?
Lee distinguishes democracy, where laws apply equally, from dictatorship, where outcomes depend on identity and power. She says Trump is protecting a psychological ally rather than a democratically elected leader.
Psychiatrist Dr Bandy Lee gives her final assessment of the ‘patient’ Trump ahead of the midterms.
Q: Do you think that there is any remorse on behalf of Donald Trump's enablers because things have gone so far?
Lee says some MAGA supporters are defecting and recognizing what they supported, and that this is a critical time to reach out to them. She describes some supporters as psychologically trapped in a battered-person dynamic.
Top Psychiatrist Explains Why Trump Needs Immediate Hospitalization.
Q: Is Donald Trump psychopathic? Is it that serious?
Lee says her team assessed Trump using a psychopathy checklist and reported a score of 36 out of 40, which she characterizes as severe psychopathy and an alarming level of dangerousness. She says the assessment relied on objective and collateral information rather than a personal interview.
Top Psychiatrist Explains Why Trump Needs Immediate Hospitalization.
Q: What would be the process to actually hospitalize the commander in chief?
Lee says a family member, co-worker, or potential victim could petition a court, which could compel a psychiatric evaluation or arrange for the person to be taken directly to a hospital for evaluation.
Why Trump has Sided with Russia, assessed by Psychiatrist Dr Bandy Lee.
Q: Can you explain why and what this means? What was his thinking?
Dr. Lee explains that Trump and Putin share a psychological dynamic where politics is driven by a regressed, primitive psychology. The alliance is more about personality pathology than ideology, with a tendency toward domination and a destabilizing global impact. This framing emphasizes that the issue is a psychiatric emergency, not a standard political disagreement, and that understanding this can guide a response that protects democratic institutions.
