  • The Problem with Trump’s Brain
    Jan 21 2026

    The mental health of the American president is critical to the future of the country–and it’s clear to even a casual observer of Donald Trump that his patterns of speech, inability to state the truth on just about any subject, and the apparent joy he gets out of watching other people suffer–indicate that something strange is going on in the way he perceives the world.Psychiatrists are often reluctant to speculate diagnosing someone in the absence of a face-to-face clinical exam. And yet, it appears that Trump has taken several such exams–including brain scans and mental acuity tests–that he brags about, but never releases reports on. Which is why I have brought Frank George, Ph.D. onto the show today. George holds a PhD in Psychology and Neuroscience from the University of Colorado Boulder, and was formerly the Chief of Behavioral and Biochemical Genetics at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He’s an expert on narcissistic personality disorder and writes a popular substack that focuses on Trump’s Mental state called “The Gaslight Report” which I highly recommend you take a look at.Get Early Access on Substackhttps://sgcarney.substack.com/Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3PyxGKt94kLzVqkkjEgRFw/join

  • Unveiling the AI Hype Cycle's Inevitable Collapse
    Jan 13 2026

    The AI boom is a bubble and more important: when it’s most likely to finally pop.Venture capitalists and governments have invested almost a Trillion dollars in AI tech and infrastructure which has translated to AI companies being responsible for 92% of the stock market growth in 2025. Both the biggest AI boosters AND its most ardent detractors agree that the bull run will end in radical changes to the economy, politics and maybe even human civilization. alt title: Is the AI Boom the Biggest Ponzi Scheme in History?Get Early Access on Substackhttps://sgcarney.substack.com/

  • The Strange Story of a Buddhist Penis Cult
    Jan 6 2026

    The first thing that you will notice when entering into the once-forbidden kingdom of Bhutan are its stunning landscapes. The second thing that will probably catch your eye are the tremendous number of erect phalluses that people paint on their walls. In today’s report, I want to explain why the man responsible for the striking designs might just be the original spiritual grifter. Drukpa Kunley was a former monk who, in the 1400’s, promised more than 1000 women than he would give them the gift of enlightenment just so long as they slept with him.
