In this 26th episode, our focus is squarely on the mounting new evidence of Trump's rapid deterioration. Dr. Gartner and Dr. Siegel analyze Trump's recent disjointed speech patterns, off-topic rants, and struggle to maintain coherent narratives. 


They’ll contrast Donald’s current performances with earlier public appearances, which were far more focused, well-spoken, and calculated. And you’ll discover how Trump's obsessive and erratic behaviors manifest in his public speeches, like with monologues about Arnold Palmer's anatomy.


Our good friend George Conway returns to the show to share the latest from his Anti Psychopath PAC's efforts to expose Trump's dangerous tendencies. His movement is dedicated to broadcasting Trump's malignant narcissism and cognitive deteriorations across pivotal swing states. This week, the PAC launched a powerful full-page letter in the New York Times, bearing signatures from over 230 mental health professionals, explicitly warning the public of Trump's dangers. 


Our hosts dissect the behavioral contrast between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Trump's chaotic speech patterns, and unhinged public appearances are starkly juxtaposed with Harris’s consistent clarity, and ethical integrity. As Trump continues to unravel, Harris’s leadership offers a beacon of hope and stability.


We’ll explore the long-term socio-political impacts of Trump's rhetoric, which continues to resonate with his base, despite his apparent cognitive decline. Our hosts also discuss the potential paths for the GOP should Kamala Harris win, and emphasize the long-term effects Trump is sure to have on the Republican party. 


Be sure to join us next week, for our final episode before The Election.
