Behavioral scientist and best-selling author Dr. Gad Saad joins Joe Pags for a deep, eye-opening conversation about how propaganda, ideology, and manipulation have taken over modern society.

They explore:

  • How advertising and media subtly control what we think and believe

  • Why false ideas spread like parasites in the human mind

  • How NYC elected Zohran Mamdani — and what that reveals about today’s voter psychology

  • The rise of radical thought and how it threatens Western values

  • Whether reason and free speech can still survive in an age of emotional tribalism

Dr. Saad breaks down the psychology behind influence, identity, and power — and Joe challenges him on how Americans can reclaim independent thought.

🔥 A must-listen for anyone who refuses to be programmed by the culture.
