    PUTTING TUCKER CARLSON ON THE COUCH

    What's ailing Tucker Carlson? Today's guest, Rabbi Michael Barclay, reveals the answer  on this edition of Dr. Carole's Couch. Tucker Carlson's 'reincarnation', as the host of an  internet show, after being fired from FOX News, is a puzzlement that gets stranger with each show. Particularly noteworthy is Tucker's extreme hatred of Israel and antisemitism,  which have been subjects of much confusion and consternation - with assessments ranging  from childhood trauma to bribery from Qatar and more. You will hear what's behind these theories.    Rabbi Barclay has added an additional theory to the mix, for which there seems to be some  evidence.  According to the Rabbi, Tucker may also be suffering from a brain condition called  Pseudobulbar Affect. Hear why the Rabbi believes this to be true, and what the possible  causes are.    Rabbi Barclay is the host of the new radio show and podcast, "The Rabbi's Table: Dialogue Not Debate" on CRN Digital Talk Radio.

    ENCORE: Is Soul More Than Biology? Mother and Neurologically Injured Son Challenge Science

    Is the Soul More Than Biology? How One Mother and Her Neurologically Injured Son Are Challenging Modern Science The Book of Heaven: A Story of Hope for the Outcasts, the Broken, and Those Who Lost Faith is a memoir co-written by Katie Asher and her severely neurologically injured autistic son, Houston. What began as a family's struggle with disability has become one of the most talked-about—and scientifically examined—cases at the intersection of neuroscience, consciousness, and faith.   Why this story matters  Houston's condition left him unable to speak or control his body—but with extraordinary cognitive and perceptual abilities that stunned every professional who encountered him. His case has since become the subject of major scientific inquiry, a new national documentary, and season one of the hit podcast The Telepathy Tapes—which reached #1 on Christmas Day, surpassing even The Joe Rogan Experience. This story is now drawing interest from: Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell (Johns Hopkins–trained neuroscientist), Dr. Julia Mossbridge (Northwestern University), Dr. Marjorie Woollacott (University of Oregon, Professor Emeritus), Jeff Tarrant, PhD (EEG neuroscience specialist), and other researchers who are peer-reviewing Houston's data and conducting additional studies. Their findings challenge long-held assumptions about the brain, consciousness, neurological injury, and even the nature of the soul.   The core of the book The Book of Heaven is not a scientific paper—it's a deeply human story about a boy whose neurological injury left him trapped in his own body, yet able to describe spiritual realities and scriptural truths he had never been exposed to. The book blends rigorous scientific research, firsthand testimony, neurological and physiological analysis, and the spiritual insights Houston shared despite being unable to speak. Readers in more than seven countries have written to say the book changed their lives.   Why the story is controversial—and important The documentary team behind The Telepathy Tapes chose to avoid the spiritual dimension of Houston's experiences. His mother wrote this book so the full story—the scientific and spiritual components—could finally be told without dilution.   Her claim is not merely that her son has unusual abilities, but that his case offers evidence of consciousness independent from motor function and aligns with key descriptions in Scripture. This story sits at the crossroads of neuroscience, disability, faith, the mind–body problem, family endurance, and the limits of what we believe is possible.   It's rare for a memoir to generate this level of scientific attention — and rarer still for scientists of this caliber to engage with a single case across multiple studies, podcasts, and documentaries. The audiobook releases this December, and the documentary will debut this spring.

    ENCORE: Ending Upside Down Reset, Wokeism, Globalism and Other Dangers

    Does the world feel upside down to you? Do words like Wokeism, Globalism and Great Reset make your head spin? Today's guest, Mark Gober, will help you figure it all out and set things nightside up again. He's the author of An End to the Upside Down Reset: The Leftist Vision for Society Under the "Great Reset"—and How It Can Fool Caring People into Supporting Harmful Causes. He will also explain how Trump has stopped the Great Reset in its tracks and is about to reset them - just in time. Whether you realize it or not, a vision for society—called the Great Reset—was formally unveiled by the World Economic Forum (WEF) in 2020, several months after COVID-19 emerged. The WEF is one of the most influential bodies in the world and has ties to the highest levels of global governments and industries. In fact, its Great Reset has implications for our collective future in terms of culture, politics, economics, the environment, technology, and metaphysics. So if you don't think this subject affects you and your family—think again. In Mark Gober's An End to the Upside Down Reset, he deconstructs the Great Reset's stated vision. He demonstrates that while the proposed societal changes might sound compassionate, in practice they could be harmful. Moreover, the Great Reset largely aligns with a leftist worldview that dominates modern education and media—and it becomes even more entrenched because of unconscious psychological biases. Breaking through the fog of this programming allows one to see that the Great Reset risks bringing about a dystopia. Mark is also the author of the seven books "Upside Down" series, which spans politics, economics, medicine, cosmology, and more. We will also touch upon them and put these topics right side up again.

    LIVE FROM ISRAEL: What's a Somaliland & How Will It Bring Peace to the Middle East? There's lots of talk these days about Somalis destroying Minnesota. But, what's a Somaliland? How is it different from Somalia? And why is Israel sending shockwaves throughout the world by being the first country to recognize Somaliland? Does Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have an ace up his sleeve or is he making a big mistake?  Today's guest Rabbi Pesach Wolicki has the answers. He's an expert of Israel and Middle East Diplomacy and the theological and ideological drivers behind Western and Islamist policies toward the Jewish state. He will explain why this little-known African state may now be a decisive pivot point in the struggle between Israel and Iran – and why American audiences cannot afford to ignore it.​

    ENCORE - Why Importing Gaza Refugees of Hamas-Israel War is VERY BAD Idea!

    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.

    TRUTH UNDER FIRE: The Real Story of CHARLIE KIRK

    Today's guest, Joshua Philipps, is the creator of the just-released documentary, "Truth Under Fire: The Real Story of Charlie Kirk" , an investigation into the machinery of influence in America today, and what happens when someone challenges it at scale. For more than a decade, Charlie Kirk had been at the forefront of one of the most significant political and cultural realignments in the United States. Beginning with a handful of students and a conviction that college campuses were the next major battleground for the American future, Kirk built Turning Point USA into a national force that has shifted youth engagement, reshaped conservative activism, and confronted institutions that traditionally faced little opposition. But influence does not grow without resistance. Philipps traces the organized pressure campaigns, targeted reputational attacks, and coordinated institutional responses that emerged as Kirk's reach expanded. The documentary looks beyond the public controversies to examine the deeper strategic conflict: who controls cultural messaging, how public opinion is shaped, and why certain figures become flashpoints in the narrative war for America's identity.

    Putting Israel on the Couch

    Dr. Carole is just back from volunteering in Israel, as a psychiatrist, helping Israelis with trauma from October 7 and beyond, today's show unveils what Israel is REALLY like. Her guests are  Ilana O'Malley and Tal Nir, the two women who founded Planetherapy, a volunteer organization that provides free therapy to Israelis, in Israel and throughout the world.  Dr. Carole  is honored to have been amongst Planetherapy's first delegation to Israel, helping civilians, IDF military and families of hostages. Based in Tel Aviv, the delegation traveled throughout the country to reach people in the kibbutzim attacked by Hamas terrorists in the cruelest ways; to bear witness to the Nova Festival attack site; to help the Zaka group; to help-the-helpers, therapists who have been helping Israelis; and much more. The Planetherapy delegation went all over Israel and rounded out the trip by visiting Old Jerusalem and the Western Wall to feel renewed. Our guide, Aryeh Jacobson, was much more than a 'tour guide'. He is an Israeli who embodies the spirit of Israel and helped us to see and understand everything at a deeper level. The people of Israel are the most resilient in the world. They are surrounded by countries with terrorists who want to destroy them. October 7 wasn't the first attack they have defended their country against, but it was the most barbarous that Israel and the rest of the world has ever seen. So, the effects have lingered on….

    Encore: LIVE FROM ISRAEL: TRUTH ABOUT THE WAR & ITS IMPACT ON ISRAELIS

    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.

    Encore: INSIDE ISRAEL: Where Trauma is Routine & Silence Suspicious

    We hear a lot about Israel in the news every day - some stories are true, but most are lies perpetrated by Hamas. Today's guest, Chava Kleinman, tells us the real story. Since the horrors of October 7, 2023, Israel has not known peace—not even for a moment. But while headlines focus on geopolitics, airstrikes, and ceasefires, Chava Kleinman, Vice President of the Shiloh Israel Children's Fund, sees the war through a different lens: that of children gripped by trauma, families living under the constant threat of rocket fire, and soldiers cycling in and out of battle with visible and invisible scars.  For Kleinman, this isn't theoretical. It's daily life. As someone who works hands-on with terror survivors—many of them young children—she can speak to the emotional cost that doesn't show up in military briefings. "Since October 7, it's been a different world," she says. "Not just for those on the frontlines, but for every mother, every child, every teacher trying to keep a sense of normal." Chava Kleinman, M.S.W., is a social worker with over 25 years of experience in Israel, now serving as vice-president of Shiloh Israel Children's Fund (SICF). Chava is in charge of coordinating SICF's vast array of crisis intervention initiatives. Especially since the October 7th massacre of Israeli civilians, but also during previous waves of terrorism, she has been on the front lines, offering critical expertise to support affected individuals and communities. is also an accomplished author, educator, and international presenter.

    Encore: KEEPING IT REAL: From Votes to Vaccines!

    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!

    Encore: KEEPING IT REAL: From Votes to Vaccines!

    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.

    When the Left Doesn't Win at the Ballot Box They Whine at the Judge's Bench

    The 2024 election was a miracle comeback--Donald Trump, against all odds, reclaimed the White House after facing an unprecedented barrage of legal attacks and government harassment. But as today's guest, Christina Bobb, reveals in Defiant, the battle for America's future was far from over. On today's show, she will talk about her latest book, Defiant: Inside the Mar-a-Lago Raid and the Left's Ongoing Lawfare.    Bobb's shocking, personal account takes readers behind the scenes of the infamous Mar-a-Lago raid, exposing unprecedented abuses of power: FBI agents breaking locks while offered keys, denying Trump's representatives access, and seizing privileged documents under a shroud of secrecy. She documents the relentless campaign of indictments, subpoenas, and media manipulation designed to destroy Trump and silence his supporters.   But the lawfare didn't end at the ballot box. As Trump's new administration moved to restore the rule of law, blue-state officials, federal agencies, and activist judges openly defied his orders--launching lawsuits, blocking pardons, and vowing to undermine his agenda at every turn. Bobb uncovers the coordinated efforts to weaponize the justice system, from the disbarment of constitutional lawyers to the criminalization of alternate electors.

    It's ALLAH Not Going to Be Alright! A Quiet Jihad is Overtaking the World!

    While the world is sleeping, Radical Islamist migrants are migrating all over the world. And before you say I'm "Islamophobic," I'll explain why you need to realize the imminent danger that you're in. Although American mainstream media doesn't report how they've been taking over Europe, Australia and many other countries - by refusing to learn the language and embrace the culture - they're also draining these countries dry. And they'e demanding that  these countries adopt Sharia Law.  Think it's not happening in America? Think again! It's happening in Texas, Michigan, New York state - and other places. Why are these countries - including America - not fighting back? Today's guest will explan this and more.  Today's guest, Frank J. Gaffney, is the President of the Institute for the American Future. He acted as President Reagan's Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy and served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear Forces and Arms Control Policy. Mr. Gaffney founded and led for thirty-seven years the Center for Security Policy. He is the host of "Securing America with Frank Gaffney" on the Real America's Voice network and the co-author of The Indictment: Prosecuting the Chinese Communist Party and Friends for Crimes Against America, China and the World.

    Encore: Russian Author of PUTIN'S PLAYBOOK Reveals His Ominous Secrets!

    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.

    Encore: INSIDE ISRAEL: Where Trauma is Routine & Silence Suspicious

    We hear a lot about Israel in the news every day - some stories are true, but most are lies perpetrated by Hamas. Today's guest, Chava Kleinman, tells us the real story. Since the horrors of October 7, 2023, Israel has not known peace—not even for a moment. But while headlines focus on geopolitics, airstrikes, and ceasefires, Chava Kleinman, Vice President of the Shiloh Israel Children's Fund, sees the war through a different lens: that of children gripped by trauma, families living under the constant threat of rocket fire, and soldiers cycling in and out of battle with visible and invisible scars.  For Kleinman, this isn't theoretical. It's daily life. As someone who works hands-on with terror survivors—many of them young children—she can speak to the emotional cost that doesn't show up in military briefings. "Since October 7, it's been a different world," she says. "Not just for those on the frontlines, but for every mother, every child, every teacher trying to keep a sense of normal." Chava Kleinman, M.S.W., is a social worker with over 25 years of experience in Israel, now serving as vice-president of Shiloh Israel Children's Fund (SICF). Chava is in charge of coordinating SICF's vast array of crisis intervention initiatives. Especially since the October 7th massacre of Israeli civilians, but also during previous waves of terrorism, she has been on the front lines, offering critical expertise to support affected individuals and communities. is also an accomplished author, educator, and international presenter.

    MOTIVES EXPOSED: Kohberger & Shane Tamura!

    Bryan Kohberger, the Idaho college killer, refused to reveal his motive at the recent sentencing hearing, to explain why he murdered the Idaho4: Kaylee, Maddie, Xana and Ethan. But, Dr. Carole, a forensic psychiatrist and expert witness, has been analyzing these murders since before he was arrested. She reveals the 3 first clues that told her the motive behind this tragedy - and were borne out with every additional clue.  Shane Tamura, the Manhattan madman who went on a killing spree in a Park Avenue office building, has left some clues, but Dr. Carole has put it all together and will explain it all today.

    Encore: PUTTING ICE ON ice

    ICE, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, led now by President Trump appointee Tom Homan, is doing a noteworthy job of closing the borders and deporting illegal aliens - especially those who have committed crimes in America. However, Sanctuary Cities and States are rebelling again ICE and releasing violent criminals beck onto our streets. They're trying to delay deportations, and thereby putting ICE on ice. Today's guest, Leigh Wambsganss, is the Chief Communications Officer of Patriot Mobile and the Founding Board Member and Executive Director of Patriot Mobile Action PAC. You will hear us talk about everything from the Texas (where she lives) Ball at the Inauguration 2025 to the record number of illegal aliens that crossed the borders under Biden to what President Trump is doing now to stop the flow. We also discuss the dangers of these illegal aliens - from measles to murder. In the final segment, we discuss how Critical Race Theory invaded an otherwise pleasant Texas community and what Ms. Wambsganss did  to make the school board reflect the will of parents and get CRT out of the schools to protect the kids. CRT is not the anti-racist curriculum it pretends to be. It actually causes children, who don't care about the color of their classmates' skin to believe that they should have White Privilege or Black Rage.

    Encore: Jeffrey Epstein: Whodunit and Why?

    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!

    Sex, Lies and Criminal Trials

    The two hottest trials making headlines today are P. Diddy for racketeering, prostitution and sex trafficking, and Bryan Kohberger for the murder of four Idaho college students. Today's guests will share their perspectives on these and other newsmaking crimes and trials.  First, Brook Urick, the  spokesperson for SeekingArrangement.com, will take us behind the scenes into Diddy's world of sex trafficking.

    Encore: Israel vs. Iran: Fate of the World Hangs in the Balance

    For years, Iran has shouted, "Death to Israel!" "Death to America!" and they weren't kidding. Not only has this been their rallying cry, they see it as a religious duty to honor Allah by killing 'unbelievers'.  Israel was left with no other choice than to destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities: the weapons and the scientists who were creating them because Iran wouldn't come to an agreement. Even if Iran did sign an agreement, they are not trustworthy. The Prophet Mohammed said, "War is deceit!" so no treaty can be trusted.  Today's standoff has been a long time coming, thanks especially to former President Obama, who became the BFF of Iranian and other Middle Eastern leaders, and gave billions of dollars to Iran, which subsidized Oct. 7 and other attacks on Israel through its proxies.  Today's guest, Andrea Widburg, is the Managing Editor of American Thinker and has been with that site since 2020. She is a former Democrat who was raised in San Francisco and received a BA from UC Berkeley. After receiving a JD from the University of Texas at Austin, she worked as a lawyer in the San Francisco Bay Area for 30 years and raised two children. Appearing in leftist-run courts, raising children against a culture hostile to childhood innocence, and witnessing the Democrat party turn against Israel, along with the shock therapy of 9/11, made her reexamine her political beliefs, leading her to embrace constitutional conservatism.
