Psychologists John Gartner and Harry Segal consider Trump's psychopathology and how it makes his self-destructive course inevitable. They are joined again by Ahmed Baba, journalist and communications expert, on why we should have hope in these dire times. Be sure to subscribe to our show on your favorite podcast app: Our site Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe on Spotify Subscribe on Amazon Music Subscribe on iHeartRadio Dr. Gartner and Dr. Segal dive into the surreal and turbulent landscape of the Trump presidency. Packed with sharp insights and pointed critiques, this episode examines how Trump's erratic behavior and psychological issues continue to disrupt and reshape the nation. We'll unpack a whirlwind year marked by aggressive antics and shocking policy moves, all underscored by Trump's narcissistic personality disorder. Staying true to their commitment to analyze the president through a psychological lens, the hosts examine the cognitive framework behind Trump's compulsive lying, lack of empathy, and relentless pursuit of power. A key focus of the episode is Trump's administration's authoritarian tendencies, contrasted with its frequent ineptitude—what the hosts humorously call “the gang that couldn't coup straight.” They explore the fallout from Trump's chaotic decision-making, from a disorganized Pentagon under Pete Hegseth to reckless economic policies that have left America on shaky financial ground. Dr. Segal and Dr. Gartner emphasize the urgent need for psychological insight into Trump's behavior, a perspective often overlooked by mainstream media. They draw historical parallels, highlighting the dangers of such a personality in charge of a superpower's political and economic machinery. But it's not all doom and gloom. The episode also celebrates the resilience of America's democratic institutions. Harvard University, for example, stands out as a beacon of defiance against federal overreach, demonstrating the power of institutional strength in resisting unlawful executive orders. The hosts encourage listeners to see this as proof that America's foundational principles remain intact, even in the face of authoritarian threats. The episode concludes on a surreal yet thought-provoking note, recounting a signal chat that humorously (and chillingly) reveals plans to target Santa Claus himself. This metaphor underscores the extremes of power misuse while serving as a stark reminder of the administration's willingness to cross previously unimaginable lines. Listeners are urged to stay vigilant and proactive, recognizing that their collective voice is essential in steering the nation toward a more stable and authentic democracy. As the episode wraps up, the hosts issue a powerful call to action: stay informed, stand firm, and fight for justice in these challenging times.

John talks about 3 issues: 1 The House passed a budget resolution from the Senate, clearing the way for the next phase of Donald Trump's agenda in “one big beautiful bill” - the resolution also included the SAVE Act, which will require anyone registering to vote to provide a passport or birth certificate for proof of citizenship. Half of Americans do not have a passport, and tens of millions of Americans do not have access to a birth certificate, making this a disenfranchising poll tax for large swaths of the country; 2 stock markets woke up hungover from record gains yesterday to realize Trump's tariff strategy was still in place; especially for Chinese goods, and resumed a downward slide toward recession; and 3 the Supreme Court voted 9 to 0 to direct the Trump Administration to stop deporting migrants without due process and to facilitate the return to the U.S. Kilmar Abrego Garcia who the government has acknowledged was deported in error to El Salvador. Then, John speaks with Ahmed Baba - the founder of the bestselling Substack newsletter AhmedBaba.News and a columnist at The Independent. He documented every day of Trump's first term and was among the first to cover Project 2025. Finally, John chats with listeners about how hard it will be to vote with the SAVE Act and Bob Dylan's latest tours.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There is a clear and planned takeover of the American government by people who no longer want to work under a functioning democracy but some form of authoritarian, kleptocratic, theocracy and the Republican Party are on board for all of it. If you don't know about Project 2025 go back and listen to the top of the year show, but this episode is all about the other half of the plan - something called Agenda 47, which is really Donald Trump's personal plan. Now that he is the official Republican nominee for President of the United States we need to fully understand exactly what he plans to do. Trump has a dystopian nightmare planned for us and the sooner we understand the gravity of the situation the better prepared we'll be to truly counter it.  As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2024, the year we either destroy or save America. This is it. Make it or break it. To give us a sense of the stakes, I'm joined by journalist Ahmed Baba who recently did an amazing article for the Independent about the the “conservative promise” of Project 2025. Project 2025 is a roadmap to fundamentally reshape the federal government into the image of the far right once a Republican president takes office. We keep talking about the horse race between two people when we should be talking about the choice between two Americas. The consequences for the rule of law, democracy, and justice are all on the line. So as we sit at the top 2024 and I want you to know what will happen if we elect anyone who will implement Project 2025. To be clear, so far that's every single Republican candidate.

Ahmed Baba is not known to the general public. In reality, only a small number of people (mostly researchers) know of its existence. Most of them are researchers interested in the scholarly works of the so-called medieval African era that we were talking about earlier, in particular Timbuktu. But in general, this ignorance of Baba is the reflection of a greater ignorance of African intellectual history: I mean about African history as a whole. Regardless of the time, this story remains largely unknown, hardly ever being taught.

We are discussing today with Dr Luc NGOWET, a researcher, a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Paris Sorbonne. He was Program Director at the International College of Philosophy where he led, from 2013 to 2019, seminars on what he names "The theoretical foundations of African political modernity". He is a published author and is currently preparing a book on African political thought as well as an intellectual biography on the great black American philosopher, historian, sociologist, and activist WEB Du Bois, an incredible character that Luc will of course discuss with me in this podcast very soon.

Some say Africa never had philosophers.  They say and preach it loud but they haven't listened yet to Dr. Luc Ngowet, an expert of the matter who speaks in this series of 3 episodes about Ahmed Baba Soudani, a great philosopher from Timbuktu, Mali in medieval African times. 

"Ce qui vaut pour Baba, vaut pour tous les grands penseurs de l’histoire intellectuelle africaine, voire africaine américaine. L’histoire intellectuelle africaine ou de la diaspora noire pour être plus globale regorge en effet de grands noms qui furent de contemporains de grands penseurs occidentaux mais qui restent largement méconnus en Afrique et en souvent en Europe" nous dit Dr Ngowet dans cette troisième et dernière partie de notre conversation. Bonne écoute !

Luc Ngowet est Docteur en philosophie de l’Université Paris Diderot-Paris Sorbonne Cité. Il a été Directeur de programme au Collège international de philosophie dans le cadre duquel il a animé, de 2013 à 2019, des séminaires sur ce qu’il nomme « Les fondements théoriques de la modernité politique africaine ». Auteur de Petites misères et grands silences. Culture et élites au Gabon (Publié chez Raponda Walker, Libreville, 2001), il prépare actuellement un ouvrage sur la pensée politique africaine ainsi qu’une biographie intellectuelle sur le grand philosophe, historien, sociologue et activiste noir américain W.E. B. Du Bois.

L' Afrique a t-elle connu des grands intellectuels? des philosophes et des penseurs érudits? Il y a ceux qui disent que non et qui le prêchent haut et plus fort que ceux comme  Dr Luc Ngowet, spécialiste du sujet qui nous démontre le contraire pour notre plus grand bonheur. voici le grand Ahmed Baba.

Ahmed Baba never fails to put the news in context of the larger picture, and today was no exception. We unpack the Roger Stone indictment, the latest in the government shutdown saga, and then go through a rapid fire overview of the #TrumpRussia collusion/conspiracy. Strange times.

In light of another crazy week in Trump’s America, and today’s news that Paul Manafort is cooperating with Special Counsel Mueller’s probe, I had to get my buddy Ahmed Baba from Rantt back on the pod to help unpack these developments and put them in context for us. Ahmed also writes a wildly entertaining/informative/terrifying column called Unpresidented, which you should definitely check out if you haven’t had the chance to.

The Trump presidency has brought with it whirlwind news cycles. We break it all down and connect the dots. In this week's episode, Rantt Founders Adam A and Ahmed Baba discuss the fact Donald Trump has been implicated in criminal campaign finance violations by his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen. We also discuss how Trump's other associates appear to be turning on him and cooperating with federal investigators and what could happen next.

Pour ses dix ans, la « Rentrée Littéraire du Mali » a invité l’histoire pour échanger et débattre avec les autres professions littéraires. Quand, où et comment l’Afrique est-elle racontée ? Premier constat, l’Afrique s’est toujours racontée à elle-même, y compris dans les situations les plus tragiques : à preuve, l’extraordinaire foisonnement des prises de parole africaines au cœur de l’esclavage aux Amériques. La littérature orale et écrite a suivi, jusqu’à ce jour. Les autres aussi ont raconté l’Afrique, à leur manière. Dans le sillage d’Ahmed Baba, le savant de Tombouctou, les historiens ont suivi jusqu’à donner à l’Afrique et au monde la monumentale Histoire Générale de l’Afrique.Avec Augustin Hol, professeur à l’Université de Xiamen (Chine).

Journalism in the Trump era is under attack. Full-stop. Never before has there been a President that is so loose with the truth, and so viscous in his attacks on the First Amendment. In this troubling landscape, a new outlet has emerged. Rantt Media, independent and free from pre-2016 baggage, has grown to become a trusted voice with insightful content in the Trump Era. With over 50,000 followers on Twitter, they frequently issue rapid-response clap-backs in addition to their well-researched columns like "Unpresidented", and their piece where they surveyed over 1,500 Hillary Clinton supporters. Dylan and Nathan had the opportunity to speak with Ahmed Baba, Co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Rantt Media, about the latest in the Trump Russia scandal, his work at Rantt, the troubling implications of the latest aggressions by ICE, and the GOP's refusal to act as a co-equal branch in Congress.

This week I spoke with Ahmed Baba, Co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief at Rantt Media. Rantt is doing fantastic work delivering truth-based political news in a time where truth is more important than ever. We talked about what it's like running a media startup, how the election has changed everything, and cataloguing the Trump presidency in his weekly column, "Unpresidented."  We'll be having Ahmed back intermittently to do some deep dives into different aspects of the Trump Administration, and we're lucky to have him.
