The attack prompted an Iranian retaliation which began later that night. Saturday, the second day of war with Iran, became the deadliest night for Israeli civilians since October 7th, after two massive barrages of Iranian rockets killed eleven Israelis and wounded over 200. Seven people were killed in Bat Yam, where a missile struck a residential building, and four were killed in the Arab city of Tamra, east of Haifa. As the Israeli offensive on Iran proceeds, the big question is; will the United States join Israel's offensive to destroy Iran's nuclear program?In this episode, Amit Segal, Call me Back Regular and senior political analyst for Channel 12, joins us to discuss Saturday night's attack on Israel, and the possibility of U.S. military action against Iran.CREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorMARIANGELES BURGOS - Additional EditingMAYA RACKOFF - Operations DirectorGABE SILVERSTEIN - ResearchYUVAL SEMO - Music Composer

Your favorite psychologists, John Gartner and Harry Segal, follow the big terrible bill and the Donald/Elon break-up, while looking at video proof of the strong-armed tactics of ICE's masked enforcers. Also, journalist and political commentator Ahmed Baba returns for another conversation, as engaging as ever, to talk about this moment in politics and how to think about the way forward. Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts:Our siteSubscribe on iTunesSubscribe on SpotifySubscribe on Amazon MusicSubscribe on iHeartRadioThey argue that Trump's erratic leadership—driven by malignant self-interest—renders him woefully unprepared to withstand the pushback coming from both unexpected allies and traditional critics. Musk's very public denouncement, marking a sharp break from his former allegiance, highlights the deep vulnerabilities in Trump's approach. Equally unsettling is the recent video evidence capturing ICE's masked enforcers employing strong-armed tactics against immigrants. Dr. Segal scrutinizes these disturbing images, linking them to a broader, calculated strategy designed to erode democratic oversight and crush dissent. He warns that these aren't isolated actions but part of an orchestrated pattern of authoritarianism that threatens the very fabric of our institutions. Rejoining the conversation is incisive journalist and political commentator Ahmed Baba, whose sharp analysis deepens the discussion. Baba emphasizes that this turbulent moment in American politics necessitates a strategic, informed resistance—urging every citizen to remain vigilant and proactive in defending our democratic values. He points out how the Trump administration has repeatedly exploited legal loopholes, making civic engagement not just important, but essential. Throughout the episode, the dialogue weaves together psychological insight with raw political critique. Dr. Gartner zeroes in on the perils of Trump's impulsivity, noting that his personal flaws not only undermine legislative efforts but also sow discord within his own ranks. Concurrently, Dr. Segal champions the resilience of civil society—from grassroots activists to principled judges and steadfast political figures who are mounting a formidable resistance. In wrapping up, Dr. Gartner and Dr. Segal deliver a stirring call to action: remain engaged, scrutinize power relentlessly, and stand firm in defense of democratic norms. They remind us that understanding the psychology behind authoritarian tactics is our most potent tool for countering them. Only through informed dialogue and concerted action can we hope to reclaim our nation's future from the corrosive grip of toxic leadership.

Your favorite psychologists, Dr. John Gartner and Dr. Harry Segal, return after a forced hiatus (watch the opening of the show for details) to dissect the growing pushback from the courts against Trump's tariffs and his attacks on Harvard—while also diving into revelations surrounding the Biden mental health cover-up. Joining them this week is Joe Caiazzo, a seasoned political strategist and partner at 1788 Media, who brings his expert perspective to the conversation. Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: Our site Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe on Spotify Subscribe on Amazon Music Subscribe on iHeartRadio In their latest session, Dr. Gartner and Dr. Segal examine the chaotic nature of Trump's policies, emphasizing how his psychological profile—marked by malignant narcissism and cognitive decline—directly fuels his erratic governance. The duo makes a compelling case that Trump's impulse-driven decision-making and abuse of executive power are fundamental to understanding his failed attempts to impose extreme tariffs and retaliate against institutions like Harvard. The judiciary has emerged as a crucial check against Trump's overreach, as courts increasingly block his illegal actions. Dr. Segal highlights key legal victories, such as the halt of Trump's baseless tariffs and the judicial rebuke of his administration's efforts to restrict Harvard's enrollment of international students. These rulings are pivotal in safeguarding constitutional principles and pushing back against executive authoritarianism. Meanwhile, the podcast pivots toward a hard-hitting moment of self-examination, as Dr. Gartner reflects on the newly uncovered truths about President Biden's cognitive struggles. Acknowledging their initial misjudgments, the hosts emphasize the necessity of transparency in leadership and discuss how the Biden administration's mismanagement of his decline has eroded public trust and weakened democratic integrity. Dr. Gartner stresses that owning up to analytical mistakes is essential for providing a more accurate political lens moving forward. Political strategist Joe Caiazzo deepens the discussion with his insider take on the need for generational change within the Democratic Party. He underscores the importance of meeting voters where they are, broadening the party's coalition, and prioritizing outreach that resonates with working-class Americans. Caiazzo argues that real engagement—not distant rhetoric—is key to revitalizing Democratic momentum. As the conversation intensifies, the psychologists connect political strategy with psychological insight, illustrating how cognitive tendencies shape leadership behavior. Dr. Segal and Dr. Gartner reveal how psychology not only explains political motivations but also serves as a powerful tool for anticipating and countering authoritarian tactics. The episode concludes with a powerful call to action: resist authoritarianism, stay vigilant, and engage actively in preserving democratic values. Dr. Gartner and Dr. Segal emphasize that knowledge, awareness, and psychological insight remain vital weapons against political chaos.

Psychologists John Gartner and Harry Segal review Trump's retreat on China tariffs, the legal obstacles to deportation, and the first American and (hopefully) Anti-Maga Pope. They are also joined by Dr. Rosalind Watts, the renown clinical psychologist, who describes the practice and profound impact of psychedelic psychotherapy, especially in these difficult times. Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: Our site Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe on Spotify Subscribe on Amazon Music Subscribe on iHeartRadio Dr. Gartner and Dr. Segal once again break down Trump's cognitive decline and malignant narcissism, a psychological profile marked by extreme self-interest and zero empathy. Trump's erratic tariff strategy—first hitting China with a reckless 145% tax, then scaling back to 30%—is just another example of his weakness under pressure. While the rollback offers some relief, his trade war still threatens economic stability, leaving millions uncertain about the future. Then there's his legal manipulation—Trump's frantic attempts to bypass the courts and stack them with loyalist judges who will rubber-stamp his agenda. But here's the twist: some Trump-appointed judges are actually pushing back, reinforcing due process and putting up resistance where it's needed most. Even when Trump tries to rig the system, cracks are forming—and that's reason for hope. Dr. Segal highlights what he calls a “hopeful turning point”—the election of Pope Leo, the first American Pope. Pope Leo's commitment to social justice and outspoken criticism of Trump's policies has already made him a powerful moral counterweight to MAGA extremism. His pushback against Trump's immigration crackdowns is one of the most forceful challenges to the Trump agenda we've seen on a global scale. Dr. Rosalind Watts joins the discussion with a groundbreaking perspective on psychedelic therapy. She breaks down how substances like psilocybin can unlock deeper personal insight, help navigate emotional instability, and foster real connections in an increasingly divided world. But psychedelics aren't magic pills—Dr. Watts emphasizes that their power comes from integration, long-term mental resilience, and a renewed understanding of self and community. Dr. Gartner and Dr. Segal remind us why psychological insight is a weapon in political warfare. They call on listeners to stay vigilant, push back against authoritarian chaos, and support leaders who fight for justice. This is the fight of our time.

Note: The first part of this episode has some clicks because of a connection issue. We tried to clean the sound up as best as we could. Bare with it because we really think it's worth listening to! This one's a long one, but one of our most amazing conversations. Drew and I spoke with Julie Cho and Erin Segal about their collaborative publishing project Thick Press. The two friends who met when they were 15 have been working together as graphic designer and social worker, asking hard questions about the value of work, juggling life and professions and sticking with relationships. We recorded this episode on November 8, 2024, two days after the US Presidential election. Despite the disappointment of the time, Julie and Erin showed up for our conversation in a way that can only be described as generous and present. Drew and I always joke that the podcast is “our therapy” and this episode couldn't be more validating of our motivations. We got to share about how we've struggled to keep Graphic Support Group going, the evolution of our friendship and admit to each other that we're still here and making the project happen. Julie and Erin took such care to hear us and opened up their stories for us to learn and reflect together. We are so appreciative of their time and words.Thick Press officially published “An Encyclopedia of Radical Healing” shortly after we recorded. They share the details about the massive project in the episode, so please check out their Instagram for more information and support their work with an order. They've also been super busy since we spoke!

Psychologists John Gartner and Harry Segal return to the topic of Trump's cognitive decline and malignant narcissism by interpreting his “decision” on Alcatraz as well as his oval office antics. They are joined by Rep. Chrissie Houlahan from Pennsylvania, who had taken on Tulsi Gabbard in the House investigation of Signalgate. Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: Our site Subscribe on iTunes Subscribe on Spotify Subscribe on Amazon Music Subscribe on iHeartRadio Dr. Gartner opens by reflecting on their journey and stresses that Trump's extreme narcissism and growing cognitive decline are no secret. The doctors detail how these traits have led to unhinged decisions—from confusing basic facts to mixing Hollywood fiction with real policy. They even bring up Trump's bizarre suggestion to reopen Alcatraz, an idea that clearly shows his disconnect from reality. The conversation then turns to the effect of Trump's behavior on governance. According to the experts, his impulsive and self-serving decisions have not only hurt the economy but also weakened the nation's standing on the world stage. Dr. Segal explains that Trump's poor handling of economic policies, including misguided tariff strategies, risks driving the country toward an economic crisis—a situation not unlike past downturns in history. On the political front, the hosts warn that Trump's style of leadership is dangerous. His tendency to use executive power for personal gain could lead to a government that more resembles an autocratic regime than a true democracy. They point out that when leaders mix personal interests with national policy, our institutions and hard-won democratic values come under severe threat. Yet there is hope. The episode highlights how strong American institutions—like Harvard University—continue to stand up against illegal executive overreach. These examples remind us that while Trump's actions push us toward instability, the core values of our democracy still hold strong when we remain informed and active. In closing, Dr. Gartner and Dr. Segal call on everyone to pay attention, speak up, and demand accountability. They stress that understanding the psychological roots of this crisis is key to defending our nation's future. Listeners are encouraged to join the conversation by subscribing, sharing their ideas, and tuning in to upcoming episodes.

In this episode, we speak with Lior Segal, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Horizon Capital Horizon Capital is an Israeli venture capital fund backing founders at the Pre-Seed and Seed stages. It's sector-agnostic by design, built to support early-stage startups wherever opportunity strikes. Lior's path to venture wasn't linear. Before launching the fund, he led Data Matching Solutions as CEO until its acquisition by SafeCharge. He stayed on as VP of Gaming Innovation and later helped shape global payment strategies at Nasdaq-listed TSG. His operator-first lens gives him a practical, grounded perspective that shapes how he evaluates and supports startups. Together with his co-founder - Yani Jacobi, who also happens to be his childhood friend - he built Horizon Capital from the ground up, without a traditional investing background. And while their portfolio includes headline names like Verbit, OwnBackup, and Blue Ribbon, this conversation doesn't focus on the wins. It focuses on the how. “We are trying to master uncertainty.” In this conversation, we dive into what it really takes to run a VC fund like a startup, the importance of founder dynamics, and the discipline required to stay focused in a market defined by noise. We explore: Self-fulfillment and leaving law behind to build in tech. Lior began his career as a lawyer but quickly realized it wasn't the right path. He shifted into the tech and fintech world, trading legal frameworks for hands-on company building. What it means to build a venture fund from scratch. Lior and his partner launched Horizon without prior investing experience - treating it as a startup in its own right, complete with its own pitch process, learning curve, and pressure to prove value fast. How friendship can work in business - if boundaries are clear. They set ground rules from day one: friendship comes first, business second. Professional disagreements are dealt with directly, and personal trust stays intact. The dynamic between co-founders - and what Horizon pays close attention to From subtle looks in meetings to how roles are divided, Horizon places a strong emphasis on how startup founders interact, not just the business model. Why focus matters more than vision at the early stage. Lior urges founders to avoid distractions, skip the five-year plans, and build a short, focused path to the next funding round. “it's very nice to think you know, 5 or 10 years ahead, but in this world, when everything can blow up one morning, you can't really do it. You need to have a great vision, but you need to be very focused." The challenge of monetizing AI products in a crowded market. AI may be everywhere, but few founders know how to turn it into revenue. Lior breaks down the importance of testing pricing early and identifying real user value. The current noise in the AI space - and how to think through it. With so many startups riding the AI wave, it's harder than ever to stand out. Horizon looks for teams that go beyond tech wrappers and hype, and build something defensible. How staying calm is a strategic advantage. In a market that shifts by the day, Lior shares how he makes decisions without panicking - staying anchored in strategy, even when conditions are unpredictable. If you're looking for practical insights on founder dynamics, business focus, and building in uncertain times - this one's for you. Tune in, take notes, and share it with someone who's building something bold.
James Cameron-Wilson boosts #2 Sinners again but also enjoyed #4 The Accountant 2, again starring Ben Affleck 8 years on. With a plot like a chess game it is smart, entertaining and often very funny. #22 is The Friend with Naomi Watts & Bill Murray. A handsomely acted look at death, it feels like the adaptation it is and lacks drama. Much better is #28 Julie Keeps Quiet.

If you've ever been curious about twins, nature vs. nurture, or how our closest relationships shape who we are, you'll want to dive straight into our latest conversation with Dr. Nancy Segal. From nature versus nurture debates to the unique bonds that connect twins, Dr. Segal shares her groundbreaking research and personal stories that reveal just how much twins can teach us about human behavior, relationships, and even ourselves. You'll hear incredible insights into the genetics of twinning, the emotional intensity of twin loss, and the surprising science behind topics like IVF, surrogacy, and even doppelgängers. Get ready for heartwarming stories, real-life drama including a remarkable court case about citizenship and twin brothers born through surrogacy to gay fathers—and plenty of wisdom from both Dr. Segal and Grandpa Wayne. Whether you're a parent of twins, know a set of twins, or have ever wondered what life would be like with a carbon copy of yourself, this episode is packed with unforgettable tales, expert advice, and thought-provoking discussions you won't want to miss. Stay tuned—these are stories you truly have to hear to believe! Nancy L. Segal is a distinguished researcher whose work explores the unique bonds between twins. In her studies, she discovered that twins whether identical or fraternal tend to grieve the loss of their twin sibling even more deeply than the loss of a parent. This remarkable finding highlights the profound kinship twins share. Segal's curiosity extends to the complex web of genetics and relationships, noting that identical twins share all their genes, which might, in theory, make their grief even more intense compared to losing a child, with whom they share only half their genes. While she has yet to study how the loss of a child compares to the loss of a twin, Segal continues to ask thought-provoking questions about family, genetics, and the human experience of loss. Dr. Nancy Segal is a distinguished professor of psychology, developmental psychologist, director of the Twin Studies Center, and published author. Dr. Nancy Segal is an American evolutionary psychologist and behavioral geneticist, specializing in the study of twins. She is the Professor of Developmental Psychology and Director of the Twin Studies Center, at California State University, Fullerton. Dr. Segal has studdied twin relationships for her entire career and continues to the is day, whe has developed facsinating takes on the topic of twin relationships. Dr. nancy Segal was a recipient of the 2005 James Shields Award for Lifetime Contributions to Twin Research from the Behavior Genetics Association and International Society for Twin Studies. Dr. Nancy Segal has published nine books on twins, with the latest book detailing a high-profile lawsuit against the US State Department that almost reached the US Supreme Court, appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show and countless others, and is a twin herself. Dr. Nancy Segal is a board certified expert in her field. Studying the unique twinship helps shape our understanding of genetics, our own relationships with ourselves and others, and the nature of genetic predisposition. Join us as we dive into the inner thoughts of Dr. Nancy Segal and the attributes she has given on this subject.

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.

And, against the backdrop of a report in the New York Times that President Trump had headed off Israeli plans for a military operation against Iran's nuclear program, Netanyahu emphasized: "We are committed to preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons." With both Tehran and Gaza in mind, we turn to two of Israel's leading journalists: Nadav Eyal, senior analyst at Yediot Achronot, and Amit Segal, senior political analyst at Channel 12 - to understand Israel's standing on these two critical fronts.

They tackle the Trump administration's blatant disregard for legal norms, exploring how Trump's persona appeals to autocratic world leaders like the President of El Salvador, and drawing eerie parallels to oppressive regimes of the past. As leading psychologists, Dr. Gartner and Dr. Segal take a deep dive into Trump's severe narcissistic personality disorder, which they say is the driving force behind his chaotic governance. They examine how his thrill in flouting the law and disregarding human rights is a symptom of his narcissism—which poses serious risks to the nation's well-being.

The hosts praise this act of defiance as a beacon of hope, urging other institutions to follow suit and push back against Trump's threats. Dr. Gartner and Dr. Segal issue an urgent call to action: stay vigilant, stay engaged, and fight for democracy no matter how you're able.

Dr. Gartner and Dr. Segal survey the damage caused by Trump's tariffs, comparing it to economic downturns like the Great Depression.

They uncover how Trump's actions mirror those of a self-destructive leader—manipulative, power-hungry, and shockingly paranoid. Dr. Segal passionately critiques Trump's administration, describing the destructive impact it's having on both domestic and international fronts—illustrating how Trump's economic policies are self-defeating, and catalyzing unprecedented levels of instability.

In this all new, 46th episode of Shrinking Trump, Dr. John Gartner and Dr. Harry Segel take listeners on a tour of the unsettling psychological and political landscape of Donald Trump's second term. Our guest is Georgia-based political strategist and pundit Fred Hicks, who believes Democrats are due for a political comeback.

His erratic behavior is not just chaotic—but catastrophic. We'll start by analyzing Trump's self-proclaimed “Freedom Day,” a grandiose spectacle designed to mask the destructive reality of his trade war and horrific immigration policies. Trump hails it as the most significant day in American history, which our hosts expose as a clear symptom of his severe narcissistic personality disorder. Dr. Gartner and Dr. Segal recognize the grim reality of Trump's draconian and lawless immigration policies, drawing chilling historical parallels to oppressive states where citizens disappear without a trace. The episode also points out some of highlights from the resistance, such as Princeton's courageous stand against federal bullying. The hosts commend the university's president for his unwavering defense of academic freedom, summoning a rallying cry for other institutions to do the same. Our guest Fred Hicks sees this and other signs as brilliant glimmers of hope, like recent special elections results in Florida and Wisconsin that hint at a democratic resurgence. Hicks suggests that an economic downturn could spur massive public backlash and even reverse the tide in favor of democratic ideals. Dr. Segel and Dr. Gartner explore the data behind this optimism and point to signs that change may be right on the horizon. And we'll wrap things up with a call for our listeners to remain vigilant and active in the fight against Trump. May this episode serve as a rallying cry for everyone committed to preserving our democracy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
On this episode we speak with Emily Segal, the founder of the brand strategy agency Nemesis, publishing house Deluge, and the author of the novel Mercury Retrograde. Emily came to fame in the 2010s as the co-founder of the collective K-Hole, which coined the term "normcore." She went on to work with everyone from Prada to Supreme, and learned a few things along the way, some of which we discuss in this episode. We mostly concentrate on two pieces of her writing, the Umami Theory of Value and B for Balenciaga, a brand case study. We discuss why the current culture feels like a postmodernist, meaningless, made-for-Instagram slop, or as Emily writes, "Umami is what you got when you did not get anything," why Balenciaga is a cultural apex predator, a vortex that sucks in cultural artifacts and spits them out as memes, why Demna's irony is hollow, whether he will succeed at Gucci, and much more besides.

And we'll examine Trump's reliance on mafia-like tactics, with extortion being his go-to, to manipulate everyone around him and project his power at any cost. As psychologists with deep expertise in personality disorders, our hosts warn of the dire consequences of Trump's severe narcissistic and psychopathic tendencies—now more apparent than ever. Throughout the session, the Doctors shed light on Trump's impulsivity and cognitive issues that make him particularly susceptible to influences from nefarious figures such as Vladimir Putin. And we'll meticulously outline how Trump's unpredictability undermines international alliances and destabilizes the global order. As always, our hosts wrap things up by urging listeners to resist complacency and remain vigilant during this rising tide of authoritarianism. Both Gartner and Segal ask us to stand together in a unified front against Trump. It's a call to arms, reminding everyone to stay informed and engaged in our fight for democracy.

In this episode, we welcome Dr. Norman Farb and Dr. Zindel Segal, two leading researchers in mindfulness and mental health, to explore the science behind mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and the emerging concept of sense foraging. They discuss how the brain actively seeks and processes sensory experiences, shaping our perception of reality and emotional well-being. By understanding sense foraging, we gain insight into how attention and curiosity influence mental health, resilience, and the ability to navigate stress. Dr. Farb and Dr. Segal dive into the neurological and psychological mechanisms that underpin mindfulness, shedding light on how meditation can rewire the brain and enhance emotional regulation. They also discuss how cultivating awareness of our sensory environment can create new pathways for healing and self-discovery. It's a fascinating episode, hope you enjoy.
In 2010, we first fell under the spell of an extraordinary duo: Ballaké Sissoko, master of the West African harp or kora, and Vincent Segal, the French cellist. After a couple of albums together they added another duo, accordion virtuoso Vincent Peirani and sax player Emile Parisien, and that quartet has released an album called Les Egarés – those who stray – an apt name for a band that refuses to color within the lines. There is a unity and fluidity in the way the players listen without competing, return musical answers to questioning phrases, and maintain fluidity and a sense of play. The quartet, “a poetic asylum for the two duos” (Bandcamp) – where chamber music, French chanson, West African folk, and jazz all mix freely - is performing here in the U.S. on tour for the fist time, and they play in-studio.
