Episode 38 — The Cabal Question: Trump, Israel, and the Psyop Playbook w. Dr. Rectenwald
Show notes
In Episode 38 of The Backlash, Rebecca Hargraves and Dave Reilly are joined by Dr. Michael Rectenwald, author of The Cabal Question and former NYU professor, for a wide-ranging discussion on ideological subversion, libertarianism, Trump’s evolving stance on Israel, and the psychology of propaganda. Dr. Rectenwald recounts his political journey from Marxist theorist to dissident intellectual, shares insights from his latest novel, and explains how covenant communities, private property, and philosophical integrity are the antidotes to globalist control. They also discuss the failure of libertarianism, AI censorship, and the recent fallout between Trump and his Zionist backers, raising the question: Is it real, or just another psyop? Don’t miss this candid and provocative episode.
