Summary

When Pamela Garfield-Jaeger learned a therapist was offering a class characterizing supporters of President Donald Trump as members of a cult, she was compelled to learn more. Using a fake name, Garfield-Jaeger register for the online course and in August, she spent three hours “learning” how a therapists can deal with their Trump supporting clients. The course, titled “The Impact of Donald Trump on America- A Cultic Studies Perspective,” was led by clinical trauma specialist Jamie Marich, Ph.D. Additionally, Dr. Janja Lalich, a sociologist and cult expert, participated in the instruction. The instructors painted Trump as a cult leader. The course “instructed therapists to hate their Trump supporting patients,” Garfield-Jaeger wrote in a post on social media after attending the class. “I was ‘taught’ that if you voted for Trump, you are a part of a ‘cult on a national scale’ that ‘presents an image of bringing the country back to a white majority and white power,’” Garfield-Jaeger added. Garfield-Jaeger, a social worker and author of multiple books, including “⁠A Practical Response to Gender Distress: Tips and Tools for Families⁠,” joins “Problematic Women” to discuss the ways the field of physiology has been influenced by a political agenda in recent years. Also on today’s show, Garfield-Jaeger gives her insight into the deadly shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis in which the shooter was discovered to identify as transgender. Plus, the leftist media promoted a rumor that Trump was dead after the president did not make a public appearance for several days. Where were they during President Joe Biden’s entire administration? And we also take a little time on this week’s show to celebrate host Morgonn McMichael’s recent wedding, and the anniversary of Elise McCue being cancer free! Enjoy the show!
