Brooklyn Dad Defiant, aka Majid Padellan, and co-host Broadcaster Kenny Hesse discuss the likelihood that a frightened and feeble Donald Trump ditches the debate, the deceptive tactics used in deep fakes and "cheap fakes," and Trump's FAILED Black church fiasco in Detroit.

Who will win the first Presidential debate? Will Trump even show up? Brooklyn Dad and Kenny break down their hilarious spot-on predictions for next week’s showdown.

What’s with the recent rise in “cheap fake” videos used by Republicans and right-wing media to portray Biden as confused or lost? Our hosts expertly pick apart the schemes and you’ll hear exactly why they think Republicans have resorted to such cheap tactics. “If your guy is so good, why do you have to resort to this cheap fakery,” Brooklyn Dad asked. “Why can't you stand on his character or his accomplishments? Because he has none of those things. He doesn’t have character. He doesn't have accomplishments.”

We’ll also talk about Biden’s executive order offering protections for hundreds of thousands of undocumented spouses. “To not pull them apart - to be able to keep them together, I think it just shows the character of this man,” Kenny said. “Regardless of what you feel about the policies, at least you can acknowledge that Joe Biden is a genuinely good, decent-hearted human being that cares about people.”

You’ll hear who our “Raggedy Bish of the Week” award goes to, and you won’t want to miss our latest segment of “I’m Old Enough To Remember,” where our hosts share some touching personal political memories from listeners. From the first televised Presidential debate, to Kennedy’s assassination and of course the tragedy of 9/11, we’ll discuss how those events shaped and continue to drive the conversation today.

Hosts Brooklyn Dad Defiant and Kenny Hesse are joined by Dr. John Gartner for another epic episode of Defiant, a Really American Media Podcast Production.

In this episode, you’ll hear Brooklyn Dad and Kenny share their touching personal reactions to hearing the news that Donald Trump is the first US President in history to be convicted of a felony.

“I was watching, wrapped as Ari Melber was reading off the counts,” said Majid Padellan. “ ‘Count one, guilty. Count two, guilty.’ And he was reading them one at a time. I was bursting. I was ready. I was already queuing up the tweet.”

Dr. John Gartner is our guest, a leading psychologist, psychotherapist, author, activist, and long-time former part-time assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University Medical School. He’s also host of the HIT NEW PODCAST, Shrinking Trump.

In this shocking interview, Dr. Gartner explains in terrifying detail how Trump’s psychopathy, narcissism, paranoia, and personal sense of victimization from the felony convictions puts him right in the position he loves to fight from.

“Have you ever been a competitive athlete and you're down in the score and something rises in you, some fear, some energy that you're not gonna let those guys beat you,” asked John. “I think you're underestimating the extent to which Trump is energized by conflict.”

Why does Trump lie the way he does? How has Trump’s malignant narcissism created an alternate reality and new normal in our society? And what insight can we gain from Trump’s increasingly disturbing behavior? You’ll get the answers to these questions and many more in this fantastic episode.

You will not want to miss Dr. Gartner's tips from a psychological perspective, for how President Joe Biden can dominate Trump in the upcoming debates. And he has some very strong words for folks who suggest that Biden shouldn’t attack Trump with the “felon” label. “I disagree strongly. Violently, actually. I think they need to take it like a cudgel and beat him over the head until he is politically dead, okay? We are not above the fray, we are in the fray.”

Dr. Gartner also calls out the biased media coverage of Joe Biden’s normal aging versus Trump’s obvious cognitive decline. “Biden actually shows more signs of normal aging,” he said. “For example, speaking more softly. Speaking more slowly. Okay, so he shows more of those signs but he shows zero signs of dementia.”
