    What happens when a single bill hits your wallet, your healthcare, your community—and your democracy—all at once? In this episode, we tear into Trump’s 1,100-page “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” a mega-law experts say punishes 80% of Americans while showering the wealthy with massive gains. From gutting Medicaid and SNAP to pollution and Trump sweeping new powers, the OBBBA isn’t just a policy shift—it’s a seismic shock to everyday life. Join us as we expose how a bill branded as “beautiful” became one of the most damaging power plays in modern American history.

    Trump’s Tariff Policy: Economic Masochism or a Power Play for the Wealthy?
    2025/10/20
    Short Term Gains, Long Term Pain is a hard-hitting economic deep dive that exposes what history really tells us about tariffs, who truly pays for them, and how they impact everyday Americans. From rising prices and inflation to retaliatory trade wars, we unravel whether tariffs actually boost domestic spending, reshore manufacturing, or simply grow federal debt and the trade deficit. This podcast reveals the hidden chain reaction of costs, economic vulnerability, and corruption behind protectionism—showing how tariffs threaten democracy, concentrate power, and quietly transfer wealth to political insiders. Are tariffs breaking the American economy, and is Trump’s tariff strategy really about economic security—or consolidating power for the elite? Tune in and decide.

    How Trump Won the 2024 Election
    2025/07/14
    The latest Change Oracle Podcast episode is titled “Why Trump Won.” It confronts the deeply unsettling reality of Donald Trump’s return to the presidency in 2024. Despite a legacy defined by corruption, lies, insurrection, and environmental degradation, Trump prevailed. Why? This episode explores the powerful mix of disinformation, fear, and psychological manipulation that enabled his comeback. From the GOP’s war on truth to Trump’s manipulation of economic anxiety and masculine identity, the podcast unpacks how a twice-impeached, convicted criminal convinced millions to ignore reality. Voters’ craving for security, nostalgia, and authoritarian certainty triumphed over evidence, character, and democratic norms. “Why Trump Won” is a sobering look at how populism, propaganda, and power warped the will of a nation — and what that means for the future of democracy.
