  • COP30: A Climate Summit Undone by Fossil Fuels

    COP30: A Climate Summit Undone by Fossil Fuels
    Dec 8 2025

    This episode dives into what really happened at COP30 — the third straight UN climate summit derailed by fossil-fuel obstruction.

    From political infighting and infrastructure failures in Belém to the refusal to even name fossil fuels in the final agreement, we unpack why this conference fell so far short of the moment. With climate-driven disasters accelerating worldwide, COP30’s outcome raises a critical question: Is the global process meant to protect our future now incapable of rising to the challenge? Join us as we break down what went wrong, what little went right, and what it means for the shrinking window to secure a livable planet.

    Nov 25 2025
    What happens when a single bill hits your wallet, your healthcare, your community—and your democracy—all at once?

Join us as we expose how a bill branded as “beautiful” became one of the most damaging power plays in modern American history.

    Oct 20 2025
    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.

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

    How Trump Won the 2024 Election
    Jul 14 2025
    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.
