She discusses the impact of COVID-19 policies and the fear-mongering that followed, leading to what she describes as 'mass formation psychosis'. Trish doesn’t hold back on her criticism of performative leadership and the lack of genuine, honest governance.
Her guest, Scott Horton, joins the conversation to shed light on the ongoing Ukraine conflict and the political dynamics at play.
