Bold statement alert: Lies in politics can lead to serious consequences, and today, we're exposing them. We're unravelling the story of George Santos, a former Republican Congressman, who, despite being charged with 23 counts of serious crimes, managed to keep his seat in Congress for years. We're shedding light on how he masterfully spun a web of deception, fooling even his constituents in New York.

Promising a deep dive into the psychology of lying, we analyze Santos's story as a case study for "fabulism" in politics. We're going to scrutinize the dangerous allure of the "big lie" and its societal impact. Be prepared to question the part each of us plays in allowing such deceit to persist. Moreover, we'll discuss the controversial legacy of Henry Kissinger and how his prioritization of American geopolitical dominance had detrimental effects on human lives.

Ending on a serious note, we'll explore the importance of accountability in American politics. We question the decisions of political figures like Kissinger and the implications of supporting lies and liars. We urge you, our listeners, to critically evaluate the actions of those in power and their impact on society. It's time to challenge the status quo, question the narratives, and demand the truth. Buckle up, it's going to be an eye-opening journey through the world of politics, power, and deceit!
