What if the life you think you’re choosing… isn’t fully yours anymore?

This week on Raw & Unscripted, host Christopher Rausch sits down with Paul Nadeau, author of The Hostage Effect, for a conversation that is uncomfortable, eye-opening, and absolutely necessary.

We’re talking about how power, money, algorithms, and influence quietly shape our beliefs, behaviors, and decisions—without us ever noticing. How billionaires and social media giants don’t need chains or cages to control us… because compliance has become subtle, normalized, and addictive.

Paul breaks down:

1. How this “hostage effect” has unfolded historically

1. Why most people don’t realize they’re being controlled

1. How climate narratives, fear-based messaging, and AI accelerate dependence

And most importantly—how to reclaim personal sovereignty, critical thinking, and freedom

This isn’t a conspiracy rant. It’s a wake-up call.

If you value autonomy, truth, and the future of humanity—this episode will challenge you to think deeper, question louder, and choose differently.

Because freedom isn’t taken all at once.

It’s surrendered one compromise at a time.
