Dr. Carole's Couch

According to legend, Halloween began as the night when spirits of the dead hunt for bodies to possess. In order to avoid becoming possessed, people left out food or wore disguises, and this turned into our current custom of trick-or-treat. It is no wonder then, that real life crimes increase on this night, and demons come out in force. Today's guest, Lisa Collier Cool, is the author of the bestselling book, Deliver Us From Evil, which became a major motion picture. It is based upon the investigations of haunted houses and cases of demonic possession of her co-author, Ralph Sarchie, a New York City police Sergeant who moonlights as a demonologist. The book begins with one of the spookiest cases, the case of the Halloween Horror. Ms. Collier Cool is the bestselling author of six books and winner of 19 journalism awards, after writing more than one million words for America's leading magazines, newspapers and websites.

What's ailing Tucker Carlson? Today's guest, Rabbi Michael Barclay, reveals the answer  on this edition of Dr. Carole's Couch. Tucker Carlson's 'reincarnation', as the host of an  internet show, after being fired from FOX News, is a puzzlement that gets stranger with each show. Particularly noteworthy is Tucker's extreme hatred of Israel and antisemitism,  which have been subjects of much confusion and consternation - with assessments ranging  from childhood trauma to bribery from Qatar and more. You will hear what's behind these theories.    Rabbi Barclay has added an additional theory to the mix, for which there seems to be some  evidence.  According to the Rabbi, Tucker may also be suffering from a brain condition called  Pseudobulbar Affect. Hear why the Rabbi believes this to be true, and what the possible  causes are.    Rabbi Barclay is the host of the new radio show and podcast, "The Rabbi's Table: Dialogue Not Debate" on CRN Digital Talk Radio. He is also a widely read columnist and Torah commentator and an international speaker. Rabbi  Barclay is the author of Sacred Relationships: Biblical Wisdom for Deepening Our Lives Together. He is also the  founder and spiritual leader of Temple Ner Simcha, the first non-Orthodox synagogue in the U.S. that has no  membership dues. His synagogue is located in Westlake, California and is supported by donations and grants.  

The terror attack of October 7th not only killed and injured Israelis in a 'celebration' of Hamas Islamist barbarism, it also took Israeli hostages. But, since Israel's motto is "No hostage left behind!", the IDF went on daring resue missions.

It takes you inside Gaza and  Israel and reveals the brilliant stratagizing,  danger, heroism and sacrifice involved - including the fatal wounding of Arnon Zmora, the Chief Inspector of the elite Yaman counterterrorism unit that made the rescue.
