The Dr. Leslie Show
Hosted by Dr. Leslie Dobson · EN
This isn’t bedtime reading — it’s your favorite dose of chaos, crime, and dark comedy at humanity’s expense, all served with a heavy pour of sarcasm and satire.
Dr. Leslie takes you straight into the messiest media cases dominating the headlines — and dissects them down to their twisted core and exposes just how thin the line is between tragedy and entertainment… thinner than anyone wants to admit. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist (and an impressively low tolerance for bullshit), Dr. Leslie is here to make sense of the madness… or at least make you laugh at it.

Understanding Psychopathy in Young Children ... and politicians and actors and Hollywood.
Dec 1800:24:46Summary readyThe conversation delves into alarming incidents of childhood violence, particularly focusing on a case where a six-year-old shot his teacher. It explores the psychological patterns that may indicate psychopathic behavior in young children and raises questions about parental responsibility and school safety. And Trump, politics, Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, SNAP benefits, Scotland JIMs and so much more. This is not normal for a six-year-old and I want you to remember this! He has a pattern that mimics an adult psychopath. He has shown no remorse for his actions. The behavior exhibited is alarming and concerning. Parental oversight is crucial in such cases. Schools must ensure the safety of all students. The implications of childhood violence are far-reaching. Understanding these behaviors can help in prevention. There is a need for better mental health resources. Community awareness is essential for addressing these issues.The American government is manipulating you, full of lies and deception, on both red, blue, and extreme sides. Nick Fuentes is being subbed in for Charlie Kirk while Erika Kirk fondles JD Vance's hair while he denounced the religion of his wife?? Red pill.
