Renowned evolutionary psychologist Professor Gad Saad exposes how "suicidal empathy" and infantile logic are silently dismantling Western civilization.   In this explosive episode of Hang Out with Sean Hannity, evolutionary psychologist and cultural commentator Professor Gad Saad joins the show to discuss his latest blockbuster insights into human nature, freedom, and ideological warfare. From escaping real-world horrors during the Lebanese Civil War to challenging the progressive elites of modern academia, Dr. Saad shares his raw perspective on why Western societies are sleepwalking into a trap of false empathy and dangerous political correctness.   Sean and Gad dive deep into the psychology of modern entitlement, breaking down how socialist economic policies function as an "infantile logic" that reduces citizens to state dependency.
