DG Herbert Unveils Political Manipulation in ‘We Need You Poor So That We Can Rule’

In this thought-provoking episode, I sit down with Daniel Gomagallah Herbert, author of the powerful new book “We Need You Poor So That We Can Rule: The Voice of the Political Manipulator.”

We explore:

• What inspired him to use satire as a lens to tackle the deeply serious issues of poverty and political manipulation.

• The systems he believes intentionally sustain poverty for political gain.

• And what kind of reaction or societal change he hopes to spark in readers — especially among young people and aspiring leaders.

Whether you’re passionate about politics, advocacy, or storytelling, this episode will challenge how you think about power and poverty in our society.
