China may only own “1%” of U.S. farmland — but this isn’t about acres. It’s about access. Farmland near military bases. Land near critical infrastructure. A growing espionage threat hiding in plain sight. That’s why Senator Pete Ricketts is pushing the PLOT Act — the Property Location Oversight and Transparency Act.The media focuses on the “1%.” The PLOT Act focuses on the map. And that’s where the real story is.This episode is brought to you by:Get up to $20,000 in FREE Gold & Silver with a qualified purchase.

Dr. Christine Marie, who along with her husband Tolga helped expose a man named, Samuel Bateman, who claimed to be the self-proclaimed prophet of a religious polygamous sect, known as the FLDS. Samuel Bateman claimed the group’s leader, Warren Jeffs, had died while in prison, and he was the now the prophet. It is reported that Bateman formed his own group within the FLDS, where his male followers not only gave their adult wives to the him, but also their underage daughters, as young as 9 years old, to become Bateman’s “wives,” and who he would sexually abuse. Dr.Phil will speak with Dr. Christine, who along with her husband Tolga, would earn the trust of Samuel Bateman and his followers, and be invited to spend one and a half years filming hundreds of hours of footage with them. Dr. Christine and Tolga would eventually begin secretly working with the FBI, while continuing to be embedded within the sect. Samuel Bateman would eventually be arrested and sentenced to 50 years in prison for the crimes he committed against his underage wives. Many of his adult male and female followers were also held to justice. Christine, Tolga, and their footage are featured in the Netflix 4 part documentary series, “Trust Me: The False Prophet,” which chronicles the rise and fall of Samuel Bateman, and is streaming now on Netflix.This episode is brought to you by:Don’t wait!

You think you're feeding your family safe food. Bill Marler has spent three decades proving otherwise. As America's most prominent food safety attorney, Marler has represented thousands of victims in nearly every major U.S. food borne illness outbreak from the Jack in the Box E. coli disaster that put a 9-year-old girl in a coma, to the Nestlé cookie dough that hospitalized a Nevada mother of six for over two years, to the infant formula that gave 51 babies botulism in 2026. He's taken on big companies and won over $800 million for families who thought they were just sitting down to a normal meal.  Dr. Phil sits down with Marler for a conversation that will change the way you look at every plate in front of you. Why is it still perfectly legal to knowingly sell salmonella-contaminated chicken? Why did it take grocery stores six weeks to pull botulism-tainted baby formula off shelves  after the FDA told them to? And when politicians say America has "the safest food supply in the world" what does the man who's seen the bodies have to say about that?  Marler also reveals the foods he personally refuses to eat, the red flags to look for the second you walk into a restaurant, and the simple rules that could protect your family.This episode is brought to you by: The You Can Do It Foundation supports meaningful media that reflects faith, family, personal responsibility, and freedom.

Students are being allowed to leave class, not for a field trip, but for a political rally.

Comedian and SNL alum Rob Schneider joins Dr. Phil for a deep dive into the psychology of comedy, why the brain needs incongruity, why “offense” spreads socially, and why people self-censor even when they know better. They discuss Schneider’s book “You Can Do It! Speak Your Mind, America”, the cognitive mechanics of humor, and how to speak up with clarity and dignity in a polarized culture. Plus: what comedians can teach all of us about resilience, fearlessness, and reading the room, without living under the room.This episode is brought to you by;The You Can Do It Foundation supports meaningful media that reflects faith, family, personal responsibility, and freedom.

This week we introduce you to a group of people who are living proof that free speech is still alive and well in this country. They each made the choice to speak out in the face of criticism, condemnation, and even outright cancellation. What they said and why they chose to speak out. In part three, Dr. Phil explores if free speech is quietly being redefined from classrooms to culture at large. Blocked from painting Bible verses like “God is the way, the truth, the light” and “Love is patient, love is kind,” two students’ cases quickly escalated beyond school grounds, drawing national attention, prompting policy changes, and, with First Liberty attorney Keisha Russell, sparking a deeper legal and cultural debate as Dr. Phil examines the constitutional stakes while Piers Morgan warns the next generation may be unprepared for the real-world consequences of free speech.Thank you to our sponsor HighLevel: If you own a small business, don’t skip this.

Three assassination attempts on President Trump. I’m angry as hell and here’s why you should be too. Love him or hate him, this is not about politics. This is about the safety of the President of the United States and the stability of the country itself. We’ve seen this before. From Abraham Lincoln to John F. Kennedy, presidential assassinations have thrown America into chaos. So the real question is: Why are we so close to it happening again?

Part 2: How willing are you to stand up for what you believe - even if it means being shunned by friends, family…maybe even cancelled. All this week we’re talking to people who chose to do just that. Jillian Michaels walks away from what she calls reckless, click-driven outrage masquerading as truth, Piers Morgan warns of a growing backlash reshaping free expression across media and society, and a student’s Bible-verse parking spot—“Love is patient, love is kind” ignites a real-world legal battle over religious freedom and the First Amendment.Thank you to our sponsor HighLevel: If you own a small business, don’t skip this.

This week we focus on people standing up for their right to be heard. Courageous voices - young and old, famous and not…daring to speak their mind and stand by their convictions in the face of a culture that would rather have them cancelled. Jillian Michaels calls out media hit pieces and refuses to play into click-driven outrage. Piers Morgan says the backlash to years of speech policing is already reshaping free expression in America. And when a student’s parking spot sparks a legal fight, it raises a national question: is neutrality protection or censorship?Thank you to our sponsors:Sponsored by Preserve Gold.

The liberal media may hate Donald Trump but they’re not telling you the full story about how he’s saving college sports. In this episode of The Real Story, Dr. Phil breaks down how NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) changed everything — turning college athletics into a billion-dollar, pay-to-play system. What started as a way to fairly compensate athletes has turned into a nightmare for those of us who love college sports. So what does Trump’s executive order actually do — and why are so many leaders inside college sports supporting it? Comment below — do you think college sports are being saved?Sponsored by Preserve Gold.

Holden Hughes was a 14-year-old freshman and football player at an elite CaliforniaCatholic school when he put on a friend’s prescription acne mask at asleep over. Three years later, in the summer of 2020 during Covid shutdowns andBLM protests, a parent obtained that old photo, posted it to social media calling it “blackface,” and organized a protest at the school, all within hours. By the next day, St. Francis High School told Holden and his family:withdraw or be expelled. No investigation. No hearing. No due process. In spring 2024, a California jury sided with Holden and set a legal precedent that private high schools must provide fair procedure before expelling students. Dr.Phil sits down with Holden and his parents, Frank and Wendy, to hear his story: what really happened that night, what the mob did to his family, and whether a jury verdict can give back the senior year, and the reputation, that was taken from him.Thank you to our sponsors that made this episode possible:You Can Do It Foundation supports meaningful media that reflects faith, family, personal responsibility, and freedom.
