Dr. Phil exposes "pig butchering" scams, $3 billion stolen, victims worldwide, and trafficked workers forced to scam. The fraud isn’t just financial... it’s human.   Welcome to the dark economy you never knew you were part of. Dr. Phil dives deep into one of the most sinister online crimes taking over phones, apps, and wallets: Pig Butchering Scams. These scams aren’t just clever, they’re coordinated, global operations defrauding Americans out of billions. In 2023 alone, the losses surpassed $3 billion, with a 183% spike in cases over the previous year. But here's the chilling twist: the scammers themselves are often victims, lured by fake job offers, trafficked, and forced to run these schemes under the threat of violence. Dr. Phil unpacks how these psychological traps work, why smart people fall for them, and what makes them almost impossible to trace. He speaks with cybercrime experts, survivors of the scams, and a former scammer who was trafficked into the fraud machine. This isn’t just a scam story, it’s a human rights crisis.

Those on the far left need to read the Bible carefully and practice what Jesus preached, not some made-up political theology that equates Christianity with wokeness. It's simply not true. Christ said you should give your own goods to the poor, not that you should force someone to give up theirs.

Part 2: Three men say they were groomed and sexually abused by their female teachers. Dr. Phil investigates the rise of women offenders hiding in plain sight in America’s classrooms. Sexual abuse by female teachers is a growing, often overlooked crisis. Dr. Phil speaks with Michael, Justin, and Mason three men who say they were groomed, manipulated, and assaulted by women entrusted with their education. Michael and Justin were teens when their 25-year-old teacher used homework help as a gateway to off-campus meetings involving alcohol, drugs, and sex. Mason was just 11 when a married 35-year-old teacher violated his trust and his childhood. Their attorneys, Zach Runyan and Jon Marko, claim school systems and social media enabled this abuse by turning a blind eye. Christy Jack, a defense attorney who’s represented several teachers accused of assault, offers rare insight into the psychology of female offenders. Plus, one of her former clients who served prison time for abusing a 14-year-old student speaks out for the first time. Why are female predators ignored—and who is protecting our children?
