    From Media Backlash to School Censorship: Who Controls Free Speech?

    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.

    You Might Also Like: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

    Introducing Leila Hormozi: Feel Like You’re Working Hard but Not Getting Ahead? (Use THIS Simple Filter to Focus on What ACTUALLY Makes You Money) from On Purpose with Jay Shetty. Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty We spend so much time waiting to feel ready, not realizing that confidence only comes after we begin. Today, Jay sits down with Leila Hormozi to explore what truly drives success, not just in business but in becoming the person who can sustain it. What emerges is a powerful shift in perspective. Confidence is not something you chase, it is something you earn through competence. Leila shares candid stories from her early struggles with insecurity, rejection, and self-doubt, revealing that real growth begins the moment you stop waiting to feel ready and start taking action anyway. Together, they unpack a hard truth. The path to confidence is built through failure, humility, and the willingness to be seen as “bad” before becoming great. The conversation moves beyond mindset into the mechanics of success, including discipline, leadership, and emotional resilience. Leila reframes discipline not as a personality trait, but as a system you design within your environment, making the right actions easier and the wrong ones harder. Leila also challenges the belief that strategy or market conditions determine success. Instead, she emphasizes that the real differentiator is your ability to manage your mind and emotions under pressure. Through stories of entrepreneurs who lost everything, not because of poor tactics, but because they could not stay grounded, she highlights that inner stability is the true foundation of long-term success. In this episode you'll learn: How to Build Confidence Through Competence How to Take Action Before You Feel Ready How to Turn Rejection Into Growth How to Stay Disciplined Using Simple Systems How to Manage Your Emotions Under Pressure How to Lean Into Discomfort How to Create Consistency That Drives Results How to Lead People Without Losing Trust How to Build a Successful Business Without Losing Your Values How to Focus on What Truly Moves You Forward You don’t need to have everything figured out to move forward, you just need to be willing to start where you are. Growth isn’t about feeling confident every step of the way; it’s about showing up even when you’re unsure, uncomfortable, or afraid.

    Free Speech To Reputational Damage: Piers Morgan, Jillian Michaels & More

    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.

    Love College Sports? Thank Donald Trump

    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?

    Falsely Accused of Blackface: The Acne Mask, the Mob, and the Fight for Justice

    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.

    Space Travel Unites America, Don't Be Fooled By Mainstream Media

    We just went 250,000 miles into space… and THIS is what nobody’s telling you. We’re spending nearly $100 billion of taxpayer money on the Artemis program—even though the private sector can do it faster… and for a fraction of the cost. So when you hear that President Donald Trump is cutting NASA’s budget, understand this: It’s not about slowing down space exploration. It’s about speeding it up… and making it dramatically more efficient. But instead of celebrating a historic moment, some in the media would rather turn this into just another political fight. And that’s a mistake. Because space exploration brings Americans together. It reminded us what we’re capable of—when we stop arguing and start building. Don’t let that get lost. Because this isn’t just about the Moon…It’s about who’s going to lead the next chapter of humanity. Sponsored by Preserve Gold. Don’t react — have a plan.
