Dr. Phil speaks with Mariah Gardner, who claims on the evening of April 13th, 2023, her ex-husband entered her home, and carried out a deadly violent attack against her, and the 2 young daughters they shared together. Mariah claims her ex-husband, Stephen, not only shot her multiple times, including guns shot wounds to her face and neck, but also claims he stabbed their daughters (2 years old and 11 months old) during the alleged attack. Tragically, 11 month old, Willow Grace, would be pronounced dead from her injuries just 2 days shy of her 1st birthday. Now, nearly 3 years later, Stephen sits behind bars, facing the death penalty, as he awaits a trial scheduled to begin in April.Thank you to our sponsor: NMLS 182334, https://nmlsconsumeraccess.org APR for rates in the 5s start at 6.196% for well qualified borrowers.

The legacy media would have you believe America has moved past God, that people of faith are fringe, backward, or even dangerous. That’s not reality. It’s narrative. Pew Research says about 83% of Americans believe in God or a higher power, roughly two-thirds pray regularly, and around 70% identify with a religion. That’s not “extremism.” That’s mainstream America. So why the constant drumbeat, documentaries warning of “Christian uprisings,” segments implying faith must be abandoned to live authentically, and headlines that selectively frame a nation of believers as a country in spiritual freefall?Dr. Phil breaks down the pattern, the framing tactics, and the real-world data the press tends to minimize, including the measurable ways faith communities strengthen mental health, reduce crime, build civic trust, stabilize families, and fuel charitable giving. You can disagree with theology. You can’t argue with the outcomes. Because when belief in God is treated like a threat, the media isn’t describing America, it’s arguing with the facts.

A brilliant pre-med student. 521 MCAT — 98th percentile. 4.0 GPA. Published research. Primary author. Rejected by ten medical schools. If that résumé isn’t good enough, what is?On The Real Story, I examine how Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies are reshaping medical school admissions. Across the country, schools describe “holistic review,” equity mandates, and diversity goals as central to their mission. Academic metrics are no longer the primary standard and that merit is being subordinated to ideology.We break down AAMC data, LCME accreditation shifts, pass/fail grading trends, and looming physician shortages. Medicine is not a sociology lab. When you’re on an operating table, credentials matter. Excellence is not negotiable. Thank you to our sponsor: Preserve Gold - text "ASK PHIL" to 50505 and go to https://DrPhilGold.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
