Government Shutdown | The REAL Story with Dr. Phil

We take a deep dive into trigger warnings and how they are permeating our country. There are now warnings regarding movies, novels, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, museum exhibits and more. We take an inside look at policies at colleges and hear from Cornell students on whether it’s a good idea in the classroom to have warnings about immigration, racism, and violent crimes … including the student who sponsored a resolution to make them mandatory which did not pass. We analyze the current research on this issue, discuss all the words like spiders and blood that are considered too difficult to hear without a warning and hear two university professors debate whether students are too sensitive (critics call them “snowflake students”) or should be encouraged to hear trigger warnings for their mental health if a topic is too close to home.

It’s a multi-billion-dollar industry built on manipulation, coercion, and unimaginable suffering— Human trafficking and it’s happening right here in the United States. Human Trafficking is one of the most underreported crimes, leaving us with only a fraction of the true scope; it’s in our cities, our suburbs, and even our social media feeds. Tonight, we’re exposing the shocking tactics traffickers use to lure victims. We’ll go undercover with a private investigator works to rescue victims, hear from survivors who escaped the unthinkable, and learn what you can do to stop it. This is the wake-up call America needs—because no one is truly safe until we all know the truth.

If lawmakers can't pass a budget on time, they need a new job. It's been months, and I'm still reeling from the last government shutdown. It's the same game every year. Congress must stop the shenanigans and take our national debt seriously.
