Stalking stories have captured the country’s attention with hugely popular shows that follow encounters that spark fixation but it’s not always fiction.

Shockingly low literacy rates, underfunded schools, and overworked teachers are creating a perfect storm, leaving millions of students behind academically. Dr. Phil sits down with educators, parents, and a former senior official in the U.S. Dept. of Education to uncover what's REALLY happening in our public schools. Samantha, a former special ed elementary school teacher, says all she wanted to do since she was a child was work in education. But after experiencing the reality of teaching in the modern day, she says she will never step foot in a classroom again. Also, disgruntled parents, Mark and Val, noticed their two kids being underserved in their public schools. Their son was falling behind in reading and math, and their daughter was unchallenged. But they didn’t know until the pandemic forced them to look at what their kids were doing in school. They decided to pull them out of school, sell their house, and “world school” them. Justin, a former principal, reveals how schools are being pressured to pass students even if they don’t show up to class. Jeanne Allen, the CEO of the Center of Education Reform, shares her 30-year battle with the education system and how she’s trying to change the “factory-like” public school system into a more productive one.

Dr. Phil delves into the alarming rise of sextortion targeting teen boys, uncovering the silent threats lurking in the digital world and urging families to tighten their bonds before it's too late. There's a dangerous and silent predator infiltrating homes across America, preying on the vulnerability of teen boys. In an era where familial connections are dwindling, virtual sextortionists capitalize on teenagers' longing for connection, exploiting their impulses and their parents' lack of tech-savvy.

America’s drug shortage is impacting millions of lives and threatening the US’s national security.  Could China be behind it? Millions are going without the medications they need due to the national drug shortage. Hundreds of drugs that treat cancer, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and more are in serious short supply causing widespread panic and suffering. Twenty-nine-year-old Samantha, who has been on ADHD medication for the past 14 years, says she hasn’t been able to get her prescription filled for months and it’s turning her life up-side-down and negatively impacting her work and relationships. Phil, an independent pharmacist, says the shortage may force him to close his business. By lunchtime almost every day, Phil says he has at least 20 prescriptions he can’t fill. But the shortage isn’t just compromising Americans’ health, it’s exposed a dangerous vulnerability in our national security. More than 90% of prescriptions written in the US come from India and China. Are American lives being put at risk because of the US’s overreliance on drugs and pharmaceutical ingredients from China, a foreign adversary? Many experts say yes. Dan Izhaky, CEO of United Safety Technology, raised his hand to make PPE on American soil during Covid. He even received a nearly $100 million award from the US government to get production off the ground. But Dan says, 3 years later, he has nothing to show for it. He says it’s been impossible for his company to compete against Chinese companies backed by China’s communist regime. China-US relations expert and President of The Jamestown Foundation, Peter Mattis, says the Chinese government is deliberately malicious and capable of callous disregard for those in foreign countries and even their own people. This episode, “Our Dangerous Dependency on China” asks three questions: 1) The current drug shortage is happening during peacetime but what if tensions between the US and China rise and the Chinese government decides to stop sending lifesaving medication and pharmaceuticals to America? 2) Is America prepared for the next global pandemic? 3) Why aren’t critical products like PPE and pharmaceuticals being manufactured in the US?
