Dr. Phil is heading to the Arctic — and it could change America's energy future forever. A team of American wildcatters just earned the rights to drill the first modern oil wells in Greenland's remote Jameson Land Basin — and they believe they're sitting on 13 billion barrels of untapped oil.

In this episode...

Just a guitar, six strings, and a message so powerful it united the left and the right in a country that can barely agree on anything. Church's commencement address at UNC Chapel Hill is being called one of the greatest speeches ever delivered — not just at a graduation, but anywhere. Today we break down exactly why — string by string — and what every single one of us can take fr...

He said on tape it couldn’t be a quid pro quo. That line ended up in his indictment. He was convicted, sentenced to prison, pardoned by President Trump, and this week won a unanimous Supre...
I Saw the Best and Worst of Sports Fandom This Weekend. The Difference is Stunning. I was in Dallas when Japan stunned the Netherlands at the World Cup. Hours earlier, I watched the Knicks win their first NBA title in 53 years. Same weekend. Same euphoria. Completely different aftermath. Japanese fans celebrated by cleaning up the stadium. Knicks fans set buses on fire, stabbed strangers, and put a teenager in a coma. I've studied human behavior my entire career. What happened in New York is a s...

The New York Times just printed a claim that Israeli prison guards trained dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners. The byline read that Nicholas Kristof was "reporting." As in: these are facts. They aren't. No evidence. No credible sources. Just allegations from a Hamas-linked organization and a George Soros-funded group with a documented history of false claims against Israel. Now Prime Minister Netanyahu is suing the Times for libel. The American Jewish Committee calls it modern blood libel. And o...

China may only own “1%” of U.S. farmland — but this isn’t about acres. It’s about access. Farmland near military bases. Land near critical infrastructure. A growing espionage threat hiding in plain sight. That’s why Senator Pete Ricketts is pushing the PLOT Act — the Property Location Oversight and Transparency Act. The media focuses on the “1%.” The PLOT Act focuses on the map. And that’s where the real story is. This episode is brought to you by: Get up to $20,000 in FREE Gold & Silver wit...
