Ep 415American Wombs for Sale: The Rise of Chinese Birth Tourism
American Wombs for Sale: The Rise of Chinese Birth Tourism Is American citizenship quietly becoming a commodity—and who's cashing in? From luxury maternity homes to international surrogacy contracts, Dr. Phil explores the growing industries helping foreign nationals—especially from China—secure U.S. citizenship for their children. Criminal defense attorney John McNicholas shares the details of a high-profile federal case involving a birth tourism ring that made millions.

New NCAA rules known as Name, Image, and Likeness allow student athletes to profit off their skill and popularity. The potential for youth stars to receive lucrative deals is changing the game. But is it for the better? Critics say N.I.L is eroding sportsmanship, creating entitled athletes and a new crop of 'sports manager' parents, pushing their kids to the brink for some bucks. Dr. Phil talks to N.I.L sensations the Cavinder Twins, a youth sports trainer, an ambitious basketball dad, and a former pro tennis player about the intense highs and harsh realities of competitive sports.

Ep 403Breaking Point: America's Rage Against Health Insurance Companies
The murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson revealed two horrific aspects of American life: A healthcare executive was shot dead, and because he was a healthcare executive, people cheered. Why?

Brigham Buhler worked a pharmacy rep for Ely Lilly, but left the industry when he could see how companies prioritized profits over patient access to life savings medications. He now has his own healthcare company, Ways2Well, focusing on prevention. Dr. Bill Hennessey worked as a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician for years, dealing with frustrated patients who were given delays and denials from health insurance companies. He left to create his own company, Careguide, to help others navigate the healthcare system.
