Forced to Scam
Dr. Phil exposes "pig butchering" scams, $3 billion stolen, victims worldwide, and trafficked workers forced to scam. The fraud isn’t just financial... it’s human. Welcome to the dark economy you never knew you were part of. Dr. Phil dives deep into one of the most sinister online crimes taking over phones, apps, and wallets: Pig Butchering Scams. These scams aren’t just clever, they’re coordinated, global operations defrauding Americans out of billions. In 2023 alone, the losses surpassed $3 billion, with a 183% spike in cases over the previous year. But here's the chilling twist: the scammers themselves are often victims, lured by fake job offers, trafficked, and forced to run these schemes under the threat of violence. Dr. Phil unpacks how these psychological traps work, why smart people fall for them, and what makes them almost impossible to trace. He speaks with cybercrime experts, survivors of the scams, and a former scammer who was trafficked into the fraud machine. This isn’t just a scam story, it’s a human rights crisis.

Socialism Is Not More Christlike Than Capitalism
Those on the far left need to read the Bible carefully and practice what Jesus preached, not some made-up political theology that equates Christianity with wokeness. It's simply not true. Christ said you should give your own goods to the poor, not that you should force someone to give up theirs.
