Summary
America is more divided than ever. From the deadly mosque shooting in San Diego… to a congressional candidate calling for “American Zionists” to be locked up… to a grown man accused of trying to “beat the gay” out of a small child. What is happening to this country? Who profits from outrage? How much blame does the media deserve? Why are Americans filled with so much hate? And most importantly — how do we stop the madness? Dr. Phil breaks down the psychology of hate, toxic media, fear, division, and what happens when a society loses empathy. The United States. Not the Disunited States.

| 0:22.7 | Can you believe that we are blessed enough to be alive for the 250th anniversary of the United States? |
| 0:32.6 | I mean, think about that. Two hundred and 50th anniversary of the United States. This has got to be one of the times where we have |
| 0:41.2 | the most patriotic pride in our country. We're 250 years old and we are the envy of every |
| 0:52.5 | country on the planet, every country in the world. |

| 1:04.1 | It's not the dysfunctional states. |
| 1:07.4 | It's not the divided states. |
| 1:09.7 | It is the United States. Now, the legacy media would lead you to |
| 1:14.5 | believe otherwise. Why? Well, because that's what they have to say. That's what they have to sell, |
| 1:22.6 | because they are basically very left-leaning. So if they're standing up and applauding, that means they're applauding the other side of the political spectrum. |
| 1:35.3 | It means something else, too. |
