About this episode

Dr. Phil discusses the implications of space travel on American unity and critiques the media's portrayal of NASA's budget cuts.

We just went 250,000 miles into space… and THIS is what nobody’s telling you. We’re spending nearly $100 billion of taxpayer money on the Artemis program—even though the private sector can do it faster… and for a fraction of the cost. So when you hear that President Donald Trump is cutting NASA’s budget, understand this: It’s not about slowing down space exploration. It’s about speeding it up… and making it dramatically more efficient. But instead of celebrating a historic moment, some in the media would rather turn this into just another political fight. And that’s a mistake. Because space exploration brings Americans together. It reminded us what we’re capable of—when we stop arguing and start building. Don’t let that get lost. Because this isn’t just about the Moon…It’s about who’s going to lead the next chapter of humanity. Sponsored by Preserve Gold. Don’t react — have a plan.
