Part 1: After Charlie Kirk's assassination shocks the nation, a powerful disinformation machine unleashes a wave of hate, conspiracies, and manufactured outrage. If you've ever wondered why the country feels more divided, more angry, and more easily manipulated, this episode will change the way you understand modern influence.

Behavior science expert Chase Hughes joins Dr. Phil for a powerful breakdown of how modern Americans are being conditioned psychologically, neurologically, and emotionally by systems designed to divide and control. Drawing from the same behavioral frameworks he teaches to elite military units and intelligence operatives, Chase explains how outrage, tribal identity, and manufactured division are not political accidents but psychological operations rooted in decades of influence research.

Dr. Phil unpacks the neurology behind these tactics how the amygdala, reward centers, and subcortical systems are hijacked by media, algorithms, and curated conflict. Together, they trace the evolution of mass manipulation from early propaganda and MKUltra to Operation Mockingbird and today's algorithm-driven radicalization loops.
