How in the world did the government get away with squandering millions and millions of your hard-earned tax dollars? DOGE may not be perfect, we may find mistakes, but we are finally ending America's financial fiasco.

According to the FBI, there are 33,000 gangs in America.  Think of how many horrific videos we’ve seen of thugs attacking people randomly. Or footage of flash gangs robbing stores. These menaces to our society have even attacked police officers in Times Square. This is happening in Anytown, USA.  Dr. Phil sits down with residents from Gilbert, Arizona where an affluent gang of teens known as the “Gilbert Goons” have been terrorizing the town. What confuses so many is that the teens come from affluence, yet they resort to selling drugs, guns, and beating random teens on the street. Their violent actions went unchecked until the authorities say the “goons” fatally beat a 16-year-old at a Halloween party. Now the community has galvanized to call out the authorities who did nothing to stop the teen violence. Katey is a mother of four and a resident of Gilbert who did her own investigation into the “goons” reign of terror. She says the city turned a blind eye because these are kids from privileged backgrounds. Rick sent his son to Europe for his safety after his son was brutally beaten by the “Goons.” And Eric, a former gang member, tells Dr Phil how a gang life is a dead end. Plus, News on Merit Street anchor, Loni Coombs did her own investigation and uncovers a teen source who happens to have ties to the “Goons.” Thank you to our sponsors:
