They say no one leaves paradise — but they haven't looked at California lately.

California has the beaches, the sunshine, and the red tape. Texas has no income tax, booming jobs, and a working blueprint for the American Dream.

Today on The Real Story: Why we made the move — and why businesses like Tesla, Oracle, Realtor.com, and John Paul Mitchell are doing the same.

Young men wanting to be muscle influencers but using performance enhancement drugs say they are suffering from "bigorexia" or muscle dysmorphia. Is social media to blame?

According to a recent study from the Center for Countering Digital Hate, there have been 420 million views of videos on Tik Tok pushing steroids to teens. Some experts say that trend is creating young men to develop "bigorexia," or muscle dysmorphia. Senior anchor for News on Merit Street investigates on how easy it is for teens to order illegal performance enhancement drugs online. Ryan says he was able to get these drugs online when he started bodybuilding to follow in his father, Shawn's, footsteps. He started posting his journey online and developed a huge following. At just 16 years old, Ryan says his muscle gains plateaued. So he found another way to get to superhero status until he went blind. Plus, we meet Colton who says he's using steroids now and looking to launch himself to internet stardom at whatever cost. But his fiancée Alex says she wants Colton to stop using steroids because it turns him into an angry person full of rage. And Callum Hood, head researcher at the Center for Countering Digital Hate, tells Dr. Phil about the study he led focusing on how Tik Tok videos promote steroid-like drugs. And Dr. Thomas O'Connor is a board-certified doctor of internal medicine and professor at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. He's also known as the "Anabolic Doc" who knows firsthand what it's like to be addicted to performance enhancement drugs.

Today's Real Story is how so many on the left would rather see Trump fail than prevent a terrorist regime from starting a nuclear war. These so-called journalists are rooting for mission failure and against a ceasefire just to prove Trump wrong. One bumbling analyst even argued that Iranians don't really mean it when they say "Death to America."

What does it take to make a movie about one of America's most controversial presidents in an industry that didn't want it made? In this behind-the-scenes exclusive, Dr. Phil sits down with film producer and author Mark Joseph to discuss his new memoir "Making REAGAN" and unpack the untold journey behind the making of "Reagan" the movie, starring Dennis Quaid.

From unreliable financiers and COVID shutdowns to navigating deep political divides and fraudsters who nearly tanked the project, Joseph shares the personal and professional chaos that came with telling Reagan's story truthfully. He talks candidly about why Quaid was the only actor who could pull it off, how real-life Cold War threats inspired fictional KGB characters, and why Reagan's flaws were the key to humanizing him on screen.

Tune in and find out:

• Why Hollywood tried to bury the film—and how it survived.

• What Reagan's son and inner circle really thought of the final cut.

• How personal loss, timing, and emotional maturity shaped Quaid's performance.

• The business of biopics—and how to spot a fraud in the film industry.

Dr. Phil explores the growing trend of young adults choosing to live with their parents—and the social consequences that come with it. He talks with a 24-year-old woman who defends living rent-free with her mother and a mother who believes sharing her home with her adult daughter sets her up for future success. The debate escalates when Dr. Phil brings in renowned podcaster Jennifer Cohen, who argues that parents who house their grown children may be holding them back from becoming capable, resilient adults. Later, a 27-year-old woman opens up about never having left home and reveals how the idea of venturing out alone triggers crippling anxiety.
