Keeping It Real: Conversations with Jillian Michaels

Jelly Roll went after Trump on Jimmy Kimmel Live and the backlash is exploding. What he said next is the real story, and it's why millions of country music fans say they're done with him for good.

Then a former progressive activist comes forward with a warning that should scare everybody: the political violence in America isn't over, and she explains exactly why it's about to get worse. She reveals what happened to her inside the movement before she got out, and what she says about the Charlie Kirk rhetoric will stop you cold.

Angie Nixon says she's not a socialist. So why did she join the Democratic Socialists of America, and what do the clips the DSA doesn't want you to see actually show? We play them side by side and you can decide for yourself.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles mayor race just hit rock bottom. Karen Bass and Nithya Raman tore into each other in a debate so brutal it left one question hanging over the entire city: what happens to LA if the wrong person wins?

We also expose the fake polls scandal, a voter manipulation tactic so effective you've probably already fallen for it without knowing. There's a name for what they're doing, and once you hear it you'll spot it everywhere.

Finally, the Spain migration crisis explodes. Thousands storm the streets of Ceuta near the Morocco Spain border, and how the locals answered has all of Europe holding its breath. Ireland went first, Spain is next, and nobody in Brussels wants to guess which country is after that.

James Talarico vs. Ken Paxton. The 2026 Texas Senate race decides whether Texas sends its first Democrat to Washington since 1988, and if this seat flips, the Senate goes with it. This Ken Paxton interview is the roadmap.
The Texas Attorney General breaks open his ActBlue investigation, reacts to the Talarico clips that have to be seen to be believed, and tells the full story of the surrogate baby he stepped in to save.
▶ THE ACTBLUE INVESTIGATION Paxton's office donated to ActBlue under fake names with untraceable payment methods. It worked. The door for foreign money into American elections is standing wide open, his opponent pulled $20 million through that exact platform in three months, and the judge who shut the case down sits 1,800 miles from Texas. You watched the ActBlue CEO take the Fifth 22 times. This is the man who lit that fuse, and he says the abuse is still happening right now.
▶ THE SURROGATE BABY CASE A surrogate mother ran to Texas with days left in the pregnancy. The couple paying her wanted it ended, even with a nearly 100 percent surgical success rate waiting on the other side. Paxton reached back through 80 years of case law to stop them. What happened in the seven days after that baby was born is the part you will not see coming.
▶ THE TALARICO TAPES The two James Talarico clips my producers begged me to put in front of Paxton on camera. A vegan campaign in the biggest barbecue state in America. A murder jury he suggested was too white to deliver justice. Watch Paxton's reaction to the second one. Talarico is 37 years old. If he takes this seat, Texas lives with what he actually believes for decades, so the only question that matters is which version of this man is real.
▶ THE MAHA FILES Paxton's battles over transparency in what you eat and wear: the chemicals being sprayed on the organic produce at your grocery store, the seed oils hiding in your avocado oil, the dyes in your kids' cereal, and the forever chemicals Lululemon put in leggings it advertised as healthy. Registration closes end of September. Election day is November 3rd. Watch this before you decide anything.

Enes Kanter Freedom vs the WNBA, the Supreme Court's 6 to 3 mail in ballot ruling for Trump, Mark Carney and the Canada tariff war, and new records in the Austin Metcalf and Karmelo Anthony case. Warren Smith of Secret Scholar Society joins Jillian Michaels for the one episode this week where every story has a second layer nobody is talking about.

The WNBA banned Enes Kanter Freedom from playing. He asked them one question. They still haven't answered it, and Warren explains why they never will.

The Supreme Court sided with Trump on mail in ballots and Democrats say he's rigging the midterms. Jillian pulls up the actual order. There's one detail in it that flips the entire argument, and it's the same detail CNN left out of their report.

Canada cannot win a trade war with the United States. Jillian has the numbers. Mark Carney has the numbers too. So why is he fighting? The answer is on his resume, and in a hire he made in February that Canadian media barely covered. Once you know what her job is, the tariffs make sense. Just not the way you think.

Austin Metcalf's school records are out. Karmelo Anthony's texts are out. Both sides are using them. Warren spent years teaching kids exactly like these two, and what he says about them is the hardest thing in the episode to hear.

Also: Trump's DEI speech, the moment at Emerson that changed how Warren teaches, and the grad school conversation that ended with a professor changing a grade she'd sworn she wouldn't.

The Lindsay Clancy trial has completely rocked the country, leaving America fiercely divided over the unimaginable murder of three innocent children. Was it a severe postpartum psychosis, or a calculated, cold-blooded true crime killing?

In this explosive, urgent sit-down, Doctor Phil breaks down the chilling details of the case. We uncover the massive red flags, the disturbing cocktail of 12 psychiatric medications, and the terrifying command "voice" she claims forced her hand. The biggest question of all: Why didn’t Patrick Clancy intervene and hospitalize her before it was too late?

Even more terrifying is the sickening new "Same Lindsay" movement. Why is "Team Lindsay" taking over social media with mothers filming themselves terrorizing their own crying babies in solidarity?

The stakes have never been higher. The impending verdict could mean life behind bars or an undetermined sentence in a psychiatric ward—and what the verdict could mean for the future of the justice system is monumental.

Watch until the very end to hear the one jaw-dropping detail that could flip this entire case upside down!

Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Henry Novak was murdered while the police who could have saved him hesitated, too afraid of being called racist to act. Katharine Birbalsingh, Britain's strictest headmistress, says both deaths trace back to the same root. Classroom discipline disappeared from how an entire generation got raised, and victim mindset moved in. Then white guilt did the rest, until people stopped being able to tell right from wrong.

She says it straight into the camera. We are building a society that finds a way to justify violence, as long as the target counts as the right kind of victim. The specific reason those officers hesitated while Novak bled out is the one detail from this conversation nobody forgets.

It doesn't stop by itself. Watch and see how to we fix a broken society and a lost generation.
