Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Dr. Phil McGraw about the value of unplugging from social media; why escaping the 24/7 news cycle helps preserve mental health; why America isn’t as divided as media portrays; how practicing gratitude out loud can improve well-being and shift focus from pain to blessings; how young people consume content in much different ways than the mainstream media understands; the epidemic of loneliness in Gen Z and the elderly; why America’s 250th anniversary in 2026 could spark a cultural and psychological renewal for the country through optimism and shared pride; being labeled political simply for engaging both sides; why he prioritizes cultural issues and human behavior over partisan politics; how he offered to speak at a Kamala Harris event but was ghosted; his repeated, respectful requests to interview Biden and Harris; the importance of platforming responsible voices across the political spectrum; how growing up poor shaped his values; the blessings of family life and fame; his gratitude for fans; and why he sees his career as a “get to” job, not a “got to” job; and much more.
