Keeping It Real: Conversations with Jillian Michaels

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, a well-regarded ENT specialist, became one of the most polarizing figures in American medicine after refusing to fall in line during COVID. When her off-label use of ivermectin went public, the backlash was immediate: her hospital suspended her, the medical board came after her, and she was thrust into a national firestorm. In this episode, she lays out the blueprint she says was used to punish dissenting physicians—how hospital systems, public-health agencies, and industry interests closed ranks to enforce a single narrative. She breaks down the conflicts of interest baked into the modern “medical-industrial complex,” and why she decided to fight rather than fold. From vaccine-injury cases to mandate battles to the unprecedented wave of medical censorship, Dr. Bowden pulls no punches. She takes aim at the NIH, FDA, major hospital systems, and the Biden administration—exposing what she sees as a system more interested in profit, control, and compliance than patient care.

In this episode, Jillian Michaels sits down with Tomi Lahren — host of Tomi Lahren Is Fearless and FOX News / FOX Nation commentator to break down Minnesota’s $1B Somali-run fraud scandal, political fear around scrutinizing nonprofits tied to Ilhan Omar’s orbit, national-security red flags involving overseas kickbacks and alleged Al-Shabab links, the fallout from Dearborn’s “Death to America” chants, Trump’s plan to review visas and green cards from 19 countries, America’s ongoing immigration and assimilation failures, and the blue-city crime crisis that keeps releasing repeat violent offenders back onto the streets. They also dig into the Tennessee special election where Matt Van Eps barely held a district Trump once dominated — and what that warning shot means for the GOP moving forward. This is a blunt, unfiltered conversation about corruption, extremism, public safety, and the political incentives protecting all of it.

Donald Trump Jr. joins Jillian for an unfiltered brutally honest interview — tearing into the latest Thomas Crooks conspiracy, the unanswered questions the media won’t touch, and why he thinks the narrative is being manipulated. Don Jr. weighs in on the Russia–Ukraine war, the escalating threat from Iran, Trump’s Gaza Peace Deal, and the real story behind the bombing of Venezuelan narco terrorist boats that insiders are whispering about but nobody will report. Don Jr. also dives deep into the U.S. economy, inflation, Mamdani / the rise of socialism in America, and what his father really believes about the future of the country. He opens up about the 2026 midterms, the fight for control of the House, what the GOP must do to survive, and his fears about political retaliation if Republicans lose power. Don Jr. also gives a raw look at the internal war inside the Republican Party — MAGA vs. the establishment — and how it could reshape American politics for the next decade. Finally, he gets personal. What’s it really like being Donald Trump’s son in the middle of nonstop investigations, media attacks, and global scrutiny? How does he navigate the pressure, the expectations, and the fallout of his father’s presidency?

Former Navy SEAL and Newsmax primetime host Carl Higbie joins Jillian for a deep dive into some of the most explosive cultural and national-security issues unfolding right now. Carl breaks down Texas’s decision to label CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations — a threat he says he flagged nearly a decade ago. Jillian and Carl then dig into the crisis unfolding in Dearborn, Michigan, where Sharia courts, non-assimilation, political intimidation, and open displays of Islamic supremacy have ignited national concern. Carl argues Dearborn is a preview of what happens when Western governments abandon their own values under the weight of grievance politics and demographic pressure. From there, the conversation zooms out to Europe’s demographic replacement movements, the collapse of assimilation, and leaders too afraid of being called “Islamophobic” to confront the cultural takeover happening in plain sight. They also dive into the Thomas Crooks controversy, the unanswered questions surrounding the data-tracking claims, the FBI’s handling of his online footprint, and why Carl believes there’s far more to this story than the official narrative is admitting — including the political incentives to bury key details. They also get real about masculinity, fatherhood, the collapse of male role models, and why so many young men are drifting toward rage, nihilism, and extremists like Nick Fuentes. Carl shares raw stories from Iraq, explains the mindset that carries Navy SEALs through near-death training, and talks about why emotional resilience and discipline are disappearing from an entire generation.
