Season 1 | Episode 68

With the United States more divided than ever, Dr. Phil sits down with modern-day secessionists who say they feel the Need to Secede. 

Dr. Phil explores the topic of secession and what would push an everyday person to want their state to secede from the Union. Dan Golvach reveals that the murder of his son by an illegal immigrant led him to join the Texas Exit “Texit” movement. Dr. Phil is also joined by Daniel Miller, the founder of the Texas nationalist movement, and author of “TEXIT: Why and How Texas Will Leave the Union.”. Daniel believes Texas secession is inevitable, claiming Texans could make 600% more money if Texas became its own country. Carla Gericke of the New Hampshire Exit “NHExit” movement explains why she believes New Hampshire should become its own country, and journalist Laura Wellington discusses her prediction of a second Civil War by 2029 and why secession is a real possibility. Finally, Richard Kreitner, author of “Break It Up: Secession, Division, and the Secret History of America’s Imperfect Union,” sits down to explain the facts behind these secession movements and answer the question: is secession truly possible in modern-day America?
