Is It Time America Goes On A ‘Digital Detox’

There’s been a lot of focus lately on how much ‘screen time’ children have and how technology is negatively impacting them. But scrolling on a cell phone all day is also terrible for adults. This is why many are making the case that both adults and children do a ‘digital detox’ in 2026. Clinical psychologist and family therapist Dr. Sheryl Ziegler explains how damaging cell phones and social media have been for people of all ages, and offers tips on unplugging and improving mental health by avoiding the traps of modern tech. Then, we revisit one of our most impactful interviews from the past year, when Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Rick Crawford (AR-01) joined Mike Emanuel to react to President Trump’s bold decision to bomb three Iranian nuclear sites this past June. Plus, commentary by Chuck DeVore, chief national initiatives officer with the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
