    Fentanyl, Suicide and Isolation: The Truth About America’s Lost Generation

    America is one of the wealthiest nations in the world so why are younger Americans dying at dramatically higher rates than their peers in other developed countries? Dr. Phil breaks down the growing crisis of “deaths of despair”: drug overdoses, fentanyl poisonings, alcohol-related illness, suicide, depression, and profound social isolation. He examines the widening mortality gap facing Americans under 45, the role of screens and social media in replacing real-world connection, and why digitally connected young people may be more emotionally disconnected than ever. Do not wait until tragedy happens to reach out. A call, an invitation, or one act of kindness could help someone feel seen and could save a life.This episode is brought to you by:Get up to $20,000 in FREE Gold & Silver with a qualified purchase.

    A Mother Missing in the Bahamas: Her Family's Search For Answers

    It’s been over 2 months since Lynette Hooker vanished in the Bahamas without a trace. Her husband of 25 years, Brian Hooker, claims the last time he saw his wife was when she allegedly fell overboard the couple’s 8-foot hard bottom dinghy, on the way back to the sailboat the couple had been sailing and living on. Brian claims he and Lynette encountered rough weather and choppy sea that forced Lynette overboard, with winds allegedly separating them instantly – leaving Brian unable to rescue his wife. Brian was found washed up on shore, miles away, at 4am, after he claims he was forced to physically paddle the dinghy - due Lynette falling overboard with the engine key. Days after Lynette went missing, Brian Hooker was taken into custody by the Royal Bahamas Police, but released without charges, and has continued to maintain his no wrongdoing. Dr. Phil speaks with Lynette's daughter, Karli, and her mother, Darlene, who claim they are skeptical of Brian's story, and share new details as to why.This episode is made possible with the support of our sponsors.

    If you haven't heard Eric Church's commencement speech, you need to right now

    Forget everything you've heard about graduation speeches. Eric Church just changed the game. No politics. No soapbox.

Church's commencement address at UNC Chapel Hill is being called one of the greatest speeches ever delivered — not just at a graduation, but anywhere. Today we break down exactly why — string by string — and what every single one of us can take from it, degree or not.This episode is made possible with the support of our sponsors.

    Princeton to Prison to the Supreme Court

    P.G. Sittenfeld was on his way to becoming mayor of Cincinnati when the FBI built a fake world around him...fake investors, a rented penthouse, undercover agents posing as wealthy developers ... and spent an estimated $2–5 million in taxpayer money to investigate $40,000 in legally reported campaign donations. He said on tape it couldn’t be a quid pro quo. That line ended up in his indictment. He was convicted, sentenced to prison, pardoned by President Trump, and this week won a unanimous Supreme Court victory. A story about what happens when the government decides to come after you ... and what it takes to survive it.This episode is made possible with the support of our sponsors.

    Japan's World Cup Class vs New York's Midtown Mayhem

    I Saw the Best and Worst of Sports Fandom This Weekend. The Difference is Stunning. I was in Dallas when Japan stunned the Netherlands at the World Cup. Hours earlier, I watched the Knicks win their first NBA title in 53 years. Same weekend. Same euphoria. Completely different aftermath. Japanese fans celebrated by cleaning up the stadium. Knicks fans set buses on fire, stabbed strangers, and put a teenager in a coma. I've studied human behavior my entire career. What happened in New York is a symptom of something deeper. And the Japanese showed us exactly what the cure looks like.

    Faith Under Attack. How President Trump and I are Standing Strong

    God Bless America. In God We Trust. One Nation Under God. We sing it. We see it on our dollar bills. We were raised on it. So why is faith under such brutal, relentless attack in America right now? President Trump has had enough. And he personally asked me to join him in the fight. For the past year I've served on his Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty. What we uncovered will shock you — a coach fired for praying, a teacher forced to hide her crucifix, a student banned from writing a Bible verse on her own parking space. And what's happening to a group of nuns in New York right now? It stopped me cold. This isn't China. This isn't history. This is America. Right now. Listen. Share.

    They Survived Prison. Can They Survive Freedom?

    Between them, John Kinsel and Dusty Turner lost 59 years. John went in on a child's testimony that the child herself recanted under oath in open court ...and still sat in that Louisiana prison for 19 more years while the system looked the other way. Dusty went in because his swim buddy committed a murder, blamed him for it, and then confessed on tape in 2002. A judge declared Dusty innocent in 2008. The state appealed two days later. Tonight, for the first time, Dr. Phil talks directly to John... the prison never allowed it before. And he follows up with Dusty, who walked out in March and was back behind bars six weeks later on a parole violation he says was an honest mistake. These two men missed 9/11, iPhones, social media, streaming ...nearly everything that defines modern life. What they're finding out now is that surviving the system was only half the battle. Jason Flom is back, too because this fight doesn't end at the prison gate.This episode is brought to you by; The You Can Do It Foundation supports meaningful media that reflects faith, family, personal responsibility, and freedom.

    Why Is the New York Times Printing Dog Rape Lies About Israel?

    The New York Times just printed a claim that Israeli prison guards trained dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners. The byline read that Nicholas Kristof was "reporting." As in: these are facts. They aren't. No evidence. No credible sources. Just allegations from a Hamas-linked organization and a George Soros-funded group with a documented history of false claims against Israel. Now Prime Minister Netanyahu is suing the Times for libel. The American Jewish Committee calls it modern blood libel. And one Palestinian writer says even Kristof's own sources can't be trusted.

    Alex Murdaugh’s Murder Convictions Overturned: His Attorney Speaks

    Dr. Phil sits down with Jim Griffin, attorney for disgraced South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh, after a shocking court decision overturned Murdaugh’s double murder conviction in the killings of his wife Maggie and son Paul. The South Carolina Supreme Court ruled Murdaugh did not receive a fair trial, citing improper jury influence and misconduct involving former court clerk Becky Hill — a dramatic development that has reignited national debate over one of America’s most notorious murder cases. Now, Griffin joins Dr. Phil to break down the stunning reversal, the allegations of jury tampering, and why the defense believes the original verdict was deeply flawed. Dr. Phil presses Griffin on the evidence against Murdaugh, the public outrage surrounding the case, and what comes next as prosecutors prepare for a possible retrial. Could Alex Murdaugh really get another chance in court?

    For One Texas Plumber, Success Started Flooding Her Life

    She built the business. Now she’s fighting to stop it from taking over her life. Jillian is one of only five female master plumbers in Texas, a working master plumber, business owner, wife, and mother who grew her plumbing company from a single-desk operation into a multi-truck, full-service business. Gas, sewer, water, emergencies, her team can handle it all. But growth came with a cost. Missed calls. Delayed responses. Too many tabs open. Too many fires to put out. Customers were slipping through the cracks, and the pressure was following her home. The truth? Jillian didn’t have a demand problem, she had a systems problem. And like so many small business owners, the more successful the company became, the more trapped she felt inside it. In this episode of Dr. Phil’s Small Business Playbook, Dr. Phil helps Jillian move from reactive manager to strategic operator, showing how speed-to-response, centralized communication, AI tools, smart scheduling, and better boundaries can help a small business scale without burning out the person who built it.

    By Accident or By Design? Big Tech's War on Your Children

    The conversation continues. In part two, Dr. Phil goes deeper with Roblox survivor Michael aka “Schlep”... who says he was groomed on Roblox as a child by a platform-promoted developer, his attorney Steven Vanderporten, and trial attorney Mark Lanier, who last week won a landmark $6 million verdict after a Los Angeles jury found Meta and YouTube liable for allegedly engineering their platforms to addict children. According to the jury's findings, the companies acted with malice, fraud, and oppression. Today the question gets answered: was this an accident or was it by design? According to internal documents introduced at trial, Meta executives were aware their platforms were allegedly harming children and continued operating anyway. Dr. Phil breaks down what parents need to know right now and what they need to do tonight before their child logs on again.Sponsored by: Dr. Phil uncovers the hidden dangers tied to today’s explosion of at-home injections — from insulin and GLP-1s to life-saving emergency medications.

    Is Social Media Destroying a Generation?

    He was eight years old the first time he logged onto Roblox. He was fifteen when his mother called the platform to ask why her son was in the hospital. They say the company sent her a copy-paste email with a suicide hotline number. Nothing else. Now 22, Michael ... known online as "Schlep” ... says he was groomed on Roblox as a child by a developer the platform promoted and profited from. He says he spent two years running sting operations on the platform that hurt him, getting six predators arrested and protecting children across the country. Michael says the social media’s response was to ban him, sent a cease-and-desist, and accused him of acting like a predator himself. Dr. Phil sits down with Michael and his attorney Steven Vanderporten ...who represents over 3000+ survivors who say they were exploited on on this platform, alongside Mark Lanier, the trial attorney who recently made history when a Los Angeles jury found Meta and YouTube liable for deliberately designing their platforms to addict children, with malice, fraud, and oppression. With over 100 federal Roblox cases now consolidated in court and 2,300 more pending against Meta, the question is no longer whether these platforms are dangerous. A jury already answered that.

From the deadly mosque shooting in San Diego… to a congressional candidate calling for “American Zionists” to be locked up… to a grown man accused of trying to “beat the gay” out of a small child. What is happening to this country? Who profits from outrage? How much blame does the media deserve? Why are Americans filled with so much hate? And most importantly — how do we stop the madness? Dr. Phil breaks down the psychology of hate, toxic media, fear, division, and what happens when a society loses empathy. The United States. Not the Disunited States.Sponsored by: Get up to $20,000 in FREE Gold & Silver with a qualified purchase. Text ASKPHIL to 50505 or visit https://DrPhilgold.comSponsored by: Don’t wait!

    Young and Hooked On The Game: Is There a Sports Betting Crisis?

    Since the Supreme Court allowed states to legalize sports betting 8 years ago, the industry has exploded with over $160 billion dollars legally bet on sports last year … especially with the introduction of mobile and online sports books. Many claim the legalization has allowed betting on teams, and even individual players, to not only become the new normal, but an accepted part of sports culture. Some experts claim this normalization, along with the online accessibility, and marketing centered around sports betting, could be leading to a health crisis among young male adults – a group who are reported to have the highest sports gambling rates. Dr. Phil speaks with Mason, a 21-year-old college senior who is a popular sports betting influencer who says although he believes the industry targets young adults, particularly colleges students, he says it’s unfair to blame the sports betting industry for gambling addiction. Dr. Phil will also speak with Dustin, a young man who says betting on sports started off as innocent fun, but then snowballed into a powerful addiction that saw him betting nearly a quarter of a million dollars in just 3 years. Now, Dustin says it’s been 212 days since he last placed a sports bet, find out how betting sobriety has changed his life. Plus, Dr. Phil will speak with Kyle, a college student sports journalist who knows the topic of sports betting on his college campus well. Find why Kyle says prop betting on an individual athlete’s performance is very popular among college students.Thank you to our sponsor:Everyone says they'll record their family's story “someday,” but we all know that usually means never.

    Spies Among Soybeans: We Must Stop China Now

    Safe to Eat? Bill Marlers Warning for Americans

    You think you're feeding your family safe food. Bill Marler has spent three decades proving otherwise. As America's most prominent food safety attorney, Marler has represented thousands of victims in nearly every major U.S. food borne illness outbreak from the Jack in the Box E. coli disaster that put a 9-year-old girl in a coma, to the Nestlé cookie dough that hospitalized a Nevada mother of six for over two years, to the infant formula that gave 51 babies botulism in 2026. He's taken on big companies and won over $800 million for families who thought they were just sitting down to a normal meal.  Dr. Phil sits down with Marler for a conversation that will change the way you look at every plate in front of you. Why is it still perfectly legal to knowingly sell salmonella-contaminated chicken? Why did it take grocery stores six weeks to pull botulism-tainted baby formula off shelves  after the FDA told them to? And when politicians say America has "the safest food supply in the world" what does the man who's seen the bodies have to say about that?  Marler also reveals the foods he personally refuses to eat, the red flags to look for the second you walk into a restaurant, and the simple rules that could protect your family.This episode is brought to you by: The You Can Do It Foundation supports meaningful media that reflects faith, family, personal responsibility, and freedom.

    What’s Coming for Free Speech: Piers Morgan and Students Silenced

    This week we introduce you to a group of people who are living proof that free speech is still alive and well in this country. They each made the choice to speak out in the face of criticism, condemnation, and even outright cancellation. What they said and why they chose to speak out. In part three, Dr. Phil explores if free speech is quietly being redefined from classrooms to culture at large. Blocked from painting Bible verses like “God is the way, the truth, the light” and “Love is patient, love is kind,” two students’ cases quickly escalated beyond school grounds, drawing national attention, prompting policy changes, and, with First Liberty attorney Keisha Russell, sparking a deeper legal and cultural debate as Dr. Phil examines the constitutional stakes while Piers Morgan warns the next generation may be unprepared for the real-world consequences of free speech.Thank you to our sponsor HighLevel: If you own a small business, don’t skip this.

    Falsely Accused of Blackface: The Acne Mask, the Mob, and the Fight for Justice

    Holden Hughes was a 14-year-old freshman and football player at an elite CaliforniaCatholic school when he put on a friend’s prescription acne mask at asleep over. Three years later, in the summer of 2020 during Covid shutdowns andBLM protests, a parent obtained that old photo, posted it to social media calling it “blackface,” and organized a protest at the school, all within hours. By the next day, St. Francis High School told Holden and his family:withdraw or be expelled. No investigation. No hearing. No due process. In spring 2024, a California jury sided with Holden and set a legal precedent that private high schools must provide fair procedure before expelling students. Dr.Phil sits down with Holden and his parents, Frank and Wendy, to hear his story: what really happened that night, what the mob did to his family, and whether a jury verdict can give back the senior year, and the reputation, that was taken from him.Thank you to our sponsors that made this episode possible:You Can Do It Foundation supports meaningful media that reflects faith, family, personal responsibility, and freedom.

    Space Travel Unites America, Don't Be Fooled By Mainstream Media

    We just went 250,000 miles into space… and THIS is what nobody’s telling you. We’re spending nearly $100 billion of taxpayer money on the Artemis program—even though the private sector can do it faster… and for a fraction of the cost. So when you hear that President Donald Trump is cutting NASA’s budget, understand this:It’s not about slowing down space exploration. It’s about speeding it up… and making it dramatically more efficient. But instead of celebrating a historic moment, some in the media would rather turn this into just another political fight. And that’s a mistake. Because space exploration brings Americans together. It reminded us what we’re capable of—when we stop arguing and start building. Don’t let that get lost. Because this isn’t just about the Moon…It’s about who’s going to lead the next chapter of humanity.Sponsored by Preserve Gold. Don’t react — have a plan.

    Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic. Sometimes it hides in insomnia, gut issues, brain fog, and a body that feels “wired but tired.” In this episode, Dr. Phil talks with nutritional psychiatrist and trained chef Dr. Uma Naidoo about the science behind nutritional psychiatry using food and nutrients alongside therapy and medication to support mental well-being.Dr. Phil and Dr. Naidoo break down the gut–brain connection in plain language: how chronic stress can disrupt the microbiome, increase inflammation, and intensify anxiety and depression symptoms. Dr. Naidoo also explains why anxiety surged during the pandemic and why it hasn’t fully dropped back down pointing to ongoing stress, uncertainty, and the way modern eating patterns can keep the nervous system on edge. Based on Dr. Naidoo’s work and books including This Is Your Brain on Food and Calm Your Mind with Food this conversation is a science-forward guide for anyone who wants a better mood, better sleep, and a brain that feels more in control.

    Tom Homan: The Truth They're Not Telling You

    In part two of his conversation with Dr. Phil, Tom Homan goes deeper. He says flat out, unequivocal, that he believes sleeper cells from the border crossing are already inside this country and the intelligence community knows it. He talks about the 145,000 children the Biden administration lost track of and what his team has found. And he takes on the media directly, after personally visiting the Dilley family detention center in Texas and seeing something very different from what's been reported. Clean kitchens. Children laughing in classrooms. Doctors who treat every child like their own. Tom Homan says it was a far cry from what he'd been reading for two months. Dr. Phil gives him the space to tell the story the headlines aren't telling, and asks the questions that still need answering.Thank you to our sponsors that made this episode possible:Don’t wait!

    Tom Homan: The Border Czar Returns

    Tom Homan has spent more than 40 years in law enforcement.He didn't have to come back. But he did because he believes in the mission and the people carrying it out. When Dr. Phil sat down with him in January, a major story was just breaking. A lot has happened since. Homan was dispatched toMinneapolis to take control of a difficult situation, worked directly with local officials to bring things to a close, and has spent the months since navigating one of the most intense periods in the history of border enforcement. Through all of it, he has remained focused on one thing... the safety of the American people and the men and women putting their lives on the line every day to protect it. Dr. Phil gives him the space to speak for himself, talk about what he's learned, and share why,  through all the noise,  he believes the work matters.Thank you to our sponsors that made this episode possible:You Can Do It Foundation supports meaningful media that reflects faith, family, personal responsibility, and freedom.

    Liberal media hits all-time low following murder of college student

    Sheridan Gorman didn’t deserve to die. Her story deserves to be told. Police say the suspect, Jose Medina, opened fire without warning on the Chicago lakefront. And yet — this story didn’t dominate headlines.It didn’t lead the news cycle. In many places, it barely showed up at all. Why? Because those ICE raids — whether people agree with them or not — were meant to prevent exactly this kind of outcome. Sponsored by Preserve Gold. Don’t react — have a plan.
