Agenda, Activism, and Bias, are three words many claim are infiltrating mental health care due to therapists putting their own political ideologies before their patient's needs. There is a growing concern by many who claim some mental health professionals and psychology professors have placed their own socio-political ideologies over what's best for their patients and the students entering the field. These same critics claim the bias has left many patients feeling the need to censor themselves or forgo much needed treatment altogether. Dr. Phil will speak with 18-year-old Claire, who claims her therapist crossed the line after subjecting her to a shocking political rant after her session ended, which forced her to sever ties with her therapist during a time she needed her the most. Dr. Phil will also speak with Dana, a mother who insists a therapist with a social justice agenda and clear bias against her, further drove a wedge between her and her daughter in only three sessions. Dr. Phil will also speak with Soad, a licensed therapist who says she requires all prospective clients to check her social media so they know she is a conservative who only deals in reality, and will challenge any non-fact-based position on social justice topics.

And, Dr. Phil will Dr. Hartz who is the founder of the Open Therapy Institute, an organization focused on removing bias from mental health care across the country.

Dr. Phil's one-on-one with incoming "Borde Czar" Tom Homan. Dr. Phil has an in-depth conversation with President-Elect Trump's incoming "border czar," Tom Homan. Tom is about as tough as they come. With decades of experience, he's been tapped to oversee all U.S. borders – including air and sea security – and lead the charge on deporting undocumented immigrants. It's a cornerstone of Trump's immigration plan. But Homan is no stranger to controversy. You probably remember his role in the "zero tolerance" policy. He's not afraid of a fight, and he doesn't back down when it comes to his beliefs. Tom tells Dr. Phil about his plans on day 1, how he will implement these mass deportations, and why he's so passionate about keeping our country safe from the cartel, drugs and human trafficking.

Los Angeles County District Attorney and Sheriff talk to Dr. Phil about charges against looters and arsonists Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman talks to Dr. Phil about charging 10 individuals in four crimes committed during the devastating wildfires. Nine people are facing felony charges in connection to residential burglaries in the cities of Pacific Palisades and Altadena, and a separate defendant has been charged with arson for intentionally starting a fire in the city of Azusa. "These crimes are appalling and represent a direct attack on our community during a time of unprecedented loss and vulnerability," District Attorney Hochman said. "Let me be clear: If you exploit this tragedy to prey on victims of these deadly fires, we will find you and we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law." The felony charges were the result of a multi-agency collaboration that underscores the strength of local, state, and federal partnerships. Law enforcement agencies, including the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department; Los Angeles Police Department; Los Angeles County Fire Arson Unit; U.S. Attorney's Office; Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) collaborated closely with the District Attorney's Office to bring these suspects to justice.

America's drug shortage is impacting millions of lives and threatening the US's national security. Could China be behind it? Millions are going without the medications they need due to the national drug shortage. Hundreds of drugs that treat cancer, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and more are in serious short supply causing widespread panic and suffering. Twenty-nine-year-old Samantha, who has been on ADHD medication for the past 14 years, says she hasn't been able to get her prescription filled for months and it's turning her life up-side-down and negatively impacting her work and relationships. Phil, an independent pharmacist, says the shortage may force him to close his business. By lunchtime almost every day, Phil says he has at least 20 prescriptions he can't fill. But the shortage isn't just compromising Americans' health, it's exposed a dangerous vulnerability in our national security. More than 90% of prescriptions written in the US come from India and China. Are American lives being put at risk because of the US's overreliance on drugs and pharmaceutical ingredients from China, a foreign adversary? Many experts say yes. Dan Izhaky, CEO of United Safety Technology, raised his hand to make PPE on American soil during Covid. He even received a nearly $100 million award from the US government to get production off the ground. But Dan says, 3 years later, he has nothing to show for it. He says it's been impossible for his company to compete against Chinese companies backed by China's communist regime. China-US relations expert and President of The Jamestown Foundation, Peter Mattis, says the Chinese government is deliberately malicious and capable of callous disregard for those in foreign countries and even their own people. This episode, "Our Dangerous Dependency on China" asks three questions: 1) The current drug shortage is happening during peacetime but what if tensions between the US and China rise and the Chinese government decides to stop sending lifesaving medication and pharmaceuticals to America? 2) Is America prepared for the next global pandemic? 3) Why aren't critical products like PPE and pharmaceuticals being manufactured in the US?

Dr. Phil embarks on a critical journey to the Arizona-Mexico border, accompanied by newly appointed Border Czar Tom Homan. This visit comes as part of Dr. Phil's ongoing series exploring the realities and challenges of the southern border. Dr. Phil and Homan travel to the unfinished Arizona border wall where they meet up with the VP of the National Border Patrol Council, Art Del Cueto and discuss the crucial importance of collaboration between the federal government and state authorities. Homan also meets with key figures such as Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels, Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb, and other members of the National Sheriffs' Association. The discussion centers around Homan's plans to address the border crisis, particularly in Arizona, where border crimes have significantly increased the workload for local law enforcement. Homan, with over 30 years of experience in immigration enforcement, including his tenure as acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), shares insights into President-elect Donald Trump's agenda for illegal immigration and deportations. The episode sheds light on the staggering statistics of illegal crossings in Arizona, where local ranchers have reported hundreds of thousands of migrants trespassing on their properties. The visit underscores the urgency of the situation and why having a seasoned expert like Homan at the helm is seen as a positive step by local law enforcement. Through candid conversations and on-the-ground observations, Dr. Phil and Homan provide a comprehensive look at the challenges and potential solutions to the border crisis, setting the stage for a new era of cooperation and action in addressing one of America's most pressing issues.

Dr. Phil sits down with Hizzoner at the mayor's historic residence, Gracie Mansion. The conversation covers critical topics, including Mayor Adams' indictment, immigration challenges, and his efforts to address homelessness. In a candid exchange, McGraw asks Adams, "You've been indicted as a sitting mayor by a grand jury. Why do you think that happened?" Mayor Adams, replies that he believes it stems from him being vocal "during the migrants and asylum seekers issue." "The only consolation to this," Adams continues, "is that mommy's not alive. I would not want my mother to watch me go through this."

Are DEI initiatives the path to leveling the playing field, or have they become the very embodiment of the "reverse racism" they sought to eliminate? Critics argue that DEI policies are the Trojan horse of modern society, sneaking in new forms of discrimination under the guise of equality. As lawsuits pile up and the Supreme Court strikes down these initiatives, white men in particular are increasingly vocal about their fears. Many feel that DEI has made them targets, and that their opportunities are being stripped away to satisfy diversity quotas. What is really happening? We explore DEI and its effects across society.

Gen Z are growing increasingly disillusioned and pessimistic about the state of the world around them. A major multi-country study found that over 50% of young people believe that humanity is doomed. Gen Z or "Generation Doomer" witnessed the hope of obtaining their parents' and grandparents' American Dream lifestyles disappear after reaching adulthood. No wonder young people are angry, despondent, and hopeless. Young generations are cynical about their careers, the climate crisis, economic stability, interpersonal relationships, and the inability of their governments to govern effectively. Young professionals decry they work twice as hard as boomers and receive none of the benefits. Doomers aren't even trying to hit milestones like homeownership- instead they're doom-spending on outlandish travel and luxury goods. Many Doomers say they not only have no hope for the future- they can't stop doom-scrolling about all of the atrocities in the world, creating a vicious cycle of emptiness. On the other hand, futurists say we've faced eras of mass critical stress several times and humans have always evolved, adapted, and survived. For all we know, our lives in the future could be beyond our wildest dreams. The question we're asking tonight is- are these Doomers just contributing to their own plight and downfall?

Dr. Phil takes the incoming "Border Czar" Tom Homan to the Arizona Border. Trump recently appointed Tom Homan as our "Border Czar" to help implement his vision on fixing our border crisis. Homan has over 30 yrs of experience in immigration enforcement, having served in various capacities, including as a police officer, Border Patrol agent, and acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under Trump from January 2017 to June 2018. He also gained recognition for overseeing record deportations during the Obama administration, earning the Presidential Rank Award for his service. Dr. Phil takes Homan for the first time to see the Oletski Border Center in Arizona and to see a portion of the unfinished border wall. Homan meets with several sheriffs eager to hear how he plans on fixing the border plus talks to a rancher who says his property has caught 500,000 illegal migrants trespassing.

Dr. Phil continues his conversation with Tom Homan, the newly appointed border czar under President Trump, about his extensive experience in law enforcement and immigration enforcement over three decades. They dive into the political motivations behind border policies, the operational control of cartels, and the multifaceted challenges to border security, including terrorism risks and the humanitarian plight of migrants. Homan's perspectives—to many, controversial—connect deeply with his long-standing commitment to enforcing immigration laws, as well as his emotional investments in preventing human suffering. The discussion captures a complex narrative of national security, politics, and humanitarian ethics, contributing to ongoing debates around U.S. border policy and enforcement. Dr. Phil supports Homan's dedication, applauding his transparency and the humanitarian concern for those affected by illegal border crossings. Throughout, the emphasis remains on securing borders to protect American citizens and migrants from harm. Whether you agree with his methods or not, there's no denying that Tom is a key player in the ongoing debate over border security.

Dr. Phil has an in-depth conversation with President-Elect Trump's incoming "border czar," Tom Homan. Tom is about as tough as they come. With decades of experience, he's been tapped to oversee all U.S. borders – including air and sea security – and lead the charge on deporting undocumented immigrants. It's a cornerstone of Trump's immigration plan. But Homan is no stranger to controversy. You probably remember his role in the "zero tolerance" policy. He's not afraid of a fight, and he doesn't back down when it comes to his beliefs. Tom tells Dr. Phil about his plans on day 1, how he will implement these mass deportations, and why he's so passionate about keeping our country safe from the cartels, drugs and human trafficking.

Dr. Phil ventures into the wild world of prepping, where families and individuals are gearing up for doomsday scenarios amid political tension and global uncertainty. With the political climate boiling over and the specter of disaster looming, a surprising trend is taking root: prepping. Once dismissed as paranoid fringe behavior, preppers are now part of the mainstream. Dr. Phil delves into the psychology behind prepping, uncovering the motivations and fears that drive this growing movement. From nuclear war to civil unrest, the threats are real, and preppers are ready to face them head-on. Landon and Amanda are a prepper family, stocking their high-tech underground bunker in Indiana with enough supplies to withstand an apocalyptic event. Dr. Drew Miller says his Fortitude Ranch locations across the country are prepped for over 50 different scenarios that could collapse the US. Tylor is a survivalist in Utah who says preppers have been given a bad name. Dr. Bradley Garrett, a prepper researcher, gives insights on the psychology of prepping after studying people all over the world. But as tensions escalate and uncertainty mounts, Dr. Phil urges viewers to consider the true cost of preparedness. With humor and insight, he navigates the fine line between caution and obsession, reminding us all to live in the present while preparing for the worst. It's a gripping journey into the heart of survivalism, where the line between fear and foresight is razor-thin.

Families are under attack by our family court system. Two parents say their children were put in harm's way when the judge placed them with the abusive parent. Nearly every six days in the US, a child is killed amid a custody dispute. Families are under attack by our family court system. The big problem is these custody cases are often siloed from the criminal court system and the family judge is deciding in a vacuum. Twenty-two-year-old RJ says he and his siblings were in a 15-year tug of war between his mother and father. RJ says he was collateral damage of a broken system that failed him. RJ's mother says the judge in her case was biased and sent her to jail several times. Jason says his 8-year custody battle over his daughter nearly killed him but he would do anything for his daughter. Former Los Angeles Criminal prosecutor and co-anchor of News on Merit Street, Loni Coombs, went on assignment to find out if Lady Justice is failing families throughout America. Dr. Phil, Loni, Michigan Circuit Court Judge Rosemarie Aquilina who presides over family and criminal court cases, and psychiatrist and former medical director for Los Angeles County Department of Children & Family Services talk about why the family court is the most dangerous court in the US and what couples can do to avoid it for the sake of their children.

Drink spiking is on the rise and extremely underreported. More than 90% of people who suspected their drink was spiked didn't report the incident to the hospital, police, or venue. Nearly 11 million women in the US have been sexually assaulted while drunk or drugged. Drink spiking is so common yet so underreported due to lack of awareness, shame/embarrassment, memory loss, fear of retaliation, lack of evidence and or legal/social barriers. 50% of women and men surveyed had their drink spiked at least once. 37% had their drinks spiked multiple times. 72% of people don't know what to do in a spiking situation and when victims DO go to the hospital they're often turned away unless there are signs of rape or assault. These drugs are sheer assault weapons and can be used for serious crimes. They are very expensive to screen so while you can get screened for marijuana in almost every medical facility, most hospitals don't have screens for some of the most common date rape drugs: Rohypnol, Ketamine and GHB. We'll hear from several people who say they were roofied and it was way worse than any hangover – symptoms of vomiting, blacking out, low pulse, weak heart rate and shallow breathing.
