Tonight, we confront one of the most urgent and heartbreaking crises of our time - suicide. It knows no boundaries. Suicide touches every family, every community, and too often leaves loved ones with more questions than answers. Every 11 minutes, an American takes their own life. It's the leading cause of death among our youth. Why is nobody listening when our children are screaming for help from the edge? In harrowing cases, children have reached a desperate breaking point, crying out for intervention—yet some schools remained silent and the adults in the room failed to act. How do these tragedies unfold, and what does it say about the systems meant to protect our youth? Dr. Phil will peel back the layers of a devastating failure and search for answers that might save many more lives.

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. We'll feature a test strip demo and other solutions.

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.

Many feel that DEI has made them targets, that their opportunities are being stripped away to satisfy diversity quotas. So what is really happening?

Over 500 towns/cities with populations of 1K-200K disbanded policing 1972-2017. In the past 3 years more than a dozen PDs closed. Resignations up 47% in 2022.

We will uncover the root causes behind this crisis, shed light on the consequences of a weakened police force, and confront the harsh reality that a nation without a strong and effective law enforcement presence is a nation in peril.

Dr. Phil speaks to two women who illustrate the importance of the Make America Healthy Again initiative, and the problems with diet and nutrition in our country. Both women say they came from poverty-stricken families and have never had healthy relationships with food- one woman has been diagnosed as obese since she was in elementary school, the other has a severe case of type 2 diabetes that she developed at age 25. Both of their children also suffer from chronic illness- and they live together as roommates. They've both been on a weight-loss journey in the past year and want advice and guidance on how to help themselves and their children.

Dr. Phil discusses a chronic illness epidemic sweeping the U.S. with Calley Means, of Truemed; Dr. Cate Shanahan, nutritionist; and Jillian Michaels, fitness expert. The health of American children is under attack- and its biggest threat is a basic need, food. Research is showing that ultra-processed foods are linked to the chronic illness epidemic that is sweeping our nation. More than 40% of school-aged children and adolescents have at least one chronic health condition, such as asthma, obesity, and behavior/learning problems. Less than 1% of children eat ideal meals. Ultra-processed foods currently make up nearly 60% of what a typical adult eats- and nearly 70% of what children eat. Dr. Phil speaks to Calley Means, co-founder of Truemed; Dr. Cate Shanahan, board-certified MD and nutritionist; and Jillian Michaels, a fitness expert and trainer to weigh-in on this uniquely American crisis.

Dr. Phil speaks with Sheriff Roy Boyd of Goliad County, Texas, a dedicated seventh-generation Texan with over 30 years of law enforcement experience. Sheriff Boyd has spearheaded groundbreaking initiatives like the Operation Lone Star Task Force, tackling the critical issues of open borders, human and drug trafficking, and the pervasive influence of cartels in Texas. In this episode, Sheriff Boyd opens up about the stark realities of living and working near the US-Mexico border. He shares harrowing accounts of cartel scouts brazenly passing by his home, raising serious safety concerns for his family. Boyd sheds light on the cartel's iron grip on border crossings, where they demand payments and mercilessly punish those attempting unauthorized passage. Dr. Phil and Roy also delves into the complexities of the cartel-controlled plaza system in Mexico, where government territories are unofficially leased to cartels, further complicating border security efforts. Their conversation navigates the sinister tactics employed by cartels to manipulate smuggling routes and adapt to enforcement measures, highlighting their relentless, profit-driven operations. Despite the heavy flow of illicit traffic, Sheriff Boyd's collaborative efforts with other law enforcement agencies have successfully reduced crime in Goliad County. He passionately advocates for policies aimed at deporting illegal immigrants to diminish the cartel's influence within the U.S. Dr. Phil notes an uplift in morale among border law enforcement since Border Czar Tom Homan's involvement, suggesting a more effective collaboration and crackdown on organized crime. With unwavering commitment and courageous endeavors, Sheriff Roy Boyd vows to protect his community and uphold justice against formidable odds.

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'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.

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.

"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?
