The Dr. Phil Podcast

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 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.

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.

Braun Levi was an 18-year-old senior and standout tennis player at Loyola High School in California with a bright future ahead, including a planned college tennis career. On May 4, 2025, while walking with a friend in Manhattan Beach, he was struck and killed by a vehicle driven by a woman allegedly under the influence of alcohol and driving on a suspended license. The impact of his death rippled through his school, family, and community, sparking grief and calls for change. His parents later established the Live Like Braun Foundation to honor his legacy and raise awareness about the dangers of impaired driving. In early 2026, the woman accused in the crash pled not guilty to murder and other felony counts, with prosecutors alleging her blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit at the time of the collision. Braun’s story is one of a promising young life cut tragically short, and of a family channeling grief into advocacy and a broader push to prevent similar losses.

In the wake of a violent antisemitic attack on campus, DePaul student Michael Kaminsky and University of Chicago student Jake Rymer refused to stay silent. What began as fear and frustration over rising campus hostility after October 7 became a grassroots legislative movement. With no political power or institutional backing, the two students organized, educated, and lobbied city leaders -culminating in a unanimous 50–0 City Council vote making Chicago the largest American city to codify the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism into municipal law. As New York City rescinds its adoption of the same definition, this episode examines courage, institutional failure, bipartisan action, and what happens when the youngest voices in the room redraw the moral line against hate.

What happens when you “tax the rich”… and the rich leave? In this episode of The Real Story, we break down Zohran Mamdani’s plan to raise taxes — and why the outcome may be the opposite of what people expect. Here’s the reality: New York has already lost more than $500 billion in income. Over 125,000 residents have moved to Florida, taking billions with them. And the top 1% still pays over 40% of all income taxes. So what happens if more of them leave? You don’t just lose the rich. You lose the revenue. You lose the jobs. You lose the businesses that support entire communities. That’s not theory. That’s already happening. This isn’t about politics. It’s about outcomes. Because when you drive out the people funding your economy—you don’t redistribute wealth…you reduce it. For everyone. Sponsored by: Preserve Gold: Don’t react — have a plan.

Antisemitism is ancient, but the delivery system is new: algorithms, influencers, and conspiracy culture. Israeli writer and speaker Hen Mazzig joins Dr. Phil to unpack the psychology behind antisemitism, scapegoating, dehumanization, moral licensing, and “certainty addiction.” Hen brings lived experience, a humanitarian background working as an intermediary in the West Bank, and years fighting misinformation online through the Tel Aviv Institute. Together, they map the mental mechanics of hate, explain why “just facts” often fail, and offer practical tools to respond without escalating, how to spot manipulation, set boundaries, and build coalitions that protect pluralism and dignity for everyone. Key Learning Points: *A clean “red-line” test: criticism vs demonization, delegitimization, and double standards *The most common tropes disguised as activism and how to spot them instantly *Practical response scripts for family gatherings, workplaces, and campuses *A digital “interrupt” plan to stop outrage-fueled misinformation from spreading.

California quietly reclassified people in their early 50s as “elderly” and opened the door for rapists with 50-, 100-, even 800-year sentences to walk free after serving a fraction of their time. Through Jennifer’s story, this episode uncovers how that happened with almost no public scrutiny, why most victims never hear about these parole hearings until it’s too late, and what prosecutors and judges say must change before other states start copying the same playbook.

They can schedule a heart transplant in days. In America, you wait years. That impossible math has one explanation: someone is being killed to fill the order. Tonight, investigative journalist Jan Jekielek, senior editor at The Epoch Times and author of Killed to Order: China's Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America's Biggest Adversary exposes the Chinese Communist Party's state-sanctioned, for-profit organ harvesting industry, estimated at $8.9 billion a year. From the whistleblower whose surgeon husband harvested corneas from 2,000 living prisoners, to the survivor who woke up in a Chinese prison with a 14-inch scar and parts of his liver and lung missing, to the hot-mic moment between Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin... the evidence is no longer deniable. And America is more entangled in this than most people know. Thank you to our sponsors that made this episode possible: *Don’t wait!

Is forced organ harvesting in China a hidden human rights atrocity the world has ignored? In this gripping episode, Dr. Phil examines disturbing allegations that prisoners of conscience, including Falun Gong practitioners and Uyghurs, are being detained, medically tested, and used in a system of on-demand organ transplants. He explores claims of black-market brokers, impossible transplant wait times, whistleblower testimony, and the role of the Chinese Communist Party in what some investigators describe as a massive, profit-driven industry. Dr. Phil also connects the issue to the United States, raising urgent questions about medical ethics, America’s dependence on China, pharmaceutical supply chains, and whether global silence is being bought at a devastating human cost. This is a chilling look at one of the most controversial and disturbing stories in the world today.
