On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel’s Fight for Survival 06/04/2025

On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel’s Fight for Survival Bestselling author and journalist Douglas Murray joins Dr. Phil for a fearless deep dive into the ideological battles defining today’s geopolitical crises. From Hamas' invasion on October 7th to the rise of anti-Israel sentiment in Western institutions, Murray dismantles the narratives fueling the global debate. How does legacy media shape public perception? Why are Hollywood and Jewish leaders hesitant to speak out? And what does Gaza’s military infrastructure reveal about Hamas’ strategy? This conversation isn’t just about the Middle East—it’s about the crisis facing Western democracies, the erosion of resilience, and the fight for heroism in an age of indoctrination. This episode challenges the narratives shaping today's conflicts—will you rethink what you've been told?” More about Douglas Murray: Author of 8 books, including On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel and the Future of Civilization (2025), The War on the West (2022), The Madness of Crowds (2019), and The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam (2017). He has been a contributor to Spectator since 2000 and associate editor since 2012. He is a columnist at the New York Post and regularly writes for the Telegraph and the Sun.

Doormat Mom: Breaking the Silence on Parental Estrangement 05/30/2025

Doormat Mom: Breaking the Silence on Parental Estrangement Why are so many families breaking apart—and is social media making it even harder to heal? Across America, parent-child estrangement is on the rise, with nearly one in four adults now cut off from a close family member. Laura, a single mom known online as "Doormat Mom," shares how her youngest daughter walked away after building a new life overseas. Kristen, a licensed therapist, explains why she chose to go "no contact" with her own mother—and why she believes not every relationship should be saved. April, a mother of four, opens up about losing her daughter to a cycle of hurt she says started long before her time, while her mother, Karen, says the blame being thrown at her is both unfair and incomplete. Dr. Phil breaks down the shifting cultural norms, the toxic messages spreading on social media, and the hard conversations families must have if they want to find their way home again.

The Science of Revenge: The World's Deadliest Addiction 05/28/2025

The Science of Revenge: The World's Deadliest Addiction Revenge isn’t just an emotional impulse—it’s an addiction. Dr. Phil and James Kimmel, Jr., JD, break down its impact on the brain and how forgiveness rewires our chemistry for healing. Revenge feels like justice, but what if it’s more like an addiction? Dr. Phil and James dive into the neuroscience behind revenge—how it hijacks our brain's pain and reward systems just like substance dependency. They explore how society reinforces these cycles, why letting go isn’t weakness, and how forgiveness actually rewires the mind. Plus, Kimmel’s “Non-Justice System” offers a fresh way to process grudges without fueling destruction. In Kimmel’s latest groundbreaking book, The Science of Revenge: Understanding the World's Deadliest Addiction and How to Overcome It, unveils the unseen neurobiological forces behind our compulsive desires for retribution—an addiction that silently fuels violence and aggression in all its forms. James Kimmel, Jr., JD, is a lecturer in psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, a lawyer, and the founder and co-director of the Yale Collaborative for Motive Control Studies. A breakthrough scholar and expert on revenge, he first identified compulsive revenge seeking as an addiction and developed the behavioral addiction model of revenge as a public health approach for preventing and treating violence. He is the creator of The Nonjustice System , the Miracle Court app and for recovering from grievances and revenge desires and preventing mass violence. He maintains an active legal practice and speaking calendar and is the author of two other books on revenge: Suing for Peace: A Guide for Resolving Life’s Conflicts and The Trial of Fallen Angels, a novel.

Gestapo? | The REAL Story with Dr. Phil 05/27/2025

Raising Lazy 05/27/2025

Raising Lazy Are we Raising Lazy? Dr. Phil speaks with a helicopter mom about her extreme parenting and its impact on her son’s future. He also examines Gen-Zers who are quietly quitting. Do they really think that approach will work in the long run? Dr. Phil will speak with Gina, who says she wears the label of a hovering helicopter mom to her 13-year-old son Stanton as a “badge of honor." Gina says she proudly goes to great lengths to protect her teen son, even if that means carrying a GUN when they're out together. Then young adults claim they are not lazy at all; they are just misunderstood and are ready for their older generation counterparts. Dr. Phil will speak with Michelle, a veteran trial lawyer and law firm owner, as well as married small business owners Lucie and Eric, who say they are concerned about the future of the young workforce. The debate begins when Dr. Phil introduces Toyin, who says her Lazy Girl Job is not about working less it's about protecting her time and energy. Dr. Phil also speaks with Ryan, a Labor Law Attorney who says he is a champion for the Quiet Quitting and Lazy Girl Job movement. Plus, Dr. Phil speaks with Shyra, who claims she doesn't think jobs are necessary at all. Special thanks to our sponsors! Support the brands that support us!
