The Dr. Phil Podcast

Three assassination attempts on President Trump. I’m angry as hell and here’s why you should be too. Love him or hate him, this is not about politics. This is about the safety of the President of the United States and the stability of the country itself. We’ve seen this before. From Abraham Lincoln to John F. Kennedy, presidential assassinations have thrown America into chaos. So the real question is: Why are we so close to it happening again? Listen to the full breakdown and decide for yourself.

Part 2: How willing are you to stand up for what you believe - even if it means being shunned by friends, family…maybe even cancelled. All this week we’re talking to people who chose to do just that. Jillian Michaels walks away from what she calls reckless, click-driven outrage masquerading as truth, Piers Morgan warns of a growing backlash reshaping free expression across media and society, and a student’s Bible-verse parking spot—“Love is patient, love is kind” ignites a real-world legal battle over religious freedom and the First Amendment.

This week we focus on people standing up for their right to be heard. Courageous voices - young and old, famous and not…daring to speak their mind and stand by their convictions in the face of a culture that would rather have them cancelled. Jillian Michaels calls out media hit pieces and refuses to play into click-driven outrage. Piers Morgan says the backlash to years of speech policing is already reshaping free expression in America. And when a student’s parking spot sparks a legal fight, it raises a national question: is neutrality protection or censorship?

The liberal media may hate Donald Trump but they’re not telling you the full story about how he’s saving college sports. In this episode of The Real Story, Dr. Phil breaks down how NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) changed everything — turning college athletics into a billion-dollar, pay-to-play system. What started as a way to fairly compensate athletes has turned into a nightmare for those of us who love college sports. So what does Trump’s executive order actually do — and why are so many leaders inside college sports supporting it? 

Comment below — do you think college sports are being saved?

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.

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.

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.
