Dr. Phil investigates the controversial case of Michael McMahon, a former police sergeant turned private investigator, now convicted of acting as an unregistered foreign agent. His wife, Emmy award-winning actress Martha Byrne, says the real story isn’t about espionage—it’s about government overreach and a justice system that turned her husband into a scapegoat. Congressman Pete Sessions, who reviewed the case and co-signed a letter to the judge, says Michael is innocent. And retired FBI agent Kevin Hecht, a Chinese counterintelligence expert, believes the government got it wrong. As Michael prepares to enter federal prison, Dr. Phil asks: Is this what justice looks like—or is there something far more dangerous at play?

New York Mayoral candidate Adrienne Adams is promising another “guaranteed income” program,  monthly checks—no work, no expectations, just free money. Similar programs are spreading fast from coast to coast. No question, giving someone a boost in their time of need can be a great thing. But handouts with no strings don’t lift people. They hold them down. This is The Real Story.

What does it really take to keep America’s biggest city from falling into chaos? Dr. Phil sits down with New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Kaz Daughtry for a no-holds-barred conversation about juvenile gangs, violent crime, and a justice system that’s letting criminals walk free. But it doesn’t stop there — they tackle the disturbing rise in antisemitism, from attacks on Jewish residents to hate-filled rhetoric on college campuses. With over 90,000 ghost cars and 20,000 illegal guns taken off the streets, this is a battle to save the soul of a city. Mayor Adams says, “This is Gotham… we need to be Batman.” Because if New York falls, what happens to the rest of the country? Special thanks to our sponsors! Support the brands that support us!

Brian Wilson gave us Good Vibrations, Surfin’ U.S.A., and the soundtrack to summer itself. But behind the Beach Boys legend was a man fighting demons most of us can’t imagine—hallucinations, trauma, addiction, and mental illness. He didn’t quit. He turned pain into purpose, and failure into brilliance. This is The Real Story of Brian Wilson.

Dr. Phil and Border Czar Tom Homan break down a major LA raid targeting cartel-linked businesses, sparking protests and debate.     

They discuss a major multi-agency operation in Los Angeles targeting criminal enterprises in the garment industry. Homan explains how ICE, DEA, FBI, IRS, and other agencies collaborated to serve search warrants, uncovering $80 million in undeclared imports, $17 million in unpaid tariffs, and arresting 41 undocumented immigrants. The operation, part of a larger investigation into money laundering and cartel activity, sparked intense protests and clashes outside targeted businesses. Homan discusses the challenges of balancing law enforcement with public outcry, the new zero-tolerance policy for interference, and the importance of transparency about the broader criminal context of these actions.

FBI. ATF. IRS. U.S. Marshals. A federal judge. This wasn’t a rogue ICE operation—it was a takedown of a $95 million criminal ring. Counterfeits, illegal labor, tax fraud. The media left all that out.

Dr. Phil has The Real Story.

Dr. Phil talks with Tom Homan about how strong leadership and tough enforcement are delivering historic border security and saving lives.        

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Phil welcomes Tom Homan, former Acting ICE Director and current White House Border Czar, for an unfiltered conversation about America’s evolving approach to border security and immigration enforcement. Homan shares how, under his leadership and with strong support from President Trump, the U.S. achieved historic reductions in illegal border crossings—securing the southern border faster than anyone thought possible. He explains the smart, effective strategies now being used to target public safety and national security threats, while also offering humane solutions for those seeking to self-deport. With firsthand stories and clear-eyed analysis, Homan lays out why enforcing immigration laws is not only about upholding the rule of law, but also about saving lives, protecting vulnerable migrants from cartels, and honoring those who pursue legal pathways. Dr. Phil challenges and explores these tough issues, giving viewers a front-row seat to the real impacts—and real leadership—behind today’s border policy.

Masked mobs. Burning cars. Media gaslighting. Dr. Phil returns to The Real Story with the most jaw-dropping footage yet—while legacy media tellsl you it’s all just a “celebration.”

See what they won't show you. Hear what they won’t say. And decide for yourself. Are these protests—or anarchy by design?

This is The Real Story —and it’s blistering.

For two decades, Mike Baker operated in the shadows as a covert CIA operative, tracking global threats and gathering intelligence. Now, he’s laying out the stark realities of modern espionage and national security—starting with China’s long-game strategy to reshape the world order. Mike explains how intellectual property theft, infrastructure infiltration, and cyber warfare are being used to erode American influence.

Dr. Phil presses Mike on the vulnerabilities most Americans don’t realize exist—from power grids to data security—while exploring how businesses must rethink risk mitigation beyond traditional security measures. They break down the psychological tactics used in intelligence operations, the intersection of espionage and business strategy, and why critical thinking and preparedness are America’s best line of defense.

This episode isn’t about fear—it’s about awareness. Understanding these silent threats is the first step in protecting the future.

Tariffs up? Trump gets blasted. Tariffs paused? He still gets blasted. The media’s not covering trade — they’re selling outrage. ‘TACO’ may be a cute meme… but is it costing us the truth?That’s The Real Story.
