Phil in the Blanks

MN Gov Tim Walz at it again. He says: “Bully the s*** out of Trump.” The crowd cheers. But in a nation where bullied kids are dying — What are we rewarding? What are we becoming? That's The Real Story.

An in-depth discussion about why many Americans find using violence to solve political and societal issues justified.    It's been reported that the United States is seeing a sustained surge of political violence, including physical violence and vandalism against political leaders, federal judges, public officials, and those with an opposing ideology. But what may be most surprising is that many Americans find using violence to solve political and societal issues understandable and justified. In fact, Dr. Phil will speak with, Daisy, who is someone who claims not only can political violence sometimes be necessary for change, it can also be a logical response when people feel powerless. Dr. Phil will also speak with Paige, a young student who claims the alleged assault she endured at the hands of another student on her college campus was politically motivated. Plus, Dr. Phil will speak Kathy, a 70-year-old woman, who says her life changed forever when she claims a teenage boy physically attacked her while at a peaceful demonstration last year. Find out why Kathy says that alleged physical attack has kept her from participating in any type of activism. Thank you to our sponsors!

Why are so many boys falling behind—and what's driving them into the darkest corners of the internet? As girls continue to outperform boys in school and college, a growing number of young men are slipping through the cracks—struggling with loneliness, identity, and emotional isolation.

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).

Trump renamed the Gulf of Mexico. The left lost its mind. But when they rename military bases, sports teams, and pancake syrup — it's called “justice.” Dr. Phil breaks down the absurd double standard: why it's OK to erase Aunt Jemima or Fort Bragg, but offensive to rename a body of water. From “birthing people” to “The Chicks,” this isn't about names — it's about power. Who gets to define reality... and who gets canceled for even asking? America's identity is being rewritten. Let's talk about who's holding the pen.

A viral TikTok divorce. A hit reality show. And a culture that's glamorizing “soft swinging” and open marriage. Dr. Phil digs into The Real Story behind HULU's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives — and the dangerous cultural shift it reveals. What used to be private, sacred, and stabilizing is now public, performative, and disposable. From consensual non-monogamy to “tradwife” rebranding, this isn't just entertainment — it's a warning. Because if marriage loses its meaning, what do we pass on to the next generation?

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.

What if the urge to get even isn't just emotional—but addictive?  Kevin, a devoted father and minister, says the betrayal of his marriage left him in pieces—even after winning full custody and a $750,000 judgment in court when he sued his ex-wife's lover for breaking up their marriage. Dr. James Kimmel, author of “The Science of Revenge: Understanding the World's Deadliest Addiction--and How to Overcome It”, joins Dr. Phil to explain how the need for revenge hijacks the brain like a drug—and why so many people get stuck in a destructive loop long after the pain has passed. Through a five-step process called the “nonjustice system,” Dr. Kimmel works with Kevin to help him break free from grievance and finally reclaim his peace. Dr. Phil breaks down the emotional science of revenge, the illusion of justice, and the power of choosing healing over hatred.

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 https://nonjustice.org/ , the Miracle Court app https://www.miraclecourt.com/and https://SavingCain.org  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.

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.

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.

Join Dr. Phil as he breaks down real headlines, investigates the implications of these changes, and confronts the tough questions about fairness, performance, and the future of American excellence. #DrPhil #TheRealStory #EquityVsExcellence #Meritocracy #DEI #EducationReform #CancelCulture #WokeCulture #LoweringStandards

As mainstream media bashes Israel, ZAKA, Israel's rescue and recovery volunteers, exemplify the ultimate kindness and respect for humanity required by Jewish law.

  Dr. Phil Primetime confronts the harrowing reality of individuals whose lives are shattered in an instant by unexpected acts of brutality they never saw coming.   This episode exposes a growing surge in unprovoked, violent attacks that have reached a breaking point in our society.  The disturbing lack of respect for fellow humans, fueled by a breakdown in societal norms and the glorification of violence on social media, has pushed us to the edge. This epidemic of brutality is a societal fracture that demands urgent understanding of the psychology behind it if we are to reverse the damage and reclaim a sense of safety in our communities. Dr. Phil features three shocking incidents, a victim of Tesla terrorism in Northern California, a bride-to-be brutally assaulted by an ex-con during her bachelorette weekend in Dallas and a follow up - the aftermath of one woman's brutal beating in 2022 in a New York subway station.

We take a deep dive into trigger warnings and how they are permeating our country. There are now warnings regarding movies, novels, Mother's Day and Father's Day, museum exhibits and more. We take an inside look at policies at colleges and hear from Cornell students on whether it's a good idea in the classroom to have warnings about immigration, racism, and violent crimes … including the student who sponsored a resolution to make them mandatory which did not pass. We analyze the current research on this issue, discuss all the words like spiders and blood that are considered too difficult to hear without a warning and hear two university professors debate whether students are too sensitive (critics call them “snowflake students”) or should be encouraged to hear trigger warnings for their mental health if a topic is too close to home.

It's a multi-billion-dollar industry built on manipulation, coercion, and unimaginable suffering— Human trafficking and it's happening right here in the United States. Human Trafficking is one of the most underreported crimes, leaving us with only a fraction of the true scope; it's in our cities, our suburbs, and even our social media feeds. Tonight, we're exposing the shocking tactics traffickers use to lure victims.
