The Botched Execution of Christa Pike Oct 10, 2026

Show notes

Christa Pike survived her own execution. Now Tennessee faces serious questions about what went wrong and whether the state can legally try again. Dr. Phil examines the botched execution, the possible medical failures, the constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment, and Governor Bill Lee’s decision to suspend Tennessee executions pending an independent investigation. Pike was convicted of the brutal 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer. Her guilt is not in dispute. But Dr. Phil asks a fundamental question: Does the government have the right to carry out a death sentence if it cannot guarantee the execution will be conducted constitutionally? And at the center of this tragedy is Colleen’s mother, May Martinez, who waited more than three decades for justice only to witness an execution that raised more questions than answers.

Profit Over Protection: Is Big Tech Betraying Your Child? Oct 01, 2026

Show notes

Every major social media platform has made the same calculated bet: your child's safety is worth less than their bottom line. And not one of them moved until the lawsuits started hitting the stock price. Dr. Phil speaks with a special education teacher whose entire career was built on protecting children ... and who still couldn't protect her own daughter from a predator who found her through a popular gaming platform. Her attorney, one of the country's leading sexual abuse litigators, breaks down exactly how these platforms were designed to fail your kids. And a child safety advocate who has taken on Meta, Google, and Epic Games explains why this isn't one bad actor ... it's how the entire industry operates. If your child has a phone, a tablet, or access to any screen ...this episode is about your child. Tonight’s guests reveal the warning signs every parent needs to know, what to do if something has already happened, and why the only language these platforms have ever responded to is money. The courtrooms are catching up. But are they moving fast enough? https://www.envoytv.com/

Should Homeschooling Be Regulated Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

Dr. Phil is discussing a historic shift in education. Students across the country are being withdrawn from their public schools, and being homeschooled at rates reported to be 3 times higher than before the pandemic, with no slowing down. But an issue some are raising when it comes to homeschooling, is the concern that many states lack oversight, assessments, and regulations that could leave children vulnerable for neglect and abuse. Just this past year, the Connecticut Office of the Child Advocate filed a report that recommended tighter Connecticut state oversight for homeschoolers. The OCA claimed after conducting two investigations, they had serious concerns that some parents are taking advantage of what they claimed was Connecticut’s complete lack of oversight in order to isolate children and abuse them. Dr. Phil will speak Diane Connors who is the founder and co-president of the Connecticut Homeschool Network. Diane claims homeschooling is the safest place for children, and the OCA report is not transparent and is misleading to give law makers a reason to infringe on the parental rights of parents in how they educate their children.
