Tom Homan Speaks Out: Minneapolis Shooting, Border Crackdown Jan 09, 2026

Show notes

White House Border Czar Tom Homan returns to visit with Dr. Phil and share what he sees as real results on the border—fewer illegal crossings, more resources for officers, and a renewed focus on public safety. In this respectful, straightforward conversation, Dr. Phil also asks Homan to weigh in on the deadly events in Minneapolis, and Homan offers his candid take on what happened and how it connects to his broader views on law and order. Dr. Phil gives him the space to explain his decisions, highlight the accomplishments he’s most proud of, and respond to concerns about how these policies affect families on all sides of the issue.

The Daughters They Lost: Camp Mystic Parents Speak Out Jan 08, 2026

Show notes

Parents who sent their daughters to Camp Mystic, an all‑girls Christian camp on the Guadalupe River, relive the joy of that summer and the horror of the flash flood that followed. They describe the girls they lost, the riverside cabins in “Flash Flood Alley,” and the moments they realized this was not just a freak storm, but a preventable disaster they say was made worse by bad policies, missed warnings, and a camp that promised their children would be safe.

What The Heck Is Happening With Higher Education Now? Dec 29, 2025

Show notes

From the ‘Whiteness Pandemic’ at Minnesota, to conspiracy theories in Northwestern’s biomedicine classes, to the fallout at Texas A&M. Students are faking beliefs, hiding opinions, and living in fear of speaking honestly. This isn’t higher education. It’s conformity, silence, and indoctrination.

How To Spot A Shooter: Situational Awareness Dec 27, 2025

Show notes

How to spot danger before a mass shooting: real stories and practical situational awareness you can use anywhere.

Dr. Phil breaks down how to spot early warning signs before violence erupts, at the mall, on campus, at the beach, anywhere you live life. Using real cases from a Black Friday shooting in San Jose, the Bondi Beach Hanukkah attack, and the Brown University lockdown, he explains baselines vs anomalies, crowd behavior shifts, and why your gut often knows first. You’ll learn simple situational awareness habits, what “run, hide, fight” really looks like in the real world, how to talk to your kids without scaring them, and what to do if you see threatening behavior online or in person.

It's a Christmas Tree. Stop the liberal lunacy already. Dec 24, 2025

Show notes

Portland refuses to call it a Christmas tree. A school board wages a civil war over “Christmas break” vs. “holiday break.” Now there’s even a fruitcake packaging controversy. If hearing Merry Christmas throws you this far off balance, the problem isn’t the greeting. It’s your coping skills. Wishing all of you, a very Merry Christmas, plainly, kindly, and without apology.
