Princeton to Prison to the Supreme Court Jun 18, 2026

Show notes

P.G. Sittenfeld was on his way to becoming mayor of Cincinnati when the FBI built a fake world around him...fake investors, a rented penthouse, undercover agents posing as wealthy developers ... and spent an estimated $2–5 million in taxpayer money to investigate $40,000 in legally reported campaign donations. He said on tape it couldn’t be a quid pro quo. That line ended up in his indictment. He was convicted, sentenced to prison, pardoned by President Trump, and this week won a unanimous Supreme Court victory. A story about what happens when the government decides to come after you ... and what it takes to survive it.

Japan's World Cup Class vs New York's Midtown Mayhem Jun 17, 2026

Show notes

I Saw the Best and Worst of Sports Fandom This Weekend. The Difference is Stunning. I was in Dallas when Japan stunned the Netherlands at the World Cup. Hours earlier, I watched the Knicks win their first NBA title in 53 years. Same weekend. Same euphoria. Completely different aftermath. Japanese fans celebrated by cleaning up the stadium. Knicks fans set buses on fire, stabbed strangers, and put a teenager in a coma. I've studied human behavior my entire career. What happened in New York is a symptom of something deeper. And the Japanese showed us exactly what the cure looks like. This episode breaks down the psychology of why — and what it's going to take to change it.

Faith Under Attack. How President Trump and I are Standing Strong Jun 12, 2026

Show notes

God Bless America. In God We Trust. One Nation Under God. We sing it. We see it on our dollar bills. We were raised on it. So why is faith under such brutal, relentless attack in America right now? President Trump has had enough. And he personally asked me to join him in the fight. For the past year I've served on his Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty. What we uncovered will shock you — a coach fired for praying, a teacher forced to hide her crucifix, a student banned from writing a Bible verse on her own parking space. And what's happening to a group of nuns in New York right now? It stopped me cold. This isn't China. This isn't history. This is America. Right now. Listen. Share. Your freedom depends on it.

They Survived Prison. Can They Survive Freedom? Jun 09, 2026

Show notes

Between them, John Kinsel and Dusty Turner lost 59 years. John went in on a child's testimony that the child herself recanted under oath in open court ...and still sat in that Louisiana prison for 19 more years while the system looked the other way. Dusty went in because his swim buddy committed a murder, blamed him for it, and then confessed on tape in 2002. A judge declared Dusty innocent in 2008. The state appealed two days later. Tonight, for the first time, Dr. Phil talks directly to John... the prison never allowed it before. And he follows up with Dusty, who walked out in March and was back behind bars six weeks later on a parole violation he says was an honest mistake. These two men missed 9/11, iPhones, social media, streaming ...nearly everything that defines modern life. What they're finding out now is that surviving the system was only half the battle. Jason Flom is back, too because this fight doesn't end at the prison gate.

Still in the Fight: Years of Fighting for the Wrongly Convicted Jun 08, 2026

Show notes

Dr. Phil and Jason Flom have been talking about wrongful convictions for years. Tonight they look at where things stand because some of these cases have moved, and not all of them in the right direction. Richard Glossip spent 27 years on death row and finally walked out. Tiana Broadnax joins from London. She met James as a law student researching capital punishment, married him through glass with 16 days to go, and watched Texas execute him on April 30th, 2026... while DNA evidence pointed elsewhere and a co-defendant's confession sat unread. She says the fight isn't over. Tonight, you'll believe her.

Why Is the New York Times Printing Dog Rape Lies About Israel? Jun 05, 2026

Show notes

The New York Times just printed a claim that Israeli prison guards trained dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners. The byline read that Nicholas Kristof was "reporting." As in: these are facts. They aren't. No evidence. No credible sources. Just allegations from a Hamas-linked organization and a George Soros-funded group with a documented history of false claims against Israel. Now Prime Minister Netanyahu is suing the Times for libel. The American Jewish Committee calls it modern blood libel. And one Palestinian writer says even Kristof's own sources can't be trusted. This is what antisemitism looks like in 2026.

Texas Children’s Hospital Opens Detransition Clinic: Whistleblower Speaks Out Jun 03, 2026

Show notes

After first making national headlines for exposing alleged secret gender-transition procedures on minors at Texas Children’s Hospital, whistleblower Dr. Eithan Haim is sitting down with Dr. Phil McGraw to discuss the hospital’s stunning new reversal. Texas Children’s Hospital has now agreed to a major settlement with the state of Texas, reportedly paying $10 million and moving forward with plans to open what is being described as the nation’s first pediatric de-transition clinic. The move comes after years of controversy, political scrutiny, legal battles, and growing national debate over gender-related medical care for minors. Dr. Haim discusses why he says he risked everything to speak out, the fallout he faced after becoming a public whistleblower, and what he believes this latest development means for families, doctors, and the future of pediatric gender medicine.
