Attacked, Spit On, Threatened: The Scary New Reality for Teachers?

Tonight, Dr. Phil explores how reverse discrimination and DEI initiatives have affected some Americans. Brooks Warden is a plaintiff in a lawsuit alleging students and school administrators in the Austin Independent School District in Texas violated his civil rights. He claims he suffered repeated racial harassment since age 12 when he put on a MAGA hat in a predominantly Hispanic and liberal middle school. Brooks is joined by his father, Monte Warden and their attorney, Mark Trammell, who discuss why they’re appealing their case to the Supreme Court. Lois Herrera, an accomplished former executive at the Department of Education in NYC, was at the center of a discrimination lawsuit against the agency. Herrara, who had had a master’s degree from Harvard, was abruptly demoted and replaced by person of color with a GED. She later settled with courts for $700,000. Attorney Seth Berenzweig offers advice to those who have suffered backlash from DEI policies.

Dr. Phil's Good Friday message to the mass media and liberal lawmakers: America is one nation under God for a reason, the Ten Commandments are the absolute truth, and let’s stop worshiping the false gods of money, celebrity, politics, and social media.

Dr. Phil says "sayonara" to Rosie O'Donnell, Courtney Love, Ellen DeGeneres, and every shameful celebrity giving up on America rather than giving President Trump a fair chance.

Suicide touches every family, every community, and too often leaves loved ones with more questions than answers. Every 11 minutes, an American takes their own life. It’s the leading cause of death among our youth. Why is nobody listening when our children are screaming for help from the edge? In harrowing cases, children have reached a desperate breaking point, crying out for intervention—yet some schools remained silent and the adults in the room failed to act. How do these tragedies unfold, and what does it say about the systems meant to protect our youth? Dr. Phil will peel back the layers of a devastating failure and search for answers that might save many more lives.

Would you risk it all to expose the truth? Discover the extraordinary story of John Kiriakou.    Dr. Phil welcomes John Kiriakou, a former CIA counterterrorism officer and best-selling author, who sacrificed his freedom to expose one of the government’s darkest secrets. Kiriakou played a pivotal role in counterterrorism after 9/11 but made headlines when he revealed the CIA’s use of waterboarding, denouncing it as torture. This brave act led to his indictment under the Espionage Act—a law meant to punish spies—and landed him in prison for 23 months. In this thought-provoking episode, John shares his story, from his work in intelligence to his fight for transparency and ethical treatment of whistleblowers. As the recipient of the Joe A. Callaway Award for Civic Courage, Kiriakou reflects on the moral dilemmas of his career and the ongoing battle to champion human rights. With Dr. Phil, he explores the critical question: What happens when exposing the truth comes at the ultimate personal cost? Thank you to our sponsors!

You know the saying: it’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Well, what if someone gets shot? Across the country, high school seniors are diving headfirst into a nationwide craze called Senior Assassin—a “game” involving toy guns, secret missions and, sometimes, real-world consequences. From students leaping walls and dodging water balloons to 911 calls, armed civilians, and police pulling real triggers on toy-wielding teens, what’s meant to be harmless fun is spiraling into chaos. With cash prizes on the line and paranoia in the air, the line between game and danger is vanishing fast. "Senior Assassin"... fun until it’s not.
