Dr. Phil embarks on a critical journey to the Arizona-Mexico border, accompanied by newly appointed Border Czar Tom Homan. This visit comes as part of Dr. Phil's ongoing series exploring the realities and challenges of the southern border. Dr. Phil and Homan travel to the unfinished Arizona border wall where they meet up with the VP of the National Border Patrol Council, Art Del Cueto and discuss the crucial importance of collaboration between the federal government and state authorities. Homan also meets with key figures such as Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels, Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb, and other members of the National Sheriffs' Association. The discussion centers around Homan's plans to address the border crisis, particularly in Arizona, where border crimes have significantly increased the workload for local law enforcement. Homan, with over 30 years of experience in immigration enforcement, including his tenure as acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), shares insights into President-elect Donald Trump's agenda for illegal immigration and deportations. The episode sheds light on the staggering statistics of illegal crossings in Arizona, where local ranchers have reported hundreds of thousands of migrants trespassing on their properties. The visit underscores the urgency of the situation and why having a seasoned expert like Homan at the helm is seen as a positive step by local law enforcement. Through candid conversations and on-the-ground observations, Dr. Phil and Homan provide a comprehensive look at the challenges and potential solutions to the border crisis, setting the stage for a new era of cooperation and action in addressing one of America's most pressing issues.

Dr. Phil sits down with Hizzoner at the mayor’s historic residence, Gracie Mansion. The conversation covers critical topics, including Mayor Adams’ indictment, immigration challenges, and his efforts to address homelessness. In a candid exchange, McGraw asks Adams, “You’ve been indicted as a sitting mayor by a grand jury. Why do you think that happened?” Mayor Adams, replies that he believes it stems from him being vocal “during the migrants and asylum seekers issue.” “The only consolation to this,” Adams continues, “is that mommy’s not alive. I would not want my mother to watch me go through this.” Thank you to our sponsors: Jase Medical: Jase: com | https://jase.com | Promo Code: PHIL Beam: Visit https://ShopBeam.com/DrPhil and use code DRPHIL for up to 40% off.

With the election behind us, are we on a path to unity or stuck in the “Great Divide”? A Harris Poll found 77% of adults stressed about the nation's future. Tonight, we explore this divide—from secession talks to family conflicts—and how we can work to bridge it. Now that we have the Presidential election behind us… Do you think we are on a path to unity OR are we stuck in the “Great Divide”? The Harris Poll conducted a survey for the American Psychological Association right before the election. Of the adults they questioned, 77% said that the future of our nation was a significant source of stress in their lives. That’s a lot of stress! Tonight, a look at the “great divide” that we ALL need to work on closing – from those who want their states to secede to those who struggle with family conflict.

Are DEI initiatives the path to leveling the playing field, or have they become the very embodiment of the "reverse racism" they sought to eliminate? Critics argue that DEI policies are the Trojan horse of modern society, sneaking in new forms of discrimination under the guise of equality. As lawsuits pile up and the Supreme Court strikes down these initiatives, white men in particular are increasingly vocal about their fears. Many feel that DEI has made them targets, and that their opportunities are being stripped away to satisfy diversity quotas. What is really happening? We explore DEI and its effects across society.

Gen Z are growing increasingly disillusioned and pessimistic about the state of the world around them. A major multi-country study found that over 50% of young people believe that humanity is doomed. Gen Z or “Generation Doomer” witnessed the hope of obtaining their parents' and grandparents' American Dream lifestyles disappear after reaching adulthood. No wonder young people are angry, despondent, and hopeless. Young generations are cynical about their careers, the climate crisis, economic stability, interpersonal relationships, and the inability of their governments to govern effectively. Young professionals decry they work twice as hard as boomers and receive none of the benefits. Doomers aren’t even trying to hit milestones like homeownership- instead they’re doom-spending on outlandish travel and luxury goods. Many Doomers say they not only have no hope for the future- they can’t stop doom-scrolling about all of the atrocities in the world, creating a vicious cycle of emptiness.  On the other hand, futurists say we’ve faced eras of mass critical stress several times and humans have always evolved, adapted, and survived. For all we know, our lives in the future could be beyond our wildest dreams. The question we’re asking tonight is- are these Doomers just contributing to their own plight and downfall?

Dr. Phil takes the incoming “Border Czar” Tom Homan to the Arizona Border. Trump recently appointed Tom Homan as our “Border Czar” to help implement his vision on fixing our border crisis.

He also gained recognition for overseeing record deportations during the Obama administration, earning the Presidential Rank Award for his service. Dr. Phil takes Homan for the first time to see the Oletski Border Center in Arizona and to see a portion of the unfinished border wall.

Dr. Phil continues his conversation with Tom Homan, the newly appointed border czar under President Trump, about his extensive experience in law enforcement and immigration enforcement over three decades. They dive into the political motivations behind border policies, the operational control of cartels, and the multifaceted challenges to border security, including terrorism risks and the humanitarian plight of migrants. Homan’s perspectives—to many, controversial—connect deeply with his long-standing commitment to enforcing immigration laws, as well as his emotional investments in preventing human suffering. The discussion captures a complex narrative of national security, politics, and humanitarian ethics, contributing to ongoing debates around U.S. border policy and enforcement. Dr. Phil supports Homan’s dedication, applauding his transparency and the humanitarian concern for those affected by illegal border crossings. Throughout, the emphasis remains on securing borders to protect American citizens and migrants from harm. Whether you agree with his methods or not, there's no denying that Tom is a key player in the ongoing debate over border security.
