The Dr. Phil Podcast

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, that their opportunities are being stripped away to satisfy diversity quotas. So what is really happening? Tonight we explore DEI and its effects across society. Thank you to our sponsors: Beam: Visit https://ShopBeam.com/DrPhil and use code DRPHIL for up to 40% off.

Over 500 towns/cities with populations of 1K-200K disbanded policing 1972-2017. In the past 3 years more than a dozen PDs closed. Resignations up 47% in 2022. Many blame shortages on COVID & criticism of police after George Floyd's death. With crime rates on the rise and response times decreasing, the detrimental effects of understaffed and under-resourced police departments become starkly evident. We will uncover the root causes behind this crisis, shed light on the consequences of a weakened police force, and confront the harsh reality that a nation without a strong and effective law enforcement presence is a nation in peril. We will hear two personal stories of women who lost loved ones due to law enforcement shortages. We will also hear from law enforcement officers on how these shortages have impacted their careers and communities.

In a nation where tensions are running high and tempers are flaring, the escalating levels of anger in America today demand our urgent attention. We will shine a spotlight on the gripping stories of individuals caught in the crossfire of anger-fueled situations that have left lasting scars on their lives and delve into the minds of individuals who staunchly believe that their anger is a justified response to perceived injustices and frustrations. Tonight, compelling stories of anger that have led to death threats, CPS threats, and losing jobs. A bakery owner dealing with demanding, unruly customers, a bus driver of 15 years dealing with students who won't follow the rules and record her curse filled rant, a woman trying to cope with uncontrollable anger after having a child. But what happens when that "rage" gets behind the wheel? That's when things can turn deadly. Data from 2022 revealed that a person was SHOT and either injured or KILLED in a road rage incident every 16 hours! We'll meet two families all too familiar with that statistic who saw their lives forever changed when rage took aim on Texas interstates.

Dr. Phil speaks to two women who illustrate the importance of the Make America Healthy Again initiative, and the problems with diet and nutrition in our country. Both women say they came from poverty-stricken families and have never had healthy relationships with food- one woman has been diagnosed as obese since she was in elementary school, the other has a severe case of type 2 diabetes that she developed at age 25. Both of their children also suffer from chronic illness- and they live together as roommates. They've both been on a weight-loss journey in the past year and want advice and guidance on how to help themselves and their children.

Dr. Phil discusses a chronic illness epidemic sweeping the U.S. with Calley Means, of Truemed; Dr. Cate Shanahan, nutritionist; and Jillian Michaels, fitness expert. The health of American children is under attack- and its biggest threat is a basic need, food. Research is showing that ultra-processed foods are linked to the chronic illness epidemic that is sweeping our nation. More than 40% of school-aged children and adolescents have at least one chronic health condition, such as asthma, obesity, and behavior/learning problems. Less than 1% of children eat ideal meals. Ultra-processed foods currently make up nearly 60% of what a typical adult eats- and nearly 70% of what children eat. Dr. Phil speaks to Calley Means, co-founder of Truemed; Dr. Cate Shanahan, board-certified MD and nutritionist; and Jillian Michaels, a fitness expert and trainer to weigh-in on this uniquely American crisis.

Dr. Phil speaks with Sheriff Roy Boyd of Goliad County, Texas, a dedicated seventh-generation Texan with over 30 years of law enforcement experience. Sheriff Boyd has spearheaded groundbreaking initiatives like the Operation Lone Star Task Force, tackling the critical issues of open borders, human and drug trafficking, and the pervasive influence of cartels in Texas. In this episode, Sheriff Boyd opens up about the stark realities of living and working near the US-Mexico border. He shares harrowing accounts of cartel scouts brazenly passing by his home, raising serious safety concerns for his family. Boyd sheds light on the cartel's iron grip on border crossings, where they demand payments and mercilessly punish those attempting unauthorized passage. Dr. Phil and Roy also delves into the complexities of the cartel-controlled plaza system in Mexico, where government territories are unofficially leased to cartels, further complicating border security efforts. Their conversation navigates the sinister tactics employed by cartels to manipulate smuggling routes and adapt to enforcement measures, highlighting their relentless, profit-driven operations. Despite the heavy flow of illicit traffic, Sheriff Boyd's collaborative efforts with other law enforcement agencies have successfully reduced crime in Goliad County. He passionately advocates for policies aimed at deporting illegal immigrants to diminish the cartel's influence within the U.S. Dr. Phil notes an uplift in morale among border law enforcement since Border Czar Tom Homan's involvement, suggesting a more effective collaboration and crackdown on organized crime. With unwavering commitment and courageous endeavors, Sheriff Roy Boyd vows to protect his community and uphold justice against formidable odds.
