Liberal Media Rooting For A Nuclear War Rather Than Trump | The REAL Story
Today’s Real Story is how so many on the left would rather see Trump fail than prevent a terrorist regime from starting a nuclear war. These so-called journalists are rooting for mission failure and against a ceasefire just to prove Trump wrong. One bumbling analyst even argued that Iranians don’t really mean it when they say “Death to America.”

The REAGAN Movie They Didn’t Want Made
What does it take to make a movie about one of America’s most controversial presidents in an industry that didn’t want it made? In this behind-the-scenes exclusive, Dr. Phil sits down with film producer and author Mark Joseph to discuss his new memoir "Making REAGAN" and unpack the untold journey behind the making of "Reagan" the movie, starring Dennis Quaid. From unreliable financiers and COVID shutdowns to navigating deep political divides and fraudsters who nearly tanked the project, Joseph shares the personal and professional chaos that came with telling Reagan’s story truthfully. He talks candidly about why Quaid was the only actor who could pull it off, how real-life Cold War threats inspired fictional KGB characters, and why Reagan’s flaws were the key to humanizing him on screen. Tune in and find out: Why Hollywood tried to bury the film—and how it survived. What Reagan’s son and inner circle really thought of the final cut. How personal loss, timing, and emotional maturity shaped Quaid’s performance. The business of biopics—and how to spot a fraud in the film industry.

Have We Lost the ADULT in ADULThood?
Dr. Phil explores the growing trend of young adults choosing to live with their parents—and the social consequences that come with it. He talks with a 24-year-old woman who defends living rent-free with her mother and a mother who believes sharing her home with her adult daughter sets her up for future success. The debate escalates when Dr. Phil brings in renowned podcaster Jennifer Cohen, who argues that parents who house their grown children may be holding them back from becoming capable, resilient adults. Later, a 27-year-old woman opens up about never having left home and reveals how the idea of venturing out alone triggers crippling anxiety.

Should Medical Aid In Dying Be Legalized?
Dr. Phil continues his exploration of the controversial issue of Medical Aid in Dying, in which a competent adult with a terminal illness receives a prescription for self-administered medication to end their life—legal in only 11 parts of the country. He speaks with Jessica Scarcella-Spanton, New York State Senator for the 23rd District, who says she fights to make Medical Aid in Dying legal in her state. He also speaks with Kim Callinan, President and CEO of Compassion and Choices, an organization dedicated to advocating for end-of-life options and helping implement medical aid in dying laws nationwide. The debate intensifies when Dr. Phil introduces Brian Johnston, author of Death As A Salesman: What’s Wrong With Assisted Suicide, who argues that Medical Aid in Dying does not help, but rather facilitates the suicide of vulnerable adults.

The Fight For The Right To Die
Dr. Phil takes on the controversial issue of Medical Aid in Dying, in which a competent adult with a terminal illness receives a prescription for self-administered medication to end their life—currently legal in only 11 parts of the country. He speaks with Meg, a 47-year-old woman living with chronic pain from a permanent spinal cord injury. Because she doesn’t qualify under existing laws, Meg shares her decision to medically end her life at a facility in Switzerland. Dr. Phil also hears from Meg’s best friend, Kelly, who insists on being by Meg’s side during her final moments. Plus, Dr. Phil meets Daren and Amy, parents who watched their vibrant 24-year-old daughter—a gifted ballet dancer—receive a terminal cancer diagnosis and endure unbearable pain. They say she wanted to pursue Medical Aid in Dying, but because it was illegal in their state, they were forced to watch her suffer until the end.

Never Again Is Now: Dr. Phil, Mayor Adams & Jewish Leaders
In a time of escalating antisemitic hate across the U.S. and around the world, New York City takes a bold step: Mayor Eric Adams formally adopts the IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) definition of antisemitism and urges the City Council to codify it into law. On this special Dr. Phil Primetime event, we confront the uncomfortable reality: Jewish families are being targeted, students are being harassed, and silence has become complicity. From the frontlines of campus chaos to city halls and synagogues, Dr. Phil and Mayor Adams bring together victims, advocates, and leaders to ask: Is America finally ready to define—and fight—antisemitism? Or are we watching history repeat itself in real time?
