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?

Spy For China Or Scapegoat? A Cop's Battle For Justice

Dr. Phil investigates the controversial case of Michael McMahon, a former police sergeant turned private investigator, now convicted of acting as an unregistered foreign agent. His wife, Emmy award-winning actress Martha Byrne, says the real story isn’t about espionage—it’s about government overreach and a justice system that turned her husband into a scapegoat. Congressman Pete Sessions, who reviewed the case and co-signed a letter to the judge, says Michael is innocent. And retired FBI agent Kevin Hecht, a Chinese counterintelligence expert, believes the government got it wrong. As Michael prepares to enter federal prison, Dr. Phil asks: Is this what justice looks like—or is there something far more dangerous at play?

Reclaiming Gotham’s Glory: From the Streets to City Hall

What does it really take to keep America’s biggest city from falling into chaos? Dr. Phil sits down with New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Kaz Daughtry for a no-holds-barred conversation about juvenile gangs, violent crime, and a justice system that’s letting criminals walk free. But it doesn’t stop there — they tackle the disturbing rise in antisemitism, from attacks on Jewish residents to hate-filled rhetoric on college campuses. With over 90,000 ghost cars and 20,000 illegal guns taken off the streets, this is a battle to save the soul of a city. Mayor Adams says, “This is Gotham… we need to be Batman.” Because if New York falls, what happens to the rest of the country? Special thanks to our sponsors! Support the brands that support us!
