The Dr. Phil Podcast

Dr. Phil is taken by NYC Mayor Eric Adams on an evening tour of the Herald Square and West 4th Street subway stations, where Hizzoner and McGraw explore the mayor’s PATH initiative, which provides resources to assist homeless and mentally ill individuals in leaving the streets. Dr. Phil and the Mayor, along with his dedicated response team, the NYPD and the initiative’s Sr. Advisor, also travel on the subway and to various locations to highlight the problem New York City is facing and how they’re attempting to fix it. The PATH initiative combines homelessness outreach professionals and law-enforcement. Follow along as they show how they have helped more than 1500 on house New Yorkers in the subway system and connected almost half of them to vital services.

Agenda, Activism, and Bias, are three words many claim are infiltrating mental health care due to therapists putting their own political ideologies before their patient’s needs. There is a growing concern by many who claim some mental health professionals and psychology professors have placed their own socio-political ideologies over what's best for their patients and the students entering the field. These same critics claim the bias has left many patients feeling the need to censor themselves or forgo much needed treatment altogether. Dr. Phil will speak with 18-year-old Claire, who claims her therapist crossed the line after subjecting her to a shocking political rant after her session ended, which forced her to sever ties with her therapist during a time she needed her the most. Dr. Phil will also speak with Dana, a mother who insists a therapist with a social justice agenda and clear bias against her, further drove a wedge between her and her daughter in only three sessions. Dr. Phil will also speak with Soad, a licensed therapist who says she requires all prospective clients to check her social media so they know she is a conservative who only deals in reality, and will challenge any non-fact-based position on social justice topics. Plus, Dr. Phil speaks with Megan, a licensed clinical counselor who says she's facing online cancel culture over her political social media posts. And, Dr. Phil will Dr. Hartz who is the founder of the Open Therapy Institute, an organization focused on removing bias from mental health care across the country.

Dr. Phil’s one-on-one with incoming Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman Dr. Phil sits down with Los Angeles’ new District Attorney, Nathan Hochman, a no-nonsense prosecutor with decades of experience. Known for his tough but balanced approach, Hochman is stepping into one of the most high-profile DA roles in the country. Unlike his predecessor, George Gascón, Hochman has promised a “hard middle” approach to crime—rejecting extreme policies on both ends of the spectrum. Backed by law enforcement heavyweights like Sheriff Robert Luna and LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell, Hochman isn’t afraid to shake things up. He opens up about his plans to prioritize public safety, hold dangerous offenders accountable, and restore trust in the DA’s office, all while steering clear of blanket policies that don’t work. Dr. Phil asks him about the Menendez Brothers’ future and his plans on mass deportations in his sanctuary city.
