The Dr. Phil Podcast

What would you do if your daughter called you from jail and said " I killed him. He was beating me and I killed him.” Should she spend the rest of her life in prison? That question is not hypothetical. It is happening right now in every state in this country. Up to 95% of women behind bars were abuse victims before they ever set foot in a courtroom. More than 40 states have no legal mechanism to help them. None. Oklahoma tried to change that. In 2024, the state passed the Survivors’ Act... landmark legislation giving domestic violence victims who committed crimes as a result of their abuse a chance at a reduced sentence. It passed with near-unanimous support in one of the reddest states in America. One person has walked free. Dr. Phil sits down with survivor and advocate Audrey Prosper, the attorney who built the law from the ground up, and the DA who says he supports it ... and has opposed every case brought under it in his county. What happens in Oklahoma's courtrooms isn't just an Oklahoma story. It's a warning, and a blueprint, for the rest of the country.

They locked kids inside for two years. Now the bill is due. Teen takeovers are exploding, Tampa, Detroit, Houston, Milwaukee. 22 arrested at Curtis Hixon Park, some as young as 12. Cities are throwing curfews at the problem. It won't work, because nobody's asking WHY. The Real Story: teen hopelessness up 62%. A generation stripped of school, sports, and structure then handed a phone and an audience. This is the psychology of the mob, the fallout of lockdowns, and the one fix nobody's talking about. No excuses for the behavior. But if you don't understand the cause, you'll never stop it.

Part 2: Why do we keep repeating the same patterns even when they hurt us? In this episode, Stop Lying to Yourself examines the logic behind behavior: the beliefs, payoffs, and scripts that can quietly shape how we see ourselves, what we believe we deserve, and the choices we make. Viewers are challenged to assess actions by their results and thoughts by their rationality; identify the life chain, life script, and personal truth influencing their lives; and stop rewarding the behavior that keeps them stuck. Part 2 moves from insight to action, asking viewers to decide who they are on purpose, earn better by showing up differently, and take one courageous act of non-silence. The message is clear: you can respect others and still tell the truth and speaking up may be the first step toward finally living your own life.

As America marks 250 years, Dr. Phil challenges the narrative that our best days are behind us. Looking at the facts, not the headlines, he makes the case for informed patriotism. A conversation about progress, perspective, and personal responsibility. Happy Birthday, America. 🇺🇸
