The Dr. Phil Podcast
All Episodes
Tom Homan has spent more than 40 years in law enforcement.He didn't have to come back. But he did because he believes in the mission and the people carrying it out. When Dr. Phil sat down with him in January, a major story was just breaking. A lot has happened since. Homan was dispatched toMinneapolis to take control of a difficult situation, worked directly with local officials to bring things to a close, and has spent the months since navigating one of the most intense periods in the history of border enforcement. Through all of it, he has remained focused on one thing... the safety of the American people and the men and women putting their lives on the line every day to protect it. Dr. Phil gives him the space to speak for himself, talk about what he's learned, and share why, through all the noise, he believes the work matters.Thank you to our sponsors that made this episode possible:You Can Do It Foundation supports meaningful media that reflects faith, family, personal responsibility, and freedom.

Introducing Glenn Martens Takes Maison Margiela to Shanghai from The Run-Through with Vogue.Follow the show: The Run-Through with Vogue The Belgian designer Glenn Martens is surely one of the busiest men in fashion, holding Creative Director roles at both Maison Margiela and Diesel. Martens invited The Run-Through to Margiela’s Paris headquarters during fashion week to talk about his new collection that showed yesterday in Shanghai.Martens presented both his ready-to-wear and Artisanal couture collections together, accompanied by four exhibitions across China, each dedicated to a founding code of the house. The exhibitions will bring the brand's history to Chinese audiences, covering everything from the iconic “bianchetto” white painting tradition to the house's long philosophy of anonymity. “We love clothes and craftsmanship and garments,” Martens said. “We don't want to focus on the person wearing it."Martens unpacks the artistic vision behind his third collection for the house, which draws on porcelain dolls and Margiela's instinct for finding luxury in the overlooked. Martens’ team combed secondhand markets for 19th-century gowns and furniture, which were transformed through extraordinary techniques, including dresses dipped entirely in beeswax.Martens also reveals the secret weapon he used to win over the studio team in his first weeks on the job: his absolutely adorable border terrier, Murphy. "Everybody was smiling, the doors opened, people were screaming, playing around," he said. Murphy has since been gifted his own miniature lab coat.When it comes to sustaining the creative demands of running two major houses simultaneously, Martens credits countryside weekends as his saving grace — including a Christmas gift he bought himself: a bulldozer for planting trees. "I felt like a proper boy," he said.Looking at the big picture, Glenn wants to keep having fun. “At the end of the day… that's the reason why we started fashion: because it brings joy.”The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

Sheridan Gorman didn’t deserve to die. Her story deserves to be told. Police say the suspect, Jose Medina, opened fire without warning on the Chicago lakefront. And yet — this story didn’t dominate headlines.It didn’t lead the news cycle. In many places, it barely showed up at all. Why? Because those ICE raids — whether people agree with them or not — were meant to prevent exactly this kind of outcome. Sponsored by Preserve Gold. Don’t react — have a plan.

Braun Levi was an 18-year-old senior and standout tennis player at Loyola High School in California with a bright future ahead, including a planned college tennis career. On May 4, 2025, while walking with a friend in Manhattan Beach, he was struck and killed by a vehicle driven by a woman allegedly under the influence of alcohol and driving on a suspended license. The impact of his death rippled through his school, family, and community, sparking grief and calls for change. His parents later established the Live Like Braun Foundation to honor his legacy and raise awareness about the dangers of impaired driving. In early 2026, the woman accused in the crash pled not guilty to murder and other felony counts, with prosecutors alleging her blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit at the time of the collision. Braun’s story is one of a promising young life cut tragically short, and of a family channeling grief into advocacy and a broader push to prevent similar losses.Thank you to our sponsors for helping to make this episode happen:The You Can Do It Foundation supports meaningful media that reflects faith, family, personal responsibility, and freedom.

In the wake of a violent antisemitic attack on campus, DePaul student Michael Kaminsky and University of Chicago student Jake Rymer refused to stay silent. What began as fear and frustration over rising campus hostility after October 7 became a grassroots legislative movement. With no political power or institutional backing, the two students organized, educated, and lobbied city leaders -culminating in a unanimous 50–0 City Council vote making Chicago the largest American city to codify the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism into municipal law. As New York City rescinds its adoption of the same definition, this episode examines courage, institutional failure, bipartisan action, and what happens when the youngest voices in the room redraw the moral line against hate.Thank you to our sponsors who helped make this episode possible:The You Can Do It Foundation supports meaningful media that reflects faith, family, personal responsibility, and freedom.

What happens when you “tax the rich”… and the rich leave? In this episode of The Real Story, we break down Zohran Mamdani’s plan to raise taxes — and why the outcome may be the opposite of what people expect.Here’s the reality: New York has already lost more than $500 billion in income. Over 125,000 residents have moved to Florida, taking billions with them. And the top 1% still pays over 40% of all income taxes. So what happens if more of them leave? You don’t just lose the rich. You lose the revenue. You lose the jobs. You lose the businesses that support entire communities. That’s not theory. That’s already happening. This isn’t about politics. It’s about outcomes. Because when you drive out the people funding your economy—you don’t redistribute wealth…you reduce it. For everyone.Sponsored by: Preserve Gold: Don’t react — have a plan.

In this episode of The Real Story, Dr. Phil breaks down how Congress’ failure to pass a budget is impacting national security, from TSA and border protection to cyber defense and the Secret Service. With 260,000 Department of Homeland Security employees affected many working without pay — the consequences go far beyond long lines at the airport. Staffing shortages, burnout, and financial stress are hitting the very people responsible for keeping the country safe. This is bigger than politics. This is about national security and the real cost of leadership failure.Thank you to our sponsors: Preserve Gold - text "ASK PHIL" to 50505 and go to https://DrPhilGold.com/*Don’t wait!
