    Stick to patient steering
    Dr Phil’s podcast are nothing but paid advertising for the MAGA agenda. Only a self-admitted narcissist like him would condone the dismantling of our government. “Do you really believe a billionaire would steal?” Great question. Easily answered. Yes! As evidenced by the thousands of lawsuits against Trump initiated by small business owners he refused to pay despite the fact that they satisfied their contractual obligations. Maybe Phil could explain the psychopathy of that and stay the he’ll out of politics, an area he clearly does not understand.

    It takes a narcissist to know a narcissist
    —Early fan who became bored of the show but still remained disinterested and impartial until… I don’t look at the show anymore nor do I listen to the podcast since it is rarely edifying, unlike the Oprah show which was always profound. For some reason “The Media Thinks We’re Idiots,” popped up so I lstened to it. I found it discouraging and depressing (particularly with the markets plummeting, the very markets that control all of our pension funds). Phil’s defense of Trump and Musk is that they are too rich to be stupid. He asks rhetorically if we really think someone as rich as Musk needs to steal our personal information (he did steal it, his reasons are his own, but it remains a fact). One might apply the same logic to the fact that Trump has so many lawsuits against him that he would be served every single day for 11 years if all of his lawsuits were managed consecutively. The sad part is that many, many of those lawsuits are from young, economically modest entrpenuers and tradesmen who thought they hit it big when they got the Trump account only to find out that he never pays his bills. So Dr. Phil, why don’t you stay away from politics since you seem to be politically naive and stick to the thing you were hired to do. Explain to us the psychopathy of people who (allegedly) have BILLIONS and still feel the compulsion to lie, cheat and steal? You know very well that you are an influencer, but you’ve chosen to use your influence to support evil. It begs the question, what’s in it for you, Dr. Phil? Is it just the comfort of watching members of your tribe (narcissists) win?

    The Worse Not a Fan
    Phil McGraw has always had one goal in mind his own pocketbook and his decision to think he knows more about health and nutrition then actual Doctors who’ve spent years invested in to their knowledge on these subjects hypocrisy. Like he thinks Project 2025 is something we the people are interested in Nope. Phil yes Elon and Trump regime are doing just that trying to stop money to seniors and children and guess what they already have. You can cry all day about “the media” we have heard it all from the Trump regime and their worshippers you’re just one more. Now the TARIFFS which have NEVER SAVED THE USA ANY BIG MONEY EVER another bad sign for our people but yeah Good luck with that propoganda!!

    Disgusted
    I watched the Dr Phil show every day for years and thought he was wonderful! He destroyed all of that when I watched him supporting TRUMP 😡 I will never understand why he would do that and I will NEVER listen to DR PHIL again!!!
  • suzzigg
    Please help give a voice to these women
    Years ago you interviewed Marcus and Joanie Lamb on your show and allowed them to accuse these women of blackmail which ruined their careers and personal lives. You didn’t reach out to them at the time to check for truth to the story. They are now able to tell their story and I think it would be wonderful for you to do the right thing by these women.

    Obsessed after hearing you on Joe rogan podcast. It’s so refreshing to hear someone actually speaking truth and facts
  • Savvy by by
    You are a trump supporter after all you have implied over the years.
    Never will I defend or watch you again your review won’t let me dismiss all the stars or the last would be gone also. What a disappoint you are when you showed your true colors.
  • RuntasticGuy
    Great Podcast.
    Dr. Phil has great topics and guests and always allows the story to tell itself and let the listener decide. He gives his point of view in a very unbiased way. One of my favorite daily podcasts. Thanks.

    The Dr. Phil Podcast always keeps it real
    I love listening to your Dr. Phil Podcast! I appreciate you bringing attention to so many problems we have here in America, and that you never sugar coat it. You always deliver your episodes in intelligent, respectful ways when speaking. I’ve learned so much since I started listening, and can’t wait to learn more!

    Dr. Phil is a person with common sense! MAGA RULES

    Dr. Phil is bringing back common sense
    Growing up I had a sort of detached disdain for Dr. Phil. As a kid, we viewed him as just some nut job on TV trying to drum up drama for ratings ala Jerry Springer, Oprah, Maury, Ricky Lake, yada yada. As an adult, I naturally assumed he was going to be a left wing liberal, blindly supporting the narrative the Oprah and her illiberal and ignorant sheep that viewed her as some sort of Goddess. But time after time in the last few years, a period of history that will forever be known as a time of utter chaos and a lack of common sense, Dr. Phil kept spouting common sense truth everywhere I heard his name come up. So I looked into him and found this new podcast. I've been listening for several months now, and he's repeatedly hitting the targets/topics that concern ME as a citizen of the United States and also as a human being on planet earth. I want to personally thank him for his help in WNC and his coverage helping to open the eyes (or so I hope) of so many that actually believed our government was helping these people and they were all doing great now and we can move on as a country. NO. They need our help still to this very moment. They are living in tents this winter while I sit and listen to Dr. Phil podcasts while I work in the comfort of a heated office and we need the new media to continuously expose the truth until the government finally does step up in full force to help instead of trying to steal their land. He also has the courage to cover the CCP, who is actively trying to undermine our country. There's a risk associated with taking on topics like this and he isn't letting that stop him from voicing his concerns and beliefs (which largely seem to echo my own as a grown, common sense appreciating, adult male). Maybe Dr. Phil was alwyas this guy and as a kid I was too ignorant myself to understand the truth. But I'm glad he came back around and started his new media company and is out there doing the job he is now; a job all our main stream media should be covering and are not.

    Lost so much respect
    I’ve lost so much respect for Dr Phil over the years.
  • Awbrey New
    Love, and needed this
    I always loved Dr Phil, but with streaming services taking over, I forgot to tune in… for years. Stumbled across this podcast, at a perfect time in my life. His no nonsense advice has always resonated with me, and this podcast, Living by Design specifically, is the best format to get your dose of dr Phil!
  • Cyn2422
    Phil is a Misogynist Trump Sycophant
    I finally saw Dr Phil for the misogynistic Trump sycophant he truly is this past election. I will NEVER have ANY respect for this JERK again!!
  • Chicoartist
    So much wisdom!
    A national treasure. Thanks!

    What’s happening?
    The Dana interview won’t play. The Robert Roberson cuts off during the panel discussion. This isn’t the quality we normally receive from his production team. It’s unfortunate.
  • RickDC37
    Sexual assault
    I find it horrifying that a so called doctor who supported a man guilty of sexual assault for president is now going to do a show about sexual assault.
  • Jonesy8888
    So glad he’s doing this!
    Even better in podcast form!

    Disappointing Experience with Dr. Phil's
    I had high expectations Dr. Phil's, but unfortunately, I left feeling disappointed by him. I will no longer support him. While the show often tackles important social and psychological issues, it seems more focused on sensationalism than providing meaningful solutions. Dr. Phil, who is often portrayed as a no-nonsense, straight-talking professional, comes across more as a TV personality than a genuine therapist at times. Many of the episodes feel scripted, and rather than addressing deep-rooted problems, they seem to exploit people’s vulnerabilities for entertainment value. The solutions offered feel surface-level, and at times, the interactions seem more about creating dramatic moments for ratings than offering real help. While Dr. Phil has a large following, I am disappointed by his endorsement. It seems like wealthy men often stick together and exploit the vulnerable.
  • You Are Misperceiving
    All of you people are WRONG
    Dr. Phil IS a good man. Donald Trump IS a great an wonderful man that is truly working for the world, the US and all of its citizens. stop blasting these men and especially President yes I said President Trump. You all need to get a clue as to who the black hearted people REALLY are in this country. You’ve completely got it wrong. All of your attitudes are why this country almost went down the drain. wait til you see what President Trump can and will do.

    Disappointed in Michigan
    I am been an avid Dr Phil fan for many years. Watching as often as I could. But to know you support racism, misogyny, narcissistic behavior and all else that goes along with what we KNOW Trump to be, I respectfully bow out of any further viewing or following of your television show or podcasts.
  • Narc detector
    What a surprise.
    Was shocked that you were behind Trump. Thank you so much. Can see by your content that you love your county.
  • IzzyBab
    WOW
    Unbelievable… I’m so embarrassed that I was such a fan of yours. All the things you preach about. Maybe you should go back and review the things you’ve said over the years. As you’ve said “When someone tells you who they are… believe them “ What was the price you were paid to sell your soul!! Just saying!!
  • MissLissyLoo
    Disgrace
    The fact that you fully support and are a mouth piece for Trump is despicable. You’re co-signing racism, rape, homophobia, xenophobia, misogyny, etc. How’s is you black heart and ugly spirit working out for you?
  • Wickitoot
    Your biggest fan so disappointed
    I have probably seen every episode of The Dr. Phil show. I have never been so disappointed in my life. That you could even say that Trump is not a bully but instead a GOOD communicator! A crooked, lying man who has done irreparable damage to this country. A man who has a whole country on pins and needles that he might be elected. Have you lost your mind? So,so disappointed. I am at a loss watching you all these years try to teach us to live a healthy life. I am done with you. I am sure you won’t miss me
  • Christielove1
    Onboard amen!
    I prayed that Dr. Phil would become engaged and our top reporter for “truth” and he did. He tried to resist but had to step to save America and humanity - God Bless!!

    Mom Under Suspicion
    Waiting to see “Mom Under Suspicion Part 2. Should have been on October 31, 2024 but something else was on. We are all waiting for final episode. Thank you Dr. Phil. We live watching your show.
  • Kelikini
    Thank you Dr. Phil!
    Always loved your even tempered common sense approach to life!

    Let me out
    How do I delete this podcast from my feed? His behavior at Madison Square Garden destroys all respect I had for him.

    Never knew he was a racist bastard
  • Rego Park
    Shame
    Speaking at a rally that promotes hate speech and division. You should know better. You have no integrity or self respect.
  • New to Amp
    I was fooled
    I remember hearing you talk about how you decided on a show topic with your son’s words in mind, “If this was the only show you ever did, would you be proud of it?” I can’t imagine in your soul that you or anyone in your circle can be proud of being part of the racist, misogynistic, and crude rhetoric that went on at Madison Square Garden. Past behaviors are a good indication of what future holds as you have preached on many occasions. I’m out.
  • East Coast Erica
    Hypocrite
    He is on the trail with Trump. He may say he’s not racist, but he’s tolerating and supporting it. After years of being a huge fan, I am disgusted and disappointed. Unfollowing 100%
  • pinacoloda
    HYPOCRITE!!
    The fact that you would attend a Trump rally!! After all the years, you peddled kindness, and accepting people of different walks of life and love and understanding!! ! You are a total hypocrite and a sham!!!
  • Markos9023
    Attentive
    Great show !! Thanks for listening people's opinions
  • ShellyB3456
    So disappointed
    I used to have a lot of respect for you. You are so obviously biased in how you have handled all political interviews this cycle. Many of my friends, also former Dr Phil fans agree. I will no longer will be following you, and will be encouraging others to follow suit. I’m so disappointed.
  • Sookie702lv
    Wow. ! Every pancake had 2 sides
    I have been a Dr Phil fan since the first day OPRAH gave him his platform. Never did I think he would endorse a man who intentionally spreads hate - lies . Dr Phil clearly is not the role model I have always thought he was . Disappointed is a understatement !
  • C.K. Wick
    Respect
    I had such a great deal of respect for Dr. Phil until the he gave Trump a platform to ultimately campaign on his show twice! He vowed to ask the hard questions and they never came. I understand he’s reached out all on the ticket. Having him on a second time shows bias. Naturally, this is all my opinion, but I can spot a liar and manipulator when I see one so I can’t imagine it escaped Dr. Phil. A follow up fact check I think is important. I’m so disappointed.
  • MN DrPhilfan4yrs
    Talk about bias!
    I have been a Dr Phil fan forever! I am so disappointed ! Dr Phil’s obvious favor of former President Trump is frustrating in this and other Phil in the Blank podcasts that I have listened to. In this, an episode that was supposed to be a unbiased look at the debate. Your questions to the audience were more slanted than anything the moderators did during the debate. You made no mention of the horrible lies Trump spewed about Springfield Ohio legal immigrants and his ridiculous comments about them eating cats and dogs!! It didn’t even make your list of things to ask your audience about! I wonder why you did not ask for their reaction to his comments about that and/or talk about his body language at that moment. I was looking forward to an in-depth conversation about the subject of the debate. Your opinion was obvious and no one is wondering who you are supporting in this election. It’s certainly your right, but I could respect it if you just come out and endorse him rather than pretend to be unbiased. Very disappointed in someone I have highly respect and quoted your words of advice for years!

    Political Mess
    Trump bashing Kamala with only meeting her for the first time is such a poor model of an individual. He doesn’t like anyone but his own blood. He expresses himself in such a negative way. One of the things we try and teach our children is to not express hate. There are few Americans he likes. I’d like him to mention which president he liked within the past 30yrs. He should leave the country and go and run his own island. He’s such a bully and never has anything good to say but only dividing everyone. He prefers war, that’s why he’s been divorced so many times.
  • Cara Mell
    Tell both sides.
    I’m highly disappointed in your podcasts. There are two sides to every story. Like one of your favorite quotes,”no matter how flat the pancake, it has two sides. Why aren’t you presenting both sides.
  • Jmiller2020
    Thank you for having Trump
    I love hearing this side of Trump. Not just campaigning (there’s obviously that) but having a conversation with you. Thank you Dr. Phil. I greatly appreciate everything you and Robin are doing.
