They threaten, scream, intimidate and even bite. They are not tantrum-throwing tots ... they are bullying dads! This is the Best of Dr. Phil, where we're bringing back the most requested and unforgettable stories from the Dr. Phil archives. We are confronting a disturbing reality inside some American homes: fathers and stepfathers who use fear, intimidation, and aggression to control their families, all in the name of teaching respect and responsibility. But there's a big difference between discipline and abuse. What happens to children who grow up afraid of the very people who are supposed to protect them?

Introducing The Persuasion Trick That Took Sales From 15% to 55% | Robert Cialdini from The School of Greatness. Follow the show: The School of Greatness Two small words and one pause cut a restaurant’s no-shows by 67%, and the science of persuasion behind that will change how you ask for things. Dr. Robert Cialdini, a research psychologist who wrote Influence: The New and Expanded Psychology of Persuasion, sat down with Lewis to walk through the seven principles he found after secretly training in sales programs. Lewis credits the book with turning his broke, couch-surfing years into a business that took off within months. Kids handed a balloon at the door led their parents to buy 25% more food, and asking “Do you support the Boy Scouts?” lifted popcorn sales from 15% to 55%. Cialdini shares why you should ask for advice instead of feedback, and why “Congratulations on your commitment” beats praising progress. He also gets honest about his own struggle to say praise out loud, a habit he picked up from parents who held it back. Now he makes himself say it, which costs nothing and changes the mood of any room he walks into. Your next email or sales pitch will look different after this, and so might your next hard talk with someone you love. Start by giving first and pointing to what is already true.

Jon Vaughn went from Big Ten Co‑Offensive Player of the Year at Michigan to a relentless voice for survivors after revealing he was sexually abused by team doctor Robert Anderson. In this episode, Jon sits down with Dr. Phil to connect his personal story to Michigan’s more recent sign‑stealing and coaching scandals, arguing that the real problem is a system that protects wins and reputations over human beings. Together, they dig into male and Black male survivorhood, institutional accountability, and how tools like Social Protect are trying to keep today’s athletes safer both on the field and online.

We tell our kids over and over: no means no. But yes doesn't always mean yes. We've completely lost sight of what sexual consent really means by confusing it with hugs from Grandpa, holding hands, and play-wrestling. Now the Cornell 7 lawsuit has the whole country talking. Seven fraternity brothers, one young woman, and a night that became a national scandal. It could happen on your child's campus next. Dr. Phil explains why we need to teach morality, not just consent. He explains how to raise a son who would never take part in an assault and would stop one if he saw it, and how to raise a daughter who is ready if she ever finds herself in a dangerous situation. He also explains why the first six weeks of freshman year are the danger zone. Not everyone will like what he says. Every parent needs to hear it.  Envoy TV: https://www.envoytv.com/ This episode is brought is brought to you by Preserve Gold, call 844-718-2642 or text PHIL to 50505 for your free wealth protection guide.

A deadly plane crash in Palm Beach has left nine people dead and raised urgent questions about what went wrong in the final moments of the flight. Dr. Phil is joined by Harold Katinszky, Commercial Aviation Expert & Collision Analyst to examine the Learjet 60 tragedy, analyzing flight data, air traffic control communications, and weather radar imagery for clues. Could severe thunderstorms, dangerous icing conditions, or a sudden loss of airspeed have contributed to the aircraft's fatal descent? As federal investigators work to determine the cause, Dr. Phil and Katinszky separate the available evidence from speculation, challenge unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, and examine the critical questions facing the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The investigation remains ongoing, and no official cause has been established.

15 years ago, Butch wrote to Dr. Phil asking for help to confront the man who shot and killed his mother. Butch was only 12 years old when he witnessed his loving mother’s tragic death. The man responsible, was his own father, and although Butch had every reason to cut his mother’s killer out of his life, Butch refused to give up on the possibility of forgiveness and reconciliation with his father, which he ultimately did. Butch credits his conversation with Dr. Phil for repairing his relationship with his father before he sadly passed away. Butch returns to introduce Dr. Phil to Malachi, who says he is tormented by the shame and guilt regarding a tragic car accident that he caused, and resulted in the death of a mother to three boys.

Dr. Phil continues to his conversation with Kristin, whose husband, Brian Brimager, is serving a 26-year sentence in a federal prison for the murder of a woman, a woman he had kept secret from Kristin. For nearly 15 years Kristin has stayed by Brian's side despite his arrest, media scrutiny, deception, and his guilty plea of murdering and dismembering his girlfriend, Yvonne Baldelli. Kristin says she understands that people are critical of her decision to remain married to Brian, but she says despite hating what he’s done, she loves him. Find out what Dr. Phil thinks of her decision to stay by Brian's side. Plus, Phil will also share how Yvonne's family feels about Kristin's support of the man who murder their daughter, sister, friend, and auntie.

It’s been nearly 15 years since Yvonne Baldelli's disappearance first made headlines, tragically followed by her dismembered body being discovered in a Panamanian jungle, with the prime suspect being her Marine veteran boyfriend, Brian Brimager. Just 2 months before Yvonne disappeared, the couple had moved to a small Panamanian Island, in what was supposed to be a fresh start for their relationship. Prosecutors claimed Yvonne was murdered after she discovered Brian secretly making plans to return to California, to help raise his daughter with his ex-girlfriend, Kristin, a daughter Yvonne never knew existed. The alleged motive was that Brian murdered Yvonne to silence her, because his ex-girlfriend Kristin had no idea Yvonne even existed, and thought Brian was in Panama with his Marine friends. Approximately 2 weeks after Yvonne’s murder, Brian returned to California, moved in with Kristin, proposed, and married her later that month without Kristin knowing about Yvonne or her murder. Dr. Phil speaks with Kristin about the first time she learned about Yvonne, her disappearance, her husband's possible involvement, and why she chose to believe his innocence despite a trail of deceit and lies.

I have a message for anyone who thinks October 7th was Israel's fault: you are morally corrupt. And that same lie is now being taught in your child's classroom. Three years later, I sat down at the UN with Eliya Cohen, held hostage by Hamas for 505 days, and his wife, Ziv Abud, who survived the massacre. Their story is a victory. But here at home, a new wave of ideology in American schools is rewriting October 7th, erasing Jewish suffering and teaching kids that terrorism is "resistance." 71% of Jewish parents say their child has experienced or witnessed antisemitism at school. I'll show you how it's happening, who's funding it, and what you can do about it starting tonight. Nobody is born hating. Hate is taught. And if it can be taught, it can be stopped.
