EXCLUSIVE: Cannabis-Induced Psychosis: Bryn Spejcher Speaks Out
Dr. Phil sits down with Bryn Spejcher, convicted of stabbing her friend 108 times while in a Cannabis-Induced Psychosis. In an exclusive interview Dr. Phil delves into the harrowing tale of Bryn Spejcher, who in 2018 experienced what is known as Cannabis-Induced Psychosis.

Following a controversial trial in late 2023, Bryn was convicted of involuntary manslaughter but faced no jail time, ultimately getting three years’ probation instead. Marijuana is no longer the “harmless” plant so many people say it is, and Bryn’s story exemplifies the dangers.

Adderall And Other Stimulants: America’s Next "Opioid" Crisis?
America is facing a silent AND growing epidemic: the Adderall crisis. The use of this stimulant (and its generics) has exploded from 35.5 million prescriptions in 2019 to 45 million in 2022. But these numbers only scratch the surface. The DEA warns we're on the brink of our next drug crisis. America is facing a silent AND growing epidemic: the Adderall crisis. The use of this stimulant (and its generics), known by street names like A-Train, Addy, Amps, Christmas Trees, Co-Pilots, Lid Poppers, Smarties, Study Buddies, and Study Skittles has exploded from 35.5 million prescriptions in 2019 to 45 million in 2022. But these numbers only scratch the surface. A dangerous black market has emerged, flooding streets with counterfeit pills indistinguishable from the real thing. Users, often unaware, risk their lives with every dose. Even legitimate prescriptions carry significant dangers. The DEA warns we're on the brink of our next drug crisis. With 5-6 million Americans using Adderall without proper diagnosis and one in four teens in some schools abusing prescription stimulants, we're watching a new generation spiral into un-prescribed/unneeded use and addiction.

Oh Say Can You CCP We’re In Trouble?
The US faces alarming challenges with the Chinese Communist Party, including China's purchase of US land near military sites, growing control over agriculture, and harassment of some American citizens. Notably, over 80% of our medications' active ingredients are imported, largely from China, threatening national security. When it comes to the Chinese Communist Party – the United States could be singing an alarming new tune, "Oh say can you CCP... we’re in trouble?"

Robert Roberson: Execution On Hold
With his execution halted, will Robert Roberson finally have a chance at justice as new evidence, legislative allies, and a growing public outcry push for a retrial? Robert Roberson, who was set to be executed on October 17, 2024, for the 2002 death of his 2-year-old daughter Nikki, was granted a last-minute stay by the Texas Supreme Court. This unexpected reprieve followed a subpoena from Texas lawmakers requesting Roberson’s testimony before the House Criminal Justice Committee. Roberson’s conviction heavily relied on the now-disputed "shaken baby syndrome" diagnosis, but new evidence suggests Nikki’s death may have resulted from natural causes, like pneumonia. Both the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals previously declined to intervene, and the Supreme Court’s decision has sparked debate over the balance of power between Texas’s legislative and judicial branches. The case has drawn national attention, bolstered by support from Dr. Phil, who testified before the Texas Legislature on Roberson’s behalf. The debate has also reignited scrutiny of forensic evidence standards and Texas’s 2013 "junk science" law as lawmakers and courts reconsider Roberson’s fate. Dr. Phil speaks with Terre, a 2003 juror from Roberson’s trial who now believes in his innocence, stating she wasn’t presented with all the evidence. Roberson’s attorney, Gretchen Sween, insists that, despite opposition from the Attorney General’s office, he deserves a new trial. In support, Representatives Joe Moody (D), Lacey Hull (R), and Brian Harrison (R) have joined forces in a bipartisan coalition advocating for clemency and a retrial. Former Los Angeles prosecutor and news anchor Loni Coombs argues that if the Attorney General is confident in Roberson’s guilt, they should welcome a retrial to resolve lingering doubts once and for all.

From cats running on treadmills to monkey’s gambling, these are just some of the shocking ways the government is wasting YOUR money. Dr. Phil takes a hard-hitting look at the outrageous and often ludicrous spending of your tax dollars by our government. With national debt exceeding $34 trillion, the government's spending habits seem more reckless than ever, including $2.7 million on cats running on treadmills and $1.8 million on monkeys gambling. These examples are just a few of the questionable expenditures adding up to trillions of dollars, money that comes directly from the pockets of everyday Americans like you—small business owners, government employees, and hardworking citizens. Dr. Phil is joined by Tareka, a small business owner who says she needs money from the government to continue, but can’t get it, and Venisi, a three-time combat veteran who says that despite his service to the country he could not secure a loan for his small business.

Part 2: Smuggler’s Highway: Got-Aways At The Southern Border
Part 2: Dr. Phil goes to the Arizona and Texas borders looking for solutions. We are just a few days away from the 2024 election and there’s one topic that’s got everyone from Washington to Main Street talking…the border crisis. Both sides agree that work needs to be done to secure our southern border. Dr. Phil first heads to Arizona to find out why there is a super-highway for illegal crossings down there. It’s been nicknamed the "Smuggler's Highway" …right on Interstate 10, which runs through California and Arizona. It’s become the most popular route for smugglers from Mexico. But Sheriff’s deputies in Pinal County, say it isn’t just cartels smuggling migrants…it’s American teenagers. Right in the thick of it all, Sheriff Mark Lamb says the drugs and people being trafficked through this "highway" are ending up in cities all across America. In fiscal year 2023 alone, Arizona had more than 775,000 illegal border crossers. That's a whole lot of people slipping through the cracks. Sheriff Lamb tells Dr. Phil how he attempts to wrangle this situation. Plus Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels tells Dr. Phil that in the last 31 months, there have been 500 to 600 pursuits coming through his rural county. Dr. Phil talks to the Vice President of the Border Agent Council, Art Del Cueto, who says the media is not reporting much about Arizona’s border issues. Art says he has solutions if anyone would listen. And we head to Eagle Pass Texas where Dr. Phil spoke to several people working on the frontlines. He asked them THE hard questions that you won’t see anywhere else. And US Southern Border Expert, Jason Jones says human trafficking at the border is the largest US intelligence failure since 9-11.

Part 1: Smuggler’s Highway: Southern Border’s Escape Route
Dr. Phil goes on a drive-along with Sheriffs on Arizona’s “Smuggler’s Highway”. This border situation has become a political powder keg, with both sides of the aisle using it as ammunition in this upcoming election in just a few weeks. But tonight, we’re focusing on the Arizona border.

And sometimes, it ends tragically. Take the story of Wanda Sitoski. Her daughter, Valarie sits down with Dr. Phil to talk about how her mother’s life was cut short when a 16-year-old American smuggler running from the law crashed right into her…killing her instantly.

Dr. Phil Exclusive: Analysis - Eric Lynn on Iron Dome and Iran's Attack on Israel
In a revealing conversation with Dr. Phil, Eric Lynn, former Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Defense and national security expert, dissected Iran's recent assault on Israel, showcasing the power of Israel's formidable defense systems, particularly the Iron Dome he championed. The attack, featuring ballistic missiles and drones, faltered against Israel's multi-tiered defense architecture, demonstrating the efficacy of U.S.-assisted Israeli technology. Eric accentuates the intricacy of Israel's defense, encompassing the Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow systems, tailored to intercept threats at varying ranges and altitudes. He draws attention to the necessity for measured Israeli responses to deter future attacks without escalating tensions. The Iranian strike, deemed a strategic misstep, inadvertently galvanized international support for Israel rather than isolating it. Eric delved into the genesis and capabilities of the Iron Dome, lauding its role in thwarting Gaza rockets. He advocated for targeted responses to diminish Iranian military prowess while mitigating civilian casualties, averting further escalation. Both Eric and Dr. Phil concurred that Iran's assault failed to achieve its aims and potentially bolstered Israel's global standing.
