Published Jan. 27 2025 11:29AM EST
A convicted criminal allegedly charged with sex crimes was spooked to see Dr. Phil after he was scooped during one of President Donald Trumps turbo-charged ICE raids.
The famous TV shrink embedded with U.S. immigration enforcement officers as they trolled the streets of Chicago and aired live on his streaming platform MeritTV over the weekend. Alongside Thomas D. Homan, the border czar for President Donald Trump recently appointed as ICE acting director, the group encountered a manwho appeared to be in his mid-thirtiesthat agreed to speak on camera.
Youve never been deported before? Dr. Phil asked the man, before a mumbled back and forth. Youre Dr. Phil?! the man later said in a moment of realization. You look like Dr. Phil. Yeah?! Dr. Phil responded, adding: How do you know me? The man, who said he was born in Thailand but is not a U.S. citizen, then said: I seen you on Dr. Phil.
Earlier in the conversation, the man said he had never been deported before and also refused to speak in any detail about his alleged crimes. Homan then revealed that he had been charged with sex crimes.

(1,278 posts)Dr Phil is streaming these encounters "live on his streaming platform MeritTV"...
Isn't this a violation of folks' civil rights???
How much is Dr P making off these streams??? How much is F47's kickback???
Did Dr P have to purchase a "hunting" license from the F47 administration???
Or are these "Dr Phil" encounters w/ illegals a complete sham, arranged for the photo ops??? Like the "Arrested" posters splashed on the White House X page??? How do we know these images aren't simply AI constructs??? Where's the documentation??? Show us some proof... Aren't "illegals" innocent until proven guilty + illegal???

(1,447 posts)The show Bull 🐂 was loosely based on Dr Phil's career as a jury consultant.
This tweet from a few years ago totally nails what Dr Phil is..

(36,394 posts)... trying to figure out who should be picked for jury duty, based on their careers, educational backgrounds and behavior. Even though I watched the show in its first season, I could never figure out what it actually had to do with Dr. Phil's daytime talk show. They seemed completely unrelated to me.
