Dr. Phil investigates the controversial case of Michael McMahon, a former police sergeant turned private investigator, now convicted of acting as an unregistered foreign agent. His wife, Emmy award-winning actress Martha Byrne, says the real story isn't about espionage—it's about government overreach and a justice system that turned her husband into a scapegoat. Congressman Pete Sessions, who reviewed the case and co-signed a letter to the judge, says Michael is innocent. And retired FBI agent Kevin Hecht, a Chinese counterintelligence expert, believes the government got it wrong. As Michael prepares to enter federal prison, Dr. Phil asks: Is this what justice looks like—or is there something far more dangerous at play?

Tonight, Dr. Phil discusses how AI is already fundamentally changing civilization as we know it and what to expect in the near future. First, Dr. Phil interviews 21-year-old AI CEO's Roy Lee and Neel Shanmugam who both left Columbia University to create software that allows anyone to cheat on their computer by being fed information from anything from job interviews to everyday conversations. They say they think people should use AI to "cheat" on everything, and if you don't, you will be left behind. Then, AI Safety Researcher, Dr. Roman Yampolskiy, explains why it's essential for the survival of humanity that we put safety protocols in place. Later, Dr. Phil is joined by CEO and Founder of AI company First Movers, Dr. Julia McCoy – and her clone - who explain why AI will give us infinite opportunities and is nothing to fear.
