Dr. Phil made headlines recently for clashing with a Texas independence campaigner on his show. Daniel Miller, the president of the Texas Nationalist Movement, argued for Texas to secede from the U.S., citing issues with the federal government. Despite recent wins for Texan nationalists, Dr. Phil expressed skepticism about the feasibility of secession, pointing out the challenges of establishing a new nation.
McGraw and Miller debated the potential consequences of secession, with Miller suggesting a need for self-governance and Dr. Phil cautioning against reckless analogies comparing the federal government to authoritarian regimes. A survey showed a split among Texans on the issue, with 23% supporting secession and 67% preferring to remain part of the U.S.
