““Merit Street Media will be a resource of information and strategies to fight for America and its families, which are under a cultural ‘woke’ assault as never before,” McGraw said at the time. “I love this country and I believe family is the backbone of our society. Together we are going to stand strong and fight for the very soul and sanity of America and get things that matter back on track.”
I’m guessing, No media company, means no publicity space, means no help from Trump.
The My Pillow guy ruined himself arguing for the rigged 2020 conspiracy and once Fox and the other right wing outlets dropped him from their ad space and guest list, he became completely invisible to the MAGA’s in power.

So Dr. Phil, how’d that work out for you?! Bhad Bhabie has more cultural relevance than you.

The guy that exploited Americans on live TV for profit said he wants to fight for American families? With a motto to fight against woke culture and so he goes out and films immigration raids?

All these fuckers have hidden money problems. That’s why they do the MAGA puppet routine.
Remember Guiliani? America’s mayor Mister 911 who couldn’t afford veneers on his lowers while his uppers looked like Bugs Bunny? The guy who got cleaned out in the divorce? The guy who ended up hawking coffee on a virtual backdrop?
We’ll never know who started calling debts, but one can only imagine.

He’s not a Doctor, quit calling him one!

Exclusive footage of ICE goons conducting raids wasn’t enough to save Dr. Phil’s failure of a company.

So he is an even bigger exploitive asshole than he was before?

Isn’t it crazy how many poor schmucks have lost everything for no other reason than aligning with Cheetolini? MAGA is a cancer that destroys everything it touches.

Fuck that quack Phil, he got lucky being on Oprah or else he would have been a nobody. Years ago our company paid him to speak at our annual meeting. Guy was full of more shit than a manure wagon

How much did he embezzle?

I guess Dr Phil didn’t understand the difference between the orange menace and himself, nor understand the percentage of the US that actually makes up MAGA.
Just because trump appeals to maga and will get the Republican votes because they won’t vote blue does not mean the entire party wants to watch maga tv.
Talk radio can get away with it because it is relatively cheap to air your vitriol, but setting up a media company thinking you’ll make bank on a relatively small percentage of the MAGA population that will sit down to watch Dr Phil is hilariously ridiculous.
It couldn’t have happened to a better person.

“Following a two-decade run as a syndicated daytime talk show host, McGraw[ announced in late 2023](https://www.meritstreetmedia.com/press/merit-street-media-unveils-plans-to-become-one-of-the-most-widely-distributed-tv-networks-in-modern-history) that he was starting up his own multi-platform media company, which would include a cable television channel featuring a Dr. Phil primetime program as its flagship.”

““Merit Street Media will be a resource of information and strategies to fight for America and its families, which are under a cultural ‘woke’ assault as never before,” McGraw said at the time. “I love this country and I believe family is the backbone of our society. Together we are going to stand strong and fight for the very soul and sanity of America and get things that matter back on track.”
However, after officially launching in April 2024, the network soon found itself in financial turmoil. Just months after McGraw’s[ high-profile](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-dr-phil-interview-trial-b2558644.html) and [fawning primetime interview](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-dr-phil-interview-reactions-lies-b2558399.html) with Donald Trump, Merit Street [laid off roughly 40 employees](https://deadline.com/2024/08/dr-phil-mcgraw-merit-street-media-layoffs-1236038054/) in August of last year – representing about one-third of its total staff.
…
“McGraw, meanwhile, has [made headlines in recent months](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/dr-phil-chicago-trump-immigration-ice-b2687292.html) for embedding himself with ICE agents for raids amid the Trump administration’s immigration crackdowns in large American cities.
After [joining immigration enforcement](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/dr-phil-chicago-trump-immigration-ice-b2687292.html) for ride-alongs in Chicago in January, with footage of migrant arrests being used for content for Merit, the network [boasted](https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/09/media/dr-phil-mcgraw-ice-immigration-raids-los-angeles) that McGraw and his camera crew got a “first-hand look at the targeted operations” in Los Angeles that led to fiery protests and Trump mobilizing the National Guard.”
5 more bankruptcies an he can be president.
