We’ll tackle one of the most heated debates in sports —should transgender athletes be allowed to compete in women’s sports?

The conflict over whether transgender athletes should be allowed to compete in women’s sports has sparked controversy in locker rooms, courtrooms, and even the White House. President Trump’s latest executive order is shaking up the rules, the battle lines are drawn even deeper. We’ll talk to a former college star athlete whose team lost when faced with a trans opponent, a transgender activist who believes it’s a transperson’s right to compete in sports that align with their new identity and a transwoman, against trans athletes participating in women’s sports who says she’s proof trans women have an advantage over biological women. This is more than just policy—it’s an urgent conversation about real people, real struggles, and the fight for understanding, respect, and fairness.

Do you ever feel like, no matter how hard you hustle, you can’t seem to get ahead financially? You’re not alone! In fact, 61% of Americans say they're living paycheck to paycheck. 40% withdrew from their already insufficient 401-Ks just to avoid losing their home. Oh, and speaking of that home, did you know that if you leave it for any real length of time that you run the risk of losing it outright to a squatter?! Yeah, you heard me right – someone else can move into YOUR home! And, once they’re in, you won’t believe what an absolute hassle it is to get them out. Let’s call it “The Hustle and The Hassle”.

Tonight, Dr. Phil focuses on a dangerous trend law enforcement calls a “street takeover,” where hundreds of young adults close down streets to perform reckless car stunts. Dr. Phil will speak with Cindi and Maria, who know first-hand how dangerous a street takeover can be. Maria says what started out as a fun night hosting a dinner party for friends, ended with her in a coma, and her loving fiancé Raymond, dead. Maria says while crossing the street she and Raymond were run over by a young man allegedly leaving a street takeover. Now, Maria is left to pick up the pieces while Raymond's sister, Cindi, fights for safer streets in honor of her late brother. Plus, Dr. Phil speaks with car enthusiast Eli, about how he is trying to stop this dangerous trend. Dr Phil will also speak Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar to discuss this trend from a law enforcement point of view. Dr. Phil will also speak with retired Child Cyber Crime Detective Rich Wistocki, for tips on how to report takeover crimes.

Part 2: On January 26th, 2011, Ellen Greenberg was found dead in her apartment with twenty stab wounds to her head, neck, and back, as well as eleven bruises in various stages of healing on her right arm, leg, and abdomen. The medical examiner initially ruled it a homicide, but after a secret meeting with police, he changed the cause of death to suicide. Ellen’s fiancé, Samuel Goldberg, alleged that he had gone down to the gym in their apartment building for 30-45 minutes and was unable to get back into their apartment. He called, texted, and yelled into the apartment before asking the building manager for help getting into the apartment, only to find out the door was latched from the inside. After an hour of this, Sam busted through the door and found Ellen’s body on the floor. He called 911, and then he moved on with his life. He’s now married with two children and is a sports TV producer. Ellen’s parents, Joshua and Sandee Greenberg, fought for justice for 14 years. Just this month of February, they settled two civil cases with the city of Philadelphia and remain devastated and angry over the mishandling of their only child’s death. The city of Philadelphia has also agreed the current medical examiner will reopen Ellen’s case and, look at the physical and medical evidence of her cause of death and draw their own conclusion. This type of challenge to the medical examiner is unprecedented in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania- and could change state law in the future. Attorney Guy D’Andrea, who personally investigated the case for the Philadelphia DA in 2015, will discuss the huge inconsistencies in the evidence he found at the crime scene and in the autopsy. Our very own Nancy Grace, who has been following the Greenberg’s case for months and is releasing a book about Ellen’s death, will also join to dissect the case and discuss the relationship she’s built with Joshua and Sandee along the way.
