Dr. Phil’s one-on-one with incoming Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman Dr. Phil sits down with Los Angeles’ new District Attorney, Nathan Hochman, a no-nonsense prosecutor with decades of experience.
Known for his tough but balanced approach, Hochman is stepping into one of the most high-profile DA roles in the country. Unlike his predecessor, George Gascón, Hochman has promised a “hard middle” approach to crime—rejecting extreme policies on both ends of the spectrum. Backed by law enforcement heavyweights like Sheriff Robert Luna and LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell, Hochman isn’t afraid to shake things up. He opens up about his plans to prioritize public safety, hold dangerous offenders accountable, and restore trust in the DA’s office, all while steering clear of blanket policies that don’t work. Dr. Phil asks him about the Menendez Brothers’ future and his plans on mass deportations in his sanctuary city.
