I always considered “Dr. Phil” to be daytime trash tv, but after listening to an interview of him on Joe Rogan, I did a 180 on him. He’s very intelligent, thoughtful, and has common sense! I’d even say he’s a ‘conservative’ or at least an “honest” liberal like Joe.
He’s a very intelligent man, however since he was discovered by the Oprah, I’ve always suspected he was beholdened to her in regards to her politics.
My wife went for a time watching his show regularly.
I noticed a couple of things about the broken flawed messed up people and their situations he has on his show......99% of the time they are White people.
Only rarely are they Hispanic and even rarer are the black.
Other thing is, in all the shows I have watched his advice on how to correct a situation or behavior, never has he ever mentioned Faith as a way to cope and overcome......not once that I recall.
