19x50 - After the 2020 Election: Families Divided
November 20, 2020
The contentious 2020 presidential election has shown that there’s a clear divide in America – half the country is celebrating, and the other half is not – making the upcoming holiday season especially tricky to navigate. Instead of being a time of joy, celebration and giving thanks, many families are faced with the dilemma of how not to argue with their own spouses, children and parents about politics. Dr. Phil meets a Republican father, who is barely speaking to his Democrat daughter after an argument they had over Donald Trump. Then, Dr. Phil meets another father, a lifelong Democrat, who says he raised his son to be a free thinker … but never imagined that he’d support Trump! The election is officially over, but the drama remains. What’s Dr. Phil’s advice on how to move forward post-election without turning holiday dinners with family into a war zone over politics? Tune in!

Dr. Phil meets a family that says they are pushed to the edge by their youngest member: 13-year-old Jonelle, whose fits of rage and anger have resulted in kicking a hole in the kitchen wall, smashing a phone, and even being admitted to a mental health facility. Jonelle’s mother, Jennifer, reached out to Dr. Phil for help with her raging teen daughter, who she says is mourning the loss of her father who died suddenly last year. Dr. Phil analyzes video footage of Jonelle’s explosive rage at home to see what clues there are to help her find a calmer way to communicate. Also joining the conversation is Jonelle’s 19-year-old sister, Chloe, who says Jonelle’s anger attacks have left her in tears. Watch while Jonelle’s older sister Makenzie tells Dr. Phil that despite being Jonelle’s favorite, even she is not immune to her youngest sister’s volatile temper. Will Dr. Phil be able to help Jonelle curb her unbridled emotions?

November 25, 2020
Patricia was the first person serving a life sentence in prison who Governor Newsom granted an emergency compassionate release due to COVID-19. Today, at age 69, Patricia says she feels like she has missed out on so much of her life and blames her brother, Ishmael, who is seeing his sister for the first time on Dr. Phil. Patricia was tried and convicted of murdering her son, Quincey’s, father 24 years ago despite her continued insistence that she did not commit the crime. She claims Ishmael lied in court, which led to her conviction. But Ishmael says he never lied – he claims authorities twisted his words. Patricia’s grandson, Suge Knight Jr., the son of former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight, says he stands by his grandmother and makes a plea for prison reform.
