Outstanding episode with Dr. James Kimmel

Dr. Phil, thank you so very much for your excellent interview with Dr. James Kimmel about his work to identify the psycho-neurological origins of grievance and its connection to violence. His research, and your initiative to educate us about this phenomenon give me much-needed hope in these very challenging times. My deepest gratitude to both of you for your profound insight and compassion,
