Hi I appreciate you reaching me I always love hearing from you thank you!

When Did Dr. Phil Turn Woke?

Strangely, more times than not Dr. Phil seems to lean further and further left with his statements and perspectives. However, it seems disingenuous, because it’s difficult to draw some of those conclusions organically… especially with the overwhelmingly left-leaning guests he has on. It’s a bit disappointing…

I’m 33 years old and started at 15-16?
