An Unthinkable Tragedy: Is Forgiveness Possible?

15 years ago, Butch wrote to Dr. Phil asking for help to confront the man who shot and killed his mother. Butch was only 12 years old when he witnessed his loving mother’s tragic death. The man responsible, was his own father, and although Butch had every reason to cut his mother’s killer out of his life, Butch refused to give up on the possibility of forgiveness and reconciliation with his father, which he ultimately did. Butch credits his conversation with Dr. Phil for repairing his relationship with his father before he sadly passed away. Butch returns to introduce Dr. Phil to Malachi, who says he is tormented by the shame and guilt regarding a tragic car accident that he caused, and resulted in the death of a mother to three boys.Envoy TV: https://www.envoytv.com/RELAXIUM® Sleep is backed by a 90-day guarantee, so you’ve got nothing to lose.

Dr. Phil continues to his conversation with Kristin, whose husband, Brian Brimager, is serving a 26-year sentence in a federal prison for the murder of a woman, a woman he had kept secret from Kristin. For nearly 15 years Kristin has stayed by Brian's side despite his arrest, media scrutiny, deception, and his guilty plea of murdering and dismembering his girlfriend, Yvonne Baldelli. Kristin says she understands that people are critical of her decision to remain married to Brian, but she says despite hating what he’s done, she loves him. Find out what Dr. Phil thinks of her decision to stay by Brian's side. Plus, Phil will also share how Yvonne's family feels about Kristin's support of the man who murder their daughter, sister, friend, and auntie.Envoy TV: https://www.envoytv.com/This episode is brought is brought to you by Preserve Gold, call 844-718-2642 or text PHIL to 50505 for your free wealth protection guide.Brought to you by SleepCreme: The foundation of health begins with sleep.

It’s been nearly 15 years since Yvonne Baldelli's disappearance first made headlines, tragically followed by her dismembered body being discovered in a Panamanian jungle, with the prime suspect being her Marine veteran boyfriend, Brian Brimager. Just 2 months before Yvonne disappeared, the couple had moved to a small Panamanian Island, in what was supposed to be a fresh start for their relationship. Prosecutors claimed Yvonne was murdered after she discovered Brian secretly making plans to return to California, to help raise his daughter with his ex-girlfriend, Kristin, a daughter Yvonne never knew existed. The alleged motive was that Brian murdered Yvonne to silence her, because his ex-girlfriend Kristin had no idea Yvonne even existed, and thought Brian was in Panama with his Marine friends. Approximately 2 weeks after Yvonne’s murder, Brian returned to California, moved in with Kristin, proposed, and married her later that month without Kristin knowing about Yvonne or her murder. Dr. Phil speaks with Kristin about the first time she learned about Yvonne, her disappearance, her husband's possible involvement, and why she chose to believe his innocence despite a trail of deceit and lies.

I have a message for anyone who thinks October 7th was Israel's fault: you are morally corrupt. And that same lie is now being taught in your child's classroom. Three years later, I sat down at the UN with Eliya Cohen, held hostage by Hamas for 505 days, and his wife, Ziv Abud, who survived the massacre. Their story is a victory. But here at home, a new wave of ideology in American schools is rewriting October 7th, erasing Jewish suffering and teaching kids that terrorism is "resistance." 71% of Jewish parents say their child has experienced or witnessed antisemitism at school. I'll show you how it's happening, who's funding it, and what you can do about it starting tonight. Nobody is born hating. Hate is taught. And if it can be taught, it can be stopped.Envoy TV: https://www.envoytv.com/This episode is brought is brought to you by Preserve Gold, call 844-718-2642 or text PHIL to 50505 for your free wealth protection guide.RELAXIUM® Sleep is backed by a 90-day guarantee, so you’ve got nothing to lose.

For years, military pilots have tracked objects that outfly anything we've built, and the government finally concedes they're real ... without saying what they are. Dr. Phil talks to Rep. Eric Burlison, who says he was pulled into a classified briefing describing a successful operation to lure these craft to a desert test range, and Jordan Flowers of the Disclosure Foundation, who says the declassified documents back it up. Two men chasing the same answer from opposite directions ... and one host asking the question underneath it all: can we trust what our government tells us?Envoy TV: https://www.envoytv.com/This episode is brought is brought to you by Preserve Gold, call 844-718-2642 or text PHIL to 50505 for your free wealth protection guide.HighLevel: If you own a small business, don’t skip this.

This past August, a multi-state settlement was announced, leaving Meta to pay billions of dollars to the 47 states involved. But not every state accepted Meta’s settlement. In fact, Florida Attorney General, James Uthmeier, outright rejected the settlement, and has refused to sign on. Attorney General Uthmeier has called the amount of the settlement, “peanuts” compared to the harm Meta's profit-driven addictive features have inflicted on children, and announced that he will see Meta in court to get the justice his state’s victims deserve. Dr. Phil sits down with Attorney General Uthmeier to learn more about he made the decision to reject the settlement. Dr. Phil will also discuss how Florida is working to protect children from the harmful effects of social media, including having passed the only outright age ban in the country.Envoy TV: https://www.envoytv.com/This episode is brought is brought to you by Preserve Gold, call 844-718-2642 or text PHIL to 50505 for your free wealth protection guide.Chapter compares every Medicare plan nationwide for free to recommend coverage based on your doctors, prescriptions, and budget.
