What Are Dr. Phil's Politics?

***

The largest online progressive news show in the world. Hosted by Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian. LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET.

The Young Turks are fearless in talking about the issues that matter. We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We cover politics, entertainment, sports, and pop culture; all through a progressive lens.

What does it mean to be a “Young Turk?”

According to the American Heritage Dictionary;
1. Young progressive or insurgent member of an institution, movement, or political party.
2. Young person who rebels against authority or societal expectations.

"Sharp-witted, persuasive, and inspiring, calling out toxic Republicans, politely-ineffectual Democrats, and mealy-mouthed media mavens in equal measure, JUSTICE IS COMING will give heart to Democrats and progressives who seek to change our politics and society for the better.

The media can’t stop talking about the gridlock in Washington, as if a handful of stubborn Republicans are the only thing standing between us and a fully-functional democracy. The reality is that our government has been taken over by big business and their allies in both political parties. The getaway driver in this heist was corporate media. The good news is that the American people are very progressive. And soon progressives will take over Washington as well! And when they do, the great majority of Americans will love it.

In JUSTICE IS COMING: How Progressives Are Going to Take Over the Country and America Is Going to Love It (On sale: September 19, 2023), The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur presents two ideas that counter everything we hear from pundits and politicians on a daily basis: one, progressives are correct on all issues, and two, America is actually a very progressive country. Millions of us know that we are a part of something larger, a movement that is already transforming Washington.

JUSTICE IS COMING, a compulsively readable manifesto, seeks to apply the momentum progressives have already built to a concrete progressive agenda that activists, voters, and citizens can all rally around. JUSTICE IS COMING looks beyond Trump to the larger historical forces that have given us this unique political moment, and explains why we should fight, how we should fight, and how we will win."

Thanks for having Dr. Phil on as it allows people to see where he stands - nowhere. He lacks the intestinal fortitude to be open and honest with TYT on his politics despite being psychologist.

[BeardOfRiker]

His politics are whatever gets him paid.

[mikechang]

"I don't know enough about politics to discuss it intelligently"
Ana: “I’m jealous of that.”
Oh jeez Ana

[drucilla]

You completely let him off the hook. He was allowed to play the " I'm just an old country boy and I don't know nuffin bout no politics" I call total Bullshit!! Anyone who saw his red evolution of the last years should not buy his nonsense. You had a unique opportunity to ask tough questions and you failed. He's spent the last few months felating RFK and 45. This was beyond softball.

[kevinpaul]

Dr. PHIL is full of crap on his point here

[Ulvaeus]

Dr. Phil playing dumb. Closet Trump supporter for sure. Just doesn’t want to admit it.

[matthewhiesiger]

I don't know how Cenk and Ana let him get away with so many non-answers. Particularly this one, where he claimed to not know anything about politics, while simultaneously answering like a politician.

[nigelsenchez]

If your an old man that had a talk show and interviewed Trump and say 'well i dont know enough about politics"
this is a cop out and a lie.
You do know about politics
Your just scared to argue your case.

[Poncho]

After his interview with Trump I lost all respect for the guy. He defended Trump the nut case

[dougjb]

As with all too many politicians today, his “politics” are “look at me! Buy my book! Watch my show” and they will say whatever it takes to keep cameras pointed at them.

[WaxPaper]

You shouldn't have even had this guy on, it's all just free advertising for his media company. He contributes nothing to the discourse.

[LeeLee]

He's a pretender as if he doesn't know about politics, but he sure does know who he supports and it's clearly Trump, DUH.

[tylerboley]

Wow, it’s almost like saying nothing at all!

[cdr]

He’s a Trump supporter- and he puts his foot in his mouth every time he publicly supports Trump.

[BigPunthecat]

Please never invite him again. He should have been pressed harder by the both of you. So many nonsensical metaphors to distract. I wish you would’ve called bullshit.

[roland]

Yeah, Dr. Phil is full of shit... You can't eat self esteem, and you can't use it to pay your bills.

[Alig]

Holy shit I am dumber for having sat through that waffle.

Why the fuck even come on TYT if you're gonna cop out on politics, it's literally what they do.

[adrenalinflow]

Disingenuous right-wing grifter speaking in vagueries and platitudes coated with a folksy affect. I heard a whole lot but at same time nothing of substance that I could walk away with

[BigPunthecat]

Might as well watched Fox News. So disappointed.

[DjEightNine]

Interviewing Dr. Phil is a huge waste of time.
