Political Violence: Justified or Just Wrong?

Tuesday, June 3, 2025

Season 1 | Episode 207

An in-depth discussion about why many Americans find using violence to solve political and societal issues justified.

It's been reported that the United States is seeing a sustained surge of political violence, including physical violence and vandalism against political leaders, federal judges, public officials, and those with an opposing ideology. But what may be most surprising is that many Americans find using violence to solve political and societal issues understandable and justified. In fact, Dr. Phil will speak with, Daisy, who is someone who claims not only can political violence sometimes be necessary for change, it can also be a logical response when people feel powerless. Dr. Phil will also speak with Paige, a young student who claims the alleged assault she endured at the hands of another student on her college campus was politically motivated. Plus, Dr. Phil will speak Kathy, a 70-year-old woman, who says her life changed forever when she claims a teenage boy physically attacked her while at a peaceful demonstration last year. Find out why Kathy says that alleged physical attack has kept her from participating in any type of activism.
