During a radio interview on sunday night, President Donald Trump defended his comments saying he didnt see a need to clarify or explain his comments. Another stumbling block could await the Trump Administration later today when the senate votes on betsy devos and her confirmation as secretary of education. She is a staunch advocate for Charter Schools and voucher programs and two republicans have said they will not vote for her and that would leave the senate split with Vice President mike Vice President mike pence to break the tie but if others break party ranks, the confirmation vote could fail.

When the 21yearold and his 19 yearold brother finally arrived at Dulles Airport, they were greeted with a big hug from their father who lives in michigan. Im so glad and this is america, for everybody. I went to thank all the people who support us and who helped us and they maybe feel like it is a family here. Reporter the brothers are from yemen and spent a year and a half working to get their visas. The day President Donald Trump signed an executive orde muslim countries including yemen, their visas were canceled. Lawyers read the message out loud. He canceled applications withdrawn.

Phil show at 4 00, a followup interview with the woman who claimed she was pregnant with baby jesus. Yes, you heard this. Dr. Phil joins us for more on this admittedly peculiar story. Thank you for being with us. Its the second time haley was on your show and after the first time, she accepted your referral to treatment. What happened after that . Well, she did. She came the first time because her family was asking if she was a chronic liar and manipulator or was there more to this. Obviously, i felt like there was more to this because after i met her, it was clear to me that she delusional disorder and you are quite right, she did accept treatment and they made great inroads, got her stabilized on medication and she could differentiate reality from finance city from fantasy and gave up the believe she was pregnant with baby jesus and was discharged in much better shape. She is back today and it has all fallen apart. Shes back to where she was and it all is, in my opinion, because she saw a psychiatrist for a followup visit in her hometown that ignored everything the Treatment Team had worked with her for 60 days had done and after 20 minutes, changed her medical regimen and put her on all new medicines and gave her a new diagnosis and sent her spinning off and now she is back to being delusional, believes eminem and is eminem as her father and believes i am her uncle and struggles with these delusions.

Youve got to get educated so you can make informed decisions about how to support them and not enable them and become part of the solution rather than the problem. Her mother is being really good about this and so was her sister, and once they understood this was not a a bio thing and a psychological issue. All right, dr. Phil. We have to end it there.
