My next guest Joe and Simone,
one Democrat,
the other Republican are siblings
who say they haven't seen each other
in person in two years
due to their different political beliefs.
(dramatic music)
Politics has come close
to destroying the relationship I have
with my sister Simone.
I love my brother Joe,
and we just don't see eye to eye when it comes to politics.
He believes in Biden and I think
that President Trump is the man of the hour.
My sister is on a steady diet of Fox News.
I watch Fox every day.
I would rather watch FOX than watch a movie.
I love Fox.
They're honest sincere people.
I feel that my sister has been brainwashed.
She drank the Kool-Aid.
I asked her how she could support someone
who is so reckless and dishonest
and she told me point blank he hasn't broken any laws.
I think all those little name callings
that President Trump puts together are kind
of very creative.
Like Pocahontas or Sleepy Joe.
It's game playing
but it doesn't hurt anyone. Growing up,
my impression of my sister was
that she was a liberal,
she had gay friends.
And this is a very close subject to my heart
because I'm a gay man.
My brother Joe,
he's homosexual.
And I think that part of his reason
for wanting to gravitate towards
a more progressive type of environment.
He is not open to other views.
He's really been indoctrinated by the media
that is so hateful against Trump.
This is my Trump mask and adore,
I love it,
because wherever I go,
people ask me oh where did you get that?
Donald Trump has no ethics or moral fiber.
When I heard the Access Hollywood tape
and they talked about grabbing women
by the (beeping).
I was shocked.
I've been around for a long time and guys will be guys.
If Dr. Phil can bring my brother
to the realization
that even if our politics are different,
we're still brother and sister.
The difference
in political views have damaged our relationship
to the point where I just want to have nothing
to do with her.
Joe how are you sir?
Great. Have a seat.
I'm shocked that we're here actually.
Well you've not seen your sister
for two years? Yep.
But you're seeing her now.
How does that feel? Well,
I love my sister.
Right.
How's it feel to see your brother after two years?
It's a little weird because I didn't realize
that we had this kind of problem.
It just didn't occur to me that you've taken it
to this level.
I mean it just doesn't seem like
the fact that we are brother and sister
and we've been together for so many years
and we've gone through our ups and downs I know.
But this is a totally different situation.
I mean it just,
I can't believe that I antagonize you so much.
It's not a matter
of antagonizing me.
I feel disappointed,
I feel betrayed.
I have,
I have to tell you a little bit about our history.
My mother had me when she was 47 years old.
My mother and sister are both Holocaust survivors.
My mother was starting a new family
and she almost lost her life giving birth to me.
So, as a baby I imprinted on my sister.
So I have these dreams where it's you
and it's mom and I wake up
and I'm confused.
I don't know,
was I dreaming about my mother or my sister?
And it's as if I woke up only
to find out that my mother was really a Nazi
or a Nazi sympathizer.
And my sister lives on a steady diet of Fox News.
I watch Fox News,
I watch CNN.
I feel like she's been brain washed.
