  • The Felony Footlong: Free Speech or Assault with A Sandwich?

    A D.C. man hurled a footlong Subway sandwich at a federal agent and now he faces a felony assault charge. What sounds like a late-night comedy skit is really a symptom of something far more serious.

  • How To Survive The CIA: Pardon, Prison & Surveillance

    Former CIA officer John Kiriakou reveals the true cost of exposing torture, legal battles, prison time, and life after whistleblowing.

    In Part Two of Dr. Phil's conversation with John Kiriakou, the former CIA officer who blew the whistle on torture, we dive deeper into the personal and political fallout of speaking truth to power. Kiriakou opens up about the realities of the Whistleblower Protection Act, the harsh consequences of challenging the CIA, and his time in federal prison. He and Dr. Phil also confront the rise of government surveillance and privacy concerns, and reflect on how U.S. policy shifted in the wake of 9/11.

    Now an advocate and author, Kiriakou shares what drives his work today and the lessons learned from paying the ultimate price for exposing hidden truths.

    👉 A gripping episode on courage, consequence, and the fight for accountability.

  • Why Free Speech Is Essential For Mental Health

    What if suppressing your voice was destroying your mental health? Dr. Phil and Dr. Chloe reveal why free speech may be the key to healing America.

    Dr. Phil sits down with clinical psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Chloe to explore how speech suppression, cancel culture, and emotional constipation are quietly fueling anxiety, depression, and division in America.

    Dr. Chloe's new book, Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly, argues that free expression isn't just a political issue, it's a mental health necessity. In this powerful and practical conversation, Dr. Chloe breaks down how self-censorship leads to stress, why open dialogue builds emotional strength, and what every parent, student, and leader needs to know to push back against the fear of saying the "wrong" thing.
