Dr. Phil Primetime S2025E48 - Top Secrets: CIA Torture Whistleblower John Kiriakou

Dr. Phil speaks with former CIA officer and Whistleblower John Kiriakou—the man who blew the lid off the agency's harsh interrogation tactics and paid the price with prison time. Kiriakou doesn't hold back, diving into the moral battles, shocking truths, and the high cost of standing up for what's right. From his jaw-dropping claim—"I exposed the CIA and went to prison for it"—to his eerie revelation that "the CIA actively looks for people with sociopathic tendencies," he pulls back the curtain on the dark side of intelligence work. Dr. Phil and Kiriakou go deep, asking the tough questions: How far is too far in the name of national security? And what happens when doing the right thing comes at the ultimate price?
