UAP Disclosure: Psychology of Government Secrets & Public Perception
As drones and covert operations raise questions about national security, Luis Elizondo and Bryce Zabel shed light on the growing transparency movement and ask the ultimate question: What does the government really know—and why isn’t it telling us? Former senior intelligence official and whistleblower Luis Elizondo and award-winning writer, producer and journalist Bryce Zabel expose the secrets hidden in government reports about Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), also known as UFOs. From the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) to legislation spearheaded by Chuck Schumer and Marco Rubio referencing 'non-human intelligence,' they both unravel explosive claims of recovered alien technology, biological specimens, and Navy pilot videos of seemingly impossible maneuvers.

Blindsided By Brutality
Dr. Phil Primetime confronts the harrowing reality of individuals whose lives are shattered in an instant by unexpected acts of brutality they never saw coming. This episode exposes a growing surge in unprovoked, violent attacks that have reached a breaking point in our society. The disturbing lack of respect for fellow humans, fueled by a breakdown in societal norms and the glorification of violence on social media, has pushed us to the edge. This epidemic of brutality is a societal fracture that demands urgent understanding of the psychology behind it if we are to reverse the damage and reclaim a sense of safety in our communities. Dr. Phil features three shocking incidents, a victim of Tesla terrorism in Northern California, a bride-to-be brutally assaulted by an ex-con during her bachelorette weekend in Dallas and a follow up - the aftermath of one woman’s brutal beating in 2022 in a New York subway station.

Alert! Trigger Warnings Don't Work
We take a deep dive into trigger warnings and how they are permeating our country. There are now warnings regarding movies, novels, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, museum exhibits and more. We take an inside look at policies at colleges and hear from Cornell students on whether it’s a good idea in the classroom to have warnings about immigration, racism, and violent crimes … including the student who sponsored a resolution to make them mandatory which did not pass. We analyze the current research on this issue, discuss all the words like spiders and blood that are considered too difficult to hear without a warning and hear two university professors debate whether students are too sensitive (critics call them “snowflake students”) or should be encouraged to hear trigger warnings for their mental health if a topic is too close to home.
