Ex-FBI insiders expose how the Patriot Act fuels surveillance, government overreach, and AI-driven domestic spying. Here's the truth mainstream media won’t tell you.

In this At The Mic deep dive, I’m joined by former FBI insiders Steve Friend and George Hill to dissect the Patriot Act and its ongoing impact on American civil liberties. From surveillance to data collection, from redefining terrorism to enabling indefinite detention—this episode covers the harsh realities of a post-9/11 intelligence state.

We get brutally honest about National Security Letters, the FBI's transformation into a domestic intelligence agency, and how AI is accelerating government overreach. You'll hear firsthand why even past supporters now question the Act, how both political sides have kept it alive, and why whistleblowers risk it all to speak out. If you're passionate about freedom, privacy, or accountability, this is a must-watch.
