EP. #1267 Can I Say That? Dr. Chloe Carmichael on Free Speech, Fear, and the Psychology of Silence

In the wake of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination, America faces a terrifying question: Can I say that? Dr. Chloe Carmichael—a Columbia-trained clinical psychologist and USA Today bestselling author—joins Richard Syrett to expose how censorship and cancel culture are not protecting us but psychologically destroying us. In her new book, Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly, Dr. Chloe argues that silencing ideas breeds fear, anxiety, and fragility. Together, they explore why free speech isn’t just a political issue—it’s a psychological survival mechanism for a society on the brink.

GUEST: Dr. Chloe Carmichael, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist, Columbia University graduate, and USA Today bestselling author of Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly. A frequent guest on Dr. Phil and Ask Dr. Drew, she’s been featured at the Steamboat Institute Freedom Conference alongside Fox News anchor Bret Baier. Through her writing, research, and media appearances, Dr. Chloe champions the idea that free speech is essential not just to democracy—but to human mental health itself.
