58:30Now PlayingIn this explosive episode of The Influence Continuum with Dr. Steven Hassan, New York Times bestselling author Craig Unger joins us to reveal the hidden history of espionage, covert operations, and political manipulation that shaped American politics. Based on his latest book, Den of Spies: Reagan, Carter, and the Secret History of the Treason That Stole the White House, Unger uncovers how former CIA director William Casey orchestrated a covert intelligence network that sabotaged the 1980 election to secure Ronald Reagan’s victory.
Through gripping details, Unger explains how Casey, operating as a private citizen, engaged in covert deals with Iran to delay the release of American hostages, undermining President Jimmy Carter’s administration. The episode also dives into Casey’s ties with foreign intelligence, the manipulation of media, and the lasting implications for democracy and international relations.
Join Dr. Hassan and Unger as they connect the dots between past covert operations, intelligence maneuvers, and today’s political landscape, including Elon Musk's impact on social media and the rise of misinformation.
