1:02:36Now PlayingDr. Steven Hassan goes LIVE to break down NEW Epstein Files releases, DOJ redactions, Pam Bondi’s testimony, and the growing fight for transparency, plus MTG’s break with Trump, claims Congress was surveilled, and viral ICE crackdown footage in Minnesota.
In this livestream, Dr. Steven Hassan, author of The Cult of Trump and creator of the BITE Model, breaks down new developments surrounding the Epstein Files Transparency Act, including public outrage over major redactions and intensifying accusations of an Trump administration “cover-up.” With AG Pam Bondi’s February 11 House Oversight testimony exploding online, outrage is growing fast. Lawmakers and survivors want to know: Who’s deciding what gets hidden? Who gets access to the unredacted files? And why does this DOJ “release” still feel like it's hiding so much?
Now, while online speculation swirls about whether Hilary Clinton and former President Bill appear in the Epstein files, Hilary has accused the Trump administration of an Epstein Files “cover-up,” intensifying the backlash across social media.
This livestream will also cover the ongoing ICE crackdown in Minnesota, dramatic video and testimony continue spreading rapidly including renewed outrage after a Senate hearing featured footage tied to the shooting death of Alex Pretti, triggering fierce debate about ICE tactics and use of force.
Together, we’ll explore critical questions, including:
- What the newly released Epstein Files actually reveal and what redactions may be hiding
- Why DOJ transparency fights often become battles over power, secrecy, and control
- How political figures use “Epstein discourse” as a weapon for loyalty enforcement and narrative control
- How viral ICE raid footage spreads fear, compliance, and psychological destabilization
- What Minnesota’s crackdown shows about government force and media manipulation
- How cult psychology, undue influence, and authoritarian messaging distort public perception and accountability
