About this episode

John Regalado discusses the implications of the Epstein Transparency Act with guests Andrew and Marien, exploring political accountability and shifting loyalties.

John Regalado sits down with Andrew (Liberal) and Marien (Conservative) from Ro Khanna’s Epstein Files Surrounded debate to unpack the fallout. They revisit why the Epstein Transparency Act fell short, whether holding the “Epstein class” accountable has become empty political rhetoric, and if Marien’s loyalty to Trump has shifted at all.
