**Content Warning: The following episode features the story of a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein, references sexual assault, and may be triggering. Please take care.**

This week, Rick sits down with Jess Michaels, who is a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse, to expose not just the predator himself, but the powerful system that enabled him. As Jess tells her story of surviving the billionaire’s web of wealth, rot, and silence, the shadows of Epstein’s empire loom larger than ever. Ghislaine Maxwell has just been transferred to Fort Bryan under suspiciously tight secrecy. At the same time, Trump’s administration continues stonewalling the release of the Epstein files—burying evidence that could finally reveal who protected, funded, and joined Epstein in his crimes. In a country where the rich and powerful still shield predators, this conversation is a raw reminder of what it takes to survive, to fight, and to demand truth when the system was manipulated to cover it up.


Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie will co-host a press conference at the U.S. Capitol tomorrow, September 3rd, at 10:30 a.m. ET, joined by survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell—several of whom will speak publicly for the first time—as they push for the release of Epstein-related files. This bipartisan event advances their “Epstein Files Transparency Act” and a discharge petition aimed at forcing a House vote on fully unsealing the sealed documents.
