About this episode
What if the biggest threat to society isn't the government... but the fact that nobody knows what's true anymore? Politics has become a religion. Social media has turned outrage into entertainment. And according to Ian Wendt, that's exactly how the system wants it. In this explosive episode of Digital Social Hour, Ian Wendt joins Sean Kelly to discuss political tribalism, media manipulation, AI, censorship, government distrust, the Epstein files, social division, and why he believes society is being flooded with so much information that people can no longer separate truth from fiction.
