9/11 Victims Kids UNLOAD on Coverup & Tell Most GUT-WRENCHING Story You’ll Ever Hear…
Julian Dorey · 11 Sep 2026 · 3h 16m
Host: Joey Def, Julian Dorey
This conversation brings together two men who each lost their fathers, both of whom worked at Cantor Fitzgerald on the upper floors of the World Trade Center, on September 11, 2001. They walk through the day itself in granular detail: being kept in school without being told the truth, watching footage on television at home, a father's eerie premonition weeks before the attack, and the slow, bureaucratic process of identification that stretched from a wallet found within days to remains still being identified through genetic testing decades later. One guest describes years of obsessive research into news photography of people in the towers' windows, and the compulsive re-watching of footage as a way of trying to connect with what his father experienced. The conversation turns markedly darker when one guest discloses that a family member exploited his grief and fixation on 9/11 conspiracy material to groom and sexually abuse him as a young teenager, and traces how that abuse fed into a severe opioid and benzodiazepine addiction that nearly killed him before he got sober. Both men discuss parenthood, forgiveness, and what it means to carry grief decades later. The episode also moves into the unresolved lawsuit against Saudi Arabia, alleged government cover-ups, the LIV Golf sportswashing angle, and frustration that official accountability has never arrived.
