Fauci GRILLED, “Iranian” Cyberattack & Casket Taps | Julian Dorey • 457

Julian Dorey · 1 Aug 2026 · 1h 7m

Host: Joey Def, Julian Dorey

This is a news-roundup episode where the host and his co-host work through a stack of current events rather than interviewing a single guest. They start with Anthony Fauci's Senate testimony, replaying clips of him repeatedly pleading the fifth in response to questions from Josh Hawley and Bernie Moreno, and discuss the broader fallout of pandemic-era censorship, including a replayed Stephen A. Smith clip apologizing to Kyrie Irving for past criticism over vaccine refusal. They move to the ongoing US-Iran conflict, mocking White House press messaging and playing clips of officials claiming the war is popular. A New York Times report on a suspected Iranian cyberattack on Minnesota water systems gets read and mocked at length. The hosts then dig into Lindsey Graham's death and funeral, playing footage of Trump's odd behavior at the casket and a leaked call between Graham and Netanyahu discussing undermining the ICC, tying this into a broader discussion of a leaked CIA assessment on Israel embedding itself into US institutions. Other threads include Jared Kushner's brother pursuing a stake in FIFA, a viral explainer on financialization of the US economy, Larry Ellison's comments on AI surveillance, and a deep dive into whether the panic around Flock surveillance cameras is itself an orchestrated distraction benefiting a competing company, Axon, with ties to Trump and Jeffrey Epstein's associates.
