Jared Kushner LIES, Trump Phone Calls & Roman Empire DATA CENTERS | Julian Dorey • 432

Julian Dorey · 6 Jun 2026 · 1h 38m

Host: Joey Def, Julian Dorey

This episode is a freewheeling co-hosted news roundup that moves through a string of loosely connected stories about power, money, and technology. The hosts start with reports of a heated Trump-Netanyahu phone call over the Iran conflict, question the legality of continued military action past the War Powers Resolution's 60-day limit, and cite a former CIA analyst's claim that Iran may be seeking a demonstrable nuclear weapon. From there they pivot to Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners investment fund, tracing its Saudi, Qatari, and Gulf funding, its exemption from standard financial reporting rules, and Kushner's repeated walk-backs of promises to stay out of politics, including a controversial luxury resort project on protected Albanian land and a Syria golf-course-for-sanctions-relief deal. Other threads include allegations against a former Trump administration ambassador figure tied to Jeffrey Epstein, a leaked audio clip alleging how Melania Trump met Donald Trump, Howard Lutnik's timed political donation ahead of his Epstein-related testimony, and a broader argument that America is following patterns associated with the decline of Rome, including widening wealth inequality. The second half turns to AI data centers: local environmental and electricity-access fights, a leaked report on Microsoft engineers being pulled off costly AI tools, Kevin O'Leary's tense exchange with Tucker Carlson over tax breaks, and comparisons to China's more restrained approach to AI-driven layoffs.

“Trump allegedly told Netanyahu, "You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this."”

“So Trump's telling one story. Uh BB's telling another story. Uh but uh in this case, I'd say I believe Trump.”
