New Epstein Hunting Ground, Shiny ALIENS & Hantavirus | Julian Dorey • 420
Julian Dorey · 9 May 2026 · 1h 35m
Host: Joey Def, Julian Dorey
This is a news-roundup style conversation between the host and his co-host covering a string of stories that broke over the preceding week, mostly tied to the ongoing Epstein files fallout, plus several unrelated threads. They open with a personal anecdote about a police visit that turned out to be a fan delivery, then move into Epstein-adjacent material: a prison inmate who watched Epstein on suicide watch reversing his account back to a suicide conclusion in a TMZ interview, a leaked email suggesting Ghislaine Maxwell may be angling for clemency, an awkward public appearance by a Palm Beach figure nicknamed 'Palm Beach Pete,' and a Miami New Times investigation into the Cipriani restaurant chain as a recurring venue in Epstein's and Harvey Weinstein's social circles. They also cover reporting tying John Kerry to Epstein's network, and a closed-door congressional hearing where Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick reportedly backtracked on earlier claims about Epstein's blackmail operation, drawing criticism from Congressman Ro Khanna. Beyond Epstein, the hosts dismiss a Pentagon-released batch of UFO footage as unconvincing distraction, walk through a hantavirus scare aboard a cruise ship while cautioning against pandemic-style panic, and spend significant time on the backlash to a massive Utah AI data center project backed by Kevin O'Leary, including a clip of his response to community objections. They close with concerns about alleged insider trading around Iran war news and prediction markets.

“I found this note she wrote to her sister from prison back in October that hints at what Maxwell has.”
“Oh, now we know why his interview was not videotaped. If Donald Trump had seen the video transcript, he would have fired Howard Lutnick.”
“The wealthiest and most powerful men I've ever encountered, yet they feel utterly powerless to influence the digital future.”
