Host: Joey Def, Julian Dorey
This episode is a freewheeling reaction show built around the latest Epstein files email dump, hosted by Julian Dorey with co-host Joey Def. Much of the early material is devoted to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who the hosts argue lied publicly about cutting ties with Epstein in 2005 only for emails to reveal ongoing contact, including a family trip to Little St. James in 2012. From there the conversation widens into a broader argument that the Epstein cover-up is bipartisan, spanning multiple administrations, and that public anger is being misdirected into left-right culture war fights rather than at a small, unaccountable financial and political elite. The hosts walk through Leon Black's finances, his father Eli Black's death, and his ties to Apollo Global Management, tying that into a colleague's documentary research connecting Apollo, Steve Bannon, Drexel Burnham Lambert, French banks, Robert Maxwell, and later Cambridge Analytica's use of psychological manipulation techniques. They also cover British political fallout involving Peter Mandelson and Prince Andrew, criticize Attorney General Pam Bondi's Congressional testimony, and revisit theories about Leslie Wexner as Epstein's original financier. The episode closes with speculation, explicitly flagged as unproven, about how Robert Maxwell's disappeared fortune may have funded Epstein's sudden wealth in 1992. Throughout, the hosts mix outrage, dark humor, and calls for cross-partisan pressure on elites.
