Opening Context: Iran, Epstein & Distraction Tactics
(00:21)
- Julian opens with strong criticism of the Israeli government for pushing into an Iran war and spying on Trump’s peace communications.
- Expresses contempt for using war as a distraction:
"It is fucking great timing to start a Middle East war so that Twitter goes up in a bunch about everything that's happening while we got all these files floating around and while they're deleting a lot of files too. That's pretty crazy, right?" (10:50)
- Frames current global escalations as calculated distractions from the real story: the release of Epstein files.
Latest on Epstein Files & TV Investigation
(02:30)
- Julian teases a high-profile, secretive Epstein investigation filmed with CIA-affiliated Andy Bustamante. Admits he was "genuinely shell shocked" by revelations uncovered, especially by Bustamante—ordinarily a conspiracy skeptic—now turning the other way:
"I was stunned to see him go completely the opposite way ... I was sitting there genuinely stunned on camera ... my world has been turned upside down." (03:30–05:40)
- Hints the investigation focused on "Epstein’s connections and the abilities that that afforded him even at his lowest moments."
- Confirms detailed survivor and Chris Hansen interviews coming soon.
Fourth Turning Theory & Patterns in Crisis
(12:29)
- In-depth explanation of the "Fourth Turning" cyclical history theory (Strauss & Howe), organizing U.S. history into repeating 80–85-year generational cycles:
- Prophets (Boomers) → Nomads (Gen X) → Heroes (Millennials) → Artists (Gen Z).
- Each crisis: Rev. War (1780s), Civil War (1860s), WWII (1940s), NOW (2020s).
- Notable analysis:
"World War II took place ... 80 to 85 years later lands us smack right between 2020 and 2026, which is right where we are. Okay? This happens over and over and over again." (22:36)
- Frames current events (911, COVID, Ukraine, Gaza, escalating Iran war) as fulfillment of predicted crisis—capped off by Epstein's death.
- Quote:
"I theorized that Jeffrey Epstein is fucking Franz Ferdinand. That set off the whole kitten caboodle of things we’ve seen." (26:16)
Epstein as the "Franz Ferdinand" of Today
(26:10)
- Draws a direct analogy: Franz Ferdinand’s assassination led to world war; Epstein’s exposure/death catalyzed a cascade of destabilizing events.
- Shout-out to Eddie Bravo for 2024 podcast appearance predicting "world war would happen ... as a result of the elites getting exposed in the Epstein ... scandal and wanting to cover it up as a distraction."
- References the "supra government" hierarchy (Tucker Carlson’s term)—shadow layers of the world controlled by bankers/technocrats, above heads of state.
- Links spikes in wealth inequality, elite impunity (Epstein, Wexner, Clinton), and mounting global unrest.
Billionaire Class, Wealth Gap, & Elon Musk’s Connections
(34:11)
- Highlights Oxfam’s report on billionaire gains:
"The collective wealth of billionaires last year surged by $3.5 trillion, almost equivalent to the total wealth held by the bottom half of humanity, 4.1 billion people."
- Critiques Elon Musk for his hypocrisy on censorship and for not commenting on the Iran war despite vocalizing about Ukraine:
"As of the time of this recording ... I’ve not heard one word about this Iran war. Not one word. And that’s really interesting to me." (34:35)
- Points out verified email exchanges between Musk and Epstein; notes absence of Musk on Epstein’s island but insists Musk owes the public answers.
Clinton Depositions: Revelations, Lies, & Notable Moments
(40:00)
- Recaps recent depositions of Bill & Hillary Clinton regarding their ties to Epstein, for which they were conspicuously allowed to testify privately at their Chappaqua home.
- Skewers both parties for decades-long bipartisan cover-ups:
"[Dems.] only got on board when internal polling showed it would be a popular thing to do, which is just such a fucking ... indictment on Washington D.C. ... It's just expedient politically now for you to do it." (41:23)
- Plays and breaks down Bill Clinton’s deposition videos, highlighting his evasive, sometimes cocky, responses:
- On Ghislaine Maxwell:
"I felt closer to her ... because she was very good friends with Evelyn Rothschild and his wife Lynn, whom I knew and was in regular touch with." (51:42)
- Accusation about 'liking them young':
"First of all, that's not true." (referring to young/underage women) (55:04)
- On Ghislaine Maxwell:
- Notes the surreal optics:
"You would think the Clintons would ... hire ... any other attorney from New York ... Cheryl Mills is in the Epstein files ... talking with Ghislaine Maxwell." (44:15)
Hillary, Ghislaine Maxwell & Email Links
(44:15)
- Details on Cheryl Mills, longtime Clinton aide, caught in emails with Ghislaine Maxwell—evidence of social and professional closeness.
- Shows the hypocrisy and deception of the Clintons:
"She [Hillary] testified that she had no relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell ... called [her] a plus one ... Twitter investigators found out ... she would have known who the plus one was ..." (71:00)
- Pulls up images and emails tying the Clinton inner circle directly to Epstein and Maxwell.
Clinton Body Count, DOJ File Deletions & Zorro Ranch
(61:00)
-
Discusses "strange deaths" around the Clintons, such as aide Mark Middleton’s bizarre suicide by hanging and shotgun wound.
"[He] hanged himself from a tree while simultaneously taking a shotgun to his chest ... what an acrobatic way to leave this earth, if I may say so myself." (62:09)
- Exposes ongoing, systematic efforts to delete or withhold Epstein files.
- DOJ confirmed 47,635 files removed March 4, amidst Iran war media frenzy.
- On perjury potential:
"We got this all on record now and ... if evidence comes out that is directly against what they’re saying ... they would be charged with perjury." (72:34)
- Details on Zorro Ranch and other Clinton-Epstein connections, photographic evidence, and ongoing social media investigations.
Epstein Files, Media, & Continuing the Fight
(75:45)
- Julian promises to keep the pressure on, regardless of mainstream distractions:
"If we take our eye off the ball, this is what they want. … if we don’t, that’s what they want. … It’s going to require everyone else out there taking part in not letting something like this die and continuing to report on the information as we get it, which comes out like a log flume every day." (75:45–77:45)
- Announces upcoming in-depth episode with Henry Abbott (TrueHoop) on Epstein’s ties to the NBA and global finance.
Iran War, Israel's Role & US Foreign Policy
(82:45; full monologue up to 98:26)
- Julian pivots to a scathing critique of the US escalation in Iran, asserting the war is being waged at Israel’s behest, not US interests:
"The evidence is clear and it's always been clear that this is Israel's war. This is not our own war. There is no good evidence to the contrary ... this is a nation that ... pays 93 of our 100 senators lobbying money to say those exact words, sends them over to fucking Israel ... and goes to primary people like Thomas Massie when they dare step out of line ..."
- Breaks down the true power structure: how intelligence agencies (CIA, Mossad), shadow banking families (Rothschild), and supranational networks manipulate public policy and conflict.
- Acknowledges the horrors of the Iranian regime but warns against regime change and US military entanglement:
"Gaddafi was a bad guy in Libya, look what happened when we did that. Saddam Hussein was an awful guy in Iraq. ... that's what your intelligence operations do. ... They foment chaos. And in many ways that's the point."
- Emphasizes distinction between the Israeli government and Jewish people, denouncing rising anti-Semitism and stating solidarity with civilians everywhere.
- Closing bombshell:
"The Israelis were spying on the Trump administration’s communications with Iran where they’re trying to talk about peace. And Netanyahu called Trump reportedly to make sure he didn’t negotiate peace. Fuck you." (00:21 & 87:53)
- Memorable Quote—direct and personal warning:
"I'm not suicidal. I never have been. I love my life. Things are going great. I hope this war ends peacefully for all parties involved, including Israel, and I hope it ends quickly." (91:51)
Closing Thoughts & Host’s Final Appeals
(98:26)
- Julian reiterates commitment to truth, investigative journalism, and exposing cover-ups, regardless of risk or mainstream censorship.
- Calls on listeners and independent media to keep the story alive:
"I can control what I can control, but that ain’t much. It’s going to require everyone else out there taking part in not letting something like this die ..."
- Ends with a rallying cry to refuse distraction, document everything, and resist the normalization of elite impunity.
