Episode overview

If YOU Think Kushner is a Shady Figure, You NEED To Watch This...

Julian Dorey Daily · 25 August 2026 · 1h 0m · 2 Egleze moments

What happened in this episode?

Julian Dorey and a co-host (“Joey De”) discuss allegations and reporting about Gulf sovereign wealth, US political influence, and the expansion of surveillance technology. Dorey cites journalist Henry Abbott while outlining claims that a Kushner-linked investment structure, “Thrive Eternal”, could help finance a mooted purchase of the Los Angeles Lakers, arguing the fund design could obscure who is providing capital and leave the NBA as a key vetting body. He also repeats an allegation that there is “credible analysis” linking Jeffrey Epstein’s efforts to building ties between the UAE and Israel with the later Abraham Accords.

A separate segment focuses on domestic surveillance. Dorey criticises Flock Safety camera deployments and describes a purported “leaked internal 2025 meeting” in which integrating licence-plate scanning into Uber and Lyft vehicles was discussed, presenting it as an example of surveillance capabilities expanding beyond traditional policing.

The episode also touches on claims about elite privilege and enforcement disparities, including discussion of a Stanford course reported by the Stanford Daily and allegations around a Phoebe Gates-linked start-up (presented as claims from other outlets). In a later segment, Dorey alleges the Trump and Steve Witkoff families are opening a Florida trust bank connected to a dollar-pegged digital asset, USD1, and argues it represents a conflict-of-interest and regulatory concern. Some material is framed explicitly as opinion or speculation and should be treated as unverified.

Host repeats claim Epstein efforts helped shape Kushner’s Abraham Accords diplomacy

at 4:05 · Attributed speaker claim

"There's credible analysis that Jared Kushner, so we're on Jared now, his signature diplomatic accomplishment, the Abraham Accords, were born of Epstein's sorted efforts to build a bridge between the Emirates and Israel."

Julian Dorey alleges, while discussing Jeffrey Epstein’s international contacts, that there is “credible analysis” linking Epstein’s efforts to outreach between the UAE and Israel which he says fed into the later Abraham Accords associated with Jared Kushner. He presents it as a lead from writer Henry Abbott and mentions additional alleged Epstein correspondence involving Gulf states, cryptocurrency and diplomacy.

Dorey alleges Trump and Witkoff families are opening Florida trust bank for stablecoin

at 40:05 · Attributed speaker claim

"The Trump and Wickoff families are opening a bank in Florida. The investors in this bank are undisclosed. It will not it will not have to follow FDIC rules."

Julian Dorey reads a social-media post and then excerpts he describes as charter language for a new Florida-based “national trust bank”, arguing it is designed to issue and manage reserves for a dollar-pegged crypto asset, USD1. He characterises the move as poor ethics and optics for a sitting president and an unelected envoy, and suggests it creates money-laundering and conflict-of-interest risks, while framing parts as speculation.
