Tulsi Gabbard Resigns as DNI Amid Husband's Cancer Battle
"My husband Abraham has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle."
About this episode
In this episode of the Julian Dorey Podcast, hosts Julian Dorey and Joe Rogan dissect a tumultuous week in American politics dominated by Epstein network revelations, high-stakes primary defeats, and Big Tech's growing consolidation of power. The centerpiece is Tulsi Gabbard's resignation as Director of National Intelligence, announced June 30th due to her husband's rare bone cancer diagnosis, though Dorey argues she had been systematically marginalized for months after being excluded from Venezuela and Iran invasion planning rooms despite her longstanding opposition to regime change wars. The episode devotes extensive coverage to new closed-door testimony from Sarah Kellen, Jeffrey Epstein's alleged recruiter and unindicted co-conspirator, who named three men involved in the trafficking conspiracy: former Miami Beach mayor Philip Levine who introduced Clinton to Maxwell and appeared on 435 Epstein emails, stylist Frédéric Fekkai, and fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier who famously shot Trump and Melania. Reporter Tara Palmieri also revealed the FBI holds 40 terabytes of Epstein video despite Acting AG Todd Blanche claiming ignorance of abuse material. The show examines Thomas Massie's stunning primary defeat in Kentucky's most expensive House race ever, funded by $32 million from Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer, and John Paulson after Massie voted against Israel aid and pushed Epstein transparency. AIPAC openly celebrated replacing the outspoken detractor with a pro-Israel voice. Leaked audio exposed Peter Thiel advising VP JD Vance to ignore Pope Francis on ethical AI while calling the Pope an Antichrist tool, as new emails show Thiel's closer-than-disclosed Epstein ties. The episode closes with SpaceX's upcoming $1.5-2 trillion IPO featuring a clause granting Musk $750 billion in restricted shares only if he establishes a Mars colony of one million inhabitants, and an Ebola outbreak in Congo that has infected an American now quarantined in Germany.
