Massie RAGES At Trump DOJ, DEMANDS Investigations
Rep. Thomas Massie called on the DOJ to investigate Leon Black, Jes Staley and Leslie Wexner for their alleged involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.
- 16 minutes
But we don't see any charges, arrests
or investigations in the United States.
What do we see?
We see our FBI director celebrating in
the locker room at the Olympics overseas.
It's fine to be proud of this country, but
we should be proud of this country because
[00:00:16]
we have a system of justice that works.
Who are the men
that should be investigated?
I'll name them right here.
Congressman Thomas Massie engaged in
a fiery rebuke of the Justice Department
over their failure to investigate.
[00:00:32]
You know, some of the revelations
we've learned
over the release of the Epstein files.
Now he's about to reveal the three men
that he would like the DOJ to investigate.
But before we get to that, Jake,
your $0.02.
Yeah. Classic Thomas.
[00:00:48]
Classic Thomas Massie
with a great speech there.
Finally naming names.
Two of them. You might be familiar.
One, you might not.
But what is this going to lead to?
What is the next step from this?
We'll find out after Anna gives
you the facts in the speech.
[00:01:03]
Well, Massie calls him out
in this next clip.
Take a look.
Who are the men
that should be investigated?
I'll name them right here, Leon Black.
You don't even have to see
past the redactions to see that this man
needs to be investigated.
[00:01:19]
Jess Staley accused of terrible things.
It's right there in the files.
Why is he not being investigated?
And Leslie Wexner.
Why did the FBI list him
as a coconspirator in their own documents
[00:01:35]
in a child sex trafficking case,
and then tell him, according to him,
that they had no questions for him.
Now, look, one of the journalists
that's done incredible investigative
reporting on Jeffrey Epstein.
[00:01:51]
In fact, she published a book
about Jeffrey Epstein.
Her name is Whitney Webb.
She has just done her very first interview
since the release of The Epstein Files.
And she was interviewed
by a show called redacted.
And she talks about why she believes
Les Wexner will never be prosecuted.
[00:02:08]
She talks about his wealth,
his connections.
So please check in on that
because I highly recommend that interview.
But before we get to what we know
about the individuals named
by Massie Genk, any initial thoughts?
Yeah.
So he's not asking for them
to be arrested.
[00:02:24]
He's asking for the bare minimum.
Why didn't we investigate them?
If the FBI thinks
that Wexner is a coconspirator?
What would it take to investigate someone?
I mean, he coconspirator in the largest
pedophile ring that we know of in American
history with the most powerful men.
[00:02:41]
Why wouldn't that merit an investigation?
Right.
Leon Black,
we covered earlier on the program.
Some of the emails indicate
the most vicious rapes
of underage girls you'll ever see.
And that didn't merit an investigation.
Let's actually get to the details,
because I think it's important
[00:02:58]
for you guys to know.
Look, several weeks ago,
Congressman Ro Khanna
named some of the Coconspirator names
or at least individuals that investigators
believed were coconspirators.
And, you know, there's no evidence,
like with some of them, you know nothing
about them, and there's no evidence
that they've done anything wrong.
[00:03:14]
But in this case, the three individuals
that were laid out by Massey
certainly do have some
serious allegations against them.
So let's start with Leon Black, who's
the former CEO of Apollo Group management.
So he met Epstein back in 1994.
[00:03:30]
And then in the 20 tens, black hired
Epstein as a financial advisor.
The CEO of Apollo Global Management
hires Epstein as a financial advisor.
Right, right.
So black retired from his
investment firm, Apollo,
[00:03:46]
in July of 2021 after a review found
he paid Epstein $158 million for
financial advice between 2012 and 2017
after the Pedophile's criminal conviction,
which took place, took place in 2008.
[00:04:03]
Now, that advice spanned allegedly
all sorts of topics including taxes,
art, investments and payments
to Black's former mistress.
There appears to have been
far more sinister dimension, though,
to Black's relationship with Epstein.
[00:04:18]
So, for instance, black has been
repeatedly accused of rape and assault,
and Epstein is connected
to those alleged cases of abuse.
So Epstein arranged for black to meet
Sherry Pearson,
whom Epstein had paid for massages.
[00:04:34]
According to a lawsuit Pearson filed
years later and eventually withdrew.
She met Black at Epstein's townhouse,
where black allegedly raped her
in the massage room, the lawsuit said.
Black denied the claim
and said he had never met Pearson,
but Pearson wasn't the only person who
made allegations against him, by the way.
[00:04:52]
Lawyers working for the U.S.
Virgin Islands attorney general
interviewed at least two women who claimed
that they had been sexually abused
by black after Epstein introduced them.
There was the horrific diary
that we covered on this show in detail.
[00:05:07]
It was written by a 16 year old who is
autistic and has a form of down syndrome,
and she details
the Leon Black rape in her diary.
And we went over it entirely.
So anyway, go ahead, Jake.
Yeah, and he bit her genitals.
It's disgusting.
[00:05:25]
So you don't have to believe it.
You have to investigate it.
Right.
And there's credible
and not credible sources.
The non credible sources is Randall writes
in or calls the FBI and says a story
that's not that interesting and not
credible could be true, but less likely.
[00:05:40]
Then there are more credible sources
like people we know who are
who were victims and survivors,
and that was their account at the time.
Okay.
So that makes it two layers
of credibility to that.
Now, again, it doesn't mean
for sure that it's true.
That's why we have trials
and that's where we present evidence
[00:05:58]
and we do investigations.
But what's curious in this case is no,
the government says even though
there is overwhelming evidence here,
we won't even do an investigation.
And to give you a sense
of the The finances.
Guys like a top level finance guys
can take two and 20. What that means is,
[00:06:16]
2% of your overall wealth that they are,
investing for you if they're
handling your money and 20% of the profits
that they get you that year.
So that's already a giant number.
But no way does it get
to $158 million in a lump sum.
[00:06:32]
- Here you go for some general advice.
- For a guy.
Not a thing in finance, not a thing.
So if you know anything about finance,
you'd be like, ding ding ding ding.
- That's what I'm investigating.
- Yeah.
Remember Leon Black
was the CEO of Apollo, right?
[00:06:47]
What is Apollo?
Apollo is one of the largest,
funds there is in the whole world.
Leon Black
is an enormously savvy investor.
Come on.
He doesn't need Epstein
or anyone else's advice.
Those are some of the best
investors in the world.
Picture this. It's midnight.

full on, shop tight, but your wallet
is on the other side of the room.

There's more.
So, we also know that black, had been
[00:08:29]
paying millions of dollars to eight women,
three of whom were connected to Epstein.
Why? What was he paying them off for?
So, you know, there was the lawsuit
that was dropped.
Why was the lawsuit dropped?
Was it because the claims were made up?
Or is it because, you know, there was
a financial agreement behind the scenes?
[00:08:45]
We don't know, because the DOJ
is not interested in investigating this.
Now, when it comes to, Jess Staley,
back in 1999, Jess Staley was the chief
executive for JP morgan's private bank.
He was also part of a team that managed
money and investments for Jeffrey Epstein,
[00:09:05]
with whom he quickly developed
a fairly close personal relationship with.
Now, Epstein was one of JP
morgan's biggest clients.
Some officials at the organization
were a little suspicious of Epstein, to
say the least, and those suspicions only
ended up growing throughout the years.
[00:09:23]
But thanks to Jess Staley
as well as others at the bank,
JPMorgan kept doing business with Epstein.
So, for example, in 2006, Epstein
was arrested and indicted for soliciting
prostitution with a teenage girl.
Staley insists that he
discussed the situation
[00:09:40]
with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon,
though diamond has completely denied
that JPMorgan decided
to keep loaning money to Epstein with
the caveat of not proactively soliciting
new investment business from him.
By 2008, Epstein was facing lawsuits
from numerous victims, and in June
[00:09:58]
he pleaded guilty, or June of that year,
he pleaded guilty to soliciting sex
with with an underage person.
Now, even the rank and file staff
at JPMorgan's private bank division
wanted Epstein gone.
But even at that point,
Jeff Staley is like, no.
[00:10:15]
He made sure
that Epstein remained a client.
Why?
At one point, Epstein appears to have
helped Staley arrange a meeting with
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In March of 2011, for instance,
one JPMorgan employee wrote to Staley
and another high level executive.
[00:10:31]
Against all odds, we have been granted
a meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Staley forwarded the message
to Epstein and wrote, thanks to which
the convicted sex offender replied.
Surprise, surprise.
I mean, there's more connecting Staley
to Epstein that we can get into,
[00:10:49]
but any thoughts on that?
Yeah, so he says, against all odds, we
wound up having a meeting with the prime
minister of Israel that Epstein arranged.
It seems like Epstein can get
a meeting arranged
for anyone in the Israeli government.
Gee, I wonder why.
He probably works for the Russians.
[00:11:06]
And so I was rereading
one of the drop site news articles.
At one point, Epstein arranges a meeting
between the French president at the time,
Nicolas Sarkozy, the head
of the Rothschild bank, the former prime
minister of Israel and himself.
This guy could arrange a meeting
with almost anyone in the world.
[00:11:24]
He got a meeting with Putin
and Ehud Barak once.
He's arranging all sorts
of international, political deals.
Yet our government says
no connection to intelligence.
No, he's just a random citizen.
Random citizens are always arranging
dinners with the president of France
[00:11:41]
and the prime minister of Israel.
And every time,
it's for the benefit of Israel.
But it's just super random.
And our CIA can't tell.
And we're not allowed to ask
if he's Mossad.
Okay, I actually want to skip ahead
a little bit to Les Wexner.
[00:11:56]
Les Wexner, by the way, just recently
testified, I love it because he testified
in a deposition that was pushed for
by the House Oversight Committee,
I believe, and he didn't even travel
to the individuals questioning him.
[00:12:12]
They had to travel to Les Wexner.
So it kind of gives you a sense of,
who has the power in this whole situation.
But anyway, Wexner is a billionaire
who ran businesses like Victoria's Secret
and Bath and Body Works
and Abercrombie and Fitch.
I remember when Abercrombie and Fitch
was embroiled in a sex trafficking case.
[00:12:30]
Weird how that kind
of stuff kept happening.
Anyway, Epstein served as,
wexner's financial manager for 20 years.
Wexner handed over power of attorney
to Jeffrey Epstein, which is not something
that happens in usual situations.
[00:12:46]
And we still don't know exactly
why Wexner gave Epstein so much control
over his life and finances.
In a recent deposition, Wexner claimed
that he was conned by Epstein.
We don't need to watch it.
I don't need to hear
this grotesque man's lies.
But through the release of Epstein Files,
we learned that Wexner continued having a
[00:13:04]
relationship with Epstein, for far longer
than he admitted to in previous testimony.
Yeah, nobody hands over
their entire fortune.
What they do do is they have
what they call family offices.
And do they have people working for them
that help invest their money?
[00:13:22]
Absolutely.
Do they give them the power to do
whatever they want with the money?
Almost never.
Unless they have Alzheimer's or they've
lost their faculties for some reason.
Here. Wexner here we go again.
Oh, here's $1 billion.
Jeffrey Epstein
do whatever you like with it.
[00:13:38]
Our government looks at it
and goes, oh, that's normal.
But wait a minute.
The FBI actually didn't say it was normal.
He said they said he was a coconspirator
and somehow no investigation.
No. Guys, look, to me, it's super obvious.
And what's heartbreaking about it
is that apparently there isn't one patriot
[00:13:56]
inside the US government who's
willing to blow the whistle on these guys,
because somebody must have seen the tapes.
Even if they destroyed the tapes,
somebody must have seen him.
They were in all the rooms.
In all the houses.
Right.
Can I just go
to the very last graphic here?
Because I need everyone to understand
[00:14:12]
that this issue runs much deeper and as
horrific as a Child pedophile ring is
that that that alone is horrific enough.
This issue goes even deeper than that.
Okay, because get a load of this.
[00:14:30]
Les Wexner's relationship with Epstein
and Epstein's involvement in geopolitics
is worth talking about here
because, according to a report
published by drop site news,
Jeffrey Epstein helped Leslie Wexner
repurpose the CIA's Iran-Contra planes
[00:14:46]
from arms smuggling
to ship to shipping lingerie.
So this is the one I'm obsessed with.
And I keep talking
about this all the time.
Accidental tourists don't wind up
in the middle of the Iran-Contra affair.
Our CIA has known about Jeffrey Epstein
since the 1980s because they
[00:15:02]
he laundered the planes for them.
So there's no question 000. No question.
The American government knew about Epstein
for decades and not only didn't
do anything, but protected him and the
other predators he was working with.
[00:15:18]
So God bless Tom Massie
and Ro Khanna for exposing these guys.
And I know no one in our government
and no one in our national media
is on the side of the American people.
And so it feels like it's hopeless.
But look, guys, Khanna and Massie
got at least some of the files released,
[00:15:36]
and we found out so many things.
All the things we just told you about
came from the files.
So they did incredible work to do that.
And so now, of course, Israel panicked.
Netanyahu came over, talked to Trump again
right after he talked to Trump.
Trump came out and said, no more files.
[00:15:54]
No, they have the files
that we said we were going to give you.
They don't exist anymore. Right.
So yeah, they're going
to try to cover it up.
But we got to keep pushing
and pushing and pushing.
And if we're united, the American people
are stronger than even the powerful
[00:16:10]
that are running this country
and clearly don't care about us at all.
I mean, look, they've got money,
but we have people.
So keep that in mind.
Every time you ring the bell below,
an angel gets his wings.
Totally not true.
But it does keep you updated
on our live shows.
