Mega Edition: Leon Black Attempts To Put Some Distance Between Himself And Epstein (6/11/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

0:00
Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Jeffrey Epstein Show. I'm
0:04
your host, Bobby Capucci, and this is a morning update. Hey,
0:10
what's going on everybody? So the Leon Black situation continues
0:15
to escalate. Now, we've already talked about how he has
0:20
stepped down and how there was a boardroom blow up
0:27
between him and one of the co founders of Apollo Global,
0:32
Joshua Harris, and all of that hinged on Leon Black's
0:38
relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and the fact that he was
0:42
not being truthful about how much money he gave to
0:48
Jeffrey Epstein, how much money he supposedly paid to Jeffrey Epstein,
0:52
and he certainly wasn't being truthful about the extent of
0:57
their relationship, and that has now been put on blast.
1:04
The fact that he was being dishonest about his relationship
1:10
with Epstein from the very beginning has led him to
1:14
the point where he is now no longer the CEO
1:18
of Apollo Global. Now he is still chairman of the board, right,
1:24
but the question is for how much longer, And in
1:30
my estimation it can't be for much longer. I would
1:33
think that Leon Black is going to be completely forced
1:38
out in the foreseeable future by partner Joshua Harris, and
1:45
as more information becomes available about Leon Black and his
1:50
relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, I think that you're going to
1:54
see the pressure just ramp up, and eventually he's going
1:57
to just be way too toxic to be kept around
2:00
in any capacity. Sam is like Les Wexner, so I
2:06
would expect to see Leon Black completely out of the
2:13
picture at Apollo much sooner than later. Because again, let's remember, folks,
2:19
this isn't about friendships, this isn't about being buddy buddy.
2:23
When we're talking about these sorts of financial institutions, it's
2:28
about increasing the wealth for their investors and increasing the
2:32
wealth for those who work for the company. That is
2:36
their one and only goal. They don't care about morality,
2:39
they don't care about doing things the right way, they
2:42
don't care about doing things on the up and up.
2:45
They care about making money, point blank, period. And these
2:51
hedge funds and these financial institutions, they are the last
2:59
group of people that anyone should ever think cares about them,
3:04
because they do not. You know from your own personal
3:08
relationships how people get funny over money. Now imagine that
3:12
on our grand scale and imagine all of the backstabbing, conniving, stealing,
3:18
and straight up scum baggery going on on a daily basis.
3:23
It's enough to make your head spin. Honestly, you know,
3:28
we were talking about Leon Black, and I said, there's
3:31
no way that Leon Black gave Jeffrey gave Jeffrey Epstein
3:38
all of that money for his advice. Zero chance. Now
3:42
what was that money given to Jeffrey Epstein for? I'm
3:44
not sure. We don't have anything to lead us one
3:47
way or the other right now, not even anything circumstantially.
3:53
But there are big questions, folks. And the article we're
4:00
going to read this morning from Blueberg and Bloomberg is
4:04
asking one of those very same questions that I've been asking.
4:07
How could Jeffrey Epstein mislead somebody like Leon Black so easily?
4:14
It just does not make sense. Now, I'm sure most
4:17
of you have dealt with people like Leon Black in
4:21
your life, maybe not as rich, but people that are
4:26
very powerful, very much a narcissist, and the type of
4:31
person that would never seed even one little bit of
4:35
power on their own. Now, think about the person that
4:39
you've met like that in your life or you've worked with,
4:42
and then multiply that by about five thousand, and that's
4:46
the kind of person Leon Black is. So you mean
4:52
to tell me that somebody like Jeffrey Epstein was able
4:57
to lead Leon Black around by the nose to the
5:00
tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, and Leon Black
5:04
was none the wiser, didn't do any legwork on who
5:07
Jeffrey Epstein was or what he was about. Huh, that's
5:10
what you would have us believe. I'm sorry, but I
5:14
do not believe that, and neither does Timothy L. O'Brien,
5:20
who is the author of our article today from Bloomberg
5:24
dot com headline, Could Jeffrey Epstein have played Leon Black
5:29
so easily? Timothy L. O'Brien, author, Leon Black, and others
5:38
close to him apparently had ready advice for anyone weighing
5:41
financial guidance from the late Jeffrey Epstein. Part of the
5:45
challenge of working with Epstein was separating the good ideas
5:49
from the bad ones. Here's a tip, Okay, hanging out
5:53
with Jeffrey Epstein and taking advice from him was an
5:56
absolutely terrible idea, and then lying about the extent of
6:02
that advice and the relationship with Jeffrey Epstein just compounded
6:07
your terrible idea. That might not have been the only challenge.
6:13
Of course. Epstein, who hanged himself in his Manhattan jail
6:17
cell in two thousand and nine twenty nineteen, allegedly after
6:21
being charged with sex trafficking, had a sordid personal history
6:25
that included prison time for soliciting prostitution from a minor. Now,
6:31
imagine you're Leon Black and Jeffrey Epstein comes into your life,
6:37
however that may occur, and now you know that he
6:41
has that he's already been to prison for solicitation for
6:47
prostitution of a minor. Now there's a lot there, right,
6:51
First of all, how can a minor be a prostitute?
6:54
Second of all, how can Leon Black look at that charge,
6:57
shrug his shoulders and say, ah, you know what, this
6:59
guy real abilitated himself for his four hours a day
7:02
in prison. Yeah, you know he did. He really really
7:05
really worked on himself while he was leaving jail the
7:09
stockade every day to continue to abuse girls. So Leon
7:15
Black would wants us to believe, folks, okay, you and
7:17
me and everybody else out there, that he had no idea,
7:21
that he's just a doddering old fool, and he was
7:24
led astray by an evil bad man, Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile,
7:31
everybody in the world knew what Jeffrey Epstein was at
7:35
this point, But according to Leon Black, one of the
7:40
richest most successful hedge funders ever, he had no idea
7:48
along the way. He settled, fended off, or never faced
7:52
justice for other charges involving horrific sexual abuse and rape
7:57
with powerless girls, teenagers and young women as the common denominator.
8:04
So all of that was occurring, all of that had occurred,
8:07
There were rumors, there was jail time. There were countless
8:12
numbers of girls who had come forward and spoken about
8:15
what Jeffrey Epstein had done. And yet Leon Black felt
8:20
it would be appropriate to be in business with Jeffrey Epstein,
8:24
felt it would be appropriate to give him the keys
8:27
to the castle, just like Les Wexner. And these are
8:32
supposed to be some of the sma hardest people on
8:35
Wall Street. Huh, It's no wonder that the financial world
8:40
is in shambles. His personal reading list was stocked with
8:49
such titles as SM one oh one, A Realistic Introduction
8:53
slave Craft, road Maps for Erotic Servitude and Training with
8:58
Miss Abernathy, a workbook for erotic slaves and their owners.
9:03
He also made a living as a financial advisor. You
9:07
know what, I don't even like that term anymore. I'm
9:09
not even gonna call him a financial advisor. I'm gonna
9:11
call him a financial grifter because that's what he was.
9:17
What was he advising financially for these people to do?
9:20
I mean, give me a break. Somebody like Leon Black,
9:23
who has over four hundred and forty billion dollars of
9:27
other people's money that he is in charge of investing,
9:30
is going to Jeffrey Epstein for financial advice. How could
9:36
anybody be confident having their money parked with Apollo Global?
9:41
I mean, are you kidding me right now, Jeffrey Epstein?
9:45
That was the engine that was making the train go
9:48
up the hill behind the scenes. Are you kidding me
9:50
right now? That's what you would have us believe. I'm sorry,
9:54
but I do not believe that the Coney Island hot
9:58
dog vendor was that smart and was that quick financially
10:05
that people like Leon Black had to have his services. Black,
10:12
who stepped down this week as chief executive of the
10:15
private equity Juggernaut, he co founded Apollo Global Management, Incorporated
10:20
was one of Epstein's clients. Yeah, one of a few
10:24
clients that we know about, right, Les Wexner, Leon Black,
10:30
Lebette Johnson, And you know, that's pretty much it. Now.
10:35
I'm sure that there were plenty of other people who
10:39
were involved with Jeffrey Epstein one way or the other
10:42
that still have not been brought to the forefront. But
10:47
we know that there are some heavy hitters that were
10:50
involved with Epstein, and we know that there are some
10:52
very powerful people who brought Jeffrey Epstein directly into their
10:58
confidence and directly gave him access to not only their wealth,
11:04
but the means to use that access and that wealth
11:08
to abuse women and girls. It's indisputable at this point.
11:17
He gave up his title after an internal power struggle
11:20
erupted following the firm's inquiry into his relationship with Epstein. Now,
11:25
remember that blow up inside of the boardroom is highly significant.
11:29
That's not something that happens very often, and well, it
11:33
doesn't happen very often, and we hear about it. These
11:36
kind of things are kept very close to the chest
11:41
because the last thing anyone wants is there to be
11:43
instability within the fund. They don't want investors getting spooked
11:48
and bouncing right. They want people to stick around, invest
11:51
their money and feel comfortable knowing that theirs stability in
11:54
the long term. But now you have the Jeffrey Epstein
11:59
situation and hanging over Leon Black, and these reports that
12:04
Joshua Harris and mister Black had themselves a bit of
12:12
a blow up in the boardroom, and seems like Joshua
12:16
Harris had a go at Leon Black. That's certainly what
12:20
it seems like reading in between the lines here. Apollo's
12:26
board of directors commissioned an outside law firm to examine
12:29
the matter, and they found that Black hadn't participated in
12:32
any of Epstein's crimes, but it paid him one hundred
12:36
and fifty eight million dollars for financial machinations that saved
12:41
at least one billion dollars and maybe more than two
12:45
billion dollars in personal tax payments. So I can only
12:50
imagine what sort of maneuvering and backwards ass financial scumbaggery
12:58
Jeffrey Epstein was on to get these tax breaks. I
13:02
think that Leon Black should have a full audit placed
13:06
on him, and I think that every single one of
13:08
his financial transactions should be brought to light and looked at,
13:13
because it's obvious that he was really, really, really in
13:17
bed with Epstein. It's obvious that he was pumping big
13:20
time dough into Epstein's bank accounts. What isn't obvious, however,
13:25
is the reasoning behind any of that. We don't know
13:28
why he was doing this. Oh, for charity, for his
13:31
advice must be some really damn good advice, huh, or
13:35
was it for something else entirely? Again, we don't know,
13:42
and that's where we're at. That's the task that we
13:45
find ourselves with right now, trying to figure out what
13:50
exactly Leon Black's role ultimately was in all of this.
13:56
Was he a bag man? Was there other things going on?
13:59
We just don't know. What we do know, though, is
14:02
that Leon Black has not been truthful, He has not
14:06
been honest, and the extent of his relationship with Jeffrey
14:10
Epstein is much deeper than he ever let on. There
14:18
is no disputing that. It's just like the Joe Exotic
14:22
of the Windsor family. If you had nothing to hide,
14:25
then why are you lying and being deceitful and playing
14:29
the fool? From the very beginning, if these people would
14:34
have just come out and met this head on, they
14:36
would have done themselves a lot more of a service
14:43
than trying to hide, trying to obfuscate, trying to act
14:46
like they don't even know these people, or that these
14:48
relationships weren't as solid as they really were, because eventually
14:54
that's all going to come out, right, That's not the
14:57
kind of stuff that can be hidden forever, especially when
15:00
these people start falling off, when they're not as powerful
15:03
as they once were, and people who might have been
15:05
scared to speak out of line or speak out of
15:08
turn are now willing to spill the tea and talk
15:13
about these people, And once they start losing power, you
15:18
see a lot more of that. Paying one hundred and
15:23
fifty eight million dollars to save at least one billion
15:25
seems like a pretty good deal, right, It wasn't enough
15:29
for Black. He also thought Epstein's one hundred and fifty
15:32
eight million dollar fee could be deducted in its entirety
15:36
on his tax returns. So basically, what that's saying is
15:41
that not only did he have Jeffrey Epstein on retainer
15:45
to do whatever it is Jeffrey Epstein was doing, he
15:49
then brazenly and shoving it in everybody else's face writes
15:56
off Jeffrey Epstein's services on his tax returns. So again,
16:05
if you think this man is above money laundering or
16:08
above backwards ass deals or sideways ass smarmy ass deals,
16:13
think again. Just because people are rich like this guy
16:17
doesn't mean that they stop being greedy. In fact, it
16:21
seems like the greed only increases, and we see that
16:25
time and time and time again. These dudes don't know
16:29
when enough is enough, and then eventually the greed gets
16:32
the best of them and they get caught. Hopefully that's
16:35
what happens with Leon Black, and I really hope, beyond
16:40
hope that a full forensic financial investigation is underway. Neat trick,
16:50
pay someone a boatload to save you a fortune in taxes,
16:53
and then stick Uncle Sam with the bill. But Black
16:56
believed he could squeeze out that extra one hundred and
16:59
fifty eight million because Epstein told him so. As it
17:02
turned out he couldn't. Somebody wasn't able to separate Epstein's
17:07
good ideas from his bad ones. So this guy has
17:12
all of this money, all of this power, all of
17:15
this wealth, has built this huge, powerful ass company and then,
17:21
on the advice of Bitch ass Jeffrey Epstein thinks that
17:26
he's going to write off one hundred and fifty eight
17:29
million dollar supposed fee paid to Epstein. You don't run
17:34
that by your in house lawyer. You don't run that
17:37
by your Tom Hagen, your personal Tom Hagen. You don't
17:41
run that by the law firm that's employed by the
17:44
company or the legal counsel employed by the company. You
17:49
just go ahead and go with it. What did your
17:53
accountant have to say about that? I'm pretty sure that
17:55
Leon Black isn't sitting around on TurboTax filing his own
18:00
is okay, So again I ask you what was this
18:04
money for? And the Wall Street tycoon's inability to follow
18:13
his own advice about Epstein is a curious thing. Black
18:18
sixty nine is worth about ten billion dollars and is
18:21
as savvy and hardbitten as they come. He shouldn't be
18:25
easy to hoodwink exactly what I was saying yesterday, and
18:32
now we're gonna add some contact to that in this article, right.
18:35
But I was saying yesterday when we were talking about
18:38
Leon Black, that there's zero chance that this dude's getting
18:41
dog walked into anything by Jeffrey Epstein. Zero chance talk
18:46
about eyes wide open. After all, he has quite a journey.
18:53
His father, a Polish immigrant, was a successful investment banker
18:57
and conglomateour who leaped to his death from a Manhattan
19:01
skyscraper during a federal bribery investigation while Black was attending
19:06
the Harvard Business School. And it all comes back to
19:08
Harvard again, doesn't it. All of these people, it seems like,
19:12
went to Harvard, Harvard, Harvard, Harvard, Harvard, the Harvard crew,
19:19
and now a ton of the new people in the
19:21
new administration, the new Biden administration also have went to Harvard.
19:26
I don't know about you, folks, but I've had a
19:29
belly full of these ivy league folks. My father was
19:38
God to me, and then he committed suicide. Suicides, you know,
19:43
aren't usually committed by gods. Black told Bloomberg Business Week
19:47
last year, it took me years of therapy to get
19:49
over that and to figure out where he ended. And
19:52
I began, hey, look, as much as I think Leon
19:55
Black is a scumbag, SOB I don't relish in the
19:59
fact that the dude's father leapt to his death. That
20:02
must be brutally hard to lose your dad, especially if
20:05
you look up to him and you have him in
20:09
a godlike status, right, that must be terrible. But let's
20:15
not sugarcoated here. Leon Black's pops was obviously involved in
20:19
some fraud, in some bad money business, and instead of
20:26
facing the music, he decided to hop out of a window.
20:31
So when we're talking about Leon Black and we're talking
20:35
about the rest of these people, we have to understand
20:38
that we're dealing with people who have been like this
20:43
for generations, where the means justifies the end, and they're
20:47
so full of hubris and they're so narcissistic that they
20:50
would rather die than face the music. Black's early career
20:58
took him to Drexel Burnham, Lambert and Corporated, where he
21:01
was junk bond king, Michael Milkin's lieutenant and part of
21:04
a clan of young tuffs who up ended finance and
21:08
helped launch the massive wave of corporate takeovers until the
21:12
firm collapsed amid fraud charges against Milkin, well more fraud charges,
21:17
his dad out the window, his mentor, Michael Milkin fraud,
21:23
and Leon Black last man standing. Yet where to think
21:27
that he is squeaky clean? Huh? He is just squeaky clean.
21:34
There's zero chance that he's squeaky clean. Okay, folks, look
21:38
at the people he's been around, look at his associates,
21:41
and the cherry on top is just look at his
21:44
tight relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Black and other Drexel alums
21:55
launched Apollo in nineteen ninety, the same year their old
21:58
firm went bankrupt. Black also became friends with Epstein sometime
22:03
during the nineties and grew steadily impressed, like many Titans,
22:07
by Epstein's sterling connections in the arts, academia, and business.
22:14
So again, another person who's willing to overlook what Jeffrey
22:19
Epstein was, what he was doing, the kind of person
22:22
he was, all because it justified the means and it
22:27
justified the ends. And Leon Black and the rest of
22:31
these people, they are an absolute embarrassment, Okay, for people
22:38
who are supposed to be so damn smart. How could
22:41
they possibly think that we're going to believe that they're
22:45
so stupid. Black said he knew nothing about his friend's
22:51
abuse of miners and young women, but he was aware
22:54
the predator had gone to prison. He believed his friend's
22:57
excuse that the fourteen year old he solicited had lied
23:00
about our age and believed he deserved a second chance.
23:04
So they continued to visit with one another in homes
23:07
scattered around the world, and they continued to talk about money. Yeah,
23:11
I'm sure that's all they talked about. I'm sure that
23:14
they were laser focused on money. We know that Jeffrey
23:19
Epstein was a braggart and a big mouth. You mean
23:22
to tell me he wasn't talking about his conquests to
23:25
his buddy Leon Black, trying to make himself look better,
23:29
trying to pump his own tires. Of course, he was
23:32
talking about all these young girls and this and that
23:35
and the other thing. And the fact that Leon Black
23:39
would believe this lame ass excuse by Epstein tells you
23:43
everything you need to know about the person Leon Black is.
23:51
As in all things Epstein, Black appears to have been
23:54
a model of tolerance when it came to Red Flags
23:57
and their financial dealings. To a nifty story from Bloomberg News,
24:02
Epstein felt empowered enough to terrorize the highly competent team
24:06
Black had already put in charge of his personal finances.
24:10
He laid claimed the winning ideas that weren't his promoted
24:14
financial maneuvers that were easily picked apart and was generally
24:20
a disruptive and caustic force. So again, please, folks, tell
24:24
me what was Jeffrey Epstein providing that all of these
24:28
high profile wonks that were around Leon Black couldn't provide,
24:34
What was it that Leon Black needed from Jeffrey Epstein.
24:37
That's the question I'm posing to all of you, because
24:44
it's rather obvious that Leon Black's team, his financial team,
24:49
knew that Epstein was a faker, knew that he was
24:51
a blowhard, and knew that he was no good for
24:54
Leon Black or the company. Yet Leon Black ignores all
25:00
of these top notch advisors that he had brought in
25:04
and had around him and instead defers to Jeffrey Epstein.
25:12
On the other hand, Epstein seemed to have a talent
25:14
for tax avoidance. When some estate planning miscues miscues threatened
25:18
to stick Black and his children with billions of dollars
25:21
in tax payments, Epstein got busy. One sleight of hand
25:25
lasted nine months and involved a series of loans between
25:28
Black and some trusts. Epstein said that Magic Act, a loan,
25:32
saved Black six hundred million. According to Bloomberg News On
25:36
it went from twenty twelve to twenty and seventeen to
25:40
the tune of one hundred and fifty eight million dollars
25:43
in fees. Then some arguments about fees fractured trust and
25:48
the end of a close relationship. Yeah, I don't buy
25:51
any of that. The whole fractured the relationship. More like
25:56
Leon Black saw what was coming down the pipe, someone
25:58
tipped them off, and he started to distance himself. That's
26:02
more like what it means to me, because you know, oh,
26:05
they had a breakup. Yeah, right, give me a break.
26:11
And all of the money that was being moved through
26:14
shell companies and trust funds and all of that. Again,
26:17
that all needs to be audited. I am sure that
26:23
there was some sort of malfeason's occurring. Many of Apollo's
26:29
clients began distancing themselves from the firm as more details
26:33
emerged since twenty nineteen about Black and Epstein's relationship. Perhaps
26:39
it was only a matter of time before Apollo found
26:42
it necessary to alice Black, who was staying on as
26:45
chairman in what may prove to be something more than
26:50
a ceremonial role. And again, I don't even think he'll
26:53
stay on in that capacity. I think when all the
26:56
dust clears and all of the battle lines are drawn
27:01
that Joshua Harris is going to have his way and
27:04
Leon Black is going to be persona non grata within
27:08
Apollo Global. If Apollo's board hoped its investigation of the
27:15
Black Epstein nexus might provide closure, it's wrong. The report
27:19
raises as many questions as it answers, begs for more transparency,
27:24
and leaves anybody who can't afford to pay one hundred
27:27
and fifty eight million to save billions, which is almost
27:30
everybody tuned into the obvious. Leon Black is not the
27:35
kind of guy to get so easily played, So tell
27:39
us more and mister O'Brien hits the nail on the
27:44
head here. There is a lot more to this story.
27:48
Leon Black is not the kind of man to get
27:50
dog walked, and he's certainly not the kind of man
27:53
to get bamboozled by a low end, low level grifter
27:59
like Jeffrey Epstein. If you'd like to contact me, you

28:29
podcast and helped support the show, Thank you folks so much.
28:33
All right, everybody, I will be back later on and
28:35
we will see what the hell is going on. Then
28:39
catch you all later. So, Leon Black, one of Jeffrey
28:46
Epstein's BFFs, is now under investigation. Now we have covered
28:56
the allegations against him by missus Gunia, but now the
29:02
report is that those allegations have turned into a criminal investigation.
29:09
And my comment to that is about time. About time.
29:16
Leon Black should have been caught up in a rico
29:18
investigation in regards to Jeffrey Epstein a long time ago.
29:24
But unfortunately the Department of Justice is scared. The Department
29:28
of Justice still doesn't have any backbone. And Merrick Garland
29:34
is no better than Bill Barr. I said what I said.
29:40
If he was well, we'd see more movement here, wouldn't we.
29:44
But like I told you, during the whole transition of power,
29:48
meet the new boss same as the old boss. The
29:51
only people who think differently are those engaging in tribalism folks. Meanwhile,
29:57
over here at the adults table. We want them all
30:01
to be eviscerated. We want them all to be brought in,
30:04
and the best way to do that would be Rico.
30:07
But no, And it's funny. You don't see the legacy
30:11
media pining for Rico either. Why not? They sure were
30:13
quick to yell about it for r Kelly or Rainieri.
30:17
I wonder what they have to hide. The party's over
30:22
for all of these people. And you know the days
30:27
of being nice and friendly should be over as well.
30:30
If you're named in these court documents and you have
30:33
allegations against you by these survivors, you should be persona
30:37
non grata. But that's not how it works, is it not.
30:42
If you're one of Jeffrey Epstein's friends, Leon Black should
30:48
have been smashed with Rico, his assets should have been seized,
30:52
and Apollo Global should have been raided. But that's in
30:58
a perfect world. That's not the world we live, the
31:00
world that we have built. Remember, like George Carlin said,
31:04
we can plain and bitch and moan about these politicians,
31:06
yet we send them back every single cycle. So whose
31:10
responsibility is it? Really? The responsibility is ours. But unfortunately
31:16
people are way too gas lit. People are way too
31:18
caught up with hate in their neighbors, and then scumbags
31:22
like Leon Black get to slide by. And that's why
31:27
I talk about this so much, and I try to
31:29
point it out so much, because we're almost out of
31:32
point now, folks, where there's no going back with the
31:35
divide in the country, and that can only lead to
31:38
bad things. And people like this Leon Black, they take
31:42
advantage of chaos, They take advantage of the citizenry at
31:46
war with each other. Basically, just take a look at
31:49
how they've increased their wealth while the rest of us
31:51
got poor. And then at the same time they have
31:53
the audacity to stand up there and gaslight people into
31:57
thinking that people who were collecting on an employment were
32:00
the problem. Well, guess what, That's obviously not the case, right,
32:04
because there's still a bunch of job openings, aren't there.
32:08
There's still a bunch of people leaving their jobs, aren't there.
32:15
So even during the most destructive catastrophes, their goal is
32:20
to divide us. Oh you're vaccinated, you're not. Oh you
32:23
got unemployment, you didn't. Meanwhile, bitch ass Leon Black is
32:30
swimming through his money like Scrooge McDuck and laughing at us,
32:36
and I'm sick of it, folks, I really am. I
32:39
get onto Twitter and it's an absolute cesspool. So many
32:44
people who fake the funk, so many people who act
32:46
like they're really interested in justice about Jeffrey Epstein, really
32:50
aren't interested in justice. They're interested in playing politics like
32:54
everything else. And most of the time I just ignore
32:59
all of it and keep it moving. But as a
33:03
political scientist, I'm starting to get tired of the bullshit
33:06
I see. It is very annoying when people who obviously
33:13
never even passed a basic Civics class think they know
33:16
about politics. You do not. You know how the KGB
33:24
used to talk about useful idiots, Well, that is all
33:27
of us who are engaging in this nonsense. And it
33:32
used to be me as well. I used to be
33:34
right there with the rest of the idiots. Everything changed
33:39
for me when I started looking into Jeffrey Epstein and
33:42
I understood the scope of how massive this was, how
33:46
far arranging it was, and how it involved all of
33:50
them on both sides of the aisle. And my friends,
33:55
we have ourselves a problem. When we're not paying attention
34:00
to what the most powerful people in our society are doing.
34:04
We are setting ourselves up for disaster. And when I
34:08
talk about rich people, remember I don't mean people are
34:11
making four hundred thousand dollars a year like President Junior
34:15
Soprano Biden does. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm
34:18
talking about the real rich people in this country, in
34:21
this world, the handful that control everything. And I don't
34:25
mean sitting in some back room like some conspiracy theorists
34:28
would talk about. I'm talking to people that pull the
34:31
levers in the financial sector. Those are the people that
34:35
run everything. Money makes the whole world go around, doesn't it.
34:40
These are the people that are the issue. And these
34:43
are the people that control our politicians. Can you name
34:46
me the last president that showed up and didn't bring
34:49
a fuck ton of bankers with them. I'm waiting. And
34:55
the whole reason for this rant before we get into
34:58
the article is because it leads to this, people like
35:01
Leon Black and Jeffrey Epstein skirting by and I'm sick
35:06
of it. I'm not gonna I'm not standing for it. Obviously,
35:09
I'm doing everything that I possibly can to bring awareness
35:12
to the issue, but it's kind of discouraging when you
35:19
see people who talk out of one side of their mouth.
35:21
How oh, it's all about justice, But out of the
35:24
other side of their mouth, all they can do is
35:26
demean one side or the other. That's not how it works,
35:29
that's not how you build unity. So miss me, with
35:34
all of the bullshit, especially of the tribalism and the politics,
35:38
I don't care about it, not in this instance. I've
35:41
said it once and I'll say it again, full on
35:44
carpet bombing of anyone involved, Republican, Democrat or anything in between,
35:52
because if not, if we continue to play games and
35:55
the pitchforks and the torches continue to be at each
35:57
other's throats, then people like Leon Black are going to
36:00
continue to abuse our children. And folks, look, I don't
36:03
have any kids. This isn't a fight for my children.
36:08
This is a fight for your children. So please remember
36:15
that before you fire off that incendiary message to your
36:20
friend or your uncle or whatever, because we're playing right
36:27
into their hands, and I really wish more people would
36:31
wake up to what's going on. All Right, now that
36:35
you've listened to me Winge for eight minutes and eleven seconds,
36:39
why don't we jump into this article and talk about
36:42
bitch ass Leon Black? Shall we Today's article from the
36:46
Daily Mail. The author is David A. There of your Sorry, David,
36:52
I'm terrible at pronouncing names, as you all know. His
36:55
last name is spelled A V E R R E,
36:58
so I apologize if I mispronounced your name. Paul Headline.
37:04
Billionaire financier Leon Black seventy is being investigated over accusations
37:09
he raped two Russian models, including one in Jeffrey Epstein's
37:13
Upper east Side townhouse in two thousand and two. Hell
37:16
of a guy, this, Leon Black. Huh, certainly the kind
37:19
of guy that you'd love to send your daughter to
37:21
go work for, said nobody. Ever, and again, look, I
37:26
don't know what happened here, right, I wasn't there. But
37:30
what I will tell you is this, anybody who is
37:33
hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein's suspect, in my opinion, anybody
37:37
who's palaling around with Jeffrey Epstein, it's reasonable to assume
37:41
they might be engaging in this sort of behavior as well.
37:45
So that's why when we got these allegations from miss Ganieva,
37:49
I thought that they were credible. Now again, that's just
37:52
my opinion, right, I don't have evidence to prove that
37:55
her allegations are credible, but well, looks like the authority
38:00
are taking him a bit serious. Huh. Billionaire financier Leon
38:07
Black is now believed to be the subject of a
38:09
Manhattan District Attorney's office investigation into claims that he raped
38:13
and sexually assaulted two models. Black, seventy, a close friend
38:17
of notorious financier and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, was first publicly
38:22
accused of rape and sexual abuse to March by Guzelle Ganieva,
38:27
who is thirty eight. Ganieva alleged Black as a violent,
38:31
sadistic sexual predator who raped and harassed her, then coerced
38:35
her into signing a non disclosure agreement. She went on
38:39
to file a lawsuit against Black in June. So again,
38:43
when this lawsuit was filed, I said it, then, if
38:47
she's not telling the truth, she's gonna be in big
38:49
trouble because Leon Black is going to employ a team
38:52
of scumbag lawyers to dig into what she has to say.
38:55
So she has to be ready to walk through the fire.
38:58
And it sure seems like she was in it. And
39:01
good for her, miss Ganiheva. If you happen to hear
39:03
this episode, good for you. Take that shit back from them,
39:10
that stupid ass non disclosure agreement. Sorry, that doesn't mean anything,
39:15
not when it comes to this, to your dignity, to
39:17
your future. So all you rich scumbags out there with
39:22
your non disclosure agreements, take them and shove them. It's
39:26
a new day, all right. Nobody should have to sign
39:28
a non disclosure agreement when it comes to a relationship
39:31
as far as one of sexual nature. Oh, I don't
39:35
want my wife to find out. Well, here's an idea.
39:37
Don't cheat on your wife. Then the model then amended
39:45
her lawsuit in September to include the accusations of a
39:48
second woman referred to only as Jane Doe, who alleged
39:51
she was violently raped by Black and Jeffrey Epstein's New
39:54
York residence in two thousand and two. So it all
39:58
fits right with the timeline. We know what was go
40:00
going on there in two thousand and two, We know
40:02
the behavior that Jeffrey Epstein and his goon squad were
40:06
engaging in. So why would anyone think that this doesn't
40:11
have legs? Why would anyone think that this isn't gonna
40:14
go anywhere? And really, what it comes down to is
40:17
everyone scared of Leon Black. I remember when I worked
40:20
in the financial sector, the talk about Leon Black was
40:26
everyone was fearful. And I worked for can Or Gaming,
40:32
Howard Lutnik, and they were very powerful as well, but
40:36
nobody was moving the needle like Leon Black when it
40:40
comes to fear or people uh not wanting to step
40:43
on his toes. So of course the media is scared
40:47
shitless of them. The guy's banging off at Apollo Global.
40:50
I don't think people understand the scope of Apollo Global's reach.
40:56
These are very powerful people. We are talking some of
40:59
them most powerful people in the history of finance. So
41:05
we know the legacy media is scared to him and
41:07
they don't want to go hard against him. So it's
41:09
up to independent content creators, independent journalists. And guess what
41:13
I'm here for it Not one of these people ticks
41:19
off any bit of fear in my heart, not at all.
41:22
What are they going to do? Show up and follow
41:26
me around like ronin Pharaoh. I got news for you.
41:28
I'm not roning Pharaoh. I'll just leave it at that.
41:34
You come to the inner City where I live and
41:35
you want to follow me around, Okay, sounds like fun,
41:39
but you better have a badge. None of these people
41:43
elicit one bit of fear from me, and I'll continue
41:47
talking about them until my beard grows to my feet
41:51
and it's as white as snow, and they ain't gonna
41:55
do shit about it. How about that? Run home and
41:58
tell that it's too bad the legacy media, Well, it's
42:03
too bad they don't have a backbone. A legal spokesperson
42:09
for Black has thus far denied any knowledge of the investigation,
42:12
while the man himself has steadfastly denied accusations. The lawsuit
42:17
and resulting investigation comes after Black, once one of New
42:21
York City's most powerful executives as the former CEO of
42:25
Apollo Global Management, denied any knowledge of Epstein's wrongdoing when
42:29
his heinous crimes were exposed. Oh yeah, he knew nothing.
42:34
You know. You just give one hundred and fifty eight
42:35
million dollars to people you don't know shit about. Hey,
42:38
here you go, bro, here's a quick one hundred and
42:40
fifty eight million. I don't need to know shit about you, though.
42:42
Can I get some advice? What? What does that even mean?
42:46
What does any of this even mean? And if you
42:50
can't tell, I'm fired up this morning. I've had enough
42:53
of people like Leon Black, and I've certainly had enough
42:55
of their apologist too. This dude, dude is obviously somebody
43:02
who was deeply, deeply connected to Jeffrey Epstein one hundred
43:06
and fifty eight million dollars worth, and still somehow there
43:10
was no investigation into him and his ties with Jeffrey Epstein.
43:14
But oh, let's all just stop everything we're doing and
43:18
let's go and investigate the Washington football team. That's your congress, folks,
43:24
that's what you voted for. And if it's not, my
43:29
suggestion is remember that. In twenty twenty two, the investigation
43:36
into Black has reportedly been launched after Ganieva and Jane
43:40
Doe met with prosecutors to discuss their claims, according to
43:44
sources cited by Vanity Fair. It comes just one week
43:48
after Black made his first high profile public appearance in
43:51
months at the Beverly Hilton, when he attended a conference
43:54
on finance, of which his son, Ben, a private equity executive,
43:59
was a part. And that's the thing with these people,
44:01
it doesn't matter the allegations against you. The only crime
44:05
when you're part of the so called elite is to
44:08
not have money. That's it. You can rate, you can traffic.
44:12
You can steal whatever it is, doesn't matter. You'll be
44:15
welcomed with open arms. Don't be poor though. The saga
44:22
began in March, when Ganieva first went public with her
44:25
accusations about Black's long standing history of sebuse and chorus
44:29
of behavior. Black resigned from his position as head of
44:33
the massive investment firm Apollo Global on March twenty second,
44:37
just days after Ghanieva posted a series of tweets claiming
44:41
that her abuse at the hands of Black started in
44:44
two thousand and eight and continued until two thousand and fifteen.
44:49
But it's okay, folks. She signed a non prosecution agreement
44:53
or I mean a non disclosure agreement, and you know
44:55
she wore a short skirt, so it's okay. The thought
44:59
pattern of these people makes me fucking crazy. And it's
45:03
up to other alphamels, other dudes who aren't punk bitches
45:07
to step up and say something about it. And I
45:10
see a lack of that as well. She went on
45:14
to file a lawsuit against the billionaire financier in June,
45:17
in which she branded him a violent and sadistic sexual
45:20
predator who raped and harassed her, before alleging that the
45:24
former CEO of Apollo Global Management, forced her to fly
45:27
to Florida to satisfy the sex needs of Jeffrey Epstein
45:31
at his Palm Beach villa. Black had previously admitted to
45:34
having a six year affair with Ganieva, which he claims
45:37
was consensual, and said he paid Ganieva one hundred grand
45:41
a month for fifteen years not to discuss the relationship.
45:45
Imagine one hundred grand a month sounds like a lot
45:47
of money, right, Not really, not when you're giving Jeffrey
45:50
Epstein one hundred and fifty eight million dollars. Again, I
45:53
ask you, what is one hundred If you're only giving
45:56
her one hundred thousand dollars a month one point two
45:58
million dollars a year to keep quiet? What could Jeffrey
46:02
Epstein be worth at one hundred and fifty eight million.
46:06
Go ahead and chew on that for a little while. Folks,
46:08
put that shit in your pipe and smoke it, because
46:11
I can't make heads or tails of it. Lawyers for
46:17
Ganieva then in September filed an amended complaint detailing the
46:20
horrific experiences of a Jane Doe, who says she was
46:24
violently raped by Black In two thousand and two, The
46:28
legal team said Jane Doe's experiences show that, contrary to
46:31
Black's version of the events, that he knew nothing about
46:34
Epstein's sexual wrongdoing. As alleged, Black was perpetrating his own
46:39
sexual crimes at Epstein's home as far back as two
46:42
thousand and two. Again, where's the SDNY, Where's Alison mo
46:49
and Marine Komi and the rest of them? Why is
46:54
this not a Rico case? I really wish somebody would
46:59
answer that question for me. I really really do. And
47:02
when I'm in New York, I'm gonna try and get
47:04
that question answered by these prosecutors. I'm gonna ask them,
47:07
and we're gonna see what they have to say. And
47:09
I don't care if I have to go to the
47:11
prosecutor's office, that's what all happen. I have had enough
47:14
at this point, folks. I am as fed up as
47:17
I have ever been. Going a step further, the motion
47:22
alleges that Black had a long standing relationship with Epstein
47:26
for years that involved arranged massages with women for money
47:30
at Epstein's home. How is he not part of the
47:32
criminal conspiracy? You're at his house, You're getting massages from
47:36
trafficked girls. You're moving money around with him. How is
47:41
this not everything that we talk about on a daily basis. Oh,
47:45
that's right, it is. But there is a two tier
47:49
justice system in this country. And I don't need to
47:51
keep telling you that. Just take a look for yourself.
47:59
Jane Edge that a short while into her association with Epstein,
48:02
she was violently assaulted by Black after he instructed her
48:06
to give him a massage at Epstein's home. The suit
48:09
is that a huge black, a huge black, standing more
48:12
than six foot four inch and weighing more than three
48:15
hundred pounds, brutally raped her before paying her off. Imagine this, disgusting,
48:21
son of a bitch. And it's multiple girls saying this now,
48:25
multiple women. According to Black, Um, he provided substantial documentary
48:33
evidence in legal filings, including text messages and recordings that
48:37
show miss Ganieva's claims to be completely false. Well, I'd
48:41
like to see all of that, and I certain like
48:43
to see where all of this goes. The point of
48:45
the matter is this for me anyway, not so much
48:48
as what we know about this unfolding situation. For me,
48:52
it's everything else. The profile that's built of Leon Black
48:56
previously his relationship with Epstein, his behavior with Epstein money,
49:00
and now this. How is he not part of this investigation?
49:04
How are there not indictments for con and Indyke and
49:08
the Core four? How is it that it's only Gallainne
49:11
Maxwell sitting in that gel cell right now. Now. Don't
49:14
get me wrong, she belongs there. But all of this
49:17
other stuff needs to occur as well, or it's a
49:22
failure on the part of the authorities. And frankly, I'm
49:26
tired of it. I'm tired of all of their big talk.
49:29
I'm tired of all We're gonna go after the most
49:31
powerful to only again go after the most vulnerable. And
49:38
there was all kinds of excitement when Trump was leaving
49:41
and Biden was coming in, and I was told by
49:43
so many people how different things were gonna be. Yeah,
49:45
my question is when, folks, when are things gonna be different?
49:49
Because as of right now, shit still is the same.
