Ella Maulding Interview! +Epstein Files UNRAVELED! | Gray Area LIVE #49

Ella Mauldin, a white Christian nationalist and anti-porn advocate, joins Rex Jones and Tim Tompkins to dissect the Epstein files, released under the Transparency Act, exposing $160M paid by Leon Black—later appointed to lead the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation in 2025—for Epstein’s tax schemes while allegedly enabling abuse of a disabled 16-year-old. Maulding links pornography (e.g., Pornhub, X Videos) to trafficking, citing platforms’ complicity and algorithms pushing explicit content to children as young as nine. They critique DOJ redactions, Republican inaction, and systemic desensitization, arguing Epstein’s network—including Black’s son Ben—operates with impunity, prioritizing profits over justice. The episode reveals how power structures exploit legal loopholes and silence victims while younger generations demand accountability. [Automatically generated summary]

rex jones
Look how nice that intro is, Tim.
unidentified
Evening, ladies and gentlemen.
tim tompkins
Yeah, actually, I love that introduction as well.
rex jones
Me too.
tim tompkins
Guys, we're in for a special, another Sunday special night.
How are we feeling today, guys?
Let's see with the chat.
rex jones
I think we're feeling pretty good.
We got a lot of people in here for the start.
tim tompkins
You feeling better health-wise?
You're pretty sick the last week.
rex jones
Yeah, I mean, I'm still a little congested, right?
Like a little bit of head cold stuff still going on, but the sinus issue, that almost took me out last week.
And I was still happy to stream, but I did some streams where I was like crashing out just because of my mood.
I can't breathe out of my nose.
I feel like a pug.
unidentified
Right.
Like, yeah, no, I could hear it.
tim tompkins
Even when you were on the on with Dew, you could hear it.
You were struggling, but uh, true form.
Uh, anyways, let's see.
Tonight, we've got a special guest, Ella Maulding.
rex jones
Yes.
tim tompkins
Very excited to have her on.
She's got a different perspective.
You don't have, you know, you got a lot of male talking heads, but there's not too many female ones, to be honest.
So she seems to be someone who's well educated.
She knows what she's talking about.
She's got a pretty big platform in which she speaks on things.
I think she describes herself as a white Christian nationalist.
So that is what her ML.
She said that we could call her.
That's okay.
rex jones
All right.
Well, I'm curious because in the time period we're like 2018, we get banned.
2021, I think is when I lost my Twitter originally, in about like the half decade period of time when I was gone, this new right, I really don't know a whole lot about it, about like the figureheads, about the people involved, XYZ.
And she's a part of that community.
So I want to ask her questions about that.
And of course, get her a topical opinion on Epstein file.
She's an anti-porn advocate.
So we want to talk about that as well.
It's going to be a fun show.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
I think she's well, I think she's well educated.
She's able to speak her mind very clearly, especially on her videos.
She's a little nervous tonight, which I totally understand.
She doesn't normally do a whole lot of live stuff, but this will be something new for her.
We're going to make her feel welcome, chat, make her feel welcome.
Right.
But I'm really excited to have this conversation.
rex jones
And we got a great team.
We got King Andrew and King Damon running things behind the scenes.
So it's all going to run very smooth.
She doesn't have to worry about anything.
We don't have to worry about anything.
It's just going to be informational.
tim tompkins
100%.
Now, I know tonight there are some people that have asked you to speak on the things about your father.
rex jones
Yes.
Yeah.
Let's go ahead and get the Jake Shields post up with the Gunther Eagleman and the Alex Jones tweet that are kind of mysteriously the same.
And let's talk about it.
But I want to get that up first and I want to read it.
So let me know when you got that up.
I'll go ahead and read it.
It's just, here's the thing.
We cannot be people that have blind spots.
Even for the people that we love and respect and really value the opinion of, like I do with my father, you can't have a blind spot, right?
So my dad goes on Fresh and Fit last night.
I'm driving back from town from celebrating my little sister's birthday last night.
And I'm listening to it.
And he's basically like, it's the greatest thing ever.
Trump just dropped the hammer.
Trump just dropped the fucking nuke.
That's what he said.
Sorry to curse so early on in the broadcast.
Trump just dropped the hammer XYZ.
And ultimately to name list of people that include like Elvis Presley and like Cher or Elvis.
tim tompkins
I was really shocked when I was like, wait, Elvis?
rex jones
Yeah, he himself is on the list.
tim tompkins
It's like, I was like, surely that can't be.
rex jones
Yeah, so it's like, what are we even doing here anymore?
But let me know when we got that up.
I think I see it now.
You have done well, Lord Veda.
Go to the Mustafa system.
Kill the Viceroy Gunray and the separatist leaders.
Then your training will be complete.
Let's get that up.
tim tompkins
All right.
So let's go ahead and read this.
Ooh, let me pull it.
rex jones
It's all good.
tim tompkins
It's too small over here.
rex jones
I can read it.
The same person clearly wrote both these tweets from Jake Shields.
And of course, the caption tweet is actually from someone that we've had on the show before, from Dominic Michael Tripley, who went ahead and compiled it all.
Let's go back to that and just zoom in.
I can read it from there if you enhance it.
Thanks.
unidentified
All right.
rex jones
So this is Gunther Eagleman, who is like a conglomerate of like 50 people that run that account.
It's not a real person running that account.
I'm 99% sure.
And then it's my dad.
And the only thing my dad added to it was the word kaboom, which is interesting.
Kaboom.
tim tompkins
Kablao.
rex jones
But I'll read Gunther Eagleman's first.
Just in AG Pambondi just unleashed the full Epstein files under the Transparency Act.
All 3.5 million pages dropped.
That's talking about 3.5 million that have already been released.
Redactions justified only for victims.
What?
And high-profile names exposed with zero cover-ups for embarrassment or politics.
No records held or redacted based on embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity to any official public figure or foreign dignitary.
This backfired bigly on the left.
And it's just like, come on, man.
It's like it's Trump talking.
Powerful Democrats like Bill Clinton mentioned 1,193 times.
Trump's mentioned more.
And others busted while fake smears against Trump called out as BS.
Vindication for Trump.
Okay.
Do we have the actual name list in there?
tim tompkins
Yeah.
rex jones
I think we do.
unidentified
We do.
tim tompkins
Just help clarify this for me.
So these messages are clearly, they're just taking on from down high somewhere.
I'll just have to say these are too closely in terms of how they're written.
rex jones
Well, it's not even that.
It's the same thing.
Yeah.
tim tompkins
Well, I mean, the way your dad starts is a little bit different, but it's, it's almost that's the only difference.
rex jones
Oh, you're right.
Actually, you're right.
tim tompkins
Okay, you're right.
rex jones
But see, that's the trick that they play on people, right?
tim tompkins
Is this normal?
rex jones
No.
I mean, I haven't seen this before from him.
You know, here's the thing.
I saw him retweet some Iranian protest footage, which was like from France and then other places where it was like fake.
And that was a big coordinated campaign that was going on during the time when that like a failed color revolution was taking place where they like jammed the Starlink and executed the people and blah, blah, blah.
unidentified
Right, right, right.
rex jones
But, you know, I just, this, this don't sit right with me at all.
It doesn't feel legitimate.
And when we go ahead and get the name list up, it'll make more sense.
unidentified
Okay.
tim tompkins
Let's go ahead and pull that up, Andrew.
rex jones
Okay, here we go.
Breaking, AG and Pam Bondi announces DOJ has released all Epstein file under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, including justified redactions and a list of high-profile names appearing in the documents.
So, Alexander Acosta, Alfred, Gloria, Julian Assange, WikiLeaks guy, Steve Bannon, Leon Black, Anthony Blinken, Pam Bondi's in there.
tim tompkins
Okay, yeah, that's...
rex jones
It's like, we got Elvis in here.
We got people that were dead in like the 80s in here.
tim tompkins
It's like mixed with people who are real, people who are not.
rex jones
Queen Elizabeth is in there.
Thank you.
Yeah, like Maxwell, while other individuals are mentioned only in a portion of document, including press reporting is on his face unrelated to Epstein and Maxwell Matters.
I guess it's just a list of names, but this isn't the unredactions that are promised.
They just put this list of names out there and said, boom, here you go.
We told the truth.
tim tompkins
Okay, everybody.
Just help me clarify.
unidentified
Who released this?
rex jones
DOJ, apparently.
tim tompkins
Okay, so DOJ is just blowing smoke up our asses.
rex jones
Right.
And I mean, me and you, Tim, we reviewed the Bondi thing.
We reacted to it.
That was a cover-up, right?
That was pure cover up.
But she didn't answer a single question.
tim tompkins
SP 500 is an all-time high.
rex jones
My.
Exactly.
Right.
So like, if you look at that and you look at the pure cover-up that it is, and then you look at like, breaking news, I just, they just dropped the hammer on Epstein.
And it's just, it's just a list of BS names.
It's very simple.
And everyone I've seen online that's either defending the Epstein thing or minimizing it or it is twisting it in some way, they don't address the very simple argument, which is what everyone said, which is what everyone wants.
These emails where there's the human sacrifice, the child trafficking, the Satanism, the cannibalism, Epstein and Woody Allen literally talking about their human diet.
tim tompkins
You're saying they have the files of these particular acts and they haven't released them?
rex jones
Well, the names are unredacted.
And these emails, right?
And the emails have remained unredacted, and they're not going to release the rest of the emails because it's too damning what's there.
But they want to say, oh, we got this list here.
Oh, ain't that exciting?
Now you don't have to worry about it anymore.
It's a thing where people are working two jobs.
People are stressed out.
People are worried about the country.
And they see their favorite influencer post a list of names and go, total vindication.
And they're like, great.
I don't have to worry about this anymore.
unidentified
Okay.
tim tompkins
So let me see.
Where is your dad on here?
I'm just trying to.
rex jones
Jones Alex right at the top.
tim tompkins
Oh, okay.
I see.
Top right corner.
rex jones
You got Barack Obama.
You got Rosie O'Donnell.
You got Mike Pompeo.
You've got Rubio on the list.
You've got George Soros on the list.
You've got Eric Swalwell on the list.
You've got, oh man, there's just so many names.
But here's the thing, right?
They released this, and this is supposed to clear people, right?
Because they're saying these people are just talked about in the emails or referenced in the emails of people that didn't actually do anything.
These are just all the names that are available.
It's very clearly not true because the names that really aren't available are the names they haven't redacted, right?
unidentified
Right.
tim tompkins
So it's just a small.
And obviously you see the Sultan down in that bottom left corner.
unidentified
Right.
tim tompkins
That one was already released.
Of course, they have to add that.
I'm just really what's throwing me off is why the hell is your dad's name?
Why are they even trying to throw smoke that way?
unidentified
Right.
rex jones
Well, I think Rogan's on there too.
tim tompkins
Joe Rogan?
rex jones
Well, this is page 506, so it's not on all there, but Epstein talked about these people, right?
Oh, so just mere fact that this is just anybody Epstein ever talked about or referenced.
They say, look at that.
It's the proof.
It's the proof that it's legit.
And it's like, no, we want the unredacted files.
Want the other three and a half million files that haven't been released.
tim tompkins
Right.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
It's just the defending part.
You know?
rex jones
Yeah, it's super weird.
tim tompkins
It's just super weird.
It's like, what?
Do people just get off on that type of stuff?
It's like, or maybe they're really clouded.
I'm going to be doing.
So tonight's deep dive is going to be different.
I'm not going to be doing like the traditional deep dive because there's just too much heavy stuff.
And I'm doing a part two to the thing that I did on Thursday.
Yeah.
Because on Friday, when we have Simon Dixon on, we're confirmed for Friday.
rex jones
We're confirmed for Friday.
We're going to be taking Harrison's spot on Friday.
There was a bit of an issue where my dad filed this civil rights lawsuit on Friday and he wanted the studio time that we had, right?
So really sorry to Simon that happened.
We love Simon.
He's really our best guest that we've had all right.
So we're going to be doing that this Friday.
Yes.
tim tompkins
We will be on InfoWars.
rex jones
War Room.
War Room.
tim tompkins
We'll have Simon Dixon on for the first hour.
And then the second half, I'm going to be covering this with Rex.
We're going to be going over some of the things that we're going to be covering tonight.
rex jones
Bray Area meets InfoWars.
tim tompkins
Exactly.
rex jones
Deep dive.
tim tompkins
Deep dive.
Info Wars.
Exactly.
So I'm really excited about that.
Traditionally, and there might be people who are new in here.
When we do deep dives, guys, they're a little bit different in which, you know, I'm normally have the costume going and I'm going through some historical context, but that won't be for tonight.
So ultimately.
rex jones
Chill stream, fun stream.
Have fun with us.
It's going to be relaxed tonight.
We're going to take it easy.
We're also going to do hard-hitting information.
We're going to have a phenomenal interview tonight.
So you're going to want to stay here.
She's going to join us pretty soon.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
She's going to join us here within the next five minutes or so, actually.
rex jones
Hey, we talked real quick.
Let's just, oh, man.
And now, here's the thing: is we talked before and you're like, man, do you have anything you want to present for this?
And I was like, no, I don't know.
And I'm thinking now, I literally talk about people defending Epstein.
Michael Tracy, this Gusano, this worm, and Richard Hannia.
If you're familiar with these names, you'll know him.
These are prominent kind of like liberals online.
Michael Tracy is like a fake journalist or whatever, but he's got Epstein ties, Epstein connections.
And he's basically like, well, there's no argument Epstein was ever actually attracted to children.
If you say that, you're crazy.
The other guy's like, yes, absolutely.
That's not true.
And they're both advocates for lowering the age of consent.
You can't make that.
tim tompkins
That is insane.
rex jones
You cannot.
You can't.
tim tompkins
I'm sorry.
What do we need to go?
Is the age of consent 17 or 16?
rex jones
It's 17.
tim tompkins
Okay.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
Is there a real justification for lowering it, guys?
rex jones
Maybe for them.
Maybe they're interested in it.
You know, maybe they're interested in it for other reasons.
But it's very interesting how these people come out of the woodwork with like the worst ideas possible.
But they're like, we're saying this because we're smart and you're dumb.
Don't you realize Epstein wasn't attracted?
It's like, here's the thing: there's a photo in the file that's all blocked out.
And it's a photo of an adult porn star who looks like a little kid.
unidentified
Okay.
rex jones
So it's very, it's very obvious what Epstein is into.
And not to mention it's talked about.
Okay.
But they want to play dumb and play stupid because it's the same thing, right, with my dad's tweet and Gunther Eagleman's tweet.
It's the low-information people that are just looking for some sort of thing as to why they don't have to worry about this anymore.
tim tompkins
Right.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
No, think about that.
Totally makes sense.
And it's just like, I just sometimes I try to follow the train of thought for a lot of these people.
And maybe I'm just too logical, Rex.
It's like common sense.
It's just maybe like I'm just too much common sense and common sense has left the building here in America.
rex jones
But it's okay, you know, because Culvicular, he does the bone smashing with his face.
All you need to do is get a cordless drill and give yourself a lobotomy.
And then you'll be dumb enough to make millions of dollars.
tim tompkins
Oh, yeah.
rex jones
Then you'll be big social media.
tim tompkins
And not to get in the weeds here, I think I saw a video of him saying, like, if he eats cheese, he'll literally die because he's taking something crazy.
But that's the stuff people are enjoying.
unidentified
Right.
tim tompkins
You know, common sense has left the building.
But anyways, Ellis should be joining us relatively soon.
rex jones
Yeah, we're ready for that.
tim tompkins
One thing I want to quickly just, can we go watch that Obama clip of this alien just before?
I know it's super cool.
rex jones
Oh, aliens clip?
tim tompkins
Yeah, man.
It kind of threw me off.
The last person I would expect to be talking about aliens.
Go ahead and play that.
rex jones
Are aliens real?
barack obama
They're real, but I haven't seen them.
And they're not being kept in Area 51.
There's no underground facility.
Aliens and Censorship 00:07:25
unidentified
Wow.
barack obama
Unless there's this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States.
unidentified
What was the first question you wanted answered when you became president?
barack obama
Where are the aliens?
unidentified
Where are the aliens?
rex jones
Are aliens real?
tim tompkins
Pause it.
You can go back to us.
I mean, that's kind of like if I was president, that's the first thing I'm asking.
rex jones
Right.
I mean, I think he knows more than he's putting on there.
I think they're like, listen, if you ever tell anyone this, you get murdered immediately.
And that's the thing we talk about ultimately.
It's like the president is not the one who's the big honcho who's in charge.
tim tompkins
It's a matter of national security.
rex jones
Exactly.
It's the men in the black suits that come in and tell you how everything works.
And this is the thing with Trump.
Everyone's like, Trump's bringing back second governance Murakama.
He's the most powerful man ever in history.
He's a God Emperor.
And it's like, there are probably like 50 people more important than him.
But it's people that own the big companies, people that own the AI companies, people that own transportation companies, people like Epstein, middlemen, or the real system that works.
tim tompkins
Right.
And if that stuff could go on for quite literally two decades, I mean, just think of the mountain of things that we just, we get like little bits and pieces.
But I will say, a lot of these people in power are sweating these days because it is harder to sweep the truth under the rug.
Imagine like our parents, right?
Just believed everything that they heard.
unidentified
Right.
tim tompkins
I will say, I'll give your dad credit in terms of like, he was one of those first people that was challenging kind of on a big level the mainstream like narratives when it came to certain things.
unidentified
For sure.
rex jones
And, you know, I think he still does.
I think there's still value in what my dad does.
I love my dad.
Here's my thing.
It's like, this is what we talked about for 20 years.
And the fact that we haven't received literally all of it and public executions for anyone that was involved.
That's what we got to call for.
We're being joined now.
We're being joined now.
tim tompkins
Yes.
Ella is about to join us.
So, guys, we're going to make her feel welcome here.
This is going to be nice.
No, our people are nice here anyways.
But I mean, she's based out of Mississippi, 22.
She goes to college.
A lot of her platform, she's very much so pro-America.
She's a nationalist.
And these are things that are not bad, by the way.
Like, these are things where she has pride for her country.
And we're very proud to have people who are able to represent that.
You know, she's got a lot of things that she does outside of the space.
She's going to come on, talk a little bit about her history.
We're very curious about kind of what got her started.
So let's go ahead, Andrew.
Let's bring Ella on.
rex jones
Excellent intro, dude.
I usually do those.
I was killer.
tim tompkins
Well, you know, ad hoc there.
rex jones
That was killer.
tim tompkins
She's not added yet.
Oh, she just cut out.
Go ahead and cut back to us until she's back on.
Something keeps kicking her out every time.
rex jones
I love it.
ella maulding
Hold on, hold on.
tim tompkins
Leave it.
Leave it there, actually.
It keeps kicking her out whenever we're.
Yeah, just go back.
It might kick her out again.
Let's just see if it does that.
We're sorry if the technology is.
rex jones
It's a technical issue.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
Okay.
Keep it on this screen.
Let her come back.
We are sorry about this, guys.
I don't know what's going on with the technology.
But some of the things that she has been involved in, she very has Christian faith.
She's getting to politics, holistic health.
She's very anti-porn, and that's a very good thing.
rex jones
We're going to talk about that.
tim tompkins
Okay, awesome.
rex jones
Welcome to the show.
tim tompkins
We are sorry about that.
ella maulding
Hey, no, it's okay.
Can y'all hear me?
tim tompkins
Yes, we can hear you.
ella maulding
Okay, good.
rex jones
Southern voice to you.
I didn't know that.
ella maulding
She's from Mississippi, Deep South.
rex jones
Nice.
tim tompkins
So tell us a little bit about yourself because I'm sure there's a lot of people watching here that are curious.
Like, who is Ella?
Like, how did you start out into this whole space?
You talk very well.
You have good points.
Like, what, tell us a little bit about yourself.
ella maulding
Thanks.
Okay.
So I'm 22.
I got into politics whenever I was 17.
And it was actually mainly because of the Pizzagate stuff.
And when COVID started, my parents were like talking about Bill Gates and vaccine mandates.
And then BLM happened right after that.
And then right after that, they stole the election.
And so it was like one thing after the other.
And I just started waking up and I was watching all these documentaries about Pizzagate and got really, really interested in that and immediately just kind of felt like I had to talk about what I was learning.
Like I felt like I couldn't keep this stuff a secret.
So I just started posting on social media and I built a really big platform on TikTok.
But that's when this, the censorship was so bad on TikTok.
Like, yes, many times.
I had one account that had 300K banned.
I had another account got to like 170K banned and multiple others after that that just kept getting banned.
I was like in the Republican hype house, all those things.
We just kept getting banned.
And so I did that for a couple of years and then I took a break and I just recently got back into posting this past summer.
And I really, you know, ramped up like the anti-porn activism, like hitting cultural issues more.
unidentified
But yeah.
Okay.
rex jones
Okay.
So that's kind of what I wanted to ask you, right?
Because the Infowars ban kind of coincided with Pizzagate.
It was a few months after when they dropped on us, we got kicked off of everywhere.
So me, I was the last one on Twitter.
I was on Twitter until 2021.
I had like 77K.
I eventually got kicked off.
But now coming back this year, Elon allowed me to do it.
I didn't realize my timeline was similar to yours.
What I really wanted to ask you was about kind of the development of the new right, right?
Because you talked about being in the Republican hype house, being very talk, growing a big platform.
I really wasn't around for the COVID era.
And ultimately, me and Tim were focusing on work and other things, weren't in politics.
What was that like for you?
Was it really, like you say, the BLM, the COVID, the stolen election?
Was that that, did that all come together for you?
And you're like, I have to start talking about this.
ella maulding
Yes.
Yeah.
It was really just one thing after the other.
Cause I just, I just, I lived a very normal life.
Like I went to public school, homecoming court, all the normal things.
I just thought politics was something that was super boring.
And when all these things started happening and I was seeing it with my own eyes, I was like, oh my gosh, this stuff is like actually affecting everyone.
And then I learned about, you know, the Pizzagate conspiracy.
And I literally couldn't even believe it.
Like, and I was like, how is everyone not talking about this?
And no one was talking about it.
I mean, not around me.
No one was talking about it.
And so, yeah, but the censorship back then was super bad.
And it's gotten so much better since then.
Except TikTok, ever since TikTok has been transferred, the ownership has been transferred to a group of American companies.
TikTok is pretty much gone.
Like the censorship is so bad on TikTok again.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
And you mentioned you started in June.
It's like, so did you start from a clean slate?
Like you were like, I gotta, I gotta start all over.
Like you were never on X this entire time.
You were on TikTok and all these other platforms.
ella maulding
Yeah, I was on X.
I have been on X, but I had a pretty small platform.
I mean, I think I got to like 25K one time.
And then my account was taken down.
And then when Elon bought X, it was reinstated.
And so I started posting more.
Credible Redactions Haunt 00:15:12
unidentified
Wow.
ella maulding
But yeah, and I was always on Instagram, but I also had just a small platform.
I kind of, I really posted like health and wellness stuff a lot over the years.
And it wasn't until this past summer that I started posting politics again.
tim tompkins
Gotcha.
rex jones
That's awesome.
So with Pizzagate, obviously we've all been vindicated.
They called us crazy.
They called us insane.
They said, you think there's code words for little kids talking about pizza and grape soda and walnuts and all these things.
And then now openly in the emails.
Right.
And like, what, what's your thought on the underreaction on these Epstein files?
Because I think we should be calling for public executions, to be honest with you.
And we're not.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
ella maulding
I am glad that people, I mean, from what I see on X, it looks like people are not going to stop talking about this.
People are so enraged.
And I think our rage is like, what could save the country?
Like join together because this is like a left and right issue.
You know, it's not, it's not about sides here.
But yeah, the average person, the average person on the street is not talking about this.
And it's the same with how Pizzagate was.
And I've said this in one of my videos, but to me, it's almost like Pizzagate and what we're seeing in the Epstein files and the data sets, the stuff is so sick.
Like it is so gruesome and vile that the average person, it's really just going in one ear and out the other because they're like, there's no way that's happening because people would be doing something about it if it was happening.
But no, it's literally happening and no one's doing anything about it.
Like the DOJ is not doing anything about it.
It's so horrible.
tim tompkins
Like, here's the thing.
We're males, right?
So for us, there's a level of life experience that like we don't go through in which I'm sure like men have done certain things to every girl in some form or capacity.
unidentified
Right.
Right.
tim tompkins
Like maybe not every woman, but they've had their own personal experiences.
So when you read it, it's very different than Rex and I reading it.
What's your perspective when you go and you're looking at these files?
ella maulding
It's literally just gut-wrenching.
You know, like these crimes, I mean, like sexual assault, rape is a second-degree felony.
I mean, it is next to murder.
It's such a sick crime.
And I talk about this too with sex crimes because with sex crimes, like you're taking the most sacred, intimate act that someone is supposed to be able to have full autonomy over their body in.
And you are basically stripping them of that autonomy and perverting that sacred act and making it forceful in an act of violation when it's supposed to be an act of love and intimacy.
And, you know, the trauma that people have after rape or after like abuse or torture in these emails, I can't even imagine.
But it's, it's really sick.
It's really sick.
And it's things that will, that have probably just haunted these girls that have haunted these victims for decades now.
unidentified
Right.
ella maulding
And they've gotten no justice.
And it's really hard to have peace, you know, when you have no justice because those people are just continuing to walk free and they're literally in power.
It's horrific.
rex jones
But the Dow is over 50,000.
So what are you talking about?
My bad.
What are you talking about right now?
Like, I this don't you understand where you live, there's a legal immigrant that killed the person.
tim tompkins
Hey, look, you've got Trump derangement syndrome.
So why are we talking about this?
rex jones
Why are we talking about this?
What's wrong with that?
To that response from the administration.
ella maulding
Insane.
I think it is Pam Bondi.
She's a national embarrassment.
The fact that like the victims were sitting right behind her and she has the audacity to bring up the Dow at that time, like that is so blatantly dismissive and cruel.
Can you imagine like being victim to these sickest crimes that people can't even fathom?
And the attorney general is sitting there talking about the stock market.
Like the biggest slap in the face, the most disrespectful thing I can think of.
I just feel so horrible for them.
rex jones
Yeah.
Yeah, indeed.
And it feels like the thing we see on the right is like, well, you don't want to help the Democrats, do you?
You don't want the Democrats to get a win.
Come on, son.
You got to come in for the big win.
We got to win the midterms.
And it's like, well, what's the point of electing these people if they don't do what they say they're going to do when they get elected?
And I'm sorry, I don't like Jasmine Crockett.
I don't like Jamie Raskin.
I don't like the penguin.
I'm blanking on his name right now, but I don't like any of these senators, right?
Ultimately, if they're going to get up there and ask you a legitimate question, even if it is coupled with some VS that's politically motivated, versus the Republican, when they talk to Bondi, and you saw this too, Tim, we both commented on this.
When the Republican's like, oh, I'm so sorry for what you're having to go through right now, this circus, Miss Bondi.
Would you like to talk?
Would you like my five minutes, please?
Would you like my five minutes?
The weakness of the Republicans and the lack of a backbone are really just, you know, they're happy to do it.
What do you think about that?
ella maulding
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
I saw Owen talking about that.
How all of these Republicans are literally giving up their time, like their precious time.
They are sacrificing it, literally just keeping their mouth shut.
This silence is so loud.
Like, if you are not speaking up about this, this is like the hill to die on: protecting vulnerable people, protecting innocent people, children.
If you're under 18, you're a child.
Like, and it is just, it's mind-boggling.
It's mind-boggling.
I don't know what's going on.
It just doesn't really make sense.
And the flip-flop, how they were, they were so big on Epstein transparency and they were going to release the files in Bindergate and all of the influencers with the binders and the big smiles making a huge deal out of it for it all to be redacted.
And then they post more and they're still redacted.
Like all of the clients, all of the names are still redacted.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
And the thing was, I talked about this with Rex.
I was like, you know, I don't think any of them knew how bad it was going to be.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
It's as simple as that.
I think Trump was like, well, it's not a big deal.
And then he gets into office, somebody slides like a folder.
He says, sir, we've got all this information on you.
He's like, he's like, what?
Oh, I'm screwed.
And then he just has to gasplate at that point.
So, um, I look at the whole situation, and you know, I'm sure at some point, you're probably a Trump supporter.
I, Rex, and I voted for him twice, me only once.
I wanted him out in 2020, unfortunately.
But, you know, we had this differences of opinions.
Where are you at with him now in your personal experience?
ella maulding
Yeah, I don't know.
That's a really tough question because, you know, a lot of the stuff that says his name says it's not credible.
Or I just think that if he is actually guilty of any of these crimes, I will literally ask God for forgiveness that I supported him.
Like, I don't care who it is.
I mean, I loved Trump.
Like, I saw Trump as the, you know, archetypal figure that was going to take down the establishment and drain the swamp.
And I was back in whenever it was 2020, 2021, I was all into the QAnon stuff.
Like, I didn't post about it, but I thought it was so cool.
And I was like, oh my gosh, the storm is coming.
Trust the plan.
Trump is coming.
Trump is going to expose it all.
You know, I was like 17, but I really thought, and I think a lot of people did think that a lot of people thought that Trump was going to come in and, you know, take down these pedophiles.
People were saying it back then that pedophiles are literally like a pabal, a cabal of satanic pedophiles are running the country.
And we thought that Trump was going to take it all down.
And now it's like, his name's in it, but is it even credible?
Well, if it's not credible, why isn't he?
Why aren't they just releasing all the names of the files?
Is there blackmail going on?
I don't know.
But I'm hoping that they continue on with the transparency and that the DOJ investigates these people.
I do think we do have to give credit where it's due that all of the administrations before Trump didn't release the files.
It's like at least we got something.
That's good, but we need more.
Like, we can't settle with this for sure.
rex jones
We got smoke, but where there's smoke, there's fire.
And he's like, look at what I gave you.
Look at the smoke.
Is it incredible?
ella maulding
Yeah.
tim tompkins
I think about it this way.
I've said, this is, I said the same thing to Rex.
I said, since he was convicted in 2008, you've had now four administrations that have touched the documents.
Right.
So the thing that made it different now is that social media has become a beast on its own.
By the time you get the four-you algorithm from TikTok and all the things that come with that, it's in whatever the flavor of the month or the day is, it's in your face 24-7 to where you can't see it.
So I feel like the only reason why he released it was because of the public pressure that's coming behind it.
And in 2016, even when he had access to the files or whatever and information that was going on at that time, same with Biden.
It's like they were like, well, there's no reason for us to rock the boat because not enough people are talking about it.
Where his mistake was is campaigning on it.
ella maulding
Oh, I know.
tim tompkins
People would not have been talking about this entire situation or the Epstein files.
Where are they?
Had he just gone with the flow.
We would probably get into the next administration and this would also be but a but a whisper.
rex jones
I think it's even worse than what you're saying, Tim, because not only did he run on it, all the people in key like criminal justice positions that were appointed also basically campaigned to get themselves appointed to the positions based off their Epstein file position.
Like a one, Dan Bond, you know, Mr., I've seen the file.
He killed himself.
Or Pam Bondi, I have the files on my desk.
You know, we're going to release him.
She came with a campaign ad saying she was going to do all this stuff.
tim tompkins
I mean, what do you think about that?
ella maulding
And did y'all see the video from, you know, O'Keefe?
I think it was last year of her saying all these files, all these videos of like thousands, I don't know if she said thousands of little children.
And they, so they have to go through each one, literally saying she's seen the videos of children.
And now silence.
Now we're talking about the Dell.
rex jones
And they want to pretend that they're like, the videos are so horrible and so awful.
No one can ever look at them.
No one can ever see us in the videos.
The FBI, they have a team of people that do this specific job.
And they want to play dumb, be like, well, it's so horrible.
No one can ever see it.
It's like, no, you have people that are supposed to bring these people to justice.
It doesn't matter who they are.
And it's very clear when they say victims, at least to me, they're talking about victims of blackmail, not victims of Epstein.
unidentified
Right.
tim tompkins
And we don't know about the ones that were killed, guys.
Oh, I have seen.
rex jones
Shut up, racist.
tim tompkins
Like, if you think, like, I've seen emails where like Epstein hits up like the Russian like minister of finance very high up.
And you know how Russia deals with their people.
He's like, hey, this girl is causing an issue for one of my clients.
I need you to look into her.
I'm sure he looked into her and she's no longer existing.
rex jones
So like, he'll say whoops.
He'll be like, oh, this person did something.
Whoops.
The next email, we got beef jerky.
unidentified
Right.
tim tompkins
So like, we talk about, you know, the victims that are alive.
I mean, I don't even know the amount of people that have been silenced, let alone killed.
And that's also a big thing that there's murders that have to be investigated.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
That's the thing I haven't really seen either.
It's like, well, we could talk about the things, but it's, I guess it is harder to prove a murder when you've got, you know, infinite number of resources.
But yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
ella maulding
And like Virginia Jufre, she was a really prominent Epstein victim.
And I think she posted saying she wasn't suicidal and last year, dead by suicide.
And she was, she was naming names.
She wrote that memoir called Nobody's Girl Surviving the Abuse.
And I mean, I've talked about it so many times, said that a very well-known prime minister brutally raped her worse than anyone ever had and tortured her and got off to it.
And as she was telling him to stop, he like was aroused by that.
And on police reports, the only prime minister she pointed to is former Israeli prime minister Ahud Barak.
And he is just walking freely.
Zero investigation.
rex jones
Yeah.
ella maulding
Well, rules for beyond me.
tim tompkins
Masad did it.
unidentified
Huh?
tim tompkins
You think Mossad did it?
rex jones
Well, I mean, Robert Maxwell was buried with honors on the Mount of Olives in Israel, right?
He mysteriously falls off a boat after trying to extort the Mossad for like 3 billion, right?
Epstein then gets control of all his properties.
And who's his daughter, Jislaine Maxwell?
So to say that they're not connected is to just lie, right?
tim tompkins
That's some dark stuff, man.
rex jones
Right.
What are your thoughts just on, because of course we focus on American politics, but just globally, geopolitically, I feel like this is all a Ron Ward setup.
And we were talking about it before you joined us on the live.
There's been this list of names that was published by the DOJ as say like, we're not lying.
We're not hiding anything from you.
Gunther Eagleman has reposted it.
My dad has reposted it.
And they all have the same like canned response, right?
And it just feels to me that they're trying to give the public a win because they know that people are beaten down by life.
They're working two jobs.
They got four kids.
They're doing XYZ.
They don't have time to be worried.
So they just want to see.
They don't have to worry about this thing anymore.
What do you think about that?
ella maulding
Yeah, that's a good point, too, because it's like the whole give them bread and circuses and they will not revolt.
Like everyone is just in their own world.
You know, people are so distracted.
They don't even have the time to worry about this stuff.
Work, family, TV on repeat.
But yeah, I think it's really interesting, like with Ahud Barack.
I cover, I did a video yesterday about Les Wexner and you know, the former, what'd you say?
tim tompkins
Talk about him.
Explain who he is because he's not aired out enough.
And he's, I feel like he's like, demon.
He had the power of attorney and Epstein did all of this through him.
So explain that for people.
rex jones
Break it down.
unidentified
Yeah.
ella maulding
So Les Wexner, he is, he is the founder of El Brands, former CEO of Victoria's Secret.
Also, L Brands does like Bath and Body Works, Abercrombie and Fitch.
He's 88 now, a billionaire.
And he is also Jewish.
Just always point that out.
But so he and Epstein, I think it was 1973, their relationship started.
Tons of call and email exchanges between them.
And he granted Epstein power of attorney, basically giving him complete control of his finances.
And over time, victims have said that Epstein used Victoria's Secret and modeling opportunities as a way to lure young girls in.
And so basically with the DOJ releasing his name after Thomas Massey and Rokan has pushed for unredacted Epstein Fazeno, they went and viewed them.
They released Les Wexner as a co-conspirator.
Les Wexner Co-Conspirator 00:07:20
ella maulding
Still walking free, by the way.
I don't even know if they're going to investigate him.
I don't know if there's a trial coming up for him or anything.
There's something going on in Ohio with like a sexual assault case, but I haven't heard anything from the DOJ regarding him.
And he also gifted Epstein a lot of his properties, the biggest Manhattan property that Epstein had, which we've seen tons of pictures of.
I mean, it's like the hottest spot for the trafficking besides the island.
And then also a huge mansion in Columbus, Ohio, so close to Les Wexner's.
So it was like Epstein's and Wexner's properties right next to each other.
unidentified
Yeah.
ella maulding
And he was just walking free.
tim tompkins
And that was the thing that I found the weirdest.
Like I don't even, I didn't even need the files or the name release to even like connect the two.
I don't think most people did.
As soon as I found out, you know, ages ago, and they've done documentaries on Epstein that, you know, since the beginning, that he had power of attorney.
I think in 2019, Wexner distances himself, right?
But like, I'm just like, hold on, hold on, hold on.
First of all, just giving somebody complete control of your money and not providing justification for why you have to do that.
Now, I know you've got legal reasons of like, oh, well, I don't have to disclose that information.
I plead the fifth, but it's like, come on, like, there's no way that there's no connection there.
And there's so many years that went by.
We're just now talking about in 2025.
I've been asking people, I'm like, even since 2020, I'm like, why haven't we been talking about this guy at all?
I didn't hear his name at all in the news for the very long time.
ella maulding
Yeah, I hadn't heard his name either, not until like the last couple of weeks.
tim tompkins
See, that's the part that throws me off.
And you're not the only one.
There are tons of people who have no idea who he is.
And either he is has the best legal team and PR team to just like make sure this thing goes away.
ella maulding
Yeah.
tim tompkins
Make sure there's all this chaos over here.
So nobody's looking over here.
But like, you got to understand the only way that you know Epstein has the ability to do the jets and the Lolita and have a freaking Boeing plane is because of the money that he's made from these brands.
So while girls are going in shopping Victoria's Secret, they don't even realize that they're paying for these pedophiles.
And it's like, it's all interchanged.
The money is deeply connected.
rex jones
A little interesting caveat to that.
You know, Epstein also got transferred this from Les Wexner.
He owned the little children, little girl store just.
Did you know that?
And I always thought it was weird because I got three little sisters, right?
And one's a year and eight months younger than me.
So I would go around with her everywhere.
I always thought it was weird.
They had like 40 cameras in there.
You know, ain't that, ain't that a little odd?
You know, for a children's place, then we see, I forget who he was, but someone who owned like the database for all the children's school photos he's connected as well, all of this stuff.
What do you think about that?
ella maulding
Yeah, it's called Life, Lifetime, Life Side, or something.
tim tompkins
Does that have to do with Leon Black too?
ella maulding
Yes, Leon Black.
tim tompkins
Okay.
ella maulding
Life Touch.
Life Touch.
tim tompkins
Yep.
Explain that a little bit because I was looking into that today or something like that.
ella maulding
I don't know that much about it, but Leon Black is listed in the files with some of the sickest descriptions of like 10 and 11 year olds, like brutal, brutal sexual assaults with like objects, torture.
And like, I don't even, I didn't want to go into it.
So gross.
So gross.
Multiple girls, though.
And he's like the former head of Life Touch.
Yeah.
Life Touch, which is the school yearbook pictures.
rex jones
So I mean, we're thinking about all this stuff and to even talk about it or hear about it on the radio.
Oftentimes, like I've heard my dad break down the files on the show, and I had to like turn off the sound.
I don't want to hear this.
I don't want to have to deal with the stuff that's going through my head.
You know, and I feel like that's how everyone feels when they're like, we don't want to be subjected to this.
We want to live in a world where we think everyone's nice or, you know, has a kernel of goodness in them.
But some of these people don't.
They're not even people in the world.
tim tompkins
I think the one that most was seeing Prance, Prince Andrew standing over.
Like that, that one was the one I was like, what in the world?
Like, I hadn't really seen any of the other photos that had actually directly had something like ominous like that.
Sometimes you would see like Epstein's photos in a drawer or something like that.
You couldn't really see what's going on.
But that one, I'm like, oh.
rex jones
And Epstein is in the back.
ella maulding
Oh my gosh.
unidentified
Yeah.
rex jones
He's got his feet up on the table with what appears to be an American flag draped over the table.
And then you've got Prince Andrew on his hands and knees leering over what we believe to be Virginia Guffray.
ella maulding
It's sick.
And then I saw the last couple of days like pictures of what looks like dead bodies with a girl, a girl with like plastic bag over her head, people in cages, something about horse stalls and like an eight-year-old being in a horse stall.
Like the sickest, I can't even comprehend it.
Like, I don't even have words for how evil this is.
unidentified
Right.
ella maulding
And they're subhuman.
rex jones
And they laugh at it too.
Like Luttnick.
That's an example.
That's in our name I wanted to bring up.
Howard Luttnick, every time that Trump is at a presser and Luttnick is always posted up behind him, he's always posted up behind him in any one of these pressers.
And Epstein gets brought up, he just starts hysterically laughing, right?
And Lutnick made the claim.
He goes, Well, I was his next door neighbor, but me and my wife, we went into his house and he had a massage table.
I said, You get a massage every day.
And Epstein said, The right kind of massage.
I looked at my wife and she looked at me and we said, I'm sorry, we have to go.
And then we walked out.
And then he literally lives like nine steps away from Epstein.
He's Epstein's next door neighbor and he's in the emails in 20 in the late 20 teens going to the island.
unidentified
Yep.
ella maulding
So I just, yeah, after lying about it and saying that he cut ties.
rex jones
Yeah, I feel like people try to defend this administration because we want this administration to be what it promised to be.
Right.
And if it, if it was what it promised to be, it would be the most amazing administration in history.
If there were no wars, if America was truly back, if the PDF files or pedophiles were actually exposed, it would all be cool.
We'd be sitting here saying, ain't this great?
Ain't this fantastic?
But we're not.
tim tompkins
But I just feel like every, I think the people who are still kind of like wanting to hold on, it's like a Stockholm syndrome at this point.
rex jones
I love him.
I love Trump.
tim tompkins
It really is.
And look, I know there's people who like want to see the best in it, but like at the end of the day, like there, like you were saying earlier, where there's smoke, there's fire.
Like, there's no doubt about it that you know Trump had other things that like some things were disproven, but then there were actual ones that were proven where like he's done things to like adult women at certain points or like there were things that came out about knowing about it enough.
rex jones
That's that's that's the key.
If you knew about, and I like people use the term children or like young kids or whatever.
I like to say little ones because I think it's more powerful.
They hurt the little ones.
They hurt the little children.
Okay.
And if you know about it or know people that you're like, well, I mean, he's really rich and he's fun.
And there's adult women at the parties.
And I like the adult women, not the little ones.
Pornography's Harmful Conditioning 00:15:01
rex jones
And you're like, what are you talking about?
This guy is a monster.
ella maulding
Yeah.
No, people have just been like, people have been so conditioned to like been desensitized to this kind of stuff almost.
It's like, we shouldn't even be seeing these things.
Like, this is so sick.
And people are just see it, scroll, just keep scrolling.
Like, it's crazy.
tim tompkins
You're right.
And that's, that's kind of one of the double-edged swords about X. Like, I've seen all types of stuff I never got to see before.
I, you know, watched in my bedroom, uh, you know, a terrorist attack where like people are literally getting shot and blood's just like spewing out.
It's like you're right.
There's things that, like, you know, psychologically, we have not been exposed to for a very long time because we're no longer like Neanderthals and cavemen that you know we've kind of been sheltered from.
And I just think about it this way: there's a psychology that goes through the mind of people who actually get to certain levels of success.
It's not everybody, but you got to be somewhat like have some sort of crazy edge to become a billionaire to where you know, because often not more often than not, people are fine with just being like okay and like in a normal, yeah, you know, they're not really interested in like having the most money in the world, heights of power, you know, but you have to have a certain level of narcissism and dark traffic, like dark, yeah, some people psychopaths,
like they find that they're sociopaths and they have tendencies that allow them to climb because other people are more like naturing and caring about society, so they're not willing to like push another person down to go up.
rex jones
But that's why people are like that, and that's why we call them predators too, right?
It's because they're the predatory class of people, and most other people are normal exactly.
ella maulding
Yeah, I haven't really thought about it like that.
That's so true, though.
Like the average person normally is okay at a certain amount of money, you know.
tim tompkins
Yes.
And then you got to think about it like, okay, some of these people, like, you know, Trump inherits his money somewhat.
He's worked for it, right?
But like the family dynamic and the wealth is passed through.
But a majority of people that reach a certain level of status or wealth are like millionaires.
It's like 80-something percent are self-made.
So you know for a fact that most of it isn't just a transfer of wealth.
It's literally people climbing the ladder.
ella maulding
Right.
tim tompkins
It came from rags to riches, but to go from rags to riches, you have to have grit at the end of the day.
And I'm not lumping all the people who are at the top or have certain money doing like they're not all doing bad things.
Otherwise, society would like literally be like completely chaotic and like just desolate.
There are people the right things.
It's just the bad shows easier than the good because our brains have a tendency to actually latch off information.
ella maulding
Yeah.
Yeah.
tim tompkins
So question for you.
Like this is a little bit adjacent from Epstein, but you know, you've mentioned and Rex has told me this about the anti-you know, porn advocacy and those things.
Talk me through that.
Like where did that come from?
How does how do those things play out?
Like what is your message when you've when you've gone out and spoken about these things?
ella maulding
Yeah.
Um, you know, it does kind of tie in with everything going on right now.
That might sound a little schizo, but like reading some of the details of these assaults, you'll notice like common themes.
And like with Virginia Jufries, for instance, in the claims against Ahud Barak of her, I mean, him like getting off to her pain and stuff.
So a lot of these themes are very common, prominent themes in pornography.
And so the angle I talk about pornography from is mainly from a how it hurts innocent people.
A lot of porn is literally filmed rape and trafficking.
Porn is the number two biggest contributor to the sex trafficking industry because of how much of porn is literally filmed sex trafficking and people have no idea.
They're just clicking on it.
They think they're just watching like kinks or fantasies and no, you're literally watching crimes being filmed.
tim tompkins
So I really hit it from main ones or you're talking about is that mainstream ones like the big names like we know about like the hub and those types of ones or you're talking about very ones that are okay.
ella maulding
Oh yeah.
Pornhub, X videos, X and XX, all of them.
tim tompkins
Wow.
Explain that a little bit.
How did you end up coming to find out that information and discovering these things?
Because they're not really spoken about.
Like, no, this is the first time I've really heard of it.
I thought that's only stuff that exists on the dark market or black market.
ella maulding
Yep.
It's insane.
Pornhub has faced a lot of lawsuits, lots and lots of lawsuits in ALO, like the parent company of Pornhub, of not removing sex trafficking videos, not removing real filmed rape videos.
And they'll have people like victims will reach out to Pornhub saying, take this down.
This was literally like during trafficking and they won't take it down.
You have to go and report it like 16 times for them to take it down.
There are so many stories about it.
Girls do porn.
I don't know too much about explicitly what happened there, but it was several women, I think dozens of women that were trafficked.
And Girls Do Porn was like one of the top profiles on Pornhub.
Really, the entire thing was a trafficking ring.
And all of the men are now in jail for trafficking.
It was literally on Pornhub, literally like top performer on Pornhub.
And it's all just filmed trafficking and rape and physical abuse.
And, you know, a lot of porn is not.
I try to explain it to people, especially girls, because, you know, it's more of a male problem.
A lot of girls don't watch porn.
And I try to explain it like, I think I always thought that porn was just two consenting adults having sex.
There's no big deal.
Like whatever.
Yeah, sure, it's gross.
It's lustful.
Okay.
Like, I don't want to date someone watching that.
It's cheating.
But I never realized that like a lot of porn is not that.
It's very much sadistic and disgusting and violent and coercive and forceful and abusive.
And so I say, like, I think that a lot of the crimes that are very prominent in our culture today, like rape, domestic violence, even pedophilia, a lot of these themes are derived from pornography and from a long-term porn addiction.
Because when someone is chronically addicted to porn and masturbating, sorry to be a little explicit with my language, but like you're chronically everything we have.
unidentified
Okay.
ella maulding
Well, you know, they're literally chronically masturbating to this kind of stuff.
It's it's um conditioning your brain to fantasize about those things.
And so what happens of a 15-year porn addiction, like all think about all the people that get arrested for child porn.
Do you think they just started off watching child porn?
No.
They probably started off watching regular consenting adults have sex on pornhub.
Like, and it's, it's all just a slippery slope, all of it.
And then there gets to a point where it's like, these people literally take on these fantasies that they act them out in real life.
And like to the point that men are using it, maybe women too, are using it as a script to do horrible things to people.
tim tompkins
Where does it, where does it stem from?
Like, is it nature, nurture?
Is it something where like we're not designed for it?
rex jones
We're not designed to have this kind of access.
tim tompkins
Is it the incel-like thing where like the guy's not getting anything out of life?
And so he turns to that in order to, because I mean, you know, dating is, is an epidemic for people who are both men and women and those types of things.
Like, where is this stemming from for people to feel like that's the outlet that they need?
ella maulding
You know, I think it's really pushed in guys' faces and it's really, really sad.
And I do sympathize with them.
I think the average age that a guy is exposed to porn, a boy, is nine years old.
Like, I mean, movie websites, all the things like the nude pop-ups, all that stuff, it just starts the slippery slope into it.
And it is so addictive.
I think it's more psychologically addictive than cocaine.
So it's a very hard addiction to break.
And it's also a taboo subject.
You know, there aren't that many people talking about it.
It's kind of a weird, gross, explicit topic.
And, you know, that stigma around that.
So, I definitely do sympathize with them.
And I know that most men have struggled with it.
And so, I don't like condemn, I don't condemn men for struggling with it at all.
But I think it is important to recognize the problem and just to understand that, like, what you're doing, it's not just like a private vice.
It's not just like a me problem.
You have to look at what porn actually is and who it's actually affecting in the industry behind porn.
And it goes the same for OnlyFans.
And, um, but it's, it's not just like a, oh, it's just a me problem.
It's affecting other people.
And we can see that through porn being like one of the biggest fuelers to the sex trafficking industry.
rex jones
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think a lot of it has to do with the growth of technology.
I mean, when my dad was a kid, when my granddad was a kid, maybe they had like Hustlers Magazine or something or something like a VHS tape from an adult video store, right?
Whereas like you're 12 years old, you have an iPad with unfettered internet access like me, you're just going to see it, right?
And like, I think anyone that is like a modern age guy, like Gen Z or Millennial, that doesn't say that is just lying, right?
Like it's just out there in your face.
It's promoted to you.
And it's the parents, it's the culture, it's the government.
None of them protect the children, right?
So it's the thing as to where if you can sexualize someone when they're a minor, if you can get them to think in that way and operate in that way, not only are they going to be messed up when they're an adult, they're also probably going to be a better target for you if you're a predator trying to get them involved in something.
ella maulding
Correct.
rex jones
Right?
ella maulding
Correct.
unidentified
Yep.
ella maulding
And they prey on the curiosity because it's like every kid, you know, you go through that stage where you're wondering your hormones are going crazy.
And they prey on that.
They know that they literally market pornography to children.
You know, porn have pornhub has pulled out of like 23 states, I think, because of age verification laws.
A state will make it to where any website with at least one-third of its content being explicit or sexual in nature.
You have to have an age verification.
Pornhub just pulls out of the state completely.
It's so evident that they literally want children addicted to this filth.
tim tompkins
Well, and the barrier is: look, I know Texas has it.
I know like a lot of the southern states, Georgia has it, Florida, but you know, people have found ways around it.
A simple VPN on your phone instead of you to another state and you're right back up and running at the end of the day.
But one thing I definitely want to want to touch upon that you were kind of like leaning towards was like the exposure to it through other things.
I call it soft porn.
I have seen a lot of this on Instagram in particular.
X, I'm like my ex is cleansed.
rex jones
And you can filter pretty good.
tim tompkins
You can filter pretty good.
On Instagram, I have literally tried probably several times to just, I want my algorithm clear of thongs.
Like the only fans are the biggest culprits.
I don't know how they continue to infiltrate my feed after every time I say, I'm not interested in this.
Only show me like entrepreneur stuff.
ella maulding
Right.
tim tompkins
Show me educational stuff.
Show me basketball stuff.
That's all I care about.
I don't care about, you know, someone they're creating skits now.
rex jones
Yes.
tim tompkins
Where it's like, you think it's like the beginning of the skit is like, it's just like a regular situation or somebody's causing poon.
Yeah, that somebody's just having like a conversation.
And then you get towards the middle and then suddenly it transitions into something super sexual.
You're like, what?
And it's like to disarm you.
ella maulding
Oh my gosh.
tim tompkins
They're getting smart.
People are getting smart.
ella maulding
Yeah, it's really deceiving.
tim tompkins
But it's that it's that priming effect that I that I'm talking about when you, you know, they're not allowed.
Well, it used to be that on Instagram, it was a lot harder to get away with certain things.
Now, all girls have to do is like cover just like one tiny millimeter in order to leave up to the imagination.
It was just you weren't allowed to do that stuff at all.
And people had to cover up.
rex jones
And I always thought as a kid, like whether you're looking at something like gambling, like gambling used to be super illegal.
It used to be illegal to bet on sports.
You should be illegal to do all this stuff.
People look at you like you are crazy.
I remember making jokes about betting in high school and the teacher going, that destroys lives.
Like, that's good, right?
Like, that's that's that's here, right?
But I always thought that more regulation would come to the internet, more regulation would come to the gambling, the freemium stuff, anything where they try to get you to do the repeat transactions, whether that's attention or money, right?
And I think porn is kind of the king of the attention grabbing in that section.
Never came.
The regulation never came.
I think that was by design.
It's even more free and wild now.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
What do you think?
ella maulding
It is, it definitely is by design.
There's that whole argument too about it, like making men lazy and unmotivated.
It reduces gray matter in the brain, which is tied to cognitive function and like emotional restraint.
And it's like, if you have men, I mean, I've heard, I've just heard from so many men, like how much guilt and shame there is with porn addiction.
And it's, it's heartbreaking.
Like, I can't even imagine.
And it's just keeping these men stagnant and keeping people not caring about things.
You know, like we said earlier, everyone is so distracted by social media and TV and porn and all these things.
And no one's like fighting back.
And we need that, especially right now, like with everything we're seeing, like literally pedophiles are running the country.
We need people fighting back.
And like good men is really the answer to that, I think.
unidentified
Yeah.
rex jones
And we used to execute people.
We used to have obscenity laws.
We used to do a lot of different things.
Right.
And I'm, I'm of the opinion that if you hurt a little one, if you hurt a kid, I don't think you should go to jail or prison and protect your custody for a couple of years.
I think I like fishback solutions.
We bring public expansion.
ella maulding
Yeah.
rex jones
You know, and like people go, that's crazy.
unidentified
That's insane.
rex jones
It's like, well, you part of the problem?
There's like something's got to be done about this and it's not getting better.
What do you think?
unidentified
Yeah.
ella maulding
And like he said, like we have to make an example out of people.
You know, I was like against the death penalty because I was like, oh, well, I think it's worse to sit in rotten jail forever than just like have the quick fix and just get killed.
But really, it's about making an example.
Absolutely Heartbreaking Crimes 00:04:12
ella maulding
It's like, if you do these things, this is what's going to happen to you.
And that's why like it being public is a big deal too.
But yeah, like you commit these crimes and this is what's going to happen to you.
And it's really sad with the Epstein stuff because, you know, it's not talked about in the right wing very much.
But crimes like these are very common.
Like a lot of women and men are sexually abused when they are children by family members.
Like I think it's like, I think it's like over 80% of like sexual abuse crimes when in children are from someone they know, a family member.
It is so sick.
tim tompkins
And I've had friends where that's been the case before.
ella maulding
Absolutely heartbreaking.
Absolutely heartbreaking.
And it's like, so many of these people don't see justice because they don't go and report until they're like 15 or 16.
And it happened when they were five or and it's, it's so sad because there's no evidence or they can't do a saying exam or and like the Epstein files, this could be our time to get justice for these women and men or these boys and girls and say like, hey, you want to do these things?
unidentified
Okay.
ella maulding
Well, this is what's going to happen to you.
So just know that like it would, it would stop people from doing these things at a larger scale.
It's bigger than just the Epstein files, you know?
tim tompkins
So one thing I always get confused of, and maybe I have to do a deep dive on this.
You know, there's a thing called statute of limitations in which you can't be prosecuted after a certain amount of time.
unidentified
Right.
tim tompkins
I'm really confused with these things because some of the cases are like back in, you know, 2000, early 2000s, or even some in the 90s.
And like, I've heard people say, well, they can't be prosecuted for those things.
Some of the emails, I don't know how long they go.
Like, what, do you know what the statue of limitation is?
rex jones
I don't, I don't know.
Did you look that up for us?
I don't think there's one for minors.
I think there's one for grape.
I'm not, I'm not exactly sure how it works, right?
But it's horrible because it's permissive, right?
Like whatever it's for, it does exist for some of these crimes, right?
And it's like, well, if you evade it, you evade it.
And you don't get caught, you don't get caught.
I think we got to get rid of that in the country.
I think it's about time.
And it's like you say, with the Epstein files and about this being our time, so to speak, this is a bipartisan issue, right?
On the left and on the right, most people, I would say probably about 80% in each group, absolutely cannot even stand to think about this stuff and want these people off of the planet.
And what I'm advocating for, what I'm asking people like this back about, is really making this a common sense issue, really getting people peacefully all together, white, black, brown, red, I don't care.
It doesn't matter in the street together saying, we want into this.
We want real punishments for these crimes.
It's not a joke.
It's not a, it's not just a funny happenstance.
These are our children.
These are our family, you know, everyone, the human family, all of us together, because it is a universal thing that makes everyone normal, right?
It's like you, you care about your loved ones.
You care about your friends.
You care about your family.
Even if you don't have family, you care about your friends.
You care about the people, their children and whatnot.
And we have to recognize that there is that 2% to 3%, that predatory class that really wants to hurt those people.
tim tompkins
100%.
unidentified
Yes.
ella maulding
And a whole.
rex jones
Yeah, there's no statue.
tim tompkins
No statue of limitations for children.
rex jones
There's no statue of limitations for children.
tim tompkins
Thank God.
rex jones
That's what I thought.
unidentified
Yeah.
rex jones
Thank God.
ella maulding
Yeah, there's, oh, you go.
unidentified
You go.
rex jones
No, no, you're, you're all right.
ella maulding
Go ahead, ma'am.
I forgot what I was going to say.
Yeah, this is saying five to 20 years in most states.
I guess not for children, but I'm glad that there's not one for children because a lot of times, you know, they don't report.
And sometimes adults don't even listen to them.
Like I saw one girl tweet.
It was like, if a child tells you that they feel uncomfortable around an adult, please listen to them.
Literally.
tim tompkins
Right.
That's actually really, that actually is, it makes a whole lot of sense.
And often parents are so busy in their lives and they're just going about their day to day.
And kids say a lot of things, right?
Like sometimes you ignore the kid because he's just like or yapping on, but then there's truth behind some of the things.
And kids are very transparent in terms of they have no filter.
Solitary Confinement Debate 00:10:14
tim tompkins
They'll say the first thing that goes to their mind.
ella maulding
But right.
tim tompkins
You know, I think about this and, you know, you're not familiar with our show.
It's not very much so like from our perspective and what we try to push out there is we're very much so like we're not taking political sides.
We're very much so just calling people out no matter which side it is.
the bipart you know that the two-party system doesn't work those types of things talk about your ideology a little bit in terms of like i'm sure you've shifted over time coming from the age of 17 being exposed to this where you know maybe not everybody was consuming political content versus where you are right now do you feel like there's been any pendulum swift in terms of things you used to hold on to and then now you believe something else Yeah,
ella maulding
well, initially, whenever I started getting into politics, I would say I was more like libertarian, neoconservative.
I just, I didn't know very much.
And then about a year in, so I was about 17 then.
So when I turned 18, I started watching some other commentators and learning more.
And I would say I went a little more like authoritarian in my like political compass.
And besides that, like, I guess my passions have changed a little bit.
I used to love talking about LGBTQ and abortion and BLM and stuff like that.
And now I really like to talk about immigration.
That's kind of like my favorite thing, plus the anti-porn stuff.
Two very different issues, but those are my favorite things to talk about.
I like to talk about foreign affairs some.
But yeah, I think just like getting older and seeing what I think is really impacting the country.
And I think immigration is like the number one thing.
So I talk about that a lot.
But I would say I've gone further right wing over the last several years since initially becoming political.
tim tompkins
And is the Biden administration is what kind of shifted you in terms of that or kind of like believing in Trump and the things that have that he ran on during that time period?
ella maulding
I would say more believing in Trump and the things he was running on, like how he came out of the gates in 2016 and just the things people were talking about that radicalized me and learning more just about history and stuff.
It just showed me a lot.
rex jones
Well, I think there is something positive that can be said about Trump, right?
Even if we're very disappointed, I'm very disappointed.
I wouldn't vote for him again.
And I'm just, I'm really disgusted in the administration.
But at the same time, we know what we wanted, right?
And just because we're not getting it doesn't mean we didn't know what we wanted.
We wanted peace through strength, want to enter the wars, wanted American prosperity, money here, lower inflation, and we wanted the PDF, right?
So even if he's a failure, even if his administration doesn't deliver, we know what to demand from the next candidate.
And maybe that next candidate won't be so politically entrenched.
There's always been this argument of, well, he's not a politician.
He supports me.
He's going to fight for me.
He's not a politico.
But he seems to be the greatest politician that's ever lived at the same time, right?
Right.
Like he won two non-consecutive terms.
He remade the Republican Party in his own image.
He completely took it over.
He is the new Reagan now.
And he took that Reagan deal.
So for people to say, like, oh, like he just, he's having a hard time figuring things out.
I think he figured out things perfectly fine.
I think we were right in our initial assumption of not wanting a politician to do that job, just wanting a real human to do that job.
Even if he's not that, do you have hope that we're going to find another candidate that could possibly fill his shoes and do something greater?
ella maulding
I really hope so.
I think they're going to run with JD Vance, aren't they?
Isn't that what's happening?
tim tompkins
Yeah, you're probably going to be able to do that.
rex jones
I think Rubio is going to win the nomination.
That's my prediction.
Rubio is going to be GOP nominee in 2028.
tim tompkins
I think the Republicans lost 2028.
Dave Lawrence, I think the division that happens so quickly and the degradation of the fact that you've got two clear fractions where you've got people who are on the very conservative side, very MAGA, then you've got like just the traditional Republicans and that side.
There's been a tension, and then you just look at the Democrats, as much crap as you can give either side.
One thing you do have to give the Democrats credit for, and people will give me shade for this, is at least they're united on something and they defend each other.
Yeah, they do.
You're not going to see Obama trashing, you know, AOC, you know, even though they're not going to agree on everything.
ella maulding
So, right.
tim tompkins
So, like, I look at it like, okay, well, Trump is going to trash every MPV.
You know, MGT, he's just going to trash her, kick her out.
But, like, there's a level of diplomacy that needed that needs to come back to the presidency that I think we've been missing for some time, including when Biden basically deteriorating in real time.
And like, you just couldn't understand what he was saying.
I just hope the next candidate just kind of like redefines what America looks like from the outside perspective to the rest of the world.
I think we need to back to being the right on the right side of history.
unidentified
Yeah.
ella maulding
And Trump's polls, like, I'm pretty sure are tanking.
And I think the Epstein stuff alone could literally cost Republicans the midterms and potentially the next presidential election.
I mean, this is this is people still to dial.
Like, it's not just me and it's left and right.
People are so sick at what we're seeing, and it's completely valid.
And so, if they are going to be like hiding this stuff and the DOJ isn't going to prosecute, they're going to lose.
Like, it's just that simple.
unidentified
Yeah.
rex jones
And they, so it's my bad.
tim tompkins
No, go on.
ella maulding
I was going to say, it's sad.
It's sad because we only have four years potentially, right?
Because until liberals take over again, and Trump's already pulled out of Minneapolis and he's just like completely bowed down to the left there, which is really upsetting to me.
I think they only arrested like 4,000 people in Minneapolis and already pulled out.
And it's just mind-blowing to know how many.
I think Clinton, it was like he deported 12 million people.
Bush deported 12 million people.
Obama deported like 8 million.
Biden, maybe 4.
We're not even close to that.
And the uprise that's happening.
And it's like, we're not even going to get our mass deportations.
We're not going to get anything.
rex jones
The thing is, if you want the people gone, then make it illegal to hire them, arrest people that are actually hiring them.
Oh, wait, Trump works in hospitality and those are all his friends.
So the immigration enforcement, like, I'm against it.
Okay.
I'm against American citizens getting shot.
Oh, he's a terrorist.
He's a terrorist.
Whatever.
Okay.
Ultimately, take a guy's gun from him.
You shoot him when he's face down.
I can't support that.
I was raised to be pro-Second Amendment.
I can't support that.
That guy was carrying legally.
At the same time, you're not even doing the job that ICE is supposed to be doing.
You're not even getting the people out of there in significant numbers.
It's just done to be a failure.
Like that, that's how I look at this whole administration: everything is a designed failure.
It's as bad as it can be on every single subject, on every single topic.
And then if you point it out and say, hey, this is bad, I don't agree with this.
They go, shut up.
You work for the Democrats.
You were a Democrat hoax.
You are a liberal.
XYZ is like, no, we're People that actually voted for you, but then there's this contention of the rich donors and the boomers that are like, This is what we wanted all time.
And that's who he seems to make friends with, whether it's Marjorie Taylor Greene, whether it's my father, whether it's Thomas Massey, anyone you can name that's actually somewhat for real and backed Trump from the beginning and was Trump's friend and wanted him to win and campaign for him at XYZ.
He turns against them the most.
He goes against them the hardest versus someone like Lindsey Graham, who ran against him, who's never Trumper, never Trumper.
Those are the people that he wants to be friends with.
And I think that's the narcissist.
I think that's the pathological need to be liked.
That's what I see.
What do you think about that?
ella maulding
Yeah, it literally doesn't even make sense to me.
I don't even understand it.
Like, I don't know if there's blackmail going on, but all of the people that would have died for Trump, like literally, and he's siding with the people who literally ran against him and did not support him.
And I hear Owen talking about this all the time.
Like all of the January 6th political prisoners, like think about that, like how let down these people are.
Like, yeah, he released them, but they should be getting like reparations.
We should have a national holiday for these people.
And he's literally turning against everyone that's been with him forever.
It's really sad.
rex jones
I know a lot of those people.
They're not doing really good.
I mean, a lot of these people were put in solitary for years.
tim tompkins
For years?
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
rex jones
They were put in solitary for years, six-month period, something like that.
I know a guy, Joe Biggs, I think he got 37 years, something like that.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
You know, at that time period, I've got, I've got like different opinions on that.
I'm not necessarily like they deserve to go into jail that long and all those things.
I don't think the crime justified or whatever you could consider crime, whatever they're convicted of to justify that level of punishment when you've got so many other things and people who are doing worse things and not being punished for those.
But I will say, it's just, it's just sad that we take these things and we make them political issues rather than just looking at it objectively.
Like, look, like your dad, for example, the billion-dollar lawsuit and the things that go with that.
It's like, where is the level of threshold?
rex jones
Yeah, where's the justice for the actual victims?
You know, people like people that have been trafficked, people that have been abused, where there's exactly they don't, they don't exist, but they'll come after one person who they declare is bad.
And then because they hang that one person or put their head on its bike, that means that we're all winning together as a society, right?
And ultimately, they come after people, whether they're good, bad, or a mixed, they come after people that are bothering them or a threat to their system in some ways.
Never the people that are actually in the system that get in trouble.
Justice Elusive 00:12:08
unidentified
Yep.
ella maulding
Yeah.
They, they, they hold like all of this weight with something like J6 and the DOJ.
They surely investigated that and made sure everyone went to jail.
But when we're dealing with pedophiles and potential cannibalism and child sacrifice, and Pete has mentioned 911 times, FBI code word for a girl.
Don't worry about that.
We're going to move on from that is what they tell us.
That's, it doesn't, I don't even, I can't.
I can't.
I don't even have words for it.
rex jones
It's crazy.
ella maulding
It's so backwards.
rex jones
It's designed to break your brain.
It's designed to be something that you can't talk about.
And that's, that's the goal with all of this.
That's the goal with the whole modern age.
There's so many things going on at such a rapid pace, rapid speed, at rapid time that you cannot comprehend it.
And then they comprehend it.
They understand it because they're running a program on you.
tim tompkins
And she just got kicked out.
rex jones
Oh, no.
tim tompkins
It's okay.
We'll let her join back.
There she goes.
Okay.
ella maulding
Can y'all hear me?
tim tompkins
Yeah, we can hear you.
Okay, cool.
Oh, dropped again.
What is going on?
unidentified
It's a problem with us.
tim tompkins
Is it a problem with us?
ella maulding
I can't hear y'all.
tim tompkins
Hello.
unidentified
Hello.
rex jones
No.
tim tompkins
Let's see what's going on.
I don't know what just happened.
unidentified
give us a second okay what let me let me uh let me text her real quick i think what she needs to do is completely exit out of the app altogether now i wonder maybe she's doing on a phone she is yeah i think that's probably the the issue i think she's going to come back i just realized that i don't know where the mail key is now i'm like oh no What do you mean?
rex jones
Like, I went to get something out of the mailbox.
I don't know where the mail key is.
So I'm going to, after our interview, I'm going to scurry out of here for five minutes.
I'm going to try to look for it.
But really phenomenal.
You know, I really like her.
And this is what we need to see more of is ultimately whenever you see people talk about politics, someone that's like 40 years old going, I can't get messed for the country.
Or someone that's 60, like, this is what's right.
Ultimately, it's us.
It's the people in our 20s, 30s, 40s, whatever, that still, you know, have a lot of decades left to live in this country, right?
And a lot of the times, people that broadcast these political opinions to us, they're going to be dead in 20 years, right?
So I like seeing young people broadcast their opinions.
I think she's got a really strong voice and a really strong platform.
And it's that bipartisan thing of, right?
Like, maybe we don't all agree on the same things, but when it comes to the core issues, when it comes to things that really matter, like protecting children, we're all united on that.
I think the country is united on that, Tim.
tim tompkins
And, you know, it's very interesting.
You see, like, I've already talked about I'm center, center, right.
You're center.
Sometimes you're right, sometimes you're left.
rex jones
I'm more left now.
tim tompkins
You're more left now, right?
But it's like, you know, someone like her.
Can you hear us?
rex jones
I can hear her.
tim tompkins
I can hear her.
Oh, okay.
Just leave it on this, Andrew.
I don't know what's going on when it kicks her out.
Let's just leave it on this screen for a little bit and just see if we can get it.
Sorry about the issues, guys.
rex jones
The software.
tim tompkins
Software is always bug out at certain points.
This is the first time we've had that with a guest.
ella maulding
Okay.
Can y'all hear me?
tim tompkins
Yeah, I can hear you.
ella maulding
So I have no idea what happened.
unidentified
Okay.
tim tompkins
No one.
unidentified
Shut off.
tim tompkins
Okay.
rex jones
You're all good.
unidentified
Okay.
tim tompkins
Guys, back.
Can people in the chat hear her?
Okay.
Can we go ahead and message and comment on that real quick?
Also, chat is just either very attentive or they're very quiet.
rex jones
I think it's also broken.
Yeah.
I think the chat is also broken.
tim tompkins
No, people have been messaging.
rex jones
Well, I know it comes in in drips and drabs, but how many people are we at right now on the live?
How many people?
Yeah, we definitely have more than this.
tim tompkins
But anyways, let's make sure that people can actually hear her.
Okay.
ella maulding
Yeah, testing.
tim tompkins
Can you hear me?
rex jones
I think we're good.
What do you think about the future of young people in politics like yourself, like us, people that got a lot of skin and time in the game, so to speak?
We're going to be here for a while.
These boomers, they're not.
All right.
My grandparents are boomers.
I love them.
I'm not racist against the boomers.
I'm commonly accused of being, but at the same time, these are the people that have voted us into the situation that we all now have to deal with after they're gone.
What do you think is the consciousness of the young people like yourself, like us?
Do you think that Gen Z is really politically motivated?
ella maulding
I do.
I really do.
I think that Gen Z is like moving further right too.
And people are angry and fired up.
And I think people are going to be infiltrating the systems, like people that aren't, you know, just normal people, like that are just going to college.
They're going to infiltrate the institutions.
And I think that really is the answer.
It's the slow infiltration.
And that's how we're going to take the country back.
And of course, everyone that is like speaking about these things, like me and you and InfoWars and different people, there's a place for that too.
Cause, you know, we're like riling these people up.
So I do, I do have hope.
I do have hope.
I'm not like blackpilled completely.
I'd say it's going to be a slow and steady infiltration to take the country back, you know?
tim tompkins
Here's how I see it.
Because I'm a guy from New York.
I'm from Connecticut, Massachusetts, very Democrat.
Like I was like 95% of black people vote Democrat.
So like I was in the sauce.
And minus the whole 2020 awakening and the COVID vaccine and what made me push.
I had a lot of people who were also in that Democrat bucket.
And, you know, when the Biden administration did all of those different things, you're right.
It did push a lot of people right.
But what I'm seeing, I don't, I see a large population of people who have been pushed right, but they're not going like fully right because of everything that's even happening here.
And for me, I am also in that camp of people who's like, okay, I went from left and I was like, I was pretty conservative, like probably like a year and a half ago before Trump kind of got in.
And I was like, I'm not for this illegal immigration.
This is one big issue.
Why are we sending money to Ukraine?
I believe in all that stuff.
But then as I had the stuff that I'm seeing that the Republicans are doing, I'm getting whiplash from this side.
And a lot of us have now shifted just like either dead center or you're like dead right center and maybe a little left, but you're not moving on either side is what I'm saying.
rex jones
I want to step on that point a little bit because it is such a good point.
I call myself a centrist now, but I'm a centrist in the position that I take from the left and I take from the right.
Like I'm radically pro-life.
I believe life starts at conception, but I don't believe that you should be expected to pay for health care, housing, food, stuff like that.
If you're going to have a kid and we're going to be pro-life and do these things, the state needs to help out.
And to say that's unreasonable, I just, I don't think it's a coherent belief, just in the same way that I'm pro-gun, right, for everybody.
So what do you think about this?
ella maulding
Yeah, I actually agree with that.
And people will call it liberal, but I think that our tax dollars should actually go to helping our people.
And like the less fortunate in Mississippi, we're the poorest state in the country.
I mean, there's homeless people everywhere.
There's so much poverty.
And it's really sad that we pay all these taxes and we could be really helping these people.
And instead, we are sending all of our money to foreign countries.
But yeah, they're kind of like isolating young people and people are really confused, like left, right, left, right?
Well, because everyone is just evil, like especially with the Epstein stuff that we're seeing now.
It's really, really confusing people, I think.
tim tompkins
That's why it's really sad.
The labels out of the equation.
rex jones
I agree.
tim tompkins
Like that, that's the biggest thing that bothers me is like, I'm like, we use them because that's the, that's what we were educated at a very, that's all we've ever.
So it's like for you, like, I'm sure like you've, you've, you've like, you've explained to us like your positions and things like that.
And some of them could be on that right wing and like, okay, I may not agree with everything, but like I'm still able to have a healthy level of dialogue with you to where like we're respectful of each other.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
Things that like, I'm like, oh, she's hitting the nail right on the head.
And some of those things might just come from a left leaning, but really, it's not really a left or right leaning.
It's also common sense thing of like, what's just right from wrong, wrong from a human perspective that we kind of just miss and realize that like you compromise your human and moral values just to be inside of that and feel like you're tribal because humans are tribal.
That's actually why we have those systems because you need to feel a part of a system of a team.
rex jones
Yeah.
100%.
unidentified
Yeah.
ella maulding
Yeah.
And they keep betraying us.
It's like we're, we're dying on these hills for them.
And then it's like what happened with Marjorie Taylor Greene and Trump.
It's just really sad.
Like people who have done everything for him.
And now he's just completely turning his back.
rex jones
100%.
I like to say we need to get, we need t-shirt.
Okay.
You don't make money off t-shirts.
It's an incredibly product, but not an elephant, not a donkey.
I'm a human being.
Okay.
That's good.
I think I've been saying this for a few weeks now.
tim tompkins
You know what, Rex?
You might be on to something.
rex jones
Yeah, seriously.
Not a donkey.
I'm not an elephant.
I'm a human being.
I'm an American.
I care about other human beings and other Americans.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
I'm actually going to look into this.
rex jones
Yeah, for sure.
tim tompkins
For sure.
unidentified
Yes.
tim tompkins
I want to actually get a couple of shirts like that.
If anybody in the audience is interested in something like that, please let us know.
Damn.
rex jones
Yeah.
I mean, it's the truth, man.
And that's what they want to push on us.
And we made fun of the liberals for years.
It's ha ha, stupid liberal.
You have no argument.
The left can't meme.
The right is superior.
We have the real ideas, blah, blah, blah.
And then you see the cat turd, right?
You see the Gunther Eagleman.
You see the insurrectionist Barbie.
Like you see these people on X and other places.
And it's what a Libtard is.
It's a conservator.
ella maulding
Yeah.
rex jones
But that's because they push the party line.
And the thing that's so disgusting about Trump and about the new Republican Party or the MAGA rebrand, whatever you want to call it, is it actually does come from a legitimate place of people actually wanting a better country and a better life that's divorced from that duality and right.
But he's been able to marry that into the political system.
And that's the real Pied Piper thing that really scares me about just what we're dealing with now is I know the younger people, because we see the polling numbers, Trump's polling numbers, young people are just going, but anyone that's mid-age or older, I'm afraid they're going to keep falling for the psyop.
Like they want to wear, you know, the Trump trucker hat.
They want to wear the FAFO shirt.
They want to do these things.
And it's just like you're slitting your own wrists in a bathtub and you're happy about the color that's coming out.
You're like, this is cool.
It's red now.
That's how I see it.
ella maulding
Yeah, 100%.
And they're just clinging to these ideas.
Like I was at the rodeo the other day and our congressman, Michael Guest, like came out and started speaking.
And he was just like, God, guns and freedom, like something, Second Amendment, Second Amendment, Second Amendment.
And I'm sitting there and I'm like, you haven't said a word about the Etsy files.
Like I, this is just beyond me.
People, all these Republicans are clinging to, you know, the talking points that everyone talks about, whether it's like abortion or guns and like, yeah, sure, these things are important, but we have much more important things at hand here.
rex jones
It's all down.
ella maulding
And it's just, it's really showing a lot of people are showing their true colors.
A lot of politicians are.
tim tompkins
Question for you would be outside of this.
Like, what do you, what does Ella want out of life?
Like, what do you see like down the line, 10 years, five years, whatever it is?
Politicians Showing True Colors 00:10:13
tim tompkins
Like, what is your ultimate like satisfaction if you feel like, okay, if I did this with my life, I would be satisfied?
ella maulding
Yeah.
I would just say like obeying the Lord's calling for me, whatever it is.
I definitely want to have a lot of kids.
Like that's kind of my number one priority.
I want to have a lot of kids and I want to have an impact.
I think that God has given me incredible testimony that I can use to help people.
And I'm really passionate about the anti-porn stuff.
Would love to continue on with that.
Whatever that looks like, I have no idea yet.
But right now, I'm just speaking my mind in school with my family.
I just do normal things.
But yeah, I would love to get married, have a lot of kids, continue doing activism to an extent.
Yeah.
Does that answer?
rex jones
100%.
That's phenomenal.
That's really beautiful.
We just, we talk about young people on this show and what we want out of the future, what we want out of our country, because it's our country too.
It's not just the old people's country.
unidentified
Yeah.
rex jones
It's about what God wants for us.
We're all on a journey.
We're all on a path of figuring that out and trying to walk with the Lord, no matter how horrible we are at doing it.
And I'm real bad at doing it, I'm just going to be honest, but aren't we all?
We have to realize that there is a creator, that we are created in the image of God, and that ultimately this is why you can't do things to little ones is because you're supposed to see Christ and yourself and every single person, young or old, that you see ever.
And somewhere along the line, that has broken for these people.
Right.
So I think whether it's the anti-porn testimony, whether it's the Epstein files testimony, whether it's just you talking about these issues from, you know, a new post-duopoly perspective, I think you are doing really good and really powerful work.
Where can people find you?
Where can people see you?
ella maulding
Thank you.
rex jones
Where can they go to find you?
ella maulding
You can follow me on X.
It's Ella Malding.
And then my Instagram is Ella Marizzle.
E-L-A-M-A-R-I-Z-Z-L.
And then same for my TikTok.
I have a YouTube.
I don't post that much.
X and Instagram are my two main platforms that you can follow me on.
rex jones
Awesome.
Awesome.
We're going to try to throw that up here right now.
We're going to throw up your profile real quick.
tim tompkins
Just going to send this to you now so you can throw that up there.
rex jones
But seriously, thank you for being here with us tonight.
It means a lot.
We always like to say, thank y'all.
You're more than welcome to come on the show anytime.
You should let us know.
But we have the best guests.
We have the most phenomenal guests like you've never seen before.
Seriously.
The guests that come on.
I'm very proud of what the gray area has become.
And it's me and Tim working together.
Tim works so hard on the back end, on the tech end.
We've got King Andrew and King Damon on the producer team working in real time alongside with us.
And in really a short period of time, because you talked about just getting back into the mix of things recently, in really a short period of time, kind of the same period of time as you, we've been able to grow this thing into something legitimate.
And we're really proud to be here with you today.
And we hope to be on air with you again soon and others like thank y'all so much for having me.
tim tompkins
Last thing I want to say is I know you mentioned at the beginning, like when we were just kind of testing and making sure everything was going to go good, you were nervous because you were kind of outside of this space and you're like, this is the first time I'm getting back into this live stuff.
rex jones
Going live.
ella maulding
Yeah, I haven't done the live stuff in a while.
Like I used to when I was younger, but in a while.
tim tompkins
Honestly, you're good.
Like you got it.
rex jones
You're got it.
ella maulding
Thank you.
tim tompkins
Very comfortable.
I'm sure a lot of the people in the audience liked you.
rex jones
That's right.
tim tompkins
Supernatural.
Like you, you can't out of the park.
You shouldn't ever feel nervous about going on air because you have the ability to actually speak and people need to hear your message.
rex jones
100%.
ella maulding
Thank you.
That means so much.
Thank you.
Confidence booster.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
ella maulding
Well, I had so much fun.
Thank y'all so much for having me on.
tim tompkins
All right.
Take care, Ella.
rex jones
Thank you for being here today.
unidentified
Yes.
ella maulding
Y'all too.
unidentified
All right.
Thank you.
rex jones
Phenomenal.
Another phenomenal guest in the books.
Always great.
Always.
tim tompkins
W Ella in the chat from Nimrod.
rex jones
W Ella from Nimrod Pod.
I'm going to go run and check on the mail key because I'm going to be splitting bullets about that.
I may have really messed up here.
I hope I didn't leave it in the thing.
tim tompkins
That would be horrible.
You guys get to sit here with Tim Solo.
Solo, solo show, Tim on the gray area.
So, you know, with these things, very interesting.
I didn't know what to expect.
You know, I get nervous because you never know what people are going to say and how it fits into the show.
And our belief is not into censoring or picking particular sites to be able to allow people to have conversations and exclude people.
I mean, it's all about conversations.
And like I said with her, like we are finding that we agree on more than we disagree, you know?
And it's very interesting to see like she's, Rex, you're 23, 20.
Yeah, you're 23.
She's 22.
It's like, I'm only, I'm 27.
Like, guys, this is the next wave.
Like this, like by the time, you know, if you think about it, by the time like we're your dad's age, like these, we're the voices trying to carve out the new narrative in society.
Like, it's super important.
rex jones
I think it speaks to also the urgency of the situation and the acceleration that we've seen events take place over the recent span of time.
Things are happening faster and faster and faster, and they're happening with more force and more force and more force.
So, if you're a young person, and you realize that, and you realize not only are these things happening, but our world is getting materially worse.
We're the first generation, Tim, that's going to have it worse off than our parents.
tim tompkins
Oh, I agree.
Definitely.
rex jones
If you think about that, you think about the situation that that's put us in against our will, against our consent.
We never asked for any of that, right?
We just wanted to be normal Americans, live in a free society.
But turns out they're all satanic devil worshipers who like to hurt little ones.
Okay.
So, that's ultimately why we do the show is because the people that rule us, people that make the laws, people that take all this money, they are not legitimate.
All right.
We may be flawed.
We may be abused by the system and by society and by these things that Ella talked about, like pornography and XYZ.
Even if we're flawed people, we have to come forward and say, Hey, if we're damaged from the system, if we're messed up from the system, we don't want the same for our children because we know how bad it is, right?
And I think that's the thing that unites us, whether we're young or middle-aged, like if you've got kids or you're going to have kids and you want a better world for them, the time is now.
tim tompkins
And 100%.
rex jones
Yeah, what do you think?
tim tompkins
100%.
And, you know, we've got more lined up for you guys here.
We're not done.
Like I said, tonight's deep dive is a little bit different.
We will get, I will get back to traditional deep dives.
rex jones
We're working on something for Friday.
tim tompkins
But for Friday, like, I'm really just trying to make sure that we feel comfortable with what we want to talk about on Friday because it's very important.
So you guys are going to get a sneak peek.
I've talked about some of this stuff on Thursday, but when you look at the upstream files and a lot of people talk about them, we talk about the people.
We talk about the names on the list, people that are being shown, but not a lot of people think about the higher level arguments when you think about, okay, well, what is this person connected with?
We just say, well, Joe Schmo is part of, you know, this CEO of this company and he has this share in this company.
And it's like, well, what does that really mean?
Right.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
And at the end of the day, you got to look at it.
And a lot of these people hold high levels of power that actually influence the day-to-day activities of everybody in America.
And not just that on a global level.
Like you and I get affected by the decisions.
So it's like, if a person can go and do these things to a girl, then what other things are they doing that have economic influence where they're selling out the people?
rex jones
And they don't even care about the other thing.
Like, well, look, I literally am barbecuing a baby.
Why do I care if these people's taxes are going to go up and their life is going to get worse?
I'm a cannibal.
You know, I'm in me.
I'm eating human meat.
tim tompkins
100%.
rex jones
So like, that's what she talked about too with the desensitization, Tim, right?
It's like, oh, like, you don't realize like, oh, this is really messed up.
I'm getting off on watching someone who was illegally filmed at the end of the day, like going through something against their consent.
And, you know, maybe the PDF files ain't such a big deal.
Right.
tim tompkins
And if you think about the people that are in power that are on these lists, they become desensitized to decisions.
You know, they get elected, they get put in positions, and then you're trusting that that person's going to make the right decisions on behalf of the people, the greater good of society.
But if you're already down the rabbit hole of like doing that type of stuff, then you're desensitized to making better decisions and you're just going to be selfish.
rex jones
And it's not only that.
I just said this thought, but it's very true.
It's not only that.
It's the fact that the class of people that are around you that are also committing these acts that have achieved the heights of power, they're your biggest fans.
And I think that's what's happening with Trump, right?
It's like all he gets is positive reinforcement from these donor class people.
unidentified
Right.
rex jones
At the end of the day, like, yes, sir, you're doing an amazing job.
It's like, well, maybe I am doing an amazing job.
If everyone's telling me I'm doing good, then I'm doing great.
tim tompkins
Yeah, right.
rex jones
What do you think?
tim tompkins
Just shower me and tell me I'm doing good.
rex jones
Exactly.
That's basically what Trump's got to praise Kink, ladies and gentlemen.
That's pretty awesome.
unidentified
Yeah.
rex jones
Tell me how fantastic I am.
Tell me how wonderful I am.
Like, that's that's Donald Trump.
So I think even here's the thing.
Even if he isn't, let's let's let's say he isn't a purple people eater.
Let's say he isn't, you know, a diddler or whatever.
Even if he just knows about it, he still wants to be liked by the people that did it.
And it's like, what?
tim tompkins
Tell me, I'm good, Donna.
Tell me I'm getting him.
unidentified
All right.
rex jones
It's too much.
unidentified
We can't do it.
rex jones
We can't do it.
It's gross because it's true.
Oh, no.
unidentified
Oh, no.
Too good.
Okay.
tim tompkins
So let me let me focus here.
rex jones
The second she leaves, man.
We just go to 11.
tim tompkins
Degenerate.
Yeah.
Anyways, don't send the black trucks.
unidentified
We're good.
rex jones
Yeah.
No black helicopter, please.
tim tompkins
Anyways, you know, let me get my bearings straight.
So the guy I want to talk about tonight, we've talked about other people.
Leon Black: The Man Behind Apollo Global 00:14:36
tim tompkins
We talked about the Sultan.
We talked about a couple other people that were doing some pretty heinous stuff, to be honest.
unidentified
Yep.
tim tompkins
So tonight we're going to talk about a little man called Leon Black.
And you were also very much so hinting at this guy over and over again on the previous video.
rex jones
I saw what he did.
No, I was like, whoa, right.
tim tompkins
And he's right.
Like the stuff that he's done and the control that he has and the power.
I'm like, how is this guy allowed to have this much?
rex jones
Get the bastard on the screen.
Let's look at this guy.
tim tompkins
Yeah, let's go ahead and pull up this guy's face.
Okay.
rex jones
Look at this person.
Would you like this person babysit your children?
tim tompkins
Look at him.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
It's it's pretty it's pretty surreal.
And uh, you know, you remember I said like the sultan doesn't even really look like uh you know he would be doing these things.
This guy is exactly who I expect him to be just by face value.
So let me let me uh get my bearing straight here.
But basically what you need to know about this guy, Leon, he's all about power, influence, and proximity, right?
He's a billionaire investor.
He's the co-founder of a group called Apollo Global Management, and it's one of the largest private equity firms in the entire world.
Okay.
And that's very important because Apollo is managing billions of dollars, right?
Approaching a trillion, actually.
So the money comes from public pension funds, retirement systems, university endowments.
You're talking insurance companies, you name it.
Like that's where they're managing your money.
And this is the guy managing the money.
He's the co-founder.
He's helped create this system.
And so when Apollo moves capital, it's not abstract.
It's something that actually hits the markets.
It affects teachers.
It affects pensions, retirement accounts, insurance policy holders.
And Apollo doesn't just buy stocks, it buys companies.
And companies are what run America itself.
I've always stated this, and it's very important that people understand: America and the world is now not run corporatized, it's corporatized because they have influence in our government because they can lobby, right?
Right.
So when they go into these companies, they basically add debts, they cut costs, they sell assets, and that affects a ton of things.
So let's go ahead and pull up this video, this YouTube video.
It's the one that states, let me just get my bearings straight here.
It's the one that starts at 238 that explains.
Actually, no, sorry.
Let me correct myself.
We're going to watch the one that talks about who is the Apollo group.
Okay.
And then we'll go into Leon Black specifically.
But let's go and start with that video and start from the beginning.
unidentified
The exegesis red box sat in a jacuzzi.
tim tompkins
Yeah, let's go ahead and go full screen with this guy.
coby hunter
Red box, sat in a jacuzzi, had an ADT protect your home, driven through a Carl's Jr., bought craft supplies at Michael's, stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge, enjoyed games at Chuck E. Cheese's, taken a cruise on Norwegian Cruise Lines, gotten protein from GNC, had your ears pierced at Claire's.
watched a movie at AMC, hit the slots at Caesar's, or shopped at Sprouts.
You've interacted with Apollo Global Management's massive investment portfolio.
And these are just some of Apollo's.
tim tompkins
Okay, let's zoom in on this a little bit.
Let's start from the like the first, like first half on the left here because I just want to look at some of these.
These are the companies that they've invested in.
Okay.
rex jones
Moment of Hexion.
Oh, I haven't even heard of Resolution.
Claire's, yeah.
tim tompkins
Isn't that where girls get their ears pierced and stuff?
rex jones
Yes, indeed.
tim tompkins
That's crazy.
rex jones
Yes, indeed.
tim tompkins
Keep going down.
Ralph's Zales.
Wow.
rex jones
Carlos Jr.
tim tompkins
Not the Burgers.
rex jones
Yeah, the Burgers are the most guilty.
tim tompkins
Not the Burgers.
rex jones
Incredible Health Food.
tim tompkins
Keep going to the right there.
Okay.
We've got media.
Oh, that's a big one.
AMC.
rex jones
Caesars Palace.
So casino ownership there.
Cruise Liners.
You got Riddle Car Companies.
You've got food supply companies.
tim tompkins
That's insane, dude.
rex jones
You got hotels.
tim tompkins
You got hospitality.
Crazy.
rex jones
You got Georgia Pacific, got energy.
tim tompkins
Scroll over a little more.
Let's see what else is here.
Okay.
So, like, pretty much.
rex jones
Everything.
tim tompkins
And keep in mind, guys, you've never heard of a lot of these names.
Okay.
This is where I nerd out just a little bit.
rex jones
Break it down.
tim tompkins
Okay.
A lot of the times with companies, we see the mainstream ones that give you the end product, right?
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
So you're talking about, let's say, like an Apple, a Microsoft, an Amazon, right?
But there's also companies that are like either adjacent to them or below, in which they are also massive companies that supply the industries that actually run their programs and their systems.
So for example, Amazon has trucks that they use.
There's a company that supplies those.
They are the biggest players in that and they play into the industry.
There are people that provide Apple with the raw materials.
That's also another company.
So a lot of the surface level ones that we know about are the ones that are mainstream.
And we are like, oh, well, that's also the evil people or certain things that are doing things.
You got to think about the secondary people that also have billions of dollars, but they're just in the boring things that people don't care about or don't interact, but are just as important as the massive companies.
That's the easiest way I can explain it.
So let's go ahead and keep watching this video.
coby hunter
Consumer-facing brands.
Apollo Global Management also has its fingers in dozens of companies in chemical manufacturing, business services, natural resources, trucking, and the telecommunications industry.
But despite their massive reach, most people have never heard of Apollo Global Management.
I didn't hear about them until I was in college doing a business strategy case about Redbox in like my junior year.
So considering it's such a massive company with $598 billion under management, it's kind of strange that there isn't much out there about them.
So today we're going to change that by answering three main questions.
First, and this one is by far the easiest.
Where did Apollo come from?
Second, how successful are they really?
And third, and probably most importantly, what makes them so successful?
And can we learn from what makes them successful in making our own business ventures more effective or more profitable?
tim tompkins
But before we jump in, X chat is broken for me.
rex jones
Yeah, this is what I've been saying.
tim tompkins
X is messing up a ton.
rex jones
It's not pissing me off.
It's just a broken app.
tim tompkins
Yeah, I even have issues when I just go on X and I'm just trying to browse.
It's just broken.
rex jones
Yes.
tim tompkins
Okay.
I'm glad that you confirmed that too.
Like, we're not just tweaking.
And videos aren't being posted.
rex jones
It crashes.
You refresh, gives you the same thing four times.
You can't channel other people's stuff.
tim tompkins
And Owen's having the same issue as us when he uses the outside software that cross streams.
Sometimes it's not posting to X, and then you're having to retweet it.
unidentified
Okay.
tim tompkins
Understood.
rex jones
Thanks for bearing with us.
tim tompkins
Thank you for bearing with us, guys.
Sorry for that rap.
Go ahead and continue.

coby hunter
I spend a ton.
I sold or the largest investment.
The roots of Apollo are in the collapse of Drexel Burnham Lambert, which was the fifth largest investment bank in the United States at the time.
Drexel Burnham Lambert, which is a terrible name in my opinion, went bankrupt because Michael Milken, one of Drexel's executives, condoned or encouraged, it depends on who you ask, unethical and eventually illegal trading practices in his role as the head of the high-yield bond division.
At first, it was just charging above the legal markup for trades, but eventually it grew to be full-on insider trading.
Until 2008, Drexel Burnham Lambert was the largest investment bank bankruptcy since the Great Depression.
After Drexel's collapse, a bunch of its higher-ups were completely out of jobs, right?
So Leon Black, the former head of Drexel's mergers and acquisitions department, teamed up with Josh Harris and Mark Rowan, who are other high-ranking employees at Drexel to form Apollo Advisors, which would eventually change its name to Apollo Global Management.
And despite Michael Milken being in jail and these three guys being some of his right-hand men, their reputations as savvy investors managed to survive the controversy.
And they brought in $400 million for their first investment fund.
Even with this substantial war chest at their disposal.
tim tompkins
Dude, $400 million for your first investment fund, you got a lot of pull.
And guys, this is back like in the 90s, I think.
So you're talking about a crap ton of money in order to do these things.
And so you might even have a job in which your pension goes through these people and you have no idea.
Like, I know you're not, you're, you're a business owner, but like in the nine to five or life, you know, like a lot of the times you get just like you get like a packet and they say, oh, well, here's your retirement packet, your 401k.
And this is what you're invested in.
That's managed by some random company you've never heard of.
I think T-Row is like one of the companies I've worked with.
Sometimes it's Fidelity or something like that.
That's a little more mainstream.
So like the companies don't even know really the company that's managing that or what they're doing with the money.
They're just like, well, they just provide a service.
And you're talking about companies that have like 10,000 plus people.
Those people have their money within these giant private equity firms that are able to trade your money and move the market.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
So, you know, when you think about it, it's kind of weird because when we think about Leon Black, you just look at him and you're like, oh, well, he's just an investor.
But then you start seeing the connection between him and Epstein between like 2012 and 2017, where, you know, he paid Jeffrey Epstein basically $150 million for tax and financial planning advice.
Oh, $150 million.
rex jones
Well, that's just a little treat.
You know, that's just, that's just, you know, Epstein's the smartest person ever, even though he didn't make any of his money.
He was given it by Les Wexter.
He knows all these things.
It's like that clip we played that we got in trouble for playing.
We'll even talk about it.
tim tompkins
Oh, yeah.
rex jones
Where it's like, school teacher turned billionaire.
And it's like, well, how does he TV cribs?
Right.
And it's not, it's not really because of his business acumen, it's because of the other services that he provides.
tim tompkins
Right.
Exactly.
And then you think about it, like he gave him that money after he was convicted in 2008.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
Can you belie the like you can't well?
rex jones
So you just got charged.
We got to give you some money.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
And it's like, well, so in 2008, you've got the situation where he gets convicted.
You're talking four years later.
He has all the data and information to know who this man is and he still does business with him.
rex jones
Oh, yeah.
tim tompkins
So make it make sense.
So then you think about it and you're like, okay, well, what else happened?
And it only started becoming public in 2021.
And, you know, investors started reacting and Apollo launched a review.
And then basically Leon had to step down as CEO, but that's after like three decades worth of influence.
unidentified
Right.
tim tompkins
Okay.
Now, he was not criminally charged.
And I think there was something about like a $68 million like settlement that they did.
Like it's just insane to me that like you can be caught red-handed and all you got to do is settle.
And you've got the money to settle.
So that's what you do.
But Andrew, can you pull up the other clip that talks about some of the things that he does and who he is?
Because it goes at that two minute and 37 second mark.
Just understand, guys, he's dark.
It's disgusting.
And you just, you're going to want to see this.
Okay.
Let's go ahead and watch it.
rex jones
Well, it fits the name.
It's black.
You know, it's very dark.
tim tompkins
Very dark.
unidentified
Bitch.
@bekahdayyy
So like, that's the connection.
Anyways, Leon Black is married and has four children.
One of those children is a son named Ben Black.
Ben Black runs investment funds and he was recently appointed by Donald Trump.
Literally just a few weeks ago, he was appointed to run the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, which invests in infrastructure, healthcare, and food security.
And when I tell you, he was appointed weeks ago.
He was appointed this month, October 2025.
So Leon Black met Jeffrey back in 1996 and the two would maintain a friendship for over 20 years.
A year after meeting in 1997, Leon Black would make Jeffrey main trustee of his and his wife, Deborah's foundation.
The wealthy just love their self-named foundations and they just really loved making Jeffrey in charge of them.
Very strange.
So for years, Leon was a client of Jeffrey's.
Jeffrey did consulting work and tax mitigation strategies for Leon as he did for many other clients.
And over the years, Leon Black paid him around $160 million for the work that he did on his tax mitigation strategies.
Like we've talked about before, Jeffrey was basically hiding money from the government for his clients using tax shelters, trust funds, and offshore accounts.
Due to Jeffrey's crafty tax mitigation strategies, he helped Leon Black avoid paying about $1.3 billion in taxes.
It's almost like Jeffrey spending decades helping the top 1% hide money from the government to avoid paying taxes that they owe would have a really negative impact on the economy.
It's almost like the hundreds of billions of dollars that Jeffree helped hide so that his clients didn't have to pay taxes on their income would have really stimulated the economy if paid out properly by the 1%.
It's also super interesting how the economy completely collapsed when a lot of people had to cut ties with Jeffrey, at least publicly, when he went to prison in 2008.
Anyways, since 2021, Leon Black has been sued for SA or R-word a total of three times.
For the sake of time, I'm just going to talk about the lawsuit that was filed against Leon Black on July 25th of 2023, where Leon Black was accused of R-wording a 16-year-old girl who has Mosaic Down syndrome and autism back in 2002 in Jeffrey's Manhattan mansion.
Jane Doe's Trauma 00:06:13
@bekahdayyy
In her lawsuit, Jane Doe recalls meeting a woman named Elizabeth who was in her 40s when she was around 15 years old as Elizabeth was teaching a cheerleading program for youth in her county.
And Jane Doe recalls meeting Elizabeth back in 2001.
And I don't know if this person's real name is Elizabeth or that's just an alias they're identifying her as.
But according to Jane Doe, Elizabeth took a very special interest in Jane Doe.
And Elizabeth would spend the next year procuring Jane Doe for Jeffrey and Ghelane.
According to the lawsuit, Elizabeth showed Jane Doe a lot of attention and became very close with Jane Doe's parents.
As Elizabeth and Jane Doe spent more time together and Elizabeth was able to build trust up with Jane Doe's parents, Elizabeth convinced Jane Doe's parents to allow Jane Doe to sleep over at her home and travel with her to cheerleading related events.
Ultimately, according to the lawsuit, those sleepovers were just an opportunity for Elizabeth to isolate and procure Jane Doe.
And those trips were opportunities for Elizabeth to take Jane Doe to different properties owned by Jeffrey so that she could be harmed.
tim tompkins
So, yeah, I mean, like, you know, it's bad enough that it's a girl, but then the fact that she's got autism and Down syndrome is absolutely insane to me.
rex jones
Well, they pray on the wig, you know, and he saw her probably not only as an easy target, but as someone that he would probably get off with more, you know, he's abusing someone that literally can't even comprehend what's going on.
unidentified
Right.
tim tompkins
Like, but like, what has to like, this is actually the worst that I've, I've like, when I comprehend, like, this is the worst of the worst.
unidentified
Right.
tim tompkins
Like, I'm like, what has to go through your brain to actually even let alone do it, but do it with somebody who's in that condition.
rex jones
I mean, and you say that this is like kindergarten still.
Like, Epstein would do things to babies, and they found out that if they played the mother's voice while doing things to the baby, that the baby would do things more.
tim tompkins
That's insane.
rex jones
You see, so, so, like, to even, I know, and it's, it's just, it's so horrible.
It's so black, uh, pun not intended with this guy, Leon Black, of course.
Um, it's so disturbing that they know that and they know you're not going to talk about it because you don't even want to think about it.
And that's what we have to break as culture, as a society, as young people is like, we're going to talk about it, okay?
Because it happened.
tim tompkins
Oh, we're going to talk about it because it happened, right?
Andrew, pull up the email as well.
rex jones
Yeah, we're going to look at the email.
tim tompkins
It's the ex-post that shows the email exchange between him and Epstein.
And this is where the dark stuff is too.
unidentified
Outside of that, it's just like unbelievable.
rex jones
That's the right word for it.
It's unbelievable.
You could not believe that someone would go and do something.
tim tompkins
Right.
And that's probably why, you know, a lot of it just goes unnoticed for years is because people can't fathom that it would happen in the first place.
rex jones
It's like believing a horror movie monster is real.
tim tompkins
Right.
Now, let me go ahead and pull it up.
Yeah, let me go ahead and pull it up real quick.
rex jones
You want me to read it?
Yeah.
Okay.
It's okay.
I don't know if you read this one from the bottom, do I?
tim tompkins
No, you could start from the top.
rex jones
Okay, from redacted to redacted subject notes, trafficking Leon Black call with someone, someone, Esquire, lawyer.
May 6, 2023, call with Leanne Christensen, Wigdore LLP, legal firm, like it, licensed legal practice.
Leon Black, Wall Street person, 72 or 71 years old now, founded one of the largest private equity global funds that exists today that's publicly traded.
One of Epstein's friends, very powerful.
Seven to eight years, Black was sexually violent with her.
Black bites parts of her violence was arousing for him, very painful for her.
JC represented victim for civil defamation case, not sex abuse case, went to USAO in Manhattan, May or June of 2021.
JC doesn't represent her anymore.
Got a call from victim woman who said she heard about lawsuit against black.
Victim said black raped her around 20 years ago in Epstein's townhouse.
Victim described it, felt pain like the insertion of something sharp in her on massage table.
Epstein loved that massage table.
That's the same massage table Luttnick talks about with head on the floor and legs.
It's just, it's so bad.
tim tompkins
It gets worse and worse.
rex jones
Spoke with redacted at Manhattan DA's office, redacted at DA's office.
And this is what we need to know.
It's like, who are these names?
Who are the redacted names?
That's all we need to know.
And then the rest will follow as due course.
Substance abuse problems in 1990s, preyed on by Epstein, gave massages to Epstein and Black for money, lives in Redacted now.
Abuse happened in New York.
Minor victim.
Okay, here we go.
Minor victim at Epstein's townhouse and was told to give Leon Black a massage.
Finally raped by Black, 16 years old and raped by Black, redacted, redacted, redacted.
We need to see it.
We got it.
We're adults.
We can handle it.
We need to see what's going on here.
Biological mother is redacted and biological father is fine.
Both alive.
Redacted has lived with them since 2012 when attending redacted, where redacted was counselor in charge of students with redacted, redacted.
Black used adult toys in victims blank and blank.
Victim felt severe pinching in her blank and began bleeding from her blank.
Black and others at Epstein's house would not take her to doctor and instead flew her out of New York the next day.
Victim did not go back to New York.
After that, next two years was in Palm Beach or Virgin Islands.
Ooh, man.
I mean, and this guy's not been punished, has he?
tim tompkins
No.
rex jones
He's just, he's totally fine.
tim tompkins
All he did was step down.
He got a slap on the wrist with some fines and, you know, free as a bird.
rex jones
Electric chair.
tim tompkins
Free as a bird.
rex jones
Electric chair time.
Here's the thing.
Decision Makers in the Shadows 00:07:40
rex jones
It's not extreme to ask for that.
What's extreme is doing this stuff.
Okay.
tim tompkins
Dude, imagine being.
Okay.
Let's say this goes to trial.
You're a lawyer.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
You have to defend this man.
What goes through your mind?
rex jones
Shuffling, tap dance, something, something, something, rich old person defending another rich old person.
That's the only way it flies or works.
No one's going to take that case except for someone that's going to want a lot of money.
tim tompkins
Well, that's what ended up happening.
These people will hire lawyers to protect them.
But like just having the consciousness of a lawyer, and some of the lawyers are actually bad.
They just get the, maybe they just get the bad one that's already like better call Saul.
unidentified
Yeah.
rex jones
The ones that are already doing Saul wouldn't even do this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
tim tompkins
But it's like your consciousness to even defend a man when like you, you, you know, like as the prosecutor, or I'm sorry, the defendant who's defending your person of interest here.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
That there's an inkling that they actually did it and they probably did do it.
But then you have to go and gaslight the jury to basically say, well, there's hearsay and plausible deniability.
And it's like, what?
rex jones
Being a lawyer, it's a very dark profession.
Okay.
Because like whatever it is, you're either taking money from a group of people, you're sending someone to jail or defending someone, keeping them out of jail.
They should be in jail, whatever.
Like you're an advocate, right?
And you can be the devil's advocate.
That's the job of the lawyer, ultimately.
But at some point, like it's indefensible with these people do 100%.
Indefensible.
It cannot be defended.
And like, what do you do when you're like, your honor, my client is innocent.
And then it's someone in the Epstein file.
Well, like, what the fuck are you supposed to do?
tim tompkins
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's just a regular man.
And you, as the jury, shouldn't believe that this man.
Yeah, exactly.
rex jones
It's so crazy.
tim tompkins
So, like, here's the thing, guys.
Why is this important for you guys to know?
And why do you even need to know about the Apollo group?
We've kind of hinted at the things about, like, okay, well, they have like, he's the guy.
He's the guy who makes the decisions.
He's the one who's founded the corporation.
He has the majority shares.
Actually, they never even talked about just because a person steps down doesn't mean they have, don't have stocks still within that company to still make decisions.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
tim tompkins
So I don't really know.
I have to look more into that.
rex jones
I mean, if Trump has just appointed his son to run something, I assume he's still pretty well politically and financially connected.
tim tompkins
Oh, yeah, 100%.
And we'll get to this guy's son, right?
But if you think about it, why this matters is because private equity firms like Apollo, they influence the real world outcomes.
So you're looking at it like, okay, when they buy a company, workers can lose jobs.
They can have debt increases.
They can serve the services can change.
Your healthcare systems can be restructured and prices can shift.
Now, the way that Apollo used to operate and still does is they go in and they buy distressed companies that are either hit bankruptcy or near bankruptcy.
Okay.
And at that point, they go in, they infuse it, they make the company really big, but they also make it really big by cutting a lot of heads and cutting a lot of jobs.
Exactly.
So like, think about this, Rex.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
These corporations and the private equities that control the corporations that actually make the decisions on, okay, we just need to cut costs.
They don't look at, they do not look at who is in this position or who's in that position, what family member is associated with that person, what's the impact to their life.
They're like, we just got to make the shareholders happy.
So if you think about this, guys, we sit here, we talk about Pablo and we talk about, you know, Raj and Enrique and all the immigrants.
And we talk about like, okay, well, these person, these people are taking our jobs.
They're invading and they're taking the jobs that we want.
unidentified
But really, just think, yeah, just think critically here, guys.
tim tompkins
There's not enough jobs to begin with in which they're cutting heads.
The number one reason why there's job loss is a recession.
Bar none.
You guys can go look up the stats.
It's not an immigrant that would take your job.
It's literally when they have to lay off.
And that comes from people making decisions that don't have.
rex jones
How do you make a company more profitable when the economy is doing bad and XYZ and the shareholders and the people at the top of the CEO solely to make money?
Well, you fire people, you automate things, and bing, bang, boom, you got your solution.
tim tompkins
And how often do we sit here and actually blame the corporation on a mass level in terms of even on X, man?
Like, I don't see enough people criticizing like, okay, we talk about like the H-1B coming in and taking the Amazon job, whatever.
Dude, that might be like a thousand people here or there.
That doesn't compare to the 45,000 people they have to cut across the board in all of these positions because they want a clear house and bringing it back to Apollo.
They are designed in order to maximize profits.
So they do not care about you as the American person.
So at the end of the day, we should be pointing to the people that operate in the shadows that actually decide whether or not there's enough jobs in the market and who gets hired.
I rest my case with that.
What do you think?
rex jones
Phenomenal.
I mean, ultimately, you point out and you go like, why is it so inhuman in America?
Why do people lose so many jobs?
Why do companies operate this way?
Well, it's because people at the top, they're not human.
They do not care about you or your life.
And if you had an autistic 16-year-old daughter, they would grape her.
tim tompkins
Exactly.
And you just have to think about it this way as well.
As long as they can just point to an immigrant or they can point to some other group, then they get to just live life and not face any consequences.
And it's very much so like people get angry and galvanized and it becomes a decisive nature to where you can't even tell what's right from wrong, what's the truth.
Because also, keep in mind, these people own media too.
So do you think they're going to put a hit piece on themselves to explain how, you know, the bad practices they did and how much money they spent and they really shouldn't have done this thing with their money and they just were irresponsible.
rex jones
And when you have these big conglomerates, right, where there's all these different companies, it's like the media company acts in services a PR firm for all the other companies that are doing the bad things, right?
And the other companies that are doing the bad things, they act as the logistics or supplier money arm for other groups to do things.
And it's all a cycle.
And ultimately, people like us, even if, even if you're decently well off or whatever, you cannot comprehend that the amounts of money are like not real.
tim tompkins
It's digits on a screen.
rex jones
Yeah.
tim tompkins
And they don't care.
It's just all about the margins itself.
And at the end of the day, when you look at the whole situation, you and I can't see within the decisions themselves at the higher levels of like how they have, it's the spreadsheets and how they have to calculate these things.
And it's just sad, man.
Like there was a point at which like every single point in time in history, there's a point where like, okay, you could blame the immigrants.
Let's blame the Italians.
Let's blame the Irish.
They're the reasons for these particular things.
And it's the same cycle.
There's something bigger happening behind the shadows.
And that's why I come on this show and I show you guys these things because you want to talk about the Epstein files.
You need to talk about the decision makers.
Decision Makers Behind Shadows 00:15:37
unidentified
Okay.
tim tompkins
Now let's talk about his son.
Show his photo for us, please.
The son of this Benjamin.
This guy is still in political power.
He got appointed in October of 2025.
Okay.
His name is Benjamin Black.
He's a senior economic policy role.
He basically served in the senior economic policy roles during the Trump administration.
And these positions sit inside of the executive branch and they help shape federal economic strategy.
And that's very important for you guys to know because senior economic advisors in the White House, they influence regulatory things.
They coordinate with the treasury and the financial agencies and they help shape tax and financial policy and they contribute to decisions on investment and development and finance.
rex jones
That's right.
That's British elite blood, if I've ever seen it.
tim tompkins
I could see it in the face.
rex jones
No, 100%.
tim tompkins
I could see it in the face.
rex jones
100%.
tim tompkins
Right.
And they don't pass laws, but they operate inside of the room where the economic decision was and the direction was formed.
So every time they're like, well, we need to bail out the banks or we need to, I mean, that's, you're talking about the Fed.
There's a little nuances here, but like, let's say the federal, like Fed decides like, we've got to spend money on this thing.
You've got guys like this whose dad did these things and he's making the decision of what needs to be best for America.
Right.
Right.
unidentified
So here's these are who rules us.
rex jones
These are our owners.
They own you.
unidentified
Right.
tim tompkins
So here's the conflict of interest, right?
You've got a father that's controlling hundreds of thousands.
I'm sorry, hundreds of billions in private capital.
And then you've got the son that's operating inside the economics, the federal economics that's forming, helping form the policymaking.
unidentified
Right.
tim tompkins
And that doesn't automatically mean wrongdoing, but it shows how the private capital and the federal marry each other.
And if you don't think that this guy doesn't know the other people who didn't get fired from the group, Apollo group, then you're surely wrong.
Like this guy, his dad is the top guy who invented Apollo Group itself.
So he's well connected throughout all the things and still has the confidence.
rex jones
He knows it all.
He knows everything.
You think him and his dad don't have conversations, you know, about, oh, well, you know, they caught me with the 16.
I gotta, I gotta get out of here.
I gotta resign.
Well, we're gonna take care of your capital taker.
It's not a problem.
Like, he's happy to work for his father in the system.
tim tompkins
And just think about it.
How does this guy get appointed?
rex jones
And I met your feather.
You know, he got it.
But we're gonna give you a job.
tim tompkins
Exactly.
So this is just the whole nepotism, family favors.
And Leon and Trump have to have ties.
And how are they connected?
You could say a bunch of other things, but really, how much do you want to bet they were at the similar parties doing the same things?
rex jones
Strong probability, at least.
unidentified
Right.
tim tompkins
And so the conversations, you basically like, this is how it works in business, guys.
You do business with people that have common goals and that you like to do business with.
rex jones
And that know people that you don't know.
tim tompkins
It doesn't always come down to merit.
It doesn't always come down to like who's the most qualified for this particular thing and who knows what.
It literally comes down: hey, I like you.
You stood up for me that one time.
So I'm going to put you in a very powerful position that you may or may not deserve.
rex jones
I'm going to do you a favor.
You know, you didn't ran us out when we barbecued that baby.
How much your secretary of commerce?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
And just actually think about that.
If somebody is put in a position where they're not qualified for that, what are the implications on the decisions that they make?
It has a trickle-down effect, guys, because often in these giant conglomerates of companies and the government itself, minor decisions have giant butterfly effects that create massive impacts here.
So these people can make a knee-jerk reaction.
They don't know what happened and what it leads to.
They don't think about, okay, this is where the trail ends, right?
They just say, well, this is what I think.
And they're not even qualified for that.
So do you see how this is all coming together?
Do you see the bigger argument?
Do you see the fact that not enough shows and people are talking about these things that are the layer deeper?
This is why the deep dive is important, guys.
This is why it's important for you guys to tune in every single Sunday because we want to highlight these things.
rex jones
Right.
Here's the thing.
Why isn't this guy in front of the House Judiciary Committee, the House Oversight Committee?
Why isn't Leon Black in front of the House Judiciary, House Oversight Committee?
Why aren't any of these people, Lex Wesner?
Like, why are they not being questioned?
They want to throw up Pam Bondi.
They want to have her do some sound bites, have people talk about it, whatever.
Ultimately, we, the people, demand that these people answer questions about their activities.
And that's not an extreme thing to ask for.
It's a very basic thing to ask for.
It's not that we're just like, no, maybe if we ask, ask nice enough, maybe they'll do it.
It's like, we demand this happen now.
There are 350 million of us, and there are only like, you know, a couple hundred of you.
And we would like for you to appear in front of Congress in front of the people.
You know, talk about your dad a little bit.
Talk, talk about, you know, Epstein.
Talk, talk about the files.
Talk about, hey, how'd you get your job?
You know, you and Trump, did you talk about your dad when you were in the office?
You know, y'all hang out.
You know, Trump's big family guy.
He likes his family, likes to make family connections.
What does he know about your family, Mr. Black?
tim tompkins
Right.
Now, Mr. Awake does say something.
Leon Black isn't making decisions.
He's being told what decisions to make.
I think it's more nuanced.
I think it's a mix, right?
When I talk about Apollo Group, it's not one person making a decision in a vacuum.
It's normally a board.
It's normally a group of decisions.
Like as a board of directors, when I'm doing business with my co-founders, investors, those types of things, I'm not making unilateral decisions.
But here's the important part that you do need to know.
If you are at a higher seat and you are important, your voice carries weight.
Just suggestion alone has a psychological impact in which it makes you make decisions you thought that were your own.
So for example, super far off, but when Bush went to go invade Afghanistan, or was it Iraq?
I'm sorry, I get these things confused sometimes.
He had people that didn't pull the trigger as far as making the decision, but he had the guy that was there was like, well, sir, they have weapons of mass destruction.
You need to go in there and you need to make these decisions.
His voice carried weight.
And Bush talks about how those things stuck with him when he made those decisions.
unidentified
Right.
tim tompkins
So that's the thing that you need to pay attention to.
You don't got to be the guy that fully pulls the trigger.
You just got to lead him to where it is.
And it's all one big club.
And what's God where all those people gather together and they decide collectively, this is the way that the world needs to go.
rex jones
Yes.
110%.
tim tompkins
That is the end of this particular deep dive.
It's not really much of a deep dive.
It's a mini deep dive.
rex jones
But here's the thing.
We got to give you your flowers.
You've gotten so good at doing this.
You carry the show today.
I've said like maybe like half the things or like a third of the things today.
You killed it, man.
The delivery, the intelligence on the delivery.
And people talked about it at the beginning.
We started doing the deep dives.
We're figuring it out.
We're in StreamYard.
We're fighting over the keys, trying to make things work.
People are like, we want more XYZ.
Well, we're giving you more now.
Like we're giving you more now.
And this is the hard-hitting reporting that makes this show different compared to other shows.
And this is what we're going to bring to InfoWars on Friday.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
unidentified
Oh, man.
tim tompkins
I'm excited.
rex jones
If you're watching this right now and you're excited about this, you're interested in it, you're angry, whatever.
If this elicits a strong emotion in you, that's a good thing because it elicits a strong emotion in us.
Whenever we go through this information, we are shocked and appalled at the level and the scale of the fraud and abuse, right?
And on InfoWars on Friday, we're going to be talking to Simon Dixon, one of the leading people, exposing like global transnational capital interests and really how the money works, how it flows, how these companies really control everything.
Like you say, how it really is all corporations doing it.
And we're going to do a deep dive.
So you've got to be there.
tim tompkins
100%.
rex jones
That's Friday.
tim tompkins
And it's Friday.
And also, I don't normally address comments, but Mr. Wick also says another point.
Don't compare business to global governance.
I will address that.
Here's the thing.
There's analogies.
They're important.
rex jones
Yes.
tim tompkins
Okay.
There's things that happen in business that are unilaterally the same no matter what scale.
One scales up, one scales down.
It's all the same, right?
Andrew, you got something playing in the background.
Sorry about that.
What is that?
Where's that coming?
Is that awesome?
I'm just hitting X on August.
This is bothering me.
Oh, okay.
Massey.
Oh, we totally forgot.
rex jones
Yeah, we got Massey bombed.
We had a Massey clip.
We'll play that later on the show.
We'll do that on another show.
tim tompkins
Oh, yeah.
rex jones
Sorry about that.
tim tompkins
No, yeah.
Sorry.
It totally threw me off.
Sorry about that.
But basically, the whole thing is you just need to understand the psychology and how those things work.
And it's very, everything's transferable.
And by the way, I don't talk about a lot of these things, but I also deal with a lot of people who deal with people at a high level and they also have these conversations.
So these are things that people may not know.
How the world works.
And this is what the show is about.
So you can either like it, you can hate it.
Power is power.
This is the reality of the situation.
unidentified
Right.
rex jones
And we're talking about power.
We're talking about the real interest behind things.
That's what the gray area is all about.
We're trying to find the truth in the middle.
And that also means, you know, what's been hidden from us from these very powerful people.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
rex jones
So great show tonight.
tim tompkins
And for people who don't know who we are, I'm sure there's new people that are in here.
We are not a bipartisan show by any means.
We don't push hateful red eric.
We don't hate.
rex jones
We're not a partisan show.
tim tompkins
We're not a part of it.
Sorry.
rex jones
No, no, you're good.
We're bipartisan.
tim tompkins
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
You're right.
We're very much so just trying to discern what's right from wrong.
And the only way you can do that is understanding facts and what are things that are below the surface of whatever the news is being spilled out.
rex jones
And the reason why we talk about this particular issue, why we're going to keep talking about this particular issue, is because everything else is downstream of this, right?
And this is where all the money, power, and influence comes from, right?
So like, I'm sorry if it's boring.
I don't think it's boring.
I think it's quite interesting.
tim tompkins
No.
And you know what?
You can go on a different person's show.
You go watch Candace.
She'll lead you down the fourth.
She'll give you a soap offer.
But like, they won't tell you the connection that actually happens that actually impacts your life because that's actually my primary mission is to not like just wake people up, people.
You got to wake up.
There's pedophiles.
It's like, okay, how are these things connected?
Because something has an indirect relationship and we're all focusing on the wrong thing.
My whole point is to focus you on where it actually is happening and where the divisions happen.
rex jones
Well, I just had a thought that occurred to me, right?
You know, like one of the conspiracy theories is like they have the cure for cancer, but if they cure cancer, they lose a bunch of money and you can make more money treating something than curing it, blah, blah, blah.
I think the same is true of media, right?
I think a lot of these people, they don't actually want solutions.
They just want something else to talk about, you know, the next day, the next day, the next soap opera, and you name it.
There's more money in treating something than actually providing a solution to it.
We're about solutions here on the Gray Area.
tim tompkins
Yes, we are.
And we do this every Thursday.
We do this every, ooh, let me throw this up here.
We do some shadows here.
Thank you.
rex jones
Good show.
First time watching it.
tim tompkins
First time watcher.
rex jones
Keep up the great work.
tim tompkins
We appreciate you.

Please go ahead and give that a follow.
rex jones
Yeah, give Truism Tim a follow.
Follow Truism Tim on X. Seriously, putting in the real hard hours, real hard work to make this work and to provide the deep dives.
And I know I've gotten value out of it.
I know you probably have too.
Give him a follow.
Follow Truism Tim on X and follow Gray Area Talks on X as well.

You help us do powerful broadcasts.
And it's really the viewers and listeners supporting the show that make the show possible.
tim tompkins
It does.
And at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what platform you're watching on.
Anything helps in terms of whether you're on YouTube, go ahead and hit that subscribe button.
rex jones
Go ahead.
unidentified
Very simple.
rex jones
Let us know what you think.
tim tompkins
100%.
And if you're on Rumble, same thing.
You know, I realize there's no Rumble chats that have been popping up.
Maybe, maybe I'm going to check out for those.
But anyways, I digress.
The whole thing is, is that like, if you want something different, here's your solution.
rex jones
Yes.
tim tompkins
We are someone who actually genuinely cares about you guys out there.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
We're not very interested in just clip farming.
Do you know I could sell my soul right now?
unidentified
Right.
tim tompkins
I could be the Candace Owens, but I could blend it a little bit with like a hint of racism, say a bunch of negative things about black people, and I'll be trending like next week.
I just got to say the hard R.
unidentified
I just got to go out there and just say, you know, black people, all those types of things.
tim tompkins
But I'm like, that's just slop.
That doesn't contribute.
So, I'll rather do the slow burn of keeping my morals, keeping my values, keeping my conscience together to where, like, I have where I stick to my guns and know, like, okay, this is what I actually truly believe in instead of selling my soul.
rex jones
We would much rather have 100,000 great, phenomenal people that are here to learn and are here at Billy Community together versus like having a couple million people that vaguely know of us or trying to grift off of.
That's not what the show is about.
The show is about us all becoming better people together and learning more together.
And I know coming up on episode 50, that'll be Thursday, you won't want to miss that episode 50.
I know I've grown a lot.
I know you probably have grown a lot too.
We want to thank people that have been there from the beginning as well.
It's awesome that new people are joining.
We encourage new people to subscribe and check us out to follow Truism Tim and Gray Area Talks on X, but also to the people that have been here since the beginning.
Thank you so much.
Look at that dog cam.
tim tompkins
He's sleeping right now.
rex jones
Mr. Rupert.
tim tompkins
Somebody asked for the dog, Cam.
I had to turn it on real quick.
rex jones
He's asleep.
Rupert, he's been spending a lot of time on the couch.
unidentified
Hello.
rex jones
We love you, Rupert.
tim tompkins
Normally, he's not in the studio, but tonight, I guess he's just kind of chilling out.
rex jones
I love you.
tim tompkins
Super cute, super awesome.
Yeah, we don't shock the dog here either.
Yeah, no Hassan, no Hassan biker type stuff.
rex jones
Yeah, we're very nice, Drew.
tim tompkins
So, just to finalize this whole thing, we are live every single Tuesday.
I'm sorry, every single Thursday, every single Sunday.
Sunday is a special segment.
You are going to get my deep dive of some sort, and you're going to get a guest of some sort that has great information that you didn't know.
Sometimes it's in the middle of the week, but you're going to guarantee on Sunday there's going to be somebody who's going to give you a different perspective.
Okay.
Those are the days.
If you don't watch them on Thursday, definitely tune in on Sunday.
Catch us on Friday.
Don't miss it.
It's at 4 o'clock p.m.
I expect to see every one of you guys on InfoWars watching that live.
rex jones
And it's very easy.
You just go to the InfoWars account and go to my dad's account.
It'll be live streaming.
Sunday Perspective 00:01:14
rex jones
It'll be there.
InfoWars Rumble streams as well.
It'll be very accessible for you.
And if you haven't seen it already, if you're enjoying tonight's broadcast and you really want to get next-level download, go watch our Simon Dixon interview.
And that's on YouTube and on Rumble.
That's posted.
You'll be able to find it.
His name's in the title.
Wow.
When that guy comes on InfoWars, we're going to elevate it to the next level.
tim tompkins
100%, dude.
Well, that's all I got.
We appreciate every single one of you guys tonight.
rex jones
Yes.
tim tompkins
All right.
Take us off, Andrew.
rex jones
Thank you so much.

Modern life has left us out of balance.
Long ago, it was once said: certain remedies could grant a man the vitality of a horse.
For over 6,000 years, these natural remedies have been harvested and tested by generations.
Why create complex formulas when nature's roots are still in our hands?
