I want to switch gears
and talk about some of those issues where even a lot of folks
in Trump's base have started to turn on him.
With your background as a prosecutor,
I wanted to focus on the Epstein files because this
has been just fascinating for me to watch as Trump is basically ...
I think the MAGA
base, to a large degree, I didn't think it was possible,
but I think they are starting
to lose trust and faith in him on this issue.
How do you see what's happening right now in Congress?
Is this a function of how Trump has staffed up DOJ
and how it has been undermined under his leadership?
Would we have more answers if it was someone else
that was being more transparent?
Will the American people ever get answers on these Epstein files?
Maybe.
But look, I think I'd argue,
let's differentiate between answers and prosecutions.
So I'll do answers first, then I'll do prosecutions.
And the answer is, you know, you know.
It was a bunch of rich, predominantly white guys
who are masters of the universe, have made more money.
Think about what all of these men
who have been exposed so far have in common.
They're professionally successful, they're extraordinarily wealthy,
and most of them are incredibly geeky, right?
Like, these guys could not close the deal ever in their lives, right?
Could not close the deal.
So now they become really rich and they're thinking,
I'm really rich now.
I got to find out how to close the deal.
And they look at Jeffrey Epstein and they go,
he knows how to close the deal.
I'm going to hang with him.
What more do you need to know?
The character of these men is awful.
And so on what we need to know,
may there be more names than all the rest of it?
Yes.
But you're going to hear the same story over and over again.
Every time a new name comes out,
like I saw the video of Les Wexner's video of his deposition
where he was talking about,
I didn't know that Jeffrey Epstein stole a billion dollars
from me.
Like, you know what?
The scary part is I actually believe him.
Like he had that much money that he just didn't miss it.
And his relationship with Epstein was so important to him
that even if he knew, he didn't care, right?
So you're going to see more of these kind of guys, right?
Now, on the prosecution front, though, this goes way back.
I was the U.S. attorney in New Jersey when the Epstein case started.
I want you to think about that.
We're talking about 2007, about 19 years ago.
And I remember when the plea agreement was reached.
All of us amongst the U.S. attorney community would talk
with each other about cases that were going on in other places.
When I saw that Alex Acosta came to a plea agreement with a guy
who was accused of pedophilia,
where he turned the case over from the feds to the state,
and they sentenced him to 18 months,
but he could be out every day.
He just had to sleep there, like as if it was a hotel.
And he went to work every day.
And a United States attorney under George W. Bush agreed to that deal.
And a Justice Department agreed to that deal.
And so, you know,
Trump is just a continuation and expansion of that problem.
Epstein got Alan Dershowitz and a whole bunch of other lawyers
who did whatever they did with Alex Acosta,
who, again, this would have disappeared.
It disappeared all through the Obama years.
You didn't hear Eric Holder ever talk about Jeffrey Epstein, did you?
Not once, right?
So all through the Obama years, it disappears.
Trump comes in.
The only reason it comes up
is because Trump makes Alex Acosta the labor secretary.
Great decision.
So he goes into hearings,
and the Democrats bring up Epstein and that plea deal.
And then Acosta has to resign.
And so it bubbles back up again.
And now Trump's, and I was around at the time,
so I know how angry he was.
I didn't understand exactly why he was that angry,
but he was really ripped.
And the reason I know about it
is because he offered me labor secretary first,
and I turned it down because I didn't want to go in his cabinet.
And he then gave it to Acosta.
So when Acosta caused all these problems, Trump came to me and said,
it's all your fault.
If you had just said yes, I would have never gotten this guy,
and none of this stuff wouldn't have come out.
I still didn't understand why he was so mad.
I didn't know about his relationship with Epstein at that point.
And really, very few people did.
So my concern is that for most of the people who can be prosecuted,
should be prosecuted, we're beyond the statute now.
You need to know this stuff goes back 19 years.
And every one of those administrations,
Bush 43, Obama, Trump 45.
Biden and Trump 47 all own it.
Now, Trump has made the Justice Department unrecognizable,
and we would know more of the information about these people
if people that were not bought and paid for by the president
were not running the Justice Department.
But that's what we've got.
And I don't think,
I think it's amazing that Tom Massie and Ro Khanna
and others have gotten done what they've gotten done.
In light of all this, it really is.
So, because left, you remember,
Pam Bondi and Kash Patel both told us a year ago,
there were no Epstein files.
There was nothing in there.
Now there's 3 million pages plus, right?
So I guess it just showed up.
You know, maybe it was like in an office at the FBI
that no one had looked in for a while, you know?
So we got to give credit,
like Congress deserves almost no credit for anything.
Right now, I mean, seriously, in that same AP poll,
Heath, you know what Congress's job
approval is?
This is impossible in one respect.
Two?
Four percent.
Two, oh.
Four.
So I think two things.
Like, God, how could Congress only have four percent approval?
Then I think, how do they even have four percent approval?
Like, who are those people?
Like, I love to interview those people.
Like, okay, so you think Congress is doing a great job.
Yep.
Tell me why.
I think those would be some fascinating answers
who those 4% are. It's Nancy Mace
voting for herself. It could be.
Could be Nancy.
Even Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want to be in
Congress anymore. She doesn't even like Congress.
Think about how bad Congress has become
when Marjorie Taylor Greene
goes, no, this is too much of a ---- show for
me. I'm out of here.
Right?
I mean, it's just.
It's incredible.
She's like, no, this has gone too
far. This is
absurd.
You can't imagine you could live that long.
But in the context of all that,
Ro Khanna and Tom Massey, without the two of them, we
wouldn't know what we know now about the Epstein files.
We wouldn't.
The Trump administration would have never released it.
