Jeffrey Epstein, Leon Black, Larry Summers And The IPI · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein and his buddies were giving money to all
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: kinds of think tanks. And a lot of those think
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: tanks were of international renown. One of those think tanks
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: that they gave money to was a UN-affiliated think tank
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: called the IPI. Now, that stands for the International Peace Institute.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: And we've talked about this group before and how Jeffrey
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Epstein was one of the donors. Well, there was another
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: anonymous donor to this group and another person that you're
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: all very familiar with. And that person was Leon Black.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: So today, we have an article from DN, and this
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: article was originally published on October 22nd of 2020. Headline,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Leon Black did like his advisor Jeffrey Epstein, gave anonymously
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to UN-affiliated think tank. In March of 2016, the International
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Peace Institute, IPI, was completing a list of donors who
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: received special recognition in the think tank's annual report. The
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: foundations of the billionaires Bill Gates and George Soros were listed,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: but there was a major contributor who was not mentioned.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And just right there from Jump Street, Bill Gates and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: George Soros, two of the richest dudes out there, right?
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Two of the most powerful men when you're talking about finances.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: An IPI employee asked if the donor should be thanked
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: as he gave a lot of money to fund several events.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Later that day, she sent a new message referring to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a discussion with the IPI president, Terry Rod Larson. As
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: discussed with Terry, please do not mention Leon Black, she wrote,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: in one of several emails the Norwegian Business Daily has obtained.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: So why wouldn't Leon Black want anyone to know that
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: he's donating to this group? Oh, could it be because
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: of his ties to Epstein and all of the ties
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: that bind? The idea was them to leave as little
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: of a paper trail as possible when discussing or talking
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: about their relationship with one another. It wasn't that they
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: were spooked by Epstein because he was a sick fuck.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: They were spooked because they didn't want to get caught
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: up in it. It's not that they cared about the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: women or the fact that Epstein was an animal. They
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: just didn't want that dung covering them as well. Ruthless.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Nobody makes money like Apollo's ruthless founder, Leon Black, was
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the title of a Bloomberg interview with the dollar billionaire
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: earlier this year. He was called the most feared man
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: in private equity. There's no doubt that Leon Black was
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: a heavy hitter for a very long time and a
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: dude that pretty much could get away with and do
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: whatever he wanted. There was nobody that was really standing
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: up to Apollo Global. We're talking about seriously, seriously heavy
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: hitters here. and Leon Black was the man. But all
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: good things come to an end, don't they? And when
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: you live your life shitting on people your whole entire life,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: eventually that catches up to you. And now that Leon
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Black is being exposed as somebody who was very, very
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: intimately involved with Jeffrey Epstein, well, it's like rats jumping
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: off the ship, right? Nobody wants to be associated with
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: him anymore, not even his own former company. Black is
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: one of the most powerful figures on Wall Street, New
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: York's financial center. His fortune is estimated by Forbes to
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: be around $ 8 billion, making him the world's 224th richest person.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Now imagine there's actually people out there richer than Leon Black.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: That tells you everything you need to know about the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: so-called elite. Old boy's worth around $ 8 billion, and that
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: brings him in at about the 224th. Richest person. And
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: that was during the time this article was originally published
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: in 2020. So I'm sure things have changed by now.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: But that's an obscene amount of money. $ 8 billion? He
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: is also known for his ties to a sex offender.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Earlier in October, the New York Times described Black as
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the billionaire who stood by Jeffrey Epstein, with new details
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: about how Black continued to do business with Epstein after
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Epstein's 2008 conviction for solicitation of a minor, and not
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: only just do business, but to be intimately involved, donating,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: hanging out, calling him, what, a bunch of times, emailing him,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: a over 1500 times or whatever and that's just what
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: we know about that's just the relationship that's been aired
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: out so if that's what's been aired out how much
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: was really going on behind the scenes the reporting has
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: led to strong reactions the board of black's private equity
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: firm apollo global management will examine his relationship with epstein
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: at his request the stock of apollo has fallen And
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: one Apollo investor has halted new commitments over Black's ties
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to Epstein. Now remember, he's gone now. Leon Black is
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: no longer part of the company, at least that we
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: know about. What's going on behind the scenes in that
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Apollo global monolith? Who the hell knows, really. But as
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: far as the public's concerned, Leon Black is no longer
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the man over there. Several prominent figures broke ties with
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Epstein when it became known that he was under investigation
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: in 2006. Nevertheless, the financier pedophile managed to get back
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: among the elite after imprisonment. He entertained business titans, scientists
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and politicians like Microsoft founder Bill Gates and former Israeli
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Prime Minister Ehud Barak until he was arrested by authorities
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: in 2019, accused of human trafficking and abuse. So again, look,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: just another slap home. All of these people that want
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to tell you they had nothing to do with it,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that they had no idea who Jeffrey Epstein was, that
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: they weren't breaking bread with him, that they weren't at
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: his house eating and enjoying his, you know, hospitality. Well,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: they're lying because they were. And it's even worse for
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: people who are doing it after the first conviction. IPI
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: President Rod Larson said, And Black have one thing in common.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: According to DN's sources, they were both frequent guests at
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Epstein's New York mansion in the years after the conviction.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: A description neither Black's spokesperson nor Rod Larson have responded to.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: And this is really the rub of it, right? All
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: of these folks who were still hanging out with him
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: after that first conviction, I mean, how can you even
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: try and defend that? How can you even begin to
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: attempt to defend that? $ 950, 000. Internal documents show that Black
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: supported IPI with $ 950, 000. Initially, $ 200, 000 received in January of 2015,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and then $ 750, 000 in May 2015. This was over a
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: tenth of the total that was donated to the think
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: tank that year. So one man over a tenth of
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the total donated to the think tank that year. The
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: same guy that's pumping Epstein $ 158 million, remember. So it
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: must be nice to have all this money to spread
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: around to help your boy Epstein. And for what? What
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: was Leon Black getting on the flip side of all
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: of that? That's the real question. He would like the
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: donation to remain anonymous, it says in an email sent
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: between IPI employees after they had been in contact with
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Black's office about the financial support. The money went, among
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: other things, to a conference on pandemics and a forum
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: in Salzburg. Well, isn't that funny, huh? A bit ironic.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: A conference and a forum on pandemics, and then we
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: get slapped with this pandemic? Interesting. IPI thanks major contributors
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: in its annual reports, but it is also an option
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: to give money anonymously. This is a common practice within philanthropy. Well,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: there's no doubt a lot of people do give money anonymously,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: but when you're doing something like this for such a
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: good cause, I don't really see the need to do that.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Then again, I'm not the one who's donating the money,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: so I can't really insert myself into somebody's positions. In 2016,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the head of the philanthropy at the black company Elysium
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Management LLC contacted IPI and requested a tax receipt for
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: his donation. Elysium Management LLC is one of the companies
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the U.S. government in the Virgin Islands is investigating because
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: of Black's relationship with Epstein. And again, look, we have
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: this investigation that's allegedly going on in the Virgin Islands,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: but what has come of it? What have we seen
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: from it? What have we heard from it? Has there
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: been any movement? Now, we've heard a lot of good
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: game being talked by Denise George down there, but what
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: really has happened? Has she brought anybody in? Has there
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: been depositions? Can we get an update, please? There are
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: several ties between Black's philanthropy and Epstein, who, for a period,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: held positions associated with Black's Family Foundation. A spokesman for
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Black has said that Epstein was one of his advisors
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: between 2012 and 2017. One of the areas he helped
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: with was philanthropy. Black paid at least $ 50 million to
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Epstein for his services, according to the New York Times,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: and we know it was much more than that now.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: We know that it was over 158 million dollars and
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: that sure is a lot of money to pay somebody
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: for advice The prestigious university, MIT, is one of several
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: organizations that have investigated their own ties to Epstein. The
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: report from earlier this year states that Epstein, at one point,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: said that he got Black to donate $ 5 million to
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: MIT anonymously. So Black was just donating a bunch of
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: money around the whole world, I guess, for Jeffrey Epstein
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: because they're such good friends. And Black is just such
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: a generous man that he wanted to spread a little
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: bit of cheese across everybody's cracker. I mean, since he's
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: donating so much money, I would think that there's a
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: few causes that could use his help, right? Funny how
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: that money only goes to causes that were important to
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Epstein or causes that could have moved the needle for
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: them as far as being power brokers a little bit more. Spokesperson.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: This is why a black donated. DN has asked a
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: number of questions to Black's spokesperson and IPI, including whether
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Epstein was in any way involved in Black's financial support
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: for the think tank. IPI have not answered. A statement
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: from Black's spokesperson did not address the issue. Well, that's
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: nothing new. They never address the issue. It's always, you know, oh, well,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: there's an investigation or we can't talk about that currently, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: In a letter to Apollo investors sent last year, Black
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: wrote that, on a few occasions, I donated money to
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: certain charitable organizations which Mr. Epstein was affiliated. The spokesperson
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: has not answered if IPI was one of those organizations
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: at this point. You notice how he tries to downplay
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: it too, right? Oh, I donated to a few foundations
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: that Epstein's affiliated with. He doesn't say that he did
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: it at Epstein's behest. He doesn't say that he was
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: a partner of Epstein's. Just that it was just a coincidence.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Consistent with his longstanding support of organizations focused on foreign
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: affairs and world peace, Mr. Black donated to the International
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Peace Institute because he was impressed with the organization's mission
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and charitable work. The donation was made with full transparency,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: similar to his generous support for many other philanthropic organizations.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: The statement from Black's spokesperson provided to DN said, Mr.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Black continues to be appalled by the conduct that led
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: to the criminal charges against Mr. Epstein, and he deeply
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: regrets having any involvement with them. A spokesperson told the
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: New York Times earlier this month, Oh, I'm sure, you know,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the regret is just eating away at him, just eating
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: away at him. That's why Mr. Black has found it
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: within his heart to come out and open up a
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: retreat for people who have been abused. $ 8 billion sure
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: does go a long way to fixing shit, doesn't it, folks?
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: How much of that $ 8 million has Mr. Black spent
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: to try and fix situations such as these? Oh, that's right. Nothing.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Close connections. IPI, like Black, has close ties to Epstein.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Deanne reported earlier in October that the president, Terry Rod Larson,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: was both in debt to Epstein at one point and
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: later authorized a payment to him through the think tank.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: IPI denies that Epstein received any payment. You know, it's
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: such a joke. There's no accountability here. There's no one
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: doing the real work. And when you look at the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: overall situation that we're facing and all of the power
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: players that are on the stage, it's going to take
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: some people with some real courage in positions of power
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: to finally say enough is enough. And unfortunately, in the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: real world, we don't have too many heroes. You're free now.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Epstein also donated money to IPI in secret. In the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: annual report from 2011, IPI praises an anonymous donor who
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: helped start a fund with a generous contribution. But the
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: following year, an Epstein Foundation took credit. And that's the
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: thing with all of this secrecy and privacy and LLCs
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: and all of the rest of it. At what point
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: do you take a look at what's going on and
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: realize that we've been duped? And I don't just mean
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: people in America. I'm talking about all of us. DN
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: reported last year that IPI received at least $ 375, 000 from
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the Epstein Foundation Gratitude America. This was the sum that
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: was listed in the foundation's tax documents for 2017. Now
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: it turns out that Epstein's donation was larger than $ 375, 000. Look,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: all of these foundations, I have to look at them
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: sideways at this point. How many of these people were
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: putting this money in their pocket instead of putting it
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: towards whatever their cause is? Now, I'm not saying they
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: all were doing it for sure, but it doesn't garner
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: more of an investigation. The fact that these dudes were
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: running around with Epstein in the first place, the fact
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: that they were taking his money. How is it not
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: a bigger issue? IPI sent out a release last year
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: after DN had reported the support from Gratitude America. The
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: statement said that a similar sum, as the one received
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: from the foundation, would be donated to programs that support
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: victims of human trafficking and abuse. All of these groups
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: that say that, that's fine and well, but where's your
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: money really going? Are you really donating it to people
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: who need it? Or are you giving it to your
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: buddy's charity and your buddy's going to piece off 80%
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: of that money and pay it out to fees and salaries, right?
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Because we all know there's a hustle going on with
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: these charitable groups as well. Look, everybody has a hustle
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and everybody has a lick. And these charitable groups certainly
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: are no different. In IPI's recent financial statements for 2019,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: it appears that total sum is $ 525, 000, $ 150, 000 more than
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: what was previously reported. So where did that $ 150, 000 racks go?
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Was that shit split up between you and the homies
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: or what? I mean, am I completely off base to
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: ask that question considering what we know about these people
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: and considering how long they've been grifting? Another foundation. IPI
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: also received money from another Epstein foundation. In April... 2014,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: the UN-affiliated think tank received a check for $ 14, 158. The
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: money came from Enhanced Education and Epstein Foundation. After the
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: check arrived, an accountant contacted the assistant to IPI's president,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Rob Larson. The check is for a reimbursement of Larry
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Summers' flight, she wrote. And now remember, Larry Summers is
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the big time, you know, economics guy. Always running around
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: on TV talking about, you know, the economy, this, that,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: the other thing. Worked for Obama, worked with Clinton, and
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: worked with Biden for quite some time as well. Well,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: this is another guy who has ties to all of
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: these clowns. and another man who was running around with Epstein. Now, again,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: like I always say, I don't have any proof that
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: the dude was engaging in any abuse, but he certainly
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: was friendly with Epstein, certainly running around and breaking bread
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: with Epstein. Summers has long been a powerful figure in
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: American politics, including as Treasury Secretary. He has several links
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: to Epstein, and is one of many profiled names in
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the logs of Epstein's jets. DN reported earlier in October
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: that it was Epstein's office that sent IPI instructions for
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: payment of $ 100, 000 to Summers for a peace project in Mongolia.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: A peace project in Mongolia for 100,000 racks. Yo, where
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: does your boy sign up? Because that sounds like a
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: good gig to me. $ 100, 000? For what? What, are you
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: going to go give a quick talk to some peace
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: tank over in Mongolia? Kazakhstan. Why did Epstein pay for
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: the flight and what was the purpose of it? Neither IPI,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Larry Summers' office, nor attorneys for Epstein's estate have responded.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: You don't call me directly, Summers said when DN contacted
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: him in September. You see, this is how they feel.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: They feel like they're above reproach, all these people. All
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: of these people that think they're smarter than you. All
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: these people that are running around on TV telling you
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: to hate your neighbor. These are the kind of people
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: that they are. This is their true character when you
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: pull back the curtain. So I'd be very, very cautious
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: about which one of these doot-a-doots you're listening to on
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: TV and then taking that information seriously and then running
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: with it. Because all of these people have motivations, right?
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Remember that. There's always ulterior motives for these people. And
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: when we're talking about knuckleheads like Summers, definitely one of
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: these guys that's a power player. There is no doubt
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: about it. But when a journalist calls you and you're
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: a public figure, you probably shouldn't be saying, oh, you
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: don't call me directly. What are you, the aristocracy? What
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: are you, one of the tutors? Give me a break, dude.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Answer the email, okay? You put your pants on in
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: the morning just like that reporter. But an email sent
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: from Epstein to Rod Larson earlier the same month, April 6, 2014,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: may provide some of the explanation. The email concerned Summers
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: with Kaz in the subject field. Epstein outlined how Summers
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: could help with challenges in Kazakhstan, pointing to five issues.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Among them was how the country could remain attractive to
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: foreign investors in the face of political instability in the region.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Now remember, keep this in mind, Prince Andrew, Goga Ashkenazi,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: all of his other buddies from the Kazakhstan region. Now
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: you have Epstein over here conducting business in Kazakhstan. Well,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: you think all of that's just a coincidence as well?
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not. So the question is, what was Andrew involved
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: in here as far as being a power broker? Succeeding
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: would require an approach that melds a broad and high
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: level political perspective with technical economic expertise, Epstein wrote. According
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: to IPI's website, Rod Larson was in the country meeting
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: several senior senior officials one month before Epstein sent the email.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: The purpose was to further develop the department's close relations
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: with Kazakhstan. Terry Rod Larson, IPI, Summer's office, and Epstein's
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: estate lawyers have not answered questions for this story. So,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: like usual, they just denied it or refused to answer questions.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean the questions are going away. As
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: you can probably imagine, considering we're, what, almost three years
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: away from this article and we're still talking about it.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: You see, these questions aren't just going to go away.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: And all of these people that are trying to avoid
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: these questions, well, they're not going to be able to
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: do that because there's way too many people now who
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: are hip to what went on and there's way too
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: many people who want answers. So when you have people
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: like you know, Larry Summers and and Larson and the U.N.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: and all these other groups that were engaging in these
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: shadowy business deals with Epstein and then they refused to
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: answer any questions about it. Well, what do you think
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the populace is going to think? And if you think
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: people are just going to shrug their shoulders and move on, well,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: my friend, you have not been paying attention for the
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: past three years. All right, folks, that's going to do
• 21:42
