Latest / The Epstein Chronicles / Bill Gates, Epstein, and the Fallout Inside the Gates Foundation
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
- 0:03Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. Back in twenty nineteen, when the Jeffrey Epstein
- 0:07Speaker 1: story was breaking once again, Bill Gates sure had a
- 0:12Speaker 1: lot to say about how the stories that were tying
- 0:15Speaker 1: him to Jeffrey Epstein were just a bunch of bs.
- 0:18Speaker 1: But even at the time, his narrative didn't make much sense.
- 0:23Speaker 1: And as the situation continued to develop, it became very
- 0:26Speaker 1: obvious that Bill Gates was lying about his relationship with
- 0:30Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. And even though he had those fierce denials
- 0:34Speaker 1: and he was very quick to try and put it
- 0:36Speaker 1: all to bed, his ex wife, me Linda Gates, showed
- 0:39Speaker 1: up with not only the gasoline, but with the matches,
- 0:43Speaker 1: and she gave an interview talking about how Jeffrey Epstein
- 0:46Speaker 1: and the relationship that he had with Bill Gates played
- 0:50Speaker 1: a part in their marriage going bust. So just think
- 0:54Speaker 1: about that for a minute. Bill Gates was close enough
- 0:58Speaker 1: to Jeffrey Epstein that it caused wife to want to
- 1:01Speaker 1: divorce him, or at least play a part. Now, how
- 1:06Speaker 1: close do you have to be to somebody for that
- 1:08Speaker 1: to occur? Like I understand, people have friends that their
- 1:14Speaker 1: significant other doesn't want them to hang out with I
- 1:17Speaker 1: get it, but when we're talking about somebody like Epstein,
- 1:21Speaker 1: with the kind of past and history that he had,
- 1:24Speaker 1: there's no justification for somebody like Bill Gates to spend
- 1:28Speaker 1: time with them. And for me, one of the biggest
- 1:30Speaker 1: tells was how adamant Bill Gates was when it comes
- 1:33Speaker 1: to the denials. This guy was denying everything from every
- 1:38Speaker 1: which way you could possibly imagine. Jeffrey Epstein never even
- 1:42Speaker 1: heard the name. I can't even spell that name. You know,
- 1:45Speaker 1: all kinds of crazy stuff. But like I told you
- 1:48Speaker 1: back then, Bill Gates isn't exactly being truthful. And his
- 1:53Speaker 1: relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was a lot deeper and ran
- 1:57Speaker 1: a lot further than he ever let on, And that
- 2:00Speaker 1: was obvious from the little bit of evidence that we
- 2:02Speaker 1: had at the time. But when you add to that
- 2:04Speaker 1: what we know now, all the evidence, the emails, the
- 2:08Speaker 1: witness statements, I have no idea how anyone gets to
- 2:11Speaker 1: any other destination besides one where Bill Gates is lying
- 2:15Speaker 1: about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And then that leads
- 2:18Speaker 1: us to another question, why is he so terrified of
- 2:21Speaker 1: the truth. Today's article is from CNBC and the headline
- 2:27Speaker 1: Gates Foundation reviewing Jeffrey Epstein ties will slash twenty percent
- 2:31Speaker 1: of staff. Wall Street Journal reports the author of this
- 2:35Speaker 1: article is Dan Mannigan. The Gates Foundation has launched an
- 2:39Speaker 1: external review of the philanthropy's past ties with notorious sex
- 2:44Speaker 1: offender Jeffrey Epstein, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
- 2:48Speaker 1: And nothing screams transparency like hiring somebody to look into
- 2:52Speaker 1: your bullshit, because that's always worked out so great. When
- 2:56Speaker 1: it comes to Epstein. What they do is they just
- 2:58Speaker 1: hire a law firm that they know is going to
- 3:00Speaker 1: play ball, and then they give that law firm parameters
- 3:03Speaker 1: and access to what they want them to have. It's
- 3:06Speaker 1: like the company's version of having the OIG inspector to
- 3:09Speaker 1: take a look at things. Oh, well, this went wrong
- 3:12Speaker 1: and that went wrong, but it was nobody's fault. It
- 3:14Speaker 1: was a systemic issue, and everybody shares the blame. That's
- 3:17Speaker 1: the sort of horseshit we get from these sort of reviews,
- 3:20Speaker 1: and I expect nothing different here. To cut costs, the
- 3:24Speaker 1: Gates Foundation will eliminate up to five hundred jobs, or
- 3:27Speaker 1: about twenty percent of its staff, by twenty thirty. The
- 3:30Speaker 1: Journal reported, citing an email to staff that the newspaper
- 3:34Speaker 1: reviewed announcing both the job cuts and Epstein ties review. Well,
- 3:38Speaker 1: doesn't Bill Gates plan on donating a bunch of his
- 3:41Speaker 1: money when he dies? Isn't that the big plan? Well?
- 3:44Speaker 1: Why not just do that now and donate your money
- 3:47Speaker 1: to the Gates Foundation to keep it running so people
- 3:50Speaker 1: don't have to lose their jobs. Oh that's right, Bill
- 3:52Speaker 1: Gates wants everybody else to pony up the dough. Got it.
- 3:57Speaker 1: This is a challenging time for our organization in many ways,
- 4:00Speaker 1: but it also highlights the critical importance of taking the
- 4:04Speaker 1: tough actions now, Gates Foundation CEO Mark Seusman reportedly said
- 4:09Speaker 1: in the memo. The journal said the foundation, which has
- 4:13Speaker 1: a twenty twenty six budget of about nine billion, plans
- 4:17Speaker 1: to cap operating expenses at about one point twenty five billion.
- 4:21Speaker 1: Pocket change for Bill Gates and his friends. Right, they
- 4:25Speaker 1: should be able to come up with that, no problem.
- 4:27Speaker 1: If he really cares about what's going on and it's
- 4:30Speaker 1: a mission close to his heart, I'm sure he could
- 4:32Speaker 1: come up with the dough. But the truth is, Bill Gates,
- 4:35Speaker 1: like everybody else, wants to use other people's money and
- 4:39Speaker 1: It's one thing to give grandiose speeches and talk about
- 4:43Speaker 1: how this is gonna be great, and that's gonna be great,
- 4:45Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. It's a whole lass other thing
- 4:48Speaker 1: to put your own money behind it. The Gates Foundation
- 4:54Speaker 1: was founded by Microsoft co founder Bill Gates and his
- 4:57Speaker 1: ex wife Melinda Gates. Gates schedule to be interviewed about
- 5:01Speaker 1: Epstein on June tenth by the House Oversight and Government
- 5:05Speaker 1: Reform Committee. So we don't need to speak to Pam Bondy,
- 5:10Speaker 1: but we need to speak to Bill Gates, all right,
- 5:12Speaker 1: I guess I mean definitely somebody that should be talked to,
- 5:16Speaker 1: but brought in before Pambondy. Let's not get carried away.
- 5:22Speaker 1: This is more showmanship, and this is what I have
- 5:24Speaker 1: a big problem with. This is not a game. And
- 5:28Speaker 1: there's way too many people that treat it like some
- 5:31Speaker 1: sort of political hunger games, and that's not what it is.
- 5:37Speaker 1: There's people who were hurt here, a lot of people,
- 5:39Speaker 1: and not just by the people that were with Epstein,
- 5:42Speaker 1: and not just by Epstein himself, but by the government
- 5:46Speaker 1: and by the government's in action and refusal the whole
- 5:49Speaker 1: people accountable. And while I think that Bill Gates is
- 5:52Speaker 1: an absolute liar and a piece of trash. I don't
- 5:55Speaker 1: think he played anywhere near the role that had somebody
- 5:58Speaker 1: like Pambondy did. I mean, did Bill Gates control the DOJ?
- 6:03Speaker 1: Was he in charge of the cover up? No, he wasn't,
- 6:07Speaker 1: just another person that benefited from the DOJ looking the
- 6:11Speaker 1: other way. And at this point, I think that's the
- 6:13Speaker 1: real problem. And I think that if anybody wants real
- 6:17Speaker 1: justice and they want changes, that's where we're going to focus.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Because people, real people made the decisions that led us
- 6:25Speaker 1: to the place where we are now, and those people
- 6:28Speaker 1: need to be held accountable. The Gates Foundation, in an
- 6:32Speaker 1: email to CNBC said, for context, as we noted to
- 6:36Speaker 1: the WSJ, neither of the announcements included in the article
- 6:39Speaker 1: published today are new, and this was expected. There was
- 6:44Speaker 1: definitely going to be a drawdown for the Gates Foundation,
- 6:47Speaker 1: and a lot of that has to do with what's
- 6:49Speaker 1: going on with Jeffrey Epstein, and the ghost of Epstein
- 6:53Speaker 1: continues to reach out from the grave and latch itself
- 6:57Speaker 1: onto the ankle of Bill Gates. And look, it's his
- 7:01Speaker 1: own fault. Gate should have gotten on top of this
- 7:04Speaker 1: from the very beginning, should have come out and told
- 7:07Speaker 1: everybody what the deal was. Because if you don't get
- 7:09Speaker 1: in front of the narrative and you don't tell the
- 7:11Speaker 1: story the truth, people are going to tell that story
- 7:14Speaker 1: for you, and they're not going to be anywhere near
- 7:16Speaker 1: as kind to you as you'd like them to be.
- 7:19Speaker 1: And guess what, you have no one to blame but yourself.
- 7:23Speaker 1: When somebody lies about something continuously all the time, why
- 7:26Speaker 1: should anybody believe anything they have to say? After that,
- 7:31Speaker 1: You've been lying to us for all these years. Now
- 7:33Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you want us to believe you. Sorry,
- 7:36Speaker 1: why should we It's not like you have real regret.
- 7:39Speaker 1: You regret that we know. And that's not good enough
- 7:43Speaker 1: for me, and I don't think it's good enough for anybody.
- 7:48Speaker 1: These were included in an update from CEO Mark Susman
- 7:52Speaker 1: to all Foundation employees on a range of topics related
- 7:55Speaker 1: to foundation operations. The Foundation said, pointing to press releases
- 7:59Speaker 1: about the budget cap and the review of Epstein's relations
- 8:03Speaker 1: with the Foundation released earlier this year. In February, Bill
- 8:07Speaker 1: Gates apologized to the Foundation staff for his association with
- 8:11Speaker 1: Epstein and admitted having affairs with two Russian women, which
- 8:15Speaker 1: Epstein learned of the journal previously reported. I don't buy
- 8:18Speaker 1: that part of the story. I believe that Epstein was
- 8:21Speaker 1: involved in facilitating those meetups, and I think that as
- 8:25Speaker 1: we move forward and more evidence comes out, that's going
- 8:28Speaker 1: to be proven to be true. And I think that
- 8:32Speaker 1: Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein were a lot closer than
- 8:36Speaker 1: we're ever going to know. Do we really think that
- 8:40Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein only had that one email address, he didn't
- 8:44Speaker 1: have some clandestine burner account that he used for more,
- 8:47Speaker 1: let us say, lascivious types of conversations. I'm guessing he did.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Gates told staff I did nothing elicit I saw nothing
- 8:59Speaker 1: a listen the newspaper reported. Well, besides the fact that
- 9:02Speaker 1: some of his quote unquote assistants were also people that
- 9:05Speaker 1: were abused, I mean that might be something that you saw. Huh.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Never saw any girls around the house, Never saw Nadia Marsenkova.
- 9:15Speaker 1: I have a hard time believing that mister Gates. Gates
- 9:18Speaker 1: became friends with Epstein in twenty eleven, three years after
- 9:21Speaker 1: Epstein pleaded guilty in Florida state court to soliciting an
- 9:25Speaker 1: underage girl for prostitution. Epstein killed himself in August twenty
- 9:30Speaker 1: nineteen while in a New York City federal jail, weeks
- 9:33Speaker 1: after his arrest on child sex trafficking charges. Well there
- 9:37Speaker 1: you go, folks, Dan Mannigan says that Epstein killed himself,
- 9:40Speaker 1: so the investigation's over. We should just move on. I
- 9:43Speaker 1: always love it when they're so definitive about how Epstein died.
- 9:47Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well you know he died of suicide in jail.
- 9:50Speaker 1: Oh oh, okay. Cool. Meanwhile, with all the evidence that
- 9:53Speaker 1: we have now, I don't know how anyone can be
- 9:56Speaker 1: confident in that line of thinking. And that's why we've
- 9:58Speaker 1: gone through those deposition so you could see how evasive
- 10:03Speaker 1: and how many lives were told by the people that
- 10:05Speaker 1: were supposed to safeguard Epstein. And it wasn't one or
- 10:08Speaker 1: two people, it was coordinated. Berkshire Hathaway chairman Warren Buffett
- 10:15Speaker 1: told CNBC in March that he has not spoken to
- 10:18Speaker 1: Gates since details of Epstein's communication with Gates were revealed
- 10:22Speaker 1: in documents released by Congress and by the Justice Department.
- 10:27Speaker 1: I don't want to be in a position where I
- 10:28Speaker 1: know things to be called as a witness, said Buffett,
- 10:32Speaker 1: who since two thousand and six has donated more than
- 10:35Speaker 1: forty three billion to the Gates Foundation. Yikes, forty three
- 10:39Speaker 1: billion to Jeffrey Epstein's homie. Now, of course, that doesn't
- 10:43Speaker 1: mean that Warren Buffett had any idea what was going on.
- 10:46Speaker 1: But anybody who gets to the point that Warren Buffett
- 10:49Speaker 1: got to, you know that they've thrown some elbows in
- 10:51Speaker 1: their time. And we all know that to a mass
- 10:54Speaker 1: of fortune like the one that Warren Buffett has, you
- 10:57Speaker 1: have to play very, very close to the lawne. And
- 11:02Speaker 1: I'm sure that mister Buffett has done his share of
- 11:05Speaker 1: playing close to the line. But that doesn't mean he
- 11:08Speaker 1: was somebody that was with Epstein, right. I certainly never
- 11:11Speaker 1: saw that, no evidence of that, but he was adjacent,
- 11:16Speaker 1: and that was through Bill Gates. And he understands that
- 11:19Speaker 1: Warren Buffett's not a stupid man, so he stopped all
- 11:22Speaker 1: funding to the Bill Gates Foundation because he knows that
- 11:25Speaker 1: there's a lot of there there. And I think that's
- 11:28Speaker 1: one of the biggest tells when it comes to Bill
- 11:30Speaker 1: Gates and his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, and when Warren
- 11:34Speaker 1: Buffett abandoned shit, you know, that disaster is certainly not
- 11:38Speaker 1: far behind. All the information that goes with this episode
