The Epstein Shadow Over Bill Gates’ Philanthropic Empire Sparks Billionaire Revolt · The Epstein Chronicles

Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
0:03
Epstein Chronicles. When it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, we've heard
0:07
every excuse in the book from people who are around
0:11
them who want to now deny that there were friends
0:14
with them. But one of the most ridiculous parts of
0:17
all of it are these billionaires that want to try
0:21
and tell us that they were around Epstein because he
0:24
was going to donate to their charity. You really mean
0:28
to tell me you needed Jeffrey Epstein's money. Bill Gates
0:32
bro has more money than God. He could fund these
0:36
projects on his own, but he's reaching out to Jeffrey
0:40
Epstein because he needs some money for his charity. It
0:44
was never something that was based in reality. We all
0:47
knew that there was something else going on there, and
0:49
of course we've come to find out that the things
0:52
that Bill Gates has been denying about Jeffrey Epstein have
0:57
turned out to be true, at least some of them.
1:00
We know the Bridge player is true, and we know
1:02
that there was at least one other affair that Bill
1:04
Gates was engaged in that was related to Epstein as well,
1:10
and that doesn't even begin to touch all the other
1:12
lies that Bill Gates has told over the years about
1:15
the relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and the nexus of that relationship,
1:19
And now that the speculation has been proven to be real,
1:23
a lot of these billionaires that have pledged to do
1:27
what Bill Gates is doing by giving away all of
1:30
his money and shit, well, they're running for the hills.
1:33
Nobody wants to be associated with Jeffrey Epstein's buddy, Bill Gates,
1:37
not anymore. And in my opinion, it's a long time coming.
1:43
How does a guy that creates a computer program sit
1:46
on an ivory tower and tell me about health issues? Like,
1:50
for real, here's an idea, make sure that windows stops crashing.
1:55
Don't worry about my health. The last thing any of
1:58
us want or need is some billionaire making pretend he
2:02
cares about the future of humanity. We all know he
2:05
doesn't care about humanity, and that Bill Gates, like all
2:09
these other people, cares about Bill Gates. So today we
2:12
have an article from the New York Post and the
2:15
headline billionaire's bolt from Bill Gates scandal scarred giving pledge
2:20
as critics branded Epstein adjacent. This article was authored by
2:25
Ariel Zilber. The Bill Gates back campaign urging billionaires to
2:31
donate most of their fortunes to good causes, is reportedly
2:35
facing backlash as tech moguls mock the Philanthropy Club and
2:39
Gates recently revealed ties to lay financier and sex offender
2:44
Jeffrey Epstein continue to shadow the initiative. Well, it was
2:48
probably Epstein's idea. All right, maybe that's a little too far,
2:51
but you get the drift right. Nobody wants the scent
2:54
of Jeffrey Epstein on them, nobody, And that should tell
2:58
you everything you need to know. And it's also disgusting
3:03
how the legacy media has largely forgot about the story.
3:07
All they want to talk about is Iran. And look,
3:09
I've been trying to tell you for a long time
3:11
that the legacy media they only care about this story
3:15
when it's driving clicks, right, when it's running engagement. But
3:20
when that goes away, so does their interest. It's all
3:23
about profiting for a lot of people. So when the
3:27
next disaster pops up, everybody just becomes an expert about
3:31
that topic. But when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, even
3:35
though this story is not the number one story right
3:37
now due to the war in Iran, it's not going away.
3:41
And roughly fifty percent of people in America, according to
3:45
a new poll, think that the war in Iran was
3:48
started to cover up for these files. And I think
3:52
that that is pretty reflective from what I'm hearing from
3:55
people out there who think that all of this is
3:58
nothing more then Donald Trump wagging the dog and look
4:03
very possible. I'm not going to sit here and tell
4:05
you it's not. But I'm also not going to sit
4:07
here and tell you that that's for sure what's going on,
4:10
because I don't have that kind of information and I
4:12
respect all of you too much to bullshit you. I'm
4:16
not here to drive engagement. I'm not here to get
4:18
a fat ass paycheck from insert sponsor here. I'm here
4:23
to drive this story home and hopefully open up a
4:27
few doors for people who might otherwise not have had
4:30
access to the story. And in my opinion, I don't
4:33
think that anything else can be dealt with until we
4:36
deal with this. This is the rot that is infecting
4:41
the actual heart of America and it needs to be
4:44
dealt with one way or the other. And I don't
4:47
care what kind of distractions they throw up, whether it's
4:50
a war, an alien ship, approach and earth whatever. I
4:54
don't care. This is what we're going to talk about
4:57
on this podcast. Because when I tell you that those
5:00
boats have been burned on the beach, I mean it.
5:03
There is no going back for me. Critics like Peter Thiel,
5:08
who is not a signatory, have derided the Giving Pledge
5:11
initiative as an Epstein adjacent fake boomers club and privately
5:16
urge fellow billionaires, including Elon Musk, to abandon the pledge.
5:20
According to The New York Times, well that's pretty funny.
5:23
Peter Thiel is calling somebody else Epstein adjacent, breaking news.
5:27
You're all Epstein adjacent stupid, and it all plays into
5:30
their nonsense. Whenever they think they can weaponize Epstein against
5:35
an enemy, they most certainly will. But when they think
5:38
that the weaponization is harmful to them or their narrative,
5:42
oh it's just a big hoax. And I'm getting tired
5:45
of that shit too. The old told Musk he should
5:50
pull out of the initiative because his money would go
5:53
to left wing nonprofits that will be chosen by Bill Gates,
5:56
The Times reported, citing a recent speech that pil gave. Now, look,
6:01
I'm certainly not giving my money to Bill Gates, and
6:06
if I was some kind of billionaire, I'd be the
6:08
shepherd of that money. I'd be deciding where it was
6:11
gonna go. And frankly, if I wanted to give it away,
6:14
I'd go to the neighborhoods I grew up in, and
6:16
I'd go door to door and I'd give that money
6:19
away to the people, not to some big ass corporation
6:24
or some big ass five oh one three c or
6:26
whatever They're just gonna waste the money. I'd go right
6:30
back to my neighborhoods in South Yonkers, the South Bronx,
6:34
and East Las Vegas, and I'd give that money to
6:38
the people directly. The difference between me and Bill Gates, though,
6:42
is that Bill Gates didn't grow up poor. But the
6:44
point still stands, give it to the people directly. Why
6:48
do you want to give it to these corporations or
6:50
these charities or only pennies on the dollar end up
6:53
in the hands of the people that need it the most.
6:55
So I've always said that if I ever get a bag,
6:57
if I ever become rich, that's that's what I'm gonna do.
7:02
I'll go to my local Walmart and pay lay away
7:04
for people and just boogy out without anybody knowing it
7:07
was me. Or like hospital bills, right, go to the hospital,
7:11
find out who's in dereliction, and just pay those bills.
7:14
If you want to help people and you want to
7:16
help the most vulnerable amongst us, that's how you do it,
7:20
giving it to charities so they can do whatever they
7:22
want with it. Zero chance. Gates has come under fire
7:26
in recent weeks after he admitted to cheating on his
7:28
then wife, Melinda Frenchgates with two Russian women that he
7:32
met through the late Jeffrey Epstein, and he lied about it.
7:36
So if you lie about that, what else is he
7:38
lying about. I keep saying this all the time, and
7:42
I'll continue to say it. When you show me and
7:46
tell me who you are, I'm gonna believe you, because
7:49
when I meet somebody, I go into that introduction thinking
7:54
that the person's a decent person. Right. I always give
7:56
everybody enough rope to hang themselves. But when you're out
8:00
here lying and bullshitting and telling me you have no
8:03
idea who Jeffrey Epstein is and that you guys only
8:06
had a cup of coffee together and talked about philanthropy,
8:09
and then we find out it's something different. Well, my friend,
8:12
you are now on the clock, and what was speculation
8:16
previously has now been confirmed. The pledge has also drawn
8:23
criticism from some tech investors, who argue that modern philanthropy
8:28
has intertwined with progressive politics. Well, there's no doubt about that.
8:34
A lot of these organizations are nothing more than money
8:38
laundering foundations, and people like Jeffrey Epstein and people like
8:43
Bill Gates, they wrap themselves in philanthropy and use it
8:46
as armor so that later on down the road when
8:49
they get nailed, they can be like, oh, look what
8:51
I did for humanity. I'm such a great person. I
8:54
donated so much money. I would never do this. Unfortunately
8:58
for them, we're onto their bullshit. It and that shield
9:03
of armor that they've had previously when it comes to philanthropy,
9:06
that's been pierced. So I don't care how much money
9:09
you give or how many righteous causes you champion, because
9:13
it's all fugeesy. You don't really believe in that, you
9:15
don't really feel that way. You're just trying to buy credibility.
9:18
You're just trying to shift the narrative. You're just trying
9:21
to make yourself out to be the good guy, when
9:23
in reality, all these people are the true villains. Critics
9:31
say that many of the nonprofits and foundations favored by
9:34
major donors, particularly those tied to global health, climate initiatives,
9:39
and diversity programs, reflect left leaning priorities, fueling claims that
9:44
giving pledge has become associated with what causes rather than
9:49
political neutral charity. And this is what I'm talking about.
9:53
Why would you want your money to be managed by
9:55
somebody else. Shouldn't you just take that money and put
9:59
it to a cause that's close to your heart, something
10:01
that you want to help out with, something you think
10:04
you can make a difference with. That seems like the
10:06
way to go. Venture capitalist Mark and Dreesen has argued
10:11
that philanthropy once functioned as kind of a reputational bargain
10:15
for billionaires, allowing them to wash away all your sins
10:19
and be recast as virtuous donors. Since then, however, the
10:24
social contract has broken down as criticism of the tech
10:27
sector has intensified. Well, here's an idea. Stop diddling kids
10:32
and supporting people that do. Oh woe is me, nobody's
10:37
buying or bullshit anymore. Whah, go spend your billions and
10:41
shut up. But you're not going to blackmail the American
10:46
people anymore with your financial givings, and you're certainly not
10:49
going to change the narrative. We know what you people are,
10:53
and the rest of the world, well, they're waking up
10:55
to it as well. Brian Armstrong, the air founder of coinbase,
11:01
quietly exited the initiative in twenty twenty four, removing his
11:05
name from the pledge's website five years after signing on.
11:08
The Times reported even some of the early supporters are
11:12
said to be rethinking there are commitments. Larry Ellison, the
11:16
Oracle co founder and one of the original signatories, said
11:20
last year that he was amending his pledge to focus
11:23
more heavily on for profit research ventures. The Times reported,
11:27
Now he'll tell you because this is a financial decision.
11:30
But the truth is he knows that doing this charity
11:34
shit isn't going to provide him the cover that it
11:36
used to. So he's out. That's it, moving on to
11:39
something different. Everything's a hustle to these people. You have
11:44
to understand everything's a transaction and you and I, well,
11:49
we're the currency. Critics have argued the undertaking lacks teeth,
11:55
noting it carries no enforcement mechanism and does not track
11:59
how much money signatories actually donate, allowing billionaires to fulfill
12:03
the promise decades later through their estates. Yeah, after everybody
12:07
got their dough, folks. It's all a hustle. And this
12:11
is what I'm trying to tell you all the time.
12:13
All these really rich people, they don't care about you,
12:17
None of them do. Once you get to that level,
12:21
it's all about profit, that's it, and everything is a
12:26
means that justifies the end. Skeptics also note that much
12:30
of the pledge wealth is routed into private foundations or
12:33
donor advise funds, vehicles that can allow billions to sit
12:37
for years before reaching operating charities. The Times reported, just
12:42
like I was saying earlier, take the money to the people,
12:45
give it to them directly. The kind of shit that
12:48
crime bosses do. Right, Oh, it's Thanksgiving, let's give out
12:51
turkeys in the neighborhood. But no, these people aren't even
12:55
that smart. They really think that everybody's so stupid that
12:59
we're just going to go along. They're nonsense and their
13:01
narrative and think they're these great guys and gals because
13:04
they're donating money. And that's because for years and years,
13:07
that's how the game was played. Do whatever you want
13:10
as a degenerate, then donates the money, and it wipes
13:13
all the sins away. Taren Jensen, the interim head of
13:18
The Giving Pledge, defended the initiative, telling the Post in
13:21
a statement that debate over philanthropy is inevitable and welcome,
13:25
and noting the campaign now includes more than two hundred
13:28
and fifty donors across thirty countries, many of whom have
13:32
already met their commitments or are steadily working toward them.
13:37
Jensen added the goal is to keep building a culture
13:40
where giving is the norm, while helping signatories turn their
13:44
pledges into actions such a Hustle where givings the norm
13:49
to other organizations whose board members, by the way, are
13:53
friends with these billionaires. Talk about a circular system. Launched
14:00
in twenty ten by Bill Gates, Molinda French Gates, and
14:04
Warren Buffett, the Pledge asked the world's wealthiest people to
14:07
commit to giving away the majority of their fortunes to charity,
14:11
either during their lifetimes or after death. Imagine being the
14:14
kid of one of these dudes, and you hear that
14:16
your fortune is being given away thanks Dad appreciate you, Bud.
14:23
Bill Gates has said Epstein, who died by suicide in
14:26
jail in twenty nineteen while awaiting trial on federal sex
14:29
trafficking charges, was one of the factors behind his split
14:33
from his wife of twenty seven years. Gates has acknowledged
14:37
meeting Epstein several times after the latter's two thousand and
14:41
eight conviction for so eliciting sex from a minor, saying
14:44
he regretted the encounters. Oh yeah, he regretted it so
14:49
much that he continued to do it. He regretted it
14:52
so much that he had Epstein took him up with women.
14:56
Does anyone really believe Bill Gates brow your wife to
15:00
did you because you are hanging out with Captain Diddle Supreme?
15:04
But the rest of us should just forgive you French.
15:10
Gates stepped away from the foundation that administers the Giving
15:13
Pledge in twenty twenty four, three years after the divorce.
15:18
I firmly believe in the Giving Pledge and consider it
15:21
quite a success, though my physical limitations have eliminated my
15:26
participation in the annual get together. The ninety five year
15:29
old Buffett, who recently stepped down as CEO of Berkshire.
15:33
Hathaway told The Times, I've continued to contact possible members,
15:37
but only on a minor scale. In recent years, Bill
15:40
Gates has continued major efforts. French Gates has acknowledged that
15:46
the results of the pledge have been uneven. She recently
15:49
told Wired that some participants have donated at a massive scale,
15:54
while others have moved more slowly. Wait a minute, we're
15:57
shocked that billionaires are bullshitting and they're going back on
16:00
their pledges. Well, who would have thought that the smarmy
16:03
ass bankers and the smarmy ass rich people are going
16:07
to be smarmy. Some are doing it and some are
16:09
trying or aren't ready to, she said. French Gates added
16:13
that the initiative has not progressed as far as she
16:16
once hoped. I wish we had been even more successful
16:20
with the pledge than we have been to date, she said.
16:23
It's a problem to continue working on the post. I
16:26
saw a comment from Gates. French Gates feel Ellison, Armstrong
16:30
and Buffett. You know, Bill Gates is his own worst
16:33
enemy here. He should have just been honest from the
16:35
very beginning about Jeffrey Epstein. Yeah, I asked him for
16:39
some money. And yes he did introduce me to a
16:42
couple of women, but everything was contensual, you know, something
16:46
along those lines. But no, Bill Gates had to continue
16:49
to lie, had to deny had the office gate instead
16:53
of just being a man and own an up. And
16:55
of course that's now leading to these people bounce in
16:58
from the initiative. But at the end of the day,
17:00
does it really matter to Bill Gates? Is it going
17:03
to affect them financially? Is it going to affect them
17:06
at all? It's not, And that's because consequences are only
17:09
for people like you and me, never for people like
17:14
Bill Gates. All the information that goes with this episode
