Bill Gates, Epstein, and the Fallout Inside the Gates Foundation (4/22/26) · The Epstein Chronicles

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