Latest / The Epstein Chronicles / Yale University And It's Long History Of Jeffrey Epstein's Patronage
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
- 0:02Epstein Chronicles. Everybody loves to point the finger at Harvard
- 0:07when Epstein's mess comes up, and don't get me wrong,
- 0:10Harvard has earned every ounce of heated gets. The guy
- 0:14had an office there, gave the money, and they pretended
- 0:17it was all fine, because hey, money talks, right. But
- 0:20here's the thing that nobody likes to say out loud.
- 0:22Harvard wasn't alone, not by a long shot. Yell got
- 0:26their hands dirty. Two Yell, with all their prestige and pomp,
- 0:30didn't have a down problem cashing checks from a creep
- 0:33like Epstein. They were more than happy to slap on
- 0:36a smile, not politely, and help polish up his rotten image.
- 0:39And we're not talking about some back alley operation. This
- 0:42is an Ivy League school, the supposed cream of the crop,
- 0:46the brain trust of America, the ones who like to
- 0:48wag their finger at the rest of us and tell
- 0:50us what's moral, what's right, and what's beneath us. These
- 0:53schools preach leadership, responsibility, and integrity from their ivory towers,
- 0:58and then behind the curtain, their cozying up to a
- 1:00guy who was literally running one of the most vile
- 1:03and predatory operations you could ever imagine. And it wasn't
- 1:06like they didn't, no, don't insult our intelligence. The man's
- 1:11reputation was out there. Who was written about, whispered about,
- 1:14and public enough that any institution worth a damn would
- 1:17have said, no, thanks, we'll pass. But not Harvard, not Yale.
- 1:21They still took his money. Why Because he was useful
- 1:24to them, That's the truth. Nobody at those universities wants
- 1:28to admit. He made them look connected, he made them
- 1:31look plugged into high society. He was their pipeline into
- 1:34the billionaire class, the glittering donors, the circles where favors
- 1:39and checks are handed out like candy. That's what mattered.
- 1:43Not ethics, not decency, not protecting the reputation of their institutions,
- 1:49and sure as hell, not the lives of the victims.
- 1:51They cared about prestige and dollar signs, full stop, and
- 1:55they figured no one would ever call them on it,
- 1:57because hell, who dares cross the IVY League. Now look
- 2:01at how they act today, shocked, appalled, pretending they never
- 2:05knew spare me the performance. They knew what they were doing,
- 2:09and they did it anyway. They thought they were untouchable. Harvard, Yale, Princeton,
- 2:13you name it. They all played ball. They all wanted
- 2:16a piece of the pie. And now that the stinks
- 2:18out in the open, they want to scrub their hands
- 2:21clean and pretend they were never in the room. Give
- 2:24me a break. When Epstein needed legitimacy after his arrest,
- 2:28who do you think gave it to him? Institutions like
- 2:31Yale and Harvard, who let him hover around, stroke checks,
- 2:34fund research, and act like he was still this great
- 2:37patron of science and learning. They put a shine on
- 2:40him when the world was starting to see the dirt.
- 2:42They were part of the cover, part of the pr
- 2:44machine that kept him in the shadows just long enough
- 2:46for him to keep doing what he was doing. Without them,
- 2:50his comeback tour would have been dead on arrival. But no,
- 2:54they let him walk in the front door because money
- 2:56erasist sins when you're wearing Ivy League robes. And for
- 3:00all this, you still see these schools shrugging it off.
- 3:03We're reviewing our donor policies. Oh really reviewing after the fact.
- 3:09You weren't reviewing when he was shaking your hands and
- 3:11cutting checks. You weren't reviewing when his name was plastered
- 3:14on programs and dinners. You aren't reviewing when your professors
- 3:18and administrators were happy to rub elbows with them. No,
- 3:21you're only reviewing now because your asses got caught. So yeah,
- 3:26Harvard gets the headlines and they deserve them. But Yale
- 3:29they don't get to skate. Neither does Princeton, Neither do
- 3:32the others. They were all in the same game, chasing
- 3:35the same money, banging on the same silence, and they
- 3:38thought people weren't paying attention. And they were dead wrong
- 3:42because every working guy in gal every parent who sacrifices
- 3:45to send their kids to school, every taxpayer who props
- 3:48up this broken ass system, we all see it now.
- 3:52The mask is off, the hypocrisy is out there for
- 3:55everyone to see. And if these institutions they can wait
- 4:00us out, think we'll forget, think the story will fade,
- 4:04well they've got another thing coming, because the truth is
- 4:07out now. And it wasn't just Harvard, it was Yale.
- 4:10It was the whole rotten network of elite universities, and
- 4:13they all sold out their souls for Jeffrey Epstein's money.
- 4:18Today's article is from the Yale news and the headline
- 4:21Epstein's two thousand and three birthday albums signed by three
- 4:24former Yale professors. This article was authored by Asher Boyskin.
- 4:31Three former Yale faculty members and other Yale affiliates left
- 4:35personal notes in a fiftieth birthday book for Jeffrey Epstein
- 4:38that a Congressional committee released last month. The House Oversight
- 4:42Committee on September eighth published scans of the two hundred
- 4:46and thirty eight page album, which was assembled in two
- 4:48thousand and three by Epstein's longtime associate you mean, co conspirator,
- 4:52fellow child abuser, general, all around scumbag and bipedal serpent right,
- 4:57Glenn Maxwell, and later obtained through a subpoena of his estate.
- 5:02The outcry over the financier pedophiles sexual abuse of women
- 5:06and girls intensified over the summer after the Justice Department
- 5:10released a memorandum saying it would not release extensive evidence
- 5:13related to him. And that's when this whole thing really
- 5:17blew up, right when they decided to release that letter,
- 5:20because up until then, everybody was under the impression that
- 5:23an investigation was still happening. But the truth is, I
- 5:27don't believe that any investigation was ever even under way.
- 5:31You really think they were still looking for Jeffrey Epstein's associates.
- 5:34Stop it. They don't care, And I'll keep driving that
- 5:37point home as much as I have to. If you
- 5:40think that these people care about Jeffrey Epstein in his crimes,
- 5:42you're crazy. They had every chance in the world to
- 5:45stop this man. They chose not to, all of them.
- 5:51The album's table of contents identifies Mortimer Zuckerman, who once
- 5:55lectured on city and regional planning at Yale, physicist Lie Smolin,
- 5:59a former assistant professor in the eighties, and psychiatrist Henry
- 6:03Jureki and adjunct who retired from the School of Medicine
- 6:07last year, as contributors. Now, of course, all these people
- 6:10will tell you they have no idea what was going on,
- 6:12and according to them, Epstein was an upstanding guy, right,
- 6:16hell of a fella, that Jeffrey Epstein guy. None of
- 6:20the three former faculty members responded to the News request
- 6:23for comment, And that's what happens time and time again.
- 6:26People get called out for their relationships with Epstein, and
- 6:29then they just turtle up, so that leads to people
- 6:31thinking they have something to hide. Now, Can you imagine
- 6:35somebody saying that you were friends with this dude or
- 6:37that you were involved with his abuse or whatever, and
- 6:39not defending your name. I don't know anybody who's just
- 6:42going to turtle up and not have any kind of
- 6:45comment or challenge the assertions that are being made about them, unless,
- 6:50of course, you have something to hide. The album also
- 6:53features notes or images from Nobel Laureate Murray Gentleman forty eight,
- 6:58Epstein's longtime atturne Y Alan Dershowitz Law sixty two, and
- 7:03former President Bill Clinton Law seventy three. It's a big club, folks,
- 7:09and none of us are invited. And I mean this
- 7:11goes all the way back to you know, Bush in
- 7:13the Skull and Bones Society and all these different groups
- 7:15that these people are part of that people like us
- 7:18would be laughed out of. You really think if you
- 7:21or I showed up to one of these parties or
- 7:23one of these events, we become part of the crew.
- 7:26That's not how this works. You have to be born
- 7:28into it, right, or you have to have so much
- 7:30money you force your way into it. The rest of us, well,
- 7:34we're just pieces on the chessboard. The Delhi Pennsylvanian reported
- 7:39that University of Pennsylvania alumni such as President Donald Trump, Zuckerman,
- 7:44seventy two Nobel Prize winner Gerald Edelman, and Philadelphia seventy
- 7:49six Ers owner Josh Harris signed the album. And Harris
- 7:52shouldn't surprise anybody, now, Josh Harris also was a partner
- 7:57at Apollo Global with Leon Black, and there was this
- 8:01big kerfluffle over Leon Black's departure that led to Mark
- 8:05Rowan taking over who was the third partner, and that
- 8:08ice Josh Harris out, and that's why Josh Harris ended
- 8:12up leaving Apollo Global. But as far as Josh Harris
- 8:16having some kind of relationship with Epstein besides that, I
- 8:19don't know. Honestly, I don't know. Maybe maybe they did,
- 8:23but it seems like Josh Harris was one of the
- 8:26factors of Leon Black leaving Apollo Global. So I'm not
- 8:30too sure how far Josh Harris and Jeffrey Epstein's relationship go,
- 8:34but they definitely were friendly, or at the very least
- 8:36they've met before and had some association. And The Harvard
- 8:41Crimson reported that two time acting Harvard to President Henry Rossowsky,
- 8:45among several other university affiliates also contributed. Lie Smolin, who
- 8:51taught physics at Yale from eighty four to eighty eight
- 8:54as an assistant professor, has made major contributions to the
- 8:57field of theoretical physics, appears an Epstein's birthday book under
- 9:01the category of scientists. In twenty nineteen. Smolin told a Verge,
- 9:05a technology news outlet that he saw Epstein at scientific
- 9:09conferences in two thousand and seven and had no contact
- 9:12with him since two thousand and eight. I was one
- 9:14of his first students. Vicar Hussein, who was a student
- 9:18from eighty five to eighty nine who took a course
- 9:20on general relativity with Smolin at Yale and later had
- 9:24him as his doctoral advisor, wrote to the News. He
- 9:27noted that it was difficult to first working with Smolin,
- 9:30as he approached research like an artist, loved crazy ideas,
- 9:34did not encourage regular meetings, and let students explore freely. Well,
- 9:39I don't know anything about how the scientific process works,
- 9:41but seems like a good way to go about it, right.
- 9:44You want people to be independent thinkers, want them to
- 9:47try and solve some problems, so that doesn't sound so bad.
- 9:51Hussein added that Smollin's inclusion in the album came as
- 9:54a bit of a surprise. But on the other hand,
- 9:56Epstein was known to collect people, including prominent act dmics,
- 10:00by organizing fully funded conferences in exotic locations. Let me
- 10:05translate that for you. What he means by exotic location
- 10:08is Jeffrey Epstein's disgusting ass island. That's what he means.
- 10:12Henry Dureki, identified as a friend, praised Epstein in his
- 10:16note for teaching him more than I expected to at
- 10:19this time of my life. And all these crazy notes
- 10:22that were sent to Epstein, We're gonna have to dive
- 10:24deeper into them because I'm sure some of them have
- 10:27double meanings. Now, not all of them, obviously, but some
- 10:30of them, I bet you they do. You really think
- 10:33these guys didn't share some kind of inside joke. They
- 10:36most certainly did. He included a message from his house
- 10:40astrologer describing Epstein as a fiercely intelligent, highly complex individual
- 10:45who favored working in private or better Yet, are a
- 10:48secrecy A house astrologer? Say what now? A house astrologer?
- 10:55I mean, how much more evidence do we need before
- 10:57we admit that these people are fucking Jareki was sued
- 11:02last year in federal court in New York by a
- 11:05woman claiming to be a victim of sexual abuse by
- 11:08Jeffrey Epstein. In the complaint, which refers to the woman
- 11:11as Jane eleven, Jareki is accused of Rapinger on multiple
- 11:15occasions between twenty eleven and twenty fourteen, after Epstein referred
- 11:20her to the psychiatrist for mental health treatment following his
- 11:23own alleged sexual abuses. In April, the unnamed woman voluntarily
- 11:28dropped her lawsuit against Jareki, according to court filings. In
- 11:32November of twenty twenty three, Joareki was celebrated in a
- 11:36medical school press release for having been awarded the Pardres
- 11:40Humanitarian Prize in Mental Health by the Brain and Behavior
- 11:44Research Foundation. Well that's pretty crazy, huh. This celebrated brain
- 11:48doctor doesn't have a brain in his head hanging out
- 11:51with Epstein. Fuck is wrong with you. Jareki retired from
- 11:56the School of Medicine in twenty twenty four, according to
- 11:59a Universe City spokesperson. Zuckerman, also listed as a friend,
- 12:04was the editor in chief of the US News and
- 12:06World Report and owner of the New York Deli News
- 12:10He pledged two hundred million to Columbia University in twenty
- 12:13twelve to establish the Mind Brain Behavior Institute, though he
- 12:17paused millions in funding in twenty twenty four, citing the
- 12:21university's failure to address rising anti semitism on campus. Well,
- 12:26who cares about molesters? Right? Who cares about human trafficking
- 12:30rings on campus? But God forbid, somebody speaks out and
- 12:33has a different opinion. And look before you jumped any conclusions,
- 12:37not saying it's right or wrong, not saying I agree
- 12:39with it. But people are allowed to protest, at least
- 12:42as far as I'm concerned. If you're not being violent,
- 12:45you should be able to protest. But you have people
- 12:48like Zuckerman and Les Wexner and all these other donors
- 12:52who were more fired up about people protesting on campus
- 12:56than they ever were about breaking bread with Jeffrey Epstein.
- 13:00Zuckerman was invited to speak at a Yale Political Union
- 13:02event in ninety three. Gentleman, a Yale alumnus who won
- 13:07the nineteen sixty nine Nobel Prize in physics and taught
- 13:11at cal Tech, signed a page with a photo of
- 13:14himself yawning. Dershowitz who edited the Yale Law Journal and
- 13:18graduated first in his class, also wrote an entry in
- 13:21the Birthday Book. Dershowitz, a longtime Harvard law professor, served
- 13:25on Epstein's legal defense team and helped Epstein secure the
- 13:28two thousand and eight plea deal in which Epstein pleaded
- 13:31guilty in Florida to two stay charges of soliciting a
- 13:35minor for prostitution. You cannot solicit a minor for prostitution.
- 13:39Miners cannot consent. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
- 13:43Dershowitz has said that he did not recall contributing an
- 13:46entry to the Birthday Book. Of course he didn't. This
- 13:49guy has more memory problems than anybody on Earth, well
- 13:52unless you ask him about, you know, any kind of
- 13:54massage or any kind of hanging out with Epstein. Off
- 13:57the books. An entry attributed to Clinton is included in
- 14:03the Birthday Album. Clinton flew on Epstein's private plane on
- 14:06four separate occasions for trips on behalf of the Clinton Foundation.
- 14:11Way more times than that. Get your shit together, yell
- 14:14Deli News. Four times, You mean about forty times? How
- 14:19about the fact that he had his own plane on
- 14:21the seat? How about the fact that he got himself
- 14:23a nice little massage in the airport from Chante Davies,
- 14:26a trafficking victim. Give me a break, dude. President Clinton
- 14:32knows nothing about the terrible crimes. Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty
- 14:35to Angel Arena. A spokesperson for Bill Clinton said in
- 14:39a statement posted online by a spokesperson in twenty nineteen, folks,
- 14:43I have some breaking news. Bill Clinton is a liar.
- 14:47Epstein was visiting a fellow in Harvard's psychology department during
- 14:51the two thousand and five two thousand and six year,
- 14:54according to a twenty twenty Harvard report on his ties
- 14:57to the university. So look, it's not just Harvard, and
- 15:01it's not just Yale. All of these colleges from Arizona State,
- 15:06I mean, you name it. They were all accepting Jeffrey
- 15:08Epstein's money. They were all accepting his patronage, and they
- 15:12all knew what he was. But now that the chips
- 15:14are down and the house of cards has come tumbling down,
- 15:17now you had no idea who he was or what
- 15:19he was. Nice try, but I have bad news for you.
- 15:24Nobody buys it. Not the polar Bears of the Great
- 15:26White North and not the penguins down in Antarctica. Nobody's
- 15:30buying the bs that you're selling, all right, folks, that's
- 15:35gonna do it for this one. All of the information
- 15:37that goes with this episode can be found in the
