Larry Summers, Jeffrey Epstein and the Middle East Briefing (7/30/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. Over in the UK, we've talked about Peter Mandelsson,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: and we've talked about Prince Andrew and the fact that
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: they allegedly were passing Jeffrey Epstein confidential information. Well, I
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: think that same question should be asked about Larry Summers.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: What did he give Jeffrey Epstein as far as confidential information?
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: How many secrets of America did Larry Summers spill? And
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I think all of that's relevant, And I think all
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: those questions need to be asked under oath, not voluntarily,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: not at his convenience, but under oath, Because if you
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: don't think that Jeffrey Epstein was trying to utilize his
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: friendship with Larry Summers to enrich himself somehow, you have
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: not been paying attention. That is the only reason that
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein engaged in these relationships. It wasn't out of
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the kindness of his heart. He wasn't altruistic, he wasn't
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: trying to save the world. He was trying to consolidate
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: his power. So the question is just how much help
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: did he get from Larry Summers to do that? Today's
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: article is from the Eastern Herald and the headline Larry
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Summers twenty thirteen Middle East Briefing surfaces in the Epstein files.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: This article was authored by Newsroom. A two page Middle
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: East policy briefing bearing Larry Summer's name and House Oversight
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Committee document numbers have surfaced in the Epstein files, providing
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: a window into the kind of material that flowed through
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the former Treasury Secretary's connection to Jeffrey Epstein during the
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Arab Spring, and if you remember, a lot of that
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Arab Spring was astroturfed by the CIA. Let's just call
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: it what it is, right. The document cataloged his House
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Oversite pages zero two nine six eight nine and zero
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: two nine six' nine zero covers political and security conditions
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: across Countries, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Jordan, Syria, Israel, Baran, Iran
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Saudi arabia And yemen from Late january to Mid february
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: of twenty. Thirteen the Name Larry summers appears at the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: top the scope of the analysis covering everything From tunisia's
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: political assassination crisis to nuclear negotiations Between iran AND p
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: five plus, one and it reflects the kind of synthesis
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: typically prepared for heads of state or senior policy, officials
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: not casual. Correspondence and that's Because Jeffrey epstein was looped.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: In and at this, POINT i think you'd be crazy
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to think That Larry summers didn't pass on confidential information
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: To Jeffrey. Epstein, now, look we don't have evidence of
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: that that's available to, us but i'll tell you. What
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: it's not looking good for Mister. Summers AND i think
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the same kind of investigation that we see With mandelsh
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: or With Prince andrew should happen. Here how many officials
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: were Giving Jeffrey epstein information In america what he was
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: only getting information from people in The english. Government what
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the document cannot establish by itself is Whether somers wrote
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the briefing For epstein directly forwarded in existing, analysis or
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: whether it Reached epstein through another. Route summers has not
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: addressed this document. Specifically what The White house oversight material
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: as a whole have established is That Summers epstein relationship was,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: substantative long, running and extended well beyond the social introduction
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: that first drew. Scrutiny, oh there is no doubt they
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: were super Close Larry summers spent his fucking honeymoon On epstein's.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: ISLAND i would say they're pretty. Close and If Ted
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: waite had to give a, deposition Then Larry summers bitch
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: ass should. Too summers introduced Former President clinton To epstein
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: in the early two. Thousands uh, What how's that possible
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Because Jeffrey epstein was already at The White house before
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the Seventeen. Times but, Okay clinton testified before The House
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Oversight committee In. March he. LIED i told you during
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the testimony That Bill clinton was lying and real. TALK
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: i don't think one single person that has been Before
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: congress has told us the whole. Truth summers said that
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: he Described epstein as an information a hungry person who
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: had contributed several million dollars The brain. Research when the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: committee released emails Between summers And epstein from around twenty,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: nineteen exchanges in Which summers sought personal advice From, Epstein
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: summers publicly stated he was deeply ashamed of his actions
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and resigned from the board Of OPEN ai days. Later,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: well he should have never been on the. Board people
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: act like they didn't know about. This they. Did we've
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: been talking About Larry summers for how long and the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: role that he played all of a, sudden it's a big,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: surprise a big. Shock tenty thirteen briefing adds a different
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: dimension to that. Record the twenty nineteen emails showed the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: personal register of the. Relationship the, briefing prepared six years,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: earlier shows its intellectual one a Former Treasury secretary's country
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: by country foreign policy survey requiring access to senior diplomatic
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: reporting art officials who had it was In epstein's possession
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and Bears epstein's congressional document. Numbers so that's a big.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Deal this man should not have had this, information but he.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Did and it sure looks Like Larry summers was the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: source of that information making its way To epstein's. Ands
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: so what are we going to do about? It was
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: any crime? Committee we have no idea because THE doj
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: refuses to. Investigate BUT i think the truth is overwhelming
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: at this, point and the more they, refuse the more
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: they show us their. Hand its contents reflect the urgency
• 5:57
