• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Get tickets now. What's up, everyone, and welcome back to
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to pick
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: up where we left off in the Wall Street Journal
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: article talking about Bill Gates and how Jeffrey Epstein was
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: allegedly blackmailing him. This article was published by the Wall
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Street Journal, and the author of this article is Khadija
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Safdar and Emily Glazer. Bill Gates, who has a net
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: worth in excess of $ 100 billion, one of the world's
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: biggest philanthropists, was among the most well-known names in Epstein's calendar.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: And the calendar was a who's who's list of people
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: in the tech sector, people in entertainment, people from politics,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: you name it. Every walk of life, wherever power could
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: be found, that's where you can find the tentacle of
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. The man infiltrated every single walk of life
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: pretty much, from the financial sector all the way down
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: to modeling. Starting in 2011, Gates had more than half
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: a dozen meetings scheduled with Epstein, including dinners at Epstein's
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: New York townhouse document show. Gates flew on Epstein's private
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: plane from New Jersey to Florida in March 2013, according
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to flight records. long after Jeffrey Epstein was already a
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: sex offender. And what are you doing flying from Teterboro
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: down to Florida? Did you guys go to the mansion?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Where'd you guys go? What'd you do? And who did
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you two degenerates do it with? That same month, the
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: two men then met in France with an official on
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the Nobel Peace Prize Committee. They spent much of the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: day together in New York in September 2014, meeting other billionaires,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the Journal reported. Gates has said he learned to play
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: bridge from his parents, and the card game became one
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of his favorite hobbies. Gates played with Anna Tanova, another
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: devotee of the game. She attended university in Russia between
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: 2000 and 2005, according to her LinkedIn profile. She later
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: founded a bridge club in the U.S. before taking on
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: several roles as a software engineer in the Bay Area.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Her LinkedIn profile shows, Must be nice to have all
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: kinds of hookups. Must be nice to be the ex-Paramore
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: of Bill Gates. I would guess that you'd get some
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: opportunities that other people might not get. In a video
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: posted online in 2010, Antonova talked about meeting Gates at
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: a bridge tournament and playing against the Microsoft co-founder. I
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: didn't beat him, but I tried to kick him with
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: my leg, she said in the video. You got Bill
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Gates over here playing bridge. and as much as we
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: all hate Zuckerberg, at least the dude's out there doing
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: some jujitsu and doing some kind of, you know, physical activity. Meanwhile,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: goofy-ass Bill Gates is hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein and
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: playing bridge. Antonova had an idea to start an online
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: business to teach people how to play bridge, and she
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: sought funds for it, according to documents viewed by the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal. Boris Nikolic, a Gates confidant, and top
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: science advisor at the time, who also knew Epstein, introduced
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Anitonova to Epstein to help her raise the funds the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: documents show. Nikolic said when he first met Epstein, it
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: was in his capacity as Gates' scientific advisor, and they
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: discussed philanthropic proposals. I deeply regret that I ever met Epstein,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Nikolic said. His crimes were despicable. I never saw anything
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: like his illegal behavior. My heart goes out to the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: victims and their families. And the relationship between Boris Nikolic
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and Jeffrey Epstein still hasn't been vetted correctly. Why would
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein name this dude as one of the executors
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: of his estate if they don't even really know each other?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Especially considering... The other two executors of the estate are
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: longtime confidants and trusted associates of Jeffrey Epstein. So why
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: would Boris Nikolic be added to that group? That's a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: question to ponder, huh? Antonova and Nikolic met at Epstein's
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: townhouse in November 2013, where she presented her proposal to Epstein,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: who provided feedback documents show. She was looking to raise $ 500, 000
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: for the venture, which she called Bridge Planet. Its mission
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: was to promote Bridge by creating quality tutorials for beginners
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and advanced players. So how would that project make money?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: On advertisements or selling the tutorials? Because $ 500, 000 as startup money?
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: You would think you'd want to see a return on
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that investment, right? On November 9th, Antonova wrote an email
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to thank Epstein for the meeting and reviewing the proposal.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Epstein ultimately didn't invest in the project, according to Antonova.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: The next year, in November 2014, Antonova stayed briefly at
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: an apartment in New York City provided by Epstein. I
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: didn't interact with him or with anyone else while there,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: she said. That apartment wouldn't be located on 66th Street,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: would it? After she failed to secure funding for Bridge Planet,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Antonova said she decided to become a software programmer and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: asked several people to lend her money for a programming
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: boot camp. Epstein agreed to pay, and he paid directly
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to the school. Nothing was exchanged. I don't know why
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: he did that, she said. When I asked, he said
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: something like he was wealthy and wanted to help people
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: when he could. Oh yeah, Jeffrey Epstein, Mr. Helpful. Mr.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Helpful himself. Jeffrey Epstein never did anything unless he was
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: getting something on the back end. The question is here,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: what was he getting from Antonova? While he was meeting
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: with Gates, Epstein also had multiple meetings scheduled with other
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: people close to Gates, including Nikolic, former Microsoft executive Nathan Myhrvold,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and Gates Foundation staffer Melanie Walker. The documents show, and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: remember Melanie Walker was the neurosurgeon that was palling around
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: with Prince Andrew down at Zorro Ranch. Remember she came
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and asked the staff, about a special tea that she
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: could possibly make to get Prince Andrew a bit worked up,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: if you will. Oh yeah, we covered that as well.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: So all of these people are connected. This nexus runs
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: deep and all of these webs are interconnected. At the time,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Epstein was trying to set up a multi-billion dollar charitable
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: fund with JP Morgan that would potentially pull money from
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: some of the world's wealthiest people. Epstein proposed that J.P.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Morgan set up the fund with a minimum of $ 100
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: million contribution per individual and pay him millions of dollars
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: in fees, the documents show. In addition to the fees,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the disgraced financier, pedophile, saw the fund as a way
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to rehabilitate his reputation, according to people he told of
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: his thinking. It hinged on securing support from Gates, the
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: document show. So basically what they're hinting at here is
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: that Bill Gates is not culpable for his time with
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Epstein because, you know, he just got caught up. And
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Bill Gates is so stupid that he got dog walked
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: by dumbass Jeffrey Epstein, who never even graduated from college.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: That's what you want us to believe. Well, I'm sorry.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I don't believe that. Bill Gates knew exactly who Epstein was,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: knew exactly what Epstein was up to, and he was
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: still hanging out with him anyway. Now, I'm not going
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to sit here and tell you Bill Gates was abusing
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: girls with Jeffrey Epstein, but what I will say is this.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: He certainly enabled Jeffrey Epstein and helped Jeffrey Epstein refurbish
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: his reputation. So to act like Billy Boy Gates is
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: some kind of victim is straight up a joke. There's
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: zero chance that I'd ever fall for that narrative, and
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I highly doubt any of you out there will either.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: This guy knew exactly what he was doing. All of
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: them did. I'm so tired of that excuse. That's even
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: the excuse we got from the CIA director who was
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: paddling around with Epstein as well. Oh, I had no
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: idea who he was. Bro, you're in charge of the CIA.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: You mean to tell me you had no idea you
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: were having meetings with one of the most prolific molesters
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: we've ever seen? Is that what the head of the
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: CIA really wants us to believe? Because if so, it's
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: not a good look. There's no way you can frame... Mr.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Burns hanging out with Epstein in a good manner. It's
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: all a bad look and it should be called out
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: a whole lot more. But of course, remember, they have
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: to make sure that they protect their faves. Epstein's messages,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: which were peppered with typos and spelling errors, tried to
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: give the impression that he was a close Gates advisor.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Gates wasn't included on emails reviewed by the journal. The
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Gates spokeswoman said Epstein never worked for Gates and misrepresented
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: their ties and communications with J.P. Morgan and others. Yo,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: the whitewash is happening in full effect right here. Don't
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: be mad at Bill Gates, folks. He had no idea
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: what was happening. He had no idea who Jeffrey Epstein was.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Just look at his emails. It's obvious that Bill Gates
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: had no clue. Give me a break already. Bill Gates
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: knew exactly what was going on, just like every other
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: scumbag that rolled through those doors. And anybody who gives
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: us that excuse is somebody that needs further examination at
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: this point. I mean, imagine being caught up in something
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: like this and not getting ahead of it and talking
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to the media, talking to the FBI, whoever wanted to
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: talk to you, especially if you did nothing wrong. I'd
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: be the first one standing up saying, hey, what's up?
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Let's talk. Where's the FBI at? Can we have a conversation, please?
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I didn't do shit. I have no idea what this
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: guy was up to. But we never hear that, do we?
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: It's always, oh, I had no idea who Jeffrey Epstein was.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I had no idea what he was up to. But
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the fact is, you did. And not only. were people
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: like bill gates aware of what jeffrey epstein was they
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: went into these business relationships not caring about what he
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: had done in the past and again like usual it's
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: profits over people in essence This fund will allow Bill
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: to have access to higher quality people, investment, allocation, governance,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: without upsetting either his marriage or the sensitivities of the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: current foundation employees, Epstein wrote on August 16, 2011, to
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: two top J.P. Morgan executives, Jess Staley and Mary Erdos.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: His two BFFs over at J.P. Morgan and Not Enough
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Conversation is centered around Mary Erdos either. How many times
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: is she going to be mentioned in these emails as
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: somebody facilitating Jeffrey Epstein's financial malfeasance? I mean, every time
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: you turn around, Mary Erdos is named in one of
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: these emails. You made this happen. The next day, Epstein wrote,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Bill is terribly frustrated. He would like to boost some
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: of the things that we are working on without taking
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: away from those that are not. On October 2nd, he
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: sent another email to Staley and Erdos criticizing a presentation
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: that J.P. Morgan had prepared on the project. The presentation
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: is not tailored to Bill. He is the only person,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the only one, that counts. And there's one certainty about
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein, and that was he liked to go big
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: game hunting and get people like Bill Gates, Bill Clinton,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Prince Andrew, people like that, under his thumb. And once
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: he had them under his thumb, he was able to
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: use that relationship to help refurbish his own reputation after
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: he was arrested for molesting a child. The charitable fund
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: never got off the ground. The firm didn't need him
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: as a client, a J.P. Morgan spokesman said of Epstein.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: The firm didn't need him for introductions. Knowing what we
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: know today, we wish we had never done business with him.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: A spokesman for the bank said Erdos declined to comment.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: A lawyer for Staley didn't respond to a request for comment.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Staley has previously said he regrets his friendship with Epstein. Oh,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he does. And once again, he doesn't regret
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the friendship. He regrets that you know about it. That's
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: all he really regrets is that we know about that friendship.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Not that he actually was palling around with egg dick.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: It's the fact that you and I know about it
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: and it's making his life miserable. The poor guy. Oh,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I can't roll around in my money like Scrooge McDuck anymore. Wah.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: While he was working on the charitable fund, Epstein met
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: in 2013 with Gates and Norwegian officials who were visitors
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: to Epstein's townhouse. Epstein told one former Gates Foundation employee,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: that he knew the Norwegians and could help Gates win
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to eradicate polio.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Can someone please explain to me how Bill Gates became
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: some kind of a aficionado in the world of medicine?
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Isn't this guy like a software developer? All of a sudden,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I should be taking medical advice from Bill Gates? Okay, sure.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: So what am I gonna do next? Dr. Phil's gonna
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: write code for me? I'm gonna have Dr. Phil write
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: me up a video game later on. It's all so ridiculous.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Breaking news, Bill Gates. I don't need you to give
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: me health advice, okay? I don't need any advice from
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: anyone who is palling around with Jeffrey Epstein. And I
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: don't care how many zeros you have in your bank account.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: You're a condemnable, disgusting individual. And the fact that you're
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: trying to whitewash your relationship with Epstein is utterly ridiculous.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: So here's an idea, Billy Boy Gates. Stay in your lane,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: worry about making sure that my Microsoft Windows platform isn't garbage,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: and leave the doctoring to, you know, the doctors. Gates
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: and Epstein met together in March in Strasbourg, France, at
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the home of Thorburn Jagland, then chair of the Nobel
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Peace Prize committee. That September, Epstein scheduled a meeting with Gates, Jagland,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: and others at his townhouse, the documents show, Our documents
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: show Mr. Gates met with Norwegian officials to discuss the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: security situation in Afghanistan as part of Mr. Gates' work
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: on polio eradication. What does that even mean? Is Bill
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Gates in an Afghanistan refugee camp giving people polio vaccines?
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Or is he somebody who's behind the scenes using this
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: charitable organization for whatever the fuck he's using it for?
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: And again, I hate to be cynical, but when we're
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: talking about these billionaires and all the people that were
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: palling around with Epstein, I can't help myself. I have
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: such a bad taste in my mouth when it comes
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: to all of these people at this point, the whole
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: so-called elite class, that I look at all of them
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: as degenerates. Mr. Gates has never been focused on or
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: campaigned for the Nobel Peace Prize or any other prize.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Jaglan didn't respond to requests for comment. He has previously said,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: The prize wasn't a topic for discussion during the Stroudsburg meeting.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Several years of discussions with J.P. Morgan, Gates, and others
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: failed to yield for Epstein or Gates' commitment to it.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: In 2017, Epstein contacted Gates about the Russian bridge player
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: years after the relationship had ended, according to people familiar
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: with the matter. He sent an email to Gates asking
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: to be reimbursed for the costs Of Anitonova's coding school,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the people said. The sum was immaterial for the two men,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: and the tone of the message was that Epstein knew
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: about the affair and could expose it, the people said.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: The spokeswoman for Gates said he didn't make any payment. Mr.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Gates made no financial dealings with Epstein, she said. Days
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: before he died in 2017, Epstein changed his will and
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: named Nikolic as a backup executor. Nikolic said Epstein didn't
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: discuss the idea with him beforehand and that he subsequently
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: declined to serve. He couldn't have listed Bill because that
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: would have been too obvious. So he chose me, he said.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I have come to believe it was likely a retaliatory
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: move against Bill Gates. Oh yeah, of course. That's what
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: this piece reads as. A whitewash of Bill Gates' relationship
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: with Jeffrey Epstein. And I don't buy the explanation that's
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: being given here. Oh, Bill Gates was just a shrinking
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: flower and he was being manipulated by mean old Jeffrey Epstein.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Give me a break, okay? Powerful people like Bill Gates,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: they're very shrewd and they walk into a room and
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: they're used to being the biggest swinging dick in that room.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: So if you think he was cowing down to Jeffrey Epstein,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: you would be mistaken because he was not. Guys that
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: have that kind of dough are in charge of whatever
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: the hell they're doing. And if Bill Gates wanted to
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: go down this route and use it as his defense,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: why didn't he come out and say this in the
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: very beginning? I was being manipulated. I was being blackmailed.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: And that's why I was meeting with Jeffrey Epstein. He
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: never said any of that. All of a sudden, this
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: is the new strategy. All of a sudden, these emails
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: come to light. They surface all of a sudden. And
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: now Bill Gates has an excuse. That he can rely upon.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Or at the very least point to. And say look
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I was being manipulated too. The question is. Is anybody buying.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: What he's selling. Alright folks that's going to do it
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: for this one. All of the information that goes with
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the episode. Can be found in the description box.
