• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: We're gonna keep with our running theme of two thousand
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: and eleven this morning, and we're going to talk about
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: how Glaine Maxwell was invited to a Silicon Valley party
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: in twenty and eleven even though everybody knew what she
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: was up to. And that's confirmed by Ellen Powell, who
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: was the one time CEO of Reddit and who also
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: worked for the adventure capital firm Kleiner Perkins now Kleiner
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Perkins is a very very popular venture capital firm that
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: works with Silicon Valley to invest in projects. And at
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: this party there was a whole host of characters and
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: people who you would consider a who's who of not
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: only politics but business, and everybody knew what Jeffrey Epstein want. Okay,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: we saw the letter from Acosta in twenty and eleven
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: that we talked about already, we know what Epstein was
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: up to. They knew what Epstein was up to, they
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: knew what Maxwell was accused of. Yet she was accepted
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: into the so called elite circle with open arms. And
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: let's remember she was also invited to a getaway with
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos as well in fact, we're gonna go back
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: later on today and we're gonna talk about that article
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: as well, because as we're traversing the history here and
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: hitting the time machine to add more context, there's going
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: to be a few articles that we've covered already that
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: we're going to cover again with a fresh perspective. So
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: let's get into this article from Insider and let's see
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: what's up. This article was originally published on July sixth
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty and the author is Aaron Holmes Headline.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Former Silicon Valley says Glen Maxwell attended an investor party
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: in two thousand and eleven despite reports about her supplying
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: underage girls for sex. You know why, right, And I'll
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: just be very blunt. The only sin for these people
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: is being broke. You can molest girls, you can be
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: involved in trafficking operations, you can hang out with arms dealers,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: as long as you're not broke. Former Reddit CEO Ellen
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Powell says Glainne Maxwell was rubbing elbows with Silicon Valley's
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: elite in two thousand and eleven, and Pow believes people
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: suspected Maxwell's ties to child trafficking at the time and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: didn't care well, look, we don't have to suspect that
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: they didn't care. If they cared, they would have done
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: something about it. If they cared, they wouldn't be inviting
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Glainne Maxwell to these events. But when you really get
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: down to it, the so called elite in our our
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: society really don't care about anybody but themselves. Oh they
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: wax poetic, they'll fire off some platitudes and tell you
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: how much they care, but their behavior and their actions
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: tell a whole different story. Maxwell was arrested last week
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and his waiting trial for four criminal charges relating to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: procuring and transporting miners for illegal sex acts. Prosecutors say
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Maxwell participated in a sex trafficking operation alongside her partner
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. Oh yeah, well we know that. In hindsight,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: it wasn't just prosecutors saying this rather obvious that everybody
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: was hip to what's going on. How many more articles
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: do we have to read before people get the hint?
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Here everybody who was anybody meaning part of this world,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: they all knew the scuttle, but they all knew what
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: people were talking about. And then, for me, the clincher
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: is if you go into Jeffrey Epstein's house and you
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: see all of that weird ass decorps and you don't
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: say something about it or you don't get creeped out
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: by it? What does that say about you? Pow, a
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: former partner at venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins, said Maxwell
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: was at the firm's holiday party in twenty eleven, more
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: than two years after Epstein was first convicted of soliciting
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: sex from a fourteen year old. Maxwell was Epstein's longtime girlfriend,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: an associate, co conspirator, general all around scusbag, fellow child abuser,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and bipedal serpent at one time, but did not face
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: any criminal charges prior to the twenty twenty arrest. Look,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: just because you don't face criminal charges doesn't mean you
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: should be accepted in so called polite society. Has anyone
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: invited oj Simpson to any of these events lately? Oh no,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: they haven't, Huh. I wonder why Maxwell was at the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Kleiner Halloween party, excuse me, holiday party in twenty and eleven.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: But I had no desire to meet with her, much
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: less have a photo taken with her. Pow rode in
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a tweet screenshotted and reposted by reporter Lachlan Marquay. We
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: knew about her supplying underage girls for sex, but I
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: guess that was fine with the cool people who managed
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the tightly controlled guest list. First of all, what is
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: this we stuff? So you knew and you still went,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: what does that even mean? I don't care who invites
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: me to a party if I know that there's going
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: to be you know, child abusers there and known child abusers. Look,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: we're not talking about two thousand and two here where
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: you can say, oh, we had no idea who Jeffrey
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Epstein was. Now, I don't buy that, but at least
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you have a leg to stand on, right, You can
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: at least try and have the shield of ignorant. Yes,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: But in twenty and eleven, that whole entire defense goes
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: right out the window. Right, everybody knew what he was
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: by that point. Pal set her Twitter account to private
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Monday morning after sending the tweet. When reached for comment
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: by Business Insider, Pal shared two additional tweets that she
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: subsequently posted clarifying her remarks. In one tweet, Pal link
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: to a Daily Mail report published in March two thousand
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and eleven, in which Epstein's survivor accused Maxwell of participating
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: in the abuse. This is called backtracking. This is called
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: not wanting to get called out on the carpet and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: not wanting to have to expose the rest of your friends.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Oh well, I'm just talking about this article that I read. Yeah, right,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: everybody knew what she was up to, Miss pal To
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: be clear, the press had described her as supplying underage
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: girls for sex, but she had not been charged, So
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I guess it would be more accurate to say we
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: suspected verse he knew, Powell wrote, I mean, I guess,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: but the genies out of the bottle at this point,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: we all know what you meant. We all know that
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: you and your friends knew exactly who Glenn Maxwell was,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and she was still accepted with open arms. How many
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: of you gave her a kiss under the missiletoe while
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: sipping on some eggnog. When another Twitter user pressed Powell
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: about why she didn't speak about Maxwell, Powell responded that
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: what I said made no difference here. Kleiner Perkins is
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: a storied Silicon Valley VC firm that provided early funding
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to companies including Amazon, Square, Snap, Google, and Twitter. Powell
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: a former partner at the firm left in twenty twelve.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: She later filed a lawsuit alleging that she was fired
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: for complaining about gender discrimination, but lost that case. Now,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: obviously miss Powell had a couple of issues with Kleiner
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and Perkins, but I think her issues with Kleiner and
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Perkins are irrelevant in the overall story here, Right, the
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: fact is Glenn Maxwell was there, So her having an
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Axter grind with Kleiner and Perkins, well, that might be
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: an issue if she was just making something up with
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: no evidence, right, But we all know who Glenn Maxwell
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: was and we all know what she was up to.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: And if you think these hotshots over at Kleiner Perkins
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: had no idea, well, I don't know what to say.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: According to a twenty eleven Business Insider report, the Kleiner
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Perkins holiday party that year trewe esteemed guests including former
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Vice president Al Gore, Apple VP Engineering, Apple VP of
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Engineering Mike Gabbett, and former HP chairman Ray Lane. Perkins
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: spokesperson declined to comment. Oh, I'm sure they did. Why
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: are they having Gleann Maxwell at any of their events?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: It's so gross and it's weird, like if somebody even
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: has this cloud hanging over their head, and they haven't
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: addressed it. They've just hoped everyone would forget about it.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: That's not somebody that you should welcome to one of
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: your parties. You have to explain yourself, air out your
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: whole entire circumstance, and let people understand what happened, not
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: hide from it, not attack survivors every time they come
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: out like Maxwell and Epstein did. But yet people over
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: here at Kleiner Perkins, the Silicon Valley types, they were
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: more than willing to have Glenn Maxwell come over, get
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: herself a little egnog, sit on Santa's lap, whatever it was.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: A Kleiner Perkins spokesperson declined to comment. Oh, I am sure.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Epstein and Maxwell have had multiple brushes with Silicon Valley's elite,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: many of whom since declined knowing the full extent of
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: their alleged crimes. Epstein was known to pursue business relationships
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: with tech leaders, business owners, and academics elite universities. In
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: March twenty and eleven, he sat down to dinner with
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a slate of tech billionaires, including Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Google co founder Sir j Brinn, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and Tesla Ceo. Elon Musk now Elon Musk says that
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: he never met these people. He doesn't know them, but
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: that conflicts with what we know now. I'm not saying
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk was somebody who was partying with them all
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the time or anything like that, but there's no doubt
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: that they were rubbing shoulders at these events. Musk was
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: photographed with Maxwell at an Oscars after party in twenty
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: and fourteen. Musk claims that he did not know Maxwell
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and that she photo bombed him at the time. Epstein,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: who died by suicide in jail allegedly in August of
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, said in twenty and eighteen he had given
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: advice to Musk. A spokesperson for Musk denied the claim. Look,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know one way or the other what their
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: relationship was. We know Jeffrey Epstein had a propensity for
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: speaking a bunch of bullshit, and he liked to act
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: like he knew people that he didn't. But he also
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: did have a bunch of friends that he did know,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: people that he was giving advice to. So either way,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: it's not a good look going to dinner with Jeffrey
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Epstein in twenty and eleven. No matter how you chop it.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Epstein also knew Bill Gates meeting with the Microsoft founder
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: multiple times following Epstein's first conviction for sex crimes in
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. Gates later said he met with
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Epstein to try and secure funding from Epstein for his charities,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: calling it a mistake in judgment. Now, if you're the
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: richest guy in the world, or one of the richest
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: guys in the world, do you really think it makes
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: sense to try and get funding from a child molester
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: who's buying that shit. I mean, people will because they
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: don't want to really see the scope of what's going
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: on here. But for those of us who understand, for
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: those of us who have looked behind the curtain, we
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: understand how gross things are and just how much we
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: have been lied to by the so called delete All right, folks,
