00:00:00.270 --> 00:00:03.310
<v Speaker 1>What's up everyone, and welcome to another episode of the

2
00:00:03.410 --> 00:00:08.750
<v Speaker 1>Epstein Chronicles. Bill Gates was on the Anderson Cooper show

3
00:00:09.210 --> 00:00:13.689
<v Speaker 1>on CNN, and of course, Anderson Cooper asked him about

4
00:00:13.810 --> 00:00:18.429
<v Speaker 1>Jeffrey Epstein and the shitshow surrounding their relationship. And as

5
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:22.420
<v Speaker 1>you can imagine, it went exactly as you would expect,

6
00:00:23.140 --> 00:00:26.780
<v Speaker 1>considering Bill Gates is not exactly happy about people asking

7
00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:29.899
<v Speaker 1>these questions. And of course, my response to that is, well...

8
00:00:30.489 --> 00:00:33.259
<v Speaker 1>Why'd you hang out with Epstein in the first place then, stupid?

9
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:38.200
<v Speaker 1>And then not only that, but lie about it. That's

10
00:00:38.219 --> 00:00:40.100
<v Speaker 1>the big problem for Bill Gates, as far as I

11
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.179
<v Speaker 1>can see it. He lied about that relationship for years.

12
00:00:43.820 --> 00:00:46.570
<v Speaker 1>And then when he was finally outed, when the emails

13
00:00:46.810 --> 00:00:50.270
<v Speaker 1>and the evidence were finally provided, bro's like, oh, my bad. Yeah,

14
00:00:50.310 --> 00:00:52.329
<v Speaker 1>that really happened. I was just, you know, I was

15
00:00:52.350 --> 00:00:54.649
<v Speaker 1>just testing you guys to make sure you knew the story.

16
00:00:56.229 --> 00:00:59.420
<v Speaker 1>That's how absurd it is. And every time Bill Gates

17
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.539
<v Speaker 1>opens his mouth about Jeffrey Epstein, that hole that he's

18
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:05.859
<v Speaker 1>in gets deeper. So today we have an article from

19
00:01:05.900 --> 00:01:09.420
<v Speaker 1>the Daily Beast and the headline, CNN host corners Bill

20
00:01:09.469 --> 00:01:13.450
<v Speaker 1>Gates on Epstein blackmail scandal. This article was authored by

21
00:01:13.590 --> 00:01:18.549
<v Speaker 1>Cameron Adams. Beleaguered billionaire Bill Gates has been grilled over

22
00:01:18.609 --> 00:01:21.549
<v Speaker 1>claims that he was targeted for blackmail by child sex

23
00:01:21.590 --> 00:01:25.069
<v Speaker 1>offender Jeffrey Epstein. I think we let Bill Gates off

24
00:01:25.090 --> 00:01:28.079
<v Speaker 1>the hook if we give him that excuse. Was there

25
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:32.359
<v Speaker 1>some blackmail involved? Probably. Should Bill Gates be able to

26
00:01:32.459 --> 00:01:36.650
<v Speaker 1>figure out what's what? Most definitely. Well, you don't think

27
00:01:36.670 --> 00:01:39.549
<v Speaker 1>he has a security team? He doesn't have the money

28
00:01:39.609 --> 00:01:42.430
<v Speaker 1>to access the best people in the world? People that

29
00:01:42.810 --> 00:01:45.849
<v Speaker 1>definitely told him the kind of person that Epstein was.

30
00:01:46.469 --> 00:01:48.359
<v Speaker 1>And you know that Bill Gates, thinking that he's the

31
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:50.959
<v Speaker 1>smartest man in the room, didn't give one single shit

32
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:54.400
<v Speaker 1>and continued on with that dumbass relationship with Jeffrey Epsteins.

33
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:59.469
<v Speaker 1>So don't cry to us now about your reputation, stupid. Gates, 70,

34
00:01:59.469 --> 00:02:02.569
<v Speaker 1>was mired in controversy after appearing in the Epstein case files.

35
00:02:03.069 --> 00:02:05.989
<v Speaker 1>Among the documents released by the Department of Justice were

36
00:02:06.030 --> 00:02:09.729
<v Speaker 1>photos of Gates posing with the late financier, pedophile, as

37
00:02:09.770 --> 00:02:13.379
<v Speaker 1>well as email correspondence between the two men. And we

38
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:15.979
<v Speaker 1>didn't need the Epstein files to tell us this. We knew.

39
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:19.530
<v Speaker 1>You knew too, Daily Beast. You chose to ignore it.

40
00:02:20.300 --> 00:02:23.819
<v Speaker 1>You chose not to pursue the story as hard as

41
00:02:23.860 --> 00:02:25.909
<v Speaker 1>you should have. Now, there were some people at the

42
00:02:25.949 --> 00:02:31.419
<v Speaker 1>Daily Beast that were good, Kate Bricklett especially. But everything

43
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:35.020
<v Speaker 1>they were doing was basically painted in a partisan tint.

44
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:38.780
<v Speaker 1>And obviously, you can't get to the bottom of this

45
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:45.020
<v Speaker 1>shit if you're only looking under one person's mattress. The

46
00:02:45.060 --> 00:02:47.870
<v Speaker 1>Microsoft co-founder was probed by the House Oversight Committee in

47
00:02:47.909 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 1>June over his links to Epstein. whom he met with

48
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:56.120
<v Speaker 1>around 30 times between 2011 and 2014. Now go back

49
00:02:56.159 --> 00:03:00.099
<v Speaker 1>to the original narrative from Bill Gates, telling us that

50
00:03:00.139 --> 00:03:04.659
<v Speaker 1>he only met Epstein, what, two, three times? Only for

51
00:03:04.699 --> 00:03:08.689
<v Speaker 1>us to find out, it was around 30 times. And

52
00:03:08.710 --> 00:03:11.930
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure that's all you guys talked about, malaria, and

53
00:03:11.949 --> 00:03:16.629
<v Speaker 1>helping other people, and altruistic dealings, when the truth is,

54
00:03:16.729 --> 00:03:19.729
<v Speaker 1>people like Bill Gates want nothing more than to keep

55
00:03:19.750 --> 00:03:22.250
<v Speaker 1>people like us under his thumb. So they can wrap

56
00:03:22.270 --> 00:03:24.629
<v Speaker 1>themselves in as much armor as they want when it

57
00:03:24.669 --> 00:03:27.409
<v Speaker 1>comes to their philanthropy, but that doesn't mean shit to me.

58
00:03:28.310 --> 00:03:30.500
<v Speaker 1>Give away as much money as you want. Get involved

59
00:03:30.530 --> 00:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>in whatever cause you want. None of it makes up

60
00:03:32.699 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>for the shit you've done with your buddy Jeffrey Epstein.

61
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:39.300
<v Speaker 1>None of it. In 2008, Epstein pleaded in Florida to

62
00:03:39.340 --> 00:03:42.539
<v Speaker 1>state charges of soliciting a prostitute and procuring a minor

63
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:47.020
<v Speaker 1>for prostitution. He died in jail in 2019. Well, at

64
00:03:47.060 --> 00:03:50.250
<v Speaker 1>least they say he died in jail. because I don't

65
00:03:50.270 --> 00:03:52.909
<v Speaker 1>know if he committed suicide, and I think that the

66
00:03:52.949 --> 00:03:56.509
<v Speaker 1>majority of people out there feel the same way. Now,

67
00:03:56.550 --> 00:03:58.870
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't mean that he could not have committed suicide.

68
00:03:59.150 --> 00:04:02.770
<v Speaker 1>Very possible. Crazy shit happens in prison and in jail

69
00:04:02.810 --> 00:04:06.289
<v Speaker 1>all the time. But when you look at all the factors,

70
00:04:06.830 --> 00:04:09.090
<v Speaker 1>and everything that led up to it, I have a

71
00:04:09.150 --> 00:04:13.050
<v Speaker 1>real hard time buying the narrative. And I'm not impressed

72
00:04:13.069 --> 00:04:16.889
<v Speaker 1>with the evidence that they've provided. So, until we have

73
00:04:16.910 --> 00:04:19.120
<v Speaker 1>a special counsel... who gets to look at all of

74
00:04:19.170 --> 00:04:23.269
<v Speaker 1>this and has the power to not only subpoena, but

75
00:04:23.290 --> 00:04:26.230
<v Speaker 1>to indict, then I just don't believe what they're telling me.

76
00:04:26.509 --> 00:04:29.170
<v Speaker 1>And for me, that's the standard. That's where the goalposts

77
00:04:29.430 --> 00:04:34.310
<v Speaker 1>have always been. A robust investigation that's not handcuffed by

78
00:04:34.370 --> 00:04:37.470
<v Speaker 1>Jeffrey Epstein's ties and the people that were protecting him.

79
00:04:38.610 --> 00:04:40.790
<v Speaker 1>And until that occurs, me and my big mouth are

80
00:04:40.810 --> 00:04:43.629
<v Speaker 1>going to be here yapping. Gates appeared on Anderson Cooper

81
00:04:43.629 --> 00:04:47.300
<v Speaker 1>360 on Wednesday to share his concerns about the AI industry.

82
00:04:47.939 --> 00:04:52.220
<v Speaker 1>and opening up about the possible risks of technology. However,

83
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:55.579
<v Speaker 1>Cooper ended the interview by asking Gates about his connection

84
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:59.480
<v Speaker 1>to Epstein, noting it was his first television appearance since

85
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:04.300
<v Speaker 1>his behind-closed-doors grilling by the House Oversight Committee. And look,

86
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:09.180
<v Speaker 1>any interview he has, people are going to ask these questions. Now,

87
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.660
<v Speaker 1>he might stipulate before going to the interview that he's

88
00:05:12.699 --> 00:05:16.100
<v Speaker 1>not going to answer questions about it, and any outlet

89
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:20.310
<v Speaker 1>that allows that, is straight trash. Because if you come

90
00:05:20.379 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 1>on my show, you better believe I'm going to ask

91
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:24.949
<v Speaker 1>you whatever I want. And if you don't like it,

92
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:28.439
<v Speaker 1>you can leave. Any host or program that lets the

93
00:05:28.540 --> 00:05:31.480
<v Speaker 1>person that's coming onto the program set the terms is

94
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:38.279
<v Speaker 1>not somebody you should trust. The CNN host asked Gates

95
00:05:38.540 --> 00:05:42.610
<v Speaker 1>about the series of graphic, unverified allegations Epstein reportedly made

96
00:05:42.930 --> 00:05:46.860
<v Speaker 1>in draft emails from 2013 that were never sent. Now

97
00:05:46.899 --> 00:05:49.759
<v Speaker 1>Bill Gates denies all of that. Says that Epstein was

98
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:54.680
<v Speaker 1>just doing Epstein shit and making notes to himself. I

99
00:05:54.699 --> 00:05:56.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I believe that. Now I can't sit

100
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.459
<v Speaker 1>here and tell you with certainty what went down because

101
00:05:59.500 --> 00:06:03.089
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't there. But I have a few opinions and

102
00:06:03.129 --> 00:06:06.750
<v Speaker 1>none of them are favorable to Bill Gates. And listen,

103
00:06:06.769 --> 00:06:08.610
<v Speaker 1>I'm not telling you that Bill Gates was involved in

104
00:06:08.629 --> 00:06:12.449
<v Speaker 1>the abuse. I've never seen that. It's the enabling. It's

105
00:06:12.490 --> 00:06:16.410
<v Speaker 1>the rebuilding of Jeffrey Epstein's image. And if they were

106
00:06:16.449 --> 00:06:21.769
<v Speaker 1>engaged in any financial deals, then financial malfeasance. But I'm

107
00:06:21.790 --> 00:06:23.089
<v Speaker 1>not going to sit here and tell you that Bill

108
00:06:23.110 --> 00:06:26.310
<v Speaker 1>Gates was, you know, up to no good when it

109
00:06:26.350 --> 00:06:28.970
<v Speaker 1>comes to the girls. I will say that about Jeff

110
00:06:28.990 --> 00:06:34.620
<v Speaker 1>Staley because we have documented evidence of it. I'll say

111
00:06:34.629 --> 00:06:37.420
<v Speaker 1>it about Les Wexner because I believe what Virginia told me.

112
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:40.279
<v Speaker 1>And the same goes for Bill Richardson and George Mitchell.

113
00:06:41.300 --> 00:06:44.050
<v Speaker 1>I believe what Virginia said. Now, when it comes to

114
00:06:44.089 --> 00:06:46.269
<v Speaker 1>Bill Gates, we have no evidence of any of that.

115
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.779
<v Speaker 1>What we do have evidence of is him enabling Jeffrey

116
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Epstein and lying about that relationship. And that's what he

117
00:06:53.060 --> 00:06:55.699
<v Speaker 1>should be held accountable for. And if he was engaged

118
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.930
<v Speaker 1>in any financial project, then financial malfeasance, if there was some,

119
00:07:00.850 --> 00:07:05.269
<v Speaker 1>is something he could be, could be, held criminally responsible for. Now,

120
00:07:05.529 --> 00:07:09.009
<v Speaker 1>I don't have the spreadsheets, the financials to back that up.

121
00:07:09.550 --> 00:07:13.350
<v Speaker 1>But what I'm saying is if, if, if, anybody that

122
00:07:13.370 --> 00:07:16.310
<v Speaker 1>was engaged in any kind of financial dealings with Epstein,

123
00:07:16.790 --> 00:07:20.629
<v Speaker 1>there's a chance that they were receiving ill-gotten gains. And

124
00:07:20.670 --> 00:07:23.170
<v Speaker 1>if they were receiving money that was made in the

125
00:07:23.209 --> 00:07:26.569
<v Speaker 1>commission of a crime, then they're part of the conspiracy.

126
00:07:27.649 --> 00:07:31.540
<v Speaker 1>The billionaire previously admitted to having extramarital affairs with two

127
00:07:31.620 --> 00:07:35.139
<v Speaker 1>Russian women, but Epstein's draft emails alleged he had contracted

128
00:07:35.420 --> 00:07:38.660
<v Speaker 1>an STD from the woman, and wanted antibiotics to give

129
00:07:38.699 --> 00:07:42.540
<v Speaker 1>to his then-wife, Melinda Gates. Gates previously said the sordid

130
00:07:42.579 --> 00:07:45.879
<v Speaker 1>allegations in the unsent emails were false. And look, they

131
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:47.860
<v Speaker 1>might have been. I'm not going to tell you that

132
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:52.660
<v Speaker 1>that's true. We know Epstein was a notorious liar. But

133
00:07:52.699 --> 00:07:54.939
<v Speaker 1>why would Bill Gates put himself in that position in

134
00:07:54.980 --> 00:07:58.290
<v Speaker 1>the first place? That's the question everybody should ask. The

135
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.829
<v Speaker 1>so-called smartest man in the room, huh? Okay, I guess.

136
00:08:02.329 --> 00:08:05.110
<v Speaker 1>Talk about the fucking blue screen of death. It sounded

137
00:08:05.149 --> 00:08:07.550
<v Speaker 1>like he was trying to blackmail you, Cooper asked, of

138
00:08:07.569 --> 00:08:10.350
<v Speaker 1>the contents of the draft emails, adding, were you aware

139
00:08:10.610 --> 00:08:13.439
<v Speaker 1>he was trying to do that? No, Gates said firmly,

140
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:17.459
<v Speaker 1>pointing out how complicated the several hundred pages of testimony was.

141
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, super complicated, Billy boy. Super complicated. Your bitch

142
00:08:23.259 --> 00:08:26.519
<v Speaker 1>ass was either dog locked or you were complicit, one

143
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:29.379
<v Speaker 1>or the other, and neither looks good for you. And

144
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:31.959
<v Speaker 1>if I was an investor, I wouldn't be giving you

145
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:37.200
<v Speaker 1>one single cent, not one. I didn't know that he

146
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:40.620
<v Speaker 1>was considering blackmailing me. He never did blackmail me. But

147
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:42.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, it just shows how foolish I was to

148
00:08:42.980 --> 00:08:46.639
<v Speaker 1>spend time with him, Gates said. Just a mistake. Just

149
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.399
<v Speaker 1>a mistake, guys. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. Everything's

150
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.559
<v Speaker 1>all good. Has this guy been experimenting on himself with

151
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:56.039
<v Speaker 1>some of these vaccines or something? I mean, he has

152
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:57.870
<v Speaker 1>to be brain dead to think that anybody is going

153
00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:02.399
<v Speaker 1>to believe the bullshit he's pumping. He also told Cooper

154
00:09:02.450 --> 00:09:05.309
<v Speaker 1>that he really appreciated the opportunity to answer the House

155
00:09:05.370 --> 00:09:09.570
<v Speaker 1>Oversight Committee's questions about Epstein. Oh yeah, yeah, you should

156
00:09:09.590 --> 00:09:11.690
<v Speaker 1>have answered those questions a long time ago. Then you

157
00:09:11.730 --> 00:09:14.110
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have had to be in front of Congress and

158
00:09:14.149 --> 00:09:17.399
<v Speaker 1>we could have alleviated all this nonsense. But no, instead

159
00:09:17.419 --> 00:09:20.360
<v Speaker 1>he had to lie about that relationship and tell a

160
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.299
<v Speaker 1>bunch of tall tales for literally half a decade or more.

161
00:09:26.100 --> 00:09:28.990
<v Speaker 1>I went through every single meeting, every single email. I

162
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:31.629
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a social relationship. I didn't meet any women

163
00:09:31.649 --> 00:09:35.070
<v Speaker 1>through him, Gates said, noting all the content from the

164
00:09:35.090 --> 00:09:38.470
<v Speaker 1>committee is public if people were curious. Oh, don't worry.

165
00:09:38.690 --> 00:09:41.230
<v Speaker 1>We read it already. And you didn't come out looking good,

166
00:09:41.269 --> 00:09:44.070
<v Speaker 1>Billy boy. Now, I know other people might not have

167
00:09:44.110 --> 00:09:47.330
<v Speaker 1>read the whole transcript. A little too much work for

168
00:09:47.370 --> 00:09:50.330
<v Speaker 1>some people. But around these parts, we read it all.

169
00:09:51.570 --> 00:09:54.029
<v Speaker 1>And we also read your responses. So if you have

170
00:09:54.070 --> 00:09:56.149
<v Speaker 1>something you want to say on the record, we'll put

171
00:09:56.169 --> 00:10:00.620
<v Speaker 1>it into the catalog. But the truth is, reading that

172
00:10:00.649 --> 00:10:03.980
<v Speaker 1>testimony doesn't do Bill Gates any favors, at least in

173
00:10:04.019 --> 00:10:10.039
<v Speaker 1>my opinion. He added, of spending time with Epstein, I

174
00:10:10.059 --> 00:10:13.419
<v Speaker 1>had misguided view that he could facilitate my raising philanthropic

175
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:17.299
<v Speaker 1>funds for global health. It was a gigantic mistake, which

176
00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:19.700
<v Speaker 1>I talked about in my testimony. And I've really learned

177
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:22.440
<v Speaker 1>from that. You know, I'm very apologetic that I gave

178
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:25.840
<v Speaker 1>him any credibility at all. Has Bill Gates called any

179
00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:28.460
<v Speaker 1>of the survivors and offered to set up a fund

180
00:10:28.500 --> 00:10:31.740
<v Speaker 1>for them? Hey, look, I'm so sorry about what happened

181
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:34.679
<v Speaker 1>to you. And I'm sorry about the part I played. Now,

182
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:36.919
<v Speaker 1>I know I didn't abuse any of you and I didn't,

183
00:10:36.940 --> 00:10:39.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, hurt you in that way. But I'm sorry

184
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.580
<v Speaker 1>that I enabled Jeffrey Epstein. And I want to make

185
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:43.679
<v Speaker 1>it right. Is there anything I can do for any

186
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:45.919
<v Speaker 1>of you? I mean, if you're really sorry and you

187
00:10:45.950 --> 00:10:48.529
<v Speaker 1>want to help out, that's what I would do. I

188
00:10:48.529 --> 00:10:50.629
<v Speaker 1>would reach out to their lawyers and I'd say, look,

189
00:10:50.750 --> 00:10:53.289
<v Speaker 1>I know that these women are going through it. And

190
00:10:53.350 --> 00:10:57.029
<v Speaker 1>if any of them need any help whatsoever financially, reach

191
00:10:57.090 --> 00:11:00.049
<v Speaker 1>out to me. I'm putting together a fund. Call it

192
00:11:00.070 --> 00:11:03.129
<v Speaker 1>the Bill Gates Cares Fund, whatever it might be. But

193
00:11:03.149 --> 00:11:05.549
<v Speaker 1>they haven't done shit. All they do is lie and

194
00:11:05.570 --> 00:11:08.190
<v Speaker 1>conceal and obfuscate. So if you want to care about

195
00:11:08.269 --> 00:11:11.409
<v Speaker 1>Bill Gates's reputation, go right the fuck ahead. But I don't.

196
00:11:11.830 --> 00:11:13.990
<v Speaker 1>Gates said he was clear with the committee about what

197
00:11:14.049 --> 00:11:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I did do and being very clear what I did not.

198
00:11:17.860 --> 00:11:20.279
<v Speaker 1>In his prepared opening statement for the committee in June,

199
00:11:20.620 --> 00:11:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Gates admitted Epstein had become aware of sensitive information about

200
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:27.379
<v Speaker 1>my personal life, including the fact that I had been

201
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:31.659
<v Speaker 1>unfaithful in my marriage. These affairs had nothing to do

202
00:11:31.700 --> 00:11:34.500
<v Speaker 1>with my interaction with Epstein, but they were painful for

203
00:11:34.539 --> 00:11:37.720
<v Speaker 1>my family. As the public can now see, based on

204
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:40.899
<v Speaker 1>what has been released in the files, Epstein was working

205
00:11:40.940 --> 00:11:44.340
<v Speaker 1>to use information about my infidelities in addition to many

206
00:11:44.379 --> 00:11:47.269
<v Speaker 1>lies that he layered on top. to pressure me to

207
00:11:47.309 --> 00:11:50.929
<v Speaker 1>re-engage with him, he said in a statement. So is

208
00:11:50.950 --> 00:11:53.190
<v Speaker 1>that blackmail or is it not? It most certainly is.

209
00:11:54.129 --> 00:11:56.049
<v Speaker 1>So can we stop with the bullshit that Epstein wasn't

210
00:11:56.090 --> 00:12:01.480
<v Speaker 1>blackmailing people? He was unsuccessful in this effort, but it

211
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:03.639
<v Speaker 1>shows some of the ways he tried to leverage his

212
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:08.240
<v Speaker 1>interaction with me to further his agenda, Gates continued. Gates

213
00:12:08.259 --> 00:12:10.820
<v Speaker 1>said that he never witnessed or had any indication that

214
00:12:10.899 --> 00:12:14.759
<v Speaker 1>Epstein was engaging in ongoing criminal conduct. The tech mogul

215
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:18.090
<v Speaker 1>also said, He never went to the pedophile's island, ranch,

216
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.149
<v Speaker 1>or Florida home, and had never witnessed any abuse. Now look,

217
00:12:22.950 --> 00:12:25.389
<v Speaker 1>I believe that. If you want the truth, I believe

218
00:12:25.409 --> 00:12:29.370
<v Speaker 1>that Bill Gates didn't see any abuse, okay? Just like

219
00:12:29.389 --> 00:12:32.429
<v Speaker 1>I believe that Bill Clinton didn't see any abuse. Does

220
00:12:32.450 --> 00:12:35.980
<v Speaker 1>that mean they didn't see anything? That's debatable. But I

221
00:12:36.019 --> 00:12:38.980
<v Speaker 1>don't think they walked in on Epstein having relations with

222
00:12:39.019 --> 00:12:41.299
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of young girls. I certainly don't believe that.

223
00:12:42.379 --> 00:12:45.590
<v Speaker 1>What I do believe, though, is that they knew. Maybe

224
00:12:45.620 --> 00:12:50.570
<v Speaker 1>not from first-hand knowledge, but they heard. People talk. And

225
00:12:50.590 --> 00:12:56.509
<v Speaker 1>when you're that close to somebody, they talk. He told

226
00:12:56.549 --> 00:12:59.840
<v Speaker 1>an Australian TV network in February his dealings with Epstein

227
00:12:59.860 --> 00:13:02.779
<v Speaker 1>were always based on using him to access his contacts.

228
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:05.759
<v Speaker 1>The focus was always, he knew, a lot of very

229
00:13:05.820 --> 00:13:08.200
<v Speaker 1>rich people. And he was saying he could get them

230
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:12.289
<v Speaker 1>to give me money to global health, Epstein said. Bill Gates,

231
00:13:12.309 --> 00:13:14.490
<v Speaker 1>you don't know a bunch of rich people? Epstein knows

232
00:13:14.549 --> 00:13:17.570
<v Speaker 1>more rich people than Bill fucking Gates? Sure, and I'm

233
00:13:17.590 --> 00:13:20.250
<v Speaker 1>the Sultan of Brunei. Everybody should come over for a

234
00:13:20.289 --> 00:13:23.539
<v Speaker 1>pool party. Oh wait, that's only when Bill Clinton's in town.

235
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.519
<v Speaker 1>He also addressed the unsent emails at the time, saying

236
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.679
<v Speaker 1>apparently Jeffrey wrote an email to himself. Ah, that email

237
00:13:31.700 --> 00:13:34.740
<v Speaker 1>was never sent. The email is, you know, false. Was

238
00:13:34.779 --> 00:13:37.179
<v Speaker 1>he trying to attack me in some way? It just

239
00:13:37.220 --> 00:13:39.740
<v Speaker 1>reminds me every minute I spent with him I regret.

240
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:43.429
<v Speaker 1>And I, you know, apologize that I did that. well,

241
00:13:43.470 --> 00:13:46.590
<v Speaker 1>the apology isn't enough. How many people were hurt? How

242
00:13:46.610 --> 00:13:49.029
<v Speaker 1>many people were abused? Because you enabled this son of

243
00:13:49.070 --> 00:13:54.840
<v Speaker 1>a bitch. His ex-wife, Melinda French Gates, 61, spoke to

244
00:13:54.940 --> 00:13:58.139
<v Speaker 1>NPR host Rachel Martin in February, where she spoke of

245
00:13:58.179 --> 00:14:03.379
<v Speaker 1>her unbelievable sadness at her husband's links, Dabstein. French Gates

246
00:14:03.419 --> 00:14:07.309
<v Speaker 1>and Gates divorced in 2021 after 27 years of marriage,

247
00:14:07.909 --> 00:14:10.649
<v Speaker 1>and she spoke about painful times in the relationship, adding,

248
00:14:11.230 --> 00:14:13.409
<v Speaker 1>I left my marriage. I had to leave my marriage.

249
00:14:13.950 --> 00:14:16.210
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to leave my marriage. And a lot of

250
00:14:16.250 --> 00:14:18.509
<v Speaker 1>it had to do with Epstein. So think about that.

251
00:14:18.990 --> 00:14:22.429
<v Speaker 1>Bill Gates is married for 27 years. Not the first

252
00:14:22.470 --> 00:14:25.370
<v Speaker 1>time he went and dipped his dipstick in somebody else's

253
00:14:25.409 --> 00:14:29.539
<v Speaker 1>fun dip either. She didn't divorce him then. Later on

254
00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:32.960
<v Speaker 1>down the road, however, when Epstein enters the picture, whole

255
00:14:32.980 --> 00:14:36.220
<v Speaker 1>different story, right? So Bill Gates can go on with

256
00:14:36.259 --> 00:14:40.100
<v Speaker 1>his mea culpa and continue to apologize, but words are wind.

257
00:14:40.700 --> 00:14:43.200
<v Speaker 1>and it's time for some action. And until Bill Gates

258
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:45.950
<v Speaker 1>does something to help better the lives of the people

259
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.850
<v Speaker 1>that were hurt by Epstein, then I don't really give

260
00:14:48.889 --> 00:14:51.509
<v Speaker 1>a fuck what he has to say. And he can

261
00:14:51.549 --> 00:14:54.549
<v Speaker 1>go live with Prince Andrew and play with the corgis.

262
00:14:55.889 --> 00:14:58.350
<v Speaker 1>All the information that goes with this episode can be

263
00:14:58.389 --> 00:15:00.029
<v Speaker 1>found in the description box.
