1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:05.040
<v Speaker 1>What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.

2
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:08.919
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna keep with our running theme of two thousand

3
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.960
<v Speaker 1>and eleven this morning, and we're going to talk about

4
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:17.600
<v Speaker 1>how Glaine Maxwell was invited to a Silicon Valley party

5
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:22.440
<v Speaker 1>in twenty and eleven even though everybody knew what she

6
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>was up to. And that's confirmed by Ellen Powell, who

7
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>was the one time CEO of Reddit and who also

8
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:36.799
<v Speaker 1>worked for the adventure capital firm Kleiner Perkins now Kleiner

9
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:42.439
<v Speaker 1>Perkins is a very very popular venture capital firm that

10
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:47.119
<v Speaker 1>works with Silicon Valley to invest in projects. And at

11
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.759
<v Speaker 1>this party there was a whole host of characters and

12
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:53.719
<v Speaker 1>people who you would consider a who's who of not

13
00:00:53.759 --> 00:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>only politics but business, and everybody knew what Jeffrey Epstein want. Okay,

14
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:04.359
<v Speaker 1>we saw the letter from Acosta in twenty and eleven

15
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>that we talked about already, we know what Epstein was

16
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:10.959
<v Speaker 1>up to. They knew what Epstein was up to, they

17
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:16.200
<v Speaker 1>knew what Maxwell was accused of. Yet she was accepted

18
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 1>into the so called elite circle with open arms. And

19
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:25.239
<v Speaker 1>let's remember she was also invited to a getaway with

20
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Bezos as well in fact, we're gonna go back

21
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:31.599
<v Speaker 1>later on today and we're gonna talk about that article

22
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:35.879
<v Speaker 1>as well, because as we're traversing the history here and

23
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.959
<v Speaker 1>hitting the time machine to add more context, there's going

24
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.599
<v Speaker 1>to be a few articles that we've covered already that

25
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:46.359
<v Speaker 1>we're going to cover again with a fresh perspective. So

26
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.319
<v Speaker 1>let's get into this article from Insider and let's see

27
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.640
<v Speaker 1>what's up. This article was originally published on July sixth

28
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:58.239
<v Speaker 1>of twenty twenty and the author is Aaron Holmes Headline.

29
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Former Silicon Valley says Glen Maxwell attended an investor party

30
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:07.280
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand and eleven despite reports about her supplying

31
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>underage girls for sex. You know why, right, And I'll

32
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:16.400
<v Speaker 1>just be very blunt. The only sin for these people

33
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.719
<v Speaker 1>is being broke. You can molest girls, you can be

34
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:24.039
<v Speaker 1>involved in trafficking operations, you can hang out with arms dealers,

35
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>as long as you're not broke. Former Reddit CEO Ellen

36
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Powell says Glainne Maxwell was rubbing elbows with Silicon Valley's

37
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>elite in two thousand and eleven, and Pow believes people

38
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 1>suspected Maxwell's ties to child trafficking at the time and

39
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 1>didn't care well, look, we don't have to suspect that

40
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>they didn't care. If they cared, they would have done

41
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 1>something about it. If they cared, they wouldn't be inviting

42
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Glainne Maxwell to these events. But when you really get

43
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.159
<v Speaker 1>down to it, the so called elite in our our

44
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:03.919
<v Speaker 1>society really don't care about anybody but themselves. Oh they

45
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.560
<v Speaker 1>wax poetic, they'll fire off some platitudes and tell you

46
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:11.360
<v Speaker 1>how much they care, but their behavior and their actions

47
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:18.039
<v Speaker 1>tell a whole different story. Maxwell was arrested last week

48
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:21.919
<v Speaker 1>and his waiting trial for four criminal charges relating to

49
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:27.360
<v Speaker 1>procuring and transporting miners for illegal sex acts. Prosecutors say

50
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Maxwell participated in a sex trafficking operation alongside her partner

51
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Jeffrey Epstein. Oh yeah, well we know that. In hindsight,

52
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:42.479
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't just prosecutors saying this rather obvious that everybody

53
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.240
<v Speaker 1>was hip to what's going on. How many more articles

54
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>do we have to read before people get the hint?

55
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Here everybody who was anybody meaning part of this world,

56
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:57.039
<v Speaker 1>they all knew the scuttle, but they all knew what

57
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 1>people were talking about. And then, for me, the clincher

58
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:03.960
<v Speaker 1>is if you go into Jeffrey Epstein's house and you

59
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.759
<v Speaker 1>see all of that weird ass decorps and you don't

60
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>say something about it or you don't get creeped out

61
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:16.079
<v Speaker 1>by it? What does that say about you? Pow, a

62
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:20.360
<v Speaker 1>former partner at venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins, said Maxwell

63
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>was at the firm's holiday party in twenty eleven, more

64
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:27.319
<v Speaker 1>than two years after Epstein was first convicted of soliciting

65
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:32.040
<v Speaker 1>sex from a fourteen year old. Maxwell was Epstein's longtime girlfriend,

66
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.879
<v Speaker 1>an associate, co conspirator, general all around scusbag, fellow child abuser,

67
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:41.720
<v Speaker 1>and bipedal serpent at one time, but did not face

68
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:45.759
<v Speaker 1>any criminal charges prior to the twenty twenty arrest. Look,

69
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 1>just because you don't face criminal charges doesn't mean you

70
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 1>should be accepted in so called polite society. Has anyone

71
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:59.279
<v Speaker 1>invited oj Simpson to any of these events lately? Oh no,

72
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:04.560
<v Speaker 1>they haven't, Huh. I wonder why Maxwell was at the

73
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.199
<v Speaker 1>Kleiner Halloween party, excuse me, holiday party in twenty and eleven.

74
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:10.879
<v Speaker 1>But I had no desire to meet with her, much

75
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:13.519
<v Speaker 1>less have a photo taken with her. Pow rode in

76
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:18.959
<v Speaker 1>a tweet screenshotted and reposted by reporter Lachlan Marquay. We

77
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>knew about her supplying underage girls for sex, but I

78
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:24.920
<v Speaker 1>guess that was fine with the cool people who managed

79
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:28.639
<v Speaker 1>the tightly controlled guest list. First of all, what is

80
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.639
<v Speaker 1>this we stuff? So you knew and you still went,

81
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>what does that even mean? I don't care who invites

82
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:38.079
<v Speaker 1>me to a party if I know that there's going

83
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:42.959
<v Speaker 1>to be you know, child abusers there and known child abusers. Look,

84
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.360
<v Speaker 1>we're not talking about two thousand and two here where

85
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>you can say, oh, we had no idea who Jeffrey

86
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:52.439
<v Speaker 1>Epstein was. Now, I don't buy that, but at least

87
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:54.560
<v Speaker 1>you have a leg to stand on, right, You can

88
00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:00.279
<v Speaker 1>at least try and have the shield of ignorant. Yes,

89
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:05.399
<v Speaker 1>But in twenty and eleven, that whole entire defense goes

90
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:07.560
<v Speaker 1>right out the window. Right, everybody knew what he was

91
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:12.600
<v Speaker 1>by that point. Pal set her Twitter account to private

92
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:16.519
<v Speaker 1>Monday morning after sending the tweet. When reached for comment

93
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.720
<v Speaker 1>by Business Insider, Pal shared two additional tweets that she

94
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:24.360
<v Speaker 1>subsequently posted clarifying her remarks. In one tweet, Pal link

95
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:27.040
<v Speaker 1>to a Daily Mail report published in March two thousand

96
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:32.000
<v Speaker 1>and eleven, in which Epstein's survivor accused Maxwell of participating

97
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.920
<v Speaker 1>in the abuse. This is called backtracking. This is called

98
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:38.680
<v Speaker 1>not wanting to get called out on the carpet and

99
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:41.319
<v Speaker 1>not wanting to have to expose the rest of your friends.

100
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:45.399
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, I'm just talking about this article that I read. Yeah, right,

101
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:50.279
<v Speaker 1>everybody knew what she was up to, Miss pal To

102
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 1>be clear, the press had described her as supplying underage

103
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:56.480
<v Speaker 1>girls for sex, but she had not been charged, So

104
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I guess it would be more accurate to say we

105
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.920
<v Speaker 1>suspected verse he knew, Powell wrote, I mean, I guess,

106
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.519
<v Speaker 1>but the genies out of the bottle at this point,

107
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:08.759
<v Speaker 1>we all know what you meant. We all know that

108
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.600
<v Speaker 1>you and your friends knew exactly who Glenn Maxwell was,

109
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:16.399
<v Speaker 1>and she was still accepted with open arms. How many

110
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:19.360
<v Speaker 1>of you gave her a kiss under the missiletoe while

111
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:25.839
<v Speaker 1>sipping on some eggnog. When another Twitter user pressed Powell

112
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:29.560
<v Speaker 1>about why she didn't speak about Maxwell, Powell responded that

113
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:34.199
<v Speaker 1>what I said made no difference here. Kleiner Perkins is

114
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:38.680
<v Speaker 1>a storied Silicon Valley VC firm that provided early funding

115
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:44.839
<v Speaker 1>to companies including Amazon, Square, Snap, Google, and Twitter. Powell

116
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.000
<v Speaker 1>a former partner at the firm left in twenty twelve.

117
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:51.480
<v Speaker 1>She later filed a lawsuit alleging that she was fired

118
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>for complaining about gender discrimination, but lost that case. Now,

119
00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>obviously miss Powell had a couple of issues with Kleiner

120
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.879
<v Speaker 1>and Perkins, but I think her issues with Kleiner and

121
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Perkins are irrelevant in the overall story here, Right, the

122
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:12.759
<v Speaker 1>fact is Glenn Maxwell was there, So her having an

123
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Axter grind with Kleiner and Perkins, well, that might be

124
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:19.560
<v Speaker 1>an issue if she was just making something up with

125
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:22.519
<v Speaker 1>no evidence, right, But we all know who Glenn Maxwell

126
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.319
<v Speaker 1>was and we all know what she was up to.

127
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.279
<v Speaker 1>And if you think these hotshots over at Kleiner Perkins

128
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:29.639
<v Speaker 1>had no idea, well, I don't know what to say.

129
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.519
<v Speaker 1>According to a twenty eleven Business Insider report, the Kleiner

130
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Perkins holiday party that year trewe esteemed guests including former

131
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Vice president Al Gore, Apple VP Engineering, Apple VP of

132
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Engineering Mike Gabbett, and former HP chairman Ray Lane. Perkins

133
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:53.519
<v Speaker 1>spokesperson declined to comment. Oh, I'm sure they did. Why

134
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:56.000
<v Speaker 1>are they having Gleann Maxwell at any of their events?

135
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:59.759
<v Speaker 1>It's so gross and it's weird, like if somebody even

136
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:02.879
<v Speaker 1>has this cloud hanging over their head, and they haven't

137
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:07.240
<v Speaker 1>addressed it. They've just hoped everyone would forget about it.

138
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:10.200
<v Speaker 1>That's not somebody that you should welcome to one of

139
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:14.440
<v Speaker 1>your parties. You have to explain yourself, air out your

140
00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:18.519
<v Speaker 1>whole entire circumstance, and let people understand what happened, not

141
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:21.639
<v Speaker 1>hide from it, not attack survivors every time they come

142
00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 1>out like Maxwell and Epstein did. But yet people over

143
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:30.919
<v Speaker 1>here at Kleiner Perkins, the Silicon Valley types, they were

144
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:34.240
<v Speaker 1>more than willing to have Glenn Maxwell come over, get

145
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:38.240
<v Speaker 1>herself a little egnog, sit on Santa's lap, whatever it was.

146
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:44.639
<v Speaker 1>A Kleiner Perkins spokesperson declined to comment. Oh, I am sure.

147
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:49.879
<v Speaker 1>Epstein and Maxwell have had multiple brushes with Silicon Valley's elite,

148
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:52.559
<v Speaker 1>many of whom since declined knowing the full extent of

149
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.799
<v Speaker 1>their alleged crimes. Epstein was known to pursue business relationships

150
00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:01.799
<v Speaker 1>with tech leaders, business owners, and academics elite universities. In

151
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.279
<v Speaker 1>March twenty and eleven, he sat down to dinner with

152
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:11.080
<v Speaker 1>a slate of tech billionaires, including Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos,

153
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:15.879
<v Speaker 1>Google co founder Sir j Brinn, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer

154
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:21.039
<v Speaker 1>and Tesla Ceo. Elon Musk now Elon Musk says that

155
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:23.519
<v Speaker 1>he never met these people. He doesn't know them, but

156
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:27.240
<v Speaker 1>that conflicts with what we know now. I'm not saying

157
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:29.679
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk was somebody who was partying with them all

158
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:32.240
<v Speaker 1>the time or anything like that, but there's no doubt

159
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:37.600
<v Speaker 1>that they were rubbing shoulders at these events. Musk was

160
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.960
<v Speaker 1>photographed with Maxwell at an Oscars after party in twenty

161
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:44.759
<v Speaker 1>and fourteen. Musk claims that he did not know Maxwell

162
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:48.200
<v Speaker 1>and that she photo bombed him at the time. Epstein,

163
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:51.639
<v Speaker 1>who died by suicide in jail allegedly in August of

164
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:55.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty nineteen, said in twenty and eighteen he had given

165
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:59.799
<v Speaker 1>advice to Musk. A spokesperson for Musk denied the claim. Look,

166
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:01.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't know one way or the other what their

167
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:07.240
<v Speaker 1>relationship was. We know Jeffrey Epstein had a propensity for

168
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:10.399
<v Speaker 1>speaking a bunch of bullshit, and he liked to act

169
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:12.519
<v Speaker 1>like he knew people that he didn't. But he also

170
00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:14.279
<v Speaker 1>did have a bunch of friends that he did know,

171
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:18.840
<v Speaker 1>people that he was giving advice to. So either way,

172
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:20.879
<v Speaker 1>it's not a good look going to dinner with Jeffrey

173
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.519
<v Speaker 1>Epstein in twenty and eleven. No matter how you chop it.

174
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.519
<v Speaker 1>Epstein also knew Bill Gates meeting with the Microsoft founder

175
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.759
<v Speaker 1>multiple times following Epstein's first conviction for sex crimes in

176
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:38.639
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and eight. Gates later said he met with

177
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Epstein to try and secure funding from Epstein for his charities,

178
00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>calling it a mistake in judgment. Now, if you're the

179
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:47.320
<v Speaker 1>richest guy in the world, or one of the richest

180
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:49.519
<v Speaker 1>guys in the world, do you really think it makes

181
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:52.000
<v Speaker 1>sense to try and get funding from a child molester

182
00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:56.840
<v Speaker 1>who's buying that shit. I mean, people will because they

183
00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:58.960
<v Speaker 1>don't want to really see the scope of what's going

184
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:02.360
<v Speaker 1>on here. But for those of us who understand, for

185
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:05.080
<v Speaker 1>those of us who have looked behind the curtain, we

186
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:08.759
<v Speaker 1>understand how gross things are and just how much we

187
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:13.159
<v Speaker 1>have been lied to by the so called delete All right, folks,
