1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,319 Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the 2 00:00:03,359 --> 00:00:07,639 Epstein Chronicles. When it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, we've heard 3 00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:10,960 every excuse in the book from people who are around 4 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,279 them who want to now deny that there were friends 5 00:00:14,279 --> 00:00:17,600 with them. But one of the most ridiculous parts of 6 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,280 all of it are these billionaires that want to try 7 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,199 and tell us that they were around Epstein because he 8 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,000 was going to donate to their charity. You really mean 9 00:00:28,079 --> 00:00:31,280 to tell me you needed Jeffrey Epstein's money. Bill Gates 10 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,359 bro has more money than God. He could fund these 11 00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:40,320 projects on his own, but he's reaching out to Jeffrey 12 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,359 Epstein because he needs some money for his charity. It 13 00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:47,079 was never something that was based in reality. We all 14 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,759 knew that there was something else going on there, and 15 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,600 of course we've come to find out that the things 16 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,039 that Bill Gates has been denying about Jeffrey Epstein have 17 00:00:57,119 --> 00:00:59,280 turned out to be true, at least some of them. 18 00:01:00,159 --> 00:01:02,159 We know the Bridge player is true, and we know 19 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,799 that there was at least one other affair that Bill 20 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,239 Gates was engaged in that was related to Epstein as well, 21 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,120 and that doesn't even begin to touch all the other 22 00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:15,280 lies that Bill Gates has told over the years about 23 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,359 the relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and the nexus of that relationship, 24 00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:23,319 And now that the speculation has been proven to be real, 25 00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:26,879 a lot of these billionaires that have pledged to do 26 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,480 what Bill Gates is doing by giving away all of 27 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,200 his money and shit, well, they're running for the hills. 28 00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:37,359 Nobody wants to be associated with Jeffrey Epstein's buddy, Bill Gates, 29 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,719 not anymore. And in my opinion, it's a long time coming. 30 00:01:43,879 --> 00:01:46,560 How does a guy that creates a computer program sit 31 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,400 on an ivory tower and tell me about health issues? Like, 32 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:55,439 for real, here's an idea, make sure that windows stops crashing. 33 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,439 Don't worry about my health. The last thing any of 34 00:01:58,519 --> 00:02:02,159 us want or need is some billionaire making pretend he 35 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,000 cares about the future of humanity. We all know he 36 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,000 doesn't care about humanity, and that Bill Gates, like all 37 00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:12,759 these other people, cares about Bill Gates. So today we 38 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,479 have an article from the New York Post and the 39 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,159 headline billionaire's bolt from Bill Gates scandal scarred giving pledge 40 00:02:20,439 --> 00:02:25,639 as critics branded Epstein adjacent. This article was authored by 41 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:31,599 Ariel Zilber. The Bill Gates back campaign urging billionaires to 42 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,400 donate most of their fortunes to good causes, is reportedly 43 00:02:35,439 --> 00:02:39,879 facing backlash as tech moguls mock the Philanthropy Club and 44 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,080 Gates recently revealed ties to lay financier and sex offender 45 00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:48,199 Jeffrey Epstein continue to shadow the initiative. Well, it was 46 00:02:48,199 --> 00:02:51,280 probably Epstein's idea. All right, maybe that's a little too far, 47 00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:54,400 but you get the drift right. Nobody wants the scent 48 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,240 of Jeffrey Epstein on them, nobody, And that should tell 49 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,919 you everything you need to know. And it's also disgusting 50 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,039 how the legacy media has largely forgot about the story. 51 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,800 All they want to talk about is Iran. And look, 52 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,479 I've been trying to tell you for a long time 53 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,840 that the legacy media they only care about this story 54 00:03:15,039 --> 00:03:20,280 when it's driving clicks, right, when it's running engagement. But 55 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,719 when that goes away, so does their interest. It's all 56 00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:27,319 about profiting for a lot of people. So when the 57 00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:31,240 next disaster pops up, everybody just becomes an expert about 58 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,960 that topic. But when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, even 59 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,479 though this story is not the number one story right 60 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,439 now due to the war in Iran, it's not going away. 61 00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:44,960 And roughly fifty percent of people in America, according to 62 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,240 a new poll, think that the war in Iran was 63 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,080 started to cover up for these files. And I think 64 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,360 that that is pretty reflective from what I'm hearing from 65 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,360 people out there who think that all of this is 66 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,280 nothing more then Donald Trump wagging the dog and look 67 00:04:03,759 --> 00:04:05,439 very possible. I'm not going to sit here and tell 68 00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:07,800 you it's not. But I'm also not going to sit 69 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,919 here and tell you that that's for sure what's going on, 70 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,759 because I don't have that kind of information and I 71 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,279 respect all of you too much to bullshit you. I'm 72 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,800 not here to drive engagement. I'm not here to get 73 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,759 a fat ass paycheck from insert sponsor here. I'm here 74 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,319 to drive this story home and hopefully open up a 75 00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:30,120 few doors for people who might otherwise not have had 76 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,839 access to the story. And in my opinion, I don't 77 00:04:33,879 --> 00:04:36,839 think that anything else can be dealt with until we 78 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,480 deal with this. This is the rot that is infecting 79 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,920 the actual heart of America and it needs to be 80 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,120 dealt with one way or the other. And I don't 81 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,680 care what kind of distractions they throw up, whether it's 82 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,519 a war, an alien ship, approach and earth whatever. I 83 00:04:54,519 --> 00:04:56,920 don't care. This is what we're going to talk about 84 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,279 on this podcast. Because when I tell you that those 85 00:05:00,319 --> 00:05:02,720 boats have been burned on the beach, I mean it. 86 00:05:03,319 --> 00:05:08,120 There is no going back for me. Critics like Peter Thiel, 87 00:05:08,319 --> 00:05:11,920 who is not a signatory, have derided the Giving Pledge 88 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,040 initiative as an Epstein adjacent fake boomers club and privately 89 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,040 urge fellow billionaires, including Elon Musk, to abandon the pledge. 90 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,079 According to The New York Times, well that's pretty funny. 91 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,319 Peter Thiel is calling somebody else Epstein adjacent, breaking news. 92 00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:30,519 You're all Epstein adjacent stupid, and it all plays into 93 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:35,040 their nonsense. Whenever they think they can weaponize Epstein against 94 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,639 an enemy, they most certainly will. But when they think 95 00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:42,199 that the weaponization is harmful to them or their narrative, 96 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,120 oh it's just a big hoax. And I'm getting tired 97 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:50,399 of that shit too. The old told Musk he should 98 00:05:50,399 --> 00:05:53,040 pull out of the initiative because his money would go 99 00:05:53,079 --> 00:05:56,600 to left wing nonprofits that will be chosen by Bill Gates, 100 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,160 The Times reported, citing a recent speech that pil gave. Now, look, 101 00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:06,120 I'm certainly not giving my money to Bill Gates, and 102 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,519 if I was some kind of billionaire, I'd be the 103 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,360 shepherd of that money. I'd be deciding where it was 104 00:06:11,399 --> 00:06:14,240 gonna go. And frankly, if I wanted to give it away, 105 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,920 I'd go to the neighborhoods I grew up in, and 106 00:06:16,959 --> 00:06:19,759 I'd go door to door and I'd give that money 107 00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:23,160 away to the people, not to some big ass corporation 108 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,759 or some big ass five oh one three c or 109 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,800 whatever They're just gonna waste the money. I'd go right 110 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,319 back to my neighborhoods in South Yonkers, the South Bronx, 111 00:06:34,959 --> 00:06:38,079 and East Las Vegas, and I'd give that money to 112 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,959 the people directly. The difference between me and Bill Gates, though, 113 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,600 is that Bill Gates didn't grow up poor. But the 114 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,279 point still stands, give it to the people directly. Why 115 00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:50,199 do you want to give it to these corporations or 116 00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:53,040 these charities or only pennies on the dollar end up 117 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,079 in the hands of the people that need it the most. 118 00:06:55,439 --> 00:06:57,519 So I've always said that if I ever get a bag, 119 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,720 if I ever become rich, that's that's what I'm gonna do. 120 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,480 I'll go to my local Walmart and pay lay away 121 00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:07,560 for people and just boogy out without anybody knowing it 122 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,920 was me. Or like hospital bills, right, go to the hospital, 123 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,079 find out who's in dereliction, and just pay those bills. 124 00:07:14,519 --> 00:07:16,240 If you want to help people and you want to 125 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,879 help the most vulnerable amongst us, that's how you do it, 126 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,600 giving it to charities so they can do whatever they 127 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,000 want with it. Zero chance. Gates has come under fire 128 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,600 in recent weeks after he admitted to cheating on his 129 00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:32,240 then wife, Melinda Frenchgates with two Russian women that he 130 00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:35,800 met through the late Jeffrey Epstein, and he lied about it. 131 00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:38,600 So if you lie about that, what else is he 132 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,319 lying about. I keep saying this all the time, and 133 00:07:42,399 --> 00:07:46,040 I'll continue to say it. When you show me and 134 00:07:46,079 --> 00:07:49,480 tell me who you are, I'm gonna believe you, because 135 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,160 when I meet somebody, I go into that introduction thinking 136 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,879 that the person's a decent person. Right. I always give 137 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,839 everybody enough rope to hang themselves. But when you're out 138 00:08:00,839 --> 00:08:03,519 here lying and bullshitting and telling me you have no 139 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,079 idea who Jeffrey Epstein is and that you guys only 140 00:08:06,079 --> 00:08:09,040 had a cup of coffee together and talked about philanthropy, 141 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,720 and then we find out it's something different. Well, my friend, 142 00:08:12,959 --> 00:08:16,120 you are now on the clock, and what was speculation 143 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:23,360 previously has now been confirmed. The pledge has also drawn 144 00:08:23,399 --> 00:08:27,720 criticism from some tech investors, who argue that modern philanthropy 145 00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:33,120 has intertwined with progressive politics. Well, there's no doubt about that. 146 00:08:34,639 --> 00:08:38,320 A lot of these organizations are nothing more than money 147 00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:43,480 laundering foundations, and people like Jeffrey Epstein and people like 148 00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:46,919 Bill Gates, they wrap themselves in philanthropy and use it 149 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,360 as armor so that later on down the road when 150 00:08:49,399 --> 00:08:51,440 they get nailed, they can be like, oh, look what 151 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,200 I did for humanity. I'm such a great person. I 152 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,399 donated so much money. I would never do this. Unfortunately 153 00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:02,720 for them, we're onto their bullshit. It and that shield 154 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,399 of armor that they've had previously when it comes to philanthropy, 155 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,399 that's been pierced. So I don't care how much money 156 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,960 you give or how many righteous causes you champion, because 157 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,559 it's all fugeesy. You don't really believe in that, you 158 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,360 don't really feel that way. You're just trying to buy credibility. 159 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,039 You're just trying to shift the narrative. You're just trying 160 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,720 to make yourself out to be the good guy, when 161 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:31,279 in reality, all these people are the true villains. Critics 162 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,240 say that many of the nonprofits and foundations favored by 163 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,320 major donors, particularly those tied to global health, climate initiatives, 164 00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:44,559 and diversity programs, reflect left leaning priorities, fueling claims that 165 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,919 giving pledge has become associated with what causes rather than 166 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,960 political neutral charity. And this is what I'm talking about. 167 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,200 Why would you want your money to be managed by 168 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,000 somebody else. Shouldn't you just take that money and put 169 00:09:59,039 --> 00:10:01,519 it to a cause that's close to your heart, something 170 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,159 that you want to help out with, something you think 171 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,720 you can make a difference with. That seems like the 172 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:11,960 way to go. Venture capitalist Mark and Dreesen has argued 173 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,519 that philanthropy once functioned as kind of a reputational bargain 174 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,360 for billionaires, allowing them to wash away all your sins 175 00:10:19,639 --> 00:10:24,039 and be recast as virtuous donors. Since then, however, the 176 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,679 social contract has broken down as criticism of the tech 177 00:10:27,759 --> 00:10:32,039 sector has intensified. Well, here's an idea. Stop diddling kids 178 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:37,159 and supporting people that do. Oh woe is me, nobody's 179 00:10:37,159 --> 00:10:41,440 buying or bullshit anymore. Whah, go spend your billions and 180 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,080 shut up. But you're not going to blackmail the American 181 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,799 people anymore with your financial givings, and you're certainly not 182 00:10:49,879 --> 00:10:52,879 going to change the narrative. We know what you people are, 183 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,840 and the rest of the world, well, they're waking up 184 00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:01,399 to it as well. Brian Armstrong, the air founder of coinbase, 185 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,000 quietly exited the initiative in twenty twenty four, removing his 186 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,480 name from the pledge's website five years after signing on. 187 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,120 The Times reported even some of the early supporters are 188 00:11:12,159 --> 00:11:15,960 said to be rethinking there are commitments. Larry Ellison, the 189 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,279 Oracle co founder and one of the original signatories, said 190 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,960 last year that he was amending his pledge to focus 191 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,080 more heavily on for profit research ventures. The Times reported, 192 00:11:27,399 --> 00:11:30,519 Now he'll tell you because this is a financial decision. 193 00:11:30,759 --> 00:11:34,159 But the truth is he knows that doing this charity 194 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,600 shit isn't going to provide him the cover that it 195 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,879 used to. So he's out. That's it, moving on to 196 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:44,639 something different. Everything's a hustle to these people. You have 197 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:49,320 to understand everything's a transaction and you and I, well, 198 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:55,600 we're the currency. Critics have argued the undertaking lacks teeth, 199 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,080 noting it carries no enforcement mechanism and does not track 200 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,679 how much money signatories actually donate, allowing billionaires to fulfill 201 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,720 the promise decades later through their estates. Yeah, after everybody 202 00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:11,000 got their dough, folks. It's all a hustle. And this 203 00:12:11,039 --> 00:12:13,120 is what I'm trying to tell you all the time. 204 00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:16,879 All these really rich people, they don't care about you, 205 00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:20,840 None of them do. Once you get to that level, 206 00:12:21,639 --> 00:12:26,799 it's all about profit, that's it, and everything is a 207 00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:30,279 means that justifies the end. Skeptics also note that much 208 00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:33,639 of the pledge wealth is routed into private foundations or 209 00:12:33,759 --> 00:12:37,399 donor advise funds, vehicles that can allow billions to sit 210 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,960 for years before reaching operating charities. The Times reported, just 211 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,039 like I was saying earlier, take the money to the people, 212 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,679 give it to them directly. The kind of shit that 213 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,639 crime bosses do. Right, Oh, it's Thanksgiving, let's give out 214 00:12:51,639 --> 00:12:55,720 turkeys in the neighborhood. But no, these people aren't even 215 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,960 that smart. They really think that everybody's so stupid that 216 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,919 we're just going to go along. They're nonsense and their 217 00:13:01,039 --> 00:13:04,240 narrative and think they're these great guys and gals because 218 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,159 they're donating money. And that's because for years and years, 219 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,200 that's how the game was played. Do whatever you want 220 00:13:10,279 --> 00:13:13,279 as a degenerate, then donates the money, and it wipes 221 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:18,399 all the sins away. Taren Jensen, the interim head of 222 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,360 The Giving Pledge, defended the initiative, telling the Post in 223 00:13:21,399 --> 00:13:25,399 a statement that debate over philanthropy is inevitable and welcome, 224 00:13:25,919 --> 00:13:28,799 and noting the campaign now includes more than two hundred 225 00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:32,480 and fifty donors across thirty countries, many of whom have 226 00:13:32,639 --> 00:13:36,399 already met their commitments or are steadily working toward them. 227 00:13:37,639 --> 00:13:40,440 Jensen added the goal is to keep building a culture 228 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,080 where giving is the norm, while helping signatories turn their 229 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,879 pledges into actions such a Hustle where givings the norm 230 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,399 to other organizations whose board members, by the way, are 231 00:13:53,480 --> 00:14:00,960 friends with these billionaires. Talk about a circular system. Launched 232 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,039 in twenty ten by Bill Gates, Molinda French Gates, and 233 00:14:04,039 --> 00:14:07,240 Warren Buffett, the Pledge asked the world's wealthiest people to 234 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,919 commit to giving away the majority of their fortunes to charity, 235 00:14:11,279 --> 00:14:14,480 either during their lifetimes or after death. Imagine being the 236 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,320 kid of one of these dudes, and you hear that 237 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,799 your fortune is being given away thanks Dad appreciate you, Bud. 238 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,960 Bill Gates has said Epstein, who died by suicide in 239 00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:29,559 jail in twenty nineteen while awaiting trial on federal sex 240 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,440 trafficking charges, was one of the factors behind his split 241 00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:37,919 from his wife of twenty seven years. Gates has acknowledged 242 00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:41,000 meeting Epstein several times after the latter's two thousand and 243 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,559 eight conviction for so eliciting sex from a minor, saying 244 00:14:44,799 --> 00:14:49,039 he regretted the encounters. Oh yeah, he regretted it so 245 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,159 much that he continued to do it. He regretted it 246 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,240 so much that he had Epstein took him up with women. 247 00:14:56,919 --> 00:14:59,840 Does anyone really believe Bill Gates brow your wife to 248 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,240 did you because you are hanging out with Captain Diddle Supreme? 249 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:10,799 But the rest of us should just forgive you French. 250 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,879 Gates stepped away from the foundation that administers the Giving 251 00:15:13,919 --> 00:15:17,639 Pledge in twenty twenty four, three years after the divorce. 252 00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:21,919 I firmly believe in the Giving Pledge and consider it 253 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,080 quite a success, though my physical limitations have eliminated my 254 00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:29,399 participation in the annual get together. The ninety five year 255 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,120 old Buffett, who recently stepped down as CEO of Berkshire. 256 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,480 Hathaway told The Times, I've continued to contact possible members, 257 00:15:37,799 --> 00:15:40,519 but only on a minor scale. In recent years, Bill 258 00:15:40,559 --> 00:15:45,960 Gates has continued major efforts. French Gates has acknowledged that 259 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,639 the results of the pledge have been uneven. She recently 260 00:15:49,679 --> 00:15:53,799 told Wired that some participants have donated at a massive scale, 261 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,679 while others have moved more slowly. Wait a minute, we're 262 00:15:57,679 --> 00:16:00,720 shocked that billionaires are bullshitting and they're going back on 263 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,200 their pledges. Well, who would have thought that the smarmy 264 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,919 ass bankers and the smarmy ass rich people are going 265 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,679 to be smarmy. Some are doing it and some are 266 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,519 trying or aren't ready to, she said. French Gates added 267 00:16:13,679 --> 00:16:16,440 that the initiative has not progressed as far as she 268 00:16:16,519 --> 00:16:20,080 once hoped. I wish we had been even more successful 269 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,639 with the pledge than we have been to date, she said. 270 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,960 It's a problem to continue working on the post. I 271 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,080 saw a comment from Gates. French Gates feel Ellison, Armstrong 272 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,200 and Buffett. You know, Bill Gates is his own worst 273 00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:35,639 enemy here. He should have just been honest from the 274 00:16:35,759 --> 00:16:39,879 very beginning about Jeffrey Epstein. Yeah, I asked him for 275 00:16:39,919 --> 00:16:42,720 some money. And yes he did introduce me to a 276 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,000 couple of women, but everything was contensual, you know, something 277 00:16:46,039 --> 00:16:49,679 along those lines. But no, Bill Gates had to continue 278 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,960 to lie, had to deny had the office gate instead 279 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,320 of just being a man and own an up. And 280 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,039 of course that's now leading to these people bounce in 281 00:16:58,159 --> 00:17:00,879 from the initiative. But at the end of the day, 282 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,360 does it really matter to Bill Gates? Is it going 283 00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:06,000 to affect them financially? Is it going to affect them 284 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,759 at all? It's not, And that's because consequences are only 285 00:17:09,799 --> 00:17:14,119 for people like you and me, never for people like 286 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:19,319 Bill Gates.
