1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,839
Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein chronicles.

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,679
Jeffrey Epstein and his buddies were giving money to all

3
00:00:08,839 --> 00:00:11,759
kinds of think tanks, and a lot of those think

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:18,280
tanks were of international renown. One of those think tanks

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,719
that they gave money to was a un affiliated think

6
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,559
tank called the IPI. Now that stands for the International

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,280
Peace Institute. And we've talked about this group before and

8
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,960
how Jeffrey Epstein was one of the donors. Well, there

9
00:00:36,039 --> 00:00:39,960
was another anonymous donor to this group, and another person

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,200
that you're all very familiar with, and that person was

11
00:00:44,359 --> 00:00:48,560
Leon Black. So today we have an article from DN

12
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,200
and this article was originally published on October twenty second

13
00:00:54,439 --> 00:00:59,920
of twoenty twenty headline Leon Black did, like his advisor,

14
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:03,840
Jeffrey Epstein, gave anonymously to U an affiliated thing tank.

15
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:10,920
In March of twenty sixteen, the International Peace Institute IPI

16
00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:14,599
was completing a list of donors who received special recognition

17
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,640
in the thing tank's annual report. The foundations of the

18
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,799
billionaires Bill Gates and George Soros were listed, but there

19
00:01:22,879 --> 00:01:27,280
was a major contributor who was not mentioned, and just

20
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,159
right there from Jump Street, Bill Gates and George Soros,

21
00:01:30,519 --> 00:01:32,799
two of the richest dudes out there right, two of

22
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:39,400
the most powerful men when you're talking about finances. An

23
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,120
IPI employee asked if the donors should be thanked, as

24
00:01:43,159 --> 00:01:45,680
he gave a lot of money to fund several events.

25
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,000
Later that day, she sent a new message referring to

26
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,480
a discussion with the IPI president, Terry Rod Larson. As

27
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,040
discussed with Terry, please do not mention Leon Black, she

28
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,280
wrote in one of several emails the Norwegian Bill Business

29
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:03,439
Daily as obtained So why wouldn't Leon Black want anyone

30
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,200
to know that he's donating to this group? Oh? Could

31
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,520
it be because of his tie, his ties to Epstein

32
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,000
and all of the ties that bind. The idea was

33
00:02:13,039 --> 00:02:15,000
them to leave as little of a paper trail as

34
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:19,560
possible when discussing or talking about their relationship with one another.

35
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,759
It wasn't that they were spooked by Epstein because he

36
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,280
was a sick fuck. They were spooked because they didn't

37
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,199
want to get caught up in it. It's not that

38
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,120
they cared about the women or the fact that Epstein

39
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:34,680
was an animal. They just didn't want that dung covering

40
00:02:34,719 --> 00:02:41,960
them as well. Ruthless nobody makes money like Apollos Ruthless

41
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,439
founder Leon Black was the title of a Bloomberg interview

42
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,800
with the Dollar Billionaire earlier this year. He was called

43
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,159
the most feared man in private equity. There's no doubt

44
00:02:54,159 --> 00:02:56,439
that Leon Black was a heavy hitter for a very

45
00:02:56,479 --> 00:02:58,800
long time and a dude that pretty much could get

46
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,039
away with and do whatever he wanted. There was nobody

47
00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:06,199
that was really standing up to Apollo Global. We're talking

48
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,879
about seriously, seriously heavy hitters here, and Leon Black was

49
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,879
the man. But all good things come to an end,

50
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,800
don't they. And when you live your life shitting on people,

51
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,280
your whole entire life, eventually that catches up to you.

52
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,360
And now that Leon Black is being exposed as somebody

53
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,599
who was very, very intimately involved with Jeffrey Epstein, well

54
00:03:28,719 --> 00:03:31,759
it's like rats jumping off the ship, right. Nobody wants

55
00:03:31,759 --> 00:03:34,360
to be associated with him anymore, not even his own

56
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,240
former company. Black is one of the most powerful figures

57
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,919
on Wall Street, New York's financial center. His fortune is

58
00:03:42,039 --> 00:03:46,039
estimated by Forbes to be around eight billion dollars, making

59
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,159
him the world's two hundred and twenty fourth richest person.

60
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,879
Now imagine there's actually people out there richer than Leon

61
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,479
Black and tells you everything you need to know about

62
00:03:55,479 --> 00:03:58,800
the so called elite. Old boy's worth around eight billion dollars,

63
00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:01,319
and that brings him in at about the two hundred

64
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:04,840
and twenty fourth richest person. And that was during the

65
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,199
time this article was originally published in twenty twenty, so

66
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,840
I'm sure things have changed by now, but that's an

67
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:16,879
obscene amount of money, eight billion dollars. He is also

68
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,920
known for his ties to a sex offender. Earlier in October,

69
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:24,360
The New York Times described Black as the billionaire who

70
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,000
stood by Jeffrey Epstein, with new details about how Black

71
00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:31,959
continued to do business with Epstein after Epstein's two thousand

72
00:04:31,959 --> 00:04:35,600
and eight conviction for solicitation of a minor and not

73
00:04:35,639 --> 00:04:39,360
only just do business, but to be intimately involved, donating,

74
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,399
hanging out, calling them what a bunch of times, emailing

75
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,800
them over fifteen hundred times or whatever. And that's just

76
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,199
what we know about. That's just the relationship that's been

77
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,759
aired out. So if that's what's been aired out, how

78
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,959
much was really going on behind the scenes. The reporting

79
00:04:56,959 --> 00:05:00,000
has led to strong reactions. The board of Black's private

80
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,800
equity firm, Apollo Global Management will examine his relationship with

81
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,639
Epstein at his request. The stock of Apollo has fallen

82
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,800
and one Apollo investor has halted new commitments over Black's

83
00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:15,759
ties to Epstein. Now remember he's gone. Now Leon Black

84
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,519
is no longer part of the company, at least that

85
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,399
we know about what's going on behind the scenes in

86
00:05:21,399 --> 00:05:25,759
that Apollo Global monolith. Who the hell knows, really, But

87
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,480
as far as the public's concerned, Leon Black is no

88
00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:37,040
longer the man over there. Several prominent figures broke ties

89
00:05:37,079 --> 00:05:39,439
with Epstein when it became known that he was under

90
00:05:39,959 --> 00:05:45,240
investigation in two thousand and six. Nevertheless, the financier pedophile

91
00:05:45,639 --> 00:05:49,279
managed to get back among the elite after imprisonment. He

92
00:05:49,439 --> 00:05:54,360
entertained business titans, scientists, and politicians like Microsoft founder Bill

93
00:05:54,399 --> 00:05:59,000
Gates and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barack until he

94
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,720
was arrested by authority. He's in twenty nineteen accused of

95
00:06:02,759 --> 00:06:07,839
human trafficking and abuse. So again, look just another slap home.

96
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,319
All of these people that want to tell you they

97
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,000
had nothing to do with it, that they had no

98
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,199
idea who Jeffrey Epstein was, that they weren't breaking bread

99
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,839
with him, that they weren't at his house, eating and

100
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:23,639
enjoying his you know, hospitality. Well, they're lying because they were.

101
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:27,800
And it's even worse for people who were doing it

102
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:34,560
after the first conviction. IPI president Rod Larson and Black

103
00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:38,079
have one thing in common. According to DNS sources, they

104
00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:41,279
were both frequent guests at Epstein's New York mansion in

105
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:45,639
the years after the conviction, a description neither Black spokesperson

106
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,560
nor Rod Larson have responded to. And this is really

107
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,839
the rub of it, right, all of these folks who

108
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,439
were still hanging out with them after that first conviction.

109
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:56,800
I mean, how can you even try and defend that?

110
00:06:57,399 --> 00:06:59,720
How can you even begin to attempt to defend that

111
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,600
nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Internal documents show that

112
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:10,120
Black supported IPI with nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars,

113
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,519
initially two hundred thousand dollars received in January of twenty

114
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,079
and fifteen, and then seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars

115
00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:23,399
in May twenty and fifteen. This was over a tenth

116
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,000
of the total that was donated to the think tank

117
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,959
that year. So one man over a tenth of the

118
00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:32,560
total donated to the think tank that year, the same

119
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,240
guy that's pumping at Epstein one hundred and fifty eight

120
00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:38,399
million dollars. Remember, so it must be nice to have

121
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,680
all his money to spread around to help your boy Epstein.

122
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,439
And for what what was Leon Black getting on the

123
00:07:44,439 --> 00:07:47,120
flip side of all of that. That's the real question.

124
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,519
He would like the donation to remain anonymous, it says

125
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,199
in an email sent between IPI employees after they had

126
00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:01,079
been in contact with Black's office about the financial support.

127
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,360
The money went, among other things, to a conference on

128
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,800
pandemics and the forum in Salzburg. Well isn't that funny? Huh?

129
00:08:08,839 --> 00:08:12,199
A bit ironic? A conference and a forum on pandemics

130
00:08:12,399 --> 00:08:16,639
and then we get slapped with this pandemic. Interesting. IPI

131
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,199
thanks major contributors in its annual reports. But it is

132
00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:23,879
also an option to give money anonymously. This is a

133
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,319
common practice within philanthropy. Well, there's no doubt a lot

134
00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:30,759
of people do give money anonymously, But when you're doing

135
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,519
something like this for such a good cause, I don't

136
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:35,879
really see the need to do that. Then again, I'm

137
00:08:35,879 --> 00:08:38,399
not the one who's donating the money, so I can't

138
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:46,600
really insert myself into somebody's position. In twenty sixteen, the

139
00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:51,200
head of the philanthropy at the Black company, Elysium Management LLC,

140
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,279
contacted IPI and requested a tax receipt for his donation.

141
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,679
Elysium Management LLC is one of the companies the US

142
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,480
government in the Virgin Islands is investigating because of Black's

143
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,799
relationship with Epstein. And again, look, we have this investigation

144
00:09:06,879 --> 00:09:09,960
that's allegedly going on in the Virgin Islands. But what

145
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,080
has come of it? What have we seen from it?

146
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,000
What have we heard from it? Has there been any movement?

147
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,559
Now we've heard a lot of a good game being

148
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,200
talked by Denise George down there, but what really has happened?

149
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,919
Has she brought anybody in? Has there been depositions? Can

150
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,440
we get an update please? There are several ties between

151
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,240
Black's philanthropy and Epstein, who for a period held positions

152
00:09:34,279 --> 00:09:38,480
associated with Black's family Foundation. A spokesman for Black has

153
00:09:38,519 --> 00:09:41,799
said that Epstein was one of his advisors between twenty

154
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,120
twelve and twenty and seventeen. One of the areas he

155
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,759
helped with was philanthropy. Black paid at least fifty million

156
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,960
dollars to Epstein for his services, According to the New

157
00:09:53,039 --> 00:09:55,120
York Times, and we know it was much more than that.

158
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,480
Now we know that it was over one hundred and

159
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,080
fifty eight million dollars, and that shares a lot of

160
00:10:00,159 --> 00:10:06,120
money to pay somebody for advice. The prestigious University MIT

161
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,360
is one of several organizations that have investigated their own

162
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,919
ties to Epstein. The report from earlier this year states

163
00:10:13,919 --> 00:10:16,600
that Epstein at one point said that he got Black

164
00:10:16,639 --> 00:10:21,480
to donate five million dollars to MIT anonymously. So Black

165
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,039
was just donating a bunch of money around the whole world.

166
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,799
I guess for Jeffrey Epstein, because they're such good friends,

167
00:10:27,159 --> 00:10:30,039
and Black is just such a generous man that he

168
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,120
wanted to spread a little bit of cheese across everybody's cracker.

169
00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:37,120
I mean, since he's donating so much money, I would

170
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,759
think that there's a few causes that could use his help. Right.

171
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,759
Funny how that money only goes to causes that were

172
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,960
important to Epstein or causes that could have moved the

173
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,240
needle for them as far as being power brokers a

174
00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:56,200
little bit more spokesperson, this is why Black donated. DN

175
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,720
has asked a number of questions a Black spokesperson and IPI,

176
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,240
including whether, including whether Epstein was in any way involved

177
00:11:04,279 --> 00:11:08,159
in Black's financial support for the think tank. IPI have

178
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,639
not answered a statement from Black spokesperson did not address

179
00:11:11,639 --> 00:11:15,399
the issue. Well, that's nothing new. They never addressed the issue.

180
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,840
It's always you know, oh, well there's an investigation or

181
00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:23,720
we can't talk about that currently, blah blah, blah blah.

182
00:11:23,919 --> 00:11:27,159
In a letter to Apollo investors sent last year, Black

183
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,559
wrote that on a few occasions, I donated money to

184
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:35,559
certain charitable organizations which mister Epstein was affiliated. The spokesperson

185
00:11:35,879 --> 00:11:39,240
has not answered if IPI was one of those organizations.

186
00:11:39,279 --> 00:11:42,240
At this point, You notice how he tries to downplay

187
00:11:42,279 --> 00:11:45,919
it too, right, Oh, I donated to a few foundations

188
00:11:45,919 --> 00:11:49,000
that Epstein's affiliated with. He doesn't say that he did

189
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,639
it at Epstein's behest. He doesn't say that he was

190
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,039
a partner of Epstein's, just that it was just a coincidence.

191
00:11:57,159 --> 00:12:00,519
Consistent with his long standing support of organizations focused on

192
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,840
foreign affairs and world peace. Mister Black donated to the

193
00:12:03,879 --> 00:12:08,000
International Peace Institute because he was impressed with the organization's

194
00:12:08,039 --> 00:12:12,840
mission and charitable work. The donation was made with full transparency,

195
00:12:13,159 --> 00:12:17,399
similar to his generous support for many other philanthropic organizations.

196
00:12:17,799 --> 00:12:21,320
The statement from black spokesperson provided to d N said

197
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,879
mister Black continues to be appalled by the conduct that

198
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,159
led to the criminal charges against mister Epstein, and he

199
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,039
deeply regrets having any involvement with him. A spokesperson told

200
00:12:32,039 --> 00:12:35,000
The New York Times earlier this month. Oh, I'm sure

201
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,799
you know. The regret is just eating away at him,

202
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,679
just eating away at him. That's why mister Black has

203
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,879
found it within his heart to come out and open

204
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,759
up a retreat for people who have been abused. Eight

205
00:12:47,799 --> 00:12:50,000
billion dollars sure does go a long way to fix

206
00:12:50,039 --> 00:12:52,440
and shit, doesn't it? Folks? How much of that eight

207
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,879
million dollars has mister Black spent to try and fix

208
00:12:55,919 --> 00:13:03,720
situations such as these? Oh, that's right. Nothing close connections IPI,

209
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,799
like Black has close ties to Epstein. Deann reported earlier

210
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,679
in October that the President Terry Rod Larson was both

211
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,600
in debt to Epstein at one point and later authorized

212
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,840
a payment to him through the think tank. IPI denies

213
00:13:17,879 --> 00:13:21,120
that Epstein received any payment. You know, it's such a joke.

214
00:13:21,399 --> 00:13:24,440
There's no accountability here. There's no one doing the real work,

215
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,559
and when you look at the overall situation that we're

216
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,159
facing and all of the power players that are on

217
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,639
the stage, it's going to take some people with some

218
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,200
real courage in positions of power to finally say enough

219
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,759
is enough. And unfortunately, in the real world, we don't

220
00:13:41,799 --> 00:13:49,559
have too many heroes. Epstein also donated money to IPI

221
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,759
in secret. In the annual report from twenty eleven, IPI

222
00:13:53,919 --> 00:13:57,039
praises an anonymous donor who helped start a fund with

223
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,200
a generous, generous contribution. But the following year and Epstein

224
00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:04,120
Foundation took credit. And that's the thing. With all of

225
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,159
this secrecy and privacy and LLCs and all of the

226
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,279
rest of it, at what point do you take a

227
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,720
look at what's going on and realize that we've been duped.

228
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,279
And I don't just mean people in America, I'm talking

229
00:14:16,279 --> 00:14:23,080
about all of us. DN reported last year that IPI

230
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,240
received at least three hundred and seventy five thousand dollars

231
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,279
from the Epstein Foundation Gratitude America. This was the sum

232
00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:34,399
that was listed in the foundation's tax documents for twenty seventeen.

233
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,399
Now it turns out that Epstein's donation was larger than

234
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,840
three hundred and seventy five thousand dollars. Look all of

235
00:14:41,879 --> 00:14:44,519
these foundations, I have to look at them sideways at

236
00:14:44,519 --> 00:14:46,960
this point. How many of these people were putting this

237
00:14:47,039 --> 00:14:49,879
money in their pocket instead of putting it towards whatever

238
00:14:49,919 --> 00:14:52,759
their cause is. Now, I'm not saying they all were

239
00:14:52,799 --> 00:14:55,360
doing it, for sure, but it doesn't garner more of

240
00:14:55,399 --> 00:14:58,399
an investigation. The fact that these dudes were running around

241
00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:00,759
with Epstein in the first place, the fact that they

242
00:15:00,759 --> 00:15:05,320
were taking is money. How is it not a bigger issue?

243
00:15:07,799 --> 00:15:10,559
IPI sent out a release last year after DN had

244
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,759
reported the support from Gratitude America. The statement said that

245
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,679
a similar sum as the one received from the foundation

246
00:15:18,039 --> 00:15:21,360
would be donated to programs that support victims of human

247
00:15:21,399 --> 00:15:24,840
trafficking and abuse. All of these groups that say that

248
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,000
that's fine and well, but where's your money really going?

249
00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:31,919
Are you really donating it to people who need it?

250
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,360
Or are you'd giving it to your buddy's charity and

251
00:15:34,399 --> 00:15:36,440
your buddy's going to piece off eighty percent of that

252
00:15:36,519 --> 00:15:40,600
money and pay it out to fees and salaries, right,

253
00:15:40,759 --> 00:15:43,039
because we all know there's a hustle going on with

254
00:15:43,159 --> 00:15:46,399
these charitable groups as well. Look, everybody has a hustle,

255
00:15:46,519 --> 00:15:50,320
and everybody has a lick, and these charitable groups certainly

256
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:57,679
are no different. In IPI's recent financial statements for twenty nineteen,

257
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,480
it appears that total sum is five hundred in twenty

258
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,039
five thousand, one hundred and fifty thousand, more than what

259
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,879
was previously reported. So where did that one hundred and

260
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,120
fifty thousand racks go? Was that shit split up between

261
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,320
you and the homies? Or what I mean? Am I

262
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,039
completely off base to ask that question, considering what we

263
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,919
know about these people and considering how long they've been

264
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:27,799
drifting Another foundation, IPI also received money from another Epstein foundation.

265
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,759
In April twenty fourteen, the un affiliated think tank received

266
00:16:32,759 --> 00:16:36,360
a check for fourteen thousand, one hundred and fifty eight dollars.

267
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,600
The money came from Enhanced Education and Epstein Foundation. After

268
00:16:41,639 --> 00:16:45,919
the check arrived, an accountant contacted the assistant to IPI's president,

269
00:16:46,039 --> 00:16:49,320
Rob Larson. The check is for a reimbursement of Larry

270
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,000
Summers flight, she wrote. And now remember Larry Summers is

271
00:16:53,159 --> 00:16:57,120
the big time you know economics guy, always running around

272
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,639
on TV talking about, you know, the economy. This that

273
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,240
the other thing worked for Obama worked with Clinton and

274
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,079
worked with Biden for quite some time as well. Well,

275
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,480
this is another guy who has ties to all of

276
00:17:08,519 --> 00:17:13,039
these clowns, and another man who was running around with Epstein. Now, again,

277
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,640
like I always say, I don't have any proof that

278
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,799
the dude was engaging in any abuse, but he certainly

279
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,960
was friendly with Epstein, certainly running around and breaking bread

280
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:28,880
with Epstein. Summers has long been a powerful figure in

281
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,359
American politics, including as Treasury Secretary. He has several links

282
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,119
to Epstein and is one of many profiled names in

283
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,640
the logs of Epstein's jet. DN reported earlier in October

284
00:17:40,759 --> 00:17:44,039
that it was Epstein's office that sent IPI instructions for

285
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,480
payment of one hundred thousand dollars to Summers for a

286
00:17:47,519 --> 00:17:52,039
peace project in Mongolia. A peace project in Mongolia for

287
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,000
one hundred thousand racks, Yo, where does your boys sign up?

288
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,240
Because that sounds like a good gig to me. One

289
00:17:59,319 --> 00:18:02,359
hundred thousand for what? What are you gonna go give

290
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:07,359
a quick talk to some peace tank over in Mongolia Kazakhstan?

291
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,440
Why did Epstein pay for the flight and what was

292
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,319
the purpose of it? Neither IPI, Larry Summer's office, nor

293
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:19,000
attorneys for Epstein's estate have responded, you don't call me directly,

294
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,799
Summers said when DN contacted him in September. You see,

295
00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:25,279
this is how they feel. They feel like they're above reproach.

296
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,759
All these people, all of these people that think they're

297
00:18:27,759 --> 00:18:30,359
smarter than you, all these people that are running around

298
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,000
on TV telling you to hate your neighbor. These are

299
00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:35,839
the kind of people that they are. This is their

300
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,960
true character when you pull back the curtain. So I'd

301
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,200
be very very cautious about which one of these dUtu

302
00:18:42,279 --> 00:18:45,319
roots you're listening to on TV and then taking that

303
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,960
information seriously and then running with it, because all of

304
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,680
these people have motivations, right, Remember that there's always ulterior

305
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,519
motives for these people. And when we're talking about knuckleheads

306
00:18:57,559 --> 00:19:02,599
like Summers, definitely these guys. That's a power player, there

307
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,920
is no doubt about it. But when a journalist calls

308
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,720
you and you're a public figure, you probably shouldn't be saying, oh,

309
00:19:09,799 --> 00:19:13,480
you don't call me directly? What are you the aristocracy?

310
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:17,319
What are you one of the tutors? Give me a break, dude,

311
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,599
answer the email. Okay, you put your pants on in

312
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,440
the morning, just like that reporter. But an email sent

313
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,799
from Epstein to Rod Larsen earlier the same month, April sixth,

314
00:19:28,839 --> 00:19:33,599
twenty fourteen, may provide some of the explanation. The email

315
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,720
concerned summers with kaz In the subject field, Epstein outlined

316
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,200
how summers could help with challenges in Kazakhstan, pointing to

317
00:19:41,279 --> 00:19:44,880
five issues. Among them was how the country could remain

318
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,920
attractive to foreign investors in the face of political instability

319
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,039
in the region. Now remember, keep this in mind, Prince

320
00:19:52,079 --> 00:19:56,640
Andrew Goga Ashkenazi all of his other buddies from the

321
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,920
Kazakhstan region. Now you have Epstein over here conducting business

322
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,359
in Kazakhstan. Well you don't think you think all of

323
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,279
that's just a coincidence as well? Absolutely not so. The

324
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,160
question is what was Andrew involved in here? As far

325
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:16,119
as being a powerbroker. Succeeding would require an approach that

326
00:20:16,759 --> 00:20:20,440
melds a broad and high level political perspective with technical

327
00:20:20,559 --> 00:20:26,599
economic expertise, Epstein wrote. According to IPI's website, Rod Larson

328
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,880
was in the country meeting several senior officials one month

329
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,279
before Epstein sent the email. The purpose was to further

330
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:40,000
develop the department's close relations with Kazakhstan. Terry Rod Larson, IPI,

331
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,680
Summer's office, and Epstein's estate lawyers have not answered questions

332
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,759
for this story, so like usual, they just denied it

333
00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:51,279
or refused to answer questions. But that doesn't mean the

334
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,640
questions are going away. As you can probably imagine considering

335
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,440
where what almost three years away from this article and

336
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,839
we're still talking about it. You see, these questions aren't

337
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,279
just gonna go away. And all of these people that

338
00:21:04,319 --> 00:21:07,400
are trying to avoid these questions, well they're not gonna

339
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,759
be able to do that because there's way too many

340
00:21:09,759 --> 00:21:12,079
people now who are hip to what went on, and

341
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,440
there's way too many people who want answers. So when

342
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:20,200
you have people like you know, Larry Summers and Larsen

343
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,079
and the un and all these other groups that were

344
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,319
engaging in these shadowy business deals with Epstein, and then

345
00:21:26,319 --> 00:21:29,200
they refuse to answer any questions about it, well what

346
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,319
do you think the populace is going to think? And

347
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,599
if you think people are just gonna shrug their shoulders

348
00:21:34,599 --> 00:21:37,200
and move on, well, my friend, you have not been

349
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,480
