1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,879
Epstein Chronicles. One of Jeffrey Epstein's closest friends, one of

3
00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:12,240
his closest confidants, was, no doubt, Larry Summers. And up

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,839
until this point, Larry Summers had been able to navigate

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,879
the choppy waters that have been caused by the Epstein

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,879
malstrom and he's been able to keep himself afloat. Well,

7
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,719
that all ended today as it's been announced that Larry

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:35,079
Summers is resigning as the university professor at Harvard. Now,

9
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,320
his relationship with Epstein isn't something that is, you know,

10
00:00:38,439 --> 00:00:42,359
brand new. We've known about Larry Summers and his relationship

11
00:00:42,359 --> 00:00:46,000
with Epstein for a very long time. But now with

12
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,240
all the emails backing up what people were saying, his

13
00:00:49,359 --> 00:00:53,240
denials become bull And I think this is the pattern

14
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,439
that we're seeing time and time again. All these people

15
00:00:56,479 --> 00:01:00,000
that denied their relationships with Epstein are all being out

16
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,159
as liars, and that includes people like Elon Musk as well.

17
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:06,920
You know, he has a real big mouth, doesn't he. Oh,

18
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,040
I'll pay for the lawyer of anyone who wants to

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,879
come out and name so and so. Yeah, sure, buddy,

20
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,239
probably some kind of syh op to get information about

21
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,799
people who are making allegations so you and your friends

22
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,480
can quash them. And I hate to be cynical, but

23
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,560
I'm only half joking when I say that, Like, does

24
00:01:25,599 --> 00:01:29,840
anybody really trust people like Larry Summers or Elon Musk?

25
00:01:31,359 --> 00:01:34,400
I know I don't, And now that the receipts are

26
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,280
here to back up what people have said, Larry Summers

27
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,959
has no choice but to tuck tail and run. And

28
00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:43,719
guess what, I don't feel bad about it. I don't

29
00:01:43,719 --> 00:01:46,439
feel bad for one second. This dude knew exactly what

30
00:01:46,519 --> 00:01:49,239
was going on for all these years, never came forward,

31
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,239
never offered himself up to the investigators to say, hey,

32
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,760
look I was around Jeffrey. I might have seen something.

33
00:01:55,319 --> 00:01:58,079
Did he do any of that? No? Right, So why

34
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,560
shouldn't Larry Summers lose his job? I mean, that's what

35
00:02:00,599 --> 00:02:02,840
they're saying about all the young girls. Oh well, she

36
00:02:02,959 --> 00:02:06,000
was a trafficker. Doesn't matter that she was groomed when

37
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,560
she was fourteen, she became eighteen and she kept doing it.

38
00:02:10,599 --> 00:02:12,719
Isn't that what they say? Isn't that the argument that's

39
00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:14,919
being made by the same people who think that we

40
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,879
should be mad and sad that someone like Larry Summers

41
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,240
ended up losing their job. As they sit here and

42
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,439
try and call people traffickers and all kinds of hainiush

43
00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:28,879
shit without any context, without any nuance, it's straight up absurd.

44
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,199
Imagine being more critical of the people who were abused

45
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,599
than the people that actually did the abusing or the enabling,

46
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,879
because for some people, those are the folks who are

47
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:41,240
the actual victims. Because you know, this is all just

48
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,120
a moral panic and it's all over blown, and the

49
00:02:44,159 --> 00:02:48,120
evidence they have to back that up is exactly none. Meanwhile,

50
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,360
on the other side of the argument, how many people

51
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,360
have paid settlements, how many people have lost their jobs,

52
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,840
how many people have been arrested, But sure keep telling

53
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,199
us it's all over blown and there's nothing to see here.

54
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,840
I want you to take note of all the people

55
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:06,120
doing that that way, later on down the road, we

56
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:08,240
can give them the kind of ball breaking that they

57
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,879
deserve for being so wrong when it comes to this story.

58
00:03:13,719 --> 00:03:15,719
And you know what, a lot of those people that

59
00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:19,800
are Epstein denihilists. I think the reason that they're acting

60
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,039
so contrarian is because they missed it. They had a

61
00:03:24,039 --> 00:03:26,000
blind spot to the story, and now they want to

62
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:28,639
play it down because they weren't there from the jump,

63
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,080
so of course, since they missed it, it really can't

64
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,560
be that big of a story, and that leads to

65
00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:37,680
them trying to demean it, and of course that always

66
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,159
ends up with them attacking the survivors. But these institutions,

67
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:44,960
these lawsuits, tell us a whole different story, don't they

68
00:03:45,639 --> 00:03:50,000
headlined Larry Summers to resign as Harvard University professor amid

69
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,759
Epstein fallout. This article was authored by Daniel Arkin. Larry Summers,

70
00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:01,039
the former Treasury Secretary and noted economist, announced Wednesday he

71
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,479
plans to resign from his role as a tenured professor

72
00:04:04,719 --> 00:04:08,319
at Harvard University, a move that comes amid growing scrutiny

73
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:12,840
of his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Mind you,

74
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:16,639
he's tenured, so you got to think that he's facing

75
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:19,920
a lot of pressure to make this move. He doesn't

76
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:23,279
have to. As a tenured professor, you have a lot

77
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,160
of room to do whatever you want. But he understands

78
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:29,240
that this is a bad look and there's no way

79
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,600
to defend it, so he's going to slink away. Unfortunately,

80
00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:36,360
the people that defend him and people like him, They

81
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,079
don't have that much humility. Imagine being bereft of humility

82
00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:46,000
to a level that you surpass. Larry Summers, I have

83
00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:49,680
made the difficult decision to retire from my Harvard professorship

84
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,839
at the end of this academic year. Summers said in

85
00:04:52,879 --> 00:04:55,639
a statement. I will always be grateful to the thousands

86
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,839
of students and colleagues I have been privileged to teach

87
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,240
and work with coming to Harvard as a graduate student

88
00:05:02,319 --> 00:05:05,759
fifty years ago. Yeah, great, we love it. Good for you, buddy,

89
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,600
you had a nice, storied career. How many of those

90
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,160
years were spent in the company of people like Jeffrey Epstein.

91
00:05:13,319 --> 00:05:15,319
I know not the kind of question he wants to hear,

92
00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:18,759
and far be it from me to reign on his parade.

93
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,800
But here we are, all those years that you were

94
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,279
friends with Epstein, he was actively abusing these girls. He

95
00:05:25,399 --> 00:05:28,600
was actively stealing money from the citizens of the United

96
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,480
States and elsewhere. So yeah, you should step down, and

97
00:05:32,519 --> 00:05:36,199
you should be embarrassed, and anybody defending you, they should

98
00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:39,000
be embarrassed too. But you would have to have some

99
00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:42,120
kind of moral compass for that to happen, And all

100
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,399
that really matters to them? Is engagement? Right? Oh, let's

101
00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:50,600
be contrarian. Let's try and drive some clicks. There gotta

102
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,160
be another side of the story. No, there's not. I'm

103
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,560
sorry to tell you there's not another side to this story. Okay,

104
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,759
there's one side. These scumbags got away with it for

105
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:03,199
all these years, never an investigation, never a real look

106
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:06,319
at what's going on. And now that the bill is due,

107
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:08,879
like I always tell you, none of them want to pay. Well,

108
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,360
guess what. Nobody wants to pay the bill when it

109
00:06:11,439 --> 00:06:14,600
comes in. Sure, had a good time running up that

110
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,279
bill though, right, no problem running the check up. But

111
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,360
now that you got to pay, Oh, you left your

112
00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:23,199
wallet in the car. We should feel sorry for you.

113
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,560
Somebody should pick up the bill, anybody, but you, Well

114
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,199
guess what? Not this time time to reach into that

115
00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:37,680
pocket and pay up. Free of formal responsibility. As president

116
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,560
and a retired professor, I look forward in time to

117
00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:44,759
engaging in research, analysis, and commentary on a range of

118
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,879
global economic issues. He added, Yo, I got bad news

119
00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:51,680
for you, mister Summers. I don't think anybody wants to

120
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,120
hear what you have to say. Nobody wants financial advice

121
00:06:56,639 --> 00:07:03,120
from Jeffrey Epstein's Pale Summers also resigned from his leadership

122
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,680
position as co director of the Masavar Romney Center for

123
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:13,000
Business and Government. Harvard University spokesman Jason Newton confirmed in

124
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,079
an email summers connection to Epstein was long established, but

125
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,040
a cash of emails released by the Justice Department last

126
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,000
year showed the two men were closer than had been

127
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,759
publicly known. Not true, I mean, I guess publicly known,

128
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,959
but we all knew. People who followed the story, you knew,

129
00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:33,839
So all these things that are coming as a shock

130
00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:36,439
to people, this is the stuff we were screaming from

131
00:07:36,439 --> 00:07:40,759
mountaintops back in twenty nineteen, you know, when everybody who

132
00:07:40,759 --> 00:07:43,720
thinks this story is so important now was ignoring it,

133
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,160
calling people like me conspiracy theorists. You know I'm talking

134
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,319
about there's a whole lot of people out there who

135
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,759
are now talking about this story who didn't give one

136
00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:57,639
damn about it when it was happening, but now they

137
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,240
feel like they can score political points or whatever, so

138
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,480
all of a sudden they're some kind of crusader. I

139
00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:05,959
see you too. And there's a whole lot of people

140
00:08:05,959 --> 00:08:09,680
that are talking about this story that really don't care

141
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,040
about justice one way or the other. They care about

142
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,800
scoring points politically, and unfortunately that feeds right into what

143
00:08:16,839 --> 00:08:20,800
these people want. They want confusion, they want chaos, and

144
00:08:20,839 --> 00:08:23,759
they want everybody at each other's throat. So nobody's paying

145
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:29,759
attention to the bullshit they're up to. The two men

146
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,159
communicated as recently as twenty nineteen, more than a decade

147
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,039
after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor.

148
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:41,720
They continue to correspond until July fifth, twenty nineteen, a

149
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:45,799
day before Epstein was arrested and charged with sex trafficking Miners.

150
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:49,559
Summers has been on leave from his teaching duties since

151
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,399
November while Harvard investigates links between faculty members and Epstein,

152
00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:58,000
who died in federal custody in twenty nineteen while awaiting

153
00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:02,480
prosecution on sex trafficking charges. So, in other words, they're

154
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,399
doing their investigation and they probably found everything that we

155
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,200
already know and more, And whoever's in charge over at

156
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,679
Harvard probably went to mister Summers and said, bro, you're done.

157
00:09:14,879 --> 00:09:18,120
That's it. We'll give you a chance to resign. But

158
00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:21,679
besides that, we got you. There's a lot of evidence

159
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,519
here and you were an absolute douche, so you gotta go. Now,

160
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:31,639
that's my guess, right, They got this investigation, the investigation

161
00:09:31,759 --> 00:09:34,559
kicks off, and then all of a sudden, mister tenured

162
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:41,720
professor is just going to resign out of the blue. Okay.

163
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,200
The celebrated economist served as Harvard's president from two thousand

164
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,399
and one to two thousand and six, before he was

165
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:53,559
named a university professor, the school's highest faculty rank. Summers

166
00:09:53,799 --> 00:09:57,519
previously said he planned to retreat from public commitments, including

167
00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:00,360
his position on the board of directors at open AI,

168
00:10:01,039 --> 00:10:04,559
following the House Oversight Committee's release of more than twenty

169
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,519
thousand documents that included his extensive email correspondence with Epstein.

170
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,120
I'm deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain

171
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,159
they have caused, Somers said in the statement November seventeenth.

172
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,039
I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue

173
00:10:21,039 --> 00:10:25,720
communicating with mister Epstein, not just communicating, opening doors for him,

174
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:33,679
providing him with a veneer of respectability, and then Jeffrey

175
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,960
Epstein went on to continue to abuse people. That's a

176
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,200
big deal, And I'm sure if it was your daughter

177
00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:42,519
who was abused, you'd probably feel the same way. In

178
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,000
one set of email, Summers, who has been married to

179
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,480
academic Elisa Knew since two thousand and five, sought Epstein's

180
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,559
advice on his romantic interest in a woman he described

181
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,960
as a mentee. Epstein in turn described himself as a

182
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,159
pretty good wingman for Summers. In another, Summers lamented that

183
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,320
men who had on women may face repercussions in the

184
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,679
modern workplace. Oh god forbid, you can't be a creep

185
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,799
at work. That must be rough. Huh. Imagine having to

186
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,559
keep your hands and your dumb ass comments to yourself

187
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,960
must be tough. Man, hard life, very difficult life for

188
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,879
these guys. The scrutiny on the email records led to

189
00:11:23,879 --> 00:11:27,039
other revelations, including that Summers and new made a brief

190
00:11:27,159 --> 00:11:30,399
visit of less than a day to Epstein's private island

191
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,559
in the Caribbean during their honeymoon in two thousand and five.

192
00:11:33,879 --> 00:11:37,279
According to a statement from Summer spokesman Stephen Goldberg, have

193
00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:39,519
you noticed that everybody says they go to the island

194
00:11:39,639 --> 00:11:42,279
for like an hour. Who the fuck goes to an

195
00:11:42,279 --> 00:11:47,759
island for an hour? You don't even go to the

196
00:11:47,799 --> 00:11:50,200
local pub for an hour. But sure I went to

197
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,480
a whole ass island for one hour, and then I

198
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,159
was back on my boat like a good little boy.

199
00:11:56,279 --> 00:12:02,320
If you believe that you're dumb as fuck. It would

200
00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:04,679
not have been easy for Harvard d Al Summers, who

201
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,279
was President Bill Clinton's Treasury secretary and a top economic

202
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,840
advisor to President Barack Obama. Somemmrs. Tenured position effectively gave

203
00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:17,360
them a form of a permanent employment in academia. And folks,

204
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,720
this is why you got to get out of that

205
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:23,720
right left mentality. It's both sides. Both sides were corrupt here.

206
00:12:23,919 --> 00:12:27,039
Both sides protected Epstein, but neither side wants to take

207
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,679
responsibility for the fact that they've been right in the

208
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,679
middle of it from the beginning. So of course that

209
00:12:32,799 --> 00:12:36,039
leads to more distrust and more people thinking that it's

210
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:41,440
politically motivated when it's obviously not. Look, I can't control

211
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,360
anybody else right, but here on this podcast, I assure

212
00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:47,480
you every single one of these dirty, rotten pieces of

213
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,759
garbage who get caught up in this, they're on the clock.

214
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,559
I don't care what your politics are, I don't care

215
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,080
what you look like. I don't care. We're from the

216
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,320
same city, we have the same friends. I don't give

217
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,799
a flying buck, homie. Why were you with Jeffrey Epstein

218
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,200
after you knew he was diddling kids? Why didn't you

219
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,320
go to the police and talk to them and tell

220
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,320
them what you know? So now that you didn't do

221
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,120
any of that and we had to catch you red handed,

222
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,720
I don't want to hear your excuses. I don't want

223
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,039
to hear why, I don't want to hear how it happened,

224
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,159
and I certainly don't want to hear sorry, because that

225
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,960
ship sailed a long fucking time ago. Harvard's provist office

226
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,919
says on its web page that professor's can be removed

227
00:13:29,159 --> 00:13:32,720
only for grave misconduct or neglect of duty by the

228
00:13:32,759 --> 00:13:36,919
Harvard Corporation, the school's highest governing body. It was not

229
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,320
clear whether Summer's conduct meant that standard. Oh it did

230
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:44,120
they let him say face? That's what this is. This

231
00:13:44,279 --> 00:13:49,679
is the corporate way of letting people say face. The

232
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,240
release of the emails royaled Harvard in interviews last year

233
00:13:53,279 --> 00:13:56,840
with NBC News and Harvard's student run newspaper, The Crimson,

234
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,919
a group of faculty members and students to cried summers

235
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,519
correspondence with Epstein. Epstein is no longer alive, but his

236
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,320
legacy is alive and well, and his friends are still

237
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:13,159
in high places, Harvard undergraduate student Lola Jay d Assentis

238
00:14:13,159 --> 00:14:17,759
told NBC News. In recent months, Harvard faced mounting pressure

239
00:14:17,799 --> 00:14:21,720
to cut ties with Summers, including from Senator Elizabeth Warren,

240
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,840
who once taught at Harvard. Boy, they have all the

241
00:14:24,919 --> 00:14:29,039
geniuses teach there. Huh. Imagine sending your kid to Harvard

242
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,240
for all those fazzules, and you know that all these

243
00:14:32,279 --> 00:14:34,960
idiots are the teachers there, might as well send them

244
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,080
to community college. Right If he had so little ability

245
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,720
to distance himself from Jeffrey Epstein, even after all that

246
00:14:41,799 --> 00:14:45,799
was publicly known about Epstein's sex offenses involving underage girls,

247
00:14:46,279 --> 00:14:51,480
then Summers cannot be trusted to advise our nation's politicians, policymakers,

248
00:14:51,639 --> 00:14:55,440
and institutions, or teach a generation of students at Harvard

249
00:14:55,759 --> 00:15:02,039
or anywhere else, Warren said last year. Summer's resignation closes

250
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,960
a chapter on his relationship with an educational institution where

251
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,240
he received his PhD in economics in nineteen eighty two.

252
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,919
The following year, when Summers was just twenty eight, he

253
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,360
became one of the university's youngest ever tenured professors. Look,

254
00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:21,639
I'm sure that Larry Summers is a sharp guy. Sure's

255
00:15:21,639 --> 00:15:26,720
a smarty when it comes to book stuff. Sure is

256
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:32,000
a dumbass when it comes to life decisions. Summer's tenure

257
00:15:32,039 --> 00:15:35,440
at the top of Harvard was often clouded by controversy.

258
00:15:35,919 --> 00:15:39,440
He faced fierce controversy and pushback after giving remarks in

259
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,200
two thousand and five at a closed door economic conference

260
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:46,639
speculating that women may lack an intrinsic aptitude for science

261
00:15:46,799 --> 00:15:50,799
and engineering. This guy loved women, though. Just let him

262
00:15:50,799 --> 00:15:55,240
tell you. Nothing to see here. Women weren't just a

263
00:15:55,240 --> 00:16:00,559
commodity to him. Oh wait, they were, got it. He

264
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,519
apologized and insisted his remarks had been misconstrued. The noise

265
00:16:05,679 --> 00:16:09,159
ultimately became too intense to surmount. He resigned from the

266
00:16:09,159 --> 00:16:13,840
presidency in February of two thousand and six. Four months later,

267
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,159
Summers was appointed to the faculty again as a university professor,

268
00:16:20,039 --> 00:16:23,639
a distinction afforded to only a handful of luminaries. He

269
00:16:23,639 --> 00:16:26,559
held that title for nearly twenty years. Well, guess what

270
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,360
not anymore? And I don't care for one minute. I

271
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,200
don't feel bad. I don't have any empathy for him,

272
00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:36,879
and I don't care about his reputation. Why should I

273
00:16:36,919 --> 00:16:40,320
care about his reputation if he doesn't, because if he

274
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,200
cared about his reputation, well, he wouldn't have been breaking

275
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,919
bread with Jeffrey Epstein. So if Larry Summers is looking

276
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,279
for somebody to blame, my advice is take a look

277
00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:57,279
in the mirror. All the information that goes with this

278
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,320
episode can be found in the description Fox
