Host: Bobby Capucci
Date: April 8, 2026

Episode Overview

In this episode, Bobby Capucci discusses the upcoming appearance of Bill Gates before the House Oversight Committee in relation to the committee’s ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s network. Capucci critiques the motives and effectiveness of the committee, questions Gates’ transparency, and revisits the broader lack of accountability in the case’s aftermath. Using a recent CBS News article as a basis, Capucci provides analysis, commentary, and context, all woven together with his trademark direct and sardonic style.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Bill Gates Set to Testify Before Congress – What’s at Stake?

[01:30] Capucci introduces the day’s main topic: Bill Gates has voluntarily agreed to appear before the House Oversight Committee for a transcribed interview regarding his connections to Jeffrey Epstein.
The committee had previously discussed bringing Gates in, but he is coming willingly, without a subpoena.

“Of course Bill Gates, he decided that he's going to go willingly. You don't need to send me a subpoena. I have enough problems as it is. I'll just come willingly and I'll lie to you, that's all. Not like anybody's going to go to prison. Not like anyone's going to be held accountable if and when they perjure themselves.”

Skepticism About Congressional Committee Intentions

Capucci expresses deep skepticism over the committee’s actual desire for justice, suggesting the investigation is more theater than substance.
Criticizes both political parties, but specifically notes how committee actions often seem designed to protect powerful figures.

“...it's a good idea to bring him in, but as you know, I have a lot of doubts about how committed this committee is to finding justice. Because it seems to me that they're way more interested in protecting Donald Trump, which is wild considering all of this is a self-inflicted wound.”

Gates’ Relationship With Epstein – Lies and Omissions

Capucci notes that Gates has repeatedly downplayed or hidden the extent of his relationship with Epstein, posing the central question: Why?
Delves into timeline inconsistencies, referencing public admissions by Gates and leaked communications.

“What I'm saying is Bill Gates has lied to us about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein for all these years. And once again, the question becomes, why? What are you hiding? If it was just business… that would be one thing, right? But that's not what it was.”
— Bobby Capucci [04:00]

Details Gates’ claims about only knowing Epstein between 2011 and 2014, but then references continued communication through 2017, including text messages regarding charitable vehicles that look suspiciously like money-laundering schemes.
Suggests Gates’ claims don’t line up with documented evidence, citing reports from the Wall Street Journal and CBS News.

Wild Allegations and Media Reports

Recaps Epstein’s emails containing unverified allegations that Gates had extramarital affairs with Russian women and attempted to sneak antibiotics to his then-wife, Melinda Gates.
Gates’ team categorically denies these claims, but Capucci maintains that Gates’ denials aren’t credible given the surrounding context.

“It's one thing to get yourself a penicillin shot after having a questionable partner. It's a whole ass other thing to try and sneak some of the antibiotics to your wife. So she doesn't know what kind of diabolical shit is that? And imagine being married to somebody like that.”
— Bobby Capucci [06:00]

Points out the strangeness of Gates’ only publicized affairs being with Russian women linked to Epstein, and questions the plausibility of this being mere coincidence.

Lack of Accountability for Powerful Figures

Capucci highlights that Gates is merely the latest in a line of powerful people who have sat for depositions with the committee (including Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Les Wexner, and Ghislaine Maxwell), yet no one has been held accountable.
Expresses frustration at the performative aspect of these hearings.

“So I expect Bill Gates to get up there and just tell a bunch of lies just like everybody else, and Congress will just accept it and move on like they always do, because they just don't care. This is not about justice. It's not about getting to the bottom of what happened.”
— Bobby Capucci [10:00]

Critique of Congressional Strategy

Capucci accuses the committee of wanting to “put a bow on it and call it done,” ignoring the public’s desire for real accountability.
Argues the entire inquiry is just to pacify outrage instead of digging for truth—no one is ever prosecuted for perjury or any substantive offense.

Open Questions and Audience Engagement

Capucci ends by challenging the audience to reflect:
- Will Gates be truthful?
- If not, will anything come of it?
Invites listeners to share their thoughts via email.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

On Gates going willingly:
“You don't need to send me a subpoena. I have enough problems as it is. I'll just come willingly and I'll lie to you, that's all.”
— [02:30]
On the committee’s lack of resolve:
“This whole situation for the Trump administration when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein is self inflicted. They have nobody to blame but themselves and they can lash out all they want and call people traitors and whatever sort of rhetoric they want to use, but the truth is they caused this issue themselves.”
— [02:15]
On the suspicious timeline:
“Text messages from 2017 released by congressional investigators in November, show Epstein communicating with an apparent advisor to Gates... But I thought it was 2014. Isn't that what Billy Boy Malaria? Gates told us.”
— [08:30]
On performative justice:
“They knew they had to do something. They have to throw some red meat to people. So they bring in all these people to sit down for these depositions, and nothing ever comes of it. Nobody's ever held accountable.”

Summary for New Listeners

My name's Mackenzie and I started a GoFundMe for the adoptive mother of a non verbal autistic child. The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic child. So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills. So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis. And we raised about 10, $10,000 within just a couple of months. I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like really being very clear about what we needed, we had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation that this family was struggling with.

What's up everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. We have a relatively slow day today when it comes to Epstein related news. So today we're going to talk about a couple of articles and then we're going to focus on that deposition given by the warden who was responsible for Jeffrey Epstein when Jeffrey Epstein met his demise. But before we get there, we're going to talk a little bit about Bill Gates and how he is set now to appear before the House Oversight Committee to answer questions about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Now that's all fine and well and it's a good idea to bring him in, but as you know, I have a lot of doubts about how committed he this committee is to finding justice. Because it seems to me that they're way more interested in protecting Donald Trump, which is wild considering all of this is a self inflicted wound. If Donald Trump would have just did what he said he was going to do when he was on the campaign trail, this would have been a whole last different conversation. But unfortunately, we know now that that that was all bs, just more manure that spread during the campaign. Oh yeah, vote for me, I'll do this, that, and the other thing comes in, doesn't do this, that or the other thing, in fact comes in and does a bunch of shit that he said he wasn't going to do, you know, like go to war. So this whole situation for the Trump administration when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein is self inflicted. They have nobody to blame but themselves and they can lash out all they want and call people traitors and whatever sort of rhetoric they want to use, but the truth is they caused this issue themselves. And when they found themselves in a hole, they just kept digging. And as they continued to dig that cover up, continue to expand. And at this point that's all that they can do, right? Continue to expand the COVID up. Because the second there's one crack, the second one person breaks ranks or the second somebody comes forward, it's over. And I certainly expect that to happen at some point when I have no idea, but at some point something's gotta give. Today's article is from CBS News and the headline, bill Gates to appear before a House Oversight Committee as part of Epstein Probe. This article was authored by Patrick McGuire and Graham Cates. Bill Gates will appear before the House Oversight Committee for a transcribed interview as part of the panel's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, according to a source familiar with the plans. Now that's always been something that the committee was talking about, getting Bill Gates up there to talk about Epstein, and of course Bill Gates, he decided that he's going to go willingly. You don't need to send me a subpoena. I have enough problems as it is. I'll just come willingly and I'll lie to you, that's all. Not like anybody's going to go to prison. Not like anyone's going to be held accountable if and when they perjure themselves. I mean, we've seen how many people get up there and lie. So Bill Gates has to be feeling pretty good, pretty confident, right? Well, all these other people got up here and bullshitted. I'm sure I can do the same thing. And that's exactly what he's going to do. I had no idea I was conned. Jeffrey Epstein tried to blackmail me. He was the most devious, smartest, slickest dude in the history of the world. And me, Bill Gates, I'm just so stupid that I had no idea that I was being dog walked. I had no idea what Jeffrey Epstein really was. No idea whatsoever. Meanwhile, the evidence points to something completely different. And to be clear, I'm not saying that Bill Gates was sitting around in Epstein's townhouse abusing these girls with them on a daily basis. In fact, I'm not even saying that Bill Gates was abusing anybody. What I'm saying is Bill Gates has lied to us about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein for all these years. And once again, the question becomes, why? What are you hiding? Because if it was just business, if it was just, you know, a meeting here, a little bit of lunch there, that would be one thing, right? But that's not what it was. We had Epstein hooking him up with bridge players and, you know, Russian this and that, the whole thing. And you mean to tell me that a guy like Bill Gates didn't do oppo research on Jeffrey Epstein to find out who he was? Mr. Computer Guy himself, Bill Gates, huh? That seems like a pretty big stretch, if you're asking me. A guy like that's not going to walk into any kind of meeting blind, not just going to show up and be like, ah, you know, I had no idea I was meeting with IDI Amin. But now that you're in the room, I mean, that's the kind of bullshit he wants us to believe. But unfortunately for Bill Gates, I don't think anybody's buying it. The Microsoft co founder is scheduled for questioning on June 10, the source said. A spokesperson for Gates said he welcomes the opportunity to appear before the committee. While he never witnessed or participated in any of Epstein's illegal conduct, he's looking forward to answering all the committee's questions to support their important work, the spokesperson said. Oh, please, save it. Why didn't you come forward earlier? Why did you wait for this to become a gigantic thing? You could have come forward in 2019 after Epstein was arrested, but you chose to hide because you thought you were going to be protected just like the rest of these people. And I'm tired of it. I'm not giving any of them a pass. Representative James Comer of Kentucky, the panel's Republican chairman, wrote to Gates on March 3rd requesting that he appear for the interview. I'm surprised you didn't just ask him at lunch or whatever what you think. Comer's not friendly with Bill Gates. Due to public reporting, documents released by the Department of Justice and documents obtained by the committee, the committee believes you have information that will assist in its investigation, Colmer wrote at the time. Gates, who is one of the world's wealthiest people, apologized in February to the staff of his philanthropic Gates foundation for his ties to Epstein. He said that their relationship was lasted from 2011 through 2014. So he met him after he was a child molester, right after he was already a sexual offender, and then stayed friends with him through 2014. But my guess is longer than that. That's what he says, that's what he'll own up to. But do you think that's the whole truth? In July of 2013, Epstein sent himself a pair of emails containing unverified allegations that Gates had extramarital sex with Russian girls that resulted in a sexually transmitted infection requiring antibiotic treatment. In one email, Epstein claimed Gates also sought to surreptitiously give antibiotics to his then wife, Melinda Gates. That is some wild yo. It's one thing to get yourself a penicillin shot after having a questionable partner. It's a whole ass other thing to try and sneak some of the antibiotics to your wife. So. So she doesn't know what kind of diabolical shit is that? And imagine being married to somebody like that. Dude's going out nailing Russian bridge players and shit with his buddy Jeffrey Epstein, then comes home with a dripping wiener and hops into bed with you. Helluva guy, that Bill Gates. And man, I can't wait to hear him preach to us a little bit more from atop that ivory tower that he loves to stand upon. A spokesperson for Gates told CBS News in January that the claims are absolutely absurd and completely false. The only thing that these documents demonstrate is Epstein's frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths that he would go to entrap into fame. Oh yeah, nice try, but no, sorry, nobody's buying it. The Wall Street Journal reported in February that at the same employee town hall where Gates apologized to staff, he admitted that he did have affairs. One with a Russian bridge player who he met at bridge events and one with a Russian nuclear physicist who I met through business activities. Just happens to be that they're both Russian. Right? And Epstein had nothing to do with any of it. Well, that's weird. What? No women in America for Bill Gates. How about Canada or Mexico? Or maybe Italy? Or how about, I dunno, Thailand just happens to be Russia? Huh. Okay, I guess it's just another coincidence in the land of coincidences. Later emails and text messages show Epstein sought to rekindle his friendship with Gates and secure an investment. Epstein wanted to pitch Gates on a donor advised fund that a tax deductible charitable vehicle that Epstein wanted to operate. But it never materialized. Translation? A new Money laundering vehicle. A new way to hide money from the government and from people looking to get taxes on it. Text messages from 2017 released by congressional investigators in November, show Epstein communicating with an apparent advisor to Gates about the proposal. 2017. But I thought it was 2014. Isn't that what Billy Boy Malaria? Gates told us. God, these people are so disgusting. And they're all liars, the whole lot of them. The advisor said that Gates was interested in the idea, but said Melinda Gates didn't want him to communicate with Epstein. The 2 divorced in 2021. He wants to talk to you, but his wife won't let him, the advisor said in a series of texts. A minute later, the advisor said of Gates, he loves you. He says hi, and he feels bad about the donor advised fund. By the way, he thought, great idea, but wife wouldn't allow. So Melinda Gates turns out to be the hero here, huh? She knew what was up. She knew exactly the kind of piece of that Jeffrey Epstein was, and she was trying to clue her dude into it, but he wasn't hearing her. He had other ideas, right? Thoughts of Russian bridge players dancing through his head. Gates is the latest in a procession of famous and powerful figures to sit for depositions before the Oversight Committee's Epstein investigators. Others who have appeared include former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, billionaire Les Wexner, and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. The committee has also requested interviews with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, former White House counsel Katherine Ruemler, and Doug Band, Bill Clinton's longtime aid. Lutnick is scheduled to appear on May 6. So I expect Bill Gates to get up there and just tell a bunch of lies just like everybody else, and Congress will just accept it and move on like they always do, because they just don't care. This is not about justice. It's not about getting to the bottom of what happened. The whole idea of this committee was to put a bow on it and call it done. But I think that they've gravely miscalculated just how upset the American people are about this issue, and especially about being told to move on. So the committee, they knew they had to do something. They have to throw some red meat to people. So they bring in all these people to sit down for these depositions, and nothing ever comes of it. Nobody's ever held accountable. Nobody's ever charged with perjury for lying, and they just keep it moving. And then they can say, look, we did our best. There's nothing to see here. There's nobody to investigate. This was all just a lone predator. Sure, he was disgusting and some people were friendly with him, but like Todd Blanche says, not illegal to party with Jeffrey Epstein. Right? I mean, that's what Todd Blanche told us, and that's the narrative that they're going to stick with. So what do you folks think? Do you think that Bill Gates is going to answer truthfully and honestly? And if he doesn't, do you think that anything will come of it? Shoot me some emails and let me know.
