What's up, everyone? And welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. Even after Jeffrey Epstein was convicted and was a registered sex offender, he still had multiple young ladies visiting him on a daily basis. Not only that, while he was incarcerated or should have been incarcerated, when he was doing his work work release, if you will, he had women visiting him while he was supposed to be under the supervision of the deputies. Now, we've went over this before, and nobody should be shocked that all of the paperwork from Epstein's time of being paroled has gone missing, just like everything else in this case. And then they want to call everybody else a conspiracy theorist. It's some of the weirdest I have ever seen in my life. Imagine being that filled with cognitive dissonance that you don't even see the writing that's right in front of you on the wall. Because for a very long time, a lot of people chose to ignore what was right in front of their face. And now that these details are getting some public play, people are shocked by what they're learning. And the rest of us are shaking our heads in disgust, wondering what took so long. Today's article is from the Daily Mail. Headline, exclusive. Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein continued to entertain up to seven young girls a day and was so obsessed with their teeth, he had a dentist chair at his mansion and forced them to go to an orthodontist, his private diaries reveal. So just like the old days when you had some kind of lord or whatever show up to the slaver's market, he'd have the girls open their teeth like they were a horse. Oh, let me give you a full inspection. Let me make sure your teeth are good. All of it's so vile to me. The way this man objectified everybody around him. Every woman around him is just so disgusting. And the fact that none of these dudes that were around him ever slapped him in that stupid ass smug face is just beyond me. This article was authored by Daniel bates and credit to Daniel bates. He stayed on this story for quite some time and he's produced some really good stuff here. So a tip of the cap to Daniel and to the work that he's done as far as exposing these disgusting pieces of Jeffrey Epstein continued meeting dozens of young women after his sex crimes conviction. With up to seven girls visiting him in a single day. His private calendars reveal seven girls a day. Huh? And people think I'm playing when I say there are thousands, literally thousands of girls who were abused by these people. If he was roping in seven a day, and that was when he was under scrutiny, what do you think he was doing leading up to it? What do you think he was doing in places like New Mexico that has never even been discussed? So he was doing this with kids in every other place he lived, but not new Mexico. He didn't have some kind of scam set up in New Mexico where he would get these girls to come via a ponzi scheme? Has that ever even been looked into? Of course it hasn't. And that's because New Mexico said from early on that they're not initiating a state run investigation. They're gonna punt to the feds and let the feds handle it because that's worked out so well in the past. And the teeth obsessed pedophile who had a dentist chair in his Florida home and another on his Caribbean island, often sent women to a Manhattan orthodontist. The documents show. The revelations are part of a tranche of documents handed to the government of the u. S. Virgin islands as part of its investigation into his sex trafficking operation. And again, look, the u. S. Virgin Islands, if they did anything here, at the very least they're forcing some of this stuff to come to light. But they should be doing more and they should have done more to enforce their own laws on that island. The documents show that despite being a registered sex offender who had just come out of a 13 month jail sentence, the pedophile had appointments at all hours of the day. Of course he did. This guy had all the money in the world. Stolen money. But all the money in the world. And what's the rule in high society? That's right. You can't be broke. Everything else is forgivable. Do you really think that these guys wouldn't be running around with Roman Polanski if he came back to America? You don't think Woody Allen would have him over for some tea? And then what they would say is, well, his victim came out and said that everything was okay. Well, breaking news, the law says that what he did is not okay. But these rat faced bastards, they don't give a damn about any of that. All they care about is what you're bringing to the table. On one day alone, Epstein had three sets of meetings with two young women, followed by a final one at 7:30pm with a lone female reaching a total of seven girls in five hours. Seven girls in five hours. So we know the dude wasn't a looker. We know that he's not some kind of smooth talker. It was all about money. And he knew that the vehicle he needed to get where he was going was going to cost a bunch of dough. And the only way to do that was, was to get in bed with all of these dudes in the financial sector. And he masterfully weaved his web and was able to finagle his way into some of the most powerful places in the whole entire world. And that's not hyperbole. We're talking about Apollo Global, we're talking about L Brands, we're talking about hanging out with George Mitchell, Bill Richardson, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Ahud, Barack. The list goes on and on. Among the names in the calendars were numerous Russians, models, and a woman who later sued his estate saying he took her virginity and forced her into a sham marriage to keep one of his associates in the country. So this scumbag and his associates, Darren Endyke, Richard Khan and the rest of them, they were all working on these sham marriages so that girls who were abused could stay in the country and they could stay here legally while without any kind of immigration problem. And that was all part of their hustle. They had this whole entire thing set up, this whole nexus where every single moving part is working in cohesion with the other. And they had it like a well oiled machine. And it's easy to do that when you have friends like the ones that Jeffrey Epstein had. While the exact nature of the appointments was unclear, the way the women were described, their first name only followed by a phone number, was identical to how his victims were listed in the section of his black book of contacts titled Massage. And for those of you who are new to the story, remember, massage in Epstein's world is code word for sex. So anytime one of these rat faced uses that terminology, you know what they're talking about. The disturbing picture emerges from the hundreds of pages of documents, of emails and diaries from the estate of Epstein who hanged himself while awaiting trial for sex trafficking in 2019. Allegedly, DailyMail.com obtained the documents that give an unprecedented insight into Epstein's network of influence and contacts. But they also strongly suggest that Epstein's conviction in 2008 for soliciting a minor for prostitution, part of a sweetheart plea deal, did nothing to stop his offending. Well, why would it? A slap on the wrist doesn't stop somebody from offending. And as I've said a million times, people who have a mind like egg dick, they don't stop. They go for the rest of their lives, their whole lives, they molest people. There's no periods of cooling down, none of it. These people are wired wrong. And when you're out here molesting people, raping people and all of the rest of it, your ass belongs behind bars for a very, very long time. And I don't even want to have a discussion about it. Who the wants to live in a society with a bunch of diddlers? The diaries feature names of young women flying in from foreign countries with flight numbers and times they will land. Epstein met women from 8am until late into the evening and even squeezed them in before and after world famous guests arrived at at his New York mansion. One day, Epstein had a tentative 8:30am appointment with a Swedish model, followed by another at 9:30am with two women at an address in Manhattan. At 2pm he had another appointment followed by a fourth at 4pm on the same day. Another example of Epstein's busy scheduling was a day that featured seven women over a five hour period. The appointment started at 3pm with two girls, followed by another two at 5:15pm, a third pair at 6:15pm and the final meeting at 7:30. Is this guy for real? You really need that many girls coming over to your house, buddy? I mean, come on, get a hobby. During the trial of Glenn Maxwell, Epstein's madam, the court heard from one of his victims that he had to have sex three times a day. One of those listed as having an appointment with Epstein filed a lawsuit against his estate under the pseudonym Caitlin Doe. She said that Epstein abused her for years, starting when she was 17. He forced her to marry a foreign national and recruiter to Keep her in the US to work for him. In exchange, Caitlin Doe was told she would get $20,000 for a medical procedure that she needed. Another victim named in the calendars sued under the name Priscilla Doe and said that Epstein took her virginity despite her telling him sex before marriage was against her religion. Her lawsuit claims. And you know what's so sad? I guarantee you that Priscilla Doe, who lost her virginity to Jeffrey Epstein, didn't get $105 million like the Virgin Islands. Who do you think deserves it more? A girl who lost her virginity to a rapist or the US Virgin Islands who's probably going to waste the money on who the knows, right? When's the last time the government did the right thing with anybody's money, never mind in a place like the US Virgin Islands. Also listed as meeting Epstein was Shelly Lewis, a British woman who once dated him. In a diary entry, she is described as bringing a friend along. Yeah, Shelly Lewis, AKA Chocolate Sauce. Another one of Epstein's behind the scenes female enablers, or confidants, whatever you want to call them. The same young woman later seen heading out for an evening with Epstein and nine other young women, most of whom are known associates of Epstein. Another woman in the logs is Epstein's last known girlfriend, Belarusian Karina Shuliak, who was also a licensed dentist. She was also the last person allegedly who talked to Jeffrey Epstein before he died. And according to her anyway, Epstein was not suicidal, not somebody who was on the verge of killing themselves. And her story tracks with what we have heard from multiple other people. Sources have previously told Deliml.com that Epstein was obsessed with his victims having good teeth and even had a dentist chair installed at his mansion in Palm beach and another ship to his private island in the Caribbean. The calendars show that some of the young girls who have appointments with them were sent to Manhattan orthodontist apparently to have their teeth fixed. The diaries also make clear who was in Epstein's inner circle from around 2010 to 2015, the period the documents cover. The majority of the daily schedules were emailed to Epstein by his former assistant Leslie Grof, who was named as an unindicted co conspirator and in his 2008 plea deal. This lady really has some kind of magical horseshoe that's embedded inside of her body. How she has avoided prosecution and indictment here is absolutely amazing to me. Her name is all over these documents. Goff's lawyer told DailyMail.com she never suspected Epstein was engaged in illegal activity. Nah, nothing to see here. I'M there every single day. I'm on the plane, I'm hanging out. I saw nothing. I know nothing. It's amazing what a few hundred thousand or a million dollars in payoffs will do. Over the course of Ms. Groff's employment with Mr. Epstein, she made hundreds of appointments every day for him. For a wide range of individuals, including professors, politicians, actors and their spouses, it was simply not her function to ask the reason for any appointment. The attorney said. And they always say that, right? Oh, he had doctors at his house, he had scientists, he had politicians. As if those people aren't sick bastards as well. Hey everybody. Lady luck here. And we're celebrating America's 250th birthday. Now, all summer long, I'm going to be celebrating by playing on spinquest.com which is an American owned social casino.

it's amazing when they try and use that as some kind of alibi. Oh, I was there with so and so. Oh, so what you're telling me is so and so's a sick bastard too? Oh, okay. That's nice. Thanks for outing your boy. Not surprisingly, Ms. Groff was notified by law enforcement well over a year ago that she would not be charged with any wrongdoing in connection with with her employment with Mr. Epstein. And that right there is all you need to know about this investigation. Remember all the BS that the SDNY said about how that's still an open investigation and we're looking at other people? Yeah, okay, sure. Whenever you get done calling everybody a terrorist, maybe you can get around to arresting some of Jeffrey Epstein's pals. What do you think, guys? Others were routinely copied on the emails, including Susan Hamblin, a South African woman who has been seen coming and going for me. Epstein's New York townhouse Svetlana Posadaeva was emailed many of the daily schedules, as was Julia Stepanova, also known as Julia Cuomo. Both Epstein associates also copied was Jennifer Kalin, who her lawyers claim was forced to marry Schuliac with under orders from Epstein. And in New York City's marriage records state that the two married in October of 2013, and that was all part of the sham marriage scam that they were running. All of that stuff was facilitated by Indyke and Khan as well. Yet where's the indictments? Not even a deposition of those dudes. Among the emails that were included in the documents is correspondence between Epstein and his goddaughter Selena Dubin, the daughter of Eva Dubin, a former Miss Sweden who once dated the pedophile and who is now married to financier Glenn Dubin. Reports have claimed that Epstein was so taken with Selena that he wanted to marry her in 2014 when she was 19. In 2012, when Selena was around 17, she emailed Epstein asking for advice about a career in modeling, showing no hint of suspicion about him. Imagine your parents don't even tell you, look, this guy's a molester. Go ahead and keep emailing Uncle Jeffy. And in fact, when he comes over, go sit on his lap. She began her email by saying, hey, Unk. How's Paris? Selena went on. Any cool stories? First of all, I wanted to tell you I submitted my application to Harvard on Monday. Also, do you know the status with those modeling jobs that I was possibly going to get? Should I go for casting, maybe? I was thinking the best companies to aim for are Tommy Hilfiger, Abercrombie, American Eagle, etc. The young, casual, very American brands. Well, should have no problem over at Abercrombie, huh? Epstein replied that he would arrange things for her and asked, we have to decide on what times you were free. Selena replied, I'm really free most weekends, and once I get into college, I'll be free all the time. Epstein said that he would go ask, but insisted she tell him when she was free. Despite Epstein being a registered sex offender, Eva Dubin was so comfortable with him around her daughter that she said in 2009 to his parole officer that she could not ask for a better friend or godfather to my children. The Dubins have called any claims they took part in Epstein's abuse demonstrably false. Well, you've been directly fingered Glenn Dubin as somebody who abused girls. What about that? What do you have to say about that? Any big statement or just more of the oh, we didn't do anything and that's the end of it because that doesn't work at this point. Everybody who has been wrapped up with this dude who tries to give those kinds of denials, I automatically default to think that there's more there. And if Glenn Dubin is so gung ho about how innocent he is, why doesn't he sue Virginia Roberts who pointed a finger at him and said, look, this guy abused me. Until he does that, I can't take a word this dude says seriously. And as far as the scheduling, this is all stuff we knew. The dentist chair, Shuliac chocolate sauce, and all of the rest of the goon squad that was hanging out with him. And in the coming days, as this trial continues to make its way through the legal system, the I have no doubt that more bombshells are on the way. Alright folks, that's going to do it for this one. All of the information that goes with the episode can be found in the description box. What's up everyone? And welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to continue talking about the schedule that Wall Street Journal has unearthed. And in today's edition of who's a Douchebag? We'll be talking about Leon Black, Bill Gates, and Thomas Pritzker. So enough of my whinging. Let's just dive right into this article from the Wall Street Journal and let's see what they cooked up. Headline Bill Gates, Leon Black, Thomas Pritzker One Day in the Life of Jeffrey Epstein. This article was authored by Khadija Safdar, David Benoit and Kara Dapana. On Monday, September 8, 2014, Jeffrey Epstein had a full calendar. He was scheduled to meet that day with Bill Gates, Thomas Pritzker, Leon Black and Mortimer Zuckerman, four of the richest men in the country. According to schedules and emails reviewed by the Wall Street Journal. It's like Dickhead of the Month club over here, a bunch of crusty ass old ass geezers over here living out their perverted fantasies over at their buddy Epstein's house. Let's just call them what they are. Epstein also planned meetings that day with a former top White House lawyer, a college president, and a philanthropic adviser. Three of the dozens of meetings the Journal reported he had with each of them. And then here in the article, it gives you a graphic about his meetings and the schedule. So Epstein's meeting scheduled for September 8, 2014 meeting start 10am Jeffrey Epstein, Thomas Pritzker Bill Gates 11:30am Leon Black 2pm Mortimer Zuckerman 3pm Katherine Ruemler 4:30 Ramsey El Coley 5pm Leon Botstein 6pm Barnaby Marsh Barnaby Marsh Tell me that you're part of a country club without telling me you you're part of a country club. If your mom and dad name you Barnaby, chances are you're wearing some deck shoes, rolling around with a dude named Biff, and you're on the golf team. And I think it's interesting when you look at the meeting itself or the meetings, I should say that Leon Black had the most amount of time carved out to sit down with Jeffrey Epstein, once again showing you just how close Jeffrey Epstein and leon black were. Six years earlier, in 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting and procuring a minor for prostitution, and he subsequently registered as a sex offender. He was arrested again in 2019 on sex trafficking charges and died that year in jail awaiting trial. Died that year in jail? You mean either killed himself or was killed? Mr. Gates, the CO founder of Microsoft, has said that they discussed philanthropy and and it was a mistake to meet with Epstein. Mr. Black, a CO founder of Apollo Global Management who has said previously he met for tax and estate advice, declined to comment. The other two men haven't previously discussed their meetings with Epstein and didn't respond to requests for comment. Mr. Pritzker is chairman of the Hyatt Hotels and Mr. Zuckerman is a real estate investor and media owner. And folks, just take a look at where these people are throwing their money. Look at how much money all of these scumbags are throwing into political races. And again, do you think they're just doing that out of the kindness of their heart? These scumbags that we're talking about, they don't even have hearts. That Monday featured appointments at two luxury hotels in Midtown Manhattan, the Park Hyatt and Four Seasons. Epstein was also scheduled to host several visitors and at his sprawling townhouse near Central Park. What follows is a breakdown of Epstein's agenda that day, offering a glimpse of the many connections he made with wealthy and prominent people. The Journal couldn't verify whether every schedule meeting took place 10am Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Gates and Thomas Pritzker, Epstein's driver, picked him up in the morning and brought him to the Microsoft Mogul and Hyatt Hotel Air at the Park Hyatt Hotel near Central Park. Epstein had met with each of them before. In 2011, Epstein was discussing multi billion dollar charitable funds with JPMorgan Chase executives and wrote in emails to them that he could involve Mr. Gates and Mr. Pritzker. On this day, Mr. Gates was scheduled to spend several hours with Epstein, accompanying him to various meetings. Mr. Gates runs with his ex wife one of the world's biggest philanthropies. And I always love that. Right? One of the biggest philanthropies in the world as they're doling out money to their buddies, foundations. You want to impress me? Go down to some of the worst, hardest hit neighborhoods as far as economics. Go here in the country and start piecing people off. Go knock on doors and piece people off. Send money into people's bank accounts, giving it to these charities. How much of that money actually ever even gets to the people who really need it? They're doing it because it's tax write offs, right? Oh, well, I don't have to pay taxes here. Fine. I'll throw a few bucks towards this foundation. Meanwhile, the only people that are benefiting from that are the executives at most of these foundations. Just take a look at how that money is utilized. As Bill has said many times before, it was a mistake to have ever met with him and he deeply regrets it, said a spokeswoman for Mr. Gates. Mr. Pritzker, part of a wealthy and politically connected Chicago family, was a frequent guest at Epstein's townhouse, according to the documents. Mr. Pritzker and Hyatt representatives didn't respond to requests for comment about scheduled meetings. Well, isn't Mr. Pritzker's brother some sort of bigwig in politics? Is anybody going to ask him about his brother's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, or does it not fit a certain narrative? I'll leave that up to you to decide. 11:30am Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Gates, Leon Black. The schedule called for Epstein and Mr. Gates to head two blocks along 57th street to the skyscraper that houses the offices of Apollo Global Management. Epstein had been scheduled to meet with its co founder, Mr. Black, the day before, and the two men were slated to meet again three days later. The documents show Mr. Black had more than 100 meetings scheduled with Epstein from 2013 to 2017. They typically met at Epstein's townhouse, occasionally at Mr. Black's office. The documents show the billionaire stepped down as Apollo's CEO in March 2021. An Apollo review found he paid Epstein $158 million for for estate planning and tax work. Mr. Black declined to comment about the scheduled meetings. Apollo has said Epstein was working for Mr. Black, not Apollo. What they leave out here is that Leon Black is also being sued by Guzella Ganieva, who says that she was not only physically abused by Leon Black, but she was physically abused at Jeffrey Epstein's behest, so there's that as well. 2pm Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Gates, Mortimer Zuckerman, Epstein and Mr. Gates were next scheduled to head to Epstein's townhouse to meet with Mr. Zuckerman, the owner of U.S. news World Report. Boy, isn't that nice, huh? It's always nice when you have somebody like Epstein palling around with Bill Gates all day, like two BFFs that just got off of school, going to the arcade and traveling all around the city to meet with other undesirable scumbags. I'm sure nothing bad came of any of those meetings.

At the time of the meeting, Mr. Zuckerman also owned the Daily News and was executive chairman of Boston Property, a big owner of office buildings. Mr. Zuckerman was scheduled to meet Epstein more than a dozen times over the years. On some occasions, the two men planned to meet at Zuckerman's office or home, which was near Epstein's townhouse, the documents show. One night in January 2014, Epstein waited past 11pm to to meet with Mr. Zuckerman, who was scheduled to visit his townhouse at 10:30pm the documents show. What are you doing going over to Epstein's pad at 10:30 at night? I'm sure you guys are going to watch infomercials and to eat some Jack in the Box. A spokeswoman for Mr. Zuckerman had no comment on the scheduled Meetings. Oh, of course he didn't. 3pm Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Gates, Katherine Rumler. The Four Seasons, a luxury hotel chain in which Mr. Gates investment firm holds a stake, was the next schedule. Stop there. Epstein introduced Mr. Gates to Katherine Rumler, who was until earlier that year served as President Obama's top White House lawyer. Boy, isn't that nice? Imagine what they did over Alex Acosta. Now we're hearing about top lawyers for Obama, Joe Biden, CIA director, and pretty much silence. And it tells you everything you need to know about the legacy media and this story. They don't want to go near it. You know why? Because like Nancy Pelosi's daughter said in the very beginning, some of our faves are gonna get caught up in this. Well, a lot of the faves have been caught up in this. The problem is the wider public isn't aware of that because the faves have been protected by their pals inside of these media outlets. Over the next few years, Epstein often had appointments with Ms. Rumler, who was a partner at Latham and Watkins at the time and is now general counsel at Goldman Sachs. Ms. Ruemler had a professional relationship with Epstein. Many of their meetings were about a mutual client. A Goldman Sachs spokesman said. I regret ever knowing Jeffrey Epstein, Ms. Ruemmler said. The spokeswoman for Mr. Gates said Epstein never worked for Mr. Gates. A spokeswoman for Latham and Watkins said Epstein wasn't a client of theirs. 4:30pm Jeffrey Epstein, Ramsey L. Coley. Epstein returned to the Upper east side townhouse in the afternoon. The schedule shows one of the largest private homes in Manhattan. The townhouse was originally built for a Macy's heir. At 4:30pm Epstein was scheduled to meet with Ramsay El Coley, a musician and anthropologist. Mr. Elcoli had several other meetings with Epstein over the years. Mr. El Coley said one of Epstein's girlfriends had introduced them and that he occasionally went to Epstein for financial and and book publishing advice. When I heard about everything that happened, I was sick to my stomach, he said. You went to Epstein about book publishing advice? What is this guy, Random House? What is he, the Penguin from Penguin Books? In hindsight, I realized that Jeffrey was a very good conman, Mr. El Coley said. He could give the impression that he was helping you when in fact he was mostly BSing. 5:00pm Jeffrey Epstein and Leon Botstein. The next person on Epstein's calendar, Leon Botstein was running late that day. The longtime president of Bard College was arriving at LaGuardia Airport and planned to head straight to the townhouse. The documents show Mr. Botstein said the first visit Epstein's townhouse in 2012 to thank him for the 75 grand in unsolicited donations for Bards High schools, then visited again over several years, and in an attempt to get more, he also invited Epstein to events at the college. Mr. Botstein said fundraising for the school was his responsibility and that he met just as frequently with other potential donors. It was a humiliating experience to deal with him, but I cannot afford to put my pride before the obligation to raise money for the causes I'm responsible for, Mr. Botstein said. Yeah, I know, right? Profits over people. It looked like he was someone who was convicted and served his time, Mr. Botstein said. That turned out to be corrupt, but we didn't know that. Oh, you should have known it. All you have to do is take a look at the crime that he ended up getting slapped with. Give me a break already. 6pm Jeffrey Epstein, Barnaby Marsh the last meeting scheduled for the day was with Barnaby Marsh, a philanthropic advisor to wealthy families. At the time, Mr. Marsh was an executive at the John Templeton foundation, which donates to various science and research groups. He had roughly two dozen meetings with Epstein. Mr. Marsh said he often went to Epstein's townhouse for gatherings because it was full of academics and wealthy people who discussed philanthropy ideas. So many of these Billionaires knew him, Mr. Marsh said, and he would sit in the corner just kind of watching. Mr. Marsh said Epstein openly discussed his jail time. Mr. Marsh said, however, that he never saw evidence Epstein made significant donations. He was a lot of talk, but he never did anything. And I think a lot of people miss the point when it comes to the scientists and the academics that Epstein was around. It wasn't because he wanted to feel like he was smart. I've always had the opinion that he was interested in the work that they were doing. Just look at some of these scientists and look at the work that we're doing, and then tell me that intelligence agencies wouldn't want access to that, or that Epstein, being the man that he is, wouldn't want to get that information to try and parlay it for more money or more power or whatever. Because that's exactly what Epstein did. He collected people. He collected information, and then he used those people and that information to keep the criminal enterprise afloat for all of these decades. That is just one day in Epstein's calendar. He was scheduled to meet regularly with some of those same people and infrequently with others. Here is a look at how often they appeared on Epstein's schedule in the year before and the year after that. So the first person is Leon Black, 66 days. The next person is Katherine Rumler, 19 days. Next person up, Mortimer Zuckerman, 15. Leon Botstein, 12. Barnaby Marsh, 10. Thomas Pritzker, 6. Ramsey L. Coley, 5. Bill Gates, 5. So again folks, another look behind the curtain at what Jeffrey Epstein was up to, who was on his schedule and who was cavorting with this dude behind the scenes. Now, all of these people will tell you they had no idea who Jeffrey Epstein was. The question is, do any of you believe them? Alright, folks, that's gonna do it for this one. All of the information that goes with the episode can be found in the description box. What's up, everyone? And welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. The Wall Street Journal has released part two of their story that we had covered a couple of days ago, talking about Jeffrey Epstein's private calendar and some of the scoundrels that were hanging out with him and after he had already been convicted. Well, all of these people, if you've been listening to the podcast anyway, are not new names to you. Every single one of these people has been discussed and talked about on this podcast throughout the years. So it's nice to see the legacy media catching up finally and airing out some of these people, because I gotta tell you, it's about time. How long are people like Larry Summers, guys like Woody Allen and the rest of them going to get away with the fact that they were palling around with Jeffrey Epstein? 100%, without a doubt. And some of them, according to reports and accusations, were doing a lot more than just palling around with Jeffrey Epstein. So let's dive into this article from the Wall Street Journal and let's see what they have for us. In part two, Jeffrey Epstein documents Part two, Dinners with Lauren Summers and movie screenings with Woody Allen. This article was authored by Khadija Safdar and David Benoit. Lawrence Summers wanted $1 million to fund an online poetry project his wife was developing. The former treasury secretary and one time Harvard University president turned to Jeffrey Epstein. I'm sure he did. We all know that Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein were pals, right? So why wouldn't Larry Summers, another pal of Bill Clinton's, be part of the mix? And that's why I find it laughable when people are out here going absolutely bananas about a guy like Alexander Acosta, who is obviously a middleman, but yet at the same time they have nothing to say about the obvious connections with the Clintons. And with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell at Chelsea's wedding, Hillary Clinton getting Alexander de Rossi, who is Glenn Maxwell's nephew, a job at the State Department. All the money ponied up for the Clinton Global Initiative, all the trips to Zorro Ranch, the picture of Bill Clinton getting a massage in an airport from a traffic victim. You would think that the legacy media would be all over this, but they're not. So ask yourselves, why aren't they more interested in what Bill Clinton was doing when with Jeffrey Epstein. I need small scale philanthropy advice. My life will be better If I raise $1 million for Lisa, Mr. Summers said in an email to Epstein in April of 2014, referring to his wife Elisa New a Harvard professor. Mostly it will go to make a PBS series. And for teacher training ideas, of course. Let's call the cash cow, Jeffrey Epstein, who's going to use these ill gotten gains to to fund our projects. So basically all of these projects that he was funding, all this money that he was turning over to these people, all came from ill gotten gains. Do you really think this guy was making his money legally? Come on, we all know better than that. Epstein replied that they can meet in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Mr. Summers invited him to dinner, according to a trove of documents reviewed by the Wall Street Journal. Two days later, they made plans to meet at the Fireplace, a cozy restaurant in nearby Brookline, one of several meetings the two men scheduled that year. In 2016, a non profit link to Epstein donated $110,000 to Ms. News Nonprofit, which develops video content about poetry. According to tax records, you couldn't find anybody else to donate to your wife's poetry project besides Jeffrey Epstein. And then now that it's aired out and the rest of the world knows what all of us knew already, it'll be the same old tired ass excuse. I had no idea what Jeffrey Epstein was or what he was doing. And I've had my fill of that. I'll tell you what, all of these knuckleheads that were benefiting from their relationship with this guy for all of these years now have some nerve to try and get up there and tell us they had no idea who he was. Oh, I didn't know he was arrested or that he was messing around with minors. How don't you know that? You're the head of the CIA. It was your operation. Don't tell me you don't know who Epstein was, Mr. Burns. The documents reviewed by the Journal, which include thousands of pages of emails and schedules from 2013 to 2017, provide new details about the nature and frequency of Epstein's contacts with with an array of powerful people long after he was a registered sex offender. He had pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting and procuring a minor for prostitution.

Mr. Summers deeply regrets being in contact with Epstein after his conviction. And Ms. News Nonprofit regrets accepting funding from Epstein, said a spokeswoman for the couple. Ms. News Nonprofit later made a contribution exceeding the amount received to a group working against sex trafficking. The spokeswoman said, like that makes it all better. Great. You donated money to a group that works against human trafficking. Does that make better the fact that your husband was palling around and enabling Jeffrey Epstein? No, it does not. So I don't even want to hear the nonsense about, oh, well, we donated the money after we accepted it. Well, why'd you accept it in the first place? Many of the people or institutions named in the documents were previously known to have associated with Epstein. Some of the documents show that their disclosures about contacts with Epstein were incomplete. Other documents provide new details about how often or where the people met with Epstein and the kinds of favors he did for them. The documents don't reveal purpose of most of the meetings. The journal couldn't verify whether every scheduled meeting took place. Many of the people told the Journal they met with Epstein for reasons related to his wealth and connections. Like that excuses it. Like Epstein was the only rich guy in New York. New York is littered with rich douchebags. So why are you going to Jeffrey Epstein for funding when you already have more money than you know what to do with? Does anyone really believe that Bill Gates was looking for donations from Jeffrey Epstein? I mean, come on. Among the new details, Mr. Hoffman said he met with Epstein to raise funds for MIT and that he regrets interacting with Epstein after his conviction. Mr. Allen's spokeswoman said the filmmaker went with his wife to a group social events at Epstein's townhouse. Mr. Black declined to comment. He stepped down after an Apollo investigation found he paid Epstein for planning and tax estate advice. And as far as Reid Hoffman goes, how much money did Reid Hoffman donate to to President Biden? Oh, yeah, that's right. A whole hell of a lot. Mr. Barack said he often visited Epstein when he traveled to New York. He said he met interesting people at Epstein's townhouse where they would discuss politics and other topics. In retrospect, Epstein seems to be a terrible version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but at the time seemed to be an intelligent person, socially well connected and a wide area of interest from science to geopolitics, Mr. Barack said. He said that he never participated in any parties or activities with girls or women. Well, there sure were women at Epstein's townhouse while Mr. Barack was there visiting. We have photo documented proof of that. And we also know that Epstein funded the company Carbine911 that was founded or run or whatever by Ehud Barack. And there's no doubt about the friendship he had with Epstein. The documents show that the disgraced financier pedophile kept a busy schedule, filling his days with meetings with politicians, executives and celebrities, including at his New York townhouse and his residence in the U.S. virgin Islands. Prosecutors alleged in 2019 that Epstein had abused girls and had run a sex trafficking ring. He died that year in jail awaiting trial in what the New York City medical examiner said was a suicide. Allegedly, Barnaby Marsh, then an executive at the large charitable fund John Templeton foundation, met with Epstein roughly two dozen times, often for breakfast at the townhouse, the documents show. He was previously known to have met with Epstein, but not to that extent, Mr. Marsh, who advises wealthy people on philanthropy, said he went to Epstein's townhouse for gatherings because it was full of billionaires and academics who had many of the same interest in charitable giving. Mr. Marsh said Epstein openly discussed his jail time. So openly discussing his jail time. And all of these billionaires, millionaires, and the rest of them were hanging out there, lapping it up, loving it. And the only reason any of them regret even one minute of it is because they've been exposed for the scoundrels they are. So many of these billionaires knew him, Mr. Marsh said. Nobody ever said, watch out for him. He said Epstein convened people, including Microsoft co founder Bill Gates, to try to solve problems facing rich donors, such as how to make large gifts. Epstein told Mr. Marsh that Epstein was managing money for Mr. Gates. Mr. Marsh said, what that means is tax evasion. How do I hide this money so I don't have to pay the same taxes that the rest of you do, even though I have enough money that me and my family for a million generations won't be able to spend? I had high hopes that he would follow the paths of others who use their second chance to make a positive impact in the world, Mr. Marsh said. In the end, he disappointed me. Breaking news. Mr. Marsh. Okay. People like Jeffrey Epstein don't get rehabilitated. When you're abusing children, when you're raping women, that doesn't just go away. That's who you are. That's ingrained into you. You're wired wrong. You came off the line at the factory up. That's what it means. Okay, so there's no rehabilitating somebody like Jeffrey Epstein, but all of these smartest people in the room, well, they'll tell you something different. Epstein misrepresented his relationship with Mr. Gates and didn't manage money for him, said a spokeswoman for Mr. Gates. Mr. Gates has said they met for philanthropic reasons. Imagine being Bill Gates and grifting to a guy like Epstein, showing up, cup in hand, asking for a couple of bucks. I don't buy it. That's the only rich person you knew? How about some of these owners for some of these sports teams or something like that? You go to Jeffrey Epstein, huh? I'm sure that was the only reason. Only because you were looking for some charitable handouts. Bill Gates, Mr. Richest Guy in the world. As Bill has said many times before, it was a mistake to have ever met him, and he deeply regrets it. The spokeswoman said. The documents reveal how Epstein's friends sustained a relationship after his conviction in ways that were mutually beneficial. Epstein received help to repair his reputation, and his friends, well, they received favors. Dr. Eva Anderson Dubin, a longtime friend and the wife of hedge fund Billionaire Glenn Dubin invited Epstein to charity events to which he contributed. In the summer of 2015, Epstein sent Dr. Anderson Dubin a funny story about checking into a California hotel with a young woman. I went to park the car and the bellman said to Carnia, is that your father? Epstein, then 62, Robert wrote in an email, referring to his female companion, then in her 20s. Dr. Anderson Dubin wrote back. Glenn laughs so hard. I wonder if he'd laugh as hard if he had to sit down for a deposition and tell the truth under oath. I highly doubt it would be a comical situation. Then in 2019, when Epstein was charged with sex trafficking, the Dubins told the Journal through a spokesman that they were horrified and that they had continued their friendship after his 2008 guilty plea because they believed he had been rehabilitated himself. So that's the, the going excuse, right, for all of these elites? Oh, he was rehabilitated. We believe in rehabilitation. Meanwhile, all of these jerk offs own companies and people who have felonies. Go and try and get a job at Glenn Dubin's hedge fund. Go and try and get a job from Larry Summers. Go and try and get a job from any of these people with a felony on your record. I mean, this might work on other people, but those of us who have been following along, we all know better. And the gaslighting, the misdirection, and the rest of it is not going to work. Dr. Anderson Dubin, a physician and former Ms. Sweden, has said she dated Epstein in the 1980s. Epstein connected Mr. Dubin to JP Morgan Chase, which bought control of the hedge fund Highbridge Capital Management in 2004 for more than $1 billion. Epstein earned a fee for this transaction, the Journal has reported. Yeah, he got his middleman fee. That's what he did. He would get in there, become the middleman, set the transaction up, then take a few bucks off the top. The documents also reveal Epstein offering to help to one of the Dubin's daughters, as he did for the children of other contacts. In 2012, Epstein emailed the Dubins daughter that he would arrange modeling jobs for her with Apparel brands. In 2014, he scheduled a meeting between her and a professor at Harvard, where she was a student, the document shows. Must be nice to have Uncle Jeffy show up for the save, huh? A spokeswoman for the Dubins said Epstein didn't make any introductions for modeling jobs for their daughter. The spokeswoman reaffirmed the Dubins 2019 statement, which also said they had been aware of the vile and unspeakable conduct described in these new allegations. They would have cut off all ties long ago and certainly never allowed him to be in the presence of their children. I don't believe it for a second. Uncle Jeffy was invited over for Thanksgiving dinner right after he got out of jail. What are you talking about? Epstein donated millions of dollars to Harvard the during Mr. Summers tenure as the university's president from 2001 to 2006, Harvard has said it decided to reject donations from Epstein after his 2008 guilty plea in Florida. Mr. Summers, who remains a Harvard professor, had more than a dozen meetings scheduled with Epstein from 2013 through 2016, including several dinners, the documents show. Mr. Summers didn't solicit donations for Harvard for Epstein after his conviction and didn't personally receive money from him, his spokeswoman said. Their interactions primarily focused on global economic issues, she said. So the renowned economist Larry Summers has to sit down with brain dead Jeffrey Epstein and talk about political issues and economic issues that are globally based. Okay, sure. I guess I'm going to go and talk to the plumber about radiology next. But he did solicit donations for Ms. New, his wife. In 2014, Ms. New, a professor of English, was hoping to expand the general public of her Harvard coursework about poetry. She established the nonprofit that received the Epstein donation and later created a public television series, the spokeswoman said. Mr. Marsh said Epstein asked him multiple times if the Templeton foundation could donate to Ms. News Poetry Project. Templeton didn't donate to the project, he said. Harvard declined to comment beyond its 2020 report on its size with Epstein, which found he donated $9.1 million before 2008 and had visited the campus dozens of times after his conviction. He also had an office there. Okay, let's be very clear. Jeffrey Epstein was the patron saint of Harvard. Epstein was known to have friendly relations with Mr. Allen. The documents reveal new details about some of their activities and how often they met. They were scheduled to get together nearly every month in 2014 and 2015. In November 2012, an assistant to Mr. Allen sent one of Epstein's assistants a note. Woody was wondering if Jeffrey would be interested in in watching his new film either today or tomorrow, epstein said. He was available. Epstein said. Mr. Allen also planned visits to the studio of artist Jeff Koons in 2013 and to the South Bees auction house in 2017, the documents show. Mr. Coons didn't respond to requests for comment. And the art house, we know that they use high end art as a way to launder money. It's one of the most foolproof ways to hide your money. And the value doesn't depreciate in these pieces of art. You buy yourself a Picasso, something like that, it's only going to go up. So they'll buy this art because the reporting practices are lax to say the least. And then from there they'll use it as a way to launder their money. Just like with high end real estate. Epstein arranged for Mr. Allen to join dozens of dinners at Epstein's townhouse. Mr. Allen went with his wife, Ms. Previn Epstein. Staff sometimes ordered Mr. Allen's flourless chocolate cakes and bottles of Beck's beer, the documents show. Woody and Soon Yi lived in the same neighborhood as Epstein and were frequently invited to dinner parties at his townhouse, said a spokeswoman for the couple. There were always other guests at those gatherings, like that's some kind of confidence builder. Like you all weren't there being degenerate. In October 2014, Epstein planned for Mr. Allen to give lessons on film editing at his townhouse to a group of guests watching Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. The Document show on the guest list in the 2014 film session with Mr. Allen, the document show where Terry Rod Larsen, a Norwegian diplomat who helped negotiate the Oslo accords in the 1990s. I've talked about this before several times, and the IPI foundation, the International Peace Institute, the UN and Larson here were all in bed with Jeffrey Epstein. Never mind the cfr. The documents reveal Epstein also made plans for Rod Larson to visit his private island in 2012.

The diplomat came so frequently to Epstein's townhouse dozens of times from 2013 to 2017 that the staff knew to have cucumbers on hand for his gin the document show. But I really don't know Jeffrey Epstein. I've never been there for anything but business and I have no idea what you're talking about. Meanwhile, a whole different story is being played out right in front of us and I don't understand how people aren't paying attention because to just how deep all of this goes. You take a look at the players on this stage and it is a who's who of the the elite of the power brokers around the world. Not just in America, but worldwide. And all of them were palling around with this scumbag even though they knew what he was. Mr. Rod Larson resigned in 2020 as President of the International Peace Institute after Norwegian newspaper DN reported he visited the townhouse frequently, had received a hundred and $30,000 personal loan from Epstein, and had accepted about 650000 in donations from Epstein's foundations for the non profit. The IPI said in 2020 that it was unaware of the donations and the loan, and that Mr. Rod Larson had apologized for his failed judgment. Oh well, it's all forgiven then, right? He apologized. Let's just move on folks. Let's not talk about Mr. Rod Larson, the UN or the IPI anymore. After Epstein was arrested in 2019, photos were published in newspapers showing Mr. Barack, the Israeli politician, entering Epstein's townhouse in 2016. The documents provide new details about his scheduled meetings. They show that between 2013 and and 2017, Epstein planned at least three dozen meetings with Mr. Barack. They had appointments every month for 11 consecutive months, starting in December 2015, the document show. And remember, it's his daughter Ehud Brock's daughter Daphne Barack, who gets all of those interviews with Ghislaine Maxwell. Oh, I wonder why that happens. Mr. Barack told the Journal he was introduced to Epstein in 2003 by Shimon Perez, another former prime minister of Israel, at a social event with US Dignitaries and that he would regularly visit Epstein when he traveled to New York. Quite often I came to the townhouse with my wife, Mr. Barack said. Mr. Perez died in 2016. Oh, I love these ones too, right? Oh, I was there with my wife. I only went to Epstein's while I was with my wife. Okay, sure buddy, we believe you. Mr. Barack also took flights on Epstein's private jet, the documents show. In January 2014, he met Epstein at his Palm beach mansion and then they flew together to Tampa, where Epstein dropped him off and continued on to New York. I flew only twice on his airplane, together with my wife and an Israeli security detail, Mr. Barack said. He said he remembers the trip in Florida was to visit a US Military installation in Tampa. Why is Epstein getting access to military installations in Tampa? Anybody ever want to ask that question? I never participated in any party or any other improper event around Epstein and never met him with girls or minors or even adult women in improper context or behavior, Mr. Barack said. Okay, sure, we believe you, even though we've seen the photos of you going into this house, we with a bunch of young girls. Mr. Hoffman, the LinkedIn co founder, has apologized for his interactions with Epstein, including inviting him to a 2015 to a dinner in Palo Alto with Silicon Valley leaders. After Epstein was arrested in 2019, Mr. Hoffman said he had met with him to help raise funds for MIT at the request of then Director of MIT's Media Lab, Joy Ito. The documents reveal that Epstein had plans for Mr. Hoffman and Mr. Ito to visit his private island in March 2014 and November 2014. On the second date, Epstein planned to travel with both men from Palm beach to the island for a weekend and then fly together to Boston when the venture capitalist had a flight scheduled to land late at night in New York on December 4, 2014. Epstein arranged for Mr. Hoffman to stay overnight in his townhouse, the documents show. The following morning, Mr. Hoffman was scheduled to attend a breakfast party with Epstein, Mr. Gates and others, according to documents. And this is the man who bundled a bunch of dough for President Biden. And this is what I mean about the financial sector. These dudes are so corrupt, they're so in bed with people like Epstein that it's not even funny. And then they go on to have a huge impact on our elections by being bag men for potential presidents. What, you think Reid Hoffman doesn't have a seat at the table if he wants one when Joe Biden's having a meeting with all the money that was donated by Reid Hoffman? If you think that he can't call the White House whenever he wants, you're crazy. That's what that money buys you. Access. And Jeffrey Epstein was a master at that. He knew that he can get into those halls of power. He knew that he could hang with the so called elite. He just had to offer them what they wanted. And what did the elite always want, folks? What do they never have enough of? That's right. Money and power. And Epstein was offering both in spades. Mr. Hoffman told the Journal he only visited Epstein's island residence, Little St. James, for an MIT fundraising trip with Mr. Ito. He said he regrets ever meeting with Epstein, and his last interaction with him was in 2015. It nos@ me that by lending my association I helped his reputation and thus delayed justice for his survivors, Mr. Hoffman said in an email. He said he met with Epstein to discuss science projects at universities while I relied on MIT's endorsement. Ultimately I made the mistake, he said. And I'm sorry for my personal misjudgment. I. Well, at least this guy's owning up to it a little bit. But still the fact remains this dude was around Epstein's house all the time and there's no way that you're going to convince me that you never saw anything improper. I'm sorry, Mr. Ito said in an email. Reed attended a few fundraising events at my request, including one trip to Little St. James after I confirmed to Reed that Mr. Epstein had been an approved donor target for MIT in accordance with university rules and regulations. After Epstein's arrest in 2019, Mr. Ito resigned from the MIT Media Lab and apologized for accepting funding from Epstein. MIT said at the time that it was a mistake to accept Epstein's gifts. The school later said it donated $850,000 to non profits supporting survivors of of sexual abuse. Well, folks, as you can see from this article, all of these names that have been associated with Epstein, that have been rumors, well now that's all confirmed for the regular folk out there that might have needed a little push in that direction. But for the rest of us who have known these names forever, who have known what they've been up to forever. Look, the dance goes on, folks. And while I'm not naive enough to think that we're ever going to have real justice here, you better believe your boy and his beard are going to continue screaming into the wind from the mountaintops. All of the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box. What's up, everyone? And welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. So now that the Wall Street Journal has released their article or multiple article series about Jeffrey Epstein's calendar, it seems that some in the legacy media are finally taking notice of what was going on here, and they're starting to at least talk about it a little bit. And today we have an article from Vice News which isn't really known for their, you know, exemplary Epstein coverage. They have an article out talking about the relationship between Epstein and Bill Gates. So let's see what Vice News has to say about this relationship, and let's see how often we have to correct them. Headline what we know and don't know about Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein. This article was authored by Tim Marchman, and like I said, it was published by Vice News four years after the relationship between Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein was first made public. Surprisingly little is known about it, largely because Gates and his public relations team have consistently refused to answer basic questions, concealed information, and said things that aren't exactly true. Gates has expressed exasperation at being asked questions about Epstein, claiming to have answered them for the hundredth time, but never has said how many times the two met or when. And because much of what he has said has proved to be, at best, misleading, his explanations of the nature of the relationship lack credibility. So far, so good from Mr. Marchman here, because that's exactly what happened. Bill Gates is somebody that was very close to Epstein. No matter what his denials tell us, the facts tell us something different. And all of the palling around, that should really tell you all you need to know. Nobody's driving around New York City going to meetings with somebody that they're not friendly with. I mean, you might go to meetings with people you're not friendly with, but you're not driving there together. You're not palling around, moving from one locale to the next. All of this has a paradoxical effect on the public's understanding of the relationship between the one time world's wealthiest man and now deceased child sex trafficker who mysteriously close to some of the world's most powerful people, including Former Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump. I'm surprised they even mentioned the Bill Clinton in this article. Usually they'll just say, you know, Donald Trump and then mention Alex Acosta. A sort of version of Gresham's law has been at play with bad information driving out good. Everyone already knows about Gates and Epstein, even if much of what they know, such as the claim, which periodically goes viral, that Gates visited Epstein's private island dozens of times, isn't actually true or. Well, they're not lying about that. I've never seen anything to confirm that Gates was there dozens of times or that Gates engaged in abusing anybody. That's not what I'm saying. My point is this. Why is somebody like Bill Gates, Mr. Richest man in the World, even thinking about trying to get money from somebody who has been convicted of crimes like Jeffrey Epstein? Where's the thought process there? How is that even a thing? If you're Bill Gates, don't you have a bunch of other people you can get money from? So none of it makes sense. And as far as the pictures go, I have to say there are a lot of fake pictures surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, the people that were hanging out with them, and the island. But does that mean there are no pictures of Bill Gates down there? I can't say that. I don't know for sure now. I haven't seen any pictures of Bill Gates hanging out on the island or anything like that that have been confirmed. And the people that put out the fake pictures and stuff like that, they're really only hurting the case overall, because what it does is it gives room for people like this author to start calling people conspiracy theorists. And while there certainly are a bunch of conspiracies floating around surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, one thing is a goddamn certainty. Jeffrey Epstein and his criminal enterprise. Oh, it was a conspiracy all right, but not a conspiracy theory. A conspiracy to human traffic and launder money. That's what the conspiracy was. No theory added to the end of that, folks.

This means that genuinely new information, such as that contained in a wall Street Journal story published this week doesn't have quite the impact it might. Well, not for nothing, Mr. Author of the article. That's because people like you think that you have a handle and a grip on the Epstein story, when the reality is you most certainly do not. Gates strategy of obfuscation has left him closely associated with the infamous criminal, but also created confusion that diminishes the power of new revelations. No, they do not. Only if you are somebody who's worried about giving ammunition, quote, unquote, to the other side. And we know that a lot of these journalists are political activists making pretend that they're journalists. The effect of all of this is that the public remains in the dark about the nature of the close association between one of the world's most powerful men and the pedophile who sexually exploited dozens of children. Which began after Epstein had already been convicted of procuring a minor for prostitution in 2008 and just served over a year in prison. Later, the sweetheart deal he obtained from prosecutors would be revealed by the Miami Herald and a series of reports would lay out the cottage industry that sprang up around Epstein systematically paying off and silencing his victims. The cottage industry. Well, guess what, Mr. Journalist Advice. There wouldn't be a cottage industry if you and your pals in the legacy media did your job. How about that? Instead of trying to gas people up to hate their neighbors, why not direct them towards their real enemies? And those enemies are scumbags like this Bill Gates, Jeffrey Epstein, and all of the other so called elite that don't give a fuck about you. Oh, you're poor. That's all right. Let them eat War. The Journal story is based on calendars the paper's reporters obtained and documents. One day, September 8, 2014, on which Epstein had arranged to meet with several powerful figures in New York. Among them was Gates, with whom he was scheduled to spend six hours spread across meetings with four different people at four different locations, including Epstein's townhouse. It also documents four additional days on which Epstein and Gates were, according to Epstein's calendar, scheduled to meet, at least three of which appear to have been previously unknown. This is extremely significant because it substantially increases the amount of specific known meetings between the two and shows that they were meeting on specific dates late into 2014 after, in fact, the relationship had caused conflict between Gaetz and his then wife, Melinda French Gates, which would ultimately end in their divorce. But here's the thing, Mr. Author, we've been telling you this for years. How many people have been telling you about the close nature of the relationship between Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein. And how many of these journalists let their own bias get in the way from them believing it? As Bill Gates said many times before, a spokesperson told the Journal it was a mistake to have ever met with him and he deeply regrets it. This is the line Gates has gone with for years. To understand just how inadequate an explanation it is requires understanding what we definitely know about his relationship with Epstein and how we know it. In August 2019, four days after Epstein died by suicide in a Manhattan jail cell. So a guy who's decrying conspiracy theories is out here talking about Jeffrey Epstein died of suicide in his jail cell. And he knows that for a fact. Why? Because the government told him. Oh, okay, well, that's cool. If you want to believe that, then that's great, but. But me, I'm going to need a little confirmation. Especially when it's Bill Barr being the voice telling us that he's the guy who saw all of the evidence, he saw the videos, he knows what happened, and we should all believe him. Here's an idea. Release those videos to the public. How about that? What's stopping you from doing that? It's not a state secret. We're not talking about national security here. We're talking about a child molester who, who died in a jail cell. Let's call it what it is. Now give us the information and give us all of the details. Full and complete transparency. Nothing else is acceptable. And instead of working towards that end, reporters like this one, journalists like this one instead get on here and cry about conspiracy theories instead of taking the time to write a big ass article demanding accountability. After CNBC reported that Gates and Epstein had spoken more than once and met at least once in New York in 20, after which Gates, according to people with knowledge of the matter, flew to Palm beach on Epstein's private plane. A spokesperson told the network Epstein never provided tax, estate or services of any kind to Bill Gates. No, it was just his friendship, right? His companionship. Epstein's such a cool guy that I want to go and hang out with him. Is that what Bill Gates said? Because remember, we're talking about a man who could be with anybody he wants in the whole world. He chose to spend his time with Jeffrey Epstein. And there's no amount of spin or nonsense that any reporter or journalist can toss on that to change it. A bit more than two weeks later, France Info reported that according to Epstein's handyman, Gates and French Gates had been guests at Epstein's luxury apartment on Avenue folk in Paris. 100%. They were just like Harvey Weinstein was a guest there and so many others. Any hint of business or personal relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Bill and Melinda Gates, a spokesperson told the outlet, is totally false, only to find out that it's not. But you're all engaging in conspiracy theories here. Around this time, the Wall Street Journal interviewed Gates, who was promoting a Netflix documentary about himself. Asked to describe his relationship with Epstein, Gates said, I met him, I didn't have any business relationship or friendship with him. I didn't go to New Mexico or Florida or Palm beach or any of that. Lies. All of it's lies. And if he has nothing to hide, why is he lying about this relationship? A week after that, on September 6, 2019, the New Yorker published a report about the relationship between Epstein and the MIT Media Lab. In October 2014, Gates had donated $2 million to the lab. An email from director Joy Ito to the magazine obtained said, this is a 2 million dollar gift from Bill Gates directed by Jeffrey Epstein. A spokesperson told the magazine that any claim that Epstein directed any programmatic or personal grant making for Bill Gates is completely false. Several days later, the Journal interview, which took place before the New Yorker broke the MIT story was published, carried a statement from a Gates spokesperson. Although Epstein pursued Bill Gates aggressively, any account of a business partnership or personal relationship between the two is simply not true. And any claim that Epstein directed any programmatic or personal grant making for Bill Gates is completely false. Oh yeah, I'm sure it's all false. All of this is just BS and we all just made it up. They were never friends, they never hung out, they never palled around. Bill Gates never flew on that plane. On October 12, 2019, the New York Times published what was and remains the most in depth examination of the relationship between the software tycoon and the criminal. You mean the pedophile? What's making you not call him that, Mr. Author of this article? Mr. Gates met with Mr. Epstein on numerous occasions, the Times reported, including at least three times at Mr. Epstein's palatial Manhattan townhouse and at least once staying late into the night. According to the paper, the two men were introduced by Boris Nikolic, the science advisor for Gates Multi Billion Dollar Foundation. The report identified three distinct occasions in 2008 on which the two had a party in January at Epstein's townhouse, a conference in March in Long beach, and to get together in May again at Epstein's townhouse, where they were surrounded by the likes of Nikolic and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, as well as on one occasion in September 2013 when the two met. When Gates flew to Palm beach on Epstein's private airplane from New Jersey, though it wasn't clear if this was the same 2013 flight on which CNBC reported. So I think that we can take from this that Bill Gates was on that plane more times than it was documented. I think that's a safe assumption here. Bill Gates regrets ever meeting with Epstein and recognizes it was an error in judgment to do so. Bridget Arnold, a spokesperson for Gates, told the Times. She asserted that her client, who had spent decades as the richest or one of the richest men in the world, had had security apparatus of a head of state, had flown on Epstein's private plane without knowing who. Who he was. She would not say how many times the two had met. And it's always the same story. I'm so sad and mad that I was hanging out with Epstein. I regret my relationship with him. No, you regret getting caught. You regret being outed. As of October 2019, then, despite the various carefully phrased denials of a business or personal relationship he made and that were made on his behalf, reports which Gates did not dispute documented at least five distinct meetings between him and Epstein over a period of nearly three years. Four in New York and one in Long Beach. It had also been reported that Gates had flown on Epstein's private plane and visited his Paris apartment. Stuff that we have been talking about here literally for years. Okay, it's nice that the legacy media is finally catching up, but we've been talking about this stuff for years. This all amounted to solid evidence of a substantial relationship of some kind between the two men. And as the person closest to Gaetz was aware, there was more the public didn't know. When the Times published its investigation into the relationship, the Wall Street Journal would report years later, Melinda French Gates held calls with divorce lawyers. One issue that led to her want to end the marriage, and the paper reported accurately, as she confirmed last year in an interview with cbs, was her husband's relationship with Epstein. She was also aware of another meeting between the two men in September 2013, which hadn't been known to the public and wouldn't be until the Daily Beast reported it in 2021. She knew about it because she had been at it and according to the Beast, soon after said she was furious at the relationship. Can you imagine your husband hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein? I wanted to see who this man was, and I regretted it from the second I stepped in the door, she told cbs. I had nightmares about it afterwards. Two years ago, the Daily Beast reported that Gates and Epstein had in fact met dozens of times into 2014, and that Epstein had counseled Gaetz on his struggling marriage. Your characterization of his meetings with Epstein and and others about philanthropy is inaccurate, a spokesperson told the Daily Beast. I don't buy that for a minute. The Daily Beast has done real good work when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein and his pals, and I have to believe that what they did here was solid as well. Because when we're talking about a guy like Bill Gates, he's done nothing but lie, so why would I give him the benefit of the doubt at all? While it's possible this review inadvertently omits other information, all of this together amounts to about what we knew about the relationship between Gates and Epstein before the Journal published its story this week. We knew they had met at least six times between 2011 and 2013 and perhaps as many times as late as 2014 that the relationship played a key role in precipitating Gates divorce, and that Gates denied there was any business or personal relationship between him and Epstein before extensive documentation of the relationship caused him to shift to simply expressing regret for meeting with Epstein in an attempt to secure billions of dollars for global public health projects. The Journal's reporting established that the two were regularly meeting later than had previously been specifically documented, including in the months leading up to the $2 million gift for MIT Media Lab. That's MIT internal records show as having been given and directed by Epstein due to opaque labeling of a graphic. It's not clear if the earliest meeting documented in the calendars was in September 2013 and if so, whether it was one of the two meetings at month that was previously reported on. So it isn't clear exactly how many new meetings were revealed.

And I don't think that really matters, honestly. I think that it reaffirms what we already knew. And when you have this documentation following along with what we already knew, I think there is zero debate to be had about the relationship between Epstein and Bill Gates. These dudes were tight and it was a lot more than just palling around talking about work. In the years since his ties to Epstein were first reported on, Gates has repeatedly addressed them in public. In 2019, at a DealBook conference, he described the relationship as a mistake in judgment. In 2021, he told CNN it was a huge mistake to spend time with them. This year, he told Australia's ABC I shouldn't have had dinners with them, and expressed exasperation at having to answer questions about the subject for the hundredth time. Well, you give 100 different answers every time you're asked. There are many open questions about the exact nature of the relationship between Gates and Epstein. Saying so doesn't imply that the answers must be untoward. Or that Gates explanation that he met with Epstein to discuss philanthropy and ended the relationship after it became clear that continued dialogue would prove fruitless is untrue. It's amazing how this author continues to give Bill Gates the benefit of the doubt. Given the Journal's reporting this week, though, the most basic and easily answered questions which Gates could address with one number and two dates seem more important than ever. How many times did he meet Jeffrey Epstein and when did he do so for the first and last time? It can't be a surprise that in the absence of such basic information, conspiracy theories, some ridiculous and some less so, would thrive. And it's all about the conspiracy theories, right? That's all these people want to talk about. But think back a few years when they were telling us that Bill Gates hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein was a conspiracy theory too. And just like most things that have to do with Jeffrey Epstein, it's all a conspiracy theory. Until it's not. All right folks, that's going to do it for this one. All of the information that goes with the episode can be found in the description box.
