Several mind boggling lines here, my personal favorite is him trying to say he was using Epstein to get to some global health professionals because Epstein was well connected. My brother in Christ, you're Bill Gates, who's gonna say "No, sorry, I can't talk to Mr. Gates at the moment. Oh, Epstein gave his word? Clear my schedule!"

        It's such a wild answer to that question, just an incredibly suspicious to way to reply to them asking if he learned anything about associating with a guy like Epstein

    "Well, he's dead..."

    1:26 A very creepy smile right before he says "ahhhhh". He's so happy Epstein is dead that his mask entirely slips.

    If you watch the interview before this you can compare how agitated he gets as soon as Epstein is mentioned like he was caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

      Before I saw your comment I was going to make a top level comment saying that to me he fidgets exactly like a little kid telling a lie. I used to do that myself when I was little but my mom was very kind about it.

      "Are you sure that's what happened???"

      "Uh, huh."

      "Are you sure?"

      "Uh... - nuh, huh."

        If you're considering the "Once people become rich and unaccountable they're that age for the rest of their lives." theory, Gates hasn't really had to answer to anyone since he was around 15.

        I had posted a link to the same interview before I watched the full clip, I thought it was the full interview but interestingly this segment is not in it.

      IMO that doesn't say anything that's not already there from knowing he met with Epstein. It's not that hard to imagine an innocent person getting associated with a controversial situation and struggling with addressing that specific issue with grace. Scheduling meetings with Jeffrey Epstein is simply not a situation an innocent person is going to haphazardly land in by some unfortunate accident.

    pro tip: Don't show a liberal this and talk about the implications, they'll look at you like you're a crazy conspiracy theorist

    Which I am, but also I know all my "conspiracies" and actual conspiracies are correct

      I wasn't sure if it was that, or if it was his thinly veiled white supremacism where he talks about "overpopulation."

    I still want to know what the conversation was like in the Clinton household when Epstein was arrested in summer 2019 and then when Maxwell was a couple years later. Did no elites ever panic? Did they always know the fix was in and that they'd be protected?

        You're wrong. They organized independently. In the night of, Donald Trump was dressed in a balaclava and a shirt with black and white horizontal stripes. He was walking mischievously, making ridiculously dramatic strides, when he encountered Hillary, dressed in the same outfit, right outside Epstein's door. They both laughed, got inside with their friend, passed a bong around for a couple hours and did the deed.

          My favorite part is afterward, when Clinton dug a hole straight to China to escape, and Trump tried to follow but a giant chipmunk threw him back out of the hole before chittering angrily at him. Then the guards came in and Trump put on a big, shit-eating grin, tipped his hat, and slunk slowly out of the room, walking backwards.

    This fuck only knows how to hide behind his charity-washing, and that smile on his face at the end revealing how they all got away with it.

    Learn any lessons you old pedophile?

    What gets me about this interview is that he equivocates and talks around it and actually gives the fucking interview when he could just stonewall them. Like what's even his goal with this? Is it just to show that he can say "I killed Jeffery Epstein" on national news and get away with it? Is it a threat to keep whatever other criminals he's involved with quiet?

    Adam Johnson of citations needed has a tweet I am far far too intoxicated to track down which basically goes (to paraphrase): "Bill Gates keeps saying he needed Jeffrey Epstein for his connections to charity organizations. Who are these organizations? Name their names! If bill gates picks up a phone and dials the number of an international charity organization who the fucking shit isn't taking that call?????????"

    his wife left him right after his connections to Epstein were revealed to the public. he nervously plays with his empty wedding ring finger the entire interview. also "well he's dead and you have to be careful" is definitely a veiled threat. I love that he spends 30 seconds answering the question with platitudes like "that was a long time ago now." motherfucker no it was not.
