According to reporting from former insiders at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and investigative journalists, Gates pursued a relationship with Epstein beginning around 2011 — not for friendship, but because Epstein claimed he could leverage his wide-reaching social network to help Gates secure a Nobel Peace Prize. Epstein allegedly told Gates's foundation staff that he could open doors to influential “Nobel influencers,” positioning himself as a back-channel fixer for elite favors. Their contacts reportedly culminated in a 2013 meeting in France with Thorbjørn Jagland, then-chair of the committee that awards the Nobel Peace Prize — a move widely interpreted as an attempt to put Gates in closer proximity to the Prize's decision-makers.Despite that outreach, the efforts appear to have failed. Gates has since publicly called his dealings with Epstein “a huge mistake,” saying in interviews that he first met Epstein hoping to raise philanthropic funds but that nothing materialized. The association, however, severely damaged Gates's reputation, helped catalyze his divorce from Melinda French Gates, and raised deep questions about how the super-wealthy may try to game institutions meant to reward genuine service and altruism rather than influence and social connections.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Bill Gates has once again been pulled back into the Jeffrey Epstein maelstrom as newly resurfaced records and correspondence reignite questions about the true depth of his relationship with Epstein—long after Epstein's 2008 conviction made his reputation impossible to ignore. The latest disclosures include communications involving Gates' philanthropic circle that appear to show Epstein positioning himself as a broker of influence, attempting to connect Gates with political figures and high-level networks. These revelations undermine the long-standing public narrative that Gates only met with Epstein a handful of times for benign philanthropic purposes and had no meaningful partnership with him. They also intensify scrutiny over why one of the most powerful and well-informed figures in the world continued to engage with someone already known as a convicted sex offender.The renewed spotlight has also revived the internal controversy surrounding Gates' personal life, including widely reported tensions within his marriage as Melinda French Gates repeatedly objected to the association and later described Epstein in strikingly harsh terms. As more details surface, Gates' attempts to minimize the relationship appear increasingly strained, especially with each new record that contradicts earlier public statements. What was once portrayed as a minor footnote now looks like a strategic, mutually beneficial connection—raising the central unresolved question: Why was Bill Gates willing to maintain contact with Epstein after the world knew who Epstein truly was?to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The Covid Inquiry led by Baroness Hallett has concluded that the UK did too little too late in response to Covid-19, that the lockdown could have been avoided if steps such as social distancing and isolating had been introduced earlier. Joining Anita Rani to give their response to the findings and tell their stories of that time, are musical theatre actor Ruthie Henshall, whose mother died in a care home during Covid and Naomi Fulop, from Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK, who also lost her mother during this time. Another chance to hear a shortened version of an interview Anita recorded last month with Melinda French Gates, the most well known and powerful woman in philanthropy. In 2000, Melinda co-founded the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has - to date - donated over one hundred billion dollars to charitable projects. She and Bill Gates married in 1994 and divorced in 2021, after 27 years of marriage. Melinda has since left their joint enterprise and set up her own, Pivotal Ventures, which has one purpose: to put power into the hands of women. In a new report 'Care, courage, change,' the World Health Organisation has conducted analysis of the various health and support policies for survivors of violence in the 53 countries of the WHO European Region. The report reveals that almost one in three women and girls aged 15-years and older, will experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime - but countries' health sectors are failing nearly one in three survivors. Anita Rani talks to Melanie Hyde, WHO Europe's Gender, Equality and Human Rights Technical Officer, author of the report.Poetry, love and an incurable cancer diagnosis are the themes of a new film looking at the relationship between the acclaimed spoken word poet and activist Andrea Gibson and their wife, writer Megan Falley. Megan joins Anita along with the documentary's producer Jessica Hargrave to talk about the film and her late wife. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Rebecca Myatt

This claim has circulated in interviews, public commentary, and survivor-oriented discussions in the Epstein network context, and has been referenced in reporting and commentary surrounding Gates's relationship with Epstein. She has stated that she encountered him within Epstein's environment and that he was part of the orbit surrounding Epstein's trafficking and social circle.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In a recent Wall Street Journal interview, Bill Gates revisited his controversial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, acknowledging that meeting with the convicted sex offender was "a huge mistake." However, Gates's admission of “foolishness” rings hollow to critics, who question why such a highly intelligent and influential figure would repeatedly associate with Epstein, even after his criminal history was publicly known. Gates claimed he engaged with Epstein in hopes of advancing global health philanthropy, yet no tangible benefits emerged from these meetings, raising concerns about his judgment and motivations. Critics argue that Gates's wealth and power afforded him ample resources to explore other philanthropic avenues without involving a figure as toxic as Epstein.Additionally, Gates's attempts to downplay the personal fallout from his ties to Epstein invite further skepticism. Reports suggest that Epstein tried to exploit their acquaintance by threatening to expose an alleged affair involving Gates, adding a layer of complexity to the narrative. Gates's repeated meetings with Epstein—despite his then-wife Melinda French Gates expressing discomfort—cast doubt on his sincerity and decision-making. His efforts to frame the relationship as a lapse in judgment fail to address the broader implications of why someone in his position would disregard ethical concerns for potential personal or professional gain. This relationship has left a lingering stain on Gates's reputation, with critics questioning whether his contrition comes from genuine regret or the need to repair his public image.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bill Gates Addresses His Friendship with Sex Offender Jeffrey Epstein: ‘I Was Foolish'Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In high school, Carla Brodley was almost shut out of computer science when boys took over all the computers. But she rediscovered her love for the field in college and has made it her mission to open doors for others. At Northeastern University, she founded the Center for Inclusive Computing, which now partners with more than 100 institutions to make computer science more accessible. As a result of Brodley's push to introduce more flexible degree programs, more women — and especially more women of color — have not only enrolled but stayed in the field. Now, with support from Pivotal, a group of organizations founded by Melinda French Gates, Brodley is aiming to scale up her efforts. Today she joins Lost Women of Science host Katie Hafner to share her journey, new paths to computer science, and how AI fits in. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

In her memoir, The Next Day, and in past interviews, Melinda French Gates didn't mince words: she found Bill's continued association with Jeffrey Epstein — a convicted sex offender — deeply unsettling and out of line with her values. She revealed that a single dinner with Epstein in 2013, during which she was visibly disturbed by the mansion's eerie ambiance and his behavior, marked a turning point. That encounter left her “unsettled,” and signaled deeper marital fissures. She later called Epstein “evil personified,” telling CBS she “did not like” Bill's meetings with him, and complaining that the relationship deeply betrayed both their marriage and her moral compass.Melinda's disgust with Epstein's presence went beyond emotional reaction—it entered the realm of moral accountability. She repeatedly voiced her objections and ultimately cited Bill's ties to Epstein as a contributing factor in their divorce, decisions that had been simmering since at least 2019. Her statements make clear that this wasn't a minor misstep but a fundamental breach of trust: one that required her to reckon with the reality that her marriage and her values could no longer coexist with that association.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10573431/Melinda-Gates-slams-Bills-friendship-pedophile-Jeffrey-Epstein-CBS-interview.html

She later called Epstein “evil personified,” telling CBS she “did not like” Bill's meetings with him, and complaining that the relationship deeply betrayed both their marriage and her moral compass.Melinda's disgust with Epstein's presence went beyond emotional reaction—it entered the realm of moral accountability. She repeatedly voiced her objections and ultimately cited Bill's ties to Epstein as a contributing factor in their divorce, decisions that had been simmering since at least 2019. Her statements make clear that this wasn't a minor misstep but a fundamental breach of trust: one that required her to reckon with the reality that her marriage and her values could no longer coexist with that association.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10573431/Melinda-Gates-slams-Bills-friendship-pedophile-Jeffrey-Epstein-CBS-interview.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
After years of media tiptoeing and carefully sanitized narratives, Bill Gates is finally facing serious public backlash over his longstanding relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. For a long time, Gates was largely shielded by his philanthropic image and tech titan status, with mainstream coverage downplaying the extent of his ties to Epstein. But as court documents, flight records, and internal emails began to surface, that protective bubble started to crack. Gates met with Epstein numerous times after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, including private meetings at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse and reportedly discussing matters as sensitive as the Nobel Peace Prize. Despite his repeated claims that the relationship was purely about philanthropy, it's become increasingly clear that Gates engaged far more deeply with Epstein than he initially admitted—something even his ex-wife, Melinda French Gates, cited as a major factor in their divorce.Now, the scrutiny Gates once managed to sidestep has caught up with him, and the tone of coverage has shifted dramatically. No longer is he simply the awkward genius turned do-gooder; he's a billionaire who maintained contact with a convicted sex offender long after most people ran the other way. Critics are questioning why Gates, a man with virtually unlimited resources and access, would have any reason to associate with Epstein—let alone repeatedly. The once-taboo questions are finally being asked: What did Gates know? What was he told? And why did he stay in contact for so long? As the public demands accountability from every angle of Epstein's network, Gates is no longer exempt. His name is now rightfully being dragged through the same mud he helped tread around for years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bill Gates believed Jeffrey Epstein could deliver the Nobel Prize he craved.

For years, the legacy media played a central role in downplaying or outright deflecting scrutiny of Bill Gates's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Despite mounting evidence that Gates met with Epstein multiple times after Epstein's 2008 conviction—some meetings even taking place at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse—the media largely framed their interactions as unfortunate misjudgments or networking missteps. Outlets such as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal did eventually report on the relationship, but only after years of silence and often with language that minimized the seriousness of the association. The focus routinely shifted toward Gates's philanthropic work, his divorce, or internal drama at the Gates Foundation, rather than probing why one of the world's most prominent billionaires was spending time with a convicted sex offender whose network was deeply enmeshed in trafficking and abuse.Even when Melinda French Gates publicly admitted that Epstein was a major factor in the collapse of her marriage, coverage was curiously restrained. Instead of asking hard questions about what Gates knew, what he was told, and why he continued meeting with Epstein long after others distanced themselves, much of the press chose to maintain Gates's image as a misunderstood genius and benevolent technocrat. Investigative leads were rarely pursued with the same intensity seen in coverage of other figures entangled with Epstein. This selective leniency wasn't accidental—it reflected a longstanding pattern in elite media circles of protecting powerful figures in tech and finance, especially those with deep ties to influential institutions. In the case of Gates, it provided a shield that lasted far longer than it should have.To contact me:Bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://nypost.com/2020/05/15/bill-gates-didnt-visit-sex-criminal-jeffrey-epsteins-island-repeatedly/
Melinda French Gates has described her single meeting with Jeffrey Epstein in 2013 as deeply unsettling, stating that she “regretted it the second [she] walked in the door” and later referred to him as “evil personified.” She said the dinner at his Manhattan residence left her disturbed—uncomfortable with both the setting and her then-husband Bill's decision to associate with Epstein. Her unease was so strong that she made her disapproval known directly to Bill, highlighting how Epstein's presence and ties created significant tension in their marriageMoreover, Melinda has indicated that Epstein's involvement with Bill Gates became one of the contributing factors in her decision to seek a divorce after 27 years of marriage. In her memoir and past interviews, she has attributed part of the breakdown in their relationship to what she viewed as Bill's ill-advised meetings and connection with Epstein. The public resurgence of her comments—calling Epstein abhorrent and acknowledging how the revelations caused nightmares—has underscored her continuing disapproval of that association.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comTo contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10573431/Melinda-Gates-slams-Bills-friendship-pedophile-Jeffrey-Epstein-CBS-interview.html

Description: If we're lucky, most of us will live an abundant life that's filled with a number of significant transitions. How we embrace those inevitable life changes and honor that growth can make a big difference in how we are prepared to meet future challenges. Today, Jen and Amy have the pleasure of sitting down with Melinda French Gates to discuss how, at 60, she is stepping into this next beautiful season of life. By giving a rare glimpse into her interior life, and sharing previously untold stories included in her new memoir, The Next Day: Transitions, Change and Moving Forward, Melinda shares the heart-connecting lessons that we all can apply to the universal moments in our lives – including becoming a parent, the loss of a close friend, the loss of a marriage, knowing the right time to make a career move. In this episode, we discuss: The art of letting go and beginning again and making the most of the time between an ending and a new beginning How growing up in a middle-class Catholic family influenced Melinda's values and worldview What it looks like to loosen the bonds of perfectionism and embrace uncertainty in times of change The new projects, ideas and hopes Melinda has for the future Thought-provoking Quotes: “Surround yourself with great people who are all charging toward the same mission.” – Melinda French Gates “There was something about the rollback of women's rights in the United States that I just never thought we would see in our lifetime. To see that my granddaughters will have fewer rights than I have, just shouldn't be. I felt called to try and do something about that.” – Melinda French Gates “When you lift women up, what I know from all over the world is, they lift families up and they lift societies up. And so they should be able to step into their full power, but there are still barriers in society that hold us back.” – Melinda French Gates “Women don't tell each other enough that we're proud of them so it's good to hear it, no matter who you are.” – Amy Hardin Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Melinda Gates: The Power of Lifting Up Women - https://jenhatmaker.com/podcasts/series-18/melinda-gates-the-power-of-lifting-up-women/ Sara Bareilles - She Used To Be Mine - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53GIADHxVzM Adele - Easy On Me - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3ASj1L6_sY The Gates Foundation “Make Me Care About… with Jen Hatmaker” podcast - https://www.gatesfoundation.org/podcast/make-me-care-about The Next Day: Transitions, Change, and Moving Forward by Melinda French Gates - https://amzn.to/3FBDoTV The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World by Melinda French Gates - https://amzn.to/3FIW98c Gates Foundation - https://www.gatesfoundation.org/ Pivotal Ventures - https://www.pivotalventures.org/ Guest's Links: Website - https://www.pivotalventures.org/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/melindafrenchgates Twitter - https://x.com/melindagates Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/melindagates Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/c/melindagates TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@melindafrenchgates Connect with Jen!
