For a lot of women, getting the right care at the right time can make all the difference... but that doesn't always happen. Too often, women's health is underfunded, under-researched, or under-treated. Melinda French Gates joins Sanjay to explain why women are still being overlooked and why midlife, menopause, and maternal and reproductive health often fall through the cracks. She also breaks down her new funding push – and what smarter, more targeted investment could mean for women's lives.

Melinda French Gates is one of the biggest donors to women's health through Pivotal, her foundation. Now she's investing another $215 million to improve women's health. This money will help her longtime work on contraceptive access and maternal care while expanding to a new area: midlife and menopause. With 1 in 10 women leaving the workforce because of menopause, and another 1 in 5 considering retiring early, America faces a crisis of losing our women leaders? What can we do to stop the exodus? Philanthropist and author Melinda French Gates joins The Excerpt to talk about her latest initiative to educate healthcare practitioners and expand outreach in areas where access to menopause care is most limited.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.

Bill Gates' carefully cultivated public image as a calm, charitable, soft-spoken philanthropist is facing renewed scrutiny as questions around his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein continue to follow him. The focus is on how Gates transformed himself from a hard-charging Microsoft executive into a global humanitarian figure, with public relations teams shaping everything from his clothing and media appearances to the tone of his interviews. That polished “Mr. Nice Guy” image is now being challenged by reporting about his Epstein meetings, criticism of his personal conduct, and a growing public suspicion that the friendly billionaire persona was carefully manufactured rather than organic.The broader issue is that Gates' reputation depends heavily on trust, and the Epstein connection damaged that trust in a way philanthropy alone cannot easily repair. Melinda French Gates has previously said his meetings with Epstein were a factor in their divorce, while Gates himself has called those meetings a mistake. The result is a public-relations problem that goes beyond one scandal: it raises questions about elite access, image management, accountability, and how powerful men are able to soften their reputations through philanthropy while uncomfortable parts of their history remain unresolved.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Is Bill Gates' Mr Nice Guy image beginning to crack? – Firstpost

The Giving Pledge—founded by Bill Gates, Melinda French Gates, and Warren Buffett—is facing growing backlash as several high-profile billionaires distance themselves from the initiative amid renewed scrutiny over Gates' past association with Jeffrey Epstein. Critics, including Peter Thiel, have mocked the pledge as “Epstein-adjacent,” arguing that Gates' ties to Epstein have tainted the philanthropic effort and damaged its credibility. Some prominent figures, such as Brian Armstrong, have already stepped away, while others have reportedly reconsidered their involvement, viewing the initiative as politically driven and increasingly controversial.Beyond the Epstein-related criticism, the pledge is also under fire for lacking accountability and enforcement, since participants are not legally required to follow through on their commitments and can delay donations for decades. Critics argue that much of the pledged wealth sits in foundations or donor-advised funds rather than reaching active charities, raising questions about the program's real-world impact. While defenders of the pledge point to its global reach and hundreds of signatories, even insiders—including Melinda French Gates—have acknowledged that progress has been uneven and has fallen short of initial expectations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Billionaires bolt from Bill Gates' scandal-scarred Giving Pledge as critics brand it 'Epstein-adjacent'Become 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.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

What happens when a ghostwriter/collaborator looks on as the subject of her latest book becomes the lede of a story neither one of them set out to tell? That's the question at the heart of this conversation with journalist Kate Andersen Brower, co-author of the New York Times best-seller We the Women: The Hidden Heroes Who Shaped America, written with "60 Minutes" correspondent and former "CBS Evening News" anchor Norah O'Donnell. We the Women presents a vivid portrait of the unsung women throughout American history who have changed the ways we work and live—a book Melinda French Gates calls "a vital reminder of the importance of women's contributions to our history, and a call to action for anyone committed to carrying forward the work that they began." About that call to action: in the aftermath of the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on April 25, 2026, O'Donnell sat with President Trump for a lengthy "60 Minutes" interview, during which the president berated her for having the temerity to ask him to respond to the gunman's manifesto. The president called her "horrible" and "a disgrace." O'Donnell pushed back, and by the Monday morning of our podcast interview, the heated exchange was making headlines and filling social media feeds all over the world. "It was tremendous to watch," observes Brower, "and I hope that it inspired some younger women watching to want to become journalists, and to want to ask these tough questions." Kate Andersen Brower knows what it means to work the political beat. A former White House reporter for Bloomberg News during the Obama administration, she has written for The New York Times, Vanity Fair, Time, and The Washington Post. She is the author of the #1 New York Times best-seller The Residence, which was adapted into the hit Netflix series of the same name by producer Shonda Rhimes, as well as numerous other books, including First Women, First in Line, and Team of Five.

Today's guest is a female billionaire: the co-founder and CEO of the Good American inclusive fashion brand and a founding partner of SKIMS, the shapewear and loungewear company. Emma Grede's close working partnerships with the Kardashian family have led her to become an advocate for empowering women through business. Now, she's publishing her first book, Start With Yourself, in which she explores everything from building personal resilience to developing self-forgiveness. In this episode we discuss her East London mindset, her famously controversial (!) attitude towards work-life balance, being a mother of four (her twins were born via a surrogate) and her experience of miscarriage. Female ambition, fertility, the discomfort of hard work…I'm so grateful to Emma for opening up on subjects that are so often shrouded in silence. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 03:02 Ambition Loves Discomfort 05:57 Growing Up East London 07:31 ‘Too Ambitious' 08:34 East London Business Code 11:15 An Employee Mindset 19:13 Work-Life Balance Myth 26:34 Fearless Hustle Mindset 27:53 ITB Rise and Influencers 29:08 LA Office Ego Crash 31:40 Parenting as a Team 32:56 Fertility Reality Check 38:19 Good American Expansion Misstep 46:25 Mother's Influence

Women spend nearly a decade more of their lives in poor health than men. It's a gap that doesn't just affect individuals, it holds back entire organizations. This week on Hello Monday, Jessi Hempel sits down with Melinda French Gates, philanthropist and founder of Pivotal, and Regina E. Dugan, President and CEO of Wellcome Leap, to unpack the health disparities impacting women at work, and explore what it will take to close them. Melinda and Regina both operate at the intersection of capital, science, and equity. Together, they are rethinking how we invest in women's health, examining why progress has been so slow, and identifying what leaders can do to drive meaningful change. Jessi, Melinda, and Regina discuss: Why women spend more years in poor health, and how that affects their careers The ways health inequities limit advancement and economic opportunity Why investing in women's health isn't just the right thing to do – it's a smart move financially The role senior leadership plays in reshaping outcomes for women at work How policy, science, and leadership all play a part in closing the health gap for women Follow Melinda French Gates, Regina E. Dugan, and Jessi Hempel on LinkedIn This conversation was recorded live in Bellevue, Washington.

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-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

 More of disgraced billionaire Bill Gates' infidelities were revealed during a recent town hall with Gates Foundation staff, where the Microsoft founder, 70, admitted to two affairs during his marriage to Melinda French Gates—one with a physicist he met through work. "To add insult to the injury, you implore me to please delete the emails regarding your STD, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda," Epstein expressed in the unsent message, venting frustration about Gates' decision to "disregard our friendship."Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has admitted he had two affairs with Russian women while married to his now-ex-wife, Melinda French Gates, just like the Epstein Files says he did, and on Tuesday issued a groveling apology for his connection to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. This is a stunning revelation, and it begs the question as to why the Department of Justice has not launched a full-scall investigation into the other allegations contained in the files. Who doesn't want that to come to light? To find the answer to that question, we must go to the Oval Office.

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

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.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Description: The Epstein scandal has a new, explosive chapter. Following the DOJ's massive 2026 document release, Bill Gates is firing back against claims that he contracted an STD from "Russian girls" and tried to secretly medicate his then-wife, Melinda French Gates. In a rare and emotional interview with 9News Australia, Gates breaks his silence on the draft emails Epstein wrote to himself in 2013, calling them "absolutely false" and an attempt at "entrapment." We break down the most shocking lines from the 3 million newly released pages and analyze why the Microsoft founder says he was "foolish" to ever trust Epstein.

Yesterday, a bomb was dropped into the controversy surrounding the Epstein Files, and it came from Bill Gates ex-wife Melinda French Gates. She went on NPR and allowed herself to be asked about the references to Bill Gates in the Epstein Files. Were they true or not true? What she said, multiple times, catapulted the Epstein Files into the stratosphere, taking them from ‘conjecture and speculation' to rock solid truth. Bill and Hillary Clinton have now agreed to testify under oath about Epstein, setting a precedent that may just bring down the entire DC cabal. Donald Trump, mentioned 5,300 times in the Epstein Files, says he now wants to ‘nationalize the elections'. I bet he does. Today we show you the stunning beginning of the end, and what comes next.“Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.” Ecclesiastes 10:20 (KJB)
