Throwback to this insane Bill Gates moment (streamable.com)

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!"

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.

In case anyone is too lazy to find it, link to interview (14 minutes) EDIT: I guess not the full interview but another part of it for comparison

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.
