Bill Gates Says Epstein “Found My Weak Point,” and Nobody Is Buying the Explanation

“I’ve learned a lot from that.”

Bill Gates went on The Atlantic’s podcast with Hanna Rosin to talk about the dangers of AI. But along the way came the uncomfortable question about Epstein, and Gates opened up about the “weak point” that kept him coming back for “dinners.” Nobody believes him.

NOTE: This is the first of several stories in a new news roundup feature I’m launching called “Fox Finds.” I watch hours of video every day so you don’t have to, finding stories in places no one else looks. Then I clip the moments and reveal what I found. I think you’ll enjoy it.

Bill Gates says Jeffrey Epstein “found my weak point,” and the weak point was a promise of $100,000,000,000 for global health.

BILL GATES: “Well, he [Epstein] definitely had connections with billionaires, a lot of them. And, you know, in a sense, you could say he found my weak point that by saying he could get tens of billions or 100 billion that would be donated to global-health causes, that raised my interest.”

“And that was enough for me to spend a pretty modest number of hours, but enough that was a huge mistake.“

“There was never any social thing. I never went to the island. I was never introduced to any women. But I’ve learned a lot from that.”

FUN FACT: Bill Gates decided to become a “philanthropist” weeks after a federal judge declared Microsoft an illegal monopoly.

He stepped down as CEO and launched the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Not out of goodwill. He needed to rehabilitate his image after people were pieing him in the face on the street.

This “philanthropist” is the same guy who put $55 million into BioNTech before anyone heard of COVID, then dumped 86% of his shares for a cool $280 million.

In October 2019, The New York Times exposes Bill’s meetings with Epstein. Melinda starts calling divorce lawyers that same month.

February 2026. Melinda breaks her silence and says she “had to leave my marriage,” and that the reports of Bill’s affairs with “Russian girls” left her with “unbelievable sadness.”

Bill wants you to believe the Epstein thing was “just dinners.”

Now for the next story:

Original “View” co-host Debbie Matenopoulos becomes overwhelmed with emotion and tells the panel Lindsey Clancy belongs IN JAIL!

“I can’t, AS A MOM, think that’s okay. If I were in that courtroom, I would put her in jail.”

Joy Behar pushed back, asking whether Clancy belongs in a psychiatric institute instead.

Debbie gave the perfect mom answer. She said the deaths of three innocent children are impossible to ignore, and it hits her too emotionally to see it any other way.

With moms on social media rallying around Clancy, the last place you’d expect a moment of sanity is on The View.

Kudos to Debbie. She got this absolutely right. Even the audience was on her side.

You murder kids, you belong in jail. It really is that simple.

Joe Scarborough's wife sits in agony for a full minute after he says Democrats are "so EASY to beat" and "uniquely qualified in SCREWING THINGS UP."

Mika told Joe to "STOP!" He kept going. And going.

Watch her face. Then watch her hand. She hated every second of it.

CONTEXT: Morning Joe actually knows what he's talking about when he says Democrats are "easy to beat." Scarborough won four straight House races as a Republican in Florida's Panhandle from 1994 to 2000.

He then switched to independent in 2017 after succumbing to a severe case of TDS.

They tried to talk over her. Elizabeth Pipko wasn't having it.

After the CNN panel blurred the line between legal and illegal immigrants for the third time, Pipko, the daughter of Soviet refugees, told them straight up: legal immigrants deserve to be treated BETTER than those who cut in line.

PIPKO: “I'm genuinely just surprised that we all think it's okay to conflate immigrants and illegal immigrants. Genuinely baffled…"

[Panel tries to interrupt]

PIPKO: “No, I have to get this out. I talked to my dad earlier today who told me that he got MORE PAPERWORK earlier today on the death of his father at the hands of the KGB, as he was trying to escape. The people who come to this country, who go through hell and back to respect our laws and do it the right way, deserve to be treated BETTER.”

FUN FACT: Drug overdose deaths are down 35% since Trump sealed the border and cut off the cartels’ fentanyl pipeline.

Funny how that never comes up on CNN.

Andrew Ross Sorkin gushes over Trump's new America.gov website on live TV while Joe Kernen sits there stunned.

Sorkin is not a Trump fan, and he lets that be known. But the moment he said the word "credit," Kernen nearly fell out of his chair.

SORKIN: “I want to be clear. I am actually not critical of the president in this instance at all, because I actually think it was great to bring everybody together.”

“For 29,000 websites, the ability to get a passport, the ability to get your medicare. I mean, the it was like being at a product. It was like being at an Apple product announcement. And when they went through what they did and the president was there in the morning and walked through what they were doing, and Marco Rubio was there, Scott Bessent was there, the whole cabinet was there. It was one of those moments where you actually thought the government was working for you, really? And Gebbia deserves an extraordinary amount of praise for it.”

KERNEN: “Do you feel great? Are you have the warmest fuzziest feeling right now listening.”

SORKIN: “And by the way, the president deserves credit for that."

KERNEN: "Oh my God!"

SORKIN: "Credit for putting you in that role. And Jeb and his team putting it all together.”

KERNEN: “So now I'm getting hot flashes. Wow. So this is just amazing.”

CONTEXT (What happened): Trump launched America. gov, a single government site meant to replace 29,000 federal websites for things like passports and Medicare. It was built by Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia, and Sorkin was in the room for the demo.

Sorkin also credited the Trump accounts interface as "really easy to use" and "like using a real app."

That’s it for today’s Fox Finds. Let me know what you think of the new format.
