Robert Epstein

Look, Drew, 2019 is when I first testified before Congress. President Trump tweeted very, very positively about my testimony. Hillary Clinton then replied to her 80 million Twitter followers that my work had been completely debunked, which is completely false. And I got cut off at that point from mainstream media. All my contacts, every single one went down the tubes.

Time Magazine, New York Times, you name it. Completely cut off since then. I also did that summer a private briefing for Ken Paxton, his AG of Texas, largest AG office in the country, and a bunch of other AGs at Stanford University. After my briefing, One of these AGs came out, came right up to me and said, Dr. Epstein, I don't mean to scare you.

He said, but based on what you've told us, I predict you're going to be killed in some sort of accident within the next few months.

Yeah. And I wasn't, but Misty, my beautiful wife, was. And those incidents have continued. So who is doing them? Well, it's not Google employees. It's someone making a phone call to a security firm and then they get a... They get someone else. You know, there's different levels. But the point is there have been six incidents now that are pretty scary, let me tell you.

And I have the most amazing staff.

Well, the work we do is very expensive. Monitoring is very expensive because we've recruited more than 16,000 registered voters, politically balanced, by the way, in all 50 states. That's expensive. And we pay them a token sum, just like the Nielsen company does to get the Nielsen ratings. They pay a token sum to...

you know thousands of families we do the same thing but we're only paying them 25 bucks a month but if you have 10 000 that's 250 000 a month so to answer your question we have no security We are struggling day to day to get major funding, and it's cost close to $8 million to get where we've gotten, and we've gotten quite far.

But the point is we've never had full funding, never had the ability to do certain things, and security is one area where we've been very weak.

Kind of, yeah. Yeah, it's utopianism meets massive amounts of funding, really almost unlimited power, a lot of which is just behind the scenes. and the tools, these new tools that have never existed before for changing people's thinking and behavior. And that's where, again, my research group, that's where we are the world's leading group.

In fact, we're the only group in the world that has been identifying, studying and quantifying these new techniques. They all have names. search suggestion effects, opinion matching effect, and so on and so forth. And we publish in the top peer-reviewed journals that there are. But we're the only ones because everyone is either getting money from Google or they're scared to death.
