Hey, everybody. You're about to watch a video on Larry Summers, the former Treasurer's Tech

who's caught up in the Epstein file scandal because he basically was corresponding with the guy

for a lot of time, even after the first trouble. Before you watch us, I just want you know,

we recorded this earlier in the day, JVL and I, to talk about whether or not institutions should

severate with the guy.

And it turns out by the time that this thing was about to publish, Larry Somers said put out a

statement saying he was going to step back from public life. Here's what it read. It says,

I'm deeply shamed at my actions and recognize the pain they have caused. I took full responsibility

for my misguided decision to continue

communicating with Mr. Epstein. While continuing to fulfill my teaching obligations, I will

be stepping back from public commitments as one part of my broader effort to rebuild trust

and repair relationships with the people closest to me. Larry Summers, stepping back from

public life, what you're about to watch is a conversation

I had with JVL prior to that statement in which we talk about why the hell he was communicating

with Jeffrey Epstein many, many years after Epstein first got in trouble. Hope you enjoy.

Hey, everyone, I'm JVL here with the bulwark Sam Stein, and nobody is taking it on the chin harder in the wake of the Epstein emails than Larry Summers.

I think Donald Trump, Donald Trump.

But Trump isn't actually emailing back and forth.

The emails are all about Trump.

And Larry Summers is emailing back and forth with Jeffrey Epstein long before he is convicted

of sex crimes, long after he is convicted of sex crimes, and up to like 12 hours before

he's arrested for the final time.
