5 highlights from Bill Gate's interview with “CBS -Morgen” while he looks at his “last chapter”,

Billionaire and philanthropic Bill Gates Gives up his assets for the health and well -being of millions and announced exclusively on Thursday via “CBS morning” that he will issue 200 billion US dollars from Gates Foundation over the next 20 years.

Gate At first, his plan revealed to give away his entire fortune practically last week in an interview with “CBS morning”, and said that he would pursue an “equity, valuable approach” for the distribution of funds. There will be several causes, with the focus on global health and education. His ultimate goal: save tens of millions of lives, especially from women and children who suffer from HIV, Malaria and other fatal diseases.

Here are some highlights from his discussion about his 200 billion dollars and about what he calls the “last chapter” in life -and much more.

“It is wild that someone can have as much money as I”

Gates said he would not miss the money, but he hopes that he will live long enough to see some of the positive ways to help hard communities.

“I hope I still live when we end the 20 years, but I will save a little to buy Hamburger – as much as I need,” joked Gates.

Some may think Why now? It is easy for goals: you can do more by spending more money. Therefore, Microsoft's co -founder said that he “doubled”.

“And then there will be other very wealthy people who can understand what the problems are, what is left,” said Gates.

“And in a way it is wild that someone can have as much money as I do,” he added.

More children will die from Trump Administration due to aid cuts, says Gates

Than the USA and other European countries Lower budgets for foreign aidsHealth experts have Considered concerns About the effects on global health. In 2023, an estimated 4.8 million children died before he was 5 years old, according to a UNICEF report published in March, which has had a significant decline since 1990. Gates expects the deaths to rise again, and it is something he wants to tackle.

“I will say, despite the challenges we have, I am very optimistic about the progress that we can make in the next 20 years,” said Gates. “In the next five, there will be setbacks due to these cuts, but we will get it – and so the number 5 million could rise a little, which shouldn't happen. It is terrible. But over time we will lower this number less than 3 million less.”

Gates calls for the US leaders to take into account the difference that the maintenance of foreign aid – can make up about 1% of the federal budget of last year.

“For 1%, if you can save the 1,000 times less life than we save lives here, and if this creates stability in these countries, you will thrive that participate in the global economy,” said Gates. “And we don't have to intervene with our military or anything and the strategic relationship with you where you see that we have helped you get ahead, and this money is the reason why you will be able to see a future pandemic early and to prevent you from spreading like Covid until the United States.”

Gates hopes that the United States will follow its leadership to help some of the poorest nations in the world, and said that he would always work for governments to help.

“We never ask for more than 1% to help the poorest. And I think cutting – if you are well below this 1% and cut, I think I do not reflect the values ​​we should stand for,” said Gates, adding that the USA should not cut money for vaccines or HIV medication.

Some of these topics performed in Mar-A-Lago during a three-hour dinner between Gates and President Trump in December. Gates said they had a “great discussion” about polio and innovations in HIV prevention and about the cooperation to maintain “HIV healing earlier”.

“Some of the programs have been cut off since then,” said Gates.

On the first day of his second term, Mr. Trump signed an executive order to start the country Withdrawal from the World Health Organization. In March, the Trump government revealed plans to reduce the Ministry of Health and Human Services – a Main overhaul This worked thousands of employees. Some of his plans to lower the federal expenses also included the Suspension of US support for foreign aidEssentially from the US Agency for International Development or USA.

Last week, a high -ranking officer said at the Office for Management and Budget Mr. Trumps Proposed household for the 2026 financial year Also includes “enormous reductions for foreign help” and focuses more on “targeted” foreign help in situations if it is in the interests of the United States

“I hope to restore some of these auxiliary activities with both the president and the congress,” said Gates, adding that the Gates Foundation cannot replace the US support.

In the 2024 financial year, the US government paid for an abroad of almost 72 billion US dollars -with $ 14.4 billion for humanitarian support, reports the PEW Research Center, referring to ForeigNassistance.gov.

Gates fears that cuts for foreign help could lead to an even more childhood death, since lack of vaccines and HIV medication that prevent mothers from infecting their babies.

“Instead of [deaths] If we go down, we will go back up again, ”said Gates.

The “last chapter” of Gates' career

Gates marks many significant milestones this year- the Gates Foundation is 25 years old, Microsoft turns 50 and Gates, 70 years old.

“I am stunned that I am 70, because when I was young and I thought, Hey, these old people didn't … they are not very up to date with what is changing, what is important. And so I am here,” said Gates and admitted that his “Microsoft Days” were very intensive.

Nowadays he spends his free time to play and read pickleball and tennis. He also regularly travels to Africa and India as part of his work with the Gates Foundation and monitors some of the programs with which he worked to improve health and development.

“I can travel and see the effects. And I don't work. I only worked in my 20s,” said Gates.

Gates said he “doesn't feel like a 70-year-old”, but he wishes that he “had more time”.

Towards the end of a letter that he published online on Thursday, Gates explained his decision to give away practically his entire fortune, he begins the “last chapter” of his career.

“And I hope I am lucky that in the 20 years in which we spend all of these resources, I can both contribute to directing them and seeing the work and ensuring that others will not be done in these next 20 years, “he said to” CBS morning “.

Part of the motivation of Gates results from the generosity of his good friend Warren Buffett, who has donated billions to the Gates Foundation in the past 19 years. Buffett, who is now 94 years old and announced this month that he was As a CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, step downmade lifelong promises two decades ago at five charity organizations – including the Gates Foundation – that will continue until his death. At that time it was that largest philanthropic promise in history.

“I should make sure it is well spent. Warren Buffett's generosity, this is always – I felt a great responsibility to ensure that its generosity is very effective. And now this is the last phase of all of this, “added Gates.

What Gates hopes that the world will say about him in 100 years

When asked what he hopes, the world says in 100 years in 100 years, Gates said that he “has no interest” to create a permanent name for himself.

“If I take care of it, I might make the foundation a foundation that takes forever. And other people choose to do that, “said Gates.” That's okay. I don't think this is the way to have the greatest influence. Most things I work on will no longer be a problem. “

He hopes that in a century people will be confused by some of the diseases in a century – such as tuberculosis, measles and malaria.

“I think we will have the lives of all children worth, because the world will be rich enough and the innovation of tools they do will be so strong, they know that the number of deaths in childhood should vary very small and not different between different countries,” said Gates.

AI is a “very authorized instrument” for future generations

Another tool of which Gates believes that they could help: artificial intelligence.

“In a sense, it will be so new that none of us are ready. But some of the aspects of it are incredibly positive,” said Gates, who said first-hand, how Khanmigo assistant was used by AI-operated teaching assistant Khanmigo, which was built by the non-profit Khan Academy, by math teachers in New Jersey.

While AI can help promote curiosity and to be a “very authorized tool”, Gates said that children continue to forge their own ways based on their unique interests.

“Children will choose what they are interested in. They don't have to be all AI scientists,” he said.

While some concerns can say about AI as a motivational murderer, Gates argues the opposite. There could be more freedom and time for them to spend on things they are passionate about.

“Well, this is called the” embarrassment of wealth “that they do not have to work the long hours they work today. They won't be lacking in doctors and huge waiting lists,” said Gates, adding that he hopes that AI countries like Africa, which are on doctor's shortage, supports.

“Society will decide: how do you spend time? And how quickly it comes, you would get a lot of disagreements, but in general we are on the way. And so – we will have more freedom. It is much better than the things that go back,” he added.
