I often see in the comment section, people say, girls, keep the Epstein files at the top of the news cycle. And I think, you know what? Our listeners are smart and they are correct. And much to my surprise, we have a strange ally in this plight of ours. And one, Melania Trump randomly had a press conference yesterday and addressed the Epstein files directly. And before we dive into her video, which is delicious, I want to first paint the picture of Melania and Gleine Maxwell's email communications that were dribbled out in one of these Epstein drops. Pop this up. Sweet P.

Thanks for your message. Actually, plans changed again. And I am now on my way back to New York. I leave again on Friday. So I still do not think I have time to see you. Sadly, I will try to call, though, Keep Well, G. X. Then we have, dear G, how are you? Nice story about J.E. in N.Y. Mag. You look great in this picture.

I know you are very busy flying all over world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. give me call when you are back in New York. Have great time. Love Melania. So to me, you and I text and send each other emails. Right. We've known each other for 25 years. I don't know that our emails are that sweet to one another.

God, no. Okay, so here is a stunning video of the least popular first. lady in the history of the country yesterday. Play the clip. Slinking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today. The individuals lying about me are devoid of ethical standards, humility and respect.

Pause, real quick, keep it up. It is so rich that she, has the ability on some delusional level to call out people that are devoid of integrity and honesty. Yeah. Respect. Respect. What? Be best.

Okay, go on. Dear ignorance, but rather, I reject their mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation. I never been friends with Epstein. Donald and I were invited to the same parties as Epstein from time to time, since overlapping in social circles is common in New York City. Look at the shade going out. It's so weird. Somebody's like, peekaboo.

What's Melania doing in there? What's going on? Okay, so here's the craziest thing about this, right? a journalist because you know, Trump is like a psycho dialer. He's on the phone constantly with people. He will not get off the phone. And so there's reporting suggesting that she did not give Donald heads up. Put this up.

Jacqueline Almany says just got off a quick phone call with President Trump, who said he didn't know anything about Flotis's statement prior to her on. camera appearance, but that he was in a meeting about the war and couldn't speak further. She didn't know him, he added, before hanging up, referring to Epstein. Pumps. First of all, why is he answering the phone while in a war meeting? That's question one. Because he's a psycho dialer. Because he doesn't give a shit what's going on with the war. He's more interested in what the reporter wants to know. Here's the thing. Do I believe that he didn't know? I kind of find that hard to believe.

But the most important, fantastic part is Melania Trump rolling out there and saying all the connections saying we have to, I mean, it has to end right now. And it's like, okay, Melania, well, now you've put, I mean, you've put a cork in it. We're done. Melania, you created the biggest shitstorm about this. You did this. And here's the deal. everything that people are saying is backed up by voice recordings of Jeff

Epstein emails and photos. So shut the fuck up. Okay. All right. Moving along, she also called for a public hearing for Epstein survivors leading to the release of this letter. Aaron Parnas is reporting breaking. Epstein survivors release a statement in response to Melania Trump's address. In part, it says, survivors have done their part. Now it's time for those in power to do theirs. So the question is, why, why did she do this? And I could go either way, if Trump knew or if he didn't know. I don't think there's any question she can't stand the guy. No. I don't think there's any question that she has her own vision for herself and for her own celebrity, much like her

husband does and I think they would each throw the other under the bus completely heartbeat I mean I don't think this is like some long love story what's interesting to me is in the Melania documentary as we had Kylie pirate and watch they famously say goodbye to each other and each go into their own bedrooms and I just I just have to note could you imagine if Barack and Michelle did a documentary and they both went into separate bedrooms, like the conservative freak out. Like so is this a traditional marriage? I just, I need to know.

We know it's godly, but is it traditional? Okay. And just so we're clear, these are the people that Donald Trump and Melania Trump had absolutely no connection to and did not know at all. And here we go. Okay, so here's Donald, here's Melania, here's Jeffrey, and here.

And we started off this episode with the email exchange between Galane and Melania. Of course, there's all sorts of suggestions that Epstein recruited their various sources, Eastern European women and brought them over for his sex trafficking crime world, and that Melania was one of those people. I don't know if that's true or not, but I just know that's out there. And I know after everything you've read in the Epstein files, it's like anything's possible. And here's the deal. I don't really care how they met.

But the fact that she's saying she didn't know him tells me 100% she knew him, coupled with the multiple photographs with them together. But this whole situation has people wondering why Melania is choosing to speak up now. Is the war that bad that they need to go back and talk about the. pedophilic sex ring that everybody in Trump's cabinet appears to have colluded in? Is that what it is? Put this up. Okay, John Favro says, okay, so who's about to break the Melania Epstein story she just tried to get ahead of? Pumps. Great question. That's what I was wondering. Like, why now, why this? Here's the thing. Her coming out there randomly to say she wasn't friends with him, she didn't know, you immediately think something's about to break. Something's about to break.

I mean, there's something where, and it's going to be juicy. And then for her to call on Congress for public hearings, I believe that. I think that's true. But the problem resides in her traditional marriage partner. He's the one blocking the Epstein files. That's who could release the Epstein files. She knows he's not going to. She knows he's not going to release the files. She knows he's not going to release the files. She knows this is all just to make her look good, but whatever is coming. But here's the thing. So he started a war to get away from Epstein. The war's going so poorly. We're back to Epstein. Like, when is something going to break on this thing? I mean, it's got to be big. Don't you think it's big? I think the Epstein file in and of itself is big. I think, I think that this is the biggest political cover up in global history. And, you know, I don't know what her motivations are, but I know that every time I try to apply like a normal person's logic to this regime or the people around it, it falls apart because these people are illogical, diabolical machinators that are going for some random global domination or vapid global popularity. The Daily Beast is reporting the following.

Pop this up. in recordings obtained exclusively by The Daily Beast and published on the eve of the 2024 election, the convicted sex offender was heard bragging about his close friendship with the president and First Lady. And I just know from everything that I've read in Jeffrey Epstein's own writing. I mean, he was really close with Donald

and by proxy Melania. He was spending in Trump one point over after he was already convicted, sex offender, I believe it was Thanksgiving with Trump in the White House. And here's continued reporting from The Daily Beast. Epstein even claimed that the first time Trump slept with his now wife was on his plane, dubbed the Lolita Express in her statement. Melania said she had never been on his plane. And as she said, the lies must stop. today and it's just like you can say that all you want to happen all the press conferences you want to

with robots you can make uh jeff bezos spend 70 million dollars on a wretched documentary you can pray to run with the easter bunny at why at the white house as your husband calls you a movie star the facts remain you guys are in the middle of this child sex ring and he tried to detract from it with Venezuela. Yeah. And then now we're at this, this horrific war with Iran. And it remains that not only Trump, not only Melania, not only Howard Letnik, but all of these oligarchs that are funding fascism are all in the middle of the Epstein files, the very first

law firm that bent the knee to Donald Trump, that lead partner, Epstein files. It seems to be a feature of people surrounding Trump in Trump 2.0, that they are all featured prominently in the Epstein files, pumps. And obviously, based on the correspondence, you know, I want to see you. I'll try to call. Let's get together. It was not what she say. It was just normal correspondence. It wasn't. A normal correspondence is, thank you for the flowers.

That was so kind of you. That's it. not trying to meet up, not trying to get calls. Here's the deal. Here's what I think. Melania Trump was buddy, buddy with Galane and Jeffrey. She hooked Trump, who was a big millionaire. I am sure she's had buyer's remorse more than once on that deal.

Be that as it may. He is the person that has total control over all of the survivors testifying publicly, release of the files. It reminds me of be best. Like, I don't want internet bullying. The biggest bully on the internet is your husband. So like clean your own fucking house, Maloney it. Nobody.

I mean, nobody is buying the bullshit that you're trying to sell right now. And let's just remember that the acting attorney general right now, Todd Blanche, is the guy who went to meet with Galane because it was rumored that the leak to the Wall Street Journal, the letter was Galane, sending a signal like, I will, I will screw your presidency up. unless you tend to me. So Todd Blanche, Trump's current fixer, the man who got him convicted of 34 felonies, clearly an incompetent lawyer, goes to meet with Gilein Maxwell. The next thing you know after this meeting,

in my, I'm deducing here that there was cooperation via Gailene Maxwell that gave assurances to Todd Blanche that she was not going to be a threat the truth was not going to be a threat to his presidency, and then she gets moved to a cream, puff prison where she's parading around with a puppy. And so it's incredibly rich, the condescension that this administration treats its followers and its detractors, that we do not see what's going on here. And others are pointing out Michael Wolfe's claim about the First Lady. Here's a video. A new book was published yesterday in the U.S. and UK called Entitled the Rise and Fall of the House of York.

It's by a British journalist by the name of Andrew Loney. And it's about the pathetic life of Prince Andrew, but it is also about his connection to Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, and Melania Trump. And in fact, it contains a passage in which Epstein is quoted, and this is from an interview apparently in 2007, where he says that he had sex with Melania a full year before Donald Trump commenced his relationship. I mean, so obviously this is a whole group of people surrounding Epstein where they're passing. women around and whether Melania was one of those women or not. I don't know. She's demanding the lie stop today. But here's the thing about Melania. And you remember, she went to the border in Trump 1.0 and she, in politics on that global stage, everything you do, every move you make is intentional. And she had that, I don't really care do you jacket on. And she was always swatting at Trump's hand.

And she didn't, I don't give a fuck about the Christmas. When Fox News is like, oh my God, the war on Christmas. And her husband's like, because I'm president, we can say Merry Christmas again. I brought Christmas back. And all the triple Trumpers are like, oh, my God, Merry Christmas. And she's like, I don't give a fuck about the Christmas. And then she did all that story reading, that weird-ass story reading to children this year out of the Christmas books. It's just on top of the.

people being so morally depraved, there's no self-awareness as to their likeability, particularly Melania's. And so this is, will surprise you, zero. Here is where Melania's approval is. And so when we think about why is she doing this, is it to dick over Donald Trump? Did Donald Trump tell her to do it? Is Michael Wolf, he has all of these tapes? Is he about to release something? is, I mean, I can't help but think with Todd Blanche that there isn't just a miles deep cover up that's criminal at this stage with the acting AG there with Pam Bondi gone.

But Melania Trump is wildly unpopular with the American public. Play the clip. That the American people really don't care for Melania Trump. Take a look at this. All right, let's take a look at Melania Trump's net favorable ratings.

Look at this. The lowest ever, the lowest ever. We're talking about now 12. If you go back a little bit more than a year ago, she was three points above water. You go back at this point, about this point in term number one for Donald Trump. Look at that. She was 30 points above water. So at this point, historic lows for Melania Trump, these numbers are absolutely awful.

And I have to say, you know, like this is wild for a first lady to be that historically low. I couldn't stand George W. Bush, but I didn't have an unfavorable thought about his wife, Flora. I just, I didn't. My focus was on him, but the Trumps are so hated and they want so desperately to be the cool kids. And I think in a, to some extent, she's spiraling because her documentary was an embarrassment, a complete flop, a total failure. You had all of these people botched, trying to buy up tickets, empty theaters, immediately goes to streaming. Total, total, total, flop. Everybody hates her. I think everybody liked her a little bit more on Trump 1.0 because she was

slapping his hand and you could tell she hated him. So it's like, okay, she hates him. So maybe I don't hate her. But this round where they try to like, have you seen them awkwardly like kiss this Trump 2.0? It's so nauseating. It is so nauseating. And you know, here's the deal. I'm not limiting my optimism about the Epstein investigation to the DOJ because that's dead in the water. You know, other countries have opened investigations. I'm like, maybe they found something. I just, I cannot believe she just woke up on a Thursday and said, I'm going to go tell everybody to stop talking about Epstein. I didn't know him, despite all the evidence being out there to the contrary.

There is something. Think about this. What if, like, you know, initially, initially, Melania was a victim of all of this too. Right. And then she ends up like the. longest documented case of like Stockholm syndrome. You know, I mean, it's just, I mean, I can't stand her. She's an adult. She has agency. I think she is a horrible first lady. I think she's a horrible person. I agree. I genuinely do. I think she's just awful. But anyway, this is wild.

We'll probably now the Epstein files are back at the top of the new cycle, as they should be. But this administration is relentless in their quest to destroy things, kill people, and erode institutions that keep us safe and keep us free. All right, that's all we have. Like and subscribe. We'll be back later with more.
