00:00:00
Wow. Melania is trying to cash in on
00:00:03
Donald Trump's cover up of his dark
00:00:06
past, his sickening connections with
00:00:09
Jeffrey Epstein and his efforts to try
00:00:12
to cover up the Epstein list and the
00:00:14
Epstein files. What do I mean by she's
00:00:16
trying to cash in? So yesterday she
00:00:19
posted an advertisement for her book
00:00:23
Melania that came out a little while ago
00:00:26
and she posted the chapter How I Met
00:00:30
Donald Trump and it's actually very
00:00:32
disturbing when you read it because
00:00:35
there are a lot of massive question
00:00:37
marks in Melania's past and well Melania
00:00:41
since you want to volunteer this to
00:00:43
grift off of Donald Trump's cover up of
00:00:46
his Epstein connections and the Epstein
00:00:48
list. Let's delve into it. Like I think
00:00:51
we should delve into Melania how you
00:00:53
advertised falsely that you went to
00:00:56
certain colleges that you never went to.
00:00:59
I think you have a very suspicious
00:01:01
background from Slovenia. And I think we
00:01:04
should explore that. Look, even when you
00:01:06
read what Melania posts from her
00:01:08
autobiography called Melania, How I Met
00:01:11
Donald, it's deeply disturbing. I mean,
00:01:13
she talks about how in 1998,
00:01:15
she went to this club in Manhattan
00:01:18
called the KitKat Club. You've seen and
00:01:20
heard me report on the KitKat Club
00:01:22
before, right? That is where the wealthy
00:01:24
Manhattan men met young Eastern European
00:01:28
women. There was a specific individual
00:01:30
named Paulo Zampoli who ran a modeling
00:01:34
agency for young Eastern European women.
00:01:37
He'd bring them to the KitKat Club and
00:01:39
they would throw these parties and
00:01:42
Donald Trump was one of the wealthy
00:01:44
Manhattan businessmen who showed up and
00:01:46
that's where he met Melania. He was with
00:01:48
another young girl or woman when he went
00:01:50
to the KitKat club that night and met
00:01:52
Melania. And she tells that story in
00:01:55
this specific chapter. So, let's just go
00:01:57
through her background. Let's go through
00:01:59
the chapter. You're going to be shocked
00:02:00
by some of the stuff I'm going to tell
00:02:02
you, right? Because this was right
00:02:04
around the time too when Donald Trump
00:02:06
was like best friends with Epstein, when
00:02:08
he was pinging around with Epstein, when
00:02:11
Gilain Maxwell was working with Donald
00:02:14
Trump to bring him young women. And this
00:02:16
was talked about in the uh London Sunday
00:02:20
Mirror talked about how Gain Maxwell
00:02:23
1997 before any of the information about
00:02:25
Epstein uh would get out. It would talk
00:02:28
about how Gileain Maxwell would bring
00:02:30
these young, beautiful women to Trump
00:02:32
and these uh businessmen. And they refer
00:02:34
to Guilain as Madame. Madame Maxwell is
00:02:38
how they refer to her as. So, just take
00:02:40
a look at some of the photos of what
00:02:41
Melania looked like when she was in
00:02:43
Slovenia. Photos here, photos there. You
00:02:46
see her right there. Now, let's take a
00:02:48
look at Melania's uh fake college
00:02:51
degree. You probably forgot this story,
00:02:53
right? Um CBS reported July 29th, 2016.
00:02:57
Melania Trump's website taken down after
00:03:00
her degree claim is debunked. Melania
00:03:03
Trump's website that had incorrectly
00:03:05
claimed she had received a college
00:03:06
degree has been removed and the address
00:03:09
now redirects visitors to the Trump
00:03:11
Organization's website. The website's
00:03:13
removal was first noticed on Wednesday
00:03:15
by the Huffington Post. In a tweet
00:03:17
Wednesday, she said that the website in
00:03:18
question created in 2012 had been
00:03:21
removed because it does not accurately
00:03:23
reflect my current business and
00:03:25
professional interests or maybe because
00:03:28
it was false and fraudulent. The website
00:03:30
had claimed that she had received a
00:03:32
college degree before becoming a
00:03:34
skincare entrepreneur and
00:03:36
philanthropist. CBS News confirmed
00:03:38
during the Republican National
00:03:40
Convention in Cleveland last week in
00:03:41
2016 that her claim that she earned a
00:03:44
degree in design and architecture at a
00:03:47
university in Slovenia was false. Not
00:03:50
true. The convention program read,
00:03:52
"After obtaining a degree in design and
00:03:55
architecture at the University of
00:03:57
Slovenia, Melania was jetting between
00:03:59
photooots in Paris and Milan, finally
00:04:02
settling in New York in 1996." This was
00:04:05
a direct quote from the website. CBS
00:04:08
News checked the official public records
00:04:10
of the university and Melania Trump is
00:04:13
not listed as having graduated there
00:04:15
with a degree. Also, she plagiarized her
00:04:18
entire speech from Michelle Obama's
00:04:21
speech at the convention. So, take a
00:04:25
look at how she describes meeting Donald
00:04:27
Trump. And again, this was the time when
00:04:29
Trump was as close as can be with
00:04:32
Epstein. Hi, I'm Donald Trump. Chapter
00:04:35
5. On a Friday night in September 1998,
00:04:38
as I settled into the comfort of my New
00:04:40
York City apartment after a whirlwind
00:04:42
trip to Paris, my phone rang. It was a
00:04:44
friend of mine. My boyfriend is throwing
00:04:46
a party at the KitKat Club tomorrow
00:04:48
night. She said, "Please come. We
00:04:50
haven't seen each other in so long. I
00:04:51
just got back from Paris." I said,
00:04:53
"Please. It will be fun. A lot of people
00:04:55
will be there. We'll pick you up." While
00:04:57
I was tired and jet-lagged, I love the
00:04:59
idea that my weekend was about to be
00:05:01
filled with the company of friends. I
00:05:03
have always been selective in how I
00:05:04
choose to spend my time and where I put
00:05:06
my energy. A late night party at the
00:05:09
club was not my top choice for a
00:05:10
Saturday evening. Just pause there. You
00:05:13
were taking a lot of nudes at this time.
00:05:16
That's what you were doing, which you've
00:05:17
since posted about. And you said you
00:05:19
loved your nude modeling career.
00:05:21
Currently, uh, Russian state regime
00:05:24
media is posting a lot of those nude
00:05:27
modeling photos. And these weren't like
00:05:29
the nude modeling photos that go into
00:05:31
like the high art type of magazines.
00:05:34
These were like the nude photos that go
00:05:36
into the other type of magazines, if you
00:05:40
know what I'm talking about. So then she
00:05:42
goes, I didn't want to shy away from
00:05:44
social gatherings. I accepted the
00:05:46
invitation anyway. After all, it was
00:05:48
fashion week, a time of glamour and
00:05:50
sophistication. Like everything she says
00:05:51
is such BS, right? I was actually
00:05:53
looking forward to mingling with
00:05:55
industry insiders and trendsetters. When
00:05:59
I stepped into the sleek black limo, my
00:06:01
friend arrived. I felt like a celebrity
00:06:03
in route to a gala. As we arrived at the
00:06:05
KitKat Club, the energy of the crowd and
00:06:08
dazzling lights greeted us. Okay, the
00:06:09
KitKat Club was not that type of club.
00:06:12
It wasn't like a beautiful gala. It was
00:06:14
kind of like a like a sleazy club.
00:06:16
Inside the dark, crowded space buzzed
00:06:18
with models, photographers, editors, and
00:06:20
designers mingling on this fashion week
00:06:23
Saturday night. I settled upstairs at a
00:06:25
table in the VIP section where the
00:06:27
atmosphere was one of sophistication and
00:06:30
camaraderie. Oh, the KitKat club. Oh, it
00:06:33
resonates. Sophistication and
00:06:35
camaraderie. Some guests dance while
00:06:37
others engaged in lively conversations,
00:06:40
and we're all enjoying ourselves. I saw
00:06:42
my friend wave at someone behind me.
00:06:44
When I turned around, I noticed a man
00:06:46
and an attractive blonde woman
00:06:47
approaching us. "Hi, I'm Donald Trump,"
00:06:49
the man said when he reached my table.
00:06:50
"Nice to meet you." I recognized the
00:06:52
name, and I knew he was a businessman or
00:06:54
celebrity, but not much else. He put his
00:06:56
hand out to shake mine. "Hello," I
00:06:58
replied. "I'm Melania." His eyes filled
00:07:00
with curiosity and interest. And seizing
00:07:03
the opportunity, he took the seat next
00:07:04
to mine and started a conversation. He
00:07:07
asked me about my time in New York, my
00:07:09
Slovenian home, and my world travels. It
00:07:12
was a moment of connection, a brief
00:07:14
encounter that left a lasting
00:07:15
impression. It was nice to make a new
00:07:17
acquaintance. He was accompanied by a
00:07:19
beautiful date. So I initially dismissed
00:07:21
our conversation as mere pleasantries
00:07:24
exchanged at an industry event. The
00:07:26
music was loud and the crowd boisterous,
00:07:28
making it difficult to truly connect
00:07:30
with someone. From the moment our
00:07:31
conversation I began began, I was
00:07:34
captivated by his charm and easygoing
00:07:36
nature. So in other words, Trump was
00:07:38
there with another young woman. He saw
00:07:40
Melania. That's how they met at the
00:07:41
KitKat Club. It was not a place of
00:07:43
sophistication.
00:07:45
She starts dating him. She gets an
00:07:48
Einstein visa in 2001. They get married
00:07:50
and it get and her visa gets expedited.
00:07:52
Snoring, hogging the covers, tossing and
00:07:54

00:07:56
bedroom that HIMS can't help you with.

00:09:23
dig into this report that uh Simon
00:09:26
Rosenberg did at the time in 2016, right
00:09:30
around 2016 2017. And what he talks
00:09:33
about is how this new AP story that came
00:09:36
out then about Melania Trump's early
00:09:38
days in the US proves she and her
00:09:40
husband had been living a lie for years
00:09:43
on camera in writing about her
00:09:45
immigration path into the United States.
00:09:47
The key passage from the APS piece. The
00:09:49
documents obtained by the Associated
00:09:51
Press show that she was paid for 10
00:09:54
modeling assignments between September
00:09:56
10th and October 15th during a time when
00:09:58
her visa allowed her generally to be in
00:10:01
the US and look for work but not perform
00:10:03
paid work in the country. The documents
00:10:05
examined by the AP indicate that the
00:10:08
modeling assignments would have been
00:10:09
outside the bounds of her visa. Which
00:10:12
means, of course, that the story she has
00:10:13
been telling for years is a fable, an
00:10:16
imaginary tale as false of the words she
00:10:18
spoke at the Republican convention. Work
00:10:20
visas. Trump World has never produced
00:10:23
any documents or proven Melania ever had
00:10:25
a work visa prior to her getting her
00:10:27
green card in 2001. Her on camera
00:10:30
description of her returning to her home
00:10:32
country to get her visa stamped every
00:10:35
few months does not describe any work
00:10:37
visa offered by the US government. It
00:10:40
suggests she was working in the US on a
00:10:42
tourist visa, a common thing for many
00:10:44
models to this day, but not legal. If
00:10:46
Melania lied about her early messy paths
00:10:48
into the US on her green card and
00:10:50
citizenship application, she almost
00:10:52
certainly committed what could
00:10:54
potentially be the types of immigration
00:10:56
crimes potentially. potentially if this
00:10:59
is the case. I'm only saying that Donald
00:11:01
Trump is going after other immigrants
00:11:03
for um right now. Um the Washington Post
00:11:06
piece does a very good job explaining
00:11:08
why Melania's story about her early work
00:11:11
in the US is hard to believe. Green
00:11:13
card. Questions remain about how Melania
00:11:15
received her green card. A Trump family
00:11:17
lawyer said in an on camera interview
00:11:18
with Univision that she received her
00:11:21
green card through marriage. In the
00:11:22
recent letter from her lawyer, which
00:11:24
this new AP story now confirms was full
00:11:26
of falsehoods, Melania claims for the
00:11:28
first time ever to have received an
00:11:30
extraordinary ability green card, aka
00:11:33
the um Einstein visa. Few experts
00:11:36
believe this is impossible. Few experts
00:11:39
believe it's possible given that she was
00:11:41
never a terribly successful model. It
00:11:43
remains my opinion that until we see her
00:11:46
actual green card and application, we
00:11:48
should assume she received her green
00:11:50
card through marriage. It is the only
00:11:51
option that makes sense as her own
00:11:53
lawyers eliminated the other likely
00:11:56
possibilities. And imagine that Donald
00:11:58
Trump's wife received a green card,
00:12:00
usually reserved for Nobel laureates,
00:12:02
and he never once bragged about it in
00:12:04
public, nor did she ever mention it in
00:12:06
an interview or include it in her bio.
00:12:09
Now, one of the things I want to show
00:12:11
you is during the 2016 campaign, Donald
00:12:13
Trump said that in two weeks or three
00:12:15
weeks, he would hold a press conference
00:12:17
with Melania to talk about her status,
00:12:20
her immigration status, which he never
00:12:22
did. Here, play this clip.
00:12:23
They said my wife Melania might have
00:12:25
come in illegally. Can you believe that
00:12:27
one?
00:12:28
No, no, no. They said headlines. Maybe
00:12:32
she came in illegally. Maybe. Let me
00:12:34
tell you one thing. She has got it so
00:12:36
documented. So, she's going to have a
00:12:38
little news conference over the next
00:12:40
couple of weeks. That's good. That's
00:12:41
good.
00:12:43
I love it. I love it. They said Melania
00:12:46
Trump may have come into our country
00:12:49
illegally. And how would that be for
00:12:51
Donald Trump to be talking? Here's the
00:12:53
only problem. She came in totally
00:12:54
legally. I mean, you know, so it's one
00:12:56
of those.
00:12:57
All right. But you'll see it in a little
00:12:58
while. I said to her, "No, no. Let it
00:13:01
simmer for a little while. Let them go
00:13:03
wild. let it simmer and then let's have
00:13:06
a little news conference and have some
00:13:08
fun.
00:13:08
So, she ultimately never addressed her
00:13:10
green card uh status. She got married to
00:13:13
Donald Trump and she brought her family
00:13:15
into the um United States. Um and as I
00:13:18
mentioned, they met at the KitKat Club.
00:13:21
Paulo Zampoli
00:13:23
helped her exped according to the story
00:13:26
expedite her visa and and the rest is
00:13:28
history. So now Melania Trump um sold a
00:13:32
documentary on that, you know, she sold
00:13:34
her story that I just read you, and
00:13:36
there's more in her book, I suppose, to
00:13:38
Amazon for $40 million. Jeff Bezos
00:13:41
acquired the rights to that a few months
00:13:44
back. I'm not sure who the hell would
00:13:46
ever want to um watch that, but she
00:13:48
spent her time grifting, you know, off
00:13:50
of the Trump related packs. her stylist,
00:13:53
her hairdressers were getting tens of
00:13:55
thousands of dollars a month from the
00:13:57
Trump supporters. Um, she would um get
00:14:01
speaking fees when she would speak at
00:14:03
Trump related events uh to the tune of
00:14:05
significant six figure fees. Whenever
00:14:07
she would do interviews, she would
00:14:09
demand that she gets paid like when she
00:14:11
demanded that CNN paid her $250,000. I
00:14:15
don't think they ever did that if they
00:14:16
wanted to um if they wanted to hear her
00:14:19
talk. Here, by the way, is Melania with
00:14:22
uh you can see Melania literally just
00:14:24
plagiarizing Michelle Obama's convention
00:14:27
speech. Let me play this for you right
00:14:28
here. Let's play it.
00:14:31
That you work hard for what you want,
00:14:33
for what you want in life.
00:14:34
That your word is
00:14:35
that your word is your bond. That you do
00:14:37
what you say you're going to do.
00:14:40
That you treat people
00:14:41
you treat people with respect
00:14:43
with dignity and respect. Because we
00:14:46
want our children and all children in
00:14:49
this nation to know that the only limit
00:14:51
to the height of your achievements is
00:14:53
the reach of your dreams and your
00:14:55
willingness to work hard for them.
00:14:59
You know, and I give credit to
00:15:00
Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine
00:15:02
Crockett for bringing up Melania's
00:15:04
background here. Play this clip.
00:15:05
And since we're talking about integrity,
00:15:07
I'm confused as to why my Republican
00:15:08
colleagues aren't talking about the lack
00:15:10
of integrity when it comes to the
00:15:12
president's family's visas. Let me
00:15:14
remind y'all that Melania, the first
00:15:17
lady, a model, and when I say model, I'm
00:15:19
not talking about Tyra Banks, Cindy
00:15:21
Crawford, or Naomi Campbell level,
00:15:23
applied for and was given an EB1 visa.
00:15:26
And what's that stands for is an
00:15:28
Einstein visa. Now, y'all that don't
00:15:32
know, let me tell you how you receive an
00:15:34
Einstein visa. you're supposed to have
00:15:36
some sort of significant achievement
00:15:38
like being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize
00:15:41
or a Pulitzer um being an Olympic
00:15:44
medalist or having others sustained
00:15:45
extraordinary abilities and success in
00:15:47
sciences, arts, education, business or
00:15:50
athletics. Last time I checked, the
00:15:52
first lady had none of those accolades
00:15:54
under her belt. It doesn't take an
00:15:56
Einstein to see that the math ain't math
00:15:58
in here.
00:15:59
I think about Melania selling the
00:16:01
memecoin, which has lost like 98% of its
00:16:04
value. I think about Melania selling
00:16:08
like symbols of America in like
00:16:10
bracelets for, you know, hundreds of
00:16:13
dollars. Um, you know, to to people like
00:16:16
like why how tacky can you be? And even
00:16:19
though she's not selling this, this just
00:16:21
leaves personally a bad taste in in my
00:16:24
mouth. you know, where the federal
00:16:27
government failed Texas. The flash
00:16:30
floods could have been dealt with so
00:16:31
much better than how it was dealt with.
00:16:34
And now they want to pretend they did a
00:16:36
great job in Texas. But you know,
00:16:38
Melania and Donald Trump go out there
00:16:40
and this is what she posts. And she
00:16:41
goes, "Forever love, Mystic. This
00:16:44
bracelet will forever hold a sacred
00:16:46
place in my heart, a quiet shining
00:16:48
thread to the young souls who now watch
00:16:50
over us from heaven. Each charm carries
00:16:53
the weight of their memory. the warmth
00:16:55
of their presence and will forever
00:16:56
symbolize their love. Mystic is per is
00:16:59
permanently bound through the joyous
00:17:01
time spent together and the remembrance
00:17:03
of their shared laughter. I mean look to
00:17:05
me the the sentiments of remembering
00:17:08
these young girls who died is so
00:17:11
important and my heart goes out to
00:17:13
everyone who lost their family member.
00:17:15
It is one of the most tragic events. But
00:17:18
there's more that we should be doing as
00:17:20
a country than posting bracelets and
00:17:23
charm bracelets and things like that.
00:17:25
Like like you know when Donald Trump
00:17:26
says you're an evil person if you ask
00:17:28
what went wrong and as you have Christy
00:17:31
Gnome the Homeland Security Secretary
00:17:34
say what happened in Texas was perfect
00:17:37
and they want to do that in other
00:17:38
states. I'm like just stop it. That's
00:17:40
not what we I I'm sick and tired of the
00:17:43
thoughts and prayers. Look at our
00:17:45
bracelets. Like like let's take action.
00:17:47
government needs to work. Like, what are
00:17:48
we doing here? Like, let's actually help
00:17:51
the people by trying to save their lives
00:17:53
in the first place and taking
00:17:55
accountability when things go wrong. How
00:17:57
about we do that? Anyway, that's the
00:17:59
background of Melania. A deeper dive
00:18:01
than you probably ever thought. Let me
00:18:02
know what you think. And again, she's
00:18:04
she's posting about how she met Donald
00:18:07
Trump at the KitKat Club when he was
00:18:08
with another girl at the club. Hell,
