And with that, 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: Welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ, where we 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: ask and I asked Robes what just happened? We were 5 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: waiting for some press announcement from Milania Trump. 6 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 2: What just happened? 7 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,479 Speaker 3: I actually don't really have words, because no one was 8 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 3: expecting Malania Trump to speak about something that President Trump 9 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 3: has been trying to distance himself from desperately for since 10 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 3: the beginning of his administration, to the point where some 11 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,279 Speaker 3: folks would even say he might have even started a 12 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 3: war or invaded multiple countries to avoid or to shift 13 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 3: the topic from Jeffrey Epstein. 14 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: Whatever he did worked because it has not been the 15 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: headline for a while, right, Robes, that's correct until today 16 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: at two thirty Eastern time. 17 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: Robes, I ask again, what just happened? 18 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 3: I cannot get my head around or find a plausible, 19 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 3: reasonable explanation as to why the first lady would get 20 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 3: in front of a podium and start telling the world 21 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 3: that she has nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein, that 22 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 3: she's never been friends with him, that she wasn't introduced 23 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 3: to her husband, President Trump, by him. 24 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 4: And then while. 25 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 3: She's making all of these denials of claims I didn't 26 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 3: even know she was being accused of or that anyone 27 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 3: was even talking about. 28 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 4: And she pimps out her book in the. 29 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 3: Middle of it, which was a weird little morsel to drop, Hey. 30 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna let you hear every single word. It was 31 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: a short statement that she read it. It won't take 32 00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,919 Speaker 1: us long to read it. It took her a little 33 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: longer because she English is not her first language, and 34 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: she took her time with it throughout. But Robes, to 35 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: your point, still Epstein, Why did the first Lady of 36 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: the United States just put the Epstein story back front 37 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: and center at a White House that has been trying 38 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: to get away from it for a long time. She 39 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: just brought this up to the top. And if we 40 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: haven't mentioned folks, she's also said in her statement she 41 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: wants the victims, the survivors to come testify openly in Congress. 42 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: Robes, what just happened? 43 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 4: I don't know. 44 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 3: Did she and President Trump get into a big fight 45 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 3: and she just decided to drop a big fu on 46 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 3: him to let him know what power she actually does have, 47 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 3: Because that's honestly the most reasonable explanation I can give 48 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 3: as a woman, because I'm trying to imagine any scenario 49 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 3: in which politically this makes sense for President Trump, for 50 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 3: the Trump administration. There is no answer to that other 51 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 3: than this is a woman who is pissed at her husband. 52 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: Or she's pissed at how she's being covered. She's pissed 53 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: that she's not getting support from the White House, and 54 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: she wants to do things on her own, in her 55 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: own way. But she's defending herself against an attack that 56 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 1: the rest of us aren't necessarily feeling. She mentioned several 57 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: times in several things, I there's something she's feeling about 58 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 1: the Epstein's story that's coming down on her that she 59 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: felt today she wanted to defend. Why today, Why in 60 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: the midst of everything going on, Why when the Epstein 61 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: story is not dogging her president or her husband right now? 62 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: Why bring this back right now? 63 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, it makes no sense. 64 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 3: We haven't been talking about Epstein now for the past 65 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 3: several weeks because of what's happening in Aran. There are 66 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 3: much now more significant pressing concerning issues to deal with, 67 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 3: so Epstein has been put on the back burner. Why 68 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 3: bring it now back into the forefront when this was 69 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 3: and will be I'm sure the biggest thorn in President 70 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 3: Trump's side. Why does she need to defend herself from 71 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 3: allegations we didn't even know we're being hurled against her recently. 72 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 3: At least some of this stuff is old. Some of 73 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 3: this stuff has been put to bed a long time ago. 74 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 3: Most of this stuff, I would say, all of this 75 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 3: stuff isn't being currently discussed in the around the water 76 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 3: coolers of America. 77 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: They're somewhere in some circle. She feels like it is, 78 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: and she felt like she needed to speak today. We're 79 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: gonna let you hear now her words. This is every 80 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: word that she spoke at the White House. Again, we 81 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: only got word late morning. I think it was Robes 82 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: that she was going to be making a statement two 83 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,799 Speaker 1: thirty Eastern time from the White House. Had no idea 84 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: what this was going to be about, but collected all 85 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: the reporters there to cover her statement. Now she walks 86 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: out Robes. It looked exactly like one of his walkouts 87 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: for a presidential speech to talk about war. I'm just 88 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: setting the scene for you if you haven't seen it. 89 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 2: She did. They open these doors, She did a long, 90 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 2: very presidential walk to the podium. 91 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 3: It was a powerful formal walk. She was in a 92 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 3: business suit. 93 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: It's set a tone for what we were about to hear. 94 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: But I still wasn't expecting this. 95 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like boss lady just walked in. 96 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 3: Was that was the vibe I saw when she was 97 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 3: walking in And this is what she said, Good afternoon. 98 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 3: The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need 99 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 3: to end today. 100 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 4: Man. 101 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 3: When she said that first sentence, we were all like, 102 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 3: what is it about to happen? 103 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 2: Because you know where is what is happening and why 104 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 2: is it happening? Now? Got our attention? 105 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 4: Okay. 106 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 3: She goes on to say the individuals lying about me 107 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 3: are devoid of ethical standards, humility, and respect. I do 108 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 3: not object to their ignorance, but rather I reject their 109 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 3: mean spirited attempts to defame my reputation. I have never 110 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 3: been friends with Epstein. Donald and I were invited to 111 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 3: the same parties as Epstein from time to time, since 112 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 3: overlapping in social circles is common in New York City 113 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 3: and Palm Beach. To be clear, I never had a 114 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 3: relationship with Epstein or his accomplice Maxwell. My email replied 115 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 3: to Maxwell cannot be categorized as anything more than casual correspondence. 116 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 3: My polite reply to her email doesn't amount to anything 117 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 3: more than a trivial note. I'm gonna stop here. What 118 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 3: is she talking about? 119 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: It came out in the Epstein files, all those There 120 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: was some email exchange in which Glaye Maxwell called her 121 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: sweetie or something like that, and it was just it 122 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: was coquially, it was sweet. It was no, it wasn't 123 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: the end of the world, but she it seemed friendlier 124 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: than she would suggest, okaytionship. 125 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 3: To your point, it was released during the Epstein file dump. 126 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 3: I never saw one article written about it. I'm just 127 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 3: saying nobody was talking about it. So it's interesting that 128 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 3: she felt like this was something she could reference and 129 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 3: everybody would know what she was talking about. I'll be honest, 130 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 3: I did not, all right, She goes on to say, 131 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 3: I am not Epstein's victim. 132 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 4: Huh. 133 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 3: Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump. I met 134 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 3: my husband by chance at a New York City party 135 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 3: in nineteen ninety eight. This initial encounter with my husband 136 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 3: is documented in detail in my book Mulania. At what 137 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 3: point we will look at each other and just said 138 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 3: she did not just see that. 139 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: You stop there. Yeah, we need to What do we 140 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 2: do baby with that? 141 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: I mean, that's terrible. No, I mean, okay, look, okay, 142 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: I'm trying. Let me try to give her a little grace. 143 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: It was detailed in my book. It was detailed, or 144 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: has been detailed and documented plenty. I wrote about it myself, 145 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: even in my book by putting the title something about 146 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: a scene promotional. 147 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 3: Exactly when you just said that in those different versions 148 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 3: that did not seem as blatantly self promotional. 149 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 4: When you drop the name. 150 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 3: I actually, I think I said when we were listening 151 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 3: and can be found anywhere books are sold. 152 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 4: You know, that's what it sounded like. 153 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 2: It did. I didn't. 154 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 4: I don't, all right, I'll continue. 155 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: It felt it felt gross. I'm just it just felt gross, 156 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 2: it did. 157 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 3: All right, she continues. The first time I crossed paths 158 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 3: with Epstein was in the year two thousand, at an 159 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 3: event Donald and I attended together. At the time, I 160 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 3: had never met Epstein and had no knowledge of his 161 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 3: criminal undertakings. Numerous fake images and statements about Epstein and 162 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,559 Speaker 3: me have been circulating on social media for years. Now 163 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 3: be cautious about what you believe. These images and stories 164 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 3: are completely false. Again though, she references that this has 165 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 3: been going on for years now, and that begs the 166 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 3: question that we've all been asking this entire time. Why 167 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 3: now are you talking about this. 168 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what her plan was with this statement. 169 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: I had no idea about what she's talking about. Now 170 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: I want to go google all of it exactly. I mean, 171 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: she's told everybody to go look at something that maybe 172 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: we weren't looking at. I don't know the motivation behind this, 173 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: but it's something Again, maybe we aren't keeping as close 174 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: up an eye on something that's been bubbling out there, 175 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: but we have a decent handle on news. 176 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 3: This has not been anything that has been a. 177 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 4: TikTok trend, an ex trend. 178 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,719 Speaker 3: I mean, we do check all of those things, not 179 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 3: just the mainstream publications and pop culture sites. 180 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 4: But this is not something we have been seeing in 181 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 4: any way, shape or form. 182 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 3: So it's just it's curious why suddenly she now wants 183 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 3: to talk about something like this and references all of 184 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 3: it as if we're we're on the same page. This 185 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 3: is strange, all right, she continues, I am not a 186 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 3: witness or a named witness in connection with any of 187 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 3: Epstein's crimes. My name has never appeared in court documents, depositions, 188 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 3: victim statements, or FBI interviews surrounding the Epstein matter. Yeah, 189 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 3: I think we know that, So I don't know why 190 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 3: she needs to say this. She goes on to say, 191 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 3: I have never had any knowledge of Epstein's abuse of 192 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 3: his victims. I was never involved in any capacity. I 193 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 3: was not a participant, was never on Epstein's plane, and 194 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 3: never visited his private island. I have never been legally 195 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 3: accused or convicted of a crime in connection with Epstein's 196 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 3: sex trafficking, abusive miners, and other repulsive behavior. The false 197 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 3: smears about me from mean spirited and politically motivated individuals 198 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 3: and entities looking to cause damage to my good name 199 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 3: to gain financially and climb politically must stop. My attorneys 200 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 3: and I have fought these unfounded and baseless lies with success, 201 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 3: and will continue to maintain my sound reputation without hesitation. 202 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 3: To date, several individuals and companies have been legally obligated 203 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 3: to publicly apologize and retract their lives about me, such 204 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 3: as The Daily Beast James Carville and Harper Collins UK. 205 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 3: Now is the time for Congress to act. Epstein was 206 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 3: not alone, Okay, several prominent male executives resigned from their 207 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 3: powerful positions after this matter became widely politicized. Of course, 208 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 3: this doesn't amount to guilt, but we still must work 209 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 3: openly and transparently to uncover the truth. 210 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 4: And here's where she surprised us even more. 211 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,599 Speaker 3: I call on Congress to provide the women who have 212 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 3: been victimized by Epstein with a public hearing specifically centered 213 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 3: around the survivors. Give these victims their opportunity to testify 214 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 3: under oath in front of Congress with the power of 215 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 3: sworn testimony. Each and every woman should have her day 216 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 3: to tell her story in public if she wishes, and 217 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 3: then her testimony should be permanently entered into the Congressional record. 218 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 3: Then and only then will we have the truth. 219 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 1: It's pretty big, wow, a pretty big while if the 220 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: first lady just called for that, given who her husband 221 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: is and where he sits in the middle of this 222 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: whole Epstein saga, and we, if we didn't mention before, 223 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: already robes that yes, it's being reported as the President 224 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: had a heads up she was going to do this, 225 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: as if this was her plan, and he was only 226 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: alerted to it, not consulted about it. Now that's initial 227 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: reporting about this. But Robes, how how if he knew, 228 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: how could he not going say, babe, why don't you 229 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: just give it a couple of days? Okay, just let 230 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: me handle a few things. I know you upset, but 231 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: just can we just please? 232 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 4: So I'm going to go back to my original theory 233 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 4: after it. 234 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 3: And I'm curious what other people think who are listening 235 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 3: to this, because. 236 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 4: What could have been her motivation? 237 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 3: I cannot imagine that President Trump would have been okay 238 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 3: with this, and I just can't think of another reason 239 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 3: other than this was deliberate, intentional, and potentially even directed 240 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 3: in anger. 241 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: Now that is I find that to be. Something about 242 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: your theory warms my heart. And I say that because 243 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: you brought this back to a very much human level, 244 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: a level of relationship a husband and a wife, and 245 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: there's a beef in their relationship just like any other, except. 246 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 2: The stakes so much higher. 247 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: Yes, when one gets pissed, there's something about your theory 248 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: that I actually appreciate. However, there is another theory the 249 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: Robes and I haven't. We hadn't even considered until my 250 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: sister put this theory in our head just a minute ago. 251 00:13:52,200 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: Stay here, I will continue here on Amy and TJ. 252 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: We oftentimes folks will let you know, we do several 253 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: different episodes and we have to decide where they're going 254 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: to go. Do they go into our news feed, does 255 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: it go into our relationship feed? Does it go into 256 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: a crime feed that we have. And it's amazing rogues 257 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: this story now about Malania Trump could end up in 258 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: the relationship feed based on what your theory is. Possibly 259 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: that she came out and spoke her mind today because 260 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: she is pissed in some way at her husband. 261 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 3: Yes, and perhaps maybe she thinks that I don't know, 262 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 3: nothing was done or not enough was done to protect 263 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 3: her from being even in any way, shape or form 264 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 3: mentioned as a part of this story. But it's just 265 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 3: I think the reason why my brain went there just 266 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 3: because not only does it not make sense for her 267 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 3: husband politically, but just the timing of it. Unless we're 268 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 3: all missing some big headline that was released in some 269 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 3: obscure country that we haven't picked up on yet, we 270 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 3: know of a headline that would have warranted a response 271 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 3: like this now. Obviously, if there had been some awful 272 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 3: accusation of you know, hurled at her and then she 273 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 3: came out and did this, that would make sense. But 274 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 3: I can't see anywhere where anyone who's picked up on 275 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 3: something she's specifically reacting to that we just aren't aware of. 276 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: And so as we're looking for theory and we're thinking 277 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: we're crazy. So we've talked to been talking about this today, 278 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: Robaka and Ira in Northwest Arkansas at University of Arkansas, 279 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: my alma mater, spending the weekend several days here, got 280 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: family around here with my sister. We were all, look, 281 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: we're all aware, smart, informed people, and we're all trying 282 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: to come up with some theory like why would she 283 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: do this now? And we're trying to figure it out. 284 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: We start watching several other news channels, just going back 285 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: and forth and making sure we weren't missing something. We 286 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: do that sometimes like absolutely, wait a minute, it's got 287 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: to be right there in our face. All of them 288 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: are dumbfounded as well. Nobody can figure out. Nobody figure 289 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: out why. And then my sister says something and both 290 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: of us went, oh, that's probably it. That makes sense, 291 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: And she said wait, for it. There's probably something coming 292 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: that she knows and she's getting ahead of it. 293 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 3: And that would be really smart. I said, ooh, wild Tish, 294 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 3: I think you might have nailed it. That is that 295 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 3: would make sense as well. But it has to be 296 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 3: something like that because out of the blue. 297 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 4: Look, the timing of it just is a head scratcher. 298 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 3: So yes, if she's getting ahead of something, that would 299 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 3: make sense, or if she's trying to pay back something 300 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 3: that might make sense too. 301 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 4: But those are the only two. That's the only two 302 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 4: things I've got that would make any sense. 303 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: Okay, I will leave room for one other possibility that 304 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: this was just on her heart and this has just 305 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: been weighing her down, and this is just she's had enough. 306 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 2: And the world goes on. 307 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if my husband is bombing a civilization 308 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: out of existence, it doesn't matter or what was happening anywhere. 309 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: The world continues to move, and this is a part 310 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: of my world, and this is on I've been holding. 311 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 2: Off long enough, and today is the day. 312 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: Is that possible that she's just genuinely sick of it 313 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: or sick of something that she wanted to speak today? 314 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 3: My cynical self can't, can't, can't really give that much weight. 315 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 3: But yes, maybe there is a teeny tiny version of 316 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 3: the world where that could exist. But how much do 317 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 3: you think President Trump knew about the content? I mean, 318 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 3: obviously they had been promoting this all morning long, so 319 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 3: it's not like he was blindsided. I mean, I believe 320 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 3: as early as seven o'clock this morning, we were hearing 321 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 3: that she was going to make an announcement, So obviously 322 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 3: he was aware she was presenting something. 323 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 4: I would assume he would know what she was saying. 324 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: And couldn't stop her from saying it, didn't mind her 325 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: saying it. Maybe this is a part of a whole 326 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: strategy and we are being played once again falling for it. 327 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,239 Speaker 1: Who knows, because you know what we haven't mentioned in 328 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: this twenty minute episode is the season run that ten 329 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,959 Speaker 1: point plan talking about Malania. We're back to Epstein. They're like, 330 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: who we got Epstein headlines again? 331 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. If that's where we are, we've got 332 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 3: bigger problems. But yes, this was a very interesting press conference. 333 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 3: I don't think one that any of us could have 334 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 3: seen coming, and certainly as it was happening, we're still 335 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 3: questioning what we were actually hearing. 336 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 4: But look, it's never boring. 337 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 2: How about that. 338 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 4: We always appreciate you listening to us. Everyone I maybe 339 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 4: robot alongside TJ. Holmes. We will talk to you soon.
