Trump TERRIFIED by SHOCKING Epstein Announcement

Brian, by now we're all used to just truly insane shit coming out of this White House on a daily basis, but I'm not exaggerating when I say that when I saw this clip from earlier, I genuinely did not think it could be real. Let's watch.

I have never had any knowledge of Epstein abuse of his victims. I was not a participant, was never on Epstein's plane, and never visited his private island. My email reply to Maxwell cannot be characterized as anything more than casual correspondence. Several individuals and companies have been legally obligated to publicly apologize and retract their lies about me, such as Daily Beast, James Carville, and HarperCollins UK.

So for context, those remarks from the First Lady.

What context?

Isn't the whole point?

I'm giving you all like I came out of literally nowhere. Like we happened to have Fox News on in our office. I glanced over, I saw Melania talking. I saw a chyron that said, first lady statement on Jeffrey Epstein. So I turned up the volume thinking like,

oh, this must be a segment on like a AI deep fake of her giving a speech about Jeffrey Epstein. Nope, it was that. What do you think happened?

I think she's probably front running something that hasn't yet happened because otherwise it would be really bizarre to call a press conference where you just want to let people know to stop talking about the thing that they hadn't been talking about

only up until the very moment that you decided to talk about it.

Yep.

So in her statement, she goes, 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 and Palm Beach. Ma'am, we know your husband was like one of his closest friends.

He's in the Epstein files 38,000 times. I think that we just ran into them at parties ship has kind of sailed at this point.

Some of the parties were at your house or at Mar-a-Lago. I mean, a person in the political world told me he thinks Melania is trying to get ahead of something from Michael Wolff, who is a longtime friend.

Do not pay attention to whatever Michael Wolff might say in the next 24 to 48 hours.

Oh, boy, we're gonna get a lot of that today.

It is all a lie.

Mork and Mindy voice.

Um... I'm working Mindy voice. But like now reporters are gonna go nuts digging into Trump and Epstein again, but any connection to her and Epstein again?

The weird thing is these people, like the Trump administration for all of their faults of which there are many, we talk about them on a daily basis. They're very good at figuring out how to point the media in certain directions.

Like they're much better at navigating the media than just about anybody else in politics is. And yet, you know, not just with this Melania thing that we just watched, but a lot of what we're seeing lately has been such a ham-handed inability to navigate the media. But like this, this is, you know, textbook Streisand effect

where she's saying, you know, Peino is trying to front run this thing and all it's gonna do is make sure that people are talking about it even more, make sure that people are looking into her own associations with Epstein and Glenn Maxwell even more. And they wouldn't have done it

if she hadn't called this press conference.

It would be like Michelle Obama walking out to the Rose Garden and being like, I did not do Benghazi and then walking back into the White House. Wait, I'm sorry, ma'am. It's so weird, all the coverage now is on how-

What now?

My potential association with Benghazi.

This is outrageous. The New York Times reported, they said the following quote, "'It was not clear why she chose to speak out now or to what report she was referring.' A spokesperson for Mrs. Trump said the president was aware that his wife was going to make that statement. But check out this report from Jackie Almany at MSNOW.

Yeah, Nicole, that is the question that we're all asking today. In fact, I just got off a very quick call before we went to air with President Trump, who said he was in the middle of a war meeting and that he couldn't talk for very long and had to go, but that actually he had no prior knowledge to the topic that Melania Trump, his wife, was going to be touching upon today in his statement. In her statement, he then repeated that he had to go before we hung up the phone. He said that she didn't know him, presumably referring to Jeffrey Epstein.

So again, that clears things up. I love that Melania decided to put forward a distraction from the previous distraction from the Epstein files.

We had to go to war with Iran to distract from the Epstein files, but then the Iran war got so bad, we had to tack back.

That's right. You know it's bad when you're distracting from the distraction.

Yeah, I love that Trump's be like,

hey lady, I'm in a war meeting.

I gotta run. Is it not called a war meeting? Is that not what they call it? I'm gonna tell this reporter I'm in a war meeting, okay? You guys don't have to say anything. You know he's like, fuck, she didn't want it. Hey, so a question about the press conference your wife just held about Epstein.

You're like, what, what?

He's like, I'm in a war meeting, but I'll call you back.

Crazy, by the like, more war, blow up the power plants. You know, the interesting thing about all of this is

I think the subtext for the Melania statement here was, which was like, I wasn't friends with Jeffrey Epstein. I had no knowledge of what was happening with Jeffrey Epstein. There's no link between me and Jeffrey Epstein, is that, well, all of those things

can't be said of your husband. And so, you know, the irony here is that she's really just inadvertently putting on full display the extent to which her husband is culpable of all of the things that she's trying to limit her own culpability for.

And she's like, oh yeah, Congress should have hearings.

Oh man, and that was the most insane part where she was like, now is the time for Congress to act. Congress already acted. They passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. It's the executive branch. It's your husband who's been suppressing these files. Yeah, but like, look, Pam Bondi is an appendage of Trump. And Todd Blanch-

That's gross by the way.

Don't say appendage to me again.

Pam Bondi is an-

I don't want to think about an appendage to Trump

ever again.

She is a growth on Trump's body. She is an offshoot of his, growing out of his epidermis. Yeah, Pam Bondi doesn't have any autonomy, just like Todd Blanch won't have any autonomy. They're there expressly because they'll do Trump's bidding. And so the notion that you can say that Congress needs to act

when Congress has already passed this law that was signed by Trump four months ago and yet the executive branch still won't release three million files. I mean, it's just, it reeks of just like shamelessness.

And she's like, my husband must act. Brian, allow me to read to you. So Melania in that statement references an email she sent to Ghislaine Maxwell that was released via the Epstein files release. I'm going to read it to you verbatim. In Melania's voice. I can't do that. But here's how it here's how it goes. Dear G, how are you? Nice story about J.E. in New York magazine. Jeffrey Epstein, you look great on the picture. Sick. Quick editor's note here. That was the New York New York magazine story where Trump is quoted saying, I've known years, terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It's even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do.

And many of them are on the younger side.

He's like, it was a great read.

That's what he said in the article that she liked.

Yeah.

Back to the email. I know you were very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. back in New York, have a great time, love Melania. Maxwell called Melania sweet pea in her email to her. So it seems friendly. It seems both like an eighth grader writing home from camp and friendly.

Look, is it friendlier than what I would consider an acquaintance? Yes. I mean, we're a little bit parsing here. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. I mean, like the notion that these people, that the Trump family had no idea who the Epsteins were

is completely like, you know, is just completely ridiculous. There are countless pictures of Trump and Melania with either Epstein and or Maxwell. And look, frankly, you know, Melania's connection to these people, not withstanding, again, if she really has a problem with any of this,

go, you know, when it comes time to go to sleep at night, go to the spare bedroom wherever Trump sleeps and knock on the door and tell him to do something about it because he's the one who has unilateral authority to actually do something that Melania claims to want done.

Maybe get Ghislaine out of her like sweetheart deal, like country club prison.

Yeah, I mean like it's not Congress's, Congress doesn't have oversight of the Bureau of Prisons. No. You know, like it's not Congress whose decision it was to wave around fake binders. It's not Congress's decision to redact the names

of Epstein's accomplices, but show the names of the victims. It's not Congress's decision to continue to suppress these files four months after this whole thing was released. This has been Donald Trump and his executive branch every single step of the way. So again, Melania, you might wanna like,

instead of doing these public press conferences, pick up your phone and text your husband.

We are trying to build progressive, independent media companies that actually cover all this shit, you know? Don't look away and don't just crank out pro-war propaganda like Fox News. So please, subscribe. I wanna read you something a little less friendly

than that email. This is, these are some passages from a Truth Social post from Trump that he posted earlier on Thursday. This is all verbatim. I did cut a little bit of it because it was so long. I didn't know if we'd have the time.

Here we go.

In Melania's voice.

This is Trump, and I'm not going to do a Trump voice. I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think for Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror to have a nuclear weapon. When you read these things out loud, you just really, he's just, he's illiterate. Back to the post. Because they have one thing in common, low IQs. They're stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it too. Look at their past, look at their record. They don't have what it takes, they their jobs, and aren't even invited on TV because nobody cares about them. They're nut jobs, troublemakers, and will say anything necessary for some free and cheap

publicity. Brian, your response.

I think that this is just the latest iteration of the fact that if you don't give 100% blind servility to Donald Trump, then you get thrown into the bus with everybody else. I mean, we have seen, this is the tale as old as time in Trump's Washington, DC, from Michael Cohen, George Papadopoulos, Gordon Sondland, Kayleigh McEnany, Ronna McDaniel, you know, Kristi Noem, Mike Pence.

The marching Taylor Green. The real greatest hits, a blast from the pastor.

And it goes on and on and on and these people are just recognizing that, you know, again, if you're not just gonna grovel at his feet and give him 100% loyalty, then you're persona non grata in today's GOP. But the irony of all of this is that like, they're upset with Trump for not holding true to the thing that he promised when he was on the campaign trail.

He was the one who said no new wars when I'm in office. He was the one who said, we're gonna bring gas prices down. He was the one who said, we're gonna lower costs for everybody. They're just saying, we believed you, sir. And they were dumb enough to believe him. And now they have, because they have the audacity to push back

on Donald Trump doing the thing he swore he wouldn't do.

Threatening genocide against the country. And threatening genocide, yeah. That is apparently grounds for Trump to just completely write these people off. And look, this isn't to like defend-

You love them.

Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly and Alex Jones.

You always talk about Alex Jones staying at your house.

Alex Jones staying at my house.

When he does come to LA, he needs a place to stay.

He's running low on cash.

Yeah, well, that's true. And probably even lower after today. But so this isn't to defend them, but it's just like, look, these people, these people, again, were dumb enough to believe you when you made your promises on the campaign trail and now you are punishing your own people.

And so, you know, I waffle between telling those, you know, the Tucker Carlson's and Candace Owens and Alex Jones of the world, like, what did you expect? Did you not know? Did you not know?

Did you not know?

I say, welcome to the party. The tent is big.

And that's the flip side of it.

Keep saying what you're saying. Tell your audience what you think. I love it. This message continues. Can I read you a little bit? Magda agrees with me and just gave CNN hand flailing fools like Tucker Carlson, who couldn't even finish college. He was a broken man when he got fired from Fox

and he's never been the same. Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist. It's good advice for you too, sir. Or Megyn Kelly, who nastily asked me the now famous only Rosie O'Donnell question or crazy Candace Owens,

who accuses the highly respected first lady of France of being a man when she is not and will hopefully win lots of money in the ongoing lawsuit. Actually, to me, the first lady of France is a far more beautiful woman than Candace. In fact, it's not even close. Or bankrupt Alex Jones, who says some of the dumbest things and lost his entire fortune, as he should have

for his horrendous attack on the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, ridiculously claiming it was a hoax. These so-called pundits are losers and they always will be. Brian, spot the lie.

Well, see, that's the thing, like, you know what? Broken clock, right? Like that's the one thing where I'm just like,

ah, he's got a point.

It's like- That part is all true.

Like unloading the clip and I'm like-

Yeah, yeah.

This is like one of those instances where I'm like, you know, watching both sides. I'm like, you know, let him let him fight. Let him fight. I'm just going to sit here with some popcorn.

The boys are fighting.

Yeah.

It continues. They are not MAGA. They're losers. They're just trying to latch on to MAGA. As president, I could get them on my side anytime I want to. a few times they go to nasty, just like Marjorie Trader Brown. But I no longer care about that stuff. I only care about doing right for our country. MAGA is about winning and strength

and not allowing Iran to have a nuclear weapon. MAGA is about making America great again. And these people have no idea to do that. But I do because the United States is now the hottest country anywhere in the world. President Donald J. Trump. Brian, how hot are we? We are so hot. Smoking hot. Smoking hot. Look, I think- LA, eight and a half, nine?

In LA, eight and a half, and we are-

America is.

We are in LA, nine and a half right here.

I love what he's like, he wrote like a long op-ed about how much he hates these people and he ends up with, but I don't care. Too busy doing war stuff. I'm in the war meeting, honey.

Call you back.

I'm not mad.

Don't write that I'm mad.

Don't write that I'm mad. It's just like insane shit happening.

That part is where I think he kind of like gave the game away because he goes, these people are not MAGA. But again, they're upset because he's doing the very thing that he swore he wouldn't do, that he swore that Obama would do. Yeah, I mean, MAGA is supposed to be this America first, no new foreign wars, you know, movement. And yet all that we've seen since Trump took office is cutting healthcare, cutting food assistance, raising prices, inflation's on the rise, gas prices are even higher, and yet all of our money is getting diverted

from domestic priorities into the Middle East.

Yeah. Bombs, $1.5 trillion budget request for the Pentagon and another 200 billion to pay for the war in Iran. What are we doing? Yeah. This country has lost its mind.

Brian, speaking of which, I wanna conclude our time together by showing you some excerpts of an interview that a Republican congressman named Tim Burchett did with TMZ News. Burchett is a very conservative Republican representing Eastern Tennessee. He's got kind of a weird independent streak that's interesting.

Let's watch. What I want to make sure I'm there is a form of alien life and machinery which maybe brought this living creature here that interacted in some form with people?

Yeah, they have. And they've, it's pretty wild, I know. I know. A very high ranking naval official described, you know, I've talked about this before. Underwater craft, something big as a football field, moving it over 200 miles an hour at day. And there's no fish in the ocean that would do that. We don't even have a sub that'll probably do 40 miles an hour under the.

And the last thing he said before he left my office was he was kind of weird because he didn't go out the even out the side doors. Nobody ever uses. And he looked at me, pulled me up because he said, Tim, they're real.

All right, big shot. You want to make any more alien news?

The fuck did I just watch?

It's a member of Congress. Also, Matt Gaetz said he was briefed on a secret program where aliens were breeding with humans to make a hybrid race.

Oh, that's where Matt Gaetz came from.

His dating pool.

Yeah, Matt Gaetz went to the dating pool.

Dang an ET.

What, yeah, what?

These people, there's an elected official.

Yeah, I- Maybe, I don't people, there's an elected official. Yeah, I-

Maybe, I don't know, maybe he knows something.

Like, you know, ever since my question for Obama, my algorithm has been a little bit different.

A little alien skewed?

Little bit alien skewed.

Listeners might know that Brian asked President Obama a question about aliens that was like erroneously taken as Obama confirming the existence of artificial life. And for a brief period of time, I think it was the biggest news story in the world. I was in Australia and it was everywhere.

Yeah.

So that was a little bit of a mistake.

No mistake.

It was great.

But like, you know, I have seen, I've seen, I've seen a lot and apparently like, man, there there's so much, like I've, I've taken these, I've fallen into these deep rabbit holes. Do you know that even if aliens or other worlds could see us, had the technology to see what's happening on earth because of the speed with which light travels, they're not even seeing

us right now. They're seeing like dinosaurs roaming the earth. Yeah, it's wild. And the same for us, if we're able to like, I mean, anyway, you know, Neil deGrasse Tyson doesn't think that aliens are real, I think.

So that's just generally like where I stand. I have nothing to add.

That I just, you know, the aliens debate, we'll do another video on that. I just enjoyed that member of Congress saying all that shit. You remember- I really thought he was going to say, he goes out of a side door that nobody ever uses

and he left and I opened the door and he was gone.

He just levitated. Do you see the FEMA guy who said he like levitated 40 miles into like an IHOP or like a Waffle House?

I think a Waffle House.

Yeah, that makes more sense actually.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I have been in a state like that and ended up in Waffle House. I have too, several times. And I don't even live in the South.

I don't know how the fuck I got here,

but I'm about to levitate.

Like I live in Jersey. How'd I get into Georgia?

God knows those Panama City Beach spring breaks. I can only assume I got there by levitation, four o'clock in the morning eating waffles.

Yeah, we've all been there. Timberchat was one of the Republican reps who voted to push Kevin McCarthy out of the speaker job back in 2023. And do you remember the story where like an NPR reporter was interviewing a member of Congress and Kevin McCarthy in a security detail walked by and like body checked him?

I know. That was Timberchat.

I don't even remember that.

You got kind of beat up. Yeah.

Well, I guess who's got the last laugh now? Aliens. Aliens do not. Nobody, I guess we can say with some confidence that if you're still working in Congress, that you don't have the last laugh. If you're in the Republican conference in this Congress.

Yeah.

Well, that was fun. Thanks for watching this episode of whatever we do here.

Please subscribe to this channel and whatever you do, Please subscribe to this channel and whatever you do, do not pay attention to what Michael Wolff says about me in the next 24 to 48 hours.
