Transcript

SPEAKER_05 0:11

Welcome to faith, fiction, and folklore, or as we like to call it, the Tryad Podcast, where we try not to mess the podcast up. Hello, MVP Beans. He's like, oh no, I'm watching something right now. Sorry! I know, I know. We're having a weird, we're had a weird day, or had a weird weekend that I had to make up for. Because there was a bunch of stuff I wanted to talk about, and then I didn't get to show up Saturday, so I was like, well, I guess we'll do it one Monday if we have to. So here we are.

SPEAKER_03 0:42

Here we are.

SPEAKER_05 0:45

It's good to see you, MPP. We appreciate it, Mr. Beads. So, Trevor, how are you tonight?

SPEAKER_03 0:52

I'm good, I'm good. And your mic is on, and my mic is on. Good.

SPEAKER_05 1:01

We got him this time around. So, anyway, are you ready, good sir?

SPEAKER_03 1:07

Are you talking to me?

SPEAKER_05 1:08

I am.

SPEAKER_03 1:09

I think I'm ready.

SPEAKER_05 1:11

You think you're ready? No, you're making me nervous. You're making me nervous, Trevor.

SPEAKER_03 1:16

That's why I'm here. Make you nervous. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:21

Why don't you want to keep?

SPEAKER_05 1:24

Let's just get on with it. Okay. So, yeah, Melania. Melania. So you are aware of what happened, right? There are some other pictures or some more nonsense that came out. I don't believe for a second she was actually working for Trump, like Epstein or anything like that. I I'm not concerned about that. So Yeah, that's as far as I heard that she apparent yeah, but apparently the pressure's been getting some uh momentum. And so they she released a statement. And then she added something else quite interesting, and this has caused even more speculation. It's a little old news at this point, but it's causing more speculation.

SPEAKER_03 2:02

So what was the statement?

SPEAKER_05 2:05

The statement was she had nothing to do with Epstein, and then on top of that, she said that the victims ought to have a statement before Congress. They ought to get their day in court. You know? So uh yeah. And that has caused all sorts of speculation. So I thought we would watch her speech and then react. So what do you say to that, good sir?

SPEAKER_03 2:30

I say let the woman talk.

SPEAKER_05 2:32

Let the woman talk.

SPEAKER_03 2:36

Who's without sending cast first?

SPEAKER_05 2:39

He is without sending. I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_03 2:42

Jesus said that.

SPEAKER_05 2:43

I know, but she didn't do anything wrong, so I don't know how the it doesn't matter. We're just gonna watch this. So First Lady Melania Trump. So Arts Artismite. I I don't know how to say your name, sir. Uh he says in the plagiarized Bible. I'm not sure what you're referring to, but I'm sure you're more than welcome to elaborate. Anyway, moving on.

SPEAKER_00 3:30

Humility and respect. I do not object to their 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 and Palm Beach. To be clear, I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice Maxwell. My email reply to Maxwell cannot be categorized as anything more than casual correspondence. My polite reply to her email doesn't amount to anything more than a trial note. I am not Epstein's victim. Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump. I met my husband by chance at the New York City party in 1998. This initial encounter with my husband is documented in a detail in my book, Melania.

SPEAKER_05 5:01

You got a thought, good sir?

SPEAKER_03 5:04

Was it an Epstein party? That was just my thought.

SPEAKER_05 5:10

I do not know. I do not know. You can look it up, but we finish it up really quick, though. I gotta fix uh I gotta fix more chap crap here. So we'll finish this up first.

SPEAKER_00 5:23

With Epstein was in the year 2000 at an event Donald and I attended together. At a time I had never met Epstein and had no knowledge of his criminal undertakings. Numerous fake images and statements about Epstein and me have been calculating on social media for years now. Be cautious about what you believe. Its images and stories are completely false. I'm not a witness or a name witness in connection with any of Epstein's crimes. My name has never appeared in court documents, depositions, victim statements, or FBI in interviews surrounding the Epstein matter. I have never had any knowledge of Epstein abuse of his victims.

SPEAKER_05 6:48

Okay, so I do need to add a point of clarification here. So when I first saw this statement over last week, like the impression that I was under was that she had gone behind Trump's back and had basically said, hey, the victims need to talk. And that was like the big spin that everybody was saying. Listening to it right now, it sounds like it's more of a reaction to you know, basically more of the same generic ac accusations that she worked for Epstein. So this is more of an attempt to kind of shut down those rumors. And the stuff she says about the victims at the end is almost tacked on. That's the impression I'm getting. What are your thoughts, good sir?

SPEAKER_03 7:30

Uh well, I I this is this is the most I've heard about it, so uh I don't really know. You have no thoughts.

SPEAKER_05 7:41

You're a blank Yeah, you're a blank slate of wit and charm.

SPEAKER_03 7:46

I was trying to I was trying to look up the party thing.

SPEAKER_05 7:49

Okay. Arts I cannot read his name. That's driving me nuts. Artismite. Okay, Artemis, let's just say, Artsy. Artsy. Um, are you talking about like a particular version of the Bible, or are you saying the Bible itself does plagiarize? That's driving me nuts, man. I'm like, I don't know what you mean. So anyway. I think he may have left. Is he gone? Okay. So he just he just he just like left a little hate, a little hate comment, and then just yeah, right away.

SPEAKER_03 8:17

Okay. Little hate comment. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 8:20

That's alright. This is YouTube.

SPEAKER_00 8:26

I have never been legally accused or convinced of a crime in connection with abstinent sex trafficking, abuse of minors, and other repulsive behavior. The false smears about me from mean-spirited and politically motivated individuals and entities looking to cause damage to my good name, to gain financially and climb politically must stop. My attorneys and I have fought these unfound and baseless lies with success and will continue to maintain my sound reputation without hesitation. To date, several individuals and companies have been legally obligated to publicly apologize and retract their lies about me, such as Daily Beast, James Carwell, and HarperCollins UK. Now is the time for Congress to act. Epstein was not alone. Several prominent male executives resigned from their powerful positions after this matter became widely politicized. Of course, this doesn't amount to guilt, but we still must work openly and transparently to uncover the truth. Give these victims their opportunity to testify under oath in front of Congress with the power of sworn testimony. Each and every woman should have her day to tell her story in public if she wishes, and then her testimony should be permanently entered into the congressional record. Then and only then we will have the truth. Thank you.

SPEAKER_05 10:47

So that's that First Lady Melania. So the last part where she's like, hey, they need to stand before Congress, is what everybody's talking about. This is obviously something Trump probably doesn't want, considering how much he's fought over the Epstein thing. So there was a lot of speculation. Probably because he's either got buddies on it, or maybe he was even protecting his wife. That's the thing. Like he's obviously protecting somebody, and this kind of gets into the theme of the show. It's like a tale of two Trumps. Like when he does something really stupid, it's because he gets emotional. And I think I think somebody was telling him, like, my my yeah, my theory is that Pam Bondy or somebody like that was sitting there saying that, oh, they've got a bunch of fake stuff about your wife, or a bunch of fake stuff about you, or a bunch of fake stuff about your friends, and then he was like, forget it, until everybody put a bunch of pressure on him, and then he signed Thomas Massey's law, but he still hates Massey because you know it's basically because Massey one-upped him. So he's very mad about that, but he, you know, acquiesced basically. And uh yeah, so I think he was covering it up to try to run cover for her or his friends or something. That's my opinion. Do I know that? No. But people were saying that she did this behind his back, and they're on the verge of getting a divorce and all this crazy stuff, which I don't I'm not sold on that. Especially now after listening to it, because to me it sounds like she was mainly concerned about clearing her name, and she kind of added that at the end. Yeah. I don't think sounded like yeah, I don't think she was boldly marching into the White House and making a speech about Trump's permission, which is kind of how they sold it. It doesn't make sense of what I've seen here.

SPEAKER_03 12:45

So Yeah. If she's at the White House, I doubt she would be going behind his back. That would be difficult to do.

SPEAKER_05 12:55

Yeah, it'd be difficult to pull off, and it just doesn't seem like that was the point. She's just like, hey, let the victims have their say. Like, it's pretty pretty generic. But what was interesting is when we were first trying to find this full speech, everybody and the dog was cutting that part out. I don't know if you recall the the last half of it. Like they were they were all talking about how she was trying to clear her name. So just like all the different news feeds on Twitter or X, they were to they were including the part of the speech where she's like, you know, clearing her name, but the whole hey, let the victims talk, let them sit before Congress, like that was kind of a bugger to find. So I don't know. I I'm gonna say I blame the CIA, it's all a giant conspiracy. But you know, probably. But anyway, it was kind of a bear. But the most, yeah, certainly at the very least, for whatever reason, everybody's been talking about her clearing her name, which does seem to be the main point of the speech. So I don't think now looking at it, I don't think Trump and Melania are having some sort of like secret marital strife or something like that. It doesn't seem like that's what's going on to me. What do you think?

SPEAKER_03 14:10

Everybody loves drama.

SPEAKER_05 14:12

Yeah. As if the Epstein files haven't created enough drama, though. It's like, why do you need to make stuff up? There's already so much going on. But anyway.

SPEAKER_03 14:23

Just like keep adding and adding and adding.

SPEAKER_05 14:27

Right, right. Anywho. So there was that, and then let's see, what else we got here? I think most of the stuff we're gonna be seeing on here is just more of the same. We got leaked audio confirms Epstein slash Melania relationship. Should we?

SPEAKER_03 14:48

Let's try it. Let's try it.

SPEAKER_02 14:51

Oh Lord. Audio has just resurfaced that implicates Melania Trump, Donald Trump, and their connections with Epstein. And is Epstein saying it? You know, are they do these people think we're dumb? Do they think we're dumb? Do they think the internet does not exist? Melania Trump, of course. Oh, sorry, that guy was really loud. Hang on. Said randomly, randomly, out of nowhere. Me and Jeffrey Epstein didn't know each other, and I was not one of his victims. Okay, good to know.

SPEAKER_05 15:22

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, let's see. Let's listen to today census and your name was red.

SPEAKER_02 15:31

Here's someone else's thoughts. Wait, Sarah just made.

SPEAKER_05 15:35

Trevor, we may have been clickbaited. Okay, wait, wait, here we go. Maybe, maybe, maybe. Let's see.

SPEAKER_03 15:43

Everything is clickbaited these things.

SPEAKER_02 15:45

I know, it's awful. Now, as I said, an ad. Melania Trump is implicated by Epstein in this now resurfaced audio where Jeffrey Epstein bragged about his close relationship with the president and the first lady.

SPEAKER_01 16:02

So how do you know this? You probably know he had a scalp reduction. He had a scalp. We can say Michael come up with tell me where it's like what's like that.

SPEAKER_00 16:30

What? What?

SPEAKER_05 16:32

Hang on.

SPEAKER_01 16:34

Tell me, where's like what's like that? Scout production. We have a scout product. And tell me, where's like what's like that? Do I have sex with the wife? How often do you have how serious about it? How often do we have sex with the wife? We like to wipe a rock. We can you and I can go upstairs upstairs or tomorrow, come over. This is girls coming over from Los Angeles, part of the or why I'd traffic. So come over to your car. You're gonna have a great time. I promise you, Michael, you know, it's just me. You're gonna have a great time. Be up here.

SPEAKER_05 17:33

Okay, so far I am not hearing anything that indicates this guy knows Melania. I'm hearing a lot of crass, you know, boy talk, I guess.

SPEAKER_03 17:45

I didn't hear an imminent name, but it sounds like Michael.

SPEAKER_05 17:48

Yeah, he's talking to Michael, and he mentions Trump's male p pattern baldness.

SPEAKER_04 17:55

Like okay.

SPEAKER_05 17:59

I've heard him mention Melania in passing once. I have not heard anything that would make me think Melania is tied to the guy. Anyway.

SPEAKER_03 18:11

Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 18:12

Yeah. Alright, we'll give this another minute and then we're gonna move on, because I think this is just clickbait, honestly.

SPEAKER_01 18:21

The whole time, the turn is because he wants to fight. Oh and the lights are speaking of listening. Well, no, I maybe I think you know. I know you think you're a guy. Michael, like the end of the world, the best guy in the earth, will be America. Just listen to that.

SPEAKER_02 18:59

Right, there you go. And of course, we also have Oh, there we go!

SPEAKER_04 19:03

That proved everything, Trevor!

SPEAKER_03 19:06

There we go.

SPEAKER_04 19:07

Yeah, that's it. Yeah, there we go. Clear as mud! That just proved it all! Wow.

SPEAKER_03 19:16

What did it prove?

SPEAKER_05 19:18

Nothing, Trevor. Not not a thing at all. Yeah, we got Melania denies association with Epstein. The first lady observed the existence of what she called fake images and statements about alleged links with the sexist offender. Uh, it was not immediately clear what the im what images or statements she meant. Yeah, yeah, I'm not. It's just more Yeah, Russia Gate crap, I guess would be the best way to put it. I'm not super yeah, AI stuff, you know, gargly recordings that you can barely understand. Just more of the same. But the more interesting thing is her pushing for the you know, victims to actually talk. Because that gives it legitimacy regardless of what Trump has to say about it. It kind of throws the getting justice for those people back in the limelight, which I think is important. But I I'm not I'm not gonna say that.

SPEAKER_03 20:22

The person who is who I want to hear from is is more of the victimless.

SPEAKER_05 20:26

Who?

SPEAKER_03 20:27

More more of the victimless. Yeah, yeah, like more of their stories.

SPEAKER_05 20:32

Yeah, we need to hear the victim stories exactly. We need to hear we need that on the record, and we need the 302 forms to be unredacted. To my knowledge, they still haven't been. We're still in a holding pattern.

SPEAKER_03 20:45

So 90%.

SPEAKER_05 20:48

Yeah. Yeah, we're still in a holding pattern with it. Uh what is it? Yeah, 2.3 million documents left, but I don't know what's gonna possibly be in those, but my main concern is like just still getting those 302 forms redacted. That's kind of the That was Massey's big thing. That's the stuff I wanna see.

SPEAKER_03 21:09

That's a lot of paperwork.

SPEAKER_05 21:11

Yeah. Maybe 10% of it might be important, so I don't know. So anyway.

SPEAKER_03 21:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 21:21

Yeah. Anyway. So that's uh that's Melania's statement. Not as big a deal as I thought it was gonna be. I was kind of buying into the marital strife theory until I heard the speech. I'm like, nah, this is just her reacting to that fake fake news. So anyway. We hope you enjoyed this episode of Faith Fiction and Folklore.
