Speaker 6 Melania Trump's dark past is surfacing, but she wants everybody to know that Jeffrey Epstein did not introduce her to Donald Trump. Epstein had nothing to do with it.

Speaker 6 It was somebody by the name of Apollo Zompoli who made the introduction.

Speaker 6 And Melania Trump has been, through a lawyer, sending cease and desist letters and threatening any reporters who say that it was Jeffrey Epstein who introduced Melania

Speaker 6 to Donald Trump.

Speaker 6 And Melania doesn't make a lot of social media posts, but with regard to retractions that were issued by the Daily Beast and by others, she keeps on posting those over and over again, almost like trophies.

Speaker 6 But I mean, here's the thing. She met Donald Trump at the Kit Kat Club.
By her own admission, let's go to what her story is.

Speaker 6 She met Donald Trump at a place called the Kit Kat Club in 1998, which was was part of these parties that were thrown by a guy named Paolo Zampoli, where he introduced young Eastern European women who was part of his modeling agencies to wealthy men.

Speaker 6 I mean, that's the real story that is out there.

Speaker 6 And then, as we all know, Melania would do nude model suits. She said she was very proud of the nude work that she did recently.

Speaker 6 We know that in Russia, state regime, Russian media shows those photos of her quite frequently,

Speaker 6 you know, on their state regime media.

Speaker 6 I'm not sure why they do that. You could make your own guesses, but here's what Melania posts.
Daily Beast apologizes and retracts article alleging a Melania Trump Jeffrey Epstein link.

Speaker 6 But interestingly there, I mean, you see the photo she posts. It's of her, Donald Trump, Epstein, and Ghylaine Maxwell.
I mean, the photograph is a real photo. They knew each other.

Speaker 6 I think she just wants to be clear, Epstein wasn't the person who made that introduction. Okay.

Speaker 6 Then there's this article from the New York Post.

Speaker 6 Pundant James Carville apologizes and pulls videos suggesting Melania Trump-Epstein connection after Melania's lawyer sent a cease and desist letter there.

Speaker 6 Why don't we just go through the facts? First, let's look at Melania's own biography that she had to take down many years ago. So you look at Melania's biography and here's what it says.

Speaker 6 Melania Trump, biography. Born on April 26, 1970 in Slovenia, Melania Naus began her modeling career at the age of 16.
At the age of 18, she signed with a modeling agency in Milan. Which one?

Speaker 6 After obtaining a degree in design and architecture in the University of Slovenia, Melania was jetting between photo shoots in Paris and Milan, finally

Speaker 6 settling in New York in 1996. Okay, that's that's her story.

Speaker 6 But then she had to remove that because it appears she did not graduate from any architecture school at all, that she was a dropout from school, which, by the way, at the end of the day, people have their own paths,

Speaker 6 but you know, there seems to be a lack of transparency there.

Speaker 6 She never earned a degree in architecture. She dropped out of college after her freshman year, according to her biographers.
Still, she claimed to have that degree from the University of Slovenia.

Speaker 6 The Slovenian journalists Pozar and Omerza wrote in their biography on her that she became and remained a college dropout after leaving a local university's architecture school following her first year.

Speaker 6 She attended lectures on the following subjects, elements of architecture, fine arts, fundamentals of technical mechanics, architectural construction, descriptive geometry, mathematics, and ideological red communist elective credit called general partisan resistance and social protection.

Speaker 6 Okay, could you imagine if

Speaker 6 another first lady had that class as her background, what Fox News would be saying?

Speaker 6 She would have made it to her sophomore year, even if she didn't pass certain exams, but she was supposed to have gotten a one-month internship.

Speaker 6 But in any event, it seems to say that she got this degree was an exaggeration. Putting it lightly, she removed that from the website.

Speaker 6 Talking about how she met Donald Trump, here's the guy right here, Apollo Zompoli. You see him.
He ran a modeling agency. He's since become very,

Speaker 6 he's always was a very close friend. He started with the model agency, then had the models work in his real estate agency that he then created.

Speaker 6 And he stayed friends with Donald Trump and he became like an ambassador. Like right now, he's got, he's, he's an ambassador, but he was the one who made the introduction.

Speaker 6 And he secured Melania's visa to the United States

Speaker 6 and then introduced her to Donald Trump at the Kit Kat Club. His parties featured alligators, tiger cubs, and models at nightclubs blowing kisses at fashion television cameras.

Speaker 6 So, you know, you know,

Speaker 6 you have that there.

Speaker 6 Looking through Melania's background as well, other notable points, I think, to point out is just take her at her own word, you know, about the things that she said. Right.

Speaker 6 When Donald Trump was found saying that he grabs women by their genitals and when you're rich, they let you get away with it. I mean, Melania was there defending it.

Speaker 6 I mean, she said that's locker room talk, and she said she's okay with it. So here's what she said about that.
Here, play this clip.

Speaker 7 He described it as locker room talk to you. I mean, you sort of alluded to that as well.
Is that what it is to you, just locker room talk?

Speaker 9 Yeah, it's kind of two teenage boys. Actually, they should behave better, right? He was 59.
Correct.

Speaker 9 And sometimes I said, I have two boys at home. I have my young son and I have my husband.

Speaker 9 So,

Speaker 9 but

Speaker 9 I know how some men talk. And

Speaker 9 that's how I saw it, yes.

Speaker 6 I mean, that's what she said about those statements.

Speaker 6 I mean, granted, I mean, you know, yes, they're married, so she's coming to his defense, but I mean, locker room talk, that's not how men talk about things. That's not locker room talk.

Speaker 6 That's not okay. That's not normalized behavior.

Speaker 6 You know, given her background as well, and the fact that she got this

Speaker 6 allegedly got an Einstein visa, I mean, I guess there are questions, you know, what was the original visa that she got? How is she here in the first place? You know, I don't know that, you know, a

Speaker 6 tourist visa? And then she was working on a tourist visa that then converted to an Einstein visa, which is for like super genius talents.

Speaker 6 How'd she secure that visa? How did that happen? You know, there's a lot of questions there that I still think are outstanding. Donald Trump was supposed to hold a press conference about

Speaker 6 her background and about her immigration status during the first time he ran for office. He said he was holding a press conference.
What did he say?

Speaker 6 In two weeks, and he never ended up having the press conference. But here was Donald Trump saying he was holding the press conference.
It never ended up happening here at Play This Clip.

Speaker 11 Wait, they said my wife, Melania, might have come in illegally. Can you believe that one?

Speaker 11 No, no, no.

Speaker 11 They said,

Speaker 11 headlines, maybe she came in illegally. Maybe.
Let me tell you one thing. She has got it so documented, so she's going to have a little news conference over the next couple of weeks.
That's good.

Speaker 11 That's good.

Speaker 11 I love it.

Speaker 12 I love it.

Speaker 11 They said, Melania Trump may have come into our country illegally, and how would that be for Donald Trump to be talking? He's the only problem. She came in totally legally.

Speaker 11 I mean, yeah, so I smoked on that side. All right, but you'll see it in a little while.
I said to her, no, no, let it simmer for a little while. Let them go wild.
Let it simmer.

Speaker 11 And then let's have a little news conference and have some fun.

Speaker 13 Typical children's vitamins are basically candy in disguise, filled with two teaspoons of sugar, unhealthy chemicals, and other gummy junk growing kids should never eat.

Speaker 13 That's why Haya was created, the pediatrician-approved superpowered chewable vitamin.

Speaker 13 While most children's vitamins are filled with five grams of sugar and can contribute to a variety of health issues, Haya is made with zero sugar and zero gummy junk, yet it tastes great and is perfect for picky eaters.

Speaker 13 Haya fills the most common gaps in modern children's diets to provide the full body nourishment our kids need with a yummy taste that they love.

Speaker 13 Formulated with the help of nutritional experts, Haya is pressed with a blend of 12 organic fruits and veggies, then supercharged with 15 essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D, B12, C, zinc, folate, and many others to help support immunity, energy, brain function, mood concentration, teeth, bones, and more.

Speaker 13 It's non-GMO, vegan, dairy-free, allergy-free, gelatin-free, nut-free, and everything else you can imagine.

Speaker 13 Haya is designed for kids of all ages and sent straight to your door so parents have one less thing to worry about.

Speaker 13 My son loves Haya so much, and he also had a blast decorating the bottle with the stickers that come in the first order. I can't speak more highly of Haya.

Speaker 13 We've worked out a special deal with Haya for their best-selling children's vitamin. Receive 50% off your first order.
To claim this deal, you must go to hayahealth.com/slash/midas.

Speaker 13 The deal is not available on their regular website. Go to H-I-Y-A-H-E-A-L-T-H dot com slash MIDAS and get your kids the full body nourishment they need to grow into healthy adults.

Speaker 6 And then as a reminder, Melania would then go on TV and she would,

Speaker 6 you know, say, we need to see Obama's birth certificate and Obama this, Obama that. Here's what Melania said about Obama.
Play this clip.

Speaker 8 But what is this with the birth certificate obsession? Did he ask to see yours when you met him?

Speaker 9 Well, I needed to put mine anyway because if you want to become an American citizen, you need to put the birth certificate.

Speaker 9 I have a birth certificate from Slovenia.

Speaker 9 And

Speaker 9 do you want to see President Obama birth certificate or not?

Speaker 8 I've seen it.

Speaker 9 It's not a birth certificate.

Speaker 8 Well, it's a certificate of live birth, which they get. But Melania,

Speaker 8 if he insists on what he's saying, then no one in Hawaii can ever run for president because they all get the same live birth certificate.

Speaker 9 Well, but they need to have

Speaker 8 it finished, for example.

Speaker 9 They need to have. And in one way, it will be very easy if President Obama just show it.
Because

Speaker 9 it's not only Donald who wants to see it. It's American people who voted for him and who didn't vote for him.
They want to see that.

Speaker 8 But it's on display in Chicago. We've seen it on the internet.
We've seen it. It's not the same as yours, but it's a certificate of live birth.

Speaker 9 Well, we feel it's different than birth certificates.

Speaker 8 All right, well, I think you should give it up.

Speaker 9 Well,

Speaker 9 it's not him that it's bringing up. It's the media all the time, all the time.
His points are really about bringing back the jobs.

Speaker 6 Let's not also forget that Melania plagiarized Michelle Obama's

Speaker 6 convention speech, almost word for word, bar for bar. She just took the convention speech here.
You can hear it for yourself.

Speaker 6 Let's play that right now for you. Here, play it.

Speaker 12 You work hard.

Speaker 12 For what you want in life,

Speaker 12 that your word is your bond, that you do what you say you're going to do,

Speaker 12 that you treat people

Speaker 12 with dignity and respect, and because we want our children and all children in this nation to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work hard for them.

Speaker 6 Recently, Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett brought up Melania and here's what Congresswoman Crockett had to say. Play this clip.

Speaker 14 And since we're talking about integrity, I'm confused as to why my Republican colleagues aren't talking about the lack of integrity when it comes to the president's family's visas.

Speaker 14 Let me remind y'all that Melania, the first lady, a model. And when I say model, I'm not talking about Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, or Naomi Campbell level, applied for and was given an EB1 visa.

Speaker 14 And what that stands for is an Einstein visa. Now, y'all that don't know, let me tell you how you receive an Einstein visa.

Speaker 14 You're supposed to have some sort of significant achievement, like being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize or a Pulitzer, being an Olympic medalist, or having other sustained extraordinary abilities and success in sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics.

Speaker 14 Last time I checked, the first lady had none of those accolades under her belt. It doesn't take an Einstein to see that the math ain't mathing here.

Speaker 6 And here's what one of Donald Trump's victims had to say about an interaction that she had when she was there

Speaker 6 with Trump and she saw Melania and what went down here. Play this clip.

Speaker 15 My name is Natasha Stoinoff. In 2005, I went to interview Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
At one point, Melania went upstairs to change her clothes for the next photo shoot.

Speaker 15 And Trump said to me, I want to show show you this beautiful painting, this beautiful room. He leads me to this room, pushes me against the wall, and starts kissing me forcefully.
I tried to push him.

Speaker 15 He kept coming back at me. I was in shock, getting smothered, and he had his hands here against my shoulders.
I felt sick inside. I felt horrified.

Speaker 15 And thank goodness, the butler charges into the room. Like many women, I blamed myself.
So Trump turned to me and said, you know we're gonna have a fair, don't you? And Milani was approaching.

Speaker 15 I was horrified. When the Access Hollywood tape came out, and also stories of many other women, including Eugene Carroll, I realized I was not to blame, that he was just a predator of women.

Speaker 15 What could have happened if the butler had not come into the room? Donald Trump is an adjudicated sexual assaulter.

Speaker 6 And then I should also note that Melania then got fast-track citizenship with the Einstein visa, the super genius visa, whatever they call it.

Speaker 6 Then through chain migration, she brought her family into the United States. Again, these are all policies that Donald Trump is against and goes after others for doing.

Speaker 6 And so, you know, I mean, she's out there going after the Daily Beast and she's out there going after, you know, other people, you know, and she's saying, let me be clear, it was not Epstein who made the introduction.

Speaker 6 So issue retractions there. Okay, it was Paulo Zampoli.

Speaker 6 It was a modeling agency run by Paulo Zampoli at the Kit Kat Club. And that's,

Speaker 6 you know,

Speaker 6 that's how the introduction went down. I think that a lot more disclosure was needed.
Trump promised two weeks there would be a press conference. It never happened.

Speaker 6 But, you know, I think if you believe in transparency,

Speaker 6 it should be addressed, especially in light of all of the issues that Donald Trump is having right now, you know, and him covering up his dark past.
