Donald Trump is about to burst into tears and it is because of his wife Melania.

Now it's certainly not because she stole his last Big Mac or because she's not around anymore.

Donald Trump has Natalie Harp for that.

No, it is because Melania, and everyone in the White House is terrified of this, is supposedly about to go even more rogue than she already has.

Now, this is a person with a reputation as terrible as Donald Trump's, Yet, she still believes she can preserve it or change it or make it better.

Don't try to understand it, just try to understand this.

The White House is currently panicking over what Melania Trump is doing.

And it all starts, of course, as all things do, with the files.

And what Thomas Massey had to say right here.

Handle this, which is extraordinary in and of itself, that they're not using it to discuss a war but to discuss the Epstein files.

So aren't they just doing the bidding of Donald Trump?

isn't he the one that doesn't want this to come out?

Well, I think he has been trying to protect his friends like Howard Lutnick, who it's obvious now he was a bald-faced liar just weeks before we got the files released.

He was saying he had never had anything to do with Epstein after his first interaction.

And now we see he took his kids, his whole family to the island for lunch.

So I think he's still trying to protect some of his friends.

And we just need to get it all out there.

But more importantly, there are enough names in there.

You know, Leslie Wexner, Leon Black, Jess Staley.

These are people who are mentioned in there.

You're innocent until proven guilty in this country.

But there's enough information there that there need to be investigations like there have been across the world.

I mean, there's the prince of England is no longer a prince.

The ambassador from Britain to the United States is now gone.

The former prime minister of Norway is being investigated.

It's happening everywhere except for the United States.

And I do think the president's been an impediment.

But I agree with the first lady when she says that Epstein did not act alone.

And so we need to investigate these things.

There need to be prosecutions, not just getting this out there.

We've got enough stuff out there now to have the prosecutions.

And that's what this 2.0 is about doing.

It's letting the state attorneys general do the job that the U.S attorney general will not do.

All right, Melania, Thomas Massey agrees with you.

He wants more transparency on the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

He wants a part two.

You said more files need to be released.

You need to get involved.

Put your $10 million of Bezos money where your mouth is, Melania.

It is time to step up and give us a little bit of transparency because isn't that what you called for?

Isn't that what you so desperately desire?

Again, I know it sounds wild to say, but Melania believes she is a person with a legacy, I'm cracking up at this point,

that can be saved or improved.

Your legacy is being married to a racist pedo.

That's what it is.

And for claiming that you need an Einstein visa because the Epstein modeling agency brought you to the United States.

Nobody's buying it, Melania.

This is bullshit.

And you are just as gross as your husband because you put up with him.

But still, Melania thinks she has a legacy.

It's part of why, as we're going to get into in a second, the White House is terrified.

She's gone rogue.

And Stephanie Grisham, her former chief of staff, explained why.

And to your point about her thinking something was something might be coming or something like that,

when you worked for her, how focused was she?

Is she on herself, her own legacy and brand separate from her husband, and making sure that she has a legacy, that she has a hand in creating?

Oh, I mean, absolutely 100% that is her focus.

I would say aside from being a mom, that would be what she worried about was again, her brand, her reputation separate from her husband,

separate from anything that the west wing would do

when i was in the east wing we never gave the

west wing a heads up on anything we were going to

do um it was i've got to say it was kind

of an empowering thing it was the first time in history

i think that's ever been done we did not check with

the west wing we never told the west wing anything

and i see he's doing the same thing um when she feels really strongly about something, she decides to speak out.

And that has nothing to do with how it will reflect on her husband politically or otherwise, or the West Wing.

So she's always been that way, very strong, very independent.

And if somebody is saying something about her that she feels is untrue, knows to be untrue, you better believe she'll speak out and everybody else just watch out.

This is what everyone who works for Melania

and worked for Melania was saying a few months ago after she came out with her big shock files announcement.

We remember this, right?

That Donald Trump wasn't informed.

He didn't know it was going to happen.

Everybody was stunned.

Melania was acting on her own.

Now, we thought maybe that had died down because Trump certainly doesn't want us talking about the files anymore.

The man started a fucking war to distract from it.

And so Israel wouldn't release, of course, all the blackmail that they have on Donald Trump via the files.

But no, Melania has made this worse for her husband.

She is going rogue.

Trump is crying.

I think they're getting divorced.

And this would be a good sign that that's around the corner.

White House panics over fears Melania could go rogue.

Author Michael Wolff details how everyone in the White House is afraid of Melania and her power.

First Lady Melania Trump is the one force neither the president nor his staff can control in this administration, author Michael Wolfe writes.

In a new column for his substack, H-O-W-L, Wolfe wrote that the White House staffers are terrified of Melania's unpredictability,

especially after her bombshell address about the files in which she denied having any sort of relationship with Epstein.

Everybody in the White House is afraid of Melania and her power, that is, if she chooses to use it.

They largely think she won't, or at least won't use it so obviously enough to directly threaten the place, but they can't be sure.

At the same time, they think that the relationship between the president

and his wife is probably at the lowest point since the Stormy Daniels trial.

And that was very low, he elaborated.

Wolf alleges that Trump and his wife barely speak and notes

that there is hardly even the pretense that she lives in the White House.

And it has been reported that Melania appears to live in New York rather than living full-time in Washington with her husband.

Wolf also claimed that within the White House there is alarm about her next business moves, more so than Trump's children's business deals.

Of all the self-dealing among Trump family members, Melania's moves, not just about money, but about calling attention to herself, are seen as the most disturbing to the White House

100

and most in danger of putting her on a collision course with the president.

101

It's okay to make money in the Trump White House and in the Trump family, not so okay to make yourself the main event,

102

he noted a 927-page financial disclosure report revealed how much the First Lady made from her movie funded by Jeff Bezos.

103

Of course, the MGM Amazon Studios paid $75 million for the film.

104

I wonder why.

105

It only grossed $16.7 million worldwide.

106

However, Melania made almost $11 million.

107

It is just insane.

108

And the White House is not happy that Michael Wolff is talking about it.

109

So both on the files and on the business dealings, the White House is very afraid of Melania.

110

Her and Trump are separated.

111

They might be getting divorced.

112

I don't know.

113

The rumors are flying.

114

but there is one thing that is very crystal clear.

115

Nothing is crystal clear when it comes to the files.

116

We are still kept in the dark.

117

And it's crazy, or I guess I should still say it is unsurprising but disturbing and sad,

118

that while this administration covers up everything from the files to Trump's health to Mitch McConnell's health,

119

they're also dead set focused on spending as much of our money through the AI oligarchs, the oligarchs in tech broadly,

120

to build a surveillance state of us.

121

And that's what we see every day.

122

While ICE is terrorizing our communities using government surveillance and terror tactics, did you know that you don't even,

123

or I should say they don't even need a warrant to find out where you live, who you're related to, what car you drive, or anything else about you?

124

That's because they can just buy it from the same data brokers who are selling your information to everybody else.

125

And it's actually easier to just buy it than legally asking a judge.

126

There's nothing in the law that stops them.

127

But the ICE invasion isn't the only reason.

128

It's a good idea to keep your private information private, which is why I've been using today's sponsor, which is Cloaked.

129

When I put my own phone number into their site to see what's out there, it came back with my address, my family members, even my social security number,

130

which is apparently just a thing you can buy now.

131

This isn't a leak or being hacked this is the entire data broker business, making billions of dollars a year selling your information to literally anyone with a credit card.

132

And it's legal because at some point, somewhere, you clicked agree on a terms of service.

133

It should be illegal, but it isn't.

134

And in the meantime, you can actually do something to protect yourself.

135

A lot of services will scrub your data off the web after the fact, and that works, but it's hard to keep up

136

and doesn't cover a lot of these brokers who can just add you right back in there

137

while you're handing more information to dozens of other companies.

138

Cloak handles both halves of the problem.

139

They find where your information is being sold and get it removed.

140

And then their app lets you generate unlimited burner emails

141

and usernames and phone numbers to hand out whenever you sign up for anything.

142

You can even call and text and email those burners right through the app.

143

So now those data brokers will be scrapping and selling anonymous garbage and ruining their business models at the same time.

144

Cloak also monitors the dark web and tells you when information turns up somewhere it shouldn't.

145

Plus, there's a password manager and a VPN built in, an AI spam call filtering, and a million-dollar identity theft insurance policy to back it.

146

So go to cloaked.com slash Jack Cotterilla, that is Jack, C-O-C-C-H-I-A-R-E-L-L-A, and test it out

147

if you want by scanning your own phone number to find out right now whether your social security number is for sale.

148

And if you want to take it back, go to cloaked.com slash Jack Cacciarella for 30% off any plan.

149

I think that this is incredibly important right now

150

that we look out for and protect and safeguard our data because in every single way imaginable,

151

The Trump administration is taking it and selling it to the highest and worst and scariest bidder.

152

This is what is happening every single day.

153

These people claim to be the most transparent administration in history, but apparently what they mean by that is all of our data is transparent

154

and to be used by the worst of the worst, whether it is the AI oligarchs, whether it is Larry Ellison,

155

Peter Thiel, any of these people who want to monitor us, Alex Karp, all of these fucking freak shows who want to spy on us with flock cameras,

156

steal your data, sell it, and use it to lord over you.

157

We cannot allow this.

158

What we need actual transparency on is the files, Trump's health and the corruption.

159

And speaking of

160

which, another presidential family member has been making a lot of news recently for talking about the fact

161

that we need to go after this corruption.

162

And I believe Melania is just as culpable in the cover-up of these files.

163

It doesn't matter if she made a press conference, but as anyone else.

164

So I think we should be going after her as well.

165

And I don't think that Hunter Biden would be disagreeing, given that he just said this with my friend Jen Welch recently.

166

The single greatest mistake of my father's administration was the leadership of Merrick Garland.

167

I completely agree.

168

I write about this in my book.

169

not today fascist the reason that we are in the situation

170

that we're in right now can almost well by the way

171

the buck has to stop my dad he was the president

172

he chose him now once he chose him he played by

173

the you know a higher standard than the marcus queensberry rules he played by the constitution

174

and the tradition

175

that the president will never you know particularly since nixon involve

176

themselves in any decision making as it relates to anything at the department of justice

177

So I guarantee you there was a division between church and state there.

178

But if Merrick Garland had started a completely 100% legitimate investigation rather than thinking like,

179

let's not fan the flames.

180

Like, what the did you not watch what I watched?

181

Did you not see these people storming the Capitol of the United States of America,

182

beating cops and running congressmen and senators literally out of the building?

183

Yeah.

184

You didn't see that?

185

You didn't see a president and know that it was a concerted and planned effort on their part,

186

beginning all the way back from the day before the election when they knew they were going.

187

I mean, go back and listen.

188

They wanted to kill Mike Pence.

189

Go back and listen to Steve Bannon talking to Miles Gao on the day before the election, saying exactly what they were going to do.

190

There's tapes.

191

Mother Jones has these tapes that were leaked.

192

You got to listen to the tape where he says, this is what we're going to do.

193

First, we started with the laptop.

194

And we, you know, we took, I think, his license with the pictures, you know, because they did this whole thing where I was a pedophile in China

195

and all this stuff that they put out there.

196

And the next thing we're going to do is we're just going to say that the election was not legitimate.

197

And we're just going to say it over and over and over again.

198

So we knew that it was a

199

planned conspiracy that had a disparate number of actors all working inside

200

and outside of the White House at all levers of government.

201

It's a layup.

202

And he doesn't do anything.

203

he doesn't do anything the only way

204

that we got to any prosecution of him as it related

205

to january 6 is we had to wait for congress to go through an entire series of hearings

206

and it lays it all out then right we still don't

207

go after him we don't end up going after him

208

and get jack smith until the documents case

209

and then they bring the documents case in in in florida rather than in dc I mean, I don't get it.

210

I mean, I absolutely don't get it.

211

We cannot allow these people to continue to scam us, to hurt us, to steal from us,

212

and then beg for civility and respect and for government to go back to the way it used to be.

213

No more politics.

214

Let's just do what we need to do.

215

No more partisanship when it means going after Republicans, they say.

216

No, no, no, no. I think we're all tired of that world.

217

I think we're all tired of that bullshit.

218

and we're going to stop it.

219

And I'm glad that Hunter Biden is on his little media tour because I've really enjoyed it.

220

I've really enjoyed a lot of what he's had to say.

221

He cuts through.

222

He's no bullshit.

223

We're hoping to have Hunter on the show soon.

224

So let's make it happen, man.

225

But we're going to keep calling it all out.
