Was Trump’s Mar-a-Lago the First Epstein Island?

0:00At this point, I'm going to assume that many of you have already heard the audio I'm about to play of Donald Trump now admitting that Virginia Giuffre and several other presumably underage girls were poached by Jeffrey Epstein while they were employed and working at the spa inside of Mar-a-Lago sometime back in and around the year 2000. In the spa. People that work in the spa. I have a great spa. One of the best spas in the world at Mar-a-Lago. And people were taken out of the spa. Hired by him. In other words, God. Forgive me if you've already asked yourself the following questions or if you've already heard them asked by other pundits, but I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't ask the following before we play any more of this audio.

0:44Number one, why were there teenage girls working at the spa inside of Mar-a-Lago? Number two, how many girls was Epstein allowed to kidnap from the spa inside of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago? And number three, when Epstein stole these underage girls from your spa at Mar-a-Lago, did you do anything to report it to the authorities, especially, you know, considering that you were well aware of Jeffrey Epstein's aggressive sexual proclivities? Play the tape. I don't want to say two, or I don't want to say any number you're talking about many years ago, but yeah, he took people. And because he took people, I said, don't do it anymore.

1:16You know, they work for me. And he took, uh, beyond that, he took some others. And once he did that, that was the end to him. I didn't like where they steal people. I don't like it. So let me get this straight. You have underage girls working in your spa at Mar-a-Lago who are exposed to wealthy old men all day long. Your good buddy Jeffrey Epstein swoops in and starts hauling them off on airplanes never to be seen again. And you allegedly told him to knock it off, but he does it again at least one other time, if not clearly more, based on your own words played again. I don't want to say two or I don't want to say any number.

1:53You're talking about many years ago, but yeah, he took people. and because he took people, they said, don't do it anymore. You know, they work for me. And he took, beyond that, he took some others. What else could that possibly mean other than at least three girls that Epstein stole from Donald Trump using his own creepy ass words as if these underage girls are his possessions? So I guess that partially answers my second question of how many underage girls was Jeffrey Epstein allowed to poach at Donald Trump's home spa inside Mar-a-Lago. But it still doesn't answer my first question, Which is why were there teenage girls working at the spa inside of Mar-a-Lago in the first place?

2:30I mean, I get it. Nobody wants an overweight 60-year-old man with hairy arms attending your spa clientele. But even in the 90s, I would assume that you would at least hire college-age women. Am I right? I mean, it's a spa. There's butts and boobs in every direction. Not the place for kids. She was a locker room attendant at a luxury spa inside of a private club filled with powerful older men. Why not just hire 18-year-olds? Even in the late 90s or 2000, any halfway competent HR department, assuming one even existed, would have known that having minors in that setting is an enormous liability, to say the least.

3:06You know, that is, of course, unless nobody really cared, or unless certain people preferred them that young. But it also doesn't answer my third question, which is when Epstein stole these underage girls from your spa at Mar-a-Lago, did you do anything to report it to the authorities, especially considering that you were well aware of Jeffrey Epstein's aggressive sexual proclivities. And I threw him out of the place, persona non grata. I threw him out, and that was it. Well, I guess that answers that question. But every time Trump opens his big mouth about it, something incriminating inevitably plops out onto the floor like a dirty wet mop.

3:41It has been fascinating to watch Trump squirm over this so wildly, because he usually knows how to stonewall and grift his way out of these things. He's flip-flopped all over the place from making it a campaign promise to a flat-out denial to gaslighting, scapegoating, and now slowly admitting a little more each week in a lame attempt to make sure it doesn't hit us all at once that he's actually part of this. Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? And now he's admitting that Epstein poached more than two underage girls from his spa at Mar-a-Lago. And who were those other girls? Did they meet the same fate as Virginia Jufri, who just happened to commit suicide last April?

4:16Did one of those stolen, you know, persons, does that include Virginia Jeffrey? I don't know. I think she worked at the spot. I think so. I think that was one of the people. He stole her. That girl went from your employment all the way to Prince Andrew in London. What happened to the other girls, Donald? And here's another thing. Ghislaine Maxwell was allegedly recruiting girls on the premises. And according to Jufri's sworn accounts, she was approached by Ghislaine Maxwell while working at Mar-a-Lago. Are people still talking about this guy, this creep? That is unbelievable. Tells me that the trafficking pipeline began on Trump's property.

4:57How does somebody like Maxwell get access to spa staff unless she was well-known and trusted at the club? Yeah, he took people. And because he took people, they say, don't do it anymore. You know, they work for me. And he took, beyond that, he took some others. And once he did that, that was the end to him. I didn't like, when they steal people, I don't like it. This one soundbite from Trump has raised probably more questions in the last 24 hours than there was last week when this was the only thing anybody was talking about at full tilt. A little more concerning is that the White House came out yesterday saying that the public interest in the Epstein scandal is calming down.

5:34A little bit of wishful thinking there, but to some degree they're right. Just looking at the top trending headlines at Newsweek.com today, over the last 24 hours, and none of them include a story about Trump or Epstein. Even with a scandal like this, people can get burnt out over three weeks of wall-to-wall coverage, but Trump is out of his big orange gourd if he thinks this is going to disappear, especially when he keeps dropping new bombs every day like now admitting that Virginia Jufri and at least two others were taken, stolen, and or poached by Jeffrey Epstein. Should I actually say what this looks like at first glance out loud in my not-so-humble opinion?

6:07because it looks like Trump was running a pedophile daycare center at Mar-a-Lago. I won't say that Trump's private club sounded like it was just one non-disclosure agreement away from being a full-blown trafficking hub, because that kind of talk gets you labeled as a conspiracy theorist even when the man admits on camera that underage girls were stolen from his own spa by a known predator he called a friend. In the spa. Yeah, people that work in the spa. I have a great spa, one of the best spas in the world at Mar-a-Lago. And people were taken out of the spa. hired by him. In other words, God.

6:41I'm so sick and tired of talking about Donald Trump, but every time I try to walk away, he drags me back in by saying something like that. Can we please just trash a Democrat now so I can get this nasty flavor out of my mouth? Thank you. Nancy Pelosi brushes off Trump insider trading accusation. Pelosi rejected Trump's suggestion that she became rich through insider trading, branding the allegation as ridiculous. Yeah, Now, what did you expect her to do? What did you expect her to do? Admit she's a corrupt old hag on CNN? Take a listen. Let me just read what he said. I'm sorry that we had some sort of technical issue.

7:12Nancy Pelosi became rich. Why do you have to read that? We're here to talk about the 60th anniversary of Medicaid. That's what I agreed to talk about. And what that means in the election. I wanted to give you a chance just to respond. He accused you of insider trading. What's your response to that? That's ridiculous. In fact, I very much support the stop the trading of members of Congress. Not that I think anybody's doing anything wrong if they are. She sounded like a whining little girl. Why do you have to read that? Are you still talking about that Epstein thing? Yeah, that's what Nancy sounded like.

7:44She reminded me of Donald Trump. Why do you have to read that? Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? These people are all the same. I very much support the stop the trading of members of Congress. Not that I think anybody's doing anything wrong if they are. Yeah, you're supportive of ending Congressional Insider Trading because you've already cashed out your chips and you've got one foot in the grave, Nancy. You should probably be stripped of all your earnings before you kick the bucket, but who cares when there's the so-called Honest Act, when we've already got to stop trading a Congressional Knowledge Act that's completely useless.

8:15Just like every other initiative that Congress uses to provide a false sense of regulation to game a system that rewards their abuse of power with cold, hard cash. Nancy Pelosi became rich. Why do you have to read that? This is why these bums spend millions and millions of dollars just to land a job that pays only six figures. This is why Nancy Pelosi's salary is$174K a year, and she has a net worth of somewhere around$250 million. Nancy Pelosi became rich. Why do you have to read that? This is why I don't trust politicians on either the left or the right these days. They're all absolutely corrupt and full of shit, with rare exception.

8:49Please excuse my language. You know, Nancy Pelosi became rich by having inside information. She made a fortune with her husband, and I think that's disgraceful. Yeah, thanks for playing that. My producer knows that I hate it when I agree with Trump. But don't worry, it's a surface-level agreement, and I know deep down that there's no way this bill's going to happen, and if it does, they'll be sure to neuter it down to a manageable amount of pretend oversight that'll simply serve as another layer of cover for these cockroaches on Capitol Hill. Next headline in Newsweek, Kamala Harris announces behind-the-scenes book on failed 2024 campaign, Simon and Schuster described Harris' 107 days sober as a page turning account filled with surprising and revealing insights.

9:30No, it's not actually 107 days sober. I added the sober part because it's funny. The title is just 107 days. Kamala definitely gives off some strong cocktail waitress vibes, doesn't she? I'm not trying to be sexist here. And if you truly believe in equality, then criticizing how a public figure holds themselves regardless of race, sexual orientation, or religion. It's fair game, baby. Kamala Harris gives off the vibe that she could be an excellent hotel manager. I'd even consider giving her a podcast here on Newsweek if she had anything interesting to say. Which is why she never went on Joe Rogan, no original ideas whatsoever.

10:02Do you remember when the ladies on The View asked her if she would do anything different than Biden and she said no? Would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years? There is not a thing that comes to mind. Who does that? Someone who's not fit to be commander-in-chief, that's who. There are hundreds of thousands of women out there in the United States who can think and act and perform under pressure a million times over. A hack like Kamala Harris that will unfortunately never step foot inside of Washington because we've got losers like you. Clogging up the system, Kamala.

10:33Nobody is going to read your book, Kamala. You haven't done anything interesting with your life yet and your personality is as shallow as a kiddie pool. Not to mention a lot of people just don't want to see your face right now because you had your chance to defeat Donald Trump. and you blew it because you're just not cut out for this line of work. That's it for today, and until we can do it again, it's Newsweek Radio. I'm Jesse Edwards. Catch you next time, Bob. And we say bye-bye. Newsweek Radio is a member of the Trust Project. Nancy Pelosi became rich. I might have to read that. We're here to talk about the 60th anniversary of Medicaid.
