>> Melania Trump was secretly recorded by her former friend and senior advisor in the
summer of 2018. Now, this woman, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff later published a book about
her relationship with Melania Trump and ensure that people could listen to their conversations
that she's secretly recorded. So I wanna be clear that she's not a good guy.
There are no winners in this story only terrible people and losers. And what you're about to
hear is Melania Trump in the summer of 2018, discussing Christmas and immigrant children
at the border watch. >> They say I'm complicit. I'm the same like
him, I support him. I don't say enough.
>> No >> I don't do enough.
>> Nope, it's >> I'm working, my ass at Christmas stuff,
who gives a about Christmas stuff and decoration? But I need to do it right?
>> Yeah but >> Correct.
>> A hundred percent you have no choice. >> Okay, and then I do it.
And I say, I'm working on Christmas planning for the Christmas. And they said, what about
the children that they were separated? Give me a break. Where they were saying anything
when Obama did that? >> I know
>> I cannot go. I was trying to get the kid reunited with the mom.
I didn't have a chance. Needs to go through the process and through the law.
>> But here's my thing, hear what you just said? But instead of that, your messaging,
you were so loved, you were. >> They will not do the story. We put it out.
There would not do the story
>> Until. >> You would not believe it. They would not
do the story. Because >> No.
>> They would not do the story because they are against us because they're Liberal Media.
Yeah, if I go to Fox, they will do the story. I don't want to go to Fox.
>> Wow, a lot to unpack there. For me personally listening to that was an emotional roller
coaster because it started off pretty good actually. It started off with me, really agreeing
with what she was saying. People love Christmas I don't take that away from them. But I do
think that it's pretty gross that the First Lady always has to do these annoying like,
whew holiday decorations and the Rose Garden riddle.
Is it remodeling? I don't know what you do with a garden. Re-landscaping, if the First
Lady wants to do it cool, but I think it's super annoying that it's just assumed that
the First Lady is gonna come in and do the holiday decorations and all the womanly things.
I would lose my mind if I was supposed to do decorations for any holiday and that was
the role that I had to play, I had no choice. But then, she gets into all the gross stuff
regarding immigrant children, and I wanna debunk what she had to say there.
But before I do, Ben, why don't you jump in. >> You could tell that there was something
to Melania in terms of her being able to just be with somebody like Donald Trump. And we
can clearly see the type of monster that Donald Trump is, I almost said was, he is a monster.
But to hear that second part, because I agree with you and I hadn't taken that into context
about her being forced as a First Lady to do that. I agree with you 100%, but the second
half really shows the viciousness of her character. >> Yes. And I remember when she had gone to
visit the border, and she was wearing that outfit that said, I really don't care, do
you?
And I was like, I don't, I mean, was that intentional? I don't know why I felt the need
to give her the benefit of the doubt. I just felt like people were too quick to assume
that message was specifically to people who were concerned about migrant children. But
now I'm pretty sure that there was some intention there.
But nonetheless, even if there wasn't that's not the heart of the issue here. The heart
of the issue is how she wanted to use that visit as nothing more than a follow-up. And
she's angry that the story that she did specifically for positive PR didn't get picked up by the
mainstream media.
Which to be fair, does like to serve as stenographers and PR agents for people in positions of power.
And apparently, she's not a big fan of Fox. She didn't care if Fox was willing to cover
it. But let's also talk about what she had to say about give me an effing break, Obama
did it.
Except no, that's not true, and you have to really contextualize what happened under the
Obama administration, not giving him brownie points for his immigration policy. He did
deport a lot of people, there's no question about that. But when it comes to separating
children from their parents, what's the truth?
Did Obama do that, and was it as widespread as what we've experienced under the Trump
administration? Under former President Barack Obama, children were separated from parents
only when authorities had concerns for their well-being or could not confirm the adult
was in fact their legal guardian. But not as a blanket policy as was done under Trump,
until a judge forced the administration to stop.
So we all remember that the judge was like, what are you doing? You need to reunite these
kids. And the administration was so incompetent and so callous and careless that they did
not even keep documentation of which parents children belong to, and had a difficult time
reuniting these kids with their parents.
Okay, that's what happened under Trump. Let me give you more. The US actually held a record
number of migrant children, immigrant children in detention centers in 2019. That's according
to a report by the Associated Press. So there you have it. There's the headline if you wanna
read that report for yourselves to give you specific numbers 69,550 migrant children were
held in the US government custody over the past year.
So that was in 2019. Enough infants, toddlers, kids and teens to overflow the typical NFL
stadium. That's more children detained away from their parents than any other country,
according to United Nations researchers. And it's happening each even though the US government
has acknowledged that being held in detention can be traumatic for children, putting them
at risk of long-term physical and emotional damage.
And by the way, I should note that six, six immigrant kids have died under Border Patrol
custody. Okay, you wanna know how many kids died under Border Patrol custody during the
Obama administration? Zero, zero kids died. That's relevant when I go to other comments
made by Melania. But let's listen to the next tape.
>> A lot of moms and kids, they are teached how to do it.
>> Of course >> They go over and they say, we will be killed
by a gang member. It's so dangerous, so they're allowed to stay here. Do you understand?
>> I do, and they're the ones that are the bad ones.
>> Yeah and it's not true, you know what I mean? Some of them are using that lines. That
they're not professional, but they're teached by other people on what to say to come over,
to let them go to stay here >> Ben, reaction.
>> You would think that an immigrant would have compassion for other immigrants?
Just like I would think a human would have compassion for other humans. I'm not an immigrant.
But when you look at the numbers, all right, the numbers that you laid out the number of
people have been taken from their kid, the kids taken from the parents, the number that
have died, not to mention the sexual assault that has been reported.
You have empathy and compassion, but seeing Melania completely separate herself from people
who have immigrant stories much like our own? It's unbelievable.
>> It really is and we have one more video to share with you. So let's quickly go into
that. >> You understand?
>> I do. So what prompted you to want to buy that jacket?
>> I'm driving liberals crazy, that's for sure. And they deserve it. You understand?
>> I know >> And everybody's like, my God, this is the
worst, this is the worst asked, after I mean come on. They are crazy, okay?
>> Yeah, they are crazy, says the woman who feels that the Trump administration treated
these immigrant kids really, really well, so well that six of them have died under the
Trump administration.
In fact, the report that I mentioned earlier actually, a report by ProPublica says House
Democrats are ramping up pressure on the Trump administration to explain how six migrant
children died after entering the United States. The six who died in government custody between
September of 2018 and may of 2019 were the first such deaths in a decade.
Melania Trump thinks, no, no, they're lying about fleeing violence in their own countries
because they get treated so much better here in the United States. We give them a comfortable
bed to sleep on. I mean, we all saw what those detention centers look like, children packed
in these cages sleeping on the ground covered with those foil blankets.
It was absolutely hideous and disgusting. There were stories of migrant children who
died surrounded in their own vomit. And this woman has the audacity to say that they're
liars, these kids are liars. They're being trained to lie to come to this country because
we treat them so well.
By the way, I haven't even gotten to the numbers of migrant adults who died under Border Patrol
custody during the Trump administration. These are the realities, these are the facts on
the ground and this woman is deluded enough to think that she's somehow a hero, and she's
owning the libs by wearing her ugly, overpriced designer clothing that makes no sense at all.
Whatever I mean, I'm glad that she doesn't have any friends. I mean her shower friends
will secretly recorder to put out books and profit off of her nonsense, and that's what
she deserves. I'm sure it's driving her crazy.
