We have some breaking news. Melania Trump has not been seen in public for three weeks. She's awall. She's missing. Coincidentally, this coincides with her former friend Amanda Unaro calling her a hooker and saying that Epstein introduced Trump to Melania. Crickets nowhere to be seen. This is the last time she's been seen. Pop this up first. First lady Melania Trump made her most recent public appearance on May 19, 2026 when she joined President Donald Trump at the White House Congressional picnic. It was all fun and games at the picnic. And then Amanda Ungaro comes out with the bombshell that Melania Trump was an escort. Whether it's high end or low end, we can debate that out on another podcast, but Melania has reported she reportedly divides her time between three primary residences, Mar A Lago, Trump Tower and the White House. Nobody has seen her in any of these places. None. She doesn't put out a schedule. You remember the fixation on Michelle Obama? It still continues. The right wings fixation on Michelle Obama. Their fixation. Jake Tapper's fixation on Jill Biden. He was droning on about her this weekend. Hey journalists, Focus. Where is Melania? Let's get her in front of the cameras and ask her about this scandalous allegation that Jeffrey Epstein, the prolific child sex abuser and rapist, introduced the President of the United States to then prostitute Melania Trump. This is a big, big story. And Melania has. She's hiding. That's all that we can deduce from this, is that she is hiding. And as we head into Pride Month, the Republicans are upping their critiques of. Let me check my notes here. Mormons. So they're giving the gays a break and they're all chips in on the Mormons. And Mike Lee is going through some things. Let's play the clip.

Consider it, but undo it.

Secretary Hegseth, tear down that Wal.
A
This is not cool.
C
Get rid of it. Get rid of it now. Thank you. Oh, my God. I just have to say, I love this. I think it's so delicious. I think it's kind of adorable that Mike Lee thought that he was going to be safe with the white Christian nationalists. He thought, oh, we are all on the same team, and that's not how white Christian nationalism works. Furthermore, what a repudiation to the Mormon faith. I would take it as a badge of honor to say I am so glad that my religion was left off of the Pentagon list of approved religions because we do not approve of war crimes. We do not approve as Mormons, we do not approve of 160 Iranian schoolgirls getting bombed. Thank you, Hagset. The Mormons are superior to your white Christian nationalism. Nope. They're all begging. Begging to be on the quote, unquote, war criminal approved religious list. Mike Lee has posted 37 times in the last 24 hours about the decision to remove Mormons from the Pentagon's approved list of recognized Christian denominations. Let's pop this up. Here's one of his hosts. Read the Book of Mormon cover to cover, pray about it, asking sincerely to know whether it's true. The final chapter provides specific guidance on this point. Then tell me whether Latter Day Saints believe in Jesus Christ. Will you accept that challenge, Mike Lee? I think that MAGA would say a resounding no. They will not accept that challenge because even within all of the crazy MAGA Christians, there's Christian on Christian crime, they grade which. Which sect of Christianity they think is more important. And I hate to break it to you, but they think the Mormons are a little cuckoo and now you're left completely off the list. Lee says he spoke to Donald Trump about it and help is on the way. Pop this up. I just, just got off the phone with President Trump. We discussed the Pentagon's, quote, Christian list. I won't speak for him, but I'm thrilled about where this is heading. We're most fortunate that President Trump, number one, loves Latter Day Saints, and number two, is our Commander in chief. I can think of a lot of things that President Trump loves himself. Orange, makeup money, Jeffrey Epstein, private planes, tweeting. I guarantee you he does not love the Latter Day Saints. Hook him up to True Serum and a polygraph. He doesn't give a shit about the Latter Day Saints. This is the fool's errand of so many people. They think Trump really cares about them. He doesn't. But Mike Lee's a. And a hypocrite extraordinaire. Do you remember in Minnesota when the two state lawmakers were murdered? Well, big Mr. Jesus Christ, latter day saint, Mike Lee got on the Internet and did this. Pop this up. He posted. This is what happens when Marxists don't get their way. So imagine this, two innocent people that are just Democrats, where he's a Republican, get murdered, and that's what he posts. This big Latter Day Saint Christian. No wonder he wants to be on Pete Hex. Says we kill with impunity. We shoot fishermen in open waters. No wonder he wants Mormons represented on the pro death Pentagon list. And then he also posted this nightmare on Waltz street, meaning the governor of Minnesota, Tim Walls. And so of course, he deleted these. But this is how fragile the faith is of these people. It doesn't matter if you're Mormon or Catholic or whatever they weaponize all day long. We're pro family, we're pro faith. We. We don't want, you know, we want to be the biggest patriots we can possibly be. But they're not. Look at Mike Lee. Look at what a piece of shitty is when two people got murdered. Look at what a piece of shit he's being right now, demanding that all Mormons be on Pete Hegseth approved, you know, list of religions. And you look at Pete Heth. I mean, this guy's had like multiple wives, multiple affairs, is an untreated. Allegedly an untreated alcoholic. And. And Senator Mike Lee is just chomping at the bit to get on that list. And it shows you how morally bankrupt all of these people are. But it doesn't stop there. Mike Lee calls the Equality act divisive and counterproductive. Kylie, pop this up. Americans are becoming more tolerant every day, which is a good thing. You dip. Which is why the Equality act is so counterproductive. It unnecessarily pits communities against each other and divides our nation when patience and understanding are so sorely needed. Pitting against each other. Is this how you feel right now with what white nationalist Pete Hegseth did to the Mormons? Do you feel pitted against each other. Did you think that they were going to keep you safe that you were on the approved Christian list? Do you not know what evangelicals and Catholics say behind Mormons back? It's not good. Yeah, they like you because you hate black people with them and you hate gay people with them and you hate immigrants with them. But then they don't stop there. They keep moving the goalposts. Mormons off the approved list, Jewish people off the approved list, Muslims off the approved list. You're not special. Mike Le and the Utah College Republicans. I guess they desperately, I guess the Mormons desperately want to be on a Pentagon list where they change the name from the Department of Defense to the Department of War because I guess the Church of Latter Day Saints identifies with war, which is mind boggling. It's mind boggling that these people want to be sanctimonious about their religion and they're demanding to be on a war list. Pop this up. Here's the Utah College Republicans, caps lock Mormons or Christian. And they're all posing there. I mean, just as wide as all get out with the statue of Jesus Christ. And this is what happens in maga. So I mean, the only good news about this is the LGBTQ plus community is getting, you know, two day break while the maga. On MAGA crime is just completely spiraling out of control. And God only knows where Melania is. And here's just a little extra credit for you guys. Mike Lee also suggests that January 6 was done by the feds. And I want to remind you the feds at that time were maga. Trump was president. So not only is he dying to be on a kill list associated with war and associated with destruction, he's also a world class liar. Pop this up, Kylie. So he's tweeting Liz Cheney here. And he says, liz, we've seen footage like that a million times. You made sure we saw that and nothing else. It's the other stuff, what you deliberately hid from us that we find so upsetting. Nice try, P. S. How many of these guys are feds? As if you'd ever tell us. So here we have the champion of Mormon faith putting on a master class as to why not to be a Mormon with an assist from the young college Mormon Republicans. All right, that's all we have. I would like to dedicate today's commercial to pre order my book Not Today Fascist to Senator Mike Lee. Good luck with maga.
