Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try@mintmobile.com Switch upfront payment.

Of $45 for a three month plan equivalent to $15 per month. Required new customer offer for first three months only. Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of networks busy. Taxes and fees extra. See mintmobile.com welcome back to the Tara Palmeri Show. I want to say hello to all of the new subscribers. We hit a major milestone yesterday, 50,000 subscribers. It's a huge accomplishment. I just started this journey five months ago as an independent journalist and I am so happy to have you. As you know, I have been pursuing this Jeffrey Epstein story since 2019 alongside the victims, including Virginia Robert Schuffre, who I crisscrossed the country with trying to find people who would corroborate her story of abuse. And she is back in the news again today because President Trump claims that the reason that he and Jeffrey Epstein are no longer friends is because Epstein stole employees from him, a spa worker. And he said it was Virginia Robert Shuffrey. Now, this doesn't exactly line up with the story, in fact. So Virginia was found on the property at, in the spa by Galen Maxwell. She spotted her. Virginia said, I want to be a masseuse. Galen, who was grooming these girls, said, I can, I can help you. I, I can make you a masseuse. You can become a traveling masseuse for this man. Jeffrey Epstein will teach you everything you need to know. You just have to come back to his house. And it was there that it was Galen Maxwell who took off her panties before Jeffrey Epstein molester. And Glenn was also involved in it, which is another reason why she cannot be pardoned, why she is just as guilty as Jeffrey Epstein. So I just want to keep that a focus on that as well. But in the meantime, you know, the idea that this set off some sort of breakup between Jeffrey Epstein and the President is not true. In fact, Virginia Roberts remembered meeting Donald Trump during this period of time. She was never trafficked to him, but she has been open about some of the men that she's been trafficked to. But we've talked extensively and she told me she was never trafficked to him, but she did meet him. He was still around Her. In fact, Donald Trump testified he was subpoenaed. He was deposed in a case for one of the Epstein victims, Courtney Wild. And in his telling of why they broke up, it was over a real estate deal over a $40 million piece of property in Palm Beach. And there was a bidding war between Epstein and Trump. And obviously the bidding war caused Trump to pay more for the property. Ironically, the house was called the House of Free Friendship. So that was what, you know, what Trump told people at the time was the real end of their friendship. Even Trump said to this lawyer, Brad Edwards at the time that he asked Epstein about the underage girls, and Epstein called it a big Brother, little sister program. Right. As if you could believe that or not think that that was depraved in its own way. So this latest explanation that Trump had some issue with Epstein poaching Virginia at the spa is absurd. And it's something that Virginia has never told me either. And we were very close and something that she's never communicated. In fact, she was very hopeful that President Trump would open the Epstein files. She really wanted that out there. She had actually communicated with Elon Musk about this over dm, and he promised her the same on X. But the pictures in the timeline don't add up. I mean, even in 2000, during the period of time when Virginia was found at 16 years old and was trafficked for the next two years, President Trump was still very much in Epstein's orbit and even said he was a terrific guy to New York Magazine. So I. I find this all to be sort of insane. And having done real reporting on this, knowing about their friendship and what he said about the friendship and talking to victims, it just. The timeline does not add up. And I said on cnn, on Aaron Burnett last night, Monday night, as you'll see on the show, I said, the only person I know that Jeffrey Epstein stole from from Donald Trump, the only employee I know, was Virginia Roberts Giuffre. So, yeah, I pointed that out last night, and now he's saying that today, which is pretty interesting. I do want to go back to Glenn Maxwell and the fact that she was a pedophile herself. She touched Virginia. She took her underwear off. She brought her there from Mar? A Lago to Epstein's house. She touched Annie Farmer, who I interviewed on this show in the last podcast. At 16 years old, she was the one who fondled her before Epstein jumped into the bed. Glenn Maxwell was a predator, too. Not just someone who groomed these women and found them for Jeffrey, but someone who engaged in the sexual acts as well with underage girls. Another thing that President Trump said was that he never had the privilege of going to little St. James. That was Epstein's depraved island. That was so terrifying for some of these girls. One of them actually tried to swim off the island, even knowing that she didn't know where the next piece of land was and she could possibly die. It was better than staying on this depraved island where girls were trafficked to men. As usual, President Trump is making this political. He's calling out Democrats Larry Summers and Bill Clinton for their connection to Epstein. And believe me, there are a lot of connections between Democrats and Epstein. It does not look for good for either side. But it's so clear that when he does that, that he doesn't see that the root of this story is about the victims, about the vulnerable and the poor and how the justice system has overlooked them. And he still just sees this as a political story, as a weapon. And it is truly, it's truly upsetting. And that's why I try to keep the story focused on the victims. Thank you so much for everyone who has tuned in. I just felt really compelled to jump in here and tell you what I know. And I'm going to keep going. By the way, I'm going to have some more reporting too about the Houseman and what he remembered. Juan Alessi, he was critical in getting Glenn Maxwell behind bar the only shred of justice so many of these, of these survivors have and they're worried that they're going to lose it because President Trump is going to, to pardon her. So take a listen here and of course tune in for more.
