Summary
Christopher Steele, who ran the Russia desk at MI6, believes Jeffrey Epstein was a Russian asset. He used girls and young women from Russia and other former Soviet states to lure powerful men into kompromat traps.
Michael Wolff made the allegation, which has since been pulled by The Daily Beast, that Epstein introduced Melania and Trump, and that they even had sex for the first time on the Lolita Express. So was Melania a honeypot, trained to keep Trump in their pocket, and prevent an unpredictable influence from marrying Russia's asset?
Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman, of the Trump Tyranny Tracker, and a researcher on explosive books, including investigative journalist Craig Unger's House of Trump, House of Putin, fact checks the Melania honeypot memes, and provides deeper insight into the Eastern European women in Trump's life, like his first wife Ivana.
Olga Lautman will be at the Gaslit Nation Night Out! Join us to celebrate the power of art and defiance at the book launch of Mrs. Orwell, Andrea's inspiring new graphic novel, illustrated by the genius Brahm Revel.
When: April 13
Where: PowerHouse Books Arena, DUMBO, Brooklyn

| 0:27.0 | Just to be very clear, you are a no on any funding request. I'm absolutely a no in any funding |
| 0:32.3 | request. I mean, every single day, this war makes less and less sense. |
| 0:38.3 | We're going to give Iran $14 billion to fund this war with the United States. |
| 0:44.3 | We're going to give Russia billions of dollars to fund their war with Ukraine. |
| 0:49.3 | We're literally putting money into the pockets of the very nations that we are fighting right now. Like, we've never seen this level of incompetence in warmaking in this country's history. |
| 1:00.1 | And frankly, we've had a lot of incompetence in warmaking. |
| 1:02.6 | Our opening clip was Senator Chris Murphy reminding us that Trump dropped oil sanctions against |

| 1:13.7 | with high gas prices, fueling rage against Republicans with their own voters and |

| 1:32.8 | Of course, pile on TSA chaos and the fact that we've had two fatal plane crashes in America |
| 1:42.5 | after having none for the past 15 years. And Americans are seeing all the news, |

| 2:02.4 | can continue to poison our water, the food we eat. He's abusing the war powers to protect |
| 2:09.1 | Roundup from cancer lawsuits. All of this combined, taken together, and even more so, stuff that I'm leaving out that we've been |
