Hey there, folks.

It is Thursday, April 9th, and we start this episode with a question.

What just happened?

And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J.

Where we ask, and I ask, Robes, what just happened?

We were waiting for some press announcement from Melania Trump.

What just happened?

I actually don't really have words because no one was expecting Melania Trump to speak about

something that President Trump has been trying to distance himself from desperately for

since the beginning of his administration to the point where some folks would even say he might

have even started a war or invaded multiple countries to avoid or to shift the topic from

Jeffrey Epstein. Whatever he did worked because it has not been the headline for a while, right, Robs?

That's correct.

Until today at 2.30 Eastern time. Robs, I ask again, what just happened?

I cannot get my head around or find a plausible, reasonable explanation as to why the first lady would get in front of a podium and start telling the world that she has nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein, that she's never been friends with him, that she wasn't introduced to her husband, President Trump, by him.

And then, while she's making all of these denials of claims I didn't even know she was being accused of or that anyone was even talking about.

And she pimps out her book in the middle of it which

was a weird little morsel to drop we're going to let you hear every single word it was a short

statement that she read it was it won't take us long to read it it took her a little longer because

she english is not her first language and she took her time with it throughout. But robes, to your point still, Epstein, why did the first lady of the United States just put the Epstein story back front and center at a White House that has been trying to get away from it for a long time?
