Tech Giants, Billionaire Mansion Rush, Viral Shoe Story & NFL Scandal

Ultimize. Microsoft breaks ranks with corporate America and backs an AI company fighting the Pentagon, a rare tech industry challenge to the Trump administration. A wave of billionaires is leaving California for Florida, snapping up record-setting mansions in Miami and Palm Beach. Secretary of State Marco Rubio goes viral for wearing oversized shoes. After reports the president has been gifting officials footwear they feel pressure to wear. New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch moves to transfer his stake in the team after newly released emails show unsavory connections to Jeffrey Epstein. And newly released FBI records from the Epstein files show investigators compiling allegations involving Donald Trump while missing documents fuel new transparency questions. All that and more today on Filtered. Stay tuned. Welcome to Filtered with TJ Walker. Hi, and thanks for joining me. Lots of fascinating stories coming up today in the program. Stay with us. Let's dive right in. Microsoft backs Anthropic against the Pentagon. Microsoft has stepped into a major political and technological fight with the Trump administration. The company filed a court brief supporting artificial intelligence firm Anthropic in its lawsuit against the Pentagon after the government labeled the company a national supply chain risk. The designation effectively blocks contractors from using Anthropic's technology in military work, a classification usually reserved for companies tied to foreign adversaries like Russia or China. Microsoft's move is notable because the company is deeply tied to the federal government. It holds billions of dollars in contracts, including work on the Pentagon's $9 billion joint warfighting cloud capability program. Microsoft also has a major financial stake in Anthropic, investing roughly $5 billion while securing a massive cloud services partnership potentially worth $30 billion. By backing the lawsuit, Microsoft is signaling that some of the country's biggest technology companies may now be willing to challenge government pressure when the future of artificial intelligence and billions in business are on the line. Okay, I think this is significant. It's not as if the CEO of Microsoft did a TED Talk denouncing Donald Trump as the worst threat to democracy around the world this century. He didn't do that, let's be clear. But still, this is sticking his neck out a little. It's risking the ire of the Trump administration. The CEO of Anthropic did that last week and was roundly rewarded by consumers downloading millions of new editions of their app and generating a lot of new revenue. So does this break the dam? Where currently, or until a week or so ago, all the tech billionaires were walking around on tiptoes, afraid to criticize dear leader? Or is this just a minor blip and we're going to continue to see sort of embarrassing subservience to Washington from our tech lords? I don't know. We'll see. I want to share with you some more facts. Microsoft decided the cost of staying silent was higher. This is according to DealBook in the New York Times. A Pentagon official warned Anthropic the government intended to make sure they pay a price. This is what Anthropic put in their court filing. And this is what Microsoft is saying. Eh, we're going to support Anthropic. Again, Microsoft is an investor in Anthropic. So It's not that they're doing this purely for noble reasons. Presumably they are trying to back up their own investment. Engineers from major tech firms backed the lawsuit, saying Anthropic's case raises, quote, serious concerns about government overreach. Now, I talked about this yesterday. To, to be deemed a supply chain risk is something that typically happens if it's a, say, a Chinese-owned company And there's fear that the company is sucking out data from the US and US companies and our Defense Department and secretly giving it to the Chinese or some other enemy. No one seriously thinks that's what Anthropic is doing. And as I mentioned yesterday, this seems more an issue of woke politics where the Pentagon is saying, hey, you have to believe in right-wing woke political feelings, and if you don't share our feelings, we're going to use the big hand of government to punish you. Which is really— it's ironic, given that's what the whole MAGA message has been, anti-woke, for so long. And yet here they are saying, if you don't share our political views, we're going to not hire you, even if you're the most qualified. Which Anthropic is, based on experts who've analyzed all the different AI technologies for certain niches. And instead, we're going to hire less competent people and less competent AI programs. That is sort of woke politics run amok, and it's being done by the very people who claim they're anti-woke. Let's look at some more facts of the issue. Again, government contractors ordered— are ordered to stop using Anthropic services. Now, since all big tech companies— or not all, but most big tech companies, the Microsofts, the Amazons of the world, the anything Elon Musk related— since they all do work with the federal government, saying they can't use Anthropic now is a big blow to Anthropic. And is frankly kind of bizarre. Now, Microsoft presumably did not have to put forth a friend, you know, a friend of the court briefing defending Anthropic, but they did. Again, it was not some huge speech. It wasn't a big interview on MS Now with the CEO of Microsoft denouncing Trump. It wasn't anything like that, but still, This was standing up to the Trump administration. It's also interesting to note that the CEO of Microsoft is one of the few big tech lords who skipped the Trump administration, uh, the inauguration. All the others, as you remember, were surrounding him, but not the CEO of Microsoft. The CEO also refused the White House demand to fire former Biden official Lisa Monaco. So the folks at Microsoft, they're not big political activists. They're not jumping up and down saying, bring down this administration. But they have showed unusual courage in the last year and a half of just not simply bending over every time this administration ask it to do something. So let's look at a little history here. Tim Cook of Apple refused FBI demands for the iPhone backdoor after the 2015 San Bernardino attack. Now, standing up to a president in 2015, very different than standing up to a president in 2026. Let's not kid ourselves. Google employees and leadership forced cancellation of Project Maven AI military contract back in 2018. So Google does have a lot of employees who take seriously their, their role in society and not just going along with the flow all the time. IBM leadership historically resisted government demands that threatened international business neutrality during Cold War technology disputes. So IBM, back when they were a big player, and arguably they still are, has had some history of that. But in general, big tech companies don't want to alienate big government because so much of their money flows from that. Anyway, hats off to Microsoft and their CEO for at least standing up a little bit for justice because it is not just that Anthropic be labeled essentially traitors. I mean, that's what this official label of supply chain risk does. If the Pentagon doesn't want to hire Anthropic anymore because of certain rules Anthropic puts on, that's fine. That's defensible. But the idea of labeling them a supply chain risk is a bit, a bit too far, to say the least. Moving on. Billionaires flee California for Florida mansions. South Florida is rapidly becoming the new playground for America's ultra-rich. A growing number of billionaires and tech executives are leaving high-state, high-tax states like California and buying enormous waterfront estates in places like Miami, Palm Beach, and Indian Creek. Island. Google co-founder Larry Page has reportedly spent more than $170 million on properties in the area. Fellow Google billionaire Sergey Brin recently purchased a mansion worth more than $50 million, and Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly spent around $170 million assembling a compound on Indian Creek, sometimes called the billionaire bunker. Real estate agents say the surge is being fueled by Florida's lack of estate income tax limited waterfront property, and growing concerns among wealthy investors about new taxes proposed in states like California and Washington. The result is a massive reshaping of the luxury housing market, with South Florida increasingly emerging as a rival to Silicon Valley and New York as a center of wealth and power. Okay, let's look at some of the facts here. This is all because of a proposed tax in California that would tax billionaires. And it would be not a hit that would decrease the quality of life for any of the billionaires, but it would result in many of them having to hand over billions of dollars, sort of a one-time tax to the state of California, and they don't want to do it. Now, I do think a case can be made for progressive taxation. In any government. And arguably, the United States has become less progressive in its taxation policies when you factor in all the tax loopholes that people like a Jeff Bezos can get away with and Sergey Brin. I mean, if they have halfway decent accountants, they can get away with paying almost no tax. That's not kidding. You can say, well, the top rate is this and the wealthiest earners pay most income tax. It's true, but not among the absolute wealthiest. They can simply say they don't have income. They have stock that they haven't sold, and they can live on loans. It's perfectly legal, but it means that the wealthiest of our society don't really have to pay taxes. They might not walk around quoting Leona Helmsley all the time, saying only the little people pay taxes, is that's not quite true either. The people who pay taxes are the people who make $500,000, $1 million, $2 million, $3 million a year, and they work on Wall Street or they're doctors and people like that. And hey, they're doing well, they're in the top 1%. But when you get to the top 0.0001%, no, they don't really have to pay taxes or beyond a tiny pittance. So now not only California but Washington State is looking at taxing billionaires. Here's the problem with this. While I am sympathetic to the direction of let's get the people who have benefited the most from society to pay a little more to try to even things out a little bit, soften the blow on the rest of the world, I'm sympathetic to that. As a practical matter, it's just too easy for really wealthy people to do what they're doing here. Just declare official residence in another state. And if the United States gets to be too much, they can declare residency in Monaco or some other country where there's no income tax. So that's really the problem when you have wealth of this level. You probably already had 10 homes in 10 different places. You probably already have homes in at least 3 continents. You have jets that can take you all over the place quickly, easily. This simply was not true when the income tax was created more than 100 years ago in the United States. Travel was difficult, time-consuming, dangerous.. And you could in fact levy an income tax, even a wealth tax if you'd wanted to, and people would kind of have to pay it. As a practical matter, it just doesn't make much sense anymore because wealthy people could say, "Hey, I already pay taxes and I can live anywhere. Why don't I just pick this place?" So that's really the problem. And those of you watching on YouTube, apologies, I have the wrong graphic up. Sorry about that. So we'll get to that story about the shoe size in just a moment. So let's look at some more facts. California's proposed a one-time 5% billionaire tax. So if you are someone like Larry Page and you're worth hundreds of billions of dollars, do you want to be paying $10 billion? In tax to the state of California, or do you say, hey, why don't I save $10 billion and I get a $100 million mansion or collection of mansions in Miami essentially for free? I'm being paid to move there. That's kind of the outlook there. And, you know, it's always easy to be generous with other people's money. Scott Galloway says that, other people say that. I do tend to agree. Yes, I can make the case where we need a wealth tax that the world has never had such income inequality as right now. And certainly in the United States, the income inequality is higher than it's been since the Gilded Age. Traditionally, that causes problems in society. It causes revolutions. There is an incentive to not have that much inequality. The question is, what's the solution? I don't think an income tax or a one-time wealth tax is going to solve the problem unless you have world government. If you had world government— and folks, don't get all excited, I'm not pushing for world government today— but if you had world government, and some economists like Thomas Piketty say that is what's needed, Without a world government, it's too easy for wealthy billionaires to simply declare another part of the world their home and make their citizenship elsewhere. The money— there's so much money at stake. So let's look at some more facts of the case. Again, Larry Page spent $180 million on Miami properties. Sergey Brin, uh, I guess he's a more modest fellow. He's somehow able to get by with a $51 million mansion in South Florida. Mark Zuckerberg has a whole estate, $170 million. And folks, I do live in South Florida as well. I do not live in a $170 million estate. We're quite comfortable where I am in this part of Palm Beach County. And I did not move here because I was a billionaire. But I have to be honest with you and candid with you. Taxation was not the main reason I moved from a high state tax like New York to a place like Florida that has no state income tax. It wasn't the top reason, wasn't the top 3 reasons. But if I'm candid with you, if I had to list 10 benefits to myself of moving from New York to a place like Florida, taxation was one of the 10 reasons. There's no doubt about it. So a lot going on here in South Florida. Florida had 123 billionaires at the year's start. That was up from 110 a year earlier. Now you can say, well, TJ, that's only 13 billionaires. That's more than 10%. And people talk about billionaires like it's, you know, grass that grows everywhere. There are only a couple thousand billionaires in the entire world. So when 13 additional ones move to one little geographic area, it is somewhat significant. Miami-Dade sold one $30 million home in 2018, nothing above that. And it's— they sold 19 in 2025. So that's a huge, huge increase. We're now seeing empty waterfront lots in South Florida selling for $100 million. The key places are Indian Creek, Star Island, beautiful place. I used to live right next door when I was living in South Beach. And Coconut Island— excuse me, Coconut Grove. These are all some of the prime places. So what are we to make of this? If you are a progressive, a liberal, a Democrat, and you're trying to create the world a little— make it a little fairer, have more progressive taxation— I sympathize with you, I really do. But a part of the the standard you should have when analyzing any proposal is not just in theory, does it make you feel good if it worked out perfectly? But as a practical matter, will it work to create the intended effects? The intended effect here is to have more money for people of California. And if you're having a proposed wealth tax in California, and and creating a little more equality. Well, this isn't going to do it because the billionaires are all leaving. So at some point you have to judge legislation by effectiveness. I think the only real solution is you're going to have to have higher taxes on things wealthy people like to spend money on. Private aircraft, big yachts, professional services, nannies, butlers, maids. And it could be difficult taxing those things as well. But it's not quite as easy for the super wealthy to get out of that as it is to just saying, oh, you know what, I get 10 houses. Let's pick this state as my new official residence because there is this thing that didn't exist in 1917. It's called the internet. It's called phones, or phones that you can easily reach people all over the world essentially for free. That changes how localities can lock in their citizens because citizens can go anywhere. Business people can work from absolutely anywhere. More in a moment. Filtered is brought to you by the following. Get the deeper takes I don't post anywhere else.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio found himself trending online this week because of Those— his shoes. Photos taken during a public appearance appeared to show Rubio wearing dress shoes that looked noticeably too large for his feet. The images went viral just as a report from the Wall Street Journal revealed that President Trump has been gifting dress shoes— Warshime shoes, believe it or not, not an expensive brand— to political allies and administration officials. According to the report, the president often guesses a person's shoe size in front of them and then orders a pair of Florsheim shoes, which arrive at the White House days later. Officials reportedly feel pressure to wear the shoes around the president, even when they don't fit well. Recipients are said to include Vice President J.D. Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and several senior White House aides. Critics say the tradition reflects a culture of loyalty and deference inside the administration, while supporters dismiss it as harmless presidential eccentricity amplified by social media. Okay, when I initially saw this story, I was kind of in that latter camp, which is, okay, uh, we got bigger things to worry about. This is kind of an eccentricity. It doesn't really matter if the president wants to give people stuff. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized this is kind of key to understanding how we get into this whole mess of where we are in our country today. The president has surrounded himself with yes-men who do not give honest answers. The president is surrounded by sycophants. And we have an emperor wears no clothes situation going on. We really do. So the president supposedly looks at someone, says, ah, you know, little Marco, I think you're a size 10. And he buys the shoes, has them delivered. The Secretary of State says, ooh, I better wear them. I don't want the president to think I'm disloyal. If he says, how do I like them? And if I, even if I hate them, I'm gonna say I love them and I'm gonna wear them. If he says, how does it fit? I'll say it's great. Even if it looks way too big. Now, if you look at this picture, and for those of you listening on the podcast, you may want to just Google this, Marco Rubio oversized shoes. And it does look ridiculously too big. Now, to my eye, it looks like he's— it's about 3 sizes too big and he's wearing it, which is uncomfortable and not good for your feet and a great way to get calluses and blisters. But again, the reason I think this is so significant is it just shows— now, nobody can be honest around this president. Nobody could say, hey, thanks for the offer of the shoes, I already have shoes, I like it. A normal person would say, oh, okay, no problem. Apparently not this president. He takes everything personally. Everything is looked at through the prism of, are you 100% loyal to me, or do you have an independent mind? Therefore, I have to get rid of you, fire you. Are you going to tell me just what I want to hear? I want to hear, thank you, Mr. President, I love the shoes, they fit perfectly. It's that attitude that gets us into sort of crazy wars where the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State apparently can't go to this president and say, hey, it would be a horrible idea to start bombing Iran, creating chaos in the Middle East, disrupting oil markets and stock markets all over the world, perhaps creating economic catastrophe to our world and geopolitical catastrophe. Because by all accounts, many insiders in the Trump administration believe that. They don't seem to be able to tell him this. And that's why I think when you see a story like this, of how this president is apparently not worried about the United States bombing and killing 176 children in Iran, He doesn't have time to worry about that or even investigate what happened because he's so busy guessing people's shoe sizes and buying them shoes. It's one reason why I think an independent thinker like Joe Rogan says, you know, I really worry about this guy turning 80. If he's got time to do things like this and he's surrounded by people who can't tell him, hey, you bought the wrong shoe size for me, where do I return these? Or I'm going to continue to wear the Ferragamo shoes that I like anyway and not be afraid that they're going to get fired. So again, according to the Wall Street Journal, the president has taken to guessing people's shoe size in front of them. One journalist commented, who buys shoes for other people? Mostly parents for their children. Trump buying shoes for his cabinet is a way of belittling them, said one commentator in the Wall Street Journal. So this is apparently happening to the whole cabinet. JD Vance— and I don't have to tell you how quickly JD Vance ripped off the shoes, his old shoes, from his feet to put on the Trump gift shoes. You could just imagine How quickly that happened. So these are Florsheim dress shoes. I know at some point I've had Florsheim. They are a well-known brand. They've been around for 100+ years. A little bit odd pick for Trump, given that he always likes to have the fanciest, you know, Brioni $20,000 suits. He generally likes the highest brand the, the most prestigious brand. Florsheim is considered kind of a mid-level shoe. It's not pick and pay, it's, it's not the cheapest shoe, but it's certainly not considered a high-end fancy shoe. But he suddenly fell in love with Florsheim dress shoes and feels the need to give them to everyone. He's given them to J.D. Vance, he's given them to Pete Hegseth. He's given them to Howard Lutnick. Howard Lutnick is a billionaire, by the way. I can only imagine what he was thinking was like, I'm a billionaire. I'm supposed to wear $145 shoes. Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair has reported receiving the shoes. Speechwriter Ross Worthington has reportedly been given the shoes and Lindsey Graham. Fox host Sean Hannity has received a pair of shoes. What does this guy do all day long that he's got so much time to give shoes to people, uh, and yet can't figure out maybe we shouldn't bomb and kill 170+ school children in Iran? More in a moment.

New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch is planning to transfer his ownership stake in the team to his children after newly released emails show connections— unsavory connections— to Jeffrey Epstein. A memo sent to NFL executives says Tisch and his siblings are seeking approval to place their remaining 23% ownership share of the Giants into trust for their children. The emails uncovered among millions of documents released by the Justice Department earlier this year show Epstein introducing Tisch to several women and discussing them in crude terms. The messages date back to 2013, 5 years after Epstein had already been convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution and registered as a high-risk sex offender. Tisch said his relationship with Epstein was brief and limited to conversations about business, movies, philanthropy, and adult women. Okay. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has said that the league will review the facts before deciding whether to open a formal investigation. Okay, yet another one. This is— if you are a student of crisis communications, as I am, this Epstein case continues to be the most— one of the most fascinating, if not the most fascinating crisis communications issue of our time, perhaps ever. Because as far as I can tell, there's only really one person who has escaped having their entire career destroyed by connections to Epstein. More about that person in a moment. But let's look at some more facts on this case. Following the transaction, the sellers will no longer own any interest in the club. So the NFL doesn't want to be tainted with connections to a pedophile. Okay. So they're obviously nervous. There's going to be pressure on the NFL to say, hey, you can't own an NFL team if you are in bed with a pedophile. That's the reality. So now it's basically, oh, I'm giving it to my children. Now, is this meaningful? Is this just a tax dodge? Is this just something artificial, will he continue to have a role in running the team and making big decisions? So that's the issue, because if he's just giving it to his children a couple of decades earlier and he still gets to run things and he's still really rich, it raises the question, what really happened here? Not much of anything. So here's what Tish says. As we all know, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with. Well, we don't all know that part. We know the first part. We don't know the second part. We don't know that he deeply regretted associating with him. It may be that he deeply regrets getting caught. He may simply regret the fact that it came out. He may think, well, it was a great guy, had a lot of fun with him, and there might not be regret there. So I don't know that. We can't read his mind. NFL commissioner saying, hey, we're going to follow up on this. So some more facts. Steve Tisch is a co-owner and chairman of the New York Giants. He served as the Giants executive vice president since 2005, so he clearly has a lot of power. His family— it's good to have a rich daddy, by the way— purchased 50% of the team more than 30 years ago. And again, the issue is all the communication he had with Epstein long after Epstein was convicted. One message described a woman as, quote, a 10-ass. I'm trying to keep things family-friendly here. That's hard to do when giving facts from FBI documents about Epstein files and emails. So Tish claims the conversations mostly include conversations about movies and philanthropy. I'm sure some of them did. This Epstein character did have wide-ranging interest, shall we say. But again, let's look at the record. The people who associated with Epstein long after the days of him being convicted for crimes— Prince Andrew lost his title, lost basically everything has been arrested. You've got Leslie Wexner, who is still immersed in scandal because of all the connections. You have Leon Black, the Apollo Global Management CEO, forced to step down because of payments involving Epstein. Ghislaine Maxwell, of course, went to prison. You have a lot of people who've had any kind of association with him have their careers destroyed. Famously, former Harvard President Summers has had to step away from all professional designations and all professional associations with Harvard, hedge funds, everything else. His career is destroyed. You have Dr. Peter Attia, who was really held in high esteem. I had his book right here on set every day. I had to take it down. It's now over here. He got so much rightful criticism because of nasty, vile things he said about women in his emails that surfaced from Epstein. So pretty much everybody who has had any kind of association with this guy Epstein has had their careers go up in flames. They've had to step down from other institutions. Here's yet another one. The only person who hasn't seemed to really step down is the current president of the United States. Aka also known as Jeffrey Epstein's best friend, also the person mentioned 35,000 times in the Epstein files. More on this in our final segment today. Want to communicate like a pro?

Missing Epstein records raise questions about Trump. Newly released FBI emails show investigators scrambling to understand what their Jeffrey Epstein files contained about Donald Trump and other prominent figures. In one internal message, an FBI agent listed 14 men connected to Epstein and instructed colleagues to gather any negative or derogatory information about them. Trump's name appeared— where do you think it appeared? In the middle? At the bottom? No, Trump's name appeared at the top of the list. Agents compiled summaries of tips and allegations they had received, including a claim from a woman who said she was assaulted by Trump as a teenager, and another account describing Epstein introducing a woman to him. Most of the tips were unverified, and investigators noted that many came from anonymous callers or secondhand sources. But the controversy intensified when some underlying interview documents tied to one allegation were initially missing from the Justice Department's public document release. Officials later said the files were mistakenly withheld as duplicates and were subsequently published. Critics say the missing records raise questions about transparency in the Epstein document release, while the White House has dismissed the allegation as completely baseless and unsupported by evidence. Now, this is from reporting in the New York Times today. The New York Times has been very slow on this story. National Public Radio has been much better, and not surprisingly, a number of media outlets from Great Britain and Europe have been much better about this. Apparently, many American media outlets are still living in such fear of the Trump administration and the Trump Department of Justice that they are holding back. And even the Times still isn't reporting news that most Americans would want to know, want to hear. They're sanitizing it. They're cleaning it up. Again, the allegations are a woman claimed in 2019 that President Trump and Epstein sexually molested her when she was between the ages of 13 and 15. That specifically— and I'm not saying this for prurient titillation, but these are facts regarding perhaps one of the biggest criminals of our era— and the allegation is that this 13-year-old girl, after being introduced by Epstein to Donald Trump, was forced to give oral sex to Donald Trump. These are the allegations. In documents released by our Department of Justice, and that apparently she hated doing that, bit the president down there, and he then hit her upside the head. I have no idea this is true. I do know it's true that those allegations were made in 2019 and that the FBI interviewed this woman. Now, typically, if someone is interviewed and it seems obvious they're crazy or lunatic or just making up stuff, the, the investigator would put notes to that effect. And you could say, well, this person is claiming it, that it happened in Antarctica, and there's no evidence of the president ever having been in Antarctica in their life. And so a fair-minded person could conclude this is just deranged nonsense, dismiss it. No more credible than saying I was abducted by space aliens and that's how I got pregnant. But that's not what happened. There's no, there's no record stating that. So here's what is intriguing to many people. The records state that this woman was interviewed not once, not twice, not three times, but four times. Now you may ask yourself, how often do FBI investigators go back to interview the same person 4 times using valuable government resources, valuable government time, to interview someone regarding criminal allegations 4 times if they think there's a good chance the person is crazy and just made it up? I honestly don't know the answer to that. I've not worked for the FBI. I would think that they would have better things to do. I would think that once any investigator concludes, well, this person is just clearly making this up because the facts don't bear it out, it's easy to determine this person is delusional. I would think that they wouldn't interview a person like that more than once, and I would think there would be notes reflecting that. But these are the very notes from these documents that we're not seeing. So that's what inquiring minds would like to know. What's— what were in the notes from these 4 different meetings? Now, the woman apparently decided, I don't want to be a part of this, and she ceased all communication. She refused. Doesn't mean her allegations weren't true. Doesn't mean they were true either. But once again, we are seeing a lot of funny business. The concern was always that Trump would simply order his henchmen and henchwomen at the Department of Justice, just delete anything that makes me look bad. And when we see the spreadsheets and see, okay, here's the record, here's this allegation, here were the 4 interviews by the investigators, and now normally the corresponding notes would be here and they're gone. I, I don't know how, unless you are a complete apologist, unless you're Carolyn Levitt and a complete 100% propaganda-spewing apologist for Trump.

Thanks so much for joining me today. As a special thank you to you, I'd be happy to give you at no charge an online course on personal development and communication skills. I hope you don't have to use these communication skills to fend off allegations you were associating with Epstein. I'm hoping you can use these communication skills to promote your candidacy for office or promote your new business. But if you're interested, go to ultimize.com and you can sign up for a free online communication skills course or habits building course. I'm TJ Walker. I will see you tomorrow. Thanks so much.
