Speaker 1 (00:00):
The story of what happened to eighteen year old Anna Kepner,
the Titusville High School student who died on a carnival
cruise about two weeks ago, is starting to come together and.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
It's pretty horrific.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
So, according to The Daily Mail, federal authorities maybe investigating
her step sibling for the murder. Her body was reportedly
found wrapped in a blanket under the bed in her
room on the ship. Now, an emergency motion was filed
Monday in Brevard County. Her stepmother, Chantel Hudson, requested extra
time to respond to filings tied to a divorce, citing
(00:32):
an extremely sensitive and severe circumstance, and the filing states
currently there is an investigation being conducted by the FBI
arising out of the sudden death of eighteen year old
Anna Kepner, and it noted that she and her children
were all on the cruise ship with Anna and her father, Christopher,
when the girl was found dead. And it said the
(00:54):
respondent has been advised through discussions with the FBI investigators
and her attorneys that a criminal case maybe initiated against
one of the minor children of this instant action. So
that looks like her son, This woman's son is being investigated.
The step sibling or the step brother of Anna Kepner. Now,
(01:15):
we got a message on TikTok the other day before
any of this information was public, somebody telling us that
she knows a family member who said the stepbrother did it,
that he was obsessed with Anna, and that at times
he wasn't allowed to go to the house because of
this obsession and there was a fear of him. And
she gave some more details about what allegedly may have happened.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I'm not sure if I should really repeat.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
That because it's speculation at this point, but the fact
that this is now coming out and we got that
message the other day before any of this was public,
kind of looking like it may have been the stepbrother.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, it's all making a little bit more sense now.
The FBI investigating boarding the ship after the body was found,
all of that. It was just so mysterious, but now
again starting to make a little bit more sense.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
It's also interesting though that the father said last week,
we don't know anything about what happened, So did he
really not know or was he just kind of protecting
a family at the time. We don't know this trending
story brought to you by Trajanwealth. Visit them at trajanwealth
dot com. President Trump gives the media a hard time
pretty much every day, but what he said to Bloomberg
reporter Catherine Lucy on Air Force one on Friday was
(02:22):
especially nasty. She was asking him some tough questions about
the Epstein files and the email that said he knew
about the girls. And here's what he said, quiet quiet piggy.
So it's really hard to hear the rest of the exchange,
but yeah, quiet, quiet piggy.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
So the White House responded to this.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
And said this reporter behaved in an inappropriate and unprofessional
way towards her colleagues on the plane. If you're gonna
give it, you have to be able to take it well.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
And you know, for some people, piggy might be a
term of affection. Maybe, I mean, perhaps that's like his
pet name for Milania.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
But it's not the first time he called someone piggy.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
So Lisia Maschadow, who won the Miss Universe pageant in
nineteen ninety six when he owned the pageant, said that
Trump called her Miss Piggy back then and told her
she needed to lose weight.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
So okay, and you're at that on it could be
a little a little tough. So Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar,
she was on CNN yesterday and she was asked about that,
and her response was, you know, no one's perfect, right,
So you're saying if I were to say, if you
were talking, I.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Was like, dang dang, Dana, Piggy quiet, Piggy cut me off.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
That wouldn't well, no, I'd probably throw my copy in.
Good to Know, Good to Know.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
This trending story brought to you by Trajanwealth. Visit them
at Trajanwealth dot com. A couple of weeks ago, we
talked about six seven being dictionary dot COM's word of
the year. That one was inspired by a viral trend
kids picked up on the Cambridge Dictionary just revealed their
word of the year and they say it was inspired
by Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey's engagement and the word
(04:09):
is parasocial, which refers to people feeling like they have
a relationship with a famous person even when they don't
know them personally. Those and they say the amount of
excitement over Taylor and Travis's engagement was parasocial behavior like
all these fans were reacting like they know them and
(04:30):
they were so happy for them. And so that's why
they picked this word parasocial. And that's what I was
going to ask you, because you watched so much TV.
Do you feel like you have a relationships?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Absolutely? Deal, like twenty girlfriends.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I could give you a whole list. I'm dating lots
of famous women these days.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
President Trump was roasted for appearing to fall asleep during
the Oval Office event about lowering drug prices a couple
of weeks ago. And it's probably because, as we know,
he really doesn't sleep all that much. So yesterday, during
the press conference with the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salmon,
Saudi reporter said she had a personal question for Trump.
(05:07):
She kind of buttered him up about how hard he
works for peace, and then she asked him how he
manages his time.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
No, he's not a sleeper. I'm not a sleeper.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
We don't we talk at night.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
We can talk. I can call him almost any time,
because Hi, how you doing. It's like crazious times. But now,
when you love your job, when you love your country,
and when you're in a position like we are, future
king highly respected crown prince, and in my case, President,
(05:38):
you're thinking about your country. You're thinking about making America
great again. We're thinking about keeping Saudi Arabia strong and final.
And he thinks about his country, and I think about
my country.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
I don't want to sleep.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah, so Trump does not sleep.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
And then I don't know if you saw this, but
Jade Vance was on Hannity last week and this is
what he had to say about trumps sleeping habits.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
I joke with some of the cabinet because as the president,
I can't travel together.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
That's one of the things.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Never on the same airplane, and they're always like that
was saying, you're so lucky because if we go on
a twenty hour trip somewhere, he doesn't sleep the entire time.
And of course if he's not sleeping, if he's working,
he expects everybody else to be working too. So again,
the energy that the guy has really is off the charts.
(06:23):
But again, you've got to have that level of energy
to digit this job successfully.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, he did look like he was nodding off that
day a couple of weeks ago, but I can kind
of see it if he just never never sleeps. Eventually,
it's going to catch.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Up with him.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah, I don't blame him for taking a quick nap
through in one of those Oval office events. I mean,
we've all struggled. We struggled through work meetings. The drone
on in the middle of the day and it's hard
to stay awake. But I tell you what, one issue
you can't get on Trump about is constantly working.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I mean he's just on all the time.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Two aam true social posts. We see them all the time.
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
This trending story brought to you by Trajan Wealth. Visit
them at treealth dot com. Marjorie Taylor Green spoke yesterday
before the House vote on the Epstein files, and she
reacted to Trump calling her a trader.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
This is what she had to say.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
And he called me a trader for standing with these
women and refusing to take my name off the discharge petition.
Let me tell you what a trader is. A trader
is a is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
A patriot is.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
An American that serves the United States of America and
Americans like the women standing behind me.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, so that was quite a dig at President Trump.
And then one of the victims also spoke and had
a message for him and to.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
The President of the United States of America, who is
not here today. I want to send a clear message
to you. While I do understand that your position has
changed on the Epstein files, and I'm grateful that you
have pledged to sign this bill, I can't help to
be skeptical of what the agenda is. So with that
being said, I want to relay this message to you.
(08:04):
I am traumatized. I am not stupid. I am traumatized.
I am not stupid. You have put us through so
much stress, the lockdowns, the halt of these of these
procedures that were supposed to have happened fifty days ago.
The Adelita Grihoalva who waited to get sworn in and
then get upset when your own party goes against you
(08:25):
because what is being done is wrong.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
So hopefully this will all be kind of over soon
and we'll get the release of the files.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
But I'm not holding my breath that we're going to
get everything.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
I think.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I can't remember if she was the one the victim
who is a Trump supporter, voted for Trump, but then
you know, came out and said Hey, like, I just
hope he does the right thing here with these with
these files.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
This trending story brought to you by Trajan Wealth.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Visit them at trajanwealth dot com. I saw this everywhere yesterday.
German twins Alison Ellen Kessler, who were known as the
Kessler Sisters, a musical group who toured Europe. They performed
Frank Sinatra. They appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show years ago.
They died together at the age of eighty nine in
an assisted suicide. So the German Society for Humane Dying
(09:12):
told The Guardian that the sisters were so close they
didn't want one to go first. They didn't know how
one would live without the other. During an interview last year,
they said, the idea that one will.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Go first is very difficult to hear.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So they've been considering this and weighing their options, deciding
when the best time would be for the last couple
of years, and they decided to do it. Medically assisted
suicide is legal with some strict rules in Germany, and
the eighty nine years old.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, you know, I think at that point, if you
want to, they had a good.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Run, right Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, they decided I just can't even imagine that, Like,
I don't know, I just think the whole thing's crazy.
