The Trish Regan Show - Mamdani KICKED OUT?! Congress Calls on DHS to DEPORT Amid Secret Iran Negotiations?!

Episode Date: July 13, 2026

Mamdani may have done it this time… Allegations of Logan Act violations come just as President Trump doubled down on Iran: we’re taking over the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, the Trump administ...ration is on the hunt for “leakers” inside the so-called “deep state” — after a NY Times report on the Iranian threat against the President’s life being an impetus for a last-minute plane change, the Pentagon announced a new joint effort with the DOJ to punish leakers. Lindsey Graham’s cause of death has been revealed — but that’s not enough for some who question why a 71-year-old is suddenly dropping dead of a heart attack. We examine the controversy and his legacy. And, just in: a developing story out of the state of Maine today after a fatal shooting involving ICE agents occurred in Biddeford. ✅ Help support independent journalism — become a TRISH TEAM member:  ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBlMo25WDUKJNQ7G8sAk4Zw/join ✅ Get my newsletter and start investing today!

Good to have you guys here.
Starting point is 00:01:01 We get some breaking details coming into us out of Bitterford, Maine that I want to get to shortly. An ice incident there, and now you have people rioting like you wouldn't believe. Hopefully that doesn't turn into another Minnesota type thing. Anyway, we're going to talk about that. We're also going to talk about Lindsay Graham. My gosh, I mean, I couldn't believe that, right? I got a note from a friend actually on, was it Sunday morning, yesterday morning? I'm like, what are you talking about? Lindsay Graham is no longer with us. I couldn't believe that.
Starting point is 00:01:32 Of course, a lot of questions right now, given what he was just up to, given that he was just over in Ukraine and he was going to get the Russian sanctions put back in, given that we saw what Iran was saying. I mean, look, you know, in this case, he was, what, 71 and his dad died at 69 of a similar type thing. I mean, get your heart checked, for goodness sakes. Health is so, so important. We will talk. all about Lindsay and we're going to talk some more about what the plan is with Iran because we're taking over the strape baby, you better believe it. Oil's back up around 80, but you know what it's going to be what it's going to be and I have a lot to say on that. For all of you,
Starting point is 00:02:11 welcome to the show, make sure you subscribe, share, like, all that stuff. The FCC is launching or rather forgive me, the Congress is launching a new attack if you would on Mamdami. Congress wants to deport this guy, at least some key members of Congress and they're using the latest on Iran as ammunition. You know, Chip Roy out of Texas, let me bring that a little bit closer to me. Chip Roy out of Texas has introduced this so-called Mamdami Act. That was in the last eight weeks or so to denaturalize and deport Marxist and Islamic fundamentalist.
Starting point is 00:02:45 You get it? Mamdami. Clever, clever. Anyway, the idea here is that it may have gone too far with concerns about, and I was going to say allegations, but they're not allegations, one of his staff members actually tried to set up a meeting with the Iranians. Oh, okay, that's weird, right? And he's kind of in a bad position right now as he tries to run defense on this.
Starting point is 00:03:14 But you have Republicans like Chipproy coming out in blazes here saying, well, you know what? We knew we wanted to deport this guy already. Now we have more evidence. So this was the bill that had just been introduced about eight weeks ago, called the Mamdami Act to deport, basically denaturalize and deport, I should say, Marxist and Islamic fundamentalists. And it was, you know, also Mamdami Act of 2026. Mamdami Act enacts sweeping immigration law changes that would deport to naturalize, deny U.S. citizenship, or entry to any alien who is a member of the Socialist Party, a Communist Party, the Chinese Communist Party, or Islamic Party. fundamentalist party or advocates for socialism, communism, Marxism, or Islamic fundamentalism.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Additionally, the legislation would create new definitions for each of these terms and repeals existing loopholes, including chain migration and fraudulent claims in current immigration law that have facilitated the mass importation of Marxists and Islamists. Why do we continue, says Chip, to import people who hate us, not just for the last six years, but for the last 60 years, our immigration system has been cynically used to disadvantage American workers' competitiveness in favor of mass importation of the third world. This has not just led to higher crime and lower wages, but also to hostile ideologies, fundamentally opposed to American values.
Starting point is 00:04:36 So this is now gaining some steam in part because of what Mamdami's staff has allegedly tried to do. Let's go to, of course, the media is out for blood. They're very critical of this saying that Mandami's Act is a new low-endomis act. nativism. Okay. Wow. So, you know, this has come about in part because of what we've seen happening there out in Minnesota. And of course, what we've got happening in Iran right now. By the way, you can't trust those guys. What did I tell you the other day? You cannot trust Iran. You can never trust Iran. They were a lion to Obama and they were a lion to Trump and he is livid. He's furious. We're going to get to his comments that he made today on Iran and his plans for the
Starting point is 00:05:20 Strait of Hormuz. We're going to take it over. And we're going to get paid to do it, apparently. More on that in a moment. But first, back to Chip Roy, who is really coming out swinging against Mamdami. And anybody who he considers a Marxist or Islamic fundamentalist, here is Representative Chiproy out of Texas. Listen. Pause immigration.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Just stop it. Stop all immigration. Because if it's going to be exploited for people to come here when they're pregnant, people allow somebody who's the working for the Chinese Communist Party, and to come here and have children to become American, citizens and then have our laws exploited like they were into the previous administration. It is why this Congress should act to pause all immigration. This Congress should act immediately to codify what the president has been doing to close the loopholes under asylum and parole,
Starting point is 00:06:10 the catch and release policies, and to codify those that a future Biden and myorkas administration cannot do to the American people what these radical leftists did to the American people. and then dare sit here and testify under questioning by my colleagues that we need to have more taxpayer money going to the local jurisdictions to make up for what they caused. Wow. So Mamdami has a lot of controversy, as you may know, around him. I want to get to what he may or may not have filled out on the naturalization forms. This would be Form N400, kind of an important form, and there's an important form. thing that he may have not checked off that could lead to deportation. In fact, we'll get to that. But before I do, here's what's concerning about Iran. Oopsie Daisy. There I am. For any of you who ever doubt that this show is live or not, here I am. The big concern right now is whether or not Mamdami's working for us or working for someone else, all right? And it doesn't even need
Starting point is 00:07:20 to be avertly someone else. It doesn't need to be that he's getting paid by China. It doesn't need to be that he's on the Iran in a spy list. It could be as simple as his allegiance just isn't to America. His allegiance is to a socialist, communist philosophy that does favor the likes of Iran. So this obviously is a big concern when we get a headline like this one, a top Mamdami official tried to meet with Iran. This is Anna Maria. Ancilla, the commissioner for international affairs at the New York City mayor's office. She almost took a meeting with the Islamic Republic's ambassador to the UN. What is going on?
Starting point is 00:08:01 I mean, not okay, okay, just not okay. According to City Journal, the top official in the Zohran Mamdami's administration's office for international affairs, I mean, why the heck is he hiring people like this, you guys? Why? Why? You're the mayor of New York City. By the way, why do you have an international affairs office? For goodness sakes, you're a little mayor of a, well, rather big city that's increasingly becoming smaller because everybody's leaving. Nobody wants to stay there. Financial capital of the world for how long until Texas takes it over, for goodness sakes, with the Texas Stock Exchange because they got a better tax rate and they got a better government in Florida as well. Anyway,
Starting point is 00:08:45 here is this lady, okay? So she's making plans to meet with Iranian ambassador, Anna Maria, Arquila. She's scheduled to meet with Amir, Saeed. Oh, we could just do a whole show on Trish trying to pronounce everybody's names, right? Arivani. This is Iran's permanent representative to the UN at two United Nations Plaza. And so she's thinking she's just going to waltz over there, maybe bring Mam Dami with her, and they can negotiate some kind of peace deal, if that's what was really being negotiated.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Anyway, they were going to do this on July 7th at 11 a.m. And then somehow the State Department found out about, oh yeah, Marco Rubio found out about it. Let me tell you, that's not good for Mamdami. No, no, no, no. It's not good for Mamdami. And it's not good for Anna Maria there, Archaia, Carcala, Killa, whatever. And this guy, so they were going to meet at 11 a.m. on that day. And then all of a sudden the State Department finds out, and the City Journal learned that the
Starting point is 00:09:47 commissioner, well, I don't know if this is true or not, allegedly never informed the mayor. So that's what he's saying. Okay, the mayor's out there like, no, I had no idea. And she's been, you notice I underlined, reprimended for the move and directed to cancel the meeting according to the source familiar at the office. Reprimanded. I mean, how about fired, fire her behind. Okay, because you don't go and make, I mean, Are people that dumb? I mean, or that full of themselves, or that stupid, or maybe they are working for the Iranians, right? For goodness sakes, why would you be making a meeting with the UN ambassador to Iran? I mean, it's unbelievable from the New York City mayor's office talking about a bad look, right? I mean, he's got enough problems that it is. He's seen as hugely anti-Semitic, hugely anti-capitalist, and now he's got a woman on his staff who's out there trying to court the Iranians, for goodness sakes. What a loser. Now stuck in
Starting point is 00:10:53 damage control mode, right? Because his aide decided to go have a few little meetings. Now, here's the question. Like, do we give him the benefit of the doubt? I'm not willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I'm sorry. No, no, no, no. I think the fact that he's just reprimanded her, the fact that he has not fired her, the fact that she went and did this was somehow a-okay in his eyes. the fact that he hired a woman that was willing to do this is A-OK in his eyes, and she's still there. Living off a taxpayer funds, funded by the people in New York City who were stupid enough to elect this guy. I don't think he's going to get a second term. I really don't. I think that, you know, it's all kind of coming out, but this is his doing. So now they're looking at deporting him
Starting point is 00:11:36 based on the Logan Act, okay? This is the concern here. You know, he maybe lied on his form N-400 and he maybe has violated the Logan Act. What is the Logan Act? Well, it does not allow for any kind of... The Hulu original series Furious is coming to Disney Plus, starring Emmy Rossum. Furious follows FBI agent Alice Black on the hunt for a mysterious and calculating serial killer.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Both walk their own paths toward justice, and as their lives start to intertwine, the line between right and wrong, begins to blur. Don't miss the three-episode premiere of the Hulu original series Furious. On July 27th, only on Hulu on Disney Plus. On July 16th, the Hawk lands on Netflix. From the mind of Will Ferrell. Oh, Mama, I'm back.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Come in a month! Get ready, get ready. That's it. Did I stutter? When an iconic pro golfer. Lonnie? Lonnie. Huck! Takes one last swing at greatness. You were a big shot golfer.
Starting point is 00:12:42 I still ain't. I am a big shot golfer. No one. Dad, I'm the Hawk now. We'll stand in his way. That's how it's done. The Hawk, only on Netflix, July 16th. This episode is brought to you by L'Oreal Group.

Starting point is 00:13:25 Let's start there. It's illegal for any U.S. citizen without authority from the U.S. government to, one, carry-on correspondence or any kind of relationship with foreign government or its agents with the intent to influence that foreign governments measures or conduct and disputes or controversies within the U.S. or to perhaps defeat the measures of the United States. And guess what? You can get a penalty, like a fine or three years in federal prison. I think it's supposed to be a misdemeanor, so I don't know why you get the three years in federal prison, but I guess they're not messing around on this stuff. This is Code 18 U.S.C. 953.
Starting point is 00:14:02 And the idea here is you have one central government handling all of the foreign policy. So, Marco's responsible for it. Not Mam Dami, thank you very much. God help us. Never, Mam Dami. Because I'd much rather have this guy any day of the week. Iran likes to sponsor proxy groups of terrorists. And these terrorists don't care what they blow up. They blow up anything and everyone.
Starting point is 00:14:27 This is who we're dealing with. This is an Iran that not long ago, through their Hezbole of proxies, blew up a Jewish center in Argentina and killed a bunch of people. This is an Iran that innovated, use of roadside bombs that killed and maimed a bunch of people, including American servicemen, but a bunch of other people. This is an Iran that has organized the assassinations and the attempted assassinations of people all over the world, including civilians and dissidents and people that don't agree with. There is no nation on earth that sponsors more terrorism than
Starting point is 00:14:58 Iran. And they've spent millions and millions of dollars sponsoring terrorism and targeting individuals all over the world, and including civilians, have been caught up in that. That's what Iran has done. They did spend their millions and millions on building roads and bridges and improving the life of their people. That's why their people are always in the street protesting, because their economy has been in shambles, because they don't invest in their economy. They would rather invest in Hezbollah. They would rather invest in the rapist and the murderers of Hamas. They would rather invest in those groups than they do in their own people. That's what Iran invested. And that's what the world, that's what you should be asking me about. That's what the BBC
Starting point is 00:15:34 should be covering. And that's what these other media outlets should be covering, is how evil these people are in Iran and the damage they've done to people all over the world. The world's leading sponsor of terrorism is Iran. And look what they're doing now. They are holding hostage. Civilian vessels, including ships that have now been stuck in the Persian Gulf, they've laid mines in an international waterway. And yet, despite all of that, the United States remains committed to finding a peaceful. Well, no, we're not committed anymore. So that was from maybe 10 days ago or so. You got to keep up. You got to be fast around here. We're not coming in anymore. We're right back to the starting point of Iran is very, very evil, and we are not going to allow for them to take
Starting point is 00:16:19 over the straight of her move. So we're leaving that embargo. I have a whole theory on what we can do and what we should do, and we'll get to that in a second. But before I digress, just to see you know, there's this thing called the application for naturalization. U.S. CIS form N-400. And in this particular form, it's like 14 pages long, you have to fill out all kinds of information on who you are and who you've been. Okay, so Memdami, you know, they asked you specifically. They asked you whether or not you would have done anything in your past that would have put you at odds effectively, right, with being a U.S. citizen. In other words, have you ever had anything to do with a terror organization? Have you ever been involved in any group?
Starting point is 00:17:09 A group that was against the U.S.? I think this would be on page 7, if you would, of 14. Gosh. So you, as I understand, Mr. Memdami produced, acted, sang in some little rap song. And in that rap song, you were praising Hamas. And then, well, let's see if I can find the exact one, because it's like, have you ever ordered and cited, called for, committed, assisted, health, with, or otherwise participated in any of the following, torture, genocide, killing or trying to kill a person, intentionally, or severely
Starting point is 00:17:47 injuring, or trying to injure another person, I mean, it goes on, not letting someone practice his or her religion, causing harm or suffering to any person because of his or her race, religion, national. So you do realize that, you know, if you're kind of promoting a terror organization in your rap song, I think you probably are in violation of like a lot of these. I'm just going on on a limb here. You know, if you were to have filled out this form correctly, and if you didn't fill out the form correctly, then guess what? Oh, we can deport you. So have you, have you ever received any, well, he didn't have weapons training. So he's okay on that one, but there is, were you ever part of a group,
Starting point is 00:18:30 or did you ever help any group unit or organization? Ah, I see. So this could be a problem right there, number 10A. He was not truthful on this, on top of which he didn't come clean on his communist association with that little group that he's part of now that's trying to take over American politics. Apparently, some Democrats, I saw some sound from Gavin Newsom today, are suddenly fine with.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Oh, big 10. Big tent, big tent, my, you know what. Okay, people, no, no, no, no, no. You don't want these crazy Marxists, they hate America in there. You see what's happened, though? You know why this is going on? It's because I'll tell you. Donald Trump is too smart for all of them.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Donald Trump comes along and he's suddenly like pro-working class. Let's get wages up. Let's get rid of not only NAFTA. I'm willing to tear up, not just NAFTA, but my own trade deal that I did with Mexico and Canada because it's up for renewal and I don't think we're getting a good enough deal. So he just tore that one up the other day, and the next thing you know, Toyota leaves Mexico, re-convenes in Texas with a big investment of $3.5 billion.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Now, how's that for help in the working people? You wonder why unions are now saying, we're out of here? I mean, you've got one of the union chiefs saying, I don't want anything to do with this guy, and our members don't want anything to do with this guy, because why do we want somebody who embraces socialism? We don't want Mamdami in New York. And I'm just saying the deportation thing could be a very big deal because he was not truthful from what I can tell. And this is something Andy Ogles has been making a big deal out of, right? Andy Ogles actually from Tennessee has been calling for this for some time.
Starting point is 00:20:17 And now you couple together the violation of the Logan Act. I mean, you're looking at a big to do. All right? Like, bye, bye. Zahran Mamdani. You can go back to Uganda. Really, I mean, we just don't need you here in light of your anti-Americanism. It's not going to work for us.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Not at all. Meanwhile, we've got all kinds of intelligence concerns. We're trying to vet out. I mean, we've got to worry about Mamdami and his staff putting together meetings with Iran, while simultaneously we're going to worry about Iran taking out our own president of the United States. we also have to worry about any kind of intel that's getting leaked. Because the president knew that there was a threat against his life. It's one of the reasons we now know that he changed his plane.
Starting point is 00:21:17 However, the media was not to have known this. It got leaked out by someone, perhaps someone on Secret Service. I don't know. Someone in the Intel department. somebody leaked it to the New York Times. And now they're going to find out who that leaker is because Pete Hagseth is teaming up with Todd Blanche. You get the Department of War and the DOJ together saying,
Starting point is 00:21:39 enough is enough is enough. We're not going to go for this anymore. You guys are in trouble. Whoever's doing the leaking, it's got to stop because you're putting people in harm's way. I'm getting to that. But first, keep in mind what the president was saying, the party line.
Starting point is 00:21:53 I mean, he's like, yeah, it's a threat. But he had a whole different line about the plane. as he departed Turkey going into the weekend watch. Except we sent it a little early. Same line going back. We sent it a little bit early so that we could let them see. The whole base came out and saw the plane and then we landed. Do you know why they had us close our window blinds?
Starting point is 00:22:16 That was no. Well, yeah, because you're probably on a dangerous way because the sleaze bags that we have to do. It's anything that Iran was possibly thinking. If they asked you to close your windows, probably they didn't ask me to close mine, but if they did, I would have done it. These are sick people. So I could see something like that. I didn't know they did that, but I could see something like that.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Were you aware of any credible threat by Iran against Air Force One? I haven't threat all the time. I'm number one on their list before you. But if I go, you go. Right? But was there a specific thing? Perhaps somebody you want to change professions. You know, maybe.
Starting point is 00:22:59 You should rethink this media thing, especially flying on board, Air Force One. Wow. Okay, so you can see he's telling one story. He's kind of like, yeah, you know, like this threat has always existed. Nothing new. Thank you very much. But it had been ratcheted up because apparently the Secret Service did not want him flying on that particular plane, which was the one that had been gifted by Qatar, because of concerns that it didn't have the same protections should the Iranians try and shoot him down. And then we learned that Israel had very specific intel that, in fact, that's exactly what they were trying to do.
Starting point is 00:23:36 So now they're trying to figure out who leaked that to the New York Times. Now before you say, oh, you know, gosh, darn it, the poor media, I'm going to tell you this. Nobody should be leaking that information. No, because that's actually a matter of national security. So over the weekend, Jay Clayton came out and he subpoenaed the New York Times. And they were like, oh, my gosh, oh my gosh. Okay, they're probably going to have to devolve that information because this is actually serious enough.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Because if someone on the team is willing to tell the New York Times, then maybe they'd be willing to tell others. And if others know of the security vulnerabilities, then they are going to take advantage of this. You see, this is how people get killed. This is how you run a risk with the president of the United States. This is why you can't actually have that. You just can't. Now, I'm not blaming the reporters here, right? just the messengers. I mean, I am a little bit because if I had that information,
Starting point is 00:24:28 I'd probably go straight to the administration and tell them as opposed to publish it. However, however, in the interest of freedom of the press, okay, the press can print whatever it gets, but why the heck is it getting the information? What is going on at the top that they feel like they can just go in chat, chat, chat away, little chatty Kathy's with the New York Times? It's not supposed to work that way. We'll go to CNN, of course, takes the side of And again, I'm not picking on the journalists here. I really am not. I'm picking on the people that actually leaked it.
Starting point is 00:25:02 And I have no problem with the administration getting really tough on those leakers. You come down, you come down hard. CNN doesn't like it. You know, they're going to have nothing to report. They're going to lose all their sources for goodness sakes. Oh, gosh, darn it. Yeah, this is personal for President Trump, this particular case. He's been angry about the news reports involving this new plane.
Starting point is 00:25:21 He said one thing to the public. He seemed to be lying. Government sources said another thing to the, the public indicating he was lying and then Trump was angry about news coverage, angry about being contradicted by his own government, by anonymous officials who seem to be trying to get the truth out about why this plane switch happened. So on one level, this is just very personal for the president, getting angry, getting embarrassed by the New York Times and other news outlets reporting what is actually going on with the plane. So you see that, you hear that, you hear about Cash Patel
Starting point is 00:25:53 being at the White House yesterday for meetings about this. And then, we hear about the subpoenas delivered to the homes of these Times reporters. What it shows is that the subpoena power of the government, an extraordinary power that has been controversial for quite some time, is being weaponized and used by this administration in a way that it's not been by other past administrations. Okay, so first of all, Obama was like the king of this. Cheryl Atkinson had her computer broken into by the Obama administration, James Rosen. I mean, I worked with both these folks.
Starting point is 00:26:26 So let's not pretend like this is something that has never happened before. However, in this particular case, let me just remind you, this is an issue of national security, serious national security. Because if someone knew the vulnerabilities on that plane and then communicated it to the New York Times, then they could have communicated it to anyone. And if you don't have that locked down, if you've got these kind of leakers on the team, you actually are running serious risk with everyone's lives, not just the president, but as you heard him say, hey, you know, we're in this together. You might want to get a new profession to the reporter
Starting point is 00:27:03 because if this plane goes down, yeah, you know what, you're coming with me. Here's Pete Hagseth talking about how serious this is and why they're going to buckle down as they should. Just out today, watch. As you know, we live in a dynamic and dangerous threat environment where access to and accumulation of closely held information is key to understanding our world. The unauthorized disclosure of sensitive War Department information has the very real potential to cause exceptionally grave damage to our national security and the operational integrity of our armed forces. To leak sensitive national defense information and secrets
Starting point is 00:27:43 betrays the men and women who wear our nation's uniform. It's a principle as old as war. And in the United States goes back to the foundation. of our republic. It does because you can go all the way back to George Washington who had to deal with the leakers. In other words, we're going to deal with them. And we're going to deal with them. However, we need to deal with them.
Starting point is 00:28:03 In this case, it's a joint task force between the Department of War and the DOJ. Because you cannot have that. You understand the vulnerability it puts everyone in. And what kind of jerk would go out there and blab to the media? Not a patriot. it. If you're doing that, I mean, they took care of it for goodness sakes. Why did you have to do that? They took care of it. We know what happened. They flew the other plane, all right? So it was being dealt with, but somebody felt like they had to get this information out there. And that person or people,
Starting point is 00:28:43 because typically to go with a story like that, you need at least two sources. I'm just going to tell you, these are short of the rules. I sometimes like three. You know, because you want to be super careful. So you're going to have at least two sources on record. Back to Pete. When a leak of department information occurs today, it's critical that we provide the Department of Justice and other partners in federal law enforcement,
Starting point is 00:29:04 including the FBI, with actionable information as quickly as possible. And that's why the Department of War and the Department of Justice have created a joint task force to identify and prosecute leakers. Yep, okay, so now they have a joint task force effective today. They're going after the leakers. Because if you have people that are leaking, they are not on the team, okay? And if they'll leak to the New York Times, who else will they leak to?

They are just delivering the news. In this case, though, it's whoever was actually leaking. And so if you have to subpoena the journalists, and if they have to turn over that information,
Starting point is 00:30:41 I mean, patriotism, you know, should win out for all of them. Granted, it's the New York Times. but I don't know why you're going to protect people that actually aren't protecting your country at that point. They really aren't. Just terrible stuff. So they're going to deal with this. You know that the FBI is involved now in the investigation. You get the DOJ involved and you've got, of course, the Pentagon involved.
Starting point is 00:31:06 So this is serious, serious stuff. Quick break here. I want to tell you about ethos. Gosh, I mean, we're talking about Lindsay Graham just keeling over there.

You've heard me talk about something that actually happened rather recently. A family I know lost their father, and he didn't have life insurance. It was sort of shocking
Starting point is 00:31:34 because, you know, you kind of think that these are things that people just kind of take for, I take it for granted. I'm like, in fact, when they came to me and they said, hey, do you want to do this ethos spot? I was like, well, doesn't everybody have this? No, no, no, no, no. And you know what? If you don't, listen, you're not alone. You are absolutely not alone. You need life insurance, though. If you have loved ones that are dependent on you, you've got to get it.

Anyway, we've been talking here about what's going on with the leaks in light of what happened with the president leaving Turkey. We're talking about what's going on with Mam Dami, trying to have a meeting, for goodness sakes, with his staff and Iran. And you think about what we are dealing with today. We are taking over the stray to Hormuz.
Starting point is 00:34:35 The president making that one very clear today in an appearance, not an appearance. It was actually just a phone in. He called in to Fox and Friends to talk about the latest, what has happened. He avoided talking about the story just yesterday in light of Lindsey Graham just passing. But today has now come forward with the plan, and the plan is we're going in, we're going in hard. And, Ron, good luck. Most of their equipment is gone. Their anti-aircraft stuff is gone.
Starting point is 00:35:04 We hit them very hard last night. Every time they send a drone, we hit them very hard. But we had a deal. What nobody knows, we had a deal. It was a done deal. And then they broke it. They always break it. We've had 10 deals with these people.
Starting point is 00:35:17 And so we're just going to hit them very hard. And we're going to keep the straight. And we'll probably run it. We'll become the guardian of the strait. Maybe you'll call it the guardian angel of the straight. And we should be reimbursed for that. When we do that, we're going to be reimbursed because the other nations are very wealthy.
Starting point is 00:35:33 They're on our side. And we can't be expected to do that for nothing, unlike we had for many years. So that's interesting to me. Very interesting what he said. We're going in, we're taking over the Strait of Hermuz and we're going to be reimbursed. We have some wealthy nations there. I mean, think about it.
Starting point is 00:35:51 You've got Kuwait, you've got Qatar, all of those nations that need to get their oil out. So if we go in and we secure it, and that would actually be a big commitment. Think about it from our Navy. So that would be a huge commitment on our part if we, in fact, are doing that. but we're willing somehow to do that in exchange for payment from these other countries. It's not going to do it for free. Look, here's the problem, guys. Iran is not truthful.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Iran never tells the truth. And in some ways we were a bit idealistic, shall I say, dare I say, because, you know, the president's like, well, hey, who wouldn't want to be part of the global world economy? I mean, Obama kind of thought the same thing. Okay, we'd give him a deal. That was a bad deal. give them a deal and they'll join the ranks of the elite in the global economy and all will be well. These people don't care about joining the global economy, right? They care about total
Starting point is 00:36:49 dominion, frankly the world, but certainly the region. So they want to control everyone. I mean, they're lobbing bombs over into everyone right now. Right? I mean, it's like they just, they don't care about making everybody angry at them. They often strike me as not having a whole lot of common sense. But there's a method to the madness in that they have such a hold over their population, such a stronghold on their population that they know they can force everybody to go without, without, without. It's a little harder for us, right? Because when energy prices get higher and higher, people get upset. And so consequently, you have an IRGC, third round, I get it, that is willing to suppress its people. You can't have a revolution because they still are in charge.
Starting point is 00:37:35 They're still controlling the security and they'll still kill anyone they have to. And then they just pretend. They make nice. They make all these, you know, pretences. Oh, yeah, yeah, we'll do a deal. We'll do a deal. Well, I think it's pretty clear. Now, we can't do a deal with them.
Starting point is 00:37:48 There's just no way. So what are we left with for choices? I guess we can just, yeah, take over the straight. That's what we're doing right now. We can take over the straight. We'll guard it. We'll get paid apparently to guard it. And then in a couple of years, once all the
Starting point is 00:38:05 pipelines are built, and that's my thesis. You've got to get those pipelines ASAP. You've got to get them, guys, because you cannot be reliant on having to control the straight forever. So two to five years, right, to get all those pipelines out of those important countries to get that oil out. And then you say, Sayanara. We don't care about the Strait of Hermuz. We don't have to care about Iran, because guess what, we found a work around. We found another way to get the oil. And that means all of those countries, Kuwait, Qatar, all of them. UAE, they're all going to have a path out, and they'll just avoid the straight-of-homuz altogether. I think that's your only solution at this point, with the president, of course, saying, we're going to take it all over. I mean,
Starting point is 00:38:53 that is a bold move, okay? It's a bold move. It's a big commitment for our Navy. I'm not entirely seeing this getting priced in fully right now to oil markets. I'll tell you, because you would think the oil will go sky high on something like that. I don't think anybody's holding out hope they certainly shouldn't be that things are going to change. You had the NASDAQ right now down about 1.7%. The S&P down 8 tenths of a percent. I'll tell you, we're taking it in stride under the circumstances. We really are taking this in stride because what I heard this morning from him was a real commitment
Starting point is 00:39:25 to going in and doing what's needed. Our Navy now having to take control of the straight, if you would. quick reminder, just a shout out to my model portfolios there, which have done extraordinarily well. Go check them out at 76research.com, 10 to 15 stocks in each and every one of those, that's my company that I co-founded with a very dear friend. But listen, I mean, how much does this change the picture? I think that Rob would argue my co-founder there at 76 Research that the fundamentals of a great economy are still here. The fundamentals of this transformation that we're seeing with productivity gains, et cetera, they are all still here. So it doesn't necessarily change
Starting point is 00:40:02 that picture, but it could have a damper effect on near-term economic gains and certainly what the president wants to do. The other reality of all this is you have to think about midterms, right? You might just have to write them off at this point. I don't know how much hostage we can be, you know, can we be held hostage by Iran and by the Democrats over midterms? Maybe the answer is you just do what you need to do and then you worry about the political consequences after the fact. as a realist often I'm like oh okay we have to care we have to we have to make sure that we win but I don't know at this point given everything that's been happening in the insanity that's coming out of places like Maine to think that they would put somebody like grand platinum in there you got a lot
Starting point is 00:40:45 of weird stuff going on and it's getting even we're going to get to too because let's just say maybe they don't have a grand platinum with quite those skeletons in his closet but they got plenty of socialist and communist where that came from. Yeah, the whole state is going a little bit nuts. So, yes, you have to worry about midterms, but right now, you got to worry about the world, and you don't want Iran having a nuclear weapon. I have a theory that, you know what, they were going to get it anyway. They were going to get it under Barack Obama. They might have gotten it under Donald Trump because they get all this stuff buried underground. You're going to have to excommunicate them from the entire world, and that's probably the only way that you're
Starting point is 00:41:27 going to ensure a safer future for everyone over there and everyone right here. It would help if the Europeans would try to understand that, right? Try. Maybe just try a little bit. Well, listen, he's getting bigger commitments out of NATO, so they may have to at some point. I want to turn to Lindsey Graham, who was a big proponent of us taking on Iran. Believe me, he was very much in favor of us defeating Iran. And that, that's a very much. That's actually led to a lot of people asking a lot of questions about the timing, because the Iranians who just had the Ayatollah's funeral were calling on death to America, death to Donald Trump. There's an assassination threat on Trump, not like there ever wasn't before, but, you know, they're doubling down on it somehow. And so a lot of people were like, did they have something to do with Lindsay Graham?
Starting point is 00:42:20 Meanwhile, you have Iran's ally that would be Russia that wasn't necessarily a Lindsey Graham. fan either, in part, because Lindsay was all set and ready as of this weekend to make sure the sanctions were back on Russia. Don't forget, guys. We actually pulled back on some of those sanctions because we wanted the ability for Russia to sell its natural gas to Europe and the rest of the world, given what was going on in Iran. But now, with Lindsay having gone over and met with the folks in Ukraine and coming back and saying that he had Congress ready to sign off on this one.
Starting point is 00:42:57 I don't know where this stands, but just think about this and try to understand, like, this is what is feeding the conspiracy theories about whether or not Lindsey Graham actually died of natural causes or not. Watch. We've reached agreement with the White House on a version of the Russian sanctions bill that they will support. It means it's going to become law. So when I get back to Washington, I'm going to go. with Senator Blumenthal to the Republican and the Democratic leader to see if we can find time
Starting point is 00:43:31 to move this Russian sanctions package that would give tools to President Trump to help end this war. There are some things we can do on the technology front to build on the lethality of Ukraine to protect itself from ballistic missile attack. If we did that combined with creating tools to punish those countries that prop up Putin that make money off this war, then I think we've got the best chance since I've been coming here in the last five years to get Putin to the peace table. So he was in Ukraine. Russia, well, let's just face it.
Starting point is 00:44:17 I mean, Putin has a history of polishing off his generals that he doesn't like, as well as any oligarchs he doesn't like, and they all seem to die mysteriously of these heart attacks. So, yeah, this is something that was raised online. And look, at this point, Lindsay's dad had died of a similar situation at 69 years old. He was 71, and apparently not in the best of health. He went over there, took a long flight. I'm sure it took a heck of a lot out of him. The president said, Lindsay was tired when I spoke with him when he came back.
Starting point is 00:44:53 So, sure, it could have been natural causes, but you do have the, FBI assisting in the final investigation here. And Laura Lumer put this one out. You know, she's occasionally dead wrong and she's occasionally spot on. And I think it's a question that a lot of us had, and me included, right, when I was looking at all of this coming in over the weekend, I'm like, how did he just die? Wasn't he just over in Ukraine? Didn't we just hear from him? And Laura points out, she's saying, did Russia just poison Lindsay Graham? There seriously needs to be an investigation. Russia just sent a delegation to Kamani's funeral in Tehran,
Starting point is 00:45:33 where the IRGC and funeral organizers were calling for, apparently herself, I didn't realize that, President Trump and Senator Graham to be assassinated. Lindsay Graham was in Ukraine one day ago calling for Russian sanctions. That's what we just saw, right? A Russian sanctions bill that he claimed the White House, reports. He actually told CBS News in a phone interview that he had total green light for this one, that it was indeed happening. She said, now he is suddenly dead from a random illness according to his staff. So how did that happen? And then she goes on to say, did Russia just murder a U.S.
Starting point is 00:46:12 Senator? Whoa. Okay. So that's like a big, but you know, look, she's saying what we all kind were wondering. And I was reading another piece by Mark Halpern, a great reporter, Mark Halperin, who put this in the, I think it was in the Daily Mail. And he didn't really get into this, but he did sort of touch on it. And he said, look, everybody's asking, everybody in Washington is asking this question. Even family members are asking this question, right? So not to, you know, overly feed the conspiracy, but at least to tell you, this is what's out there. On top of which you had Iranian TV saying, and I quote, I congratulate the Iranians, Iranian, this is apparently something from the Iranian, well, it would be the Ayatollah, I congratulate the Iranian people
Starting point is 00:46:56 on the death of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, who has been sent to hell. So he had a lot of enemies. We've got Iran on the list, we've got Russia on the list, and not to be outdone, Cuba as well. He said this not just a short time ago. and as to this commander in chief. He did something people talked about doing. You just wait for Cuba. Cuba is a communist dictatorship that's killed priest and nuns. They've preyed on their own people.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Their days are numbered. We're going to wake up one day, I hope in 26. In our backyard, we're going to have allies in these countries doing business with America, not narco-terrorist dictators, killing Americans. is a big frigging day. And everybody in the world is thinking differently than they were just a few days ago because of what you did. Hear that? It's your money calling. It wants a promotion.

Starting point is 00:48:32 He may not have seen things eye to eye with all of us, but he really did care about this country. I actually moderated the debate. He ran for president in 2016. Remember everybody was running for president back in 2016, So, because there was such a crowded field. We had an undercard debate. And I actually moderated that.
Starting point is 00:48:52 I was at Fox Business at the time, myself and another woman. We actually became the first two women. How do you like that? Not like we're wearing it on our sleeve or anything. PBS tried to come out and say they had the first two women that moderated an undercard debate. It's like, no, no, no, no, no, guys, we actually did it. But anyway, Lindsay was part of that debate, and he always had a great sense of humor and was nice to be around. and I would be in the green room with him over the years at various times.
Starting point is 00:49:16 Very, very nice to talk to. And he would come on my programs, and look, he'll be very missed. He became a very big advocate for the president in more recent years. He certainly had his times when he was very against what the president was saying as well. But here, this is what the president put out. He said, so sad, this is a picture of Lindsey Graham, and look at the hat he had. has on, make Iran great again. So he very much wanted to get in there and get a hold of Iran, maybe pull like a Venezuela type thing with Iran, and then all of a sudden he's gone.
Starting point is 00:49:58 And he's gone after he basically said, we're going to have some sanctions back on Russia. So, yeah, there's lots of questions. And Laura Lumer kind of leading the charge, if you would, on that with her question about how it is. that he just died so immediately. I'm curious just to see what you guys think about that. Again, I try not to feed these conspiracies, but this is one, in fairness, that everybody was asking about.
Starting point is 00:50:26 I see, we don't really have a lot of Lindsay Graham fans in here. I get it. I get it. Oh, goodness. But, you know what? It's still, you know, he leaves behind a tremendous legacy for sure. And I realize not everybody was a fan, but he's now no longer with us. And I was shocked. I was really, really shocked when I got that news.
Starting point is 00:50:47 I just couldn't believe it, right? I couldn't believe it. China, Iran, Cuba, they're all, oh, Russia, kind of, you know, they're all buddy buddies. And what do you know? What are they doing these days? They're buying gold. They're buying gold because gold has been going down. And now all of a sudden, and they're coming to the table looking for a few more ounces. We talked about this last week. I think it's really fascinating because you've got France. France is now repatriating it, all its gold, which is sort of wild. A lot of countries are doing this.
Starting point is 00:51:26 You've got China buying up in the month of June alone. They had the longest buying streak. They extended it since at least 2015. So you've got to go back more than, more than, almost, yeah, I guess more than 10 years, 2015. Wow. I mean, that's like kind of shocking, right? So they're buying up all this gold, the People's Bank of China. They have grown their holdings significantly. So that always kind of makes me feel good because, you know, I like gold too and I hold it. And when I see that there is, it probably shouldn't make me feel. I don't know if that makes me feel good.
Starting point is 00:52:06 But you know what I'm saying. Like it tells you that central banks think that gold is worth holding. And so I think that that kind of just reaffirms my viewpoint, which is that gold is worth holding. So go check it out. Trish loves gold and silver. You can talk to my friends over at KEPM. KEPM.

Maine is seeing a lot of riots. Have you guys been following this story as of today? You see They've been through the ringer, right, with Graham Platner.
Starting point is 00:53:08 And now the concern is, oh, my gosh, a Republican might just win. So the lefties have to come out and force because there was a situation. We're getting more information into us right now. But a fatal situation there with ice in Maine, in Bitterford, Maine. I know it very well. Bitterford, Maine, because, you know, I grew up just south of there in New Hampshire. And a deadly shooting happened. It is believed a Colombian man has been killed, and now the protesters are out in force.
Starting point is 00:53:38 Take a look. You guys going to arrest the killer or not? Are you going to arrest the criminal or are you guys going to go arrest the murderer down the fucking street? It's just private property? Yeah, is this private property? Okay, so this is interesting. So the protesters that are out there start to protest against, Susan Collins, and they're very angry with the police for being there. This is just the main
Starting point is 00:54:05 police for goodness. They're like, why aren't you out there arresting the ICE officers? I mean, they're just a bunch of nuts. Out. Vote her out. Vote her out. And they're screaming, vote her out. These are the protesters, the rioters gathering. They're in Maine today after the event this morning happened at 7.30 this morning in Bitterford, Maine. Let's go to the Fox Report on it. 17 minutes past the hour right now, anti-Aist protests outside the office of Senator Susan Collins after a deadly shooting in Maine involving an ICE agent. This is Bettaford where the shooting happened about 25 minutes south of Portland. Our correspondent Alexis McAdams is reporting live here in New York City.
Starting point is 00:54:49 She's got the latest details on what is happening there. Alexis. Hey, Sandra. So as you can see here on your screen, this is a live look at what's going on in Maine. We know federal agents are trying to piece together everything that happened as witnesses tell local media that ice. agents surrounded a car and repeatedly ordered the driver to get out. Then seconds later, we're told they heard gunshots and it was also captured on surveillance video. Listen to this. Oh, right. Okay. So that was captured all on surveillance video. Let's go back here. It was on clock. 17 minutes past the hour right now, anti-aism. We'll just go fast forward here. So you can see the cats as they hear the gunshots, right? Let's go back to that. I just wanted
Starting point is 00:55:32 to make sure I wasn't showing you anything. I shouldn't. There's certain rules. I should. I should clarify there are certain rules because this is a live stream right now. And I want to make sure that I'm not actually showing you someone who might actually be getting shot. So that's why I flinched when I saw that. Here we go. In Biddeford, Maine, if we want to pull that video up after the ICE involved shooting earlier this morning, we are told that the FBI and Maine state police are working the case right now.
Starting point is 00:55:58 And the feds have not yet said who was killed. So we're trying to figure that out. And basically for people watching, wondering what's going on, there's more unanswered questions than we know and we don't know what led up to the shooting. But hundreds of protesters, this to me would be the main story or they are gathering now near the scene of the shooting. They're holding signs and they're demanding answers, including this woman. I'm disgusted. This is horrible. I mean, we're the citizens of this country are literally being gunned down in the street for doing nothing for the color of their skin.
Starting point is 00:56:28 And ICE operations have been ongoing in the state of Maine. Back in January, Griff Jenkins went out with some of those ice agents, Sandra, who were part of what they called Operation Fresh Catch, rather. They were looking for migrants in the country illegally accused of committing crimes. Again, for this situation, we are sure exactly what happened. But the shooting and protests come as Maine Democrats are scrambling to replace Graham Platner in the upcoming Senate race. Many main voters had told me when I was out there, Sandra, that they're anti-ice and they say immigration enforcement is their top issue in the race. Just the other day when Plattner dropped out, his last words were F-I, so it's something that will continue. to watch as they head to Susan Collins office. All right, Alexis McAdams on that for us.
Starting point is 00:57:07 Thank you very much. So Bitterford, Maine, obviously upset right now. And this would be, I think, the second time this week that you've had a situation like this. We had another one down in Texas. Let me see if I can bring you some news coming to us right now from the AP. Again, as we look at this in real time, let's see if I can pull this off. Okie-dokey. So I want to just jump on screen with you here as we look at this. You can see this AP story as we see some of these protesters taking to the streets. You've got this woman there in the picture. Federal immigration officer fatally shot a Colombian man in Maine on Monday marking the second time in a week that U.S. immigration and customs enforcement agents have used deadly force. Senator Angus King of
Starting point is 00:57:58 Maine and Homeland Security Security Mark Wen Mullen told him that the officer opened and fired after the man tried to use his vehicle as a weapon against officers who were pursuing him for deportation in Bitterford. It is a small little coastal city on the southern coast of Maine, 23,000 people. He was in a vehicle, quote, King says, pulled out of the vehicle, and the term the secretary used was weaponized the vehicle, was shot by an ICE agent. The main attorney general's office, which is investigating the shooting along with the FBI and other agencies, said the initial statements suggest the motorist was trying to flee in the direction of the agent. The motorist was the target of the enforcement operation related to a final order of removal. Okay, so this
Starting point is 00:58:46 sounds like the agent was very concerned that perhaps his life was under threat because the person was coming directly at him. Gosh, it feels like what we saw, right, in the Midwest. not too long ago. It really does with the whole Renee good thing. So you can imagine like there are people primed and ready from the political perspective that want to try and take advantage of this, frankly, for the wrong reasons. And that's what we're seeing right now. Maine Democrats that are vying for Graham Platner's position are making a direct appeal to migrants and to Maine voters. They are using what happened this morning in Bitterford as part of their sort of arson. to go after this issue, and they are also campaigning in Lewiston, Maine, which is about 10 to 15% Somalian and trying to say, listen, you know, you guys could be victim too. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:59:42 Particularly in this Trump administration, we have seen the targeted racist and bigoted attacks on the Somali community specifically. To be clear, the Somali immigrant and refugee community has been a part of our community here. Lewiston particularly, but also the greater Portland area for decades. Okay, so I don't know if it's really going to work in Maine. I mean, maybe that'll deliver Lewiston for them. The question is what happens to the rest of the state? It is really, really liberal. I should caution you that.
Starting point is 01:00:15 It, for some reason, was really stuck on allowing boys, naturally born boys to compete in girls' sports. Remember, that was a big issue. The governor of Maine really met Donald Trump head on on that one. And I would just say that, you know, it's probably a mixed bag, but you have these extreme leftists trying to replace Graham Platner that are going to use this for all its worth. Let's go back to this. This is Jordan Wood who wants the gig. Jordan Wood. Is that ICE under the Trump administration is terrorizing our streets.
Starting point is 01:00:51 And we need a senator right now with the courage. to stand up to this administration and demand accountability of this agency. Lots of national pundits right now. Takes him a while, doesn't it? I'm like, come on, come on, spit it out, buddy boy. I want to comment about the people of Maine. I want to make one thing very, very clear.
Starting point is 01:01:16 Maine, it may be the whitest state in America, or one of them, but it is a state that welcomes the immigrant community, asylum seekers and refugees and they are as much a part of all of our communities at Maine as anybody else. Unbelievable. Really, really, really, really unbelievable. So, you know, they really are going to, they've got to come up and out against Donald Trump in all of this. Don't forget, because it's their only position. They can only be anti-Trump. So while you had the Democrats of yesterday year, and I mean, not even that long ago, I mean, as recently as 2015, before Donald Trump got out there, they were, oh, no, we got to shut the border. What do you think?
Starting point is 01:01:59 think Hillary Clinton was saying? What do you think Barack Obama was saying? This was a constant, okay? They saw open borders as a thing of the Republican Party and the globalists, the global elites, and they were all about controlling the borders because it was important for American workers. And then all of a sudden, once Donald Trump's got it, they don't have it anymore. So they've kind of been put into this corner, if you would, and they're like, what do we stand for? What do we stand for? We have to stand for anything that, well, we want to be against anything that Trump is for. So you understand you are no longer the party that's actually trying to do anything. You're just the anti-Trump party.
Starting point is 01:02:34 And it puts you in kind of a precarious position because he's got a lot of common sense ideas. And now your ideas, they're definitely not common sense. Here is Tom Holman say, hey, you know what? Everybody. Everybody is on the table right now. We're not looking to say, oh, okay, maybe you didn't commit a crime. His idea is the fact that you're here illegally is a crime in and of it. itself. So yes, they've been ratcheting this up, and they have every indication of continuing to do so.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Watch. Well, I've said from day one, everybody's on the table. And if you look at the numbers, what I looked at yesterday, just over half of everybody were arresting is a criminal. So about half are non-criminal. So everybody's on the table. You know, when President Trump wants to prioritize public safety threats, yeah, we may prioritize and we got a list. We got four criminals and four non-criminals. Try to get the child predator first. But bottom line is, everybody's on table. The numbers show it's about half and half now. So, you know, and with the additional resources we got from the reconciliation bill, you wait to see what the numbers are this year. I'm not going to say in the last week, ICE has broken historic records every single day, and we're not going to stop.
Starting point is 01:03:43 We're going to add more resources. We want to add more targeting. We've got to get, we've got millions of people we need to find in the next couple of years. And that's exactly what we're going to do. Wow. Okay, so that makes a lot of people really uncomfortable and really unhappy. But you know what? So be it. In the meantime, these states are going to have to get with the program. These states are actually going to have to come forward. They're clamping down on commercial driver's licenses. I'll go back to Homeland on this one. They've revoked 28,000.
Starting point is 01:04:13 28,000 have been revoked. But that's only, they can't entirely tell who's here illegally, who's not here illegally, just on the driver's license records themselves. But this is Interstate Commerce, thank you very much. Interstate Commerce governs this. And you have a law that basically is on the books. There is no way these states can get around this one. The number of illegal commercial driver's license revoked as of May 1st was over 28,000,
Starting point is 01:04:38 which seemed significant. But out of how many, do you know what the denominator is? That's a work in progress because, again, getting information from, you know, some of the sanctuary states is a struggle. And Sean Duffy soon, DOJ soon, so we're trying to get all this information we can. And we got a lot of it. We got a lot of people looking for. Actually, some states, we're actually working way stations with the troopers trying to get these people that are coming through.
Starting point is 01:05:06 So it's a work in progress. President Trump's serious about this. Isis out there with local law enforcement and state law enforcement wherever they will allow us to work with them to ideally people and take them out the street. So, yeah. No one, no one's safe. They're going after CDLs. and up in Maine, they're going to try and use it to their political advantage. We'll see how much oxygen it really has and whether or not the elector is really and truly,
