The Trish Regan Show - 🚨 TRUMP BEATS BELGIUM TWICE — FIFA AND NATO!

Episode Date: July 6, 2026

FIFA rejects Belgium's appeal. Balogun plays. Trump wins. #FIFA first. NATO Next? The NATO Leaders are reeling not just from soccer — but, from the expectation that they commit to spend 5% of GDP on defense. Last night, many Europeans met for dinner in Turkey to discuss their plans and fury with Trump. The Wall Street Journal says it is being hailed, a “therapy session.” Join Trish Regan for the Full Edition of the Trish Regan Show. ✅ Help support independent journalism — become a TRISH TEAM member: ▶️    / @trishreganchannel   ✅ Get my newsletter and start investing today!

The Europeans have yet another reason to despise Donald Trump. The left has yet another reason. You know, I'll tell you one thing. If this call had been made by Kamala Harris, what would they be saying? Oh, my goodness, how amazing she is. She got our black American striker back into the game. Instead, it's Donald Trump who makes the call and they go wild. They are furious.

And by the way, the Belgians, they're kind of humiliated right now. But you know what? They deserve to be. I'm telling you, this was actually not a fair call. not a fair call at all. And by the way, I know a lot of people in the sports world, in the soccer world, I've been making the calls all day and getting the lowdown on this. This was not an appropriate call to have been made. There are questions about the ref, et cetera, but I'll tell you Donald Trump, if there's one perk that goes with being the president, it's being able to call occasionally,

the powers that begin saying, hey, would you take another look at that? And that's exactly what he did. Today, welcome to the program, everyone. I'm Trish Rie. You can make sure you subscribe. Let me know. Do you think this is the right call to make? He didn't care. He made it anyway. watch. But all I did, all I did, I asked for a review because I didn't think it was a foul. And, you know, again, I'm good at this stuff. I didn't think it was a foul. I thought it was two great athletes that crashed into each other and got entangled. That was not a guy punching somebody in the face or anything that, you know, would be different. And I think it's, I think it's a terrible, if they wouldn't allow, you know, a top player, maybe the best, maybe among the best players,

on the team to play. I think it would have had a big stain. And I related just that field. I didn't tell him what to do. I can't tell them what to do. But, and I don't believe he made the decision. I think it was a committee that made the decision. And they made the right decision because, number one, it wasn't a foul. And you want to see a game with your best players. You don't want to say, how would you feel if I took, you know, we take Messi out. Look, you know, he ran into somebody. or we took Ronaldo. Ronaldo, you bunked into somebody,

we're going to take you out of a game. He's great. Speaking of which, Ronaldo was almost out. I'm going to explain that to you in a minute, continuing here with the president. Well, Harry Kane, Harry, we're going to take you out of the game, Harry, because you happen to hit somebody a little bit harder than,

you can't do that. If you would have taken him out, I think it would have really stained this incredible champion. We've got to have our best players and they've got, Belgium's got a great team, by the way. We have our best players, and they have to have their best. And if we win or we lose, it's fair.

Otherwise, let's say we lost him and we lose the game. It would be a terrible thing. So I think they made a really brilliant decision. I think the referee's call was horrible. And nobody talks about that. They talk about the red card like it's fine. Nobody talks to the referee's decision to red card. I didn't know what the hell of red card was when I found.

out. I said, you've got to be kidding. This guy just hands up, okay, your best player is not going to play next week or in the next game. I said, wow, that's a lot of power. It is a lot of power. There are questions about that, ref. But I'll just tell you this. Right now, Donald Trump makes the call to Gianni, his friend Gianni, who by the way gave him a little trophy, right, the Peace Prize. Feeful wants to be on the good side of Donald Trump. Unlike NATO, apparently. Well, NATO wants to be on the good side. NATO has a big meeting coming up. We're going to get to that in a little bit. But it's all kind of happening in an interesting time, right? The Europeans are just losing their marbles over this. The left is losing their marbles over this because it's Donald Trump exercising a little

bit of power and just say, hey, you know, it would be a little bit more fair if you guys kind of had some more fair calls because you don't want to take the best players out of the game. What kind of game is that going to be? Oh, he gets there too. By the way, he reminded him, ratings, buddy, ratings, okay? You're going to have no show, right? You might actually rival the Super Bowl if you get your best players on there playing. Anyway, here is Politico. They went crying to Politico. Here is the, I guess the foreign minister for Belgium. I guess that's the best they could come up with. They're foreign minister who is furious and calling this an incomprehensible decision. Incorprehensible. Oh, it's got to be corrupt because Donald Trump had something to do with this.

Okay? So they're so angry because this guy, Flo Blogan, he happens to be our best player. Now, we're not as like into soccer, let's be honest, right? Like we're the United States of America and it's kind of catching on and it's a great game and the kids love it. I get it, but it hasn't been as popular to say it's football or baseball or any of those things that are sort of more Americana. But we do have some good players and this guy's like by far the best. Flo and I guess Flo is kind of an anchor baby, but we'll leave that neither here nor there

at this moment in time. So, yeah, he was born in the US of A. Apparently his mom came here and they wouldn't let her leave because she was seven months pregnant, so she had to stay. She gave birth to him. He was raised in the UK. He's Nigerian by, I guess, descent, raised in the UK. So he had the opportunity to play for any team, the US of A, Nigeria, or the UK.

And he chose to play for us here. That was a case where perhaps the president would say, well, that passport situation kind of worked out. Again, here is the guy who's over in Belgium. By the way, you know, there's been a lot going on over in Brussels because Brussels is like, you know, the Washington, D.C., if you would, of Europe. And so Brussels doesn't really like us very much because we've been putting a lot of pressure on the Europeans, including on those NATO members to pay their fair share. They're 5%.

We've also put a lot of pressure on the Europeans vis-a-vis the money they promised that they would invest thanks to the Turnberry agreement last year, last summer, and they haven't been coming through on that. So now is their chance at this NATO meeting to basically rectify a lot of the wrongs. This is the guy who's like, oh, it's incomprehensible. This can't be, right? They're totally furious. They're freaking out. That's how the New York Post put it. They were freaking out after FIFA lets US striker, he's called Flo for short, Blogan, play in the World Cup knockout match. We're down to the final 16. This is the round of 16 in the World Cup. And whoever wins this one is going on to play either Portugal or France. And I believe they are playing as we speak. Let me see Portugal.

And forgive me not France, Spain. Did I say France? Portugal or Spain? Rinaldo, of course, plays for Portugal. So it'll be interesting to see it looks like Spain is taking the late, late lead over Portugal. Spain defeating Portugal. Okay, guys, so this is getting really good. You know, I'm not much of a soccer fan, but you know I care a lot about global politics and I care a lot about what's going on in NATO. And we know that Spain have, I mean, Spain's been awful, absolutely awful. They won't even pay their 2% of GDP, let alone their 5% of GDP. So now the pressure is on the U.S. Looks like if we win this thing tonight, we're going to be going on to play Spain.

Spain is very good at soccer. Like one of the few things that Spain is actually good at, one of the things that they're good at is, Anyway, Donald Trump using his power here, getting this soccer star back on the field and the left doesn't like it, of course. But as I said, if Barack Obama had done this, it would have been fantastic. If Kamala Harris had done this, fantastic, you know, she's sticking up for this guy who was born in the U.S. You know, they would have loved that. That would have been the perfect little story for them. But because it is Donald Trump, just because it's Donald Trump, they're furious.

And I'll tell you, he's proud of it. Like, he's totally, totally proud of it. In typical Trump fashion, again, the New York Post writes that Belgium is seeing red. He got up there today and he talked all about it. He was really there to talk about the Trump baby accounts, $1,000 if you're born here in the last couple of years there, you're going to get $1,000, right? So, you know, little savings to get you started on your way to probably not being able to collect Social Security. That's the trajectory we're heading on. But anyway, you get a thousand books from a Trump account.

I want to go to the president there, back in the Oval Office. He had a lot to say on this. Again, he's pretty proud because he wanted to do the right thing by the sport, the right thing by the viewers, and the right thing for this player. Watch. Can you just got your phone call with Johnny Infantino about the red card? And Belgium is appealing the decision. You're asking me about the whole soccer thing?

So, yeah, I did. I spoke to Johnny, who's highly respected, who's produced the most successful World Cup in history by, they say, four times. This isn't just a success. I actually said, Johnny, we've got all these games. Each one is turning out to be a Super Bowl. And we have all these games. You know, when you think of it, every game is like a Super Bowl.

Yes, I watched last night. What a game that was with Mexico and England. I mean, two countries, I don't know the players. Although I think Kane is a great player. See, I played golf with him, like him a lot. He's a good golf. But he's really great. But I watched and no reason for me to watch and you couldn't take your eyes off the game. Because I said, Johnny, you know, you have all these games because they edit games. In a country where really we don't, it's not our main sport, to put it

mildly. And this has been four times more success. We told me last night, the numbers are four times greater. They think 50 or 60 million people are going to be watching the game tonight. I mean, you know, this is getting to be Super Bowl numbers. But you have a game tonight, and they think they're projecting a minimum of 50 million people watching. So I saw the play, and I'm a person that loves sports, and was a good athlete, and I understand sports really well, really well. And that wasn't a foul. That wasn't even an infraction. That was two guys running. And it was two guys running full speed that happened to crash into each other. You can't take your foot and properly place it on somebody else's foot when you're going,

no, these were two great athletes that got tangled up and this referee who is a little bit suspect? If you check his past, I don't want to say that because I don't like to create controversy. But very suspect. If you'd like, I'll provide you with the past. He made a call that nobody could believe. You know, even people on the other side, they said, oh, we got lucky. He's right. All right.

So this particular ref apparently has made a bunch of questionable calls. Questionable calls, so much that he was, like, called in as a witness to speak when, I guess they had some, dare I call it, a trial for FIFA back in 2024, and they were investigating all this. There were some calls during Brazilian domestic games. Multiple clubs accused him of issuing irregular red cards and showing suspicious patterns in decisions. It led to him being called as a witness, as I said, in the 20, 23, 24 parliamentary inquiry into match fixing and sports betting scandals in Brazilian football, soccer. There was no conviction, though, just to be very clear, there was no conviction.

But again, there's some rumors surrounding him. So that's what the president was getting at. He did referee the 2022 World Cup and his handed, handled other big matches. Critics often highlight him as a polarizing figure, even before any of this, but I'll tell you, he really became polarizing. And the president had a good point. He's like, do you really want to Johnny, Johnny, who, Infantino, who is the guy who oversees FIFA, do you really want this like on your shoulders? I mean, you're actually doing really well. You're actually getting big numbers.

And people kind of like the sport, if they see it as corrupt. and this call, you know, basically this call is really in doubt if you kick the U.S. out of this because of that, even if Belgium wins, like, is that really a win when you're not even playing against the best teams? I want to go back to the president. And then I want to walk you through, actually, guys, some of the other examples where FIFA has extended that olive branch, so to speak, or that, you know, green card, we'll call it a green card over the red card to allow three players this season.

Like, this hasn't happened in the World Cup since. 1962, but most recently, as qualifiers to get into the World Cup, they've done it three times. So it makes sense that they would at least be willing to look at such a controversial call, very, very controversial. And one that, you know, you could argue the ref should not have been looking at that video, the video, the way this all works, it's a little different, I guess, than the WNBA, but they have something called VAR, the VAR review, the video review and video assisted review, I should say. And in that video, Assisted Review, it looked a little different than it did in real time.

But they're supposed to go off a real-time data. Back to President Trump, really saving the day for football here. Then I started hearing that that means he can't play in the next game, at least in the next game. I said, boy, that's a big, you know, if it happened to another player, it would have been unfair, but when they take your best player or just about, they have some great players. but, and they say you can't play. That's very unfair. That's, you know, it's one thing to penalize somebody for the game. But how do you penalize them for a game that hasn't been played yet? It's very unfair.

You can't do that. So, yes, I asked for a review by FIFA. I spoke to a man who's highly respected, and by the way, whose level of respect has gone up tenfold. I mean, he's been getting better and better and better because the sports becoming more and more and more popular. And guess what? You conquer the U.S. market, and that's kind of something, right?

So, again, he's approaching this as a businessman. He's approaching it from the idea that you need to have fair, transparent rules. FIFA's been under a lot of, you know, sort of, it's been under the microscope, and it's been criticized a lot, shall we say, over the last several years anyway, everybody has been pointing the finger there. And so now maybe this feeds that kind of narrative, but I just want to say once again, And nobody has a problem with Rinaldo getting grandfathered in, as he did in the preliminaries. Nobody has a problem with two other key players getting in there.

But the minute Donald Trump is involved, let's face it, TDS, guys, TDS. TDS is a real thing. It's a global disease. And they seem to have it pretty darn bad right now in Belgium. Belgium needs to win for the right reasons, though, as the president says, if they win. The people in Belgium, if they win the game, they can be very proud. If they would win the game with a player missing, it would have been a different feeling. You can't do that.

Exactly. Okay, exactly. What's fair is fair. And again, I think Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz is speaking for all of us here when he says, the following. And on behalf of all Americans, thank you for getting rid of that ridiculous red card. This is his... It was spectacular. There was a reason the FIFA trophy sat here for as long as it did. You know, the trophy that he got. Remember the trophy that he got to? I think we actually have this.

The White House was very proud of this. This was back in December, and FIFA gave him a peace trophy. Take a peek. FIFA, the Federation International of Football Association, awards the 2025 FIFA Peace Prize, Football unites the world to Donald J. Trump, president of the United States of America,

in recognition of his exceptional and extraordinary actions to promote peace and unity around the world. Friday, December 5th, 2025. This is a certificate. It's yours. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. So, you see, everybody's freaking out,

and there's a lot of people globally, right, that really hate this president. And so what is their reaction? Their reaction is just to complain that this is another example of corruption. I just want to point out that FIFA has broken the rules before. Three times, actually, this season. You don't have to go all the way back to 1962. 1962 for an actual breaking of the red card.

They turned that one around in 62. But going into this particular match, you had Cristiano Ronaldo, obviously, very, very famous, best in the world. it is believed. Well, he was supposed to have a three-game ban, and he served one, and I guess he missed the other two. And they said, okay, we'll hold off on those. There's a guy from Ecuador and then a guy from Argentina. And so all of them kind of got off the hook. So, you know, I mean, maybe the benefit of the doubt could be extended to the American player. Well, it just has been. And again, the Belgium fans are livid. The Belgium prime minister, forgive me, minister, foreign minister, I should say. he is saying this is totally incomprehensible. It is totally absolutely wrong.

And I guess I would just say again, well, you did it before. You know, why wouldn't you do it here? And the good news is... Visit BetMGM Casino and check out the newest exclusive. The Price is Right Fortune Pick. BetMGM and GameSense remind you to play responsibly. 19 plus to wager. Ontario only.

If he was Kamala, they would have loved it.

If he was Biden, they would have loved it. It's just because it's Trump that suddenly they don't. Meanwhile, the Europeans, they're looking for something to gripe about, you know, they've got a big, big bill come and do. They're all gathered in Turkey right now because it's the NATO summit, and this team, this White House, is going through the numbers and making a list of those who have paid their dues or are committed to paying their dues and those that are not.

And there's a lot of countries that are not paying their 5% and have no plans to pay. or five percent. So all of these leaders right now, they don't know what to do, right? They've never had anything like this halfman to them before because you've had other leaders. You've had Barack Obama. You've had Joe Biden. You've had pretty much everyone say, please, please, please, pretty pleased with a cherry on top. Will you pay more money to help with the defense that you claim to so desperately need? And every single time, it's been tell it to the hand, right? They're like, no, no, no. We don't want to have anything to do with paying all that money.

And now Donald Trump is saying, well, if you don't pay the money, then we're not going to provide the services. Very simple, right? You either come through, and he's telegraphed over and over and over and over again, so it's not like he's hitting them on the head all of a sudden. They knew this. Perhaps this is why they were so desperate to not see him get elected. They knew their lives were going to change drastically.

So here's the headline in the Wall Street Journal today. They're saying the inside story of Europe's rupture with America. I don't know how inside it is. honestly, we've been talking about this here for months, right? It's pretty darn simple. It's actually not that clandestine, if you think about it. It's as simple as this president says, hey, hey, hey, you know what? You need to pay more money.

And if you're not going to pay more money, and you're not going to even allow us to use our bases that we pay for, then we're not going to continue this relationship. Allies mean being allies. You've got to be there for us in our times. And we weren't even asking for much. We just wanted to refuel, right? in Sigonella, in Sicily. We just wanted to, you know, be able to fly through France's airspace.

You didn't even want to let us do that? I mean, Spain, forget about you. I'm telling you, this is pretty darn simple. It's not that dramatic. It's not that clandestine. It's not that secret. This administration is telling them. You have two choices. You can either pay or you cannot pay. And if you choose to not pay, we're going to make it very simple for you. We are actually just going to deduct what is due, period. What is due? Imagine that. So this is the op-ed that you would see in the Wall Street Journal today.

They're writing a U.S. troop withdrawal from Europe is a dangerous signal to Vladimir Putin. They're basically saying you can't do any of this, Donald Trump, because you're sending the wrong message to Vladimir Putin. You just get to keep shelling out the money, whoa, you know, just keep paying. Because if they can't pay, then Vladimir Putin might be able to take an inch. Well, he sent this one out. This was last, I guess this was Thursday, and he came again with more over the weekend. He wrote the U.S. spends more money on NATO than any other country by far to protect them without getting any benefit from doing so.

U.S. is $999 billion. You get the U.K. at $90.5 billion. You get the France at 66.5 billion. Italy, 48.8 billion. Poland, 44.3 billion. Others including Germany are much lower. This is ridiculous. He's using data that's spanning nearly 10 years. Oh, and if you didn't catch it then, I think this is the next day.

He sent this one out. Here's a nice little graphic. This really sums it up, okay? So he does not appreciate that NATO is getting the bulk of its funding from the United States of America while everybody else is skating by doing nothing, wringing their hands and saying, sorry, we can't pay. Now, the Wall Street Journal editorial board thinks you need to think about this differently. Okay, they're saying, okay, granted, yes.

We pay all this money, as Trump has pointed out, but in exchange, it basically helps ensure a peaceful Europe. This, they write, is ignoring that peace in Europe is a core U.S. interest and not charitable work, as those who survived the 20th century can attest. Oh, yeah, the president's not into charity. He's definitely not into charity on this one. He's like, I'm not going to risk our troops. I'm not going to divert funding to Europe so that they can do what, so that they can get out of having to pay for defense.

And by getting out of paying for defense, they have all this extra money to pay on all these ridiculous programs, all their social welfare, which, by the way, keep them from actually accomplishing anything. I mean, hey, they're living high off the hog off of all of us, thank you very much. And so there's no incentive to actually work hard or do things. I mean, Germany, just this past week, was it Thursday or Friday? You had the German chancellor, very unpopular man, Fred Marks, Friedrich.

Anyway, so Freddie made an announcement. He said, this is great. We are now going to require you to have a sick note if you're calling out from work. You can't just call on the phone. And I'm like, excuse me? I didn't even realize that. So in Germany, you don't call out to your boss, like, it's a government thing. And you get six weeks, six weeks of paid sickly.

I mean more if it's like really a big, big thing, but you know, you get a cold, two weeks, you know, get better from the cold. Unbelievable, right? Unbelievable. So they've had all these great programs, these fabulous social programs, free this, free that, free this, free that. And now there's suddenly like, oh gosh, we're going to have to pay 5% of GDP. Well, if we have to pay 5% then maybe we need to get rid of things like sick leave, which by the way are hindering your companies, making it more difficult for your companies

to be productive, not to mention all their stupid regulations and rules over, you can't fire anyone. This is what the socialists would want, by the way. We're going to get there. Believe me. But I'm just going to say this. Look, thank goodness. Thank goodness. We have somebody saying to these European pompous mature economies, listen, you guys got to do something. NATO allies increase spending, the Wall Street Journal points out, 20% last year alone, and an influx of cash is now chasing too little manufacturing capacity after decades of neglect. Okay, so they're worried that, you know, now they have too much cash. I'd rather have that problem than the alternative. And even, even one of the seditious six, as she has been labeled, Alyssa Slotkin, Democrat senator from Michigan,

admitted that Donald Trump's done one heck of a job getting these Europeans to pay up. When she was at the Pentagon, she used to beg them. And guess what? She doesn't have to anymore. Now, it turns out, They're there with open checkbooks, sort of. There's no way to disagree with the factual data that they are spending more on their own defense, that they are having rapid conversations about European defense separate from us. Like, I'm sorry, and I say that as someone who was at the Pentagon and like every year went to NATO and was like, could you guys please invest more in your own defense? And they were like, thank you, no, thank you.

I don't like, right? And for our European, I'm sure there's some European friends here. I do not like that in order for them to move, they had to be kicked in the teeth. But there's no denying. There's no denying. She went on to say that Donald Trump had a hand in this. She's also saying that Vladimir Putin does too, because Vladimir Putin represents the threat. And if Donald Trump is not willing to protect them against that threat, I think when push comes to shove, he would be.

But he's saying, listen, guys, you got to do your own. thing here because this is getting ridiculous. The Pentagon, the article also points out, has been leaking that it's telling NATO to count on less U.S. air and naval power in force planning for a crisis. But where there's evidence that threats to the U.S. are lower than in 2022 when Vladimir Putin rolls tanks into Ukraine. So they're saying, but where's the evidence that the threats are less? They're arguing here that Vladimir Putin is a bigger threat. He's there, you know, into the Ukraine. He, by the way, and we've reported on this, apparently has been building infrastructure to be able to house a lot of troops along those Baltic state borders. So they're

looking at this and saying, we have a threat. But fine, okay, you have a threat. Does that mean the U.S. has a threat or does that mean Europe has a threat? Shouldn't that be all the more reason for Europe to contribute to this equation rather than leave it all for us on the backs of our hardworking Americans. The directions U.S. troops in Europe, they write, should move is east to front Poland and the Baltics. Yet that doesn't seem to be what the administration has in mind since they've got this six-month review of the European posture. What they're talking about with that six-month review is what they're calling NATO 3.0. Pete Higgs says, speaking about this, actually in Brussels, in Belgium, just a couple of weeks ago saying, hey, you know what, we're going to make this list,

and we're going to look, and we have got six months here, we're going to review this. And anybody who in the next six months is not paying what we think they should be paying, we are going to then reduce the amount that you're paying. I would just say, like, some of those Baltic states, they have been paying. You're actually looking at places like Poland that are contributing much more than, say, France or the UK or Spain. Forget about them in Spain. Let's go back to Pete speaking a couple of weeks ago in Brussels.

At the same time, going forward, our annual NATO dues will be contingent on other countries meeting their defense spending targets. Where other allies do not spend with urgency, our dues contributions will go down. NATO will be a two-way street. It's only common sense. America cannot care for or pay more for Europe's defense than our allies do. And this review will think outside the box. Our national defense strategy states clearly that we're going to incentivize and enable,

our allies to step up and do their part. So we're going to keep a close eye on allies who are not doing that and who say no or maybe or wait and see when it matters most. It's a review that some countries will fail and others will pass with flying colors. In the end, the review is intended to both improve U.S. force posture and basing and strengthen NATO 3.0. It's intended to be constructive, as we have always been. There are no strategic surprises here. There haven't been. I've been clear with all of you since my first remarks to this body in February of 2025. President Trump has always done the same. Our direction of travel is

and has been clear. This is the right thing to do by the American people. It's the right thing to do by this alliance, Europe can and must take primary responsibility for its conventional defense as it pledged at the Hague summit. Yeah. Okay, so you pledged to do this. We expect you to follow through. Pretty simple. And if you don't, then we're going to reduce the amount of money we're giving you.

I don't understand what's so hard about this. I don't understand what's so controversial about this. You guys, I'm looking at your Texas Gidget. writing, Pompas Europeans don't care about their countries. I mean, it seems like they don't really. I mean, you look at, by the way, what's going on on the immigration front. I would say some people there do, and some people get it, but a lot of them have been, unfortunately, under the direction of very, very poor leadership. And that poor leadership has allowed horrible things to happen, including just this complete takeover by many, many migrant groups. And by the way, we've allowed

that. Like, let's be very clear, our team right here at home has permitted this because we're the ones enabling. We're the enablers in this. We're the ones writing the checks. We're the parents that won't get the kids to go out and get a job. All right? We just keep letting them live high and mighty off of our hard work. And that's changing. And it needs to change. I mean, again, we're not talking about little tiny emerging countries. We're talking about mature economies that are making poor decisions for everyone. And they're going to have to pay the price. I mean, this has been communicated and communicated and communicate.

There's nothing secretive. Watch the president about a month ago. Well, let me just say he's been a friend of mine. He's a great guy, great leader, great secretary general. Everybody respects him. And I appreciate you, nice words. But you really have done a good job. And I think if anybody else were in that position, we wouldn't even be meeting today, to be honest with you.

because we were let down. We didn't need help on this at all. We demolished them in literally the first week. But it would have been nice if they would have said, we'd like to help. We didn't even need it, but it would have been nice if they said that they didn't say it. But as Secretary General, and he's the boss

of the whole operation, he was, I believe I would have called him, and I didn't bother doing that because I was doing individual countries just to take the temperature and see how they were doing. But I think if I would have called him, he probably would have found a way to help if we needed. I feel, you know, would have been a little bit different. But I was disappointed. I was disappointed with Italy.

I was disappointed with the UK. He's now gone. And, you know, he had a lot of problems. But we were disappointed with the UK. We were disappointed with Germany and France. We're disappointed with most of them. Spain is a horror show. Spain is terrible.

Even from your standpoint, I mean, they don't want to pay anything. They think they're in for a free ride. Spain is not a good group, not a good group at all. But I have great respect for this man, and so we're going to be discussing what took place, and we'll see what happened. Thank you. Can I answer to it? So, yeah, I get it.

The Wall Street Journal is saying that it's becoming like a therapy session, the dinner that they had at NATO, because they're all wringing their hands and they don't know what to do. They are on thin ice. they are going to lose a lot of money. They're going to have to stake, start taking responsibility for themselves. And Donald Trump is absolutely fine. I take an aim at all of them. For some reason, Georgia Maloney is in the crosshairs. I think it's because, you know, she seemed like she was all on board and then she wasn't. Here's what he put out today. Restraining order needed. Okay, don't forget, this has to do with, and here's an AI version of it. They've been having some

fun with this. I think this is AI. I don't think he put this out where, you know, they're just making this sort of animate, if you would. He's angry at George Maloney because Maloney would not allow him reportedly, although this has been somewhat controversial because the head of NATO is actually Margruta trying to say that we did in fact get to use some of Italy's bases. But the Sigonella base, as far as it's my understanding, that was off limits. And she said, well, you've got to go to parliament for that. And he's like, what the heck lady? I mean, you used to be my friend. And now you're not. And so he's really, really taken aim at her. She's apparently per source is somewhat nervous about this meeting that she's having with him because they're going to come face to face

head to head, which is perhaps why he's being a little bit preemptive there with restraining order needed. Don't forget with Georgia, he said that she desperately wanted that picture of him. and he called into like a, I don't know, the equivalent of a 24-7 cable channel, if they have those there in Italy, and he said, listen, she just desperately wanted this photo with me, and I felt kind of bad for her. She got so mad, by the way. The minute she saw this, and it was all over the Italian press, she immediately went out and did this little thing to her camera saying, I didn't beg, George Maloney never begs, Italy never begs, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So she's in this dust up with him. Of course, everybody's having fun with this one online.

Here's a little AI meme because she's been talking about how she's, I guess, quit smoking. He may be driving her back to smoking, okay? That's the sort of humor that we're seeing here because she's so nervous about what she does now. And she should be. I mean, she should be. She pretended to be his friend and then it's clearly a case where she's not. Here's another one. He put this out after spending trillions of dollars on NATO, Italy and its prime minister,

Mologna wouldn't even think of becoming involved with the Islamic Republic of Iran and their very serious nuclear threat. For decades, we defended them. When tested, they were not there for us. And the rest of the world, not good. Okay, so Georgia, it may be that time is up. It may be that that friendship, so to speak, has run its course. And now Italy, much like Spain, is going to see a reduction. And I mean that a reduction in what they were being given by the U.S. We have a whole bunch of bases there, not just signal it. We've got a whole bunch of them. Let's go to the president speaking about Georgia Maloney and Europe.

You talked about possibly pulling out some troops of Germany. Would you be considering the same thing for Spain and Italy? I mean, they haven't been exactly on board. Yeah, probably. Yeah, probably will. Why should I, you know, look, why shouldn't I? Italy has not been of any help to us. And Spain has been horrible, absolutely horrible.

You know, as NATO, it's not even the fact that they've been. It's one thing if they said nicely, or if they said, okay, well, I put the Alps a little slow. But the level, and we helped them with Ukraine. You know, they made a mess out of Ukraine, a total mess. and we help them with Ukraine. Ukraine has nothing to do. We're an ocean apart. It has to do with them.

It's like for them, it's their front tour. We helped them. And Biden gave him $350 billion. It was insane. It's one of the reasons the world went on. But when we needed them, they were not there. We have to remember that. And so if we ever have a big one,

because we didn't need any help with Iran. we had a ran right from the first day it was over. It was over. And now it's even more so. We're so locked and loaded if we want to do. But we didn't need the help. And to a certain extent, I asked him, I didn't need the help, but I said, yeah, we'd love to have you help because I wanted to see if they'd do it.

And they, in all cases, they said, we don't want to get involved. And, you know, the amazing thing is they use these straight of harm laws. We don't. We don't use it. We don't need it. We have a lot of oil. Well, wait a minute. And they use it, we don't. And you would have thought they would have said,

we would love to help you, but they didn't. They didn't. So we don't forget things like that. We really don't. That was, you know, maybe a couple of weeks ago, right, prior to that, my former colleague Maria Barteromo interviewed the president, and he made it very clear that his relationship with Italy was not the same. And then he took it further, and he said,

Listen, Europe has a problem. Europe is an immigration problem. And they really do need to fix that. In other words, this is what you call, ladies and gentlemen, a little bit tough love. What Europe has done with immigration, most of the countries, not all, what they've done with immigration is horrible. Do we still have the same relationship with Italy right now and Georgia Maloney? No, no. She's been negative.

Anybody that turned us down for helping with this. Iran situation, we do not have the same relationship. Just so you know, Italy gets a lot of oil from the strait. You can call it the street of Hormuz or the Hormuz Strait. I said, which is better? They said, either is okay. But you can call it either one. The only thing you can't call it is the Trump straight.

They don't like that idea. Anyway, it's going to be very interesting to watch all of this. And we're going to see it in real time as an all-in-flee. of course, beginning tomorrow. The president really, you know, I would just say he's kind of had it up to here. And you know who else has had it up to here? Marco Rubio. The Secretary of State, he flew all the way over there to Italy to read Georgia Maloney, the riot act. And he came out of that meeting, and he was actually very diplomatic. He took aim at Spain. But, you know, underneath the surface here, he's really talking about Maloney in Georgia and Italy. In other words, you all got to get

act together. I've been a strong supporter of NATO throughout my career in the Senate and even now. One of the advantages of being in NATO is that it allows us to have forces deployed in Europe and bases that allow us a logistical ability to project power in case of contingencies. But we had a contingency and some countries in Europe, some countries in Europe, like Spain as an example, denied us the use of those bases for a very important contingency that in some ways the denial of those bases actually impeded the mission, not severely, but had a cost and, in fact, even created some unnecessary dangerous. So if one of the main reasons why the U.S. is in NATO is the ability to have forces deployed in Europe that we could project to other contingencies.

And now that's no longer the case, at least when it comes to some NATO members, that's a problem and it has to be examined. But ultimately, that's a decision for the president to make. And he'll make it. Okay. So they've been advised. him all along. You're going to have to make some tough decisions here. You're going to have to take the funds away. And ahead of that, on the eve of this event, you've got the entire financial press from, you know, Bloomberg to the Wall Street Journal to the FT, all trying to say, you can't do that. You can't do that because it means it would give Vladimir Putin the upper hand. I'm going to go back to this. You know, if you've got this six-month review going on in countries like Poland

are actually doing a good job trying to get more spending, and you're saying, okay, I'm going to take 5,000 troops out of Germany and I'm going to put them into Poland, isn't that kind of the right call strategically for what needs to happen there? I mean, maybe it's bad for Germany. Maybe, you know, it stinks, right, because you're Germany and you depend on some of this money or Italy, vice, you know, any of these countries. But I would think strategically you'd actually want to, you know, put your troops, one, in the areas that are paying you for them, and two, in countries that actually might be more vulnerable. And I'm sorry, but Spain's not as vulnerable, period, full stop. Here's the president talking about Spain in April. In other words, this is not a mystery, guys.

This is not like something that, you know, he just woke up yesterday and said he has been talking about this since 2016. And now we're at the 11th hour. Okay, so now something is. going to happen. And it belongs to us all. It belongs to our newest Americans. Opsi Dacey. No, we'll get to him too. We will. I would say this first. The president has been very outspoken on Spain and the immigration issue. Just as he mentioned, the immigration challenge there in Italy. Here we go. Europe is in serious trouble. They've been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like nobody's ever seen before. Illegal aliens are pouring into Europe. Nobody is ever, and nobody's doing anything to change it, to get them out. It's not sustainable. And because they choose to be politically correct,

they're doing just absolutely nothing about it. Nothing about it at all. I look at London where you have a terrible mayor, terrible, terrible, and it's been so changed, so changed. Now they want to go to Sharia law. But you're in a different country. You can't do that. Both the immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe if something is not done immediately.

They cannot, this cannot be sustained. Not sustainable, not sustainable. And so I ask you, and you wonder why he's taking real hard aim at Georgia right now, I ask you why Italy is out there bringing in 500,000, non-EU residents. A lot of people come from the Middle East. I mean, this is the whole problem, right?

It's like, and he's right, it's like some kind of suicidal mission. I mean, granted, ironically, I just played that clip from Mamdami, sitting behind George Washington's desk, talking about how awful the U.S. is, basically, just trashing us on our 2508th anniversary. And it seems kind of fitting in a way. that I mistakenly played that because you see they have an immigration problem in the UK with too many people coming from the Middle East and taking over the culture that has existed

for thousands of years in Europe. I mean, you look again at London, which is very, very poorly run. You look at the entire, all of Europe right now. Think about what was going on in Belfast recently. And they have a problem because this assimilation is not happening. And so Georgia Maloney ran for Prime Minister in Italy on the platform that she was going to lock those borders down and instead, what is she doing? She's handing out 500,000 work visas, and then she's claiming, and I've played the clip for you, it's an Italian, and translated it, but she's claiming that this is so necessary for Italy, for its economic health and its economic growth, as well as for the entire Europe. Like Europe cannot survive unless it imports more

and more people. Spain, I should point out, did the exact same thing. In fact, when I was there in April, they were just rolling this out. They had all the visas, you know, come one, come all for everybody to come in to Spain and get this visa as a non-EU worker. And so this is not really going to play out so well. It's just not. I mean, consider, guys, consider the news we got this week. the news that the Texas Dallas Fed, the Dallas Fed did a big report, it's a preliminary report. And in this preliminary report, they found that because of the mass migration coming in from Mexico, coming in from Latin America, rents were going way, way up, up, and away. Not a lot of people were reporting on this.

I credit just the news because they put this out. And by the way, the president actually sent it out a link to it. But it's fascinating because we've got all of these people coming in. Like, it makes sense, right? It makes total, total sense that if you have all of these people coming in, that, yeah, it would start to be how dare, you know, they'd say, how dare you say this? But how shall we say a huge problem, a huge problem?

Because it just, it's not sustainable. Again, not sustainable. Let me go to the story, again, courtesy of just, the news. It's a working paper. I should stand corrected. Okay, guys. They haven't published it. Oopsie, Daisy. They haven't published it just yet. But look at this. A working paper out of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas says that all of the migration, everybody coming here from Timbuktu, coming up through a very poorest border, resulted in 30% home price increases and 30% 20% rent increases. This paper combined immigration court records with court administrative,

government administrative data to create the first ever calculation of how a wave of 7 million illegal immigrants between the years 2021 through 2024, thank you Joe Biden, actually affected local labor and housing markets. Wow. All right. So you bring all these people in and suddenly, sure, it creates pressure because you don't have the resources for it. This episode is brought to you by Activia. You might already be eating yogurt, but not all yogurts are created equal. Activia contains over one billion probiotics per serving to survive and reach the gut alive. When it comes to gut health,

Activia is the number one family doctor-recommended probiotic yogurt brand. Choose Activia, feel good from the inside out. Visit Activia.comia for more. details. Unbelievable. I'm reading here from the report, the total weighted mean increases in house prices and rents over this period were 22.4% and 22.6% respectively. Putting these together for the average, you can explain approximately 30% of the total increase in house prices and 20% of total increase in rents. They said they found very little evidence that there was any kind of home building done that was expansive enough to meet that additional added demand, right?

You have millions and millions and millions of people coming in and you don't have the resource. They are seeing the exact same thing in Europe right now, the exact same thing. They're creating the report rights a demand shock in markets where supply was already constrained. So fascinating. The Dallas Fed, we credit this,

and they're not a political institution, right? As much as the president would like to have, more say over the Federal Reserve. They're not a political institution. These are just economists that are crunching some numbers, and nobody before bothered to look at any of this. But it's relevant, okay? It's relevant for us and it's relevant for Europe. So Europe right now, as it comes to this reality check with the Trump administration realizing that, yeah, you know what, they're going to have to pay their fair share and they're going to have to contribute the 5% of GDP, which means they're going to have to make some tough decisions. Maybe they're

not going to be able to have as much social spending on welfare and they're not going to be able bring in all those people from the Middle East and say, hey, here, live off of this. That's not going to work for them anymore. And so this is a real sea change. It's a game changer. I mean, it's actually probably perhaps the biggest historic development of modern times for Europe, I mean, since World War II. Because since the aftermath of World War II, we've been footing the bill for everything. Everything comes down to us paying for them. And that's ending. And it's not going to happen here in the United States of America so long as Donald Trump is in charge. Quick shout out to our friends over at Balance of Nature.

And you know that they're getting that extra bit of nutrition that is so important. But as we talk about what's going on here in Europe, and as we think about the drags on society that the immigration has presented, the immigration challenge has presented with Europe,

and we consider what's going on here. Don't forget. I mean, Zahram Mbami, how trash in it and trash in America. It's pretty bad. And now people are fighting back. We're starting to see, like, everybody start to say, hey, wait a second. But the problem is the Democrats themselves don't seem to recognize that this is enough of an issue. Fox put out a new poll this week.

55% of Democrats actually think socialism is okay. I'm like, who are these people? What are they thinking? Mamdami. And it belongs to us all. It belongs to... This is his little fun thing he did on the George Wallyman. Washington desk, he decided to just trash America at our 250th birthday, wonderful guy that he is.

And one of the things that struck me about this was who he surrounded himself with and the sort confrontational look that they brought to the camera, all of whom were recently naturalized, nearly a decade ago. Okay, so let's go forward a little bit. So the camera zooms out, right? It starts on him and it zooms out, zooms out, zooms out, and everybody's just staring at the asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty. hither have they fled.

And yet today, too many... It's not natural, right? Like normally you would be looking at someone, think about Donald Trump, whenever he has anybody there in the Oval Office and he's talking, they're looking at him. These people are all staring down the camera, almost as if to invite some kind of controversy.

It struck me as a very strange thing. The producer in me noticed it right away. But I'd also say, you know, forget the producer in me for a second. Let's just talk about the economist in me, the pure economics of what he's proposing, are absolutely disastrous. I've told you that over and over and over again.

Well, my friend Steve Forbes, he has a few things to say about this, too. Let's listen. Mondani wants you to ignore is that people came to this country precisely because, as Abraham Lincoln put it, you had a chance to improve your lot in life, begin and do things you couldn't do in any other part of the world, and it worked. People had more freedom. People had an opportunity to move ahead, and we all benefited from it. And he wants to take that away.

He talks about the slums. He said that when you got off the boat, all you saw were these sort of tenements. Well, who's the biggest slum lord in New York City right now? It's the city itself with public housing. Which, by the way, he will not allow criticism at public hearings about the city's problems being a landlord. Public housing is awful. Ask anybody anywhere. It's not just in New York City.

It's in Chicago. It's in L.A. That's his answer. He wants to eliminate private housing decommodify, as his Marxist's term. to get rid of private housing entirely and to have government own the whole thing. Yeah, he wants to turn America into a squalid tenement, except for the privileged view at the top, as he's seeing, those are totalitarian countries. Yeah.

I mean, hey, his wife is a great example of this. Did you see this one guy? Zohraimam Dami's wife got called out Rama-Dawaji. Did I say that right? Probably not. Anyway, Rama decided to skip the 250 celebrations. She went to Spain, of course, for an Islamic spiritual wellness retreat in Spain. Lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely.

So Rama doesn't care about our 250th anniversary. I mean, she was here, grew up in Texas by way of Syria. and apparently would rather celebrate Islamic traditions, really great that they are for women and all, over there in Spain, rather than celebrate freedom here in the United States of America, where her hubby happens to be the mayor of the financial capital of the world. Shocking that that is.

So what's that about? Apparently a reporter, this is great, reporter-cotter. I love this. I wonder if she was flying first class would be so fitting, right? Champagne socialists that they are. Zahraimdami was telling New Yorkers to lower their AC.

He was, he said, hey, 78 degrees. Of course, he headed at 61.9 in City Hall. So while he was telling New Yorkers, this Aryan Wexler writes, to lower their AC, his wife. Rama, Duaji,

boarding a flight to go party in my yorka. Reminder that I can't tag her because she deleted her account after her insanely, I think it goes on to say off-colored remarks. Remember after October 7th, I mean, this woman is bad news. Like that should have disqualified it. You know, look, fine. Your wife can be a looney tune and you're the mayor of New York City. I understand like she's her own person. Probably I understand that more than she does since she's going off to have a, you know, Islamic party in Spain. It's a religion that, frankly, is horrible to women and doesn't respect women at all, but, you know, you had me on the cover-up with the hijib and everything. Forget it. So she's off to party in Spain and her husband's knocking the U.S. from George Washington's

desk on our 250th birthday. Like, what is wrong with this picture people? Okay? What is wrong? Just awful, okay? Really, really, really awful. And this is who New York City elected? Oh, and there's more where that came from. The socialist just put out a little recruiting video over the weekend, because, you know, if you don't like America, you can join the ranks with them. Given all the alleged Chinese financing that goes into this, I want you to take a peek. Honestly, they've got to get a better-looking crowd. I'm telling you, this is not winning over too many that I know.

I'm a socialist because I think we should fund public education, not bombs that kill innocent children. Okay, by the way, she's like the Christy Brinkley in the whole video. She's like the socialist version of Christy Brinkley because that's as good as it gets. And they were smart to put her first. Here we go. Bombs that kill innocent children. I'm a socialist because I want to see my immigrant communities label safety and dignity. I'm a socialist because I know that the only way we all get free is if we put an end to the U.S. war machine.

I'm a socialist because no child should have to go to bed hungry or without a roof over their head. I'm a socialist because I want a sustainable future for my kids. I'm a socialist because art and cultures should be a right for all, not a privilege for a few. I'm a socialist because queer and trans people deserve to live a dignified life where our health care, housing, and jobs are guaranteed human rights. I'm a socialist because under capitalism, our health care system does not treat people with dignity, but we have all the means necessary for people to get the care they deserve. I'm a socialist because my students learn better when their families can afford housing, health care, and food. I'm a socialist because I want my daughter to grow up in a world that treats working class people with dignity. I'm a socialist because it's the only viable option for our people and our planet.

I'm looking at your comments. I mean, right? There were not a whole lot of lookers. There were a lot of nose rings, a lot of nose rings, and a lot of weirdos. I totally agree with you. It's kind of this counterculture thing, right? I mean, wow, what does wokeism do to people? Seriously?

But this is actually not something to laugh at, as much as we, you know, we're kind of getting a kick out of it. And they're a bunch of losers, I get it, David Lorenzo writing that. There are people that don't actually want to work, right? They think that somehow we should all take care of them. And we should turn over all of our earnings to the government so that then they can be provided for. Well, you know, you think any of us are going to work? If that's the way it's going down, we're not. Okay?

But what's crazy to me, what's crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, is that 55% of Democrats now, according to a new Fox poll, somehow are okay with socialism. I want to go to Fox from this morning. Lawrence was interviewing James Freeman. James Freeman, very, very bright guy. I like James a lot. Even though we were picking on the Wall Street Journal earlier, he is a writer for the, I think an editor actually for the Wall Street Journal,

smart guy. Let's listen here to what he and Lawrence are saying about this massive sort of uptick in the interest in socialism. I mean, I would take one look at that video that I just showed you and say, no thanks not for me maybe maybe i'm a little shallow i just can't get beyond the nose rings i want to bring you to westmore the governor of maryland as well as joshapiro who's also the governor of the commonwealth of pennsylvania and they talked about distancing themselves from those democratic socialist candidates here they are i think what our party has to go through that will be very healthy

and something we've not really done since the 1992 election cycle is to have a battle over what we believe in. I think the thing that I focus on is what's the results that I'm providing for my people. I do not prescribe to an ideology. I do not prescribe to a wing.

James, when you look at the poll and the Fox News polls, the United States moving away from capitalism and more towards socialism, is it a good thing or bad thing? 55% of Democrats say that's a good thing. only 22% of Republicans say that's a bad thing. What do you make of all of that? It is disturbing. I think that a lot of those polls, once you explain to people,

what socialism actually is, it gets less popular. So I would still maybe be encouraged by that. I do think I know sometimes there's this sort of dance where candidates on the far left or pals in the media may suggest that it's socialism, not communism, and therefore very benign. But we've seen what the Democratic Socialists, that's what they called themselves, did to Venezuela, over the last 25 years, really turned it from a thriving country

into a hellhole of not just economic deprivation, but loss of political rights, a Democratic socialist dictatorship, basically, that was interrupted or we'll see perhaps it continues. But Maduro obviously facing trial in the U.S., so the Democratic Socialist so-called experiment is a disaster. And I think for the Democrats who are not looking to go all the way and jump off the ledge of kind of full-fledged Marxism, those are good first steps from Shapiro and Europe. I think they have to go a lot further.

It's not just about a difference of opinion, and it's good that they're stressing there's a difference of opinion. It's not just about how the candidates on the far left won't get good results. It's that they're really attacking, as you've described, the things that make America special in terms of liberty and our free enterprise system. So I would hope that Shapiro and more, as the months go along here, toward the fault choice would be more explicit in injecting that kind of Marxist message. Yeah, we can't let it happen.

No, we cannot let it happen. But, you know, look, I mean, we played the sound recently from the union leader. Remember that in New York who's saying, we don't want any part of this. We don't want any part of socialism. Mamdami's on his own. I think you're going to see. So if you have 55% of the party right now, and you heard James say that, you know, maybe those people didn't really understand what it meant to be.

be socialism. Like, in theory, it sounds good, right? But then you really push and you educate them on it. They're not as enthusiastic. And so perhaps when push comes to shove, that starts to change. But you think about what Bobby Bartels recently said. Let me, let me play it again. Here now is Bobby Bartels, New York Steamfitters Local 6-3. So this is Sandra Smith, and she's interviewing Bobby Bartels, and she said, look, I was talking with you earlier, and you feel very, very strongly about this. And then he just unloads. totally unloads on Mamdami and socialism. And this is what I suspect you're going to see more of, okay, a whole lot more of.

Don't forget, there's a reason. There's a reason why the Democrats seem to have gravitated to this. And I think it's because they just didn't know what else to do. In other words, Donald Trump stole that sort of working American agenda because he all of a sudden stood up for everyday Americans saying, hey, we're not going to have tons of people crossing over into our land from these remote places. and giving them this, that, and the other, that's not going to fly. And he stood up to that.

He stood up to the idea of boys playing against girls in women's sports. He stood up to that. So this is a lot of stuff that's very important, I think, to everyday folks. So he's been making strides, if you would, with the left, like with the Democrat Party, those of them that are actually saying, let's go to Bob. That party and the unions. Well, the Democrat Party is going so far left, and they're supposed to be the, Working People's Party.

Right now, they're the immigrants, criminals, and everybody that doesn't want a work party. We do not align with them. When we work hard for our jobs, we want our taxes to go for us or for American citizens, not for illegal immigrants. We don't align with no borders. We don't align with no police.

We don't align with giving everybody, you know, whatever they're looking for. and, you know, recently I just heard Kristen Gillibrand and Akeem Jeffreys saying they have a large tent. They want to invite everybody into their tent. But why wouldn't they want to invite everybody into their tent? They opened up the borders to let everybody in for four years. My personal opinion and my members' personal opinions are

they should fold that tent up, pack it back up, and get rid of them because we've just let some Democrats know that we've backed for years. We're not backing them anymore. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, okay? You heard what I heard. He said, we've just let the Democrats know. We have backed them for years, and we're not backing them anymore. Not backing them anymore.

I mean, wow, for the unions to be ditching the Democrat Party, guys, that is actually a really big deal. And it shows you the point at which we're now at. I heard one of you guys talking about gold. You guys are wondering if I am live. You better believe I am live, at least in the here and now right now. We do have a replay that goes out. And I encourage you if you can't watch live, always check the replay. We put it at the top of the channel.

But yeah, I'm absolutely live right now. Gold. I mean, that might be one of the answers here, right, with these socialist tendencies. And I'm not talking just, you know, any gold. I'm talking like real gold, like bullion gold, okay? And where you need to go for that if you're interested in purchasing it, you can go see our wonderful sponsors from KEPM.

that you sometimes see in the gold industry. You know, and look, like, it's, I get it. Like, it's nice to have a coin with maybe Donald Trump's face on it. But it actually affects the price that you pay. So you pay more because of the artistry, if you would, that goes into making that. And so this is just about pure investment only. Go check them out. Trish loves gold and silver.

Don't forget about silver.com. As we think about what's happening on the socialism front, and this desire to try and scoop up as many voters as they can. They are once again going back to, what do you think? The race card. The race card all day long. The ladies on the view are going back to the race card. I'm wondering if this is going to get them in more trouble than they want to be in with the FCC chair

because once again talking a whole bunch of nonsense. Here's my theory. Sonny Hauston, it is time for you to go. You've done the show for 10 years. That's 10 years too many. especially when you can't stop saying stuff like this. I mean, maybe you just should leave the country because you're really, clearly, a miserable person

who's miserable here, and somehow the flag means something else to you that it doesn't mean to anybody else. You're the one who has inverted the meaning, if you would, of the American flag. Here we go. Sunny Houston on the View today. And I said this on this show many, many years ago, because this is my 10th year on the show, and I said there are times when I walk into a community

and I see American flags all over the community, and I suddenly feel unsafe because there is a section of this country that has co-opted the American flag, and they equate being an American or an American flag with white supremacy, and that should never be the symbol of white supremacy, but they have weaponized.

Because the flag belongs to all of us. It does belong to all of us. But those men were wearing a flag on their... Right. Right. So now the American flag is a symbol of white national, like, that's just you. Okay, that's you, Sonny. That's your interpretation, which means you're actually the one that has co-opted what it means, what the flag is. There's not the white supremacist. It's like literally you, Sonny. It is you because you are the one that now thinks if you fly a flag or if in your, in a neighborhood with a lot of flags,

it's somehow you're surrounded by white supremacists. That's all in your head, okay? This is another, it's another layer to the TDS that we talk about. It's a real thing, guys, a very, very real thing. I mean, and the whole lot of them, we've got this lady who's auditioning for a job on the view. Jazzy really wants to get her next gig on the view, and maybe she's actually making a beeline for Sunny Houston's spot.

Oh, she might be. Listen to her here. You see, a lot of haters got a lot of things to say about me and my race and how I ran it, but the reality is that there was a lot of racist, not a lot. It was racist. It was a racist race. It is what it is, right? But we live in America as y'all are celebrating 250, okay?

We know what this country is. It was a racist race? This was the Democrats' race, Jasmine. You were elected as a Democrat from Texas, and you've, ran a race and you couldn't beat the other dem. So now she gets away with saying that. Can you imagine? Like, she's trying to say it wasn't fair because it was a racist race. You know, I would say any of those votes you got from the quote-unquote unhoused people that you're now citing. I'm going to show you this one. That might have been actually a bit of

corruption in the works just saying, just thinking, I mean, when we talk about Save America and the importance of Save America. I heard this. She did another interview. Apparently, she's been very prolific over the weekend. She's been very, very busy talking to every person she possibly can. And in this particular interview, she started saying how great it was that she had so much support from unhoused people. Unhoused people. It's like a new, you know, remember when you couldn't say migrant, you couldn't say illegal, just undocumented people? This is kind of like the, what are they calling mothers now? Birthing people?

Okay, there's unhoused people. This is the new one, courtesy of Jasmine Crockett. Oh, is it not here? I may not have it for you, unfortunately. We will find that perhaps tomorrow. Actually, wait a second, I may actually be able to pull this one off. Unhoused people, let's see if this works. Some of the most impactful voters that I've had have been unhoused.

people. And, you know, it has been the simplest things that I didn't even realize, just recognizing their humanity that made them want to show up and vote for me. Unhoused people. What is the unhoused people about really and truly? This is bonkers. Just absolutely bonkers. Guys, that should make you in and of itself really want to see that Save America. really come to fruition. And it's getting closer and closer and closer. Some concerning news for the Democrat Party at this hour, I want to share with you that Graham Platner might be out. Yeah. Apparently, he's really not a good guy. Gee, I could have told you that. I could have told you that. You know, the vetting team that didn't vet him probably should have worked a little bit harder,

you know, maybe put in a little bit of overtime. They kind of cheaped out. if you would, on the whole vetting process. So here we go. Democrats begin pulling Plattner endorsements after main candidate faces sexual assault allegation. So apparently the ex-girlfriend has come forward and said he raped her. And it's something that's concerning enough that a lot of Democrats are pulling their support of one Graham Platner.

Again, I could have told you. I mean, the guy has a freaking Nazi tattoo on him. Like, he's probably not the best guy. It's a really important race. Don't forget, you've got Graham Platner, the oyster farmer veteran guy who claims he grew up really poor, although he went to prep school. So, you know, go figure. He's pulling a Jasmine Crockett.

Didn't she go to a prep school too? Versus the longtime Republican Susan Collins, who doesn't really love Trump, but she's kind of steady-eddy there in the state of Maine. And so this is very, very important because it's one of the, perhaps best opportunities for the Democrats to pick up a seat against a Republican incumbent. And he's had a lot of momentum, and it may be over. It may be over. I mean, it really may be over.

I'm not sure how he really survives this, especially if they are, you know, is upset about some of the things that they claim that they're upset about with Trump, then you would think that they would be upset about Graham Platner. Chris Murphy, the senator from Connecticut, he's going out of his way to defend Platner. I guess they really do see him as their only opportunity. Let's go to the sound right now. If this is going to be a character election in Maine, there is a question of character in continuing to support a president that is terrorizing immigrants in this country.

Well, you now have a whole other sort of situation. situation you get a deal with because, again, we'll go back to the story. AP reporting this right here, that Democrats are now starting to pull their endorsements and there may be some pressure on him to drop out. According to the AP, a woman who previously dated this guy said he drunkenly assaulted her. And it's rather graphic. And she's on record. She spoke with Politico saying that he entered her home in 2021.

was drunk, he assaulted her, and I guess she's been in some kind of on and off. Isn't he like married relationship? Oh, so this is kind of getting a little bit ugly, and I'm not surprised. Again, like, guys, if you don't vet your candidates, this guy was a sporting a Nazi tattoo. Okay, he's now out trying to address these allegations this just crossed moments ago, and I guess we might as well let him have his due. I think it's going to be game over, lights out for one gram platinum. I don't think he's going to be able to survive this, but we shall see here. Let's go to his explanation for what he says happened.

Here we go. I wanted to directly address the troubling, serious, and false allegations against me. Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically false. Over the last 10 months, I have been deeply humbled by the faith Maynors have put in me. You have welcomed me into your homes, into your places of work, into your restaurants, into your houses of worship. You have shown that a different kind of politics, one that puts the interests of people over corporations, is not just possible, but is inevitable.

This movement we have built, the largest volunteer base in the history of Maine politics, the hundreds of thousands of grassroots donors, and the supporters across the ideological spectrum, we were united in a love of Maine, a belief that our politics must change, and a focus on defeating Susan Collins. So, regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting, but mindful of the political reality will inflict,

we are taking the time to reflect on the best path forward for the state that I love, the people that I love, the movement I belong to, and the goal of defeating Susan Collins. Those were the goals when we launched this campaign, and they remain my goals today. On June 9th, 154,058 Mainers, the most in primary history,

voted to reject a broken politics beholden to Washington and the daughter class. They voted for hope, for change, to take back our economy, to take back our power, and to take back our self. seat. Throughout it all, you never turned your back on me, and I will not turn my back on you now. Every one of you deserves to see that vision come to fruition and see Susan Collins defeated,

and we will use every tool at our disposal to do so. As men goes, so goes the nation. As always, thank you. Okay. So I would just say this is not looking good for him. And again, it probably could have been prevented if they had maybe been a little bit smarter about how they went about vetting candidates. They kind of just wanted to go for the, oh my gosh, he's an oyster farmer. Oh my gosh, he's a veteran. Oh my gosh. He seemed like he was the whole package. He looks a certain way. You know, just remember what they did with AOC? Right? They auditioned. They had 10,000 candidates coming forward, 10,000 opportunities and lucky her. She's lucky us. You know, they got AOC out of that. So it was a little bit like that, and so the vetting wasn't really that serious.

And some Maine voters, you know, they fall for it. They fall for it. I want to show you, this is a very interesting clip. Let's see if we can play this here for you from the main wire. Yes, the Supreme Court. No, it does not be a threat. It does not be a press. This is a reporter up in Maine with some main voters.

And you're wearing an anti-Nazi pen on here, but are you a Grand Platner's reporter? Yes. How can you wear an anti-Nazi? button and be a grand planter. Who do you support? What do you support? You like Trump? You like Stephen Miller?

I don't know Stephen Miller, no. So you don't know what you're talking about? What do you mean I don't know what I'm talking about? They're fascists. How am I a fascist? Explain that to me. They're fascist. So explain that to me.

So who are you filming me for? You haven't asked for my permission. It's a one-party state here in Maine. You know, one-party rules apply in Maine. He can film you. He's on a public street. So when you say, when you say, When you say he's a fascist, what does that mean?

He's a fashion. What does that mean? He's a dictator. Okay, so explain, you know, assume I'm stupid. You explain to me what a fascist is. Why don't you tell me since you're the one time? I'm not the one calling President Trump a fascist. I didn't call him a fascist.

Did I just fall into the twilight zone? You did call. You did, you did. You did. You did. You did. You did. So what does that mean that he's a fascist? Didn't you're entitled to your opinion. How did it? No, fashion. Yeah.

The government marked by centralization, yes, because I don't memorize this. Okay. Marked by centralization of authority under a dictator. A capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violence suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. I think we check all the pricking boxes. So you're saying Donald Trump's a dictator? Yes, he is.

You don't vote? I vote. So how can you have a dictatorship when you have a democracy? The same way, a lot of other fascist democracies. They vote. So what group do you belong to? What group do I belong? Yes, what group?

You obviously belong to a freaking group. You're out here with your goddamn cameras filming us. Why is it a goddamn camera? It's okay. Why is it a goddamn camera? We're from the main wire. And what is that? You guys got wires?

We're the largest media house at the state of the wire. You're out here and trigger us. No, we're not out of your trigger. We're here to get your point of view. Just like. No, you're flying an American flag upside down. So we're just asking questions. I hope you're proud of yourself.

You triggered me in all kinds of ways. Get out of my face. Away. Good luck with your Nazi guy that you're going to have all for. Yeah, good luck in your life. If you don't love America, why don't you leave? Because you can't. What do you mean you can't leave?

I can get you a plane ticket in 20 minutes. They won't let you in. Who won't let you in? You are so stupid. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you for noticing. here. I'm, I'm a lot of things, but stupid any one of them.

Okay, so these are the main voters, guys. These are the main voters that Graham Platner is trying to win. I have a feeling he may actually keep her. He's going to keep her. And, you know, the Democrats are already coalescing. They're saying, listen, we just need to win. Okay, that's all they care. But they don't care who goes in there. They just need to win. Here is, oh, lovely little guy, Ruben Gallego, he's buddies, you know, with Gavin Newsom, and he may be in a little bit of trouble. Let's watch. This guy is an authentic man.

You know, he's not anti-Semitic, you know, and more importantly, you know, not more importantly, but just as important, is that he's going to win this election. And we need to win elections. We cannot go another four, five, six years, you know, trying to get the Senate back. Like, we need to consistently win because whoever's going to be president in 2020, eight, we need to hand them. the House and the Senate. You see, so it's all about winning. Nobody has any backbone. Nobody has any ethics.

It's just about what do we need to do to win. And if they win, God help us. It was a really bad four years under Biden. You know that. I know that. And we don't want to repeat that. So hopefully people come to their senses. And Graham, Plattner,

departs gracefully, stage left. Reminder, go check out my portfolios, 76 research.com, 10 to 15 stocks in each one of those. I'll tell you, we really love capitalism there, right? 76 research.com, go check those out. It's great to have you guys here. Yeah, we're talking a little sports, you know. It's kind of fun today.
