The Trish Regan Show - Trump EXPLODES Over EU's $1 Billion Money Grab “America Is NOT Europe’s PIGGYBANK!”

Episode Date: July 24, 2026

Trump goes into full retaliation mode over Europe’s newest $1 billion fine against American tech company Google. Moments ago, he announced a 301 investigation accusing the Europeans of fining great American companies to line their own pockets. This, on the heels of new tariffs going into effect today on not just European nations, but 60 countires in total. Canada is celebrating its opening of a new bridge with Detroit… but tariffs on our northern neighbor are even worse — hitting 50%! Plus, Mamdani’s ‘activism’ is already being felt in the streets of New York where two people were attacked by knife in an apparent hate crime. The Dem party is starting to distance itself from Mamdani — with even Letitia James picking a side. These stories and more in today’s Trish Regan Show. Learn more about your ad choices.

Well, we've got a little bit of news here. They're not going to be very happy about this here in Europe. I can tell you they aren't happy about it. Donald Trump has just announced that he is launching a new investigation amid accusations from him that Europe is trying to use the U.S. as its piggy bank. Ah, something new and different, right? Something new and different. We've seen it with NATO.

We've seen it in that they've taken advantage, frankly, of our generosity and our troops, not allowing us, for example, to use our own bases that we pay for? And now they're finding American tech companies to the tune of billions of dollars. And Donald Trump is like, okay, enough is enough is enough. I mean, you may have gotten away with that under Joe Biden, sleepy Joe Biden, as he calls him, but you're not going to get away with it with me. So here we're looking at the F.T headline that just broke. Donald Trump threatens new EU tariffs in retaliation for fines on U.S. tech companies, president says Washington will launch new probe into the block that would be the European Union that could sharpen trade tensions. Okay, as if they couldn't get

any worse, they're about to. They're about to because he's like, you don't go around and just keep announcing billions of dollars worth of fines on American tech companies and think that I'm not going to care, that I'm not going to do anything about it. He's like, this is getting a little out of hand. And this comes on the heels of what was it two days ago that they announced. Here we go. We've got a nice little spiffy graphic here that we made for you. You can see it's a billion dollars total that they just hit Google with. And so he's like, you're not going to keep doing this. You're just not. So it was 460 million euros for self-prefishing on Google search. They said you're violating our rules. Another 430 million euros for anti-steering restrictions on Google Play. And he's like, wait a second. You know what? They have some autonomy here. After all, you guys are choosing to use them. They don't have to abide by all these ridiculous parameters that you're setting up that we actually feel are not in conjunction with sort of or in sync with free markets. They're a company. You are choosing to use their services, so you're just going to have to deal with it. And so he's like, I don't like this. Here we go.

True Social Post just moments ago. The European Union, he writes, is at it again. And as usual, taking direct aim at great American companies after having find Apple for no reason at all. $15 billion. Woo! Okay, 15 billion. You know, Google, you might be getting out easy with a billion here. For no reason at all, $15 billion, meta, $3 billion, Amazon, $2.5 billion, and many others, we have just been informed that Google, a truly advanced, an amazing

group, has been fined yet another billion dollars without explanation. This brings the Google total to $18 billion. So you see, he's looking at that. this and saying, I think they're just looking at deep pockets, right? And so they're going in, they're going after these big American companies that are super, super successful and saying, well, we can get a little caching out of them. This illegal and highly discriminatory practice, he writes on true social, started, interestingly, started at these high levels during the first year of the sleepy Joe Biden administration, but it's not going to continue under the Trump

administration. The United States of America is not a piggy bank for Europe. nor will we allow it to be. He continues on, and this is when it gets interesting here, because he says he's initiating this 301 investigation into the practice of robbing American companies and intern the American taxpayer. So when you rob American companies and we decide to launch a 301 investigation, we can then fire back against you with all kinds of 301 tariffs. In fact, all the tariffs that just went into effect today on 60 countries, remember the Supreme Court said you can't do it the way you wanted to do it? So then he said, okay, fine. I'm going to use 301.

So he's got section 301 tariffs that just got launched 10 to 12.5% on 60 countries today. And now Europe, you're going to get a whole lot more. I mean, he just did it to Canada too, right? 50%. The European Union will pay a very big price. He writes for this illegal and highly unethical conduct, which I have consistently warned them about. The penalties will be entirely reversed. And we anticipate a substantial tariff to be placed on them at the

earliest possible moment. Stay tuned, President Donald J. Trump. So he's basically saying, like, we're going to sue your, you know what's. And, you know, if you guys continue to levy all these fines on our big, big companies like meta, like Google, then we are going to take issue with that, and we are going to fire back with tariffs of our own on you. And we're going to make sure that we recoup the losses for these American tech companies. Really interesting to see that they started doing this aggressively under the Joe Biden administration. He's coming around and saying, yeah, this isn't going to happen anymore. You're just not going to get away with this. And making it clear that, you know, there's a new sheriff in town, if you would. And that new sheriff is all about

protecting American interests. It goes sort of along with what we've been seeing in terms of tariffs altogether, right? Don't forget how much levying of tariffs he was putting on Europe. to begin with. Don't forget how he has consistently threatened to withdraw NATO funding. And in fact, they're undergoing in Europe a six-month review that the Pentagon has initiated. And during that six-month time, they're going to be looking at who's actually looking to contribute to their NATO duties. You're supposed to put in 5% of GDP. If you're not putting in 5% of GDP, then the Pentagon is going to say, well, we're going to cut you here. We're going to cut you there. Already Germany has experienced this. because Germany is not actually contributing the 5% and Germany is getting hit with the reduction

in troops, 5,000 troops that have been diverted out of Germany and actually put into Poland. I mean, there was another 5. I think it's actually 10,000 all in because he did this twice, first 5,000 and then another 5,000. And so it's like, whoa, I mean, well, Germany wants to lead Europe forward, right? They just said, we're going to become the... military leader for Europe. I mean, they're so excited right over in Germany. They haven't gotten to do this in quite some time. In fact, like all the way back to World War II. They just came out with their first defense paper in Germany in, well, since World War II. That's a lot of years. Okay, that's quite a few decades. So they're like, okay, they're revving up. But, you know, they got to

actually have the manpower. And if we're pulling troops out, then that puts more of a burden on them. I would argue that it's better for them and it's better for us if they actually learn to take care of themselves. Right now, the only one that seemingly can take care of itself would be Ukraine. So maybe they can take some lessons from Zelensky. And they can learn how to protect themselves a little bit better. I mean, for starters, maybe you shouldn't be relying on your enemy for natural gas. Yeah, that was not a bright move. Don't forget. That was Angela Merkle who tried that one. Anyway, we're in sort of a new kind of escalation, if you would, for this trade war, and it's getting serious. It comes, as I said, on the heels of new tariffs already going in. So today,

it was announced that there are 10 to 12.5% tariffs going into effect on 60 countries. These are also part of that 301 initiative, right? He couldn't get the tariffs to stay in effect that the Supreme Court had put in. So now he's come up with this. Let me go to a quick report on it, from my friends over Fox. Cracking down on forced labor. The new levies will impact 60 countries that account for 99% of U.S. imports. Edward Lawrence, that's a big number.

He's live from the White House. Hello to you, sir. Good morning. Hello, Bill. And senior administration officials are saying that this does not replace the Section 122 tariffs that ended at 12.01 a.m. Eastern time this morning. However, the new tariffs come into effect

the moment the old ones ended by law. Now, this is low-hanging fruit for the Trump administration, really, because multiple administrations had long tracked the use of forced labor in camps across the globe. Now, this is well documented. Based on the Section 301 report, the Trump administration put in place now tariffs ranging from 10% to 12.5% on 60 countries. Some market experts worry that the tariffs themselves, though, will put pressure on inflation. So I understand why the president is using tariffs. Hmm. So, you know, yeah, I mean, you get some inflation creeping into the economy vis-à-vis the higher oil prices, so they're very worried all over the world, including here in Europe,

about what it's all going to mean for prices overall. But I'm just telling you, the 10 to 12.5% like it could get so much worse for Europe, just like it has for Canada. Canada getting hit with 50%. I mean, wow, here, I want to show you. Today they're out selling. They got a new bridge that they're putting up to Detroit. They're very excited about this one. Do you see? It means Carrie's strong mind. Okay, so they had a little celebration.

It went really well. Really exciting. They originally were supposed to do a big thing with the U.S., but given the 50% tariff thing that just got levied on them, they're not kind of feeling it right now, so let's see what happened. We're going to say a song. I'd like to ask everyone to please stand in honor of our ancestors.

Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy. Oh, guys. I mean, okay, make it stop, make it stop, right? Oh, Canada. Oh, Canada, please. So they've got this bridge. It was started during the Obama. Oh, God, they loved a bomb.

They just loved Obama up in Canada. I mean, they loved Obama about as much as they hate Donald Trump. So they decided Obama and the Canadians back in the day when Obama was in office that they were going to put this bridge into Detroit. And so today the bridge was unveiled. And wow, you can see, that was the, woohoo, ceremony. So exciting stuff, exciting stuff. But I'll tell you, the president, he's put on this 50% tariff that happened earlier this week, Monday or Tuesday, actually, of this week. he signed three proclamations. This is under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930. How do you like that?

Rarely Used Authority. He's coming up with all these rare little gems. And basically, it targets specific Canadian products. And responsible what the White House calls Canada's discriminatory treatment of U.S. exports in three specific areas in motor vehicles and alcoholic beverages and also in dairy. And so basically, you're going to be seeing 50% tariffs covering a very broad list of Canadian products, including wine and other alcohol. didn't know they made any wine in Canada, actually, to be perfectly honest. Dairy items, I get that. Cement, furniture, electronics, telecom equipment, building materials, plastics, agriculture, products, and more the list goes on and on. There are some exemptions for things like energy, for potash, for fish, for critical materials, minerals, I should say, and goods already under the section 232 tariff. So the Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, he's kind of mad at this, right? He's like really,

really mad because he's like, gosh, you know, I can't catch a break with Donald Trump. And on top of it, now he's blaming me for the fires. Oh, yeah, you better believe he is. Take a look at Donald Trump speaking about Canada and musing about the idea that we might need to do even more tariffs. Well, it went good, but I told them, I mean, you've got to stop these fires from coming in and, you know, poisoning our air. Our air has been poisoned. I have a good relationship with Mark Carney. But, you know, we got to stop the fires up there. If we can help them, we'll help them. But maybe they should pay us some damages or something or we should do some tariffs. But it was terrible. I mean, you had businesses closing. In particular, Michigan, if you look at Detroit, the Detroit, Michigan

here, they had to close everything. They had closed car plants and a lot of other things. So I've never remembered this happening. Over the last four or five years, you saw it starting to take place. I've never remembered it happening. Well, we've got those fires. They are happening. There's a lot of blame going on to Canada as a result of those. And so there's a lot of blame on Canada overall, right? So 50% and could it move even higher.

I mean, he's never met a tariff if he doesn't love. He really likes these tariffs. But I've told you before, you know, it's actually a pretty smart way to be able to affect foreign policy. because wouldn't you rather use financial instruments than use force? And he's realized, and perhaps, Take this is your sign to go. Just get out there and go. This summer at Best Western, get 1,000 bonus points

So you always instinctively knew we had the almighty, strength of the U.S. economy and the need for all of these countries to be doing business with us. And so if we exploit that or use that to our advantage a little bit more, then we can actually start to achieve some of the goals that we want. For example, like getting Europe to pay its fair share and the 5% of NATO, GDP, to the NATO budget that it so badly needs to address. Or maybe we want to make sure that Canada has less protective measures on these various industries that they have so that we have more of an equal footing in free trade with Canada. Or maybe, yes, we want to to make sure that they're not, you know, letting their bushes grow wild and therefore

saddling us with the pollution that then is the result of these horrible wildfires. So Canada very much in focus today as well. And you know who else is in focus? Speaking of people the president doesn't like. One mayor, Mamdami, horrible stuff in New York, two people being stabbed there on the corner of 86 and Broadway, forgive me, Amsterdam Avenue right near Broadway. So this is the Upper West Side. And the guy was shouting Alu Akbar as he did this. We've got a picture on him. Here he was arrested earlier today.

This is the guy, 50 some odd years old, shouting Alu Akbar. And so it is being viewed, of course, as a hate crime by, well, perhaps everybody but Mamdami. And, well, maybe everybody besides Mamdami and CNN. CNN didn't quite. they reported on this today, they didn't quite seem to recognize that Alu Akbar was a relevant part of the story. Indeed, it's quite relevant, quite relevant indeed. I would just say that's kind of the whole story, right? And one of the concerns or fears is that Mimdami is stoking this, stoking this because he is the one who has effectively encouraged this kind of hate.

You know, he was out because he can't get Netanyahu arrested, saying that he wanted to see everybody take to the streets in New York and protest. Protest Netanyahu's visit to New York in September. Wow. I mean, you think about what the New York City police have been up against, right? In the last couple of weeks with FIFA and the security measures that they had to take there, you think about how they're, they're talking. trying to deal with a very limited staffing situation and they've got this escalation in possible violence tied to the mayor of New York City telling everyone to take to the streets in protest. I mean, this is bad stuff. So here's another story. We've got the New York Post reporting

on this. The New York attacker shouting, Alu Akbar, and Jewish leaders are blasting Mamdami here because they're saying, you know, he's effectively what I just told you, encouraging these hate crimes by fanning these flames of hatred and division in New York City right now. This is an activist, okay, a really kind of charged activist. I was talking the other day about, like, is he an Iranian asset? I mean, I kind of wonder, because he's the one who's using his staff to make arrangements to meet with Iran. And this happens to be the country that we're at war with right now.

Like, why would you be doing that? You're the freaking mayor of New York City. You are not a diplomat. You should not be meeting with Iran. I want to go to his statement that he put out today after these stabbings, and he said, I have been briefed on today's horrifying stabbing on the Upper West Side where an Asian man and a Jewish man were attacked, according to witnesses and victims' statements. The perpetrator yelled Alu Akbar during both attacks.

Okay, so we can at least give him that, I guess, which is more than CNN, because when they first reported this story, that was nowhere. I am relieved that both victims are in stable condition. The NYPD responded immediately arrested Raul Morales. us in connection with both assaults, and I am grateful to the officers for their swift response. The NYPD's initial investigations suggests that mental health may have been a factor. Of course, you see what he's going back to? Mental health, mental health, mental health. Nobody ever wants to say, nobody ever wants to say that the teachings of the Muslim faith

and the al-Avah-Bar stuff has anything to do, anything to do at all, with the rise in these hate crimes that we've seen. and that's pretty significant. Yes, he said these hateful and despicable attacks have no place in our city. Okay, well, maybe you shouldn't be going out there trying to rile up the troops and say, hey, go take to the streets against Netanyahu. Maybe you shouldn't be constantly spouting your anti-Semitic stuff. Maybe your wife shouldn't have been liking posts after October 7th.

Cops fume as Mamdami urges New Yorkers to take to the streets to protest Netanyahu after arrest failure. We're on the edge of chaos, according to the cops in New York City. And the mayor's actually encouraging it. That's what's so bonkers right now. According to the article, again in the Post, and they're quoting there, the NYPD Police Benevolent Association, President Patrick Hendry, who said the mayor's activist posturing puts police officers on the street in a terrible position. Protest during the UN General Assembly are nothing new, but when the mayor of the city is actively calling for demonstrations, violent agitators will assume they have permission to cause as much havoc as possible.

This, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, before we had the two stabbings on the Upper West Side today. So this was already out there. He's already calling for all this. And then, what do you know, you get two stabbings with somebody shouting al-Au Akbar? Those same agitators know that the NYPD's protest response is already hamstrung by the dangerous lawsuit settlement. the city signed over the PBA's opposition, the mayor's heated rhetoric could be enough to push demonstrations over the edge and into chaos, over the edge and into chaos. Now, what kind of mayor I ask you? What kind of mayor is telling people, now granted, I mean, don't get me wrong.

Everybody has a First Amendment right and you're welcome to take to the streets and protest anything you want, anytime you want. But who, as a politician, as a mayor, would actually tell people to go out and do that, knowing, knowing full well what it's going to do. do to the city and the limits it's going to put. And you don't think that these things are connected. Again, he's out there doing that and saying that and oh, everybody's upset because they can't get Netanyahu arrested like they ever could have. I mean, what kind of looney tune, idiot, dummy, who ever thought that to begin with? You got little things called, oh, I don't know, immunity. Immunity is kind of a big one, right? Diplomatic immunity. He's a head of a country,

a country that we actually having to be allies with and that we like and he's out there. Mamdami is saying the guy needs to be arrested and he's backing the ICC, the ICC a court that we don't even recognize for a whole variety of reasons. So according to the post, Mamdami has been obsessing about Netanyahu. We know that since he was on the campaign trail last year. Apparently, another story out today that people tried to discourage him from going on and on about Netanyahu. Like Netanyahu is his little Vian his bonnet, right? Like he's obsessed with Netanyahu, which tells us, speaks volumes about how anti-Semitic this guy really is. And the fact that his wife, his wife was liking those heinous posts after October 7th. I mean, that's who these people are. Okay, that's all you need to know. Anyway, the mayor was forced to

backtrack this week. He admitted he didn't have the Jews to do it. He got a little scared, you see. I think he kind of realized when Donald Trump was like, yeah, you know, can't be dumb. And if you do it, he said exactly what I said. You know, you're going to be a violation of the law. And that means you're going to get arrested and you're going to go to jail. long before Netanyahu is ever going to go, right? You're going to face that consequence. This is a city where if anyone feels a level of frustration or opposition protest is something we have to, we will always respect. He told the reporters at City Hall this week that New Yorkers can express themselves whether they're in support of or in opposition them, no matter what or whatever the topic. And I've always said that we respect our Constitution. We also respect our First Amendment.

So he's saying, hey, you know, get out there and protest. And the police are like, are you kidding us? I mean, by the way, he wants to defund the police too, right? This is what happens when you get a bunch of commies in charge. I mean, I know we should just look at New York and say, you guys, it's your fault. You elected him. But what's frightening is that it's kind of taking on this bigger role all across the country now from Colorado, where we heard the woman out there, the woman that was born in Ethiopia and says the only way to get rid of America's imperialism and extremism and extortion, et cetera, is to have all these third world migrants come into the country and take over the government here in America? I mean, none of these people actually

like America. That's kind of the headline that you need to think about when you're digesting all of this and saying, okay, maybe this communism stuff isn't real. Or maybe it is. Maybe this is exactly what they're trying to do. These are the foreign plants and the foreign intel that has taken effect. I'll tell you, Letitia James is kind of surprising me here. Tishie, baby, I like what I'm seeing. I like what I'm hearing. And I never thought I'd actually say those words, but she's turning against Mamdami. She turned against him after his backup singers won the election, the backup singers that say it's America's fault for 9-11. And those people are going to be winding up in Congress. Think about that, okay? Terrible, terrible, terrible people. And Letitia also kind of surprising us

a little bit here, siding, I think, with the Jewish community that's like, gee, you know, this can't, can't happen. You can't have a New York with a mayor who's out there saying such anti-Semitic stuff and encouraging this kind of violence effectively. So Letitia is turning her back on Mamdami. I got to play you this soundbite. Very interesting, very interesting. I still don't like her. All right. You know that. But I do think credit where credit is due, she's taking the right stand on this one. Okay, Tish. What I do want to say is that it's really critically important that individuals understand that anti-Semitic acts have been growing in the city of New York. It's really critically important.

And then also acts against the Asian community have also been on the increase. So it's important that I stand with my Jewish friends, that I stand with my Asian friends, that I let everyone know that there should not be any space between any of us. That we should stand together against any form of hate, any act of hate in the city and the state of New York, that it will not be tolerated.

It's important that the Jewish community understand and know that they are not alone, that I and others in the African-American community stand together. It's also important that members of the Asian community know that I and members of the African-American community stand with them. And that hate will not be tolerated in this city and or in this state. I'm praying for the city. I'm praying for the state. I'm praying for this nation. I'm praying for everyone, obviously, who recognizes that we're all in this together, that we're all God's children, and it's important that we not assign any particular outcome to this investigation. It's an unassailable truth that we cannot leave any one community to bear the burden of hate and fear alone.

That combating anti-Semitism and hate against the Asian community is a responsibility of all of us, all in New York. All Americans. Wow. Okay. So Tishy, baby. Wow. Maybe you have bigger political aspirations. I'm not sure. But very interesting to see how she's turning on Mamdami right here and right now. I don't trust her. I think that there's always a motive behind all of this. So, you know, let me just say that. But nonetheless, it's the right thing to do at this moment in time because it's kind of getting out of control. It really is. And you need some adults, not that she is one, but some people have to speak up against this. We're seeing it from other Democrats, too, not just, you know, the local politicians there. I'd like to see Kathy Hokel, by the way.

Kathy Hokel, it's your turn to stand up against this cancer that is one comrade Mamdami, who, by the way, is not doing the city any favors at all. Big article by my friend and former colleague Charlie Gasparino on the New York Post today. Charlie was writing on how the bond market is kind of freaking out, and you're seeing interest rates on New York City municipal debt go up, up and away. Why? Because bond investors are like, we can't trust him. We don't know that the city's going to really be able to, you know, add one in one and get two anymore. And so we're seeing a big spike in the interest rate that you have to pay if you're in New York to borrow money right now because investors are like, we don't want to lend to you. Why would we lend to you? And there was another article today in Bloomberg. that talked about the exodus out of New York and out of California into Miami. Everybody's going to Florida, right? Because low taxes, actually no taxes, right? No income tax in the state of Florida. And you've got crazy taxes going on there in California. You get crazy taxes there in none other than New York City. And he's kind of just really, there's an edge to him that's very, very unpleasant. Let me see if I have his tweet. I want to show you today what he put out. This is really just

kind of gross. The way he phrases this, he writes, and I share it with you, if you have a second home in New York City worth more than $5 million, check your mailbox when you're back in the five bureaus because you've got mail. Today we sent notification letters to property owners, letting them know that our new Pietta Terror tax is coming soon. The best city in the world deserves the best parks, libraries, and schools in the world. That's only possible when all pay are a fair share. So he is once again, and I actually know some people that have Pietater's worth a lot of money, and guess what, they're selling them. I think everybody's selling, everybody's leaving, everybody's getting out. So, Mamdami, the problem with this is at some point, the Margaret Thatcher thing,

right? You know, at some point you run out of other people's money, you're not going to have any money to pay for all these parks and libraries and schools. Your schools have a ton of money that we devote to those schools. And guess what? They suck. They are the worst. schools. If you live in New York City, you really can't even send your kid to a public school because they're so, so bad. And they spend more per pupil than like anywhere else in the country. And they're miserable places. Why? Because all the money goes to the unions, right? Doesn't go to the kids. It goes to big old government. That's always how it works. This is part of the reason why communism never actually works. Let me go to John Fetterman, who's kind of fed up with this guy

who's like, Mamdami, enough is enough is enough. You're out there trying to orchestrate meetings with Iran. You're out there trying to arrest Netanyahu, buddy boy. You got to like do your job. You got to actually show up to work and like get the potholes fixed for goodness sakes. You've got grandeur, delusions, grand delusions about what your role in all of this actually is. And when now you have the mayor of a city, you are a mayor, dude. You're a mayor. You can fix a pothole. You can take out the trash. But you can't order people to. to arrest anybody any more than I could, you know, I could have him arrested if he goes to Pennsylvania. That's, it's a joke, and he's a clown. And now he also said that Netanyahu is not

welcome in New York. You know, you can't say that any more than I could say, Mayor, you're not, you're not welcome in Pennsylvania. So sit down, you know you're a clown, and you are just going to pander to the fringe. And that's part of your base. and I know you're angry at Netanyahu because he killed a lot of people you admire, whether like that Sinwar or Nasrallah or Al-Kamania in Iran. That's the guy that will only criticize the prime minister or Israel, but he never criticizes Hamas. He's never criticizing Hezbollah or Iran.

I've never heard the mayor say and condemn Iran for killing 30,000 of its young people just asking for democracy. in their nation. It's really kind of twisted, really pretty twisted, that this upstart, this 34-year-old, has come into New York City, taken the sort of imagination of the populace there. You know, a few too many Brooklyn hipsters, right, went out to vote, I guess, and not enough sort of sensible, smart adults bothered to vote in this round. I don't think he's going to get another round.

I don't think it's going to continue. you, but look, I could be wrong because you look at some of the people that are succeeding in the party, and it's concerning. We're going to get to that. But first, Donald Trump has sent Mamdami a warning. He said basically, hey, buddy boy, you're never going to get to arrest Netanyahu. And by the way, if you try, we're going to arrest you effectively. I mean, you can't. You just can't do it. And even though he had his lawyers, Mamdami had his lawyers going back over and over and over and over, trying to look at how there was some kind of loophole he could get Natanyahu. The ultimate conclusion of the lawyers and thus Mamdami himself was yeah it's not going to work and uh let me just

point out that the Trump isn't done right he knows exactly what the threat of this kami really is and he articulated this at an event this week I want I want to play it we can't be hoodwinked we can't be taken advantage of by people that say you're going to have a free home you're going to get free rent everything's going to be free what they don't say is a year later everything is going to be end up in squalor, destruction, and death, and also death for our country. So we have to stop the threat of the communist rhetoric that you're hearing right now because these people, they don't, I'm very happy a poll came out. It said they're highly educated, but doing very poorly. In other words, they're losers. They went to school. You got a good education. Now they can't,

they don't know what they're doing. So what they do is they complain about people like yourselves that have done so well. But we can't let the communist ideology even, we don't want to even think about it for this country. It would be terrible. Yeah, I mean, he's right. They kind of are losers, right? They're total losers. They've got all these great degrees and transgender studies and things like that and they can't actually make a living. So they're bitter. We've gotten a whole group of people that have PhDs, all this education. And yet they're sitting there going, gosh, I'm not even going to make as much as a factory worker, you know, that didn't go to school for all those years. And they're angry about it and they're bitter about it, which leads them to resent anybody who has been

successful and anybody who has started a business and made some money. And consequently, they keep turning to communism. Consider this new Fox News poll just out. I want to share with you. Look at who is topping the list. Look at that. One AOC. So she's part of this movement. Don't forget. You know, the Democrat Socialists of America, they love her. They love her, love her, love her. And then she's got 22% right now in July of 26, according to this. Forgive me, it's not actually Fox. This is a UNH, Granite State Poll, UNH, University of New Hampshire. This is New Hampshire Democrat primary voters. So, you know, think about that. New Hampshire isn't what it once was in terms of being able to pick them the way they used to. But nonetheless, she's way out in front,

way out in front. Gavin Newsom last so with 8%. I mean, he's really tanked. Look at where he was in February of 26, October of 25. He was sitting up there around 15%. Kind of tied with her. Pete Buttigieg, he's doing okay. They're 21%. Mark Kelly down to 9%. Gavin Newsom at eight. Bernie Sanders at 6 and Kamala Harris. Oh, well, she's never done well. She's never done well in New Hampshire. In fact, I think she came in last, all right? The first time around. She will never, like, they know that she's... You know that moment when everything feels in sync?

That's Bacardi's vibe. Canada's number one white rum, a rum born from a rhythm. Set to a soundtrack of laughs, loud music, and looks that say stay a little longer. Because weather pouring an ice cold majito or a classic Bacardi and Coke, you're opening the door to the party that lives in everyone. So, consider this your invite.

La Fiesta. Bacardi, do what moves you. Tap the banner to shop now. Live passionately. Drink responsibly. She's never going to be able to get to the finish line. So I give New Hampshire at least that. By the way, born and raised in New Hampshire, live free or die territory.

Let me go to Marco Rubio, who also is articulating the danger of all these commies right now. And I think that this is very much a veiled threat there at one Mamdami. Because listen to what he says. He talks about how the president came out with all that intelligence last Thursday, about how China and Iran and bad actors are trying to weasel their way into the psyche and the American people. And then you think about that combined with this sort of influx of communist sympathy and you get Mamdami. Well, again, what the president put out on Thursday that was a declassification of documents from our intelligence community. That's what he put out. He declassified intelligence

assessments from our intelligence community. But your question was about communist influence. Yeah, the United States doesn't want to be a communist country. We're never going to be a communist this country and we're not going to allow communist influences to undermine our politics or our society. So I don't know what the inconsistency you're referring to is it's very clear. I don't, you know, obviously we understand the Chinese system and other systems, but I can tell you our system doesn't want communism. And we're certainly not going to allow communist efforts to undermine American society and drive wedges into our country and that's what we're seeing. And by the way, one of the leading, you know, culprits of that for many years, the intellectual

authors, particularly in our hemisphere, is the Cuban regime, which our report on Monday outlined. So, yeah, you know, the commies are, they're trying, and they've got their little favorites, like Mamdami, like Mamdami, who, if you ask me, is in violation of the Logan Act, and really ought to be trying for treason, because you shouldn't be out there talking to the Iranians at a time like this, given everything that's going on. But again, back to AOC for a moment, because per that poll, She's leading, okay?

She is the top contender for president. Think about that. And she loves communism as well. Just absolutely loves it. I mean, these are proud card-carrying socialists, and don't let that fool you because it's just one step away from the Fulmonte communism. Here's AOC talking with Allison in the know. That's her Twitter handle from Lindel TV.

Let's watch. I don't do what they want. I don't. I'm not here. And they're concerned that, you know, this slippery slope toward, socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism. I mean, no. I'm not concerned about America turning into a communist country in like a year that it's like I think that is, uh, oh sorry, I think that that's, um, I think it's very silly. You just think about how impossible it has been to raise the

minimum wage in America in 10, 15, 20 years. We can't even raise the minimum wage. Do Republicans really think that this stuff is going to happen? No, they don't. They're trying to scare people because they don't want us talking about the fact that we all have a right to health care in this country. So they want to call it communist and they want to call everything they don't like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here, then they're going to realize that they deserve better. And that health care is a right isn't crazy. It isn't fine in the sky. They want to call this stuff communist because they don't want us to realize that the rest

of the developed world has guaranteed health care in this country. So they want to call it communist because they don't want you to know that Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada, everybody else has it better than us. And we spent the most amount of money for the worst care in the modern developed world. But Democrats were clearly saying the moment they regain power, They will pass this. Sorry, guys. I'm not trying to be all safe here. I appreciate that.

Oh, what's your name? Brandon. Yeah, you see a title on there, a headline on there, a headline on there, a headline company. We talked about that yesterday. I encourage you to go and listen to part of yesterday's show. If you missed that 6,600 non-citizens getting registered to vote in New Jersey, 400 of whom did actually vote.

and you think about the influx of all these people into the country, you think about the change in position, right, of the Democrats since Hillary of yesteryear or Barack Obama back when he was first running and talking about the importance of shutting down the border and securing the border because we can't be allowing all of these people to come in. And then you realize, along with this communism stuff, they're actually trying, in my estimation, that's what that was about. They were trying to rig elections because they want to actually encourage

more people to various states so that they get more representation in some of their blue estates from a census standpoint. That would be more representation in Congress. And then you have the reality that, you know, look, that's historic. We've never had 400 non-citizens vote in an election before. That's a pretty big deal. And then you've got to wonder, is there more where that came from? But AOC, now, you know, apparently leading contender to be president in the United States out there talking with, you know, reporters saying, you guys are crazy to think that comment. communism is actually ever going to come here. I think we're not that crazy to think about that. I really, I think that it's entirely possible, entirely possible that that could come about

if we're not really careful. If we don't guard our freedom, you heard my friend Kent Strain talking about this yesterday about how you've got to actually protect what you have. And in this case, it's this wonderful freedom and that's got to get protected. I want to go to Ted Cruz, who has an interesting prediction on what's going to happen. Let's listen. Writing back, a coalition of landlords has filed to a lawsuit looking to overturn the city's newly approved two-year rent freeze on roughly one million rent-stabilized apartments. They argue that Mayor Zohran Mamdani improperly influenced the rent guidelines board to deliver on a campaign promise. Let's bring in now, Randy Mastro, attorney for the landlord suing

Mayor Mamdani. Welcome to you, sir. Good to have you here. Pleasure to be here. So what's the case the landlords are making? Well, it's a simple proposition. An independent board statutorily required to weigh all the evidence and fairly consider the data. Instead, perverted a process at the mayor's behest to deliver on his campaign promise. This was a sham process to deliver a predetermined outcome. that the mayor directed by Fiat. That is blatantly illegal.

And the ramifications of it are profound. More than a million New Yorkers live in rent-stabilized apartments. That's thousands of landlords. Many of them struggling to survive because we are living in a period of inflation rising, the costs of landlords soaring taxes, utilities, insurance. Yet somehow this board, under the mayor's, influence came to the conclusion that zero rent increase was warranted, not supported by the

data. Board did not properly consider the statutory criteria, and we believe it will be found to be illegal. And don't just take my word for it. A longtime board member quit the morning of the vote. Wow. So that obviously was not Ted Cruz. We're going to get to Ted in just a moment, but that was the attorney for landlords that are suing the city and suing the mayor because he decided he'd put in this rent freeze. Again, calm, come me, calm me, okay? Like, this is what they do, okay? And it's effectively a giant power grab and a giant money grab. And I don't know if you can actually do that because legally speaking, if you own the property and you agree to rent it out to someone, then that's a transaction between the landlord and the person. that's renting. So, you know, a rent freeze on stabilized units, you know, I know historically it has been allowed in New York City, but now you're talking about it getting challenged in ways that I think is really important right now, really, really important. And, you know, you just have to deal with the reality that if you continue down this path, guys, if you continue

down this path and you try and set everything, you set everything in stone, we're going to fix prices here, we're going to have free buses and we're going to have free grocery stores and free this and free that, you're not going to be left with anything. You really aren't. I mean, who the heck would build a new apartment building in New York City right now if they're going to go out there and freeze rents? I mean, nobody would. And so this is just the reality of economics, of which he clearly does not, does not understand. But the concerning thing, right, is how all of these people are gaining traction, that you've got AOC, for example, gaining ground. And it's not just going to be AOC, Zohan Mamdami, according to Ted Cruz is going on to bigger and better things as well.

Listen. I think she'll run for president. I don't think she will run for Senate, but I'm going to make a prediction for you, Sean. My prediction is, Comrade Mondami will be the next Democrat senator from New York, that Mondami will replace Schumer. I think Mondami is the single most powerful Democrat in the country. And I got to say, by the way, there are some Republicans that are celebrating. great. Our opponents are crazy. That's going to help us. I want to say, for the record, I'm not celebrating.

I think this is bad for the country. I think this is unhealthy. I want to see two normal parties that are not filled with crazy people who can actually do something reasonable and who actually love the country. Okay, if a Democrat likes some higher taxes and higher regulations, I don't like that. But could we start with the premise that you love America? Right. He really is. I mean, that's the danger part of this equation. And although some people want to poo it and AOC says, oh, there's no way that we could become communist, I'm just going to remind you what they're pushing for, to get rid of the Senate, to actually stack the court. By the way, it's not just the Democrat Socialist of America that have pushed for stacking the

court. You've got Chuck Schumer that's actually called for this kind of thing as well. I mean, you've got a real sort of crazy town taking over. And I look at the most recent example in modern history, and that would be Venezuela, because I've told you before, back in the year 2019, 1999, I had just started my job at Goldman Sachs, and I was trading Venezuelan debt, sovereign debt. And that was right around the time that Uw Chavez had come into power. And we're like, ah, you know, how bad is this going to get? I mean, I don't think we thought, we definitely did not think.

that it was going to get as bad as it got because Venezuela went from being the highest standard of living in all Latin America to complete utter poverty within the span of 20 years. All right. So that, it can happen, guys. Like, I don't, I don't mean to be overly alarmist, but for anybody to kind of laugh it off and say, that's not going to happen, Mamdami, whatever, he got elected in New York City, okay? He got elected. You've got his backup singers, his band, they're all getting elected, you know, replay. long time. Look at Goldman, right? He's out. There is a representative, a Democrat representative, in New York, and he's been replaced by somebody who thinks it's America's problem that we had 9-11.

It was America's fault. And you've got all of these people that are going on Hassan Piker's podcast, Hassan Piker, who has a picture of the Twin Towers blowing up on fire the day after September 12th. He's got that framed behind him. I mean, these are really sick, twisted. individuals and the idea that now they're infiltrating New York politics, they have infiltrated. I think that's the best word to use for this right now. And so think about all the foreign actors and the foreign money that's being placed on bots, right, to try and get this information out there to the young people and to kind of get them all ginned up and excited about it.

It is an orchestrated campaign. And you have these people like Mamdami that have a certain vetted interest. They want to do, I think, us a lot of harm. And I don't know how you can contest that because you can't look me straight in the eye and tell me that communism is ever going to be a good thing for America. It's not. It's absolutely not. You know what is good?
