Oh, we're talking about Mamdami again because this is a guy who's gotten himself somehow in a lot of trouble. I mean, you got everyone now coming out in spades against Mr. Comrade Mamdami. They're the mayor of New York City, in part because he thought it was okay to have a staff member contact Iran to set up a meeting. Like, while we're in the middle of all this. Like, that makes any sense at all. So now he's got, hmm, not.

just the GOP stacked against him, but he's got almighty Letitia James. That's about to get interesting, right? Welcome to the program, everyone. I'm just drinking. Make sure you subscribe, share, like, all that good stuff. Congress has been introducing a bill. Meanwhile, to deport Mamdami for good. We're going to talk about that because that might have some legs.

It goes back to a 1952 law. We haven't used it in a while. A lot of people are speculating just exactly what the president is going to be doing on Thursday when he talks about something. It's expected to be something about the interference in our political system by way of other countries, namely Russia, Iran, and China. And so the expectation is going to divulge more on that. We have more on that coming up in the program.

But one has to think about that in conjunction with what people are saying about Mr. Zohran Mamdami right about now. the communist from Uganda that just became a citizen like, what, seven years ago? So, Letitia James, I mean, like this is how bad it is, guys, okay? Leticia James is turning on one Zoran Memdami because apparently she didn't appreciate the backup singers, winning, winning, winning in New York. Why? Because, oh, I see, he's taken over the Democrat Party right under her nose.

So that's not so great for Letitia. I mean, I would argue in some ways it's probably just fine for Republicans because when Bush comes to shove, you think Americans are going to elect him? You think Americans are going to elect his backup singers? You think Americans are going to keep electing the Ilhan Omar's and Rashida-Selie. The only way that happens, guys, I hate to tell you, is if we keep importing everybody into this country that can't get a job and is living high off of Uncle Sam. That's the only way you're going to envision this scenario where the Mamdamis, the Ilhan Omar's,

oh, forgive me, it's not just Uncle Sam. I mean, they're living really high off of Uncle Sam, shall we say, in the state of Minnesota, $19 billion of taxpayer money later, yet very, very high. Unbelievable stuff. Anyway, Leticia has now turned on Mamdami. I want to quote what she said following the election of those three. I like to call them the backup singers. They all believe that America has somehow responsible.

responsible for 9-11. They all believe in DEI City. They all believe in communism, socialism. The government should get all of your money and they're going to redistribute it as they see fit. Yeah. So the backup singers that won those elections were not necessarily in Latisha James's bingo card. She spoke to CNN and they write, Mamdami may have also done damage with some key black and Latino leaders, one particularly a notable critic of his endorsements in those primaries that we just saw a couple of weeks ago would be New York Attorney General Letitia James, a key backer during his campaign. And I quote, some of the candidates that he has supported, those are the backup singers,

are individuals who do not understand the politics in New York City, the cultural differences from district to district. Well, clearly, I mean, they got rid of the whole little Italy, the whole Jewish community, the whole Irish community. I mean, that's Mamdami's doing, right? They get little Palestine, little Pakistan, but no little Italy. She says he doesn't understand. These people do not understand the cultural differences from district to district

who have not been part of the history and the struggle of some of these districts and are relatively new to the body politic. This is James speaking with CNN, pointing to what she saw as Mamdami's lack of understanding of race and class issues that run so deep. Hmm, you think, you think, you think. I think so too, because I'm just looking at what they did with the maps recently. Did you guys follow that story? This is Mamdami, okay?

Mamdami thinks it's cool to just get rid of Little Italy. He's replacing Little Italy, you see, with, oh, let's take a look. What have we got here? We got Little Africa. We got a little Bangladesh. Little Caribbean, little Columbia, little Dominican. You can see how even Letitia's like, okay, buddy boy, you've gone too far now. Take a look at this.

Yeah, all of these places, little Egypt, little Guyana, little Haiti, little Manila, little Pakistan, little Senegal, little Yemen. I mean, you get the picture, right? So he doesn't really like the traditional New Yorker. and some traditional, Yorkers might be a little offended by that. So it's going to be a problem for Letitia James and her crowd. It's going to be a problem for Kathy Hokel, too. She's friends with them now, but you just watch, guys.

She's going to be out too. He's going to turn on all of them. And so the Democrat Party has what I would call a big old-fashioned, oops, you know, that was almost meant to be. Problem on its hands. Quote from James, all of us are a little frustrated with the Democrat Party, but you don't blow it up. That's what MAGA has done.

Oh, yeah, I guess. we have blown up your party, right? Because what are you going to stand for when you can't stand for anything? Because Donald Trump has taken every single issue you possibly ever dreamed of. I mean, there used to be a time when you guys were very much against open borders. Now you're all for it. You guys actually used to represent the quote, working class of America. Now you don't. You seem to only represent the people who just got here yesterday who are looking for a handout. And I'm talking not just a little handout. We're talking big handouts, right? Like the kind that you get if you're a daycare provider in Minnesota or a feeding our future recipient on the Ilhan Dole there in Minnesota. Wow. Okay,

so things are changing fast. They don't have anywhere to go. And so now they're resorting to socialism, communism. And you know what? It's going to be a problem. It's going to be a problem for the party, as Letitia is now recognizing. And it's going to be a problem for Mr. Mamdami, because you now have Andy Ogles out of Tennessee, and you got Chip Roy, of Texas and you got more. You got congressman out of Florida. I mean, everybody's jumping on this bandwagon saying, why do we have this guy here? Why do we have any of these people here considering they don't seem to have American interests at heart? And as I said earlier, we got some ability, dare I say, courtesy of a 1952 law. But New York Attorney General

Leticia James is striking a different tone saying, quote, some of the candidates that he has supported or individuals who do not understand the politics of New York City. All of us are a little frustrated with the Democratic Party, but you don't blow it up. Yeah, we're just talking about that. He's blown it up, okay? It started with the squad and it progressed to Mamdami. Now, one of the reasons it's getting blown up is because they don't have any wiggle room. They've been boxed into a corner.

all they stood for was being anti-Trump. They have TDS on steroids. So when you have TDS, you can't actually see the forest for the trees. When you have TDS, you don't actually understand right from wrong. When you have TDS, you don't know what day it is. You don't know what gender you are. You don't know whether it's day or night or sunny or cloudy. All you know is that you have to stand for something that Donald Trump doesn't stand for.

Which means if he is for going into Ukraine. I mean, he hasn't really been, but let's just, let's go on the hypothetical. All of a sudden, you're going to be anti-Ukraine. If he is all four open borders, then they would be all of a sudden for a border crackdown. You see, but the problem for them is that he's stolen all the good stuff, which is why you have union members in New York City now saying, we can't support Mamdami, we can't support the Democrats anymore, we're not going to vote Democrat because we don't recognize what this Democrat

Party is. Meanwhile, you get people looking to actually deport, export, Mamdami and others like him. Representative Chip Roy introducing what he calls, huh, aptly named the Mamdami Act, okay, Mamdami Act to denaturalize and deport Marxists and Islamic fundamentalists. We talked about this yesterday. It is gaining steam as we speak, gaining steam in part because there's a lot of speculation about what's coming Thursday from the President of the United States. He's having a primetime address Thursday at 9 p.m. And he said it's going to be a biggie. A lot of information, a lot of speculation that it's going to be about foreign interference. So if you're worried about this foreign interference and we have one big old open immigration

system, come one, come all, maybe it's time to rethink some of this. He's got the Mamdami Act because he's saying, why do we continue to import people who hate us, not just for the last six years, but for the last 60 years, immigration system has been cynically used to disadvantage American workers' competitiveness in favor of mass importation of the third world. And he doesn't want the third world. Of course, you know, the mainstream media is all upset about that. But I'll say, you know, when you consider what Mamdami is being accused of right now, and it's not just an accusation. I mean, he's come out and admitted to it. The State Department had to interfere. The State Department had to say, no, you know, you can't do that, Mamdami. You can't. You can't

can't have a meeting, your staff cannot have a meeting with the Iranian ambassador to the UN. Like that is kind of a big old no no. Like that is, I mean, it's raising a lot of eyebrows right now and it's raising a lot of concerns and now you have more and more people saying, you know what, we knew this guy was no good. We didn't trust him. So why do we have him here in the first place? Why do you have a guy like this here? And it's a fair question. It is a question. I want to give you a more official report. Actually, we can go to... The Hulu original series Furious is coming to Disney Plus.

My friends over at Fox News, my former employer, because they did a good sort of look at this in their most recent show, and I'd like to show it to you. We didn't have a chance to look at this yesterday, but it's rather informative, and I think you should hear it, because Mamdami is bad

news. If this is what we think it is, you now have the ambassador of the UN, Mike Waltz, calling it out. You have Chip Roy calling for his deportation, and I suspect that this is going to gather more steam. More steam ahead. Here we go to the Fox report. detailing all of this. I'll tell you, he's getting boxed in. A planned, now squelched meeting between a senior official for New York City's mayors, Oran Mamdani, and Iran's ambassador to the United Nations. The State Department now says it stepped in to cancel that meeting. C.B. Cotton is live in New York City with Wool. Just think about that, guys. They had to step into cancel. You have Marco. You see the picture of

Marco on the top? I mean, Marco was like, yeah, this is not happening. They had to actually step in say New York City mayor, Comrade Mamdami, you can't be meeting with the country we're at frickin' war with. I mean, like, how dense does he have to be? Oh, and he says he didn't really know. He didn't really know. It was just his staffer, but then he didn't do anything about the staffer. He didn't fire her. She's still on the payroll collecting New York City tax dollars. What is going on? CB. Hey, John, so after the State Department reportedly stepped in to clarify acceptable conduct, We're told that it was Mayor Mamdani, who ultimately called off the meeting between his commissioner for international affairs, Anna Maria Archela, and Iran's UN ambassador, Amir Saeed Irivani. Archela was reportedly reprimanded for the move, but the fact that the meeting was even considered continues to raise eyebrows, including from U.S. ambassador, Mike Walts, who reacted today on Sunday morning futures.

It would have been a huge propaganda victory for the Ayatollah in the middle of a country. conflict as they're not only shooting at Americans, but they're shooting at global shipping. And we're doing everything we can to keep them internationally isolated. It's outrageous and we shut it down. So Mamdani, when addressing the controversy this week, said he didn't know about the meeting in advance. He also said it was the Iranian ambassador who requested the meeting and that his team is now working on new protocols. The commissioner recognizes that this was made an error and we're working on a new process in terms of new meeting requests. Again, this was a request that came into the office, not one that originated from the office. Okay, so the timing of the attempted

meeting comes when President Trump has repeatedly said he is number one on Iran's quote kill list, and Israel recently shared intelligence with Trump about an Iranian plot to assassinate him, according to a Wall Street Journal report. John. All right, CB Cotton, thank you. Okay, so Think about that. You have a threat against the President of the United States. We are in, for lack of a better term. I mean, you can call it an excursion, you can call it a war, I don't care, but we're lobbing drones into Iran right now. And you have Mamdami staff setting up a meeting and he says, oopsie daisy, I missed that one. Oh, she's been reprimanded. That won't happen again. No, no, no. It's not that simple, okay, because you have now presented yourself as a real threat against the

United States of America. So people have kind of had it up to here. People are very sensitive. Like at a time like this, you ought to know better. I want to go to Representative Fine. He joins the team, okay? So you got Ogles out of Tennessee. You got Roy, Chip Roy out of Texas, and you got Representative Fine who's got no use for this dude, no use for Comrade, Mamdoll. Tommy, he's out of Florida. Let me go to him right here because he was appearing with another one of my colleagues. My gosh, I know everyone, it seems. Or I've just worked in many places.

It's kind of nice to be over here. Finally, hallelujah, right? And let me go to Eric Bowling. My friend Eric interviewed Representative Fine. Let's play this clip for you. I think he hates America. I mean, keep in mind, this is not a real American. This is a guy who came to our country from Uganda, supporting Islamic terror, did not

disclose it when he turned in his paperwork to become a citizen five minutes ago. And again, is one of these people who wanders around saying he's just as an American as you and me. No, he came to hurt this country. And so you can see it. He hates Little Italy. He hates the people who made America what it is. He wants to celebrate all the illegals who were here in this country, because again, people like him do not believe in the idea of Americans. And why does he want to meet at the UN on quote unquote international territory with Iran because he wants to work with Iran to hurt the United States. The guy is a clear and present danger to the United States. He should be denaturalized for having lied in his paperwork to become an American and he should be shipped

home to Uganda where he belongs. Okay, that's actually an important point that he brought up. And we talked about the paperwork, paperwork that I have in front of me. And I want to get into that in greater detail because again, if you go back to 1952, there is a law in the books that would enable the U.S. government to deport someone like this because I don't think it was completely truthful. I mean, hey, look, you're born an American citizen, you want to be a, you want to be a communist, so be it. Fine. You know what? You have your freedom of speech. But we're not importing communists, thank you very much. We're not actually like, wha-hoo, anybody out there, a communist that wants to come to America? That doesn't happen.

Okay, and we have the right to deport you if you lie on your application. You don't tell us what really are. And so he's working with the bad guys. And so we have the right to deport him. And this is what so many members of Congress now are doubling down on. Here is Chip Roy out of Texas talking about why we need to get rid of people like Mamdami, why he's got the Mamdami Act to begin with. Under our existing law, we make sure that we're able to reject people from coming into our country or denaturalize them if they are affiliated with the Communist Party. A 1952 Supreme Court opinion upheld that law. What we're doing is expanding upon and building upon that law to make it easier for us to ensure that we can protect the sovereignty and the values and the culture of our

country and to make sure we're defending our country from those who wish to undermine it. There are people that are advancing a political ideology in the name of Islam that is designed to wage jihad in their own words against the West. If you look at the Muslim Brotherhood's 1991 memorandum, if you look at the actions of care, if you look at then organizations, not a not affiliated with Islam, but like Antifa and other entities, people that are spreading Marxism. When we have people that we invite to our country, I believe that there ought to be limits to that, and we ought to be able to turn them away or, in fact, remove them when they come to our country and undermine our Western values, when they attack our civilization, when they are advancing

an ideology that we know has resulted in the deaths of millions of people and that have undermined the prosperity of people around the globe. I believe that we are a Christian nation built on Judeo-Christian principles, and that Western civilization has done more for humanity than any other system in the world. Yeah. So one of the distinction I do want to emphasize, and I'm looking at the chat here in real time, and the last boy scout says,

okay, I'm communist now. Am I going to be deported? No. Not if you were born here, okay? Not if you came here and actually didn't have communist principles. But let's not forget, by the time Mamdami had filled out his application, he had already been doing a bunch of rap videos

because, oh, this guy has multi-talented, numerous careers. finally wound up with politician. Did he do a big audition like AOC did with 10,000 applicants for them to come up with him? Might have. In all seriousness, I mean, this is getting kind of crazy. So the difference, the last Boy Scout, between you and him, I believe, is that you were born here. Now, even if you came here and you decided you wanted to be a communist after the fact, fine. But you don't come here as a communist, or is somebody who supports groups that are known enemies, terror organizations like Hamas or Hezbollah. You don't be doing rap lyrics like this guy, Kamrammdami did, for Hamas. I mean, it's pretty darn simple. And you know what? If we have to, we can go right back to this.

It's called the 1952 McWorren-Walter Act. Remember this. The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, and we get a lot on the screen, but bottom line here, thanks to Section 212, it makes inadmissible anybody who supports communism, okay, or any totalitarian party. The Communist Political Association, any communist or totalitarian party, okay, of a foreign state, it also bars anyone who advocates for, teaches, or rights in support of communism, a totalitarian dictatorship of the violent, overthrow of the U.S. government. Gosh darn it. I don't think I played this for you.

Maybe we'll do it later in the week. All the socialists going kind of crazy saying that they want to overthrow the U.S. government. Yeah, that's the latest and greatest from these people. I mean, they're not messing around. They're actually quite crazy. And when you're importing people like Mamdami to help lead them, well, then that's a problem. And so I suspect, I suspect you're going to have an opportunity.

to maybe put this 1952 thing into existence. Deportation. Here's where this comes up. Similar grounds apply for removing aliens already in the U.S. who fall into these categories. So, Mamdami, did you check it off? I don't think so. Application for naturalization,

Department of Homeland Security, U.S. citizen and immigration services form N-400. And there's a whole bunch of questions on here. It's quite detailed. In fact, it's like 14 pages. long. And you have to have said, I'm looking at it here, it's in my hands, you give information about your residence, information about your marital history, oops, Daisy, that would be a problem for one Ilhan Omar, allegedly, according to 1J Vans and the administration, a lot about your

marital history, information about your employment schools you attended, and then you see there's a section that's called Part 9, additional information about you. It includes the word ever, all in capital letters. It says, can you guys see this? You probably can't. Anyway, it says, have you ever, ever done this, ever done that, ever been associated with that, ever been you must provide information about any of your actions or conduct that occurred anywhere in the world at any time unless the question specifies otherwise? If you answer yes to any the questions in items number 1 through 14 in part 9, provide explanations and any additional information in the space provided, and I don't believe he did. Memdami was out praising Hamas in

his rap videos. Mamdami was a member of a political group sponsored by the likes of China. Neville Singman, somebody who is very wanted for questioning by the entire House of Representatives, and the Senate, and yet he keeps avoiding, won't come back to the United States of America. His wife is the founder of Code Pink. They do a lot of anti-American stuff. In fact, they just brought a whole bunch of people, including Ilhan Omar's daughter, down to Cuba recently, along with that streamer that none of us ever watched, but somehow I wind up playing you sound bites because I see things,

and I'm like, you've got to hear this, Hassan Piker. Ooh, that's a name. Okay, anyway, have you ever been a member of or involved in, or in any way associated with any communist or totalitarian party in the world. That's question 5A, okay, right here on page 6 of 14. Have you ever advocated, supported or promoted any of the following, or been a member of involved in or any way associated with any group anywhere in the world that advocated any of the following opposition to organized government?

World communism. The establishment in the United States of a totalitarian dictatorship, the overthrow of force or violence or other unconstitutional means of the government of the United States are all forms of law. By the way, has anybody looked at his dad? His dad? The anti-colonialist professor from Columbia University? I don't think his dad ever got to be a U.S. citizen, right? I don't think he filled this out, truthfully. And that's going to be a big deal. A very, very big deal because right now the GOP is in charge. I mean, they're still in charge. Right now, they're still in charge. The GOP is sounding the alarm on the Mamdommies of the world and the mini

mamdommies of the world because if you're not filling out your application correctly, if you're really a communist and you came here, I'm sorry. It's game over. We can deport you in 1952 law. Let's go to now the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. There's a small number of times in the history of America where the actual experiment in self-governance was on the ballot, the idea that we would preserve a constitutional republic, one nation under God, a government of buying for the people, all that is in question right now. For the first time, really, in my lifetime, this is a real question the American people have to decide in November, in a midterm election for Congress and Senate. It's not something that we would have projected. I hoped

and prayed it would never come. to this, but here we are. The barbarians are in the gate. Last night I did a little, we had a big group actually of VIPs that took a little on a tour. I don't get to do that very often anymore, but took a tour of the Capitol, a quick one. We wound up on the house floor, and I pointed to them, as you may have heard me reference this often, I think of it a lot. Why did Congress put in God we trust above the roster of the speaker's podium there in the center of the house? It's inscribed in the marvel, as you know, you can't miss it. It's, it when you walk in the chamber. It's the first thing people notice when they walk in at

eye level and see it there. And I pointed out that in the Visitor's Guide to the House, it explains that. It says it was put there in 1962, and it says in the Visitor's Guide, that's been published for many years, it said Congress voted to place that there as a rebuke to the Soviets because of their philosophy during the Cold War. What was the philosophy of the Soviets? It's what Carlos just outlined, same philosophy of Cuba. The brutal dictator there that robbed him of his childhood and so many countless. Look, it always winds up as a brutal dictatorship. You go around the world.

Every single time this happens, I mean, you can even go back to the French Revolution, right? Everybody had the right intention. And yet, look what happened. Ultimately, you had the quote-unquote elites who were really the revolutionaries who came in charge of the system. And then in order to protect liberty in the face of that became fascists, effectively, or totalitarian, whatever, you know, at some point they meet, right? I mean, that is not okay.

And let me be cautious the way I phrase this, because, again, back to the last Boy Scout saying in the commentary, hey, if I'm communist now, does that mean I'm suddenly at risk? No. But we're not, that's one thing. You're here, you're an American citizen, you get freedom of speech, fine. But what are we doing deliberately importing people that don't agree with our way of life, especially when we have laws on the books to not do that, especially when we have forms that they're filling out or supposed to be filling out where we ask these very questions.

We ask them. And then we, they don't answer truthfully and we bring them in any way. They become the mayor of New York and try and take over our entire political system and then start having meetings with Iran in the middle of a war with Iran. Like, who! It's wild. My name is Peter Parker, but I'm also Spider-Man.

This July, we're faced with a threat. That can be anyone. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker. I'm just a neighbor, friendly neighbor. But he hasn't forgotten them. Sometimes Spider-Man has to do the hard thing. That's my responsibility. Talk to Banner?

I didn't know you could get that big. Spider-Man, brand-new day. in theaters July 31st. Andy Ogles, he said we need to deport Mamdami. He's anti-Semitic. He's socialist. He's communist. He wants to destroy the great city of New York.

I mean, New York, I think, you know, he's one term. He's going to be done. He's going to be done because I'm sorry. Like, none of the voters like him very much in New York. And I think he just lost a whole lot of people, dare I say, when he decided to just veto all of Little Italy, when he decided to just decide that certain groups of people, were irrelevant and not worth celebrating to wipe them, literally wipe them off the map. I mean, think about how egregious that is.

So, so wild. I want to show you what some of the Italians are saying. I'm going to play you this because we took a look at this in my shorts feed recently. Here is, again, the map of Little Italy, okay? Little Italy does not exist right now because Mamdami has decided, well, of course it exists. but Mamdami has decided, do-do with a magic, you know, wand. He's just going to make it go away because he would rather have all of these immigrant enclaves that he can celebrate. Let's see. Again, little Africa. We've got little Caribbean, little Ecuador.

By the way, these are tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny populations. And yet this is what he wants to celebrate. And this has a lot of people, Matt, but it's very symbolic. It's really symbolic of everything that he is trying to do because he doesn't like, you see, the Irish. He doesn't like the Jews. I mean, he's made that really clear. He does not like the Italians. They don't qualify to him as immigrants. They really don't. And I got to tell you, the free press, you know, that's Barry Weiss's publication. She had somebody, one of the reporters out there from the free press just decided to take the streets. And I love this. I want to show it to you and play this for you. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and play this for you because it was just terrific. She went out there and she talked to all of these

people and she said, you know, what do you think about this? And let's just say, the Italians are not having it, nor the Jews, nor the Irish, nor is anybody because people, you know what, they don't appreciate the newcomer in here from Uganda who just became a citizen yesterday. Well, seven years ago, but that's basically yesterday. They don't appreciate him taking over and saying this is how it's going to go from now on. So again, I just want to point out we did do this in the shorts feed. pretty sure we have it. Do we do we do we? Um, because I, I do want to play it for you. It's just wild to me that this happened. Here we go. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Live show guys. Live show. So bear with me. Wala.

Mayor Mondami, I give you a year. You are not a New Yorker. You have no clue. I'm Isabella Reggie. And today we are here in Little Italy asking the locals, how they feel about one of the oldest immigrant communities, Little Italy, not being included on Mayor Mamdani's immigrant enclave map. I don't consider you to be my mayor. I think it's disgraceful for what he's doing. He's got to be fair to everybody, and he's not fair to everybody. He's not fair to the Jewish people,

which he makes everybody notice he's not fair to the Jewish people, he's not fair to the Irish people, and now he hates the Italians. For what reason? What do we do them that he should aid us? They always sort of pushed us to the side, I got it. In other words, little Italy, they take care of their own problems, and we're always pushed aside. And I think it's about time that we have to be firm about this.

Otherwise, we'll totally be forgotten. If you understand what took place here over 100 years ago, between 1880 and 1920 when the mass migration of Italian immigrants first came, this was the stepping stone for the Italians. Or the Bari family came here 120 years ago from Sicily. They were immigrants. They landed down in what's known as the Five Points. Grandma started the San Genoa Festival. That right up there.

That is grandma. That is grandma. Grandma from the Barrie family. Okay, she is a heart and soul of this neighborhood. My grandfather was on the Society of San Gennaro, which happens to be this year, a hundred years. So it means a lot to me little, little, you know? There's no such thing that's left or right down here. Both sides of the street are beautiful. And what makes New York City such a special place is a collage of many different cultures. Except he's trying to wipe out the one culture, well, a few cultures that he considers no longer immigrant. I bet you a lot of those people. Like, look, I still consider myself Irish American, right?

We've been here hundreds of years, but I'm still very much identifying with my Irish roots. And, you know, it's one of the proud things we can all be American, but have something else. The problem in today's society is all of these people come from Timbuktu, and then they come to their communities, they speak their languages, they don't assimilate. In some cases, like in Minnesota, they're blindly stealing from us. I mean, talking about not getting with the American program. They're still pirates, apparently. And they're never adhering to, you know, what it is to be American. So you can be your other culture, but you're always American first, right?

And that's not what we're seeing. And he is really just trying to wipe them all out. Like the Italian doesn't count. The Irish don't count. The Jews don't count. Nobody counts except for all of these groups that, well, he would probably say, are of darker complexion. That's all that counts.

So you know what? this is why it's not going to work. Because all of these people, you know what, they're American first and you, whatever, you get all these people that maybe, maybe Ken cannot vote. Who knows? You know, if the left gets their way, they'll be voting, right? They tried that, 800,000 non-citizens. They wanted to vote in New York.

And that got struck down in the second appellate court, thank goodness. But, you know, you're only going to have the law on your side for so long because these people, they want to change the entire law. They want to stack the court. They're willing to do all of this crazy, crazy stuff. And you know what? We're going to be left with nothing. You look at New York City right now. What are you got? More crime. More inflation. Rents went up. Whatever happened to rent control that he was going to like freeze the rents. Well, guess what? They're way up. Apparently the free grocery stores, they aren't really working for you, Mam Dami. I am directing today the floor.

Forgive me, this is Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, who has also made this his cause. So you got numerous representatives there in Congress, along with a number of governors, including DeSantis. He's like, you know what? We're going to get rid of the H-1B visas. We're taking a step further. I'm going to get to that in just a second. But first, quick shout out from one of our great sponsors here on the Trish Regan. This is a wonderful product.

They actually sent me one, and I'm looking for a friend that may be. me as hard of hearing because this is like the coolest thing. And I mean, if I don't have this issue, thank goodness, if I did, this would be exactly where I go because, you know, these things are so tiny. They're so small. They look like, they almost look like, here you'll see them. They look like Apple, you know, the earpieces that you put in for your iPod. I'm dating myself, your iPhone. It's really, really neat. They make this company called Audien and they make over-the-counter are hearing aids that are simple, they're discreet. They're really affordable. Ninety-eight bucks a pair, you guys. So if you know anyone, if you know anyone that is hard of hearing, they're just so

discreet. You can barely even see them. It's fantastic. And, you know, nobody, nobody should be forced to be saying, wait, what, what, what, what, what? I mean, again, I really value my hearing. Actually, have excellent hearing. It's part because of all those years in music, I think. But it's something that I really value. I can't imagine not being able to hear and really participate in life, right? So we need to get rid of the stigma. There needs to be no stigma around this. Anybody you know that's hard of hearing, please recommend them this. You actually get an additional discount if you use code word Regan, R-E-G-A-N. Audion is focused not on just reducing costs, but really removing the stigma around this. And there's no stigma here. You can barely see these.

They look like, you know, something you'd have on anyway. Sleak, sleek, in ear. design, more like headphones than hearing aids. Go check them out. Audionhearing.com. Use code Regan at checkout for a special discount. Again, it's Audionhearing.com. Code Regan for that special discount. I'll tell you, boy, you know what, people have had it. The governor of Florida has had it. The governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, you know him well. He's coming out swinging, saying, you know what? Enough is enough is enough. We are going after the H-1B visas. We do not want people coming here that may have redempties. different trajectory in part because for goodness sakes, nobody's actually doing their job in terms of

vetting people. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have had Mamdami here in the first place, right? So if you're not vetting them, we're not going to take that chance. We're not going to bring people here on H-1B visas to be educated in the Florida state school system. We want Florida kids, and at least American kids. Watch. I am directing today the Florida Board of Governors to pull the plug on the use of these H-1B visas. And are you, universities. We can do it with our residents in Florida or with Americans. And if we can't do it, then, man, we need to really look deeply about what is going on with this situation. Wow. So you've got a warning from Speaker Johnson of this communist takeover. You've got lots of

examples of a failed society in New York City under Mamdami right now, coupled with his staff trying to get a meeting with Iran. Okay. So you can understand why the Florida governor doesn't want Florida taxpayer dollars and resources going to people that are immigrating from Uganda, say, with criminal, forgive me, communist principles at their core. And this got really exposed in the DEI hearings. It just totally imploded on Capitol Hill today.

Our friend Brandon Gill was hard at work, as usual. I want to play you some clips from these insane hearings. Watch. Under DEI regimes, what races do colleges and universities typically least prefer in their admissions processes? White, men, Asians. Men is not a race, obviously. But there actually might be a little bit of reverse discrimination actually going against women now because women so predominate on universities. But yes, whites and Asians primarily. Why do you think that it's primarily those groups?

Because they're in a war with the reality of these disparities. So if you want to have a quota that comes out perfectly, racially balanced at the end, the only way that these universities have been able to achieve that is by discriminating on the basis of race and sex in their admissions. Yeah. So, you know, tough luck if you're a white male right now. and then I guess next on the list is the white female because we get enough of you. It's like Mamdami saying, hey, we don't need little Italy anymore. We're going to go with Little Palestine in New York City.

We are going to wipe you off the map. This is what has been going on at universities for far too long. Harvard had to pay the price. Harvard's case went all the way of the Supreme Court. And what did the Supreme Court decide? Yeah, you can't actually discriminate. against anyone based on race. Surprise, surprise.

And they are taking this in a very hard way, as we saw in these hearings today. They think somehow by saying, you know, we're going to leave room for Tom Dick and Harry from a particular neighborhood, that that's more equitable than saying, hey, we're going to actually leave room for the kids that are the most qualified students with the best grades and the best recommendations and the best SAT scores. because we are a meritocracy. We're not a communist system. So listen to this one.

I mean, this got wild, bonkers. These people are really, I mean, they're becoming dangerous. And I say this as someone who, I mean, just to be really clear, don't get me wrong. Like, I guarantee you there's probably still pockets of society, right? Like, I don't want to be Pollyanna about this, where you have racism and discrimination, et cetera. But for the most part, you know what? in the real world, if you work hard and you're good at your job, you're going to be rewarded for that in the United States of America. Maybe not in Bangladesh, maybe not in Uganda, but guess what? Or

Somalia. Here, in the United States of America, we actually are pretty darn unfair. I think it's probably the fairest country in the world, and yet they want to change it and make it unfair. And they're still doubling down on this despite what the Supreme Court has already ruled. Watch. Diverse workforce and admissions to medical schools creates a big, better system for this country. Thank you. Really? Okay.

So this guy is trying to argue that you need more diversity in medical schools. I'd actually argue that you just want the best possible doctors you could possibly get, okay? I'm sorry, but if you're waiting to medical school to actually change society and perfect it however you see fit, it's way too late. You got to fix it early on, okay? Go back to the family, go back to school, go back to the community, go back to the church, go back to the church, do not wait until medical school. Because then you do realize, you do realize

that you're actually putting in harm's way anybody else who comes along one of those doctors who only got in because of DEI, who only got passed through the system because of DEI, you're hurting the actual patient that they may be working on, including somebody of their color. So this is ridiculous stuff. I told you the example of the, I love this one. of the orchestra, right? The New York Philharmonic and all the libs are going crazy because the New York Philharmonic is still one of the few where you auditioned as a violinist right behind a screen. And the best violinist gets the gig. Whoever plays the most beautifully, the most in tune, etc. And you know why? They don't want to know what sex you are. They don't want to know what

color you are. They just want to know how well you play the violin. Meritocracy, thank you. That's what that is, meritocracy, because you know what, if you get somebody, because they happen to check off a few boxes and they can't play the violin in tune, they're going to take your whole orchestra down for goodness sake. So you guys are waiting way too long. Let me go back to his sound bite here because it gets even better. That answer and it does beg the question, do Republicans want black patients to die? What? Do we want women to die? Do we want trans kids to die? Because we know that a cultural competent education, that cultural competency and diversity in our education system, our medical system saves lives.

Okay, I told you as well. Actually, I got to listen to the whole thing. Because just let's go, let's think about the logic here, of which there is none. He's saying you have to have diverse medical schools. Okay, great. You know, diversity's wonderful. As long as everybody's qualified, but if they're not qualified and they can't pass the MCATs, and what the heck are they doing in medical school?

It's not actually going to make anybody more safe. You're actually going to jeopardize the very people that you're trying to help and save. Diverse workforce and admissions to medical schools creates a better, better system for this country. Thank you for that answer, and it does beg the question. Do Republicans want black patients to die? Do we want women to die? Do we want trans kids to die? Because we know that a cultural competent education, that cultural competency and diversity in our education system, our medical system saves lives.

Wow. Wow. Okay. So you wonder why the GOP is sending the alarm signal on the communist takeover right now. I mean, fortunately right now, that's not going to see the light of day, in part because of the Supreme Court. But it's important to understand the sentiment from which this is derived. And again, I'm just going to remind you, you got to attack these issues a whole lot earlier than when it comes to medical school. Or when it comes to the orchestral audition at the New York Phil, they're like, why aren't there more violinists that are black at the New York Phil? Okay, well, maybe it's because they're not playing the violin up in Harlem. Okay, maybe you guys need a better music program, you know, in certain communities or in Watts, or maybe you actually need the families to be staying together. God forbid I say that, right? Because it's hard raising kids.

And you actually want a little religion and a little church. And I don't care what color you are. You want it. You want it. You want it in your life. because it is hard raising a family. And so if the family stays together, those kids are going to have a better shot,

and maybe they'll make it to their violin lessons every Thursday with one of two parents that could take them. It's unbelievable. You can't fix it after the fact. This is what these lofty lawyers at fancy law schools have continued to try an engineer. We're going to fix it after the fact. You can't do it, okay?

It's got to start earlier on, period. But this is, you know, again, this goes back to the communism, This goes back to people who don't believe in fairness, people who don't believe in true meritocracy. And that's the Democrat Party right now. I mean, gosh darn it. This is a good one. Okay, so they're all for open borders. And I suspect that they have just been pushed to the edge because if I was looking this weekend at a bunch of old tape from Obama and Hillary and all of them, Chuck Schumer, they were like, we can't have open borders.

I mean, you go back to the 90s, you could have Diane Feinstein saying, we are not going to be. be Mexico's welfare system. All of this sounds exists, and I've played it for you at various times, including on the shorts feed. But I would just say, something has happened, something snapped. And what snapped was Donald Trump coming down the escalator back in 2016, announcing his candidacy and making it clear that he actually wanted to seal the border shut and that certain people should not be coming here because they had criminal pass, et cetera.

And that's when, like, they went, woo, and they all of a sudden decided to do something very, very different. And it's so different that now this guy who's campaigning, to be the next senator from Texas is so delusional that he's like, I think that the border fence is bad for business. Oh, that's a new one. Is it bad because you're not getting workers in, you know, for a much lower wage? Or is it bad because, oh, he thinks that the site, the ugly site of the border wall is a problem.

I got to play a phrase. This is unbelievable. A lot of our communities here in the Big Ben region depend on tourism. They depend on visitors from across Texas. people like me coming from Central Texas to get away and experience this natural beauty and people across the country who come and visit the parks. And I'm worried about what this senseless border wall would do to our tourism here in the region, what it would do to our local economies, that we should be supporting and growing and cultivating, not attacking with political, useless border walls. Political useless border walls. Well, you know what? It's not that useless because it's not that useless. It's taken a lot of time, a lot of effort, and it's worked.

It's kept a lot of people out. If you think about the millions and millions, 11 million, 18 million, I've seen estimates, it could have been 20 million, I don't know. Millions and millions and millions of people that came into this country under Joe Biden's tenure and Kamala Harris's tenure, millions of people pouring in, becoming drains on the economic systems of Texas and New York or wherever they wound up, you know, by the way, there was a method to the madness. They were trying to put them into states where they could then get higher census data, which would then mean they could get more Congress people that would be Democrats and therefore

help create more of a blue wash, a blue wash throughout the entire country. So, you know, don't kid yourself. There was a strategy there behind that because otherwise, why the heck would it exist? But Mr. Telerico, I hate to tell you, you know what, that border wall is actually helping business tremendously in Texas because now people are not as worried about people coming in and committing criminal acts, people being there that are drains on the system, they can't participate in the sort of regular economy. I mean, there's a lot of reasons why businesses actually welcome that border wall. So I'm not sure what he's talking about, Unless he's drinking some of the same Kool-Aid that a minority of people up in Maine are drinking.

Did you see what happened in Maine after the ICE situation, which is tragic and unfortunate there in Biddeford, Maine? But what's really tragic and unfortunate, too, is seeing these poor people out there carrying on. And this reminds me, what was that show? Is it crime stoppers or police? There was like some police show on years and years ago, where you would just see some really sad people out with an excuse to fight about anything. and this is what they're making it into. We had people rioting sort of in Maine, you know, banging down the offices of Susan Collins, screaming, vote her out.

And then there was this. I don't know what to do about it. You go right. You go to do it. You white supremacist his piece. I'm going to look at you. Look at you. Look at the mirror. Go take your food stand.

You're right. You're right. What is your problem? What is your problem? What is your problem? Okay, with innocent people being shot? There's so people in this point. I know that.

Our thanks to, too, I think that was actually a joint thing between the CBS local and the Fox local. So our thanks to both of them up there in Maine for that video, I think, thanks. I mean, what on earth? What on earth? What on earth? What on earth? So there's a lot of deranged people out there right now. And I think it's in part because the media has fed a certain narrative.

and they've encouraged this kind of insanity, and people have really interested. I mean, TDS is a real thing. I know it's funny to joke about, but it's really quite real. And it's concerning because this is the future of our country. And so whatever the president is about to reveal here on Thursday, I'm quite interested in, a lot of people think it's about intelligence. All right, the word on the street right now is Thursday is going to be a big deal because the president of the United States is going to reveal the attempt of

various foreign nations to interfere in our political process. I don't think that this should come as any great surprise. We've talked about this before. You've got China, you've got Iran, you've got Russia, all working in various ways. In terms of Russia, the word on the street, and by the way, this is per some intelligence reports, is that it actually was to favor President Trump. Obviously, the reverse with Iran. They would have loved to see Kamel in there, even better yet, Biden. And then you have places like China that apparently thought about doing something, decided not to. I don't know. They had TikTok for quite a while, didn't they? Oh, I could tell you stories about TikTok. I mean, it was really interesting what I can get through on TikTok. You're welcome to follow me over there in your spare time,

but it is not a main platform for me, only because you never know what's going to set them off. And I think that had a lot to do with China. dare I say. Much better over here on YouTube and of course on Spotify as well as Rumble, but I'm live right now on YouTube. Let's go to the President of the United States speaking moments ago in the Oval Office telling us get ready because there's some big stuff coming. Thursday is going to be a big watch.

It's really big news. It's really, really big news. And our country has to shape up. But what we're going to be talking about Thursday is it doesn't get bigger because without free and fair elections, you don't have a country. We'll be discussing other things, too. But it's going to be a very big announcement. Okay, big, big, big, big announcement.

So he's been a little bit cryptic there, but I can tell you, people believe that we're probably going to hear something about Russia. We're probably going to hear something about Iran. We're going to hear something about China. Again, as I explained to you, the thinking and some of the intelligence reporting that has already been declassified on. China was that they considered it, but they didn't actually intervene. I don't know about that. Because again, they had TikTok. Iran, the covert influence attempts to undermine Donald Trump

were quite, it's believed, to be significant and are probably still rather significant. Don't forget they have a powerful social media arm. This is a new kind of warfare, if you would. And then Russia, what did they do? What did they not do? He intends to expose a lot of. lot of this. And I anticipate he's also going to have more to say on Iran and where we're heading with that. Quick shout out to another one of our great sponsors on the show. You know, I hate eating peas. I like some vegetables. I do. I like Brussels sprouts. I like, which is an acquired taste. I get it. I like broccoli. I don't love fruit. Interestingly, I'm like, if I'm going to have some sweet, I want to like have a big chocolate Sunday. I don't want like a bunch of

strawberries. Thank you very much. That doesn't count of sugar. Anyway, I should have the strawberries because they are much healthier for you. And there are great things called phytonutrients in there. You need your phytonutrients. It's part of what gives food all those wonderful colors. And it's what balance of nature is able to harness for you in their product. You can take the fruits and veggies like I do and sprinkle it onto your food or put it into your tea. Any kind of drink, it gives it sort of a nice flavor, a nice sort of aromatic flavor to it.

And it gets you those phytonutrients that you sewed. need so you get the benefits, right, of all of those different fruits and veggies. And it's just a wonderful product. I love it. So many people take it. It's like everyone I talk to, I'm like, I advertise it on my show and I'm like, I don't know if we can get anybody taking it because everybody I know takes it in all seriousness. Go check it out. Balance and Nature.com 10% off there today, 10% off with code word Trish. Let's go back to the president. He's a great leader. I think he's going to be there for a long period of time. And it's great to have. at the White House. Thank you very much.

He's a young man. He's young and he's handsome. Which I don't like. I'm not happy about it. That's the president, with the leader, the prime minister of Iraq today. So you know what that is? That's a little nudge to Iran. Hey, Iran, we don't need you. We got Iraq. He's pointing out that there's a lot of oil in Iraq and we're getting our hands on that oil. In other words, there's a lot of other countries around there. You've got the UAE, you got Kuwait, you got Saudi Arabia, you got Qatar, you get a lot of places that want to be in business with us,

and they have oil in spades to give. Of course, it has to get out through the Strait of Hormuz. And so one of the things he had talked about yesterday is, okay, we're taking over the Strait of Hormuz, and in fact, we're doing that, but we're going to get paid for it. Those are countries that have lots of money, we'll be on the payroll. And perhaps he's realizing he can't quite do that the way he thought in terms of, terms of charging a toll. So he's backed off that a little bit today. But I'll tell you, he's full of ideas. You've got to give this guy credit. He's got new ideas here, including one that he's going to

basically allow for more countries to help police all of this. But he is stressing that he's got new opportunities. Iraq, for example, is one of them. And we get a lot of oil that we can get there. In fact, all of our oil companies are happy to do business in Iraq because this is a good source. started to have this political stability, which is so key, right? Don't forget, you need that stability. That's why he jokes about making Venezuela a 51st state because you want law, right? You need, dare I say, law and order. In order to have a successful enterprise and successful economy, you need the protection of property. And you need to know that even when you get a new team in there, it doesn't mean they're going to confiscate all your property, a la Mamdami style. It means that, you

you can continue growing your business. This is why companies are hesitant to go into Venezuela. And they're saying, well, okay, we're going to go into Venezuela now, now that we feel more confident that the U.S. is there and has our back. We don't want somebody else coming in, succeeding Delcey Rodriguez, and then them taking everything that we invested in. So this is really important. Listen to him here. Well, we don't think we need the military there anymore. It's a very big operation.

And what we do have is the oil companies are all going in now, and they're doing partnerships with Iraq, and they're getting along very well. The relationship is a whole big relationship where we don't need the military. We're there to help them. We're there to protect them if need be, but we don't think that's going to be necessary. And their primary, I consider an opponent, they might have considered a friend, but I consider that an opponent was Iran was a big burden on Iraq. because they were the bully of the Middle East, as you know. And we were just talking about that, but they're not gonna have that problem anymore

because Iran has been very much destabilized and really their military power is just a tiny fraction of what it was just four months ago. So they're not gonna have that problem. I think it's really, in a sense, it's given them freedom to do what they have to do. And I think that's one of the reasons that our oil companies are going in there,

at levels that have never been seen before. Wow. Okay, so this is great. And I'm just looking at some of your comments, and one of you guys was pointing out how it is great oil because it is so much easier to process. Unc Andy, 47. I'm going to add you to the show here.

You're absolutely right. So a rocky oil is really wonderful because it costs less in terms of the production costs, right? Because it's easier to actually process. It's not like the heavy, heavy, thick stuff that you get, for example, in Venezuela. So, thus, there's lower production costs. You've got a massive scale opportunity, a very strategic location. You've got a diversity in terms of the grades of oil that they manufacture.

Lighter light are considered more desirable than the heavier ones. And so this is fantastic for us. And by the way, you know, this is kind of coming to fruition that many years later. Iraq has some of the largest proven oil reserves. In fact, if you consider their partners in OPEC, I would say it's probably second in OPEC after Saudi Arabia, although Venezuela, which is no longer part of OPEC, didn't they, am I right on that?

Actually, let me double check that. Is Venezuela part of, I'm going to do a Google search, is Venezuela still part of OPEC? Because I might be jumping the gun because, you know, the UAE left. and I was thinking that Venezuela would be the next only because yet they're still a member. Okay, as of today, July 26, they are still a member. But I wonder how much longer that's going to last. I mean, OPEC is basically just Saudi Arabia at this point, and UAE has ducked out.

But they are second to Saudi Arabia, Iraq is. And so wonderful, wonderful oil that we get out of there. And he's kind of sticking Iran's facing it, so to speak. like, ha-ha, we got a rock, right? And you know what? We're going to take the straight. We're going to take all of it. We're already doing it. I mean, do you see what they did overnight? Wow, another one. So one of the reporters asked him today, listen, did you have any regrets about, you know, negotiating with them in the first place? And he's very practical about it, you know, like he's kind of willing to give anyone a chance or he was with these guys until now. Listen, how the Iranians have

and behaving. Do you have any regrets about lifting the naval blockade or giving the sanctions waivers? No. I gave them a chance. I wanted to give them a chance at making a deal. You know, we had a deal two days ago. It was done. And then all of a sudden, they couldn't do it. They didn't like something about the deal. They couldn't do it. And they shot first, and that was a big mistake that they shot first, because we have been knocking the hell out of them. They're very difficult people. 47 years we put up with it. The SS call. You go back all the way. Thousands of people, thousands of Americans were killed, a lot of soldiers were killed. A lot of soldiers are walking around or not walking around. I mean, they've been so badly injured.

The arms, the legs, the face with the Salamani with the bomb. They call it the roadside bomb. Most people call it the roadside bomb. It's a disaster. And I killed him in my first administration. Had I not, it might be a different story today. He was a mad genius. He was a mad, probably a madman, but he was a general, and he had total control over the country.

And I actually think the leaders of Iran were afraid of Soleimani. But I killed him. And by the way, with him went a very bad person also. happened to be meeting each other at the airport. And a very bad person from Iraq happened to be a leader of Iraq happened to be killed in that same incident. So I don't know if I did you a favor or not. I've never asked you that question.

You probably would know better than me. But no, I think that what we've done to Iran is we've taken away almost all of their military capability. President. Yeah. And the problem is, even though we've taken away those military capabilities, they're still at it, right? Enough so that they could, I mean, look, it's a different scheme these days, right?

With drones, you can actually do a lot of damage with very inexpensive small drones. You can have an IRGC that has different factions and different wings, and they can be out there on their little rafts, right? And create a lot of trouble for some of the commercial ships, the vessels that are going through. So we're going to be running the Strader Hermuz. we're actually not going to, at this point, take actual fees for it. We're not going to be charging any kind of tolls. But I would imagine this is part of why NATO was so important.

We've been talking about NATO for weeks, right? We needed the Europeans to step up in light of what was still potentially coming. I want to go to some of the information that we're getting in now. It looks as though this is a big deal, guys. I mean, we're actually doubling down, and CENTCOM has been releasing some VATES, videos, we have put that blockade officially back in force. It is costing, it is costing around $400 million a day. And by the way, I'm going to just tell you this is really important that we do that. It really is, because by putting that blockade in force, we are strangling the regime.

And I realize the regime is willing to put up with a lot. I realize it doesn't care about its people. It will starve its people if it has to. But at some point, things start to change because there's only so much that they can take. Let me go to this news on CENTCOM here. Good afternoon, Griff. The blockade is back on and when fully enforced by the U.S. Navy, it will cost Iran over $400 million a day. And tonight on President Trump's orders,

a sixth wave of U.S. air strikes is striking Iran. That's the sixth time over the past week. And while it's been relatively quiet here in Israel in recent weeks, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had this warning for Iran earlier today. Do not count on it being quiet if you attack us. Do not count on a rerun. This will be a different event.

Much more powerful. There's a video of strike aircraft launching from the George H.W. Bush and Abraham Lincoln. She's been at sea for over 200 days without a port call griff. F-35B stealth fighter jets also launched from the amphibious assault ship Boxer. Tom Haw cruise missiles also fired. from destroys. So this is going to be a big commitment from us. Don't, don't kid yourself.

We're going to have to basically get a lot of Navy, I would think, action involved, right? Because we are now going to be controlling. I'm just going to change the lower third. If you're just joining us right now, we were talking about the president taking over, Trump, taking over the Strait of Hormuz, takes over straight of Hormuz. And the question is, how dangerous is it going to be? Are you going to be able to get those vessels through? And when we look at energy prices, how badly are they going to be affected?

You've heard this at Najam, but I'll repeat it again. You know what, guys? 20% of the world supply goes through there. 20%. Okay, I can tell you, the market's been soren today, so they're not that worried. You did have oil, however, up about 2%. So that's worth noting natural gas up a tenths of a percent. But, you know, we're taking it in stride.

We're still below 80 right now. $79.87 on oil. So that's a little bit of good news. But I would emphasize that these new Iran airstrikes are signaling a new error. We are going to control the Strait of Hormuz. And we are not going to allow for any of Iran's oil to reach China. to reach anywhere. And that's basically their main customer, right? China and, you know, Cuba. These are, these are their clients. And we had hesitated, don't forget, we never put that

blockade in originally. Why? Because the president was like, oh, you know, we don't want oil prices to go sky high. And so he was willing to allow for Iran initially to still send oil to China. Those days are over. The blockade worked. They came to the table. They said, hey, we want to negotiate. But guess what? They were lying. Remember what I tell you at the time? Don't trust them. We can't trust them. We can never trust them. They have other ambitions. They want to control the whole darn region. For goodness sake, they're going after everyone. They're lobbing bombs into Kuwait and UAE. I mean, they're going after everyone. They're making plenty of enemies. Nobody has any use for them. And so they're kind of doing this to themselves.

And now they're going to be cut off and they're going to be cut off big time. So it's unfortunate for the people, of course. It's unfortunate for the country. But that's where we are. We're taking over the straight. Yeah. they don't like it. They're praying. They're praying that the Trump gets tripped up at midterms with, you know, the Democrats winning. And then what will we, oh, and then we'll have, I'm pretty sure, lots of hearings and lots of, you know, impeachments and it'll be that kind of thing all over again, of course, right? Because that's all they want to do. Here's the vice president actually sitting down last night for an interview on Fox with,

with the 8 p.m. show, and he said, look, yeah, I mean, it's the reality. If the Democrats win at midterms, the president's probably going to get impeached again. And by the way, this is exactly, unfortunately, what Iran wants. Don't kid yourself. So I kind of quit. The foreign interference is interesting. We'll hear more about this on Thursday. What is Iran doing right now?

If the Democrats do win the midterms, is Trump getting impeached again? I'm sure he'll get impeached. Look, they have nothing to actually run on or govern on. Their entire obsessive focus of that party is they hate Donald Trump. So if they ever get power, are they going to lower Americans' taxes? No. Are they going to make your life more affordable? No.

Are they going to solve the crime crisis? No. What they're going to do is they're going to spend all their time and all of your money trying to get Donald Trump. I think it's ridiculous. I think it's ridiculous. That's what they're running on. But the American people are going to make this determination.

I think the American people should vote for the people who want to make their life more affordable and want to make their neighborhoods safer. That's what we're trying to deliver every single day. We'll see how that goes. Anyway, never a dull moment, right? It really isn't. Crazy, crazy times. Reminder, maybe we can help you get through those crazy times.

Model portfolios, top performers. Look at that chart. I love a chart like that. American resilience, inflation protection, income builder, all charts there in my little company, 76 Research.com. 76 research.com. You can sign up for the 76 report. Use code word dollar. You get it for a dollar a month for the first two months and it becomes $9.95 thereafter. Or you can get any one of those three portfolios, our three model portfolios. We don't manage your money. You manage your

money. We just give you all the research and we tell you exactly which stocks we're buying, when we're buying them. And my colleague over there spent 20-someodd years on Wall Street as a mutual fund manager, brilliant guy, Rob Horton. Anyway, we're very proud of this. So go check that out when you can. I'll tell you, you know, this is, this is becoming very interesting. We are seeking out new friends. We've got lots of new friends. The UAE, for example, Kuwait, Qatar, I mean, you know, what are they, the enemy, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I mean, this is, this is a new day. But if you can get away from the extremism, if you can get away from the religion. If you can just say, listen, we want to do business. And this is what this

president is so talented at, right? Business. It's why we put them there because we want a business leader there as opposed to a bunch of politicians, politicians who only have, you know, political goals. We don't have really any political goals. We want freedom for everyone and we want free, fair markets. And that means we want you to be able to sell your oil for goodness sakes, but you're a bunch of nut jobs who can't get out of your own way because you get a Ayatollah and a bunch of religious extremists and, hey, what are we supposed to do? I mean, I would argue, dare I say, our CIA probably should have done a better job targeting and figuring out who was going to go in and take over.

They did do that pretty well, right, in Venezuela, because that place is running, whew, super smooth. But it's not so smooth in Iran. So we've bit off a lot here. I'm not kidding you on that. And we don't have a lot of alternatives at this point. I know some people would like to take their ball and go home. If you do that, you open up a whole other can of worms and a whole bunch more trouble.

I'd love to work out a deal. Who wouldn't want to work out a deal? Right? I'm with the president. and let's, you know, make peace not war. Let's make money, not war. But I'm not so sure we're going to get there with them. I'd love to be proven wrong.

Believe me. But I think it's the religion that's messing this up. It is great to have you all here. Thank you so much for supporting the show and for being here every day. I really, it means a lot to me. It really does. I'll be back here live with you

tomorrow, early afternoon. Hey, next week, next week, we're going to a brand new time. We're going to be on in the morning, late morning, Eastern time. I'm going to be overseas and reporting there for you. So we'll have a lot more to talk about, especially vis-a-vis Nader. Are they going to step up and actually do something in the straight-ohr moves? You know, they promised they would. We shall see. Thanks so much for being here. I'll see you right back here tomorrow on the Trish Riegan show. Don't forget to subscribe.
