President Trump plans to shutter NATO bases in Europe, targeting Spain first for its refusal to host U.S. operations near Costa del Sol and its closure of airspace for Iran-related missions. Citing a Wall Street Journal report, the speaker details potential troop reductions of 75,000 to 100,000, shifting forces to Poland and Romania while criticizing European allies like France, Italy, and the UK for perceived disloyalty during the crisis. The segment further alleges media corruption regarding Iranian disinformation and connects European immigration failures in Brussels to domestic U.S. political figures, framing these actions as necessary responses to unhelpful allies and internal liberal corruption.

Trump Threatens to Leave Europe00:13:26
At this moment, the President of the United States is looking very seriously at taking our armed forces out of Europe and bringing them back home.
This is something that has been talked about a lot, and it's now reaching a point, we've talked about it before here, where it's getting extremely serious.
The Wall Street Journal confirming what I reported to you just the other day that indeed the President wants to bring all of these troops home, he wants to shutter these NATO bases.
And he wants to do it because he is furious.
He is livid that Europe has been nowhere there for us.
Throughout this entire crisis with Iran, Europe has been MIA and more than MIA, Europe has been basically giving us the middle finger the entire time.
And so he's saying, well, what's in it for us?
Starting with Spain.
In Spain, where they have very vocally come out in defiance against this present and not allowed us to use the two bases that we have set up.
There near Costa del Sol, that's not okay.
So, guess what?
Two can play this game.
And we don't need to give you all the funding, and we don't need to help support the local economies, and we can take that all back.
And that's what he's looking at doing at this moment in time.
You've got the head of NATO coming out just hours ago saying, No, we're so thankful for President Trump.
We are so thankful for the United States of America for doing all that it has done.
It has removed a very serious threat.
Well, gee, guys, not any thanks to you, right?
No, definitely not, thanks to you.
And think about this all the money that we spend, all the money that goes into this, and then you can't get anything out when you need it.
It kind of sounds like some little European like states we got going on back at home, right?
With California and Minnesota.
They're talking about $180 billion going missing from the likes of California.
We know about $19 billion reportedly missing from Minnesota.
And you start to say to yourself, what do we got?
A bunch of little European statelets.
We got a little France.
We got a little Spain, we got a little UK.
Is that what's going on?
Well, think of the money we can save when we get rid of these NATO obligations that do us no good and we get rid of these obligations in liberal blue states.
Hate to say it, but they're all blue that are fleecing hardworking American taxpayers.
Enough is enough.
And the president has had it, and you have had it, and I have had it.
And that is where we begin the show today.
Please make sure you subscribe, share, like, all of that important stuff.
It's important indeed.
I want to go to our top story being that NATO is finished.
Yeah, I mean, I told you this just a couple days ago.
I said this was coming.
We were looking at 75,000 to 100,000 troops that we wanted to take right out of Europe.
I warned you when he came out and told the Telegraph newspaper in the UK, which is, by the way, where I am coming to you from right now in the UK.
So I'm getting word on the ground here that a lot of people in the UK don't really like.
This whole Iran strike that we have been engaging in, even though it's for their own good.
And I'll continue talking to sources here and report on that for you, but I'm going to assure you that he's pretty much had it.
And I knew that the day he told the Telegraph newspaper here in the UK that.
I knew that the day that he said to the Ireland head of state, it's not right.
It's not right what you're doing.
And sure enough, now the Wall Street Journal reporting what I told you was going down.
That the UK was very afraid to give us because they didn't want to get dragged in.
But we don't want to get dragged into their wars either.
One thing we're very disappointed, I'll say it publicly, we're very disappointed with NATO because NATO has done absolutely nothing.
And I've always said 25 years ago, I mean, I was somebody that wasn't a politician, but I was always involved in politics and I understood politics.
I said 25 years ago that NATO's a paper tiger, but more importantly, that we'll come to their rescue, but they will never come to ours.
Yeah.
Well, that's not how it's supposed to work.
Not when you're in a partnership, not when you're in an agreement.
I mean, we ought to at least be able to use the bases that we are supplying over there.
Yeah.
I mean, this is clearly not a two way street.
Mark Root, who runs NATO, is trying to shower the president with praise.
He goes on to CNN with that Jake Tapper and is like, oh, you know, we couldn't have done it without him.
You better believe you couldn't have done it without him, without Donald Trump, without us, the United States of America.
We just removed a massive, serious threat.
By the way, a threat that was more pertinent for you people than for us.
And you can't even come to the table, that's the kind of thanks we get.
Hey, we're out of here, right?
Bye bye, bye bye.
Is the world safer today than it was before the war was started?
Absolutely.
Because, and this is thanks to President Trump's leadership, degrading these capabilities is really, really very important for your and my safety here in the US, in Europe, in the Middle East.
Yeah, don't you think?
I think so.
Indeed, I think so.
Here's the story in the Daily Mail here in the UK where I am.
Trump demands NATO send warships to take on Iran or lose U.S. support for good.
So it looks like he's saying, hey, you know, if you can come to the table, maybe we're willing to consider this.
But if you don't, you know that little Ukraine war thing that you got going on with Russia?
We don't need it.
No, we don't need it.
We don't need to keep spending this money, money that we don't really have, on your pet projects when you can't even allow us the use of our own bases or our airspace.
And he's going down the list.
He's taking names, he's checking them twice.
He's going down the list.
And I'm telling you, Spain, you're in trouble.
A lot of trouble.
Here's the article.
Again, my reporting was days ahead of this, but you know, whatever.
I guess it's official now that the Wall Street Journal has it.
Trump team explores punishment for NATO countries that didn't support Iran war.
Okay, we've got France.
We got Spain, loud and clear.
He already talked about tariffs for Spain.
And then we've got the UK.
He wanted the use of the island, Diego Garcia.
And you heard him in that soundbud I just played for you.
They wouldn't give us the island.
I'm terribly disappointed, he said.
Yeah, I'm terribly disappointed too, because what have we been doing all these years?
It's all in name only.
I mean, I get it.
You expect us to protect the world, right?
Well, we're trying to protect the world.
And then we can't even use the bases that we've built up, nor even the airspaces in our own allies.
That doesn't make any sense.
Here again is the Wall Street Journal reporting that the Trump administration is indeed considering pulling out of NATO, removing U.S. troops from NATO countries unhelpful to the U.S. during the Iran war.
The proposal, according to the Wall Street Journal, would station troops in supportive nations like Poland.
And Romania potentially closing a U.S. base in Spain or Germany.
I got two U.S. bases I want to talk to you about in Spain and Germany.
Well, two in Spain for sure.
I'm going to be near one in the next few days.
White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said NATO turned their back on the American people over the last six weeks.
And guess what?
We can turn our back on NATO just as easily.
And when we turn our back on NATO, it's a lot more painful than when they do it.
So they ought to be able to think through some of the ramifications of some of this.
But no one said they were smart.
Hey, if they were smart, for goodness sakes, Germany, if you were smart, you wouldn't have been relying on Russia now for your natural gas now, would you have?
No, because that was definitely not smart.
And hey, Germany, if you were smart, you would not have been relying on.
Bringing in all those immigrants from Syria.
No, you definitely are not smart.
I mean, you consider what's going on in Germany right now and the population disaster.
It is not working for them, not working indeed.
Okay, let's go over to, let's take a look.
Most resistant, most resistant NATO member, Spain.
Okay, refused U.S. ability to jointly operate those bases in Rota.
And moron, okay?
Moron.
I'm saying it with my Spanish accent, but if we want to say it in English, it's moron.
Kind of fitting under the circumstances.
I mean, look, I like Spain, and I will be near these bases in a couple of days, all right?
I like Spain, but they have been very, very, very poorly guided on this one.
Closed Spanish airspace to U.S. planes tied to Iran operations.
They called the war illegal and unjustifiable.
For goodness sake, Spain, what are you thinking?
I mean, you're part of NATO, for goodness sakes.
Jeff Iverson, good to see you in the chat.
Thank you for the generosity.
I'll tell you unbelievable stuff.
Then you've got less helpful resistant NATO members.
We've got to go in scales here, right?
Because Spain's the worst and Spain is going to feel it.
I think the one in either Moron or Moron or Rota is going to be closed.
I do think that that's coming.
I think both of them could wind up being closed.
We've got less helpful resistant NATO members such as France and Italy.
I mean, Italy, Georgia, Maloney, where are you when we need you?
I thought we were on each other's side.
She seemed so promising.
You know, the way she looked at Elon and everything.
So much for that.
You know, maybe he's just got a few too many kids for her.
Anyway, you've got France and Italy.
They have been not so helpful.
You've got Turkey.
Well, we know what Turkey's going to do, right?
You know what Turkey's going to do.
You've got many others, basically, that have not been cooperating the way we thought.
And it kind of stinks.
It kind of stinks.
But again, I go back to Spain being the most resistant member.
And they've got two critical bases, two critical bases in some pretty important places.
Let me see here.
I've got a map on, and you've got the base in Moron, moron.
And then you've got the base in Rota, and that's the naval base.
And the reason this one is so important and so critical is because it's actually at another strait, not the Strait of Hormuz, of course.
Ooh, that's a big map.
But take a look at that one.
In Spain, you've got this particular base there that's, again, you can see it.
Rota, as it's known, that Rota, which is near Cadiz and near sort of Gibraltar, it's right by the Strait of Gibraltar.
So, you know, historically, that's been kind of a good place for us to kind of hang out because you get a lot of key areas there, key seaports.
And so we like to have a presence there, but what good is the presence when you can't even get to it?
Okay.
And it doesn't do us any good at all.
And so we find ourselves today basically.
Having years of frustration come to the surface.
They didn't help us in Iraq and they're not helping us in Iran.
They spend all of their money on social services, by the way.
I mean, maybe they get something for their social services, unlike us, where we've got empty daycares and hospices where people live forever.
Maybe they get a little something more, which would be nice.
But they do have a problem, you see, because they have imported so many people from the Middle East and from Africa and they're having a terrible time trying to simulate these cultures.
And instead of like recognizing, gee, maybe this wasn't the wisest thing to do, what do they do?
They import more.
They import more and then they take more from their people and they divvy it up for all these social services.
And you have people in these communities.
Belgium's a great example.
You go to Brussels, it's 70% migrant, primarily from the Middle East and from parts of Africa.
They're not integrating with the rest of the population.
And so here you are five years out, 10 years out, and you've got the majority of people that came here as migrants into places like Brussels still on welfare.
It's kind of like, oh, I don't know, what we're seeing in the U.S. Kind of like what we're seeing in the state of Minnesota.
So there's a similarity you see going on.
We've had it with NATO.
We've had it with California.
Media Buys Migration Nonsense00:03:49
$180 billion, it's estimated, has been lost thanks to one Gavin Newsom's poor management.
And we've had it with Minnesota and the likes of Timmy Walsh and Keith Ellison.
And especially, that's the one that I'm wondering if she's in on it.
Whether she's a money laundering queen, it's alleged that she might have known a little bit more than she's letting on one Ilhan Omar.
So we do have some similarities between all of this, and it is time everybody wakes up.
And somebody's mentioning that there is a Universidad de Moron in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
That is so interesting to know.
Thank you for the generosity.
And it's kind of funny.
I mean, it means something else in Spanish, obviously.
So we're just having a little bit of fun with it.
But yeah, the University of Moron.
I like Buenos Aires, though.
Listen, and I definitely like Javier, right?
Like, he's doing some really good stuff, but it's the same kind of thing where he's waking up to the process of you can't fleece the people.
You can't be on the take.
And I don't care whether it's us and our generosity with NATO or us with our generosity with US global aid, AID, or I don't care if it's us and our generosity with California and Minnesota.
Enough is enough is enough, which is why he was elected.
Now, the media, for some reason, can't stand any of it.
The media doesn't want any of this exposed.
The media has been drinking the Kool Aid that's been force fed down their throats with the giant psychop.
If you're curious about that, go watch yesterday's show.
My friend Buck Sexton, who's a longtime CIA analyst, he joined the show and he explained exactly what's going on, how they do it, and how the left is actually corrupting the minds of so many Americans right now.
They've corrupted the minds of so many people all over the world with this idea that somehow you're just supposed to roll over and take it.
And, you know, we're not willing to.
Thankfully, we still have a little bit of backbone, but the media, oh, they have none.
And they're buying a hook, line, and sinker.
And so they keep getting duped.
Yeah.
And I mean, duped.
The president has been warning them about this because they keep reporting all this stuff that's coming out of Iran.
And full disclosure, I mean, I saw one AP report the other night.
And I typically, I knew I shouldn't have fallen for this, right?
But I typically tend to trust Associated Press.
Usually they're pretty good.
But nope.
They had it all wrong too.
So they were saying there was this 10 point plan.
It turns out there was no 10 point plan.
It was all fake.
And you have people that are, you know what, disturbers there in Iran trying to influence the psychology and the psyche, one big giant psychop, right, of the Americans and the liberals.
And so they put out all this nonsense.
And of course, the media is just willing to buy it.
And so Donald Trump warned them.
He said, you get all these agreements and lists and letters, blah, blah, blah, being sent out by people who have nothing to do with any of this.
Nothing to do with any of it.
So calm down enough already.
I want to go to the Fox reporter, Trey.
He's, I believe, reporting from the Middle East.
I believe he's out of Jerusalem or Tel Aviv, forgive me, out of Israel.
We'll go with that.
And he also was citing how the media, the legacy media, keeps getting duped on all of this.
Watch.
The Iranians are trying to put out disinformation already.
And yesterday we reported on a 10 point plan.
And I'm told by a U.S. official that that was actually an old plan that the Iranians put out.
Because they wanted people to talk about it and try to put their perspective forward.
And so we are correcting that today.
And we spoke with U.S. officials yesterday who said that is not the latest plan.
There is an updated plan that the president agreed to.
And despite these efforts by the Iranian regime to try to spin negotiators, this will be incredibly consequential this weekend to see whether or not they are serious about creating a good faith deal.
