Donald Trump unilaterally secures the Strait of Hormuz, dismissing a Paris meeting with Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron after ordering allies to "stay away" for past failures in Ukraine and Iran. While Trump allegedly plans to acquire Iranian uranium without payment and shifts troops from Spain and Italy to Poland, he criticizes European economic struggles and socialist policies. The segment accuses progressive politicians like Ilhan Omar of ideological opposition to U.S. strength, suggesting Iran has effectively folded under a blockade while the U.S. prioritizes Eastern Europe over traditional NATO commitments.

Why Allies Are Too Slow00:07:56
They refuse to help.
I'm in London right now, in the UK, where actually Starmer just went over to France to meet with Macron and a few others over there, Maloney, Germany, et cetera, because they all want to get together now to figure out how they're going to fix the Strait of Hormuz.
And it's like, guys, sorry, that ship has sailed.
It's happened.
You know what?
Good old US of A did it.
Donald Trump did it.
And he didn't need to ask your permission to do it, he just did it.
For the betterment of the world.
And I mean that the world, like the world is a safer place today.
Don't ask me, just look at the stock market.
For goodness sakes, it's a rally.
Like we, well, it's been rallying, right?
It's been rallying all along amid this expectation that things are going to get better and that things are going to get safer.
And we're going to come to a deal and we're actually going to have a safer Middle East as a result of someone taking a big step forward on the policy front, right?
In the face of so much disdain, whether it be from the mainstream media.
Whether it be from the crazy left, whether it be from those internally within the United States of America that seem to be on Iran's side.
Yeah, Rashida, Ilhan, I'm looking at you guys.
Whether it be from Europe, right?
That doesn't want to have anything to do with taking any kind of risk whatsoever and yet wants to come in for a victory lap saying, hey, we'll help now.
Well, we don't need your help.
I mean, he's making that really, really clear.
In fact, I believe his words were stay away.
Not only do we not need your help, we don't want you anywhere near this thing because you might just F it up.
So stay away.
Listen to him outside the White House earlier today.
Watch.
We spend trillions and trillions of dollars on NATO.
And when I asked them to get involved on a much smaller situation, which is Parmos and Iran, they weren't there for us.
Remember what I said.
They weren't there.
None of them.
They weren't there.
So we were there on Ukraine.
I mean, we shouldn't have been.
It would have never happened if I were president.
But nevertheless, when they've had problems over the years, we were there.
When we asked them to get involved on a very Minor skirmish by comparison to what it could be.
They weren't there, so I don't think they'd be there for a large skirmish, and therefore I think they've got themselves a problem.
You better believe they have a problem.
And so they seem to have come to that realization again with the meeting happening right now in Europe as they say, We're going to fix the Strait of Hormuz.
Guys, it's already fixed, and you know who to thank, I think, or maybe you're really that dumb.
I mean, you were pretty dumb, right?
When you were Offered the opportunity to step up to the plate, and you ignored that opportunity, that was the first dumb move.
I mean, you've had a multiple number of Of dumb moves along the way.
Let's be perfectly frank and call a spade a spade, including bringing all the migrants into your communities, Sweden, Spain, which by the way is taking another 500,000 today, this week.
I'm going to get to that in a second.
You should see the Moroccan embassy.
The lines are like right around the block.
Anyway, Germany, all of them, Brussels, I mean, they have made so many mistakes, not to mention their flawed economies and their socialist systems.
That are all about giveaways, and thus they don't really have much of an economy in any of these little places.
I mean, I was looking at these numbers, and you're talking about a $1.7 trillion economy in Spain.
You're looking at an economy in Italy that's around $2 to $3 trillion.
I mean, these are nothing, guys, okay?
And then you get over to the UK, and whoop dee doo, a $3.5 trillion economy with a per capita income of somewhere around $52,000, which is better than.
What you're seeing in Spain and Italy, somewhere around 38,000.
I'll just point out that the US of A is 80,000.
Yeah, per capita income.
Ireland, around 70,000.
You know why?
Ireland put in good tax policies for all those companies to relocate there.
And guess what we have in the US of A?
Well, in general, we have had.
I realize some people like Mamdami, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Gavin Newsom, and other extremists want to change this, Elizabeth Warren.
But for the most part, we've had.
Productive economic policy that has enabled us to become the strongest nation in the world and thus be able to do things like we just did, not asking for anybody's permission.
We don't need it.
We need to do the right thing for the world.
And if you guys are going to sit around and debate it all day long, which is exactly your style, reminder subscribe, subscribe to the show, subscribe to the channel.
If you're going to debate it all day long, then we don't need you.
It's that simple, very, very simple.
And it's the reason why at this moment in time, the President of the United States is saying, Hey, go away, stay away.
We don't want you anywhere near this operation because this is an operation that actually might go pretty darn well so long as you stay out of it.
The expectation is that we may see a peace deal as early as this weekend.
The president has said he's getting all the uranium.
No, he's not paying for it because that's another theory that's been floated out there in the mainstream media.
We'll get to that.
He's not paying for it.
He's going to get all their uranium.
And this actually could be a massive.
Dare I say, policy move with generational impact?
I mean, generational impact.
And we haven't even talked about Lebanon and Israel and the potential peace accord there.
Totally, totally separate.
But NATO is what?
A day late and a trillion dollars short?
I love this.
They're having a meeting.
They're having a meeting as we speak.
Just a day after the president said this to my former colleague, Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business.
I'm doing a great job for the country and for the world.
You know, we've had no help, zero from NATO.
We're there for them.
They're not there for us.
We spend, you saw the chart that came out a couple of days ago with a big monster red ball.
That was us and all these little satellite balls.
And it represented the money spent on military and NATO.
And it's ridiculous.
And they should have been better.
They should have said, we'll send somebody.
It's a small operation compared to a big operation.
But NATO was not there for us.
And what it means, if they're not there for us here, they're not going to be there for us.
So, why are we spending all that money?
It's something that keeps coming up, a theme, right?
And this is one of the graphics he's referring to the fact that we spent nearly a trillion dollars in 2025, and they're spending such tiny little amounts.
Granted, we have a much larger economy, but still, in the scheme of things, you would think you might be a little bit beholden to the one that pays the bills, right?
I mean, what are you, NATO, without us?
I don't think you're much of anything.
And one of the things that the president has talked about doing.
Is actually deferring resources away from places like Spain, where we're spending a couple hundred million to keep up those bases, and away from places like Italy, because by the way, he has no use for Georgia Maloney right about now, away from places like France, where we're not allowed to use the airspace, or the UK, that's been kind of a stick in the mud right throughout it, and actually put that money into Eastern European countries, Poland, for example, or Lithuania.
Now, what's interesting there is those are the countries that are probably more under threat from a Vladimir Putin, not necessarily a UK or France.
From a global policy perspective and a foreign policy perspective, if I'm on his team, what I'd be saying is, yeah, let's think about securing the places that might actually need the security, as opposed to a bunch of ingrates over here with Germany and Spain and UK.
Why are we giving them all the money and letting them make all the decisions?
Forget about it.
Check Policygenius Today00:03:34
Let's give it to the people who need it, for goodness sakes, if we're even going to do that.
So that's a big change.
And this is why NATO is trying to think, okay, well, what are we going to do in this new world?
How are we going to manage this?
And they are meeting as we speak.
I want to go to some of that video.
Because it's kind of funny.
I mean, you just got to admit, it's sort of funny.
It's like, guys, like now?
I mean, the irony of it all is actually quite spectacular.
But let's just say they don't plan ahead.
And planning ahead matters.
You know what?
Planning ahead matters all the time with everything.
I am looking right now.
Let's see.
Hopefully, can you see me?
I don't know if you, I don't think you guys can see me right now.
I am, could you see me right now?
I'm actually relying on you.
I was just going to try and do a quick commercial for our friends over at Policy Genius.
But could you see me?
Could you hear me?
I should say.
I think you could probably not see me, but perhaps you could hear me.
So I want to try that again as we talk about Policy Genius.
I just want to make sure that I am on camera with you in that moment.
Or maybe we don't even need to.
You know what it is.
It's policygenius.com.
But make sure, let me make sure that I have their handle up there for you as this is.
Do you see that?
I think you do.
Okay.
So policygenius.com.
It's an insurance basically aggregator.
So they find all the, you know, Possible insurances you could get, and they get you the best deal.
And the reason why this is really good to have is because everybody needs insurance.
You've heard my story, right, about the twins that I went to high school with, and it was really sad.
Like, their dad died about a month before high school started, and he didn't have any insurance.
So, horrible, horrible, horrible story.
And it's kind of always stuck with me.
And so, I think, as a young adult, right, and then as no longer a young, exactly, adult, but as somebody who has three kids and considers it really, really important to actually make sure that you are providing for your family.
Especially in light of some of the things that could happen, I absolutely love this company because it's a great way for you to find out just exactly what's on the market, right?
Like what's out there.
They really are tremendous at gathering all the insurance in the marketplace.
And this is how you can lock in life insurance, for example, or other kinds of insurance, which I actually never met an insurance product I haven't liked, which I don't know what that says about me.
But I'm going to put this up here as we talk about NATO trying to secure this trade.
I'll tell you, they could use a little life insurance.
Or a little bit of insurance somewhere, somehow.
But I encourage you to go to policygenius.com.
I'm actually going to put it in the show notes as well because, let's see, this is called Talking and Typing at the Exact Same Time.
And the question is, can Trish Regan actually do this?
Sometimes she can, and sometimes she can't.
It becomes harder in a foreign country.
Policygenius.com forward slash Trish.
They're really, really good.
You should check it out because, again, Lots of different products there for people at very, very different stages of your life.
You can protect your family with a policy that grows with you throughout your life.
With policygenius.com, you can see a 20 year life insurance policy starting at just $276 a year for a million bucks in coverage.
And so you want to go to policygenius.com forward slash Regan, not Trish.
Goodness gracious, boy, I'm going to have to owe them a freebie for this one, right?
Policygenius.com forward slash Regan, or you guys can go get insurance and you can help me.
The Pope's Mission Hypocrisy00:11:39
Anyway, we thank them for their support.
And as I said, I mean, given what I went through there with my friends in high school, I have never met an insurance product that I did not really and truly love, love, because you can never have enough insurance.
Somebody should tell Europe that.
Our insurance, I guess, was, or their insurance was us.
Maybe that was the deal.
But they didn't actually want us to do anything, and therein was the entire problem.
So now, at this moment in time, as we speak, they are meeting over in Paris.
So, the UK leader went over to Paris and he's sitting down with everybody with Georgia Maloney, who's all shaken up, right?
Because Trump's been poking the finger at her, in part because of the Pope, et cetera.
And then you've got Germany over there and you've got everybody saying, okay, well, what are we going to do?
How are we going to have any kind of power in this post world scenario without the US there doing what we tell it to do?
Because clearly, we're not going to do anything that it tells us to do.
I mean, when they say you can't use the basis and we say, okay, fine, well, we'll do a fly around, I think that they're getting the message.
And so they decided to have this big shindig again in Paris today, and they're all coming together to plan this one out.
You can see a picture there of Macron and Kirstarmer, and as I said, meeting today.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer arriving now, Elysee Palace in Paris.
He is going to meet the French president, Emmanuel Macron.
The agenda item is what they and other world leaders can do to aid in the efforts to reopen the Straits.
Well, they want to see what they can do to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
I mean, you can't make this up.
Guys, it just happened.
Like, it's done already, and you're having a meeting about it.
The irony of this is quite special.
You do realize.
You do realize, right?
Like, as an American, you got to be able to appreciate that the Europeans are just coming up with the idea of let's have a meeting to talk about it.
I mean, at least it's not a Zoom meeting.
That was the original plan.
Here we go.
Let's go to one, Keir Starmer, trying to talk a good game.
The world needs the Strait of Hormuz fully open because that is how we keep prices down.
The mission that we're putting together is a defensive mission.
Hmm, a defensive one.
Well, guys, again, I hate to break it to you, but it's been done.
So you are a day late and $1 trillion short.
Laura Ingram got a kick out of this the other night with her guest.
They were making a similar sort of comment to me right now where they were like, wait a second, they're going to have a Zoom meeting about that?
I mean, it turned into them actually meeting in person.
They don't have to go that far.
I mean, it's a hop, skip, and a jump, for goodness sakes.
You don't even have to cross the pond, right?
So why not meet in person?
Anyway, they had a little fun with this, and I believe that the guest equated this to a Seinfeld episode.
Khan feels that way.
Now, the Wall Street Journal's reporting that Europe is drafting a post war plan to free up the Strait of Hormuz without the U.S.
So, Macron, Starmer, they're going to be hosting another online meeting of several dozen countries to discuss how best to police Hormuz once the hostilities end.
What do you make of this?
Is this.
Credible.
I mean, to me, it just seems absolutely pathetic.
This sounds like a scene from Seinfeld.
The Europeans are huddled having a meeting about how to open the Strait of Hormuz one day without the United States.
Well, you know what the United States is doing right now?
It's reopening the Strait of Hormuz without Europe.
The president's already transited the Strait of Hormuz.
We have destroyers on the other side clearing the path for international shipping with more of a naval armada on the way to augment what we already have there.
And because we've halted the major military operations, Which was the focus of those naval forces, along with our air forces, now they can be redirected, repurposed to the tanker convoy missions, protection missions, and deterrence against Iran.
The president is doing it on his own without Europe, but we'll remember.
Yeah, we'll remember.
And I don't think this is one that we're going to forget.
I mean, the president keeps saying it over and over and over again.
He feels a little, I think, put off, to put it mildly, right?
He's been put off by all of this, and understandably so.
Here is the guy who runs the NATO group, Mark Rutte, and he's speaking out.
This would be a week ago today.
And he's trying to tell everyone, well, you see that everybody's feelings were hurt because you didn't come to us first.
And you should have come to us if you had just come to us.
Like maybe we would have been able to do this, but now we're ready.
Now we're ready.
Of course, they weren't.
That was last Friday, and here we are, a whole week later.
And they're just getting around to having a meeting when it's already done.
It came time to provide the logistical and other support the United States needed in Iran.
Some allies were a bit slow to say the least.
In fairness, they were also a bit surprised.
To maintain the element of surprise for the initial strikes, President Trump opted not to inform allies ahead of time.
And I understand that.
Yeah.
Well, if we had told you about it, you might have picked up the phone and called Ilhan.
And then it would have kind of been game over, right?
Like the element of surprise would have been entirely gone.
So, what we have learned, and what perhaps NATO has learned, is that we don't need to pick up the phone and we don't need to tell you.
But when we do engage in something like this, we expect our friends and allies to be there just like we were there for them.
With Ukraine.
And if you're not there for us, then we're going to have a problem.
And that includes all of these countries, including Italy.
Italy, very much in the crossfire right now with Donald Trump, as Georgia Maloney, who used to have a really nice relationship with him, is being called out by the president.
One, because she, again, wanted to say this is America and Israel's war and Italy's not going to do anything.
And two, because she decided to take him on vis a vis the Pope.
So now there is a dust up.
And Trump is saying, hey, you know what, Italy, you go do your thing.
We're not going to help.
We're not going to help.
I mean, we've got bases there.
We spend lots of money there.
We don't need to help you.
We don't need to have any part of this.
And so I think this is a relationship that has soured, not to say it couldn't be improved at some point, but I think some damage has been done.
Here's Maria, who, by the way, is Italian by background.
I love Italy.
I'm just going to say, I love Italy and I love Georgia Maloney.
So I'm very, very disappointed in all this.
I think she's talking her book to a certain extent, right?
Because she's got the Pope and the Vatican right there.
Although if you go to Italy, You know, people aren't that Catholic.
They're Catholic, ethnically speaking, but I don't think they're like super, super into the church.
In fact, the church is kind of dying over there.
It's one thing I've always noted, and it's been going on for decades, really, in Italy.
But she had to, for whatever reason, I guess, defend the Pope because she's got the Vatican there in Rome.
So she may have been talking her book.
I don't know.
He was just not impressed, not impressed that she wasn't willing to help vis a vis Iran.
And then, you know, she had to ding him on the Pope.
And he told Maria, who's, as I said, an American Italian, we're kind of done with her.
Watch.
What Europe has done with immigration, most of the countries, not all, what they've done with immigration is horrible.
Do we still have the same relationship with Italy right now and Georgia Maloney?
No.
No.
She's been negative.
Anybody that turned us down for helping with this Iran situation, we do not have the same relationship.
Just so you know, Italy gets a lot of oil from the Strait.
You can call it the Strait of Hormuz or the Hormuz Strait.
I said, which is better?
They said either is okay, but you can call it either one.
The only thing you can't call it is the Trump straight.
They don't like that idea.
So, again, Italy not stepping up to the plate, just like Spain was not willing to, just like France was not willing to, just like UK, just like Germany.
I mean, the list goes on and on and on and on.
And so, as a result of this, he's licking his wounds, saying, Okay, well, we got this mission accomplished.
So, why am I going to continue on with these jokers when they're never going to be there for me?
And here's Georgia.
I want to show you, I believe this is yesterday's tape.
She's speaking out against President Trump and in defense of the Pope, right here with reporters.
In Italian.
So I'm going to turn that down.
And basically, just to clarify what she's saying, is she really didn't appreciate what he said about the Pope and that she thinks that religious leaders need to be kept separate from government leaders, et cetera.
And that is, as I said, perhaps an example of Georgia talking her own.
Own book, but the president again did not appreciate it.
He hasn't appreciated what the pope has said.
The pope has come out against this war in Iran, and in fact, as recently as today, I saw some sound of him on an airplane talking about how we need this is the pope, how we need more integration and more migration throughout Europe.
Which, by the way, has not gone so well, right?
Has not gone so well for most of Europe.
So he's pushing this idea that's very much at odds with what the president feels.
And by the way, if we're honest, what Georgia Maloney really feels, because she has not been exactly what you would say.
All that welcoming.
She's not really embraced this idea of immigration in Italy.
But perhaps the biggest sticking point for one President Trump is that the Pope, who's supposed to be about world peace and about human life, doesn't seem to be recognizing that you know, you got about 40,000 people that have died in Iran since the start of this, and they're talking about executing more.
This came up on the White House lawn today with a reporter saying, Did you know that they were going to execute more people, including a woman, and hear his response?
Execute four people in Plotin.
Okay, we're going to try that again because I realized the volume was a little bit low.
It's just a short sound bite.
Watch.
Tell that to the Pope.
You want to catch things up with the Pope?
That Iran is going to.
Did you just hear that?
Iran is going to execute four people in Plotin?
He said, Tell that to the Pope.
In other words, there's a certain level of hypocrisy going on.
It's great that the Pope can sit there and say, Hey, we want no war.
We want no war.
At some point, like you need to recognize when a country's doing something pretty terrible to its own people, and another country wants to step up and say, Hey, we're going to secure this thing for everybody.
Maybe actually your allegiance ought to be with the country that's making the world safe.
Just saying, just saying.
Oh, maybe I should tell that to the lefty media as well, because the lefty media kind of seems to almost not want world peace.
I mean, I'm like, why are you guys always on the other side?
Like, always, always, always.
It's gotten a little ridiculous.
Is China An Imminent Threat00:15:14
I mean, I look, I'm all for.
I call the president out when I need to call the president out, right?
Like, just as I'd call Biden out.
And if Biden did something good, I don't know that he did.
But if he did, I'd be happy to praise him, okay?
Praise where praise is due, criticism where criticism is due.
You know my allegiance.
I'm certainly right of center.
And you know what?
I just don't want you to tax me.
And I want government to be small and to sort of stay out of our lives and not to tell me that a man can have a baby.
And then, you know, we might just be okay.
But But, you know, the media in general, for whatever reason, has picked a side.
And I often question is it because of clicks?
Is it because of money?
Is it because they've just been brainwashed?
Which is entirely possible.
I don't think they're the smartest group.
I mean, that.
I mean, business reporters tend to be a little bit smarter because, you know, we actually have to understand numbers.
Imagine.
But the political reporters, they're kind of into the drama.
They like the drama.
And the drama's gotten kind of out of hand.
And they just, you know, the fireworks on the left is just insane.
And so the lefty media almost feels like, No matter what, they want him to lose.
Even if it means us losing in Iran, they'd like that, right?
If the Strait of Hormuz just remained closed and nobody could get any oil and they could say, ha ha, you know what?
We were right.
We were right.
We told you about him, right?
They just don't want to be proven wrong now, do they?
Another dust up, another day, another dust up for poor Scott Jennings, who ought to deserve some kind of hazard pay for going on that network.
One CNN, here he is saying to Val Demings from Florida, former Congresswoman, I mean, come on, lady, really, what do you want?
Anybody with an elementary school understanding of foreign policy could have told you the Strait of Hormuz was going to get shut down, and that is exactly what happened.
And who controls it right now?
Who controls the Strait of Hormuz?
Why are gas prices so high then?
Why were they high during Biden's administration?
Did you like that?
It wasn't because of a geopolitical fumble.
Here's a deal.
Who controls the Strait?
You're using last week's talking points, David.
We control the Strait.
We are in charge of this conflict right now.
You better believe we are.
And that actually wasn't Val Demings.
I mean, you know, I have to level with you.
That was another libtard.
But let me go to the one with Val Demings.
Here we go Scott Jennings and Val.
There's a blockade, yes, and it's effective, but it's not benefiting the United States in terms of access or any of our allies around the world.
If they succumb to it.
So, where is the victory there, and how can this come about?
Can I ask you a question?
Do you want us to win?
Do you want us to defeat these people?
I always want the U.S. to win.
Because it sounds to me like you are cheering for a bad outcome.
Could you define what win looks like?
Because all you can seem to do is define negativity.
Here's what win looks like.
These fanatics don't get a nuclear weapon.
Period.
Full stop.
That's all right.
But the president said that they didn't have a weapon.
The American people deserve to know why our troops are there.
What is it exactly that we're fighting for?
We're going to stop them from getting a nuclear weapon.
It has nothing to do with the strait.
It's a nuclear weapon.
It's a nuclear weapon.
There's no imminent threat.
There was no imminent threat.
Val, they have missiles that can reach most of Europe.
Do you not consider that to be an imminent threat?
They're an imminent threat to the United States.
We don't have bases and troops in Europe and all over the region.
You know, that's actually kind of crazy when you think about it.
Here we were saving Europe, like helping them, because no, those nuclear weapons couldn't have hit us, but it would have changed the whole equation.
Okay, let's just think this through for one little second.
Follow me here.
Because if Iran had had the nuclear weapon, it would have held the rest of the world hostage.
And who's it aligned with?
Oh, Russia and China.
Now, think about the energy policy that was being constantly promoted and perpetuated by the left over the last couple of decades, right?
Green energy, green energy.
And they wanted us to stop all drilling.
Imagine if Kamala Harris had been elected and we stopped all drilling and we didn't have much energy back here at home.
We didn't do the thing down in Venezuela where we scored the Orinoco region and a lot of oil supply that happens to be there.
And we actually lived in a world where Iran then got the nuclear weapon.
And we would have been on our hind legs saying, Well, oh my gosh, what do we do?
Because we don't have our own energy supply.
And now they have the nuclear weapon.
And China would have been sitting quite pretty now, wouldn't it?
So sometimes when I think about all the stuff that has happened, and I think about the left and their ideology and what has been pushed, including what we heard from Swalwell, who was being manipulated by the likes of Fang Fang, who was actually a Chinese spy.
You see, if you connect the dots from China to the Democrats to energy policy, I think there's something there.
And I would just say, look, if nothing else, I'm quite happy that we elected a Republican president in the way of one Donald Trump who wants to make sure that we are drilling, drilling, drilling, that we had Marco Rubio smart enough to go down and lock down Venezuela even before we started this excursion, this little excursion.
And then I'm kind of glad we did this little excursion so that we didn't wind up in a scenario where Iran would have had a nuclear weapon and then Europe would have been sitting there on its.
On its hind feet.
And then you would have had Israel doing the same and Saudi Arabia doing the same, all the Middle East saying, oh my gosh, we got the crazy people in charge.
So why isn't the media putting one in one together and coming up with two?
I mean, they go one in one equals eight for some reason.
It's all over the place.
And I think it's because they are so wedded to this idea that they hate Donald Trump.
I mean, when you're so passionate about a candidate, I can't imagine being that passionate about a candidate, honestly.
I mean, I did not like Joe Biden, but I don't hate the guy.
Like, I don't hate them.
I don't hate anyone.
And ask for politicians, do I love them?
No, I don't really.
I mean, come on.
Let's be grounded.
Can we please?
But I think the real problem is it's all tied up in their own ego because their own ego is at stake.
Their own ego is out there saying, oh, he's awful.
He's the next thing since Hitler, for goodness sakes.
Yeah, that's a party line that's constant and disgusting and pathetic.
And I hate to even echo it, but that's what they try and sell.
So now, if the guy who's like the devil actually solves a major problem, Worldwide crisis and affects foreign policy for generations to come, then that makes them look pretty darn stupid now, doesn't it?
Ooh, and they don't like to be considered stupid.
They think they're the smart ones in the room.
Sorry, guys, you're stupid, all right?
And you don't think anything through, anything through at all.
I want to go to Stephen Miller, who's explaining why they're so sensitive about all of this.
Watch.
It's a total discrediting of the corrupt politicians and corrupt systems that brought America to its knees.
Our wealth, our treasure, our power has been bled from us for 50 years.
We won World War II, and then we decided that we were going to get rid of the Department of War, we were going to get the Department of Defense, and we were going to have a politically correct foreign policy.
And we sent away our jobs, we sent away our wealth, we sent away our industry, and we gave other countries a chance to compete against us.
President Trump has used trade policy, energy policy, manufacturing policy, and yes, hard military power to ensure another century of American dominance.
Good.
Okay.
Good.
Like, who doesn't want to celebrate that?
The media.
The media.
Again, because you got to remember, this is their ego.
This is all they got.
And they decided to hang their hat on Trump is bad and Trump is evil and Trump is going to ruin the world.
And when it turns out that Trump's actually maybe saving the world, They don't know what to do with that bit of information.
But it's a good day, guys.
It's a good day.
And if I seem extra happy, there's a reason for that.
Iran has folded.
You get the media in disbelief.
You get Democrats in disbelief.
They can't believe he did this.
Oh, and so now the latest accusation coming forward from Axios is that he just paid for it, that he did a $20 billion deal.
He just paid for the uranium, and that's why he's getting something done.
I actually don't think it's as simple as that.
I think it's as simple as this.
I'm going to tell you what happened.
We closed all of their ports.
We sealed them off so they couldn't get one drop of oil out of any of those Iranian ports.
You know who was a little bit mad about that?
China, because China needs that Iranian oil, even though they're not supposed to get it, right?
Because we've sanctioned Iran.
But they all find a workaround with those sanctions.
And so China's sitting there going, We need our oil.
And it's calling up its client, or rather its supplier, and saying, Hey, we're your client.
We need that oil.
Get your act together.
And Iran's like, Well, we can't give it to you because the US is in the way.
And you know what else is a big problem?
When they can't actually deliver that oil to their clients, like China, they don't make any money.
And their entire economy is dependent on that money.
So they get shut off.
And that means big problems.
I mean, you got problems with the US, but all of a sudden, if your people are starving and they have no economic survival opportunity whatsoever, they're going to turn on you fast.
All because you can't open your ports because we are there with our blockade.
And so that, ladies and gentlemen, was very convincing in and of itself.
And now we're getting the enriched uranium.
This being sent out by the president.
He's been very active, by the way, on Truth Social.
If you're not following him on Truth Social, now might be a day to do it.
And he put this out that the U.S. is going to be getting all of their nuclear dust created by them.
No money will be changing hands.
No money whatsoever.
I want to go to a Fox report on this right now, briefly.
Here we are.
It is not because the United States is ready to unfreeze $20 billion in Iranian money in exchange for them forking over leftover uranium, which is what's laid out in an Axios report about the U.S. offer.
Because the president says the USA will get all nuclear dust created by our great B 2 bombers.
No money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form.
And he was just talking about this in Battleground, Nevada.
I will say the war in Iran is going along swimmingly.
We can do whatever we want.
And it should be ending pretty soon.
It was perfect.
Less perfect, the friendship with our NATO pals.
Pals, the president, right?
Yeah, less perfect.
The friendship with the NATO pals, which is very fragile right about now.
He's been sounding off on them all day long.
Again, it's just like, guys, we got a big victory lap here, and now you're holding a big meeting in Paris to try and talk about how you're going to secure the Strait of Hormuz after we just did it.
I'll never get over this one.
I really won't.
I mean, the irony is quite spectacular.
And it's so Europe, right?
It's so Europe versus the US of A.
And that's what they don't like about us, right?
We push the Americans.
We just do what we want.
Oh, you better believe we do what we want and we do it right.
We get it done.
This is a realignment, though, of the world.
It is a realignment of our resources in terms of the money that we're giving to NATO at this moment.
He's not going to forget it.
He's singing one tune and one tune only over and over and over again.
Here he is the other night.
You know, we spent trillions of dollars on NATO to help them.
Guard really against Russia.
When you think of it, we're guarding against Russia.
And I've long thought it was a little ridiculous, but we spent trillions of dollars doing it.
And I think that's going to be under very serious examination.
It's under serious examination, my sources telling me that they're looking to divert resources.
So instead of giving Spain hundreds of millions of dollars and France hundreds of millions of dollars and Italy and the UK, et cetera, maybe they will actually look to.
Divert some of those resources to the Eastern European countries, which, if you ask me, those are the ones that kind of need it a little bit more, right?
Like, if you're Poland, you're far more at risk, or Lithuania, of Russia coming in.
So, it kind of seems to make sense on the surface anyway.
But I think this has got some of these, you know, bigger players, if you would, kind of fearful.
They're talking about closing down two bases.
We've talked about this in Rota and in Moron, an area that I was near over the weekend, this past weekend.
And that is a A base that's actually strategic and important from a naval perspective near Cadiz, Spain.
We also have the air base there in Rota.
And I think that, yeah, you just got to kind of think through if we're spending all this money and we're building these up and then we can't even use them, then what good is it, right?
Like, what good is it?
It doesn't make any sense.
Meanwhile, you've got Spain.
What are they doing with the money?
Well, they're inviting more people in.
They've got 500,000 undocumented migrants that they just invited into Spain this week.
Like, the Moroccan embassy is a disaster.
They've got people lined up for miles.
Because the prime minister of Spain is saying, hey, come one, come all.
And if you've been living here, even illegally, well, we're going to give you the opportunity now to come into the system full fledged.
I mean, this is what a lot of the progressives in the US would love.
So, Pedro Sanchez, he's the prime minister here, he says this is really an act of justice and it's something that's very necessary for Spain.
So, they're kind of cooked, right?
They're kind of cooked because they have their culture.
Which, by the way, is very different from the French culture, which is very different from the British culture, and very different from the Italian culture and the German culture.
German culture is why I've never really thought that the whole EU thing, while neat in principle, well, you know, how do you really have a United States of Europe without some kind of Alexander Hamilton in the background?
They got one currency and they're supposed to all be together on stuff and yet they're all divided, even with their languages and their cultures, et cetera.
So it doesn't really work.
Like fundamentally, it doesn't really work.
And now you're going to introduce again a larger migrant population there into Spain.
I should point out a lot of the population, in fairness, does come from Latin America.
And that's helpful because they at least have the same language and some sort of affinity culturally speaking, right?
Just like the UK, for example, and the US.
But the second largest group is actually from Morocco.
Let Us Be Logical Players00:02:27
And that is where you're seeing the lines right now in Madrid, Spain.
I'll just show you some of these pictures.
And one of the things that struck me in these pictures is that I'm not seeing many women or children.
Now, do you?
I mean, I actually circled the women that I saw because they were seemingly so few and far between.
Not a whole lot of women there, but 500,000.
And so now you think about all the money that they're spending on all these social programs and the money that we give them, and yet none of the money goes to defense, only 1% to 3% compared to us, where we're spending 12% to 15% of our GDP on defense.
And by the way, our GDP is a heck of a lot bigger.
So overall, you're looking at a Europe that is increasingly weakened, I think is embarrassed at this moment in time, right?
Because our blockade worked.
They're sitting there trying to figure out how are we going to get this done.
They're having a meeting today in Paris, okay?
They get together with a big syndic in Paris to figure it out, and we just did it.
Like, amazing, right?
Amazing.
And so now they've been weakened, and they know it, and they know that Donald Trump means business, and he's probably looking to divert resources.
Again, I would say if you're still going to spend money, spend it wisely, right?
Get some bang for your buck.
Make sure that if you're going to spend it in Spain, you're going to be able to use the basis, for goodness' sake, in Spain.
And if you need to spend some money in other places where, You've got countries that might need your help a little bit more, that might actually be threatened more by the likes of Vladimir Putin.
Should one consider him to be that threat, well, then why wouldn't you be spending it there?
I mean, I don't really think he's going after Germany or France or UK tomorrow, but, you know, Poland could be up for grabs.
So let's rethink this, okay?
Let's just be logical players.
And what I love about this team is that we have logical players from Besant to Rubio to, you know, my former colleague, as strange as that is, right?
We TV people, we get around, you have.
Pete Hegseth, now running the Department of War.
So there's a lot of brain power, I think, at work in this.
And I think it's frightening for the Europeans, but it had to be done.
And by the way, the market loves it.
The market loves it.
I love it because, you know, I'm big into investing.
Go check out my other company, 76research.com, when you get a chance.
76research.com, we got three model portfolios there for you.
You can check all that out.
But just think about what I'm saying.
I mean, we would have been in a different kind of place.
A Victory Lap For The President00:00:31
Would we not have?
If this president hadn't won, if Iran had gotten the nuclear weapon, you think Kamala Harris would have done anything?
I mean, she wasn't even willing to drill for oil in the United States.
So, a big victory lap for the president.
I am hoping for some really good stuff over the weekend.
I can't wait to get back to the United States.
Thank you for being here.
Make sure you subscribe, and we will talk again live on Monday.
Lots of content, though, still coming your way all weekend long.
