🚨 Trump CUTS OFF Italy — Meloni REFUSES to Pay NATO Bill! SHOWDOWN Begins
Donald Trump escalates tensions with Italy's Giorgia Meloni over unpaid NATO bills and migrant policies, while simultaneously threatening the denaturalization of 400 citizens including Ilhan Omar. The episode alleges SPLC fraud, critiques European energy strategies, and claims Iran loses $13 billion monthly under US pressure. Ultimately, the narrative argues that a Harris victory would have allowed China and Iran to dominate Europe, whereas current actions secure American oil independence and global stability.

US Threatens Italy Over Energy00:14:38
Arriva delci, Italia.
That's basically what the president of the United States is saying right now to one Georgia Maloney, the prime minister of Italy.
You're cut off.
Goodbye.
See you later.
You weren't there for us.
We're not going to be there for you.
And NATO is getting really nervous right now because this basically threatens everything.
I mean, they kind of had a little thing going on, right?
It looked like they were good friends.
And now all of a sudden, amid a series of things just within the last, say, six weeks, That relationship has deteriorated quite badly to the point where tonight he's out there attacking her in the Italian press.
It's all over the front pages in Italy.
He's actually speaking to Italian reporters about this.
And meanwhile, she's saying, Well, we don't know if we can pay our NATO bills.
She's looking to stiff us, if you can believe it.
Can you believe it?
Well, I guess we all can, right?
I guess we all can.
We all knew it was coming at some point, sooner or later.
Push comes to shove.
And this is that moment in time.
We've got a lot to talk about.
Welcome to the Trish Regan Show.
I am Trish Regan.
Make sure you subscribe, make a comment, share, like.
I love seeing you all here.
Again, lots to go through.
But most importantly, top of our agenda right now, Italy is getting cut off.
The president of the United States speaking with Italian media.
This is a big deal, right?
Because he's going out there onto her turf and he's saying enough is enough.
This after Georgia Maloney said today that the energy crisis is putting her ability to pay.
Completely in doubt.
So they think they're going into recession.
They're looking at maybe a two tenths of a percent decline in the Italian economy as a result of higher energy prices.
All the more reason, don't you think, why she might have actually been a little more gung ho to join one Donald Trump in this entire effort, this excursion, don't you think?
Because she needs a quick end to this solution as fast as she can get it if her economy is that much under threat.
You know, Italy's facing weakening growth.
That's the outlook from the Italian treasury today.
Rome is pledging to hike its.
defense spending or had been pledging to 5% of GDP.
She was out there saying, hey, we need NATO, NATO, NATO is great, NATO, NATO.
And then when she's told, yeah, you got to move to 5%, which she intended to do, now she's saying, I don't think we can.
I don't think we can because we have all these economic challenges, public finance difficulties.
Of course, by the way, they're taking in 500,000 new migrants.
Didn't she campaign against that in Italy?
Oh, we're going to get to that too, believe me, because it's unbelievable what's going down in Europe and the very politician that said, hey, we're not going to take any more.
Is now welcoming in half a million over the next three years.
Same as Spain.
They got a recession, apparently, that they're looking at.
Apparently, her economic policies haven't been so smart.
Cat Crazy Sam, good to see you here.
And as a result of this, here you see, they promised the 5%.
They're not going to have the 5% this year.
And they are, Italy is anyway, the most gas reliant economy.
38% of their energy is actually a form of liquefied gas that comes through.
The Middle East and part of it likely through the Strait of Hormuz.
So, all the more reason, again, don't, if we want to think about this logically, people, logically, why you would actually care, right?
You would actually very much care.
I'm looking at cat crazy Sam.
He's saying, Thanks for the generosity.
Did Italy use the same bookkeeper as Ilhan Omar?
You kind of wonder, right?
So I think that if she were smart, she would actually say, Hey, I want to join Donald Trump in this effort.
I want to bring energy prices down.
Instead, she's getting, I don't know, pressure from the Vatican, pressure from the socialists.
She's doing the opposite of what she was going to do.
And he's had it.
He indicated this.
I'm going to play you first the US version because he's out in the Italian press today.
But don't forget, he spoke with.
My good friend, wonderful woman, Maria Bartolomeo, Italian herself by background, about the relationship with Italy just last weekend, and he torched her.
Georgia, you're going down.
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.
Anyone 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.
They do get a lot of oil and a lot of liquefied gas from there.
So all the more reason for her to care about this.
And yet she's basically given us the middle finger along with Spain, along with France, along with the UK, along with Germany.
You see where the trend is.
You wonder why this administration is now sitting down.
With a red pen and saying, Where can we get rid of people?
We got 13,000 troops in Italy.
Do we really need them?
5,000 troops in Spain.
Do we really need them?
After all, we tried to get access to the Sigonella base in Sicilia, in Sicily, and she wouldn't let us.
She said, No, no, this has got to go through Parliament.
You're not going to be able to get any access to that.
It's like, Hello, lady.
This is the base that we've been giving you money for.
We got lots of bases, actually, a lot more than we even have in Spain.
So here he is today in Corriere della Sera.
I speak a little bit of Italian.
I was much better at one point in time.
But he says, That's a new word for me.
Okay, so what does that mean?
What does that mean?
It means I'm shocked.
Okay, here's the English translation.
She's not giving us any help, not at all.
And I'm kind of shocked.
I'm really disappointed in her.
Oh, and then, you know, they asked him about the Pope.
He's like, Pope Leo, he's kind of clueless.
He has no idea.
You know, we're actually trying to save lives here, and we'll save a lot.
By the way, eight women that were going to be sadly executed, he saved there in Iran.
He announced that this morning.
So, you know, saving lives one at a time here.
Let me give you the full quote.
He said in this apparently six and a half minute interview in Corriere della Sera, the Italian newspaper, the big Italian newspaper, very liberal, suddenly they love Tucker Carlson.
That tells you everything you need to know.
And they're defending, I guess, Georgia Maloney.
She's their prime minister.
I get it.
But she's now in this standoff with Donald Trump.
And he said, Do they like the fact that your president, Georgia, isn't giving us any help in getting the oil?
I mean, do they like that?
He's asking this Italian reporter in a phone call.
I can't imagine that.
He said, I'm shocked at her, Georgia Maloney.
I thought she had courage, but I was wrong.
Have you talked to her about this?
The reporter asked, No, she just says Italy doesn't want to get involved, even though Italy gets their oil from there, even though America is very important for Italy.
Yeah, we spent a lot of money on those bases.
We're very important for trade.
She should want to get along with us, right?
She doesn't think that Italy should get involved.
She thinks America should do the job for her.
She should not be involved.
So this interview went on, and he made it really clear throughout what he's been saying like, Italy wasn't there for us.
We're not going to be there for them.
We're not going to be there.
All right.
Did you hear that, Georgia?
He had a few other things to say.
In this six and a half minute interview with Corriere della Serra, President Trump criticized the Italian leader, saying, She's not the same person.
Italy is not the same country.
Immigration is killing Italy and all of Europe.
He had once called her not too long ago, as recently, the reporter writes, as March 7th, as a great leader and a friend of his.
But now he's shocked.
Because she wants him and the US of A to do all the work.
And then he went on about immigration, and we're going to get to that too.
And he went on about Pope Leo, because Pope Leo doesn't know a darn thing as far as he's concerned.
And of course, don't forget what she said recently.
She came out and went after Trump and said, hey, you know, Pope Leo was fine to say that.
But again, why wouldn't she say that?
Because she doesn't want to get involved in this in any way, shape, or form.
Even though, as Donald Trump rightly points out, they're getting all their natural gas and their oil.
Right from Iran, right from the Strait of Hormuz.
It comes through there.
She should actually care.
She should want to do this, especially in light of her disastrous economy right now.
Watch.
We have the translation on the bottom, but I'll just say for those that are listening on Spotify or on Apple Podcasts, she's basically saying that she's upset that Donald Trump was calling out or comparing himself, I guess, to.
to God.
Don't forget.
Remember the tweet that had everybody all upset?
He said, no, no, I was just a doctor.
I saw myself as a doctor.
Well, she got really mad and the Pope was kind of mad.
Everybody's mad.
And they asked her, do you think he's going to apologize?
And she said, basically, she ignored that question because you know he's not going to apologize, right?
She knows that he's not going to apologize.
So instead of getting into that, she just said, listen, you know, I think that there should be this separation and the Pope is fine to say what he's saying and nobody should actually criticize the Pope.
Of course, the Pope is there in Rome.
The Vatican.
The Vatican has its interests, and she doesn't want to really take on the Vatican because then she's kind of taken on all of Italy, and maybe that's not so smart for her.
But he did say to Corriere della Sera, he said, The Pope doesn't understand that Iran is a nuclear threat.
He doesn't understand it.
He is not the guy that should be talking about war.
You know, they've killed 42,000 protesters this year.
He doesn't understand that.
Now, does he?
I mean, you'd think he would understand that because, in the desire to preserve human life, you know, you would need to.
Make sure that you do that.
Alphonse, thank you.
He's got a bit of a joke.
I'll just put it on the screen.
You guys can read it.
Chicken of the Sea.
What do you call an Italian submarine?
Chicken of the Sea.
You guys are funny.
Anyway, she is stiffening us.
She's leaving us with the tab.
She says, I can't afford it.
My economy is struggling because of energy prices.
Well, duh, lady, wake up.
I mean, if energy prices are this bad, don't you think if maybe you cooperated with us and we worked together, we could actually find a solution for all of this pretty darn fast?
But keep in mind, you know, she's got other things going on.
I mean, you look at your economy that's struggling and I would just say, hey, you got all these dependencies in these welfare programs.
Maybe you ought to take a big fat red marker pen to those and say, Ciao.
Okay.
Arriva, derci, Roma.
Come on.
I mean, look at this.
In the second paragraph, he actually takes her on in terms of what's going on with Europe overall.
He says it's going in the wrong direction.
He tells the Italian newspaper because you guys are destroying.
He said they're destroying themselves, eating themselves from within their immigration policies, they're destroying Europe.
It is no longer the same place.
I'm very sad to see it.
And they're hurting themselves very badly with energy.
They pay the highest energy costs in the world, and they're not even willing to fight.
For the Homoose Strait, which is where they get their energy.
They rely on Donald Trump to keep it open and the US of A, of course.
When we asked him, she said, if he requested any minesweepers from the Italians and Europeans, he said, I asked to send anything they want, but they don't want to because NATO is a paper tiger.
Okay.
And then he points out that they are, of course, struggling with this immigration issue, killing Italy, killing all of Europe.
And a new video is circulating, it's gone viral.
Today on X, where somebody is in Rome recently and they're saying this is Italy in 2026, and it doesn't represent the Rome, Italy that you know you might have seen 10 years ago, even six years ago.
I was just there six years ago.
Let's take a look.
Look at this, look at the states of the city.
This is Rome, guys.
Like the Casbah, it looks like in Bangladesh or something.
Look at this, guys.
Look at the state of this place.
Look at this, guys.
This is Rome.
This is Europe.
Does this look like Europe to you?
This is a sentiment.
I don't see a single Italian here, guys.
We have seen so much.
I am more Italian than any of these people.
I was in a particular area that is primarily migrants.
So, Italy, as you may know, has a lot of migrants from the Middle East, and there are plans to bring in many, many more.
She has committed to.
Georgia Maloney has committed to bringing in 500,000 new migrant entries in the next three years.
The thinking here is that they can bring in people that would be nannies, housekeepers, laborers, and help fill this void where they need more workers.
Of course, they're still struggling.
I can tell you, I was in Rome about six years ago.
It didn't look like that.
I was in Lake Como, which is interestingly where I was married many, many years ago.
My husband and I, before George Clooney found the place, you know that I wouldn't be going there.
Clooney, if I knew Clooney was there.
Anyway, so I was there over not last summer, was it last summer or the summer before?
Gosh, they're all blended into one.
Anyway, I'll tell you, they were so excited.
I was there recently over New Year's, also maybe about a year ago.
And I'm telling you, like people were excited about Maloney and most excited about Trump.
And they thought, well, she can really clean this up because we've got this problem with immigration and we really think that she's the answer.
So there was all this sort of groundswell support for her.
And now I look and I'm like, okay, wait a second.
So she's dissing Trump.
She's leaving us with the check.
And now she's bringing in 500,000 new migrant entries in the next three years.
Palermo Excitement About Trump00:08:06
I mean, it doesn't make any sense.
They've got all of these welfare programs.
And as I said, yes, their economy is struggling now, but it's been struggling.
And she thinks they're going to fill new jobs.
I talked to so many workers there.
One of the women who worked in the nail salon at the spa, at the hotel, great example.
She makes six euros an hour, six euros an hour.
And she's still living at home.
She said, everybody's living at home.
She was in her early 30s, very well educated, very well spoken, terrific English.
And she said, none of us can find jobs.
And she said, nobody's getting married because nobody can get a job.
So, you know, you live at home, you live at home off of your parents because, you know, these jobs are just not feasible.
So if you can't find a job, why are you bringing in more people and basically more liabilities, right?
Because they have a wonderful, I say that somewhat facetiously, social welfare system where they give you a lot.
They give you a lot.
They don't give us anything, right?
They're stiffening us with the check on NATO, but they're faced with increasing economic challenges.
Yes, because of higher oil costs, but what does that mean you do?
Do you bring in more people that you're going to have to support?
I don't think so.
Do you say F you to the United States, which is basically what we're getting?
I don't think so.
I think you actually want a solution to this.
And yet, this is what we're seeing.
We got Italy stiffening us right now.
We've got Spain saying, forget about it.
We've got France saying, you can't even fly over our airspace.
So, as a result of all of this, the president is saying, you know what?
You're cut off.
Forget about it.
You know, we don't need to have this alliance that's costing us so much money.
Not to mention, like, don't forget, the alliance is there basically to deal with the threat of Russia.
It was formed coming out of World War II and really kind of came into its own being as a result of the Cold War.
So, because of the Cold War, the thinking was we need to protect against the Soviet Union.
Well, you don't have the USSR anymore to protect against.
So, what are you doing?
You're creating controversies where you don't need them?
I don't know.
But you're paying a lot of money as a US taxpayer that's going to support 100,000 troops over there in Europe.
And it doesn't seem to be, how do I say, well received.
You've got Italy now saying we can't pay for this because we're not going to have any money.
Our economy is struggling because of these higher oil prices.
prices we were supposed to pay 5% of GDP.
We were all for that when she was running, right?
Just like she was for closing the border.
And now she's opening the border and she's refusing to pay her 5%.
It doesn't make sense.
I mean, at least this guy, you knew what you were getting, right?
The prime minister of Spain, he also just approved a plan for 500,000 undocumented migrants to gain legal status in Spain.
That happened last week, actually, while I was there overseas.
And, you know, the lines outside the.
The Madrid embassy for Morocco were significant, shall we say, significant.
So they're bringing in lots more migrants there too, all while saying, sorry, we can't do our fair share for NATO.
This is the most resistant member, if you would, Spain that I just mentioned.
They are extremely resistant.
But like I said, at least you knew what you were getting because the guy made it very clear from the beginning, unlike Georgia Maloney, who was kind of singing a different tune, they have refused our ability to use these jointly operated.
Bases in Rota and Moron.
You've heard me say this before.
And now we're looking to basically pull, we have maybe 5,000 troops over there, troops from one of these two bases.
They are out there calling the war illegal.
They're saying it's unjustified.
They're basically on Iran's side.
Okay, that's how we can put it.
Spain is on Iran's side.
So what is this NATO agreement?
Like, aren't we all supposed to kind of stick together?
And by the way, Spain, you need that oil too.
So, if you guys were smart, you would actually want to ensure protection for your oil in the future.
And you don't want an Iran that can threaten you with a nuclear weapon because it's a lot more easy to threaten Europe than threaten us with a nuclear weapon.
You've got all these NATO members, France and Italy, for example, that have not been very helpful.
Don't forget the Sigonella base there in Sicilia, in Sicily.
They wouldn't allow us to stop over while our troops had to, you know, they needed to make it like a pit stop.
And before they went on to Israel and they wouldn't allow it, you've got Turkey, which has been a miserable sort of a member of NATO from the start, and you've got a lot of these countries right now that seemingly, yes, are on Iran's side.
And so you're looking at this going, Well, gee, this doesn't make any sense.
So maybe, maybe Donald Trump needs to like look around for some new friends.
And believe me, he's looking, he's looking, and he's like, Well, Kuwait's sending troops and they're sending you know ships, and UAE's doing what they can, but maybe.
Maybe I do need to rethink these friendships.
Watch, here he is with Joe Kernan on CNBC the other day.
We can maybe count on more than allies in other parts of the world, but they're much better allies than NATO, that I can tell you.
The UAE.
The UAE, okay.
So he said they're better allies.
And that got a little bit of pickup, but not a ton.
I do think that you should listen to those words.
I mean, he's sending a message there to Europe.
You guys need to shape up, right?
Or we ship out and we get 100,000 troops and a ton of money.
I know we just spent a couple hundred million dollars there in Spain, which is relevant for their economy.
Okay, you're talking about, you know, I don't know, a three trillion dollar economy that, you know, that matters for them and it matters for these communities.
And yet you've got all of these immigration challenges that they're faced with.
You've got, you know, Italy, for example, bringing in these 500,000 new migrants.
You've got Spain doing something similar.
I want to just say, like, 500,000 in A country with a population of somewhere around 58 million people, that's actually pretty significant.
And it's like the size of Genoa, where, you know, Christopher Colon originated out of Colombo.
Or it's the size of, you know, maybe Parma.
You know, these are small cities, basically.
And so 500,000, Palermo, Palermo, forgive me, Palermo, Parma's far smaller, but Palermo is a good example, too.
You're talking about a whole city, basically, that you're importing.
It's roughly, you know, maybe about 1% of the population right now, but they already have roughly 11% immigration there.
And I guess they're trying to get up to Germany because Germany's at 21% migrants in terms of their population.
If you look at Belgium, wow, it's much higher there in Belgium.
I don't have the exact number, although I do have it for Brussels, which is the big city in Belgium.
In Brussels, it's 70% migrant population.
So this is what people are getting upset about.
And they're like, okay, you know, it's ruining our culture as we had it.
The EU itself is also ruining the culture.
And by the way, once somebody comes in and they're admitted, say, into Italy or into Spain, they can go wherever they want, anywhere they want, because they're part of the EU.
And this was part of the concern, right?
Remember with Brexit, it's very frustrating for the Europeans right now.
And so, how is this going to end?
I think it's going to end with the US putting in some rules and saying, okay, we're going to be the adults in the room.
You guys have to pay your bills.
You're not paying your bills.
Well, we're going to pull back.
We're not going to have the Sigonella base.
I mean, it's an important base, don't get me wrong, but maybe we scale back and we don't have as many troops and we don't contribute as much to the economy.
It's definitely creating a very tense environment and one that is going to have.
Massive implications, I think, for generations to come if he's successful in doing this.
Charlottesville Story And Qatar Ties00:12:39
And I think he will be.
Another big story that we've been talking about, and I led with yesterday, I just want to give you an update on this because Kash Patel was there on Fox last night, really kind of putting a fine tune on this story.
It's about the SPLC, the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is a very liberal group and at one point actually served a purpose, you know, back around 1918 when it was first created.
And, you know, eventually, The country, the United States of America, I'm not going to say we're perfect.
I know there's pockets of racism out there, but I am pretty sure that we're a lot better off than we were, say, back in 1918.
And things have changed a lot.
And we're, for the most part, a pretty fair place, a meritocracy.
I mean, or we were a meritocracy because right now, you know, your chances of getting into an Ivy League school, if you have a perfect score on your SAT and a 4.0, if you happen to look like me, forget about it.
So that has been, A particular challenge, obviously, in our country.
And so the SPLC is getting kind of annoyed, I guess, because it didn't find enough racism out there.
So it started creating it.
And this is an investigation that actually started after Charlottesville, because the allegation is that the SPLC actually sort of created Charlottesville, if you would.
They are the ones responsible for paying off an informant $270,000 to somebody from Unite the Right, which was a Organizer of that entire event, an organizer of Charlottesville.
I mean, this is truly devastating stuff and really, really concerning stuff.
You can see the numbers on the screen, all the money that was going to these organizations.
I want to go to Kash Patel again, speaking last night after this has all come forward and has all been made public about the investigation.
Watch.
Money doesn't lie.
The charity that supposedly fought the Klan funded the Klan.
The charity that supposedly fought neo Nazis.
Funded neo Nazis.
The Southern Poverty Law Center ran a methodical, calculated scheme to defraud their donor base of $3 million and lied to them and used an illicit banking structure system to create shell companies to hide their money and who it was being sent to, specifically for the reason to sow discord and hate into our society.
This is the ultimate definition of hypocrisy.
And if you look at the indictment produced by the Department of Justice and the FBI, you will see that these banking institutions tie directly.
The funding mechanisms in which the Southern Poverty Law Center used to fund at least eight hate groups they supposedly wanted to take out, but they were paying the very villains of our society they supposedly wanted to protect us from.
That's the ultimate hypocrisy.
It is the ultimate hypocrisy.
It's really bad.
It's really bad.
And you're talking about bank wire fraud.
You're talking about know thy customer, right?
The banks are supposed to know where this money is going.
And this money was going to some really, really suspicious places, all while they were like shutting down Eric Trump and Donald Trump and Junior's accounts.
Right?
All they were going after.
I mean, for goodness sakes, they labeled Charlie Kirk.
A right wing extremist and an instrument of hate the day before he died.
I mean, this is really, really bad, guys.
And there's going to be massive repercussions to come for this because they were basically trying to gin up all this country.
It's like, you know, we say China sometimes is doing this, and we look at China and, you know, we look at Iran, or how much are they trying to divide us?
Well, we don't even need to go that far because apparently we've got liberal organizations here that are actually trying to divide us pretty severely.
And this was one of them.
According again to these allegations, I will say it was a very profitable business for them.
Consider the money that they were making, the money that they were bringing in.
The year before Charlottesville, they had $51 million coming in the door.
And then what do you know, an $81.5 million increase?
That's like two and a half times the amount, up to $133.4 million just one year later.
So, you know, controversy sells, controversy pays, and they learned to milk that system, at least from what I've read in the DOJ's filings.
So there's going to be much more to come on that story.
This has brought up something else, something else that people are now asking because given that we know liberal groups were paying, or at least a liberal group was paying conservative right-wing nutjobs to try to stir up controversy,
a lot of people online today are asking the question of whether or not liberal groups are actually paying some conservatives that are influencers to try to divide MAGA.
So this has been something that very much is circulating today.
I kind of hinted at it yesterday.
Remember we were talking and I was looking at Tucker Carlson.
I'm trying to figure out like what he's doing and why he's doing it.
And, you know, I think it's pretty simple in some ways.
It's clicks and attention and money.
Okay.
Money, money, money.
And that matters.
And if you think through that lens for a moment, I mean, because I have said, look, I'm really lucky.
I'm in a very fortunate position.
And by the way, I don't do this for money.
I mean, it is a job, right?
But I don't do this because I'm trying to, you know, Bank 100 mil and get a sweet spot and cutter, right?
Like, I really don't.
I do it because I'm actually really committed to the news and I'm committed to you guys.
I'm committed to this country.
And yes, I make a living at it, but it's a little different than some people out there, shall we say.
And I think that he's got some challenges he's facing.
Don't forget, just a few weeks ago, he was all upset because he claimed the CIA was onto him and that they'd been reading his text.
With Iran.
So there's fear out there, and he tried to get ahead of this story somehow that he might be getting paid by foreign countries, which would make him a spy, I guess.
Now, again, he denies this.
He says, I haven't been paid by anybody in a foreign country, but I do go back to the Qatar example, and I'm just going to say, like, you don't go over there and do all those interviews and.
Attend a big junket like that, unless you're getting paid in this business.
Okay.
You just, you just don't like it's, it's, you know, you might do it for your hometown or for your alma mater, but you don't go all the way to Qatar without a paycheck.
And so the concern is that there may be some soft money going on.
Like he goes to Qatar and he meets all these people, and then people are like, okay, let's lobby him.
And then maybe he can, you know, we'll pay him in indirect ways and then he can.
Put out a narrative on his very popular podcast that gets a lot of attention that will actually be beneficial for us.
And so, whether it's a foreign country or whether it's a liberal group, I mean, there's a distinction.
I think that he could probably take money from a liberal group.
He should disclose it, obviously, but he probably could do that a lot more easily than taking money from, say, Iran, if that is in fact the case, or Qatar, which I got to assume, like Qatar, I mean, you know, again, you don't go over and do those things for free.
And so the administration may have been sensitive to this and they may have been watching this.
And he and his sources within Tulsi's office, don't forget one of the guys that just resigned in a pretty spectacular way, right, was his friend and was on his show the next day.
So Joey, Joey something.
So Joey, who is singing a very different tune than he used to, but he also married a woman who sings a different tune and works for a guy who runs a website that is definitely on everybody's site except for ours.
I'm just piecing it together for you all.
I would say that.
He got tipped off that they were looking into him because they do worry that he's.
A spy, you know, a gun for hire, a media gun for hire.
And I would say this if he is, he's probably a pretty good one because he's, you know, he's really tearing things up and it's unfortunate.
But again, if you're not guided by some other principle and the demons are coming to scratch you to death at night and you're kind of going off the deep end in more ways than one, I think Donald Trump said he needs a good psychiatrist.
You know, this is what's happening.
Oh, yeah.
Here's the president writing, it's easy.
Tucker's a low IQ person, always easy to beat.
Highly overrated.
He goes after a bunch of others saying, you know, one of the guys is totally bankrupt too, you know, and there's reasons for that, so maybe they do need the money.
There's a story actually out today I should point out about Tucker Carlson's family.
We know that the, the son, just either got fired or he quit.
We don't know exactly the details on that.
I mean, he should have been fired a long time ago from Jd Vance's office.
He was working there in the press office.
But I would say that it's important to remember does.
Does he need the money?
I wouldn't think he would, right?
Like, I would hope that he made enough money at Fox and he invested carefully and smartly and he's sitting pretty.
But there's another story today in the Daily Mail about his sister suing him because he has been getting $2,000 a month from his adopted mother's estate, which apparently he wasn't entitled to, according to her version of the story.
But I'm just like, it's $2,000 a month.
I know $2,000 is $2,000, but I'm sorry.
Like, the guy was making millions.
And trust me, he's definitely making millions now.
So, are you really going to like hold your sister up for the $2,000 a month?
I mean, is it that important to you?
I don't know.
But think of that in the context of what's going on.
And then don't forget what he and the brother, who also was part of this political machine, I guess the father was too.
He used to work for the CIA.
Wow.
This was the soundbite that's got everybody going.
We do have remedies for an out of control, megalomaniacal, you know, destructive president.
I think, you know, honest people who have that power should consider taking it.
So, looking back, being.
I mean, you and I and everyone else who supported him, you wrote speeches for him, I campaigned for him.
I mean, we're implicated in this for sure.
Yes.
It's not enough to say, well, I changed my mind or like, oh, this is bad, I'm out.
It's like in very small ways, but in real ways, you and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now.
Yes.
So I do think it's like a moment to wrestle with our own consciences.
You know, we'll be tormented by it for a long time.
I will be.
Tormented, tormented for a long time.
This is his big mea culpa, his big apology.
And now he's getting lots of press coverage and media loves it.
I guess they forgot the part about the demons, right?
Because you might question somebody's stability.
Just saying, just saying, given the earlier talk about the demons, et cetera.
But what can I say?
We don't have any proof of this.
I would imagine it is being looked into.
And he might have been on to something.
He said they were going to come and say he was in violation of being a foreign agent.
And perhaps they are still looking into that.
The rules are a little bit tricky, right?
Because if you're lobbying, that's one thing.
But if you're just getting out there on your podcast, that might be a little bit different.
So we'll see where this goes.
But I would say that there's a growing number of people that just are questioning where the allegiance is.
And many of us assume it's to the almighty dollar, if you would, the almighty dollar.
In fact, I have a friend who runs an ad agency who disclosed to me that someone who was a mutual acquaintance of ours was getting paid by Cutter because this person, by mistake, forwarded an email with Cutter saying, hey, you know, you owe us this, this, and this social media posts.
So the point is, it's happening.
It's happening out there.
And like I said, if you need a hired gun, He's probably a good one to get because he's got a really big reach.
But hey, me, I do things the old fashioned way.
We've got sponsors I tell you about.
Clinic Health Shows Nature Balance00:09:16
Balance of Nature.
These guys are great.
They've actually been with me for a long, long time.
And they have a wonderful, wonderful product that I take the fruits and veggies.
They come with phytonutrients.
Phytonutrients, if you don't know what those are, which I didn't, are natural compounds that your body uses to adjust, repair, and respond every single day.
Balance of Nature takes real fruits and vegetables and they run them through a tailored vacuum.
Cold process.
It stabilizes the phytonutrition so that you're actually getting what the plant has to offer.
Their whole health system bundles fruit and veggies and fiber and spice, giving you 47 whole food ingredients and their phytonutrients all in one simple routine.
They even have brand new freeze dried snacks that go through a similar process so you can snack and still feel good.
Whole food phytonutrition plus balance in nature.
It helps you fight the good fight, so to speak.
But I guess that would be P H Y T. BalanceInnature.com.
Use code WordTrish.
It helps me.
And it helps you because you'll get a better price.
Ilhan Omar is facing another investigation.
Another day, another investigation.
Oh my goodness, this one from her own state.
Her own state, Minnesota, is like, lady, we need to know what's going on because you had that whole feeding our future thing.
And then, lady, you actually came forward with a request for more money even after we went through the whole feeding our future thing, getting exposed.
Like, what was that about?
She wanted another million bucks for a restaurant owner there in Minneapolis who claimed he ran a.
Mental health clinic above the kitchen.
Unbelievable.
A reporter went there and checked it out.
I'm going to show you her stuff in a second, but also know that Ilhan's getting a little nervous because today, the New York Times was reporting this.
The Trump administration indicated that they're looking to denaturalize up to 400 American citizens.
They have a list and they're going down it and they're getting lawyers in all these different communities to go after these people.
Because they believe they are in violation of their U.S. citizenship.
Process.
Remember when JD Vance said that Ilhan Omar was, in his belief, absolutely guilty of fraud as far as her immigration goes?
Well, you better believe that she's on that list, okay?
I don't know that for a fact, but I'm telling you, the New York Times has just told us the New York Times saying, hey, hey, you know what?
The Trump administration wants to deport up to 400 people.
That have been naturalized as citizens.
They want to strip their citizenship away from them, which means it's most likely immigration fraud, which of course brings us back to one Ilhan Omar.
Ilhan Omar, right now in jeopardy of being deported because, according to the vice president of the United States, JD Vance, she allegedly committed immigration fraud.
So that could have been one of two things.
Either when she came here, it could have been that her father committed immigration fraud.
And that her citizenship is therefore illegal in its nature, or it could have been something to do with hubby number two.
Remember, hubby number two, and the allegation is that it was the brother.
It doesn't even need to be the brother, it could have just been flat out fraud in some way, like not a real marriage, just an arranged marriage.
And if they have evidence of that, it's game over for Ilhan.
I want to go to the former DHS secretary, one Mr. Tom Homan, who sat down actually at Turning Point last night.
With Benny Johnson and said this.
He was asked specifically about whether or not Ilhan Omar was about to be deported, and here's what he said Is the Trump administration going to go there?
The floor is yours.
The whole file is being reviewed.
A lot of smart people are on it.
Stay tuned.
Stay tuned.
Oh, yes, that's right.
I'm in North Carolina this weekend with Kent Strang.
You saw him on the show yesterday.
And it's first and freedom.
First and freedom 250.org in case you want to actually come to the event.
It's actually free.
So I encourage you to do that.
I encourage you very much.
We're going to barbecue.
There's like face painting for the kids.
If you live in Greensboro, North Carolina, you got to come, okay?
Come and see us.
So we're going to have a lot of fun.
I mean, America's 250th, right?
So the AFP is like throwing all these parties.
They are a wonderful sponsor of the show, by the way.
And I am thrilled to have a partnership with them.
And we're having birthday parties all year long for this great, wonderful country.
So if you're in Greensboro, On Saturday, stop by firstinfreedom250.org.
You will see myself and Kent, and actually a number of members of Congress, and you will see the senator from North Carolina, and we're all going to be there.
And I want to go back to Ilhan Omar rather than Iran.
We'll get to Iran.
We'll get to Iran.
But I want to go back to Ilhan because this is a big deal.
They're talking about right now actually taking citizenship away and deporting.
400 people who have gotten it already.
And she, I believe anyway, is likely on that list.
Likely on that list.
And, you know, she's nervous.
I think that she's getting the hint.
When you look at what's been going down in terms of her recent behavior with some reporters, it shows.
It shows, right?
We saw her with the Mike Lindell reporter.
We saw her ignoring reporters in the hallway the other day.
And now there's a reporter named Angela Roos who's out in Minneapolis and actually went.
To the restaurant that Ilhan Omar was still trying to secure a million bucks from.
Imagine that.
Like, after all of this, for a quote unquote mental health clinic.
So she went to the actual address where this mental health clinic allegedly was, and she started asking, Do you have a mental health clinic here?
I want to play you this tape because it's really interesting.
As soon as she mentioned Ilhan, everybody shut down.
Take a look.
And this is courtesy of Angela.
Watch.
The last time I was here, you said that I was stupid for asking you about your financial.
Oopsie daisy.
We're going to show you that one in a second.
Here we go.
Huh.
Okay.
We're going to get it up.
I think I can do it.
I think I can do it.
Here's one of my tech challenges, guys.
But, you know, I've learned to multitask, multitask.
Again, Angela Roos, R O O S E E, is her name.
And you can check out her whole video on Twitter.
But let me see if I can play this for you.
Here we go.
None of the owners are here.
Tomorrow.
You've only worked here for a couple of days?
Oh, you just got the job?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I need to help her.
She's with this.
I need to help her.
Come back.
Can I ask you just one question, real quick, though?
Because has there ever been a substance abuse clinic that operates out of here?
Clinic?
Yeah, like.
No, no, no.
No clinic?
No, no.
This place?
No.
Never.
No.
Because have you ever heard of Ilhan Omar?
Ilhan, she's our servant.
We don't know.
Yeah, of course.
So she was trying to.
Yeah, yeah.
So Ilhan Omar was.
What's that?
Don't video with me.
Oh, okay.
I won't video you.
But I just wanted you to know that Ilhan Omar was trying to send $1 million to this address.
Yeah.
I don't have any.
Yeah.
That's it?
Yeah.
I don't have anything for him.
Okay.
But I'm not enough.
Okay.
But do the owners work with Ilhan Omar?
I don't know.
He doesn't know.
Okay.
It doesn't sound like any clinic has ever operated out of there.
Crossroad Health Services say that they were inside of Suite 6.
They say they're excited to know they were awarded $4 million.
It's a good time to mention that they say the visit from Senator Amy and Mayor Jacob Frey was more than a visit, it was an investment.
Also, one time their address pulls up being out of Unit 100.
How many nonprofits organizations have they operated that they had to put number 100?
Yet sometimes the CCRC also shows up out of number six, just like the health services.
Yet on other searches, for some reason, they show up operating out of suite A, which is strange because what happened to units one through six and how do you go from the alphabet to numbers all of a sudden?
These people are using the 26 letters of the alphabet and numbers up to 100 to keep getting government.
Funding.
Also, my intuition is that Sagal Restaurant is just a letter change away from Sahal and the many other Sahal businesses.
Suspicious Winery Operations Explained00:02:59
Have a nice day.
Thank you.
You too.
I love this.
I love this.
I actually corresponded a little bit with her last night.
I was like, I just love that you went there.
I think it's fantastic.
By the way, like, where are other quote unquote journalists, right?
From all the networks?
Like, what?
All she did was look it up.
And I guess she's local to the area.
I think she is.
And she just decided to go and knock on the door.
Hello.
Like, you know, good old fashioned citizen journalism.
And, you know, you get a lot of people under fire for this right now.
Look what they're trying to do to Nick Shirley out in California.
Gavin wants to create a law to prevent any Nick Shirley's.
What, you're going to get like a badge from ABC News if you're going to go and check any of this out?
For goodness sakes, come on.
Anyway, the pressure's on Ilhan between the deportation threats, which are apparently kind of real because the administration has now told us they are.
Confident that she committed immigration fraud, and now we learn from the New York Times today they're actually seeking to deport as many as nearly 400 people from the country, denaturalize them.
I imagine she's on that list, and now we've got her snapping and swearing at reporters.
I mean, she's kind of feeling a little bit heat under the collar, but I mean, wouldn't you?
I mean, if nothing else, I'd be kind of disappointed that my hubby told me we were worth 30 million, and I found out we were just worth 98,000 to 98,000.
I mean, she's got a reason to be mad, but that's at him.
I have a feeling.
There's some really suspicious stuff that may still be uncovered.
Now, she says she's innocent, but she's not coming forward with anything.
She's out there like dissolving her winery.
The winery that I think Angela also went to the winery to try to find the winery.
And the winery was just nothing.
It was like some kind of place where they pressed grapes and I guess you could slap a label.
It was like white label winery.
I mean, there was no vineyard, there was no anything, right?
And here we just learned yesterday actually that she had filed.
Or rather, her husband's business partner with E Street Crew.
Easy Street.
Easy Street.
Sorry.
Annie.
You can, that musical, I know it still to this day by heart.
So the winery is now gone and she's losing it.
I just, the Mike Lindell reporter thing, I can't stop laughing at this one.
The last time I spoke to you, you said that I was.
Stupid for asking about your financial disclosure, but there's some discrepancies on there.
Would you like to explain that?
How you make a mistake on it?
I'm absolutely stupid for asking me anything.
I am?
Yes.
Well, what about the American people who are wondering how you make a mistake?
I have to explain to the American people.
What's the explanation?
I have given them the explanation.
Do you want to tell our viewers?
I don't want to tell you, judge.
How about that?
Okay.
Okay.
Have a good day.
Kamala Addresses Supply Discrepancies00:06:43
Yeah.
They're closing in.
You know, a lot of people's like, oh, you know, like, why hasn't this happened yet?
I'm kind of encouraged.
Dare I say that Pam is not there anymore?
I'm hoping that, like, Todd Blanch, he seems more like the real deal.
He seems more serious.
And it's a little less about, let me go on camera today and make sure, you know, I'm primed for the camera and let me do my job.
So I think that's an important step forward for this administration to have someone who's very serious.
I mean, I realize that this is a temporary position for him, but I'm encouraged given what I saw in the Southern Poverty Law Center.
And I'm encouraged, given what I am hearing from Tom Homan, that the investigation is indeed going on.
If you haven't subscribed, please make sure that you do.
Please make sure that you do.
If you haven't gone to my 76 research, please make sure you do because I want to help you invest.
And we've got some great portfolios there, three of them actually.
So go check those out.
They've all done incredibly well, as you can see on the screen American Resilience, Inflation Protection, and the Income Builder.
But I would say that, you know, we're living in very interesting and Brother Valdel times.
We're probably on the cusp of seeing NATO go away.
And we're about to look at a far more secure future for energy.
The president announcing today a continuation of the ceasefire there between Israel and Lebanon, and also getting some questions on Iran, one of which he did not appreciate.
One of which was thrown at him by a PBS reporter.
Who apparently is Jim Acosta's girlfriend, for whatever that's worth.
I think we know where Jim stands on things.
And he just didn't appreciate this.
She seems to think that he's ready to throw a nuclear weapon on Iran, which is obviously bonkers.
But he was taken back and then finally just told her what a stupid question, like, as only he could watch.
Sir, would you use a nuclear weapon against Iran?
You posted on Trump's social a few weeks ago.
No, a few weeks ago.
We don't need it.
Why do I need it?
Why would a stupid question like that be asked?
Why would I use a nuclear weapon when we've totally, in a very conventional way, decimated them without it?
No, I wouldn't use it.
A nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody.
Well, he's got other ways of getting at them.
This is called Operation Economic Fury because they're losing a lot of money.
We're talking about $13 billion a month.
I mean, he's totally choking off the economy.
And so I like it, right?
I like it.
We're taking out the stuff that they had there, we're decapitating them militarily, no help from NATO, of course, and we're strangling them.
Economically.
So at some point, they're not going to be able to take it anymore.
Okay.
They just can't because when push comes to shove, they need to get their oil to China.
And by the way, China needs that oil.
And China's not going to do a huge confrontation.
I mean, they're doing little things along the way, like the Tosca ship, right, the other day that was apparently sending over from China chemicals for ballistic missiles that didn't make it through because we stopped it in its tracks.
So China will do little things along the way.
But fundamentally, Iran cannot continue to exist.
And you know what's going to happen when their oil starts.
Just building up, building up, building up because they can't get it out and their supply levels are like extreme.
That's when push comes to shove and we win the day.
So I think, you know, strategically speaking, it will happen, which is why it's so stupid of Europe, if you would, to not join us in this fight, a fight that frankly is theirs too.
It's actually more important to them.
They're the ones that are getting more oil.
We got all the oil that we need.
We got tons of it.
I just talked again to Kent Strang just yesterday and we were talking all about this, right?
We could actually get more of it.
Could get California out of its own way.
We got tons of it right here, and we are becoming a major world exporter of oil.
So, oil would be in a much worse spot today if it weren't for our supply here.
Think about this, okay?
I just want you to remember can you imagine what would have happened if Kamala Harris had won?
Kamala Harris, if Kamala had won, we would have probably been looking at a nuclearized Iran.
Europe is useless, right?
Because they just can't figure their way out of a paper bag and their economies are suffering.
They just keep bringing in more people that can't sustain themselves.
And so their welfare programs are a total mess.
You would have then had Iran dictating what was going on in Europe and everywhere else.
And by the way, not only Iran, but thus China.
And don't forget, as we move into this new economy, which is so, so exciting, I'm not afraid of it.
I welcome it with open arms.
I think we're going to have a lot more robust economic activity because of it.
But we need to own AI.
We need to be front and center on that.
And guess what?
You need energy, lots of it, in order to own that space.
And so, again, I look at this and think what if, what if, had Kamala Harris won and Iran had gotten a nuclear weapon and then suddenly was far more powerful and was aligned with the likes of China, we would have been sitting in a bad spot.
Not to mention, I mean, Iran's then controlling the energy supply fully.
You've got Europe that just thinks it can sit home, right?
And that was actually, what's her name?
Ursula, right?
She was over there speaking.
I'll play that sound for you tomorrow at a recent event for the EU, the woman who's in charge of it all.
And she said, well, we should just, you know, find other ways to use less energy.
We should stay home, you know, turn off the lights, all these kinds of things, you know, take your ball and go home.
That's Europe.
So that's their attitude.
Iran would have been controlling things while Kamala.
Saying, okay, we have to shut down all our energy.
No more drilling here in the US of A, despite the fact that we got tons of ability to supply ourselves and others.
So I think we should thank our lucky stars that she is not in charge.
Yeah, that one was really, really obvious.
Really obvious.
The Democrats, they need to get their act together.
They need to pick better candidates.
And by the way, they need better policies.
Their policies are just really asinine.
That's quite obvious.
