Trish Regan critiques European leaders like Macron and Merz for opportunistic posturing after the U.S. naval blockade crippled Iran's military, leaving them with only fishing boats while oil stockpiles grow. She mocks Macron's "ruse" to gain street cred via the Charles de Gaulle carrier and highlights Italy's Meloni refusing U.S. base access despite Vatican influence. Regan further attacks the WHO as a Chinese political arm that failed during COVID-19 and the Andes Hantavirus crisis, noting the Trump administration halted funding in January 2025. Ultimately, she argues the U.S. secures energy and AI futures by prioritizing national interests over failing international commitments. [Automatically generated summary]

Europe Reads Tea Leaves00:14:15
Welcome to the big show, everyone.
It's sort of like Europe just read the tea leaves.
I guess they figured out what was going down or what was about to go down.
In other words, we're winning this thing and they're just showing up, what, trying to do some kind of victory lap?
I mean, it reminds me of a couple of weeks ago.
Remember when I was over in the UK and Keir Starmer and Macron decided to have a meeting on the day that it really looked like things were shaping up to be A-OK?
And they're like, we're going to have a meeting about it to figure out what we're going to do in the future.
Well, that's what they did today.
You actually have Macron out there trying to claim that he's fixing it all.
He's sending his carrier, the Charles de Gaulle carrier, straight into the Strait of Hermuz to make sure that they can escort ships through.
As we learn, conflict averted?
Looks like they may have a deal.
I mean, France, you can't make this stuff up.
Welcome to the program, everyone.
I'm Trish Regan.
Make sure that you subscribe, share, like, all that good stuff.
If you agree with me that Europe needs to just.
Grow up.
Like, please subscribe.
France, what are you thinking?
Macron, I know you're on your way out.
I know this is it.
This is your last big hurrah, but you were a little late to the party.
Let's just say.
And I guess you're so freaked out right now, given that Donald Trump is ghosting y'all and pulling all his troops from NATO, that now you're finally maturing.
Dare I say maturing and deciding to do a few things on your own?
France going totally rogue here.
They're saying they're sending in their big Charles de Gaulle carrier.
With all kinds of planes on board to help escort other ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
And oh, Macron is getting really sharp elbows.
He's really swinging them around, saying, and this is what you need to do.
And we need to call off this blockade.
I mean, trying to tell us what to do.
Good luck with that, buddy boy.
And then trying to tell Iran, you know, you're going to have to come to some kind of deal.
I find it kind of funny, actually.
It's like, where have you been the last few weeks?
You just suddenly show up and now you're going rogue and doing it all solo.
I guess better late than never.
But you know what?
It's all a ruse.
He's just trying to get a little bit of street cred because he failed spectacularly when it actually mattered.
And now it looks like mission accomplished.
And I said, I hate to do this, but we have to make an excursion down to Iran because we can't let them have a nuclear weapon.
Look, and this is very simple Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon because, as tough as they are, we want to keep them alive.
We want to keep all of you alive.
Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and they won't.
And they've agreed to that, among other things.
You heard that.
They've agreed to that, among other things.
So now, finally, Macron's like, okay, I'm a big cheese French and all.
And I'm going to send my Charles de Gaulle.
Big carrier strike group.
I mean, they got lots of stuff.
They get the Raphael fighter jets.
They've got the E2C Hawkeyes.
They got the escort warships.
They got the helicopters.
And they're bringing it all in.
And let me tell you, it's en route as we speak.
Literally right now.
He had a big phone call, he said, with the president of Iran earlier today.
I'll brief you on that one too.
Let's take a look at this map.
They are leaving the Mediterranean Sea.
They're going down through the Suez Canal and then through the Red Sea.
I believe they're in the Red Sea as we speak.
The expectation is that sometime in the next three or four days, they will then be going through the Gulf of Aden and be positioned right outside the Strait of Hormuz, just in case you need them.
You know, better late than never.
Here we are, world.
We're France.
And we decided after the U.S. did all the hard work and we gave the middle finger repeatedly to the U.S., including not allowing the U.S. to fly even over our precious, precious airspace, we decided we were finally going to go for it and send over our big ship.
Oh, and then we were going to make all kinds of demands on top of it.
Guys, listen.
Thanks, but no thanks.
We don't want you screwing anything up right now.
And you certainly have.
Great capability to perhaps do that.
Now, we've got 5,000 troops coming out and possibly a whole lot more out of Germany.
And this may be why, dare I say, Macron is freaking out and he's looking at his legacy, you know, because it's almost over for the poor guy.
It means he's going to have to spend all his time with Brigitte and get slapped around.
And, you know, it's not going to be fun.
He's going to have to find a new purpose in the world, right?
So, you know, he decided to make a call this morning.
The translation isn't perfect here.
This is his tweet.
I read it in French, and I speak a lot of languages.
French is actually not one of them, although I can pronounce it pretty well because as a singer, we had to do that.
Anyway, the translation is not perfect.
It says, I have just met.
He actually just called the Iranian president, and he expressed his deep concern over the ongoing escalation and condemned the unjustified strikes against all the people in the UAE, you think?
That's nice of you.
All parties must lift the blockade.
This is the important part, okay?
All parties that would be the U.S. included.
I mean, for some reason, little teeny little frog, Frenchman.
I almost said frogman.
The little French guy thinks that he can push us around after being completely absent.
I mean, if it were up to him and the rest of his European cohorts, Iran would be a nuclear country by now.
So he said, All parties must lift the blockade on the straight.
Are you kidding me?
What do you think is working?
The blockade.
Because guess what?
Their stockpiles are going up every single day and they can't take it because they have no money coming in and no oil going out.
So, guess what?
The blockade is actually quite brilliant and we're going to keep it on as long as we need to keep it on.
He said all parties must lift the blockade of the strait without delay and without conditions.
Yeah, right.
My colleague over at 76 Research, Rob, sent me a meme today of Gladiator.
If you guys have watched Gladiator, you know when the guy comes in and he's like, have I missed the battle?
And they're like, you missed the war.
Sort of like little Macron right now.
Have I missed it?
What can I do now?
Oh, I'm going to tell everybody they got to stop their blockades right now, right now, right now.
And, you know, we're not going to until it's absolutely clear they will do what we want.
Anyway, it doesn't stop him from ranting.
Everybody's got to stop their blockades.
The multinational mission that France and the UK, because you know, Kieran and I, my best bud, who's also on his way out, by the way.
He may not know it yet, but he, trust me, is not going to be able to survive.
We have set up all that we can, and we're going to help restore confidence.
It's sort of, I mean, honestly, guys, it's sort of poetic.
They are showing up so late to the party, and they say the return of calm in the Strait will help advance negotiations on the nuclear issue, the ballistic issue, and the regional situation.
How stupid is he?
You realize what Macron is trying to do here.
This is important to understand.
Macron.
Is actually dumb enough to think that we should give up all leverage.
I mean, any little teeny bit of leverage we might have had, he just wants to throw it right out the window because he thinks that you should just end the blockade.
And when you end the blockade, that somehow everything will be hunky dory again.
I mean, not a smart guy.
I mean, in multiple ways.
The wife pick included.
Just saying.
I mean.
It's special.
All right, here he is getting a big article in the New York Times.
Macron wants U.S. and Iran to open straight while they negotiate.
Emmanuel Macron, the French president, hopes the Strait of Hormuz can reopen even before the U.S. Iran war formally ends.
His plan has many pitfalls.
I mean, even when the New York Times is calling you out, Macron, I don't quite know what to say.
And I would remind you, we're getting a deal done.
You're facing an opponent right now in Iran that has refused to submit.
You seem optimistic now that you may be closer to a deal.
What's different about this moment now than in other moments where a deal has seemed close?
Well, why do you say they refuse to submit?
You don't know that.
You don't know what's going on.
They were firing on U.S. ships a few days ago.
Yeah, a few days ago is a long time ago.
In the world of war, a few days ago.
No, they want to make a deal badly.
And we'll see if we get there.
If we get there, they can't have nuclear weapons.
It's very simple.
But what's not to submit?
So they had a navy with 159 ships, and now every ship is blown to pieces.
and lying at the bottom of the water.
They had an Air Force, lots of planes, and they don't have any planes.
They don't have any anti aircraft.
No, they don't.
They don't have any radar left.
Their missiles are mostly decimated.
They have some, they have probably 18, 19 percent, but not a lot by comparison to what they had.
And their leaders are all dead.
I think we won.
Now it's only a question of, look, if we left right now Iran, it would take them 20 years to rebuild.
You would call that We're in good shape, right?
Fantastic.
We're in good shape.
And now we're doing well.
Now we have to get what we have to get.
If we don't do that, we'll have to go a big step further.
But with that being said, they want to make a deal.
We've had very good talks over the last 24 hours, and it's very possible that we'll make a deal.
So, you know, now that we're all ready and rolling, France is going to come to the rescue.
I'm sorry.
I mean, this is just such a.
A failure move of sort of epic proportions.
Like, do not forget this moment in time, okay, guys?
Do not forget this.
This is history in the making.
We're living on the front lines of history right now.
You can say, I remember the day that we appeared to have solved this entire crisis, hopefully for a generation to come.
And little Macron comes out of the woodwork waving a white flag because that's what this is.
Everybody's going to stop the blockade and we're going to send our big Charles de Gaulle ship through and we're going to.
Fix it all.
I mean, he's been talking to his European friends a little too much.
They've been over in Armenia.
Take a look there.
There's the whole bunch of them.
You know, I had no idea Georgia Maloney was so tiny.
I mean, she's smaller than Zelensky.
Look at that.
Do you see her?
She's over there on the right next to the guy in the red tie.
I mean, it doesn't help that she's standing next to someone who looks like an Amazon next to her.
And then poor little Zelensky right there on the other side.
He might be about 5'2, which I guess that puts her at 4'10.
I don't know, but they are tiny people.
I mean, he was an actor.
Here's Macron.
I mean, Macron.
thinks he's the bomb all of a sudden.
He's over there in Armenia and he's posting all these videos of himself kissing kids, babies and toasting champagne glasses.
Like, Macron, what are your aspirations?
I'm just curious.
Like, is there a future beyond this?
because you're done in politics.
You said you're not going to run anymore.
And I realize this is your last hurrah.
So you're building montages as though you are one of my 16-year-old daughters.
They love building those things.
They really do.
I mean, they dance around and they put all these pictures up together.
I don't let them post them, but they spend a lot of time editing these.
It's like he's a 16-year-old girl editing his little montage of his trip to Armenia.
Is kind of, dare I say, a bit self involved.
Now, why is this happening right now?
I do think it has something to do with his total fear over troops being withdrawn from France.
And don't forget, we spent a lot of money there.
We spend between two and five billion in Italy.
We spend a similar amount in France, possibly more.
We spend a lot of money.
You have somewhere around 30 some odd thousand troops in Germany.
The president said, we're taking out 5,000.
And guess what?
I may take out 5,000 more.
So, Macron's answer, guys, It is to demand that our blockade stop.
Like our blockade, honestly, it's like brilliant.
It's working.
The president said as much today, and I know it's working because they're freaking out.
Those supplies, they are growing, growing, growing by the day.
And when they have all that oil supply and it's running over, they're just basically taking a half a billion dollars a day and going poof right outside the window.
They're just throwing money away.
They might as well be throwing it straight into this Strait of Hormuz.
They got nothing right now.
There's no economy.
There's nothing because why?
We were smart enough to put up the blockade and we got a Navy that can do it.
And the president knows this.
And Macron wants to take away our power?
What?
People don't want to make a deal very much and we'll see whether or not they can make a deal that's satisfactory to us.
We have it very much under control.
The blockade is unbelievable.
The Navy's been incredible.
The job they did is like a wall of steel.
Nobody goes through.
In particular, the Iranians, they're not getting anything through one way or the other, so they're out of business.
And we'll see whether or not they are agreeing.
And if they don't agree, they'll end up agreeing shortly thereafter.
So that's the way it is.
That is the way it is, okay?
We got the best blockade around.
And so what is Macron trying to do?
He's trying to come up with an easy answer.
He thinks this is going to fix it.
What?
Because what does he want?
A nuclear?
Unbreakable Naval Blockade00:04:17
You know, I got to tell you, I sometimes think his ambitions are kind of sus.
Don't forget, there was some big summit thing he did, I want to say back in January, where he was touting the importance of all these other countries being aggressors against both China and the U.S.
So I think he's trying to play like all sides of the coin.
He somehow thinks he's important.
Little France.
I mean, their economy is not even as big as California's.
And he's trying.
He's trying.
And he thinks that somehow.
Together with the UK, you know, they're really tough.
I'm just going to say that the entire EU, all combined, all of those countries together are barely half our GDP.
Okay.
They got like 17 trillion or somewhere around 32 trillion.
So I'm just saying they're not very important in the scheme of things, but you know, in his head, typical Frenchman, he thinks he's a big deal.
Yeah.
We've known that type before, have we?
No.
Well, and these Europeans, I'm going to tell you, they really kind of crack me up.
They really, really do.
And, you know, he's not the only one.
You should see with the German chancellor, Freddy Mertz, Friedrich.
But we like to go with the I love Lucy, Fred Mertz kind of thing.
Anyway, we're going to get to Fred and we're going to get to Georgia because, you know, the Pope is going to be taught a lesson, I think, by Marco Rubio.
But first, a quick note from one of our great sponsors.
So many compliments on this show.
Oh, oopsie daisy, there we go.
Wait, where am I?
Oops, oops, oops.
I'm trying to actually, I don't know if you could see me or you couldn't on that.
I'm trying to tell you about a skincare product that I like and one of our great advertisers.
You guys have been so kind and so wonderful.
I love all the compliments you give me.
I'm actually going to put this up here because a lot of people have said to me, Trish, what do you use?
And I actually use this wonderful, wonderful, wonderful lotion.
And it's a great company.
They send me a lot of stuff, right, in this business for free.
And I try it out and I take it pretty seriously because I don't want to tell you about anything that I don't actually like.
And this stuff is great.
I actually really, really like their skin products.
And I've been using it, I want to say, since, I don't know, before Christmas for sure.
So I really enjoy it.
It's called OneSkin.
And you should check it out oneskin.co.
forward slash Regan.
I tell you that because you're going to get 15% off if you use code Regan.
Make sure you use code Regan.
And it's just a great product.
Men and women can use it.
But, you know, I really encourage it because it's actually got some pretty cool proprietary stuff, including something called an OS01 peptide.
You know, I'm not as up on the science, but I can tell you what I do know.
And I know moisturizer and this stuff actually like penetrates your skin.
I mean, it really does because a lot of them just sit on top of your skin.
And then, when you are me and you try and put your makeup on, well, it pills and it gets gross.
And there's more information than you needed to have.
But anyway, point being, this stuff doesn't do that because it actually penetrates your skin.
It really does give you that moisture that you need.
And it's great because, you know, as you get older and you have visible signs of aging, huh?
Not that I have that right.
Anyway, this stuff actually really makes me feel great.
It makes my skin feel healthy.
And I think I look better as a result of all that.
So it's certified safe for sensitive skin.
Products are free from 1,500 harsh and irritating ingredients.
It's actually important.
I let my girls use it too, so my kids use it.
And it's dermatologist tested, and I'm not going to give them anything that's not really great.
One of my daughters has very sensitive skin, and this thing is actually certified by the National Eczema Association with the seal of acceptance.
So that's been a home run for us.
So, as a whole family, we like this.
And yes, it's got some wonderful science.
It was born from a decade of this science with OneSkin's OS01 peptide.
It is proven to target the visible signs of aging, helping you to unlock your healthiest skin.
Go to OneSkin.
OneSkin Anti-Aging Science00:15:23
DOT CO Forward slash regan.
You get 15 off with code regan r-e-g-a-n.
And they're going to ask you after your purchase, how did you hear about us?
And make sure you tell them right here on the Trish Regan show, because every bit helps.
We want to get some credit for the show um, so please support the show and tell them we sent you 200 tariffs.
Macron is actually looking at some real problems for himself over there in France because the president is threatening to put a 200 tariff on all that wine and champagne.
You know He really likes drinking it.
We just saw him, as I was saying, over there in Armenia.
And, you know, when he was done kissing all the babies, he was toasting champagne.
I guess French champagne.
Well, if you want to drink French champagne in the US of A, if Macron continues down this path, I suspect it's going to cost you a lot more.
Because this is what he just did to Germany, don't forget.
The president actually slapped a 25% tariff on all autos.
Germany's singing a different tune today.
Amazing how quickly that works, right?
I think Trump kind of loves it.
Anyway, here he is a couple of months ago talking about his board of peace that he wanted Macron to join.
And a reporter said, Macron says he's not going to do it.
So the president said, oh, yeah?
Well, we've got something up our sleeve for him now, don't we?
Do you have any response to President Macron saying he will not join the support of me?
Oh, did he say that?
Well, nobody wants him because he's going to be out of office very soon.
So, you know, that's all right.
What I'll do is if they feel like Costell, I'll put a 200% tariff on his wines and champagnes and he'll join.
But he doesn't have to join.
If he said that, you're probably giving it to me a little bit differently.
But if he actually did say that, but as you know, he's going to be out of office in a few months.
So like me, he said, well, as you know, he's going to be out of office.
So therefore he's going to be a little bit less relevant.
That's why I think he's kind of striking out in a big way.
He's trying to go out with a hurrah, like make himself look good in the history books.
It's not really happened for you, Emmanuel.
You know, I mean, you're going down in history all right because none of us can forget what we saw on that plane.
You know, she showed him.
Anyway, he might be subjected to some heavy tariffs because this is in fact what Germany saw.
Germany is actually singing a new tune today because Germany is getting a little bit nervous about all the tariffs coming its way.
25% on the auto sector alone, which, by the way, I've told you is like 6% of the GDP.
And you're seeing a lot of experts coming out now and saying this could actually send Germany into a recession.
So you get Fred Mertz.
For all the I Love Lucy fans out there, this is Friedrich Mertz.
I can't help but roll the R.
I told you that story.
I learned how to do it.
And any chance I can, I know you probably don't really need to roll it that way.
But Freddy, Fred Mertz, is in a bit of trouble.
So today, or actually, this was yesterday.
It's just making the news cycle, though.
Today, Mertz decided while in Berlin and hosting the Portugal prime minister to come out pretty hard and say all these things like, okay, Iran, you have got to do it.
Okay, that's some language.
No wonder I forgot it.
Anyway, Merz is there in Berlin and he was speaking or hosting, I should say, the prime minister of Portugal.
And he made a bunch of statements in what I'm showing you right there, including saying, okay, Iran is going to have to come to the negotiating table and stop playing for time.
Wow, okay.
Huh.
Then he said they're going to have to end their military nuclear program definitively and forever.
Wow, okay.
I'm telling you, it's like they're drinking the MAGA Kool Aid all of a sudden.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Or maybe now that they're being told they're going to have to defend themselves on their own two feet.
Maybe, just maybe, they've got some skin in the game and it's kind of a different thing.
They also are saying in Germany, this is Mr. Meritz, no more attacks on Israel or regional partners.
They're strongly condemning Iranian strikes on the UAE civilian infrastructure.
Finally.
And Germany says it's ready to help secure the Strait of Hormuz.
Wow!
Amazing.
What a difference a day makes, huh?
Or a couple of days?
I mean, this was the same guy who claimed that the U.S. had just been humiliated.
Yeah, this is what he actually said.
And of course, right after that, like within 48 hours, the president said, Oh, yeah?
Well, you want to see humiliation?
We can really show you humiliation.
You're going to get stuck with a 25% auto tariff on all your German automakers.
So, guys, I hope you bought your Mercedes already because.
It's going up in price.
And then you get this one.
The New York Times saying, well, you know, Germany totally miscalculated.
Oh, and the FT said the exact same thing.
I mean, when you get the FT and the New York Times to get to Fred Mertz, I think you got a problem.
How Germany's Mertz torpedoed his plan to contain Donald Trump.
It's because, you see, he went back to his hometown in Sauerland.
Sauerland.
Fred Mertz from Sauerland.
Decided to go home and tell the kids that Tehran was humiliating the US of A.
And Trump's response was oh, yeah, we took 5,000 troops, and guess what?
We may just take a few more.
We're going to cut way down and we're cutting a lot further than 5,000.
Thank you very much.
Okay, thank you very much.
Well, Freddie heard him loud and clear.
And just to jog your memory, this is what got Freddie in all the trouble in the first place when he decided to go home to Sourland and say this.
He said, At the moment, I can't tell what strategic exit the Americans are pursuing, especially since the Iranians are obviously.
Negotiating very skillfully funny, or perhaps very skillfully refusing to negotiate, he said.
And then he dug in further, they're letting the Americans travel to Islamabad, only to send them back home empty handed.
An entire nation, mr Merch said, is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership whoa, especially by these so-called revolutionary guards.
Well gee gosh wow, tell us how you really feel.
You know, you say we're being humiliated.
I don't really think we're being humiliated, because did you see the stock market today?
All right, this is kind of a rather major arbiter of things.
And we've got the SP above 7,300 now.
Okay, this is an all time record.
I hate to remind you of this, guys, but we are looking at an all time record.
So I don't think we're actually being humiliated at all.
But I will tell you this.
And the president said this in a news conference today.
He said he had risked the market going down, he thought maybe 25%, but it was a risk he was willing to take.
You know why?
He was willing to actually.
Do what was right.
I mean, you guys aren't willing to take any risk.
Freddie Merch, you think that?
You really think that they humiliated us?
Well, we're up one and a quarter percent on the Dow today, one and nearly half a percent on the SP 500, NASDAQ up over 2%.
And we're moving closer to talk.
So sometimes in life, forgive me, that was also supposed to be a reminder for you guys to go check 76 Research.
That's my other company.
I have the Trish Regan Show and this channel.
And I also have my labor of love over there, which are my model portfolios that I work on diligently with my dear friend.
And colleague Rob Horton, and they've all done amazingly well.
So I want you to be able to partake in that action, 76research.com.
But my point just being that the president himself was risking a whole lot.
He's risking the midterms.
He's got every Democrat and every media organization, apparently all of Europe, stacked against him.
And yet he's doing this.
Why?
Because it's the right thing to do.
It's the right thing to do for the US of A and our future.
It's the right thing to do for the world.
And you know what?
We have to control the future of energy.
We just have to, guys.
All right?
What do you think Venezuela was about?
You know, the left that wants to say, oh, you know, now you get Delcy Rodriguez in there.
You know why we get Delcy Rodriguez in there?
And I know Delcy.
I've interviewed her several times.
We've got Delcy in there.
I know everybody on all sides of this because she gets the job done.
And what is the job?
The job is to keep the oil flowing.
The Orinoco region, I've been to it.
You got tons of oil in the ground.
Proven oil reserves that actually are bigger than those in Saudi Arabia.
And it's right here in our Western hemisphere.
Well, guess who wanted that?
The Russians.
Guess who wanted that?
The Chinese.
The Iranians were hanging out there.
Too well, we're the only ones with the technology to get the stuff out of the ground.
We needed to be there, and we weren't allowed to be there.
All the Chavistas wanted us gone.
Well, we tried doing a deal with Maduro, apparently, he was receptive at various times, but his wife Celia was in the way.
I have that on very good sourcing.
She's a lawyer by background, I know her lawyers, and they were frustrated with her as well.
I don't even know if I'm supposed to say that, but I'm just telling you because I know the whole scoop.
And we tried in the first Trump administration.
We tried in the Biden administration, and then we tried again when Trump came back in, and these people just were not budging.
I guess Celia was getting a few too many handbags from the Russians and the Chinese.
And by handbags, I think I mean gold.
Okay.
So we decided we had to end that for the benefit of our hemisphere.
So don't kid yourself.
The timing is very deliberate.
We took care of that first.
We also took care of the Panama Canal.
And now we're over there.
We're going to get Cuba next.
Mark my words.
Okay.
Because this is a realignment of the globe.
And he is taking these chances because it is the right.
Thing to do.
When I say AI is important, I'm not kidding.
AI is the future.
And you can sit there and bury your head in the sand and say, I hate it.
I don't like it.
Well, guess what?
It's here to stay.
And if you allow China to take over that and to dominate that, where are we?
Nowhere.
If Kamala Harris had won and she had shut down all the energy opportunity here in the US of A and she allowed Iran to get the nuclear weapon, you know what would have happened?
China would have been laughing all the way to the bank and would have controlled the world.
And I mean the world because they would have controlled AI.
And whoever controls energy is going to control AI.
You see how these things are locked hand in hand.
So, thank goodness that didn't happen.
And you want to talk about taking risk?
That is what Donald Trump did.
And none of the Europeans were willing to do it.
Not one single one.
And now, when it's all said and done, Freddie Merz decides to say, hey, you know, Iran, you're going to negotiate.
Macron says, I'm sending in the Charles de Gaulle ship.
I mean, you've got to be kidding me, guys.
Yeah, Maria, I think what we saw and certainly what the Iranians saw with Project.
Forgive me, I wanted to introduce that.
That's Chris Wright, who's our energy secretary, and he's explaining why this is so monumental right now and why this is so important, how the Iranians finally woke up and apparently the rest of the world.
Because you know what?
You had a leader.
It's about time America had a leader.
The world needed this at this moment in time.
Let me go to Energy Secretary Wright, speaking with my former colleague, wonderful woman.
You should watch her show.
I really, you know, they're my former network.
But, you know, it's all water under the bridge.
This woman's great.
Maria Bartiromo, listen.
Yeah, Maria, I think what we saw, and certainly what the Iranians saw with Project Freedom, is one way or the other, the United States is going to have free flow of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
It can be in an agreement with Iran, or it can be without an agreement with Iran.
And I think the fear that the United States' military is going to open the Strait, whether Iran wants it or not, made them realize.
If that's true, we've got nothing.
We have no remaining leverage.
Maybe we should get more reasonable and get back to the table with the United States and see what we can get out of this.
We're going to have to give up our nuclear program.
We're going to have to stop terrorizing the Middle East.
Hey, maybe the 90 million people in Iran can find a way to a better life.
But the only leverage they have has been impeding flow of traffic through the Straits of Hormuz.
And Mike Worth is right.
They've been successful at that so far.
But we can change that if we need to do it unilaterally.
Yeah.
So, I mean, we sort of prevented them from having any opportunity by putting that blockade in.
Now, you say, well, why didn't we just start with the blockade?
Because we had to actually get rid of all the bad stuff, right?
You had to get rid of all the uranium and all the nuclear stuff.
You had to actually take out their military, their navy, their army.
Again, none of this is being done without a grand plan.
And I know that because I look at what went down in Venezuela, I look at what went down in Panama, and then.
Followed by a very systematic takeout of the leadership, round one and round two.
And we don't know where the Ayatollah number three really is.
We don't.
I mean, he seems to be rather incapacitated.
So you've got all those religious mullahs getting taken out.
Then you've got the army completely disintegrated, the navy, like nowhere to be found.
They get some little tiny fishing boats, and we're taking those out too.
So, why didn't we do the blockade first?
Because it may, you know, hey, if they had kept it open, we would have happily let them keep it open.
But because they decided to go there, because they decided to do this, because they decided to wreak havoc on the rest of the Persian Gulf, they certainly have no friends there and they certainly are paying the consequences with us.
And so finally, Europe is kind of recognizing this.
Mr. Mertz, you heard him yesterday and over the weekend kind of trying to apologize as well.
On German PBS.
Yeah, it's like the equivalent of PBS.
Here we go, except that the American president holds a different view on these issues than we do.
But that does not alter the fact that I remain convinced that the Americans are important partners for us, the most important ones in the North Atlantic alliance, and that we have a shared interest in Europe and America working together to end this conflict and then, for example, to end the conflict, the war in Ukraine, to provide joint security guarantees for Ukraine.
Common Aim Against Iran00:04:01
We have already achieved a great deal together in this regard.
We have a different view of this war.
That is no secret.
I am not alone in this.
We have a common aim, and that aim must be Iran must not be allowed to acquire the atomic bomb.
And that is what we are working together to achieve.
Okay, Freddie, again, better late than never.
Better late than never.
ARD is the name of the network there.
He said, I have to accept the American.
President holds a different view of these issues than we, but that does not change the fact that I remain convinced that the Americans are important partners for us, the most important partner for us in the North Atlantic Alliance.
So he's like, please don't leave us, please.
But I think we're going.
I really do.
I think that this is the moment of truth.
The president has said it over and over and over again.
He's given them every opportunity to show up and deliver.
And when he needed them, they weren't there.
They just weren't.
And now, when it's all looking fine and dandy, you get the French finally sending their Charles de Gaulle carrier.
You get the Germans suddenly.
Throwing their weight around.
I mean, I would say at least they're not making stupid demands like Macron.
Macron saying, yeah, everybody's going to get rid of their blockade.
Yeah, Macron, you should stick to your French profiterals and lovely wife.
Okay?
Like, just stay out of it.
Really.
Or maybe just keep singing.
He's so proud of his singing that he posted on.
Twitter.
Yeah, that was another one.
That wasn't in the montage that he made up like a teenage girl, but he did sing.
He said he was singing La Boheme.
Well, I know La Boheme by Puccini, of course, and this was not La Boheme.
So it was some kind of other pop tune or jazz tune, and he was having just a blast.
Okay, Macron, stick to the singing.
Hang out with your wife in her golden years and leave the negotiations to us because we're winning.
You look what just happened with the EU.
Take a look there.
German car companies getting hit with that 25% tariff I've been telling you all about.
It looks like it's going to shave maybe three-tenths of a percent off of economic growth over the next 12 years, leading German think tanks, economic think tanks, to say it is more plausible that they could be looking at an economic downturn.
It's all happening as the alt-right movement in Germany starts to gain more and more momentum.
That's in part because of all the migrants that they've brought in.
People are like, aha, I can't take it anymore.
I don't think this place looks like Germany anymore.
I got to get myself over to Graz, Austria.
It's where I studied when I was younger.
That was when I actually spoke German.
And I studied music over there, singing.
And I remember everybody wearing those dirtles, they call them, you know, those little, like, think about like the German beer girl.
That's what everybody wore.
I was like, this is cool.
I actually bought myself two of them because I'm like, if nothing else, it'll be a cool Halloween costume.
Anyway, people would like get on the bus dressed in these.
It was very like a traditional outfit.
And they all wore them, especially the older generation.
And I can't even imagine what Graz must look like right now because that's over in Austria where they've had similar issues, right?
Lots and lots of changes.
You look at Germany right now.
And it is very different, very different.
And it's because they brought everybody in and they continue to bring everybody in.
And this idea that somehow, I don't know, maybe they're still guilty about World War II.
They should be, of course.
But that's not the answer.
You know, say, I'm going to bring in every Tom, Dick, or Harry, or Mohammed, and Ahmed, and Mohammed.
Forgive me, I don't know enough Middle Eastern names to continue on with that one.
But you get it Tom, Dick, and Harry.
They're bringing them all in.
And it's not working.
So, yes, this guy's got political trouble.
And now he's looking at a potential recession because he really ticked off one Donald Trump.
Life Insurance for Parents00:02:57
I'll tell you guys, you know, it's not that hard.
You got to just do the right thing.
Really.
I mean, you know, politics be damned.
I realize you need to get elected and all that.
But look at the risk that the president is willing to take.
And when gas prices plummet, and trust me, they will, hopefully right before midterms.
Americans are going to say, gee, gosh darn it, weren't we lucky?
Weren't we lucky?
Listen, you know, we hope we can always be so lucky.
You've heard me tell you my story about my friends.
Some of you have heard this before if you listen to this show in high school that lost their dad, not very lucky, freshman year, right before school started.
And I used to carpool with them.
And it was just a horrible story.
It was an absolutely horrible story.
And I, you know, I remember just feeling so terrible.
And they were starting high school.
And we carpooled together, and their mom was just left with absolutely nothing.
They wound up getting scholarships.
I went to a private high school, and they wound up getting scholarships to go to school because of their dad passing.
Their dad didn't have any life insurance.
And like it's always stayed with me.
And so, you know, I'm a mom, I've got three kids.
You know, it was really important to us as parents, right, that we had that life insurance.
And I think it was just important to me as I remembered the story of these two kids.
They just, Sean and James were their names, and it's uh, it sticks with you, it really, really does.
So, anytime there's an opportunity for me to talk about insurance, I love talking about it.
There's like no insurance product that I don't like in all seriousness.
I really, I mean, I just and I think that that colors your sort of view.
I've been very lucky and very fortunate, and knock on wood, hopefully, stay lucky and fortunate.

Online Life Insurance Quotes00:15:15
So, we're talking about a lot of Europeans that are up a.
Creek without a paddle.
You got Mertz.
Poor Friedrich.
Freddie Mertz.
I love Lucy.
You've got Macron, who's just always been a disaster.
You got Keir Starmer.
I mean, there's just no hope for the guy.
Really no hope.
And then we've got Georgia Maloney, who seems so promising.
I mean, I loved this woman.
I loved her.
You remember when she was there, I think it was at G7, and they had this shot of Biden, and Biden was so preoccupied, Like the very elder man that he is with the balloon off to the side and he wanders off and all the other guys.
Like you know, Macron is primping for the camera.
Where's my lens, you know, let me get in the shot.
And she sees this.
And she went over and she rescued him and I thought, what a lovely woman.
And then she seemed so conservative and so pro-trump and I traveled over there and did a lot of reporting, spoke to so many Italians there and they loved her.
They just loved her.
And now I'm looking at her, I'm like, Georgia, where'd you go?
I don't know.
I mean, it seems like our friends have kind of deserted us.
Maybe she'll come around too.
I don't know.
I mean, everybody else seems to be reading the handwriting on the wall.
And Donald Trump has made it clear, you know, Georgia, we don't need to be there.
Hey, Spain, we don't need to be there.
All you guys, Germany, the rest of you, we don't need to be anywhere.
And we're not going to continue paying this kind of money anymore.
Thank you very much.
You heard him.
They use the Strait of Hormones.
We don't.
We don't use it.
We don't need it.
We have a lot of oil.
We do.
Well, wait a minute.
And they use it, we don't.
And you would have thought they would have said, we would love to help you.
But they didn't, which I think was averse.
And Germany, I mean, he's doing a terrible job.
He's got immigration problems.
He's got energy problems.
He's got problems of all kinds.
And he's got a big problem with Ukraine because they're in that mess.
Oh, yeah.
And he criticized me for doing the whole thing with Iran.
But I said, would you like to have a nuclear weapon in the hands of Iran?
He said, no, I don't.
I said, well, then I guess I'm right.
He didn't have any answer to that.
I think they all want the same thing a non nuclear Iran.
The problem is, none of them are willing to do the hard work to get themselves there.
And they're all opportunists, political opportunists.
Georgia Maloney doesn't know what to do because the Pope is criticizing Donald Trump, and the Pope. is trying to say that we shouldn't be at war with Iran.
I mean, who is this guy?
Did he not notice that there were 40,000 people that have been massacred as a result of this administration, this regime there in Iran?
Like, how is that okay?
I mean, forget the oil for a second.
Forget the Strait of Hormuz.
I mean, let's just talk about being a common, decent human being.
And we certainly are not looking at good human beings over there in Iran.
So, there are a variety of reasons why you should care about this, obviously, from an economic and hegemonic standpoint, but also from just a humanitarian standpoint.
And I thought the Pope was supposed to care about lives, right?
Apparently not so much.
I don't know what's going on with Pope Leo, but Georgia is not willing to call him out.
No, Georgia is apparently deferential to the Vatican.
You guys keep saying they got to her.
They got to her.
The Pope got to her.
Somebody got to her.
Here she is knocking Trump for what he said about the Pope.
She's saying, she's being asked, do you think Trump might apologize for his comments on the Pope?
And she says, you know, no.
I don't think that is what he's going to do.
His statements in particular were haunted.
Her solidarity, solidarita with the Pope, she said, I frankly wouldn't be comfortable in a society where religious leaders do what political leaders say.
That's not part of this world.
And that's why I disagree.
And I told you so.
Okay.
So, you know, she's not letting us use our own base.
In Sigonella, you know that she's not allowing for us to just, you know, use this pit stop on the way to help her.
Like, this helps her, okay?
Like, 30% of her oil comes from that area, liquefied natural gas comes from that area.
You'd think she maybe want to help just a little bit, and instead she knocks the president on the Pope.
I mean, she could have just stayed out of it, right?
Well, now they're going to send in the big guns.
Marco Rubio, diplomat that he is, is going to be traveling to Rome.
He's actually en route to try to smooth things over given this nasty clash.
I don't know why we should care that much.
I mean, listen, I get a lot of issues with the church.
I really do because to me, you have that much money there at the Vatican.
You're that big a power source.
Like, it's just not right.
It's just not right.
And you shouldn't be trying to tell the U.S. president what to do, especially as it relates.
To Iran, especially given that they've killed 40,000 people, especially given that if we don't actually take them out, they're going to kill a whole lot more, okay?
For goodness sakes, let's all wake up, okay?
Wake up.
Let's talk reality.
You can live in your ivory tower or in the Vatican and have a very different view of the world.
But here's the way it's going to go down it's kind of us versus them.
And if they get the nuclear weapon, they're not going to be afraid to use it, which means, Vatican, you're going to go poof.
Just like that.
And if you don't recognize that, I don't know how we're going to help you.
I wish Marco all the luck in the world.
It's interesting, by the way, a total aside, that they're sending him and not JD Vance.
JD Vance had said some things, and he's kind of a newly reformed Catholic, and I think they figured Marco Rubio might be a better play here.
We'll see.
But Georgia's getting the message too.
Georgia was also in Armenia.
I didn't see her posting songs.
Singing.
I mean, they had that little snafu.
There was some picture.
She looked kind of good, actually, dressed in lingerie on a bed.
It's not her.
It's not her.
It's a total AI thing.
And she handled it really well.
And she called it out and said, look, this is wrong because look at what people can do.
Anyway, that was her little issue over there in Armenia while Macron was posting pictures of himself singing and kissing babies and toasting champagne glasses, all while preparing to tell the U.S. to take their blockade and shove it.
Anyway, Georgia is.
Seeing the handwriting on the wall as well.
Here she is about 48 hours ago there in Armenia.
Look, I can't tell you what will happen.
As I've said many times before, we know that for some time now the United States has, shall we say, been discussing a withdrawal from Europe, which is why I believe we must strengthen our security and, let's say, develop our capacity to respond in this regard.
That said, it is clearly a decision that does not depend on me and one that I personally would not support.
But there is one thing I would like to make clear.
Italy has always honored its commitments.
Italy has honored every commitment it has undertaken.
It has always done so.
We have done so particularly within NATO.
We have done so even when our direct interests were not at stake.
We did so in Afghanistan.
We did so in Iraq.
And so, let's say, I do not consider some of the things that have been said about us to be fair.
Not least because, within the Atlantic alliance, no one has ever appeared in a formal setting to ask the Allies' support regarding the choices they were making.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, Georgia, we're not going to ask your permission.
We did ask your permission to go to Sigonella, and you turned us down.
So we don't forget things like that.
But no, we weren't going to ask your permission.
That would be like, you know, asking Congress's permission.
We didn't ask Congress's permission either, because unfortunately, there are too many leakers out there, quite a few leakers, and those leakers are a problem.
And by the way, do we really need to ask your permission to use the base that we single-handedly support?
We got a big relationship with Italy, guys.
Militarily speaking, so many of you actually know it.
I've looked at some of your questions.
You guys are asking, Do I respond to questions in the chats?
Yes, I do.
I actually see them.
I'm trying to talk and throw you elements, and I do read them in real time.
So it's called multitasking.
I do see all these, and I appreciate you guys and all your perspective on this.
But I would just say this you know what?
So many of you have actually even worked, worked in Italy at some of these bases.
And I love hearing the perspective, and I see that in the comments.
And sometimes after the show, I always read the comments and I see what you guys say.
And so, you guys really know how important you are if you've been over at any of these bases, how important and critical you are to the economy.
We are spending two to five billion dollars per Pentagon and congressional reports on just personnel.
I mean, those are hard costs.
So, that's none of the sort of multiplier effect on the economy that Italy gets from us.
And this is relevant.
I mean, it's relevant, okay?
These are real dollars and they're important for Italy.
And she's basically willing to throw all that away because, oh, Guess what?
She's not doing so well in the polls right now.
But that has nothing to do with us and everything to do with the fact that Georgia Maloney made a decision to say, welcome 500,000 migrants in, 165,000 this year to be exact, I guess because the Europeans were pressuring her and threatening her with possibly getting kicked out of the EU.
That wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, honestly, Georgia.
I might take a look at that one.
Threatening her with that because she's running up the tab.
Her deficits to GDP are way out of whack and they're not in line with what.
She should be at as a European nation as part of the EU.
So they have that kind of in their back pocket.
Perhaps they're threatening her with that.
And so she's stuck having to bring 500,000 migrants in.
Well, the Italians don't like it.
So that's why she's lowering the polls has nothing to do with just suddenly, you know, taking on Donald Trump, although she may think it helps her on the peripheral.
I don't know.
Because suddenly her mainstream media loves her too.
Trump criticizes her in the media, and the media loves her in Italy.
They used to hate her.
It's like a worldwide TDS phenomenon.
It's really remarkable.
I'm always stunned by it.
I really am.
And, you know, you've got other problems in Spain.
Have you seen this story on the World Health Organization and Spain and that cruise ship that was down in Argentina and is now trying to dock in the Canary Islands?
I mean, I get it.
You know, the Canary Islands is like, we don't want this.
So I just say, like, where's the WHO?
Oh, you're in the WHO that was all over COVID, except when they needed to be over COVID, when they needed to actually get in there and do something and maybe say, hey, nobody from China should be leaving because you got COVID.
Coronavirus.
Instead, they lied to us over and over and over again to the point where we just had to take all our money and say, you know what?
Not happening, guys.
We are not going to participate in anything like this anymore because it's flat out fraudulent, really and truly fraudulent.
Well, today we got word that this cruise ship with 23 people, rat virus and all, is stranded and it's trying to make its way to the Canary Islands.
Spain is apparently like trying to manage it, deal with it.
Canary Islands themselves, they're like, we don't want this thing coming near us.
Understandably, because you know, you've got 23 people that have been exposed to this.
23 cruise passengers have been returned home, and actually, probably another 20 or so are on board.
So, 23 have gone home, and one of them has tested positive quite seriously for this HATA virus.
It's really pretty scary, and now they're pulling people off.
Let me show you this is what was tweeted out today by Tedros.
Okay, Tedros, who's over there happy as a clam in Switzerland, he is the head of the World Health Organization.
You know, this is the organization that we used to give tons and tons and tons of money to until we realized they were really just a political arm for China.
China's had to actually step up to the plate because we're not giving them any more money.
No, we ended it.
As soon as Donald Trump came into office, he said, I'm done with these people.
I am done with the World Health Organization.
And I get it because I'm looking at what's going on with this cruise ship right now.
Where are they?
I mean, they should be evacuating everybody and they should be following up and making sure.
I think it's like one to eight weeks that you're exposed to this.
You're like very, very dangerous.
Like, where is the World Health Organization in terms of dealing with this?
They're like the Fed.
You know, they're always late.
Fed should cut rates.
They're not cutting.
We'll see.
You know, we're getting a new Fed chief.
We'll see where that goes.
Anyway, he tweeted out all of these photos today.
So he's active on his little Twitter account and he said they're on it.
They got a little fishing boat coming in to.
To the rescue, they took some passengers off today.
You can see there, um, and so they're keeping you updated with that.
This had a virus, it's actually really bad, it's it comes from rats.
And apparently, they believe that some people got it while on an excursion of some sort in Argentina in the Ushaya area, which is very, very remote.
It's actually near Patagonia.
I've actually done a lot of hiking, um, years ago in Patagonia, Chile, and so this is now becoming a real.
A real concern.
So they think that they've tracked down the source.
They believe that they found it there.
Here's the New York Post reporting on it today.
They think that they have found that source.
And it actually was not a rat or a mouse that got onto the cruise ship.
They had looked on the cruise ship and they didn't find it in a cruise ship called MV Hondius.
And they believe these passengers actually got it either during an excursion when they were out hiking or perhaps before they got onto that cruise ship.
So it's pretty unnerving.
It's apparently quite deadly.
Cruise Ship Pest Source00:06:17
Like 40% of the people that are exposed to this actually die.
It kind of bummed me out because I like cruise ships.
And I've been hiking in Patagonia.
So I'm like, oh boy, oh boy.
I would say this like, everybody should calm down.
It'll be fine.
You know, we don't need to, I think, go into one of those panic moments right before midterms.
I'm sure they would love that.
I think it'll be all right.
But I think it does, once again, sort of show you how lousy the WHO is.
I mean, the WHO should be kind of all over this.
People stranded.
Can you imagine what it must be like to be on that boat stranded, like heading towards the Canary Islands, hoping to god you don't get sick?
I mean, they might very well run out of provisions soon.
There's a lot of reasons for people to be concerned.
Just some information on how it's actually transmitted, this particular Andes Hantavirus, which comes from the Andes mountains there in the Patagonia region of Argentina, and it may also be in Chile, i'm not sure, but this specifically is believed to have come from Argentina.
It's actually transmitted person to person.
So you breathe in some of this stuff, right, from the mice or the rat that's contaminated.
And if you touch your face or you breathe it in, any dust that contains that rodent waste, then you can be infected.
And then that can be transmitted to another person, especially if you're in close quarters.
In the case of this particular boat, we know that the doctor wound up getting it.
He's a British doctor.
One of the men that was on that boat, he got it and died, died while on the boat.
And his wife got off the boat and didn't feel well.
And then she died.
And now we know somebody from Switzerland has returned home to Switzerland and he is in very, very serious condition.
So it's pretty concerning.
I just want to point this out about the WHO.
Like, if you ever have any doubt that we shouldn't have been giving all that money to the WHO, remember this, okay?
We were given all kinds of money.
We were like the bulk of their funding.
We contributed 15 to 18% of their entire budget.
One country, okay?
It was like NATO.
We're doing it all yet again.
And you might think that we might get a little bit of a thank you, just a little.
No, they were on China's side, China's side only, because apparently China was pushing for the guy I just showed you to win.
So there was like political capital at stake.
And so what did Donald Trump do his first day in office when he came back January 2025?
Hmm.
Bum bum.
Halted all WHO spending.
No way, no how, no more.
All right, because we're sick of having to shoulder the burden for the rest of the world.
And the WHO was of no help, let's be honest, during COVID, no help whatsoever.
They kept trying to say, oh, this couldn't possibly have come from a lab where they were dealing with, experimenting with coronavirus.
I had heard in February of 2020 through, I got a few deep state sources of my own, through sources that were China experts, let's say, although they don't like China very much, but deep state China expert sources.
I also had sources in the administration.
And what I had learned was that there was this lab and it was believed that it had come from the lab.
I was also told it was not believed to have been deliberate.
So You know, let's hope it wasn't okay.
Let's let's let's gonna go with this, but I have no reason to doubt my sources.
They they certainly hated China enough, but they said it came from the lab, they did not believe it was deliberate.
But this was out there in February of 2020.
Like, if I'm hearing it right, granted, I'm a good reporter, but still, I was hearing this, and for whatever reason, it wasn't really making the mainstream.
It would hear right now, you know, like I get to talk about whatever I want.
I don't have producers and middle level management and Fox business trying to say you can say this and you can't say that, and you know.
Going through my script two minutes before air and like taking a red line to it and saying, Okay, here you go.
I don't have to do that.
In fact, I don't even have any scripts.
It's just you and me, baby.

All of this is just important to remember because they did not do the right thing by any stretch of the imagination.
You had US government funding as a result being canceled by the Trump administration by executive order.
And we are no longer giving them a dime.
They even tried to come back to us because I guess during the last Biden year, he didn't pay the bill and it was like $240 million.
And we're not paying that either.
Okay, we're not paying that either.
So I think that that's perhaps a good thing, right?
In other words, it's symbolic of everything that's going on right now.
The WHO is failing, NATO is failing, and we are not in a position to be carrying and shouldering the burden.
For the rest of the world anymore.
We need to look out for ourselves.
And in looking out for ourselves, we are looking out for the world.
You know, God helps those who help themselves.
You cannot sit there and bury your head in the sand like Pope Leo wants to do and say it'll all be okay and we're going to leave it up to God.
As much as we love God, right?
God empowers us to do the right thing.
We elected Donald Trump, and miraculously, he survived multiple assassination attempts.
Perhaps because God does have a plan.
But if we don't take part in that plan, if we don't step up and do the right thing, then that plan can't be realized.

And so President Trump has taken enormous, enormous risk by saying, I am willing to do something about Iran now while I can.
The Europeans don't want anything to do with it until.
It looks like fait accompli, and then suddenly, woohoo, whiz bang, they put on their pretty dress and they show up at the party.
Well, we don't really need them then, and we don't need to be giving this much money to them anymore because they've just shown their stripes.
We know who they are now, so we can rely on ourselves and all that money that we were spending over there.
Heck, we can find a lot of better things to do.
Heck, we'll build the ballroom, right?
We'll have a safe ballroom so we can have a Washington correspondence dinner and not worry about all the things we obviously have to worry about now.
I voted for this, says Texas Gidget.
