🚨 LETITIA JAMES’ OWN PROSECUTOR JUST TURNED ON HER — Bombshell Could END Her Career
59m 57s
A major political scandal is unfolding involving New York Attorney General Leticia James, who faces allegations from one of her own prosecutors, Daniel Weisenfeld, that her office illegally used taxpayer funds to target Donald Trump and his associates. The email, which was swiftly deleted, details a coordinated effort by James and her Brooklyn bureau chief to pursue criminal investigations without legal justification, violating laws against political vendettas. This undermines her credibility and raises serious constitutional and ethical concerns. Concurrently, the release of the Fang Fang files reveals Eric Swalwell’s alleged connections to a Chinese national through illicit campaign donations and internships, with the Justice Department declining prosecution despite clear irregularities. The documents suggest a systemic pattern of political cover-ups within the Democratic Party. In a broader geopolitical context, Donald Trump is intensifying efforts to pressure Canada and potentially secure Greenland through strategic economic and military influence, as Canadian leaders resist tariffs that could harm key industries. Meanwhile, Iceland’s rejection of EU membership—driven by fears of economic vulnerability and fishing industry harm—creates new strategic openings for U.S. influence in the Arctic. These developments collectively highlight growing political instability, media distrust, and a shift in international power dynamics, with figures like Trump and James at the center of a growing narrative about accountability, transparency, and the limits of political power.
oh leticia james we knew something was gonna happen eventually i mean sometimes these things
just take time but i'll tell you this is not good for her this is not good for her at all right now
we'll talk all about that plus it's also not very good for eric swalwell right about now because
the fbi has actually just this afternoon released those fang fang files i'll tell you it's it's not
a good look for him but you know it's really not a good look for the democrat party i will explain
why alberta canada may be one step closer to either going independent or joining the us of a
donald trump making them an offer that would be very hard to refuse right about now we get
breaking news on the ballroom it can move forward wow wow wow wow wow but we begin today's show
make sure if you haven't subscribed to the trish regan show i'm trish do me that favor
we begin today on one tishy my message is simple no matter how powerful
you are no matter how much money you think you may have no one is above the law
no famous last words right famous last words because leticia james is now actually in a lot
of trouble this actually could end her this is something that came out over the weekend apparently
one of her own prosecutors went totally jerry mcguire on her and he published an email accusing
her of all kinds of stuff and you better believe there's going to be some follow-through on this
one so again i'm trish do me that favor we begin today on one tish my message is simple no matter
in her office that worked in the brooklyn office is claiming that basically she partnered up with
the bureau chief there in brooklyn and they went out determined to find anything they could on
donald trump or anybody associated with donald trump and they used taxpayer funds to do so now
you may be saying well gee this is like kind of obvious like we knew that already trish right yeah
of course we knew that we all assumed that and she kind of made it clear and evident with some
of the things that she was saying
but it's a whole other thing now for us to have something an email from someone in her office
sent out to 2 000 people statewide saying that yeah that's in fact exactly what was going on and
that's illegal guys that's illegal so here's here's part of the email that got released to
a newspaper up in albany no one uh as far as i can see has seen the the entire world the
newspaper has but nobody has published the entire email i'm going to share with you some excerpts
he started off i told you full jerry mcguire saying the best part about having fu money
is being able to tell the truth without fear of consequences so here we go
okay he writes this is daniel weisenfeld in the brooklyn office
one of leticia's own prosecutors writes bureau chief chamiso maswazway
okay
good luck with that name okay i forgive me i i'm sure i mispronounced it but we'll go with
chamiso directed him quote to find and pursue crimes committed by specific individuals and
organizations affiliated with donald trump oh okay specifically targeting trump himself
true social hp hewitt packard they had that doj merger that was was you know apparently
the bind administration didn't want to go through with jupiter and and it goes out
was saying without having a credible reason for targeting
these organizations and individuals so according to daniel weisenfeld who was a guy who came from
like a white shoe law firm fancy law firm in new york city and decided i guess because you know he
felt so politically inclined to go to the the office of the da and work on these business
transactions i mean she was trying to actually i think go after his businesses and anybody
that was associated with him from a business perspective because she wanted to bankrupt him
he's saying you know she teamed up with her buddy there who's running the bureau shami sham shamaso
maybe that's how you pronounce it shamaso maswazway the bureau chief in brooklyn and the two of these
ladies teamed up to basically try and take out donald trump now this is again let me reiterate
going to be a problem because it's actually illegal according to daniel they write bureau chief
shamismo
shamso maswazway and uh directed him to find and pursue crimes committed by individuals and
organizations affiliated with trump okay and she didn't care if there was any reason to do so or
not um but we knew that right like remember she was trying to actually bankrupt him she wanted to
go and basically put a nice big red ribbon around trump tower and say i got it i got it right she
she told us four days after a judge ordered donald trump to pay 355 million dollars for a decade of
life in prison new york attorney general leticia james says she's prepared to do everything she can
to make sure the former president pays his fine including she told us seizing the buildings that
bear his name if he does not have funds to pay off the judgment and then we will seek uh you know
judgment enforcement mechanisms in court and we will ask the judge to seize his assets
that's all she wanted to do and then she's like if i can't seize his ass
i'm going to seize the assets of anybody who worked with him and then she's got this daniel
weisenfeld that she's telling to go out and do this and he's like are you kidding me i mean the
guy's like a real lawyer right so he's like this is not really legal and he decided to just go out
with a bang because he'd had enough and this is a big deal because there's certain felonies here
felony class a felony class e that could be prosecuted because you cannot use taxpayer
dollars like this i mean if it's a legitimate investigation that's one
thing but these were not legitimate investigations and she's like you go out there on a wild goose
chase so let's go back to daniel and his pretty explosive email if you believe he writes um trump
is using the doj attorneys to prosecute his enemies and further his political interests
you should find it equally troubling that tish james is doing exactly that same thing you know
because i'm sure that her buddy shemiso doesn't think that that biden's
group would ever do that or that her bestie leticia would ever do that but daniel's like oh you better
believe she's doing it he says also i ask that you not serve as tish's personal attorneys by
targeting her political enemies instead i hope you choose to prosecute crimes and find the
individuals accountable rather than targeting individuals and then finding crimes which is
exactly what she was doing and he goes on in the email to say you know all the things that we
could be working on like maybe going after you know the anti-semitism that's happening in in some
of this the the temples going after the you know the violence any of these other things no she's
ignoring it all she's ignoring it because she just wants to get trump and again you may look
at this and say well so what we knew that but i think that this takes the whole thing a step
further because you have michael cohen as well saying basically like they had a gun to his head
you got to come forward with stuff she was out there looking for something and he's saying she
didn't have anything she just kept looking but she promised us that she would i mean here she is
remember she got all revved up at like rev sharpton's thing i'm like oh he's been giving
her some little tutoring over there on the side teaching her to preach and you want me to sit in
my seat and stand idly by and allow this craziness to happen you can come after me if you want
but you elected me to stand up you elected me to use the law you elected me to go to court
you elected me to continue to challenge this administration you elected me to stand up for
the least of god's children you elected me to continue fighting on and i will fight on
and i'll fight and i'll fight now even if there's nothing to fight i'm gonna keep what is she gonna
do when donald trump's not there anymore i'd like to know i guess she's gonna just
keep fighting fighting fighting you should take on maga i mean i remember when the view was starting
to take on ron desantis because they thought that ron desantis was going to be the next guy
these people just want to fight and they're going to go after anybody who is not them okay and that
that's a problem so she's now got somebody weisenfeld who's making a massive allegation
well what did she do she ran out and had that thing deleted so fast it's gone gone from the
servers thank goodness some people screenshotted it and got it over to the paper
so they were able to publish this in albany so she's kind of embarrassed about the whole thing
now she's being asked questions and they're saying this is a personal matter or a personnel matter
let me let me double check that because she's got she can't say what is she supposed to say
right now she's on her heels here we go here's the article in the times albany
and uh again this guy just went nuclear on tish james over the weekend i love it right
finally somebody's standing we need more people in her office doing exactly this new york
prosecutor claims leticia james's office directed him to target trump agency-wide email sent by
assistant attorney general to hundreds of colleagues it was actually thousands was quickly
deleted from the state computer servers oh yeah she deleted it as fast as she could and she's like
you know this doesn't concern you doesn't concern anyone but remember she you know she was going
after michael cohen she told us that she had to find something right she was going to go after
trump that's what she came up with and she was going to go after trump and she was going to go
campaigned on. I mean, I don't think she would have raised any money if she hadn't gone out there.
get them, I'm going to get them in her like, you know, Rev Sharpton wannabe voice. But you know,
it's funny. It's funny because things are coming, dare I say, full circle. Famous last words,
Letitia. My message is simple. No matter how powerful you are, no matter how much money you
think you may have, no one is above the law. No one is above the law. All right. So, you know,
injustice in the end. I mean, it may take a little time here, but it seems like things are coming
around full circle for a tissue paper. I think it's going to end her. I really do. What do you
think? You agree with me? I mean, come on. And like I said, it's a class A felony in some cases,
class E felony in some cases, depending on how it's prosecuted. If nothing else, it should end
her politically because she's taking your hard earned money and she's going out there on this
wild goose chase just to try to hurt Donald Trump. But it shouldn't surprise you. I mean, this is
what this team is all about.
I mean, you've got Kathy, Mamdami and Letitia James all basically working against New Yorkers.
And that's certainly what it seems like. You saw the headline. We talked about this.
New York sheriffs are suing Hochul over this. And by the way, Letitia James over this anti-ice law
that bans government cooperation. And you got Tishy and Kathy saying, oh, so what?
Well, the president has seized on this. And he's soon going to seize on this.
Kathy Hochul out there in a hijab over the weekend, begging for votes,
trying to speak to male Middle Eastern men in New York, telling them to vote for her,
all dressed up in her fancy headscarf. Some people would say she has completely succumbed,
right? I mean, to their way of thinking and their way of working. You know, the whole black
pantsuit.
She might as well just put on the whole full burqa at this point. Kathy is in trouble. All
right? Like her polls are not looking good. Her polls are not looking good. And now Donald Trump's
got her on a big one. He's accusing her of releasing 7,000 criminals back into the state
of New York. And she's doing so because she wants to basically fight the federal government.
Fight the federal government every step of the way. Here she is just the other day saying,
you know,
ICE can't be allowed to do this, that, and the other. But she's probably in violation,
I would guess, of federal law at this point. ICE can no longer use locally funded police
to carry out the Trump administration's aggressive immigration agenda.
Local cops cannot be ordered to aid an event. An out-of-control agency.
Out-of-control agency. I would actually argue you get an out-of-control political system that
allows for Letitia James to use taxpayer dollars.
To just go after Donald Trump or anybody associated with him just for the H-double-L of it,
right? And now her own prosecutors are turning on her. Yeah, I would say that's a problem. I'd
also say it's a problem that you're releasing nearly 7,000 people back onto the streets.
I mean, that's not okay. Now, she would argue, well, you know, they're not violent criminals.
And the ones that were really, really violent, we helped with. Although we're not going to help
anymore.
That's why you actually have the Rensselaer County Sheriff's Office suing her. And then,
oh, AG Letitia James turned around and sued him. She'll probably tell all her investigators to
find what you can on this guy, too. This is the county sheriff who spoke on Friday on Fox
explaining what this new law really meant for New York.
What the law does is it limits our cooperation with 287G as far as entering into contracts.
It also allows, it takes away the ability,
the ability for a sheriff to house in ICE inmates, and that it also has created the
Office of Immigrant, Immigrant Trust. And we find that extremely troubling, that the governor and
the attorney general have created an agency within the attorney general's office to investigate
sheriffs, just to make sure they're in compliance with the law.
Yeah, it's kind of funky. Don't you think? Reminders to subscribe. Kind of funky, just a
little bit.
Because again, whose side are you on?
Speaking at a rally earlier this month, and then he put out a tweet on Truth Social as well about
Kathy and her 7000. He's certainly going to point him.
In favor of the sanctuary city. She thinks the sanctuary cities are wonderful, which are killing
our country. And less than three months ago, Kathy Hochul signed a deadly and sedacious new law making
New York a so-called sanctuary state. So she took it from the city to the state, meaning Kathy Hochul
wants to release migrant criminals from jail and set them loose on innocent New Yorkers all over every
street has people that are not supposed to be here. And the reason they left their country is a lot of
bad reasons. You know, I know a lot of the leaders of these countries are very smart, more than smart.
They're street smart, very street smart, and they don't want these people. So what they did is they
sent him into the United States of America through the open border and people like Kathy Hochul, they
want to keep them in New York. We don't want to keep them in New York. We don't want them. We don't
want to take a chance. Yeah, maybe they'll get better. You know what the chances of about two
percent. Maybe they'll get better. But Hochul and the radical left stand with the gang members,
child predators, violent felons. We stand with hardworking New Yorkers. We stand with the great
people of law enforcement. Wow. You see what he put out there over the weekend?
Kathy Hochul, Governor Kathy Hochul just released 7000
hardcore criminals onto the streets of New York. What is wrong with her? She is grossly incompetent
and must be voted out of office. President D.J.T. So, you know, what is wrong with her? I think that
she's choosing a side, right? She's she's choosing a side. And apparently she did this back in twenty
five. She released nearly 7000 and not fully 7000 at that time. I think it was somewhere she might
have kept around a thousand or so. But now that she's got this new, you know, we're not going to
have any kind of agreement with ICE. And just to kind of explain how this works. Yes, there is
state and federal. And so you don't necessarily need to be using state resources to help federal
law officers. But in this case, what they were doing was they were saying to the if you commit
a crime or you go to jail and you're in the state jail and they're holding you there and then ICE
would deliver a list and say, hey, can you cross reference? Because if you have that guy,
we want to make sure that he gets deported when he leaves. And she's now not allowing for him to
get deported. She's just turning him back out into the open. And that's really, really messed up.
And especially in this environment, I don't really get it because politically speaking,
I don't understand what he gets you. I still think that, you know, Americans,
they they want to take care of their own. And this is why you're seeing Blakeman
start to really narrow that gap. And if you talk to him, he'll tell you his polls show him winning.
Now, that's not what we saw in the Siena poll. We saw them about 10 points apart. But that's
actually the closest anybody's ever been to having a Republican governor in the state of New York in
like 20 years. So I don't know how, Kathy, you know, you can wear all the headdress you want,
Kathy. I don't think this is going to work for you. I mean, it's not Minnesota. I don't think,
but she may be thinking, well, Mamdami's having kind of a success here. Mamdami got himself
elected. You know, maybe I just need to appeal to all these people and that'll get me to the
finish line. I don't think so. And so I think Kathy Hochul is going to find out, surprise,
surprise, people are not fond of her policies. Her policies don't make sense for everyday New
Yorkers at all. I mean, they just, you kind of scratch your head and you go, why, why, why, why,
why? But, you know, sometimes people don't think things through. And I can tell you, I saw a
fantastic movie this weekend. Fantastic. I mean, I was like, why do they want me to, they wanted me
to see this and they sent me a copy of it, which is nice, you know, sometimes a few little perks
with the job. But anyway, it's called The Uprising and it's about the 1381 uprising in England. And
what they had done at the time was they, the King just kept taxing and taxing and taxing and taxing
and they were on like the third tax. And that was back when you had the serfs and they had just come
out of the plague and everything. So there's a far smaller population there in England and this
smaller population, they didn't believe it. The tax collector would go town to town and say, well,
where's your family? The family was all dead. And then they say, well, we want to tax them anyway.
So it became super onerous.
And you saw this massive uprising from the people. It was really incredible. It's an
incredible economic story. I mean, it's a war story as well. So keep that in mind, but it really
just brings you back to these very, very issues that we talk about all the time that, you know,
you can only get so much from people to the point where they finally, they've had enough,
they've had enough, they've had enough. And that's kind of what the movie gets into. I don't want to
give it all away, but I really encourage you to go and see it. The Uprising, it's coming out in
theater. It's going to be a big movie. It's by Focus Films. It's the acclaimed director, Captain Phillips and Jason Bourne,
and it's starring Andrew Garfield. And it really is, they say the true story behind the legend of
Robin Hood, when everything is taken from him and nothing left to lose. One man's stand against
injustice will inspire a movement that will change everything in a land of kings. A man of the people
will defy the most powerful empire on earth and ignite a revolution. It's really neat to see.
I mean, I just, you know, I love history. You guys know that. And I love economic history. And I
firmly believe like all these big changes in the world and in society and that have happened in
history, they happen for economic reasons. And so, yes, this is an uprising and it's a story.
of people saying, OK, enough is enough is enough and really trying to take back their lives and
take back their freedom. It's rated R under 17, not permitted without a parent. Witness the rise
of Robin Hood only in theaters. Go check it out again. It's coming to theaters September 11th.
Mark your calendar. We got some breaking news this afternoon. The FBI has just released the
Fang Fang files. We're waiting on this one. We weren't sure they were going to remember because
Eric Swalwell was like, don't you dare. And he was threatening to sue and he was threatening to
sue Kash Patel and the whole nine yards. Don't you dare. It's kind of funny because back in 2019,
when somebody asked him, what if the president were to say, I don't want the Mueller report
published? What if? And this is what he said at the time.
They don't sound like a team that has nothing to hide. Only someone who has something to hide
would be so interested in prescreening what the outcome is. If the president truly was
interested in transparency and did nothing wrong in his businesses as a candidate in a transition
and leading the administration, then you would say, hey, you know what? This is all nonsense.
I cooperated. Here you go. But that's not, he knows he, because he has a guilty conscience,
he has tried to obstruct. And so I expect that we're gonna have to litigate this. I spent the
last two years. Because he has a guilty conscience. That's why he's going to try to obstruct. I think
somebody else had a bit of a guilty conscience and that's why you obstructed. You did not want
that. I don't blame you. You know what, Eric? I wouldn't really want those things coming out
either. Here's the woman of the hour, Fang Fang. Can't make it up. I guess her American name was
Christine Fang, but her Chinese name was Fang Fang. Anyway, the files are out. The files are
out. Indeed, they're out, guys. Donald Trump putting this one out. Sweet justice, right?
Legal donations from suspected Chinese spy. Bombshell memo show. Yeah. And you know what's
crazy? The Democrats knew this. They had Jack Smith on the case. Remember Jack Smith?
And yet they let it all blow over. They put him on the intel community, for goodness sakes.
They knew who he was and what he did. And yet it's sort of remarkable. So just to bring you back in
time, remember, here's a nice little picture of Swalwell and his girlfriend. She was, although I
don't know if we can really call it, she was like the occasional girlfriend. I'm being polite. She
basically was getting all these interns for his office and it was some kind of like pay-to-play
scheme. But I think she was also funneling foreign money. That's what's being alleged. But let me go
through the documents with you. So basically, and Justin News had this story and did a phenomenal
write-up. It's like 13
pages long at justnews.com. The files chronicling the relationship between Swalwell and Fang Fang.
They were declassified by the president. They were released today. We said all that. Well,
they show the FBI opened a predicated investigation, which is a formal law enforcement inquiry backed
by a factual basis or allegation that indicates a crime or national security threat already exists.
And so if we go and we read a little bit more of this, we can see that the FBI,
initially wanted to investigate the congressman for a bribery scheme in which he exchanged donations
from Fang Fang for her planting interns in his office, but eventually decided to narrow the case
to seek criminal charges only against Fang Fang for making illegal donations to the California
Democrat through conduits. Swalwell admitted to having sex with Fang, his staff placing Fang's
intern in Congress, interns in Congress and not having enough campaign finance system,
strength of the campaign finance system to,
detect. Oh, I, oopsie daisy, the straw donations she allegedly passed through U.S. citizen conduits.
So, whoa, so China was backing him. I get it. Like China needed to have their person, right? And Fang
Fang and Swalwell, they were going to be it. Well, the Justice Department declined to prosecute her.
Why? Because I'm not really sure. Do you know why? I mean, maybe because it was embarrassing.
I don't know. But she went back home.
And the prosecutor was supposed to be Jack Smith. I mean, he never met a charge he didn't want to
bring against Donald Trump. But, you know, Eric Swalwell, he was on pretty good ground,
apparently. The FBI, meanwhile, was recruiting Fang Fang to be a confidential informant through
an undercover agent. This is so bizarre. They assigned her the codename Rusty Thumbs.
They planned to hire her through a cutout company, and she was still a
confidential informant. So they were evaluating her suitability as a confidential, and they were
still evaluating her suitability as a confidential source. She clearly wasn't that reliable when they
discovered her alleged criminal behavior. So the FBI knew, I guess, during the recruitment that
Fang Fang was tied to the Chinese Ministry of State Security, apparently, which is their
notorious spy agency in Beijing. And apparently her parents were tied to it as well. They were
MSS agents. And she was known for raising money for California Democrats, as well as exchanging
her personal favors as a way of getting ahead in the world of U.S. politics. And so he's the idiot
that I guess was just so, you know, inclined to oblige. And so it goes on to say that Congressman
Swalwell had said for a decade that he did. Oh, this is the legal counsel, I should say,
for Swalwell. Swalwell, who's like out of a gig right now. He's got no real political future,
I don't think. He's he was running, remember, for California governor. But all
those. Explosive things came out about him in April, I think, and suddenly he was out
and he's, you know, no longer in the House of Representatives. So he's got a lawyer and the
lawyer said, quote, There is nothing new here. The government's own memorandum confirms what
Congressman Swalwell has said for more than a decade. He did nothing wrong and there was no
basis to charge him for any offense in the lawyer statement that was made through a public relations firm. So clearly he
is desperate. She also said, quote, What is new and deeply concerning is the apparent use of federal law enforcement information to punish or embarrass an outspoken critic of the current administration. An investigation that produced no charges and no finding a wrongdoing should not be resurrected years later as a vehicle for political retaliation will really let me be clear. There's really nothing that one can do to Eric Swalwell at this point. I mean, maybe retaliate, but he's kind of, you know, out of the picture politically speaking. The other thing I'd say is it actually is relevant because it shows you that the Democrats were willing to cover this up.
And to me, that's kind of important to know. Right. Jack Smith. I mean, trust me, if this had been Donald Trump, I mean, he wouldn't have gotten to first base like there would have been no way. Right. But because it's Eric Swalwell, they're willing to look the other way. And that guy's kind of a, you know, you're to believe some of these allegations, including what came out and why he had to step down from that governor base in California. I mean, he is he's not exactly a Boy Scout. Right. So it goes on to say that the FBI assessment
which later became a full fledged investigation centered on allegations that Swalwell awarded internships in his office in exchange for campaign contributions. And the FBI identified Fang Fang, the Chinese national, as the person that was facilitating all of this. But it gets worse. It gets worse because apparently.
One of the allegations is that she came forward to a source for the FBI. And she said, hey. Come to this event, this money raising fundraising thing was for Swalwell with me and write a check for a thousand dollars and I will give you a thousand dollars. And this source for the FBI was like, no, thank you. I'm not going to engage in that. Understood that that would actually be illegal. And so the FBI knew this. And, you know, I just.
I just think the fact that they covered it up and tell me if I'm wrong here. Right. I think that they they covered it up for a reason. And it's because they didn't want to make Swalwell look bad. And that's it. And the fact that they were covering up that to me speaks volume about the party and who the party is. And so I think it's good that it's all coming out, you know, little sunlight on the situation serving as a bit of a disinfectant in more ways.
than one right about now. So good. You know, the more information we have at this point, the better. Alberta, Canada, we're with you on this one. Alberta is looking to say.
What? No, they don't speak French in Alberta. Alberta, Canada wants out. All right. They want out. They want out of Canada. And Donald Trump is kind of coming forward with a bit of an attractive offer. I mean, he's got no use for Canada right about now.
As we lose 60 billion a year for many years with Canada, more than that, they used to lose, but we lose all of this tremendous money. They think they're a state, but they're not a state. Why should we be subsidizing Canada? And I've said it for a long time, and I would have done it in the first term, but we were doing other things. And we did have the Russia, Russia.
that he was so distracted with that he couldn't get anything else done.
Well, now he's running on offense right now.
And he's running on offense big time, including with our trade deal with Canada, because Canada pulled out last minute. Apparently didn't like that they couldn't do as much business with the Chinese as they so wanted. And so now we're looking at some serious tariffs. I mean, we put tariffs on them. They put tariffs on us. And you know who's not too happy about it? The woman who is in charge of Alberta, Canada, the woman who is the premier. She is a smart cookie. This is Danielle Smith. I want to go to her comments on this.
Although I understand the need to respond strongly to these tariffs, I cannot think of a more disastrous policy decision than cutting off or taxing Alberta's oil to the United States. Doing so would absolutely devastate the Canadian economy. It would not only extinguish the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Albertans, it would economically hobble our friends and neighbors in other provinces to the east.
Let me explain why. And it's important that this be understood by every Canadian.
If Canada were to put, let's say, a 50% export tariff on the 4 million barrels of oil that we export daily to the United States, the United States would immediately respond with a 50 to 100% export tariff on oil and natural gas that they export to Ontario, along with millions of barrels of diesel fuel and gasoline that Ontario and Quebec import from the Midwest.
This is a very, very dangerous policy decision.
And I think it's important that we take this into account.
Big V.
But, I mean, turnout was huge, 82.5%.
That was the voter turnout.
So nearly all of Iceland showed up, and they voted no to joining the EU.
This is a big deal for Donald Trump.
You know why?
It sits in a rather strategic spot, don't forget, right?
And he's kind of interested in this particular spot.
Because you see what it's close to?
Greenland, Greenland, yes.
Iceland and Greenland quite close together.
I mean, Iceland is much smaller.
Greenland is mostly a whole bunch of ice.
But this opens up a new opportunity in some ways.
Granted, it's already part of Schengen.
It's already part of NATO.
But the fact that they didn't go full force into the EU is quite interesting,
perhaps quite telling in terms of offering more opportunity for Donald Trump
to make this Arctic play.
Here's the headline in The Guardian.
They write, Iceland rejects EU ascension talks after divisive referendum campaign.
Well-funded no-camp.
Oh, that darn well.
Well-funded no-camp prevails, winning 52.8% of the votes and gaining
plaudits from the Euro-skeptic figures across Europe.
So today, what is everybody talking about?
Oh, no, this makes us more vulnerable to Donald Trump.
Here is what the woman who is in charge of Iceland was saying at a press conference.
She said, it's quite clear that this matter will not move forward under this government.
But as The Guardian points out, the vote was held in the shadow of repeated threats
by Donald Trump to invade or acquire.
Although Iceland is a NATO member, as I mentioned, support of the EU membership
and EU solidarity was just not there.
They are saying that it would have provided greater protection from Trump
if Trump ever made similar threats towards the smaller Arctic island.
And they nonetheless didn't want it.
So at a press conference, the prime minister said the campaign had, quote,
raised the debate in Iceland to a higher level while acknowledging that there were
aspects that could have been done better.
Apparently, they didn't sell their message so well on the other side.
And what's interesting is a lot of people from the country came out in force.
It was not like the metropolitan Reykjavik that decided this one.
It was the people in the country.
And a lot of the people were very frustrated because what it would have meant for
their fishing industry.
And let's face it, Brussels is controlling everything.
I mean, the fishing industry, even in Ireland, has suffered as a result of joining the EU.
It's something that I hear from people.
And Ireland, from people who make their living as a fisherman, including my own cousin,
by the way, who has a fishing boat.
And it's like, look, it's all been basically turned over to Spain.
And that was part of the deal when they joined the EU.
So it's not a good thing for the fishermen in Iceland to do this deal.
But now it opens up maybe a little bit more wiggle room because the president has made
it very clear what he wants.
And that would be that big block of ice.
You know that.
I mean, he communicated as recently as July.
At the NATO meeting here, he is speaking in Ankara, Turkey.
Well, that's what hurt my relationship with NATO, because Greenland doesn't help Denmark.
Denmark doesn't spend money to really help Greenland, but it's an important part for
the United States.
And it's surrounded by China ships and Russian ships.
And that's not going to happen.
The ships is it's not going to happen.
It was Greenland that in my and it continues.
To be that should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark.
And when they wouldn't go along with it and with all the money we spend to help them with
Russia, we don't have to spend any money.
We could remove all of our soldiers out of Europe because, as you probably noticed, Europe
is a very different place than it was 20 years ago.
A lot different, much different, much different.
And they better be careful with immigration and energy if they're not careful with those
two things.
You're not going to have a Europe anymore.
OK, thank you very much.
But, you know, he's made it clear over and over again.
He wants Greenland for strategic reasons.
I mean, certainly the mineral rights, right, that we would get there are massive, significant.
But maybe even more important than that is that it basically is right in between that
China and Russia.
And if Europe is not able to protect Greenland the way we would hope and would want
them to, then that would make us very vulnerable.
So I think he's looking at this very strategically.
He's wanted it forever.
You know, you've seen the memes of him peering down.
He put that one out on True Social.
And I think he's pretty serious about this.
And I know that talks are still ongoing.
It's all behind the scenes right now.
But I'm told that the talks are going well.
And we're looking to have a bigger and bigger presence there in Greenland, possibly have
territories.
So if we could get some territories and therefore really have some cementing.
Relationship there with Greenland, it would be a big, big deal.
Denmark doesn't want us to have this.
Europe doesn't want us to have this.
But the president is looking at this very seriously, saying, listen, you guys can't
protect them.
We know that you can't even protect yourselves.
I mean, you keep looking at us, right?
How are you ever going to protect Greenland, for goodness sakes?
And so we're just trying to be realist about all of it right now.
And given the U.S.'s presence and hegemony in the world, it would make sense that we
would have such a valuable asset.
Did you guys watch Meet the Press this weekend?
Ooh, Donald Trump not too happy with Meet the Press.
He's demanding the FCC get involved in this one now because he said, you know, how can
they just get on there and lie and say things that are not true?
And so Kristen Welker apparently made a big, big thing about his influence on the midterms.
If you recall, and I don't know if we watch this together or not, do you know that he
has said, I think of it like I'm on the ballot.
I'm on the ballot come November.
He knows that.
You know, if he's not on the ballot, it's kind of harder to get the base out to vote for him.
So he's like, you've got to think of it like I'm on the ballot.
And so here she is questioning whether or not having this idea that Donald Trump is on the
ballot at midterms is going to work for him or not.
And she kind of.
She kind of flubs it up.
Watch.
He's going to loom large over these midterms.
There's no doubt about that.
He, of course, has endorsed a slate of candidates in the primaries.
He's had some mixed results, but most recently,
his pick of Senator Darlene Graham, of course, the sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham,
was successful.
Yeah, that was kind of a big deal.
Remember, we watched it together, how Darlene reminded me of like a beauty pageant contestant.
They're like, you know, what do you want?
And you're supposed to say world peace.
And she just kind of stumbles.
In this case, they said, do you think that China and Taiwan are,
you know, important or something?
I can't remember.
Important.
I know you got you guys are all getting after me for that.
You should hear me say, I'll just say it.
Mitten.
New Hampshire.
Anyway, but it's do you think that they're going to be important to the U.S. overall,
et cetera?
It was some kind of simple question.
Like, yeah, I think like our relationship with Taiwan is really important and it's going to
matter in the future with China, et cetera.
It was like an easy one, but she couldn't get it.
And he went in and he totally saved the day because it didn't look
like at that point she might actually make it to the finish line.
She was already struggling against, uh, Ralph Norman and yet she did.
So it was a big victory lap for him.
So he did not appreciate Kristin saying this.
And he put this one out on true social Kristin Welger, the unpopular hostess of the
once great meet the press now considered meet the fake press just stated that Donald
Trump has mixed results on the endorsement of his candidates.
When the recent wins of Darlene Graham and Mike Mazzei stand at a hundred percent
for the U S Senate and 98% for the U S house recently and over the long term, how can
anyone be allowed to say this working for freely given public airwaves?
See, this is what he's learned.
What I told you, cable is different.
YouTube is different.
Print is different radio and television, ABC, CBS, NBC.
They're all governed by the 1934 communications act.
The FCC has jurisdiction.
Okay.
So he's saying, why?
Is she allowed to say this over freely given public airways results are attached because
of this purposeful inaccuracy.
She will be reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment.
Unfortunately, she's not the only one.
The radical left news he goes on is going out of its way to harass, demean and libel
anything.
Trump, their new weapon is to say their new weapon is to say that my 99% success rate
on endorsements, a hundred percent on senatorial endorsements, many of whom are not even given
a shot of winning.
And that's what we're talking about here.
That's what we're talking about here.
The fact that I'm not doing anything until I endorsed is either a mixed result or not
very good in actuality is without question the strongest endorsement in the history of
politics.
If it were not, I would not be the first.
I would be the first to admit it.
Darlene Graham's run for the Senate was the biggest story in all the politics because
she wasn't expected to win.
And then when I endorsed her and she easily won the story of her victory was hardly covered
by anybody.
Oh, that's interesting.
He says that it's kind of true.
I mean, I remember we covered it here and you guys definitely, um, I think appreciated
the coverage.
You know, then he goes on to the same thing for Oklahoma.
He said, the press is a disgrace to our nation, and I hope that chairman Brendan Carr and
the fine people of his commission will take this threat to our country very seriously.
I mean, I think that, you know, the bottom line is, so here's the numbers, right?
Like he's getting kind of sick of it because you look at these numbers, I'm putting them
up here on the wall.
I'm putting them up here on the wall.
appreciate this. He also went on to say the fake polls used by our crooked media are out of control
and something must be done about it. FCC to the rescue. What he's getting at here is something
we've talked about at Najm, right? That you have this blatant bias in the media and they just hate
them. And I don't fully, I don't get it. Like I've thought about this a lot. I know we've talked
about, you know, whether this is the Smith-Munt Act and the fact that that got repealed and the
fact that now there's no more money to go to these international news organizations that were then
basically using that money and sending messages within our borders. And just to back up,
Smith-Munt Act was put in place basically by our CIA and State Department because they wanted to
be able to influence people's thoughts overseas, right? Because the thinking is, you know, it's
better to influence the people rather than have to have some kind of, you know, bloody war and take
out the whoever's there.
So let's influence the people. And so they paid basically news organizations overseas
to have this quote-unquote influence. And then at some point, I believe it was under Barack Obama,
of course, of course it was under Barack Obama. It wasn't, I believe, I know it was under Barack
Obama. I just can't recall the exact year, but basically this whole thing was reversed.
I think it was right before Obama left office. I'm pretty sure it was right before Obama left
office. Maybe he saw Trump coming and was like, we got to do something, we got to do something.
And so it basically enabled. The press to use money that otherwise would have been devoted to overseas operations to use that
to have a point of view that was projected onto the American people. And that's all I can think
of because I don't understand. I mean, granted, yes, there's always been, I've worked in media
so long and was at CBS News and many cable stations from CNBC to Bloomberg to Fox. And I get
that there's some liberalism there, right? I get it.
But it still doesn't explain how drastic it has become. Like when you turn on the view and you
see, it's like they're just spewing this hate constantly. And in her own way there, Kristen
Welker choosing to, what, report on the 2% and say that he's got mixed results? I mean, that's a
little weird. It's a little bit weird. He's going to loom large over these midterms,
there's no doubt about that. He's had some mixed results, but most recently, his pick of Senator.
Again, he would not call these mixed results. So I often think like, what happened? I mean,
I know everybody was super liberal, fine. But it just completely changed in 2016. It completely
changed. And then you had the whole deep state working against him with Russia, Russia, Russia.
And you think about the media, right? And somebody put this out on Twitter,
and I want to share it with you. And I thought it was really kind of telling and important.
Important. Here we go. Somebody said, take a look at this. As far as the media goes, okay,
you know, maybe we lied about Biden's health, and Russia collusion, and COVID, and Hunter's laptop,
and voter fraud in January 6, and Ukraine. I mean, some of these are like indisputable,
whether it be Russia, or COVID and its origins, Hunter Biden's laptop, for goodness sakes,
on the voter fraud. I mean, you just had 6600 people fraudulently get registered there in New
Jersey.
And like, what, 300 of them voted, for goodness sakes? I mean, it's just, it's exhausting. So
they're saying, yeah, you know, the media is carrying someone's water. And it's certainly
not Trump's. Okay, it's definitely not Trump's. And they've got their bias, which has just been
unleashed. And now Donald Trump is saying, hey, you know, FCC, where are you when you need you?
And everybody's like, well, the FCC never did this before. But the FCC never had to do this
before. Think about it.
That way, guys. Why would the FCC have had to step in? I mean, granted, yes, the media was super
liberal. And I can tell you this, having worked in it. But I would also say that we felt a sense
of duty. Like, you know, as liberal as they were, they still felt like, okay, well, we kind of have
to have both sides. So they pretended a little bit better. Now they don't even pretend. Like,
there's no pretense about it. We just, we hate Trump. Hey, reminder, go check out my 76 research,
