The Trump regime's big trip to Greece backfired in their face. The Trump regime was preparing this trip to say, look at us. We're standing in front of the Acropolis. Western civilization is surging yet again, and we are bringing together a new renaissance of Western civilization. They had Marco Rubio speak in front of the Acropolis, comparing the United States to Athens, which is interesting. Because you just had Xi Jinping at the White House talking about the Thucydides trap and the Peloponnesian war and how it ended up basically destroying both Sparta and Greece. And perhaps when you're losing a war to the Persians, when you're losing a war to Iran, making the reference to the Peloponnesian war and making a reference to Athens versus Sparta may not be the best imagery. But in any event, this trip backfiring in the Acropolis, it's going to be a great trip. After scandal, scandal and more scandal regarding the Trump regime, specifically Kimberly Guilfoyle, the ex-fiance of Don Jr. has been embroiled in some alleged atrocious behavior. The latest from Wall Street Journal, and they've been just at it day after day, breaking these exclusives on Kimberly Guilfoyle. Here's what they read. So just to set the scene, you've got Rubio with the Acropolis in the background. You've got Kimberly Guilfoyle sitting right there. Rubio is trying to do his soft opening for his 2028 run. And all of this news is breaking. It was a disaster. U.S. ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle. Yeah, you've forgotten, right? They made her the ambassador to Greece after Don Jr. apparently broke up with her and then married somebody else, a younger woman, and then got. And then kind of pushed Kimberly Guilfoyle aside a little bit, whatever. She became the ambassador to Greece. And that's how they kind of pushed her out and had her be the ambassador to Greece. And it's been corruption after corruption story. U.S. ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, reportedly pressured Trump donor Eric Dieters to pay her $100,000 American Express bill shortly before her July 2025 Senate confirmation hearing, suggesting he wire the money directly to her. U.S. ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, reportedly pressured Trump donor Eric Dieters to pay her $100,000 American Express bill shortly before her July 25th Senate confirmation hearing, suggesting he wire the money directly to her. Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr.'s former fiancee, allegedly offered to use her connections to help Dieters with IRS and Justice Department matters and secure a Tucker Carlson interview for which he had promised up to $1 million. Now, where did the Wall Street Journal get this information from? Was it sources on background? Was it people with information? No, it was the Trump donor. It was Eric Dieters. Eric Dieters is a former lawyer from Kentucky, and he's been in the MAGA orbit for a very long time. And he showed the Wall Street Journal the text messages. He recounted these details. Now, Kimberly Guilfoyle's lawyer. Says that Dieters is making this up and that the money that's at issue was actually money for a speaking engagement that Kimberly Guilfoyle gave before. And it was money that she said that she was owed and that the messages were not authentic. This is what Kimberly Guilfoyle says. But Dieters had the details and he was sending the Wall Street Journal all of these messages and emails. I'll show you that in a moment. But also Tucker Carlson responded to the Wall Street Journal article. He was like, I don't know Dieters. A million dollars to show up on my podcast. Isn't Kimberly Guilfoyle supposed to be like the ambassador to Greece? What the hell is she doing? Messages also show Guilfoyle repeatedly warning Dieters against documenting their financial arrangements, saying he could cost her the ambassadorship. Dieters, who had previously paid Guilfoyle $300,000 in speaking fees, refused to pay the credit card bill and said she had delivered none of the favors. He said, I don't know Dieters. He also said, my wife would kill me and it would end my marriage if I wired $100,000 to pay your Amex bill. Guilfoyle's lawyer disputed the authenticity of the messages and maintained that she was owed money for previous speaking engagements. Dieters was like, I don't owe her any money for anything. These messages are authentic. Let me show you the messages Dieters turned over to the Wall Street Journal. This is allegedly from Kimberly Guilfoyle, a text message to Dieters before her confrontation. Guilfoyle said, I don't know Dieters. Then she says, Eric, I really wish you would stop papering all these things. It's really dangerous and not helpful to you or me while you could simply just call me on Signal. Signal is the encrypted app where messages disappear after a certain period of time. And then she goes on to say the following in another text message. It's unbelievable when we have a private arrangement with you that you would now CC a producer talking about money. She said, What a nightmare. You'll literally cost me my ambassadorship. Stop putting these things in writing. Stop writing, she's saying. Now, she says, these messages aren't authentic. Dieters gave it to the Wall Street Journal and says, these are the messages that she sent me. Let's get into some of the more details over here. Honey, please, I need you to get this done for me today, she texted Dieters, adding a prayer hands emoji and a PDF with a bill. Payment instruction, you could just send it here, is what you saw right over there. There were other issues, too. Dieters wanted help regarding IRS audits into him or an IRS investigation. And they were talking about her reaching out to the former IRS commissioner. There was also an issue of Dieters was involved in this litigation with a medical company. He wanted the DOJ to investigate this company called MedPro Insurance Company. I won't get into the weeds, but he wanted the DOJ to investigate this company that had sued him. And he wanted help with an IRS investigation. And he wanted additional, he wanted to be on the podcast with Tucker Carlson. And so all of those messages are out.

This was a Wall Street Journal article last week. Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. ambassador to Greece, has faced scrutiny over remarks she allegedly made during a private dinner in Athens in March 2026. She said, Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. ambassador to Greece, has faced scrutiny over remarks she allegedly made during a private dinner in March 2026. She said, do that here. The comment reportedly led to a tense exchange with Greece's energy minister Stavros Patsamir, who responded that the U.S. could not replace Greece's government, which was elected by voters. And so this is video that surfaced showing Kimberly Guilfoyle, a U.S. ambassador to Greece and former fiance of Don Jr., meeting privately with leaders of Romania's Social Democratic Party on March 31st in a Bucharest hotel. Just six days later, the Social Democrats, allied with the pro-Russian extremists from the AUR, filed a motion that collapsed the Romanian government led by the prime minister Bolijan, which strongly opposed purchasing U.S. gas at above market prices. In this Wall Street Journal article, sources present a meeting between a Greek minister and Guilfoyle. Stating that she bragged about having collapsed the Romanian government for its refusal to buy U.S. gas, warning the U.S. can do the same in Greece. And then there was this article by the Wall Street Journal. Kimberly Guilfoyle, Don Jr.'s former fiance and the U.S. ambassador to Greece, is puzzling officials with her persistent promotion of a single Greek company. The mystery man shadowing Kimberly Guilfoyle as she pushes deals across the world. Christos Marafatsos works as an energy lobbyist while also closely advising the U.S. ambassador to Greece. In this article, Wall Street Journal is reporting close ties between Kimberly Guilfoyle and the Greek company Aktor Group. Aktor's 39-year-old energy lobbyist, Christos Marafostos, apparently closely advises Guilfoyle, attends her meetings often, and people believe that he was her chief of staff, that he was so close to her. Her actions over here, she keeps on pushing American LNG exports to Europe via a Balkan vertical gas corridor with Aktor partnering on Greek infrastructure. And what's interesting is that Aktor Group, a construction firm, is relatively new in the world. Aktor Group is a gas business. They partnered with the Greek state-backed energy company. But she keeps on pushing this company as who countries should be doing business with when they interact with the United States. So I give you all of that on background. She denies all of the allegations. You have Marco Rubio speaking at the Acropolis. He's here in Athens right now. And let's show you what he says over here. Likening himself to Athens while losing the war to the Persians. As one person said, quite the move is what Scott Stagg should say here, play this clip. Found its origins here. Now, all of that is true. But the things we owe to this place as Americans and as Westerners are actually far, far deeper. These institutions and ideas, these institutions and ideas were the outward expression of, of more fundamental qualities we see in the ancient Greeks. Qualities that can't be reduced to any particular political system or theory. Here in Athens, we found the first full realization of all the essential traits that would come to define the West. Rubio was then asked about Kimberly Guilfoyle's scandals. And here's what he had to say. Let's play this clip. If I may, amid increasing congressional scrutiny of Ambassador Guilfoyle's tenure here, I'm wondering, Mr. Secretary, if you've personally reviewed some of those allegations and are confident that all is in compliance with State Department ethics. If you'd like to answer, then I can pose the question to the minister. Pose what question to the minister? I'll just do the third question to the minister. That is to say, the only question to the minister. Well, I'm, the second, yeah, on the second question, this is not the forum where we're going to address that. Simple as that. Suffice it to say, our ambassador is doing a great job. Our ambassador has been a strong ambassador here. The questions you're asking me, we're not addressing those at press conferences in Greece with a foreign minister and in another country. And then, of course, he said, the Strait of Hormuz is open and everything is going great. Everything is amazing. This as another tanker was struck in the Strait of Hormuz by Qatar. This is what he had to say. Play this clip. Pleat free fall. I'm happy that for the first time, even the media in the U.S. is beginning to cover what a bad situation Iran faces. The Straits of Hormuz are open. There's almost as much oil flowing out now as there was before this conflict began. So they've lost complete control of the Straits. And folks, diesel and gas prices continue to surge to record highs. As you know, the Strait of Hormuz is not controlled by the United States. We've done ample coverage on this and we fact check this a million times. Now, what's Don Jr. doing? As you know, Don Jr. ended up getting married. They got married at, now, an island that the wedding was in part funded by Russian oligarchs, which we now know. People who were very close to Putin funded that. And then yesterday, while this, while you had Rubio in Greece and you had Don Jr.'s ex-fiance embroiled in all of this scandal, an ABC News analysis found that defense and technology companies backed by Don Jr. and Eric Trump received or have been promised more than $6 billion in U.S. government contracts since the brothers invested in them, including the Trump regime announcing $2.9 billion in Navy support for the new Andurall submarine manufacturing facility in Maryland. That was the area that Donald Trump spoke at two days ago at that shipyard. And Andurall was a recipient of an investment by Don Jr.'s 1789 Capital Holdings Group over there. Other Trump-linked companies receiving Pentagon contracts include Powerus, Vulcan Elements, Firehawk Aerospace, Psi Quantum, Hydreion, and Foundation Future Industries. But yes, Hunter Biden sold a painting or two for $250K. There you have it, everybody. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers. Thanks for watching, everybody.
