Trump Is Now NATO Daddy America Unfiltered Episode 77 · America Unfiltered With James P

America, we are back, baby. Welcome to another episode of
0:02
America Unfiltered with James Pascalades.
0:05
We're going to dive right into our topics today, but before we
0:07
do, I want to introduce something new to the show.
0:10
We're going to be doing a book of the week every week.
0:12
It will be the book that I am reading that week and something
0:14
that I would like to recommend to my guest to read as well if I
0:17
find it worthy to be recommended.
0:19
This book right here, The Courage to be Free by Ron de
0:22
Santis. It is his memoir.
0:24
It is a very good book. I'm almost done with it.
0:27
I encourage all my readers to go check it out.
0:29
I love Rhonda Santis, he keeps Florida to be one of the last
0:32
free states in America. But to dive right on into
0:35
everything, let's go right for it.
0:37
At the June 2025 NATO Summit, President Donald Trump did what
0:41
no other U.S. President had the guts to do.
0:43
He forced Europe to stop freeloading off the American
0:46
taxpayer. For decades, NATO allies ignored
0:49
spending targets, let their militaries wrought, and expected
0:52
the United States military to just carry the load.
0:54
That ended the moment Donald Trump landed at the NATO summit.
0:58
After months of pressure, Trump got NATO to agree to a historic
1:02
new standard, 5% of GDP on defense spending by 2035 from
1:06
every country. That's not just the old 2% lip
1:09
service goal from Obama era politics.
1:12
This is a major escalation. 3.5% must go directly to core defense
1:16
ships, missiles, aircraft, troops, and 1.5% to defense
1:20
adjacent infrastructure like roads, cybersecurity, homeland
1:24
resilience. In other words, real money for
1:27
real military capabilities, not hollow bureaucracy and waste,
1:30
fraud and abuse. Trump demanded these and he got
1:34
them. He even made sure the deal was
1:36
legally binding for every country except for Spain, which
1:38
buckled under pressure and negotiated A carve out.
1:41
Annual national plans will now be submitted and reviewed with
1:44
progress reports due by 2029. No more vague pledges.
1:49
Every country will have to show their receipts to Donald Trump
1:52
in the United States, taxpayer. And he didn't just stop there.
1:55
Trump made it pretty clear that European countries can raise
1:58
their budgets or face consequences.
2:00
He floated tariffs, trade restrictions, military pull
2:04
backs if allies did not pay their fair share.
2:06
And it worked. Within days, the EU adjusted
2:09
fiscal rules to allow countries to overspend their budget limits
2:12
to meet the 5% goal. The bloc also created €150
2:16
billion arms fund. The message was clear.
2:19
NATO is no longer a charity, it's a contract.
2:22
While the global press talked about diplomacy and unity, Trump
2:26
focused on results. He called the agreement a
2:28
massive win for America and the American taxpayer.
2:31
And he's right. If every country had hit the 5%
2:34
mark in 2024, NATO would have spent 1.75 trillion, a $450
2:39
billion increase, and much of that will be spent on US
2:42
weapons, technology and defense manufacturing.
2:46
Trump did not just strengthen NATO, he created a pipeline to
2:48
pour European money into American industry.
2:51
For years, Trump warned NATO was weak, bloated and falling
2:55
behind. And now it's finally turning
2:57
into what it should have been all along.
2:59
A real, serious alliance where everyone will pay their dues and
3:03
America doesn't get played. America didn't just attend the
3:06
NATO summit. We reshaped the entire thing.
3:09
It restructured the global balance of power, the 5% defense
3:13
commitment he secured as the largest Western military
3:16
mobilization since World War 2. And the real story isn't just
3:19
the size of the investment, it's what the investment represents,
3:23
the total dominance of American leadership and leverage under
3:26
Donald Trump. All of these things will be
3:28
manufactured in America by American companies.
3:31
So let's break this down. Military turning NATO into AUS
3:35
backhammer. NATO's new force posture is no
3:38
longer symbolic. High readiness forces are being
3:42
rapidly expanded, with hundreds of billions redirected to real
3:45
hardware. Tanks, missiles, warships,
3:48
drones, hypersonics, air defense.
3:50
NATO is modernizing to fight 21st century wars, and it's
3:54
doing so using American weapons, American defense systems.
3:58
That means more U.S. jobs, US exports, and American made
4:01
technology embedded across all of Europe's defense landscape.
4:05
Every ally is now going to be stockpiling ammunition,
4:08
investing in air and missile defense, and hardening cyber
4:11
networks. And much of this spending will
4:13
flow directly to Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, General
4:17
Dynamics and Boeing. Trump didn't just force NATO to
4:20
rearm, he turned Europe into the newest customer base for US
4:24
defense and manufacturing. This is America first foreign
4:27
policy in action. Our allies get stronger while
4:30
our industries will grow way richer.
4:32
Ukraine too benefits under this realignment.
4:35
Trump NATO has formally stated Ukraine's defense contributes to
4:38
ours, which is code for ramping up weapons deliveries and
4:41
surveillance systems without dragging America into an
4:44
open-ended war. NATO countries now count Ukraine
4:47
aid toward their defense quotas, A loophole Trump quietly
4:51
supported because it means Europe foots more of the bill.
4:54
Some of the economic impacts are Europe pays the tab, America
4:58
reaps the rewards. So let's be blunt about it.
5:00
Europe can't afford this without pain.
5:02
They're drowning in welfare. Their economies and aging
5:06
populations are going down the hole.
5:08
Now they're being forced to reallocate hundreds of billions
5:11
annually into defense spending, its tax hikes, spending cuts or
5:16
deficit explosions, all of it politically costly.
5:19
But they agreed anyway. Why?
5:21
Because Donald Trump left them no other option.
5:23
The EU had to bend their knee. Brussels rewrote its fiscal
5:26
rules to allow member states to blow past deficit caps by up to
5:30
1.5% of GDP just to meet Trump's 5% target.
5:35
Germany, France, Italy and others are now scrambling to
5:38
fund military programs they delayed for decades. the US
5:41
economy will get a major boost from this.
5:43
This is a huge win for the United States.
5:45
Trump insisted European allies prioritize American made
5:48
systems. He met with Zalenski as well
5:51
during the summit to discuss Co producing drones, each using US
5:55
tech. He pushed for European spending
5:57
to be tied directly to purchases from US defense sector and his
6:01
administration made clear if you want American protection, you
6:04
buy American weapons. That strength based diplomacy
6:08
realigning the entire W around strength.
6:10
NATO under Trump isn't the same old club of bureaucrats, think
6:13
tanks and wine and cheese summits.
6:16
It's becoming a leaner, meaner American LED security machine.
6:21
Every major European leader left the summit echoing Trump's
6:24
demands. In Britain, they called Trump a
6:27
reliable partner. Dutch said Trump made NATO
6:30
stronger, fairer and more lethal.
6:32
And even France, usually the loudest critic, admitted this
6:35
was a new chapter. the United States did not bend to NATO.
6:39
NATO bent to the United States. They bent to the American
6:42
taxpayer. And some legacy media outlets
6:44
tried to frame the summit as controversial, saying Trump's
6:48
tone upset allies. Who cares?
6:50
Results speak louder than tone. The reality is Trump extracted
6:54
more real commitment from NATO in one week than Biden, Obama
6:57
and Bush did in 20 years combined.
6:59
He used leverage, trade pressure, budget threats, even
7:02
the implicit suggestion that America could just walk away.
7:05
And he got everything he wanted. And that's negotiating from a
7:08
point of strength and leverage. Spain was the lone holdout as
7:12
well. Pedro Sanchez negotiated a 2.1%
7:15
floor and spun it as still meeting capability needs.
7:19
That's fine for them. Spain is going to be sidelined
7:21
by the United States anyway. Trump made it clear this is a
7:24
coalition of the serious, not the soft.
7:26
Even domestically, Democrats tried to downplay Trump's win,
7:30
but they couldn't stop the headlines.
7:32
Republican leaders hailed the deal as proof that Trump gets
7:35
things done. The White House dropped a recap
7:37
video set to music highlighting Trump's dominance.
7:40
It was a victory lap. And guess what?
7:42
Donald Trump earned it. The Trump doctrine becomes NATO
7:45
policy. No president in NATO's history,
7:48
not Truman, not Reagan, not Bush, has forced a structural
7:51
shift this massive. The old 2% goal was set in 2014
7:55
and it was mainly ignored. So by 2024, only 22 out of 32
7:59
countries even hit that mark. Trump tossed it aside and
8:02
demanded 5%. He got it.
8:04
This is the largest Western military spending surge since
8:07
World War 2. It formalizes the doctrine
8:10
Trump's pushed since 2016 that allies must carry their own
8:13
weight, pay their own dues, and stop mooching off the United
8:16
States taxpayer. Now it's enshrined in NATO
8:18
policy. This wasn't just a summit.
8:20
It was a entire realignment of the Western world, a turning
8:23
point. NATO now looks less like a
8:26
welfare club and more like a coalition of actual serious
8:29
nations led by America that's proud, strong and unapologetic
8:34
from Donald Trump. And with that, the NATO summit
8:36
wasn't just a foreign policy win.
8:38
It was a blueprint for how Donald Trump is going to assert
8:41
himself in Foreign Relations across the entire world.
8:45
He didn't ask for consensus. He demanded results.
8:47
He doesn't wait. He forces action.
8:50
And when he says America leads, the rest of the world listens or
8:53
gets left behind. While Trump was restructuring
8:56
the global order back here at home, Florida was quietly
8:59
building something just as crazy, something that's already
9:02
making headlines across the country.
9:04
They're calling it it Alligator Alcatraz.
9:07
And it might be one of the boldest, craziest things they're
9:10
doing in immigration, but I love it.
9:12
This is happening in the Everglades, where Florida
9:14
officials have launched what's being called Alligator Alcatraz,
9:18
a remote detention facility deep in the swamp built to house
9:21
criminal illegal immigrants awaiting deportation.
9:24
It's not a hypothetical plan. This is underway.
9:27
It's in Dade Collier County. It's at the abandoned airport, a
9:31
Cold War airstrip surrounded by 30 plus square miles of
9:35
marshland and protected wildlife.
9:37
The Attorney General for Florida announced the project personally
9:40
highlighting the natural deterrence.
9:42
Alligators, pythons, Panthers. The swamp itself acts as a
9:46
security perimeter with no new buildings, roads or sewer
9:49
infrastructure. The entire setup relies on
9:51
tents, generators and trailers. It's a fully mobile tent city
9:55
designed for one purpose, to isolate and to hold the
9:58
dangerous non citizens away from populated areas.
10:02
Construction for it began in late June less than a week ago
10:06
and it was approved for federal approval just a week before that
10:10
by Kristi Noem. Under the Trump administration,
10:13
Florida's division of Emergency Management mobilized crews
10:16
immediately bringing in heavy trucks portable facilities.
10:19
The goal is speed. They say the site will be
10:22
operational by early July with up to 1000 beds within 30 to 60
10:26
days. It's part of a broader state LED
10:28
strategy, including a second facility at Camp Blanding aiming
10:32
to US 5000 more criminal migrants across multiple sites
10:36
by the end of the summer. And like everything else in
10:38
2025, liberals are freaking out about it.
10:41
I love this. I think this is something that
10:43
will keep Americans in Floridian safer.
10:46
And it's actually hilarious as well.
10:48
And anyone like me who's been to the Everglades before, you know,
10:52
that could be pretty, pretty dangerous for them to try and
10:54
escape there. If you're in that prison that's
10:56
not going to be 1 you're going to try and escape from because
10:58
basically Florida Panther head on or a Burmese Python or a 12
11:03
foot alligator who's a little hungry that day is not fun.
11:06
Security is as taxpayer friendly as possible too.
11:10
There's no walls or razor wire, just hinge trailers and the
11:14
Everglades own apex predators. There are some people who would
11:18
think, oh, it's not going to be that bad of a deal.
11:20
I'm just going to try and run again.
11:22
Try running from a Florida Panther, See how that works for
11:25
you. The Trump aligned Department of
11:27
Homeland Security, also led by Christy Gnome, gave rapid
11:30
approval and FEMA dollars to this site.
11:32
ICE will be responsible for delivering the detainees there,
11:36
drawn primarily from those with criminal convictions or pending
11:39
charges under federal immigration law.
11:41
Early reports suggested that the National Guard will also
11:44
supplement on the ground operations, providing personnel
11:47
logistics support for. It is essentially A federally
11:50
funded state-run ICE facility. Again, This is why I love Collar
11:54
County is why I love Florida. It is time that the American
11:56
taxpayer take those dollars back and spend them on things that
11:59
actually need to happen like this, like locking up these
12:02
illegal immigrants and and social media clips have really
12:06
racked up millions of views. The facility was jokingly
12:09
described as Shawshank Meet Jurassic Park.
12:11
This is the return of real deterrence to illegal
12:14
immigration. This is the way you scare them
12:16
from coming in the country. If you come in this country and
12:18
you get arrested, you will be surrounded by alligators,
12:21
pythons and Panthers. That is a scary thought.
12:24
I would not break into a country if I knew that I wouldn't break
12:27
into a country regardless because I follow the law and I
12:30
don't appreciate breaking other countries laws and I respect
12:33
other countries laws. That's the same reason I
12:36
wouldn't go smoke weed in Russia.
12:38
Same reason I wouldn't just walk into North Korea.
12:41
But this is the start of real deterrence.
12:43
This is the start of America getting what we voted for.
12:46
This is the start of the mass deportations, the mass arrests
12:50
of the invasion that the Biden Harris regime allowed to pour
12:53
in. They overwhelmed their public
12:55
school systems and public services.
12:57
They took tax dollars from my pocket, from your pocket, and
13:00
from all the American people. They wasted FEMA's dollars.
13:04
And like I've talked about, FEMA has not even filed claims from
13:06
Katrina and from Fort Myers hurricane in the last few years.
13:10
FEMA is a corrupt agency and it's time we're able to take
13:12
those dollars back and spend them on things that actually
13:15
help the American people, like getting rid of illegal
13:18
immigrants in our country. It brings us to our next topic,
13:20
a story that's quietly ripped the conservative influencer
13:23
ecosystem wide open, the recent wave of paid attacks on Tucker
13:27
Carlson and Candace Owens. And we'll look at who's funding
13:30
them, who's speaking out, and what it says about the new
13:32
political machine reshaping right wing media from the
13:34
inside. So let's go hold this out.
13:36
What it really is, it's propaganda, it's money
13:39
laundering. That's what these micro
13:40
influencers are doing when political campaigns, both
13:43
Democrat and Republican, cut checks to social media.
13:46
Nobodies to regurgitate the same pre approved talking points in
13:50
pretty much perfect. These aren't real voices rising
13:53
from the people, they're paid actors pretending to be
13:55
grassroots and it's poisoning political discourse in this
13:58
country. You've got these influencers
14:00
with 10,000 and maybe 100,000 followers getting handed from
14:03
500 to 5000 to mimic a post. Whatever the party wants them to
14:08
say. If they want to say Trump's bad,
14:11
If they want to say Trump's good.
14:12
But this week they have been ganging up on Candace Owens and
14:15
Tucker Carlson. And guess what?
14:17
You'll never see it in their bio.
14:19
You won't see it in these people's posts that they're paid
14:22
ads or partnered content. You'll think that these are
14:25
their actual beliefs if you don't actually understand that
14:28
there are companies who pay people to just say these things.
14:32
Shell companies, political action companies, ad agencies,
14:36
middle men to evade the disclosure laws.
14:38
They're flooding your feed with political content that's
14:40
manufactured, rehearsed design to look authentic, and it's all
14:44
fake. And then when Washington Post
14:46
admits to millions are being funneled into these operations
14:49
with scant regulatory oversight, that should terrify literally
14:54
everybody. It's not marketing.
14:55
It's narrative control and propaganda.
14:57
It's the weaponization of social media algorithms and Democrats
15:02
really lead the way in these corrupt practices and they're
15:05
proud of it. They don't hide it at all.
15:07
They constantly, you saw Democrats, 22 of them posted the
15:10
exact same video and those were all senators and congressmen.
15:13
The Democrats have taken the blueprint for cultural
15:15
subversion and scaled it to the 9th degree.
15:18
Biden's favorite super PAC bragged about paying 150
15:22
influencers close to 1,000,000 just to span your TikTok and
15:25
Instagram feeds with Vote Blue and save democracy slogans.
15:30
They even branded it as a creator program like the running
15:32
a Netflix pitch room or something.
15:35
Next Gen. Action is another leftist pack.
15:37
They spent 2,000,000 on digital outreach.
15:40
Hundreds of paid protesters flooding social media with
15:43
rehearsed talking points. Notice these accounts never
15:45
mentioned he's paying them. No disclaimers, no ethics, just
15:49
pure manufactured content. This is the modern left.
15:52
They don't win debates, they don't win on policy.
15:55
They sure as hell don't win the hearts of Americans.
15:58
They buy them. They carpet bomb your kids for
16:00
you pages with government funded propaganda, influencers reciting
16:04
state sanctioned scripts, and because it's chopped up like
16:07
meme content most people never even realize it.
16:10
And the right does it too. Again, it's not just the left
16:13
but they do it with less strategy.
16:15
Conservatives are one of the biggest and worst parts of this.
16:17
Conservative influencers will target other conservative
16:20
influencers. Like I said, people going at
16:23
Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens right now.
16:25
And it's mainly people in the conservative base saying they
16:27
hate America. That they've gone back on
16:29
everything they used to stand for and that they are just lost.
16:32
And that they're propagandists. But in reality, the people who
16:35
are being paid to push these message are obviously the real
16:38
propagandists. This is why the America First
16:40
movement is so good and so simple.
16:43
We don't need scripts, we don't need handlers, and we sure as
16:45
hell don't need to be bribed to stand up for this country.
16:48
The people pushing this movement do it because we believe in it,
16:51
not because of a super PAC or because of a payout.
16:54
We believe that Americans should be first in America, that our
16:58
government has a duty to protect and serve us plus over foreign
17:02
citizens, that our tax dollars should not be wasted, and that
17:04
we should get a say in the way our tax dollars are spent.
17:07
Our tax dollars are being wasted.
17:09
It's waste, fraud, and abuse. They're literally spending our
17:11
tax dollars to see how much alcohol you have to give a
17:14
Japanese quail until it has sex with another one.
17:16
Or if you give a fish tequila or rum, what will make it fight
17:19
more? Or if you chop a beagle's head
17:21
off, what will another Beagle do?
17:23
These are the things our government is literally funding.
17:26
When you see someone talking about God, family, borders, and
17:29
sovereignty on their timeline and it actually sounds like they
17:31
mean it, they're not reading off a paycheck.
17:33
We're in this because we have to be.
17:35
Because this country is being eaten alive by corporate funded
17:38
phonies cosplaying as patriots and activists.
17:41
This influencer program is bigger than just politics.
17:44
It's a full blown crisis and if we don't start exposing the fake
17:47
ecosystem on both sides, we'll lose the country to scripted
17:50
shills. 1 post at a time. Coordinated smear campaigns, The
17:54
Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson allegations just show how rotten
17:59
the system is truly gotten. It shouldn't be that hard to
18:01
just get back to a common sense America where we're not paying
18:05
influencers to repeat points they don't mean, Where we're not
18:08
paying people to spread misinformation about other
18:10
people just because you don't like them.
18:11
But we're not allowing foreign lobbyists to infiltrate our
18:14
government. Where we're not allowing other
18:15
countries to take advantage of us, Where we're not allowing
18:18
illegals to break over our border and not expect
18:21
consequences. These are America First
18:24
policies. These are basic common sense
18:26
policies in America. We need to put Americans first.
18:29
American taxpayers first. American citizens first.
18:32
Not the citizens of other countries.
18:34
Not asylum seekers who violated our sovereignty and abused the
18:38
asylum program. Not the terrorists.
18:41
Not anyone who's not American. We need to be supporting
18:44
Americans. We need to be supporting
18:46
American infrastructure, American jobs, American economy,
18:49
no new wars in foreign nations, and we need to support American
18:53
sovereignty. That means deporting the
18:55
illegals, setting up these jails like Alligator Alcatraz, and
18:59
removing the Twitter bots on Twitter who are literally taking
19:03
money to push propaganda. That should be a huge problem
19:06
and something that is illegal in politics in this country.
19:09
If you took out all forms of lobbying in politics, you would
19:13
see a lot less people would go into politics because there
19:15
would be a lot less corrupt people who want to get in the
19:18
industry. A lot of people get into
19:19
politics because they know how corrupt it is and because they
19:22
know they can get rich. If you take lobbying out of it
19:25
and that's not able to happen, then there will be a lot better
19:28
people who want to get into politics.
19:30
And not only that, we'll see better outcomes of politics
19:33
because we won't have foreign nations and we won't have these
19:36
undercover companies who are posing as lobbyists trying to
19:40
push their agenda to the political party that they're
19:43
throwing money at. You can't throw 100 million to a
19:46
candidate so that we will go defend you in a war.
19:48
But that's exactly what happened with Israel.
19:50
They also threw 100 million towards Kamala in case she got
19:53
elected. These are things in our
19:55
government that need to be rooted out immediately.
19:57
These are problems in our government that if they're not
19:59
rooted out within the next five years, we'll start seeing a
20:02
steep decline in our country. I'm James Pascalides, this has
20:06
been America Unfiltered episode 77.
20:08
I'm signing off today. I hope you guys have a blessed
20:11
day and I'll see you guys tomorrow.
20:12
Thank you.
