![Watch: I asked President Trump what he'd say to Americans who don't realize that communism is knocking on their doorstep. He gives a dire warning, saying the U.S. is now "in more danger than it was during World War I, World War II...9/11, Pearl Harbor." "When you go communist, you never come back...You die in squalor. You die a horrible death. You die in squalor. And it gets very evil and very nasty." "And you're right. [Communism] has become international, but it's never worked, and it's not going to work. What is working is the United States." 🇺🇸🔥 Watch our full conversation at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey:](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2074911841340252611/amplify_video_thumb/2074911690748035072/img/bRTSUU05hv-8Qrro.jpg)

My family escaped Communism to come to the U.S. Today in the Oval Office, I asked President Trump why he's warning Americans about Communism in a new statement. His response was powerful: “You're going to get free rent, you're going to get free houses, you're going to get free food, you're going to get free everything, but eventually that ends, and it leads to death, destruction, and squalor 100% of the time.” On Mayor Mamdani in NYC: “I don't understand why he thinks it's okay for all these companies that pay hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes a year to leave, because you're not going to have any tax base.” “Free enterprise is tougher to sell, but that's what's made our country great, and that's why it's great again now.”

Thank you, President Donald J. Trump, Karoline Leavitt, and the entire Cabinet for letting me share my story as a White House reporter once robbed at gunpoint and pistol-whipped in DC. My family and I are hopeful seeing changes now happening. And I pray other crime victims feel the same.

News: President Trump tells me he will keep the National Guard in DC, "and don’t lower the number either.” Sec. Hegseth announces they’ll “surge” this summer. The President adds they’ve taken out 5,000 “hardcore criminals” who came from prisons, drug deals, and mental institutions. “Washington D.C. is now a safe and beautiful place, and it's only going to get more beautiful,” he tells me.

Watch: President Trump tells me, "I don't need this heat" for offering to send military troops to help Democrat-run cities. “But when I watched television last night…and I see that 9 people were killed in Chicago and 54 were badly wounded with bullets. I say that's not this country. We have to do something.” “It's an honor to do it. It's a lot of presidents who wouldn't do what I'm doing," he tells me.

A fisherman was in tears today as he thanked President Trump for signing a proclamation to bring fishing back to the USA 🇺🇸. I asked President Trump how directly listening to everyday Americans influences his policies. He tells me: “These people built the country, not the complainers…Me, guys like me, they built the country.” “Look at what's happened in Minnesota, Somalia. All these people came in from Somalia; they ripped off our system." He went on to talk about elections: “I won Minnesota three times easily. I won almost every county, but they didn't give it to me. It's a corrupt system, very corrupt state.”

Watch: I asked Karoline Leavitt about parents' concerns for kids' safety after MN school shooting. She tells me a DC juvenile was arrested last night after a probe into posts threatening school violence. 7 guns were seized. “As a parent myself, there are no words to describe the heartbreak that these families must be enduring…it’s why this administration is focused on removing public safety threats from our communities,” Leavitt says.

I asked President Trump about the latest shooting outside the White House. He told me, “When you are a consequential president, your life is in danger." “I can’t think about it because if I thought about it a lot, I wouldn't be here, I’d probably be up in some room with a locked door and said, ‘just leave me alone,’ so I can't really think about it…What I’m doing is a dangerous business.”

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller confirmed to me that the administration is telling federal workers to scrub gender pronouns from their email signatures. The move is "consistent with the President's Day One executive order on recognizing that there are only male and female sexes in the country...and that your sex is your biological sex."

I asked President Trump today about his latest push to add the SAVE AMERICA ACT to the Pentagon reconciliation package, which only needs a simple GOP majority (50 + Vance) to pass, ahead of the midterms. “We need it for our elections. We need to have voter identification, which we don't have right now on a national basis.” “You look at California, they send out millions of ballots, tens of millions. They have no idea what's going on. Those elections are so corrupt,” President Trump tells me about the recent CA primaries.

Watch: I asked President Trump what his biggest accomplishment was from the Scotland trip. He told me the EU trade deal is "fantastic" and "making our country very rich." "It’s about time somebody did it." The EU deal secures $750 billion in energy sales and $600 billion in investments to supercharge American jobs, while slashing tariffs to 15% and opening their markets to US goods.

Watch: President Trump tells me he’s “very concerned” about mail-in voting in the midterms, as Maryland sends “500,000 fake ballots” that he says could “infect our system.” “I've asked the law enforcement to look at it very, very strenuously." Maryland announced last week that a “vendor error” caused some voters to get mail-in ballots for the wrong political party. And since officials don’t know how many were affected, they’re re-mailing replacement ballots to more than 500,000 people who requested mail-in ballots. While state officials call it an "isolated" administrative error, President Trump says these “totally fraudulent” ballots are the reason why Maryland was “automatically a Democrat state.” “So, what happens to the original? Are they going to come in and infect our system? So, it's a very, very serious thing that's happened," he tells me.

I was at both the Butler assassination attempt and the WHCD last night. The scary moments were shockingly similar—clear gunshots heard, a few seconds of silence, some started to scream, and everybody got down. What’s different is the security perimeter and the speed of crowd evacuation. My reporting last night from the White House, after rushing from the Washington Hilton. (biked over in my evening gown)

Tonight on NEWSMAX with Ed Henry, I shared my story of being robbed and pistol-whipped in DC 2 years ago. As a White House reporter, I covered crime stats for years, but nothing prepared me for the trauma. Each number hides a life forever changed. Here's my story:

News: "Big announcement" on religious liberty coming in two weeks, President Trump tells me. "Religious liberty is so important...and we're doing things on that that nobody else has ever done," President Donald J. Trump says. The DHS is awarding $110 million to faith-based organizations to enhance security, Secretary Kristi Noem announced after the Minnesota Catholic school shooting last week. Karoline Leavitt told me "important policy discussions" will happen following investigations into the shooting.
