1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: But you gotta line up behind our president Donald Trump

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: at Davos. He's gonna be there with all the billionaires, kazilionaires,

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: masters of the universe. Leaders are what we call first

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: world countries. In Switzerland, which was always famous for being

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: neutral and where you could hide money in a Swiss

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: bank account and of also Swiss mess hot chocolate. You know,

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: the hawk is talking it's getting cold out there, It's

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: gonna get colder, and it so reminds me of Greenland.

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: I don't think they've ever had a demonstration in Greenland before,

10
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: but over the weekend we are not for sale and

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: signs up with their reindeers. No means now, that's something

12
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: that Andrew Cuomo never understood, right, No means no. Uh,

13
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: Yankee go home, Yankee go home. As if we were

14
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: talking about a third world country in Central or South America,

15
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: Greenland is all any great hands off us, say make

16
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: America go away. These were demonstrations against us in Greenland

17
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: and in our best ally in Europe, Denmark, in Copenhagen,

18
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: and they're all scratching their heads and saying, what you know,

19
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: with part of NATO, you want to hit us with

20
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: a ten percent tariff these tariffs are ridiculous. The US

21
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: Senate needs to grow a pair. That's their responsibility and

22
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: saying no, we have the responsibility to issue tariffs. You know,

23
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: everybody wants to talk about James Monroe, the Monroe Doctrine

24
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: now called the don Doctrine by President Trump. No, no, no,

25
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: The more important president is James Madison, who created the

26
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: balance in government because he said, you cannot trust any

27
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: group of individuals to make decisions that are beneficial to

28
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: the people. That has to be checks and balances. The

29
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: guy who wrote the Constitution, the guy who wrote the

30
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: Bill of Rights. Maybe some of you out there want

31
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: to do away with the Constitute, do away with the

32
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: Bill of Rights. This is nuts, I'm sure right now

33
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: someone in Hollywood is planning on creating a movie. We

34
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: had Canadian Bacon, you remember in nineteen ninety five, done

35
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: by yes, Michael Moore, the documentarian. But this was a

36
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: movie with John Candy. Do you remember Crash as Sheriff

37
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: Bud Boomer, who was absorbing all the propaganda campaign to

38
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: villify Canada by Alan Alter. The president who needed who

39
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: needed a boost in his popularity. Although I had nothing

40
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: to do with the midterm elections. I was RAI a

41
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: prol man. I remember Jim Blueshi Ripped torn Dan Ackleroyd,

42
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: now all the Canadian actors. That was a great movie.

43
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: And remember the headline, help America fight the Canadians. Well

44
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: wait a second, you know recently Trump did that when

45
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: Trudeau is still the Prime minister. Hopelessly liberal. He said

46
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: he wanted to annext Canada and make it the fifty

47
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: first state. He said, Canada will dissolve without the Ussay. Well, then,

48
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: as I gotta tell you, I'm out in the streets

49
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: every day you go to Times Square, you get a

50
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: pretty good litmus tessue of the tourists who are coming in.

51
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: Tourism is down. The one group that always used to come,

52
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 1: that love coming to New York City, Canadians. Yeah, they're

53
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: not coming that much anymore. I wonder why, what is

54
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: wrong with our president? What happened to America? First? You know,

55
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: let's take care of things here in the USA course

56
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: of living, I mean, the affordability jobs for America. Let's

57
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: focus on America first. Now it's America wants to rule

58
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: the world. And I don't know about some of you,

59
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: maybe you're all into this. Maybe whatever way thes you're

60
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: on board. You're like high fiving him for this, and

61
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: you know there wasn't the attempt. Think back. A lot

62
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: of you aren't thinking back. He's always had this obsession

63
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: with Greenland. In his first term of office, he wanted Greenland.

64
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: And remember I think it was right after Hurricane Maria.

65
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Hurricane Maria that was like twenty seventeen and

66
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: the like devastated Puerto Rico and he goes, ah, that's

67
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: costing us too much money to repair Puerto Rico. You know,

68
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: they've had an earthquake, they've had hurricane Why don't we

69
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: just swap Greenland for Puerto Rico. I'm asking you right now,

70
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,239
Speaker 1: in this Arctic fridge, where would you rather be crashed

71
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: in Puerto Rico or Greenland? I think we know where

72
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: most Americans would go, Puerto Rico. And I remember he

73
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: had his fellow classmate, a Wharton School of Business, Ron Lauder,

74
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: you know, the cosmetics guy who had known Trump quite well,

75
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: will in New York, and he tried to convince President

76
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: Trump at the time of his first term I think

77
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: it was twenty seventeen or twenty eighteen swap Puerto Rico

78
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: for Greenland. This unbelievable obsession with Greenland, unbelievable obsession in

79
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: having a Nobel Peace Prize, and an unbelievable obsession of

80
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: not knowing the history of Eric the Red leaf ericson

81
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: how the Norsemen actually went west and they weren't trying

82
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: to find the east like Christopher Columbus five hundred years later.

83
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: And you know you could learn all this the annual parade.

84
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, bay Ridge, you had no did you know

85
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: that crash? You know they have the Norwegian parade there

86
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: up third fourth Avenue in honor of leaf Ericson. They

87
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: stopped in the park there at like sixty eighth and

88
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: Erica read, Oh quite story. Maybe Americans need to go

89
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: back and study history and understand why our president couldn't

90
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: be more hopelessly wrong on this. So you can rise

91
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: to the occasion, you could explain to me on this

92
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: your time to be heard. Why, as the President has

93
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: told the Prime Minister of Norway, which by the way,

94
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: has nothing at all to do with Greenland, that it

95
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: is up to us to seize Greenland in the United

96
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: States to provide security for the world. Yeah, And have

97
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: I heard anybody challenge it? Other than Democrats. Obviously, they'll

98
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: challenge everything that Trump said. No, no, no, You know,

99
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: fellow Republicans, independence, people who believe that you process information

100
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: have it. It don't sound right. I guarantee you it

101
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: ain't right. One ain't one hundred three two one zero

102
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: seven ten. That's one eight hundred three two one zero

103
