1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: If you love that school broad you know that bread

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Vaughn they love in the Scandinavian countries. The ludifis the

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: fiscal balls, because there's going to be a ten percent

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: tariff imposed on that.

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: Is this crazy? Yes?

6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 3: It is?

7
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: Was it crazy?

8
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: That I was stuck in Hurricane Noel in Halifax in

9
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: November of two thousand and seven crash two thousand and

10
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: seven ordionizing Guardian Angels. A hurricane hits everybody is grounded.

11
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: At that time, Citadel owned WABC. They had just fired

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: Ron Koby. I was part of the morning show. They

13
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: kept me overnight syndicated. It got rid of Kooby and

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: they brought in an Imus who started the beginning of

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: the next year, two thousand and eight. This all happened

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: while it was in a Halifax So while I'm there,

17
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: there's nothing to do, you're getting hit by a hurricane.

18
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm getting these historians who are coming up to me

19
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: and saying, oh, you know, Curtis, you know it was

20
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: Eric the Red from Norway. Why did they call him

21
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: Eric de Red because he was dressed and ready, he

22
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: had all red hair. He got exiled from Norway because

23
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: he killed a bunch of guys. He got charged with manslaughter,

24
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: so they sent him to Iceland. They banned him from Norway.

25
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: Remember he was a Viking at that time, Norseman. Then

26
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: his son is Leif Ericson, and his son kills some

27
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: guys in Iceland and he gets banned from manslaughter.

28
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: So he's got to go west.

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: Not to find the east the Columbus did five hundred

30
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 1: years later, and he lands along with his daddy, ericd

31
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: Red in what we now know is Greenland.

32
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: That's how long ago. This is like a thousand after

33
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:46,279
Speaker 2: the death of Christ.

34
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: And then he gets into a fight with his father,

35
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: Eric the Red, who believes in Odin, the Norse god,

36
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: and leif Erickson has become a Christian. So they part

37
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: company and leif Erickson continues that voyage going west. And

38
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: what does he land in Newfoundland? You know, not far

39
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: from Prince Edward Island, Halifax, where I was. So I

40
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: learned this whole history, and they showed where his encampment

41
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: was on a map. And you know, every year if

42
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: you go to bay Ridge, I'm in bay Ridge constantly.

43
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: They have the Norwegian Day Parade. It's May seventeenth. My

44
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: dad used to call them squareheads. Because he said the

45
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: Norwegians were the best seaman ever and my dad was

46
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: a merchant, seeming close to fifty years so they called

47
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: them squareheads because they would have always squared the map.

48
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: And they lived in Sunset Park in Bay Ridge. And

49
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: that parade ends at leif Ericson Park at sixty seventh

50
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: and third. So that's a little bit of the history

51
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: of how Denmark is involved in this and Scandinavian countries

52
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: and Iceland and Greenland and not the United States, which

53
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: has access to Greenland to do almost whatever we want

54
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: with our ally who's been there, suit sick and ten

55
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: for us and number is one eight hundred three to

56
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten. Let's quickly go to Bob,

57
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: who I believe is calling from Connecticut. Your turn to

58
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: be heard here at seven ten wo or Bob.

59
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 3: Jake Curtis, thanks for taking my call. I think you

60
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: should be the mayor of New York.

61
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question before before you patronize

62
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: me about you should be the mayor of New York.

63
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: You you said, thank you for taking my call. I

64
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: have just spent like forty minutes giving the number out.

65
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: I should be thanking you for calling up not. Oh

66
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: I know, Bob in Connecticut here, I'm gonna take your

67
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: call first. Okay, let's let's square that away.

68
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: Okay, you're right, Okay, accept your thanks, You're welcome.

69
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 4: I just want to say this is just one man's opinion, like,

70
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 4: why shouldn't we have Greenland. It's a gigantic track of

71
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 4: basically barren land, and there's like ice and rocks, it's nothing.

72
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 4: There's only fifty thousand people there. We could make much

73
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 4: better use of it than Denmark.

74
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: What does Denmark want with it?

75
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 4: Oh?

76
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: Yes, Well do we apply that to every land mass

77
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: in the world. You know, there are special minerals deep

78
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: underneath the tundra of Greenland that are worth billions and

79
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: billions of dollars. Just like that oil in Venezuela. You know,

80
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: we went in, we took to the oil. We're now

81
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: banking the money from the sale of the oil in

82
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: the six oil tankers that we've seized in Katar. Does

83
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: that bother you that we're banking it in Katar and

84
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: not any contry, not in a bank in the United States.

85
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: Bob, do you question that?

86
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 3: I have no idea. Oh yeah, that sounds weird to me.

87
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 3: I have no idea.

88
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: Okay, well, don't you think that all of us as

89
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: citizens will pay our taxes? Many of us who vote,

90
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: we have a right to be heard and say, wait,

91
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: wait about a second. Was seizing all the oil in Venezuela.

92
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: I get it.

93
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna help Venezuela down the line. But in the meantime,

94
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: whatever money comes in from the sale of the oil

95
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: or the six oil tankers that we've seized, we're gonna

96
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: put in a bank in Qatar.

97
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's weird, making.

98
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: All right, all right, tariff tariffs ridiculous.

99
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 3: They get a better interest rate on the money.

100
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: If yeah, it's called money laundering. Well, okay, okay, you

101
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: accept that.

102
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 3: I don't know, you know, I asked questions.

103
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: Oh my god, doesn't make sense.

104
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: Why Qatar? Why not in the United States? How many

105
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: banks do we have here? But you see, you can't

106
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: keep track of money in Qatar or a Dubai, a Switzerland,

107
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: and a Panama or the Cayman Islands. That's where you

108
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: go to lawndo money. I'm not suggesting we're laundering money,

109
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: but why Qatar? Inquiring minds want to know. Let's go

110
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: to Danny, who's calling from Long Island. Your turn to

111
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: be heard here at seven to ten wor Danny.

112
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 5: Well time, Curtis fans this. We first laid eyes on

113
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 5: each other. I was walking a beaten Times Square in

114
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 5: nineteen eighty six. You were in the back of my

115
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 5: brother's street crime cab, looking happy. Good times. Curtis is good.

116
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 5: We're getting old. Well, listen, this is pure Trump. One

117
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 5: of his biggest pet peeves is NATO. Well, who's sending

118
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 5: troops to Greenland? Now, Canada, Finland, the French they're gonna

119
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 5: end up defending You don't need you don't need a

120
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 5: fe hundred thousand troops on NATO to defend it. You

121
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 5: need one little base with some soldiers, put a little

122
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 5: port there that the American ships can come land, and

123
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 5: guess what, Now it's defended because you can't. You can't.

124
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 5: You can't annex any country, whether it's China or the

125
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 5: United States, if there's troops from another country sitting there,

126
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 5: like just like Tye, they're not aving Taiwan because of the

127
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 5: American soldiers there, not enough to defend the place, but

128
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 5: it would be an international scene. So this is pure Trump.

129
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 5: He's getting these Europeans. They don't want to do a

130
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 5: damn thing. He's got them all rallied against Trump, and

131
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 5: now what are they doing? Exactly what he wants them

132
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 5: to do, defend Greenland, not from Russia but from China.

133
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 5: They're all over there with their basis, just like we

134
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 5: saw purchasing Alaska was as steward ice box.

135
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: Hold on, you gotta ask you a question here, Danny.

136
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 5: Go ahead, Curtis.

137
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm always this is all a pre plan Trump in

138
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: the White House like, yeah, let's go them into sending

139
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: troops into Greenland.

140
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: I don't know the stent.

141
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: We already have a base in Greenland. We've had bases

142
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: there before. We have an open invitation to set up

143
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: bases wherever we want. You don't think this is about

144
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: the mineral deposits underneath the Ca tundra that is now

145
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: surfacing as the ice and the glaciers are melting, Curtis.

146
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 5: Everything is about minerals and oil and everything, and this

147
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 5: is just one place that the Chinese would like to have.

148
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 2: I'm sure, I'm sure.

149
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: But that's a totalitarian regime as is putin in Russia.

150
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: So now, even though we're supposed to have checks and balances,

151
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: he in the United States. Remember the Constitution, the Bill

152
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: of Wrights. Remember James Madison who said you have to

153
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: have checks and balances. We basically trust the president's moral

154
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: compass because they said, well, who keeps you in check?

155
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: Missed the president? He said, my moral compass.

156
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 5: He is not invading Greenland, can you? Is not gonna

157
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 5: be a military coup deta by the army or the

158
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 5: navy or the seal teams. I just paid two dollars

159
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 5: and forty nine cents for gas, and Trump by trust

160
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 5: the Fed. The Atlanta Chief of Fed just raised the

161
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 5: GPS has the midst of four point five for next year.

162
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 5: Everything he's done has come up roses so far. The

163
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 5: border is locked down. I'm gonna believe that there's a

164
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 5: plan in place for Greenland. And he knows exactly what

165
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 5: he oh.

166
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: Man, drink the kool aid drink the kool aid. Oh

167
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: gas is down, So whatever Trump does is okay by me.

168
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: He would never invade Greenland.

169
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: He just says this to force others to take care

170
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 2: of their responsibility.

171
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: This is the same guy, our president, who blamed the

172
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: Ukraine for starting the war with Russia.

173
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: Remember, oh, well, Russian invade Ukraine. No, no, no, that

174
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 2: was Ukraine. Yeah, yeah, yeah, what do we want in

175
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: the Ukraine? Oh? The valuable minerals? So is that what

176
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 2: this is?

177
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: Whatever we want in the world, we take even if

178
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: it ain't us, by threats, by intimidation, and then we

179
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: trust whoever is the president to be omnipotent, all knowing,

180
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: all trusting, and we don't have checks and balances. I

181
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: hope the United States Supreme Court does the right thing

182
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: on these tariffs tarffs. Really, so if I disagree with

183
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: the United States, we impose tariffs on you like they

184
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: did in Brazil.

185
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: How did that work out?

186
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 5: Right?

187
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 1: Oh, you're not going to tell us what to do

188
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: with our former president who tried to read the election Balsonario. No, no, oh,

189
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: fifty percent tariff the president Trump put on Lula, and

190
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: Lula said, okay, no, problem didn't work.

191
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: I realize a lot of you.

192
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: You like cheap energy, you like cheap gas. You believe

193
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: everything that Trump does. Maybe you'll think that he's going

194
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: to walk on water, you know, between Halifax, Greenland, Greenland

195
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: to Iceland, Iceland to Denmark, Denmark to Norway. And but

196
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 1: you're not going to challenge or question at Already you

197
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 1: like sheep. You need a sheep herder. And for so

198
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: many of you, whoever's in power, that's your she part,

199
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: it not me. One eight hundred and three two one zero.

200
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: From here we go to Minneapolis with there are a

201
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: lot of former Scandinavians who settled there many many decades ago,

202
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: and I'll give you my input on Ice versus Minneapolis

203
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,599
Speaker 1: and what the answer is. You don't want to go

204
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 1: anywhere on this. It should be a new listening station

205
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: seven to ten WR
