1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:07,119
Speaker 1: It's the Ray Appleton Podcast from KMJ and kmjnow dot com.

2
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: By the way, Chris Ray just popped his head in

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: here and said, outfielder, outfielder, not infielder for Kyle Tuckner.

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: He made a little mistake death an easy mistake to

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: make acceptable.

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: President Trump said the US is going to be receiving

8
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: total access to Greenland under the terms of a framework

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: deal that was announced you know, a day earlier the

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: little get together in Davos. We're talking about it. It's

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,639
Speaker 1: being negotiated right now, the details of it, but essentially

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: it's it's total access. Hmm. He's telling that to a

13
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 1: Fox Business Networks morning with Maria. There's no end to it,

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: there's no time limit. I mean, that's you know, very vague.

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: But the President also ruled out using military force to

16
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: annex the world's largest island, thank god. I mean, he's

17
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: stressing that Greenland is critical for national secure early and

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: we'll be used for as you know, vaunted space based

19
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: Golden Dome, which everybody in this hemisphere says, yeah, we

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: want it, we want it. So everything comes over Greenland

21
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: if the bad guys starts shooting and it comes over Greenland.

22
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: We got him. It's pretty invaluable. It's amazing.

23
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 3: We will have all everything we want. We're getting everything

24
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: we want at no cost. So the so the Golden

25
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: Dome will be on Greenland, a.

26
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: Piece of it.

27
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 3: Yes, and it's a very important part because it's everything

28
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: comes over Greenland. If the bad guys start shooting, it

29
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 3: comes over Greenland, so we knock it down. It's pretty infallible.

30
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 3: It's amazing. You know, Ronald Reagan had the idea a

31
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: long time ago, but we didn't have any technology at

32
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 3: that point. The concept was great, but there was no technology.

33
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: Now we have unbelievable technology. I mean virtually one hundred percent.

34
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: So what are we talking about an acquisition of Greenland?

35
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: Are you going to pay for it? I mean we're

36
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: talking about it. It's really being negotiated now, the details

37
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 3: of it. But essentially it's total access. It's there's no end,

38
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: there's no time limit.

39
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: If those of you who are old enough to resident,

40
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: those of you who are old enough to remember President

41
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: Ronald reagular I remember Star Wars. That was his version

42
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: of this Star Wars, but we didn't have the technology. Now,

43
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: I mean the president has long city sits in obtaining

44
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: Greenland for the US, but stepped up his rhetoric towards

45
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: Denmark and the current owner of the island, basically and

46
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: other European countries this week, but earlier this month, he

47
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: threatened to impose ten percent tariffs on eight I think

48
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: it was eight. Dirrect me if I'm wrong European countries

49
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: starting February the first, due to the frustration with them

50
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: sending troops to Greenland in an apparent show of defiance

51
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: to Washington. But yesterday, following the meeting with the the

52
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: NATO Secretary, the President called off all the tariffs and

53
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: announced a deal outline was in place. Now, details of

54
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: the framework, as I've been saying, are murky, but the

55
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: reports indicate the US would get more control over the

56
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: land hosting the US military installations. They promised that a

57
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, as well as European agreement to

58
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: beef up the Arctic security, which I happen to agree

59
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: that they need to do. Right So, pressed about whether

60
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: the framework means the US will ultimately obtain Greenland, I mean,

61
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: come on, Donald Trump responded, I don't know if I

62
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: can say that, but it could be. It's possible. Anything

63
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: is possible. He always talks in those sort of you know,

64
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: big words, anything is possible. So multiple you know, European

65
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: officials have stressed that the framework leaves Denmark in control

66
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: of the island. Okay, that's fine, That's exactly what I

67
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: said was going to happen. You know, do we have

68
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: access to the minerals, do we have access to the waterways?

69
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be all a part of

70
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: the deal, all a part of the deal. Good, good,

71
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: That's the way it should have been from the beginning. Frankly,

72
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: I got to say this, you know, because I've been

73
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: against this whole thing, but not this, not what's happened.

74
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: But I think the only way we could have gotten

75
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: there is through Donald Trump casting his big shadow as

76
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: an aggressive hawk hawk with a you know, a peace

77
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: sign on his chest. That's about what he is. And

78
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: that sort of made the Greenlandic people and the you know,

79
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: Kingdom of Denmark a little nervous. Not that anything was

80
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: ever going to happen to them, Not in a thousand

81
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: years would that happened to them. But you know, he

82
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: had to be a little bit of a bully with

83
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: that rhetoric. If it got to the point of being

84
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: a bully to get them to agree to what they've

85
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: agreed to in happy days, federal authorities comments comments, you

86
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 1: want to talk about this. I mean, I'm forever up

87
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: for talking about Greenland. I think this whole chapter in

88
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: American history with this president has been pretty freaking amazing.

89
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: Four nine zero fifty eight fifty eight. We've opened up

90
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: all the lines. Eight hundred seven seven six fifty eight

91
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: fifty eight. Be my guest, Be my guest. And you know,

92
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: I think in the conversations that you and me have

93
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: had about Greenland, I don't think I've had anybody go

94
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: along with Donald Trump to that nth degree of like, yeah, no,

95
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: we're going to have the island, let's take it. Yeah.

96
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: I mean some people have been close, but most of

97
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: you been like I think you've been a little nervous

98
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: to make that commitment. Ah, there go the phones. Four

99
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: nine zero fifty eight fifty eight and eight hundred and

100
00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: seven seven six fifty eight fifty eight. I think this

101
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: is going to probably put putin back on his heels

102
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: a little bit, gonna shut him down. But he hasn't

103
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: got much to offer now, after blowing most of his

104
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: military in Ukraine. By the way, I heard the Zelenski

105
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: and offered a bullitstering speech in Davos yesterday, just you know,

106
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: castigating a lot of the European nations for not helping

107
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: him out. Rightfully, he should have done that. I have

108
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: no problem with anything that he said. I don't know

109
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: what he said, but I don't have a problem with it,

110
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: considering what the targets were. All right, Greenland, Greenland, Anthony,

111
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: you're on, came Jay, go my brother, talk to me.

112
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 4: Hey, Ray, how are you doing. Brother? Hey, I've been

113
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 4: listening to you for a long time and I just

114
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 4: want a voice. You know what, nobody understands Trump, and

115
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 4: I think that's on purpose. I think that Trump has

116
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 4: an agenda. I think he has a USA. I think

117
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 4: he has the best interest for our country in mind.

118
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 4: I agree, And as you've said, many, many, many, many times,

119
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 4: it's the art of the deal.

120
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: Why would he divulge or express the interests of his

121
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 2: end game? Doesn't make sense.

122
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't. And as much as I want to know,

123
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: I don't want him to do it just yet. Go ahead,

124
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:24,239
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry.

125
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 4: Well, the whole.

126
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: Rhetoric of kicking him by fours and and and flexing

127
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: the military power of the United States of America. It's

128
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: all a bunch of it's a bunch of window dressing,

129
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: to say the least. He knew, he had a plan,

130
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 2: and he expressed it. He got what he wanted and

131
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: for the most part, will be better off as a country.

132
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: And anybody who disagrees with us being better off of

133
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 2: the country, maybe they shouldn't be here.

134
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 4: Ray think about it.

135
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a few I'd like to see go back

136
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: and believe me, Anthony, thank you, thank you. In all right,

137
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: good call. It'll be your turn to talk on the

138
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: Ray Appleton program. That's what I like the most talking

139
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: with you. Greenland four nine zero fifty eight fifty eight.

140
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: One more time eight hundred and seven seven six fifty

141
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: eight fifty eight. Everybody, stay put. Will dive right back

142
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: onto the phones after a news update right now on KMJ.

143
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: His list
