1
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: Hey there, folks, it is Saturday, January seventeenth, in a

2
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: developing story. That story is the President just will not

3
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: let this Greenland thing go. And now he has escalated

4
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: this thing even more and he has threatened now allies

5
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: support me or you are going to pay literally, And

6
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Ropes.

7
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 2: Uh.

8
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: Not much surprises us, but this is getting a little

9
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: more gangster than we could even imagine. He is threatening everybody.

10
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: I want Greenland and I'm gonna get it.

11
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: Am I being dramatic when it feels like world domination

12
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: and it feels like the leverage that he's using, which

13
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: are tariffs, are just holding people financially hostage so that

14
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: he can bulldoze his way and his policy, not just

15
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: here in America but across the world.

16
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 3: This is yes.

17
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 2: I continue to be surprised and rendered speechless in moments

18
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 2: by his moves.

19
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: So, yes, folks, So here on this now Saturday afternoon,

20
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: we're just hopping on because it's a short time ago.

21
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: We got a message from President Trump, a message, of

22
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: course he gives so often now through truth social A message,

23
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: very long message, and I dare I say this is

24
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: the longest one I have ever seen him ride up.

25
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: There was another one. I can't remember that topic.

26
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 2: Well, when you said that was the longest, you said,

27
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: the President has just put out a post, and I

28
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: believe it's the longest one he's ever put up. And

29
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 2: I actually was thinking to myself, Nah, it isn't possible.

30
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: Then I looked at it. I think you're right.

31
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 3: You're right.

32
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I yeah, I thought maybe you're just making

33
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: a point. Actually, I do think it might be the longest.

34
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: And he has many runners up.

35
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, And this thing is detailed, it was thought through,

36
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: and he has put the world on notice. The just here, folks,

37
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: is that he has told eight countries, including Denmark, if

38
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: you do not go along with my plan of buying Greenland,

39
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna hit you with a ten percent tariff,

40
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: and if you don't go along after that, I'm gonna

41
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: hit you with a twenty five percent tariff. And he

42
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: has specific dates and times for it in place, and

43
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: the country's impacted robes includes the UK.

44
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: These are our When you said our allies, you ain't kidding.

45
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: These are some of our, if not our closest allies.

46
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: So we are very friendly folks in.

47
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: This groups are via President Trump threatening friends and perhaps

48
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: turning them into frenemies.

49
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 3: But starting February first, that's just around the corner of people.

50
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: That's what two weeks away from now.

51
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 2: If they don't get in life and support his plan

52
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: to purchase Greenland. Starting February first, there will be ten

53
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: percent tariffs, that is significant, and by June first, there

54
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 2: will be the twenty five percent tariffs.

55
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 3: And yes, let's give the list of.

56
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 2: The eight nations that we are now currently threatening and

57
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 2: holding financial woes over.

58
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: You know, I mentioned the UK of course, really really

59
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: close allies here, but these kind of our countries that

60
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: don't bother nobody like present day, yes, yes, present all

61
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: historically let's not started with Europe again. But you get

62
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. These aren't countries that are in the

63
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: middle of conflicts usual.

64
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: These are autonomous, democratic, self sufficient nations. Yes, we're talking

65
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: about Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the

66
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: Netherlands and Finland.

67
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: Are all about to get hit. And what he wants

68
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: when he says, all all these folks need to do

69
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: is get on board. You need to get on board

70
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: my plan and essentially publicly support me taking greenland or else.

71
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: That's I mean robes. That is bullying. Sure, you could say,

72
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: but that's I mean you're taking something by force, you're

73
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: taking it by economic force, You're taking it through threat.

74
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: That threat is economic, But what if the threat was

75
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:31,559
Speaker 1: by a gun.

76
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: But we are threatening physical, physical, and actually military action

77
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 2: if we aren't given permission of tariffs on the table. Yes,

78
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 2: you mentioned bullying. This is absolute bullying. And it's also

79
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: dare I say, an abusive power. Look, we are a

80
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: world power, if not the world power financially, militarily we are.

81
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 3: We are the lead of the free world.

82
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: So to take that position and use it then to

83
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: force an agenda on people and hijacking the way we

84
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 2: want things to go based on our power. We're using

85
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 2: our power, We're using our financial power, We're using our

86
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: military power to threaten other countries to either fold to

87
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 2: us and do what we tell them to do or else.

88
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 3: That is scary. You know.

89
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: The else is we're going to take your land. That's

90
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: the else. I mean, where have we ever been on

91
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: board with one autonomous sovereign region? When have we ever

92
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: been on board with another country just taking it?

93
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 3: We haven't, And historically speaking, it doesn't usually.

94
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: End well, just take it. We're just going to just dominate.

95
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: We have decided we're going to take land.

96
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 3: What are you going to do about it that benefits us?

97
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 2: Whether it's because it's oil rich, or it has an enviable.

98
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,239
Speaker 3: Port or access, you know, whatever.

99
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: It is that's convenient for what we need for our whatever,

100
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: either national security or you know what. You can put

101
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: whatever label you want on it, but as long as

102
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 2: it benefits us, we can just take what we want

103
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 2: and we will tell you how much we'll pay for it,

104
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: or we'll just take it and send in truths.

105
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: What happens on the buying it? What if the negotiation

106
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: they say nope, we're not going to accept that price.

107
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: Now is he going to force them to accept a price?

108
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,799
Speaker 1: How do you how are you going to negotiate a price?

109
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: I don't think about that. Roades. Yeah, I don't know

110
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do here. But here, let's let's let

111
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: you hear exactly what the President said this was, and

112
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: we'll do it in sections here. And it is a lot,

113
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: but we'll give it to you president word for word.

114
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 1: He starts off, we have subsidized Denmark and all the

115
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: countries of the European Union and others for many years

116
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: by not charging them tariffs or any other forms of remuneration. Now,

117
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: after centuries, it's time for Denmark to give back. World

118
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: peace is at stake. China and Russia want Greenland and

119
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it. Oh,

120
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: he almost made it sound like they could take it,

121
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: So why can't we?

122
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 2: That's one of the things I've been curious about, because

123
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: he said that, He's floated that several times that if

124
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 2: we don't take it, China.

125
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: And Russia will, or China or Russia will is.

126
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: There has there ever been any indication, any inquiry, any interest, I.

127
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: Don't know by China or Russia.

128
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: I certainly haven't seen headlines or stories written at all

129
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: about either one of those countries gunning for Greenland.

130
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 3: But maybe I don't. Maybe I'm just out of it,

131
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 3: and I don't know.

132
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: You haven't been getting the high level security briefings I've

133
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: been getting.

134
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: All right, So look, he said it before, but the

135
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: only person I've ever heard talk about that is President Trump.

136
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 3: Never heard anyone else say that about China and Russia.

137
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 3: All right, we will continue.

138
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: This is the second paragraph of President Trump's truth social post.

139
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: They currently have two dog sleds as protection. One added recently,

140
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: only the United States of America under in all caps

141
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: President Donald J. Trump can play in this game, and

142
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 2: very successfully. At that exclamation point, nobody will touch this

143
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 2: sacred piece of land, especially since the national security of

144
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 2: the United States and the world at large is at

145
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: stake on top of everything else. Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany,

146
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to

147
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 2: Greenland for purposes unknown.

148
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: He's now just a vague accusation that they're up to something.

149
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they have sent troops there with word

150
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 2: that we might send ours.

151
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 3: Yes, that is true. But he's acting as if there's

152
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 3: some evil.

153
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 2: Purpose behind their intrusion into Greenland for purposes unknown.

154
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: We really do need to go back and watch the

155
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: first Greenland. I think the second one came out this weekend.

156
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 3: Yes, I wonder how well the movie's gonna do, given

157
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 3: Greenland being.

158
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: In the news the way it is, because Gona is

159
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: gonna do better because it was not on my radar.

160
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: Now I'm like, oh, we gotta go watch.

161
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: I should watch the first one after we finish this

162
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: episode and then go and watch the movie in the

163
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: theaters tomorrow.

164
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: The President continues, they currently have ah, excuse me that

165
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: with your Dog's land one, this one is next. This

166
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: is a very dangerous situation for the safety, security, and

167
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: survival of our planet. These countries who are playing this

168
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: very dangerous game have put a level of risk in

169
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: play that is not tenable or sustainable. Therefore, it is

170
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: imperative that in order to protect the global peace and security,

171
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: strong measures be taken so that there's potentially perilous situation

172
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: in quickly and without.

173
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 2: Question, potentially perilous situation, a very dangerous game.

174
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: Where is the day like the Hunt for Red October?

175
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 3: Like, what is he talking about?

176
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: Well, I mean he's he is putting it on our

177
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: radar and making This is how it works, right, it's

178
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: public opinion. You're trying to get people to believe that, yes,

179
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: there is some current threat. There is a threat right there,

180
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: and we need.

181
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 2: It because look, obviously neither one of us have security readings.

182
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 2: We don't understand threats or security.

183
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 3: Things that are going on behind the scenes.

184
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: But I'm just saying this is the first I have

185
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: ever heard of there being some threat from any other

186
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: country via Greenland. Like this is just it's all now

187
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: being built up to some big, huge storyline of peril

188
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 2: and danger, and I just feel like it's all being created.

189
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: Who knew Greenland? Those pesky Greenlanders.

190
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 3: All fifty seven thousand of them with their two dog

191
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 3: sleds and fully armed. My goodness, all right, he continues.

192
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: Starting on February first, twenty twenty six, all of the

193
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 2: above mentioned countries Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom,

194
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 2: the Netherlands and Finland will be charged a ten percent

195
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 2: tariff on any and all goods sent to the United

196
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 2: States of America. On June first, twenty twenty six, the

197
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: tariff will be increased to twenty five percent. This tariff

198
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 2: will be due and payable until such time as a

199
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 2: deal is reached for the complete and total purchase of Greenland.

200
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: Wow, we're going to tax you until I get my

201
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: so I get Greenland.

202
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna squeeze you financially until you do what

203
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 3: I say.

204
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: I still wonder how do you negotiate the deal? How

205
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: do you negotiate the price? Say? Okay, fine, we'll sell

206
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: it to you. We want seventeen trillion dollars. I don't know, then,

207
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how they go for He says, nope,

208
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: I'll give you fifty thousand. Like, what is the number?

209
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: How can you He gets to decide what he buys

210
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: and how much he pays for it. What a marketplace

211
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: it it? Look?

212
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: People have said it's anywhere from I mean a lot

213
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 2: of people have said seven hundred billion, But I have

214
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 2: seen one trillion. And okay, how's he paying for that?

215
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 3: We're already in debt? My god, how are we paying

216
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 3: for that? Who's who's? How are we purchasing another man

217
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 3: a massive land for seven hundred billion dollars?

218
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: Oh? My goodness? All right, Well, well no.

219
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 3: I'm saying, do we do? We keep reading? He's got

220
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 3: two more paragraphs.

221
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,239
Speaker 2: The United States has been trying to do this transaction

222
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 2: for over one hundred and fifty years, have we? Many

223
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 2: presidents have tried, and for good reason, but Denmark has

224
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: always refused. Now, because of the Golden Dome and modern

225
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 2: day weapons systems, both offensive and defensive, the need to

226
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: acquire is especially important. Hundreds of billions of dollars are

227
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 2: currently being spent on security programs having to do with

228
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 2: the Dome, including for the possible protection of Canada. And

229
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 2: this very brilliant but highly complex system can only work

230
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 2: at its maximum potential and efficiency because of angles, meats,

231
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: and bounds if this land is included in it. The

232
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 2: United States of America is immediately open to negotiation with

233
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 2: Denmark and or any of these countries that have put

234
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 2: so much at risk despite all that we have done

235
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 2: for them, including maximum protection over so many decades.

236
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 3: Thank you for your attention to this matter.

237
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: And there it is your move. How do you push?

238
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: How do you press that we're about to tax goods

239
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: from eight allies indefinitely until he gets Greenland at a

240
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: price yet to be determined. Well, folks, we will remind you.

241
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: Stay here, will remind you where Denmark and Greenland are

242
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: on this thing, because they had two of their representatives'

243
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: top representatives at the White House this week, one of

244
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: them left in tears. Stay here, all right, We continue

245
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: to here on this Saturday developing story. This afternoon, President

246
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: Trump has let the world know he wants Greenland. He

247
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: is for real, and he is willing to punish allies

248
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: to get it. He has put out a list of

249
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: eight countries, says he will hit them with tariff starting

250
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: at ten percent, then will go up to twenty five

251
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: percent until such time as the United States has successfully

252
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: negotiated to purchase Greenland rogues. Their two foreign ministers were

253
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: at the White House this week for a meeting with

254
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: some pretty big dogs on our side. It seemed like

255
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: nothing came of that.

256
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, the JD Vance and Marco Rubio met with Greenland's

257
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: foreign minister, her name was Vivian Mottsville and the Danish

258
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: foreign minister Lars low Ki Rasmussen.

259
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 3: And look, the.

260
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 2: Danish foreign minister came out and he's the one who

261
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: used the words. What was his phrase? Oh that it

262
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: ended in fundamental disagreement. So it was like, basically, yes,

263
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: the politest way to say, we got nowhere. We're completely

264
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: on opposite ends of things and we have nowhere to

265
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: go from here. It's interesting because then there were many

266
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 2: headlines because Greenland's foreign minister, Vivian Mottsfeldt, was doing an

267
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: interview with a national broadcaster and she broke down.

268
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 3: She really did. She had to stop, She got choked up,

269
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 3: she got emotional.

270
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: She said, I would not normally like to say these words,

271
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: but I will say that we are very strong. We

272
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 2: are doing our utmost, but the last days naturally, and

273
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: then she broke off and actually started choking back tears,

274
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 2: and she had to say, oh, I am getting emotional.

275
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: I am overwhelmed. The last days have been tough. Our

276
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 2: preparations and the increasing pressure that has been intense. So yeah,

277
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: she left the meeting at the White House with President well,

278
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 2: not with President Trump, with Vice President Jade Vans and

279
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio. She got on television to talk to her

280
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: fellow countrymen and women, and she broke down because of

281
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: the pressure.

282
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: You know, I bet i'll we see her putting on

283
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: a good public face. We don't know what was happening

284
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: in that meeting. We don't know what messages are being

285
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: passed along. But you can only imagine. You hear sometimes

286
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: how they speak to people in public, and you imagine

287
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: maybe privately they are getting some harsh words, maybe they

288
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: are getting some intense pressure, maybe they are being threatened

289
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: in some way. But the way you describe her breaking down,

290
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: it seems like she has been beaten down.

291
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was one of those things.

292
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: When you watched the video, she wasn't boohooing, tears, weren't

293
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: streaming down her face.

294
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 3: But there was such deep emotion.

295
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: It was in her body and it had to come

296
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 2: out because of all the stress and pressure.

297
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 3: But she You know, they're trying to put on a

298
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 3: brave face.

299
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 2: They're using words like strength, and we are strong, and

300
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: we promise the Greenlandic people that they will feel safe

301
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 2: and live securely. So they feel this huge amount of responsibility.

302
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 2: And then they've got this, you know, President Trump, who's saying,

303
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 2: my way or the highway, and here are your choices.

304
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 3: We pay you or we invade you.

305
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: Your choice, and if you don't like it, Europe, you're

306
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 2: going to suffer financially.

307
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: Man man, man, man, Well, folks, that is not the

308
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: updates we were expecting today, but that's the one we

309
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: just got from President Trump. We will hop back on

310
