It is Monday, in the nineteenth of 14 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 1: January of the Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty six. 15 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: Let's get to the day's top stories. Could the US 16 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: really move to acquire Greenland? If diplomacy doesn't work, Why 17 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: are Ron's escalating crackdowns prompting fresh warnings from President Troumbill 18 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: bring on a veteran and former congressman to discuss foreign 19 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: policy affairs in that regard. Also, President Trump gearing up 20 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: for a trip over to Davos, Switcherland to speak at 21 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: the World Economic Forum's Annual Assembly. Later this week, I'll 22 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: check in with our Chief White House correspond to Brian 23 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: Glenn for a live update from Davos, and then later 24 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: I'll discuss the ongoing protests in Minneapolis and how anti 25 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: ice protesters decide to take their efforts into a church 26 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: to disrupt services on Sunday, an incident that's now being 27 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: investigated by the Department of Justice. All that and so 28 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: much more coming up at first, I want to circle 29 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: back to foreign policy to start the program today. President 30 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: Trump's renewed interest in Greenland is shaking up European politics. Allen, 31 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: There's no doubt a keyp peace of US strategy in 32 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: the Arctic, and it's there for national defense. Rich in minerals, 33 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: positioned on vital shipping lanes, and already home to America's 34 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: most Arctic air base. That combination gives Greenland major military 35 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: and economic importance. As tensions would China and Russia continue 36 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: to rise. So advanced that strategy President Trump has warren 37 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: European governments at Washington is ready to hit them with 38 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: Steve Tarras up to twenty five percent unless are willing 39 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: to negotiate on Greenland. It's really important you. Officials recently 40 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: called an emergency summon to discuss a response and are 41 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: considering a massive counter tariff package. Brussels claims the pressure 42 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: campaign is economic blackmail, while the White House argues it's 43 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: simply putting America first and defending long term strategic interests. 44 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: It's really important for Trump. Greenland isn't a gimmick. It's 45 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: part of a broader plan to secure the art that 46 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: can keep US rivals like China and Russia in check. 47 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: Join me to discuss is national security analyst Rebecca Grant, Rebecca, 48 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: thank you for being here. 49 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 4: Glad to be here. 50 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: Look, the overtures to it to acquire Greenland go back 51 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: to eighteen sixty seven, right after we bought Alaska. It 52 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: was also pretty important in the discussions, and nineteen forty 53 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: six Harry Truman offered one hundred million dollars equivalent to 54 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 1: about one and a half billion dollars in today's money. 55 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: President Eisenhower also put together a plan that made no 56 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: formal offer. So it's been in the mix for a 57 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: long time, and now because of incursions by Russia and China, 58 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: it's come to the forefront. The Europeans don't like it, 59 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: and to me, I say, that's not really relevant. It's 60 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: part of the Golden Dome plan. It's part of America's 61 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: national security, isn't it. 62 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 4: Well, Truman and Eisenhower were right. It's a prime piece 63 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 4: of real estate. If you're looking at the threat routes 64 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 4: for Russian or Chinese ballistic missiles, you have got to 65 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 4: have Greenland to secure the approaches to the US and 66 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 4: to Canada. Now remember President Trump realized this back during 67 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 4: his first term, and you know, I love what he's doing. 68 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 4: We've gone from Greenland, Oh maybe it's a problem, maybe 69 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 4: we should think about art security to suddenly Greenland is 70 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 4: at the top of the agenda for NATO, the top 71 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 4: of the agenda for the EU. And he is going 72 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 4: to get this problem solved one way or another, either 73 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 4: cash and carry or NATO will the resources in Greenland 74 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 4: to make it the defensive bastion it needs to be. 75 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: Well, let's be honest about this. I don't believe that 76 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: NATO would step up and help America or has the resources. Look, 77 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: they've neglected their militaries for decades. We all know that 78 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: the only respectful military on the European continent anymore is 79 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: probably France, but Germany and the UK they're not respectable. 80 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: In Denmark, the Kingdom of Denmark. Yes, they're a lovely 81 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: country that sends six or eight soldiers when we're in 82 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: a conflict, but that's not going to protect us from 83 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: Russian and Chinese incursions. And now we see Canada and 84 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: Mark Carne cozying up for the Chinese. I mean, I 85 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: see problems all over the playing field. 86 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 4: Well, that's right, and the threat of China has been 87 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 4: pretty clear for a long time. So a lot of 88 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 4: the activity over Greenland is to send that signal to 89 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 4: China that we're not going to tolerate any influence there, 90 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 4: and really to send the signal to Denmark as well. Now, 91 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 4: Denmark's a good ally NATO is a good alliance. The 92 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 4: stronger militaries are in the east point out like Poland. 93 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 4: But we do have to do something. We'll either see 94 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 4: a diplomatic resolution on Greenland or something else, but Trump 95 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 4: will get it done. Back to Canada, they have gone 96 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 4: and made a trade deal with China, and there's some 97 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 4: good aspects to it, there's some bad aspects to it. 98 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 4: Trump himself said, good, go out and make a deal, 99 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 4: because you know what he realizes and that we're all learning, 100 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 4: is that now you've got to have trade and confrontation 101 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 4: in your security policy. You can't just do military. You 102 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 4: got to do trade and military together, right, Hit. 103 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: Them where it hurts, hit them in the bottom line, 104 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: hit them in their GDP. That makes a difference to people. 105 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: So let's talk about that for a moment. Because the 106 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: threats of tariffs on European countries, on allies not sitting well. 107 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: Some say that if the Isatates pushed us forward against 108 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: control of Greenland, which I believe we will before Donald 109 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: Trump leaves office, and maybe significantly sooner, we will have 110 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: operational control there. And some of the analysts say, well, 111 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: that will blow up NATO. I don't know if that's true. 112 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: But on the other side of that, Rebecca, you say, 113 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: it's a good organization, it's a good alliance. But is 114 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: it after all their neglect of their militaries, after all 115 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: their neglect of putting in what they promised and not 116 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: keeping up with that they said they would do to 117 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: protect Europe, to protect the North Atlantic and the United 118 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: States and Canada. Where is NATO today compared to where 119 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: it was twenty five years ago or at the end 120 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: of World War Two. 121 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 4: Well, President Trump believes that NATO has turned a corner. 122 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 4: Now he holds their feet to the fire. But he 123 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 4: has secured that pledge to get up to five percent 124 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 4: of GDP after twenty thirty Some partners like Poland is 125 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 4: already spending four point seven percent. So and NATO is 126 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 4: not going to break up over Greenland because everyone is 127 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 4: way too scared about putin the ongoing war in Ukraine 128 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 4: a resurgent Russia. They all know that Russia is a 129 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 4: generational threat. That's why Trump can play hardball because NATO 130 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 4: is going to stick together. And as for the tariffs, 131 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 4: I love it when he uses the tariff weapon. Don't 132 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 4: forget the European Union is pretty nasty in some of 133 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 4: their tariffs and taxes that they put on US companies, 134 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 4: particularly our tech companies. With the Digital Services Act, they're 135 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 4: trying to put together a space treaty that would be 136 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 4: hard on Starlink and on Amazon, Leo and all those. So, 137 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 4: you know, the EU is really not good to the 138 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 4: US a lot of times, not maybe the partners, but 139 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 4: the European Union as an entity. So I'm look he's 140 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 4: threatened these tariffs. They're going to start at ten percent, 141 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 4: go to twenty five percent, and guess what the deadline 142 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 4: is in June. That's right before another big NATO summit. 143 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 4: So I think what he's doing is just hurrying up 144 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 4: the Alliance and Denmark of course, to come to the agreements. 145 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 4: Whether we end up with Greenland or Greenland stay sovereign 146 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 4: on its own, we have to have no Chinese and 147 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 4: Russian presence there, and we've got to have the ability 148 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 4: to have our forces there. Bidofig space up there in 149 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 4: the Arctic Circle is absolutely critical, not just for the 150 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 4: missile defense that I talked about, but also for tracking 151 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 4: space satellites on orbit, both ours and the Chinese ones. 152 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: Absolutely true. Now looking at Europe, there's a reason no 153 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: innovation comes out of Europe anymore. Our GDP has exceeded 154 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: that of the EU. We continue to get wealthier. In America. 155 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: They have gone flatline over there, even though they have 156 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: one hundred million more people. Their policies generally speaking, don't 157 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: work particularly well. Too much socialism, not enough capitalism, and 158 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: like you say, all these attacks on social media and 159 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: other things like free speech, trying to penalize American companies. 160 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: I think that's going to get shut down as well. 161 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts, Oh. 162 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 4: That is such a great point. Europe is just not innovating, 163 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 4: with one or two exceptions, our tech companies are so 164 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 4: far ahead, and so all they do is try to 165 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 4: regulate and impose taxes. They love to try to put 166 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 4: taxes on American companies, and you know, President Trump and 167 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 4: the Indministration are really really pushing back on that. So 168 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 4: you are absolutely one hundred percent right in making that point. 169 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 4: Now there's still an important ally through NATO. But again, 170 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 4: this is why we see trade and tariffs and the 171 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 4: Bilatal negotiations now such an important part of our overall 172 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 4: security policy. 173 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: Absolutely true. And before I leave, Mark Karney in Canada 174 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: and their new deal with China. Okay, President Trump thinks 175 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: it's a good deal as far as that goes. Alberta 176 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: does not. Alberta is now playing hardball again that province 177 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: which they can vote themselves out of Canada. And I 178 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: think this is a real possibility because of the uncertainty 179 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: and Alberta feels they're abused by Ottawa. And if that happens, 180 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: if Alberta leaves, then Quebec leaves Canada ceases to exist 181 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: as we know it. Do you think that's a real possibility. 182 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: I think that the cards are there now in a 183 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: way they weren't just a couple of years ago. 184 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 4: And the irony is Prime Minister Mark Carney grew up 185 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 4: in Alberta, so he knows the Western provinces need that 186 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 4: agricultural products. Deal with China for canola oil and the 187 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 4: other seed products. In return, they are going to buy 188 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 4: about forty nine thousand Chinese evs and a low tariff 189 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 4: probably be okay, but they'll be sorry that they let 190 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 4: China in. I hope Canada stays together. We need them 191 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 4: as a good northern ally. But they've had these tensions 192 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 4: and it is time for this all to come out 193 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 4: and be on the table. Don't forget King Charles at 194 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 4: Great Britain is still the head of state, so King 195 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 4: Charles does have the final say about what Canada. 196 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: Does you know? I just quickly you mentioned the EV's 197 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: going into Canada forty nine thousand lotarras. I saw that. 198 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: I read about that. It's zero in Winnipeg right now, 199 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: it's zero at Edmonton. I'm sorry, but evs do not 200 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: operate particularly well in cold climates, and Canada a good 201 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: portion of it it's pretty cold. Do you really think 202 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: they're going to work there. 203 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 4: Where you already have to plug your battery in in Winnipeg. 204 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 4: So it depends on the battery technology. The problem, of course, 205 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 4: this is how and it does it. They undercut initially 206 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 4: in the market. That's why there was a one hunder tariff. 207 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 4: And they're going to undercut do a small entry Canadian 208 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 4: market and then try to push for more. So I 209 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 4: hope that they lock that down and don't go any further. 210 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 5: We don't. 211 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 4: I don't want any Chinese evs in North America, full stop, 212 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 4: not a single one. 213 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: If I could do it, I would agree with you 214 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: on that last thing I want to ask you about. 215 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: China took a major setback, as did Russia when we 216 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: picked Maduro out of Venezuela. That was a big setback 217 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: for China Russia. Around Cuba, Cuba's in real trouble because 218 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 1: all of their oil comes from Venezuela has been cut 219 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: off one hundred percent. Cuba could heeter and fall without 220 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: a single shot being fired. As you look at that, 221 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: as it's been a couple of weeks. Now, what is 222 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: the aggregate impact on those countries I just mentioned. 223 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 4: Well, the big takeaway is that the United States is 224 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 4: back in the Western hemisphere and we're not going to 225 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 4: tolerate the Chinese. Russian and Ran has a lot influence 226 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 4: in Venezuela that we saw. So if they're successful, I 227 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 4: have a very careful, persistent, realistic policy in Venezuela. Let's 228 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 4: see that country turn around and that'll be a nice 229 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 4: bulwark against China going forward. 230 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: Rebecca Grant, always a pleasure to hear your perspectives. Thank you, 231 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: Thank you, really appreciate it. All right. When we come 232 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: back after the break, I'll continue the discussion of foreign 233 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: policy affairs with a former congressman and retired Army veteran, 234 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: including the prospect of US acquisition of Greenland and the 235 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: possibility of a US intervention in Iran that's still on 236 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: the table. Stay tuned for the latest on America's Voice Live. 237 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: I want to remain with our focus on Greenland and 238 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: the possible acquisition by the United States in some fashion. 239 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean we're going to invade the place. We're not. 240 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 1: I want to bring an Army veteran, former congressman and 241 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: executive director of the American Constitutional Rights Union, Lieutenant Colonel 242 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: Allen West, Colonelice, to see you again on a Monday. Look, 243 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 1: we've made it clear the United States is back in 244 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: the Western hemisphere. Rebecca Grant and I were just talking 245 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: about that. We've established that we're not going to allow 246 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 1: China and Russia and Iran and Cuban others to infiltrate 247 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:20,599 Speaker 1: Venezuela unchallenged. That's over. But Greenland is the largest unsinkable 248 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: aircraft care in the North Atlantic. It's pivotal to this 249 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: Golden Dome missile defense system. It's pivotal to the protection 250 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: of the NATO alliance. And yet the NATO countries are 251 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: screaming foul because the President says, Look, Denmark has not 252 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: done what it needs to do to strengthen security for Greenland. 253 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: France has, the UK hasn't, Germany hasn't. We're at a 254 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: turning point here and this is not new. We've gone 255 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: all the way back to eighteen sixty seven. Then President Truman, 256 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: President Eisower others made overtures to try to acquire Greenland. 257 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: Now it's more important than ever. How do you see 258 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: this playing out? What is your best. 259 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 2: Well, if you go back in history, you can see 260 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 2: exactly what we did with Alaska because we're concerned about 261 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 2: that threat as well. And today we have the eleventh 262 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 2: Airborne Division Arctic that is stationed up there in Alaska, 263 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 2: along with air Force assets as well, and we still 264 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 2: do have a weather station that is there on the 265 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 2: island of Greenland. But I think the most important thing 266 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 2: is we look at how we can establish joint and 267 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 2: combine military basing there in Greenland. I think that that 268 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 2: would benefit the people very well. And I think a 269 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 2: lot of the talk about taking Greenland, invading Greenland, whatever, 270 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 2: it's a lot of hyperbolic talk. But let's really let's 271 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 2: get to the issue at hand. We would need to 272 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 2: have some type of, as you said, a force there 273 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 2: on the largest aircraft carrier in this hemisphere so that 274 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 2: we can deter what Russia and China would seek to do, 275 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 2: especially as you talked about with your previous guests, now 276 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 2: that we have Canada and Mark Karney going in cozy 277 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 2: with China inviting them into the hemisphere. 278 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: Right in the southern part of the Western hemisphere in Venezuela, 279 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: they tried to commit and look, I've been in a 280 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: number of countries in Central America. There's Chinese infiltration north 281 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: to south in the western hemisphere, in the islands, in 282 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: Central America and South America. They're everywhere, aren't they. 283 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, Panama, you look at the great and one of 284 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 2: the greatest engineering feats ever, the Panama Canal. Jimmy Carter 285 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 2: stupidly gave it back over to Panama and guests who 286 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 2: ends up running it is the Chinese. And why did 287 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 2: we create the Panama Canal? It was foreign national security 288 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 2: to be able to transit our Atlantic and Pacific fleece 289 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 2: back and forth between those respective theaters of operation. So 290 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 2: we have got to re establish ourselves in this hemisphere. 291 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 2: And I think that one of the things is that 292 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 2: we don't need to make the people of Greenland enemies 293 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 2: to us. I know that they were wearing certain red 294 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 2: hats and things of this nature, but we should talk 295 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 2: about them being independent. We should talk about making sure 296 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 2: that we can provide them a security blanket like we 297 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 2: did for most of Europe for so very long. But 298 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 2: you're right, the Europeans just are not up to this 299 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 2: task right now, and especially the Kingdom of Denmark. I 300 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 2: don't think that they're ready to provide the defense shield 301 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 2: and umbrella for Greenland that is necessary. 302 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: There's no chance. I mean, the Kingdom of Denmark found 303 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: in like five minutes to the Nazis, and during World 304 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: War Two we had the Greenland defense packs for that reason, 305 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: the United States stepped up and defended the island. Then 306 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: anything happens. Now we'll do the same. And no, I 307 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: think that Greenland most likely maintains its sovereignty, maybe as 308 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: an independent nation, but with a very close working relationship 309 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: with the United States. So we do a lot of 310 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: good things with the people there, fifty eight thousand people. 311 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: We can enrich them, they can have better lives, better opportunities, 312 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: and really become prosperous. Look, they've been basically ignored. Let's 313 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: just be honest about that. Denmark has basically ignored Greenland 314 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: until you know, we bring up the topic of hey, 315 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: we should probably own this, and then of course the 316 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: left goes crazy, their media allies go crazy. They didn't 317 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: when Truman did it, they didn't when Eisenhower did it, 318 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: and they didn't in the past. Again, the only difference 319 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: Donald Trump suggests, so therefore must be bad, right, I mean, 320 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: that's the mentality, and it's a sad state of affairs. 321 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the Orange Man bad syndrome. And let's be 322 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 2: very honest, there's not a lot of love between the 323 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 2: Greenlanders and also Denmark. Let's remember some of the brutal 324 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 2: policies that Denmark is instituted against the people there in Greenland, 325 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 2: like force sterilization and trying to maintain some type of 326 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 2: population control that has never been very popular with the 327 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 2: people there. 328 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: So by the way we can talk, I'm glad you 329 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: mentioned that. Yeah, I'm really glad you mentioned the force 330 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: sterilization that went into the late eighties into the early nineties. 331 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: People don't know the history of Greenland, the force sterilization 332 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: of the people there and a lot more, just just horrible, 333 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: tyrannical things were done of those folks and no respect. 334 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: You know, they're barely considered in any policies or politics. 335 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: So when we step up and say, hey, we should 336 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: have this under operational control, that doesn't mean we're going 337 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: to run an army in there. That's not going to happen, 338 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: but we are going to have operational control. I believe. 339 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: Last word on Greenland here. 340 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 2: No, I think it's very important. Once again, you cannot 341 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 2: be the leader of the free world if you're not 342 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 2: a leader in your own hemisphere, and as you just 343 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 2: articulated from top to bottom, from north to south. 344 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, so let's shift gears. I want to 345 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: go to Iran. The protests in the streets, millions of 346 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 1: people across two hundred cities, Iran's ninety two million people. 347 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: They're yearning to be free, just like Americans do. It's 348 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: not just a thing for Americans. It's part of the 349 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: human spirit to be free, not to be crushed, not 350 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: to be told what you can think and what you 351 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: can do. And the people of Iran, I feel, have 352 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: put that country at a point, a tipping point we 353 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 1: haven't seen in forty seven years. How do you see 354 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: this playing out? Because Donald trumpers said, if you continue 355 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: to kill your own people in the streets, there will 356 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: be a price to pay for that. 357 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 2: Your thoughts, Yeah, isn't it interesting that we see this 358 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 2: happening in the two hundred and fiftieth year of our independence, 359 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 2: when we said we did not want to live by 360 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 2: the buy or leave of some other tyrannical government. I 361 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 2: think Donald Trump has showed the Iranian people that he 362 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 2: will be there to set the conditions for their success, 363 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 2: unlike Obama, unlike Joe Biden, and that's why they continue 364 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 2: to be out in the streets. And how interesting it 365 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 2: is because now you see the molas and the iototes. 366 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 2: They tried to have some type of talks and negotiations 367 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 2: with President Trump and now they're trying to even blame 368 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,719 Speaker 2: their economic woes on the United States of America. Win 369 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,479 Speaker 2: is them destroying their economy because they keep supporting all 370 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 2: of this Islamic terrorism and not supporting their own people. 371 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 2: So I think that you will see the regime there 372 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 2: in Iran topple. I think the most important thing is 373 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 2: to separate the IRGC and the bos G forces away 374 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 2: from what they're able to do and attacking these people, 375 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 2: because the everyday run, run of the day Iranian soldier 376 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 2: is really on the side of the people. 377 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: The concern that I always have in a scenario like this, 378 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: We've seen it many times in your lifetime, and mind 379 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: is you trade the devil you know for the devil 380 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: you don't. I mean, as possible you end up with 381 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: something worse. I suppose, I don't know it would be 382 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: much worse than this, but it's always a possibility that 383 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: other bad actors come in to fill the vacuum if 384 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 1: that government falls, right. 385 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a possibility. But I think right now, 386 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 2: which you see, Russia and China have really been separated 387 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 2: away from Iran, and I don't think you're going to 388 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 2: see the rise of a new Islamic Jihadis regime. I 389 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 2: think that these people want to get back to what 390 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 2: Iran was before the All Told was there. It was 391 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 2: a very western country, and it's a very young country 392 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 2: as far as their age demographic. And again, they want freedoms, 393 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 2: they want liberties. They don't want to be under the 394 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 2: boot of these Islamic jihatis. 395 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: Absolutely true, Kerl. Always appreciate talking to you. Thank you 396 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: for stopping in. We'll talk again soon. 397 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 2: My pleasure.

Will have all 483 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: of that coming up after the break. Well, not surprisingly, 484 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: the protests in Minneapolis Ray John. But no one could 485 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: have expected protesters to storm the House of the Lord, 486 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: but they did that. On Sunday, the latest all that 487 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,719 Speaker 1: saw just that as Antios protesters disrupted a church service 488 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 1: in Saint Paul after it was alleged that a pastor 489 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 1: was also serving as an ICE official. But when the 490 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: mob swarmed the church and disrupted the service, they quickly 491 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: found out that the pastor was not there yet and 492 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: went on the sur of the service for all the 493 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: other folks. This is just completely obnoxious. The Department of 494 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 1: Justice was prompt to respond to the situation. Assistant Attorney 495 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: General for Civil Rights Army Dylan went on to announce 496 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: an active civil rights probe into the protesters for desecrating 497 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: a house of warship. It's not legal. And one of 498 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 1: the folks leading that protest, the disgraced former anchor from 499 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: CNN Don Lemon. Here he is confronting the pastor after 500 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: they had stormed this man's church and disrupted his congregation. Listen, 501 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: I have to take care of my flocks. 502 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 3: And there's a Constitution in the First Amendment to freedom 503 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 3: of speech and freedom to assembling protest. 504 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: We're here to worship. We're here to worship Jesus because 505 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 1: that's the hope of these cities. 506 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 3: That's the hope of the world is Jesus Christ. 507 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: He's very respectful, but please don't push me there. We're here. 508 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: We're here to worship Jesus. That's why we're here. Okay, 509 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: that's why we're here. That's what we're about. What do 510 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: you think Jesus would be understanding? And we're about the mode. 511 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: We're about straying the love of Jesus. 512 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 3: And did you try to talk to them as everyone 513 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 3: is willing to talk. Okay, I have to take care 514 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 3: of my church and my family, so I asked this, 515 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 3: you actually would also leave this world? 516 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: You don't want us worship. I'm always worship. I'm a Christian. 517 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: We're here, well, we're here to worship. We're here to worship. Okay, 518 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: thank you very much. He's an agitator and a disgruntled 519 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: former news anchor. Jemmy's discuss for our Penal County Sheriff 520 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: congressional candidate for Arizona Sheriff, Mark Lamb Sheriff. Nice to 521 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 1: see you here today. Good to see you too, Steve. 522 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: How do we handle this. I mean, this is a 523 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 1: violation of federal law. If I'm not mistaken, to disrupt 524 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 1: a congregation that's going about their business, minding their own 525 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: business on Sunday worship. These people storm in, intimidate them, 526 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: start yelling and screaming and saying say her name, say 527 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: her name, refer to Renee Good. How long are we 528 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: gonna let this go on? 529 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 3: Well, we shouldn't have let it go on at all. 530 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 3: But Don Lemon doesn't even understand the Constitution. The very 531 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 3: first thing in the first Amendment of the Constitution is 532 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,439 Speaker 3: the right to the freedom of a religion. Yes, freedom 533 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 3: of speech exists, but this is private property, not government 534 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 3: not government property. And another place where he's wrong on 535 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 3: he says that they have the freedom to protest. 536 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: No, you don't. 537 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 3: It is the right is the you have the freedom 538 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 3: to peaceably assemble to petition your government to redress grievances. 539 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 3: That's not what's going on here. They went in and 540 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 3: disrupted a church service and violated their civil rights. And 541 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 3: under the ku Klux Klan Act, which is better known 542 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 3: as the Civil Rights Act, but also the klu Klux 543 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 3: Klan Act of eighteen seventy one, ironically, Don Lemon is 544 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 3: violating that. And it says that even if you are 545 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 3: a private citizen, which Don and those other people are, 546 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 3: they cannot conspire intentionally or unintentionally to impede on somebody's 547 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 3: civil rights, which would include your right. 548 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: To freedom or religion. 549 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 3: So Don on so many levels doesn't even know what 550 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 3: he's talking about, and then he breaks the law comes 551 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 3: in here, violates people's civil rights. But this is large 552 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 3: in part, Steve, and I'm sorry to go on so long. 553 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 3: This is the causation of failed leadership from Jacob Fry 554 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 3: and Governor Waltz who won't say to the people, folks, 555 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 3: stop obstructing our federal law enforcement while they're doing their job, 556 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 3: and they get emboldened, and then they do things like 557 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 3: this that go into somebody's church and impede it. These 558 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 3: are godless people. They don't care about impeding on somebody's 559 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 3: religious rights. But the laws as otherwise. 560 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, there are several acts by the way that protect 561 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: churches from being attagged. And the other thing that Don 562 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: Lemon doesn't understand that so of these other folks that 563 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: were in there, and this is why they've opened a 564 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: federal Department of Justice investigation. You can't just storm onto 565 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: private property and say I'm protected by freedom of speech. 566 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: Doesn't work that way. You can't storm into my house 567 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: and start telling me it's freedom of speech. Doesn't work 568 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: that way, Sheriff. You want to demonstrate in the public 569 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: square peaceably, that's fine. Peaceably is what it says in 570 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: the First Amendment. What they're doing here is aggravated, and 571 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: I just have to wonder, honestly, but the mental health 572 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: and well being of some of these folks, they don't 573 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: have any idea half of them or more of what 574 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: they're screaming about, or what they're advocating or anything else. 575 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: They're not advocating for the young women that have been raped 576 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: and murdered in this country, or the families have been 577 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: killed by drunk drivers, all from people outside of this country, 578 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: and they continue to target ICE agents. It's a recipe 579 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:50,719 Speaker 1: for disaster, isn't it. 580 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 3: Absolutely, they're defending the indefensible criminals who came into this 581 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 3: country illegally and who continue to commit crimes in this country. 582 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 3: Then they break the law by obstructing law enforcement, which 583 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 3: isn't the way that you peaceably assemble and petition your government. 584 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 3: If you don't like the immigration laws, don't go obstruct 585 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 3: law enforcement. That's illegal. Go to your congressional office or 586 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 3: go to your Senate and write a petition to them 587 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 3: and tell them you have a problem with the law. 588 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 3: That's the way the founding Father set it up. Only 589 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 3: the courts adopted the language of protests later on, but 590 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 3: even then they said it has to be done with peace. 591 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 3: If it's outside of that, if it's violent in any way, 592 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 3: then you are breaking the law. So this is dangerous. 593 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 3: When we don't enforce constitutional law, and we don't enforce 594 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 3: the law, you start to get on lawlessness and eventually 595 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 3: the good people are going to say we've had enough 596 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 3: and we're going to put a stop to it because 597 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 3: you the government. 598 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: Can't absolutely true. Look, we have to put an end 599 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: of this now. I don't know if the Insurrection Act 600 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: should be used at this point. Look, that's what they want. 601 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: If Don Trum issues the Insurrection Act, then they can 602 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: scream me see he's a dictator, and that's what they'll 603 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: go with. But what they really want, and I think 604 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: this is true, Mark, they want Kent State all over again. 605 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: They want somebody to make a mistake and somebody to 606 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: get killed that you know, really wasn't doing anything particularly wrong, 607 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: so they can say, look, they are Nazis, they are 608 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: the guest stop or that or everything else. They create 609 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: the chaos with the hope of creating something much worse 610 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: that they can hang their hat on it. And that's 611 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: why it has to be stopped. No, what are your 612 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 1: thoughts of the Insurrection Act? 613 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 3: Well, look, the Insurrection Act exists for situations like this 614 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 3: where state government fails, where they put politics in front 615 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 3: of people, where they fail to protect people's lives and property, 616 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 3: which is what their job is, and then they allow 617 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 3: this lawlessness to occur. And not only do they allow it, Steve, 618 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 3: they fuel it. They with their words and their actions, 619 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 3: they continue to encourage people to join up with these groups, 620 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 3: which are paid agitators. Most of them are being paid 621 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 3: to go out into these churches, to go onto the 622 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 3: streets to break the law by obstructing federal law enforcement 623 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 3: in the execution of their duties and by removing criminals 624 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 3: off the streets of our communities. These are all violations 625 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 3: of the law, and these folks are being paid to 626 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 3: do so. The only reason they're not being held accountable 627 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 3: is the federal law enforcement doesn't have the resources to 628 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 3: go and arrest every single one of them that are 629 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 3: breaking the law, so they believe that they're not breaking 630 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 3: the law. 631 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 2: The reality is. 632 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 3: When you are obstructing law enforcement in their duties, or 633 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 3: you are concealing, harboring, shielding people in this country illegally, 634 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 3: you are breaking the law and it is criminal law. 635 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: Last great question, got to stop. Yeah, last quick question 636 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: here you're out on the campaign trail. How do you 637 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: think people that are voters see this, the ones that 638 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: aren't saying anything that they're not the protests that are 639 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: watching this at home and saying, wait a second, how 640 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: do you think it's playing on the campaign trail for Republicans, Democrats, Independence, 641 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: Real quick last word to you. 642 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 3: On the campaign trail. People want to see. They want 643 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 3: to see people remove that came to this country illegally. 644 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 3: They don't like the lawss they're seeing from the left. 645 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 3: And furthermore, two publications Arizona Capital Times twelve News, both 646 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 3: liberal publications, posted about ice being in our communities, especially 647 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 3: in Panoo County where I was the sheriff, and the 648 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 3: comments were ninety nine percent prolonged pro law enforcement, pro ICE, 649 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 3: pro removal of people in this country illegally, and those 650 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 3: are on liberal platforms. So the narrative is not the 651 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 3: way they want it to be, but they control it 652 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 3: on a national level. But the regular everyday American wants 653 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 3: to see the work that President Trump is doing. They 654 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 3: support law enforcement and they want these people to stop 655 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 3: obstructing and putting their lives and the lives of our 656 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 3: federal law enforcement at risk. 657 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: I agreed, Sheriff. Always, good to see you, Thank you 658 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,320 Speaker 1: for being here today. Good to see you too, Steve. 659 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,359 Speaker 1: God bless you. Thank you very much. All right, after 660 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: the break, we'll have some fun.

We are an alternative to 684 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,879 Speaker 6: deadly for us, and we are at our core gun 685 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 6: owners that are common that have common sense to realize 686 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 6: that you know, the fire I'm also very important weapon 687 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 6: for self defense shouldn't be the first option that people 688 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 6: need to resort to. So we are bringing this platform 689 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 6: to the gun enthusiast you know world, and you know, 690 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 6: to our delight, we've been embraced in this in the 691 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 6: We've been embraced by this community because they also believe 692 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,320 Speaker 6: that it's not less lethal or lethal, it's less lethal 693 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 6: and lethal. So having multi multiple options for a self 694 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 6: defense strategy is the common sense thing to do, and 695 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 6: it will save you from getting into a lot of 696 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 6: hot water from a legal and financial perspective. 697 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So tell the folks that are not 698 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,880 Speaker 1: familiar with Burno. You've had people out of this program 699 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 1: a number times. I'm pretty familiar with it. But go 700 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 1: ahead and explain what it is that you have and 701 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,280 Speaker 1: why it's Burno les lethal. 702 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,359 Speaker 6: Sure. So we are an American company. Our products are 703 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 6: hand assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana, or proudly American as 704 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,879 Speaker 6: we like to say, and our products are essentially air 705 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 6: pistols and rifles that have a key technology called pool pierce. 706 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 6: So when you insert a CO two can canister into 707 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 6: our weapon and loaded with AMMO, it is at the 708 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,800 Speaker 6: ready for years, so you can store it indefinitely until 709 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 6: you need it. It is the only technology in the 710 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 6: category that offers that those are familiar with CO two 711 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 6: powered weapons. Once you insert that CO two, that CO 712 00:37:55,840 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 6: two is automatically pierced and so essentially you have a leaky, 713 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 6: leaking balloon that can only last for you know, six 714 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,919 Speaker 6: to eight hours, and you don't know when you're going 715 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:11,839 Speaker 6: to get attacked if you will. With our product, it's 716 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,399 Speaker 6: very easy to use. There's no recoil, so you don't 717 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,760 Speaker 6: have that violent reaction that you would get with a firearm. 718 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 6: No ear protection needed, and there's no permits required, no 719 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 6: background checks legal in all fifty states, so it's very accessible. 720 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 6: It has formidable stopping power, and it'll allow you to 721 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 6: de escalate before you have to escalate to a higher 722 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 6: power like a firearm. 723 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 1: And your sales have been nothing short of phenomenal. I mean, 724 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: the company is not very old. You've sold thousands of 725 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: units and you're growing every day, aren't you, Yes. 726 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,480 Speaker 6: Sir, So we have sold in twenty twenty five. We 727 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 6: are proud to say that we sold over seven hundred 728 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 6: and fifty thousand Burner launchers in the last six years. 729 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 6: And again we are American company. We're traded on the 730 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 6: NASDAC under BYRN and it is a platform that is 731 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 6: perfect for the climate that we live in. And we 732 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 6: want to make sure that all Americans are protected. And 733 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,920 Speaker 6: then you know that the understand they have options and 734 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,319 Speaker 6: avoiding the overuse of forest that can get them I 735 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 6: mean essentially ruin their lives potentially that they understand what's available. 736 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 1: Oh, there's no question. Yeah, if you shoot somebody, whether 737 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 1: you're right wrong soeuth defense, you're going to be in 738 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: handcuffs and you are going to jail and it will 739 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,919 Speaker 1: be sorted out. There's no question about that that that's 740 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,399 Speaker 1: an automatic. If you shoot someone, even if you're right, 741 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 1: it might be a few days or weeks or months 742 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,760 Speaker 1: before it gets sorted out. It's going to be expensive 743 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 1: with attorneys, it's going to be expensive on your relationships. 744 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 1: Is going to there's a price to pay even if 745 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 1: you're doing the right thing, isn't there? 746 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 6: Absolutely? And like you know, I think when you defend yourself, 747 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 6: whether it is with your hands, a golf club or 748 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,759 Speaker 6: a burner or firearm, there's a good chance that you're 749 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,719 Speaker 6: going to be litigated. And then you are if we 750 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,840 Speaker 6: look at the burner as you're addressing a fender bender 751 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:18,839 Speaker 6: situation using a car analogy versus a total collision. And 752 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 6: so you know, I think that people need to understand 753 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,359 Speaker 6: what happens on the other side of bang. And there's 754 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:31,800 Speaker 6: some real tough complexities that come to resorting to lethal force. 755 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 6: So's it's it's something that we want to make sure 756 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,319 Speaker 6: that all Americans are aware of that. You know, make 757 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 6: sure you go through the continuum of forced protocol, verbal, 758 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 6: less lethal, lethal to protect yourself and your family. And 759 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 6: that is our message, is like we want to save 760 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 6: lives and that that is the burn A mission. 761 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,439 Speaker 1: Well, I wish you well.
