If you haven't watched any of those videos, holy crap. 12 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 3: I don't even know what you say about that. Hell 13 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 3: descends upon you like that. One hundred times our winds 14 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 3: fired and traveling it like a mile every thirty seconds. 15 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 3: And today could be every bit is bad or worse. Yeah, 16 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 3: I was just hearing a report that they said that 17 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 3: they might be worse. And there are many many fires 18 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 3: all over the area. The super fancy Hollywood type houses 19 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 3: get the most attention always, but there's fires all over. 20 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 3: I was actually on the phone with a number of 21 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 3: people last night who were fleeing for their lives, electricity off, 22 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 3: pitch dark, can't see anything. Why there's so much traffic, 23 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 3: You don't know if you're gonna be able to get 24 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 3: out or stuck in traffic. People fleeing their cars and 25 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 3: running for the ocean. Insane. 26 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: And the minute that the dust settles on this and 27 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: we certainly pray that the loss of life is zero 28 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 1: or certainly as little as possible. The big story is 29 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: going to be the fact that several of the big insurers, 30 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: or at least one that I'm certain of, have dropped 31 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: fire coverage for that area, and people were scrambling to 32 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: figure out what to do when the fires began. 33 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 3: And this was as according to a friend of ours 34 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 3: who had to flee and doesn't even know if his 35 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 3: house is stole up or not. This was as recently 36 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 3: as a couple of weeks ago in that neighborhood. They 37 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 3: dropped the fire coverage, right right, That is a problem. Well, 38 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 3: you've been talking for a long time about this is 39 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 3: going to have to come to a head at some 40 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 3: point with the banks and the insurance companies in various states, 41 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 3: whether you're talking about fire's, hurricanes, whatever, How are we 42 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 3: going to deal with this because houses have to be insured. 43 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 3: The insurance has to be affordable enough that people can 44 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 3: buy houses. I don't know. 45 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: I don't know how this all gets worked out, or 46 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: it might just completely distort the housing market in a 47 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: way that will be take decades to untangle. 48 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 3: If you've ever considered it. The very very short version. 49 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 1: Of it is you have to keep in mind that 50 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: a huge percentage of the personal property in the United 51 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: States is mortgaged. And so you have banks, including some 52 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: of the big banks or even Fanny May and organizations 53 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: like that, that have billions trillions of dollars worth of 54 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,279 Speaker 1: mortgages out there, and if there's no insurance on those properties, 55 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: well then the big banks would lose their arses and 56 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: that's not acceptable for a number of reasons. So, yeah, 57 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: we're definitely moving toward something like a homeowner's insurance crisis 58 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: in the US, and not just like in Florida and 59 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: California all over the place. 60 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, continuing with what you were just 61 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 3: saying there, that's the interest the banks have, and then 62 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 3: we the people as a society have, you know, a 63 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 3: great interest in people being able to own homes. I mean, 64 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 3: there has to be a thing. It can't be a 65 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 3: only for you know, a tiny percentage of people that 66 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 3: can afford homes and insurance. 67 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: Right or self ensure my house burns down, I build 68 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 1: it again, ho home. Yeah, that's that's a tiny percentage 69 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: of people. It'll be interesting to see this play out, 70 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: and it could well be. It's almost certainly going to 71 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: be on Trump's watch, right, right, Chirst Why do I 72 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: mention the president Congress rights laws or they used to. 73 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, people have been listening for a long time now. 74 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 3: I had a fire. We had a fire on our 75 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 3: farm about five years ago, and I got to experience 76 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 3: in person with flames around me, which melted my shoes. 77 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 3: How fast a fire travels when it's really windy outside. 78 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 3: And until I had seen it in person, I had 79 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 3: no idea. But it just it can go from a 80 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 3: spark to your you can't see anything but smoking flames 81 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 3: in seconds. It's just shocking. And that was happening all 82 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 3: over La yesterday and today. Yeah. 83 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, so fingers crossed the prayers whatever, uh, and on 84 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: we go. 85 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 4: I'm walking in the door, Michael, the door opened place 86 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 4: there he is, Hey, everybody, how. 87 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 3: You doing fine?

And people are going to come 163 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 3: back and find that out. And so that's the Palisades area. 164 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 3: And we have a friend who lives in that area 165 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 3: and he doesn't know if his house still exists.

And for whatever reason, 171 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 3: I think this comes out of the Paradise fire that 172 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 3: also was in California, Northern California. Horrible death from that, 173 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 3: the idea of trying to get away in your car 174 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 3: and being stuck in traffic I find like the most 175 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 3: terrifying of all things. Just right, oh my god. 176 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: Well, and there are folks saying, hey, if you have 177 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: to abandon your car, leave the keys in it so 178 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: we can move it to let the emergency vehicles through, 179 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. You know, the idea of leaving 180 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,119 Speaker 1: your keys in your car in LA is practically hilarious 181 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: in any other context. But yeah, it's chaos. It's the 182 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: disaster in the Maui style. Again, not the loss of 183 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: life thus far, partly because you know, there are multiple 184 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: roots in and out of everywhere in La. None of 185 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: them will work ortho dam most times of the day. 186 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: But thank god so far. Okay, from what I've heard. 187 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, so people were in the traffic jam, fire was 188 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 3: getting closer. They're afraid they're going to burn up sitting 189 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 3: in their cars like we've seen in other places in 190 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 3: the country in the last couple of years. So they 191 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 3: abandoned their cars, took off. There was no way to 192 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 3: get the cars out of there, so they started bulldozing 193 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 3: cars out of the way to try to get the 194 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 3: fire trucks through. Then late in the day yesterday they 195 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 3: put out the alert. I saw Bill Millusion of Fox 196 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 3: tweet this out that they put out the alert. Hey, 197 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 3: anybody who's a firefighter, whether you're on duty or not, 198 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 3: need your help. And he said he's never seen that 199 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 3: in any disaster in LA history, after decades of covering it, 200 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 3: where they're like that desperate for more help. Then the 201 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 3: wind was so many from we're talking about any town 202 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 3: in county within earshot. Yeah, yeah, just La. And then 203 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 3: last night they called off all like helicopter, plane rescue, 204 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 3: dropping water, all that sort of stuff because the wind 205 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 3: was too bad, so they couldn't fly anything. And also 206 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 3: you couldn't see from the air get those kind of 207 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 3: reports because nobody could fly. So yeah, and it's gonna 208 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 3: be worse today, as you said, So that's quite the deal. 209 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 3: We'll keep our eye on it. How does mailbag look outstanding? 210 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 2: Cool? 211 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 3: It's on the way.

Either it's a sign of the impending 273 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: apocalypse or it is ironic proof that there is a multiverse, 274 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: because it would take an infinite number of universes to 275 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: have one where Jack doesn't understand many things but does 276 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: understand one of the most complicated theories ever devised. 277 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 3: Well, it's a matter that's on necessarily snide.

Realizing 292 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: this family maybe from a country or pushing and shoving 293 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: is the norm, I said politely, excuse me, but you 294 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: need to wait your turn. 295 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 3: We were next. We then took our photo. 296 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: And as I returned to the group, I realized I 297 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: almost had to throw down in front of Baby Jesus. 298 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 3: On Christmas Eve. 299 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: Wow, rudeness not in my Americus there from San Diego. 300 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 3: Man, the three wise guys would have been going tisk 301 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 3: tisk tisk as you rolled around on the ground with 302 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 3: that dude. 303 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: Or get them, get them because they saw what was 304 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: happening and they're wives. 305 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 3: Here take my mirr.

Yes, Canada is very very liberal progressive. 310 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: So before Canada becomes a state, we need to have 311 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: a little transition period to deprogram them. Off their current 312 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: socialist government mindset. First, they need to be a protectorate 313 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: like Guam or Puerto Rico. In fact, when you look 314 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: at the definition of protectorate, Canada is practically one already. 315 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 3: And I quote. 316 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: A protectorate is a territory that is protected by a 317 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: stronger state or entity, either militarily or diplomatically against third parties. 318 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: The United States has several territories, including commonwealths and other territories. 319 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 3: Well, is that what some in Greenland are wanting to 320 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 3: have happen. I listened to a politician from Greenland on 321 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 3: NPR this morning. He's all four coming under the umbrella 322 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 3: of the United States. There's a lot to be said 323 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 3: about this. It is not a crazy notion, and we're 324 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 3: not going to conquer it. We're going to buy it 325 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 3: or you know, enter into an agreement. I'd kind of 326 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 3: like to conquerte. You're on a ship on shore and 327 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 3: somebody runs up on the beach and plants a flag. 328 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 3: The Greenlanders are like, okay, it's got a lot to 329 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 3: do with China. At least the politician I heard this 330 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 3: morning a lot more on the way, stay with us, 331 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 3: armstrong and getdy. 332 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 6: Just hear US tourists seeing it looks like an incredible place. 333 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 6: We've been talking about going for a while. 334 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 3: I was actually supposed to be. 335 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 6: Here last spring for some of the stuff I do 336 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 6: in my free time. 337 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 3: As Donald Trump junior. Landing in Greenland yesterday being asked, 338 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 3: asked obviously about his dad's speculation about Greenland becoming a 339 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 3: state or something like that, and he said, oh, no, no, 340 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 3: just coincidence. I've always wanted to come to Greenland, and 341 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 3: what come on, there's. 342 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: A tourist what in my Trump jet? 343 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 3: Right? Just a coincidence. 344 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: I meant to come earlier but didn't get around till 345 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: till like the day after my dad gave a big 346 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: speech about having Greenland. So Trump made a handful of 347 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: really intriguing statements that his long press conference yesterday. News 348 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: conference you call them these days because the press is irrelevant, 349 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: like the printing press, because that's where that term comes from. 350 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: I think that's why they call it a news conference 351 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 1: these days. Anyway, it's like not saying I'll play you 352 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: some tape. No, there's no tape anyway. Ah. 353 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 3: So he said a couple of things. 354 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: Number one, we're gonna change the name of the golf 355 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: of Mexico to the Gulf of America. I'm down change 356 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: the maps. I don't care. I'll pay for it. It's 357 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: our golf, now give it back. And besides, we just 358 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: surrounded as much as Mexico does. We drill, we maintain it. 359 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: If something goes crazy, we cleaned it up. It's our golf. 360 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 3: Does any Is there any pushback on that? I assume 361 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 3: the people that hate Trump were laughing at it, like 362 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 3: it's ridiculous, but it makes Why has it always been 363 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 3: to Gulf of Mexico. 364 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 1: From America hating weasels? There's probably pushback. I mean, it's 365 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,959 Speaker 1: just the name, all right, that's our name now, Okay, 366 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: Having said that, no blood has been spilled, We're just 367 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: going to change the names. And also the idea of 368 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: turning Canada into a state, which I don't think is 369 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: going to happen. As JT pointed out in mailbag, it 370 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: practically is a protectorate. Now we're going to table that 371 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: motion for now. It is a sovereign country with functioning government. 372 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 3: It says we don't have a treaty or anything. I 373 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 3: don't think with Canada. But obviously if China assaulted Canada, 374 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 3: we'd be all over it. Oh yeah, not like we 375 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 3: would allow that to happen. 376 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: In spite of the over long tenure of woke Elvis 377 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: Weenie Justin Trudeau, who's ruined Canada with his woke politics 378 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: and economics and the rest of it. Canada is a 379 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: very close ally huge trading partner, etc. And just really 380 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: good people, so we will not be annexing Canada in 381 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: my opinion. On the other hand, the Greenland thing to 382 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: me is really intriguing. And no, Trump's not gonna take 383 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: it by force. That's just are you not used to 384 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:17,959 Speaker 1: Trump yet? He makes outlandish opening offers or threats or whatever. 385 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: Then it gets down to negotiating and you figure out 386 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: what he actually wants. Is it the most responsible way 387 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: for a president to talk? Perhaps not, but it is 388 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: what it is. He got elected. 389 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 3: Now because I'm of medium IQ, I can't help. But 390 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:37,479 Speaker 3: when I picture Greenland, picture a big green country, because 391 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 3: it's in the name, the Land of green. But it's 392 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 3: not right, it's not it's ice, as they famously say. 393 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 3: Just remember, Iceland is green and Greenland is icy. Greenland 394 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 3: is actually a fascinating place, and we don't have time 395 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 3: to do the full boring geography lesson, but it is 396 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 3: of growing strategic importance, and I'm gonna hit you with 397 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 3: a couple of emails like Andrew in the Bay Area. 398 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 3: Trump is one hundred percent right on Greenland, not just 399 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 3: because of the ten trillion dollars plus of energy resources 400 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 3: and rare earth minerals it's estimating to hold, but also, 401 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 3: as a Navy jag officer with a little knowledge of 402 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 3: operational law, because of its geographic significance with respect to 403 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 3: future sea lanes. The earth warming, whatever the cause, means 404 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 3: sea lanes are opening in the Arctic, and transiting those 405 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 3: new roots between Asia, Europe and America takes a fraction 406 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 3: of the time compared to the Panama or Suez Canals. Wow, 407 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 3: I didn't know that. 408 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 1: Think one hundred billion dollars of goods being shipped every year, 409 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: taking half as long to reach their destination by ship, 410 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: and the billions that would save in costs. The first 411 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: areas expected to open up are the lanes between the 412 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: islands of Canada and Greenland. Grabbing Greenland would ensure having 413 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: a hand in sending the policies on those new routes 414 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: and maintaining freedom of the seas Moreover, Russia is positioned 415 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: as the nation with the most land mass bordering the Arctic, 416 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: thus the most likely to try to control them. And 417 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: in Greenland, coupled with Alaska, our friends in America's hat 418 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: and our Scandinavian friends in Finland and Sweden, means we 419 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: could rival Russia for who controls these new roots. 420 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 3: Well, And as I said, I was listening to NPR 421 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 3: today and they had on a some high level Greenland 422 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 3: politician who is four coming under the umbrella somehow of 423 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 3: the United States. And I couldn't quite figure out what 424 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 3: they were getting at there, and weren't talking about being 425 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 3: a state. And he said absolutely no to the idea 426 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 3: of the United States purchasing Greenland, although they at least 427 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 3: this guy hates the fact that they ended up somehow 428 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 3: attached to Denmark and the EU by extension, which is 429 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 3: all sorts of screwed up. But he was talking about China. 430 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 3: He said, Chinese ships are regularly about and they're surveilling 431 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 3: us constantly, and we don't like that. 432 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, So to get serious about this because a serious topic. 433 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 3: And again, if you get hung up on Trump's. 434 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: Specific nomenclature, you're going to get dragged off of what 435 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: you ought to be talking about. Those sea roots for 436 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: the reasons that Burr Andrew is spelled out so beautifully 437 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: are going to be incredibly important geopolitical targets in the 438 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: next fifty years, I mean like crazy important. And the 439 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: idea that Greenland and we do have I was about 440 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: to get to this. We have a significant military base 441 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: on Greenland. But the idea that Greenland and the might 442 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 1: of Denmark and again the awesome power of the EU 443 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: would be sufficient to project the power of the free 444 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: world on those sea roots is not realistic. It will 445 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: take the United States and Trump's point of view on this, 446 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: as so many things, is all right, Look, if we 447 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: are going to be in charge of protecting it and 448 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: projecting the power of the free world around it, we 449 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: got to get a better deal. We're not gonna do 450 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: it just because we're nice guys. So what that treaty 451 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: looks like, I don't know, but it's of enormous geopolitical importance. 452 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: And anybody gets hung up on making fun of Trump 453 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: as an idiot. A couple more thoughts is Alvin and Berkeley. 454 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 3: Yes, So would they become anything official? Would they be 455 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 3: like the Virgin Islands or anything like that, or I 456 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 3: don't know. I have no idea. 457 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: There are a number of different options, but the whole 458 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: frozen tundra practically uninhabitable. Most of it ain't gonna be 459 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: true if the warming continues, and it probably won't. 460 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 3: Who knows. The Earth moves in cycles. 461 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: But I liked this. Oh oh, here is on Greenland. 462 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: I think no one's talking about our military base in Thule, 463 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 1: which I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly. Perhaps I am 464 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: probably not, which was put there to watch out for 465 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: the Ruskies back in the day. I don't know what 466 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: the US does there now. Also of note is that 467 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: Greenland is a It really is really a string of 468 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: islands with a big canyon slash frozen lake in the middle. 469 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: The earth really starts heating up, it will be a 470 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: good source of fresh water rises up when the ice melts. 471 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 3: Let's see, Greenland should be the fifty first state. 472 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: And then Joe from Dayton says, I laughed at Trump 473 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: talking about invading Greenland. 474 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 3: Greenland. We already have a base there. 475 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, formerly an Air Force base and now 476 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: a space Force base Pititufic Space Base Bidofik has a 477 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: ballistic missile early warning system mission to detect inbound to ICBMs. 478 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: So yeah, we're already a big presence on Greenland. 479 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 3: Okay, did not know? Yeah? He learned something every day, 480 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 3: don't you, Michael? 481 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: You got to learn one more thing. In eighteen sixty seven, 482 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: William H. Swords, Secretary of State, Swords folly the purchase 483 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 1: of Alaska. Remember that he wanted to buy Greenland and 484 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: perhaps Iceland, but opposition in Congress ended the project. 485 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 3: And then we tried. 486 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: I think they're under Kennedy or somebody. Somebody talked about buying. 487 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 3: Oh. 488 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: In nineteen fifty Denmark allowed the US to have a base. 489 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: We tried to buy it and they said no, thank you. 490 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 3: So I'm watching more NFL football than I've watched in 491 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 3: a decade and a half.

So it 530 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 3: is going to be a long rough day for that. 531 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,919 Speaker 3: And again, the long term over arching store, as we mentioned, 532 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 3: is how are we going to fashion the relationship between banks, mortgages, 533 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 3: homeowners and insurance Because at least one big insurance company 534 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 3: had dropped a bunch of these homes with their fire 535 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 3: coverage just weeks ago. I don't know if they knew 536 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 3: the fire was coming or what. 537 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: And if you are, you know, thinking, well, you know, 538 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: to hell with the coasts. They're liberals and they have expensive, 539 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: beautiful real estate, and the good good for them. We 540 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: mentioned at the end of last year. Actually I brought 541 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: you the story that the south central US has seen 542 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: an enormous building boom, and there's so there are so 543 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: many thunderstorms and hailstorms there. That's been one of the 544 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: big loss sources loss whatever of the sources of losses 545 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: of the big insurance companies. And so between the hurricanes 546 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: and the wildfires and flooding and the hail in the 547 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: middle of the country. You know, it's a lot of 548 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,959 Speaker 1: the country now with building costs as high as they 549 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: are that it's just it doesn't make sense for corporations 550 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: to offer insurance there. They're losing too much money. Yet 551 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: it does make sense for people to be able to 552 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: buy homes. So how do you make all that fit 553 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: together that. 554 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 3: I don't know what the way is out of this, 555 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 3: but California is going to be the leading edge of that, 556 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 3: and probably this whole la thing that's happening right now, 557 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 3: you're gonna have to fire something out. 558 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I hope there are a couple of really 559 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: smart senators and or congress people on both sides of 560 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: the aisle that have this on their radar and are 561 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: talking seriously about it because it could be a national 562 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: financial crisis. 563 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, those homes that got dropped in their fire coverage 564 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 3: just weeks ago.

I don't know, honestly, 666 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,479 Speaker 1: if it's the stroke, or if he's just now able 667 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: to show his true colors or what. I've never misjudged 668 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,919 Speaker 1: a politician as much as I've misjudged Fetterman. Oh, yeah, 669 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,760 Speaker 1: I will say that. He was talking about how Trump's 670 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,439 Speaker 1: cabinet nominees. He said, I'm talking to all of them. 671 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: And the idea that that's controversial I don't get. He said, 672 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: that's my job, so I'm going to do that and 673 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: he and he gave a couple other examples. 674 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:39,919 Speaker 3: He said, in what way? 675 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 6: Oh? 676 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 1: He said, aliens, illegal aliens who've committed crimes ought to 677 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 1: be booted out. He said, how can that be controversial? 678 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: They came into our country illegally then committed crimes. We 679 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:51,879 Speaker 1: want them out. 680 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 3: Who's against that? I'm like, dude, wow, wow. It seems 681 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 3: controversial that a Democrat out of saying that, But that's 682 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 3: the mainstream of the Democratic Party. It's just we've lost 683 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 3: that fact through Facebook and Twitter, I guess. 684 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,800 Speaker 1: Well, and because of the incredible volume of the far left, 685 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: progressive woke winging the Democratic Party. They have volume, loudness, 686 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 1: an influence so far beyond what it ought to be. 687 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 3: It's time to get rid of that. Right, those were 688 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,359 Speaker 3: mainstream opinions he was espousing. If you must now get 689 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 3: the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand arm Strong and 690 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 3: Getty
