Let's hear from the president. 9 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: Go to it live. 10 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 2: The actually the eleven months, because this was done in 11 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 2: eleven months. Now we are actually officially twelve months as 12 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 2: of today, fifty two all time record highs. That means 13 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 2: four oh one case did great. I have people see 14 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 2: me all the time, policemen that guard us really well 15 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 2: and got to know him a little bit, and they said, 16 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: so you make him and look so good my four 17 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 2: oh one case through. My wife thinks I'm the greatest genius, 18 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 2: that I'm a financial genius like Warren Buffett. 19 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 4: He told me that. 20 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 2: He said, I think they have better returns than Warren Buffett. 21 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 2: Right now, but he said, all my life, my wife 22 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 2: has been criticizing me for not being smart financially. 23 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 4: Now all of a sudden's she loves me more. 24 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 2: But we added nine trillion dollars in value to retirement accounts, saving. 25 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 4: Saving many people. I mean, they were going out of business. 26 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 4: Think of it. 27 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 2: We added nine trillion dollars of value to retirement account 28 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 2: savings accounts in four to one case. That's during the 29 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 2: course of twelve months, and I think it's probably eleven. 30 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 4: Months, because I don't think they have it for the twelve. 31 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 4: They have it for the. 32 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 2: Eleven added nine trillion dollars of value, lifted more than 33 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 2: one point two million Americans or food stamps in one year. 34 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 2: They would have had another one point two million. We 35 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 2: would have had welfare would have gone up. And instead 36 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: of investing eighteen trillion dollars in our country now it's 37 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 2: probably more than that, but eighteen trillion and having thousands 38 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 2: of plants being built all over the country, you would 39 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: have had thousands of plants closing all over the country. 40 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 2: Then you would have had disinvestment and you would have 41 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 2: had welfare going way up. 42 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 4: You know, if you look at SNAP, take a look 43 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 4: at SNAP. 44 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 2: What happened with that was a seven billion dollars and 45 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 2: it came out to over fifty one billion dollars. Nobody 46 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 2: has ever seen anything like it. The past administration they 47 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 2: had no clue or they were really bad, but They 48 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 2: basically had no clue, but they did have a concept. 49 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: I mean, they're still trying to sell the idea of 50 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 2: men playing in women's sports. You saw that in the 51 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 2: Supreme Court. I mean some of those justices were fighting 52 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 2: for him too. They were fighting for him. But you 53 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 2: saw that just the other day in the Supreme Court. 54 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: Men playing in women's court doesn't work. Secured a record 55 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: breaking eighteen trillion dollars in commitments for new investments Apple, Navidia, SoftBank, 56 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 2: oracle TSMC, Johnson and Johnson, Eli, Lilly and Company, Micron, Astrazenecat, 57 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: General Motors, Hyundi, Ford, Honda, Geospace, many many others. I 58 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: left a Ford plant a week ago in Michigan that 59 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 2: they were going to close two years ago, and now 60 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 2: they just announced that they're going twenty four hours around 61 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: the clock, making cause terriff. I don't know what the 62 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 2: Supreme Court's going to do. I think it to me 63 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 2: to reach so plainly, couldn't be plainer. 64 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 4: You're allowed to do a license. Tariff is probably less 65 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 4: severe than what a license could be. But think of it. 66 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 2: You're allowed to do a license and then they have 67 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 2: a close at the end, something to the effect or 68 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 2: what is necessary. 69 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 4: Something to that event, and what is necessary with staffs. 70 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 2: I don't know where there's a case even there, but 71 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: we've taken in hundreds of billions of dollars, and if 72 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: we lose. 73 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 4: That case, it's possible we're going to have to do 74 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 4: the best we can in paying it back. 75 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 2: I don't know how that's going to be done very 76 00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 2: easily without hurting a lot of people. But we're waiting 77 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: for that case anxiously. And we have tremendous national security 78 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 2: because of tariffs and tremendous income you know we have, 79 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 2: and by the way, no inflation. So everyone said, oh, 80 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: Taryff will cause inflation. We have no inflation. We have 81 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 2: very little inflation. Biden had inflation and he didn't do tariffs. 82 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 2: We had a huge problem we had. We have a 83 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 2: sixty two percent reduction in our trade deficit. So if 84 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 2: you had a one percent reduction, a normal president would 85 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 2: have a one percent two percent reduction, everybody would be 86 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: high fiving. I had a sixty two percent reduction. Next 87 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 2: year we won't have a trade deficit. We secured most 88 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 2: Favored Nations agreements to slash drug prices. 89 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 4: By his mind, to me, I think this might be 90 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 4: the biggest thing of all. 91 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: We get zero talk about it. The New York Times 92 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 2: set a story weigh in the back of the paper, 93 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 2: a little story about it. I think it's the biggest 94 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 2: thing there is when you talk about healthcare. Drug prices 95 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 2: will go down more than ever before for any country 96 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 2: because we were price at such a level that we 97 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 2: were subsidizing the entire world, big place in the world. 98 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 2: We were paying ten, twelve, thirteen times more than other countries. 99 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 2: Thirteen times were not thirteen percent, thirteen times more. A 100 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 2: pill that was selling in London for ten dollars would 101 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: sell in New York for one hundred and thirty dollars. 102 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 2: It's thirteen times more than that. Even but we secured 103 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: most favored nations agreements to slash drug prices by as 104 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: much as three hundred, four hundred, five hundred and even 105 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 2: six hundred percent, including with Pfizer, Astrozeneka, Eli, Lilly, Nova, nordesk, 106 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: jilliad Sciences, EMD, Cerennio, and many others. If you look 107 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 2: at some of the prices that are coming down, where 108 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 2: a price would come down one thousand, three hundred dollars 109 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: coming down to eighty seven dollars think of it. So 110 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 2: something that was costing one thousand, three hundred dollars is 111 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 2: now costing eighty seven dollars, and the fake news as 112 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 2: I want to write about it. 113 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 4: That's why I do this. 114 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 2: I don't like to do this, to be honest with you, 115 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 2: but I do it because I've got to get the 116 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 2: word out. We signed one big beautiful bill. I call 117 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 2: it the Great, big beautiful Bill, delivering the largest tax 118 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 2: cuts in history. No tax on tips, no tax on 119 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 2: Social Security, no tax on overtime. We made interest in 120 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 2: car Loan's tax deductible for US built automobiles only, so 121 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 2: if you build, if you buy an automobile. 122 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 4: Built in the United States. 123 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 2: We're not doing it for Germany and Canada and different places. 124 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 4: We're doing it all ev it's built here. We want 125 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 4: them to be built here. 126 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 2: A lot of the Canadian auto plants are closing and 127 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 2: they're moving into the United States. Same thing with Mexico, 128 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 2: same thing with Germany, and same thing with Japan and 129 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 2: other countries and moving into the United States because of 130 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 2: tariffs because they don't want to pay the tariffs. 131 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 4: It's too much. They can't pay the tariffs, so they're 132 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 4: coming here. 133 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 2: Nothing different than what other smart countries did, but it 134 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 2: works better for us under my leadership. It's not done properly, 135 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 2: but it's done properly. We have again more plants being 136 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 2: built than at any time in the history of our country, 137 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 2: past the largest spending cuts in American history, and that 138 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 2: was true of my first you know, we had a 139 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: tremendous first term. 140 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 4: Also, we rebuilt our military. 141 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: We had one. Yeah, I think we're going to hop 142 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,679 Speaker 1: back in here. We've got Trump talking about the first 143 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: year a lot. I was hoping he'd give us a 144 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: little more of a preview into what's going on, what 145 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: he plans to do in Davos with Greenland. So that's 146 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: I'm thinking part of this buck. 147 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 5: He's probably going to take questions, and that's where we're 148 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 5: likely to have some fireworks. We've been pulling some cuts. 149 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 5: In the event that you missed it. Here's what I 150 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 5: think are the most newsworthy cuts. Producer Greg has been 151 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 5: grabbing them. Here's Trump cut thirty two saying all Ice 152 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 5: wants to do is remove criminals, and they're getting abused 153 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 5: by guys that are losers, like non Lemon cut thirty two. 154 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 2: So this is what the people are trying to protect 155 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 2: because all Ice wants to do is get them out 156 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 2: of our country, bring them to the prisons, in jails 157 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 2: and mental institutions from where they came. That's all they 158 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 2: want to do, the patriots, and they have to be 159 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 2: abused by guys like Don Lemon, who's a loser, light weight. 160 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 4: I saw him the way he walked in that church. 161 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 4: It was terrible. I have such respect for that pastor. 162 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 4: He was so calm, he was so nice. He was 163 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 4: just accosted. 164 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 2: What they did in that church was horrible yesterday. Look, 165 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 2: twenty four convictions, twenty four times convicted, did not charges. 166 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 2: These are convictions. So he comes from outside the country. 167 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 2: Do you think he's going to be good here? Convicted 168 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 2: twenty four times, he's going to be good here? Right? 169 00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 4: It doesn't work. 170 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 5: That way, all right, Bock, here's another one to cut 171 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 5: thirty three talking about the fraud in Minnesota and Elon 172 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 5: Omar more on this Trump in the press briefing just 173 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 5: a few moments ago. 174 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 2: Nobody talks about the fact that nineteen billion dollars at 175 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 2: a minimum is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree, 176 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 2: but by Somalians. They've taken it Somalians, can you imagine, 177 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: And they don't do it. A lot of very low 178 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 2: IQ people they don't do it. Other people work it 179 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 2: out and they get the money and they go out 180 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 2: and buy Mercedes Benzes, and they come from here. 181 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 4: They have no money. 182 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 2: They never had money, They never had a life, they 183 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 2: never had a government, they never had a country, because 184 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 2: there's basically no country. Somalia is not even a country. 185 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 2: They don't have anything that resembles a country. And if 186 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 2: it is a country, it's considered just about the worst. 187 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 6: In the world. 188 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 4: They come here, they become rich, and they're of a job. 189 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 2: I was told that ilan Omar is worth thirty million dollars. 190 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,359 Speaker 4: She never had a job. She's a crooked congressman. 191 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: It's remarkable. Now, the thirty million figure. We went over 192 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: this just to be fair. It's from the Congressional Finance 193 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: disclosure they have to make and it's six to thirty million, 194 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: so we'll or five to thirty million something like that. 195 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: So that could be thirty but it could also be 196 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 1: substantially less. But I don't even know how she made 197 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: the millions from her husband somehow venture capital. He's very 198 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 1: very good at that. We're told Clay on the start 199 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: of this press conference. Though this is something that I 200 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: think also is going to be a problem for Democrats. 201 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: He keeps showing, he kept showing these effectively wanted posters. Yeah, 202 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: of these guys, and they're wanted for rape, wanted for murder, 203 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: wanted for think about a heinous crime. Serious felons who 204 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: aren't supposed to be our problem. Think about this, They're 205 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: not even they're not supposed to be our problem. First 206 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 1: and foremost, as a public safety threat, none of us, 207 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: no American should be walking around and dealing with. Oh, 208 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: maybe the person who was never even supposed to be 209 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: in this country, who's already been arrested and should have 210 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: been deported. Maybe that person is going to rob, murder, carjack, whatever, me. 211 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: But even beyond that, even if you put them in prison, 212 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: we shouldn't be paying their bills, Yes, paying for their healthcare, 213 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: paying for their food, paying to keep them in this prison. 214 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: They are someone else's problem. And that's why Trump spent 215 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 1: the first you know, like five minutes just holding up 216 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: all these wanted posters. 217 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 5: I think what you're seeing here a little bit buck 218 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 5: is a preview for what his state of the Union 219 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 5: is going to sound like President Trump to me, seems 220 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 5: frustrated at his ability to communicate what has been done. 221 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 5: In fact, here's a quote, maybe I have bad public 222 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 5: relations people, President Trump says, as he asks why he's 223 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 5: not getting more credit for what's going on in the economy. 224 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 5: And so I think he's starting to run through this litany, 225 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 5: this roster of things that he's proud of that they've 226 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 5: done in year one, and it almost feels like a 227 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 5: State of the Union address as much as it does 228 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 5: a White House press briefing. Now we will see when 229 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 5: or if he opens up the floor to questions, because 230 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 5: sometimes Buck, as you know, he'll stand up there and 231 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 5: answer questions for an hour or more about everything under 232 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 5: the sun, and that often is a window into what 233 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 5: he is thinking and often makes news in a substantial 234 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 5: amount of different directions. So that is what's going on 235 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 5: right now. We are continuing to monitor this and we 236 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 5: will keep you updated. By the way, Fox News reporting 237 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 5: that the Department of Justice has served grand jury subpoenas 238 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 5: to Tim Walls and Jacob Frye, the governor and mayor 239 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 5: of Minnesota and Minneapolis, respectively, So we'll follow that too 240 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 5: as to whether or not there may be an investigation 241 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 5: into their potential responsibility criminal culpability surrounding all the fraud 242 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 5: and crimes that have been committed in Minneapolis in recent history. 243 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: If you've got credit card bills, do this month with 244 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: those holiday purchases.

That's because Puretalk operates on the 252 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: same cell towers and network as one of those other 253 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: companies I named, but without all the overhead expenses.

President Trump 267 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 5: in the midst of a press conference will be I 268 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 5: would imagine answering some questions before all is finished. Here 269 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 5: a recitation of accomplishments that he believes the administration has 270 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 5: achieved so far. And let's play a couple more cuts 271 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 5: from what is going on inside of that press conference 272 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 5: right now. Cut thirty four Trump recapping and historic year one, 273 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 5: what he is most proud of. I don't think we 274 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 5: played this one yet. 275 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 2: We ended Biden stagflation. We were in stagflation. That's a disaster. 276 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 2: That's far worse than inflation. As you know, he had 277 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 2: the biggest inflation in the history of our country. They 278 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 2: say forty eight years, pick your choice, but they had 279 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 2: the biggest inflation in the history of our country. We 280 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 2: have it right down to a normal number. Now we're 281 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 2: going to get it even a little bit lower created 282 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:01,239 Speaker 2: super high. What we've done with with growth is incredible. 283 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 2: We created super high economic growth and America is booming. 284 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 4: It's booming. 285 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 2: There are thousands of businesses right now that are being built. 286 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 4: Many of the biggest factories in the. 287 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 2: World are being built right in our country. They're not 288 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 2: going to other countries. They're leaving other countries. Fourth quarter 289 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 2: GDPs on track to pass perhaps much more than five 290 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 2: percent growth. And that's despite the fact that we had 291 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 2: a Democrat shutdown. They shut down our country and we 292 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 2: had five percent. Nobody's in this room has ever heard 293 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 2: about five percent. I think it could be twenty percent 294 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 2: if we do it right. 295 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: If we don't. 296 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 4: Every time we have good numbers, they raise interest rates. 297 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 4: It shouldn't do. 298 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 2: In the old days, if you had good numbers, they'd 299 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 2: lower interest rates, or they wouldn't do anything. 300 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 7: Here. 301 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 2: They try and kill it. They always try and kill success. 302 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 2: Over the last twenty twenty five years. 303 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 4: That's the way. 304 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: In the old days, if you had good numbers, the 305 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 2: market would go through the roof. 306 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 4: Today, if you have good numbers, the market goes down. 307 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 2: But by the way, we've had the best stock market 308 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 2: in history, the best four oh one k is in history, 309 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 2: and we inherited a mess. The numbers that we inherited 310 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 2: area were way up and now we brought them almost 311 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 2: all of them way down. 312 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: Well, he's got a lot on the economic side, I 313 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: think goes to support things are going really well. As 314 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: we've discussed Clay, We've got a lot of challenges here 315 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: still ahead on the economic front. But Trump has much 316 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: that he can point to that is particularly I think 317 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: on the positive side of a ledger. And that's what 318 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: he's doing. And I think his frustration is well one 319 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: with the FED with rats big time, and I think 320 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: that's fair, like really objectively, I can I can point 321 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: to a whole ranger. I talked to a whole bunch 322 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: of people who work in finance and are very involved 323 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: in the markets, and they'll tell you, Yeah, they've just 324 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: waited too long to lower these rates. And it's just 325 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: and I don't understand that's perhaps as much art as 326 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: it is science for some people, it's very much a 327 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: judgment call. But I think his frustration comes from that 328 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: he's doing the things that can be done. Like what 329 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: the people that feel frustrated about the Trump economy, what 330 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: do they want him to do that he's not trying 331 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: to do. That's what I would That's what I would 332 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: want to ask, like, what is the lever that he 333 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: could pull? Tariff's is the one thing that some people 334 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: were maybe iffy about tariffs. It seems to be that's 335 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: not causing the rise and prices we were told about. 336 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: It is bringing in hundreds of billions of dollars the 337 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 1: American economy. So it seems like Trump is doing the 338 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: things he needs to do. 339 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 4: Yeah. 340 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 5: Look, I think the challenge for twenty twenty six, especially 341 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 5: over the next several months, is going to be communicating 342 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 5: things are getting better in the economy without making people 343 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 5: feel like you are not acknowledging the way that they 344 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 5: feel when they go to. 345 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: The grocery store. 346 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 5: And balancing that is a challenge, which is why I 347 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 5: come back to it takes a while for these impacts 348 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 5: to be felt across the board, and that's what we're 349 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 5: waiting on now. 350 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: Following the nine to eleven attacks, New York's firefighter Daniel 351 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: Foley assisted in the rescue and recovery efforts at Ground Zero. 352 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: At that time, he couldn't have known that his heroism 353 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: would later cost him his life. Daniel spent months at 354 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,959 Speaker 1: Ground Zero searching for victims, including his firefire brother Thomas Foley, 355 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: who was killed in the attacks. Daniel's father also took 356 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 1: part in the efforts at Ground Zero. He died years 357 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: later from a rare nine to eleven related leukemia. Daniel's death, 358 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: like so many others, was also a direct result of 359 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: nine to eleven related cancer. He leaves behind his wife, 360 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: Carrie and their five children.

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. 370 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: Hi, welcome back in to Clay and Buck. So Trump 371 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: is He's free island right now. He's just letting it 372 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: rip up at the podium. We're gonna bring in some 373 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: of the highlights of it, because he's weaving, for sure, 374 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: kind of going in and out of the different things. Uh. 375 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: And and I think he's laying some of the groundwork 376 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: for his discussions in Davos and specifically over Greenland, which 377 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: I think is very much gonna be. Uh. It's gonna 378 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: be a bit of a showdown with some of these 379 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: European bureaucrat types. For example, Clay here is cut eighteen 380 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: European Commission President Ursula vonder leyan you know of the 381 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: of the vonder Leans. Yes, here she is saying that 382 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: Greenland is non negotiable play eighteen. 383 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 6: Ladies and gentlemen, we consider the people of the United 384 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 6: States not just our allies, but our friends, and plunging 385 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 6: us into a downwards spiral which only ate the very 386 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 6: adversaries we are both so permitted to keeping out of 387 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 6: the strategic landscape. So our response will be unflinching, united 388 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 6: and proportional. But beyond this, we have to be strategic 389 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 6: about how we approach this issue, and this is why 390 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 6: we're working on a package to support archic security first principle, 391 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 6: full solidarity with Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark. The 392 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 6: sovereignty and integrity of their territory is non negotiative. 393 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: Well, I mean everything has a price. 394 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 5: Well, why does Denmark get to have control over Greenland 395 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 5: If it's so bad for non Greenlanders to be in 396 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 5: control of in any way their future. Why is Denmark 397 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 5: allowed to still have this asset and buck? Let me 398 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 5: just what President Trump is looking towards is, I think 399 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 5: a future where if you saw what Russia did with Ukraine, 400 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 5: where they went in and they decided that they were 401 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 5: going to take that territory. He's asking a very valid question. 402 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 5: There isn't basically no defense of Greenland at all. What 403 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 5: if Russia decides that they want to go in and 404 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 5: occupy that country because of its strategic value, which Russia. 405 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 1: Has done numerous times in the last two decades to 406 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: countries that are sovereign nations with real militaries. 407 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 5: I might Well, you just came back from Taiwan. I mean, 408 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 5: what China has done is slowly try to, especially in 409 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 5: the South China Sea, takeover shipping lanes, restrict who's allowed 410 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 5: to transport, and ingress and egress in those areas. Why 411 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 5: is it crazy to think that Russia as these Arctic 412 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 5: shipping lanes open up, might not engage in aggressive behavior 413 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 5: and start to try to take over. And I think 414 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 5: what Trump's looking forward towards is trying to limit that 415 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 5: from ever becoming a reality. 416 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: Here is a Danish parliament member, among the most well known, 417 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: because none of us know any of them, Rasmus Jarlav. 418 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: I've always been a fan. I'm a Jarlav family. I 419 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: celebrate Rasmus's whole catalog. Here Hea is cut seventeen. 420 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 4: We will, of. 421 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: Course defend Greenland. 422 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 8: If there is innovation by American troops, it would be 423 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 8: a war and we would be fighting against each other. 424 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 8: We know that the Americans are stronger than us, and 425 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 8: you have a much. 426 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 4: Stronger military than ours. 427 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 8: But it is our duty to defend our land and 428 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 8: our people and the fifty seven thousand Danish citizens that 429 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 8: live in Greenland that have made it absolutely crystal clear 430 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 8: that they don't want to be taken by the United States. 431 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 8: We have an obligation to fight for those people, and 432 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 8: our forces will do that, but it would be a 433 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,120 Speaker 8: disaster also for the United States. 434 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: We're not there's not going to be a war, like 435 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: what is this? You know, this is reckless stuff. No 436 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: one's shooting, and we love Danes. Danes are great people, 437 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: and Greenlanders we don't really know them very well, or 438 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: at least I don't. Have you ever met someone from Greenland? 439 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I mean, there's not very many 440 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,479 Speaker 1: of them. We have Greenland listeners right now, but they're 441 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: on the they're on the Space Force base. 442 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 5: Well, look, here is what's going to happen if we 443 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 5: are going to acquire Greenland. It is going to require 444 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 5: us to make cash payments to people who live in Greenland, 445 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 5: and they're going to vote to be territorially connected to 446 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 5: the United States instead of Denmark. 447 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 1: You can be rich an American, or you can be 448 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: cold and Danish. 449 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 5: Yes, that's a good analogy. Also, Denmark is spending, based 450 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 5: on my reading, around a billion dollars a year. Because 451 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 5: as we started I think this week or last week 452 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 5: maybe it was, we were talking about this, the primary 453 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 5: economic value right now of Greenland is shrimp. Now, I'm 454 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 5: a big fan of shrimp. I've been a lot of 455 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 5: you out there like to eat shrimp. It's not exactly 456 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 5: but the big greatest foundation for economic viability in the 457 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 5: twenty first century to say, hey, what is your country known. 458 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: For well, we we go out. 459 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 5: And we harvest a lot of shrimp from the sea, 460 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 5: and so it's all these mineral rights going forward. Again, 461 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 5: I just I don't think Trump is getting enough credit. 462 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 5: The one thing the guy knows is land value development. 463 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 5: He is looking at this and he's thinking not for 464 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 5: the next five years, he's thinking for the next twenty five, 465 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 5: next one hundred years. This is a decision that makes 466 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 5: rational sense to him. 467 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: Well, why also you think of something like like Greenland 468 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: or or you know, the Falklands, which they did fight 469 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: a war over with Argentina a while ago, back in 470 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: the early eighties between the Brits and the Argentinians. Margaret 471 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: Thatcher was not messing around. She also had a bit 472 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: of a find out, you know, mess around and find 473 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: out foreign policy approach. But these are places that are 474 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: self governed but have some connection to another country for 475 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: their defense. Like we have to pretend like this is 476 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: an integral part of this this nation sovereignty. Again, I 477 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: would not advocate I would not support Trump just taking 478 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: this stuff by force. There has to be consent of 479 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 1: the people that would be governed. There has to be 480 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,719 Speaker 1: an agreement, there has to be a negotiation, for this. 481 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: But it's like I said, I mean, you're we got 482 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 1: we got a man here who is really the legal 483 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: legal of the US Virgin Island. 484 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,160 Speaker 5: There's not very many of us that are actual warriors 485 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 5: licensed in United States. 486 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 1: One day, I view, is gonna be on a cruise 487 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: and something's gonna go awry. You know, you're gonna have 488 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: some problem and you're gonna be calling mister Clay Travis 489 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: here on the radio show asking him for advice because 490 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: he knows his way around the legal system in the 491 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 1: US Virgin Islands. But if if Russia because they wanted 492 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: a warm place for their billionaires, for the oligarchs, well 493 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: Russia is a bad idea because we don't we got 494 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: all these problems with Russia. But I'm just if some 495 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: foreign country said, you know what we're gonna give you, 496 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, a trillion dollars for the US Virgin 497 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: Islands and we'll provide all defense and whatever, I think 498 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: we should hear them out. Depends on what the who 499 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: the country is. Russia is a bad example because strategically 500 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: that's a problem for US. But if the UK, if 501 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,959 Speaker 1: the UK for some reason they're on their ass is financially, 502 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: they couldn't do this. But if they offered US a 503 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: trillion dollars to take the rest of the Virgin Islands. 504 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, we're gonna merge. 505 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lose any sleep over that. Like, that's 506 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 1: gonna be okay for me, the BBI in the USBI. 507 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 5: But I think what's more likely to happen in that situation, 508 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 5: and the USBI is actually a good analogy for Greenland. 509 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 5: There's a round ninety five thousand people ish, a little 510 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 5: bit less than one hundred in Saint Croix, Saint Thomas, 511 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 5: and Saint John. Okay, I was a citizen of the 512 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 5: United States of Virgin Islands. We are a territory. That 513 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 5: means we can't vote for president, but we are subject 514 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 5: to US jurisdiction. There's fifty seven thousand people in Greenland. 515 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 5: The last asset we bought nineteen seventeen US Virgin Islands. Now, 516 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 5: we bought all three of these islands from Denmark in 517 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 5: nineteen seventeen for twenty five million dollars in cash. Why 518 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 5: is that not an analogistic example of what could happen 519 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 5: with Greenland? And by the way, the reason we wanted 520 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,719 Speaker 5: the US Virgin Islands, to my understanding, is to have 521 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 5: a basically shipping depot for transit purposes as it pertained 522 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 5: to asset strategic assets in Latin America and also then 523 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,120 Speaker 5: for going across to Europe for shipping lanes everything else. 524 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 5: So I am a territorial lawyer in the US Virgin Islands, 525 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 5: why would it not make sense to have Greenland under 526 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 5: the exact same auspices? And I believe what American Samoa 527 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 5: we've talked about all the territories that are uniquely the 528 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 5: insular cases. For those of you who really want to 529 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 5: dive into the legal proceedings of the US Virgin Islands 530 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 5: back in the day, there's an entire Supreme Court precedent 531 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 5: surrounding these territories which are not states, which are not 532 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 5: allowed to vote for president of the United States, for instance, 533 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 5: that are still subject to American jurisdiction. So you have 534 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 5: some form of independence, but you're under the fabric of 535 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 5: the United States protection. Why would that not make sense 536 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 5: for Greenland? And again I come back to the way 537 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 5: this would work is we would pay every Greenlander a 538 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 5: certain amount of money and they would decide that they 539 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 5: no longer want to be affiliated with Denmark, and that 540 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 5: seems eminently rational to me. They would have better life, 541 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 5: they would have better economic situation, and we're going to 542 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 5: hear that in great detail, I think, starting tomorrow in 543 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 5: President Trump. I don't think the timing on this is 544 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 5: an accident that he's going to go to Davos and 545 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 5: be speaking to the entirety of the world. 546 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: All right, when we. 547 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 5: Come back, we will take some of your talkback. We 548 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 5: will close up shop on the Tuesday edition of the program. 549 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 5: As President Trump continues to talk in front of the 550 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 5: media here on the one year anniversary of Trump two 551 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 5: point oh. And I want to tell you going into 552 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 5: this weekend AFC Championship Game, NFC Championship Game, Buck and 553 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 5: Iron Miami. We went last night to watch Indiana and 554 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 5: Miami play a stellar. 555 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: Hither those of you are mad at me. If you 556 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: go with my football analysis, you get what you get. Okay, 557 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: I know I was wrong on Miami, but it was 558 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: closed if that one guy had caught the ball instead 559 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: of the other guy at the end. 560 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, there had been an interception. If we hadn't had 561 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 5: the block kick for a touchdown. That was a implosion 562 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 5: by the Miami special teams. But we got the AFC 563 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 5: and the NFC both playing Sunday in what should be 564 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 5: epic games.

Let's start with 598 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 5: let's see CC Dan out in Oregon. We were saying, 599 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 5: it's one year, what grade would you give the president? 600 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 5: A lot of you weighing in, here's Dan. 601 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 3: I would say all in all, I would give him 602 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 3: an A plus. He's accomplished more stuff in his first 603 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 3: year in presidents all the way back into the Bush administration, 604 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 3: He's basically made all these presidents look pretty bad. He's 605 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 3: kind of destroyed their legacies, and he's accomplished stuff that 606 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 3: all of them talked about never did. He got it 607 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 3: done and he didn't screw around doing it. I'd give 608 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 3: him an A plus all the way. 609 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 5: Brian in Woosta, mass DD, he's got this to say. 610 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 9: I'm going to go with a B plus for Trump. 611 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 9: I mean, I fully support everything he does, but I 612 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 9: think there's a lot of things that haven't been addressed, 613 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 9: as far as like the DJ going after all the 614 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 9: people who were in on the whole hiding bidensonility, all 615 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 9: of his auto pen stuff which should be rolled back, 616 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 9: which hasn't been, Epstein file stuff. There's a lot of 617 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 9: things that the DJ hasn't addressed that should have been. 618 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 9: So I'll go with a solid B plus. 619 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,479 Speaker 5: Ee Roger out in Arizona KFYI Radio. 620 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: Here's his take. 621 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 10: I would give Trump a A for domestic and an 622 00:31:55,040 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 10: A for foreign relations. I just wish he would keep 623 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 10: bating the left and the media to fall into his 624 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 10: little verbal traps that he can make and he's so 625 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 10: good at. 626 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 5: Ee is Peter from New York City wr Radio. He's 627 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 5: got a President Trump review as well. What grade would 628 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 5: he give him? 629 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: I would give President Trump an A. 630 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 11: However, I would give Congress D You know, imagine what 631 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 11: could happen if the House and Senate got behind Donald 632 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 11: Trump instead of fighting him. 633 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: We'd be light years ahead. 634 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 5: Look, I think this is going to be one of 635 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 5: the challenges that's out there is whoever follows Trump. If 636 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 5: it's going to be jd Vance or Marco Rubio or 637 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 5: someone in the Trump ilk, then there's a lot that 638 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 5: Trump has done that will be maintained and will be 639 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 5: built on. The challenge is buck If we don't maintain 640 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 5: control in twenty twenty eight, then you're going to the 641 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 5: next Democrat roll in with his or her pen and 642 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 5: they're going to start immediately wiping out the accomplishments of 643 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 5: President Trump, just like we saw President Trump do within 644 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 5: the first month for Joe Biden. 645 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 1: H F. Sorry, did Peter? Where g G G? That's 646 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,479 Speaker 1: what I'm looking for? GG hit it. 647 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 12: I give Trump a B plus, But even if I 648 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 12: gave him an F, I'd still vote for him. Again, 649 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 12: the left is so crazy, so weird. So uh, how 650 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 12: can you explain it out of touch? There's just no 651 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 12: way you can go back to those crazies. 652 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 13: Uh. 653 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: Now we've got one from Anchorage, Alaska. KK. Pam, let's 654 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: hear it. Hello, did I know You're I'm. 655 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,479 Speaker 13: So tempted to explain to Gavin Newsome what pathetic really is. 656 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 13: But I'm going to keep it light. Clay, it's gonna 657 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 13: be hurtful if you go visit Inland before Alaska. 658 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something, and this is this is 659 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: this is the honest truth, Pam. I was talking to 660 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: Clay yesterday about helping him because I've already been to Alaska. 661 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: I love the great state of Alaska. Helping Clay to 662 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: pull together a fantastic trip for him, his wife, and 663 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: his kids as boys to go to Alaska. I think 664 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:21,919 Speaker 1: they got to go this summer. I think they got 665 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: to go to Alaska. Maybe maybe they do the crew 666 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,800 Speaker 1: situation up there. Maybe they go to a nice lodge. 667 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,399 Speaker 1: Clay can pretend to fly fish for ten minutes before 668 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: he just goes with old school fishing. Everyone does that. 669 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: By the way, this is one hundred percent true. 670 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 5: On Sunday night, one of the people we were at 671 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 5: dinner with is involved in travel planning, and I was 672 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 5: grilling or all about Alaska. My wife wants to go. 673 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,879 Speaker 5: My oldest son has talked about how he wants to go. 674 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: I get it. 675 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 5: It would be quite the slap in the face if 676 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 5: somehow I ended up in Greenland before I went to 677 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 5: Alaska's He's not. 678 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: Wrong, Clay's Clay's really setting him stuff up for some 679 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: great stuff here because he's gonna do the Alcatraz swim 680 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: because he's not worried about the sharks, you know, And 681 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 1: and he thinks he's faster than a grizzly bear in 682 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 1: a foot race, so he's gonna check that out when 683 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: he's in Alaska. 684 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 5: I will say this, there's a lot of people, it 685 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 5: seems like, getting attacked by sharks lately, including people swimming 686 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 5: in big groups, which I was always told protected you. 687 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 5: And everybody was like, Oh, if you're swimming in a 688 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 5: big group, you don't ever have to worry about something. 689 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 1: This woman, you saw this. I sent you the. 690 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 5: Story to what this woman in a big swim just 691 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 5: vanished and they didn't know what happened to her. It 692 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 5: turns out that she got eaten by a great white yep. 693 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:39,320 Speaker 5: And my concern on the Alcatraz swim is all concerns 694 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 5: I'm not I'm not concerned about making it. I'm concerned 695 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 5: about getting eaten. If you were a shark, and if 696 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 5: you were watching this great mass of people, really good swimmers, 697 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 5: i would look like a wounded seal because I'm so 698 00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:00,240 Speaker 5: far behind everybody else, these triathletes, these Riley Games, extraordinary 699 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 5: swimmers that they would think this is the one that 700 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 5: I should go get because I don't have to attack 701 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 5: in en moss, this huge group of swimmers. I just 702 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 5: go get the wounded seal, and I just I feed 703 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 5: off of them. And so I'm increasingly concerned that I 704 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 5: might get eaten, and that's not a good place to be. 705 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 5: So I'm less concerned. You know, when I was in 706 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,240 Speaker 5: the Virgin Islands, there was a one and a quarter 707 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 5: mile swim. The water is nice and calm in Meghan's Bay, 708 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 5: and my wife said, this is where you should prove 709 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 5: that you can swim in a mile in a quarter 710 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 5: because you're not probably gonna get eaten by a shark. 711 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 5: Although they did just have a Virgin Island shark attack, 712 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 5: but in Meghan's Bay. I felt pretty safe, and I 713 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 5: could prove that I could swim the mile in a 714 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 5: quarter and I would be fine. So my wife is concerned. 715 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 5: She just texted me there's way too many sharks. She's 716 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 5: worried that I would get eaten in San Francisco Bay. 717 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 5: And some days she might welcome that, but most days 718 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:53,360 Speaker 5: I think she wouldn't. 719 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: We'll be back tomorrow.
