'The View' Hosts Jaws Drop as Zohran Mamdani Accidentally Reveals How Radical He Really Is

25:44I thought this was interesting from Polymarket. Will Don Lemon be criminally charged? At the moment, according to Polymarket, 26 % of people think that Harmeet Dillon will drag Don Lemon away in handcuffs. We shall see. Um, noted retired lesbian, Ellen DeGeneres, who fled to move to, where'd she go to? She went to the UK, right? Because that's a great, as the Islamists take over, that's going to work out well for the lesbos. She is back on camera, apparently with a little less makeup than the old days. And here she is. She's just so proud of the anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis. Hey, everybody.

26:23I just wanted to say I am so sorry for what is happening in Minneapolis and in our country, really, but specifically Minneapolis right now because it's where I shot my last stand-up special and everybody there couldn't have been more lovely. I shot it there because they say it's the happiest city in America and I found that to be true. So my thoughts and my prayers are going out to everyone and I'm proud of everyone who's protesting peacefully and I am sorry for anyone who has been hurt. I do have to say, devil is due. It is nice that she said she's proud of everyone who's protesting peacefully.

27:05If you want to peacefully protest and not take over streets and not throw ice at these guys and all of the things that they're doing, you want to peacefully do it, that is your First Amendment right. Now, you can't do it in a church. I don't know what has happened to her. I mean, she just looks so haggard and everything. But you know, it's just so interesting. Again, taking the position, you are as elite as it gets, Ellen. You are worth $500 million. Is anyone in this room worth? No, nobody in this room is worth$500. That's an awful lot of money. Your house in, was it Montecito? Was it Montecito?

27:41She sold this when she moved to the UK to flee America. $96 million? Is that what you told me? That was a$96 million house. think of the amount of illegals that she had working on that house. Like think of the amount of crew. I don't know how many acres that is and everything else, but she had tons of illegals working there, obviously, obviously. So you're fine with illegals as long as they stay in your perpetual servitude, right? And also, I would imagine that there was a hefty fence around that thing, and it was probably in a gated community. And I can only imagine, Ellen, how many security guards you had at that place, because you wouldn't have wanted criminals and rapists and I don't know, the average jihadi who's not too thrilled with a lesbian to break into your house.

28:22And I would tell you, you are right for that. So why is it that you are so radically against the average person of Minnesota who does not want fraud and does not want illegals running around their city? Maybe you should think about that just a little bit. Let's talk about Morgan & Morgan for a moment and then we will shift over to Davos. If you've ever been seriously hurt in an accident, your injury could actually be worth millions, and most people have no idea. Insurance companies love to lowball claims offering way less than what you deserve. That's why there's Morgan & Morgan, America's largest injury law firm, with over 1 ,000 attorneys across 50 states.

28:59They've been fighting for people for more than 30 years, and they don't settle for lowball offers. Just recently, they won$12 million in Florida,$26 million in Philadelphia, and$6.8 million in New York, all way above what insurance companies offered. And the best part? It's completely free unless you win. No upfront costs, no hidden fees. It takes only a couple minutes to see if you have a case. Did you know you can start a claim with America's largest injury law firm in just one click? It's super easy. Just go to forthepeople.com slash Rubin or click the link in the description and pin comment.

29:36All right, so the World Economic Forum is doing their annual meeting in Davos, and you know what this is. This is where George Soros and or his son or his acolytes and Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates and Emperor Palpatine, they all show up and they give their big scary speeches about how they're going to rejigger the world and you're going to own nothing and be happy. They're going to own a lot of shit and be real happy. You're going to own nothing and just be regularly happy. and they bring on all of the bad guys and they say all of the bad things. And one of the bad guys that they brought on was Gavin Newsom, a man who destroyed San Francisco, who destroyed California, who has a goal to destroy America.

30:12So they gave him the mic and here he is basically instigating Europeans to turn against America. Do you have a message for Europeans who are concerned about the messages from the White House around Greenland this week? Yeah, it's time to buck up. It's time to get serious and stop being complicit. It's time to stand tall and firm, have a backbone. I've seen this in the United States, the supine Congress playing both sides, saying one thing on a text or a tweet, another publicly. It's time to have principles. It's time to stand tall and strong. Does that mean responding with tariffs? It's time to stand united.

30:54You make that determination. I don't make that determination. But when you say standing tall, what do you mean? just I can't take this complicity. People rolling over. I should have brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders. I mean, handing out crowns and handing, I mean, this is pathetic. Nobel prizes, they are being given away. Knee pads, knee pads. Gab, I heard there were some knee pads at your old parties in San Francisco.

31:22The fact that he goes to Davos, which the whole purpose of the World Economic Forum is that they want a globalist agenda, right? They don't want America to lead the world, and they really don't want sovereign nations. They want to rethink the entire globe, meaning that there will be a globalist, up-down way of looking at the world, and we will all be subservient to that. Donald Trump represents the complete reverse of that. We'll have a bit from his speech in just a second. And there's Gavin Newsom telling them that they should basically buck up against Donald Trump and fight Donald Trump. Are you an American or are you, well, you're an alien, actually.

31:59You're an evil alien lizard person, but I think you have American citizenship. Even he can get an ID, which probably says American on it. And it's like, and there you go. You go to Switzerland to tell the Europeans that they should fight against the United States of America. Here's a bit more on his position as it pertains to the Europeans and Donald Trump. And I hope people understand how pathetic they look on the world stage. I mean, at least from an American perspective. It's embarrassing. So what should Europe be doing? You should decide, the Europeans should decide for themselves what to do.

32:34But one thing they can't do is what they've been doing. And they've been playing. This guy is playing folks for fools. And it's embarrassing. Europeans think this is diplomacy and this will ultimately work. This is diplomacy with Donald Trump? He's a T-Rex. You mate with him or he devours you. One or the other. And you're a straighter. No, Europeans could be if they continue to look down this path and process. They need to stand tall, stand firm, stand united. You know, it's interesting. He did say one thing there. Europeans should decide for themselves. Actually, you're right. Sovereign nations should decide what their borders are.

33:12For example, there's a small country in Central Europe called Hungary. And Hungary pays 1 million euros a day to keep their borders closed as a tax that they are paying to the European Union because the European Union wanted everybody's borders to be open. So they pay 365 million euros a year just so that they can have access to European markets because they're keeping their borders closed. So Hungary is doing what it has to. That's not fair at all. And it's actually profoundly evil. but all of these European nations, they all decided, oh no, we'll be part of the European Union. We'll listen to bureaucrats in Brussels and everything else.

33:48We'll let all these people into our countries. We will basically become failed states. France will basically be a Muslim nation within a decade or two. It's like, you're right. They should have, well, I suppose you're right in some sense. They should have made some decisions for themselves but instead their leaders decided to make decisions that were in line with what the WEF wants, It's not what the average German or Frenchman or Brit wants. That is the problem. And again, this thing, this thing that he would have the gall to go across the world as Donald Trump is fighting for America. We're the last great nation on earth.

34:26We really are. We are the last great superpower. And without us, this thing spins out of control at a degree that would be almost unthinkable. And there he is basically with a little hatchet, little chisel going after Trump's Achilles while he's there. It's absolutely disgusting. Here is Trump speaking sort of directly to Newsom in some sense. We're gonna help the people in California. We wanna have no crime. I know Gavin was here. I used to get along so great with Gavin when I was president. Gavin's a good guy. And we're gonna, if he needed it, I would do it in a heartbeat. I'd love to see. We did help them a lot in Los Angeles, a lot with the early early in my term when they had some problems.

35:11But we would love to do it. I will say this. If I were a Democrat governor or whatever, I would call up Trump. I say, come on in, make us look good because we're cutting crime down to nothing. And we're taking people out, career criminals who are only going to do bad things. And we're bringing it back to their countries. There's Gav. Look at me. Look at me. You know, it's so interesting. And again, there's Trump and it's a little hard to tell, like, is that prompter, not prompter, but his comfortability up there, just go. It's not easy. Just anyone think of this, even if you've never publicly spoken in your life, to just walk into a room of people that basically hate you.

35:45Donald Trump represents everything that is complete 180 polar opposite of what these people want. And even at this point, through all the hate Trump's been through for the last decade and all of the evil things, and they try to shoot him and all the rest of it, it's still not that easy to do that sort of thing, right? Like I've spoken in front of loving crowds usually, and sometimes I've spoken in front of hostile crowds and it's, it's not that easy to do actually, uh, and confront people with the truth. Um, so there's, and, and again, he, he has this way of saying something that's like so honest as, as a throwaway in some sense.

36:21He's basically like, look, if you're a governor in one of these places, I'll help you. So all Gavin, if Gavin, if you want to clean up, you want to be president of the United States, right? So at some point over the next three years, you're going to have to show some receipts that things aren't going completely haywire in California. Now we know it's going haywire economically and crime-wise and the amount of people that you've lost and all of the pet projects that are going nowhere. And as Dr. Oz pointed out a couple of days ago, there's going to be a massive fraud investigation that he says is going to completely dwarf what's going on in Minnesota, in California.

36:52So you have all of these problems. It's like, okay, you don't want to clean up the streets. You don't want to look like the bad guy. You want to keep all the drug addicts out there. You want all the urban people to flee and all that stuff. How about then just bring in Donald Trump, make him look like the bad guy. If that's what your vision is just completely backwards. And speaking of backwards, the real issue as it pertains to the sort of globalist government is that if the further the United States steps away from the world, if we just say we're going to have no moral authority. We're going to abandon all our allies.

37:22We're going to have nothing to do with the Western hemisphere. We're not going to influence anyone or anything. Someone will step in. And who's that someone going to be? Well, everyone knows that's going to be China. Here is Emmanuel Macron. I didn't do it. Didn't do it. Emmanuel Macron. He's wearing aviator sunglasses, which a lot of people are saying it's because his wife punched him right before this thing. It's unclear. Some other people are saying, because he does so much coke that his eyes were all bloodshot. I don't know. But here he is for some reason wearing aviator glasses and begging China to help him.

37:53China is welcome. But what we need is more Chinese foreign direct investment in Europe, in some key sectors to contribute to our growth, to transfer some technologies, and not just to export towards Europe some devices or producers or products, which sometimes don't have the same standards or are much more subsidized as the one being produced in Europe. Was I supposed to understand anything he was saying there? In effect, he was saying, hey, we need more of your shit, China. You got to help us. So whether we like it or not, if we step away from the world, China steps in. And even as we are encouraging, I mean, this is what Trump is doing more than anything else.

38:34He's encouraging the Europeans, just like he did in the Middle East a year ago. hey, we won't tell you how to live. You can do a lot of shit without us. Let it be, it's okay. But if you want to share in our success, the economic engine, and it's really the dream engine of the world is still what America is, then you're gonna have to play ball with us and that these people cannot see that and that you've got Gavin Newsom attacking Trump as Trump's telling them, hey, join us, let us help you. It's just crazy. Here's a bit more of Trump just having fun. We're building a golden dome that's going to just by its very nature going to be defending Canada.

39:20Emmanuel Macron I watched him yesterday with those beautiful sunglasses. What the hell happened?

39:32But I watched him sort of be tough, but he was at$10 for a pill. And I said, Emmanuel, and I have the, all the big pharmaceutical companies are in total agreement. It wasn't easy, by the way. They're tough, smart. They've been getting away with this scam for a long time. All right. Sorry. So for a moment, we threw to the wrong video there, but he was, you know, he's basically saying, oh, he's a tough guy with his glasses and everything. Like everyone knows You're nothing at this point, Europe, not to be a dick, but you guys aren't much without us. You can't save yourselves. And you might want to start looking towards America again and saying, boy, you know, America did close its borders.

40:16America is getting its illegals out. America is fixing its economy. America is doing things through a peace through strength strategy to help the world and stop wars. and America is starting to look in its own backyard, the Western hemisphere, and take out a guy like Maduro as Russia and China are encroaching onto Venezuela. Like there's a different sheriff in town and you might wanna be a bit aware of that. Now, a guy who seems to be completely unaware of it or who has just completely abandoned the American alliance and is also looking towards China, it's not just Macron, but here is Mark Carney, the last name is just perfect for this guy, of Canada.

40:56And here he is going after the U.S. because we're doing things a little bit different these days. An American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security and support for frameworks for resolving disputes. So we placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals. And we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality. This bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition. But more recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons.

41:40Tariffs as leverage, financial infrastructure as coercion, supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination. All right, Carney, so we're in the midst of a rupture. Is that what you're telling us? Who do you think that's going to work out for? I love Canadians. I say it all the time. We have so many snowbirds down here that come down here that many of them now don't even go back to Canada anymore. I've always loved the Canadian sense of humor and the great movies that have come out of Canada.

42:17And John Candy was one of my heroes growing up and all the laundry lists of great Canadians. Not a big fan of hockey. And it's a little odd to me that you put poutine on your fries instead of ketchup, but it is what it is. But good luck, man. It's a rupture. You don't like that we've decided to make trade deals that are a little fairer to us. You know, some of the deals were like, if Canadians were to sell cheese in America, there would be no tax added to the cheese. but if we tried to sell cheese to Canada, it was at like a 50 % tax. We just zeroed it out and you're upset about that? What he said, the exact line that he said there was we're in the midst of a rupture, not a transition.

42:52Well, it's only a rupture if you want it to be a rupture. If you want it to be a transition where things are just gonna be a little more different and a little fairer, and by the way, to the backdrop of the sort of endless jihad that you now have on your streets and the immigration problems, you might wanna learn a little something from America. You might want some of the protections that America can offer, not just the economic ones, but also the security ones. But okay, you seem to have made your choice. And I would say, and this is not a shot at the good Canadian people. This is a shot at Carney.

43:22Good luck with that. Trump basically made the same point. We're building a golden dome that's going to just by its very nature, going to be defending Canada. Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way. They should be grateful also, but they're not. I watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasn't so grateful. But they should be grateful to us. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements. There's Carney being all tough. It's a rupture. We don't need you. We're going the other way. Sure, we can. Like, what do you want? If you're the average Canadian, I would love to hear from some Canadians in the comments today.

44:08Like if you're a Canadian, do you think that you're, is there some scenario? I'm a simple guy, lay it out to me simply. Is there some scenario where if things are worse between the United States and Canada, that Canada is better off? I don't really, I can't really envision what that means. Meaning what? That you'd be closer to China and you'd take more money from China and China would have more influence over your country and that would be good. So, you know, we are building this Golden Dome thing. You can like it or not like it, but it's gonna offer some protections to Canada. But again, it's about the economic stuff.

44:40It's about the trade stuff and everything else. And why is Carney upset? It's a rupture. He's only saying it's a rupture because for the last three, four decades, we've had completely lopsided trade deals with these people. So they love, you can't blame them in some sense. The Europeans and the Chinese and the Canadians and everyone else, when America was just a bunch of suckers, right? When we were just like, oh, we'll have lopsided trade deals with everybody, meaning we'll just keep buying stuff at premium prices and you're gonna tax the hell out of it to get into your countries. So our economy is barely even open to you.

45:14They were all thrilled. Now Trump comes in as like, we're gonna at least try to make it a little more even, which is exactly what's happening. And now it's a rupture. So who is to blame there? Well, I would blame our old American leaders. I don't blame the Europeans who took advantage of us. Here is Trump basically saying that without the U.S., the world is f***ed.

45:57and it was fine. But I realized that without us, it's not Switzerland anymore. Without us, it's not any of the countries that are represented here. And we wanna work with the country. First off, six, seven countries. Oh, really? I don't know if that's what the kids are doing. Was that pretty good impression of a 15 year old? But of course he's right. The implication is without us guys, you think the world, you think you can all be Switzerland. You think you can all go back to like pre-World War II. I'm not gonna bother anybody. Nobody will bother me. I think it's pretty clear that that's not how it works anymore.

46:32There are people out there. There are bad guys out there who are, there are hordes of people who are invading countries for bad reasons. Then you have China pushing drugs through our borders and everything else. And if you think you can do this without the United States, as Trump basically said, good luck. He's not gonna force anyone to do anything. I think that that's pretty clear. Maybe that's a way, Maybe that's something that he has to illustrate a bit more. You can join us. Like he's pretty good at the, you can join us and be part of our success thing. But maybe he has to just show a little more of the other side of that.

47:04Well, we won't force you. Good luck. I mean, actually, he's doing a pretty decent job at that too. I'm going to show you two clips now of Howard Lutnick, our commerce secretary. And I thought he perfectly, perfectly explains in the room that birthed globalization, which which is now the top down way of looking at the world so that America will not be America. America will just be a cog in a system. He goes into that room and tells them, you guys have failed and America is back. We are in Davos at the World Economic Forum and the Trump administration and myself, we are here to make a very clear point.

47:43Globalization has failed the West and the United States of America. It's a failed policy. It is what the WEF has stood for, which is export offshore, far shore, find the cheapest labor in the world, and the world is a better place for it. The fact is it has left America behind. It has left the American workers behind. And what we are here to say is that America first is a different model, one that we encourage other countries to consider, which is that our workers come first. We can have policies that impact our workers. Sovereignty is your borders. You're entitled to have borders. You shouldn't offshore your medicine.

48:32You shouldn't offshore your semiconductors. You shouldn't offshore your entire industrial base and have it be hollowed out beneath you. Phoenix, what was the book that Yoram Hazoni wrote a couple of years ago? Not The Sovereign. The Case for Nationalism. The Case for Nationalism. What he basically, what Lutnik just laid out right there is basically a very short synopsis of a wonderful book, which I've read several times by Yoram Hazony, who maybe I'll have on the show again, who was part of the sort of brain trust at NatCon. And it basically is that, yes, we are, no one's denying that we are a global world now.

49:09And especially because of this freaking phone, we are all interconnected. and I could be talking to someone in China just as easily as I could be talking to my next door neighbor. That's absolutely incredible. The title of the book is The Virtue of Nationalism. And it's a fairly easy read. It's not a dense book. I highly recommend it. But what he's saying there is, the only way that we can be part of a world community is if each of our micro communities first take care of ourselves. So what should the United States do? Well, the United States should care about Americans. We should care about our workers.

49:42We should care about our economy. We have to have borders so that we're a sovereign nation. And then when our house is in order, if you now want to do a Jordan Peterson version of it, when we've cleaned our room, we can open up the door, look into the hallway, and be like, all right, there's some other people here. They've all got their own rooms. And the guy next door to me, you know, he's pretty good. He cleaned up his room. Maybe we could work together on a project. I don't know, maybe we could, I don't know, put a second level on this house. And then you might go a little further down the hallway and then you open up a door and this guy's laying there and the room's upside down, he hasn't made his bed and it's chaos and whatever.

50:19Like this is some version of what a country could be and you're like, you know what? I can't work with you right now but if you start taking care of your stuff, maybe you could get, come on upstairs with us too. Like that, it's so, it's basic human interaction. Again, the book is Virtua Nationalism. That's what Lutnick laid out. And then I thought this was also quite good just as it pertains to sovereignty, which is the most important thing. We're always told international law and all these things, and it's all nonsense. National sovereignty is what matters, go. You should not be dependent for that which is fundamental to your sovereignty on any other nation.

50:53And if you're going to be dependent on someone, it darn well better be your best allies, okay? And so that is a different way of thinking. It is completely different than the WEF. I viewed the WEF as not a flagpole in the middle. But in fact, they are the flag. Whichever way the wind blew, so it blew. You should have solar. You should have wind. Why are you going to do solar and wind? Why would Europe agree to be net zero in 2030 when they don't make a battery? They don't make a battery. So if they go 2030, they are deciding to be subservient to China who makes the batteries. Again, you gotta give credit to these guys.

51:41They show up in a place where their ideas are completely at odds with all of these people. And you can even see in the body language of these guys, the way they're looking at him. They don't wanna hear this shit, but he's completely right. You know what will happen if you go net zero by 2030, which is just completely absurd? And it's, by the way, it's pushed by China. It's pushed by China. This was a massive issue when we were in Australia a couple weeks ago, a couple months ago. Why would you do it? You will, when you don't produce the stuff, you will starve. You will freeze in the winter. Is that what you want to do?

52:11So you, but they've signed on to all of these treaties and we're a part of all of these accords and the climate change thing. And we're just so good people because we keep putting our names on things that are slowly killing us. Aren't we great? No, you're not great. And without us, you're seriously screwed. We'll have more on that in just a second, but first, go pure. Guys, the holidays can be rough. Late nights, too much sugar, skipped workouts, all those good habits going out the window. But the new year is here. and for me, that reset starts with Cove Pure. Everyone rushes into the new year with supplements, diets, and workout plans, but they ignore the most basic thing, water.

52:44Even mild dehydration hurts your energy, focus, and metabolism. Cove Pure fixes that. Their ClearWave technology is certified to remove over 99 % of contaminants. What you're left with is clean, great-tasting water. What I love about Cove Pure is how easy it is. You can choose hot, cold, or warm water. It heats instantly, and the size preset makes it simple to stay hydrated. Plus, there's no installation. It just sits on your counter and looks great. Cove Pure is making getting clean water as easy as pressing a button. Right now, you can get$200 off for a limited time at covepure.com. That's C-O-V-E-P-U-R-E dot com slash Rubin.

53:18Start the new year right with Cove Pure. All right, so the WF stuff, or WEF, as Lutnik calls it, is still unfolding right now. There are speeches happening right now. So some of this is happening on the fly, and obviously we'll cover a bit more of this tomorrow. But one of the things that really has taken center stage is that Donald Trump is saying that America has a strategic interest in Greenland, which is run by Denmark. I don't want to do an entire history lesson on that, but the short of it would be if we want Greenland, we're going to take it. It's as simple as that. I don't think the Danes are going to stop us.

53:52But Donald Trump has also made the point that we are going back to a sort of revised version of the Monroe Doctrine, which is completely in line with everything that Lutnik said right there, which is that we are going to take care of ourselves and we are going to take care of our part of the world, our neighborhood, which is the Western Hemisphere. And we're also not going to allow the encroachment of Russia and China to continue anymore. So here, now let's jump back to Canada's Mark Carney, who does not want America to take Greenland because he, in essence, is a tool of China. So listen to his sort of word salad around this.

54:28And when President Trump says, oh, you know, Greenland's under threat from Russia, even from China, is that for real? I would say that there are, there are threat, Russia is without question, a threat in the Arctic, without question. They are a real threat in the Arctic, one against we need to protect, which is why we have 364 five-day air, sea, and land presence. No, he just said nothing. Is our Russia and China threat? He then says Russia is a threat. Russia is a threat. He acknowledged it. As if Canada is going to do anything. Do you think Canada is going to do anything as Russia keeps encroaching on the Arctic, right?

55:12So we wouldn't want Russian bases on Greenland. We wouldn't want Chinese bases. So it's word salad in that it doesn't mean anything. So you're acknowledging reality, and I will give you credit for that, but that's why we've got people patrolling and everything else. Yes, like the Mounties are going to do anything. They're not, and that's not a shot to the Canadian people. Again, it's the way your military is set up, certainly the way your leadership is set up. It's like America, if anyone's going to stop Russia from taking over Greenland, right? Or if anyone's going to stop Russia and China from taking over Venezuela?

55:45Is it going to be Canada? My God, the Canadians are here. Here's Trump on Greenland. It's located in such a place that is literally so important for national security. When you come to Russia, when you come to China, a lot of Chinese boats, a lot of Russian, you know, ships, military ships. It's in a location that is very important for our national security and also for the international security of the world, literally. We're building a golden dome and having Greenland makes it a much more effective golden dome. All right, before I even comment on that, let me throw in one more of Trump trying to explain why we would want Greenland and why sort of Denmark in some sense is irrelevant in the conversation.

56:32In 2019, Denmark said that they would spend over$200 million to strengthen Greenland's defenses. But as you know, they spent less than 1 % of that amount. 1%. There's no sign of Denmark there. And I say that with great respect for Denmark, whose people I love, whose leaders are very good. It's the United States alone that can protect this giant mass of land, this giant piece of ice, develop it and improve it and make it so that it's good for Europe and safe for Europe and good for us. After the war, we gave Greenland back to Denmark. How stupid were we to do that? But we did it. But we gave it back.

57:20But how ungrateful are they now? All right. Even putting aside ungrateful, the point is that Denmark hasn't done much with Greenland. One percent of what they promised to put in, you know, why in essence, other than they planted a flag there after the war. Do they operate in Greenland and they barely operate there at all? We'll just throw a map up for just a second because maybe we should show a little more of this in general. But you can see, look, you see what's kind of below Greenland. First off, Greenland's massive. It's absolutely massive. But do you see what's below it right there? That's Canada.

57:52So if, and if you go across the ocean over there, Denmark is, Denmark even, yeah, Denmark's visible there. Denmark's a very, very small country. So Denmark is very, very small, you know, a basic Nordic country there. You've got Norway and Sweden. Those countries don't do much outside of their borders. Somehow Denmark is in charge of Greenland. But look, Greenland is in our part of the world. And if Russia, which is a little off the map there, but you'd have to go past Sweden over there. If Russia and China started encroaching more and more, and as Trump said, there are ships and soldiers, et cetera, and they started encroaching a little bit more and more, who do you think that would be bad for first?

58:27It would be bad for Canada first. So when Carney sits there and he's like, like, yeah, Russia's a threat, but we've got patrol boats. It's like, it doesn't matter. You're not going to do anything. So you might wanna be a little bit grateful. Here's Trump with a bit more on this, on how an acquisition of Greenland not only could potentially benefit the people, but how it would reflect on a future of NATO. The consequence of your determination to take control of Greenland is the ultimate breakup of the NATO alliance. Is that a price you're willing to pay? You mean the breakup of... It's very interesting.

59:00So I think something's gonna happen that's gonna be very good for everybody. Something's gonna get worked out in Greenland, but Greenlanders have made it clear they don't wanna be part of the US. What gives the US the right to take away that self-determination? When I speak to them, I'm sure they'll be thrilled. All right, first off, I don't know where she came up with that. There's a lot of evidence that Greenlanders really like the idea of being part of America and also many of them. There's not how many people are in Greenland. It's a very small amount of people. It's like 100 ,000 or something.

59:28It's not many at all. 57 ,000. 57 ,000. Like if America comes in and takes over and we're not gonna do it through military force, everyone calm down. Like they're gonna get some cash too. Like they're gonna feel pretty, pretty good. We're 57 ,000 people. That's number one. The earlier question, which was about NATO, it's like NATO, I'm not for or against NATO. Like the idea of NATO is good that a bunch of hopefully good Western nations could all ally and that if a bad guy attacks one, that everyone is in on it. But we, you know, in on the defense of that nation. but we know that's not really how it works because the United States foots most of the bill.

1:00:02That's changed in some sense because of Trump. But we also know that no one's gonna do jack shit for anybody except the United States. Look what's happening in Iran right now. I mean, the internet is still off. There's still a hell of a lot of killing. We haven't even shown, we haven't even discussed it in the last day or two. But it's only because if America doesn't do anything, no one's gonna do anything. You think the Canadians are gonna send some people to help the Iranians? Do you think the French are gonna send some people or anyone else? No. So they could say, oh, we love NATO. We love international agreements.

1:00:28We love all of these things. And Russia's encroaching, but I've got a boat because I'm Canadian. No, none of it means anything. It's America or bust, whether you like it or not. And that's something for us as Americans to grapple with. It just is the reality. It doesn't mean everything that we do is good or positive or works out, but it does mean that if we don't do anything, it most likely gets worse. Here's Scott Besson telling Kristen Walker that we have to get Greenland because there are some problems. I just want to ask you big picture. Is this a negotiating tactic, Mr. Secretary, or is President Trump serious about annexing Greenland?

1:01:06President Trump strongly believes that we cannot outsource our security because, Kristen, let me tell you what will happen, and it might not be next year, might not be in five years, but down the road, this fight for the Arctic is real. We would keep our NATO guarantees, and if there were an attack on Greenland, from Russia, from some other area, we would get dragged in. So better now, peace through strength, make it part of the United States, and there will not be a conflict. Connor just pointed out to me that the population of Flagstaff, Arizona, to where I've been and enjoyed the people, is larger than the entire country of Greenland, okay?

1:01:50I'll address what he said there, but just again, so put up the map and I'll address it. So what he's basically saying is, and this is, again, completely consistent with what Trump laid out with the new Trump's, you know, addendum to the Monroe Doctrine is we are taking care of our part of the world. Does it make sense that a tiny little country, Denmark over there, is basically the custodian of this giant landmass called Greenland with 57 ,000 people where we know the Russians and Chinese want to take root in, right? Or does it make more sense that we, as the superpower of the world, would have a little more vested interest in it?

1:02:26And again, what's right beneath it, it's Canada. And I'm sorry, with your little boats and all of your things, you're not going to stop the bad guys. So Besson is completely right. If China and Russia just start putting more bases there, whatever they might start doing is affecting trade routes, et cetera, et cetera. And let's say it's five years from now and they've, you know, they've beefed up their presence over there. Canada isn't going to do anything about it. So we're trying to nip this in the bud right now. Here's a bit more about from what's going on from Donald Trump. I had a very good telephone call with Mark Rutt, the Secretary General of NATO, concerning Greenland.

1:03:01I agreed to a meeting of the various parties in Davos, Switzerland. As I expressed to everyone very plainly, Greenland is imperative for national and world security. There can be no going back. On that, everyone agrees. The United States of America is the most powerful country anywhere on the globe by far. Much of the reason for this is a rebuilding of our military during my first term, which rebuilding continues at an even more expedited pace. We're the only power that can ensure peace throughout the world, and it is done quite simply through strength. Like, yeah, yeah, it's just true. It's just true.

1:03:36Here's Dan Bongino, who I cannot wait in about 10 days is making his return to the online space after serving his country for the last year. He wrote, President Trump's hemispheric security strategy is geopolitical common sense. I've seen the threat picture and it's ominous. We cannot, in an age of both advanced tactical and digital threats, allow sworn enemies of the United States to set up playgrounds in our backyard. It will not end up well if we do. This isn't the roaring 20s anymore. Although the economy is roaring, the threats are expanding too, and distance buys us time. That evaporates in our own backyard.

1:04:14This should not be a partisan issue. God bless America and all those who defend her. Well, all right. First off, the fact that he's talking about having seen the threats and just sort of anecdotally, again, you just kind of know it. You're living your life in your house with your family and your yard and three houses over is just utter chaos and it's a drug den and bad people are showing up and there are gangbangers and everything else. It's eventually going to be a problem for you. So Besant is saying, we are trying to nip it in the bud now. Bongino is saying, hey, this isn't the old world anymore.

1:04:51Like threats have changed. There is something different in the world and America, and again, it's completely consistent with what Trump laid out in this new updated Trump-Monroe doctrine. All right, one more clip for you that I thought ties all of this together. Is there a difference between Donald Trump 47 and Donald Trump 45? And is there, and I would say even more broadly than that, Is there a difference between the America that exists right now under 47 versus pretty much every administration before it? Is there a difference? I think the answer is obviously yes. And is there a reason for that?

1:05:26Well, listen to Trump. Thank you very much. First of all, last year you told me that you believe that the reason you won an election is because God put you in this place so that you could save the world. Looking back one year, do you feel like God is proud of the effort that you've put in? I do, actually. I think God is very proud of the job I've done. And that includes for religion. You know, we're protecting a lot of people that are being killed, Christians, Jewish people. And lots of people are being protected by me that wouldn't be protected by another type of president. No, I think a lot of people are very proud of the job we've done.

1:06:03We've had an amazing year. This has been one of the greatest years. Even some people that wouldn't necessarily love me instinctively, they're saying this was an incredible year. We've had an incredible year economically. Look at our border. Our border was a disaster. People poured. It was an invasion into our country. All right. So look, I can't speak to whether God's proud of Donald Trump. I suspect he is, actually. But, you know, remember the end of last year? It's not too long ago, only the last two months or so ago, there was a serious narrative problem happening that I kept talking about that everyone kept saying, well, the economy's sucking and he's focusing too much on foreign affairs and dah, dah, dah, dah, dah.

1:06:40And it was like, well, we gotta just wait because we're rolling into our 250th anniversary. There's gonna be a resurgence of patriotism. Let's see what happens with the big, beautiful bill. Let's see what happens with inflation, which was really going down. And maybe now interest rates will start coming down. I think most people, even the most Trump deranged people are making, and you can hear it even a little bit on The View, they weren't that upset about some of the Venezuela stuff, right? Anna Navarro, complete Trump derangement maniac, but she's Latina, Cuban. There's an association in that part of the world with Venezuela.

1:07:16She was coming around a little bit. And what I think really, and this will be the key to saving the country before these midterms. If the economy keeps rolling, if the foreign affairs stuff just calms down, which it is. Now, Iran is still a big one out there because they're still killing their own people. And what do we do about that, if anything? But if everything internally keeps going well, then the midterms will not be a disaster. And the goodness that we, imagine Trump totally unleashed in a final term, having won the midterms and not having anything to worry about. Do you think he would become an evil authoritarian leader who will stamp down on, or do you think he would just go all in on saving America and the world?

1:08:00I'm pretty sure it would be that one. That is our program for today. I thank you for watching. We've got a post-game show at reubenreport.locals.com in 27 seconds. Goodbye.
