Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec - THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 69 — The Gulf of America？ Greenland Joining the USA？ DEI Firefighters？

00:00:00.000 From the age of Big Brother.

00:00:02.600 If they want to get you, they'll get you.

00:00:04.980 DNSA specifically targets the communications of everyone.

00:00:08.920 They're collecting your communications.

00:00:18.780 Okay, everybody, happy Thought Crime Thursday.

00:00:21.540 We have so much to cover, and we have the panel with us.

00:00:25.400 Let me see who I have.

00:00:26.260 I think I have Jack, Blake, and Tyler.

00:00:29.240 Am I right?

00:00:30.640 What's up, guys?

00:00:31.440 Charlie, how are you doing?

00:00:33.340 I guess without even seeing.

00:00:35.200 I've got to tell you, I'm getting better at this.

00:00:37.480 I don't even know who I have.

00:00:38.420 The reason I knew that Andrew wasn't on is I just got off the phone with him,

00:00:40.720 so I was like, very unlikely.

00:00:42.480 So, Jack, why don't we start with this?

00:00:44.400 Jack pitched to the – we're doing two Thought Crimes this week.

00:00:47.980 On Monday, Jack said, hey, why don't we do a Thought Crime on Greenland?

00:00:51.840 I said, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:00:52.840 That'll be later in the week.

00:00:55.800 Jack, open us up with our Manifest Destiny topic.

00:01:00.460 Yeah, so Charlie, yeah, we bring it up, and I was like, oh, you know – and it had been sort of kicking around.

00:01:04.980 Keep in mind, so folks understand the timeline here, this was before President Trump's press conference.

00:01:09.800 And so when he went, like, all in on it, and we're all sitting around going like, hey, you know, what topics do we want to get to?

00:01:16.360 Because there's always a few things we talked to – we ended up talking about the gaycation instead on the last episode. 0.60

00:01:21.700 And then I was like, oh, yeah, the whole American expansionism, Fortress America, the new theory, it's been – you know, President Trump's been talking about it.

00:01:28.980 The media's really into it.

00:01:30.360 Let's get to it.

00:01:30.980 And Charlie's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't talk about it then.

00:01:34.460 We'll talk about it later.

00:01:35.380 I'm like, well, why?

00:01:35.980 He's like, trust me, we'll talk about it later.

00:01:39.100 It was so great because the time where – I'm a producer on Charlie's radio show,

00:01:44.140 and I learned that Charlie was going to Greenland when he sent us the photo of him in Greenland.

00:01:49.460 And I believe that's when Andrew learned about it.

00:01:52.140 I believe that's when everyone learned about it.

00:01:53.640 So Charlie just went and he just absconded on us, and then they were like, Andrew, you're hosting the show.

00:01:58.480 It was a lot of fun.

00:01:59.520 It was very entertaining.

00:02:00.920 Hey, to my credit, though, I was sworn to secrecy.

00:02:04.980 I could have leaked it and all that.

00:02:06.240 It drives me nuts when people do that.

00:02:08.220 So you guys understand.

00:02:09.620 You've got to take that stuff seriously.

00:02:11.140 It's nothing personal.

00:02:12.120 You just – you know, it's – there's a lot going into this stuff,

00:02:15.720 and you tell three people who then tell ten people,

00:02:18.160 and the next thing you know, the New York Times is calling you.

00:02:19.920 So there's some footage of me in Greenland.

00:02:22.660 It was really remarkable.

00:02:24.200 I've got to be honest.

00:02:24.900 First of all, this is kind of an unfair question.

00:02:30.000 Has anyone here been to Greenland?

00:02:31.500 Jack actually might have been to Greenland because of his time in the Navy.

00:02:35.700 Jack, have you or no?

00:02:36.560 I've been to Alaska, and I've been all the way up in the north of Alaska,

00:02:41.460 along the Arctic Circle, but no, I've not been to Greenland.

00:02:44.820 I've been to Iceland.

00:02:46.000 So it is objectively one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

00:02:51.100 It reminds me of, like, deep interior Alaska, like untouched, wild,

00:02:56.680 where you come in contact with God's creation with no filter,

00:03:01.520 a place where there is a town,

00:03:04.400 and then there's no connection to modernity from that point forward.

00:03:07.720 I mean, there's polar bears that just walk through downtown Nook,

00:03:11.080 which is the largest town in Greenland.

00:03:13.780 That is a great word for it.

00:03:15.220 It is a frontier country, territory.

00:03:19.760 We'll get into all the details there.

00:03:22.120 So just kind of some backstory.

00:03:23.980 Don Jr. called me up, and he said,

00:03:25.440 hey, do you want to pop on Trump Force One and fly with me to Greenland?

00:03:30.100 I'm like, yeah, I'll do that.

00:03:32.100 Yeah, so we took off at 2 a.m., local standard time in Palm Beach.

00:03:36.780 I did one of the things I hate most, which is to fly a red-eye flight.

00:03:39.860 Pretty easy to fly a red-eye flight on Trump Force One, might I add, though.

00:03:42.740 So landed in Greenland as the sun was rising at 11 a.m. local time.

00:03:50.040 Got off the plane.

00:03:50.920 We were greeted by hundreds of people in MAGA hats.

00:03:54.000 We went to some of their sacred sites.

00:03:55.700 We went to the top of this hill and took those pictures as the sun was rising.

00:03:58.680 We had an amazing meal with a bunch of local Greenlanders.

00:04:02.820 We went to the local cultural museum and ended the day at one of their top

00:04:07.360 kind of bar, hangout, cheers, if you will, restaurants.

00:04:11.460 I learned a lot.

00:04:11.980 Number one, the people of Greenland, they hate, hate the Danes.

00:04:17.900 They hate Denmark.

00:04:19.040 They say that they are mistreated by Denmark.

00:04:21.320 They say that Denmark has lied to them and has really abused them.

00:04:27.720 Number two, there is so much untapped potential in Greenland.

00:04:31.960 There was a young man that came up to me and he said, Charlie, I follow you on TikTok.

00:04:35.960 Let me show you this picture.

00:04:37.500 And it was a picture of him.

00:04:38.660 He said, in my local village, we find these all the time.

00:04:41.220 They are rubies the size of baseballs, guys.

00:04:44.300 I mean, there is the nickel, the aluminum, the lithium, the rubies, the gold, the natural

00:04:51.780 resources.

00:04:52.280 I mean, it is one of the most abundant natural resource banks or reservoirs, whatever I want

00:04:58.480 to say, on the planet.

00:04:59.880 And the final thing is this, is they love America.

00:05:03.140 They are the power of American culture.

00:05:10.460 MAGA is a worldwide movement.

00:05:12.460 It is transcending borders, largely thanks to social media.

00:05:16.520 So it was a wonderful time in nuke.

00:05:18.980 That is how you say it, not nuke.

00:05:20.180 It is nuke.

00:05:21.240 And honored to have been included in something that very well might have made history.

00:05:24.580 It wasn't a government trip.

00:05:25.920 We didn't meet with government officials.

00:05:27.460 We came as tourists, come to just learn, report back to the people of America of what

00:05:32.700 we saw and heard.

00:05:33.440 Honored to be included.

00:05:34.200 And I would welcome your guys' thoughts.

00:05:35.860 Well, you know, that's not the only, it's not the only nuke in, in Greenland, of course,

00:05:42.780 something that, you know, a lot of people don't realize that during the Cold War, that's,

00:05:46.780 this actually was the forward, one of the forward strategic bases for US WMDs regarding

00:05:52.520 the Soviet, the threat of the Soviet Union.

00:05:54.600 And really that in any type of strategic intercontinental ballistic missile exchange

00:05:59.120 between the US and Russia or the US and China, it would most, most likely be over the top.

00:06:06.200 See, people have this view.

00:06:07.760 We're so used to, and this is where like, I got, I totally went like full schizo Navy 0.99

00:06:13.820 officer, like on, on the show this week.

00:06:16.620 And I had like all the charts out.

00:06:18.000 I was explaining, I'm like, we live on a globe.

00:06:21.360 People need to stop thinking in two dimensions.

00:06:23.840 Yeah, there's the map.

00:06:25.040 Like, like all of this stuff goes over the top.

00:06:27.460 It is so shorter to travel those distances, the maritime routes.

00:06:31.720 This was the whole reason, by the way, for the endless search for the Northwest Passage,

00:06:36.040 which potentially might be opening up due to advances in icebreaker technology, which

00:06:40.600 of course the US is totally lagging behind China and Russia in, and new routes that may

00:06:47.380 be opening up in Labrador Sea and others, which by the way, would take maritime shipping

00:06:52.080 in a completely new direction where, guess what?

00:06:54.760 The Suez Canal and the Houthis and the Straits of Malacca and all the nonsense might be completely 0.99

00:06:59.600 obsolete within the next 10 to 15 years.

00:07:02.020 Not to mention the baseball-sized rubies and all the other natural resources up there.

00:07:09.160 So, I mean, it's, it's pretty clear that over the next century, the rates for the Arctic

00:07:13.240 is going to be absolutely massive.

00:07:15.480 And it's just incredible that President Trump is, is focusing on it the way that he has.

00:07:19.720 And of course, we, you know, the United States has maintained military presence there since,

00:07:23.240 since World War II.

00:07:25.660 So, this is something I discovered.

00:07:28.260 Like, so, obviously, as you mentioned, the big US base in far northern Greenland, we call

00:07:33.820 it Thule Air Force Base, because that's like the old...

00:07:36.760 Excuse me, it is Thule Air Force Base.

00:07:38.300 Yeah, it is Thule. 0.98

00:07:38.780 The Biden administration renamed it to something stupid because they wanted to like, I think 0.82

00:07:45.080 it was like the local indigenous people's name for the area, which, okay, they can call 0.97

00:07:49.580 it whatever they want.

00:07:50.760 We call it Thule because Ultima Thule is, you know, a cool ancient Greek concept for the

00:07:56.280 ultra far north.

00:07:57.300 So, that's one of the many bases we should probably change the name back to, which this

00:08:02.060 ties into, we were, when we were talking about topics, obviously we want to talk about

00:08:05.200 Greenland, but President Trump, he's, he's sort of creating this conversation about all

00:08:09.280 sorts of foreign policy stuff, both actual expansionism and like, I don't know, rhetorical

00:08:17.360 offensive.

00:08:18.100 So, he was saying we should, we should rename the Gulf of Mexico.

00:08:20.840 Should we rename the Gulf of Mexico, guys?

00:08:23.920 Yes.

00:08:25.040 Gulf of America.

00:08:26.280 I've known about that one for quite a while and I haven't leaked that one either.

00:08:29.280 So, proud of myself.

00:08:30.040 It turns out that one, I think one of the first, I was looking at this last year and

00:08:34.100 my, one of the first posts I was able to find of that was from my brother, like all the way

00:08:38.680 back in like April of 2024 and he was out on a wave runner and he was like, he was like

00:08:45.380 just cruising the Gulf of America, it's new name come 2025.

00:08:49.300 And I was like, did you, I was like, Kevin, did somebody like tip you off?

00:08:52.820 He's like, no, I just, I just thought that it should be called.

00:08:54.880 Well, and it makes perfect sense too, because I mean, realistically, most of the Gulf is 0.87

00:09:02.300 completely dependent, it's, it's, it's either United States border or completely dependent

00:09:06.700 on the United States for everything.

00:09:08.880 Well, if, if we are going to name things because they're dependent on the U S we should rename

00:09:14.500 Europe America.

00:09:15.860 Well, I mean, I'll, I'll just say this.

00:09:18.020 This is why I, I went on a rampage talking about how Baja California needs to be 100%

00:09:24.260 within our control.

00:09:25.400 I, and everybody's up in arms cause they're like, well, we don't want to make it a state,

00:09:28.520 but it's, you know, the Baja California has like literally outside of the border towns

00:09:35.060 has no populations like Greenland.

00:09:36.820 Yeah.

00:09:36.960 It's, it's a big bummer actually.

00:09:38.260 Cause I was reading about this.

00:09:39.500 So in the Mexican war, we actually Polk wanted to take all of Baja California or like all of

00:09:45.480 California cause there's Alto and Baja and then he wanted like Chihuahuas or he wanted

00:09:49.300 like the States that are South of Arizona bordering us.

00:09:52.700 And at the time those places were entirely empty.

00:09:56.260 So they could have just been, you know, settled by Americans.

00:09:59.480 They would have been great.

00:10:00.420 And I guess it might've been a downer for Phoenix that whatever Phoenix is equivalent

00:10:03.920 would probably be down in Chihuahua or something.

00:10:07.300 But no, I mean, no, there's only two cities.

00:10:10.240 It's Tijuana and Mexicali.

00:10:11.940 Well, wait, wait, this goes back to the Gulf.

00:10:13.960 The Gulf, the Mexico deserves nothing.

00:10:17.080 This is my question for you though, that cause we talked about this prior to, I know we talked

00:10:21.960 about this on a prior episode of talking about Arizona.

00:10:24.180 And since you're Mr. Arizona, I got to ask, wasn't there, I'm not looking it up.

00:10:28.620 I don't even know what's in front of me, but wasn't at the end, like you're talking about

00:10:32.960 the Mexican war, U S Mexican war that Arizona was originally supposed to get coastline.

00:10:38.840 It was supposed to connect all the way down there.

00:10:40.940 And then for some reason we just, we just didn't take it.

00:10:44.960 So the whole problem with like state department diplomats who just, as it were, cuck out, literally

00:10:52.280 what happened is the diplomat we sent to negotiate in Mexico was opposed to the war and didn't

00:10:58.760 want to take more Mexico. 0.97

00:11:00.260 So he just, he sided with the Mexicans and was like, I'm giving you a way better deal. 0.94

00:11:04.020 It's the very end of Polk, uh, president Polk's term.

00:11:06.700 So he's just like, I want it done.

00:11:08.260 Let's get out.

00:11:09.040 And he didn't fight it.

00:11:09.880 All they did was minimize.

00:11:10.960 So they minimize themselves, the U S border to where they wanted to put the train.

00:11:15.860 Yeah.

00:11:16.200 So, and then we still had to buy it.

00:11:17.520 We had to buy Gadsden later.

00:11:18.880 Well, that's what, that's what I mean.

00:11:20.040 So we're Gadsden.

00:11:21.120 So the first, so the first treaty at the end of Polk, they gave away Baja, California,

00:11:26.000 but then even in the Gadsden purchase, all they cared about was just getting the train

00:11:31.460 done.

00:11:32.420 Just getting the train done.

00:11:33.800 It actually is sort of heartbreaking.

00:11:35.360 Cause when you think about it, zoom out at a big level, how much better would it be for

00:11:40.500 the world?

00:11:40.960 Just if those territories were in an awesome country like America, instead of the most

00:11:45.820 permanently dysfunctional country on earth, Mexico, which who's like sheer amount of mess 1.00

00:11:51.620 that it is, is only made worse by the fact that they have the biggest advantage of country

00:11:55.880 could possibly have, which is sharing a border with America.

00:11:59.220 Well, so Blake, so, so here's, let's, let's zoom out a little bit because I've been getting

00:12:04.580 people and I've seen this, the chatter online.

00:12:06.640 I'm sure we all have.

00:12:07.820 They're saying, wait a minute, you guys were America first five minutes ago.

00:12:11.860 And now all of a sudden you're talking about territorial acquisition and you're talking

00:12:15.940 about Greenland and the Greenland is going to be part of America.

00:12:18.440 So of course I'm America.

00:12:19.620 And we have it right, right.

00:12:20.640 But, but no, I wanted, obviously, but what I wanted Blake to do, if we should zoom out here

00:12:24.800 for a second is none of us view any inherent contradictions between those.

00:12:30.420 So what's the difference between, and this is really a question for Blake, I guess, what's

00:12:34.180 the difference between, it's a thoughtful question, America first versus like neoconservatism?

00:12:41.700 Well, I think actually a genuinely valid thing is, so first of all, neoconservatism always

00:12:48.360 wants us to get involved in places that like truly are not our business and also have a

00:12:54.340 lot of baggage that comes into play as soon as you decide to stick yourself in.

00:12:58.400 So, oh yeah.

00:12:59.360 Oh, it'll be easy to knock out Saddam and, you know, we'll just fix it. 0.99

00:13:02.500 When Iraq is literally had, has had written history for 5,000 years at this point and all 0.78

00:13:08.280 these tribes that all hate each other. 0.67

00:13:09.740 And infamously we went in and Bush didn't know there were Sunnis and Shias as separate

00:13:13.740 things when we invaded Iraq.

00:13:16.740 Greenland, let's be real, Greenland has 50,000 people.

00:13:19.580 It has fewer people, it has half the population of like Tempe.

00:13:24.380 And so it's not a lot of people.

00:13:27.100 We literally like, if you wanted to, we could literally just like put every single person

00:13:30.980 who lives in Greenland on like welfare for the rest of their lives and it would not be 0.95

00:13:34.320 the end of the world.

00:13:34.900 We have plenty of people on welfare already.

00:13:36.740 Well, we did that with some places there.

00:13:38.700 Yeah, yeah.

00:13:39.260 And we already do that with effectively Denmark by paying for their national defense.

00:13:42.740 And so like it is a place that is hugely potentially useful to us, but it doesn't require sticking

00:13:50.380 ourselves in something that actually has an ancient history and a lot of like grievance

00:13:54.560 based, you know, that would have valid grievances if we were to administer it.

00:13:58.660 It's just not like that.

00:13:59.740 It actually is a largely empty place that we could unlock the potential of.

00:14:03.980 And Denmark doesn't want to unlock the potential of it.

00:14:06.780 I'm going to make it super clear and kick back to Charlie because we've hijacked this away

00:14:10.720 from Charlie for too long here, but we'll kick back to Charlie.

00:14:13.220 No, I think this is the greatest.

00:14:14.500 I'm enjoying this.

00:14:15.640 We went into Iraq and Afghanistan, got nothing out of it.

00:14:22.440 Anti, anti anything out of it.

00:14:24.740 We spent billions on fire.

00:14:27.140 No, but got nothing out of it.

00:14:28.800 We're talking about, it's not even nearly the same thing.

00:14:31.160 We're talking about going into and really via treaty.

00:14:35.020 Not this, this wouldn't happen over, right?

00:14:37.520 We have so many pressures that we can put on Mexico, for example, to change names of

00:14:41.460 things and to get more land out of Baja, California, to get Greenland and, and all that, especially

00:14:46.260 what Charlie just mentioned.

00:14:46.980 You mean Baja America?

00:14:48.800 Most of these people.

00:14:49.960 Yeah.

00:14:50.160 Baja, California.

00:14:51.260 Baja.

00:14:51.600 I think we should call it Arizona.

00:14:53.280 We'll call it Baja.

00:14:54.140 We have to rename California.

00:14:55.720 You guys were, I want to, I wanted to say, I want to rename the Gulf of California, the Gulf

00:14:59.580 of Arizona, but that's a whole different thing.

00:15:01.280 We should think about that because you know where California's name comes from?

00:15:04.540 It comes from like the word caliph.

00:15:06.380 So it's literally like a Muslim name for California.

00:15:07.620 Yeah, caliphate. 0.57

00:15:08.320 It's like the caliph.

00:15:09.340 Yeah, yeah.

00:15:09.960 Is that right?

00:15:10.780 I did not know that.

00:15:11.640 Yeah, it's true.

00:15:12.380 That's fascinating.

00:15:13.580 The word admiral is also an Arabic word like admiral.

00:15:18.520 But yeah, it goes through like, it was from, because remember prior to expanding to the United

00:15:25.620 States, who was, who were, who was the Spanish empire mainly fighting?

00:15:29.320 They were fighting the Moors. 0.82

00:15:30.160 They were fighting North Africa.

00:15:32.480 So, you know, the, the caliph was someone that was always their, their like enemy.

00:15:37.320 So this was something they constantly were talking about.

00:15:39.400 Well, and so, I mean, we should get something out of this, right?

00:15:42.680 We should get, I mean, they're already dependent.

00:15:44.480 Most of the people probably in Baja California want to be Americans.

00:15:47.680 I mean, Tijuana, Mexicali are completely, they're, they're extensions of San Diego and

00:15:54.160 extensions of, you know, just right over the border.

00:15:57.040 Mexicali I think is right next to a Blythe that's over there. 0.98

00:16:00.160 It's like not far at all and, and Yuma.

00:16:02.820 And so it's like, why don't we just, why don't we just have this and actually take monetary

00:16:08.040 advantage of this and monetize the entire place?

00:16:11.460 You know, we'll probably ease off California.

00:16:14.120 California will become less blue.

00:16:15.940 You know, we don't even have to make it a state.

00:16:17.440 Don't make it a state, make it a territory.

00:16:19.260 Or we could make it a state, an un-state California.

00:16:22.820 Okay.

00:16:23.740 Break up California.

00:16:25.000 Break up.

00:16:26.440 I would say, I would say break.

00:16:27.520 California feels like four states.

00:16:29.240 There's, there's no way that you should be able to fly in a plane for that many hours

00:16:33.100 and then land in the same state.

00:16:34.560 I'm sorry.

00:16:35.200 No, it's just wrong.

00:16:36.640 Well, interestingly enough, Baja California is two states.

00:16:39.280 So you have Baja California and then sewer Baja California, or Baja California sewer.

00:16:44.100 So, I mean, yeah, I mean, that, that does open the door, I think, to break up California.

00:16:50.060 Yeah.

00:16:51.260 So while we're talking about the various things, so Trump has talked about renaming the Gulf.

00:16:55.720 He's talked about taking the Panama Canal zone back.

00:16:59.660 He's talked about taking Greenland.

00:17:01.680 He's also talked about annexing Canada.

00:17:03.580 And I do think, maybe this is, this is cocky of me.

00:17:07.240 I think I've got a job of wine.

00:17:08.280 I'm not on board for that one yet.

00:17:09.300 I do not want to absorb Canada. 0.92

00:17:12.020 Wait, no, but you don't, that's not a cocky reason.

00:17:13.980 Maybe Alberta.

00:17:14.720 The reason is because it's, it's the, it's, Charlie, it's the debt to earnings ratio is

00:17:18.920 just not there for Canada.

00:17:20.060 I'm sorry.

00:17:20.420 It's not there, man.

00:17:21.640 Like, the, it, the baggage is too high.

00:17:24.360 Like, you know, yeah, Alberta, natural resources, the Yukon, we can certainly make all of those

00:17:28.920 conversations as well as defense of the Arctic, military, you know, military

00:17:33.520 usage and, and all of those passage rights, which obviously, like, like Canada is like

00:17:37.740 the, it's like the Belarus of America.

00:17:39.840 All right.

00:17:40.340 Like, we are going to use our military up there however we see fit.

00:17:43.900 And, um, no, I can say that because I'm married to one.

00:17:46.760 Um, and, uh, and, uh, and it, look, it's, it's basically like, yeah, we're going to get

00:17:52.980 the resources and Pierre with, you know, eating his little apple, like, sure, fine.

00:17:57.360 Like, you could be in charge now, but, um, you know, you're going to be in charge of

00:18:00.840 like, like, look at the population of Canada.

00:18:02.800 Have you ever looked at a population density map of them?

00:18:04.940 It's like all of the Canadians are hugging the U.S. border as closely as they possibly

00:18:09.620 can.

00:18:09.840 Like, there's massive swaths of just, the same as like Charlie was talking about in

00:18:13.640 Greenland.

00:18:14.000 There's massive swaths of territory that are completely unused until they will be used

00:18:18.020 by us.

00:18:19.720 That would, maybe that's the way you go about it.

00:18:21.820 Just try to take.

00:18:24.980 No, no, please continue, Blake.

00:18:26.120 I was like, if we could take Yukon, take the Northwest Territory, take like Nunavut and

00:18:32.000 then take Greenland and you could just like fold it into Alaska and make this like extremely

00:18:37.280 sweeping epic, call it like Northlandia or something or cool, whatever you want.

00:18:43.520 Think about how huge it would be and how cool it would be.

00:18:47.220 And that, that's another thing where we misfired.

00:18:49.340 After World War II, we owned all those islands in the Pacific.

00:18:53.200 Like, we kicked out the Japanese, all the other colonial powers. 1.00

00:18:55.780 We owned like Palau, Marshall Islands.

00:18:57.540 Those were all just held by the U.S.

00:18:58.680 Well, we had the Philippines after the Spanish-American.

00:19:00.660 And we had the Philippines.

00:19:01.700 Whether we give away the Philippines or not, that's its own dramatic thing.

00:19:04.100 But all those Pacific islands, we should have, like, I think even now all their citizens

00:19:08.020 can just come to America and be citizens if they want.

00:19:10.200 They're basically fake countries in a lot of ways.

00:19:12.460 I think their main purpose is...

00:19:14.180 The Chamorros are U.S. citizens.

00:19:16.160 The main purpose of a lot of those islands is so that we have other countries to vote

00:19:19.920 with us on Taiwan stuff and on Israel stuff in the U.N.

00:19:23.100 It's great.

00:19:24.000 But other than that, like, we should have really just kept them, merge it with Guam,

00:19:27.540 merge it with the Marianas, and have like a Pacifica state.

00:19:30.700 How cool would it be if the U.S. had Pacifica state just spanning the entire Pacific Ocean

00:19:34.840 and they had Northlandia spanning the north?

00:19:38.200 It would be amazing.

00:19:39.520 We would be the biggest country in the world.

00:19:40.960 We'd be way more cool than everyone else.

00:19:43.980 Wait, wait, wait, Blake.

00:19:45.060 But remember, when you give an area statehood, they get two senators and a governor.

00:19:50.420 So, no, I'm not interested in giving all of these places statehood.

00:19:54.580 Greenland, yes, of course.

00:19:56.000 But all of them, I don't know.

00:19:57.280 And keep in mind, like, you know, Charlie and Tyler, you know,

00:20:00.360 who's the next Greenland Murkowski going to be?

00:20:03.460 You know, I mean, there's still...

00:20:05.920 Just because it's a, you know, it's a hardy area, which I think we all realize would probably...

00:20:10.500 We all sort of get, would generally be conservative.

00:20:13.100 I don't know that necessarily means that we get the best representatives out there.

00:20:16.600 Well, Charlie can comment on this.

00:20:17.960 The people there, it's overwhelmingly Inuit, Eskimo, right?

00:20:23.060 It's like 95%.

00:20:23.860 Yeah, that's correct.

00:20:24.320 So, it's 85%, 85% Inuit and then 15% Dane of just people that have come over

00:20:30.360 and they help run businesses or whatever.

00:20:32.340 Now, it's an amazing thing.

00:20:33.540 So, we went to the Cultural Museum, which I wish I could have spent more time.

00:20:36.940 It was really well set up.

00:20:38.120 And they have these drawings of the people of Greenland that were there, like, 800 years ago.

00:20:45.520 And it makes you think, like, these people survived a negative 10-degree weather

00:20:49.480 with insanely harsh winds and a very unforgiving climate, like, 800 years ago.

00:20:55.700 I mean, these are tough, tough people.

00:20:57.760 And I know that's not the only culture like that.

00:21:00.480 Alaska has something similar.

00:21:01.980 Northern Canada has something similar.

00:21:03.560 Siberia has something similar.

00:21:04.760 But it was just really amazing.

00:21:06.700 I got a little insight into how tough the people of Greenland actually are.

00:21:12.160 And I did try the local cuisine.

00:21:15.000 I had whale.

00:21:16.920 Wow.

00:21:17.560 And seal.

00:21:19.780 Was whale good?

00:21:20.620 I've heard whale was a baby seal.

00:21:22.180 Did you club it to death?

00:21:24.300 That's a Canada thing.

00:21:25.660 No, I did not actually.

00:21:26.860 Oh.

00:21:27.820 I did not kill any of the animals that I ate.

00:21:30.020 We didn't have time.

00:21:31.620 It was.

00:21:31.920 However, whale, someone says, what does whale taste like?

00:21:36.140 It's, like, really chewy steak.

00:21:38.780 That's what it tastes like.

00:21:40.260 So Don Jr., who's an unbelievable outdoorsman, like, legit.

00:21:44.140 Like, no, like, no, no.

00:21:46.080 He's, he said, this whale in Greenland was, yeah, he said the whale that he had in Greenland

00:21:52.800 was way better than the whale that he had in Alaska.

00:21:54.920 So for whatever that's worth, the whale in Greenland is quite good.

00:21:58.980 So we tried all the, all the local fare and was really kind of impressed by the, the people

00:22:08.500 of Greenland.

00:22:09.100 I will also say, though, I mean, this is just a side note.

00:22:11.620 You think about how far does social media reach?

00:22:14.660 There were young people coming up, hundreds of them, asking for selfies from Don and I

00:22:21.320 saying, we follow you on TikTok.

00:22:23.580 We follow you on TikTok.

00:22:24.680 I mean, it's a, it is a worldwide phenomenon, guys.

00:22:28.880 So let me ask a question, Blake, Jack, and Tyler.

00:22:33.600 Guys, knowing what you know, and I'm going to kind of just listen because I have my own

00:22:37.500 thoughts, obviously, being on the ground and listening to things.

00:22:40.060 How do you think Donald Trump should go about brokering this deal?

00:22:46.420 So I threw out on social media yesterday, just sort of an opening bid.

00:22:51.260 We all know that President Trump has stated pretty forcefully, even in his first term,

00:22:57.680 that he, one of the things that he seeks to do with the NATO alliance, which were, you

00:23:02.200 know, Blake just mentioned that we basically put the bill for all of Europe's defense.

00:23:06.520 And in return, President Trump has been really pounding the table.

00:23:09.600 And of course, there's that famous picture of him with Angela Merkel and the great Shinzo

00:23:14.520 Abe, the late great Shinzo Abe, you know, crossing his arms and staring at her because

00:23:19.640 he's demanding that the NATO member states up their, up their GDP expenditure on defense

00:23:25.240 to 5%.

00:23:25.940 And I say, well, just give, just give Denmark a break on that for, I don't know, a period

00:23:29.900 of five years, five to 10 years, call it whatever it is.

00:23:32.800 Boom.

00:23:33.120 All that savings goes right back into your economy.

00:23:35.460 And then in return, we get Greenland.

00:23:37.500 So we don't have to put any cash down on it.

00:23:40.160 And then all, and in return, they get the full defensive weight of NATO and the U.S.

00:23:44.600 military defending them.

00:23:45.740 Simple.

00:23:46.020 The other idea I've seen is we put tariffs on, on Ozempic. 1.00

00:23:53.920 Well, if they're, wait, Ozempic?

00:23:55.860 Is Ozempic Danish? 0.54

00:23:57.120 Yeah.

00:23:57.440 I believe Ozempic, I, one of the, it's, um, what's the, Nova Nordisk?

00:24:01.940 It is, Nova Nordisk is a Danish company.

00:24:04.500 That is, it is a Danish company.

00:24:06.180 Oh, it's, it's, it's Nova Nordisk, I think is what it is, right?

00:24:10.000 I want to double check this to get it right.

00:24:12.280 It is a, it is a Danish, I am a hundred percent.

00:24:15.100 It is.

00:24:16.020 Yes.

00:24:16.900 Yeah.

00:24:17.160 And it's like headquarters in.

00:24:18.580 It's a huge share of their economy now.

00:24:20.180 It's cartoonish.

00:24:21.060 Because the company is so valuable now.

00:24:24.860 It's a multi-trillion dollar company.

00:24:28.860 Denmark ain't a multi-trillion dollar, like, economy for the most part.

00:24:32.520 So, it's just like, oh, this little Danish, uh, pharmaceutical company.

00:24:36.740 Wait, so let me, let me, let me get, let me get this straight.

00:24:38.980 We, we, we have the greatest fighting force in the history of the planet.

00:24:42.140 Nuclear weapons, F-35s, drones, Marines, Navy SEALs.

00:24:46.420 They have Ozempic.

00:24:47.920 Yeah.

00:24:48.580 Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

00:24:50.120 They also have, interestingly enough too, uh, I think, I think you pronounce it, Maersk,

00:24:56.900 uh, is the big shipping company?

00:24:58.480 Maersk is their, is their largest?

00:24:59.520 Yeah, the shipping company.

00:25:00.460 So that's their largest.

00:25:01.340 They've been the best at shipping.

00:25:02.680 Yeah, but, I mean, uh, the tariff problem for them is much bigger than just Denmark.

00:25:09.380 So, I, I, I would, I would suspect that.

00:25:11.560 We wouldn't want to put tariffs on shipping because that would, that would directly, uh.

00:25:14.600 No, I'm just saying tariffs in general probably impact their business worldwide more than anybody

00:25:20.020 else.

00:25:20.380 So, you take off the table, you start talking about tariffs, you start talking about taking

00:25:24.680 off the table or adding tariffs to, uh, Ozempic, like you mentioned, you know, maybe

00:25:30.660 you can get a deal done real quick for us.

00:25:32.860 I just looked up the biggest brands out of, out of Denmark and, uh, uh, yeah, Maersk

00:25:37.400 is there.

00:25:38.080 There's also, of course, Pandora.

00:25:39.880 So, Pandora jewelry, that's, that's based out of Denmark.

00:25:42.940 When you think about it.

00:25:44.300 The Carlsberg group.

00:25:45.660 Carlsberg group.

00:25:46.600 And here's the biggest one, guys.

00:25:49.000 This is gonna, this is gonna hurt.

00:25:50.360 It's gonna hurt, hurt them a lot more than it hurts us.

00:25:53.300 Legos.

00:25:54.240 Legos are, of course, famous in Denmark.

00:25:55.680 Oh, yeah.

00:25:55.900 I forgot Legos are Danish.

00:25:57.300 Oh, yeah.

00:25:57.820 Yeah.

00:25:58.200 Oh, yeah.

00:25:59.580 Sorry.

00:26:00.180 Sorry, Lego.

00:26:01.800 Sorry to Legoland.

00:26:04.000 Tariffs on all of it.

00:26:05.520 Every brick.

00:26:05.940 If we, if we invaded them, they might like put Legos like on the carpet.

00:26:11.820 And if we, our guys stepped on them, that would really hurt.

00:26:15.000 That hurts a lot.

00:26:15.900 That's exactly how, that's exactly what happens at my house pretty much every single morning.

00:26:20.000 Exactly.

00:26:20.580 And Nova Nordisk though has a $372 billion market cap.

00:26:24.920 That's crazy.

00:26:25.860 Wow.

00:26:26.540 Let's figure that out.

00:26:27.380 I thought it was more than, I think that if it gets, oh, that's right.

00:26:31.460 If it gets on the Medicaid schedule here in America, it will be a trillion dollar company.

00:26:36.460 That is correct.

00:26:37.440 So, by the way, what a great negotiation tool that we have.

00:26:41.240 Yes.

00:26:41.820 Yes.

00:26:42.380 No, no.

00:26:43.000 It's a huge thing, by the way.

00:26:44.460 It's, it's being debated right now.

00:26:46.820 No way.

00:26:47.800 No, no, no.

00:26:48.860 Jack, for children, look up Ozambic Medicaid Congress. 0.85

00:26:54.240 It's a huge debate right now.

00:26:57.500 What a great negotiation tool that Trump has.

00:26:59.980 It's like, oh, it'd be a shame if Ozambic was banned in America.

00:27:04.540 It'd be a shame if Ozambic wasn't allowed to be sold here.

00:27:07.960 I mean, do you guys want Greenland that bad?

00:27:10.500 Or do you want to be able to sell your weight loss drug in the United States of America?

00:27:14.540 And when you think about it, it could be a great ad for Ozambic. 0.68

00:27:19.280 If Greenland loses all of that heavy territory, like Greenland loses 80% of its body mass.

00:27:27.260 It's like an ad for it.

00:27:29.020 So let me ask Blake.

00:27:30.480 Let me ask Blake.

00:27:31.380 Blake.

00:27:32.280 So some people, President Trump has not dismissed the possibility of using military force.

00:27:39.020 Blake, what is your thoughts on Donald Trump just saying, take it?

00:27:44.520 Okay.

00:27:45.860 You're doing this to make me the bad guy, Charlie.

00:27:48.180 Like, okay.

00:27:49.280 It's fine.

00:27:49.820 No, I'm not.

00:27:50.380 I genuinely think.

00:27:51.880 I'm not.

00:27:52.580 I'm not necessarily supportive of it.

00:27:54.500 I think that it comes with huge risks to NATO country.

00:27:57.040 But walk us through it.

00:27:58.260 I mean, don't hate.

00:27:59.920 Like, analytically go through it.

00:28:02.000 For sure.

00:28:02.360 Sure.

00:28:02.500 Sure.

00:28:02.640 Sure.

00:28:02.780 Sure.

00:28:02.820 Sure.

00:28:02.880 So, genuinely, I think it would be good for us to have Greenland for all the reasons

00:28:06.960 we've discussed.

00:28:08.160 I do think you need to convince the Danes to play ball.

00:28:12.880 I don't think it's a good idea for the U.S. to, like, essentially just bully countries

00:28:18.140 out of their territory.

00:28:19.800 Because, for one, think about our overall geopolitical situation of us as a global power.

00:28:27.420 To the extent that we get people to like us rather than China, I think a lot of it is 0.88

00:28:32.600 that we are, to some extent, like, at least a little bit nicer than China.

00:28:36.380 We aren't just taking territories from people.

00:28:39.120 You know, Trump is very firm.

00:28:40.380 We should stop getting ripped off.

00:28:41.920 And I think the Panama Canal is a good example where we gave, like, we built it.

00:28:46.700 We gave it to Panama for free under an understanding, like, you wouldn't let the Chinese get this 1.00

00:28:52.160 huge influence in it.

00:28:54.240 And, like, that's not proving to be true.

00:28:55.460 Like, I would be willing to play some pretty decent hardball there on a canal we built.

00:28:59.340 But, like, Greenland, we have never actually owned Greenland.

00:29:02.560 We occupied it for a bit during World War II, but we did give it back.

00:29:06.540 It would probably, essentially, I think it would greatly damage our relationship with a lot

00:29:11.840 of countries if we invaded and took a country's territory.

00:29:17.320 Greenland was right of conquest because Denmark, in, what, 1940-whatever, was occupied by the 0.89

00:29:23.820 Nazis.

00:29:24.240 And the deposed-in-exile prime minister of Greenland then signed the mutual defense treaty of Greenland with us so that the Nazis wouldn't be able to use Greenland as a launching platform for the United States or anything like that.

00:29:40.680 So, that's when we put our military there.

00:29:43.260 That's called right of conquest.

00:29:45.120 It would not exist.

00:29:46.200 Neither would Denmark exist at this point without the United States of America.

00:29:50.780 So, no, absolutely not.

00:29:52.220 No, of course, look, for the Panama Canal, there's no question.

00:29:54.420 Like, here's how this is going to go.

00:29:56.240 We're going to park an aircraft carrier on one end and an aircraft carrier on the other end,

00:29:59.940 and we're going to say, sign the new treaty.

00:30:02.140 It's going to be pretty simple there.

00:30:03.460 But for Greenland, I would argue that the United States has been providing military defense to Greenland for far longer than a lot of people are pointing out and in a way that does actually grant us certain rights to it.

00:30:16.420 So, what I will say is, let's say Denmark just says they don't want to play ball.

00:30:21.520 They're not going to sell it.

00:30:22.500 I think the way you go about it, rather than just kick in the door, which I think is a can of worms, at least, that would probably not be great.

00:30:31.020 You could just say, we're going to support, like, we back, you know, Dana, or not Dana, Greenland separatists, because as Charlie says, you've met a lot of people there who don't like the Danes and wish that they could go their own way.

00:30:42.800 So, you just say, we support Greenland's right to self-determination, and if Greenland were to become independent or break away,

00:30:51.320 we would have an offer for them to join the United States on these generous terms, and we would be happy to welcome them in as a U.S. territory,

00:31:00.480 and if you do that, we'll give you these rights to economic development, we'll give you this, this, this, this, this, and if you wanted to, you know, become a state,

00:31:07.900 maybe we could even say, if you want to become a state, we'll let you become a state.

00:31:11.420 So, I think that's how you go about it, and then you basically, you create the impetus for Greenland to decide that it wants to do this,

00:31:19.140 and if the Greenland people are saying, 60% of them, 75% of them say, we'd rather go with America,

00:31:25.840 the Danes are, they're ultimately Scandinavian. Scandinavian people kind of like classic, you know, democracy,

00:31:32.300 that's sort of, they're very collectivist. I think it would be very difficult for Denmark to just maintain that they won't let Greenland do it

00:31:39.080 if a very large number of them want to do it. I think that's how you go about it, rather than just say, we're taking this,

00:31:45.980 and if you don't like it, we'll shoot you. I think that would be a bad way to behave with a country that, 0.93

00:31:52.260 let's be real, I don't think Denmark has any big problems with us. They aren't the Swedes. 0.63

00:31:58.300 They don't, they're even, they're like the one European country that has real immigration laws.

00:32:01.860 We should, we should encourage them in that venture.

00:32:04.200 Yeah, they've actually been, isn't Denmark one of the only countries that since 2015,

00:32:09.180 that's actually been participating in some re-migration?

00:32:12.500 Yeah, they, they encourage, like one, they're very clear that people who come here,

00:32:17.040 we actually have to integrate. They've passed laws to, like, break up so that you don't have

00:32:22.500 migrant ghettos, for example. Like, you can't have all the people living in one neighborhood 1.00

00:32:26.820 where they don't assimilate to Danish norms. And they're paying people to go back.

00:32:31.920 They've been aggressive. And what's really interesting is, they've done that

00:32:34.880 without having a right-wing government like you'd have to have. Like, the Danes are the one place

00:32:40.340 where, we've said this before, if the left figures this out, we could be in trouble.

00:32:43.900 They're the one place where the left figured out, if we just become anti-immigration,

00:32:47.860 we'll win lots of elections. And so, it's the left-wing party in Denmark just said,

00:32:51.940 okay, we're going to cut immigration, and they win their elections, and they do just fine.

00:32:57.380 And Denmark will continue to exist as a country as a result.

00:33:00.200 So, we all agree. We're getting Greenland.

00:33:07.700 We're getting Greenland. Let's go.

00:33:09.020 Let's now move to the DEI. Now, let's go to DEI fire. Now, in some ways,

00:33:13.460 the Charlie Kirk Show today was a little bit thought-crimy. I mean, here's how you know that

00:33:18.220 you are over the target. When you say stuff on the Charlie Kirk Show that otherwise should be said

00:33:23.040 on thought-crime, and not one Media Matters article is written up. Blake sent me one of the most...

00:33:28.820 I cannot believe this has not gotten more coverage for the record. I don't know why this

00:33:32.380 particular thing is so bothering to me. Bothersome. Los Angeles, who's burning right now,

00:33:38.220 dear friend of mine, Stacey, friend of ours, her house burned down. It's awful. We know so many

00:33:42.020 people have. Los Angeles has three police chiefs that are all named Kristen, and they're all lesbian. 1.00

00:33:50.120 And then there's a fourth who's also lesbian, but she's not named Kristen.

00:33:55.300 Whatever. Sorry. Fire chief. Blake, is this true? Is this some sort of a troll?

00:34:00.020 Yeah. So, it literally is. Let me bring it up here, because we have to get the thread here.

00:34:08.340 Let's see. All right. Yeah. So, what it is, is basically to rise high in the LA fire department,

00:34:15.400 you basically have to be a lesbian named some variant of Kristen. So, first of all, we have 1.00

00:34:19.900 Kristen Crowley. So, she is the first LGBTQ fire chief of definitely LA, maybe of any large American

00:34:28.760 city. I don't know. I don't track that. And she says one of her top missions is to create systemic

00:34:34.780 equity and inclusion across the LAFD. She created a new DEI bureau within the LA fire department. So,

00:34:41.420 great, great use of money there. There was a great, a great meme I saw the other day. It's the,

00:34:46.620 have you guys seen that meme? That's like the guy sitting, standing in the corner at the party.

00:34:50.200 That's like, they don't know that I'm, and she's like, they don't know that I'm a lesbian. But then

00:34:54.640 the room is on fire. And I was like, ah, I'm on fire. Ah, that's one. Second, we have Christine

00:35:01.760 Larson. So, she's the first equity bureau chief of the, okay, that's, whoops, I read them out of

00:35:07.540 order. That's Christina Kepner, who's on screen. She's just a assistant chief. So,

00:35:11.140 she's, she's lower tier, but she is named Christina, which is important. What's going on

00:35:15.400 with her hair? What's going on with her hair is she like buzzed it. What's going on with her eye 1.00

00:35:20.800 is she was involved in a domestic violence, uh, dispute. She apparently made murderous threats 0.86

00:35:26.000 towards her spouse or partner or whatever, alleged, alleged, I should say. So, there was a domestic

00:35:31.980 violence spat between this beautiful, uh, diverse person at the LAFD. She has a certificate. I'm not

00:35:38.880 making this up. I checked the LinkedIn. She has a certificate from the Harvard Kennedy School

00:35:43.140 for managing diverse organizations, which is a certificate you can get.

00:35:48.700 Very useful. And then, now, the third one, we have Christine Larson. She is the first equity,

00:35:54.220 lesbian equity bureau chief. She is the co-founder of the group Equity on Fire, which is a great

00:36:00.640 organization name. That originality to come up with that is probably why she's paid $400,000 a year. 1.00

00:36:07.080 And she basically, like, would get in the news saying, like, there is a big racism and sexism problem

00:36:12.360 at the Los Angeles Fire Department. So, they were like, okay, we'll make you the equity bureau chief,

00:36:18.620 get paid $400,000. And I think we have this clip, uh, Angela, what's the number on it where she's 1.00

00:36:24.080 saying, where she's talking about rescuing someone from a fire? She has this great take on, oh yeah,

00:36:28.980 people say women aren't as strong. They're not as capable of, say, fighting the fire or pulling a 1.00

00:36:33.620 person out of the fire. Uh, what's the number on that clip? 141. Let's play it.

00:36:40.340 You want to see somebody that responds to your house, your emergency, whether it's a medical

00:36:45.960 call or a fire call that looks like you. It gives that person a little bit more ease knowing that

00:36:51.060 somebody might understand their situation better. Is she strong enough to do this? Or you couldn't

00:36:55.860 carry my husband out of a fire, which my response is he got himself in the wrong place. If I have to

00:37:00.720 carry him out of a fire. That's exactly what I want to hear from a firefighter. It reminds me of in

00:37:07.440 Houston. Help me, help me. Wait, you got yourself in the wrong place. Yeah. Yeah. You see her

00:37:12.720 calling, ah, I'm on fire. Ain't nobody. Are they like trolling victims? Yeah. Well,

00:37:20.160 will you type into Google right now? D E I F the first things that come up D I D I fire chief

00:37:26.720 D I fire D I fire Los Angeles D I fire department D I fire, California D I mean, this is not just

00:37:37.240 trending. This is like taking over everything D I related is now if you just type in D I now

00:37:44.120 D I fire D I chief. I mean, this is everywhere. It's, it's, it's truly mind boggling to like see

00:37:52.620 this happen. Cause you, I feel like a lot of us warned about this for ages, like how this goes.

00:37:59.180 It's not, you just like, you know, hit a light switch and everything's bad. What's so bad about

00:38:03.200 D E I is it's this corrosive rot. That's super easy to just miss as long as nothing really bad

00:38:09.740 is happening. And you know, most of the time we've gotten better at fighting fires. Buildings are more

00:38:14.680 fireproof. Uh, our techniques have improved and there's just not always a really bad fire. So you can go

00:38:19.820 years where you have a fake fire department and you're not going to notice a big problem.

00:38:24.160 And it only comes out now when finally there is the sort of crisis you only get every, you know,

00:38:29.740 five years, 10 years, 50 years hitting Los Angeles. And you need to have those strong institutions in

00:38:36.100 place. And instead you have a fake fire department, you have a fire department that exists to give

00:38:41.480 astonishingly well-paid jobs and astonishingly well-funded pensions to these like freaks who can't do the 1.00

00:38:49.700 job and get angry. If you tell them to do the job and give you a political lecture and they just

00:38:54.560 exist to soak up public money in this sick way. And we're seeing this. And as I was saying, it's,

00:39:00.720 it's the rot that happens in every little spot. So I've talked to people who say what, what caused

00:39:06.200 this to happen? And it's not that there is one cause it's for decades, Los Angeles has had a set

00:39:11.660 of values that made it. So everything there is a little bit worse. So, you know, go throughout the

00:39:15.880 process. This is probably a fire started by arson. Well, a lot of fires are started by homeless bums, 0.99

00:39:21.460 either because they're crazy or because they have illegal campsites. And a lot are also started by

00:39:25.780 illegal immigrants, a surprising number of fires, illegal immigrants just start them. And so what 1.00

00:39:31.500 place is the most pro bomb and pro, uh, illegal immigrant in the country, California. So that's, 0.95

00:39:38.300 you're more likely to have randos start fires there. Then you have, okay, how well are you able to

00:39:42.900 respond? Like how good are people at spotting the fire, calling it in? How quickly does the fire

00:39:47.460 department respond? That's where the rot in the actual fire department comes in. They're just not

00:39:51.300 as on the ball at responding to the fire, containing the fire. And then you have, well, okay, what do we

00:39:57.440 fight it with? Well, we need water. And well, we have assets that they sent to Ukraine. We have

00:40:02.260 budget cuts that they reallocated towards DEI, both in terms of they cut the LAFD's budget and they

00:40:09.120 moved budget within the LAFD to their new DEI bureau. And then they also just made it illegal to collect

00:40:15.020 water in California. They have literally disassembled dams that existed to make reservoirs. They have

00:40:22.640 let rainwater wash out into the Pacific ocean uselessly because they say it helps like a Delta

00:40:30.600 smelt or whatever the heck the names of these fish are. It's every step of the way, California has done

00:40:36.600 a thing that makes them one or 2% more likely for this to happen. And now as a result, we're just

00:40:42.080 going to burn down the nicest neighborhood in Los Angeles. Good job, everyone.

00:40:49.820 Do you think that people are going to move out? Jack, go ahead.

00:40:55.440 Oh, no, I was just going to bring up that all of this just reminds me and we on on human events

00:41:01.040 today, we were getting into the movie Chinatown, which I don't know if people know about, but it's

00:41:06.460 this old Jack Nicholson movie, just incredible film. And the whole thing is about the Los Angeles,

00:41:13.020 California. It's a great film. It's a great film. And we've, we've got this clip on it where

00:41:18.380 basically it's talking about how the water supply is used by the elites in California. And of course,

00:41:25.820 you know, and highly stylized in this murder plot in order to, in order to increase, well,

00:41:31.980 decrease property values so that the developers can come in and purchase all of it and then

00:41:37.520 increase it when they put the water to it. So let's play a clip one for two.

00:41:42.400 Going to be a lot of irate citizens when they find out that they're paying for water that

00:41:46.700 they're not going to get. Oh, that's all taken care of. See, Mr. Gibbs, either you bring the water

00:41:52.640 L.A. or you bring L.A. to the water. Go home, Jake. I'm doing you a favor.

00:42:01.920 Come on, Jake.

00:42:06.800 Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown. 1.00

00:42:08.940 So good. Forget it, Jack. It's DEI town. Ah, and for, uh, for longstanding, uh, thought crime

00:42:20.620 viewers, you might also recognize that the villain there is played by John Huston, who he himself is

00:42:29.900 the father of Danny Huston, who also plays the developer, who is the main antagonist of

00:42:35.500 Yellowstone. So you see it, it all comes full circle, folks. The Yellowstoning, the Hicklibs, 1.00

00:42:41.760 the California water wars, it's all indelibly tied together. It's this really cool, uh, way to look at

00:42:49.640 basically understanding how our world works through the understanding of Hollywood propaganda

00:42:53.380 and the deconstruction of it. You know, I think about how, like, let me ask you this question.

00:43:01.640 Blake, go ahead. If you have something to say, go ahead. No, no, no, no, go ahead. It was a bad

00:43:04.280 thought. I wasn't a fully complete thought. No. So I know this is kind of a, um, very simple question

00:43:13.700 and kind of cliche. Do you think this will result in any political changes? Tyler, you're the political

00:43:19.560 guy. Is this going to result in any political changes in California? Yeah. I saw, I saw something

00:43:26.920 really interesting that someone mentioned today, which was, uh, oh, I think somebody sent it over.

00:43:31.580 I think it was, um, uh, gosh, uh, what's his name? Uh, radio show host in California. Um, that used to,

00:43:39.340 that was best friends with Jimmy Kimmel. Why am I spacing right now? Uh, Adam Carolla. Yeah. I don't

00:43:43.820 know if, yeah, Adam Carolla made a good point that, uh, people are going to want to rebuild that area

00:43:48.920 very quickly. And there's a lot of libs that live in there that are, uh, you know, touchy feely 0.78

00:43:55.820 libs, you know, that are down on the coast that are in that area. And they're going to be, there are

00:44:00.400 really, they're going to weaponize like the California permitting. Well, they're going to, yeah, they're

00:44:03.980 going to have to go through that process with all the local permitting everything. And they're by

00:44:10.620 naturally organic natural episode that's going to happen is that all these woke lib feel good, you know,

00:44:18.440 coastal Californians are going to get so mad at the government with what they're going to have to

00:44:23.280 do to rebuild that all it's going to make them hardcore right wingers. I mean, it is really crazy

00:44:27.900 when you read about, have you heard of the California coastal commission? Yep. It's like,

00:44:32.340 it's almost like the comparison that comes to mind is actually like the federal reserve in a weird way

00:44:37.820 because federal reserve is not, you know, is independent and they kind of just do their own

00:44:42.340 thing. And even the president currently sort of just has to look and be like, okay, the fed,

00:44:46.240 you know, you know, Trump will go on Twitter and nag the chairman of the fed to do something

00:44:50.180 because it's an independent agency. And Trump wants to change that, of course, but that's the

00:44:54.040 way it is currently. And it's like the same thing, I believe with the CCC. They're basically this

00:44:58.340 rogue entity that has legal imprimatur to essentially make whatever law they want over

00:45:05.000 anything concerning California's thousand mile coastline. And so they've just gone out and

00:45:10.000 they're like, oh yeah, we're just going to ban, you know, building anything in this entire area.

00:45:13.660 And to make the comparison, Charlie, to Hawaii, there's not that many people that live where

00:45:19.200 the Lahaina incident happened in Maui. There is a ton of people who live within that immediate

00:45:25.220 geography of, of where this has happened. And so you're going to have a lot more vocal,

00:45:30.540 a lot more angry, a lot of wealthy people who, who have, have a lot to lose generational type

00:45:38.220 wealth. That's been basically cemented into that part of the country that they're going to be in

00:45:43.740 all out war with the government. And just like you're mentioning, like, like, this is like,

00:45:47.660 we're talking about made up, you know, fictitious type, type California style government that's down

00:45:53.060 the coastline. And, you know, we were joking about Baja California and everything else, but like,

00:45:57.640 this is going to be something that I think is going to be a real big break in politics in Southern

00:46:03.200 California. That's going to force not just from the, and don't forget the coastline is where it's

00:46:09.100 the deepest blue. Yeah. You have the deepest blue, the wokest, the most, you know, like put that up

00:46:14.760 on screen, put up the precinct map. Oh yeah. The saddest, you know, the saddest, you know, feeling bad

00:46:22.160 about being white type, you know, a lot of, a lot of Jewish heritage that's there, a lot of money

00:46:28.600 that's there that they're already, we're on the verge of flipping. Uh, we saw a lot of these areas

00:46:34.980 go, uh, tremendously right, tremendously pro Trump this last election. This is, this may be the straw

00:46:41.720 that breaks the camel's back that since Southern California into a 20, 30 year slide that may be

00:46:50.360 where people don't forget this for a long time between COVID policies. And then this where, you

00:46:55.200 know, you might went back big chunks of Southern California that we've lost, you know, for the last

00:46:59.300 20 years. So just to get back on that, specifically the California coastal commission, this is something

00:47:05.560 there, this, because all news ends up going back to the same person. They're actually in a feud with

00:47:09.680 Elon Musk right now because the U S government wanted to launch more satellites from Vandenberg

00:47:16.180 air, uh, space for space in Southern California to put up satellites for Starlink. And you know, it's good

00:47:21.480 for us to launch satellites into space. And the California coastal commission shut this down

00:47:25.820 because apparently they just have the power to do this. And they issue statements. The commissioners

00:47:30.580 just come out and say, yeah, we don't want them launching it. Cause we don't like Elon Musk. I'm

00:47:34.580 not making this up. This is an actual statement. Like commissioner commission chair, uh, Carol Hart

00:47:39.940 said, this is why we're dealing with a company. The head of which has aggressively injected himself

00:47:45.040 into the presidential race. And then we have Mike Wilson, also a commissioner. This company

00:47:51.220 is owned by the richest person in the world with direct control of what could be the most

00:47:55.620 expansive communication system on the planet. And this man has talked about political retribution.

00:48:01.860 So we have these political lunatics who just took over this independent commission and they

00:48:06.580 basically just have decided they have veto power over doing anything or building anything 0.85

00:48:11.700 within, you know, through like 3000 feet or something or like three miles, something like

00:48:17.200 that of California's coastline. And yeah, you're right. They're probably going to try to do this.

00:48:23.100 Even if they aren't right now, there will be people who will try to manipulate this process.

00:48:27.080 California is one of the worst States in the country for, you know, clogging things up with

00:48:30.620 lawsuits. Even if California tries to open the way, there will be some environmental group that

00:48:35.400 will say, Oh yeah, there were grandfathered things where like you were allowed to do this

00:48:39.020 because your house was a hundred years old. Nope. Doesn't apply anymore. We're not going

00:48:42.260 to let you build this. There's an endangered, you know, newt that grows on the side of this 0.95

00:48:46.440 mountain. Well, it's going to be crazy. And Charlie, we, we talked about this, this,

00:48:50.240 this morning, we, we talked about the trifecta that California has been in with Democrats for so long.

00:48:56.780 This California coastal commission could very well end up being at the epicenter, but it's not just

00:49:01.260 that. I mean, it's so far beyond that with the, the Senate, the, the assembly that they have

00:49:06.420 there, the governor who, by the way, has political aspirations to be president. You know, the,

00:49:11.820 the California coastal commission is made up of people who are appointed by the governor and the

00:49:16.060 Senate and the state and the assembly. That's who makes it up. And they've been run by Democrats.

00:49:22.220 So they, those people take direct orders. Everything you just, you just said is basically the voice box

00:49:27.540 of Gavin Newsom because they take direct orders from these people. They don't, they don't hop,

00:49:32.560 skip or jump without running it by the Senate, the assembly, because they could get yanked or

00:49:36.660 replaced probably pretty quickly. This is going to be a huge, I mean, I think that this disaster is

00:49:43.560 probably going to be one of the most costly disasters that we see in the modern times by

00:49:49.360 the time this thing is done. And you're going to, we got, we got to wrap soon. The impact that's on

00:49:55.200 Gavin Newsom is insane. Like it's, he can't run for president. We have one more topic here,

00:50:02.800 but first I need to talk about the rumble cloud. Are you tired of getting a surprise when you see
