On today's show, Nick DiPaolo joins us to talk about the Biden administration and the Trump administration, and how they approach globalism, how they talk to the elites, and what they do with each other. We also get into the craziest thing we've heard at Davos so far, and why we're glad we're in a new era.
00:03:22.000That is from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern.
00:03:25.000And actually, the last show in the lineup that's all free, Nick DiPaolo, is here today.
00:03:30.000So it's a perfect day because we'll be talking about Davos live.
00:03:33.000We not only have a highlight today, it is a rule of contrast.
00:03:36.000The Biden administration versus the Trump administration, how they approach globalism, how they approach the elites.
00:03:44.000It is a new era, and I'm glad to be a part of it.
00:03:46.000We're also going to compare these world leaders in the face of Trump, how they talk with him, versus when they talk on stage in their grandstanding.
00:03:53.000We have Montage after Montage has set it up, and then we're going through President Trump's speech.

00:06:57.000Just writing a note to work with Mr. DiPaolo on impressions.
00:07:08.000Well, the reason for it, the reason that that was written specifically for Nick is because I know that you know what it's like to have to be in the face of hacks on the road who do these things in the audience.
00:09:09.000So here's, before we get to that, while you talk about globalism, also understand this was something that turned me into a conservative as a very young man.
00:09:16.000I've told a story about my communist drama teacher accusing me of being right-wing.
00:09:22.000I also saw the whole we are the world sort of motifs, and I thought, wait a second, didn't we just learn about countries that like execute Christians?
00:09:31.000Didn't we learn about countries that force circumcision on women?
00:09:52.000So I want you to remember that when you talk about we are the world linking arms, you'd be linking arms with this new Welsh health ambassador, Athika Ahmed.
00:10:03.000And she has this new campaign because she is the one who's going to be advising on health.
00:10:07.000The Love Your Period campaign has resurfaced and now it's going viral.
00:12:27.000If we really want to support people who menstruate, we have to change how we talk about it.
00:12:31.000That means ditching the shame, normalizing the conversation, and making sure every young person, no matter their gender, understands how periods work and why they matter.
00:13:33.000Yeah, Trump came in and changed the atmosphere, but for the last, I don't know how many years, you know, all those DEI hires, they're still in the system.
00:13:46.000Yeah, it's like when you watch like an old, you know, like Michael Douglas movie and you see like the Bachelor Pat apartment, you're like, oh, that's just, that's from Ica and linoleum.
00:13:53.000That's not, and you're like, that was considered once upon a time.
00:14:01.000And that's about as far as I can take the analogy.
00:14:04.000Speaking of people who are delusional, this next person here, actually, Pam Greer, went on, I believe it was The View and told quite a story.
00:14:15.000She spinned quite a yarn about growing up and what she had experienced growing up.
00:15:56.000If you want to be really generous, some unconfirmed sources say there was one in 1932.
00:16:00.000Still well before she was born, and certainly not at a point in her life where her mom would have to shield her from roots taking place at the town square.
00:17:21.000And no one at the View just might say, wait, hold on.
00:17:23.000Again, you may not have the facts at the ready, but I could do the math and go, okay, she's whatever, she's 60, however old she is, you know, before even looking at her birthday, I would go, there's no way that's true.
00:19:41.000That has been Go See Melania, Reverse Super Chat.
00:19:47.000By the way, just so you know, we did actually write a commercial for the Melania trailer going through the hottest first ladies throughout history.
00:19:55.000And we ended up at like Miss Van Buren in Cleveland, and it involved a photoshop of James Buchanan because he was the only unmarried president in a wig.
00:21:02.000And I mean that in a way that we did not see from the first Trump administration.
00:21:06.000People often talk about, you know, in the second term, you can get done what you want to get done because you're sort of unrestrained.
00:21:12.000And that's not necessarily true, but the principle of it is something to keep in mind.
00:21:16.000What I want you to keep in mind today as we show you these clips, as we show you these videos, is the law of contrast.
00:21:24.000You are seeing a stark contrast between the Biden administration, the Trump administration, their approach.
00:21:30.000You are seeing a huge contrast between the way world leaders talk about Trump when they're with their gang.
00:21:37.000And these people are bullies, to be clear.
00:21:39.000They'll badmouth him, they'll trash him, they gossip like mean girls.
00:21:41.000And then when they're with him, oh boy, they are on their best behavior.
00:21:44.000And when he talks, you could hear rat piss on cotton.
00:21:47.000I want you to keep the contrast in mind.
00:21:50.000And most importantly, think of the contrast that was false guilt versus truth, because you may not like President Trump, but what he is espousing and what his team of absolute killers are championing there, it's the truth.
00:22:06.000So here you go, just to set this up: WEF Davos, and it's been a real barn burner.
00:23:00.000To be opposed to, let's sort of put aside mean tweets or tone.
00:23:06.000If you're going to side with any of the other world leaders, you would have to set as a premise that China is inherently virtuous, that Russia is not a threat, nor Iran.
00:23:17.000If you believe that, then these other people have a leg to stand on.
00:23:20.000If you don't, you better sit down, shut up, and listen.
00:24:42.000And we've also been focused on ensuring our approach works for everyone.
00:24:46.000Yeah, also, just as a quick aside, it's very interesting that they went from renewable energy to all of a sudden when these elites have heavy investments in AI and they understand that it needs constant power for these data centers.
00:25:32.000Just to be clear, that we have Europe buying Russian oil still.
00:25:37.000Still, four years later, they are financing the war against themselves.
00:25:43.000India started buying Russian oil after the conflict began, but President Trump put a 25% tariff on them, and India has geared down and has stopped buying Russian oil.
00:25:56.000We are in Davos at the World Economic Forum.
00:25:59.000And the Trump administration and myself, we are here to make a very clear point.
00:26:05.000Globalization has failed the West and the United States of America.
00:26:14.000It is what the WEF has stood for, which is export offshore, farshore.
00:26:22.000Find the cheapest labor in the world, and the world is a better place for it.
00:26:26.000The United States of America since 1980 has contributed $22 trillion more dollars or spent $22 trillion more dollars on the sense than all of NATO.
00:26:44.000That is two-thirds of our outstanding government debt.
00:26:48.000And 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.
00:27:00.000We can have policies that impact our workers.
00:28:08.000Do you notice, also when you're contrasting, someone like Scott Besson is saying, all right, we've spent $22 trillion, I think he said $22 trillion, more than I believe all the other nations combined, and that's two-thirds of our outstanding debt.
00:28:34.000What he is saying to these nations, these members of NATO, who have not paid their fair share, he is saying, if you read between the lines, that debt is your debt.
00:28:44.000You're the ones who are going to be holding the bag because we've been footing the bill and you haven't been honoring a contract.
00:29:54.000Libertarianism has allowed globalism to flourish.
00:29:57.000As long as it's free, open trade, that's great.
00:30:00.000Yeah, but that doesn't work in the real world if you understand that engaging in trade with bad actors is basically emboldening, enriching your enemies.
00:30:13.000The only way you can be against that, and please comment below if you think I'm off base here, the only way you can be against the idea of strong nation states is if you believe that all nations, and that means all nations share the same values.
00:30:28.000Guys want to do that with nations in sub-Saharan Africa?
00:30:32.000You guys want to do that with the Middle East?
00:30:34.000So there's going to be a nation state.
00:32:30.000But what we need is more Chinese foreign diet 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 produces or produce, which sometimes don't have the same standards or are much more subsidized as the one being produced in Europe.
00:34:17.000They have at least around five and a half million people enslaved.
00:34:22.000They forced the sterilization of Uyghur women.
00:34:24.000They actually visit homes to make sure that women are pregnant.
00:34:26.000And even though they used to actually force people to end the lives of children because of overpopulation, they've actually unilaterally annexed portions of that region.
00:34:35.000And they, not to mention created, released, covered up the global pandemic that wrecked the world economy.
00:34:40.000Some would say by design because they had a vested interest.
00:34:42.000And so we really don't want people who claim to be our friends enriching them.
00:34:47.000Let's contrast that, the world on China, while they virtue signal.
00:34:53.000Let's compare that versus the United States right now.
00:39:37.000We've actually created more jobs since the tariffs were put on than the United States, in absolute number.
00:39:43.000Our economy is growing at the second fastest rate within the G7.
00:39:46.000Yeah, well, a couple of things there to note.
00:39:48.000They are growing the second fastest at about half the rate the United States, according to the 2025 numbers, us at about 2.02%, them at about 1.15%.
00:40:48.000And boy, just the second this clip starts, you're going to go, what a snake.
00:40:53.000Thank you for your hospitality and above all for your leadership.
00:40:58.000You're a transformational president, a focus on the economy with a relentless focus on the American worker, securing your borders, ending the scourge of fentanyl and other opioids, and securing the world.
00:41:13.000And I've been elected with my colleagues here, with Trump, spread the credit, to transform Canada with a similar focus.
00:41:25.000And I'll say this as well, that the president has revitalized international security, revitalized NATO, and us playing our full weight in you are a transformative president.
00:41:38.000And since then, the transformation in the economy, unprecedented commitments of NATO partners to defense spending, peace from India, Pakistan through to Azerbaijan, Armenia, disabling Iran as a force of terror, and now, and I'm running out of time, but this is in many respects the most important.
00:42:27.000And make no mistake, sure, we are the world's only global superpower, but there is an elite club, and they let you know that Donald Trump, and by de facto, you are not in it.
00:42:36.000When they're all together, boy, is it a different tune that they sing than when they're in the room with President Trump, whereas he said the exact same thing.
00:42:43.000The merger of Canada and I'm kidding, maybe.
00:44:08.000And by the way, can we just also acknowledge it's pretty cool that the one voice of significance, the one voice that matters on the global stage, is our leader.
00:44:20.000So his tone, like I said, very different.
00:44:24.000And we have not seen this for many decades.
00:44:27.000And I would even say this includes Reagan, certainly includes George W. Bush and George Bush Sr., that the United States of America is for Americans.
00:44:37.000We are going to put our people first, as every other nation has, with the exception of us.
00:44:44.000And it's time for the rest of the world to get on board.
00:44:48.000Here is President Trump opening salvo.
00:44:53.000It's great to be back in beautiful Davos, Switzerland, and to address so many respected business leaders, so many friends, few enemies, and all of the distinguished guests.
00:45:13.000I've come to this year's World Economic Forum with truly phenomenal news from America.
00:45:20.000Yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of my inauguration, and today, after 12 months back in the White House, our economy is booming, growth is exploding, productivity is surging, investment is soaring, incomes are rising, inflation has been defeated, our previously open and dangerous border is closed and virtually impenetrable.
00:45:49.000And the United States is in the midst of the fastest and most dramatic economic turnaround in our country's history.
00:45:59.000And if you want to argue the degree to which he's correct, sure, that's a conversation to have.
00:46:13.000But the fact that we could improve the quality of lives for Americans by that much, what it tells you is that no one else has really even tried.
00:46:25.000And that even brings us, by the way, I am convinced, you guys let me know, Greenland.
00:46:28.000I'm convinced that the reason these other nations, and I'm not talking about those in Greenland themselves who welcome their conquerors with open arms because the Danes haven't been all that great to them, the only reason that other nations wouldn't want the United States to be in charge of Greenland and their security is because that would make President Trump the most consequential president probably of the last 200 years.
00:46:48.000I think that's probably the reason they don't want it.
00:46:50.000And that's why they say Donald Trump just wants the United States to be bigger than Canada, whatever it is.
00:47:39.000You're a great power, much greater than people even understand.
00:47:42.000I think they found that out two weeks ago in Venezuela.
00:47:47.000We saw this in World War II when Denmark fell to Germany after just six hours of fighting and was totally unable to defend either itself or Greenland.
00:48:00.000So the United States was then compelled, we did it, we felt an obligation to do it, to send our own forces to hold the Greenland territory.
00:48:11.000And hold it we did, at great cost and expense.
00:48:14.000They didn't have a chance of getting on it, and they tried.
00:49:16.000So now our country and the world face much greater risks than it did ever before because of missiles, because of nuclear, because of weapons of warfare that I can't even talk about.
00:49:30.000Two weeks ago, they saw weapons that nobody ever heard of.
00:49:34.000They weren't able to fire one shot at us.
00:50:04.000So they're going to go back to the drawing boards, I guess.
00:50:07.000Greenland is a vast, almost entirely uninhabited and undeveloped territory sitting undefended in a key strategic location between the United States, Russia, and China.
00:50:21.000That's exactly where it is, right smack in the middle.
00:50:25.000Wasn't important nearly when we gave it back.
00:50:28.000You know, when we gave it back, it wasn't the same as it is now.
00:50:32.000It's not important for any other reason.
00:50:33.000You know, everyone talks about the minerals.
00:50:36.000There's no rare earth, no such thing as rare earth.
00:53:26.000China provided radars, by the way, which the U.S. very quickly defeated in Venezuela.
00:53:33.000Where are people coming to our defense?
00:53:35.000Hey, where are these international governing bodies who all agreed that Maduro and Chavez, but certainly Maduro was an international criminal?
00:54:01.000And by the way, it makes sense when you understand the Russia-China supplied weapons and their defeat when you see some of the training videos from Venezuela.
00:55:09.000But if he wasn't bombastic, if he wasn't a lightning rod, the narrative would still be, oh, it's the rest of the world and this evil superpower of the United States.
00:55:17.000At least now people have to, because they hate him, they have to hate watch the facts.
00:55:22.000Oh, they folded in a few hours and we protected them.
00:57:10.000And I love Europe, and I want to see Europe go good, but it's not heading in the right direction.
00:57:16.000In recent decades, it became conventional wisdom in Washington and European capitals that the only way to grow a modern Western economy was through ever-increasing government spending, unchecked mass migration, and endless foreign imports.
00:57:33.000The consensus was that so-called dirty jobs and heavy industries should be sent elsewhere, that affordable energy should be replaced by the Green New scam, and that countries could be propped up by importing new and entirely different populations from faraway lands.
00:57:52.000This was the path that sleepy Joe Biden administration and many other Western governments very foolishly followed, turning their backs on everything that makes nations rich and powerful and strong.
00:58:06.000And there's so much potential in so many nations.
00:58:10.000The result was record budget and trade deficits and a growing sovereign deficit, driven by the largest wave of mass migration in human history.
00:59:41.000Back then, they were saying solar, wind.
00:59:44.000Donald Trump said, We still have to be energy independent.
00:59:46.000We still have to use fossil fuels, clean coal, everything at our disposal.
00:59:50.000What they are saying now is what Donald Trump was saying then.
00:59:55.000They're saying, yeah, but we can't rely on these forms of energy, right?
00:59:57.000Because of these big data centers and AI and because no one wants to be left behind.
01:00:00.000And these guys have a vested interest.
01:00:02.000So now that it affects their bottom line, they didn't care when it was expensive for you to fill up your car and maybe you couldn't afford, or an electric vehicle didn't matter for you.
01:00:13.000And by the way, that affected everything, not just Europe.
01:00:15.000It affected the emission standards, the environmental standards in American cars, right?
01:00:22.000It was a rush for all these vehicles, in spite of market forces, to force you into their parameters.
01:00:30.000Now they're saying exactly what Donald Trump was saying in 2016.
01:00:33.000Same thing, just a different motivation.
01:00:36.000One, which has been consistent, President Trump is on behalf of the American people.
01:00:40.000That's not good for the American people.
01:00:42.000The other, flopping from clean energy, renewables, solar, wind, to actually now we definitely need to ensure energy, consistency, independence.
01:01:33.000It wouldn't, to give you a very clear example: Greenland and by proxy, Denmark, anywhere else in World War II, where we were required to go in and pinch hit.
01:01:40.000You know what happens anywhere else throughout human history?
01:01:44.000If Denmark goes, we can't fight off the, we need your help, we go, oh, yeah, sure, yeah, I guess we'd have some use for Denmark.
01:04:40.000President Trump, of course, making some very good points.
01:04:43.000And I would say probably more disciplined than we often see him.
01:04:47.000He nailed the points, and Bessant really set it up for him along with, what's the name of the guy who you can hear the anti-Semitism growing while he talks, the bald guy.
