Why is Donald Trump talking about adding Greenland and Canada to the U.S.?
00:00:35.720
Well, he actually has a point, and it goes back to his negotiation tactics.
00:00:46.680
CNN also changed the headline throughout the morning of January 6th, proving they haven't learned a darn thing.
00:00:51.640
And Charlie Kirk was in Greenland. We talked to him on today's podcast.
00:00:57.180
Let me talk to you a little bit about Jace Medical.
00:01:00.000
Jace Medical's been around for a while. In fact, Stu used it. Didn't you use it on vacation, Stu?
00:01:04.880
No, I wanted to use it on vacation, and I didn't have it with me on vacation because I'm an idiot.
00:01:10.480
My son actually had to... He was sick, and it was late at night, and we were in an area where there wasn't, like, a lot of 24-hour pharmacies or anything.
00:01:18.860
Like, you know, and we had to wind up driving over an hour to get him the medicine that he needed.
00:01:23.860
If I just had my Jace case with me, that would have made things a little bit easier.
00:01:28.180
I will say that we always talk about Jace as a preparation thing, which is, you know, probably the main thing that you want to think about when you think about preparing yourself for medication,
00:01:36.000
if there's a shortage or if there's a supply chain disruption, but also travel is a great way to think about it,
00:01:41.620
especially if you're going overseas to, you know, one of these, you know, centralized health care systems you don't want anything to do with.

00:02:10.040
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:20.360
I have to tell you, let's start with his, Donald Trump's press conference yesterday.
00:02:33.000
So, like, if you could tell Trump anything, what would it be?
00:02:40.560
Because we don't want to be colonized by the Danish government anymore.
00:02:43.640
We get ripped every year about our minerals from Greenland.
00:02:47.760
We are the richest nation in the world, and we don't get to use it.
00:03:06.080
And, you know, they have no intention of giving it up.
00:03:15.680
As he said, it's the richest nation in the world.
00:03:22.040
It is also a strategic place for bases, et cetera, et cetera.
00:03:27.860
There's been, like, four or five presidents that have tried to buy Greenland in the past.
00:03:34.380
I'm going to get to why all of this makes sense here in a second and how you're supposed to read it.
00:03:39.700
Because he also went in yesterday about Canada.
00:03:46.360
And they asked him, would you rule out military strikes to take Alaska?
00:03:57.840
Since you're considering military force to acquire Panama and Greenland, are you also considering military force to annex and acquire Panama?
00:04:09.480
Because Canada and the United States, that would really be something.
00:04:14.440
You get rid of that artificially drawn line, and you take a look at what that looks like.
00:04:19.720
And it would also be much better for national security.
00:04:24.100
Okay. So, he's just, all he's doing is, well, let me say, let me give you the third one, and that is Panama.
00:04:36.560
But before we get to Panama, why not stop at the Gulf of America? Cut three.
00:04:45.640
And we're going to be announcing at a future date, pretty soon, we're going to change, because we do most of the work there, and it's ours, we're going to be changing sort of the opposite of Biden, where he's closing everything up, essentially getting rid of $50 to $60 trillion worth of assets.
00:05:05.820
We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory.
00:05:24.180
And Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country.
00:05:28.520
They can stop them, and we're going to put very serious tariffs on Mexico and Canada, because Canada, they come through Canada, too, and the drugs that are coming through are at record numbers.
00:05:45.140
This is an imperialist president. He's trying to create new Rome, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:05:50.940
Are you, are you, do you have absolutely no brain cells that work in your head anymore?
00:06:00.340
The final one is Panama, and I've told you this.
00:06:03.460
In fact, I'm doing a prediction show tonight, and I've been telling you for the last few weeks, Panama is going to be a problem for the United States.
00:06:13.280
And there is going to be, there's going to be some serious things happening in Panama this year, and I'll get into that a little later.
00:06:28.140
Because he wants to take over all these countries and these places?
00:06:36.040
The one thing you have to understand about Donald Trump is he's a negotiator.
00:07:00.760
We're even thinking about changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
00:07:12.520
Well, there goes tourism if the president keeps saying things like that.
00:07:16.960
And, you know, we're going to have to put some tariffs on it.
00:07:20.200
But, you know, I just think the Gulf of America is just a beautiful, beautiful name.
00:07:26.440
All he's doing is signaling you, you're a speed bump to me.
00:07:39.160
I've just got these giant tariffs and we'll probably end up owning you anyway because you're a failing state, okay?
00:07:54.560
He is saying to Greenland, you know, I think we should take it.
00:08:02.820
And it would be, I got to use a word that, you know, the New York Times has been talking about for a long time.
00:08:11.500
It would be a huge coup if Donald Trump could buy Greenland.
00:08:19.300
All the rare earth minerals and everything else, all of the riches of Greenland and the strategic placement of Greenland would be a very, very smart move.
00:08:30.100
Again, New York Times, Glenn Beck did say Donald Trump would pull off a coup.
00:08:37.260
I mean it in a different context than you worry about.
00:08:46.040
If we could just negotiate to have some bases there and to be able to sell and buy some of their rare earth minerals, that would be very smart and strategic.
00:08:57.400
Now, Canada, okay, Canada is, being the 51st state, okay, would it be great to have all of us combined, Greenland, Canada, the United States combined?
00:09:20.400
Canada responded with, well, maybe we'll buy Alaska and Minnesota.
00:09:39.860
All he's doing there is, again, throwing out a big idea, negotiating, because you're not paying for your own defense.
00:09:58.440
Well, right now, we're getting open borders from you in Canada.
00:10:08.000
We're not going to take military action to take Canada.
00:10:17.600
If you forget that Donald Trump is possibly the greatest negotiator to be in our lifetime, you might begin to understand what he's doing here.
00:10:29.060
But if you forget that he's a dealmaker, that's what he does.
00:10:34.220
He walks in and says, you know what, I'm going to vaporize that little dude over.
00:10:39.180
And then, they end up having tea in a communist country.
00:11:01.300
And he's not threatening anything but Panama, which we'll get into here in just a second.
00:11:16.680
And yesterday, he said about Hamas that there's going to be hell to be paid.
00:11:29.280
The thing is, with a negotiator, you have to be able to see – I mean, Trump always kind of means things.
00:11:42.360
You don't become a good negotiator if the people on the other side always think you're bluffing because you always are.
00:11:48.060
That's why America is in the dumpster fire we're in right now because the rest of the world just thinks that, you know,
00:11:56.960
Well, don't do this or we're going to give you a strongly worded letter.
00:12:01.500
If the world or anybody sitting across from the negotiating table from you, whether this is in your life or in global politics,
00:12:08.800
if they believe you're someone who will do what they say, you have all the negotiating power.
00:12:21.320
I would love to work here, but I can't work here, and I won't work here unless these things happen.
00:12:40.400
I'm just saying I can do better, and these things are a requirement for me.
00:12:46.600
When Donald Trump says, look, you're going to have to close the border, he means that.
00:12:54.300
Now, when he says, we're also going to, you know what?
00:13:08.780
This is the kind of president we have always wanted, one that is a hard negotiator on our side, on our side.
00:13:22.900
Let me talk to you a little bit about our sponsor.
00:13:28.840
With the Trump administration coming in, I feel pretty good.
00:13:32.500
But you know as well as I do, the last thing we should do is let our guard down.
00:13:39.560
And the Panama thing really could be the Cuban Missile Crisis of our day.
00:13:52.020
Well, the best thing you could do is go to My Patriot Supply and get emergency food in your home.
00:13:57.100
And it's the best time to do it because you don't want to do it when you're worried about everything else.
00:14:03.480
Just do this and get this worry off your plate.
00:14:07.740
You can get $100 off their three-month emergency food kit right now, 2,000 calories per day for three whole months, plenty of time and plenty to get you through, even a prolonged emergency.
00:14:21.680
Just go to MyPatriotSupply.com to order your three-month emergency food kit.
00:14:32.440
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:14:38.840
Let's talk about the state of the overall media.
00:14:43.240
And we've got two examples on this, the New York Times.
00:14:49.520
This is such an amazing story about a changing headline.
00:14:55.360
Not a changing story, just a changing headline.
00:15:04.540
And the story is basically, this is from January 6th, from Monday.
00:15:08.340
So he's, you know, they're going to certify the election.
00:15:18.400
Today marks the most stunning comeback in U.S. political history.
00:15:29.760
So January 6th was supposed, and this is kind of the story, was supposed to be the end of Donald Trump.
00:15:35.260
There was, you know, people all blamed him for it at the time.
00:15:41.480
I mean, metaphorically at the time, in January 6th, 2020.
00:15:54.940
And I can't think of anyone in political history, at least in the United States, that has had this kind of turnaround.
00:16:07.160
But it was written, I'm sure, by the overnight people who are not part of the in crowd, you know, and they were doing some actual headline writing, journalistically, actual headlines.
00:16:23.080
6 a.m., the headline changes to, Trump is more powerful than ever.
00:16:32.320
I mean, he's not president of the United States currently.
00:16:36.140
And you could argue he's maybe at the peak of his powers.
00:16:39.060
Like, I mean, I think it has different meanings for both sides.
00:16:46.140
If you're a supporter, you go, yeah, that's true.
00:16:47.900
If you're a negative, you look at that and go, yeah, and that's concerning.
00:16:55.980
It's now like, it could be kind of scary to at least half the country.
00:17:07.640
The headline is now the message Trump sends by inciting a riot.
00:17:15.500
So again, he's still, the power story is still in there.
00:17:19.640
Nothing has, nothing's changed in the story, right?
00:17:22.600
I think there were occasional updates to the story as the day went on.
00:17:30.640
And they've changed it from a, hey, wow, look how this has turned around in four years
00:17:36.300
to now he incited a riot and somehow or another he's finagled himself back into power.
00:17:51.540
Like they've come out, they've turned this into, they've made a judgment.
00:17:55.060
They've called, they've held him responsible for January 6th, the riot.
00:18:03.860
Again, like there are some people who make the argument.
00:18:10.960
Most of the country, I think, as we saw in the election, if they believed he was responsible
00:18:19.920
I think CNN on its own air, by the way, Harry Enten highlighted that only like 5% of people
00:18:25.340
identify January 6th as the most important part of the Trump presidency, the first term.
00:18:34.980
To highlight this all the time, to try to make this the issue, to defeat Donald Trump
00:18:43.960
Four years after his supporters invaded the U.S. Capitol, Trump is more powerful than ever.
00:18:57.740
Like when 10 million people cross the southern border, they're like.
00:19:06.700
But when there's 400 people inside the U.S. Capitol, 300 of which are grandparents, like
00:19:11.940
not knowing where they are, that is now apparently an invasion.
00:19:16.200
And it's funny, if this isn't the story of the elites, I don't know what is.
00:19:22.460
You got the overnight people that are writing a story.
00:19:26.380
Then the morning people come in and they're like, that's, I mean, we got to have, let's
00:19:31.500
make sure we're not forgetting who brought us to the party.
00:19:36.080
So let's at least balance it a little bit and give it a dual meaning.
00:19:45.440
Who's in their car at eight o'clock or just arriving at the office at eight o'clock?
00:19:49.940
All of the higher ups, all of, all of the big wigs are in and they're driving in or getting
00:19:56.820
up in the morning and they're hearing, you know, or reading that headline that has just
00:20:06.540
And then as the day goes on, they just become more and more solid as more and more elites
00:20:12.220
come in and go, I cannot believe we are selling our souls.
00:20:15.860
I can't believe we're not talking about the invasion and how this man started and brought
00:20:24.580
What a great example of, of how the elites work.
00:20:31.320
And you also see sort of a preview of how this is going to go, right?
00:20:34.880
Like if you think there's going to be this big mea culpa or some sort of self-reflection,
00:20:43.720
You mentioned Meta before, like you could make the argument that some of those companies
00:20:48.380
You know, I think it was McDonald's today announced a big like reversal on their DEI
00:20:54.700
So there is a lot of that happening, but I don't think it's happening over at CNN.
00:20:59.160
So can I ask you, can I, let me say something about that McDonald's thing.
00:21:04.720
This again is a sign that our Republic is sick.
00:21:10.260
I've told you in the past when the roles were reversed, that no person should be afraid
00:21:21.560
No business should be afraid of the president of the United States or Congress, unless you're
00:21:31.140
Then maybe you should, um, you know, Hey, I, you know, I'm in the murder business.
00:21:36.780
I, you know, I, I don't like to change policies, but we've got somebody who's strongly against
00:21:45.060
But our Republic is so out of balance where the, where a company like McDonald's, because
00:21:53.100
the power center was saying, you need to do this and teach all of these things, not passing
00:22:09.120
That shows you these companies have no principles at all.
00:22:14.280
Stu, have we changed anything in our broadcast with an exception of being more careful on comedy
00:22:24.300
Have we made any big changes because we were afraid of the government?
00:22:31.420
No, no, um, we wanted to make sure that we were doing the best business practices.
00:22:36.680
So, you know, companies like, or people like media matters couldn't just put us, I didn't
00:22:42.640
want to do them, give them any gifts, you know, by saying things through comedy that would
00:22:54.620
You're a company that is a, builds a product or makes a product.
00:23:04.580
When these companies are flip-flopping this dramatically, it shows we are way out of whack.
00:23:13.780
That's what happens in fascistic or authoritarian states, not the United States of America.
00:23:23.400
Listen to this headline and tell me, tell me of a more shocking, uh, headline, uh, than this.
00:23:36.880
What is the UK grooming gang scandal that's been seized on by Elon Musk?
00:23:50.840
They are admitting in the first part of that headline that their audience is not aware of
00:23:57.520
the grooming gang's story in the UK, which has been brewing for a decade, okay?
00:24:06.240
In fact, it is what Tommy Robinson and all of these people that they've said is Nazis.
00:24:12.780
This is the reason why they've been called Nazis, okay?
00:24:17.960
So they are admitting the New York Times is admitting you as a reader, probably don't know anything
00:24:34.220
And if we have, you wouldn't understand it this way because we suck at our job.
00:24:39.980
Then they make the story, which is about the sexual molestation by, uh, by let's be honest,
00:24:49.560
um, uh, Muslim, crazy, uh, migrants that have come in and are raping the children and grooming
00:25:04.080
That story is now being seized on by Elon Musk.
00:25:09.980
Inferring that he's only doing this for more power.
00:25:15.040
He's only, he's taken this little story that you haven't even heard because it's not the
00:25:23.720
And Elon Musk is using this to gain more power.
00:25:40.040
Does anybody else still have a problem with that?
00:25:44.180
Did you see when Beyonce came out on the stage for whatever playoff game that was Christmas,
00:25:50.500
Um, and she came out in a big cowboy hat and she was doing country.
00:25:55.940
Um, anyway, uh, so I have a problem with that, but why was she allowed to do a huge, uh, uh,
00:26:04.080
halftime show Beyonce when her husband is, uh, you know, you, you remember, uh, uh, Louis CK.
00:26:13.920
He got permission from women to touch himself in front of them.
00:26:23.460
Well, I mean, he could perform, but that's in a different way.
00:26:30.020
Beyonce's husband is accused of raping children, blackmailing all kinds of people and having
00:26:41.980
these huge baby oil parties that were called Diddy parties that apparently everybody knew
00:26:49.360
There's no way everybody knew about him, but Beyonce didn't.
00:26:52.720
Well, you're talking about Jay-Z or you're talking, wait, you're talking about Jay-Z.
00:26:56.760
So Diddy is the guy, the guy with the sex party.
00:27:02.140
But, but Jay-Z is also involved in the Diddy sex parties.
00:27:07.760
There was some accusation, I think, about that.
00:27:10.380
I haven't followed it all that closely, but yeah, I think there was some accusation.
00:27:13.340
But there's, there's no way she didn't know about those sex parties.
00:27:26.300
I'm not saying put them in jail without a trial, but I mean, I think we can, we can look at
00:27:32.200
stories and go, Hey, I don't have all the details about Epstein, but the guys that were
00:27:38.900
hanging out with Epstein a lot probably were involved or at least knew about this and were
00:27:46.620
I just, I think again, I'm not just trying to cover ourselves from Beyonce's lawyers.
00:27:50.280
I think it is important to make a distinction from a guy who's in prison currently, another
00:28:02.260
You're streaming the best of the Glenn Beck program, and you can find full episodes wherever
00:28:08.880
You know, one of the best things about growing older is you're able to watch people grow and
00:28:15.020
come into the business and witness the mistakes and how they pick themselves back up and how
00:28:21.400
they do things and what they really turn into as they grow.
00:28:25.160
Charlie Kirk is a guy I've been watching for a very long time and is really remarkable.
00:28:31.720
Has his head on right, is playing a very big role, and none of it is going to his head,
00:28:39.840
at least that I have seen, and that is extraordinarily difficult when you are as young as he is and
00:28:46.080
up against so much power and fame all around you.
00:28:55.700
Honored to be here, and I got to tell you that that is a introduction I never thought I'd
00:28:59.940
Charlie Kirk was in Greenland yesterday, so honored to be here.
00:29:03.720
Yeah, it doesn't usually happen unless, like, your plane is having an emergency, you know?
00:29:11.260
Yeah, it's not always a destination, but Glenn, you're a friend and a teacher and a mentor
00:29:21.000
Did you just get a call from Don Jr. who's like, hey, let's go to Greenland?
00:29:24.580
Yeah, you know, it was in the news cycle, and Don's a big outdoorsman, and I'm very close
00:29:30.240
And he said, hey, you know, before the new administration comes in, he said, why don't
00:29:34.720
I just go do a trip to Greenland and just kind of go get to know the culture and get
00:29:40.160
And one thing led to the other, and I was invited on this and took Trump Force One in
00:29:45.200
the middle of the night and flew all the way up to Nook.
00:29:48.160
You could only land within their little window of daylight there.
00:29:55.880
So for all of you listening right now in Minneapolis or Chicago, do you think you have it bad?
00:30:03.260
But I got to say, Glenn, I was blown away at the worldwide movement that MAGA has created.
00:30:10.740
We were met by hundreds of people, people in MAGA hats in the streets of Nook, people that
00:30:19.960
And Don wanted to go, and I wanted to go also to just learn, what is Greenland's place in
00:30:28.880
There's only one state that I think compares, and that would be Alaska.
00:30:41.780
Number two, incredible natural resources that the current Danish government who controls
00:30:45.980
Greenland does not allow locals to exploit or use or take advantage of.
00:30:50.760
I'm talking about resources we might not even be aware of, but they have gold.
00:30:54.480
They have rubies, they have oil, natural gas, just remarkable.
00:30:57.700
And number three, which I think is the greatest thing.
00:31:03.940
But, you know, the problem is Denmark won't let them do anything.
00:31:07.520
Well, the United States won't let Alaska do anything either.
00:31:12.380
But, you know, I think this is the best investment America could make in my lifetime.
00:31:21.520
But it would take a Donald Trump to let us actually use it responsibly, too.
00:31:27.060
And, I mean, thankfully with President Trump, I think we'll get Anwar back in Alaska.
00:31:30.760
And so, but what I also saw, though, is that the people of Greenland, they can't stand Denmark.
00:31:35.880
They think that the Danes mistreat them, take advantage of them, and they want to be part of America.
00:31:42.400
And if this deal were to be brokered, which, you know, just looking at now as a tourist coming there and back,
00:31:47.320
I think it's totally possible, especially with President Trump coming in,
00:31:51.280
this would be such a net benefit for the United States for national security reasons.
00:31:55.820
The Arctic is becoming an increasing hot center with China and Russia.
00:32:00.260
And Canada has let Russia just walk all over the Arctic Circle.
00:32:09.860
I mean, we also went to a cultural center, Glenn, kind of their local museum.
00:32:14.340
And they had drawings and pictures of people, you know, 600 years ago,
00:32:18.740
before any heating obviously existed, that were able to survive in these winters.
00:32:23.220
I mean, there are very tough people that have been through a lot.
00:32:32.200
And I think if, again, if the deal were to be brokered, only President Trump could do it.
00:32:39.700
Instead, they're actually, I think, harming the great people of Nook and Greenland.
00:32:45.120
And, hey, one day we might have lots of nonstop flights from New York and Chicago to Nook.
00:32:50.960
And I would love to welcome the people of Greenland and the United States of America.
00:32:54.660
It would be interesting because the real obstacle here is Denmark.
00:32:59.100
They have, you know, we've tried to buy Greenland several times, you know, back in the 1800s it began.
00:33:10.660
We've given a trillion dollars away to the banks.
00:33:13.300
This would be the best expenditure of a trillion to a trillion and a half dollars that America could make.
00:33:25.280
But do you think the Danes would be interested at all?
00:33:31.180
So just kind of thinking out loud here, number one, how much of a save the Danes actually have?
00:33:34.940
We pay for all their military defense, basically, through NATO.
00:33:37.520
We're the ones that are keeping, you know, Putin at bay.
00:33:40.660
We're the ones that continue to fund all of these military bases throughout Europe.
00:33:44.260
So maybe it's time that we flex a little bit of that muscle and use some of that leverage of all of these blank checks that we've been writing all throughout Europe.
00:33:52.020
Number two, though, is that Denmark is not even using the natural resources that are at their disposal to be able to, guess what?
00:33:59.560
Make Europe no longer dependent on Russian oil.
00:34:02.140
I mean, to make Europe no longer dependent on Middle Eastern oil.
00:34:06.000
So what you have is this incredible reservoir of oil and natural gas that is much closer in approximation to Europe than any of the other places they get oil from.
00:34:16.040
And then finally, I think you make this astute point.
00:34:19.380
Denmark is nowhere near as wealthy a country as America.
00:34:23.340
And the people, and this is the final kicker, the people of Greenland do not like their current rulers.
00:34:29.000
If it was held to a vote, they would vote to leave Denmark.
00:34:32.820
In fact, you saw the Greenlandic prime minister in the news saying, we want our independence.
00:34:41.800
That means they want to break free of the shackles of the Danish government who mistreat them.
00:34:51.520
I'm talking 18, 19, 20 years old that follow us on TikTok and follow us and their fans.
00:34:56.060
They said, when we go to Copenhagen, which is our, you know, we are mistreated.
00:35:03.880
They say, get out of Copenhagen, go back to your home.
00:35:06.200
Look, but when we meet Americans, we get, we are treated like human beings that have opportunity.
00:35:18.420
They said, the nicest people that ever come to Greenland on the planet are always Americans.
00:35:22.380
They said, they always come and they're so warm.
00:35:25.760
And they said, the Europeans, they don't want anything to do with us.
00:35:29.960
It's not as if that these people are thrilled with their current relationship with Denmark.
00:35:34.780
And I think this deal could be brokered and it would, it would exponentially benefit the
00:35:40.280
So, um, you know, the things that Donald Trump is talking about now, Greenland, he is absolutely
00:35:47.940
And he should be, I think it would be a tremendous, I mean, that's a moonshot.
00:35:52.140
That's, that's a president looking to the future.
00:35:55.380
And the same with Panama Canal, Panama Canal is in the hands of China right now.
00:36:00.480
And this is a Cuban missile crisis kind of scenario that I haven't heard anybody talk about until
00:36:12.980
Um, Canada, I think he's just trolling Canada and negotiating, you know, he's serious about
00:36:19.060
the border, but what a great way to say, instead of saying, I'm going to, I am going to rake
00:36:24.820
your people over the coals with, uh, with, uh, all kinds of tariffs.
00:36:29.020
If you don't stop what's happening on the border, instead saying, you know, trolling Trudeau at
00:36:34.820
the same time saying, Hey, why don't you join the family, man?
00:36:43.820
And, and look, the Canadian thing, to be honest, as an American going, I don't know if I want
00:36:49.120
And if they want to buy Minnesota, I'll sell it to them for a cup of coffee and maybe a half a
00:36:56.300
That would, that would be a great, I love the people of Minnesota, but, uh, the Minneapolis
00:37:02.320
Edmonton is great too, by the way, tons of natural resources and wonderful people.
00:37:05.640
But, uh, look at the Panama canal, we could talk extensively about that.
00:37:09.020
That, that, I mean, the president is as serious as sin on that one.
00:37:11.900
That, that is, that is the choke point right now.
00:37:22.180
Uh, and look, the Chinese are trying to build another canal right now, um, in a neighboring
00:37:26.960
country because, you know, they're afraid that America might actually take back control
00:37:31.740
So, uh, Greenland plus Panama would strengthen the Northern hemisphere, our hemisphere, the
00:37:37.520
Western hemisphere would strengthen it in a way for generations to come, especially as
00:37:42.400
we are seeing the rise of the belligerent Chinese communist party.
00:37:45.280
I haven't been able to get ahold of Mr. Rand or McNally.
00:37:49.240
Can the president just say it's going to be the Gulf of America?
00:37:53.200
You know, that's a really interesting question.
00:37:55.920
So there's these boards and commissions that rarely get any of attention.
00:37:59.640
You might remember Obama went through one of those boards and commissions and renamed
00:38:06.240
Um, and it's just, it's just the naming commission and the president has full authority of who sits
00:38:11.820
And so the president is probably going to put five or six loyalists there and rename
00:38:21.920
So that one's getting done out of all the ones, it is going to be the Gulf of America and, uh,
00:38:27.080
President Trump that we want to have many legacies.
00:38:32.340
Are you, I mean, do you, are you part of the transition committee or are you just kind
00:38:40.500
And my, my title is a friend of the president, friend of the president.
00:38:46.580
I'm still running turning points, still doing the show.
00:38:48.580
And I'm just blown away, uh, Glenn at the opportunities that I'm being given and the,
00:38:55.080
It's just, I have to pinch myself and I'm humbled by it.
00:38:57.960
I'm so excited by everything that Trump is doing.
00:39:01.880
I become more optimistic every single day in watching him and seeing where we're going.
00:39:07.180
Uh, can I ask you something really self-serving?
00:39:16.960
I want to be on the 250th anniversary committee that is putting together the, the anniversary
00:39:29.900
I think you would be, I think you'd be spectacular.
00:39:31.720
And there is going to be a special commission for that.
00:39:34.720
Um, by the way, it's not the by, it's not the bicentennial has a very long name.
00:39:46.580
So coming up next July, not this July, uh, next July, July 26th is our 250th birthday.
00:39:52.580
And the president wants to do something spectacular and bold and it will be amazing.
00:40:06.680
So I called him from, uh, Greenland and he was just thrilled to hear from me.
00:40:10.780
He's still in a very serious condition right now.
00:40:14.720
I'm not at liberty to talk about all the medical details, but everybody in your audience, please
00:40:20.060
We need that extraordinary mind back behind the microphone and finishing his tour commentary,
00:40:25.260
but I'm communicating with him and his family on a daily basis.
