00:00:39.680 Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell confirms he's under criminal investigation by the DOJ.

00:00:45.420 We gotta stop the HIPO Reddit.

00:00:47.760 Saying this officer's a murderer is dangerous.

00:00:51.440 As state and local lawmakers inflamed tensions in Minnesota following the shooting death

00:00:55.980 of a woman resisting arrest who was accelerating her car toward an ICE agent,

00:01:01.160 border czar Tom Homan calling on the left to turn down the temperature.

00:01:05.500 Obviously, everybody could have done more to prevent fraud.

00:01:08.560 That's a fair point to make.

00:01:10.400 Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frye forced to admit there's a real fraud problem in his city

00:01:15.340 as the feds step in to fix it.

00:01:17.620 President Trump eyeing possible military action in two countries and the college football playoff

00:02:37.680 Prosecutors opening a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell

00:02:42.780 over statements regarding the renovation of the bank's D.C. headquarters.

00:02:47.720 The New York Times reporting the inquiry, approved by U.S. Attorney for D.C. Janine Pirro in November,

00:02:52.860 focuses on whether Powell lied to Congress about the scope of the project.

00:02:57.920 In 2017, the Fed receiving approval for the work, estimated to run about $1.7 billion,

00:03:04.220 cost projections now climbing to about $2.5 billion.

00:03:08.580 Powell last night in a video posted to social media, looking rattled, confirming the probe

00:03:13.640 and saying it's tied to his June congressional testimony.

00:03:17.500 Powell says it's merely a pretext related to his fight with President Trump over interest rates.

00:03:22.860 I have deep respect for the rule of law and for accountability in our democracy.

00:03:28.100 No one, certainly not the chair of the Federal Reserve, is above the law.

00:03:32.120 But this unprecedented action should be seen in the broader context of the administration's threats

00:03:37.140 and ongoing pressure.

00:03:38.920 This new threat is not about my testimony last June

00:03:42.060 or about the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings.

00:03:45.300 It is not about Congress's oversight role.

00:03:47.740 The Fed, through testimony and other public disclosures,

00:03:51.180 made every effort to keep Congress informed about the renovation project.

00:03:55.500 Those are pretexts.

00:03:57.320 The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates

00:04:02.040 based on our best assessment of what will serve the public,

00:04:05.860 rather than following the preferences of the President.

00:04:08.880 Public service sometimes requires standing firm in the face of threats.

00:04:12.700 I will continue to do the job the Senate confirmed me to do,

00:04:16.920 with integrity and a commitment to serving the American people.

00:04:20.740 Thank you.

00:04:21.580 Since taking office last January, President Trump waging a public pressure campaign,

00:04:26.480 urging the Fed to lower interest rates.

00:04:28.580 The Fed ultimately voting to lower rates three times last year,

00:04:32.160 each move criticized by President Trump as too late and not drastic enough.

00:04:36.320 The Federal Reserve is a quasi-independent body with a unique status,

00:04:40.940 meaning the Fed chair, while nominated by the President,

00:04:43.660 cannot be removed without cause.

00:04:46.120 Concerns over ballooning costs of the Fed's headquarters reaching a fever pitch in July,

00:04:51.120 with President Trump visiting the construction site,

00:04:53.820 criticizing the increasing costs,

00:04:55.960 and referring to it as, quote,

00:04:57.620 sort of a fireable offense.

00:05:00.460 Powell's term as Fed chair expires in May.

00:05:03.200 At least 30 people arrested over the weekend in Minneapolis

00:05:08.460 as residents take to the streets protesting ICE

00:05:11.640 after an agent shot a woman resisting arrest

00:05:14.840 as she accelerated her SUV toward the officer. 0.93

00:05:18.740 State and local officials leaping to condemn the agent and ICE

00:05:22.400 and continuing to misrepresent what actually happened.

00:05:26.820 Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry, a Democrat, yesterday on NBC.

00:05:30.500 The ICE agent was not run over, as Trump stated.

00:05:35.480 You had a person that was definitively trying to just get out of there.

00:05:40.960 They were trying to leave the scene.

00:05:44.020 That is not a person that's trying to run an ICE agent over.

00:05:47.920 You have a person that is trying to protect our city,

00:05:50.600 to look out for our neighbors.

00:05:52.540 When there is debate about baseline facts,

00:05:55.700 like, for instance, did the ICE agent get run over?

00:05:58.940 Guys, the answer is no.

00:06:01.380 It didn't happen.

00:06:02.680 That agent is heard on tape exclaiming in alarm

00:06:05.960 as the vehicle clearly hits him before he opened fire,

00:06:10.300 a moment that is caught on video and audio.

00:06:13.680 The agent, an Iraq war veteran,

00:06:15.720 later seeking treatment at the hospital for a hip injury,

00:06:19.000 which the mayor denigrated in a press conference, quote,

00:06:22.260 he walked out of there with a hop in his step.

00:06:25.300 Border czar Tom Homan, who spoke to the agent,

00:06:27.380 describing the impact of the incident Saturday on the Dr. Phil podcast.

00:06:32.040 He's concerned.

00:06:34.340 I've seen today his face over social media.

00:06:38.520 He's been doxxed. 0.98

00:06:39.860 People are threatening to kill him.

00:06:42.100 So he's not good.

00:06:43.440 He fears for him and his family.

00:06:45.400 And again, let the investigation play out.

00:06:49.120 Before you say you want to execute this man,

00:06:51.740 let the investigation play out.

00:06:53.240 This officer is not in a good spot emotionally for his family.

00:06:57.620 Is he upset about what took place?

00:06:59.800 Of course he is.

00:07:00.680 I mean, any law enforcement officer who uses any sort of...

00:07:04.700 Look, I've been around a long time.

00:07:06.700 Even if it's less lethal force,

00:07:09.240 if you're about to put hands on somebody and take them down,

00:07:12.040 it affects you.

00:07:13.200 Last week's incident marking the second encounter

00:07:15.880 with a weaponized vehicle for that agent.

00:07:18.040 An illegal alien child molester over the summer

00:07:21.440 hitting the gas during an arrest,

00:07:24.100 dragging the officer far down the road,

00:07:26.220 causing injuries that required 33 stitches.

00:07:29.720 Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem yesterday on CNN

00:07:32.780 on the heightened risks immigration officials

00:07:35.460 know they're facing.

00:07:37.040 We've seen vehicles weaponized

00:07:39.320 over a hundred times in the last several months

00:07:41.800 against our law enforcement officers.

00:07:43.640 So they definitely know that the threat is real,

00:07:45.980 that individuals who are trained by activists

00:07:48.900 to go out and to impede their law enforcement operations

00:07:51.380 will weaponize their vehicles

00:07:52.900 and try to run them over and drag them and not stop.

00:07:55.820 So they certainly go into these situations

00:07:57.760 with that knowledge that that could happen,

00:08:00.000 and that's what their training prepares them for.

00:08:02.360 Congresswoman Ilhan Omar,

00:08:03.920 a Democrat from Minnesota on CBS yesterday,

00:08:06.900 seemingly encouraging more people

00:08:08.920 to interfere in law enforcement operations.

00:08:11.260 I think it is really important for Americans

00:08:15.680 to record, to create the level of accountability

00:08:21.320 and transparency that we need.

00:08:24.380 What we have seen in Minneapolis

00:08:26.260 is ICE agents oftentimes jumping out of their cars.

00:08:31.000 These are unmarked cars.

00:08:32.900 Oftentimes they're wearing a mask.

00:08:34.520 They're approaching running towards cars.

00:08:39.480 They're pulling people out of those cars.

00:08:42.320 Oftentimes these people are citizens.

00:08:44.620 Oftentimes these people have documentation

00:08:46.440 of their legal right to be in this country.

00:08:51.560 And we know that DHS has lied repeatedly

00:08:55.400 when it comes to these accounts.

00:08:57.720 So it is even more important

00:08:59.680 for there to be recording from eyewitnesses

00:09:03.620 every single time these actions are taking place.

00:09:06.620 Mr. Homan yesterday on NBC

00:09:08.360 pleading with the media and lawmakers

00:09:10.840 to turn down the temperature.

00:09:13.260 We gotta stop the Haporetic. 0.94

00:09:15.660 Saying this officer's a murderer is dangerous. 0.99

00:09:19.420 It's just ridiculous. 0.99

00:09:20.480 It's just gonna infuriate people more, 0.93

00:09:24.560 which means there's gonna be more incidents like this

00:09:26.740 because the Haporetic is not only continuing,

00:09:29.220 now it's tripled down and doubled down.

00:09:31.300 I'm asking you to respond to the protesters

00:09:33.500 who say they feel less safe,

00:09:35.720 who say they're concerned for their neighbors.

00:09:37.640 Because you're looking at media reports

00:09:39.400 and saying ICE are terrorists, they're racist, 0.99

00:09:41.580 they're the Nazis. 0.99

00:09:43.020 They're listening to people saying that,

00:09:44.840 you know, using the term disappearing people.

00:09:47.880 It's because of the rhetoric, the hateful rhetoric.

00:09:50.580 So that small population out there

00:09:52.380 that's already half nuts,

00:09:54.840 they hear this rhetoric that ICE is racist

00:09:56.760 and they're Nazis and they're disappearing people. 1.00

00:10:00.180 That empowers them to do stupid things. 1.00

00:10:04.260 The recent federal surge into Minnesota 1.00

00:10:06.780 motivated in part to investigate widespread fraud

00:10:10.140 across the state's vast social welfare system,

00:10:13.240 a plundering of taxpayer dollars

00:10:15.180 that prosecutors estimate totals at least $9 billion

00:10:18.700 across 14 Medicaid services.

00:10:21.800 Amid the fallout, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz,

00:10:23.920 a Democrat in early January, dropping his re-election bid.

00:10:28.180 NBC yesterday asking Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry,

00:10:31.540 an emphatic critic of the Trump administration,

00:10:34.380 if he believes Governor Walz did enough

00:10:36.460 to crack down on fraud.

00:10:38.340 Well, look, Governor Walz is the reason

00:10:40.620 that we've got paid family leave in Minnesota.

00:10:42.860 He's the reason we've got free school lunches.

00:10:47.000 Him and I, we've been through thick and thin...

00:10:49.360 But did he do enough to combat fraud, Mayor?

00:10:51.900 Did he do enough to combat fraud?

00:10:53.400 Look, obviously, everybody could have done more

00:10:56.080 to prevent fraud,

00:10:57.260 and I think that's a fair point to make.

00:10:59.200 He's setting up a whole bunch of infrastructure

00:11:00.980 to do that.

00:11:01.800 And by the way, look, the fraud's real.

00:11:03.780 We've all got to acknowledge it.

00:11:04.820 The fraud is very real.

00:11:07.000 And by the way, when somebody commits fraud,

00:11:10.380 you investigate it,

00:11:12.460 you charge,

00:11:13.860 you prosecute,

00:11:14.760 and yeah, you put the person in jail.

00:11:17.680 As an individual,

00:11:19.200 you do not hold an entire community,

00:11:21.900 any community,

00:11:22.820 accountable for the actions of individuals.

00:11:25.400 The Trump administration

00:11:26.820 instituting several measures

00:11:28.540 to handle the fraud,

00:11:29.800 including

00:11:30.200 Medicare and Medicaid

00:11:31.980 deferring funding

00:11:32.980 for 14 programs pending review,

00:11:35.820 HHS freezing some child care payments

00:11:38.120 and requiring more verification of applicants,

00:11:41.080 the Small Business Administration

00:11:43.440 suspending nearly 7,000 borrowers

00:11:46.220 from federal loan programs,

00:11:48.220 the Agriculture Department

00:11:49.600 requiring additional verification

00:11:51.400 of food stamp applicants,

00:11:53.300 the DOJ creating a new senior position

00:11:55.760 dedicated to prosecuting fraud,

00:11:58.020 and Treasury investigating

00:11:59.800 four money transfer firms for fraud,

00:12:02.400 auditing certain banks for money laundering,

00:12:04.940 and through the IRS,

00:12:06.740 investigating nonprofits

00:12:07.960 for alleged fraud during COVID,

00:12:10.300 just to name a few.

00:12:11.620 Congresswoman Omar,

00:12:13.400 who represents Minneapolis

00:12:14.620 and is herself a Somali immigrant,

00:12:17.400 telling CBS

00:12:18.040 the fraud problem is real

00:12:19.620 while taking issue

00:12:20.800 with the Trump administration's

00:12:22.060 approach to dealing with it,

00:12:23.560 you know,

00:12:23.980 by actually arresting criminals.

00:12:26.400 Are you confident

00:12:27.280 that the fraud

00:12:28.180 that has been discovered

00:12:29.320 is no longer

00:12:30.480 being conducted now?

00:12:32.000 Is there any justification

00:12:33.100 for saying

00:12:33.920 this food stamp money

00:12:34.920 is somehow being misused?

00:12:36.540 Yeah,

00:12:36.720 there are ways

00:12:37.420 to investigate fraud,

00:12:39.020 which we have been doing

00:12:40.080 in Minnesota,

00:12:40.820 which the federal government

00:12:41.780 has been doing

00:12:42.600 under the Biden administration.

00:12:44.240 There is no reason

00:12:46.020 for them to use

00:12:47.060 this level of rhetoric.

00:12:48.660 There is no reason

00:12:49.460 for them to fully stop

00:12:51.120 these funding,

00:12:52.680 these programs.

00:12:53.720 The only reason

00:12:54.640 they are doing that

00:12:55.640 is for PR purposes,

00:12:57.520 and it is harming our state.

00:13:00.500 It is harming my constituents,

00:13:02.160 and it is creating

00:13:04.060 the kind of chaos

00:13:05.040 and confusion

00:13:05.880 that no one needs

00:13:07.140 in this moment.

00:13:07.760 Treasury Secretary Scott Besant

00:13:09.780 traveling to Minnesota

00:13:10.780 last week

00:13:11.380 for a first-hand look

00:13:12.660 at the operations underway.

00:13:14.460 Secretary Besant

00:13:15.200 telling Fox Thursday

00:13:16.360 that in addition

00:13:17.240 to the fraud crackdown

00:13:18.360 on wrongdoers,

00:13:19.680 Treasury will soon

00:13:20.660 offer financial rewards

00:13:22.100 to whistleblowers.

00:13:23.660 Look, 0.98

00:13:24.180 we know that these rats 0.99

00:13:25.520 will turn on each other. 0.99

00:13:26.840 We heard today

00:13:27.840 that one of the people

00:13:30.040 who has been convicted

00:13:31.160 of fraud,

00:13:32.060 she was given $200,000

00:13:33.640 to bribe a juror, 0.91

00:13:35.000 and she was so corrupt, 0.76

00:13:36.680 she skimmed $80,000 0.84

00:13:37.920 of it and only tried

00:13:39.520 to give a $120,000 bribe.

00:13:41.420 So we are going

00:13:42.780 to offer whistleblower

00:13:45.020 payments to anyone

00:13:47.060 who wants to tell us

00:13:48.380 who, what, when, where,

00:13:50.220 and how this fraud

00:13:51.680 has been done,

00:13:52.540 and I think that

00:13:53.480 that will give us

00:13:54.720 a great leap forward

00:13:56.220 on how to get it done.

00:13:58.940 Coming up,

00:14:00.000 U.S. foreign policy

00:14:01.060 heating up across

00:14:01.980 both hemispheres

00:14:02.940 as President Trump

00:14:03.980 reportedly weighs

00:14:04.780 a number of possible

00:14:05.960 military options

00:14:07.180 from Iran to Greenland

00:14:09.380 and the final showdown

00:14:11.200 in college football playoffs

00:14:12.840 set for next week.

00:14:21.160 So, I can safely say

00:14:22.780 that at times,

00:14:23.960 many of us feel

00:14:24.720 at some point in our day

00:14:25.660 sluggish, bloated,

00:14:27.080 or not quite ourselves.

00:14:28.780 Modern life is hard.

00:14:30.100 Processed foods,

00:14:31.040 too little sleep,

00:15:34.740 U.S. foreign policy

00:15:36.160 accelerating

00:15:36.800 on multiple fronts.

00:15:38.560 American airstrikes

00:15:39.580 against ISIS

00:15:40.520 in Syria,

00:15:41.880 mounting pressure

00:15:42.580 on the Iranian regime,

00:15:44.520 and President Trump

00:15:45.460 reportedly ordering up

00:15:46.680 military plans

00:15:47.780 to invade Greenland.

00:15:49.960 On Saturday,

00:15:50.720 the U.S. Air Force

00:15:51.540 carrying out

00:15:52.100 a large-scale strike

00:15:53.600 in Syria,

00:15:54.660 hitting more than

00:15:55.220 35 targets,

00:15:56.160 including weapons caches,

00:15:57.780 supply routes,

00:15:58.880 and other ISIS-tied

00:15:59.960 infrastructure,

00:16:01.140 Central Command spokesman

00:16:02.440 Captain Timothy Hawkins

00:16:03.880 tells the New York Times.

00:16:05.520 Quote,

00:16:05.800 The strikes today

00:16:06.520 targeted ISIS

00:16:07.380 throughout Syria

00:16:08.240 as part of our

00:16:08.900 ongoing commitment

00:16:09.780 to root out

00:16:10.900 Islamic terrorism

00:16:11.840 against our warfighters,

00:16:13.540 prevent future attacks,

00:16:14.960 and protect American

00:16:15.880 and partner forces

00:16:16.940 in the region.

00:16:18.200 The latest wave

00:16:18.900 of attacks,

00:16:19.620 coming after another

00:16:20.620 large-scale strike

00:16:21.640 in mid-December

00:16:22.540 that was in retaliation

00:16:24.140 for an ISIS ambush

00:16:25.720 that killed two U.S. soldiers

00:16:27.360 and a civilian interpreter.

00:16:29.460 President Trump

00:16:30.040 also weighing

00:16:30.760 potential U.S. involvement

00:16:31.880 in Iran

00:16:32.680 amid ongoing

00:16:33.900 civilian protests

00:16:34.940 against the theocratic regime.

00:16:37.400 Protests began

00:16:38.160 in Iran

00:16:38.740 on December 28th

00:16:40.240 following the collapse

00:16:41.100 of the Iranian currency,

00:16:42.900 reports the AP,

00:16:43.980 as international sanctions

00:16:45.240 squeezed the economy.

00:16:46.860 The intensity

00:16:47.460 of the demonstrations

00:16:48.460 ramping up

00:16:49.240 in recent days

00:16:49.960 as some Iranian protesters

00:16:51.720 turn their attention

00:16:52.860 directly on the Ayatollah,

00:16:54.960 chanting, quote, 0.95

00:16:55.640 death to the dictator 0.99

00:16:56.840 in the streets. 0.52

00:16:58.400 Earlier this month,

00:16:59.240 President Trump

00:16:59.800 posting to Truth Social,

00:17:01.180 quote,

00:17:01.840 if Iran shoots 1.00

00:17:02.700 and violently kills 0.99

00:17:03.700 peaceful protesters, 0.96

00:17:04.920 which is their custom,

00:17:06.380 the United States of America

00:17:07.520 will come to their rescue.

00:17:09.120 We are locked

00:17:09.680 and loaded

00:17:10.100 and ready to go.

00:17:11.540 Mr. Trump

00:17:12.020 following up

00:17:12.620 in a Saturday post,

00:17:13.820 quote,

00:17:14.360 Iran is looking 0.99

00:17:15.200 at freedom,

00:17:16.460 perhaps like never before.

00:17:17.740 The USA

00:17:18.620 stands ready to help.

00:17:20.760 The BBC reports

00:17:21.780 that it counted

00:17:22.560 180 body bags

00:17:24.500 in footage

00:17:25.080 from a morgue

00:17:25.880 near Tehran.

00:17:27.180 One source

00:17:27.640 telling the BBC,

00:17:28.680 quote,

00:17:28.920 it's like a war zone.

00:17:30.380 The streets

00:17:30.880 are full of blood.

00:17:32.760 The Wall Street Journal

00:17:33.440 reporting President Trump

00:17:34.580 is set to meet

00:17:35.300 on Tuesday

00:17:35.880 with senior officials,

00:17:37.520 including Secretary

00:17:38.240 of State Marco Rubio,

00:17:39.620 Secretary of War

00:17:40.500 Pete Hegseth,

00:17:41.540 and Joint Chiefs Chair

00:17:42.660 Dan Raisin-Cain.

00:17:44.400 Last night

00:17:44.860 from Air Force One,

00:17:45.880 President Trump

00:17:46.420 saying Iran 0.77

00:17:47.240 is crossing his,

00:17:48.440 quote,

00:17:48.920 red line.

00:17:49.640 There seem to be

00:17:50.760 some people killed

00:17:51.680 that aren't supposed

00:17:52.880 to be killed, 0.80

00:17:53.660 but we're looking 0.99

00:17:54.260 at it very seriously.

00:17:55.560 The military

00:17:55.960 is looking at it,

00:17:57.720 and we're looking

00:17:58.840 at some very strong options.

00:18:01.340 President Trump

00:18:02.120 also saying

00:18:02.940 the Iranians

00:18:03.620 are now ready

00:18:04.380 to negotiate,

00:18:05.660 but that the U.S.

00:18:06.480 may have to,

00:18:07.260 quote,

00:18:07.520 act before a meeting

00:18:09.000 is set up.

00:18:10.560 U.S. officials

00:18:11.240 will reportedly

00:18:11.960 brief the president

00:18:12.780 on options,

00:18:13.640 including, quote,

00:18:14.420 boosting anti-government

00:18:15.760 sources online,

00:18:17.240 deploying secretive

00:18:18.320 cyberweapons

00:18:19.160 against Iranian 0.99

00:18:19.900 military and civilian sites,

00:18:21.960 placing more sanctions

00:18:22.840 on the regime

00:18:23.760 and military strikes.

00:18:26.140 Mr. Trump

00:18:26.660 is not expected

00:18:27.240 to make any final decisions

00:18:28.500 on Tuesday,

00:18:29.480 the journal reports,

00:18:30.420 as discussions

00:18:31.020 are at an early stage.

00:18:33.120 But with Trump,

00:18:34.120 you never know.

00:18:35.640 Meanwhile,

00:18:36.140 the Daily Mail

00:18:36.660 reporting President Trump

00:18:37.640 has ordered

00:18:38.120 special operations commanders

00:18:39.540 to draw up

00:18:40.580 contingency plans

00:18:41.660 tied to Greenland.

00:18:43.340 The president

00:18:43.820 ramping up

00:18:44.420 his years-long push

00:18:45.740 to acquire

00:18:46.400 the semi-autonomous

00:18:47.640 Danish island territory,

00:18:49.660 citing national security

00:18:50.760 concerns amid

00:18:51.500 the growing presence

00:18:52.320 of China and Russia

00:18:53.580 in the Arctic.

00:18:54.860 According to the report,

00:18:55.900 Deputy Chief of Staff

00:18:56.880 Stephen Miller

00:18:57.580 is driving the push

00:18:58.580 for swift action,

00:19:00.060 emboldened by the recent

00:19:01.140 successful U.S. military

00:19:02.560 operation

00:19:03.220 that led to the capture

00:19:04.480 of former Venezuelan leader

00:19:05.780 Nicolas Maduro.

00:19:07.220 The prospect of U.S. 0.94

00:19:08.460 control over Greenland,

00:19:09.960 including the possible use

00:19:11.100 of military force

00:19:11.920 to make it happen,

00:19:13.120 sending shockwaves

00:19:14.220 through the NATO alliance.

00:19:15.580 Danish Prime Minister

00:19:17.320 Mette Frederiksen

00:19:18.440 warning last week,

00:19:19.680 quote,

00:19:20.180 if the U.S.

00:19:20.840 chooses to attack

00:19:21.560 another NATO country

00:19:22.680 militarily,

00:19:23.840 then everything stops.

00:19:25.600 The Telegraph

00:19:26.200 reporting UK officials

00:19:27.420 now coordinating

00:19:28.320 with German

00:19:29.060 and French counterparts,

00:19:30.900 drawing up plans

00:19:31.620 to expand NATO forces

00:19:33.180 on Greenland

00:19:34.080 as a deterrent

00:19:35.400 against China

00:19:36.400 and Russia

00:19:37.060 in the Arctic.

00:19:38.200 This is a way

00:19:38.820 of assuaging

00:19:39.500 U.S. concerns.

00:19:41.260 The Telegraph

00:19:41.800 reporting the EU

00:19:42.820 is weighing

00:19:43.460 possible sanctions

00:19:44.480 on U.S. companies

00:19:45.400 if President Trump

00:19:46.740 rejects NATO proposals,

00:19:48.880 including possible

00:19:49.740 restrictions

00:19:50.240 on American tech companies

00:19:51.700 and financial institutions.

00:19:54.140 U.S. officials

00:19:54.860 are also discussing

00:19:55.960 the possibility

00:19:56.640 of offering

00:19:57.360 direct payments

00:19:58.300 to Greenlanders,

00:19:59.720 encouraging support

00:20:00.700 for independence

00:20:01.560 from Denmark

00:20:02.360 with a chance

00:20:03.220 of joining the U.S.,

00:20:04.560 reports Reuters.

00:20:05.940 President Trump

00:20:06.600 last night

00:20:07.220 on Air Force One.

00:20:08.580 Greenland should

00:20:09.260 make the deal

00:20:09.840 because Greenland

00:20:10.660 does not want to see

00:20:11.620 Russia or China

00:20:12.720 take over.

00:20:13.340 They don't go there.

00:20:14.960 It's very far away

00:20:15.760 from Greenland

00:20:16.400 and Greenland

00:20:17.360 basically their defense

00:20:18.720 is two dog sleds.

00:20:19.940 Do you know that?

00:20:20.900 Do you know what

00:20:21.260 their defense is?

00:20:22.620 Two dog sleds.

00:20:24.000 We're talking about

00:20:24.820 acquiring,

00:20:25.520 not leasing,

00:20:26.720 not having it

00:20:27.360 short term.

00:20:28.200 We're talking about

00:20:28.780 acquiring.

00:20:29.940 And if we don't do it,

00:20:32.780 Russia or China will 0.96

00:20:34.020 and that's not going

00:20:34.820 to happen

00:20:35.300 when I'm president.

00:20:36.860 Secretary Rubio,

00:20:37.980 who has said

00:20:38.480 the president's desire

00:20:39.560 is to purchase Greenland,

00:20:41.440 set to meet

00:20:42.060 with his Danish counterpart

00:20:43.140 this week

00:20:43.880 to discuss

00:20:44.560 the island's future.

00:20:46.080 That ought to be fun.

00:20:48.320 The championship

00:20:49.380 is set.

00:20:50.620 The top-ranked

00:20:51.520 Indiana Hoosiers

00:20:52.460 will face the

00:20:53.260 number 10

00:20:53.900 Miami Hurricanes

00:20:55.120 next week

00:20:55.780 in the college

00:20:56.640 football playoffs.

00:20:58.100 The Hoosiers

00:20:58.600 are the breakout

00:20:59.580 sensation this season,

00:21:01.380 one game away

00:21:02.160 from the possibility

00:21:02.980 of finishing out

00:21:03.900 the season undefeated.

00:21:05.780 At the center

00:21:06.320 of it all,

00:21:07.120 Heisman Trophy

00:21:07.820 winning quarterback

00:21:08.680 Fernando Mendoza,

00:21:09.960 with his earnest,

00:21:11.480 often viral,

00:21:12.460 post-game interviews,

00:21:14.080 including this moment

00:21:15.020 immediately after

00:21:15.960 Friday's 56-22

00:21:18.140 win against Oregon,

00:21:20.080 sealing the Hoosiers

00:21:20.900 spot in the championship.

00:21:22.720 First of all,

00:21:23.360 I want to give

00:21:23.620 all the glory to God.

00:21:25.000 I mean,

00:21:25.260 the defense played

00:21:25.920 fantastic,

00:21:26.520 28 points off

00:21:27.380 of turnovers.

00:21:28.360 The Hoggies,

00:21:29.000 always spectacular.

00:21:30.660 And the man above,

00:21:31.940 up above,

00:21:32.740 did so much for us today

00:21:33.860 and has helped myself

00:21:34.700 and our entire team

00:21:35.760 play such a high level.

00:21:37.200 I couldn't have done

00:21:37.680 this without God.

00:21:38.320 And this is just

00:21:39.180 such a great opportunity

00:21:39.820 for my entire team.

00:21:41.480 Like Pat Kugin said,

00:21:42.700 we're a bunch of misfits.

00:21:43.920 There's zero five stars

00:21:44.760 on our team.

00:21:45.700 We're just a bunch

00:21:46.540 of gritty guys

00:21:47.440 who are glued together

00:21:48.320 and going towards

00:21:49.260 a Tom and goal,

00:21:50.280 which is a win

00:21:50.900 every each and single game.

00:21:53.360 In a post-game presser,

00:21:54.680 Mendoza offering insight

00:21:56.000 into the team philosophy

00:21:57.260 he says has led

00:21:58.460 to their incredible season.

00:22:00.700 Yeah,

00:22:00.880 I would say delayed gratification

00:22:02.080 is a concept that,

00:22:03.300 you know,

00:22:04.140 was brought up by stoicism

00:22:05.820 and by the Stoics.

00:22:06.580 And I think it's one

00:22:07.080 of the greatest attributes.

00:22:09.840 If you're able to have

00:22:10.520 delayed gratification

00:22:11.580 and discipline in yourself

00:22:12.980 and discipline in your process

00:22:13.900 and preparation,

00:22:15.060 you're able to execute

00:22:15.820 every single week

00:22:16.700 like, you know,

00:22:17.720 this play or this game

00:22:19.300 is the national championship game.

00:22:20.800 Like this game

00:22:21.500 is the most important thing.

00:22:22.620 And so I think

00:22:23.100 that a lot of players

00:22:23.700 and a lot of coaches

00:22:24.360 and just everybody

00:22:25.280 in Bloomington

00:22:25.680 has done a great job

00:22:26.580 of upholding that concept

00:22:28.600 of delayed gratification

00:22:29.740 and discipline

00:22:30.420 throughout all aspects

00:22:31.520 of our lives

00:22:32.080 when there's a lot

00:22:32.520 of distractions

00:22:33.000 and, you know,

00:22:34.340 especially with the

00:22:34.680 Big Ten championship

00:22:35.340 and, you know,

00:22:36.160 the Heisman

00:22:36.580 and all the other things.

00:22:37.560 I think our team

00:22:37.920 has done a great job

00:22:38.640 of keeping that

00:22:39.660 delayed gratification

00:22:40.480 at the forefront.

00:22:41.720 One week from today,

00:22:42.660 Mendoza will lead his team

00:22:43.940 against the Hurricanes

00:22:45.080 who come into the championship
