00:00:00.120 Martha listens to her favourite band all the time.

00:00:30.000 Good morning, everyone. I'm Megan Kelly.

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
00:01:24.020 championship teams are set, featuring one of the most unique star players in years.

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.
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.
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.
00:09:15.660 Saying this officer's a murderer is dangerous.
00:09:19.420 It's just ridiculous.
00:09:20.480 It's just gonna infuriate people more,
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,
00:09:41.580 they're the Nazis.
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.
00:10:00.180 That empowers them to do stupid things.
00:10:04.260 The recent federal surge into Minnesota
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,
00:13:24.180 we know that these rats
00:13:25.520 will turn on each other.
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,
00:13:35.000 and she was so corrupt,
00:13:36.680 she skimmed $80,000
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,
00:16:55.640 death to the dictator
00:16:56.840 in the streets.
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
00:17:02.700 and violently kills
00:17:03.700 peaceful protesters,
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
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
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,
00:17:53.660 but we're looking
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
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.
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
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
00:22:46.620 with 13 wins
00:22:48.020 and two losses.
00:22:49.680 Miami beating Ole Miss
00:22:50.820 31-27 last Thursday
00:22:52.700 in a dramatic
00:22:53.680 come-from-behind victory.

00:22:58.600 with just 24 seconds
00:23:00.440 left on the clock
00:23:01.300 in the fourth quarter.
00:23:02.320 The national title
00:23:03.700 set for 7.30 p.m.
00:23:05.400 East next Monday.
