00:00:43.580 The president is... Mark Carney made a comment about America.
00:00:48.040 I don't know if you saw that or not. He said a couple things about America.
00:00:51.240 And then the president comes out. Rob, if you want to...
00:00:54.600 Let's play what the president said first and then we'll go to Carney.
00:00:57.460 Here's the president. Doesn't hold back. 19 seconds.
00:01:01.680 Here's how he responds to Canada. Go ahead, Rob.
00:01:04.020 Canada gets a lot of freebies from us.
00:01:06.180 By the way, they should be grateful also, but they're not.
00:01:08.640 I watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasn't so grateful.
00:01:12.820 But they should be grateful to us.
00:01:15.160 Canada lives because of the United States.
00:01:18.600 Let's remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements.
00:01:23.100 Canada...
00:01:23.380 Canada gets...
00:01:24.320 Can you imagine that calling like Canada the way he did?
00:01:26.120 By the way, do you... Rob, do you have the carny comment or no?
00:01:29.740 Yes.
00:01:31.560 Do you have what he said about America?
00:01:34.460 Yeah, go ahead.
00:01:36.300 Direct.
00:01:36.540 We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition.
00:01:41.260 Over the past two decades, a series of crises in finance, health, energy and geopolitics
00:01:46.600 have laid bare the risks of extreme global integration.
00:01:50.360 But more recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons.
00:01:56.560 Tariffs as leverage.
00:01:57.920 Financial infrastructure as coercion.
00:01:59.820 Supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited.
00:02:02.600 You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes
00:02:10.500 the source of your subordination.
00:02:13.520 Tom.
00:02:16.260 That is the most disingenuous comments that I believe Mark Carney could have possibly made.
00:02:23.440 They sound educationally eloquent.
00:02:26.060 They sound high-minded.
00:02:28.040 But let me remind Mark Carney.
00:02:29.640 He says, when President Trump says that Canada lives because of us, NORAD, we are using NORAD
00:02:38.440 to provide protection for Canada.
00:02:40.540 As recently as 15 years ago, Canada sounded the alarm on Arctic military threat from Russia.
00:02:47.780 Who's providing not a dome, a golden dome at this point, but who's providing NORAD support?
00:02:54.080 We are, through northern states that are on the border of Canada, have advanced systems in them
00:03:03.020 and advanced air force bases that are out there to protect.
00:03:06.980 So NORAD, we're protecting that.
00:03:09.180 Canada is smaller than California's economy.
00:03:11.660 So I find it very, very disingenuous that that yapping poodle can sit there and nibble at the
00:03:19.760 ankle of the giant that is giving him safety, security, and economic stability.
00:03:25.920 Remember, it was them that stopped their truck at the leadership of Canada that stopped truckers
00:03:31.400 exercising freedom of speech in the snow and then cut off their banking.
00:03:36.260 That was your country, Mark Carney.
00:03:38.420 And so when Mark Carney wants to talk like this, it's completely disingenuous.
00:03:42.520 Oh, look at what you're doing with tariffs.
00:03:44.000 Look at what you're doing here.
00:03:45.260 May I remind him that he had longstanding tariffs that were disadvantageous to businesses in the United States
00:03:52.240 doing business with Canada.
00:03:53.840 And Trump said some of those have been in place for 20 years.
00:03:56.640 It's time to unplug them.
00:03:58.000 So I find that he can sit there and speak to the cheering mob at Davos.
00:04:02.980 But Mark Carney, that was disingenuous, that was just so, I think, that was not the statesman
00:04:10.440 of North America that wants to talk about NAFTA treaties again.
00:04:14.380 That's you.
00:04:15.260 And you're going to go and speak this way?
00:04:17.040 Very disappointing.
00:04:18.300 And I'm glad that the president called it back out.
00:04:20.880 And the less words, the better.
00:04:22.800 And I thought that that was an appropriate call out.
00:04:25.360 But by the way, if you didn't like what Mark Carney had to say, here's Newsom, Rob.
00:04:29.440 If you want to pull up Newsom, and FYI, better than what Newsom said, did you hear what Besson
00:04:35.160 said about Newsom?
00:04:36.500 Have you heard that yet?
00:04:37.520 Have you heard it yet?
00:04:38.200 I just want to see your, I can't wait for the reaction of you guys.
00:04:41.480 Rob, go ahead and pull what Newsom said and then we'll play Besson's.
00:04:43.820 Go ahead.
00:04:44.660 More disingenuous.
00:04:45.500 For Europeans who are concerned about the messages from the White House around Greenland this week?
00:04:51.180 Yeah.
00:04:51.660 It's time to buck up.
00:04:53.520 It's time to get serious.
00:04:54.840 And stop being complicit.
00:04:58.060 It's time to stand tall and firm.
00:05:00.560 Have a backbone.
00:05:03.100 You know, I've seen this in the United States.
00:05:06.140 The supine Congress playing both sides.
00:05:08.900 You know, saying one thing on a text or a tweet and another publicly.
00:05:12.580 It's time to have principles.
00:05:14.700 It's time to stand tall, strong.
00:05:16.840 Does that mean responding to your talents?
00:05:18.020 It's time to stand united.
00:05:19.480 You make that determination.
00:05:20.900 I don't make that determination.
00:05:21.900 But when you say standing tall, what do you mean?
00:05:23.720 Just, I can't take this complicity.
00:05:26.480 People rolling over.
00:05:28.360 I should have brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders.
00:05:32.040 I mean, handing out crowns and handing out...
00:05:34.300 I mean, this is pathetic.
00:05:35.840 Nobel Prizes, they are being given away.
00:05:38.500 I mean, it's just pathetic.
00:05:40.460 And I hope people understand how pathetic they look on the world stage.
00:05:46.040 I mean, at least from an American perspective.
00:05:47.860 It's embarrassing.
00:05:49.000 So what should you have been doing?
00:05:50.320 They, you should decide, the Europeans should decide for themselves what to do.
00:05:54.680 But one thing they can't do is what they've been doing.
00:05:58.500 And they've been playing.
00:06:00.100 This guy is playing folks for fools.
00:06:03.880 And it's embarrassing.
00:06:05.360 Europeans think this is diplomacy and this will ultimately work.
00:06:07.640 Oh, this is diplomacy with Donald Trump?
00:06:09.940 He's a T-Rex.
00:06:11.580 You mate with him or he devours you.
00:06:13.840 One or the other.
00:06:15.020 And you're afraid of a need to stand...
00:06:16.480 No, Europeans could be if they continue to look down this path in the process.
00:06:20.640 They need to stand tall, stand firm, stand united.
00:06:23.680 You can pause it right now.
00:06:24.640 I'm just warning you guys.
00:06:25.760 You're about to fall in love with Besant.
00:06:27.720 I'm just telling you here, in about 80 seconds, you're going to love Besant.
00:06:32.360 Rob, if you have that clip I sent you...
00:06:33.860 We don't love him already.
00:06:34.580 Gavin Newsom said nothing.
00:06:35.460 Is that the clip, Rob, I sent you?
00:06:36.740 Do you know...
00:06:38.580 Is that the one, Rob?
00:06:39.600 I want to make sure you play the right one.
00:06:41.620 Yeah, this is him from...
00:06:43.900 It says holy crap from Eric Doherty?
00:06:48.220 Yep.
00:06:48.680 Okay, go ahead.
00:06:49.360 Watch this.
00:06:53.160 Ironic that Governor Newsom, who strikes me as Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken,
00:06:59.320 may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris.
00:07:04.480 He's here this week with his billionaire sugar daddy, Alex Soros, and Davos is the perfect
00:07:14.060 place for a man who, when everyone else was on lockdown, when he was having people arrested
00:07:19.700 for going to church, he was having $1,000 a night meals at the French Laundry, and I'm
00:07:25.540 sure the California people won't forget that.
00:07:27.680 And I can tell my message to Governor Newsom is the Trump administration is coming to California.
00:07:34.200 We are going to crack down on waste, fraud, and abuse.
00:07:38.060 And I was told he was asked to give a speech on his signature policies, but he's not speaking
00:07:45.080 because what have his economic policies brought?
00:07:47.800 Well, outward migration from California, a gigantic budget deficit, the largest homeless
00:07:54.320 population in America, and the poor folks in the Palisades who had their homes burned
00:08:00.620 down.
00:08:01.320 He is here hobnobbing with the global elite while his California citizens are still homeless.
00:08:10.040 Shame on him.
00:08:10.700 And he is too smug, too self-absorbed, and too economically illiterate to know anything.
00:08:18.460 I mean, listen.
00:08:19.200 Thank you very much.
00:08:19.700 Let me know if you need any further clarification.
00:08:23.380 There.
00:08:24.780 There.
00:08:25.660 There.
00:08:26.260 Further clarification.
00:08:27.780 James, how do you respond to that?
00:08:29.780 It's great.
00:08:30.240 Scott Bestin's done a great job at Treasury.
00:08:32.240 And look, Gavin Newsom, you judge someone by their works.
00:08:36.940 Look at what he's done in California.
00:08:38.260 People have left.
00:08:39.600 You see the poverty.
00:08:40.380 You see what's happening with the regulation in the Palisades.
00:08:42.320 People can't get back to build their homes.
00:08:44.780 This is a failed experiment.
00:08:46.100 And, you know, it was Justice Brandeis in the 1920s who said that the beauty of our federalist
00:08:49.700 system is that each state, California and Florida, could pursue their own experiments
00:08:54.240 and then show the nation which policy set works better.
00:08:58.220 Well, we've seen that Governor DeSantis, our policies here in Florida, work far better than
00:09:03.760 Gavin Newsom's disastrous train wreck in California.
00:09:06.460 Yeah.
00:09:07.040 Tom.
00:09:08.260 Will you, right now, today, will you announce that if Scott Bestin moves from South Carolina
00:09:15.040 to Florida, you'll give him a pass on the $50,000 tax?
00:09:17.860 Proudly.
00:09:18.640 Okay.
00:09:19.200 Proudly.
00:09:19.520 But on the condition that he works with our administration as an economic advisor.
00:09:22.700 Mr. Secretary, you heard it.
00:09:25.160 Well, what I think, I love what Scott Bestin said, because Scott Bestin, usually when you
00:09:30.380 see him on news shows, you see him on interviews, he doesn't use a lot of words and he's very
00:09:34.720 specific.
00:09:35.160 And I think he's absolutely correct.
00:09:37.820 You know, who's in Davos now not speaking?
00:09:41.020 He's not speaking in Davos, but he's there to try and look presidential and to do his stump
00:09:46.160 speeches.
00:09:46.600 But he sits there with a few random reporters that corner him in a hallway while he's wearing
00:09:51.920 a badge that says Gavin Newsom, because there's still people in Davos that don't know who the
00:09:56.220 hell he is and saying nothing.
00:09:59.220 He was saying nothing.
00:10:00.080 Have a backbone.
00:10:00.880 What do you mean by that?
00:10:01.780 That's up for them.
00:10:02.720 That's there.
00:10:03.180 That's up your determination.
00:10:04.320 What do you mean the European countries?
00:10:06.640 No, no, that's up for them to decide.
00:10:08.460 Really, there's a guy with no plan, just looking for a microphone.
00:10:11.160 And then there's Scott Bestin.
00:10:12.420 And I'll say here, in my opinion, I believe Trump, Bestin and Rubio are the best trio that
00:10:19.420 we've had in the history of the United States doing what they're doing.
00:10:22.620 When you look at commerce, you look at foreign policy, you look at what we're having to do
00:10:27.120 and you look at the size of the problems that they're having to solve and the men that
00:10:31.040 are there.
00:10:31.860 That's my opinion.
00:10:33.000 That's what I think.
00:10:33.820 And I think you see leadership, even a little sarcasm with that leadership coming out of
00:10:38.740 Scott Bestin's mouth while he's sitting there talking to global people about solutions and
00:10:44.540 things for tomorrow while you have a guy giving stump speeches in the hallway, having to wear
00:10:49.700 a name tag to random media.
00:10:52.420 Brandon.
00:10:52.620 Yeah, the only thing that Bestin said that I disagree with is that the people of California
00:10:56.580 won't ever forget about what he did because they clearly did forget about what he did along with
00:11:00.340 half of the country right now, which is why he's one of the front runners to be president.
00:11:04.040 So, I mean...
00:11:05.620 He is the front runner by a mile.
00:11:07.340 Yeah, for the Democrats.
00:11:08.320 I mean, it's crazy and scary that people could look at California and see that's not like
00:11:12.760 a shell of what it used to be before.
00:11:14.060 I'm like, it literally looks as if his job was to get into that position and make California
00:11:18.360 as bad as possible with the result of that side.
00:11:21.780 Because it was comparably perfectly fine before he got into office.
00:11:25.980 But I would love to be behind the scenes and see what his strategy sessions are like for
00:11:31.060 crafting his message.
00:11:32.980 Because I feel like he's always trying these moves out where he's trying to say bold things.
00:11:36.620 And I just think he's probably the most insincere person out there in terms of what he shows
00:11:42.700 versus how he actually is.
00:11:43.900 Like, you know, whatever you say about Trump, I think he's 100% of himself all the time.
00:11:47.280 Newsom, I don't think we have any idea who the hell his real personality is.
00:11:50.820 When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury, we had the choice
00:11:57.320 to make it fast.
00:11:58.640 We had the choice to make it cheap.
00:12:00.700 We chose neither.
00:12:02.320 Instead, we chose Tuscaneiro.
00:12:03.980 We chose true Italian craftsmanship, each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
00:12:10.120 We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail, and we chose the finest quality
00:12:15.620 at every step.
00:12:17.520 Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
00:12:21.220 Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary.
00:12:25.480 Rather intentional, luxurious, timeless.
