00:00:00.260 Okay, Greenland, let's talk about Greenland.
00:00:02.780 Trump announced his framework for Greenland deal.
00:00:05.360 Won't say if U.S. ownership still needed.
00:00:08.940 Okay, so check this out when they're going through this.
00:00:11.960 The position changed a few times at Davos, okay?
00:00:15.380 But here's a president with a tweet.
00:00:16.800 Based upon a very productive meeting I had
00:00:18.600 with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Ruddy,
00:00:22.700 we have formed the framework of a future deal
00:00:26.080 with respect of Greenland and, in fact,
00:00:27.600 the entire Arctic region, this solution if consummated
00:00:31.220 will be a great one for the United States of America
00:00:33.820 and all NATO nations.
00:00:34.900 Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing
00:00:37.720 the tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect
00:00:39.700 on February 1st.
00:00:40.920 Additional discussions are being held
00:00:42.540 concerning the Golden Dome as it pertained to Greenland.
00:00:45.860 Further information will be made available
00:00:47.300 as discussion progresses, and he's got the rest that's there.
00:00:51.000 This was a topic of discussion, Rob.
00:00:53.020 I don't know what clips you have on this from Davos.
00:00:57.200 There was multiple, multiple conversations.
00:00:59.780 So, you know, is this him talking about it?
00:01:03.120 This is him explaining why we need Greenland
00:01:06.900 because of what happened in World War II.
00:01:08.100 Go ahead, Rob. Go ahead.
00:01:09.160 We saw this in World War II when Denmark fell to Germany
00:01:13.820 after just six hours of fighting
00:01:16.660 and was totally unable to defend either itself or Greenland.
00:01:20.940 So the United States was then compelled.
00:01:25.060 We did it.
00:01:25.620 We felt an obligation to do it,
00:01:27.460 to send our own forces to hold the Greenland territory.
00:01:32.520 And hold it, we did, at great cost and expense.
00:01:36.320 They didn't have a chance of getting on it,
00:01:39.200 and they tried.
00:01:41.240 Denmark knows that.
00:01:42.520 We literally set up bases on Greenland for Denmark.
00:01:47.940 We fought for Denmark.
00:01:49.560 We weren't fighting for anyone else.
00:01:51.120 We were fighting to save it for Denmark.
00:01:55.100 Big, beautiful piece of ice.
00:01:57.420 It's hard to call it land.
00:01:58.520 It's our big piece of ice.
00:02:01.060 But we saved Greenland
00:02:02.180 and successfully prevented our enemies
00:02:04.980 from gaining a foothold in our hemisphere.
00:02:08.340 So we did it for ourselves also.
00:02:11.140 And then after the war, which we won,
00:02:14.280 we won it big without us.
00:02:17.060 Right now, you'd all be speaking German
00:02:19.000 and a little Japanese, perhaps.
00:02:23.080 After the war, we gave Greenland back to Denmark.
00:02:28.540 How stupid were we to do that?
00:02:31.100 But we did it.
00:02:32.820 But we gave it back.
00:02:34.660 But how ungrateful are they now?
00:02:36.700 So now our country and the world
00:02:41.240 face much greater risks than it did ever before
00:02:44.300 because of missiles, because of nuclear,
00:02:47.820 because of weapons of warfare
00:02:49.780 that I can't even talk about.
00:02:50.380 Stop it right there.
00:02:51.600 Okay, Tom, I'm going to come to you first.
00:02:53.080 Your thoughts on this
00:02:53.820 and the advancement they're making.
00:02:55.520 So he's making a very good point.
00:02:57.520 And by the way, I've said this before.
00:02:59.180 I'm going to say it again.
00:03:00.220 The reason you're not hearing hard criticism
00:03:03.180 from the Department of Defense
00:03:04.940 is in Germany and in the UK
00:03:07.120 because those are anchors of NATO
00:03:08.940 and they understand what's needed.
00:03:12.200 And by the way, if you take a look at a map
00:03:14.000 and you look where Finland is,
00:03:15.700 Murmansk is right next door to the Finland border.
00:03:19.060 And that is where the USSR,
00:03:21.900 you know, built the base.
00:03:24.160 Now we know it as Russia.
00:03:25.540 But when the Soviet Union and everything was there,
00:03:27.980 these things were built.
00:03:29.440 Murmansk is where all of the nuclear subs are.
00:03:32.640 And it's literally, literally less than 100 miles
00:03:36.740 from the Finland border there.
00:03:39.180 And so you, up at the Arctic Circle.
00:03:42.140 So there is a need, a deep, deep need
00:03:46.380 for Greenland to be positioned and equipped
00:03:50.760 as a strategic defense source.
00:03:53.140 And if you also just look at the map of Greenland,
00:03:56.380 when you talk about a dome for North America,
00:03:58.980 and by the way, NORAD protects Canada,
00:04:01.300 Canada and its 2.3 trillion GDP,
00:04:06.240 which is less than half of California,
00:04:08.500 Greenland is an important piece
00:04:10.700 of the North American Dome against Russian missiles.
00:04:15.360 And by the way, if you look at the East Coast,
00:04:19.420 right by Iceland, look how well that's positioned
00:04:22.660 to help provide defense of missiles and Navy
00:04:27.840 to Northern Atlantic area.
00:04:31.520 You know, Northern Atlantic,
00:04:32.840 as in the Northern Atlantic Treaty Organization,
00:04:35.820 known as NATO.
00:04:36.780 This is strategic.
00:04:38.040 And I think that what people need to understand,
00:04:41.580 it's not about the minerals,
00:04:43.480 although they just said that they'd be happy
00:04:45.100 to do a mineral deal yesterday.
00:04:46.520 They said it.
00:04:47.400 There's no argument on that now.
00:04:49.040 It is strategic for defense.
00:04:52.020 And every time there's naval exercises up there,
00:04:55.340 Denmark doesn't have the money to pay for it.
00:04:58.200 So Denmark, you know what?
00:05:01.080 The days of colonialism are over.
00:05:03.640 No one's going to militarily take this.
00:05:05.580 We need a deal done for the defense of our hemisphere
00:05:10.480 and to support NATO.
00:05:12.700 And Trump, as a leader,
00:05:14.140 is walking through this mosh pit of criticism
00:05:17.640 from people that are politicizing it
00:05:20.200 and they're not paying attention to where Russia is
00:05:23.320 and the strategic importance of defending the West.
00:05:26.900 Vinny.
00:05:27.220 Well, Rob, can you put up that chart I sent you on Slack?
00:05:30.980 Look at, like, this is where Greenland is.
00:05:33.840 It's like the crossroads of North America, Europe, and the Arctic.
00:05:37.260 Tom, you made a great point.
00:05:38.100 They do have, like, look at where the Russia bases are.
00:05:40.660 There's a Pitufik space base right there.
00:05:44.840 This is, and by the way,
00:05:45.620 the melting ice is opening the shorter Asia-Europe shipping routes.
00:05:49.340 So it's boosting the region's military and economic importance.
00:05:51.680 But look, it's missile early warning systems.
00:05:56.220 You nailed it.
00:05:57.040 It's about deterrence.
00:05:58.040 It's about supply chain security.
00:05:59.460 And listen, I want a president that's going on offense.
00:06:03.240 We're not playing defense.
00:06:04.180 He's not sitting around twirling his thumbs.
00:06:05.920 I absolutely love the move.
00:06:07.520 And when you saw that chart that you did earlier,
00:06:09.880 how big of a gap having that?
00:06:11.920 And I love that the news is making, like,
00:06:13.700 we're going to come in, we're going to invade and take over.
00:06:16.640 No, it's a deal.
00:06:18.100 We need you.
00:06:18.880 You're going to make money.
00:06:19.820 So I think it has to happen.
00:06:21.160 That chart says it all.
00:06:22.060 And by the way, that little box there,
00:06:23.540 you've got a great chart you pulled up, Vinny.
00:06:25.600 Thank you for doing this.
00:06:26.480 It's Juk, Greenland, Iceland, UK gap.
00:06:30.220 That is incredibly strategic.
00:06:32.660 That's where the nuke subs come and go.
00:06:34.540 Weird.
00:06:35.020 And that first dot on the right-hand side,
00:06:38.160 where that arrow comes down,
00:06:39.860 that is Finland, Russia border, and that's Mermatsk.
00:06:43.920 And that is the equivalent of their Groton, Connecticut,
00:06:48.600 because that's where we launch all of our nuclear subs from.
00:06:52.160 Adam.
00:06:53.120 Yeah.
00:06:54.120 Trump's going to take Greenland.
00:06:55.460 That's all I've got to say.
00:06:57.920 I don't know how he's going to do it.
00:06:59.720 I don't know when he's going to do it.
00:07:01.120 I don't know what's going to happen.
00:07:02.760 But much like the Godfather movie,
00:07:04.680 we're going to make him an offer they can't refuse.
00:07:07.220 They're not going to refuse this.
00:07:08.780 How many people live in Greenland?
00:07:10.100 56,000.
00:07:11.320 That's an NFL Sunday football stadium
00:07:13.420 just emptying out with footballs and pads
00:07:17.040 and just taking over Greenland.
00:07:19.040 Nobody's scared of Greenland.
00:07:20.060 By the way, everyone now has an opinion on Greenland.
00:07:22.460 Trump does these things and makes people,
00:07:24.860 oh, why would we do Greenland?
00:07:26.720 You've never thought of Greenland.
00:07:29.120 You've never heard of Greenland.
00:07:30.800 Tell me one artist in Greenland.
00:07:32.620 Tell me one movie.
00:07:34.080 Tell me one cultural phenomenon.
00:07:36.000 Nobody knows about Greenland.
00:07:37.920 Now, if Trump and grownups are saying,
00:07:39.920 we need this land for minerals, for protection,
00:07:44.020 for defense, for blocking China and blocking Russia,
00:07:48.120 we're going to take Greenland.
00:07:49.540 That's it.
00:07:50.540 Efren, do you have any opinions on this?
00:07:52.160 Yeah, so I agree with Vinny.
00:07:53.800 We now have a president that's actually looking ahead,
00:07:56.960 decades ahead versus just the next four-year terms, right?
00:08:01.240 So I love what he's doing.
00:08:03.060 And like Adam said, if he didn't mention Greenland,
00:08:06.420 no one else would be talking about Greenland.
00:08:07.920 Yeah, I love it.
00:08:09.700 And I love the fact that, you know, yesterday he's like,
00:08:12.400 oh, you know what?
00:08:13.820 Yeah, you know, so since we're part of NATO,
00:08:16.020 this invasion that happened at our border,
00:08:17.880 did you guys come and help us out?
00:08:19.440 When everything that's going on with us,
00:08:21.300 did you guys come and support us for anything?
00:08:23.540 Maybe we should have put NATO to the test,
00:08:26.420 invoke Article 5 and force NATO to come here
00:08:28.340 and protect our southern border
00:08:29.560 from further invasion of illegal immigrants,
00:08:32.440 thus freeing up a large number of border patrol agents
00:08:34.640 for other tasks.
00:08:35.780 Maybe we should have.
00:08:36.520 You don't want to do that?
00:08:38.280 Oh, maybe we should leave NATO.
00:08:40.080 Even, you know, there were some talks about
00:08:41.920 what would happen if U.S. left NATO.
00:08:44.880 And they're sitting around saying,
00:08:46.040 no, you can't do that.
00:08:47.640 We need you to protect us.
00:08:49.600 There was the Finnish,
00:08:50.820 the Finland leader is being asked about
00:08:53.580 if Europe can defend itself without America.
00:08:56.980 Look at the answer, folks.
00:08:58.600 And watch how quickly he changes his position.
00:09:02.300 Rob, did we show this on,
00:09:04.240 we haven't shown this yet.
00:09:05.280 Watch this, it's comical,
00:09:07.080 what he says 11 minutes later.
00:09:08.400 Go ahead, Rob.
00:09:08.800 First is a direct answer to the question of this panel,
00:09:11.760 can Europe defend itself?
00:09:13.140 My answer is unequivocally yes.
00:09:15.660 Without the Americans?
00:09:16.900 Without the Americans.
00:09:17.920 I mean...
00:09:18.200 How?
00:09:19.140 Well, look...
00:09:20.180 But you're relying on them for these key elements.
00:09:22.740 You've said earlier that Europe can defend itself
00:09:26.320 without the Americans.
00:09:27.740 If it comes down...
00:09:29.740 Not exact, Mike.
00:09:31.580 That's not a quote.
00:09:33.240 Yes, it is.
00:09:34.520 More or less.
00:09:35.500 More or less.
00:09:36.640 Let's...
00:09:37.200 We'll go back to the transcript.
00:09:38.180 Let's stick to the left in this one.
00:09:39.960 More or less.
00:09:40.700 More or less.
00:09:41.540 11 minutes later.
00:09:43.340 I love journalists.
00:09:44.260 You don't need journalists.
00:09:45.480 It's stupid.
00:09:46.340 Can you imagine somebody texted him and says,
00:09:48.900 hey, just so you know, we're screwed
00:09:51.280 if America doesn't protect us.
00:09:53.160 Change your tone ASAP, right?
00:09:55.660 Efren, maybe take a minute here
00:09:56.940 and share with the audience
00:09:58.120 how you ended up being on the podcast.
00:10:00.000 So it was during Christmas, like you said,
00:10:02.060 and I ended up...
00:10:03.240 I was going to buy the merch anyway,
00:10:04.720 so I ended up buying two pairs of the shoes
00:10:07.460 and then also the sales classes.
00:10:09.660 I saw a massive discount, so I purchased that.
00:10:12.180 And I actually love what you guys do on the emails.
00:10:14.940 I still get emails right now saying
00:10:16.540 you have not started the courses.
00:10:18.200 Oh, really?
00:10:18.720 Yeah.
00:10:19.040 So when are you starting them?
00:10:20.540 Well, because right now my goal is to improve
00:10:22.780 communication, so I'm taking the course for that.
00:10:24.940 Good.
00:10:25.200 Once that's completed, then I'll jump to that course.
00:10:27.140 I love it.
00:10:27.620 So it's actually following up with you
00:10:28.880 to make sure you do it.
00:10:29.700 Yes, love it.
00:10:30.200 Well, good for the team.
00:10:31.420 Good for you for doing that.
00:10:32.840 When we set out to create a shoe
00:10:34.640 that blends comfort, function, and luxury,
00:10:38.420 we had the choice to make it fast.
00:10:40.740 We had the choice to make it cheap.
00:10:42.700 We chose neither.
00:10:44.320 Instead, we chose Tuscaneiro.
00:10:46.660 We chose true Italian craftsmanship.
00:10:49.280 Each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
00:10:51.620 We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail,
00:10:56.000 and we chose the finest quality at every step.
00:10:59.760 Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
00:11:03.200 Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary.
00:11:07.480 Rather intentional, luxurious, timeless.
