Good evening.
This is Rudy Giuliani, and this is the Rudy Giuliani show on Lindell TV.
So today is one year.
Today is one year since the inauguration.
You know, I have to say, it doesn't seem like one year.
It doesn't seem like one year.
People Coming Through Borders 00:11:38
It seems like, oh, oh, gosh, doesn't it seem like a lot more than one year?
And maybe it's because he's got so much done.
Maybe it's because the things that were done were so really significant when one thinks about it, right?
That it seems like it's a lot, just a lot longer than we thought.
So there are so many things we could cover in summarizing it.
I thought we'd do the best we can to let him summarize it.
I paid a lot of attention to his talk, took notes and also audiotaped it so that I could reorganize it and try to figure out for you what he thinks are the most important things that he did.
Right?
What did he think?
I mean, we can get a lot of reporters and a lot of other people to tell us what they thought was the most important thing that was done.
But really, let's see what the boss thought.
I mean, the guy who did it, let's see what he thought were the most important things he did.
I mean, so you could, I mean, you could say, you could say taking out Iran's nuclear capacity to, even if you want to say, not completely, but to the largest extent anyone has ever done it.
You could say that, right?
That's a heck of an accomplishment.
People have been threatening that forever and ever and ever.
And haven't done it.
He did it.
And he put them in a spin.
He got Israel and Gaza to stop the all-out war.
So what are they involved now?
They're involved in sniper actions because Hamas will not demilitarize, and they were supposed to.
And in essence, Israel is doing it for them.
Israel is Demilitarizing for them.
That's what we would say, right?
And they're striking back to the extent they can, which is considerably less effective than Israel.
So you could say that was the most important.
You could say that his border.
He did something that no one ever thought could be done.
Now we almost, I don't even think about it.
And that is we were at 15, I'm sorry, 130, 140,000 a month.
About a year with 3.5 million.
I forgot that.
The last month of the year was about 6,000 to 7,000 from 140,000, 150,000.
I think they were all arrested.
So absolutely almost nobody got in.
We had our first net decrease ever.
By that, I mean we lost more people than we gained, which you might say for some countries might be terrible.
But after having an invasion of unknown number of people that could start at a bare minimum of 12 million and get you to 20, and a lot of them are criminals, that's not a bad place to be.
That's a rather good situation to be dealing with.
So, but now I'm going to go through my more careful analysis of this and see what I came up with.
First thing that the first thing that he mentioned when he said it was his one year anniversary of the inauguration.
And will we assume that the first thing is the one that's top of mind?
Now, this speech was kind of written and worked out with everyone, so maybe not.
But the first thing that was mentioned was the border and the border being at virtual zero.
And there were some videos shown of the border, what it was like.
And that in December, in December of this past December, under Donald Trump, there were 6,478 apprehensions, of which a handful got through, I think in the hundreds.
In 23, under Biden and Harris, there were 200,000.
And that was one of his lower months, 200,000.
So we went from, let's round off generously.
We went from 200,000 to 7,000.
And I'm going to guess, I didn't get this number, but I'll get it for you eventually.
About 200,000, about 170,000 came through.
And of that 6,478, if 500 got through, it's a lot.
So massive change, invasion over, invasion under control, major ongoing problem fixed.
The problem we're left with, however, is the four years of the 130, 140,000, 300,000 coming in.
And when people tell you that these people don't commit crimes as much as Americans do, they are dead wrong.
They are repeating an ancient fact.
That statement was a justifiable statement, certainly in the 1980s, which I'm the most familiar with.
Because the people who came in, even with the Mario Boatlift and the Haitian boat people, it was a certain amount of vetting took place.
You couldn't be sure you were going to get in without being checked out.
So the worst of the worst very often didn't come in unless they were sent in very, very specially by someone like Castro, the way Maduro did.
So you ended up with a disproportionate number of people that were coming in then for jobs to work in the vineyards, to work in the farms, to work in the restaurants.
And of course there were people coming in who were criminal.
And of course there were people that are coming in for handouts, but that wasn't necessarily the majority of them.
And we had a lot of crime back then.
So we had our own domestic crime and our own domestic crime, I mean, as a matter of percentages, was in excess of the crime committed by the illegal aliens.
Now, people still raise the issue, why the hell should we have extra crime?
Sure, they don't commit crimes at the same level as the Americans do, but they do commit crimes, and they did.
And they brought in drugs, and they did have human trafficking.
So why should we put up with that?
We have enough problem with our own people.
Why do we have to have this problem from outside people, where it should be a privilege to come into the United States, and we should have some choice over it?
That was a pretty good argument.
Wasn't at the emergency, you're destroying our civilization argument that it became.
Under Biden, there was no vetting.
When I say no vetting, I mean no vetting even of the people who were vetted, if that makes sense.
Here's what I mean by that.
You had people that came in that we never saw, they would never vet it.
You have people that came in that we saw, but we never caught up with, they would never vet it.
You had people that came in in very large numbers, like today we've got 4,000 and we're not getting home until after Christmas.
So we're just going to let them go through.
That happened a lot.
And then you had the vetting.
Where do you come from, Will?
Were you ever in prison?
Ever in mental institute?
They were arrested.
Okay.
Okay.
So any number of, I think 17 of the countries that are some of the primary people sending us people did not give us any information with regard to background checks.
So the five-time murderer and the Catholic priest could come in, and unless the Catholic priest was in his uniform, you couldn't tell the difference because you couldn't check that the guy was a Catholic priest, nor could you check if the guy were a five-time murderer, because Maduro wouldn't tell you, nor would when the communists got into Colombia, the guy in Colombia tell you, or Mexico would screw around with you And would delay.
And they knew the delay got the person in right away because the system was so overloaded.
So when we say we had no vetting, it's really true.
It's really solid, which is why a lot more criminals came in in this flow than in the last.
And when these people tell you without any proof at all that they commit less crimes than the domestics, they're just way off.
And they also commit much more horrendous crimes.
I don't know of an American gang like the MS13 people who chop your head off to get your attention.
Price Pressure Tactics 00:08:20
Muhammad used to do that.
But gangs and, you know, Mafia didn't do that and the Chinese didn't do that and the Irish didn't do that when they had gangs and stuff like that.
So that's what he considers his, I'm not going to say he considers his biggest accomplishment.
When he started listing his accomplishments, that's the first one he said.
Then he said, 62% reduction in trade deficit.
Not 2%, not 3%, not 5%, which would have been something in the old days.
We never had a reduction in our trade deficit.
62% in our trade deficit, and we turned it into a surplus.
made money on trade oh oh i know what happened though I remember now because, you know, I do a lot of reading.
I remember what they said if he raised tariffs.
We were going to have all sorts of inflation, worse than Biden.
it's gonna ruin us um inflation went down Inflation in the last quarter was less than anticipated.
Inflation predicted for next year is going to be slightly less than anticipated, and maybe even a lot more than anticipated.
It's going to be about 2.6.
It was 2.7 this year.
You say, oh, the Fed thinks it should be 2.
Oh, that's.
They're not sure that's right.
We're not sure that's right.
It's a good number.
Is 1.5% better?
I'm not sure.
Might be too weak an economy.
Is 2.5% better than 2%?
Maybe, maybe 3% is better than 2%.
Is 5, 6% better?
No.
Is 9% catastrophic, which was had on the Biden?
No.
So we're in a range where inflation is not a major concern.
We're in a range in which the number is coming down and coming down beyond expectations.
And we're doing that despite the fact that we have made a fortune on tariffs and achieved numerous financial and other substantive objectives.
He considers, I'm trying to count these the way he did, number three, most favored nation.
Now, most favored nation is the agreements.
He worked them out over a period of a couple of agreements.
And you probably noted them if you followed the press conferences in the Oval Office.
Most often, those would be the ones with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and with Dr. McCreary and with Dr. Ross.
And then with all of the all of the heads of the pharmaceutical companies who look like they were being rounded up like the bad boys at a parochial school.
And then Trump and Kennedy in particular would tease with them.
Like, you know, they never thought they'd be sitting at a dinner with them or anything like that.
I mean, these are some of the guys that cheated the hell out of us during COVID.
But man, Trump had him by the, what do we say?
The short hairs.
And he squeezed.
And what does most favored nation mean?
Most favored nation means for the co-op for the cooperating companies that if you buy, oh, let's say Atavastin.
You know what Adivastin is?
Atavastin is a medicine for, I hope I have it right because I take it.
I think it's for high blood pressure.
Oh, my doctor's going to quote me up if I don't know what the, I got one wrong once.
It's for high blood pressure.
I take a small dose.
It keeps my blood pressure reasonably low.
I don't have any side effects from it.
Some people do.
So I was paying the highest price in the world for Adivastin.
And so were all my fellow Americans, because in essence, we fund all the research for the whole world.
You know, these medicine, this isn't just about their making big profits.
It is about that too.
It is about making big profits too.
But it is about another problem of a more substantive nature.
And that is that inventing Atravastin 30 years ago, there now are other versions of Adivastin, and there probably are some that are better, some that are worse.
Please don't get mad at me.
You may be the best.
I'm not sure.
You're just the one that my doctor told me to use.
And my doctor is fabulous.
Valentin Fuster.
He's a.
So now I can go look at the price of Adirvastin because I think they're cooperating.
We're at about 60% of the medicines now, maybe 70%.
Not all.
We're all going to get there.
And I can look and I can say, gee, in Norway, they charge 20 cents a pill and you're charging me $2 a pill.
I'm sorry, you got to charge me 20 cents a pill.
That's the favorite nation cause.
And it's going to mean that they are going to have to do and put some money into the kind of pressure they put on us for prices and whatever.
They're going to have to start investing in the same kind of people in all of those European countries so they can get Europe to start paying their fair share of the $20 billion that it takes to invent Atravastin or whatever the medicine is or $100 million.
I don't remember the numbers, although I did once represent several pharmaceutical companies.
And I do remember the costs are unreal.
I'm not saying that pharmaceutical companies don't do things that are, but I will tell you the costing is real.
Somebody's got to pay for the research.
And it's got to be recouped in the price of the medicine.
And the medicine only has a certain shelf life because it can go generic.
And when it goes generic, it sells for a very, very low price.
It's very hard to recoup the research costs when it's a generic.
So the research costs have to be recouped in a short period of time.
And a lot of the other countries that they deal with have price controls on medicine.
We don't.
We're a more open market, so we were the ones that were paying for everybody.
Now, even though they have price controls, though, they have to negotiate the price with the government.
So what we're doing is we're putting pressure on them to negotiate higher prices with other countries so they pay their fair share of what it takes to invent the miracle or not so miracle medicines.
And that's why he believes that most favored nations is one of the three or so one of the three or so biggest biggest, most important thing that he, in this case with Robert Kennedy Jr., did.
Why We Left English 00:09:06
And I would tend to agree with it.
He then listed designating English as the official language of the United States of America.
Now, I think that's enormously important, always has been, but particularly now to save our civilization.
I mean, if we don't have a common language, we don't have anything.
I mean, we should have a common language, a common constitution, a common Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, and group of values that we agree to and that we love.
And if we don't agree to them and love them, then go somewhere else.
I mean, if you're born here and you don't love them, well, we're stuck with you.
Although, I mean, I really think if you don't love them and you were born here, the world is sufficiently easy to get around.
Why don't you go live somewhere else?
I mean, why live someplace you don't like?
A lot of Democrats seem to be living someplace they don't like.
Boy, do they hate us?
I mean, they just yell and scream, and they don't like churches.
They don't like anything.
So those were the ones that came up first.
Oh, he did get in Gulf of America saying he had thought of naming it Trump Gulf.
Mary was worried they would believe him.
And he said, it's just a joke.
It's just a joke.
Because he'd get one of these psychological, they'd go get three psychiatrists who would say he's an egotistical maniac.
And he said it was a joke.
It was a joke.
Gulf of Trump was just a joke.
Just a joke.
Have we played any clips yet of the speech?
Well, we can show it.
Let's play some.
Let's play some clips.
He went on to mention birthright citizenship, which is going to be before the court very, very, very soon.
He mentioned the terrorists that he eliminated, you know, like he did in the first administration where he got al-Baghdadi and Soleimani.
Of course, he did a lot of, along with the Israelis, they took out a lot of the people who were working behind the scenes for Iran.
So shall we play some of his yeah, let's play the first clip.
The president, in his own words, his top three accomplishments.
Sir, we've heard a long list of accomplishments from the last year.
Could you cherry pick the top three?
And then looking forward, what are your three most important priorities in 2026?
So I think the building of a really powerful military has been a great achievement.
And that would include the Venezuela thing.
That would include the attack on Iran and the wiping out of the nuclear threat.
I think that's been really amazing what we've done militarily.
I think what we've done in business has been incredible.
We have $18 trillion coming in.
Plants are being built all over the place.
Thousands of plants are being built all over the country.
$18 trillion is a record.
No country has ever come anywhere even close to that.
I think that's a record.
And I think that most favored nations for drugs is something that nobody thought they'd be able to get.
Tariffs helped me there because the nations would have never gone along with it if I wasn't able to say, if you don't go along with it, we're going to put a 10 or a 15 or a 20% tariff on your nation.
And they went along.
And our drug prices are going to come down at numbers never even seen before, never even thought possible before.
Also, he was asked around that time, will the Board of Peace replace the United Nations?
Because there's a lot of talk of that.
Because the Board of Peace, which is supposed to oversee the running of Gaza after the rest of it is all worked out, he's now inviting nations to come on.
And he has two different kinds of membership.
He has a three-year rotating membership so that, you know, let's say I want to come on, I can be on for three years and they kick you off and somebody else comes on.
But if I want to be on for good, I want to be a permanent, I got to put in a billion dollars over three years to help develop Gaza.
But when you read it now, it goes well beyond Gaza.
It's going to involve other countries that need that kind of help as well.
So that's why the question comes up.
Is this another UN?
And I think the answer is only a little bit.
It's taking over one of the functions of the UN, which is to help develop countries, which had become a joke.
It had become a mafia enterprise, a place in which they just stole money and the country just got poorer and poorer and poorer.
So it will supersede that function for the United Nations because the U.S. has pulled out of given them any money.
I don't think anybody else is on that score.
In fact, we've defunded 22 UN programs.
I hope the salary of the Secretary General.
Yeah.
Because there's a doofus if ever was one and a communist doofus.
But he did say the UN still plays a useful role.
He didn't say what that was.
And I think we'd still be there if he was trying to figure out what that was.
We'd have a hard time pinning him down on that.
And he did discuss, he did discuss a mental hospital that I'm as familiar with as he is because I played baseball in the same place.
Let's play Creedmoor Mental Institution.
And we used to make so many jokes about that, like, we're going to send you to Creedmoor, you crazy man.
You know, we used to have, when I was growing up, we had in my area in Queens, I grew up in Queens, we had a place called Creedmoor.
Creedmoor.
Did anybody know that?
Creedmoor.
It was a big, I said, Mom, why are those bars on the building?
I used to play Little League Baseball there, a place called Cunningham Park, who's quite the baseball player, you wouldn't believe.
But I said to my mother, Mom, she would be there always there for me.
She said, son, you could be a professional baseball player.
I said, thanks, Mom.
I said, why are those bars on the windows?
Big building, big, powerful building.
It loomed over the park, actually.
She said, well, people that are very sick are in that building.
I said, boy, I used to always look at that building and I'd see this big building, big, tall building.
It loomed over the park.
It was sort of that.
So the people that are not in that building now because it's closed are going around, throwing people on subway trains, bashing them in the head for no reason, doing a fair number of rapes, stealing children, selling drugs, buying drugs, laying on the street homeless and refusing to go anywhere, defecating and urinating all over the place.
And then all of a sudden come out of nowhere and kill someone.
And you say, oh, gee, how could someone with that kind of mental history be out on the street?
Because we closed the major institutions that house them because the thought was, this is way back and then that they were inhumane, which doesn't mean they can't be fixed and be made humane, which is what should happen.
And they should be all put back there so that we don't have as many people as we do getting their heads bashed in by these people who should be sitting in Creedmoor.
And I do believe, but I haven't passed it in about a year now.
I do believe Creedmoor is still there.
I do believe it's still there.
I used to play baseball, not as often as he did because I lived a little further out, but I played baseball there a couple of times, a couple of like divisional championship games and stuff like that.
And I always wondered if we were entertaining the crazy people.
And of course, as children, we would make sensitive jokes about the whole thing.
Which, of course, as it does now, we would never make.
You know that, Ted.
Right.
Oh, no.
So we'll take a short break and we'll be after that crazy note.
We'll be right back.

Rudy Giuliani back with you again.
And the president is, if not on his airplane, getting on his airplane to head to head to Davos, Switzerland.
Yeah, let me see where he is.
And it's a beautiful, it's a beautiful setting, and it's the biggest bunch of bullshit in the world.
With all of the people who want to run the one world, all of the people who think they know the answers to it and have been presenting us those answers for the last 30 to 40 years, and they've been disastrous mistakes.
It is probably the place that has done the most to ruin Europe of any institution in the history of Europe.
Now, Davos is a one world big supporter of the EU.
Get rid of Italy, get rid of Spain, get rid of the traditions of Germany.
You like hard work.
Get rid of the traditions of England, like the Anglican religion.
Let them all become Muslims.
Get rid of the traditions of Ireland and the Roman Catholics and let them become very staunch supporters of murdering babies.
You know, it's been a woke, silly institution.
It has basically bankrupted Europe with the phony green program and windmills, which are doing shit for them and costing them a fortune.
And it also has completely neutered them so that they couldn't defend themselves against the Boy Scout troop of White Plains.
Now, Trump is doing everything he can to change that.
And it puts him at generally at odds with them.
And people say, oh, look at all the problems he has with NATO.
It's really remarkable that he doesn't have more problems with NATO.
I mean, these are people he fundamentally disagrees with.
And he's got them towing his line pretty much.
I mean, they're getting a little crazy here with this Greenland thing.
But to get these cheapskates and crooks and bums to come up with five grand of their GDP, 5% of their GDP for defense, that was a hell of a thing.
Now, there are some still cheating.
Spain, which is communist, is saying, no, we're just going to put in our usual, whatever it is, 1%, which means they should get their usual 1% help if they're ever attacked.
And we could trade Spain.
I mean, I would trade Spain for Greenland.
But most of them are putting the dough in.
I mean, the little countries always have.
I mean, the Eastern European countries have always been very careful about putting in their 3%, which originally was, because they had just come out of communism, and they understood the value of this.
But Germany, Germany would put in 1%.
Germany was the richest country in Europe.
England, 2%, they all would screw around.
They're all now moving toward 3%.
They may all be at 3%.
And the Secretary General has lifted it to 5, and they all promised to be at 5, President Trump included, who has a, that's the legislation he sent over to Congress for the $500 billion more for our defense budget,
which would make it the most powerful defense budget in the world and put us several, several light years ahead of China and Russia if we complete that budget.
So let me, before we get into, before we get into Davos, let me tell you how we compare right now to China.
China is having a hell of a time trying to really, now that things are being examined, to catch us on chips, the country's chances of catching up to the U.S. are slim in the short run, they say, because of bottlenecking chips.
The truth may be that the gap is actually widening, says the founder of the Chinese AI startup, Zipu.
While we're doing well in certain areas, we must still acknowledge the challenges and disparities we face.
One reason is that NVIDIA introduced its next generation Rubin hardware in January, and it named a number of U.S. companies as customers, but no Chinese company.
So every day they fall further and further behind.
They were behind.
They were making a valiant effort to catch up, but Trump has been slapping them around big time and out-foxing them in negotiations.
China's population has shrunk again for four consecutive years.
Now, I don't know.
China seems to think this is a problem because they're working on reversing their one-child policy, which they actually, quite honestly, which would be interesting because they're never honest, believe is the reason they're having this problem of trying to get up their birth rate.
Now, I always thought of China as if they lost 300 million, they'd be happy.
And that's why they were doing it.
But apparently, it's which 300 million?
If it's the poor, terrible the ones they're going to kill anyway and take out their hearts and lungs while they're alive and sell them, I guess it doesn't matter.
But if it's the valuable group, the educated group, the group that potentially is going to be educated, then that's going to matter a lot.
And I don't think there'd be this concern for trying to reverse the effects of the one-child policy if there wasn't that concern.
It isn't because of their great big hearts and their sense of humanity.
They don't have it.
They don't come from Western civilization.
They don't come from, and God created them in his image and likeness.
You have no idea how you are sensitized to the value of the human being that other cultures are not because of the Jewish and the Christian religions that are, whether you even consider yourself a Jew or a Christian, it's in the civic religion of your country.
So China's population is dropping and their solutions are not working, nor are their solutions for increased productivity working.
They got themselves through and therefore have some money to throw around because their exports will weigh up.
But that's like saying a guy who was very obese had a really good year because he got a lot more food.
They don't need more food.
They need a diet.
They need to start to develop a very, very sophisticated, profitable, diverse market within their country.
In other words, their country has to be, like the United States, one of the most desirable places in the world to sell your products.
It is not.
It's not even close to that.
China is a selling nation, not a buying nation and not a consuming nation.
It's trying to change because it's almost to the point where, look, you can be strong in one area and a little weaker in the other.
Think of it, and we'll talk football later.
Think of it as a football game.
Let's say you got the greatest offense in the world, but you got a defense that gives up, not only gives up the points that the other team can score, but scores a couple of points for the other team.
You're not going to win.
So, yeah, you've got to do exports, imports, and both, and they have to be in some balance to each other.
China is a way off, and it's not getting better.
China also has, and nobody likes to mention this, China has a ticking bomb in their economy that when it goes off, they'll get dropped quite a bit below maybe even Japan and other places.
And that is, what do they do about the people in third world poverty in their country that are in the hundreds of millions of people?
They can't ignore them forever.
They can't use them as human guinea pigs and sell their hearts and their livers and their body parts.
That's going to stop.
And the country is country slowly, very slowly, because it's so big and extended.
And so the kind of thing you see going on in Iran would take four times more in China because China is so vast.
Now, the internet and modern communication is beginning to create a wedge there or a connection there, a bridge.
Sorry, a bridge there.
But still, you're not going to see the kind of, even if something goes really wrong in the Chinese government, you're not going to see the kind of demonstrations that you see in Iran, because in Iran, it gets around really fast.
Now, Iran's a big country also, but it gets around really fast.
And it's a big country, you know, and what, 120th the size of China.
Maybe with more repression, by the way.
China, of course, China has repression, but China doesn't cut you off completely from the outside world.
Let's say the way North Korea does.
China came to realize that if they do that, they're not going to be able to compete, but people can be very stupid.
If you want to compete with the United States, you can't have a bunch of people that have grown up and never watch television and never used a computer and never went on the internet.
And so you got to make some trade-offs there.
And China, China, you know, China understands that even better than the Russians did, really.
Another area where I don't know if I should say this.
I'm going to sort of give away a secret that I recognize.
I'm sure a lot of people recognize it, but a lot of people don't recognize it.
But I think the Chinese do recognize it.
If I feel uncomfortable, we'll put it over here and maybe think it over and I'll call somebody and ask their advice.
That's the way I handle ethical issues like that.
It's an ethical issue.
This is something that we do that is brilliant that Trump did.
And I will tell you that he mentioned it today, but very briefly and very you couldn't understand it if you don't know the whole background of it.
So I don't know if he did that because he's moving quickly or he did that because he'd like to keep this a little under the wraps and at the right time blow the shit out of China.
So I'm going to keep my mouth shut on that one.
So that goes over there.
Stay there, Ted.
Don't even, you can look.
I trust you, of course.
So they did have a 5% rise in exports, make it three.
If China says five, it's three.
But they had a great decline in everything else.
They had a great decline in jobs, they had a decline in population.
And they had an awful lot of countries trying to fill their gap, including when Bush, sorry, Mr. President, when Trump went to, when Trump went to Southeast Asia, before he got to China, he was treated like a king in Laos and Cambodia and Malaysia.
They were just remarkable, remarkable, remarkable to him.
because they all in one way or another, various degrees of separation from China.
They go from pretty darn friendly with China to hating the place.
And that's a game that only a few people know how to play.
And he's one of them.
He's one of the people that does.
Danes and Inuit: A Complex Relationship 00:07:25
So who do we have on tonight?
We have a couple.
Tonight, next hour, we have Ambassador Robert Joseph.
Okay.
And we have a.
So tell the audience what they're going to speak about.
The situation in Iran, as the crackdown continues, the dissent has been stifled, it appears, by the murderous regime of the Ayatollah.
And so we'll be talking to both a young policy advocate with the Organization of the Iranian American Communities, a young man whose name is Asina Saidian.
We're hiring a Persian pronouncer to help us.
Right.
But you know what we should say?
I have a new exercise for us.
We're going to use the app.
Before the show, we're going to take these names.
We're going to put them in the app, and the app is going to tell us how to pronounce it.
How to pronounce it.
That's a good idea.
Or we call Ali Reyza.
Well, he can show us to him.
He's our app.
He's our Grok when it comes to all things prompts.
Yeah.
And plus, he's not as inaccurate as Grok.
Grok can be inaccurate.
They all can be.
They still seem to have a liberty.
I told you that other one, Chad GP, had the wrong winner of the first Army and Navy game.
That's completely shows you they're not there yet.
Shows you they're communists.
You would never get the Army and Navy game wrong if you were a true American.
Right.
That's a very good point, Mayor.
So what do you, well, Mayor, we just have a couple minutes left.
Well, let's spend a little time.
So we're going to spend a lot of time on Iran there.
Let's spend a little time on Greenland with a possible solution, with a possible solution, which appealed to me, but it might not appeal to the president, the administration, or the Europeans.
This is crazy.
These are our friends.
Yeah, sure, sure.
We got to push them to get more out of them.
We can't, you know, you can't get everything you want out of them.
And every once in a while, one of them screws around with us.
Their government changes and they get a better government and a worse government, whatever.
But these are our pals and our friends.
And these are the people that these are the people that share Western civilization with us.
They understand the value of it.
And we got to work with them.
I mean, I don't understand why they're, but I'm an American.
I don't understand why they're so upset if we take Greenland.
We already have half of it.
We already have, under the treaty, we are allowed to go in there with no questions asked and do anything for security purposes we want.
That was given to us during the Second World War, I think, by Churchill, because he said, well, who the hell else is that such an important place coming down over the circle, right?
Such an important place we can't screw around.
And the Germans almost got it.
So he said, I give them to the young Americans who haven't been fighting.
The Germans get there.
They'll kill every German coming along.
Plus, technologically, even then, we were just a step ahead of everybody else.
So we have a treaty that's the strangest one in the world.
Basically, says if there's a national security issue, we can just take over.
I love it.
Just take over the whole country.
But we can, we do take, we do run its defense.
Yep.
And we can do more of it.
We have the option to do more in our discretion.
So having said that, if the issue here is they don't want us grabbing it and making it part of America, which I don't really understand why not.
I mean, Denmark, Denmark really doesn't want.
You wouldn't have been sterilizing all those people, jackasses, if you really liked them.
Come on, you're not going to fool me.
You're a bunch of baby killers.
I don't know.
You probably don't do that with your babies, but you figured you don't want too many of these Inuit running around.
So they were giving them forced sterile.
Imagine this.
They're giving the Inuit people forced sterilization, some of whom didn't know it.
And some of whom, of course, have had complications over the years and are now suing them.
Now, this goes back to the 70s and the 80s.
Still hasn't come out.
Still waiting for a report in 2026.
Sounds like the Kennedy assassination or something.
I mean, not that we don't do something like this too, but it isn't as if there's a real warm relationship here between the Danes and the Inuit.
I mean, look, they wouldn't be killing their kids if there was a warm relationship, right?
And the Inuits, I don't know their position on birth control and stuff like that.
Don't know their religion.
Could be an old religion, could be a converted religion.
We'll check.
The Danes are a certain small Catholic church in Denmark, but the Danes are, and of course, originally they were Roman Catholic, like all of Europe was.
But the Danes have their own national church, which would be a subset, I think, more of Lutheranism than Calvinism.
What's the difference?
Well, Luther was more, Luther had a liturgy that was happier, more joyous.
He liked the idea of songs.
He liked celebrating Christmas.
When you start to get over to Calvin and we start moving into the more puritanical sects, you start to get so far out that they didn't, you got Protestant groups that didn't celebrate Christmas for 200 years, which we didn't in America because of the damn Puritans.
Jesus would never allow a celebration like that.
So that would, I mean, so these churches are very, very, these churches are very, very different.
I don't know which one Greenland fits into, but I know The people of Greenland, who are Inuit people, are not at all happy with the way they've been treated by Denmark, either in terms of money, where Denmark is now forking over more money, but in terms of everything else, like, as I said, forced sterilization is like out of a science fiction movie and a bad one.
Trip To Davos 00:00:43
So we'll be back tomorrow on Lindel TV and on X and see what happens over in Davos.
I'll tell you when you come over to X now, I'll tell you about my trip to Davos and just what I think of the people of Davos and just how wrong they've been about everything for the last 30 years.
So thank you very much.
Pray for all the people that are in harm's way.
Pray for the president.
We'll see you tomorrow night.
