Donald Trump Bashes Europe 00:15:08
This is an iHeart podcast.
Guaranteed human.
All right, news roundup information overload hour toll-free.
Our number is 800-941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, we'll have some of the highlights of President Trump, his speech.
I mean, he just ripped into Europe on a lot of really key, pivotal, important issues.
I'm sure there was a collective sigh of relief when he said he's not going to take Greenland by force, but he bashed Europe for being weak and pathetic and buying into this climate alarmism cult and their reliance on windmills and what losers they are.
I mean, this goes back to his first term when he gave then German Chancellor Merkel the white flag of surrender for doing a multi, multi billion dollar deal with Russia for natural gas, relying on their top geopolitical foe, which was really stupid, making Russia rich and strong, just dumb.
President lashed into their immigration policies, their socialist economies, their unfair trade practices, their lack of national security and defense priorities.
I mean, he just laid them out, but he did it in a rather very Trumpian way.
It was nice, but it was firm.
I was shocked.
Apparently, Al Gore was in Davos and predicted 1 to 2 billion migrants crossing international borders by 2050, warning that Eastern Mediterranean migrant crisis led Orban and Brexit and authoritarian-friendly governments to say it's hard to imagine what a billion climate migrants would do to our capacity for self-governance.
So I decided to go back, do a little research, and look at, you know, go to Al Gore Earth for the unbalance.
I think it came out, well, what year did this come out?
2010?
I mean, back in the day.
I mean, but Al Gore predicted catastrophic rise of the sea levels in the near future.
You know, Greenland and Antarctica melting in the near future.
Sea levels are rising.
But no, he's wrong.
That never came to fruition.
That CO2 levels showed CO2 at the way they measure it is 380 ppm in 2006, predicting it would be 650 years.
No, not even close to 600 is prediction.
As far as Arctic ice, he predicted the entire North Polar ice cap would be gone in five to seven years.
All that time has come and gone.
And scientists express confusion over the exact probability, but the ice-free prediction never materialized like everything else.
You know, he went through hurricane intensity and actually frequency and frequency and frequency drop slightly.
Intensity, you know, changes, you know, are negligible.
You know, he talked about the snows of Kilimanjaro and predicted they'd be gone in a decade.
No, snow still exist.
And sorry, he's wrong on that.
And it's just this climate alarmism.
Here's some of his predictions in his own words.
We're still putting 162 million tons into it every single day.
And the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth.
That's what's boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers and the rain bombs and sucking the moisture out of the land and creating the droughts and melting the ice and raising the sea level and causing these waves of climate refugees predicted to reach 1 billion in this century.
Look at the xenophobia and political authoritarian trends that have come from just a few million refugees.
What about a billion?
We would lose our capacity for self-governance on this world.
We have a planetary emergency.
That phrase may sound shrill or alarmist, but it's not.
We may have less than 10 years before we cross a point of no return.
But we as a free governing people in the one nation with the best chance to lead the world at a moment when the future of civilization is at risk, we have to find a way to not only talk about, but effectively deal with this issue.
It's not fine.
The earth has a fever that is growing more and more intense.
It is a planetary emergency.
They pay pseudo-scientists to pretend to be scientists to put out the message, this climate thing, it's nonsense.
Man-made CO2 doesn't trap.
It's not.
It may be volcanoes.
Bullshit.
It may be sunspots.
Bullshit.
It's not getting warmer.
Bullshit.
It's no longer acceptable in a mixed company, meaning bipartisan company, to use the damn word climate.
It's not acceptable.
Now, unbelievably, they tell us that unless we act with great urgency, the entire North Polar ice cab could be gone in less than 23 years.
I'll tell you, the resistance to civil rights laws was just as fierce, if not more so, than the resistance to solving the climate crisis.
All right, you get the idea.
By the way, he started this climate alarmism cultism in 92.
That was from like 92 to 2010.
And here we are, and all his predictions are wrong.
Anyway, Mark Murano, he's actually in Davos right now, and he wrote the bestseller, Great Reset, Global Elites and the Permanent Lockdown.
He has written extensively about Al Gore's lies.
I mean, he's peddled these lies and predictions in specific timeframes that have come and gone, and he's been proven wrong again and again.
Why does anybody listen to him anymore?
Well, first of all, that was an amazing rundown of all of Al Gore's predictions over the years, and it's an incredible display of just, he says it's not shrill, it's not alarmism.
Yes, it is shrill, it is alarmism, it's scientifically inaccurate.
And here's the good news, Sean.
This is the first Davos meeting that I'm aware of where Al Gore was completely irrelevant.
He showed up at a Bloomberg Forum.
He started talking about the climate, refugees, et cetera, et cetera.
And guess what?
No one paid attention.
They did a survey of the World Economic Forum members this year.
Climate is now dropped significantly in their rankings.
Even the members who are attending aren't even talking about it.
The co-chair, Larry Fink, has now said that solar and wind can't power AI data centers, that we need dispatchable fossil fuel power or nuclear to do it.
So the head of the World Economic Forum is now saying that basically the climate agenda is dead.
It gets worse.
Bill Gates is now saying climate is not a catastrophe.
Climate is not an emergency.
We need to have humans flourishing.
And Al Gore, when he went to COP 30 in Brazil when I was down there last November, he spent his time attacking Bill Gates.
So now you have two major climate figures, Al Gore and Bill Gates, attacking each other.
He said that Bill Gates was acting silly.
And so that is where we are.
Al Gore is now isolated even among his own Davos crowd.
That's how shrill, that's how alarmist, and that's how irrelevant Al Gore has become today.
And just having Donald Trump there today, just with the icing on the cake, just tummling Europe.
I mean, he just humbled Europe.
But by the way, every criticism is legitimate.
Europe is collapsing as a continent.
And they're collapsing because of their adaptation of wide open borders, no demand for assimilation.
Did you ever think that you'd see in your lifetime 80 some odd sharia courts in Great Britain, no-go zones in parts of Europe, that they've adopted the socialist economy?
You think they would have learned from Maggie Thatcher, but they haven't.
This climate religious cult, their lack of desire or urgency to defend their continent and their fecklessness, their impotence to defend their own continent.
No, in fact, we actually had a counter World Economic Forum event in Switzerland, and we featured Liz Truss, the former UK prime minister, who went on and on about it.
It's horrifying what's happening to free speech in England right now.
And we had Voclov Klaus, the earliest founders of going against Al Gore and the whole UN agenda.
So there are people trying to fight back.
But the sad thing about Europe is they've bought into this for so many decades.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick spoke today at the World Economic Forum.
It was a mind-bending speech.
It was amazing.
He said, why would Europe outsource all of their energy to China and all these other countries when they don't even make batteries?
Why would they think that was a good idea?
And he went through.
So it was not only Donald Trump, it was other members of administration.
Scott Beston was there, and they were just ripping new ones for Europe and the folly of this whole agenda.
Now, the World Economic Forum hasn't given up on the climate agenda completely.
It's gone underground.
They had a climate hub there, and I'm not making this up.
They had the car that was saving the climate on display on the main strip in Davos today, and it was no bigger than a lawnmower with a roof on it.
And it barely held two people with a bench seat.
And my first thought, I did a video of it, and I just said, seriously simply, Americans would be driving this car if it weren't for Donald Trump.
It's kind of like, you know, you know, we'd be, yeah, that Europe would be speaking German if it weren't for the United States.
Donald Trump saved us from this agenda in a way that I don't think any other previous Republican nominee in many years could.
Look at where the radical Democratic Party is right now, Mark.
I mean, they want the Green New Deal, and that is rooted in part in this insane climate agenda.
But the climate agenda expands way beyond that into everything's going to be free, redistribution, free daycare, free health care, free nurses if you need it, free Obamacare, government-guaranteed job and salary, and government-guaranteed healthy food, and government-guaranteed retirement, womb to the tomb, cradle to the grave.
And they've been pushing this now forever.
And, you know, in some places in this country, I mean, California's a great example.
New York's a great example.
Kami Mondani and the squad is a great example.
And Jasmine Crockett would be a good example.
Grandpa Bernie, Pocahontas.
I mean, they all support this crap.
And they are.
In fact, you mentioned Mondame.
He's got a whole climate action plan for the state of New York.
New York is about to descend even harder into this nonsense.
And you're going to have that, but you're also going to have even Kathy Hochl, the governor of New York, was forced to say she wanted reliable energy and she's not going to meet the climate goals.
So she has environmentalists attacking her because she's not meeting New York's climate goals because they're outraged from the voters about their electric bills.
You have even Gavin Newsom begging refineries to stay in California after spending years trying to force them out.
So that's some hope there that they can only do this rhetorically.
It's going to be harder and harder for them to follow through on the policies, even in the United States, even in these blue states.
Although we have in Virginia, my home state, you have the new governor actually getting us back into the regional, all this stuff.
All it's designed to do is raise energy prices, make us more reliant on China.
So Donald Trump still has his work cut out for us, but he has done the most by flipping the narrative.
It's amazing.
And seeing Lee Zeldon, the most consequential EPA chief in the agency's history, seeing Chris Wright, energy secretary, they call it a scam, a cult, a religion.
That is so important to reframe the narrative because it makes it so that it's very difficult for climate to actually become an issue that people take seriously.
Even the CNN pollster, by the way, Harry Enton, said concern about climate change in America has not been this low since the late 1980s.
So Donald Trump has done amazing in reframing the issue.
He really has.
And what I love about him is he's fearless and he goes out there and he just says what's on his mind.
What was the reaction in the room?
It was amazing.
I was in the American pavilion and Nigel Farage was there.
I saw Kellyanne Conway and everyone was just very happy and excited with the way the speech went because what he did was it was a masterclass in terms of ramping up all the expectations.
There was a one point where I think it was the European News reported that an effort led by Macron, they were going to have an intervention for Donald Trump.
Now, this raised the specter of all these world leaders sitting around with a car waiting to take them off to some rehab.
They were going to have an intervention with him because they were concerned about Greenland so much.
But he came in and it looks like what we're going to do is renegotiate the 1950s agreement so that it explicitly bans Russia and China from having any access to Greenland's resources.
And I think Donald Trump's going to do an incredible deal that's going to benefit Greenland and probably Denmark and the United States.
That's the way he does it.
So everyone was very happy with that.
Everyone was very happy with his, you know, again, reasserting the folly of wind and solar and the whole net zero agenda.
You know, it's funny because I've been predicting for days.
I said, you know, Donald Trump now has been on the world stage for 11 years and still people can't figure him out.
And, you know, he trolls people all the time, takes up more space in people's minds than any one human being on earth.
And, you know, he said yesterday at his press conference, you'll see when it comes to Greenland.
Are you going to invade Greenland?
And then today, no, but I think Donald Trump is, I think you'll make them an offer that they can't refuse.
That's my prediction.
He literally hijacked this entire week with his comments.
And that is just incredible right there alone.
I mean, normally it's U.S. presidents showing up and begging to be included, begging to go along with the net zero agenda, et cetera.
But Trump just flipped the entire Davos meeting this year.
And it was all about the United States.
And I think they are just in shock.
They don't know how to, again, they were trying to do an intervention with the U.S. president.
It was like comical stuff that was happening today.
Mark Morano, get home safe.
NATO's Weakness Highlighted 00:02:13
We appreciate you taking time from your trip to be with us and being there and watching what's going on with these extreme world leaders that are clueless.
Anyway, thanks for being with us.
800-941 Sean is on number if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, quick break, right back as we continue.
All right, let's go back to our top story, and that is President Trump.
I mean, he goes to Davos, and he, well, first he tells European leaders they would be speaking German without us.
Talked about the issue of Greenland and talked about Putin and talked about Europe, but he really took on, he took on the Canadian prime minister.
He took on Emmanuel Macron.
He took on all of Europe and NATO and how weak and feckless that they are.
And it was a really, really powerful speech by the president, and he did it in a very Trumpian way.
You know, he started out, I greet so many friends and a few enemies.
He talked about Greenland, but he talked about he's not going to take Greenland by force.
I think he's going to make them an offer that they can't refuse.
And, you know, he talked about the success of his policies in this country, talked about the idiocy of Europe's immigration policies, the idiocy of their climate cultism and reliance on windmills and how stupid it is, how their socialist economy is killing them, how their weakness on national defense and NATO is pathetic.
I mean, it was just a very powerful speech.
And we're going to highlight a lot of it tonight on Hannity 9 Eastern.
But here's the president from earlier today.
We never asked for anything, and we never got anything.
We probably won't get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force where we would be, frankly, unstoppable.
Denmark's Rare Earth Return 00:04:23
But I won't do that.
Okay?
Now everyone's saying, oh, good.
That's probably the biggest statement I made because people thought I would use force.
I don't have to use force.
I don't want to use force.
I won't use force.
All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland where we already had it as a trustee, but respectfully returned it back to Denmark not long ago after we defeated the Germans, the Japanese, the Italians, and others in World War II.
We gave it back to them.
And all we're asking for is to get Greenland, including right, title, and ownership, because you need the ownership to defend it.
You can't defend it on a lease.
Number one, legally, it's not defensible that way, totally.
And number two, psychologically, who the hell wants to defend a license agreement or a lease?
We saw this in World War II when Denmark fell to Germany after just six hours of fighting and was totally unable to defend either itself or Greenland.
So the United States was then compelled, we did it, we felt an obligation to do it, to send our own forces to hold the Greenland territory and hold it we did at great cost and expense.
They didn't have a chance of getting on it and they tried.
Denmark knows that.
We literally set up bases on Greenland for Denmark.
We fought for Denmark.
We weren't fighting for anyone else.
We were fighting to save it for Denmark.
Big, beautiful piece of ice.
It's hard to call it land.
It's a big piece of ice.
But we saved Greenland and successfully prevented our enemies from gaining a foothold in our hemisphere.
So we did it for ourselves also.
And then after the war, which we won, we won it big.
Without us, right now you'd all be speaking German and a little Japanese, perhaps.
After the war, we gave Greenland back to Denmark.
How stupid were we to do that, but we did it.
But we gave it back.
But how ungrateful are they now?
Greenland is a vast, almost entirely uninhabited and undeveloped territory that's sitting undefended in a key strategic location between the United States, Russia, and China.
It's exactly where it is, right smack in the middle.
Wasn't important nearly when we gave it back.
You know, when we gave it back, it wasn't the same as it is now.
It's not important for any other reason, you know, to everyone talks about the minerals.
There's so many places.
There's no rare earth, no such thing as rare earth.
There's rare processing, but there's so much rare earth.
And this to get to this rare earth, you've got to go through hundreds of feet of ice.
That's not the reason we need it.
We need it for strategic national security and international security.
Quickly.
This afternoon I want to discuss how we've achieved this economic miracle, how we intend to raise living standards for our citizens to levels never seen before, and perhaps how you too and the places where you come from can do much better by following what we're doing because certain places in Europe are not even recognizable, frankly, anymore.
They're not recognizable.
And we can argue about it, but there's no argument.
Friends come back from different places.
I don't want to insult anybody and say I don't recognize it.
And that's not in a positive way.
That's in a very negative way.
And I love Europe, and I want to see Europe go good, but it's not heading in the right direction.
In recent decades, it became conventional wisdom in Washington and European capitals that the only way to grow a modern Western economy was through ever-increasing government spending, unchecked mass migration, and endless foreign imports.
United States Keeping the World Afloat 00:05:56
The consensus was that so-called dirty jobs and heavy industry should be sent elsewhere, that affordable energy should be replaced by the Green New scam, and that countries could be propped up by importing new and entirely different populations from faraway lands.
But we put a 30% tariff on Switzerland, and all hell broke loose.
They were calling, I mean, like you wouldn't believe.
And I know so many people from Switzerland, incredible place, incredible, brilliant place.
But I then realized that they're only good because of us.
And there's so many other examples.
I mean, us, probably other places, but a majority of the money they make is because of us, because we never charge them anything.
So they come in, they sell their watches, no tariffs, no nothing.
They walk away, they make $41 billion on just us.
So I said, no, we can't do that.
So I'm going to bring it up.
I still would have a deficit pretty substantial, but I brought it up to 30%.
And the, I guess, prime minister, I don't think president, I think prime minister called a woman.
And she was very repetitive.
She said, no, no, no, you cannot do that, 30%.
You cannot do that.
We are a small, small country.
I said, yeah, but you have a big, big deficit.
You may be small, but you have a bigger deficit than big countries.
I said, no, no, no, please.
You cannot do it.
Kept saying the same thing over and over.
We are a small country. I said, but you're a big country in terms of...
And she just rubbed me the wrong way, I'll be honest with you.
And I said, all right, thank you, ma'am.
Appreciate it.
Do not do this.
Thank you very much, ma'am.
And I made it 39%.
And then all hell really broke out.
And I was paid visits by everybody.
Rolex came to see me.
They all came to see me.
But I realized, and I reduced it, because I don't want to hurt people.
I don't want to hurt them.
And we brought it down to a lower level.
Doesn't mean it's not going up.
But we brought it down to a lower level.
But they pay now tariff.
But I realize that we have many places like that where they're making a fortune because of the United States.
Without the United States, they wouldn't be making anything.
Think of it.
Switzerland made $41 billion on us.
And as she said, it's a small place.
And I realized with that, I don't know, I was so because she was so aggressive.
And I realized in that conversation that the United States is keeping the whole world afloat.
Many places, I could give you six, seven places, just in the people in this little area.
I know every one of them.
They're sort of, they're looking down.
They don't want to see me.
They don't want to stare me in the eyes.
But they're taking advantage of.
Everybody took advantage of the United States.
You're supposed to make money with energy, not lose money.
Here in Europe, we've seen the fate that the radical left tried to impose on America.
They tried very hard.
Germany now generates 22% less electricity than it did in 2017.
And it's not the current Chancellor's fault.
He's solving the problem.
He's going to do a great job.
But what they did before he got there, I guess that's why he got there.
And electricity prices are 64% higher.
The United Kingdom produces just one-third of the total energy from all sources that it did in 1999.
Think of that, one-third.
And they're sitting on top of the North Sea, one of the greatest reserves anywhere in the world, but they don't use it.
And that's one reason why their energy has reached catastrophically low levels with equally high prices, high prices, very low levels.
Think of that, one-third, and you're sitting on top of the North Sea, and they like to say, well, you know, that's depleted.
It's not depleted.
It's got 500 years.
They haven't even found the oil.
The North Sea is incredible.
They don't let anybody drill.
Environmentally, they don't let them drill.
They make it impossible for the oil companies to go.
They take 92% of the revenues.
So the oil companies say, we can't do it.
They came to see me.
Is there anything you can do?
I want Europe to do great.
I want UK to do great.
Sitting on one of the greatest energy sources in the world, and they don't use it.
In fact, their electricity prices have soared 139%.
There are windmills all over Europe.
There are windmills all over the place.
And they are losers.
One thing I've noticed is that the more windmills a country has, the more money that country loses and the worse that country is doing.
China makes almost all of the windmills.
And yet I haven't been able to find any wind farms in China.
Did you ever think of that?
It's a good way of looking at it.
They're smart.
China's very smart.
They make them.
They sell them for a fortune.
They sell them to the stupid people that buy them.
But they don't use them themselves.
They put up a couple of big wind farms, but they don't use them.
Deal or Die 00:01:12
They just put them up to show people.
What happens is oftentimes we'll have a deal with Russia.
Russia's set, and President Zelensky will not do it.
You saw that when he was in the Oval Office.
I was not happy.
And then we'll have President Zelensky wants to make a deal, and Putin doesn't want to make the deal.
It's a bloodbath.
It's horrible.
What's happening?
It's a drone war.
The drones are killing thousands of people a week.
Thousands.
We have to get it stopped.
So I believe they're at a point now.
I'm going to meet with President Zelensky later today.
I believe they're at a point now where they can come together and get a deal done.
And if they don't, they're stupid.
That goes for both of them.
And I know they're not stupid, but if they don't get this done, they are stupid.
So I don't want to insult anyone, but you got to get this deal done.
Too many people are dying.
It's not worth it.
All right.
That was the president at Talvos earlier today.
And it was a powerful speech.
We'll have full coverage of all of this tonight.
