Charlie Kirk Today | Jack Posobiec: January 22, 2026 | Charlie Kirk Today | January 22, 2026

Brought to you in part by the
00:00:01.782 --> 00:00:03.484
International fellowship of christians and jews.
00:00:03.484 --> 00:00:13.994
President trump gave his big speech
00:00:14.795 --> 00:00:16.697
At the world economic forum in davos, switzerland,
00:00:16.697 --> 00:00:20.067
And made huge news.
00:00:20.067 --> 00:00:21.502
So let's just start with the clip
00:00:21.502 --> 00:00:22.736
And then we're going to unpack this.
00:00:22.736 --> 00:00:24.872
So president trump made it very clear
00:00:24.872 --> 00:00:26.907
There's been this back and forth we want greenland.
00:00:26.907 --> 00:00:29.210
We'll buy it. actually we're gonna use force.
00:00:29.210 --> 00:00:31.445
If you don't play play ball a rough wooing.
00:00:31.445 --> 00:00:33.948
And blake
00:00:33.948 --> 00:00:35.449
Was squirming the whole time very uncomfortable with this.
00:00:35.449 --> 00:00:38.919
Then at davos, he made it clear
00:00:38.919 --> 00:00:41.555
We will not use force, but we still really want it.
00:00:41.555 --> 00:00:45.259
327 we never asked for anything
00:00:45.893 --> 00:00:50.498
And we never got anything.
00:00:51.065 --> 00:00:52.566
We probably won't get anything unless i decide to use
00:00:52.566 --> 00:00:55.436
Excessive strength
00:00:55.436 --> 00:00:56.504
And force where we would be, frankly, unstoppable.
00:00:56.504 --> 00:01:00.841
But i won't do that.
00:01:01.308 --> 00:01:04.378
Okay, now everyone say, how could.
00:01:05.146 --> 00:01:08.082
That's probably the biggest statement
00:01:08.082 --> 00:01:10.384
I made because people thought i would use force.
00:01:10.384 --> 00:01:12.586
But i don't have to use force.
00:01:12.586 --> 00:01:13.754
I don't want to use force.
00:01:13.754 --> 00:01:14.655
I won't use force.
00:01:14.655 --> 00:01:16.957
All the united states is asking
00:01:16.957 --> 00:01:18.792
For is a place called greenland.
00:01:18.792 --> 00:01:20.928
There is, there's a guy named josh wolf.
00:01:20.928 --> 00:01:24.298
Onex.
00:01:24.298 --> 00:01:25.299
He's a partner at lux capital.
00:01:25.299 --> 00:01:27.801
Founding chair, sci prep.
00:01:27.801 --> 00:01:31.872
Anyways, smart guy.
00:01:31.872 --> 00:01:33.274
Got a lot of followers.
00:01:33.274 --> 00:01:34.341
This is this.
00:01:34.341 --> 00:01:35.309
This article is getting a lot of traction.
00:01:35.309 --> 00:01:38.245
And what he's doing is he's breaking down
00:01:38.245 --> 00:01:40.447
A classic trump negotiation tactic.
00:01:40.447 --> 00:01:42.550
That's why it's getting a lot of traction.
00:01:42.550 --> 00:01:43.851
So i want to give attribution where it's due to this.
00:01:43.851 --> 00:01:46.720
To this gentleman again his name is josh wolf.
00:01:46.720 --> 00:01:49.557
And he says,
00:01:49.890 --> 00:01:50.925
You know, he's kind of
00:01:51.392 --> 00:01:52.459
Observing that the press thinks it's a spectacle.
00:01:52.459 --> 00:01:55.462
Europeans say it's a breaking with international norms
00:01:55.462 --> 00:01:58.566
And a rule based order.
00:01:58.566 --> 00:01:59.800
He calls that all a mirage, by the way,
00:01:59.800 --> 00:02:01.835
Which i tend to agree.
00:02:01.835 --> 00:02:03.137
There is a part of this where trump is actually
00:02:03.137 --> 00:02:06.073
Doing the math correctly,
00:02:06.073 --> 00:02:07.641
That nato doesn't work without america.
00:02:07.641 --> 00:02:09.310
That doesn't mean we want to mistreat our allies.
00:02:09.310 --> 00:02:12.079
Trump is a saber rattler.
00:02:12.079 --> 00:02:13.447
He's a negotiator,
00:02:13.447 --> 00:02:14.815
And i think he sees through a bunch of the rule
00:02:14.815 --> 00:02:18.819
Based order, which is really they get their way.
00:02:18.819 --> 00:02:21.689
America pays for it.
00:02:21.689 --> 00:02:23.324
And i think people are sick of it.
00:02:23.324 --> 00:02:24.592
And so what he says is this quote,
00:02:24.592 --> 00:02:25.960
What is actually underway.
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:27.528
It's not all the noise.
00:02:27.528 --> 00:02:29.463
Listen to this is supply chain annexation
00:02:29.463 --> 00:02:32.900
Dressed in cost, the costume of territorial ambition.
00:02:32.900 --> 00:02:36.570
The target is not an island.
00:02:36.570 --> 00:02:38.405
It is two geological formations in southern greenland.
00:02:38.405 --> 00:02:42.042
And i'm going to pronounce these terribly.
00:02:42.042 --> 00:02:43.611
But convey conveys sheffield and tan breeze
00:02:43.611 --> 00:02:47.581
That contain the heavy, rare earth elements, without
00:02:47.581 --> 00:02:49.984
Which no advanced weapons system can be built.
00:02:49.984 --> 00:02:52.786
Dysprosium to ribbon names that mean
00:02:52.786 --> 00:02:55.289
Nothing to the public, but everything to the pentagon.
00:02:55.289 --> 00:02:57.825
These elements are
00:02:57.825 --> 00:02:58.926
Irreplaceable in the actuators of the f-35 fighters.
00:02:58.926 --> 00:03:02.830
The guidance fins of precision munitions, the sonar arrays
00:03:02.830 --> 00:03:06.533
Of virginia class submarines, and the permanent magnets
00:03:06.533 --> 00:03:09.503
Of every electric vehicle motor.
00:03:09.503 --> 00:03:11.438
China controls over 90% of global processing.
00:03:11.438 --> 00:03:15.042
The united states controls almost none.
00:03:15.042 --> 00:03:17.244
The quote unquote purchase of greenland is not a land deal.
00:03:17.244 --> 00:03:20.581
Its attempt to break a choke hold.
00:03:20.581 --> 00:03:23.751
That's one of the very key elements.
00:03:23.751 --> 00:03:26.220
There's also the fact that trump
00:03:26.220 --> 00:03:28.656
Is now signaling to canada that this is about building
00:03:28.656 --> 00:03:32.293
The golden dome, and he's warning
00:03:32.293 --> 00:03:34.995
Carney up in canada, the great white north neighbor,
00:03:34.995 --> 00:03:40.401
Saying, you know, why don't you watch your mouth
00:03:40.401 --> 00:03:42.336
When you're when you're talking
00:03:42.336 --> 00:03:43.370
About these things and flirting with the ccp? mr.
00:03:43.370 --> 00:03:46.307
Carney? 312
00:03:46.307 --> 00:03:48.175
Kennedy gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way.
00:03:49.176 --> 00:03:51.712
They should be grateful also, but they know that what you're
00:03:51.712 --> 00:03:54.982
Prime minister yesterday, he wasn't so grateful
00:03:54.982 --> 00:03:58.252
That they should be grateful to us, canada.
00:03:58.252 --> 00:04:01.522
Canada lives because of the united states.
00:04:01.522 --> 00:04:03.857
Remember that mark, the next time you make your
00:04:03.857 --> 00:04:06.527
Statements.
00:04:06.527 --> 00:04:07.461
A direct shot across the bow to he's mad.
00:04:07.461 --> 00:04:10.497
He's very mad. but, well, it does.
00:04:10.497 --> 00:04:12.566
It shows why this is a double sided thing.
00:04:12.566 --> 00:04:16.003
I believe, because
00:04:16.003 --> 00:04:18.706
He's being very forceful.
00:04:18.706 --> 00:04:20.107
He's being very assertive about america.
00:04:20.107 --> 00:04:22.309
And i know, that guy you were just reading and others like,
00:04:22.309 --> 00:04:25.579
Yeah, josh wolf,
00:04:25.979 --> 00:04:27.047
They're very skeptical of that international order.
00:04:27.047 --> 00:04:29.850
They say it's fake and all of that, but
00:04:29.850 --> 00:04:32.119
A lot of it was
00:04:32.119 --> 00:04:33.153
If it is fake, it was fake news that did benefit
00:04:33.153 --> 00:04:34.922
The united states in a lot of ways.
00:04:34.922 --> 00:04:36.590
I think it was the
00:04:36.590 --> 00:04:37.991
The presumption
00:04:37.991 --> 00:04:39.059
That nations would look to the united states, that
00:04:39.059 --> 00:04:41.662
They would orbit around us,
00:04:41.662 --> 00:04:43.230
And we had to subsidize them a lot, a lot. but
00:04:43.230 --> 00:04:46.734
I think president trump had a
00:04:47.368 --> 00:04:48.736
Lot of success in basically saying,
00:04:48.736 --> 00:04:50.938
You guys are free riding too much.
00:04:50.938 --> 00:04:52.339
You need to pony up more.
00:04:52.339 --> 00:04:53.340
In fact, denmark is a good example of that.
00:04:53.340 --> 00:04:55.109
Denmark i was checking this in 2015.
00:04:55.109 --> 00:04:57.344
Denmark was paying, i think, 1% of their gdp towards defense.
00:04:57.344 --> 00:05:01.415
They were they were totally
00:05:01.415 --> 00:05:02.716
Not not spending money to defend things.
00:05:02.716 --> 00:05:05.119
And during president trump's first term, he says to europe,
00:05:05.119 --> 00:05:08.188
This is nato is an alliance.
00:05:08.188 --> 00:05:09.490
It's not just us. you guys have to pony up.
00:05:09.490 --> 00:05:10.991
And they tripled the amount they were spending on defense.
00:05:10.991 --> 00:05:13.560
We have had some success getting these guys.
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:15.929
Yes, more the in the speech,
00:05:15.929 --> 00:05:17.998
President trump made this point.
00:05:17.998 --> 00:05:19.333
He said, it's not just, you know, you gotta understand.
00:05:19.333 --> 00:05:23.137
It's a psychological difference.
00:05:23.137 --> 00:05:24.471
Nobody wants to invest
00:05:24.471 --> 00:05:26.073
Hundreds of billions of dollars in something
00:05:26.073 --> 00:05:28.175
That they're leasing that could go back to an original owner,
00:05:28.175 --> 00:05:31.612
You know.
00:05:31.912 --> 00:05:32.980
So that part, it actually makes a lot of sense.
00:05:32.980 --> 00:05:34.815
But it's the us controls those two fronts, alaska
00:05:34.815 --> 00:05:38.519
And greenland, the ability to defend the lower 48 becomes
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:43.424
Extraordinarily robust, especially from icbm attacks
00:05:43.424 --> 00:05:46.960
Coming over the arctic.
00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:48.028
But it was interesting that your take was that his?
00:05:48.028 --> 00:05:52.099
You actually appreciated the tone this morning.
00:05:52.099 --> 00:05:54.301
Explain why you thought it was more so.
00:05:54.301 --> 00:05:56.470
As i said,
00:05:56.470 --> 00:05:57.204
I think i think
00:05:57.204 --> 00:05:58.338
The biggest risk here,
00:05:58.338 --> 00:05:59.339
As i've explained, is that they look at what
00:05:59.339 --> 00:06:01.608
The president trump is doing and not it's not just,
00:06:01.608 --> 00:06:03.410
Oh, he's being assertive like he is before.
00:06:03.410 --> 00:06:05.579
It's the sense is he being unreliable.
00:06:05.579 --> 00:06:08.415
Because,
00:06:08.415 --> 00:06:09.817
For example, with nato, you can say nato, you need
00:06:09.817 --> 00:06:12.586
To spend more on your defense.
00:06:12.586 --> 00:06:13.887
But if you're straight up saying
00:06:13.887 --> 00:06:15.556
We are going to take territory from you, abruptly
00:06:15.556 --> 00:06:18.826
Make this new demand, and if not,
00:06:18.826 --> 00:06:21.228
Any number of things can happen at that point, you're
00:06:21.228 --> 00:06:23.997
Basically saying, this isn't a military alliance anymore.
00:06:23.997 --> 00:06:26.767
This is a thing we can extort.
00:06:26.767 --> 00:06:29.002
We can extort territory from you.
00:06:29.002 --> 00:06:30.737
So i like him saying, okay, we're not going to attack you.
00:06:30.737 --> 00:06:33.607
We're going to operate through the normal means
00:06:33.607 --> 00:06:36.210
We don't want.
00:06:36.210 --> 00:06:37.878
There's always that risk that president trump
00:06:37.878 --> 00:06:39.513
Will kind of you drive your partners away so much.
00:06:39.513 --> 00:06:41.748
They say
00:06:41.748 --> 00:06:42.850
We're going to make partnerships with other people,
00:06:42.850 --> 00:06:44.051
If only because we just don't like you anymore.
00:06:44.051 --> 00:06:46.019
Yeah. and the question is, is that a bluff?
00:06:46.019 --> 00:06:47.554
We're going to talk about that in the next segment.
00:06:47.554 --> 00:06:49.556
But i actually love this robust
00:06:49.556 --> 00:06:51.124
Assertion of american dominance.
00:06:51.124 --> 00:06:52.759
I really do love it. we'll be right back.
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:57.798
The wounds from
00:06:58.165 --> 00:06:59.166
October 7th didn't fade when the headlines did.
00:06:59.166 --> 00:07:02.302
Behind me rises
00:07:02.669 --> 00:07:03.871
A new rehabilitation home for israel's wounded soldiers.
00:07:03.871 --> 00:07:07.541
One of many urgent projects israel needs right now.
00:07:07.541 --> 00:07:11.278
Entire communities shattered.
00:07:11.912 --> 00:07:14.014
Families displaced.
00:07:14.014 --> 00:07:15.749
And each day,
00:07:15.749 --> 00:07:16.850
The impact of the need grows even more overwhelming.
00:07:16.850 --> 00:07:20.821
But the bible says it clearly.
00:07:20.821 --> 00:07:23.090
The righteous will live by faith and by faith.
00:07:23.090 --> 00:07:27.261
The fellowship is rolling up our sleeves
00:07:27.261 --> 00:07:29.029
And stepping into this immense challenge.
00:07:29.029 --> 00:07:31.565
Helping mothers who don't know where to begin again.
00:07:31.565 --> 00:07:34.134
Standing with paralyzed heroes.
00:07:34.134 --> 00:07:35.969
Fighting to take their first steps.
00:07:35.969 --> 00:07:38.171
Building centers of healing for the wounded
00:07:38.171 --> 00:07:40.607
And the traumatized.
00:07:40.607 --> 00:07:42.175
Bringing food and comfort to elderly israelis
00:07:42.175 --> 00:07:45.178
Who have no one else to care for them.
00:07:45.178 --> 00:07:48.382
To see the life saving work of the fellowship.
00:07:48.382 --> 00:07:51.418
Unfolding across israel right now.
00:07:51.418 --> 00:07:54.388
Visit ifc's dawg.
00:07:54.388 --> 00:07:57.994
Visit ifc's dawg.
00:07:57.994 --> 00:08:04.225
So, we have, mark roots or router or however
00:08:05.159 --> 00:08:08.362
You say router, and he is, senior official with nato. yep.
00:08:08.362 --> 00:08:12.900
And he's at davos and he's kind of
00:08:12.900 --> 00:08:16.337
I sympathize with him because, you know, he's clearly
00:08:16.337 --> 00:08:18.539
Must be having a hard time.
00:08:18.539 --> 00:08:20.007
He's a nato realist.
00:08:20.007 --> 00:08:21.275
He's a nato realist. yeah.
00:08:21.275 --> 00:08:22.443
And but he did say something
00:08:22.443 --> 00:08:24.011
Like a lot of people are not happy about it.
00:08:24.011 --> 00:08:25.513
And he basically said,
00:08:25.513 --> 00:08:26.914
Donald trump is right, that greenland is
00:08:26.914 --> 00:08:29.050
Strategically important.
00:08:29.050 --> 00:08:30.351
And i think he's got to make the case.
00:08:30.351 --> 00:08:33.020
If you're not going to give it to him,
00:08:33.020 --> 00:08:34.155
You have to
00:08:34.155 --> 00:08:35.256
Really up the defenses for it in a way that makes
00:08:35.256 --> 00:08:37.959
The security argument less credible.
00:08:37.959 --> 00:08:39.493
Let's play, clip 332.
00:08:39.493 --> 00:08:42.296
We need to defend the arctic.
00:08:42.296 --> 00:08:43.731
We know that the sea lanes are opening up.
00:08:43.731 --> 00:08:45.933
We know that china and russia are increasingly active
00:08:45.933 --> 00:08:49.036
In the arctic.
00:08:49.036 --> 00:08:50.271
Are eight countries bordering on the arctic.
00:08:50.271 --> 00:08:52.807
Seven are a member of nato.
00:08:52.807 --> 00:08:54.542
That's finland and sweden and norway and denmark,
00:08:54.542 --> 00:08:57.244
Iceland, canada and the us.
00:08:57.244 --> 00:08:59.747
And there's only one country bordering on the arctic outside
00:08:59.747 --> 00:09:02.483
Nato and russia.
00:09:02.483 --> 00:09:03.484
And i would argue there is a ninth country,
00:09:03.484 --> 00:09:05.386
Which is china,
00:09:05.386 --> 00:09:06.554
Which is increasingly active, in the arctic region.
00:09:06.554 --> 00:09:09.690
So president trump
00:09:09.690 --> 00:09:11.058
Not only has a right, we have to do more there.
00:09:11.058 --> 00:09:12.860
We have to protect the arctic
00:09:12.860 --> 00:09:14.495
Against russian and chinese influence.
00:09:14.495 --> 00:09:16.964
I've had this thought.
00:09:16.964 --> 00:09:17.765
I feel like it's so frustrating.
00:09:17.765 --> 00:09:20.434
The europeans, they have to act a certain way
00:09:20.434 --> 00:09:22.303
Because they just don't like trump a lot.
00:09:22.303 --> 00:09:24.372
And so, for example, this drama we had where they sent
00:09:24.372 --> 00:09:28.075
Their troops up, did you follow this?
00:09:28.075 --> 00:09:29.677
Yes. it was so silly that the uk, the german army,
00:09:29.677 --> 00:09:32.380
It was like they sent like five.
00:09:32.380 --> 00:09:33.447
The best one,
00:09:33.447 --> 00:09:34.515
The best one was germany, which sent 13 soldiers.
00:09:34.515 --> 00:09:36.951
But they didn't want to aggravate us by
00:09:36.951 --> 00:09:38.419
Get it, making it to military.
00:09:38.419 --> 00:09:39.920
So what they did is
00:09:39.920 --> 00:09:41.122
They took a big military plane and they landed it in denmark.
00:09:41.122 --> 00:09:44.725
And then they put the troops
00:09:44.725 --> 00:09:46.160
Onto a commercial flight, and they flew them to denmark
00:09:46.160 --> 00:09:48.729
On the commercial plane, and they stayed there for two days.
00:09:48.729 --> 00:09:51.165
They canceled a planned, sightseeing trip
00:09:51.165 --> 00:09:54.769
Because it was too cold. and then they
00:09:54.769 --> 00:09:56.270
Got on a commercial flight and they flew home.
00:09:56.270 --> 00:09:58.039
And they did all this as an obvious gesture.
00:09:58.939 --> 00:10:01.442
Oh, we're standing with denmark against america.
00:10:01.442 --> 00:10:04.512
I feel like they would create it.
00:10:04.512 --> 00:10:06.681
President trump loves wins.
00:10:06.681 --> 00:10:08.382
If they really don't
00:10:08.382 --> 00:10:09.550
Want to give away denmark, what they should have just.
00:10:09.550 --> 00:10:11.118
Or greenland,
00:10:11.118 --> 00:10:12.319
They should have just said, president trump is right here.
00:10:12.319 --> 00:10:14.622
We're calling a meeting.
00:10:14.622 --> 00:10:15.956
Here's the 5 billion, 10 billion,
00:10:15.956 --> 00:10:18.693
Some big amount of money
00:10:18.693 --> 00:10:19.894
And like deployment of troops we're ready to do
00:10:19.894 --> 00:10:22.196
In the arctic.
00:10:22.196 --> 00:10:23.464
And we're going to pay for it.
00:10:23.464 --> 00:10:25.366
Well, we'll pay for america
00:10:25.366 --> 00:10:26.667
To expand their bases in the arctic.
00:10:26.667 --> 00:10:28.035
We'll pay for this golden dome base he wants to build.
00:10:28.035 --> 00:10:30.538
There you go.
00:10:30.538 --> 00:10:31.539
And then president trump, he loves to tout wins.
00:10:31.539 --> 00:10:34.308
He comes back and he's like, i made this great deal.
00:10:34.308 --> 00:10:36.343
We're expanding our bases
00:10:36.343 --> 00:10:37.678
In the arctic and they're paying for all it.
00:10:37.678 --> 00:10:40.314
We've seen how he does this.
00:10:40.314 --> 00:10:41.282
President trump loves making deals on things,
00:10:41.282 --> 00:10:43.617
And it's so frustrating that they're not reacting that way.
00:10:43.617 --> 00:10:47.421
And instead
00:10:47.421 --> 00:10:48.355
We get both sides digging in their heels.
00:10:48.355 --> 00:10:50.057
And we might get a renewed trade war
00:10:50.057 --> 00:10:51.926
Out of this potentially.
00:10:51.926 --> 00:10:53.160
But in defense of a strong u.s.
00:10:53.160 --> 00:10:57.064
Imperial economic military force,
00:10:57.064 --> 00:11:00.101
I just have to say i love it because trump is calling b.s.
00:11:00.101 --> 00:11:03.637
On a lot of this stuff where, you know, europe is weak,
00:11:03.637 --> 00:11:07.708
They haven't grown.
00:11:07.708 --> 00:11:08.909
They're the, you know, you've got germany
00:11:08.909 --> 00:11:10.911
That's industrialized itself over the last few years.
00:11:10.911 --> 00:11:14.115
Energy prices are soaring.
00:11:14.682 --> 00:11:16.016
They produce less energy than they did.
00:11:16.016 --> 00:11:17.985
I think energy prices up like 75% in germany.
00:11:17.985 --> 00:11:20.554
And they produce 20% less than they did in 2017.
00:11:20.554 --> 00:11:23.657
Huge, huge strategic mistake.
00:11:23.657 --> 00:11:25.359
Meanwhile, president trump's bringing in $1,718
00:11:25.359 --> 00:11:28.095
Trillion of direct investment, foreign direct investment
00:11:28.095 --> 00:11:31.098
Businesses investing in the country.
00:11:31.098 --> 00:11:33.234
We've got nuclear plants, the brand new ones
00:11:33.234 --> 00:11:36.036
That are a lot safer, a lot more efficient, smaller
00:11:36.036 --> 00:11:39.206
Building those all over the country,
00:11:39.206 --> 00:11:40.875
Building new plants, building new factories.
00:11:40.875 --> 00:11:42.943
Gdp could very well be over 5%.
00:11:42.943 --> 00:11:46.280
We have a lot going for us and we are investing
00:11:46.280 --> 00:11:48.916
A lot in our military.
00:11:48.916 --> 00:11:49.917
All right. listen, i'd love to cut the debt.
00:11:49.917 --> 00:11:51.352
I'd love to i'd love to decrease spending.
00:11:51.352 --> 00:11:53.954
Those are let's put those to the side.
00:11:53.954 --> 00:11:55.689
Those are problems.
00:11:55.689 --> 00:11:56.857
But there's a lot
00:11:56.857 --> 00:11:57.925
Going for america that is not going for europe.
00:11:57.925 --> 00:11:59.727
And europe knows it.
00:11:59.727 --> 00:12:01.195
America is strong.
00:12:01.195 --> 00:12:02.296
It's aggressive. it's robust. it's muscular.
00:12:02.296 --> 00:12:04.565
Especially under president trump.
00:12:04.565 --> 00:12:05.833
Europe is a malaise.
00:12:05.833 --> 00:12:06.934
Europe is stagnant, stagnant growth.
00:12:06.934 --> 00:12:08.903
Europe has a migration problem that is not going away
00:12:08.903 --> 00:12:11.906
Anytime soon. they lack political will.
00:12:11.906 --> 00:12:13.974
They're fighting a rise of right wing
00:12:13.974 --> 00:12:16.043
Populism and nationalism in their own countries.
00:12:16.043 --> 00:12:18.145
And they're distracted and they have a fertility problem.
00:12:18.145 --> 00:12:20.915
So you've got all of these things.
00:12:20.915 --> 00:12:23.450
And candidly,
00:12:23.450 --> 00:12:24.618
Europe knows that they can't fight american this
00:12:24.618 --> 00:12:27.154
They can't even out negotiate america on this.
00:12:27.154 --> 00:12:29.190
Trump is right to call their bluff and say,
00:12:29.190 --> 00:12:31.158
You would be nothing without us.
00:12:31.158 --> 00:12:32.526
As a matter of fact, i think we have a clip
00:12:32.526 --> 00:12:34.261
That says just that, that nato would be nothing,
00:12:34.261 --> 00:12:37.531
And we asked for nothing.
00:12:37.531 --> 00:12:38.699
He kind of mentioned that before.
00:12:38.699 --> 00:12:40.467
But this is this is the truth of the situation.
00:12:40.467 --> 00:12:43.804
I love that president trump is calling it,
00:12:43.804 --> 00:12:47.641
You know, here's a here's another
00:12:47.641 --> 00:12:49.343
Clip that i think is really important
00:12:49.343 --> 00:12:50.711
Here, actually, it sort of plays into it.
00:12:50.711 --> 00:12:52.446
329 recent decades, it became
00:12:52.446 --> 00:12:56.150
Conventional wisdom in washington and european
00:12:56.150 --> 00:12:59.587
Capitals that the only way to grow a modern western
00:12:59.587 --> 00:13:02.423
Economy was through ever increasing government spending,
00:13:02.423 --> 00:13:06.093
Unchecked mass migration, and endless foreign imports.
00:13:06.093 --> 00:13:10.197
So why that plays in
00:13:10.664 --> 00:13:11.966
Is that trump has reversed the trend on those pieces.
00:13:11.966 --> 00:13:15.569
We have read reverse migration.
00:13:15.569 --> 00:13:17.805
Europe has not heard of it.
00:13:17.805 --> 00:13:19.540
But you have to be careful.
00:13:19.540 --> 00:13:20.708
For example, he says, we've never asked for anything.
00:13:20.708 --> 00:13:22.343
But the danes certainly remember
00:13:22.343 --> 00:13:24.612
They did send troops to afghanistan.
00:13:24.612 --> 00:13:26.380
43 of them died there.
00:13:26.380 --> 00:13:28.349
That's a lot for a country of 5 million people.
00:13:28.349 --> 00:13:31.218
Well, and i mean, in the book, if you date your friends,
00:13:31.218 --> 00:13:35.723
You won't have as many friends in the future.
00:13:35.723 --> 00:13:37.658
We'll talk about it with jack posobiec.
00:13:37.658 --> 00:13:38.959
He's going to be coming in live from davos next.
00:13:38.959 --> 00:13:45.833
Where are the tears from the pain.
00:13:46.567 --> 00:13:50.170
The life that she lived.
00:13:50.170 --> 00:13:52.306
She's a survivor of auschwitz.
00:13:52.306 --> 00:13:55.743
The years that they would just beat her ears.
00:13:55.743 --> 00:13:58.512
That she didn't have food and felt hungry.
00:13:58.512 --> 00:14:01.815
And our answer is love.
00:14:02.316 --> 00:14:05.552
Before, with a gift of only $25.
00:14:05.552 --> 00:14:08.756
You'll deliver a life saving food box into the hands
00:14:08.756 --> 00:14:11.926
Of an elderly jew in need.
00:14:11.926 --> 00:14:14.662
I wasn't only saying people have a heart.
00:14:14.662 --> 00:14:17.665
There are good people today.
00:14:17.665 --> 00:14:19.466
Call, scan or go online now.
00:14:19.466 --> 00:14:22.236
And the international
00:14:22.236 --> 00:14:23.370
Fellowship of christians
00:14:23.370 --> 00:14:24.638
And jews will rush your food box today saudi arabia.
00:14:24.638 --> 00:14:28.509
This is a holy moment.
00:14:28.509 --> 00:14:30.277
What you're doing is not simply being kind.
00:14:30.277 --> 00:14:33.681
You are prophetically stepping into the scriptures
00:14:33.681 --> 00:14:37.518
And being part of their redemption and our own.
00:14:37.518 --> 00:14:41.021
Please call, scan or go online now.
00:14:41.021 --> 00:14:44.987
Please call, scan or go online now.
00:14:44.987 --> 00:14:50.823
And they should last, which was two one video.
00:14:51.724 --> 00:14:56.028
Trump i don't think they were number
00:14:56.028 --> 00:14:57.196
Three soon you what to eat
00:14:57.196 --> 00:15:00.666
You standard
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:02.802
Crazy in the choice to come.
00:15:02.802 --> 00:15:06.072
So what he says there is you'll see it will happen quickly.
00:15:06.072 --> 00:15:08.374
Soon.
00:15:08.374 --> 00:15:09.275
They being the europeans, the leaders,
00:15:09.275 --> 00:15:11.811
Will all stand at the feet of the master america.
00:15:11.811 --> 00:15:15.448
And we'll gently wag their tails.
00:15:15.448 --> 00:15:17.216
Everything will fall into place, you'll see.
00:15:17.216 --> 00:15:19.652
So he's he's basically observing that they're playing
00:15:19.652 --> 00:15:22.188
Tough. now.
00:15:22.188 --> 00:15:23.155
They're signaling strength and all of this
00:15:23.155 --> 00:15:25.558
Because they don't like trump.
00:15:25.558 --> 00:15:26.692
They don't like they feel like they're getting bullied.
00:15:26.692 --> 00:15:28.894
But putin says they'll all fall in line.
00:15:28.894 --> 00:15:31.731
Joining us now is jack posobiec.
00:15:31.731 --> 00:15:33.432
He's live from davos, switzerland.
00:15:33.432 --> 00:15:36.135
He's been, providing some behind
00:15:36.135 --> 00:15:37.570
The scenes clips that have been really fascinating to watch.
00:15:37.570 --> 00:15:39.672
Jack, we're talking about this dynamic between european
00:15:39.672 --> 00:15:43.209
Elites, the leadership and president trump.
00:15:43.209 --> 00:15:45.277
Obviously there's tension.
00:15:45.277 --> 00:15:46.379
There's tension about greenland.
00:15:46.379 --> 00:15:47.580
There's tension about nato, nato funding.
00:15:47.580 --> 00:15:50.149
There's flirtations with china.
00:15:50.149 --> 00:15:52.018
Tell us what you're feeling and seeing in the room.
00:15:52.018 --> 00:15:54.854
There's this this dynamic between atlantic allies.
00:15:54.854 --> 00:16:02.261
Yeah.
00:16:02.495 --> 00:16:02.995
Andrew okay, guys.
00:16:02.995 --> 00:16:04.063
That's exactly right. and you know, we're here.
00:16:04.063 --> 00:16:05.398
We're in the room.
00:16:05.398 --> 00:16:06.098
I remember four years ago
00:16:06.098 --> 00:16:07.299
My very first davos calling in to the charlie kirk show
00:16:07.299 --> 00:16:10.436
Right after getting detained by the world economic forum.
00:16:10.436 --> 00:16:13.873
So you know
00:16:14.206 --> 00:16:15.408
Here we are four years later, we're inside the building
00:16:15.408 --> 00:16:17.943
Where they're in the room with president trump.
00:16:17.943 --> 00:16:20.179
And he and the u.s.
00:16:20.179 --> 00:16:21.213
Team, they're still kind of going around here.
00:16:21.213 --> 00:16:23.082
So he's holding those sideline meetings as we speak.
00:16:23.082 --> 00:16:25.951
There's going to be a reception a little bit later.
00:16:25.951 --> 00:16:27.553
But you're right there.
00:16:27.553 --> 00:16:28.621
There really is this sort of tension.
00:16:28.621 --> 00:16:30.456
There's this sort of,
00:16:30.456 --> 00:16:31.557
You know, i would say even kind of a cynicism
00:16:31.557 --> 00:16:35.261
Of some of the european leaders saying that,
00:16:35.261 --> 00:16:37.897
Oh, trump is so ridiculous, this will never work.
00:16:37.897 --> 00:16:39.999
This will never happen.
00:16:39.999 --> 00:16:41.067
We can, you know, we can be rude to him.
00:16:41.067 --> 00:16:42.768
But at the same time, you've come to understand that.
00:16:42.768 --> 00:16:45.438
And certainly in the room we saw this,
00:16:45.438 --> 00:16:46.806
There were a lot of people laughing at his jokes.
00:16:46.806 --> 00:16:48.941
They were sort of rolling with the punches,
00:16:48.941 --> 00:16:50.376
Rolling with the laughter.
00:16:50.376 --> 00:16:51.544
And i think that it this time around, given
00:16:51.544 --> 00:16:53.546
That he's been on the world stage for so many years,
00:16:53.546 --> 00:16:57.116
They, they've started to,
00:16:57.116 --> 00:16:58.684
Take that that old scott adams phrase where they,
00:16:58.684 --> 00:17:01.187
They take him seriously, but they don't take him literally.
00:17:01.187 --> 00:17:05.224
And what that means is that they're serious
00:17:05.224 --> 00:17:06.926
About his intentions, but they understand that
00:17:06.926 --> 00:17:09.195
A lot of what he's doing, he's going into his salesman
00:17:09.195 --> 00:17:11.997
Pitch, he's going into his art.
00:17:11.997 --> 00:17:14.100
He's saying things for a fact over and over again.
00:17:14.100 --> 00:17:16.769
And it seemed that at least in the room,
00:17:16.769 --> 00:17:18.671
A lot of people got that.
00:17:18.671 --> 00:17:19.939
Yeah.
00:17:19.939 --> 00:17:20.873
It's very, nicely mentioned that, jack.
00:17:20.873 --> 00:17:22.708
I was no joke.
00:17:22.708 --> 00:17:23.642
I was reading the other day
00:17:23.642 --> 00:17:24.710
The members of the norwegian nobel prize committee,
00:17:24.710 --> 00:17:27.113
And one of them is this foreign policy blogger,
00:17:27.113 --> 00:17:28.981
And he actually had a thing he wrote on
00:17:28.981 --> 00:17:31.484
The greenland drama, and he basically said,
00:17:31.484 --> 00:17:34.186
Trump is always in negotiation mode.
00:17:34.186 --> 00:17:37.857
And that means he's always trying to keep people off
00:17:37.857 --> 00:17:40.292
Balance.
00:17:40.292 --> 00:17:40.926
He's he'll like shock them
00:17:40.926 --> 00:17:42.228
By being really aggressive with what he says.
00:17:42.228 --> 00:17:45.731
He'll consider any offer.
00:17:45.731 --> 00:17:48.033
He's always ready to make a deal.
00:17:48.033 --> 00:17:49.101
And it's just so disorienting
00:17:49.101 --> 00:17:50.536
Compared to how a normal person is.
00:17:50.536 --> 00:17:52.838
It's them and it and it kind of relies a bit on, you know,
00:17:52.838 --> 00:17:56.008
The old nixon idea, the madman theory, like
00:17:56.008 --> 00:17:58.144
Part of his negotiation position
00:17:58.144 --> 00:17:59.912
Is to basically be like, i'm super serious.
00:17:59.912 --> 00:18:02.114
I'm ready to invade.
00:18:02.114 --> 00:18:03.315
I've i've thrown out the brakes on my car.
00:18:03.315 --> 00:18:05.518
I've thrown out the steering wheel.
00:18:05.518 --> 00:18:07.019
Nothing can stop me.
00:18:07.019 --> 00:18:08.420
And then he actually can just stop
00:18:08.420 --> 00:18:10.422
And make the deal very abruptly.
00:18:10.422 --> 00:18:12.725
I completely agree.
00:18:12.725 --> 00:18:13.926
This is what, again, we talked about this guy, josh wolff.
00:18:13.926 --> 00:18:17.696
Jack, who kind of, you know, he said,
00:18:17.696 --> 00:18:20.633
This is classic trump negotiation sequence.
00:18:20.633 --> 00:18:23.702
It goes like this.
00:18:23.702 --> 00:18:24.770
Signal acquisition denmark scoffs mention force.
00:18:24.770 --> 00:18:27.239
Denmark recoils.
00:18:27.239 --> 00:18:28.307
Insist on force loudly, repeatedly.
00:18:28.307 --> 00:18:30.910
Denmark reaches peak indignation.
00:18:30.910 --> 00:18:32.845
Others come to their side, then pivot a purchase
00:18:32.845 --> 00:18:35.247
Offer that eliminates denmark's entire national debt 142
00:18:35.247 --> 00:18:38.050
Billion and nearly doubles greenland's gdp 450 billion.
00:18:38.050 --> 00:18:41.754
And suddenly the question is no longer how dare you?
00:18:41.754 --> 00:18:43.822
But wait, how much is.
00:18:43.822 --> 00:18:47.159
What do you think, jack?
00:18:47.159 --> 00:18:49.295
Yeah, exactly.
00:18:49.628 --> 00:18:51.297
So i think that's exactly the path
00:18:51.297 --> 00:18:53.499
That i'm trying to see this.
00:18:53.499 --> 00:18:54.567
And if anyone wants to know what this is called,
00:18:54.567 --> 00:18:56.101
It's literally called the art of the deal.
00:18:56.101 --> 00:18:57.937
President trump wrote a book about this about 40 years ago,
00:18:57.937 --> 00:19:00.806
Where he outlines that specific policy in great detail.
00:19:00.806 --> 00:19:04.410
He says it's what he does every single time
00:19:04.410 --> 00:19:06.812
He's in a high stakes negotiation.
00:19:06.812 --> 00:19:08.514
I think it's really interesting that so many people either
00:19:08.514 --> 00:19:11.317
Haven't actually read that book,
00:19:11.317 --> 00:19:13.385
Haven't seen him do it a million times already,
00:19:13.385 --> 00:19:15.554
And that they still seem to fall for the same exact trick.
00:19:15.554 --> 00:19:19.358
Now, one of the things that i did think was interesting,
00:19:19.358 --> 00:19:21.627
You know, coming at it
00:19:21.627 --> 00:19:22.795
From a military perspective as well, that he did talk
00:19:22.795 --> 00:19:25.397
About the need for greenland, not just we've heard from,
00:19:25.397 --> 00:19:27.800
You know, the arctic shipping routes.
00:19:27.800 --> 00:19:29.335
We've also heard it from the national security
00:19:29.335 --> 00:19:31.170
In terms of those sea lanes.
00:19:31.170 --> 00:19:32.605
But he also talked
00:19:32.605 --> 00:19:33.806
About ballistic missile defense and really talked
00:19:33.806 --> 00:19:36.408
About the golden dome,
00:19:36.408 --> 00:19:37.509
Those intercontinental ballistic missiles,
00:19:37.509 --> 00:19:39.211
Whether they're fired off
00:19:39.211 --> 00:19:40.212
From china, russia, north korea,
00:19:40.212 --> 00:19:41.880
Even if iran, if they were able to develop
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:43.616
The those long range ballistic missiles,
00:19:43.616 --> 00:19:45.618
They would be flying them
00:19:45.618 --> 00:19:46.719
Over the top, targeting washington dc, and they would
00:19:46.719 --> 00:19:49.722
Inevitably fall within the territory of greenland,
00:19:49.722 --> 00:19:53.058
Making greenland a key position, key point
00:19:53.058 --> 00:19:56.128
For the united states in any type of missile defense.
00:19:56.128 --> 00:19:58.831
And i haven't really seen him use that phrasing
00:19:58.831 --> 00:20:02.134
And use that phrase.
00:20:02.134 --> 00:20:03.068
He put it all together on the world stage.
00:20:03.068 --> 00:20:05.604
He kind of presaged it
00:20:05.604 --> 00:20:06.839
In an interview yesterday, but today was the really big one.
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:09.742
And i think that for anyone who's looking at it seriously,
00:20:09.742 --> 00:20:12.378
He makes some very solid military points there.
00:20:12.378 --> 00:20:15.014
Yeah, no, i agree,
00:20:15.014 --> 00:20:16.015
I think the icbm argument is pretty strong.
00:20:16.015 --> 00:20:18.984
And i loved him name checking
00:20:18.984 --> 00:20:21.687
Carney, telling him to to know his role, know his place.
00:20:21.687 --> 00:20:24.623
I think that's important, actually.
00:20:24.623 --> 00:20:26.158
There's another dynamic that's a little bit
00:20:27.059 --> 00:20:28.594
More on the domestic home front here. jack.
00:20:28.594 --> 00:20:30.229
There's you got gavin newsom wandering around.
00:20:30.229 --> 00:20:32.398
He's calling scott besson smug.
00:20:32.398 --> 00:20:34.266
Scott besson
00:20:34.266 --> 00:20:35.401
Had the line of the day, i think hitting him back 314
00:20:35.401 --> 00:20:39.104
Gives you a very, very,
00:20:39.605 --> 00:20:43.509
Ironic that, you know,
00:20:43.976 --> 00:20:45.878
Governor newsom who strikes me is patrick bateman,
00:20:45.878 --> 00:20:48.480
The sparkle beach.
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:49.348
Ken,
00:20:49.348 --> 00:20:50.582
May be the only californian who knows less about economics.
00:20:50.582 --> 00:20:54.353
And kamala harris,
00:20:54.353 --> 00:20:56.955
The, he's here
00:20:56.955 --> 00:20:58.424
This week with his billionaire sugar daddy, alex soros.
00:20:58.424 --> 00:21:02.161
I've seen you behind the scenes.
00:21:02.161 --> 00:21:03.762
You've got an iphone video of gavin newsom.
00:21:03.762 --> 00:21:07.032
What the heck is going on with this?
00:21:07.032 --> 00:21:08.367
What does he think he's in accomplishes this?
00:21:08.367 --> 00:21:09.735
It's just all about 2028 for him.
00:21:09.735 --> 00:21:12.204
I think it is. he's bird dogging.
00:21:12.204 --> 00:21:14.073
He's trying to get his name out there.
00:21:14.073 --> 00:21:15.374
He wants people to put him in the same conversation as trump.
00:21:15.374 --> 00:21:18.811
He's trying to put himself on
00:21:18.811 --> 00:21:19.678
The same level as, mark carney trudeau.
00:21:19.678 --> 00:21:22.514
He is here as well. actually, alex harris
00:21:22.514 --> 00:21:24.116
Just walked by a couple of minutes ago.
00:21:24.116 --> 00:21:26.185
I saw him just kind of darting out the,
00:21:26.185 --> 00:21:27.853
Out the way before he could see me.
00:21:27.853 --> 00:21:29.555
And, funny enough,
00:21:29.555 --> 00:21:30.622
I actually went up to that interview where i,
00:21:30.622 --> 00:21:33.192
You know, he was coming out here doing a gaggle.
00:21:33.192 --> 00:21:35.194
I walked up, you know, his his press
00:21:35.194 --> 00:21:36.995
Guy was trying to say, oh, no, jack.
00:21:36.995 --> 00:21:38.797
No, not him, not to sobek.
00:21:38.797 --> 00:21:40.232
I said, you know, guys, it'll be fine.
00:21:40.232 --> 00:21:42.101
Let me in and ask him a question.
00:21:42.101 --> 00:21:45.304
Do you have any comment regarding don lemon
00:21:45.304 --> 00:21:48.040
And the agitators at the minneapolis church
00:21:48.040 --> 00:21:50.776
Up there in, when they were barging in,
00:21:50.776 --> 00:21:53.112
He said he hadn't heard about it.
00:21:53.112 --> 00:21:54.480
I explained the situation once again.
00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:56.315
He said he hadn't heard about it. so.
00:21:56.315 --> 00:21:58.417
Well, we'll see what kind of what kind of situation that is.
00:21:58.417 --> 00:22:01.086
But i did very quickly,
00:22:01.086 --> 00:22:02.521
You know, he caught my name and i saw this press guy
00:22:02.521 --> 00:22:05.290
Sort of saying, oh, that's jack posobiec.
00:22:05.290 --> 00:22:06.792
And i mentioned to him, i said, hey, hey,
00:22:06.792 --> 00:22:08.861
Governor newsom, i was friends with charlie
00:22:08.861 --> 00:22:10.596
And and and gavin, you know, he kind of kind of touched
00:22:10.596 --> 00:22:13.098
His heart for a second there and said, he said, wow, wow.
00:22:13.098 --> 00:22:16.168
And, you know, i think that was a really,
00:22:16.168 --> 00:22:18.137
You know, really humanizing moment.
00:22:18.137 --> 00:22:19.638
I remember charlie and he had had that
00:22:19.638 --> 00:22:21.273
That incredible interview that they had done together.
00:22:21.273 --> 00:22:23.475
So i thought it be a little,
00:22:23.475 --> 00:22:24.676
Little way to break the ice a little bit.
00:22:24.676 --> 00:22:26.044
Yeah. jack posobiec.
00:22:26.044 --> 00:22:27.846
God bless you, man. stay safe.
00:22:27.846 --> 00:22:29.681
Keep getting those questions in with the with the,
00:22:29.681 --> 00:22:32.351
World leaders. we appreciate man. talk to you soon.
00:22:32.351 --> 00:22:37.122
As this year draws to an end,
00:22:37.756 --> 00:22:39.224
I'd like to express my
00:22:39.224 --> 00:22:40.592
Heartfelt gratitude to our partners, the fellowship
00:22:40.592 --> 00:22:43.595
Of christians and jews.
00:22:43.595 --> 00:22:45.130
And i'd like to say thank you to our audience
00:22:45.130 --> 00:22:47.566
Who have supported them in prayer, with finances
00:22:47.566 --> 00:22:49.802
And standing strong for the people of israel.
00:22:49.802 --> 00:22:51.904
The fellowship is one of america's
00:22:51.904 --> 00:22:53.372
Most beloved
00:22:53.372 --> 00:22:54.506
Organizations, spanning more than 40 years of ministry,
00:22:54.506 --> 00:22:56.942
Providing tangible help
00:22:56.942 --> 00:22:58.510
And comfort to the people of israel
