00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:03.319
<v Speaker 1>Hi, everybody. Welcome to the Right Side. Doug Billings here

2
00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>will you. Thanks for watching as I come to you

3
00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:08.560
<v Speaker 1>from smack dab in the middle of the fruited plane

4
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>as I always do four o'clock Central time. We are

5
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:14.560
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about Greenland today, going to talk about

6
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:18.079
<v Speaker 1>Greenland and why it makes sense it's happening not being

7
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:22.120
<v Speaker 1>reported widely in the mainstream media. Doesn't surprise you, of course,

8
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:26.079
<v Speaker 1>but Greenland is poised to become a territory of the

9
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:29.399
<v Speaker 1>United States. They just had some elections over there, their

10
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:33.920
<v Speaker 1>center right party one, and conversations with President Trump and

11
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:36.679
<v Speaker 1>our government are continuing. I wouldn't be surprised if this

12
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:40.159
<v Speaker 1>happens sooner rather than later. Folks. All of that and

13
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:42.439
<v Speaker 1>much more, Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready? The Right

14
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:44.799
<v Speaker 1>Side with Doug Billings is now upon you.

15
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Hey, everybody, my name is General Mike Flynn. I'm here

16
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:49.960
<v Speaker 2>to do a big shout out for my great friend

17
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.280
<v Speaker 2>and one of the best in the business, mister Doug Billings.

18
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Right side with Doug Billings. Right side with Doug Billins.

19
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:58.520
<v Speaker 2>Doug is the future of the airwaves when it comes

20
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:02.840
<v Speaker 2>to independent broadcasters, and he is the new rush Limbaw.

21
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:07.400
<v Speaker 2>He's exactly what America needs right now, looking for honesty,

22
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.200
<v Speaker 2>looking for wisdom, looking for truth, looking for patriotism. Listen

23
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 2>to Doug Billings at right Side with Doug Billings, God

24
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.280
<v Speaker 2>bless you, and God bless America, and thank you.

25
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Ladies and gentlemen. We are winning. We're winning, winning, winning.

26
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the right Side with Doug Billings. Are you ready?

27
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:27.319
<v Speaker 1>We are not.

28
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.760
<v Speaker 3>Liberal snowflakes who mild away in the face of tragedy.

29
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Adversity, and challenge.

30
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:35.760
<v Speaker 3>We are a covenant nation under God and his divine

31
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:38.239
<v Speaker 3>providence is not dead and it's not gone.

32
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.439
<v Speaker 1>It is living within each and every one of you, and.

33
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.079
<v Speaker 3>You will bring it to life in such a way

34
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:49.040
<v Speaker 3>that the world has never seen before. We never back down,

35
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:50.719
<v Speaker 3>we never give up.

36
00:01:50.959 --> 00:02:03.879
<v Speaker 1>We march forward. And here we go, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, Greenland.

37
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.920
<v Speaker 1>So I'm already starting to get chat messages and texts

38
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:08.759
<v Speaker 1>and so forth. And I love seeing all of you

39
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.159
<v Speaker 1>over there. It's happening, and it's gonna happen, I think

40
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:16.919
<v Speaker 1>sooner rather than later, this whole Greenland thing, and why not?

41
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.439
<v Speaker 1>It makes sense, It makes sense on multiple levels. And

42
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>we're going to talk our way through most of these

43
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 1>here it sounds something like, you know, you pick up

44
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:31.400
<v Speaker 1>a geopolitical fiction magazine and you're reading this and you're

45
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.479
<v Speaker 1>thinking yourself, Billings, what in the hell are you talking about?

46
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.919
<v Speaker 1>What are you thinking? Greenland? Come on, man, United States

47
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.319
<v Speaker 1>acquires territories every once in a while in our history,

48
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:43.520
<v Speaker 1>and this is a strategic one in many ways, it

49
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.680
<v Speaker 1>makes sense. You're gonna have another appreciation for this when

50
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:49.759
<v Speaker 1>we're finished with our conversation today, because there's a case

51
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 1>to be made, and it's really stronger than most people

52
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:58.319
<v Speaker 1>think it is. And so grab your cup of coffee,

53
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>you grab your adult beverage, because we're going to dive

54
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 1>in and we're gonna listen and talk to talk our

55
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 1>way through what it would mean. And above all else,

56
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:11.960
<v Speaker 1>why why is President Trump so interested in Greenland? Some

57
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:14.039
<v Speaker 1>people say, oh, he's just joking, This is just typical

58
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.879
<v Speaker 1>Trump sense of humor. He's not joking, folks. This is

59
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:20.680
<v Speaker 1>beyond that. This is a serious geopolitical issue that's happening

60
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.439
<v Speaker 1>right before our very eyes. And there are more people

61
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>who are in favor of it within Greenland and the

62
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:31.759
<v Speaker 1>United States than there are against it. So the let

63
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>me set the scene. Greenland, in case your educational systems

64
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:42.280
<v Speaker 1>in the United States failed you, is a large continent

65
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>mostly made of ice, right, rock, and frozen tundra. It's

66
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>up in the Northern Atlantic, and technically it's part of

67
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.759
<v Speaker 1>the Kingdom of Denmark, but it has a lot of

68
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.479
<v Speaker 1>its own autonomy, can make most of its own decisions,

69
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:59.159
<v Speaker 1>and so forth, Denmark does not rule over Greenland with

70
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:03.000
<v Speaker 1>an iron fist. It's got a very small population, about

71
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 1>fifty six thousand people that wouldn't even halfway fill up

72
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Arrowhead Stadium for a Chief's football game. So fifty six

73
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:17.079
<v Speaker 1>thousand people, and it's mostly ice right, like I said,

74
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.000
<v Speaker 1>like eighty percent of it is covered in an ice sheet.

75
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:25.560
<v Speaker 1>But don't let that fool you, because underneath that frozen

76
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 1>wasteland is a gold mine and maybe we should say

77
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>an ice mine. But a lot of minerals, a lot

78
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:38.240
<v Speaker 1>of rare earth minerals there. And the United States actually

79
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:40.560
<v Speaker 1>had its eye on Greenland for a long time back

80
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:44.079
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen forty six, believe it or not, President Truman.

81
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:49.480
<v Speaker 1>President Truman offered Denmark one hundred million dollars for it,

82
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>and then, of course, one of our favorite presidents again

83
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:59.079
<v Speaker 1>now currently floating the idea of acquiring Greenland for ourselves.

84
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 1>But here's here's why, in very serious terms, here's why.

85
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna list several points here. Point number one, why

86
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 1>does it make sense for Greenland to become a territory

87
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:11.800
<v Speaker 1>of the United States. So the next time you're at

88
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.439
<v Speaker 1>your cocktail party and some liberal comes up and starts

89
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.879
<v Speaker 1>lambasting the idea of why Trump continually talks about Greenland

90
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>and so forth, this is not Trump is joking when

91
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:26.399
<v Speaker 1>he mentions Canada, okay, is becoming a state. That's a

92
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.959
<v Speaker 1>joke he does. He's only pushing the buttons of the

93
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:32.959
<v Speaker 1>Prime Minister and and the you know, the folks on

94
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.879
<v Speaker 1>the radical left in our country. He's only trolling them

95
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:40.160
<v Speaker 1>with Greenland. It's a whole different animal, whole different story.

96
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:45.639
<v Speaker 1>So the first point strategic power in the Arctic, Okay,

97
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>the big one strategy. Greenland's location is unreal It's perfect

98
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:56.399
<v Speaker 1>for us. It it it sits right at the crossroads

99
00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:02.079
<v Speaker 1>of North America, Europe and the Arctic, so perfectly positioned

100
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.680
<v Speaker 1>for a strategic location for a United States territory. If

101
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:07.480
<v Speaker 1>you've got a map of the world in your head,

102
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:09.399
<v Speaker 1>or if you've got one handy there in your home

103
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.959
<v Speaker 1>or your office wherever you are, pull it up and

104
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.240
<v Speaker 1>look at it real quick. It's a giant stepping stone

105
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.399
<v Speaker 1>between Greenland is a giant stepping stone between the United

106
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>States and some pretty key global players out there. And

107
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.720
<v Speaker 1>in a world where the Arctic is heating up literally

108
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:29.720
<v Speaker 1>and figuratively, that matters now more than ever. The Arctic's

109
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:31.800
<v Speaker 1>ice is melting, There's no doubt about it. But this

110
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.600
<v Speaker 1>is a continual cycle. This is not human made global

111
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>warming I'm talking about. This is the human This is

112
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:41.360
<v Speaker 1>the Earth's cycle of warming and cooling, warming and cooling.

113
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>It's been going on since the beginning of time. So

114
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:45.600
<v Speaker 1>don't think that I'm coming down in favor of the

115
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>climate coops, the climate change cookes. I'm not. In a

116
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.040
<v Speaker 1>world where the Arctic is figuring, is heating up and

117
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:59.639
<v Speaker 1>becoming a figure of political geopolitical focus, Greenland becomes very

118
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:04.720
<v Speaker 1>important to the United States. The ice is melting, Okay,

119
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:07.519
<v Speaker 1>that's a scientific fact. Because the Earth is going through

120
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>its natural cycles. Okay, And as it does this, more

121
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>shipping routes are now opening, are are now opened. You've

122
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:19.920
<v Speaker 1>got the Northwest Passage exposing resources that everyone's starting to

123
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:24.000
<v Speaker 1>drool over. Every ruler of every country worth their salt

124
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:29.360
<v Speaker 1>is drooling over the oil, the gas, the rare earth minerals.

125
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:33.040
<v Speaker 1>It's a treasure chest up there in Greenland. And guests

126
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:39.279
<v Speaker 1>who's already circling the island, the usual suspects, Russia and China.

127
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Russia's got military bases popping up, like you know, like

128
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Arctic pop up shops, and China's investing billions of dollars

129
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:53.519
<v Speaker 1>in polar infrastructure up there in the polar regions that

130
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:57.240
<v Speaker 1>surround and border up and buttress against Greenland. The United

131
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.839
<v Speaker 1>States can't sit back and just watch this all happen.

132
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.040
<v Speaker 1>And so this is what's going on behind the scenes

133
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.120
<v Speaker 1>and why Trump is making a play for Greenland. Strategically,

134
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Greenland's already got a United States presence there, so that's

135
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:14.639
<v Speaker 1>to our advantage. No one else does. The Thuli Air

136
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Base up there in the northwestern part of the island,

137
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.079
<v Speaker 1>it's a critical part of not only our military in general,

138
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.680
<v Speaker 1>but especially our missile defense system. It also has a

139
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:29.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of our space force and space monitoring systems in

140
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:34.679
<v Speaker 1>that air base as well. So, but owning Greenland outright,

141
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:36.279
<v Speaker 1>how do we do that? How do we pull it off?

142
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:40.159
<v Speaker 1>That's the next level. It'll give us full control over

143
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:44.840
<v Speaker 1>a massive chunk of the Arctic and a permanent foothold

144
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.320
<v Speaker 1>to counter Russia's moves and to Chin and to keep

145
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:51.559
<v Speaker 1>China from cozying up too close up there in the Arctic.

146
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:57.279
<v Speaker 1>Imagine the leverage that we could have naval bases, airfields,

147
00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:01.679
<v Speaker 1>radar stations all locked in under the stars and the stripes,

148
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the American flag planted right there, a United States territory, Greenland.

149
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:12.720
<v Speaker 1>It's not just about defense. It's about projecting power. It's

150
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:18.879
<v Speaker 1>about projecting America first. It's about where it's gonna It's

151
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:21.159
<v Speaker 1>all about as we look into the future a little bit.

152
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:25.440
<v Speaker 1>It's all about projecting the next fifty years or so,

153
00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:29.600
<v Speaker 1>as we evolve into these new dynamics with other countries.

154
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:32.559
<v Speaker 1>It'll give us a foothold that no other country, Russia,

155
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:34.879
<v Speaker 1>China specifically is what I'm talking about, that they don't

156
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:38.879
<v Speaker 1>have and they and they can't get. So here's the kicker.

157
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Denmark's a NATO ally, but they're not exactly a military powerhouse. Right.

158
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:49.679
<v Speaker 1>No one is afraid of Denmark militarily speaking, but they're

159
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:52.480
<v Speaker 1>a member of NATO, which could play to our advantage.

160
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Greenland's defense relies heavily, as you might imagine, on the

161
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.639
<v Speaker 1>United States already making it a territory. Just formal that

162
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:05.480
<v Speaker 1>relationship and lets us double down without asking permission. That's

163
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.519
<v Speaker 1>point number one, the military and the strategic advantage of

164
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.360
<v Speaker 1>having Greenland as a territory. Point number two the economic

165
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.639
<v Speaker 1>upside of all of this. Okay, so it's a strategic

166
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:19.759
<v Speaker 1>slam dunk. We all get that. But what about the money.

167
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we're not just gonna pour cash into an

168
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>ice cube for fun, Right Well, Greenland's got some serious

169
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:32.159
<v Speaker 1>economic potential and the US could cash in big time.

170
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:35.600
<v Speaker 1>First up, it's the resources. That ice sheet up there

171
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.639
<v Speaker 1>that I mentioned underneath of it is stuff we want.

172
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Greenland's got rare earth minerals, those weird elements you know,

173
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:48.559
<v Speaker 1>like neodium and dystropium, and that go into everything from

174
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:53.320
<v Speaker 1>smartphones to computer chips and to wind turbines, et cetera.

175
00:10:53.720 --> 00:11:00.759
<v Speaker 1>Right now, China has a choke hold on that market. China.

176
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.480
<v Speaker 1>The last time I checked, they produced like sixty percent

177
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:07.759
<v Speaker 1>of the world supply of those minerals. If the United

178
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:12.440
<v Speaker 1>States controlled Greenland, we could mine those minerals ourselves, break

179
00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:17.440
<v Speaker 1>that dependency and boost our own tech industries, create jobs, innovation,

180
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:23.000
<v Speaker 1>provide security, all from rocks under the ice, ladies and gentlemen.

181
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Then there's fishing, I mean, for crying outlet, Greenland's waters

182
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.240
<v Speaker 1>teeming with cod, shrimp, hal of it, you name it,

183
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:34.360
<v Speaker 1>it's up there. The fishing industry would be huge for

184
00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:37.879
<v Speaker 1>the United States. Their fishing industry already is a big deal,

185
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:41.000
<v Speaker 1>but with the United States investment and our know how,

186
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>we could scale it up, export more feed into our

187
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:49.759
<v Speaker 1>own markets. Plus, as the Arctic opens up, Greenland's ports

188
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:54.720
<v Speaker 1>could become hubs for new trade routes of ours. Think

189
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:57.320
<v Speaker 1>of it like a northern Panama canal. That's a good

190
00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:01.600
<v Speaker 1>way to look at it, but obviously colder and with

191
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.720
<v Speaker 1>better views. So there's gives and takes up there. But

192
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.360
<v Speaker 1>don't sleep and don't count on just fishing and tourism

193
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.679
<v Speaker 1>and things like that. Greenland's got glaciers, the northern lights.

194
00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:17.039
<v Speaker 1>It's Instagram gold for people who want to go up

195
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:20.279
<v Speaker 1>there in vacation and explore. The United States can turn

196
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:25.720
<v Speaker 1>it into a destination location, build infrastructure, rake in billions

197
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.279
<v Speaker 1>of dollars from people who like to seek adventure up

198
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.679
<v Speaker 1>there and those kinds of landscapes. Sure, it'll take them

199
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:33.960
<v Speaker 1>up front cash to get things rolling. But with the

200
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.120
<v Speaker 1>money that we're saving because of DOGE, why not why

201
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:40.039
<v Speaker 1>not at least consider that investment so the money could

202
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:45.000
<v Speaker 1>be there and the payoff in the long term absolutely massive.

203
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.519
<v Speaker 1>This all makes sense. It's all being discussed behind the scenes.

204
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:53.639
<v Speaker 1>That's point two. Now point three, the environmental leadership that

205
00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:57.000
<v Speaker 1>we could provide. Okay, now I'm gonna flip the script

206
00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:01.240
<v Speaker 1>a bit here and talk about something greener literally the environment.

207
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:03.360
<v Speaker 1>And now I know what you're thinking, Wait a minute,

208
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:06.799
<v Speaker 1>are we taking over the island? And now you're going

209
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.240
<v Speaker 1>to talk about the green initiatives and so forth. I'm

210
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:12.960
<v Speaker 1>not talking about the Democratic liberal green initiatives. I'm talking

211
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:17.720
<v Speaker 1>that Greenland could be a chance for the United States

212
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.200
<v Speaker 1>to step up and be a global environmental leader in

213
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:25.159
<v Speaker 1>many ways. The ice sheet that I keep on mentioning

214
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:28.559
<v Speaker 1>up there, it's a big deal for climate science. We

215
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:32.879
<v Speaker 1>could host scientific meetings up there. Understand the cycles of

216
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:36.799
<v Speaker 1>the Earth that take place over thousands upon thousands of years.

217
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:40.360
<v Speaker 1>When you have ice sheets up there, it's like having

218
00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:44.080
<v Speaker 1>a hard drive storing data on Earth's climate, and we

219
00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:47.240
<v Speaker 1>could go back thousands of years just by coreing ice

220
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.559
<v Speaker 1>and looking down into it, literally looking back in time

221
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:54.559
<v Speaker 1>and understanding that these cycles of heating and cooling happen

222
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:58.279
<v Speaker 1>naturally and happen frequently throughout the life of the planet.

223
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:02.200
<v Speaker 1>We might not see the cycles in our small life,

224
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:05.639
<v Speaker 1>in our short lifespan, but in the history of the planet,

225
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:08.000
<v Speaker 1>these things, as you know, happen all the time. It's

226
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:12.320
<v Speaker 1>not man made. This is Earth, this is how it behaves.

227
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Researchers could drill those ice cores, figure out if there

228
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:19.519
<v Speaker 1>is a pattern, if there's a systematic pattern, if there's

229
00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:22.120
<v Speaker 1>a schedule, for lack of a better word, about these

230
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:24.840
<v Speaker 1>events when they begin to happen. We could fund bigger

231
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:28.919
<v Speaker 1>research stations up there, train more scientists, use the data

232
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:32.279
<v Speaker 1>to shape our global climate policy, and a way to

233
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:34.960
<v Speaker 1>influence the rest of the world. I'll say it, Hey,

234
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.399
<v Speaker 1>we're not just here for the resources. We're here to

235
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:40.840
<v Speaker 1>figure this planet out. And that becomes a moderate approach

236
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:43.399
<v Speaker 1>for people who might not view us with friendly tones.

237
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.000
<v Speaker 1>At least at the beginning of the United States talking

238
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.600
<v Speaker 1>about taking Greenland as a territory, plus the United States

239
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:53.399
<v Speaker 1>could invest in substantial projects where solar, wind, hydropower, all

240
00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:58.960
<v Speaker 1>those things, geothermal power, We've the Greenland's got the space

241
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:02.720
<v Speaker 1>and the conditions and the energy at large scales that

242
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:06.480
<v Speaker 1>we can all use to figure and study and learn

243
00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:09.000
<v Speaker 1>more about these things. Imagine a territory that's not just

244
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:13.960
<v Speaker 1>a research grab, but it's a showcase for the technology

245
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:15.960
<v Speaker 1>that we want to share with the world with regards

246
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:20.639
<v Speaker 1>to true environmental science. It would boost our credibility on

247
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:22.879
<v Speaker 1>the world stage, especially with folks who think that we're

248
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:27.440
<v Speaker 1>all about oil and gas and let's be real. Climate

249
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:29.720
<v Speaker 1>change is a happening thing. Again, my stance is that

250
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:33.840
<v Speaker 1>it's not necessarily man made. This is a secular event

251
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.600
<v Speaker 1>that happens in cycles throughout the history of Earth. If

252
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:39.679
<v Speaker 1>I've said at once, I say it a dozen times.

253
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:46.159
<v Speaker 1>The US could bring serious resources in engineering, funding, adapting technologies,

254
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:49.080
<v Speaker 1>and so forth as Greenland becomes one of our partners.

255
00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:52.440
<v Speaker 1>So that's I mean. Those are the points as I

256
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:55.559
<v Speaker 1>see them with regards to Greenland. Key among them, of course,

257
00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I think, is the military just the overall strategic value

258
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:01.960
<v Speaker 1>that it provides us that hold in the Northern Atlantic

259
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:05.320
<v Speaker 1>and the Arctic, China, Russia already beginning to make steps

260
00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:09.919
<v Speaker 1>to make themselves and give themselves footholds up there in

261
00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:13.200
<v Speaker 1>those areas. Why not do it? And it's really happening.

262
00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:15.480
<v Speaker 1>This is really being talked about behind the scenes. It

263
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.000
<v Speaker 1>doesn't get a lot of attention in the national media.

264
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.519
<v Speaker 1>But since I think the elections in Greenland just you know,

265
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:24.600
<v Speaker 1>they just had an election where they voted in the

266
00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:29.120
<v Speaker 1>center right party that agrees with this, at least at

267
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:34.840
<v Speaker 1>least initially, they're more welcoming and more open minded about

268
00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the United States and Greenland partnering and allowing Greenland to

269
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:41.519
<v Speaker 1>become a territory of the United States. So it's real.

270
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:44.600
<v Speaker 1>It's happening. And again I'll end where I began. I

271
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:47.120
<v Speaker 1>think it's going to happen sooner rather than later, ladies

272
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:51.679
<v Speaker 1>and gentlemen. So Greenland, USA, it's a deal. It's going

273
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:54.879
<v Speaker 1>to happen. I think that before I'm just going to

274
00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:56.799
<v Speaker 1>say before the end of this year, there's going to

275
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:00.879
<v Speaker 1>be significant movement on this topic, ladies and gentlem that's it, Okay.

276
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to be back later in the day and

277
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:05.920
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow with some other news of interest, a lot of

278
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.160
<v Speaker 1>current events, a lot of things doze. We have to

279
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:11.039
<v Speaker 1>talk about that. The Left has no sense of themselves

280
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:14.640
<v Speaker 1>and this topic Greenland doesn't do them any good either.

281
00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:17.359
<v Speaker 1>They have no countermeasures for any of this. We're going

282
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:20.200
<v Speaker 1>to be talking a lot about it. It's always good

283
00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:22.400
<v Speaker 1>to be with you. Please don't forget, though, to head

284
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:26.240
<v Speaker 1>over to Doug Billings dot us. Doug Billings dot us

<v Speaker 1>there are expenses and I would be just it just helps,

293
00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:56.160
<v Speaker 1>if you would consider please heading over to Doug Buildings

<v Speaker 1>dot us a very small donation on a monthly recurring

295
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:01.839
<v Speaker 1>basis to help me need to continue to deliver the
