[00:00:00] Friends, the Charlie Kirk Show team [00:00:02] here. America's debt bomb has blown [00:00:03] [music] past $37 trillion and it's [00:00:07] climbing every second. President Trump [00:00:09] is fighting for [music] fair trade and [00:00:10] strong borders to slow the train wreck. [00:00:12] But the numbers don't lie. When debt [00:00:14] grows this fast, it can threaten your [00:00:16] savings and your family's future. That's [00:00:18] why more Americans are turning to real [00:00:20] assets like [music] gold and silver. I [00:00:22] work with and recommend Preserve Gold. [00:00:24] They make it simple to own physical gold [00:00:26] and silver, even inside your retirement [00:00:28] accounts, like an IRA or 401k. Text [00:00:31] [music] USA to505 [00:00:34] for their free wealth protection guide. [00:00:36] With a qualified purchase, you could [00:00:37] [music] get up to $20,000 in free gold [00:00:40] or silver. [00:00:45] We have um Mark Root or Rut or however [00:00:47] you say his name. Rut and he is a senior [00:00:51] official with NATO. Yep. and he's at [00:00:53] Davos and he's kind of [00:00:55] >> I sympathize with him because you know [00:00:57] he's clearly must be having a hard time. [00:00:59] >> He's a NATO realist. [00:01:00] >> He's a NATO realist and so but he did [00:01:02] say something which a lot of people are [00:01:04] not happy about and he basically said [00:01:06] Donald Trump is right that Greenland is [00:01:08] strategically important and [00:01:10] >> I think he's make got to make the case [00:01:12] if you're not going to give it to him [00:01:13] you have to really up the defenses for [00:01:16] it in a way that makes the security [00:01:17] argument less credible. Let's play uh [00:01:19] clip 332. [00:01:21] We need to defend the Arctic. Uh we know [00:01:23] that these sea lanes are opening up. We [00:01:25] know that China and Russia are [00:01:27] increasingly active in the Arctic. There [00:01:29] are eight countries bordering on the [00:01:31] Arctic. Uh seven are a member of NATO. [00:01:34] That's Finland and Sweden and Norway and [00:01:35] Denmark, Iceland, Canada, and the US. [00:01:39] And there's only one country bordering [00:01:40] on the Arctic outside NATO, and that's [00:01:42] Russia. And I would argue there is a [00:01:44] ninth country, which is China, which is [00:01:46] increasingly active in the Arctic [00:01:48] region. So, President Trump and other [00:01:50] leaders are right. We have to do more [00:01:52] there. We have to protect the Arctic [00:01:54] against Russian and Chinese influence. [00:01:57] >> I've had this thought. I feel like it [00:01:59] it's so frustrating. The Europeans, they [00:02:01] have to act a certain way because they [00:02:03] just don't like Trump a lot. And so, for [00:02:06] example, this drama we had where they [00:02:08] sent their troops up. Did you follow [00:02:09] this? [00:02:10] >> Yes. It was so like the UK Star. It was [00:02:13] like they sent like five people. [00:02:14] >> The best one. The best one was Germany [00:02:15] which sent 13 soldiers but they didn't [00:02:17] want to aggravate us by getting it used [00:02:19] making it too military. So what they did [00:02:20] is they took a big military plane and [00:02:23] they landed it in Denmark and then they [00:02:25] put the troops onto a commercial flight [00:02:28] and they flew them to Denmark on the [00:02:29] commercial plane and they stayed there [00:02:30] for two days. They cancelled a planned [00:02:33] uh sightseeing trip because it was too [00:02:35] cold and then they got on a commercial [00:02:37] flight and they flew home. And they did [00:02:40] all this as an obvious gesture. Oh, [00:02:42] we're standing with Denmark against [00:02:44] America. I feel like they would create a [00:02:47] President Trump loves wins. If they [00:02:49] really don't want to give away Denmark, [00:02:50] what they should have just or Greenland, [00:02:52] they should have just said, "President [00:02:53] Trump is right. Here we're calling a [00:02:56] meeting. Here's the 5 billion 10 bill [00:02:59] some big amount of money and like [00:03:00] deployment of troops we're ready to do [00:03:02] in the Arctic and we're going to pay for [00:03:05] it. We'll we'll pay for America to [00:03:07] expand their bases in the Arctic. We'll [00:03:08] pay for this Golden Dome base he wants [00:03:10] to build." There you go. And then [00:03:12] President Trump, he loves to tout wins. [00:03:14] He comes back. He's like, "I made this [00:03:16] great deal. We're expanding our bases in [00:03:18] the Arctic and they're paying for all [00:03:20] the you." We've seen how he does this. [00:03:21] President Trump loves making deals on [00:03:23] things. And it's so frustrating that [00:03:26] they're not reacting that way and [00:03:28] instead we get both sides digging in [00:03:30] their heels and we might get a renewed [00:03:31] trade war out of this potentially. [00:03:33] >> Yeah. I think today was a step back from [00:03:35] that. But you know what I what probably [00:03:37] would make sense on your line of [00:03:39] reasoning is you do it in sort of like a [00:03:41] Guantanamo Bay, Cuba scenario where you [00:03:43] you know if Charlie or if uh this is [00:03:45] what Charlie would say um at least I'm [00:03:47] I'm suspecting because Charlie went to [00:03:49] Greenland. You know this is going in the [00:03:51] back of my head. Charlie experienced [00:03:53] firsthand all the love that the folks of [00:03:55] Nuke had uh for President Trump. I think [00:03:58] Greenlanders want their independence. [00:04:00] They want to be able to vote on a [00:04:01] referendum. But the point is you could [00:04:05] you could give or sell portions of [00:04:08] Greenland to the United States almost in [00:04:10] a Guantanamo Bay fashion where you where [00:04:12] we actually do own the land. It can't be [00:04:14] taken back. Uh and you know Denmark [00:04:17] could retain ownership of the rest. I [00:04:18] don't think Trump would be happy with [00:04:20] that because we do want to mine it. We [00:04:22] do want to you know take these rare [00:04:24] earth minerals out of it. But in defense [00:04:26] of a strong US imperial economic [00:04:30] military force, I just have to say I [00:04:33] love it because Trump is calling BS on a [00:04:36] lot of this stuff where, you know, [00:04:38] Europe is weak. They haven't grown. The [00:04:41] the, you know, you've got Germany that's [00:04:43] deindustrialized itself over the last [00:04:45] few years. Energy prices are soaring. [00:04:48] They produce less energy than they did. [00:04:50] I think energy prices is up like 75% in [00:04:52] Germany and they produce 20% less than [00:04:54] they did in 2017. Huge, huge strategic [00:04:57] mistake. Meanwhile, President Trump's [00:04:58] bringing in 1718 trillion of direct [00:05:01] investment, foreign direct investment [00:05:03] businesses investing in the country. [00:05:05] We've got nuclear plants, the brand new [00:05:07] ones that are a lot safer, a lot more [00:05:09] efficient, smaller, building those all [00:05:12] over the country, building new plants, [00:05:13] building new factories. GDPs could very [00:05:16] well be over 5%. We have a lot going for [00:05:19] us and we investing a lot in our [00:05:21] military. All right, listen. I'd love to [00:05:22] cut the debt. I'd love to I'd love to [00:05:24] decrease spending. Those are Let's put [00:05:27] those to the side. Those are problems. [00:05:29] But there's a lot going for America that [00:05:30] is not going for Europe. And Europe [00:05:32] knows it. America is strong. It's [00:05:34] aggressive. It's robust. It's muscular. [00:05:36] Especially under President Trump. Europe [00:05:38] is in malays. Europe is stagnate [00:05:40] stagnant growth. Europe has a migration [00:05:42] pro problem that is not going away [00:05:44] anytime soon. They lack political will. [00:05:46] are fighting a rise of right-wing [00:05:48] populism and nationalism in their own [00:05:49] countries and they're distracted and [00:05:51] they have a fertility problem. So you've [00:05:53] got all of these things and candidly [00:05:56] Europe knows that they can't fight [00:05:58] America on this. They can't even [00:05:59] outnegotiate America on this. Trump is [00:06:01] right to call their bluff and say you [00:06:03] would be nothing without us. As a matter [00:06:04] of fact, I think we have a clip that [00:06:06] says just that that NATO would be [00:06:09] nothing and we we asked for nothing. He [00:06:11] kind of mentioned that before, but this [00:06:13] is this is the truth of the of the [00:06:15] situation. I love that President Trump [00:06:17] is calling it. Um, you know, here's [00:06:20] here's another clip that I think is [00:06:22] really important here. Actually, it sort [00:06:23] of plays into it. 329. [00:06:26] In [00:06:26] >> recent decades, it became conventional [00:06:30] wisdom in Washington and European [00:06:32] capitals that the only way to grow a [00:06:34] modern western economy was through [00:06:36] everinccreasing government spending. [00:06:39] unchecked mass migration and endless [00:06:41] foreign imports. [00:06:44] >> So why that plays in is that Trump has [00:06:47] reversed the trend on those pieces. We [00:06:49] have re reverse migration. Europe has [00:06:52] not. But you have to be careful. For [00:06:54] example, he says we've never asked for [00:06:56] anything. But the Danes certainly [00:06:58] remember they did send troops to [00:06:59] Afghanistan. 43 of them died there. [00:07:02] That's a lot for a country of 5 million [00:07:04] people. Well, and [00:07:06] >> I mean in the most if you humiliate your [00:07:09] friends, you won't have as many friends [00:07:11] in the future.
