Well the thing that happened here they're talking about the rupture and Carney's speech yesterday and we're bringing Dr. Thayer. We got a lot of folks to get to today and and need you to hang around nor because we're going to get back into it. You know, Pax Britannica basically from the end of the Napoleonic War and the Congress of Vienna in 1815 also that's both Waterloo and the Battle of New Orleans. They are kind of inextricably linked because part of it was making sure the British that really ended the revolution here told the British North America is ours. We're manifest destiny. I think it's the only time in history is Wellington's best part of his army that had been fighting in Spain forever on the peninsula. We destroyed it on the plains outside of New Orleans. General Andrew Jackson, I think it's the only time in British history 3 Major Generals killed in combat. The same time you had Waterloo after the Congress of Vienna, you had this Pax Britannica. The Royal Navy basically kept the peace. There were yes, There were some 1848. There were some definitely some conflicts but nothing Boer War, all these kind of side wars. I would say until the guns of August in 1914. Now that led to what 30 years of conflict ended with dropping a hot one over the empire, the Empire of Japan and firebombing Tokyo and Kyoto and other places into oblivion along with Dresden to end the fascist and imperial try to conquest the world led by the United States industrial power and 35 million Russians killed by the Wehrmacht and another 30 million Chinese. Lao Beijing killed by the Japanese Imperial Japanese army and the Communists. That packs Americana and the new world order that came after it. The post war international rules based order just like they had the Congress of Vienna that had the British pound as the primary prime reserve currency after the war. Bretton woods, the United nations, imf, NATO, seato. All these different, either military alliances and, or financial and commercial alliances lasted until basically the late Tiananmen Square and the fall of the Berlin Wall where both the people in the Russia decided, hey, look, after the war you basically let Joseph Stalin run the place. That was not good with us. We hate these guys. You gave them Eastern Europe. That's still questionable. How that happened I believe as McCarthy and others pointed out, because the State Department and the Roosevelt administration was full of KGB activists, agents that helped Yalta and other places to look the other way. Also we turned China over to the Chinese Communist Party who had not lifted a finger to fight the Japanese because we got sucked into that. And there were Communists all throughout the State Department in the China hands. So we turned it over basically in 1989, within six months of each other. Nobody ever wants to connect this. Tiananmen Square in June, follow the Berlin Wall November Lao Beijing. And the Russian people said, and people in Eastern Europe said no, no, we can't do this anymore. And what did we do? Immediately Scowcroft sent folks over, Bush sent, Bush 41 sent Scowcroft over to tell Den Xiao Ping in this crowd, hey, hey, hey, you just got to ease up. You can't be killing, can't be murdering 10,000 people in Tiananmen Square and through the, in tens of thousands, through the rest of China. That looks bad on tv. We got to tone down and guess what? We, we will work out a business deal. We'll get wto, we'll do that. We'll turn you into the manufacturing base of a new global order. This is what Bush was talking about when he used that phrase, I think at the Houston, when he gave that speech in Houston. And so what you had is you had a post war international rules based order is what they call it. But it was weighed against the American working class, the American middle class. You basically paid for everything. All the trade deals were upside down. If you look at NATO, if you look at the, around the Persian Gulf in the Middle east, you go and look around the South China Sea and all the indigenous, all the, you know, countries around that, and then you go up to north Northwest Asia with Japan and Korea, you had Commercial relationships. We're upside down on every trade deal. We are. There's capital markets where we're funding the growth there, either through the Marshall Plan or other. So there's capital markets, there is some culture interchange, no doubt about that. But there's an American security guarantee. The sons and daughters of the American working class and middle class are on patrol in the Hindu Kush, or they're at the was a 33rd parallel at, in, in Korea, or they're on a ship in the South China Sea on patrol, or they're now the 101st Airborne Brigade in Romania, not in Minnesota. Right. You're paying for all that. And President Trump is essentially saying, and Carney said yesterday, we got to stop the fiction. Well, the fiction is, Carney, that you guys are picking up your share and that you're an ally. You're not an ally. Just like Israel's not allies. You guys are not allies. You're protectorates. And the American people. This is the rise of the populist nationalist movement here. This is the basis of maga, that guess what? America comes first. American security comes first. The economics for American citizens, American citizens come first. And as imperfect as President Trump is, he is shattering that system. And a new system is forming here that puts American security and American citizens first. The simplest way to say this is step one is to focus on hemispheric defense. This is the centrality of Greenland. And what President Trump is trying to make the case is the central issue of Greenland in the Arctic being the northern flank of the United States. And we have to control the Greenland, Iceland, UK gap because we don't have confidence you guys can do it because you don't put any money in into your military and you particularly don't put any money into a combatant navy. That we have to do it. And yes, we're going to have to control this space in order to do it. And there are going to be other benefits because the bad guys we're stopping are also bad guys that would take a bite out of you. And this is what Carney and all his. And there's playing up Carney like he's Lincoln at Gettysburg or the second inaugural address, that he's some great thinker and great spoken. President Trump called this brother out to his face at Davos. He had a funny story about Macron. It's the reason Macron left. He had a funny story about Macron, about how weak and sad he is. But Carney, he looked right at him and said, hey, bro, we essentially defend you and Remember that before you start, you know, before you talk smack again, remember, we have your defense and people in Canada have to understand this. We have paid for your defense for decade after decade and a decade. And what did I say six or nine months ago? That Ukraine, that Canada is potentially the next Ukraine, that Arctic north, the Chinese Communist Party and Russia. The great game of the 21st century is in the Arctic. Why do you think? Why in the hell you think Trump, who can think this stuff through as much as he's doing in Latin America with the bailout of Argentina and the situation of Venezuela and trying to control the oil from Guyana to Venezuela to the Gulf of America, Mexico and Texas to get you the biggest oil power known in history by 10x. He's spending so much time in Greenland, he understands the strategic importance of it. President Trump, I believe, is the greatest strategic thinker, thinker and man of action we've ever had in the presidency. This is why I say Washington, Lincoln and Trump. And you saw it today, and he called Carney out to his face, said, bro, watch the smack talk, because we are basically your protector. Short break. It's about Davos. It's about America first, about American citizens first. We are packed in every segment. Noah Bin Laden is going to stick with me. Back in a moment.
