Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. U.S. Interest in Greenland and National Security
(02:07–11:16)
- Media Narrative: The mainstream press claims President Trump is planning to take Greenland by force, which Grant disputes, describing it as "media spin" and emphasizing that a deal, not force, is far more likely.
- NATO Dynamics:
- Grant presses on the point that the U.S. holds a strategic military agreement with Greenland and Denmark, dating back to the 1950s, allowing for military bases.
- He deems Europe "very weak right now" and sees China and Russia as eyeing Greenland's "precious real estate."
- Resource Factor: Greenland's untapped natural resources are emphasized as a valuable strategic asset, possibly lessening U.S. reliance on China.
- Guest – Dr. Jeffrey Gunter (Former Ambassador, Now Congressional Candidate):
- Asserts the U.S. is the only nation capable of ensuring Greenland's and thus America's safety, citing rising Chinese and Russian interest in the Arctic as cause for vigilance.
- Suggests Denmark's pushback may simply be because Trump is the one proposing the deal.
- “There’s only one country that can protect the sovereignty of Greenland, and that’s the United States. … The population is declining there. And it is essential. ... The Chinese would love to have their Northwest Passage, cruising their ships much closer ... President Trump won't tolerate it.” (08:24)
2. The Trump Economic "Miracle" and Tariff Policy
(11:16–19:02)
- Supreme Court & Tariffs: Anticipation around a Supreme Court ruling on tariffs imposed by Trump. Grant advises Trump's administration to stick with free-market principles and avoid government interventions.
- “We don’t need gimmicky campaign, non free market ideas.” (12:35)
- Economic Performance:
- Points out decreased inflation under Trump (current 2%) compared to Biden (6.6%) and stresses the importance of maintaining current tariffs and free-market strategies.

- Guest – E.J. Antoni (Committee to Unleash Prosperity):
- Urges continuation of tax, regulatory, and energy reform, identifying these as the drivers of job creation and lower prices.

- Urges continuation of tax, regulatory, and energy reform, identifying these as the drivers of job creation and lower prices.
- Tariff Flexibility: Even if the Supreme Court undercuts current authority, Trump “has a lot of other options” for imposing tariffs using Executive tools; a nuanced approach to tariffs is critical to minimize impact on consumers (e.g., rolling back tariffs on goods like coffee and bananas was pragmatic).
3. Global Hot Spots: Iran, Venezuela, Russia, China
(19:04–26:05)
- Iran Unrest: Reports suggest regime change could be imminent; protesters continue facing lethal crackdowns.

- Guest – Sheriff Mark Lamb (Retired, Congressional Candidate):
- Calls anti-ICE protesters "paid agitators" engaged in "socialist communist agenda."
- “ICE is merely enforcing the laws that Congress and Senate have made ... obstructing law enforcement is illegal.” (32:53)
- Rebukes Senator Chuck Schumer for questioning ICE training, calling such criticism detached from reality:

(50:23–54:32)
