Is Trump gonna get Greenland? What is the latest out of Davos and also what's going to happen up in Minneapolis with ice of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement variety, not the ice that falls from the sky and the snow. We will talk to Priya Patel about all of this. She's a political commentator. You see her on Trace Galleris Fox show. And she joins us now to make sense of the madness. Can I start with this? Did you see the relief on the faces of the assembled at Davos when Trump was like, we're not going to send in the military. We're not just going to take it. They were actually scared that he was going to sit in the military.
- [03:04]
Priya Patel
Well, and honestly. As they should be, to be honest with you. Like, every, every time I was hearing anybody at Davos try and, like, strong arm Trump and threaten him, I'm like, what pops into my head is that 2000, I think it's Dave Chappelle bit where he plays Black Bush and he's like, sanction me. Go and sanction me with your army. And he goes, you don't have an army, so you might as well just shut the F up. Because it's just like, what are you guys going to do? What are you, Denmark going to do about it? You should be scared. Because if we did want to take it, we would take it, but we actually want to do a deal with you. So, like, simmer, simmer down and come, come to the table and talk with us, because we can take it if we want. We don't want to have to.
- [03:47]
Buck Sexton
Well, I also thought Europe sending various European countries, sending like 10 soldiers to Greenland in a show of solidarity. This is not, this is not cool at all. Like, this is not a smart idea to be like, well, you know what? We will fight to the last drop of blood of five guys that we're sending to this icebox against the United States military. Like, it's preposterous.
- [04:11]
Priya Patel
Yeah, well, and I think initially France was the only country that actually came for the defense of Denmark and the like, we will send, we will send ours to, to fight with you guys. And it's like, well, I'm pretty sure that the national flag of France at this point should just be the white flag. So please send your army. Let's see what happens.
- [04:29]
Buck Sexton
Well, what do you think happened? I'm not trying to get you in trouble here. Although depending on your answer, you might get a little bit of hot water. What happened to Emmanuel Macron? He's wearing the glasses. The official story people are talking about. Maybe Brigitte thought that he got a little a Little uppity or something. Is Trump, Trump, Is Trump going to end up with Greenland? Is this actually going to happen? Or is this posturing slapping around the Eurocrats because it's fun? What do you make of that?
- [04:57]
Priya Patel
No, I think, I think it is going to happen. And I think if it was going to happen under any president, it was going to be Trump. We know him, he's determined and when he wants something, he's going to have it. This has been, this has been a policy position of the United States for decades now. Greenland is very, very important to our national security. But as far as like, military power and like the airspace, the, the, the, the shipping routes, it is very, very risky to have countries like China and Russia have any sort of power over Greenland. And if that's going to be the case, then, yeah, we should take full control over it. It's important that it's protected. And guess what? Denmark is not capable of doing so. Even with the help of the French military. They, it's in their interest for it to be protected too. So they might as well just let us do it for them.
- [05:47]
Buck Sexton
What is. Now you're a Californian? For anyone who doesn't know, who's not familiar with your excellent work on this show and Fox and others, what is Gavin Newsom doing at Davos other than taking photos with Soros? Is Scion Air or whatever.
- [06:04]
Priya Patel
This is a great question and I would love to know the answer to it as well. And I would love to know for sure that his sugar daddy alley like Soros is actually paying for his trip and that this is not taxpayer funded because he has no business being there. I know that he wants to run for president, but currently he is the governor of California and he has no geopolitical position other than the fact that he sells out our state to China constantly. But yeah, there's absolutely no reason for him to be there other than try and rub elbows with the people that he's hoping to be working with if he wins the presidential election.
- [06:38]
Buck Sexton
Do you think that Gavin Newsom might be able to make things so uncomfortable for Kamala to run in the primary that she might even forego it? Or is it just too. The prize is too big. She's too delusional. She. Cause they're going to go obviously head to head, right? I mean that's, they're two of the names at the top and all the betting markets and everything else right now. And Gavin plays, Gavin plays dirty. But I gotta say, people forget Kamala can throw a mean punch when she wants to remember she went after Biden, who then she became VP to essentially saying, you're like an old white racist Joe on stage.
- [07:15]
Priya Patel
Yep. No, I mean, I, I give Kamala credit where it's due. A lot of people don't. A lot of people are just like, no, she's really, really stupid. You know what? Some stupid things come out of her mouth once in a while, but you're not stupid. You can't fail your way to the top that hard. So I think that she has a lot of, I would say, street cred in the political game. She surely knows how to play it. But Gavin Newsom is just, I mean, we all know that he's a complete snake. I just watched his interview with Ben Shapiro this last week, and I'm like, the man didn't answer a single question. I don't know if anyone noticed that. It's always, it's always some sort of deflection from anything that he's pointedly asked. It's, well, let's talk about the economy or taxation in California. Well, Louisiana does this. Well, a, we're not talking about Louisiana because you're not the governor of Louisiana. You're the governor of California. And I, you know, Ben Shapiro was a lifelong Californian up until about four years ago. So I want to ask you about the state that I fled because of your policies, not about Louisiana. That is completely irrelevant to this specific conversation. He does this all the time. And even when he had his little meltdown at Davos, I think it was yesterday, or early or late the day before, when he was just essentially complaining about all of these European countries working with Trump instead of strong arming him. And it's like, you don't, you don't live in reality, if that's what you think they should be doing.
- [08:41]
Buck Sexton
How much is the billionaire exit because of the billionaire wealth tax in your state? How much is that getting attention from people who are at least willing to think like, you know, there's the Republicans in your state, Democrats in your state. But, I mean, are you seeing people start to change their minds a little bit about how California is governed based upon what will happen if these billionaires leave? It's like a trillion dollars of wealth they will take with them. State of California. Absolutely. It's already going deep into a hole. It becomes financially completely dysfunctional if they leave. So is there an awareness of that among the sane? How is that playing out?
- [09:20]
Priya Patel
You know, I think there is some sort of awareness among the same. I wouldn't say that it's you know, the far leftist liberals that live here, you know, they all kind of live in the LA LA land of let's tax the rich because that money ends up in our pockets or gets, you know, or cuts our taxes, which is just not the reality of things. These people prop up the economy in California almost wholeheartedly. And if they leave, they're going to California is not only going to lose a lot of the taxes that they're going to be able to get from the billionaires, from their companies and everything, everything that comes with them and. But they're going to lose about 30 to 40% of the annual revenue that they get from income tax just from the billionaires leaving, not to mention the businesses that are going to leave, to mention the jobs that are going to leave with those businesses. I mean, it's going to hurt. I would say that it probably would crush the California economy altogether because if we lose Silicon Valley, we're done. There's, there's nothing that's going to prop up the immense deficit that we have here in the state. The economy will just collapse. And not to mention the job scarcity that we already suffer from here, where it's going to be even, even, even more plentiful at that point.
- [10:25]
Buck Sexton
Is Eric Swalwell really going to be the next Democrat nominee for governor of California? Because I have to say, as much as you find I've described him as evil Keanu Reeves before, Gavin Newsom, like, he's just like, hey, you know, like, I've got my shirt buttoned down, four buttons, and I'm just so suave, you know, and you know he's bad. But Eric Swalwell is clownishly absurd. And yet my understanding is he is currently the most likely Democrat. Is this really possible? I guess he's better than the Katie Porter person.
- [11:02]
Priya Patel
Bang, bang. Yeah. No. So actually there was news that dropped about four days ago that is showing that Eric Swalwell could possibly be ineligible to run for California governor because he doesn't have a residence here in California. And to run for gunmer, I believe it's. You have to have a permanent residence here or have your primary residence here for the past it's either four or five years, but he hasn't had a primary residence here in years and doesn't even have a lease or owned property here at all, if I'm, if I remember correctly. So he might be completely ineligible, which would bring even more forward the possibility that we could have the funniest thing happen to California politics ever. Probably a two Republican primary.
- [11:49]
Buck Sexton
Wow. Well, I mean, the good news for Swalwell is you could always try to become the governor of Sichuan or something. You know what I mean? Yeah, he's got a fondness for. For mainland China, from what I understand. We're going to come back and talk ICE in Minneapolis here in a second, but our sponsor is Birch Gold Group. And Birch Gold has helped so many people in recent years who are listeners of this program and of the radio show, transition some portion of her savings into gold.

All right, now on the Minneapolis ICE enforcement operations, all that stuff. First of all, do you. There are a lot of people that are calling for charges against politicians in Minneapolis or in Minnesota, including Minneapolis, Tim Walls and, and Fry, the mayor. But I'm sitting here, I'm like, what about all the people that ripped off all the money? We haven't even gotten charges against them. What about the people that just interrupted the church service? How do you see this playing out?
- [13:26]
Priya Patel
Yeah, I mean, there need to be a lot of charges brought to a lot of people. And I think we should start from the top. I mean, the, the immediate issues when it comes to Don Lemon and the people that broke into that church service should be top priority. But aside from that, we need to go after the politicians first and foremost because they are inciting violence among our law enforcement and they are inciting insurrections, believe it or not. I know that's like the hot topic buzzword for the left and has been for the last five years. But they seem to not recognize an insurrection when they actually commit one. But yeah, where you need to see some major, major crackdown on the things that are happening in Minnesota in general, but specifically Minneapolis. And I mean, as much as I love the administration, we've been incredibly slow moving and kind of incapable in terms of bringing prosecutions to people that really deserve them. I mean, we have, we've seen nothing done about, you know, anybody on the January 6 Committee for Imprisoning people that were wrong, wrongfully, wrongfully committed for simply walking into the Capitol and taking a selfie. All of these meemaws from, you know, the Midwest, we've seen nothing done about that. And the fact that we're completely incapable of doing that kind of shows me that, you know what? I don't think Don Lemon is stupid. I think he knew exactly what he was doing when he walked into that church that day. And I think that on a political matter, he was kind of daring the administration to do something about it.
- [14:50]
Buck Sexton
I have to jump in, Priya, because I know Don Lemon and I can tell you he's really stupid. Just so you know, I know him. He's dumb. But I think your point that he was aware of his actions that day, that I, that I will accept. But I can't let you get away with Don Lemons. Not. No, no, he's really stupid. Just so you know, you know that.
- [15:12]
Priya Patel
That'S a fair correction. I think that he was fully aware that what he was doing was in a violation of the civil rights of those church members.
- [15:19]
Sponsor/Ad Announcer
Of course.
- [15:20]
Buck Sexton
And it's the first thing that from, from the perspective of someone like that, like a washed up former, you know, CNN hack, people are talking about him more in the last few days than they have since Elon booted his ass from his show on X for acting like a jerk. Right. So, yeah, it's, it's already, I mean, the, the, the press focus on him, the free media.
- [15:40]
Priya Patel
It's exactly what he wanted.
- [15:42]
Buck Sexton
It's exactly what he wanted. So, and honestly, I, this is where I think it's tough because if they were to charge someone like Don Lemon. Look, Don Lemons made millions and millions of dollars for many years at cnn. Again, I know. And I think, you know, it might actually work to his favor to be charged, especially if they weren't able to see it through. Because remember, you're going to have a judge, people say, oh, it's federal, ok, but you have a federal judge in Minnesota and you'll probably get some Obama or Biden appointed judge who's going to throw it out in the first. Now then people get into the. Well, charging him sends a message. Ok, but you know, this is where it gets tough, right? Because if the message may be that Don Lemon now becomes a big resistance hero and you Know, so, you know, I. I feel like we. We got to make sure that we have the right kind of. Of moves that are made here. I don't know if you even saw Lindsey Halligan. I knew she was going to lose on this, because I'm familiar with. For other reasons. I've got friends that have gone through the process, actually, of being appointed U.S. attorney, and they missed the window for appointing her and the doj, unfortunately, with this is the Trump administration, I'm, like, rooting for these guys. There's a window where the DOJ can appoint an interim U.S. attorney. They miss the window. It's like a set amount of time. And then she brought. And she got. She got indictments of Letitia James and James Comey, and then they were both thrown out because she wasn't appointed in the window. And I just sit here and I'm like, guys, you know, I appreciate the effort, but you actually, like, you hurt yourself when you don't do things the way that they have to get done to get the result.
- [17:16]
Priya Patel
Yeah, yeah. No, I mean, I completely agree. I do agree that we do have to be politically strategic on what we do in. In the case of Don Lemon, but as a broader matter, I do think. I personally think it would send a message, because the fact that these Democrats think that they can just run amok in our cities, completely burn them down, harass and. And ambush law enforcement trying to feed them, and all under the guise that this is protected under free speech, which it isn't. Breaking into a church, which is private property, even though it is a public service, it is still private property. And if you are asked to leave, you are. You are obligated to leave the premises. But that impeding law enforcement is not protected under free speech. Protest is for the. Is for. Is for political reasons. It's not for stopping law enforcement that are enforcing the law. If you want to protest, go take it up with your congressmen. That's how you actually get laws changed. You can't. You can't stop people from enforcing the law that is in place.
- [18:17]
Buck Sexton
Well, also, I mean, these people that are out on the streets and they're getting in the way of cops, it's not protest. It's far more effective to post. As you know, you'll reach far more people if you share your thoughts online than you ever will on some street corner. No one cares. The era of, oh, there were 100 people with placards. We have to pay attention. They're irrelevant. They're there to get in the way. And to cause an incident and in this case they caused a lethal incident. So I mean, I think that that much of it is, is very clear. But Priya is going to fix California and with it save the country. So we're next time you come back, you've got to just tell us how you are saving the country. You got to help. You got to help my friend Steve Hilton become governor. Can you do that?
- [18:56]
Priya Patel
I'm trying. I love Steve so much. I love him.
- [18:59]
Buck Sexton
Yeah, he's the best.
- [19:01]
Priya Patel
I'm praying and hoping that we can get him and push through.
