B (2:37)

It, protect it, and even sacrifice for it.

A (2:40)

May we never forget and always remember.

B (2:43)

Our brothers and sisters who have served so that we may Enjoy the gift of freedom. So in this moment, we remember and.

A (2:49)

Give thanks for their dedication and selfless.

B (2:51)

Service to our nation in the cause of our freedom. In this solemn hour, we render our honor and our gratitude. You can see here, this is a man who loved veterans, who was caring, and the Department of Homeland Security, Denver, and the White House is trying to frame him as a terrorist. What are we doing?

A (3:16)

I think it's the same thing that we've said, Amy, really, now that we've known each other for so long, that stupidity is terminal. But incompetence and immorality, the downstream effect of that on the United States and those who are trying to do the right thing, is literally terminal. And for Alex and for Renee, good, Which I don't want people to forget about. Renee, Amy, I think what happened to her was as tragic, as grotesque as what happened to Alex. But when you have untrained ICE officers, many of them seeming to support white nationalist views, and when you have a Stephen Miller or individuals like that coming out and trying to paint a real patriot, somebody who was in the Veterans Administration as a domestic terrorist, I think finally the infection and MAGA has boiled over. And I also believe that seeing even Stephen Miller doing a bit of the Michael Jackson moonwalk away from this, I got to tell you, I think. I think we're seeing massive fissures in the MAGA movement. I'm using fissures because I'm in Greenland. It's so weird. I wouldn't have never used that word. I've seen fishers everywhere here. But massive fissures in the MAGA movement, I think you're seeing a split along those tectonic plates of white nationalism, the Second Amendment and things like that.

B (4:35)

I mean, this American who was killed was not even at a protest. He was just there when ICE and the DHS and the Customs Border Patrol were doing some operation. And the background of all of this, if you watch the videos of what happened and there are many out there, we look at the videos before the actual shooting happened. The ICE agent walked up to a woman, Denver, in the middle of the street, an American citizen who was backing away from him, and he shoved her with two hands, sending her sprawling to the ground backwards. And then the agent pepper sprays her on the ground. She's unarmed. And the Alex who was killed was trying to help this poor woman. I mean, we even forget about that. I mean, just. This is crazy what this. These shock troops are doing. This agency is out of control.

A (5:47)

When I saw it, and knowing who he was you know the Bubba network, Amy, Me and you know the Bubba network. Well, I knew it was a VA nurse before it was reported. We were getting the reports here in Greenland. It was a VA nurse from somebody that was known to the veterans here that was treated by Alex. So we had this bizarre thing going on, like do we actually report this since we already know. But we didn't want to front of anything with the family. Right. So you know how fast it works in the, in the military network. We knew immediately. I remember sitting with Ken Harbaugh and we're just looking at each other in shock like that's a VA nurse that just got killed. I want to say this. The reason he went to the aid of that woman is because he was a VA nurse because his first order in his soul is to protect, is to fix, is to help. And he was killed for that as an American citizen. And then they tried to paint him as a gun toting domestic terrorist. Tried to paint him as somebody evil or some kind of antifa organized deep state globalist right Rep. You know, who was there to kill ICE agents. It's so absurd, it's so evil. And I think we need to get used to the word evil again. We have to. That I do believe and I, you know, I wouldn't have said this a month ago, Amy, you know me well, I do believe this is a turning point. I, I, it's hard for me to say it because so many people said it. I have not said it for the six years because I've not believed it. I know how virulent the far right MAGA believers are. And I say believers of the cult. You know, I'm there now, I'm just there. But to, to kill somebody for that innate nurturing soul that he was is something so spectacularly disgusting. I think even some on the right are saying maybe we've gone too far.

B (7:40)

Killing him and then lying about it. Yes, at the highest levels, I mean the, I mean the highest level, the, a cabinet member, the, the, this is why I called for the resignation of, of Kristi Nome. I mean you, you, you know this business of turning around saying, well, the White House told me to say that, oh come on, she lied about this guy. She has terrible leadership. She absolutely does not deserve to be in that position. And here we have, and I hope you're right, I hope you're right, Denver, that we have people in America who are waking up because we have the government trampling on First Amendment rights, Fourth Amendment rights now, 14th Amendment rights and Second Amendment rights. You know, this, this business of. I watched Greg, I think his name is Greg Bovino on CNN on Sunday morning, and I almost was yelling at the tv. I told my husband, you know, turn it off because I can't stand it anymore. This is the guy who was the head of Border Patrol, who basically said, well, he came with a weapon, he was there with a weapon. So what? We can't have first Second Amendment rights now. It's just, just crazy.

A (8:54)

You know, you got Oompa Loompa Ice out there, you know, with Greg Bovino, and they're trying to, you know, put Tom Homan in there. I mean, literally, it's like replace, you know, it's trying to fix gonorrhea with syphilis. You know, that's really what's going on here in America right now. And, you know, looking at the favorability rate ratings downstream, did you see the report today, AMY, that only 12 states now positive ratings for President Trump. Two of those states are at 0.4%. Can you believe? I think one of those states is South Dakota. The other is Nebraska. Not only that, I thought about you today, Amy McGrath, because, you know, in Kentucky now, Trump's favorability rating is only 1.9%. I'm like, Amy can win.

B (9:36)

Yeah, 1%. Yeah. And I think it's moving in the other direction, you know.

A (9:41)

Yeah.

B (9:42)

And, and here's the other thing that kind of flew under the radar, but should have massive red light for all Americans that love our democracy is the Trump administration. Pam Bondi, who I know you love, sent a letter to Tim Waltz, the Democratic governor of Minnesota, demanding that the state, you know, this was the same day that Alex Brady was shot and killed, that demanding that the state hand over voter rolls. And in the letter she said, well, if you just hand over these voter rolls, we'll take ICE out of Minnesota. I mean, that's basically what that letter said. They're using the tactics as intimidation tactics to get the state to turn over voter rolls. Are we kidding?

A (10:38)

It's manipulation on a level of criminal activity where impeachment should be. Absolutely IMM it based. What's happening with ice, Foreign affairs tariffs here in Greenland, Denmark, NATO, the eu, Everything that you're seeing is a lawless and criminal organization. I would say, really, you could probably charge them under RICO statutes. And you have, you know, cosplaying weirdos. Right. If you look at Greg Bovino with his little coat, you know, I, I guess he bought it at, you know, kids Gap. And then you have, you know, Kristi Noem dressing up as Woody from Toy Story to give a DHS briefing. I'm almost to the point. It's so insane that it's almost embarrassing to be overseas and talk about the US at times. And you know, and that's why I just, I think we're to a point, Amy, that there has to be impeachment to some Republicans have to read to stand up. Ted Cruz threatening Trump with impeachment. Tom Tillis going after Christine. Lisa Murkowski going after Christine Ohm. You got Don Bacon starting to really stand up on. When you talk about tariffs and what's going with Greenland and Denmark, it seems like some Republicans are waking up.

B (11:54)

Some, most of them. Denver are not running for reelection.

A (11:59)

Correct.

B (12:00)

And this is, this is, to me, this is still a major problem because we have massive federal government overreach and we still have the vast majority of Republicans either silent or cheering this on. I have called for an independent investigation. I called for an independent investigation. When Renee Goode was executed, was, was murdered. She was ex. And, and of course that didn't happen. And now we have another one. I mean, even Rand Paul is coming out and saying, you know, there needs to be an independent investigation. Anytime that something like this, you know, happens, you, you, that's what you do. And, and so, you know, the impeachment process starts in the House. As you know, I don't, I don't know with this House whether anything will happen. I, I really don't have a whole lot of confidence that Republicans in the House will, will impeach somebody like Christine. I mean, Denver, she lied to about a citizen to justify his murder. She said that Alex Preddy arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals to kill law enforcement when he wasn't, you know, he didn't, he didn't go there to do that. There's no evidence of that. He's not a domestic terrorist. She said that he brandished a weapon. He never took out the weapon ever. I mean, they cannot get away with just blatant lies like this.

A (13:33)

You know, it looked like it may be possible that the weapon was taken from when he was killed while he was unarmed, which takes it to a whole nother level. I mean, you're getting to a point now that's murder. I mean, it's literally executionist murder. But, yeah, I don't know, I don't know how we would continue on this path and continue to have a government that's effective in any way. It seems that ignorance and conspiracy theories and far right Christo, fascism has taken over in a way that I don't know how to get us back right now. But that being said, me and you can't get us back. Me and you are truth tellers. We can go out there and we can swing the truth baseball bat all day long. But the Republicans, there has to be a 3 to 5% change in Republican voting and habits for us, I think, to get back on the right track. And maybe again, Amy, it's weird. I know I'm an intelligence analyst. I know I'm the most, you know, me. I am not optimistic. I am Mr. Pessimistic when it comes to this. But for some reason, looking at the data, looking at the polling, looking at the comments, looking at Republicans who are speaking out now, maybe.

B (14:46)

And if you look at, okay, when can we change if impeachment of somebody like Kristi Noem, I think all of them should be fired. I think everybody that is ahead of any of these agencies should be fired. But if that's not going to happen, you got to think about, okay, what can happen. Well, we can wait till the midterms, okay, we're all working toward that end and voting really does matter. But there's this DHS funding package that's up for in the House and the Senate right now. Lots of Democrats in the Senate have said they won't vote for this package. May cause another government shutdown. I certainly would not vote for any more money to DHS as it currently stands with that agency being so out of control and the leadership being so insanely bad. The Senate right now is debating another $10 billion for ICE. But here's the thing. Denver Congress already locked in $19 billion a year for that agency over the next four years. That's like three times more funding per year that that agency gets than it that had had previous to that. Three times more funding. So they already have a ton of funding.

A (16:09)

Can you imagine if ICE is better funded than the National Security Agency or the CIA? I mean, people should be like, okay, maybe we shouldn't be funding an internal police force that murders American citizens. It's that simple of a sentence. Maybe we shouldn't be hiring people who are inexperienced. Maybe we shouldn't be hiring proud boys. Maybe we shouldn't be hiring those that were pardoned by the president for storming the Capitol. Maybe we should actually hire professionals and have professionals in charge rather than people like Greg Pavino or Tom Homan or Kristi Noem or Upchain to Pam Bondi or Upchain to JD Vance or upchain to somebody who's. I don't know if they're deliberately insane or is going insane and doesn't know it. It's Donald Trump. So it. Listen, it all comes from the top right. That rot, you know, it's rot. And that rot has infected the Republican Party on a level I don't know if it'll be decades to get it back.

B (17:03)

Well, DHS funding in my mind, needs to be carved off of this bill. We don't need to shut the government down. You can keep the rest of the government running you. You carve off the DHS funding and no more funding for this agency without major legal constraints placed on ice. Things like body cams, getting rid of the mass and in my belief, getting rid of the leadership. I'll just leave it at that.

A (17:26)

I can't say it better.

B (17:28)

Okay, well, you are in Greenland and we want to take advantage of this because what an opportunity for you and for our listeners to hear about what it is really like in such a remote place. You know, somebody once told me who had been to both Iceland and Greenland had said to me, well, Iceland should be named Greenland and Greenland should be named Iceland because that's the way they look. But what's it like there?

A (17:58)

You know? You know, Alaska has 1.2 people per square mile. Alaska, Greenland, point three people per square mile. 0.3. You're talking about. It's impossible to get to certain places in Greenland without an airplane. And even then, the airplanes break down so often you can be stuck in an area in one of the settlements for weeks. Not only that, dog sleds are still the best way to get around in a lot of these settlements because everything freezes. The incredible thing about Nuuk here in Nuuk, Greenland, is that about a third to 40% of the population live here. And you're like, oh my gosh, it must be huge. There's 21,000 people in this whole area. 21,000. This entire area. The roads end 7 km outside of town. Think about what I'm telling people.

B (18:53)

They just end. They just end.

A (18:55)

They end. When you're talking about transportation. I took a boat two and a half hours to a settlement. I think it was called Kalisha or something like that. You can see my pronunciation was so perfect. I think it means like home of the salmon or something. 40 people live there off on winter. On peak it's 80 when they're fishing. And it was incredible to be there and talk to the locals. I had a great picture with somebody named DANIEL but what happened was I had an influencer here named Orla Jolison. I'm here at the Save America movement and Orla got me in touch with families and I've been the houses of families talking about what they think about America. And it's been one of the most sobering and sad things that I've had to deal with here is that they don't trust America. They love Americans still, but they feel like they lost their best friend and that they always knew that they were, that we were there for them, but they were there for us because, you know, this is a, this is a proper, not a property, shouldn't say, but it's part of Denmark. And the Danish are just livid on how he went against the Danes, those who fought out of Greenland. So it has been one of the most eye opening, sobering things to talk to people here to. I have been in coordination with the Danish ambassador, with his staff. I'm now in coordination with the Danish veterans group. I will be in the front line of the Copenhagen march on Saturday. And the reports that I have had from here. I hope Americans are understanding that no sovereign country should be taken by another country like America. This is that they value self determination by either force or forced purchases. It's just incredible. And the only word, there's one word I want to tell you very quickly. There's one word that every family, every child who's asked me about Trump and Kamala, four children came up to me and asked me and they said, are you for the Trump or Kamala? And I said, comma, they go, good, we hate Trump. So that was cool, right? But everybody uses one word. I've heard it from everybody.

B (20:51)

It's madness, madness, madness. And most Americans, you know, do not want us to buy the land. Most Americans do not want us to invade and take over Greenland. You know, Richard Haass, who used to head the Council Foreign Relations, and he was longtime foreign policy expert, worked in Republican administrations at the very high levels in this country's leadership. You know, he talked about studying doctrines like containment in the Cold War and studying the Reagan Doctrine. And he said this is the first time he's encountered what he's called the real estate doctrine. It's the idea, Trump said, that the United States must own a foreign territory. And it's just so ludicrous. First of all, the United States has done a really good job at protecting Greenland without owning it. And it's so un American. And I just hope the people in Greenland know that this is just not reflective of really who we are, sadly. It's just this president and his sycophant followers in Congress.

A (22:04)

So, Amy, it's an amazing point you made. We had our cameras with us and it was all spontaneous. Multiple news channels, TV2 out of Denmark, Danish Public Radio, Greenlander influencers. Our group, you know, there'd be. There was another camera crew here from another network, all asked to join us. And. And literally, Amy, it was. It was me and Orla who put it all together. Even though the Save America movement, thank God, they have actually funded everybody here. I've been fortunate enough that people know who I am. And it's not a, you know, it's just a thing that happens. You know, the same. I'm not bragging at all. It's just people wanted to talk. But we go in the homes of cameras. They would separate from Americans and the American government. When I got people aside, they said, it's much harder than you think to separate our hate of the American government from Americans that are here. Think about that very quickly. The other thing, gun culture here. Gun and hunting culture. There's 57,000 people. As far as they know. They've counted 35,000 long rifles. They sell rifles everywhere around here. The thing that was really surprising, every single household said they were ready to take up arms if America's landed here. Now, I took pictures and video the surrounding area, posted a lot of that. And when you see this place, there's only one airport. It's on, it's. It's on a one Runway, on a plateau. Amy, they blocked that. There's really no way in. You have to go around ice field. You got to go through fjords with ice. They know you're coming. And everybody's like, well, what if they bomb us? Are we actually going to long range bomb towns and civilians? I mean, are we that crazy? So now I have ice green lenders telling me, denver, if we see Americans in the street trying to take our homes, we will use our long rifles and we can hit seals from a moving boat at 200 meters.

B (23:58)

Wow.

A (23:59)

Okay. That is the main message. We love America, but don't come here or you're going to pay. And I said, well, what if you give your life one individual? He's like, denver, we're free. What do we want here? We don't want to be America. We don't want to be Minneapolis. Think about full circle now. We don't want ice in our streets. We have everything. We have free health care. We have homes. Right? We love our Land, we can go anywhere. We can climb mountains, we can get on our boats, we can fly our planes. We don't want to be part of America. And if they come here, we will fight. And if we die, we die.

B (24:45)

Think about that. And what would you do? What would anybody do if your country was being targeted like this? If you love your country. I'm an American. I was born an American and I love America. But I can imagine, as I'm sure anybody listening to this can imagine, you know, being a resident of another country and having, you know, the United States, just, just say, well, we're, we're going to invade and take you over. And you say, well, no, I don't want that.

A (25:17)

I had an incredible man named Peter. Talked to him twice. He wants to, he wants me to come back to Greenland, just spend time. His, his, his daughter is a world champion cross country skier, going to be in the World cup or something, or World championships. He was on a interview and I think if you guys read the TV to Denmark. I'm all over TV today in, in Denmark. I'm famous in Denmark. Amy, who, who would have known? So I'm on TV too. He said he wouldn't have talked to us if we were supporters of Trump. And when you talk about what's going on with the information operations here, you know, maga's here, they're giving out hats and American dollars to children and other people. They actually have a hearts and minds influence campaign going on with MAGA here. And they got kicked out. People told me, get the hell out of our town. Get the hell out of Greenland. So, and now you've seen the hats that say enough is enough. And it says, make America go away. MAGA is here and in Greenland. Make America go away. Our ally, our NATO allies are wearing hats to say, make America go away. I think Americans need to understand that we are being isol with, with incompetence and stupidity on a level we can't imagine. And I'm going to Denmark. I don't even know if they want me to carry the American flag with them. That's how angry they are.

B (26:39)

Yeah. I mean, and it's not just Greenland. It's, it's throughout all of Europe in response to this. It's insane. But I have to ask you this in a little bit of lighter note here. The President put out, retweeted something on social media where he had a picture of, of himself, I guess, walking with a penguin. So I thought that was kind of interesting because right there are no penguins. In Greenland. So you talked about everybody having a long rifle. I'm curious, like, what wildlife is there? Because it ain't penguins.

A (27:13)

Well, there's some seals here.

B (27:16)

Okay.

A (27:16)

Reindeer.

B (27:17)

Are seals hunted?

A (27:18)

Yes, seals are hunted. Reindeer last night, and I'm not trying to offend anybody, but a lot of people ordered whale meat. Right.

B (27:27)

Okay.

A (27:27)

So seals, whales, reindeer. I don't believe there are muskox here. I mean, people are like musk and. But they serve muskox. There might be some muskox here, but. Yeah. It's not like you're going to Iceland or something like that. The wildlife here is much more limited because of the amount of ice. And please don't quote me on this. I would love for somebody to look it up. But what did they say? 3 million cubic kilometers of ice in Greenland. Think about that. Amy. That's insane. Insane. I mean, it's a little cold, so, yeah, you. So you do. But you have huge reindeer populations, and they hunt reindeer seals and they go out in boats and you think about a rocking boat and they're shooting seals swimming. Okay. They don't get pretty good shots. They don't mess around here, Greenlanders, because.

B (28:20)

I would imagine there's not a whole lot of vegetable growth. You know, I mean, the diet, I would assume, is mostly meat.

A (28:30)

Yeah. Yeah.

B (28:31)

Okay. I mean, you're living on a rock.

A (28:34)

You're living on rock and ice. Yeah, there's some growth here. There's some. There's some green parts in Greenland. But if everybody looks at the map of Greenland, I hope you do, you'll look at the small parts, where the settlements are, where there's a little bit of green. The rest is ice. Literally. Now, is it ice? There's nothing there. It's rock and ice. There's no people. There's nothing. No animal stuff. It's rock and ice and glaciers.

B (28:56)

That's it.

A (28:57)

So that's Greenland.

B (28:59)

Well, something to note for folks who are history buffs. We should also remind people that the United States has had a relationship with Greenland for a long time. We have bases there for a long time. And actually, during the Cold War, I think, in the 1960s, we slung a couple of nuclear weapons out of B52s that crashed. Now, it was a mishap. We didn't mean to. But during Operation Chrome Dome, which was the time in history when we would fly B52s, we would always have B52s airborne at all times with nuclear weapons on board. Thermonuclear weapons, not just the ones that go Boom over Hiroshima. But like massively, much larger booms during that time. There was a mishap around Greenland and the B52 broke apart and those nuclear bombs got, you know, thrown into, into the ice and it was kind of covered up for a while, you know, so this is, this is our history. I mean, we should, we should know about that. And, you know, I just appreciate you going up there and shining a light on what the people of Greenland care about.

A (30:22)

It's one of the most beautiful places. I'll send you some pictures in video, but it's one of the most incredible things I've ever seen, Amy. And it really comes down to this. And I know, and I wish I could stay another hour with you because it's an amazing thing what's happened here and the things I want to talk to you about. But I think the combination of the domestic unrest, the incompetence domestically and the incompetence internationally has caused an infection in maga. I think there is sepsis. And I think what I think we might be seeing this sort of internal destruction of their own party based on that stupidity. Conspiratorial thinking, fantastical thinking and things of that nature. The lack of talent in the sycophancy. And I think we're seeing it, and I'm seeing it here because they talk about ice here more than I wanted to talk about ice. Think about that. And now I'm not talking about Greenland ice. I'm talking about DHS ice. And that's what they wanted to talk about. And that's pretty amazing that they said. It's not just us saying we're going to invade them or buy them. It's the fact they don't want that here. They think America is crazy. That's what I've gotten, madness from Trump. Your country is crazy, what has happened to you.

B (31:36)

And it's embarrassing. The whole world is seeing it. What's happening in the United States right now? The whole world. Well, I want to end Denver with a shout out. I really want to highlight, if we can, the people of Greenland and the people of Denmark. When I served in Afghanistan, and I know you did combat tours as well, but when I served in Afghanistan, the field hospital Camp Bastion was full of troops from all NATO countries and the camp was literally run by the Brits. And Denmark was a key participant in fighting with us side by side in places like Afghanistan. So when the President Trump said, oh, well, the allies stayed a little back off the front lines. It's total bullshit and it's an insult. Denmark, in particular, had suffered the highest per capita fatality rate among all of the NATO coalition forces. So they had 44 confirmed deaths. And that. I just. It's such a slap in the face to those in Denmark who are our allies who fought alongside you. And I, I say I'm sorry for that remark and, and I thank you for being there with us when we fought after 9, 11. So. And I just want to say cheers to them.

A (33:01)

Cheers to them. And I wish you were here. I wish you were here marching with me on the silent march on Saturday in Copenhagen, because I think that silent march to Copenhagen, in Copenhagen with the Danish veterans is the most unsilent thing they can do. And I wish you were here with me.

B (33:17)

Well, we'll. We'll track it, send it out on social media and we'll, we'll get some of that out to everybody. Great to see you, Denver, and please be safe in your travels. Amy.

A (33:27)

Always great to be here. And I hope everybody subscribes to Truth in a Barrel on every single channel from YouTube to Substack to X Right. To Blue Sky. My God, how many other things? Everything. Just go look up Truth or Barrel and sign up for everything that he does, please.

B (33:43)

Awesome.
