Speaker 1 (00:00):
Relatively speaking, pretty small sample size all things considered, right,
But I was noticing a very strange trend that was
happening as far as the you know, contest was concerned.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
And uh, what was that? What was that? What was that? Note?

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Well, the trend was that winners were doubling, which means
what don't mean? Just to play the clip, just fire away,
hold on, I'm gonna make sure it makes sense. Okay, yeah,
all right, I'll play the clip here. This is from
yesterday when we discovered this.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Man. What's going on?

Speaker 1 (00:36):
I double it up on I'm telling you Orlando, No,
West Palm Beach, but like it's just that's not far
from Naples. Those are like right next to each other.
What's going on here? They double the doubling up. They
keep doubling up, and I don't like it. Unless it
was us, then they please keep doubling it up.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
You know.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah that might be hypocritical, but yeah, double your money,
double your fun literally yesterday probably like what four point thirty? Yeah, well,
what happened in the five and six o'clock hours, No,
for the four and five o'clock hours, my bad.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Well, the illuminati who's clearly listening and pulling all the
shots here.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
We doubled up in Omaha, they doubled us up. As
soon as I said that we doubled up in Omaha,
they gave us the double doink. It was don't say
that that was a Bears thing. That was a Chicago
Bears thing. I was trying to double something. Yeah, that's
not what you want to think. Say that again and
I will, I will hurt you. Twins, they doubled. We
twined it up. Yeah, we twin we we twin being

(01:32):
did that's called twinning? Yesterday we did a little bit
of a twinning ourselves.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, twinning. Yeah. So Cat won our friends and the cats.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
I'm sorry, no, no, no, no, no inappropriate.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
David won on Cat on the Cat in the four
o'clock hour, friends were at the Cat, and then in
the five o'clock hour, Barbara was listening to us on
this show and one on thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
So you don't want to know what happened. We're already
on the board.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Took two days and we're on the board and Omaha
doubled up. I'm telling you there was something weird going
on with this.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
I was paying close attention today here's today's winners.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Are you ready?

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yeah, Cleveland, Birmingham, Chicago, Corpus Christian Seattle. It's really no
legitimate pattern there, so maybe they've corrected whatever the algorithm
is looking like these days. But you know what that means,
We're due to come back around, so you can't just
take it for granted. We could really just go on
a huge run of winners, thousand dollars winners. Now I

(02:29):
am under the impression that we're going to talk to
Barbara who won on our show yesterday, and hopefully we'll
do that in the next hour or so. But you know,
we'll investigate how she learned about the contest, how she
won the contest, how she likes to listen to it.
I want you to play. You know what you need
to do. Go to kfab dot com. But the keywork
credit in this hour and you'll have a chance to
win that thousand bucks. Good luck to you, sent you something.

(02:52):
Marco Rubio is one of many people that are going
through the Senate confirmation situation with these various committees that
are looking to confirm these people who are involved in
Donald Trump's cabinet. Of course, Marco Rubio has been nominated
to be the secretary of State. What is one big

(03:12):
secretary of state thing that has popped up over the
last week. Give me one. Give me a foreign policy
thing that the secretary of State would have to worry about.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Well, the news today the ceasefire.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Big time, big time.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Actually, that's like one less thing that they kind of
have to worry about because there's no more negotiations there.
It's just, hey, this agreement has been agreed to adhere
to it or it's broken, and then we got to
get back involved. Sounds like that's the thing that they're
not anticipating happening. They may be done with this. What's
another thing foreign policy?

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Well, of course you have the ongoing war Russia invading Ukraine, Bengo.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
That's going to be something they're gonna have to pay
close attention to. Right, what's another one? Another one? Just
don't think too hard about things that already happen. You
think about things that have been said by people who
are about to take office.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Oh well, he might he might need to get some
people from Greenland on the horn, maybe from Denmark to
do some smoothing. Maybe they might need to listen to
some Christopher Cross sailing and just you know, smooth the waters,
a little bit little yacht rock and relaxing. Maybe a
beverage or two, you know, try to try to.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
I'm just.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
You think that's gonna work with Denmark? Do you think
they even know what sailing is? Of course they do.
They think they could compete in the Olympics and sailing.
What am I talking about?

Speaker 3 (04:29):
I just get the vibe that you go out to Denmark,
you bring some yacht rock, you bring some low alcohol beverages,
you know, like two or three percent, nothing too crazy.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Like a wine cooler.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah, like a wine cool You don't want to get
those old Denmarkians all wacky.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
You know.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
It's all Danish. And the Greenlanders aren't Danish. They'reas Danish
as the people who live in Curisou are Dutch. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Don't eat a green Danish by the way, that could
make you sick. So what are they Greenlanders?

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Right? Yeah? I think Greenlanders?

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:56):
They love yacht rock.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Guy, They're like they're kind of Inuit if you like,
I've watched a video of somebody is up there doing
you know, good work as a you know, journalist. But
there's like what fifty six thousand people who live on
this gigantic island. It is not a highly populated area,
but the people who live there are more of like
an Inuit background. They're not just like Danish people that

(05:19):
decided they were going to kind of live in this
place in North America.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
All right.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Like I said, the Kingdom of the Netherlands extends to
Aruba in curasaow the Netherlands Antilles in the Caribbean. If
you go down to curasaou do you think they speak
a lot of Dutch? Or do you think they wear
the wooden shoes? Do you think they celebrate tulip time?

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Eh? All right?

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Greenland is kind of the same thing when it comes
to Denmark. Now, Mark Rubio had something to say today
about Greenland because it's now a hot topic in regards
to what his job may look like. We will get
to his thoughts on that coming up next on news
Radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
Emery's songer What's going on out here? On news Radio
eleven ten kfab. They keep doubling up and I don't
like it. What is Greenland? Why is it so important?
What is Greenland all about?

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Well, as part of his confirmation hearing on the Capitol
grounds today, well, Senator Marco Rubio was talking about Greenland.
So here is Marco Rubio, potentially the future Secretary of
State of the United States of America, speaking about this
all of a sudden hot topic. The largest island in
the world which happens to be located in North America, Greenland.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
I think we did't understand that Greenlands was strategically important
to the United States and to the West for a
very long time. In fact, in nineteen forty one, at
the outbreak of World War II, the United States I
was signed up as a protectorate even though the Denmark
had been occupied. You think back into the night, I
think Harry Truman tried to buy Denmark. Harry Truman had
made an effort to try to buy for like one

(06:54):
hundred million dollars.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
He was rebuffed.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
And then the US has maintained through the Mutual Defense Agreement,
there the opportunity to base itself, to have military bases,
and I have them for a while.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Why.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
The reason why is because of what it's located geographically. Yes,
they're access to the minerals on green that are critically important.
But as more navigal space is opening up in the Arctic,
particularly this northern passage that goes from Russia to China,
Russia to Asia and could cut transit times by as
much as forty percent. The Arctic is going to become

(07:29):
incredibly critical, and so we have to have a presence there.
We have to have a presence. They're not just saying, okay,
we have a base, we have two hundred people, or
we have a flag flying. We have to have the ability,
for example, to have the ships that can navigate on
the naval level and keep those shipping lanes open if
in fact they're being threatened. We have to have partners
along the Arctic region that will join us and ensuring
that the Arctic region is open for free and flow

(07:52):
of navigation as these passages open up, because global trade
is in many ways going to be infused by it.
We have positions within the State Department that I think
in the past have been diminished or people just haven't
paid a lot of attention to. I just had this
conversation the other day with Senator Murkowski that all of
a sudden, I think people are interested in serving in
Arctic affairs and an Arctic posts because this issue of

(08:16):
Greenland has opened our eyes to the broader geographic importance
of the Arctic region, which long has been a curiosity
or something people have not talked about. But I think
now we have the opportunity to see it for what
it is, and that is, if not the most important,
one of the most critical parts of the world over
the next fifty to one hundred years will be whether

(08:36):
there's going to be freedom of navigation in the Arctic
and what that will mean for global trade and commerce.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
That is Marco Rubio, who at Senate confirmation hearing today
was speaking on Greenland. When he talks about this, you
can really understand what the value is and why it's
being brought up by the executive branch, Donald Trump specifically.
You think Donald Trump just woke up one days like,
you know what, I want to talk about Greenland. That's
going to really rile some people up, or more likely
Donald Trump talked to some people who are in the know,

(09:05):
including somebody like Marco Rubio, who I'll be honest with you,
I'll due respect to Pam Bondi, into Pete Haigseth, and
to everyone else who is being nominated for various positions.
I don't think there is a single nominee of Trump's
cabinet that is more qualified for the position he's been
nominated to be than Marco Rubio is to be the
Secretary of State of the United States ten years ago.

(09:26):
When he was flirting with running for a president in
twenty fifteen twenty sixteen, he in that moment, as a
guy in his early forties, already had a better understanding
of foreign policy and had better experience with his work
in the Senate in foreign policy than anybody on those
stages when he was going through the primary process. He

(09:47):
didn't have the right personality and he didn't have the
ability to think on his feet well enough to compete
with Trump. But he was right there till the very
end with Donald Trump. Now Here we are eight years
later from the twenty sixteen election essentially to now, and
here is a guy now in his early fifties, and
he even has more experience in this field. This is

(10:10):
the kind of person in this particular job that I
have absolutely no worries about. I mean, I could come
back and that could I could eat my words on this.
Marco Rubio gets stuck. You know, something crazy happens and
we're wondering where our Secretary of State is I don't
feel like that's going to happen now. If you were
to tell me that there would be missteps with Hageset's
and the Secretary of Defense in the Department of the Defense, sure,

(10:33):
I could see that. There are ways that I could
see that happening. Toolsy Gabbart having some issues in the
Department of Intelligence, Yeah, I could see that. I could
see all sorts of stuff happening with any of these
other maybe non major names. I mean, Gosh, Christy Nome
in the Department of Homeland Security, Doug Bergham in the
Department of the Interior, all sorts of these things. Right,

(10:53):
It's not as much about those people not being particularly
qualified for whatever they're about to do. It's just that
Mark Rubio is so qualified for what he's about to
do that I don't know how you can be a
Democrat look at Mark Ruby and say, oh, yeah, this
guy is not fit for this job. I just cannot
imagine under any circumstance somebody feeling that way, and that

(11:14):
his two minutes there on Greenland told you everything you
need to know about why Greenland is important. Right now
without all of the outside fodder and people saying Donald
Trump's out of his mind and everything, because he's the
one saying it the way Mark Rubio says that you're
just like, Okay, yeah, I can actually buy why Greenland
would be important there now. Whether or not Denmark is
like gonna play ball with us on that, I don't know,

(11:35):
and I don't even know what that means. But this
is the kind of thing when I hear this in
these orderly meetings and these hearings that really give you
an insight as to what these people think and what's
really important to them. And it just makes me feel
more secure when somebody like Marco Rubio was in charge
of something that he knows a lot about. Now, of
course that means that there could be people out there
that maybe aren't as qualified as maybe we'd like them

(11:58):
to be. But you know what, learning process and we'll
go through it one at a time. We'll give you
all the information we possibly can, and we're going to
give you another chance to win a thousand dollars in
just a few minutes here on news radio eleven ten
kfab
