Speaker 1 (00:00):
Big news of the day, Donald Trump had this big thing.
I'm not going to play a lot of the audio.
I just want to read some of the quotes President
elect Donald Trump says, and I quote this is from
a he did a big old mar a Lago thing
just before like eleven o'clock today.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Did you see any of this?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
By the way, he took questions in there, but he's
just kind of talking about like a bunch of crazy stuff.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I did not. He says this, are you.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Ready, We're going to be changing the name of the
Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has
a beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
The Gulf of America. What a beautiful name, and it's appropriate.
End quote.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
What do you think, Matt, the Gulf of Mexico, the
Gulf of America. Where is it? The Gulf of Mexico.
You don't know where the Gulf of Mexico.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Is a map, I'd be like, oh, yeah, that's where
it is. Watch this right here, I'm googling, Oh yeah,
that's where it is. Are you serious? Maybe I'm serious,
Maybe I'm not. I like to keep keep people guessing,
you know what, I would say, okay, so that's America
goes around the Gulf of Mexico.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
By the way, the name goes back to England and
the Euros called it that. This comes well before the
United States was a thing. This was like even as
like America was still in the process of being settled.
So this isn't like somebody in nineteen twenty decided to
name this body of water that is inside of Florida
and kind of is that the Yucatan Peninsula? And yeah,
(01:47):
that is that? What that am I making that up?
Is that the name of it, the Yucatan Yucatan Peninsula.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I got it. I see, I just know stuff, the
Yucatan Peninsul. I knew that. I knew.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I knew that you knew it, and I just had
to look it up to so I didn't second guess myself,
but I second guessed myself.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I was right to beget. I can't tan, but you
can tan.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Ah. Yeah, so the Yucatan Peninsula kind of swings up.
That's like the Cancoon area from Mexico in Central America,
and then Florida is on the other side a different
peninsula and that body of water, which of course is
still connected to the Atlantic Ocean, but that's inside kind
of that swath is called the Gulf of Mexico, and
(02:32):
a golf is kind of a kind of closed off,
larger body of water. There's several gulfs around the world,
but this is ours. The gulf. The Baja over by
Baja is golf. There's a golf. It's a little skinny
golf goes all the way up. So yeah, it's called
the Gulf because of the style of body of water
it is, and it's called the Golf of Mexico because
(02:54):
that's what they were calling it hundreds and hundreds of
years ago. How would you go about changing the name
of something like this. It's not like we're changing the
name of a state that we own. This is a
body of water that's you know, it's just kind of there,
it exists.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
How do you do that? I don't think you do.
I think he just wants to.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I think this is a playful jab at Mexico more
than anything. But what if he did, and what if
we actually started calling it that the Gulf of America.
I mean, it doesn't change anything, but it's like you
just have to kind of rewrite textbooks.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
You know, message to Donald, America is kind of Italian
if you think about it, America is changing Italian. Yeah,
Like the name America sounds like an Italian guy. Maybe
we can change that too, Donald, There's plenty of people
that have the name of America and they're all Hispanic.
I was just taking a stab in the dark. Yeah,
wasn't America Italian guy? Though?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
America Ferrara is a woman who's an actor?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Who America is named after? Who is.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Who is America named after? Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian explorer. Okay,
there we go. See catches a squirrel every once in
a while. Why no, Amerigo is his name? And then
you just changed the like it's generally accepted. According to Wikipedia,
(04:23):
the name derives from Amerigo A Vispucci, an Italian explorer
who explores a new continent following the discovery by Christopher Columbus.
The term America is a I suppose a translation of
some kind. Again, how are they naming things back then?
(04:47):
I would just I'd love to sit down with the
guys that were just like, you know what, we're gonna
name it this? I mean, there's some some document the
history of the naming of like American cities for different
reasons and what they mean. But you got to remember America,
the United States specifically is pretty much like like a
(05:08):
super new kid on the block, like the Italian in Greek,
and French in Roman, and like Roman, I guess is
Italian in Spanish Portuguese. Like the naming of all of
that stuff, and the English, like even from the Anglo Saxons,
the English, the Germans, all of that is so old,
like how are they naming things?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
They think?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
This earliest known use of the name of America dates
back to fifteen oh seven, but that specifically applied to
what is now South America, but it could have included
all of the giant continent that they had discovered. They
just didn't know all about where, like how far it
went and all that stuff. At that point, they just
knew where they could land kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
So I don't know now.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
The Gulf of Mexico. Who named the Gulf of Mexico.
And the answer to that question is the Mayans. I
mean it was used as a trade route, It wasn't
(06:17):
named that.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
The first alleged exploration of the Gulf of Mexico was
by Amerigo Vespucci in fourteen ninety seven.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
There are old maps from this around this time frame
that like in the sixteen hundreds that specifically call it
the Gulf de Mexico at that point. So there's that
there's one thing Donald Trump wants to do. This one thing.
This also comes as Canada, and we talked about this
(06:53):
a little bit, the fifty first state thing, where a
lot of people all of a sudden on social media
I noticed kind of leaning in on it. Now again,
I think that's an absurd thing to think that Canada
is just going to hand it over. However, there are
people that are suggesting this could be some sort of
working partnership like the European Union operates, where all the
(07:18):
European countries kind of you can go to like I
was in Spain and Andorra and Dora might not be
a great example because of how small it is, but
I was in two different countries in Europe, and they
use the same documents, they use the same money, they
utilize a lot of the same rules, so you can
travel between the countries and things are pretty okay, you
(07:44):
know what I mean? Again, what's the messaging here? If
you do this and you're like, hey, you know, we
should just become this great partner with Canada. Isn't that
kind of what Vladimir Putent's trying to force a Ukraine?
He just kind of wants to take it over and
call it Russia more so than he just wants to,
(08:05):
you know, work with him, because they're kind of enemy
since the whole fall of the Soviet Union. So I
don't know, what do you think.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
About the idea that Canada and then because it could
be more like a European Union kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, Like, if that's the way that we're talking about it,
does that? I mean it sounds like something that is
not impossible. The fifty first state thing that's never going
to happen. No, but it's too big of a hat. Yeah,
it's too big of a hat. It would immediately become
the largest state. It would immediately be crying about the
(08:42):
fact that it has way more people that two senators
should have, and we would be trying, like, we have
way too many resources in land.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
You can't just take us all. It wouldn't be fair
to play them in football either. We'd go up there
as Nebraska. They'd have all of Canada to find fifty
five good players and just wouldn't be fair. Well, that's
the thing though, California is.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
The largest state in terms of population and the col
Golden Bears haven't exactly been killing it on the football
field the last couple of decades.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, that's that's a Berkeley problem.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I'm just saying. It's like, but there are schools like
USC that are more regional in the state that actually
are really competitive. There there are football teams in Canada,
the colleges that play football in Canada.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
They play Canadian football rules, but they play football.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
I don't know how good they are compared to what
American football would be, but yeah, I mean, I don't know,
it'd be interesting. There's plenty of other stuff that he said.
I'll get to it, but I'm just fascinated by the
renaming of stuff and all of this stuff that he's
kind of talking about. It's pretty wild to me, the like,
(09:51):
like he's just throwing this stuff out there, and I
wonder how much of it is like to see our reaction,
but how much of it is actually like, Hey, I
actually want to buy Green, I actually do want to
reacquire the Panama Canal and all this other stuff, stuff
that wasn't even like on the table as we were
like campaigning for the presidency.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
It is quite interesting.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
So we'll talk more about this and plenty more here
on news Radio eleven to ten kfab and raised Songer.
I wanted to talk about a couple other things that
I thought were notable from this Trump press conference. The
House did, by the way, today pass a bill that
included forty eight Democrats jumping on with all of the
Republicans to support this, and it was basically, it targets
(10:38):
undocumented immigrants charged with nonviolent crimes for deportation. And this
is probably step one of trying to understand what's going
on at the southern border and how the new regime,
including the new Congress, is going to be able to
handle this. And they're getting audit very quickly. So there,
(11:01):
like I mentioned, forty eight Democrats jumped on with this
as well, and there's certainly going to be some Democrats
in the Senate that's going to jump onto this, So
this isn't going to have any sort of thing going on.
So another thing was this Canada bit and Canada's Foreign minister,
(11:22):
because you got to remember Justin trudeauz resigned like he's
out now again. I totally understand that Canada's politics, while
they're probably very similar to ours in the way that
they're constructed, in the way that they do elections, and
how the governing kind of works, even if it goes
(11:44):
by different names, it's not all that different from ours.
But I don't really know what the political landscape of
Canada is. Besides, there's kind of a growing swell of
conservatism happening north of the border as well well. Donald
Trump at all this Canada talk. According to Melanie, Canada's
foreign minister. She went on her social media and said
Canada would never back down in the face of threats
(12:07):
after Trump suggested that he would be using economic force
to keep Canada and the United States together as one
if you will. So the quote is President elect Trump's
comments show a complete lack of understanding of what makes
Canada a strong country. Our economy is strong, our people
are strong. And again I don't I don't know, it's
(12:28):
you know, if they can somehow stay in power. This
Liberal Party certainly is going to be pushing back against
Trump at all costs, and we'll see this Jolee character,
Melanie Jolie may very well end up being who takes
charge for Canada in this situation. But yeah, I think
(12:51):
the United States and Canada together as one thing, if
they have some sort of stronger partnership, is a very
good thing for maybe both of them. But again, what
sovereign nation, and especially of the size of Canada, especially
one that has some resources and seemingly is in a
(13:12):
safe place in the world, what benefit is enough for
them to say, Okay, that's fine, the United States can
call all the shots.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Matt Case and I were neighbors, certainly wouldn't be telling
Matt Case, you should just give me the pool. Like
I can use the pool more often than you can.
I'll clean it for you, but I get unlimited access
to it, and I can just help myself and trust me.
You know. With that being said, you and I should,
(13:46):
you know, eat dinner the same way every night. You
and I should you know, when we're having a big
night out. You got to, like, I get to decide
what we go and do. But at the same time,
I'm going to let you live in your own house.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Still, that's a little bossy, eh. You know, you can
have my pool when you want to. You can come
over a but like it's mine, so back off. Okay,
what are you saying? Here's still my bud. But let's
let's cool it down with this rhetoric. Okay, because I
got some mounties and uh, what are you saying? Are
(14:19):
you gonna prevent me from using your pool whenever I want?
I want to use your pool? You know what, we
can get so much more out of a large pizza
if we are working together and we share this. It'll
be delivered to my house and you have to come
over to my house to eat it. But we're splitting
the cost fifty to fifty. That's gonna benefit both of us.
I have done the legwork in ordering the pizza. You
(14:40):
just have to come over to my house to enjoy it.
But also bring fifty percent of the bill and I
get access to the pool. But also, can you clean
my gutters? Actually, I'm gonna pay somebody else to clean
the gutters and I'll have them clean yours too, But
you know, fifty percent of the bill. Yeah, sure, eh,
(15:04):
as long as I can still drink some syrup. Okay.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Meantime, all right, so I've achieved achieved the annexing essentially
your property.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, as friendly Canadians aren't too good at negotiating.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
You know, I would in this scenario if this is
you know, kind of only it's probably only seventy percent accurate,
but you know, you can kind of see how this
would go. You're losing a lot of independence because I
just kind of start calling the shots because I got
the bigger house. And let's be honest, you know, in
this scenario, if we got the bigger house, even if
you have a pool, I probably have more fundage. I'm
(15:40):
a little bit more of an alpha in terms of
deciding a lot of things. More people need me than
they need you. So you know, when the mayor comes
knocking down our street and saying, hey, we're gonna like
put Google Fiber in here and we're gonna tear up
these sidewalks, I'm the kind of guy that can stand
up to him and say, nobody here wants this crap.
Leave us alone, you know, And I'm doing that on
(16:01):
behalf of you as well. Don't you want that help?
Don't you want me to help you? Don't you want
me to stand up for all of us on the block.
I mean, people aren't gonna mess with you. I mean,
you could make the argument that they are really messing
with you now, but you're actually gonna have a bigger
(16:21):
seat at the table.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
See, if you're hanging out with me, it seems like
the only one messing with me now is you. Eh,
you got to you know what, I saw this mob
movie last night kind of reminded me how you're doing things.
You know, Oh, is that right? A little bit of
mob tactics. You know, this neighborhood was nice and calm.
Then the mob comes in says, all of a sudden,
I got all these dues to pay. Now, all of
(16:43):
a sudden, there's these problems when I don't there wasn't
problems before.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Trump says if Canada merged with the US, there would
be no terriffs, taxes would go way down, and they
would be totally secure from the threat of the Russian
and Chinese ships that are constantly surrounding them. Again, you know,
I'd like to know where they're being surrounded. I think,
you know, we're we got to keep our eyeballs up
on Alaska more than Canada is probably watching any of them.
(17:09):
I don't even know if Canada really cares that much.
I mean, what's Russia going to do to Canada except
try to you know, like Alaska is protecting them. So
in this scenario, right, you know, I don't know like
I think it's a mutually beneficial thing. I think we
benefit the fact that I get your resources and I
get to use your pool, and you know, our economies
(17:32):
can help each other out. You get the fact that
I'm the big guy on the block with the biggest
house in the most money. And you know what, anybody
that's going to come and mess with us, I have
a chance to be the one that kind of gives
you a great shield. You're not gonna get messed with
ever again by anybody. You just have to be my sidekick.
Kind of have to accept that number two rule. And
(17:55):
let's be honest, you're number two to us anyway, if
we're not counting Mexico, which you could make the argument
their number two, but you know we're clearly number one.
Don't you want to be paling around with number one.
I'm but Jock, I'm the quarterback of the football team.
I'm offering an olive branch to you that you can
be my friend. But you just have to go make
sure you carry around my football pads out of my locker.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah, which you're terrible at hockey. Doesn't that matter? You
guys are a bunch of holsers down there. Oh you
can't even stand the cold. Okay, you get winchill gets
below negative thirty and you all start shivering like a
bunch of pansies. Okay, Oh okay, yeah, you pylon.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
How about you know we we go around into I
put a pair of skates on and we'll see.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Oh yeah, why don't you eat some more McDonald to
maybe get type two diabetes while you're at it? Oh oh,
that's that's nice. We're skating around a rink, actually staying
in shape and having a good times. Are down there
with your son Tan. Funny, it's funny.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Could you do a quick favor in Google who won
the World Junior Hockey Championships this week? Can you do
that real quick?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I don't have to. We gave it to you guys
because we're so friendly. Yeah, that's what you're gonna sit
here and say you're better at hocksw did you lose
to Is it Latvia that eliminated you?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
For No?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
You got a woodchipper for folks like you? Yeah, yeah,
I bet you do.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I bet you do yep, Beaver, It's two twenty nine
News Radio eleven ten kfab Emory sung you just gotta
go into Canada Speak.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
People liked it. They liked it, they thought it was funny.
They thought I sounded like a true Canadian. I think
all the above. I thought the Canadian bit was really
really good. Okay, Well, hey, a whole lot of buddies
and friendos out there who liked my Canadian And I'll
keep it up, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Well, you gotta, you know, pick your spots. I will
get it to anything. Too much of anything is too much,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Quite a bit of things in the news with this
Donald Trump stuff. And I gotta be honest with you.
The Greenland thing is kind of interesting. Do you know
where Greenland is?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Mister? I don't know where the Golf of Mexico is.
You know. I learned where the Golf of Mexico and
Greenland was during the break. I'm looking at a map here,
and it's quite fascinating if you look at it. You
uh boy, You know, Canada and Greenland they do just
kind of flow into each other. But but my only
worry though, is is so you get both of those.
(20:13):
Who's to say you don't just keep going like what's next? Iceland?
And then you're right on the footsteps there, the doorstep
of Europe and the footsteps of Europe the doorstep there
because you get Greenland. I mean, what does Greenland really
give you? I suppose you know strategy, But you want
(20:41):
to talk about renaming things, let's start with Greenland, Okay.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Well, and Iceland for that matter. Right, Iceland's got more
green in it than Greenland does, and Greenland's got more
Iceland Iceland does. Why don't they swap?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Is it true that that was an old Viking trick
I don't know, called Greenland Iceland and Iceland Greenland because
they wanted to trick people into going to the wrong place.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Well, and this is another thing. If Donald Trump is
talking about taking Greenland, then then also like having some
partnership with Canada, whether that's them becoming a fifty first
state or whatever. And again I don't believe he really
thinks a lot of this stuff. I think he's saying
(21:23):
this stuff to rile them up and get them at
the table to talk about things. Okay, but Greenland is
owned by Denmark, is in not now we're talking about
Denmark like handing something over that they've had for a
long time. The Saga of Eric the Red States. In
(21:44):
the summer, Eric left to settle in the country he
had found, which he called Greenland, as he said people
would be attracted there if it had a favorable name.
That's why Greenland is called Greenland. Now, when did Denmark
claim Greenland? It's been under Denmark's control since the fourteenth century,
(22:07):
but has been a self governing territory since nineteen seventy nine.
Is this not like, why are we just now talking
about this? And again we have Donald Trump. Another big
thing he talked about was the hostages and the Middle
(22:29):
East and stuff. But I mentioned that because there's so
much foreign policy things that it seems like he and
Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, we assume is going
to try to tackle. And if you put all these
things in a group, I think the first thing you
have to worry about is our southern border, right, illegal
(22:50):
immigration and the remain in Mexico and possible deportation of criminals.
And they're working on that within Congress right now. That way,
when he sits at that desk on January twentieth he
can just sit down and start signing stuff like I
get that right. Congress is working on moving some of
that stuff along. But you want to know something else
after that. You got to get this Israel Hamas thing
(23:11):
figured out. And he says it's gonna be chaos. He's
he's gonna create chaos and it's gonna be nasty, nasty
stuff if those hostages aren't released by Hamas by the
time he takes office. I don't know what that means.
I don't know what that means. Is that mean the
United State's gonna get much more involved over there? I
don't know, but that's what he says. And then he
says that he's gonna be able to end this Ukraine
(23:32):
Russia thing very quickly, and I'd love to see that.
I think a lot of us would rather that thing
be over with. I don't know who's given up what,
but it's a lot better than us being on the
hook to continuously, you know, fund that, which I don't
think is going to happen based on who's going to
be in charge. But you know, it'd be nice if
(23:53):
it was just over with. But after all of that
is when I think you need to start talking about, Hey,
maybe we should partner up with Canada. Hey, maybe we
should get back to the Panama Canal. Hey maybe we
should take over Greenland. And he's insinuating taking the Panama
Canal by force, which I don't know what that means, right,
(24:14):
It's just like, don't like like and I don't know
what force means, not necessarily, like, hey, he's going to
invade Panama and force them to give up the canal
that we helped build. But it's like, h I think
maybe there could be some sort of diplomatic way that
he could, you know, the tariff type thing or whatever
(24:37):
and make it hurt Panama somehow. I'm sure there are
ways to do that, but I don't know, Man, of
all of these things that we're talking about, I don't
know how many of these are actually legit, and how
many of these are things that he's just kind of
speaking about. Because it's something that gets the new needle
(25:00):
moving and could get people to say, Okay, this guy
means business. We better just start talking to him and
opening some communication channels, because we don't want anybody to
get the wrong idea about what the heck he's talking
about or also that we don't take him seriously because
you just never know what a guy like Trump, he
very well may just decide to show up in Panama
(25:21):
one day and say this is mine.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Now what are you going to do about it? And
who knows?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
And if you're a Hamas and you're listening and say
stuff like all hell will break loose that the hostages
aren't freed by the time I take office, is that
going to move the needle for you? Like the United
States just kind of sitting and waiting. And now Donald
Trump says, if if by January twentieth, which is less
than two weeks by the way, you guys haven't figured
out a deal to get rid of those hostages and
(25:49):
get them back into Israeli or wherever they came from,
you think that moves the needle for them? It probably should, right,
I mean, we're talking about a guy with actual, you know,
gumption taking over the White House. The last thing that
they need is the United States to get a little
(26:14):
bit more active in protecting Israel or trying to rescue
those hostages. And is that good news for Iran?
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Either? It's like, does Iran really want to mess with us?
Or does it? Ron kind of tell them.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Okay, okay, we probably should, we should probably just get
this over with. I don't know, time will tell on
this stuff, but I think a lot of him just
talking this stuff out loud is intending to move the
needle in a lot of different directions for a lot
of different people. And I mean, does does Justin Trudeau
(26:48):
resign if it's not for Donald Trump? And Trump talking
about tariffs and that conservative movement kind of leaking across
the top of the Canadian border, there's a bigger movement
of people saying, hey, this liberal stuff ain't working for
me anymore. Look at what America just did, go with
the United States just did. Now's the chance for us
(27:10):
to create that movement here too. And Justin Trudeau's like,
it's pretty clear based on the polls that we're not
being we're not very favorable right now.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
How do we how do we adjust this?
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I don't know, Well that's a big question, right what's
next for them? Heck, he told their congress, he told
their parliament, the Canadian Parliament, you know what, he told them,
I'm resigning and we're going to put into law, Hey,
don't show up for.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Work until March. We have stuff to figure out.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
What the Parliament's not meeting until March. Why that's I'm
telling you there's stuff going on up there. You gotta
do some ice fishing. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
You gotta do some ice fishing, some beer drinking, some thinking,
you know.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
But I mean, and then Trump's just like consistently clowning
them right now. So I mean, they're looking like like Schmo's.
So I think he felt like he had no choice
but just get the heck out of there. He was
sick of getting like he did not want to be
(28:10):
around while Donald Trump was there. But now because of
all this, you know, instability that has been created through
the Liberal Party of Canada. Who that knows what's going
to happen next two forty nine, we'll have more news
Radio eleven ten.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
KFA b Emrie Sunger.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
First of all, if I told you that the United
States acquired Greenland, what would be your reaction?
Speaker 2 (28:31):
I'd say acquired? Was it a trade? We give Denmark something?
What happened? I want to know all the details. Well, I.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Would have an answer when that happened. I wouldn't even
begin to know what Denmark would require.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Are we trading draft picks. Are we trading real people?
You know? Is this a cash exchange? Maybe we could
send John Fetterman over there.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Why Fetterman's coming around man to be good democratic exactly?
Speaker 2 (28:58):
That's my exact point. Zend Vetterman over there. He's dressed
for the weather. He's got he's got plenty of sweatshirts.
He's also got plenty of sandals. So you could say
his lower half is set up to be in San Diego,
his lower half stays in America. His top there's a
lot of symbolism here. You're gonna have.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
David Blaine cut him in half. Like what are we
talking about? How about David Spade? Better David to send
its David Spade send him over there. He'd be kind
of like sardonic and rude, but in a funny way.
You are they representing us or are we just casting
someone off like they do in South Park? That the
Canadians in South Park they don't like somebody, They just
like put him on an ice, a thing of ice
(29:35):
that just cast him out to sea. Like that's is
that what we're doing here? You know what we're giving
Denmark our dregs.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
That's not a bad idea. England did that with Australia,
and look how good it worked out for Australia. Now
they got a whole bunch of buck wild fun people
down there. Who are I mean, you could make the
argument giant spiders. But you could make the argument though,
that England did with every like they were colonizing, but
they didn't send their best people to colonize. Yeah, there
(30:02):
were a few people that were pretty high ranking in
their society. But the way that the constructive society was
is if you were a dreg, you were most likely,
especially if you were single, just to get shipped off
to one of these places and said, hey, you want
some adventure, We'll give you a bit of money, but
just never come back. I mean, that's what happened.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
But in turn, these are the people that founded America,
these are the people that founded South Africa. Well they
didn't found but like you know, they colonized Canada. As
in that conversation, Australia is a great example of sending
people who were really low on the totem poll. I mean, so,
I mean that whole Kingdom, right, they colonized so many
(30:42):
places with mostly the worst of their society.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
According to that. Have you seen Game of Thrones? I
very in and out it's too much for Amory. I
totally agree. By the way, I totally agree it was
too much for me too. There was a certain scene
in a couple of seasons in that was just so
graphic and disgusting, like I can't do this anymore. But
I bring that up to say, send people to Greenland
(31:06):
at your own peril because winter is coming. If you
know what I mean, M nice, that is a good pull.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
I think a lot of people who even no don't
know anything about Game of Thrones may have been familiar
with the Winter is coming line.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Yeah. Basically, what I'm saying is is a bunch of
frozen over people who are really ticked off were probably
gonna make their way back to America and cause a
bit of a ruckus.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Yeah, and that's very possible. What's the population of Greenland?
Let me check real quick. What's the population of Greenland?
Fifty six thousand people? Fifty six thousand people. There are
more people in Lincoln, Nebraska than there are that entire
giant island, the largest island in the on planet Earth.
But this thing, anyway, make a long story short, is
(31:52):
there's an axis of like Russia and North Korea and
even China that are trying to, you know, kind of
get a presence in the Northern Circle, the Arctic Circle,
and Trump is trying to acquire as much of or
get people on the same page to help prevent that
from actually permeating and happening. We'll have more on the
way on news radio eleven to ten kfab
Big news of the day, Donald Trump had this big thing.
I'm not going to play a lot of the audio.
I just want to read some of the quotes President
elect Donald Trump says, and I quote this is from
a he did a big old mar a Lago thing
just before like eleven o'clock today.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Did you see any of this?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
By the way, he took questions in there, but he's
just kind of talking about like a bunch of crazy stuff.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I did not. He says this, are you.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Ready, We're going to be changing the name of the
Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has
a beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
The Gulf of America. What a beautiful name, and it's appropriate.
End quote.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
What do you think, Matt, the Gulf of Mexico, the
Gulf of America. Where is it? The Gulf of Mexico.
You don't know where the Gulf of Mexico.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Is a map, I'd be like, oh, yeah, that's where
it is. Watch this right here, I'm googling, Oh yeah,
that's where it is. Are you serious? Maybe I'm serious,
Maybe I'm not. I like to keep keep people guessing,
you know what, I would say, okay, so that's America
goes around the Gulf of Mexico.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
By the way, the name goes back to England and
the Euros called it that. This comes well before the
United States was a thing. This was like even as
like America was still in the process of being settled.
So this isn't like somebody in nineteen twenty decided to
name this body of water that is inside of Florida
and kind of is that the Yucatan Peninsula? And yeah,
(01:47):
that is that? What that am I making that up?
Is that the name of it, the Yucatan Yucatan Peninsula.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I got it. I see, I just know stuff, the
Yucatan Peninsul. I knew that. I knew.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I knew that you knew it, and I just had
to look it up to so I didn't second guess myself,
but I second guessed myself.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I was right to beget. I can't tan, but you
can tan.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Ah. Yeah, so the Yucatan Peninsula kind of swings up.
That's like the Cancoon area from Mexico in Central America,
and then Florida is on the other side a different
peninsula and that body of water, which of course is
still connected to the Atlantic Ocean, but that's inside kind
of that swath is called the Gulf of Mexico, and
(02:32):
a golf is kind of a kind of closed off,
larger body of water. There's several gulfs around the world,
but this is ours. The gulf. The Baja over by
Baja is golf. There's a golf. It's a little skinny
golf goes all the way up. So yeah, it's called
the Gulf because of the style of body of water
it is, and it's called the Golf of Mexico because
(02:54):
that's what they were calling it hundreds and hundreds of
years ago. How would you go about changing the name
of something like this. It's not like we're changing the
name of a state that we own. This is a
body of water that's you know, it's just kind of there,
it exists.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
How do you do that? I don't think you do.
I think he just wants to.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I think this is a playful jab at Mexico more
than anything. But what if he did, and what if
we actually started calling it that the Gulf of America.
I mean, it doesn't change anything, but it's like you
just have to kind of rewrite textbooks.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
You know, message to Donald, America is kind of Italian
if you think about it, America is changing Italian. Yeah,
Like the name America sounds like an Italian guy. Maybe
we can change that too, Donald, There's plenty of people
that have the name of America and they're all Hispanic.
I was just taking a stab in the dark. Yeah,
wasn't America Italian guy? Though?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
America Ferrara is a woman who's an actor?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Who America is named after? Who is.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Who is America named after? Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian explorer. Okay,
there we go. See catches a squirrel every once in
a while. Why no, Amerigo is his name? And then
you just changed the like it's generally accepted. According to Wikipedia,
(04:23):
the name derives from Amerigo A Vispucci, an Italian explorer
who explores a new continent following the discovery by Christopher Columbus.
The term America is a I suppose a translation of
some kind. Again, how are they naming things back then?
(04:47):
I would just I'd love to sit down with the
guys that were just like, you know what, we're gonna
name it this? I mean, there's some some document the
history of the naming of like American cities for different
reasons and what they mean. But you got to remember America,
the United States specifically is pretty much like like a
(05:08):
super new kid on the block, like the Italian in Greek,
and French in Roman, and like Roman, I guess is
Italian in Spanish Portuguese. Like the naming of all of
that stuff, and the English, like even from the Anglo Saxons,
the English, the Germans, all of that is so old,
like how are they naming things?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
They think?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
This earliest known use of the name of America dates
back to fifteen oh seven, but that specifically applied to
what is now South America, but it could have included
all of the giant continent that they had discovered. They
just didn't know all about where, like how far it
went and all that stuff. At that point, they just
knew where they could land kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
So I don't know now.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
The Gulf of Mexico. Who named the Gulf of Mexico.
And the answer to that question is the Mayans. I
mean it was used as a trade route, It wasn't
(06:17):
named that.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
The first alleged exploration of the Gulf of Mexico was
by Amerigo Vespucci in fourteen ninety seven.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
There are old maps from this around this time frame
that like in the sixteen hundreds that specifically call it
the Gulf de Mexico at that point. So there's that
there's one thing Donald Trump wants to do. This one thing.
This also comes as Canada, and we talked about this
(06:53):
a little bit, the fifty first state thing, where a
lot of people all of a sudden on social media
I noticed kind of leaning in on it. Now again,
I think that's an absurd thing to think that Canada
is just going to hand it over. However, there are
people that are suggesting this could be some sort of
working partnership like the European Union operates, where all the
(07:18):
European countries kind of you can go to like I
was in Spain and Andorra and Dora might not be
a great example because of how small it is, but
I was in two different countries in Europe, and they
use the same documents, they use the same money, they
utilize a lot of the same rules, so you can
travel between the countries and things are pretty okay, you
(07:44):
know what I mean? Again, what's the messaging here? If
you do this and you're like, hey, you know, we
should just become this great partner with Canada. Isn't that
kind of what Vladimir Putent's trying to force a Ukraine?
He just kind of wants to take it over and
call it Russia more so than he just wants to,
(08:05):
you know, work with him, because they're kind of enemy
since the whole fall of the Soviet Union. So I
don't know, what do you think.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
About the idea that Canada and then because it could
be more like a European Union kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, Like, if that's the way that we're talking about it,
does that? I mean it sounds like something that is
not impossible. The fifty first state thing that's never going
to happen. No, but it's too big of a hat. Yeah,
it's too big of a hat. It would immediately become
the largest state. It would immediately be crying about the
(08:42):
fact that it has way more people that two senators
should have, and we would be trying, like, we have
way too many resources in land.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
You can't just take us all. It wouldn't be fair
to play them in football either. We'd go up there
as Nebraska. They'd have all of Canada to find fifty
five good players and just wouldn't be fair. Well, that's
the thing though, California is.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
The largest state in terms of population and the col
Golden Bears haven't exactly been killing it on the football
field the last couple of decades.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, that's that's a Berkeley problem.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I'm just saying. It's like, but there are schools like
USC that are more regional in the state that actually
are really competitive. There there are football teams in Canada,
the colleges that play football in Canada.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
They play Canadian football rules, but they play football.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
I don't know how good they are compared to what
American football would be, but yeah, I mean, I don't know,
it'd be interesting. There's plenty of other stuff that he said.
I'll get to it, but I'm just fascinated by the
renaming of stuff and all of this stuff that he's
kind of talking about. It's pretty wild to me, the like,
(09:51):
like he's just throwing this stuff out there, and I
wonder how much of it is like to see our reaction,
but how much of it is actually like, Hey, I
actually want to buy Green, I actually do want to
reacquire the Panama Canal and all this other stuff, stuff
that wasn't even like on the table as we were
like campaigning for the presidency.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
It is quite interesting.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
So we'll talk more about this and plenty more here
on news Radio eleven to ten kfab and raised Songer.
I wanted to talk about a couple other things that
I thought were notable from this Trump press conference. The
House did, by the way, today pass a bill that
included forty eight Democrats jumping on with all of the
Republicans to support this, and it was basically, it targets
(10:38):
undocumented immigrants charged with nonviolent crimes for deportation. And this
is probably step one of trying to understand what's going
on at the southern border and how the new regime,
including the new Congress, is going to be able to
handle this. And they're getting audit very quickly. So there,
(11:01):
like I mentioned, forty eight Democrats jumped on with this
as well, and there's certainly going to be some Democrats
in the Senate that's going to jump onto this, So
this isn't going to have any sort of thing going on.
So another thing was this Canada bit and Canada's Foreign minister,
(11:22):
because you got to remember Justin trudeauz resigned like he's
out now again. I totally understand that Canada's politics, while
they're probably very similar to ours in the way that
they're constructed, in the way that they do elections, and
how the governing kind of works, even if it goes
(11:44):
by different names, it's not all that different from ours.
But I don't really know what the political landscape of
Canada is. Besides, there's kind of a growing swell of
conservatism happening north of the border as well well. Donald
Trump at all this Canada talk. According to Melanie, Canada's
foreign minister. She went on her social media and said
Canada would never back down in the face of threats
(12:07):
after Trump suggested that he would be using economic force
to keep Canada and the United States together as one
if you will. So the quote is President elect Trump's
comments show a complete lack of understanding of what makes
Canada a strong country. Our economy is strong, our people
are strong. And again I don't I don't know, it's
(12:28):
you know, if they can somehow stay in power. This
Liberal Party certainly is going to be pushing back against
Trump at all costs, and we'll see this Jolee character,
Melanie Jolie may very well end up being who takes
charge for Canada in this situation. But yeah, I think
(12:51):
the United States and Canada together as one thing, if
they have some sort of stronger partnership, is a very
good thing for maybe both of them. But again, what
sovereign nation, and especially of the size of Canada, especially
one that has some resources and seemingly is in a
(13:12):
safe place in the world, what benefit is enough for
them to say, Okay, that's fine, the United States can
call all the shots.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Matt Case and I were neighbors, certainly wouldn't be telling
Matt Case, you should just give me the pool. Like
I can use the pool more often than you can.
I'll clean it for you, but I get unlimited access
to it, and I can just help myself and trust me.
You know. With that being said, you and I should,
(13:46):
you know, eat dinner the same way every night. You
and I should you know, when we're having a big
night out. You got to, like, I get to decide
what we go and do. But at the same time,
I'm going to let you live in your own house.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Still, that's a little bossy, eh. You know, you can
have my pool when you want to. You can come
over a but like it's mine, so back off. Okay,
what are you saying? Here's still my bud. But let's
let's cool it down with this rhetoric. Okay, because I
got some mounties and uh, what are you saying? Are
(14:19):
you gonna prevent me from using your pool whenever I want?
I want to use your pool? You know what, we
can get so much more out of a large pizza
if we are working together and we share this. It'll
be delivered to my house and you have to come
over to my house to eat it. But we're splitting
the cost fifty to fifty. That's gonna benefit both of us.
I have done the legwork in ordering the pizza. You
(14:40):
just have to come over to my house to enjoy it.
But also bring fifty percent of the bill and I
get access to the pool. But also, can you clean
my gutters? Actually, I'm gonna pay somebody else to clean
the gutters and I'll have them clean yours too, But
you know, fifty percent of the bill. Yeah, sure, eh,
(15:04):
as long as I can still drink some syrup. Okay.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Meantime, all right, so I've achieved achieved the annexing essentially
your property.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, as friendly Canadians aren't too good at negotiating.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
You know, I would in this scenario if this is
you know, kind of only it's probably only seventy percent accurate,
but you know, you can kind of see how this
would go. You're losing a lot of independence because I
just kind of start calling the shots because I got
the bigger house. And let's be honest, you know, in
this scenario, if we got the bigger house, even if
you have a pool, I probably have more fundage. I'm
(15:40):
a little bit more of an alpha in terms of
deciding a lot of things. More people need me than
they need you. So you know, when the mayor comes
knocking down our street and saying, hey, we're gonna like
put Google Fiber in here and we're gonna tear up
these sidewalks, I'm the kind of guy that can stand
up to him and say, nobody here wants this crap.
Leave us alone, you know, And I'm doing that on
(16:01):
behalf of you as well. Don't you want that help?
Don't you want me to help you? Don't you want
me to stand up for all of us on the block.
I mean, people aren't gonna mess with you. I mean,
you could make the argument that they are really messing
with you now, but you're actually gonna have a bigger
(16:21):
seat at the table.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
See, if you're hanging out with me, it seems like
the only one messing with me now is you. Eh,
you got to you know what, I saw this mob
movie last night kind of reminded me how you're doing things.
You know, Oh, is that right? A little bit of
mob tactics. You know, this neighborhood was nice and calm.
Then the mob comes in says, all of a sudden,
I got all these dues to pay. Now, all of
(16:43):
a sudden, there's these problems when I don't there wasn't
problems before.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Trump says if Canada merged with the US, there would
be no terriffs, taxes would go way down, and they
would be totally secure from the threat of the Russian
and Chinese ships that are constantly surrounding them. Again, you know,
I'd like to know where they're being surrounded. I think,
you know, we're we got to keep our eyeballs up
on Alaska more than Canada is probably watching any of them.
(17:09):
I don't even know if Canada really cares that much.
I mean, what's Russia going to do to Canada except
try to you know, like Alaska is protecting them. So
in this scenario, right, you know, I don't know like
I think it's a mutually beneficial thing. I think we
benefit the fact that I get your resources and I
get to use your pool, and you know, our economies
(17:32):
can help each other out. You get the fact that
I'm the big guy on the block with the biggest
house in the most money. And you know what, anybody
that's going to come and mess with us, I have
a chance to be the one that kind of gives
you a great shield. You're not gonna get messed with
ever again by anybody. You just have to be my sidekick.
Kind of have to accept that number two rule. And
(17:55):
let's be honest, you're number two to us anyway, if
we're not counting Mexico, which you could make the argument
their number two, but you know we're clearly number one.
Don't you want to be paling around with number one.
I'm but Jock, I'm the quarterback of the football team.
I'm offering an olive branch to you that you can
be my friend. But you just have to go make
sure you carry around my football pads out of my locker.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah, which you're terrible at hockey. Doesn't that matter? You
guys are a bunch of holsers down there. Oh you
can't even stand the cold. Okay, you get winchill gets
below negative thirty and you all start shivering like a
bunch of pansies. Okay, Oh okay, yeah, you pylon.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
How about you know we we go around into I
put a pair of skates on and we'll see.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Oh yeah, why don't you eat some more McDonald to
maybe get type two diabetes while you're at it? Oh oh,
that's that's nice. We're skating around a rink, actually staying
in shape and having a good times. Are down there
with your son Tan. Funny, it's funny.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Could you do a quick favor in Google who won
the World Junior Hockey Championships this week? Can you do
that real quick?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I don't have to. We gave it to you guys
because we're so friendly. Yeah, that's what you're gonna sit
here and say you're better at hocksw did you lose
to Is it Latvia that eliminated you?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
For No?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
You got a woodchipper for folks like you? Yeah, yeah,
I bet you do.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I bet you do yep, Beaver, It's two twenty nine
News Radio eleven ten kfab Emory sung you just gotta
go into Canada Speak.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
People liked it. They liked it, they thought it was funny.
They thought I sounded like a true Canadian. I think
all the above. I thought the Canadian bit was really
really good. Okay, Well, hey, a whole lot of buddies
and friendos out there who liked my Canadian And I'll
keep it up, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Well, you gotta, you know, pick your spots. I will
get it to anything. Too much of anything is too much,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Quite a bit of things in the news with this
Donald Trump stuff. And I gotta be honest with you.
The Greenland thing is kind of interesting. Do you know
where Greenland is?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Mister? I don't know where the Golf of Mexico is.
You know. I learned where the Golf of Mexico and
Greenland was during the break. I'm looking at a map here,
and it's quite fascinating if you look at it. You
uh boy, You know, Canada and Greenland they do just
kind of flow into each other. But but my only
worry though, is is so you get both of those.
(20:13):
Who's to say you don't just keep going like what's next? Iceland?
And then you're right on the footsteps there, the doorstep
of Europe and the footsteps of Europe the doorstep there
because you get Greenland. I mean, what does Greenland really
give you? I suppose you know strategy, But you want
(20:41):
to talk about renaming things, let's start with Greenland, Okay.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Well, and Iceland for that matter. Right, Iceland's got more
green in it than Greenland does, and Greenland's got more
Iceland Iceland does. Why don't they swap?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Is it true that that was an old Viking trick
I don't know, called Greenland Iceland and Iceland Greenland because
they wanted to trick people into going to the wrong place.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Well, and this is another thing. If Donald Trump is
talking about taking Greenland, then then also like having some
partnership with Canada, whether that's them becoming a fifty first
state or whatever. And again I don't believe he really
thinks a lot of this stuff. I think he's saying
(21:23):
this stuff to rile them up and get them at
the table to talk about things. Okay, but Greenland is
owned by Denmark, is in not now we're talking about
Denmark like handing something over that they've had for a
long time. The Saga of Eric the Red States. In
(21:44):
the summer, Eric left to settle in the country he
had found, which he called Greenland, as he said people
would be attracted there if it had a favorable name.
That's why Greenland is called Greenland. Now, when did Denmark
claim Greenland? It's been under Denmark's control since the fourteenth century,
(22:07):
but has been a self governing territory since nineteen seventy nine.
Is this not like, why are we just now talking
about this? And again we have Donald Trump. Another big
thing he talked about was the hostages and the Middle
(22:29):
East and stuff. But I mentioned that because there's so
much foreign policy things that it seems like he and
Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, we assume is going
to try to tackle. And if you put all these
things in a group, I think the first thing you
have to worry about is our southern border, right, illegal
(22:50):
immigration and the remain in Mexico and possible deportation of criminals.
And they're working on that within Congress right now. That way,
when he sits at that desk on January twentieth he
can just sit down and start signing stuff like I
get that right. Congress is working on moving some of
that stuff along. But you want to know something else
after that. You got to get this Israel Hamas thing
(23:11):
figured out. And he says it's gonna be chaos. He's
he's gonna create chaos and it's gonna be nasty, nasty
stuff if those hostages aren't released by Hamas by the
time he takes office. I don't know what that means.
I don't know what that means. Is that mean the
United State's gonna get much more involved over there? I
don't know, but that's what he says. And then he
says that he's gonna be able to end this Ukraine
(23:32):
Russia thing very quickly, and I'd love to see that.
I think a lot of us would rather that thing
be over with. I don't know who's given up what,
but it's a lot better than us being on the
hook to continuously, you know, fund that, which I don't
think is going to happen based on who's going to
be in charge. But you know, it'd be nice if
(23:53):
it was just over with. But after all of that
is when I think you need to start talking about, Hey,
maybe we should partner up with Canada. Hey, maybe we
should get back to the Panama Canal. Hey maybe we
should take over Greenland. And he's insinuating taking the Panama
Canal by force, which I don't know what that means, right,
(24:14):
It's just like, don't like like and I don't know
what force means, not necessarily, like, hey, he's going to
invade Panama and force them to give up the canal
that we helped build. But it's like, h I think
maybe there could be some sort of diplomatic way that
he could, you know, the tariff type thing or whatever
(24:37):
and make it hurt Panama somehow. I'm sure there are
ways to do that, but I don't know, Man, of
all of these things that we're talking about, I don't
know how many of these are actually legit, and how
many of these are things that he's just kind of
speaking about. Because it's something that gets the new needle
(25:00):
moving and could get people to say, Okay, this guy
means business. We better just start talking to him and
opening some communication channels, because we don't want anybody to
get the wrong idea about what the heck he's talking
about or also that we don't take him seriously because
you just never know what a guy like Trump, he
very well may just decide to show up in Panama
(25:21):
one day and say this is mine.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Now what are you going to do about it? And
who knows?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
And if you're a Hamas and you're listening and say
stuff like all hell will break loose that the hostages
aren't freed by the time I take office, is that
going to move the needle for you? Like the United
States just kind of sitting and waiting. And now Donald
Trump says, if if by January twentieth, which is less
than two weeks by the way, you guys haven't figured
out a deal to get rid of those hostages and
(25:49):
get them back into Israeli or wherever they came from,
you think that moves the needle for them? It probably should, right,
I mean, we're talking about a guy with actual, you know,
gumption taking over the White House. The last thing that
they need is the United States to get a little
(26:14):
bit more active in protecting Israel or trying to rescue
those hostages. And is that good news for Iran?
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Either? It's like, does Iran really want to mess with us?
Or does it? Ron kind of tell them.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Okay, okay, we probably should, we should probably just get
this over with. I don't know, time will tell on
this stuff, but I think a lot of him just
talking this stuff out loud is intending to move the
needle in a lot of different directions for a lot
of different people. And I mean, does does Justin Trudeau
(26:48):
resign if it's not for Donald Trump? And Trump talking
about tariffs and that conservative movement kind of leaking across
the top of the Canadian border, there's a bigger movement
of people saying, hey, this liberal stuff ain't working for
me anymore. Look at what America just did, go with
the United States just did. Now's the chance for us
(27:10):
to create that movement here too. And Justin Trudeau's like,
it's pretty clear based on the polls that we're not
being we're not very favorable right now.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
How do we how do we adjust this?
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I don't know, Well that's a big question, right what's
next for them? Heck, he told their congress, he told
their parliament, the Canadian Parliament, you know what, he told them,
I'm resigning and we're going to put into law, Hey,
don't show up for.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Work until March. We have stuff to figure out.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
What the Parliament's not meeting until March. Why that's I'm
telling you there's stuff going on up there. You gotta
do some ice fishing. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
You gotta do some ice fishing, some beer drinking, some thinking,
you know.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
But I mean, and then Trump's just like consistently clowning
them right now. So I mean, they're looking like like Schmo's.
So I think he felt like he had no choice
but just get the heck out of there. He was
sick of getting like he did not want to be
(28:10):
around while Donald Trump was there. But now because of
all this, you know, instability that has been created through
the Liberal Party of Canada. Who that knows what's going
to happen next two forty nine, we'll have more news
Radio eleven ten.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
KFA b Emrie Sunger.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
First of all, if I told you that the United
States acquired Greenland, what would be your reaction?
Speaker 2 (28:31):
I'd say acquired? Was it a trade? We give Denmark something?
What happened? I want to know all the details. Well, I.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Would have an answer when that happened. I wouldn't even
begin to know what Denmark would require.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Are we trading draft picks. Are we trading real people?
You know? Is this a cash exchange? Maybe we could
send John Fetterman over there.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Why Fetterman's coming around man to be good democratic exactly?
Speaker 2 (28:58):
That's my exact point. Zend Vetterman over there. He's dressed
for the weather. He's got he's got plenty of sweatshirts.
He's also got plenty of sandals. So you could say
his lower half is set up to be in San Diego,
his lower half stays in America. His top there's a
lot of symbolism here. You're gonna have.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
David Blaine cut him in half. Like what are we
talking about? How about David Spade? Better David to send
its David Spade send him over there. He'd be kind
of like sardonic and rude, but in a funny way.
You are they representing us or are we just casting
someone off like they do in South Park? That the
Canadians in South Park they don't like somebody, They just
like put him on an ice, a thing of ice
(29:35):
that just cast him out to sea. Like that's is
that what we're doing here? You know what we're giving
Denmark our dregs.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
That's not a bad idea. England did that with Australia,
and look how good it worked out for Australia. Now
they got a whole bunch of buck wild fun people
down there. Who are I mean, you could make the
argument giant spiders. But you could make the argument though,
that England did with every like they were colonizing, but
they didn't send their best people to colonize. Yeah, there
(30:02):
were a few people that were pretty high ranking in
their society. But the way that the constructive society was
is if you were a dreg, you were most likely,
especially if you were single, just to get shipped off
to one of these places and said, hey, you want
some adventure, We'll give you a bit of money, but
just never come back. I mean, that's what happened.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
But in turn, these are the people that founded America,
these are the people that founded South Africa. Well they
didn't found but like you know, they colonized Canada. As
in that conversation, Australia is a great example of sending
people who were really low on the totem poll. I mean, so,
I mean that whole Kingdom, right, they colonized so many
(30:42):
places with mostly the worst of their society.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
According to that. Have you seen Game of Thrones? I
very in and out it's too much for Amory. I
totally agree. By the way, I totally agree it was
too much for me too. There was a certain scene
in a couple of seasons in that was just so
graphic and disgusting, like I can't do this anymore. But
I bring that up to say, send people to Greenland
(31:06):
at your own peril because winter is coming. If you
know what I mean, M nice, that is a good pull.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
I think a lot of people who even no don't
know anything about Game of Thrones may have been familiar
with the Winter is coming line.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Yeah. Basically, what I'm saying is is a bunch of
frozen over people who are really ticked off were probably
gonna make their way back to America and cause a
bit of a ruckus.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Yeah, and that's very possible. What's the population of Greenland?
Let me check real quick. What's the population of Greenland?
Fifty six thousand people? Fifty six thousand people. There are
more people in Lincoln, Nebraska than there are that entire
giant island, the largest island in the on planet Earth.
But this thing, anyway, make a long story short, is
(31:52):
there's an axis of like Russia and North Korea and
even China that are trying to, you know, kind of
get a presence in the Northern Circle, the Arctic Circle,
and Trump is trying to acquire as much of or
get people on the same page to help prevent that
from actually permeating and happening. We'll have more on the
way on news radio eleven to ten kfab
