English transcript

Greenland is a vast, almost entirely uninhabited

and undeveloped territory. It's sitting undefended

in a key strategic location... ...between the

United States, Russia, and China. That's exactly

where it is, right smack in the middle. Wasn't

important, nearly, when we gave it back, you

know... ...when we gave it back, it wasn't the

same as it is now. It's not important for any

other reason, you know, to... ...everyone talks

about the minerals, there's so many pla... there's

no rare earth. No such thing as rare earth.

There's rare processing. But there's so much

rare earth, and this... to get to this rare

earth... ...you gotta go through hundreds of

feet of ice. That's not the reason we need it.

We need it for... ...strategic national security

and international security. And this is why

it matters, because people say, "Oh, imperialism."

We gave Greenland back, right?

Uh, to Denmark after the war. Denmark pledged

224 million dollars, for example, in 2019, I

believe, to defend Greenland. Uh, they've spent

2.2 million. One percent. Jeez. So when we say,

"All right, look, look, you called us in to

defend you." "We did it. Okay, all right, we're

giving this back to you." "Hey guys, though,

but this does kind of matter... like, this does

kind of matter to us now." "We're not asking

you to come in and fight a... fight a war for

us." "We're not asking you to actually protect

our country, protect our territory..." "...but

we are asking you to... to put in your fair

share..." "...to make sure that it's secured

if we can't do it." "Yes, okay, we agree, all

right, we understand, that's common sense."

Less than one percent. Where else does that

happen without consequences?

And now it's imperialist to say, "You have to

honor your agreement"?

How about this?

This is what we should start doing. Writing

up... okay... 224 million plus interest... That's

your portion of the debt. You now own that debt

from the United States. We had to spend the

money 'cause you didn't. And so their posture

right now is, "No, no, keep... keep spending

the money..." "...keep... we'll keep it safe

and we'll continue to... to fleece you..." "...and

not do it while we give everyone maternity,

paternity leave and... and socialized healthcare..."

"...but, uh, yeah, that's... that's better for

us." "We keep it... we don't spend the money

and... and you protect it." No. No. How about

that?
