Lays a golden egg every day for this farmer, right?
Yeah, and he thought he'd get the shortcut and kill the goose open it up and get all the eggs out Yeah, not a smart farmer.
No So he killed the golden goose is the line, right?
So this is kind of what Trump has done Trump essentially told all his fans
They had to blow up this liberal order of economics, because it was the only way to secure the very benefits of that liberal order, if you're following me.
Okay.
Which we already had.
We already had that, but he's got to blow it up again in order to bring it back or... God, I don't know.
He fabricated outrage over being tinkered advantage of.
Right?
And the US was taken advantage of by all these countries.
So that made his base very angry and upset and they believed that maybe we should blow everything up and that's how all of this started.
I mean, these are the people that say that they're entitled to all of these things yet they criticize anybody
who thinks are entitled to all of these things.
So anyway, it's a little diversion tactic.
This was an interesting line, too.
I found this author, Robert Heimlin, wrote this, you can sway a thousand men by appealing to their prejudices quicker than you can to convince one man by logic.
Good thing.
Keep
in
Let me try to get through this, okay?
So he blew up the liberal order of economics, okay, throughout the entire globe.
So America needs Greenland as a strategic positioning ground from which to restrain Russia and China in the Arctic, right?
But we already enjoy that.
We already have that.
And we can go up there and even secure.
Greenland with more military in order to make sure it doesn't happen, but it we've already have this But he's blowing it up anyway.
Okay to ensure America gets an advantageous position in the international trade He's also blown it up for that America already has such an advantage an orderly world economic system that has lavished previously unimaginable prosperity on America and to the entire globe
with us at the head of the table, the US currency.
I mean, we are the, we're the nation that everybody looks up to, right?
Yeah,
Okay, let's go on.
Ownership, he told the New York Times is, what I feel is psychologically needed for success, ownership of Greenland.
I think that ownership gives you a thing that,
You can't do whether you're talking about a lease or treaty.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
So what about future presidents, by the way?
that don't have that emotional crutch, who have to have ownership psychologically speaking, you know?
There's just a lot of craziness here,
and a
You know everybody
We were we were the big guy on the block We're the economic power of the entire globe and Yeah, and now everybody's gonna shift over and change that yeah, yeah, and again, this is the world order This is that thing you can't take back that we heard another go back.
Yeah more of our allies are giving up on one of America's prior geopolitical aims decoupling from China
Canada dropped some of its trade barriers with China.
French President Emmanuel Macron spoke with his desire to see more Chinese economic investment in Europe.
So we're watching the old U.S.-led order fall apart in real time before our very eyes.
That's exactly what happened yesterday.
Just unbelievable.
Now, where are the people that really like Trump?
We're the ones who said, this is what we voted for.
Right?
Everything is falling apart.
We are no longer the center of the universe, which we were before and everybody needed us.
And now we're not anymore.
Everybody's going to avoid us.
Yeah.
Well,
Yeah.
No problem, guys.
You're working hard back there with the crickets.
It's hard to manage crickets when you want them to talk.
Here's, you know, this is something I guess everybody's kind of wondering about.
The Minnesota Federal Magistrate Judge refused to sign a complaint charging
independent journalist Don Lemon in connection with a protest inside a church in St.
Paul on Sunday.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay.
That's right.
I mean, isn't it crazy?
It's a felony, I guess, or something.
I don't know, misdemeanor.
Multiple sources are familiar saying that that is what the magistrate or judge had determined.
That's just forget it.
Bondi is enraged by this, by the way, according to the Justice Department.
Really?
Yeah.
She's been there.
She's been there for two days.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh,
don't
is
Hi.
Well, I have a suggestion.
Maybe they could try for Trump.
He's so interested in Iceland and a little bit of ice.
Why don't they find an iceberg floating around up there and just put a sign on there that says not for sale.
Not even for a billion bucks.
And then you'll just have to have that piece.
And then somebody can just sell it to him and put him on that iceberg.
Let him float
A
Okay.
Yeah.
People are going out now to join eyes.
Realizing they have some inadequacies.
All right.
I want to get to something here.
This is a reaction to Stephen Miller's line on Greenland.
You gotta hear this.
This is Danish parliamentarian Rasmus Jarlov, and he's reacting to Stephen Miller.
It's all contained in this clip.
It's 307.
Let's listen to it.
You're

Now, you gotta keep in mind, this is before the world called him out.
And he chickened, and he backed up on all the threats that he had given.
But this is before this.
They're a little more confident, you know, and more assured.
Let's listen to it.
Sort of.
Sort of.
You know, I could go either way.
Sort of.
Sort of one.
What?
Oh, God.
Okay.
Now, here is a podcaster, a megacultist, a self-proclaimed constitution coach.
His name is Rick Green, and he had this message to the megacult about insurrections.
Okay.
Not quite.
Kind of stretching to make a point there.
Interaction seems to like a, you know, it's a little more dramatic.
It's somebody not performing the law, you know, it just seems kind of strange.
And of course, they're always trying to come up with an excuse to excuse the actual insurrection on January 6th
for some
I don't know.
Look, there's guys.
Yeah, we saw what happened.
They're pardoned already, you know, just give us a break.
We're all very frustrated at that pardon, okay?
Right.
Now they want to blame everything.
Lawbreaking is an insurrection.
They've done this at least the last year and a half or so.
So anyway, I just thought that was kind of bizarre
to
Yeah, probably a lot.
Two people were arrested over the anti-ice protest at the Minnesota church.
Two people who the attorney general identified as Nakima Levy Armstrong and Chantel Louisa Allen were taken into custody.
Trained professionals, I don't know, they were called trained professionals.
Trump called them trained professionals.
So I'm thinking to myself, God, really, these are trained professionals.
Actually, they're both black, and this is a church.
And like I mentioned yesterday, why aren't the families of children that cry in church also taken into custody for at least interrupting the service?
That's where I'm at on this.
I think I've got to be equal with everybody here.
This is the kind of
So anyway, that's the latest on that.
I thought this was really great.
Hundreds of millionaires and billionaires signed a letter demanding high
on the super rich.
And we played a cut the other day.
Remember that the guy was at Davos and he mentioned, he said, we're not talking about taxes, increasing taxes on wealthy people.
We're talking about philanthropism.
You know, with Philanthropy.
There
A few different versions of it.
For anybody who says it the other way.
I was afraid we needed Julian there for us.
We needed Julian.
We may have been a brain freeze.
Okay, anyway, global oligarchs have accelerated the breakdown of our planet, according to them.
The richest 1%
own more than 95% of the rest of the world's population combined.
A handful of global oligarchs have bought up our democracies, taken over our governments, gagged the freedom of our media, placed a stranglehold on technology and innovation, you know, with the high cost now of graphics cards and RAM, using them for the data, data centers, deepening poverty and social exclusion and accelerated the breakdown of our planet.
That's part of the letter that they all signed hoping that somewhere along the way we would start taxing the millionaires and billionaires again to solve our problems.
We had a story about that.
If you took away all of the George W tax cuts and all of the other tax cuts that were put in place after that, the Trump tax cuts, we would be on a level playing field.
We'd be able to pay for everything.
It's a simple solution if we just take all that stuff back.
And the rich people would still be rich.
Right.
And we would still have the same taxes we always had.
In fact, we hardly pay any taxes and federal taxes, in any way, because we know those kind of incomes.
Yeah.
This is really, you know...
Serving the billionaires and millionaires mm-hmm.
We should definitely do something about that Coming up after
Happy
That's right.
Or stream it online, civicmedia.us slash Max Inc radio.

Lord Fifth Friday, January 23rd.
It's at the Roxy.
That's just off State Street.
A couple blocks here from our studio guys.
Lord Fifth is a unique blend of Americana and they call that Midwestern soul and the music dress from charged renditions of timeless classics to soulful originals that keep crowds happy and singing and dancing all night.
They're a lot of fun.
I thought I'd bring in kind of a throwback for the Lord Fifth.

Great stuff.
Recorded over to Megaton Studios with Paul Schluter.
That's pretty good.
Hey, you guys know Steely Dane, right?
Well, I'll just tell you about their shows.
