0:00 Are you ready? Yeah, Okay, let's do an Ill Martinez Live a program about current events, our culture, our values, our politics, and our future. And now Bill Martinez. Hey, glad you can join us. Bill Martinez here six minutes after the top of the hour, and we've got Ryan Morrow, our old friend. It's been a while, but it's always good to have him here as the counter terrorism expert. He's going to break it all down. He's also the director of the Moro Institute, by the way, which is new. Congratulations on setting that up, because Ryan, you know, we have been you know, I guess, deprived of the truth, the whole truth and nothing. But when it comes to terrorism and domestic terrorism that's happening within the boundaries of the United States, that's right.

0:49 And so that's why I said the Moro Institute, which is a nonprofit to kind of act as the umbrella for all of the research and activism type of self that I do and that I've talked with you for years about, really come to the forefront lately with what I think most experts would agree now at least is the nucleus of an insurgency, If not actually an insurgency. It would appear that Minnesota is up to their Shenanigans again, and they happen to be. It appears to me, just from my observation, you would know better. It seems to be ground zero for this craziness. It is right now. But the thing is wherever these groups coagulate it and they cool as the one spot, this can really happen in your neighborhood.

1:35 It can happen pretty much anywhere. Minnesota just has a lot of those variables and a lot of capacity for it to happen. But if there were to be a controversial shooting, particularly that the radical nonprofits can fundraise off of in Alabama, they'll turn that into the new hotspot. So it really happened anywhere. But this is just an ideal spot for them organizationally. But making no mistake about it, the average protest and the people posting on social media, although they may not be radical. The people that are organizing this activity often calling it intelligence gathering, using intelligence CIA type militia type, military type language to everything that they're doing. They usually connect back to an anarchist or anarcho communist group, and the reason they use that.

2:22 Language isn't just to create drama. It's because their ideology is fundamentally militant, and so one of the group's Minnesota ice watch I looked at and I debuted this with Glenn Beck. This information when I looked at their social media postings very clear that they support a Marxist revolution in the United States. They go around saying they're setting up in different neighborhoods community defense centers, and when you ask what they do, they say, oh, well, we just document things. We do the things with the whistles to alert people. And they say that. But the problem is when you go to their social. Media posts about how to do this, the first thing you see is a depiction of a. Cop car in flames.

3:03 Okay, so the stuff that's right in front of all the cameras, there's a more nefarious objective behind it. If you have cop cars and flames connected to your supposedly innocuous language. So who's behind them? Ryan? You know, where when is the source? I mean, we've heard sorrows, we've heard CCP, we've heard even the Russians involved Iran, But what core is behind this than is funding them? So it's not as simple as being able to say that there's specific hidden hands orchestrating all of it, and that's what makes it so complex. But if I were to boil it all down, here's how I kind of do.

3:46 I say, there's the global seditionist movement. What is it that unites all of these differing ideologies and hostile governments. It's a belief that the US is basically a fundamentally unjust or illegitimate state with an unjustice and that needs to be overthrown, and so sedition is their ideology, but also what they do. So I call it the global seditionist movement. It really does stem from hostile governments overseas that are influencing US on social media with bots, social media manipulation, their foreign policy strategies, their COVID influence operations. Doing all of this type of stuff is what builds that ecosystem and builds for things like communism, because that's not a homegrown American thing that comes from overseas. It has to be funded and built. And what then extends from that, That's where the radical nonprofits come in. That's when Soros and people like that come in. So to me, I still view this as part of a global struggle with foreign groups and foreign governments and access of sedition I sometimes call it. And then within the United States we sometimes get hung up on, well, who's pulling the strings within the United States. To me, it's actually more about who's pulling the strings outside of the United States and building that complex web within the US. And you can tie that back ideologically or materially to governments like that of China of Russia, Iran.

5:12 Every bad actor cut her. Well, as you've reported before, and I agreed with you. Then is that the tentacles all seem to always go into the back pocket of political operatives. I mean you've got people, I mean like elin Omar. She comes into office, maybe lucky to put a couple of dimes together. Now six years later she's worth thirty million dollars. How does that happen on a salary of one hundred and seventy a year roughly. Minor setting? Is that? I guess her husband is super rich. There's some family things going in there, but yes, there's in the political industrial complex, there are many ways you can make money. I mean, if you have a private conversation with some of these political consultants who only work during election years and they vacation the other years. I mean the amount of money that they're able to sometimes basically con out of campaigns for advice on how to advertise and things like that is outrageous. So that yeah, I mean, this is an industry on the political level, like with the Neil Hall nomar. But then there's a lot of money to be made as consultancy campaigns. And then there's a lot of money to be made in the nonprofit industry. Someone once said to me there is no profit like nonprofit, and that is especially true in the radical political nonprofit world where if you look at virtually any group since October seventh, their revenue has skyrocketed.

6:39 You look at their salaries, big skyrocketed. They hired new people, so they make money off of this while they condemn capitalism as a business model to profit under capitalism. Go figure right, and you have United Nations unrun compromise, You get USAID other groups. You know that Elon Musk and the Doge group had exposed and to me it was just a tip of the iceberg. So all these nefarious groups are all enjoined with these anti American groups that are undermining US. I mean, you know, the job that the Trump administration has taken on is just incredible.

7:23 Of course, you see this and you see all the all the moving pieces that are involved here, and you go, how can we the people as an entity and as a force come alongside and help the cause here? Because this corruption has permeated the interior of our country and every aspect everything has become an industrialized complex, hasn't. Yeah, that that is true. I think that tends to happen over time, as anything with the bureaucracy bills, you get profit years in there, and then their buddies want a profit, and then it just kind of grows and grows and it becomes as of its own. But what can the average person. Do if you enjoy reading and doing research. There's an unlimited number of facts out there as impossible for any of our researchers' brains to comprehend all of it. So don't underestimate the power of doing your own research, especially if you can write a brief. If you really get into something and you make a note sheheet and you send it to me or someone else like that, that's very useful.

8:22 People don't understand that. There's been plenty of times people have done that for me and I've brought it to FBI atf local police, and I've had people arrested like that happens a lot. Yeah, well, look look what happened in Minneapolis. You know, you've got this young YouTuber, this you know, influencer, and he gets connected with somebody locally to your point who's been doing all this research for years, right, and he says, hey, Nick, come on in, look what I got here. Oh, it's the best example of it. I mean, it's the best example of recent memory of it because look at what resulted from that. And what do you do is just you had to have someone like that young man who had the time dedication to.

9:03 Go into it. And it's perfectly reasonable that people have families, and I mean he's young, right, so middle aged people may don't have the time. You don't have the time, But if you enjoy this researching and stuff, understand that that there's value in that. If you're able to donate a little bit, not just to my nonprofit, but but wherever, you know, do something that hurts yourself a little bit. If you claim to care about a cause, you should hurt a little bit for it, sacrifice a little for it. But even even an introduction. Maybe you know someone that can be that can influence something like a congressman, or someone works in a in a policy office, or you know someone that is a philanthropist or whatever. Don't underestimate the power of While you're waiting for your dinner to arrive at a restaurant and you're scrolling through your contacts on your phone, most people know someone.

14:31 Welcome back Bill Martinez here with Ryan Morrow. He's a director of the Morrow Institute, counter terrorism expert, and he's here breaking it all down and you know, pulling back the shroud that has been so well established. Ryan. You know they've hidden under all these NGOs and these ill intented, ill intent operatives and ill intent and as much as they want the destruction of America, that's clear, right, I. Mean, they say it in their own words. That's that's what so funny about I think what gets cloudy is that people will take a comment from a conventional politician who they don't like that will reflect them of the radical language of the radicals and assume it's coming from the same place. But really what happens is that the extremists radicalize certain language, globalize the Intafana, things like that, and then politicians who don't know any better and want to kiss the behinds of the audience of that's either criticizing them or praising them, and so then they dot that language without realizing, oh, where'd that come from?

15:33 That's actually an anarchist chant. Yes, you know, I would just advise every politician. I say, just stay away from militant language. Overall all this stuff where you say we need to fight back and confrontation and all this stuff right and left, like that's dangerous when you characterize everything as being white supremacists or Nazi or even falsely saying something someone's part of a communist plot or a terrorist like that, Like that hyperbole is damaging and so you have so someone that gets messed with. But underneath it, because there's. So many false accusations going back and forth, people don't believe you when you say, well, if you look at who's actually making these issues come to the front. I mean, those are nonprofit political groups. They decide what the news covers because they bring the views, they create the controversy, and so that don't assume that the news you're being told is what should be your priority.

16:26 Is the news that's most important to you. Certainly don't expect it to be objective, but. Understand that the moments are created and if you look at the groups that are creating those moments, more often than. Not they tend to be pretty radical. And so some of the anti American ones, like the Minnesota Ice Watch I looked into, openly talking about being part of a global seditionist movement taking on the United States, and they refer to the US as Turtle Island. Now, what's Turtle Island? It's basically it comes from an idea that some Native American tribes, they don't think all of them refer to North American Central America as Turtle Island before the evil white man settlers arrived. And so they're taking a queue from the Palestinian playbook where they say, well, we can't call it Israel, we call it so called Israel design the state because it's really Palestine, and they apply that to the US. So they'll say, oh, we're fight for the liberation of Turtle Island.

17:22 What does someone who knows what that means. Understand that to be it's a call for destroying the United States. Right exactly. Yeah. And what they do is they just kind of they're they're tilling the soil, you know, with words and conditioning us to accept those words, like you said, the global into thought of things. And these you got these young kids going to college to you know, hopefully enlarge their mental capacity and intelligence, and then they come out and they get with group think and they start saying crazy things that even you know, with some people, it's like, look at do you realize your lifestyle is such that your life would be measured in seconds if you were in you know, in the Gaza or if you were in some of these areas. It's like, I think they had a group of people go to go to Egypt, for example, and they got totally you know, befuddled and blown away because they go, well, wait a minute, you know, they expect to be treated like they were in America. They go, hey, this in America, you know, this is Egypt. And they were getting ready to you know, lock them up, you know, because they were being idiots, and you know, and these guys are just shaking their heads because these kids don't know. But it goes back to what we've insisted on continuously on this show. Ryan, I've always said people, you've got to own your own knowledge, don't just take our word from it. Yes, we bring experts like yourself on that have done deep down and you you know, you probably will forget more than we'll ever learn, God bless you. But still we need to do the research ourselves to say, Okay, Ryan led me in this direction, Okay, let me let me check this

18:55 out for myself so that if I echo it, there's veritas, there's depth to what I'm saying, as opposed to some eight second SoundBite that I happen to pick up incidentally on CNN or something. Right. Yeah, that's right, And don't you know dismiss the value of your own communication style too. So so, even if you take information that Bill Martinez provis or Ryan Morrow provides, the way you speak to your own audience, your friends, your social media post, the way you talk sometimes connects with people differently, you know. So I might have a more academic tone, someone might have a more dramatic tone, someone might have a more relaxed They speak in one or two sentences, and that works for some people. So everyone has this kind of unique ability to present the same information to people. And something's work with some people, and some things work with other people.

19:41 And there's no right or wrong to it you. So don't think you have to be oh, I have to be more sophisticated in this person or talk you know, less sophisticated or whatever. It's like. No, just being yourself means you have a unique ability that none of us can copy to influence other people and make a difference. Only you can do that. There's only one of you that's ever existed, will. Exist, right exactly. Yes, that's that's some great advice. Focusing on Minnesota right now as an example of these other sanctuary states. Uh, you know, my mind is exploding because I think, wait a minute, how how can we have an existence of a system that is counter our constitution?

20:22 I mean, we're harboring criminals all in the name of being a sanctuary state or a sanctuary city. How can that be justified? Ryan that part? I don't know how that can be justified. I have seen it. I'm not a constitutional scholar. I see. I have some of my. Libertarian and conservative friends that are criticizing some of what's going on with ICE and saying that that they feel that some of that's unconstitutional, with search and seizure. And things like that. And you see, there can be a reasonable argument in that nuance, and that's where it should take place. And you have Republicans and Democrats doing that. But there's a difference between that and then what ICE Watch and some of these other groups are doing when they show up and they say, no, our problem is your existence. You want to abolish the Department of Homeland Security and ICE and police and all that.

21:09 We want to overthrow the system. And then you realize, because people will make the point where don't these people realize that it hurts their political cause when they blockade streets and light. Fires and things like that. They're not trying to score political points. They don't not talking about winning within the system. They want to overthrow the system. They're not thinking like the rest of us. Yeah, they don't care if you get hurt. In fact, they want you to get hurt because that helps their cause and gives the headline. And then you know, now we're doing we're reproducing and repeating what we did earlier, you know before with George Floyd it was defund police. Well, how did that work for you? Now we're going to defund ice at a moment in time when we have millions of illegal immigrants and God only knows how many of them. I mean, we know a good number have murdered people, They've been drug running, human trafficking, go down the list. They're not just you know your friend next door that comes over and does your lune once in a while, right.

22:09 Right, that? Yeah, that one is the one that I will. I usually bend over backwards, try to understand everyone's point of view, the point of view that says but the point of view that says, all right, so you're here illegally, but then you harm someone else and we shouldn't deport you is unfathomable to me. That's not even something I can have a discourse about. The Only time I've ever seen someone have any type of semi coherent worldview associated with that are the people that say there shouldn't be any borders, the US shouldn't exist because it's stolen land, and everyone should have a right to live. Anywhere in the world that they want and not be kicked out. And that's why I say semi coherent most people don't even have a worldview developed to that point. They just say, oh, well, we shouldn't be deporting people. And you raise the issue of well, some of those people you know are murderers and stuff, and they say, we'll put them through the criminal justice system. Well, like this kind of is the criminal justice system. You get thrown out of my home if you come in and harm harmony. Not only did you ually enter it. I'm nice enough to allow you to be there, and I want you to be happy and do well, and I don't wish you harm, but you start harming other people, murder, assault, even driving, you know, any any of that. It is the most offensive thing to me I can think of, like as an American right.

23:31 And then and then on top of that, you get these political figures the governor, the mayor, and the attorney general that is blocking even local officials law enforcement. Ryan, you know, I mean the men of blue are the men in blue? I mean they bleed law enforcement. It's their ethos. And and I feel for the you know, the head of law enforcement there in Minnesota. You can see he's conflicted because he's got to follow things that's against his very nature to do. I mean they got him handcuffed. Yeah. And what these what these radical groups are doing, which most of which support Hamas. By the way, when you look at it, to. Me, I feel like, if you have a noble cause, then the groups that are part of your cause probably shouldn't like Hamas.

24:15 But these tend to tend to like Hamas. Ye. But what they're really egging on is the idea of Minnesota the local police coming in and arresting ICE and federal law enforcement, having you know, National Guard come in and even maybe even having them fight out with other with Ice and others. And the reason they're going in that direction they're really egging that. One on is because they want a civil war. Oh of course chaos. They're not talking about workout in agreement or or some legal solution to it. It's no, no, they're jumping right to. You know, what we should do, Let's pressure the governor of Minnesota to have local police going essentially getting a shootout.

24:56 With Could you imagine that'd be insane? Kind of Jeanette and that bothers me so much. I love it. I you well, we got to leave it there.

Good to have you with us. Phill Martinez here I'll along with Jenny Beth Martin from the Tea Party Patriots Action. Jenny Beth, good morning to you.

29:05 Good morning is STI going to be with Dville. Well, always good to have you here with us. So, hey, let's talk Minnesota. A lot of heat on Minnesota, particularly Christy Nome and you know, maybe some of the language that she had used, you know, I think the challenge that she's been in the middle of, I mean, it's amazing how she's been able to perform in the midst of the lack of support, certainly there in Minnesota, you know, fighting against the governor, local officials, the mayor, the attorney general and all and Meanwhile, her men in ice, men and women in ice are being attacked at measures we've never seen before.

29:48 Yeah, they are being attacked in ways we've never seen before. The protesters, rioters, whatever word we want to use to describe these people are impeding law enforcement, and they're interfering with law enforcement. And under normal circumstances, Americans would look at that and go, that is not allowed. You're not allowed to interfere with police who are actively doing their job, and we would be appalled by it. But for some reason right now, the people who have trumped arrangement syndrome think that this is allowable behavior, and it is simply not allowable and it's wrong, and we've got to get a handle on it.

30:32 Well, without a doubt, we saw what happened with George Floyd in same hotspot right there, So there's some consistency. There are billions of dollars in damage, all ignited because emotions were allowed to get out of hand, lawlessness reigned raged and then out of it. Remember, we had to deal with defunding police. Now it's not defunding police, let's defund ice. When there seems to be a very simple solution because in other liberal cities where sanctuary cities exist, the difference has been is there's been local cooperation and these problems are resolved in less than a month. Well, they're resolved in less than a month. And here's some big difference. In let's say Louisiana. When ICE and Border Patrol in the Department of Homeland Security come in, the people who are being arrested locally for crimes who should be deported are not being released back onto the street.

31:33 They are being released into ICE custody. When that happens, then the deportation process can begin. But in these so called sanctuary cities like Minneapolis, instead of releasing them to ICE custody, they're releasing them back onto the streets, so ICE in has to go and track them down inside of the city. They know they're there, they know they've been convicted of a crime. Now they have to be they have to find them so that they can deport whoever it might be. And that's where the real strain is coming from, because the so called sanctuary cities are not cooperating with the federal government, and yet the federal government has supremacy when it comes to these issues. In each state is supposed to cooperate and follow the law.

32:26 And the governor of Minnesota and the Mayor of Minneapolis simply are not acting in a constitutional manner, even though they swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. Well, it's sedition on its face. The thing I look at. I mean, even some of these congressmen they're upset about, you know, Christy Nolman. They want to impeached, and YadA, YadA, the whole deal. I say, I want to impeach Congress because you knew this problem exists, and you're letting the DHS Secretary and Ice go in and deal with something that should have been handled on the federal level. There should be there should be no doubt whatsoever of what the objective is, and that is, we want to remove illegal immigrants who have committed crimes. And some of these crimes, what seventy percent of them have been involved with heinous crimes, from murder to rape, child trafficking, drug running, you know, go down the nefarious list. And yet it seems that you know, congressmen and women want to want to choose lawlessness over law and order.

33:35 Yes, that is exactly right, and we cannot allow that to continue, and I guess that we're going to see when Tom Holman gus in if he is able to get a better read on the situation and find a better solution than what has been happening. We heard last night that Bovino is out along with several other Ice agent. I question whether that's the best thing to do or not, because it seems to me then you're rewarding the lawlessness at the time. These are our fellow Americans. Most of the people who are showing up are not insurgents. They're they're protesters. They're well meaning but misguided, and that's they're getting in the way and blocking traffic and doing some other things that are are unlawful. But I don't know that most of the people who are showing up are actually violent. I think that as a smaller subset the audience, well, it.

34:36 Doesn't it doesn't take. It doesn't take a whole lot of people. As you know, Jenny Beth, I mean being involved with Tea Party patriots, and you saw what happened on the ground for many years when you were leading, you know, leading the campaign and the charge for you know, smaller government, accountability and all those things, and you had a rowdy people, but now it's like they've been much more sophisticated. There are you know, I mean these you look at the way these people are dressed. I mean it's not like they're just you know, going to the garage and you know, getting some equipment. I mean, they come in they're very well outfitted. So it demonstrates that there is money behind. We've had experts talking about that in that includes people outside of the country. You've got Iranian technicals, Middle East technical tentacles that are involved here, the CCP in large measure. Uh, you know, George Soros, the typical players are are involved in orchestrating a lot of this. But you know, going back to your earlier point about Baveno and some of the other ICE officials being you know, moved out, I think it's an opportunity to kind of all right, let's let's tone it down a little bit. Let Homan come in. Homan is a law enforcement, law enforcement guy, you know, and so he might be able to reason with them. But to me, you know, in the same manner as Trump arrangements syndrome exists, they have sanctuary city derangement syndrome. And you're dealing with a philosophy and a mindset that's untenable. I mean, to

36:08 hear the way the governor talks, the way the mayor talks, Keith Ellison, the Attorney General of Minnesota. I mean, it's like this is their Raisin Dazure. You know. Yeah, you're right about You're exactly right about that bill and what it was going to see. I don't know. I worry because it seems like it might be rewarding lawlessness at the time. These are our fellow Americans that are out on the streets. By and large. I understand the fact that they may be influenced by foreigners, but most of what I'm seeing online are American. They appear to be American citizens. We have to have the federal government respond in a way that doesn't up up it and create an even worse situation, because we don't want to see civil war. We want to see the situation resolve. We want it to be resolved in a peaceful manner. And I actually think that that is what President Trump is trying to accomplish right now, and he's trying to do so in a way that respects the fact that he's respecting the Constitution, respecting the fact that it's Americans, but also saying you can't be lawless, you can't get in the way of an official police and law enforcement operations, and you've got to get out of the way of that. And I hope and I feel more confident with Holman being in there because he's such just.

37:34 A law and order guy. He's a no nonsense guy, and he's going to get in there and try to solve the problem. And he's also an amazing communicator, so he can go see what's happening, then go out and tell the American people first him what he has seen happening. Yeah, I think I think you're right on that. And sometimes you need, you know, take a break, need to take a break, get a breath of fresh air here, and hopefully, you know, Tom Holman can do that. As you say, I'm concerned like you are, because these are citizens here in Minnesota now I believe they're being misguided. I think Governor Waltz is amping up the problem, exacerbating the problem along with Fry and as I mentioned, Attorney General Keith Ellison and thing that we need to keep in mind as American citizens, we believe in the Constitution.

38:22 We need to follow the Constitution, and on its face, I mean the tough thing to begin with, sanctuary cities are not accommodated in the Constitution. I believe that sanctuary cities are in anathema to our US Constitution. Yeah, I think that you're exactly right. They are. You have to follow the federal law. And if you're not following the federal law, and federal law is not supreme law of the land, then we're no longer operating in the constitutional republic that we have, So that must also be addressed. These They can't just pick and choose which laws they want to abide by and bill. One other thing about Governor Waltz, it benefits him for the discussion to be about the protests and the rioting and not to be on the alleged fraud that he is alleged to have committed. So he's keeping everyone genned up. He's not trying to solve the problem on the streets of Minnesota right now, and I think he's doing it out of self interest to protect himself because of what may be exposed from the alleged fraud.

39:30 I think you're right, it's a bit of the tail shaking the dog here, right, I think that. That is exactly right, and so we need to in all of our discussions. I think we have to just keep coming back to the fact that this is happening on the streets of Minnesota must be dealt with, and the fraud must also be dealt with, and if Tim Waltz was actually engaged in that, he must be held accountable.

Hey, glad you could be with us fourteen minutes before the top of the hour. Right now, we've got Jeremy Beck joining us now. He is the co president of Numbers at USA. Jeremy, Good morning, morning, Bill. Hey, the weather's still frightful.

44:21 Huh. Yeah, we got some shoveling to do. But that's that's what old backs and young legs are for. Thank god for teenagers exactly. I know. Well, the good news is when they're shoveling, they're out of trouble. Right, absolutely know, it's great. Get them outside, get the vitamin D, and get a little work done. Well, you got it. Well, stay safe out there, my friend. Thank you. Well. The United States you're reporting has experienced negative net migration in twenty twenty five. When was the last time we had net negative migration? You know, I don't know the answer to that question. It was a It had to be a long time ago. You might have to go back to the mid twentieth century, is my guess.

45:03 And this is one of these cases, Bill, where I have to say. And I'm willing to say it, that the media was right and I was wrong. When Trump came into office, there were some sort of apocalyptic stories about, oh, you know, he's going to crack down on immigration and we'll we'll we'll actually lose, you know, we'll have less net Negative migration means that more migrants leave the country than come into the country in the year. And I didn't think that was going to happen because I thought, you know, it's going to be really hard. We issue over a million green cards every single year. So to get negative net migration, you've got to get more than a million people leaving the country to offset just the legal immigration, and then you add an illegal immigration. Well, the fact is is the Trump administration has basically stopped the illegal immigration at the border, and they have been incredibly successful at getting people who are not supposed to be in the country to leave. Now we all know, and the deportations are very much in the news. We all know that the true administration came close to setting a new record for interior enforcement maybe they did. The estimates vary, but came very close to the Obama era record the first year under Obama about two hundred and forty thousand deportations.

46:14 But in addition to that, this is something to Obama nobody else has ever done. The Trump administration has convinced maybe over a million people to self deport to leave on their own. You add up all those numbers and you get negative net migration. Now, this is this is where the media got it right, but where they got it wrong. This is not apocalyptic. This is not some sort of like, oh, we're falling off. A population cliff. Not at all, and this is a temporary phenomenon. Right now, it makes total sense. I'm sure your listeners can wrap their minds around the concept that if you have a historic wave of illegal immigration and then you enforce the law, you're going to have a historic wave of out migration. Right That's it kind of makes sense. It's not really rocket science. The only thing that I wasn't convinced of was that the Trump administration would be as successful as it has been.

47:02 So that has been a surprise, but frankly it's been a welcome one. Well, Jeremy, I was double checking here and this says it's the lowest it's the first time in over fifty years we've had net migration, So to your point, you were roughly there. So that's you know, again, this is representative of the Trump administration. There's so many things that Trump is doing. It's like the first time in decades. And so here's another situation where common sense policies and governance and leadership has been leading to something so exceptional, especially when we really need it. And so, yes, and you're exactly right. You've got people self migrating, and the Trump administration, I think christ you Nome announced that I think they uped the ANNE a little bit. I mean, they're going to give you now it is like a thousand, now it's up to twenty five hundred or something. That they're incentivizing your one way trip out of the United States.

47:59 They're encouraged people. To make their own plans and leave on their own, which is by far the most effective and efficient way. And if you're going to scale self deportations or out migration at any kind of really significant level, that's what you're. Going to have to have. You simply, you simply cannot arrest, detain, and deport enough people to offset the wave of illegal immigration that we had during the Biden years. And so it really is a two hander here where first of all, let's not forget the incredibly successful border changes that we've seen canceled all of the Biden era parole programs, which were probably unconstitutional these are all the programs where the Biden administration basically said you're inadmissible to come into the country. But we're going to admit you anyway. Those are gone, right, That's that's.

48:43 One of the magnets that you've turned off. But there's still other magnets that are still in play that you and I have been talking about for what for months now. Yeah, that's right, I mean, and the chief one is it's still very it's still relatively easy to get illegal work in the country. And you know, if you don't if you don't turn that off off, there's going to be a lot of people who were going to say, look, I even with all of the news of the ice raids and people coming down getting chased down the street. I'm making money and I'm going to stay. But if you take away that money, if you make it that much harder to make money illegally in this country, then there really is what is the economic benefit of staying here? And let's remind ourselves that. Is the main reason most people are in the country illegally.

49:24 They want to make money. It's not a moral failing. But we have to have laws and we have to have limits. And if you want to re establish that credibility of our system, you've got to take away that incentive for people to stay. Well, what the Biden administration did, and even you know, the Obama administration before you talk about it, by the way, just as a sidebar, you talk about the numbers, we're not dealing with true comparative numbers, which is typical in dealing with anything with Obama. They smoke the numbers. They've messed around and manipulated them time and time. I mean, I remember in the days when they would talk about employment numbers right the following month, I just said, why don't you guys just from now on just put an asterix on that number, because I think in all the reports, maybe there was only one time that the numbers did not have to be adjusted, and when they were adjusted, they always were adjusted down.

50:16 Yeah, I want to give credit where credit is due and then correct the record for all this deporter in chief nonsense that has lingered about Obama. There was very early, at the very beginning of his administration, the Obama administration was removing people like clockwork, and they didn't go to any great length or effort to do it. They inherited a system that was established late in the George W. Bush administration, too late to my organization's mind, but they nevertheless they established it. This system, the Secure Community System, gave ICE access to US jails and prisons. So when people were booked for any kind of reason, they were booked, they were identified as being in the country illegally.

50:57 ICE could put a detainer on them, come and pick them up purely at the jail. You don't have to go to You didn't have to say, hey, I've got a deportation quota. I want you to go out there in the streets and find this stuff. You just they're just getting phone calls from jails and getting pinged on, you know, on the internet online say oh, we're gonna go pick pick this guy up and get him out of the country. That was just moving like clockwork early in the Obama administration, and that's why the numbers were so high. Now, the Obama that's to their credit, to their detriment, they killed that program. They within within a year. They didn't they kill it within a year or something. They killed it within the first couple of years. You know, by the midterms it was basically gone and by twenty fourteen, when the Obama administration was pushing DAKA and DAPPA and all these other programs they had, basically they replaced the entire interior enforcement system with this program called Priority Enforcement Program, the PEP program, and the PEP program is basically what we have seen throughout the Obama and then the Biden administration. Which was the selling point of it is we're only we're going to prioritize criminals, which everybody agrees with. Of course you should probaboritize criminals, But what it really did was we're going to deprioritize everybody else. We are just simply not going to enforce the law against anybody who is quote unquote.

52:09 Only in the country illegally. Now, what happened is what anybody would think, any basic economists would predict. The rewards incentives went around the world. People said, if you get inside the United States during the Obama administration and if you don't go around chopping people up into pieces, you are going to get to stay. And the Obama's ICE director said as much. The Washington Post finally reported this in twenty fifteen, at the very end of the Obama's registration. They said, you know, actually All of these programs were basically there to ensure that the vast majority of people who were in the country illegally got to stay in the country illegally so they could benefit from the big comprehensive amnesty bill that President Obama wanted to get through Congress. So let's just be clear and the way that Obama juiced his deportation numbers, because how people will say, like, well, how does deportation numbers get so high while he was You say, Jeremy, that.

53:03 He's gutting Interior enforcement. Well he did it using the same trick that the Bush administration used, that the Trump administration uses, that the Biden administration uses. They all use it. It's they count border turnarounds as deportations. Somebody comes up to the border, they get turned around, they sent back boom, deportation. Now, you and I and most most Americans we think deportation somebody who got picked up in Chicago or Memphis or something like that, right, But they say, no, we're going to boost up the numbers. And because people around the world knew that if you could come to the country illegally, you could stay in the country illegally, you had huge numbers of people coming to the border, which means even though the Obama administration only did a SOS job of keeping people out of the border or from crossing the border, they had huge numbers of people to turn back every year.

53:47 Even the Biden administration that created completely unconstitutional quasi legal pathways for people to come through, they were turning people back. That's how the Obama and Biden administration has high deportation numbers because you have so many people coming to the border that you have so many it's like whack them all, so many fish in a barrel, Just turn them around, turn around, and you jack up your numbers. Meanwhile, you're doing little to no enforcement in the interiorier country. Yeah, exactly, it's all slight of hand stuff that's going on. Meanwhile, you're saying that, you know, the estimate of undocumented miners. Initially it was about two fifty, then three hundred thousand. Now we're up to a half million unaccompanied miners that have entered the US during this border crisis. And many of these childrens we know and that ice is discovered, have been abused, they've been exploited, they're in dangerous labor situations.

54:42 You know, they're all part of the net of human trafficking that goes along with this deal, and some have even died. Yeah, it's a lingering impact of the border crisis that is still with us. We have not resolved it. We have hopefully turned off the spigots so that we're not getting one hundred of thousands of young kids coming into the country every year who shouldn't be, who should be back at home with their families. So that's a good thing, and Congress needs to seal the deal by passing legislation to make sure that that does not happen again. Right now, we are completely dependent on the policies of this current administration, which you and I know we talked about last week. The state of Virginia just showed us what happens when you change an executive without locking things in by law, David Boom, those policies are gone.

55:28 We're going back to the old policies. And the other thing is is we have to continue to enforce the law in the interior of the country to break up these trafficking networks and to identify, find these kids, get them out of these exploitative situations, and hopefully restore them to their rightful families in their home countries. Well, we got to leave it there as always. Jeremy Back, We appreciate you. How can people be in touch? Come to NumbersUSA dot com and find us on x at Numbers USA.

Six minutes after the top of the r Right now, I'm Bill Martineze Scott Powell from the Discovery Institute and author himself. Mister Scott, how are we doing it? Very well? Bill, Good to see you well. Lots to catch up on in terms of what's happening in our country. Donald Trump has a lot of wind at his back, lots of winds that are going on. Terrif's hanging in the balance. Some distraction right now with Greenland, But I think his appeal to Davos, who's quite compelling in laying out the case for why the European Nations NATO ought to support this, for all the good that America has done for decades for NATO, and for what it would represent for national security, not only for America but for the world. Because as America go, so goes the world. Wouldn't you say absolutely absolutely?

58:11 You know, I think the Greenland thing really just came out of the blue almost and people are still trying to sort it out. I think, you know, Trump, Trump needs to make a clear case of why Greenland is critical to the national security of the United States, Canada and really for that matter, Europe. I mean, if America is not secure, everyone's at risk. So exactly, I mean, I think he's Look, he's a great deal maker. We know that, so I think he can structure a deal. I don't know that America needs to totally control Greenland, but Greenland needs to be in the orbit of American influence because we're going to be the ones, you know, developing the technologies to you know, to protect Greenland and to use Greenland as a defensive platform. That's that's going to be done by the United States. So the United States needs to have a dominant voice in Greenland. And I think I would guess that the Greenland people who've been neglected by Denmark can be very open minded about the growing American influence in Greenland, the dominant influence of America in Greenland. But I don't know that we need to absolutely, you know, have have a monopoly.

59:43 Control in Greenland. I'm not sure. I think there's some resistance to that. There's certainly resistance to doing anything by force. So I think you have to build a consensus, right yeah, Well, and I. Think that he's doing that, and he's presented, I believe, a first round case in front of the international bodies and the European Nations and NATO there as to why, you know, the Greenlanders would be better off with America if they had a tighter bond there because Denmark. What has Denmark done for Greenland? They promised, made promises, didn't even even fulfill one percent of the promise.

1:00:26 Uh so they. Failed in that regard. You know, they gave them sterilization, you know, as Scott Besson said over the weekend. Yet you've got that emotional appeal that here. You know, you get certain people of Greenland that associate with Denmark and say, you know, we're more aligned Mark than we are. So like those, you know, it's like the monkey with his hand, he will not let go of that in the jar. So now he's dragging this jar around everywhere he goes. And if the Greenlanders can let go of that in the jar, I mean there's just a heck of a I think a prosperous future for Greenlanders.

1:01:12 Oh absolutely. I mean, I think the example of how we've handled Alaska is really an interesting case that the Greenlanders, UH would like to have happen to them. That is to say, the natural resources of Greenland that they benefit from the extraction of. You know, it's going to be you know. Probably oil and gas, but other things too. It can be applied to every mineral extraction that a small portion is goes into a sovereign in this case, in Alaska's case, it's a state sovereign wealth fund and the and the Alaskan citizens get a check every year. Every citizen gets check from that Alaska Sovereign wealth from and that you know, that fund has been created by taking oil out of Alaska over many years. So Greenland, the Greenland people and done and done by you could participate in our natural resources and we would say yes and this is the plan.

1:02:24 Right. So yeah, we've done it before it and there's there's right and and there's proof. As you say, you you raise a great point here as far as the experience with Alaska. You want to know what somebody will do, look at what they've done so America in its beneficence has done this. What other nation, what other country you think Russia is going to share? And in that you think China is going to share? Uh, you know, the prosperity with the you know, with the residents of Alaska or Greenland of. Course not yeah, no, I mean it's really it's it's really the American model. I mean, the American model goes back to the founding of the country that the government, you know, is instituted for the benefit of the people, right to product the people's rights and to help them prosper.

1:03:13 So it's not a hard case to make. It just needs to be made. Well. The tough part is you get emotions. Emotions get involved and then you get antithical forces here in this country because anything that has to do with Trump, and they could even be another win for Trump. You got the Democrats yelling and screaming about that instead of looking looking at what's what's best for all concern what's best for America. Even you know, even Canada, Canada should be supporting this because with a Golden dome that Trump is talking about erecting here, guess what, because they're in such proximity to our country, Canada is going to be protected.

1:03:54 Now do you think do you think Canada is going to invest one dime into this Golden Dome? Probably not. There's there's again going back to what we said. If you want to know what somebody's going to do, look what they've done. There's never been any indication that Canada is you know, is that forward thinking, you know, to say, all right, look at we want to partner with you, we want to be good neighbors, and yeah, let's let's enter into our fair share. Because even when it came to NATO, how reluctant were they to you know, come up to two percent? Even if I think there now everybody they've agreed to said okay, forget about two percent. Five percent is and I think again, Canada is lacking.

1:04:36 I think Spain is you know, lagging behind as well. Yeah, I think so, I think so. But you know the other thing I think, uh, you know, Davos is sort of crowding out the news. So everything that's everything. Going on in Davos is really occupying the news, but. Really here at home, you know, I think the Trump administration needs to do three things to assure that we're going to have continuity of government. In other words, that the midterm elections are not going to go the way of rewarding the opposition party as they oftentimes do. You know, we need to maintain the Republican control of the House and the Senate, and I see no reason why we we shouldn't expect to expand our numbers.

1:05:22 There because what do the Democrats have to offer? Nothing the Republicans have have you know, have success to offer. So I think we need to focus on three things. One is prosecuting high crime felony crimes committed by public public officials, and and that would be prior administration public officials. We know who they are, we know what they've done. They need to be prosecuted. It needs to be done visibly and let the chips fall where they will. Prosecutions means that there's legal action taken and then the courts decide what the penalty should be.

1:06:08 Uh so, and. That would be exactly Scott, Scotty, let me padse you there for just yeah, okay, let me pause you there for a second because we got to go to quick break.

We're back with the America just about nineteen minutes after the top of the r Bill Martinez here with Scott Powell, the author and member of the Discovery Institute. Scott, as you were saying, yes, I think that the American people are frustrated because it's taken some time here. But I mean, my goodness, give Trump some time here. I mean, even the Democrats are wanting you know, they're yelling up and down well, and you understand why because it's all part of their resistance campaign. But look at the Democrats have had twelve years cumulatively, eight under Obama, four under Biden, and Trump was cleaning up the mess in his first term that was created by Obama, and now he even has You know, you had eight years and now you have even four years of Obama with him in the middle.

1:11:44 Biden did more damage in four years than Obama did in eight and the onus has been on Trump to clean this up, and he's I think he's just done an awesome job and people has Yeah. I mean, I just hope that that, you know, the the the continuing speed and increased speed of deportation of illegal immigrants has to continue. We we can't back down because the Democrats don't want, you know, illegal immigrants to port it. I mean, it's incredible how our countries change. Both Clinton and Obama. You know, we're big proponents of deportation of illegal immigrants. The numbers were big, has even come close to the numbers that were deported by Clinton and Obama.

1:12:33 Yeah, but those numbers were were rigged a little bit too scotty. That's what we're finding out that they had you know, they actually deported, probably because that's what they do. But so that's you know, so uh three three things. Election reform very important to do. National elections need to be trusted by the American people. They're not right now, and we've had no as far as I can make out, no states have really taken on election reform, even though the you know, the Constitution calls for the states to set the terms of their own elections. But I think because of our problems in national elections, I think it has to be done by the federal government, and it can be very simple. I mean, I think everybody would get behind that every voter should have an id that instead of relying on you know, electronic vote tabulation systems, that we go back to paper ballots period, and that we have within.

1:13:44 The country on one day, yes, tabulated in this country, not outside in some foreign land somewhere. That's ridiculous. Absolutely, it's ridiculous. I mean what we saw is is scandalous, yes, so, but it was largely covered up as you know the media is so you know, the media can be manipulated so much, and both dominion voting systems and smart manic threaten the lawsuits to all the media if they talked about election reform and they mentioned these key players that were instrumental in the election fraud. Yes, but I think everything is changed enough. Evidence has come out, has come out, and Georgia's come out elsewhere that this is this needs to be this needs to get done, and it needs to get done soon because the mid terms are going to be upon us before we know it, November.

1:14:38 Right. Well, you're exactly you're exactly right, Scott. In some states have made moves to do it, you know, to modify and get their act together. But I agree that there needs to be federal pressure and it needs to come in a concerted way. Now there's been a bill before Congress to that would go a long way, and you know, again the Republicans have not been able to you know, push it over the finish line, and the Democrats are doing everything they can to resist because this disturbs their model. They have a model for success. They gets done the results that they have determined. Right, yes, absolutely that you know, Look, there there's been election manipulation on both sides, but it is it is much greater on the Democrats side than on the Republican side.

1:15:36 I mean, the whole strategy of bringing all these illegals in the country wasn't just to get them to vote. It was to change the configuration of the populations and states to award more seats to Democrat constitution Democrats. Yea, Look, the the illegal immigrants are going to vote. I mean, first of all, they're highly influenced. They're going to vote down Democrat because it's the Democrats that brought them in. Of course, it's the Democrats that protect them, so of course they're going to vote for the Democrats. So we have perhaps twenty million new people to skew the you know, the the the the redistricting.

1:16:20 It's crazy. Anyway, we need election reform. And lastly, you know, you know we as I said, so we need election reform, We need prosecution of felony crimes committed by public officials, and then we need then third, we need the restoration of law and order. In the cities in America. If Trump can get those three things, three very important things done, the midterm elections will be no problem for Republicans because the Republicans will go out and vote. The base of the party is highly motivated by you know, important issues, and when when the Republicans don't get those done, they lose their enthusiasm to vote. I mean a lot of people don't vote because the they think that the elections don't mean anything anymore.

1:17:17 They're rigged. They believe they're rigged. Exactly. Yeah, well that's why, that's why, like I like what when you laid this out, the number one objective was national election reform. That is key. There's a government of for by we the people. You you do an end run around that substantive statement and premise of our constitution. When you when you execute fraudulent elections. Well you make us the same as all the Banana Republicans of the world. The United States loses its moral stature of being a country of the people, by the people, and for the people, which has always made America sort of the beacon of freedom and hope for the world.

1:17:59 If we don't have little elections in America, we lose our moral authority on the world stage as well as domestically. Well, we can't allow that to happen. Uh. Election integrity is absolutely essential to the health of this country, and and the and and and the and the leadership of America in the world. We have to have election integrity, no if sands or butts. Well, you got to think about under the Biden administration. How do you think the international community viewed after that election?

1:18:41 Oh, I mean, of course they don't. They don't have They don't follow things as closely as as we do. That we American citizens can see more. But but I think that it was so obvious that Donald Trump is a very popular leader. He has these rallies where thirty five forty five thousand people gathered at every single rally, Joe Biden is nowhere to be seen. He has no particular success as a senator he has. He brings nothing to the table and he doesn't campaign. How the heck did he get eighty million votes without vote fraud?

1:19:21 You see. But when I contend and maintain, Scott, is the people internationally that met with them. You know, if you could hear what they were saying behind doors. They put up with Joe Biden because he represented America, but they knew that he was an empty suit, and Pustin knew that she knew it, and and these other world leaders. And then they were quite a tremendously of course they did. Of course they did. Yeah, yeah, so we so we didn't fool anybody. Joe Biden didn't fool anybody. And uh and here you know, Donald Trump comes back in and look what he's done in short orders. Scott, that's amazing, it's it's incredible, actually so, but what we still need to have election reform very important for the whole future of the country. And you know, look at if France can have elections on paper ballots and have the votes tabulated the same day so they know the results by the evening of voting day.

1:20:21 I think American could do that too. We used to do that, Scott. We used to do We used to do it. We did. Yeah, until we brought all these machines that opened up the door to all this fret. And we open up the floodgates of mail in votes and that we didn't control the you know, to control put any controls in it all. In other words, we've allowed votes to be counted after the election day. Yeah. Everything, everything that you could execute and do and employ that could make for a fraudulent election, America embraced absolutely absolutely the bottom line. Yeah, I'll tell you. We got to leave it there. Scott pal Senior Fellow, Discovery Institute.

Great to have you with us and you know, every day Americans are bombarded with nutrition advice from social feeds and headlines.

1:25:11 Often it's hard to know what's credible. Right. Well, there's a new national survey from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics revealing a troubling trend that nearly half of adults rely on social media, online sources, or AI recommendations instead of credentialed dietetics professionals for nutrition advice. Well, despite this growing demand for information, believe it or not, eighty six percent of Americans have never consulted a dietetics professional and only seven percent can accurately describe what they do now. This knowledge gap leaves millions without support that could prevent chronic disease, improve health outcomes, and guide sustainable lifestyle changes. Well, lucky for us, we have a Dan Brandstetter.

1:25:53 She was the president and I guess still currently is the president of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. She's here to address this misinformation. Dan, thank you so much for coming on the show. We appreciate your time and all that you have to offer to help clear some of this narrative and confusion out there for us. Thanks for having me, Bill. Well As I said, there's so much in this information age in which we live in. Everybody has an opinion. But I think we're starving for the truth, the whole truth and nothing. But so can you help us with that? Sure? It is hard.

1:26:34 People are bombarded with nutrition and food advice on a daily basis, and from so many sources, from social media, from AI, but also from well intentioned friends and family, and it's exhausting trying to figure out what's true and accurate and what's misinformation. And sometimes the misinformation is the really headline grabbing stuff. It's the fad, it's the quick fit. It's easy to get lured into that as opposed to sorting through and looking for the really accurate information. And that's where nutrition and dietetics professionals can really play a role, because they're trained to be able to interpret and translate that complicated nutrition science and translate it into real food that people actually eat, to be able to provide personalized guidance that with solutions that help your lifestyle, help meet help you meet your lifestyle goals, but are also affordable, that are convenient, that fit with your lifestyle, and most importantly, are delicious and craveable and fun to eat exactly.

1:27:51 Oh yeah, by the way, all that good stuff. Well, you know, the challenge that we have is that the reality is I say, on the upside, the good news is are interested? You know. I always use this, you know quote from Yogi Berra who said once he said, if I knew I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself, right, And so you have this idea of people wanting to live in a more healthy lifestyle, but they want to make sure the information they're getting is correct because now we're finding out the pyramid that we thought the food pyramid that we thought was good, now it's bad or whatever. And then all these other things red dyes and things that have been inculcated in our food that that's been causing problems and all this stuff. So I think it's an opportune time for dietetics to come in address these issues in such a way to recapture the credibility. Is that fair to say?

1:28:46 Absolutely? The thing is is that many of the social influencers, they're not trained, they don't have the credentials to be able to interpret but sometimes very complicated neutral science that continually evolves, and unlike the influencers, registered dietitian and nutritionists have ongoing, continuing education requirements, which means that they are constantly up to date so that they can provide the most current nutrition science translated. Into actual food that works for people's lifestyles. What's a barrier to entry in terms of the connection between the everyday people and a dietitian. What's getting in the way?

1:29:33 Well, I think there are a couple of things. First, the perception that seeing a registered dietitian nutritionist is expensive, but many insurance companies now cover the services of a registered dietitian nutritionists. The second is that people are fearful that they're going to be judged, that they see a dietitian as the food police, but registered dietitian nutritionists nutrition professionals. They lead with thempathy and understanding, and their goal is to help you find nutrition and food solutions that work best for your lifestyle, that support your individual health goals, which is important. But that also fit with your budget.

1:30:16 That are affordable, they're convenient, but most importantly again, they're delicious and enjoyable. So how can working with a dietitian make a real difference in someone's overall health. Nutrition and dietetics professionals are an often underrecognized but really important piece of the healthcare team. They play an important role in prevention, but also in managing and treating chronic conditions and when it comes to complex conditions things like diabetes, hypertension, renal disease, GI disorders, lipid disorders, and so many more.

1:31:01 Having to register dietician and nutritionness is part of that healthcare team ensures that you're going to get the most comprehensive care to make sure that you have optimized your health outcomes. I guess Stan, what I like about it is that, because I'm a person, when I'm dealing with an issue, I want to get to the root of the matter, right, I want to get to what is causing the problem. I drive my doctor nuts that way, but you know, he still likes me for whatever reason. But it's just because I want to know. And I think most people want to know about their health and they want to live right, but they just don't have the right information and or they get something you know that's that's unnecessarily complicated.

1:31:44 Uh. And you know, now that you're here, I'm going to take advantage of you if you don't mind, and just say make it simple for us. What's what's the simple maybe one, two, three of our diet that we could do that could make a big difference of starting tomorrow if not today. Well, I would say number one is make it personalized, because you know, one piece of standard advice that someone throws out on social media doesn't necessarily work for your lifestyle. And that's why it's so important to work with a registered dietitian nutritionist because they can take the you know, the science based advice and help you find small steps that work for your individual lifestyle. That's why so many people, you know, maybe fail at different diets or a regimes because it's not personalized and it's not individualized. Small steps is another big, big thing. Don't try to change your entire life in one in one swoop. But again, working with a registered dietitian nutritionist can really help you identify the small steps that mean the most in getting to your health goals.

1:33:02 Okay, well, let me ask you this, what drove you to become a registered dietitian. I think there's a couple of things. I love food and I also love science, so it was the perfect marriage of those two things. And here you are. You've been doing this for more than thirty years, so you probably have forgotten more than we'll ever learn. So God bless you for coming on and sharing your insight with us. She's thirty, like I said, over thirty years of experiencing the food nutrition industry. Currently the president of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, which happens to be Oh yeah, by the way, the world's largest organization of food and nutritional professionals. So they've got the science behind them, the experienced testimonies, and as you say, this is how you can remind us that our health plan needs to be personalized. Right, I think that's my big tech away.

1:33:56 That's right, And I'd like to invite your listeners to visit eatright dot org to find a registered dietitian that they can work with, and also to find out more about our new nationwide campaign, a Seated at Every Table, which really focuses on the value that dietitians and nutritionists. Bring to help people meet their health goals. Now, this is the Academy's new initiative, right that we were going to talk about, So we got about thirty seconds left, So I'll let you expand on that just a little bit more if you would go ahead. Sure. Well, like I said before, the role of registered dietitian nutritions is often under recognized. So by launching this campaign a seated every table, we're focusing on the vital role.

1:34:44 I'm making sure people understand the value and the vital role that working that registered dietitians can play in helping you meet your health goals in a very personalized way that will long lasting.

1:39:24 Hey, welcome back, Bill Martinez here with the doctor Bonner Cohen, senior policy analyst with a committee on a constructive tomorrow. Hey, Bonner, how are we doing? Are we doing fine? Bill? Hope you are doing well too. Well. It's a happy new year. Things are looking kind of hunky dory. They're moving quite rapidly on Trump time, as they say, which is exploding heads, especially on the left, you know, quite dramatically. But if nothing else, it's it's entertaining to watch, no doubt about it. Hey, speaking of exploding heads, let's talk about Greenland. I mean, initially, the way it came up, people were wondering was Trump really serious about this? But when you really started to looking looking at national security and what it could mean, I think for the international community, because you know, a strong America makes for a strong, you know, a strong world.

1:40:20 You know, we're already seeing that on display in the first year of Donald Trump's administration, and it looks like this is something you know, as some in the administration have declared that, you know what Donald Trump wants, he gets, and he presented quite a compelling argument before the World Economic Forum there at at Davos and explaining why this is important to America, important to Greenland, and important to the European nations. Right. Yeah, Trump is never lacking and bluster and bum bass, because that's just who he is how he operates. However, on Greenland, from the very outset, he was deadly serious the status quo on Greenland, which is a territory of Denmark.

1:41:09 Denmark as a country slightly larger than the state of Maryland, and it is in no way, shape or form capable of defending Greenland from either Chinese or Russian interference, much less coordinated Chinese Russian interference. Only the United States can do that. Now, Denmark is a member of NATO, but it's a very small member of NATO. The argument has been made, given how Trump has beat the drums on this, that Trump is undermining NATO by saying that Greenland must come under Well, he uses the word American ownership that might be modified to American control. It's it's the it's the art of the deal. However, I would argue that what he's proposing to do will actually strengthen NATO because Greenland is an achilles heel. It sits up in a strategic, geostrategic, very important part of the world, namely on the Arctic, where Russia has an enormous presence simply owing to its geography, and China has declared itself a Subarctic power. Well, there's no such there's no such thing. The northernmost border of China is hundreds of miles from the Arctic Circle. But

1:42:40 what that does tell you is that the Chinese are very interested in the possibilities there. And one look in the NAP tells you why we have ballistic dismissial missile defense systems there. We also have not with they go back decades in decades, but you now have hypersonic missiles that travel at enormous speeds. That's in addition to ever more sophisticated drones that can be launched really from anywhere. We know that the Russians and the Chinese are vitally interested in Greenland because quite frankly, they have said not only said as much, they are also actively scouting the place out They see what Trump sees the island's geopolitical situation.

1:43:31 It's actually it's a it's a Danish possession, but it's in the Western hemisphere. And actually Greenland is closer to New York City than it is to Copenhagen, and the United States is the only non Chinese, non Russian country in the world that can possibly defend Greenland exact exactly, and nobody else can do it, and even raised commitments on the part of other NATO allies will never rise to the level necessary to keep Russia and China out of Greenland. And they must be kept out of Greenland, period, end of story. So I think Trump is ultimately doing the right thing. Now. He ruffles feathers, but he ruffles feathers everywhere because that's part of the way the man operates, and he has infuriated people. But ultimately what he's trying to do is very much in the interest of the United States, and it is very much in the interest of NATO. If he continues to do what was done under Biden, Obama, Bush Clinton, going back as far as you care to go back, in the geostrategic situation that he is facing day, if he does nothing and keeps with the status quote, that status cue will change. It will change because the Chinese and the Russians are probably

1:45:05 in that order, because the Chinese have so many more means, financial and what have you at their disposal than Yeah. But Russia's been building out their fortresses there in the Arctic, have they not? Oh? Oh, have they not? Because they're right next door. The best way to check out the Arctic is not to look at the globe the way we traditionally do, but go up to the top of the globe and look down and usually who Alaska's over here, Canada is over here, Here's Greenland, and look at Russia. It's eleven time zone, so it wraps all the way around the Arctic. So of course the Russians have interest there, and they have every intention even with the diminished financial responsible resources they have at their disposal. They have icebreakers, they have the kinds of things that enable them to do shall we see certain military strategic security rate related activities there.

1:46:08 Well, they've out they've outpaced America when it comes to ice breakers. In fact, their ice breakers are. Nuclear and we are way behind in that. And that's one of the many areas in which the United States needs needs to catch up, because if we are going to assume the responsibility for defending Greenland, and I think we are Trump's kno going to back down on this. It's just a matter of what form this takes. We don't want to make this the fifty first state in the Union. There are all sorts of very compelling reasons for not doing that. It's going to become a kind of US territory. I think money will change hands between the United States and Denmark on this. And while we're at Greenland has loads of resources. There's oil, and they're rare earths and other critical minerals.

1:47:05 But Denmark doesn't have the capacity to be able to drill down all right, So America is really the prime country, I mean, the friendly country. They could work with them and then look for Greenlanders what they could get. I mean what Alaska gets a dividend every year because they share in the resources, right, And I'm sure Donald Trump in America would do the same thing for the Greenlanders. They're not that many of them, only around fifty seven thousand, and this would be a huge boost in the incomes of the Greenlanders for this, So a deal can be cooked up that will make it very attractive to them, provided of course that in coming up with whatever arrangement Trump eventually decides on. We exempt the natural resources in Greenland from NEPA. That's the National Environmental Policy Act. Because even though the Trump administration has carried out some reforms there, NEPA is another word for red tape, because if you have to get one permit after the other, after the other, after the art, you have environmental groups that file lawsuits.

1:48:23 NEPA has to be exempted. The Greenland acquisition, of whatever form it takes, it has to be exempt from NEPA. Otherwise we'll never get to the natural resources in which Greenland is so rich. So that has to be part of the deal, part of the art of the deal that Trump is cutting and I think ultimately will cut. Right exactly a couple of minutes left here, Bonner and I did want to address, you know, what's going on in Virginia. You and I we've discussed this over the years. In this particular case. Now you've got an activist judge, what else you know, restarting the Virginia Win project while ignoring military objections.

1:49:07 Right, that's right, And by the way, he did so with no jurisdiction whatsoever. This is a federal judge, a Biden administration appointee. He's a federal district judge. Win Trump ordered a pause in the construction of five offshore wind facilities stretching from Massachusetts to Virginia. That comes under what the federal government is doing with the developer, in other words, the contractor that is to be settled if there is a dispute, and there is one in the US Court of Claims, a federal district judge has absolutely no a jurisdiction there whatsoever. Stop and think about it. Of all places to put an offshore wind fall, you put this offshore about twenty twenty five miles offshore from the largest naval facility the United States has, which by the way, is also the largest military facility the United States has.

1:50:14 US Navy is very concerned about its ability to protect that facility from forces which do not wish us well. If you have hundreds of wind turbines nearby going seven hundred eight hundred feet into the air with spinning rotors, you have something that can interfere with radar, with interfere with our ability to intercept everything. Conventional missiles, hypersonic missiles, drones, you name it. There is no argument whatsoever to be made to the effect that well, no, they won't interfere, we can do it. Oh yes they will. The Navy, the people within the Pentagon who knows that they went ahead with it anyway because the developers, an eight hundred pound gorilla in Virginia thought he could get away with it.

1:51:10 But believe me, we haven't heard the last about that offshow win Farm, because, as I said, the judge's decision is going to be set aside anyway. Right exactly, And you'll keep us up to date on that. We're going to have to leave it there for now. Doctor Bonner Cohen, the senior policy analyst, a Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow.
