Summary

Sean digs into reports that the U.S. may pursue acquiring Greenland, citing Arctic security and deterrence of Russia and China. He speaks with Florida Congressman Randy Fine about his bill to authorize steps toward a deal and a possible path to statehood, including his meeting with the ambassadors of Denmark and Greenland. They weigh statehood concerns, draw comparisons to Alaska, and discuss Greenland's natural resources. The hour also features Sean's broader national security concerns about Europe and immigration, plus a Senate exchange where Josh Hawley presses a physician on whether men can get pregnant. Sean then takes listener calls on California politics and fairness in women's sports.
