| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, internet people, it spell again. |
| 0:05.0 | So today, we're going to talk about Trump needing a map and the hard way. |
| 0:12.0 | As it becomes apparent that Trump's moves in Venezuela failed to bring out his desired results, |
| 0:20.0 | Trump is now promising yet another intervention |
| 0:23.3 | in a place with far more devastating consequences to the United States. |
| 0:28.9 | Even if it goes well, which it probably won't. |
| 0:33.6 | But beyond that, Trump apparently needs to take a long, hard look at a map before he sleepwalks the |
| 0:40.3 | U.S. further into decline. Trump said, quote, we are going to do something in Greenland, whether they |
| 0:48.6 | like it or not. Because if we don't do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland, and we're not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor. |
| 1:00.5 | Geographers and experts who own highly specialized technical equipment, like a globe or a map, we're confused. |

| 1:43.1 | The standard joke is that politicians will often send kids off to war in countries they couldn't find on a map. |
| 1:48.1 | In this case, maybe it's true. As far as China, |
| 1:55.7 | until China attempts to take over Taiwan, I feel like we can rule out the possibility of them attempting to take a country roughly 5,000 miles away. Aside from that, both Russia and China are smart enough |
| 2:04.8 | not to make a direct land grab against NATO. Almost everybody in the world knows that's a bad |
| 2:11.2 | idea. The problem is, those that don't all seem to work in one place. |
| 2:20.4 | When talking about Greenland, Trump said, quote, |
