| 0:00.0 | Some very interesting conversations are taking place after Trump captures Maduro. |
| 0:04.3 | People are like, wait a minute, what are you going to be doing? |
| 0:06.1 | Yeah, we're going to be running Venezuela right now. And guess what? We're taking around 30 to 50 million barrels from Venezuela for America. And we're going to keep it here. China comes out and says, wait a minute. No, no, no, no. You can't do that. We've been taking control of this place. Mark Rubio comes out, no, no, no, no, no. This is Western Hemisphere. This is what we're doing. Is America going back to imperialism? Maybe we have been building an empire. Are we going back to expansionism? What could be next? Cuba? Are we really going to go after Honduras? Colombia? He's talking about Greenland. We need Greenland. It's a national security. No matter what we have to take care of this, there's a lot of stuff that we're going to go after Honduras, Colombia? He's suck him at Greenland. We need Greenland. It's a national security. |
| 0:38.1 | No matter what we have to take care of this, |
| 0:39.7 | there's a lot of stuff that we're going to go through today. |
| 0:42.7 | And Monroe Doctrine, Don Road Doctrine, |
| 0:45.3 | what the hell is a Donro Doctrine? |
| 0:47.5 | We're going to talk about all of that stuff today. |
| 0:49.9 | We're going to talk about all of that stuff today. All right. If you give out you out it, it's good to give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel. |
| 1:07.0 | Stick around to the variant on how to get these notes. Let's get right into it. |
| 1:10.2 | Monroe Doctrine by James Monroe, 1823. What was it all about? Here's what he said. In other words, |
| 1:17.0 | I'm paraphrasing. Western Hemisphere is an American problem. Anything on our side, we got to address as Venezuela. |
| 1:24.9 | Our problem. Mexico. Our problem. Canada. Our problem. Cuba. You got to see the history of it what happens here. And at the time, the enemy was Europe. So guess what? We don't want Europe to come in here. We got this whole place. We got to take this whole thing over before France comes in. There's a lot of people at the time, obviously it's not about the leaders, but we got to make sure Europe doesn't come in and take over. So that was their concern, keeping European powers out. So Monroe was about defense. So let's go get everything right now. We've got to protect ourselves, right? Trump comes out and says, you know, Monroe talked about all this stuff, but nowadays they're calling the downroll. What is the downroll? The downroll is different. It's American first leverage. It's purely transactional negotiation like business way of doing things. Transactional, what does U.S. gain? The enemy today is not Europe. It's China. It's Russia. So Donroll, defense by offense. Let's go get everything that we can. We need Greenland. We need Panama Canal. We need all these other places. We need all these things that's going to be. We got to go back to expanding again. Are we expanding? What is going to be next? So these two things led to a lot of conversations because Greenland became one of them that we need to go get. There's a bunch of conversations that say, well, listen, there's 56,000 people that live in Greenland. Why don't we just give each one of the people that live there a million dollars? Some guy tweeted about this. Let's pay in 56 billion dollars and take that whole thing over. They've got a lot of great natural resources. Some people say, who cares about Greenland? What do you find out when we got Alaska? Everybody was laughing about this It's a dumbest deal you ever did, America, buying up Alaska until they found out exactly what happened afterwards. |
| 2:54.6 | So most of the time, when we look at maps, we look at maps this way. |
| 2:58.6 | This is us, this is Greenland. |
| 3:00.6 | Who cares about Greenland? |
| 3:01.6 | But if you look at the map in a complete different way, this is Greenland. This is us. This is Greenland this is us this is Greenland this is |
| 3:09.9 | Russia it is very important strategically to get this and trust me everybody |
| 3:16.8 | came out yesterday Italy Denmark Prime Minister no Italy and you agree Germany and |
| 3:23.4 | Britain no America can how dare you come and say, |
| 3:26.6 | you need this? So people are starting to talk and say, maybe this guy's up to something that we don't |
