| 0:00.0 | We hold these truths to be self-evident. That all men are created. As a member of Congress, I get to have a lot of really interesting people in the office. Experts on what they're talking about. This is the podcast for insights into the issues. China, bioterrorism, Medicare for all, in-depth discussions, breaking it down into simple terms. We hold... We hold these truths. We hold these truths. With Dan Crenshaw. |
| 0:22.2 | The angle has landed. Welcome to the Situation Report. This is Sit Rep. 29. We're going to give you |
| 0:28.2 | the most interesting news from last week, Army with the facts as usual. So let's talk Greenland. |
| 0:33.5 | President Trump announced today, Wednesday, that a framework for a future deal regarding Greenland has been agreed upon with the NATO Secretary General Mark Rut. |
| 0:43.3 | In conjunction with that announcement, Trump said he's going to suspend the terrorists on United Kingdom and seven other NATO allied countries that were set to take effect on February 1st. |
| 0:52.8 | So this all happened while he was speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos. |
| 0:56.0 | The President reiterated the U.S. interest in Greenland while making it clear that military |

| 1:22.6 | dominates. Can't let that happen. And by the way, one of those mines in Greenland, China has a majority |
| 1:29.1 | ownership of. So the importance of Greenland was flagged well back in 2019 when U.S. intelligence |
| 1:36.1 | assessments flagged it growing China and Russia interests and aggressive behavior in the Arctic expansion. |
| 1:43.2 | And so ignoring Greenland doesn't preserve stability. |
| 1:45.9 | It invites competitors to shape the region instead. And also, we've bought land from the Danes before. |
| 1:52.1 | Might remind everyone back in 1917, actually, that's why you get to enjoy the U.S. Virgin Islands. |
| 1:57.8 | Remember, power vacuums don't stay empty. So if the United States doesn't define the |
| 2:01.4 | Arctic's future, China and Russia will. NATO is stronger now. You're welcome Europe again. |
| 2:08.8 | In Iran, Iranians have taken to the streets and thousands have been killed, as you might imagine, |
