Hey everybody, we're back with Senator Bernie Sanders.

The President has threatened new tariffs against Europe unless they let him have Greenland.

Would you be in favor of us getting Greenland as long as we also got Denmark socialized health care.

The first time you came on this show over 10 years ago, you talked about like, Denmark's a great model for us.

Maybe we could get infected with some of those ideas.

I mean, Democrat Denmark, you know, provides free, high quality health care to their people.

A free college education, very strong childcare, Their workers make good wages.

It is a very modern, progressive society.

But between you and me, I don't think that that is what Trump's idea is.

You know, in the midst of all of the craziness, the idea that you would have a president of the United States, say Norway, you didn't give me the Nobel Prize.

what it is, I mean, it really is, it's like a narcissistic 4 year old spoiled brat, you know?

Yeah, I'm gonna yell and scream cause I didn't get my extra cup of ice cream.

So, you know, what do you think is really behind this?

Why do you think Donald Trump really wants to do this?

Because first he says it's security, but we've got military.

I've been up to the military base up there, it's lovely, but it's gravel and it's ice.

And we already have the right to put other military bases up there and we've got our ships all around there.

And when you talk he says, oh, what about rare earth and all that kind of stuff?

We don't really know what's underneath that ice cap.

We don't really know, interestingly enough.

And I don't know all that much about it, but

there's some evidence once again that some of our oligarchic friends are investing since Trump has started talking about Greenland, that some of these guys are investing money in what might be a mineral rich area.

Yeah, but it would take a quadrillion dollars of investment.

Can Trump be stopped if he wants to seize this yes.

How can Congress do something to stop him?

I mean, there are a variety of things short of war with our allies.

I mean, there are war powers resolutions, acts which would prevent him.

Did that prevent him from going into Venezuela?

Well, we didn't pass it, as a matter of fact.

I think, you know, I'm not a great fan of my Republican colleagues, but

I think that for a variety of reasons, including self preservation, I think there are about 8% of the American people think invading Greenland is a good idea.

And I think some of my Republican colleagues are understanding that this is just very, very crazy and not something that can be supported.

Do you believe that they believe that NATO should be preserved?

Because obviously we're already very close to having destroyed NATO.

Just the threat itself of one NATO country threat threatening to invade another NATO country, really sounds like the death of NATO to me.

You know, I think, you know, understanding that we have had an alliance with European countries for, you know, well over 100 years, that we save the world from Nazism and fascism because of the United States and the UK And France and European countries, I think that's, that's a deep alliance.

And I don't think the American people want to give that up to go to bed with the guy in Saudi Arabia, so.

Okay, we're gonna take another little break here, but right back with more Senator Bernie Sanders, everybody.
