o, they were told that if they didn't follow what Denmark wanted that they would take away their free Medicare and free education. So that's the main thing that they want to keep. I think if Trump would offer that to them or some kind of money offer, I think that they would be willing to take it. It would be best for Greenland. Greenland has issues with alcoholism, suicide, and they're basically stagnant. There's no industries, mostly tourism, and you know, now and again. But Trump is like the hero in my mind with Venezuela, with Iran and now with Greenland. Greenlanders just aren't aware. I think that he needs to... the European propaganda is very strong.

I didn't know European propaganda was strong at all. I thought they had a weak one. What I don't understand is that it seems like Greenland is just a big money sink. Like, as I understand it, there's a bunch of money that Denmark pays to Greenland every year just to maintain the infrastructure and to protect it. And they don't even really do much protection. So it seems like it's just a big expense on their budget every year. And I don't know what benefit they get from it. And strategically it certainly has value to America, but I don't know what value it has to Denmark.

Well, then I think we should talk about something else. How about we let in as many people as we can and since Owen has an open line all the time. He can either introduce some technology stuff or not. Mike, what is the most interesting tech thing that's happening today? It's still CES, right? What... Owen, I think Scott wanted to ask you a question.

Yeah. Owen, what's happening that's not about international affairs necessarily, but just something interesting that you found in the news today?

Well, Trump made a bunch of interesting statements today. One is that he wants to limit credit card interest rates to ten percent. Another recent announcement he made was that he wants, I forget which agency, but they're going to buy something like two hundred billion in mortgage bonds. And I think that was meant to reduce interest rates. So he's taking a pretty heavy step towards trying to push down mortgage rates to make them more affordable.

Do you think that'll work? I think the story I read certainly said that it would have an impact. It would be likely to have an impact by buying all these mortgage bonds because you'd be on the market.

How many people understand buying mortgage bonds?

Probably very few. All right. Is the CES over, consumer electronics show?

I think it might still be going on, although it might be wrapping up. I'm not sure. Really tracking when it ends.

I feel like it was the disappointing show of electronics. Once again, somebody's got a robot that can do one thing, but if you had it, you'd be unhappy because your robot only does one thing.

Yeah, there certainly was. I think from the stories I saw from there, there was a lot of robots. There was a lot of AI. I think a lot of the AI was kind of disappointing or not ideal use cases for AI. So it seems like that was a bit of a letdown. There certainly was a lot of hype around the robots. So your robot butler idea, your prediction may or may not come true. You know, I'm interested like you said earlier about whether the LG robot will live up to the hype. But it does seem like there's like maybe even half a dozen humanoid robots that are at least being shown as something that might go on sale this year.

If you want to let more people in, we can. We can go view them. Or a few more people. You can accept anybody you want. Whoops. Whoops. I think everybody's accepted now. And there's an auto mode. So in theory view all. I think if we just accept some of these. It's very hard to know if they're already accepted. All right, we're going to let in a bunch of people. See what happens. Invite participants. Well, in theory, in theory, there are new people being invited right now as we speak.

They just have to turn on their camera.

Okay. If anybody wants to join and turn on the camera. There we go.

Who we got here? Hi, Scott. My name is Anthony.

Hey, what's up?

Not much, man. I love you so much. I've been listening to you for like ten years when I was like twenty-one or something. You've helped me so much. Job promotions, now engaged to a fiance, just your reframes, all those things, man. All those little lessons, talent stack. I can't thank you enough.

That's what I want to hear. Is that Christina here calling in from France?

So are you from France? You said calling in from France. Yes. Listening to you for ten years at least. What an honor. What an emotional moment. I am also Venezuelan by birth, legal naturalized US citizen. So I do have an interesting perspective about what's going on in Venezuela at the moment. Give us your perspective.

Well, a lot of people, a lot of Venezuelans have always been, it's probably fifty-fifty, pro-Trump and very much against. And the against have been calling us the Maguelans in a pejorative way and they are all now coming around to being very grateful to President Trump for what he has done for the country. Of course, the first reaction was that everyone wanted Machado in and everyone was like, WTF? Why is she not the president as she should be rightfully? But more and more of the thinkers of the country have been coming around and actually commenting very publicly that Trump is doing exactly the right thing because Maria Corina would not have even remotely the possibility of commanding the military or any kind of the remaining institutions of the country to bring order back into the country. So from the Venezuelan perspective, everyone is extremely happy and grateful to the United States and in particular to President Trump.

Wow. So how long has it been that people were pro-Trump?

Well, a lot. It's a little bit like the Cubans. Venezuelans have been suffering socialism, have been suffering at the hands of leftist ideology. So most people are not buying any of the nonsense of the left. Having said that, you do get a little bit of what traditionally Latin America has a little bit of a leftist heart. So there's that conflict. However, Venezuelans have experienced in their own flesh what it is to be under the boot of communism. So automatically you are on the right.

Well, what's your take on Europe in general and backing?

Right. A little bit more about me. I'm actually a graduate of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and I think I am the only one of my classmates that is actually a registered Republican and has voted for Trump three times. I have constant battles with my friends from that time and everyone is of course in the academic elite where they have this Democrat superiority. In terms of Europe, my husband's German and I have been living in Germany for several years now. It's difficult because on the one hand Europeans mostly see what's happening in terms of the problems with immigration and the decline in the culture. However, there is, at least in Germany where I live, there is t
