And, you know, the president was calling all five Republicans, and he was very upset.

He was...

constantly speaking poorly of them.

But what we saw here was the role that Secretary Rubio played, who's a former senator, has personal relationships with all of these individuals, and was able to sit with these senators, give them more information, and give them assurances of their red line, which both Todd Young and Josh Hawley said that their red line was they did not want boots on the ground in Venezuela.

that was really important to them and they got the promise that that would not happen unless the administration came to congress before so republicans did get something out of it but you can ask yourself what really changed between last week and last night it really is the full court press that these republicans received from trump and his his team

So Greenland, we are seeing an even bigger break potentially than what we saw with Venezuela and from a cast of characters that aren't the usual critics of Trump.

So Republican senators specifically-

are sort of like, what are we doing here with Greenland?

Certainly, military force, people are not on board with.

The Speaker of the House, the leader of the Republican Senate, both Republicans, Mike Johnson, John Thune, have said military action in Greenland would not be a good idea.

And then even when it comes to the purchase of Greenland, you have the chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senator Wicker, who said,

came out of meeting with Danish officials and said, you know, this is not... We should not be talking about the purchase of Greenland.

That's not what these officials want.

And there's a lot of Republicans, even more so privately, who I'm talking to, who are kind of hoping that Trump isn't serious about this.

And so...

I think Republicans are trying to not get ahead of where the president is here.

They don't want to, you know, draw a firm line until they see exactly what Trump is going to do.

But there is this sort of trepidation and this sort of, I don't know, maybe even like quiet finger crossing that Trump is going to drop this.

He's going to move on in that what he's saying about Greenland isn't actually going to come to fruition.

It's a huge topic of conversation.
