Megyn Kelly 2:18
In advance of his arrival in Switzerland, the president posting an AI image online, depicting him planting an American flag next to a sign reading, quote, Greenland, U.S. territory, established 2026. In recent weeks, President Trump amping up his pressure campaign to secure control of the semi-autonomous territory from Denmark, including threats to impose additional tariffs on the eight European nations most opposed to America's takeover. In response, European leaders scrambling to present a united front, holding emergency talks. At Davos yesterday, head of the European Union Ursula von der Leyen striking a defiant tone calling for Europe to untether itself from the US.
Ursula von der Leyen 3:01
Geopolitical shocks can and must serve as an opportunity for Europe. And in my view, the seismic change we are going through today is an opportunity, in fact, a necessity to build a new form of European independence. Of course, nostalgia is part of our human story, but nostalgia will not bring back the old order. And playing for time and hoping for things to revert soon will not fix the structural dependencies we have. So my point is, if this change is permanent, then Europe must change permanently too.

What details are known about the Indiana judge shooting incident?

Ursula von der Leyen 3:45
It is time to seize this opportunity and build a new, independent Europe.
Megyn Kelly 3:51

Megyn Kelly 4:07

Gavin Newsom 4:22
People rolling over. I should have brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders.

How are Portland police responding to the shooting of officers?

Gavin Newsom 4:27
I mean, handing out crowns and handing out, I mean, this is pathetic. Nobel Prizes, they are being given away. I mean, it's just pathetic. And I hope people understand how pathetic they look. and the world stage.

What exciting news did Vice President JD Vance announce?

Gavin Newsom 4:42
I mean, at least from an American perspective, it's embarrassing.
