Welcome everybody to the Tuesday edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show. Congratulations to the University of Indiana Hoosiers on their glorious victory last night.

What happened at the College Football National Championship game?

Buck Sexton 0:19
I was there with Clay watching the national championship game. Our president, Mr. Trump, President Trump was there. And it was quite a scene. We'll give you some of the highlights from it. And it was amazing to watch Indiana turn a home game for Miami into a home game for Indiana because that is what that stadium felt like. It was a sea of red. Very polite. I said, Indiana fans are all very nice, very smiley, and they turned around. I don't think they realize I'm a Miami native, so technically I'm supposed to be all about Miami. But you all saw that game, I'm sure, last night. It was actually a very good game. I had Mr. Clay here explaining to me the various players and what was going on, so we had a great time with that.
Buck Sexton 1:02
It is the beginning of year two. of the Trump administration, because it is the one-year anniversary of the inauguration. So year one in the books. Some great wins on the board, I think, already, which we'll be discussing a bit. And then some other things that... are still certainly major challenges to look at, to deal with. And we have clay today, one of those I think that we could circle and dive into straight away. Greenland. Yes. Who would have thought, who would have thought that this place that generally doesn't get much in the way of press or thought or anyone talking about it, It's quite large and quite sparsely inhabited. Who would have thought that this would become the center of an international imbroglio?
Clay Travis 1:58
Well said.
Buck Sexton 1:58
I love that word. Thank you. It is definitely causing a hullabaloo. You have various heads of state who are getting quite huffy. And the Wall Street Journal here writing that Trump doubles down on Greenland ahead of Davos arrival. He is making it a thing that does not just go away. I do believe at some point we might have to do a show from Greenland and go check out the Greenlanders ourselves. But we'll put a pin in that for now. Here, if you want to know how Trump feels about the whole situation... Here it is. This is cut to talking about why does this belong to the people that it has belonged to? Play two.
Donald Trump 2:39
What do you plan to say to European leaders when they push back on your Greenland plan? Well, I don't think they're going to push back too much. We have to have it. They have to have this done. They can't protect it. Denmark, they're wonderful people. And I know the leaders are very good people, but they don't even go there. And, you know, because the boat went there 500 years ago and then left, that doesn't give you title to property. So we'll be talking about it with the various people.
Buck Sexton 3:12
Clay, he is not backing off this at all. In fact, he's making it a front and center issue at Davos. The prediction markets, which are becoming more and more of a narrative-defining prospect in pretty much all facets of life. This morning, Buck, I was looking. 47% chance that Trump takes control of some part of the country of Greenland. Now, again, that's the way that this is phrased. At some point in 2026, basically 50-50. When this all started, do you remember when we started talking about this and everybody sort of treated it as sort of a outlandish joke that was not actually in any way likely to occur? Now we have moved into the could this happen phase. And this is a lot of times what Trump does, right?
Buck Sexton 4:04
He throws something out there that people think is outrageous, that they think is outlandish, that they think there is no way it could ever happen. And then he just stays maniacally fixated on it. It remains in his purview, and he keeps advancing closer and closer to it. And I know... He would probably argue this is a part of the art of the deal because if you start with aggressive posturing that seems highly unlikely, then at some point a middle ground that would have seemed unlikely starts to feel like a compromised position, if that makes sense.
