Oh, we are back from Canada. So, since we last spoke, dozens of US states have declared a state of emergency ahead of a historic snowstorm. Trump has announced his own version of the United Nations. Tik Tok is now requiring more information from users after it was handed over to US ownership. Sagal is being accused of using black magic after winning the African Cup of Nations. Did Donald Trump just fool the entire world with the whole Greenland situation? And something truly horrific may be [music] happening in Iran right now. Oh, it has been a long ass week, but we did meet Alex. And more on that at the end of the video. So, I think it is time to stop the yapping and let's good. And you'll see I have no whip because there is a backstory to that. Someone else has the whip. LET'S GET THE freaking [screaming] Alex Q the [music] the really soulful maybe maybe throw up a shot of where the whip is just to give him a little taste. Okay, we have missed a lot this week and for those of you saying oh we didn't get the Wednesday episode. There is one petition that I would like to just immediately sign off on. Granted, if the News Daddy team goes two consecutive update periods, Monday and Wednesday, without posting anything on this page, they must make a post assuring that everyone of the Empire and everything at the Empire is okay. Petition granted. We will be more kind to you guys in the future. Now, shut up and consume your news. So, let's start with the whole Greenland situation because it might finally, thank the Lord, be over. I'm sick of hearing of Greenland and Minnesota and where else have we heard of a lot recently. Insert other one, Alex. Now, it looks like the US and Greenland are nearing a long-term deal. So, hopefully we don't hear more about this in the future. On Wednesday, Trump announced that after meeting with the Secretary General of NATO, they have quote formed a framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland. A lot of wishy-washy words. It's not as certain as I would like it. Now, that also means Europe is going to be sighing right now that they Trump has reversed his decision to impose tariffs on all of those European nations that were speaking out against the US acquisition of Greenland. Now, we don't have a lot of details about this supposed deal so far, but Trump did tell the press that it will give quote the US everything they wanted. The USA gets everything we wanted, including especially real national security and international. It gets us everything we needed to get. It's a deal that everybody's very happy with. >> Here's what some of the speculation reports say it will look like. Instead of America simply buying the entirety of Greenland, rather they will have sovereignty over certain small areas of the country, specifically where military bases are located. And just saying that like the fact that they've even got sovereignty over small areas of another country in the big 26 without a war is pretty crazy in isolation. Also, according to a NATO official who spoke with CNN, the US will be permitted to build more military bases in these zones. And here's the craziest part, they might potentially be granting the US to mining materials without having to get permission from Denmark. So, we may see a world in the next couple of years where the US is able to mine in Greenland. Just full stop. That's wild. Now, what I want to know is what is Greenland getting out of this deal so far? Because I'm hearing a lot of what's in it for the US, but is this not a transaction? actually saying that maybe it's just the reassurance that the US will not physically invade Greenland because after announcing this whole deal, uh Trump did say that he is no longer planning to use force to take over Greenland [laughter] >> cuz people thought I would use force. I don't have to use force. I don't want to use force. I won't use force. >> But the part that's a little bit more interesting than the deal itself is how people have been responding to it. We got two very different camps. It's the one camp they are saying that this is another example of taco. And if you don't know what that means, Trump always chickens out. And they say this because that he has backpedal from his previous bold claims that he will do whatever necessary for the US to take full control of all of Greenland no matter what. Even Gavin Newsome, he responded to a tweet uh saying taco full stop. But then again on the other hand the Trump supporters are saying that this was his plan all along that he fooled the entire world saying that the US wants all of Greenland. They say that according to Trump the art of the deal his book he never wanted the full thing. So this tweet says nearly 40 years ago Trump published a book uh on how he does negotiations. In it, he carefully describes how he always asks for significantly more than what he actually wants so that he can negotiate to what he wants. Every eight months, he negotiates some deal in this exact same way. And everyone freaks out when it happens. So, what they're claiming is that Trump never wanted all of Greenland. He just wanted basically what he's got today. And now we're all a little bit like, well, well, you know, he can have certain parts of it because at least it's not the whole thing. But what do you guys think? Was this a Trump masterclass on negotiations or was it a taco masterclass and Trump chickened out? Let me know your thoughts in the comments. But for now, moving on. Okay guys, we need to talk about this wild World Economic Forum meeting because so much insane stuff actually happened. Now, for those who don't know, the WF is a international organization where once a year they hold this uh meeting in Davos, Switzerland, where a bunch of all of the top political leaders, business leaders, they all gather and discuss world domination >> that we penetrate the cabinets. So yesterday I was in a re at a reception for prime minister and I would know that half of this cabinet or even more half of half of this cabinet are for our actually young global leaders of the world economic reform. >> Uh not officially the official line I think it's just to dis simply discuss current global issues very all above board. Nothing happens in those closed door rooms. Shut up for even suggesting such a thing. Now, during one of the conferences, Trump himself went on stage and delivered a 1hour speech which left a lot of people shook as usual. He said [laughter] Iceland instead of Greenland more than once, which is pretty hilarious considering that's the country that he wanted to buy. And I also imagine, man, Iceland sat there thinking noing way, not us as well. He also roasted Europe, which is pretty common at this point. and he said that uh the continent is not even recognizable anymore and it's just heading in the wrong direction. >> They came to see me. Is there anything you can do? I want I want Europe to do great. I want UK to do great. >> Also, evacuations had to be carried out because there was a fire and a strange odor uh detected near the venue of the WF. The beef between uh Trump and the California Governor Gavin Nuome went crazy yet again. And even though Nuome attended, apparently the White House tried to block him from speaking. Now, that didn't stop him from giving a super viral speech to the press. Uh, Alex can play a couple clips here. >> I can't take this complicity. >> People rolling over. I should have brought up a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders. I mean, handing out crowns and handing I mean, this is pathetic. Nobel prizes. They are being given away. I mean, it's just pathetic. They've been played. This guy is playing folks for fools. And it's embarrassing. He even tweeted about the Trump administration saying, "How weak and pathetic do you have to be to be this scared of a fireside chat?" Now, I don't know what he actually did to remove the blockage from the White House, but he did end up giving a speech. Uh, and he really marketed it as the conversation that Trump tried to cancel. Don't miss it. And remember, this is kind of significant because Gavin Newsome is one of the people that everyone expect to be running in 2028. Oh, and how can we forget the sunglasses? I mean, mine are Mac Mron really should have worn these, but uh as you probably have seen by now, Macron was wearing aviator sunglasses. A little bit out of trend. [laughter] I mean, for a president, it's pretty trendy. Now, of course, the internet started saying that he was actually trying to cover up a black eye from Breijit Macron because of the, you know, her slapping him on the plane incident. But it's not that. It turns out that uh he has a medical condition in one of his eyes which he addressed at a previous event and I'm not going to lie to you. It's it makes him look pretty evil. So Aviators was a good choice. Trump's reaction to this. [laughter] Alex play that. That was pretty funny. >> Emmanuel Mcronone. I watched him yesterday with those beautiful sunglasses. >> What the hell happened? But by far the biggest thing that happened, much bigger than sunglasses and Gavin Newsome, is Trump's announcement of the new world order. Moving on. Okay, so this is the last piece of news involving Trump before we move on. At the WF, a place I stress yet again, this is not where they discuss world domination, Trump decided to launch the new Board of Peace, with some describing as the new world order. In fact, Elon actually came out of political retirement to give a speech and he roasted the board of peace uh saying this. >> Um I mean I heard I heard about heard about the formation of the the peace summit and I was like is that uh is that PIC? Uh [laughter] you know little piece of Greenland, a little piece of [laughter] we got one. All we want is peace. Elon, you were this close to becoming friends again with Trump. Now you >> corn casserole did. Anyway, Trump himself said that this will be one of the most consequential bodies ever created in the history of the world. I I can hear Trump in my head as I recite those lines. >> And now we have one of the most important meetings of all, the official formation of what is known as the Board of Peace. Now, according to the board's charter, the body will serve as an international organization similar to the WF or the United Nations, and its purpose will be to promote stability, peace, and government in areas affected or threatened by conflict. Sounds actually a lot like the UN. The interesting part about this is that Trump appointed himself as the board's first chair, which could see him remain in that position after his presidency. and he also will have the ability to invite and more importantly uninvite all of the countries that are partaking in his board of peace. So far he sent out invitations to about 50 countries. Half of these have accepted but interestingly the ones that have accepted are mostly in the Middle East, African countries and also like Argentina, Hungary and Indonesia. The ones that have rejected just so happen to be US allies. So quite an interesting dynamic we're seeing here. We're talking countries like France, Germany, Norway, the UK. Uh the UK actually said that they were worried about Russia's invitation to the board. And others laid out concerns that this would undermine the United Nations, which Trump has previously criticized plenty. They said that all they do is talk and they don't actually do anything, which is maybe why he's right. We'll just create our own UN. Oh, and also for the members, uh they have to pay a membership fee of $1 billion. [laughter] That's got to be the highest membership fee in existence maybe ever. And funnily enough, even though everyone's, you know, comparing this to the United Nations, the UN initially uh encouraged this board of peace, but that was only when it was first intended to oversee the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. And on that note, this is not planned news today, but I'm pretty sure the US, I don't know if it was Trump or just a, you know, part of the Trump administration, they released this image as part of their future uh imagination for what the Gaza Strip will look like. I thought that was pretty wild. I didn't have time to go through it in detail, but at least you get to see the image. But yeah, as I mentioned, Trump had way bigger plans for the border of peace than just Gaza. And uh this could be a you know pretty big way for him to hold on to global influence and power even after presidency. Anyway, let's wrap up with the Donald Trump and let's move on. Also onto a topic that I've kind of sick of talking about at this point. Tik Tok. It is finally being handed over to majority US ownership. And here's the really ironic part. So it is being handed over from China to the US. And ironically, it's now requesting more information from its users than it was when it was owned majority by bite dance. Yeah, the land of the free. So, according to a Wired report, there are three major new updates. Thank you, Wired, for reading the terms and conditions that we would just accept and we probably already have. Major change number one, Tik Tok has now added precise location tracking. So apparently before this update the app did not collect precise GPS derived location data on US users. Now it does and if you guys in the US are worried like oh I can't give my location you've already given it away to Instagram to Facebook to X like all of the American companies they already have that location so it's not the end of the world for you. Number two Tik Tok is now going to be tracking your AI interactions. Basically, anytime you are on Tik Tok, you interact with an AI tool, uh they may collect and store this data, presumably for training their AI. And number three, Tik Tok is expanding their advertising operations. So, wide report that rather than just using your collected data to target you with ads while you're using Tik Tok, the app may now further leverage that information to serve you more relevant ads wherever you go online. So yeah, I mean I'm very interested to know anyone in the US watching that uses Tik Tok, put it in the comments. Has anything changed about the app, does it feel different or is it exactly the same? Let us know. Moving on. Okay, let's talk about something very commonly discussed on this channel. Black magic. Um, [laughter] well, why do we talk about black magic so much? Because this week a Moroccan politician suggested that Senagal used black magic or voodoo in the African Cup of Nations final. And this is not a joke. He was very serious and almost I'm at the point where I'm starting to feel a little bit bad for Black Magic. They're just getting blamed for everything at this point. Remember Nigeria's coach blaming Black Magic >> during the all the penalty decision. A guy of Congo did some voodoo every time. Every time. every time. So this is why I was a little nervous after him. >> Oh man. But now this is not just a coach blaming black magic. This is members of parliament, government officials. So for context of this situation, Morocco was awarded a controversial lastminute penalty in the final against Senagal. But Sagal was so outraged by this decision that as a form of protest while the game was happening, they all stormed off and they left the game and they all went to the changing rooms. Now, after about 20 minutes of everyone standing there like, "Uh, is the game over?" All of the Senagal players, they came back out and Morocco, they took their penalty. But guess what? Morocco missed. You seeing where this is going? Sagal ended up winning this match 1 nil in extra time because obviously Morocco missed. So, everyone is wondering, what did you do in the changing rooms? How what was so urgent that you needed to go into those changing rooms for 20 minutes? Now, the tension reached a breaking point when during parliament, one of the Morocco's MPs said that the referee should be put on trial and suggested that quote something happened while the Sagal players were protesting off the field in their changing room, such as quote performing sorcery. So, we now have black magic, sorcery, and voodoo. Take your pick of whatever you want to use the word as. Anyway, that's a wild story. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. Moving on. But here's the thing. It's not just humans that went a little bit crazy this week. It's also the world's weather and this one is wild. Now, firstly, we had the whole Russia situation. I'm not going to go over that again. It feels a little bit old now. I think this happened over the weekend when we were in Canada with Alex. And I'm actually glad that we didn't cover it because as you're seeing right now, uh some of the visuals of this thing were so crazy that so many people got flooded and fooled by AI. Now, the visuals are crazy enough, but you've got people like jumping off of buildings into the snow and like news agencies reporting on this. Like, look at what they're doing. It's AI. Most of it is AI. But what we do need to talk about weatherwise is the US because a staggering 16 states have just declared a state of emergency in preparation for what's being described as an extremely dangerous, historic winter storm. Here's how crazy it is. Some people are being told, "Do not leave your house." Like, "This is going to be deadly." While other forecasters are scaring people even more and they're saying, "This storm is going to be so dangerous it could kill Americans that are even sheltering inside their homes." Now, over the weekend, which is right now, more than 200 million Americans are expected to experience heavy snowfall, freezing rain, which will quote pose a life-threatening risk of hypothermia and frostbite. to exposed skin. So, don't go out and expose your skin. Bro, look at the stores in Washington DC right now. Everyone has just ransacked the place uh because they're ready to hunker down over the weekend. And I don't know what it is about Americans, but they love ransacking storms. Even Donald Trump has just posted saying that he's being briefed on the storm. Imagine the president getting briefed on a storm. Uh and then he said that he will be cooperating with the state and local officials to keep people safe. And this was actually a post in response to a tweet by the National Weather Service saying, "Take this storm seriously." And they warned of widespread closures and disruption to infrastructure throughout central and northwest US. Brother, look at this. In Minneapolis, you've got freaking frozen pasta as the temperatures went down as low as -21° with a windchill of -45. That is insane. Anyway, we're going to give you guys an update on how this all plays out on Monday. So, make sure you subscribe to the channel. You don't want to miss that one. But for now, moving on. Okay, speaking about ICE and not being safe in your own home, you might not be safe in your own home from ICE, which is that's a diabolical segue. According to a leaked memo, ICE have instructed their agents that they do not have to have a signed warrant before forcibly entering the homes of people subject to deportation. Now, apparently this memo dates back to May 2025 and it's been obtained by the Associated Press courtesy of two whistleblowers. Now, in this memo, which was reportedly signed by acting ICE director Todd Lions, if a judge has already ordered the removal of an immigrant, agents may forcibly enter their home with the use of an administrative warrant. They no longer require a judicial warrant. Those are two different things. So, just so you know, previously administrative warrants that would only allow ICE agents to arrest people, not enter someone's home. But now it seems that according to this new information, a warrant could be used to enter someone's home if a judge has signed off that that individual needs to be deported. Now, of course, there's been a lot of backlash to this. Some people are saying that this is unconstitutional and a violation of the Fourth Amendment. However, on the other hand, some ICE agents are arguing that this is legal uh because those that are being targeted in these arrests have already gone through an immigration proceeding and they have final removal orders against them. And I mean this information comes out at the same time where people in Minnesota have gone out by the tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands and are protesting in - 10 -20° arguing and demanding that ICE agents need to be removed from their city. But let me know what you guys think. Do ICE have too much power right now or not? Moving on. Okay. And last story of the day, we genuinely have to ask a very serious question. Has a genocide taken place in Iran? Because according to the most recent reports, at least 16,500 people have been killed in connection with these protests over the last few weeks. And it is now being described by some witnesses as a genocide taking place under digital darkness because yes, there is still no internet there. Now, these numbers are coming from doctors on the ground who also claim that a staggering 330,000 people have been injured and that is being reported by the Times. 300,000 people is genuinely crazy for just injuries. Now, the Times were only able to speak to these people through stalling because, as I mentioned, the internet is still cut out. And to make the situation even worse, the majority of those killed are believed to be under the age of 30, including children and pregnant women. Witnesses say that this has been a brutal crackdown on the youth of Iran. In fact, even the country's own Supreme Leader has admitted that thousands of protesters were killed, but he describes them as foot soldiers of the United States who were armed with live ammunition and imported from abroad. The government puts the death toll not at 16,500, but rather 3,000, which even as the lower estimate is still insane amounts of people that are being killed. One person who the Times reports escaped from the country recounted that they have set up checkpoints everywhere. They said that officials search everyone's phones. They go through their photos. Uh they physically inspect people's bodies and if they find these pellet wounds on someone, they assume that they were part of the protest and they immediately arrest them. Eyewitnesses who have fled Iran also describe snipers targeting protesters heads, mass shootings, and systematic blindings of people using pellet guns. And now in the most recent update on the situation, the Iranian regime are saying that the protests are officially over and they have been squashed. But I guess with the internet still cut out, it's very difficult to get an accurate representation of what is actually going on there. I mean, this is what we discussed last week when the protests were at their peak, you know, Iran has seen bigger protests than these ones, and every single time they have cracked down even harder. So, as of right now, it's looking like the country's leadership has weathered yet another storm. Wild. But of course, as the situation develops, I'll keep you guys updated. Then we now need to move on to News of the Empire. Alex Q's just put text. I know you don't have time to put an whole animation. News of the Empire TBC with better animations in the future. So, yes, as you can see, uh I have met Alex. We went to Canada together. He bought me amazing can Canadian Where's my hat? These are just some of the gifts from Alex. We have got a very warm hat. We've got a beautiful Canadian ice hockey uh whatever the you call this. And just so you guys know, I know so many of you were commenting on the last video, where is the footage you guys? How fast do you think that Alex can edit? Huh? I we have got over seven hours of footage that Alex singlehandedly crushing his back now has to put together. You'll be lucky if you get this in 2026. All right. You'll be lucky if you get it before GTA 6. So, don't expect it too quickly. But I've got a lot to say about Alex, which I don't want to say yet. Um, he's not the man I expected. Dot dot dot. He's not the man I expected. [music] All right. That's all you get to hear. I can't wait to show you guys the footage. [laughter] All right, that's a wrap. I will see you guys on Monday. IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK. I'LL see you then. >> Alex is like, if finally he turned mad, who is he talking to? [laughter]
