From the transcript
There's not much. The left-wing Danish Prime Minister Mette Friedrichsson and Hardline Conservative US Vice President J.D. Vance agree with each other on.
But in March 2025, there was something amongst an inflammatory conference in Berlin with many of the biggest European powers present. Vance went into attack mode. European leaders were outraged by his speech, which felt belittling towards Europe.
But one person was listening more to what Vance said rather than how he said it, especially in regard to the perceived threat of mass migration into Europe. It was Mette Friedrichsson, and she wholeheartedly agreed. Friedrich sson had, by that point, championed some of the harshest immigration and asylum policies in all of Europe.
