00:00A couple of the other things that came out of the interview with the Iranian foreign

00:02minister that were striking, he poked fun at President Trump's idea of moving Gazans

00:09to Jordan and Egypt. He also poked fun at the idea of taking control of Greenland. I mean,

00:16that's not likely to have gone down well with President Trump, is it? He doesn't like it when

00:20people mock him. Well, look, I think you've always got to pull back and understand the

00:25axiom with President Trump. You can take him literally or you can take him seriously.

00:31And I think in the case of Greenland, what he is looking for is a pretty good deal

00:41with Greenland, primarily for the defense of the United States. That doesn't necessarily

00:46mean that he's going to make it a state, that he's going to turn it into a real estate opportunity,

00:51but I think he's trying to get a deal out of Denmark so that we have better permission

00:56to be able to use Greenland, which is an incredibly important

01:01piece of land in terms of defending the United States.
