| 0:00.0 | Well, he held a press conference yesterday. He was talking about a range of issues, including |
| 0:05.2 | NATO, hostages, his wish to buy Greenland also take control of the Panama Canal. He discussed |
| 0:12.1 | Elon Musk, speculation about Canada becoming a state, lots of key different things. And I think |
| 0:19.4 | the most, I don't know if you want to call it shocking |
| 0:22.8 | because it came from Donald Trump and that means nothing should shock you at this point. |
