0:00.0	This is GPS, the Global Public Square. Welcome to all of you in the United States and
0:06.8	around the world. I'm Bianca LaDriga, filling in for Farid Zakaria today, and we are coming
0:11.5	live from New York.
0:13.7	Today on the program, I have an interview with Iran's Foreign Minister, who warned this

1:27.2	Look, we heard from the Prime Minister, as you mentioned there, and he really tried to
