| 0:06.0 | So today, we're going to talk about five of your questions about Greenland. |
| 0:13.0 | Obviously, with everything going on, with Trump looking at Greenland, there's been some questions, and we're going to run through the most frequent. |
| 0:22.6 | Just jumping right in. |
| 0:24.6 | Are the rumors that the Joint Chiefs won't draw up plans to take Greenland true? |
