Transcript
00:00What do you think of this idea of replacing Iran with Italy in the World Cup?
00:06I don't think about it too much.
00:10That's an interesting question.
00:12Let me give it, you know what?
00:15Let me give that a little thought.
00:16That's a very, is that what they're doing?
00:18They're thinking about replacing Iran?
00:19Apparently it's a proposal.
00:21Let Marco make his polymorphous.
00:22Marco, could you make a statement of that, please?
00:24What do you think of?
00:25Yeah, there's nothing from the U.S. has told them they can't come.
00:28I mean, the problem with Iran, it would be not their athletes.
00:31It would be some of the other people that we want to bring with them,
00:34some of whom have ties to the IRGC.
00:36We may not be able to let them in, but not the athletes themselves.
00:39But no one's, I don't know where that's coming from,
00:40other than speculation that Iran may decide not to come,
00:43and then Italy would fill their spot.
00:45But that's, they decide not to come on their own,
00:47it's because they decided not to come.
00:48What they can't bring is a bunch of IRGC terrorists into our country
00:51and pretend that they're, you know, journalists and athletic trainers.
00:55Sir, is the government going on?
00:56We would not want to affect the athletes.
00:58We would not want to affect the athletes.
