they have got a deal literally ready to go on the table, but then the chinese have to say i don't think they want to sell it. they want this as a data collection tool. just because has to be an indication from bytedance's parent company open to negotiations about the deal. we can have some takers on the tape on the u.s. side of this but without bytedance saying they want to get into her entertaining and actual sale, i don't know if president trump can satisfy the statutory definition of significant progress on a deal. >> john: does china really need the money? it might because it is going to sell for a lot of money. i want to ask about greenland now because this is a do make ia fancy when talk about so many years ago by increasing, i think, gaining traction. listen to what trump said on january 9th. speak of the people of greenland would love to become a state ofe united states of america. they were greeted with

departments, this is a perfect example, dei. they know it is detrimental in n the incoming president does not like it so they decided to shut it down peer to if they did believed to advance the mission of the fbi and others, they would keep it in place. >> sandra: we see this more and more in companies rolling back dei initiatives. we have been reporting for some time everybody from google to toyota to lowe's, wayfarer and beyond. give us see recognizable names including mcdonald's and also states removing dei initiatives, state institutions and public institutions and that is the case, nicole. final thought. >> because it does not work. i can tell you right now, i have never been called out on an arrest were received in a tip from an american, by the way, i would like this -- can a woman respond or black female respond or white female? no one cares and when you are an american and you call the fbi,
