00:00Thanks, Karine.

00:01I mean, to Kellio's point, the President today,

00:02when he called in to Morning Joe,

00:03he said that he had released all of his medical records.

00:06Should we take that as an indication

00:07that he's going to do so?

00:08Well, look, what I can say is that we have shared

00:13a comprehensive medical report that is pretty detailed,

00:17that is in line with other Presidents,

00:20certainly not the last one,

00:21but the ones, the two before the last President.

00:25And we have been pretty much in line

00:28with what they have done, to be more clear,

00:32George W. Bush and also President Obama.

00:36So we've been –

00:37The last one did let his daughters

00:38come to the briefing room and speak to us.

00:40Okay.

00:41And we know what that last President said

00:42from this briefing room.

00:43Okay?

00:44During the call today –

00:45It only did, I think, three or four paragraphs.

00:48Very different.

00:50Very different approach.

00:51During the call today to MSNBC,

00:53was the President reading off of a script?

00:55So I was in the room when the President

00:57was called in to morning Joe.

00:59The President spoke from his heart.

01:00The President was very clear.

01:01There was no script at all.

01:04And he was very detailed.

01:06You heard him say, actually, during the call,

01:08that he was reading some quotes.

01:10He said it.

01:11He shared that information.

01:12He was reading some quotes from the debate.

01:15So he shared that with you.

01:16What you heard was a passionate interview.

01:19It was about 18 minutes.

01:21He talked about and laid out his vision for this country.

01:24He talked about how he wants to make sure we move forward.

01:28I want to be really careful because he also talked

01:30about the campaign, which I can't do from here.

01:33But he – I think it was incredibly powerful.

01:37He was reading quotes, but not from a script?

01:40No, it was not a script.

01:41And in a big-voice press conference,

01:43how many questions should we expect

01:45that he is going to take?

01:46So, look, it is going to be a solo press conference.

01:49It is going to be certainly more than a two-plus-two.

01:52I'm not going to – we're still working it out,

01:55so I'm not going to go into specifics from here.

01:57But you could expect a solo press conference

02:00from this President at the end of the NATO summit.

02:04He's looking forward to it,

02:05and he will be taking your questions.

02:07So that will be a good thing.
