00:00I hear you, but in February 2021, even you issued a statement, you said the images of
00:06the attacks stirred up anger in you, the nation was embarrassed in the eyes of the world by
00:12our own citizens.
00:13How do you personally reconcile those feelings with the pardons that he did yesterday?
00:19I understand you have work to do in the job as far as there are many things, but on this
00:22particular issue, I'm curious about what you're thinking.
00:26Yeah, well, what I'm thinking is that I used to be a United States senator until midnight
00:31last night, and now I'm going about to be sworn in as the Secretary of State of the
00:35United States.
00:36And that's what I'm thinking is I work for Donald J. Trump, the new president, United
00:39States, the 47th president, who has a clear mandate to reorient our foreign policy to
00:44one that once again puts America and our interests at the center.
00:47And that's what I'm going to focus on 100 percent.
