00:00So the administration, I have an administration source who's telling me that we're weeks away
00:04from the first deal with the country over tariffs. Where is the administration? How soon can we see
00:09that? And what country is that? I won't reveal or get ahead of our trade team as these negotiations
00:15are obviously ongoing. But I can tell you very good progress has been made. Jameson Greer was
00:20on television this morning and I spoke to him and he confirmed that more than 15 offers are already
00:25on the table, which is remarkable in just a mere matter of days. And as I said earlier,
00:30we've heard from more than 75 countries around the world. This is a team effort. The president
00:34has a team of great, brilliant advisors who have been with him every step of the way and all of
00:41them will be divvying up the workload. And I just want to give the president and his trade team credit
00:46for taking this on. This is a massive undertaking. There's no doubt about it. We take it very seriously.
00:50The president is determined to renegotiate global trade on behalf of American workers. And again,
00:56you've seen people on both sides of the aisles calling for this for years. But I think no other
01:01president lacked the courage or maybe the work ethic or the stamina to take on such a task. And I know
01:07there were some questions about the president's delayed departure earlier to Walter Reed. I'd like
01:10to address it was because he's working on this very issue. So he was running a bit behind this morning.
01:15I'm a 90 day pause.
