00:00You said case closed yesterday, do you, as that case was closed, do you have anything
00:07that you can share about what was learned, how this can be avoided in the future, any
00:12sort of findings from that investigation?

00:24I'm glad you're so eager to ask a question.
00:25It's Liberation Day.
00:26Yes, it is.

00:42So then why did he have to tell the domestic automakers not to raise prices?
00:46Well, that was a private conversation that was had.
00:49I'm not sure if that comment was made or was not made.
00:52But as for what the President said in his Inauguration Day speech, he's absolutely correct.
00:58A tariff will be a tax on these foreign nations, these foreign companies.
01:01And if they want to be absolved of that tariff, then they can come here to the United States
01:06of America to do business, bring their jobs here.
