00:00Just a quick follow-up. There's been some public sparring between Elon Musk and the
00:05President's trade advisor, Peter Navarro, on some of these tariffs. Musk actually referred
00:08to Navarro today as being, quote, dumber than a sack of bricks. Are you, or is the administration
00:14and the President all concerned that this is maybe impacting the public's understanding of
00:18these tariffs? It might be messing with the message on it? No, look, these are obviously
00:22two individuals who have very different views on trade and on tariffs. Boys will be boys,
00:28and we will let their public sparring continue. And you guys should all be very grateful that we
00:33have the most transparent administration in history. And I think it also speaks to the
00:38President's willingness to hear from all sides, that he has people at the highest levels of this
00:43government in this White House who have very diverse opinions on very diverse issues, but the
00:47President takes all opinions in mind, and then he makes the best decision based on the best interests
00:53of the American public. Deanna. Thanks, Caroline.
