00:00There's been some public sparring between Elon Musk and the president's trade advisor, Peter Navarro, on some of these tariffs.
00:06Musk actually referred to Navarro today as being, quote, dumber than a sack of bricks.
00:11Are you, or is the administration, the president, all concerned that this is maybe impacting the public's understanding of these tariffs?
00:17It might be messing with the message on it?
00:19No, look, these are obviously two individuals who have very different views on trade and on tariffs.
00:26Boys will be boys, and we will let their public sparring continue.
00:30And you guys should all be very grateful that we have the most transparent administration in history.
00:34And I think it also speaks to the president's willingness to hear from all sides,
00:39that he has people at the highest levels of this government in this White House who have very diverse opinions on very diverse issues,
00:46but the president takes all opinions in mind, and then he makes the best decision.
