00:00And with that, I will take as many of your questions as I possibly can.
00:04Yes.
00:05I mean – yeah.
00:06Oh.
00:07Do you want to do the –
00:08Yeah.
00:09Well, let's do – we'll talk to Andrea Mitchell.
00:10Yes, ma'am.
00:11Would the Secretary consider a request from the President to replace Mike Wallace
00:21temporarily or in another – in another fashion if that is something that the President thinks
00:28would be good for the country?
00:29Is that something that the Secretary would consider?
00:33I've – obviously, I'm not going to jump ahead of thinking what the Secretary might
00:41say or do in any context.
00:43What we do know is that the President is, in fact, the one who is running this country.
00:49It is his leadership and vision that has set the tone and the trajectory and the policy.
00:56He has put together a cabinet that understands and operates within a commitment to the nature
01:02of the President's vision.
01:04And we do know, of course, within all aspects of this, especially with foreign policy, there
01:09has been tremendous success in our foreign policy.
01:12And of course, it continues.
01:13And that is a dynamic that's not going to change but is a result of President Trump's
01:19vision and his day-to-day work in making the situation possible and functional.
01:26And of course, the – I would say, certainly, with what we've done in 100 days with getting
01:30people to the table, the nature of what is happening with the Houthis, the fact that
01:36Iran is at the table.
01:37It is a tremendously successful foreign policy, and whatever the President decides, it will
01:43be successful.
01:44All right.
01:45Now, so we've got a lot of activity down here in the first row.
01:48And we just –
