00:00Do I have anything to say?
00:01Based on the little – based on the insight that you have, do you have any indication
00:05when Secretary would have received a call from the President this morning, last night,
00:10anything?
00:11No, I can't – I can't reveal the nature of the details of any exchanges like that.
00:14Can I just – I just –
00:15All right.
00:16So now – yes, back to you in a moment.
00:17Matt is – are you – you're not ready?
00:20He's relaxing at this point.
00:21I – I –
00:22All right.
00:23That's fine.
00:24That helps me – that helps me know where we need to go.
00:26Yes, go ahead here.
00:27Can you help us understand why this reshuffle is happening?
00:30What it says about the Administration's policy priorities that these moves are taking place?
00:34I think what it says is what his first term said to people, is this is a man who is very
00:40active, day-to-day, involved, knows what he wants to accomplish.
00:43Things also sometimes change.
00:45I'm not going to guess at the decisions President Trump makes.
00:49What we do know is the results of those decisions.
00:51And I've said a few times in this room, as people try to look at the minutiae of necessarily
00:57the why or how many of one thing or a piece of gossip in a newspaper, that what really
01:03matters is the end result and what gets delivered.
01:06And I think that it is – for all of us, whether it's any kind of business, is being able to
01:12be flexible in a dynamic, in a moment, when you feel the need to be flexible.
01:18Clearly this is the President's decision, and he made it for a reason, and I trust him,
01:21and the American people will see the results.
01:22All right.
01:23Yeah.
01:24Go ahead, please.
