00:00And if I could ask one of the Agriculture Secretary, actually, there's a lot of concern about chlorinated chicken and the import of hormone-treated beef.
00:07Has that question been addressed, resolved in these talks, or is that something to be continuing negotiations?
00:12Well, you know, James.
00:14I would just say that it's very clear, and we have in the heads of terms, that we are going to discuss all of these types of issues.
00:21And obviously, the importing country, whether it's us or them, you've got to follow the rules on those types of things.
00:25But our point is, the rules need to make sure that they are based on science, and that's our expectation.
00:30We know the U.K. believes that, too, so we want to come to an accommodation.
00:34We want the consumers in each country to be able to choose what they want and give them the information that they need.
00:38We have an incredible EPA, led by Administrator Zeldin, that is on this.
00:43So the talks continue, but we are very, very confident in our products.
00:47And what the President has done to open up the markets is unprecedented for these farmers here in America.
00:55The President of Wall Street, as they watch this, I mean, you saw the stock market decline sharply after Liberation Day, and it's rallied back since then.
01:03Well, now it's going to really rally, because, you know, don't forget, they said this is all a pipe dream.
01:07And this is a tough one.
01:08This is, somebody would say, well, this is easy.
01:10This is much tougher, I think, than any other deal, because they've been at it for so many years, decades, trying to make this deal.
01:17And it's very conclusive, and it's a great deal, and it's a very big deal, actually.
01:21And, no, this is just the beginning.
01:23We're going to be having conferences, or at some point we won't have a conference.
01:27We'll just put out a statement that we just signed this country, that country.
01:31And after a number of these are done, nobody has enough people to do it.
01:36We're just going to put out, X country is going to pay this, and if they open up, they're going to do this and that.
01:42And they're going to be open up.
01:43Everybody wants to be, you know, I say this is where they want to be shopping.
01:47They want to shop in this country, because we have the consumer.
01:51And we have the consumer like nobody else.
01:53And, you know, if this country went bad, the whole world would go bad.
