00:00If we could just step back for a second, when President Trump last addressed the BRT when
00:05he was on the campaign trail, his big push was on tax cuts.
00:09He's going there today as he's proposing tax hikes in the form of tariffs.
00:13Not true.
00:14And I'm curious for why he's prioritizing that over the tax cuts.
00:18He's actually not implementing tax hikes.

01:11I now regret giving a question to the Associated Press.
01:14Mary, go ahead.
01:15Hi, Caroline.
01:16I have two of them, okay?
01:17The first one was on Russia-Ukraine.
01:19I know Special Envoy Whitcoff said yesterday that Zelensky apologized in his letter to
01:24Trump.
01:25Can you share any more about that letter, and what else might be interesting from it
01:28that we don't know?
01:29Yes, the President did reference that letter, as you're saying, in his joint address to
01:32Congress.
01:34And I do have an...
