00:00I really want to pick up on a couple of those points you just made there about the AI agreements, the F-35s.
00:07I mean, these are pieces of military hardware and tech that the United States doesn't just sell to anyone, does it?
00:16They don't. There are countries who wanted this hardware. The UAE, for example, I believe, has wanted this hardware.
00:23You know, look, Israel has this hardware. And obviously, it's a dynamic here.
00:27But I think what it shows is that President Trump, the United States, has great trust in Saudi Arabia, great respect for Saudi Arabia.
00:36And, you know, this is just building on that partnership.
00:38You know, I don't believe this sale would take place unless there is that trust with Saudi Arabia that the United States now has and has had for a number of years, of course.
00:48So, look, this is obviously a valuable sale to Saudi Arabia, but it's also a commitment, a commitment by the United States when it comes to defense purposes.
00:58You also saw President Trump talk about, you know, the importance of having kind of this NATO-like relationship, if you will, with Saudi Arabia.
01:06So, look, this is something that was important, I think, to Saudi Arabia for quite some time.
01:10Now this sale is going to take place of these F-35s.
01:13It's obviously a big deal.
01:15It's kind of the crown jewel, if you will, fighter jet that's out there.
