Transcript

Okay. So there's no microphone because the pool cameras aren't there. So maybe Tim, this is one example of it backfiring just a little bit. Um, pick up on some of the things that Michael was saying and, um, obviously the ramifications are right here. Can't hear what the president's saying.
