00:06From what pact?

00:07USMCA.

00:08No, no, it's fine. It's there. It's good.

00:11We use it for certain things. It's there.

00:13The USMCA is a good deal for everybody.

00:17I won't say this about Mark, but I didn't like his predecessor.

00:21I didn't like a person that worked.

00:23She was terrible, actually.

00:24She was a terrible person.

00:25And she really hurt that deal very badly because she tried to take advantage of the deal and she didn't get away with it.

00:33You know what I'm talking about.

00:35But so, you know, I had a we had a bad we had a bad relationship having to do with the fact that we disagreed with the way they viewed the deal.
