00:00So, Mr. Franco, what would you expect his priorities to be for the next 100 days?

00:04I think the next 100 days are going to be focused largely on two, and domestically, on two issues.

00:10The first is, and we've seen the first indications, of making trade deals as we have with the UK.

00:16It's not a complete cancellation of the tariffs, as you know.

00:20There's still 10% tariffs on some items and so forth, but it's certainly a step in the right direction.

00:25The market reacted as such, investors, and of course, that's been the message as well for the United Kingdom.

00:31So, if we move on the economic front, and I say that in terms of international tariffs and so forth,

00:39talks in China that are taking place and so forth, and moving in that right direction,

00:45I think we're going to see the next 100 days move, I think, significantly better for the American people.

00:51The other, of course, is the agenda in Congress, which is a big, beautiful bill,

00:57which the president has referred to, which is a reduction in taxes beyond the extension of the 2017 Trump tax cuts.

01:06And if he delivers on no tax on tips and no tax on overtime for middle and lower income Americans particularly,

01:15that will be a big boom.
