00:00 Thank you guys. Thank you so much Jake. Okay, let's continue. The Supreme Court today unveiled a code of ethics on justices. There's been a lot of scrutiny of justices, conflicts of interest. Has the President had a chance to review that? Does he have a position on it? Does he believe it goes far enough?
00:27 I'm not going to add more to or go beyond what the President has said already in the ProPublica interview that he shared when we talked about, when he was asked about the Supreme Court ethics.
00:40 So there are ethics rules that apply to other and lower federal courts obviously. And so obviously the American people have the right to expect those who are serving in high office to meet high ethics and transparency, obviously standards.
00:56 And so, but I don't have beyond that. I know the President has talked about this recently.
