00:00Is it still the administration's policy that physicals are done annually?

00:05Yes, that is just like every other President has done before this President.

00:10We're going to continue to uphold that.

00:12So it would be fair to us to assume that, as of now, his next expected physical would be next year?

00:17It would be next year. The last one was in February.

00:20Can you clarify for us – forgive me, I might have missed it –

00:24for my design, he will or he won't go to the Philippines?

00:27Say that one more time?

00:28He will or he won't go to the Philippines?

00:29I don't have any engagement to share.

00:30As you know, NATO is front of mind.

00:32That's what he's focused on.

00:33You saw that letter that came out from the President.

00:36He's going to be focusing on the more than 30 world leaders

00:39that are coming here for the 75th anniversary of NATO,

00:42continuing to show the strength of our alliance.

00:45I think it is something that the President is very much looking forward to,

00:49and you'll certainly hear from the President on Thursday

00:52when he gives his press conference, his big boy press conference,

00:55as your colleague Justin has stated many times.

00:59We shouldn't expect, then, some sort of big outreach push

01:03to the Democratic Party?

01:04I mean, look, we have shared – I just shared that he has done

01:08dozens of calls – not just calls, but also face-to-face,

01:13as he did in Pennsylvania.

01:15His team, campaign side, they're going to do their thing.

01:19We're going to do our thing on our side.

01:21And he respects tremendously Congress,

01:26and so he's in regular contact with them,

01:29and that's what you're going to continue to see.

01:31All right.

01:32Thanks, everybody.

01:33Thanks, everyone.
