00:00Who's on your short list, Mr. President, to replace Elise Stefanik as U.S. ambassador to the U.N.?

00:06So, we have a lot of good people that want it.

00:10First of all, Elise is fantastic.

00:12And I just don't want to take chances where you guys are saying,

00:14how is the election going?

00:16We have a congressional election that's a little bit close.

00:19I guess the one is in good shape, but the other one's a little bit close.

00:22But Randy Fine is a great guy.

00:25They're both good candidates. They're very good.

00:27But it's, you know, a little bit we want to be careful.

00:31And Elise is very popular in her district, and so am I.

00:35We won by a lot of points, and so did she.

00:38And there's a lot of people that wanted to run for it, but we have no idea.

00:43Are they going to win?

00:44I think it's just security.

00:45And I said, Elise, what about going back?

00:47Because they love you there, and she's going to take a big leadership position

00:52with Mike Johnson and the group, the speaker.

00:56And I can tell you that for the replacement,

01:01we have a lot of people that have asked about it and would like to do it.

01:04David Friedman, Rick Grinnell, and maybe 30 other people.

01:11Everyone loves that position.

01:13That's a star-making position.

01:15And so we'll see what happens.

01:17But we have a lot of people that are interested in going to the United Nations,

01:21as you can imagine.
