00:00Thanks, Caroline. Now that the President's reciprocal tariffs are here going into effect tomorrow, what's the status of the ERS?
00:09When will they actually start collecting revenue, and will that be nested under CBP or somewhere else entirely?
00:16It's something Secretary Lutnik has taken up, so I'd defer you to the Department of Commerce, but it's something that he and the President believe quite strongly in, and it's something, it's a promise that they intend to keep to the American government.
00:26Real quickly, can you explain why the President opted to send Secretary Hegseff to the dignified transfer last week instead of attending himself?
00:35Sure. The Secretary Hegseff was there to represent the administration. The President has expressed his condolences to these families, as have I from this podium. Shelby.
