Do you have any numbers yet? On the number of people who have accepted the buyout, do you have an even fake number of how many people are accepting it? Any numbers at all? I don't have an exact number for you, and I wouldn't want to give you an inaccurate estimate. That's a good question, and you should get a number soon, I hope. But I will tell you that the initial briefings that I've received suggest that a large number of federal workers have accepted the buyout offer. And I think the point here, to really underscore, is that federal workers who are not happy in their jobs, who don't want to show up at work, who do not want to be in the office, who are not passionate about what they're doing, are obviously not the kind of federal worker you want, responsible for having enormous authority over the lives of the American people. And so this is happening in conjunction with a wholesale reform of the hiring process in the federal government to find people who are really dedicated to service at the absolute highest level. Can you confirm that the administration has ordered some federal workers across some agencies to drop pronouns in your emails as, of course, part of the executive orders? Yes, I believe that the directive you're referring to is consistent with the president's day one executive order on recognizing that there are only male and female sexes in the country, and that, well, in the world, for all of humanity, but his authority is just on this country. And that your sex is your biological sex, that it's one in the second. Can you confirm that the president is meeting with the president of NVIDIA today? I don't have any update on that, sorry.

Can we ask you? Yes. Can we ask you? Can we ask you? Yes. Can we ask you on how you're viewing the rollout of tomorrow's tariffs and how conversations with Mexico and Canada in particular are progressing at this point, given some of the comments we've heard from their leaders today in preparation for their own plans? Well, I mean, as far as the rollout, I mean, did you clarify what you mean by the rollout? Are you considering Section 232 tariffs as part of this? Oh, I don't want to get into the details. It's not for me to brief on what the details of how this is going to be done are. But there have obviously been long-standing trade imbal ances with these trading partners that have been long- running and systemic and that affect our national security by eroding our defense industrial base and eroding our manufacturing base. And also, there are even graver concerns with national security and public safety, in particular, although not limited to fentanyl, which, of course, is a weapon of mass destruction in this country. And it's killing more Americans than have died in our wars overseas throughout our nation's history. And we know that there is a sophisticated network of criminal cartels operating on our border that traffic fent anyl in the United States. And we also know that the precursors to make that fentanyl is coming from overseas. And so you have a wide array of entities and organizations that have infiltrated our country and that are killing our citizens en masse. And we know
