However, once the government reopens, the President, as he's always maintained, is absolutely open to having conversations about health care. And I think you'll see the President putting forth some really good policy proposals the Democrats should take very seriously to fix, again, the system that they broke. You can't trust the same people who broke the system to fix it. And so the American people will be continue to hear from the President on this issue. The Press is going to be a question about the $200,000 payments of tariff revenue. The President had also talked about using tariffs to bring down the national debt. Would this be in lieu of that? Like this is now the new way to maybe to use that tariff revenue? The President put out a statement on this clarifying he wants to do both things with the tariff revenue that he's bringing into this country. Trillions of dollars are expected to continue to pour in and it's part of the reason that the Supreme Court case is so vital for our country's future to restore our manufacturing industry in this country to protect our national security, to continue to allow the President to use tariffs as leverage to negotiate economic deals that are, again, are good for our national security and that revenue can then be used for various reasons to pay down our debt and also perhaps to give these rebate checks back to Americans, which, again, the White House is exploring the legal options of how we can get that done. Katherine, go ahead. The President and President Trump has promised Hungary some kind of financial shields to you and any details on how that will be structured and what that will look like. I don't, but I'm happy to check with the National Security Council and get back to you. One more. You recently said you'd check with President Trump about why he needs to get an MRI on his recent trip to Walter Reed. Do you think more detail on that? I do. And I'm glad you asked. As stated in the memo provided on October 10th, President Trump received advanced imaging at Walter Reed Medical Center as part of his routine physical examination. The full results were reviewed by attending radiologists and consultants and all agreed that President Trump remains an exceptional physical health, which I know all of you will see with your own eyes later this evening. When he opens up his dinner to the press and perhaps you will see him when he signs the bill to reopen the federal government. So stay tuned on plans for that. Thank you, everyone. All right.
