[00:26:40] Speaker B: And a visible one. It seems like truth Social Post Kitiya after having a conversation with the Mexican president we just spoke to President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico. It was a very friendly conversation wherein she agreed to immediately supply 10,000 Mexican soldiers to the border separating Mexico and the United States. These soldiers will be specifically designated to stop the flow of fentanyl and illegal migrants into our country. Finale further agreed to pause the anticipated tariffs for a one month period during which we will have negotiations headed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Treasury Scott Besant and Secretary of Commerce Howard Letnick and high level representatives of Mexico. I look forward to participating and blah blah blah as we attempt to reach a deal between the two countries.
