00:06And I will say there's very few people that have gotten three, four, five, even sometimes six jobs.

00:13Rarely has a librarian been elevated to secretary of state.

00:18However, we have an incredible rock star in Secretary Rubio.

00:24One of the president's favorite lines is that he was born for this job.

00:30And having traveled with him around the world from the Vatican to the Middle East and everywhere in between, I can attest to that.

01:19So I think maybe he thinks I'm a good archivist.
