00:00So it's not easy as a working mom, but I feel like I wouldn't be able to be good at this job

00:06if I was not a mother. And I say that because I think being a wife and a mom is always my number

00:13one priority and it really grounds me in this job. And, you know, there's a lot of criticism

00:19that comes with being the president's spokeswoman and I could care less about it because I know I

00:24have a husband and a baby who just want to hang out with me and play toys and they, you know,

00:29he just wants to snuggle and have me be his mom. And what was happening up here is now that we have

00:35taken over the responsibilities of the National Security Council, thanks to the restructuring

00:46all communications matters, including national security. And so we felt it became very inappropriate

01:10started to pick up on that and we'd walk out and they would be out there trying to listen.
