1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,000
could do the job i think so what do you think carolyn i like it

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:44,400
is caroline levitt replaceable no she's not she really isn't she's standing right over there and

3
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:49,200
she's done a great job but you have somebody in mind she likes her children more than she likes

4
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,120
trump i'm very concerned about that it's a lot to juggle right and you said you support that going

5
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:58,160
back is there somebody you have in mind that you'd like to see up at the podium to take over you how

6
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:04,000
about you she could do the job i think so what do you think carolyn i like it i've always liked you

7
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,560
that's why i'm doing this i don't do this that often i get off i make a speech here i come off and

8
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,560
we see alexis you have done a great job i appreciate it thank you very much anything

9
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,680
else that i didn't ask you you wanted to make news in this interview

10
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:29,680
in fact i've talked to the presidential personnel office who has told me directly that there is

11
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,880
such an influx of resumes for this administration that it's incredibly overwhelming there is no lack

12
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:49,200
of talent for the trump administration there's a massive shake-up at the white house happening

13
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:54,320
white house press secretary caroline levitt has announced that she's leaving to spend more time

14
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,920
with her family she of course only recently had her second child just a few months ago and she says

15
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:05,920
that being a mother and welcoming a new baby while working in one of the most demanding jobs in the

16
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:11,920
world has been the most rewarding yet challenging season of her life so we'll unpack all of this in

17
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:17,840
just a moment including what the president has had to say who of course will have to replace her

18
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,800
and what this means for the republicans coming into the midterms but first of all let me just say

19
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,400
what a phenomenal job caroline levitt has done a 28 year old mom and one of the most high profile

20
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:35,200
communications positions in the world always across the detail an amazing fearless voice for the trump

21
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:41,200
administration and she was never afraid to shut down questions from journalists who were seriously

22
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:47,760
trump deranged just have a look at this so if there were peaceful protests on saturday for the military

23
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,400
parade president trump would allow that of course the president supports peaceful protests what a stupid

24
00:02:52,400 --> 00:03:00,160
question raquel it really was and here's caroline levitt calling out the most unfunny comedian jimmy

25
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:07,920
kimmel abc's late night host jimmy kimmel disgustingly called first lady melania trump an expectant widow

26
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:14,320
who in their right minds says a wife would be glowing over the potential murder of her beloved husband

27
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,960
and having experienced what i did with the first lady on saturday night i can tell you that she was

28
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:24,400
anything but that this kind of rhetoric about the president the first lady and his supporters is

29
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:30,160
completely deranged and it's unbelievable that the american people are consuming it night after night

30
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:36,240
after night as president trump said on saturday night at this podium we as americans must recommit

31
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:42,400
ourselves to resolving our differences peacefully and uniting around the shared values that make our country

32
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:48,960
great the deranged lies and smears against the president his family his supporters have led crazy

33
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:55,920
people to believe crazy things and they are inspired to commit violence because of those words it has to

34
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:03,440
stop so well said and caroline levitt would often have to tell journalists to do their job such as when

35
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:11,360
the media basically went silent following the death of arena zarutska many outlets in this room decided that

36
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:17,840
her murder was not worth reporting on originally because it does not fit a preferred narrative many of

37
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:23,920
the journalists in this room spilled plenty of ink trying to smear daniel penny for defending a subway

38
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:30,160
car from a deranged lunatic in new york city but none of those same reporters lift a finger to write

39
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:36,720
stories about an actual murderer here is the truth that every american must know too many innocent people

40
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:43,440
across the country continue to pay the price of the failed experiment known as cashless bail that has

41
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:50,560
been championed by the democrat party for years and he is one of caroline levitt's exchanges with cnn's

42
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:56,240
caitlin collins on the layoff of federal workers potentially the president said yesterday that

43
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,920
democrats will be to blame if federal workers lose their jobs historically though in past shutdowns workers

44
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,240
have been furloughed that they have not been laid off in mass so wouldn't that be the president's call

45
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,040
to lay people off as i've said repeatedly caitlin this conversation about layoffs would not be

46
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:16,640
happening right now if the democrats did not vote to shut the government down and as i also said last

47
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:22,720
briefing as well we are 37 trillion dollars in debt and the government is not receiving any cash so

48
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,200
someone has to look at the balance sheet and be good stewards of the american taxpayer dollar

49
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,760
and caroline caroline levitt rather was not afraid to be fiery

50
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,520
he saved and acted recklessly until they're unjustified oh okay so you're a biased reporter

51
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,240
with a left-wing opinion what do you want me to do yeah because you're a left-wing hack you're not a

52
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,120
reporter you're posing in this room as a journalist and it's so clear by the premise of your question

53
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:52,160
and you and the people in the media who have such biases but fake like you're a journalist you

54
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,160
shouldn't even be sitting in that seat but you're pretending like you're a journalist but you're a

55
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:02,080
left-wing activist we are going to miss her aren't we now this is a bit more of what she has said

56
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:07,920
publicly in her announcement she said serving as the white house press secretary over the past year

57
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:14,240
and a half has been the honor and adventure of a lifetime most of all i'm thankful to the president

58
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,960
for entrusting me with the distinct privilege of speaking on his behalf at the white house podium

59
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:24,160
the truth is since returning to the white house after the birth of my daughter i have felt in my heart

60
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:30,400
that i cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time energy

61
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:36,160
and attention required of the white house press secretary and that is why i have ultimately made

62
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:41,840
the bittersweet decision to depart the white house and embark on a new chapter in my life president trump

63
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:48,400
has asked me to continue serving as a top advisor to him on the outside and i will always remain a vocal

64
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:54,560
advocate for maga and the republican party our country is facing an existential threat from an

65
00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:00,640
increasingly extremist democrat party that seeks to destroy everything great about america and i

66
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:06,480
believe it is incumbent upon all of us who care about this country to fight back against that threat

67
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:12,000
my fight is entering a new phase but it is far from over thank you again to the president the first

68
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:17,840
lady in the entire trump family for your kindness and generosity over the years thank you to our

69
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:24,080

70
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:30,240
the president's cabinet my staff colleagues and friends at the white house who work so hard on behalf of

71
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:36,160

73

to my loving and supportive husband and family for the sacrifices they made for me to serve in this role

74
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,720
this is certainly going to be very difficult for donald trump i have to say he's previously said that

75
00:07:52,720 --> 00:08:01,040
no one can replace caroline lever what's caroline doing she's doing good caroline be replaced no

76
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:09,600
no that's up to you sir nobody wants to i said she does a great job um do you want to elaborate on the

77
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:14,400
the skin and those lips they look like a machine man right do you want to elaborate

78
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,960
he's not wrong that was donald trump speaking in october last year and he is praising her

79
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:24,400

i totally understand and respect caroline will now be one of my top outside advisors and an

83
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:45,360
influential voice within the republican party as we work to defy history and conclusively win the

84
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:51,360
midterm elections caroline has been a real leader in the white house and has done a phenomenal job

85
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:58,960
fighting for justice liberty and freedom since 2018 including our historic re-election campaign of 2024

86
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:04,960
