could do the job i think so what do you think carolyn i like it
is caroline levitt replaceable no she's not she really isn't she's standing right over there and
she's done a great job but you have somebody in mind she likes her children more than she likes
trump i'm very concerned about that it's a lot to juggle right and you said you support that going
back is there somebody you have in mind that you'd like to see up at the podium to take over you how
about you she could do the job i think so what do you think carolyn i like it i've always liked you
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
we see alexis you have done a great job i appreciate it thank you very much anything
else that i didn't ask you you wanted to make news in this interview
in fact i've talked to the presidential personnel office who has told me directly that there is
such an influx of resumes for this administration that it's incredibly overwhelming there is no lack
of talent for the trump administration there's a massive shake-up at the white house happening
white house press secretary caroline levitt has announced that she's leaving to spend more time
with her family she of course only recently had her second child just a few months ago and she says
that being a mother and welcoming a new baby while working in one of the most demanding jobs in the
world has been the most rewarding yet challenging season of her life so we'll unpack all of this in
just a moment including what the president has had to say who of course will have to replace her
and what this means for the republicans coming into the midterms but first of all let me just say
what a phenomenal job caroline levitt has done a 28 year old mom and one of the most high profile
communications positions in the world always across the detail an amazing fearless voice for the trump
administration and she was never afraid to shut down questions from journalists who were seriously
trump deranged just have a look at this so if there were peaceful protests on saturday for the military
parade president trump would allow that of course the president supports peaceful protests what a stupid
question raquel it really was and here's caroline levitt calling out the most unfunny comedian jimmy
kimmel abc's late night host jimmy kimmel disgustingly called first lady melania trump an expectant widow
who in their right minds says a wife would be glowing over the potential murder of her beloved husband
and having experienced what i did with the first lady on saturday night i can tell you that she was
anything but that this kind of rhetoric about the president the first lady and his supporters is
completely deranged and it's unbelievable that the american people are consuming it night after night
after night as president trump said on saturday night at this podium we as americans must recommit
ourselves to resolving our differences peacefully and uniting around the shared values that make our country
great the deranged lies and smears against the president his family his supporters have led crazy
people to believe crazy things and they are inspired to commit violence because of those words it has to
stop so well said and caroline levitt would often have to tell journalists to do their job such as when
the media basically went silent following the death of arena zarutska many outlets in this room decided that
her murder was not worth reporting on originally because it does not fit a preferred narrative many of
the journalists in this room spilled plenty of ink trying to smear daniel penny for defending a subway
car from a deranged lunatic in new york city but none of those same reporters lift a finger to write
stories about an actual murderer here is the truth that every american must know too many innocent people
across the country continue to pay the price of the failed experiment known as cashless bail that has
been championed by the democrat party for years and he is one of caroline levitt's exchanges with cnn's
caitlin collins on the layoff of federal workers potentially the president said yesterday that
democrats will be to blame if federal workers lose their jobs historically though in past shutdowns workers
have been furloughed that they have not been laid off in mass so wouldn't that be the president's call
to lay people off as i've said repeatedly caitlin this conversation about layoffs would not be
happening right now if the democrats did not vote to shut the government down and as i also said last
briefing as well we are 37 trillion dollars in debt and the government is not receiving any cash so
someone has to look at the balance sheet and be good stewards of the american taxpayer dollar
and caroline caroline levitt rather was not afraid to be fiery
he saved and acted recklessly until they're unjustified oh okay so you're a biased reporter
with a left-wing opinion what do you want me to do yeah because you're a left-wing hack you're not a
reporter you're posing in this room as a journalist and it's so clear by the premise of your question
and you and the people in the media who have such biases but fake like you're a journalist you
shouldn't even be sitting in that seat but you're pretending like you're a journalist but you're a
left-wing activist we are going to miss her aren't we now this is a bit more of what she has said
publicly in her announcement she said serving as the white house press secretary over the past year
and a half has been the honor and adventure of a lifetime most of all i'm thankful to the president
for entrusting me with the distinct privilege of speaking on his behalf at the white house podium
the truth is since returning to the white house after the birth of my daughter i have felt in my heart
that i cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time energy
and attention required of the white house press secretary and that is why i have ultimately made
the bittersweet decision to depart the white house and embark on a new chapter in my life president trump
has asked me to continue serving as a top advisor to him on the outside and i will always remain a vocal
advocate for maga and the republican party our country is facing an existential threat from an
increasingly extremist democrat party that seeks to destroy everything great about america and i
believe it is incumbent upon all of us who care about this country to fight back against that threat
my fight is entering a new phase but it is far from over thank you again to the president the first
lady in the entire trump family for your kindness and generosity over the years thank you to our
amazing chief of staff susie wiles for empowering me since the day she hired me on the campaign and to
the president's cabinet my staff colleagues and friends at the white house who work so hard on behalf of
our nation it has been a privilege to serve alongside so many accomplished and impressive people and i look
forward to cheering them on over the next two and a half years and of course thank you most especially
to my loving and supportive husband and family for the sacrifices they made for me to serve in this role
this is certainly going to be very difficult for donald trump i have to say he's previously said that
no one can replace caroline lever what's caroline doing she's doing good caroline be replaced no
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
the skin and those lips they look like a machine man right do you want to elaborate
he's not wrong that was donald trump speaking in october last year and he is praising her
again today saying that he respects the decision that she has made he posted our wonderful white
house press secretary and one of my most trusted aides caroline lever will be departing her role at
the end of the month so she can spend more time with her beautiful young children and family a decision
i totally understand and respect caroline will now be one of my top outside advisors and an
influential voice within the republican party as we work to defy history and conclusively win the
midterm elections caroline has been a real leader in the white house and has done a phenomenal job
fighting for justice liberty and freedom since 2018 including our historic re-election campaign of 2024
caroline has been one of the best white house press secretaries in the history of the office thank
you caroline for a job well done president donald j trump
