00:00Mr. President, would you have liked to have known
00:02that Katie Zachariah didn't pass a bar,
00:04and how would you rate her performance?
00:06The President Well, Katie's been treated
00:07very badly by the media.
00:09Very, very badly.
00:10Very unfairly, I think.
00:11And I just spoke to her about it.
00:13I said, Katie, is this for you?
00:15Because, you know, she's been treated very rough.
00:18And she's a nice person.
00:20Very nice person.
00:21I've watched her for years on television.
00:23But I said, is this for you, Katie?
00:25Because, honestly, you don't need this.
00:28You don't have to be treated.
00:30I would say the fake news, but just generally,
00:33the media has been very rough.
00:35She was on Sean Hannity last night,
00:37and Sean was a little bit tough.
00:40And she did.
00:41I saw Fox and Friends this morning.
00:43They were a little tough.
00:44She's been treated, I would say, pretty nastily.
00:49And I said to Katie just two minutes ago, I said,
00:52Katie, you know, you don't have to do this if you don't want.
00:55She said, this is a lot tougher.
00:58I said, welcome to the world of Trump.
01:00Are you going to be treated?
01:01And she's been treated roughly, you know.
01:03I said, do you want to really live like this?
01:06I don't think they'll ever ease up.
01:08And, you know, Caroline did a very good job.
01:11I think Katie maybe would do.
01:12But Katie is off to a start that the news has been so nasty to her.
01:18I've never seen anything like it, actually.
01:19The Press is she reconsidering?
01:20And I said to her, honestly, if I were you, I'd reconsider.
01:24You'd think about it.
01:25But I would reconsider.
01:27She got a beautiful husband and family.
01:29I met the family yesterday.
01:30Beautiful kids.
01:31It's like from a picture postcard.
01:33And I said, you should reconsider because you don't want to go through this.
01:36The Press is what you want her to do.
01:38The President is I just want her to be happy.
01:40Look, she has suffered over the last few days.
01:44And I'm not saying, you know, maybe it's not for her.
01:48But I said, you want to be happy in life, I'll do whatever she wants.
01:54How much time are you going to give her?
01:55Do you want her to stick around, ultimately?
01:57I'll talk to her when I get back.
01:59We're going over to, we have a big, big rally, lots of cars, lots of people, big crowds.
02:04You know that.
02:05And I'll talk to her tonight or tomorrow.
02:08I just said, I think you should reconsider because I think the press is really being very unfair.
02:14Have you been briefed on the school shooting in Oregon?
02:17And I said, Katie, do you need this?
02:19I don't think you need this.
02:20And we're talking about doing something.
02:23We like Katie a lot.
02:24I think she's been really, really treated very unfairly.
02:28Are you saying you're talking about firing her?
02:30Not, no, no.
02:31We're talking about, I want her to have a good life.
02:34I don't want to have a life like she's led in the last three days.
02:37She is being brutalized by the media.
02:40I think very unfairly, but she's been brutalized by the media.
02:43So, I said, when I get back, we're going to Georgia right now.
02:47We have a tremendous crowd of people, like, record-setting.
02:51You know these, I don't know if you know it.
02:52These rallies are turning everything around.
02:55These rallies are legendary.
02:56Okay, would Katie continue to be in the administration?
03:00Yeah.
03:00Yeah?
03:01Would she stay in some form?
03:03Maybe a more pleasant form.
03:06I'll have anybody else on your list for potential press secretaries?
03:10A lot of people want the job.
03:11I'll bet you'd want it if I offered it to you.
03:14But a lot of people would want that job.
03:18But I just think the press has been very tough on Katie.
03:21And I said, there's no reason for you to have to go there.
03:23You've got a beautiful family, fantastic husband and kids.
03:27And I told her, I said, you should have to go there.
03:30So, we'll make a determination for her.
03:31Were you upset that she didn't disclose passing the bar or not passing the bar?
03:36Well, I wasn't hiring her to be a lawyer.
03:38I was hiring her to be a president.
03:39But nobody really went crazy over that.
03:43I would say it probably wouldn't have mattered.
03:45I would say it probably wouldn't have mattered.
03:45How'd you be a工 er nitty?
03:46That's why I becameающpass.
