I want to ask you a policy question.
Has the U.S. stopped sharing intel with Ukraine?
I'll have to get back to you on that.
We will take Peter Ducey.
Thanks, Katie. Nice to meet you.
You're starting as White House Press Secretary three weeks before
a midterm cycle that President Trump himself says will
be very tough for Republicans.
Is your job just to speak about White House matters,
or is it to make things less tough for Republicans in the midterms?
well but Peter, I get to do what I was doing
on the outside already which was hoping to amplify
multiply and expand upon President Trump's incredible agenda
for the American people
and what I hope to do in this position
is to take that into an official capacity
and only build on only amplify
and only multiply to the extent possible all of the wins he's making
for Americans, for for Americans to understand how much has changed
in this brief period of time what
he's been able to accomplish my goal is to be able
to communicate that in complete tandem with
the president as he is his own best spokesperson
and will absolutely be leading the way as with
that and I want to ask you a policy question has
the U.S. stopped sharing intel with Ukraine
I'll have to get back to you on that.
Katie.

Yes.

Hi.
Congrats on the job.
Thank you.
First of all, and I have two questions for you, if I can.
First of all, on Kimberly Guilfoyle,
the Daily Mail has been reporting on her since last
year.
The President said yesterday to reporters
that he is considering firing her.
Do you know a timeline for that?
And also, potentially,
who could be on the shortlist to replace her if he does?
We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign.
She has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well.
Okay.
Second question for you, if I may, a personal question.
Your family is in California, your husband, you have four children.
I'm wondering how you manage, how are you going to manage that?
Caroline Leavitt left because she wanted
to spend more time with her family.
Also, did she give you any advice on how to handle this job
and the people in this room?
Well, first of all, I want to give my husband an amazing shout-out.
We have four kids ranging from 12, 10, 8, and 6.
Three of them are boys, so we have a handful.
And I adore my family.
I love them.
They are my priority.
I love being with my kids.
The idea of not spending evenings
with my kids is completely unacceptable.
So my president, excuse me, my husband, that's a good one.
My husband is out here for the week
because we have two birthdays in our family and we
are very, very protective of celebrating birthdays as a family.
So he brought the entire crew out here, bless him, it's a lot.
And we will be moving out here.
And as far as your second question is, yes,
Caroline has been an incredible support.
She gave me great and wonderful feedback
on how to balance I think this job is
not one you necessarily balance
and I would love to share that in my career I
stayed home with my kids from 2014 to 2020
and in the process of having them
and then when I started working again I
was able to integrate them into my life
There are many photos of which are not public
of the kids and I at Foxborough
where they are sitting with me in the pod before a hit
so I intend to to the
extent possible include my family include my kids in my work though my
work will be demanding they will always be a priority
and I President Trump is
the most family-friendly president we've
ever had he has hired more women with
families and the fact that he knew I had four kids
and he knew that this job
would be demanding and still placed
his trust in me shows that I know I'm
capable of being able to step up
to that so thank you for that question in fact I
I am going to end it because President Trump
is heading out to Marine One for our historic trip to Alaska,
and we can ask him all of the questions out there.
So, thank you so much.
The President will be back on Thursday,
and that's what I will answer. I'll leave it there.
He will answer those questions
out in Marine One.
