00:00Hello, everybody. Hi, everybody. Hi, guys. Good afternoon, everyone. It is such a pleasure to see

00:19so many beautiful faces in this room and so many future leaders. Hi, Eloise. You look so cute back

00:27there. I'm so excited to host this briefing today in honor of national Bring Your Kids to Work Day,

00:35and it's great to see so many future leaders here. Welcome to the James S. Brady Briefing Room. My

00:42name is Caroline Levitt, and I am the White House Press Secretary for President Donald J. Trump.

00:47He is the 45th and now the 47th President of the United States. My job at the White House is to

00:56communicate the President's message to the American people and to answer questions from

01:01journalists who work in this building every day, many of whom are your moms and your dads.

01:07Now, they asked me some pretty good questions, but I'm sure you will all have excellent questions to ask

01:12me yourselves. So before we open it up to questions today, I will give you a very short update on what

01:19the President is working on today. Earlier this morning, President Trump traveled to Capitol Hill

01:24to meet with members of the House of Representatives to talk about the one big, beautiful bill that we

01:31are trying to pass through Congress. The President is now back at the White House where he is taking

01:37meetings. And later this afternoon, he will be making an announcement from the Oval Office with our

01:43Secretary of Defense. He's in charge of our military, Pete Hegseth. So I want to thank all of you for coming

01:49today. It's great to have you here at the People's House. And you have some very special parents who

01:55perform a very special job. And we are here to make America great again. And we live in the best

02:02country in the history of the world. And we are all very blessed to be here. So with that, thank you.

02:08I am happy to take some of your questions. And why don't you start us off, beautiful little girl? Go ahead.

02:18What's your question to Mr. Trump? She's thinking very hard about it.

02:24You can ask it. You can ask it.

02:27She wants to know if Donald Trump likes to give hugs.

02:30Oh, does he like to give hugs? You know, I think he does. I have seen him give many hugs to children and

02:37his family and our beautiful first lady. So yes, I do think he likes to give hugs.

02:43You're welcome. Emily, would you like to ask a question?

02:49What is the funnest part about your job and the hardest part about your job?

02:54Wow. Well, that is definitely a very good question. I think the most fun part about my job is doing

03:01things like this with all of you in the briefing room and answering so many great questions.

03:06I think the hardest part of my job is also doing things like this in the briefing room

03:11and answering all of these questions. And reading the news is a big part of my job every day.

03:17I wake up and read the newspaper and watch the news and listen to all of the things that your

03:21parents are reporting on in the news. And that's a big part of my job every day.

03:26Frankie, go ahead.

03:27What is President Trump's favorite food? Well, President Trump loves a lot of different foods,

03:38but I think his favorite is probably steak. I've had steak on with him on many occasions and he likes

03:44to eat a big, beautiful steak. Do you like steak, Frankie? Yes? Okay. Jack, nice to see you.

03:55I like your hat. You're welcome. Would you like to ask a question?

03:59What's the state of the border?

04:00What's the state of the border?

04:02I can assure you the border is the most secure it has ever been in the history of our country.

04:08And I think your dad works for the Homeland Security Council. So that's a very apropos question.

04:14And your dad's doing a great job securing the border. Hazel Jane, what a beautiful name.

04:20Would you like to ask a question? Okay.

04:24Actually, can you come back to me? Sure. I can come back to you. I'd be happy to. Bobby Lynn?

04:31How many people has he fired? How many people has he fired?

04:45Thus far, actually, we have not had anyone fired with the exception of one individual who did leave

04:52their job. But we have a great team here so far. So good. Thank you for the question.

04:59Yes, little man. Is that your mommy? Your mommy is a great journalist. What's your question?

05:14What's Donald Trump's favorite ice cream? He wants to know.

05:19I have seen the president eat ice cream sundaes before with chocolate sauce and some toppings, too.

05:26Raise your hand if you like ice cream sundaes. It's a very popular policy position to have.

05:33Yes, very good. Dario, would you like to go?

05:36What is the president? If the president has a superpower, what would it be?

05:44Wow. If the president could have a superpower, what would it be? That is a very good question.

05:50I think if he had a superpower, it would be to just snap his fingers and solve all of our country's

05:56problems just like that because he likes to get things done very quickly. But sometimes it takes a

06:01little bit longer. Like today, he had to go to Capitol Hill to convince people to vote for his one big,

06:07beautiful bill. I bet if he had a superpower, he would snap his fingers and get it passed immediately.

06:12But life doesn't work that way, unfortunately. Go ahead, buddy.

06:18What is Donald Trump's favorite soccer player?

06:21Favorite soccer player? Hmm. You know, I don't know the answer to that. It's a very good question.

06:27I will check in with the president and get back to you. How's that sound?

06:31But I know he likes soccer and he likes all sports. Go ahead.

06:35Does he leave the country like each week? Does he leave the country each week? No,

06:41he doesn't. We left the country last week and we went on a long trip to the Middle East,

06:47very far away. But we have some plans to leave the country later this year. But most weeks,

06:53he's right here at the White House working very hard. Nora, go ahead.

06:56Which is Donald Trump's favorite president besides himself?

07:04That's a good question, because it would be probably himself. No, I think that

07:13perhaps he would say George Washington. I know he speaks very highly of George Washington,

07:19who was, of course, the first president of our great country. And he has his big, beautiful portrait

07:24hanging in the Oval Office above the fireplace. Good question. Go ahead. You look very professional

07:30and beautiful. Thank you so much. You're welcome. What's it like, what for you, I have a question for

07:35you. What is it like balancing a baby and your job as the press secretary at your age? Sure. It's a very

07:44good question. And my baby is here with my mother. As you can see, he does not know what's going on.

07:49But it is a challenge every day. But it's also a blessing to have this opportunity and to be a mom.

07:57So you have to learn to prioritize your time and lean on your support system, which is my mother and my

08:04husband and my family and friends. And you can do it. You just have to work very hard. Yes.

08:11Hi. My name is Horseli Victoria. My mom is Soriana Ferris. Nice to meet you. My question is,

08:19as press secretary, as the youngest press secretary, what advice would you give to young girls like me

08:25who want to achieve their dreams? That's a great question. And you're so beautiful. My best advice

08:31would be to work as hard as you possibly can and just pursue every opportunity that opens up and is

08:37given to you. And just work, work, work as hard as you can. You're welcome. Behind you. Yeah.

08:44What is Donald Trump going to do about climate change? What is Donald Trump going to do about

08:50climate change? Well, that is a very good question. The president cares very much about our environment.

08:56He says all the time he wants to have the cleanest air, the cleanest water, the cleanest environment

09:02for the world. He also cares very much about our energy independence and ensuring that we can keep

09:08the lights on in our homes at a very cheap rate. So we want to make energy here in the United States

09:13because we do it cleaner and better than everyone. So I think that's how the president would answer

09:18that question. You're welcome. Go ahead. What is your favorite country that you've been to before?

09:24What is my favorite country I've been to before? Oh, wow. That's a very good question. Well,

09:30um, I've been to many countries. I lived in Italy for a few months to study, but I very much enjoyed

09:36our trip last week to the Middle East where the president went to Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the

09:42United Arab Emirates. And they were three beautiful countries. We'll take a couple more questions to

09:47the back of that beautiful high hand. Go ahead. What was that, buddy? What pets did Donald Trump

10:03have when he growing up and also right now? Well, he doesn't have any pets right now. I don't know if

10:09he had any pets when he was growing up. I'll have to check with him and ask, but there's no pets at the

10:14White House right now, except for our great canine secret service dog friends that are here to protect

10:20us. Hazel Jan, did you remember your question? Yeah. Okay. Let's hear it. What's the president's religion?

10:25What's the president's religion? The president is a Christian and he believes in Jesus. Yes? In the back?

10:33What did the president do today? What did the president do today? The president was very busy today.

10:42He went to Capitol Hill earlier today and then he's here back at the White House and he's doing meetings

10:49and then he's going to do a big announcement at three o'clock where all of your moms and dads will

10:53be able to ask him questions directly. Go ahead, buddy. How much candy does he eat today?

11:12How much candy does he eat today? A good amount. A good amount of candy, yes. He likes pink starburst

11:20in Tootsie Rolls. Yes, buddy. Go ahead. We'll take two more. What's the president's favorite

11:26order at McDonald's? The president's favorite order at McDonald's. He loves McDonald's hamburgers

11:33and french fries. Who doesn't? They're good. In the back. Go ahead, bud. What's your least

11:39favorite news outlet? My least favorite what? News outlet.

11:43I can tell you're a staff kid, not a journalist. Did someone say ABC? Honestly, it depends on the day.

11:59Go ahead, honey. What is Trump's favorite room in the White House? Favorite room in the White House? I think his

12:08favorite room in the White House is definitely the Oval Office because it's so beautiful and he

12:13has decked it out in gold. It's now MAGA gold in there. Yes, go ahead. One more. What's his favorite

12:25child? That is a very controversial question and I am not going to answer it. I know he loves all of

12:34his children very much and they're all great kids. Some of them were here yesterday. We'll do one more

12:39to the little girl in the back behind you. Yes. Who's your favorite president? Who's my favorite

12:45president? Well, that's a good question to answer. Donald Trump. Thank you guys so very much. It's good
