Yes.

So it was very, very helpful.

And I know you're so good at all of this, so you get it.

And then going to law school, I also saw, and also being in DC, it's such a relationship-driven town.

Most people are not from there.

And so-

many people come to Washington and they have the academic credentials, but it's the people who are a team player, who are loyal, who are trustworthy, who you can depend on.

Those are the people that ultimately rise.

And I also would see things like

people would make requests or they would say things that I would think like if they only knew just a little bit better, they wouldn't do that.

Yes.

And I won't disclose everything here, but so a part of our office, we managed all the president's documents.

So that included speeches.

And no person anywhere knows how to pronounce anything.

I definitely learned that as I was recording my audio book.

There are so many words that I wrote that I wasn't sure how to pronounce, whether it's names, places, things, all these things.

And so if you're on remarks, it's your job to make sure that there's a phonetic for any word that the president may not know.

And there was a word in one of the speeches that I was responsible for that I did not put a phonetic in.

And it was something that I just – it was an oversight on my part.

And the president pronounced it incorrectly, and it became this whole story.
