So I did prepare a binder for the first briefing. My great assistant Keegan put it together. And then I showed up to work and it was like this thick. And I was like, I can't even move this.

Exactly. And so that's been my method of preparation. No nerves involved. The first briefing, I was certainly nervous. I think any human would, and I'm not afraid to admit that.

It was, you know, once I got up there, I realized, okay, like I can do this. I know what I need to know. And, um, Now I feel very comfortable and confident and I will never get complacent because I understand the weight of the responsibility on my shoulders speaking on behalf of the President of the United States.
