Now we're protected by U.S.

Secret Service.

And I'm so grateful to the men and women who take care of my family, took care of my father, protected him, and risking their own lives to do so and now do so for me and my children.

So very grateful.

To all of them.

But it's scary.

We live in very troubling times.

And, like, you know, the fact that there is a correlation between service and violence is –

is terrible in and of itself, but that's the world we live in.

So I have to acknowledge that reality and defend my family as best I can and make sure they're protected.

And I'm very fortunate the Secret Service are the best in the world at doing that.

I was in Bedminster, New Jersey, and...

There was a lot of commotion and the televisions were on, so I saw it almost immediately.

Not in my house.

I actually don't love watching television.

But out by the pool in the bistro.

And it was almost real time.

It was before he had stood back up.

that I had seen what was transpiring and two of my children were there.

So, you know, my first reaction was to turn them away.
