So I had kind of less day-to-day responsibilities in the White House.

And so for me, this effort became one of my full-time efforts along with negotiating the Mexico trade deal and along with the Middle East efforts.

And the reason why that was great was because it didn't have a lot of support from the Republican caucus originally, and people thought there was no way it would happen.

So I really was able to be the chief executive officer

the middle executive, the low executive, the intern.

And through that process, I really got an education on how Congress works, on how to pass legislation.

I was negotiating texts.

I was negotiating back and forth.

And I built a lot of trust.

Again, I would deal with, whether it's Hakeem Jeffries or Cedric Richmond, we built a lot of trust.

We'd speak three times a day.

These guys had my back.

The ACLU, again, I never thought they were suing our administration every day or every other day on something.

But for whatever reason, we built trust and we were able to work together.

And then also with the real conservative groups, because there was a lot, a big part of the conservative base that felt like we should be giving people a second chance.

And in addition to that, this will keep our country safer and it will reduce the cost of what we spend on prisons.

And so it was a great effort and I was very, very proud that we're able to get it done under President Trump.

Hand-to-hand combat, meetings.

You know, like the cool thing about this, so everyone always says, I always get frustrated when I hear a lawmaker say, oh, the Senate's not what it used to be or Congress isn't what it used to be.

Things are broken today.
