the best way to get something done
if you if it holds near and dear to you
that you
like to be able to anyway
i'm we're going to get a lot done when i
was the united states senator
i mean vice president am i giving you
too long an answer because if you don't
want the detail
no but i mean i i don't know how much
detail you want about immigration
okay um where am i here
let me see
oh i'm sorry that's a little painful
there was just a few of the moments
where president biden really stumbled in
his first news conference yesterday
dana perino with us now dana you was
the white house press secretary under
george w bush
dana good to see you good to see you too
okay my first reaction to the
president's press conference was he
looked tired
confused and that frankly made me a
little anxious
about the president of the united states
what say you
well you know his people were out on
television last night and today saying
that he did a fantastic job
for me i feel like joe biden needed to
do fine
yesterday and i think that fine was good
enough and i think that's
what he did um i know that there are
certain things certainly things you can
pick apart and and there were moments
where you think gosh is he going to get
to the
point here i thought his answers on
immigration were actually not that good
um he had some better answers to seem to
come alive a little bit when talking
about voting rights and the filibuster
made some news there overall i don't
think you'll see
many of these press conferences from joe
biden and i think part of the reason is
that if they look at
the objectives that they are trying to
achieve they're actually
meeting those goals without having to do
press conferences so i don't think
you'll see a lot of these going forward
when you took the podium with george w
bush and you looked out over the white
house press corps
i bet you saw something very different
from what
we saw in the east room of the white
house yesterday
it was all women yesterday almost all
women
and with you when you looked out it was
men it's so interesting i mean there
were a few more women of course when i
was press secretary there in terms of
reporters in the room but yeah the
majority were men and i was
even observing that when i was a little
kid um and i you know
oh my gosh these pictures are horrible
but when i was a little kid
i loved watching the press conferences
but anybody in the media or anybody who
worked in the white house
it was men and that was just the way it
was and watching the press conference
yesterday i was like
wow and i asked peter ducey about that
he said he noticed it too and he said
there are about three report
male reporters in the room um it just
shows that you know women have made
remarkable strides
and i thought cecilia vega of abc news
asked some pretty tough questions on
immigration partly because she had
recently been to the border
and talked to some of those migrants and
had an interaction with a child that
really affected her
okay in a moment i'm going to show the
audience you and i
with hannity years ago those are the
days we had the best segments
it was fun but before we get there i
want to talk about your book
okay everything the title is everything
will be okay
life lessons for young women from a
former young woman
i like that what's the best career
advice you've ever been given
uh it's really good i would say it
actually probably came from president
george w
bush and it was when i was trying to
make this transition from white house
days
into the private sector and i'd signed
up with the pr firm i didn't love it and
he asked me
you know why don't i start my own
business and i had all of these reasons
uh that i shouldn't and he wasn't
persuaded by that and he said
you have to ask yourself what's the
worst thing that could happen
and be really honest about that it's the
worst thing and he said you're telling
me the worst thing is you
not succeed and then have to work for
another pr firm and he just wasn't
persuaded that that would be a terrible
thing
um so i took the leap and it was a great
advice and i did that
but my favorite advice in the book
there's lots of it so probably
maybe a little bit too much advice i had
lots to say but i also said that
choosing to be loved and
making a commitment to a life partner is
not a career limiting decision in any
way
hmm i have to read the book so i can
understand that point because that's uh
you know that's that's very interesting
a lot of people will put off marriage
right or the put off things because they
think well you know i got to get my
career set first
but if you meet somebody and you fall in
love like take the chance and then your
career will be enhanced by that going
forward
i know your husband he's an englishman
yeah he doesn't have his passion accent
as you do
posh what you know me well dana perrino
you know me well
and you know that i am anything but paul
the easiest way to get a new shirt
is to say that you have a posh accent
yeah it is you're right look at that the
left-hand side of the screen everybody
that's me 10 years 12 years ago actually
yeah 2013 12 years ago

segments

know i've
this is the longest i've ever had a job
or been been in one place i love

how we've grown as a company

have now and that you can just be
yourself here
and that you can meet lifelong friends
