she talks about her work on the trump campaign and in the trump white house. here is a brief preview. >> so when did you say to yourself i'm going to work for donald trump? >> you know, pretty quickly after my dad got out of the race. even during the campaign i noticed there were a lot of similarities in the rhetoric between my dad and donald trump. my dad is an economic populist, any so i saw a lot of similarity in that, and frankly, one of the things i loved about my dad is even though he'd been in politics he was an outsider particularly to washington, and i felt like that was something we desperately needed. i saw that same thing in donald trump even when my dad was still in the race, and after he got out, i moved pretty quickly to get onboard with now president trump. i felt like he, not only was the right person to come in and shake up washington, but i also thought he can win and i wanted to be part of that. >> what did you see that a lot

of people did not see? a lot of the media. a lot of the pundits and a lot with the gop establishment thinking this guy's not going to win? what did you see? >> i think i saw everyday americans. i'd spent the better part of a year and a half on the campaign trail with my dad talking to people in iowa, south carolina, new hampshire, arkansas and everywhere in between, and they were hungry for change. they were hungry for somebody to really come in and shake up washington, and frankly, they wanted someone to come in and bring the place down. they weren't necessarily as focused as we learned through my dad's campaign. they didn't want someone to change it and burn it down. they were less interested in the buildup. they just wanted a massive disruption and i saw that every single day on the campaign trail whether you were at a fund-raiser, a state fair or the taxi driver, taking you from point a to point b. this was something that the country was hungry for and donald trump had tapped into it.

>> walk us through a typical day for sarah huckabee sanders. >> i don't know if there is a typical day. it usually starts earlier at 5:00 a.m., and i try to see -- i only have one early riser, so huck, my 3-year-old spends some time visiting with him in the morning before i leave and get to the office early enough to try to read through and catch up on any news that took place before i went to bed and then bee start with a series of staff meetings around 10:15 talking about the news of the day, prepping for what we want the message of the day to look like and responding to any stories that may be coming up, and from there, every day is a little different than the one before which is one of the reasonsis love what we do is that no two days are alike and every day presents new challenges and gives us a new part of the administration. >> it could be 7:00 to 10:00 at

night. >> and as you take on this job. sean spicer has made a couple of changes, seats among them and how do you approach relations with media in general? >> you know, i think the same way relations with the media and the way i approach it is to try to do that, is the same way i would any other relationship. i grew up in the south and so being hospitable is something that i think was ingrained in me at an early age and in everything i do there and even though when i disagree, i try to be diplomatic and gracious about it, but sometimes we have to be pretty aggressive and push back, but i try to do that in a way that is, again, polite and hospitable, but also strong and not weak. >> you can see the entire interview with sarah huckabee sanders tonight on c-span at 8:00 p.m. eastern.

>> sunday night on "afterwords," journalist cheryl attkisson are used how smear tactics, how shady, political operatives and fake news control what you see, what you think and how you vote. she's interviewed by washington post media critic eric whipple. >> you don't stick up for mccain and you handle the washington post who you feel has not properly reported on this incident as opposed to saying, hey, donald trump, why are you smearing john mccain? >> number one, no offense to you, just that it was the washington post that i wrote about, but number two, i'm not here to cheer on or defend john mccain or donald trump, i think the media behavior and people do mistake when you criticize media behavior at times for how it treats donald trump, it certainly doesn't mean i support him or am cheering him on. i see those as separate things and it is misread often as you

must be supporting him or you must not like x or y because you said this, and i -- it has nothing to do with that and it's what i see as accurate or fair about the media coverage and i have spoken out frequently including washington post coverage. >> watch "after words" sunday night on c-span2's book tv. >> now a discussion on an upcoming russian-led military exercise in and around the baltic sea, slated to begin in mid-september of this year. military and government leaders from estonia, norway and the u.s. discussed the mechanics and broader implications of the exercises both for the nato alliance and russia's broader military ambitions. this was hosted by the atlantic council.
