>> you said 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 that there were a lot of similarities in rhetoric between my dad and donald trump. my dad is an economic populous, so i saw a lot of similarity in that. frankly, one of the things i loved about my dad was that even though he had been in politics, he was an outsider, particularly, to washington. i thought that was something we definitely needed. i saw that same thing in donald trump, even when my dad was in the race. after he got out, i moved pretty quickly to get on board with now president trump. i felt like he was not only the right person to come in and shake up washington, but i also thought he could win. i wanted to be a part of that. >> what did you see that a lot of people did not see, a lot of the media, a lot of pundits, a

lot of people in the gop establishment thinking, this guy is not going to win. >> i saw everyday americans. i 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. frankly, they wanted somebody to come in and burn the place down. they weren't necessarily even as focused, as we learned through my dad's campaign. they didn't just want someone to change it and burn it down. they were less interested in the build-up. they just wanted a massive disruption. i saw that every single day on the campaign trail, whether you were at a fundraiser a state fair or, you know, 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. >> so walk us through a typical day for sarah huckabee sanders.

>> well, i don't know if there's a typical day. i get up and try to see -- i only have one early riser. so hauke, my three-year-old, i usually spend time visiting with him before i leave and get to the office early enough to read through and catch up on any news that took place before i went to bed. and then we start with a series of staff meetings from 7:15, 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, you know, from there, every day is a little different than the one before, which is one of the reasons why i love what we do. no two days are alike, and every day presents new challenges and gives us a new way to be part of the administration. >> and you get home when? >> it varies, but usually anywhere between, you know, 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. how do you approach the job of deputy press secretary or relations with the media? >> the same way i approach the media is the same i would any other relationship. i grew up in the south, so being hospitable is something that i think was engrained in me at an early age. i try to take it to my workplace and even when i disagree, i try to be diplomatic and gracious about it. sometimes we have to be pretty aggressive and push back, but i try to do that in a way that's, again, polite and hospitable and strong, not weak. >> to see the entire interview with sara huckabee sanders tonight on c span. >> president trump is in
