>> which is why she tells us we're seeing less of her these days. she says she's trying to cut back on screen time. p people should not look at me as somebody who quote goes on tv. that was five percent of what i did. this idea, somebody once wrote a flattering article that said you had to put one negative thing this there, you know, maybe she's not that involved in everything because she's on tv. no, i'm on tv when they are all still sleeping. i'm already. there been up for two hours doing that. oh, and i'm there late at night. >> that may be just as well. because late night hasn't been kind to conway. not long ago saturday night live depicted her as a stalker. >> you don't get it, kellyanne, you made up a massacre. we can't have you on. >> but i miss the news. >> look, people really got outraged by that particular skit. i had people right, left and center coming to my quote

defense saying it was over the top, and it's also-- but it's also untrue. e> so who is kellyanne conway. she was raised in a blue collar new jersey town. her parents divorced when she was young. >> i grew up in a house of all women. my mother, her mother and two of my mother's unmarried sisters raised me, so four italian catholic women raised me in this house and that has benefited me tremendously because there's a certain humility that will never go away. >> while president trump uses social media as an important tool to communicate and sometimes attack. conway tells us she considers it a cesspool, in part because of what her children see on it. >> if it hurts my kids more than anything. they all read, they are all online reading. >> what do your kids say. >> mom why do people say x about you or y about you or z but. i say well that's their unconsidered opinion. they don't want donald trump to be president. they don't want me to be there with him. they don't want any of us to be

there. we're all criticized and they try to pit us against each other which is completely ridiculous. but i tell them, say a prayer for those people. because something has got to really bother you that you feel so bent on criticizing someone hu hardly know for doing a job that you can't begin to understand. >> her husband george conway who may also join the trump administration as the nation's next solicitor general is much more camera shy. >> reporter: and what do you think of watching kellyanne through this whole thing. >> she's a fighter. she's tough. i don't like everything that has been said about her to be sure. it makes me a little angry. it's part of the fact that she is out there working for president and they will attack her and whoever they see standing up for the president. >> reporter: you talk so passionately about the public service and the role you're crafting in the white house. that naturally evolves into some day wanting to run yourself for office. >> i feel like i'm in a really good place as councilor to the president to have the type of

impact that usually motivates people to run for office. it's not just the fire in your belly any more, you have to have the bile in your throat. this is country think many women do not run for office, many good, men and women who would. >> reporter: bile in your throat. >> yeah, you just swallow so much that the country looks at you through this negative lens, corruption and corruption and lying and you want money and you're motivated by power and capital you know, the money doesn't come you, the health doesn't come to you. there are really good men and women out there who truly want to serve. i worked with them in my polling business for decades. some of them make it, and most do not. >> is there anything that would cause you to want to leave the white house? >> yes, my children. they're having the hardest time with this. this is all new for us. this is not something i have sought. i'm not a famous person on tv it's just different to not have mom there. but it was a decision we made as a family and we will move either

way because i'm here to support the president. >> we'll be right back. o support the president. >> we'll be right bafnlgt whrang you behinda said its defense

>> back then in 1901 for just a penny a ride, sinai and olivet the two cars on the world's shortest railway opened for business. >> angels flight began its first climb upward. >> it was called angels flight and designed to shuttle the residents of the city's then exclusive neighborhood of bunker hill down to the shopping districts of downtown. >> by the 1950s more than 100 million people had ridden the two rail cars but in the late '60s the hill top neighborhood was razed to make way for modern skyscraper and angel's flight was disassembled and put in storage. the railway had a brief renaissance starting in 1996 but two accidents one of them in 2001 that resulted in the death of a tourist doomed the cars to stand idle where they haven't carried passengers since 2013. but as anyone who has seen "la la land" can tell you, dreams do

still come true here in los angeles. we felt again that sense of romance. and i was ready to join them. and soon we will all be able to once again when we reopen angels flight later this year here in los angeles. group of engineering firms will add new safety features and rehabilitate the 115 year old landmark with the goal of reopening it to the public by labor day. >> and although the track might run for less than 300 feet, its salvation is a historic milestone in a city not known for its reservation of the past. >> the longest journey to the shortest ride ever. >> carter evans, cbs news, los angeles. >> quijano: that is the cbs weekend news for this sunday. later on cbs, "60 minutes." i'm elaine quijano in new york. for all of us at cbs news, thank you for joining us and good night. captioning sponsored by cbs captioned by
