And that's...

You gotta think on your feet is definitely a big part.

The big decisions are made back at the White House.

Like if you run into a big problem on the road, sometimes even a little problem, but you can call your boss at the White House.

But can I just give a bizarre example of how you have to think on your feet? I always tell this story when I'm doing an event in Texas.

This is so Texas.

It's 1992 and the campaign and the Clinton-Gore bus tour is coming through Texas.

No,

Jean Becker, did this book need to be vetted because of, uh, what you're writing about?

You know, the, the answer is yes and no. Um, so there is sort of this understanding ab- for, that advance people have that what happens on the road, stays on the road.

And we had some conversations with some advance people, a couple of whom had some concerns about the book being written.

By the way, they all have essays in the book.

And the point we made to them is, we're not...

I- if, if people are gonna read this book, and they're going to expect that we're going to tell secrets or, you know, talk out of turn, you're gonna be very disappointed.

We have great stories, but the point is, is to, to give-The American public just have an idea what goes behind a presidential trip.

What is that story?

What happened?

We were in London for the G7 summit, and she was visiting Mrs. Bush, the first lady, where the Bushes were staying, and the ambassador's residence, and Marine One was sitting out on the yard.

And the boys who were, I don't know how old they were, like five, six, they were little, They wanted to go see Marine One, and then they started bugging her to go see Air Force One, their mom.

And Mrs. Bush is saying, yes, absolutely.

And I give Princess Diana huge credit.

She saw me standing in the corner, and she sort of went over to me quietly and said, what do you think? You know, she sought out a staff person who maybe would be a little more in tune if this was doable or not.

And I just was sort of in a state of shock.

Your thoughts on that story?
