  1. “I think I feel a lot of hope when I'm in nature. I feel a lot of hope when I am experiencing people who are good and honest and pure and true and passionate. And that's not an uncommon experience. So those experiences give me hope.”

  2. “I think being interplanetary, my hope is that that heightens for us how Rare it is what we have, like how precious the earth is. I hope that it has that effect. Because I think there's a big component to To interplanetary travel that kind of taps into this kind of manifest destiny inclination, like the human desire to conquer territory and expand. Footprint of civilization that sometimes feels much more rooted and like dominance and conquest than curiosity, wonder. Obviously, I think there's maybe an existential imperative for it at some point or a strategic and security one. But I hope that. What feels inevitable at this moment? I mean, you know, Elon Musk and what he's doing with SpaceX and Jeff Bezos and others, it feels like it's not an if. It's a when at this point. I hope it also underscores the need to protect what we have here.”

  4. “I hope it always is long. I hope I've never exhausted exploring all the things I'm curious about. I always tell my kids whenever they say, you know, mom, I'm bored. Only boring people get bored. Too much to learn. There's too much to learn. So I've got a long one. I think obviously there are some immediate tactical interesting things that I'm doing. I'm incubating a bunch of businesses. I'm investing in a bunch of companies that hopefully I'll always continue to do that. Some of the fun things I'm doing in real estate now. So those are all on the list of things I'm passionate and excited about continuing to explore and learn. In terms of the ones that are more pure sort of adventurer hobby, I think I'd like to climb Mount Kilmanjaro. Actually, I know I would. And the only thing keeping me from doing it in the short term is I feel like it'd be such a great experience to do with my kids. And I'd love to have that experience with them. I also told Etrabella, we were talking about this archery competition that happens in Mongolia and she loves horseback riding. So I'm like, I feel like that would be an amazing thing to experience together.”

  5. “100%. I've seen it with all of my kids and myself how much they benefited from it. But that self-defense component and the philosophical elements of, you know, they, Pedro will often tell them about like Wuwe and sort of soft resistance. And some of these sort of more Eastern philosophies that they get exposed to through their practice there that are Sort of non resistance that are beautiful and hard concepts to internalize as an adult, but especially when you're 12, 10, and 8, respectively. So it's been an amazing experience for us all.”

  6. “It's the mind, the body, the soul, effectively, is how they break it out, and the kids can only advance and get their stripes if they really internalize this. They give examples of each of them. And my own kids will come home from school and they'll tell me examples of how things happen that weren't aligned with the 753 code. So it's a framework much like religion is in our house and can be for others. It's a framework to discuss things that happen in their life, large and small and has been beautiful. So I do think that body, mind, connection is super strong in Jiu-Jitsu.”

  8. “You develop more natural awareness when you're out and about. And I feel like especially everyone's, you get on an elevator and like the first thing people do is pick up their phone. You're walking down the street. People are getting hit by cars because they're walking into traffic. I think as you start to get this training, you become much more aware of the broader context of what's happening around you, which is really healthy and good as well. But it's been beautiful. Actually, the Valente brothers, they have this 753 code that was developed with some of the sort of samurai principles in mind. And all of my kids have memorized it and they'll talk to me about it. At Theo, he's eight years old. He'll able to recite all 15. So, you know, benevolence and fitness and nutrition and flow and awareness and balance.”

  9. “It they wanted to start doing it, so now they joined, and then Jared joined. So now we're all doing jiu-jitsu. And for me, there's something really empowering knowing that I have some basic skills to defend myself. I think it's something as humans we've kind of gotten away from. You look at any other animal and even the giraffe, they'll use their neck, the lion, the tiger. species and then there's us you know who most of us don't and I didn't know how to protect myself. And I think that it gives you a sense of confidence and also gives you kind of a sense of calm, you know, knowing how to de-escalate rather than escalate a situation. I also think as part of the training”

  10. “First of all, I love the way I came to it. It was my daughter. I think I told you this story. She's at 11 she told me that she wanted to learn self-defense and she wanted to learn how to protect herself, which I just as a mom I was so proud about because at 11, I was not thinking about defending myself. You know, I loved that she had sort of that desire and awareness. So I called some friends, actually a mutual friend of ours and asked around for people who I could work with in Miami and they recommended the Valente Brothers studio. And you've met all three of them now. They're these remarkable human beings and they've been so wonderful for our family. I mean, first starting with Arabella, I used to take her. And then she'd kind of encouraged me and she'd sort of pull me into it. And I started doing it with her. And then Joseph and Theo saw us doing.”

  11. “So good. Well, we were talking surfing. We were talking jiu-jitsu. I think live music is one of those kind of rare moments where you can really be present. Where something about the anticipation of choosing what show you're going to go to and then waiting for the date to come. And normally it happens in the context of community. You go with friends and then allowing yourself to sort of fall into it is incredible.”

  13. “Because I torture myself The first song I learned to play on the guitar, and it took me like nine months to a year. I mean, I should have chosen a different song, but Ue2 Monomor, one of his songs was, and it was like finger style and I was just going through and grinding it out. That's kind of how I started to learn to play by playing that song. But to see these old videos of him playing. Without all his fingers and the skill and the dexterity. One of my favorite live performances is actually who really influenced Adele as Aretha Franklin. And she did this version of Amazing Grace. Have you ever seen this video? I cry Look up, it was in LA, it was like the temple missionary Baptist church. Talk about stripped down. She's literally, I mean, just listen to this.”

  16. “You can strip it down and the power of her voice. You know, I think about that one of the things we were talking about live music, one of the Amazing things now is you there's so much incredible concert material that's been uploaded to YouTube. So sometimes I just sit there and watch these like old shows. We both love Stevie Ray Vaughn, like watching him perform. You can even find old videos of like Django Reinhardt.”

  17. “We're overdue and we're worthy. And my last night in Washington, D.C., the gentleman you mentioned, Corvin, I was on the phone with his mother at 1230 in the morning telling her that her son would be getting out the next day. And it felt really, it's one person, but you see with Alice, like the ripple effect of, you know, the commutation granted to her and her ability and the impact she'll have within her family with her grandkids. And now she's an advocate for so many others who are voiceless. It felt like the perfect way to end four years to be able to call those parents and call those kids in some cases and give them the news that a loved one was coming home.”

  18. “They're overlooked and they have no advocate. Jared, and I helped in a small way on his effort, but he really spearheaded the effort on criminal justice reform through the first step back, which was an enormously consequential piece of legislation that gave so many people another opportunity. And that was amazing. So working with him closely on that was a beautiful thing for us to also experience together. But in the final days of the administration, you know, you're not getting legislation passed. And anything you do administratively is going to be probably overturned by an incoming administration. So, you know, how do you use that time for maximum results? And I really like dug in on pardon and commutations that I thought were.”

  19. “Experienced Applause. Nobody had ever shown up at their games or at their plays and clapped for them. And the emotional experience of just being able to give someone that being able to stand and applaud for someone and how meaningful that was. And she was showing us pictures from these different productions. And it was a really, it was a beautiful moment. Alice actually after her sentence was commuted and she came out of prison together. We worked on 23 different pardons or commutations. So the impact of her experience and how she was able to Take her opportunity and create that same opportunity for others who are deserving and who she believed in was very beautiful. So anyway, that was. Extraordinary concert experience for my kids to be able to have that moment.”

  20. “Is like a very profound. It was amazing to see Adele, but it was a very profound experience for me to have with my kids because she rode with us in the car on the way to the show. And she talked to my kids about her experience and her story and how her case found its way to me. And I think for young children, it's very abstract, you know, policy. And so for her to be able to share with them this was a very beautiful moment and led to a lot of really incredible conversations with each of my kids about our time and service because, you know, they gave up a lot for me to do it. Actually, Alice told him the most beautiful story about the plays she used to put on in prison, how these shows were like the hottest ticket in town. Like you could not get into them. They always extended their run. But for the people who were in them, a lot of those men and women had never”

  21. “Yeah, I mean, she's extraordinary. Her voice is. Unreal. So she is, I find her to be so talented and she's so unique in that three-year-olds love her music. She was actually the first concert Arabelle ever went to at Madison Square Garden when she was around four. And 90-year-olds love her music. And that's pretty rare to have that kind of bandwidth of resonance. So I think she's so talented. We actually just saw her. I took all three kids in Las Vegas around a month ago. Alice Johnson, whose case I had worked with in the White House, my father commuted her sentence. Her case was brought to me by a friend Kim Cardashian. And she came to the show. We all went together with some mutual friends.”

  23. “I hope you do. What I love about her, and I've really come to love her in recent years, is she's so authentically herself. And she's obviously so talented and so accomplished in this extraordinary woman. But I just feel like she has no conflict within herself as to who she is. She reminds me a lot of my mom in that way. And it's super refreshing and really beautiful to observe somebody somebody who's so in the public eye being so fully secure in who they are, what their talent is, and what drives them. So I think she's amazing. And she leads with a lot of love and positivity. So I think she's very cool. I hope you have a long conversation. Yeah.”

  25. “Your own community. I volunteer with the kids a lot, and we feel really good about that service. It's different, but it's no less meaningful. So I think there are other ways, there are other ways to serve. I also think for, you know, Politics is a pretty dark world. There's a lot of darkness, a lot of negativity, and it's just really at odds with what feels good for me as a human being. And, you know, it is a really rough business. So for me and my family, it feels right to not participate.”

  26. “First and foremost, it was. Decision rooted in me being a parent. Really, thinking about They need from me now. You know, politics is a rough, rough business. And I think it's one that you also can't dabble in. I think you have to either be all in or all out. And I know today the cost they would pay for me being all in. Emotionally, in terms of my absence. At such a formative Point in their life I'm not willing to make them bear that cost. I serve for four years and feel so privileged to have done it, but Their mom. I think it's really important that. Do what's right for them. And I think there are a lot of ways you can serve. I think there's obviously we talked about the enormity, the scale of what can be accomplished in government service. I think there's something equally valuable about helping.”

  27. “I think a lot about the fact that for a lot of young people, they really know what they want to do. They don't actually know who they are. And then I think as you get older, hopefully you know who you are and you're much more comfortable with ambiguity around what you want to do and accomplish. You're more flexible in your thinking around those things.”

  28. “Those were amazing adventures and incredible experiences in government. And I feel today that all of those ambitions are more fully integrated into me as a human being. I'm much more comfortable with the various pieces of my personality and that any professional drive is more integrated into more simple pleasures. Like everything for me has gotten like much simpler and easier in terms of what I want to do and what I want to be. I think that's where my kids have been my teachers just being fully present. And enjoying the little moments. And it doesn't mean I'm any less driven than I was before. It's just more a part of me than Being sort of the all consuming energy one has in their 20s”

  29. “I love Alan once too. I listen to his lecture sometimes falling asleep. He's got an on plane. He's got like the most soothing voice. But I love what he said about you have no obligation to be who you were five minutes ago because we should always feel that we have the ability to evolve and grow and better ourselves. I think further than that, if we don't look back on who we were a few years ago with some level of embarrassment. We're not growing enough, right? So there's nothing when I look back, I'm like, oh, you know, I feel like that. That feeling is because you're growing into hopefully sort of a better version of yourself. And I hope and feel that that's been true for me as well. I think the person I am today, you know, we spoke in the beginning of our discussion about some of my earliest ambitions in real estate and in fashion.”

  30. “Is almost the moral equivalent to murder because you can't really repair it. You can apologize, but you can't repair it. Another component of that is that it does as much damage to the person saying the words than it does to the person receiving them. And I think about that a lot. I talk about this concept with my kids a lot. And I'm not willing to pay the price of that fleeting and momentary satisfaction of sort of swinging back. Because I think it would be too expensive for my soul. And that's how I kind of made peace with it because I think that's just, that feels more true for me. It is a little bit contrarian in politics. It's definitely a contrarian viewpoint to not get into the fray. I actually someday I love Dolly Pardon says that she doesn't condemn or criticize. She loves and accepts. And I like that. It feels right for me.”

  31. “And there were times when it was so easy to counter it. I'd even write something out and say, well, I'm going to press send and never did. I felt that sort of getting into the mud, fighting back, it didn't run true to who I am as a human being. Like it didn't, it felt at odds with who I am and how I want to spend my time. So I think as a result, I was oftentimes on the receiving end of a lot of cheap shots. And I'm okay with that because it's sort of the way I know how to be in the world. I was focused on things I thought mattered more. And, you know, I think part of me also internalized, there's a concept in Judaism called Lashanhara, which is translated into, I think, quite literally evil speech. The idea that speaking poorly of another”

  32. “I appreciate your saying that I was very stoic about it. I think, you know, I feel things pretty deeply. So initially some of that. Really took me off guard, like some of the derivative love and hatred, some of the intensity of the attacks.”

  33. “Really hard when you try to navigate something because everyone thinks you're taking their side. You have oftentimes incomplete information. I think for parents, what tends to happen to is we see our kids fighting with each other in a way that all kids do. And we start to project into the future and like catastrophize. You know, if like my two sons are going through a moment where they're like oil and water. Anything one wants to do, the other doesn't want to do. It's like a very interesting moment. And so my instinct is they're not going to like each other when they're 25. You know, you sort of project into the future as opposed to recognizing this is a stage that I too went through. And it's normal and not building it in your mind into something that's unnecessarily consequential.”

  34. “I think there's like when it gets physical, that's like, okay, we have to intervene. I know you're into martial arts, but that's normally like the red line. You know, once it tips into that. But there is always that, you know, like you have to allow them to problem solve for themselves, like a little interpersonal conflict is good.”

  35. “And there have been a lot of times where I've been like, we're doing this thing. And then I realized, wait a second, you know, like sometimes you just like plop down on the floor and start playing magnetiles. And like that's where they need you, and so those of us who have sort of like alpha personalities, who sometimes it's just witness, like witness what they need, don't like play with them and allow them to lead the play. Don't force them down a road. You may think is more interesting or productive or educational or edifying, you know, just be with them, observe them. and then show them that you are genuinely curious about the things that they are genuinely curious about. I think there's a lot of love when you do that.”

  36. “And when they all need different things, but yet coexist and are sometimes competitive with one another. So you'll be at a dinner table, the amount of times I get, well, that's not fair. Why did you let? And I'm like, life isn't fair. And by the way, like, I'm not here to be fair. I'm like, I'm trying to give you each what you need, especially when I've been working really hard. And, you know, in the White House, I'd say, okay, well, now we have a Sunday and we have these hours and I'll have like a grand plan, you know, and we're going to make a count. And it's going to involve, you know. Hot chocolate and sleds, you know, whatever it is that like my great adventure, that we're going to go play mini golf. And then I come down all psyched up, all ready to go. And the kids have zero interest.”

  38. “Even as a preteen who normally, you know, she allowed me to experience the joy with her. And it was amazing. We can be so much more fun if we allow ourselves to be more playful. We can be so much more present. I look at Theo loves games. So we play a whole lot of board games. Any kind of game. So it started with board games. We do a lot of puzzles, then it became card games. I just taught them how to play poker. He loves backhamming like any kind of game. And he's so fully in them. You know, when he plays, he plays. My son Joseph, he loves nature. And he'll say to me sometimes when I'm taking a picture of something he's observing, like a beautiful sunset, he's like, Mom, just experience it.”

  40. “We were talking about the presence you felt when you were in the jungle and the connectivity you felt and sort of the simple joy. And I think for us as we grow older, we kind of disconnect from that. Like my kids have taught me how to play again. And that's beautiful. I remember just a couple of weeks ago, we had one of these crazy Miami torrential downpours. And Arabella comes down. It's around 8 o'clock at night. It's really raining. And she's got Rain boots and pajama pants on, and she's going to take the dogs for a walk in the rain, which, you know, she had all day to walk, but she wasn't doing it because they needed to go for a walk. She was like, this would be fun. And I'm standing at the doorstep watching her, and she goes out with Simba in Wincher, this massive dog in this little tiny dog.”
