Now what happened you guys look getting along initially went to the point we almost since they wanted you to make her the godmother to -- child tour -- -- Yes yes Sydney had asked if she could be that got -- that trip but you know.

My family would take care trip if something were to happen MEX I -- -- as a -- and.

Right that was then and now we're heading into another presidential campaign would you like your mother to run for president absolutely.

Why don't you think again your family be under scrutiny and under the microscope and you -- Levi Johnson would come out.
