Probably in under the Excited Utterance exception.

We should call up the NSA. They might have the actual transcript.

That’s not hearsay. She is testifying regarding an event she (audibly) witnessed. Whether she is truthful or not is for the jury to decide, but she certainly has first-hand knowledge.
