Seth yep you fed me grapes yes seth which i need within every ten minutes. Your assistant got those knots out of your feet, and we just let the tape roll [ light laughter ] and people love it seth do you youre very good at it do you enjoy doing a podcast i love it seth yeah. Its sincerely my favorite thing. As i assume you enjoy doing this seth yeah. Theres something just im genuinely very interested in human beings were all weird and interesting. I like to try to find out what the weirdest part of you is. And, uh, so yeah, its so much fun seth so, the show yes seth do you feel like the podcast helped was that when people said, hey, this would be a wonderful guy to talk to people in this environment, too . Well, whats very weird about first of call, can we recognize do you even see me in this photo . [ light laughter ] seth its i mean, it is guys, have you ever seen a more preposterously sized object [ light laughter ] seth yeah. In you life seth i and you know, its such a weird picture to be showing. You guys provided the picture and i am like, gosh, i feel like theyre really underselling how important dax is to the show. [ laughter ] well, i think whats very clear is that in the mind of fox, the star is the wheel seth yeah. [ light laughter ] thats abundantly clear from this photo but i seth the back of that persons head is fivetimes bigger than you are in that photo. [ light laughter ] absolutely. And when i first stepped out on stage with this goliath i mean, this reminds me of the worlds fair in chicago. Seth yeah, yeah. The very first ferris wheel with train cars on it. Its similar size. And when i stepped out, i looked at it and i was like, i will certainly be killed by this contraption. [ laughter ] and what a great comedic death seth yes its its like a it will be a Buster Keaton gag gone wrong eventually. Seth my question is, if it started to fall over mmhmm. Seth do you think youd even bother trying to run or would you know theres no way youd get out of the fall zone well, because it is a perfect circle, i imagine id run that way, thinking it was shortest. Realizing no, that its all equal distance and id probably get confused like a fly seth yeah. If you want to kill a fly, they have eyes all around their heads. You have to confuse them but to your original question, yes. [ laughter ] [ applause ] 26 minutes later, yes, my podcast played a role in me getting this because the man who invented this, the crazy genius Andrew Glassman some of the younger gals in his office suggested you should get dax to host this thing, because they liked the podcast seth thats great. He thought i was zach braff doesnt matter [ laughter ] here we are. Seth here we are but he came over seth i mean, by the way, in this photo, you might as well be [ light laughter ] yeah. Yeah, yeah [ laughter ] ive never looked better but, yeah, he came over and he showed me this, like, animated thing on a computer and explained it to me and i kept thinking, well, the wheel wont be that big. Like, you know, this is some kind of scaling issue with the software and in fact, its that big seth it is that big. Yeah, yeah. Seth you one of your contestants in that clip, you were talking about game of thrones. I think you and i are both very sad its over. I know you and kristen, your wife, watch it together. Yeah. Seth are you guys sad that its over . Well, it is the secondlongest relationship ive had. Seth yeah. [ light laughter ] besides kristen seth yeah. Ive been with that program for ten years. And she and id been with it together and i got to say, i think it was the foundation of our friendship and marriage [ light laughter ] seth really . Yeah. cause were struggling now. [ laughter ] were struggling were watching anything and everything seth yeah. Yeah. Seth it is very a lot it really makes you reassess exactly how good your marriage was without a show absolutely. Seth yeah. Yes it can really get you through a couple hours together. Seth yeah. [ laughter ] plus, we dress up and everything all in all, were probably in it for three, four hours on a sunday night seth sure, sure. Yeah, we definitely are mourning the loss of it. But we did have you watched fleabag . Seth the best. Oh, my gosh, you guys seth the best. [ cheers and applause whoever has not seth its so good. Im like yeah, youre watching the show.

And at that point, you hate her guts seth yes [ light laughter ] youre like, love her love her love her how dare you . I am insignificant. I suck im not creative seth also theres a thats where my head goes seth the nice thing about telling people about fleabag i found, is when you tell people about a show that is two seasons, but theyre each six episodes, and 30 minutes its not like right seth you know what you need to watch 24 seth game of thrones. 24. [ light laughter ] either way. Seth 24, nine seasons, 24 episodes each hourlong each. Youre looking at 650 hours of quality programming.

Seth son of a bitch. [ laughter ] our next guest hosts deadline white house weekdays at 4 00 p. M. On msnbc please welcome back to the show our friend, nicolle wallace, everybody. [ cheers and applause seth hello, how are you . Im great, how are you . Seth good. Its wonderful to have you back. We often talk about the same things on our shows in slightly different ways youre funny, im not seth youre earlier in the day. Youve got to get at it first which i appreciate, because often we can watch and have a good sense of whats going on. You made a choice in talking about Donald Trumps tweets that he fired off on sunday not to talk about the story and talk about how he attacked those four congresswomen in a racist way, but not to read the tweets can you tell us how you came to that decision . Well, we as a show have made a lot of choices about not repeating the most hateful things that come out of the white house. And having worked there, i think im particularly triggered by the use of the white house property, the white house lawn, the press secretarys podium, for spewing hate speech, for spewing lies so we stopped airing Sarah Sanders briefings we dont take donald trump live. We feel like were fire hosing our viewers by doing that. We listen to it and turn it around as news and with these tweets, there was a way to cover the story, talk about what he did. Describe it without repeating them and he told the world last week that his strategy is to detonate stink bombs on twitter and watch all of us run around, you know, like maniacs so we thought, lets not play into it, and i you know, listen everyone has to make their own choices. We all watch trump we all watch the same thing seth right and have very different reactions. For me sometimes, its a matter of selfpreservation, not to repeat the most hideous things he does. Seth there obviously is some hesitation in the press and a ton of hesitation in the Republican Party to call those tweets racist. Where do you think that hesitation comes from and do you think ultimately, do you think theres a situation with the republicans are so all in now that to call this racist would, of course, question why they havent said it about anything yet, and put them in a bad position for whatever next racist thing he does theres no explanation. You know, i have a child i mean, you cannot look your children, your family members, anyone that doesnt do what we do in the eye and say this is anything other than racism and when we stop calling black black, white white, up up, down down, hes won seth yeah. So you have got to call it as you see it and, look, we might get it wrong sometimes but whatever that gut reaction to him is and in this instance, it is textbook racism, and its racism on purpose. Its racism out loud, and i think theres a lot of concern in washington, growing concern, that someones going to get hurt seth you i wonder if you have this issue where because certainly some republicans have been going on television and making the case for why it wasnt racist and sort of contorting themselves to explain it do you have trouble now booking republicans to come on your show so we made a round of calls yesterday, to see if any seth just straight to voicemail . Yeah. [ laughter ] we dont even get that far but does anybody want to come on and and and attack or defend and we didnt hear back from anybody. I obviously still talk to a lot of republicans i worked in the last Republican Administration before this one and its searing their silence is almost as damaging to this country as trumps conduct. Seth and what about do you still have sources within the white house . Or has you know, because obviously, i dont need to tell you, theres been a fair share of turnover. [ laughter ] are there people there now that you still even know . So i still cover the executive branch and there are still people that return my calls in the executive branch ill tell you, the calls fall in one of three categories. If i wasnt here, it would have been worse. Seth yeah. You know, the racist tweet would have been more racist. Seth right im a hero for you have no you have no idea how much worse it would be. Seth yeah. Thats one category of calls. The other category and i get fewer of these because there are not very many people left. It used to be, well, you have no idea what a jerk x, y, z was. Theyd attack each other seth yep but now there are only, like, six people left and two of them are related to him so i dont get as many of those calls. [ light laughter ] and then this third is really hes out of control, theres nothing we can do about him, but were there to protect the country. So there are still people that call to convey really the first and third messages seth are you hearing anything about where his head is at, insofar as, like, what he thinks his reelection chances are . If thats something that concerns him if he has bigger concerns outside of reelection what are you hearing so i talked to someone who spent some time with him recently, and hes worried about joe biden. He thinks joe biden could chip away at his coalition. He thinks that president obama built the cages in which he now houses children. Seth uhhuh. And he does not view his reelection as a foregone conclusion and i think that cuts both ways. You know, its a glimpse into a nanosecond of sanity his reelection is not a foregone conclusion. Every one of the toptier democrats beat him in head to heads. But i think hes scarier with his back up against the wall so i think were in for a lot more of what weve seen this week seth yeah, it doesnt seem like hes going to calm down and focus. Hes not going to pivot [ light laughter ] you know, like e seth i would say its nice, weve kind of given up on pivot totally seth yeah. I mean, i havent talked about it in, you know seth yeah. Two years. Seth people have a lot of trouble saying racism, but, man, they had no trouble saying pivot for the first year of this presidency look, im glad youre paying attention to that, because there is no you leave washington, and thats racism. I mean, it speaks to the bubble that our politicians exist in, because whether you love him or hate him, hes a racist. Seth you had to cover the democratic debates in real time and obviously 20 people up there. Be honest, were there some who you maybe didnt quite know who they were . See, i feel like you got a leak [ light laughter ] yes [ laughter ] i was the one host that night with pictures. Seth yeah. And and yes, i had pictures [ laughter ] i dont have i mean, there were just so many seth yeah. I noticed, because when i was watching you, you stopped using names. And you were like, i thought eyebrows i was great. [ laughter ] i was like, wait a second. Okay, so as long as ive been outed, so the two i couldnt keep straight with delaney and inslee seth yeah. But i mean, inslee had a moment right . Seth yeah. So when they went around and i thought chuck and rachel and savannah i thought everyone was amazing at nbc, but that lightning round was so powerful when chuck and rachel asked them to say, one word, our biggest threat. And then inslee, who i will confess to having to had study. Seth yeah. On my picture cards that Brian Williams kept nudging in front of me. I thought he had a real moment so ill never forget him again seth thats great. But bad news for delaney if john delaney were here, id be like, and your name is what do you do . Seth well, hopefully it wont come that. Im a fan of having a lot i dont think its hurting them yet. Seth yeah, i dont mind it one more time, but then i want there to be fewer. Youre ready for one. Seth yeah. You know, because we go live i dont want to do it twice a week again [ light laughter ] thanks so much for being back. Thank you so much seth its so great to see you as always. Thank you seth nicolle wallace, everybody. [ cheers and applause deadline white house airs weekdays at 4 00 p. M.
