It has recently flipped on the ratings. Was previously chief White House Correspondent for nbc news. Interview withn president obama at the white house. I am pleased to have chuck todd back on this program. Welcome. First of all, congratulations. Thanetter to start with the president of the United States . I did get the gift that we all want on sunday mornings. Public affairs program, of all the officials you want, this is the one who has the most answers. The president of the United States. It is all downhill from here. No, it is not. Tell me how you approach this interview with the president. I viewed it as, you put shoes. F in his you say, why is he doing this . They dont do things as favors as much as some people might want to think. Certainly when i made the pitch to get this interview,
kamala harris? we tried to talk harris faulkner and up but she said dinner at fuddruckers wasn t enough. the fact is you can impersonate anyone except the protected classes designated by the legacy media, as if there is a do not disturb list. remember when snl forced poor fred arneson to impersonate obama and they made him so incredibly boring so as not to offend anyone. it s really the worst insult. we don t think you can take the criticism, which allows some of the biggest crooks to get away with anything. hell, some could even marry their brother. i don t harm talking about. it comes down to this, when in trouble, smear the others, when in doubt, call the bigots out, call them racist, call them sexist but never tell the truth. it s the difference between this white house on the previous one. who did trump go after? the media, china, the nba, the nfl, democrats and republicans, to liberties. he punched up, not down. he didn t single out citizens or voters.
