Chuck Todd

The exit never gets better.

This is true.

So let's talk about the decision to write this book because I'm sure, look, you chose to make some things public that I'm guessing not every member of your family wanted public.

It's funny.

Well, that's Washington for you.

You should have a conversation with my son because, you know, he's in college now and he's starting to get this more and he realizes this.

But, you know, he was called, you know, I grew up, you know, pretty bad.

Working class is probably, you know, grew up in apartment buildings and all that stuff.

And I had a good life.

OK, my parents tried their best.

And when my son got hit for being a nepo baby, I'm like, what?

And I always felt terrible about that.

Like he doesn't get to be his own person.

And so I wonder, this is clearly what frustrates you is that you feel as if so many people just assume they know who you are or who you should be just because of what your name is.

And it's like, no matter what you're saying, whatever it is, you get questioned either.

You should have done more or well, whatever you did, you, you, you started on third base.

You can't.

And you know what?

I I would tell you don't talk about it publicly.

It's not fair.
