You know, I think that maybe the reason I look at it that way is because, again, everything is context. And you say, well, don't bring up Donald Trump. That's in context. And what was also going on at the same time, the people whose heads were blowing up about Joe Biden were completely fine with Donald Trump.

I mean, there was an ongoing conversation either with... between myself and the president, myself and people around him. And... I think if I had ever had a conversation with him where I had had that concern, then that would have been far more challenging to me. But again, no doubt, that's a bad day at the office, no doubt about it.

Well, and again, it's not just that meeting. I remember writing an op-ed in the Washington Post. The wider context of your contact with him. Yeah, the wider context. And I remember early on... No, actually, it wasn't Afghanistan. It was Ukraine. And I wrote a Washington Post op-ed that said, Joe Biden needs to stop telling Vladimir Putin what he's not going to do. Joe Biden...

He needs to start telling Vladimir Putin what he is going to do or just keep your mouth shut, basically. And went through all the reasons why being overly cautious on the issue of Ukraine was not serving our interests because we needed to keep Putin guessing a bit more than that. Got a call late at night. As you know, Mika and I go to sleep pretty early because of our early wake-up call.

Got a call late at night. And there's about a 30, 45-minute pretty one-sided discussion from the President of the United States being critical, but more importantly, going in-depth as to why he was doing what he was doing and taking me through it. And, you know, Mark, you and I have talked to politicians, and I think this is a very important point for people that are,

that are listening and may be skeptical, but may be open-minded about this. You and I have talked to a lot of politicians, and I'm going to be really blunt.

Most politicians that call up and lecture me or lecture you about something we've written or said, we sit there and we're very polite, but rolling our eyes because, you know, they're usually going, yeah, they're talking, they're going, they're doing their talking points. And again, you're in an interesting position. I'm not going to debate politics.

a presidential candidate or a politician, when they're calling me up complaining about something that I've done on the air, I go, thank you very much. I appreciate your input. But usually I hang up the phone and meet somebody who's then I'll be like, oh, that was fill in the blank. Oh my God. On his talking points. It was pretty embarrassing. I didn't get that with Biden.
