You know, Charlie Gibson, who also was a mentor of mine at ABC and longtime anchor of Good Morning America.

Charlie is very famous, very powerful, great journalist.

He treated people, everyone in such a lovely way.

Unlike some network anchors, he treated everyone in such a lovely way.

Always had time to talk to them, always spoke to his fans, asked them questions, made them feel good.

And

that journalism, particularly including, particularly journalism, including political journalism,

is a public trust and you can't do it for fun or because it's interesting to elites.

You have to do it to help the country understand itself and do better.

And I've really tried to do that my whole career.

I don't always succeed and I like fun stories too, but really trying to be respectful of the role the founders saw for journalists, the key role, and live up to the obligation to do it correctly.

Okay.

Well, that's more important to me for sure.

Grateful to you.

Thank you for sitting in.

And my recommendation now would be, I'll take it up with Megan.

Kelly is that you should do every other show you should host.

We'll book it for you.

You should host every other show.

You don't have enough to do.
