And, you know, they can't even say like if Trump cured cancer, they would come up with some reason why he didn't do it effectively or why it was bad. And I think when you get to a point where. Trump clouds your judgment and your life so much. You become a parody of yourself. And I think, unfortunately, they have.
I was wondering if maybe Jay Taber and CNN didn't realize to the degree how much the outside world views him that way. And again, that's...
say like i have friends in real life like we all do and they hate him and it's not just people on the right it's people in the center people on the center left because they just don't think he's a reliable person who continues to get rewarded over and over again in media like he is some kind of edward r murrow figure and it's just a fallacy okay let's talk about another place nbc where you and i both worked let's say the head of nbc news yeah
They're they're in the same way that their scalps on our side were like any Republican who does the wrong thing is like, you know, banned from all polite society. There need to be some scalps on their side to some people need to get fired for the work they did during this time. And, you know, completely biased reporting.
I would tell them that they need to hire some legitimately conservative Republicans.
Leading people to write their opinion columns and then I would be like you need to really take a reflection on the journalists who work in your newsroom like what kind of biases they're bringing to the table and I would have to go through it with like a fine tooth cone but you know I have a list of people in my brain that I trust and people that I would say. I mean, you and I both have people.
Maybe you don't, but I do. I have like people who work in politics and media who come to me and they're like, is this a safe person for me to talk to or is this person going to screw me? And I'll say they're good. They're bad. Stay away from them. I mean, like that to like spill too much tea.
I recently the Atlantic approached me about doing a profile and I was like, I wouldn't do a profile with the Atlantic if there was like money.
They want to do an interview with me. And I just am not. What's the point? Like to be called like Mrs. Waterford from The Handmaid's Tale. Like I'm just too awful.
Yeah. I also think one of the things that when people ask me about newsrooms, people talk a lot about diversity. But I think diversity also means, like, what area of the country are you from? Did you not go to an Ivy League school? What kind of socioeconomic background do you come from? Like, it can't just be, like, respectful to myself.
You know, rich nepo babies and went to Ivy League schools who are always, you know... A lot of times I work in newsrooms, like 50 percent of the time somebody is related to somebody famous or like their aunt is like a famous journalist or their person's like a famous politician. And I think that's and again, respectful to myself because a lot of my career benefited from that now.
But if I were in a newsroom, I'd be like, you need to start getting people from the middle of the country, people that did not go to Ivy League schools, whatever, people that go to like. You know, Arizona State has an incredible journalism school like you need to branch out and like you can't cover America if you don't understand America. And 90 percent of the time.
And again, respectful to you, too. I know you went tonight. Great. Like whatever. But I think that's part of the rot in this. It's like, yeah, never been to Iowa. How can you talk about the Iowa caucus?
He also put in Joe the Biden. I remember him like saying that, but they sort of like.
We called him like Joe the Biden. Joe the Biden. He thought that was so funny. He'd be like, Joe the Biden. I don't know. But yeah, they were, my parents actually, when they met, the Bidens were, they met in Hawaii. Joe and Jill were there. And they had a very nice relationship, like, you know, couple-y for a long time, I think until politics, quite frankly, got involved.
And then they sort of circled back around when my dad got sick. And I, it's tricky for me because President Biden was lovely to me when my dad was sick. Very kind, very, you know, like, answered tough questions about brain cancer. And then... And I've told this publicly. It's not something I'm secretive about. They asked me to endorse him.
His campaign approached me and asked me to endorse him at the DNC in 2020. And I said no because I'm still a conservative Republican. And... I never spoke to Biden's again. And his staff made it very, very clear that I was dead to them and their administration and their team. And I was so shocked by the experience because it was so ugly and bizarre. And, you know, he's like, I love everybody.
I love Republicans.
I will tell you offline, but they are no longer a person that's worth. They have gotten there. I will say they have gotten their karmic retribution that has nothing to do with me.
My mother, who I'm very close... And I should say, like, everyone in my family is liberal except me now. Like, they all, like... My mom hasn't officially switched parties like my brother Jimmy did. And we all... Like love each other and subsist together. My mother ended up ended up. I actually said call my mother and my mother ended up endorsing, which I support and appreciate.
