access to an individual ░░░░░░░░ and we can have ░░░░░░░░ journalistic ethics debate about ░░░░░░░░ and I I I ░░░░░░░░ I I m willing ░░░░░░░░ have that debate I ░░░░░░░░ pretty sure he just ░░░░░░░░ that he s willing ░░░░░░░░ have a conversation about ░░░░░░░░ journalistic ethics involved here ░░░░░░░░ there s a lot ░░░░░░░░ paths we can go ░░░░░░░░ here Chuck so yesterday ░░░░░░░░ Meet the Press they ░░░░░░░░ still doing that thing ░░░░░░░░ the way apparently Meet ░░░░░░░░ Press yeah it s ░░░░░░░░ a thing who knew ░░░░░░░░ knew uh Kristen Welker ░░░░░░░░ the host there and ░░░░░░░░ delivered an extraordinary opening ░░░░░░░░ explaining to her audience ░░░░░░░░ to her audience not ░░░░░░░░ about a guest that ░░░░░░░░ had booked but the ░░░░░░░░ that that guest is ░░░░░░░░ actually on the NBC ░░░░░░░░ payroll we re talking ░░░░░░░░ former chair woman R ░░░░░░░░ McDaniel and this was ░░░░░░░░ this was the beginning ░░░░░░░░ an extraordinary sequence of ░░░░░░░░ on Meet the Press ░░░░░░░░ we re gonna show ░░░░░░░░ you because I know ░░░░░░░░ don t watch it ░░░░░░░░ you need to see ░░░░░░░░ I ll be joined ░░░░░░░░ former RNC chair Ronda ░░░░░░░░ in her first interview ░░░░░░░░ stepping down as party ░░░░░░░░ in full disclosure to ░░░░░░░░ viewers this interview was ░░░░░░░░ weeks before it was ░░░░░░░░ that McDaniel would become ░░░░░░░░ paid NBC News contributor ░░░░░░░░ will be a news ░░░░░░░░ and I was not ░░░░░░░░ in her hiring this ░░░░░░░░ we learned just how ░░░░░░░░ Trump s grip on ░░░░░░░░ Republican Party is impacting ░░░░░░░░ GOP s bottom line ░░░░░░░░ love the transition there ░░░░░░░░ it was Gorge gorgeous ░░░░░░░░ there with the dramatic ░░░░░░░░ in Zoom I was ░░░░░░░░ involved in her hiring ░░░░░░░░ this will be a ░░░░░░░░ interview just so you ░░░░░░░░ now to my complete ░░░░░░░░ total unbiased fact based ░░░░░░░░ reporting has a grip ░░░░░░░░ the Republican Party it ░░░░░░░░ on yeah so R ░░░░░░░░ leaves the RNC and ░░░░░░░░ to work for NBC ░░░░░░░░ as a contributor as ░░░░░░░░ as a person to ░░░░░░░░ on and lend her ░░░░░░░░ to the Meet the ░░░░░░░░ panel or on all ░░░░░░░░ news shows on MSNBC ░░░░░░░░ I guess on Election ░░░░░░░░ or NBC News nightly ░░░░░░░░ whatever uh after the ░░░░░░░░ Kristen Welker s predecessor ░░░░░░░░ Todd comes onto the ░░░░░░░░ to denounce the executives ░░░░░░░░ NBC News for hiring ░░░░░░░░ woman in the first ░░░░░░░░ let me deal with ░░░░░░░░ elephant in the room ░░░░░░░░ I think our bosses ░░░░░░░░ you an apology for ░░░░░░░░ you in this situation ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ to believe she is ░░░░░░░░ a paid contributor by ░░░░░░░░ News I have no ░░░░░░░░ whether any answer she ░░░░░░░░ to you was because ░░░░░░░░ didn t want to ░░░░░░░░ up her contract um ░░░░░░░░ wants us to believe ░░░░░░░░ she was speaking for ░░░░░░░░ RNC when the RNC ░░░░░░░░ paying for her so ░░░░░░░░ has she has credibility ░░░░░░░░ that she still has ░░░░░░░░ deal with yeah is ░░░░░░░░ speaking for herself or ░░░░░░░░ she speaking on behalf ░░░░░░░░ who s paying her ░░░░░░░░ once at the RNC ░░░░░░░░ did say that hey ░░░░░░░░ m speaking for the ░░░░░░░░ I get that that ░░░░░░░░ part of the job ░░░░░░░░ what about here I ░░░░░░░░ will say this I ░░░░░░░░ your interview uh did ░░░░░░░░ good job of exposing ░░░░░░░░ think many of the ░░░░░░░░ and look there s ░░░░░░░░ reason why there s ░░░░░░░░ lot of journalists at ░░░░░░░░ News uncomfortable with this ░░░░░░░░ many of our professional ░░░░░░░░ with the RNC over ░░░░░░░░ last six years have ░░░░░░░░ met with gaslighting have ░░░░░░░░ met with character assassination ░░░░░░░░ it is you know ░░░░░░░░ s where you begin ░░░░░░░░ and so um when ░░░░░░░░ made the decision to ░░░░░░░░ her NBC News s ░░░░░░░░ you got to ask ░░░░░░░░ what does she bring ░░░░░░░░ News and when we ░░░░░░░░ deals like this and ░░░░░░░░ ve been at this ░░░░░░░░ a long time you ░░░░░░░░ doing it for Access ░░░░░░░░ to audience sometimes it ░░░░░░░░ access to an individual ░░░░░░░░ and we can have ░░░░░░░░ journalistic ethics debate about ░░░░░░░░ and I I I ░░░░░░░░ I I m willing ░░░░░░░░ have that debate and ░░░░░░░░ you told me we ░░░░░░░░ hiring her as a ░░░░░░░░ adviser to the Republican ░░░░░░░░ I think that would ░░░░░░░░ certainly um defensible if ░░░░░░░░ told me we re ░░░░░░░░ re talking to her ░░░░░░░░ let s let s ░░░░░░░░ how she does in ░░░░░░░░ interviews and maybe vet ░░░░░░░░ with actual journalist inside ░░░░░░░░ network see see if ░░░░░░░░ s a two way ░░░░░░░░ she can bring the ░░░░░░░░ so I do think ░░░░░░░░ this interview is always ░░░░░░░░ to be looked through ░░░░░░░░ prism of who is ░░░░░░░░ speaking for now we ░░░░░░░░ get back to Chuck ░░░░░░░░ a minute but I ░░░░░░░░ pretty sure he just ░░░░░░░░ that he s willing ░░░░░░░░ have a conversation about ░░░░░░░░ journalistic ethics involved here ░░░░░░░░ there s a lot ░░░░░░░░ paths we can go ░░░░░░░░ here Chuck with regard ░░░░░░░░ the journalistic ethics involved ░░░░░░░░ your career because we ░░░░░░░░ spend the next I ░░░░░░░░ t know eight nine ░░░░░░░░ hours filling this program ░░░░░░░░ you pushing the Russian ░░░░░░░░ hoax on your viewers ░░░░░░░░ lies about the steel ░░░░░░░░ how about the lies ░░░░░░░░ the effectiveness of the ░░░░░░░░ the Covid shot that ░░░░░░░░ were forcing on American ░░░░░░░░ and publicly shaming them ░░░░░░░░ day if they didn ░░░░░░░░ get this shot or ░░░░░░░░ else related to Covid ░░░░░░░░ oh wait a minute ░░░░░░░░ s do that big ░░░░░░░░ you did Chuck could ░░░░░░░░ roll the segment out ░░░░░░░░ you did on the ░░░░░░░░ Biden laptop story and ░░░░░░░░ 51 intelligence agents said ░░░░░░░░ it was Russian disinformation ░░░░░░░░ it shouldn t be ░░░░░░░░ about yeah we could ░░░░░░░░ about that too couldn ░░░░░░░░ we and it goes ░░░░░░░░ and on and on ░░░░░░░░ journalistic ethics involved in ░░░░░░░░ Todd s oversight of ░░░░░░░░ News out of the ░░░░░░░░ D C Bureau is ░░░░░░░░ stunning and beautiful but ░░░░░░░░ know what let s ░░░░░░░░ go there Chuck because ░░░░░░░░ I said it s ░░░░░░░░ of coverage just hours ░░░░░░░░ know what instead let ░░░░░░░░ turn to another one ░░░░░░░░ your colleagues who not ░░░░░░░░ is a contributor to ░░░░░░░░ News but she she ░░░░░░░░ got her own show ░░░░░░░░ on MSNBC her name ░░░░░░░░ Jen saki now maybe ░░░░░░░░ remember Jens saki s ░░░░░░░░ Chuck help me out ░░░░░░░░ because you re the ░░░░░░░░ of journalistic Ethics right ░░░░░░░░ Jens saki before she ░░░░░░░░ the job at NBC ░░░░░░░░ didn t she stand ░░░░░░░░ at the podium at ░░░░░░░░ Biden s White House

░░░░░░░░ time again Jens saki ░░░░░░░░ about the Biden Administration ░░░░░░░░ censorship oh Mr journalistic ░░░░░░░░ and champion of the ░░░░░░░░ Amendment Chuck Todd can ░░░░░░░░ get your colleague Jens ░░░░░░░░ on to tell us ░░░░░░░░ the fact that she ░░░░░░░░ her White House colluded ░░░░░░░░ social media companies to ░░░░░░░░ and delete accounts because ░░░░░░░░ dared to have a ░░░░░░░░ second opinion I m ░░░░░░░░ about doctors literal doctors ░░░░░░░░ Yale from Stanford who ░░░░░░░░ this keeping schools closed ░░░░░░░░ Covid is bull that ░░░░░░░░ not doing anything it ░░░░░░░░ just harming kids this ░░░░░░░░ is not only killing ░░░░░░░░ economy but it s ░░░░░░░░ keeping people from going ░░░░░░░░ getting cancer screenings more ░░░░░░░░ will die because of ░░░░░░░░ more people will die ░░░░░░░░ of the vaccine mandates ░░░░░░░░ by the way the ░░░░░░░░ shot doesn t actually ░░░░░░░░ what the government is ░░░░░░░░ us to do Jens ░░░░░░░░ and her White House ░░░░░░░░ involved in the censorship ░░░░░░░░ all of that on ░░░░░░░░ media pressuring other journalists ░░░░░░░░ not cover those stories ░░░░░░░░ then lied about it ░░░░░░░░ the podium and Chuck ░░░░░░░░ s right down the ░░░░░░░░ from you right now ░░░░░░░░ you re worried about ░░░░░░░░ woman who ran a ░░░░░░░░ committee for spinning things ░░░░░░░░ at that smile on ░░░░░░░░ face I m more ░░░░░░░░ willing to have the ░░░░░░░░ about the journalistic ethics ░░░░░░░░ you re right though ░░░░░░░░ s not fair let ░░░░░░░░ not talk to Jen ░░░░░░░░ how about we talk ░░░░░░░░ Simone Sanders who just ░░░░░░░░ worked for kamla Harris ░░░░░░░░ the vice president s ░░░░░░░░ shop and before that ░░░░░░░░ the campaign she was ░░░░░░░░ spokesperson for Bernie Sanders ░░░░░░░░ now she works as ░░░░░░░░ as a paid journalist ░░░░░░░░ NBC News oh wait ░░░░░░░░ minute did I mention ░░░░░░░░ I mention Bernie Sanders ░░░░░░░░ Chuck back to you ░░░░░░░░ this is actually about ░░░░░░░░ or more specifically about ░░░░░░░░ wife

░░░░░░░░ we know about those ░░░░░░░░ Sanders girls right hey ░░░░░░░░ that really great interview ░░░░░░░░ Chuck Todd had with ░░░░░░░░ Amy cliter of Minnesota ░░░░░░░░ ran for president back ░░░░░░░░ 2020 do you remember ░░░░░░░░ oh sure Chuck had ░░░░░░░░ of the political candidates ░░░░░░░░ but he definitely had ░░░░░░░░ cliter on why well ░░░░░░░░ Amy cliter is actually ░░░░░░░░ Todd s tenant sure ░░░░░░░░ why didn t you ░░░░░░░░ that Chuck Todd owns ░░░░░░░░ townhouse in Arlington Virginia ░░░░░░░░ he rents out to ░░░░░░░░ Amy clober and then ░░░░░░░░ there she is on ░░░░░░░░ show that s pretty ░░░░░░░░ I wonder if she ░░░░░░░░ for a break on ░░░░░░░░ rent or I wonder ░░░░░░░░ you charged more that ░░░░░░░░ journalistic ethics all the ░░░░░░░░ ethics going on over ░░░░░░░░ I d say that ░░░░░░░░ the Press is really ░░░░░░░░ sad shell of what ░░░░░░░░ used to be because ░░░░░░░░ ll hear people all ░░░░░░░░ long today on on ░░░░░░░░ news and radio and ░░░░░░░░ oh Tim russer is ░░░░░░░░ over in his grave ░░░░░░░░ russer is rolling over ░░░░░░░░ grave Tim russer was ░░░░░░░░ political adviser for then ░░░░░░░░ Mario Cuomo yeah the ░░░░░░░░ of Andrew Cuomo and ░░░░░░░░ Cuomo this is nothing ░░░░░░░░ let s ask Jake ░░░░░░░░ about it oh Jake ░░░░░░░░ also worked for a ░░░░░░░░ congressman and so did ░░░░░░░░ Chuck Todd worked for ░░░░░░░░ Democrat this is all ░░░░░░░░ and total asinine hypocrisy ░░░░░░░░ s what my mentor ░░░░░░░░ Breitbart right there used ░░░░░░░░ call the Democrat media ░░░░░░░░ the revolving door you ░░░░░░░░ in the media today ░░░░░░░░ work in the White ░░░░░░░░ tomorrow you work on ░░░░░░░░ Hill for a Democrat ░░░░░░░░ you work on cable ░░░░░░░░ tomorrow but you know ░░░░░░░░ they get the job ░░░░░░░░ journalistic ethics there s ░░░░░░░░ firewall there None of ░░░░░░░░ None of it influences ░░░░░░░░ right right George Stephanopoulos ░░░░░░░░ so there s one ░░░░░░░░ one person makes their ░░░░░░░░ onto a network show ░░░░░░░░ McDaniel we ll get ░░░░░░░░ her in a minute ░░░░░░░░ the fact that they ░░░░░░░░ losing their mind over ░░░░░░░░ of all people one ░░░░░░░░ makes her way on ░░░░░░░░ television and they all ░░░░░░░░ completely insane speaking of ░░░░░░░░ you know these two ░░░░░░░░ to chime in about ░░░░░░░░ you know these two ░░░░░░░░ to make the story ░░░░░░░░ themselves you know I ░░░░░░░░ t want to be ░░░░░░░░ actually I think I ░░░░░░░░ want to be mean ░░░░░░░░ s going on with ░░░░░░░░ brazinski is you remember ░░░░░░░░ everyone was like that ░░░░░░░░ not really Kate Middleton ░░░░░░░░ s not really Kate ░░░░░░░░ what s going on ░░░░░░░░ is a camera trick ░░░░░░░░ ve got a body ░░░░░░░░ I I think we ░░░░░░░░ Kate Middleton is on ░░░░░░░░ Joe Scarboro wearing a ░░░░░░░░ brazinski mask or if ░░░░░░░░ may Prince Harry is ░░░░░░░░ the set wearing a ░░░░░░░░ present the what s ░░░░░░░░ on with her she ░░░░░░░░ s kind of a ░░░░░░░░ Vibe going on there ░░░░░░░░ I Wrong this that ░░░░░░░░ like a dude dressed ░░░░░░░░ like Mika brazinski a ░░░░░░░░ in drag going as ░░░░░░░░ brazinski for Halloween all ░░░░░░░░ remember what I said ░░░░░░░░ didn t want to ░░░░░░░░ mean fake news all ░░░░░░░░ let s hear what ░░░░░░░░ reaction was this morning ░░░░░░░░ s talk about uh ░░░░░░░░ hiring of former RNC ░░░░░░░░ Ron McDaniel well uh ░░░░░░░░ was on Sunday s ░░░░░░░░ the Press it was ░░░░░░░░ first appearance since the ░░░░░░░░ and since NBC News ░░░░░░░░ her is a political ░░░░░░░░ uh I know you ░░░░░░░░ t be surprised to ░░░░░░░░ that we ve been ░░░░░░░░ with calls this weekend ░░░░░░░░ have uh most people ░░░░░░░░ with this network about ░░░░░░░░ s decision to hire ░░░░░░░░ uh we learned about ░░░░░░░░ hiring when we read ░░░░░░░░ it in the Press ░░░░░░░░ Friday uh we weren ░░░░░░░░ asked our opinion of ░░░░░░░░ hiring but if we ░░░░░░░░ we would have strongly ░░░░░░░░ to it for several ░░░░░░░░ reasons uh including but ░░░░░░░░ limited to as lawyers ░░░░░░░░ say Miss McDaniel s ░░░░░░░░ in Donald Trump s ░░░░░░░░ elector scheme and her ░░░░░░░░ election officials to not ░░░░░░░░ election results while Donald ░░░░░░░░ was on the phone ░░░░░░░░ be clear We Believe ░░░░░░░░ News should seek out ░░░░░░░░ Republican voices to you ░░░░░░░░ honestly I forgot how ░░░░░░░░ this show is to ░░░░░░░░ clear we think NBC ░░░░░░░░ so they think NBC ░░░░░░░░ should seek out Conservative ░░░░░░░░ voices well you know ░░░░░░░░ s funny if they ░░░░░░░░ their own show every ░░░░░░░░ they could roll out ░░░░░░░░ red carpet and they ░░░░░░░░ populate the set with ░░░░░░░░ Republican voices couldn t ░░░░░░░░ oh wait they do ░░░░░░░░ their own show the ░░░░░░░░ Conservative Republican voice allowed ░░░░░░░░ that show is somebody ░░░░░░░░ the left of Joe ░░░░░░░░ which is saying something ░░░░░░░░ he s growing out ░░░░░░░░ Carl Marx beard next ░░░░░░░░ we think NBC News ░░░░░░░░ hire many Conservative Republican ░░░░░░░░ now let s turn ░░░░░░░░ analysis with Reverend Al ░░░░░░░░ absolutely unwatchable by the ░░░░░░░░ NBC News talk about ░░░░░░░░ lunatics running the Asylum ░░░░░░░░ you hire this person ░░░░░░░░ knows how much money ░░░░░░░░ gave R McDaniel uh ░░░░░░░░ the her first booking ░░░░░░░░ Meet the Press it ░░░░░░░░ Anarchy they have a ░░░░░░░░ tantrum on the air ░░░░░░░░ call out the exact ░░░░░░░░ should have never hired ░░░░░░░░ they should have never ░░░░░░░░ you in this place ░░░░░░░░ have to interview her ░░░░░░░░ then this breaks from ░░░░░░░░ Mail MSNBC won t ░░░░░░░░ her MSNBC is not ░░░░░░░░ book her for any ░░░░░░░░ the shows on their ░░░░░░░░ so you re NBC ░░░░░░░░ you hire this person ░░░░░░░░ she gets completely if ░░░░░░░░ were her I wouldn ░░░░░░░░ go on Meet the ░░░░░░░░ after that display right ░░░░░░░░ what she get whatever ░░░░░░░░ you paid for her ░░░░░░░░ probably expect her well ░░░░░░░░ ll be a regular ░░░░░░░░ Morning Joe she ll ░░░░░░░░ on Lawrence O Donnell ░░░░░░░░ show maybe she ll ░░░░░░░░ out with uh you ░░░░░░░░ somebody midday on MSNBC ░░░░░░░░ then you know once ░░░░░░░░ month she ll do ░░░░░░░░ the Press and then ░░░░░░░░ she ll be with ░░░░░░░░ for the convention and ░░░░░░░░ election night now all ░░░░░░░░ got is convention and ░░░░░░░░ night if that which ░░░░░░░░ us to R McDaniel ░░░░░░░░ lost in all of ░░░░░░░░ is her actual appearance ░░░░░░░░ Meet the Press I ░░░░░░░░ what did she say ░░░░░░░░ you ll be happy ░░░░░░░░ know that it s ░░░░░░░░ confirmation of who you ░░░░░░░░ always known Ron McDaniel ░░░░░░░░ be let s Dive ░░░░░░░░ into this and start ░░░░░░░░ your decision to step ░░░░░░░░ as RNC chair if ░░░░░░░░ can take me behind ░░░░░░░░ scenes a little bit ░░░░░░░░ you pushed out of ░░░░░░░░ role well there s ░░░░░░░░ question that as RNC ░░░░░░░░ you have to remain ░░░░░░░░ and we had a ░░░░░░░░ process and so we ░░░░░░░░ have debates right we ░░░░░░░░ debates and there was ░░░░░░░░ and a little friction ░░░░░░░░ started during that process ░░░░░░░░ was well played out ░░░░░░░░ the media and I ░░░░░░░░ at that point when ░░░░░░░░ was doing that role ░░░░░░░░ we were going to ░░░░░░░░ debates that when the ░░░░░░░░ came forward and it ░░░░░░░░ likely to be President ░░░░░░░░ that they would want ░░░░░░░░ switch and that s ░░░░░░░░ right as nominee and ░░░░░░░░ were you pushed out ░░░░░░░░ him he he absolutely ░░░░░░░░ me to to move ░░░░░░░░ and wanted Michael Watley ░░░░░░░░ Lura Trump to come ░░░░░░░░ um speaking of debates ░░░░░░░░ had debates we had ░░░░░░░░ Hey Kevin Kevin a ░░░░░░░░ voice of producer of ░░░░░░░░ show Kevin you there ░░░░░░░░ sir we saw Ron ░░░░░░░░ at the debate down ░░░░░░░░ Miami didn t we ░░░░░░░░ absolutely did we chatted ░░░░░░░░ her we did a ░░░░░░░░ stream from the from ░░░░░░░░ spin room there and ░░░░░░░░ revealed on the air ░░░░░░░░ unprovoked that she had ░░░░░░░░ contribution to the the ░░░░░░░░ Virginia election last November ░░░░░░░░ was the day after ░░░░░░░░ election if I remember ░░░░░░░░ and she claimed that ░░░░░░░░ Yen and the Republican ░░░░░░░░ of Virginia said they ░░░░░░░░ t want any money ░░░░░░░░ the RNC and of ░░░░░░░░ that was denied right ░░░░░░░░ that all happened then ░░░░░░░░ that was strange wasn ░░░░░░░░ it sure was sort ░░░░░░░░ the beginning of the ░░░░░░░░ in this last uh ░░░░░░░░ for her but but ░░░░░░░░ me out here that ░░░░░░░░ down in Miami that ░░░░░░░░ the one where VC ░░░░░░░░ called her out from ░░░░░░░░ stage wasn t it ░░░░░░░░ s correct yeah what ░░░░░░░░ was that debate on ░░░░░░░░ know I m GNA ░░░░░░░░ to go ahead and ░░░░░░░░ it was ABC I ░░░░░░░░ sorry Kevin I hate ░░░░░░░░ do this to you ░░░░░░░░ was NBC News oh ░░░░░░░░ me same network that ░░░░░░░░ her you know and ░░░░░░░░ I remember Kristen Welker ░░░░░░░░ the moderator that s ░░░░░░░░ there she is Kristen ░░░░░░░░ was the moderator in ░░░░░░░░ it really elevated Kristen ░░░░░░░░ s uh uh stature ░░░░░░░░ being able to be ░░░░░░░░ moderator of that debate ░░░░░░░░ R McDaniel was responsible ░░░░░░░░ that was in charge ░░░░░░░░ right I wonder if ░░░░░░░░ were any conversations between ░░░░░░░░ two bastions and champions ░░░░░░░░ journalistic Ethics I wonder ░░░░░░░░ they had any conversation ░░░░░░░░ night at the debate ░░░░░░░░ Ron McDaniel s future ░░░░░░░░ I wonder if anybody ░░░░░░░░ NBC News spoke with ░░░░░░░░ McDaniel that night when ░░░░░░░░ was still chairwoman of ░░░░░░░░ RNC about whether she ░░░░░░░░ fit in with NBC ░░░░░░░░ and her new pal ░░░░░░░░ Christen Welker It s ░░░░░░░░ isn t it it ░░░░░░░░ hilarious because I I ░░░░░░░░ remember that both of ░░░░░░░░ women were Prime targets ░░░░░░░░ V RIS Swami from ░░░░░░░░ stage V went after ░░░░░░░░ of them and they ░░░░░░░░ that in Capa maybe ░░░░░░░░ bonded over it yeah ░░░░░░░░ are working together but ░░░░░░░░ know it s all ░░░░░░░░ the journalistic ethics Kevin ░░░░░░░░ voice Kevin thank you ░░░░░░░░ yeah it s h ░░░░░░░░ s really something here ░░░░░░░░ the bottom line here ░░░░░░░░ McDaniel is a belt ░░░░░░░░ political functionary she wasit ░░░░░░░░ chairperson of a political ░░░░░░░░ a party doesn t ░░░░░░░░ do much can can ░░░░░░░░ prove to you how ░░░░░░░░ the importance of Ron ░░░░░░░░ and this big reaction ░░░░░░░░ Ron McDaniel is from ░░░░░░░░ democ from the media ░░░░░░░░ the Democrats I m ░░░░░░░░ to prove it to ░░░░░░░░ can you name me ░░░░░░░░ chair of the Democratic ░░░░░░░░ Committee of the DNC ░░░░░░░░ you know who it ░░░░░░░░ do you have any ░░░░░░░░ who it is right ░░░░░░░░ have no idea who ░░░░░░░░ chair of the DNC ░░░░░░░░ it s irrelevant it ░░░░░░░░ t matter why because ░░░░░░░░ you re the chair ░░░░░░░░ the DNC you don ░░░░░░░░ have every single person ░░░░░░░░ the mainstream media lined ░░░░░░░░ to destroy you like ░░░░░░░░ you re the chair ░░░░░░░░ the RNC if they ░░░░░░░░ cared about politics and ░░░░░░░░ delivered news and information ░░░░░░░░ the American people about ░░░░░░░░ going on in politics ░░░░░░░░ wouldn t they be ░░░░░░░░ to the DNC chair ░░░░░░░░ as much as they ░░░░░░░░ t and you couldn ░░░░░░░░ even tell me who ░░░░░░░░ DNC chair is McDaniel ░░░░░░░░ an inside the Beltway ░░░░░░░░ functionary she s not ░░░░░░░░ ideologue she s not ░░░░░░░░ champion of basic conservative ░░░░░░░░ and principles she s ░░░░░░░░ even an expert on ░░░░░░░░ to win an election ░░░░░░░░ this is how NBC ░░░░░░░░ Meet the Press Chuck ░░░░░░░░ MSNBC Morning Joe and ░░░░░░░░ over there at the ░░░░░░░░ is a peacock Network ░░░░░░░░ Is How They react ░░░░░░░░ R McDaniel imagine Joe ░░░░░░░░ we really think they ░░░░░░░░ hire more conservative Republicans ░░░░░░░░ hiring somebody that actually ░░░░░░░░ an opinion a strong ░░░░░░░░ who can effectively communicate ░░░░░░░░ idea imagine how they ░░░░░░░░ react and we can ░░░░░░░░ how they would react ░░░░░░░░ know exactly how they ░░░░░░░░ react and so do ░░░░░░░░ executives at NBC News ░░░░░░░░ s why the one ░░░░░░░░ they do hire is ░░░░░░░░ like Ron McDaniel and ░░░░░░░░ still go nuts and ░░░░░░░░ s why you will ░░░░░░░░ actually see anything coming ░░░░░░░░ the close to equal ░░░░░░░░ or equal voices expressing ░░░░░░░░ that reflect what you ░░░░░░░░ and what you think ░░░░░░░░ what your life is ░░░░░░░░ and how you vote ░░░░░░░░ what candidates you support ░░░░░░░░ s why because they ░░░░░░░░ t care about you ░░░░░░░░ they don t even ░░░░░░░░ about their audience they ░░░░░░░░ about keeping their prining ░░░░░░░░ important Superstars at Bay ░░░░░░░░ you just saw them ░░░░░░░░ a little bit of ░░░░░░░░ muscle this weekend but ░░░░░░░░ of this translates into ░░░░░░░░ very important lesson if ░░░░░░░░ get this upset about ░░░░░░░░ McDaniel and they can ░░░░░░░░ handle having her voice ░░░░░░░░ what 50 on that ░░░░░░░░ it tells you how ░░░░░░░░ they are right now ░░░░░░░░ how they can t ░░░░░░░░ support their own positions ░░░░░░░░ a modum with one ░░░░░░░░ who doesn t even ░░░░░░░░ herself in any sort ░░░░░░░░ principal conservative way and ░░░░░░░░ still shrink in Terror ░░░░░░░░ scream and have a ░░░░░░░░ tantrum they re losing ░░░░░░░░ they re losing so ░░░░░░░░ that they can t ░░░░░░░░ put up an argument ░░░░░░░░ a fight against Ron ░░░░░░░░ this is going to ░░░░░░░░ a really fun nine ░░░░░░░░ ahead of [Music] us
