“I think everybody needs to tone it, tone it the F down. Just tone it down. Just bring down the volume. Because if we're all loud about everything, nothing penetrates. I think we're facing big dangers when it comes to our sovereignty, when it comes to our democratic process, our elections. We have a foreign power that's trying to manipulate us. We need to focus on that. That is a huge story. You can't let that keep happening. Otherwise, where will we be? Look at that story in the New York Times about Idaho Falls and fake news, how it's ripping the town apart. That's a really scary story. It terrified me.”

“Doing different things. Yeah, which they did, and then they voted for Donald Trump. The message for them is a purely economic message, but Democrats like Donald Trump's Republican competitors as well get caught up in, again, the daily controversy. Donald Trump is horrible for saying this. So Donald Trump is horrible for saying that, or Donald Trump is trying to do this or that. I mean, I think the problem is it can't be about Donald Trump.”

“Yeah, I mean, it's hard because, again, it's the president of the United States. How do you ignore the president of the United States when he says something, it is necessarily news. When he is, there's no diplomacy with North Korea. When the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Bob Corker says, I think he's putting us in danger. You have to cover that. That is a huge story. We have North Korea and nukes. How do you not cover the president going after a gold star family, another widow? How do you not focus on the change in In what we find acceptable in this country, the sea change of how Americans not only are perceived, but what we tolerate, I mean, there is so much happening culturally that demands our attention. We have to figure out a way to balance that. And talk about what is happening behind this big picture.”

“It's dangerous. It's dangerous. When are you going to believe it? The surprises and the indignation is misplaced. And it's not effective. I think we need to come at everything with the knowledge of what happened in the campaign, which is not to normalize any of this, but to try and follow what matters more than, again, the bouncing ball, more than the daily tweets or the daily controversy or the fight that he's in today. It's hard because that gets so much attention. It's hard because that's what everybody is talking about. It's hard to pull it back and say, wait, hold on, while you weren't looking, this regulation just got rolled back or this committee just passed this bill and is trying to, I don't know, undo Dodd-Frank or, I mean, any of the number of things that were put into place to protect.”

I think that there's a lot of things that are happening there that aren't getting enough attention and could have severe consequences for the future. I think we're falling into the same trap.”

“I wonder if you think so too little media attention is. They've essentially begun to dismantle the government, its regulations, its consumer safety, its financial security. The cross-the-board gamut of regulations that have been changed or are in the process of being changed that will be extraordinarily difficult to undo. Do you think that that's getting enough attention vis- ⁇-vis, so in essence, Donald Trump is accomplishing a huge amount? That is true. But is it the things that people sort of expected and are really thinking about?”

“I want to talk about the Democrats in a minute, but Sarah Huckabee Sanders yesterday, the press secretary, said at a briefing something that got everybody sort of all up in arms again when she said that Donald Trump has accomplished more in his nine months than Barack Obama did. It's a lie. But what I thought was interesting, and I wonder if the media is covering this enough, which is clearly they've had no legislative victories to speak of.

“But there are still 49 Republican senators. I think it's becoming clearer that the Republican Party, as we knew it, is ceasing to exist. It's now becoming the party of Donald Trump, whatever that is. And then the question is, what is a party? What is a policy for the party of Donald Trump? Where do you stand on things? Is it just finding a way to say how great he is all the time? Is that what the Republican Party is going to be going forward? So, I mean, we cover the fracturing of the party and where it goes next every day. We cover the press briefing. We try to fact-check it as needed. We fact-check the president as needed. We're trying to follow this Zeitgeist. Where does it lead next? And then the Democrats, what's going on with the Democrats?”

“It is everything in relation to. Everything now is in relation to Donald Trump. How do people, not do you vote on my side, but are you praising me? And that's where this administration stands. It's not enough to be a conservative. It's not enough to be a Republican voting Republican. You've got to be a Republican who is enthusiastic about the president, who is willing to ignore the times that he lies, is willing to say how great he is on camera in those boardroom-esque, as we call them, where he has everyone go around the room and tell him how great it is.”

“It is. I mean, it's exhausting even from the position that I'm in as an anchor covering it every day. I mean, it was exhausting during the campaign and it was infuriating and also just tiring having to stand up for basic facts. Yes, gravity exists. You know, CNN has a great ad out right now, and I shouldn't be promoting a competitor, but it's a great ad this is an Apple. You may hear people say it's a banana, but it's not. It's an apple.

“I didn't want to go to Washington. I think what made me so effective during this campaign was that I wasn't a political animal and I shouldn't become a political animal. I also a smart decision. I had had enough of the daily interaction with him and his team. I did it. I wanted to write this book. It would have been really difficult to write this book had I been in the White House press corps. On a personal level, I'm getting married. So I wanted to maintain this relationship.

“Enthusiasm, and I thought you can't discount it. And bringing the emails back up, the Comey stuff was a way for Donald Trump to convince weary Republicans, moderates, or people on the fence that they should come home. They should vote for him and they can't take the risk. I know everyone will say but her emails, but her emails. I don't know either. I was covering the Trump campaign, so I rarely talked about that. There's all those answers will come out sooner or sooner or later, probably a little bit down the line, if anything. Or not, or nothing.”

“They would dance around it, you know, because it's an uncomfortable thing. I was talking to one staffer about his attacks on the press and more in general. I don't like to just make it about me towards the end of the campaign. And I said, does he know what he's doing? Does he know that he's putting us in danger? Does he remember Roanoke, the two reporters that got killed on camera? Is you worried about it? Yes, he knows. No, he's not worried about it. He doesn't care. Doesn't care”

One, his campaign went completely dark. 50 former and current Republican lawmakers were either calling for him to drop out or calling for him or saying they weren't going to vote for him. The crescendo of condemnation was a crescendo. It was loud. Then again, I knew that Donald Trump was not somebody who would ever drop out of anything. He would never quit. And if you force, if you pushed him back into a corner, he would just fight harder. So what happened in, what was going to happen in the debate was my question.

Make out Donald Trump's voice distinctly, it's a voice at that point I knew better than my own, and you know, he's talking about trying to sleep with a married woman. He's saying these things that on a hot mic that clearly he would. If he knew, although he had been saying wild stuff on Howard Stern before, so this is not totally out of character. But hearing him say, you can grab them by the pussy was, I mean, my jaw, a cartoonishly dropped to the floor.

“Yeah, exactly. A little Kim Jong-un, little Katie Tur, a little Bob Corker. He'll go after men, though, as well, and he called Tommy Yamas' sleeves, for instance. I think that there's probably a lot of reasons why he singled me out so much. I'm not in his head, so I can't tell you the one overwhelming factor that was at play. But I will say this. I was on the campaign trail earlier than anyone else. I was the first network news correspondent assigned to cover him full-time. The first one to essentially take him seriously as a presidential candidate. And there were long months where I was the only familiar face in a room for him. So he knew if he wanted to go after the press. You were teaching. Yeah, and he knew if he wanted to make someone the face of it that I would be back there because I was always there. He got to know me.”
