“Yeah, I mean, if you're so messaging MAs from a policy, and I messaged for a president for whom the policies were very unpopular, but the ideology was very clear. Yeah. So I don't honestly, I don't, I mean, the bunker buster bombs are what you're talking about. And I think that's the debate on the right around which they're split. But I think they're split on something more that's going to cleave that movement open at an emotional level. I mean, I think there's a place where Trump is so right he's left, where you get some of these far left guys that become MAGA characters is around non-interventionalism. And so I don't know how he keeps his coalition together at all. If I were him making a calculation and if I were a foreign country trying to make a bet, I would bet that he doesn't do all that Israel wants him to do, knowing that the elected Republican officials have sacrificed their identity.”

“Yeah, and he didn't go to Israel. And then his first term, he went to Saudi Arabia and Israel. So I think it's an open question how much affinity he has for BB Netanyahu. And I think it's an open question how much appetite he has for getting involved really at all.”

“Foreign policy apparatus. He doesn't seem to have the capacity for a policy process. I think that what he says will be what he thinks. And I think we'll have a sense of it really soon. I think it's probably a very precarious feeling. I've been watching the relationship between Trump and Netanyahu more closely than anything because I think when he started to lose a little bit of interest in Putin, I wondered if Netanyahu would be next and he didn't lose interest in Putin. His first trip was to be celebrated by all these MIDI leaders.”

“And I don't know if it's just a sign of my own age, but I just keep thinking about, and I think about this when I cover the Ukraine war, you know, think about being a parent and worrying about keeping your family safe with these two, you know, adversaries fighting about missile and aerial dominance. That's a military term in real life. It's people terrified in their own homes. And I don't know much about what Trump is going to do from day to day, but I do think there's a pattern over nine years where he seems to have an aversion to military intervention. He likes to talk about displays of military might. That's what the parade was about. But I find his language around getting, I mean, everything about Russia and Ukraine seems to be about taking Putin's side, right? And about ending a war. So I am waiting along with the rest of the world to see what his reflexes are because he doesn't have a big.”

“Look, I think all the time about when they'll miss their credibility with the whole country, right? Trump has incredibly high negatives and lack of trust and approval from more than half of the American people. And when you miss it most is when the country has to speak with one voice. And it's why the old sort of politics end at the water's edge used to apply because you had a national interest in the whole country being behind your leader on the foreign policy stage. And that started to go away with Bush and Obama as well. But I think”

“Yeah, I mean, look, we picked people who I felt like helped unlock something that helped me get through the last nine years. And I think I said this to someone the other day that if we're going to get through this moment and we look back and we wonder what was this about, I think it was about reconnecting all of us to our communities. And I think that's, and I think that's, you know, to your point and to your sort of model and your leadership in this space, I think that's why it works. It doesn't just work. I think it's why it soars. And I love what I do at MSNBC, but I think I wanted more and I think people want more. And I think they want to feel like they're sitting in a community with you and you're not reading a teleprompter. And it's not going to stop when you have to go to break. And they get a little deeper if they want. Yeah.”

“The funny thing is, we didn't have any parameters. I mean, you and I talked politics, we talked podcasting, we talked parenting. You know, people talk about whatever's on their mind and there's not a lot of production. You can't make someone talk about what they want to talk about and you can't keep a topic off balance. It's too long and it's too honest and you're just two people with your headphones on. So the conversation is all veered into politics, but people weren't booked because of a political moment.”

“Yeah, I thought I would reappropriate what I actually thought was a good branding effort on his part and platform the people who really are the best people to me. But I'm true.”

“Yeah, and when he tapped Mattis and Ketley and people that seemed trusted, he seemed to fulfill that. When he won the second time and tapped my gates to be Attorney General, it was clear that the best people was over, right? Like the season for the best people had passed.”

“Well, the real reason is I thought it was Trump's best brand in 16. I think that the way some people who liked him and you and I talked about this in our conversation, they like the celebrity, but if a little kernel of them worried that, well, maybe he doesn't know how to run the government, he promised to bring in the best people”

“I feel like such a beginner, and I know all the self-help is try something new. But I thought, what am I going to try new? And this is really new. And the night before the first episode's drop, I tried to pull them. I listened to them and I thought they were terrible and I tried to yank them. But it was too late. I just was so embarrassed. I thought, oh my God, it's so much of me. And eyeing and talking, and I was mortified. But I think that might be part of it. You learn in front of everybody and maybe that's what people come along for. Absolutely.”
