| 0:00.0 | All right, welcome, everybody. |
| 0:08.5 | Let's start with something very interesting as far as the show is concerned, which is that |
| 0:12.8 | yesterday I was in Washington, D.C., and met with President Joe Biden. |
| 0:18.0 | So let me tell you what this was all about. |
| 0:20.0 | And I think there are some important |
| 0:21.4 | takeaways here with regard to the next four years and so many things that we've all been talking |
| 0:28.8 | about. So first and foremost, what was the context of this meeting? I went for a meeting with |
| 0:35.5 | administration officials from what's called the Office of Digital Engagement. |
| 0:40.2 | Now, for folks who have been following prior White Houses, there has been no such thing in the past. |
| 0:47.8 | And so one of the things I've said that's been notable about the Biden White House is that such an office exists, a group of people specifically designed |
| 0:56.1 | to be intermediaries between the administration and online creators like me as an alternative |
| 1:04.7 | to the legacy corporate media being the only media apparatus that is even kept informed about what's going on |
| 1:12.9 | at the White House or has access to the president. |
| 1:16.2 | Now, I will give you the good and then the not so good. |
| 1:20.0 | The fact that we, it was a group of 10 of us, myself included, were invited, was a great |
| 1:25.7 | thing because it means they understand the importance, particularly |
| 1:30.3 | in the context of Kamala Harris recently, having lost an election in which she did not engage |
| 1:36.3 | with online media, I would argue, anywhere approximating what should have been done. |
| 1:41.3 | It's a sign that they understand the importance. |
| 1:43.3 | It's a sign that they want to build these relationships. |
| 1:46.4 | And of course, a lot of you are probably saying, but David, they just lost and they've |
| 1:50.3 | got a month to go. |
