Welcome to 1947. I'm Chuck Todd. My guest today is Andrew Sullivan.

Who recently wrote that his addiction to the internet was so bad,

it might have been causing his own health to deteriorate.

We'll talk about that, plus his take on the Obama years,

and why marijuana and marriage might be the only two things that unifies Americans.

This is 1947.

Ladies and gentlemen, we invite you to meet the press.

Meet the press.

I'm joined now by Andrew Sullivan, anyone online in the early years of the internet knows him very well

as one of the original bloggers, opinionated, fast and smart.

Last year he famously closed down his website, The Daily Dish,

and took a residence at New York Magazine.

In September, he wrote a cover story about his decision to detox from all things digital

and he said the rest of us in Washington and New York feel like actual addicts.

Mr. Sullivan, welcome to 1947.

Thank you Chuck. That's nice to see you.

It's good to talk to you. There's a couple things I want to talk to you about.

I want to get to the digital detox here in a little bit,

but it is your take on this election and the observation

that only two things unite us, but they're fascinating.

In fact, there was an extra passion to read from your piece, so do it.

This is a reflection on the last eight years, really.
