But there's a writer's room somewhere.

Somewhere.

Yeah, and in that writer's room, they are figuring out these seasonal arcs that are just,

they're just gobsmacking.

Like, for instance, you know, remember for a moment there, it was, it was very plausible

that he was going to win the election but start serving in prison.

Hi, everyone. It's Nicole Wallace from Deadline White House. I'm here with a new project. It's called The Best People with Nicole Wallace. The Best People are accomplished, but they're also accessible.

And here, The Best People, I'm going to share them with all of you.

I'm so excited to do that.

The first person that I reached out to is the person who hosts my most favorite podcast, Smartless.

But when I asked Jason Bateman for advice about how to podcast, he said,

it's called smartless for a reason. I don't have any advice. But he did agree to talk to me,

which is very good news because he has a huge political brain and watches more MSNBC than I do

on top of being an award-winning actor and director.

So this is the best people, and this is Jason Bateman.

I've wanted to be that person just off your camera so bad on that show.

The big steady cam, tilt down.

It's all so exciting.

It's very addicted to your show. Very big fan, tilt down. It's all so exciting. I'm very addicted to your show.

Very big fan, very excited to be here.

Oh, you're so nice.

You know, I'm very addicted to smartless in this thing.
