Dedicated is expanding.

We are now filming our segments.

We are doing some slick new video inside the Sirius XM studios.

So if you want to see me fixing the cocktails and having conversations with our awesome guests,

go to YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or the SiriusXM app, and you can see us in studio.

Music us in studio. Welcome to Dedicated. I'm your host, Doug Brunt. Today we're with Jim Rutenberg. Jim is writer at large for the New York Times and New York Times Magazine. Over the course of his career, he's covered seven presidential campaigns. He was part of a team win of the Pulitzer Prize for Public

Service in 2018. And he's done in-depth reporting on a range of topics, including the dynastic

succession of the Murdoch family, and a very thoughtful piece on the landscape, the media

landscape changing of the big three anchors, the demise of the big three anchors. In the course of his career, he's written more than 2,000 articles. Jim, it's great to have you here. Welcome. Thanks for having me. It's great. And on top of all that, Jim is actually a great guy. We've been friends for many years. Yeah, a while now. Yeah, I have lots of questions, but I'm excited to hear all the other.

There's lots of things I still don't know about you.

I'm excited to find out about it.

All right, we could get into the real thing.

Yeah, it's always very phony. No, just kidding. And we're going to, well, you know, there's no booze today. We know, right.

We'll get into it, but, you know, we're going to have mango.

Yeah, mango spritzer.

A mango spritzer.

Diet Coke back.

With a Diet Coke bag.

That's like your rocket fuel for the day.

Mm-hmm. We're going to have mango. You have mango spritzer. A mango spritzer. Diet Coke back.

With a Diet Coke back.

That's like your rocket fuel for the day.
