Mark, in regard to the Jimmy Carter funeral, this is going to be a little vague, but I can remember at the time, was it President Clinton, was that a very big funeral?

And he was laughing and joking, and as soon as the network cameras went on him, he got

very serious. very good point

to him yeah he was uh he was coming out with uh somebody close to him it wasn't carville but one of

those kind of guys and uh it was the funeral i think it might have been a world leader but there

was a big funeral no actually was somebody close to him and they were walking out of the funeral. I think it might have been a world leader. There was a big funeral. No, actually, was somebody close to him.

And they were walking out of the funeral. And they were laughing about something. They were joking around. This is on the street as they're walking away. They're joking and laughing. All of a sudden, Clinton out of the corner of her eyes, these TV cameras are on him. So just like that, he's crying. He switches from joking around laughing with this guy to

as if he's holding back the tears. He's so moved by this funeral. But that happens. That's part of

being a performer, a politician. It happens on TV all the time. All the time. When you're sitting there during the commercial break, you know, it's a dead serious show discussing it. You're laughing and joking. And as soon as the camera comes up, everybody's back to dead serious. And, you know, and David Muir is getting a lot of flack right now. This is the ABC News anchor, who's basically just a big mannequin. It looks good. That's why it does so well. It's a sharp-looking newscast. You know, who do you want to look at? You know, Bob Schiefer or a good-looking handsome guy? That's the world today. In the old days, you wanted a guy that looked dead serious. You wanted a guy that looked like Walter Cronkite. Now, it's a mannequin, so that's what he is. That's why you see him on his Instagram where he's in the tight t-shirt and all that stuff. So it's a wildfire. He's in the middle of a fire. So he's got to wear a fire jacket. And behind him, he used clothespins to tighten it up and make it look nice and tight they do that all the time

and fashion shoots everywhere well he's getting a lot of flack for it you know there's nothing

wrong with that that's television it happens all the time you know you think they're sitting

there at some big newscast every night worrying about the content.

They do, but most of the time they're worried about how can we fix the lighting?

Does he need more light on this side?

They'll put some light under them shooting up to take out ring.

That's television.

That's what they do.

Let's go to Pam and Patterson.
