Hello from Washington. I am not Chuck Todd. I'm Carrie Dan. I'm filling in for Chuck Todd.

And this is the Chuck podcast. It's a Wednesday in March in the year 2020, which means we just

vexalologists, a lover of state and municipal flags. He's also a political reporter for NBC News.

Thank you both so much for joining me today. And I'm so excited to have both of you because you

have both covered Bernie Sanders in thick and thin. Today certainly sounds like a bit of a thin day

for the Sanders campaign. Yamiche, I want to start with you. You covered till the bitter and

Bernie Sanders campaign in 2016. How much do you have deja vu at this moment and what feels

different than four years ago? Well, it was quite a bitter end in 2016. He really held on.

I have this anecdote that stuck in my head last night, which is that four years ago, I was the
