Hello there, I'm Chuck Todd. I just got off the Meet the Press set this Sunday,

which is wrapped up in interviews with Bill Cassidy and Dr. Anthony Fauci.

I'm also sitting here with John Reese's Executive Producer of Meet the Press.

Nice to meet you, Chuck.

Thank you. You're Mr. Reese.

If you want.

Yeah, okay.

And the point of this, we want to talk a little bit about the show that just wrapped what we learned from it.

And also give you a little taste of the cutting room floor sometimes, because I know Sundays can be rough for anyways.

Look, my, you know, it's funny.

I know the official news, John, is about the booster shot.

But it's like politically, what did I take away from it?

It was the way Bill Cassidy handled the Trump issue.

Like he owes nobody, you know, he voted to convict the guy.

We know where he stands.

Oh, Trump owes him nothing. He owes Trump nothing.

But he didn't want to, for, he did not want to pour fuel on the Trumps of problem fire.

That was fascinating.

He didn't, but he also made it very clear that if, in his position is, if the Republican spend the next couple of years,

relitgating the election, i.e. supporting the president, they're going to lose.

But he would say supporting the president.

That's what was fascinating.
