0:00.0 | Hello there, I'm Chuck Todd. I just got off the Meet the Press set. It is still Sunday morning |
0:08.2 | in case you're wondering. We just wrapped up interviews today on set with Senator Cory Booker, |
0:13.0 | the Democrat from New Jersey, and the Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. |
0:16.6 | I'm sitting here now with one of my senior producers here at Meet the Press, Ali Sansa. |
0:21.2 | We're going to talk a little bit about the show. We just wrapped up what we learned from it |
0:25.3 | in some ways, hi, Ali. Hi. So welcome, welcome to the Toddcast. Thank you. It's actually my second time. |
0:31.5 | It's your second appearance of the Toddcast, my apology. Look, I would say this, my, you know, |

1:34.3 | like, well, we're still on two separate teams here. But honestly, I thought the most interesting |
