I'm Brian Tetta, executive producer of The View.

We've got something really special for you today.

It's Tuesday and I'm here with the Lisa Farra Griffin

and today's guest, Rachel Maddow.

This is behind the table. My mother loved you on the view, which is always a good bellwether for making

yeah and your mom is sort of right of center yeah a little bit more than a little bit

but she just said she's so smart she's so smart.

That's nice you know what, like, I very much value people who are able to see past their ideological

totally blinders.

I am too.

It's funny, when we were filling Alyssa's seat with Alyssa, I said that because our audience is very

liberal and the important thing for me was I said the high weathermark is I don't agree with her but I respect her and

interested in what she has to say and I want to

understand her different point of view and that's what we've been lucky enough again.

That is a fundamental American decency that we should all try to emulate.

I hope you are recording. Look at me producing your podcast.

Feel free. I want the music bed from the 1940s with the strings. Whatever she says.

All right, well thank you so much for joining us today, Rachel.

You had such positive words about coming on the show.

As I said, I think it's going to be in our promo going forward.

You said it's the best version of the view, and thank you so much.

I think it is.
