Balance what you do professionally with your real responsibilities, which are to your family, to your kids, to your friends—that's your real work. Your real work is taking care of your own.

I hate politics. I would never enter politics. I would never suggest someone go into politics. I do respect many of the people who make that decision, because I know they're doing it for the right reasons, but it's not for me. It is not for me.

I think that is a bullshit analysis.... the idea that Fox defended him and CNN attacked him. On my show, here's what I did, okay: I gave then Donald Trump and then President Trump a fair hearing, okay, and if he said things that were demonstrably false, which he did frequently, I called it out because of how it erodes trust, and it's a crisis.

I think some of the people who voted for Trump did so for bad reason; some people did it for good reason; and some people did it for no reason. They felt they had no choice. They could not vote for Hillary Clinton—she represents everything that's wrong with politics to them.

I want more parties, I want ranked-choice voting, I want term limits in Congress, and I want electors apportioned by the states that matter. Is that right or left, or is it reasonable? I want more parties. I don't care about the left and the right. I think it's killing us.

It's okay if you're not the biggest. You don't have to be the biggest; you have to resonate with people that matter. And I'm not looking to feed the fire-breathers or the fringes. There's enough of that.

I think if you want to speak truth to power, and you want to be somebody who's about something bigger and ethical and capital J journalism, then say it when it's not popular to say it and not easy to say it.

I don't think that the nursing home situation has been complete and fair in its appraisal, but that's on my brother.
