GHOST'S PERSPECTIVE. BUT I PLAY CLINT BRIGGS. I'M SORT OF THIS YEAR'S

DIVISIVE TO DIVIDE PEOPLE AND CONTINUE TO POLARIZE PEOPLE, WHICH I
THINK IS ACTUALLY A GREAT MODERN, SORT OF PERFECTLY APT AND WELL-TIMED HORRIBLE TRAIT

>> RIGHT I'M LIKE, "LOOK GUYS HERE WE ARE IN THE WHITE HOUSE
LOOK, THERE'S A BIG BUILDING." AND IT WAS ACTUALLY THE DAY THAT THE PRESIDENT DID THE
TURKEY PARDONING, WHICH HE DOES EVERY YEAR >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> YES >> Jimmy: OH, THAT'S A GREAT DAY TO BRING THE KIDS.
>> GREAT DAY TO BRING THEM THE TURKEYS SLEEP IN A HOTEL THE NIGHT BEFORE
I DON'T KNOW IF PEOPLE KNEW THAT IT IS TRUE
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: YEAH >> AND SO, I TOOK THEM TO THE
TURKEY PARDONING THEY MET THE PRESIDENT THEY MET THE TURKEYS, WHICH WAS
A BIG DEAL I TOOK THEM -- THERE WERE HUGE TURKEYS.
IT WILL BE A BIG - >> Jimmy: YEAH >> -- FAMILY DINNER FOR THOSE
TURKEYS. I TOOK THEM TO -- WALKED AROUND THE WHITE HOUSE TO THE BRIEFING
ROOM >> Jimmy: ARE YOU ALLOWED TO GO -- YOU'RE LIKE, "HI, GUYS."
YOU KNOW ALL THE SECURITY. AND SO, YOU'RE, LIKE, KIND OF, JUST -
>> I KIND OF - RIGHT. YOU KNOW, YOU WALK -- THEY LET
YOU WALK AROUND A LITTLE BIT >> Jimmy: YEAH >> SO, THAT WAS NICE
AND THEY LOVED IT. AND I FELT GREAT ABOUT IT, BECAUSE I WANTED MY KIDS TO
EXPERIENCE WHAT I DID. AND SO, AT THE END OF THE DAY, I'M WALKING THEM OUT OF THE
WHITE HOUSE, AND I SAY TO MY 7-YEAR-OLD, "SO -- I MEAN, TODAY WAS AN AMAZING DAY
WE'LL REMEMBER IT. YOU MET THE PRESIDENT. IT WAS SO EXCITING
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE THING YOU'LL REMEMBER? >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> AND SHE WAS LIKE, "MOM, I'VE NEVER HAD SPRITE BEFORE. IT WAS SO GOOD."
[ LAUGHTER ] SO -- YEAH, TRUE >> Jimmy: YES.
[ APPLAUSE ] >> SO, THERE YOU GO. >> Jimmy: KIDS ARE -- ALWAYS
WIN. >> THEY ARE AMAZING. THEY -- THEY BRING IT DOWN TO
EARTH FOR YOU. >> Jimmy: THAT'S AN AMAZING THING, TO GET YOUR FIRST
SPRITE IT'S A BIG DEAL. >> IT IS
>> Jimmy: IT'S DELICIOUS >> AND THEN WHEN I WOULD GO BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE TO
WORK, SHE WOULD SAY, "MOM, MOM, CAN YOU BRING ME HOME SOME SPRITE?"
[ LAUGHTER ] "CAN YOU BRING ME HOME SOME SPRITE IN A CUP?
SO - >> Jimmy: I -- MY KIDS ARE TOO YOUNG FOR PHONES, BUT THEY GET
TO -- YOU KNOW, IF THEY HAVE MY PHONE OR MY WIFE'S PHONE, WE'LL BE TEXTING EACH OTHER, WHICH IS
REALLY CUTE. AND I TEXTED, LIKE, "I LOVE YOU," OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT
AND SHE WROTE, "SUN KISS." >> OH. >> Jimmy: AND I GO, "THAT'S SO
CUTE." LIKE -- LIKE, "SUN - >> IS THAT A GOOD THING?
>> Jimmy: I DON'T KNOW I GO -- THAT'S -- I GO, "GREAT I LOVE -- KISS TO YOU TOO.
>> SHE GOES, "CAN I? >> Jimmy: AND I GO, "WHAT? [ LAUGHTER ]
SHE WAS SAYING "SUNKIST" INTO THE PHONE. >> OH.
>> Jimmy: SHE WANTED A CAN OF SODA >> OH.
>> Jimmy: AND I GO -- I GO, "YEAH, OF COURSE YOU CAN HAVE A SUNKIST
WE HAVE A SUNKIST AT THE HOUSE. I GO -
>> THERE YOU GO. >> Jimmy: YEAH, SHE JUST WANTED A DRINK.
>> YES, YOU CAN HAVE A SUNKIST >> Jimmy: BIG DEAL TOMORROW NIGHT.
ELECTION NIGHT A LOT OF COVERAGE. ARE YOU PREPARED FOR IT?
ARE YOU READY FOR IT >> I THINK SO. I MEAN, I AM THE NEW KID ON THE
BLOCK HERE FOR ELECTION NIGHT. >> Jimmy: YEAH >> SO, I HAVE LOTS OF SNACKS
I THINK THAT'S, KIND OF, WHAT YOU DO - >> Jimmy: YEAH, YOU DO
>> -- WHEN YOU GO AND YOU WANT TO FIT IN AT THE LUNCH TABLE I'VE GOT ALMONDS AND CHOCOLATE
AND -- >> Jimmy: IT'S AN ALL-NIGHT THING.
>> ALL SORTS OF THINGS >> Jimmy: YOU NEED YOUR ENERGY UP
>> AND YOU WANT TO SHARE THEM WITH YOUR -- WITH YOUR NEW FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES TO --
I WANT TO SEE WHAT THEY -- WHAT THEY LIKE -- >> Jimmy: YOU'RE THE NEW KID AT
SCHOOL >> -- SO I CAN BE AT THE LUNCH --
EXACTLY, EXACTLY >> Jimmy: YEAH BUT YOU'VE BEEN GOING AROUND
THE COUNTRY AND SEEING WHAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY -- WHAT THEIR ISSUES ARE AND WHAT THEY CARE
ABOUT FOR THIS ELECTION? HAVE YOU BEEN -- WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN FINDING OUT
WHAT DO PEOPLE CARE ABOUT? >> YOU KNOW, WHAT I'VE FOUND FROM WORKING IN POLITICS FOR A
A LONG TIME, IS THAT THE WAY PEOPLE TALK ABOUT ISSUES AND THINGS IMPACTING THEM IS NOT
HOW THEY TALK ABOUT IT IN WASHINGTON, D.C., OR EVEN SOMETIMES IN NEW YORK CITY
IT'S -- PEOPLE TALK ABOUT ISSUES IN TERMS OF HOW THEY IMPACT THEM PERSONALLY
AND I -- I SPENT A DAY WALKING AROUND COMMUNITIES, DOOR KNOCKING, FOLLOWING SOME DOOR
KNOCKERS >> Jimmy: YEAH >> AND PEOPLE SAID, "LOOK, I
CARE ABOUT ABORTION RIGHTS THAT'S OF CONCERN TO ME. BUT I ALSO NEED TO PAY FOR
CHILDCARE, AND I NEED TO BE ABLE TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE. AND THAT'S OF CONCERN TO ME.
SO, IT WAS A REMINDER TO ME OF PEOPLE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES -- I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOURS, BUT
NOT ON MY STREET THEY DON'T TALK ABOUT MACROECONOMIC DATA, RIGHT?
>> Jimmy: YEAH >> THEY TALK ABOUT HOW THEY'RE LIVING THEIR LIVES, HOW THINGS
IMPACT THEIR FAMILIES AND THEIR KIDS AND I THINK THAT'S SO IMPORTANT
TO REMEMBER FOR ANYONE RUNNING FOR OFFICE >> Jimmy: YEAH
AND -- [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE IS THE -- EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN
SEEING AND READING IS -- IS PREDICTING A RED WAVE FOR TOMORROW
IS THAT TRUE >> DOESN'T THAT SOUND SO DARK? IT'S -- IT'S A LITTLE BIT --
IT'S A LITTLE BIT -- REMINDS OF ME OF "GAME OF THRONES," OR SOMETHING.
>> Jimmy: THE RED WAVE YEAH >> THE RED WAVE IS COMING.
HERE'S THE THING -- I MEAN, TOMORROW NIGHT I'M GOING TO SIT DOWN WITH THIS AMAZING GROUP OF
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN DOING ELECTION COVERAGE -- I MEAN, RACHEL MADDOW COULD MAKE PAINT
SEEM EXCITING. >> Jimmy: YEAH, SHE'S GREAT. >> AND SHE IS -- YOU KNOW,
SHE -- AND NICOLLE WALLACE, WHO I WAS WATCHING WHEN I WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE, BECAUSE SHE
WOULD TELL ME WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, EVEN THOUGH I WORKED
THERE. SO, I GET TO SIT WITH THEM WE'RE NOT GOING TO KNOW AT
6:00 P.M. WHEN WE SIT DOWN WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AT 2:00 A.M. OR WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN AT 3:00 A.M. AND 4:00 A.M WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THE STORY AND
SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING WHERE PEOPLE ARE VOTING, WHERE PEOPLE ARE TURNING OUT
THERE ARE GOING TO BE SURPRISES IN THE ELECTION. THIS IS WHAT'S SO EXCITING TO
WATCH. THE GOOD NEWS HERE, IS THAT TURNOUT IS IN RECORD NUMBERS -
>> Jimmy: TURN AROUND. >> -- ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN A LOT OF PLACES.
IN GEORGIA, IT IS AT RECORD NUMBERS ALREADY. >> Jimmy: THAT'S FANTASTIC
>> YOUNG PEOPLE ARE TURNING OUT IN RECORD NUMBERS. PEOPLE ALWAYS DOWNPLAY THE
ENGAGEMENT AND INVOLVEMENT OF PEOPLE UNDER 30. I WILL TELL YOU, THOSE ARE THE
KIND OF PEOPLE WHO ARE THE MOST PASSIONATE AND ENGAGED ON THE ISSUES THAT MATTER
>> Jimmy: I LOVE THAT. GOOD GO
VOTE >> YEAH. >> Jimmy: YEAH
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE >> SO, THOSE ARE EXCITING -- THOSE ARE EXCITING THINGS.
BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. I THINK IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY
TOMORROW NIGHT TO SEE WHERE THE STORY GOES AND SHARE WITH THE PUBLIC AND PEOPLE WHO ARE
WATCHING WHERE THERE ARE SURPRISES, WHERE THINGS ARE DISAPPOINTING, WHERE THEY'RE
EXCITING, WHERE WE WON'T KNOW, AND MAY NOT KNOW IN SOME CASES FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS
>> Jimmy: WOW. BEFORE YOU LEAVE, ANY -- AS A PERSON WHO COMMUNICATES FOR
A LIVING, ANY ADVICE ON THANKSGIVING DINNER? AND WHAT -
[ LAUGHTER ] HOW DO YOU HANDLE THE -- >> I MEAN, JIMMY -- EVERYONE
HAS, KIND OF, AN UNCLE FRANK OR AN UNCLE BOB, RIGHT? >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> I HAD AN UNCLE BOB. IT'S -- THERE'S PEOPLE HERE. UNCLE BOBS AND UNCLE FRANKS.
WE'LL GIVE A SHOUTOUT TO THEM. >> Jimmy: YEAH, THAT KNOW THEM YEAH
>> I WOULD SAY, THERE'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE POLITICS AT THE DINNER TABLE BECAUSE
GEORGIA IS PROB -- MAY GO TO A A RUNOFF WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS TOMORROW
NIGHT. AND THAT MEANS THE ELECTION IN GEORGIA, THE RUNOFF WILL BE IN
EARLY DECEMBER AND IF THAT'S THE CASE, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO -- EVERYBODY'S
GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE THESE POLITICAL CONVERSATIONS. >> Jimmy: MY GOODNESS.
>> SO, WHAT I DO -- I KNOW WHAT I DO, OR HOW I THINK ABOUT IT, IS IT'S LIKE A RESEARCH
PROJECT OR A RESEARCH, YOU KNOW, PROCESS. >> Jimmy: OKAY
>> BUT YOU DON'T ANNOUNCE IT IN ADVANCE. SO, IF YOU ARE MY -- SINCE I AM
MORE ON THE PROGRESSIVE SIDE, IF YOU WERE MY CONSERVATIVE UNCLE FRANK --
>> Jimmy: UH-HUH >> -- I WOULD SAY, "UNCLE FRANK."
>> Jimmy: "YEAH? >> "I HOPE YOU'RE ENJOYING YOUR TURKEY."
>> Jimmy: "I LOVE IT." >> "GREAT. CAN YOU PASS THE CRANBERRY
SAUCE? THANK YOU. >> Jimmy: "SURE, OF COURSE."
>> AND AS YOU'RE PASSING THAT TO ME, I WOULD SAY, "FRANK -- UNCLE FRANK, CAN YOU TELL ME
WHY YOU THINK THERE ARE CHIPS ENGRAINED IN PEOPLE MAKING THEM VOTE DEMOCRATIC?
[ LAUGHTER ] "TELL ME A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
THAT OH, THANK YOU FOR THE CRANBERRY SAUCE.
IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU. >> Jimmy: "YEAH. YOU'RE WELCOME
YEAH." >> SO, USE IT -- USE IT AS YOUR OWN RESEARCH PROCESS
LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO WOULD DISAGREE >> Jimmy: DO IT -- DO IT WHILE
THEY'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF PASSING SOME FOOD. >> DON'T ANNOUNCE IT IN
ADVANCE, BUT THAT WOULD BE MY THANKSGIVING ADVICE. >> Jimmy: THERE YOU GO
