But before he does, we\u2019ve got some pretty wild political news happening in America. And we wanna give you an early holiday gift of great content. And a very high-profile guest. Unless you haven\u2019t already read the title, you know who it is. He\u2019s the host of <em>Meet The Press<\/em>, one of the most influential and iconic political shows in America. He\u2019s the host of <em>Meet The Press Dail<\/em>y on MSNBC, and he\u2019s the Political Director at NBC. On this show in the last year, we\u2019ve had Chuck Hagel. And we\u2019ve had Chuck D. And now, finally, we\u2019ve got Chuck Todd (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chucktodd\">@ChuckTodd<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>As the January 6th investigations continue, as the cable news networks play musical chairs with their prime-time line-ups, as tensions rise with Russia over Ukraine, and as the omicron variant rips around the world faster than Santa delivering presents, our fearless host, Paul Rieckhoff (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/paulrieckhoff\">@PaulRieckhoff<\/a>), tackles it all head-on. From troops refusing the vaccine, to Don Jr\u2019s texts, to accountability for the January 6th attack on the US Capitol. It\u2019s a Christmastime feast of crazy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And for all you good little boys and girls, we\u2019ve got a deep and fast dive into politics\u2013and also into American political media (which is the demented holiday gift that just keeps on giving). This show is all about the future\u2013and staying vigilant. No matter what Santa brings this Christmas. Whether it\u2019s a Barbie Dream House\u2013or a positive COVID test.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This episode is about providing light to contrast the heat. It\u2019s about keeping the hope. Especially when it\u2019s hard to do. And it&#8217;s a holiday time special delivery pod of the 5 Is: independence, integrity, information, inspiration and impact. All gift-wrapped nice and shiny and sitting in your phone of Christmas podcast treats. It\u2019s another insightful episode to help you stay vigilant.
