You Have To Go Where The Story

Candidates [hillary Clinton And Donald Trump], We Look Forward To Hearing You Articulate Your Policies And Your Positions, As Well As Your Visions And Your Values.

I Like To Report. I Like To Go To The Newsmakers. I Like To Get Out. I've Heard About People Talking About The Anchor As The Voice Of God. That Set Is Not An Altar. It's A Great Job, I Love Doing It, But I Don't Take That Role As My Identity - The Anchorman - It Sounds Very Old-fashioned.

There Are Two Economic Realities In America In 2016. There's Been A Record Six Straight Years Of Job Growth, And New Census Numbers Show Incomes Have Increased At A Record Rate After Years Of Stagnation. However, Income Inequality Remains Significant, And Nearly Half Of Americans Are Living Paycheck To Paycheck.

I Think We're More Relevant Than Ever Because It Is Such A Noisy Environment Out There. What's A Journalist Now? It's Anybody With A Way To Get Information Out And You're Sitting There With Your Smartphone In Front Of You. That's What We're Up Against Now. There's A Lot Of Unfiltered Information. Some Of It Is Accurate, Some Of It Way Off Base. We're That Safe Port In The Storm.

I Am Honored To Have This Role [of The Moderator], But This Evening Belongs To The Candidates And, Just As Important, To The American People.
