So how difficult is it to be on CNN
-
reporting the news when Washington is so confusing?
-
I mean, it's just--
-
what do you do?
-
It's frustrating.
-
I mean, you know, Washington is often confusing,
-
and administrations often shade the truth,
-
don't tell the truth.
-
But this is certainly, you know, there's really an assault,
-
a war on the truth going on.
-
And we're in a time now with this pandemic where the truth
-
matters more than ever.
-
I mean, it's literally life or death
-
whether you get correct information about how
-
to stay safe, whether you get misinformation
-
about what can help you and what can't hurt you.
-
I've never been more proud to be a reporter at a time like this.
-
It's difficult. It's incredibly challenging.
-
You have administration which is--
-
you know, and I'm not saying this from a political vantage
-
point--
-
but they certainly give out tremendous misinformation
-
and misdirection and shade the truth and lie about things.
-
And that's a real difficulty as a reporter.
-
Yeah, and that's exactly what the problem is.
-
And when you have reporters asking questions and being
-
basically attacked for asking a normal question,
-
a legitimate question, and yet it's hard.
-
Because when a reporter asks the question,
-
I'm anxious for that answer.
-
And I never really get that answer.
-
And there's all this misdirection now of testing,
-
like saying, we don't really all need testing.
-
It's like, no, we do need testing.
-
And I mean, more than ever, we need
-
testing because now everybody is wanting to open up again.
-
And I watched your interview with the mayor of Las Vegas.
-
I was watching when it happened, and I just
-
thought you were fantastic.
-
And that went viral.
-
I mean, that was that was a very popular interview.
-
Yeah, I mean, I was--
-
Look, you were just--
-
I was surprised.
-
I mean obviously, for mayor who's
-
calling for the reopening of casinos and convention centers
-
and getting tourists in, she was remarkably ill informed,
-
and seemed to be proud of that, and not believing
-
that part of her role as mayor, if she's calling for that,
-
would be to at least have some ideas about how that can be
-
done safely, or what she could do to improve testing, or get
-
greater access to testing.
-
She didn't seem to think that was any of her responsibility,
-
though she was calling for very low-paid people
-
to go and work in dangerous settings,
-
that she herself wasn't even willing to go and sit
-
on a nightly basis.
-
Right.
-
Yeah, that was frustrating.
-
Well, [INAUDIBLE] because she doesn't gamble anymore.
-
She's too busy.
-
That's why she's not going, she said.
-
Hey, let's talk about you being on Who
-
Wants to Be a Millionaire?
-
Jimmy said that you--
-
Jimmy Kimmel's version, I really like it a lot.
-
I'm enjoying it.
-
He said you were not so good at pop culture, which--
-
I know
-
--didn't surprise me, really.
-
Yes.
-
I've gotten worse on pop culture.
-
You know, I was an early Housewives fan.
-
I think you and I discussed this when
-
I was on the show one time.
-
And I think I can take a little credit I think for introducing
-
you to kind of the Housewives.
-
I don't know that you were watching at the time.
-
I don't know if you watch now.
-
But anyway, Yes, I--
-
Do you want to use that phrase, "take credit,"
-
like it's a proud thing?
-
Is that--
-
(LAUGHING) You're right.
-
That's probably not the best phrase.
-
But yes, you did introduce me to it.
-
So go ahead.
-
I was a gateway to it.
-
But, yeah, I have fallen off the wagon.
-
So yes, there were a couple of questions.
-
Thankfully, Andy was my backup person,
-
because I knew he would know pop culture.
-
And I knew I wouldn't.
-
So he saved me.
-
I mean, I don't think I can say how far I got.
-
But I wouldn't have gotten to wherever
-
I got because I would not have made it past,
-
like, the dummy questions.
-
Because one of the earliest questions
-
was a basic pop culture question and I totally had no idea.
-
Yeah, well they're all over the place, the questions.
-
That's what I like about it, because some are pop culture.
-
So you kind of have to know a little bit about everything.
-
Anderson, I love talking to you.
-
I have missed talking to you.
-
I'm happy for you.
-
Thank you.
-
You look like you're just beaming,
-
and that's what you deserve.
-
So you can catch Anderson every night on AC 360 at 8:00 on CNN.
-
Anderson Cooper.
-
Thank you, Ellen.
-
Bye.
