Katie Couric: My Goal Wasn't To Make Sarah Palin Struggle | Morning Joe | MSNBC
The clip of trump saying he loves to read...HILARIOUS !
He loves to read books on bone spurs.
At least he stays awake and doesn't need a nap every day!
Well, he had to get to all 57 states and talk about truth over facts (Biden).
@@thelittles5182 he naps all the time
Wow I didn’t know you lived full time with t-rump and knew his sleeping habits? Totally uneducated person! 😂
As Steve Schmidt offers Palin-like vagueness about John Edwards' weaknesses relative to Palin, Katie Couric's disbelieving smile-and-nod at 8:47 is terrific, but Schmidt's weary gaze at Couric speaks volume as he anxiously wonders if she will ask, not to belabor the point, for one specific point. Kouric's final polite smile back at Schmidt (8:51) is priceless: as if saying, "That's the best you can do?". At least he admitted, in so many words, "Mistakes were made".
Absolutely, word salad nothingness
@@PassiveAgressive319 Agreed. Couric, as a journalist, is able to ask concise, relevant questions that get someone to provide a specific answer. Oh, Edwards is as bad as Palin? On the issues? If not, then what? Word salad ensues.
To this day, I blame Palin as a VP pick with the anti-media/liberal media mantra and accepting ignorant candidates in American politics. It wasn't that Palin had a disastrous interview with Couric, it was her supporters damage control of it. Instead of calling out for what it was, they blamed it on "gotcha" questions and that Couric was the problem. Now every time there's news that shines a GOP member in a bad light, they blame the liberal media.
I mean Republicans were attacking the media for decades so the defense of Palin wasn't something new.
Let me tell you why this is all BS what she’s saying. They don’t go after the current president Joe Biden, or Kamala Harris the current vice president with anywhere near the ferociousness in their questioning. We know that Biden and Harris are both lunatics but this type of media they ignore completely because that’s who they want to be an office. It works better for them.
Who did what in court I like to see your picture
IT Was ALL KATIE COURIC FAULT
I think it started with Bush
Yes, Katie was spot on when she said that McCain just figured any woman would do to combat Hilary Clinton.
Really? Hillary wasn't on the ticket in 2008.
@@anonnon4737 She was running against Obama at the time McCain picked his VP. Am I wrong? So he didn't know if she'd win. This is why his people told him to pick a female VP. Sadly, he picked someone he hardly knew.
@@OntarioAndrews415 Obama won enough primaries and secured enough superdelegates by June 3rd, to win the nomination, four days later Hillary conceded that she lost. On August 23, Obama announced Joe Biden as his running mate. John McCain announced that Sarah Palin would be his running mate on August 29th. So Katie Couric's comment that McCain figured any woman would do to combat Hillary is disingenuous as Hillary was never on the ticket, and Obama had already announced Biden as his VP. Also anyone in the know knew Obama would never picked Clinton, as there was so much bad blood between them. Clinton's team started the birther business with Obama. You'll find fake fact checking stating this is false, but I will give you the names. Clinton staffer Sidney Blumenthal went to the offices of a media outlet called McClatchy in DC and met with McClatchy's editor James Asher and encouraged McClatchy to pursue stories on Obama's connection to Kenya. Other McClatchy staff such as Shashank Bengali were aware of what the Clinton campaign was asking them to do.
McCain picked Palin because he wasn't polling well with young people and women, and he hoped Palin would help him with both. Similarly Obama was polling poorly in the southern states, especially with whites and he hoped that Biden would help him.
@@anonnon4737 Okay, but Clinton did a good job and McCain recognized that so he figured (I think mostly his advisors) that going with a woman VP was the way to go, which is fine in itself. However, he picked a nut case who he said he only met a hand full of times.
@@OntarioAndrews415 Clinton did a good job? As Senator she convinced Democrats to go to war in Iraq, which was the wrong call and an utter disaster. As First Lady, Bill put her in charge of creating and drumming up support for a universal healthcare plan and even Democrats said she rubbed people the wrong way and was difficult to work with and as you know Congress rejected the plan. Even the American public preferred Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton.
McCain picked Sarah Palin because he needed youth on the ticket and someone who could pick up the youth vote and the women vote. Palin was out of her depth, inexperienced, and not smart enough for the role, but she wasn't a nutcase. Marjorie Taylor Greene is a nutcase. Lauren Boebert is a nutcase.
Palin was definitely out of her league - imagine her running this country 🧐
And now we have Biden
SHE RAN ALASKA
@@saramcdonalds427for two years and wimped out. It was good for Alaska she ststepped down as governor.
you can just look at palin and see that no one's home.
She's in Russia trying to see her own home from there.
FU
Katie Couric established the fact that Palin doesn't read and never will. Palin is content being an ignorant person that can only recite canned talking points.
Palin uses same library as Trump lol.... the one with no books .
Palin is not stupid, she is evil. If She and McCain were elected, We'd be worse off than we are now. Trump is genuinely stupid, had he a fraction of Palin's education or intellegence, the world would be on fire.
It's not hard to see why Couric is such a highly respected journalist.
She sucks.
"I wonder what the McCain campaign was thinking?" While the McCain campaign manager sits across the table.
Palin had an insane amount of Charisma. She hit it out of the park when she was introduced at the RNC.
**stategist. Most manager
Reporter: What do you read?”
Palin and Trump: “Unfair gotcha question...fake news.”
Reporter: “So you don’t read like 70% of Americans. Ok, thanks...”
Lol 70? You're an optimist!
The reason she struggled is that Steve Schmidt and John McCain tried to make her be something she wasn't.
The reason she struggled was because she wasn’t properly vetted and should’ve never been selected. I hate this thought that she was being made to be something she wasn’t, strong leaders have the wherewithal to advocate for themselves and those they represent, she clearly was only strong with her conviction.
An intelligent person.
At the time I had a lot of animosity towards Sarah Palin, but now with some distance I mostly blame all of that fiasco on the McCain campaign. Not on McCain himself per se, but on the whole team's chosing of her to begin with. The film Game Changer shows that she was justnot capable to be on the n ational stage and her irresponsible rhetoric opened the door to a form of ugliness in our american politics that were still paying for now.
Katie Couric is one of my favorite journalists. She is balanced, fair and smart.
She sucks and I"m sure her podcast will flop.
'I can see Russia from my house' ... was all she could say about her knowledge of the world !
Lololol!!
What a pity that she wasn't actually born and living in Russia
Trump so busy working on his golf and his tv watching, no time for learning.
Scott
No, it’s worse: He has no intellectual curiosity.
He is lazy!
FU
@@janicesaccomanno5971 Fake University........thanks for reminding us of the reality Appresident
Steve Schmidt ‘the vetting process was flawed’
STEVE you were the vetting process!😡😡😡😡
I thought i was seeing Tina Fey
alvin081988
I can’t distinguish them. Sarah Palin is a parody of herself.
Honest Question : Do you believe Kamala was grilled as hard as Palin on her comprehension of foreign policy ?
Feels a little bit like she got a free pass...
Kamala was given a free pass
Get ready to find out ...
Dems get a free pass on everything. Hope Durim sends these corrupt losers to jail.
No. No one was. Everyone has weaknesses and Katie, et all wanted her to make her out like bumpkin. Sarah has strengths, but never given a chance to explore those. Katie is a jerk.
Kamala did get a free pass until Tulsi had something to say about it.

Katie couric did a great job in this interview.
Well to be fair breathing seems to take most of Palins brain power, I have never seen her look good in a interview
FU
...not even two years ago, I was talking with a close friend about Palin. This person digests a steady diet of talk radio and maintains, (based upon what his steady diet of talk radio has told him), that not only is Sarah Palin incredibly intelligent, politically savvy, and "up" on the issues....but Michele Bachmann is as well.
Right wing talk radio has infected millions of people.
Don't apologize, with Lauren Boebert amd Marjorie is enough.
Did she just flawlessly reference Meghan Trainor’s all about that bass in her point?
Serennekin literally I’m stunned no one chuckled or laughed that was flawless and completely hilarious 😂
And now the VP is crazy too.
The Republican game plan for 2024 is to have a Trump and Palin duo running for President and vice-president
What? Crazy? Palin was stupid and ignorant. Kamala Harris is knowledgeable, competent, well-educated and a proven force. Palin showed how being popular is meaningless.
@@granthurlburt4062 that comment was 5 years old, friend. They were talking about Mike Pence.
unfortunately each time I see Palin I think of Tina Fey. When I hear Trump talking I visualise Sarah cooper lip synching. Ms. Fey and Ms. Cooper evidently more memorable.
FU
Watching this now... How did a man who didn't answer any questions become President?
Hope the stupid liberals are happy with Sleepy Stupud Joe.
Can't believe i missed this episode. Great stuff. Except when Katie interrupts everyone every time, and but still...great stuff.
Katie Couric should run. She seems really stable and smart.
That’s why Katie Couric would never run for president or any office.
She sucks.
Well witch one over them got some over here
If you felt at the time that you didn't understand Sarah Palin's intelligence or her intellectual capacity, you were not alone. Neither did she.
We are none the wiser of what Trump or Palin reads.
What do Obama or Biden read
It's still striking to me today how much Tina Fey looked like Sarah back in the day.
Imagine if Katy were to interview Biden and AOC
Get it over dude.
Why is that because you can't hang a really man I have a lot over stuff on you
Katie did interview Joe when he ran for VP. You can find it on youtube.
The knowledge on the panel came from Steve Schmidt. He was worth listening to.
The media didn't give Kamala Harris a proper grilling.
Amy Pohler's facial expressions as Katie Couric during the SNL skit was comedy gold. Lol🤣🤣
When the brilliant trap that is Katie Couric's mind brings you down... only then can you truly be considered one of the greats.
Sarah Palin was completely unprepared for a national campaign
FU
@@janicesaccomanno5971 no thank you!!
@@janicesaccomanno5971 Fake University....the Trump gold standard.
Thanks for the reminder.
She was publicly undressed and humiliated
I love to read, I’m looking at a book……
I read half a page.
😂
6:57 she really says "as meghan trainor says its all about the bass" lol
Donald Trump was reading comic books having a hard time understanding them
Gilligan never got off the island...sad!
Actually need to blame her team for not doing a better job of prepping her ..
You can't honestly believe that any amount of prepping would have a difference. She is exactly as moronic as she appears, nothing could ever change that.
They didn't realize she was incapable of abstract reasoning
If you love to read then you will make the time to read
Right on!!!
Katie,your hair looks great 👍
Meanwhile Obama’s Vice President was completely sane and competent and “fit” for the job. Remember when he said Mitt Romney just wanted all the blacks back in chains? Or the other day when he said something about pouring tomato soup out of can? Right, completely competent but you didn’t drill him like that.
At least Trump was honest he doesn't read. Sarah Palin tried to lie but Katie Couric didnt'have it.
Steve Schmidt still trying to save himself from his past in 2023.
They thought the voters would vote for a hottie.
6:18 love it
I'm looking at a book!!!!!! Hahhhaaaaaaaaooooaahhaaaaaa!
Uh Don for those of us in your age bracket that DO read regularly I can give you several places to give reading a shot. The restroom and travel. So since you NEVER have to drive or pilot yourself that should give you plenty of opportunity to read. Not that you will of course or former Governor Palin.
Yes I can why don't you send me a picture over you must be like the rest over them you can't hang with a really man
Great, now I’ve got Meghan Trainor stuck in my head...thanks, Katie!
Those of you that haven't seen the movie, Game Change, is just a treat of a movie. Who really believed that ANY governor would be this ignorant? It was really that reason that she was picked, odds were she would be at least adequate.
You're deranged. Sarah had an extremely high approval rating when Governor of Alaska. She is intelligent and fights the good ole boy system of corruption. She was extremely popular with mainstream America with the gift if connectivity.
They should have had Bill Kristil on this. He led a group to Alaska to get Palin to go national.
Bill Kristol is an epic moron. He is intelligent but astonishingly ignorant. Kind of like the bulk of the GOP...
Just curious, how did Palin's reading list compare with Obama's at the time?
I just love Schmidt!!!
The GOP mafia has to go in November. Vote BLUE!
To this day, the Palin interviews were the biggest public humiliations I've ever seen. I'm sure she was able to milk it for lots of money, but even a simpleton like Sarah must feel tremendous embarrassment wherever she goes. It was like a poorly prepared 5th grader. UGH!!!
What she was saying is true. And has been true all along.
I heard she's secretly watching Putin for a GOTCHA question!
“It’s all about the base.”

Give me that ticket then over any ticket w JDVance today (2024)
Let’s not forget that Steve pushed McCain to hire SP soley because they needed a woman to offset Obama.
And Right Wingers thought that she was Presidential material...lololol
They also thought Drumpf was presidential material! Dumb as rocks!
And now you think Biden is presidential material. LOL! I guess you don't read much either!
FU
Oh come on guys!!! Asking what a person READS? You monsters!
Asking a person what they read is bad? Stop it
Bobby Porter yes that was sarcasm
+Tee Dee sorry thought u were republican, they dont know sarcasm 😂😂
Bobby Porter No problem. Not a Republican. Thank you for your response
Palin was scarily unqualified.
I think Katie exposed Palin for what she really was. Big mouth not to bright.
The Don read..# hilarious Similar to Palin.
FU
Donald Trump is Sarah Palin 2.0
I vote Republican and was actually one of the people who was infamously unfairly interviewed by Couric for the "Under the Gun" documentary, BUT I agree with Couric and MSNBC on this! Palin was clearly out of her league here and not a reasonable choice of running mate.
Great Observation
Your past should not prevent you from improving yourself.
The question now is, has Sarah Palin been reading since then? The national embarrassment that she had created should have inspired and propelled her to improve herself drastically, if only for her sake.
No...she somehow spawned an evil look alike named Lauren Boebart ..
FU
The palin interviews. Lmao
Was Sarah Palin out of her depth, yes. Did Couric enjoy exploiting this also yes. Neither of these ladies impressed me.
Relax… no one is impressed with you. The general consensus is that it was a great interview
When Pres Biden did the debate it meant it was over for him. how interviews and debates can change campaigns.
I guess Katie didn't supply her in advance with the questions she gives to the left .
Omg Trump stumped. Then stumbling and faking it.
“It’s all about the base”-Looks like Katie’s been watching a lot of Ari Melber... ;-)
Graham Strouse Or listening to Meghan Traynor
Maybe Katie Couric should interview that cackling woman
Amy Poehler had it right. She really DOES blink that much.
If she revitalized the base it tells you the dire straights their base had reached!
Palin's idea of what the VP did was really laughable. She thought the VP was like
the Speaker of the House in the Senate! Who needs a President of the VP could do all that!
During the campaign I was hoping that the Terminator would appear from the future and do his 'thing' to Palin.
She made the road for dum dum Trump so much easier.....she softened up the Republican voter who had a brain.
FU. Happy with Stupid Sleep Joe?
They actually took Palin shopping and got her clothes, shoes, a haircut and makeup to make her more presentable to the public after she was picked. All that “lipstick on a pig” as she loved to say, and she was still a train wreck. Too bad they forgot to ask her if she reads a newspaper! Unbelievable!!
They would have done better to get Sarah to read more or pick a candidate that was more involved at that level. She was not on their level but Katie could have expounded on the Bush Doctrine and then let the woman give her thoughts. McCain didn’t want a strong VP to be seen as a threat.
LMAO.........I wish we could have a game show on who has read less in their life, Palin or Trump. Neither one of them has read in the last 30 years what any intelligent American has read in the last week.
FU
Sarah and Donald....both geniuses!!! (comic geniuses)
FU
That was a basic question….she wasn’t ready to be Vice President and showed McCain made a poor choice.
FU
I felt bad for palin too. In her speeches, she was great. I think she truly does care for her country and people in it. However, she didn’t have a good understanding of national politics and couldn’t think through problems in interviews. She was like a deer in the headlights.
Rumpee should've picked Sarah for VP. she reads!
She reads all of them.
Trump.."I'm trying to read" LMAO
Gilligan never got off the island...sad!
She doesn't help herself.
One wonders how many decades TFG was spending on All Quiet on the Western Front.
Palin was just a bit of window dressing totty to improve the voting
cosgrove notts And it worked!
Well, speaking of unfit, some of the senators that questioned Judge Jackson seem to me to be completely unfit to be in Congress, one wonders how people whose aims are to degrade, whose racist attitudes and ignorance about the law seem boundless, were able to get elected. Citizens need courses in civics, starting early in school, in my opinion, Junior high and onwards.
It always occurs to me that what if Katie Couric would have been the vice presidential candidate ? Would John Mccain have won then ?
Republicans prefer leaders that are too stupid to be in charge of anything. Democrats prefer leaders that are too smart to be in charge of anything.
Goodness how embarrassing.
She has aged so well
I would love if trump can take a 6th grade English test on national tv. The camera will be on the test as he takes it. I always wonder, what was the last grade he honestly graduated from without his parents financial help?
You don’t read , Trump !
