My close proximity to many of the newsmakers can give me a different perspective about people in politics and what they might say than others who don't know them.

To go from politics to news, at least the subject matter is the same, even if the view is different.

There is a lot of noise and conflict in our political discourse, which is fun to cover, but I'm convinced from my travels that people also thirst for more details as well as insight and context.

I've been in politics now for long enough to not worry about what others are saying, but instead to talk about what I believe.

I have long felt that it is readers and viewers of conservative media who could benefit from a more balanced discussion of what is at stake in our policy and the actions of our government.

You can see a lot of politics on a lot of different channels. I'm not interested, really, in talking in some wonky conversation about politics, though. It's not my speed. I'm not interested in the ins and outs of health care.

Over the past few years special interests have had a larger and larger say over who gets what in America, and the voices of average citizens are being shut out.

I follow politics, but I don't like to discuss it.

As you get larger, it is harder to have focused discussions. Because one of the things I've learned about Congress over the past four years that I've been in is there's no shortage of opinions about how things should be done on any particular subject.

I listened to Bill Bennett and tons of other talk show hosts who talked about that and other policies and started branching out and caring about other issues in regards to politics.
