He described his book as an insider’s commentary on the business of government, politics, and media in Washington and reacted to many video clips. He discussed the reception his book had received, saying he had been accused by some journalists of giving away “the secret handshake.” He described the revolving door between government employment and lobbying firms. He stressed his larger point that political Washington was doing better in many ways than the rest of the country, which he said was suffering. Among other topics, he discussed the funeral of long-time “Meet the Press” moderator Tim Russert, and how it was treated by some as an opportunity to participate in D.C.'s “relentless culture of networking.” He also detailed his New York Times Magazine work and aspects of his life such as how the death of his younger brother at age 23 affected him.
