HH: Joined by Michael Whatley, the new chairman of the Republican National Committee. Hi, Michael. Welcome. How are you?
MW: Thank you. It’s great to be with you, Hugh. We’re doing really well. It’s a great day to be a Republican. I’ll say that.
HH: It is, but I am worried about, let’s get my worries out of the way. You are a Golden Domer. Now I know you went to UNC and Wake Forest, but you are a Golden Domer. And I checked the schedule. Notre Dame is playing at Navy on October 26th, and then the Seminoles of Florida State are coming in to South Bend on November 9th. Will you give us your full and undivided attention during the football season?
MW: You know, it’ll be hard, but I think that we’re going to have a lot going on. We’ve got 32 weeks to stay focused, and then come, you know, the time for the national championship game, we’ll be able to return to football.
