Wolf Blitzer on Covering Mideast Wars, Monica Lewinsky, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump

Bryan went to CNN headquarters in Washington, D.C., to talk to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer! Bryan has Wolf take us through his media life through the lens of five big stories. Before that, they talk about Wolf’s upbringing, playing football in the Buffalo, New York, area, and what made him decide to become a journalist. Then, the first big story they discuss is covering the Pentagon for CNN during the first Gulf War (16:17). The second is the Bill Clinton–Monica Lewinsky controversy (29:48). Third is what he remembers about covering 9/11 (37:32). And the last two are the election of Barack Obama in 2008 (45:41) and the election of Donald Trump in 2016 (52:23).
