- Former NBC News Congressional Correspondent and son of late NBC News Senior Vice President Tim Russert, Luke Russert joins Andrea Mitchell to reflect on his time abroad following his fathers death and his new book “Look For Me There” inspired by his journey. “I was trying to find something whether it was this clarity or whether it was this aha moment of what is your purpose. What do you, Luke, removed from your hometown, independent from your parents, what do you want to do? What are you really all about?” says Russert. “A lot of that had been stunted because I missed my dad so much and I was trying to live up to what I thought his legacy was or what maybe he would want, and never actually taking the time to look inward to say, okay what do you want?”

Luke Russert on searching for an ‘aha moment’ following in his late father’s legacy
#LukeRussert #MSNBC #News
Great interview. He seems like a fine balanced young man. I miss Tim Russert. I remember so well how I felt when I heard of his death as if we had lost our guardian, the person who would stand up against all that was wrong in the world. I can only imagine what it was like for his child.
I remember that day, when I cried inconsolably.
He's not. He's a snobby brat who already tried to do tv news and failed.
@@Gabbyness41 I did too... it was a huge shock... I was Luke's age when I lost my dad... my mom just passed at the end of December... that day, on my way to the clinic where my mom was, I saw a rainbow on the water-shoot in lake Geneva... the driver of the cab I was in understood what I meant when he heard me say "thank you" to that sighting...
Loved and miss Tim Russert. Luke sure looks and sounds like his dad.
OMG😪I always pray for this young man, his father was and is a journalist treasure. So good to see that he is doing well. His father will always be miss 🙏
Luke, a dear soul, we will keep track of your life. Be sure to check in with us as you travel this life we all share. Miss your father and his honest, intelligent and trusted journalism. Big shoes to fill!
This such a great interview and perspective of losing a parent.
Beautiful.
"If it's Sunday it's meet the press". I miss Tim Russet with his bubbly grin. I remember the day he was buried, there was a little rain, then a clear blue sky and a rainbow over the Washington Monument. I was looking from the Kennedy Center. I thought, how fitting because Washington DC actually paused for a moment that day. May his soul continue to rest in enduring peace
luke's dad was a great journalist
nice to see his son following in his footsteps
I would place Tim Russert as the best moderator in _Meet the Press_ history since Martha Rountree and Lawrence Spivak began the program in 1947 (on television; it had started on radio two years earlier). I remember that Tim seldom missed a follow-up opportunity when his guests tried to dodge questions or speak outright lies. Tim didn't stoop to demeaning himself by hurling verbal abuse at an in-studio guest nor by shouting at producers to cut a remote guest's microphone. All of us who appreciated Tim's work wish only the best toward his son Luke (and his family) with whatever career opportunities that he choses to pursue.
What an amazing Correspondent to lose
WOW!!!
Luke Russert has Luke 12:48 tattooed on his arm, "Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more." Grief in a loving and appreciative son or daughter often involves looking at what a parent gave him or her to be who they are and will be. As a loving teacher, a parent prepares the child for the path the child will choose for themself, praying for a life well lived without imposing a specific career, etc.
But Luke 2:29-31 might be the tattoo his dad took to heaven: “Now, Master, you may let your servant go in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you prepared in sight of all the peoples." After all, overcoming grief might be realizing that as a loving child, a son made his father's limited time on earth extremely fulfilling and happy. This was so obvious in the Russert family. Careers only go so far in creating fulfillment in people. Tim Russert was extremely focused on balancing a grueling work schedule with being omnipresent for his family.
Luke Russert can know his dad went in peace, knowing the lessons he taught his son were well taken. Luke can best overcome grief by recognizing the joy he brought to his dad, also knowing his dad could see "mission accomplished" in his son so he could go in peace.
Tim Russert was the Last Class Act on this now channel of Liars and Deceivers!
And Chucky Todd has ruined MTP! He still cannot fill Russert's shoes!
Don't remind us that at one time there was a competent journalist that actually worked at MSNBC. It just shows how inferior the news brand is any more...
Im hosting alien invasion of earth.
CNN will be doing a Town Hall with Trump, giving him a platform.😂
Wait. I thought we were done with this kid.
Aka he’s trying to mooch off his dead father…
Nothing like mooching off your living one! 🙄
Your comment: A sad testimony to your spirt, your sense of empathy and your moral character. Good luck with that.
