“ There for the president since day one, press secretary since the first day of President Trump's second term and a lot of speculation out there in terms of who Karoline Leavitt's replacement may be. Yeah, and also on social media. This is why I hate social media. All these people, these lefties and everybody, well, the reason she's leaving is the president really doesn't like her, and he left her high and dry recently on a trip, and he wants to be the star in front of the cameras, so he doesn't really need her anymore. That could not be further from the truth, correct? I mean, he loves her.”

All right, let's talk about the current president. President Trump is out there stumping for a lot of folks on the campaign trail. What's going on with his travels? Well, he's traveling today. He's heading up to New York. His original home state is going to be in Nassau County, New York, and he's going to be campaigning for the Republican nominee for governor.”
14:40· open transcript“ People know what beard means, yes. Okay. They're smarter than you, and they're obviously smarter than Howie, because if Howie were smarter, you would not be in that chair. Well, Karoline Leavitt, by the way, is returning to New Hampshire, which means she's in striking distance of doing fill-in for Howie, which means I assume this is it for me, and rightfully so. I assume so, too. So let me ask you something. Let me ask. I have some kind of summertime crud bug. My apologies to the listeners. You guys deserve better.”

We got a lot to get to today. We're going to talk. We didn't talk about it yesterday, but we will talk about Karoline Leavitt. It feels like a death in the family. It does. I'm not going to lie to you. It feels like a death in the family. And I think she's one of the best press secretaries of all time. Is she better than Sarah Mike Huckabee Bernie Sanders, though?”
2:32· open transcript“ With a big story of the day, Karoline Leavitt, the youngest press secretary in the history of the White House is stepping down. She is a mom. Once again, she's got two little kids under the age of two. She said, listen, it's hard to be a mom and to be the White House press secretary, especially when you have a president that just go, go, go, go, go, go. So, God bless her. She did a wonderful job over there. I think she's probably one of the most effective press secretaries.”
8:12· open transcript“ I think she's coming back to the White House personally. I think part of this is so Karoline Leavitt can be used on the campaign trail for these midterm elections. She's going to be a great surrogate. But at the same time, I take her word that it's a grind and she would like to spend time with her newborn baby. I get it. I would want to as well. So there's a lot of speculation about who might be the next White House press secretary. And, well, I want the people to decide.”
3:53· open transcript“ basically is somebody you've never heard of, one of the deputies who's sort of been doing the job or helping Karoline Leavitt do the job. And then once a week or maybe twice a week rotate in various special, you know, here's our press secretary for the day. They did this when Karoline Leavitt was on maternity, where once a week they had a cabinet secretary doing it. Scott Bessent was great. JD Vance was great. Marco Rubio was great. You know, have them rotate in.”
8:22· open transcript“ fraudulently for children to get sex change operations and the Trump administration putting an end to that. That's all coming up later in the program. I have a simple question for you right now, though. Who should be the next press secretary for the White House? I've waited a day or two to chime in on this, but we know that Karoline Leavitt has announced that she's going to take some time off.”
3:32· open transcript“ That could be effective too. I think that's what they should do. And I really do think that whoever it is, they should leave that space open. So after the election, after Karoline Leavitt has been out there as a surrogate, working for campaigns, doing a lot of stuff that she can't do right now because she's a government employee, then they can say, you know, well, listen, do you miss the job?”
9:10· open transcript“ By the way, juxtapose what we're seeing play out with her versus Karoline Leavitt, 29 years old, accomplished so much, just had her second baby, and she's taking a break. She's going back. She wants to raise her kids. She can always come back to her profession later. It's quite, you know, these are two paths. Red pill, blue pill, ladies. Which one do you want? Amazing.”
