Today I'm really happy to be joined by my friend, Christian Daytok, who is a White House

reporter at the Washington Examiner.

I'm going to preface this episode by saying that Christian Kindly was doing it in the pouring

rain.

It was sort of a remarkable feat.

He was standing outside the White House.

You don't get really good service if you're in the White House basement because he was waiting

for today's briefing, so Friday's briefing with Kareen Jean-Pierre.

It started to just pour halfway through the interview.

I don't think you can hear it, maybe you can, but if you hear the light sounds of a summer

rain, or hopefully just the light sounds of a gentle summer rain, you'll know that

it's the sound of that rain hitting his umbrella, which he sort of definitely brought and

knew just to be prepared for when he went outside to do this edition of Federalist Radio Hour.

I'm also out of the office, so not the usual sure SM7B setup, that's my favorite microphone

as.

It was a had the opportunity to talk to Christian this afternoon and wanted to take it and

bring the conversation to all of you.
