Summary

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre doesn’t often call on James Rosen to ask questions at her briefings. But when Newsmax’s chief White House correspondent gets an opportunity, he makes the most of it. “If you can do it well, you can make news,” Rosen explained to “The Daily Signal Podcast.” The veteran reporter, who got his start in local news before becoming a national correspondent, has covered his share of Washington, D.C., press conferences—from the State Department to Congress and now the White House. Just days before Thanksgiving, on Nov. 20, Rosen was pleasantly surprised that Jean-Pierre called his name. “I might regret it, but go ahead,” she told him. Rosen proceeded to ask about President Joe Biden’s “dismal job approval ratings.” Jean-Pierre’s answer surprised members of the White House press corps, Rosen said, because she admitted that “we’re not going to change the minds of Americans.” The Daily Signal Executive Editor Rob Bluey asked Rosen about that exchange and other topics on this episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast.” Hosted on Acast.
