Speaker 1: Missed opportunity. I love sharing conversations, now hosting them requires
show prep. My podcasting platforms feature thousands of guests. What
you don't have access to are my missed opportunities. The
show prep was one hundred percent completed. The conversation didn't happen.
I keep all of my notes. The reason why is
because I believe paths will one day cross again. Let
me explain missed opportunity. It's my questions and statements without
their answers. I'm leaving open enough space at the end
of each question, hoping they'll download the talk and insert
their answers. Missed opportunity is a lost piece of history,
like a message in a bottle. It's been tossed out
to see it's time to locate a destination. This week,
we're putting focus on my missed opportunity with author Michael
wolf the creator of the book Fire and Fury. Okay,
Michael Wolfe, the author of the international number one New
York Times bestseller Fire and Fury. It was set to
return with a breath taking the Insider's account of the
twenty twenty four number forty seven campaign In All or Nothing.
Michael Wolfe, the foremost professional on Number forty seven's era,
takes readers on a wild journey accompanying the leader on
his unprecedented return to power. Michael Wolfe has a huge
narrative style, mainly because of his access to national leaders
and inner circles. Michael has been accused of having a
secret connection to Number forty seven's team. It made them
feel panicky. Michael admits that after ten years of close
connections with insiders, people find it easy to let him
open them up to get the story. The invitation to
share a conversation with Michael Wolfe arrived on February twenty
at twenty twenty five. I earned a twenty minute conversation
that would take place on February twenty seventh, twenty twenty five.
It would be at ten twenty in the morning, I replied. Perfect.
On the twenty first of February, an email informed me
that they needed to move my time period to ten
forty I replied cool. February twenty fourth, another change, I
was headed to ten thirty am. I replied, I'm with
someone else at that time. Can I ask another Carolina
time later? On that day, they replied, let's move you
and Caroline to a different time, I replied, perfect, the
zoom link was sent. The conversation about forty seven was
going to happen, but it didn't. It was a missed opportunity.
Coming up next, my questions and statements for author Michael Wolfe. Hey,
welcome back to Missed Opportunity. These are the questions and
statements that were created for a conversation on a missed
Opportunity with author Michael Wolfe. The name of the book
all or Nothing. How Trump captured America? But is it
beyond us or is it the world as well? How
many Americans are still stuck in the middle and feel
best if they just don't show up get into the
inner circle of Trump? Is it like a backstage pass
for those that are willing to pay the price? Has
he returned to power or has Elon Musk made him
great again? As a journalist, how do you play the
game to keep in the super Bowl of politics? Now
you know how Trump people, aren't they embrace you in
ways that really they put you on a journalist list.
You add a little history to these pages that date
back to twenty twenty three. You take believers and non
believers inside the real world. Michael, you are not a
novice at this. You know your path and you like it.
Are you shocked that nobody can stop this guy? They're trying,
but wow, you've invested ten years of your life to
be in this moment. Do you really believe this is
the most astounding story in American history? How are your
negative talkers reacting with a story such as this? Now?
Is this a pro oh Trump book or collection of
papers for all people? Be honest with me, Michael. Is
there an invisible war taking place on American soil? How
close are we to losing our freedom of truth? Churches
are afraid to tell you, Hey, this is not the
second Coming of Christ. How do you react to that?
The campaign was fueled with rage, insults, and very very
bitter breakups. Conspiracy theories continue to haunt American people. The
presidential candidate versus the president? Are they one and the same?
You write? The establishment would destroy Trump or he would
destroy the establishment? And the final question, defying all norms
to accept the Trump genius? And there you have it,
my missed Opportunity with author Michael Wolfe. Missed Opportunity a
lost piece of history. You know the questions, let locate
the reactions. The door is always going to be open.
