1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Missed opportunity. I love sharing conversations, now hosting them requires

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,599
show prep. My podcasting platforms feature thousands of guests. What

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,640
you don't have access to are my missed opportunities. The

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:16,079
show prep was one hundred percent completed. The conversation didn't happen.

5
00:00:16,719 --> 00:00:18,399
I keep all of my notes. The reason why is

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,440
because I believe paths will one day cross again. Let

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:26,199
me explain missed opportunity. It's my questions and statements without

8
00:00:26,199 --> 00:00:29,359
their answers. I'm leaving open enough space at the end

9
00:00:29,399 --> 00:00:32,560
of each question, hoping they'll download the talk and insert

10
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,359
their answers. Missed opportunity is a lost piece of history,

11
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,759
like a message in a bottle. It's been tossed out

12
00:00:38,759 --> 00:00:43,200
to see it's time to locate a destination. This week,

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,520
we're putting focus on my missed opportunity with author Michael

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,960
wolf the creator of the book Fire and Fury. Okay,

15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,439
Michael Wolfe, the author of the international number one New

16
00:00:54,479 --> 00:00:58,359
York Times bestseller Fire and Fury. It was set to

17
00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:01,679
return with a breath taking the Insider's account of the

18
00:01:01,679 --> 00:01:05,920
twenty twenty four number forty seven campaign In All or Nothing.

19
00:01:06,079 --> 00:01:10,200
Michael Wolfe, the foremost professional on Number forty seven's era,

20
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,920
takes readers on a wild journey accompanying the leader on

21
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,159
his unprecedented return to power. Michael Wolfe has a huge

22
00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:21,760
narrative style, mainly because of his access to national leaders

23
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,239
and inner circles. Michael has been accused of having a

24
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,599
secret connection to Number forty seven's team. It made them

25
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,599
feel panicky. Michael admits that after ten years of close

26
00:01:32,599 --> 00:01:36,239
connections with insiders, people find it easy to let him

27
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,640
open them up to get the story. The invitation to

28
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,599
share a conversation with Michael Wolfe arrived on February twenty

29
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,680
at twenty twenty five. I earned a twenty minute conversation

30
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,879
that would take place on February twenty seventh, twenty twenty five.

31
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,319
It would be at ten twenty in the morning, I replied. Perfect.

32
00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:55,799
On the twenty first of February, an email informed me

33
00:01:55,959 --> 00:01:58,159
that they needed to move my time period to ten

34
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,719
forty I replied cool. February twenty fourth, another change, I

35
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:05,840
was headed to ten thirty am. I replied, I'm with

36
00:02:05,879 --> 00:02:08,479
someone else at that time. Can I ask another Carolina

37
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,639
time later? On that day, they replied, let's move you

38
00:02:11,719 --> 00:02:15,400
and Caroline to a different time, I replied, perfect, the

39
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,000
zoom link was sent. The conversation about forty seven was

40
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:25,159
going to happen, but it didn't. It was a missed opportunity.

41
00:02:25,199 --> 00:02:32,759
Coming up next, my questions and statements for author Michael Wolfe. Hey,

42
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,000
welcome back to Missed Opportunity. These are the questions and

43
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,039
statements that were created for a conversation on a missed

44
00:02:39,039 --> 00:02:42,719
Opportunity with author Michael Wolfe. The name of the book

45
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:47,360
all or Nothing. How Trump captured America? But is it

46
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,560
beyond us or is it the world as well? How

47
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,560
many Americans are still stuck in the middle and feel

48
00:02:54,599 --> 00:02:58,280
best if they just don't show up get into the

49
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:01,599
inner circle of Trump? Is it like a backstage pass

50
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,680
for those that are willing to pay the price? Has

51
00:03:04,719 --> 00:03:07,879
he returned to power or has Elon Musk made him

52
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,280
great again? As a journalist, how do you play the

53
00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:14,879
game to keep in the super Bowl of politics? Now

54
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,319
you know how Trump people, aren't they embrace you in

55
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,719
ways that really they put you on a journalist list.

56
00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:25,080
You add a little history to these pages that date

57
00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:29,520
back to twenty twenty three. You take believers and non

58
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:34,000
believers inside the real world. Michael, you are not a

59
00:03:34,039 --> 00:03:37,360
novice at this. You know your path and you like it.

60
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,199
Are you shocked that nobody can stop this guy? They're trying,

61
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,240
but wow, you've invested ten years of your life to

62
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,759
be in this moment. Do you really believe this is

63
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,879
the most astounding story in American history? How are your

64
00:03:54,879 --> 00:03:59,199
negative talkers reacting with a story such as this? Now?

65
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,960
Is this a pro oh Trump book or collection of

66
00:04:02,039 --> 00:04:05,840
papers for all people? Be honest with me, Michael. Is

67
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:10,080
there an invisible war taking place on American soil? How

68
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,400
close are we to losing our freedom of truth? Churches

69
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,639
are afraid to tell you, Hey, this is not the

70
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,680
second Coming of Christ. How do you react to that?

71
00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:24,879
The campaign was fueled with rage, insults, and very very

72
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:31,600
bitter breakups. Conspiracy theories continue to haunt American people. The

73
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:35,439
presidential candidate versus the president? Are they one and the same?

74
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,959
You write? The establishment would destroy Trump or he would

75
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:47,120
destroy the establishment? And the final question, defying all norms

76
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,600
to accept the Trump genius? And there you have it,

77
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,319
my missed Opportunity with author Michael Wolfe. Missed Opportunity a

78
00:04:57,439 --> 00:05:00,439
lost piece of history. You know the questions, let locate

79
00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:03,279
the reactions. The door is always going to be open.

80
00:05:03,959 --> 00:05:06,519
