THE SHANNON AND SHANNON PODCAST OCTOBER 13, 2026

Lots of stuff to get into.

Let's start with some of the breaking news.

Katie Zachariah gave her first press briefing today.

And of course, Caitlin Collins, she was critical of that, wasn't she? That doesn't surprise anybody, I would imagine.

And then CNN is at it again.

Now they're running average gas prices with their ticker.

First, it was COVID death in 2020 to try to influence the election.

Now they're running gas prices, Shannon.

Yeah, they're literally having gas prices on their ticker.

Yeah, and it says CNN Business.

Oh, you guys are great.

Yeah.

It's kind of deceiving, too, because it's not like the gas price is here or anywhere.

It's just kind of like an average of gas prices everywhere.

Oh,

yeah.

And then they put it down, you know, before the conflict in Iran.

Yeah.

So, yeah, they're at their old tricks, but they got new owners, so we'll see how long that lasts.

Here is Caitlin Collins whining about the presser.

um wolf it was kind of bizarre because it was a press briefing but there was only two questions that were taken by the new press secretary she came out she read very lengthy remarks which is not unusual that's typically what caroline levitt would do as well she would take a come out and talk about what the administration wanted to tout that day any announcements anything that was going on um and then she turned to questions actually let me adjust my account she took three questions they took one from the new media seat and then they took two others from reporters in the room.

And then she pointed to the fact that the president is leaving the White House in 45 minutes and that he would answer questions there.

And so I'm not really sure, Wolf, that I've ever been to a press briefing where there were only three questions in the briefing.

It was quite unusual, especially for the first press briefing, which, you know, was widely touted by the White House and announced by the president.

They did make some news during that where Katie Zachariah announced that the president has asked the ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, to resign from her job following that damning Wall Street Journal report with those allegations that she was basically trying to get Trump donors to resign.
