Working weekends, flights on Air Force One, and jockeying for position to ask press secretary Karoline Leavitt a question in the briefing room is all a part of life as a White House correspondent, according to Mary Margaret Olohan.  

As a member of the “new media” in the White House, Olohan says the interactions between the corporate media reporters and journalists like herself are "by and large been pretty polite," but notes little differences between the two groups remain. For example, new media do not have a permanent seat in the briefing room, and Olohan jokes it is a little like the “Titanic because there is the elite first class and they sit in the seats, and then in the aisles you have the second class of the citizens who don't get seats.” 

Olohan, author of “Detrans: True Stories of Escaping the Gender Ideology Cult,” spent years reporting on culture issues, including for The Daily Signal, before becoming the White House correspondent for The Daily Wire. She joins the “Problematic Women” podcast to explain the dynamic between the new and corporate media in the briefing room, and to share what will surprise most Americans about working as a White House correspondent.  

Also on today’s show, we discuss what Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s victory in New York City’s mayoral primary means for the Big Apple and the Democrat Party. Plus, we react to Brett Cooper joining Fox News as a contributor.

Reality is clashing with the narrative elite institutions have pushed on the country for years—and the American people are finally waking up and choosing sanity.

Despite what corporate media claimed about the “No Kings” protests reflecting majority sentiment last weekend, the lack of energy and cohesion was clear.

Ignore the shouting from all fronts—protesters, Democrat politicians, and the media. A majority of voters approve of the Trump administration’s deportation efforts. Fifty-six percent (56%) of respondents to a recent Napolitan News Service survey said they either strongly or somewhat approve of the deportation of illegal aliens from the United States.

While Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass warns the Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportations are a bad idea because entire sectors of the economy “could not function without immigrant labor,” more than 90% of the jobs at one facility were taken back by legal Nebraskans just days after a major ICE raid. Turns out Americans will do the work—they just have to be offered the opportunity.

On this week’s episode of Problematic Women, we’re diving into the growing clash between elite narratives and everyday reality—from college grads struggling in a broken job market, to ICE enforcement restoring American jobs, to pop culture’s identity crisis with stars like Sabrina Carpenter. It’s a full spectrum of chaos, clarity, and the quiet return of common sense.

The violent anti-immigration enforcement riots that began in Los Angeles over a week ago have led to vandalism, destruction of property, and assaults on law enforcement. But one of the results of the riots its investigators likely did not intend was the creation of common ground between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump after the public fallout between the two men. 

Tension between Musk and Trump entered public view when Musk said he did not believe the Congressional spending bill that includes much of Trump’s agents could be both “big” and “beautiful.”

Days later, on June 5, Musk fired off a series of posts on X bashing the bill, and even went so far as to share a post calling for Trump’s impeachment. Trump also took multiple shots at Musk, writing that Musk had been “wearing thin” and threatened to terminate contracts Musk’s companies have with the government. 

But on June 8, following the outbreak of the riots in L.A., Musk shared two posts from Trump condemning the riots in the California city, raising eyebrows that maybe the men were moving toward reconciliation. 

On June 11, Musk wrote on X, “I regret some of my posts about President [Donald Trump] last week. They went too far.” That same day, Trump told the New York Post that he was open to reconciling with Musk and said there were "no hard feelings."

Did the rioters in L.A. remind the two men of their shared dislike of the radical left, ultimately setting them on a trajectory toward reconciliation? Impossible to know, but the fiery protests no doubt created an opportunity for the men to remember what they share in common - a desire to restore common sense policies to cities like L.A. 

On this week’s edition of "Problematic Women," we discuss the implication of the L.A. riots and the response from the political left and right. 

Also on this week’s show, we dig into the conflict between swimmer Riley Gaines and gymnast Simone Biles. Plus, Zachary Levi wants to start a non-woke movie studio. All this and more on this week’s show.

In recent years, a trip into Target on June 1 was the only reminder needed that the month is dedicated to celebrating “gay pride,” but not so this year.  

Instead of a prominent display of chest binders and bathing suits designed for “tucking” private parts, as seen at Target in the summer of 2023, the major U.S. retailer is celebrating “Costal Classics” with red, white, and blue themed clothing this summer.  

The shift comes just months after Target announced it was ending some of its DEI initiatives and follows several years of declining revenues for the retailer.  

While Target appears to have gotten the memo that Americas want a more traditional and less woke agenda, Hollywood will always be the last to learn.  

The popular HBO show “The Last of Us,” ended its first season with 8.2 million views in February 2023, according to The Hollywood Reporter. But the show’s second season ended with half as many viewers. Why? It might have something to do with the show’s denial of reality.  

The show received criticism when one of the characters, who is a lesbian, learns that her partner is pregnant from a previous relationship and responds, “I'm going to be a dad.”  

The season finale drew 3.7 million viewers, falling from 5.3 million when the show premiered in April.  

On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women” we discuss why these incidents and others point to a shift away from the radical woke ideology toward a desire for traditional values in America.  

Also on today’s show, we respond to the news for Biden administration press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is leaving the Democrat Party. Plus, the fight to protect life is far from over, a reality made evident by Planned Parenthood’s the latest abortion numbers.

Make America Healthy Again, spearheaded by Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is bridging political divides through a shared value for healthy living and a skepticism over the number of vaccines given to children.  

Now, conservative pro-life moms and liberal mothers in Colorado who make their own GMO-free baby food have something to agree on—the health and well-being of our children should always be placed above politics. But even as Kennedy announced that the Centers for Disease Control will no longer requires the COVID-19 vaccine for healthy pregnant women and children in its immunization schedule, far-left politicians doubled down on their vaccine love.  

On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women,” we discuss the left’s latest search for meaning and leadership as Democrats double down on losing policies that are isolating voters.  

Also on today’s show, the FBI is investigating the mayor of Seattle. We explain why. And Jordan Peterson found himself in an awkward situation during a recent debate. Was he set up for failure? Plus, singer Demi Lovato got married. What does her story reveal about childhood stars?

With one broad stroke, Hillary Clinton called all conservative women handmaidens during remarks at an event in New York City earlier this month. 

"Well, first of all, don’t be a handmaiden to the patriarchy, which kind of eliminates every woman on the other side of the aisle, except for very few," Clinton said when asked what advice she would give to the first female president. 

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wy., are among the “few” Republican women who don't bow down to the patriarchy, according to Clinton. 

Clinton made the comment during a discussion at New York City's 92nd Street Y on May 1, adding that the U.S. electing a female president is “so much harder than it should be.” 

“If a woman runs who I think would be a good president, as I thought Kamala Harris would be and as I knew I would be, I will support that woman,” Clinton said. 

Clinton’s comments reveal a bizarre strategy on the political left – bash anyone who thinks differently than I do, and then play the victim and act surprised when the same people you berated don’t support you. 

Speaking as conservative women who have worked hard to earn countless opportunities from male and female bosses, who also happen to be conservative, it's both insulting and laughable to call women who believe in traditional values and protecting the unborn “handmaiden to the patriarchy.” 

On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women,” we discuss our “oppression” as conservative women and take time to celebrate the women who, unlike Clinton, are acting as a powerful voice for all women, regardless of political views. 

Also on today’s show, days away from Memorial Day, the Trump administration has announced an investigation into the disastrous fall of Afghanistan and a “Golden Dome” to protect against missile attacks. 

Plus, we breakdown some of the latest pop culture news as singer Lorde equates ditching birth control as “right wing.” And Trump says Taylor Swift is no longer hot. Is he right?

There is an opportunity for the Middle East to be defined “by commerce, not chaos,” President Donald Trump said speaking at the Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday. 

The president is using the universal language of economic prosperity as he visits Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates this week - reminding the Middle East it can “exports technology, not terrorism.” 

Trump has finalized multiple deals since the trip began, including “an agreement with Qatar to generate an economic exchange worth at least $1.2 trillion,” according to the White House. Trump also announced a $600-billion commitment from Saudi Arabia to invest in the U.S., mainly in areas of energy and technology. 

In addition to his economic strategy, Trump continues to remind the Middle East why Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, and to call for a deal between the U.S. and Iran that not only prevents the further development of Iran’s nuclear program, but also stops Iran from funding terrorism. 

Speaking in Qatar on Wednesday, Trump said Iran “must stop sponsoring terror, halt its bloody proxy wars and permanently and verifiably cease pursuit of nuclear weapons. They cannot have a nuclear weapon.”

On this week's edition of “Problematic Women,” we breakdown what you need to know about Trump’s historic visit to the Middle East, and discuss if there is any hope for change in Iran. 

Also on today’s show, the far left has a fashion issue - they don’t want to accidentally be mistaken as MAGA by what they wear. What to do? Dress messy instead, according to The New York Times.

Americans changed their news consumption habits years ago, but the White House press briefing room did not reflect these changes, that is until now.

Despite floundering ratings at CNN and MSNBC, and outlets like the Washington Post hemorrhaging money, corporate media was long given deference across Washington D.C., especially at the White House. Now, with the Trump administration’s creation of the “new media chair,” and opening the press briefing room to podcasters and social media influencers, the White House briefing room reflects where American people actually consume their news.

Pew Research reports that 54% of Americans get their news from social media at least some of the time, and 27% of Americans said the same of podcasts.

While the legacy media might view the changes in the White House press briefing room as “MAGA,” it is likely a future Democrat administration will pull from President Donald Trump’s playbook. Granted, a Democrat administration is more likely to give “Call Her Daddy” podcast host Alex Cooper access to press briefings over conservative podcaster Tim Pool, but either way, nontraditional media are likely in the briefing room to stay.

On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women,” Gabriella Hoffman, director of the Center for Energy and Conservation at the Independent Women’s Forum, joins the show to discuss the changing media landscape.

Also on today’s show, Hoffman details the dark history of Earth Day and explains how conservatives can practice conservation without falling prey to the left’s false environmentalist talking points. Plus, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 2005 “Pride and Prejudice” film.

Enjoy the show!
