White House Interview Special Part 2: Harrison Fields Talks SignalGate, Gaza, Car Tariffs; Alex Pfieffer Talks White House Media Strategy


Listen Later

Mo News visited the White House recently to get insight into the Trump agenda 60 days into the administration, including their messaging and approach to the media. The previous special included conversations with RFK Jr and a top White House policy official. 


This episode will include two additional conversations with two members of the White House communications team: 


First, Harrison Fields is the Special Assistant to the President and Principal Deputy Press Secretary. We talk about how he got into politics, SignalGate, and the Trump Administration’s new car tariffs. Fields also worked for the first Trump Administration, and talks about how Trump 2.0 is different from Trump 1.0. 


Second, Alex Pfeiffer is the White House Deputy Communications Director. We talk about the Trump Administration's approach to the mainstream media, whether he thinks Republican support from young men will extend past President Trump, and Pfeiffer’s own “media diet.”
