Late-night bites with friends, already hard to beat. That first too hot bite of fries you couldn't wait for, followed by ice cold Pepsi. Now that hits different. Suddenly, the energy kicks back in, the night goes longer, and the laughs don't stop, because Pepsi brings out more flavor, more fun and more of the moment. Food deserves Pepsi.

**Michael Knowles** (0:56)
You know what's so funny? I was sitting there, I get a text from Drew. He's like, hey, I'll be around in about an hour, if you want to have a cigar. I was like, wait, why aren't you on Friendly Fire?

**SPEAKER_4** (1:04)
What do you mean you're around?

**Ben Shapiro** (1:05)
You're in Nashville. What do you do for a living, Andrew Clavin? Like, what the hell? What the hell?

**Michael Knowles** (1:09)
That's so funny.

**Ben Shapiro** (1:10)
Also, yeah, that's wild. Also, I thought by now you would have taken the job as the White House Press Secretary. By the way, my off-the-board pick for White House Press Secretary, because I just want ratings and amusement, was Alex Jones.
Alex Jones as White House Press Secretary would be extraordinary. Just having him due to the White House Press Corps, like what he did to SNECO, would be the single greatest thing in the history of American politics. Just crossing his eyes, screaming at the top of his lungs and ripping open his shirt, as he screams about the frogs in Islam would be like incredible. I would pay excellent money. We can solve the national debt this way.

**Michael Knowles** (1:41)
Have you been following our beloved sponsor, Kalshi? It does have some rankings here of the likelihood. And so right now, they've got Anna Kelly at 18%, Scott Jennings at 16%, Roma Duraavi at 14%, Alina Haba 12%, Stephen Chung 10%, Jason Miller 9%.
And I don't, I think it's going to be a girl. I think it's still going to be a girl. I don't, right?

**Ben Shapiro** (2:08)
I'll take the under on Jennings for sure. Like there's no way that Scott is going to do that job. Like Scott has a very nice perch over at CNN. And also again, he's like you, right? He wants to comment on the issues. He doesn't want to actually just speak for the administration.
I don't know Anna Kelly. Apparently, she's talented. So I think there's a reason why she's on that chart. I think between all of us, we actually know a bunch of people who would be great at this job. Like Mary Margaret Olihan is bringing to mind is somebody who would actually be great at this job. And I'd prefer that they not start poaching our talents at the White House. There are a bunch of people who are actually really good at this.

**Cabot Phillips** (2:38)
I think we're too quick to write off Scott Jennings. He's lost like 25 pounds, it looks like, in the last few months, which implies to me that he's getting ready.
I think we'll know that he's really throwing his name in there if he dyes his hair, bleeds blonde. And Trump has said he wants someone out of central casting. And I think if he gets that blonde hair look, he's been trimming down.

**Ben Shapiro** (2:58)
He has to plump his lips, plump his lips. So he has the very plump Caroline Levin lips that President Trump apparently so adored.

**SPEAKER_7** (3:04)
I know, I caught that clip.

**Michael Knowles** (3:06)
You know, that's the thing with Trump, though, when he said that thing, he goes, those lips, they move like a machine gun.
But, you know, he thinks of things from TV. And so he says, like, all of my guys are out of central casting. He says that about John Radcliffe, the CIA director. And so this is where I think with Caroline Levitt, I can't think of a better press secretary. I don't mean to say, like, there have been plenty of terrific press secretaries, obviously, like, going back to Tony Snow was an amazing one.

**Ben Shapiro** (3:33)
And Dana Barrino was great, yeah.

**Michael Knowles** (3:34)
Dana was great, Kayleigh, Sarah Huckabee.
They batted around Sean Spicer for a bit. I thought Sean Spicer did a good job. But they, and now obviously it's moved into the girls. But with Caroline, I just think, like, was there any error? Did she, was there any big gap? I can't think of one.
