estates. This episode of the Dan Levitard Show is presented by DraftKings Sports. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
There are a thousand things a day happening that feel deeply un American in this country. At one AM Eastern, a judge ordered that the Trump administration had to restore White House access to CNN, MS Now, and Politico. As of nine AM though, this CNN correspondent had not been allowed back uh to her workplace at the White House. So it appears, according to Brian Stelter, that the White House may be in defiance of a court order.
Alright, that's all fine. Let's get some important stuff. Hit it, Roy! It's time to play! Yeah, Is Journalism! That's right, Dan. I'm your host, Jonathan Zaslow. And on today's edition of Is This Journalism, let me take you back to earlier in this week, Maryland's football coach, Mike Loxley, having a rough go of it. Not a lot of winning since Loxley got to Maryland this past weekend, especially. They played Virginia Tech, which means their old rival, James. Franklin came in and took that ass. Well, here's Mike Loxley getting grilled by a reporter.
Hey Mike, um you said it after the game Saturday, you said it several times after losses over the years that you're gonna learn from it, you're gonna get things fixed, corrected, yet losses like Saturday continue to happen where you get out coached, you get outplayed, and then you come out afterward and you make those same promises. Um do you feel like you deserve more chances to keep saying you're gonna learn Well. So go back and break your question down because you seem like you went on. What it what are you asking me? Let's get to that. You after losses like Saturday, you keep saying that you're gonna learn from them. Got it. Okay, I understand now. So it goes back to what my opening statement was was that um I understand why you ask the question, why you say those things.
I understand why the fans are frustrated. Um they've earned the right for us to play better than we have. It won't get fixed here at the podium. It get fixed across the street with the work we do. We continue to do the work. We continue to improve. Uh we'll continue to get do the things we have to do to earn their trust back. I guess before this in your life is there a one guy hasn't had put your head. I'm watching believe you. Thank you, America. Um coach, uh obviously
They took the mic away from him, Dan. They wouldn't let him with the follow-up. Amino Hassan. Is this journalism? It's a witch hunt. But it's also journalism.
Guys, I couldn't hear a word. Yeah, I didn't listen. Uh we're trying to do more picture in picture stuff and unfortunate for David Samson, he wasn't in that meeting. And I got an insight into his preparation before he does a hit. And it was a lot.
We caught him blowing his nose. I don't think he knew he was on camera. What were the assortments of calisthenics that he was doing to blow?
Blowing his nose is the least of it. We
opened up with a huge yawn as the sound played, so already I'm like, Well if Samson checked it out, I should Then he blew his nose, then he had some water, then he blew his nose again, then he applied chapstick, then he blew his nose again, then chapstick, then he wiped his mouth, then he got a batting donut and started swinging in the on deck circle. It was crazy.
Uh Samson, you didn't know that you were on air, right? At various points there were all sorts of fluids coming from various orifices, and you were applying enough materials to your face to make it appear you were embalming yourself.
Listen. If you tell me to be ready at a certain time, I'm ready. But if then you go into is this journalism with something that is of little or no interest to me, I'm gonna go ahead and have to redo everything I do to prepare to be ready at the time you tell me to be ready. So you just have to give me an actual time. I know, I know. I know, I
know. We were four minutes late to get to you, and it's because Zasla wanted to do his this journalism and Roy wanted to play that music from a nineteen twenties game show before the invention of television.
