### Hope Hicks as the White House Black Widow

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1007-tactical-frustration/chapter/hope-hicks-as-the-white-house-black-widow.md

A theory is proposed characterizing Communications Director Hope Hicks as a "Black Widow" figure within the White House, noting that men she is romantically or professionally linked to, such as Corey Lewandowski and Rob Porter, often face termination. Analysis of her body language, specifically placing a flat palm on a man's chest, is compared to similar gestures by Hillary Clinton. The discussion questions whether Hicks is intentionally "cleaning house" for the benefit of Ivanka Trump.

### NBC Olympics Promotion and Black Widow Terror Threats

- **Episode:** [585: Dhimmi or Dead](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/585-dhimmi-or-dead.md)
- **Published:** 2014-01-24
- **Time:** 1:04:00–1:09:20
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/585-dhimmi-or-dead/chapter/nbc-olympics-promotion-and-black-widow-terror-threats.md

NBC is criticized for using fear-based promotion for the Sochi Winter Olympics by highlighting threats from "Black Widow" suicide bombers from Dagestan. The hosts deconstruct a local news package that links the Sochi threat to the Golden Gate Bridge to create local relevance. They argue that the network provides pre-packaged "B-roll" and scripts to affiliates to maximize anxiety and viewership for the upcoming games.
