You think are you there are a lot of people who think that reporters shouldn't even go to the dinner because of everything you just delineated, which is just a small fraction of what President Trump has done in terms of his hostility towards the press.

Do you think that we shouldn't be going to the dinner?

What's your take on all that?

Yeah, well, the clip you're talking about, the problem is Scott Jennings will always try to equate my behavior with the president's behavior.

So he'll be like, he'll be like, why don't you try to set the standard and then blame it on Trump?

And I always go, dude, I'm a 23 year old dude who makes YouTube videos.

Why are you holding me and Trump to the same standard?

They do this multiple times when I'm on there.

So I always have to call it out.

And it's a perfect illustration of the double standards that you see, right?

But when I go on there,

i always have the goal of being a little bit more aggressive than i see other democrats be because for the past few years i've turned on cable news and i see older democrats in a suit and tie being very cordial and trying to play by the rules and i'm just like why can't we just punch back and be a little bit more aggressive when we're out in these spaces right so i go in there with that goal and of course there's a line i have to walk to because as a 23 year old i could seem very entitled if i'm a bit too

If I'm a bit too energetic, it'll be like, who's this entitled 23-year-old?

So I have to walk the line a bit.

But overall, when I get done, I feel pretty satisfied because I'm like, listen, I feel like I got my points across pretty well.

I got to illustrate my point pretty well.

Every once in a while, you take a hit too, and you're like, man, I wish I would have done a little bit better there.

But overall, it's a good way for us to push our message.

And you know that the clips do really well online as well.

So it's a vehicle to push forward a more progressive pro-democracy message.
