The Briefing with Jen Psaki · Psaki: Trump can't hide by attacking the free press · 19 Sep 2026 podcast

Now, we don't yet know how Trump's order will take effect or if he plans on officially revoking the White House press credentials of our organization and those other two. podcast-host

Time will tell. podcast-host

But we do know that the president has tried this before and failed spectacularly. podcast-host

During his first administration, Trump tried to revoke the press credentials of White House reporter Jim Acosta shortly after this particular exchange. podcast-host

I will note that that incident took place the day after Trump's party got trounced in the 2018 midterm elections, the day after everyone, a day that the president was clearly feeling a bit insecure. podcast-host

Now, at the time, I should note, just to put this all in perspective, a Reuters Ipsos poll showed his approval rating hovering around 41%. podcast-host

Now, as Trump potentially faces another historic midterm loss, the most recent poll from that same outlet puts his approval rating at just 35 percent, which may explain why he is acting like a childish toddler. podcast-host

But regardless of why he's doing it, it's important to point out that Trump's first attempt at banning a member of the press from the White House didn't work. podcast-host

CNN and Jim Acosta sued the Trump administration. podcast-host

A judge ordered that Acosta's press credentials be reinstated. podcast-host

And today, Trump was asked why he thinks this time will be different. podcast-host

Here's what he said. podcast-host

In the first administration, you tried a similar ban against CNN, and it didn't survive a court challenge. podcast-host

What makes you think that this... podcast-host

Trump says the courts shouldn't allow a free press, but it depends on the judge you get. podcast-host

Well, let's see. podcast-host

Because the last time he tried this, it was Judge Timothy Kelly who rolled against him, okay? podcast-host

Timothy Kelly, you can see him on the screen. podcast-host

And Judge Timothy Kelly was appointed by... Oh, yes. podcast-host

Donald J. Trump, everyone. podcast-host
