Jim Acosta

Bad reference.

Very badly dated reference.

That's okay.

No, but I mean, no, my press pass thing is, I mean, no, I didn't get locked up.

um i thought my career was going to come to an end uh but you know this is far more serious than what you're going through right now and i you know i've been describing this as the jailing journalist uh phase of donald trump's authoritarian project and he's playing for keeps and i think this is not just a message directed at you it's directed at everybody in this country

yeah well and i hate that i honestly hate that crap because you know there's a lot of professional envy and jealousy in our business and it brings out the worst in people but as i've been saying and i've done a couple of hits on ms about this like you know we we just have to support you in all this and i you know i consider you a friend um and a colleague and of course a fellow fellow journalist

And what are we going to do?

I mean, we're not going to support one another right now.

Like, give me a break.

This is the you know, what's next?

Closing down news organizations like we just can't have that that kind of thing in this country.

But the other question, I mean, but really done like, how are you doing?

How are you feeling?

Is this overwhelming?

Are you able to deal with this?

Like, what's it what's it been like?

Yeah, but Don, I mean, to the point that you made earlier, and I don't understand why people don't get this.

You say in the video, I've been pointing this out repeatedly.

You say in the video, I'm here as a journalist.

I'm here covering this.
