You know, I mean, she it's hard to see somebody out Spicer, Sean Spicer or out Huckabee, Sarah Huckabee Sanders. But Caroline Leavitt, she is she's making a run for it. You know, she just might get on Trump's all star team of liars. She might be on the bench right now, but if she keeps working hard, she does her homework. She just might make it onto the team, you know.

It's a sad and sorry state of affairs, but what we're seeing right now from this White House is exactly what we saw during the first Trump administration. They performed for the audience of one, Ben. Sean Spicer did this. And as I used to say about Sean Spicer, the problem for Sean Spicer was not that Melissa McCarthy became Sean Spicer.

It was that Sean Spicer became Melissa McCarthy in that caricature that we used to all laugh about on Saturday Night Live. And Caroline Leavitt, unless they've already done it on SNL, I would have to think that something like that is in the works because the skit writes itself. They're such bad liars.

I mean, it's sort of like anybody has kids out there when your kid is telling you a tall tale and you're just looking at them like, okay, Johnny, sure. Yeah, I believe you. And you just walk away saying, What the hell? That kid's not telling me the truth. That's what's going on over at the White House right now. But make no mistake, they are performing for an audience of one.

And so if she gets out in front of the cameras and starts telling the truth, Donald Trump, who is addicted to being on TV, hearing about himself on TV, reading about himself online, He's probably watching these briefings and thinking to himself, well, wait a minute. They can't go out there and tell the truth. They have to tell it the way I tell it, which is, you know, all lies.

Yeah, I mean, I think we've reached a point now where, you know, I think the press needs to do a bit more. And that's a tough nut to crack.

But when you have the White House banning the AP from the Oval Office, banning the AP from Air Force One, and just to explain this to people, I mean, the Associated Press, the AP, is an institution that's been around for over 100 years.
