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.

And, you know, we're right back where we were in that first Trump White House, Ben. You know, it is a very sad and sorry state of affairs. And I feel I feel very sorry for the fact checkers out there, because once again, they're working in overdrive.

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. As I found, you know, covering him the first time around, you know, it's a little like herding cats trying to get everybody in the press corps to act in a uniform fashion.

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. They're in about 100 countries. They're in all 50 states. I believe their journalism is read and viewed by some 4 billion people around the world.

And just about every news outlet in the United States relies on the Associated Press. So when the White House kicks the AP out of the Oval Office, off of Air Force One, It has a major impact on the information that people are receiving around this country. And I just don't think it's something that should just be tolerated at this point.
