We talked to, um, we talked to secretary of state, Marco Rubio. We talked to HHS secretary Jr. And then of course we weren't allowed to have our phones on us at all during this time in the west wing, they were in a secure box downstairs.

We were told that, you know, we needed to leave this secure briefing room because the UK prime minister was coming and they were going to take us out the back of the White House and downstairs to get our phones. We were, of course, really excited because we had just gotten a coin from the president personally. And, you know, he was showing us the portraits in the Oval Office.

I mean, it's just a real experience to to visit this this central place of power. And we were really honored to have been there, as I think anyone would be. So we go out back, excited to get our phones, because as soon as we get these phones, we're going to dive into these binders.

We know that there's nothing really in them, but we have this letter, this huge story to break that previously would have been given to the legacy media, but it was given to us about the SDNY. But as we're going out the back door, we're rushed a little bit by White House staff. And I personally found this funny because I'm a history nerd. We're told, hurry, hurry, the British are coming.

The British are coming. Because we needed to be out of the way of the hallway for the UK prime minister. Now, being the political nerds that we are, we all thought that was really funny. Once the last time someone shouted the British are coming in in the White House. But once we get outside, we see that there's a gaggle of press essentially in the bushes to the side of the White House.

Um, and they, the looks on their faces, so sour, so dour, so astonished to see us because it wasn't a, you know, publicly announced meeting per se. And, um, they were kind of like, what the heck are you guys doing here? And so we were again, giddy from having been in the Oval Office, having just come out of a meeting with RFT where he was telling us some remarkable things he's working on.

And they were curious about what we were holding. Now, this is a very important part of the story. We had not been told up to that point that there was any sort of embargo on this information. It was our impression at that moment that within about two minutes, we would be able to break the story of the SDNY stonewalling Pam Bondi.

And so when the media was so sour and bitter that we had gotten this binder that Yes, we were kind of laughing at them. We were holding up the binders in defiance saying, you know what? You've been relegated to the bushes because you lie and you smear and you gaslight the American people. And we are the media now. And that was the background of that picture.
