It's a lot smaller than it looks on TV in the moment, but that is the lectern from which White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt has delivered her briefings, the seats where all the folks in the press room sit.
I imagine, Ben, that you would love to be sitting in one of those seats to ask questions.
I know I'm looking forward to that opportunity soon enough, but I'll have access here to all of that, to all of what's going on, steps away from the Oval Office, steps away from the construction of the White House Ballroom, the construction on the other side,
of the White House helipad that has now started back over again because the president was unhappy with it.
And so we'll be here covering all of those stories.
You're taking a look at it now.
Like you said, Ben, there is a lot of construction, a lot of noise happening here at the White House.
We came in today hearing the sounds of jackhammers, not from the east side of the building where the ballroom is, but from the south lawn.
where the president takes off a Marine One.
Wasn't entirely clear what that was until my colleague here on the White House press beat, Dan Diamond of the Washington Post, broke the story that the president had asked the folks who were building the White House helipad to rip it all up and start over again because he wasn't happy with the way that it looked, with the way the granite was sloped on the White House lawn.
Not entirely clear how all that's being paid for, how that new work is being paid for.
They're working around the clock, so you have to imagine there's overtime
involved in all of that.
But Ben, as you can hear around me, lots going on here at the White House.
Yeah, absolutely.
For folks who don't know me that well, I have been a reporter now for the last nine years, starting in 2017 with the first Trump term.
I was just 13 years old when I started my own YouTube channel to talk about the news and politics, to talk about what was going on in our country.
Maybe not the average thing that a 13-year-old would start to do, but
We don't live in average or normal times right now.
And so I was talking about the issues that mattered most to the people in my community.
