A couple days ago, White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt announced that the White House is going to be deciding who's allowed to attend such events or who's allowed to be in the press pool, meaning that new members of the media or what we call new media like myself will potentially be allowed in the Oval Office for certain events.

Obviously, Ben, we're delighted to hear that we're going to be able to access the White House in such a manner. We're going to have more access to the president. We're going to have more access to all of these events that we know our audience deeply cares about. But there's been some serious media hysteria over it.

Last night, the head of the White House Correspondents Association, Eugene Daniels, announced that he was technically going to blow up the entire system that we have for learning from other reporters what's going on in the White House. So there's a series of emails that reporters will send out.

It's called the Pooler, and they'll send out information to help us understand what's going on in the White House. Now, not everyone's on board with this. There's even some reporters who are more left leaning that have expressed their concerns about not being able to access this information that we formerly had.
