What does Trump’s ban on the “free press” from the White House actually entail?
All right, we're at the stage in this fascist takeover where Donald Trump is accelerating and accelerating and accelerating because the facts prove that he is an authoritarian moron. So what does he want to do? He wants to shoot the messenger. Trump says he's banning the free press from the White House. Play the clip.
What does that mean in practice? Are you taking away their badges? Are you banning them from the pool? Are you banning them from the Oval Office? What does that mean?
Well I still don't know what
do you envision the band sound like from media outlets?
Oh the ban on or the free press, right? Um A very simple man. I don't want 'em in my office. I don't want 'em here. I would say the band would go as far as you can. Cosh.
Well the ban is on CNN, MS now and Politico. Uh and it's over unfavorable coverage. He said the ban could be lifted if they publish friendlier stories. And that's the tale right there. This is textbook, viewpoint discrimination and violation of the First Amendment. And if you'll remember, there is another lawsuit where a Trump-appointed federal judge, and I think it was uh involving the AP, um, said that the government can't punish outlets simply for the content. Of their reporting. Silencing critical press while rewarding loyal press. Is page one out of an authoritarian playbook. And you and I have talked about that a lot. The court should and likely will strike this down. Even someone as dumb as President Trump knows he can't do this.
But like we've discussed before, he doesn't care whether he can or can't do it. He doesn't care whether it's legal or illegal. He just likes to do it and tell people to figure out. that shit out later when you have to go to court. And then what happens? They go to court, get their ass handed to him. The court reinstates it. He gets on true social, rants about how he's a victim. And we're in this circle, clusterfuck of a loop that we live in day in, day out.
And I just want to add to that that I wonder if this was worth it for CNN, for Politico, for MS Now, who um samewashed and provided cover for this regime. It really wasn't worth it. Now they're kicked out. And so I think the lesson here is, you know, you have David Ellison who's trying to buy CNN. And he claims that, oh, we're gonna be, you know, fair and balanced and all of this stuff. Is he? Condemning Donald Trump? I haven't seen anything yet. He's trying to buy CNN. And so what we see are a bunch of powerful people who are protecting their corporate interests. And I just have a question for CNN. Seriously, is it worth it having Scott Jennings come on every single day lying? Lying. You pay him to lie. You're no different than Fox.
You pay him to lie. And then look at how you're rewarded. I think it's Donald Trump's niece that said, too much is never enough. And then, of course, all dictators have all of these ridiculous vanity projects while people are really struggling financially with gas prices, grocery prices, et cetera. Trump's giving us an update on his triumphal arch.
How does the hosts explain the constitutional and legal implications of the press ban?
Pop this up. Um, I'm not gonna read what Trump wrote. I'm gonna read what Aaron Rupart wrote. Beyond parody, and then he quotes Trump at the strong requ strong request of the United States military and for national security purposes. I have agreed to convert the magnificent triumphal arch planned since the Civil War era many years ago at the receptive circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge into a top-grade military complex to house store and house. The rapid ability to use large numbers of drones plus snipers on both the roof and plaza areas. And I want to point out that um uh veterans groups are suing and they are speaking out against this. He is trying to prime the public to get used to having a militarized state.
This is an effort to have a militarized state. He knows the arch may um not get the funding for it. So now he's trying to say, oh, I'm gonna have snipers and drones. And then he wants to connect it to Arlington, which I wanna remind everybody, all of the people who say, I'm a Republican because I love America and I think Donald Trump supports the troops.
