Have you tried presidenting better? Have you tried you could You couldn't Pardon. You could ban the press or you could be a better President. I mean give give the press something to work with. Oh, here's a positive story. I never thought my car could take $140 worth of gas in such a small tank. I had no idea. Hurrah! And not for nothing. Have we ever had a president? Just flat out in the Oval Office come out against the Constitution. What kind of a sick country doesn't allow unlimited warrantless search and seizure? I mean, that's not the North Korea I grew up in. Look! I'm sure it was just a a poor choice of words from the president. He didn't mean to say that uh how can a country have a free press? I'm sure there's a very thorough
And thought out legal framework and rationale for why this is not a free press ban.

Well, I hope you realize what you've done, Mr. President. Because as a result of this ban. Not only have you betrayed your sacred oath of office. You've now subjected all of us. To Endless Reporter. Building entrance logistics stories, you bastard.
I attempted to scan my badge, which we have to do, uh, and able to get into the White House grounds. It did not work. I asked if I could have the badge back. He said he would be keeping it. He did, however, hand me back this clear case with a lanyard. Normally when we talk, I am there on the White House grounds. I wish we had a better camera position to at least offer you so this is not just about the smell of the grass on the White House lawn.
Нафунтик, вирад Комеді Централь, аусов in this ban. Even though we have been more than fair. to this president. Almost too fair. So for more on the ban, we go live to the sidewalk outside of the White House with our senior White House correspondent, Desi Leitek. Desi, what's what Does he? There you go. Wait. Desi, I thought you were gonna be outside. That that looks like the Oval Office. Desi, are you where are you? I'm here, John. Desi, are you- are you in the Oval Office? Where how did you get in?
