What is the significance of President Trump's ban on CNN, MSNBC, and Politico?
attention america and everyone i told you this when i opened my show this morning that he is becoming more unhinged and something is going on donald trump the president of the united states just banned three major news organizations from the white house politico cnn ms now because he says they report fake news, because they report what's coming out of his mouth. Are you listening to me? I've been sounding the alarm for years, and especially after his DOJ had me arrested. They are trying to control the media. There is no more First Amendment or freedom of the press if we allow this to go on. Please listen. Thank you for your attention to this matter. OK, hey, everybody, look, we're here in Washington, D.C., the Congressional Black Caucus, the 55th annual Congressional Black Caucus.
Yeah. And this morning I tried to warn you guys about what's happening with Donald Trump. He is literally out of it and something is going on. We spent a lot of time talking about cognitive decline and Joe Biden. But guess what? Donald Trump is now banning three of the biggest news organizations, at least political news organizations, which is Politico, which is a print publication, online publication, also MSNOW and CNN. So far, according to my sources, they are still working. The journalists are still working over at the White House, but we'll see. We'll see if it's bluster. We'll see what it is. But I just want to show you guys around. This is a Congressional Black Caucus in the evening. getting close to 6 o'clock, and it's going to adjourn.
Look at all these faces, but this is our second year here. We got some folks lined up that we're going to. How are you? Good to see you. Hi, hi, hi. Good to see you. Thank you. And so it's good to be here among all the folks. I love your outfit. Thank you. Where'd you get that?
National Sorority 500 Kappa Incorporated. I'm representing the red and the gold.
Let me ask you something. Can I ask you about some news that's happening right now? So, well, the president just banned CNN, MSNBC or MSNOW and Politico from the White House. What did you think?
I don't think he has anything else to do but resign. And all of that banning means nothing because that's only going to make us want to do what we are going to do in November.
Thank you. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. So we're going to walk through. Let's see. I think I want to go to see our friend Angela. Hey, how are you? Hi, Baton Rouge. How you doing? It's good to see you. I'm looking for a couple of people that I'm supposed to be interviewing, including Monique Presley, who is here, who you guys know, a friend of the show. Also, we're on live. How are you? Are you enjoying the CBC?
I am. I am. Oh, my goodness. It's not lemon.
Hey, so... I'm a proud Lemonhead. Thank you very much. We're doing some breaking news. The president has banned CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House.
It's a dark day. It's another dark day for our country. It's another dark day for journalists, for the First Amendment. No president before has banned legitimate outlets from covering... the White House from covering this president, it's another dark day in Washington.
Do you think he's going to continue to do it or he's just going to back down as a bluster?
I think he's going to continue to do it. I think it's going to play out in the courts. I think he's going to continue to do it. I think it's going to play out in the courts. I think we're going to see the court side with these media outlets as they should. But we're going to see these media outlets spend a lot of money trying to defend themselves.
Are you concerned about what's going on with free speech, especially freedom of the press? You know what happened to me and Georgia Ford and others, Ms. Nathanson over at the Washington Post, having her devices confiscated. How do you feel about that?
I am, as a member of the press, as someone who doesn't take this responsibility lightly, I am really nervous as we're heading into the election that we're going to see a lot more of this as we get closer to November and even beyond.
