Like and thumbs up. So we're gonna get to we're gonna talk about this. We have a major Nolan Well. Update for you, a live press conference coming up a little bit later on the show. But we are going to begin. This morning with some breaking news. Despite a ruling from a federal judge ordering the White House to temporarily restore access to CNN, Politico, and MSNow, officials inside the administration are still refusing access to some of those outlets. Judge Timothy Kelly ordered their credentials to be immediately restored for at least the next 14 days. And I've got to tell you. I would not want to be Donald Trump waking up this morning. I would not even want to be anywhere in his orbit because you know
Don Lemon 1:43
As we say He mad. He is mad, you know, he's upset. I I don't think he could have expected any other outcome, but you never know with him. Because the p he certainly had his folks out there defending it. Everyone from JD Vance and um Mike Waltz, every they're all defending it. They defend everything he does. Because the president is having a really bad day, a pretty bad, awful day already. And it's just getting started. He wanted these journalists out of his White House. Well, I shouldn't say his White House, out of our White House. It's the people's house. A judge has now told his administration, let them back in. But He's refusing to do that. And the kicker is that isn't some liberal judge that Trump can easily dismiss.
Don Lemon 2:26
Judge Kelly was appointed to the federal bench by Donald Trump himself. He is a Trump appointee. The White House argued that this was about national security. And then we find out. Overnight, that JD Vance. Did you guys hear this story? JD Vance, according to the reports, was the anonymous source behind one of the very stories the White House used to justify banning politico. You can't make this up. The vice president was put on an official press call by the White House, that's a the according to the reports, who demanded that reporters identify him only as senior administration official and then punish Politico for following those exact instructions. So the thing is that. It it looks like i if it's it it all pans out at this is what I'm reading that it was a setup.
Don Lemon 3:15
We'll put him on. We'll give you some information. We'll say that it was uh a a senior administration official don't name and then we'll blame you for somehow releasing or reporting national security issues. So this morning, C and political and MS now journalists should be allowed back into the White House. But We're told that all of them are not being allowed back in. Well, our our Daniel Grimes. uh is allowed there and he is now on the White House lawn for us. Daniel, good morning to you. What are you seeing there? Are those reporters being allowed back through the gates this morning?
Daniel Grimes 3:51
Oh well, good morning, Dawn, and hello, Elimination. All right. So I want to walk you through uh kind of the process here. So here, I'm gonna turn my camera around. And then okay, uh we're over here. Uh I'm gonna go I'm gonna try to Turn my camera around. Take your
Don Lemon 4:06
time, you're good.
Daniel Grimes 4:08
Okay. See. All right, so what you're seeing over here, I they told me I can't go too close over there, but that you can see right there there are gates. So they were able to get through the first set of gates, then go through here, which is the security operation, but they weren't able to actually get through to the second level of security to actually get here onto the White House grounds.
