00:00¡Gracias!

00:30Indulge me, because I have a lot of thank yous.

00:48Thank you, first, to my mom, to my dad, to my stepmom and dad,

00:54to my siblings, Austin, Jesse, and Allison, to my nephew, Theo,

00:59thank you to Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen,

01:04two of the all-time greats of Washington journalism,

01:08for building Axios, for hiring me,

01:15for having my back the entire way,

01:19and for encouraging me to keep digging.

01:21Thank you to Cox for investing and believing in the importance of trustworthy journalism.

01:27Thank you to Asia Whitaker-Moore, Kate Marino, and David Lindsey,

01:32for your leadership of our newsroom.

01:34That's right.

01:36Thank you to my reporting partners in the Biden beat,

01:41the great Hans Nichols, and yes, thank you.

01:46And the reigning champion of this award, Barak Ravid.

01:54Thank you to Jonathan Swan, a fellow reigning champion of this award for Axios,

01:59for telling me I should go and work for Axios.

02:04Thank you to Peter Bradley Singer and WME for being world-class and representing journalists.

02:10Thank you to mentors like Maureen Dowd, Peter Kanellos, and Mike Tackett.

02:15I wouldn't be standing here without you.

02:18Thank you to Jake Tapper for being a fearless reporting partner for a book on this very topic.

02:25It's my speech, so a nakedly shameless plug that Original Sin is available for pre-order right now.

02:35And thank you most of all to my sources for trusting me.

02:41One serious note.

02:44To my bones, I believe that reporting and the White House Correspondents Association is as necessary as ever.

02:53President Biden's decline and its cover-up by the people around him

02:59is a reminder that every White House, regardless of party, is capable of deception.

03:07But being truth-tellers also means telling the truth about ourselves.

03:11We, myself included, missed a lot of this story.

03:17And some people trust us less because of it.

03:20We bear some responsibility for faith in the media being at such lows.

03:27I say this because acknowledging errors builds trust.

03:40And being defensive about them further erodes it.

03:45We should have done better.

03:47I believe our mission is vital in a world where people are struggling to figure out what's true

03:57and people with power are not telling the truth.

04:02I also believe that this association has been, is, and will continue to be critical to that mission.

04:13Thank you to the association's leadership for your unflinching defense of the First Amendment.

04:20Not just now, but always.

04:23Your decades of daily battles on behalf of reporters is why this award is one of the great honors of my life.

04:34Of my life.

04:36Oh.

04:37One last thing.

04:38I love you, Mom.

04:39Thank you, guys.

04:40Alex, congratulations.

04:59And we can't wait to read your book.

05:01Thank you, Mika.

05:02Thank you.

05:03Thank you.

05:04Thank you.

05:05Thank you very much.
