00:23What do you guys got?
00:24Mr. Vice President, so CNN, MSNOW, and Politico are now suing over the ban.
00:28And do you think it's appropriate for the president to be banning media outlets just because he doesn't like what
00:32they report?
00:32Well, I take some issue with the premise.
00:34So he's not banning media outlets.
00:36What he's doing is saying, we're not going to give you special access to the White House if you engage
00:40in what is effectively propaganda.
00:42We have to remember, those three outlets account.
00:45About 92 percent of the stories that they have on the president of the United States, on the administration, are
00:50negative.
00:50That's not representative of the American people.
00:52It's not representative of public opinion.
00:54So if you're going to engage in what is effectively far-left propaganda, why would a Republican White House give
01:00you special access?
01:01Sir, you've talked a lot about free speech over the years.
01:03How is this not an attack on free speech?
01:05Well, they can still report on the Trump White House.
01:07They can still get the public reports.
01:09They can still, of course, talk to people in the administration and outside the administration.
01:13What the president has said is, we're not going to give you special access inside the White House.
01:17The way that I think about it is, if you go back to the Biden administration or the Obama administration,
01:21compare, let's say, Politico to Breitbart.
01:24If you actually look at the objective analysis, Politico and Breitbart are, Politico is as anti-Trump as Breitbart was
01:31anti-Obama or anti-Biden.
01:34Now, why on God's green earth would Donald Trump be expected to give Politico special access when nobody in the
01:40media expected the Biden administration or the Obama administration to give Breitbart special access?
01:46It's about basic fairness.
01:48They could still report.
01:49They still have the access to free speech.
01:51They're just not going to get an office in the White House anymore.
01:54And I think it's totally appropriate, unless, of course, they start to behave like drill news organizations.
01:58Do you have a status update on...
