reporters in the white house press room so a pass on her questions because she couldn't make it due to the regulations and stuff like that and they did no credentials no background check nothing and this laziness or incompetence or whatever you want to call it on the part of the white house press team is exactly what led montague to do all this in the 1st place i love journalism and i think the press corps is doing a pretty bad job at the moment so i decided i wouldn't show us some transparency and ask some questions me and some friends wanted the answer to and she's not the only one fed up with real journalists ever since biden circa office the pres briefings in the white house have turned into a game of softball a police compared to the way the media behaved during the trial. but ministration back then everyone suddenly had a sense of journalistic duty to ask the hard questions and grill the administration over everything and anything this present like good you think candidates are going to question bill president like can you give us or closer to your doubting us can you give us

white house press association and the reporters there because when you are covering a white house, you all have to be in the same boat and work to get information out of whatever administration it is. so i don't fault my colleagues at the white house in the least bit. and if we look at the motivation, why did this person -- whoever they are, i think it said they're a gamer who wanted to get in there, it reminds me back during the obama/biden years when you had tareq and mikhail salahi who crashed a state dinner. we all remember that. do you remember that? the couple crashed this dinner, and then they wanted to brag -- there they are, look at that. >> yeah!
