1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Dan Manchison's at US correspondent with US Now. Dan, Good afternoon.

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 2: Hey Ryan, good afternoon.

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: So Mike, how's this going down?

4
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 2: This?

5
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: You know, one day it didn't happen that you know,

6
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: the Atlantic is this evil media outlet, and then today

7
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: full responsibility.

8
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 2: Right, And I'm quite surprised that he came and he

9
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 2: raised his hand so quickly because I mean, like you said,

10
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 2: this is potentially classified information and appeared in this group

11
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: chat about the military strikes, and a journalist was included

12
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,319
Speaker 2: in that chat. And like you mentioned too, I mean,

13
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 2: how do you get that phone number in without checking

14
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: on it? I mean that'd be like sending up well,

15
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: you know, not a picture to somebody that you didn't

16
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 2: mean to send it to. But obviously this was and

17
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 2: President President Trump came out and said, well, you know what,

18
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: this was a learning lesson. So just a short time ago,

19
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: Michael Waltz, as you just heard, came out and said,

20
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: you know, okay, that was me. I take responsibility. And

21
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: it's interesting because they used Signal, which is this encrypted

22
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: messaging platform, but it's a commercial app I mean, something

23
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: anybody can get and it's not approved for classified information.

24
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 2: So that's kind of a head scratch. I mean, who

25
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: would approve using something like this?

26
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, you kind of Russia of a great to

27
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: ceasefire in the black seat, But these conditions, right Russia

28
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: line are going to do it if they dropped some

29
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: of the sanctions.

30
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, they wanted a lot of the restrictions that we've

31
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: put on, and we've been the US on fertilizer and

32
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: food and the banks lifted by the US. I don't

33
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 2: know if it's going to get to that point. However,

34
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: earlier today the presidential reporters, he was looking at all

35
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: the conditions, at all the options. He says, quote, we're

36
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: thinking about them. And then you've got Zelenski who's accusing

37
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: Russia of trying to deceive mediators because he says they

38
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: keep adding new terms. He said, they're already trying to

39
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: twist the agreements and deceive both the mediators on the

40
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: whole world. And then I mean, the US in these

41
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: two countries have agreed to band strikes against a lot

42
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: of the facilities over there. But it seems like these

43
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: terms and conditions are getting longer and maybe a little

44
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: bit more complicated. But I I guess that's to be

45
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: expected when you now have three countries trying to broke

46
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: a deal like this.

47
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, the AP hitting to court to try and

48
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: get their access to the White House reinstated. Have I

49
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: got this wrong? Or is AP still allowed to the

50
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: White House press briefings but just not allowed to the

51
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: Oval office In other areas.

52
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: Well, they can be on the grounds of the White House,

53
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 2: but they can't go into the press briefings. If the

54
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 2: President flies to let's say, Georgia, they're not going to

55
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 2: fly on Air Force one. They have to pay their

56
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: own way, which is what they're doing right now. And

57
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 2: what people have to realize is the AP has provided

58
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 2: as a news source for hundreds of millions of people

59
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 2: around the world. They've got print in digital and video

60
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: and audio for decades and decades, and now you have

61
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: a White House who is saying, well, you don't agree

62
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: with us, so we're banning you from covering us. And

63
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: this sets a very bad precedent because you're bowing before

64
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: the White House or you get kicked out, or you

65
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: don't get called on by the Press secretary, which we've

66
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: seen in previous administrations. But the bottom line is the

67
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: government favoring certain news organizations over others is part of,

68
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 2: as many people have said over here, the authoritarian playbook,

69
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: and you just don't want to go down that.

70
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: Road, all right, Dan, Thank you very much for that.
