1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: The White House Press Corps, the media in general, his 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: working itself into a deep lather because there might be 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: changes in the White House Daily briefing. The Chief of 4 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: Staff rens previous floated the idea that the whole format 5 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: in the briefing room seating chart might come under review. 6 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 1: Quicker than you can say, spoiled liberal brats. Complaints started 7 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 1: pouring in. The Hill dot Com points out that seating 8 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: arrangements are made by the White House Correspondence Association, not 9 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: the White House. True enough, but the reason for that 10 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: is that previous administrations were gutless and didn't want to 11 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: be accused of playing favorites. Do you think Trump would 12 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,919 Speaker 1: care about that? I don't. He's already changed a lot 13 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 1: of traditions the media was used to. Perhaps the change 14 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: they resent most is that he doesn't allow them to 15 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: travel all his plane. And he even had the gall 16 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: to say during the campaign he thought libel laws should 17 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: be reformed so that he could sue them more easily 18 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: and win. Now, the president of the White House Correspondent 19 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: Association a guy named Jeff Mason. He works for Reuters. 20 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: He wants to meet with Trump to work out any differences. Okay, 21 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: fine yes or yes or three bags and all that. 22 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: Bottom line is it's up to the White House how 23 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: the press briefings are run and if there are any, 24 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: and who sits where and who gets credential, if previous, 25 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: If serious about this, I'm telling you this drive by 26 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: seating Wark and be a hilarious spectacle to watch. An 27 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,839 Speaker 1: eye for one cannot wait to see the gaskets blow
