00:00Good morning, please take your seats because it's time for the 9 a.m. Press Briefing
00:07Cabinet Chair with your new and improved White House Press Corps.
00:12President-elect Trump apparently discussed that he wants to shake things up in the White
00:16House Press Briefing Room and there are 49 seats in there.
00:19Donald Trump Jr. went on his podcast called Triggered.
00:22We had the conversation about opening up the press room to a lot of these independent journalists.
00:28And podcasters like Joe Rogan, Theo Vaughn, people like that.
00:31I have to say, I think it's a good idea.
00:34Traditional media on both sides, they've all become advocates, and they just are.
00:39So it's not like everybody's doing objective reporting anyway.
00:42If there's a problem with it, there's a problem, but don't just surrender and then bring in
00:45a bunch of your cheerleaders.
00:46All the people that he just named are conservative podcasters.
00:49No, have both.
00:51Or how about have neither?
00:52How about just have a room full of objective journalists?
00:56And while we're at it, we'd also like lollipops to fall from the sky.
00:59But 49 seats, which means while the podcasters are being shown to their new seats, other
01:03reporters are going to be shown the door.
01:05Just because they've been there longer, it's like the way Congress functions.
01:08You get a committee not because you know anything about banking, but because you've been there
01:11longer.
01:12Why not open it up to people who have larger viewerships?
01:15I'm not saying do podcasters because of their views.
01:19I'm saying it because media's changed.
01:22People now get their news from podcasts.
01:24They get their news from TikToks.
01:25And love it or hate it, it is a good idea.
01:27Wait, wait, wait.
01:28Should the TMZ podcast be there?
01:30Exactly.
01:31You want Beavis and Butthead in the bus understanding room?
01:35Why not?
01:36They can sit next to Haktua.
01:37Welcome to the party, everyone.
