They, they ask for immediate relief.

Meanwhile, there's like this kind of commotion happening at the White House, whether they're gonna get let in or not, and then they eventually do get let in to the premises, but they are not given access to the pool, and the pool is the group of collective reporters who cover every move by the president, which is part of the access.

So they're limited access.

They do have access to the premises.

I think I got that right.

You know, Sam, there's something that I feel like sums up this kind of farce at the White House over the past few days.

After CNN, after the outlets were allowed back in, all these reporters were obviously, you know, w- covering it and taking pictures and interviewing the reporters or trying to do whatever.

And then this Daily Wire reporter, Mary Margaret Olohan, she goes, "Everyone's so focused on this CNN foolishness, while meanwhile Xi Jinping is inside the White House.

The anti-fraud task force led by Vice President Vance has announced that it's removing some 760,000 Obamacare enrollments that are allegedly fraudulent.

Here to discuss that and more is Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olohan.

Mary Margaret, thanks for chatting with us in the rain.

[laughs] Thanks for having me.

So I'm walking around Radio Row, and I see Sam Donaldson.

Sam Donaldson was a reporter back in the 1980s for ABC News, and his job was to basically bother Ronald Reagan.

He would go into the White House press office and-- or in the press room, and then he would ask badgering questions to Ronald Reagan and his press secretaries.

And he was considered, again, an objective journalist.

But, um, the composition of the pool has changed from what it used to be.

Yeah.

There are more friendly reporters there.

Yeah.

Welcome to The District Club, brought to you by the Daily Wire.

I'm Ben Domenech, opinion editor at the Daily Wire, joined by my colleagues, Mary Margaret Olohan, White House correspondent, and Tim Rice, DC bureau chief.

And we're happy to welcome to our stage today for our opening inaugural episode, Rachel Bade, an incredibly accomplished, uh, writer, reporter, you know, longtime coverer of all the inner, uh, circle aspects of Washington, which is where you can find her Substack, The Inner Circle.

The Inner Circle.

Thank you very much, Brent.

Let's get back to D.C. where Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olihan is standing by at the White House.

Mary Margaret, great to see you.

Great to be here.

We know that the knives have been out for him with the legacy press and among folks on the right as well, going after the vice president as it starts to crystallize a bit that he is one of the front runners for the White House in 2028.

What was the treatment he got compared to what we see towards Caroline Leavitt or what we saw towards Marco Rubio when he was in this spot?

Yeah, I think one of the major things that he talked about today and he was asked about specifically came from my friend Christian Daytalk, who is a White House correspondent for the Washington Examiner.

And Daytalk asked the vice president, he said, I know that you're not going to comment on your future as the, you know, potential 2028 presidential nominee.
