Will SommerGUEST
Yeah.
Sam SteinHOST
We're gonna be talking about what's going on with the White House Press Corps, the White House, Trump TV, right-wing media trying to do new things and not doing them well.
Sam SteinHOST
Before we do that, I guess I should just make a plug.
Sam SteinHOST
We usually do the plugs at the end, but if you like media that doesn't tolerate bullshit, that's independent, subscribe to The Bulwark, or just follow us on YouTube, please.
Sam SteinHOST
All right.
Sam SteinHOST
So we're recording this at 1:30-ish, Thursday, September 24th.
Sam SteinHOST
We've had quite the morning with the White House Press Corps, right? Like, so CNN, Politico, MSNBC were all banned, but last night, and guys, correct me if I'm getting any of this wrong, last night a judge said, or no, this morning a judge said that ban has to be lifted 'cause to the White House, uh, because they were not given the, you know, proper, you know, time or, or opportunity to contest the ban.
Sam SteinHOST
Then they show up at the White House [laughs] and they're not let in.
Nicolle WallaceHOST
Our MS Now colleague, Jake Trailer, reporting on the surreal reality today that played out earlier.
Nicolle WallaceHOST
Reporters who, up until a few days ago, were regular daily participants in the White House press corps and White House press pool were not welcome at the people's house.
Nicolle WallaceHOST
It's not Trump's house.
Nicolle WallaceHOST
Only thanks to the ruling overnight by Judge Timothy Kelly were their passes eventually restored and turned back on.

Melissa MurrayGUEST
The Truth Social lawsuit I think is actually very interesting.
Melissa MurrayGUEST
It's based on California's Unfair Practices Law, Unfair Competition Practices Law.
Melissa MurrayGUEST
But I also think it relates to what we've been seeing with regard to the banning of the White House Press Corps.
Melissa MurrayGUEST
This is about the president using Truth Social to give out public information to certain people who pay for it, for subscribers, in advance of when the regular public gets it.
Alex WagnerHOST
... to fight the president in court, I'm kind of a little frustrated, and I'm on the outside, that it took this long.
Alex WagnerHOST
Because this is a man who has had a verbally abusive relationship with the members of the White House Press Corps, and I'm gonna say especially you.
Alex WagnerHOST
This is just...
Alex WagnerHOST
If, for people who have forgotten what that was like, first of all, check out April's new book, but look, look, just take a look at some, at least a s- very short highlight reel.
Alex WagnerHOST
I will say that.
April RyanGUEST
Oh, but let, but let me tell you, let me tell you this.
April RyanGUEST
If he would've de- if, if the White House Press Corps and the press would've come together that first term-
Alex WagnerHOST
Yeah
Mary Louise KellyHOST
With that, let's take another quick break.
Mary Louise KellyHOST
When we come back, Trump's standoff with the press corps that covers him.
Mary Louise KellyHOST
Plus OSINT, open source intelligence.
Mary Louise KellyHOST
Keep listening to Sources and Methods.
David PollackGUEST
What, what are they? The White House Press Association?
Pierson SharpHOST
White House Press Corps.
David PollackGUEST
Press Cor- something, whatever they are.
Pierson SharpHOST
Yeah.
Jared GanzHOST
208 years.
Jared GanzHOST
Which president does Lohr state saw a group of reporters in the rain and invited them into the White House to talk, launching the White House Press Corps? 1.
Jared GanzHOST
Abraham Lincoln.
Jared GanzHOST
Two, Theodore Roosevelt.
Albert MohlerHOST
And honestly, no president can do that without CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, and Fox News.
Albert MohlerHOST
The White House press corps has also been told that the president, that is President Donald J. Trump, has considered moving the press.
Albert MohlerHOST
Indeed, some of the language would say removing the press from the White House itself and putting the press in an alternative location.
Albert MohlerHOST
I can just say that would make his own job much more difficult.
Albert MohlerHOST
I think he probably knows that.
Albert MohlerHOST
The President of the United States and the press corps, well, they're just locked in a situation in which they need each other.
Albert MohlerHOST
Now, President Trump has lobbed a very significant charge against the media, and especially when it comes to CNN, MSNBC Now, and Politico.
Albert MohlerHOST
They are now barred from the White House press room.
Terry MoranSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's not yours, basically.
Bill O'ReillyHOST
So the ABC wouldn't let him do the story, even though he was attached to the White House Press Corps.
Bill O'ReillyHOST
Oof.
Bill O'ReillyHOST
That's what I'm talking about, suppressing the news.
Jim AcostaHOST
Yeah.
Don LemonGUEST
I don't think any president, um, w- well, I know that presidents don't normally get to decide who's in the White House Press Corps and who's in the briefing-
Jim AcostaHOST
Correct
Don LemonGUEST
... room and who's not.
Michael DelGiornoHOST
Mm-hmm.
David ZanottiPANELIST
And right now, they're busy suing the president, uh, for, uh, him attempting to control their editorial content, much like the conflict that's going on right now with the White House Press Corps.
David ZanottiPANELIST
But the Center for American Progress has not disappeared.
David ZanottiPANELIST
They are keeping their powder dry.
