what I'm calling a Kremlin press pool, as opposed to a real press pool by the end of the year, if not much, much sooner in the Trump White House. I think that, you know, is a part of their agenda that I definitely anticipate, offering Americans the facsimile and the appearance of Trump being surrounded by reporters when in fact they're not

you know, truly independent reporters, but handpicked for their loyalty to the regime. Certainly it would be very consistent with the playbook of authoritarianism that he's following in every other respect. So to me, this looks like an early testing, you know, probing fight. And by the way,

I am so all powerful that if you don't adopt my language and call the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America, then I will ban you. That is literally what our first amendment was designed for. And yes, if you allow it to pass without complaining, then you are part of the problem. And I hope that the bulwark will stand up for the Associated Press.

Yeah, no, that's right, Tim. And look, you know, the goal here is to overwhelm us with outrages such that we're kind of soporific and unable to respond effectively to any one of them. But, you know, I hated the post election, you know, kind of democratic chest beating and media chest beating over.
