White House Access Is a Privilege

Last week, President Donald J. Trump removed CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House grounds after years of false reporting. The First Amendment protects their right to publish; it does not entitle them to a hard pass, briefing room seat, or place in the press pool.

Access changes are nothing new. What is new, however, is the sudden claim that it becomes sacred only when the outlets are friendly to the Radical Left. The rule was never “every outlet gets in.” It was always “our side stays in.”

For years, Democrat Administrations have restricted, punished, and locked out the press

2009: The Obama White House branded Fox News as the “research arm” and “communications arm” of the Republican Party, barred it from a round of exclusive Sunday show interviews, instructed agencies to “skip” including it in pooled coverage, derided it as “really not news,” and undertook an all-out effort to isolate the organization. Barack Hussein Obama now calls a Fox ban “unimaginable,” but his White House tried it — and his spokesman admitted they were willing to do it.

2011: Obama White House officials restricted the Boston Herald from coverage — writing that pool slots depended on covering Obama “fairly” — after the paper ran a front page Mitt Romney op-ed.

2023: The Biden White House blocked New York Post reporter Steven Nelson from covering the President’s only daytime public event — despite empty seats in the room — after the reporter pressed Biden on his family’s shady business dealings.

The 1st amendment and privilege/right is just cover story stuff.

The REAL story is the 5-d chess being played out. Trump did this KNOWING that there would be a lawsuit to overturn, thru a leftist judge. With that, comes discovery. With discovery, comes CNN/MSbow-wow/Polutico outing themselves.

Trump already has the goods on these three, but instead of accusing them of specific fake news, discovery leads them to incriminate themselves.

MORE OF THIS. GD why does O'Keefe have to struggle alone? Or more to the point, the johnny-on-the-spot livestreamers like Nick and his Twitterkin DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES to humiliate CNN and their allies upstream, the Democrat gibmedat communist core!

Look at WaPo to open this week, going straight after Tyler Hassen's freaking brilliant DOGE hagiography "Inside DOGE: The Real Story From a Senior Insider".

This kid knocked it out of the park, it aligns with everything Musk stated at the time, that had he continued dismantling Fed fraud, that the communists would have killed him. Period. Paragraph.

Musk's Feb. 28, 2025, interview with Rogan put ALL the IMMIGRANT FRAUD OUT THERE in plain and easy-to-understand terms.
"That's the nature of the scam...It's a bank shot
So then the then the rebuttal from the Dems is like, "Oh well, the vast majority of the people who are marked as alive in the Social Security Administration weren't receiving Social Security Administration payments." That is true...What they forgot to mention is they're getting fraudulent payments from every other government program
And that's why the the Dems were so opposed to turning off to to someone dead who was dead because it would stop the entire other all the other fraud from happening
And so but all this is it trackable like all this other fraud; if they wanted to they could chase it all down. It's not even hard, and yet they're opposing chasing it all down
They're opposing chasing it all down because it would it turn off the money magnet for the illegals
Because it's very logical to to like like I'm saying the most common sense things possible. If someone's got uh a birthday in social security that is a birthday, meaning they are older than the oldest living American or were born in the future, then you should call them and say, "Excuse me, we seem to have your birthday wrong." Uh because it says that you're 200 years old. That's all you need to do. Um, and >> and then you would remove them from the social security database and make that number no longer available for all those other government payments
And how much money are we talking
It's hundreds of billions of dollars ...And this is all traceable...Like you could hunt all [clears throat] like you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes here is what I'm saying...you just need to call the person and and say, "Excuse me, we either we we seem to have the [laughter] like we we we must have your birthday wrong because it says you're 200 years old or were born uh in the future." Um so could you tell us what your birthday is...It's it's that simple
But the all these other government payments that are available that are connected to this social security number, it seems like if you just chased that all down, Yeah you would find the widespread fraud. You would find where it's going
Well, you were very reluctant last time you were here to talk about the extent of some of the fraud because you're like, they could kill me because this is kind of...
Yeah. What I was saying is that um the like if you create if like uh I like like to be pragmatic and...um you actually can't manage to zero fraud...you can manage to low fraud number but not to zero fraud. If you manage to zero fraud, um you you you're going to push so many people over the edge who are receiving fraudulent payments that the number of inbound maniacs will be uh really hard to overcome... So I I'm I'm actually taking I think quite a reasonable position which is that we should simply reduce the amount of fraud which I think is not an extremist position ... we should aspire to, you know, have less fraud over time.Um, not that we should be ultra draconian and eliminate every last scrap of fraud.Um, which I guess would be nice to have, but but like we don't even need to go that extreme.I'm I'm saying we should just stop the blatant large scale super obvious fraud. It's a very reasonable position.
When you started into where money was going
Well, um I guess it this was I should have anticipated this, but um while most of the fraudulent government payments to especially to the NOS's go to the Democrats, most of it like I don't know for argument sake let's say 80% maybe 90% ... Um um 10 to 20% of it does go to Republicans.And so when we'd turn off funding to a fraudulent NGO, we'd get complaints from whatever the 10% of Republicans who were receiving uh the money and and they would, you know, they would very loudly complain."
