- 0:37Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt, the new secretary or.
- 0:40Speaker 2: That the News spokes for people the White House. She's
- 0:44Speaker 2: pretty good.
- 0:44Speaker 1: She came out and said, look, if you're a legitimate
- 0:47Speaker 1: news organization and you're covering the White House, you don't
- 0:49Speaker 1: have to be part of legacy media. You don't have
- 0:51Speaker 1: to be part of big media. You could be a blogger,
- 0:53Speaker 1: you could be a TikToker. As long as you're doing
- 0:55Speaker 1: legitimate news, you can apply for a White House press credential.
- 0:59Speaker 1: And they got a record number of press applications, like
- 1:03Speaker 1: seventeen thousand or something like that stain one day. So look,
- 1:07Speaker 1: we're we're a kind of a news organization. I mean,
- 1:10Speaker 1: we cover the news. Here are you American mama's gonna
- 1:13Speaker 1: apply for a press cridiary?
- 1:15Speaker 4: I certainly can. With this new administration, they're giving people
- 1:18Speaker 4: a chance. It made me think, how have we not
- 1:22Speaker 4: thought of this before? Trump continues to think of things
- 1:26Speaker 4: to He's such an entrepreneur at heart, so he's given
- 1:28Speaker 4: people the opportunity who have been in this lane to
- 1:32Speaker 4: do this very, very thing. And I was thinking about
- 1:35Speaker 4: that today because she said the words new media landscape, right,
- 1:39Speaker 4: That's what's happening. It is the new media landscape that
- 1:43Speaker 4: allowed people to see the truth and hear the truth,
- 1:46Speaker 4: because if it was just left up to the legacy media,
- 1:49Speaker 4: we wouldn't know three fourths of what's actually going on now.
- 1:53Speaker 1: The American mamas have had press credentials to events with
- 1:56Speaker 1: Donald Trump in the past. You guys have been to
- 1:59Speaker 1: what you lead us to have been to Terry. You've
- 2:01Speaker 1: been to two different Donald Trump rollies, right, one with
- 2:03Speaker 1: the one of Monroe and one in Shreetport.
- 2:07Speaker 2: You just did the one support.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Okay, Kimberly, you gonna You're gonna apply for pres credentials?
- 2:14Speaker 5: Uh? Yeah, I think I can't. It's interesting when she
- 2:18Speaker 5: announced this, I thought it was kind of amazing because
- 2:21Speaker 5: I thought, you know, all these years we've kind of
- 2:23Speaker 5: been limited to what we know because of the teo
- 2:26Speaker 5: hearing the information. But I don't know about you guys,
- 2:29Speaker 5: but it kind of made me think about how the
- 2:31Speaker 5: Bible was written and preached in Latin, you know, and
- 2:34Speaker 5: that was a language that people didn't know at the time,
- 2:37Speaker 5: and church bishops and priests they're the guardians of the language.
- 2:41Speaker 5: So those people, as Christians, they had to trust with
- 2:44Speaker 5: the churchs was telling them, and Martin Luther translated the
- 2:48Speaker 5: Bible and then people could read it for themselves to
- 2:50Speaker 5: find their own truth. And because of that we have
- 2:52Speaker 5: a denominations that it made me think of these podcasters
- 2:56Speaker 5: and TikTokers. Not to overcredit all of them, but they've
- 3:00Speaker 5: started a similar movement against modern major media, and I
- 3:04Speaker 5: think citizen journalism is here to stay, and I think
- 3:07Speaker 5: the media hates it that they're doing this for that reason.
- 3:12Speaker 4: Were y'all surprised when she said that there were press
- 3:15Speaker 4: passes of four hundred and forty journalists that had been revoked, Yeah,
- 3:20Speaker 4: the previous administration, because.
- 3:22Speaker 2: That hadn't made the news exactly. How would that not
- 3:25Speaker 2: mean the news it would.
- 3:26Speaker 4: Have had it been reversed, had it been Trump during
- 3:29Speaker 4: his first term, had he revoked even what's his name,
- 3:32Speaker 4: uh jist, Yeah, Jim Acosta, that would have been huge.
- 3:35Speaker 4: It was huge that he told him to sit down.
- 3:37Speaker 1: He did revoke Acosta's press pass for like a day
- 3:41Speaker 1: or two, and then CNN got it back. But it
- 3:43Speaker 1: was huge news and it was just one guy. Yeah,
- 3:45Speaker 1: Biden comes in and he dumps four and forty.
- 3:48Speaker 4: And we don't hear about it.
- 3:49Speaker 2: Don't hear about it.
- 3:50Speaker 4: See, that's what we're talking about. That's the mainstream media
- 3:52Speaker 4: could have So why didn't those who were also in
- 3:55Speaker 4: the room report on that. This is when it gets
- 3:58Speaker 4: so conflicted. To me, there are people I don't know
- 4:01Speaker 4: if y'all follow there's so many, you know, Megan Kelly, Dave,
- 4:03Speaker 4: Room and Ruthless podcasts, all these podcasters, theo von you
- 4:08Speaker 4: know that come on there. There's one that's called Andy.
- 4:11Speaker 2: No n g o Oh. He is brave.
- 4:14Speaker 4: If he doesn't get a press pass, then they're really
- 4:17Speaker 4: missing out. This guy, he's a gay American who actually
- 4:21Speaker 4: was in the thick of BLM and Antifa that he
- 4:23Speaker 4: got he.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Was assaulted by by BLM by Antifa of people, and.
- 4:28Speaker 4: If you go to his page, these are people who
- 4:30Speaker 4: just did this like free lance, on their own. They
- 4:33Speaker 4: have this desire to share the news. Yes, and like
- 4:36Speaker 4: Kimberly just so brilliantly said, we depend on those that
- 4:40Speaker 4: have the titles. And there are people who are living it,
- 4:44Speaker 4: that are seeing it, breathing it and trying to give
- 4:46Speaker 4: us the news. We finally have it, and they're giving
- 4:48Speaker 4: them a seat. Not only are they giving them a
- 4:49Speaker 4: seat in that press room, they're given the front seat.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Chris Rufo, Robbie Starbough.
- 4:55Speaker 4: Yes, Terrence Williams, Colin Rudd.
- 4:58Speaker 1: There are yes, there are people who are just going
- 5:00Speaker 1: out and doing this and it's making a difference for Americans.
- 5:06Speaker 1: We're seeing things. Sheryl Atkinson another good one. Independent's Husby partner.

- 5:12Speaker 4: in a big way, the walk away movement.
- 5:14Speaker 1: You're seeing a whole bunch of that. It's I think
- 5:16Speaker 1: it's absolutely fascinating. And yeah, we actually have we are
- 5:21Speaker 1: talking about getting applying for some pressed passes as we need.
- 5:25Speaker 4: So that's our goal. Kimberly and I've talked about this
