00:00We want more outlets, and new outlets, to have a chance to take part in the press pool,
00:06to cover this administration's unprecedented achievements up close, front and center.
00:12As you all know, for decades, a group of D.C.-based journalists, the White House Correspondents
00:17Association, has long dictated which journalists get to ask questions of the President of the
00:22United States in these most intimate spaces.
00:26Not anymore.
00:29A select group of D.C.-based journalists should no longer have a monopoly over the privilege
00:33of press access at the White House.
00:36All journalists, outlets, and voices deserve a seat at this highly coveted table.
00:42So by deciding which outlets make up the limited press pool on a day-to-day basis, the White
00:47House will be restoring power back to the American people who President Trump was elected
00:51to serve.
00:54Asking the President of the United States questions in limited spaces, such as the Oval
00:59Office in Air Force One, is a privilege that unfortunately has only been granted to a few.
01:05It is not a legal right for all.
01:09The Trump administration has already proven to be the most transparent ever, and this
01:13President the most accessible in history.
