## Transcript

Many of our nation's reporters and folks will not tell you the truth, and will not treat the wonderful people of our country with the respect that they deserve. And I hope going forward we can be a little bit different, and maybe get a long a little bit better, if that's possible. Maybe it's not, and that's okay too. Unfortunately much of the media in Washington DC, along with New York, Los Angeles, in particular, speaks not for the people but for the special interests and those profiting off a very, very obviously broken system. The press has become So dishonest that if we don't talk about it we are doing a tremendous disservice to the American people, tremendous disservice.

We have to talk about it to find out what's going on because the press honestly is out of control. The level of dishonesty is out of control. I turn on the TV, open the newspapers and I see stories of chaos. Chaos, yet it is the exact opposite. This administration is running like a fine tuned machine.
