## Transcript

People have to behave and they have to do we are writing up rules and regulations to make a position I think you were treated very unfairly both of you. I think you were treated very unfairly because you have somebody interrupting you. If they don't listen to rules and regulations will end back in court and we'll win But more importantly will just leave. And then you will be very happy. Because- Mr. President. We get good ratings. Mr. President you talked about rules and regulations. What do you mean sir? Decorum. You can't take three questions and four questions and just stand up and not sit down.

Decorum. You have to practice decorum. You were there, you understood, and you understand. We want total freedom of the press. It's very important to me, it's more important to me than anybody would believe. But you have to act with respect, you're in the White House. And what I see the way some of my people get treated at press conferences, it's terrible. So we're setting up a Certain standard which is what the court is requesting and always freedom of the press, always first amendment but that's the way it is and we always have the action of just leaving, you know. We feel that things aren't treated properly, that people aren't being treated properly.

We always have the right to leave. And I think the Other media and the other press in the room will not be very happy if that happens, but I've instructed my people when they're not treated properly, you have the right to just leave any time you want, okay?
