Foreigning me today to discuss all of the White House correspondent ordeal debacle is my friend Jim Acosta, host of the Jim Acosta Show. Jim, so you were there. You were, were you in the ballroom at the.

I was actually not at the dinner. So I, I didn't go because I said, you know, I, I don't want to be a part of this. I don't want to be part of anything where, where Trump was going to speak, the Free press and everything. So, you know, I thought about getting a table for me and my guys and we just said, no, let's not do it this year. Let's do it another year. So I was at the substack party where, you know, there was other stuff going on. But, you know, I mean, we can talk about the dinner itself, but to me, like, you know, this, this is yet another reason why this, this event should be scrapped in its current form. It should not continue like this.

Well, let's get on to some pressing matters. Number one, I like to browbeat Cash Patel, obviously, because he's such an eas. So here is right after the shooting, and here is some video of Cash Money working as director of the FBI. Let's play this clip. So there he is, looking around, dazed, confused. Do you know, just.

It's like James bond. It's, it's 007 right there. There he is.

Vodka martini, shaken, not stirred. And, and definitely shaken.

And then here's this bit from the New York Times regarding Cash Patel that I thought was just fantastic. Pop this up.
B (1:40)
Yeah.

Patel was seen being ushered out of the Hilton through the lobby at 10:02pm about 90 minutes after shots were fired, The Washington Post reported. His girlfriend, who was also invited by the mail, was hiding in a room holding hands with another man, but later left with Patel, the New York Times reported. And I don't know if you remember this, this tweet that Cash put out a few months ago that his girlfriend was a country music sensation and she had done more for this country in 10 lifetimes than anybody else. So I can only imagine how badly Cash is reeling from this reveal that Alexis is holding hands with somebody in a closet somewhere.

Yeah, I, you know, that one, that one is, is, is strange. I mean, there was a lot of strange stuff going on that night. There was, There was Stephen Miller apparently hiding behind Katie Miller. They rushed out JD Vance before they rushed out Trump. I mean, this whole thing was a shit show. And the only folks who came out smelling like a rose, it seems to me, were the folks in the press. I thought, despite the fact that I didn't want to go to the event, and I thought it wasn't right that people in the press were having this event with Trump. I thought Weijia Jang, the head of the Correspondence association, handled it well, but, I mean, this was a shit show from top to bottom. I mean, first of all, why is it that the president, the vice president and the speaker of the House line of succession is right there? They're all in one ballroom that is not being guarded that well. Like, you know, you're just in a hotel where people can just check in. And apparently this, the shooter was able to check in without any kind of security. I mean, the whole thing is nuts. And that, I mean, I've been saying this for, I mean, since last year, that this, this event just needs to be rethought. Like, you know, this idea that the press.
