Hi everyone I hope you're all well so the role of the White House press
secretary has always been a difficult one but particularly so under President
Donald J Trump given the media's rampant hatred of him being the Trump Whitehouse
media Wrangler comes with its own very specific challenges this is probably why
the turnover rate is so high Trump has had no fewer than four press secretaries
in three years the first was the more traditional Sean Spicer who had the
misfortune of realizing too late that as Trump is not a traditional president
behaving like a traditional press secretary was not going to work second
was the delightful Sarah Huckabee Sanders she approached the job knowing
that since the press have a special resentment for Donald Trump she would
need to develop a special way of dealing with them which she did next came
Stephanie Grisham who flew under the radar a little bit since during her
eight months as press secretary she didn't actually hold an official press
briefing now critics of the Trump administration have jumped on this in an
attempt to assert that the White House has become less transparent but as
Stephanie pointed out that's ridiculous because Trump does the press briefings
himself he is constantly giving impromptu press briefings at White House
events or before boarding his helicopter not to mention his daily covert 19
briefings anyway the fact that Donald Trump has mostly been doing his own
press briefings rather than a press secretary indicates that the nature of
the role has shifted from being the link between the president and the press to
the president's defender on TV and on social media which brings me to the
fourth Trump White House press secretary Kaley mcenany who was appointed on April
7th this year now Kaley seems to be the logical evolution of her predecessors
into a press secretary particular to Trump that is someone specifically
tailored not just to television but to combat it has been apparent for quite
some time that there is simply no reasoning with most of the mainstream
media when it comes to Donald Trump I mean he could literally cue a cancer
and the press would de ride him for taking jobs away from cancer researchers
as such the Trump press secretary must be primed for conflict over diplomacy
they must be ready to turn defense into offense in a millisecond and they must
have no qualms about spitting fire at these activists journalists and then
rubbing salt in the wound and they must be utterly charming while they are doing
it so there really is nobody more perfect for this entirely unprecedented
role than young Kaylee mcenany Kaylee first came to my attention a couple of
weeks ago when a clip of her smacking down a reporter at one of her early
press conferences went somewhat viral previous life before you were press
secretary worked for the campaign and he made a comment I believe on Fox in which
you said President Trump will not allow the coronavirus to come to this country
given what has happened since then obviously would you like to take that
back well first let me note I was asked a question on Fox Business about
presidents travel restrictions I noted what was the intent behind those travel
restrictions which is we will not see the coronavirus come here
we will not see terrorism come here referring to an earlier set of travel
restrictions I guess I would turn the question back on the media and ask
similar questions does Voxx want to take back that they proclaim that the
coronavirus would not be a deadly pandemic does the washington post's want
to take back that they told Americans to get a grip the flu is bigger than the
coronavirus does the Washington Post likewise want to take back that our
brains are causing us to exaggerate the threats of the coronavirus does the New
York Times want to take back that fear of the virus may be expressed spreading
faster than the virus itself does NPR want to take back that the flu was a
much bigger threat than the corona virus and finally once again the Washington
Post would they like to take back but the government should not respond
aggressively to the corona virus I'll leave you with those questions but maybe
you'll have some answers in a few days
the comment the reporter is referring to is from February this year when Kaylee
was a spokeswoman for the Trump campaign looking at the coronavirus and the
president saying you know look we're not gonna take people in from China right
now I mean isn't it just a matter of protecting us our national security
really being at stake and he's sort of the last line of defense there or
firstly I should say absolutely this president will always put America first
he will always protect American citizens we will not see diseases like the corona
virus come here we will not see terrorism come here and
isn't that refreshing when contrasting it with the awful presidency at
President Obama Caylee mackaninee thank you so much
good to see you thank you as you can see she was very much talking about the
virus in the context of travel bans from China rather than denying the virus
would enter the USA at all but of course leave it to the Trump hating journals to
take this out of context now her response to this attempted gotcha moment
Bigley made me take notice of her mainly because she did exactly what I would
have done in her situation that is be aware of everything she has ever said
that could possibly come back to bite her assume the media would in fact find
it and take it out of context and have a battle plan for if and when it came up I
mean you can see it in the clip as soon as the reporter mentions her comment
from February she starts leafing through the papers on the podium calmly putting
everything in order letting the reporter give himself just
enough wrote and then calmly delivering it the final blow which absolutely would
have been rehearsed in front of a mirror and I mean that in a good way
in that circumstance under that amount of pressure you would need to be as
smooth and unflappable as Pierce Brosnan's Bond names bond James Bond and
then the triumphant but restrained smile at the end plus the suave walk-off
perfection brilliant brilliant woman love at first sight from my perspective
clearly she is someone who don't take no garbage from no one
least of all the White House press pool and it seems not only does she have a
knack for calling them out on their hypocrisy she is also able to take
any journalists attempted gotcha she wants flip it and use it to push any
Republican talking point that she wants seamlessly like this it's been a while
since we've seen dr. Burke so for example I mean she is the coordinator of
the coronavirus task force when when when we see her and be able to get get
an update from her and be able to ask questions of her yeah again you know I I
don't know when in this capacity you will see her but I talked to dr. Burks
regularly in fact I talked to her just before I came out here excited some
questions about some funny numbers I heard from senator Elizabeth Warren and
she helped me to correct those numbers which I'd like to correct here because I
think it's unfair to the American people to give inflated case numbers and
mortality numbers because it leads to those same Americans making the decision
to not get a mammogram to not have the cancer screenings they need so I'd like
to just reveal to you some information dr. Burks just shared with me Elizabeth
Warren erroneously said there were 25,000 new cases today in fact there
were less than 20,000 senator Warren said there were 2,000 deaths in fact
there have been less than a thousand I spoke with dr. Burks about that so I'd
encourage our Democratic colleagues and all Americans to make sure we're putting
out their good information because it does have consequences
well it might seem like she's a mind-reader it is vastly more likely
that Kayleigh is just dogged ly prepared it as if before every press briefing she
goes through every perceivable hypothetical curveball these bad faith
anti-trump reporters could throw at her find multiple comebacks for them and
then write them all down and look I know this is her job but she just does it so
well like she covers angles that mere mortals simply wouldn't think of like
this recent encounter with an unbelievably condescending journalist
jerk president suggestion people should be jailed for what he said earlier in
the week was a very obvious crime you're an attorney and the president's course
person perhaps you could lay out the elements of this crime what crime was
committed and in what way I assume you're referring to the Obama
administration and the unmasking and vomiting what is it what are the
elements of that crime yeah I'm really glad you asked because there hasn't been
a lot of journalists to curiosity on this front and I'm very glad that you
asked this question look there were a number
of questions raised by the actions of the Obama administration the steel
dossier funded by the Democratic National Committee the opposition
political party to the president was used to attain FISA warrants to listen
in on conversations of people within the Trump campaign there was the unmasking
the identity of Michael Flynn and we know that in a January fifth meeting in
the Oval Office with President Obama Sally Yates from the Department of
Justice learned about the unmasking not from the Department of Justice or for
the FBI she learned about it from President Obama and was stunned and can
barely process what she was hearing at the time because she was stunned of his
knowledge of that we know that there was a lot of wrongdoing in the case of
Michael Flynn the FBI notes for instance that said should we get him to lie as
they pontificated their strategy we know that the identity of this three decade
general was leaked to the press a criminal leaked to the press of his
identity and violation of his Fourth Amendment rights these are very serious
questions they've been ignored by the media for far too long and I'm very glad
that I think that is the second question that I have fielded on Lieutenant
General Michael Flynn because justice does matter those questions they matter
sensational oh my gosh now you might be wondering at this point why I'm making
this a rather gushy video about the new White House press secretary it's not
just because I evidently have a massive girl crush on her but because she
reminds me so much of me both in the way that she conducts herself and in the way
that she is being framed by her detractors now not that I am in any way
comparing what I do to what she does my gosh no what I do is like one
ten-millionth as important or stressful as what she does and I am nowhere near
as gutsy or talented like not even close she is phenomenal however the way she is
being portrayed by her critics is very similar to the way that people tried to
portray me when I first started and indeed pretty much all other
conservative women below the age of 40 that is as grifters who are only in it
for the alleged money and the publicity all in the hopes of securing the
attention approval of white men see one of the
reasons Kaley is so good at smacking down these left-wing journalists at
every turn is because she has half a decade of experience arguing with them
on TV after graduating college in 2010 she worked for three years as a
production assistant at Fox News for Mike Huckabee however when it became
apparent that there wasn't an on-camera job for her at that point in time she
decided to go to law school Harvard to be precise while she was at Law School
she scored a job as a CNN pundit where she made a name for herself defending
Donald Trump in the face of every media hater out there no wonder she's so good
at tackling the White House press pool she has more experience that anyone had
tackling anti-trump ideologues now since she is in fact so good at what she does
her opposition are simply unable to critique her on an intellectual level as
such they've done the same thing they do to all conservative women that they
can't debate they attempt to discredit her like this piece of garbage from CNN
pointing out that shock horror she wasn't always Pro Trump Caylee how sick
of polls are people in New Hampshire right now probably very sick especially
when they see that Donald Trump is number two and doesn't deserve to be
there okay why do you think of the the Trump excitement what do you talk that I
appreciate his boldness and I think some of his rhetoric got the base excited but
it is not welcome rhetoric the GOP doesn't need to be turning away voters
and isolating them we need to be bringing them into the tent Donald Trump
is the last person who's going to do that
they're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those
problems with us they're bringing drugs they're bringing crime they're rapists
and some I assume are good people I want to make clear I don't support what
Donald Trump said I think he said something very an artful very
inappropriate however he was hitting at a real issue in this country to the fact
that the Republican Party is now having to claim him it's both unfortunate and
to me and authentic because this is not a true Republican candidate and the fact
that he's being portrayed as such a media is troublesome and not accurate
they say that he said all Mexican immigrants are criminals and rapists he
didn't say that by the way you can go back and look at the statement no no he
said when Mexico sends different this is another weakest play in the book I mean
it is possible funnily enough for people to change their opinions over time when
presented with new information this is what happened to Caylee and her response
to this accusation was to admit that at the start of Trump's campaign she
consumed and naively believed CNN headlines about the venn presidential
candidate which is enough to turn anybody off and aside from anything else
she's not the only conservative to have been originally anti Trump only to
change their tune when they paid closer attention to him nevertheless Kelly's
detractors have insisted that this change in her opinions was because she
wanted money and stardom and sought Trump as an opportunity to get there
like this little bit of opinion writing from the New York Times which is such
that her change in tone could be attributed to a conversation she had
with a Democrat colleague at a rooftop party in Manhattan in 2015
Donald Trump is going to be your nominee he said adding that if a smart young
blond Harvard graduate wanted to get on television have a career as a political
pundit you would be wise to be an early backer this month after years of
television appearances Twitter testimonials and campaign work that date
back almost to that party Miss mcenany was named by the President to be
his fourth White House press secretary mr. Marcantonio said he still got
tongue-in-cheek text from colleagues this is your fault right I mean you can
see very clearly how they're trying to frame her and whatever the truth of that
party in 2015 it is a very calculated play by the New York Times to imply that
Kayleigh is nothing more than a grifter typical left-wing response to women who
do not toe the leftist party line am i right
however they underestimate Kayleigh mcenany at their peril she's only just
taking the reigns of press secretary and she has a big year ahead of her and if
she's anything like me the condescension and determination to undermine her from
those who see her as a threat will only fuel her fire if you liked that video
