i'm happy to hear you talk about the healthy part of democracy because you and i both know the obama administration has had blemishes when it comes to its record on press freedom. things could be much, much worse. many journalist advocacy groups are very concerned that a president trump is going to clamp down on press freedoms. are you in a position to commit or can the president elect commit to upholding the same levels that president obama administration did with regards to first amendment protections? >> i'm not sure what you mean. first amendment allows people to cover and write whatever they want. i haven't seen even within the obama administration anyone prohibiting somebody from writing something. >> during the campaign, president-elect trump kicked some journalists out of rallies by revoking their press credentials. there's also been concern during the obama administration of prosecutions of journalists to find out their sources. do you expect things to be worse
