directly to the american people with the media present, which, it's an honor to have you this morning because 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 along 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 for 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.
