5:24In a memo sent by his official campaign team, Donald Trump is demanding that certain critics of his be banned from ever appearing on cable news programs again because they lack “credibility.” His claim is that these people believed he had committed treason, while the Mueller report allegedly claims that he didn’t. But if Trump wants people with no credibility banned from TV he might want to start with the buffoons in his own administration. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Well, Donald Trump and his cohorts are certainly riding high right now on the fact that they didn't commit treason, allegedly. Now, of course, that is based on William Barr's, four page memo about the Mueller report, which they are still hiding from the American public. So we really don't have a lot to go on, especially considering the fact that this administration has lied about everything. But nonetheless, they're riding high. They think they've been cleared, they think they've been exonerated, and now they're going on the attack. And the first target is the media. Just this morning, Donald Trump was once again out there calling these, uh, media outlets, media personalities, the enemy of the people, a move that in the past has nearly gotten reporters and journalists and media personalities killed. But he doesn't care. In fact, I'm willing to bet he would like to see that. So that's why he uses this kind of language.
Yesterday, Monday, his Trump 2020 campaign team sent out a memo to news outlets asking them to ban critics of the president from coming on their networks ever again. Why Ban these people? Well as the memo said and the subject line, there's a credibility problem with these people. The subject line was credibility of certain guests and it went on to say that a Democrat leaders and others lying to the American people by vigorously and repeatedly claiming there was evidence of collusion, uh, TV producers should not do business with them. Um, and if they do invite these people on, they need to quote, provide the evidence which prompted them to make the wild claims in the first place. There must be introspection from the media who facilitated the reckless statement and a serious evaluation of how guests are considered in handled in the future. Here's the list of people that they don't ever want to see on cable news programs. Again, a house intelligence chairman, Adam Schiff, congressmen Eric Swalwell, former CIA director, John Britton, Senator Richard Blumenthal, representative Jerry Nadler and DNC chair, Tom Perez. Although they did admit that this is not a complete list yet, those are just the people immediately need to be banned. We're going to come up with more people for you to ban later on.
First of all, what the hell happened to the First Amendment, right? I mean, freedom of the press, the press is free from government interference in the government right now. The president is literally telling these networks who they should and should not have on the air. They sent a damn memo about it. They name names.
