RUSH EXCERPT:JENNINGS: "Well, I‘m happy the president is speaking tonight. We do have serious issues going on in the country. We have a war going on, for goodness sakes. He might say something about that tonight. So there could be a news value to this. I‘ll respectfully disagree with s.E. On the state of journalism. I think journalism has never had more access to the leader of the free world than they have right now. Everybody in that room, as was noted by the press secretary, has his cell phone number. And lo and behold, he answers their calls. He answers their questions in the Oval Office on a daily routine basis. I mean, he answers questions on the tarmac. He answers questions on the south lawn. You couldn‘t pry access like this out of Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush or any other president. And so if you just think of what is the job of journalism, and that is to take us inside the decision making process of the president of the United States. We‘ve never had a more accessible president to get those answers than we have right now. And by the way, he may roast the press and they spend 24 hours a day roasting him, and they need to have a little bit of thick skin and put on their big boy pants and take it."
