For decades, the @whca has advised poolers not to air video of taillights because it’s a potential risk to the security of the motorcade.

The primary White House TV pool is made up of 5 networks: CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, and FOX. We take turns covering POTUS for pooled events and trips, and then share footage with the other 4 plus other outlets. Today there is no tv pool, so Trump won’t have a crew with him at UNGA.

"I believe the American people are unaware of the extent of the damage that American bases are taking in [the Middle East] right now due to the conflict with Iran,” the service member, who was granted anonymity, told me. "These bases have been irreparably damaged. And if we choose to rebuild them, it's going to be a decades long undertaking,” the service member said. “Like, this is not something that's going to be fixed in six months. We're talking about years and years of construction and rebuilding in order to reestablish what's been destroyed."

Q: On the checks, we have $40 trillion in debt. If your economic policies are working, why do you need an incentive for people to turn out to vote? TRUMP: I'm doing it as a reward for people having to put up for five years and four years of a horrible situation caused by Biden

I asked the president why focus on these projects now amid the backdrop of the war in Iran and as gas prices soar. He said the question was “stupid” and a “disgrace to the country” saying he’s “fixing” the reflecting pool.

Reporter: Why focus on all these projects as gas prices are soaring? Trump: Such a stupid question. You can understand dirt better than I can baby but I don’t allow it.

President Trump tells me in a phone call the retaliatory strikes against Iranian targets are just a "love tap." "It's just a love tap." When I asked if it means the ceasefire is over. "No, no, the ceasefire is going. It's in effect."
