Leave the White House any moment now He'll fly to Belfast Northern Ireland Five-day trip on the the island of the Saw Dana audible groans in the White House however when the press secretary Said the president would not hold a news Conference when he's in Ireland Ridiculous uh then there was this Exchange give it a listen Why is the lack of any interaction in a Formal setting to have a press Conference uh I mean the president takes Shouty questions this is not the norm so I'll say this it is also unprecedented That a president takes as many shouted Questions as this president has and he Has Okay Almost every day I mean look If they ain't buying it No one's buying it Carl how you doing Carl Rove with us now I would think If you go to Ireland today they still Have bars named after Kennedy from his Visit in the 1960s if you're an American President this is the country where you Go to to feel good right whether it was Kennedy whether it was Reagan whether it Was Obama Um If you're going to meet a friendly Audience Ireland's your place Carl Well except the friendly audience would
Be the U.S press Corps which is not all That friendly given how they've been Treated I mean this was the worst Performance since Sean Spicer said that The largest audience the largest crowd In history was present for Donald Trump's inauguration and uh you know This was Dreadful I mean look he's going Abroad he's going to be in Ireland there Are important issues there that one of The to tell you he's going there to Celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Accord that brought peace out to Ireland To the island of Ireland between Northern Ireland and the country of Ireland but there are problems with it And he is meeting with all five parties People would like to know what he's Thinking about it we have a massive leak Of U.S intelligence which has Grave Ramifications for our national security And for the ongoing conflict in Ukraine And people want to find out where the President is on it taking shouted Questions oh come on please you know That ain't the way to conduct the Business of the presidency of the United States and it's strange and there leads Us to wonder why and I think I know why They don't want to put him in that Setting because it would show that he is His age is showing and he's not able to Handle that kind of a kind of a pressure Particularly when he's on a foreign trip
And sort of out of kilter because of the Difference in time zones about five Hours difference between Washington and Then Ireland also okay so just take a Look at this and these won't be a Surprise Number of press preferences that pass Ed point in their presidency he's way Down at 23. everybody else was up 41. Bill Clinton at 92 which is pretty Hilarious anyway but to her point about The that he takes shouted questions like If the White House Press Secretary and The comms team there thinks that that's Effective communication they ought to be On this side and listening in because You can't hear the president especially When he's trying to do it as Marine one Is gearing up to take him to Andrews you Can't understand anything that he's Saying so even if he is taking shouted Questions they're bearing it my second Point is what about a return to Norms I Thought we were going to go return to Normal and the normal thing is when a President goes on a foreign trip or Invites a foreign leader to the White House he takes two questions they take Two questions a piece I don't understand I understand the White House Press Corps Is frustrated but they are not raising The Ruckus that I would expect Yeah no I think you make two excellent Points let me augment the first point we
We don't see a lot of these that a lot Of the shattered questions turn into a Brief paragraph in a print article but They don't turn into live television for Exactly the reasons you talk about and Also because in most instances the President's response needs to be cleaned Up by by the by the White House Press Operation take even the conversation he Had with Al Roker in which he said well I'm planning to run well that's the he Has had so few news conferences and he Has not addressed issues uh so Infrequently he's addressed them so Infrequently that that suddenly that Becomes a bit of news and the White House has to say well Neil that was not A formal Declaration of any kind blah Blah blah blah blah blah so yeah I agree With you he would be better off the Country would be better off by him Having regular news conferences and the Fact that he doesn't have them and that It's not normal for him to do what he's Doing raise his questions as to why and We have to end up with one thing which Is he is surrounded by people who don't Think he's up for or the normal process Of being president and that's Troublesome for them you're saying it's A competency issue Maybe that's it or maybe they're running From something Fox digital just posted a Story an hour ago Hunter Biden's
Business partners and assistants visited The White House more than 80 times while He was vice president that's something Yeah Yeah well he they don't want him to Answer tough questions I mean you know Just think about the current Controversies that's one item but think About what's been dominated in the news The last couple of days the leak of of U.S intelligence reports maybe they're Worried about him handling even things Like that that are that are you know Sort of a moment of Crisis that every President has to deal with uh you know What are they afraid of him having a News conference in in Ireland about it You know he's going to be talking with The five parties trying to to you know Re-energize support for the for the Peace agreement but why aren't we Hearing him do that publicly I think It's because they're worried about what The president might say good and how he Might handle it and how it might impact People it's not right and it's not good Indeed Carl bro thank you good to see You Carl You bet thank you I'm Steve Ducey I'm Brian Kilmeade and I'm Ainsley Earhart And click here to subscribe to the Fox News YouTube page to catch our hottest Interviews and most compelling analysis
