Exact excerpt

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: What does that mean in practice? Are you taking away their badges or are you banning them from the pool? Are you banning them from the Oval Office? What does that mean? DONALD TRUMP: Well, I still don't know. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: What do you envision the ban for? TRUMP: Politico. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: And media outlets. TRUMP: Oh, the ban on the free press, right? A very simple ban.
