| 0:00.0 | Hello friends and welcome to the Bill Press pod. You know, Donald Trump has insulted many reporters, but few of them as harshly as he insulted ABC's Jonathan Carl just last week. At one of his worthless daily coronavirus briefings, Trump lashed |
| 0:24.0 | out of Carl for joining a reporter from Fox News and asking about a report from the Health and Human |
| 0:29.4 | Services Agency that hospitals were complaining about the lack of protective equipment. |
| 0:35.6 | Trump didn't like to question. You're a third-rate reporter, |
| 0:39.6 | he bellowed. You'll never make it. Well, Trump's wrong about that too. As a journalist, |
| 0:46.1 | Jonathan Carls already made it. He's chief White House correspondent for ABC News. He's |
| 0:51.1 | former political reporter for The New York Post and CNN. He's known Trump longer than any other White House reporter, |

| 1:34.8 | It's been a long time. |
| 1:36.3 | We go back almost as long as I go back with Donald Trump. |
| 1:39.4 | But I think I know you a lot better, actually. |
| 1:42.9 | Even after all this time, congratulations, your new book. |
| 1:47.0 | Front Row at the Trump Show. |
| 1:49.4 | Tell us about the first time you met Donald Trump. |
| 1:53.5 | It wasn't when Donald Trump got to the White House. |
| 1:55.5 | You've done him a long time. |
| 1:57.0 | Tell us about the first time and what your first impressions were, Donald Trump. |
