and mark thompson, host of "make it plain." to both of you for being here on an important press story. why did donald trump lose this way, and is this what he wanted? >> he lost because he had no fair procedures for denying acosta press pass. he lost because he was clearly trying to take out his frustration on an individual reporter. he lost because the white house kept shifting its story on why it was doing this from one to the other and the judge was not impressed with their reasoning. >> you said something important, which is the shifting and the lying didn't work on a single judge, who is a fact-finder, which is very different from when it works on some of the media or some of our political discourse. the same tactic. >> yes. a single judge who was a donald trump appointee. that tells us that our system is still working to some degree. because the law and democracy's guardrails are still in place. so, it was a significant moment for freedom of the press. >> take a look, jay, at acosta and trump in one of their exchanges. >>

mark thompson is here, the host of "make it plain" on sirius xm progress channel 127.gfried, a republican strategist. all right, eli, you have been covering the heightened tensions within the white house. walk me through, what is up with these ridiculous voter fraud allegations? >> well, the president is agitated and upset, losing, as one person close to him put it, is really pad for the brand. so he's out there throwing a lot of various skus excuses at the. in that interview, he's making stuff up about people voting illegally. he's also telling "the daily caller," he didn't endorse any house candidates except the one, andy barr, in kentucky for one. that's not true. there's a lot of things that the president would just like to forget about and claim have nothing to do with him, even though for weeks he was on the stage at rallies, telling voters, pretend i'm on the ballot. so he's really rattled by the election results here, and trying to come up with a counternarrative. it's pretty transparent, as far as what's going on. >> all right. you know, i hang lots of notice
