You all ask questions for a living, but you all listen for a living.
So who am I preaching to?
The choir, that is.

Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre spotted the reporter, Simon Ateba of Today News Africa, and said, No.
Were not doing this.
Were not doing this.
He eventually got quiet and Jean-Pierre said, Are we ready?
Are we going to behave?
Sorry to our guests.
We apologize, said Kelly ODonnell of NBC News.
Ateba remained quiet as Sudeikis spoke, but then began to shout again once they left.
One reporter said to him, The rest of us are here too, pal.
Another reporter said, If you have grievances you should bring them to her later.
I understand there is going to be give and take…
I will always respect that.
And what has just occurred this last 10 or 15 minutes is unacceptable.
The WHCA makes clear that it does not control who can be in the briefing room.
Sudeikis and the cast are the latest celebrities to appear at the Biden-era briefings.
The appearance of the cast at the White House also comes as the show starts its third season.
But I truly believe that we should all do our best to help take care of each other.
Thats my own personal belief.
I think that is something that everybody up here on stage believes in.
That is a big part of the show.
I was hoping for a softball, Sudeikis quipped.
That is what I am worried about.
No, they got the real one here right now, he said.
I need fake teeth and injected with a lot more chutzpah to pull that off.
