ウィスパリング同時通訳研究会コミュの2022 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner

President Clinton: (00:05) I know there was some talk about not coming this year, and I admit the thought did crosmy mind.
Laura Bush: (00:16) George always says he’s delighted to come to these press dinners. Baloney.
Speaker 1: (00:24) It is great to be here at the Washington Hilton. It’s Something a prostitute might say to a Congressman.
Speaker 2: (00:33) Isn’t that what the confirmation process is all about here in Washington? Weeding out the truly qualified to get to the truly available.
Speaker 3: (00:41) Well, here in one room, we have members of the media, politicians, corporate executives, advertisers, lobbyists and celebrities. Everything that is wrong with America is here in this room tonight.
President Obama: (00:54)With that, I just have two more words to say, Obama out.
Speaker 4: (01:04)We’re back from Washington. It’s the White House Correspondents’ dinner with special appearances by Gail King, Cecilia Vega, Yamiche Alcindor, the President of the United States, and tonight’s headliner, Trevor Noah.
Speaker 4: (01:22)But first from the White House, the host of the Late Late show, James Corden.
James Corden : (01:30) Hello, members of the White House Press Corps. I’m a British talk show host who lives in Los Angeles. So who better than I to come down here to the White House and see if I can get a job?
President Biden: (01:46) Come in.

James Corden : (01:47) Mr. President.
President Biden: (01:48)Well, how are you?
James Corden : (01:49)
I’m very well. So good to see you. Now, listen, I’m here at the White House today and I really want to be of service. And I’m wondering if you think there’s any department here at the White House that could use my help?
President Biden: (02:01) I certainly do. The pressroom. You should go be with the press.
James Corden : (02:07) You want me to be the face-
President Biden: (02:09) Absolutely.
James Corden : (02:09)… of the party who tells the truth to America? I hear you loud and clear.
President Biden: (02:13) All right.

James Corden : (02:13) I’ll be right back.
President Biden: (02:14) Lots of luck.
James Corden : (02:15) Where would I find that office?
President Biden: (02:17) Left, right, left, and don’t come back.
James Corden : (02:22) Messaged received. (02:27) Sorry I’m looking for Jen, Jen Psaki. Jen?
Jen Psaki: (02:32)Hi.
James Corden : (02:33) Hi. How are you?
Jen Psaki: (02:34) I’m good. How are you?
James Corden : (02:34) How nice to see you? Are you well?
Jen Psaki: (02:36) I’m good. What are you doing here?
James Corden : (02:38) We figured people in the White House work long hours and maybe I take over the press briefing thing?
Jen Psaki: (02:45) I mean-
James Corden : (02:45) That sound like a good idea?
Jen Psaki: (02:45)… that sounds really good.
James Corden : (02:48)Really?
Jen Psaki: (02:48)Are you ready?
James Corden : (02:49)My hunch is this whole thing is just a walk in the park.
Jen Psaki: (02:52)Maybe I can write you some notes: War with Russia:-
James Corden : (02:55)Well,-
Jen Psaki: (02:56)… Bad.
James Corden : (02:56)Keep it light, Jen.
Jen Psaki: (02:58)CDC: Good. Okay?
James Corden : (03:00)Really? They’ve been pissing me off.
Jen Psaki: (03:02)Economy: Strong.
James Corden : (03:05)Is it?
Jen Psaki: (03:05) Iran: Diplomacy good.
James Corden : (03:07)Diplomacy good?
Jen Psaki: (03:08)Yeah.
James Corden : (03:08)What if I get asked about Kim and Pete?
Jen Psaki: (03:12)We love love around here. So I think that’s a safe place to be.
James Corden : (03:15)Has he watched the new Kardashians on Hulu?
Jen Psaki: (03:18)I don’t think he’s had a ton of times to see that.
James Corden : (03:20)He’s not seen it?
Jen Psaki: (03:20)No,-
James Corden : (03:20)He’s not seen it.
Jen Psaki: (03:21)… he’s probably not seen it.
James Corden : (03:22)That’s a problem.
Jen Psaki: (03:23)So last thing: Is that what you’re going to wear?
James Corden : (03:29)Yeah.
Jen Psaki: (03:30)It’s a little bit more brunch than press briefing, to me.
James Corden : (03:33)All right. You want me to change, I’ll change. But let me tell you this: Everybody loves brunch.
James Corden : (03:47)Okay. All right. I’m ready.
Jen Psaki: (03:48)You ready?
James Corden : (03:48)Is this good?
Jen Psaki: (03:48)This looks great.
James Corden : (03:49)Is this is a good look? Is this right?
Speaker 5: (03:50)Yeah, no. I think it’s good. I think it’s good.
James Corden : (03:51)All right. Do you have a quick little pre-show prayer?
Jen Psaki: (03:53)Yeah. Oh.
James Corden : (03:54)C.J. Cregg, if you’re watching down on us, give us the strength to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, unless we need to lie.
Jen Psaki: (04:09)Oh.
James Corden : (04:09)Okay? (04:12)Good morning, everybody.
Speaker 6: (04:14)Good morning.
James Corden : (04:14)How are you? Nice to see you. Jen’s taking a well earned break. So anyone got any questions?
Speaker 6: (04:21)[crosstalk 00:04:21].
James Corden : (04:21)Okay. Yes.
Speaker 7: (04:23)Thanks, James. What does the President plan to do to prevent a recession?
James Corden : (04:27)I don’t really want to speak for the President on that one. I don’t think it’s my place to speak for him on those issues. So-
Speaker 7: (04:33)Isn’t that, literally, your job?
James Corden : (04:37)Next? Who else? (04:38)Yes.
Speaker 8: (04:38)Why does this president spend every weekend away from the White House?
James Corden : (04:42)Have you spent time here?
Speaker 8: (04:43)Yeah.
James Corden : (04:43)Geez, of course. Wouldn’t you want to get away? Come on. What’s the point of having a Camp David if you can’t pop down there every once in a while?
Speaker 8: (04:50)But he goes to Delaware.
James Corden : (04:53)And what is Delaware?
Jenny: (04:54)The President has used the strategic petroleum reserve. Is he watching gas prices and will he tap the [inaudible 00:05:01] again?
James Corden : (05:01)I don’t think it’s for me or you, Jenny, to talk about who or what the President is tapping, okay?
James Corden : (05:13)Yes, you sir, with the face.
Speaker 9: (05:15)When the President says one thing and White House staff say something else, who are we supposed to listen to? The President or White House staff?
James Corden : (05:23)Well, you know what, David?
Speaker 9: (05:24)That’s not my name.
James Corden : (05:27)You say your name’s not David. I say your name is David and I’m stood up here and you’re sat down there, unless you want to be sat at the back with whoever they are. (05:36)Yes.
Speaker 10: (05:37)Could you give us an update on the [inaudible 00:05:39] Agreement?
James Corden : (05:39)Could you sing the question?
Speaker 10: (05:42)I could, but I-
James Corden : (05:42)Sing the question. I’d like to hear you sing the question.
Speaker 10: (05:45)Could you give us an update on the [inaudible 00:05:48] Agreement?
James Corden : (05:48)No, I can’t. (05:51)Next.
Jeff Mason: (05:52)James, can you tell us what is the President’s plan for deficit reduction?
James Corden : (05:56)Okay. Before we start, can you explain the sock choice in here?
Jeff Mason: (06:00)I mean, [crosstalk 00:06:02].
James Corden : (06:01)Okay. Anyone else? Anyone else?
Jeff Mason: (06:03)Could you answer my question.
Speaker 6: (06:05)[crosstalk 00:06:05].
James Corden : (06:05)[crosstalk 00:06:05]. It’s okay.
Speaker 6: (06:09)[crosstalk 00:06:09].
James Corden : (06:09)Do you know what?
Jeff Mason: (06:09)Deficit reduction?
James Corden : (06:10)Do you know what? Deficit … They warned me about you.
Jeff Mason: (06:11)Deficit reduction.
James Corden : (06:12)They warned me about you. What’s your name?
Jeff Mason: (06:14)Uh-huh (affirmative). Jeff Mason.
James Corden : (06:15)Jeff.
Jeff Mason: (06:15)Deficit reduction.
James Corden : (06:16)You’re right. Jeff’s a whiny little bitch.
Jen Psaki: (06:18)Okay. Okay. James,-
James Corden : (06:21)How are you?
Jen Psaki: (06:21)… thank you.
James Corden : (06:22)Yes, good.
Jen Psaki: (06:23)James, I’m sorry. This is just not for you. You’ve got to go.
James Corden : (06:26)Well, in that case, I will hand you over to your host for the evening. Please welcome the President of the WHCA, Steven Portnoy.
Steven Portnoy: (06:36)Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you, James Corden. Thank you Ben Winston. Thank you and welcome to the country’s biggest annual celebration of the first amendment of journalism scholarship and self-effacing humor. And we are grateful for the vaccines, the therapies, the tests that make it possible for us to be here together tonight.
Steven Portnoy: (06:57)And we are pleased to have the President in attendance here with us. (07:06)
With stories of tradition of this dinner that dates back to Calvin Coolidge in 1924, now, here’s a picture of our 1923 dinner. Sir, I believe you were still in the Newcastle County Council at the time. But what I’m about to tell you is real. We looked this up. Not a joke.
(07:25)
Will the folks at table 82 please identify themselves. Table 82. You’re out there somewhere. There you are. See, that’s where you sat Mr. President the first time you attended this dinner in this hotel ballroom in 1974. You were a guest that night of the Philadelphia Bulletin evening newspaper. That’s right. Table 82. Yes. Now, tonight you don’t look a day over table 79.
(07:54)
Now, the theme that night 48 years ago in the midst of Watergate was High Times and Misdemeanors and the entertainer was Roy Clark, the host of Hee Haw. So we understand why you might have had some pause about coming back. But we are grateful you’re here with us tonight, sir.
(08:09)
There hasn’t always been comedy in the history of this dinner. In 1941, Franklin Roosevelt used his speech at this dinner to deliver a serious address promoting land lease. And 70 years after that, Barack Obama dove from this room into the sit room with you, sir, to watch the US take out Bin Laden.
(08:26)
But it has been said that the more pivotal moments that night in 2011 occurred in this room at this podium and at that table right down there. So will the folks at that table please raise your right and solemnly swear no matter what jokes might be made about you tonight, you’ll just laugh, please.
(08:48)
As has been written, there are more than 2,600 people in this room tonight vaccinated and tested today. All of you. Now, most of you are not White House Correspondents, but rather are spouses, sources, bosses, sponsors or are just very wealthy. I want that noted for the record. I hereby disclaim all the laughter and applause in advance on behalf of the WHCA. (09:11)
But a special word of thanks to our members for their service to the profession and to the free people of the world. I’ll have much more to say about that later.
(09:22)
And we do have some serious business to get to tonight, along with some comedy. Up first to present our WHCA Awards, please welcome ABC News’ Chief White House correspondent, Cecilia Vega.

Cecelia Vega: (09:44)Good evening everybody. Thank you, Steven. Thank you to the board for putting this all together and getting us all in the same room. It’s wonderful to see everybody: Mr. President, Dr. Biden, Trevor Noah, Jen, thank you all for being here tonight.
(09:55)
The bylaws of our association say that the promotion of excellence in journalism is core to the WHCA’s mission. Each year a panel of independent judges reviews dozens of entries for the five major WHCA Awards. Tonight it is my honor to announce the winners:

Cecelia Vega: (10:14)
The Aldo Beckman award for overall excellence in White House coverage is named for a former Association President, the late Chicago Tribune Correspondent, Aldo Beckman. This year, that award goes to Jonathan Swan of Axios. The judges said, “Jonathan’s riveting series Off the Rails and it’s accompanying podcast described the final days of Donald Trump’s presidency with speed and detail laying out the former president’s last ditch efforts to overturn the election.” (10:53) All right.

Jonathan Swan: (10:54)This series is my best attempt to reconstruct Trump’s final days while sources, memories are still fresh and people are willing to talk.
Cecelia Vega: (11:08)Ladies and gentlemen, the WHCA is extremely pleased to give the Aldo Beckman award to Jonathan Swan.(11:29)
The WHCA gives out two awards for reporting under deadline pressure. One for print, another for broadcast. This year’s print winners are Zeke Miller and Mike Balsamo of the Associated Press. The judges said, “The pair drew on their sources to get the scoop about the administration’s changing mass guidance, work that resulted in tight informative news stories throughout the day.” (11:58)
Everybody please welcome the winners of the Deadline Award for Print, Zeke Miller and Mike Balsamo.
Speaker 11: (12:04)Thank you, sir.
President Biden: (12:14)Congratulations.
Speaker 12: (12:14)Thank you very much, sir.
Cecelia Vega: (12:23)
This one hits close to home. The Broadcast Award. It goes to my dear friend and my colleague, Jonathan Karl of ABC News. This is for his work on January 6th. The judges said, “As the riot was still ongoing, John and his team delivered reporting that was ahead of the curve, a detailed narrative that doesn’t hit one false note, even with a year’s perspective.”
Jonathan Karl: (12:54)
Chaos and lawlessness striking at the heart of American democracy. Breaking out after the President of the United States urged an angry mob of his own supporters to confront members of Congress and even his own Vice President who were preparing to certify the election.
Cecelia Vega: (13:12)The WHCA is pleased to honor the deadline reporting of ABC’s, my friend, Jon Karl.
Jonathan Karl: (13:18)[inaudible 00:13:18]. Thank you.
President Biden: (13:33)[inaudible 00:13:33].
Jonathan Karl: (13:37)
Because the microphone’s blank, I just want to say here, there was a whole team at ABC News that made this possible. Thank you for all of them. And, if I may, I also want to say there was a lot of other … There was great reporting on January 6th, reporting that showed that this was not just a riot. It wasn’t just an attack on the Capitol. It was an assault on American democracy. Thank you. Thank you.
Cecelia Vega: (14:01)That’s why we love him.(14:11)
This is a relatively new award, the next one, for Visual Journalism. It goes to Brendan Smialowski of AFP. You can see it right here. The judges said, “This photo of President Biden’s sit down with Vladimir Putin in Geneva captured the underlying drama of the summit. Look closely,” the judges wrote. “The body language and each game face tell the story.”
(14:41)Please join me in congratulating AFP photographer, Brendan Smialowski.
President Biden: (15:01)[inaudible 00:15:01].
Brendan Smialowski : (15:01)[inaudible 00:15:01].
Cecelia Vega: (15:06)The WHCA partners with the University of Florida to present the Collier Prize for State Government Accountability. This year’s winners are the Miami Herald and ProPublica for their series Birth and Betrayal, exposing the failures of a Florida program that compensates parents when their babies suffer brain damage during delivery.
Speaker 13: (15:26)I didn’t throw her away in an institution. I didn’t throw her way like she was garbage like they wanted me to do. I kept her and she lived 27 years because of that. Wasn’t because of anybody else.
Cecelia Vega: (15:40)Accepting the Collier Prize, please welcome Carol Marbin Miller of the Miami Herald.
Carol Marbin Miller: (15:45)Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you so much.
President Biden: (15:55)Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Cecelia Vega: (16:03)And now a name we all know: the Katherine Graham Award for Courage and Accountability. The award named in honor of the legendary Washington Post publisher goes this year to the newspaper she helmed, as well as the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and Media Partners around the world. This team of more than 600 journalists in 151 countries exposed the secrets of the Pandora Papers.

Speaker 14: (16:29)Pandora Papers show how the ultra rich and powerful move their money around the globe. It is the largest collaboration of journalists ever organized by the ICIJ.
Speaker 15: (16:39)We have emails, passport copies, bank statements that show how presidents, kings, princesses, billionaires and criminals hide and move money.
Cecelia Vega: (16:50)Please welcome the winners of the Katherine Graham Award from the ICIJ and the Washington Post.
President Biden: (16:56)[inaudible 00:16:56].
Speaker 16: (16:56)Thank you so much.
President Biden: (17:12)[inaudible 00:17:12].
Cecelia Vega: (17:13)Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much.
Speaker 4: (17:20)And now, with a special presentation, a correspondent of a different sort: Billy on the Street himself, Billy Eichner.
Bill Eichner: (17:34)
Good evening. I’m Billy Eichner. For years, the White House Correspondents’ dinner has honored our bravest reporters and journalists, but for far too long, I think the Correspondents’ dinner has been ignoring the most important journalists of all: Entertainment journalists. We can all agree that it is more important than ever to be entertained, but without entertainment journalists, how would we even know who’s entertaining us? (17:57)
I have a movie coming out in September called Bros. The first gay rom com ever made by a major studio and I’ll be depending on entertainment journalists to spread the word.
(18:07)Tonight, the WHCD honors them for the first time. Here are your honorees: For her fearless work in reporting that Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde, “Couldn’t be happier,” we present the WHCD award for relationship news to entertainment correspondent, Naz Perez.
(18:27)For his courageous work interviewing the Jonas brothers, while they filmed a new commercial for Tostitos, we present the WHCD freedom of the press junket award to E-News Daily Pops, Justin Sylvester.(18:40)
And, finally, for his galvanizing, no holds barred look at what’s been happening on The Bachelor, we present the WHCD award for telling us what’s been happening on The Bachelor, to Today Show contributor, Jason Kennedy. (18:57)
Congrats to all and may God bless entertainment. Thank you.
