Getting any sort of signal from a mic all the way inside a building whilst your outside it is wild.

I am surprised they managed to cancel his personal Hotel reservation.

I guess avoid Hilton hotels. They cancelled a reservation without verifying that they were talking to their client or someone authorized by their client.

If you book a room that is part of a reserved block for a convention, it is not surprising that the organizers have discretion to kick out unregistered people in order to have room for legitimate attendees.

Being a journalist is a legitimate attendee. Especially since so many prominent politicians are attending this conference.

That might make sense. But in the video he (not “they”) never mentions that the room was part of a conference block. But it very well might have been.
