DOOCY TIME: Biden says BBB won't "add a penny to the deficit. The CBO has this new score where they assume that social programs are going to be made permanent...It would add almost $3 trillion, so does that mean...[he] will commit that [they're] not going to be made permanent?"
Doocy: Is Vice President Harris still in charge of addressing the root causes from migration from El Salvador, Honduras, & Guatemala?
Psaki: She is & I just announced a commitment...this afternoon.
Doocy: So, why hasn't she spoken to the president of Guatemala since June?
Doocy: "Do you think it's possible that big cities are dealing with these smash and grab robberies, an increase in criminal activity b/c some prosecutors are too soft on crime?"
Psaki says she "won't attribute the reasoning from here," but then reiterates it's tied to Covid.
Doocy: "What good does it do if you're going to give police departments extra money if they arrest bad guys & they bring 'em to jail & then they're not prosecuted? They're just right back out on the streets?
Psaki says all the WH can do is give police "the funding they need."
Doocy: "In the last week, we saw...a pick pocket w/more than 30 arrests back out on the street. We've seen an arsonist burned down a half million dollars Christmas tree in New York City back out on the streets. Does the President think that that's good governing?" (5/5)
