DOOCY TIME: "So, the year Joe Biden was sworn in as president promising A more humane immigration systems, it's the same year and all-time record 1.7 million migrants have been detained at the southern border. Is that a coincidence?"
Doocy: "A lot of these migrants are just released w/a notice to appear or a notice to report & something close to 80% don't...Do officials around here consider the fact that could be something attractive to migrants who figure, 'if I could just get in, I could stay?'"
Doocy: "Biden doesn't want to raise taxes on anyone making less than $400,000/yr, but there's a new Fox poll that finds 83% of registered voters are noticing bills for groceries & everyday items increasing, so how is that any different than a new tax?"
Karine acts dumbfounded.
Doocy: Supply chains is all backed up. There are bottlenecks, empty shelves, prices going up, people are paying more...How is that any different than a new tax?

KJP: So, I would say this. You know, we are dealing w/a historic & evolving pandemic that is impacting our economy.
Doocy: "Kevin McCarthy....says, 'we must address the global supply chain before Congress even considers additional social spending and taxation legislation.' Is that something that you would consider?"

Jean-Pierre says the Trump/McCarthy economy put millions out of work w/Covid
Doocy: [A]s you compare holiday seasons...are you saying that if Christmas gifts don't get delivered...b/c the supply chain is backed up, b/c of bottlenecks, that people are going to blame Donald Trump or are they going to blame Joe Biden?

KJP: That's not what I'm saying.

DOOCY TIME (from earlier -- wasn't at my desk when it aired): "Why is the administration flying thousands of migrants from the border to FL & NY in the middle of the night?"

Psaki: "Well I'm not sure that it's in the middle of the night, but let me tell you what's happening[.]"
Doocy: "There's this new proposal by Democrats in Congress and the Treasury secretary to start monitoring every bank account that has $10,000 of cash flow per year. So, is the plan to catch billionaire tax cheats by snooping on accounts that just have $10,000 in ‘em?"
Doocy: "But in the statement that you just cited, it says many top earners avoid paying billions in the taxes that they owned by exploiting the system. So what — why is it that you need to start looking at accounts that just have $10,000 in it? Maybe somebody doesn't get a W-2."

DOOCY TIME: "There are a half million containers floating off the California coast with nowhere to go, major issues in the global supply chain...The Vice President warned that this could happen in August, so why wasn't more done to prepare?"

Psaki insists the WH has prepared...
Doocy: "As we understand it, it's not just Covid. There are also labor shortages and issues with shipping lines here--overground shipping lines in the U.S. Is the President satisfied task force that is doing a good job?"

Psaki: "The president recognizes there are several layers"
Doocy: "The Democratic candidate for governor in Virginia, Terry McAuliffe...says that, 'the President is unpopular today unfortunately here in Virginia, so we've got to plow through.' Why do you think the President is unpopular in Virginia?"

Psaki claims "facts" show otherwise

DOOCY TIME: "There are 15,000 migrants under the Del Rio bridge Saturday. If you add up the ones that you say were expelled or released, it's less than 5,000. Say there's 5,000 that are still left. Where is everybody else?"

Psaki: "I'm happy to get you a more fruitful rundown."
Short clip here, but Doocy masterfully gets Psaki to subtly admit that people placed on the path toward "removal proceedings"....doesn't actually mean anything.
Doocy 🔥🔥: "[M]ost of these people...are being put on either buses from Del Rio to El Paso and Laredo or being flown to Tucson, with no Covid tested -- testing unless they show symptoms. How is that helping anybody stop the spread?"

Psaki: "Again, we have a protocol...."

Yamiche Alcindor of taxpayer-funded PBS demands President Biden use "his bully pulpit...to speak up forcefully" for Haitian illegal immigrants and against the Border Patrol for how they've "treat[ed]" them.
PBS's Yamiche Alcindor: "These are images that are traumatizing Haitian Americans that he promised to treat respectfully & with humanity. Why isn't the President telling people himself these images that people say look like slavery are wrong?"
Alcindor: "Does the President believe anything in this letter that Daniel Foote is saying rings true, has some sort of point that he -- that he believes is -- is true" that the Biden administration has been "inhumane" toward Haitian illegal immigrants?

.@BillFOXLA with a BRUTAL fact-check: “That was an interesting press conference...[Psaki] doesn't believe the migrants down here intend to stay for a long time. That’s news to these folks...They are not traveling from halfway around the world to go on a little camping trip.”
.@BillFOXLA: The WH “made it sound like all these people were going to be sent back to Haiti, don't come here b/c you're not going to get in...That is just not true. Under this administration, catch & release has been happening ever since the Biden administration came in[.]”
.@BillFOXLA: “The bottom line here is...when you're actually on the ground talking with the people dealing with this, talking to the people showing up here, you will understand...The word is out right now that they believe, under this administration, they have a chance to stay.”

DOOCY TIME: "You're telling us that the DHS chief has the most recent numbers about how many of these Haitians....have been sent back and how many have been released into the U.S. The DHS chief is telling us he doesn't know, so who else can we ask?"
Doocy: “Is this an issue of not knowing or is this an issue of a lot more people are being released into the U.S. then are being sent out?”

Psaki: “That is certainly not the issue.”
Doocy: “Just because you keep using Title 42 to defend this administration's immigration policies, that is a Trump-era regulation. You guys came in saying that the Trump-era immigration policy was very inhumane.”

Psaki: "Title 42 is not an immigration policy."
