DOOCY TIME: "So, first, following up on the physical. If this was a routine physical, why wasn't it on the schedule that you gave us last night? Why the secrecy there?"
Doocy: "Is the President going to stop saying that the Build Back Better plan does not increase the deficit one single cent we now know that's not true."

Pskai: "It is true. And I would note that several economists and experts out there" agree
Doocy: "Biden himself in 2010 called" the CBO "the gold standard for Democrats & Republicans."

Psaki: "Well, Peter, since we're all here to communicate w/the public about accurate information...They still scored it but it's undervalued by the assessment of many economists[.]"
Doocy: "The CBO's projection is that there's at least a $160 billion increase to the deficit over ten years. That is 16 trillion cents, so the president was not telling the truth.

Psaki: "Well, Peter, just to go back to the content facts here..."
Boom!

Psaki: "The last administration tried to say...the CBP was incorrect, you tweeted 'watching Mulvaney try to walk away from a CBO score & explain the budget outline is awkward & uncomfortable to watch.' So what's the difference" b/w one saying no to the CBO vs. the other?

Joy Reid: Dems are the only respectable people b/c they're "the responsible parent telling you to be decent to people who are different from you," "take care of the Earth," "don't threaten to kill people," & "pass things like health care & roads & bridges & food for" the needy.
Joy Reid opens the show with more venom, saying GOPers are "the YOLO parent" who don't want people to have health care & "whose answer to anything and everything is to scream about the border and, 'the scary Brown people are taking over America and meh, and history is mean.'"
Joy Reid: Dems must keep power forever or risk the "drunk, mostly absentee, Nazi-curious, authoritarian" GOP could come back even though every single one of them is a "ridiculous, embarrassing, democracy-hating, Trump-cult authoritarianism, open-racism embracing dangerous" person

DOOCY TIME (from earlier): "Grim milestone this week. More than 100,000 people died of drug overdoses in the last year. Experts say that a lot of that is driven by fentanyl. which is coming across the southern border...Why isn't the administration doing more to stop" them?
Doocy: "American intel agencies have told the President they cannot track Covid's origins without China's help. [He] had a chance to ask for China's help. Why didn't he?"

Psaki: "Well, I would say that [Biden's] push for the Chinese to participate more...We've never held back."
Doocy: "You talked about the importance of transparency, but did he ask President Xi to cooperate specifically with this U.S. Intel-agency led investigation into the origins of covid?"

Psaki: "Peter, clear that's what we we want...I don't have any more to read out for you[.]"

Joy Reid goes FULL Stephanie Ruhle: "So, Republicans want you to believe the economy isn't doing well, that's terrible. But, in reality, unemployment is at its lowest point since the pandemic began. Prices are higher...but Americans are spending a record amount of money"
Joy Reid: A "lack of confidence has translated into a drop in Biden's approval rating...b/c Republicans are seizing on inflation & blaming Joe Biden for it...which is a fun twist after Republicans & Trump maxed out the national credit card on tax cuts for the super rich" & a wall
Citing a Ron Klain tweet that the economy is great and the Build Back Better plan will make it even better, Joy Reid tells Elizabeth Warren that "[t]he economy isn't bad" and then chastises "people" for being "mad because everything is late and things cost more."

If you're not a Democrat, Nicolle Wallace hates you. There's no other way to say it. Add what she said about Fox News and it's safe to say she doesn't view conservatives as human beings.

You cannot make this stuff up -- she has PETER STRZOK on to talk about school board parents. Image
It can't be overstated how dumb this is.

Nicolle Wallace is claiming in this segment that the DOJ isn't "targeting or censoring parents" so long as they're "non-violent" and it's a right-wing conspiracy the DOJ is being sicced on conservatives.
But, wait, there's more!

Another guest of Nicolle Wallace meant to dehumanize non-liberals and treat parents concerned about CRT and pornography in their schools as terrorists?

DOOCY TIME: "Is President Biden considering a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Olympics this winter?"

Psaki declines to comment and refuses to say whether that's a possibility, adding it's unclear whether they will talk about that during their call tonight.
Doocy: "There are a few reports from over the weekend that the Vice President is unhappy. Can she expect the President’s automatic endorsement if she decides to run herself in either 2024 or 2028?"Psaki says the reports "don't reflect his view or our experience" with her
Doocy: So, you guys have not heard that the Vice President or key members of her staff are unhappy?

Psaki: Here’s what I know...[T]he President relies on the Vice President for her advice, for her counsel. She is somebody who is...taking on issues that are challenging"

BOOOM!

Rittenhouse Judge Schroeder RIPS INTO Kenosha prosecutor -- "I was astonished when you began...by commenting on the defendant's post-arrest silence. That's a basic law. It's been basic law in this country for 50 yrs. I have no idea why you would do something like that"
Schroeder: "Why you would think that you can go into it without any advance notice to the court, I don't understand that & as the defense is pointing out, you're an experienced trial lawyer & this should not have been gone into."

Not surprisingly, the prosecutor started flailing
Schroeder: "There's a lot of difference between commenting about something when you haven't got a gun and threatening someone when you do...Don't tell me the defense theory of the case."

Prosecutor melts down, demanding the chance "to make a record w/o anyone interrupting me."
