ok, karine jean-pierre at the white house has just begun taking questions.ad to the white house. >> when it comes to the issues and he's been a champion status quo in many ways, we need him to be a champion of a new vision for america. >> so look, the president is very much looking forward to meeting with congressional, the members of the congressional black caucus, and to have a conversation, a real conversation about how to move forward on police reform and other shared policies as i mentioned moments ago. look, these are members the president has had a long standing relationship with, as you all know, and it's -- it is a collaboration that we see this conversation becoming, a collaboration again on dealing with an issue that is truly affecting the black community and also the brown community as well, and you know, to your -- to the statement that you just laid out from a congressional black caucus member, i would say this, you know, and i said this at the top, when the senate republicans blocked and would not move forward with the george floyd policing ac

karine jean-pierre is set to take questions from reporters. to what extent to bring it to this moment, what extent do you believe the white house will bring any transparency, any answers on this revelation? >> well, i mean, 0. we have seen the complete lack of transparency from this white house from the get-go, despite the promises of joe biden, and particularly when it comes to his classified documents. karine jean-pierre will always defer to, you know, the lawyers or the doj or anybody else but herself. she has her very basic talking points. we'll get nothing out of the white house but it must be a headache behind the scenes for the people in biden's team to have hunter biden out there freelancing with oodles of cash he seems to have to pay expensive lawyers and file frivolous lawsuits, or lawsuits, but frivolous letters. >> sandra: if you could stay with us, karine jean-pierre is taking the first question. we'll dip in and get back to you. >> heard it from the speaker himself, a continuing conversation and there are real discussions to cont

a question for karine jean-pierre. >> harris: or did he know and that is part of the timeline that itbe in the speech and likely a lot of people knew about it but we just didn't know about it. >> bill: i think these pictures are amazing. the u.s. navy put them out. they were taken before sundown off the coast of myrtle beach. they got a good chunk of it at least what is that a plastic covering of the helium? what is that? >> harris: bryan llenas on the "the faulkner focus" so they could be out there for weeks. >> bill: looking for it, whatever that metal device is in the bottom. >> harris: third surveillance material? >> bill: their surveillance come i guess -- that's right. rochon is a democrat and comes on the show a lot. he's a good guy and works hard, no crack on him. but here he was with dana and i earlier and we chose the certain time to take the balloon out after covered 49 states. >> harris: he is right! >> bill: a welcome okay, yes but why did you make that time of choosing and the aleutian islands and alaska? probably because they did not think we would find out about it is

what do you say to karine jean-pierre who answers edward lawrence with it's the republicans' fault?every day maria i watch her do briefings i have admiration that she's willing to stand out and talk to people who know a lot more than what she's talking than she does and still go to work. all of that said, economics 101, that's what we are talking. basic economics and to call that inflation reduction act knowing full well that what it did is fuel inflation but her talking points -- good on ed to ask the question. maria: i spoke with your colleague joe manchin on sunday and he continues to say that the inflation reduction act is reducing inflation and that it's a security and oil security bill and it's not a green agenda bill. what do you say? >> well, it's exactly a green agenda bill. there's nothing in for oil. nothing in there that would help oil. the reason oil right now is so high priced, of course, is because the administration and this president specifically has -- has made it more difficult to drill. we should be at 15 million barrels per day in the united states of america. w

we will listen to john kirby and karine jean-pierre. >> john: the big question, will it happen or in martha's show? >> sandra: is the market heading for a 2008 style crash. many are asking the question. americans saw the housing market value drop trillions in this country. brand-new numbers showing sales may by ticking up. what do you need to know about probably your biggest asset you will ever know? our big money panel is here to take that on next. >> john: and waiting to hear from the lab leak theory. u.s. department of energy has said it's the best bet where it came from. why was the mainstream media so quick to shoot it down and why did big tech censor people who suggested that? jonathan turley is coming up. >> the lab leak as it were, it's a chinese lab, the lab is in china, it's clear now that the chinese regime should be held accountable for the leak itself. the lapse in bio security and for the cover-up afterwards. ? pay off your high-payment car loan with an affordable home loan from newday and save hundreds every month. there are no upfront fees to apply. i brought in ensur

karine jean-pierre says the biden cabinet is majority people of color and majority female for the first time in the history. tax the rich back back with a vengeance. senator bernie sanders wants a huge increase in the social security tax. there's also a lot of talk about a wealth tack. watch out. bernie is the chair of the senate budget committee. he wants these tax hikes in the president's budget that arrives next month. >>> february the 21st -- 24th, and it's friday, by the way, 2023. "varney & company" is about to begin. ♪ ♪ stuart: oh, something a little different today. we usually bring you shots at the top of the show of new york or someplace. today we're looking at hollywood from yesterday where it snowed. you can actually see the snow on the ground. how about that? that's hollywood. part of los angeles. it snowed, for heaven sakes. what do you think of that? susan: rare. odd. unexpected. >> i lived there for 12 years, not once did i have to deal with snow, stu. stuart: first time in decades, i think. all right, everyone, it took 20 days, but pete buttigieg finally visits east pa

joining me now from the white house is press secretary karine jean-pierre. it's so good to see you, my friend. >> hey, joy. >> and look at us in the color matching. i love that. >> i was thinking about that. i was thinking about that while you were doing the intro. >> you and i have talked about this before in previous programs and even on this show. joe biden, part of bidening is his eternal optimism. i have asked him this question in the past and been very skeptical about the idea of his seemingly firm belief he can find a way to work with the other side. this other side, though, we're literally going to be in the same room where insurrectionists attempted to overturn the election, and where some of the people that are going to be sitting in that chamber voted after they ran for their lives to overturn his election. what is the basis for this optimistic line or is this good politics but he understands that it's not possible? >> so here's the thing, joy. i think if you know joe biden, if you know this president, and you followed him throughout his career, 3

i feel for karine jean-pierre in those moments because while she's taking those slings and arrows on camera the white house counsel is not giving her all the information, they want to stay silent beside their time and hope this blows over. maybe ironically the next issue they're not addressing the balloon bumps this out of the news cycle. >> trace: amazing because you have this cycle now where karine jean-pierre says you have to go to white house counsel, go to the doj who sends you back to the white house. a revolving door, phil wegmann great to have you on thank you sir. >> thank you. >> trace: dramatic new video out of texas shows the moment two boys ages 15 and 12 were involved in a crash as the 15 year old driver tried to avoid police while smuggling an illegal immigrant. authorities said the immigrant suffered incapacitating injuries but all survived the crash. the vehicle was stolen outside san antonio. the 15 year old has been charged >> two gang members suspectedd in the execution-style killing of six people in central california last month, including a teen mother and her 1

you are jumping in here in the middle of two big news events that's happening, obviously karine jean-pierre briefing at the white house, not a lot of clarity on a lot of issues the white house has not gotten out in front of. waiting the epa, three events, epa update on the ground in ohio, president on the unidentified objects, those shot down top of the hour. you go to this story now, the document story and sort of taking a back burner to what's going on, especially since the unidentified objects. but the messaging from this white house, just take the documents scandal, for instance, and how many times karine jean-pierre had to walk back things she told the american public that ended up to not be the case. so, what exactly is going on here with the messaging from the white house? >> she has a really, really hard job. i was listening in. if your job is to convince the american people that joe biden is serious about the deficit, you have a really, really hard job. i mean, you could have clarence darrow and f. lee bailey and they could not convince the jury of that. the media does not press as

karine jean-pierre said this disaster is a top priority for this administration. top priority?the money, they need help. they don't have disposable income, they can't afford to rent a hotel, they can't afford to lose a paycheck. these people are struggling but a train disaster, help them out, they are americans. this administration wants to help everybody who isn't an american. when americans are in need they are nowhere to be found. pete buttigieg sent a tweet, show up, 90% of every job is just show up, go see people, look at this crash site with your own eyes. they make decisions from there but show people you care, show that you care by showing up, give a speech, don't tweet about it, speech about it, talk about it but they don't give a damn. stuart: performance is lacking in several respects. president biden snapped at reporters after they asked about his family's business ties to china. >> are you compromise by your family's business? >> president biden: give me a break. >> is there an overreaction? >> president biden: we have more people. stuart: he complains about the po

. >> white house press secretary karine jean-pierre dodging questions about previous assertions thatho believed the lab leak theory are conspiracy theorists, watch. >> there was not so long ago a point where anyone asking a question whether a lab leak was a credible theory, which should be looked into, you know, a lot of those people were derided as fringe, you know, conspiracy theorists. so, are there lessons learned, you know, looking back about how we discuss theories when we don't have all of the answers? >> the president's commitment to getting to the bottom of this, right? that is what's the most important so that we can, you know, we can share this with congress, we can share this with the american people. and right now there is no consensus. >> and a new cnn report is once again down playing the lab leak theory as a minority view within the u.s. intelligence community. dr. anthony fauci also speaking out yesterday saying he sees no evidence of a lab leak. >> we must all keep an open mind as to all possibilities. the data that evolutionary virology justs have submitted and pub

or otherwise we're in dire straights, the american people need to be told, for karine jean-pierre and the rest mocking and saying don't worry about are no ufo's, what do they expects? they are going to be in a vacuum they are creating of information, there will be nonsense filling in no one thinks these are aliens flying around, they know it is the chinese. kennedy: i think it could be could be able yens. -- a alien. i don't think that careen karine jean-pierre is a great messenger, she does tend to blame members of the press we don't have remnants of three other objects they shot out of the sky, we don't know when they are, we should know what they are. information is powerful and the fact that we're able to debate it in this country is really wonderful thing, your thoughts, dear. >> i agree it is important to debate these issues, there are more questions than answers, it seems that last three objects are different from the communist chinese balloon that was shot out of sky last week. or within the last 10 days, i think that it was intentional in terms of shooting it down over open w

i mean, karine jean-pierre with all respect went on another network this weekend and her answers were new information to impart. partially because she was just struggling to form sentences. but i think it's worthwhile for the american people to hear directly from the commander-in-chief about what precisely is happening. the concern is, he doesn't know precisely what is happening yet. we collectively don't know what is happening yet. when they get information we should hear from him. before that, it would just be an exercise in box-checking and we would all be saying what was the point of that? >> bret: we are looking at images, susan, of the recovery of the first spy craft. the balloon and the analysis by that julie woodruff and telemundo. the president seemed to blow it off as far as its significance. you talk to intel officials and they say this is significant that china is this bold. >> it's pretty brazen. i mean, it's not exactly a surprise that china spies on us and we also spy on china but for them to float a balloon over the sensitive military bases is pretty extraordinary. and

. >> press secretary karine jean-pierre has no answer when asked about the public and with the publicar from the president on this. watch. >> the president is taking this very seriously but we want to make sure american people understand there is no need to panic. >> i have an announcement or anything to preview on a potential remark by the president. what were trying to do is provide as much information as we can. maria: meeting no information senators received a classified briefing yesterday saying they left with more questions than answers. a new report finds a chinese spy flight was tracked by the u.s. census liftoff and watched it for nearly a week joining us with the hot topics all morning long as the wall street journal editorial page editor fox news contributor james freeman poster partners is here leak carter and smb seat economist america first policy senior fellow and former chief economist for the white house national economic council jola warn you. great to see you, thank you for being here. this is extraordinary i don't know how you see it but no comment about three unid

the white house briefing, karine jean-pierre is expected to take some pretty tough questions.xpected as the fbi searched the president's rehobeth beach home in delaware. we'll be watching that to begin. >> john: president biden killed the keystone pipeline but a new drilling project in alaska may be on the way. it has plenty of bipartisan support. will climate change activists derail the whole thing? alaskan senator dan sullivan is here to tell us why the project is critical. >> we have an administration so tied to this radical environmental left that they're willing to drive your cost literally through the roof. no matter your purpose, at pnc private bank we will work with you every step of the way to help you achieve it. so let us focus on the how. just tell us - what's your why? type 2 diabetes? discover the ozempic® tri-zone. in my ozempic® tri-zone, i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in ad

as more information comes out it seems every other day we are more questions than answers, karine jean-pierreked about the transparency of the white house but i think it's anything but transparent that's where the concerns come from the american voters. we see the hypocrisy, we saw a very different channel of events when it came to classified documents that were found at mar-a-lago. we have our questions and answers. every single day we get new information about the biden documents. maria: this is what's going on with merrick garland he was already to indict donald trump right in the middle of his run for the presidency in 2024. now he has to do backtracking. when you in on what trump did what biden did it seems biden's malfeasance with the documents is much worse. >> donald trump had the documents at a location where the secret service was guarding the location. joe biden's case a corvette was guarding. there's mar-a-lago and kara lago and i'll take mar-a-lago which was more secure. >> hunter biden had access to exposing that and he was at the president these are documents from the senate ti

as we await the white house press briefing we know john kirby will speak as well as karine jean pierre, and china responding to a department of energy report accusing the u.s. of a smear campaign. how should the white house respond a few moments from now. >> that's completely ridiculous. lab leak, as it were, it's a chinese lab, the lab is in china, it's clear now that the chinese regime should be held accountable for the leak itself, the biosecurity and the cover-up which continues to this day. group think, that's the point, is the cover-up that's happened here in america and still going on as you saw from jake sullivan because the question is, not just whether it leaked from the lab, but what it was that leaked and that points back here to america and specifically to dr. anthony fauci, and the reason that no one wants to really tell the truth about this, we laid it all out over two years ago on fox and on my show, is that anthony fauci, a lot of people say how could he possibly be behind this, he's the hero of the pandemic, how could he be the cause of the pandemic. the reason is, th

karine jean-pierre said she expects him to address this.idn't, that would be a huge headline, right, karl? >> yeah, absolutely. there's not a lot of good that he can do except to reiterate that he ordered it to be shot down. ordinary people say why didn't we shoot it down over alaska, canada. there's fewer people in alaska than in the city of austin, texas and the state of alaska is bigger than the state of texas. we couldn't we have shot it down there or over international waters or over the thinly populated northern canada. the administration is never going to have a satisfactory answer to people asking that question. >> martha: there's questions that go along that chain. what was the communication between the white house and the governor of alaska, for example? what was the communication between the white house and justin trudeau while it was over canada? the dynamic that changes everything is when this photographer, who used to work for a billings newspaper takes a picture of it out of the sky and notifies the department of defense. so

we are told karine jean-pierre is getting pounded by questions, and refuses to answer many of them. > that won't happen and after so he's going to reach out. we're all going to reach out to those very members, those congressional members in congress and see how -- what's the next step that we can take. again, the democrats have the votes to get in done, to meet us at the table and get in done. >> the timeline in terms of the interagency group could have -- agreeing on protocols, have a better idea on protocols, what is it exactly and will those be public or presented? >> you'll hear from us when those protocols are completed or we'll lay those out. >> sandra: as expected, shows facing tough questions. not getting a lot of answers, john. we'll continue to monitor the press briefing. >> john: one of the things that she was being asked, when is the president going to talk about this. she didn't have a timetable for that. she basically said don't panic. >> sandra: got it. >> john: see where it goes. >> sandra: we'll try not to. a lot going on. thanks for joining us. i'm sandra smith. >> j

press secretary karine jean-pierre is blaming the gop, though, for the crash.out how now they're interested, all of a sudden they are interested in the safety of east palestine. when they have for years have been in lock step with the retail lobby. maria: more politicking on people's upset. joe pinion, your thoughts? >> the retail lobby, that's interesting. but look, i said don't take our word for it, take a the mayor of palestine's word for it who in a moment of honesty and frustration cited his concern for the fact that the president of the united states saw it more pertinent than flying 90 minutes from d.c. to check on the american citizens left behind with poll lieutenant -- polluted grounds and all manner of chaos and confusion. listen to the people. that's what pete doesn't understand, that's what the president doesn't understand. maria: it's ridiculous to blame the republicans for the train derailment. i want to know specifically how this happened, cheryl. the ntsb chairwoman is saying this disaster the was 100% avoidable. the ntsb released their prelimi

white house secretary karine jean-pierre outlined part of the plan monday. >> the need for childcareto boost our workforce is undeniable. part of the solution to that is the commerce department is going to require companies seeking substantialhips funding to submit a robust childcare plan that reflects the needs of their workers, communities where they plan to build. amy: advocates for student debt relief are rallying outside the supreme court today as justices hear arguments in a case that could determine whether the biden administration can proceed with a plan to eliminate up to $20,000 in federal student loan debt for many borrowers. president biden announced the plan in august but it has been held up over legal challenges. in other supreme court news, justices agreed monday to hear a case that could decide the fate of the consumer financial protection bureau, which was created by president obama after the financial crisis. rupert murdoch, the owner of fox news, has admitted under oath that many hosts on his network "endorsed" donald trump's false claims about the 2020 election. m

. >> john: we were expecting karine jean-pierre was going to take some questions but she has to meet with the president, so john kirby is going to be it. and sandra, other than the reason that kirby said no reason to suspect the latest objects were engaged in surveillance but did not hear a lot of news in the 40 odd minutes. >> sandra: just that is an active program china has, provided limited intelligence to china but have indeed established a high altitude balloon program for intelligence collection, and his warning after making that clear, john, if china advances that technology, it could become more valuable to them. >> john: he said there were dozens of balloons in many, many different countries. retired lieutenant general keith kellogg, former security adviser to vice president mike pence and fox news contributor. you sat through the briefing with us. kirby did it in the name of transparency. i don't know if he gave us everything that he knows, didn't seem to give us much. >> yeah, john, and if i look -- i was taking notes when doing it, let's give credit to john kirby. he's go

. >> sean, the thinking here is it probably wasn't the best idea for karine jean-pierre to enroll in kamala harris communication. this is the worst press secretary of our lifetime. not just a presidential level but anywhere. base the on the clip you played and the press briefings every day. the inability to answer a question with anything that's outside of ambiguity, right. it's so frustrating. i'm sure for many reporters in the room who are saorious about their jobs. let's add it up. who do we have running the country? an eighty-year-old president who can not answer questions. the commander of chief of our country is mia. meanwhile we have a transportation secretary who complains about this country having too many white construction workers. he can't be bothered to visit ohio where there was a toxic train derailment, it happened eleven days ago. the residents are asking where is the true force of the federal government? now we have home land security who says the border is secure as, you know, alec baldwin. in other words the president is seen as too old and too incompetent. he's su

when you listen to karine jean-pierre, she says this is not about the economy or the resume, it is about clearly filling that vacancy is important to the president and we'll certainly nominate someone in the near future. when it comes to diversity, you heard from me and the president, diversity and representation is important to this president and we're going to look at, the president will look at highly diverse work economists, just as we did for the previous fed nomination, we'll continue the process. >> cheryl: it is about diversity. katie pavlich tweeted this, next fed chair will be hired not on experience with monetary policy, good luck, america. elon musk replied and said maximum skill is extremely important in this role, bad fed decision affects the lives of everyone. >> todd: checking the box approach has gone swimmingly for this administration so far, why change now, that was sarcasm. dc going out of way not to lockup criminals, but to increase the challenge level on crimes like this is some video game. >> cheryl: instead of dealing with criminals, this is the plan from mayor mu

. >> thank you karine jean-pierre and admiral. i have one question on this and went on a separate subject. given how little is known about this object, at the time that our people shut it down, is it safe to say that when the president ordered it be shut down, he did not know whether it was and/or unmanned? kirby: we were able to get some fighter aircraft of and around it before the order to shoot it down. the pilot assessment was that this was not band. >> on a different subject, after the state of union address, minutes after he finished delivering it, president biden encountered in the halls of the capitol brady al capone's, the wife of your navy comrade who remains in prison in japan. the president told her that we are going to get this done. i wonder if you can tell us if this case in the conversation the president have the japanese prime minister last month and if you can flesh out his promise to her? i know generally do not like to say whole lot about these kinds of efforts but what can you tell us about what is being done

to show his stature, walk up to the podium, answer questions from the reporters himself not karine jean-pierred or his administration but the president himself. that is what america needs right now and the world to show the rest of the world, "hey, we have this under control, which we don't know what is going on right now my want to make that clear but if there was a time to be present potential know the time. >> the american people are nervous looking up in the sky and last week every time you looked down at your phone, and other allure and an object has been shut down. they will not say what the objects are. but the pentagon explaining how they knew the balloon off south carolina was china was due to u.s. intelligence that they already had appeared what they are avoiding now is this heightened awareness to see these objects and altitudes that maybe they weren't looking for before. and some research organization and companies may be testing out with objects that they don't know right now. and posed in the connected threat but could pose a threat to aviation which is why the president ordered

we do have that press briefing with karine jean-pierre this afternoon. after three objects shot down just since friday, people are clamoring for answers. >> the truth is we haven't been able to gain access to the three that were shot down friday, saturday and yesterday. in large part because of the weather conditions and the third one yesterday was shot down over lake huron. as soon as we do that we'll learn more about that them and share what we can learn with the american people. >> as you went into church this weekend reporters tried to get the president's comment but he did not respond. the pentagon says there are many differences between the initial spy balloon and these objects as they are described. the spy balloon was flying at 60,000 feet and about the size of a regional jet and had the ability to maneuver on its own. for those reasons they didn't shoot it down so they didn't endanger anybody before. the other objects were flying below the threshold and they were shot down and it causes more policy questions. >> they are saying they didn't shoot

. >> ashley: white house karine jean-pierre document assertions that leave the lab leak theory or conspiracyorist. listen. >> there was not so long ago a point where anyone asking questions, whether a lab leak was a credible theory which we looked into. a lot of those people were divided as french, conspiracy theorist. are there lessons learned about how we discussed theories when we don't have all of the answers? >> the president's commitment to get to the bottom of this peer that is the most important so we can share this with congress, we can share this with the american people. right now, there is no consensus. >> a within the u.s. intelligence committee. dr. anthony fauci speaking yesterday he sees no evidence. listen. >> we must keep an open mind as to all possibilities the date of the evolutionary neurologist have submitted and published in journals. but strongly suggest it was an actual occurrence. there appears to be obviously a disagreement. you have to look at the data and i don't see data for a lab leak. >> china's foreign affair ministry pushing back on the energy department's f

democrat, said we could share a lot more that would not compromise sources and methods and karine jean-pierree sharing all that we can, all this as the white house is discussing according to nbc, whether the president should talk about shooting down an object in air space, it is unfathomable. >> it is, as a reporter, you think, i don't know anything at all. what about the why of this. why is china doing this? does this tell you about the military there, is xi jinping testing, probing us, as you just said, because they don't want us to defend taiwan? we have to think beyond this balloon, what is china doing and what is their motivation? >> the best communicator in the white house is joe biden, no one believes that. >> harris: have you seen her recently, word salad, like kamala harris. >> disturbing picture of teenage girls in america, so sad, the staggering number that admit to feeling sad, hopeless and even suicidal. t to address my fellow veterans because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is the eligibility

the bottom line is this, when karine jean-pierre gets up today, "it is up to china to decide what theationship is." that is naive. it is up to us to set the parameters and say, "you violated our sovereignty. you breached our security and there will be consequences." but not with this guy. >> greg: all right, great start for monday. we can probably go home. >> jesse: let's go home. >> greg: coming up president biden to serve up some b.s. at the state of the union but americans are calling his bluff. ♪ ♪ boost® high protein. now available in cinnabon® bakery-inspired flavor. learn more at boost.com/tv liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. with the money we saved, we tried electric unicycles. i think i've got it! doggy-paddle! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ my a1c stayed here, it needed to be here. ray's a1c is down with rybelsus®. i'm down with rybelsus®. my a1c is down with rybelsus®. in a clinical study, once-daily rybelsus® significantly lowered a1c better than a leading branded pill. in the same study, pe

the white house press briefing just wrapped up and karine jean-pierre says things will china will continue to be calm despite u.s. forces shooting down a chinese spy craft. this was not the first brush with the chinese spy craft recently. four months ago, the same type of spy balloon crash landed in the pacific off of the coast of hawaii. mike waltz said the pentagon called them to tell them about other instances recently by these spy craft. >> what we were told is there were multiple incursions over florida, one over texas and separate reporting that we have not been able to ask about over hawaii and guam. so what were the extend of these incursions? >> this exclusive fox video shows the moments that f-22 raptor out of langley shot down the chinese balloon with a side winder missile. the first time since pearl harbor that the u.s. has shot down a hostile aircraft over u.s. territory. hawaii wasn't a state back then. in a press briefing with reporters, the top general admitted the u.s. military did not detect the earlier flights during the trump administration. john kirby also spoke earlie

what you heard from karine jean-pierre was a job preservation statement. if she said the president is pretty good but that jeff zients can set the podium on fire. i don't think that will happen. speaking of 43, i was regaling our 11-year-old twins the other day with a compilation of bushisms, some are priceless. beans and meat wrapped in a tortilla. >> dana: don't forget. >> john: the kids laughed whether the president said not enough oby -- >> dana: i'm not prepared with my bushisms today. let's get back to this now. the spread of homeless encampments in the nation's capital is a huge headache for officials there. an effort to get a solution is sparking local advocates. many parents worry social media is taking over their kids' lives and now a group of teen users who not only agree but taking it upon themselves to act. one of them is our next guest. >> social media was not magic. it was an illusion. we can't wait another year or month week or day to begin to protect the next generation. girls, pets are a big expense. aww.

pompeo former secretary of state will likely announce running as well, white house press second karine jean-pierre> so today as you all saw an hour or so ago president obama announced that -- pardon me, president biden. [laughter], whoa! that is news. maria: president obama, we don't know if president obama is the one handling the strings, for joe biden anyway joe, because -- obama people working for joe biden right now, i remember that interview he did with is to be colbert before leaving office said you know i really like the situation where i am in pajamas running things from basement nobody knows it is really me yeah isn't that interesting. >> might be what is happening he said silent part out loud, when sarah paley talled him o-biden revising everyone knows not biden's show it is the obama show obama 2.0 what is a biden doctrine? doesn't exist. maria: waiting for strength we see weakness on world containabling. >> we are going to be waiting and waiting and waiting waiting for godough most frustrating are a americans, in that cases on inflation, the economic policies, that is what everyone car

enter karine jean-pierre and willow, the white house cat. >> happy valentine's day from the white houset willow. >> laura, she is pushing a filter on the white house web site. now, how this is in the national interest i have no idea but i will say this, kjp may have found the one job she's really equipped for. human kitty litter box. so this is a good thing preparing herself for the next adventure. >> laura: well, that is an adorable cat. i always say i'm not a cat person but friendly cats, i really do like cats. you're not a cat person are you raymond, you don't like them. >> no i'm allergic. that's a fake cat not real. that's a filter. >> laura: oh. >> you can go on the white house and put that on your shoulder. >> laura: oh, that's what you meant. >> yes. >> laura: i was tricked. i was totally tracked when you said it was a filter i didn't really know what you meant. that looks really real. okay. i actually like that cat. >> laura you opened with a sad story of senator john fetterman's condition, the condition of some of these leaders demands scrutiny. senator bernie sanders is out t

you mentioned karine jean-pierre.the president has transformed the way americans think about the economy. really? do americans think the economy is better now than it was. do they think stagflation is a good thing? >> harris: look at the poll numbers. >> they don't show that at all. the converse is true as well. they say that 6% growth rate and a 1.4% inflation rate we had when he came to office say it is a bad economy. >> harris: i'm glad you ended on that note. i will pick up from that. the white house wants us to believe that these latest january inflation numbers are so much like candy and they are so not. a new op-ed argues biden inflation is not going away. inflation is still high and barely moving downward. last month the inflation rate is not like the unemployment rate. just because it goes down .1 percent doesn't mean prices are coming back down. it only means prices are rising slower than before but still rising. grocery prices, let's talk food for a minute. up overall 11% from last year. eggs up 70%. there

if i had a paycheck for every time blinken, kirby, psaki or karine jean-pierre said if this then this without explaining what the consequence is, i would probably not need to work for a living anymore. it is really all they go to. we'll draw this little line here and we're going to threaten this way. teddy roosevelt said something that was applicable now. two different statements. he said speak quietly and said carry a big stick. his big stick was to send a great light fleet around the world to let the know our military arrived and we were a super power in every sense of the word. speak softly. maybe biden has that figured out whispering into a microphone. what i saw from poland was a stump speech. americans grow weary of politicians that sells wars through stump speeches. we aren't blaming biden for the war in ukraine, we're asking biden when he will wake up, lead and get us out of it to the sense we're not worried about a world war. >> harris: talk to me about a red line and what it looks like. you've fought before and know what it is like to uphold a red line that the politicians s

says low level of confidence that the coughed covid -- covid started in a lab and first was karine jean-pierresaying this. >> there is not a consensus right now in the u.s. government about exactly how covid started. >> i'm not at liberty to confirm the reportings. we won't do that from here. what i can tell you is again there has been no consensus on this on where covid originated. >> dana: i love your thoughts on that but also how will your committee take this on? >> for the life of me i don't understand why they are down playing this. it is clear that evidence is stacking up in favor of the lab leak hypothesis. for two years anyone whod that was called a conspiracy theorist and a racist. we can't allow this to get in the way of us holding the chinese communist party accountable for covering up the origins of this pandemic. it should tell us something fundamental who we are dealing with in the ccp and that's what my committee will get after. this is a regime that can't be trusted. >> bill: how does the white house gain by sticking with that story line there is no consensus? >> i don't unders

yet today's briefing -- at today's briefing, karine jean-pierre ruled out any. on the russian ukraine were as we approach the anniversary, at the commencement of the conflict, we heard from the cia director and congressional testimony that president putin had been observed by u.s. officials to have constricted his decision-making circle during the pandemic, that he was making erratic decisions. and these were seen to have played out in what happened on the battlefield. as we approach this year anniversary, what do we observe about president putin's position making now? the caliber of his position making? and also his grip on power in his own country? has any of that changed over the course of the? >> i can't speak to who is advising him and what they are saying. i can't get inside the kremlin incision making process. clearly, mr. putin is not making good decisions. shouldn't have invaded in the first place. this is a country that poses no threat to anybody, let alone russia. he has not made sound decisions. they're still suffering some of the same problems they

. >> karine jean-pierre there eluding that there is no other off-ramp. and so markets have assumed may be a possibility, whether prioritizing payments to certain creditors, maybe minting a trillion dollar coin, a lot of different theories out there. but white house saying no, congress has to act. and they have about five months to do so. mccarthy says he thinks they can reach a deal before that. but he has not laid out what the republican plan is. and mccarthy said that he told debt ceiling increase is not on the table. so where things go is still an open question. but at this point biden and mccarthy committed to continue speaking on what could be potential economic catastrophe that they are trying to avoid. phil mattingly, cnn, the white house. >>> u.s. financial markets are hoping to keep the momentum going when trading begins on wall street in just a few hours. stock futures are looking to open but of course that could change. stock futures at the moment mi mixed picture. wednesday the dow gained ground late in session but then finished flat. the nas
