ainsley: so, jen psaki talked with your son, peter doocy. he is now back from his mini honeymoon. steve: um-huh. ainsley: he was asking her about the kids that these children are receiving down there on the border. steve: the welcome to america bag. ainsley: there were rumors that maybe her children's book super heroes was a part of these kits? steve: indeed, the kids arriving at the facility in long beach, california and there you can see one of the images right there. what's interesting is, you know, you come to the country and that's what you get? you wind up are some hygiene things and some clothes and that book. peter asked her about that yesterday. jen psaki, i don't think she knew about it. >> about those facilities there was a report in the last couple days in the "new york post" that every migrant child being brought to a shelter is being given a copy of her children's book super heros are everywhere. do you know why that is and if she is making any money off of that? >> the president of -- the vice president. >> vice president's book, yeah. >> i would have to check with

i guess peter doocy raised legitimate questions today. will these woke corporations,lo are they going to follow suit? is there going to be a boycott there? what is clear is that joe biden, stacey abrams,e the mlb commissioner are all willing participants in what is now a massive lie, propaganda, disinformation campaign against voter integrity and free and fairee elections that americans could have competence in prayer and frankly, they all owe an apology to the people of georgia. they have an obligation to at least acknowledge basic fundamental truths instead of needlessly dividing americans even further with lies about this law. we did send our own lisa boothe down to atlanta to get georgians' reactions to all of this and much more. i bet you got an ear full today. >> my gosh, sean. joe biden called this "jim crowe on steroids" and that seems to have taken hold right here in atlanta, georgia. what struck me is the opposition to the laws seem to be more of the opposition to the governor rather than the law itself. watch this. >> major lea

first, to peter doocy at the white house on what we can expect to hear from the vice president. peter? >> jerry, good afternoon. the vice president and the president of guatemala are logging on for this virtual one-on-one. the bilateral meeting will focus on the immediate relief needs of people in guatemala. this will take place from the vice president's ceremonial office as she explains why it is she hasn't been down to the border. >> martha: first, vice president harris says she's not gone to the border yet because we have to deal with covid issues. what is she referring to? >> well, i would certainly have to ask her team about that specifically. i would tell you also that her focus is not on the border. it's on addressing the root causes in the northern triangle. >> because the vice president has made out of town trips in the pandemic to new hampshire, california, connecticut, other states, republicans are not buying her excuse. >> niece the excuse that this administration is going to use. look at her. she's been jetsetting around this country, going to the different blue stat

over a lie to peter doocy's point. the "washington post" has fact checked this and came to the conclusion that joe biden was doing four pinocchio lie. making a claim and being called out on it. the white house press secretary and president continue to repeat it. so look, in this case as far as georgia is concerned you look at the polls, 91% of republicans and associated press poll support voter i.d. requirements. 72% of independents and 56% of democrats. everybody is on the side of this. i'm going to a yankee game may 2. 1:05 start. half hour ride, nice and easy. when i go to will call to pick up my tickets we'll need your i.d. to give you the tickets i think i'll say trust me on this one, guys, i am who i say i am and see what major league baseball does. or when i go to disney in november. we'll say your i.d. no, just let me on the plane and trust me on this one as well. i would like to see how these companies start to react when consumers start to push back on the hypocrisy of these companies in pulling out all-star

peter doocy at the white house with what we might be able to expect. ome grew accustomed over the eight obama state of the unions and seeing joe biden seated behind him in the vice president's seat. the first time that biden steps up to the mic and the first time that there are two women seated behind him. the vice president, kamala harris and the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi. we have not seen the president today. we understand the last 2 1/2 days he's been very involved with the crafting of this speak making sure it's perfect. we heard a white house official say it's about 5,000 words right now. we don't know how much he's going to be slowed down by applause. but to your point, about the trillions upon trillions of dollars, the infrastructure package that he proposed for about $2 trillion a few weeks ago has not been debated yet in congress. they were trying to what qualifies as infrastructure. they're moving forward $1.8 trillion in new spending proposals, a combination and tax relief for american families. there's some progressives that might n

peter doocy, thanks so much for joining us from the white house.ovid-19 pandemic has delivered crushing blows, as we know, to the restaurant industry. members from the national restaurant association say restaurant and food service sales are down $270 billion from their expected levels. 1.8 million jobs have also been lost during the pandemic while 1 so 10,000 restaurants --110,000 restaurants are permanently closed or will be closed long term. but our next guest says things will be okay for his industry. we welcome cameron mitchell himself. great to see you, cameron. you see a little more optimistic. have we turned the corner? >> well, i'm a heck of a lot more on optimistic now than a yr ago today. but, yes, i think we have. we finished march about 90% of our same-store sales in 2019. we've got our weekend business is tremendous. we're still over 100%, we're about 80% midweek mainly due to lack of the business dinners out there. and business lunches also are still down. so the aggregate, we're about 90% back, and we think the rest of that will com

peter doocy right now at the white house with the campaign to sell still more spending among a lot of doubters and not just republicans. peter? >> neil, republicans say they are skeptical the white house is going to be able to pay for this the way they say they want to pay for it. with increases in taxes only on the top sliver of top earners. >> whoever is the rich and paying their fair share, everybody is paying taxes is going to pay more money. so maybe if you're not paying taxes, you think you're going to get away with it. if you pay a electricity bill, you will pay more. you will pay more for this plan. >> they're proposing the biggest tax increase. when you talk capital gains, you're talking about everybody. you're not talking about just for so-caldwell think people. you're talking about everybody. >> the theme of the president's address is a look forward. hours after his justice department looked backward executing a search warrant on rudy guliani, his predecessors personal attorney. >> were you aware of that raid before it happened? >> i give you my word i did not. i made a ple

earlier today, our own peter doocy pressed him on the issue. let's take a look. >> you said end voting at 5:00. he said it would end voting hours early so working people can't cast their vote after their shift is over. but "the washington post" gave that claim four pinocchio's because that part of the law is having an option to extend voting hours. so i'm curious if the president would like to change that. >> fundamentally, the president believes it should not be harder to vote. he believes it should be easier. >> but the things he has said has been determined by election law experts to be not true. so i'm just curious. >> well again, i think we can come on the fact-checkers will also tell you that this bill does not make it easier for people across the state of georgia to vote. and that is where he has concerns. >> sean: circle back. propaganda got caught red-handed. they are lying. get this. the irony. georgia's voting law is far, far, far less restrictive than joe's beloved home state of delaware. for example, delaware has no in-person early

white house correspondent peter doocy is live. r, things got a little heated between you and the press secretary yesterday. tell us about that. >> julie, i had some questions about children being tossed over the border wall and how it is being addressed by an administration that says they are on it. >> i've seen the video and i think anyone who have seen the video were incredibly alarmed by the sets of smugglers, and these kids i believe were rescued by individuals who were working at the border. >> yes, but they still got close enough -- >> are you concerned more about the kids safety or are you concerned about kids getting in? >> president biden said, successful president, timed things right. he thinks now is the time to do infrastructure in congress and sort things out with immigration diplomatically. the critical swing vote, the white house should rethink that, his party says. >> it is beyond time, past time to do immigration reform. if that means a moratorium for 90 days to stop everything to say, let's make sure that we put t

dana. >> dana: peter doocy.e were talking last week about 5 1/2% went to roads and bridges, right? what we think about when we think about infrastructure. the definition has been expanded, you would agree? >> dana: i personally don't think you can expand the definition to include healthcare workers even though they might need more money. does that belong in infrastructure? i don't think so. there is something to be said about replacing sewer pipes and water systems things like that. could that be called infrastructure and fall under the umbrella? that probably does. >> bill: how about electrical vehicles and charging stations? >> dana: i have questions about that. >> bill: senator blunt this past week said for the sake of argument why don't we just call it 30%, 33% of the 2.2 or 2.3 proposed. you are looking at 600 or 700 billion dollars. let's make that the infrastructure package and let's vote on that. if you did you would get republican support. as it stands now, you are -- it will be months before a position

us where republicans may be willing to compromise, but we begin with white house correspondent peter doocypeter. >> good afternoon and they call this the family cabinet because the government tax would sell the biden family plan. they are the treasury hhs education and agricultural department. speak with the president announced the families cabinet are going to spend the coming days continuing to make the case for why congress should act on these vital precedents in the economic security of the middle class. >> the white house is also saying today president biden wants to work with democrats and republicans to make the big progressive proposals he outlined a reality. in two weeks he will host kevin mccarthy a mitch mcconnell at the white house and this is what he will be working with. >> president biden is a likable person. many of us have worked with him in the chamber. but on the account of his remarks, look, understated, the content was anything but. >> the president's first out-of-town trip since he announced the cdc is okay with foley vaccinating people being outside without their mas

peter doocy is following these fast moving administration developments in the white house. ter. >> neil, we're tracking the haven't's movements here. we just heard from her. she's not talking about immigration. she's talking about infrastructure. doesn't sound like she's that concerned about these republicans that are coming forward to say they're not going to support this infrastructure spending package unless the white house strips everything out of it that doesn't have to do with crumbling bridges or roads. >> the american jobs plan is about saying let us 100% of our lead system and the lead pipes, let's upgrade them. why? drinking lead will kill our children literally. so we have to acknowledge the public health issue, but also again see the opportunity and upgraing these systems. >> vice president harris has been in california first to celebrate the easter holiday and now to sell this proposal. that remains the focus affecting immigration in that state. the hhj overflow shelters or the border where 171,000 migrants were apprehended last month up from about 100,000 the m

alone with a mask on, it's all normal, says a "the new york times," but then yesterday our own peter doocy the white house asked what was going on and here's the response he got. >> why was president biden the only world leader at the climate summit zoom who was wearing a mask? >> because he is sending a message to the world that he is putting in place precautions continuing to do that as leader of the united states and i don't know what set up they all had in their countries, that may warrant similar reporting or not but obviously he had a pool for portions, additional staff and personnel and that's a sort of model that we try to keep ourselves to. >> tucker: so there you go. that's the answer, joe biden was sending a message to the world and that message was not as we had had suspected an emotional disorder that he is afraid of conference calls. the message is that joe biden is putting in place precautionsal those would be sensible precautions, precautions against zoom, because it turns out covid's digitally transmissible. it travels through the fibers the virus embeds itself among the o

this is the same laptop president biden said russia is information and december when peter doocy askedes, yes and yes. >> guy, you need to have a lot of laptops, like an unreasonable amount of laptops to not know if you lost one or one was stolen from you. what you make of this remark from hunter biden? >> he allegedly lost a gun, too so i guess he loses a lot of things, allegedly. [laughter] here is the issue. it answers, like broke. it could have been my laptop, it could have been russia. the thing, i expect politicians to cross the spectrum to live, is what a lot of politicians do so when there's a problem on this front and the biden campaign in the home stretch of the election says yes, that's russian disinformation, they present no evidence whatsoever to implicate russia, still no evidence to implicate russia on this front but that was there spin. fine. politicians like. this is a media scandal because the media swallowed the spin and said okay, let's report back, regurgitate the spin as if it's reality and it was that totally unproven spin off the original post story on the front

peter doocy asked the white house press secretary about it. >> has the white house considered "border security after video for 3-year-old and 5-year-old being thrown over the wall into mexico. >> beating a border security -- >> there is video of a 3-year-old -- >> i've seen the video and i think any of us who saw the video were incredibly alarmed. >> they still got close enough, you talk about addressing root causes in the region, throwing them over a wall, i was curious what the white house is doing to stop that from happening? >> are you concerned more about the kids safety or kids getting in, tell me more about your concerns. >> as you just mentioned -- >> of course it is which is why i'm often surprised by the line of questioning here. >> border patrol agent who posted the video tells fox news it happened in a rural area, very hard to get to and the smugglers are in her words really hurting these children. progressive democrats like alexandria ocasio cortez are not satisfied with the president's $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan saying it doesn't go far enough. chad program on the

as correspondent peter doocy has the story, this is the white house for us this evening. >> that eveninging

white house correspondent peter doocy starts us off tonight.

ignored the story and so in late december president-elect joe biden had this back and forth with peter doocyyou still think the story from the fall about your son hunter was a smear campaign? >> yes yes yes, you are one horse pony. >> the answer indicates extreme confidence yet now we know that hunter biden doesn't share that confidence. >> i don't know. i really don't know. >> you don't know, yes or no? >> no idea. >> it could have been yours? >> certainly there could be a laptop out there. it could be that i was hacked. it could be it was russian intelligence. it could be that it was stolen from me. >> what could be as the man who turned over the computer said someone who looks very much like hunter biden dropped off the laptop to be fixed. and pr said the story was discredited by intelligence. not a taxpayer-funded network you should a correction saying they were wrong. shannon: thank you. new information about the suspect in today's deadly attack that killed one capitol police officer left another in the hospital. let's bring in the author of how to fight a terrorist, special agent john,

particular issue because as i said there is no evidence and maybe we'll get a question perhaps from peter doocysident biden takes questions again. katie: that's why i don't want twitter anymore unless it's occasional it's like a gift. i like to stay away, it's a good strategy. so leo, you have extensive legal experience, it's really hard to predict the future especially when were talking about an investigation where we don't know exactly what's going on. where do you see this going? guy: katie ernie pointed out there is an inherent conflict of interest, you heard what hunter biden said he completely is certain that he will be found innocent of any charges, he honestly believes he's going to be indicted under his father's administration, it's not going to happen and this is going to be a typical whitewash in the biggest giver hunter biden is that his father when the selection and the fact if there was another administration the trump administration, hunter biden would be in deep trouble but the biden administration will exonerate him. carley: hopefully the truth is what ends at prevailing and we

peter doocy asking the white house about that yesterday. >> these kids, i believe, were rescued by individuals who were working at the border. >> yes, but they still got close enough and talk about addressing the root causes in the region over the wall into a desert. i'm just curious what the white house is doing to stop that pathogen. >> are you concerned about the kids safety or kids getting in or tell me more about your concern here? >> kids safety come as you just mentioned. >> of course it is, i'm surprised some of the questioning here. >> dana: she was horrified by what she saw. >> human beings are a commodity. we know their tactics and i've been doing this 25 years now. we know exactly the tactics of these people. for them, it is just a process. >> bill: you were watching that interview yesterday. >> dana: it was right before "the five." she's been with them 27 years and has a ton of compassion. i would love to have her on the program. she's had so much knowledge and worry, but also, she was able to show what the border patrol agents are doing, trying to protect the border but also admi
