island, complete with amenities, wait for it, that include x box game consoles, ping pong tables, fluff and fold laundry, plenty of controversy, with residents housed in homeless shelters, a stark contrast to rundown conditions they live in. meanwhile, the situation at the southern border is spiralling out of control. the el paso mayor is denying the white house asked him not to declare a state of emergency over the influx of illegal immigrants, but comments at a city council meeting last month suggest otherwise. did the white house ask you not to declare a state of emergency? absolutely not. one of the things i m thankful for the white house, the federal government, they ve done a really, really good job working with us, helping us to make sure we get funding to be able to do the job that border cities are required to do. i had a conversation this morning or yesterday with the chief of the u.s. border patrol, chief ortiz, and he does not support declaring a state of emer
and tuesday, said it again. he had no problem saying that sentence twice. we got to hear that with full candor, articulation, that s our president. he refuses to acknowledge or answer all the questions we have about security and inflation and the southern border, et cetera. in fact, he will call our reporters and peter doocy an sob, he will call a college student that dared to ask a question a dog faced pony soldier. it goes on. that s who is in charge. that s america under his watch. my day is complete at work. i heard you saw dog pony. i ll be quick and say that s what happens when they unleash him, then they have to do the cleanup on aisle 7 because you can t control what s coming out of his mouth. i would like to see for one moment a press room with a press corp and president biden taking just even a smidge of the vitriol they used to spew at donald trump and see if he could possibly handle it. that s why they don t put him out there. not even the left leaning
cushy. he was sued for it as well. on the drag queen issue, people are talking about this headline, i don t think anyone on the couch, i will speak for myself, not clutching my pearls over drag shows. if people want to have fun, knock yourself out, adults expressing themselves, that s fantastic. zero problem. however, u.s. taxpayer foreign aid dollars, that s the question here, not are drag shows okay, particularly for adults, should u.s. tax dollars flow to foreign countries to fund them, separate question. that s right. but the thoeme of this administration, it goes to every which way but who needs it in terms of priority, which include every state that s a border state. right now, every state is and it is our american communities that are being absolutely destroyed and made worse by this administration s lack of policies and lack of spine. but this is biden s america. all right. coming up, democrat stacey abrams is linking your economic woes and
the press corp just doesn t understand him and won t give him a fair shake, even though president biden has done fewer interviews than his immediate predecessors. in a recent interview, white house communications director kate bedingfield said this. there s a fundamental disbelief in the east coast press corp in biden s vision, strategy, tactics and his ability to do the things he said he would do. it probably doesn t help when the president loses his cool with reporters, like cutting out, peter doocy. i m sorry, lost my mind. there have been several instances of this, including this from yesterday. midterm voters, top domestic issues, inflation or abortion. all important. unlike you, there s no one thing, it crosses the board. there s multiple, multiple, multiple issues and they re all important.
decisions, we can t get answers from joe biden. a lot of people have a lot of questions still unanswered. we did get some information this week, just to your point, i mean, it is not a huge thing, but dr. jill biden has been vetting white house officials. she is not elected. yeah. we know part of the job is being done by his wife. say it again. she is not elected. guy, when you look at the situation, you know access to a president is particularly important even when the country is pretty much going well. when over 70% of people say it is not, it is critical that you sit down with the president of the united states. yep. and he s finally done a couple sit downs, 60 minutes. how have those gone. i wouldn t say terribly well. there s a difference between answering a couple of questions, screaming over the engine of marine one versus a formal press conference, the opportunity for follow-up questions, to drill down on things beyond talking
