or $100,000 to hear joe biden on a zoom. ainsley: you didn t get anything else? they all got the same product? steve: somebody might have got an tote bag, maybe. but everybody maybe an autographed picture. steve: what everybody did get is joe biden stay saying stuff like this. the republican party today offers nothing but fear, lies and broken promises. we have to keep cutting through the republican fog that the government isn t the problem and show that we, the people, we the people are always the solution. steve: joe biden is saying it is the republicans who are the problem. but, you know, i think it was largely the republicans who said when you get the shot you shouldn t have to wear the mask. it s the president who said okay, you got the shot i said you didn t have to wear the mask now you have got to wear the mask again. that s why people are suffering from what the new york times called pandemic whiplash.
500 guests, 200 staffers there. massive party including steven spillberg, oprah winfrey and george clooney. pete: i had a fourth of july party i was the covid coordinator. summer is open have a few barbecue with a few of your friends outdoors only. it is the double standard. i want barack obama to have 2,000 people at his party if he wants. we should be able to as well if that s the case. it. ainsley: congresswoman nicole malliotakis said that too. i m not saying you shouldn t have a party it s a double standard when you have these people all over the country democratic leaders saying you have to mask up. you can t go into a restaurant and then you see the opposite. pete: as he often does, peter, was in the press briefing room and asked jen psaki about this birthday bash. listen. is president obama setting the wrong example how serious covid-19 is by hosting a big
