Capable. this shows people who have privilege and to have power and who have position have no earthly clue what they are actually doing, and that is one of the reasons why the former president was so successful, because he kept his eye on the ball of working-class issues: wages, 401(k)s, jobs, trade, the things that actually affected regular, working families. now this administration, they are thinking about the $3.5 trillion deal, and how many plug in car installations they can afford. they are totally out of touch with what is going on in the country, and the only reason they are addressing it now is because the media said hey, guys, you might want to tackle this before you get shellacked even harder in the midterms. there is a term we use in politics, when we say we either have an optics problem or we have a reality problem, an optics problem if something isn t actually bad but it is made to look that way.
Released into del rio, texas in very large numbers. they are just taking them over to the bus depot and they are getting on buses and they are given a 60-day notice to appear. go to an ice office in 60 days. we are going to trust you. until then move along. rachel: that is directly contrary to what the creation is saying. the administration says they are expulsing them. that is not true. they are not doing that they are releasing them. and even it disgruntled border patrol agents saying oh yeah they re releasing them. no, this is the a.p. who saw them released to the bus station. we know that s happening. for the biden administration, this is it an optics problem. how do we get them out of detention centers and out of this brazilian that we have created on our border right there. this is what we do. we remove them into the interior of the country, release them. we don t close the border. we don t fulfill the law.
As a spin for his family. he should stay out of it. he should do the job the viewers want him to do. plus, cnn is so much bigger than any one anchor. what really matters most is how cnn as a global news outlet covers the governor s alleged crimes. now, i asked around about this all week, and i found absolutely no sign that chris having a show at 9:00 affects the rest of the day. if anything, it s the opposite. some staffers have speculated the coverage has been extra tough on cnn because of the scrutiny. i think cnn s coverage has been scathing. it has been appropriately in depth because this is the governor of one of the largest states in the country in the middle of a firestorm. i want you to know that it s not like chris is hanging out in the bureau newsroom, hanging out with the reporters covering the story. he works several floors away. he doesn t have that kind of interaction. still, there is an optics problem, and that s why i m
Perspective. this is a huge optics problem. jillian: the cnn s panelists were in agreement that hunter s sales are, quote, obviously a problem for the white house. you heard them say it there. press secretary jen psaki last week defended the practice saying there was no, quote, undue influence because the buyers are anonymous despite reported man s for hunter to meet with potential buyers. joe concha will join us with his thoughts on the panel s discussion in the next hour. the time is 36 minutes after the hour. a new mask mandate takes effect in st. louis county today even for those who are fully vaccinated. griff: two leaders who are challenging the mandate join us live to explain why, next. and i won t back down. i won t back down. hey, baby.
Also from a practical perspective. this is a huge optics problem and ethics problem and making it more challenging is that it is art. griff: hunter biden gaining new critics, cnn panelists agreeing that hunter s art sales are huge optics and ethics problems. jillian: this as the president s son reportedly plans to meet with potential buyers of his new artwork at shows in new york city and los angeles. joe concha is a fox news contributor. it seems like we have bipartisanship, oh, my. wow. when you lost cnn you know you have a problem when you re team biden. the white house which has a huge credibility problem lately, given it tried and failed to blame republicans for defunding the police or when the president says facebook is literally killing people, they can try to spin this situation like they did in those situations as much sible with hunter biden, but the left, right, everyone in between knows that a first time
