added to the list of venues that are now welcoming migrants from the border. some record number of migrants, we might point out. startling numbers today for fiscal year that technically isn t even over yet, but we have broken all records in the process. let s get to it with peter doocy from the white house. hi, peter. neil, this afternoon president biden upending our understanding of his i immigration policy. more than a year he told us the migrants are coming from the northern triangle countries. that would be el salvador, guatemala and honduras. now he says that s not the problem anymore. there are three countries that are never there s fewer immigrants coming from central america and from mexico. this is a different circumstance. what is on my watch now is venezuela, cuba and nicaragua. the ability to send them back is not rationale. just before that in the briefing room, the white house claimed they were willing to engage leaders that were bussing or flying migran
that s what the white house wants to talk about. they believe they delivered. the president is dealing with a decision that was made out of his control. the significant, dramatic cut that was made in output levels by opec. the president, blunt, in his view of that. what s your reaction to the opec decision? disappointment. don t hurt him. is it going to be there s a lot of alternatives. we haven t made up our mind yet. reporter: there s so many different elements of this, the domestic economy, the global economy, the bilateral relationship, the geopolitics in the midst of the war in ukraine, and politics, 30 days out from the election. the white house is working on a series of options that the president may pursue to block major increases at the pump. they are aware this is a global market. a decision made by some countries that the u.s. viewed a s allies or should have been allies leading up to it. the disappointment is real. some rage, to some degree, when you t
