But according to a series of clips compiled by RNC Research (@RNCResearch), Jean-Pierre has spent weeks — if not months – saying the exact opposite and promising that Biden would not negotiate on the debt ceiling.

In the series of clips, compiled over months of daily White House press briefings, Jean-Pierre could be heard saying things like:
<ul>
<li>February 2, 2023: &#8220;We don&#8217;t see any negotiation here. We don&#8217;t see anything that needs to be discussed.&#8221;</li>
<li>February 10, 2023: &#8220;It&#8217;s pretty simple and it&#8217;s pretty straightforward, we believe that Congress has a constitutional duty to get this done.&#8221;</li>
<li>February 16, 2023: &#8220;The president&#8217;s stance on negotiations stands, right, which is that he does not believe as it relates to the debt ceiling, that we should be negotiating.&#8221;</li>
<li>March 2, 2023: &#8220;We&#8217;ve been very clear: we&#8217;re not going to negotiate on the debt ceiling.&#8221;</li>
<li>March 6, 2023: &#8220;We never came to the table to negotiate on the debt ceiling. That was not something that occurred, that is not something that&#8217;s happening, we&#8217;ve been very clear we&#8217;re not negotiating around the debt ceiling.&#8221;</li>
<li>March 29, 2023: &#8220;When you think about the debt limit, it is not negotiable.&#8221;</li>
<li>March 30, 2023: &#8220;We should not be negotiating on the debt ceiling.&#8221;</li>
<li>April 5, 2023: &#8220;There&#8217;s no negotiation that we will be having.&#8221;</li>
<li>April 6, 2023: &#8220;The debt ceiling, it should be done without negotiation.&#8221;</li>
<li>April 19, 2023: &#8220;There should be no negotiation, this should be done without conditions.&#8221;</li>
<li>April 20, 2023: &#8220;We should not have to negotiate on this.&#8221;</li>
<li>April 24, 2023: &#8220;Look, we&#8217;ve been very clear: we&#8217;re not going to negotiate.&#8221;</li>
<li>April 25, 2023: &#8220;We&#8217;re just not going to negotiate on that.&#8221;</li>
<li>April 27, 2023: &#8220;The president said yesterday he&#8217;s happy to meet with Speaker McCarthy, but not on whether or not the debt limit gets extended. That is not negotiable and we have been very clear about this.&#8221;</li>

Joe Biden

Karine Jean-Pierre

U.S.

White House

White House Press Secretary <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/karine-jean-pierre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karine Jean-Pierre</a> told reporters on Tuesday that President <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/biden-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> has reduced the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/national-debt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deficit</a> in a meaningful way since the start of his tenure, a claim which comes as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/house-republicans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Republicans</a> insist on broader spending reforms.
One reporter noted that House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kevin-mccarthy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin McCarthy</a> (R-CA), with whom the commander-in-chief has been negotiating over moves to raise the <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/debt-ceiling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">debt ceiling</a> and implement future spending caps, said Democratic officials refuse to decrease expenditures. When asked if she agrees that Democrats “have a spending problem,” Jean-Pierre at first answered with a simple “no” and later said Biden “believes in dealing with the deficit in a real way.”
“The President takes this very seriously,” she commented. “He has proposed reducing the deficit by eliminating tax breaks for carried interest loopholes, retirement for wealthy, real estate investors, and cryptocurrency.”
Jean-Pierre said that Biden had reduced the federal budget deficit, which refers to the shortfall between annual tax collections and spending, by some $1.7 trillion over the past two years. Other senior White House officials have repeatedly made similar <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-economic-czar-claims-white-house-is-reducing-the-budget-deficit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statements</a>, ostensibly referencing the decrease in deficits from $3.1 trillion in fiscal year 2020 to $1.4 trillion in fiscal year 2022, as recorded in <a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYFSD" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from the Office of Management and Budget.
The administration officials have failed to note, however, that the deficits in fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2021 are attributable to stimulus packages meant to increase economic activity amid the lockdown-induced recession, one of which Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/comparing-trump-and-bidens-covid-relief-bills" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> after the nation was no longer in a recession. The White House has also neglected to mention that the $1.4 trillion deficit in the last fiscal year is still larger than any other deficit before the lockdowns.
Beyond references to proposed tax increases for billionaires, more severe tax penalties on corporate stock buybacks, and reductions in subsidy expenditures, Jean-Pierre said that the budget framework introduced by the White House earlier this year would <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-wants-to-cut-3-trillion-in-spending-over-the-next-decade-america-needs-20-trillion-in-cuts-to-balance-the-budget" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decrease</a> deficits by $3.0 trillion over the next decade. House Republicans have meanwhile <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gop-led-house-passes-mccarthys-plan-to-raise-debt-limit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> a bill that would cap spending at fiscal year 2022 levels, allow for 1% annual increases, and raise the debt ceiling until the start of the next fiscal year.
The debt ceiling, a statute established by lawmakers which prevents the government from spending beyond a predetermined national debt limit of $31.4 trillion, exceeded the threshold earlier this year. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and other officials have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/yellen-says-nation-could-face-debt-default-in-less-than-three-weeks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warned</a> that continued negotiations may induce a failure to increase the debt ceiling before the first day of June and could cause a worldwide financial crisis as the nation defaults on obligations.
The national debt, on the other hand, now surpasses $31.7 trillion and serves as a continual damper on economic growth, while elevated interest rates have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/interest-payments-on-the-national-debt-on-pace-to-surpass-military-spending" target="_blank" rel="noopener">weighed</a> on the budget as lawmakers are forced to devote more revenues toward servicing the debt.

McCarthy <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mccarthy-tells-house-republicans-he-is-nowhere-near-debt-ceiling-deal-with-biden-reports" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a> fellow Republicans in a closed-door meeting on Tuesday to “hang with me on the debt limit” since he and Biden are “nowhere near a deal yet” with respect to spending. Biden had characterized the most recent discussions as “productive” and affirmed that “the only way to move forward is in good faith toward a bipartisan agreement.”

Have you noticed that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/democratic-party" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democrats</a> and the Left at large are increasingly brazen in their attempt to trample on all parental rights and authority? This past week alone, we saw three examples of this encroachment from the executive branch all the way down to a Florida teacher.
For example, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made the bold claim last Saturday night that states which have banned sex-denial surgery and other gender-rejection care require an all-hands-on-deck response.
&#8220;There are more than 600 pieces of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation out there,&#8221; Jean-Pierre <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/karine-jean-pierre-slams-bans-trans-treatment-minors-kids-belong-us?intcmp=tw_fnc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at the GLAAD Media Awards. &#8220;A few hundred of them are anti-trans communities, and that matters because we have to call that out. And we’ve never seen this level. It’s historic in the number of pieces of legislation.&#8221;
Perhaps the response is &#8220;historic&#8221; because it seems like the Left is attempting to convince the world that child mutilation is good and changing &#8220;genders&#8221; is real for the first time in history en masse.
Regardless, Jean-Pierre continued, &#8220;I’ve met a lot of parents of trans kids in the past couple of months who have told me these devastating stories, whether they’re in Texas or Oklahoma or wherever they are, saying how they now have to seriously consider leaving their state to protect their child. That’s something that we have to call out and continue to be very clear about. These are kids. These are our kids. They belong to all of us.&#8220; (emphasis added)
The response to that is very simple: Kick rocks.

My kids are my kids, your kids are your kids. Likewise, child mutilation is to &#8220;health care&#8221; as burning your kid&#8217;s hand on a stove is to &#8220;discipline.&#8221; It&#8217;s abuse. That&#8217;s why laws banning the practice are needed.

But KJP, as her fans call her, wasn&#8217;t alone in that line of thinking.
Friday afternoon, Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona tweeted, &#8220;Teachers know what is best for their kids because they are with them every day. We must trust teachers.&#8221; (emphasis added)

But let&#8217;s check in on one teacher, a member of the public servant class that serves as the supposed voice of wisdom as praised by Cardona. Jenna Barbee, a fifth-grade teacher in Florida&#8217;s Hernando County School District, had <a href="https://cbsaustin.com/news/nation-world/parents-rights-are-gone-when-children-are-in-public-school-florida-teacher-under-investigation-says-hernando-county-jenna-barbee-strange-world-disney-lgbtq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">some thoughts</a> on when parental rights start and end this week.
Florida has a parental rights law that now bans education on gender identity and sexual orientation unless it is related to the curriculum. Barbee recently decided to show a film featuring LGBTQ themes. Parents obviously took umbrage with that — arguing it&#8217;s not Barbee&#8217;s job to teach that sort of stuff.
&#8220;What she&#8217;s missing and what these parents are missing is that they&#8217;re not in the school system,&#8221; Barbee said in response. &#8220;These conversations, these doors that she&#8217;s talking about, telling me that I&#8217;m stripping her rights as a parent — those rights are gone when your child is in the public school system because there are students talking about these things.&#8221;
Well, no parental rights end just because their children step into a public school.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/white-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White House</a> press secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/karine-jean-pierre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karine Jean-Pierre</a> said Friday that a Florida judge’s decision halting an emergency mass parole program at the U.S. southern border was “sabotage.”
Judge Thomas Wetherell of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida ruled on Thursday that the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/border-patrol" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S. Border Patrol</a> does not have the authority to release illegal immigrants from custody without giving them a date with an immigration court and setting up a means of tracking them.
“Look, the way we see that, it’s sabotage, pure and simple. That’s how that reads to us. The claims that CBP is allowing or encouraging mass release of migrants is just categorically false,” Jean-Pierre said during a press conference.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The legal challenge, filed by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, stemmed from a Wednesday letter from Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz. Ortiz authorized his agents to “parole” migrants to ease severe <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2023/05/12/border-patrol-migrant-processing-centers-filled-trump-policy-end/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">overcrowding</a> that has swamped regions along the U.S. southern border this week.
Ortiz set out parameters that, if met in a certain region, allow Border Patrol officers to begin expedited releases of mass amounts of migrants, a program that Texas Governor Greg Abbott <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mass-catch-and-release-biden-admin-releasing-migrants-into-u-s-with-no-ability-to-track-them" target="_blank" rel="noopener">condemned</a> as “mass catch and release.”
The Department of Homeland Security argued that the program was necessary to stave off “catastrophic” overcrowding at Border Patrol facilities, estimating that without the fast track parole program, government processing and detainment centers along the southern border would be crowded with up to 45,000 migrants by the end of the month.
<a class="c-link" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-59442">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
“Putting aside the fact that even President Biden recently acknowledged that the border has been in chaos for ‘a number of years,’ Defendants’ doomsday rhetoric rings hollow,” wrote Wetherell, an appointee of former President Donald Trump. “[T]his problem is largely one of Defendants’ own making through the adoption an implementation of policies that have encouraged the so-called ‘irregular migration’ that has become fairly regular over the past 2 years.”
Without the parole policy, migrants entering the country illegally will be processed under traditional Title 8 immigration and asylum rules. They will be assigned a date in an immigration court — which, because of a severe backlog in immigration cases, can be several years out — to process their asylum claims.
Wetherell’s court order has frozen Ortiz’s memo until at least an injunction hearing scheduled for May 19. It builds on a prior legal challenge Moody filed against a similar immigration policy enacted by the Biden administration in 2021 that set up parole and “alternatives to detention” routes for processing illegal migrants. The judge <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/11/florida-sues-biden-over-title-42-00096558" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruled</a> that policy unconstitutional in March.
The judge said he “fails to see a material difference” between the two policies. “In both instances, aliens are being released into the country on an expedited basis without being placed in removal proceedings and with little to no vetting and no monitoring,” he wrote.

<a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/biden-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White House</a> Press Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/karine-jean-pierre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karine Jean-Pierre</a> suggested on Wednesday that efforts from <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/house-republicans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Republicans</a> to combine a <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/debt-ceiling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">debt ceiling</a> increase with meaningful spending reforms presently constitute the “single biggest threat” to the U.S. <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/economy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">economy</a>.
The assertion came one day after President Joe Biden met with senior Democratic and Republican lawmakers to negotiate an increase in the debt ceiling, a policy established by <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Congress</a> that prevents the federal government from spending beyond a predetermined national debt limit. Jean-Pierre contended that Biden would “not accept attempts to take the full faith and credit of the United States hostage” in order to enact an “extreme agenda.”
“The single biggest threat to our economy would be if House Republicans fail to prevent default,” Jean-Pierre said in a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/05/10/statement-from-press-secretary-karine-jean-pierre-on-april-cpi-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>. “That would cost millions of Americans their jobs, increase costs, increase the deficit, and crater retirement accounts.”
Other senior administration officials have made similar assertions in recent days. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/yellen-warns-of-debt-default-as-early-as-june-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cautioned</a> that the federal government would default unless the debt ceiling is raised by the first day of June, commented in one <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/janet-yellen-warns-ceos-about-recession-risks-from-debt-ceiling-battle-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> that Republicans are holding a “gun to the head of the American people.”
A debt default would indeed cause a recession should the U.S. federal government, a major borrower of funds that investors across the world generally considered to be stable, fail to repay obligations. The national debt, which exceeded the $31.4 trillion debt limit this year to reach $31.7 trillion, is a source of persistent financial risk and a damper on economic growth.
The commander-in-chief <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-have-done-our-part-mccarthy-blasts-biden-after-first-debt-ceiling-negotiation-in-months" target="_blank" rel="noopener">discussed</a> potential mechanisms to increase the debt limit with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) at the White House on Tuesday. Biden said in <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2023/05/09/remarks-by-president-biden-on-debt-ceiling-negotiations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remarks</a> of his own that he found the meeting to be “productive,” while McCarthy <a href="https://www.speaker.gov/speaker-mccarthys-response-after-white-house-meeting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commented</a> that he “did not find progress” in the discussions.
Jean-Pierre issued the statement to take credit for the Biden administration’s purported efforts to decrease inflation, which increased 4.9% year-over-year as of last month, according to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/headline-inflation-ticks-downward-as-some-product-categories-continue-to-surge" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from the Bureau of Labor Statistics released on Wednesday. She noted that price levels have decreased substantially “since last summer” even as inflation remains between three times and four times higher than rates seen at the start of the administration.
“Prices at the grocery store have actually come down the last two months, providing some welcome breathing room for families,” she continued. “While we have more work to do to lower costs for families, the President’s Inflation Reduction Act is already working to lower the cost of prescription drugs, health care, and home energy costs.”

Real average weekly earnings, which consider the impact of inflationary pressures on wages, meanwhile witnessed a 1.1% year-over-year decline, thereby constraining household budgets and decreasing purchasing power, according to more <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/realer.nr0.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Jean-Pierre nevertheless claimed that the Biden administration is “creating good jobs you can raise a family on in communities throughout the country.”
Americans are more pessimistic about their finances than at any time since the Great Recession: some 50% of respondents in a February <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/more-americans-say-they-are-worse-off-financially-than-any-other-time-since-the-great-recession" target="_blank" rel="noopener">survey</a> from Gallup said they are “financially worse off” compared to one year ago, while 35% believe they are “financially better off.” Low-income Americans were the most likely to say they are worse off since last year.

White House Claims House Republicans Could Cause The 'Single Biggest Threat' To The Economy

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> really should not be throwing around the word &#8220;deadbeat&#8221; the same week that his son Hunter is in Arkansas court trying to lower child support payments for his lovechild whom he had with a stripper. Biden the senior has yet to recognize that the little girl even exists.
Nonetheless, Biden has never really been one known for self-awareness. Twice this week, while discussing America&#8217;s looming debt default, the president has said that America will pay its bill because the U.S. is &#8220;not a deadbeat nation.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

It seems that is actually a White House talking point, not just an errant thought from the elderly fool because White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also used that same exact phrase on Wednesday:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Jean-Pierre: &quot;We can not be a deadbeat nation&#8230;This country has always paid our debt!&quot;<a href="https://t.co/Ne3LoXvZ0r">pic.twitter.com/Ne3LoXvZ0r</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Those comments came just days after the president&#8217;s latchkey son, Hunter, made his appearance in court, arguing that he is too poor to pay the court-ordered child support to his baby mama, Linden Roberts. He is a struggling artist after all.
As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/karine-jean-pierre-stonewalls-questions-on-presidents-unacknowledged-arkansas-grandchild" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, Hunter&#8217;s daughter lives with her mother in Arkansas. Roberts is currently battling with the president’s son in court over $20,000 monthly paternity payments, which Hunter is seeking to have decreased.
Roberts’ legal team accused Hunter in court on Monday of failing to supply necessary financial records to get that payment lowered, The Daily Wire noted. Roberts’ attorneys have argued that Hunter should produce his records — including assets such as cars and houses and the amount of money he has made selling amateur artwork — to prove that his paternity payments should be decreased.

Independence County Circuit Court Judge Holly Meyer scolded Hunter in the courtroom for providing overly redacted records, saying their ability to keep certain information out of the public eye was “being somewhat abused.&#8221;
Likewise, Roberts is also attempting to get her daughter&#8217;s last name legally changed to “Biden.” The Biden family name is “now synonymous with being well educated, successful, financially acute, and politically powerful,” Roberts’ attorneys wrote in a court filing in December.
But it seems that Hunter and his infamous father want nothing to do with her.
When the president&#8217;s press secretary was asked about the paternity case and the Biden family&#8217;s complete non-acknowledgment of the four-year-old, Jean-Pierre was curt and stopped the conversation.
“I wanted to ask about the trial going on in Arkansas with Hunter Biden and the child support. Are the president and first lady monitoring that? And how come they haven’t acknowledged the seventh grandchild?” asked Emily Goodwin, U.S. politics reporter for the U.K.’s Daily Mail.
“I’m not going to speak to that from here,” answered Jean-Pierre.

Just last week, the president bragged that he had six grandchildren whom he is &#8220;crazy about.&#8221; He doesn&#8217;t have half a dozen, but seven grandkids. The youngest of the brood is treated like dirt, it appears to anybody with a conscience.
Perhaps no surprise, the lapdog media has been generally absent on this entire story. Last Saturday, the White House Press Association awarded a Washington Post reporter with a reward for how &#8220;he captured the spirit of Joe Biden, particularly with stories about the President’s brother and how his Catholic faith influenced his strategic vision of the office.&#8221;
Fox News’ Rachel Campos-Duffy, a mother of eight, put it best with her response to that unbelievable award: &#8220;Joe Biden’s Catholic faith?!!?? What a joke #WHCD is! Joe Biden is a deadbeat grandpa (poor Navy Biden) who sold out his country w/ Hunter, &amp; is the most radical pro abortion president in US history.

Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kyrsten-sinema" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kyrsten Sinema</a> (I-AZ) slammed White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre this week for falsely claiming that the U.S. southern border was secure, saying that her comments were “just factually not true.”
Jean-Pierre had <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2023/05/01/press-briefing-by-press-secretary-karine-jean-pierre-29/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> on Monday that “the actions that this president has taken” had led to a 90% decrease in illegal immigration.
Sinema hit back at those comments during an appearance on Fox News&#8217; &#8220;Special Report&#8221; with anchor Bret Baier.
&#8220;Obviously, the border is not secure. Anyone with eyes can see that,&#8221; Sinema said. &#8220;And anyone who lives in a border state like I do, born and raised in Arizona, actually takes offense at comments like that because they&#8217;re just factually not true. The reality is, is that border communities in my state are suffering already, and that&#8217;s before the end of Title 42.&#8221;
&#8220;Just last week, I held a hearing in our border subcommittee and brought a Republican mayor and a Democratic mayor, both representing small border towns from Arizona,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And we just asked them, what is it like every day in your town? And Bret, there are high-speed chases going on through the city of Sierra Vista right now with young teens driving cars and sometimes being killed or causing the death of others transporting drugs and other migrants through these communities.&#8221;
&#8220;It is not secure,&#8221; Sinema added. &#8220;It is not safe.&#8221;
Sinema later said that she believes that Biden could at least start trying to address the crisis he is accused of creating by &#8220;enforcing the laws that are on the books.&#8221;
&#8220;There are a lot of bipartisan plans that we&#8217;ve been working on with some of our colleagues in the Senate and the House that could actually make a difference,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It would be most helpful if the administration would start by actually enforcing the laws that are on the books, that would provide confidence, particularly to Republican members of the House and the Senate, that we could get something done.&#8221;

Kyrsten Sinema

House Freedom Caucus Chair Scott Perry (R-PA) blasted White House Press Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/karine-jean-pierre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karine Jean-Pierre</a> after she said that lawmakers have “limited time” to raise the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/debt-ceiling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">debt ceiling</a>, an assertion which comes after the <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/biden-administration?_gl=1*gsk6ab*_ga*NzUzNDA5ODIxLjE2NzkzMjkzNzM.*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTY4MzEzMDgyNy4xNzUuMS4xNjgzMTM1MDkzLjM0LjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden administration</a> delayed negotiations on the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/budget" target="_blank" rel="noopener">matter</a> for several weeks.
The debt ceiling, a policy established by <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Congress</a> that prevents the federal government from spending beyond the predetermined national debt limit of $31.4 trillion, surpassed that threshold earlier this year. House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kevin-mccarthy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin McCarthy</a> (R-CA) and President Joe Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-takes-adversarial-posture-toward-mccarthy-ahead-of-budget-cut-meeting-heres-what-they-want-him-to-do" target="_blank" rel="noopener">met</a> in early February to discuss possible mechanisms to raise or eliminate the debt limit, but the commander-in-chief delayed further meetings for several months.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/yellen-warns-of-debt-default-as-early-as-june-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warned</a> on Monday that the nation could face a default as soon as the first day of June unless the debt limit is amended. Jean-Pierre therefore <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2023/05/02/press-briefing-by-press-secretary-karine-jean-pierre-30/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asserted</a> in a Tuesday press briefing that McCarthy is seeking to “hold the full faith and credit of the United States hostage” by insisting that any move to increase the debt ceiling should occur alongside meaningful spending cuts or limits upon future expenditures.
“Given the limited time Congress now has, it is clear the only practical path to avoid default is for Congress to suspend the debt limit without conditions,” she commented.
Perry reacted to the claim by noting that time to increase the debt ceiling is only limited because of the administration’s refusal to negotiate. “This is like a pyromaniac starting a fire and watching it burn for months suddenly declaring it needs to be put out while simultaneously pouring more gas on it,” the lawmaker told The Daily Wire. “Americans are fed up with economic illiteracy of a president who’s been willfully negligent and disconnected from the harm he’s caused our families, workers, and job creators.”
Members of the House Freedom Caucus, a bloc of conservative Republicans, have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-freedom-caucus-chairman-responds-as-white-house-lobs-spurious-claims-at-spending-cut-proposal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> they would consider voting to raise the debt ceiling in exchange for a framework which returns expenditures to fiscal year 2022 levels, raises the debt ceiling only for the next year, and limits annual spending growth to 1% over the next decade. McCarthy unveiled a budget <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kevin-mccarthy-unveils-plan-to-responsibly-raise-debt-limit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proposal</a> which mirrored the framework and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gop-led-house-passes-mccarthys-plan-to-raise-debt-limit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> the House last week.

Some lawmakers in the House Freedom Caucus previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/here-are-the-concessions-house-speaker-kevin-mccarthy-gave-to-republican-holdouts-to-win-their-support" target="_blank" rel="noopener">refused</a> to grant McCarthy control of the gavel earlier this year unless he promised to support a budget which does not allow the debt ceiling to rise. The budget framework passed last week is expected to reduce deficits by $4.8 trillion over the next decade, according to an <a href="https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/2023-04/59102-Arrington-Letter_LSG%20Act_4-25-2023.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">analysis</a> from the Congressional Budget Office.
Jean-Pierre added that Biden called a meeting with senior House and Senate lawmakers for next week in order to “discuss the urgency and importance of avoiding default.” White House officials will propose creating a “separate process to address the budget and appropriations, because we have long said we welcome a conversation about spending priorities.”
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) has also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-deficiency-of-leadership-manchin-calls-out-biden-for-not-negotiating-with-republicans-on-debt-limit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criticized</a> Biden for refusing to negotiate with McCarthy and other Republican leaders, calling the move a “deficiency of leadership” and urging both sides to reach an agreement. “For the sake of the country, I urge President Biden to come to the table, propose a plan for real and substantive spending cuts and deficit reduction, and negotiate now.”

White House Press Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/karine-jean-pierre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karine Jean-Pierre</a> refused to answer questions about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a> and his four-year-old daughter Navy, President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>’s unacknowledged seventh grandchild, on Tuesday.
Navy lives with her mother, former stripper Lunden Roberts, in Arkansas. Roberts is currently battling with the president’s son in court over $20,000 monthly paternity payments, which Hunter is seeking to have decreased, according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/01/politics/hunter-biden-deposition-court-hearing/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>.
Asked about the paternity case and the White House’s failure to acknowledge Navy, Jean-Pierre refused to answer.
“I wanted to ask about the trial going on in Arkansas with Hunter Biden and the child support. Are the president and first lady monitoring that? And how come they haven’t acknowledged the seventh grandchild?” asked Emily Goodwin, U.S. politics reporter for the U.K.’s Daily Mail.

The president and his son have repeatedly refused to acknowledge Navy, even after a court-ordered paternity test proved that Navy is Hunter’s daughter. The president bragged about his grandchildren last week during a “take your child to work day” event at the White House. Biden listed six grandchildren, leaving off Navy.

“The best part of it all, I have six grandchildren, and I’m crazy about them. I speak to them every single day,” Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-falsely-claims-he-has-six-grandchildren-leaves-off-hunters-arkansas-daughter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “Not a joke,” he added.
Hunter appeared in an Arkansas courtroom on Monday after Roberts’ legal team accused him of refusing to comply with a court order to produce fulsome financial records. Roberts’ attorneys have argued that Hunter should produce his records — including assets such as cars and houses and the amount of money he has made selling amateur artwork — to prove that his paternity payments should be decreased.
Independence County Circuit Court Judge Holly Meyer scolded Hunter in the courtroom for providing overly redacted records, saying their ability to keep certain information out of the public eye was “being somewhat abused,” according to CNN.
In addition to the legal battle over paternity payments, Roberts is also attempting to get Navy’s last name, currently the same as her mother’s, legally changed to “Biden.” The Biden family name is “now synonymous with being well educated, successful, financially acute, and politically powerful,” Roberts’ attorneys wrote in a court filing in December.
Roberts’ attorneys said that changing Navy’s last name to her father’s would make her “known to the world” as a “member of the prestigious Biden family,” according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/02/us/hunter-biden-child-arkansas.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a>.
Hunter’s legal team is fighting Roberts’ request. Hunter’s attorneys wrote in a response that Roberts had not shown that changing Navy’s name was in her best interest.
“The child should have the opportunity for input at a time when the disparagement of the Biden name is not at its height,” Hunter’s attorneys wrote. “The notoriety would no doubt rob this child of peaceful existence.”

White House Press Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/karine-jean-pierre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karine Jean-Pierre</a> grew visibly irritated with Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy on Tuesday as Doocy sought to get clarification about an outlandish statement that Jean-Pierre made earlier this week.
Jean-Pierre had <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2023/05/01/press-briefing-by-press-secretary-karine-jean-pierre-29/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> on Monday that &#8220;the actions that this president has taken&#8221; have led to a 90% decrease in illegal immigration.

Jean-Pierre proceeded to interrupt Doocy as he attempted to finish his question. Doocy said that federal immigration officials have indicated there have been &#8220;136,000 people more this fiscal year so far.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m about to answer you if the dramatics could come down just a little bit,&#8221; she said. &#8220;If the dramatics could come down a little bit.”
&#8220;What&#8217;s dramatic about asking a question about …&#8221; Doocy asked before Jean-Pierre again cut him off.
&#8220;Okay, I&#8217;m going to answer, so I was speaking to the parolee program, as you know, the president put in place a parolee program to deal with, to deal with certain countries on ways that we can limit illegal migration and we have seen the data has shown us that is gone down by more than 90%,&#8221; she claimed. &#8220;That was what I was speaking to.&#8221;

Karine Jean-Pierre Erupts When Pressed Over Claims That Biden Has Lowered Illegal Immigration By 90%

Peter Doocy

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre left out key details regarding the manhunt that is going on in Texas for an illegal alien accused of murdering five of his neighbors late last week.
Law enforcement officials say that 38-year-old Francisco Oropesa went on a rampage, shooting his neighbors after they asked him to stop shooting his gun because they had a baby inside that was trying to sleep. Immigration officials told Fox News that the Mexican national is an illegal alien that has been deported from the U.S. five times.
Jean-Pierre said that the incident was an example of &#8220;horrific act of gun violence in America.&#8221;
&#8220;As the man hunt for the suspected assailant continues, we urge the public to heed all guidance from law enforcement officials and stay safe,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Federal law enforcement agencies have been providing assistance and support to local law enforcement as they work to respond to this tragedy and and look and locate the suspect.&#8221;
&#8220;The President was briefed on the shooting on Saturday morning, and he and the First Lady are praying for those killed in the attack, for their surviving loved ones, and for the broader Cleveland community,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;But the President believes prayers alone are not enough. Congress must act because what makes tragedies like this one all the more heart wrenching is the fact that it is entirely within our power to take these weapons of war off our streets.&#8221;
Jean-Pierre claimed that the gun owners supported restricting gun rights and that &#8220;Congress must act without delay.&#8221;
Jean-Pierre made no mention of the fact that the suspect is an illegal alien who has been previously deported as the Biden administration continues to deal with a historic illegal immigration crisis that has erupted on their watch.
Jean-Pierre also did not address what specific measures could have prevented the tragedy since there is no legal way that the suspect could have obtained the firearm.

President Joe Biden and his team have finally started evacuating non-government official Americans out of war-torn Sudan — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/utterly-useless-biden-abandons-thousands-of-americans-in-war-torn-sudan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">days after the rest of the civilized world</a> began doing so.
On Saturday, the Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/sudan-americans-biden-white-house-evacuation-993ef30bf43320023dc7d8d5ee202bcf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that buses carrying several hundred American citizens finally reached Port Sudan as drones overhead kept a watchful eye against any malign actors. Now, those Americans have to find their way out of the country on ships departing for peaceful land, but the U.S. government is reportedly working with Saudi Arabia to send a ship to the port to rescue the Americans.
Sudan has been under heavy conflict since April 15. Two Americans have died. The U.S. was able to evacuate its embassy staff, but told thousands of other Americans that they were on their own if they wanted to flee the fighting. Incredulously, the White House could not explain this week why other nations were able to send planes to Sudan&#8217;s capital to evacuate their citizens, but the U.S. was caught flatfooted.
On Thursday, a reporter pressed White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for any kind of answer that could explain the disparity between America&#8217;s response and the rest of the free world.
“Given the President’s direction and what you’re saying right now, a number of other countries have evacuated citizens over the course of the last several days and taken advantage of the ceasefire the U.S. helped put into place,” a reporter <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2023/04/27/press-briefing-by-press-secretary-karine-jean-pierre-28/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during the daily press briefing. “The U.S. still has not. What is different about your risk assessment right now or security assessment than what other countries are looking at as they’ve gone in and gotten their people out?”
KJP chalked it up to intelligence briefings that weren&#8217;t available to the public.
“And we have been clear on what the President — laying out, which is what I did — laying out, at the President’s direction, what we have done, how we move forward, how we worked with allies and partners to get Americans out,” Jean-Pierre said. “And we’ve been pretty clear about this for the past several months, for the past year, what — the situation in Sudan. And so, we’re going to continue to have those conversations.”
She added, “I’m certainly not going to get into any — any intelligence or how that’s come about or how we come to certain — certain kind of intelligence, surveillance, or reconnaissance.”
It is unclear how the intelligence changed so much within 48 hours that the State Department decided they could send some assistance to the U.S. citizens stranded there. From an outsider&#8217;s perspective, it seems more likely that media pressure forced the Biden administration&#8217;s hand.
Better later than never, but with thousands more to go, how is this worth celebrating? It is another sign of the incompetence and &#8220;Johnny Come Lately&#8221; decision-making of the Biden administration.
