Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy pressed Security Council spokesman John Kirby on President Joe Biden&#8217;s Iran policy, suggesting that he might want to take it a step further than simply the word &#8220;don&#8217;t&#8221; going forward.
At Monday&#8217;s press briefing, the first since Iran launched a direct attack on Israel over the weekend, Doocy pointed to the fact that Iran had acted in defiance of Biden&#8217;s warning — &#8220;Don&#8217;t&#8221; — issued late last week.

&#8220;John, has President Biden considered maybe beefing up the public Iran posture to be more than just one word?&#8221; Doocy asked Kirby.
&#8220;You — you’re referring to &#8216;don&#8217;t&#8217;?&#8221; Kirby clarified.
&#8220;Yeah,&#8221; Doocy replied.
&#8220;And so, let&#8217;s — talk about —&#8221; Kirby said.
&#8220;Because he said &#8216;don’t&#8217; and they did it anyway,&#8221; Doocy added. &#8220;So now what?&#8221;
&#8220;Let&#8217;s talk about — what we did. Peter. Let&#8217;s talk about &#8216;don’t&#8217; and did,&#8221; Kirby continued. &#8220;Let&#8217;s talk about Saturday night. He made it clear that he didn&#8217;t want to see escalation in the region.&#8221;
Doocy interrupted, saying, &#8220;And yet, there was.&#8221;
&#8220;Eh, let me finish. He added military resources to the region right after October 7 and then, when we had an inkling that this kind of thing was coming, he added even more military resources to the region, more destroyers that were capable of shooting down ballistic missiles, fighters — fighter squadron that was able to shoot down drones and that&#8217;s what we did,&#8221; Kirby said.
Kirby went on to argue that Iran had &#8220;utterly failed&#8221; in its attempt to attack Israel, noting that despite the barrage of hundreds of drones and missiles, only a few had made it through Israel&#8217;s defenses.
&#8220;Yes, they fired an unprecedented amount of munitions, but how much of a success did they have, Peter? None. Zero,&#8221; Kirby added. &#8220;It was an embarrassing failure for the Supreme Leader, for the IRGC.&#8221;

White House Press Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/karine-jean-pierre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karine Jean-Pierre</a> appeared to short-circuit during Wednesday&#8217;s briefing, struggling to come up with an answer when pressed on President Joe Biden&#8217;s decision not to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as previously promised.
Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy prefaced his question with a reminder that Biden had promised to refill the SPR, claiming that he was only draining it to compensate for the spike in gas prices that he had blamed on Russian President Vladimir Putin and his February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
&#8220;First, the — so, you guys started draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to try and help with ‘the Putin Price Hike’ a few years ago. Said you were going to refill it. But now it doesn&#8217;t seem like that&#8217;s happening. Why?&#8221; Doocy asked.

Jean-Pierre delivered a halting response, shifting responsibility to the Department of Energy and suggesting that the issue was not so much whether or not it would be refilled, but how that would eventually come about.
&#8220;Well, from — I believe the Department of Energy is — is responsible for — for that particular component — is refilling — refilling that, so I would refer to the Department of Energy.

Daniel Turner, founder and executive director for Power The Future, released a statement on the move, saying, &#8220;[President] Joe Biden drained the SPR for political reasons, cut our domestic production for his climate agenda, and now he’s leaving our critical reserve more vulnerable because he’s incompetent. As a result, Americans are paying more at the pump, more at the grocery store and our SPR is less full during a time of rising turmoil in the Middle East.&#8221;

KJP On Special Counsel Noting Biden’s Memory Issues: ‘That Part Of The Report Does Not Live In Reality’

Biden Administration

Executive

Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy challenged Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre directly during Wednesday&#8217;s daily briefing, asking whether President Joe Biden&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-calls-failed-virginia-dem-candidate-terry-mcauliffe-the-real-governor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent comments</a> amounted to joking about election denial.
Doocy referenced Biden&#8217;s recent rally in Manassas, Virginia — during which he referred to failed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe as &#8220;the real governor&#8221; despite his 2021 loss to Republican Glenn Youngkin — and pressed Jean-Pierre for a response.
&#8220;Is election denying a joke now?&#8221; Doocy asked.
&#8220;What do you mean?&#8221; Jean-Pierre asked. &#8220;You have to say more than just to make a random statement.&#8221;
&#8220;Why did the President say, &#8216;Hello Virginia and the real governor, Terry McAuliffe&#8217;?&#8221; Doocy clarified.
&#8220;He was making a joke about Terry Mc — he was making a joke,&#8221; Jean-Pierre relied.
&#8220;What’s the joke?&#8221; Doocy asked.
&#8220;He was — I mean, if you play it back, it&#8217;s clearly that the president was making a joke,&#8221;  Jean-Pierre said again.
&#8220;What’s the joke?&#8221; Doocy asked again, to which Jean-Pierre said, &#8220;He was making a joke about McAuliffe&#8217;s previous term as governor.&#8221;

&#8220;He did not deny. He did not deny it.

Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy pressed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/john-kirby" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Kirby</a>, the National Security Council&#8217;s strategic communications director, on the Biden administration&#8217;s lawsuit against Texas.
Doocy&#8217;s questions followed the recent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-authorizes-biden-admin-to-tear-down-texas-razor-wire-securing-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Supreme Court decision</a> stating that Biden&#8217;s Border Patrol could remove razor wire placed along the border by Texas officials hoping to slow the flow of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/texas-arresting-illegal-immigrants-as-it-continues-to-defy-biden-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">illegal immigrants</a> across the southern border.
&#8220;Why are you guys making it easier for people to enter the country illegally?&#8221; Doocy asked.
&#8220;I don’t believe we are,&#8221; Kirby protested. &#8220;Why do you think we are?&#8221;

Kirby argued that Border Patrol agents had to cut the razor wire in order to do their jobs, but Doocy continued: &#8220;Well, you won in court. So, now what? The Border Patrol union president is saying the Supreme Court&#8217;s decision is going to undoubtedly encourage more illegal immigration. Do you guys know better than the Border Patrol union?&#8221;
&#8220;The Border Patrol needed access, and that&#8217;s why we sued to get rid of that razor wire, so that they could do their jobs,&#8221; Kirby said again, complaining that House Republicans were preventing the Biden administration from getting the resources and additional manpower necessary to secure the border.

&#8220;Does razor wire work?&#8221; Doocy asked then.
&#8220;Does razor wire work for what?&#8221; Kirby asked in response. &#8220;Does it work for the Border Patrol to allow them to have the access they need to be able to — to better process people that are trying to get across the border? I don&#8217;t think so, and that&#8217;s why we asked for it to be removed.&#8221;

And you guys just sued and won to remove it.&#8221;
Kirby once again claimed that the Biden administration had sued to remove the razor wire in order to ensure that Border Patrol agents had the necessary access to do their jobs.
Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) agreed with Doocy&#8217;s take on the situation, however, saying, &#8220;Texas used razor wire to secure the border. The Biden Admin then sent a cease &amp; desist order. Arizona used shipping containers to secure the border. The Biden Admin then sued Arizona. Joe Biden is actively fighting against efforts to secure the border.&#8221;

&#8220;The people in this country making violent, anti-Semitic threats, are they domestic terrorists?&#8221; Doocy asked.
Kirby, who is currently serving as strategic communications director for the National Security Council, suggested that designation should be left up to law enforcement: &#8220;I don&#8217;t know that we&#8217;re classifying people as domestic terrorists for that.

In addition to the added concern that people involved in the Israel-Hamas war could potentially cross the southern border undetected, a number of individuals who are on the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/border-patrol-reports-surge-in-illegal-aliens-on-terror-watch-list" target="_blank" rel="noopener">terror watch list</a> have already done so.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dodged a question on Monday about the administration potentially recommending that Americans have no more than two alcoholic drinks per week.
A reporter asked Jean-Pierre about recent reports that Dr. George Koob, who serves as President Joe Biden&#8217;s alcohol czar, may make the recommendation official.
&#8220;Does President Biden want to limit Americans to two beers a week?&#8221; the reporter asked.
Jean-Pierre said she had no idea what the reporter was talking about and once the reporter explained the situation she said that she would defer to the experts.
&#8220;Let me tell you what I’m not going to get involved in — in that in that question right there,&#8221; she responded.  &#8220;I — I have no idea. I’ve not seen the data. I cannot speak to this. I will leave it to the experts and not weigh in.&#8221;

Jean-Pierre Dodges Question About Admin Potentially Recommending Americans Cut Back On Alcohol

White House

Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy said that he received a call from the White House after President Joe Biden scolded him on Wednesday, telling him that his question was a &#8220;lousy&#8221; one.
Doocy approached the president during an appearance in New Mexico — as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-says-the-grand-canyon-is-one-of-earths-nine-wonders-there-are-seven" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden travels</a> to tout &#8220;Bidenomics&#8221; and the climate provisions that were part of his signature Inflation Reduction Act — and asked him about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-hero-and-new-talking-point-arises-to-protect-biden-amid-devon-archer-claims" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent reports</a> concerning his apparent interaction with his son Hunter Biden&#8217;s foreign business partners.

Doocy asked about testimony given by former Hunter Biden business partner and friend Devon Archer – who said that then-Vice President Biden had spoken to a number of Hunter&#8217;s associates via speaker phone – and Biden snapped at Doocy, telling him that his question was &#8220;lousy&#8221; and tried to walk away.
Doocy pushed back, asking, &#8220;What makes it a lousy question?&#8221;
&#8220;Because it&#8217;s not true,&#8221; the president said, and he left.
But George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said what was truly telling about that exchange was what the White House did immediately afterward.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
&#8230;Doocy said that the White House called him as soon as he made it to his car to refute the specifics of the allegations on discussing business.

Turley explained in a column linked in his X post that Biden&#8217;s continued insistence that he did not talk to Hunter about business or have any knowledge about his foreign business dealings — despite mounting evidence to the contrary — could prove dangerous for him if Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith continues down his current path.
The <a href="https://jonathanturley.org/2023/08/09/how-donald-trumps-indictment-could-backfire-on-joe-biden/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">upshot</a>, Turley said, was that if former President Donald Trump could be prosecuted for &#8220;knowingly lying&#8221; about whether or not he had won the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden could potentially be impeached for &#8220;knowingly lying&#8221; about Hunter&#8217;s foreign business dealings.

Peter Doocy Reveals What The White House Did After Biden Scolded Him

Fox News

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.
&#8220;You said yesterday that when it comes to illegal migration, you&#8217;ve seen it come down by more than 90%,&#8221; Doocy said, following up on her prior remarks. &#8220;Where did that number come from?&#8221;
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;
When Doocy attempted to get further clarification from Jean-Pierre, she immediately cut him off and began to talk over him. &#8220;No! I&#8217;m, we&#8217;re gonna go, we&#8217;re gonna move.&#8221;

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

Immigration

White House Press Secretary <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/karine-jean-pierre/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karine Jean-Pierre</a> confirmed on Wednesday that President Joe Biden planned to meet with three Tennessee lawmakers who led an anti-gun protest inside the State House — but had no plans to meet with the victims of the Covenant School shooting that sparked the protest.
Fox News White House correspondent <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/peter-doocy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Peter Doocy</a> pressed Jean-Pierre on the issue, and while she did say that Biden <a href="https://apnews.com/article/justin-pearson-jones-expelled-tennessee-lawmakers-protests-3b3b0fa44cd00220fed3c77aec372011" target="_blank" rel="noopener">planned to meet</a> with the &#8220;Tennessee Three,&#8221; she had &#8220;nothing to report&#8221; when he asked about any potential plans to invite the shooting victims.

&#8220;So, Monday you&#8217;re going to have three of the lawmakers who protested —&#8221; Doocy began.
&#8220;Peacefully protested,&#8221; Jean-Pierre interrupted.
&#8220;— who peacefully protested after the Nashville Covenant School shooting,&#8221; Doocy continued. &#8220;Have any of the victims or the victims&#8217; families been invited to the White House?&#8221;
&#8220;I don&#8217;t have anything to read out to you about any invite,&#8221; Jean-Pierre replied.

Doocy responded with just one word: &#8220;Why?&#8221;
&#8220;I just don&#8217;t have anything at this time to read out to you — any invite,&#8221; Jean-Pierre said again before pivoting to say that the president&#8217;s focus was on &#8220;getting things done&#8221; about gun violence.
She went on to explain that was why he planned to meet with legislators who were stepping up to take the kind of action the White House was pushing with regard to additional gun control measures.
&#8220;That&#8217;s why he continues to put pressure on Congress,&#8221; Jean-Pierre continued, accusing Republicans of not &#8220;showing courage&#8221; and demanding a ban on &#8220;assault weapons.&#8221;
The three Tennessee state legislators in question took part in an anti-gun protest that disrupted the legislative session, and two of them — Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson — were expelled from their seats while Gloria Johnson, whose role in the protest was less active, escaped expulsion.
Jones and Pearson were reappointed to their respective seats within days, and have since engaged in another protest — during which Jones carried around a child-sized coffin as a prop.

&#8220;On the China spycraft, why did President Biden say about the China spycraft in February, &#8216;We were able to protect sensitive sites against collection&#8217; if that&#8217;s not true?&#8221; Doocy asked.
Jean-Pierre refused to even address the question, suggesting instead that there was a possibility that it was the reporting that was in error rather than President Biden. &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to go into — dive into any reporting. That&#8217;s not something I&#8217;m going to do, I&#8217;m not going to confirm any reporting &#8230;&#8221; she said.
CNN was one of a number of outlets to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/03/politics/chinese-spy-balloon/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> earlier this week that despite the Biden administration&#8217;s claims to the contrary, the balloon was able to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chinese-spy-balloon-collected-intelligence-from-sensitive-military-sites-sent-back-to-beijing-in-real-time-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">collect data</a> and &#8220;was able to transmit information back to Beijing in real time.&#8221; Of additional concern was the fact that they had not yet determined whether or not the technology onboard the balloon would have allowed for the data to delete immediately after transmission — which could potentially mean that China was able to retrieve and then immediately delete data without the United States ever learning what it was.
Doocy continued to press Jean-Pierre on the subject, asking, &#8220;The DNI said today that the U.S. does not appear to have provided critical new insights to the People&#8217;s Republic of China. So, is it they didn&#8217;t provide any new critical insights or they didn&#8217;t get anything?&#8221;
&#8220;We knew the flight path of the balloon before it crossed the United States &#8230; we took precautions,&#8221; Jean-Pierre replied, going on to repeat Biden&#8217;s claim that the administration had prevented the balloon from accessing any sensitive information.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In the piece, Doocy shared that he had gotten some name suggestions at a recent White House press briefing, too.
&#8220;During a briefing last month, the press secretary gave me permission to name the baby Karine and I joked we were considering naming the baby after the president: &#8216;Joe-sephine,'&#8221; the Fox News reporter shared. &#8220;But we can report here for the first time her name is Bridget Blake Doocy.&#8221;
Vaughn admitted she was actually on her way to Capitol Hill when her water broke but said she was &#8220;prepared.&#8221;
&#8220;I knew where all the offices were for senators who used to be doctors,&#8221; the Fox Business reporter shared. &#8220;Sen. [John] Barrasso [Wyoming physician of the year] saw me the day before I went into labor and told me to reach out if I ever needed anything. Luckily, I didn&#8217;t have to call him to catch the baby!&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;ve only been a mom for one week but it&#8217;s already the best assignment I&#8217;ve ever had,&#8221; she added. &#8220;She&#8217;s stolen the show!&#8221;
&#8220;I didn&#8217;t realize this until now, but I&#8217;ve been training for motherhood my entire career by trying to get lawmakers on Capitol Hill to respond to my questions,&#8221; Vaughn continued.  &#8220;This job isn&#8217;t much different. &#8216;Baby Bridget &#8211; can you give us a comment? Are you hungry or gassy, or both?&#8217; Trying to get an on-the-record answer is tough!&#8221;
&#8220;Fox and Friends&#8221; host Steve Doocy, Peter&#8217;s dad, said he and wife Kathy are looking forward to going &#8220;from rule-makers to rule breakers&#8221; as he congratulated his son.
&#8220;When I wrote a book on fatherhood, I highlighted a famous quote that, &#8216;There are three stages of a man&#8217;s life: he believes in Santa Claus, he doesn&#8217;t believe in Santa Claus, he is Santa Claus.&#8217; Peter, congratulations, you just made it to fatherhood&#8217;s third round.&#8221;
