peter ducey whose official name is our
very own peter ducey struggling to get a
clear answer from new white house press
secretary karine jean-pierre
how does
raising taxes on corporations lower the
cost of gas the cost of a used car the
cost of food for everyday americans
fights inflation for the long haul right
and that's what we're talking about
that's why we're talking about
lowering inflation here and adds to the
historic deficit reduction the president
is achieving by asking the richest
taxpayers and corporations to pay their
fair share that is what we're talking
about joe concho is here to give us a
much clearer response joe she was asked
to explain something that can't be
explained
you can explain it if you're going to be
honest right about inflation and
inflation ultimately is passed on to the
consumer right and in this case well in
terms of like cost of goods and so on
right somebody's going to pay for it
it's going to be us yes i know we're
only two press briefings in right but
she was deputy press secretary for a
while so she does have some experience
she filled in for gensake at times but
the only word that comes to mind is
amateur at this hour or in other words
excruciating because this has been very
difficult to watch because here you have
somebody who is reading off of
pre-written notes right and she gets a
question and then goes to the answer and
she reads it verbatim it's one thing to
glance down at notes of course that's a
lot of stuff that you have to know as
the white house press secretary the
president's spokesperson but in this
case it's just so awkward to watch and
you end up getting to these points where
it's almost like listening to kamala
harris and jesse waters uses a great
analogy where he says it's like the term
paper you had in high school and you
have a word count you have to get to
it's like almost you saying if i give
enough words here maybe that will
satisfy the answer this can't continue
somebody has to step in and say you got
to be more prepared without notes joe
was it being unprepared or is that
literally that word salad sort of the
white house position on inflation
blaming billionaires for not paying
taxes which is the biggest non-sequitur
it has nothing to do with inflation if
that's the case then the messaging
people need to be fired right yeah and
and who are the messenging people at
this point if jansaki is no longer there
to be here mentor then is it ron claim
the white house press secretary that's
saying okay say this when they ask that
that's why at this point the president
is polling in the 20s when it comes to
his handling of inflation because if
that's the message that's a big loser
particularly in the class yeah the
reason the only way that you could tie
inflation um to increasing the corporate
tax rate is if you if the biden
administration is saying tax
corporations so much that they are
forced to fire people and then those
fires those people don't have money and
then inflation goes down which i don't
think is the message that the bidet
administration is going for um we got to
get to this though because um pxeth our
our very own pete seth interviewed first
lady melania trump the interview aired
on fox and friends on over the weekend
and then fox and friends first the view
was watching that interview as well they
talked about how the first lady was
never invited to be on the cover of
vogue during her time in office here's
the views take on it watch this
i don't know if they would have sold as
many magazines if they had the first
lady melania trump on the magazine the
first lady to the a very unpopular
president i
have much more important things to do
and i did in the white house than being
on the cover of oak yes they mocked her
there
what patently horrible people and not
just
those on set but everybody in the
audience you know clapping right melania
trump speaks five languages okay you're
gonna start mocking her that's probably
four and a half more than most of the
view in terms of that cast speaks it's
not the show that we watched maybe 25
years ago when it launched and believe
it or not it's been on for 25 years
barbara walters right it had some
gravitas to it when barbara was there
now it's just this it's it's mean girls
except the mean girls are 50 something
60 something 70 something years old it's
a bad look don't attack first ladies in
general especially one who literally was
a model let's we got to remember that
she was a model you put models on the
cover of magazines but yeah none of your
vogue
i was i was zoolander i was supposed to
be zoolander
he does have a good blueprint that's
good you could be the stunt double on
the sequel joey thanks for waking up our
own joey thank you
our very own joe kancha
