Biden: Last News

The White House economic adviser, when grilled on concerns of a recession on Sunday, assured Americans that the answer to whether the Biden administration was doing everything possible to increase energy supply and drive down consumer prices is "unequivocally yes." In an interview on "Fox News Sunday," White House Council of Economic Advisers member Jared Bernstein provided his definition for recession and noted a $1.4 trillion deficit reduction this fiscal year, but host Shannon Bream interjected that the number is coming off massive COVID spending. Bernstein said noted that the figure is also influenced by receipts coming into the Treasury because of "how strong economy has been."  "We have an unemployment rate that is 3.5%.There is no recession that would prevail with that kind of unemployment rate.

Council of Economic Advisers Chair Cecilia Rouse touted the Inflation Reduction Act on Sunday and said Russian President Vladimir Putin was to blame for the high cost of food following the release of September's inflation numbers.

It is rare for any journalist to land an interview with President Biden, who has been historically hidden from the press in comparison to his predecessors. With just weeks left of 2022, the president has only given four televised sit-downs this year, most recently with CNN anchor Jake Tapper.  Last week, The Washington Post reported that anonymous federal agents allege they have "sufficient evidence" to charge Biden's son Hunter with tax and gun crimes.  During his interview with the president, Tapper allotted just one question about his embattled son in light of the latest developments.  "Personally and politically, how do you react to that?" Tapper asked on Tuesday.  Biden responded by reiterating how "proud" he was of his son, who he stressed has overcome his drug addiction and acknowledged the allegation that Hunter falsely claimed he was not addicted to drugs on his gun purchase application.  Tapper failed to ask any follow-up questions like whether he would pardon his son if criminal charges were brought.The anchor didn't even touch the looming questions over Hunter Biden's foreign business ties that could implicate his father, avoiding concerns about whether the president was involved in any of his son's financial dealings and if he himself ever received kickbacks.There were also no inquiries about revelations that several of Hunter Biden's associates visited the Obama-Biden White House even after Biden claimed on the campaign trail that he never talked business with his son.

Oversight is one of Congress’s most important functions. Without robust, regular examinations of government agencies and processes, we run the risk of waste and abuse of taxpayer funding.This is why the House Committee on Natural Resources has an entire subcommittee dedicated to oversight, where we investigate both agencies and organizations at large and specific individuals to ensure above board compliance with federal law.   When Republicans were in the majority in the 116th Congress, I served as the chairman of this subcommittee, and we investigated the National Resources Defense Council and others for their ties to China.The organizations’ deep ties with Chinese officials suggested potential violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act disclosure requirements.The American people have a right to know if these purported "environmental" groups are advocating for and lining their pockets with funding from one of the world’s top polluters.  This is exactly the kind of oversight that will remain a top priority for Republicans as part of our Commitment to America.

With a chocolate chip ice cream cone in his hand, Biden answered: "I’m not concerned about the strength of the dollar.

On national television, Biden administration spokesperson John Kirby mounted a feeble attempt to explain the president’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for the military. Kirby, a retired Navy admiral, had no acceptable answers when pressed about the administration’s "folly" and the perilous impact the mandate is already having on our national security. Remarkably, Kirby perpetuated the narrative that the military’s mandate must remain in place while admitting with a straight face that he was quarantined for 10 days due to his current bout with COVID-19, despite being vaccinated and double boosted.
