The Biden administration is doing its best to play both sides of the argument when it comes to the pro-Hamas protests in universities — and it’s not going unnoticed.
When White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was pressed on the issue by Fox News’ Peter Doocy, it was clear she did not know how to respond.
“I understand that President Biden historically has spoken very forcefully about anti-Semitism, but this week he’s not. He’s MIA. Is he that worried about losing the youth vote with these protesters?” Doocy asked.
“I’ll speak more broadly. I can’t speak to youth and support and voters, that’s not something I can do from here,” Jean-Pierre answered.
“The president has taken a lot of policy actions here, a lot that he knows that young people care about, and a lot of those actions are popular with those young folks,” she continued, noting that the president is offering the youth “breathing room” in regard to student debt.
She then went on to ramble about the climate crisis, which of course also had nothing to do with Doocy’s original question.
When questioned about whether or not Biden is playing both sides, she said, “No, he’s not doing a both sides scenario.”
Pat Gray doesn’t buy it for a second.
“You’re going to continue to lie and not answer questions that have been asked of you. That’s what you’re going to continue to do,” Gray says, annoyed.

Actor Mark Hamill of "Star Wars" fame, who has been an outspoken supporter of President Joe Biden, met with the president on Friday before appearing at the White House press briefing.
Hamill said that he called Biden "Mr. President," but Biden said Hamill could call him Joe. Hamill said he asked if he could call the president "Joebi-Wan Kenobi."
Hamill has previously posted the eyebrow-raising claim on social media that "Joe Biden is the best president we've ever had."
But while he has high praise for Biden, he has called it the "understatement of the century," to describe Donald Trump as the nation's worst president ever.

"May The First Not Quench Your Thirst For Biden's Re-election!" Hamill tweeted on Wednesday, May 1, adding the hashtag "#BidenHarris2024."
"May The Second Biden Administration Be As Productive and Successful As The 1st," he wrote on Thursday May 2.

On Friday, May 3rd, Hamill tweeted, "May The Third Be Absurd That The Guy Who Tried To Steal A Fair Election Is Allowed To Run Again."
Earlier this year, on March 5, he tweeted, "I voted for four more years of an orange-free Oval Office."

In an apparent play on Hamill's Friday White House visit and press briefing appearance, the Babylon Bee, a satire site, posted a piece titled, "Mark Hamill Joins Death Star Press Conference To Say What A Good Job He Thinks The Emperor Is Doing."

The White House is doing what it does best: gaslighting Americans into thinking that Thanksgiving inflation is not as bad as they think it is.
Karine Jean-Pierre took the opportunity to show the country a chart that claims that “this Thanksgiving, prices are down.”
According to the chart, airline tickets are down 13.2%, car rentals 9.2%, toys 3.7%, televisions 9.4%, eggs 22.2%, milk 1.6%, bacon 5.1% and fresh vegetables 2.2%.
“In fact, according to the American Farm Bureau, the cost of a Thanksgiving dinner fell this year,” Jean-Pierre said confidently, adding, “Lowering costs for Americans continues to be the president’s top economic priority.”
Stu Burguiere isn’t buying it.
“Now, you’re going to be shocked to hear that this is not the full story from Karine Jean-Pierre,” he says.
Stu notes that the average cost for a 10-person Thanksgiving dinner in 2021 was $53.31, and the average cost for the same dinner today is $61.17.
“It’s obviously way up from two years ago, but it’s slightly down from last year. And so the White House thought it was a good idea to come out and brag about that to you,” he says.
The price of a Thanksgiving dinner is down 4.5% from last year, but up 25% compared to 2019.
“Which, of course, would make a little bit more sense to compare it to, not the highest priced year in our history. But maybe the pre-pandemic year when things were normal and the other guy was president, that might be a good year to compare it to,” Stu says.

A Detroit synagogue president was found fatally stabbed outside her home Saturday morning — but the White House continues to claim there are “no credible threats” against Jewish Americans.
The woman was Samantha Woll, 40, who led the congregation of Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue. Glenn Beck is frustrated that the media, while it is reporting on it, isn’t getting the story straight.
“Here’s the thing. Our job is to try to get the story right, and you cannot get the story right if you are rushing to publish,” Glenn says.
“I could easily come on the air and play all the clips that Tlaib is spreading the lies of Israel. She is just spreading lie after lie after lie against Israel. And then I could tell you about the pro-Palestinian marches in Dearborn right next door, then tell you a Jewish woman was murdered.”
“I mean, it’s pretty easy to paint that picture,” he says, adding, “but that kind of picture riles people up into mobs.”
Glenn notes that while we can’t jump to conclusions, he will continue following this story.
“We have to remain clear eyed and vigilant. We have to wait and see,” he says.
In a Fox News article by Jonathan Turley, he explains why jumping to conclusions during such a divisive time in our nation's history is a dangerous issue.
He cites a poll from the University of Virginia Center for Politics that he writes “shows a nation at war with itself.”
According to this poll, 52% of Biden supporters say Republicans are now a threat to American life while 47% of Trump supporters say the same about Democrats.
But that’s not the worst of it. Within the Biden supporters, 41% believed violence is justified to “stop Republicans from achieving their goals” while 38% of Trump voters believe the same about Democrats.
“That doesn’t lead anywhere good,” Glenn warns.

In a largely congenial pre-Thanksgiving press conference, Karine Jean-Pierre served the White House press corps a turkey dinner and expressed her gratitude for all the media have done for the Biden-Harris administration over the past four years. “Thank you. No, really, I mean that,” Jean-Pierre, who was wearing a tall, black pilgrim hat, gushed from […]
The White House played rhetorical games when asked about the changing narrative over Biden's involvement with his son's business dealings.
