Karine Jean-Pierre On Biden’s Historic Southern Border Crisis: “Gonna Have To Point You To…CBP
On 9/25/2023, during White House Press Brief, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “I just wanted to ask you about the situation of the Southwest border. As we know, some cities are claiming that they are at breaking point with regards to the humanitarian crisis that is ongoing down there. I know that there was an agreement signed with Mexico over the weekend. I wonder if the administration is in touch with the cities down on the border and if there’s any other actions that the White House is considering to address the issue that is taking place down at the border.

KJP: So, I’m going to have to point — point you to the readout from CBP. As you just mentioned, they — they issued a readout of their conversation with the Mexican government over the weekend, so — so — regarding their engagement. So, certainly would have you reach out to them, and they could lay out specifically how that — that engagement went. And also refer you to the readouts more specifically as well.

Karine Jean-Pierre Won’t Say If Biden Supports UAW Demands Of 40% Pay Hike, 32-Hour Work Week
Reporter: Just to clarify: Since President Biden will be making this trip, does this mean he supports the 40 percent pay increase, the 32-hour work week that workers are asking for?

KJP: I’m not going to get into the details of what’s being negotiated right now — that on the table with — with — certainly, with the parties. What we’re saying is that we support the autoworkers. That’s what you’re going to see with the President tomor- — tomorrow. This is a — a historic event, a historic trip. And this continues — continues to show how, indeed, this President is the most pro-union president in history and he stands by the side of workers. This is what you’re going to see tomorrow.

Ag Sec Tom Vilsackon on Pepperoni Pizza vs Cheese Pizza
On 9/25/2023, during White House Press Brief, Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack said, “Well, I think you would want to visit with the folks at FDA. You need to understand that our food safety responsibilities are divided. The USDA has responsibility for meat, poultry, and processed eggs. FDA has responsibility for everything else … To show you how silly this is: If you order a pepperoni pizza, we’re guaranteeing the safety of it because there’s meat on that pizza. If you order a cheese pizza, you’re looking at FDA. (Laughter.)

Reporter: So, are not all food inspectors considered essential workers? Just ones affiliated with meat and —

SECRETARY VILSACK: Well, I can’t speak — I can’t speak to what HHS does or what FDA does. That’s why I think you should visit with them.

Biden Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack: “Legitimate Concerns” Over China Buying Up U.S. Farmland
Reporter: Has the Department of Agriculture seen anything in the purchase of farmland by Chinese corporations or Chinese nationals that would suggest a threat to national security or food security? Or are those concerns that we’ve increasingly been hearing about — are those overblown?

SECRETARY VILSACK: Well, I think there is concern, as there was in the North Dakota circumstance, where the Chinese interest was purchasing a land near a military installation. I think there is legitimate concerns in that space. And I think that’s one of the reasons why, you know, we’ve articulated the need, as a department, to be more engaged in the CFIUS process. I would also say that I think there is work to be done to give us the tools to be able to do an even better job of ensuring that we know when these transactions take place. It’s complicated. But every county has their county recorder. And on any given day, somebody may walk into that recorder’s office and file a deed, and there is no way of knowing precisely whether or not that is a Chinese purchaser.
