For me, I believe that this is God's creation and we have a moral responsibility to be good stewards of it. [SEP] But if you don't even share that religious view, we all agree that we have a moral responsibility to our children to have a planet - hand this planet to them in an important way.


The war on terror is being fought on many fronts, and since September the 11th, we have seen terrorist violence from Morocco to Indonesia. [SEP] Yet the center of this conflict remains the Middle East.

And that was just before the United States economy created a recovery that created 6 million more jobs in 21 months for the American people. [SEP] He said that decontrol of oil prices would cost you $36 billion a year more.


And what's important I think to point out here is that in many ways this represents the triumph of about 15 months of very hard diplomacy on the part of the President. [SEP] It began back in a speech he delivered in March of 2005, where he said it was important for Iran to suspend the nuclear activities that I've been talking about.


A President that regardless of the outcome wants to sit down, work with Republicans, find common ground, figure out how we can work together to move this country forward, versus somebody who has decided that his first job as leader of his -- of the Senate for the Republican Party, regardless, again, of the outcome, is to defeat the President and keep him as only a one-term President. [SEP] Again, the job of the President and the job of any senator or any member of the House after this election is going to be solving the problems of this country, of which we know there are quite a few that need to be addressed.


These data have been submitted to a preprint server and anticipate they will be posted online in the next few days.

In 1996, Joe Biden voted to obliterate Puerto Rico's thriving pharmaceutical industry. [SEP] I am reversing that and we're going back so that Puerto Rico can get its pharmaceutical industry back, and they're going to have it back soon.


In California, for example, more than 33 million people live in areas where high levels of air pollution pose health risks, and breast cancer rates in San Francisco are among the highest in the country.

The arbitrations are very unfair. [SEP] The judging has been very unfair.


Here's what's in it: For every child you have under the age of six, you're going to get $3, 600. [SEP] And for every child under the age of - between - over the age of 12, you're going to get $3, 000.


The President stressed that no important Asian constellations should be without the United States for two reasons. [SEP] First of all, we play a unique role in regional security, democracy and the support for the market economy.

So I don't -- I do not think that, left completely to their own devices, these companies would have seen -- necessarily seen a turnaround. [SEP] I think there were some important management decisions that we impacted because of that investment.

Also trying to make prisons a drug-free zone and a crime-free zone within that prison, so you can't - your life can't be threatened every day; you can't be attacked in prison; you can't have access to drugs and be rehabilitated. [SEP] And then finally, the faith-based organization.


The drug companies aren't liking me too much now, but that's OK. [SEP] That's OK.

[SEP] And we have a commitment that those medicines will continue to be made available on a daily basis.


But what I would say, Sam, is that when I look at what this country has achieved, in getting the virus under control, in protecting the NHS, stopping that from being overwhelmed, making sure every patient had a ventilated bed, and that was the real threat that we saw at the beginning, wrapping our arms around every worker in this country with the furlough scheme, again, something completely unlike anything other countries have done, and achieved at record speed by HMRC and our Civil Service. [SEP] I really think when I look at what local authorities, what national government, what the Civil Service, what the NHS have achieved over the last ten weeks, I think we have great cause to be very, very proud of the way those public servants have responded.


Trump to failed to do it. [SEP] Trump and local government, the state and local governments are facing huge shortfalls.


They are the young men and women of America between the ages of 18 and 21. [SEP] The practice of admitting young Americans to the electorate at the age of twenty-one has its roots in the dim and distant mists of medieval England--but it is a practice and limitation without roots in the American experience.


You know, the United Nations is at, I think, really a new level of respect. [SEP] And we work together.


Black unemployment is the lowest level in history. [SEP] Hispanic unemployment, lowest level in history.

And so we're now dealing with this issue diplomatically by having the Germans and the French and the British send a clear message to the Iranians, with our strong backing, that you will not have the capacity to make a weapon, the know-how to make a weapon. [SEP] Iran with a nuclear weapon is a threat, and it's dangerous, and we must not let them have a weapon.


He would be the first to tell you that there is more work to do. [SEP] The stress on the system that two additional wars -- long wars -- caused is something that the Secretary and the President recognize very keenly, and that's why the President has insisted on increased funding for the VA throughout his time in office, even as we deal with the need for maintaining tight budgets as a general matter.


Those reforms have begun paying off. [SEP] They've begun paying dividends.


Then I said to Secretary Alex Ocasa . . . and I said to Alex Azar, this is no good. [SEP] This is no good.


And I think lifting up families like his own became the story of Bill Clinton's life.

I brought it up. [SEP] But they said, he was too nice to Putin.

As we speak, there are truckloads filled with hundreds of tons of desperately needed humanitarian supplies stopped at the borders of Venezuela and waiting to help the millions and millions in need.

The only way this century will be another American century is if we confront at last the price of our dependence on oil and the high cost of health care, the schools that aren't preparing our children and the mountain of debt they stand to inherit. [SEP] That is our responsibility.

Nearly 40 percent of all adults in the United States have received at least one dose of the vaccine, and more than one in five adults is now fully vaccinated. [SEP] It is truly inspiring for me to see many Americans embracing vaccination.


That ability to turn an idea into a reality-a new venture, a small business-that creates good-paying jobs; it puts rising economies on the path to prosperity, and empowers people to come together and tackle our most pressing global problems, from climate change to poverty. [SEP] When people can start their own businesses, it helps individuals and families succeed.

We'll invest in innovative programs that are already helping schools meet high standards and close achievement gaps, and we will expand our commitment to charter schools. [SEP] It is our responsibility as lawmakers and as educators to make this system work.

We've already seen over this last week just how different the visions are of the two parties in terms of where we should take this country. [SEP] I think it's very clear who's going to be looking out for working families, who wants to invest in things like education, who wants to make sure that we've got strong social insurance programs like Medicare and Social Security that are going to look after people, but also how do we maintain those in a responsible way.


They were given exactly the same service - in some cases, sent them to the same labs - and were charged 40 times more money. [SEP] Under the new price transparency rule we are finalizing today - and it will be all finalized - it is finalized; it'll be put out today - all of that will change.


The ultimate cause for concern is an overwhelming of the hospitals. [SEP] With the hospitals, the situation in the hospitals is better than it has been in the past.


I think what is important is that the diplomacy now makes clear that we're not going back to the status quo ante; that a situation where Hezbollah controls the south, continues to be armed, basically has a kingdom within a kingdom -- that is not acceptable anymore to the Lebanese government or to the international community. [SEP] And that's what, of course, getting the Lebanese army into the south, getting the multinational force to support it is all about, to send that message to Hezbollah that the rules of the game have changed.


This is part of what our Wall street reform was actually all about, we've put in place a consumer finance protection bureau that is specifically working with the Department of Defense and others so that military families have good information so that they don't get suckered into a bad mortgage that they can't pay back, so that they're not ending up taking out loans that end up having huge interest rate spikes later down the road. [SEP] This is part of the reason why financial reform was so important is to make sure that we are providing consumers the information they need to make good choices on their own.


I don't think it's about a - as I said to him, I said, Your generation and mine are about 10 years apart. [SEP] This is not a 'kumbaya' moment, as you used to say back in the '60s in the United States, like, 'Let's hug and love each other. '

Now, I know that the price of tuition is higher than ever, which is why if you are willing to volunteer in your neighborhood or give back to your community or serve your country, we will make sure that you can afford a higher education.

I know from the standpoint of trade, we're waiting for a lot of our trade representatives to be approved. [SEP] They just don't want to do it.


Tax credits for lower energy bills-gone. [SEP] Corporate minimum tax of 15 percent-gone.


He's failed to listen to the national loud-ranging echo that our criminal justice system needs transformational change to the change of systemic racism that has contributed to the deaths of black men and women.

On the other hand, you have Donald Trump who passed a tax bill benefiting the top 1% in the biggest corporations of America. [SEP] And Florida, you know that right now people are hurting.

And number three - this is the most important - well, it's just as important: Please, save the medical masks, the N95s for the healthcare workers, because the cloth facial coverings are effective, as far as we know right now, based on the best available evidence, at preventing you from spreading disease to other people. [SEP] So no inconsistency there.


He's got many companies moving in. [SEP] I said, Look, we have a big deficit with you.


Now it's just really getting going, but they cut it in half and just - at its very early stage. [SEP] This is in sharp contrast to those who want to slash police funding, oppose using the National Guard, and want to hire radical judges and prosecutors who will release rioters, looters, and criminals.


You know, what the world saw this week is an American president who embraces his role as leader of the free world. [SEP] President Trump withdrew the United States from the disastrous Iran nuclear deal.

[SEP] The President's position will remain unchanged, and that is, that it's important for Congress to fund the priorities the President has established, such as the increases for education, the increases for domestic homeland security, for bioterrorism, and the other items in the President's budget.


And I also, because of transparency - whether it's medical transparency or just transparency, generally - I also put out, today, a statement. [SEP] And in the statement, we released - and then Congressman Nunes read - a call that I had with the President of Ukraine.

But he would not have put it in the bill if he did not want the minimum wage to be increased. [SEP] That's what he wants to see the outcome as, but he also knows, through many, many decades of working through legislation, that the bill that comes out the other end may not look exactly the same as the bill coming in.


While it shouldn't have taken somethingso terrible for people aroundthe world to see what's at stakenow everyone sees it clearly. [SEP] We see the unity among leaders of nations and a more unified Europe a more unified West.

It's all death that could have - could've been stopped by China. [SEP] If they wanted to stop it, they could've stopped it.


On the infrastructure vote that Leader Hoyer says is going to happen on Monday, it certainly doesn't seem like right now Democrats would have the votes for that to pass.

They are breaking down society by breaking down the rule of law; that you have a known criminal that you can't communicate with ICE about. [SEP] We know how bad this is.


The government is out of a lot of options as it relates to monetary policy.

Number one, to protect our embassy and our civilian, diplomatic corps. [SEP] I don't want Blackwater to be providing that security; I want our U.S. military to providing-to provide that security.

When I was attorney general of California, I drafted and helped pass what we named the Homeowner Bill of Rights, to protect consumers from predatory lending and unfair foreclosure practices. [SEP] It was one of the first bills of its kind in our country, and the purpose behind that bill was quite simple.


We are confronting the Iranian menace that threatens the United States and Israel and the civilized world. [SEP] We must never allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon.


I referenced that state oxygen team that we put together. [SEP] We also have OSHPD, one of our state agencies working with the US Army Corps of Engineers, the best of the best.


That is not right. [SEP] That's not who we are.


One survey found that within a single metro area, the highest negotiated price for a simple blood test was roughly 40 times more than the lowest price. [SEP] They were given exactly the same service - in some cases, sent them to the same labs - and were charged 40 times more money.


This country is going to come back and it's going to come back strong. [SEP] We have to get rid of the virus We've got to open up our country.


Today, we're thrilled to be joined by several business leaders who understand just how true all of the things that we're saying are. [SEP] We're also thrilled to have a lot of the fake news media in the back.


Governor, I want to ask a couple of questions about vaccinations to date. [SEP] I wanted to find out if you could tell us, first of all, how many of the doses that have been administered have been Pfizer versus Moderna.


Reporters can't leak. [SEP] You cannot leak classified information.


We are the piggy bank that everybody likes to take advantage of, or take from. [SEP] And we can't let that happen anymore.


All Americans can draw a straight line from the free lives we lead today to that one moment when the world changed forever. [SEP] From that day in 1776, freedom has had a home and a defender.


I'll give you an example. [SEP] Shortly after I took office, the United States made the single biggest Federal investment in clean energy in our history.


We've had many, many encounters at all sorts of different international fora where we've been strongly aligned on environment; on fighting COVID and getting - getting through this pandemic, preparing for future challenges; but also on building back better and recovering our economies in ways that work for the middle class, for people working hard to join it in a way that is inclusive and fair. [SEP] And we've got a lot - a lot of work to continue to do.


At the end of the day when politics fail, what happens? [SEP] It's the United States military that has to go and clean up the work.


And we've had the best. [SEP] And if our opponent ever got into office, instead of being up 62%, instead of those 401s of yours being up 60, 70, 80, 90%.


We want to give as many people as we can access to the information they need to choose to get vaccinated and to then help the people they care about make that decision too. [SEP] You can sign up and get more information at WeCanDoThis.HHS.gov.


With respect to trade, we hope to be able to not simply finalize an agreement with the various parties in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, but also to be able to explain it to the public and to engage in all the stakeholders and to publicly engage with the critics, because I think some of the criticism of what we've been doing on the Trans-Pacific Partnership is groups fighting the last war as opposed to looking forward. [SEP] And so that may be something discrete that we can get done if we're able to have a good, solid debate and everybody feels like it's been transparent and they understand exactly what it is that we're trying to do.


Getting along with Russia would be a good thing. [SEP] Getting along with China would be a good thing.


They're lawless. [SEP] For this reason, we have now appointed, as of today, 161-and fully approved-brandnew Federal judges, Court of Appeals judges, to interpret our Constitution as written.


You're in a situation where your economy is struggling, you need to move it in a more aggressive way, in terms of growing it. [SEP] And you - I don't think he's looking for a Cold War with the United States.


We have a trafficking problem, including human trafficking. [SEP] We're very, very tough on that.


And right now we are going so fast, we are the fastest developing country in the world. [SEP] Can you believe that?


What we can do to help young women and women of all ages is to have a strong economy, so strong that employers are looking to find good employees and bringing them into their workforce and adapting to a flexible work schedule that gives women the opportunities that they would otherwise not be able to afford. [SEP] This is what I've done.


The theory that well, New York is going to be immune from what's happening everywhere in the country, that does not work. [SEP] We were not immune from what was happening in China and what was happening in Europe, when the virus went from China to Europe.


This includes their therapies designed to attack the virus, as well as others that would hinder its replication, reduce the rate of infection, control the immune response, or transfer lifesaving antibodies from the blood of recovered patients. [SEP] And one of the incredible things that we've seen - and Mike and I were talking about it before - is the fact oftentimes somebody gets very ill from the plague - okay? - from this horrible scourge.


And so economic relations are important, political relations are important. [SEP] Common security threats like counterterrorism are important.


Well, look, if at some point Lebanon is a member of the United Nations, if at some point they are elected as a head of state, or a head of state is elected in Lebanon that is a member of that organization, then that would raise these issues. [SEP] That hasn't happened yet.


And as the President announced on Tuesday, all adult Americans will be eligible for vaccination no later than April 19th. [SEP] That's in 10 days and ahead of the original May 1st timeline.


This mission includes overseeing more than 13, 000 Foreign Service Officers, who act as our representatives to the world; 12, 000 Consular Officers; and an administrator of just an incredible immigration system - system that we're going to be changing and fixing and making better; a system that's under siege right now. [SEP] But a system that will in fact, hopefully, be the talk of the world by the time we finish.


As for me, I've held high office and done the work of democracy day-by-day. [SEP] Yes, my parents were prosperous, and their children were lucky.


Mm-hmm. [SEP] Mm-hmm.


We're not going to have much from here on the additional sanctions that President Park announced. [SEP] I would draw your attention our focus has been the weeks of months of putting together work at the U.N. Security Council to draft and deliver and pass the strongest, most robust sanctions against North Korea on record.


Okay? [SEP] So if tomorrow I can wave a wand and every American was vaccinated, then in fact we'd be out of the woods.


But we like it. [SEP] And we opened up our fields.


Police also found a document, 180 pages, posted online before the shooting where he wrote racist and antisemitic ideas. [SEP] So authorities, as you heard in this press conference just a few moments ago, investigating this attack as a federal hate crime.


And while we might have some long-term differences about reforming the tax system, the President believes that we should do it in a way that offers more benefits to the middle class, that asks folks at the top of the income scale to pay a little bit more. [SEP] Republicans, on the other hand, have nominated somebody who believes that we should actually significantly increase the tax benefits that go to those at the top of the income scale and ask middle-class families to pay more to subsidize those tax benefits for the wealthy.


That's going to happen. [SEP] That happens with influenza.


This, more than anything, will go at the costs that Americans face. [SEP] You talk about health care, one of the biggest costs of American families face.


We've cut regulations at a level that nobody has even come close to - and that's whether it's four years, eight years, or, in one case, even more than that. [SEP] Nobody has done anything close: regulations, low taxes, rebuilt military, take care of our vets.


That's the nature of a democracy. [SEP] There is nothing wrong with that.


You know, peace through strength is foreign policy that works. [SEP] And it works best when America has a strong economy and a strong military.


And none of that would have been possible without the strong support in our first two years of Republican majorities in the house of representatives. [SEP] And I would be remiss today if I didn't take a moment, not just to acknowledge, but to thank a strong conservative leader in the Congress of the United States, who was there every step of the way as we brought this economy all the way back in our first three years.


So, far from a measure of - far from , of course, that's what the G7 has taken together. [SEP] At this stage, again, you know, the U.S., the EU, Canada, the UK have all taken steps to embargo imports of Russian oil.


He's already used chemical weapons in the past, and we should be careful of what about-of what's about to come. [SEP] He knows there will be severe consequences because of the united NATO front, but the point is, it's real.


And these atrocities have to come to an end. [SEP] And we're working diligently through a variety of diplomatic channels to bring about that end state.


Inflation is low. [SEP] Interest rates are low.


That's WeCanDoThis.HHS.gov. [SEP] And, finally, I'll just say this in closing: You know, this has been a long, hard year for all of us.


I will say this. [SEP] I think if you just read the interviews -- just read the two interviews side by side.


The United States with its partners are also looking at various ways to help support the opposition. [SEP] We are already taking measures that are non-lethal and looking at ways that we can help the opposition through humanitarian assistance and other non-lethal things that we can do to help them.


It is a relationship in which I believe you will start to see the United States and NATO talk to Russia about how NATO and Russia can better relate. [SEP] It is a relationship that got new impetus to shared cooperative security issues concerning September 11th and counterterrorism.


It is our work to win this struggle. [SEP] We're now about 3 years into the war against terrorism.


This is about protecting our everyday life. [SEP] Congress must address this crisis.


We want electric cars built here in the United States of America by American workers. [SEP] If the other side gets the keys, they say they want to give a $700 billion tax cut to the top 2 percent, millionaires and billionaires.


And that is democracy, rule of law, freedom of speech, freedom of religion. [SEP] Now, in every country I deal with, whether it's China, Russia, ultimately Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, allies as well as non-allies, there are going to be some differences.


In order to make sure jobs are here-stay at home-in order to make sure the country is on the leading edge of technological change, we have got to make sure people have the skills necessary to fill those jobs. [SEP] And it doesn't matter whether you've been in the Army for 8- or Air Force for 4 and Army for 4, there's still a chance.


But now that the crisis seems to perhaps be lessening, I wanted to ask you about accountability. [SEP] And, of course, million - millions of Americans became familiar with you as the tough boss who fired people for doing a poor job.


I don't remember asking that question when I was your age. [SEP] I don't think many baby boomers were sitting around saying to their moms and dads or elected officials, Was Social Security going to be around?


This is a day of great hope for all Americans. [SEP] Our enemies have become our partners, committed to building democratic and civil societies.


And this is a pandemic that is flaring up all over the place. [SEP] Countries thought they were in good shape and then, all of a sudden, they have a big flare-up.


You shouldn't have to have a family member die of a toxic exposure to be able to understand the pain, and difficulty, and tenacity that these families have had to undergo on their own. [SEP] We make them advocate on their own.


It costs the economy, Congressman, $70 billion annually. [SEP] You hear me?


What we're doing is standing up against naked aggression, and we will succeed. [SEP] We will not turn back.

Nobody thought it was even possible to get close to a 7 million number. [SEP] Two million was maxed out, if you were lucky and if you did a great job.


If you choose this path, you will find no safe harbor, no easy exit, and no way out. [SEP] You will lose everything.


We know how incredibly effective vaccines are. [SEP] If you're vaccinated and boosted you have the highest degree of protection.


You see, our markets are pretty open for other people. [SEP] And what we're going to do is tell other people, If our markets are open for you, you open yours for us.


But the federal government cannot do it alone and will need local stakeholders, both public and private, to get behind the effort with their own resources, said Rep. Adam Schiff. [SEP] This year, Congress allocated an additional eight million dollars, a very substantial sum in these budget constrained times, and I thank Chairman Calvert for his support.


Look, the press is unbelievably dishonest. [SEP] That was a major statement put out last night by the Foreign Minister of Ukraine and also by the President of Ukraine, and you don't even report it.


And all of us, and all of us together - I've had many conversations with leaders all over the world over the weekend, and over the last couple of weeks in particular. [SEP] And this is a pandemic that is flaring up all over the place.

And let's see what happens. [SEP] Let's see what happens.


That is why I recently banned trainings in this prejudiced ideology from the federal government and banned it in the strongest manner possible. [SEP] The only path to national unity is through our shared identity as Americans.


For these molecular tests, you take a swab and you stick it in a test tube, and that test tube has to have a specific kind of liquid in it. [SEP] And when we started, it was viral transport media - a very special kind of media.


I don't think that's fair. [SEP] And I don't think it helps grow our economy.


Far too many people have died and the White House has gone out of its way to fight against providing direct aid to Native nations. [SEP] Now vaccines are here, but again, a comprehensive plan that will serve all people is missing.


By 2020, America will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world. [SEP] That is a goal we can meet.


That hasn't happened yet. [SEP] With respect to Hamas, I do think that if they recognize the Quartet principles that have been laid out--and these are fairly modest conditions here--that you recognize the State of Israel without prejudging what various grievances or claims are appropriate, that you abide by previous agreements, that you renounce violence as a means of achieving your goals, then I think the discussions with Hamas could potentially proceed.


Send a message for Deborah Ross. [SEP] Send a message about who we are as the American people and make our kids proud.


I also want to make sure we pass a farm bill, which is moving along nicely, before the end of the month to help our great farmers. [SEP] I strongly support the commonsense work requirements and the food stamps in the farm bill.


We've given you some updates and some PSAs in a culturally competent way. [SEP] Again, we've got to meet people where they are and that's underway, but not at the scale that we would like in terms of the social media and the peer to peer work, working partnership with community-based organizations, our organization, we call , building off the work we did with our census, but $300 million is proposed in that budget.


You know. [SEP] You know, the first time I came to Cramton was during freshman orientation.


Look, a lot of Republicans, their dream is to cut Social Security and Medicare. [SEP] Well, let me just say this: It's your dream, but I'm going to - my veto pen make it a nightmare.


But from my point of view, my purpose is we're in the midst of this. [SEP] Let's look at what we did right, let's look at what we did wrong, because we still have a lot more to do.


The second company is Abound Solar manufacturing, which will manufacture advanced solar panels at two new plants, creating more than 2, 000 construction jobs and 1, 500 permanent jobs. [SEP] A Colorado plant is already underway, and an Indiana plant will be built in what's now an empty Chrysler factory.


We never asked that. [SEP] Actually, we were asking, Are they going to keep increasing benefits?


That's not fair. [SEP] It's not fair.


Are these folks suggesting that we're just going to leave them to wander around the streets and rely on the Iraqi military to do that? [SEP] Obviously not.


Ask any NATO leader. [SEP] NATO is more united today than it has been any time in the history of NATO - in the history of NATO.


And we are looking at a healthcare that would be a fantastic tribute to our country; a healthcare that will take care of people, finally, for the right reasons, and also at the right cost. [SEP] It would be a tremendous reduction in costs from what Obamacare is.


Free Brittney Griner. [SEP] But I think the most insulting scandal to fall to the feet of the Biden administration was placed at the feet of our Madam Vice President, the scandal of what does Kamala do?


It provides funding to get dangerous chemicals out of our water systems, known as PFAs, or forever chemicals. [SEP] This is a problem all across the country, and I know that you're feeling it right here - right here.


She said, We said 'March to War' on our TV screens. [SEP] It's hard to run a business if you're marching to war.


I love polls. [SEP] Only when they're good.


Lots of things are happening in our country - lots of very positive things - but we have some things that we have to talk about. [SEP] We're going to be discussing today the situation in North Korea.


You know how you end fraud? [SEP] You put criminals in jail.


Steve is a great veteran. [SEP] He's a patriot, and a proud West Point graduate, that means he's very smart.


It's a crippling feeling to not be able to protect the ones you love. [SEP] I'm especially grateful to all of our veterans and military families here who not only have served our country but who continue to serve their fellow men and women in uniform by fighting for them, fighting for the healthcare that they are owed and that they deserve.


Two U.S. companies, Hanes and Standard Textile are on track to produce five million gowns by the end of the month and that's really moving. [SEP] That's really moving.

And, Coach, I just think it's an amazing job that you've done. [SEP] And I just - I really want you to come up and say a few words, Coach, because few people have been able to do, in the coaching world, what you've been able to do.


What I want is to have many, many more tests so that there isn't a competition for them. [SEP] I don't think, just as you use that example of Senator Kaine and Mrs. Kaine, that you should have to have symptoms because you could be asymptomatic and be contagious, if that's the word?


Now, we must step boldly and bravely into the next chapter of this great American adventure, and we must create a new standard of living for the 21st century. [SEP] An amazing quality of life for all of our citizens is within our reach.


I have to take my hat off to the Border Patrols, for the law enforcement, to ICE, which really has been maligned by the Democrats. [SEP] The job they do - they go into these MS-13 nests - nests of bad, bad people - killers, in many cases.


Venezuela 20 years ago or less, was so wealthy. [SEP] One of the wealthiest countries, it had oil, it had everything, very, very magnificent.


Throughout this process and throughout this response -- dating all the way back to March, I might add -- this administration has been guided by the science, by our medical experts who have experience in dealing with Ebola outbreaks. [SEP] For almost four decades now, the global health community, led by the United States, has been dealing with Ebola outbreaks in Africa, and as we are dealing with a public health situation in this country, we continue to be guided by the advice of medical experts and scientists who have knowledge in this field and can use that knowledge to protect the American people.


In Massachusetts, we are making progress to get checks out the door. [SEP] As of today, the Department of Unemployment Assistance is paying unemployment compensation to over 315, 000 Massachusetts residents.


Your gasoline prices would be down 50 cents a gallon. [SEP] No, I'm serious.


But he badly miscalculated. [SEP] He thought he could roll into Ukraine and the world would roll over.

We're dealing with some good ones too, by the way, some good journalists, but we have a lot of very bad people. [SEP] You saw that recently where they're trying to protect Sleepy Joe and his family from total corruption.


One little girl told me that after watching a public service announcement for Let's Move! on TV, she and her friend put down the junk food they were eating and decided to go for a bike ride instead.

I don't care what Mr. Zarqawi and his Al Qaida killers are trying to do to me; I'm going to defy them and go to the polls. [SEP] And the people have spoken.


These men and women grew up with faith in an America where hard work and responsibility paid off. [SEP] They believed in a country where everyone gets a fair shake and does their fair share, where if you stepped up, did your job, and were loyal to your company, that loyalty would be rewarded with a decent salary and good benefits, maybe a raise once in a while.


She is a worker. [SEP] She's heard your stories.


We have several different laws that were never meant to deal with -- to address climate change, heading down a path that we believe is not reasonable, nor sustainable, would hurt our economy, and is not good public policy. [SEP] This would have the Clean Air Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the National Environmental Policy Act all addressing climate change in a way that is not the way that they were intended to.


So I just want to clear that up. [SEP] Is that what -- how it's -- how it is?


And we have a strategy for victory in Iraq. [SEP] It's a three-pronged strategy, starting with-it's politics; it is a-it's security; and it's economy.


Because of the leadership, or lack thereof, of the Assad regime, and because of the atrocities that they have perpetrated there against the Syrian people, ISIL is essentially operating in a virtual safe haven in Syria. [SEP] That's a dangerous situation.


Under threat of having their licenses revoked, gay teachers have been forced to take down pictures of their spouses from their desks and censor their classroom materials. [SEP] Censoring our classes is not how public education is supposed to work in a free country.

We have been present at the fall of the Wall of Berlin. [SEP] We are also witnessing the destruction and the disappearance of the Marxist monocracies that are giving way to a new concept of socialism and liberty.


There's a movement like nobody's ever seen before. [SEP] You know, when I mention this, anything I say that's even slightly false, it's headlines.


If they see what is possible through you, they believe that they can achieve that for themselves. [SEP] That's one of the reasons why I share my story so much, because I want young girls around the world not to see me as the First Lady of the United States, but I want them to know that I was a young girl in Chicago that had doubts and fears and worries, and people who told me that I couldn't.


Millions of our neighbors have been swept up in the worst recession in our lifetimes. [SEP] And long before this recession hit, the middle class had been taking some hard shots.

We're about to talk to somebody, you know, one of these people who are going to be affected by the top two brackets. [SEP] Thirdly, the rich hire lawyers and accountants for a reason: to stick you with the tab.

Look forward to working with the Government of that country to make sure that people are protected in their capacity to worship. [SEP] There's still a Taliban element trying to come and hurt people.

And to help parents trying to get ahead, I'm directing my Secretary of Labor to invest $25 million in helping people who want to enroll in job-training programs, but don't currently have access to the childcare they need to do it. [SEP] I take this personally -- as the son and grandson of some strong women who worked hard to support my sister and me; as the husband of a brilliant woman who struggled to balance work and raising our young ladies when my job often kept me away; and as the father of two beautiful girls, whom I want to be there for as much as I possibly can -- and whom I hope will be able to have families and careers of their own one day.


People were walking through Mexico, right into San Diego - right over people's front lawns - by the hundreds and by the thousands. [SEP] And they came to us.


If you believe in this GI bill or if you believe in strengthening the family or whatever it is, then vote for people that agree with you. [SEP] Then you can dramatically change things.


He has been clear not just as President, as Vice President, as senator. [SEP] And he'll continue to do that, not just him -- the Vice President, the First Lady, as well.

And if you compare that with, for instance, our global trade, there is more commerce along that one corridor than there are in terms of what we import from Japan -- so to give you again the magnitude of this, so things like ports of entry, the infrastructure.

I think it follows a disturbing pattern where Iraq looks at the combined actions of the world as spoken and expressed and approved by the United Nations, and condemns them.

The President shared that tragic story, moments ago, about the 10-year-old girl who had to travel across state lines to receive an abortion. [SEP] And I'm wondering, has the White House confirmed that local law enforcement knows the identity of this 10-year-old victim?


No, the Government takes your money and spends it. [SEP] It's called pay-as-you-go.

As I've said from the beginning, under the reform we seek, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor; if you like your private health insurance plan, you can keep your plan, period. [SEP] Now, the source of a lot of these fears about Government-run health care is confusion over what's called the public option.


So, right now, we're on track to double the number of rapid, at-home tests on the market by early November. [SEP] And we're also now on track to triple the number of rapid, at-home tests on the market by -- and thanks to the approval of ACON -- sorry -- this Monday, which accelerates the pace.


Let me say that again: 50 percent - almost 50 percent of all the seniors in America lived in poverty before - before this law was passed. [SEP] Almost half the seniors - half of them - lived in poverty, even those who spent a lifetime working.


I think it's great. [SEP] But, by and large, this is not peaceful protest when you walk into an area and you see buildings that are burned down.


They've made tremendous sacrifices over the past few months to buy this government time to get his act together to beat this virus. [SEP] But Donald Trump squandered that sacrifice and it's all about him.


All around us, here in the United States, we see the profound influence of Greek culture, art, and philosophy. [SEP] In the Federalist Papers, our Founding Fathers consulted the wisdom of the Ancient Greek city-states when writing our own Constitution.


So I don't view the peaceful protest. [SEP] I think peaceful protesting is fantastic.


Republicans believe that every life is a sacred gift of God. [SEP] And that's why I've asked Congress to prohibit extreme late term abortion of babies.


My belief about the regional powers in the Middle East is that they don't respond well to that kind of bluster. [SEP] They haven't in the past, there's no reason to think they will in the future.


This dignity cannot be found in a man's possessions; it cannot be found in his power, or in his position. [SEP] It really rests on his right to be treated as a man equal in opportunity to all others.


The scientists are working hard to get that done and we'll be ready with plenty of vaccines when they do. [SEP] We're also ready with anti-viral treatments.


You've got to have fair trade and not just free trade. [SEP] You have to open up your markets if you expect other people to open up their markets.


Forty million - 40 million Americans already drinking water that thousands of farmers rely on for - for integration. [SEP] And 40 million count on that river and so do the farmers.


And we have not yet seen evidence of significant transmission of COVID-19 within schools when schools have fully implemented CDC's mitigation guidance. [SEP] In addition to educator vaccination, which we spoke about on Wednesday, testing remains an important tool in our overall efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19, including in our schools.


As of today, the Department of Unemployment Assistance is paying unemployment compensation to over 315, 000 Massachusetts residents. [SEP] That's a tripling of the number of people they were paying unemployment compensation to when the month of March began.


They have also conveyed in their guidance -- and they can speak for themselves, of course -- that transmission and infectiousness occurs in the first five days after a diagnosis with COVID-19, somewhere in the range of 85 to 90 percent of the time, hence their guidance on the five days. [SEP] So, they can speak to their own guidance.


There have been disagreements under this administration and under the previous administration about certain policies and developments in the Middle East. [SEP] But I think on a set of core interests, we continue to have a common view about what we aim to achieve.


The President, as he always does, sort of reaffirmed our commitment to seeing the Cuban government do a better job of not just respecting, but actually proactively protecting the basic human rights of the Cuban people. [SEP] And we continue to believe that deeper engagement and deeper people-to-people ties, deeper economic engagement between the United States and Cuba will have the effect of moving the government and the nation in a positive direction.


We have seen videos and reports of armed officials going door to door, intimidating voters and stopping Ukrainians on the street and forcing them to vote. [SEP] These so-called referenda have been an exercise in coercion and disinformation executed by puppet authorit- -- authorities following orders from Russia.


And we have seen this since I came into office. [SEP] Since my inauguration, the amount of wind power has tripled, the amount of solar power has gone up by 20 times.


That is a goal we can meet. [SEP] That's a goal we can meet.


And I'm here with my co-creator and executive producer, Chuck Lorre, who is -- this issue is very important to both of us. [SEP] He's in the back there.


What's happening is so sad - is so sad. [SEP] And it can be taken care of quickly, beautifully, and we'll have safety.


We announced a $2 billion investment in September. [SEP] So, right now, we're on track to double the number of rapid, at-home tests on the market by early November.


Republicans are also strongly protecting Medicare. [SEP] A majority of Democrats on the ballot for Congress have already signed up for a government takeover of health care that would obliterate Medicare and terminate Medicare Advantage for half a million Illinois seniors who depend on it.


We're doubling down now with testing to protect vulnerable people not just inside nursing homes, but in residential settings and senior daycare centers. [SEP] This is a remarkable advance.


Last summer, Brown called on the Obama Administration to make permanent this critical tax credit, while promoting the domestic manufacture of cutting-edge technologies. [SEP] Brown, who called for the extension as part of a national manufacturing strategy, is working alongside President Obama to pass the Small Business Jobs Act and to create jobs through a nationwide investment in transportation infrastructure.


We weren't going to get involved. [SEP] We met a woman named Rosie Torres who runs an organization named Burn Pit 360.


The physicians like it, and with the uptake in people in the hospital was needed. [SEP] That was able to drop.


We're going to open it up in quadrants. [SEP] We're going to open it up in states.


And Romania's role in this area and in her neighborhood is a vital role, one that I listen very carefully to his advice on, because this area of the world is one where there's emerging democracies. [SEP] And it's an area of the world that is-where there has been historical conflict, and it's an area of the world where we've got to pay attention to it.


High technology is not going to stop it. [SEP] The only thing that stops it is a wall.


What we know is that the number of people who die from gun related incidents around this country dwarfs any deaths that happen through terrorism. [SEP] We're willing to spend trillions of dollars to prevent terrorist activities but we haven't been willing, so far at least, to impose some common sense gun safety measures that could save some lives.


We want to sit down and have a very broad conversation with them about what types of strategies and capabilities can meet those objectives. [SEP] And again, I think what we've seen since the transition of power in Saudi Arabia certainly is the fact that Mohammed bin Nayef and Mohammed bin Salman have been key figures in setting that security policy for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and key interlocutors for us.


A President must solve problems, must confront problems, not pass them on to future Presidents or future generations. [SEP] We have a problem in Social Security, and that is, when baby boomers like me retire, younger workers are going to have trouble paying for us and, therefore, have money available when they retire.


She's a brilliant woman and she understands exactly where everything is. [SEP] She knows before most people.


It's going to help people across the country that are unemployed right now. [SEP] And one thing that the President said, which I want to make sure that we understand: He said that I said we should take Detroit bankrupt.


Almost half of all seniors in the United States lived in poverty before Social Security. [SEP] Let me say that again: 50 percent - almost 50 percent of all the seniors in America lived in poverty before - before this law was passed.


California, Rhode Island and New Jersey give workers paid family leave. [SEP] Connecticut offers paid sick days.


But what I've also said is, we can't just produce traditional sources of energy. [SEP] We've also got to look to the future.


We've got some lawless people in some very high positions. [SEP] They're lawless.


And as you know, because we've discussed this a lot at the end of last year, we have been committed to looking for ways to provide greater access for photographers to the White House and the President. [SEP] And providing a photo opportunity today was part of that commitment -- fulfilling that commitment.


We must confront the culture of drug abuse head-on to reduce demand for dangerous narcotics. [SEP] Every person who buys illicit drugs here in America should know that they are risking their futures, their families, and even their lives.


We will enact trade deals that result in more products proudly stamped with that beautiful phrase, Made in the USA. [SEP] We will achieve new breakthroughs in science and medicine, finding new cures for childhood cancer and ending the AIDS epidemic in America in less than 10 years.


They do it not as a defensive mechanism but they do it because they feel very strongly about that. [SEP] I hope that they will look at the changes that NATO has taken and say: Well, if NATO had been a threat to us, it no longer is a threat to us.


I said, It is a decisionmaking job. [SEP] I make a lot of decisions.


He deployed all 8, 000 of our inspectors at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services to dedicate all of their time to ensuring compliance with those new higher standards. [SEP] And we've spoken about - about nursing home issues with governors around the country.


He is talking about a reconciliation conference this month. [SEP] There has been also a great deal of work on the Iraqi economy.


And I'll say that because, if we focus on the true mission and the people - the grandmothers, the grandfathers; the next generation coming out through us; the kids that are truant and now they're working; the single mothers who now have a job - to restore dignity and hope in their family and in the community, that's why I'm here. [SEP] And I believe that's why you're here.


Okay. [SEP] So right now we continue to have the challenge of COVID.


Please pray for them and help the people in Cuba. [SEP] Five pastors, the invite for this event in Cuba are not here because the government in Cuba no permission for today here.


This is a crisis. [SEP] It is a crisis that the Republicans in Congress are refusing to address.


This is a time to make sure all our resources available are focused where they need to be, and that is on the people who have been displaced or the people who have been otherwise affected by this natural disaster. [SEP] And that's exactly what we're doing.


He is not fit to be Commander in Chief. [SEP] And he's certainly not fit to lead the world's greatest democracy.


And the President certainly is. [SEP] What we have seen from the Assad regime and the Russians is a concerted campaign to strike civilian targets to bomb civilians into submission.


It's not conducive to capital investment. [SEP] Marching to war is a negative thought, and if you're in the business world and you're trying to hire people or you're looking for work, it's not a conducive time to do so.


But we don't have data that matches that, based on the experience. [SEP] And then, finally, the situation about ventilators.


You know, President Trump, President Trump is putting pro-Constitution, pro-America judges on the bench, but Claire McCaskill voted no. [SEP] President Trump is securing our border, but Claire McCaskill, she voted no.


He had the courage to prosecute the people who committed the fraud. [SEP] You don't end fraud by prospective measures to deal with fraud.


On your foreign aid, it's the same answer I just gave, which is, yes, it's a fairly part of the discretionary budget, but it's still consistent with what the President said. [SEP] When you see these reductions, you'll be able to tie it back to a speech the President gave or something the President has said previously.


We call on all countries around the world to join us by cutting off all trade and financial ties with North Korea in order to achieve a denuclearized Korean Peninsula. [SEP] As President Trump stated in his speech to the U.N. General Assembly, it is time for all nations to work together to isolate the Kim regime until it seizes its hostile behavior.


I'm going to do away with the tax break that the President gave people who send jobs abroad, to make sure that if you in fact, have a contract, if you with taxpayers my money, you must use American products, you must buy American products, and you must not be in a position where you're exporting. [SEP] We have 25 -- we have over 50% more people moving jobs overseas as a consequence of these contracts, so it's all backwards.


I mean, biologically, you know, anything is possible, but there's no evidence whatsoever that we've seen, from an epidemiological standpoint, that pets can be transmitters within the household. [SEP] So, it's not surprising.


President Trump withdrew the United States from the disastrous Iran nuclear deal. [SEP] He slapped sanctions on that leading state sponsor of terrorism.


You pay, and we go ahead and spend. [SEP] And what's left is a file cabinet full of IOUs to future generations.


And not a lot of jobs there either, I want to tell you. [SEP] Not a lot of working jobs.


And what we're going to do is tell other people, If our markets are open for you, you open yours for us. [SEP] You see, we want to have trade, but trade that is fair.


U.S. leadership has been sorely missed over the past - past years. [SEP] And I have to say, as - as we're preparing the - the joint rollout and communiqu from this one, it's nice when the Americans are not pulling out all references to climate change and, instead, adding them in.


Workers who have paid into Social Security with every paycheck must receive the guaranteed benefit they were promised. [SEP] It is the knowledge of that guaranteed benefit that allows more people in our society to pursue the entrepreneurial dreams that fuel so much of our economy.


It was because of our intense skepticism and doubts about Russia's credibility that we insisted the Russians live up to their commitments before the United States would follow through on the actions we know the Russians are seeking, and that was military cooperation. [SEP] So the United States has not had to make any concessions in order to pursue peace.


The United States is founded on the principle that our rights do not come from government; they come from God. [SEP] This immortal truth is proclaimed in our Declaration of Independence and enshrined in the First Amendment to our Constitution's Bill of Rights.


It's promises made and promises kept. [SEP] I mean, think about it.


All these things tie together. [SEP] Because my vision is one in which-whether we're talking about housing or education or rebuilding America-the idea is you've got to show individual initiative.


I said, I never want to hear that again. [SEP] And I never want another President of the United States to hear that again.


But this is a coalition effort here. [SEP] We are not in the lead anymore, as the President made clear in his initial statement and again when he spoke to the people on Monday night.


Well, on the first question, the President is -- remains firmly committed to raising the minimum wage to $15. [SEP] That's why he put it in his first legislative proposal, and he doesn't -- he believes that any American who is working a full-time job trying to make ends meet should not be at the poverty level.


The AmCham EU Group did a study that said it could lift Germany's GDP by 0.6 percent if T-TIP was adopted. [SEP] We have our work to do to talk about the benefits, and I want to home in on two particular benefits.


But none of that. [SEP] None.


And the way to do that is to bring the interest rates down. [SEP] And the way to do that is to get the Federal deficit down.


And it's not just Africans who benefit from this. [SEP] The whole world benefits.


No, the plan I have is my manifesto for black America and to span, particularly the portion of it that relates to how in fact we're going to deal with the prison system. [SEP] If you are in prison, if you are convicted of a crime, no one should be going to jail for drug crime.


The first was commercializing research. [SEP] Italy does a tremendous amount of high-quality research in nanotechnology and biotechnology and in other fields, but unfortunately, a relatively small amount of that research ever becomes commercialized.


I don't want to say, No ammunition, but that gets a lot closer. [SEP] I said, I never want to hear that again.


Tonight, I'm announcing a crackdownon these companies overcharging American businesses and consumers. [SEP] And as Wall Street firms take over more nursing homes, quality in those homes has gone down and costs have gone up.


Most small businesses are Sub-chapter S corporations or limited partnerships. [SEP] And they pay tax at the individual income-tax level, which means you're running up the taxes on the job creators.


And the media said Donald Trump is exaggerating. [SEP] He knows that they're not getting a Rolls-Royce, I'm sorry.


The Senators' letter follows numerousreports of essential workers in meatpacking plants, processing facilities, farms, grocery stores, and markets falling ill from COVID-19. [SEP] Some workers have reportedly felt pressured to go to work even when feeling sick.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all members of America's Armed Forces in every branch - active duty, National Guard, and reserve - who stepped forward to help battle the invisible enemy - the new virus that came to our shores from a distant land called China. [SEP] We will vanquish the virus.


I say up, because the path rises just slightly. [SEP] It's been that way since they took out the steps so that Franklin Roosevelt could make it to his place of work.


Members of Congress and other Federal employees already have the ability to choose among health care plans. [SEP] If choice is good enough for lawmakers, it is good enough for America's seniors.


We've got a better plan where we keep investing in wind and solar and clean coal technology and where farmers and scientists are harnessing new biofuels to power our cars and trucks and where we put construction workers back to work refitting homes and factories so they're more energy efficient; where we're developing a hundred-year supply of natural gas; where we cut our oil imports in half by 2020 and create hundreds of thousands of jobs all across this Nation. [SEP] That's the plan that will move us forward.


Every Administration says they'll do it, but we are actually doing it. [SEP] We will buy American to make sure everything fromthe deck of an aircraft carrier to the steel on highway guardrailsare made in America.


Social Security and Medicare are the two things I want to talk about. [SEP] You know, they've been around a long time.


And I'm wondering, has the White House confirmed that local law enforcement knows the identity of this 10-year-old victim? [SEP] And has the President directed the DOJ to do everything it can to prosecute the abuser and protect her?


That's why through this whole COVID situation, I've always said one state cannot protect itself. [SEP] Either you defend against the virus everywhere, or it's fundamentally not effective.


The Iraqi people time and again have defied the terrorists and defied those regime elements who want to derail the transition to democracy. [SEP] Every step of the way they have shown that they are committed to a democratic future.


We know that if shops enforce social distancing as required by our COVID-secure guidelines, then the virus is less likely to spread, and crucially, we know that transmission of the virus is far lower outdoors, so we can confidently allow more interaction outside. [SEP] I understand that people will have questions as how to do as to all of this safely, and we will publish guidance on these changes to help people-


And President Kwasniewski informed the President of Poland's decision to buy F-16s. [SEP] President Bush welcomed this news.


But we've taken in billions and billions of dollars in tariffs on steel, and much of it comes in from China, but they can come through the Canadian border, too. [SEP] So we're always watching for that.


You'll either have flu-like symptoms or no symptoms at all. [SEP] But as we've said so many times at this podium and the American people get it: A healthy American could inadvertently convey the coronavirus to a senior with an underlying health condition and have the kind of heartbreaking results that we've seen in nursing homes around the country.


We're going to start drilling in ANWR - one of the largest oil reserves in the world - that for 40 years this country was unable to touch. [SEP] That by itself would be a massive bill.


For a while there were a scarcity of tests, and the fact is we didn't want to be first in line to get tested when so many people who had symptoms and had justification for it. [SEP] What I want is to have many, many more tests so that there isn't a competition for them.


I want to be very mindful -- I hear your questions about vaccines. [SEP] I want the American people to know that the COVID vaccines remain highly effective to reduce the risk of serious illness, hospitalization, and death.


And next week, I'll travel to a couple of job sites to talk about how Democrats and Republicans can work together to grow the economy and protect nearly 700, 000 jobs by passing a highway bill by the end of the summer. [SEP] I'm here because of hard-working Americans like Elizabeth and Carolyn.


The judging has been very unfair. [SEP] And knowingly, we always have a minority and it's not fair.


And every American should know that if they purchase illegal drugs, they are helping to finance some of the most violent, cruel, and ruthless organizations anywhere in the world. [SEP] Illegal drug use is not a victimless crime.


There are millions of Americans who were brutalized by inflation. [SEP] We arrested it, and we're not going to let it out on furlough.


It is a fight won through strengthening the rule of law and also through the promotion of human rights. [SEP] Our democracies cannot be sustained when people are denied their rights, their freedom, their dignity.


We don't want to have the test. [SEP] For a while there were a scarcity of tests, and the fact is we didn't want to be first in line to get tested when so many people who had symptoms and had justification for it.


You have the most successful, lowest unemployment rate you've ever had. [SEP] And then they say, somebody's gonna come and say, well we'll do a better job.

It's not the same country. [SEP] Not the same country.


We'll make sure our programs for children in low-income families are fully subscribed to. [SEP] But to make sure health care is affordable-that's what we need to address, the cost of health care.


African American, Hispanic American, Asian American unemployment have reached the lowest levels ever recorded in the history of our country. [SEP] African American, Hispanic American poverty rates are at record lows.


I want to start today by reiterating with an update of our vaccination efforts. [SEP] We are now vaccinating close to 3 million people a day.


We are encouraging investment from outside to Iraq. [SEP] And we are going to renew the local elections-shall in new-in near future for this country.


The private sector was very important in helping us pass this legislation. [SEP] And Patrick - I call him Patrick - but Pat Gelsinger, the CEO, was relentless on this, not only in his own advocacy but in mobilizing other supports to remove all doubt that the bill would pass.


For many children, school has been a safe and enriching environment. [SEP] For this past year and a half, many children have felt the effects of school closures, outbreaks among students and school staff, and ultimately changes in their normal school environment due to COVID-19.


This can be community college or a 4-year school, vocational training or an apprenticeship. [SEP] But whatever the training may be, every American will need to get more than a high school diploma.


In fact, when we were cutting taxes, we also eliminated the individual mandate tax at the heart of Obamacare. [SEP] It's gone.


We honor your talents, we honor your careers, and your remarkable contributions to this country that we love. [SEP] Throughout our history, America has advanced not only because of the will of our citizens, not only because of the vision of our leaders or the might of our military.


That if you do this, that you will not die from COVID. [SEP] So I just want to clear that up.


We've launched a historic initiative to reduce the price of prescription drugs. [SEP] And last year, this is--I'm so proud of this, because we have no help from the Democrats.


Iraq's oil infrastructure is being rebuilt, with the Iraqi oil industry already producing about 2.5 million barrels per day. [SEP] On the ground in Iraq, we have serious and continuing challenges.


But to make sure health care is affordable-that's what we need to address, the cost of health care. [SEP] Part of the reason health care costs are high is because third-party payers make the payment.


True, the Founding Fathers envisioned no role for parties, and yet 200 years of political experiences have shown their value. [SEP] Political parties clarify and sharpen the debate.


In the Oval Office of the White House, I welcomed home Pastor Andrew Brunson, great man, from Turkey. [SEP] He is now free from jail.


You also have transportation costs. [SEP] And of course energy costs come into that, when people are trying to move food from one place to the other.


I was asked here yesterday about the COVID -- COVID Response office and what was going to happen. [SEP] And so one thing I do want to share with folks:


I mentioned tax cuts, but it's also reforms. [SEP] But I'm looking forward to signing it.


We will do it because as Americans we can do no less. [SEP] For our children, we must offer them the guarantee of a peaceful and prosperous future, a future grounded in a world built on strong democratic principles, free from the specter of global conflict.


We still do not have confirmed ambassadors in critical posts like Saudi Arabia, Syria, India, Uzbekistan, Tunisia and Morocco. [SEP] We do not have a confirmed Deputy Attorney General, the number two post at Justice, which has oversight of the FBI and all U.S. Attorneys.


It's going to help us create more good jobs, ease the burden on working families, and strengthen our economy in the long run. [SEP] And I'm going out - I'm - I'm going to be out there making the case for the American people until this job is done; until we bring this bipartisan deal home; until our human infrastructure, also, needs are met; until we have a fair tax system to pay for all of this.


So, you know, but that's not a - I don't call that a vote. [SEP] So I want to thank everybody very much.


And now it's time for a government to get stood up. [SEP] There's time for the elected representatives-or those who represent the voters, the political parties, to come together and form a unity government.


The danger with the immigration issue is that it can be- it can lead to nativism and encourage behavior which is really not how Americans should view the world. [SEP] The long-term solution, by the way, to- for example, immigration issues with Mexico, is for Mexico to grow a middle class.


We have a group of citizens that are hard-working people, and we have a government that is responsible not only for its mandate but also is projecting the future of Ecuador. [SEP] And we are also having the basic foundations laid out for a democracy that will continue to survive.


This is a swindle. [SEP] It's a con job.


We went through a recession. [SEP] That's a hard time for a lot of people.


Because you'll have somebody standing on one of the networks - I won't say which one, but there are more than one; many of them - saying how it's a peaceful protest, and over the shoulder, you see the whole place is burning down. [SEP] It's become a pretty common sight.
