690	Yeah. [SEP] It's a good question.	not_continue
691	You don't hear that too often, but it's been incredible, actually. [SEP] For the first time in nearly 30 years, every single metro area in the United States has seen incomes rise.	not_continue
692	Of course we are. [SEP] But for the last 40 years, what we have been seeing is a middle class disappearing, people working longer hours for low wages and today, as it happens, 58 percent of all new income is going to the top 1 percent.	not_continue
693	That's not nice, even for me. [SEP] She was describing the president of the United States and the presidency, with the big fat vicious, the way she said it, vicious f-word.	not_continue

697	And when I was in there, it formed and now you have what you have. [SEP] Hundreds of thousands of people are dead.	not_continue
698	This is something that is being handled professionally. [SEP] I also want to thank, by the way, governors and representatives of our various states - in some cases, some more than others - because they've really been working very hard in areas where we've seen indication of the virus.	not_continue
699	Well, a year ago we went into Grenada, and I don't think there's anything immoral about sending in our forces to save the lives of American students when their lives are in danger. [SEP] Now, I just want to say two other things here real quickly, because this is getting pretty nasty for you.	not_continue
700	The bill, introduced last week, also invests in teachers and students.

703	And we can't let that happen anymore. [SEP] We've been losing, for many years, anywhere from $300 billion to $500 billion a year with China and trade with China.	not_continue
704	It's been an incredible situation. [SEP] Our policies are rebuilding lives, rebuilding families, and rebuilding communities.	not_continue
705	But we're doing well. [SEP] A big difference.	not_continue
706	That is our responsibility. [SEP] In the next few days, I will submit a budget to Congress.	not_continue
707	I don't have anything -- any comment to make about that letter. [SEP] Again, our -- we are very appreciative to the bipartisanship that we have seen from Congress these past eight, nine months, even over a year on the funding that we've been able to provide -- the bipartisan funding that we've been able to provide.	not_continue
708	But the next few days weeks, months, will be hard on them. [SEP] Putin has unleashed violence and chaos.	not_continue

710	Before we start, I want to acknowledge the head of the National Science Foundation, Dr. Subra Suresh, as well as the members of my Cabinet who are with us here today. [SEP] Where is everybody?	not_continue
711	And we treat it that way. [SEP] When people walk in here, they don't come in here in bathing suits and flip-flops.	not_continue
712	Well, thank you all for being here. [SEP] We've had a tremendous three days in New York, at the United Nations.	not_continue
713	But I'm very upset that other countries aren't doing the same. [SEP] Germany should be spending much more.	not_continue
714	And so let me just quote here for a second. [SEP] In recent decades, the two measures we have put the most weight on are real personal income less transfer and nonfarm payroll employment.	not_continue
715	And now is the time for the world to confront this danger. [SEP] Look, we care deeply about the loss of life.	not_continue
716	The constitutional right affirmed in Roe v. Wade-standing precedent for half a century-is under attackas never before. [SEP] If we want to go forward-not backward-we must protect access to health care.	not_continue
717	No, anyway-. [SEP] She said, We said 'March to War' on our TV screens.	not_continue
718	That's how it's been done, and we will continue to do so. [SEP] The virus is unpredictable.	not_continue
719	The Army has new uniforms and they are gorgeous. [SEP] We passed the largest reform of the Department of Veterans Affairs in the - I think, in the history of the department, including VA Accountability and, I said, VA Choice.	not_continue
720	We're going to do our best to see if we can lower your tax rates so that we'll be even stronger than we are today. [SEP] I've got just one more here that I want to tell you-about his predictions.	not_continue
721	There are places on the continent of Africa that lead the world in digital solutions yet other places on the continent that lag behind. [SEP] Expanding access to the Internet drives growth and creates opportunity for innovation.	not_continue
722	And critical rights continue to come under withering and extreme attack around the country. [SEP] The President and Vice President are devoted to ensuring that every American has access to healthcare.	not_continue
723	It's unclear. [SEP] I think what we might be seeing now is that the President-elect cares more about his Secretary of State's position on Russia than he does about his Secretary of State nominee's position on trade and climate change.	not_continue
724	And nowhere - nowhere - does the Constitution give a minority the right to unilaterally block legislation. [SEP] The American people have waited long enough.	not_continue
725	We're going to raise the minimum wage to-Terry is going to-we strongly support it-to $15 an hour. [SEP] No one-no one-working full-time should live below the poverty line.	not_continue
726	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? [SEP] What we'd like to see in our bill is a system where there's massive testing, tracing, treatment, saving of lives with isolation that would go with it.	not_continue
727	The United States and our coalition forces that are in Afghanistan are currently providing advisory support in that effort. [SEP] I believe the Department of Defense does have some more specific details on which government facilities have been retaken.	not_continue
728	I refuse to let that happen. [SEP] I believe that the free market is one of the greatest forces for progress in human history and that the true engine of job creation in this country is the private sector, not the government.	not_continue
729	But it's happening elsewhere, too. [SEP] I think we're going to have a great four years.	not_continue
730	If you're interested in cooking, you could probably do that, but it has a lot of ingredients that go in there, but still very limiting. [SEP] We've worked with many, many different laboratories.	not_continue
731	And then we'll take some more questions, on the assumption you'd like to and I think you probably will. [SEP] It's been encouraging to watch states begin to open up as - and it really has been; it's a beautiful thing to see - as restrictions are lifted.	not_continue
732	And while we're succeeding locally in Kenya-poaching is down-the problem across Africa is escalating, and the demand for ivory is actually exploding. [SEP] We're dealing not with a wildlife crisis alone.	not_continue
733	We're not looking at Iraq, just in isolation. [SEP] Iran and Syria would start changing their behavior if they started seeing that they had some incentives to do so, but right now the only incentive that exists is our president suggesting that if you do what we tell you, we may not blow you up.	not_continue
734	One is they were the victims of abuse or their kids were, or their mother was. [SEP] Number two, can't read.	not_continue
735	Any taxpayer dollars being spent by the President of the United States, on the behalf of the Cong- - the Congress gave them the moneyto spend it - the President can insist that all of it be spent with American manufacturing, with - with American products, and with American personnel. [SEP] There used to be - and that's been the law.	not_continue
736	They want to have socialized medicine. [SEP] You go to the hospital, you don't feel good.	not_continue
737	They're doing one hell of a lot better. [SEP] Yet, we still have over, what's it up to, 186, 000 people dead.	not_continue
738	Okay? [SEP] Now, I must say, parenthetically, the real reason I'm here tonight is, my wife Jill teaches full time at Northern Virginia Community College.	not_continue
739	If you're a small business during a recession, your future is doubtful; it's cloudy. [SEP] Things don't look so good.	not_continue
740	Now, can something else happen a year from now? [SEP] Can there be a different virus?	not_continue
741	And, folks, like I said, everybody worries about China. [SEP] Do you know any world leader who would trade place with Xi Jinping?	not_continue
742	And to ensure that a crisis of this magnitude never happens again, I ask Congress to move quickly on legislation that will finally reform our outdated regulatory system. [SEP] It is time to put in place tough, new, commonsense rules of the road so that our financial market rewards drive and innovation, and punishes shortcuts and abuse.	not_continue
743	Not pressuring. [SEP] She's a brilliant woman and she understands exactly where everything is.	not_continue
744	And it is among the reasons why the threat to Americans of coronavirus remains low, despite today's tragic news from Washington State. [SEP] The task force met this morning and brought the President a range of options.	not_continue
745	It's about time. [SEP] Our deal with China, our deal with so many - they're all coming along very, very nicely.	not_continue
746	It's very unfair. [SEP] Thank you much.	not_continue
747	All of these programs are supported by the American taxpayer, and all of them matter. [SEP] To hear the testimony of these kids and teachers in Liberia about how our aid has helped them regain confidence-I don't know if you all were in there when the mother of three talked about-her husband left her, she said, because she was illiterate, so he just left her with the three kids.	not_continue
748	I'm not a policeman, but I would know that. [SEP] If you let these people out, many of them are going to cause tremendous problems.	not_continue
749	It continues to hope that the United Nations will make its contribution toward such a settlement. [SEP] Another setback was the failure to prevent the violence which later broke out in the Middle East.	not_continue
750	As our public health experts point out, every year, thousands of Americans die from the flu. [SEP] Second, Ebola is actually a difficult disease to catch.	not_continue
751	I mean, they had their committees. [SEP] See, when you go on a trip, this is not just like, I think I'm going to go to Afghanistan.	not_continue
752	On the issue of the Israelis, we were able to notify the Israeli government of the call. [SEP] I don't want to get into the exact specific channel.	not_continue
753	And that afternoon, he went straight home and insisted that his mother bake, rather than fry, the fish she was cooking for dinner. [SEP] I see it in the letters I get from young people who proudly tell me what they're doing to eat better and stay active.	not_continue
754	We believe that our efforts are best focused on supporting the diplomatic process. [SEP] I think the cessation of hostilities has, over the last several weeks, provided an opening for the restoration of some degree of calm in areas in Syria and has allowed for the delivery of some amount of humanitarian assistance to the Syrian people.	not_continue
755	How many Americans would have suffered as a result? [SEP] No single individual built America on their own.	not_continue
756	As we continue to confront the global pandemic, the United States economy is rebounding with strength like nobody thought possible. [SEP] You've seen the numbers.	not_continue
757	I don't know, Les. [SEP] The thing is the President celebrates Christian -- he's made no secret of his Christian faith.	not_continue
758	So right now we continue to have the challenge of COVID. [SEP] As you know, the Delta variant is threatening.	not_continue
759	Totally consistent with ever- - with every - every trade agreement we've had in worldwide - around the world. [SEP] Any taxpayer dollars being spent by the President of the United States, on the behalf of the Cong- - the Congress gave them the moneyto spend it - the President can insist that all of it be spent with American manufacturing, with - with American products, and with American personnel.	not_continue
760	Part of the Tax Code said that if you make an investment, you get a tax incentive to make the investment. [SEP] In other words, we accelerated depreciation.	not_continue
761	In the Battle of Mobile Bay, Admiral David Farragut lashed himself to the rigging of his flagship to see beyond the cannon smoke, crying, Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead. [SEP] In World War Two, it was aviators launched from the carrier Enterprise, Hornet, and Yorktown who filled the skies of Midway and turned the tide of the Pacific War.	not_continue
762	How we're using technology and online learning can also reduce costs in a significant way. [SEP] This is going to be, I think, a major topic of conversation for everyone - parents, students, professors and administrators going forward.	not_continue
763	It will start today, that program. [SEP] For folks who can't get to a pharmacy, we're deploying mobile units and sending vaccines to community health centers, federally run community health centers, to take care of the poorest of the poor, that reach the hardest hit, the most underserved areas in the country, black, Latino, Native American and rural communities.	not_continue
764	That's why the President called on every governor, mayor, and local leader to maintain or reinstate mask mandates. [SEP] To be clear: As our vaccination efforts move forward, we need everyone to follow the science and listen to the experts.	not_continue
765	As over time, as more ships come online -- and by 2014 we should have about four ships into the Mediterranean -- that footprint for the defense will extend to larger and larger parts. [SEP] IOC relates to the command-and-control capability of the NATO system.	not_continue
766	And that is a fundamental American right. [SEP] You ought to be able to leave your property to whoever you want to leave your property to.	not_continue
767	In January, over 8 million Iraqis defied the car bombers and assassins to vote in free elections. [SEP] This week, Iraq's Transitional National Assembly convened for the first time.	not_continue
768	That's in the Oval Office at the White House. [SEP] As you may recall, the event was originally scheduled for Thursday, January 5th, but had to be changed.	not_continue
769	That is why he wants to move the security relationship on to a different footing, because this is now becoming a normal relationship with Russia, not the abnormal relationship that we had with the Soviet Union. [SEP] Thank you very much.	not_continue
770	I think if you just read the interviews -- just read the two interviews side by side. [SEP] 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.	not_continue
771	Resiliency matters. [SEP] You know, I've toured many sites across the country that clearly show climate change is a genuine exi- - is the existential threat to humanity.	not_continue
772	You know, as I've said before here, when you look at an outbreak, it's two dynamic forces opposing each other. [SEP] If you leave the virus to its own devices, it will take off if you do nothing to stop it.	not_continue
773	The gap between the rich and everyone else is still way too wide. [SEP] Republicans in Congress have repeatedly blocked investments and initiatives that would have created jobs faster.	not_continue
774	And that doesn't solve the ISIL problem. [SEP] My point is, Steve, that I think my main advice to my successor - now hopefully by the time I turn over the keys, we've made the kind of progress that I am expecting and will have pushed for over the course of the next 13 months ...	not_continue
775	The country needs advice on Social Security, and that's what we're here to talk about after a while. [SEP] By the way, Tom Osborne and I had the honor of being at the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday.	not_continue
776	And we can do that. [SEP] There are nearly 2 million American-qualified women in America who are working-not working today because of childcare.	not_continue
777	Many have spent months looking for work. [SEP] Others are doing their best just to scrape by: giving up nights out with the family to save on gas or make the mortgage, postponing retirement to send a kid to college.	not_continue
778	Look, one of my objectives is to store the dignity of work - to restore it. [SEP] You know, we've made a lot of progress over the past two years.	not_continue

And fourth, the IRS and the Treasury Department are creating a plain English, easy-to-follow guide, as well as a web site, to help folks navigate what are often very complicated waters, especially for workers changing jobs, who often are unsure how best to continue saving for retirement, because the rules ought to be written to encourage people to save, instead of discouraging them.

Well, thank you all for being here. [SEP] We've had a tremendous three days in New York, at the United Nations.
