1,679	It makes us healthier. [SEP] Thanks.	not_continue
1,680	And the second point I'd want to make on this is about the test and trace, the NHS test and trace system. [SEP] If you do maintain two meters distance and the contacts you've had turn out subsequently have coronavirus, you will not be counted as a contact and you will not have to self isolate.	not_continue
1,681	Today, women can vote in Afghanistan. [SEP] Palestinians are breaking the old patterns of violence, and hundreds of thousands of Lebanese are rising up to demand their sovereignty and democratic rights.	not_continue
1,682	And we should reject violence or intimidation that's aimed at silencing people's voices. [SEP] The freedom to be heard is a principle that the Americas at large is committed to.	not_continue
1,683	In such a case our duty must be clear to all of us. [SEP] The Constitution says that no person shall be kept from voting because of his race or his color.	not_continue
1,684	But we must reject the politics of revenge, resistance, and retribution - and embrace the boundless potential of cooperation, compromise, and the common good. [SEP] Together, we can break decades of political stalemate.	not_continue
1,685	He's been-yes, that's a lot of grandkids. [SEP] The future generations who deserve clear water and clean air that will sustain their bodies and sustain their souls, jewels like Lake Tahoe.	not_continue
1,686	And we want every American to have a job they love so they can wake up each morning excited to go to work, like all of you people are. [SEP] Right?	not_continue
1,687	I think as you will hear this morning in the dialogue that is about to commence that America has elected a businessman as President of the United States, and he is committed to being the best friend business has ever had in the White House. [SEP] We've already seen the results.	not_continue
1,688	It's called Keep America Great. [SEP] I mean, we've done so much.	not_continue
1,689	Sometimes they engage directly. [SEP] The comments were certainly, I think, taken very far out of context by the media.	not_continue
1,690	Nobody could have done this. [SEP] We invested an unprecedented $8 billion to help Tribal communities have the tests and resources they need to combat the virus.	not_continue
1,691	So does New York City. [SEP] Since I asked Congress to raise the minimum wage last year, 13 states have taken steps to raise it on their own.	not_continue
1,692	The lowest in history by far, your number one economic numbers by far. [SEP] Oh, let's put somebody else in as President.	not_continue
1,693	Think of it. [SEP] They're giving billions of dollars for the pipeline.	not_continue
1,694	Learn the lesson from the spring. [SEP] The virus is in China, the virus is in China.	not_continue
1,695	Look, major action on clean energy, housing, caregiving, on child and paid leave, universal pre-K, free community college. [SEP] The human infrastructure is intertwined with our physical infrastructure.	not_continue
1,696	No. [SEP] That was great.	not_continue
1,697	This year, American astronauts will go back to space on American rockets. [SEP] In the 20th century, America saved freedom, transformed science, and redefined the middle class standard of living for the entire world to see.	not_continue
1,698	Drug prices will be falling radically. [SEP] Got a lot of people that are middlemen that aren't going to like me too much.	not_continue
1,699	The average sentence length for a convicted federal drug offender decreased 20 percent from 2009 to 2016. [SEP] During my campaign, I promised to fight this battle because, as President of the United States, my greatest responsibility is to protect the American people and to ensure their safety.	not_continue
1,700	So you can see the mathematical problem, right? [SEP] Greater promises to more people who are living longer, with fewer payers.	not_continue
1,701	And our thoughts are also with the survivors who've been torn apart by this tragedy. [SEP] As I told President Erdoan when I called him immediately when the first quake hit, that the United States is offering our full support - full support - rescue and recovery teams, and our NATO Ally deploying teams, with U.S. Agency of International Development drawing additional resources, including our armed forces in Europe to assist Turkey's teams on the ground.	not_continue
1,702	Today we hit the grim milestone of more than 40, 000 Americans now having died from the coronavirus. [SEP] Can you explain then why you come out here and you were reading clips and showing clips of praise for you and for your administration?	not_continue
1,703	You're right; it's especially tough for the African-American community. [SEP] The steps we took in the first two and a half years made a difference.	not_continue
1,704	We can do this, but it will take all of us working together, supporting one another and keeping our faith that better days are ahead. [SEP] Thank you.	not_continue
1,705	Opposition parties are now legal. [SEP] Mongolia held its first multiparty elections in July -- a free and fair vote that produced the first popularly elected legislature in Mongolia's history.	not_continue
1,706	They have waited years for a modern Medicare system, and they should not have to wait any longer. [SEP] Earlier this month in Chicago, I met Gene Preston and his wife, Dorothy.	not_continue
1,707	We are talking about the number-one killer of kids in America, and Republicans in Congress are saying there is nothing that we can do about it. [SEP] Schools, shopping malls, churches, movie theaters, grocery stores, temples -- places that are a part of our everyday lives, that are essential to our everyday lives -- day after day are coming under attack from weapons of war that have no place -- no place on our streets.	not_continue
1,708	Just as the Secretary of Agriculture had warned, this legislation has had grossly inequitable results. [SEP] Some cotton farmers were required to make little or no reduction in cotton acreage to comply with their allotments, other cotton farmers were required to reduce their acreage by as much as eighty percent.	not_continue
1,709	What's going on? [SEP] He said, We are moving many companies into the United States.	not_continue
1,710	And my budget will focus on this goal in a new and important way. [SEP] If federal programs cannot show results, they should be overhauled, or retired.	not_continue
1,711	And what's interesting is I can say that-I got one data point that I can share with you-the vote in the January '05 election was the second-lowest vote in the-as percentage of voting population, in the country, and the last vote, 85 percent of the eligible voters voted. [SEP] In other words, people had a sense of security and hope.	not_continue
1,712	What he was able to demonstrate, and I think what he was discussing, is the success that our military campaign has had in applying significant pressure to the ISIS leadership; that there are thousands of strikes that have been conducted by the United States and our coalition partners to take out ISIL targets, in some cases, even ISIL leadership targets. [SEP] Supply lines have been destroyed, fighting positions have been destroyed.	not_continue
1,713	He's in the back there. [SEP] Today, here at the White House, 10 individuals from across the country will be honored as White House Champions of Change.	not_continue
1,714	There's nothing political about them. [SEP] Look at all the people who took a shot at it.	not_continue
1,715	And I want to remind all Americans to adhere to our guidelines. [SEP] Very important.	not_continue
1,716	We would engage in a level of aggressive personal diplomacy in which a whole host of issues are on the table. [SEP] We're not looking at Iraq, just in isolation.	not_continue
1,717	And hopefully, we won't have too many battles, because we're building a military so strong that nobody's going to mess with us. [SEP] Nobody.	not_continue
1,718	Above all, friend and foe alike must never doubt this Nation's power and will to defend our people. [SEP] Eighteen years ago, terrorists attacked the USS Cole - and last month American forces killed one of the leaders of the attack.	not_continue
1,719	I said we'd wind down the war in Afghanistan in a responsible way, and we are. [SEP] You've got a new tower across the New York skyline, Al Qaida is on the path to defeat, bin Laden is dead.	not_continue
1,720	We do believe that it is important to get the message out, and we have been more aggressive certainly in recent weeks in trying to make sure that message gets out. [SEP] There is no doubt that the United States has a very good story to tell, that the coalition has a very good story to tell.	not_continue
1,721	Two men this year ask for your support, and you must know us. [SEP] As for me, I've held high office and done the work of democracy day-by-day.	not_continue
1,722	And in terms of Guantanamo, I think we have to step back and keep in mind who is at Guantanamo Bay. [SEP] We are a nation at war.	not_continue
1,723	This threat hides within many nations, including my own. [SEP] In cells and camps, terrorists are plotting further destruction and building new bases for their war against civilization.	not_continue
1,724	And with that, I'm happy to take your questions. [SEP] Darlene, why don't you kick us off?	not_continue
1,725	So there's a challenge, as you knew there could be, but there's also good news. [SEP] We've spent the last six months preparing for this possibility.	not_continue
1,726	Today, Cabinet discussions will also focus on crucial domestic policy issues. [SEP] I want to congratulate the House of Representatives for passing a vital and historic tax cut last week, and I'm very hopeful the Senate will do the same very soon.	not_continue
1,727	Minnesotans want a governor who cares for all people, whether you're a black, brown, white, disabled, or struggling with mental illness. [SEP] Senate Republicans are now turning to the only tool left.	not_continue
1,728	The actions this President took, the decisions he made -- some of them very difficult -- stopped what was already a catastrophic situation from becoming a Great Depression. [SEP] We now know that this economy contracted at 9 percent, almost, in the fourth quarter of 2008; over 7 percent in the final two quarters of the previous administration.	not_continue
1,729	That is a very interesting question, and some of you have posters to that effect. [SEP] I've learned a lot about what we can or cannot do because we thought: Well the Department of Education can help us.	not_continue
1,730	An amazing quality of life for all of our citizens is within our reach. [SEP] We can make our communities safer, our families stronger, our culture richer, our faith deeper, and our middle class bigger and more prosperous than ever before.	not_continue
1,731	Trade is part of my long-term economic growth plan to create more opportunities for all Americans. [SEP] In a changing world, we must give our workers the education and skills they need to compete and assistance and training to find good jobs.	not_continue
1,732	The first two jobs reports, as I'm sure you are aware, thanks in no small part to the leadership represented in businesses here in the room today, the first two jobs report show that under President Trump, nearly 500, 000 new jobs have been created in the first two months of this year. [SEP] Businesses and consumers haven't been this optimistic in decades.	continue
1,733	Jobs and investment are now pouring into 120 newly-designated opportunity zones right here in Wisconsin. [SEP] And Ron Johnson helped, and Tim Scott of South Carolina helped.	continue
1,734	And sometimes our friends, in terms of trade, were treating us worse than the enemies. [SEP] And I want to just tell you that's being taken care of very well and very beautifully.	continue
1,735	Whoever cleans this house or this apartment, or my house, ends up having to pay more tax than that. [SEP] So all I'm saying is a lot of this is - I think the vast majority of Republicans in the Senate still, and a significant portion of the House, are still the guys and women I grew up with in the Senate.	continue
1,736	And Lyndon Baines Johnson signed Medicare into law 50 years ago. [SEP] These programs - these programs are - do something so basic yet so important.	continue
1,737	We've had 68, 000-some detainees in detention since September 11th. [SEP] You have some 525, 000 men and women who are serving in our military or who have served in our military in Iraq or Afghanistan or at Guantanamo Bay.	continue
1,738	How can we hope to keep our military strong if our service members are forced to choose between their love of country and their love of family? [SEP] That's why supporting your physical, social and emotional health is a national security imperative.	continue
1,739	The word that I want to use is reciprocal. [SEP] When they charge 25 percent for a car to go in, and we charge 2 percent for their car to come into the United States , that's not good.	continue
1,740	This is an incredible time for our country. [SEP] I would say that our economy - and many of you know that very well - is doing better than it ever has done.	continue
1,741	That's why I've brought together a jobs council of leaders from different industries who are developing a wide range of new ideas to help companies grow and create jobs. [SEP] Already, we've mobilized business leaders to train 10, 000 American engineers a year, by providing company internships and training.	continue
1,742	About 70, 000 sites have a vaccine -- have vaccination now -- vaccinations now. [SEP] So, I think access from a pure kind of physical location point of view is reasonably good everywhere.	continue
1,743	The Founders had other things in mind. [SEP] In the summer of 1776, they declared that these colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States.	continue
1,744	We're working to encourage more vaccination, including through vaccination requirements. [SEP] Over the past several weeks, we've adopted vaccination requirements for federal workers, the armed forces, and healthcare personnel at both the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Health and Human Services.	continue
1,745	They want to - I guess, by abolishing ICE, they don't mind crime flooding into our country, because that's exactly what would happen at a level like we've never seen before in the history of our country. [SEP] And Republicans want to save American lives and support American law enforcement.	continue
1,746	When the President took office, the price of gasoline here in Nassau County was about a buck-eighty-six a gallon. [SEP] Now it's 4 bucks a gallon.	continue
1,747	It was super liberal, her and it was crazy Bernie. [SEP] And I say it all the time, I think Bernie Sanders is the nicest, greatest loser I've ever seen because No, it's true, and I mean this.	continue
1,748	For the first time in nearly 30 years, every single metro area in the United States has seen incomes rise. [SEP] Median household income is at the highest level ever recorded.	continue
1,749	It will destroy our country. [SEP] That is why I recently banned trainings in this prejudiced ideology from the federal government and banned it in the strongest manner possible.	continue
1,750	Palestinians are breaking the old patterns of violence, and hundreds of thousands of Lebanese are rising up to demand their sovereignty and democratic rights. [SEP] These are landmark events in the history of freedom.	continue
1,751	Now, having said all that, what is also true is that part of being a good friend is being honest, and I think there have been times where we are not as honest as we should be about the fact that the current direction, the current trajectory in the region is profoundly negative not only for Israeli interests, but also U.S. interests. [SEP] And that's part of a new dialog that I'd like to see encouraged in the region.	continue
1,752	Long-term unemployment dropped by the second-largest amount ever recorded. [SEP] Not only that, but the signs of further progress are already here.	continue
1,753	I've always shown myself willing to compromise - principled compromises that would still advance the interests of the American people. [SEP] What we've seen within the Republican Party has been a refusal even to engage on a whole range of issues like climate change, for example, that are vitally important.	continue
1,754	We and our trading partners had an enormous stake in the further removal of trade barriers. [SEP] Trade expansion would continue to benefit us all--the more so because of our growing prosperity.	continue
1,755	You can retire with dignity and respect. [SEP] And most importantly, you can provide your kids with the education and opportunity so that they can dream bigger than you ever dreamed and they can achieve things you couldn't even imagine.	continue
1,756	We got Choice approved for the vets. [SEP] So instead of waiting on line for four weeks to see a doctor, they can go immediately outside, get a private doctor, we pay for the bill, and the vet is in great shape.	continue
1,757	They made a documentary about Dick Chaney. [SEP] Now, I don't know much about the job of Vice President, but I do know if they can make a documentary about your time as Vice President, you Vice Presidented incorrectly.	continue
1,758	And so my friends, although tonight is a celebration, it's also an invitation. [SEP] We're at the start of something here in 2022.	continue
1,759	And they came to us. [SEP] They asked for a wall.	continue
1,760	In short, it's totally unacceptable to the President and should be declared dead on arrival. [SEP] The President has been extraordinarily consistent on immigration and what his priorities are.	continue
1,761	Well, Kevin, we also -- there are other things that you could cite, which is that the Russians have been supportive of our efforts to try to apply additional pressure and further isolate the North Koreans. [SEP] Russia did play an important role in bringing about the international agreement to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.	continue
1,762	So that question was asked before, but I'd be happy to answer it again. [SEP] Certainly, animals, pets can get infected.	continue
1,763	And we've seen what came about when the federal government does all of that -- that it's increasing premiums, increasing deductibles, decreasing choices. [SEP] You've got a card that says you've got insurance, and you walk in, and you can't afford what it is that's trying to -- for the doctor that's trying to take care of you.	continue
1,764	Let me say that again: The number one cause to children is firearms in the United States. [SEP] This is a choice.	continue
1,765	Because we're shouldering anywhere from 70 to 90 percent of the cost of NATO. [SEP] That's not fair.	continue
1,766	It's for - frankly, if you look at it, blue-collar workers, lower-income people are rising the fastest. [SEP] African American unemployment, Hispanic American unemployment, Asian American unemployment have reached the lowest levels in the history of our country.	continue
1,767	On the ground. [SEP] So however we can help, I will be there.	continue
1,768	I would tell you what takes away your freedom. [SEP] What takes away your freedom is not being able to see your kid, not being able to go to the football game or baseball ballgame, not being able to see your mom or dad sick in the hospital, not being able to do the things -- that's what costs our freedom and it's been the failure of this President to deal -- to deal with this virus and he knew about it.	continue
1,769	Now, I think that there's more of these people coming out of the woodwork than we ever thought nowadays, which is unfortunate and there's a lot of problems with Marxism in our hemisphere and we see what's going on with authoritarian countries like China, but nevertheless, people thought that we wouldn't be able to beat the Soviet Union and we did it. [SEP] These are really important things that people need to have a great understanding of and I think what you see now with the rise of this woke ideology is an attempt to really delegitimize history and to delegitimize our institutions.	continue
1,770	No matter our race, color, religion, or creed, we are one America, and we put America first. [SEP] We will not allow anyone to divide our citizens by race or background.	continue
1,771	As Congress returns to Washington this week, we urge the Senate to act as quickly as possible on these highly qualified nominees. [SEP] And with that, I'll be glad to take questions.	continue
1,772	It's a victory for the moral force of our values. [SEP] Every American can take pride in this victory, from the millions of men and women who have served our country in uniform, to millions of Americans who supported their country and a strong defense under nine Presidents.	continue
1,773	Good journalism costs the people, but it also costs the journalists. [SEP] It could even cost you your freedom.	continue
1,774	Again, I would like to extend my warmest welcome to President Trump to Korea. [SEP] Our friendship will continue to grow deeper and greener as the leaves of early summer.	continue
1,775	And we have a great opportunity to do so. [SEP] The G20 countries could mitigate the vast majority of climate change, keeping warming to 1.7 degrees Celsius if we act now - and we must.	continue
1,776	I just want to suggest that we do not have the luxury of having debates of that nature right now. [SEP] We all agree that we need to ramp up dramatically our ability to find this disease and get more tests in the field.	continue
1,777	And I stood in the back of the room - I'll never forget - during orientation, and I would meet that day, as it turned out, people who became lifelong friends, people to whom I became a godparent to their children. [SEP] There is so much about my education here that informed everything about who I am today.	continue
1,778	You know, we got the Veterans Choice and Accountability. [SEP] Choice is when they wait for two months to see a doctor before.	continue

1,679

It makes us healthier. [SEP] Thanks.

1,680

And the second point I'd want to make on this is about the test and trace, the NHS test and trace system. [SEP] If you do maintain two meters distance and the contacts you've had turn out subsequently have coronavirus, you will not be counted as a contact and you will not have to self isolate.

And our thoughts are also with the survivors who've been torn apart by this tragedy. [SEP] As I told President Erdoan when I called him immediately when the first quake hit, that the United States is offering our full support - full support - rescue and recovery teams, and our NATO Ally deploying teams, with U.S. Agency of International Development drawing additional resources, including our armed forces in Europe to assist Turkey's teams on the ground.

We do believe that it is important to get the message out, and we have been more aggressive certainly in recent weeks in trying to make sure that message gets out. [SEP] There is no doubt that the United States has a very good story to tell, that the coalition has a very good story to tell.

Two men this year ask for your support, and you must know us. [SEP] As for me, I've held high office and done the work of democracy day-by-day.

And in terms of Guantanamo, I think we have to step back and keep in mind who is at Guantanamo Bay. [SEP] We are a nation at war.

This threat hides within many nations, including my own. [SEP] In cells and camps, terrorists are plotting further destruction and building new bases for their war against civilization.

And with that, I'm happy to take your questions. [SEP] Darlene, why don't you kick us off?

1,725

So there's a challenge, as you knew there could be, but there's also good news. [SEP] We've spent the last six months preparing for this possibility.

Today, Cabinet discussions will also focus on crucial domestic policy issues. [SEP] I want to congratulate the House of Representatives for passing a vital and historic tax cut last week, and I'm very hopeful the Senate will do the same very soon.

Minnesotans want a governor who cares for all people, whether you're a black, brown, white, disabled, or struggling with mental illness. [SEP] Senate Republicans are now turning to the only tool left.

The actions this President took, the decisions he made -- some of them very difficult -- stopped what was already a catastrophic situation from becoming a Great Depression. [SEP] We now know that this economy contracted at 9 percent, almost, in the fourth quarter of 2008; over 7 percent in the final two quarters of the previous administration.

1,729

That is a very interesting question, and some of you have posters to that effect. [SEP] I've learned a lot about what we can or cannot do because we thought: Well the Department of Education can help us.

An amazing quality of life for all of our citizens is within our reach. [SEP] We can make our communities safer, our families stronger, our culture richer, our faith deeper, and our middle class bigger and more prosperous than ever before.

Trade is part of my long-term economic growth plan to create more opportunities for all Americans. [SEP] In a changing world, we must give our workers the education and skills they need to compete and assistance and training to find good jobs.

The first two jobs reports, as I'm sure you are aware, thanks in no small part to the leadership represented in businesses here in the room today, the first two jobs report show that under President Trump, nearly 500, 000 new jobs have been created in the first two months of this year. [SEP] Businesses and consumers haven't been this optimistic in decades.

continue

1,733

Jobs and investment are now pouring into 120 newly-designated opportunity zones right here in Wisconsin. [SEP] And Ron Johnson helped, and Tim Scott of South Carolina helped.

continue

1,734

And sometimes our friends, in terms of trade, were treating us worse than the enemies. [SEP] And I want to just tell you that's being taken care of very well and very beautifully.

1,735

Whoever cleans this house or this apartment, or my house, ends up having to pay more tax than that. [SEP] So all I'm saying is a lot of this is - I think the vast majority of Republicans in the Senate still, and a significant portion of the House, are still the guys and women I grew up with in the Senate.

continue

1,736

And Lyndon Baines Johnson signed Medicare into law 50 years ago. [SEP] These programs - these programs are - do something so basic yet so important.

continue

1,737

We've had 68, 000-some detainees in detention since September 11th. [SEP] You have some 525, 000 men and women who are serving in our military or who have served in our military in Iraq or Afghanistan or at Guantanamo Bay.

continue

1,738

How can we hope to keep our military strong if our service members are forced to choose between their love of country and their love of family? [SEP] That's why supporting your physical, social and emotional health is a national security imperative.

continue

1,739

The word that I want to use is reciprocal. [SEP] When they charge 25 percent for a car to go in, and we charge 2 percent for their car to come into the United States , that's not good.

continue

1,740

This is an incredible time for our country. [SEP] I would say that our economy - and many of you know that very well - is doing better than it ever has done.

continue

1,741

That's why I've brought together a jobs council of leaders from different industries who are developing a wide range of new ideas to help companies grow and create jobs. [SEP] Already, we've mobilized business leaders to train 10, 000 American engineers a year, by providing company internships and training.

continue

1,742

About 70, 000 sites have a vaccine -- have vaccination now -- vaccinations now. [SEP] So, I think access from a pure kind of physical location point of view is reasonably good everywhere.

continue

1,743

The Founders had other things in mind. [SEP] In the summer of 1776, they declared that these colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States.

continue

1,744

We're working to encourage more vaccination, including through vaccination requirements. [SEP] Over the past several weeks, we've adopted vaccination requirements for federal workers, the armed forces, and healthcare personnel at both the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Health and Human Services.

1,745

They want to - I guess, by abolishing ICE, they don't mind crime flooding into our country, because that's exactly what would happen at a level like we've never seen before in the history of our country. [SEP] And Republicans want to save American lives and support American law enforcement.

1,746

When the President took office, the price of gasoline here in Nassau County was about a buck-eighty-six a gallon. [SEP] Now it's 4 bucks a gallon.

It was super liberal, her and it was crazy Bernie. [SEP] And I say it all the time, I think Bernie Sanders is the nicest, greatest loser I've ever seen because No, it's true, and I mean this.

continue

1,748

For the first time in nearly 30 years, every single metro area in the United States has seen incomes rise. [SEP] Median household income is at the highest level ever recorded.

continue

1,750

Palestinians are breaking the old patterns of violence, and hundreds of thousands of Lebanese are rising up to demand their sovereignty and democratic rights. [SEP] These are landmark events in the history of freedom.

continue

1,751

Now, having said all that, what is also true is that part of being a good friend is being honest, and I think there have been times where we are not as honest as we should be about the fact that the current direction, the current trajectory in the region is profoundly negative not only for Israeli interests, but also U.S. interests. [SEP] And that's part of a new dialog that I'd like to see encouraged in the region.

continue

1,752

Long-term unemployment dropped by the second-largest amount ever recorded. [SEP] Not only that, but the signs of further progress are already here.

continue

1,753

I've always shown myself willing to compromise - principled compromises that would still advance the interests of the American people. [SEP] What we've seen within the Republican Party has been a refusal even to engage on a whole range of issues like climate change, for example, that are vitally important.

continue

1,754

We and our trading partners had an enormous stake in the further removal of trade barriers. [SEP] Trade expansion would continue to benefit us all--the more so because of our growing prosperity.

continue

1,755

You can retire with dignity and respect. [SEP] And most importantly, you can provide your kids with the education and opportunity so that they can dream bigger than you ever dreamed and they can achieve things you couldn't even imagine.

continue

1,756

We got Choice approved for the vets. [SEP] So instead of waiting on line for four weeks to see a doctor, they can go immediately outside, get a private doctor, we pay for the bill, and the vet is in great shape.

continue

1,757

They made a documentary about Dick Chaney. [SEP] Now, I don't know much about the job of Vice President, but I do know if they can make a documentary about your time as Vice President, you Vice Presidented incorrectly.

continue

1,758

And so my friends, although tonight is a celebration, it's also an invitation. [SEP] We're at the start of something here in 2022.

continue

1,759

And they came to us. [SEP] They asked for a wall.

continue

1,760

In short, it's totally unacceptable to the President and should be declared dead on arrival. [SEP] The President has been extraordinarily consistent on immigration and what his priorities are.

continue

1,761

Well, Kevin, we also -- there are other things that you could cite, which is that the Russians have been supportive of our efforts to try to apply additional pressure and further isolate the North Koreans. [SEP] Russia did play an important role in bringing about the international agreement to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

continue

1,762

So that question was asked before, but I'd be happy to answer it again. [SEP] Certainly, animals, pets can get infected.

continue

1,763

And we've seen what came about when the federal government does all of that -- that it's increasing premiums, increasing deductibles, decreasing choices. [SEP] You've got a card that says you've got insurance, and you walk in, and you can't afford what it is that's trying to -- for the doctor that's trying to take care of you.

continue

1,764

Let me say that again: The number one cause to children is firearms in the United States. [SEP] This is a choice.

continue

1,765

Because we're shouldering anywhere from 70 to 90 percent of the cost of NATO. [SEP] That's not fair.

continue

1,766

It's for - frankly, if you look at it, blue-collar workers, lower-income people are rising the fastest. [SEP] African American unemployment, Hispanic American unemployment, Asian American unemployment have reached the lowest levels in the history of our country.

continue

1,767

On the ground. [SEP] So however we can help, I will be there.

continue

1,768

I would tell you what takes away your freedom. [SEP] What takes away your freedom is not being able to see your kid, not being able to go to the football game or baseball ballgame, not being able to see your mom or dad sick in the hospital, not being able to do the things -- that's what costs our freedom and it's been the failure of this President to deal -- to deal with this virus and he knew about it.

continue

1,769

Now, I think that there's more of these people coming out of the woodwork than we ever thought nowadays, which is unfortunate and there's a lot of problems with Marxism in our hemisphere and we see what's going on with authoritarian countries like China, but nevertheless, people thought that we wouldn't be able to beat the Soviet Union and we did it. [SEP] These are really important things that people need to have a great understanding of and I think what you see now with the rise of this woke ideology is an attempt to really delegitimize history and to delegitimize our institutions.

continue

1,770

No matter our race, color, religion, or creed, we are one America, and we put America first. [SEP] We will not allow anyone to divide our citizens by race or background.

continue

1,771

As Congress returns to Washington this week, we urge the Senate to act as quickly as possible on these highly qualified nominees. [SEP] And with that, I'll be glad to take questions.

continue

1,772

It's a victory for the moral force of our values. [SEP] Every American can take pride in this victory, from the millions of men and women who have served our country in uniform, to millions of Americans who supported their country and a strong defense under nine Presidents.

continue

1,773

Good journalism costs the people, but it also costs the journalists. [SEP] It could even cost you your freedom.

continue

1,774

Again, I would like to extend my warmest welcome to President Trump to Korea. [SEP] Our friendship will continue to grow deeper and greener as the leaves of early summer.

continue

1,775

And we have a great opportunity to do so. [SEP] The G20 countries could mitigate the vast majority of climate change, keeping warming to 1.7 degrees Celsius if we act now - and we must.

continue

1,776

I just want to suggest that we do not have the luxury of having debates of that nature right now. [SEP] We all agree that we need to ramp up dramatically our ability to find this disease and get more tests in the field.

continue

1,777

And I stood in the back of the room - I'll never forget - during orientation, and I would meet that day, as it turned out, people who became lifelong friends, people to whom I became a godparent to their children. [SEP] There is so much about my education here that informed everything about who I am today.

continue

1,778

You know, we got the Veterans Choice and Accountability. [SEP] Choice is when they wait for two months to see a doctor before.
