1,879	Now we are due to end the oil law, which will revolutionary for all Iraqis, due to review the de-Ba'athification. [SEP] We have our new draft for this.	continue
1,880	I would say that our economy - and many of you know that very well - is doing better than it ever has done. [SEP] Our employment numbers are the best that they've been, perhaps ever, but certainly in recorded history.	continue

1,882	Making sure that we're investing in the continuing education and training of our workers, so that they have more skills and that means that they can get higher wages. [SEP] That makes a difference.	continue
1,883	The longer-term problem in the Middle East is-and this relates to the economy-the whole region in some ways has gone down a blind alley where too often Islam is now equated with rejection of education, modernity, women's participation, all the things that allow you to thrive in a modern economy. [SEP] And that's not uniformly true, but too often those forces inside of Islam have been elevated, and moderate voices and voices that recognize Islam should be compatible with science, education, tolerance, openness, global commerce, productivity-too often those voices have been silenced.	continue
1,884	That means the country is going backwards in the economy. [SEP] In other words, we're not growing.	continue
1,885	The job they do - they go into these MS-13 nests - nests of bad, bad people - killers, in many cases. [SEP] And they go in there fearless, and they do an incredible job.	continue
1,886	We feel good about the progress that we have made thus far, specifically if you just look at the last few hours. [SEP] We welcome the Turkish parliament's strong vote recognizing ISIL as a threat to Turkey's national security and authorizing Turkish military action against ISIL in Iraq and Syria.	continue
1,887	We've had good-faith discussions with each individual country. [SEP] We've based our assessments, as I indicated earlier, on a wide range of data and analysis, including reports from the Department of Energy, the Energy Information Administration, the Department of Treasury, the Department of State, the intelligence agencies, from commercial sources as well.	continue
1,888	We know women grow a majority of the food, yet they are less likely to own the land they farm. [SEP] They represent a majority of frontline healthcare workers, but face disparities in health outcomes.	continue
1,889	First, what I would like to say is that I am really grateful to be here to express CDC's appreciation for the dedication and efforts of the public health community and the people here in Washington as you begin to confront and continue to confront this outbreak. [SEP] I would also want to underscore what's important to all the citizens of this state.	continue
1,890	But we want to see where the investigation goes. [SEP] And, again, an attack on critical infrastructure of our European allies and NATO -- our European partners and NATO Allies is a -- is a matter of concern for us.	continue
1,891	So that is from the nonpartisan National Bureau of Economics Research, again, determines the definition of recession. [SEP] So here are the facts.	continue
1,892	President Trump and I will not forget the history and the spirits of a great alliance. [SEP] Our two countries will work very closely in cooperation as strong allies.	continue
1,893	Many now suffer from rare cancers and other ailments. [SEP] When these veterans go to the VA for care, the VA says they have to show medical evidence of a disease or disability, evidence of their physical presence near a specific exposure site, and evidence of the link between illness and exposure.	continue
1,894	We are going to overcome addiction in America. [SEP] We have fought and won many battles and many wars before, and we will win again.	continue
1,895	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. [SEP] And right now Congress is bottlenecked in it but you're seeing state legislators and cities take action in some places and I hope that that grass roots movements to say that people can, you know, have guns for hunting and for protection but that we can also have some common sense rules like background checks.	continue
1,896	The money is going out. [SEP] This major investment will ensure that America continues to conduct more tests than any country on Earth by far.	continue
1,897	See, docs are getting sued too often, and they're leaving these small communities and rural communities in America, which means you don't have health care; you don't have access to a doc. [SEP] Plus, those who are hanging around are having to practice what's called defensive medicine, which is running up the cost.	continue
1,898	And, you know, the job we've done on health care, it's not talked about, but we're also doing something. [SEP] It's been phenomenal.	continue
1,899	And we have deployed over 235, 000 of these tests to the state public health laboratories in every state of this country to make sure that that point-of-care testing capability is there to research outbreaks, like in nursing homes or in certain industrial capacities, and well over 90, 000 to the Indian Health Service, so they could test at a point of care in remote locations. [SEP] The President also talked about a new first-in-class test; it's listed there as an antigen-based test.	continue
1,900	They're already beginning to come back, because of our abundant energy. [SEP] I'll get America and North America energy independent.	continue
1,901	Well, I would refer you to NATO and the Defense Department. [SEP] But we are part of NATO.	continue
1,902	One is, the threats that they really face are frequently in areas like terrorism, cyber-attacks, maritime security, threats to critical energy infrastructure. [SEP] And these are the types of capabilities I think that are probably most germane to addressing the challenges that most concern them at the moment.	continue
1,903	Now, my job is to communicate the fact that the United States has a stake in the well-being of the Muslim world, that the language we use has to be a language of respect. [SEP] I have Muslim members of my family.	continue
1,904	This critical effort is going to propel the most impactful breakthroughs at home and around the world and lower the cost of what we're paying now for polluting the air so badly. [SEP] We're going to move to net zero in a transition in all countries.	continue
1,905	They do a lot of polls, they call them suppression polls. [SEP] They make them bad, although our polls now are good.	continue
1,906	Anyone 16 and older will be eligible to get their COVID vaccine. [SEP] All three vaccines help protect against this virus and prevent hospitalization and death.	continue
1,907	And I've read the speculation about that that's what they may be doing, but whether they've doubled it or not, the idea of Iran having a nuclear weapon is unacceptable. [SEP] And it's unacceptable to the United States, and it's unacceptable to nations we're working with in the United Nations to send a common message.	continue
1,908	When they're not good, I don't talk about them. [SEP] But they do a lot of--see, there's the fake news media.	continue
1,909	And, look, that's fine. [SEP] If they need to do that, they got to do it.	continue
1,910	Let's make sure we utilize coal in America. [SEP] Clean coal technology is important.	continue
1,911	Even though we're continuing our dimmer switch approach of easing restrictions, we need to stay vigilant. [SEP] In addition to indoor masks, many of our strong safety requirements remain in place for public places in May, including social distancing and capacity limits, which continue to be important.	continue
1,912	This was the first nation in the history of the world to be founded with a purpose. [SEP] The great phrases of that purpose still sound in every American heart, North and South: All men are created equal -- government by consent of the governed -- give me liberty or give me death.	continue
1,913	And this is GDP growth that's higher than anybody ever thought possible. [SEP] First quarter was 3.2.	continue
1,914	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. [SEP] But again, when you go back to the rhetoric of the Trump campaign, it's not particularly surprising that the President-elect appears to be prioritizing over a bunch of other important issues.	continue
1,915	And if we're serious about excellence in education, we've got to put the politics on the back burner. [SEP] And Ed was telling me about the magnificent program you had here today with people from all elements in the educational community, and I think that's a very, very good thing.	continue
1,916	We have confirmed 187 federal judges who apply the Constitution as written, including two phenomenal Supreme Court Justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. [SEP] We are protecting pro-life students' right to free speech on college campuses.	continue
1,917	We were quite clear from the beginning that our efforts against extremists was going to continue unabated, and that if Russia wanted to cooperate with those efforts they would have to demonstrate a commitment to reducing the violence and allowing the flow of humanitarian assistance to reach those who were in need. [SEP] They haven't lived up to that bargain, which means they have not gotten the kind of military cooperation that they would like to see.	continue
1,918	Last year, a place I like, the sanctuary County of Milwaukee, released an illegal alien criminal with multiple charges for sexual assault of child. [SEP] Think of that, of children.	continue
1,919	You're busting your neck and what you're doing is you're saving people's lives. [SEP] You're helping them -- and you're risking your own in this moment of COVID.	continue
1,920	We had a great conversation about a half an hour long. [SEP] We talked about border security.	continue
1,921	And whether it's North Korea or whether it's so many different things like trade, we're taking care of a lot of problems that should have been taken care of over the years. [SEP] Well, one of the highest on the list is immigration.	continue
1,922	As I said, their records are being broken in terms of lack of crime, lack of crime. [SEP] We had a tremendous year, tremendous 12 months, tremendous 36 months, I think you can say during the term.	continue
1,923	Because if we don't set those standards, if we don't have strong labor standards, environmental standards, transparency, making sure that our companies are being treated fairly, if we don't set them, then China will set them, and our businesses and our workers will be disadvantaged, so we put a lot of effort into this thing. [SEP] Now our goal is to make sure that everybody here in the United States is informed about it.	continue
1,924	Nearly every single member of the House Republican conference just voted to slash the Drug Enforcement Agency, lay off over 2,000 Border Patrol agents, slash COPS program, and slash the FBI and ATF budgets. [SEP] And they are doing all of this just as they can continue to give the richest Americans and the biggest corporations a handout.	continue
1,925	And you'll hear him deliver a very forceful case in support of her vision, and values, and experience that she would bring to the job. [SEP] And I think the President, in terms of visibly making this argument, is only going to ramp up his activity in the four weeks that remain until Election Day.	continue
1,926	A person took money in order to put things in appropriations bills. [SEP] That's unacceptable in our democracy.	continue
1,927	We have enough vaccine for everyone to get vaccinated, and thanks to the American Rescue Plan and the hard work of the American people, we've administered over 325 million vaccination doses in the past six months. [SEP] We have the tools to prevent this new wave of COVID from shutting down our businesses, our schools, our society, as we saw happen last year.	continue
1,928	But the thing I would start by saying is: There is a reason that there is a crisis in global food markets, why there is a crisis of global food security, and that is Russia's invasion of Ukraine. [SEP] This is their invasion, their blockade of Ukrainian ports, the inability of Ukrainian grain to reach global markets.	continue
1,929	Following that meeting, we announced a breakthrough agreement to remove trade barriers and increase United States exports of agriculture, energy, and other goods and services to the European Union. [SEP] Now is also the perfect time to expand commerce between the United States and Italy.	continue
1,930	Here's the problem: First of all, Social Security is a pay-as-you-go system. [SEP] In other words, there's not a trust.	continue
1,931	This week, Iraq's Transitional National Assembly convened for the first time. [SEP] These elected leaders broadly represent Iraq's people and include more than 85 women.	continue
1,932	In fact, it would not secure our border, encourage more illegal immigration, increase chain migration, and retain the visa lottery system. [SEP] In short, it's totally unacceptable to the President and should be declared dead on arrival.	continue
1,933	Democracy trumps their ideology every time. [SEP] Freedom and democracy represent hope; their point of view represents despair.	continue
1,934	Well, the reason for that is quite simple -- is that the President, basically, wanted to try to fulfill the essence of what it means to compromise, which is stake out the common ground. [SEP] 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.	continue
1,935	Before my election, violent crime was on the rise, and America saw the steepest two-year consecutive increase in murders in nearly half a century. [SEP] It was in bad, bad condition.	continue
1,936	And we're right next to Route 101, and - where cars and trucks emit a lot of carbon pollution. [SEP] What we're seeing here is an amazing success story of how you can work together to make our communities more climate-resilient.	continue
1,937	Through fires, floods, and freezing weather, we will always stand with the American farmers. [SEP] The Farm Bill doubles the amount of farmers that they can borrow to expand and improve their farms.	continue
1,938	Median household income is at the highest level ever recorded. [SEP] And, speaking of that, in terms of dollars: Under President Bush, it was a $450 increase over eight years; under President Obama, it was a $975 increase over eight years; and	continue
1,939	It really rests on his right to be treated as a man equal in opportunity to all others. [SEP] It says that he shall share in freedom, he shall choose his leaders, educate his children, and provide for his family according to his ability and his merits as a human being.	continue
1,940	They have joined the IAEA, and yet we caught them cheating. [SEP] In other words, they weren't upholding the agreements, and they started to try to enrich uranium in order to develop a weapons program.	continue
1,941	Our trade has been a disaster. [SEP] We were being taken advantage of as a country by many, many countries - friends and enemies, and those in between.	continue
1,942	This is a very different relationship now. [SEP] It is a relationship in which economic ties are growing.	continue
1,943	We didn't have physical barriers in Naco, and illegal immigration and drug smuggling was absolutely out of control. [SEP] We built those walls, those physical barriers, and illegal immigration dropped exponentially.	continue
1,944	Let each of us here tonight in this Chamber send an unmistakable signal to Ukraine and to the world. [SEP] Please rise if you are able and show that, Yes, we the United States of Americastand with the Ukrainian people.	continue
1,945	In a time of COVID, in a time of, of climate crisis, there have to be opportunities for these women to succeed. [SEP] Because this climate crisis is a - it's a priority for us.	continue
1,946	We have resources and tools for consumers, and it's also a place where you can file a complaint when you're having a tough time dealing with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, or a debt collector asking you to pay a bill you don't even owe. [SEP] So we need to all work together across the government to make sure that medical debt is not something holding you back from getting a better job, from finding housing, or to get credit.	continue
1,947	And our meeting today was just one more joint step in the direction of that light. [SEP] I might add that we will always be grateful to Colombia for their role at the United Nations as we formulated common opposition to the forces of evil halfway around the world in the Gulf as we stood up to the aggressor, Iraq.	continue
1,948	That's something that's enshrined in our Constitution. [SEP] That's something that's consistent with past precedent.	continue
1,949	Probably very high on that list when you get to Washington and you're elected a member of Congress is figuring out a way to pass a budget that is responsible, that funds critical national security, that grows our economy, and that gives certainty to the agencies that carry out each of those duties. [SEP] Instead of passing another short-term extension, Republicans should actually do their job.	continue
1,950	The hardest part about running the country is dealing with crazy Democrats. [SEP] We're working on stimulus for people, because it's not their fault.	continue
1,951	That is just -- especially governor of Te- -- the Texas governor, Abbott, who has a track record of causing chaos and confusion at the border. [SEP] So I would refer you to DOJ on any legal matter.	continue
1,952	Corruption corrodes public trust and drives away investment. [SEP] It compels migration.	continue
1,953	Localities have to balance their budget. [SEP] There's a reason why the federal government couldn't be able to deal with crises like this.	continue
1,954	Trump and the Senate Republican refused to do the job. [SEP] This isn't a math exercise.	continue
1,955	Nearly 7 million people have been lifted off, very importantly, food stamps. [SEP] Seven million people off of food stamps.	continue
1,956	I speak to you not just as a President, but as a father, when I say that responsibility for our children's education must begin at home. [SEP] That is not a Democratic issue or a Republican issue; that's an American issue.	continue
1,957	And it's important to remember that as younger and healthier people return to work, and as we massively increase testing capacity, we will identify more cases and asymptomatic individuals in low-risk populations. [SEP] This should not cause undue alarm.	continue
1,958	The severe shortages of adequate COVID-19 testing capability and personal protective equipment are exacerbating these problems. [SEP] Lack of access to tests and personal protective equipment leaves essential food supply workers at even higher risk and makes the virus more likely to spread, harming more workers and further damaging our food supply chain.	continue
1,959	Let me reiterate those four prevention measures for you: Get vaccinated, get boosted, wear a mask in public indoor settings in areas of substantial and high-risk community transmission, and take a test before you gather. [SEP] I know many parents are wondering how they can keep their children safe for the holidays.	continue
1,960	Commercial development is stalling, and workers are missing out on these jobs. [SEP] This year alone, the lack of terrorism insurance has killed or delayed more than $8 billion in commercial property financing.	continue
1,961	Weeks, if not months ago, Russian officials planned to announce these pre- -- pre-determined outcomes. [SEP] The Russian government instructed security forces to occupy referendum workers as they collected votes and the Russian government falsified the results to advance the lie that the Ukrainian people want to be part of Russia.	continue
1,962	The former Secretary of State, who's passed away, said, We're the essential nation. [SEP] She is absolutely, positively right.	continue
1,963	Why you would do an unmasked Conga line in the middle of a COVID pandemic, whatever your political persuasion, defies logical explanation as far as I'm concerned. [SEP] The COVID Conga line, I like that.	continue
1,964	In addition, the Department of Education on the federal level has offered $250, 000 to the Virginia superintendent for instruction and $100, 000 to the D.C. schools superintendent. [SEP] And that money would be left to these local jurisdictions to decide the best way it could be spent to meet their local needs.	continue
1,965	A lot of this I think the foreign ministers hadn't heard; I don't think the leaders will have heard. [SEP] And so they need to better understand what our approach is towards Iran.	continue
1,966	And when she came back to Earth, she devoted her life to helping girls excel in fields like math, science, and engineering. [SEP] Young girls need to see role models, she said.	continue
1,967	One thing I can tell you, they are 100% and they will be for a long time. [SEP] And when they're not, they'll be taken out so fast your head will spin.	continue
1,968	And what is absolutely true is that we need to make sure that we bring about an end to the civil war in Syria, and John Kerry, through the work he's been doing in Vienna negotiations and this week in New York, is seeing some progress in bringing Russians and Iranians together but creating a safe zone for Syrian refugees. [SEP] We've tested, we've looked at repeatedly, the problem is that, again, without a large number of troops on the ground, it's hard to create a safe zone like that.	continue
1,969	They're going back where they came. [SEP] You're going to have a disaster.	continue
1,970	And they say that President Trump is the only one that's saying it right, and he's doing what you have to. [SEP] That's why people were so surprised when they saw the poll that just came out, where I'm up to 50 percent with the Hispanic and up 19 points in a short period of time.	continue
1,971	It is my firm conviction that China-U.S. relations face limited challenges, but boundless potential for growth. [SEP] With perseverance, we can surely write a new chapter in the history of China-U.S. relations.	continue
1,972	So we need to all work together across the government to make sure that medical debt is not something holding you back from getting a better job, from finding housing, or to get credit. [SEP] More and more people are asking, what is on your credit report and people are being disqualified because of inaccurate information on them.	continue
1,973	For example, early consultations with Pfizer referring to researchers providing screening methodology, in vitro testing, and the NIH-led Accelerating COVID-19 Therapeutic Intervention, or ACTIV team, generated the clinical trial protocol. [SEP] So, all of this is good news in that we now have one with -- that already has an EUA and one putting in for an EUA to have an orally administered antiviral therapy.	continue
1,974	And that is one of the things that is different about an arbitrary date for withdrawal, when you want -- when you say you're going to leave, win or lose. [SEP] We believe that the conditions are such now that we are able to celebrate the victory that we've had so far, and establish both a strategic framework agreement, which is a much broader document and talks about all sorts of cooperation that we'll have with Iraq from here on out -- from trade and health care and exchanges on science, and a real strong bilateral agreement that you would hope we would have with any of our allies.	continue
1,975	And it's employing tremendous numbers of people. [SEP] And you have communities that were down and totally out, and they're reviving like nobody has ever seen.	continue
1,976	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. [SEP] If you did the right thing, you could make it.	continue
1,977	It should have been stopped at the source. [SEP] We mourn for every life the virus has claimed, and we share the grief of all of you who have lost a loved one - and that goes worldwide, too.	continue
1,978	The United Nations was born in the hope that survived a world war, the hope of a world moving toward justice, escaping old patterns of conflict and fear. [SEP] The founding members resolved that the peace of the world must never again be destroyed by the will and wickedness of any man.	continue

1,879

Now we are due to end the oil law, which will revolutionary for all Iraqis, due to review the de-Ba'athification. [SEP] We have our new draft for this.

continue

1,880

I would say that our economy - and many of you know that very well - is doing better than it ever has done. [SEP] Our employment numbers are the best that they've been, perhaps ever, but certainly in recorded history.

continue

1,881

The United States strongly condemns the Taliban attacks in Kunduz, and we stand with the Afghan people in our commitment to Afghan peace and security. [SEP] Afghan forces have begun to retake Kunduz city and have successfully retaken several government buildings.

continue

1,882

Making sure that we're investing in the continuing education and training of our workers, so that they have more skills and that means that they can get higher wages. [SEP] That makes a difference.

continue

1,883

The longer-term problem in the Middle East is-and this relates to the economy-the whole region in some ways has gone down a blind alley where too often Islam is now equated with rejection of education, modernity, women's participation, all the things that allow you to thrive in a modern economy. [SEP] And that's not uniformly true, but too often those forces inside of Islam have been elevated, and moderate voices and voices that recognize Islam should be compatible with science, education, tolerance, openness, global commerce, productivity-too often those voices have been silenced.

continue

1,884

That means the country is going backwards in the economy. [SEP] In other words, we're not growing.

continue

1,885

The job they do - they go into these MS-13 nests - nests of bad, bad people - killers, in many cases. [SEP] And they go in there fearless, and they do an incredible job.

continue

1,886

We feel good about the progress that we have made thus far, specifically if you just look at the last few hours. [SEP] We welcome the Turkish parliament's strong vote recognizing ISIL as a threat to Turkey's national security and authorizing Turkish military action against ISIL in Iraq and Syria.

continue

1,887

We've had good-faith discussions with each individual country. [SEP] We've based our assessments, as I indicated earlier, on a wide range of data and analysis, including reports from the Department of Energy, the Energy Information Administration, the Department of Treasury, the Department of State, the intelligence agencies, from commercial sources as well.

continue

1,888

We know women grow a majority of the food, yet they are less likely to own the land they farm. [SEP] They represent a majority of frontline healthcare workers, but face disparities in health outcomes.

continue

1,889

First, what I would like to say is that I am really grateful to be here to express CDC's appreciation for the dedication and efforts of the public health community and the people here in Washington as you begin to confront and continue to confront this outbreak. [SEP] I would also want to underscore what's important to all the citizens of this state.

continue

1,890

But we want to see where the investigation goes. [SEP] And, again, an attack on critical infrastructure of our European allies and NATO -- our European partners and NATO Allies is a -- is a matter of concern for us.

continue

1,891

So that is from the nonpartisan National Bureau of Economics Research, again, determines the definition of recession. [SEP] So here are the facts.

continue

1,892

President Trump and I will not forget the history and the spirits of a great alliance. [SEP] Our two countries will work very closely in cooperation as strong allies.

continue

1,893

Many now suffer from rare cancers and other ailments. [SEP] When these veterans go to the VA for care, the VA says they have to show medical evidence of a disease or disability, evidence of their physical presence near a specific exposure site, and evidence of the link between illness and exposure.

continue

1,894

We are going to overcome addiction in America. [SEP] We have fought and won many battles and many wars before, and we will win again.

continue

1,895

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. [SEP] And right now Congress is bottlenecked in it but you're seeing state legislators and cities take action in some places and I hope that that grass roots movements to say that people can, you know, have guns for hunting and for protection but that we can also have some common sense rules like background checks.

continue

1,896

The money is going out. [SEP] This major investment will ensure that America continues to conduct more tests than any country on Earth by far.

continue

1,897

See, docs are getting sued too often, and they're leaving these small communities and rural communities in America, which means you don't have health care; you don't have access to a doc. [SEP] Plus, those who are hanging around are having to practice what's called defensive medicine, which is running up the cost.

continue

1,898

And, you know, the job we've done on health care, it's not talked about, but we're also doing something. [SEP] It's been phenomenal.

continue

1,899

And we have deployed over 235, 000 of these tests to the state public health laboratories in every state of this country to make sure that that point-of-care testing capability is there to research outbreaks, like in nursing homes or in certain industrial capacities, and well over 90, 000 to the Indian Health Service, so they could test at a point of care in remote locations. [SEP] The President also talked about a new first-in-class test; it's listed there as an antigen-based test.

continue

1,900

They're already beginning to come back, because of our abundant energy. [SEP] I'll get America and North America energy independent.

continue

1,901

Well, I would refer you to NATO and the Defense Department. [SEP] But we are part of NATO.

continue

1,902

One is, the threats that they really face are frequently in areas like terrorism, cyber-attacks, maritime security, threats to critical energy infrastructure. [SEP] And these are the types of capabilities I think that are probably most germane to addressing the challenges that most concern them at the moment.

continue

1,903

Now, my job is to communicate the fact that the United States has a stake in the well-being of the Muslim world, that the language we use has to be a language of respect. [SEP] I have Muslim members of my family.

continue

1,904

This critical effort is going to propel the most impactful breakthroughs at home and around the world and lower the cost of what we're paying now for polluting the air so badly. [SEP] We're going to move to net zero in a transition in all countries.

continue

1,905

They do a lot of polls, they call them suppression polls. [SEP] They make them bad, although our polls now are good.

Anyone 16 and older will be eligible to get their COVID vaccine. [SEP] All three vaccines help protect against this virus and prevent hospitalization and death.

continue

1,907

And I've read the speculation about that that's what they may be doing, but whether they've doubled it or not, the idea of Iran having a nuclear weapon is unacceptable. [SEP] And it's unacceptable to the United States, and it's unacceptable to nations we're working with in the United Nations to send a common message.

continue

1,908

When they're not good, I don't talk about them. [SEP] But they do a lot of--see, there's the fake news media.

continue

1,909

And, look, that's fine. [SEP] If they need to do that, they got to do it.

continue

1,910

Let's make sure we utilize coal in America. [SEP] Clean coal technology is important.

continue

1,911

Even though we're continuing our dimmer switch approach of easing restrictions, we need to stay vigilant. [SEP] In addition to indoor masks, many of our strong safety requirements remain in place for public places in May, including social distancing and capacity limits, which continue to be important.

continue

1,912

This was the first nation in the history of the world to be founded with a purpose. [SEP] The great phrases of that purpose still sound in every American heart, North and South: All men are created equal -- government by consent of the governed -- give me liberty or give me death.

continue

1,913

And this is GDP growth that's higher than anybody ever thought possible. [SEP] First quarter was 3.2.

continue

1,914

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. [SEP] But again, when you go back to the rhetoric of the Trump campaign, it's not particularly surprising that the President-elect appears to be prioritizing over a bunch of other important issues.

continue

1,915

And if we're serious about excellence in education, we've got to put the politics on the back burner. [SEP] And Ed was telling me about the magnificent program you had here today with people from all elements in the educational community, and I think that's a very, very good thing.

continue

1,916

We have confirmed 187 federal judges who apply the Constitution as written, including two phenomenal Supreme Court Justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. [SEP] We are protecting pro-life students' right to free speech on college campuses.

continue

1,917

We were quite clear from the beginning that our efforts against extremists was going to continue unabated, and that if Russia wanted to cooperate with those efforts they would have to demonstrate a commitment to reducing the violence and allowing the flow of humanitarian assistance to reach those who were in need. [SEP] They haven't lived up to that bargain, which means they have not gotten the kind of military cooperation that they would like to see.

continue

1,918

Last year, a place I like, the sanctuary County of Milwaukee, released an illegal alien criminal with multiple charges for sexual assault of child. [SEP] Think of that, of children.

continue

1,919

You're busting your neck and what you're doing is you're saving people's lives. [SEP] You're helping them -- and you're risking your own in this moment of COVID.

continue

1,920

We had a great conversation about a half an hour long. [SEP] We talked about border security.

continue

1,921

And whether it's North Korea or whether it's so many different things like trade, we're taking care of a lot of problems that should have been taken care of over the years. [SEP] Well, one of the highest on the list is immigration.

continue

1,922

As I said, their records are being broken in terms of lack of crime, lack of crime. [SEP] We had a tremendous year, tremendous 12 months, tremendous 36 months, I think you can say during the term.

continue

1,923

Because if we don't set those standards, if we don't have strong labor standards, environmental standards, transparency, making sure that our companies are being treated fairly, if we don't set them, then China will set them, and our businesses and our workers will be disadvantaged, so we put a lot of effort into this thing. [SEP] Now our goal is to make sure that everybody here in the United States is informed about it.

continue

1,924

Nearly every single member of the House Republican conference just voted to slash the Drug Enforcement Agency, lay off over 2,000 Border Patrol agents, slash COPS program, and slash the FBI and ATF budgets. [SEP] And they are doing all of this just as they can continue to give the richest Americans and the biggest corporations a handout.

continue

1,925

And you'll hear him deliver a very forceful case in support of her vision, and values, and experience that she would bring to the job. [SEP] And I think the President, in terms of visibly making this argument, is only going to ramp up his activity in the four weeks that remain until Election Day.

continue

1,926

A person took money in order to put things in appropriations bills. [SEP] That's unacceptable in our democracy.

continue

1,927

We have enough vaccine for everyone to get vaccinated, and thanks to the American Rescue Plan and the hard work of the American people, we've administered over 325 million vaccination doses in the past six months. [SEP] We have the tools to prevent this new wave of COVID from shutting down our businesses, our schools, our society, as we saw happen last year.

continue

1,928

But the thing I would start by saying is: There is a reason that there is a crisis in global food markets, why there is a crisis of global food security, and that is Russia's invasion of Ukraine. [SEP] This is their invasion, their blockade of Ukrainian ports, the inability of Ukrainian grain to reach global markets.

continue

1,929

Following that meeting, we announced a breakthrough agreement to remove trade barriers and increase United States exports of agriculture, energy, and other goods and services to the European Union. [SEP] Now is also the perfect time to expand commerce between the United States and Italy.

continue

1,930

Here's the problem: First of all, Social Security is a pay-as-you-go system. [SEP] In other words, there's not a trust.

continue

1,931

This week, Iraq's Transitional National Assembly convened for the first time. [SEP] These elected leaders broadly represent Iraq's people and include more than 85 women.

continue

1,932

In fact, it would not secure our border, encourage more illegal immigration, increase chain migration, and retain the visa lottery system. [SEP] In short, it's totally unacceptable to the President and should be declared dead on arrival.

continue

1,933

Democracy trumps their ideology every time. [SEP] Freedom and democracy represent hope; their point of view represents despair.

continue

1,934

Well, the reason for that is quite simple -- is that the President, basically, wanted to try to fulfill the essence of what it means to compromise, which is stake out the common ground. [SEP] 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.

continue

1,935

Before my election, violent crime was on the rise, and America saw the steepest two-year consecutive increase in murders in nearly half a century. [SEP] It was in bad, bad condition.

continue

1,936

And we're right next to Route 101, and - where cars and trucks emit a lot of carbon pollution. [SEP] What we're seeing here is an amazing success story of how you can work together to make our communities more climate-resilient.

continue

1,937

Through fires, floods, and freezing weather, we will always stand with the American farmers. [SEP] The Farm Bill doubles the amount of farmers that they can borrow to expand and improve their farms.

continue

1,938

Median household income is at the highest level ever recorded. [SEP] And, speaking of that, in terms of dollars: Under President Bush, it was a $450 increase over eight years; under President Obama, it was a $975 increase over eight years; and

continue

1,939

It really rests on his right to be treated as a man equal in opportunity to all others. [SEP] It says that he shall share in freedom, he shall choose his leaders, educate his children, and provide for his family according to his ability and his merits as a human being.

continue

1,940

They have joined the IAEA, and yet we caught them cheating. [SEP] In other words, they weren't upholding the agreements, and they started to try to enrich uranium in order to develop a weapons program.

continue

1,941

Our trade has been a disaster. [SEP] We were being taken advantage of as a country by many, many countries - friends and enemies, and those in between.

continue

1,942

This is a very different relationship now. [SEP] It is a relationship in which economic ties are growing.

continue

1,943

We didn't have physical barriers in Naco, and illegal immigration and drug smuggling was absolutely out of control. [SEP] We built those walls, those physical barriers, and illegal immigration dropped exponentially.

continue

1,944

Let each of us here tonight in this Chamber send an unmistakable signal to Ukraine and to the world. [SEP] Please rise if you are able and show that, Yes, we the United States of Americastand with the Ukrainian people.

continue

1,945

In a time of COVID, in a time of, of climate crisis, there have to be opportunities for these women to succeed. [SEP] Because this climate crisis is a - it's a priority for us.

continue

1,946

We have resources and tools for consumers, and it's also a place where you can file a complaint when you're having a tough time dealing with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, or a debt collector asking you to pay a bill you don't even owe. [SEP] So we need to all work together across the government to make sure that medical debt is not something holding you back from getting a better job, from finding housing, or to get credit.

continue

1,947

And our meeting today was just one more joint step in the direction of that light. [SEP] I might add that we will always be grateful to Colombia for their role at the United Nations as we formulated common opposition to the forces of evil halfway around the world in the Gulf as we stood up to the aggressor, Iraq.

continue

1,948

That's something that's enshrined in our Constitution. [SEP] That's something that's consistent with past precedent.

continue

1,949

Probably very high on that list when you get to Washington and you're elected a member of Congress is figuring out a way to pass a budget that is responsible, that funds critical national security, that grows our economy, and that gives certainty to the agencies that carry out each of those duties. [SEP] Instead of passing another short-term extension, Republicans should actually do their job.

continue

1,950

The hardest part about running the country is dealing with crazy Democrats. [SEP] We're working on stimulus for people, because it's not their fault.

continue

1,951

That is just -- especially governor of Te- -- the Texas governor, Abbott, who has a track record of causing chaos and confusion at the border. [SEP] So I would refer you to DOJ on any legal matter.

continue

1,952

Corruption corrodes public trust and drives away investment. [SEP] It compels migration.

continue

1,953

Localities have to balance their budget. [SEP] There's a reason why the federal government couldn't be able to deal with crises like this.

continue

1,954

Trump and the Senate Republican refused to do the job. [SEP] This isn't a math exercise.

continue

1,955

Nearly 7 million people have been lifted off, very importantly, food stamps. [SEP] Seven million people off of food stamps.

continue

1,956

I speak to you not just as a President, but as a father, when I say that responsibility for our children's education must begin at home. [SEP] That is not a Democratic issue or a Republican issue; that's an American issue.

continue

1,957

And it's important to remember that as younger and healthier people return to work, and as we massively increase testing capacity, we will identify more cases and asymptomatic individuals in low-risk populations. [SEP] This should not cause undue alarm.

continue

1,958

The severe shortages of adequate COVID-19 testing capability and personal protective equipment are exacerbating these problems. [SEP] Lack of access to tests and personal protective equipment leaves essential food supply workers at even higher risk and makes the virus more likely to spread, harming more workers and further damaging our food supply chain.

continue

1,959

Let me reiterate those four prevention measures for you: Get vaccinated, get boosted, wear a mask in public indoor settings in areas of substantial and high-risk community transmission, and take a test before you gather. [SEP] I know many parents are wondering how they can keep their children safe for the holidays.

continue

1,960

Commercial development is stalling, and workers are missing out on these jobs. [SEP] This year alone, the lack of terrorism insurance has killed or delayed more than $8 billion in commercial property financing.

continue

1,961

Weeks, if not months ago, Russian officials planned to announce these pre- -- pre-determined outcomes. [SEP] The Russian government instructed security forces to occupy referendum workers as they collected votes and the Russian government falsified the results to advance the lie that the Ukrainian people want to be part of Russia.

continue

1,962

The former Secretary of State, who's passed away, said, We're the essential nation. [SEP] She is absolutely, positively right.

continue

1,963

Why you would do an unmasked Conga line in the middle of a COVID pandemic, whatever your political persuasion, defies logical explanation as far as I'm concerned. [SEP] The COVID Conga line, I like that.

continue

1,964

In addition, the Department of Education on the federal level has offered $250, 000 to the Virginia superintendent for instruction and $100, 000 to the D.C. schools superintendent. [SEP] And that money would be left to these local jurisdictions to decide the best way it could be spent to meet their local needs.

continue

1,965

A lot of this I think the foreign ministers hadn't heard; I don't think the leaders will have heard. [SEP] And so they need to better understand what our approach is towards Iran.

continue

1,966

And when she came back to Earth, she devoted her life to helping girls excel in fields like math, science, and engineering. [SEP] Young girls need to see role models, she said.

continue

1,967

One thing I can tell you, they are 100% and they will be for a long time. [SEP] And when they're not, they'll be taken out so fast your head will spin.

continue

1,968

And what is absolutely true is that we need to make sure that we bring about an end to the civil war in Syria, and John Kerry, through the work he's been doing in Vienna negotiations and this week in New York, is seeing some progress in bringing Russians and Iranians together but creating a safe zone for Syrian refugees. [SEP] We've tested, we've looked at repeatedly, the problem is that, again, without a large number of troops on the ground, it's hard to create a safe zone like that.

continue

1,969

They're going back where they came. [SEP] You're going to have a disaster.

continue

1,970

And they say that President Trump is the only one that's saying it right, and he's doing what you have to. [SEP] That's why people were so surprised when they saw the poll that just came out, where I'm up to 50 percent with the Hispanic and up 19 points in a short period of time.

continue

1,971

It is my firm conviction that China-U.S. relations face limited challenges, but boundless potential for growth. [SEP] With perseverance, we can surely write a new chapter in the history of China-U.S. relations.

continue

1,972

So we need to all work together across the government to make sure that medical debt is not something holding you back from getting a better job, from finding housing, or to get credit. [SEP] More and more people are asking, what is on your credit report and people are being disqualified because of inaccurate information on them.

continue

1,973

For example, early consultations with Pfizer referring to researchers providing screening methodology, in vitro testing, and the NIH-led Accelerating COVID-19 Therapeutic Intervention, or ACTIV team, generated the clinical trial protocol. [SEP] So, all of this is good news in that we now have one with -- that already has an EUA and one putting in for an EUA to have an orally administered antiviral therapy.

continue

1,974

And that is one of the things that is different about an arbitrary date for withdrawal, when you want -- when you say you're going to leave, win or lose. [SEP] We believe that the conditions are such now that we are able to celebrate the victory that we've had so far, and establish both a strategic framework agreement, which is a much broader document and talks about all sorts of cooperation that we'll have with Iraq from here on out -- from trade and health care and exchanges on science, and a real strong bilateral agreement that you would hope we would have with any of our allies.

continue

1,975

And it's employing tremendous numbers of people. [SEP] And you have communities that were down and totally out, and they're reviving like nobody has ever seen.

continue

1,976

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. [SEP] If you did the right thing, you could make it.

continue

1,977

It should have been stopped at the source. [SEP] We mourn for every life the virus has claimed, and we share the grief of all of you who have lost a loved one - and that goes worldwide, too.

continue

1,978

The United Nations was born in the hope that survived a world war, the hope of a world moving toward justice, escaping old patterns of conflict and fear. [SEP] The founding members resolved that the peace of the world must never again be destroyed by the will and wickedness of any man.
