1,979	And growing up, Sally Ride read about the space program in the newspaper almost every day, and she thought this was the coolest thing around. [SEP] When she was a Ph.D. candidate at Stanford, she saw an ad for astronauts in the student newspaper, and she seized the opportunity.	continue
1,980	Look, the -- what we have seen this past two years is because of the work that this President has done to put forth a comprehensive plan to deal with COVID-19. [SEP] It is -- we have had the largest vaccination -- adult vaccination program in U.S. history: over 270 million people, Americans, receiving at least one shot of a COVID-19.	continue
1,981	They walked in and they helped a lot of - a lot of people: doctors, nurses, respiratory technicians, and professionals. [SEP] It was an incredible thing.	continue

1,984	That's how democracy should work. [SEP] He was simply explaining to them that this has to go through a process, because it's going through reconciliation, and that's all it was a reflection of: an explanation of the process, not a reflection of his commitment to raising the minimum wage.	continue
1,985	There's an agricultural component. [SEP] There wasn't a lot we could do administratively on the ag sector, but those whose businesses keep track and are related to what happens in agriculture understand that we should have a more efficient system for managing fairly, justly, agricultural workers who are vital to the economy.	continue
1,986	The Attorney General has already made a statement that we will be vigilant about protecting people's right to travel and also to look at the question about whether mifepristone should be available and how it can be available, because the FDA has already spoken, 20 years ago, that this is a safe and effective drug. [SEP] And at the same time, what we've asked for is, you know, continued vigilance and an ongoing process and ongoing work to make sure that that is really happening.	continue
1,987	China has devalued their currency in order to pay for the tariffs. [SEP] And in addition to devaluing, they've also pumped a lot of money into their economic model.	continue
1,988	So these are the current testing platforms available today throughout the United States for COVID-19. [SEP] And as you heard from Dr. Fauci, everything has to be working, from the swab, to the transport media, to the laboratory, to really get those tests run and the results back to the client.	continue
1,989	In this dangerous world-in this dangerous world, if our country shows uncertainty or weakness, this world will drift toward tragedy. [SEP] This will not happen on my watch.	continue
1,990	Today we are also addressing the crucial issue of trade and commerce. [SEP] We are working closely with our European partners, including Italy, to ensure fair and reciprocal trade.	continue
1,991	They cherish-they can't believe what happened to them. [SEP] And they're doing a phenomenal job.	continue
1,992	Or hire a veteran who is ready and willing to serve at home just as they did abroad. [SEP] Or just pause, take a moment, and offer a silent word of prayer or a public word of thanks.	continue
1,993	And as every credible person who has looked into it has said, there are no so-called death panels-an offensive notion to me and to the American people. [SEP] These are phony claims meant to divide us.	continue
1,994	Ninety-five percent of them run on diesel. [SEP] So, every day, more than 25 million kids and thousands of bus drivers breathe polluted air on the way to and from school.	continue
1,995	We have to be guided by the science. [SEP] We have to remember the basic facts.	continue
1,996	And then the other is sort of reaction among Republicans -- whether the White House believes that Republicans at this point have a duty to sort of disavow from him. [SEP] What your reaction to the sort of friction between Speaker Ryan and the Donald Trump campaign is, and what you're kind of assessment of that is right now.	continue
1,997	If the other side gets the keys, they say they want to give a $700 billion tax cut to the top 2 percent, millionaires and billionaires. [SEP] They don't have the money.	continue
1,998	In fact, Japan has about 5, 700 people involved in peace-keeping operations worldwide. [SEP] In terms of the discussions topics during their meeting, obviously topping the agenda is the security situation in East Asia, as they'll discuss our common approach to the North Korean nuclear problem, the ongoing realignment of U.S. forces in Japan, and ways to deepen our defense cooperation.	continue
1,999	These are important aims and shared interests. [SEP] But as we look around the world, it's clear that there is much work for you to achieve.	continue
2,000	We're in a situation where we're taking action every day to be able to address the issue with the spread of COVID-19. [SEP] Yesterday, or excuse me, Saturday, we were able to get the therapeutic remdesivir dropped in Florida hospitals across the state.	continue
2,001	NHS test and trace has been built from scratch, is now a colossal operation that is actually doing amazing work in isolating incidences of the disease and helping us to find out exactly what is going on and where. [SEP] The UK is also I've asked Chris and Simon to comment on this, but the UK is also out in front in conducting genomic testing of the virus cases so that we know exactly what type of virus.	continue
2,002	No parent should fear for their child's life when they go to school, and no student or teacher should ever have to worry about their safety at school. [SEP] Sadly, incidents of school violence are too common, and too many families and communities have faced these horrible challenges.	continue
2,003	And so he set policy to say we'll help Japan become a democracy. [SEP] Now, there were a lot of skeptics in America about that, and you can understand why, about that decision.	continue
2,004	It's not going to happen if we just pay lip service to conservation, but then refuse to do what's needed. [SEP] When scientists first told us that our planet was changing because of human activity, it was received as a bombshell, but in a way, we shouldn't have been surprised.	continue
2,005	I said, Oh, well, that ends the impeachment. [SEP] And you people don't even report it.	continue
2,006	Millions of people would have been killed. [SEP] I mean, you have Seoul, 30 million people, right off the border, 30 miles away.	continue
2,007	The problem is that the medical community is learning about long COVID, but long COVID is not a single disease. [SEP] It's not a single condition.	continue
2,008	And the pollsters got it knowingly wrong. [SEP] They got it knowingly wrong.	continue
2,009	We're dealing with people who are funding terrorism, and we're dealing with a crime that is fueled by corruption. [SEP] So we have two requests.	continue
2,010	You know, the first time I came to Cramton was during freshman orientation. [SEP] 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.	continue
2,011	We haven't. [SEP] We've been retracting.	continue
2,012	And I'll keep working with people in both parties to get criminal justice reform bills to my desk, including a bipartisan bill that would reduce mandatory minimums for nonviolent drug offenders and reward prisoners with shorter sentences if they complete programs that make them less likely to commit a repeat offense. [SEP] There's a reason that good people across the country are coming together to reform our criminal justice system.	continue
2,013	We have seen the ways this pandemic has threatened the social and emotional wellbeing of our children. [SEP] For many children, school has been a safe and enriching environment.	continue
2,014	It is important for the American people to know that. [SEP] We are in a different phase of COVID, as I just mentioned, and that's why we're able to do the announcements that we're -- we're going to see once May 11th were -- they're going to lift, essentially, once May 11th arrive.	continue
2,015	Again, a lot of the focus now is on small businesses. [SEP] And they are the lifeblood of our economy, a creator of jobs, a creator of wealth in our country.	continue
2,016	Child care, not only a big cost driver for families, but a big impediment for more parents and women to get back into the work force, this bill will cut the cost of child care by more than half for most working families. [SEP] And housing too, a big cost driver for families, this bill will build affordable homes all around the country to make it easier for families to afford housing and also to move to places where the job opportunities are.	continue
2,017	Seven million people off of food stamps. [SEP] And we're getting Americans off of welfare and back into the workforce.	continue
2,018	I know that sounds scary to many folks; it sounds scary to me too. [SEP] But here's the thing: It's not true.	continue
2,019	We're on track to rapidly produce 100 million doses, as soon as the vaccine is approved, and up to 500 million shortly thereafter. [SEP] So we'll have 600 million doses.	continue
2,020	To this end, the partnership between the public and private sectors is essential. [SEP] Partnerships that combine the experience and expertise of the private sector with the reach and capacity that only governments can provide.	continue
2,021	That's a serious border. [SEP] That's a wall like you never saw before.	continue
2,022	And it is a beautiful thing, the idea of a community college. [SEP] When we did our higher education bill, this was really important for us to have significant resources put there.	continue
2,023	You can talk about positivity rate. [SEP] You can talk about hospital capacity, but that RT rate, that is the bottom line.	continue
2,024	The Senate Republican hearing on lawlessness is an embarrassing attempt to distract us from the fact that they have failed to act. [SEP] Minnesotans, we are greater than fear.	continue
2,025	That's very common with viruses, but we have not seen that anywhere, whether here in the United States or anywhere globally, for that matter. [SEP] If the virus were to significantly mutate, then you would have to address that regarding the vaccine.	continue
2,026	The United States and the United Kingdom, of course, enjoy a special relationship. [SEP] There's no closer ally for the United States in the world than the United Kingdom.	continue
2,027	If that region is abandoned to dictators and terrorists, it will be a constant source of violence and alarm, exporting killers of increasing sophistication and destructive power. [SEP] If that region grows in democracy, prosperity, and hope, the terrorist movement will lose its sponsors, lose its recruits, and lose the festering grievances that keep terrorists in business.	continue
2,028	So, what Dr. Redfield was saying, first of all, is that we will have coronavirus in the fall. [SEP] I am convinced of that because of the degree of - of transmissibility that it has, the global nature.	continue
2,029	We were not immune from what was happening in China and what was happening in Europe, when the virus went from China to Europe. [SEP] And then, it came here from Italy, and from France, and from Spain.	continue
2,030	There are a lot of people, their success. [SEP] We've got a lot of them right here.	continue
2,031	Putin has unleashed violence and chaos. [SEP] But while he may make gains on the battlefield - he will pay a continuing high price over the long run.	continue
2,032	Send a message for reason. [SEP] Send a message for hope.	continue
2,033	I think peaceful protesting is fantastic. [SEP] I think it's great.	continue
2,034	The tremendous money that we've paid since the founding of the World Trade Organization - which has actually been a disaster for us. [SEP] It's been very unfair to us.	continue
2,035	The unemployment data released this morning show us reaching the lowest level of new claims since the beginning of the pandemic, and the moving average has been cut by more than a third since President Biden took office just four months ago. [SEP] We know the policies the President has enacted are making a difference.	continue
2,036	It's a three-pronged strategy, starting with-it's politics; it is a-it's security; and it's economy. [SEP] On politics, was to get the people to the polls to see if they even cared about democracy; just give them a chance to vote; see what the people thought.	continue
2,037	We know what fight looks like, and it's not over. [SEP] At the end of the day, it remains the same.	continue
2,038	Greater promises to more people who are living longer, with fewer payers. [SEP] That's a problem, particularly when you start doing the math.	continue
2,039	For too long, North Korea has evaded sanctions and used the international financial system to facilitate funding for its weapons and mass destruction and ballistic missile programs. [SEP] No bank, in any country, should be used to facilitate Kim Jong-un's destructive behavior.	continue
2,040	But as we've said so many times at this podium and the American people get it: A healthy American could inadvertently convey the coronavirus to a senior with an underlying health condition and have the kind of heartbreaking results that we've seen in nursing homes around the country. [SEP] It's the reason why, from early on, the President took decisive action to raise the infectious disease standards at every nursing home in America.	continue
2,041	I had the privilege of going to Cincinnati last week with the Vice President to a small-business roundtable. [SEP] And one of the business owners, one of the small-business owners there, said he had 18 employees last year at this time.	continue
2,042	We think that what has happened is that the principles have been laid out, and also the signals that we've gotten from Iran -- keep in mind, Carl, that in recent days there have been public and private statements by key players in Iran that they want some way to reopen an avenue of conversation. [SEP] We've always made it clear that it's not going to be a one-on-one conversation because this is not Iran versus the U.S., or Iran dealing with the U.S. It is the global community talking with Iran about a matter of concern.	continue
2,043	So, the world is united. [SEP] And I must tell you that I am more determined than ever to see that this invading dictator gets out of Kuwait with no compromise of any kind whatsoever.	continue
2,044	This bill would save most families thousands of dollars per year in childcare, helping moms and dads rejoin the workforce. [SEP] But also, this bill, when it passes, will allow every three- and four-year-old in the nation to attend high-quality preschool, increasing considerably their chances of getting all the way through the first 12 years of primary school and on to college.	continue
2,045	And so our goal is absolutely to make certain that individuals have the opportunity to select their physician. [SEP] In terms of premiums, we believe strongly that through this whole process and as it takes effect, that we'll see a decrease in not only the premiums that individuals will see, but a decrease in the cost of healthcare for folks.	continue
2,046	And so it makes no sense to do what the President is doing. [SEP] People can't make that up.	continue
2,047	We have a problem in Social Security, and that is, when baby boomers like me retire, younger workers are going to have trouble paying for us and, therefore, have money available when they retire. [SEP] That's just the facts.	continue
2,048	And it's very unfair that he goes to jail, and that Comey's allowed to do it all over. [SEP] It's very unfair.	continue
2,049	Over the course of several years the President has advocated a range of policies, both legislative and regulatory, to address the global challenges of climate change. [SEP] Last year in the State of the Union address, the President called for reducing traditional gasoline use by 20 percent in 10 years; it is called 20-in-10 program.	continue
2,050	I don't think many baby boomers were sitting around saying to their moms and dads or elected officials, Was Social Security going to be around? [SEP] We never asked that.	continue
2,051	Nobody knows if there's going to be a second wave of a literally mutated virus. [SEP] Nobody knows how bad the fall is going to be.	continue
2,052	At the very end you always have a few things that you've just got to get over the hump. [SEP] And so yes, I made calls to prime ministers, I made calls to presidents, I made calls to U.S. businesses, I made calls to a lot of stakeholders, environmental groups, to explain to them why it is so important for us to make sure that we've got a high-standard set of rules governing trade and commerce in this region.	continue
2,053	Other businesses are covering tuition for workers who learn new skills at community colleges. [SEP] And we're going to make sure the next generation of manufacturing takes root not in China or Europe, but right here in the United States of America.	continue
2,054	And as of today, 74 percent of individuals 65 and over have received at least one shot, and 52 percent of American seniors are now fully vaccinated. [SEP] Overall, nearly 100 million Americans have received at least one dose, and more than 56 million adult Americans are now fully vaccinated.	continue
2,055	This is a different problem from, say, marijuana or cocaine or heroin. [SEP] The barrier is very low -- they're free, they're in the medicine cabinet of your own parents or your near relatives or your friends' parents and relatives.	continue
2,056	CDC currently recommends vaccinating children against Hepatitis A, meningococcus, and varicella -- the virus that causes chickenpox. [SEP] These decisions were made because of the risk of these infections to our children.	continue
2,057	Beyond the risk of infection, the lack of personal protective equipment is also harmful to farmworkers who apply pesticides and lack basic protections. [SEP] It is vital that we do everything we can to protect food supply workers and federal employees from COVID-19 infection.	continue
2,058	The United States has provided more aid than any other country to Afghanistan. [SEP] This goes back for decades.	continue
2,059	When people walk in here, they don't come in here in bathing suits and flip-flops. [SEP] They come in here dressed like they'd come to a shrine.	continue
2,060	You're helping them -- and you're risking your own in this moment of COVID. [SEP] You know better than I do.	continue
2,061	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. [SEP] Especially in some parts of our country, it is horrible what's going on with opioid and other drugs.	continue
2,062	And I'm wondering, as more Americans are taking off their masks, if there's still concern about the virus and there's a lot of questions about who's vaccinated who's not. [SEP] I'm wondering what you feel the Asian American community in particular, are the dangers, or is there an opportunity now to try and get past this time and hate crime, or do you think the danger is as present as ever?	continue
2,063	We look forward to working closely with the government of Turkey to incorporate Turkey's unique capabilities into the growing international coalition to counter ISIL. [SEP] By the same token, the United States welcomes today's decision by the Danish parliament to authorize airstrikes on ISIL positions in Iraq and to provide trainers to assist Iraqi forces.	continue
2,064	You see, we want to have trade, but trade that is fair. [SEP] Level-we want a level playing field.	continue
2,065	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. [SEP] But we will -- we will be there and we will be ready to -- be ready to react once we have -- the investigation is completed.	continue
2,066	And they get them out. [SEP] They either go to jail or they get out of the country.	continue
2,067	They're in Puerto Rico, and we're going to continue to give as much assistance as possible. [SEP] And I would refer you to them on some of those specifics.	continue
2,068	We've been in touch with the WHO on a regular basis. [SEP] They are tracking whether virus is mutating anywhere in the world.	continue
2,069	I think that the collective efforts the G7 has taken with sanctions, export controls, and other measures against Russia is having a dramatic effect on the Russian economy. [SEP] The Russian economy is expected to shrink by double digits this year, and that's just looking at headline GDP.	continue
2,070	But rarely in any time does an issue lay bare the secret heart of America itself. [SEP] Rarely are we met with a challenge, not to our growth or abundance, our welfare or our security, but rather to the values and the purposes and the meaning of our beloved Nation.	continue
2,071	To give you an idea of the magnitude of this, the Detroit-Windsor crossing accounts for about one-fourth of all trade between the United States and Canada. [SEP] And if you compare that with, for instance, our global trade, there is more commerce along that one corridor than there are in terms of what we import from Japan -- so to give you again the magnitude of this, so things like ports of entry, the infrastructure.	continue
2,072	A lot of places have walk-in appointments. [SEP] And again, we're just encouraging everyone to share the message about the importance of vaccination.	continue
2,073	Iraq's regime agreed. [SEP] It broke this promise.	continue
2,074	There is still much more that needs to be done. [SEP] And that's why the President is focused on passing the American Jobs Act, for example, the need to work with Congress to do more to help the economy create jobs and grow faster.	continue
2,075	And we are looking at long-term jail sentences for these vandals and these hoodlums and these anarchists and agitators, and call them whatever you want. [SEP] Some people don't like that language, but that's what they are.	continue
2,076	And we've got strong support in the United Nations with resolutions that people wouldn't even believe possible 2 or 3 years ago all because of the naked aggression of Saddam Hussein. [SEP] So, the world is united.	continue
2,077	You've got the floods that have caused so much instability. [SEP] You've got reports that the military may try to install a new President.	continue
2,078	This will not happen on my watch. [SEP] I want to share with you some of the lessons of September the 11th.	continue

We have seen the ways this pandemic has threatened the social and emotional wellbeing of our children. [SEP] For many children, school has been a safe and enriching environment.

continue

2,014

It is important for the American people to know that. [SEP] We are in a different phase of COVID, as I just mentioned, and that's why we're able to do the announcements that we're -- we're going to see once May 11th were -- they're going to lift, essentially, once May 11th arrive.

continue

2,015

Again, a lot of the focus now is on small businesses. [SEP] And they are the lifeblood of our economy, a creator of jobs, a creator of wealth in our country.

continue

2,016

Child care, not only a big cost driver for families, but a big impediment for more parents and women to get back into the work force, this bill will cut the cost of child care by more than half for most working families. [SEP] And housing too, a big cost driver for families, this bill will build affordable homes all around the country to make it easier for families to afford housing and also to move to places where the job opportunities are.

continue

2,017

Seven million people off of food stamps. [SEP] And we're getting Americans off of welfare and back into the workforce.

continue

2,018

I know that sounds scary to many folks; it sounds scary to me too. [SEP] But here's the thing: It's not true.

continue

2,019

We're on track to rapidly produce 100 million doses, as soon as the vaccine is approved, and up to 500 million shortly thereafter. [SEP] So we'll have 600 million doses.

continue

2,020

To this end, the partnership between the public and private sectors is essential. [SEP] Partnerships that combine the experience and expertise of the private sector with the reach and capacity that only governments can provide.

continue

2,021

That's a serious border. [SEP] That's a wall like you never saw before.

continue

2,022

And it is a beautiful thing, the idea of a community college. [SEP] When we did our higher education bill, this was really important for us to have significant resources put there.

continue

2,023

You can talk about positivity rate. [SEP] You can talk about hospital capacity, but that RT rate, that is the bottom line.

continue

2,024

The Senate Republican hearing on lawlessness is an embarrassing attempt to distract us from the fact that they have failed to act. [SEP] Minnesotans, we are greater than fear.

continue

2,025

That's very common with viruses, but we have not seen that anywhere, whether here in the United States or anywhere globally, for that matter. [SEP] If the virus were to significantly mutate, then you would have to address that regarding the vaccine.

continue

2,026

The United States and the United Kingdom, of course, enjoy a special relationship. [SEP] There's no closer ally for the United States in the world than the United Kingdom.

continue

2,027

If that region is abandoned to dictators and terrorists, it will be a constant source of violence and alarm, exporting killers of increasing sophistication and destructive power. [SEP] If that region grows in democracy, prosperity, and hope, the terrorist movement will lose its sponsors, lose its recruits, and lose the festering grievances that keep terrorists in business.

continue

2,028

So, what Dr. Redfield was saying, first of all, is that we will have coronavirus in the fall. [SEP] I am convinced of that because of the degree of - of transmissibility that it has, the global nature.

continue

2,029

We were not immune from what was happening in China and what was happening in Europe, when the virus went from China to Europe. [SEP] And then, it came here from Italy, and from France, and from Spain.

continue

2,030

There are a lot of people, their success. [SEP] We've got a lot of them right here.

continue

2,031

Putin has unleashed violence and chaos. [SEP] But while he may make gains on the battlefield - he will pay a continuing high price over the long run.

continue

2,032

Send a message for reason. [SEP] Send a message for hope.

continue

2,033

I think peaceful protesting is fantastic. [SEP] I think it's great.

continue

2,034

The tremendous money that we've paid since the founding of the World Trade Organization - which has actually been a disaster for us. [SEP] It's been very unfair to us.

continue

2,035

The unemployment data released this morning show us reaching the lowest level of new claims since the beginning of the pandemic, and the moving average has been cut by more than a third since President Biden took office just four months ago. [SEP] We know the policies the President has enacted are making a difference.

continue

2,036

It's a three-pronged strategy, starting with-it's politics; it is a-it's security; and it's economy. [SEP] On politics, was to get the people to the polls to see if they even cared about democracy; just give them a chance to vote; see what the people thought.

continue

2,037

We know what fight looks like, and it's not over. [SEP] At the end of the day, it remains the same.

continue

2,038

Greater promises to more people who are living longer, with fewer payers. [SEP] That's a problem, particularly when you start doing the math.

continue

2,039

For too long, North Korea has evaded sanctions and used the international financial system to facilitate funding for its weapons and mass destruction and ballistic missile programs. [SEP] No bank, in any country, should be used to facilitate Kim Jong-un's destructive behavior.

continue

2,040

But as we've said so many times at this podium and the American people get it: A healthy American could inadvertently convey the coronavirus to a senior with an underlying health condition and have the kind of heartbreaking results that we've seen in nursing homes around the country. [SEP] It's the reason why, from early on, the President took decisive action to raise the infectious disease standards at every nursing home in America.

continue

2,041

I had the privilege of going to Cincinnati last week with the Vice President to a small-business roundtable. [SEP] And one of the business owners, one of the small-business owners there, said he had 18 employees last year at this time.

continue

2,042

We think that what has happened is that the principles have been laid out, and also the signals that we've gotten from Iran -- keep in mind, Carl, that in recent days there have been public and private statements by key players in Iran that they want some way to reopen an avenue of conversation. [SEP] We've always made it clear that it's not going to be a one-on-one conversation because this is not Iran versus the U.S., or Iran dealing with the U.S. It is the global community talking with Iran about a matter of concern.

continue

2,043

So, the world is united. [SEP] And I must tell you that I am more determined than ever to see that this invading dictator gets out of Kuwait with no compromise of any kind whatsoever.

continue

2,044

This bill would save most families thousands of dollars per year in childcare, helping moms and dads rejoin the workforce. [SEP] But also, this bill, when it passes, will allow every three- and four-year-old in the nation to attend high-quality preschool, increasing considerably their chances of getting all the way through the first 12 years of primary school and on to college.

continue

2,045

And so our goal is absolutely to make certain that individuals have the opportunity to select their physician. [SEP] In terms of premiums, we believe strongly that through this whole process and as it takes effect, that we'll see a decrease in not only the premiums that individuals will see, but a decrease in the cost of healthcare for folks.

continue

2,046

And so it makes no sense to do what the President is doing. [SEP] People can't make that up.

continue

2,047

We have a problem in Social Security, and that is, when baby boomers like me retire, younger workers are going to have trouble paying for us and, therefore, have money available when they retire. [SEP] That's just the facts.

continue

2,048

And it's very unfair that he goes to jail, and that Comey's allowed to do it all over. [SEP] It's very unfair.

continue

2,049

Over the course of several years the President has advocated a range of policies, both legislative and regulatory, to address the global challenges of climate change. [SEP] Last year in the State of the Union address, the President called for reducing traditional gasoline use by 20 percent in 10 years; it is called 20-in-10 program.

continue

2,050

I don't think many baby boomers were sitting around saying to their moms and dads or elected officials, Was Social Security going to be around? [SEP] We never asked that.

continue

2,051

Nobody knows if there's going to be a second wave of a literally mutated virus. [SEP] Nobody knows how bad the fall is going to be.

continue

2,052

At the very end you always have a few things that you've just got to get over the hump. [SEP] And so yes, I made calls to prime ministers, I made calls to presidents, I made calls to U.S. businesses, I made calls to a lot of stakeholders, environmental groups, to explain to them why it is so important for us to make sure that we've got a high-standard set of rules governing trade and commerce in this region.

continue

2,053

Other businesses are covering tuition for workers who learn new skills at community colleges. [SEP] And we're going to make sure the next generation of manufacturing takes root not in China or Europe, but right here in the United States of America.

continue

2,054

And as of today, 74 percent of individuals 65 and over have received at least one shot, and 52 percent of American seniors are now fully vaccinated. [SEP] Overall, nearly 100 million Americans have received at least one dose, and more than 56 million adult Americans are now fully vaccinated.

continue

2,055

This is a different problem from, say, marijuana or cocaine or heroin. [SEP] The barrier is very low -- they're free, they're in the medicine cabinet of your own parents or your near relatives or your friends' parents and relatives.

continue

2,056

CDC currently recommends vaccinating children against Hepatitis A, meningococcus, and varicella -- the virus that causes chickenpox. [SEP] These decisions were made because of the risk of these infections to our children.

continue

2,057

Beyond the risk of infection, the lack of personal protective equipment is also harmful to farmworkers who apply pesticides and lack basic protections. [SEP] It is vital that we do everything we can to protect food supply workers and federal employees from COVID-19 infection.

continue

2,058

The United States has provided more aid than any other country to Afghanistan. [SEP] This goes back for decades.

continue

2,059

When people walk in here, they don't come in here in bathing suits and flip-flops. [SEP] They come in here dressed like they'd come to a shrine.

continue

2,060

You're helping them -- and you're risking your own in this moment of COVID. [SEP] You know better than I do.

continue

2,061

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. [SEP] Especially in some parts of our country, it is horrible what's going on with opioid and other drugs.

continue

2,062

And I'm wondering, as more Americans are taking off their masks, if there's still concern about the virus and there's a lot of questions about who's vaccinated who's not. [SEP] I'm wondering what you feel the Asian American community in particular, are the dangers, or is there an opportunity now to try and get past this time and hate crime, or do you think the danger is as present as ever?

continue

2,063

We look forward to working closely with the government of Turkey to incorporate Turkey's unique capabilities into the growing international coalition to counter ISIL. [SEP] By the same token, the United States welcomes today's decision by the Danish parliament to authorize airstrikes on ISIL positions in Iraq and to provide trainers to assist Iraqi forces.

continue

2,064

You see, we want to have trade, but trade that is fair. [SEP] Level-we want a level playing field.

continue

2,065

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. [SEP] But we will -- we will be there and we will be ready to -- be ready to react once we have -- the investigation is completed.

continue

2,066

And they get them out. [SEP] They either go to jail or they get out of the country.

continue

2,067

They're in Puerto Rico, and we're going to continue to give as much assistance as possible. [SEP] And I would refer you to them on some of those specifics.

continue

2,068

We've been in touch with the WHO on a regular basis. [SEP] They are tracking whether virus is mutating anywhere in the world.

continue

2,069

I think that the collective efforts the G7 has taken with sanctions, export controls, and other measures against Russia is having a dramatic effect on the Russian economy. [SEP] The Russian economy is expected to shrink by double digits this year, and that's just looking at headline GDP.

continue

2,070

But rarely in any time does an issue lay bare the secret heart of America itself. [SEP] Rarely are we met with a challenge, not to our growth or abundance, our welfare or our security, but rather to the values and the purposes and the meaning of our beloved Nation.

continue

2,071

To give you an idea of the magnitude of this, the Detroit-Windsor crossing accounts for about one-fourth of all trade between the United States and Canada. [SEP] And if you compare that with, for instance, our global trade, there is more commerce along that one corridor than there are in terms of what we import from Japan -- so to give you again the magnitude of this, so things like ports of entry, the infrastructure.

continue

2,072

A lot of places have walk-in appointments. [SEP] And again, we're just encouraging everyone to share the message about the importance of vaccination.

continue

2,073

Iraq's regime agreed. [SEP] It broke this promise.

continue

2,074

There is still much more that needs to be done. [SEP] And that's why the President is focused on passing the American Jobs Act, for example, the need to work with Congress to do more to help the economy create jobs and grow faster.

continue

2,075

And we are looking at long-term jail sentences for these vandals and these hoodlums and these anarchists and agitators, and call them whatever you want. [SEP] Some people don't like that language, but that's what they are.

continue

2,076

And we've got strong support in the United Nations with resolutions that people wouldn't even believe possible 2 or 3 years ago all because of the naked aggression of Saddam Hussein. [SEP] So, the world is united.

continue

2,077

You've got the floods that have caused so much instability. [SEP] You've got reports that the military may try to install a new President.

continue

2,078

This will not happen on my watch. [SEP] I want to share with you some of the lessons of September the 11th.
