continue
2,481
My belief about the regional powers in the Middle East is that they don't respond well to that kind of bluster. [SEP] They haven't in the past, there's no reason to think they will in the future.
continue
2,482
This dignity cannot be found in a man's possessions; it cannot be found in his power, or in his position. [SEP] It really rests on his right to be treated as a man equal in opportunity to all others.
continue
2,483

They have also conveyed in their guidance -- and they can speak for themselves, of course -- that transmission and infectiousness occurs in the first five days after a diagnosis with COVID-19, somewhere in the range of 85 to 90 percent of the time, hence their guidance on the five days. [SEP] So, they can speak to their own guidance.
continue
2,489
There have been disagreements under this administration and under the previous administration about certain policies and developments in the Middle East. [SEP] But I think on a set of core interests, we continue to have a common view about what we aim to achieve.
continue
2,490
The President, as he always does, sort of reaffirmed our commitment to seeing the Cuban government do a better job of not just respecting, but actually proactively protecting the basic human rights of the Cuban people. [SEP] And we continue to believe that deeper engagement and deeper people-to-people ties, deeper economic engagement between the United States and Cuba will have the effect of moving the government and the nation in a positive direction.
continue
2,491
We have seen videos and reports of armed officials going door to door, intimidating voters and stopping Ukrainians on the street and forcing them to vote. [SEP] These so-called referenda have been an exercise in coercion and disinformation executed by puppet authorit- -- authorities following orders from Russia.
continue
2,492
And we have seen this since I came into office. [SEP] Since my inauguration, the amount of wind power has tripled, the amount of solar power has gone up by 20 times.

continue
2,494

continue
2,504
High technology is not going to stop it. [SEP] The only thing that stops it is a wall.
continue
2,505
What we know is that the number of people who die from gun related incidents around this country dwarfs any deaths that happen through terrorism.

continue
2,506
We want to sit down and have a very broad conversation with them about what types of strategies and capabilities can meet those objectives. [SEP] And again, I think what we've seen since the transition of power in Saudi Arabia certainly is the fact that Mohammed bin Nayef and Mohammed bin Salman have been key figures in setting that security policy for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and key interlocutors for us.
continue
2,507
A President must solve problems, must confront problems, not pass them on to future Presidents or future generations. [SEP] We have a problem in Social Security, and that is, when baby boomers like me retire, younger workers are going to have trouble paying for us and, therefore, have money available when they retire.
continue
2,508
She's a brilliant woman and she understands exactly where everything is. [SEP] She knows before most people.
continue
2,509

continue
2,510

[SEP] And providing a photo opportunity today was part of that commitment -- fulfilling that commitment.
continue
2,515

continue
2,516
We will enact trade deals that result in more products proudly stamped with that beautiful phrase, Made in the USA. [SEP] We will achieve new breakthroughs in science and medicine, finding new cures for childhood cancer and ending the AIDS epidemic in America in less than 10 years.
continue
2,517
They do it not as a defensive mechanism but they do it because they feel very strongly about that. [SEP] I hope that they will look at the changes that NATO has taken and say: Well, if NATO had been a threat to us, it no longer is a threat to us.

2,518
I said, It is a decisionmaking job. [SEP] I make a lot of decisions.

He is talking about a reconciliation conference this month. [SEP] There has been also a great deal of work on the Iraqi economy.
continue
2,521
And I'll say that because, if we focus on the true mission and the people - the grandmothers, the grandfathers; the next generation coming out through us; the kids that are truant and now they're working; the single mothers who now have a job - to restore dignity and hope in their family and in the community, that's why I'm here. [SEP] And I believe that's why you're here.
continue
2,522
Okay. [SEP] So right now we continue to have the challenge of COVID.
continue
2,523
Please pray for them and help the people in Cuba. [SEP] Five pastors, the invite for this event in Cuba are not here because the government in Cuba no permission for today here.
continue
2,524
This is a crisis. [SEP] It is a crisis that the Republicans in Congress are refusing to address.
continue
2,525
This is a time to make sure all our resources available are focused where they need to be, and that is on the people who have been displaced or the people who have been otherwise affected by this natural disaster. [SEP] And that's exactly what we're doing.
continue
2,526
He is not fit to be Commander in Chief. [SEP] And he's certainly not fit to lead the world's greatest democracy.
continue
2,527
And the President certainly is. [SEP] What we have seen from the Assad regime and the Russians is a concerted campaign to strike civilian targets to bomb civilians into submission.
continue
2,528
It's not conducive to capital investment. [SEP] Marching to war is a negative thought, and if you're in the business world and you're trying to hire people or you're looking for work, it's not a conducive time to do so.
continue
2,529
But we don't have data that matches that, based on the experience. [SEP] And then, finally, the situation about ventilators.
continue
2,530

continue
2,531

continue
2,532
On your foreign aid, it's the same answer I just gave, which is, yes, it's a fairly part of the discretionary budget, but it's still consistent with what the President said. [SEP] When you see these reductions, you'll be able to tie it back to a speech the President gave or something the President has said previously.
continue
2,533
We call on all countries around the world to join us by cutting off all trade and financial ties with North Korea in order to achieve a denuclearized Korean Peninsula. [SEP] As President Trump stated in his speech to the U.N. General Assembly, it is time for all nations to work together to isolate the Kim regime until it seizes its hostile behavior.
continue
2,534
I'm going to do away with the tax break that the President gave people who send jobs abroad, to make sure that if you in fact, have a contract, if you with taxpayers my money, you must use American products, you must buy American products, and you must not be in a position where you're exporting. [SEP] We have 25 -- we have over 50% more people moving jobs overseas as a consequence of these contracts, so it's all backwards.
continue
2,535

continue
2,536
President Trump withdrew the United States from the disastrous Iran nuclear deal. [SEP] He slapped sanctions on that leading state sponsor of terrorism.
continue
2,537

continue
2,538
And not a lot of jobs there either, I want to tell you. [SEP] Not a lot of working jobs.
continue
2,539

continue
2,540
U.S. leadership has been sorely missed over the past - past years. [SEP] And I have to say, as - as we're preparing the - the joint rollout and communiqu from this one, it's nice when the Americans are not pulling out all references to climate change and, instead, adding them in.
continue
2,541
Workers who have paid into Social Security with every paycheck must receive the guaranteed benefit they were promised. [SEP] It is the knowledge of that guaranteed benefit that allows more people in our society to pursue the entrepreneurial dreams that fuel so much of our economy.
continue
2,542
It was because of our intense skepticism and doubts about Russia's credibility that we insisted the Russians live up to their commitments before the United States would follow through on the actions we know the Russians are seeking, and that was military cooperation. [SEP] So the United States has not had to make any concessions in order to pursue peace.
continue
2,543
The United States is founded on the principle that our rights do not come from government; they come from God. [SEP] This immortal truth is proclaimed in our Declaration of Independence and enshrined in the First Amendment to our Constitution's Bill of Rights.
continue
2,544
It's promises made and promises kept. [SEP] I mean, think about it.
continue
2,545

continue
2,546
I said, I never want to hear that again. [SEP] And I never want another President of the United States to hear that again.

2,547
But this is a coalition effort here. [SEP] We are not in the lead anymore, as the President made clear in his initial statement and again when he spoke to the people on Monday night.
continue
2,548
Well, on the first question, the President is -- remains firmly committed to raising the minimum wage to $15. [SEP] That's why he put it in his first legislative proposal, and he doesn't -- he believes that any American who is working a full-time job trying to make ends meet should not be at the poverty level.
continue
2,549
The AmCham EU Group did a study that said it could lift Germany's GDP by 0.6 percent if T-TIP was adopted. [SEP] We have our work to do to talk about the benefits, and I want to home in on two particular benefits.
continue
2,550
But none of that. [SEP] None.
continue
2,551
And the way to do that is to bring the interest rates down. [SEP] And the way to do that is to get the Federal deficit down.
continue
2,552
And it's not just Africans who benefit from this. [SEP] The whole world benefits.
continue
2,553
No, the plan I have is my manifesto for black America and to span, particularly the portion of it that relates to how in fact we're going to deal with the prison system. [SEP] If you are in prison, if you are convicted of a crime, no one should be going to jail for drug crime.
continue
2,554
The first was commercializing research. [SEP] Italy does a tremendous amount of high-quality research in nanotechnology and biotechnology and in other fields, but unfortunately, a relatively small amount of that research ever becomes commercialized.
continue
2,555
I don't want to say, No ammunition, but that gets a lot closer. [SEP] I said, I never want to hear that again.
continue
2,556
Tonight, I'm announcing a crackdownon these companies overcharging American businesses and consumers. [SEP] And as Wall Street firms take over more nursing homes, quality in those homes has gone down and costs have gone up.
continue
2,557
Most small businesses are Sub-chapter S corporations or limited partnerships. [SEP] And they pay tax at the individual income-tax level, which means you're running up the taxes on the job creators.
continue
2,558
And the media said Donald Trump is exaggerating. [SEP] He knows that they're not getting a Rolls-Royce, I'm sorry.
continue
2,559
The Senators' letter follows numerousreports of essential workers in meatpacking plants, processing facilities, farms, grocery stores, and markets falling ill from COVID-19. [SEP] Some workers have reportedly felt pressured to go to work even when feeling sick.
continue
2,560
No political document has done more to advance the human condition or propel the engine of progress. [SEP] Yet, as we gather this afternoon, a radical movement is attempting to demolish this treasured and precious inheritance.
continue
2,561
I want to take this opportunity to thank all members of America's Armed Forces in every branch - active duty, National Guard, and reserve - who stepped forward to help battle the invisible enemy - the new virus that came to our shores from a distant land called China. [SEP] We will vanquish the virus.
continue
2,562

continue
2,563
Members of Congress and other Federal employees already have the ability to choose among health care plans. [SEP] If choice is good enough for lawmakers, it is good enough for America's seniors.
continue
2,564
We've got a better plan where we keep investing in wind and solar and clean coal technology and where farmers and scientists are harnessing new biofuels to power our cars and trucks and where we put construction workers back to work refitting homes and factories so they're more energy efficient; where we're developing a hundred-year supply of natural gas; where we cut our oil imports in half by 2020 and create hundreds of thousands of jobs all across this Nation. [SEP] That's the plan that will move us forward.
continue
2,565
Every Administration says they'll do it, but we are actually doing it. [SEP] We will buy American to make sure everything fromthe deck of an aircraft carrier to the steel on highway guardrailsare made in America.
continue
2,566
Social Security and Medicare are the two things I want to talk about. [SEP] You know, they've been around a long time.
continue
2,567
And I'm wondering, has the White House confirmed that local law enforcement knows the identity of this 10-year-old victim? [SEP] And has the President directed the DOJ to do everything it can to prosecute the abuser and protect her?
continue
2,568
That's why through this whole COVID situation, I've always said one state cannot protect itself. [SEP] Either you defend against the virus everywhere, or it's fundamentally not effective.
continue
2,569
The Iraqi people time and again have defied the terrorists and defied those regime elements who want to derail the transition to democracy. [SEP] Every step of the way they have shown that they are committed to a democratic future.
continue
2,570
We know that if shops enforce social distancing as required by our COVID-secure guidelines, then the virus is less likely to spread, and crucially, we know that transmission of the virus is far lower outdoors, so we can confidently allow more interaction outside. [SEP] I understand that people will have questions as how to do as to all of this safely, and we will publish guidance on these changes to help people-
continue
2,571
And President Kwasniewski informed the President of Poland's decision to buy F-16s. [SEP] President Bush welcomed this news.
continue
2,572
But we've taken in billions and billions of dollars in tariffs on steel, and much of it comes in from China, but they can come through the Canadian border, too. [SEP] So we're always watching for that.
continue
2,573
You'll either have flu-like symptoms or no symptoms at all. [SEP] But as we've said so many times at this podium and the American people get it: A healthy American could inadvertently convey the coronavirus to a senior with an underlying health condition and have the kind of heartbreaking results that we've seen in nursing homes around the country.
continue
2,574
We're going to start drilling in ANWR - one of the largest oil reserves in the world - that for 40 years this country was unable to touch. [SEP] That by itself would be a massive bill.
continue
2,575
For a while there were a scarcity of tests, and the fact is we didn't want to be first in line to get tested when so many people who had symptoms and had justification for it. [SEP] What I want is to have many, many more tests so that there isn't a competition for them.
continue
2,576
I want to be very mindful -- I hear your questions about vaccines. [SEP] I want the American people to know that the COVID vaccines remain highly effective to reduce the risk of serious illness, hospitalization, and death.
continue
2,577
And next week, I'll travel to a couple of job sites to talk about how Democrats and Republicans can work together to grow the economy and protect nearly 700, 000 jobs by passing a highway bill by the end of the summer. [SEP] I'm here because of hard-working Americans like Elizabeth and Carolyn.
continue
2,578
The judging has been very unfair. [SEP] And knowingly, we always have a minority and it's not fair.
continue
