continue
2,690
I also want to thank, by the way, governors and representatives of our various states - in some cases, some more than others - because they've really been working very hard in areas where we've seen indication of the virus. [SEP] But I want to thank the governors and all of the representatives from all of our states.

continue
2,698

continue
2,699

[SEP] I think if you looked at the schedule going forward, you'll see that the Vice President and Vice President Xi will be spending many hours together in both formal and informal settings over the next few days.
continue
2,700
That is a laughable statement. [SEP] I think it follows a disturbing pattern where Iraq looks at the combined actions of the world as spoken and expressed and approved by the United Nations, and condemns them.
continue
2,701
You put all that together, and what you have is an Iraqi government that is also very actively engaged in trying to build the capability. [SEP] So there are a lot of things going on here.

continue
2,715

continue
2,716
He's then going to talk about the importance of continuing to be very earnest and keeping spending under control, keeping the deficits under control, encouraging Congress to pass the reconciliation spending bill which will reduce mandatory spending growth, or entitlement spending growth by about $40 billion. [SEP] The President is going to encourage Congress to get that done.

So, I mean, it is a real problem, but the point is that has to do with supply chain as well, but it also has to do with the fact that not everybody is looking for a used automobile.

He will continue to travel across the Middle East and Europe, where he will be able to connect the effort we've done with European allies and other international partners with the coalition that we're putting together in the region. [SEP] And then by the time of the United Nations General Assembly, I think it will be clear the variety of commitments that are being made by individual nations, which will run the spectrum -- from kinetic action, to intelligence support, to airlift and logistics, to humanitarian assistance, to training and equipping and resupplying security forces on the ground.
continue
2,732
That's one of the reasons that the President, in the State of the Union in 2006, suggested that we move to cellulosic ethanol, which, as you remember, the famous line of using switchgrass or wood chips.

continue
2,735
Again, our role is to strengthen Ukraine on the battlefield, to try to strengthen Ukraine at the negotiating table by implying these sanctions and costs to Russia. [SEP] But I'm not going to -- to pre-judge or pre-determine an outcome for that conversation.

So I guess what I'm saying is, is that that's an issue that's-it would be very difficult for us as outsiders to try to figure out. [SEP] What we can do is to say, consistent with democracy, you have a Constitution; you should abide by what's in your Constitution.
continue
2,743

2,744
And whether it's crackdowns on free expression in Russia or China or restrictions on freedom of association and assembly in Egypt or prison camps run by the North Korean regime, human rights and fundamental freedoms are still at risk around the world.
