Joe Biden

The fact of the matter is that what I really said was that this is not even your father`s Republican Party. These folks don`t want to talk. These folks don`t want to enter into a compromise. These folks don`t want to come up with practical…

The president has done a remarkable job given the fact that -- you and I have a mutual friend, Pat Moynihan when Pat Moynihan, when you were running his show and I was his colleague, a majority in the senate used to mean 51 votes. Since…

Let me be clear. Boosters are important but the most important thing we need to do is get more people vaccinated.

And our Republican friends, I find them kind of fascinating. They keep lecturing us about the debt they created, and now they`re talking about wanting to extend a tax cut that costs $700 billion for the very wealthiest among us without…

I`m more an optimist. I think things are going to go well. I think we`re going get it done.

Democratic Senators Manchin and Sinema back at the White House, as Joe Biden tries to figure out, what would it take to get them to yes on the spending packages?

I think the biggest impact that we`re going to have in getting out of this pandemic is those first shots. We can`t booster our way out of the pandemic.

Boosters are important. But the most important thing we need to do is get more people vaccinated.

For an optimist, I think things are going to go well. I’ve meeting tonight, tomorrow. And for the next little bit.

Victory is what’s at stake. Well, it may not be by the end of the week. We got three things to do, the debt ceiling, the continuing resolution, and the two pieces of legislation. If we do that, the country is going to be in great shape.

Equal boosters are important, but the most important thing we need to do is get more people vaccinated.

I think things are going to go well. People are going to get it done.

Victory is what is at stake. Well, it may not be by the end of the week. I hope it`s by the end of the week.

In this week, as planned, we took a key step in protecting the vaccinated with booster shots, which our top government doctors believe provides the highest level of protection available to date.

It`s hard to acknowledge I`m over 65, but I`ll be getting my booster shot.

It`s going to take some time here. We`re at this stalemate at the moment. And we`re going to have to get these two pieces of legislation passed. Both need to be passed. And they`ll have a profound impact.

We took a key step in protecting the vaccinated with booster shots.

I make no apologies for my proposals, how I`m proceeding. It`s going to go up and it`s going to go down. It`s going to go up.

This is totally unacceptable.

Remember, I said it`s going to take me a year to deliver everything I`m looking at here. That`s number one.

I`m confident that at the end of the day, we`re going to be able to get that done.

Of course I take responsibility. I`m President. But it was horrible what -- to see, as you saw -- to see people treated like they did, horses nearly running them over and people being strapped. It`s outrageous.

Now, it -- we`re at this stalemate at the moment, and we`re going to have to get these two pieces of legislation passed. Both need to be passed. I think by the end of the year, we`re going to be in a very different place.

It`s terribly important that, in two separate appearances, the president and the vice president acknowledged that what occurred at the border was inhumane, reprehensible, and hearkened back to some of the worst history that we have had…

I promise you, those people will pay.
