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

The question is, can our government meet the moment and give us what we need as a country to make this leap forward?

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.

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

This is totally unacceptable.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

people [were] being strapped ... I promise you those people will pay.

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…

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.

I promise you, those people will pay.

We also know from experience that getting those vaccines into people`s arms may be the hardest logistical challenge we`ve faced. Today the United States is also announcing that we`re providing an additional $370 million to support…

If we are going to hit the debt ceiling, that`s a real crisis ahead there financially, and possibly a government shutdown alongside it.

Everyone has got to get on the same page.

The price tag is meaningless without the context of what it does.

Today I’m announcing another historic commitment. The United States is buying another half billion doses of Pfizer to donate to low and middle income countries around the world.

Failure here is not an option.

Pay your fair share, just like middle-class folks do. Trickle-down economics has never worked. And it`s time to grow the economy from the bottom and the middle out.
