Joe Biden

Mitch has been nothing but no for a long time.

That's a private matter.

Amtrak has the potential to transform transportation in this country, and we need to invest in it.

How could I be the President of the United States of America and not speak out against the violation of the human rights? I pointed out to him that that's why we're going to raise our concerns about cases like Alexei Navalny and I raised…

I think the President has talked talks about different things more than anything else, ending the pandemic, which is the key to everything else, economic recovery, racial justice, and the climate.

This is not a Kumbaya moment as we used to say back in the 60s in the United States, like let’s hug and love each other. But it’s clearly not in anybody’s interest, your countries or mine for us to be in a situation where we’re in a new…

Look, this is not about trust. This is about self-interest and verification of self-interest. That’s what it’s about.

I also told him that no President of the United States could keep faith with the American people if they did not speak out to defend our democratic values.

By making Juneteenth a federal holiday, all Americans can feel the power of this day and learn from our history. Great nations don’t ignore their most painful moments. Great nations don’t ignore their most painful moments. They don’t…

I made it clear that we will not tolerate attempts to violate our democratic sovereignty or destabilize our democratic elections. And we would respond.

What is going to happen next, we`re going to be able to look back, look ahead, in three to six months, and say, did the things we agreed to sit down and try to work out, did it work?

I pointed out to him that we have significant cyber capability and he knows it. He doesn`t exactly what it is but it is significant. And if, in fact, they violate these basic norms, we will respond. Cyber. He knows.

This is about practical, straightforward, no nonsense decisions that we have to make or not make.

I did what I came to do.

This is a day of profound, in my view, profound weight and profound power.

This is a big (EXPLETIVE DELETED) deal.

Every generation has to reestablish the basis of this fight for democracy. I mean for real. I`ve never seen including during since the Civil War, such an outward assault.

This is about how we move from here. This is about practical, straightforward, no nonsense decisions that we have to make or not make. We`ll find out within the next six months to a year whether or not we actually have a strategic dialogue…

Whether I stopped it from happening again -- he knows I will take action, like we did when -- this last time out. We, in fact, made it clear that we were not going to continue to allow this to go on.

It`s ridiculous. It`s ridiculous.

I made it clear to him that I believe the consequences of that would be devastating for Russia.

Certain critical infrastructure should be off limits to attack, period, by cyber any other means. I gave them a list. If I’m not mistaken, I don’t have it in front of me, 16 specific entities, 16 defined as critical infrastructure under…

I told President Putin my agenda is not against Russia, or anyone else. It’s for the American people. It’s not about just going after Russia when they violate human rights. It’s about who we are. We need to have some basic rules of the…

For you, no purgatory, straight to heaven.

The last thing that Vladimir Putin wants is a new Cold War.
