White House Chiefs of Staff

We need to keep doing the right things to fight this pandemic.

I think we`re all fed up with the pandemic. We all want it over. But wanting it over doesn`t make it over.

It seems to me now, that same kind of care would look at the nominees and say, who among them have already been confirmed by the United States Senate?

Look, the president`s nominated and confirmed more federal judges in his first one year and two weeks in office than any president in modern times. And virtually every single one of those judges has had some number of Republican votes.

It’s anti-inflationary. You probably should call it the anti-inflationary act, because not only does it bring down the deficit, but it really attacks some of the key elements of inflation.

We’ve made very clear that, again, that we’re going to reinforce our NATO allies. We’re going to protect them and reassure them, that we are prepared to move with very severe sanctions if President Putin crosses that border.

We want to assure our NATO allies in Europe that we are going to meet our commitment to defend them, that they are well-protected from Russian aggression in case that should spread.

But I think it’s an important thing -- to really honor the Constitution’s provision of advice and consent -- to get that advice from Democrats and Republicans, to consult broadly.

If the disruptions continue, if it still feels like what on earth is going on, nothing works as normal and you can`t -- you can`t, you know, buy things at the store and things are expensive, and everything`s still off kilter. They`re…

I do think, though, we have to be part of finding a humanitarian solution to avoid a humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.

What could be more responsive to that than saying, we’re going to limit what people have to pay for their childcare, we’re going to help people pay for eldercare for their seniors, we’re going to bring down the cost of prescription drugs…

I think Senator Manchin has made it clear publicly that he’s interested in putting together the key pieces of Build Back Better.

I think our economic plan has done an excellent job of raising incomes, of getting people employment. When we got here, there are 20 million people on unemployment, that’s down to 1.7 million now.

I think we've had a year of historic accomplishment.

We`re not going to drop this vaccine requirement. We`re going to argue the case before the Supreme Court on the seventh of January and certainly hope the court will agree that the requirement imposed is a lawful requirement.

Look, what is - Mike Pence is a nice guy. But what is Mike Pence offering that 15 other Republicans, in the field, they're not offering?

The decision to bring these charges against Mr. Bannon was made exclusively by the Justice Department. The President had nothing to do with it. We have an independent Justice Department that makes decisions about prosecution and specific…

Senator McConnell was indeed quite helpful in getting this bill passed, because he saw what a number of his Republican colleagues saw, which is this bill wasn`t liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican. It was common sense. It`s…

President Biden did. He brought Democrats and Republicans together. He had over 100 meetings in the Oval Office over the past few months with Democrats and Republicans, to put this bill together and build the support to pass this bill.

There's no vice president I've seen this gotten off to a faster start than Vice President Harris.

President gave no direction to the Justice Department, and taking its action.

I'm not going to speak for him. What I know is he has played a key role in advising us and talking to the President many times about the framework for the Build Back Better Bill.

I think the bill we signed is one step on combating inflation.

We pass this bill not to change polls, but to change the country.
