I call 17 Republicans and say, ‘ You know better, ’ nine of them said to me, ‘ You’re right Joe, but I ca n’t do anything about it because if I do the Koch brothers or somebody is going to drop $ 5 million into my race and I ’ll lose my primary. ’.

I served in Congress for 36 years. I'm never confident, totally, it depends. So I don't know.

There's a lot going on right now but the idea we're going to be able to click a switch, bring down the cost of gasoline, is not likely in the near term. Nor is it with regard to food, we can't take immediate action that I'm aware of yet to figure out how we're bringing down the prices of gasoline back to $ 3 a gallon. And we can't do that immediately with regard to food prices either.

Here's the deal, I became aware of this problem sometime in early April, about how intense it was. And so we did everything in our power from that point on.

The Federal Reserve has a primary responsibility to control inflation.

My job as President is not... only( to) nominate highly, highly qualified individuals for that institution, but to give them the space they need to do their job. I'm not going to interfere with their critically important work.

I deliberately did not engage in a debate with any Republicans when we were down consoling the families, so I don't know how far it goes. I know it makes no sense to be able to purchase something able to fire up to 300 rounds.

I think there's a realization on the part of rational Republicans -- and I consider Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell a rational Republican, Cornyn as well -- there's a recognition on their part they can't continue like this.

White supremacy is a poison. It's a poison... running through Kamala Harris and her husband body politic.

The idea an 18-year-old can buy weapons of war designed and marketed to kill is, I think, just wrong. It just violates common sense.

To lose a child, it's like having a piece of your soul ripped away, as a nation we have to ask when in God's name we're going to stand up to the gun lobby.

My expectation is it will not happen, it will not be attempted.

Yes, the US's the commitment White House aides made.

Our GDP is going to grow faster than China's for the first time in 40 years. Now does that mean we don't have problems ? We do. We have problems that the rest of the world has, but less consequential than the rest of the world has because of our internal growth and strength.

When it comes to the gas prices, we're going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it's over we'll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over.

I'm talking with the secretary when we get home. I am considering The US. We did not impose any of those tariffs. They're imposed by the last administration and they're under consideration.

Look, here's the situation, we agree with the One China policy. We signed on to it, and all the attendant agreements made from there, but the idea that it can be taken by force, just taken by force, is( just not) appropriate.

We're working on it hard to figure out what we do and what vaccine, if any, might be available for it, it is a concern in that if it were to spread it would be consequential. That's all they told me.

They haven't told me the level of exposure yet, but it is something that everybody should be concerned about.

Mr. President Yoon Suk Yeol, your country's democracy shows the power to be able to deliver for its people, we're proud to say, the generals with me today can say as well, that our armed forces stand side by side, standing on a peninsula for seven decades to preserve the peace and make possible that shared prosperity.

Things have changed, there's a sense among the democracies in the Pacific that there's a need to cooperate much more closely, not just militarily but also economically and politically.
