Via Teleconference 5:04 P.M. EST MODERATOR:  Hi, everyone.  I hope everybody is having a good evening.  Thanks so much for joining us on our background briefing on Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany’s visit to the White House tomorrow. I just want to run through a couple of ground rules before we get going here.  The call is going to be on background, attributable to a “senior administration official.”  This call is not held under any embargo.  Not for attribution, but for everyone’s awareness — for those on the call, our speaker this evening is [senior administration official]. And we don’t have a ton of…

East Room 11:43 A.M. EST THE PRESIDENT:  Please, all — please be seated.  I have to say at the outset — and I’ve had the great honor — and we have other Medal of Honor recipients here — and that I’ve been able to give one of those medals.  And we have five here. But this, Mr. Secretary, may be the most consequential day since I’ve been President.  This is an incredible man.  I — A hundred and fifty-eight years ago today, in the White — in this White House, President Lincoln was putting the final touches on his second…

     Families deserve to be protected from the fraudsters and scammers who often prey on the most vulnerable among us, draining real money from the pockets of hard-working Americans.  This National Consumer Protection Week, we urge every American to learn about their legal rights as consumers and the resources available to defend those rights.  Consumer protection is critical to building a healthy economy from the bottom up and middle out, and it is a question of basic fairness and justice.      After a few tough years, America is in the midst of a historic economic recovery — growth is up,…

There is a lot of pro-Putin bias in the Western world. We aim to dispel this “macho” propaganda and reveal true colors of his regime: murder, intimidation, industrialized kleptocracy and well-funded russian fascism propaganda machines. We were born in Russia, we have lost friends to this murderer… we see how he “zombifies” most and intimidates and beats down the rest. We also know where his weak spots are and what atrocities his regime is committing on a daily basis. Message from the source channel owner.

I applaud the bipartisan group of senators for proposing rail safety legislation that provides many of the solutions that my administration has been calling for. This legislation provides us with tools to hold companies accountable to prevent terrible tragedies like the Norfolk Southern derailment in East Palestine and to make those communities whole. This legislation strengthens safety requirements for all trains carrying hazardous materials, and phases in newer, safer tank cars over the next two years, not over the next decade. It will increase safety by requiring hotbox detectors every 10 miles to prevent derailments like the one that we saw…
