6:15 pm
and economic support to make their courage and sacrifice have purpose so they can continue this fight and do what they're doing. it's critical this funding gets approved, approved as quickly as possible. you know, long before russia lost to launch his pupil invasion, i made clear how the united states would respond, predicted they would invade, and they surely did. we said we not send us troops to fight russian troops in ukraine, but we would provide robust military assistance and try to unify the western world against russia's aggression. i said i would impose powerful sanctions on russia. now we've destroyed and developed, we destroy this missed and somehow they can continue to move without the rest of the world active that we deploy additional forces to defend nato territory, particularly in east, along the russian and barriers borders at exactly exactly what we said we would do, and we did. but despite the disturbing rhetoric coming out of the kremlin facts are
6:16 pm
playing for everybody to see. we're not attacking russia, we're helping ukraine defend itself against russian aggression. and just as prudent chose to launch his brutal invasion, he could make the choice to end this brutal invasion. russia is the aggressor, no, ifs, ands or buts about it. russia is the aggressor and the world must and will whole russia accountable. russia continue to sold as human, immense human cost. we've seen, we've seen them leave behind, horrifying evidence of their atrocities and more crimes. and the areas they tried to control. as long as the assaults and atrocities continue, we're going to continue to supply military systems that might know parents medically. you know, there's dinner this, we can celebrate, depress, think of what the american press has done. the courage is taken to stay in these wars out. the courage is taken report every single day. i've always
6:17 pm
had respect for the press, but i can tell you how much respect i have, watch it, watching them in the zones where they're under fire, risky their own lives to make sure the world. here's the truth. imagine that we weren't getting that information to be a different world, be a different circumstance. in the past 2 months, russia launches brutal, jackins move, weapons, and equipment to crane it. we move, we've moved, weapons and equipment, and to crane and record speed. thanks the aid we provide, a russian forces have been forced to retreat from key doesn't mean they're not gonna try to come back, but they've retreated thus far. we've sent thousands of anti armor anti missiles, helicopters, drones, grenade launchers, machine guns, rifles, radar systems. more than 50000000 rounds of ammunition. united states alone is provided 10 anti armor systems for every russian tank that is in ukraine. tend to
6:18 pm
want providing ukraine significant timely intelligence to help them defend themselves against russia on slot. and we're facilitating new, significant flow of weapons and systems ukraine from our allies and partners around the world, including tanks, artillery, and other weapons. that support is moving with unprecedented speed, much, much of the new equipment we've been out in the past 2 months, 2 weeks has already gotten new credit where it can be put their direct use on the battlefield. however, we have almost exhausted what we call the fancy phrase to draw down authority that congress authorized ukraine was authorized to create in a bipartisan spending bill last month. basically, we're out of money. and so that's why today, in order to sustain ukraine as a, as it continues to fight, i'm sending congress a supplemental budget request is going to keep weapons and ammunition flowing without interruption to the brave ukrainian fighters and continued delivering
6:19 pm
economic manager and assistance to the people this so called supplemental funding addresses the needs of the ukrainian military during the critical weeks, months ahead. and it begins and begins to transition to long term security services . that's going to help you crane to turn continued to defend against russian aggression. this assistance would provide even more tillery armoured vehicles, anti armored systems, anti air capabilities that have been used so effectively thus far in the battlefield by the ukrainian warriors, you know, and can deliver much needed. you manager assistance as well as food, water, medicine, shelter, and other a to ukraine is displaced by russians war and provide aid for those seeking refuge in other countries. from ukraine is also gonna help schools and hospitals open, which could allow pension and social support to be paid to decrease people. so they have something something in their pocket. so also going to provide critical
6:20 pm
resources to address food shortages around the globe. ukraine. ukraine was one of the world's largest agricultural producers, typically gross 10 percent of all the we've had shipped around the world. who has asserted sanctions are blocking food from ukraine in russia, getting down the market. the sanctions we've been focused on russia simply not true . prisoners war, not sanctions, are impacting the harvest of food and disrupting the movement of that food by land and sea to nations around the globe that needed this fun is going to help ease rising food prices at home as well and abroad, caused by russia's war in ukraine is going to help support american farmers produced more crops like wheat and oil seats, which is good for rural america. good for an american consumer and good for the world. and this supplemental request will use to defense production act,
6:21 pm
to expand domestic production and reserve, and the reserve a critical materials, materials like nickel and lithium. and i've been disrupted by prudence warren ukraine. and that are necessary to make everything from defense systems to automobiles. and i hope congress, i hope congress move in this funding quickly. i believe they will. i want to thank congress, democrats and republicans, fairly support people, ukraine and next week i'll be in alabama to visit lockheed martin, plant to manufacturers, the javelin anti tank missile. we've been sending to ukraine and the thank the american workers, thank them for producing the weapons and help stop rushes advances ukrainian cities like keep their hard work and has played a critical role, ensuring prudent, strategic fail ukraine, and they should know that we know it in addition to this supplemental funding, i'm also sending to congress comprehensive package that will enhance our underlying
6:22 pm
effort to accommodate the russian oligarchy. and make sure we take or take their their, it'll be gotten gauge. we're going to accommodate them. we're going to cesar yachts, luxury homes and other it will be got engaged of prudence cub tucker. yeah. cryptography. club, the guys who are the club tucker, but these are bad guys. this was a packers transfer, the law enforcement capabilities to see the property linked to russians. cryptography is going to create new experts, procedures for forfeiture and seizure of each of these properties. that's going to ensure that when the oligarchy assets are sold off, funds can be used directly to remedy the harm. russia caused in their help and help build ukraine. additionally, yesterday, running to russia, threatened to our allies,
6:23 pm
the cut off of energy supplies. while america has in an all russian fossil fuel porch, because we're able to use our vast support supply power in our country. some european countries have faced more challenges and reducing the reliance on russian fuel. russia has long claimed to be quote, liable source of energy for the world. no matter what the differences are, customers are always going to be in good shape. but these actually prove that energy is not just a commodity. russia sells to help meet other countries needs, but a weapon we need to deploy against goes to stand against or aggression. let me be clear. we will not let russia intimidating or blackmail their way out of the sanctions. we will not allow them to use their oil and gas to avoid consequences for the aggression. we're working with other nations like korea, japan cutter and others to support or effort to help the europe and allies threatened by russia with gas blackmail,
6:24 pm
and their energy needs and other ways. aggression will not when threats will not win. this is just another reminder of the imperative for europe and the world to move more and more of our power needs to clean energy. united states. we're doing that right now. last year we develop more solar, wind and battery storage in any year in our history. and up to power, 56000000 american homes. earlier this month, we acted to bolster our reliance, reliance on our nuclear energy facilities, which generates more than half of our carbon free power. and we're just getting started. i look at this as a serious problem, but also an enormous opportunity, an opportunity. bottom line. all these actions we can take it are about the truth district invest in ukraine's freedom and security. is a small price to pay, to punish russia in aggression, to lessen the risk for future conflicts. you know,
6:25 pm
throughout our history, we learned that when dictators do not pay the price for their aggression and cause more chaos and engage in more rush, they keep moving. in the cost, the threat to america in the world keep rising, we can't let this happen. our unity at home, our unity with our allies and partners, and the unity with ukrainian people who send an unmistakable message to put, you will never succeed in dominating ukraine. finally, we're going to continue to deliver critical support ukraine. we must also not let our guard down in our fight against covert 19 at home and abroad. that's why i'm again urging congress to act. i'm a request for $22500000000.00 in emergency resources. so the american people can continue to protect themselves from co, 19 threes and we were so successful in the past. and because i was able to work
6:26 pm
with drug manufacturers to order significant quantities, material we needed had a time to get in the front of the line without additional funding. we can pre order the amount of axes we need, and we risk losing our spot in line for vaccines and target multiple variance were running out of supply for therapeutics, viral pills that we desperately need without additional funding. we're unable to purchase a life saving treatment for american people. we've donated more vaccines and treatments to the world than all other nations of the world combined. if the u. s. won't do it, no one else is really going to step up and do it. without additional funding, united states won't be able to help stop the spread around the world in close off ongoing support sources and the supply chain disruptions. look, let's get both of these critical task done. no delays, no excuses, just action. now. thank you all. the
6:27 pm
rest of your turn, the gentleman mister president, i want to ask what your messages to crane to be on the southwest border and those that are trying to we claim from the violence we have made a direct means by which they can get from europe, from ukraine directly the united states without going to the southern border in the meantime in the southern border, were trying to work through and make sure they normally process they're able to get it. but just, you know, we have said there's no need to go to the southern border, fly directly to united states. we set up a mechanism whereby they can come directly with the be the power to you by throwing them in russian comment. media officials facing them actually already in the us and russia. very alarm and things like
6:28 pm
that and struggle essentially separate training rather than full reading and others are formative prophecy. will some of those 2 things true and they worries those things. they're not true. they do concern me because it shows the desperation that rushes feeling about their abject failure and being able to do what they set out to do in the 1st instance. and so i think it's more of a reflection not of the truth but of their failure. and so instead of saying that the, the ukrainians, equipped with some capability to resist russian forces, are they doing this, they've got to say, tell their people, the united states and all of nato is engaged in taking out russian troops and tanks, etc. so it's number one, it's an excuse for their failure. but number 2,
6:29 pm
it's also if they really mean it's, it's no, no one should be making idled. comments about use of nuclear weapons or a possibility of the use your response from the back of the or 40 to number of your friends, are pressuring the way out to maintain that a policy. can you use of the 3 end, or whether you want to, whether he that requests or you're going to get a straight answer, we propose to eliminate that policy. by the end of may, the court said we can so far. and what the court says we're going to do, the court could come along and say, we cannot do that. and that's, it was not a proxy war, but reference here. we did the green basically the warming war. so how can somebody
6:30 pm
that they may start to act accordingly, even if you disagree, we are prepared for whatever they do when you have your whole wouldn't guess. first of all, as you know, polos indicated, they have significant reserve gas that they have planned for, as does not as much. but as does poll guerria. and we have worked with our allies from japan on to say that we may divert our shale of the natural gas, the percentage into those countries and diverted directly to, to poland. and so i, you know, it's is most i can tell you right now, sir, i'll give a shot at jackson 11474 for well, i'm, i'm not concerned about recession. i mean, you're always concerned about recession, but the g, d, p, you know, follow 1.4 percent,
6:31 pm
but here's the deal. we're also had last quarter consumer spending and business investment, residential investment increased in significant rates, both for leisure as well as hard product. number one. number 2, we are unemployed is the lowest rates, it's 1970 a record 4500000 businesses were created last year. we're in a situation where the, you know, we have a very different views and sen scott, republicans want to raise taxes on the middle class families and want to include half the small business owners in that way. so i think we're, what you're seeing is enormous growth in the country that was affected by everything from coven in the cover blockages that occurred along the way. now where you always have to be, take a look, you know, what is predicting recession now,
6:32 pm
the predict either some are predicting maybe recession in 2023, concerned about it. but i know one thing that, you know, a far republican friends are really interested in doing something about dealing with economic growth and they should help us continue to lower the deficit, which we've done last year with 3 $150000000000.00. they should be willing to work with us to have a tax code that is actually one that works and everybody pays their fair share. and they should be in a position where you shouldn't be raising taxes. a middle class folks. you should be raising taxes on people who. everyone acknowledges that the vast majority republic is not paying the fair share. i've said a 100 times. you have, you know, 50 major corporations of the fortune. $500.00 companies made $40000000000.00, but i shouldn't pay single penny. no one under our proposal. i mean, you know,
6:33 pm
400000 dollars year we'll see a penny in their taxes. go up. i want pity. i do think coordinating it together and why don't care how they are, how they do it. i'm sending them both up. i mean, they can do it separately together, but we need them for later yesterday that you're getting closer to using executive authority to cancel out the dollar student loan debt. can you confirm that? what exactly are you looking to plan to do? i mean, you mean spokesman said that majority leadership look number 11 of the 1st thing we did was reform the system that was in place that didn't work for anybody that allowed people though, right off, i'll just have english and the american president joe biden speaking in the white house about the next phase in american support for ukraine. friendship of the was
6:34 pm
taking a few of the questions about the economy and education that spring. and kimberly, how can tell white house correspondent, a, it's a large amount of money he's asking for congress to approve, and he thinks he's going to get it. yeah, and all indications are that he will get it because the feeling sentiment in the united states right now is there's enormous support for ukraine, not just in the u. s. congress, but also in terms of the american vote in public. and so if it's popular with americans, it's going to be popular with their representatives. and so that time is right for the u. s. president. to ask for this. and you can see there as the u. s. president was talking, he was kind of reminding the american public that he predicted that vladimir putin would invade ukraine and also that there would be a need to defend ukraine saying in this sort of projecting look at, i've had
6:35 pm
a steady hand throughout this trust me as i now asked for your money. c once more and when the president asked for this mount of money i, it's not going to be a, for the long term. this is only going to last about 5 months as so this is certainly something that if this is a prolonged invasion that continues beyond the 5 months, there will be any to ask for even more money. so you heard the u. s. president off the top, they're saying that this is not cheap, but i came to aggression is not something that can be afforded either. so the u. s . president, very measured in his comments, knowing that this is something that will be weighed in the minds of americans who are trying in, in tough economic times to balance their own budgets at home as well. kimberly, how could that for us? so with that, thanks very much. kimberly, of course we'll continue to depend with you as and when we get more news and
6:36 pm
reaction to that request to congress. thanks very much. not you have nice, chancellor says this country is preparing for a possible situation where russia stops. gas exports are left schultz is in japan. on his 1st trip to asia, russia's invasion of ukraine had the energy crisis dominating those talks of japanese prime minister, familiar casita, politicians in germany, have it in favor of sending heavy weapons to keith or vacant and try to be with us and what decision the russian government will take in this regard. one can only speculate, but it makes little since one has to pay for it. and as i said, we had already started to do this before the war broke out. and we know what we have to do, and that is exactly what we will do. now, police improve, have you take, asked her victim indigenous group which refused to leave one of its biggest copper mines that fled a bumble community. set up camp in the chinese run. last by my mind 2 weeks ago, halting operations on the protest to say the mine is on indigenous territory. the
