sec. jean-pierre: good afternoon , everybody. happy monday. today president biden released a statement welcoming finland as nato's ally. this is a historic day for the nato alliance and it comes on the anniversary of nato's funding. -- founding. the president has been actively engaged throughout this process. the senate acted in record time to advance the ratification process. it took less than one year. it is the fastest ratification process in nato's history. we look forward to welcoming sweden as a nato member as soon as possible. both finland and sweden are strong democracies with highly capable militaries who share our value and vision for the world. as the president said when putin launched his war of aggression against ukraine, he thought he could divide europe and nato. he was wrong. today, we are more unified than ever. we will defend every inch of nato territory and meet any challenges we face. to support ukraine, the administration is announcing two critical new packages of assi

sec.ean-pierre: as we know and you heard me speak to it, what we saw in nashville, that horrific event of three kids and three adults being murdered at school was heart wrenching and infuriating. our hearts go out to their families. we understand it will take time to even move forward from such a tragic loss. 7000 students peacefully marched to the capital to confront their lawmakers for their failure to keep them safe at school. what did the republican legislators do? they are trying to expel these three democratic legislators who joined in the protest. what we are seeing from florida to tennessee are republican officials who are doubling down on dangerous bills. by doing what they are doing with these three democratic legislators, they are ensuring their state of another tragic school shooting while our kids continue to pay the price. the president has been clear. too many lives are being ripped apart. it is an epidemic in our country and it is why he has taken the actions he has in his

>> if i understand your question, yes. >> why is the sec taking a winner and a loser model? >> we are trying to address systemic risk existing capital markets right now and in times of stress the bond fund community has been called upon the federal reserve for assistance so it is a matter with the public safety net. i know what when my dad was in trouble with his small business he wouldn't have the government help him we are trying to lower the risk. >> i want to get into the details so this is not a new idea and over 20 years ago when i still have brown hair and then working for senator grassley he recognized this and talk to your predecessor how dangerous this could be. in 2004 he said it would be the end of same day execution of trades for many retirement plan investors. mr. chair it's my understanding the swing prices currently as an option for funds used today isn't it true that no funds have utilize swing pricing since the sec authorization in 2016? >> have to get back to you. >> the answer is no. >> if none were found were the one with the sec mandate? >> we do someth

sec.ean-pierre: all right. let's get going. >> that kentucky shooting in your statement at the briefing, you're critical of republicans, but you didn't mention anything that the president wants to do it doing himself about this. is he at the end of his ability to do anything when it comes to gun violence in the u.s.? is he effectively at this point powerless? sec. jean-pierre: zeke, as you know, and as i've talked about, the president has talked about many times the president in his , first two years of the administration has done more historic, has done more executive action than any other president. when it comes to gun violence, when it comes to stemming gun violence, when it comes to protecting our communities, our schools. so he's taken action, he's taken action over and over again. just last month he was in the west on the west coast announcing another executive action. and we are seeing from these executive actions that he signed , more than a dozen that the , department of justice

sec. yellen: let me begin by outlining a few of our key priorities this week than i will turn to your questions. first, i am looking forward to working with my counterparts on the global macroeconomy. during the g20 in february, i said the global economy wa in a better place than many pretty good last fall. that basic picture has remained largely unchanged. prices of commodities like food and energy have stabilized. supply chain pressures continue to ease and mobile growth projections remain higher than in the fal this progress is due in the part to the steps we have taken including macro economic policies within our own borders and joint actions like the black sea green initiative that help lower food costs. the price cap is helping stabilize global energy markets while reducing russia's primary source of revenue. in the united states, our labor market remains strong. our unployment rate is low. inflation remains too high although we have seen lines that patient is moderating. -- inflatio

sec. vilsack: mr. chairman what we are attempting to do in the dietary guidelines is to pass a series of questions about the nutritional value of foods being submitted to folks. ultra processed obviously involves ready to eat kind of foods that have been prepared that can be put in a microwave, that can be put in a pot of boiling water to be able to produce more quickly the food and put it on the table. the challenge is to figure out whether or not, as you are producing the food for your families, whether or not you are fully aware of the nutritional value of that compared to other options and choices you might have. that is why we ask the question in the dietary guidelines to give us information. we are all in a learning process on this. >> also, i -- a word i think everybody feels like they understand what it is, but within the dietary guidelines, what does healthy mean? sec. vilsack: the reality is we now know and we are learning more each and every day about precision nutrition. there
