HONESTLY, AT THIS POINT HOW DO WE NOT HAVE VACCINE PRIME? [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
WELL, EARLIER THIS WEEK, FORMER PRESIDENT OBAMA VISITED THE WHITE HOUSE.
DID YOU SEE THAT AND EVERYONE WENT NUTS FOR HIM AND, UH -- ALMOST TOO CRAZY,
YEAH THEY WERE -- JUST WOULDN'T STOP CLAPPING
[ LAUGHTER ] AND BIDEN WAS LIKE, "OKAY, WE'RE GOOD."

I THINK IT'S EVEN RUBBING OFF ON PRESIDENT BIDEN LISTEN TO THE SPEECH THAT BIDEN
GAVE TODAY LISTEN
THERE'S TOO MUCH, UH, MALARKEY IN WASHINGTON. [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
I'M STILL COMMITTED TO PASSING MY BUILD -- BACK BETTER -- PLAN
