Mr. President, are Americans on the new variants are you concerned about our variants, sir?
You already gotten my release. I've decided that we're going to be cautious. Make sure there is no travel from South Africans, six other countries in that region except for American citizens who are able to come back, but we don't know a lot about the variant except that it is a great concern and seems to spread rapidly and we're, I spent about a half hour this morning with my covert team led by Dr. Fauci and so that was the decision we made. So why not dropping market drops significantly today? What's your response to that? Expected? They always do when there's something rises? It doesn't worry at all? Not at all. Why? Why not?
Why not an immediate demand? It's going into effect on Monday. But why not do it now? Like other countries have
done? Well, because that was recommendation coming from my medical team.
What do you say good questions about whether bands create an incentive for companies not coming forward with new barriers. If you're penalized
that's that's ridiculous. Because you can't hide the variance. It's not like someone could hide the fact that there's a new variant. People getting sick more quickly. To be more careful now going into the holiday season. You've been telling. I have here's the deal. Every American not been vaccinated, should be responsible, be vaccinated from age five years and number one, number two, everyone eligible for the booster shot should get the booster shot immediately upon being eligible. That is a minimum that everyone should be doing. And I you know, we always talk about whether this is about freedom. I think it's a patriotic responsibility to do that.
Focus on inflation, sir. Especially with the new appointments. I have talked to the Fed about a whole range
of things from monetary policy to inflation. And, and I have confidence that the appointees that I've made and I'm going to have three more are going to reflect that that concern situation in the Ukraine and the talk of a possible I am concerned look we support Ukraine's territorial integrity. We support Ukraine's ability to govern itself. And we object to any anything remotely approaching. Have you talked to Lenski or Putin? Are you going to, in all probability?
Thank you, Mr. President. Do you think of any new mandates since your others were caught in court? Thank you. Thank you, sir.
