Speaker 2: (17:09)
Can you talk little bit just about kind of the preparations for getting the White House ready and safe for the President, the new President. It’s been reported that you did a $500,000 worth of deep cleaning. Could you talk about the measures that you took to ensure that the president has safe?
Jen Psaki: (17:24)
Well, I would refer you to the General Services Administration who oversees any steps like that. What I can speak to, if it’s of interest of the steps we’re all taking to make sure that we are safe, he is safe, you’re all safe. Those include daily testing when we’re in the White House. It includes wearing N95 masks. I wore it out of course, here today, and will continue to do that. It includes stringent rules about social distancing and abiding by that in the building that keeps us safe. But we’re also, the President has asked us to also be models to the American people, and that’s vitally important to us as well. So there are a number of new COVID steps, precautions, that we’ve put in place as of today. Go ahead all the way in the back.
Speaker 3: (18:08)
Thank you so much, Jen, thanks for doing this in [inaudible 00:18:10]. So climate change being one of the priorities. How does President Biden plan to work with Brazil? During the campaign, Biden criticized Brazil on deforestation, and then the Brazilian president criticized Biden back. And he was the last one to congratulate President Biden on his election. What is the expectation for their relationship? And does he plan to speak with the Brazilian president?
Jen Psaki: (18:40)
Well, I don’t have anything to predict for you or advance for you in terms of a call or conversation. What I can convey on climate change, of course, and addressing the climate crisis, it’s one of the four crises that he’s identified will impact his administration, is impacting not just the American people, but the global is that rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement is a vital step toward doing that. The United States was one of the only countries in the world, as you all know, that has not had a seat at the table in the last few years. A little technical step there is we have submitted that to the UN Secretary General and it will take approximately 30 days for that to take place.
(19:22)
But I use that as an example because that’s one step but we also know that we need to be models here at home, as we are addressing an issue like this. The United States continues to be one of the world’s largest emitters of greenhouse gases. And we need to put in place policies and take steps here to address that as well. But I’m sure we’ll have more to discuss on Brazil in the coming months. Go ahead right there.
Speaker 4: (19:44)
What are the next steps when it comes to Iran and does the President have any plans to rejoin the nuclear deal?
Jen Psaki: (19:52)
Well, the President has made clear that he believes that through follow on diplomacy, the United States seek to lengthen and strengthen nuclear constraints on Iran and address other issues of concern. Iran must resume compliance with significant nuclear constraints under the deal in order for that to proceed. I will say that as I noted a little bit earlier, we would expect that some of his earlier conversations with foreign counterparts or foreign leaders will be with partners and allies, and that we would certainly anticipate that this would be part of the discussion.
Speaker 4: (20:29)
And then could you just give us some color about what it was like for him going into the Oval Office? He’s been waiting for this for so long? What was his reaction?
Jen Psaki: (20:36)
Well, I spent a little time with him earlier and he had an incredible sense of calm and a sense of some joy. Of course, he spent the day with his family and his grandchildren and his children. And that always has an impact, I think. But, he also said he felt like he was coming home. Remember he spent eight years here as the vice-president playing an important role as a partner to President Obama. And that was the emotion that overtook him today. He’s also eager to get to work. He was asking questions about policy and COVID and what’s next. And so that also reflects his desire to roll up his sleeves and get going. Let’s see, I’m sorry, I told you I was going to ask you, just skipped over you. Go ahead.
Speaker 5: (21:27)
That’s all right, I’ll take it now. So President Biden wants a theme of his presidency to be unifying the country. Does he think that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer should drop a potentially divisive Senate impeachment trial?
Jen Psaki: (21:42)
Well, he spoke today, as you all saw about unity in his inaugural address and the importance of unity and bringing the country together and the resolve of the American people in helping to get through this moment. We are confident though that just like the American people can, the Senate can also multitask and they can do their constitutional duty while continuing to conduct the business of the American people. And his view is that the way to bring the country together is to address the problems we’re facing. And so that means getting this COVID relief package through. Having Democrats and Republicans take a serious look at that and have conversations with each other about how to move it forward. And he’s going to leave the mechanics, the timing and the specifics of how Congress moves forward on impeachment to them.
Speaker 5: (22:39)
And a quick follow-up. On President Trump’s inauguration day, he filed the paperwork to run for reelection same day. Does President Biden have any plans to do that today, late? Or in the coming days?
Jen Psaki: (22:54)
I will say having talked to him today, his focus is not on politics. It is on getting to work and solving the problems of the American people. So, and as he noted on the campaign, he will wait until sometime into his first term to speak more about his political plans moving forward. Go ahead.
Speaker 6: (23:14)Yeah, thank you, Jen. The President pledged today to repair alliances. Has he planned his first spring trip yet?
Jen Psaki: (23:20) Wow, we’re only seven hours in here, you’re ready for the foreign trip?
Speaker 6: (23:25)[inaudible 00:07:25].
Jen Psaki: (23:25)
I’m ready too. I don’t have any details on a foreign trip to layout for you at this point in time. Hopefully we will at some point in time. Go ahead, all the way in the back.
Owen Jensen: (23:34)
Yeah, hi. Congratulations on your new position. Owen Jensen with EWTN, Global Catholic Network. Two big concerns for pro-life Americans, the Hyde Amendment, which of course keeps tax payer dollars as you know for abortions, Medicaid abortions. And the Mexico City policy, which under the previous administration, expanded to keep tax dollars from overseas paying for abortions. So what does President Biden planning on doing on those two items right now?
Owen Jensen: (24:02)What is President Biden planning on doing in those two items right now?
Jen Psaki: (24:04)
Well, I think we’ll have more to say on the Mexico City policy in the coming days, but I will just take the opportunity to remind all of you that he is a devout Catholic and somebody who attends church regularly. He started his day attending church with his family this morning, but I don’t have anything more for you on that. Go ahead.
Speaker 7: (24:25)
Yeah. As president-elect, he talked about the possibilities of using the Defense Production Act to ramp up production of vaccines. Having looked at more data, does he still feel that’s necessary? Was that included, for example, in anything that he signed today?
Jen Psaki: (24:42)
We’ll stay tuned. We’ll do this again tomorrow. And there may be more specifics to share on plans on COVID tomorrow. I expect there will be, including more details on the Defense Production Act. He absolutely remains committed to invoking the Defense Production Act in order to get the supply and the materials needed to get the vaccine out to Americans across the country and remains committed to his goal of getting a 100 million shots in the arms of Americans in the first 100 days. Go ahead.
Speaker 8: (25:12)
Thank you very much. The President talked movingly about unity today. And I’ve heard from people who say, “Well, that’s just talk.” They want to know what action they’re going to see to show that kind of unity. I mean, Peter mentioned impeachment. Can you tell us what kind of action we can expect to see that will assure people that he wants to reach out to people who voted for him and people who did not?
Jen Psaki: (25:39)
Sure. Well, first I think anybody who has covered President Biden for some time, or worked for him, or spent time with him knows that he is somebody who always sees the optimistic side of working with people who may disagree with him, people across the aisle. And that has long been his commitment and desire through his many decades in public service. So, his own history tells you how committed he is, but part of it is his words, which he shared today with the American public on quite a big stage. Also his actions, he has reached out to, not just Democratic members of Congress, but also Republicans. Not just Democratic governors, but also Republicans. Not just Democratic mayors, but also Republicans. And he said today in his speech, the biggest platform most presidents have through the course of their presidency, that he will govern for all Americans. And that of course has to be backed up by actions, as you conveyed, but he’s going to venture to do that in every policy he pursues, every engagement he has, because he feels if we can come together, we’ll be a stronger country. Go ahead.
Speaker 9: (26:51) Jen, will we see a death penalty moratorium under this administration?
Jen Psaki: (26:55)
The president, as you know, has stated his opposition to the death penalty in the past. That remains his view. I don’t have anything more for you in terms of future actions or mechanisms though. I’ll circle back if there’s more I can share with you.
Speaker 9: (27:11) On a lighter note, will he keep Donald Trump’s Air Force One color scheme change?
Jen Psaki: (27:16)
This is such a good question. I have not had the opportunity to dig into that today. Given the number of executive actions, orders, the inauguration, a few things happening. I will venture to get you an answer on that and maybe we can talk about it in here tomorrow.
Zeke: (27:31)
Jen, just one quick one before we let you go. I just followed Amir’s question, does President Biden believe that President Trump needs to be held accountable for the Capitol insurrection a couple of weeks ago? And does that accountability require that President Trump be barred from holding a future federal office?
(27:49)
Well, Zeke, he has spoken very firmly and fiercely publicly about his views on the horrific events on January 6th. And he has also of course spoken with members of Congress about that, as you all know. But he is going to leave it to members of Congress to carry out their constitutional duty and determine what the path forward is and what the mechanisms are going to be, what the process will be, and what the timeline will be. And certainly, he ran against Donald Trump, because he did not think he was fit to serve in office long before the events of January 6th. He is here today because he decided to run against him, but we’re focusing on moving forward. We’re focusing on addressing the issues facing the American public. And as you know, that means we’re focused on our COVID package. Go ahead.
Peter: (28:43)
If I could follow up on that a little bit, Jen, is the President being updated, first of all, in the progress of the FBI investigation? And we know the FBI is leading the investigation into the assault on the Capitol. Does President Biden have confidence in FBI Director Ray?
Jen Psaki: (28:57)
Well, Peter, as you noted, there’s an ongoing investigation, which we certainly support. I’m not sure that he has received an update today on anything about the investigation, but we certainly support those ongoing. And we will I’m sure be receiving updates in the days ahead. Go.
Peter: (29:12) Does he have confidence in the FBI director?
Jen Psaki: (29:14)
I think. I have not spoken with him about specifically FBI Director Ray in recent days, Peter, but I’ll circle back with you if there’s more to convey. Go ahead, Karen.
Karen: (29:25)
Jen, the President did not mention the word Trump in his inaugural address today. What was the intention behind not making any direct reference to his predecessor in that speech?
Jen Psaki: (29:33)
Well, I think the intention was to make the speech not about any individual elected official, any current president, former president, but make it about the American people. And the moment we’re facing in history right now, the struggles that millions of Americans are facing who don’t have jobs, the fear people have about the health of their grandparents, and their cousins, and their brothers. And to make it more about the strength of the American people when they come together and not about any individual, but as you saw in his speech, it was forward-looking. It was not meant to look back on the past.
Speaker 10: (30:12) Yeah, one more.
Jen Psaki: (30:14) Go ahead.
Speaker 10: (30:15)
How does President Biden plan to recover the United States’ image around the world? and what is his priority globally?
Jen Psaki: (30:24)
Well, his priority is first rebuilding our partnerships and alliances around the world and regaining America’s seat at the global table. And you can see that as evidenced in his rejoining the Paris climate agreement, rejoining the World Health Organization, his plans to engage with partners and allies and work together to address many of the threats and issues we’re facing around the world. But I think that is what you will see as his focus in the weeks ahead.
Speaker 11: (30:56) Jen.
Zeke: (30:59) Thank you, Jen.
Jen Psaki: (30:59) Thank you, Zeke.
Zeke: (30:59) Thank you, Jen.
Jen Psaki: (31:00) Thank you, everyone. Let’s do this again tomorrow.
Speaker 7: (31:02) Thank you, Jen.
Speaker 9: (31:02) Thank you, Jen.
