we have seen that in semiconductors which are used in automobiles. that global shortage has slowed vehicle production creating a temporary spike in car prices. that is a real challenge. my administration is doing everything we can to address it, but again these disruptions are temporary. lumber prices are another example. they spiked early in our recovery. but in recent weeks they began to fall and have fallen more than 50%. hospitality industry, prices are returning to where they used to be. economists call all these things transitory effects and they account for about 60% of the price increases we have seen the last few months. i want to be clear, my administration understands if we were to ever experience unchecked inflation over the long-term, that would pose a real challenge to our economy. so while we are confident that is not what we are seeing today we remain vigilant about any response needed. as i made clear to chairman powell and the federal reserve when we met recently, the fed is independent. to take whatever steps it needs to support a

the russian people used a lot of attempts to disintegrate us. you remember in the middle ages how poland want to be -- wanted to break away from other countries around it. then austria-hungary. is countries wanted to do the same. just keep that in mind. so there were three groups. external factors came into play, and the bolsheviks dealt some of the blows. we started to be considered as separate nations, separate peoples. i don't think we can go into many details, but i will write an article about that. i will surely do that. i will write up a comfort hence of, meaningful article that i hope will be published in russia and the ukraine. i will just say what i think, what is on my mind. >> some people don't know history that will. pres. putin: people have little interest about history, they live in their own small bubbles. i don't think the ukrainian people are in any way unfriendly. no, we are one single entity. now the leadership of ukraine, that is an altogether different matter. the leadership of ukraine is not friendly towards russia. no doub

but it is going to take all of us. one of the most troubling developments of the past few months has been the biden/harrison administration wholehearted embrace of the radical left's all-encompassing assault on american culture. under the biden administration, patriotic education has been replaced by indoctrination. they abolished our 1776 commission and authorized teaching critical race theory in our schools. instead of teaching all of our children to be proud of their country, critical race theory teaches children as young as kindergarten to be ashamed of their skin color. critical race theory is state sanctioned racism and it should be opposed by every american everyday. it's time to discard the left-wing recess. senator tim scott said it best on the national stage. after traveling at their vice president to virtually every state in the union, meeting americans from every walk of life, america is not a racist country. america is the most just, noble and inclusive nation ever to exist on the face of the year -- the e

you can see the numbers you can use to call us or send us a text message or mms message. if you want to talk to the president directly, you can use the mobile app. there's going to be a video call. maybe you will be the want to get an answer from the president. -- the want to get an answer from the president. -- the one to get an answer from the president. our operators are working very hard. we have already 2 million questions, and they keep coming. people prefer phone calls, and of course messages, but many people are also using the mobile app. it was downloaded over 650 times. -- 650,000 times. some questions have already been addressed. as you know, vladimir putin usually can answer from 70 to 80 questions, so what happens to the other questions? pres. putin: that is exactly what i would like to start with today. so, in 2019, when we had one of the direct lines, it was a full-blown event like this one. we received one million inquiries and questions. when we combined the direct line event with the conference of the year, we had, well, more millions of questions. here'

i think you have seen us use and that use a number of avenues -- i think you've seen us use a number of avenues. we put out a website where people could go if they had not paid taxes because they did not make enough money to pay taxes. we also worked with local communities to get the word out and make sure people know that they are eligible. i think that starting today, the vast majority of people who are eligible will get their checks through direct deposit and direct checks. we are talking about a small percentage of individuals who would be looking to find it. we will be vigilant about finding them. >> will the president expect -- except a spending bill -- will the president except a spending bill --accept a spending bill? >> we will certainly leave it to schumer and democrats on the hill to put out all of the specific details, but the president understands that there could be changes to his original proposal and even from here as the final negotiations continue. i'm not going to negotiate from here, but we will look to see what the final package looks like. the president has advo

they can't fool us. they want americans to believe that the conservative movement is fractured, that we are divided. they want america to believe that this movement is dead. but we are alive and kicking! [applause] and news flash all those haters social communists out there, marxist to fill it -- fill it all in, we are here to save america! and it is the group of patriots here today and the millions across the incredible brave country who are not going to be silenced, and we definitely are not going to seed this fight to the socialists who want to set our nation afire and see it burn. we will stand in this movement along with the brave individuals here in cpac, the brave men and women across this country and with brave leaders and fighters like president trump. he will never give up on this movement that he created across the country of the forgotten men and women, forgotten no more. no president has stood more for the conservative values in america-first policies that we cherish, that our children deser

how often was that used? guest: we used a much more regular budget process when i was in congress. most of the times, we would do all 10 or 11 of the spending bills separately. they would pass, be signed, vetoed, negotiated back and forth between the house and senate. then for a while, both sides threw up their hands when they had these big bills. now they try to put it into reconciliation, which is code word for 50 votes rather than 60 votes. there are rules limiting what you can do in that bill, but they are putting all sorts of spending through it. we never used to do that. we put the spending separately. reconciliation was for things like social security, medicare, taxes. host: david mcintosh with the club for growth with us until 8:40 a.m. eastern so go ahead and call with your questions or comments. we begin our program today talking about the enhanced child tax credit checks that started hitting bank accounts yesterday. part of that $1.9 trillion american rescue plan passed in march. were you in support of expanding the child tax cut it -- tax credit program? guest: no. affe

i think it is very useful for him. >> margaret? >> i agree with john, i don't think the case is going to go a wear, but i don't think it is about the legal issues, necessarily. i think this is part of the broader republican message we are born here, which is these -- we are going to hear, which is these big tech companies are biased against conservatives. i think republicans see that is motivating to their base. even if the case does not go anywhere, it may still accomplish the former president's goals. >> do conservatives have a case that there has been some bias? >> i don't think there has been a solid evidence that shows these companies are biased against conservatives. i think the companies are trying to moderate content, hate speech, inciting violence. and where they draw the line is something i think both people -- people on both sides tend to question. >> i agree with what margaret just said. there have not been strong evidence that these companies are systematically biased against the republican party. the party sees this a

and when we can provide more details about which ones we'll use we certainly will. this is a priority for the administration. not only do we in the department of defense have a responsibility to these brave men and women and their families, so, too, do we have a responsibility to support the state department as it carries out the president's directive. and of course, even though our mission in afghanistan is not over, i would be remiss if i didn't take the opportunity to honor the american and allied troops that served bravely over the last two decades of war. and those who gave their lives there. we owe them and their families a debt that we can never repay. we know these are difficult times for them, and we will never forget all that they gave for their country. . where we are in afghanistan, let me pass it over to the chairman. governor o'malley: i appreciate your comments and your leadership. and good afternoon to everyone. i want to extend and thank you to all of you because freedom of speech is alive and well and freedom of press. last week, i traveled to norf

a fight people want us to take on. so many people have said "please sir, do something about big tech. sue them, sir." they have been saying it to me for a long time. but there has never been a better time to do it. polling released by scott rasputin shows nearly two thirds of americans believe big tech companies should be required to abide by the first amendment guarantee of free speech. and i think those numbers are very low. 68 percent of americans believe social media companies should prioritize their fair treatment of every citizen over protecting themselves. they want people protected. they want people to have their voice. an overwhelming majority believe tech giants have become too powerful. they have crossed the line many times, and by far, too much. the american people's birthright of freedom must prevail against big tech and other forces that seek to destroy it. through this lawsuit, we are standing up for american democracy by standing up for free speech rights of every american, democrat, republican, indepen

they don't need us. all of these big bills dealing with international affairs, transportation, they have not negotiated one bit. we were not involved in any of the formation of it. i would suggest to you that it will begin with the majority. the minority is waiting. host: a couple of nominees on the senate side, article -- democrats are calling out senator ted cruz. senator murphy said this about it -- ted cruz is making it very hard on the president. he is holding up every single state department nominee right now. the republican strategy is to try to make it as hard as possible for president biden to manage crises around the world. guest: that is a bogus argument. ted cruz has a philosophical problem. you have people who will be heading up these organizations. one was involved in environmental terrorism thing. you have to dig deeper into who these people are. you have a lot of problems in the state department. that is one of the areas that should've been cleaned up before. they are what is running this

it is a tool that we use to push out our own story -- stories. it has completely transformed the media landscape. i mostly work for traditional newspapers. so much of our thinking has shifted digitally to rather than planning for the paper for the next day, it is thinking about how quickly we can get the news online. social media plays a big role in that. it intensifies the competition. more journalists have the power to get information out quickly via facebook and twitter. peter: you agree with what you have heard from john and margaret regarding section 230 and potential legislation? cat: i do not see there being meaningful action on section 230 in the coming months because the motivations for changing the law are so different among the parties. we have not seen alignment within the democratic already or -- democratic or republican party on how the law should change. it speaks to the broader debate about power and responsibility. whether we are talking about section 230 or anti-stressed -- antitrust. there is a greater issue after the filing of

europe was really going after us. frankly, the europeans have not been innovators, they cannot compete. we are trying to break out of it, especially in the netherlands, and president macron in france have pushed innovation. but taxing american companies is not the solution. if there is a tax on companies that is reasonable around the world, it allocates money, i think they could deliver an approach that affects companies around the world equally. i understand the frustration of companies shifting with tax policy, but we see the same thing with americans. we have to be sensitive to that. companies are moving around for various policy reasons, whether taxation or right to work. that is the reality. >> one of the debates picking up steam is antitrust. you recently tweeted the package of antitrust bills passed to the house judiciary would be a disaster for american innovators and consumers. we have heard since a judge dismissed the ftc lawsuits against facebook, this underscores the need to modernize competition and polic
