EXCERPT:

DEESE: "I think the objective, as is always the case for the President, is to, number one, meet the American people where they are, that the recognition, as I mentioned, that the anxiety and the ongoing challenges that families feel in their lives are the reality of a very challenging period with the pandemic and a war in Europe that has driven -- drove gas prices up and food prices up and created a lot of uncertainty. So first and foremost to me, to meet the American people where they are."
