So I would refer you to the State Department. But, look, what we are going to continue to do is we are going to continue to work to secure Paul’s — Paul’s return, Paul’s release. You know, I think you can understand why we won’t go into details.

Remarks by Vice President Harris Before a Roundtable Conversation on Second Chance Month

And so, that’s what we’re going to keep saying, keep calling on. And — and we’ll let the universities handle that process on how they’re — how they’re dealing on the ground. And as President, you know, as Commander-in-Chief, where he sits right now, behind that Resolute Desk, and what he understands, it’s important to speak out. And he understands that, as a leader in this country, that when we see this type of antisemitic hate, this type of antisemitic vile — vile, we have to be very clear.

But, again, we are — in order to increase the chances for our success, we’re not going to discuss more about the negotiations for his release in public. I’m sure you understand why — that we’re not willing to do that. And — and, you know, we’re not going to apologize for that.

Statement from National Economic Advisor Lael Brainard on March PCE Report

And we continue to work aggressively, using every available means to bring home all U.S. nationals wrongfully detained or being held captive here. But, of course — of course, we’re always concerned about the safety — the safety and the health of any American that is being held — wrongfully detained and held hostage. And I’m not going to get into specifics on any, you know, future conversations that we might have with Paul and how that’s going to — our interaction with him is going to look like.

So we are successfully implementing vaccination requirements for the largest workforce in the United States, with federal employees in every part of the nation and around the world. In addition to getting Americans their boosters, vaccination requirements are driving more and more people to get their first shot. In fact, just across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, we got 3 million booster shots into arms — a million booster shots per day. Already, the strong start to our boosters’ program has gotten enhanced protections to 36 million Americans, including nearly half of all eligible seniors, the most vulnerable population. As Jeff and Dr. Walensky have mentioned, the subject matter of this briefing are booster shots.

He’s going to continue to make sure that we secure Paul Whelan’s return, as well, and as well as other Americans who are wrongfully detained abroad. — just across the President’s administration. And we’ve brought home — the President has been able to secure about a dozen wrongfully detained or hostage individuals — Americans — bringing them home.

And I expect, as the President said earlier today, this President will speak with them later or when they are ready to have that conversation, understanding — and the President said this as well — how difficult of a moment this is for the Whelan family. Jean-Pierre’s predecessor, Jen Psaki, was press secretary for one week shy of 16 months before leaving to take a job as a host and analyst at MSNBC. However, the two-dose mRNA vaccinated people who received a booster dose — look — had a substantial increase in neutralizing activity to the tune of a 38-fold increase. Moderna, a couple of weeks ago, was able to accelerate delivery — at a fair price — of doses to the African Union.

We also received a series of commitments from the Israeli government with respect to the facilitation of humanitarian assistance. But as I’ve said before at this podium — and as you’ve heard from Secretary Austin, the Chairman, and other senior military officials — there is no silver bullet in this conflict. One capability is not going to be the ultimate solution.

While the actions of the FDA and CDC represent an important step forward in our vaccination program, we are not losing sight of the goal to vaccinate all who are eligible with their primary vaccine series. Forty-seven million eligible American adults and more than twelve million teens are still not fully vaccinated and remain at highest risk of disease. This latest CDC action underscores that booster shots are an important public health tool to strengthen our defenses against the virus. The safety data showed that serious adverse events after a booster dose are rare and, in general, people had fewer reactions after their third dose than after their second dose. Reactions that did occur included the previously seen sore arms, headaches, and joint aches. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said President Trump "is in a great mood," noting they've had "not just a successful couple of days" but "a successful year."

For months, we’ve been working with governors, pharmacies, community health centers, and other partners to plan for this moment. Another study — now from Brazil, South Africa, and United States with cumulative data of 10,000 participants. And, again, in the two-month interim analysis, the efficacy against symptomatic disease in those who received the third dose versus the second dose was 95.6 percent.

We are still working to secure Paul Whelan. At this time, we were not able to make that happen. That will not stop us in making sure that Paul returns back home safely to his family. Every case — there are different ways that I can talk about them, so I don’t want to get ahead of that.

The briefing will be McEnany’s first since President Donald Trump debated 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in Cleveland, Ohio on Tuesday evening. Jean-Pierre does have important allies within the White House, including first lady Jill Biden’s top adviser Anthony Bernal, who is widely considered to rival even Zients in power due to his closeness to the first family. Dunn has supported Kirby’s ask, said the fourth source, but still Jean-Pierre has not relented, even after Kirby’s desire was publicly reported in January by Axios.

This is — the President wants to protect Americans. He w- — he wants to protect Americans’ privacy. He wants to protect Americans from coun- — a country, in this — in this instance, that wants to potentially do us harm. And what the President wants to do is give the middle class a break.
