Deese: The circumstances in global oil markets toady, global energy markets today, provide the clearest possible signal why the United States needs to do everything it can to accelerate toward energy security and true energy independence. The only way we can do that is reduce and eliminate our dependence on fossil fuels.

Bedingfield: Today we are marking the 'Transgender Day of Visibility', by celebrating transgender Americans….unfortunately, transgender Americans, particularly children, continue to face unacceptably high levels of bullying and discrimination.

[transgender children are the product of state-sanctioned child abuse]

Bedingfield: We have seen incontrovertible evidence that this has been a strategic disaster for Russia.

[100% false; knowingly false statement]

Bedingfield has stopped claiming Putin was 'misinformed' by his advisors, now simply saying the invasion has been a disaster.

[Biden himself said there is no evidence to support the false statements about Putin]

Bedingfield: Countries are declining our doses, because they don't have the infrastructure in place to take our life-saving 'vaccines'.

Reporter: The Ruble has almost returned to it's pre-war levels. Does the administration believe the santions are working?

Bedingfield: What we are seeing is an artificial propping up of the Ruble.

Reporter: Would the president use his pardon or commutation power with respect to either his son or his brother?

Bedingfield: That's not a hypothetical I'm going to entertain. I don't have anything to add from this podium.

Reporter: You need to see deescalation before he [Biden] will speak to President Putin again?

Bedingfield: We've been very clear on that.
