[The following transcript was released by the White House. Pool audio and video were not available for this press gaggle.] Mr. President, have you spoken to Leader McConnell? I've spoken to the family. I think he's going to be all right, he'll be good. What did you say to the family? Mr. President, on Chairman Xi's remarks and the foreign minister's remarks this week, they were rather sharp and definitive going after the United States. What's your read on what that means? Not much. Republicans say your budget is dead on arrival. "Why introduce it?" What do you say to them? Watch me. What areas do you think you can find compromises with -- with the Republicans? Well, we'll see what their budget is. I'm ready to meet with him tomorrow if he shows me his budget.
