GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS, ABC HOST: And we begin this morning with the head of the National Economic Council at The White House, Brian Deese. Brian, thank you for joining us this morning.

Let’s begin with inflation. It’s pretty clear those inflation numbers are driving discontent with the economy. What, if anything, can the president do about it?

BRIAN DEESE, HEAD OF THE NATIONAL ECONOMIC COUNCIL: Well, inflation is high and it’s affecting Americans and their pocketbook and their outlook. But that concern actually underscores why it’s so important to move forward on the Build Back Better bill that Congress is considering.
