00:11:15.000So I'm actually interested to see if he's even gonna be able to pull it off or if they're just gonna, if it's gonna be super quick or what it's gonna look like.
00:16:45.000He will need to convince the American people that this election is not really about him versus Donald Trump, that it's about something bigger.
00:16:54.000And this is one of the few circumstances and situations where you can really reach people who may not otherwise listen to you.
00:19:15.000JM, let's talk about this aisle position and what it means to members to be able to snag that moment.
00:19:21.000Yeah, these members have staked out these seats for hours.
00:19:24.000We just saw Terry Sewell, Democrat from Alabama, taking a selfie with the president.
00:19:30.000We see Senator Martin Conrad from New Mexico there.
00:19:34.000Earlier we saw Democrat Sanford Bishop, who's the Democratic, the dean of the Georgia House delegation after the passing of former Congressman John Lewis.
00:21:21.000Democrats are angry at Manchin, but now Republicans are certain to pick up his Senate seat as he doesn't run for re-election.
00:21:27.000And, you know, they have 51 seats right now.
00:21:31.000So that takes him down to 50-50 just as the baseline.
00:21:34.000So they'll certainly miss Manchin when he's gone.
00:21:37.000We can see the Supreme Court, who holds so much power, Rhonda, as they decide the fate of Donald Trump's electability, his qualifications for sitting in court, and that could ultimately decide whether or not he
00:22:09.000I just want to point out that we're all looking to see if Joe Biden is going to have any energy in this speech.
00:22:14.000If he doesn't bring the energy, I believe the House Democrats and Senate Democrats, but mainly the House Democrats, will give him some of that energy.
00:22:22.000They, throughout this entire time in the 118th Congress,
00:22:27.000Have been in lockstep with each other, which has sort of been sort of the split screen when we've seen the tensions boil over on the House Republican side.
00:22:35.000And they do want to show a unified front.
00:22:38.000I've mentioned before that almost all of the guests that a lot of the Democrats are bringing are related to the reproductive rights issue.
00:22:45.000They really want to underscore that as something that they believe they need the chance to govern.
00:22:50.000In those down-ballot races in November, they need their chance to govern.
00:29:11.000If the United States walks away, it will put Ukraine at risk, Europe is at risk, the free world will be at risk, and Bolton and others to do what they wish to do us harm.
00:29:23.000My message to President Putin, who I've known for a long time, is simple.
00:29:57.000Just like history watched three years ago on January 6th, when insurrectionists stormed this very Capitol and placed a dagger to the throat of American democracy.
00:30:07.000Many of you were here on that darkest of days.
00:30:11.000We all saw with our own eyes the insurrectionists were not patriots.
00:30:16.000They'd come to stop the peaceful transfer of power, to oversteer the will of the people.
00:30:21.000January 6th lies about the 2020 election and the plots to steal the election posed a great, gravest threat to U.S.
00:33:48.000Joining us tonight is Kate Cox, a wife and mother from Dallas.
00:33:53.000She's become pregnant again and had a fetus of a fatal condition.
00:33:57.000Her doctor told Kate that her own life and her ability to have children in the future were at risk if she didn't act.
00:34:07.000Because Texas law banned her ability to act, Kate and her husband had to leave the state to get what she needed.
00:34:14.000What her family got through should have never happened as well, but it's happening in too many others.
00:34:20.000There are state laws banning the freedom to choose, criminalizing doctors, forcing survivors of rape and incest to leave their states to get the treatment they need.
00:34:30.000Many of you in this chamber and my predecessor are promising to pass a national ban on reproductive freedom.
00:34:37.000My God, what freedom else would you take away?
00:34:40.000Look, it's a decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
00:34:43.000The Supreme Court majority wrote the following, and with all due respect, Justices, women are not without electoral power, excuse me, electoral or political power.
00:34:55.000You're about to realize just how much you've brought about.
00:35:14.000Clearly, those bragging about overturning Roe v. Wade have no clue about the power of women.
00:35:25.000But they found out when Reproductive Freedom was on the ballot, we won in 2022 and 2020, and we'll win again in 2024.
00:35:45.000If you, the American people, send me a Congress that supports the right to choose, I promise you, I'll restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land again.
00:38:21.000A record 16 million Americans are starting small businesses, and each one is a literal act of hope.
00:38:28.000With historic job growth and small business growth for black and Hispanics and Asian Americans, 800,000 new manufacturing jobs in America and counting.
00:38:39.000Where is it written we can't be the manufacturing capital of the world?
00:39:56.000On my watch, federal projects that you fund, like helping build American roads, bridges, and highways, will be made with American products and built by American workers.
00:40:19.000And thanks to our Chips and Science Act, the United States is investing more in research and development than ever before.
00:40:26.000During the pandemic, a shortage of semiconductors, chips, that drove up the price of everything from cell phones to automobiles.
00:40:33.000And by the way, we invented those chips right here in America.
00:40:37.000Well, instead of having to import them, private companies are now investing billions of dollars to build new chip factories here in America, creating tens of thousands of jobs, many of those jobs paying $100,000 a year and don't require a college degree.
00:41:03.000My policies have attracted $650 billion in private sector investment in clean energy, advanced manufacturing, creating tens of thousands of jobs here in America.
00:41:21.000And thanks to our bipartisan infrastructure law, 46,000 new projects have been announced all across your communities.
00:41:32.000By the way, I noticed some of you who strongly voted against it are there cheering on that money coming in.
00:41:46.000If any of you don't want that money in your district, just let me know.
00:41:52.000Modernizing our roads and bridges, ports and airports, public transit systems.
00:41:56.000Removing poisonous lead pipes so every child can drink clean water without risk of brain damage.
00:42:08.000Providing affordable high-speed internet for every American, no matter where you live, urban, suburban, or rural communities in red states and blue states.
00:42:18.000Record investments in tribal communities.
00:42:21.000Because of my investment in Family Farms led by my Secretary of Agriculture, who knows more about this than anybody I know, we're better able to stay in the family for those farms and their children and grandchildren who have to leave home to make a living.
00:43:12.000Instead of auto factories shutting down, auto factories reopening, a new state-of-the-art battery factory is being built to power those cars.
00:43:32.000The folks at Belvedere, I say, instead of your town being left behind, your community is moving forward again.
00:43:39.000Because instead of watching auto jobs of the future go overseas, 4,000 union jobs with higher wages are building the future in Belvedere, right here in America.
00:45:17.000It's because of you America's coming back.
00:45:19.000It's because of you our future is brighter.
00:45:21.000It's because of you that tonight we can proudly say the state of our union is strong and getting stronger.
00:45:48.000Tonight, I want to talk about the future of possibilities that we can build together.
00:45:56.000A future where the days of trickle-down economics are over, and the wealthy and the biggest corporations no longer get to allow the tax breaks.
00:46:04.000And by the way, I understand corporations.
00:46:05.000I come from a state that has more corporations invested than every one of your states in the United States combined.
00:46:55.000With a law that I proposed and signed, and not one of your Republican buddies voted for it, we finally beat Big Pharma.
00:47:06.000Instead of paying $400 a month or thereabouts for insulin with diabetes, and it only costs $10 to make, they only get paid $35 a month now and still make healthy profit.
00:47:35.000For years, people have talked about it, but finally we got it done and gave Medicare the power to negotiate lower prices on prescription drugs, just like the VA is able to do for veterans.
00:47:52.000We cut the federal deficit by $160 billion.
00:47:54.000Because Medicare is negotiating lower prices for some of the costliest drugs on the market to treat everything from heart disease to arthritis.
00:48:16.000It's now time to go further and give Medicare the power to negotiate lower prices for 500 different drugs over the next decade.
00:48:30.000And they'll still be extremely profitable.
00:48:33.000It will not only save lives, it will save taxpayers another $200 billion.
00:48:41.000Starting next year, the same law caps total prescription drug costs for seniors on Medicare at $2,000 a year, even for expensive cancer drugs that cost $10,000, $12,000, $15,000.
00:48:53.000And I want to cap prescription drug costs at $2,000 a year for everyone.
00:49:08.000I'm going to get in trouble for saying that, but if you want to get an Air Force One with me and fly to Toronto, Berlin, Moscow, I mean, excuse me, and, well, even Moscow, probably.
00:50:34.000I want to make that savings permanent.
00:50:45.000To state the obvious, women are more than half our population, but research on women's health has always been underfunded.
00:50:53.000That's why we're launching the first-ever White House Initiative on Women's Health Research, led by Jill, doing an incredible job as First Lady.
00:51:14.000Well, pass my plan for $12 billion to transfer women's health research and benefit millions of lives all across America.
00:51:23.000I know the cost of housing is so important to you.
00:51:25.000If inflation keeps coming down, mortgage rates will come down as well, and the Fed acknowledges that.
00:51:33.000I want to provide an annual tax credit that will give Americans $400 a month for the next two years as mortgage rates come down to put toward their mortgages when they buy their first home or trade up for a little more space.
00:53:01.000To remain the strongest economy in the world, we need to have the best education system in the world.
00:53:11.000And I, like I suspect all of you, want to give a child, every child, a good start by providing access to preschool for three and four years old.
00:53:22.000You know, I think I pointed out last year, I think I pointed out last year that children coming from broken homes where there's no books, not read to, not spoken to very often,
00:53:39.000Start school, kindergarten, or first grade hearing having heard a million fewer words spoken.
00:53:46.000Well, studies show that children who go to preschool are nearly 50 percent more likely to finish high school, go on to earn a two- and four-year degree, no matter what their background is.
00:54:06.000I met a year and a half ago with the leaders of the Business Roundtable.
00:54:11.000They were mad that I, they were angry.
00:54:12.000I said, well, they were discussing why I wanted to spend money on education.
00:54:19.000I pointed out to them, as vice president, I met with over eight, I think it was 182 of those folks.
00:54:55.000Why are you angry with me providing you the opportunity for the best educated workforce in the world?
00:55:01.000And they all looked at me and said, I think you're right.
00:55:05.000I want to expand high quality tutoring and summer learning to see that every child learns to read by third grade.
00:55:21.000I'm also connecting local businesses and high schools so students get hands-on experience and a path to a good-paying job, whether or not they go to college.
00:55:32.000And I want to make sure that college is more affordable.
00:55:36.000Let's continue increasing the Pell Grants to working and middle-class families and increase record investments in HBCUs and minority-serving institutions, including Hispanic institutions.
00:55:54.000When I was told I couldn't universally just change the way in which we dealt with student loans, I fixed two student loan programs that already existed to reduce the burden of student debt for nearly 4 million Americans, including nurses, firefighters, and others in public service.
00:56:14.000Like Keenan Jones, a public educator from Minnesota, who's here with us tonight.
00:57:09.000By the way, the first couple years, we cut the deficit.
00:57:13.000Now, let me speak to the question of fundamental fairness for all Americans.
00:57:18.000I've been delivering real results in fiscally responsible ways.
00:57:21.000We've already cut the federal deficit.
00:57:23.000We've already cut the federal deficit by over a trillion dollars.
00:57:27.000I signed the bipartisan deal to cut another trillion dollars in the next decade.
00:57:34.000It's my goal to cut the federal deficit another $3 trillion by making big corporations very wealthy finally beginning to pay their fair share.
00:59:43.000Thanks to the law I wrote when we signed, big companies have to pay a minimum of 15%.
00:59:48.000But that's still less than working people pay in federal taxes.
00:59:53.000It's time to raise corporate minimum tax to at least 21%.
01:00:02.000So every big corporation finally begins to pay their fair share.
01:00:06.000I also want to end tax breaks for big pharma, big oil, private checks, massive executive pay, when it's only supposed to be a million dollars that can be deducted.
01:00:16.000They can pay them 20 million if they want, but deduct a million.
01:01:04.000That would raise $500 billion over the next 10 years.
01:01:09.000And imagine what that could do for America.
01:01:12.000Imagine a future with affordable child care.
01:01:15.000Millions of families can get what they need to go to work to help grow the economy.
01:01:19.000Imagine a future with paid leave, because no one should have to choose between working and taking care of their sick family member.
01:01:27.000Imagine the future of home care and elder care and people living with disabilities so they can stay in their homes and family caregivers can finally get the pay they deserve.
01:01:41.000Tonight, let's all agree once again to stand up for seniors.
01:01:47.000Many of my friends on the other side of Iowa want to put Social Security on the chopping block.
01:01:53.000If anyone here tries to cut Social Security or Medicare or raise the retirement age, I will stop you.
01:02:06.000The working people who built this country pay more into Social Security than millionaires and billionaires do.
01:02:58.000Too many corporations raise prices to pad their profits, charging more and more for less and less.
01:03:06.000That's why we're cracking down on corporations that engage in price gouging and deceptive pricing, from food to health care to housing.
01:03:13.000In fact, the snack companies think you won't notice if they change the size of the bag and put a hell of a lot fewer — same-size bag, put fewer chips in it.
01:04:54.000My administration has proposed rules to make cable, travel, utilities, and online ticket sellers tell you the total price up front so there are no surprises.
01:05:39.000That bipartisan bill would hire 1,500 more security agents and officers, 100 more immigration judges to help tackle the backload of two million cases, 4,300 more asylum officers, and new policies so they can resolve cases in six months instead of six years now.
01:06:07.000One hundred more high-tech drug detection machines to significantly increase the ability to screen and stop vehicles smuggling fentanyl into America.
01:06:19.000This bill would save lives and the minority of the border.
01:06:23.000It would also give me and any new president new emergency authority to temporarily shut down the border when the number of migrants at the border is overwhelming.
01:06:34.000The Border Patrol Union has endorsed this bill.
01:06:37.000The Federal Chamber of Commerce isn't.
01:07:55.000But look, if we change the dynamic at the border,
01:07:59.000People pay these smugglers $8,000 to get across the border because they know if they get by, if they get by and let into the country, it's six to eight years before they have a hearing.
01:08:13.000And it's worth taking the chance of the $8,000.
01:08:15.000But, but, if it's only six weeks, the idea is it's highly unlikely that people will pay that money and come all that way knowing that they'll be able to be kicked out quickly.
01:08:29.000Folks, I would respectfully suggest to my Republican friends over to the American people, get this bill done.
01:10:54.000A transformational moment in history happened 59 years ago today in Selma, Alabama.
01:11:03.000Hundreds of foot soldiers for justice marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, named after the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, to claim their fundamental right to vote.
01:11:13.000They were beaten, they were bloody, and left for dead.
01:11:18.000Our late friend and former colleague John Lewis was on that march.
01:14:01.000I'm taking the most significant action ever on climate in the history of the world.
01:14:06.000I'm cutting our carbon emissions in half by 2030.
01:14:08.000Creating tens of thousands of clean energy jobs, like the IBEW workers building and installing 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations.
01:14:20.000Conserving 30% of America's lands and waters by 2030.
01:14:28.000I'm taking action on environmental justice fenceline communities smothered by the legacy of pollution.
01:14:36.000And patterning after the Peace Corps and America Corps, I launched the Climate Corps to put 20,000 young people to work in the forefront of our clean energy future.
01:15:42.000We have to help cities invest in more community police officers, more mental health workers, more community violence prevention.
01:15:50.000Give communities the tool to crack down on gun crime, retail crime, and carjacking.
01:15:56.000Keep building trust, as I've been doing, by taking executive action on police reform and calling for it to be the law of the land.
01:16:06.000Directing my Cabinet to review the federal classification of marijuana and expunging thousands of convictions for the mere possession, because no one should be jailed for simply using or having it on their record.
01:16:41.000There are other kinds of violence I want to stop.
01:16:46.000With us tonight is Jasmine, whose nine-year-old sister Jackie was murdered with 21 classmates and teachers in elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.
01:16:56.000Very soon after that happened, Jill and I went to Uvalde for a couple days.
01:16:59.000We spent hours and hours with each of the families.
01:17:02.000I don't think it's pronounced Jasmine, but I think it's pronounced Yadmin.
01:17:05.000So everyone in this room and this chamber could hear the same message.
01:17:09.000The constant refrain, and I was there for hours meeting with every family.
01:18:54.000I know the last five months have been gut-wrenching for so many people, for the Israeli people, for the Palestinian people, and so many here in America.
01:19:03.000This crisis began on October 7th with a massacre by a terrorist group called Hamas, as you all know.
01:19:10.0001,200 innocent people, women and girls, men and boys, were slaughtered after enduring sexual violence.
01:19:19.000The deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust, and 250 hostages taken.
01:19:27.000Here in this chamber tonight are families whose loved ones are still being held by Hamas.
01:19:34.000I pledge to all the families that we will not rest until we bring everyone of your loved ones home.
01:20:04.000Israel has the right to go after Hamas.
01:20:09.000Hamas ended this conflict by releasing hostages, laying down arms, could end it by releasing the hostages, laying down arms, and surrendering those responsible for October 7th.
01:20:21.000But Israel has a, excuse me, Israel has an added burden because Hamas hides and operates among a civilian population like cowards.
01:24:29.000We have the best economy in the world.
01:24:31.000And since I've come to office, our GDP is up, our trade deficit with China is down to the lowest point in over a decade.
01:24:38.000And we're standing up against China's unfair economic practices.
01:24:42.000We're standing up for peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits.
01:24:47.000I've revitalized our partnership and alliance in the Pacific.
01:24:51.000India, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Pacific Islands.
01:24:58.000I've made sure that the most advanced American technologies can't be used in China, not allowing to trade them there.
01:25:06.000Frankly, for all this tough talk on China, it never occurred to my predecessor to do any of that.
01:25:13.000I want competition with China, not conflict.
01:25:17.000And we're in a stronger position to win the conflict of the 21st century against China than anyone else for that matter, than any time as well.
01:25:26.000Here at home, I've signed over 400 bipartisan bills.
01:25:31.000But there's more to pass my unity agenda.
01:25:35.000Strengthen penalties on fentanyl trafficking.
01:25:58.000And keep our truly sacred obligation to train and equip those we send into harm's way and care for them and their families when they come home and when they don't.
01:26:18.000After the song Support and Help of Dennis and the VA, I signed the PACT Act, one of the most significant laws ever, helping millions of veterans exposed to toxins who now are battling more than 100 different cancers.
01:26:36.000Many of them don't come home, but we owe them and their families support.
01:26:43.000We owe it to ourselves to keep supporting our new health research agency called ARPA-H.
01:26:49.000And remind us that we can do big things, like end cancer as we know it.
01:28:20.000I was born amid World War II, when America stood for the freedom of the world.
01:28:25.000I grew up in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in Claymont, Delaware, among working-class people who built this country.
01:28:32.000I watched in horror as two of my heroes, like many of you did, Dr. King and Bobby Kennedy, were assassinated, and their legacies inspired me to pursue a career in service.
01:28:45.000I left the law firm and became a public defender because my city of Wilmington was the only city in America occupied by the National Guard after Dr. King was assassinated because of the riots.
01:28:56.000I became a county councilman almost by accident.
01:29:00.000I got elected to the United States Senate when I had no intention of running at age 29.
01:29:03.000Then vice president and our first black president.
01:29:09.000Now president to the first women vice president.
01:29:18.000In my career, I've been told I'm too young.
01:29:33.000Whether young or old, I've always been known
01:34:39.000It was half stump speech, half State of the Union.
01:34:41.000A lot of stuff in the beginning about him versus Biden, or rather him versus Trump.
01:34:48.000The first part I was gonna say is so much of it was just like a giveaway for poor people.
01:34:53.000It's just like, it's a campaign speech and it was filled with blatant pandering to poor people and minorities, which are somewhat one and the same thing.
01:35:05.000These things like giveaway preschool, and giveaway tax credits, and giveaway we're getting rid of junk fees, and we're gonna make it so that the bag of chips has more chips in it, and we're gonna make it so that
01:35:20.000We're gonna have an $8 late credit card fee.
01:35:23.000Who has to worry about late credit card fees other than broke irresponsible people?
01:35:31.000Who's out there like legitimately borrowing money using a credit card?
01:37:04.000But so it was this eat the rich Giveaway, but that's the thing our whole country's turning into just like this gross yard sale.
01:37:12.000It's just turning into like What people talk about we're becoming the third world.
01:37:17.000That's that's what it is to be third world To win elections by promising free stuff because that's what it is.
01:37:23.000That's what the student loan forgiveness is about It's a big giveaway
01:37:29.000We're gonna give away, oh, we're gonna cancel your student loans, we're gonna lower your late credit card fees, we're gonna take away junk fees and airlines and for Netflix, we're gonna, we're gonna give you free preschool, we're gonna give you free Pell Grants, we're gonna give you free everything, and we're gonna get the rich, we're gonna eat the rich and make them pay their fair share so we can afford more stuff.
01:37:51.000But what's funny, and corporations, you know, minimum corporate tax he said 21%, minimum billionaire tax 25%,
01:38:01.000What's funny though, he said even if we taxed billionaires at a minimum of 25% he said it would produce $50 billion or $500 billion over the next 10 years.
01:39:21.000When he says he created 15 million jobs, that's because he came in during the recovery, the so-called V-shaped recovery from the recession.
01:39:30.000So, those 15 million jobs are jobs that were eliminated by the pandemic, or eliminated by the government shutdown during the pandemic.
01:39:56.000We still have record high, extremely high deficits, but it's just because we're not doing these COVID stimulus packages, PPP and the rest of it, which was costing
01:40:10.000Like more than ever before by far it's still record high deficits and To cut the deficit you have to cut the spending.
01:40:18.000It's not It's the problem is not that there's not enough tax revenue coming and the problem is that there's just too much spending So that whole the whole economic program is wrong Are we gonna get the Republican response?
01:40:31.000I don't want to miss it I just want to make sure they're gonna get it on Washington Post
01:40:53.000So yeah, that that's one is that it was just like a big giveaway for poor people because that's what it is now It's like you have white people that are actually concerned about the country and you know It's not only white people.
01:41:07.000There are other people like, you know, if there are non-white Republicans I think they care about the country and there are white liberals.
01:41:14.000I think they care about the country but
01:41:17.000We have to recognize that so much of politics now is appealing to the narcissistic self-interest of marginal people, like poor people, militant minorities, religious or ethnic minorities, and the only way that those people get turned out to vote is if you promise to give them stuff.
01:41:38.000With Republicans, like, they're, whatever you want to say about them, they're voting for ideals.
01:42:07.000Affluent white liberals are voting to have things taken away, but in order to satisfy their vision of justice.
01:42:15.000But when Biden goes up there and says, we're going to forgive your student loans, he's just buying the young demographic.
01:42:21.000When he goes up there and says, we're going to give you free stuff and cut the junk fees, you're just buying votes from poor people, from the scrum, from the masses.
01:42:30.000When he goes up there and talks about Selma and all this black people stuff, it's just about trying to win over black people by appealing to their narcissism, their own racial self-interest.
01:43:06.000Two, it's interesting that for all that they say about Trump and they've branded him an extremist, notice how Trump moved the needle on so many issues.
01:43:19.000Immigration is now something that Biden is getting killed over.
01:43:23.000And he had to go up there and say, he even said illegal.
01:43:26.000I think he probably said it unintentionally when Marjorie Greene was heckling him, but he talked about that, what is her name, Lakin Riley or something, that was killed by an illegal immigrant.
01:43:36.000And he said, yeah, she was killed by an illegal and he held up the button.
01:43:40.000And, you know, and he's full of shit on the border.
01:43:44.000He talks about, send a bill to my desk so we can fix the border.
01:44:36.000Seven million illegal aliens since he got elected, and that's because he stopped all of those things that Trump did unilaterally, that Trump did through executive power.
01:44:47.000Ended Remain in Mexico, ended the, I forget the name of it, but the title, something provision that was put in place during COVID that let them deport people at the border, immediately halted construction of the border wall,
01:45:03.000So, it's not like he couldn't shut down the border if there was a real effort, but they want it open.
01:45:11.000And even the comp- you know, he talks about, oh, well, there's a compromise bill that could- and he's taunting the Republicans, but he said the conservatives in the Senate want a immigration bill
01:45:22.000The immigration bill actually makes it so there's more illegals.
01:45:26.000It says they're not even going to start enforcing the border until it's like 5,000 illegals in a day.
01:45:33.000And I forget all the details because that was like a couple months ago, but...
01:45:56.000They've been promising that for 40 years.
01:45:58.000Every immigration compromise for 40 years has been something like that, which is, we're going to trade amnesty in exchange for enforcement.
01:47:13.000And there is significant Chinese subversion and infiltration of the country, but nobody was a China hawk, or I should say very few were China hawks prior to 2016.
01:47:25.000Trump is the one that came down the escalator and said, China is ripping us off, their negotiators are smarter, we have a
01:47:34.000500, 600 billion dollar trade deficit with them.
01:47:59.000And he created a whole generation of China hawks.
01:48:01.000Pompeo, DeSantis, even now Biden is a China hawk and talks about how tough he's going to be on China, passed the CHIPS Act, prevented companies from selling the most advanced technology in China.
01:48:19.000Okay, but I didn't say it a hundred times and I just said bro, you know, you can say generally So he created China hawks immigration restrictionists a Lot of it sounded like eat and again
01:48:34.000Even though Biden is not following through on any of these things, a lot of it is fake.
01:48:40.000So much of the rhetoric is borrowed from Trump.
01:49:41.000But when they, when Biden gives a speech, because I think he's a smart politician, he may be out to lunch but he's still a smart politician, he makes, he reminds people of what Democrats used to be like, where there used to be blue dog Democrats, there used to be union Democrats, the pro-union, pro-American worker, bi-American, anti-China,
01:50:02.000Again, the infrastructure part of the speech, even if none of that is true, even if all of that is basically a lie, and it is,
01:51:54.000Those are the only arguments they can make because the economy sucks, crime is bad, the border is completely open, Biden's retarded, he's unpopular, the foreign policy is failing, we lost in Ukraine.
01:52:47.000And that's why I invited you into our home tonight.
01:52:52.000Like so many families across America, my husband Wesley and I just watched President Biden's State of the Union address from our living room.
01:53:01.000And what we saw was the performance of a permanent politician who has actually been in office for longer than I've been alive.
01:54:03.000The American family needs to have a tough conversation.
01:54:08.000Because the truth is, we're all worried about the future of our nation.
01:54:14.000The country we know and love seems to be slipping away, and it feels like the next generation will have fewer opportunities and less freedoms than we did.
01:54:22.000I worry my own children may not even get a shot at living their American dreams.
01:54:30.000My American Dream allowed me, the daughter of two small business owners from rural Enterprise, Alabama, to be elected to the United States Senate at the age of 40.
01:54:42.000Growing up sweeping the floor at my dad's hardware store and cleaning the bathroom at my mom's dance studio, I never could have imagined what my story would entail.
01:54:53.000To think about what the American Dream can do.
02:05:54.000Wesley and I believe there is no greater blessing in life than our children.
02:06:00.000And that's why tonight I want to make a direct appeal to the parents out there, and in particular to my fellow moms, many of whom I know will be up tossing and turning at 2 a.m.
02:06:15.000wondering how you're going to be in three places at once and then somehow still get dinner on the table.
02:06:39.000I know you're probably disgusted by most of what you see going on in Washington, and I'll be really honest with you, you're not wrong for feeling that way.
02:16:37.000Yeah, it felt like it was in Ramallah all over again.
02:16:39.000It's giving me flashbacks to when I was with Hamas.
02:16:41.000It's giving me flashbacks to when I was with the Palestinian Authority.
02:16:46.000When I was fighting alongside Palestinian-Islamic Jihad in 2003 and they started broadcasting porn, and I was like, hey guys, let's give up our fight against Israel.
02:30:52.000Lethal Animal sent $3, I really like Catholicism in theory, but it seems like in practice everyday Catholics just pick and choose what rules from the church they all follow in a pretty similar way Protestants do.
02:31:03.000Okay, well, you're a faggot so... Blue Power A. Dean Joyer sent $10, thoughts on Truth Social set to go public under ticker $DJT and if he wins, the effect it could have to his net worth and growth of the site.
02:31:16.000Or do you think Truth Social will be always be mid?
02:33:02.000If City and Matrix grow stronger every day, yeah, go figure.
02:33:05.000David Sachs, PayPal Mafia, DeSantis announcement, Elon Musk, American Moment, Saurabh Sharma, Yoram Azony, Irving Kristol, right back to Peter Thiel.
02:33:20.000Johan sent $5, I know it's been said many times but a self-proclaimed Catholic advocating so vigorously for abortion and IVF is just disgusting.
02:38:47.000You were spot on with the whole classical education take last night.
02:38:51.000Having to learn another language yourself or maybe taking some classes in college isn't the same as being steeped in a long-standing educational tradition.
02:38:59.000But you're better than an intellectual.
02:41:20.000And she's only been in office for two years, so I think that probably disqualifies her.
02:41:25.000So I don't think it'll be her, but you know, maybe in...
02:41:29.000Maybe if she wins again, maybe in six years, if she gets another term, maybe she'd be a future statewide, or rather national ticket contender, but not yet.
