Tonight's episode is all about the State of the Union address from Sen. Joe Biden, including what he's expected to say and what he might not say. Plus, TikTok is facing a ban, the U.S. is building a port in Gaza, and teenagers are threatening to kill themselves on TikTok.
00:02:29.000If you want to support the show and support our work, go to castbrew.com, pick up your coffee.
00:02:33.000Everybody loves Appalachian Nights, but we cannot stock it fast enough, which is crazy, because the last time it sold out, We reordered a ton, we're like, we gotta re-up the order by 30-40%, and then it sold out, and now it's also, this is amazing.
00:02:45.000So, unfortunately, it sold out, but Stand Your Grounds is comparable, so I definitely recommend you guys buy Stand Your Grounds, and if you like a light roast, Rise of the Birdo Jr.
00:02:53.000When you buy Cast Brew Coffee, you can also buy Alex Stein's blend, we sponsor his show, we're big fans.
00:02:58.000You are also supporting our physical locations, we're gonna be doing live events in Martinsburg, West Virginia, for members only, once per month.
00:03:05.000And when you buy Casbro Coffee, you're supporting it.
00:03:23.000If he goes the amount of time we expect him to, which is typically around 70 minutes, we're not going to do a members only, we'll grab some super chats and then we'll probably wrap by like 1020 or 1030.
00:03:33.000But if for some reason, and they do have betting odds on this, Biden goes short, which he might because the man is on the verge of death, He's very old.
00:03:42.000If he pulls this State of the Union very short, then we will have that members only.
00:04:23.000I am running to become Missouri's 41st Secretary of State.
00:04:28.000And if you guys have seen my video, go to my Instagram, Valentina from Missouri, flamethrower video where I triggered all of the pedophiles because this is a war against evil.
00:08:50.000So drawing attention to the fact that he doesn't have the secured endorsement might kind of encourage people to look at why she's not endorsing him.
00:09:00.000The fact that people don't feel as confident in him.
00:09:01.000The fact that he's losing support among young voters.
00:09:04.000That would be my only guess on why he wouldn't.
00:09:07.000Katie Britt stated in your response, word bingo.
00:11:13.000If you were sitting at a table at a casino and they said, which would you rather bet on, that you hit a blackjack right now or that Joe Biden during a State of the Union address freezes for five seconds, you'd be like, oh, Joe Biden freezing.
00:11:27.000The thing is, if he does freeze, five seconds, ten seconds, whatever, the other side is gonna say, no, he's just pausing for dramatic effect.
00:12:30.000Okay, so Rush Limbaugh got cancer and Trump presented him, Melania presented him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, right, at the State of the Union.
00:12:40.000And it's always like Trump has been saying for, or Biden's been saying for months now that I think it's one of the Uvalde moms is going to be a guest at his State of the Union.
00:12:49.000I mean, this is something they do and kind of see what points they're going to make based on who they're saying is going to sit with them, which I always find really interesting.
00:14:40.000The guy from like 15 years ago and like... If you tried to get through to the real Joe, he would start groping you and he'd push you into the corner of the room.
00:15:05.000Yeah, it's when the comedian punches that woman in the face and tries to rape her.
00:15:09.000Like, take away the physical strength, and that's like Joe Biden behind closed doors.
00:15:14.000The Tara Reade thing is absolutely insane, and I'm surprised the media, I mean I'm not surprised that ABC and NBC don't pick up the story, the Tara Reade sexual assault allegations, but you know, according to Tara Reade, Biden pushed her up against a wall when she was staffing for him, or working for him, and tried to- And then did untoward things.
00:15:29.000Yeah, actually did assault her, and then when she said, no, no, stop, or whatever she said to him- Me too ended!
00:15:35.000He was like, you're dead, you're nothing to me.
00:15:38.000He looked her in the eyes, that's according to her, she said that he told her, you're nothing to me, and then walked When she came out, went public with this, it was the day that Me Too died.
00:15:46.000All of a sudden, it was like, you know, all the liberals were like, we don't know if we care about Me Too anymore.
00:15:50.000It's just right now, at this moment, we're over it.
00:15:54.000And then she fled to Russia because her life was in danger.
00:16:17.000But he's mostly just napping these days, so... Yeah, he's maybe lost a little bit of his drive to creep on women, especially young girls, but I just think that this is not going to be his best moment, you know?
00:16:36.000I just don't know that this kind of all-eyes address is going to make him look like a strong candidate going into the next year or next election cycle.
00:16:47.000Let's jump to the story from The Guardian.
00:16:49.000What to expect from the State of the Union?
00:16:50.000Well, Biden is supposedly going to announce the U.S.
00:16:53.000will build a port on the Gaza shore for large-scale aid delivery.
00:16:59.000Ladies and gentlemen, Biden is expected to announce the State of the Union the U.S.
00:17:03.000will deploy troops on the ground in Gaza in what must be the most psychotic thing I have ever heard a president plan to say at a State of the Union.
00:17:15.000Biden has been freaking out over the far-left pro-Palestinian activists.
00:17:20.000And so now you've got members of the Biden administration saying things like, we want to cease fire.
00:18:24.000Does this article say how, because what they'll do is they'll say we're just sending in peacekeepers right now or advisors or like merchants or something.
00:18:31.000I saw that it's like a temporary port.
00:20:20.000His, in a weird warped way, his attention is on American voters, only progressive ones that he's hoping will go to the ballot for him, or go to the voting booth for him.
00:20:31.000And I think this is a polarizing issue.
00:20:33.000I know it can be among conservative circles, too, but definitely among older people who would consider themselves Democrats and younger people who consider themselves Democrats.
00:22:13.000You can't provide aid and comfort to the enemy of one side.
00:22:16.000And that's, this is the impossible situation that he's in.
00:22:19.000I mean, I don't feel bad for him, but he is trying to say yes to both sides.
00:22:23.000He is actually probably considering, and we know he's done this a couple of times, funding both sides of this war so he can stay in office.
00:22:29.000And I don't think that's, I, obviously I think that we should put American troops on the border before we send them abroad.
00:22:36.000I think that's our big, that should be a bigger national security priority for us.
00:22:40.000But also Biden can literally not make anyone happy in this scenario and it's going to cost him.
00:22:45.000Or even sending money to foreign nations before helping our own states.
00:22:50.000Look at what happened in Lahaina, in Hawaii, Flint, Michigan, in our border.
00:23:06.000Your kids and your pop culture references.
00:23:08.000No, but it's funny because I'm not one, you know, when these leftists are like, you know, there are more empty houses than homeless people.
00:24:27.000You've got to fight to change the laws to defend the Second Amendment because you end up with stories like Lake and Riley who was this, you know...
00:24:35.000Presumably this illegal immigrant, who I believe had been arrested before, was trying to rape her, and she was unable to protect herself from a rapist who then crushed her skull.
00:24:44.000I was just last night thinking about gun control, actually being able to control your gun, being able to control your weapon, and training with it, and how a lot of people probably haven't yet trained with guns, and I think that they should if they're American and it's legal and they have the opportunity.
00:25:00.000It's time to grow up and do the real stuff in life, which is learn how to control weapons.
00:25:04.000And make sure legal, I recommend there's like firearm insurance.
00:25:09.000So in the event you have to defend yourself from a very serious threat, you don't have to worry about very serious legal issues after the fact.
00:25:16.000And so these these things exist and I know a lot of people who are who are trained and advocates for Second Amendment have this.
00:25:22.000But always just be careful because you got to keep it legal and we are winning the constitutional carry Argument, I think, just the other day.
00:25:30.000I don't know, someone fact-check this, because someone superchatted that Louisiana was going constitutional carry.
00:25:36.000So, I certainly am a big proponent of people having guns, and the Second Amendment, especially when we're dealing with a crime spree, that's brought us to the point where... You know, I'll say it like this.
00:25:48.000You know, we're sitting here being like, guys, you need to have guns.
00:25:53.000You need to understand the laws of your jurisdiction, because the last thing we want are good, law-abiding citizens going to jail.
00:25:59.000But look at what's going on in New York with the National Guard.
00:26:01.000The crime has gotten to the point where a conductor, they reach their heads out of the window to check to make sure everyone's on the train before closing the doors, and someone walked up and slid his throat.
00:26:15.000You can't defend yourself in this state.
00:26:17.000And so, I would not, if you live in New York, man, to the people in New York who are fighting the legal fight to get guns legalized and they're winning, you know, good on them.
00:26:28.000But it's gotten so bad, they've deployed National Guard.
00:26:45.000You know how you get to the point where no one's walking around with guns?
00:26:48.000You get better security, law enforcement, policing, secure your borders, reinvigorate your community and your culture.
00:26:55.000But when you have, in these cities, criminals being let go, and the recidivism rates being through the roof, Innocent people are being victimized and killed and what could what more what do you say to that at that point at that point?
00:27:07.000It's how many more Lake and Riley stories to have to have she's not even the first story that anyone's ever talked about and the frustrating thing to me about the Lake and Riley story is that We had there.
00:27:18.000Uh, I can't remember the woman's name in San Francisco.
00:27:21.000Do you remember this one a few years ago?
00:27:25.000The point is All of these stories all the time of innocent, law-abiding people being killed by criminals, by illegal immigrants, and the illegal immigration is an issue because the crime could have been prevented if the laws were enforced.
00:27:40.000We should not have to live in a country where people need to be armed all the time.
00:27:45.000But there's a reason why the Founding Fathers recognized the right to keep and bear arms was paramount.
00:27:49.000For one, We had just had a war, so they were really concerned.
00:28:00.000So, definitely get armed, get trained, make sure everything you're doing is within the law and legal, and be very careful because even in the instance where you're defending yourself, you face very serious legal exposure.
00:28:12.000A big part of tactical training that they teach you is yes, you are, even if you're the one defending yourself, unfortunately a lot of times the courts don't care or won't care and that you need to be ready for that.
00:28:22.000They actually offer insurance through the tactical training, this one that I've been using.
00:28:27.000And they're like, it's not super expensive, and you've got lawyers that understand the law, self-defense law, that you can contact in the instance that something were to happen.
00:28:36.000And I think the idea, like, our culture will shift dramatically when everyone realizes you have to be on guard for your own safety.
00:28:45.000I mean, there are people who talk about, you know, when I was growing up, I could leave
00:30:19.000Because Tim, bad guys with guns are stopped with good guys with guns.
00:30:23.000And the Second Amendment is the only amendment that's going to guarantee the first one.
00:30:27.000And countries that ban rifles, guns, or even flamethrowers are weak and gay, because you should be ashamed of yourself if you cannot defend your family, or your community, or yourself.
00:31:01.000I don't think all drugs should be legal.
00:31:03.000I'm not a big fan of the prison system or the war on drugs.
00:31:05.000I think TikTok and social media is addictive, manipulative, and what they're saying about TikTok is effectively a casino slot machine for children.
00:31:13.000And these kids can't develop resistances to the manipulation.
00:31:19.000And that's why we say you can't gamble or drink or do these things until you're a certain age, when you're past the point where it could rewire your brain.
00:31:53.000This is from Matthew Foldy, political reporter for The Spectator.
00:31:57.000A kid called a house office threatening suicide if the bill passes.
00:32:02.000TikTok is destroying our kids' brains for someone to say this even as a joke.
00:32:10.000Another office is reporting to me that they've gotten suicide threats by American children who called to try to prevent TikTok from being owned by an American company.
00:32:20.000If TikTok has driven these kids to this point, then I'm all in favor of saying shut it down.
00:33:03.000Well, the issue with this is they're going on TikTok and their brains are locked into a slot machine.
00:33:08.000It's just swiping, swiping, swiping and they're getting... It's addictive.
00:33:11.000Well, the crazy thing is, it's fractured reality.
00:33:15.000They're not watching an hour-long podcast where they're getting point A to point B, where a conversation is had, where you can develop neurons around certain concepts.
00:33:23.000They're watching a video of a dog doing a backflip, and they swipe, and there's a picture of a cat jumping over a rabbit, and they swipe.
00:33:29.000Then there's an old lady, you know, doing a jigsaw puzzle, and they swipe.
00:33:31.000Then there's a guy swinging a stripper pole or something like this.
00:33:39.000And what's interesting is we know that social media has basically shortened kids' attention spans, that they're, you know, as the advent of YouTube or whatever else, that they are looking for basically the dopamine hit from the video faster and faster and faster.
00:33:58.000And ultimately, I think that this is not the direction as a culture we'd want, right?
00:34:04.000We want to develop Critical analysis, critical thinking.
00:34:07.000We want kids to want to have to go in depth and really think about their values, their issues.
00:34:12.000And instead, the majority of TikTok's daily user are young American teenagers who are being basically being rewarded for swiping faster and faster and longer and longer all day long.
00:34:21.000TikTok wanted people to call their reps to stop them from shutting this down, and it's backfired.
00:34:27.000They all unanimously voted in favor of it.
00:34:29.000I think it was 50 to 0 on the committee or whatever.
00:35:12.000And also, we know that there are concerns about the terms of service that come with TikTok.
00:35:19.000I mean, this is one of the reasons you saw this wave of of administrators and governors and states saying, if you work on our Wi-Fi or if you use our devices, you cannot have TikTok because we don't know what data it's accessing because its terms of service are so broad.
00:35:34.000And that's something that we have increasingly saw concerns.
00:35:36.000But when that wave, one of these efforts to ban TikTok came up last year, TikTok CEO came and was interviewed by Congress.
00:35:43.000And he was like, well, if you do this, you'll hurt all of these small businesses that depend on us, right?
00:35:48.000I mean, TikTok itself is pulling out all the stops to say, prevent America from banning us because they're using sort of emotional arguments.
00:35:55.000But ultimately, TikTok wants to say, Influential in the U.S.
00:35:59.000because they are the dominant platform controlling how young Americans are spending their time and spending their money.
00:36:05.000You guys know what this bill actually does?
00:36:08.000It would force TikTok to divest from Chinese companies.
00:36:17.000And it would also give the president, it would designate TikTok and ByteDance apps controlled by a foreign adversary.
00:36:25.000And it would give the president future power to say, you know, like, that another app is also controlled by a foreign adversary and therefore we need to separate it from US youth.
00:37:49.000I think Brazil, tons of countries do not allow you to have an independent foreign operation.
00:37:56.000You have to be underneath an existing national operation in that country.
00:37:59.000It reminds me of the laws that have come out in the last couple years of saying that we shouldn't let foreign nationals who have no claim to the U.S.
00:38:19.000You don't have any tie to this country, but you literally own huge chunks of land.
00:38:24.000The United States is the only country in the world that allows China to buy elected officials, to buy farmland, and now to control the minds of their children.
00:39:25.000Facebook, Instagram, and all their platforms are second, are second worst.
00:39:29.000Then YouTube, then, uh, then X. And actually, to be fair, I think, like, X and Rumble are fairly comparable.
00:39:35.000But, uh, Rumble's probably the best in terms of letting you say what you want to say and give your opinion.
00:39:40.000You know, X brought back the misgendering policy, so clearly it's not perfect, but TikTok is 100% the worst.
00:39:46.000And I can tell you this, as a company that produces social media on every single platform, And it's wild when I get a message saying, we got banned on TikTok again.
00:40:15.000I think the clip was something like, well, you know, women tend to prefer, like, you know, this or that, and men tend to prefer... It wasn't like women are dumb.
00:41:31.000I think TikTok is the absolute worst platform.
00:41:35.000I think they absolutely manipulate young people and are intentionally making them psychotic.
00:41:40.000I think that at the very least, if you think it should be allowed that a mass media corporation can operate in the United States under a foreign country, no algorithm allowed.
00:42:03.000Well, if you can verify that the algorithm's not, like, actively sending you more of a certain type of thing because your age or the targeting— But that's what it does.
00:42:39.000It would be, what you're describing is not possible.
00:42:42.000Of making them open their code to function?
00:42:44.000Making an algorithm that would be, like, if they were to say, okay, the algorithm can, like, what are the criteria by which an algorithm would be allowed to promote content?
00:42:52.000Well, like minds is, um, you got your, your, what is it?
00:43:30.000Because you're allowed to talk to kids about communism.
00:43:32.000You're allowed to even indoctrinate kids with communism.
00:43:34.000So what you're saying is it should be legal for TikTok to use addictive social media tools To then force extremist ideology to them, and that should be allowed.
00:43:44.000I think that's what I'm trying to avoid.
00:43:46.000And how we do it, I mean, I don't know if I can come up with it on the spot and tell you exactly all the little yeses and noes.
00:44:00.000Every time they've tried to make a simple algorithm for promoting content people like, it's been exploited by someone else to do something bad.
00:44:07.000So the answer seems to be reverse chronological only.
00:44:10.000Yeah, or at least, in addition to, you also have your reverse chronological.
00:44:14.000Hey, you know what the best system was?
00:44:28.000Now what's happening is TikTok is saying, we're going to show people what they like.
00:44:31.000The only problem is, people get addicted to insane things, and then you end up with kids calling Congress threatening suicide because they're addicted.
00:45:22.000We know that social media is addictive.
00:45:24.000And so the idea that, like, we would just let them be manipulated at the hands of a company that's for profit, that's based in a different country.
00:46:12.000Pop Culture Crisis got banned because Mary Morgan was criticizing the show Mean Girls and TikTok users mass flagged, mass reported the clip and got it removed, I guess.
00:46:53.000See how long it takes before this conversation gets deleted.
00:46:55.000So the math we have to do is, if the best we can get is some clips on TikTok, we'll take it because we're trying to win that ideological fight.
00:49:37.000And if you don't tax them, they'll do the same thing.
00:49:39.000If you don't tax them, they'll buy assets, hard assets, and store their... If you tax the corporations at low rates, then they put that money away.
00:49:48.000If you tax them at high rates, they spend that money as fast as they can.
00:49:51.000The purpose of taxing corporations is to speed up the economy, not to generate money from the government, because the government doesn't need tax money to operate because they print money.
00:51:08.000Income inequality has continued to narrow, with most wage gains going toward lower income workers.
00:51:14.000And household wealth has grown tremendously while debt burdens are at record lows.
00:51:18.000The stock market is not the economy, but it's been raging the whole time.
00:51:22.000The S&P 500 has returned 45%, double the return to the rest of the world, but not quite as high as Trump or Obama's full-term performance.
00:51:30.000In terms of violence, overall homicide rates are falling, with overall violent crime at its lowest since 1969.
00:51:37.000And it's so low, in fact, that they only had to call in 750 National Guardsmen into New York City.
00:51:42.000I love this video, because these are the liberal elites who are like, I looked at a data point in a newspaper and they said everything's good, so it must be good!
00:51:50.000And then you get these from MSNBC when they're like, why are Virginians caring about immigration?
00:53:16.000Out of context, like, uh, inflation is down, I think she said, but what they don't tell you is it used to be at 1, then it was at 50, now it's at 49!
00:53:29.000We don't, we, that's, and, oh, one of the things that really annoys me is all those cuts.
00:53:33.000We're like, she'll talk for three seconds, and then the thing will cut, and she'll talk for four more seconds, and then the thing will cut, and she'll say another statement.
00:53:50.000No, I think it started in the last, like... Twelve years or something.
00:53:52.000Four years while TikTok got really popular.
00:53:55.000I associate that with being a very specific... It was like iPhones brought it in.
00:53:59.000A certain iPhone generation came out where you were able to get clips of video, one after the other, and then all of a sudden it started populating the internet.
00:54:07.000And it makes people seem like they're smart because they'll say really articulate things, and then there'll be a cut, and they'll say another really... But they're memorizing the thing before they hit record, and then they stop, and then they memorize the next thing, then they say stop.
00:54:21.000I didn't do my morning show this morning because I was not feeling very well, and, you know, I wanted to make sure I was here for the State of the Union.
00:54:47.000Look, I wasn't feeling very well, but I knew that if I was gonna do the State of the Union show, I had to take the morning off and just relax all day, and I'm still not feeling very well, and now these pro-Palestinian protesters are gonna make me stay awake for 20 minutes extra when I gotta go to bed.
00:59:23.000You know what I like about the private sector?
00:59:24.000Yeah, there is a dress code in Congress.
00:59:25.000In the private sector, I can go into someone's office, I can put my feet on their table, and tell them to shut the up, because I don't respect them, and they're bad people.
00:59:36.000Everyone here is like, yes, yes, we're all clapping for the other people.
00:59:40.000It's like, dude, Fake nice to one another.
00:59:43.000Say one thing and stab, then stab the American people in the back.
00:59:48.000Is that Biden's motorcade on the right?
00:59:51.000The Supreme Court justices have to show up wearing robes.
01:00:15.000It just like gives me like- Yeah, I don't believe that they could allow a handful of just random leftists to block the president's motorcade.
01:00:24.000I was in LA and Obama was driving through and all of Wilshire was shut down.
01:01:20.000I'm not even going to watch this happen.
01:01:26.000They do have someone who had their first child through IVF sitting in Jill Biden's box, so he'll probably reference the frozen embryos decision.
01:01:44.000I mean, I think the IVF thing is interesting, but it's definitely going to be weaponized.
01:01:48.000I mean, Hillary Clinton came out and was like, next they're coming for birth control!
01:01:51.000Like, this is something the Dems are trying to say in a post-Roe world, anything is something that conservatives can attack.
01:01:58.000But all of the legislation in Alabama that they used to protect the thing they were concerned about was proposed by Republicans, from what I could find.
01:02:03.000There's a couple of cool guys right there.
01:02:06.000and Byron. Cory Mills and Byron. They are both very based.
01:04:45.000You know what would be really awesome?
01:04:48.000If while Biden was speaking, behind him, This, like, crack started to appear, and then a rift in the time-space continuum opened up, swallowing the entirety of DC all at once.
01:05:02.000And all that was left was a gigantic crater, and we were all left wondering for the rest of time, what happened?
01:06:25.000To be honest, I'd rather watch Thomas Massey and Matt Gaetz talk and not hear what they're saying than watch any of this other crap. I'd rather just watch those guys,
01:06:34.000their body language as they're communicating through this. Like, yeah, are you guys listening at C-SPAN?
01:10:17.000The thing is, anybody who's listening to this, not as the video, but just like on a podcast platform, must be skipping ahead over this, being like, come on, guys, let's get to the State of the Union.
01:10:26.000Hey, don't blame us, blame Joe Biden, he's late.
01:15:52.000fifteen minutes is crazy If Trump would have done this, if he would have made everyone wait, what, uh, 15 minutes, he would have gotten trashed.
01:16:01.000Every headline would be like, he's not capable of leading.
01:17:06.000I was leaving my house and I saw a plane in the sky, and then I thought to myself, I wonder throughout history how many people wished upon an alien spaceship on accident.
01:17:24.000The psychic aliens that mask themselves as shooting stars to receive your wishes?
01:17:29.000Or aliens created the idea of wishing on a shooting star so that humans would direct their thoughts to the spaceship so they could track human desires.
01:19:05.000He's gonna forget his speech with all the hands shaking.
01:19:08.000What if he just, like, turns around and leaves, like... Well, I think this is right.
01:19:12.000Like, he's dragging this out for as long as possible, so if he only speaks for 30 minutes, they can still be like, and he ended at 10 o'clock, which is about normal.
01:19:19.000So if those bats still go through, I'm gonna... Also, he still looks lost.
01:20:27.000They just really believe in gun rights.
01:20:30.000This is why we're no longer respected, why we're no longer feared.
01:20:34.000Because of these politicians are so useless.
01:20:37.000I would think like if I was in the Republican Party or something, I would go up to Joe and be like one America baby and like still be good on good terms.
01:20:46.000I would go out of my way to be on good terms with the people on the other side on purpose.
01:21:27.000Like, we do live events, and it'll be like, okay, we're live in five, and then when our guest is coming on, everyone's hounding him, and I'm like, like, just pull him in.
01:21:36.000Security's gotta go and drag him in, because this is never gonna get going.
01:27:35.000In January 1941, Franklin Roosevelt came to this chamber to speak to the nation, and he said, I address you at a moment unprecedented in the history of the Union.
01:30:35.000Oh, Mitt Romney stood up for that one.
01:30:39.000America is a founding member of NATO, the military alliance of democratic nations created after World War II to prevent war and keep the peace.
01:30:51.000Today, we've made NATO stronger than ever.
01:30:55.000We welcomed Finland to the alliance last year.
01:30:59.000Oh, I thought he was going to mess it up.
01:43:10.000Well, 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.
01:43:22.000Many of those jobs paying $100,000 a year and don't require a college degree.
01:45:32.000Then I was elected to office, and we raised the Belvedere repeatedly with auto companies, knowing unions would make all the difference.
01:45:39.000The UAW worked like hell to keep the plant open and get these jobs back, and together we succeeded.
01:45:45.000Instead of auto factories shutting down, auto factories reopening, and a new state-of-the-art battery factory is being built to power those cars there at the same time.
01:46:01.000Well, and, like, all these jobs are coming back.
01:46:03.000But do you remember how many people lost their jobs because we froze the economy?
01:46:07.000Instead of your town being left behind, your community is moving forward again.
01:46:12.000Because instead of watching auto jobs in the future go overseas, 4,000 union jobs with higher wages are building a future in Belvedere right here in America.
01:48:24.000That we can build together a 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.
01:48:36.000There you go It's so many How many do you have so far?
01:49:38.000Instead of paying $400 a month or thereabouts for insulin with diabetes, it only costs $10 to make, they only get paid $35 a month now and still make healthy profit.
01:50:08.000For 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.
01:50:20.000Oh yeah, I've heard a lot of good things about the VA.
01:50:22.000Yes, that government subsidized healthcare is great.
01:50:24.000I've heard a lot of good things about the VA.
01:51:02.000He's also making a lot of money from the war.
01:51:03.000And we'll still be extremely profitable.
01:51:07.000Will not only save lives, it will save taxpayers another $200 billion.
01:51:10.000Starting 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.
01:51:16.000I want to cap prescription drug costs at $2,000 a year for everyone.
01:51:19.000Medicare at $2,000 a year, even for expensive cancer drugs that cost $10,000, $12,000, $15,000.
01:51:27.000I want to cap prescription drug costs at $2,000 a year for everyone.
01:55:16.000And renovate 2 million affordable homes and bring those rents.
01:55:21.000To remain the strongest economy in the world, we need to have the best education system in the world.
01:55:44.000And 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.
01:56:07.000Children coming from broken homes where there's no books, no not read-do, no spoken-do very often.
01:56:12.000Start school, kindergarten or first grade, hearing, having heard a million fewer words spoken.
01:56:19.000Well, studies show that children who go to preschool are nearly 50% more likely to finish high school, go on to earn a two and four year degree, no matter what their background is.
01:56:29.000And now pumping themselves with hormones and mutilating themselves.
01:56:32.000All I've heard is kids who go to preschool are more likely to take out a federally backed college loan and be in debt when they start as adults.
01:57:54.000I'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.
01:58:04.000And I want to make sure that college is more affordable Yeah, it's first grade.
01:58:09.000So he's saying send them to companies, but then... He's saying relax the standards.
02:00:00.000I signed a bipartisan deal to cut another trillion dollars in the next decade.
02:00:07.000It's my goal to cut the federal deficit another three trillion by making big corporations very wealthy, finally beginning to pay their fair share.
02:05:16.000I'll protect and strengthen Social Security and make the wealthy pay their fair share.
02:05:24.000Too many corporations raise prices to pad their profits, charging more and more for less and less.
02:05:39.000That's why we're cracking down on corporations that engage in price gouging and deceptive pricing from food to healthcare to housing.
02:05:46.000In 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... Is he going to mention Latham Riley?
02:06:36.000This is his final State of the Union during this term, so I feel like he can just say all kinds of stuff, make all kinds of promises, and be like, this is why you need me to stay.
02:07:27.000My 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.
02:08:12.000That bipartisan bill could 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.
02:10:27.000But look, if we change the dynamic at the border, People pay these smugglers $8,000 to get across the border.
02:10:36.000Because 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.
02:10:45.000And it's worth taking the chance of the $8,000.
02:10:48.000But, but, if it's only six months, 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.
02:14:50.000But 59 years later, their force has taken us back in time.
02:15:03.000Voter suppression, election subversion, unlimited dark money, extreme gerrymandering.
02:15:10.000John Lewis is a great friend to many of us here, but if you truly want to honor him and all the heroes who marched with him, then it's time to do more than talk.
02:17:00.000I'm taking action on environmental justice fence line communities smothered by the legacy of pollution.
02:17:09.000In pattern 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.
02:18:15.000To help cities invest in more community police officers, more mental health workers, more community violence than violence.
02:18:22.000Get communities the tool to crack down on gun crime, retail crime, and carjacking.
02:18:28.000Keep building trust as they've been doing by taking executive action
02:18:32.000on police reform and calling for it to be the law.
02:18:36.000Mental health workers to cut down on retail.
02:18:38.000Directing 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.
02:18:48.000And that's a lie because it's basically no one.
02:18:50.000Look at the DA that sent all those people to jail for possession of marijuana.
02:19:51.000Well, I did do something by establishing the first ever Office of Gun Violence Prevention in the White House, that the Vice President is leading the charge.
02:21:27.000And all 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.
02:21:35.000Does that count as saying Israel and Palestine?
02:21:36.000This crisis began on October 7th with a massacre by a terrorist group called Hamas, as you all know.
02:21:43.0001,200 innocent people, women and girls, men and boys, slaughtered after enduring sexual violence.
02:21:52.000The deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
02:22:39.000Israel has the right to go after Hamas.
02:22:42.000Hamas ended this conflict by releasing hostages, laying down arms, could end it by releasing the hostages, laying down arms, and surrendering those responsible.
02:22:54.000But Israel has a... Excuse me, Israel has... Is that three or four?
02:22:59.000Probably seven, that was three in a row.
02:23:00.000Hamas hides and operates among the civilian population like cowards, under hospitals, daycare centers, and all the like.
02:23:08.000Israel also has a fundamental responsibility, though, to protect innocent civilians in Gaza.
02:23:17.000What about the United States citizens?
02:23:22.000This war has taken a greater toll on innocent civilians than all previous wars in Gaza combined.
02:23:32.000More than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed.
02:24:22.000military to lead an emergency mission to establish a temporary pier in the Mediterranean on the coast of Gaza that can receive large shipments carrying food, water, medicine, and temporary shelters.
02:31:18.000I 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.
02:31:29.000I became a county councilman almost by accident.
02:31:33.000I got elected to the United States Senate when I had no intention of running at age 29.
02:31:38.000Then vice president of our first black elected to the Senate now president to the first women vice president
02:31:44.000first women vice president Does he know what a woman is?
02:31:47.000His multiple personalities first women First woman vice you look at her. He's looking at her
02:31:54.000Women over there he got bring himself to do it I've been told I was too young
02:32:07.000By the way, they can let me on ascended elevators for votes sometimes.
02:37:56.000There's a $10,000 challenge that's up.
02:38:00.000So the new Freedomistan skate park is just about complete.
02:38:05.000And we have an 11-foot vert wall with a 5-foot transition, and it's probably stupid of me to do, but there is a preliminary offer of a $10,000 prize to drop in from the roof of the- from the top floor of the building into the 5-foot transition.
02:38:45.000And that's going to be a big component of what we're doing over at Boonie's HQ on Instagram.
02:38:49.000The new skatepark will be done this Saturday on my birthday, and we're going to have an opening session to check it out.
02:38:53.000And then what we're going to do is we're going to set, we're going to create challenges, so follow at boonieshq, that's B-O-O-N-I-E-S-H-Q, and at timcastirl everywhere else.
02:39:05.000Valentina, do you want to shout anything out?
