purpose were mobilized american ground forces. air squadrons ship deployments to protect nato countries including poland, romania lackey, lithuanian, estonia, and as i made crystal clear, the united states and our allies will defend every inch of territory. that is nato territory for the full force of a collective ha, every single life clara. ukrainians are frightened back with pure courage. but the next few days, weeks and months will be hard on him. put his on least violence in chaos. but while he may make gains on the battlefield, he'll pay a continuing high price over the long run. and a pound of ukrainian people, the proud, proud people pound for pound, ready

know news about what's happening can seem alarming to all americans. but i want you to know we're going to be ok. we're going to be ok when the history of this air is written, put his war and ukraine will have left russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger. one. taking wanted and taking something so terrible for people around the world to see what's at stake. now everyone sees it clearly. we see the unity among leaders of nations, a more unified europe, a more unified west. we see unity among the people are gathering in cities and large crowds around the world, even in russia to demonstrate their support. when people have ukraine. in the

battle between democracy now talker sees democracies are rising to the moment and the world is clearly choosing the side of peace and security. this is a real test. it's going to take time for us continue to draw inspiration from the iron will of ukrainian people to our fellow ukrainian americans who forged a deep bond that connects our 2 nations. we stand with you, we stand with you, put my circle cave with tanks, but i'll never gain the hearts and souls of the reigning people. he'll never, he'll never stay, we said love of freedom. and he will never, never weaken the resolve of the free world. we meet tonight in america that has lived through to the hardest years this nation

has ever faced. the pandemic has been punishing and so many families are living paycheck to paycheck. struggling to keep up with the rising cost of food, gas, housing, and so much more. i understand, like many of you did, my dad had to leave his home in scranton, pennsylvania to find work. so like many of you, i grew up in a family when the price of food went up, it was felt throughout the family. it had an impact. that's one of the 1st things i did as president was fight to pass the american rescue plan. because people were hurting, we needed to act and we did few pieces of legislation of dumb more at a critical moment. our history to lift us out of a crisis. it showed our efforts to vaccinate the nation and combat coven 19. delivered immediate economic leave to tens of millions of americans, and help put food on the table. remember those long lines of cars waiting for hours just to get a box of food put in

a chunk it cut the cost of health care insurance. and as my dad used to say, a gave the people just a little bit of breathing room. unlike to trillion, dollar tax cut fast in the previous administration, the benefit of the top one percent of americans, the american rescue plan, the american rescue plan help working people and left know when we're we're in we're in a job, lots of jobs. in fact, our economy created over 6500000 new jobs just last year. more job

in one year than ever before. and it has to united states of america. economy grew to ratify point 7 last year, the strongest growth rate in 40 years. in the 1st step and bringing fundamental change or our economy, it hasn't worked for working people as measured for too long. for the past 4 years, we were told a tax break for those are the top and benefits would trickle down and everyone would know it would benefit. but that trickle down theory led to a weaker economic growth. lower wage is bigger deficits in a wide and gap between the top and everyone else and, and nearly a century look quite fresh, harris and i ran for office. and i realize we have fundamental disagreements on this, but ran for officer, the new economic vision for american invest in american educate. americans grow the workforce. billy economy from the bottom up in the middle out, not from the top down because we know because we know

because we know when the middle class grown in the middle class grows, the portable way up on the wealthy. do very well. america used to have the best rows, bridges in airports on earth, and now our infrastructure is rank 30 in the world. won't be able to compete for the jobs of the 21st century if we don't fix it. that's why we're so important to pass to bipartisan infrastructure law. i, thanks my republican friends. enjoy this new american and single biggest and this is a bipartisan effort. i want to thank the members of both parties to work to make it happen. we're done talking about infrastructure weeks. we're now talking about an

a law on the books for almost a century to make sure taxpayers dollars support american jobs and businesses every administration, democrat and republican says they'll do it. but we're actually, we're actually doing it well by america to make sure every, everything from the deck of an aircraft carrier to the steel highway guard rails is made in america from beginning to end, all of all and you compete for the jobs of the future. we also need to live in plainfield, with china, and other competitors. that's why it's so important to pass the bipartisan innovation ac cities in congress that will make record investments in emerging technologies and american manufacturing. which to invest almost 2 percent of our g d p in research and development. we don't now can. china is

let me give you one example why it's so important to pass. if you travel 20 miles east of columbus, ohio, you'll find a 1000 empty acres of land and won't look like much. but if you stop and look closely, you'll see a field of dreams. the ground in which america's future will be built. that's, we're in tell the american company that help bill. silicon valley is going to build a $20000000000.00 semiconductor mega site up to 8 state of the art tractors, in one place. $10000.00 new jobs and those factories average job about 135 dollars, 135000 dollars a year. so most sophisticated manufacturing the world to make and computer ships a size of a finger tip. the power of the world in everyday lives,
