5:00 am
in order to be gets rid of the rational allergy sources we meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the stall restock matter. on al jazeera, the american people have spoken. but what exactly did they say? is the world looking for a whole new order with less america in it? is the woke agenda on the decline in america? how much is social media companies know about you? and how easy is it to manipulate the quizzical look us politics the bottom line? ah ah, adorning us now is us present terabyte and get set to deliver his 2nd stay to the union address. all eyes are on capital hill, as bible is expected to speak to
5:01 am
a deeply divided congress about economic uncertainty and policing before war in ukraine. and tensions with china are also expected to be on the agenda. we bought it goes into the sweets with a flagging approval rating of 42 percent of the worst ever 2nd year approval ratings for us president let's now i go live to our white house correspondent, kimberly how could she's out, capitol hill or so. kimberly, for expecting a speech with unavoidable international issues, but he's very much hoping to woo, a domestic us audience with the bulk of his address, isn't it? yeah, there's no question that this is a pivotal speech for joe biden. and this is the president, 2nd state of the union address, but there is a key difference this time. and that key difference is that this time he speaks to a divided congress. previously, jo biden's, democrats controlled both the house of representatives as well as the u. s. senate
5:02 am
this time that is not the case. the house of representatives controlled by opposition, republicans and so he has that backdrop. he also has the backdrop of poll numbers, which are among the lowest of his presidency. and so he makes a pitch to the american public for a nother term in office. in many cases, this is a defacto pitch, if you will, to the american public for another term in the white house. and so the u. s. president is not only going to be throughout the speech, highlighting the successes that he sees as the past 2 years, but also making the case for another. for now, as we watch these pictures, you've seen the members of the cabinet. they've been filing into the house of representatives. already we've seen the members of the house of representatives seated as well as the members of congress from the u. s. senate seated there is also you'll see on the left of your screen there. the members of the judiciary that
5:03 am
the members of the supreme court, what we're waiting for now is the sergeant of arms to bring in or announced the arrival of u. s. president joe biden. you can also see there the 1st lady, dr. jill biden, as well as vice president campbell, a harris's husband as well. the 1st gentleman as well. he is seated there and also in the gallery. there are some very pivotal guests that often give us a bit of a road map to the president's priorities that he'll be laying out the speech. we know, for example, that tyree nichols, parents who remember that ty nichols was the man that was killed in that very graphic video that came out of memphis. he was the victim of police brutality of those 5 memphis police officers accompanying dr. jill, by then will be his step father, as well as his mother, as the president addresses police for forming his speech. we also know that
5:04 am
accompanying the 1st lady will be the you praying ambassador to the united states as the president once again, underscore the importance of u. s. support for ukraine. and we also know that there will be as well activism that will be addressed and it looks like the president is about to come in. so let's listen as doctor or rather joe biden walks in, briefs, those that are gathered in the chamber with kimberly as me see him coming in care, very much of a domestic audience. but as you say, you can't ignore the ongoing war. ukrainian issues regarding china and you
5:05 am
know, and that's definitely something that he will have to address. and of course, he will also, we expect to address the earthquake that has just taken place and the thousands of lives that have been lost to it recently and turkey and syria. we expect that he is also going to talk about just that tragedy and the u. s commitment to rebuilding their we expect that he will once again pledge for ongoing commitments for international support. we're continuing in ukraine and deal to us partners and allies and as well. we expect that he will potentially given the incident of the chinese spy balloon that has drifted over the united states in the last week. he may even have some harsh words for china. we know in previous year he only mentioned china about 3 times in his state. of the union speech of many are
5:06 am
watching to see if he will mention it more this time around. and we should also point out that to the back of the of the chamber there, you see the vice president as well as the house speaker, that's vice president caudle, a harris as well as the house speaker, kevin mccarthy. once the president gets to the podium, he will turn around and he will hand to each of them a copy of his speech. you will remember perhaps, some of our viewers will remember in previous years when donald trump was president . that house speaker nancy pelosi famously ripped up donald trump speech. we don't expect that to be the case this time around. but we watch very carefully to see what kind of body language there will be as there is that interaction. you have to remember that kevin mccarthy is a republican, joe biden is a democrat. and you have to remember that joe biden was once a u. s. senator, so he is very comfortable. i capitol hill. he has been in this chamber in the
5:07 am
audience many, many times. watching the state of the union address. now of course he gives us address as a president, and we know we know the president will be speaking about a number of key issues. not only will he be highlighting his successes, a couple of legislative agenda, items that he believes are successful, for example, his infrastructure law, as well as combating inflation. he's going to talk about the various successful low unemployment numbers, some of the lowest and a half century. we also know the president is going to talk to congress about spending more money to help improve ordinary americans lives. he's going to call on congress to spend more on cancer research and things like mental health in combating the opioid addiction in the united states as well. as combating the high
5:08 am
suicide rate when it comes to veterans. so you can see the president continuing to make his way through the crowd as he makes his way towards the podium. the president is going to talk a lot about the economy again. as the president is still dealing with some very high inflation, number 2, this is pay the price of a was the present problems when it comes to his low approval ratings. the fact that ordinary americans are still struggling to pay some very high prices. so we watch very carefully to see what the president will say about lat, was approaching his beach, shaking hands with the house speaker vice president. so he'll handle a copy of the speech, and then he will is about to deliver it now. a 2nd lesson mm
5:09 am
was happy who can longer. i think all of her present to you, the president of the united states who move can can mister speaker, madame vice president, our 1st lady and 2nd gentleman. good to say you guys up

5:12 am
i think you are honest, i me have a slightly bigger majority. mr. mid iron majority leader, but that much bigger. well, i tell you what, i want to expect a regular special recognition to someone who i think is going to be considered the greatest speak in history. the house of representative, nancy holmes, is donated american story of progress and resilience of always knowing forward of never, ever giving up the story unique among all nations were the only country that has emerged from every crisis we've ever entered. stronger than we got into it. look, folks, that's what we're doing again, 2 years ago the economy is really,
5:13 am
i stand here tonight at really crazy with the help of many people in this room. 12000000 new jobs, more jobs created and 2 years any present, crated in 4 years. because of you know, in 2 years ago because i had shut down our businesses are closed, our schools were robbed of so much and today co would no longer controls our lives . and 2 years ago, democracy faces greatest stretches of war. and today, though, bruised our democracy remains unbowed an unbroken in. already the next chapter, the great american stories,
5:14 am
story of progress and resilience. when world leaders asked me to define america and they do, believe it or not, i can define it in one word. and i mean, this possibilities. we don't think anybody is beyond our capacity. everything is a possibility. you know, are often told that democrats, republicans can't work together. but over the past 2 years, we prove the cynics. a nice, there's wrong. yes, we disagree plenty. and yes, there are times of democrats went along. but time and again, democrats, republicans came together, came together to offend a stronger and say for europe, it came together to pass one of the agenda wanted a generation, once a generation infrastructure law, building bridges, connecting our nation and our people. we came together to pass most significant law ever helping vixon to expose the toxic burn pits. and in fact

5:16 am
our country and i know it's many of yours to restore the soul, this nice to rebuild the backbone of america, america's middle class, and unite the country. we been sent here to finish the job in my view for decades and middle class had been hollowed out in more than and now no one administration, but for a long time. too many good fe, manufacturing jobs move overseas. factories closed down on striving, cities and towns that many of you represent became shadows of what they used to be along the way. something else we lost pri, our sense of self worth. i ran for president to fundamentally change things to make sure our economy works for everyone. so we can all feel that pride and what we do to build an economy from the bottom up in the middle out. not from the top down. because when the middle class does well, the poor have a ladder up and the wealthy still do very well. we all do
5:17 am
know a lot of you always kid me drawers called my dad when my dad used to say, joe had jobs about a lot more than a paycheck is really would say this. it's about a lot more than a paycheck. it's voucher dignity. it's of our spec, it's bob in a looker kidney. i'm say, honey, it's gonna be ok and meaning folks. so let's look at a results or not finish it by any stretch imagination, but unemployment rate is a 3.4 percent of 50 here, low. ruth new record on 41 can hispanic workers. we've already created your help. a 100000 good pay manufacturing jobs. the just frozen 40 years

5:30 am
$1.10 americans as diabetes. many of you in this chamber do and then the audience every day, millions needed so to control their diabetes. so they can literally stay alive. this has been around for over a 100 years. the guy invented dinning and patent of if you wanted to be available for everyone. it caused the drug companies roughly $10.00 vile to make that insulin package in. all you may get up to $13.00, but big pharma. i've been unfairly charging people hundreds of $1.04 to $500.00 among making revenue record profits not any more anymore.
