outlined how he will pay for the proposals in his jobs plan. in his weekly address, he discusses some of its measures and urges congress to pass it. peter roskam of illinois gives the republican address this week. he talks about how federal regulations are hampering job creation. >> i spent some time traveling the country and talking with folks outside of washington. the number one issue for the people i meet is how we can get back to a place where we are creating good, middle-class jobs that pay well and offer security. that is the idea behind the american jobs act. it is a jobs bill that does to simple things. but more people back to work and more money into the pockets of people who are working. this jobs bill puts construction workers back to work. this jobs bill puts teachers back and the classrooms and keeps cops and firefighters on our streets. this jobs bill gives tax credits to companies that hires

are veterans. this jobs bill can next long- term unemployed to temporary work to keep their skills sharp while they look for a job. gives hundreds of thousands of young people the hope of a job next summer. this cuts taxes for every small-business owner in america. it cuts the even more for small business owners to hire new workers and raise workers' salaries. it cuts taxes for every working family in america said that he will have more money in your pockets and businesses know they will have more customers to buy what they sell. that is the american jobs act. you can check it out for yourself at the whitehouse.gov. it will not add to the deficit,

it will be paid for. on monday, i will lay out my plan for how we will do that. we will follow some basic principles. making sure we live within our means and asking everyone to pay their fair share. right now, we have to get congress to pass the jobs bill. everything in the american jobs act is the kind of idea that has been supported by democrats and republicans before. if they are ideas that you agree with, that everyone of you can help make it happen by telling your congressperson to pass the jobs act right away. some of them would rather wait another year them work together right now. most americans do not have the luxury of waiting. it was three years ago this week that a financial crisis on wall street made things more difficult to folks on main street. the time for action is now. no more games, no more gridlock, no more division or delayed.

it is time for the people that you sent to washington to but country before party. it is time to get to work and show the world once again by the united states of america remains the greatest nation on earth. thank you. >> i am peter roskam. i have the honor of representing the people of illinois six congressional districts. i am frustrated with america's jobs crisis. more than 650,000 people are out of court in illinois, president obama as home state. business owners are fighting every day to create and innovate, but continued to face government barriers. and unsustainable debt, constant threat of higher taxes, and excessive regulation. today, i would like to talk to you about excessive federal regulations. how they hurt jobs and we can do about it. appropriate and responsible regulation help protect our health and safety things have changed quickly and for the worse. washington has become a red tape

factory with more than 4000 rules and the pipeline, hundreds of which would cost our economy more than $100 million each annually. just want it will has chicago, a manufacturer and might district, fighting to survive in an already tough economy. already facing a stream of regulations. they will soon face a new regulations from unelected bureaucrats. chicago casting already has one employee who spent half his time dealing with existing federal audits, certification requirements, and complex paperwork. by now, you probably heard about the case of boeing. this company invested more than a billion dollars in a new plant in south carolina that

would generate thousands of good paying jobs. only to be sued by the government and told the plant cannot open. boeing is being sued by the national labor relations board, which is charged for looking out for labor unions. i would also like to share with you the story of gibson guitars. a few weeks ago, they were raided by 26 armed federal agents. regulators have not explained to the company what they may have done wrong. i would like to know how job creators can be expected to prosper with the front of a federal raid and over them. stories like these are cropping up coast to coast. one illinois farmer stood up at a town hall meeting and pleaded with the president, he said, please do not challenge us with more rules and regulations. i could not have said it better

myself. that farmer was one of several job graders that attended the president's speech to congress as guest of house speaker john boehner. republicans are listening to america's job creators and working to address their concerns. in the house, majority leader has scheduled several bills for a vote this fall aimed at cutting red tape. this week, the house passed a bill to eliminate the barriers that boeing faces. it stops the government from telling an employer where it can and cannot create jobs. we can take common-sense steps like these and still have rules that look out for our health and safety. what is important is that these rules are effective and dependable. job creators should be able to focus on their work, not on washington's busy work. in his speech last week, the

president talked about the urgency of this month. he said we can act right now. i agree. he can help us to fix this cost of regulatory environment immediately. he already canceled some counterproductive rules that hurt our economy and he can cancel more. he can call on the democrats' senate to pass the dozens or so jobs built. that includes the boeing bill but i just mentioned. there is also the common-sense legislation that gives congress a say before washington imposes new rules and regulations. instead of being circumvented, the people's representatives should be able to held accountable unelected bureaucrats that encroach on our freedom. i hope the president will consider our ideas as we take a look at his. let's listen to the people and find common ground to remove barriers to job creation.

let's help small businesses return to creating jobs they can pick up where they left off instead of being left behind. you can learn more about our jobs plan by visiting jobs.gop.gov. >> former president george w. bush and former secretary of state condoleezza rice discuss global issues. then, the white house medal of honor ceremony. california representative henry waxman, a ranking member of the energy and commerce committee, offers a perspective on the republican plans to roll back regulations in a difficult economy. that is sunday at 10:00 and 6:00 on c-span. sunday, speeches by texas gov.

rick perry and minnesota rep michele bachmann. >> i was not one of those people who knew at the age of 12 that he wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer or a governor or president. i spent many a night pondering my purpose. talking to god, wondering what to do with this one life. what i learned as i wrestled with god is that i did not have to have all the answers. they would be revealed to me in due time. >> as nominee of the republican party, i will also tell you, i will not rest until i can elect 13 more like minded titanium spine senators who will go with me and also repeal obama-care.

i will go all across the country. i will raise money for them. i will do whatever it takes to make sure they are elected. we must have a filibuster-proof senate and that is the magic number that we need to get 13 more senators. >> watch both speeches tomorrow night at 9:30 on c-span. >> the george w. bush institute held a two-day global help some of this week. george w. bush opened the session. following his remarks, former secretary of state condoleezza rice delivered the keynote address. she highlighted u.s. commitment to global help, including programs enacted during the bush administration. this is about 20 minutes.

>> thank you for coming and good morning. i have the honor of introducing a gear friend, a musician, a golfer, and an elegant woman who served america as our secretary of state. the finest -- i had better be careful. [laughter] >> one of the greatest secretary of states ever. she understands that in order to heal human suffering, america must lead. that means the congress must lead. that means that corporate america must lead. that means that ngo's must lead. that is what this conference is really setting.

we understand the obligations and the call. somebody understands that as well as anybody is our dear friend, condoleezza rice. [applause] >> thank you. thank you very much. it is a pleasure to join you here for this very important affirmation of the importance of the global health crisis that we face and america's role. i would like to thank president bush and mrs. laura bush. the first lady was an amazing partner in our diplomacy from everything from advocating for people of the freedom to the health crisis. thank you very much for your

guidance and for your role. [applause] the u.s. aid administrator and investor, thank you for your continued leadership on these issues. i would like to very much welcome to the united states -- rwanda is a country that has come through extraordinary difficulties and is still standing and progressing. thank you very much. [applause] to my friend, who is heading the bush institute in dallas, thank you for your leadership. this global health summit is very important and it is important that we meet here in washington. the united states of america has always been at its best in

international affairs, always been at its best in the world. the view that no man, woman, or child to doubt to live in tyranny caught in poverty, or disease is a moral case. it is a case that we who are fortunate enough to live on the right side of history must make for those still trapped in tyranny, poverty, disease. it is a moral case, but i want to say to you that it is also a practical case. it is a practical case because places where government and leaders will not or cannot provide for their people are ultimately dangerous places.

we have just come through the 10th anniversary of september 11. we learned the hard way on that bright september day that the danger to us, the greatest danger to us, came not from the marching armies of large states but from a stateless group of terrorists, a network that plotted and plans in the world fifth poorest country, afghanistan, and launched a devastating attack costing about $300,000. we learned the hard way that where there is hopelessness and despair, there is danger. where there are unstable states, there is danger. where people cannot to exercise their rights to their voic
