expect from biden's 1st state of the union address. there are so many burning issues, both international and domestic. ok looks away, having some problems in the u. s. that leaves you will well, much going on. i think that i think the problems here may be emblematic of all the issues that joe biden is facing. yeah, i think he was hoping that he was going to be focusing on domestic agenda for this state of the union. his 1st official, one as president, although he's been president now for more than a year. i to say that he is coming quite late. usually it's in january now it's in march. he was hoping to focus on climate on the economy. on the recovery from the pandemic. really convincing americans are reminding americans why people voted for him and pushing his infrastructure bill that got sign a few months ago, pushing more on the social side of things that he wanted. but of course, ukraine is over shadowing it big time as it rightly should on the u. s. is back as a world leader in a big way. and joe biden is going to have

a very tough challenge to make that case of being tough on russia standing up to the invasion that russia has now a is now a practice, you know, carrying out in ukraine at the possible heavy cost economically speaking to the united states and as we know, as the famous clinton line, all politics are local, all politics are local and that the economy stupid, and how the economics of sanctions might play out in the united states. how it hits americans pocket books can affect how people view him. and remember, it is a mid term election year. he could lose congress in just a few months. just reminder, we're waiting for job on the studies state of the union address as we white with him they, he's in the situation where he has to walk the line that want a president to stand up to rush aaron present to the world. the tough image of all the u. s. president's pos, but this burning issue of the economy that they lift the sanctions in russia will

make it tougher for americans at the gas pump when they're buying food. the cost of living in the united states is skyrocketing and whether it's his fault or not, he's going to be the $1.00 to take. the blame is enough, right? i mean, inflation is i all time highs a place and we haven't seen in decades. in fact, most economists have forgotten what inflation even is because it's been so long that is not really biden's fault. um, it has a lot to do with all this excess public spending that's been pumped into the system to counter the the effects of coven in the counter. those massive economic difficulties that not just the united states, but all around the world saw out when basically world economy shut down. due to the pandemic, there's lot of money sloshing around which has been driving up wages, driving up prices. and this war in ukraine by a country that is a huge producer of gas and oil, not so much when i say to particular, but certainly here in europe and other places around the world is only going to put

more pressure on those gas prices. and you have to see americans, according to public opinion, according to public opinion polls. most americans are for standing up to russia there for standing up to vladimir putin. they are for standing up with and for ukraine, but that doesn't necessarily translate into support for joe biden. the fact that you ask republicans, they say it's jo biden's fault that this invasion is happening. it wasn't tough enough. and now a problem is, you put these sanctions in place. they're going to significantly hurt russia, but there is going to be blow back as you just mentioned in terms of price of gas price for food. remember ukraine and russia, huge grains of huge grain producers, huge corn producers. they feed a lot of the world. a lot of our sunflower oil, sunflower, product, sunflower, seeds, east side of things come from ukraine, come from russia. if they start seeing more price is due to the sanctions going up the united states that could hurt joe by them politically. because again,

you might have a lot of solidarity for standing up to russia and protect and ukraine. but it starts to make life hard in the pocket book of average americans that can be a hard case to defend, especially as i said, going to mid term elections where the democrats are gonna have. it's gonna be a miracle if they can hold on to the house and the senate in november can be a miracle if he can walk this line and walking. joe bought needs into the capital building into the joint city of congress as we speak. it's hard to see how he's gonna walk this line between domestic and in his national policy. but we're about to find out. we're going to go across now live to the capital building. joe bought and making his entrance before making the state of the union address.

knowing the size of these walk down the aisles willingly what just had the chance to talk about? how does he want to win for biden? to not he leaves this chamber with what fertile. i think it's interesting that job . i'm not wearing a mask master optional in congress right now. and so that based on recent changes the, to the center for disease control guidelines about mascot needs to wear them. we can actually might, we might be able to actually see the 1st time in a long time of both sides of the aisle. republicans and democrats standing up to applaud the president when it comes to ukraine, which is a, the kind of bipartisan sport we haven't seen very much on many other issues when it comes to domestic stuff. probably less so probably more just on the democrats. i think president by the about to start handing his speeches to nancy, close the speaker of the house. our house gets one to wear a bed of iran. yep. here is the president the united states, joe biden, to make the state of the union address at the capitol. i have the high privilege

and distinct honor of presenting to you the president of the united states. thank you. thank you very much. you're very much. thank you

so much, madam speaker. madam vice president, our 1st lady and 2nd gentlemen, members of congress and the cabinet. justice of the supreme court. my fellow americans, last year, covent 19, kept us apart. this year were finally together again to nice my, we me, democrats, republicans, independence, but most importantly, as americans with duty to one another to america, the american people, to the constitution and an unwavering resolve that freedom will always triumph over tyranny.

6 days ago. russia's latimer boots, sought to shake the very foundations of the free world. thinking again, make it ben to his managing ways. but he badly miscalculated. he thought he could roll in ukraine and the world would roll over. instead, he met with the mall. wall of strategy never anticipated or imagine he met ukrainian, people in prison ever ukrainian or fearlessness their courage. the determination literally inspires the world. groups of citizens blocking tanks with their bodies. every one from stones to retiring to

teachers turned soldiers defending their homeland. and in this struggle, president zalinski said in his speech, the european parliament light well went over darkness, ukrainian basses united states as your to night, sitting with the 1st lady let's each of us, if you're able to stand, stand and send an unmistakable signal for thinking right long

yes, we've united states america, stay with the ukranian people. throughout our history. we've learned this lesson. when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos. they keep moving, the cost, the threats to the america and america to the world keeps rising. that's why the nato alliance was created to secure pieces debility in europe after world war 2. the united states as a member on were 29 other nations. it matters. american diplomacy matters. american resolve matters. foods latest attack on ukraine was premeditated and totally unprovoked. he rejected repeated repeated efforts at diplomacy. he thought the western nato wouldn't respond. he thought i could divide it at home in

but to defend our nato allies event to put in decide to keep moving west. for that 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 our collective house. every single life was clear i. ukrainians are fighting 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 a fight with every inch of earnings they have. they've known 30 years of independence. have repeatedly shown that they will not tolerate anyone who tries to take their country backwards to all americans. i'll be honest with you, as always promised, i would be a russian dictator of fat and invading a foreign country has cost around the world. and i'm taking robust action to make sure the pain of our sanctions is targeted at russian economy. and that we use every tool at our disposal to protect american businesses and consumers. tonight, i can announce the united states has worked with 30 other countries to reduce 60000000 barrels of oil from reserves around the world. america li, data for leasing 30000000 barrels won't continued withdrawal in reserve. and we stand ready to do more if necessary. united with our allies. these steps will

help blunt gas prices here at home. but i 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 is warren crane will have left russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger law. why shouldn't we shouldn't taking? 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 for the people of ukraine. and the

battle between democracy now talkers ish, democracies are rising to the moment and the world is clearly choosing the side of peace and security. this is the real test is going to take time. please continue to draw inspiration from the iron will of ukrainian people to our fellow ukrainian americans. affords 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 should love a freedom. and he will never, never weaken the resolve of the free world. we meet tonight in an american 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 evers to vaccinate the nation and combat coven 19 delivered immediate economic leave to tens of millions of americans. it 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, i gave the people just a little bit of breathing room. unlike the 2 trillion dollar tax cut past in the previous administration, that benefits the top one percent of americans, the american rescue plan, the american rescue plan help working people and left. no we're we're we're pretty job lots of jobs. in fact, our economy created over 6500000 new jobs just last year. more jobs

in one year than ever before in the history of the united states of america. economy grew to read a 5.7 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 in this nation for too long. for the past 4 years, we were told the tax break for those are the top and benefits would trickle down and everyone would know would benefit. but that trickle down theory led to a weaker economic growth. lower wage is bigger deficits in a wide gap between the top and everyone else and then and nearly a century. look why strategy harrison i ran for office and i realize we have fundamental disagreements on this, but ran for officer, the new economic vision for america invested 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 in the middle class grown in the middle class grows the portable way up in 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 in 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 the single biggest investment in houston is of my partners and i for and 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 infrastructure decade. oh, going in for america to put us in the path to win the economic competition, the 21st century. we face for the rest of the world, particularly china. i've told she ging ping, it's never been a good bet, but against the american people we'll create good jobs for millions americans. modernizing roads, airports, ports, waterways all across america. and we'll do it to withstand the devastating infects of climate change and promote environmental justice. will build a national network of 500000 electric vehicle. charging stations began to replace the poisonous lead pipes. so every child, every american has clean water to drink at home. and it's going to provide

600000000 dollars year to keep this country safe and secure. there's been a law on the books for almost a century to make sure tax fairs 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 will 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 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 accident 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 in those factories average job about a 135 dollars 135000 dollars a year. so most sophisticated manufacturing the world to make can push computer ships a size of a finger tip,
