i just look around, you'll see an amazing story, rebirth of pride to come from stamping products made in america. 3 vitamins, asian american manufacturing companies are choosing to go new factories here when just a few years ago, they would have gone overseas. that's what's happening. foreigners investing $11000000000.00 and electric vehicles, crating $11000.00 jobs across the country. jim is making the largest investment in his history. $7000000000.00 to build electric vehicles, credit, $4000.00 jobs and michigan. all told 369000 new manufacturing jobs are created in america last year along. power my people i met like joe joe burgess from generations of union. still workers

in pittsburgh. harrison. i were you joe. joe. there you go. thanks. buddy has ohio. as ohio sen shared room says, share brown says it's time to bury the label. russ bell is time to see the the what used to be call rust belt become the show, the home of a significant resurgence of manufacturing and with all the right spot in our economy. record job growth, higher wages to many families are struggling to keep up with their bills. inflation is robbing them of games they thought otherwise, they would be able to feel. i get it. that's why my top priorities getting prices under control. look,

our economy word back faster than almost anyone predicted. but that pandemic meant that businesses had a hard time hiring of people because of the pandemic to keep up production in our factories. she didn't have people making those beams at when in the buildings because they were out there. factor was closed, the panic also disrupted the global supply chain. factories close. when that happens, it takes longer to make good you and get them to the warehouses to the stores. and go prices go up, look at cars last year. one 3rd of all the inflation was because of automobile sales. there weren't enough semiconductors to make all the cars that people wanted to buy. and guess what? prices automobiles went way up. especially used vehicles as well. what and so we have a choice, one way to fight inflation is a drive down wages and make america's poor. i think i have a better idea to fight inflation, lower cost natur wages so

that means make more cars and semiconductors in america. more infrastructure and innovation in america. more goods moving faster and cheaper in america. more jobs were, you know, in a good living in america, instead of a line on foreign supply chain, let's make it in america. for this, increasing the productive capacity of our company or our economy. i call it building

a better america. my plan to fight inflation will lower your cost to lower the deficit. 17 nobel laureates and economics said my plan will ease long term inflationary pressures. top business leaders and i believe most americans support to plan. and here's the plan. first, cut the cost of prescription drugs we pay more for the same news by the same company than any other country in the world. just look at insulin, one in 10 americans as diabetes in virginia, i met a 13 year old boy, the handsome young man standing up there. joshua day he's dead won't have type one diabetes. which means they need it every single day.

is gonna cost about $10.00 of vile to make that's what of course the, the pharmaceutical company. but drug companies charged families like josh won his dad to 30 times that amount. i spoke to josh was mom. imagine what it's like to look at your child who needs insulin to stay healthy and have no idea how on god's name you're going to be able to pay for what it does, your family. but what it does to your dignity, your ability look your child on the i to be the parent you expect yourself to be. i really mean to think about that. that's what i think about. you know, yesterday josh is here to night. yesterday was his birthday. happy birthday buddy, by the way, oh, for joshua and 200000 other young people with type one diabetes. lets cap the cost of insulin. $35.00

a month. so everyone can afford it. companies will do very, very well, their profit margin more at it. i know we have great disagreements on this laura, this lets but medicare negotiate the price of prescription. john lee said the price to re jones look to american rescue plan is helping millions of families with affordable care act plans to save them $2400.00 a year on their health for premiums. let's close the coverage gap and make the savings permanent. the 2nd let's good energy cost for families, an average of 500 dollars year by combating climate change to let, provide an investment tax credits to whether i your home and your business. to be

energy efficient and get a tax credit for it. double americas clean energy production in solar wind and so much more lower the price of electric vehicle saving another $80.00 a month that you're not going to have to pay at the pump. 3rd, the 3rd thing we can do to change this to living for hardworking folks is cut the cost of child care. at the coffee shop. if you live in a major city in america, if you pay up to 14000 dollars year for child care per child, i was a single dad for 5 years. raising 2 kids had a lot of help though. had a mom and dad, a brother and sisters that really help,

but no fast working folks shouldn't have to pay more than 7 percent of her income to care for the young children. my plan. my plan would cut the cost for most families and help parents, including millions of women who left the workforce during the pandemic because they couldn't afford child care to be able to get back to work generating economic growth. but my plan doesn't stop there. it also includes home and long term care, more affordable housing, pre k for 3 and 4 year old. all these will lower cost of them under my plan, nobody me say this again. nobody earning less than 400000 dollar year will pay an additional penny in new taxes. not a single penny. i

may be wrong. my guess is if we took a secret ballot in his floor that we'd all agree that the present tax system a fair we have to fix it. i'm not looking to punish anybody. let's make corporations the wealthy american start paying their fair share. last year. last year my chris jones and tom carper and my distinguished congresswoman. we come from the land of corporate america or more corporations, incorporated, american and every other state and america combine. i still won 36 years in a row. the point is, even they understand should pay just a fair share. last year, 55 of the fortune $500.00 companies earned $40000000000.00 in profit and paid

0 in federal taxes. hello. it's not fair. that's why i propose the 50 percent minimum tax rate for corporations region and that's why in the g 7 other meetings overseas were able to put together, i was able to be somewhat helpful. a $130.00 countries degree on a global minimum tax rate. so companies can't get out of paying their taxes at home by shipping jobs in factories overseas and raise billions of dollars. that's why i propose close loopholes for the very wealthy. you don't pay out of pay a lower tax rate than a teacher and a firefighter. so that's my plan, but we have to go more detail later. i'm going to grow, we will grow the economy, lower the cost of families. so what are we waiting for? let's get this done. we all know we've got to make change.

and confirm are nominated for the federal reserve which plays a critical role in fighting inflation. my plan will not lower cost and give families a fair shot. it will lower the deficit the previous ministration, only balloon the deficit with those tax cuts for the very wealthy corporations. it undermined the watchdogs, the job. those to keep pandemic relief funds been waste. remember we had those debates, but whether or not those watchdog should be able to see every day how much money is being spent were, was it going to the right place, kind of my ministration watchdogs are back and we're going to go after the criminals historic billions of relief, money, men for small business and millions of americans of the night. i'm announcing that the justice farm will soon name a cheap prosecutor for pandemic fraud. look

we all very thinking by the end of this year, the depth will be down to less than half of what it was before i took office. the only president ever to cut the deficit by more than one trillion dollars in a single year. lauren, your cost also meant demanding more competition. i'm a capitalist, but capitalism without competition is not capitalism. capitalism, without competition is exploitation. the drives up profit in corporations that to compete their profits go up and your prices go up when they don't have to compete. small businesses and family farmers and ranchers, i need not tell some of my republican friends in those states. guess what? you got for basic meat packing facilities. that's it. you play with them,

you don't get to play at all. and you pay a hell of a lot more, a hell of a lot more joy for she, what's happening with ocean carriers and moving goods in and out. america. during the pandemic of half a dozen less foreign owned companies raised prices by as much as 1000 percent and made record profits. tonight, i'm marching a cracked on those companies overcharging american businesses and consumers. hopes is wall street firms take over more nursing homes. quality in those homes has gone down and caused have gone up that engine my watch. medicare is going to set higher standards for nursing homes and make sure love ones get the care they

deserve and that they inspect and they were looked at closely. we're also going to cut cost to keep the economy going strong and give me workers a fair shot. provide more training and apprenticeships hire them based on skills. not just or degrees. was passed the paycheck fairness act and pay the raise the minimum wage, the $15.00 an hour expenditure tax credit. so no one has to raise the family and poverty does increase. tell grants, increase our storage support for h. b. c. use and invest what jill. our 1st lady who teaches full time calls america's best kept secret community colleges. look was fast surprised when a majority of workers want to form a union, a shouldn't be able to stop. when we invest in our workers, we build an economy from the bottom up in the middle out together. we can do something, we haven't done a long time, build

a better america for more than 2 years covered has impacted every decision in our lives and the life of the station. and i know you're tired, frustrated and exhausted. that doesn't even count the close to 1000000 people who sit as a dining room table or kitchen table and look at an empty chair because i lost somebody. but i also know this because of the progress we've made because of your resilience and the tools that we have been provided by this congress. tonight, i can say we're moving forward safely back to a no norm, more normal routines. we've reached a new moment in the fight against coven 19, where severe cases are down or level not seen since july of last year. just a few days ago in the center for disease control and prevention issued a new mass guidelines are no guidelines. most americans and most of the country can

now go mass cree and based on projections. based on projections, more of the country will reach a point across that point across the next couple of weeks. and thanks to the progress we've made in the past year coven, 1000 no longer need control our lives. i know some are talking about living with coven 90. but to night i say that we never will just accept living with coven 90. will continue to combat the virus as we do other diseases. and because this virus mutates and spreads, we have to stay on guard. here are for common sense steps as we move forward safely in my view. first state protected with vaccines and treatments. we now are incredibly effective vaccines are if you're vaccinated and boosted, you have the highest degree of protection will never give up and vaccinate more americans. now, i know parents have kids under 5 are eager to see their vaccines authorized for

their children. scientists are working hard to get that done, will be ready with plenty of vaccines if and when they do. we're all ready. we are also ready with and i viral treatments. if you get coven 19, the pfizer pill reduces your chances, venting up in the hospital by 90 percent. i've ordered more pills than anyone in the world has. pfizer is working overtime to get us a 1000000 tools this month. and more than double that next month. and now are launching the test to treat initiative. so people can get tested at a pharmacy and if they prove positive, received the anti virus pills on the spot at no cost this year in you know, compromise or have some other mobility. we have treatments and free high quality

mass, relieving no behind or ignoring anyone's needs. as we move forward on testing, we've made hundreds of millions of test available, and you can order them for free to your doorstep. and we've already ordered free test, jordy ordered free tests to night. i'm announcing you can order another group of test covered. go to coven test, dot gov starting next week, and you can get more test. second, we must prepare for new variance. over the past, we've got much better detected new variance if necessary, will be able to develop new vaccines than a 100 days. instead of maybe months or years. and of congress presides the funds we need. we'll have new stockpiles of test mass pills ready if needed. i can't promise no very, it won't come, but i can't, i can't promise you. we'll do everything within our power to be ready if it does, for you know,

to shut down and schools and businesses. we're the tools we need this time from erica to get back to work and fill are great downtowns again with people people working from home can feel safe and begin to return to their offices. we're doing that here in the federal government. the vast majority of federal workers will once again work in person, our schools are open. let's keep it that way. our kids need to be in school in $75.00 and sell them about 75 percent of adult americans believe vaccinated and hospitalizations down by 77 percent. most americans can remove their mass and stay in the classroom and move forward safely. we achieve this because we provided free

vaccines, treatment tests and mass. of course, continuing this cost money will not surprise you will be back to seal embry. i'm going to send a request to congress. the vast majority of americans had used these tools. my want again. we may need them again, so i expect congress, i hope you'll pass that quickly forth. we'll continue vaccinating the world. we sent 475000000 vaccine doses to a 112 countries. more than any nation on earth. we will start with, you can't build a wall high enough to keep out in a vaccine. the vaccine can stop the spread of these diseases. you know, we've lost so much coven 90 time with one another. the worst of all, much loss of life. but use this moment to reset,

stop looking at covert as a partisan dividing line. see it for what it is. a god awful disease, but stopped suddenly seen each other's enemies starts each other for who we are. fellow americans. look we we can change our divide it, we've been a long time in coming. we can change how to move forward and cove at 19 and other issues that we must face together. i recently visited new york city police department days after the funerals officer wilber mora and his partner officer jason rivera. they're responding to a 911 call when a man shot and killed them with

a stolen gun. officer moore was 27 years old officer very was 22 years old, both dominican americans who grew up in the same street that they later chose to parole. a 2 patrol as police officers. i spoke of their families. i told them when they were forever and dead for their sacrifices and will carry on their mission to restore the trust and safety of every community deserves. like some of you them around for a while. i've worked with you on these issues for a long time. i know what works investigating crime prevention and community policing cops who walk to beat who know the neighborhood and who can restore trust and safety must not have been in our streets or choose between safety and equal justice. let's come together and protect our communities, restore trust, and whole long foresman accountable. that's why the justice department, as required body cameras, banjo kohls, and restricted known ox,

warren's 1st officers. that's why the american rescue plan that you all provided $350000000000.00. that cities states and counties can use to hire more police invest in more proven strategy like food and that is my community violence interruption. trusted messengers breaking the cycle of violence and trauma. giving young people some hope we should all agree. the answer is not to define the police, is to fund the police one with resources in training resources in training,

you need to protect your community. i asked democrats and republicans alike to pass my budget and keep our neighborhood safe. and we'll do everything in my power to crack down on gun trafficking of ghost guns that you could buy and line assemble at home. no, cheryl numbers can't be traced. i asked congress to pass proven measures to reduce gun violence, pass universal background checks. why should anyone on the terrorist list be able to purchase a weapon? why? why? then saw what was that high capacity made use all the 100 rooms you think the dear were kevlar vest. book repeal the liability shield makes gun manufacturers the only industry in america that can't be seen. the only one imagine had we done that

with the tobacco manufacturers. these laws don't infringe on the 2nd amendment. they save lives. most fundamental right in america is the right to vote and have a county. and look, it's under a saw in state after state new laws in the past. no is the 1st of all we've been there before to subvert the entire election. it does happen tonight, i call in the senate to pass past the freedom to vote. act passed a john lewis. i'm going right. well you read it, pass it a. so jack is no funding or election tonight. i like to honor someone dedicated his life to serve his country. justice briar, an army veteran constitutional scholar returned justice united states supreme court . justice brier,

thank you for your service. i mean no, no matter what your ideal. no. one of the most serious constitution responsibility of president has, is nominate someone to serve on the united states supreme court. as i did 4 days ago, i've nominated a circuit court of appeals, kangi, brown, jackson, one of our nation's copies of mine who continued just broad this rise legacy vaccine, former top litigator and private practice. a former federal public defender from a family of public school educators and police officers. she's

a consensus builder said she's been nominated. she's received a broad range of support, including the fraternal order of police and former judges, supported by democrats and republicans. folks, if we're either advanced liberty in justice, we need to secure our border and fix the immigration system. and you my guess, i think we can do both at our border. we've install new technology like cutting edge scanners to better detect drug smuggling. we've set up joint patrols and mexico and guatemala and catch more human traffickers. we're putting in place dedicated to recreation judges and significant larger number. so families,

free persecution violence can have her cursors cases hurt faster. and those who don't legitimately hear can be sent back for screening for securing commitments and supporting partners in south and central america to host more refugees insecure their own borders. we can do all this while keeping, let the torch of liberty whose lead a generation of immigrants to this land. my 4 bears and many of yours provide a pathway to citizen for dreamers. those are separate status farm worker with central work. along with families don't weigh decades or you know, it's not only the right thing to do a check and i'm a very smart thing to do. that's why the immigration reform is supported by everyone from labor unions, the religious leaders to the us chamber of commerce. let's get it done once and for all

the memory and justice also requires protecting the rights of women conscious, right? a firm by roby wage. danny president, for half a century is under attack as never before. if you want to go forward not backwards, you must protect access to of care, preserve a woman's rights to choose, and continued a vast maternal health care for all american ford o g, b, g, q plus americans. let's finally get the bipartisan equality act to my desk. the onslaught of state laws targeting transgender americans in our family is simply wrong. and i said last year, especially to our younger transgender americans, always have your back as your president. so you can be yourself and reach your god, given potential

as i just demonstrated, often appears we do not agree and that we are, we do agree in a lot more things and we acknowledge i signed 80 by parson bills in all last year from preventing government shut down, protecting asian americans from still to common, hate crimes, to reform military justice and will, shall be strengthened, advised against women act that i 1st wrote 3 decades ago. it's important. it's important for us to show, show the nation come together new big thing. tonight i'm offering a unity agenda for the nation for big things we can do together in my view. first, bt opioid epidemic. so my.
