about the bipartisan debt limit bill approved last night. larry: hard-fought budget negotiations between the house, the white house and republicans. the deal came with much friction, but it was ultimately resolved. let's get to abc news and david muir with the update. david: this is an abc news special report. mary: good evening. i president biden is about to address the american people on the bipartisan bill passed to suspend the debt and pay off the would have been an economic disaster. this will be his first address from the oval office, the president speaking less than 24 hours after the senate voted to pass the bill, ending a bitter standoff between the white house and republicans that kept the country on edge for weeks.

the president tonight will touts this as a bipartisan victory for the american people, but he will also note that neither side got every thing they wanted. the deal facing pushback from the far right and left. moderates in both parties coming together to get it done. the bill cuts the deficit by 1.5 trillion dollars over 10 years and suspends the debt limit for the next two years until after the next presidential election. it caused back billions in unspent covert funds and imposes new work requirements for some americans relied on food assistance programs -- relying on food assistance programs, and it will end the pause on repaying student loans. conservatives are furious with kevin mccarthy, saying the cuts he agreed to not go far enough and progressive democrats are upset, too, saying the cut to those with food assistance went too far are upset, too, saying the cut to those with food assistance went too far. let's listen now to president biden in the oval office. president biden: my fellow

americans, when i ran for president, i was told that days of bipartisanship were over, that democrats and republicans could no longer work together. i refused to believe that because america can never get into that way of thinking. if the only american democracy can function is to compromise and consensus, and that is what i work to do as your president. and now to forge a bipartisan agreement when possible, and i have signed more than hundred 50 i partisan lost the spark the last 2.5 years, including a historic one that rebuilds america so we can rank number one of the world and infrastructure instead of where we are going to now, number 13. another historic law, rebuilding our manufacturing base so we will lead the world once again in making semiconductor tips and so many more and sophisticated ones. now, a bipartisan budget agreement. this is vital because it is

essential to the progress we made over the last few years and keeping full faith and credit of the united states of america and passing a budget that continues to grow our economy and reflect our values as a nation. that is why i am speaking tonight, to report on the crisis averted and what we are doing to protect america's future. passing this budget agreement was critical. the stakes could not have been higher. if we had failed to reach an agreement on the budget, there were extreme voices threatening to take america for the first time in our 247 year history into default on our national debt. nothing would have been more responsible. nothing would have been more catastrophic. our economy would have been thrown into recession, retirement accounts for millions of americans would have been decimated. 8 million americans would have lost their jobs. default would have destroyed our nation's credit rating, which

would have made everything from mortgages to car loans to funding for the government much more expensive. it would take years to climb out of that hole. america is the most trusted financial partner in the world and that would have been shattered. it was critical to reach an agreement, and it is good news for the american people. no one got everything they wanted, but the american people got what they needed. we averted an economic crisis, economic collapse, we are cutting spending and bringing the deficits down at the same time. we are protecting important priorities from social security to medicare to medicaid to veterans, to transformational investments in infrastructure and clean energy. i want to commend speaker mccarthy. he and i and our teams were able to get along, get be respectful with one another.

both sides operated in good faith. both sides kept their word. i also want to commend other congressional leaders, house minority leader jeffries, senate majority leader schumer, senate minority leader mcconnell. they acted responsibly and put the good of the country ahead of politics. the final vote in both chambers was overwhelming. far more partisan than anyone thought possible, so, i want to thank the members of the congress who voted to pass the agreement, which i am going to sign tomorrow to become law. here is what the deal does. first, it cuts spending. in the next 10 years, the deficit will be cut by more than $1 trillion. that will be on top of the record $1.7 trillion i already cut the deficit in my first two years in office. we are all on a much more fiscally responsible course than the one i inherited when i took

office four years ago, when i came to office, the deficit increased every year, and nearly a trillion dollars was added in the last administration, and now we are turning things around. that is good for america. my dad used to have an expression, do not tell me what you value, show me your budget and i will tell you what you value. this set the heart of the debate, what do we value? protecting seniors. you may remember during my state of the union address, there was a spirited exchange between me and a few republicans spontaneously occurring on the house of representatives. i was pointing out that for years, some were putting forward proposals to cut social security and medicare, and some of them that night took exception when i said loudly that that was not true. so i asked them on the floor that night, i said, ask them a simple question, will you agree not to cut social security and

medicare? would they agree to protect these essential programs and programs that these americans have been paying into every single paycheck they have earned since they started working and it provides so much peace of mind? with bright lights and cameras on, those few republicans who were protesting, they agreed. they said they would not cut it. that is how we protected social security and medicare from the beginning and from it being cut, period. health care was another priority, a top priority. i made it clear from the outset that i would not agree to any cuts in medicaid, another essential lifeline for millions of americans, including children in poverty, the elderly in nursing homes, and americans living with disabilities. the original house or publican proposal would have cut health care for up to 21 million americans on medicaid. i said no. medicare is protected, and so are millions of people most in

need. look, i have long believed that the only one truly sacred obligation that the government has is to prepare those we send into harm's way and care for them and their families when they come home. and when they don't come home. that is why my last budget provided v.a. hospitals with an additional funding for more doctors, nurses, and equipment, to accommodate the needs of veterans and more appointments. house republican plan would have meant 30 fewer million v.a. health care visits for veterans. we do not let that happen. in addition, this bill fully funds the bipartisan packed act, the most significant loan in decades for those exposed to toxic burn pits and for their families. it expands access to those veterans and their families to health care and to disability benefits. look, we are investing in america, our people, and our

future. we have created over 13 million new jobs, nearly 800,000 manufacturing jobs. where is it written that america cannot leave the world in a manufacturing? unemployment is at 3.7%. more americans are wor than ever in history of this country and inflation has dropped 10 straight months in a row. in this debate, i refuse to put what was responsible for this economic progress on the chopping block. this bipartisan agreement protects the law and will help us build the best infrastructure in the world. it fully protects the chips and science act, which will bring key parts of our supply chain to america so we don't have to rely on others, like semiconductors, those tiny computer chips smaller than the tip of your finger, that affect nearly everything you rely on from cell phones to building automobiles to the most sophisticated weapon systems and more.

we protected another law i passed and signed last year, and finally to be to big pharma, which i have been trying to do for over 30 years. it finally gives medicare the power to negotiate lower drug prices, just like the v.a. has been able to do for veterans. this law has already dramatically cut the cost of insulin for seniors, from as much as $400 a month to $35 a month. negotiating lower drug prices not only save seniors a lot of money, it saves the country a lot of money. $106 billion is not having to paid out because drug prices are more rational. we pay the highest of any industrial nation in the world and it is just the beginning. we also protected the most significant breakthrough ever, ever, in dealing with the existential threat of climate change. today, with new wind and solar power, it is cheaper than fossil fuel.

since i have been in office, clean energy and advanced manufacturing have brought in $470 billion in private investments that will create thousands of jobs, good paying jobs all across this country and help the environment at the same time. remember, at the beginning of the debate, some of our republican colleagues were determined to get clean energy investments. -- gut clean energy investments. i said no, there are so much more to do. we are going to do even more to reduce the deficit and we need to control spending if we are going to do that. we also have to raise revenue and go after tax cheats and make sure everybody pays their fair share. i promise nobody making less than $400,000 a year will pay a penny more in federal taxes, but like us to view at home, i know the federal tax system is not fair. that is why i kept my commitment

that no one earning less than $400,000 a year will pay a penny more in federal taxes. that is my last year, i secured more funding, took up more irs funding to go after wealthy tax cheats. the nonpartisan c budget office, and it is nonpartisan, says the bill will bring in $150 billion and other outside experts expect it to save as much as $400 billion because it is forcing people to pay their fair share. republicans may not like it, but i am going to make sure the wealthy pay their fair share. i also propose enclosing over a dozen special-interest tax loopholes for big oil, crypto traders, hedge fund billionaires , saving taxpayers billions of dollars. republicans defended every single one of these special interest loopholes, every single one. but i am going to be coming back, and with your help, i am going to win.

right now, catch this, right now, the average billionaire in america pays just 8% in federal taxes. 8%. teachers and firefighters pay more than that. that is why i proposed a minimum tax and republicans are against it, but i am going to keep fighting for it. no billionaire should pay less in taxes than a teacher or firefighter. look, let me close with this. i know bipartisanship is hard. and unity is hard. but we can never stop trying. because of moments like this one, the ones we just based, where the american economy and the world economy is at risk of collapsing, there is no other way, no matter how tough our politics get to, we need to see each other not as adversaries but fellow americans, treat each other with dignity and respect to join forces and for americans to stop shouting, lower the temperature, and work together to pursue progress, secure

prosperity, and keep the promise of america for everybody. as i said in my inaugural address, without unity, there is no peace, only bitterness and fury. we can never become that country. i can honestly say -- i can honestly say to you tonight that i have never been more optimistic about america's future. we just need to remember who we are. we are the united states of america. and there is nothing, nothing we cannot do when we do it together. thank you all for listening and taking the time tonight to listen to me. may god bless you all and may god protect our troops. 21. -- thank you. mary: there you have it, president biden eager to get the final word in on the debate, the president touting this bipartisan bill, emphasizing the critical need for cooperation across the aisle, saying the

only way democracy can function is by working together. the president declaring the stakes could not have been higher, saying a failure would have been catastrophic to the economy, throwing it into recession and risking millions of lives. while he did praise the republican speaker, the kind of outreach we don't see in washington, he made wins, environment. biden tried to make the case to voters that he can succeed in reaching across the aisle and scoring wins for his party. i want to bring in rachel scott at the white house tonight. you have been following every twist and turn of this fight. the president tonight clearly touting his role here but speaker mccarthy is also trying to claim victory, even though the bill in the house received more support from democrats and republicans. rachel: exactly. even as president biden praised democrats and republicans, he also acknowledged the reality that bipartisanship is hard.

in fact, more democrats supported this debt limit deal than republicans, even though this bill was negotiated by speaker mccarthy and even though republicans have a razor thin majority in the house.in , 107 republican members voted against the deal in congress. neither side got everything they wanted. the president did not even want to negotiate around it debt limit deal at all, but, tonight, president biden and speaker mccarthy prays this -- praised this as a victory for the country and not a specific party because it could have been catastrophic. mary: this bill means we will not see another fight like this until over the debt limit and after the next presidential election. but there is another big spending fight a few months away. rachel: the next political fight is around the corner.it will start heating up in september when congress has to fund the government. in these bitterly divided times, each party is using must do items in congress as a way to try to score political wins.

as for the debt limit, that will not happen until after the next presidential election. mary: that put off for another two years, but it does not mean we are out of the woods on these kinds of fights. thank you. our coverage continues on abc news live and abcnews.com. we now return you to your regular programming, for some, that is world news tonight with david muir. >> this has been a special report from abc news. larry: welcome back to abc 7 news at 4:00. i am larry beil along with all the dates, you have been watching and abc news special report with president biden in about a 15 minute address, addressing the nation about the debt ceiling bill he will sign over the weekend. ama: and how vital it was that this got done. jackie speier is now joining us. thank you for being here. the president said everyone worked together, but we did not get everything that each party wanted. can you walk us through how

difficult it is and what it is like to get a compromise like this done? jackie: it is difficult in part because, you know, it is the debt limit. it is not just united states but the entire globe that is impacted by it. what the republicans did and give kevin mccarthy credit, they used the leverage they had to get some benefits from it when they could have just been willing to pass limit, which the democrats did twice during donald trump's presidency. we avoided $130 billion in cuts, we protected medicare, medicaid, social security. both could really speak to a win. speaker mccarthy said it was fabulous, and then we just heard president speak about all that was saved in this deal, and how in the end, we are going to see a reduction in the great big debt that we have. it is $31 trillion, you will

$1 trillion reduced as result of the negotiations and i think is a win-win. frankly, that is what we should see more of coming out of congress. larry: you mentioned major accomplishments, in addition to work requirements expanding for some receiving food stamps, funding for the irs were cut, big issues for republicans. do you perceive this as a watershed moment in mr. biden's presidency, given the acrimony we have seen in the past between the two parties? what does this do for him politically moving forward? jackie: he has done a lot through his presidency, but most people do not recognize it, so he has got a problem with messaging. i think people understand that the debt limit was serious and the fact that we are able to lift the ceiling now is going to

show that as a leader, as an negotiator, as someone who can forge a bipartisan agreement, that that is a win. what we do have is that $10 billion that was taken out of the irs is going to be redistributed to non-defense programs, so that is actually a benefit of sorts. we already have requirements fo those between 16 and to get food stamps, that they have to meet some requirements. we are extending it for single body, single, able-bodied persons without dependents and that to me is not a problem either. i think that is actually where the of our review, and we actually expanded the program for homeless people and for veterans and for those who are aging out of the foster care program. again, a win-win as i see it. ama: for those who are not

getting government assistance or a government check, how does this affect them? jackie: as it affects those who are not getting any kind of government checks, no social security benefits, no medicare, no snap, no housing vouchers, i think what you can say is from the perspective of a taxpayer, you are now going to have tax advocates who are going to be deployed on phones around the country through the $80 billion, in addition to auditing provisions, you are actually going to get a live person when you need any assistance with your tax returns. and then, i think for everyone else, we are going to still see the infrastructure bill intact. that means there is going to be one million new jobs created over the next 10 years. that was on the chopping block a couple of weeks ago. again, the chips program, another big way and that was saved as a result of this ticket -- another big win saved as a

result of the negotiation, so more jobs will be created that were actually approved last year that were on the chopping block just over the course of the last few weeks. larry: i think a relief for everybody as we will not have to hear about this for another two years. it is pushed past the next presidential election, so it will be a while. this has been set aside and the bill will be signed and we move forward from there. ama: jackie, thank you. jackie: good to be with you. larry:

and because he had mental health issues, so it just should not have happened. dustin: heartbreaking for city council members who represent the districts where the crimes occurred. they mourned the loss of the victims and hope changes can be made to prevent other tragedies in the future. >> it is a horrible tragedy that we have not really experienced in the city of san jose like this. this is awful. >> i know we cannot bring back the victims, but i hope justice is served for them. dustin: once again, the names of the three victims have not been released, but we want to send out our heartfelt prayers to all families involved in these terrible events. dustin dorsey, abc 7 news. ama: thank you. bart's new plan to help improve safety on extremes. larry: and a room with a view, the oject 13 yea in the making, right across san francisco's mccovey cove.

ama: the san mateo county fair gets underway tomorrow. organizers say it is a little bit of everything for everybody. from livestock to special events, family pride day is this sunday and pacific islands day is saturday. the fair runs through june 11. larry: we are sharing your stories and today we are introducing you to a man whose work you have probably seen around the bay area. we are talking about the artist behind berkeley's signs and will hear how he painted his way across the u.s.. historic representation of signs

beyond just the superficial. ♪ themselves. gold, would, a story. people believing in me to do something is very inspiring. ♪ sign artist. i have been making signs in the bay area for 40 years. i am a sign maker who does paint and a wide variety of techniques that are available to sign makers. i have had the company berkeley signs for 30 years. in high school days i would draw cartoons off of the newspaper and i would use a xerox machine and copy them. i was so good at that that my dad who had a real estate company who needed these cheap
