>> good evening and thanks for joining us for kron. 4 news at 6 o'clock. i'm ken wayne and i'm pam moore. we are just moments away from president joe biden's first state of the union address. initially tonight's speech was going to highlight the improvin outlook on the coronavirus. it was going to rebrand biden's domestic policy priorities as a way to try and lower costs for families grappling with soaring inflation but of course, a lot has changed in the last few days. the speech is taking on new significance with the last week's invasion by russia of ukraine. >> let's take you live now inside the house chamber in washington, dc you can see nancy pelosi up there on the right. kamala harris, the vice president on the left both standing by. we're moments away from the arrival of the president, the supreme court justices have been ushered in

as well as members of the president's cabinet today are all taking their seats and members from both senate and the house are together in the house chambers waiting for the speech to start. senator ted cruz said lindsey graham among those standing by waiting to hear more. of course, this is a national speech, but this time it has worldwide implications like it hasn't had in many, many years. you're looking at some numbers now. the >> supreme court, the supreme court justices, of course, there will be an opening when justice breyer steps down the nominee, we're told, will also be at the state of the union address today. the first black woman to be nominated such a position. many historic things to deal with in this speech tonight. but mostly it will be dominated. we expect by the russian invasion of ukraine. we're expecting the president to have rather a stern remarks regarding russia in particular regarding vladimir putin. the russian president. >> about the russian invasion of ukraine. that is still ongoing as we speak, which is going to be a.

>> it's almost kind of a split screen moment in world news as we watch the president speaking, the u.s. ambassador or the u.s. ambassador. for ukraine, the ukrainian ambassador for the that is states is a guest at tonight's state of the union speech. and while this speech will be taking place, of course, the fighting continues as russian forces prepared to invade the capital of ukraine. kiev with a large force gathered just outside the city. >> many people will be anxious to see how president biden is able to frame the entire crisis involving ukraine. his leadership leading up to the actual question invasion, his efforts to try and pull russian that from the. red line, i guess we could say of actually beginning of this entire incident and whether he'll be able to present himself as a tough leader in charge of everything or you'll find that delicate balance had also says, you know, we need sacrifices in among our

american citizens in order to make sure that this happened. yeah. and one of the sacrifices americans are going through right now is inflation and the cost of fuel and of course, has been exacerbated by the situation. >> in ukraine, we've oil prices jump up 200 bucks a barrel. we see gas prices here in the bay area. $5 a gallon is common even higher than that. of course, people across the country paying more or less than we are. but for them, the highest prices they've seen in years. yeah. not only inflation dealing with gasoline prices, but >> other family table top issues. you know how much groceries cost to now, how casa do just about everything because it was happening not only with the problems associated with the supply chain issues, but now with this war, the mid term elections have to be in the back of his mind as he makes this presentation. his poll numbers are poor. he's not doing well in the polls and all of that plays into the state of the union. any major address by the president of the united states. but

certainly under these circumstances, a very crucial time for joe biden won silver lining in all of this for the president. if you look out across the people gathered in the house chamber, go notice set very few. if any are wearing masks. and this is the first time. >> in 2 years that we've seen people go maskless inside the capitol building, especially for major event like this. let's hear the announcements as another group of distinguished visitors arrive. the congress.

>> i have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you. the president of the united states.

>> madam speaker. madam vice president and our first lady and second gentleman. members of congress in the cabinet. justice of the supreme court. my fellow americans. last year

covid-19 kept us apart. this year. we're finally together again. >> might we me? >> as democrats, republicans, independents, but most importantly, as americans. with the duty to one another to america. american people to the constitution. and an unwavering resolve. that freedom will always triumph over tyranny. 6 days ago. russia's vladimir putin sought to shake the very foundations of the free world.

>> thank you to get make it. ben to his menacing ways. but a badly miscalculated. he thought he could roll in ukraine and the world would roll over. >> instead he met with them all wall of strength. he never anticipated or imagined he met ukrainian people. every ukrainian, their fearlessness, their courage and determination literally inspires the world. groups of citizens blocking tanks with their bodies. everyone from students to retirees to teachers turn soldiers defending their homeland. and this struggle, president zelinsky said in a speech to the european parliament. light will win over darkness.

ukraine ambassador united states is here tonight sitting with the first lady. let each of us if you're able to stand stand and send an unmistakable signal to the wall. and states of america stand with the ukrainian people. throughout our history. we've learned this lesson dictators do not pay a price for their

aggression. they cause more chaos. they keep moving and the cost threats america and america to the world keeps rising. that's why the nato alliance was created to secure peace and stability in europe after world war. 2. the united states is a member along with 29 other nations. it matters. american diplomacy matters. american resolve matters. latest attack on ukraine was premeditated and totally unprovoked. he rejected repeated repeated efforts at diplomacy. he thought the west and nato wouldn't respond. he thought he could divide us at home in this chamber in this nation. he thought he could divide us and europe as well. but putin was wrong. we are ready. we are united. and that's what we did. we stayed united. >> we prepared extensively in

carefully. >> we spent months building coalitions, weather free to 11 nations in europe and the americas. chip for america to the asian and african continent's. to confront putin. like many of you. i spent countless hours unifying your european allies. we shared with the world and vantage. we knew putin was planning and precisely how we would try to falsify and justify his aggression. we counted russia's lies with the truth. and now now he's acted. the 3 will free world is holding him accountable. along with 27 members of the european union, including france, germany, italy, as well as countries like the united kingdom, canada, japan, korea, australia, new zealand and many others, even switzerland. are inflicting pain on russia and supporting the people of ukraine. putin is now isolated from world more that he's ever been. together. i's, we're right now

enforcing powerful economic sanctions. we're cutting off russia's largest banks, a new national financial system for any russia's central bank from defending the russian rubble making food and 630 billion dollar war fun, for choking russia's accent. >> rush is access to technology that will sap its economic strength, then weakened its military for years to come. >> i say to the russian oligarchy, necropsy leaders who built and billions of dollars off this violent regime. no more. just the

dedicated task force to go after the crimes of the russian oligarchs. we're joining with european allies to find and seize their yachts luxury apartments. their private jet. he'll be gotten gains. and tonight i'm announcing that we will join our allies in closing off american airspace to all russian flights. he lost 30% of its value. the russian stock market has lost 40% of its value and trading remains suspended. the russian economy is really and putting a loan. he's the one to blame.

together with our allies. we're providing support to ukrainians in their fight for freedom. military assistance, economic assistance, humanitarian assistance. we're getting more than a billion dollars in direct assistance ukraine and will continue to a ukrainian people as they defend their country and help ease their suffering. our forces are not. engaged and will not engage in the conflict with russian forces in ukraine. our forces not going to europe to fight ukraine but to defend our nato allies putin decides to keep moving west. for that purpose. we have mobilized american ground forces air squadrons ship deployments to protect nato countries, including poland, romania, latvia,

lithuania, estonia. and as i've made crystal clear, the united states and our allies will defend every inch of territory. that is nato territory for the fall. ukrainians are fighting back with your courage. but the next few days, weeks and months will be them. putin is only is the violence and chaos. but while he may make gains on the battlefield, he'll pay continuing high price over the long run. ukrainian people proud, proud people pound for pound, ready a fight with every inch of earnings and they have. they've known 30 years of independence. have repeatedly shown that they will not yolerate anyone who tries to take the country backwards to

all americans. i'll be honest with you. as always promised, i would be. a russian dictator effect and invading a foreign country has cost around the world. i'm taking robust action to make sure the pain of our sanctions target russian economy. and that we use every tool at our disposal to protect american businesses and consumers. tonight, i can announce united states has worked with 30 other countries to release 60 million barrels of oil from reserves around the world. >> we do 30 million pounds in the 2 but only 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. 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. were in ukraine, will of left fresher weaker and the rest of the world stronger. shouldn't taking something so terrible for people around the world to see what's at stake. now, everyone sees it clearly. 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. in the battle between democracy and autocracy. democracies are rising to the moment and the world is clearly choosing the side of peace and security. this is the real test. it's going to take time. so let's continue

to draw inspiration from the iron will of the ukrainian people. to our fellow ukrainian-americans who forged a deep bond that connects our 2 nations. we stand with you. we stand with you. a circle, kiev, with tanks, but on never gain the hearts and souls of the iranian people. he'll never will never stay. we sure love of freedom. >> and he will never never weawen the resolve. the free world. and in america's lived through 2 of the hardest years, this nation has ever faced. the pandemic has been punished. 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 with the price of food going up. it was felt throughout the family. it had an impact. that's one of the first things i did as president was fight to pass the american rescue plan because people were hurt ii. we needed to act and we did. a few pieces of legislation of dunmore at a critical moment our history to lift us out of a crisis that shoulder efforts to vaccinate the nation and combat covid-19. delivered immediate economic relief to 10's of millions of americans and help put food on the table. remember those long lines of cars waiting for hours just to get a box of food put in the trunk. it cut the cost of health care insurance. and as my dad used to say, cave, the people just a little bit of breathing room. unlike the 2 trillion

dollar tax cut passed 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 one. we created jobs watching jobs. in fact, our economy created over 6 0.5 million new jobs just last year. the rate of 5.7 last year, the strongest

growth rate in 40 years in the first step in bringing fundamental change our economy. it has to work for working people in this nation for too long. for the past 40 years, we were told the tax break to those are the top and benefits would trickle down and everyone will know i would benefit. but the trickle down theory lead to a weaker economic growth, lower wages, bigger deficits in a widening gap between the top and everyone else. and then a nearly a century. vice president harris and i ran for office and i realize we have fundamental disagreements on this but ran for office with a new economic vision for america. invest in america, educate americans grow the workforce, billy economy from the bottom up in the middle out, not from the top down because we know.

>> when the middle class grows, the portable way up on the wealthy, do very well. >> america used to have the best roads, bridges and airports on earth. >> and now. >> our infrastructure is ranked 13th in the world. won't be able to compete for the jobs of the 21st century. if we don't fix it. that's why was so important to pass the bipartisan infrastructure law. >> the single biggest and best. >> was a bipartisan effort. 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 infrastructure decade. put us

on a path to win the economic competition of 21st century. we faced with the rest of the world, particularly china. i told xi jingping. it's never been a good bet to bet against the american people. create good jobs for millions of americans. modernizing roads, airports, ports, waterways, all across america. and we'll do it to withstand the devastating effects of climate change and promote environmental justice. we'll build a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle, charging stations. >> begin to replace the poisonous lead fights. so every child, every american is clean water to drink at >> suburban or urban and tribal communities. 4,000 projects have already been

announced. many of you have in your districts and tonight i'm announcing that this year we will start fixing over 65,000 miles of highway and one 1500 bridges in disrepair. taxpayers dollars to rebuild america. we're going to do it by buying america. spends about 600 billion dollars you to keep this country safe and secure. there's been a lot on the books for almost a century to make sure taxpayers dollars support american jobs and businesses. every administration, democrat or republican says they'll do it.

but we're actually we're actually doing it. we'll buy america to make sure every for everything from the deck of an aircraft carrier to the steel on highway guardrails is made in america from beginning to end. all of to compete for the jobs of the future. we also need a level playing field. 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% of our gdp research and development. china is. let me give you one example why it's so important to pass. if you traveled 20 miles east of

columbus, ohio, you find 1000 acres of land. it will look like much. stop and look closely. you see a field of dreams. the ground in which america's future will be built. that's where intel the american company that helped bill silicon valley. he's going to build a 20 billion dollar. semiconductor, mega site. up to 8 state of the art tractors in one place. 10,000 new jobs. and those factors average job about $135 $135,000. a year. so most sophisticated manufacturing the world. to make an computer ships the size of a fingertip, the power, the world and everyday lives. from smart phones. technology is the internet. technology is yet to be invented. but that's just the beginning. intel ceo pat gelsinger who is here tonight. our pat is pat. there you go. pat came to see me told me

they're ready to increased our investment from 20 million to 100 billion. that would be the biggest investment in manufacturing in american history. and all the way for xi to pass this bill. so let's not wait any longer. send it to my desk. i sign it and will really take off in a big way. >> something happening in america. >> just around. you'll see an amazing story. rebirth of pride to come from. stamping products made in america. revitalization of american

manufacturing companies are choosing to build new factories here. with just a few years ago, they would have gone overseas. that's what's happening. ford is investing 11 billion dollars. electric vehicles creating 11,000 jobs across the country. gm is making the largest investment in his history. 7 billion dollars to build electric vehicles. pretty 4,000 jobs in michigan. >> all tow. >> 369,000 new manufacturing jobs are created america last year alone. why people i've met like joe joe burgess from generations of unions. still workers in pittsburgh sheriffs and i were you, joe, joe. there you go. thanks, buddy.

>> brown says it's time to bury label rust belt. this time. >> to see. the what used to be called rust belt become the ship, home significant resurgence of manufacturing. record job growth, higher wages, too. many families are struggling to keep up with their bills. inflation. he's robbing them games. they thought otherwise they would be able to feel. that's why my top priority is getting prices under control. look, our economy word back faster than almost anyone predicted. at the businesses had a hard time hiring of people because of the pandemic to keep up production in their factories.

she didn't have people making those beams that went into buildings because they were out the factories 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. but the cars last year. one-third of all the inflation was because of automobile sales, the running of semiconductors and make all the cars that people want to buy. and guess what? prices bills went way out. especially used vehicles as well with. and so we have a choice. one way to fight inflation is a drive down wages and make america's poor. i think of a better idea to fight inflation. lower cost, not your wages. bars and

semiconductors in america. more infrastructure innovation in america. more goods moving faster and cheaper in america. more jobs were getting good living in america. instead of relying on foreign supply chains that make it in america. this increasing the productive capacity of our common and economy. call it building a better america.

will lower your costs and lower the deficit. 17 nobel laureates in economics said my plan will ease long-term inflationary pressures. top business leaders. and i believe most americans support the plant. here's the plan. cut the cost of prescription drugs. just look in one in 10 americans as diabetes in virginia, a 13 year-old boy, the handsome young man standing up there. joshua day. >> every single day. >> this one cost about $10, a vial to make. that's what it costs. pharmaceutical company.

drug companies charge families like josh with his dad to 30 times that i spoke with joshua's mom. imagine what it's like to look at your child who needs is on the stay healthy and have no idea how in god's name are going to able to pay for it. what does your family? but when it your dignity. your ability look at child in the eye. to be the parent who expect yourself to be. i really need think about that. that's what i think about. you know, yesterday, josh is here tonight. but yesterday was his birthday. happy birthday, buddy. by the way. with 200,000 other young people with type one diabetes that's kept the cost of insulin to we have great

disagreements on this floor of this. let's let medicare negotiate the price of prescription job. >> but the price be a drug. >> look, the american rescue plan is helping millions of families with affordable care act plans to say than $2400 a year on health agreements. let's close the coverage gap and make the savings permanent. let's cut energy costs for families. an average of $500. you're my combating climate change that let provide investment tax credits to weatherize your home and your business. to be energy efficient and get a tax credit for it. double america's clean

energy production in solar wind and so much more lower the price electric vehicle saving another $80 a month that you're not going have to pay at the pump. living for hard working folks cut the cost of childcare. >> major city in america pay up to $14,000 year for childcare per child. i was a single dad for 5 years raising 2 kids and a lot of help, though. >> hi to mom and dad. >> a brother and a sister that really helped. but no class and working folks should have to pay more than 7% of income to care for the young children. including millions.

a woman 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. my plan doesn't stop there. it also includes home in long-term care, more affordable housing. >> pre k for 3 and four-year-olds. foster families. >> my plan, nobody me say this again. nobody earning less than $400,000 year will pay an additional penny in new taxes. not a single penny. my guess is that we took a secret ballot in this floor. that we'd all agree that the president tax system a fair.

we have to fix it. i'm not looking to punish anybody. let's make corporations and wealthy americans start paying their fair share. chris and tom carper. and my distinguished congresswoman. we come from the land of corporate america or corporations incorporated american and every other state in america combined. 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 companies. earned 40 billion dollars in profit and paid 0 in federal it's not fair. >> that's why i proposed a 15% minimum tax rate for corporations. that's why and

the g 7 other meetings overseas were able to put together. i was able to be somewhat helpful. 130 countries degree on a global minimum tax rate. so companies can get out of paying their taxes at home by shipping jobs in factories overseas and raising billions of dollars. that's why proposed closing loopholes for the very wealthy who don't pay paying a lower tax rate than a teacher in 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 to families. so what are we waiting for? let's get this done. we all know we've got to make change. confirm my nominees for the federal reserve. >> plays critical role. and

fighting inflation. >> my plan will not and lower costs and give families a fair shot. it will lower the deficit. the previous administration only balloon the deficit with those tax cuts for the very wealthy and corporations. undermined the watchdogs. the job of those 2 key pandemic relief funds way some member had those debates. but whether or not those watchdog should be able to see every day how much money was being spent, where it was going to the right place. kind of my administration watchdogs are back. >> criminals who stole billions of relief money. >> meant for small business and millions of americans in the night. i'm announcing that the just farm will soon name a chief prosecutor from pandemic fraught. by the end of this

year, the deficit 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 1 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. corporations have to compete. their profits. go up in your prices, go up and they don't have to compete. small businesses and family farmers and ranchers. i need not tell some of my republican friends most states. guess what, you've got 4 basic meatpacking facilities. you play with them. we don't get to play at all. and you pay a of a lot more a of a lot more for. see

what's happening with ocean carriers and moving goods in and out of america. during the pandemic. about half a dozen less foreign owned companies raise prices by as much as 1000% and made record profits tonight. i'm not seen a crackdown. most companies overcharging american businesses and consumers. street firms take over more nursing homes. quality in those homes gone down. and costs have gone up. that engine. my watch. medicare is going to set higher standards for nursing homes and make sure loved ones get the care they deserve and that they inspect look at closely. we're also going to cut costs to keep the economy going strong, giving workers a fair shot. provide more training and

apprenticeships higher and based on skills, not just 2 degrees. let's pass the paycheck fairness act to pay >> the $15 an hour. increased pell grants increase are stark supporter. hbc use. >> and invest. our first lady who teaches full-time calls america's best-kept secret community college. when we invest in our workers, rebuilding the 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. covid has impacted every decision on our lives and the life of this nation. and i know you're tired, frustrated

and exhausted. that doesn't even count close to a million people who should is a dining room table or kitchen table and look at an empty chair. because they 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 no, more normal routines. reached a new movement in the fight against covid-19. where severe cases are down to a level not seen since july of last year. just a few days ago, the center for disease control and prevention. issued a new mask guidelines new guidelines. most americans and most of the country can now go mask free. and based projections. based on projections. war of the

country will reach a point across that went across the next couple of weeks. thanks to the progress we made in the past year. covid-19, no longer need control our lives. i know some are talking about living with covid-19. but tonight i say. we never will just accept living with covid-19. we'll 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 4 common sense steps as we move forward safely. in my view, first. stay protected with vaccines and treatments. we know incredibly effective. vaccines are if you're vaccinated and boosted, you have the highest degree of protection. we will never give up and vaccinating more americans. now i know parents of kids under 5 are eager to see their vaccines authorized for the children. scientists are working hard to get that done will be ready with plenty of vaccines if and when they do. we're already.

we are also ready with and i viral treatments. if you get covid-19, the pfizer pill reduces your chances of ending up in the hospital by 90%. i've ordered more pills than anyone in the world has. pfizer is working overtime to some million tools this month and more than double that next month. and now we're launching the test to treat initiative so people can get tested and a former see if they prove positive received the antiviral pills on the spot at no cost. now compromised. perhaps some other mobility. we have treatments and free high quality mask leaving no one behind are ignoring any was needed as we move forward. on testing. made hundreds of millions of tests available

and you can order them for free to your doorstep. and we've already ordered free test if you're already ordered free test tonight, i'm announcing you can order another group of test covid covid covid tests go starting next week and you can get more tests. second, must prepare for new variants. over the past. we've got much better at detecting new variants, if necessary, will be able to develop new vaccines and the 100 days instead of may be months or years and of congress presides the funds we need will have new stockpiles and tests mask bills ready if needed. i can't promise a new variable com, but icahn, i can promise you we'll do everything within our power to be ready. if it does. can end the shutdown of schools and businesses. we have the tools we need. it's time for america

to get back to work and fill our great downtown's again. 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 once again working person, our schools are open. let's keep it that way. our kids need to 75 or sell the mud up. 75% of adult americans fully vaccinated. and hospitalizations down by 77%. most americans can remove their mask and stay in the classroom and move forward safely. we achieved this because we provided free vaccines, treatments, tests and masks. of course, continuing this costs money. so not surprised will be back to see off. i'm going to send

a request to congress. the vast majority of americans have used these tools. i want to get in. we may need them again. so i expect congress, i hope to pass quickly. we'll continue vaccinating the world. we've sent 475 million vaccine doses to 112 countries. more than any nation on earth. we will stop. and to keep out. a vaccine, the vaccine can stop. to spread these disease. you know, we lost so much in covid-19. time was one another. worst of all, much loss of life. but use this moment to reset. stop looking covid as a partisan divide in line. for what it is got off of disease. let's stop sending

the see each other as enemies. it starts each other for who we are. fellow americans. we can change how divided we van. there's a long time in coming. we can change how to move forward and covid-19 other issues that we must face together. i recently visited new york city police department days after the funerals officer we'll more and his partner officer jason rivera. they're responding to a 9.11 call when a man shot and killed them with a stolen gun. moore was 27 years old. officer very was 22 years old. both many can americans who grew up in the same streets,

but they later chose the parole to a patrol as police officers. i spoke with their families. i told them when they were forever in debt for their sacrifices. and we'll carry on their mission to restore the trust and safety of every community deserves. like some of you them around for a while. i work with you on these issues for a long time. i know what works. investigating crime prevention and community policing. cops walk to be who know the neighborhood and you can restore trust and safety. it's not abandon our streets. choose between safety and equal justice. let's come together to protect our communities. restore trust and hold law enforcement accountable. that's why the justice department as required body cameras ban choke holds and restricted no knock warrants for its officers. that's why the american rescue plan uaw provided 350 billion dollars. that cities states

and counties can use to hire more police investing more crew strategy. must rise light. 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 with police. is to fund the police. >> resources resources training they need to protect their community. >> i asked democrats and republicans alike. to pass my budget to keep our neighborhoods safe. and we'll

do everything in my power to crack down on gun trafficking of ghost guns. you can buy online a symbol of home. no serial numbers can't be traced. i ask congress to pass measures to reduce gun violence. passed universal background checks. why? >> able to purchase a weapon? >> assault weapons and high capacity magazines off 100 rounds. >> you think the deer kevlar vests? book, repeal liability shield, the makes gun manufacturers, the only industry in america that can't be sued. >> not with the back of manufacture. >> these laws don't infringe on the second amendment. they save lives. the most fundamental right in america is the right to vote and have it count. it's under assault.

>> suppress the vote. we've been there birthday entire election. >> we can't let this happen. tonight. i call on the senate to pass pass the freedom to vote act. >> pass the john lewis act voting rights act. >> i like to honor someone who dedicated his life to serve this country. justice breyer. an army veteran constitutional scholar return justice united states supreme court. justice breyer, thank you for your service.

of police and former judges supported by democrats and republicans, folks. before it. eventually bertie justice. we need to secure our border and fix the immigration system. >> would you might guess? i think we can do both. and at our border, must all new technology like cutting edge scanners to better detect drugs moment. we've set up joint patrols of next year on one of my only catch more human traffickers we're putting in place dedicated immigration judges and significant larger number. so families flee persecution of violence can have their cases. cases heard faster and those. >> we generally hear could be sent back. re re securing commitments and supporting
