we all, we do agree in a lot more things and we acknowledge i signed 80 by parson bills in the wall last year from preventing government shut. sounds, protecting asian american. some still to common hate crimes to reform military justice and will soon be strengthened, advised against women act that i 1st wrote 3 decades ago. it's important, it's important for us to so so the nation come together do 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 much. we can do increased funding for prevention, treatment, farm reduction. so we get rid of outdated rules and stop doctors and the stat stop,

doctors versus prescribing treatments. stop the flow of willis and drugs by working with state local law enforcement to go after the traffickers. if you're suffering from addiction, you know, you should know you're not alone. i believe in recovery and i celebrate the 23000000. 23000000 americans in recovery. second, let's take on mental health. especially among our children whose lives in education had been turned upside down. the american rescue plan gave schools wanting to hire teachers and help students make up for lost learning. i urge every parent to make sure your school, your school does just that have the money. we can all play apart, sign up to be a tutor or a mentor. children are also struggling before the pandemic bullying violence trauma and the harms of social media. as francis hogan who is here to night,

it us has shown we must hold social media platforms accountable for the national experiments are conducting on our children for profit booth. thank you. it occur, you say it's time to strengthen privacy protections, ban targeted advertising to children, to man tech companies, stop collecting personal data on our children. and let's get all americans, the mental health services they need. more people can turn for help and full parity between physical and mental health care. if we treat it that way, and on the 3rd piece of that agenda and to support our veterans,

veterans or the backbone in the spine for this country, they're the best of us. my boy a for the secret obligation criptos we send the war and care for those in their family when they come home. my registration providing assistance, a job training housing, and now helping lower income veterans got via care debt free. and our troops interact effaced and wrapped as to face many dangers. one being station a base is breathing and toxic smoke from burn pitch. many of your vendor i've been in and out of iraq and afghanistan over 40 times. these bird pitching in generate waste. the waste of war, medical and hazards material jets you on so much more. and they come home. many of the worlds finished invest train wars in the world. never the same headaches,

numbness dizziness, a cancer that would put them in a flag coffin. i know one of those, one of those soldiers was my son major bo boyd and i don't know for sure. the bird pit that he lived there, that is, which was near in iraq and earlier that in kosovo is the cause of his brain cancer. the disease of so many other troops. but i am committed to find out everything we can committed to military families like daniel robinson from ohio, the widow of sergeant 1st class. he robinson. he was born a soldier, army national guard, combat medic, in kosovo in iraq station, near baghdad, just yards from burn kits. the size of football feels danielle is here with us

tonight. they love going to ohio state football game. normally legos with their daughter. but cancer from prolonged exposure to burn, pitch ravaged, he longs and body. danielle says he was a fighter to the very end. he didn't know how to stop fighting, and neither did she. through her pain, she found purpose to demand that we do better. to night daniel, we are going to do better the da da far a new ways of linking talk to dispose of disease. already helping more veterans get benefits. and tonight i'm announcing we're expanding eligibility veteran suffering

from 9 respiratory cancers. i'm also calling on congress to pass a law to make sure veterans devastated by toxic exposure in iraq and afghanistan. finally, get the benefits to the comprehensive health 4th lesson let's in cancer, as we know it. this is 1st this is person the main to jill and a comma. and so many of you. so many of you lost someone you love. husband, wife,

son, daughter, mom. dad. cancer is a number to cause a death in america. second only to heart disease. last month i announced the plan to supercharge the cancer moon shot, the president obama's be lead 6 years ago. our goal is to cut cancer death rates by least 50 percent over the next 25 years. i think we can do better than that. turn cancers from death sentences into treatable diseases, more support for patients and their families to get their i call on congress to fund what i called r p h advanced advanced research projects agency for health pattern after darpa and the defense department projects. a lead in darpa to the internet, g p. s. and so much more than make our forces more safer and be able to wage war more with more clarity are for will have

a singular purpose to dry breakers and cancer, all timers and diabetes, and more a unity agenda for the nation. we can do these things. it's within our power, and i don't see a partisan edge to any one of those 4 things. my fellow derek is tonight we've gathered in a sacred space, a citadel of democracy. in this capital generation, after generation americans had debated great questions, mid great strife. i've done great things. we fought for freedom, expanded liberty, debated totalitarianism and tear. we both the strongest free is the most prosperous nation. the world is ever known. now as the, our, our moment of responsibility, our test to resolve and conscience of history itself. it is in this

moment that our character, this generation has formed. our purpose is found. our future is forged. well, i know this nation will meet to test, protect freedom and liberty, expand furnace, an opportunity and we will save democracy as hard as those times have been. i'm more optimistic about america today than i been my whole life because i see the future that's within our grasp. because i know there's simply nothing beyond our capacity or capacity. we're the only nation on earth. it has always turned every crisis we faced into an opportunity. the only nation that can be defined by a single word possibilities. so on this night are 245th year as a nation. i've come to report on the state of the nation to state of the union. and my report is this. the state of the unit is strong because you,

the american people are strong. we are stronger today or will be stronger years from now. we are today. this is our moment to meet and overcome the challenges are 5 and we will have one people, one american united states of america a particular to go get and he has been watching president or by resident the nation address actually has the congress on his 1st inaugural state of the union, lots of things he covered actually cover a wide variety of issues, full of hope,

optimism, and to actually analyze a speech. i want to welcome back and our panel, our patillo, rachel. i am still in abilene by the beach, then swan and lincoln. bill, thanks for joining me on this. we just finished the speech last. it looks to be a little bit over what our probably one of the longest addresses that president biden has actually address sedation. he covered 4 main topics. first that he was said that he wanted to talk about because we beat the opioid out epidemic 2nd. take on mental health. 3rd, support our veterans and 4th, let's and answer as we know it, there's a 4 things he laid out that he thinks american to can do and should do. and he wants to do. let's talk about it. we just watch speed. let's talk about 1st of all, most importantly was that, that satisfy everything you wanted or i think i wrote down here at one point you said it's as good as we can get when it was very fast. we could have hoped for

robert. so stick by that, that was he said, stick by that for the kind of speech person by 2, because he will set forth on the task of kind of minimizing the bad parts of the 1st year in office. but also sitting on the hope full optimistic tone, the took a very bipartisan autonomous speech are the most of the set of points of sounds like a republican speech on many parts. so i think he will use setting the agenda that there will be an olive branch to your other side of the aisle to try to tackle some of these big issues. ok, blake, what was predictable about the speech? well, i don't know, i will, i won't talk about actually what was predictable, what was surprising to me and how he opened up the speech because it was very ukraine. russia, well, i'm sorry. i live in russia as you were very surprised by that. why were you surprised this has been literally leading the headlights for 2 weeks. abysmal writing point rating points for this president going in until this happened. now the cities feels like the countries united, both republican democrats. why does that surprise you? this is what he went on. well, i think it was a big,

well import because of what robert and i were actually talking about is that there were certain that there were parts of the speech that seemed to be in the wrong place. there are things that he should have talked about initially because leading with russia, it was kind of him replacing trump. so russia was set up at the beginning of the speech as the boogeyman, not to say that he shouldn't talk about that, but to really lead off with, you know, russia is really the boogeyman here. i just thought that that could have been at a different point in the speech, but the 4 things that you said he wanted to the american people to focus on to me that kind of fell on deaf ears because it wasn't. those weren't the 4 things that i would have imagined him saying that we need as a country to focus on that as i kind of imagine, there's some kind of some realty, yeah, on that side of that, you start off with your economically did he economics did he hit all the numbers that needed to hear. well, you certainly talked about and job is that is a share. and you know, it's interesting. you mentioned that it sounded almost like a republican president in speech. it's almost like he was taking some notes from

something they republican president would have said when it comes to this nation and exactly where we are. and right, i mean, he talk for 60 minutes and the 1st 10 minutes, at least, is that where devoted to russia, i thought that we were listening to russia state of the union address for a 2nd there, whenever he's listing off numbers and talking about russians, economy i would think that the american people would want to hear about our own economy, but that's not what was 1st on his list today. can, you know, and surprisingly, then what was it was stuck out with you? what surprises you will? i think the thing is surprising the most we did not. we did not hear did not hear the the name trump didn't mention trump at all, which we really thought he was going to talk about tonight. right. but i think to robert's pointed, it was pretty insightful believe, mentioned this as well. russia replaced that, right? i had this speech taken place 4 weeks ago. i think we would have heard that name. we didn't now because there's a new name. putin as the name, right. instead, and so that's the bad guy that we all have to focus on. what was really interesting to is he didn't address any of the problems he talked about wanting to get control of the border. said nothing about how that would happen, right? completely ignore the fact that 2 and

a half 1000000 people across the border in the last year, completely blowing every record you know previously said, he didn't talk about inflation. he simply said, approve why my nominated the federal reserve because they're the ones who take care of inflation. no, they don't. the better reserves the ones of creating the inflation by printing money into infinity. so the issues that the president talked about that we talked about ahead of time, gas prices, the cost of bacon and eggs at the store, the ability of americans to get back to work. you know, he bragged about job numbers, but they're not real job numbers. they'll know they're not real job numbers, it's, it's jobs that people were forced out of that they're going back to what's not newly created jobs. so none of the things that you would have expected to hear of here are my, my pragmatic steps to fixing what you're going through as, as an american citizen. didn't hear any of that tonight. well, why? i think that he did talk about robert was and we were talking about the 2nd amendment. he did spend a lot of time talking about guns just followed by the i that we don't need to define this place. we need to fund the police. i tell you them, i want to be the 1st time i've heard a democrat that's a little different. what i've heard in the past,

why is this change in this narrative is just an election narrative, or is that truly the? i'd have been opened that maybe the plates are not necessarily the n me they've had, they've been demonized the past few years of being on the will. those person by them taking back over the agenda on that because what happened was, republican was heard, one person and one city said the word d from the police. and they turned that into the new poster for a while, while criminal justice reform was about president bible trying to reset that narrative to say the look what we want is better, smarter, more fit to policing, to which are that we have the best public safety in our country as little can stop the crime way. what does happen nationwide, the number of police always door taking early retirement of the lack of public safety because that's important to the american people. and i think at the same time, you have to take the teeth out of those attacks where you're in swing districts and you know that the republican candidate is going to run on the front of police critical race theory. so socialism, marxism they want to take the teeth, i was one of those attachments, have been a festival and indicates crime. that is a huge ahead im like. busy you cover that a lot in your world, especially on your social media, did he address?

and i've actually, i would play a little bit from the speech of actually what he had to say regarding this. okay, so i'll agree. the answer is not to define the police is to fund the police 11 democrats, republicans align 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 lie, assemble at home. no serial numbers can't be traced. i asked her to pass proven measures to reduce gun violence, pass universal background checks. why should anyone on the this is a weapon? why? okay, so did he to solve the problem of the why i cannot walk down the street right now?

washington dc without the possibility of running into some gunfire. no, because what he did is what politicians typically do and definitely democrats, they really focus on the bright and shiny objects. so you heard ghost guns, you heard being on the terrorist watch list and background checks, all of those things are important. they do play a role when it comes to things that we can do around gun violence and things like that. but many of the things that joe biden talked about bringing federal resources . what i want people to realize is that this is an extension of what donald trump was doing when donald trump actually came out with operation legend. you actually see now the bite in administration, working with states and localities to actually deal with the crime in the areas. but i think what we talked about earlier in the show is the same thing. i'm at the same place now because i don't think that bite him did enough to to he didn't do enough, feel your pain for me. and he's actually very good at that very. he's of, he comes across as a very empathetic person. but i don't think that he did enough,

i feel your kitchen table issue pain talking about in a very general way with no plans to actually how i'm going to fix that saying that you want background checks was sure, but they've been talking about that forever and how background checks going to affect the violence that we're seeing on cities yates, urban areas, right. where you have incredible gang violence, your kids being killed and, and that was kind of the theme of the night, right? was very nonspecific. we're going to fix the opioid crisis, how he didn't say how he was gonna fix. i didn't say that he didn't even acknowledge the fact that the majority of opioids in this country are flowing across from the southern water from mexico and drug cartels who are selling more fentanyl now than they are selling cocaine and marijuana. right. that's the drug that they're, they're invested in. doesn't talk about any of those things. what was really interesting to me though, is in that clip we just played the fact that the vice didn't didn't stand but barely clapped when he said longly had a hard time. and i think that there you're going to see a rift in the party. certainly because joe biden, the author of the crime bill,

right. all of a sudden start saying fun, the police and there's a wing of the party that i think is gonna heavily resist what he said tonight, without any issues now raised on this idea of the upgrade. they also talk to little bit about the pandemic. let's get people back to work. at the same time, he said we need people to be able to go and get a pill. if they test positive, it was all the setting for free that nothing in america is free. somebody has to pay for it. so did he really addressed each of how they're going to pay for even more free things that come along with cove it now? well, this is politics. i mean they're, they're going to give you free hand doesn't matter which way. and of course, it makes him look good to be able to stand there and say, hey, we've got free test coming out. we have all the resources that you need. i know you're right. they never mentioned the fact that these things aren't truly free. they never mentioned how much they had driven up the national debt just over the last couple of years. i mean, they kind of, of course, he's going to want to continue to use that vague language which we saw him do. but

at the end of the day, when you're talking about americans paying more all around, they're going to be more thoughtful of those price tags is just the reality of and a lot of numbers are mentioned. i one number that was not though and been with are she because it's kind of your area was how many people actually died from cove? it. we've heard that number over how many people are in say, hey, how many were hospitalized? how many affected we did not hear the very dramatic number tonight? why not? well, you know, why not why, man, because there have been more depth under covered under this president, president biden than there were under president trump. there was a little clip that we were playing in the beginning where, where biden specifically said when he was on the campaign trail, that no one who oversaw this many deaths for cope. it should be in the white house, right. so they can't say those numbers. they're not gonna point it out, but the, but they're also, you know, this idea he wanted to declare victory over co for tonight, right. but i think he was at least smart his, his handlers were smart to say, let's not do that. because if you get a resurgence again, these clips are going to get played over and over and over. it's like george w bush standing with the mission accomplished zine behind his back before we went

through 8 more years of war. so i think that he had to be very careful about that. but again, i did the lack luster on the coven front because there was no victory. there was no look what we did other than we've got a lot of tests that people still don't have. and we've pushed for a lot of mandates that got struck down and couldn't even stand behind those. he didn't mentioned osha didn't mention any of the mandates. well, an education robert, we did hear one thing that kind of surprised it's very usually every says college college college hired higher education to my name is the 1st time really had a democrat focus on community college. usually a republican talking point trade schools is that kind of going to be the new direction of democrats, they're realizing, or is this just an election you're talking? i think it has to be the new direct on the party because after decades and decades of decades were pushing college or higher education. now it was due to loan crisis or not paid for that as well as kept their promises. there was splitting the whole speech for him to talk about student loan reform. he did not mention it, you know, and my friend mentioned of you go to a park nowadays where you cbl to little children running around when you were kid

throwing kids in parts. you know why? because millennials can afford to have kids because student loans, but that's not something they want to talk about or they want to tackle. so i think the person biting, kept a very 30000 foot view on many things, get not getting into it, leaving specifics. but i do think that this why you're having 3 separate responses from the democratic side of the aisle to the speech, because they knew beforehand they've been in the is used to progressives of that young people were interested in weren't going to be talked about. well, i guess actually just wanted to add to what robert said, because it's a good point that he kept a very and this is kinda piggyback of what he said. he kept a very, you know, 30000 view on things. but if you listen to some of the things that bite and talked about, like for instance, he repeated something that he's been repeating for the past year or so. well, they need to pass, you know, the voting it john lewis bill. he just said that i want congress to continue doing this, but he's been saying that for well over a year now. and congress has not done it. so to include this in the speech language

. this is what i want congress to do. and congress still has not done if i, if i were advising the bided administration, i would figure out a better way to actually articulate this. whereas you can't just keep repeating. i want congress to do something because eventually people are going to ask, well, what are you doing to actually changed it? and let's be clear. biden has no control over what congress does. no prose, it, we're, no president does. right? but for binding to continue to say, hey, it's in congress's hand, which is actually true. i don't think that that's actually helpful from a communication strategy, because we're still not there yet. well, and you'd almost see the writing on the wall because there wasn't as much. i think partisanship involved in the speech it was which is much calling as of or public and you've stopped this. there was as much daemon. ization that i think in past speeches would have been probably good, probably reading the writing on the wall that he might this time next year be delivering it to a congress made up of the opposite of what he has now. and these last few minutes that we have, i want to around, what are people going to be talking about from this speech? you have those moment to morrow morning when they go into the office,

what is going to be? what the main talking point they remember i hope you get, i'm going to start with you been on this, but i know you so it's, it's a mean culture, right? that's what people talk about. they're going to talk about you were missing his cue and then looked around and sat back down and waited. and then everyone stood up. he was almost like the person who was holding up the sinuses. applause kept messing it up tonight and a lot of misuse. people sending up to applauded the wrong time and actually usually doesn't. he's usually kind of right there on that, but he wasn't listening in on that side of it. okay. well, and i think that one of the biggest things you see and certainly on twitter that people notice is when he accidentally said iranian people instead of ukrainian people and then just kind of shut it off a very big difference there, especially right now with everything that's going on with in ukraine and especially how much you mention it. so i don't know that he even mentioned iran at all, except you accidentally say that and he didn't even forget the iran nuclear deal, which as we know this week, they are trying to re handle talks that just conveniently stayed out. obviously focusing, trying to focus on the positive, malik what key fact people are going to be talking about tomorrow. honestly,

i think many people are going to be talking about the whole rules for the not rules for the not for me sort of thing. and that. busy just immediately now we're having members of congress who are quite comfortable, not wearing mass, not just not being backs of being vaccinated, but they are quite comfortable now not wearing mass. and that starts from the president of united states to nancy pelosi to kamala hair. so it's kind of, it's a metaphor for how they've handled the mandates that, well, maybe they're not important, which is why so many people feel like these things were arbitrary than really based on size. so i think that, that something that, and to that point it every single server in this country, every person who works in a restaurant, a movie theater, who's been forced by their employer to wear a mask. shame or take those masks off. if the members of congress can sit back close to each other and not wear masks, we shouldn't have the service class having higher mask and tomorrow there will be students down various states around the country going back to school. and they will have a mask on it. if you get to get the power in this, what is people gonna be talking about?

i think it was going to be russia, russia, russia, li, primacy, recency. that's what people are going to remember. you know, season to you got to have a new big bed for the season. season one will to trump season with the cova. so plot, know will they won't, they think rush will be the new the new boogeyman foresees and to we saw that there was not one mention of january 5th in the spring, that storyline has already kind of peter is way out and that was not put one to something roses. when we knew storyline, every buddy needs eveline, right? this is kind of it for the same time. i think people that are going to go once again, he said we're going to commit all this to it. but we're not actually going to stand at ground troops into it, but lots of money and obviously we're going to sound strong on it. on that side it, it is been lovely spinning this evening with the 4 of you. i appreciate your commentary. and obviously i buy the best minds for the best conversation. i appreciate and i appreciate you, the viewer for choosing have lots of options to watch this. i appreciate you, susie, i hear it r t america. thank you so much for joining our coverage in the state. union today, the conversation at scottie and hughes, active and b 8 until we see again,

i'm calling say happy stay helping stay inform. ah oh, oh, oh, read read. i turned on the tv in about the world and what's happening around me. i see shows on the screen last every day because the fake news, narrative, petty, a little dinner with farm after barbara barbrick global is the make you wow, plenty of that in this war, but i found a network that question more. i use rate, cruise speed, civil strife,

climate change, a mainstream wants to do with keep us quiet. what still i can't keep with style is critical point. bowl perspective, question more directive. we don't take that. we walk to walk r t a mirror, a thought a notion of stories and even the news worth knowing can overwhelm, you know, you can even lose your way. i know you want it all. so let me bring you the best

in. it's easy. just press play. i think this is boom by doing business. yeah. you can't afford dement, i'm ready to love it. i bred to bore in washington. here's what we have coming up. a little wave of firm cancelling services in russia. crypto current. the exchanges are standing by what they call quote, financial freedom trail ahead. we discussed the decision to remain in operation. this as a conflict in ukraine continues to weigh heavy on market. how the doctors want to start the week will break it all down. and china is facing mounting pressure of the world's 2nd largest economy in the wake of the ukraine prices and ongoing tensions of trade with the u. s. will bring you the latest. we have a.
