strategy to finally meeting late -- meaningfully address the crisis of preventable deaths on american roads. yesterday we opened the raised discretionary grant program that will help create jobs and make communities safer and transportation cleaner and more equitable. we recognized this is a shared priority for everybody. there is no such thing as a republican bridge or a democratic bus system. people in every state, every territory, every community are counting on their infrastructure and counting on us with a once in a century opportunity to modernize systems and make them safer, cleaner, and more accessible for americans form -- from every generation to come. we are looking forward to our work together on a accountable and a swift basis to get these resources out. it is fitting that the governors play such a role in shaping and delivering this law because you and your state department of transportation will be the absolute frontlines in making sure that we truly see the value of investments delivered. thank you for everything you do. i am looking forward to our discussion now. we push a

american pothole. i came to this part very motivated to make sure that road quality is improved. and let me mention that's not just something that's driving the sheer volume of dollars that we're sending out to the states and know that you all effectively through those formulas will put to work, but also supporting research on the very important rather unsexy topic. how to improve the durability of our paving materials. think about the sheer dollars going into this in your state alone and how much an even 2 or 3% increase in the amount of time that a given piece of paving could survive,s especially in northern winters, how that would translate in terms of taxpayer savings. so the research agenda of this department is probably the least well known and celebrated, unless you happen to host one of your university transportation centers. but something that as -- maybe a bit of a nerdy pursuit i'm passionate about because i think there's enormous gains to be made in something as basic and -- as what our transportation infrastructure is made of. >> mr. secretary, one of the points that

as you know, there are far too many tragedies on american roads. we're eager to team up with you and your counterparts to do something about it. i also want to point to the fact that we take seriously our responsibility to support people in every part of the country in places rural and urban alike. one thing i would point to is that last round of grants through the raise program, we went above the statutory threshold for support for rural projects. i consider it important for us to continue to show that kind of support. in terms of how we make sure that happens, of course, we're going to take rural applications very seriously and look at visions that are the right answer knowing it isn't one size fits all for, you know, places with a lot of dense, urban areas versus those rural roads you're describing. we're also looking to make sure that we make our processes as user friendly, so to speak, as possible. we're standing up 40 new programs just in transportation alone, and that's on top of the existing ones from raise to the poor infrastructure develo

it all was to start the american road. when the american, the fact you have a good that can happen, this country was again, love did you have a good then i get off of the 2nd when the americans with, with, i mean i can give those examples. so i got to be what i do is like a well i think a lot of the be a. busy except the fact that you have russia, you have pushed it against the want it over to me. i think i don't think we should be surprised. general, i don't know if you would agree with that, but i think over the last couple of years, the western russia have been involved in what i would call the end of history made because americans, in the former se secretary can believe, arise. what we're trying to tell russian specifically in the cold war is over and the russia has lost. that is a specific quote from kind of lisa, right, which was surprisingly, as the 2008 with was present and where georgia and ukraine were indeed very conspicuously given the green light for the prospect of membership. and in response to all of all the

president biden likes to give speeches about the need for american leadership in the world, but when the rubber meets the road, when it's time to invest so we can rise and meet challenges like russia and china, this president has again decided to do exactly the opposite. putin and xi will sleep more soundly at night if the biden administration gets its way on defense funding than if republicans get ours. now, let's look at the places where president biden does want to pull out all the stops and hand out massive funding increases. our armed forces may get the short end of the stick from this white house, but plenty, plenty of far-left defense priorities will be literally swimming in cash. while they limit defense to 4% growth before inflation, nondefense spending would get a significantly larger increase. not all domestic spending, however, borders security and department of homeland security barely tread water, just like our troops, but other agencies and departments that are more useful for the far left agenda, i.r.s., e.p.a., congress, h.u.d. and labor make out like band it's, with gigantic, gigantic increa
