in any case slavery had already been in north america and south america before arrival of the -- thiscause native americans as we know from both south america and north america were themselves engaged in enslaving each other and later on whites when they could capture them. slavery was, of course, something that was nearly universal in the human experience all around the world cultures, societies, held poem as captives and enslave them so it wasn't an invention of the people in jamestown in 1619. it wasn't invention of the english columnist in the new world spanish and portuguese have been enslaving both native americans and african captives well before this. slavery in what was going to become the united states had already been there for at least 100 years because the spanish had brought slaves to what is now florida and to georgia. so things are a bit more complicated than the times made out that their founding idea is that the united states became the inheriter of this original sin of slavery and that became the basis of all of our sort of focal institution our economy, our laws ou

what's better for america? a tax cut to make corporations richer and ceos richer and investments that are going to make our country stronger, more competitive, and lift up the standard for everybody. and by the way, this is not punishing anybody. all those folks are still going to have two homes, and three homes, their jets. won't matter. not going to change their standing one little bit. not surprisingly, critics say they worry that i'm going to stunt economic growth by raising taxes on corporations and wealthy. there's just one problem with their argument. the facts. experts have looked at it. the last time taxes were around the rates i'm proposing was in the '90s and the economy boomed. america created 20 million new jobs in 8 years when these were the tax rates, and the facts are, the american economy has had record job creation and growth under the same kind of plan i'm proposing, and here's why. our economy has always done best when everyone pays their fair share. again, i'm not looking to punish anybody.

it may be decent and honorable people, and they are, but the lasting america -- the last thing america needs is another tax break for the wealthy. we need to the minute the loophole, only the gains for people making above a couple million dollars a year. at a rate for people making more than a million dollars a year. which by the way would affect 3/10 of one percent of all taxpayers. 3/10 of one percent of the top 1%. and close in other loophole like the real estate investment loophole. the wealthy paying the same rate on their wages and investment, it raises $40 billion a year for the next 10 years. the reason i'm bothering to do this is a keep hearing that biden is going to raise your taxes in the press. anyone making less than $400,000 a year will not pay a single penny in taxes. and we will not increase the deficit either, unlike the less gigantic tax cut that increase the deficit by $2 trillion. it's about balancing the system and growing the economy. wealthy investors no longer will pay lower marginal tax rates under secretary pays, the secretary in their office -- dan there sec.

to build america.] and we need automakers and other companies to keep investing here in america and not take the benefits of our public investments and expand electric vehicles and battery manufacturing production abroad. we need you to deepen your partnership with the uaw, pay good wages, and support communities like dearborn across the country. we need to come together as a nation. the vice president and i have had a number of meetings in the oval office with republican leaders in congress and members of congress. we believe we can find a bipartisan deal on infrastructure. and we look forward to hearing more details of their proposal, which they're going to submit a counterproposal either later today or tomorrow to me. but we've made one thing clear: we'll compromise, but doing nothing is not an option. doing nothing is not an option. the world is not waiting, i say for a second time. i'll conclude with this. last month, i kept my commitment to convene the leaders of the major economies around the wo

we've called it clean cars for america.l of that plan is that by 2040, all vehicles should be clean. all vehicles on the road should be clean. the international energy agency, by the way, recommends the world reach that target by 2050, so we beat them by ten years if this proposal goes into effect. my plan would help us get us there ten years ahead of time. it's one of the many reasons that president biden put clean cars for america at the heart of his american jobs plan, something i hope and expect he'll discuss today in michigan. and i want to thank the biden administration. they have been open to many new ideas, the american competitive and innovation act that we will be debating today, and clean cars for america, which they have more or less adopted in whole and put into in their build back better plan. the benefits would be far-reaching, far beyond the subject of climate change. for a long time, critics have said you can't help the economy without hurting the -- sorry. for a long time, critics have been saying you can'

look what we've done, america. look at what you've done, america. there's not a single thing beyond our capacity to do in this country when we decide to do it and we do it together. we can do whatever we set our minds to do if we do it together. that's exactly what we're going to do. solve the problem here in the united states, which we're well on our way of doing, and help solve the problem for the world by organizing the rest of democracies of the world. i want to thank you, all. god bless you, and may god protect our troops. thank you very much. [indiscernible] >> cease-fire given the escalation and violence we have seen over the weekend? president biden: i will be speaking with the prime minister in an hour and i will be able to talk after that. >> do you still believe

he was exactly the man america needed at a crucial moment. we appreciate it only more from a distance of time now. to this day, whatever i'm asked to describe my own clinical outlook, there's no term that fits more comfortably than reagan conservative. i guess it started with my dad who is also named paul. he was not a political type but there was never a more enthusiastic reagan voter in the state of wisconsin. i remember in 1980, i was 10 years old. my dad pointed out a geographical connection that the river that ran through janesville wisconsin slowed past dixon illinois, where our new president spent his childhood. for a kid, there was something nice knowing he had come from the same part of the world we did. it was a long time before i took an active interest in politics and when i did, i naturally identified with the ideas of ronald reagan. early in my career, i spent a lot of time in the company of a guy named jack kemp. a wonderful guy i still miss. being around jack was a daily emerge in -- daily immersion in reagan conservative. his

it bearing the name the united states of america.ave their lives for their country. but they live forever in our hearts. forever proud and forever honorable. they are in the sentence of lib libberty. liberators of nations. still today americans stand watch around the world. often at great personal peril. they are not relics of our american history, they are part of america's story. here in arlington, heros that president lincoln called the last full measure of devotion. they didn't just die in normandy, but the mountains and deserts of iraq in the last 20 years. when i walk through it reminds me of the cost of war. hundreds of graves hundreds of graves here for recent conflicts. hundreds of patriots gave their all. each leaving behind a family to live with the pain in their absence every single day. i want to assure each of those families that we will never forget what you gave to our country. we will never fail to honor your sacrifice. each day starting when i was vice president of the united states. and afghanistan and iraq. not an

this is america. we are a constitutional republic. we believe in private property rights. we have unalienable rights we do believe in a colorblind society. not critical this theory and critical that theory. this is america. where we're not ruled by one man, half whited signing executive order after executive order because he wants to be the greatest leftist in american history. this is america. we're not ruled by 50/50 senate that tries to ram through whatever it can to change our electoral system to change our border system or house of representatives that has a ten vote margin. the smallest majority in a hundred years. they have no mandate to do what they're doing i've been saying this on radio since february 8th, joe biden is president because joe biden accounts historic legacy. and we're faced with two kinds of tyranny. executive branch we're faced with a man who believes in -- go big go fast whatever it takes. second amendment i oppose it and sign executive orders to do what to change the second

there's racism in america. better look in the mirror. >> and here's a piece from "the new york times." saying america is racist is not a radical statement. if that requires another definition, so be it. the fact in the end is not altered. your thoughts. >> tim scott has done one thing wrong here, a black man that thinks for himself. this is something that democrats can't stand. they have this double standard which is if you have republicans in a group and they're all white, it's the lily white republican parties. if they're blacks, they're tokens. they're never satisfied either way. and by the way, in the democratic party is so great for blacks, how didn't they didn't manage to elect a democratic from the south in the u.s. senate for reconstruction in raphael warnock got elected last january? tim scott had been in the senate for eight years prior. so the democrats screen at the republicans about being a racist party. they have to ask themselves why have they not been able to do that. when tim scott was elected
