[applause] >> let's kill part the stateme statement. what are your thoughts when you hear him say that? the mark first thought is he had to ask the audience to clap month sat. the applause was pretty minimal so it didn't sound like it was a receptive audience. he said the line over and over and it's not his original line, he lifted that from bill clinton when he was introduced in 2008 so as usual joe biden is lifting other people's words. follow when it comes from a man who is leading the world very well. >> you have to wonder how many people are actually watching this address. we are talking about a care but he repeated a story he told the naval academy graduates in 2022 about being appointed to

i went to a catholic high school in delaware taught by the no 14 priests from saint norbert college, little team called green bay. [crowd cheering] here's the deal. you are the only high school in delaware who overwhelmingly rooted for green bay. [laughter] pres. biden: not a joke. i will tell you why. every single sunday, not only did they have a great team at the time, still do, but at the time, my theology professor at the catholic school i went to was a guy named riley. last name. he had been drafted by the green bay packers and he decided to become a priest before that, so he didn't go. but for single solitary monday that green bay won, we got the last period of the day off.

>> madam president a great deal of respect for the senator from delaware we work well together on theudiciary committee. the up operate in good faith even though we have and sometimeshave differences of op. i know he spends a lot of time thinking about national security and foreign relations affairs he has traveled the world and knows more leaders of the different countries around the world than i ever will. i do know that since he shares the concerns about the status particularly citizens who are hostages in gaza i would like to get some idea from him what his thoughts are about the administration pause on weapons delivery to gaza and israel. let me predicate this by saying i remember back when of course we were concerned about al qaeda and falluja where the marines taught a terrible battle and he said there's a conflict there's going to be civilian casualties and the goal is to minimize those casualties. likewise in places like most for isis madets its last stand in iraq.et i would like to get some idea from the senator if he would be so kind to share with me what his thoughts are a

cornyn: madam president, i appreciate the comments of my friend and colleague from delaware. i'm reassured by his commitment to making sure that israel will have the capacity too actually -- to actually eliminate the terrorist threat which of course is an existential threat. hamas, a approximate yil of iran, wants to wipe israel off the map. this is not a conflict of choice. it's an existential fight by the israeli people. and of course no one wants any civilian casualties, collateral damage. and from the news reports that i read and see, it looks to me like the israelis are trying to provide a safe passage for many of the refugees who, as the senator says, have moved south but now they're up against the hard border of egypt with nowhere else to go. so my hope is, as he said, that they will be given safe passage if they can to some place where they won't be in harm's way. but again to me the bottom line is we have to give israel the flexibility they need to eliminate the threat. we would ask for nothing less if it were us as it has been in places like mosul and fallujah in th

dy mentioned previously new hampshire and delaware doing better.ey are lower tax states. they are doing better because they have a lower poverty rate. that is a big reason why. the poverty rate, i wanted to see a scatterplot of poverty rate versus quality of the medicaid the medicaid program. i think the lower the poverty rate the better the medicaid program will be. the state has to devote less resources to it because it is lower poverty. the hold out states are high poverty areas in many cases. it is really hard for them to make the expansion decision because that will put enormous pressure on the rest of the medicaid program because they have a lot more poor people than minnesota, delaware, new hampshire. i think that's to recognize. it isn't racism it is resources. >> any further questions? seeing that -- >> let me follow briefly. when i started working in this field onofhe first things people said about medicaid is if you have seen one medicaid program you have seen one medicaid program. there is obviously huge variation, and that will complic
