this is progress. we must make home ownership and affordable rentals reachable for more people. it is both economic and a moral imperative. another thing keeping too many people from working especially in rural areas, the lack of affordable broadband. i know you hear it everywhere from across the state. high-speed internet is no longer a luxury. it is a basic necessity as fundamental as electricity, heat and water. two years ago i asked you to support a 15 million-dollar bond to expand internet for the first time in more than a decade. you agreed and the voters approved and those funds have already brought high-speed internet to more than 11,000 homes and businesses all across maine. [applause] we then proposed and you and acted with bipartisan support a new entity charged with achieving universal internet access in maine. the main connectivity authority. with this new authority up and running and with the support of american rescue funds, i pledge to you tonight that every person in maine who wants to

that is progress. and i have to say i thank god every day that we expanded medicaid on day one of my administration, extending health care to 90,000 people. [applause] and thank god we reinstated the drugs for the elderly program, cut by the previous administration, and that we enshrined coverage for pre-existing conditions in state law, that we reversed declining health insurance enrollment, covering 11,000 new peopledm through coverme.gov, and that we are lowering the cost of health care for 5,000 small businesses and their 29,000 employees. that is progress. [applause] but that cannot be the end of our efforts. the system of care for people as they grow older in maine is inadequate. it is far past time to ensure that maine people can live safely and with dignity as they age. tonight, i am announcing that i will convene a silver cabinet, a mirror to our children's cabinet, to mobilize our people, to eliminate silos across state government, and to enhance coordination and communication among all playe

this is progress. at the same time, maine is not immune from the impact of pandemic driven inflation, from higher energy prices caused on fossil fuels, to supplying issues that contribute to higher prices at the grocery stores from everything from potato chips, plastic ware, ramen noodles and even a scarcity of chocolate milk. a global pandemic has very clear impacts on the national economy. while i cannot control the impact of covid-19 on global markets, i can make sure that we deliver the main people, resources they need to grapple with these rising costs as we rebuild a stronger, sustainable economy that is more resilient to the rest of the world. now, many of my friends on the others of the aisle, like senator minority leader, jeff timberlake have called for a return of half the surplus to main people through direct checks. i think they are right. i propose that we send half of the surplus, $411 million back to the people of maine. [applause] these givebacks by direct checks to the people will amou

first, enlightenment is about self-improvement, progress. if you believe in progress. if you believe that you, individually, can improve yourself or that society can progress, you're in the enlightenment group. the idea that you can overcome the limits of the worlds. what are some limits placed on their lives? what limits people? how does wealth limit you? >> i would say it will allow you to do something people can't do. >> lack of. >> lack of. poverty or not having money could play a limit placed down. there were many in what we call colonial america the lower sort, who were limited by lack of money and lack of opportunity as a result of not having money. what are the limits placed on your life? >> the religion you practice. >> how does religion serve as a limit? >> if you're living in puritan new england and you are catholic. you have no chance to do anything. >> good luck. or messiah university is a christian university. many of you, if not all of you are christians. does your christian faith place any limits on your life? if you're going to say am i christian, will

john: we've made progress through these years, but whenever we make progress, there are forces of backlash the reconstruction era, we saw the ku klux klan emerge. we saw these jim crow laws that were a true backlash against the progress of the civil war. we've seen it with the gains we made in the civil-rights era, and we saw it with the election of barack obama. now we've seen it with the election of joe biden, which was in many ways powered by the black vote. we've seen backlash to that, as well. that just means we cannot take it for granted that progress just keeps going. we have to continue to defend it and fight for it. the forces against progress are still there and are still going to fight, too. announcer: just ahead on "matter of fact" -- soledad: do you ever worry that taking a political stance will hurt you? announcer: is there a price to why hide your skin if dupixent has your moderate-to-severe eczema or atopic dermatitis under control? hide my skin? not me. by hitting eczema where it counts, dupixent helps heal your skin from within keeping you one step ahead of eczema. hide m

but progressives are being blamed for this right now in the moment. is it a confluence of incidents, or is it just -- is it a part of it because they're being more lax. >> we should be clear there's not a causal relationship or evidence that these progressive causes have caused a surge in crime. violent crime has surged in a lot of cities that don't have progressive prosecutors. we know the calls to defund police were not heeded in most cities. and those are still seeing that surge and rise in crime. it's politics here. not only are folks seeing the kind of wave and wedge and blame progressive prosecutor, but they're also seeing a weigh to hem in the democratic party. but also have a democratic party who is seeing president biden, embracing folks like mayor adams and leading more on tat hard on crime, tough on crime language than they were three, four years ago. >> we talk about economies and politicians. >> people feel how they feel about it. is that the same with crime? people feel how they feel about it? >> i think it's important to know this is nu

. i do everybody question mark we're making good progress-— good progress.s. i do not want to be drawn into giving an _ good progress. i do not want to be drawn into giving an exact - good progress. i do not want to be drawn into giving an exact time - good progress. i do not want to be drawn into giving an exact time at| drawn into giving an exact time at this point. i would certainly like to think that by the early point of next week, we have made a good deal of progress there. it really does on that whether. engineers are working flat out around the clock to reconnect people as they quickly can scratch my because they can in a safe way. scratch my because they can in a safe wa . ~ , , ., , scratch my because they can in a safewa . ~ , ,., safe way. we wish your engineers all the best. thank you for speaking to us. earlier ben brown spoke whose neighbours chimney blew off during the storm and came crashing in to her house. so ijust had literally walked out, took the dogs out and then walked back through the kitchen and had just sat down and then, all of a

carol would we look at progressive governance in big cities in america we often look in l.a.isco. new york not that far behind. you personally decided not that long ago you had had enough of it. >> yes. the thing is that woke notice and progressivism is very unpopular in america. i know they make it seemed like everyone agrees with that. it pulls very badly. the thing is they've had control of so many of our institutions we really don't see how much people don't want this but i think the san francisco board is a great example of how there is insanity in these deep blue places. democrats brought down other democrats on people to understand it's not just cities that are going to have this awoke a problem. happening all over the country. different red areas the administration of the school is super woke pushing the very left wing agenda. i think people need to realize this is not just a blue city problem. >> to roy going back to california we have been about the san francisco school board vote down in l.a. similar situation with extreme left the policies i expect the l.a. distri

we need to understand what it is that leads to the progression room -- progression of cancer to the point of tumor. when we understand the biology, we are better able to intervene. it's investing in research, but it's also taking and measuring to understand what happening to people in behalf to address aggressiveness, overdiagnosis, all of those issues we can't be afraid of because science will allow us to get out of that. one last point about molecular nutrition, we also have to intervene with therapeutics that have a wide index. the don't cause toxicity but have the appropriate intervention. we need to invest in these approaches that i think will get us to a place where we can give effective therapies early before cancer develops. >> [indiscernible] >> i'm excited about this panel. what are the areas in biology where we have the greatest lacks in great need? where physics has surpassed us is we are good at measuring, but not rates of change. the evolutions in calculus was about rates of change. we need equations in cancer and biology. i think with modern aging, dna and other tools, even

and even more claims prove false the progressives in charge double down.youngkin became governor of virginia last month when his first acts was to band mask mandates in schools. the reaction from the left was predictable. >> explosive situation in virginia over masked requirements in public schools by. >> glenn youngkin has entire political movement around the idea of essentially making it less safe for your kids and other kids to go to school. >> young pin did not win lauded and showed meet most of our community, they want masks. >> we do not what our kids to get sick. he is overruling them. >> exactly like your typical right wing trump republican right now. gerry: kids will die were literally told that about virginia. this week several more democratic states joined others in announcing the removal of masked mandates and schools including new jersey, massachusetts and most recently nevada. such typical response request new jersey, once a covid epicenter home to some of the strictest mandates announcing masks will no longer be required in schools starting

is there a sense of progress being made? i mean, when you look at the history of these talks, it seems like the parties are stuck on some of the same points, drought management, 3rd party arbitration and future adjustments to the agreement. they've been arguing over that for years. haven't they? yes, that's correct. and i think the key issue here to remind mike are in your viewers here. assume it has been blinked at politics quite if you like, sophisticated to here. no one in the last 2 years. or if you remember, all of you as you be, i have used as opportunity, they're very opportunistic. i know this, my so negative. what is true? when is your fines or found to down in the last 2 years in serious trouble? internally, they try to maximize anything dramatically will not be recovered. a re reverse easy. so that has been going through a very difficult time, i think frankly, speaking pseudo has no government as we speak. so there is no one at all challenging or even talking to this european now because we don't have a government

the progress over the last 25 years the death rate has fallen by more than 25%.ere's the deal: despite the progress of lives extended and lives saved, cancer is still the number-two cause of death in america, second only to heart disease. in the last two years of covid-19 pandemic, it's taken more than the pandemic has taken more than 800,000 american lives. but that same period of time, cancer has claimed 1.2 million american lives year in and year out. for too many patients and their families on diagnosed with cancer, instead of hope, there's also bewilderment. remember, doc, you telling the family that you had to be able we had to be able to ask questions and you were available, because it's a hard road to understand and traverse: the feeling of being on your own, a static adrift in a sea of patients, frustrated that hospitals and doctors can't only easily share your medical records or help find answers when there's minutes count. having to advocate for even the most basic care and attention for your loved one. a flood of information. a completely different la

those who ride the tiger of tyranny keep progressing to more progression.f, the tiger will eat them as well. the left isn't going to stop. you have to make a choice. we have to make a choice. are we going to stop them? right now, patriots around this country are rising up saying we will stand for our country and we will take it back. this country will not be taken back by rino's. it will be taken back by america first patriots who are willing to stand with courage to make s ure that we can pass onto our kids more than we inherited. there is a stark choice facing our country. a choice between surrender to leftist cruelty and tyranny or the revival of our republic with freedom and faith and courage. i am here to stand for the revival. i appreciate your courage. thank you very much. >>

we have made a lot of progress on this. more jobs were created last year than at any year in american history. unemployment has dropped more than any year in american history. we reduced the deficit while doing both those things by $300 billion. we lowered child poverty by nearly 40% in america. more than any year in american history as a consequence of the child tax credit. we are coming out on these challenges with the position of strength. this does not -- if you make less than $400,000, you're not paying a single penny more in taxes. it does not increase the deficit because it's paid for. they come to me and say they want to keep these programs going and increase corporate taxes to 24% which they are supposed to be. it's paid for, we know we invest in ourselves and is no limit to what we can achieve. with the leaders here, all of you know that all of the progress we made will be just the beginning. i promise you. we will do so much more and it will not increase the debt and will not increase taxes on anyone making less

because of each and every one of you, because of the progress that has been made in this country overt four decades, conservative, federalist society, lawyers, have change the consensus, change the courts and changed america for the better. [applause] i don't have to tell you, several judges have served in positions in our courts. all across the nation. for four years, you had some of your strongest and proudest served -- supporters serving in the executive branch, including in the office of the vice president. with your support, the support of conservatives around america in four short years, we made america great again. [applause] we rebuilt the military, revive the economy, rolled back regulations on energy and had more than -- judges in our federal courts at every level. we change america for the better. [applause] during our administration i'm proud to say that over 80% of our appellate court nominees were current and former members of the federal society. -- the federalist society. we confirmed three outstanding federalist society members to the nation's highest court, three jus

but there is remarkable progress that is being made.it rosa delauro in the house and republican colleagues who are working hard to get that. my every indication is there is progress that has been made because america needs to have access to this money according to the higher levels of spending and we are getting close to it. i hope we reach a point where we actually do the budget process without having to resort to these continuing resolutions which are very disruptive. host: last call for the congressman comes from paul in fulsome, louisiana, independent line. good morning. caller: good morning. how are you doing? host: good morning. go ahead. caller: i would love to have a deep discussion with this representative. but i would like to ask you one question. i sat automation to chemical plants, refineries, the energy sector. let's just get -- you say you have these great agendas that the people want and you cannot get through congress because of republicans. that is such nonsense. i want to ask you an intelligent question and see if i ca

and you're now reflecting on this 50 years of progress.o you are starting right now. >> okay. >> what would you want to study right now? where would you focus your career on the mystery that you would like to solve, given the 50 years of progress, given the fact that we have stem cell biology, we have computational biology, we are moving from an era of experimental biology to theoretical biology, etc? you are now in 2021, 50 years younger, and you don't yet have your nobel prize. what are you going to do? >> you're all smiling but nobody's answering. [laughs] >> i'll tell you what interests me lately. it's something we found that others [inaudible] -- but just a surprising immutability and plasticity of sales. we used to think there is given states, and we have textbooks that say you have this state, this state, this state, the state. and after they differentiate, they are immutable. we find that is just not true. immune cells in particular have the ability to take on a lot of the characteristics of the cells around them, and to respond to

that is the way we will make progress. got kind of like did we come to diana magna of sky news please. thank you. plus for the foreign secretary, foreign minister leverage seem to characterize your compensation just now it's similar to that being if i understand it right. between a deaf and amused i wonder what your response to that would be. and also you said that you were looking and hoping to encourage russia along the path of a meaningful compensation on european security. did you get any hints that russia was prepared to engage on particular issues which might be meaningful and a question for you foreign minister growth? this is clearly an exceptionally 10 situation between that nations and dia escalation would help take the heat out of the situation. it is pretty normal to return troops to their faces off to, for example, exercises in belarus. but are you prepared to make any meaningful gestures to de escalate and take some of the heat out of this compensation as, sorry, i'm in this situation. well 1st of all i, i sa

i'm progressive progressive for who and i think that we've got to be able to define it in a way with integrity. i think that is very important. i mean, it's it's interesting you say that often feel like you know here we have a black woman mayor who are in public housing who who folks would often challenge her viewpoints and one of the things i think folks really struggle with understanding is that historically she was raised by her grandmother that historically, you know, our older generation of black folks were much more conservative in terms of how they operated and how they function but that was born out of necessity to keep their families safe. yeah, and you sometimes would hear me say on some of my television stuff about latte liberals people that study of those of us that grew up. like i did like the mayor did oh in poverty and on welfare and all of that they study us, but they never were us and they're gonna speak for us and don't even understand our story and how are you gonna address a pain? you didn't feel better than those that hurt. i'm not saying you can't address it, bu

and we clearly need to keep driving this progress. so our message is clear. all eligible individuals should get their booster shot right away. booster shots are free, they're available at 90,000 convenient locations across the country, and as dr. fauci will discuss, critical to getting people the highest level of protection. with that, over to you, dr. fauci. dr. fauci: thank you very much, jeff. what i'm going to do now over the next couple of minutes is just build on what jeff said and talk to you based on real data, why it is so critically important to get booster shots. i'm going to talk about lab returning data, clinical trial data and real world data. next slide. so there are multiple, and i can't show them all, in vitro studies that show that covid-19 vaccine booster doses marketedly increase the neutralization of vare kwrapblts, including what we're -- variants, including what we're dealing with currently, namely omicron. this is a slide that shows the genomic antibody, namely the proteins that neutralize the virus. if you look at the far left-hand si

but there's progress made and good announcements were made today. but these are just announcement words . now we need to see action, right. and where to push back coming from if we're all agree that the ocean warming is a bad thing. why is there not more unanimity? is this because a commercial interest or what's going on? i think there's a couple of different things. yes indeed is some of the things that we would all like to see go against commercial interests. for example, the shipping industry is very helpful for fueling the global economy, but it's also a big source of pollution and changing the propulsion system to is c o 2 free systems by no means easy. although big shipping companies, you're made announcement that they're going to make it even more urgent, maybe by 2030 already large parts of the fleets will switch over to trying to fools at least low emission fuels. but there are really impediments, and there's also the big impediments on the fishing industry once free access. so there's a lot of reasons why some actors are much moving slower

so this progress still on the weights and what has been done so far. a lot has been sad about that and mr. president has just talked about money. so the thoughts are and now we say a lot of attention, a lot of our attention is focused to was in there for through this, for the skill areas in progress, customs and creating the joint gas market shift also to new by new players in the period and those who want to be at the front line all dash a sanction where they will suffer than that. let's put it the because isn't it, can i mean we can, is that these attempts to impose economic war. and now that has already started against sort of story. so can you get the cost of the early report to a score as we've learned to withstand this sanction? so the radio, we got ourselves stronger and we talked about these traits. him in turnover between us is a testament to that, but we have to pay a lot of attention to countering, to sanction pressures or to go to the dentist. and we've talked about that today. i'm grateful to mr. president, for the instructions you have ju

we have made a lot of progress on this. more jobs were created last year than at any year in american history. unemployment has dropped more than any year in american history. we reduced the deficit while doing both those things by $300 billion. we lowered child poverty by nearly 40% in america. more than any year in american history as a consequence of the child tax credit. we are coming out on these challenges with the position of strength. this does not -- if you make less than $400,000, you're not paying a single penny more in taxes. it does not increase the deficit because it's paid for. they come to me and say they want to keep these programs going and increase corporate taxes to 24% which they are supposed to be. it's paid for, we know we invest in ourselves and is no limit to what we can achieve. with the leaders here, all of you know that all of the progress we made will be just the beginning. i promise you. we will do so much more and it will not increase the debt and will not increase taxes on anyone making less

historic economic progress. i'm proud of the role the administration played in this economic plan has played in the recovery. the rescue plan democrats passed to get the economy going again, the bipartisan infrastructure law has started to get under way, rebuilding bridges, roads, highways, airport, internet. so much more that we're doing as well. and my decision at the outset of our administration to buy american, it's always been the law, but seldom ever followed. now it's a reality, not an empty promise. i made clear that when the federal government spends taxpayer dollars we buy american products. american products, made in america. including all the component parts of that product. with very few exceptions. with the support of the american private sector our business leaders and entrepreneurs, our workers, our union leaders, they've all come together like never before in my days in washington. i know it hasn't been easy. i know that january was a very hard month for many americans. i know that after almost

that is not a progressive caucus response. and of course, working families party is a nonprofit organization, and they can ask any member that they want, and i'm sure that representative tlaib will have a lot of good things to say about president biden and the things we have done. but i just want people to understand the progressive caucus doesn't give a response to the president. we will all be out there talking about what we thought, and i believe that the president's going to raise some really important progressive priorities like anti-trust legislation, some of the great work he's done on anti-trust, can cutting costs for consumers. focusing on mental health and covid. i think these are really important pieces that he will talk about, and i do believe he'll talk about climate change and child care as well. so i think this is going to be a speech for progressives but really for the country in terms of what democrats have done and delivered. >> we can only hope, and we'll be watching. congresswoman pramila jayapal, thank you

bundles progressive. your home for savings. well, would ya look at that! bundles progressive.dent. i was— speaking of accidents, we accidentally left you off the insurance policy during enrollment, and you're not covered. not even a little bit? mm-mmm. no insurance. no. when employees can't enter and manage their own benefits enrollment information, it can be a real pain. not even— nope! with paycom, employees enter and manage their own hr data in a single, easy-to-use software. visit paycom.com and schedule a demo today. no one thinks about their hearing until you start losing it. and then you think about it a lot. this doesn't help and the whole process of getting them is a royal pain in the ..... ear. if only there was a better way. this is eargo, yes right here. incredible right? what's more you get all the support you need all from here. sitting right here. >>> welcome back. domestic affairs. a couple new developments and long-running investigations that used the key words of trump and clinton and can get everybody pretty fired up. let's separate fact from fiction. a lett

we made enormous progress in the past 50 years. since congress passed and president nixon signed into law the national cancer act and declared war on cancer, we learned cancer is not a single disease. we used to think it was a single disease. there are over 200 different types of cancer caused by genetic mutations in ourselves, and we discovered prevention and measures that extend and save lives. the death rate from cancer was largely unchanged, and then things began to change, and progress over the last 25 years, the death rate has fallen by more than 25%. here's the deal. despite the progress of lives extended and lives saved, cancer is still the number two cause of death in america. second only to heart disease. and the last two years of covid-19 pandemic has taken more -- the pandemic has taken more than 800,000 american lives, and that same period of time, cancer has claimed 1.2 million american lives. year in and year out. for too many patients and their families on -- diagnosed with cancer instead of hope, there's also b bea

and decided how we could work together to try to make progress. i remember particularly a good meeting in australia. one of the final pieces of legislation president obama signed into law was the 20th century cures act with the help of members of congress, particularly i know, the fred upton here? fred, you here? fred upton was part of it. dying to get in the house. to set up new cancer treatments can be evaluated faster. provide provided seven years of new funding, trial networks to discover new drugs and new efforts for childhood cancer. i presided over the overwhelming vote after the election had taken place, the presidential election, when everything is supposed to come to a screeching halt, a bipartisan vote to fund over $6 billion and i watched my friend, and is my friend. we disagree a lot. mitch mcconnell. stand there and ask unanimous consent to name the cancer provisions after our son, beau. cancer moon shot brought the country and the world closer together on this issue and when we left office, jim and i knew we had to keep it going. so

i think progressive is about progress just like conservative is about maintaining where we are cherishing those values. there is a distortion today in the sense that, when the country is so evenly divided, you need people that can bring us together. i became mayor for one reason. i did not run as a latino, i wanted to be a mayor for everybody. of course, i was proud. i speak spanish as well as anyone who grew up in an english-speaking home. i have always focused on issues -- i did healthy families, 750,000 kids got health care, 70% of them were latinos. at the end of the day, we need leaders that can bring us together, leaders for all of us and i call it the radical center, the center that moves us ahead, because if you have one party dominated by the extreme right, not conservatives, the extreme right, and another party maybe not dominated, but has a very vocal, ideologically pure left, when you govern, i tell people the way i governed as mayor was different than when i started out. you appointed me to the mta board. you grow, you realize they got elected, too, i do have got to work with
