after 22 long years of majority misrule, let's change the united states congress. my gratitude tonight reaches far beyond this arena to countless friends whose confidence, hard work, and unselfish support have brought me to this moment. it would be unfair to single out anyone, but may i make an exception for my wonderful family--mike, jack, steve, and susan and especially my dear wife, betty. [applause] -- to join forces on a training field that has conditioned us all for the rugged contest ahead. [applause] let me say this from the bottom of my heart: after the scrimmages of the past few months, it really feels good to have ron reagan on the same side of the line.

and the chairman of the united states congress is antitrust committee david sicilia and has actuallycalled the 30 percent highway robbery and saying that apple is using this in order to bully smaller developers and to falling in line so what the president could this set then if they win their case would apple be forced us to lower the amount it takes from from game developers who use their platform. well i think that's a possibility but i think more than anything else perhaps they'd be forced to relinquish some sort of control of the market i mean if you look at fortnight which has hundreds of not as i said hundreds of millions of players worldwide analysts amounts of money merchandising all these different things. there's plenty of people who want to play it there's plenty of people who want to buy it. but because apple and google to a lesser extent have such a pervasive and monopolistic hold on the market even something as huge as foreign aid is having to wage this battle one can only imagine how hard it is for smaller developers to innovate and to then get a hold in this market we

essentially what he said was take f the funds that were provided in the cares act the states, united states congress provided about $150 billion to states to help during the early stages of this pandemic, both to help purchase things like ppe and also to address economic fallout. i should remind my colleagues that senator mcconnell was dead against that, even in the earlier version. you gon back and look at the debate in the record, you will find that he was dead set against providing any funds to state and local governments. that was the result of a compromise that we succeeded in pushing in those negotiations. but in these most recent negotiations, these most recent negotiations both the white house and again senator mcconnell and senate republicans took the position no funds for state and local government. i remember a few months back when asked, the republican leader, senator mcconnell said, let them go bankrupt. let them go bankrupt. well, there's a productive solution. he may have walked those comics back a little bit but he did not walk back his opposition to any funds for state and local gov

then she came back to the united states congress after she had lost the bid to become senator. jeanette rankin did serve an important role when she was in the house. they made her the chair of committee that we consider the nine to the amendment, even though she was only a freshman member of congress at the time. she did throw her support behind the amendment so women across the united states would have the right to vote. jan, you are next. i have a story to tell about my grandmother, who was born in 1869. she was 50 years old. ratified.mendment was my mother was talking to her. she was from north carolina, as was my grandfather. she was baptist. he was republican. she was democrat. my mother asked out right on election day, why are you going down to vote? you are only canceling each other out. she said, because i waited too long to get the right to vote and i am going to exercise it. from my grandmother. host: thanks for sharing the story with us. guest: that is a terrific story and this is a good occasion to share those stories from others, from grandmothers, from great-grand

united states out of the war. in naples in 1917, woodrow wilson asked congress to declare war on germany. bob lafollette was one of only six united states senators to oppose that war. he was concerned that only munitions makers, profiteers, would benefit from that as the people would suffer the loss of loved ones in the military. he was concerned that the government was not telling the people the full cost of the war. his principal concern was the suppression of civil liberties. in 1917, congress passed a bill called the espionage act. that bill didn't have anything to do with espionage. it was not about spying, it was about suppressing opposition to the war. newspapers could be shut down, and were shut down as a result of that. people were jailed for their criticism of the war, and bob lafollette believed the bill of rights was not repealed because the united states was at war. an event on september 20, 1917 was a critical turning point for lafollette. he gave a speech in st. paul minnesota, and at that meeting, bob lafollette was critical of the war effort. he said, "we have grievances a

a date which will live in infamy, the united states of america was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the forces of the empire of japan. i ask that the congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by japan on sunday, december 7, 1941, a state of war has existed between the united states and the japanese empire. >> the attack was part of a larger military plan to seize control of oil and other critical resources in the pacific rim. japan's goal was to destroy our ability to stand in their way. four days later germany and italy who were allied with japan declared war on the united states. roosevelt had the lead for some time but germany posed the greatest threat to america's long time security. when hitler and mussolini set their war machines against the united states roosevelt's concerns were proven justified and his need to respond was obvious. as the united states entered the war the situation was grim. japan had destroyed much of america emphasis west coast fleet and now controlled vast areas of the pacific. in the north atlantic german submarines continued their deadly campaign against supply ships bound for great britai

you know historically, it's inexcusable that we would not have full representation in the united states congress and so this should just not be about one any one state, we should be saying about this across the nation. women who are on that path and they should be encouraged -- i want to say that we should encourage and always support women who are running for office and support them knowing that -- that even if they are the first that they the are the one who's necessary to continue to break these barriers. i haven't achieved anything that i have without the support of many who believed in the possibility of someone who has never been there before being there. that's what we have to do across the nation. >> i want to also talk about this election, we're obviously seeing concerns over voter suppression, voter depression possibly, the need for, you know, turnout, the kind of turnout that you all are going to need to win in november in the pandemic. certainly i'm seeing a lot of black women in particular who are galvanized by the announcement of your joining this ticket, what do you think black wo

[applause] then, the worst pandemic in 100 years struck america. from early in this pandemic, the american people saw the leadership of this president shine forth. from before there was a single case of community transmission of coronavirus in the united states, president donald trump suspended all travel to the united states from china and set up a task force and said we will put the health of america first.

lafollette went on to united states congress as a member of the house of representatives and was a rather conventional congressmen, booted the party line but in the early 1890s something happened to bob lafollette that change him. 1891 he was called into the office of his the senator republican u.s. senator and sawyer was involved in a locked case which was going to be tried by lafollette's brother-in-law. sawyer offered lafollette a retainer for legal advisers. here's $50. you will get more if the case comes out right. lafollette said, i'm being bribed here and got up and walked out. his brother-in-law excused himself from the case. lafollette alienated himself from the rest of the republican party establishment. according to lafollette's own story that's when the insight hit him this is what politics right now is about. it's about money. it's about those who can afford to buy justice and those who can afford to buy offices. believe the system needed to be reformed. he spent the later part of the 1890s giving speeches all over wisconsin. if you wanted a speaker for your club or your grou
