how the united stes behaves vis-a-vis ukraine is a data point, but i would say, like, a tertiary one, and that has to be weighed against the more significant issue, which is how does this deplete not only u.s. weapon source but political capital and willingness to expendoney and other things just in a generic lyrical sense vis-a-vis a potential contest in asia -- a general political sense vis-a-vis a potential contest in asia? the logic that you have to fight china in ukraine is the same logic defenders of the war in vietnam applied to the contest in europe, and i just don't think that's true. i'm not inavor of cutting off support for the ukrainians. i think we should support ukrainia consistent with the genuine prioritization of china, and the critical thing we have to bear in mind is that we are not yet on the right trajectory in a good place. there's a good article in "the washington post" saying we need more of a sense of urgency to deter war. we are sort of pocketing -- there is a broader dynamic here. we are pocketing gains as if we have solved problems just because we have reco

high enrollments across all of our programse are reaching nearly half of the population of the united stes. it is a vast responsibility and your partnership is essential to ensuring that the peoplwe serve so many of home are your members get the healthcare they need to thrive. the enrollment is due to the biden hris administration investment in our health. i would like to discuss a f of our top priorities to ensure that all people are served by our programs, that they have a just opportunity to obtain their optimal health. marketplace coverage is now more affordable than ever and more than 16 million people signed up during this year's open enrollment. with expanded financial assistance continued by the inflation reduction act four of five people were able to find marketplace coverage for $10 or less a month after tax credits. we have also doubled down to reach people where they are. we made unprecedented investments to expand our enrollment organization footprint into nearly every county in the country. alongside our enrollment partners we targeted the hardest to reach communities and com

the united stes could avoid any political eagement, and exhibit a was. this article by thomas quigley, the nation warned readers that a recent artic by mr. hoover's former agent in hungary had boasted about this ousting of bela cou and at the sameime new republic would talk about thiss well. and interestingly, just like the soviet pre, they talked about how the soviet should shld take thioffer of aid with more with with more on standing than perhaps the the trojans had shown their hos of the same analogy broughtp agai and bacally at happens her is that ther's this fea that hungary was going to be reenacted again with the siet union. and hoover is furious when he res these articles and he bites the new republ's editors and assails th for aepting such statements as captain gregory's withouany inquiry as to their real bearing or credibily. likewise, ioa officials the at the headquarters in new york votes articles and votes letrs to the journalist saying that gregory was had created a story that came from vanity and jealousy. the new republic's columnist unm

i think that it is primarily, the united stes is a country that likes to pretend we don't have a classtem. i think this is a prime example of something that is deeply rooted in socioeconomic and lt , and if you know you know. if you don't know, you don't know. if you are of a certain socioeconomic class for you have friends who are, it is very likely that you know people who have sold asthma. if you grew up upper-middle-classr wealthy and you live in a wealthier area, it is very likely you n't know anyone and you assume that it is only the poorest of the poor. i thi that were just t very good at talking about class. we pretend it doesn't exist. we pretend it doesn't define every component of our lives. i think that selling plasma, while it is inedibly common and it has become a great source of income, we don't see it as -- i guess we don't seeeople who need to do itor that reason. at the same time, peopl who do need to sell plasma in order to get a gher income stream, i think theyave been discouraged from talking about it openly because a lot of people think of it as gross or achy. the

this episode, we'll hear from two presidents lyndon hnson and richard nixon lbj was preside of the united stes from 1963 to 1969, and during those turbulent years, he often invoked america's better gels in speeches. and he also talked about his vision of a great society. and went to the statue of liberty to sign an immigration bill. after the, we'll hear from richard nixon, 1969. richard nixon talked about the great sint majity. and in 1974, he resigned from office beginning now. here's lyndon johnson. president hatcher. governor romney. senators mcnamara and hart. congressman meader and stabler. and other members of theine michigan delegation. members of the graduating class. my fellow americans, it is a great pleasure to be here today. this universe today has been coeducational. since 1870, but i do not believe it was on the basis of your accomplishments that a detroit high schl girl said, and i quote, in choosing a college, you first haveo decide whether you want a coeducational school or an educational schl. wellwe canind bo here at chigan, althou perhaps a differt ours. came out here toda

united stes has always paid all of his bills on time and it should stay that way and that has been a core american value since 1789 regardless of party, presidents and congress have always honored our commitments and prioritization is effectively a default by another na. >> i appreciate you bringing us up to date on that. the reason i focused on protecting the full faith and credit of the united states is because this is explicitly within our jurisdictn. l's lk about double andards and tax enforcement. too much of the burden falls on working people in the middle class. it's easy for corrations and the wealthy to get away from cheating. it seems like republicans are trying hard to keep it that way. according to the congressional budget office it would've led to more tax avoidance by the wealthy. it would encourage billionaires to disguise their iome. there have been republican efforts to speed up hiring the highly trained experts that you need to crack down on tax cheati by the wealthy and businesses that have complicated business structures. the first bill out of the gate in the hous
