S, THIS IS SOMETHING TRUE THAT IS VERY
DEEP TO INDIVIDUALS.
IT IS NOT JUST AN
POLICY.
WE HAVE A BREAK FOR HALF AN
HOUR.
IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES, WE WILL BE RESUMING WITH A DISCUSSION ABOUT
THE MEDIA, FAKE NEWS.
BEFORE WE GO, PEOPLE ON THE
TABLE, ALL OF THOSE IN THE
AUDIENCE, BUT ALSO, LEE, PAULA,

>> IN HIS WEEKLY ADDRESS, THE
PRESIDENT TALKS ABOUT HIS
LEGISLATIVE AGENDA, INCLUDING A
NEW BUDGET PROPOSAL AND BORDER
SECURITY. SENATOR TOM CARPER OF DELAWARE
DELIVERS THE DEMOCRATIC
RESPONSE, PAYING TRIBUTE TO
MEMORIAL DAY AND GIVING HIS
REACTION TO THE HEALTH CARE LAW.
>> MY FELLOW AMERICANS, EACH
MONTH, FAMILIES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY WORKED VERY HARD TO
BALANCE THEIR BUDGETS AND MAKE
THE TOUGH CHOICES NECESSARY TO
TAKE CARE OF THEIR LOVED ONES
AND GIVE THEIR CHILDREN
OPPORTUNITIES THEY NEVER HAD
BEFORE.
THIS IS WHO WE ARE AS AMERICANS.
WE TAKE PRIDE IN LEADING EACH
NEW GENERATION -- LEAVING EACH
NEW GENERATION A BETTER COUNTRY
THAN THE ONE WE HAD.
WASHINGTON HAS REFUSED TO MAKE
TOUGH DECISION.
THIS HAS TO CHANGE.
WE NEED A GOVERNMENT THAT SPENDS
ON THE RIGHT THINGS, THE SAFETY,
SECURITY, AND WELL-BEING OF OUR
PEOPLE, AND STOP THE WASTE AND
ABUSE OF TAXPAYER FUNDS WHETHER
IN AMERICA OR GLOBAL PROJECTS
OVERSEAS, OF WHICH PERHAPS THERE
ARE TOO MANY.
ADMIRED MINISTERS AND LAYING A
NEW FOUNDATION TO BUILD A FUTURE
ECONOMIC PROSPERITY AND ACHIEVED
AMERICAN GREATNESS.
THE BUDGET WE ARE PROPOSING WILL
REVERSE ECONOMIC STAGNATION AND
OPEN THE PATH TO MILLIONS OF
JOBS FOR AMERICAN WORKERS.
WE WILL BALANCE THE BUDGET WITHOUT MAKING CUTS IN SOCIAL
SECURITY AND MEDICARE.
WE WILL ACHIEVE OUR GOALS BY
DOING EXACTLY WHAT YOU DO IN
YOUR HOME, SETTING PRIORITIES,
CUTTING THE FAT, AND GROWING NEW
OPPORTUNITIES.
THE BIG THING FOR ME IS ECONOMIC
GROWTH, WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE
WITHOUT SAFETY AND SECURITY.
WE WILL GROW OUR ECONOMY.
IT IS GROWING ALREADY.
IT WILL GROW FASTER THAN YOU HAVE SEEN IN DECADES.
THAT IS WHY OUR BUDGET REVERSES
YEARS OF CUTS TO OUR MILITARY
THAT HAVE MADE US LESS SAFE IN A MORE DANGEROUS WORLD.
WE ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE THE
MEN AND WOMEN ARE THE FRONTLINES
OF FREEDOM, HAVE THE TOOLS THEY
NEED TO KEEP US SAFE AND TOTALLY
SECURE.
AT HOME, WE ARE GOING TO GET OUR
ICE OFFICERS, WHO HAVE DONE AN
EQUITABLE JOB, AND OUR BORDER
PATROL AGENTS, WHO ARE AMAZING
PEOPLE, EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO
END THE LAWLESSNESS ONCE AND FOR
ALL.
IT IS OUR MORAL DUTY TO KEEP OUR
CITIZENS SAFE AND FREE AND TO
PROTECT THE RIGHT OF EVERY
AMERICAN TO PURSUE THEIR DREAMS.
WE DO NOT WANT MS-13 ROAMING OUR
STREETS.
WE ARE GETTING RID OF THEM BY THE THOUSANDS.
THEY ARE GOING TO BE OUT OF HERE, BUT I AM PROUD TO TELL YOU
THAT THE FIRST BUDGET WE ARE
RELEASING PROVIDES A FIRM NEW
FOUNDATION FOR THE SAFETY
AND JOBS AND PROSPERITY FOR ALL
AMERICANS IN YEARS TO COME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE THE END
RESULT. >> A RETIRED NAVY CAPTAIN AND 23
YEAR VETERAN IN
