now the daily infection rate remains high, putting america in 4th place on the list of worst hit countries. and despite a federal appeals court blocking the vaccine requirement for firms, the surgeon general insists the measures on needed. the person in the administration wouldn't have put these requirements in place if they didn't think that they were appropriate and necessary. and the administration is certainly prepared to defend them for all those promises of healing. biden's america has become a tend to box rife with anger and division. and the latest vaccine mandate was just the thing to spock. the fire this mandate is unconstitutional, unlawful and unwise sir. biden vaccine monday is a shocking invasion of medical privacy and individual liberty, and we will not stand for it. i'm exploring every legal option to defend the rights of north caroline and against this unconstitutional mandate with president by to plan to mandate oxidation in all u. s. companies with over 100 employees, more than 2 dozen states have now come out swinging, determined to protect the rights of 84000000 worker

they're lopping zeros off much their currency in america. they seem to be dedicated at adding zeros on. but i have a question for you. i would like to get your thoughts on this shoot. this idea that mentoring a trillion coin is somehow going to mitigate the problems of the debt that america has and the debt to fault. so why can't we just be honest about this and say that amir to has defaulted on its, on its sovereign obligation because one trillion dollars as you point out with the roughly 30 trillion dollars in exposure. and if you add the unfunded liabilities of medicare medicaid, social security is closer to $300.00 trillion dollars, you know? and they could just as easily say, they're benting a $300000000.00 coin. as they say that they're mentoring a one fine dollar coin. they still believe, stacy, as i understand it, that this is a stop gap measure because at any moment now, and they've been saying the staff for 30 years, but at any moment now the g d p is going to start up, skyrocketing enough. so that income, so go up so that the tax

so is america? democracy is the country that's learning how to be a democracy, but it's not there yet. i wanted to make sure that my daughter would become a citizen of a democracy who is really engaged and not taking that democracy for granted. ah, with democracy in the ideal should definitely be one person when both in a simple way democracy is self governing. right. people choosing their own leaders, people being able to govern themselves that we're finding out that democracy requires the quality ah, with the development of technology in the development of a global system, it's becoming clear how unequal we are and how far we are from the values that we claim to have with it's important to think about when we set that intention right when we called ourselves democracy. and i think we spend the rest of our existence of the country a trying to get there with the song, hope them to play with the phone. what are the breaks with? yes. that, that, that, and i have spent a lot of time thinking and writin

how about we invade america? and we start trying to help america. when is, when is america gonna care about the women? and, you know, one out of 5 kids in america lives in poverty. so if you want to help people, why don't you give women and children want to have women, a living wage in the united states give them health care and give them an education . ironically, that's what the government up gavin ended up until we invented the taliban. if you took that there are 600000 according to statistics or 600000 homeless people in america, a lot of those are women. lot of those are children. now if you gave them each a $1000.00 stipend a month, a $1000.00 a month, to go get housing. that would cost $7200000000.00 a year. 7.2000000000. you know, we've been spending 2 trillion dollars or the last 20 years, 300000000 dollars a day to kill people to get it then. so the united states ever really cared about women. they could spend a $7200000000.00 to take care of the homeless people in the united states. give them a 1000 that they won't do it. so yet joe biden

because african americans are so woven into the history of america. june, teens is one example of that. i always was amazed by the story of june teeth, which was that it took a while for all americans and all african americans to realize the slavery has actually ended. and when that word came to galveston in texas, that day was known as june 10th. this is a very brief history. i know clean can do better. but the reason i want to explain that is because we have a commenter who want to ask you about jean tv and the whole idea of what you teeth means. so this is rashawn. yeah, this is rashawn skiwski me, if you could, my brain cell thinking that rashawn who sang june 13th is a very special holiday. it is now an official federal holiday in the united states . this is what he has to say about june 10th with june teeth becoming a federal holiday is a big deal in all americans should embrace it as celebrated as june 10th becomes our 11th federal holiday. but make no mistake. june teeth becoming a holiday is simply symbolic in nature. it does nothing to addre

right, well probably the greatest colonial playground for america has been latin america. and we now from reading john perkins book, confessions of an economic man that usually involved in comparing these countries with enormous debts. and if they don't pay, we sat in the ca and the assassins, and that's not high per billy, that's the starkly fact. one country is now stood up to the eye map and the ca and a dollar. that would be all salvador, the president to cali, openly mocking the i m f on twitter, and essentially summing his nose of them. it doesn't, this gave us some hope. charles. yes, it does, and in my, as you guys know, one of my little particular interests is, is within the crypto currency universe. i see a potential for a development in local crypto currency. so in other words, you can have global currencies like if they're in the coin. but locally, i'd like to see a country like el salvador, pursue a labor back crypto currency, in other words, local crypto currency. this issued for people actually doing useful work. and of course, that, that system, it idea her

america's new beginning. a program for economic recovery. i don't want it to be simply the plan of my administration. 50i78 here tonight to ask you to join me in making it our plan. together we can embark on it. [ applause ] together we can embark on this road. not to make things easy but to make things better. our social, political, and cultural as well as our economic institutions can no longer absorb the repeated shocks that have been dealt over the past decades. can we do the job in the answer is yes. we must begin now. we're in control here. there's nothing wrong with america that together we can't fix. i'm sure there are some that raise the federal don't touch my program. cut somewhere else. i hope i've made it plain, our approach has been even handed. the only programs -- for only the programs for the truly deserving needed remain untouched. are we simply going to go down the same path we've gone down before carving out one special program here and another special program there? i don't think that's what the american people expect of

let's get with it in america again. to big companies that send our best jobs overseas, my message is we need those jobs here at home. and our country won't help your business unless your business helps our country. to countries that close their markets to us, my message is, we will not be pushed around anymore. we will have a president who stands up for american workers and american businesses and american farmers in international trade. when i grew up and people ask us to imagine the future, we were full of dreams. but a few months ago when i visited a grade school class in texas and asked the children to imagine the future, they talked to me about nuclear war. lately, as we've neared the election, this administration has begun to talk about a safer world, but there's a big difference. as president, i'll work for peace from my first day in office and not from my first day of campaigning for re-election. as president, i'll reassert american values. i'll press for human rights in central america and for the removal of al

america today is a nation with great challenges. but greater resources an artist using statistics as a brush could paint two very different pictures of our country. one would have warning signs. increasing layoffs rising energy prices too many failing schools persistent poverty. stubborn messages of racism another picture would be full of blessings. a balanced budget big surpluses a military that is second to none. a country at peace with its neighbors technology that is revolutionizing the world. and our greatest strength concerned citizens who care for our country and care for each other. neither picture is complete in and of itself. and tonight i challenge and invite congress to work with me to use the resources of one picture. to repaint the other to direct the advantages of our time to solve the problems of our people. some of these resources will come from government. some but not all. year after year in washington budget debate seemed to come down to an old tired argument. on one side those who want more government regardless

called the by america act. it's supposed to make sure that when your government spends your tax dollars buying goods that they have to be goods that were built, purchased in america. but the previous administration didn't take it so seriously, not just the last one. they are quick to say you know, we have a lot of money to spend. the government is going to buy everything from buildings to aircraft carriers to trucks to whatever it is that we can't find an american company that can do it all so we have to issue a waiver. that company is going to have a subsidiary overseas where it's much cheaper they can make more money and they are going to say we have to have that as part of the chain of building the product. the result has been tens of billions of dollars. didn't go to jobs and businesses and communities like this one. in the recent years, it's become a hollow promise that my administration is going to make by american a reality and i am putting the weight of the federal government behind that commitment. in

the opioid epidemic has taken a toll on rural america and now a broader toll on all of america. the life expectancy in the u.s. has shrank for the last three years even before the pandemic, which is something that has not happened in 100 years since the spanish flu. there is a minor technical change in the census and that they gave more people the opportunity to call themselves multiracial or members of other races. no matter how you slice it, there are fewer white people in the u.s. today than there were a decade ago. host: the second take away on the flipside of that is that every state in the u.s. got more diverse. guest: all of the growth in the u.s. over the last decade because that white population shrank, all the 27 .2 million people of the u.s. added over the last decade came from minority populations. the hispanic population grew the largest. they are up to 18.6% of the united states. the african-american community group a smaller amount. the asian-american community is the fastest growing community in america. a lot of people will say this is driven by migration. it is

this is because, well, brazilians were very interested in this scott america to begin with. what made it worse was that it was a sports event that turn into a political discussion. because when president wilson decided to accept a whole tournament here, just as brazil was nearing one half a 1000000 dead by coven 19, and that brazil reached that landmark in the midst of the pen damage. so there was widespread criticism, and even a year there were people that were cheering for messy, but brazilian say that a couple america isn't that important for them? they're really worried about what's going to happen in the world top next year. and basically that said here at the end of the game in this bar, that's right behind me. when the game ended, there's some people shouted ok, it's a defeat for you both. so nato out there is 63 percent of resilience. now think he's been capable of governing. so this mixture of politics and ford did play a part in dampening the enthusiasm for the cup america here in brazil, the private space races finally hit as one of 3000000000 businessmen is close

when america's made -- america made 12 years of public education universal 12 years ago -- occasion universal years ago. if we had none, we would say, what are we going to do? we need free public education. does anyone think we would think 12 years was enough in the second quart of the 21st century? the fact is today, only half of three or four-year-olds in america are getting early childhood education. in germany, france and the u.k., even latvia, a number of children in those countries enrolled is 90%. 90%. my plan gets us back on track. provides two years of high quality preschool for every child in america. it also makes investments in higher education by increasing pell grant. i don't know that i can get it done, but i have also proposed free community college, like you've done here in the state of connecticut, to help students from lower income families attend community college at four-year schools and invest in historically black colleges and universities, make sure that everyone has a shot at good paying jobs in the future. we also extend this lady's child tax credit.

either way that's not good for america. another enduring principle is that we need countries to cooperate now more than ever. not a single global chllenge that affects your lives can be met by any one nation acting alone, not even one as powerful as the united states. and there is no wall high enough or strong enough to hold back the changes transforming our world. that's where the institution i'm privileged to lead comes in. it's the role of the state department and america's diplomats and development workers to engage around the world and build that cooperation. president biden has pledged to lead with diplomacy because it's the best way to deal with today's challenges. at the same time we'll make sure we continue to have the world's most powerful armed forces. our ability to be effective diplomats depends in no small measure on the strength of our military. and in everything we do, we'll look not only to make progress on short-term problems but also to address their root causes and lay the groundwork for our long-term st

so the gulf of mexico, you would see america take very, very clinical. ready response, it is no different for russia in the black sea with it, but it's very interesting, patrick it. ukraine is also necessary for nato because ukraine gives nato a reason to exist. ok, because they, they claim nato's opposition is that it's a defensive alliance. and then it projects stability. however, army ever more sophisticated weapons to kim is the stabilizing. it's the stabilizing to be the conflict that is going on inside of ukraine. we need to remind our viewers. this is an intra ukraine conflict that i believe the west ones russia to be involved in is always said this is an internal conflict dom bass of course. but if the dumbasses attacked, which would basically be a form of ethnic cleansing, of the don bass rush is. this is a red line here. so again, adding all the elements for a possible military action is as we just heard, mark to say, if this could happen by accident, but i have a feeling lot of people in washington in london would love to see an accident. go a

and wanted to come to america to see america. they wanted to take a look at america and i can recall almost everyone who left my office, sometimes tears streaming down her cheeks thing that we plenty like america. we are the envy of the world. and that's why so many people want to be like we are. so we have liberties with aglow that will truly like the world that is what america is truly about. we are much more than a place on the map, we are the united states rated climax and we are a beacon of hope and we are a magnet to the oppressed, and a shield against those who up with the sold themselves into bondage. and i think we did that inchoate, and we may be called on to do it again. but i would guess the one thing that i would hope to make all of the amendments and bills and do all of the commentaries that whatever it is all over us we left our children something other than a legacy of debt. when our children, then none of us had a perfect solution but there's gotta be some solution it or come together the republicans and the demo

for america is working poor. hey, we're going to take a break when we come back much for coming your way with the british and american governments have often been accused of destroying lives in their own interests. what you see in this, these techniques is the state devising methods to essentially destroy the personality of an individual by scientific means. this is how one doctor's theories were allegedly used in psychological warfare against prisoners deemed a danger to the state. that was the foundation for the method of psychological interrogation, psychological torture, this year, disseminated within the u. s. intelligence community and worldwide among allies for the next 30 years. and how to make them say they still live with the consequences today. oh is your media reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way? or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend.

when we speak of america's priorities the first priority must always be peace for america and the world. [applause] the major immediate goal of our foreign policy is to bring an end to the war in vietnam in a way that our generation will be remembered not so much as the generation that suffered in war, but more for the fact that we had the courage and character to win the kind of a just peace that the next generation was able to keep. [applause] we are making progress toward that goal. the prospects for peace are far greater today than they were a year ago. a major part of the credit for this development goes to the members of this congress who, despite their differences on the conduct of the war, have overwhelmingly indicated their support of a just peace. by this action, you have completely demolished the enemy's hopes that they can gain in washington the victory our fighting men have denied them in vietnam.

they believe in america. they believe in the limitless capacity of the american people. if you look at the history of this nation, what becomes crystal clear -- not a joke -- given half a chance, the american people never ever, ever, ever let their country down. we are about giving them a full chance this time. and when we do, there will be no stopping us. i truly believe, 50 years from now, folks will look back and say, this was the moment, this was the period, this year and the next couple years, when america decided to win the competition of the 20th century, to get into the game full bore, so my message is to get to work. let's get this done. god bless you all and protect our troops. i will take a few questions. >> the election results, how did they bring this bill to the finish line, and how did you bridge the gap between moderate and progressive's? -- between moderates and progressives. >> i will not be facetious. i will not be a prognosticator about how the election could or would have been different. each state is different but i think the one message that came a

they have watched the taliban defeat america. in effect, president buttons, poor judgment produced the worst possible outcome in afghanistan in only a matter of weeks. even criticism from the media was generally bipartisan secretary blank, and how did president invite and get this so wrong? how could officials have missed fish? how did it happen? how do we get here? does president abide not bear the blame for this disastrous exit from afghanistan? another 3 years of fighting and we're going to be lucky if we have a single ally left. america is back. that was biden's famous promise. but after a colossal failure in america's longest war, ever, many are starting to wonder if he meant america's turning its back on everyone's trust. so another news tonight, the washington d. c. capital police officer who fatally shot a trump supporter in the general 6 riots is being played by an internal probe. the case has become a political cause, with some republicans hailing the victim us air force veteran ashley 5 it as a matter of cold, mocking.
