it's often said america is an idea. it is. but it is far more it is a real particular nation with real borders and flesh and blood people who share a language in the history and culture. america's leaders have loyalty to the american people we respect their interest in aspirations first america first is partly because of the world war ii that to the jacksonians it sounds like simple obvious common sense if we don't let america first two will? our party must reject the ideology of globalism which claims that wide open borders and might open markets are the path of prosperity for all. and that her —- america shuttered factories boarded at main streets stand as a grand monument to rebuke the theory. there is no form products into the nation we don't know the privileges of citizenship by those unbound of the obligation and responsibility of citizenship immigration trade policy should protect and serve the interest of the american people america has always welcomed immigrants to share principles and want to assimilate the customs

there is the school of americas in panama, where officers of south america, of latin america, were trained by the cia. so, it's a very complicated thing, but the country that has no army since 19118 is costa rica, and costa rica is doing better than any other country, in that sense. so i wish we could either incorporate the armed forces into the civilian life or eliminate them. we don't need them. i mean, you mentioned the role of america and, of course, your uncle, salvador allende, was removed in a coup that was backed by the ciam and you said in 2014 that america would never allow another socialist government to take power in south america. but that's not really the case, is it? i mean, as you said, we've seen left—of—centre governments come to power now. is that a view that you've now changed your mind about? well, the world has changed and politics have changed, everywhere. during the time of allende, it was the time of the cold war. and when i said that the united states would have never allowed it, it was because it was part of that political... ..political struggle of the unite

[laughter] [applause] >> but seriously, he said can you define america for me. he's a tough guy. and i said i can. in one word and he looked at me. i said possibilities. we're the only nation in the world. it's the reason why that is sometimes arrogant. we think anything is possible if we act together. look, you've taken every crisis we've ever faced and turn it into an opportunity. whatever the crisis was, we've come out of it better than we were in before. every single time. but we've got to stick together. we've got to stick together. we can do this again. we can do it. look i'm going to get going. ,

but a strong america abroad begins on a strong america at home. that term depends on a strong republican party. two presidents helped make me a republican. called me up on a small farm in arkansas. the first unsurprisingly was bill clinton. the second was ronald reagan, the first president i could remember. i was too young to follow the political dramas under reagan presidency, but i recall the feeling he inspired in my young mind, confident and safe from the russia. confident after the disaster. proud of america and optimistic about our future. for reagan's greatness went beyond the feelings he inspired. many people talk about president reagan's optimism. he helped build a nation that had good reason to be optimistic. no doubt the smile and hollywood charm help, but it was his idea, patriotism and his strength that revitalized the american dream. ronald reagan understood what every officeholder must remember, we are elected first and foremost to protect the american people, their proper is -- asperity and their freedom. -- prosperity and their fr

by the way, when i say buy america, i mean all america. i want to increase federal spending on goods and services that go to small businesses, the backbone of our country. last year, i released a plan, increased at the number of contacts that go to small disadvantaged businesses by 50% by 2025. this means more contracts will go to black, brown, native american, women-owned businesses in every state and territory, in every industry from services to manufacturing to agriculture. we have already seen success. women-owned businesses have won contracts to provide masks to the government, veteran owned small businesses are producing specialty trucks and trailers for the department of veterans affairs and to the army. we have seen other successes that will allow us to make synthetic rubber gloves in alabama, fibers that go into n95 masks, shipping containers in maryland and the list goes on. here is what it adds up to, today i am placing a bet on america. everyone here is going to make sure that it pays off, everybody on the stage. i will say tod

america down. i remember in my book. i wrote about what taylor branch wrote in his book. american and king years. he said in 1954 that the common turn and soviet union sent their spies. he had infiltrated the rice movement it gave him instruction to make the black community a direct replica of the soviet bloc. and they've done it. one party rule dictatorship apostate religion broken family poverty drug abuse alcoholism you name it and it's working and people try to say well capitalism. has destroyed the black community capitalism socialism and you go see you socialism has destroyed true. it's not capitalism, you five minutes. we have left and i thank you so much for writing this book. 25 lies exposing democrats most dangerous seductive damnable destructed lives and how to refute them. give us hope what can people do to turn this around are can they thank you for that armstrong because that is hope. the hope is that there's still a strong christian community out there. the thing that's upheld this c

but you know, america, well, we worked together years ago at the new america foundation. and i know you know, this country right now. you have some republican leaders in the united states senate. you have a former us president that keep lauding vladimir putin as a, as a savvy genius. you have real ambivalence through a lot of the american public about ukraine and what it represents at all to american interest. not looking at the broader nato parts of this. but there is a kind of trend inside the united states. folks where whether you called it america 1st, but a sort of tendency to disregard the benefits that come from the kind of american engagement in the world. and i'd be interested in what you think about american public opinion going a different direction than, than we've just articulated with what's happening with military resolve and nato. well, i think anyone who expresses admiration any more for the person's intelligence is crazy. frankly, i used to admire him as a savvy operator, but clearly, i mean, what he's done in ukraine proves, recklessness, foolishness, e

being america is hard. you know i'm being america so hard? it's always beenn hard because america is not normal. let me tell you what a mean by that. is what's normal. almost every person that is ever lived on earth that's had no freedom, hundreds of billions of people who have lived threat 5500 years of human record history look at almost every one that's ever walked the earth the overwhelming majority people that have ever lived lived and play for the didn't get to pick their leaders, they didn't havee any rights, rights or whatever the latest lavinha to have. that's how most people never live. thisel phenomenon of what we cal democracy in our republic in liberty it's a modern phenomena. the american revolution, what was revolutionary about is it had this audacious ideas that your rights are from god come not from a government, not from leaders. [applause] so being america's hard. because being america's unusual compared to human history. you know, or the fascinating things human beings live very differently in terms of technology how you d

but america's government has been ratcheting up its support in other ways. today biden announced that america would be spendo sending another 800 million worth of military aid to ukraine. and aside from the american government, the american people have also taken it upon themselves to step up and help ukraine. and i'm not just talking about the usual ways like donating money and putting a ukrainian flag on the twitter handle, the flag emoji is making a huge difference. but people are finding more creative ways to help out. >> inspired by these images of ukrainian displaced by the invasion of their country, americans are finding inventive ways to help. >> turning pain into purpose, sasha created an amazon wish list of items needed in ukraine. the response overwhelming. one truck after another dropping off do nailted goods. 40,000 and counting. >> people are booking airbnb's in ukraine with no plans of staying there. the initiative which gained popularity on social media is a way to give money to ukrainians impacted by the war. more than 61,000 nights were boo

in america combined. i still won. 36 years in a row. the point is even they understand should pay just a fair share last year, 55 of the fortune 500 companies. earned 40 billion dollars in profit and paid 0 in federal it's not fair. >> that's why i proposed a 15% minimum tax rate for corporations. that's why and the g 7 other meetings overseas were able to put together. i was able to be somewhat helpful. 130 countries degree on a global minimum tax rate. so companies can get out of paying their taxes at home by shipping jobs in factories overseas and raising billions of dollars. that's why proposed closing loopholes for the very wealthy who don't pay paying a lower tax rate than a teacher in a firefighter. so that's my plan. but we have to go more detail later. i'm going to grow. we will grow the economy, lower the cost to families. so what are we waiting for? let's get this done. we all know we've got to make change. confirm my nominees for the federal reserve. >> plays critical role. and fighting inflat

there hasn't been a regime change in america. we haven't arrived at the idea of who do we not want anymore and who do we want. we are seeing many more arguments and discussions about statues rather than, all right, that one is off. >> what was different this time? there were periods in american history -- let's say the late 1960s, when large numbers of protesters were just as angry about the rights and living conditions of minorities and women. why did the protest take this specific form this time? why this now? from the research you conducted for your book. >> there is a book by karen cox that compliments my book in looking at the history of protests against confederate monuments up until 2017. so she finds some people discussing even century, any time we walk through the city square, we would have something sharp to scrape away at the statue of john c. calhoon or whoever to see we weren't accepting the statue. student protests in the '60s and '70s that would paint messages on confederate statues. but i think that in that period

america will lead that effort. releasing 30 million barrels and we stand ready to do more if necessary. united with our allies. these steps will help want gas prices at home. i know news about what is happening can seem alarming to all americans. but i want you to know we are going to be ok. we are going to be ok. when the history of this era is written, prudence war in ukraine will have left russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger. [applause] while it should not take something so terrible for people around the world to see what is at stake, now everyone sees it clearly. we see the unity among leaders of nations, a more unified europe, a more unified west. we see unity among the people gathering in cities and large crowds around the world even in russia to demonstrate their support for the people of ukraine. the battle between democracy and autocracy, democracies are rising to the moment. the world is clearly choosing the side of peace and security. this is the real test. it is going to take time. let's co

when america produces their own energy, america is stronger and the world is safer. yes, sir. reporter: following up on the question, what did you make of the pentagon saying that the move to get those plens to ukraine via germany was untenable? mr. mccarthy: i think they're wrong. i think the longer they take the more people will die. i don't understand, tuck supply them with the javelin and poland wants to give them migs and they want to defend themselves, why won't you allow somebody to defend themselveses? especially if they believe in freedom. this was unprovoaked. putin is evil. what he's dong to these people is devastating. it's not just america flew to the set. the world is watching this. they're asking to defend themselves. they never once asked for american men and women in uniform to come and fight. all they want is not to fight with sticks. allow them that opportunity. and the longer you wait, this just goes back to the very point if you have the intel that they were going to invade, would you really think the best question is, i'll put sanctions on you after you i

by the way, when i say buy america, i mean all of america. i want to increase federal spending on goods and services that go to small businesses, the backbone of our country. last year, implant increased at the number of contacts that go to small disadvantaged businesses by 50% by 2025. this means more contracts will go to black, brown, native american, women-owned businesses in every state and territory, in every industry from services to manufacturing to agriculture. we have already seen success. businesses have won contracts to provide masks to the government, veteran owned small businesses are producing specialty trucks and trailers for the department of veterans affairs and to the army. we have seen other successes that will allow us to make synthetic rubber gloves in alabama, fibers that go into n95 masks, shipping containers in maryland and the list goes on. here is what it adds up to, today i am placing a bet on america. everyone here is going to make sure that it pays off, everybody on the stage. i will say today what we have seen in

america's fiscal house was flooding. and the democrats chose to raise the roof rather than stop the flooding. on a party-line vote, democrats voted to impose the largest nominal increase in the debt cap in the history of our country. and in doing so, once again, denied all reality that their out-of-control spending would directly result in inflation, the steep and cruel tax leveed on all -- levied on all americans. would you think after passing so many spending bills in the trillions of dollars that they would be able to pass a standard government funding bill. you would be wrong. congressional democrats and president biden have not achieved this once. in fact, we are already almost half way through the current fiscal year and in an ironic twist are still operating under the spending priorities of president donald trump. that is until the house votes on the democratic appropriations bills tomorrow which we have yet to read and will likely cost taxpayers additional trillions of dollars. trillions of dollars spent. what do

it's never been more crucial for house republicans to save america. we remain unified to fire nancy pelosi who was lame-duck can put forward a solution for hard-working families fighting for american energy independence by unleashing jobs and unleashing growth. and then peace through strength to hold the chinese communist party accountable , raining in the trillions of dollars of reckless spending standing of our constitution and for a parent when it comes to their kids education. the retreat is focused on this forward-looking agenda and today you will hear from the leaders from the task force are working to develop interference these policies. i'm honored to take turn it over to the future of american freedom, jim jordan speak joe biden in the democrats literally have messed up every single thing they have tried to do secure border to chaos to energy independence to have the president of the united states bag opec's and venezuela to increase production we went from relatively say street in record levels of congress stable prices to a four-year high i

i think america will be watching. will we stand for america and for freedom? would we stand for president zelensky who didn't take the advice of president biden and leave his country. who doesn't ask for men and women from america to come to fight. he just asks to provide some weapons so they can defend against putin. the sad part about that, mr. speaker, every day that we allow crude or natural gas to come from russia, american money is going to putin. let's top that today. with that i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. mcgovern: mr. speaker, the world is watching. and i'm not going to be lectured by someone who takes their marching orders from donald trump who said that putin's invasion of ukraine was a genius and savvy move. i'd like -- i wish the gentleman would have condemned that. listening to that speech you would think that joe biden invaded ukraine. he spent all this time criticizing joe biden, john kerry, and everybody else. hardly criticized putin. i also wish because i th

america. over the last few years, i have put my faith in iowans and they haven't let me down. i encourage this president to do the same, to put his faith in you, the american people who have never wavered annual belief in this country regardless of who leads it, because you know, you have shown that the soul of america isn't about who lives in the white house, it is men and women like you in every corner of this nation who are willing to step up and take responsibility for your communities, neighbors and ultimately for yourself by that most important measure at least. the state of our union is indeed strong. thank you. god bless you and god bless the united states of america. peter: that was kim reynolds from des moines. she was appointed governor in 2017 when governor terry branstad became ambassador to china in the trump administration. she won on her only 2018. time to hear your voices. what do you think the state of the union is? what did you think of president biden's speech at the republ

a harbinger of more covid in america. man, and look, i will say this, before you panic, remember, remember, most people are vaccinated, they will be a lot fewer deaths and hospitalizations than before. even if cases shoot up. remember, that is the most important thing. so we're not necessarily going back to the bad old days when every day you were scared that one of your loved ones might send you that imagine video. i don't know, trevor, this, this covid, this srnt the weak ass 2020 peace time covid, this is the 2022 coming out of european war covid. this is going to be strong covid. this covid survived like a direct nuclear hit, st going to come to america. it's going to infect everybody, you know, it's going to be tough, people will get sick from it. it will call you the "n" word. >> trevor: what? >> it's going to look through your tweets and find offensive stuff and get you cancelled. i mean honestly i'm reading reports that this spike will be really bad in a few weeks, especially on april 5th. so i suggest on that dat

america, more goods, moving faster and cheaper, in america. more jobs which can earn a good living in america. instead of relying on foreign supply chains, let's make it in america. [applause] pres. biden: look, economists -- >> u.s.a.! pres. biden: economists call this increasing the productive capacity of our economy. i call it building a better america. [applause] pres. biden: my plan to curb inflation will lower your cost and lower the deficit. 17 nobel laureates in economics that my plan will ease long-term inflationary pressures. top business leaders, and i believe most americans support the plan. here's the plan. first, cut the cost of prescription drugs. [applause] pres. biden: we pay more for the same drugs produced by the same companies in america than any other country in the world. just look at insulin. one co. in 10 americans has diabetes. in virginia, i met a 13 euros boy, a handsome young man standing up there, joshua davis. he and his dad both have type one diabetes, which means they need insulin every single day. insulin costs

all of them across america. federal lands, private lands banned it. he can reverse that today and he needs to. not a single new permit for a not a single new pipeline or an l.n.g. permit where we can be exporting more natural gas to our friends around the world. there are dozens of those permits sitting on the biden administration's desk ready to go privately funded to send secure american energy, cleanest in the world, to our allies so they don't need to get it from putin or any other bad dictator. and when you think about the cost, just leading up to the invasion, putin was pocketing $700 million a day, a day from selling his oil to the united states and europe. those days need to end. president biden can end that today. and we would stand with them but we continue to call on president biden to do the right thing. say no to russian oil. but then say yes to american oil. he can do it with a stroke of a pen, and we stand willing to work with him to get that done. we'll continue to urge that to happen. be happy to take some questions. reporter: another

, for america. every darn decision for oil and gas production and mineral production in the country has to be approved by this acting assistant secretary. guess what, madam president? this memo is still in operation. right now. right now. when the president of the united states looks at the american people and jen psaki, oh, we're doing everything -- no, you're not. you have got one person and this order. so -- and think about -- i'm not going to go into her background much. she spent a whole career trying to take out the oil and gas industry. now she's in charge of every decision for every permit on every federal lease for the production of american energy in the country, and she's still in charge. you got one person. now -- and by the way, this is a political appointee. i don't think she's going to get confirmed because i'm going to block her -- that's for sure -- but even some of my democratic completion -- colleagues are, like, this is going on right now. my friends in the media, i hope you fake

this we heard a lot about america, i'm gonna, we might have it we, you might defied it as america 1st. this is a lot of donald trump talk and not just donald trump talk. every american president talks about buying american and doing more. and american rebuilding american putting america 1st. donald trump used very inflammatory rhetoric that joe biden doesn't uses a different style. but it's still very much the same. a content about putting america 1st, putting american jobs 1st, american manufacturers 1st. it's a bit naive because of course we do live in a globalized society, global i decided the, i say it's very proud to say that they built right. we made this global rules based order where people can trade freely, read each other and buy from each other and compete with each other as, as a bit of a contradiction to say, we're going to bring it all back home. and it's also been impossible because of course, resources come from everywhere. parts come from everywhere, may be finished products to be built more in america. but again to on, to on, on micro chips alone, the majority of the

let's make it in america. look, economists -- [ applause ] [ chanting usa ] economists call this increasing the productive capacity of our economy. i call it building a better america. my plan to fight inflation will lower your costs and lower the deficit. 17 nobel laureates in economics said my plan would ease long term inflationary pressures. top business leaders, and i believe most americans support the plan, and here's the plan. first, cut the cost of prescription drugs. we pay more for the same drug produced by the same company in america than any other country in the world. just look at insulin. 1 in 10 americans has diabetes. in virginia, i met a 13-year-old boy, the handsome young boy standing up there, joshua davis. he and his dad both have type 1 diabetes, which means they need insulin every single day. insulin costs about $10 a vial to make. that's what it costs the pharmaceutical company. drug companies charge families like joshua and his dad up to 30 times that amount. i spoke with joshua's mom. i

, the united states of america. god bless you all and may god protect our troops. thank you. go get 'em! >> o'donnell: the president tonight promising a unity agenda and, at the same time, heralding the power of democracy and at many points throughout this speech getting standing bipartisan applause. john dickerson. >> there was a good long portion and ended on bipartisan applause, everybody joining in solidarity with the ukrainians. the masks were gone but the ukrainian flags were there and that will certainly symbolically note this evening. but then the president after the edits that came from ukraine went to what was pretty much a regular old state of the union stew pot with everything in it. he has not shrunk from, though tried to retool his build back better, the new economic vision for america. democrats are talk act that faced on taxes and corporations and his build back better agenda he billed -- >> o'donnell: he called out the russian president at least 19 times in this speech. >> he has the biggest megapho

and so it, will it be made in america? it's in order to make those three things true that there has to be policy role. and that policy roller for us according to this law includes investing in the network of 500,000 electric charges across the country. and a lot of you have already been promoted or installing or sometimes municipally owning and operating electrical is judging his truck. that's good because i don't think we're going to saying half 1 million federally owned and operated electric vehicle charging stations around the country. our job is to buy down the difference so that they are actually equitable and provide you with the tools to help the ground where they should be cited. so we're teaming up with the department of energy to get that done through the joint office of energy and transportation. also, when it comes to climate, i have to talk, because you all, and you live this, mere suarez, and everybody in a different way, and certainly [inaudible] we're not just talking about preventing climate change from ge

so the america competes act is an important part of that agenda. and it's something that i think we'll be able to get over the legislative finish line. as pete indicated, you are going to hear our colleagues talk about unleashing the potential for america. where were they when president biden and democrats in the house and the senate were passing the american rescue plan to lay the foundation to help rescue and save the economy and create 7.4 million good-paying jobs? where were they when president biden put in place a series of policies to create the fastest rate of economic growth in 40 years? where were my republican colleagues when it relates to the efforts that were under way led by president biden to lower unemployment to prepandemic levels of 3.8%? they were missing in action. that's the answer. so the notion that they want to now come here and lecture us when vladimir putin is the one responsible if gas prices increase significantly here in america. vladimir putin. and they shouldn't provide any aid and comfort to him, a brutal dictator. we
