The overall EV sector will most likely bottom out following a sharp selloff in recent months.Let us compare two trending EV stocks, Nio and Rivian, and see what Wall Street analysts are saying about these EV giants.Nio (NYSE: NIO) has dropped 41% over the past year. Recently, however, it recovered from its lows following a pledge by the Chinese central bank to keep capital markets stable and stimulate economic growth.Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN), on the other hand, has plunged over 55% in the last twelve months.NioFounded in 2014, and headquartered in Shanghai, NIO is a Chinese multinational automobile manufacturer specializing in EVs. Nio has gained leadership in the premium EV segment, as its solid battery technology, attractive pipeline as well as targeted global expansion could be strong catalysts spurring future growth.Despite being in the development stage, Nio has an impressive order book and strong demand for its models in the high-end EV market.However, like its peers, Nio is expected to face margin pressures in FY2023 due to input costs escalations. On top of that, Nio’s margins will further feel the squeeze from higher research and development (R&D) and capital expenditures, as it invests aggressively in R&D and new products.During the recently reported mixed December-end fourth quarter, Nio deliveries improved significantly at 44.3% year-over-year to 25,034 EVs and included 5,683 ES8s, 12,180 ES6s, and 7,171 EC6s. For full-year fiscal 2021, Nio delivered 91,429 EVs, implying a robust 109.1% year-over-year growth over FY20.In terms of the product pipeline, Nio unveiled three new models in 2021 and will add three new models during 2022: ET7 premium sedan, mid-size premium sedan ET5, and SUV ES7.Following the Q4 results, Nick Lai from J.P. Morgan reiterated a Buy rating and $30 price target on Nio. Investors could be pocketing returns of 50.68%, should Lai’s thesis play out as expected.For FY22, Lai forecasts significant year-over-year growth of 78% in Nio’s sales volumes based on the upcoming launches in FY22 as well as new capacity from mid-2022.In the long run, the analyst believes content and software monetization will gain a higher share in revenues/profit and could lead to a change in the business model in the automobile industry.The Street is also bullish about the stock with a Strong Buy consensus rating based on 14 Buys and two Holds. Meanwhile, the average Nio average price target of $45.51 implies 120% upside potential from current levels, at the time of writing.Rivian AutomotiveFounded in 2009, Rivian is an American EV manufacturer and automotive technology company. Rivian makes an upscale truck and a sport utility vehicle, both designed to be driven off-road and can support future vehicles.Recently, Rivian reported weaker-than-expected Q4 results lagging both earnings and revenues expectations.Rivian’s adjusted loss of $2.43 per share was much inferior to the street’s estimated loss of $1.64 per share. Revenues at $54 million also failed to keep up with the consensus estimate of $61.2 million. During the year, the company delivered 920 vehicles, out of which 909 vehicles were delivered in Q4.According to Vijay Rakesh, an analyst at Mizuho Securities, Rivian could see some relief during the second half of 2022 with even higher deliveries expectations in the forthcoming years.Rakesh expects deliveries of 23000, 86,000, and 189,000 in the coming years of FY2022, FY2023, and FY2024, respectively, noting that some additional units were pushed out into FY2023 from FY2022 due to supply and other constraints.Rakesh continues to believe that Rivian is a strong pure-play EV in the early stages of ramping and well-positioned to grow at a strong compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30% till 2030.According to TipRanks’ analyst rating consensus, Rivian is a Moderate Buy, based on 10 Buys and five Hold ratings. The average Rivian analyst price forcast is $76.08, implying 69.07% upside potential.ConclusionFor now, analysts are bullish on both stocks, albeit both the companies acknowledged the impact of the near-term economic and supply chain headwinds on their deliveries during their recent earnings calls.Once supply constraints start to ease in the second half of 2022, continued strong demand and a ramp-up in production should drive a re-acceleration in deliveries and revenue in 2H22.However, based on upside potential over the next 12 months, Nio seems to be a better Buy than Rivian.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":609,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9019105320,"gmtCreate":1648549648367,"gmtModify":1676534352678,"author":{"id":"4088594279252790","authorId":"4088594279252790","name":"RoosterCK","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/95d82027a8a87481178ec45908742b11","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088594279252790","authorIdStr":"4088594279252790"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy buy buy&nbsp;[Miser]&nbsp;","listText":"Buy buy buy&nbsp;[Miser]&nbsp;","text":"Buy buy buy [Miser]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9019105320","repostId":"2222889107","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2222889107","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1648520788,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2222889107?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-03-29 10:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Palantir: Emerging From The Ashes","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2222889107","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"We think the bottom is in for Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) stock.

In all seriousness this was something we had said in late February when Palantir stock all but reset back to trade just about at its direct public offering price. The thing is that technology stocks, especially those that are potential game-changing names, are often extremely expensive in the early stages. You really cannot value them on an earnings basis because there are no earnings to be had. What <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> has to do is determine if what the company offers will solve enough headaches for customers that eventually the growing sales turn into profits. For years many of these stocks will lose money. But they lose money as they spend to attract customers. They invest heavily in their growth while seeing revenues increase dramatically. Palantir is seeing revenues grow tremendously.</p><p>Sometimes that growth fades and the company never really transforms the world like it set out to do. It is not uncommon that these stocks wither away to sub $1 then eventually delist to the OTC markets before going out of business. Happens a lot. Some argue this could happen to many of the innovation type companies. We admit, there are a number of companies that seem revolutionary at the time and then go bust years later. Even Cathie Wood abandoned Palantir just days after we thought the reset was complete and turned bullish. For those keeping score, the stock is up about 20% since that time. We digress.</p><p>But we see the bottom as in. Internal metrics improve year-after-year for Palantir and we see no reason why the ongoing growth will not eventually lead to real profits. Great companies always seem to start out losing money. Even after this rally, we remain bullish long-term. In the short-term, we have reason to be bullish based on the problems they solve and the horrible situation in Ukraine and the need to mine data for intelligence. We think so, for the long-term investor. We like a buy in this stock on any weakness. Sure, the stock is still expensive, even for high growth tech, but is much more reasonable compared to a few months ago. Keep in mind that the company is breaking even and making some money some quarters. When the company reported earnings, we saw that the growth remains on track. You can buy here.</p><h2>Our trade recommendation for PLTR stock remains valid</h2><p>Our last trade recommendation is still a set of entries we would follow</p><p>Target entry 1: $11.95-$12.15 40% of position</p><p>Target entry 2: $10.80-$11.00 60% of position</p><p>Stop loss: $9</p><p>Target exit: $13 real short-term, $15 medium-term</p><p>Options recommendations: Consider the April $12 puts for $0.45-$0.65 in premium. Call option buying is not nearly as pricey as a few weeks ago but you can consider the August $14 strike calls for $1-$1.50.</p><h2>Palantir - Both the government and commercial sectors are doing well</h2><p>In the recent quarter, performance was strong and ahead of consensus estimates. Total revenue grew 34% year-over-year to $433 million, beating estimates by almost $15 million.</p><p>Recall that there are two reporting segments for Palantir: the government and commercial segments. The commercial revenue stream has grown at a rapid rate over the last year, while government results are likely to get a big boost following international strife. While the war in Ukraine is an unexpected catalyst, the company has invested in itself to grow sales. To improve sales, Palantir has gone on a hiring spree. It expanded its sales team and they have been working to secure new orders. While the Government revenues have slowed their growth somewhat, they still rose 26% from last year, and the company added a total of 34 net new customers in the quarter. The commercial revenue is expanding rapidly increasing 132% in 2021, and up 47% in Q4 vs. last year.</p><p>Palantir is seeing very positive momentum in its margins. Positive movement in margins is important in a software company as it really highlights strengths, or weaknesses, in the way it distributes its products. What we mean is that if Palantir needs other companies to help move its products then gross margin would be tracking maybe 30-50%. When you have software companies with gross margins that are well over 50%, and approaching 60-70%, then it tends to mean the company is doing the heavy lifting itself. Palantir is delivering because gross margins expanded to 78% in the last year which is up double-digits from the prior year&#39;s quarters.</p><h2>Palantir is scratching the surface of profitability</h2><p>Even after the pull back in putting in a bottom in our opinion, the stock is expensive, like so many other growth tech names. The company lost $59 million in the quarter, but adjusted income from operations was $124 million. At the same time, and this is a big positive, the company is free cash flow positive. Adjusted free cash flow was $424 million for the year. That said, the company was profitable at a $0.02 adjusted EPS bottom line figure.</p><p>When it comes to valuation, you can look at the price to sales but it is still very high. At 16X sales, the stock is still expensive, factoring in the drop in shares to $12. Of course, this valuation is so much more down to Earth compared to when the stock exploded when it was 3X as high as it is now. The PEG ratio is respectable and we like the cash flow as we mentioned.</p><p>While the company is growing tremendously, the stock is still not without risk. The company could see government slash spending in tough times (like a recession which some say could come next year), though, some would argue that their technology saves the government money. Palantir brings software, artificial intelligence, and data into a solution to help government make decisions to centrally track things while identifying patterns and creating frameworks to assess impact of certain decisions. The Ukraine crisis may push faster adoption of the tech. On top of that, we see the commercials sales growing though a recession could lead to reduced spend on technology investments.</p><p>One risk we always hear about is the unrelenting stock based-compensation. We addressed that issue in this piece, but will reiterate that we like that management has acknowledge that it is a problem.</p><h2>Take home</h2><p>Look, the last month has seen some volatile action, but PLTR put in a bottom. If markets absolutely tank in a few months due to escalating war, really rapid rate hikes, or poor economic news, shares could fall back to lows, but we think the sentiment and momentum is on the bulls&#39; side. Even with a rebound, shares have been crushed still. We see a regression to the mean as likely, which would be the mid-teens for this stock. The company operates with no debt and has nice positive free cash flow. With the growth the company is displaying, and with it clawing at profitability with some positive catalysts putting wind in the sails, we remain bullish.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Palantir: Emerging From The Ashes</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nPalantir: Emerging From The Ashes\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-03-29 10:26 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4498129-palantir-pltr-stock-emerging-from-ashes><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>We think the bottom is in for Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) stock.

We digress.But we see the bottom as in. Internal metrics improve year-after-year for Palantir and we see no reason why the ongoing growth will not eventually lead to real profits. Great companies always seem to start out losing money. Even after this rally, we remain bullish long-term. In the short-term, we have reason to be bullish based on the problems they solve and the horrible situation in Ukraine and the need to mine data for intelligence. We think so, for the long-term investor. We like a buy in this stock on any weakness. Sure, the stock is still expensive, even for high growth tech, but is much more reasonable compared to a few months ago. Keep in mind that the company is breaking even and making some money some quarters. When the company reported earnings, we saw that the growth remains on track. You can buy here.Our trade recommendation for PLTR stock remains validOur last trade recommendation is still a set of entries we would followTarget entry 1: $11.95-$12.15 40% of positionTarget entry 2: $10.80-$11.00 60% of positionStop loss: $9Target exit: $13 real short-term, $15 medium-termOptions recommendations: Consider the April $12 puts for $0.45-$0.65 in premium. Call option buying is not nearly as pricey as a few weeks ago but you can consider the August $14 strike calls for $1-$1.50.Palantir - Both the government and commercial sectors are doing wellIn the recent quarter, performance was strong and ahead of consensus estimates. Total revenue grew 34% year-over-year to $433 million, beating estimates by almost $15 million.Recall that there are two reporting segments for Palantir: the government and commercial segments. The commercial revenue stream has grown at a rapid rate over the last year, while government results are likely to get a big boost following international strife. While the war in Ukraine is an unexpected catalyst, the company has invested in itself to grow sales. To improve sales, Palantir has gone on a hiring spree. It expanded its sales team and they have been working to secure new orders. While the Government revenues have slowed their growth somewhat, they still rose 26% from last year, and the company added a total of 34 net new customers in the quarter. The commercial revenue is expanding rapidly increasing 132% in 2021, and up 47% in Q4 vs. last year.Palantir is seeing very positive momentum in its margins. Positive movement in margins is important in a software company as it really highlights strengths, or weaknesses, in the way it distributes its products. What we mean is that if Palantir needs other companies to help move its products then gross margin would be tracking maybe 30-50%. When you have software companies with gross margins that are well over 50%, and approaching 60-70%, then it tends to mean the company is doing the heavy lifting itself. Palantir is delivering because gross margins expanded to 78% in the last year which is up double-digits from the prior year's quarters.Palantir is scratching the surface of profitabilityEven after the pull back in putting in a bottom in our opinion, the stock is expensive, like so many other growth tech names. The company lost $59 million in the quarter, but adjusted income from operations was $124 million. At the same time, and this is a big positive, the company is free cash flow positive. Adjusted free cash flow was $424 million for the year. That said, the company was profitable at a $0.02 adjusted EPS bottom line figure.When it comes to valuation, you can look at the price to sales but it is still very high. At 16X sales, the stock is still expensive, factoring in the drop in shares to $12. Of course, this valuation is so much more down to Earth compared to when the stock exploded when it was 3X as high as it is now. The PEG ratio is respectable and we like the cash flow as we mentioned.While the company is growing tremendously, the stock is still not without risk. The company could see government slash spending in tough times (like a recession which some say could come next year), though, some would argue that their technology saves the government money. Palantir brings software, artificial intelligence, and data into a solution to help government make decisions to centrally track things while identifying patterns and creating frameworks to assess impact of certain decisions. The Ukraine crisis may push faster adoption of the tech. On top of that, we see the commercials sales growing though a recession could lead to reduced spend on technology investments.One risk we always hear about is the unrelenting stock based-compensation. We addressed that issue in this piece, but will reiterate that we like that management has acknowledge that it is a problem.Take homeLook, the last month has seen some volatile action, but PLTR put in a bottom. If markets absolutely tank in a few months due to escalating war, really rapid rate hikes, or poor economic news, shares could fall back to lows, but we think the sentiment and momentum is on the bulls' side. Even with a rebound, shares have been crushed still. We see a regression to the mean as likely, which would be the mid-teens for this stock. The company operates with no debt and has nice positive free cash flow. With the growth the company is displaying, and with it clawing at profitability with some positive catalysts putting wind in the sails, we remain bullish.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":361,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9037796528,"gmtCreate":1648175137793,"gmtModify":1676534313486,"author":{"id":"4088594279252790","authorId":"4088594279252790","name":"RoosterCK","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/95d82027a8a87481178ec45908742b11","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088594279252790","authorIdStr":"4088594279252790"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Very positive news[Like]&nbsp;","listText":"Very positive news[Like]&nbsp;","text":"Very positive news[Like]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9037796528","repostId":"1185091893","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":204,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9037219404,"gmtCreate":1648111729048,"gmtModify":1676534305640,"author":{"id":"4088594279252790","authorId":"4088594279252790","name":"RoosterCK","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/95d82027a8a87481178ec45908742b11","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088594279252790","authorIdStr":"4088594279252790"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Time to buy?","listText":"Time to buy?","text":"Time to buy?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9037219404","repostId":"1184915755","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":156,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9034177320,"gmtCreate":1647839478425,"gmtModify":1676534270681,"author":{"id":"4088594279252790","authorId":"4088594279252790","name":"RoosterCK","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/95d82027a8a87481178ec45908742b11","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088594279252790","authorIdStr":"4088594279252790"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hope to have good news for this whole week","listText":"Hope to have good news for this whole week","text":"Hope to have good news for this whole week","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9034177320","repostId":"1173921394","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1173921394","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1647819269,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1173921394?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-03-21 07:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. Stocks Poised to Open Slightly Higher on Monday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1173921394","media":"Barron's","summary":"U.S. stocks are set to open Monday slightly up.

Members of Congress and the Cabinet. Justices of the Supreme Court. My fellow Americans.</p><p>Last year COVID-19 kept us apart. This year we are finally together again.</p><p>Tonight, we meet as Democrats Republicans and Independents. But most importantly as Americans.</p><p>With a duty to one another to the American people to the Constitution.</p><p>And with an unwavering resolve that freedom will always triumph over tyranny.</p><p>Six days ago, Russia’s Vladimir Putin sought to shake the foundations of the free world thinking he could make it bend to his menacing ways. But he badly miscalculated.</p><p>He thought he could roll into Ukraine and the world would roll over. Instead he met a wall of strength he never imagined.</p><p>He met the Ukrainian people.</p><p>From President Zelenskyy to every Ukrainian, their fearlessness, their courage, their determination, inspires the world.</p><p>Groups of citizens blocking tanks with their bodies. Everyone from students to retirees teachers turned soldiers defending their homeland.</p><p>In this struggle as President Zelenskyy said in his speech to the European Parliament “Light will win over darkness.” The Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States is here tonight.</p><p>Let each of us here tonight in this Chamber send an unmistakable signal to Ukraine and to the world.</p><p>Please rise if you are able and show that, Yes, we the United States of America stand with the Ukrainian people.</p><p>Throughout our history we’ve learned this lesson when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression they cause more chaos.</p><p>They keep moving.</p><p>And the costs and the threats to America and the world keep rising.</p><p>That’s why the NATO Alliance was created to secure peace and stability in Europe after World War 2.</p><p>The United States is a member along with 29 other nations.</p><p>It matters. American diplomacy matters. American resolve matters.</p><p>Putin’s latest attack on Ukraine was premeditated and unprovoked.</p><p>He rejected repeated efforts at diplomacy.</p><p>He thought the West and NATO wouldn’t respond. And he thought he could divide us at home. Putin was wrong. We were ready.  Here is what we did.</p><p>We prepared extensively and carefully.</p><p>We spent months building a coalition of other freedom-loving nations from Europe and the Americas to Asia and Africa to confront Putin.</p><p>I spent countless hours unifying our European allies. We shared with the world in advance what we knew Putin was planning and precisely how he would try to falsely justify his aggression.</p><p>We countered Russia’s lies with truth.</p><p>And now that he has acted the free world is holding him accountable.</p><p>Along with twenty-seven members of the European Union including France, Germany, Italy, as well as countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and many others, even Switzerland.</p><p>We are inflicting pain on Russia and supporting the people of Ukraine. Putin is now isolated from the world more than ever.</p><p>Together with our allies –we are right now enforcing powerful economic sanctions.</p><p>We are cutting off Russia’s largest banks from the international financial system.</p><p>Preventing Russia’s central bank from defending the Russian Ruble making Putin’s $630 Billion “war fund” worthless.</p><p>We are choking off Russia’s access to technology that will sap its economic strength and weaken its military for years to come.</p><p>Tonight I say to the Russian oligarchs and corrupt leaders who have bilked billions of dollars off this violent regime no more.</p><p>The U.S. Department of Justice is assembling a dedicated task force to go after the crimes of Russian oligarchs.</p><p>We are joining with our European allies to find and seize your yachts your luxury apartments your private jets. We are coming for your ill-begotten gains.</p><p>And tonight I am announcing that we will join our allies in closing off American air space to all Russian flights – further isolating Russia – and adding an additional squeeze –on their economy. The Ruble has lost 30% of its value.</p><p>The Russian stock market has lost 40% of its value and trading remains suspended. Russia’s economy is reeling and Putin alone is to blame.</p><p>Together with our allies we are providing support to the Ukrainians in their fight for freedom. Military assistance. Economic assistance. Humanitarian assistance.</p><p>We are giving more than $1 Billion in direct assistance to Ukraine.</p><p>And we will continue to aid the Ukrainian people as they defend their country and to help ease their suffering.</p><p>Let me be clear, our forces are not engaged and will not engage in conflict with Russian forces in Ukraine.</p><p>Our forces are not going to Europe to fight in Ukraine, but to defend our NATO Allies – in the event that Putin decides to keep moving west.</p><p>For that purpose we’ve mobilized American ground forces, air squadrons, and ship deployments to protect NATO countries including Poland, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.</p><p>As I have made crystal clear the United States and our Allies will defend every inch of territory of NATO countries with the full force of our collective power.</p><p>And we remain clear-eyed. The Ukrainians are fighting back with pure courage. But the next few days weeks, months, will be hard on them.</p><p>Putin has unleashed violence and chaos.  But while he may make gains on the battlefield – he will pay a continuing high price over the long run.</p><p>And a proud Ukrainian people, who have known 30 years  of independence, have repeatedly shown that they will not tolerate anyone who tries to take their country backwards.</p><p>To all Americans, I will be honest with you, as I’ve always promised. A Russian dictator, invading a foreign country, has costs around the world.</p><p>And I’m taking robust action to make sure the pain of our sanctions  is targeted at Russia’s economy. And I will use every tool at our disposal to protect American businesses and consumers.</p><p>Tonight, I can announce that the United States has worked with 30 other countries to release 60 Million barrels of oil from reserves around the world.</p><p>America will lead that effort, releasing 30 Million barrels from our own Strategic Petroleum Reserve. And we stand ready to do more if necessary, unified with our allies.</p><p>These steps will help blunt gas prices here at home. And I know the news about what’s happening can seem alarming.</p><p>But I want you to know that we are going to be okay.</p><p>When the history of this era is written Putin’s war on Ukraine will have left Russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger.</p><p>While it shouldn’t have taken something so terrible for people around the world to see what’s at stake now everyone sees it clearly.</p><p>We see the unity among leaders of nations and a more unified Europe a more unified West. And we see unity among the people who are gathering in cities in large crowds around the world even in Russia to demonstrate their support for Ukraine.</p><p>In the battle between democracy and autocracy, democracies are rising to the moment, and the world is clearly choosing the side of peace and security.</p><p>This is a real test. It’s going to take time. So let us continue to draw inspiration from the iron will of the Ukrainian people.</p><p>To our fellow Ukrainian Americans who forge a deep bond that connects our two nations we stand with you.</p><p>Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he will never gain the hearts and souls of the Ukrainian people.</p><p>He will never extinguish their love of freedom. He will never weaken the resolve of the free world.</p><p>We meet tonight in an America that has lived through two of the hardest years this nation has ever faced.</p><p>The pandemic has been punishing.</p><p>And so many families are living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to keep up with the rising cost of food, gas, housing, and so much more.</p><p>I understand.</p><p>I remember when my Dad had to leave our home in Scranton, Pennsylvania to find work. I grew up in a family where if the price of food went up, you felt it.</p><p>That’s why one of the first things I did as President was fight to pass the American Rescue Plan.</p><p>Because people were hurting. We needed to act, and we did.</p><p>Few pieces of legislation have done more in a critical moment in our history to lift us out of crisis.</p><p>It fueled our efforts to vaccinate the nation and combat COVID-19. It delivered immediate economic relief for tens of millions of Americans.</p><p>Helped put food on their table, keep a roof over their heads, and cut the cost of health insurance.</p><p>And as my Dad used to say, it gave people a little breathing room.</p><p>And unlike the $2 Trillion tax cut passed in the previous administration that benefitted the top 1% of Americans, the American Rescue Plan helped working people—and left no one behind.</p><p>And it worked. It created jobs. Lots of jobs.</p><p>In fact—our economy created over 6.5 Million new jobs just last year, more jobs created in one year</p><p>than ever before in the history of America.</p><p>Our economy grew at a rate of 5.7% last year, the strongest growth in nearly 40 years, the first step in bringing fundamental change to an economy that hasn’t worked for the working people of this nation for too long.</p><p>For the past 40 years we were told that if we gave tax breaks to those at the very top, the benefits would trickle down to everyone else.</p><p>But that trickle-down theory led to weaker economic growth, lower wages, bigger deficits, and the widest gap between those at the top and everyone else in nearly a century.</p><p>Vice President Harris and I ran for office with a new economic vision for America.</p><p>Invest in America. Educate Americans. Grow the workforce. Build the economy from the bottom up</p><p>and the middle out, not from the top down.</p><p>Because we know that when the middle class grows, the poor have a ladder up and the wealthy do very well.</p><p>America used to have the best roads, bridges, and airports on Earth.</p><p>Now our infrastructure is ranked 13th in the world.</p><p>We won’t be able to compete for the jobs of the 21st Century if we don’t fix that.</p><p>That’s why it was so important to pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—the most sweeping investment to rebuild America in history.</p><p>This was a bipartisan effort, and I want to thank the members of both parties who worked to make it happen.</p><p>We’re done talking about infrastructure weeks.</p><p>We’re going to have an infrastructure decade.</p><p>It is going to transform America and put us on a path to win the economic competition of the 21st Century that we face with the rest of the world—particularly with China.</p><p>As I’ve told Xi Jinping, it is never a good bet to bet against the American people.</p><p>We’ll create good jobs for millions of Americans, modernizing roads, airports, ports, and waterways all across America.</p><p>And we’ll do it all to withstand the devastating effects of the climate crisis and promote environmental justice.</p><p>We’ll build a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations, begin to replace poisonous lead pipes—so every child—and every American—has clean water to drink at home and at school, provide affordable high-speed internet for every American—urban, suburban, rural, and tribal communities.</p><p>4,000 projects have already been announced.</p><p>And tonight, I’m announcing that this year we will start fixing over 65,000 miles of highway and 1,500 bridges in disrepair.</p><p>When we use taxpayer dollars to rebuild America – we are going to Buy American: buy American products to support American jobs.</p><p>The federal government spends about $600 Billion a year to keep the country safe and secure.</p><p>There’s been a law on the books for almost a century</p><p>to make sure taxpayers’ dollars support American jobs and businesses.</p><p>Every Administration says they’ll do it, but we are actually doing it.</p><p>We will buy American to make sure everything from the deck of an aircraft carrier to the steel on highway guardrails are made in America.</p><p>But to compete for the best jobs of the future, we also need to level the playing field with China and other competitors.</p><p>That’s why it is so important to pass the Bipartisan Innovation Act sitting in Congress that will make record investments in emerging technologies and American manufacturing.</p><p>Let me give you one example of why it’s so important to pass it.</p><p>If you travel 20 miles east of Columbus, Ohio, you’ll find 1,000 empty acres of land.</p><p>It won’t look like much, but if you stop and look closely, you’ll see a “Field of dreams,” the ground on which America’s future will be built.</p><p>This is where Intel, the American company that helped build Silicon Valley, is going to build its $20 billion semiconductor “mega site”.</p><p>Up to eight state-of-the-art factories in one place. 10,000 new good-paying jobs.</p><p>Some of the most sophisticated manufacturing in the world to make computer chips the size of a fingertip that power the world and our everyday lives.</p><p>Smartphones. The Internet. Technology we have yet to invent.</p><p>But that’s just the beginning.</p><p>Intel’s CEO, Pat Gelsinger, who is here tonight, told me they are ready to increase their investment from</p><p>$20 billion to $100 billion.</p><p>That would be one of the biggest investments in manufacturing in American history.</p><p>And all they’re waiting for is for you to pass this bill.</p><p>So let’s not wait any longer. Send it to my desk. I’ll sign it.</p><p>And we will really take off.</p><p>And Intel is not alone.</p><p>There’s something happening in America.</p><p>Just look around and you’ll see an amazing story.</p><p>The rebirth of the pride that comes from stamping products “Made In America.” The revitalization of American manufacturing.</p><p>Companies are choosing to build new factories here, when just a few years ago, they would have built them overseas.</p><p>That’s what is happening. Ford is investing $11 billion to build electric vehicles, creating 11,000 jobs across the country.</p><p>GM is making the largest investment in its history—$7 billion to build electric vehicles, creating 4,000 jobs in Michigan.</p><p>All told, we created 369,000 new manufacturing jobs in America just last year.</p><p>Powered by people I’ve met like JoJo Burgess, from generations of union steelworkers from Pittsburgh, who’s here with us tonight.</p><p>As Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown says, “It’s time to bury the label “Rust Belt.”</p><p>It’s time.</p><p>But with all the bright spots in our economy, record job growth and higher wages, too many families are struggling to keep up with the bills.</p><p>Inflation is robbing them of the gains they might otherwise feel.</p><p>I get it. That’s why my top priority is getting prices under control.</p><p>Look, our economy roared back faster than most predicted, but the pandemic meant that businesses had a hard time hiring enough workers to keep up production in their factories.</p><p>The pandemic also disrupted global supply chains.</p><p>When factories close, it takes longer to make goods and get them from the warehouse to the store, and prices go up.</p><p>Look at cars.</p><p>Last year, there weren’t enough semiconductors to make all the cars that people wanted to buy.</p><p>And guess what, prices of automobiles went up.</p><p>So—we have a choice.</p><p>One way to fight inflation is to drive down wages and make Americans poorer.</p><p>I have a better plan to fight inflation.</p><p>Lower your costs, not your wages.</p><p>Make more cars and semiconductors in America.</p><p>More infrastructure and innovation in America.</p><p>More goods moving faster and cheaper in America.</p><p>More jobs where you can earn a good living in America.</p><p>And instead of relying on foreign supply chains, let’s make it in America.</p><p>Economists call it “increasing the productive capacity of our economy.”</p><p>I call it building a better America.</p><p>My plan to fight inflation will lower your costs and lower the deficit.</p><p>17 Nobel laureates in economics say my plan will ease long-term inflationary pressures. Top business leaders and most Americans support my plan. And here’s the plan:</p><p>First – cut the cost of prescription drugs. Just look at insulin. One in ten Americans has diabetes. In Virginia, I met a 13-year-old boy named Joshua Davis.</p><p>He and his Dad both have Type 1 diabetes, which means they need insulin every day. Insulin costs about $10 a vial to make.</p><p>But drug companies charge families like Joshua and his Dad up to 30 times more. I spoke with Joshua’s mom.</p><p>Imagine what it’s like to look at your child who needs insulin and have no idea how you’re going to pay for it.</p><p>What it does to your dignity, your ability to look your child in the eye, to be the parent you expect to be.</p><p>Joshua is here with us tonight. Yesterday was his birthday. Happy birthday, buddy.</p><p>For Joshua, and for the 200,000 other young people with Type 1 diabetes, let’s cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month so everyone can afford it.</p><p>Drug companies will still do very well. And while we’re at it let Medicare negotiate lower prices for prescription drugs, like the VA already does.</p><p>Look, the American Rescue Plan is helping millions of families on Affordable Care Act plans save $2,400 a year on their health care premiums. Let’s close the coverage gap and make those savings permanent.</p><p>Second – cut energy costs for families an average of $500 a year by combatting climate change.</p><p>Let’s provide investments and tax credits to weatherize your homes and businesses to be energy efficient and you get a tax credit; double America’s clean energy production in solar, wind, and so much more;  lower the price of electric vehicles, saving you another $80 a month because you’ll never have to pay at the gas pump again.</p><p>Third – cut the cost of child care. Many families pay up to $14,000 a year for child care per child.</p><p>Middle-class and working families shouldn’t have to pay more than 7% of their income for care of young children.</p><p>My plan will cut the cost in half for most families and help parents, including millions of women, who left the workforce during the pandemic because they couldn’t afford child care, to be able to get back to work.</p><p>My plan doesn’t stop there. It also includes home and long-term care. More affordable housing. And Pre-K for every 3- and 4-year-old.</p><p>All of these will lower costs.</p><p>And under my plan, nobody earning less than $400,000 a year will pay an additional penny in new taxes. Nobody.</p><p>The one thing all Americans agree on is that the tax system is not fair. We have to fix it.</p><p>I’m not looking to punish anyone. But let’s make sure corporations and the wealthiest Americans start paying their fair share.</p><p>Just last year, 55 Fortune 500 corporations earned $40 billion in profits and paid zero dollars in federal income tax.</p><p>That’s simply not fair. That’s why I’ve proposed a 15% minimum tax rate for corporations.</p><p>We got more than 130 countries to agree on a global minimum tax rate so companies can’t get out of paying their taxes at home by shipping jobs and factories overseas.</p><p>That’s why I’ve proposed closing loopholes so the very wealthy don’t pay a lower tax rate than a teacher or a firefighter.</p><p>So that’s my plan. It will grow the economy and lower costs for families.</p><p>So what are we waiting for? Let’s get this done. And while you’re at it, confirm my nominees to the Federal Reserve, which plays a critical role in fighting inflation.</p><p>My plan will not only lower costs to give families a fair shot, it will lower the deficit.</p><p>The previous Administration not only ballooned the deficit with tax cuts for the very wealthy and corporations, it undermined the watchdogs whose job was to keep pandemic relief funds from being wasted.</p><p>But in my administration, the watchdogs have been welcomed back.</p><p>We’re going after the criminals who stole billions in relief money meant for small businesses and millions of Americans.</p><p>And tonight, I’m announcing that the Justice Department will name a chief prosecutor for pandemic fraud.</p><p>By the end of this year, the deficit will be down to less than half what it was before I took office.</p><p>The only president ever to cut the deficit by more than one trillion dollars in a single year.</p><p>Lowering your costs also means demanding more competition.</p><p>I’m a capitalist, but capitalism without competition isn’t capitalism.</p><p>It’s exploitation—and it drives up prices.</p><p>When corporations don’t have to compete, their profits go up, your prices go up, and small businesses and family farmers and ranchers go under.</p><p>We see it happening with ocean carriers moving goods in and out of America.</p><p>During the pandemic, these foreign-owned companies raised prices by as much as 1,000% and made record profits.</p><p>Tonight, I’m announcing a crackdown on these companies overcharging American businesses and consumers.</p><p>And as Wall Street firms take over more nursing homes, quality in those homes has gone down and costs have gone up.</p><p>That ends on my watch.</p><p>Medicare is going to set higher standards for nursing homes and make sure your loved ones get the care they deserve and expect.</p><p>We’ll also cut costs and keep the economy going strong by giving workers a fair shot, provide more training and apprenticeships, hire them based on their skills not degrees.</p><p>Let’s pass the Paycheck Fairness Act and paid leave.</p><p>Raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and extend the Child Tax Credit, so no one has to raise a family in poverty.</p><p>Let’s increase Pell Grants and increase our historic support of HBCUs, and invest in what Jill—our First Lady who teaches full-time—calls America’s best-kept secret: community colleges.</p><p>And let’s pass the PRO Act when a majority of workers want to form a union—they shouldn’t be stopped.</p><p>When we invest in our workers, when we build the economy from the bottom up and the middle out together, we can do something we haven’t done in a long time: build a better America.</p><p>For more than two years, COVID-19 has impacted every decision in our lives and the life of the nation.</p><p>And I know you’re tired, frustrated, and exhausted.</p><p>But I also know this.</p><p>Because of the progress we’ve made, because of your resilience and the tools we have, tonight I can say</p><p>we are moving forward safely, back to more normal routines.</p><p>We’ve reached a new moment in the fight against COVID-19, with severe cases down to a level not seen since last July.</p><p>Just a few days ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—the CDC—issued new mask guidelines.</p><p>Under these new guidelines, most Americans in most of the country can now be mask free.</p><p>And based on the projections, more of the country will reach that point across the next couple of weeks.</p><p>Thanks to the progress we have made this past year, COVID-19 need no longer control our lives.</p><p>I know some are talking about “living with COVID-19”. Tonight – I say that we will never just accept living with COVID-19.</p><p>We will continue to combat the virus as we do other diseases. And because this is a virus that mutates and spreads, we will stay on guard.</p><p>Here are four common sense steps as we move forward safely.</p><p>First, stay protected with vaccines and treatments. We know how incredibly effective vaccines are. If you’re vaccinated and boosted you have the highest degree of protection.</p><p>We will never give up on vaccinating more Americans. Now, I know parents with kids under 5 are eager to see a vaccine authorized for their children.</p><p>The scientists are working hard to get that done and we’ll be ready with plenty of vaccines when they do.</p><p>We’re also ready with anti-viral treatments. If you get COVID-19, the Pfizer pill reduces your chances of ending up in the hospital by 90%.</p><p>We’ve ordered more of these pills than anyone in the world. And Pfizer is working overtime to get us 1 Million pills this month and more than double that next month.</p><p>And we’re launching the “Test to Treat” initiative so people can get tested at a pharmacy, and if they’re positive, receive antiviral pills on the spot at no cost.</p><p>If you’re immunocompromised or have some other vulnerability, we have treatments and free high-quality masks.</p><p>We’re leaving no one behind or ignoring anyone’s needs as we move forward.</p><p>And on testing, we have made hundreds of millions of tests available for you to order for free.</p><p>Even if you already ordered free tests tonight, I am announcing that you can order more from <a href=\"http://covidtests.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">covidtests.gov</a> starting next week.</p><p>Second – we must prepare for new variants. Over the past year, we’ve gotten much better at detecting new variants.</p><p>If necessary, we’ll be able to deploy new vaccines within 100 days instead of many more months or years.</p><p>And, if Congress provides the funds we need, we’ll have new stockpiles of tests, masks, and pills ready if needed.</p><p>I cannot promise a new variant won’t come. But I can promise you we’ll do everything within our power to be ready if it does.</p><p>Third – we can end the shutdown of schools and businesses. We have the tools we need.</p><p>It’s time for Americans to get back to work and fill our great downtowns again.  People working from home can feel safe to begin to return to the office.</p><p>We’re doing that here in the federal government. The vast majority of federal workers will once again work in person.</p><p>Our schools are open. Let’s keep it that way. Our kids need to be in school.</p><p>And with 75% of adult Americans fully vaccinated and hospitalizations down by 77%, most Americans can remove their masks, return to work, stay in the classroom, and move forward safely.</p><p>We achieved this because we provided free vaccines, treatments, tests, and masks.</p><p>Of course, continuing this costs money.</p><p>I will soon send Congress a request.</p><p>The vast majority of Americans have used these tools and may want to again, so I expect Congress to pass it quickly.</p><p>Fourth, we will continue vaccinating the world.</p><p>We’ve sent 475 Million vaccine doses to 112 countries, more than any other nation.</p><p>And we won’t stop.</p><p>We have lost so much to COVID-19. Time with one another. And worst of all, so much loss of life.</p><p>Let’s use this moment to reset. Let’s stop looking at COVID-19 as a partisan dividing line and see it for what it is: A God-awful disease.</p><p>Let’s stop seeing each other as enemies, and start seeing each other for who we really are: Fellow Americans.</p><p>We can’t change how divided we’ve been. But we can change how we move forward—on COVID-19 and other issues we must face together.</p><p>I recently visited the New York City Police Department days after the funerals of Officer Wilbert Mora and his partner, Officer Jason Rivera.</p><p>They were responding to a 9-1-1 call when a man shot and killed them with a stolen gun.</p><p>Officer Mora was 27 years old.</p><p>Officer Rivera was 22.</p><p>Both Dominican Americans who’d grown up on the same streets they later chose to patrol as police officers.</p><p>I spoke with their families and told them that we are forever in debt for their sacrifice, and we will carry on their mission to restore the trust and safety every community deserves.</p><p>I’ve worked on these issues a long time.</p><p>I know what works: Investing in crime preventionand community police officers who’ll walk the beat, who’ll know the neighborhood, and who can restore trust and safety.</p><p>So let’s not abandon our streets. Or choose between safety and equal justice.</p><p>Let’s come together to protect our communities, restore trust, and hold law enforcement accountable.</p><p>That’s why the Justice Department required body cameras, banned chokeholds, and restricted no-knock warrants for its officers.</p><p>That’s why the American Rescue Plan provided $350 Billion that cities, states, and counties can use to hire more police and invest in proven strategies like community violence interruption—trusted messengers breaking the cycle of violence and trauma and giving young people hope.</p><p>We should all agree: The answer is not to Defund the police. The answer is to FUND the police with the resources and training they need to protect our communities.</p><p>I ask Democrats and Republicans alike: Pass my budget and keep our neighborhoods safe.</p><p>And I will keep doing everything in my power to crack down on gun trafficking and ghost guns you can buy online and make at home—they have no serial numbers and can’t be traced.</p><p>And I ask Congress to pass proven measures to reduce gun violence. Pass universal background checks. Why should anyone on a terrorist list be able to purchase a weapon?</p><p>Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.</p><p>Repeal the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry in America that can’t be sued.</p><p>These laws don’t infringe on the Second Amendment. They save lives.</p><p>The most fundamental right in America is the right to vote – and to have it counted. And it’s under assault.</p><p>In state after state, new laws have been passed, not only to suppress the vote, but to subvert entire elections.</p><p>We cannot let this happen.</p><p>Tonight. I call on the Senate to: Pass the Freedom to Vote Act. Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. And while you’re at it, pass the Disclose Act so Americans can know who is funding our elections.</p><p>Tonight, I’d like to honor someone who has dedicated his life to serve this country: Justice Stephen Breyer—an Army veteran, Constitutional scholar, and retiring Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Justice Breyer, thank you for your service.</p><p>One of the most serious constitutional responsibilities a President has is nominating someone to serve on the United States Supreme Court.</p><p>And I did that 4 days ago, when I nominated Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. One of our nation’s top legal minds, who will continue Justice Breyer’s legacy of excellence.</p><p>A former top litigator in private practice. A former federal public defender. And from a family of public school educators and police officers. A consensus builder. Since she’s been nominated, she’s received a broad range of support—from the Fraternal Order of Police to former judges appointed by Democrats and Republicans.</p><p>And if we are to advance liberty and justice, we need to secure the Border and fix the immigration system.</p><p>We can do both. At our border, we’ve installed new technology like cutting-edge scanners to better detect drug smuggling.</p><p>We’ve set up joint patrols with Mexico and Guatemala to catch more human traffickers.</p><p>We’re putting in place dedicated immigration judges so families fleeing persecution and violence can have their cases heard faster.</p><p>We’re securing commitments and supporting partners in South and Central America to host more refugees and secure their own borders.</p><p>We can do all this while keeping lit the torch of liberty that has led generations of immigrants to this land—my forefathers and so many of yours.</p><p>Provide a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, those on temporary status, farm workers, and essential workers.</p><p>Revise our laws so businesses have the workers they need and families don’t wait decades to reunite.</p><p>It’s not only the right thing to do—it’s the economically smart thing to do.</p><p>That’s why immigration reform is supported by everyone from labor unions to religious leaders to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.</p><p>Let’s get it done once and for all.</p><p>Advancing liberty and justice also requires protecting the rights of women.</p><p>The constitutional right affirmed in Roe v. Wade—standing precedent for half a century—is under attack as never before.</p><p>If we want to go forward—not backward—we must protect access to health care. Preserve a woman’s right to choose. And let’s continue to advance maternal health care in America.</p><p>And for our LGBTQ+ Americans, let’s finally get the bipartisan Equality Act to my desk. The onslaught of state laws targeting transgender Americans and their families is wrong.</p><p>As I said last year, especially to our younger transgender Americans, I will always have your back as your President, so you can be yourself and reach your God-given potential.</p><p>While it often appears that we never agree, that isn’t true. I signed 80 bipartisan bills into law last year. From preventing government shutdowns to protecting Asian-Americans from still-too-common hate crimes to reforming military justice.</p><p>And soon, we’ll strengthen the Violence Against Women Act that I first wrote three decades ago. It is important for us to show the nation that we can come together and do big things.</p><p>So tonight I’m offering a Unity Agenda for the Nation. Four big things we can do together.</p><p>First, beat the opioid epidemic.</p><p>There is so much we can do. Increase funding for prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery.</p><p>Get rid of outdated rules that stop doctors from prescribing treatments. And stop the flow of illicit drugs by working with state and local law enforcement to go after traffickers.</p><p>If you’re suffering from addiction, know you are not alone. I believe in recovery, and I celebrate the 23 million Americans in recovery.</p><p>Second, let’s take on mental health. Especially among our children, whose lives and education have been turned upside down.</p><p>The American Rescue Plan gave schools money to hire teachers and help students make up for lost learning.</p><p>I urge every parent to make sure your school does just that. And we can all play a part—sign up to be a tutor or a mentor.</p><p>Children were also struggling before the pandemic. Bullying, violence, trauma, and the harms of social media.</p><p>As Frances Haugen, who is here with us tonight, has shown, we must hold social media platforms accountable for the national experiment they’re conducting on our children for profit.</p><p>It’s time to strengthen privacy protections, ban targeted advertising to children, demand tech companies stop collecting personal data on our children.</p><p>And let’s get all Americans the mental health services they need. More people they can turn to for help, and full parity between physical and mental health care.</p><p>Third, support our veterans.</p><p>Veterans are the best of us.</p><p>I’ve always believed that we have a sacred obligation to equip all those we send to war and care for them and their families when they come home.</p><p>My administration is providing assistance with job training and housing, and now helping lower-income veterans get VA care debt-free.</p><p>Our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan faced many dangers.</p><p>One was stationed at bases and breathing in toxic smoke from “burn pits” that incinerated wastes of war—medical and hazard material, jet fuel, and more.</p><p>When they came home, many of the world’s fittest and best trained warriors were never the same.</p><p>Headaches. Numbness. Dizziness.</p><p>A cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin.</p><p>I know.</p><p>One of those soldiers was my son Major Beau Biden.</p><p>We don’t know for sure if a burn pit was the cause of his brain cancer, or the diseases of so many of our troops.</p><p>But I’m committed to finding out everything we can.</p><p>Committed to military families like Danielle Robinson from Ohio.</p><p>The widow of Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson.</p><p>He was born a soldier. Army National Guard. Combat medic in Kosovo and Iraq.</p><p>Stationed near Baghdad, just yards from burn pits the size of football fields.</p><p>Heath’s widow Danielle is here with us tonight. They loved going to Ohio State football games. He loved building Legos with their daughter.</p><p>But cancer from prolonged exposure to burn pits ravaged Heath’s lungs and body.</p><p>Danielle says Heath was a fighter to the very end.</p><p>He didn’t know how to stop fighting, and neither did she.</p><p>Through her pain she found purpose to demand we do better.</p><p>Tonight, Danielle—we are.</p><p>The VA is pioneering new ways of linking toxic exposures to diseases, already helping more veterans get benefits.</p><p>And tonight, I’m announcing we’re expanding eligibility to veterans suffering from nine respiratory cancers.</p><p>I’m also calling on Congress: pass a law to make sure veterans devastated by toxic exposures in Iraq and Afghanistan finally get the benefits and comprehensive health care they deserve.</p><p>And fourth, let’s end cancer as we know it.</p><p>This is personal to me and Jill, to Kamala, and to so many of you.</p><p>Cancer is the #2 cause of death in America–second only to heart disease.</p><p>Last month, I announced our plan to supercharge</p><p>the Cancer Moonshot that President Obama asked me to lead six years ago.</p><p>Our goal is to cut the cancer death rate by at least 50% over the next 25 years, turn more cancers from death sentences into treatable diseases.</p><p>More support for patients and families.</p><p>To get there, I call on Congress to fund ARPA-H, the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health.</p><p>It’s based on DARPA—the Defense Department project that led to the Internet, GPS, and so much more.</p><p>ARPA-H will have a singular purpose—to drive breakthroughs in cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and more.</p><p>A unity agenda for the nation.</p><p>We can do this.</p><p>My fellow Americans—tonight , we have gathered in a sacred space—the citadel of our democracy.</p><p>In this Capitol, generation after generation, Americans have debated great questions amid great strife, and have done great things.</p><p>We have fought for freedom, expanded liberty, defeated totalitarianism and terror.</p><p>And built the strongest, freest, and most prosperous nation the world has ever known.</p><p>Now is the hour.</p><p>Our moment of responsibility.</p><p>Our test of resolve and conscience, of history itself.</p><p>It is in this moment that our character is formed. Our purpose is found. Our future is forged.</p><p>Well I know this nation.</p><p>We will meet the test.</p><p>To protect freedom and liberty, to expand fairness and opportunity.</p><p>We will save democracy.</p><p>As hard as these times have been, I am more optimistic about America today than I have been my whole life.</p><p>Because I see the future that is within our grasp.</p><p>Because I know there is simply nothing beyond our capacity.</p><p>We are the only nation on Earth that has always turned every crisis we have faced into an opportunity.</p><p>The only nation that can be defined by a single word: possibilities.</p><p>So on this night, in our 245th year as a nation, I have come to report on the State of the Union.</p><p>And my report is this: the State of the Union is strong—because you, the American people, are strong.</p><p>We are stronger today than we were a year ago.</p><p>And we will be stronger a year from now than we are today.</p><p>Now is our moment to meet and overcome the challenges of our time.</p><p>And we will, as one people.</p><p>One America.</p><p>The United States of America.</p><p>May God bless you all. May God protect our troops.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta

Russia-Ukraine conflict, COVID in focus in president’s first State of the Union addressPresident Joe Biden delivers the State of the Union address during a joint session of Congress in the U.S. Capitol’s House Chamber on March 01, 2022 in Washington.Here is the full text, as prepared for delivery, of President Joe Biden’s first State of the Union address, as released Tuesday by the White House.Madam Speaker, Madam Vice President, our First Lady and Second Gentleman. Members of Congress and the Cabinet. Justices of the Supreme Court. My fellow Americans.Last year COVID-19 kept us apart. This year we are finally together again.Tonight, we meet as Democrats Republicans and Independents. But most importantly as Americans.With a duty to one another to the American people to the Constitution.And with an unwavering resolve that freedom will always triumph over tyranny.Six days ago, Russia’s Vladimir Putin sought to shake the foundations of the free world thinking he could make it bend to his menacing ways. But he badly miscalculated.He thought he could roll into Ukraine and the world would roll over. Instead he met a wall of strength he never imagined.He met the Ukrainian people.From President Zelenskyy to every Ukrainian, their fearlessness, their courage, their determination, inspires the world.Groups of citizens blocking tanks with their bodies. Everyone from students to retirees teachers turned soldiers defending their homeland.In this struggle as President Zelenskyy said in his speech to the European Parliament “Light will win over darkness.” The Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States is here tonight.Let each of us here tonight in this Chamber send an unmistakable signal to Ukraine and to the world.Please rise if you are able and show that, Yes, we the United States of America stand with the Ukrainian people.Throughout our history we’ve learned this lesson when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression they cause more chaos.They keep moving.And the costs and the threats to America and the world keep rising.That’s why the NATO Alliance was created to secure peace and stability in Europe after World War 2.The United States is a member along with 29 other nations.It matters. American diplomacy matters. American resolve matters.Putin’s latest attack on Ukraine was premeditated and unprovoked.He rejected repeated efforts at diplomacy.He thought the West and NATO wouldn’t respond. And he thought he could divide us at home. Putin was wrong. We were ready.  Here is what we did.We prepared extensively and carefully.We spent months building a coalition of other freedom-loving nations from Europe and the Americas to Asia and Africa to confront Putin.I spent countless hours unifying our European allies. We shared with the world in advance what we knew Putin was planning and precisely how he would try to falsely justify his aggression.We countered Russia’s lies with truth.And now that he has acted the free world is holding him accountable.Along with twenty-seven members of the European Union including France, Germany, Italy, as well as countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and many others, even Switzerland.We are inflicting pain on Russia and supporting the people of Ukraine. Putin is now isolated from the world more than ever.Together with our allies –we are right now enforcing powerful economic sanctions.We are cutting off Russia’s largest banks from the international financial system.Preventing Russia’s central bank from defending the Russian Ruble making Putin’s $630 Billion “war fund” worthless.We are choking off Russia’s access to technology that will sap its economic strength and weaken its military for years to come.Tonight I say to the Russian oligarchs and corrupt leaders who have bilked billions of dollars off this violent regime no more.The U.S. Department of Justice is assembling a dedicated task force to go after the crimes of Russian oligarchs.We are joining with our European allies to find and seize your yachts your luxury apartments your private jets. We are coming for your ill-begotten gains.And tonight I am announcing that we will join our allies in closing off American air space to all Russian flights – further isolating Russia – and adding an additional squeeze –on their economy. The Ruble has lost 30% of its value.The Russian stock market has lost 40% of its value and trading remains suspended. Russia’s economy is reeling and Putin alone is to blame.Together with our allies we are providing support to the Ukrainians in their fight for freedom. Military assistance. Economic assistance. Humanitarian assistance.We are giving more than $1 Billion in direct assistance to Ukraine.And we will continue to aid the Ukrainian people as they defend their country and to help ease their suffering.Let me be clear, our forces are not engaged and will not engage in conflict with Russian forces in Ukraine.Our forces are not going to Europe to fight in Ukraine, but to defend our NATO Allies – in the event that Putin decides to keep moving west.For that purpose we’ve mobilized American ground forces, air squadrons, and ship deployments to protect NATO countries including Poland, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.As I have made crystal clear the United States and our Allies will defend every inch of territory of NATO countries with the full force of our collective power.And we remain clear-eyed. The Ukrainians are fighting back with pure courage. But the next few days weeks, months, will be hard on them.Putin has unleashed violence and chaos.  But while he may make gains on the battlefield – he will pay a continuing high price over the long run.And a proud Ukrainian people, who have known 30 years  of independence, have repeatedly shown that they will not tolerate anyone who tries to take their country backwards.To all Americans, I will be honest with you, as I’ve always promised. A Russian dictator, invading a foreign country, has costs around the world.And I’m taking robust action to make sure the pain of our sanctions  is targeted at Russia’s economy. And I will use every tool at our disposal to protect American businesses and consumers.Tonight, I can announce that the United States has worked with 30 other countries to release 60 Million barrels of oil from reserves around the world.America will lead that effort, releasing 30 Million barrels from our own Strategic Petroleum Reserve. And we stand ready to do more if necessary, unified with our allies.These steps will help blunt gas prices here at home. And I know the news about what’s happening can seem alarming.But I want you to know that we are going to be okay.When the history of this era is written Putin’s war on Ukraine will have left Russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger.While it shouldn’t have taken something so terrible for people around the world to see what’s at stake now everyone sees it clearly.We see the unity among leaders of nations and a more unified Europe a more unified West. And we see unity among the people who are gathering in cities in large crowds around the world even in Russia to demonstrate their support for Ukraine.In the battle between democracy and autocracy, democracies are rising to the moment, and the world is clearly choosing the side of peace and security.This is a real test. It’s going to take time. So let us continue to draw inspiration from the iron will of the Ukrainian people.To our fellow Ukrainian Americans who forge a deep bond that connects our two nations we stand with you.Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he will never gain the hearts and souls of the Ukrainian people.He will never extinguish their love of freedom. He will never weaken the resolve of the free world.We meet tonight in an America that has lived through two of the hardest years this nation has ever faced.The pandemic has been punishing.And so many families are living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to keep up with the rising cost of food, gas, housing, and so much more.I understand.I remember when my Dad had to leave our home in Scranton, Pennsylvania to find work. I grew up in a family where if the price of food went up, you felt it.That’s why one of the first things I did as President was fight to pass the American Rescue Plan.Because people were hurting. We needed to act, and we did.Few pieces of legislation have done more in a critical moment in our history to lift us out of crisis.It fueled our efforts to vaccinate the nation and combat COVID-19. It delivered immediate economic relief for tens of millions of Americans.Helped put food on their table, keep a roof over their heads, and cut the cost of health insurance.And as my Dad used to say, it gave people a little breathing room.And unlike the $2 Trillion tax cut passed in the previous administration that benefitted the top 1% of Americans, the American Rescue Plan helped working people—and left no one behind.And it worked. It created jobs. Lots of jobs.In fact—our economy created over 6.5 Million new jobs just last year, more jobs created in one yearthan ever before in the history of America.Our economy grew at a rate of 5.7% last year, the strongest growth in nearly 40 years, the first step in bringing fundamental change to an economy that hasn’t worked for the working people of this nation for too long.For the past 40 years we were told that if we gave tax breaks to those at the very top, the benefits would trickle down to everyone else.But that trickle-down theory led to weaker economic growth, lower wages, bigger deficits, and the widest gap between those at the top and everyone else in nearly a century.Vice President Harris and I ran for office with a new economic vision for America.Invest in America. Educate Americans. Grow the workforce. Build the economy from the bottom upand the middle out, not from the top down.Because we know that when the middle class grows, the poor have a ladder up and the wealthy do very well.America used to have the best roads, bridges, and airports on Earth.Now our infrastructure is ranked 13th in the world.We won’t be able to compete for the jobs of the 21st Century if we don’t fix that.That’s why it was so important to pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—the most sweeping investment to rebuild America in history.This was a bipartisan effort, and I want to thank the members of both parties who worked to make it happen.We’re done talking about infrastructure weeks.We’re going to have an infrastructure decade.It is going to transform America and put us on a path to win the economic competition of the 21st Century that we face with the rest of the world—particularly with China.As I’ve told Xi Jinping, it is never a good bet to bet against the American people.We’ll create good jobs for millions of Americans, modernizing roads, airports, ports, and waterways all across America.And we’ll do it all to withstand the devastating effects of the climate crisis and promote environmental justice.We’ll build a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations, begin to replace poisonous lead pipes—so every child—and every American—has clean water to drink at home and at school, provide affordable high-speed internet for every American—urban, suburban, rural, and tribal communities.4,000 projects have already been announced.And tonight, I’m announcing that this year we will start fixing over 65,000 miles of highway and 1,500 bridges in disrepair.When we use taxpayer dollars to rebuild America – we are going to Buy American: buy American products to support American jobs.The federal government spends about $600 Billion a year to keep the country safe and secure.There’s been a law on the books for almost a centuryto make sure taxpayers’ dollars support American jobs and businesses.Every Administration says they’ll do it, but we are actually doing it.We will buy American to make sure everything from the deck of an aircraft carrier to the steel on highway guardrails are made in America.But to compete for the best jobs of the future, we also need to level the playing field with China and other competitors.That’s why it is so important to pass the Bipartisan Innovation Act sitting in Congress that will make record investments in emerging technologies and American manufacturing.Let me give you one example of why it’s so important to pass it.If you travel 20 miles east of Columbus, Ohio, you’ll find 1,000 empty acres of land.It won’t look like much, but if you stop and look closely, you’ll see a “Field of dreams,” the ground on which America’s future will be built.This is where Intel, the American company that helped build Silicon Valley, is going to build its $20 billion semiconductor “mega site”.Up to eight state-of-the-art factories in one place. 10,000 new good-paying jobs.Some of the most sophisticated manufacturing in the world to make computer chips the size of a fingertip that power the world and our everyday lives.Smartphones. The Internet. Technology we have yet to invent.But that’s just the beginning.Intel’s CEO, Pat Gelsinger, who is here tonight, told me they are ready to increase their investment from$20 billion to $100 billion.That would be one of the biggest investments in manufacturing in American history.And all they’re waiting for is for you to pass this bill.So let’s not wait any longer. Send it to my desk. I’ll sign it.And we will really take off.And Intel is not alone.There’s something happening in America.Just look around and you’ll see an amazing story.The rebirth of the pride that comes from stamping products “Made In America.” The revitalization of American manufacturing.Companies are choosing to build new factories here, when just a few years ago, they would have built them overseas.That’s what is happening. Ford is investing $11 billion to build electric vehicles, creating 11,000 jobs across the country.GM is making the largest investment in its history—$7 billion to build electric vehicles, creating 4,000 jobs in Michigan.All told, we created 369,000 new manufacturing jobs in America just last year.Powered by people I’ve met like JoJo Burgess, from generations of union steelworkers from Pittsburgh, who’s here with us tonight.As Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown says, “It’s time to bury the label “Rust Belt.”It’s time.But with all the bright spots in our economy, record job growth and higher wages, too many families are struggling to keep up with the bills.Inflation is robbing them of the gains they might otherwise feel.I get it. That’s why my top priority is getting prices under control.Look, our economy roared back faster than most predicted, but the pandemic meant that businesses had a hard time hiring enough workers to keep up production in their factories.The pandemic also disrupted global supply chains.When factories close, it takes longer to make goods and get them from the warehouse to the store, and prices go up.Look at cars.Last year, there weren’t enough semiconductors to make all the cars that people wanted to buy.And guess what, prices of automobiles went up.So—we have a choice.One way to fight inflation is to drive down wages and make Americans poorer.I have a better plan to fight inflation.Lower your costs, not your wages.Make more cars and semiconductors in America.More infrastructure and innovation in America.More goods moving faster and cheaper in America.More jobs where you can earn a good living in America.And instead of relying on foreign supply chains, let’s make it in America.Economists call it “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 say my plan will ease long-term inflationary pressures. Top business leaders and most Americans support my plan. And here’s the plan:First – cut the cost of prescription drugs. Just look at insulin. One in ten Americans has diabetes. In Virginia, I met a 13-year-old boy named Joshua Davis.He and his Dad both have Type 1 diabetes, which means they need insulin every day. Insulin costs about $10 a vial to make.But drug companies charge families like Joshua and his Dad up to 30 times more. I spoke with Joshua’s mom.Imagine what it’s like to look at your child who needs insulin and have no idea how you’re going to pay for it.What it does to your dignity, your ability to look your child in the eye, to be the parent you expect to be.Joshua is here with us tonight. Yesterday was his birthday. Happy birthday, buddy.For Joshua, and for the 200,000 other young people with Type 1 diabetes, let’s cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month so everyone can afford it.Drug companies will still do very well. And while we’re at it let Medicare negotiate lower prices for prescription drugs, like the VA already does.Look, the American Rescue Plan is helping millions of families on Affordable Care Act plans save $2,400 a year on their health care premiums. Let’s close the coverage gap and make those savings permanent.Second – cut energy costs for families an average of $500 a year by combatting climate change.Let’s provide investments and tax credits to weatherize your homes and businesses to be energy efficient and you get a tax credit; double America’s clean energy production in solar, wind, and so much more;  lower the price of electric vehicles, saving you another $80 a month because you’ll never have to pay at the gas pump again.Third – cut the cost of child care. Many families pay up to $14,000 a year for child care per child.Middle-class and working families shouldn’t have to pay more than 7% of their income for care of young children.My plan will cut the cost in half for most families and help parents, including millions of women, who left the workforce during the pandemic because they couldn’t afford child care, to be able to get back to work.My plan doesn’t stop there. It also includes home and long-term care. More affordable housing. And Pre-K for every 3- and 4-year-old.All of these will lower costs.And under my plan, nobody earning less than $400,000 a year will pay an additional penny in new taxes. Nobody.The one thing all Americans agree on is that the tax system is not fair. We have to fix it.I’m not looking to punish anyone. But let’s make sure corporations and the wealthiest Americans start paying their fair share.Just last year, 55 Fortune 500 corporations earned $40 billion in profits and paid zero dollars in federal income tax.That’s simply not fair. That’s why I’ve proposed a 15% minimum tax rate for corporations.We got more than 130 countries to agree on a global minimum tax rate so companies can’t get out of paying their taxes at home by shipping jobs and factories overseas.That’s why I’ve proposed closing loopholes so the very wealthy don’t pay a lower tax rate than a teacher or a firefighter.So that’s my plan. It will grow the economy and lower costs for families.So what are we waiting for? Let’s get this done. And while you’re at it, confirm my nominees to the Federal Reserve, which plays a critical role in fighting inflation.My plan will not only lower costs to give families a fair shot, it will lower the deficit.The previous Administration not only ballooned the deficit with tax cuts for the very wealthy and corporations, it undermined the watchdogs whose job was to keep pandemic relief funds from being wasted.But in my administration, the watchdogs have been welcomed back.We’re going after the criminals who stole billions in relief money meant for small businesses and millions of Americans.And tonight, I’m announcing that the Justice Department will name a chief prosecutor for pandemic fraud.By the end of this year, the deficit will be down to less than half what it was before I took office.The only president ever to cut the deficit by more than one trillion dollars in a single year.Lowering your costs also means demanding more competition.I’m a capitalist, but capitalism without competition isn’t capitalism.It’s exploitation—and it drives up prices.When corporations don’t have to compete, their profits go up, your prices go up, and small businesses and family farmers and ranchers go under.We see it happening with ocean carriers moving goods in and out of America.During the pandemic, these foreign-owned companies raised prices by as much as 1,000% and made record profits.Tonight, I’m announcing a crackdown on these companies overcharging American businesses and consumers.And as Wall Street firms take over more nursing homes, quality in those homes has gone down and costs have gone up.That ends on my watch.Medicare is going to set higher standards for nursing homes and make sure your loved ones get the care they deserve and expect.We’ll also cut costs and keep the economy going strong by giving workers a fair shot, provide more training and apprenticeships, hire them based on their skills not degrees.Let’s pass the Paycheck Fairness Act and paid leave.Raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and extend the Child Tax Credit, so no one has to raise a family in poverty.Let’s increase Pell Grants and increase our historic support of HBCUs, and invest in what Jill—our First Lady who teaches full-time—calls America’s best-kept secret: community colleges.And let’s pass the PRO Act when a majority of workers want to form a union—they shouldn’t be stopped.When we invest in our workers, when we build the economy from the bottom up and the middle out together, we can do something we haven’t done in a long time: build a better America.For more than two years, COVID-19 has impacted every decision in our lives and the life of the nation.And I know you’re tired, frustrated, and exhausted.But I also know this.Because of the progress we’ve made, because of your resilience and the tools we have, tonight I can saywe are moving forward safely, back to more normal routines.We’ve reached a new moment in the fight against COVID-19, with severe cases down to a level not seen since last July.Just a few days ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—the CDC—issued new mask guidelines.Under these new guidelines, most Americans in most of the country can now be mask free.And based on the projections, more of the country will reach that point across the next couple of weeks.Thanks to the progress we have made this past year, COVID-19 need no longer control our lives.I know some are talking about “living with COVID-19”. Tonight – I say that we will never just accept living with COVID-19.We will continue to combat the virus as we do other diseases. And because this is a virus that mutates and spreads, we will stay on guard.Here are four common sense steps as we move forward safely.First, stay protected with vaccines and treatments. We know how incredibly effective vaccines are. If you’re vaccinated and boosted you have the highest degree of protection.We will never give up on vaccinating more Americans. Now, I know parents with kids under 5 are eager to see a vaccine authorized for their children.The scientists are working hard to get that done and we’ll be ready with plenty of vaccines when they do.We’re also ready with anti-viral treatments. If you get COVID-19, the Pfizer pill reduces your chances of ending up in the hospital by 90%.We’ve ordered more of these pills than anyone in the world. And Pfizer is working overtime to get us 1 Million pills this month and more than double that next month.And we’re launching the “Test to Treat” initiative so people can get tested at a pharmacy, and if they’re positive, receive antiviral pills on the spot at no cost.If you’re immunocompromised or have some other vulnerability, we have treatments and free high-quality masks.We’re leaving no one behind or ignoring anyone’s needs as we move forward.And on testing, we have made hundreds of millions of tests available for you to order for free.Even if you already ordered free tests tonight, I am announcing that you can order more from covidtests.gov starting next week.Second – we must prepare for new variants. Over the past year, we’ve gotten much better at detecting new variants.If necessary, we’ll be able to deploy new vaccines within 100 days instead of many more months or years.And, if Congress provides the funds we need, we’ll have new stockpiles of tests, masks, and pills ready if needed.I cannot promise a new variant won’t come. But I can promise you we’ll do everything within our power to be ready if it does.Third – we can end the shutdown of schools and businesses. We have the tools we need.It’s time for Americans to get back to work and fill our great downtowns again.  People working from home can feel safe to begin to return to the office.We’re doing that here in the federal government. The vast majority of federal workers will once again work in person.Our schools are open. Let’s keep it that way. Our kids need to be in school.And with 75% of adult Americans fully vaccinated and hospitalizations down by 77%, most Americans can remove their masks, return to work, stay in the classroom, and move forward safely.We achieved this because we provided free vaccines, treatments, tests, and masks.Of course, continuing this costs money.I will soon send Congress a request.The vast majority of Americans have used these tools and may want to again, so I expect Congress to pass it quickly.Fourth, we will continue vaccinating the world.We’ve sent 475 Million vaccine doses to 112 countries, more than any other nation.And we won’t stop.We have lost so much to COVID-19. Time with one another. And worst of all, so much loss of life.Let’s use this moment to reset. Let’s stop looking at COVID-19 as a partisan dividing line and see it for what it is: A God-awful disease.Let’s stop seeing each other as enemies, and start seeing each other for who we really are: Fellow Americans.We can’t change how divided we’ve been. But we can change how we move forward—on COVID-19 and other issues we must face together.I recently visited the New York City Police Department days after the funerals of Officer Wilbert Mora and his partner, Officer Jason Rivera.They were responding to a 9-1-1 call when a man shot and killed them with a stolen gun.Officer Mora was 27 years old.Officer Rivera was 22.Both Dominican Americans who’d grown up on the same streets they later chose to patrol as police officers.I spoke with their families and told them that we are forever in debt for their sacrifice, and we will carry on their mission to restore the trust and safety every community deserves.I’ve worked on these issues a long time.I know what works: Investing in crime preventionand community police officers who’ll walk the beat, who’ll know the neighborhood, and who can restore trust and safety.So let’s not abandon our streets. Or choose between safety and equal justice.Let’s come together to protect our communities, restore trust, and hold law enforcement accountable.That’s why the Justice Department required body cameras, banned chokeholds, and restricted no-knock warrants for its officers.That’s why the American Rescue Plan provided $350 Billion that cities, states, and counties can use to hire more police and invest in proven strategies like community violence interruption—trusted messengers breaking the cycle of violence and trauma and giving young people hope.We should all agree: The answer is not to Defund the police. The answer is to FUND the police with the resources and training they need to protect our communities.I ask Democrats and Republicans alike: Pass my budget and keep our neighborhoods safe.And I will keep doing everything in my power to crack down on gun trafficking and ghost guns you can buy online and make at home—they have no serial numbers and can’t be traced.And I ask Congress to pass proven measures to reduce gun violence. Pass universal background checks. Why should anyone on a terrorist list be able to purchase a weapon?Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.Repeal the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry in America that can’t be sued.These laws don’t infringe on the Second Amendment. They save lives.The most fundamental right in America is the right to vote – and to have it counted. And it’s under assault.In state after state, new laws have been passed, not only to suppress the vote, but to subvert entire elections.We cannot let this happen.Tonight. I call on the Senate to: Pass the Freedom to Vote Act. Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. And while you’re at it, pass the Disclose Act so Americans can know who is funding our elections.Tonight, I’d like to honor someone who has dedicated his life to serve this country: Justice Stephen Breyer—an Army veteran, Constitutional scholar, and retiring Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Justice Breyer, thank you for your service.One of the most serious constitutional responsibilities a President has is nominating someone to serve on the United States Supreme Court.And I did that 4 days ago, when I nominated Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. One of our nation’s top legal minds, who will continue Justice Breyer’s legacy of excellence.A former top litigator in private practice. A former federal public defender. And from a family of public school educators and police officers. A consensus builder. Since she’s been nominated, she’s received a broad range of support—from the Fraternal Order of Police to former judges appointed by Democrats and Republicans.And if we are to advance liberty and justice, we need to secure the Border and fix the immigration system.We can do both. At our border, we’ve installed new technology like cutting-edge scanners to better detect drug smuggling.We’ve set up joint patrols with Mexico and Guatemala to catch more human traffickers.We’re putting in place dedicated immigration judges so families fleeing persecution and violence can have their cases heard faster.We’re securing commitments and supporting partners in South and Central America to host more refugees and secure their own borders.We can do all this while keeping lit the torch of liberty that has led generations of immigrants to this land—my forefathers and so many of yours.Provide a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, those on temporary status, farm workers, and essential workers.Revise our laws so businesses have the workers they need and families don’t wait decades to reunite.It’s not only the right thing to do—it’s the economically smart thing to do.That’s why immigration reform is supported by everyone from labor unions to religious leaders to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.Let’s get it done once and for all.Advancing liberty and justice also requires protecting the rights of women.The constitutional right affirmed in Roe v. Wade—standing precedent for half a century—is under attack as never before.If we want to go forward—not backward—we must protect access to health care. Preserve a woman’s right to choose. And let’s continue to advance maternal health care in America.And for our LGBTQ+ Americans, let’s finally get the bipartisan Equality Act to my desk. The onslaught of state laws targeting transgender Americans and their families is wrong.As I said last year, especially to our younger transgender Americans, I will always have your back as your President, so you can be yourself and reach your God-given potential.While it often appears that we never agree, that isn’t true. I signed 80 bipartisan bills into law last year. From preventing government shutdowns to protecting Asian-Americans from still-too-common hate crimes to reforming military justice.And soon, we’ll strengthen the Violence Against Women Act that I first wrote three decades ago. It is important for us to show the nation that we can come together and do big things.So tonight I’m offering a Unity Agenda for the Nation. Four big things we can do together.First, beat the opioid epidemic.There is so much we can do. Increase funding for prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery.Get rid of outdated rules that stop doctors from prescribing treatments. And stop the flow of illicit drugs by working with state and local law enforcement to go after traffickers.If you’re suffering from addiction, know you are not alone. I believe in recovery, and I celebrate the 23 million Americans in recovery.Second, let’s take on mental health. Especially among our children, whose lives and education have been turned upside down.The American Rescue Plan gave schools money to hire teachers and help students make up for lost learning.I urge every parent to make sure your school does just that. And we can all play a part—sign up to be a tutor or a mentor.Children were also struggling before the pandemic. Bullying, violence, trauma, and the harms of social media.As Frances Haugen, who is here with us tonight, has shown, we must hold social media platforms accountable for the national experiment they’re conducting on our children for profit.It’s time to strengthen privacy protections, ban targeted advertising to children, demand tech companies stop collecting personal data on our children.And let’s get all Americans the mental health services they need. More people they can turn to for help, and full parity between physical and mental health care.Third, support our veterans.Veterans are the best of us.I’ve always believed that we have a sacred obligation to equip all those we send to war and care for them and their families when they come home.My administration is providing assistance with job training and housing, and now helping lower-income veterans get VA care debt-free.Our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan faced many dangers.One was stationed at bases and breathing in toxic smoke from “burn pits” that incinerated wastes of war—medical and hazard material, jet fuel, and more.When they came home, many of the world’s fittest and best trained warriors were never the same.Headaches. Numbness. Dizziness.A cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin.I know.One of those soldiers was my son Major Beau Biden.We don’t know for sure if a burn pit was the cause of his brain cancer, or the diseases of so many of our troops.But I’m committed to finding out everything we can.Committed to military families like Danielle Robinson from Ohio.The widow of Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson.He was born a soldier. Army National Guard. Combat medic in Kosovo and Iraq.Stationed near Baghdad, just yards from burn pits the size of football fields.Heath’s widow Danielle is here with us tonight. They loved going to Ohio State football games. He loved building Legos with their daughter.But cancer from prolonged exposure to burn pits ravaged Heath’s lungs and body.Danielle says Heath was a fighter to the very end.He didn’t know how to stop fighting, and neither did she.Through her pain she found purpose to demand we do better.Tonight, Danielle—we are.The VA is pioneering new ways of linking toxic exposures to diseases, already helping more veterans get benefits.And tonight, I’m announcing we’re expanding eligibility to veterans suffering from nine respiratory cancers.I’m also calling on Congress: pass a law to make sure veterans devastated by toxic exposures in Iraq and Afghanistan finally get the benefits and comprehensive health care they deserve.And fourth, let’s end cancer as we know it.This is personal to me and Jill, to Kamala, and to so many of you.Cancer is the #2 cause of death in America–second only to heart disease.Last month, I announced our plan to superchargethe Cancer Moonshot that President Obama asked me to lead six years ago.Our goal is to cut the cancer death rate by at least 50% over the next 25 years, turn more cancers from death sentences into treatable diseases.More support for patients and families.To get there, I call on Congress to fund ARPA-H, the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health.It’s based on DARPA—the Defense Department project that led to the Internet, GPS, and so much more.ARPA-H will have a singular purpose—to drive breakthroughs in cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and more.A unity agenda for the nation.We can do this.My fellow Americans—tonight , we have gathered in a sacred space—the citadel of our democracy.In this Capitol, generation after generation, Americans have debated great questions amid great strife, and have done great things.We have fought for freedom, expanded liberty, defeated totalitarianism and terror.And built the strongest, freest, and most prosperous nation the world has ever known.Now is the hour.Our moment of responsibility.Our test of resolve and conscience, of history itself.It is in this moment that our character is formed. Our purpose is found. Our future is forged.Well I know this nation.We will meet the test.To protect freedom and liberty, to expand fairness and opportunity.We will save democracy.As hard as these times have been, I am more optimistic about America today than I have been my whole life.Because I see the future that is within our grasp.Because I know there is simply nothing beyond our capacity.We are the only nation on Earth that has always turned every crisis we have faced into an opportunity.The only nation that can be defined by a single word: possibilities.So on this night, in our 245th year as a nation, I have come to report on the State of the Union.And my report is this: the State of the Union is strong—because you, the American people, are strong.We are stronger today than we were a year ago.And we will be stronger a year from now than we are today.Now is our moment to meet and overcome the challenges of our time.And we will, as one people.One America.The United States of America.May God bless you all. May God protect our troops.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":68,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9033182543,"gmtCreate":1646218528518,"gmtModify":1676534104901,"author":{"id":"4088594279252790","authorId":"4088594279252790","name":"RoosterCK","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/95d82027a8a87481178ec45908742b11","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088594279252790","authorIdStr":"4088594279252790"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Biden

address during a joint session of Congress in the U.S. Capitol’s House Chamber on March 01, 2022 in Washington.</span></p><p>Here is the full text, as prepared for delivery, of President Joe Biden’s first State of the Union address, as released Tuesday by the White House.</p><p>Madam Speaker, Madam Vice President, our First Lady and Second Gentleman. Members of Congress and the Cabinet. Justices of the Supreme Court. My fellow Americans.</p><p>Last year COVID-19 kept us apart. This year we are finally together again.</p><p>Tonight, we meet as Democrats Republicans and Independents. But most importantly as Americans.</p><p>With a duty to one another to the American people to the Constitution.</p><p>And with an unwavering resolve that freedom will always triumph over tyranny.</p><p>Six days ago, Russia’s Vladimir Putin sought to shake the foundations of the free world thinking he could make it bend to his menacing ways. But he badly miscalculated.</p><p>He thought he could roll into Ukraine and the world would roll over. Instead he met a wall of strength he never imagined.</p><p>He met the Ukrainian people.</p><p>From President Zelenskyy to every Ukrainian, their fearlessness, their courage, their determination, inspires the world.</p><p>Groups of citizens blocking tanks with their bodies. Everyone from students to retirees teachers turned soldiers defending their homeland.</p><p>In this struggle as President Zelenskyy said in his speech to the European Parliament “Light will win over darkness.” The Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States is here tonight.</p><p>Let each of us here tonight in this Chamber send an unmistakable signal to Ukraine and to the world.</p><p>Please rise if you are able and show that, Yes, we the United States of America stand with the Ukrainian people.</p><p>Throughout our history we’ve learned this lesson when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression they cause more chaos.</p><p>They keep moving.</p><p>And the costs and the threats to America and the world keep rising.</p><p>That’s why the NATO Alliance was created to secure peace and stability in Europe after World War 2.</p><p>The United States is a member along with 29 other nations.</p><p>It matters. American diplomacy matters. American resolve matters.</p><p>Putin’s latest attack on Ukraine was premeditated and unprovoked.</p><p>He rejected repeated efforts at diplomacy.</p><p>He thought the West and NATO wouldn’t respond. And he thought he could divide us at home. Putin was wrong. We were ready.  Here is what we did.</p><p>We prepared extensively and carefully.</p><p>We spent months building a coalition of other freedom-loving nations from Europe and the Americas to Asia and Africa to confront Putin.</p><p>I spent countless hours unifying our European allies. We shared with the world in advance what we knew Putin was planning and precisely how he would try to falsely justify his aggression.</p><p>We countered Russia’s lies with truth.</p><p>And now that he has acted the free world is holding him accountable.</p><p>Along with twenty-seven members of the European Union including France, Germany, Italy, as well as countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and many others, even Switzerland.</p><p>We are inflicting pain on Russia and supporting the people of Ukraine. Putin is now isolated from the world more than ever.</p><p>Together with our allies –we are right now enforcing powerful economic sanctions.</p><p>We are cutting off Russia’s largest banks from the international financial system.</p><p>Preventing Russia’s central bank from defending the Russian Ruble making Putin’s $630 Billion “war fund” worthless.</p><p>We are choking off Russia’s access to technology that will sap its economic strength and weaken its military for years to come.</p><p>Tonight I say to the Russian oligarchs and corrupt leaders who have bilked billions of dollars off this violent regime no more.</p><p>The U.S. Department of Justice is assembling a dedicated task force to go after the crimes of Russian oligarchs.</p><p>We are joining with our European allies to find and seize your yachts your luxury apartments your private jets. We are coming for your ill-begotten gains.</p><p>And tonight I am announcing that we will join our allies in closing off American air space to all Russian flights – further isolating Russia – and adding an additional squeeze –on their economy. The Ruble has lost 30% of its value.</p><p>The Russian stock market has lost 40% of its value and trading remains suspended. Russia’s economy is reeling and Putin alone is to blame.</p><p>Together with our allies we are providing support to the Ukrainians in their fight for freedom. Military assistance. Economic assistance. Humanitarian assistance.</p><p>We are giving more than $1 Billion in direct assistance to Ukraine.</p><p>And we will continue to aid the Ukrainian people as they defend their country and to help ease their suffering.</p><p>Let me be clear, our forces are not engaged and will not engage in conflict with Russian forces in Ukraine.</p><p>Our forces are not going to Europe to fight in Ukraine, but to defend our NATO Allies – in the event that Putin decides to keep moving west.</p><p>For that purpose we’ve mobilized American ground forces, air squadrons, and ship deployments to protect NATO countries including Poland, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.</p><p>As I have made crystal clear the United States and our Allies will defend every inch of territory of NATO countries with the full force of our collective power.</p><p>And we remain clear-eyed. The Ukrainians are fighting back with pure courage. But the next few days weeks, months, will be hard on them.</p><p>Putin has unleashed violence and chaos.  But while he may make gains on the battlefield – he will pay a continuing high price over the long run.</p><p>And a proud Ukrainian people, who have known 30 years  of independence, have repeatedly shown that they will not tolerate anyone who tries to take their country backwards.</p><p>To all Americans, I will be honest with you, as I’ve always promised. A Russian dictator, invading a foreign country, has costs around the world.</p><p>And I’m taking robust action to make sure the pain of our sanctions  is targeted at Russia’s economy. And I will use every tool at our disposal to protect American businesses and consumers.</p><p>Tonight, I can announce that the United States has worked with 30 other countries to release 60 Million barrels of oil from reserves around the world.</p><p>America will lead that effort, releasing 30 Million barrels from our own Strategic Petroleum Reserve. And we stand ready to do more if necessary, unified with our allies.</p><p>These steps will help blunt gas prices here at home. And I know the news about what’s happening can seem alarming.</p><p>But I want you to know that we are going to be okay.</p><p>When the history of this era is written Putin’s war on Ukraine will have left Russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger.</p><p>While it shouldn’t have taken something so terrible for people around the world to see what’s at stake now everyone sees it clearly.</p><p>We see the unity among leaders of nations and a more unified Europe a more unified West. And we see unity among the people who are gathering in cities in large crowds around the world even in Russia to demonstrate their support for Ukraine.</p><p>In the battle between democracy and autocracy, democracies are rising to the moment, and the world is clearly choosing the side of peace and security.</p><p>This is a real test. It’s going to take time. So let us continue to draw inspiration from the iron will of the Ukrainian people.</p><p>To our fellow Ukrainian Americans who forge a deep bond that connects our two nations we stand with you.</p><p>Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he will never gain the hearts and souls of the Ukrainian people.</p><p>He will never extinguish their love of freedom. He will never weaken the resolve of the free world.</p><p>We meet tonight in an America that has lived through two of the hardest years this nation has ever faced.</p><p>The pandemic has been punishing.</p><p>And so many families are living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to keep up with the rising cost of food, gas, housing, and so much more.</p><p>I understand.</p><p>I remember when my Dad had to leave our home in Scranton, Pennsylvania to find work. I grew up in a family where if the price of food went up, you felt it.</p><p>That’s why one of the first things I did as President was fight to pass the American Rescue Plan.</p><p>Because people were hurting. We needed to act, and we did.</p><p>Few pieces of legislation have done more in a critical moment in our history to lift us out of crisis.</p><p>It fueled our efforts to vaccinate the nation and combat COVID-19. It delivered immediate economic relief for tens of millions of Americans.</p><p>Helped put food on their table, keep a roof over their heads, and cut the cost of health insurance.</p><p>And as my Dad used to say, it gave people a little breathing room.</p><p>And unlike the $2 Trillion tax cut passed in the previous administration that benefitted the top 1% of Americans, the American Rescue Plan helped working people—and left no one behind.</p><p>And it worked. It created jobs. Lots of jobs.</p><p>In fact—our economy created over 6.5 Million new jobs just last year, more jobs created in one year</p><p>than ever before in the history of America.</p><p>Our economy grew at a rate of 5.7% last year, the strongest growth in nearly 40 years, the first step in bringing fundamental change to an economy that hasn’t worked for the working people of this nation for too long.</p><p>For the past 40 years we were told that if we gave tax breaks to those at the very top, the benefits would trickle down to everyone else.</p><p>But that trickle-down theory led to weaker economic growth, lower wages, bigger deficits, and the widest gap between those at the top and everyone else in nearly a century.</p><p>Vice President Harris and I ran for office with a new economic vision for America.</p><p>Invest in America. Educate Americans. Grow the workforce. Build the economy from the bottom up</p><p>and the middle out, not from the top down.</p><p>Because we know that when the middle class grows, the poor have a ladder up and the wealthy do very well.</p><p>America used to have the best roads, bridges, and airports on Earth.</p><p>Now our infrastructure is ranked 13th in the world.</p><p>We won’t be able to compete for the jobs of the 21st Century if we don’t fix that.</p><p>That’s why it was so important to pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—the most sweeping investment to rebuild America in history.</p><p>This was a bipartisan effort, and I want to thank the members of both parties who worked to make it happen.</p><p>We’re done talking about infrastructure weeks.</p><p>We’re going to have an infrastructure decade.</p><p>It is going to transform America and put us on a path to win the economic competition of the 21st Century that we face with the rest of the world—particularly with China.</p><p>As I’ve told Xi Jinping, it is never a good bet to bet against the American people.</p><p>We’ll create good jobs for millions of Americans, modernizing roads, airports, ports, and waterways all across America.</p><p>And we’ll do it all to withstand the devastating effects of the climate crisis and promote environmental justice.</p><p>We’ll build a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations, begin to replace poisonous lead pipes—so every child—and every American—has clean water to drink at home and at school, provide affordable high-speed internet for every American—urban, suburban, rural, and tribal communities.</p><p>4,000 projects have already been announced.</p><p>And tonight, I’m announcing that this year we will start fixing over 65,000 miles of highway and 1,500 bridges in disrepair.</p><p>When we use taxpayer dollars to rebuild America – we are going to Buy American: buy American products to support American jobs.</p><p>The federal government spends about $600 Billion a year to keep the country safe and secure.</p><p>There’s been a law on the books for almost a century</p><p>to make sure taxpayers’ dollars support American jobs and businesses.</p><p>Every Administration says they’ll do it, but we are actually doing it.</p><p>We will buy American to make sure everything from the deck of an aircraft carrier to the steel on highway guardrails are made in America.</p><p>But to compete for the best jobs of the future, we also need to level the playing field with China and other competitors.</p><p>That’s why it is so important to pass the Bipartisan Innovation Act sitting in Congress that will make record investments in emerging technologies and American manufacturing.</p><p>Let me give you one example of why it’s so important to pass it.</p><p>If you travel 20 miles east of Columbus, Ohio, you’ll find 1,000 empty acres of land.</p><p>It won’t look like much, but if you stop and look closely, you’ll see a “Field of dreams,” the ground on which America’s future will be built.</p><p>This is where Intel, the American company that helped build Silicon Valley, is going to build its $20 billion semiconductor “mega site”.</p><p>Up to eight state-of-the-art factories in one place. 10,000 new good-paying jobs.</p><p>Some of the most sophisticated manufacturing in the world to make computer chips the size of a fingertip that power the world and our everyday lives.</p><p>Smartphones. The Internet. Technology we have yet to invent.</p><p>But that’s just the beginning.</p><p>Intel’s CEO, Pat Gelsinger, who is here tonight, told me they are ready to increase their investment from</p><p>$20 billion to $100 billion.</p><p>That would be one of the biggest investments in manufacturing in American history.</p><p>And all they’re waiting for is for you to pass this bill.</p><p>So let’s not wait any longer. Send it to my desk. I’ll sign it.</p><p>And we will really take off.</p><p>And Intel is not alone.</p><p>There’s something happening in America.</p><p>Just look around and you’ll see an amazing story.</p><p>The rebirth of the pride that comes from stamping products “Made In America.” The revitalization of American manufacturing.</p><p>Companies are choosing to build new factories here, when just a few years ago, they would have built them overseas.</p><p>That’s what is happening.

Top business leaders and most Americans support my plan. And here’s the plan:</p><p>First – cut the cost of prescription drugs. Just look at insulin. One in ten Americans has diabetes. In Virginia, I met a 13-year-old boy named Joshua Davis.</p><p>He and his Dad both have Type 1 diabetes, which means they need insulin every day. Insulin costs about $10 a vial to make.</p><p>But drug companies charge families like Joshua and his Dad up to 30 times more. I spoke with Joshua’s mom.</p><p>Imagine what it’s like to look at your child who needs insulin and have no idea how you’re going to pay for it.</p><p>What it does to your dignity, your ability to look your child in the eye, to be the parent you expect to be.</p><p>Joshua is here with us tonight. Yesterday was his birthday. Happy birthday, buddy.</p><p>For Joshua, and for the 200,000 other young people with Type 1 diabetes, let’s cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month so everyone can afford it.</p><p>Drug companies will still do very well. And while we’re at it let Medicare negotiate lower prices for prescription drugs, like the VA already does.</p><p>Look, the American Rescue Plan is helping millions of families on Affordable Care Act plans save $2,400 a year on their health care premiums. Let’s close the coverage gap and make those savings permanent.</p><p>Second – cut energy costs for families an average of $500 a year by combatting climate change.</p><p>Let’s provide investments and tax credits to weatherize your homes and businesses to be energy efficient and you get a tax credit; double America’s clean energy production in solar, wind, and so much more;  lower the price of electric vehicles, saving you another $80 a month because you’ll never have to pay at the gas pump again.</p><p>Third – cut the cost of child care. Many families pay up to $14,000 a year for child care per child.</p><p>Middle-class and working families shouldn’t have to pay more than 7% of their income for care of young children.</p><p>My plan will cut the cost in half for most families and help parents, including millions of women, who left the workforce during the pandemic because they couldn’t afford child care, to be able to get back to work.</p><p>My plan doesn’t stop there. It also includes home and long-term care. More affordable housing. And Pre-K for every 3- and 4-year-old.</p><p>All of these will lower costs.</p><p>And under my plan, nobody earning less than $400,000 a year will pay an additional penny in new taxes. Nobody.</p><p>The one thing all Americans agree on is that the tax system is not fair. We have to fix it.</p><p>I’m not looking to punish anyone. But let’s make sure corporations and the wealthiest Americans start paying their fair share.</p><p>Just last year, 55 Fortune 500 corporations earned $40 billion in profits and paid zero dollars in federal income tax.</p><p>That’s simply not fair. That’s why I’ve proposed a 15% minimum tax rate for corporations.</p><p>We got more than 130 countries to agree on a global minimum tax rate so companies can’t get out of paying their taxes at home by shipping jobs and factories overseas.</p><p>That’s why I’ve proposed closing loopholes so the very wealthy don’t pay a lower tax rate than a teacher or a firefighter.</p><p>So that’s my plan. It will grow the economy and lower costs for families.</p><p>So what are we waiting for? Let’s get this done. And while you’re at it, confirm my nominees to the Federal Reserve, which plays a critical role in fighting inflation.</p><p>My plan will not only lower costs to give families a fair shot, it will lower the deficit.</p><p>The previous Administration not only ballooned the deficit with tax cuts for the very wealthy and corporations, it undermined the watchdogs whose job was to keep pandemic relief funds from being wasted.</p><p>But in my administration, the watchdogs have been welcomed back.</p><p>We’re going after the criminals who stole billions in relief money meant for small businesses and millions of Americans.</p><p>And tonight, I’m announcing that the Justice Department will name a chief prosecutor for pandemic fraud.</p><p>By the end of this year, the deficit will be down to less than half what it was before I took office.</p><p>The only president ever to cut the deficit by more than one trillion dollars in a single year.</p><p>Lowering your costs also means demanding more competition.</p><p>I’m a capitalist, but capitalism without competition isn’t capitalism.</p><p>It’s exploitation—and it drives up prices.</p><p>When corporations don’t have to compete, their profits go up, your prices go up, and small businesses and family farmers and ranchers go under.</p><p>We see it happening with ocean carriers moving goods in and out of America.</p><p>During the pandemic, these foreign-owned companies raised prices by as much as 1,000% and made record profits.</p><p>Tonight, I’m announcing a crackdown on these companies overcharging American businesses and consumers.</p><p>And as Wall Street firms take over more nursing homes, quality in those homes has gone down and costs have gone up.</p><p>That ends on my watch.</p><p>Medicare is going to set higher standards for nursing homes and make sure your loved ones get the care they deserve and expect.</p><p>We’ll also cut costs and keep the economy going strong by giving workers a fair shot, provide more training and apprenticeships, hire them based on their skills not degrees.</p><p>Let’s pass the Paycheck Fairness Act and paid leave.</p><p>Raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and extend the Child Tax Credit, so no one has to raise a family in poverty.</p><p>Let’s increase Pell Grants and increase our historic support of HBCUs, and invest in what Jill—our First Lady who teaches full-time—calls America’s best-kept secret: community colleges.</p><p>And let’s pass the PRO Act when a majority of workers want to form a union—they shouldn’t be stopped.</p><p>When we invest in our workers, when we build the economy from the bottom up and the middle out together, we can do something we haven’t done in a long time: build a better America.</p><p>For more than two years, COVID-19 has impacted every decision in our lives and the life of the nation.</p><p>And I know you’re tired, frustrated, and exhausted.</p><p>But I also know this.</p><p>Because of the progress we’ve made, because of your resilience and the tools we have, tonight I can say</p><p>we are moving forward safely, back to more normal routines.</p><p>We’ve reached a new moment in the fight against COVID-19, with severe cases down to a level not seen since last July.</p><p>Just a few days ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—the CDC—issued new mask guidelines.</p><p>Under these new guidelines, most Americans in most of the country can now be mask free.</p><p>And based on the projections, more of the country will reach that point across the next couple of weeks.</p><p>Thanks to the progress we have made this past year, COVID-19 need no longer control our lives.</p><p>I know some are talking about “living with COVID-19”. Tonight – I say that we will never just accept living with COVID-19.</p><p>We will continue to combat the virus as we do other diseases. And because this is a virus that mutates and spreads, we will stay on guard.</p><p>Here are four common sense steps as we move forward safely.</p><p>First, stay protected with vaccines and treatments. We know how incredibly effective vaccines are. If you’re vaccinated and boosted you have the highest degree of protection.</p><p>We will never give up on vaccinating more Americans. Now, I know parents with kids under 5 are eager to see a vaccine authorized for their children.</p><p>The scientists are working hard to get that done and we’ll be ready with plenty of vaccines when they do.</p><p>We’re also ready with anti-viral treatments. If you get COVID-19, the Pfizer pill reduces your chances of ending up in the hospital by 90%.</p><p>We’ve ordered more of these pills than anyone in the world. And Pfizer is working overtime to get us 1 Million pills this month and more than double that next month.</p><p>And we’re launching the “Test to Treat” initiative so people can get tested at a pharmacy, and if they’re positive, receive antiviral pills on the spot at no cost.</p><p>If you’re immunocompromised or have some other vulnerability, we have treatments and free high-quality masks.</p><p>We’re leaving no one behind or ignoring anyone’s needs as we move forward.</p><p>And on testing, we have made hundreds of millions of tests available for you to order for free.</p><p>Even if you already ordered free tests tonight, I am announcing that you can order more from <a href=\"http://covidtests.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">covidtests.gov</a> starting next week.</p><p>Second – we must prepare for new variants. Over the past year, we’ve gotten much better at detecting new variants.</p><p>If necessary, we’ll be able to deploy new vaccines within 100 days instead of many more months or years.</p><p>And, if Congress provides the funds we need, we’ll have new stockpiles of tests, masks, and pills ready if needed.</p><p>I cannot promise a new variant won’t come. But I can promise you we’ll do everything within our power to be ready if it does.</p><p>Third – we can end the shutdown of schools and businesses. We have the tools we need.</p><p>It’s time for Americans to get back to work and fill our great downtowns again.  People working from home can feel safe to begin to return to the office.</p><p>We’re doing that here in the federal government. The vast majority of federal workers will once again work in person.</p><p>Our schools are open. Let’s keep it that way. Our kids need to be in school.</p><p>And with 75% of adult Americans fully vaccinated and hospitalizations down by 77%, most Americans can remove their masks, return to work, stay in the classroom, and move forward safely.</p><p>We achieved this because we provided free vaccines, treatments, tests, and masks.</p><p>Of course, continuing this costs money.</p><p>I will soon send Congress a request.</p><p>The vast majority of Americans have used these tools and may want to again, so I expect Congress to pass it quickly.</p><p>Fourth, we will continue vaccinating the world.</p><p>We’ve sent 475 Million vaccine doses to 112 countries, more than any other nation.</p><p>And we won’t stop.</p><p>We have lost so much to COVID-19. Time with one another. And worst of all, so much loss of life.</p><p>Let’s use this moment to reset. Let’s stop looking at COVID-19 as a partisan dividing line and see it for what it is: A God-awful disease.</p><p>Let’s stop seeing each other as enemies, and start seeing each other for who we really are: Fellow Americans.</p><p>We can’t change how divided we’ve been. But we can change how we move forward—on COVID-19 and other issues we must face together.</p><p>I recently visited the New York City Police Department days after the funerals of Officer Wilbert Mora and his partner, Officer Jason Rivera.</p><p>They were responding to a 9-1-1 call when a man shot and killed them with a stolen gun.</p><p>Officer Mora was 27 years old.</p><p>Officer Rivera was 22.</p><p>Both Dominican Americans who’d grown up on the same streets they later chose to patrol as police officers.</p><p>I spoke with their families and told them that we are forever in debt for their sacrifice, and we will carry on their mission to restore the trust and safety every community deserves.</p><p>I’ve worked on these issues a long time.</p><p>I know what works: Investing in crime preventionand community police officers who’ll walk the beat, who’ll know the neighborhood, and who can restore trust and safety.</p><p>So let’s not abandon our streets. Or choose between safety and equal justice.</p><p>Let’s come together to protect our communities, restore trust, and hold law enforcement accountable.</p><p>That’s why the Justice Department required body cameras, banned chokeholds, and restricted no-knock warrants for its officers.</p><p>That’s why the American Rescue Plan provided $350 Billion that cities, states, and counties can use to hire more police and invest in proven strategies like community violence interruption—trusted messengers breaking the cycle of violence and trauma and giving young people hope.</p><p>We should all agree: The answer is not to Defund the police. The answer is to FUND the police with the resources and training they need to protect our communities.</p><p>I ask Democrats and Republicans alike: Pass my budget and keep our neighborhoods safe.</p><p>And I will keep doing everything in my power to crack down on gun trafficking and ghost guns you can buy online and make at home—they have no serial numbers and can’t be traced.</p><p>And I ask Congress to pass proven measures to reduce gun violence. Pass universal background checks. Why should anyone on a terrorist list be able to purchase a weapon?</p><p>Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.</p><p>Repeal the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry in America that can’t be sued.</p><p>These laws don’t infringe on the Second Amendment. They save lives.</p><p>The most fundamental right in America is the right to vote – and to have it counted. And it’s under assault.</p><p>In state after state, new laws have been passed, not only to suppress the vote, but to subvert entire elections.</p><p>We cannot let this happen.</p><p>Tonight. I call on the Senate to: Pass the Freedom to Vote Act. Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. And while you’re at it, pass the Disclose Act so Americans can know who is funding our elections.</p><p>Tonight, I’d like to honor someone who has dedicated his life to serve this country: Justice Stephen Breyer—an Army veteran, Constitutional scholar, and retiring Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Justice Breyer, thank you for your service.</p><p>One of the most serious constitutional responsibilities a President has is nominating someone to serve on the United States Supreme Court.</p><p>And I did that 4 days ago, when I nominated Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. One of our nation’s top legal minds, who will continue Justice Breyer’s legacy of excellence.</p><p>A former top litigator in private practice. A former federal public defender. And from a family of public school educators and police officers. A consensus builder. Since she’s been nominated, she’s received a broad range of support—from the Fraternal Order of Police to former judges appointed by Democrats and Republicans.</p><p>And if we are to advance liberty and justice, we need to secure the Border and fix the immigration system.</p><p>We can do both. At our border, we’ve installed new technology like cutting-edge scanners to better detect drug smuggling.</p><p>We’ve set up joint patrols with Mexico and Guatemala to catch more human traffickers.</p><p>We’re putting in place dedicated immigration judges so families fleeing persecution and violence can have their cases heard faster.</p><p>We’re securing commitments and supporting partners in South and Central America to host more refugees and secure their own borders.</p><p>We can do all this while keeping lit the torch of liberty that has led generations of immigrants to this land—my forefathers and so many of yours.</p><p>Provide a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, those on temporary status, farm workers, and essential workers.</p><p>Revise our laws so businesses have the workers they need and families don’t wait decades to reunite.</p><p>It’s not only the right thing to do—it’s the economically smart thing to do.</p><p>That’s why immigration reform is supported by everyone from labor unions to religious leaders to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.</p><p>Let’s get it done once and for all.</p><p>Advancing liberty and justice also requires protecting the rights of women.</p><p>The constitutional right affirmed in Roe v. Wade—standing precedent for half a century—is under attack as never before.</p><p>If we want to go forward—not backward—we must protect access to health care. Preserve a woman’s right to choose. And let’s continue to advance maternal health care in America.</p><p>And for our LGBTQ+ Americans, let’s finally get the bipartisan Equality Act to my desk. The onslaught of state laws targeting transgender Americans and their families is wrong.</p><p>As I said last year, especially to our younger transgender Americans, I will always have your back as your President, so you can be yourself and reach your God-given potential.</p><p>While it often appears that we never agree, that isn’t true. I signed 80 bipartisan bills into law last year. From preventing government shutdowns to protecting Asian-Americans from still-too-common hate crimes to reforming military justice.</p><p>And soon, we’ll strengthen the Violence Against Women Act that I first wrote three decades ago. It is important for us to show the nation that we can come together and do big things.</p><p>So tonight I’m offering a Unity Agenda for the Nation. Four big things we can do together.</p><p>First, beat the opioid epidemic.</p><p>There is so much we can do. Increase funding for prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery.</p><p>Get rid of outdated rules that stop doctors from prescribing treatments. And stop the flow of illicit drugs by working with state and local law enforcement to go after traffickers.</p><p>If you’re suffering from addiction, know you are not alone. I believe in recovery, and I celebrate the 23 million Americans in recovery.</p><p>Second, let’s take on mental health. Especially among our children, whose lives and education have been turned upside down.</p><p>The American Rescue Plan gave schools money to hire teachers and help students make up for lost learning.</p><p>I urge every parent to make sure your school does just that. And we can all play a part—sign up to be a tutor or a mentor.</p><p>Children were also struggling before the pandemic. Bullying, violence, trauma, and the harms of social media.</p><p>As Frances Haugen, who is here with us tonight, has shown, we must hold social media platforms accountable for the national experiment they’re conducting on our children for profit.</p><p>It’s time to strengthen privacy protections, ban targeted advertising to children, demand tech companies stop collecting personal data on our children.</p><p>And let’s get all Americans the mental health services they need. More people they can turn to for help, and full parity between physical and mental health care.</p><p>Third, support our veterans.</p><p>Veterans are the best of us.</p><p>I’ve always believed that we have a sacred obligation to equip all those we send to war and care for them and their families when they come home.</p><p>My administration is providing assistance with job training and housing, and now helping lower-income veterans get VA care debt-free.</p><p>Our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan faced many dangers.</p><p>One was stationed at bases and breathing in toxic smoke from “burn pits” that incinerated wastes of war—medical and hazard material, jet fuel, and more.</p><p>When they came home, many of the world’s fittest and best trained warriors were never the same.</p><p>Headaches. Numbness. Dizziness.</p><p>A cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin.</p><p>I know.</p><p>One of those soldiers was my son Major Beau Biden.</p><p>We don’t know for sure if a burn pit was the cause of his brain cancer, or the diseases of so many of our troops.</p><p>But I’m committed to finding out everything we can.</p><p>Committed to military families like Danielle Robinson from Ohio.</p><p>The widow of Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson.</p><p>He was born a soldier. Army National Guard. Combat medic in Kosovo and Iraq.</p><p>Stationed near Baghdad, just yards from burn pits the size of football fields.</p><p>Heath’s widow Danielle is here with us tonight. They loved going to Ohio State football games. He loved building Legos with their daughter.</p><p>But cancer from prolonged exposure to burn pits ravaged Heath’s lungs and body.</p><p>Danielle says Heath was a fighter to the very end.</p><p>He didn’t know how to stop fighting, and neither did she.</p><p>Through her pain she found purpose to demand we do better.</p><p>Tonight, Danielle—we are.</p><p>The VA is pioneering new ways of linking toxic exposures to diseases, already helping more veterans get benefits.</p><p>And tonight, I’m announcing we’re expanding eligibility to veterans suffering from nine respiratory cancers.</p><p>I’m also calling on Congress: pass a law to make sure veterans devastated by toxic exposures in Iraq and Afghanistan finally get the benefits and comprehensive health care they deserve.</p><p>And fourth, let’s end cancer as we know it.</p><p>This is personal to me and Jill, to Kamala, and to so many of you.</p><p>Cancer is the #2 cause of death in America–second only to heart disease.</p><p>Last month, I announced our plan to supercharge</p><p>the Cancer Moonshot that President Obama asked me to lead six years ago.</p><p>Our goal is to cut the cancer death rate by at least 50% over the next 25 years, turn more cancers from death sentences into treatable diseases.</p><p>More support for patients and families.</p><p>To get there, I call on Congress to fund ARPA-H, the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health.</p><p>It’s based on DARPA—the Defense Department project that led to the Internet, GPS, and so much more.</p><p>ARPA-H will have a singular purpose—to drive breakthroughs in cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and more.</p><p>A unity agenda for the nation.</p><p>We can do this.</p><p>My fellow Americans—tonight , we have gathered in a sacred space—the citadel of our democracy.</p><p>In this Capitol, generation after generation, Americans have debated great questions amid great strife, and have done great things.</p><p>We have fought for freedom, expanded liberty, defeated totalitarianism and terror.</p><p>And built the strongest, freest, and most prosperous nation the world has ever known.</p><p>Now is the hour.</p><p>Our moment of responsibility.</p><p>Our test of resolve and conscience, of history itself.</p><p>It is in this moment that our character is formed. Our purpose is found. Our future is forged.</p><p>Well I know this nation.</p><p>We will meet the test.</p><p>To protect freedom and liberty, to expand fairness and opportunity.</p><p>We will save democracy.</p><p>As hard as these times have been, I am more optimistic about America today than I have been my whole life.</p><p>Because I see the future that is within our grasp.</p><p>Because I know there is simply nothing beyond our capacity.</p><p>We are the only nation on Earth that has always turned every crisis we have faced into an opportunity.</p><p>The only nation that can be defined by a single word: possibilities.</p><p>So on this night, in our 245th year as a nation, I have come to report on the State of the Union.</p><p>And my report is this: the State of the Union is strong—because you, the American people, are strong.</p><p>We are

Russia-Ukraine conflict, COVID in focus in president’s first State of the Union addressPresident Joe Biden delivers the State of the Union address during a joint session of Congress in the U.S. Capitol’s House Chamber on March 01, 2022 in Washington.Here is the full text, as prepared for delivery, of President Joe Biden’s first State of the Union address, as released Tuesday by the White House.Madam Speaker, Madam Vice President, our First Lady and Second Gentleman. Members of Congress and the Cabinet. Justices of the Supreme Court. My fellow Americans.Last year COVID-19 kept us apart. This year we are finally together again.Tonight, we meet as Democrats Republicans and Independents. But most importantly as Americans.With a duty to one another to the American people to the Constitution.And with an unwavering resolve that freedom will always triumph over tyranny.Six days ago, Russia’s Vladimir Putin sought to shake the foundations of the free world thinking he could make it bend to his menacing ways. But he badly miscalculated.He thought he could roll into Ukraine and the world would roll over. Instead he met a wall of strength he never imagined.He met the Ukrainian people.From President Zelenskyy to every Ukrainian, their fearlessness, their courage, their determination, inspires the world.Groups of citizens blocking tanks with their bodies. Everyone from students to retirees teachers turned soldiers defending their homeland.In this struggle as President Zelenskyy said in his speech to the European Parliament “Light will win over darkness.” The Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States is here tonight.Let each of us here tonight in this Chamber send an unmistakable signal to Ukraine and to the world.Please rise if you are able and show that, Yes, we the United States of America stand with the Ukrainian people.Throughout our history we’ve learned this lesson when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression they cause more chaos.They keep moving.And the costs and the threats to America and the world keep rising.That’s why the NATO Alliance was created to secure peace and stability in Europe after World War 2.The United States is a member along with 29 other nations.It matters. American diplomacy matters. American resolve matters.Putin’s latest attack on Ukraine was premeditated and unprovoked.He rejected repeated efforts at diplomacy.He thought the West and NATO wouldn’t respond. And he thought he could divide us at home. Putin was wrong. We were ready.  Here is what we did.We prepared extensively and carefully.We spent months building a coalition of other freedom-loving nations from Europe and the Americas to Asia and Africa to confront Putin.I spent countless hours unifying our European allies. We shared with the world in advance what we knew Putin was planning and precisely how he would try to falsely justify his aggression.We countered Russia’s lies with truth.And now that he has acted the free world is holding him accountable.Along with twenty-seven members of the European Union including France, Germany, Italy, as well as countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and many others, even Switzerland.We are inflicting pain on Russia and supporting the people of Ukraine. Putin is now isolated from the world more than ever.Together with our allies –we are right now enforcing powerful economic sanctions.We are cutting off Russia’s largest banks from the international financial system.Preventing Russia’s central bank from defending the Russian Ruble making Putin’s $630 Billion “war fund” worthless.We are choking off Russia’s access to technology that will sap its economic strength and weaken its military for years to come.Tonight I say to the Russian oligarchs and corrupt leaders who have bilked billions of dollars off this violent regime no more.The U.S. Department of Justice is assembling a dedicated task force to go after the crimes of Russian oligarchs.We are joining with our European allies to find and seize your yachts your luxury apartments your private jets. We are coming for your ill-begotten gains.And tonight I am announcing that we will join our allies in closing off American air space to all Russian flights – further isolating Russia – and adding an additional squeeze –on their economy. The Ruble has lost 30% of its value.The Russian stock market has lost 40% of its value and trading remains suspended. Russia’s economy is reeling and Putin alone is to blame.Together with our allies we are providing support to the Ukrainians in their fight for freedom. Military assistance. Economic assistance. Humanitarian assistance.We are giving more than $1 Billion in direct assistance to Ukraine.And we will continue to aid the Ukrainian people as they defend their country and to help ease their suffering.Let me be clear, our forces are not engaged and will not engage in conflict with Russian forces in Ukraine.Our forces are not going to Europe to fight in Ukraine, but to defend our NATO Allies – in the event that Putin decides to keep moving west.For that purpose we’ve mobilized American ground forces, air squadrons, and ship deployments to protect NATO countries including Poland, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.As I have made crystal clear the United States and our Allies will defend every inch of territory of NATO countries with the full force of our collective power.And we remain clear-eyed. The Ukrainians are fighting back with pure courage. But the next few days weeks, months, will be hard on them.Putin has unleashed violence and chaos.  But while he may make gains on the battlefield – he will pay a continuing high price over the long run.And a proud Ukrainian people, who have known 30 years  of independence, have repeatedly shown that they will not tolerate anyone who tries to take their country backwards.To all Americans, I will be honest with you, as I’ve always promised. A Russian dictator, invading a foreign country, has costs around the world.And I’m taking robust action to make sure the pain of our sanctions  is targeted at Russia’s economy. And I will use every tool at our disposal to protect American businesses and consumers.Tonight, I can announce that the United States has worked with 30 other countries to release 60 Million barrels of oil from reserves around the world.America will lead that effort, releasing 30 Million barrels from our own Strategic Petroleum Reserve. And we stand ready to do more if necessary, unified with our allies.These steps will help blunt gas prices here at home. And I know the news about what’s happening can seem alarming.But I want you to know that we are going to be okay.When the history of this era is written Putin’s war on Ukraine will have left Russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger.While it shouldn’t have taken something so terrible for people around the world to see what’s at stake now everyone sees it clearly.We see the unity among leaders of nations and a more unified Europe a more unified West. And we see unity among the people who are gathering in cities in large crowds around the world even in Russia to demonstrate their support for Ukraine.In the battle between democracy and autocracy, democracies are rising to the moment, and the world is clearly choosing the side of peace and security.This is a real test. It’s going to take time. So let us continue to draw inspiration from the iron will of the Ukrainian people.To our fellow Ukrainian Americans who forge a deep bond that connects our two nations we stand with you.Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he will never gain the hearts and souls of the Ukrainian people.He will never extinguish their love of freedom. He will never weaken the resolve of the free world.We meet tonight in an America that has lived through two of the hardest years this nation has ever faced.The pandemic has been punishing.And so many families are living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to keep up with the rising cost of food, gas, housing, and so much more.I understand.I remember when my Dad had to leave our home in Scranton, Pennsylvania to find work. I grew up in a family where if the price of food went up, you felt it.That’s why one of the first things I did as President was fight to pass the American Rescue Plan.Because people were hurting. We needed to act, and we did.Few pieces of legislation have done more in a critical moment in our history to lift us out of crisis.It fueled our efforts to vaccinate the nation and combat COVID-19. It delivered immediate economic relief for tens of millions of Americans.Helped put food on their table, keep a roof over their heads, and cut the cost of health insurance.And as my Dad used to say, it gave people a little breathing room.And unlike the $2 Trillion tax cut passed in the previous administration that benefitted the top 1% of Americans, the American Rescue Plan helped working people—and left no one behind.And it worked. It created jobs. Lots of jobs.In fact—our economy created over 6.5 Million new jobs just last year, more jobs created in one yearthan ever before in the history of America.Our economy grew at a rate of 5.7% last year, the strongest growth in nearly 40 years, the first step in bringing fundamental change to an economy that hasn’t worked for the working people of this nation for too long.For the past 40 years we were told that if we gave tax breaks to those at the very top, the benefits would trickle down to everyone else.But that trickle-down theory led to weaker economic growth, lower wages, bigger deficits, and the widest gap between those at the top and everyone else in nearly a century.Vice President Harris and I ran for office with a new economic vision for America.Invest in America. Educate Americans. Grow the workforce. Build the economy from the bottom upand the middle out, not from the top down.Because we know that when the middle class grows, the poor have a ladder up and the wealthy do very well.America used to have the best roads, bridges, and airports on Earth.Now our infrastructure is ranked 13th in the world.We won’t be able to compete for the jobs of the 21st Century if we don’t fix that.That’s why it was so important to pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—the most sweeping investment to rebuild America in history.This was a bipartisan effort, and I want to thank the members of both parties who worked to make it happen.We’re done talking about infrastructure weeks.We’re going to have an infrastructure decade.It is going to transform America and put us on a path to win the economic competition of the 21st Century that we face with the rest of the world—particularly with China.As I’ve told Xi Jinping, it is never a good bet to bet against the American people.We’ll create good jobs for millions of Americans, modernizing roads, airports, ports, and waterways all across America.And we’ll do it all to withstand the devastating effects of the climate crisis and promote environmental justice.We’ll build a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations, begin to replace poisonous lead pipes—so every child—and every American—has clean water to drink at home and at school, provide affordable high-speed internet for every American—urban, suburban, rural, and tribal communities.4,000 projects have already been announced.And tonight, I’m announcing that this year we will start fixing over 65,000 miles of highway and 1,500 bridges in disrepair.When we use taxpayer dollars to rebuild America – we are going to Buy American: buy American products to support American jobs.The federal government spends about $600 Billion a year to keep the country safe and secure.There’s been a law on the books for almost a centuryto make sure taxpayers’ dollars support American jobs and businesses.Every Administration says they’ll do it, but we are actually doing it.We will buy American to make sure everything from the deck of an aircraft carrier to the steel on highway guardrails are made in America.But to compete for the best jobs of the future, we also need to level the playing field with China and other competitors.That’s why it is so important to pass the Bipartisan Innovation Act sitting in Congress that will make record investments in emerging technologies and American manufacturing.Let me give you one example of why it’s so important to pass it.If you travel 20 miles east of Columbus, Ohio, you’ll find 1,000 empty acres of land.It won’t look like much, but if you stop and look closely, you’ll see a “Field of dreams,” the ground on which America’s future will be built.This is where Intel, the American company that helped build Silicon Valley, is going to build its $20 billion semiconductor “mega site”.Up to eight state-of-the-art factories in one place. 10,000 new good-paying jobs.Some of the most sophisticated manufacturing in the world to make computer chips the size of a fingertip that power the world and our everyday lives.Smartphones. The Internet. Technology we have yet to invent.But that’s just the beginning.Intel’s CEO, Pat Gelsinger, who is here tonight, told me they are ready to increase their investment from$20 billion to $100 billion.That would be one of the biggest investments in manufacturing in American history.And all they’re waiting for is for you to pass this bill.So let’s not wait any longer. Send it to my desk. I’ll sign it.And we will really take off.And Intel is not alone.There’s something happening in America.Just look around and you’ll see an amazing story.The rebirth of the pride that comes from stamping products “Made In America.” The revitalization of American manufacturing.Companies are choosing to build new factories here, when just a few years ago, they would have built them overseas.That’s what is happening. Ford is investing $11 billion to build electric vehicles, creating 11,000 jobs across the country.GM is making the largest investment in its history—$7 billion to build electric vehicles, creating 4,000 jobs in Michigan.All told, we created 369,000 new manufacturing jobs in America just last year.Powered by people I’ve met like JoJo Burgess, from generations of union steelworkers from Pittsburgh, who’s here with us tonight.As Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown says, “It’s time to bury the label “Rust Belt.”It’s time.But with all the bright spots in our economy, record job growth and higher wages, too many families are struggling to keep up with the bills.Inflation is robbing them of the gains they might otherwise feel.I get it. That’s why my top priority is getting prices under control.Look, our economy roared back faster than most predicted, but the pandemic meant that businesses had a hard time hiring enough workers to keep up production in their factories.The pandemic also disrupted global supply chains.When factories close, it takes longer to make goods and get them from the warehouse to the store, and prices go up.Look at cars.Last year, there weren’t enough semiconductors to make all the cars that people wanted to buy.And guess what, prices of automobiles went up.So—we have a choice.One way to fight inflation is to drive down wages and make Americans poorer.I have a better plan to fight inflation.Lower your costs, not your wages.Make more cars and semiconductors in America.More infrastructure and innovation in America.More goods moving faster and cheaper in America.More jobs where you can earn a good living in America.And instead of relying on foreign supply chains, let’s make it in America.Economists call it “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 say my plan will ease long-term inflationary pressures. Top business leaders and most Americans support my plan. And here’s the plan:First – cut the cost of prescription drugs. Just look at insulin. One in ten Americans has diabetes. In Virginia, I met a 13-year-old boy named Joshua Davis.He and his Dad both have Type 1 diabetes, which means they need insulin every day. Insulin costs about $10 a vial to make.But drug companies charge families like Joshua and his Dad up to 30 times more. I spoke with Joshua’s mom.Imagine what it’s like to look at your child who needs insulin and have no idea how you’re going to pay for it.What it does to your dignity, your ability to look your child in the eye, to be the parent you expect to be.Joshua is here with us tonight. Yesterday was his birthday. Happy birthday, buddy.For Joshua, and for the 200,000 other young people with Type 1 diabetes, let’s cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month so everyone can afford it.Drug companies will still do very well. And while we’re at it let Medicare negotiate lower prices for prescription drugs, like the VA already does.Look, the American Rescue Plan is helping millions of families on Affordable Care Act plans save $2,400 a year on their health care premiums. Let’s close the coverage gap and make those savings permanent.Second – cut energy costs for families an average of $500 a year by combatting climate change.Let’s provide investments and tax credits to weatherize your homes and businesses to be energy efficient and you get a tax credit; double America’s clean energy production in solar, wind, and so much more;  lower the price of electric vehicles, saving you another $80 a month because you’ll never have to pay at the gas pump again.Third – cut the cost of child care. Many families pay up to $14,000 a year for child care per child.Middle-class and working families shouldn’t have to pay more than 7% of their income for care of young children.My plan will cut the cost in half for most families and help parents, including millions of women, who left the workforce during the pandemic because they couldn’t afford child care, to be able to get back to work.My plan doesn’t stop there. It also includes home and long-term care. More affordable housing. And Pre-K for every 3- and 4-year-old.All of these will lower costs.And under my plan, nobody earning less than $400,000 a year will pay an additional penny in new taxes. Nobody.The one thing all Americans agree on is that the tax system is not fair. We have to fix it.I’m not looking to punish anyone. But let’s make sure corporations and the wealthiest Americans start paying their fair share.Just last year, 55 Fortune 500 corporations earned $40 billion in profits and paid zero dollars in federal income tax.That’s simply not fair. That’s why I’ve proposed a 15% minimum tax rate for corporations.We got more than 130 countries to agree on a global minimum tax rate so companies can’t get out of paying their taxes at home by shipping jobs and factories overseas.That’s why I’ve proposed closing loopholes so the very wealthy don’t pay a lower tax rate than a teacher or a firefighter.So that’s my plan. It will grow the economy and lower costs for families.So what are we waiting for? Let’s get this done. And while you’re at it, confirm my nominees to the Federal Reserve, which plays a critical role in fighting inflation.My plan will not only lower costs to give families a fair shot, it will lower the deficit.The previous Administration not only ballooned the deficit with tax cuts for the very wealthy and corporations, it undermined the watchdogs whose job was to keep pandemic relief funds from being wasted.But in my administration, the watchdogs have been welcomed back.We’re going after the criminals who stole billions in relief money meant for small businesses and millions of Americans.And tonight, I’m announcing that the Justice Department will name a chief prosecutor for pandemic fraud.By the end of this year, the deficit will be down to less than half what it was before I took office.The only president ever to cut the deficit by more than one trillion dollars in a single year.Lowering your costs also means demanding more competition.I’m a capitalist, but capitalism without competition isn’t capitalism.It’s exploitation—and it drives up prices.When corporations don’t have to compete, their profits go up, your prices go up, and small businesses and family farmers and ranchers go under.We see it happening with ocean carriers moving goods in and out of America.During the pandemic, these foreign-owned companies raised prices by as much as 1,000% and made record profits.Tonight, I’m announcing a crackdown on these companies overcharging American businesses and consumers.And as Wall Street firms take over more nursing homes, quality in those homes has gone down and costs have gone up.That ends on my watch.Medicare is going to set higher standards for nursing homes and make sure your loved ones get the care they deserve and expect.We’ll also cut costs and keep the economy going strong by giving workers a fair shot, provide more training and apprenticeships, hire them based on their skills not degrees.Let’s pass the Paycheck Fairness Act and paid leave.Raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and extend the Child Tax Credit, so no one has to raise a family in poverty.Let’s increase Pell Grants and increase our historic support of HBCUs, and invest in what Jill—our First Lady who teaches full-time—calls America’s best-kept secret: community colleges.And let’s pass the PRO Act when a majority of workers want to form a union—they shouldn’t be stopped.When we invest in our workers, when we build the economy from the bottom up and the middle out together, we can do something we haven’t done in a long time: build a better America.For more than two years, COVID-19 has impacted every decision in our lives and the life of the nation.And I know you’re tired, frustrated, and exhausted.But I also know this.Because of the progress we’ve made, because of your resilience and the tools we have, tonight I can saywe are moving forward safely, back to more normal routines.We’ve reached a new moment in the fight against COVID-19, with severe cases down to a level not seen since last July.Just a few days ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—the CDC—issued new mask guidelines.Under these new guidelines, most Americans in most of the country can now be mask free.And based on the projections, more of the country will reach that point across the next couple of weeks.Thanks to the progress we have made this past year, COVID-19 need no longer control our lives.I know some are talking about “living with COVID-19”. Tonight – I say that we will never just accept living with COVID-19.We will continue to combat the virus as we do other diseases. And because this is a virus that mutates and spreads, we will stay on guard.Here are four common sense steps as we move forward safely.First, stay protected with vaccines and treatments. We know how incredibly effective vaccines are. If you’re vaccinated and boosted you have the highest degree of protection.We will never give up on vaccinating more Americans. Now, I know parents with kids under 5 are eager to see a vaccine authorized for their children.The scientists are working hard to get that done and we’ll be ready with plenty of vaccines when they do.We’re also ready with anti-viral treatments. If you get COVID-19, the Pfizer pill reduces your chances of ending up in the hospital by 90%.We’ve ordered more of these pills than anyone in the world. And Pfizer is working overtime to get us 1 Million pills this month and more than double that next month.And we’re launching the “Test to Treat” initiative so people can get tested at a pharmacy, and if they’re positive, receive antiviral pills on the spot at no cost.If you’re immunocompromised or have some other vulnerability, we have treatments and free high-quality masks.We’re leaving no one behind or ignoring anyone’s needs as we move forward.And on testing, we have made hundreds of millions of tests available for you to order for free.Even if you already ordered free tests tonight, I am announcing that you can order more from covidtests.gov starting next week.Second – we must prepare for new variants. Over the past year, we’ve gotten much better at detecting new variants.If necessary, we’ll be able to deploy new vaccines within 100 days instead of many more months or years.And, if Congress provides the funds we need, we’ll have new stockpiles of tests, masks, and pills ready if needed.I cannot promise a new variant won’t come. But I can promise you we’ll do everything within our power to be ready if it does.Third – we can end the shutdown of schools and businesses. We have the tools we need.It’s time for Americans to get back to work and fill our great downtowns again.  People working from home can feel safe to begin to return to the office.We’re doing that here in the federal government. The vast majority of federal workers will once again work in person.Our schools are open. Let’s keep it that way. Our kids need to be in school.And with 75% of adult Americans fully vaccinated and hospitalizations down by 77%, most Americans can remove their masks, return to work, stay in the classroom, and move forward safely.We achieved this because we provided free vaccines, treatments, tests, and masks.Of course, continuing this costs money.I will soon send Congress a request.The vast majority of Americans have used these tools and may want to again, so I expect Congress to pass it quickly.Fourth, we will continue vaccinating the world.We’ve sent 475 Million vaccine doses to 112 countries, more than any other nation.And we won’t stop.We have lost so much to COVID-19. Time with one another. And worst of all, so much loss of life.Let’s use this moment to reset. Let’s stop looking at COVID-19 as a partisan dividing line and see it for what it is: A God-awful disease.Let’s stop seeing each other as enemies, and start seeing each other for who we really are: Fellow Americans.We can’t change how divided we’ve been. But we can change how we move forward—on COVID-19 and other issues we must face together.I recently visited the New York City Police Department days after the funerals of Officer Wilbert Mora and his partner, Officer Jason Rivera.They were responding to a 9-1-1 call when a man shot and killed them with a stolen gun.Officer Mora was 27 years old.Officer Rivera was 22.Both Dominican Americans who’d grown up on the same streets they later chose to patrol as police officers.I spoke with their families and told them that we are forever in debt for their sacrifice, and we will carry on their mission to restore the trust and safety every community deserves.I’ve worked on these issues a long time.I know what works: Investing in crime preventionand community police officers who’ll walk the beat, who’ll know the neighborhood, and who can restore trust and safety.So let’s not abandon our streets. Or choose between safety and equal justice.Let’s come together to protect our communities, restore trust, and hold law enforcement accountable.That’s why the Justice Department required body cameras, banned chokeholds, and restricted no-knock warrants for its officers.That’s why the American Rescue Plan provided $350 Billion that cities, states, and counties can use to hire more police and invest in proven strategies like community violence interruption—trusted messengers breaking the cycle of violence and trauma and giving young people hope.We should all agree: The answer is not to Defund the police. The answer is to FUND the police with the resources and training they need to protect our communities.I ask Democrats and Republicans alike: Pass my budget and keep our neighborhoods safe.And I will keep doing everything in my power to crack down on gun trafficking and ghost guns you can buy online and make at home—they have no serial numbers and can’t be traced.And I ask Congress to pass proven measures to reduce gun violence. Pass universal background checks. Why should anyone on a terrorist list be able to purchase a weapon?Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.Repeal the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry in America that can’t be sued.These laws don’t infringe on the Second Amendment. They save lives.The most fundamental right in America is the right to vote – and to have it counted. And it’s under assault.In state after state, new laws have been passed, not only to suppress the vote, but to subvert entire elections.We cannot let this happen.Tonight. I call on the Senate to: Pass the Freedom to Vote Act. Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. And while you’re at it, pass the Disclose Act so Americans can know who is funding our elections.Tonight, I’d like to honor someone who has dedicated his life to serve this country: Justice Stephen Breyer—an Army veteran, Constitutional scholar, and retiring Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Justice Breyer, thank you for your service.One of the most serious constitutional responsibilities a President has is nominating someone to serve on the United States Supreme Court.And I did that 4 days ago, when I nominated Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. One of our nation’s top legal minds, who will continue Justice Breyer’s legacy of excellence.A former top litigator in private practice. A former federal public defender. And from a family of public school educators and police officers. A consensus builder. Since she’s been nominated, she’s received a broad range of support—from the Fraternal Order of Police to former judges appointed by Democrats and Republicans.And if we are to advance liberty and justice, we need to secure the Border and fix the immigration system.We can do both. At our border, we’ve installed new technology like cutting-edge scanners to better detect drug smuggling.We’ve set up joint patrols with Mexico and Guatemala to catch more human traffickers.We’re putting in place dedicated immigration judges so families fleeing persecution and violence can have their cases heard faster.We’re securing commitments and supporting partners in South and Central America to host more refugees and secure their own borders.We can do all this while keeping lit the torch of liberty that has led generations of immigrants to this land—my forefathers and so many of yours.Provide a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, those on temporary status, farm workers, and essential workers.Revise our laws so businesses have the workers they need and families don’t wait decades to reunite.It’s not only the right thing to do—it’s the economically smart thing to do.That’s why immigration reform is supported by everyone from labor unions to religious leaders to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.Let’s get it done once and for all.Advancing liberty and justice also requires protecting the rights of women.The constitutional right affirmed in Roe v. Wade—standing precedent for half a century—is under attack as never before.If we want to go forward—not backward—we must protect access to health care. Preserve a woman’s right to choose. And let’s continue to advance maternal health care in America.And for our LGBTQ+ Americans, let’s finally get the bipartisan Equality Act to my desk. The onslaught of state laws targeting transgender Americans and their families is wrong.As I said last year, especially to our younger transgender Americans, I will always have your back as your President, so you can be yourself and reach your God-given potential.While it often appears that we never agree, that isn’t true. I signed 80 bipartisan bills into law last year. From preventing government shutdowns to protecting Asian-Americans from still-too-common hate crimes to reforming military justice.And soon, we’ll strengthen the Violence Against Women Act that I first wrote three decades ago. It is important for us to show the nation that we can come together and do big things.So tonight I’m offering a Unity Agenda for the Nation. Four big things we can do together.First, beat the opioid epidemic.There is so much we can do. Increase funding for prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery.Get rid of outdated rules that stop doctors from prescribing treatments. And stop the flow of illicit drugs by working with state and local law enforcement to go after traffickers.If you’re suffering from addiction, know you are not alone. I believe in recovery, and I celebrate the 23 million Americans in recovery.Second, let’s take on mental health. Especially among our children, whose lives and education have been turned upside down.The American Rescue Plan gave schools money to hire teachers and help students make up for lost learning.I urge every parent to make sure your school does just that. And we can all play a part—sign up to be a tutor or a mentor.Children were also struggling before the pandemic. Bullying, violence, trauma, and the harms of social media.As Frances Haugen, who is here with us tonight, has shown, we must hold social media platforms accountable for the national experiment they’re conducting on our children for profit.It’s time to strengthen privacy protections, ban targeted advertising to children, demand tech companies stop collecting personal data on our children.And let’s get all Americans the mental health services they need. More people they can turn to for help, and full parity between physical and mental health care.Third, support our veterans.Veterans are the best of us.I’ve always believed that we have a sacred obligation to equip all those we send to war and care for them and their families when they come home.My administration is providing assistance with job training and housing, and now helping lower-income veterans get VA care debt-free.Our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan faced many dangers.One was stationed at bases and breathing in toxic smoke from “burn pits” that incinerated wastes of war—medical and hazard material, jet fuel, and more.When they came home, many of the world’s fittest and best trained warriors were never the same.Headaches. Numbness. Dizziness.A cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin.I know.One of those soldiers was my son Major Beau Biden.We don’t know for sure if a burn pit was the cause of his brain cancer, or the diseases of so many of our troops.But I’m committed to finding out everything we can.Committed to military families like Danielle Robinson from Ohio.The widow of Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson.He was born a soldier. Army National Guard. Combat medic in Kosovo and Iraq.Stationed near Baghdad, just yards from burn pits the size of football fields.Heath’s widow Danielle is here with us tonight. They loved going to Ohio State football games. He loved building Legos with their daughter.But cancer from prolonged exposure to burn pits ravaged Heath’s lungs and body.Danielle says Heath was a fighter to the very end.He didn’t know how to stop fighting, and neither did she.Through her pain she found purpose to demand we do better.Tonight, Danielle—we are.The VA is pioneering new ways of linking toxic exposures to diseases, already helping more veterans get benefits.And tonight, I’m announcing we’re expanding eligibility to veterans suffering from nine respiratory cancers.I’m also calling on Congress: pass a law to make sure veterans devastated by toxic exposures in Iraq and Afghanistan finally get the benefits and comprehensive health care they deserve.And fourth, let’s end cancer as we know it.This is personal to me and Jill, to Kamala, and to so many of you.Cancer is the #2 cause of death in America–second only to heart disease.Last month, I announced our plan to superchargethe Cancer Moonshot that President Obama asked me to lead six years ago.Our goal is to cut the cancer death rate by at least 50% over the next 25 years, turn more cancers from death sentences into treatable diseases.More support for patients and families.To get there, I call on Congress to fund ARPA-H, the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health.It’s based on DARPA—the Defense Department project that led to the Internet, GPS, and so much more.ARPA-H will have a singular purpose—to drive breakthroughs in cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and more.A unity agenda for the nation.We can do this.My fellow Americans—tonight , we have gathered in a sacred space—the citadel of our democracy.In this Capitol, generation after generation, Americans have debated great questions amid great strife, and have done great things.We have fought for freedom, expanded liberty, defeated totalitarianism and terror.And built the strongest, freest, and most prosperous nation the world has ever known.Now is the hour.Our moment of responsibility.Our test of resolve and conscience, of history itself.It is in this moment that our character is formed. Our purpose is found. Our future is forged.Well I know this nation.We will meet the test.To protect freedom and liberty, to expand fairness and opportunity.We will save democracy.As hard as these times have been, I am more optimistic about America today than I have been my whole life.Because I see the future that is within our grasp.Because I know there is simply nothing beyond our capacity.We are the only nation on Earth that has always turned every crisis we have faced into an opportunity.The only nation that can be defined by a single word: possibilities.So on this night, in our 245th year as a nation, I have come to report on the State of the Union.And my report is this: the State of the Union is strong—because you, the American people, are strong.We are stronger today than we were a year ago.And we will be stronger a year from now than we are today.Now is our moment to meet and overcome the challenges of our time.And we will, as one people.One America.The United States of America.May God bless you all. May God protect our troops.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":269,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9033335015,"gmtCreate":1646185877355,"gmtModify":1676534101559,"author":{"id":"4088594279252790","authorId":"4088594279252790","name":"RoosterCK","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/95d82027a8a87481178ec45908742b11","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088594279252790","authorIdStr":"4088594279252790"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Seems

Members of Congress and the Cabinet. Justices of the Supreme Court. My fellow Americans.</p><p>Last year COVID-19 kept us apart. This year we are finally together again.</p><p>Tonight, we meet as Democrats Republicans and Independents. But most importantly as Americans.</p><p>With a duty to one another to the American people to the Constitution.</p><p>And with an unwavering resolve that freedom will always triumph over tyranny.</p><p>Six days ago, Russia’s Vladimir Putin sought to shake the foundations of the free world thinking he could make it bend to his menacing ways. But he badly miscalculated.</p><p>He thought he could roll into Ukraine and the world would roll over. Instead he met a wall of strength he never imagined.</p><p>He met the Ukrainian people.</p><p>From President Zelenskyy to every Ukrainian, their fearlessness, their courage, their determination, inspires the world.</p><p>Groups of citizens blocking tanks with their bodies. Everyone from students to retirees teachers turned soldiers defending their homeland.</p><p>In this struggle as President Zelenskyy said in his speech to the European Parliament “Light will win over darkness.” The Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States is here tonight.</p><p>Let each of us here tonight in this Chamber send an unmistakable signal to Ukraine and to the world.</p><p>Please rise if you are able and show that, Yes, we the United States of America stand with the Ukrainian people.</p><p>Throughout our history we’ve learned this lesson when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression they cause more chaos.</p><p>They keep moving.</p><p>And the costs and the threats to America and the world keep rising.</p><p>That’s why the NATO Alliance was created to secure peace and stability in Europe after World War 2.</p><p>The United States is a member along with 29 other nations.</p><p>It matters. American diplomacy matters. American resolve matters.</p><p>Putin’s latest attack on Ukraine was premeditated and unprovoked.</p><p>He rejected repeated efforts at diplomacy.</p><p>He thought the West and NATO wouldn’t respond. And he thought he could divide us at home. Putin was wrong. We were ready.  Here is what we did.</p><p>We prepared extensively and carefully.</p><p>We spent months building a coalition of other freedom-loving nations from Europe and the Americas to Asia and Africa to confront Putin.</p><p>I spent countless hours unifying our European allies. We shared with the world in advance what we knew Putin was planning and precisely how he would try to falsely justify his aggression.</p><p>We countered Russia’s lies with truth.</p><p>And now that he has acted the free world is holding him accountable.</p><p>Along with twenty-seven members of the European Union including France, Germany, Italy, as well as countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and many others, even Switzerland.</p><p>We are inflicting pain on Russia and supporting the people of Ukraine. Putin is now isolated from the world more than ever.</p><p>Together with our allies –we are right now enforcing powerful economic sanctions.</p><p>We are cutting off Russia’s largest banks from the international financial system.</p><p>Preventing Russia’s central bank from defending the Russian Ruble making Putin’s $630 Billion “war fund” worthless.</p><p>We are choking off Russia’s access to technology that will sap its economic strength and weaken its military for years to come.</p><p>Tonight I say to the Russian oligarchs and corrupt leaders who have bilked billions of dollars off this violent regime no more.</p><p>The U.S. Department of Justice is assembling a dedicated task force to go after the crimes of Russian oligarchs.</p><p>We are joining with our European allies to find and seize your yachts your luxury apartments your private jets. We are coming for your ill-begotten gains.</p><p>And tonight I am announcing that we will join our allies in closing off American air space to all Russian flights – further isolating Russia – and adding an additional squeeze –on their economy. The Ruble has lost 30% of its value.</p><p>The Russian stock market has lost 40% of its value and trading remains suspended. Russia’s economy is reeling and Putin alone is to blame.</p><p>Together with our allies we are providing support to the Ukrainians in their fight for freedom. Military assistance. Economic assistance. Humanitarian assistance.</p><p>We are giving more than $1 Billion in direct assistance to Ukraine.</p><p>And we will continue to aid the Ukrainian people as they defend their country and to help ease their suffering.</p><p>Let me be clear, our forces are not engaged and will not engage in conflict with Russian forces in Ukraine.</p><p>Our forces are not going to Europe to fight in Ukraine, but to defend our NATO Allies – in the event that Putin decides to keep moving west.</p><p>For that purpose we’ve mobilized American ground forces, air squadrons, and ship deployments to protect NATO countries including Poland, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.</p><p>As I have made crystal clear the United States and our Allies will defend every inch of territory of NATO countries with the full force of our collective power.</p><p>And we remain clear-eyed. The Ukrainians are fighting back with pure courage. But the next few days weeks, months, will be hard on them.</p><p>Putin has unleashed violence and chaos.  But while he may make gains on the battlefield – he will pay a continuing high price over the long run.</p><p>And a proud Ukrainian people, who have known 30 years  of independence, have repeatedly shown that they will not tolerate anyone who tries to take their country backwards.</p><p>To all Americans, I will be honest with you, as I’ve always promised. A Russian dictator, invading a foreign country, has costs around the world.</p><p>And I’m taking robust action to make sure the pain of our sanctions  is targeted at Russia’s economy. And I will use every tool at our disposal to protect American businesses and consumers.</p><p>Tonight, I can announce that the United States has worked with 30 other countries to release 60 Million barrels of oil from reserves around the world.</p><p>America will lead that effort, releasing 30 Million barrels from our own Strategic Petroleum Reserve. And we stand ready to do more if necessary, unified with our allies.</p><p>These steps will help blunt gas prices here at home. And I know the news about what’s happening can seem alarming.</p><p>But I want you to know that we are going to be okay.</p><p>When the history of this era is written Putin’s war on Ukraine will have left Russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger.</p><p>While it shouldn’t have taken something so terrible for people around the world to see what’s at stake now everyone sees it clearly.</p><p>We see the unity among leaders of nations and a more unified Europe a more unified West. And we see unity among the people who are gathering in cities in large crowds around the world even in Russia to demonstrate their support for Ukraine.</p><p>In the battle between democracy and autocracy, democracies are rising to the moment, and the world is clearly choosing the side of peace and security.</p><p>This is a real test. It’s going to take time. So let us continue to draw inspiration from the iron will of the Ukrainian people.</p><p>To our fellow Ukrainian Americans who forge a deep bond that connects our two nations we stand with you.</p><p>Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he will never gain the hearts and souls of the Ukrainian people.</p><p>He will never extinguish their love of freedom. He will never weaken the resolve of the free world.</p><p>We meet tonight in an America that has lived through two of the hardest years this nation has ever faced.</p><p>The pandemic has been punishing.</p><p>And so many families are living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to keep up with the rising cost of food, gas, housing, and so much more.</p><p>I understand.</p><p>I remember when my Dad had to leave our home in Scranton, Pennsylvania to find work. I grew up in a family where if the price of food went up, you felt it.</p><p>That’s why one of the first things I did as President was fight to pass the American Rescue Plan.</p><p>Because people were hurting. We needed to act, and we did.</p><p>Few pieces of legislation have done more in a critical moment in our history to lift us out of crisis.</p><p>It fueled our efforts to vaccinate the nation and combat COVID-19. It delivered immediate economic relief for tens of millions of Americans.</p><p>Helped put food on their table, keep a roof over their heads, and cut the cost of health insurance.</p><p>And as my Dad used to say, it gave people a little breathing room.</p><p>And unlike the $2 Trillion tax cut passed in the previous administration that benefitted the top 1% of Americans, the American Rescue Plan helped working people—and left no one behind.</p><p>And it worked. It created jobs. Lots of jobs.</p><p>In fact—our economy created over 6.5 Million new jobs just last year, more jobs created in one year</p><p>than ever before in the history of America.</p><p>Our economy grew at a rate of 5.7% last year, the strongest growth in nearly 40 years, the first step in bringing fundamental change to an economy that hasn’t worked for the working people of this nation for too long.</p><p>For the past 40 years we were told that if we gave tax breaks to those at the very top, the benefits would trickle down to everyone else.</p><p>But that trickle-down theory led to weaker economic growth, lower wages, bigger deficits, and the widest gap between those at the top and everyone else in nearly a century.</p><p>Vice President Harris and I ran for office with a new economic vision for America.</p><p>Invest in America. Educate Americans. Grow the workforce. Build the economy from the bottom up</p><p>and the middle out, not from the top down.</p><p>Because we know that when the middle class grows, the poor have a ladder up and the wealthy do very well.</p><p>America used to have the best roads, bridges, and airports on Earth.</p><p>Now our infrastructure is ranked 13th in the world.</p><p>We won’t be able to compete for the jobs of the 21st Century if we don’t fix that.</p><p>That’s why it was so important to pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—the most sweeping investment to rebuild America in history.</p><p>This was a bipartisan effort, and I want to thank the members of both parties who worked to make it happen.</p><p>We’re done talking about infrastructure weeks.</p><p>We’re going to have an infrastructure decade.</p><p>It is going to transform America and put us on a path to win the economic competition of the 21st Century that we face with the rest of the world—particularly with China.</p><p>As I’ve told Xi Jinping, it is never a good bet to bet against the American people.</p><p>We’ll create good jobs for millions of Americans, modernizing roads, airports, ports, and waterways all across America.</p><p>And we’ll do it all to withstand the devastating effects of the climate crisis and promote environmental justice.</p><p>We’ll build a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations, begin to replace poisonous lead pipes—so every child—and every American—has clean water to drink at home and at school, provide affordable high-speed internet for every American—urban, suburban, rural, and tribal communities.</p><p>4,000 projects have already been announced.</p><p>And tonight, I’m announcing that this year we will start fixing over 65,000 miles of highway and 1,500 bridges in disrepair.</p><p>When we use taxpayer dollars to rebuild America – we are going to Buy American: buy American products to support American jobs.</p><p>The federal government spends about $600 Billion a year to keep the country safe and secure.</p><p>There’s been a law on the books for almost a century</p><p>to make sure taxpayers’ dollars support American jobs and businesses.</p><p>Every Administration says they’ll do it, but we are actually doing it.</p><p>We will buy American to make sure everything from the deck of an aircraft carrier to the steel on highway guardrails are made in America.</p><p>But to compete for the best jobs of the future, we also need to level the playing field with China and other competitors.</p><p>That’s why it is so important to pass the Bipartisan Innovation Act sitting in Congress that will make record investments in emerging technologies and American manufacturing.</p><p>Let me give you one example of why it’s so important to pass it.</p><p>If you travel 20 miles east of Columbus, Ohio, you’ll find 1,000 empty acres of land.</p><p>It won’t look like much, but if you stop and look closely, you’ll see a “Field of dreams,” the ground on which America’s future will be built.</p><p>This is where Intel, the American company that helped build Silicon Valley, is going to build its $20 billion semiconductor “mega site”.</p><p>Up to eight state-of-the-art factories in one place. 10,000 new good-paying jobs.</p><p>Some of the most sophisticated manufacturing in the world to make computer chips the size of a fingertip that power the world and our everyday lives.</p><p>Smartphones. The Internet. Technology we have yet to invent.</p><p>But that’s just the beginning.</p><p>Intel’s CEO, Pat Gelsinger, who is here tonight, told me they are ready to increase their investment from</p><p>$20 billion to $100 billion.</p><p>That would be one of the biggest investments in manufacturing in American history.</p><p>And all they’re waiting for is for you to pass this bill.</p><p>So let’s not wait any longer. Send it to my desk. I’ll sign it.</p><p>And we will really take off.</p><p>And Intel is not alone.</p><p>There’s something happening in America.</p><p>Just look around and you’ll see an amazing story.</p><p>The rebirth of the pride that comes from stamping products “Made In America.” The revitalization of American manufacturing.</p><p>Companies are choosing to build new factories here, when just a few years ago, they would have built them overseas.</p><p>That’s what is happening. Ford is investing $11 billion to build electric vehicles, creating 11,000 jobs across the country.</p><p>GM is making the largest investment in its history—$7 billion to build electric vehicles, creating 4,000 jobs in Michigan.</p><p>All told, we created 369,000 new manufacturing jobs in America just last year.</p><p>Powered by people I’ve met like JoJo Burgess, from generations of union steelworkers from Pittsburgh, who’s here with us tonight.</p><p>As Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown says, “It’s time to bury the label “Rust Belt.”</p><p>It’s time.</p><p>But with all the bright spots in our economy, record job growth and higher wages, too many families are struggling to keep up with the bills.</p><p>Inflation is robbing them of the gains they might otherwise feel.</p><p>I get it. That’s why my top priority is getting prices under control.</p><p>Look, our economy roared back faster than most predicted, but the pandemic meant that businesses had a hard time hiring enough workers to keep up production in their factories.</p><p>The pandemic also disrupted global supply chains.</p><p>When factories close, it takes longer to make goods and get them from the warehouse to the store, and prices go up.</p><p>Look at cars.</p><p>Last year, there weren’t enough semiconductors to make all the cars that people wanted to buy.</p><p>And guess what, prices of automobiles went up.</p><p>So—we have a choice.</p><p>One way to fight inflation is to drive down wages and make Americans poorer.</p><p>I have a better plan to fight inflation.</p><p>Lower your costs, not your wages.</p><p>Make more cars and semiconductors in America.</p><p>More infrastructure and innovation in America.</p><p>More goods moving faster and cheaper in America.</p><p>More jobs where you can earn a good living in America.</p><p>And instead of relying on foreign supply chains, let’s make it in America.</p><p>Economists call it “increasing the productive capacity of our economy.”</p><p>I call it building a better America.</p><p>My plan to fight inflation will lower your costs and lower the deficit.</p><p>17 Nobel laureates in economics say my plan will ease long-term inflationary pressures. Top business leaders and most Americans support my plan. And here’s the plan:</p><p>First – cut the cost of prescription drugs. Just look at insulin. One in ten Americans has diabetes. In Virginia, I met a 13-year-old boy named Joshua Davis.</p><p>He and his Dad both have Type 1 diabetes, which means they need insulin every day. Insulin costs about $10 a vial to make.</p><p>But drug companies charge families like Joshua and his Dad up to 30 times more. I spoke with Joshua’s mom.</p><p>Imagine what it’s like to look at your child who needs insulin and have no idea how you’re going to pay for it.</p><p>What it does to your dignity, your ability to look your child in the eye, to be the parent you expect to be.</p><p>Joshua is here with us tonight. Yesterday was his birthday. Happy birthday, buddy.</p><p>For Joshua, and for the 200,000 other young people with Type 1 diabetes, let’s cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month so everyone can afford it.</p><p>Drug companies will still do very well. And while we’re at it let Medicare negotiate lower prices for prescription drugs, like the VA already does.</p><p>Look, the American Rescue Plan is helping millions of families on Affordable Care Act plans save $2,400 a year on their health care premiums. Let’s close the coverage gap and make those savings permanent.</p><p>Second – cut energy costs for families an average of $500 a year by combatting climate change.</p><p>Let’s provide investments and tax credits to weatherize your homes and businesses to be energy efficient and you get a tax credit; double America’s clean energy production in solar, wind, and so much more;  lower the price of electric vehicles, saving you another $80 a month because you’ll never have to pay at the gas pump again.</p><p>Third – cut the cost of child care. Many families pay up to $14,000 a year for child care per child.</p><p>Middle-class and working families shouldn’t have to pay more than 7% of their income for care of young children.</p><p>My plan will cut the cost in half for most families and help parents, including millions of women, who left the workforce during the pandemic because they couldn’t afford child care, to be able to get back to work.</p><p>My plan doesn’t stop there. It also includes home and long-term care. More affordable housing. And Pre-K for every 3- and 4-year-old.</p><p>All of these will lower costs.</p><p>And under my plan, nobody earning less than $400,000 a year will pay an additional penny in new taxes. Nobody.</p><p>The one thing all Americans agree on is that the tax system is not fair. We have to fix it.</p><p>I’m not looking to punish anyone. But let’s make sure corporations and the wealthiest Americans start paying their fair share.</p><p>Just last year, 55 Fortune 500 corporations earned $40 billion in profits and paid zero dollars in federal income tax.</p><p>That’s simply not fair. That’s why I’ve proposed a 15% minimum tax rate for corporations.</p><p>We got more than 130 countries to agree on a global minimum tax rate so companies can’t get out of paying their taxes at home by shipping jobs and factories overseas.</p><p>That’s why I’ve proposed closing loopholes so the very wealthy don’t pay a lower tax rate than a teacher or a firefighter.</p><p>So that’s my plan. It will grow the economy and lower costs for families.</p><p>So what are we waiting for? Let’s get this done. And while you’re at it, confirm my nominees to the Federal Reserve, which plays a critical role in fighting inflation.</p><p>My plan will not only lower costs to give families a fair shot, it will lower the deficit.</p><p>The previous Administration not only ballooned the deficit with tax cuts for the very wealthy and corporations, it undermined the watchdogs whose job was to keep pandemic relief funds from being wasted.</p><p>But in my administration, the watchdogs have been welcomed back.</p><p>We’re going after the criminals who stole billions in relief money meant for small businesses and millions of Americans.</p><p>And tonight, I’m announcing that the Justice Department will name a chief prosecutor for pandemic fraud.</p><p>By the end of this year, the deficit will be down to less than half what it was before I took office.</p><p>The only president ever to cut the deficit by more than one trillion dollars in a single year.</p><p>Lowering your costs also means demanding more competition.</p><p>I’m a capitalist, but capitalism without competition isn’t capitalism.</p><p>It’s exploitation—and it drives up prices.</p><p>When corporations don’t have to compete, their profits go up, your prices go up, and small businesses and family farmers and ranchers go under.</p><p>We see it happening with ocean carriers moving goods in and out of America.</p><p>During the pandemic, these foreign-owned companies raised prices by as much as 1,000% and made record profits.</p><p>Tonight, I’m announcing a crackdown on these companies overcharging American businesses and consumers.</p><p>And as Wall Street firms take over more nursing homes, quality in those homes has gone down and costs have gone up.</p><p>That ends on my watch.</p><p>Medicare is going to set higher standards for nursing homes and make sure your loved ones get the care they deserve and expect.</p><p>We’ll also cut costs and keep the economy going strong by giving workers a fair shot, provide more training and apprenticeships, hire them based on their skills not degrees.</p><p>Let’s pass the Paycheck Fairness Act and paid leave.</p><p>Raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and extend the Child Tax Credit, so no one has to raise a family in poverty.</p><p>Let’s increase Pell Grants and increase our historic support of HBCUs, and invest in what Jill—our First Lady who teaches full-time—calls America’s best-kept secret: community colleges.</p><p>And let’s pass the PRO Act when a majority of workers want to form a union—they shouldn’t be stopped.</p><p>When we invest in our workers, when we build the economy from the bottom up and the middle out together, we can do something we haven’t done in a long time: build a better America.</p><p>For more than two years, COVID-19 has impacted every decision in our lives and the life of the nation.</p><p>And I know you’re tired, frustrated, and exhausted.</p><p>But I also know this.</p><p>Because of the progress we’ve made, because of your resilience and the tools we have, tonight I can say</p><p>we are moving forward safely, back to more normal routines.</p><p>We’ve reached a new moment in the fight against COVID-19, with severe cases down to a level not seen since last July.</p><p>Just a few days ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—the CDC—issued new mask guidelines.</p><p>Under these new guidelines, most Americans in most of the country can now be mask free.</p><p>And based on the projections, more of the country will reach that point across the next couple of weeks.</p><p>Thanks to the progress we have made this past year, COVID-19 need no longer control our lives.</p><p>I know some are talking about “living with COVID-19”. Tonight – I say that we will never just accept living with COVID-19.</p><p>We will continue to combat the virus as we do other diseases. And because this is a virus that mutates and spreads, we will stay on guard.</p><p>Here are four common sense steps as we move forward safely.</p><p>First, stay protected with vaccines and treatments. We know how incredibly effective vaccines are. If you’re vaccinated and boosted you have the highest degree of protection.</p><p>We will never give up on vaccinating more Americans. Now, I know parents with kids under 5 are eager to see a vaccine authorized for their children.</p><p>The scientists are working hard to get that done and we’ll be ready with plenty of vaccines when they do.</p><p>We’re also ready with anti-viral treatments. If you get COVID-19, the Pfizer pill reduces your chances of ending up in the hospital by 90%.</p><p>We’ve ordered more of these pills than anyone in the world. And Pfizer is working overtime to get us 1 Million pills this month and more than double that next month.</p><p>And we’re launching the “Test to Treat” initiative so people can get tested at a pharmacy, and if they’re positive, receive antiviral pills on the spot at no cost.</p><p>If you’re immunocompromised or have some other vulnerability, we have treatments and free high-quality masks.</p><p>We’re leaving no one behind or ignoring anyone’s needs as we move forward.</p><p>And on testing, we have made hundreds of millions of tests available for you to order for free.</p><p>Even if you already ordered free tests tonight, I am announcing that you can order more from <a href=\"http://covidtests.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">covidtests.gov</a> starting next week.</p><p>Second – we must prepare for new variants. Over the past year, we’ve gotten much better at detecting new variants.</p><p>If necessary, we’ll be able to deploy new vaccines within 100 days instead of many more months or years.</p><p>And, if Congress provides the funds we need, we’ll have new stockpiles of tests, masks, and pills ready if needed.</p><p>I cannot promise a new variant won’t come. But I can promise you we’ll do everything within our power to be ready if it does.</p><p>Third – we can end the shutdown of schools and businesses. We have the tools we need.</p><p>It’s time for Americans to get back to work and fill our great downtowns again.  People working from home can feel safe to begin to return to the office.</p><p>We’re doing that here in the federal government. The vast majority of federal workers will once again work in person.</p><p>Our schools are open. Let’s keep it that way. Our kids need to be in school.</p><p>And with 75% of adult Americans fully vaccinated and hospitalizations down by 77%, most Americans can remove their masks, return to work, stay in the classroom, and move forward safely.</p><p>We achieved this because we provided free vaccines, treatments, tests, and masks.</p><p>Of course, continuing this costs money.</p><p>I will soon send Congress a request.</p><p>The vast majority of Americans have used these tools and may want to again, so I expect Congress to pass it quickly.</p><p>Fourth, we will continue vaccinating the world.</p><p>We’ve sent 475 Million vaccine doses to 112 countries, more than any other nation.</p><p>And we won’t stop.</p><p>We have lost so much to COVID-19. Time with one another. And worst of all, so much loss of life.</p><p>Let’s use this moment to reset. Let’s stop looking at COVID-19 as a partisan dividing line and see it for what it is: A God-awful disease.</p><p>Let’s stop seeing each other as enemies, and start seeing each other for who we really are: Fellow Americans.</p><p>We can’t change how divided we’ve been. But we can change how we move forward—on COVID-19 and other issues we must face together.</p><p>I recently visited the New York City Police Department days after the funerals of Officer Wilbert Mora and his partner, Officer Jason Rivera.</p><p>They were responding to a 9-1-1 call when a man shot and killed them with a stolen gun.</p><p>Officer Mora was 27 years old.</p><p>Officer Rivera was 22.</p><p>Both Dominican Americans who’d grown up on the same streets they later chose to patrol as police officers.</p><p>I spoke with their families and told them that we are forever in debt for their sacrifice, and we will carry on their mission to restore the trust and safety every community deserves.</p><p>I’ve worked on these issues a long time.</p><p>I know what works: Investing in crime preventionand community police officers who’ll walk the beat, who’ll know the neighborhood, and who can restore trust and safety.</p><p>So let’s not abandon our streets. Or choose between safety and equal justice.</p><p>Let’s come together to protect our communities, restore trust, and hold law enforcement accountable.</p><p>That’s why the Justice Department required body cameras, banned chokeholds, and restricted no-knock warrants for its officers.</p><p>That’s why the American Rescue Plan provided $350 Billion that cities, states, and counties can use to hire more police and invest in proven strategies like community violence interruption—trusted messengers breaking the cycle of violence and trauma and giving young people hope.</p><p>We should all agree: The answer is not to Defund the police. The answer is to FUND the police with the resources and training they need to protect our communities.</p><p>I ask Democrats and Republicans alike: Pass my budget and keep our neighborhoods safe.</p><p>And I will keep doing everything in my power to crack down on gun trafficking and ghost guns you can buy online and make at home—they have no serial numbers and can’t be traced.</p><p>And I ask Congress to pass proven measures to reduce gun violence. Pass universal background checks. Why should anyone on a terrorist list be able to purchase a weapon?</p><p>Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.</p><p>Repeal the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry in America that can’t be sued.</p><p>These laws don’t infringe on the Second Amendment. They save lives.</p><p>The most fundamental right in America is the right to vote – and to have it counted. And it’s under assault.</p><p>In state after state, new laws have been passed, not only to suppress the vote, but to subvert entire elections.</p><p>We cannot let this happen.</p><p>Tonight. I call on the Senate to: Pass the Freedom to Vote Act. Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. And while you’re at it, pass the Disclose Act so Americans can know who is funding our elections.</p><p>Tonight, I’d like to honor someone who has dedicated his life to serve this country: Justice Stephen Breyer—an Army veteran, Constitutional scholar, and retiring Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Justice Breyer, thank you for your service.</p><p>One of the most serious constitutional responsibilities a President has is nominating someone to serve on the United States Supreme Court.</p><p>And I did that 4 days ago, when I nominated Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. One of our nation’s top legal minds, who will continue Justice Breyer’s legacy of excellence.</p><p>A former top litigator in private practice. A former federal public defender. And from a family of public school educators and police officers. A consensus builder. Since she’s been nominated, she’s received a broad range of support—from the Fraternal Order of Police to former judges appointed by Democrats and Republicans.</p><p>And if we are to advance liberty and justice, we need to secure the Border and fix the immigration system.</p><p>We can do both. At our border, we’ve installed new technology like cutting-edge scanners to better detect drug smuggling.</p><p>We’ve set up joint patrols with Mexico and Guatemala to catch more human traffickers.</p><p>We’re putting in place dedicated immigration judges so families fleeing persecution and violence can have their cases heard faster.</p><p>We’re securing commitments and supporting partners in South and Central America to host more refugees and secure their own borders.</p><p>We can do all this while keeping lit the torch of liberty that has led generations of immigrants to this land—my forefathers and so many of yours.</p><p>Provide a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, those on temporary status, farm workers, and essential workers.</p><p>Revise our laws so businesses have the workers they need and families don’t wait decades to reunite.</p><p>It’s not only the right thing to do—it’s the economically smart thing to do.</p><p>That’s why immigration reform is supported by everyone from labor unions to religious leaders to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.</p><p>Let’s get it done once and for all.</p><p>Advancing liberty and justice also requires protecting the rights of women.</p><p>The constitutional right affirmed in Roe v. Wade—standing precedent for half a century—is under attack as never before.</p><p>If we want to go forward—not backward—we must protect access to health care. Preserve a woman’s right to choose. And let’s continue to advance maternal health care in America.</p><p>And for our LGBTQ+ Americans, let’s finally get the bipartisan Equality Act to my desk. The onslaught of state laws targeting transgender Americans and their families is wrong.</p><p>As I said last year, especially to our younger transgender Americans, I will always have your back as your President, so you can be yourself and reach your God-given potential.</p><p>While it often appears that we never agree, that isn’t true. I signed 80 bipartisan bills into law last year. From preventing government shutdowns to protecting Asian-Americans from still-too-common hate crimes to reforming military justice.</p><p>And soon, we’ll strengthen the Violence Against Women Act that I first wrote three decades ago. It is important for us to show the nation that we can come together and do big things.</p><p>So tonight I’m offering a Unity Agenda for the Nation. Four big things we can do together.</p><p>First, beat the opioid epidemic.</p><p>There is so much we can do. Increase funding for prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery.</p><p>Get rid of outdated rules that stop doctors from prescribing treatments. And stop the flow of illicit drugs by working with state and local law enforcement to go after traffickers.</p><p>If you’re suffering from addiction, know you are not alone. I believe in recovery, and I celebrate the 23 million Americans in recovery.</p><p>Second, let’s take on mental health. Especially among our children, whose lives and education have been turned upside down.</p><p>The American Rescue Plan gave schools money to hire teachers and help students make up for lost learning.</p><p>I urge every parent to make sure your school does just that. And we can all play a part—sign up to be a tutor or a mentor.</p><p>Children were also struggling before the pandemic. Bullying, violence, trauma, and the harms of social media.</p><p>As Frances Haugen, who is here with us tonight, has shown, we must hold social media platforms accountable for the national experiment they’re conducting on our children for profit.</p><p>It’s time to strengthen privacy protections, ban targeted advertising to children, demand tech companies stop collecting personal data on our children.</p><p>And let’s get all Americans the mental health services they need. More people they can turn to for help, and full parity between physical and mental health care.</p><p>Third, support our veterans.</p><p>Veterans are the best of us.</p><p>I’ve always believed that we have a sacred obligation to equip all those we send to war and care for them and their families when they come home.</p><p>My administration is providing assistance with job training and housing, and now helping lower-income veterans get VA care debt-free.</p><p>Our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan faced many dangers.</p><p>One was stationed at bases and breathing in toxic smoke from “burn pits” that incinerated wastes of war—medical and hazard material, jet fuel, and more.</p><p>When they came home, many of the world’s fittest and best trained warriors were never the same.</p><p>Headaches. Numbness. Dizziness.</p><p>A cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin.</p><p>I know.</p><p>One of those soldiers was my son Major Beau Biden.</p><p>We don’t know for sure if a burn pit was the cause of his brain cancer, or the diseases of so many of our troops.</p><p>But I’m committed to finding out everything we can.</p><p>Committed to military families like Danielle Robinson from Ohio.</p><p>The widow of Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson.</p><p>He was born a soldier. Army National Guard. Combat medic in Kosovo and Iraq.</p><p>Stationed near Baghdad, just yards from burn pits the size of football fields.</p><p>Heath’s widow Danielle is here with us tonight. They loved going to Ohio State football games. He loved building Legos with their daughter.</p><p>But cancer from prolonged exposure to burn pits ravaged Heath’s lungs and body.</p><p>Danielle says Heath was a fighter to the very end.</p><p>He didn’t know how to stop fighting, and neither did she.</p><p>Through her pain she found purpose to demand we do better.</p><p>Tonight, Danielle—we are.</p><p>The VA is pioneering new ways of linking toxic exposures to diseases, already helping more veterans get benefits.</p><p>And tonight, I’m announcing we’re expanding eligibility to veterans suffering from nine respiratory cancers.</p><p>I’m also calling on Congress: pass a law to make sure veterans devastated by toxic exposures in Iraq and Afghanistan finally get the benefits and comprehensive health care they deserve.</p><p>And fourth, let’s end cancer as we know it.</p><p>This is personal to me and Jill, to Kamala, and to so many of you.</p><p>Cancer is the #2 cause of death in America–second only to heart disease.</p><p>Last month, I announced our plan to supercharge</p><p>the Cancer Moonshot that President Obama asked me to lead six years ago.</p><p>Our goal is to cut the cancer death rate by at least 50% over the next 25 years, turn more cancers from death sentences into treatable diseases.</p><p>More support for patients and families.</p><p>To get there, I call on Congress to fund ARPA-H, the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health.</p><p>It’s based on DARPA—the Defense Department project that led to the Internet, GPS, and so much more.</p><p>ARPA-H will have a singular purpose—to drive breakthroughs in cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and more.</p><p>A unity agenda for the nation.</p><p>We can do this.</p><p>My fellow Americans—tonight , we have gathered in a sacred space—the citadel of our democracy.</p><p>In this Capitol, generation after generation, Americans have debated great questions amid great strife, and have done great things.</p><p>We have fought for freedom, expanded liberty, defeated totalitarianism and terror.</p><p>And built the strongest, freest, and most prosperous nation the world has ever known.</p><p>Now is the hour.</p><p>Our moment of responsibility.</p><p>Our test of resolve and conscience, of history itself.</p><p>It is in this moment that our character is formed. Our purpose is found. Our future is forged.</p><p>Well I know this nation.</p><p>We will meet the test.</p><p>To protect freedom and liberty, to expand fairness and opportunity.</p><p>We will save democracy.</p><p>As hard as these times have been, I am more optimistic about America today than I have been my whole life.</p><p>Because I see the future that is within our grasp.</p><p>Because I know there is simply nothing beyond our capacity.</p><p>We are the only nation on Earth that has always turned every crisis we have faced into an opportunity.</p><p>The only nation that can be defined by a single word: possibilities.</p><p>So on this night, in our 245th year as a nation, I have come to report on the State of the Union.</p><p>And my report is this: the State of the Union is strong—because you, the American people, are strong.</p><p>We are stronger today than we were a year ago.</p><p>And we will be stronger a year from now than we are today.</p><p>Now is our moment to meet and overcome the challenges of our time.</p><p>And we will, as one people.</p><p>One America.</p><p>The United States of America.</p><p>May God bless you all. May God protect our troops.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta

Russia-Ukraine conflict, COVID in focus in president’s first State of the Union addressPresident Joe Biden delivers the State of the Union address during a joint session of Congress in the U.S. Capitol’s House Chamber on March 01, 2022 in Washington.Here is the full text, as prepared for delivery, of President Joe Biden’s first State of the Union address, as released Tuesday by the White House.Madam Speaker, Madam Vice President, our First Lady and Second Gentleman. Members of Congress and the Cabinet. Justices of the Supreme Court. My fellow Americans.Last year COVID-19 kept us apart. This year we are finally together again.Tonight, we meet as Democrats Republicans and Independents. But most importantly as Americans.With a duty to one another to the American people to the Constitution.And with an unwavering resolve that freedom will always triumph over tyranny.Six days ago, Russia’s Vladimir Putin sought to shake the foundations of the free world thinking he could make it bend to his menacing ways. But he badly miscalculated.He thought he could roll into Ukraine and the world would roll over. Instead he met a wall of strength he never imagined.He met the Ukrainian people.From President Zelenskyy to every Ukrainian, their fearlessness, their courage, their determination, inspires the world.Groups of citizens blocking tanks with their bodies. Everyone from students to retirees teachers turned soldiers defending their homeland.In this struggle as President Zelenskyy said in his speech to the European Parliament “Light will win over darkness.” The Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States is here tonight.Let each of us here tonight in this Chamber send an unmistakable signal to Ukraine and to the world.Please rise if you are able and show that, Yes, we the United States of America stand with the Ukrainian people.Throughout our history we’ve learned this lesson when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression they cause more chaos.They keep moving.And the costs and the threats to America and the world keep rising.That’s why the NATO Alliance was created to secure peace and stability in Europe after World War 2.The United States is a member along with 29 other nations.It matters. American diplomacy matters. American resolve matters.Putin’s latest attack on Ukraine was premeditated and unprovoked.He rejected repeated efforts at diplomacy.He thought the West and NATO wouldn’t respond. And he thought he could divide us at home. Putin was wrong. We were ready.  Here is what we did.We prepared extensively and carefully.We spent months building a coalition of other freedom-loving nations from Europe and the Americas to Asia and Africa to confront Putin.I spent countless hours unifying our European allies. We shared with the world in advance what we knew Putin was planning and precisely how he would try to falsely justify his aggression.We countered Russia’s lies with truth.And now that he has acted the free world is holding him accountable.Along with twenty-seven members of the European Union including France, Germany, Italy, as well as countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and many others, even Switzerland.We are inflicting pain on Russia and supporting the people of Ukraine. Putin is now isolated from the world more than ever.Together with our allies –we are right now enforcing powerful economic sanctions.We are cutting off Russia’s largest banks from the international financial system.Preventing Russia’s central bank from defending the Russian Ruble making Putin’s $630 Billion “war fund” worthless.We are choking off Russia’s access to technology that will sap its economic strength and weaken its military for years to come.Tonight I say to the Russian oligarchs and corrupt leaders who have bilked billions of dollars off this violent regime no more.The U.S. Department of Justice is assembling a dedicated task force to go after the crimes of Russian oligarchs.We are joining with our European allies to find and seize your yachts your luxury apartments your private jets. We are coming for your ill-begotten gains.And tonight I am announcing that we will join our allies in closing off American air space to all Russian flights – further isolating Russia – and adding an additional squeeze –on their economy. The Ruble has lost 30% of its value.The Russian stock market has lost 40% of its value and trading remains suspended. Russia’s economy is reeling and Putin alone is to blame.Together with our allies we are providing support to the Ukrainians in their fight for freedom. Military assistance. Economic assistance. Humanitarian assistance.We are giving more than $1 Billion in direct assistance to Ukraine.And we will continue to aid the Ukrainian people as they defend their country and to help ease their suffering.Let me be clear, our forces are not engaged and will not engage in conflict with Russian forces in Ukraine.Our forces are not going to Europe to fight in Ukraine, but to defend our NATO Allies – in the event that Putin decides to keep moving west.For that purpose we’ve mobilized American ground forces, air squadrons, and ship deployments to protect NATO countries including Poland, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.As I have made crystal clear the United States and our Allies will defend every inch of territory of NATO countries with the full force of our collective power.And we remain clear-eyed. The Ukrainians are fighting back with pure courage. But the next few days weeks, months, will be hard on them.Putin has unleashed violence and chaos.  But while he may make gains on the battlefield – he will pay a continuing high price over the long run.And a proud Ukrainian people, who have known 30 years  of independence, have repeatedly shown that they will not tolerate anyone who tries to take their country backwards.To all Americans, I will be honest with you, as I’ve always promised. A Russian dictator, invading a foreign country, has costs around the world.And I’m taking robust action to make sure the pain of our sanctions  is targeted at Russia’s economy. And I will use every tool at our disposal to protect American businesses and consumers.Tonight, I can announce that the United States has worked with 30 other countries to release 60 Million barrels of oil from reserves around the world.America will lead that effort, releasing 30 Million barrels from our own Strategic Petroleum Reserve. And we stand ready to do more if necessary, unified with our allies.These steps will help blunt gas prices here at home. And I know the news about what’s happening can seem alarming.But I want you to know that we are going to be okay.When the history of this era is written Putin’s war on Ukraine will have left Russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger.While it shouldn’t have taken something so terrible for people around the world to see what’s at stake now everyone sees it clearly.We see the unity among leaders of nations and a more unified Europe a more unified West. And we see unity among the people who are gathering in cities in large crowds around the world even in Russia to demonstrate their support for Ukraine.In the battle between democracy and autocracy, democracies are rising to the moment, and the world is clearly choosing the side of peace and security.This is a real test. It’s going to take time. So let us continue to draw inspiration from the iron will of the Ukrainian people.To our fellow Ukrainian Americans who forge a deep bond that connects our two nations we stand with you.Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he will never gain the hearts and souls of the Ukrainian people.He will never extinguish their love of freedom. He will never weaken the resolve of the free world.We meet tonight in an America that has lived through two of the hardest years this nation has ever faced.The pandemic has been punishing.And so many families are living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to keep up with the rising cost of food, gas, housing, and so much more.I understand.I remember when my Dad had to leave our home in Scranton, Pennsylvania to find work. I grew up in a family where if the price of food went up, you felt it.That’s why one of the first things I did as President was fight to pass the American Rescue Plan.Because people were hurting. We needed to act, and we did.Few pieces of legislation have done more in a critical moment in our history to lift us out of crisis.It fueled our efforts to vaccinate the nation and combat COVID-19. It delivered immediate economic relief for tens of millions of Americans.Helped put food on their table, keep a roof over their heads, and cut the cost of health insurance.And as my Dad used to say, it gave people a little breathing room.And unlike the $2 Trillion tax cut passed in the previous administration that benefitted the top 1% of Americans, the American Rescue Plan helped working people—and left no one behind.And it worked. It created jobs. Lots of jobs.In fact—our economy created over 6.5 Million new jobs just last year, more jobs created in one yearthan ever before in the history of America.Our economy grew at a rate of 5.7% last year, the strongest growth in nearly 40 years, the first step in bringing fundamental change to an economy that hasn’t worked for the working people of this nation for too long.For the past 40 years we were told that if we gave tax breaks to those at the very top, the benefits would trickle down to everyone else.But that trickle-down theory led to weaker economic growth, lower wages, bigger deficits, and the widest gap between those at the top and everyone else in nearly a century.Vice President Harris and I ran for office with a new economic vision for America.Invest in America. Educate Americans. Grow the workforce. Build the economy from the bottom upand the middle out, not from the top down.Because we know that when the middle class grows, the poor have a ladder up and the wealthy do very well.America used to have the best roads, bridges, and airports on Earth.Now our infrastructure is ranked 13th in the world.We won’t be able to compete for the jobs of the 21st Century if we don’t fix that.That’s why it was so important to pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—the most sweeping investment to rebuild America in history.This was a bipartisan effort, and I want to thank the members of both parties who worked to make it happen.We’re done talking about infrastructure weeks.We’re going to have an infrastructure decade.It is going to transform America and put us on a path to win the economic competition of the 21st Century that we face with the rest of the world—particularly with China.As I’ve told Xi Jinping, it is never a good bet to bet against the American people.We’ll create good jobs for millions of Americans, modernizing roads, airports, ports, and waterways all across America.And we’ll do it all to withstand the devastating effects of the climate crisis and promote environmental justice.We’ll build a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations, begin to replace poisonous lead pipes—so every child—and every American—has clean water to drink at home and at school, provide affordable high-speed internet for every American—urban, suburban, rural, and tribal communities.4,000 projects have already been announced.And tonight, I’m announcing that this year we will start fixing over 65,000 miles of highway and 1,500 bridges in disrepair.When we use taxpayer dollars to rebuild America – we are going to Buy American: buy American products to support American jobs.The federal government spends about $600 Billion a year to keep the country safe and secure.There’s been a law on the books for almost a centuryto make sure taxpayers’ dollars support American jobs and businesses.Every Administration says they’ll do it, but we are actually doing it.We will buy American to make sure everything from the deck of an aircraft carrier to the steel on highway guardrails are made in America.But to compete for the best jobs of the future, we also need to level the playing field with China and other competitors.That’s why it is so important to pass the Bipartisan Innovation Act sitting in Congress that will make record investments in emerging technologies and American manufacturing.Let me give you one example of why it’s so important to pass it.If you travel 20 miles east of Columbus, Ohio, you’ll find 1,000 empty acres of land.It won’t look like much, but if you stop and look closely, you’ll see a “Field of dreams,” the ground on which America’s future will be built.This is where Intel, the American company that helped build Silicon Valley, is going to build its $20 billion semiconductor “mega site”.Up to eight state-of-the-art factories in one place. 10,000 new good-paying jobs.Some of the most sophisticated manufacturing in the world to make computer chips the size of a fingertip that power the world and our everyday lives.Smartphones. The Internet. Technology we have yet to invent.But that’s just the beginning.Intel’s CEO, Pat Gelsinger, who is here tonight, told me they are ready to increase their investment from$20 billion to $100 billion.That would be one of the biggest investments in manufacturing in American history.And all they’re waiting for is for you to pass this bill.So let’s not wait any longer. Send it to my desk. I’ll sign it.And we will really take off.And Intel is not alone.There’s something happening in America.Just look around and you’ll see an amazing story.The rebirth of the pride that comes from stamping products “Made In America.” The revitalization of American manufacturing.Companies are choosing to build new factories here, when just a few years ago, they would have built them overseas.That’s what is happening. Ford is investing $11 billion to build electric vehicles, creating 11,000 jobs across the country.GM is making the largest investment in its history—$7 billion to build electric vehicles, creating 4,000 jobs in Michigan.All told, we created 369,000 new manufacturing jobs in America just last year.Powered by people I’ve met like JoJo Burgess, from generations of union steelworkers from Pittsburgh, who’s here with us tonight.As Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown says, “It’s time to bury the label “Rust Belt.”It’s time.But with all the bright spots in our economy, record job growth and higher wages, too many families are struggling to keep up with the bills.Inflation is robbing them of the gains they might otherwise feel.I get it. That’s why my top priority is getting prices under control.Look, our economy roared back faster than most predicted, but the pandemic meant that businesses had a hard time hiring enough workers to keep up production in their factories.The pandemic also disrupted global supply chains.When factories close, it takes longer to make goods and get them from the warehouse to the store, and prices go up.Look at cars.Last year, there weren’t enough semiconductors to make all the cars that people wanted to buy.And guess what, prices of automobiles went up.So—we have a choice.One way to fight inflation is to drive down wages and make Americans poorer.I have a better plan to fight inflation.Lower your costs, not your wages.Make more cars and semiconductors in America.More infrastructure and innovation in America.More goods moving faster and cheaper in America.More jobs where you can earn a good living in America.And instead of relying on foreign supply chains, let’s make it in America.Economists call it “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 say my plan will ease long-term inflationary pressures. Top business leaders and most Americans support my plan. And here’s the plan:First – cut the cost of prescription drugs. Just look at insulin. One in ten Americans has diabetes. In Virginia, I met a 13-year-old boy named Joshua Davis.He and his Dad both have Type 1 diabetes, which means they need insulin every day. Insulin costs about $10 a vial to make.But drug companies charge families like Joshua and his Dad up to 30 times more. I spoke with Joshua’s mom.Imagine what it’s like to look at your child who needs insulin and have no idea how you’re going to pay for it.What it does to your dignity, your ability to look your child in the eye, to be the parent you expect to be.Joshua is here with us tonight. Yesterday was his birthday. Happy birthday, buddy.For Joshua, and for the 200,000 other young people with Type 1 diabetes, let’s cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month so everyone can afford it.Drug companies will still do very well. And while we’re at it let Medicare negotiate lower prices for prescription drugs, like the VA already does.Look, the American Rescue Plan is helping millions of families on Affordable Care Act plans save $2,400 a year on their health care premiums. Let’s close the coverage gap and make those savings permanent.Second – cut energy costs for families an average of $500 a year by combatting climate change.Let’s provide investments and tax credits to weatherize your homes and businesses to be energy efficient and you get a tax credit; double America’s clean energy production in solar, wind, and so much more;  lower the price of electric vehicles, saving you another $80 a month because you’ll never have to pay at the gas pump again.Third – cut the cost of child care. Many families pay up to $14,000 a year for child care per child.Middle-class and working families shouldn’t have to pay more than 7% of their income for care of young children.My plan will cut the cost in half for most families and help parents, including millions of women, who left the workforce during the pandemic because they couldn’t afford child care, to be able to get back to work.My plan doesn’t stop there. It also includes home and long-term care. More affordable housing. And Pre-K for every 3- and 4-year-old.All of these will lower costs.And under my plan, nobody earning less than $400,000 a year will pay an additional penny in new taxes. Nobody.The one thing all Americans agree on is that the tax system is not fair. We have to fix it.I’m not looking to punish anyone. But let’s make sure corporations and the wealthiest Americans start paying their fair share.Just last year, 55 Fortune 500 corporations earned $40 billion in profits and paid zero dollars in federal income tax.That’s simply not fair. That’s why I’ve proposed a 15% minimum tax rate for corporations.We got more than 130 countries to agree on a global minimum tax rate so companies can’t get out of paying their taxes at home by shipping jobs and factories overseas.That’s why I’ve proposed closing loopholes so the very wealthy don’t pay a lower tax rate than a teacher or a firefighter.So that’s my plan. It will grow the economy and lower costs for families.So what are we waiting for? Let’s get this done. And while you’re at it, confirm my nominees to the Federal Reserve, which plays a critical role in fighting inflation.My plan will not only lower costs to give families a fair shot, it will lower the deficit.The previous Administration not only ballooned the deficit with tax cuts for the very wealthy and corporations, it undermined the watchdogs whose job was to keep pandemic relief funds from being wasted.But in my administration, the watchdogs have been welcomed back.We’re going after the criminals who stole billions in relief money meant for small businesses and millions of Americans.And tonight, I’m announcing that the Justice Department will name a chief prosecutor for pandemic fraud.By the end of this year, the deficit will be down to less than half what it was before I took office.The only president ever to cut the deficit by more than one trillion dollars in a single year.Lowering your costs also means demanding more competition.I’m a capitalist, but capitalism without competition isn’t capitalism.It’s exploitation—and it drives up prices.When corporations don’t have to compete, their profits go up, your prices go up, and small businesses and family farmers and ranchers go under.We see it happening with ocean carriers moving goods in and out of America.During the pandemic, these foreign-owned companies raised prices by as much as 1,000% and made record profits.Tonight, I’m announcing a crackdown on these companies overcharging American businesses and consumers.And as Wall Street firms take over more nursing homes, quality in those homes has gone down and costs have gone up.That ends on my watch.Medicare is going to set higher standards for nursing homes and make sure your loved ones get the care they deserve and expect.We’ll also cut costs and keep the economy going strong by giving workers a fair shot, provide more training and apprenticeships, hire them based on their skills not degrees.Let’s pass the Paycheck Fairness Act and paid leave.Raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and extend the Child Tax Credit, so no one has to raise a family in poverty.Let’s increase Pell Grants and increase our historic support of HBCUs, and invest in what Jill—our First Lady who teaches full-time—calls America’s best-kept secret: community colleges.And let’s pass the PRO Act when a majority of workers want to form a union—they shouldn’t be stopped.When we invest in our workers, when we build the economy from the bottom up and the middle out together, we can do something we haven’t done in a long time: build a better America.For more than two years, COVID-19 has impacted every decision in our lives and the life of the nation.And I know you’re tired, frustrated, and exhausted.But I also know this.Because of the progress we’ve made, because of your resilience and the tools we have, tonight I can saywe are moving forward safely, back to more normal routines.We’ve reached a new moment in the fight against COVID-19, with severe cases down to a level not seen since last July.Just a few days ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—the CDC—issued new mask guidelines.Under these new guidelines, most Americans in most of the country can now be mask free.And based on the projections, more of the country will reach that point across the next couple of weeks.Thanks to the progress we have made this past year, COVID-19 need no longer control our lives.I know some are talking about “living with COVID-19”. Tonight – I say that we will never just accept living with COVID-19.We will continue to combat the virus as we do other diseases. And because this is a virus that mutates and spreads, we will stay on guard.Here are four common sense steps as we move forward safely.First, stay protected with vaccines and treatments. We know how incredibly effective vaccines are. If you’re vaccinated and boosted you have the highest degree of protection.We will never give up on vaccinating more Americans. Now, I know parents with kids under 5 are eager to see a vaccine authorized for their children.The scientists are working hard to get that done and we’ll be ready with plenty of vaccines when they do.We’re also ready with anti-viral treatments. If you get COVID-19, the Pfizer pill reduces your chances of ending up in the hospital by 90%.We’ve ordered more of these pills than anyone in the world. And Pfizer is working overtime to get us 1 Million pills this month and more than double that next month.And we’re launching the “Test to Treat” initiative so people can get tested at a pharmacy, and if they’re positive, receive antiviral pills on the spot at no cost.If you’re immunocompromised or have some other vulnerability, we have treatments and free high-quality masks.We’re leaving no one behind or ignoring anyone’s needs as we move forward.And on testing, we have made hundreds of millions of tests available for you to order for free.Even if you already ordered free tests tonight, I am announcing that you can order more from covidtests.gov starting next week.Second – we must prepare for new variants. Over the past year, we’ve gotten much better at detecting new variants.If necessary, we’ll be able to deploy new vaccines within 100 days instead of many more months or years.And, if Congress provides the funds we need, we’ll have new stockpiles of tests, masks, and pills ready if needed.I cannot promise a new variant won’t come. But I can promise you we’ll do everything within our power to be ready if it does.Third – we can end the shutdown of schools and businesses. We have the tools we need.It’s time for Americans to get back to work and fill our great downtowns again.  People working from home can feel safe to begin to return to the office.We’re doing that here in the federal government. The vast majority of federal workers will once again work in person.Our schools are open. Let’s keep it that way. Our kids need to be in school.And with 75% of adult Americans fully vaccinated and hospitalizations down by 77%, most Americans can remove their masks, return to work, stay in the classroom, and move forward safely.We achieved this because we provided free vaccines, treatments, tests, and masks.Of course, continuing this costs money.I will soon send Congress a request.The vast majority of Americans have used these tools and may want to again, so I expect Congress to pass it quickly.Fourth, we will continue vaccinating the world.We’ve sent 475 Million vaccine doses to 112 countries, more than any other nation.And we won’t stop.We have lost so much to COVID-19. Time with one another. And worst of all, so much loss of life.Let’s use this moment to reset. Let’s stop looking at COVID-19 as a partisan dividing line and see it for what it is: A God-awful disease.Let’s stop seeing each other as enemies, and start seeing each other for who we really are: Fellow Americans.We can’t change how divided we’ve been. But we can change how we move forward—on COVID-19 and other issues we must face together.I recently visited the New York City Police Department days after the funerals of Officer Wilbert Mora and his partner, Officer Jason Rivera.They were responding to a 9-1-1 call when a man shot and killed them with a stolen gun.Officer Mora was 27 years old.Officer Rivera was 22.Both Dominican Americans who’d grown up on the same streets they later chose to patrol as police officers.I spoke with their families and told them that we are forever in debt for their sacrifice, and we will carry on their mission to restore the trust and safety every community deserves.I’ve worked on these issues a long time.I know what works: Investing in crime preventionand community police officers who’ll walk the beat, who’ll know the neighborhood, and who can restore trust and safety.So let’s not abandon our streets. Or choose between safety and equal justice.Let’s come together to protect our communities, restore trust, and hold law enforcement accountable.That’s why the Justice Department required body cameras, banned chokeholds, and restricted no-knock warrants for its officers.That’s why the American Rescue Plan provided $350 Billion that cities, states, and counties can use to hire more police and invest in proven strategies like community violence interruption—trusted messengers breaking the cycle of violence and trauma and giving young people hope.We should all agree: The answer is not to Defund the police. The answer is to FUND the police with the resources and training they need to protect our communities.I ask Democrats and Republicans alike: Pass my budget and keep our neighborhoods safe.And I will keep doing everything in my power to crack down on gun trafficking and ghost guns you can buy online and make at home—they have no serial numbers and can’t be traced.And I ask Congress to pass proven measures to reduce gun violence. Pass universal background checks. Why should anyone on a terrorist list be able to purchase a weapon?Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.Repeal the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry in America that can’t be sued.These laws don’t infringe on the Second Amendment. They save lives.The most fundamental right in America is the right to vote – and to have it counted. And it’s under assault.In state after state, new laws have been passed, not only to suppress the vote, but to subvert entire elections.We cannot let this happen.Tonight. I call on the Senate to: Pass the Freedom to Vote Act. Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. And while you’re at it, pass the Disclose Act so Americans can know who is funding our elections.Tonight, I’d like to honor someone who has dedicated his life to serve this country: Justice Stephen Breyer—an Army veteran, Constitutional scholar, and retiring Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Justice Breyer, thank you for your service.One of the most serious constitutional responsibilities a President has is nominating someone to serve on the United States Supreme Court.And I did that 4 days ago, when I nominated Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. One of our nation’s top legal minds, who will continue Justice Breyer’s legacy of excellence.A former top litigator in private practice. A former federal public defender. And from a family of public school educators and police officers. A consensus builder. Since she’s been nominated, she’s received a broad range of support—from the Fraternal Order of Police to former judges appointed by Democrats and Republicans.And if we are to advance liberty and justice, we need to secure the Border and fix the immigration system.We can do both. At our border, we’ve installed new technology like cutting-edge scanners to better detect drug smuggling.We’ve set up joint patrols with Mexico and Guatemala to catch more human traffickers.We’re putting in place dedicated immigration judges so families fleeing persecution and violence can have their cases heard faster.We’re securing commitments and supporting partners in South and Central America to host more refugees and secure their own borders.We can do all this while keeping lit the torch of liberty that has led generations of immigrants to this land—my forefathers and so many of yours.Provide a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, those on temporary status, farm workers, and essential workers.Revise our laws so businesses have the workers they need and families don’t wait decades to reunite.It’s not only the right thing to do—it’s the economically smart thing to do.That’s why immigration reform is supported by everyone from labor unions to religious leaders to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.Let’s get it done once and for all.Advancing liberty and justice also requires protecting the rights of women.The constitutional right affirmed in Roe v. Wade—standing precedent for half a century—is under attack as never before.If we want to go forward—not backward—we must protect access to health care. Preserve a woman’s right to choose. And let’s continue to advance maternal health care in America.And for our LGBTQ+ Americans, let’s finally get the bipartisan Equality Act to my desk. The onslaught of state laws targeting transgender Americans and their families is wrong.As I said last year, especially to our younger transgender Americans, I will always have your back as your President, so you can be yourself and reach your God-given potential.While it often appears that we never agree, that isn’t true. I signed 80 bipartisan bills into law last year. From preventing government shutdowns to protecting Asian-Americans from still-too-common hate crimes to reforming military justice.And soon, we’ll strengthen the Violence Against Women Act that I first wrote three decades ago. It is important for us to show the nation that we can come together and do big things.So tonight I’m offering a Unity Agenda for the Nation. Four big things we can do together.First, beat the opioid epidemic.There is so much we can do. Increase funding for prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery.Get rid of outdated rules that stop doctors from prescribing treatments. And stop the flow of illicit drugs by working with state and local law enforcement to go after traffickers.If you’re suffering from addiction, know you are not alone. I believe in recovery, and I celebrate the 23 million Americans in recovery.Second, let’s take on mental health. Especially among our children, whose lives and education have been turned upside down.The American Rescue Plan gave schools money to hire teachers and help students make up for lost learning.I urge every parent to make sure your school does just that. And we can all play a part—sign up to be a tutor or a mentor.Children were also struggling before the pandemic. Bullying, violence, trauma, and the harms of social media.As Frances Haugen, who is here with us tonight, has shown, we must hold social media platforms accountable for the national experiment they’re conducting on our children for profit.It’s time to strengthen privacy protections, ban targeted advertising to children, demand tech companies stop collecting personal data on our children.And let’s get all Americans the mental health services they need. More people they can turn to for help, and full parity between physical and mental health care.Third, support our veterans.Veterans are the best of us.I’ve always believed that we have a sacred obligation to equip all those we send to war and care for them and their families when they come home.My administration is providing assistance with job training and housing, and now helping lower-income veterans get VA care debt-free.Our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan faced many dangers.One was stationed at bases and breathing in toxic smoke from “burn pits” that incinerated wastes of war—medical and hazard material, jet fuel, and more.When they came home, many of the world’s fittest and best trained warriors were never the same.Headaches. Numbness. Dizziness.A cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin.I know.One of those soldiers was my son Major Beau Biden.We don’t know for sure if a burn pit was the cause of his brain cancer, or the diseases of so many of our troops.But I’m committed to finding out everything we can.Committed to military families like Danielle Robinson from Ohio.The widow of Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson.He was born a soldier. Army National Guard. Combat medic in Kosovo and Iraq.Stationed near Baghdad, just yards from burn pits the size of football fields.Heath’s widow Danielle is here with us tonight. They loved going to Ohio State football games. He loved building Legos with their daughter.But cancer from prolonged exposure to burn pits ravaged Heath’s lungs and body.Danielle says Heath was a fighter to the very end.He didn’t know how to stop fighting, and neither did she.Through her pain she found purpose to demand we do better.Tonight, Danielle—we are.The VA is pioneering new ways of linking toxic exposures to diseases, already helping more veterans get benefits.And tonight, I’m announcing we’re expanding eligibility to veterans suffering from nine respiratory cancers.I’m also calling on Congress: pass a law to make sure veterans devastated by toxic exposures in Iraq and Afghanistan finally get the benefits and comprehensive health care they deserve.And fourth, let’s end cancer as we know it.This is personal to me and Jill, to Kamala, and to so many of you.Cancer is the #2 cause of death in America–second only to heart disease.Last month, I announced our plan to superchargethe Cancer Moonshot that President Obama asked me to lead six years ago.Our goal is to cut the cancer death rate by at least 50% over the next 25 years, turn more cancers from death sentences into treatable diseases.More support for patients and families.To get there, I call on Congress to fund ARPA-H, the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health.It’s based on DARPA—the Defense Department project that led to the Internet, GPS, and so much more.ARPA-H will have a singular purpose—to drive breakthroughs in cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and more.A unity agenda for the nation.We can do this.My fellow Americans—tonight , we have gathered in a sacred space—the citadel of our democracy.In this Capitol, generation after generation, Americans have debated great questions amid great strife, and have done great things.We have fought for freedom, expanded liberty, defeated totalitarianism and terror.And built the strongest, freest, and most prosperous nation the world has ever known.Now is the hour.Our moment of responsibility.Our test of resolve and conscience, of history itself.It is in this moment that our character is formed. Our purpose is found. Our future is forged.Well I know this nation.We will meet the test.To protect freedom and liberty, to expand fairness and opportunity.We will save democracy.As hard as these times have been, I am more optimistic about America today than I have been my whole life.Because I see the future that is within our grasp.Because I know there is simply nothing beyond our capacity.We are the only nation on Earth that has always turned every crisis we have faced into an opportunity.The only nation that can be defined by a single word: possibilities.So on this night, in our 245th year as a nation, I have come to report on the State of the Union.And my report is this: the State of the Union is strong—because you, the American people, are strong.We are stronger today than we were a year ago.And we will be stronger a year from now than we are today.Now is our moment to meet and overcome the challenges of our time.And we will, as one people.One America.The United States of America.May God bless you all. May God protect our troops.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":269,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9037796528,"gmtCreate":1648175137793,"gmtModify":1676534313486,"author":{"id":"4088594279252790","authorId":"4088594279252790","name":"RoosterCK","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/95d82027a8a87481178ec45908742b11","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088594279252790","authorIdStr":"4088594279252790"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Very

Members of Congress and the Cabinet. Justices of the Supreme Court. My fellow Americans.</p><p>Last year COVID-19 kept us apart. This year we are finally together again.</p><p>Tonight, we meet as Democrats Republicans and Independents. But most importantly as Americans.</p><p>With a duty to one another to the American people to the Constitution.</p><p>And with an unwavering resolve that freedom will always triumph over tyranny.</p><p>Six days ago, Russia’s Vladimir Putin sought to shake the foundations of the free world thinking he could make it bend to his menacing ways. But he badly miscalculated.</p><p>He thought he could roll into Ukraine and the world would roll over. Instead he met a wall of strength he never imagined.</p><p>He met the Ukrainian people.</p><p>From President Zelenskyy to every Ukrainian, their fearlessness, their courage, their determination, inspires the world.</p><p>Groups of citizens blocking tanks with their bodies. Everyone from students to retirees teachers turned soldiers defending their homeland.</p><p>In this struggle as President Zelenskyy said in his speech to the European Parliament “Light will win over darkness.” The Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States is here tonight.</p><p>Let each of us here tonight in this Chamber send an unmistakable signal to Ukraine and to the world.</p><p>Please rise if you are able and show that, Yes, we the United States of America stand with the Ukrainian people.</p><p>Throughout our history we’ve learned this lesson when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression they cause more chaos.</p><p>They keep moving.</p><p>And the costs and the threats to America and the world keep rising.</p><p>That’s why the NATO Alliance was created to secure peace and stability in Europe after World War 2.</p><p>The United States is a member along with 29 other nations.</p><p>It matters. American diplomacy matters. American resolve matters.</p><p>Putin’s latest attack on Ukraine was premeditated and unprovoked.</p><p>He rejected repeated efforts at diplomacy.</p><p>He thought the West and NATO wouldn’t respond. And he thought he could divide us at home. Putin was wrong. We were ready.  Here is what we did.</p><p>We prepared extensively and carefully.</p><p>We spent months building a coalition of other freedom-loving nations from Europe and the Americas to Asia and Africa to confront Putin.</p><p>I spent countless hours unifying our European allies. We shared with the world in advance what we knew Putin was planning and precisely how he would try to falsely justify his aggression.</p><p>We countered Russia’s lies with truth.</p><p>And now that he has acted the free world is holding him accountable.</p><p>Along with twenty-seven members of the European Union including France, Germany, Italy, as well as countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and many others, even Switzerland.</p><p>We are inflicting pain on Russia and supporting the people of Ukraine. Putin is now isolated from the world more than ever.</p><p>Together with our allies –we are right now enforcing powerful economic sanctions.</p><p>We are cutting off Russia’s largest banks from the international financial system.</p><p>Preventing Russia’s central bank from defending the Russian Ruble making Putin’s $630 Billion “war fund” worthless.</p><p>We are choking off Russia’s access to technology that will sap its economic strength and weaken its military for years to come.</p><p>Tonight I say to the Russian oligarchs and corrupt leaders who have bilked billions of dollars off this violent regime no more.</p><p>The U.S. Department of Justice is assembling a dedicated task force to go after the crimes of Russian oligarchs.</p><p>We are joining with our European allies to find and seize your yachts your luxury apartments your private jets. We are coming for your ill-begotten gains.</p><p>And tonight I am announcing that we will join our allies in closing off American air space to all Russian flights – further isolating Russia – and adding an additional squeeze –on their economy. The Ruble has lost 30% of its value.</p><p>The Russian stock market has lost 40% of its value and trading remains suspended. Russia’s economy is reeling and Putin alone is to blame.</p><p>Together with our allies we are providing support to the Ukrainians in their fight for freedom. Military assistance. Economic assistance. Humanitarian assistance.</p><p>We are giving more than $1 Billion in direct assistance to Ukraine.</p><p>And we will continue to aid the Ukrainian people as they defend their country and to help ease their suffering.</p><p>Let me be clear, our forces are not engaged and will not engage in conflict with Russian forces in Ukraine.</p><p>Our forces are not going to Europe to fight in Ukraine, but to defend our NATO Allies – in the event that Putin decides to keep moving west.</p><p>For that purpose we’ve mobilized American ground forces, air squadrons, and ship deployments to protect NATO countries including Poland, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.</p><p>As I have made crystal clear the United States and our Allies will defend every inch of territory of NATO countries with the full force of our collective power.</p><p>And we remain clear-eyed. The Ukrainians are fighting back with pure courage. But the next few days weeks, months, will be hard on them.</p><p>Putin has unleashed violence and chaos.  But while he may make gains on the battlefield – he will pay a continuing high price over the long run.</p><p>And a proud Ukrainian people, who have known 30 years  of independence, have repeatedly shown that they will not tolerate anyone who tries to take their country backwards.</p><p>To all Americans, I will be honest with you, as I’ve always promised. A Russian dictator, invading a foreign country, has costs around the world.</p><p>And I’m taking robust action to make sure the pain of our sanctions  is targeted at Russia’s economy. And I will use every tool at our disposal to protect American businesses and consumers.</p><p>Tonight, I can announce that the United States has worked with 30 other countries to release 60 Million barrels of oil from reserves around the world.</p><p>America will lead that effort, releasing 30 Million barrels from our own Strategic Petroleum Reserve. And we stand ready to do more if necessary, unified with our allies.</p><p>These steps will help blunt gas prices here at home. And I know the news about what’s happening can seem alarming.</p><p>But I want you to know that we are going to be okay.</p><p>When the history of this era is written Putin’s war on Ukraine will have left Russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger.</p><p>While it shouldn’t have taken something so terrible for people around the world to see what’s at stake now everyone sees it clearly.</p><p>We see the unity among leaders of nations and a more unified Europe a more unified West. And we see unity among the people who are gathering in cities in large crowds around the world even in Russia to demonstrate their support for Ukraine.</p><p>In the battle between democracy and autocracy, democracies are rising to the moment, and the world is clearly choosing the side of peace and security.</p><p>This is a real test. It’s going to take time. So let us continue to draw inspiration from the iron will of the Ukrainian people.</p><p>To our fellow Ukrainian Americans who forge a deep bond that connects our two nations we stand with you.</p><p>Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he will never gain the hearts and souls of the Ukrainian people.</p><p>He will never extinguish their love of freedom. He will never weaken the resolve of the free world.</p><p>We meet tonight in an America that has lived through two of the hardest years this nation has ever faced.</p><p>The pandemic has been punishing.</p><p>And so many families are living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to keep up with the rising cost of food, gas, housing, and so much more.</p><p>I understand.</p><p>I remember when my Dad had to leave our home in Scranton, Pennsylvania to find work. I grew up in a family where if the price of food went up, you felt it.</p><p>That’s why one of the first things I did as President was fight to pass the American Rescue Plan.</p><p>Because people were hurting. We needed to act, and we did.</p><p>Few pieces of legislation have done more in a critical moment in our history to lift us out of crisis.</p><p>It fueled our efforts to vaccinate the nation and combat COVID-19. It delivered immediate economic relief for tens of millions of Americans.</p><p>Helped put food on their table, keep a roof over their heads, and cut the cost of health insurance.</p><p>And as my Dad used to say, it gave people a little breathing room.</p><p>And unlike the $2 Trillion tax cut passed in the previous administration that benefitted the top 1% of Americans, the American Rescue Plan helped working people—and left no one behind.</p><p>And it worked. It created jobs. Lots of jobs.</p><p>In fact—our economy created over 6.5 Million new jobs just last year, more jobs created in one year</p><p>than ever before in the history of America.</p><p>Our economy grew at a rate of 5.7% last year, the strongest growth in nearly 40 years, the first step in bringing fundamental change to an economy that hasn’t worked for the working people of this nation for too long.</p><p>For the past 40 years we were told that if we gave tax breaks to those at the very top, the benefits would trickle down to everyone else.</p><p>But that trickle-down theory led to weaker economic growth, lower wages, bigger deficits, and the widest gap between those at the top and everyone else in nearly a century.</p><p>Vice President Harris and I ran for office with a new economic vision for America.</p><p>Invest in America. Educate Americans. Grow the workforce. Build the economy from the bottom up</p><p>and the middle out, not from the top down.</p><p>Because we know that when the middle class grows, the poor have a ladder up and the wealthy do very well.</p><p>America used to have the best roads, bridges, and airports on Earth.</p><p>Now our infrastructure is ranked 13th in the world.</p><p>We won’t be able to compete for the jobs of the 21st Century if we don’t fix that.</p><p>That’s why it was so important to pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—the most sweeping investment to rebuild America in history.</p><p>This was a bipartisan effort, and I want to thank the members of both parties who worked to make it happen.</p><p>We’re done talking about infrastructure weeks.</p><p>We’re going to have an infrastructure decade.</p><p>It is going to transform America and put us on a path to win the economic competition of the 21st Century that we face with the rest of the world—particularly with China.</p><p>As I’ve told Xi Jinping, it is never a good bet to bet against the American people.</p><p>We’ll create good jobs for millions of Americans, modernizing roads, airports, ports, and waterways all across America.</p><p>And we’ll do it all to withstand the devastating effects of the climate crisis and promote environmental justice.</p><p>We’ll build a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations, begin to replace poisonous lead pipes—so every child—and every American—has clean water to drink at home and at school, provide affordable high-speed internet for every American—urban, suburban, rural, and tribal communities.</p><p>4,000 projects have already been announced.</p><p>And tonight, I’m announcing that this year we will start fixing over 65,000 miles of highway and 1,500 bridges in disrepair.</p><p>When we use taxpayer dollars to rebuild America – we are going to Buy American: buy American products to support American jobs.</p><p>The federal government spends about $600 Billion a year to keep the country safe and secure.</p><p>There’s been a law on the books for almost a century</p><p>to make sure taxpayers’ dollars support American jobs and businesses.</p><p>Every Administration says they’ll do it, but we are actually doing it.</p><p>We will buy American to make sure everything from the deck of an aircraft carrier to the steel on highway guardrails are made in America.</p><p>But to compete for the best jobs of the future, we also need to level the playing field with China and other competitors.</p><p>That’s why it is so important to pass the Bipartisan Innovation Act sitting in Congress that will make record investments in emerging technologies and American manufacturing.</p><p>Let me give you one example of why it’s so important to pass it.</p><p>If you travel 20 miles east of Columbus, Ohio, you’ll find 1,000 empty acres of land.</p><p>It won’t look like much, but if you stop and look closely, you’ll see a “Field of dreams,” the ground on which America’s future will be built.</p><p>This is where Intel, the American company that helped build Silicon Valley, is going to build its $20 billion semiconductor “mega site”.</p><p>Up to eight state-of-the-art factories in one place. 10,000 new good-paying jobs.</p><p>Some of the most sophisticated manufacturing in the world to make computer chips the size of a fingertip that power the world and our everyday lives.</p><p>Smartphones. The Internet. Technology we have yet to invent.</p><p>But that’s just the beginning.</p><p>Intel’s CEO, Pat Gelsinger, who is here tonight, told me they are ready to increase their investment from</p><p>$20 billion to $100 billion.</p><p>That would be one of the biggest investments in manufacturing in American history.</p><p>And all they’re waiting for is for you to pass this bill.</p><p>So let’s not wait any longer. Send it to my desk. I’ll sign it.</p><p>And we will really take off.</p><p>And Intel is not alone.</p><p>There’s something happening in America.</p><p>Just look around and you’ll see an amazing story.</p><p>The rebirth of the pride that comes from stamping products “Made In America.” The revitalization of American manufacturing.</p><p>Companies are choosing to build new factories here, when just a few years ago, they would have built them overseas.</p><p>That’s what is happening. Ford is investing $11 billion to build electric vehicles, creating 11,000 jobs across the country.</p><p>GM is making the largest investment in its history—$7 billion to build electric vehicles, creating 4,000 jobs in Michigan.</p><p>All told, we created 369,000 new manufacturing jobs in America just last year.</p><p>Powered by people I’ve met like JoJo Burgess, from generations of union steelworkers from Pittsburgh, who’s here with us tonight.</p><p>As Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown says, “It’s time to bury the label “Rust Belt.”</p><p>It’s time.</p><p>But with all the bright spots in our economy, record job growth and higher wages, too many families are struggling to keep up with the bills.</p><p>Inflation is robbing them of the gains they might otherwise feel.</p><p>I get it. That’s why my top priority is getting prices under control.</p><p>Look, our economy roared back faster than most predicted, but the pandemic meant that businesses had a hard time hiring enough workers to keep up production in their factories.</p><p>The pandemic also disrupted global supply chains.</p><p>When factories close, it takes longer to make goods and get them from the warehouse to the store, and prices go up.</p><p>Look at cars.</p><p>Last year, there weren’t enough semiconductors to make all the cars that people wanted to buy.</p><p>And guess what, prices of automobiles went up.</p><p>So—we have a choice.</p><p>One way to fight inflation is to drive down wages and make Americans poorer.</p><p>I have a better plan to fight inflation.</p><p>Lower your costs, not your wages.</p><p>Make more cars and semiconductors in America.</p><p>More infrastructure and innovation in America.</p><p>More goods moving faster and cheaper in America.</p><p>More jobs where you can earn a good living in America.</p><p>And instead of relying on foreign supply chains, let’s make it in America.</p><p>Economists call it “increasing the productive capacity of our economy.”</p><p>I call it building a better America.</p><p>My plan to fight inflation will lower your costs and lower the deficit.</p><p>17 Nobel laureates in economics say my plan will ease long-term inflationary pressures. Top business leaders and most Americans support my plan. And here’s the plan:</p><p>First – cut the cost of prescription drugs. Just look at insulin. One in ten Americans has diabetes. In Virginia, I met a 13-year-old boy named Joshua Davis.</p><p>He and his Dad both have Type 1 diabetes, which means they need insulin every day. Insulin costs about $10 a vial to make.</p><p>But drug companies charge families like Joshua and his Dad up to 30 times more. I spoke with Joshua’s mom.</p><p>Imagine what it’s like to look at your child who needs insulin and have no idea how you’re going to pay for it.</p><p>What it does to your dignity, your ability to look your child in the eye, to be the parent you expect to be.</p><p>Joshua is here with us tonight. Yesterday was his birthday. Happy birthday, buddy.</p><p>For Joshua, and for the 200,000 other young people with Type 1 diabetes, let’s cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month so everyone can afford it.</p><p>Drug companies will still do very well. And while we’re at it let Medicare negotiate lower prices for prescription drugs, like the VA already does.</p><p>Look, the American Rescue Plan is helping millions of families on Affordable Care Act plans save $2,400 a year on their health care premiums. Let’s close the coverage gap and make those savings permanent.</p><p>Second – cut energy costs for families an average of $500 a year by combatting climate change.</p><p>Let’s provide investments and tax credits to weatherize your homes and businesses to be energy efficient and you get a tax credit; double America’s clean energy production in solar, wind, and so much more;  lower the price of electric vehicles, saving you another $80 a month because you’ll never have to pay at the gas pump again.</p><p>Third – cut the cost of child care. Many families pay up to $14,000 a year for child care per child.</p><p>Middle-class and working families shouldn’t have to pay more than 7% of their income for care of young children.</p><p>My plan will cut the cost in half for most families and help parents, including millions of women, who left the workforce during the pandemic because they couldn’t afford child care, to be able to get back to work.</p><p>My plan doesn’t stop there. It also includes home and long-term care. More affordable housing. And Pre-K for every 3- and 4-year-old.</p><p>All of these will lower costs.</p><p>And under my plan, nobody earning less than $400,000 a year will pay an additional penny in new taxes. Nobody.</p><p>The one thing all Americans agree on is that the tax system is not fair. We have to fix it.</p><p>I’m not looking to punish anyone. But let’s make sure corporations and the wealthiest Americans start paying their fair share.</p><p>Just last year, 55 Fortune 500 corporations earned $40 billion in profits and paid zero dollars in federal income tax.</p><p>That’s simply not fair. That’s why I’ve proposed a 15% minimum tax rate for corporations.</p><p>We got more than 130 countries to agree on a global minimum tax rate so companies can’t get out of paying their taxes at home by shipping jobs and factories overseas.</p><p>That’s why I’ve proposed closing loopholes so the very wealthy don’t pay a lower tax rate than a teacher or a firefighter.</p><p>So that’s my plan. It will grow the economy and lower costs for families.</p><p>So what are we waiting for? Let’s get this done. And while you’re at it, confirm my nominees to the Federal Reserve, which plays a critical role in fighting inflation.</p><p>My plan will not only lower costs to give families a fair shot, it will lower the deficit.</p><p>The previous Administration not only ballooned the deficit with tax cuts for the very wealthy and corporations, it undermined the watchdogs whose job was to keep pandemic relief funds from being wasted.</p><p>But in my administration, the watchdogs have been welcomed back.</p><p>We’re going after the criminals who stole billions in relief money meant for small businesses and millions of Americans.</p><p>And tonight, I’m announcing that the Justice Department will name a chief prosecutor for pandemic fraud.</p><p>By the end of this year, the deficit will be down to less than half what it was before I took office.</p><p>The only president ever to cut the deficit by more than one trillion dollars in a single year.</p><p>Lowering your costs also means demanding more competition.</p><p>I’m a capitalist, but capitalism without competition isn’t capitalism.</p><p>It’s exploitation—and it drives up prices.</p><p>When corporations don’t have to compete, their profits go up, your prices go up, and small businesses and family farmers and ranchers go under.</p><p>We see it happening with ocean carriers moving goods in and out of America.</p><p>During the pandemic, these foreign-owned companies raised prices by as much as 1,000% and made record profits.</p><p>Tonight, I’m announcing a crackdown on these companies overcharging American businesses and consumers.</p><p>And as Wall Street firms take over more nursing homes, quality in those homes has gone down and costs have gone up.</p><p>That ends on my watch.</p><p>Medicare is going to set higher standards for nursing homes and make sure your loved ones get the care they deserve and expect.</p><p>We’ll also cut costs and keep the economy going strong by giving workers a fair shot, provide more training and apprenticeships, hire them based on their skills not degrees.</p><p>Let’s pass the Paycheck Fairness Act and paid leave.</p><p>Raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and extend the Child Tax Credit, so no one has to raise a family in poverty.</p><p>Let’s increase Pell Grants and increase our historic support of HBCUs, and invest in what Jill—our First Lady who teaches full-time—calls America’s best-kept secret: community colleges.</p><p>And let’s pass the PRO Act when a majority of workers want to form a union—they shouldn’t be stopped.</p><p>When we invest in our workers, when we build the economy from the bottom up and the middle out together, we can do something we haven’t done in a long time: build a better America.</p><p>For more than two years, COVID-19 has impacted every decision in our lives and the life of the nation.</p><p>And I know you’re tired, frustrated, and exhausted.</p><p>But I also know this.</p><p>Because of the progress we’ve made, because of your resilience and the tools we have, tonight I can say</p><p>we are moving forward safely, back to more normal routines.</p><p>We’ve reached a new moment in the fight against COVID-19, with severe cases down to a level not seen since last July.</p><p>Just a few days ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—the CDC—issued new mask guidelines.</p><p>Under these new guidelines, most Americans in most of the country can now be mask free.</p><p>And based on the projections, more of the country will reach that point across the next couple of weeks.</p><p>Thanks to the progress we have made this past year, COVID-19 need no longer control our lives.</p><p>I know some are talking about “living with COVID-19”. Tonight – I say that we will never just accept living with COVID-19.</p><p>We will continue to combat the virus as we do other diseases. And because this is a virus that mutates and spreads, we will stay on guard.</p><p>Here are four common sense steps as we move forward safely.</p><p>First, stay protected with vaccines and treatments. We know how incredibly effective vaccines are. If you’re vaccinated and boosted you have the highest degree of protection.</p><p>We will never give up on vaccinating more Americans. Now, I know parents with kids under 5 are eager to see a vaccine authorized for their children.</p><p>The scientists are working hard to get that done and we’ll be ready with plenty of vaccines when they do.</p><p>We’re also ready with anti-viral treatments. If you get COVID-19, the Pfizer pill reduces your chances of ending up in the hospital by 90%.</p><p>We’ve ordered more of these pills than anyone in the world. And Pfizer is working overtime to get us 1 Million pills this month and more than double that next month.</p><p>And we’re launching the “Test to Treat” initiative so people can get tested at a pharmacy, and if they’re positive, receive antiviral pills on the spot at no cost.</p><p>If you’re immunocompromised or have some other vulnerability, we have treatments and free high-quality masks.</p><p>We’re leaving no one behind or ignoring anyone’s needs as we move forward.</p><p>And on testing, we have made hundreds of millions of tests available for you to order for free.</p><p>Even if you already ordered free tests tonight, I am announcing that you can order more from <a href=\"http://covidtests.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">covidtests.gov</a> starting next week.</p><p>Second – we must prepare for new variants. Over the past year, we’ve gotten much better at detecting new variants.</p><p>If necessary, we’ll be able to deploy new vaccines within 100 days instead of many more months or years.</p><p>And, if Congress provides the funds we need, we’ll have new stockpiles of tests, masks, and pills ready if needed.</p><p>I cannot promise a new variant won’t come. But I can promise you we’ll do everything within our power to be ready if it does.</p><p>Third – we can end the shutdown of schools and businesses. We have the tools we need.</p><p>It’s time for Americans to get back to work and fill our great downtowns again.  People working from home can feel safe to begin to return to the office.</p><p>We’re doing that here in the federal government. The vast majority of federal workers will once again work in person.</p><p>Our schools are open. Let’s keep it that way. Our kids need to be in school.</p><p>And with 75% of adult Americans fully vaccinated and hospitalizations down by 77%, most Americans can remove their masks, return to work, stay in the classroom, and move forward safely.</p><p>We achieved this because we provided free vaccines, treatments, tests, and masks.</p><p>Of course, continuing this costs money.</p><p>I will soon send Congress a request.</p><p>The vast majority of Americans have used these tools and may want to again, so I expect Congress to pass it quickly.</p><p>Fourth, we will continue vaccinating the world.</p><p>We’ve sent 475 Million vaccine doses to 112 countries, more than any other nation.</p><p>And we won’t stop.</p><p>We have lost so much to COVID-19. Time with one another. And worst of all, so much loss of life.</p><p>Let’s use this moment to reset. Let’s stop looking at COVID-19 as a partisan dividing line and see it for what it is: A God-awful disease.</p><p>Let’s stop seeing each other as enemies, and start seeing each other for who we really are: Fellow Americans.</p><p>We can’t change how divided we’ve been. But we can change how we move forward—on COVID-19 and other issues we must face together.</p><p>I recently visited the New York City Police Department days after the funerals of Officer Wilbert Mora and his partner, Officer Jason Rivera.</p><p>They were responding to a 9-1-1 call when a man shot and killed them with a stolen gun.</p><p>Officer Mora was 27 years old.</p><p>Officer Rivera was 22.</p><p>Both Dominican Americans who’d grown up on the same streets they later chose to patrol as police officers.</p><p>I spoke with their families and told them that we are forever in debt for their sacrifice, and we will carry on their mission to restore the trust and safety every community deserves.</p><p>I’ve worked on these issues a long time.</p><p>I know what works: Investing in crime preventionand community police officers who’ll walk the beat, who’ll know the neighborhood, and who can restore trust and safety.</p><p>So let’s not abandon our streets. Or choose between safety and equal justice.</p><p>Let’s come together to protect our communities, restore trust, and hold law enforcement accountable.</p><p>That’s why the Justice Department required body cameras, banned chokeholds, and restricted no-knock warrants for its officers.</p><p>That’s why the American Rescue Plan provided $350 Billion that cities, states, and counties can use to hire more police and invest in proven strategies like community violence interruption—trusted messengers breaking the cycle of violence and trauma and giving young people hope.</p><p>We should all agree: The answer is not to Defund the police. The answer is to FUND the police with the resources and training they need to protect our communities.</p><p>I ask Democrats and Republicans alike: Pass my budget and keep our neighborhoods safe.</p><p>And I will keep doing everything in my power to crack down on gun trafficking and ghost guns you can buy online and make at home—they have no serial numbers and can’t be traced.</p><p>And I ask Congress to pass proven measures to reduce gun violence. Pass universal background checks. Why should anyone on a terrorist list be able to purchase a weapon?</p><p>Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.</p><p>Repeal the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry in America that can’t be sued.</p><p>These laws don’t infringe on the Second Amendment. They save lives.</p><p>The most fundamental right in America is the right to vote – and to have it counted. And it’s under assault.</p><p>In state after state, new laws have been passed, not only to suppress the vote, but to subvert entire elections.</p><p>We cannot let this happen.</p><p>Tonight. I call on the Senate to: Pass the Freedom to Vote Act. Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. And while you’re at it, pass the Disclose Act so Americans can know who is funding our elections.</p><p>Tonight, I’d like to honor someone who has dedicated his life to serve this country: Justice Stephen Breyer—an Army veteran, Constitutional scholar, and retiring Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Justice Breyer, thank you for your service.</p><p>One of the most serious constitutional responsibilities a President has is nominating someone to serve on the United States Supreme Court.</p><p>And I did that 4 days ago, when I nominated Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. One of our nation’s top legal minds, who will continue Justice Breyer’s legacy of excellence.</p><p>A former top litigator in private practice. A former federal public defender. And from a family of public school educators and police officers. A consensus builder. Since she’s been nominated, she’s received a broad range of support—from the Fraternal Order of Police to former judges appointed by Democrats and Republicans.</p><p>And if we are to advance liberty and justice, we need to secure the Border and fix the immigration system.</p><p>We can do both. At our border, we’ve installed new technology like cutting-edge scanners to better detect drug smuggling.</p><p>We’ve set up joint patrols with Mexico and Guatemala to catch more human traffickers.</p><p>We’re putting in place dedicated immigration judges so families fleeing persecution and violence can have their cases heard faster.</p><p>We’re securing commitments and supporting partners in South and Central America to host more refugees and secure their own borders.</p><p>We can do all this while keeping lit the torch of liberty that has led generations of immigrants to this land—my forefathers and so many of yours.</p><p>Provide a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, those on temporary status, farm workers, and essential workers.</p><p>Revise our laws so businesses have the workers they need and families don’t wait decades to reunite.</p><p>It’s not only the right thing to do—it’s the economically smart thing to do.</p><p>That’s why immigration reform is supported by everyone from labor unions to religious leaders to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.</p><p>Let’s get it done once and for all.</p><p>Advancing liberty and justice also requires protecting the rights of women.</p><p>The constitutional right affirmed in Roe v. Wade—standing precedent for half a century—is under attack as never before.</p><p>If we want to go forward—not backward—we must protect access to health care. Preserve a woman’s right to choose. And let’s continue to advance maternal health care in America.</p><p>And for our LGBTQ+ Americans, let’s finally get the bipartisan Equality Act to my desk. The onslaught of state laws targeting transgender Americans and their families is wrong.</p><p>As I said last year, especially to our younger transgender Americans, I will always have your back as your President, so you can be yourself and reach your God-given potential.</p><p>While it often appears that we never agree, that isn’t true. I signed 80 bipartisan bills into law last year. From preventing government shutdowns to protecting Asian-Americans from still-too-common hate crimes to reforming military justice.</p><p>And soon, we’ll strengthen the Violence Against Women Act that I first wrote three decades ago. It is important for us to show the nation that we can come together and do big things.</p><p>So tonight I’m offering a Unity Agenda for the Nation. Four big things we can do together.</p><p>First, beat the opioid epidemic.</p><p>There is so much we can do. Increase funding for prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery.</p><p>Get rid of outdated rules that stop doctors from prescribing treatments. And stop the flow of illicit drugs by working with state and local law enforcement to go after traffickers.</p><p>If you’re suffering from addiction, know you are not alone. I believe in recovery, and I celebrate the 23 million Americans in recovery.</p><p>Second, let’s take on mental health. Especially among our children, whose lives and education have been turned upside down.</p><p>The American Rescue Plan gave schools money to hire teachers and help students make up for lost learning.</p><p>I urge every parent to make sure your school does just that. And we can all play a part—sign up to be a tutor or a mentor.</p><p>Children were also struggling before the pandemic. Bullying, violence, trauma, and the harms of social media.</p><p>As Frances Haugen, who is here with us tonight, has shown, we must hold social media platforms accountable for the national experiment they’re conducting on our children for profit.</p><p>It’s time to strengthen privacy protections, ban targeted advertising to children, demand tech companies stop collecting personal data on our children.</p><p>And let’s get all Americans the mental health services they need. More people they can turn to for help, and full parity between physical and mental health care.</p><p>Third, support our veterans.</p><p>Veterans are the best of us.</p><p>I’ve always believed that we have a sacred obligation to equip all those we send to war and care for them and their families when they come home.</p><p>My administration is providing assistance with job training and housing, and now helping lower-income veterans get VA care debt-free.</p><p>Our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan faced many dangers.</p><p>One was stationed at bases and breathing in toxic smoke from “burn pits” that incinerated wastes of war—medical and hazard material, jet fuel, and more.</p><p>When they came home, many of the world’s fittest and best trained warriors were never the same.</p><p>Headaches. Numbness. Dizziness.</p><p>A cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin.</p><p>I know.</p><p>One of those soldiers was my son Major Beau Biden.</p><p>We don’t know for sure if a burn pit was the cause of his brain cancer, or the diseases of so many of our troops.</p><p>But I’m committed to finding out everything we can.</p><p>Committed to military families like Danielle Robinson from Ohio.</p><p>The widow of Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson.</p><p>He was born a soldier. Army National Guard. Combat medic in Kosovo and Iraq.</p><p>Stationed near Baghdad, just yards from burn pits the size of football fields.</p><p>Heath’s widow Danielle is here with us tonight. They loved going to Ohio State football games. He loved building Legos with their daughter.</p><p>But cancer from prolonged exposure to burn pits ravaged Heath’s lungs and body.</p><p>Danielle says Heath was a fighter to the very end.</p><p>He didn’t know how to stop fighting, and neither did she.</p><p>Through her pain she found purpose to demand we do better.</p><p>Tonight, Danielle—we are.</p><p>The VA is pioneering new ways of linking toxic exposures to diseases, already helping more veterans get benefits.</p><p>And tonight, I’m announcing we’re expanding eligibility to veterans suffering from nine respiratory cancers.</p><p>I’m also calling on Congress: pass a law to make sure veterans devastated by toxic exposures in Iraq and Afghanistan finally get the benefits and comprehensive health care they deserve.</p><p>And fourth, let’s end cancer as we know it.</p><p>This is personal to me and Jill, to Kamala, and to so many of you.</p><p>Cancer is the #2 cause of death in America–second only to heart disease.</p><p>Last month, I announced our plan to supercharge</p><p>the Cancer Moonshot that President Obama asked me to lead six years ago.</p><p>Our goal is to cut the cancer death rate by at least 50% over the next 25 years, turn more cancers from death sentences into treatable diseases.</p><p>More support for patients and families.</p><p>To get there, I call on Congress to fund ARPA-H, the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health.</p><p>It’s based on DARPA—the Defense Department project that led to the Internet, GPS, and so much more.</p><p>ARPA-H will have a singular purpose—to drive breakthroughs in cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and more.</p><p>A unity agenda for the nation.</p><p>We can do this.</p><p>My fellow Americans—tonight , we have gathered in a sacred space—the citadel of our democracy.</p><p>In this Capitol, generation after generation, Americans have debated great questions amid great strife, and have done great things.</p><p>We have fought for freedom, expanded liberty, defeated totalitarianism and terror.</p><p>And built the strongest, freest, and most prosperous nation the world has ever known.</p><p>Now is the hour.</p><p>Our moment of responsibility.</p><p>Our test of resolve and conscience, of history itself.</p><p>It is in this moment that our character is formed. Our purpose is found. Our future is forged.</p><p>Well I know this nation.</p><p>We will meet the test.</p><p>To protect freedom and liberty, to expand fairness and opportunity.</p><p>We will save democracy.</p><p>As hard as these times have been, I am more optimistic about America today than I have been my whole life.</p><p>Because I see the future that is within our grasp.</p><p>Because I know there is simply nothing beyond our capacity.</p><p>We are the only nation on Earth that has always turned every crisis we have faced into an opportunity.</p><p>The only nation that can be defined by a single word: possibilities.</p><p>So on this night, in our 245th year as a nation, I have come to report on the State of the Union.</p><p>And my report is this: the State of the Union is strong—because you, the American people, are strong.</p><p>We are stronger today than we were a year ago.</p><p>And we will be stronger a year from now than we are today.</p><p>Now is our moment to meet and overcome the challenges of our time.</p><p>And we will, as one people.</p><p>One America.</p><p>The United States of America.</p><p>May God bless you all. May God protect our troops.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1603348471595","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta

Russia-Ukraine conflict, COVID in focus in president’s first State of the Union addressPresident Joe Biden delivers the State of the Union address during a joint session of Congress in the U.S. Capitol’s House Chamber on March 01, 2022 in Washington.Here is the full text, as prepared for delivery, of President Joe Biden’s first State of the Union address, as released Tuesday by the White House.Madam Speaker, Madam Vice President, our First Lady and Second Gentleman. Members of Congress and the Cabinet. Justices of the Supreme Court. My fellow Americans.Last year COVID-19 kept us apart. This year we are finally together again.Tonight, we meet as Democrats Republicans and Independents. But most importantly as Americans.With a duty to one another to the American people to the Constitution.And with an unwavering resolve that freedom will always triumph over tyranny.Six days ago, Russia’s Vladimir Putin sought to shake the foundations of the free world thinking he could make it bend to his menacing ways. But he badly miscalculated.He thought he could roll into Ukraine and the world would roll over. Instead he met a wall of strength he never imagined.He met the Ukrainian people.From President Zelenskyy to every Ukrainian, their fearlessness, their courage, their determination, inspires the world.Groups of citizens blocking tanks with their bodies. Everyone from students to retirees teachers turned soldiers defending their homeland.In this struggle as President Zelenskyy said in his speech to the European Parliament “Light will win over darkness.” The Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States is here tonight.Let each of us here tonight in this Chamber send an unmistakable signal to Ukraine and to the world.Please rise if you are able and show that, Yes, we the United States of America stand with the Ukrainian people.Throughout our history we’ve learned this lesson when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression they cause more chaos.They keep moving.And the costs and the threats to America and the world keep rising.That’s why the NATO Alliance was created to secure peace and stability in Europe after World War 2.The United States is a member along with 29 other nations.It matters. American diplomacy matters. American resolve matters.Putin’s latest attack on Ukraine was premeditated and unprovoked.He rejected repeated efforts at diplomacy.He thought the West and NATO wouldn’t respond. And he thought he could divide us at home. Putin was wrong. We were ready.  Here is what we did.We prepared extensively and carefully.We spent months building a coalition of other freedom-loving nations from Europe and the Americas to Asia and Africa to confront Putin.I spent countless hours unifying our European allies. We shared with the world in advance what we knew Putin was planning and precisely how he would try to falsely justify his aggression.We countered Russia’s lies with truth.And now that he has acted the free world is holding him accountable.Along with twenty-seven members of the European Union including France, Germany, Italy, as well as countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and many others, even Switzerland.We are inflicting pain on Russia and supporting the people of Ukraine. Putin is now isolated from the world more than ever.Together with our allies –we are right now enforcing powerful economic sanctions.We are cutting off Russia’s largest banks from the international financial system.Preventing Russia’s central bank from defending the Russian Ruble making Putin’s $630 Billion “war fund” worthless.We are choking off Russia’s access to technology that will sap its economic strength and weaken its military for years to come.Tonight I say to the Russian oligarchs and corrupt leaders who have bilked billions of dollars off this violent regime no more.The U.S. Department of Justice is assembling a dedicated task force to go after the crimes of Russian oligarchs.We are joining with our European allies to find and seize your yachts your luxury apartments your private jets. We are coming for your ill-begotten gains.And tonight I am announcing that we will join our allies in closing off American air space to all Russian flights – further isolating Russia – and adding an additional squeeze –on their economy. The Ruble has lost 30% of its value.The Russian stock market has lost 40% of its value and trading remains suspended. Russia’s economy is reeling and Putin alone is to blame.Together with our allies we are providing support to the Ukrainians in their fight for freedom. Military assistance. Economic assistance. Humanitarian assistance.We are giving more than $1 Billion in direct assistance to Ukraine.And we will continue to aid the Ukrainian people as they defend their country and to help ease their suffering.Let me be clear, our forces are not engaged and will not engage in conflict with Russian forces in Ukraine.Our forces are not going to Europe to fight in Ukraine, but to defend our NATO Allies – in the event that Putin decides to keep moving west.For that purpose we’ve mobilized American ground forces, air squadrons, and ship deployments to protect NATO countries including Poland, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.As I have made crystal clear the United States and our Allies will defend every inch of territory of NATO countries with the full force of our collective power.And we remain clear-eyed. The Ukrainians are fighting back with pure courage. But the next few days weeks, months, will be hard on them.Putin has unleashed violence and chaos.  But while he may make gains on the battlefield – he will pay a continuing high price over the long run.And a proud Ukrainian people, who have known 30 years  of independence, have repeatedly shown that they will not tolerate anyone who tries to take their country backwards.To all Americans, I will be honest with you, as I’ve always promised. A Russian dictator, invading a foreign country, has costs around the world.And I’m taking robust action to make sure the pain of our sanctions  is targeted at Russia’s economy. And I will use every tool at our disposal to protect American businesses and consumers.Tonight, I can announce that the United States has worked with 30 other countries to release 60 Million barrels of oil from reserves around the world.America will lead that effort, releasing 30 Million barrels from our own Strategic Petroleum Reserve. And we stand ready to do more if necessary, unified with our allies.These steps will help blunt gas prices here at home. And I know the news about what’s happening can seem alarming.But I want you to know that we are going to be okay.When the history of this era is written Putin’s war on Ukraine will have left Russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger.While it shouldn’t have taken something so terrible for people around the world to see what’s at stake now everyone sees it clearly.We see the unity among leaders of nations and a more unified Europe a more unified West. And we see unity among the people who are gathering in cities in large crowds around the world even in Russia to demonstrate their support for Ukraine.In the battle between democracy and autocracy, democracies are rising to the moment, and the world is clearly choosing the side of peace and security.This is a real test. It’s going to take time. So let us continue to draw inspiration from the iron will of the Ukrainian people.To our fellow Ukrainian Americans who forge a deep bond that connects our two nations we stand with you.Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he will never gain the hearts and souls of the Ukrainian people.He will never extinguish their love of freedom. He will never weaken the resolve of the free world.We meet tonight in an America that has lived through two of the hardest years this nation has ever faced.The pandemic has been punishing.And so many families are living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to keep up with the rising cost of food, gas, housing, and so much more.I understand.I remember when my Dad had to leave our home in Scranton, Pennsylvania to find work. I grew up in a family where if the price of food went up, you felt it.That’s why one of the first things I did as President was fight to pass the American Rescue Plan.Because people were hurting. We needed to act, and we did.Few pieces of legislation have done more in a critical moment in our history to lift us out of crisis.It fueled our efforts to vaccinate the nation and combat COVID-19. It delivered immediate economic relief for tens of millions of Americans.Helped put food on their table, keep a roof over their heads, and cut the cost of health insurance.And as my Dad used to say, it gave people a little breathing room.And unlike the $2 Trillion tax cut passed in the previous administration that benefitted the top 1% of Americans, the American Rescue Plan helped working people—and left no one behind.And it worked. It created jobs. Lots of jobs.In fact—our economy created over 6.5 Million new jobs just last year, more jobs created in one yearthan ever before in the history of America.Our economy grew at a rate of 5.7% last year, the strongest growth in nearly 40 years, the first step in bringing fundamental change to an economy that hasn’t worked for the working people of this nation for too long.For the past 40 years we were told that if we gave tax breaks to those at the very top, the benefits would trickle down to everyone else.But that trickle-down theory led to weaker economic growth, lower wages, bigger deficits, and the widest gap between those at the top and everyone else in nearly a century.Vice President Harris and I ran for office with a new economic vision for America.Invest in America. Educate Americans. Grow the workforce. Build the economy from the bottom upand the middle out, not from the top down.Because we know that when the middle class grows, the poor have a ladder up and the wealthy do very well.America used to have the best roads, bridges, and airports on Earth.Now our infrastructure is ranked 13th in the world.We won’t be able to compete for the jobs of the 21st Century if we don’t fix that.That’s why it was so important to pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—the most sweeping investment to rebuild America in history.This was a bipartisan effort, and I want to thank the members of both parties who worked to make it happen.We’re done talking about infrastructure weeks.We’re going to have an infrastructure decade.It is going to transform America and put us on a path to win the economic competition of the 21st Century that we face with the rest of the world—particularly with China.As I’ve told Xi Jinping, it is never a good bet to bet against the American people.We’ll create good jobs for millions of Americans, modernizing roads, airports, ports, and waterways all across America.And we’ll do it all to withstand the devastating effects of the climate crisis and promote environmental justice.We’ll build a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations, begin to replace poisonous lead pipes—so every child—and every American—has clean water to drink at home and at school, provide affordable high-speed internet for every American—urban, suburban, rural, and tribal communities.4,000 projects have already been announced.And tonight, I’m announcing that this year we will start fixing over 65,000 miles of highway and 1,500 bridges in disrepair.When we use taxpayer dollars to rebuild America – we are going to Buy American: buy American products to support American jobs.The federal government spends about $600 Billion a year to keep the country safe and secure.There’s been a law on the books for almost a centuryto make sure taxpayers’ dollars support American jobs and businesses.Every Administration says they’ll do it, but we are actually doing it.We will buy American to make sure everything from the deck of an aircraft carrier to the steel on highway guardrails are made in America.But to compete for the best jobs of the future, we also need to level the playing field with China and other competitors.That’s why it is so important to pass the Bipartisan Innovation Act sitting in Congress that will make record investments in emerging technologies and American manufacturing.Let me give you one example of why it’s so important to pass it.If you travel 20 miles east of Columbus, Ohio, you’ll find 1,000 empty acres of land.It won’t look like much, but if you stop and look closely, you’ll see a “Field of dreams,” the ground on which America’s future will be built.This is where Intel, the American company that helped build Silicon Valley, is going to build its $20 billion semiconductor “mega site”.Up to eight state-of-the-art factories in one place. 10,000 new good-paying jobs.Some of the most sophisticated manufacturing in the world to make computer chips the size of a fingertip that power the world and our everyday lives.Smartphones. The Internet. Technology we have yet to invent.But that’s just the beginning.Intel’s CEO, Pat Gelsinger, who is here tonight, told me they are ready to increase their investment from$20 billion to $100 billion.That would be one of the biggest investments in manufacturing in American history.And all they’re waiting for is for you to pass this bill.So let’s not wait any longer. Send it to my desk. I’ll sign it.And we will really take off.And Intel is not alone.There’s something happening in America.Just look around and you’ll see an amazing story.The rebirth of the pride that comes from stamping products “Made In America.” The revitalization of American manufacturing.Companies are choosing to build new factories here, when just a few years ago, they would have built them overseas.That’s what is happening. Ford is investing $11 billion to build electric vehicles, creating 11,000 jobs across the country.GM is making the largest investment in its history—$7 billion to build electric vehicles, creating 4,000 jobs in Michigan.All told, we created 369,000 new manufacturing jobs in America just last year.Powered by people I’ve met like JoJo Burgess, from generations of union steelworkers from Pittsburgh, who’s here with us tonight.As Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown says, “It’s time to bury the label “Rust Belt.”It’s time.But with all the bright spots in our economy, record job growth and higher wages, too many families are struggling to keep up with the bills.Inflation is robbing them of the gains they might otherwise feel.I get it. That’s why my top priority is getting prices under control.Look, our economy roared back faster than most predicted, but the pandemic meant that businesses had a hard time hiring enough workers to keep up production in their factories.The pandemic also disrupted global supply chains.When factories close, it takes longer to make goods and get them from the warehouse to the store, and prices go up.Look at cars.Last year, there weren’t enough semiconductors to make all the cars that people wanted to buy.And guess what, prices of automobiles went up.So—we have a choice.One way to fight inflation is to drive down wages and make Americans poorer.I have a better plan to fight inflation.Lower your costs, not your wages.Make more cars and semiconductors in America.More infrastructure and innovation in America.More goods moving faster and cheaper in America.More jobs where you can earn a good living in America.And instead of relying on foreign supply chains, let’s make it in America.Economists call it “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 say my plan will ease long-term inflationary pressures. Top business leaders and most Americans support my plan. And here’s the plan:First – cut the cost of prescription drugs. Just look at insulin. One in ten Americans has diabetes. In Virginia, I met a 13-year-old boy named Joshua Davis.He and his Dad both have Type 1 diabetes, which means they need insulin every day. Insulin costs about $10 a vial to make.But drug companies charge families like Joshua and his Dad up to 30 times more. I spoke with Joshua’s mom.Imagine what it’s like to look at your child who needs insulin and have no idea how you’re going to pay for it.What it does to your dignity, your ability to look your child in the eye, to be the parent you expect to be.Joshua is here with us tonight. Yesterday was his birthday. Happy birthday, buddy.For Joshua, and for the 200,000 other young people with Type 1 diabetes, let’s cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month so everyone can afford it.Drug companies will still do very well. And while we’re at it let Medicare negotiate lower prices for prescription drugs, like the VA already does.Look, the American Rescue Plan is helping millions of families on Affordable Care Act plans save $2,400 a year on their health care premiums. Let’s close the coverage gap and make those savings permanent.Second – cut energy costs for families an average of $500 a year by combatting climate change.Let’s provide investments and tax credits to weatherize your homes and businesses to be energy efficient and you get a tax credit; double America’s clean energy production in solar, wind, and so much more;  lower the price of electric vehicles, saving you another $80 a month because you’ll never have to pay at the gas pump again.Third – cut the cost of child care. Many families pay up to $14,000 a year for child care per child.Middle-class and working families shouldn’t have to pay more than 7% of their income for care of young children.My plan will cut the cost in half for most families and help parents, including millions of women, who left the workforce during the pandemic because they couldn’t afford child care, to be able to get back to work.My plan doesn’t stop there. It also includes home and long-term care. More affordable housing. And Pre-K for every 3- and 4-year-old.All of these will lower costs.And under my plan, nobody earning less than $400,000 a year will pay an additional penny in new taxes. Nobody.The one thing all Americans agree on is that the tax system is not fair. We have to fix it.I’m not looking to punish anyone. But let’s make sure corporations and the wealthiest Americans start paying their fair share.Just last year, 55 Fortune 500 corporations earned $40 billion in profits and paid zero dollars in federal income tax.That’s simply not fair. That’s why I’ve proposed a 15% minimum tax rate for corporations.We got more than 130 countries to agree on a global minimum tax rate so companies can’t get out of paying their taxes at home by shipping jobs and factories overseas.That’s why I’ve proposed closing loopholes so the very wealthy don’t pay a lower tax rate than a teacher or a firefighter.So that’s my plan. It will grow the economy and lower costs for families.So what are we waiting for? Let’s get this done. And while you’re at it, confirm my nominees to the Federal Reserve, which plays a critical role in fighting inflation.My plan will not only lower costs to give families a fair shot, it will lower the deficit.The previous Administration not only ballooned the deficit with tax cuts for the very wealthy and corporations, it undermined the watchdogs whose job was to keep pandemic relief funds from being wasted.But in my administration, the watchdogs have been welcomed back.We’re going after the criminals who stole billions in relief money meant for small businesses and millions of Americans.And tonight, I’m announcing that the Justice Department will name a chief prosecutor for pandemic fraud.By the end of this year, the deficit will be down to less than half what it was before I took office.The only president ever to cut the deficit by more than one trillion dollars in a single year.Lowering your costs also means demanding more competition.I’m a capitalist, but capitalism without competition isn’t capitalism.It’s exploitation—and it drives up prices.When corporations don’t have to compete, their profits go up, your prices go up, and small businesses and family farmers and ranchers go under.We see it happening with ocean carriers moving goods in and out of America.During the pandemic, these foreign-owned companies raised prices by as much as 1,000% and made record profits.Tonight, I’m announcing a crackdown on these companies overcharging American businesses and consumers.And as Wall Street firms take over more nursing homes, quality in those homes has gone down and costs have gone up.That ends on my watch.Medicare is going to set higher standards for nursing homes and make sure your loved ones get the care they deserve and expect.We’ll also cut costs and keep the economy going strong by giving workers a fair shot, provide more training and apprenticeships, hire them based on their skills not degrees.Let’s pass the Paycheck Fairness Act and paid leave.Raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and extend the Child Tax Credit, so no one has to raise a family in poverty.Let’s increase Pell Grants and increase our historic support of HBCUs, and invest in what Jill—our First Lady who teaches full-time—calls America’s best-kept secret: community colleges.And let’s pass the PRO Act when a majority of workers want to form a union—they shouldn’t be stopped.When we invest in our workers, when we build the economy from the bottom up and the middle out together, we can do something we haven’t done in a long time: build a better America.For more than two years, COVID-19 has impacted every decision in our lives and the life of the nation.And I know you’re tired, frustrated, and exhausted.But I also know this.Because of the progress we’ve made, because of your resilience and the tools we have, tonight I can saywe are moving forward safely, back to more normal routines.We’ve reached a new moment in the fight against COVID-19, with severe cases down to a level not seen since last July.Just a few days ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—the CDC—issued new mask guidelines.Under these new guidelines, most Americans in most of the country can now be mask free.And based on the projections, more of the country will reach that point across the next couple of weeks.Thanks to the progress we have made this past year, COVID-19 need no longer control our lives.I know some are talking about “living with COVID-19”. Tonight – I say that we will never just accept living with COVID-19.We will continue to combat the virus as we do other diseases. And because this is a virus that mutates and spreads, we will stay on guard.Here are four common sense steps as we move forward safely.First, stay protected with vaccines and treatments. We know how incredibly effective vaccines are. If you’re vaccinated and boosted you have the highest degree of protection.We will never give up on vaccinating more Americans. Now, I know parents with kids under 5 are eager to see a vaccine authorized for their children.The scientists are working hard to get that done and we’ll be ready with plenty of vaccines when they do.We’re also ready with anti-viral treatments. If you get COVID-19, the Pfizer pill reduces your chances of ending up in the hospital by 90%.We’ve ordered more of these pills than anyone in the world. And Pfizer is working overtime to get us 1 Million pills this month and more than double that next month.And we’re launching the “Test to Treat” initiative so people can get tested at a pharmacy, and if they’re positive, receive antiviral pills on the spot at no cost.If you’re immunocompromised or have some other vulnerability, we have treatments and free high-quality masks.We’re leaving no one behind or ignoring anyone’s needs as we move forward.And on testing, we have made hundreds of millions of tests available for you to order for free.Even if you already ordered free tests tonight, I am announcing that you can order more from covidtests.gov starting next week.Second – we must prepare for new variants. Over the past year, we’ve gotten much better at detecting new variants.If necessary, we’ll be able to deploy new vaccines within 100 days instead of many more months or years.And, if Congress provides the funds we need, we’ll have new stockpiles of tests, masks, and pills ready if needed.I cannot promise a new variant won’t come. But I can promise you we’ll do everything within our power to be ready if it does.Third – we can end the shutdown of schools and businesses. We have the tools we need.It’s time for Americans to get back to work and fill our great downtowns again.  People working from home can feel safe to begin to return to the office.We’re doing that here in the federal government. The vast majority of federal workers will once again work in person.Our schools are open. Let’s keep it that way. Our kids need to be in school.And with 75% of adult Americans fully vaccinated and hospitalizations down by 77%, most Americans can remove their masks, return to work, stay in the classroom, and move forward safely.We achieved this because we provided free vaccines, treatments, tests, and masks.Of course, continuing this costs money.I will soon send Congress a request.The vast majority of Americans have used these tools and may want to again, so I expect Congress to pass it quickly.Fourth, we will continue vaccinating the world.We’ve sent 475 Million vaccine doses to 112 countries, more than any other nation.And we won’t stop.We have lost so much to COVID-19. Time with one another. And worst of all, so much loss of life.Let’s use this moment to reset. Let’s stop looking at COVID-19 as a partisan dividing line and see it for what it is: A God-awful disease.Let’s stop seeing each other as enemies, and start seeing each other for who we really are: Fellow Americans.We can’t change how divided we’ve been. But we can change how we move forward—on COVID-19 and other issues we must face together.I recently visited the New York City Police Department days after the funerals of Officer Wilbert Mora and his partner, Officer Jason Rivera.They were responding to a 9-1-1 call when a man shot and killed them with a stolen gun.Officer Mora was 27 years old.Officer Rivera was 22.Both Dominican Americans who’d grown up on the same streets they later chose to patrol as police officers.I spoke with their families and told them that we are forever in debt for their sacrifice, and we will carry on their mission to restore the trust and safety every community deserves.I’ve worked on these issues a long time.I know what works: Investing in crime preventionand community police officers who’ll walk the beat, who’ll know the neighborhood, and who can restore trust and safety.So let’s not abandon our streets. Or choose between safety and equal justice.Let’s come together to protect our communities, restore trust, and hold law enforcement accountable.That’s why the Justice Department required body cameras, banned chokeholds, and restricted no-knock warrants for its officers.That’s why the American Rescue Plan provided $350 Billion that cities, states, and counties can use to hire more police and invest in proven strategies like community violence interruption—trusted messengers breaking the cycle of violence and trauma and giving young people hope.We should all agree: The answer is not to Defund the police. The answer is to FUND the police with the resources and training they need to protect our communities.I ask Democrats and Republicans alike: Pass my budget and keep our neighborhoods safe.And I will keep doing everything in my power to crack down on gun trafficking and ghost guns you can buy online and make at home—they have no serial numbers and can’t be traced.And I ask Congress to pass proven measures to reduce gun violence. Pass universal background checks. Why should anyone on a terrorist list be able to purchase a weapon?Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.Repeal the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry in America that can’t be sued.These laws don’t infringe on the Second Amendment. They save lives.The most fundamental right in America is the right to vote – and to have it counted. And it’s under assault.In state after state, new laws have been passed, not only to suppress the vote, but to subvert entire elections.We cannot let this happen.Tonight. I call on the Senate to: Pass the Freedom to Vote Act. Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. And while you’re at it, pass the Disclose Act so Americans can know who is funding our elections.Tonight, I’d like to honor someone who has dedicated his life to serve this country: Justice Stephen Breyer—an Army veteran, Constitutional scholar, and retiring Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Justice Breyer, thank you for your service.One of the most serious constitutional responsibilities a President has is nominating someone to serve on the United States Supreme Court.And I did that 4 days ago, when I nominated Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. One of our nation’s top legal minds, who will continue Justice Breyer’s legacy of excellence.A former top litigator in private practice. A former federal public defender. And from a family of public school educators and police officers. A consensus builder. Since she’s been nominated, she’s received a broad range of support—from the Fraternal Order of Police to former judges appointed by Democrats and Republicans.And if we are to advance liberty and justice, we need to secure the Border and fix the immigration system.We can do both. At our border, we’ve installed new technology like cutting-edge scanners to better detect drug smuggling.We’ve set up joint patrols with Mexico and Guatemala to catch more human traffickers.We’re putting in place dedicated immigration judges so families fleeing persecution and violence can have their cases heard faster.We’re securing commitments and supporting partners in South and Central America to host more refugees and secure their own borders.We can do all this while keeping lit the torch of liberty that has led generations of immigrants to this land—my forefathers and so many of yours.Provide a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, those on temporary status, farm workers, and essential workers.Revise our laws so businesses have the workers they need and families don’t wait decades to reunite.It’s not only the right thing to do—it’s the economically smart thing to do.That’s why immigration reform is supported by everyone from labor unions to religious leaders to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.Let’s get it done once and for all.Advancing liberty and justice also requires protecting the rights of women.The constitutional right affirmed in Roe v. Wade—standing precedent for half a century—is under attack as never before.If we want to go forward—not backward—we must protect access to health care. Preserve a woman’s right to choose. And let’s continue to advance maternal health care in America.And for our LGBTQ+ Americans, let’s finally get the bipartisan Equality Act to my desk. The onslaught of state laws targeting transgender Americans and their families is wrong.As I said last year, especially to our younger transgender Americans, I will always have your back as your President, so you can be yourself and reach your God-given potential.While it often appears that we never agree, that isn’t true. I signed 80 bipartisan bills into law last year. From preventing government shutdowns to protecting Asian-Americans from still-too-common hate crimes to reforming military justice.And soon, we’ll strengthen the Violence Against Women Act that I first wrote three decades ago. It is important for us to show the nation that we can come together and do big things.So tonight I’m offering a Unity Agenda for the Nation. Four big things we can do together.First, beat the opioid epidemic.There is so much we can do. Increase funding for prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery.Get rid of outdated rules that stop doctors from prescribing treatments. And stop the flow of illicit drugs by working with state and local law enforcement to go after traffickers.If you’re suffering from addiction, know you are not alone. I believe in recovery, and I celebrate the 23 million Americans in recovery.Second, let’s take on mental health. Especially among our children, whose lives and education have been turned upside down.The American Rescue Plan gave schools money to hire teachers and help students make up for lost learning.I urge every parent to make sure your school does just that. And we can all play a part—sign up to be a tutor or a mentor.Children were also struggling before the pandemic. Bullying, violence, trauma, and the harms of social media.As Frances Haugen, who is here with us tonight, has shown, we must hold social media platforms accountable for the national experiment they’re conducting on our children for profit.It’s time to strengthen privacy protections, ban targeted advertising to children, demand tech companies stop collecting personal data on our children.And let’s get all Americans the mental health services they need. More people they can turn to for help, and full parity between physical and mental health care.Third, support our veterans.Veterans are the best of us.I’ve always believed that we have a sacred obligation to equip all those we send to war and care for them and their families when they come home.My administration is providing assistance with job training and housing, and now helping lower-income veterans get VA care debt-free.Our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan faced many dangers.One was stationed at bases and breathing in toxic smoke from “burn pits” that incinerated wastes of war—medical and hazard material, jet fuel, and more.When they came home, many of the world’s fittest and best trained warriors were never the same.Headaches. Numbness. Dizziness.A cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin.I know.One of those soldiers was my son Major Beau Biden.We don’t know for sure if a burn pit was the cause of his brain cancer, or the diseases of so many of our troops.But I’m committed to finding out everything we can.Committed to military families like Danielle Robinson from Ohio.The widow of Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson.He was born a soldier. Army National Guard. Combat medic in Kosovo and Iraq.Stationed near Baghdad, just yards from burn pits the size of football fields.Heath’s widow Danielle is here with us tonight. They loved going to Ohio State football games. He loved building Legos with their daughter.But cancer from prolonged exposure to burn pits ravaged Heath’s lungs and body.Danielle says Heath was a fighter to the very end.He didn’t know how to stop fighting, and neither did she.Through her pain she found purpose to demand we do better.Tonight, Danielle—we are.The VA is pioneering new ways of linking toxic exposures to diseases, already helping more veterans get benefits.And tonight, I’m announcing we’re expanding eligibility to veterans suffering from nine respiratory cancers.I’m also calling on Congress: pass a law to make sure veterans devastated by toxic exposures in Iraq and Afghanistan finally get the benefits and comprehensive health care they deserve.And fourth, let’s end cancer as we know it.This is personal to me and Jill, to Kamala, and to so many of you.Cancer is the #2 cause of death in America–second only to heart disease.Last month, I announced our plan to superchargethe Cancer Moonshot that President Obama asked me to lead six years ago.Our goal is to cut the cancer death rate by at least 50% over the next 25 years, turn more cancers from death sentences into treatable diseases.More support for patients and families.To get there, I call on Congress to fund ARPA-H, the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health.It’s based on DARPA—the Defense Department project that led to the Internet, GPS, and so much more.ARPA-H will have a singular purpose—to drive breakthroughs in cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and more.A unity agenda for the nation.We can do this.My fellow Americans—tonight , we have gathered in a sacred space—the citadel of our democracy.In this Capitol, generation after generation, Americans have debated great questions amid great strife, and have done great things.We have fought for freedom, expanded liberty, defeated totalitarianism and terror.And built the strongest, freest, and most prosperous nation the world has ever known.Now is the hour.Our moment of responsibility.Our test of resolve and conscience, of history itself.It is in this moment that our character is formed. Our purpose is found. Our future is forged.Well I know this nation.We will meet the test.To protect freedom and liberty, to expand fairness and opportunity.We will save democracy.As hard as these times have been, I am more optimistic about America today than I have been my whole life.Because I see the future that is within our grasp.Because I know there is simply nothing beyond our capacity.We are the only nation on Earth that has always turned every crisis we have faced into an opportunity.The only nation that can be defined by a single word: possibilities.So on this night, in our 245th year as a nation, I have come to report on the State of the Union.And my report is this: the State of the Union is strong—because you, the American people, are strong.We are stronger today than we were a year ago.And we will be stronger a year from now than we are today.Now is our moment to meet and overcome the challenges of our time.And we will, as one people.One America.The United States of America.May God bless you all. May God protect our troops.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":68,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9019753604,"gmtCreate":1648646100480,"gmtModify":1676534370449,"author":{"id":"4088594279252790","authorId":"4088594279252790","name":"RoosterCK","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/95d82027a8a87481178ec45908742b11","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088594279252790","authorIdStr":"4088594279252790"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Without

Whether we’re talking about the futuristic products under development like the Apple Car or mixed-reality (AR/VR) headset, or efforts to beef up its services business, it’s clear that Apple stock has a lot going for it these days.Apple’s electric (potentially autonomous) car and virtual- or mixed-reality goggles are potential game-changers and AAPL stock needle-movers. Still, such projects are clouded in a haze of secrecy and uncertainty.Sure, you can go by the rumors or reports by accurate analysts on Wall Street, but the timeline and accuracy are a question mark when conducting a valuation.Apple’s Services Push Could Bring Forth Even More Multiple ExpansionThere’s been a lot of praise for Apple’s services push over the years. The stock has been rewarded with a great deal of multiple expansion as a result. With Apple TV+, Apple News, Apple Music, iCloud+, Apple Fitness, and a wide range of other intriguing service products, the company has improved its value proposition for its users while improving the firm’s “quality” of earnings.Indeed, hardware companies deserve a discount, but after such a phenomenal services push, a strong case could be made that Apple is no longer worthy of such a historical discount. It’s not just an iPhone maker anymore; it’s all about bringing out the best hardware, software, and services in one special package.Following the inclusion of Apple Fitness+ to its services arsenal, not a whole lot has happened. Could it be that Apple has hit the ceiling in its services push?Following big news that the company is getting into hardware subscriptions, it’s arguable that Apple’s most defining service has yet to launch. Apart from a potential Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS) offering, Apple has a lot of other disruptive and innovative services that could challenge peers across different market verticals.The cutting-edge Apple Card, the new business-focused device-management service “Apple Business Essentials,” and the introduction of the point-of-sale feature “Apple Tap to Pay” are all initiatives that could take Apple’s service revenue stream to the next level.On Wednesday, more light was also shed on the company’s push into financial services, bringing pressure to fintech stocks like Block (SQ), which got pummelled by nearly 5% on the day.Hardware Subscription and In-Housing of Payment Tech Could Boost Apple’s MarginsWith a hardware subscription service and the plan to in-house payment-processing tech, Apple could cut out the middlemen in payments. Doing such would give Apple’s operating margins a nice bump.Such a margin boost, plus the “ironing out” of the bumpy multi-year iPhone cycles with its hardware subscription service, could also pave the way for a considerable amount of appreciation for Apple stock.Indeed, hardware subscription services are perplexingly new to many. However, if there’s a company to bring forth a new way of doing things, it’s Apple. Given such margin- and valuation-multiple-driving service initiatives, a strong case could be made that shares of AAPL ought to be trading at well over 30 times earnings.At writing, Apple stock goes for $176 and change per share, putting the trailing price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple at 29.4.Following the exciting news concerning Apple’s HaaS and financial tech service push, I think Apple stock is still way too cheap to ignore, and that’s not even considering the potential behind next-generation products that could steadily flow out of the pipeline over the next five years.For these reasons, I remain as bullish as ever on shares of Apple, even as they approach new highs.Wall Street’s TakeTurning to Wall Street, AAPL stock comes in as a Strong Buy. Out of 28 analyst ratings, there are 23 Buy recommendations and five Hold recommendations.The average Apple price target is $193.36, implying 9.6% upside potential. Analyst price targets range from a low of $161.00 per share to a high of $215.00 per share.Could Recent News Induce More Analyst Price Target Hikes?As noted above, the consensus price target implies just 9.6% in upside for the year ahead. Still, I do think recent developments could pave the way for a wave of upgrades within the sell-side analyst community. Despite the below-average implied upside, the stock still sports its Strong Buy rating—good news for the bulls who’ve stuck by the name.Recent margin-enhancing initiatives could have an even more material impact on shares. Over the coming weeks, we’ll wait and see how recent innovations will be reflected in the financial models of the many analysts covering the name.The Bottom Line on Apple StockIt’s so hard not to love shares of Apple, as it kicks its services business into high gear while working on the next game-changing device. The hardware service offering may take some time to get used to. It’s an innovative, intriguing concept. Nonetheless, in due time, I think that any success with the model could be highly accretive to the quality of earnings.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":420,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9013683671,"gmtCreate":1648719311731,"gmtModify":1676534385578,"author":{"id":"4088594279252790","authorId":"4088594279252790","name":"RoosterCK","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/95d82027a8a87481178ec45908742b11","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088594279252790","authorIdStr":"4088594279252790"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a
