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

god bless america. that is why i am running here for congress in florida's seventh district, to take back our country. inc. you very much. [applause] ♪ >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome former governor of missouri, eric brighton. [applause] ♪ >> good afternoon, patriots. [applause] we have a mission. in the mission is to take our country back. we are here to do it. [applause] when i served as a navy seal and i took an oath to defend our constitution, it was an oath to protect the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. [applause] right now, despite the mainstream media lies, and cowardice and corruption, you know, we know, and we see the true nature of the enemy that we are facing and the brutal fact is clear. the left is actively trying to destroy our country. we know the truth. let the word go forth this afternoon, from all of you who are standing here, that we are going to stand for our country and we are ready to fight for it. [applause] i have been down to the border. not

we are building them in america. that is not only great for manufacturing. it is great for costs. one third of all of the inflation in america last year was the consequence of automobiles not having access to computer chips to be able to build their automobiles. were going to make them again in america. here is one way to help families reduce their monthly cost as well, by the way. at a time when food and gas prices are rising, if you can lower other major costs for families, you cannot -- you can help their standard of living. let's give medicare the power to negotiate lower prescription drugs. [applause] pres. biden: it costs $10 for a pharmaceutical company to make insulin for those suffering from a serious problem, that if they don't get the insulin, type one diabetes. look folks. do know how much people pay now? some of you do know because you struggle with it. they pay an average of $647,000 -- six or $47 a month, as high as $1000 ducks -- $647 a month, as high as $1000 for some. worrying about the health of yo

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

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

america first is not mean america isolated to stay at home. america first meant america leading. biden smart ways, not stupid once getting results and getting out. totally different from the neocon i die out one —- ideology to remake the world according to a master plan with the washington dc think tank. that's not what we are talking about ukraine and russia. this is about confronting aggression. we can see what happens when we don't confront crime. we get more crime if we react to putin seeing it from the criminal point of view into go easy on them it is hopeless it just incentivizes more violence. and some people might say that is true if we stay out of the war and encourage a peace deal were preaching gets what he wants maybe then he would be incentivized to it invade another country if it's not america why should we care quick. >> because at that point it is a completely lawless world where real regimes do whatever they want especially with nuclear weapons. which obviously more come one —- countries will try to get to join in the black male. that is bad for america just

they keep moving than the cost, the threats to the america and america to the world keeps rising. that's why the nato alliance was created to secure pieces debility in europe after world war 2. the united states as a member, along with 29 other nations. it matters. american diplomacy matters. american resolve matters. foods led his attack on ukraine was premeditated and totally unprovoked. he rejected, repeated repeated efforts at diplomacy. he thought the western nato wouldn't respond. he thought i could divide us at home in this chamber in this nation. he thought he could divide us in europe as well, but to it was wrong. we are ready, we are united, and that's what we did. we stayed united. we prepared extensively and carefully. we spent months building coalitions of other freedom, loving nations in europe. and the americans tit for america to the asian and african continents. to confront putin, like many of you, i spent countless hours unifying your european allies. we shared with the world in advance. what we knew put was planning, and precisely how we would try to falsify and

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

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

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

does spirit of america help civilians in america, and if so, how? guest: absolutely. we're doing three things. one of which is helping the ukrainian soldiers and civilian volunteers who are part of what's called the territorial defense forces, with the kind of nonlethal assistance that i mentioned. the second thing is we're helping humanitarian organizations that are doing tremendous work inside ukraine. so what they'll be getting this week is the same kind of protective equipment that we're providing to the ukrainian soldiers and civilian volunteers. because they are as much of a target of russia as the ukrainian military is. so they are getting the same kind of things in terms of first aid kits, body armor and helmets. the third thing that we're doing is providing support for refugees. our focus in that is in moldova, which is a smaller, less well known country, but which is receiving a great influx of refugees, and they're also a poorer country, so they need the assistance that we're able to provide there. we're doing that in coordination with the u.s. embassy in m

[laughter] america is so great, america is so great people who hate it t refused to leave it. now listen to me on this one. i believe that republicans are not perfect. i believe that republicans are not perfect but the other side is crazy. [laughter] and i also believe in what we accomplished when republicans controlled the house, and controlled the senate's, and president trump was our president. [cheering] i want you to think about it, just for ain minute. in four years, and four years this is what we did. we cut taxes, we increased wages, we delivered 3.5% unemployment. we had the lowest unemployment rate in the history of this wonderful country for hispanic americans and african-americans. we create 8 million new jobs pre-covid. we deregulated the economy. the controlled inflation we secured the border, we secured our streets lead beat back isis we strengthened the military we strength we stood up against russia and iran and we confirmed 234 conservative federal judges including three new members of the united states supreme court. and by god, we can do it again. [cheering

so the america competes act is an important part of that agenda. and it's something that i think we'll be able to get over the legislative finish line. as pete indicated, you are going to hear our colleagues talk about unleashing the potential for america. where were they when president biden and democrats in the house and the senate were passing the american rescue plan to lay the foundation to help rescue and save the economy and create 7.4 million good-paying jobs? where were they when president biden put in place a series of policies to create the fastest rate of economic growth in 40 years? where were my republican colleagues when it relates to the efforts that were under way led by president biden to lower unemployment to prepandemic levels of 3.8%? they were missing in action. that's the answer. so the notion that they want to now come here and lecture us when vladimir putin is the one responsible if gas prices america. where were they when president biden and democrats in the house and the senate were passing the american rescue plan to lay

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

but a strong america abroad depends on a strong america at home, and that in turn depends on a strong republican party. two presidents helped make me a republican. growing up on a small farm in arkansas, the first, unsurprisingly, was bill clinton. but the second was ronald reagan, the first president i can remember. i was too young to follow the political dramas of reagan's presidency, but i recall the feelings he inspired in my young mind, confident and safe from the russian threat, comforted after the challenger disaster, proud of america, and optimistic about our future. but reagan's greatness went beyond the feelings he inspired. many people talk about presidenf reagan's optimism, but he wasn't simply an optimistic person; rather, he helped build a nation that had good reason to be optimistic. no doubt the smile and hollywoop charm helped, but it was his ideas, his patriotism, and his unerring strength that revitalized the american dream. ronald reagan understood what every officeholder must remember, we are elected first and foremost to protect the american people, their prosper

make it in america. for this, increasing the productive capacity of our company or our economy. i call it building a better america. my plan to fight inflation will lower your cost to lower the deficit. 17 nobel laureates and economics said my plan will ease long term inflationary pressures. top business leaders and i believe most americans support to plan. and here's the plan. first, cut the cost of prescription drugs we pay more for the same news by the same company than any other country in the world. just look at insulin, one in 10 americans as diabetes in virginia, i met a 13 year old boy, the handsome young man standing up there. joshua day he's dead won't have type one diabetes. which means they need it every single day. is gonna cost about $10.00 of vile to make that's what of course the, the pharmaceutical company. but drug companies charged families like josh won his dad to 30 times that amount. i spoke to josh was mom. imagine what it's like to look at your child who needs insulin to stay heal

you know, being america's heart it's always been hard. because america is not normal. only today what i mean by that here is what is normal. almost every person that's ever lived on earth that has no freedom. hundreds of billions of people whatever have lived throughout time in recorded human history go back and look at almost anyone who's ever walked the overwhelming majority of people that have ever lived, lived anyplace they did not get to pick their leaders. he did not have any rights the rights whatever their leaders allow them to have that is held most people have lived. this phenomena what we call democracy and a republic and liberty is a modern phenomenon. the american revolution but was revolutionary about it has the audacious idea your rights come from god not from a government, not from leaders. [cheering] so being america's hard. because being america's unusual compared to human history. you know, or the fascinating things human beings live very differently in terms of technology how you dress how you communicate. nothing looks like it did 1000 years ago ex

america. over the last few years, i have put my faith in iowans and they haven't let me down. i encourage this president to do the same, to put his faith in you, the american people, who have never wavered annual belief in this country regardless of who leads it, because you know, you have shown that the soul of america isn't about who lives in the white house, it is men and women like you in every corner of this nation who are willing to step up and take responsibility for your communities, neighbors and ultimately for yourself by that most important measure at least. the state of our union is indeed strong. thank you. god bless you and god bless the united states of america. >> c-sd view of government. we are funded by these television companies and more, including cox. >> cox is committed to providing families access to affordable internet. bridging the digital divide. >> cox supports c-span as a public service along with these other television providers giving you a front-row seat to democ

america first now. and america first forever. with that, madam speaker. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from minnesota, ms. omar, for five minutes. ms. omar: madam speaker, i rise today in solidarity with the ukrainian people who are facing a cruel and inhumane war of aggression from a tyrant, vladimir putin. i also stand in solidarity with my ukrainian american constituents whose friends and families are in harm's way. we must address this war with courage, foresight, and humility. i am appalled by the extraordinary cruelty of putin's war. i am also moved by the courage of the ukrainians and also by the courage of the anti-war protestors in russia risking 15 years in prison for speaking out against putin's aggression. we must stand unified with the ukrainian people. but even as we stand with the ukrainian people, we must avoid the knee-jerk calls to make this conflict even worse. one thing we should have learned throughout our history is that policy decisions we make simply based on fear or rage rarely end well. increasingly

today we discuss america's inner and outer wars with professor the keel. paul, thing up to the 960 is the united states isn't even really a liberal democracy. it becomes a formal liberal democracy in 1965. and in 1965, you get the civil rights act and the voting rights act. and, and there, those are also tied to the war on poverty. and those 3 elements suggest that the united states is going to become a place of inclusive citizenship and shared outflow. or at least the general prosperity is going to be distributed in a way that does not exclude group differentiated population. and that's really the promise at the moment that that and now rhetorically appears in the law. and to some extent become something that animates public policy. it's abandoned in the internal violence in the united states, militarized police, and the largest prison system in the world. along with america's endemic racism are mirrored in the foreign wars that have been fought almost continuously by the united states. since the end of the 19th century, these inner and outer wars argues

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

and make it in america. but it's up to us to follow the plan. >> i know the president has dried with the build back better and it doesn't seem to be bipartisan or a willingness. and with those who are out of jobs and needed money. the food was that. and in fact it lifted them up at a time they cannot get the help that they needed from their own community. a lot of money but not money wasted. and so that says to me. it may take a little bit longer this time. but i believe we can do it. >> and we can build a better america. >> in terms of money and in on —- asking congress for many. and where does the money come from? >> first the ukrainian people have demonstrated they have the will to set up to goliath. and that is not only to those in ukraine but around the world. that's what we have not seen in a long time. so we know they deserve it for those who may or may not deserve it. they demonstrated they deserve it. it comes from us. it always comes from us. and whenever there is trouble when will they arrive? w

most on the terror watch list have found a way to enter america. more importantly those we do not have entered. inflation we have not seen more than 40 years. crime running rampant throughout america based upon a democratic policy of defunding the police in electing das who believe and not upholding the law. we cannot sit around and wait for this administration told us they would send the covid test you, just get online people waited two and three months. that same thing cannot happen to ukraine we are supposed to send them weapons. every single american wakes up every morning to see if president zelensky survived another night. they will not be able to survive another night if we do not supply them with weapons. they are not asking for american men and women tore fight. they are just asking to have some supplies so they can at least have a fair fight. america has a long history of standing with those who believe her freedom. we need to keep the responsibility that we have led oncewi again. with that i will answer questions. >> a few questions if i

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

nowhere else on the globe is america's dream attached to its name. there's no german dream, no french dream, no polish dream, but damn it, there's an american dream. and too many people are living in the nightmare on this day, my colleagues across the people, let's make sure that alarm clocks ring throughout our communities and allow everyone to enjoy this beauty we call the american dream. i appreciate you, love you, and i thank you. >> thank you so much, mr. mayor. the next person we welcome to the stage is a long-time supporter of america's mayor, many things i could thank our guest for, but let me just say this, $65.1 billion for all american cities. this is like go daddy, it bears repeating, $65.1 billion for all cities to help with american economic recovery and covid relief. it is an indisputable fact that this historic aid to cities would not have been possible without her leadership. when the cares act was approved in 2020, it only directly funded cities of 500,000 population or above. we knew that was not even close to good enough and our n

as one people, one america. the united states of america. god bless you all, and may god protect our troops. thank you. go get them. >> okay. the speech was about an hour and 2 minutes give or take. president biden giving his first day of the union address. there's a lot of talk this week that may be would have to rip up the speech, rewrite it if and what was happening, that the west wing would be pouring over rewrites. earthquake changes that have happened. vladimir putin invading ukraine. using cluster bombs, threatening to use nuclear weapons. might have merited a significant rewrite, shift in the speech. the purpose of tonight's speech and focus on foreign policy. but it really did feel as though there was sort of a piece of the speech that was put at the top and then it launched into the speech that had probably been written over the last several weeks and probably a month. so he did say the reader that our forces would not engage with russia and that was pretty much off to the races with build back better and lower health care costs. p
