Guess what . We cut the deficit. Cut the deficit 1 trillion last guide ballooned the deficit we passed a budget deal that will cut another trillion dollars over the next decade. I kept trying to get out of it, but they finally agreed and now its my goal to cut the federal deficit by 3 billion more 3trillion, more by making Big Corporations, the very wealthy.

We cut the deficit and we added more to the National Debt than any president in his term. And all of history. And under donald trump, hes guys talk about, oh too many corporations raise their prices and pad their profits charging you more and more for less and less thats what were cracking down on corporation is engaged in Price Gouging and deceptive pricing looks Like Companies that you wouldnt notice. They thought you would notice, but, you know, if you give me the same size bag of chips about 20 fewer chips. Now otherwise not a joke. Somebody may seem there was a tv thing on how Snickers Bars same exact price was. I dont hold me the exact number, like 20 less barr im serious Congress Needs assad, bobby casey, hes built a stop strength place these are a family i grew up and these are Kitchen Table issues. Im also getting junk fees, those hidden fees added at the end of your bills without your knowledge minors as you just announced, were cutting credit card late fees from 32 to 1 by the way im not doing an arbitrary of the law says they can charge for life for what a cost them, the collective. It does not cost anywhere near 32, but they make over time, over that period billions of dollars literally its done me. You got 450,000 people paid. Those late fees they charge this over, they end up paying over 2 billion the banks and Credit Card Companies dont like it why im saving American Families 20 billion a year with those junk fees by aluminum 20 billion by the way i grew up. I grew up in scranton and claymont, delaware. There are two places i grew up.

This is not a were not making this stuff up in 2020 15, you might remember this is a big fight i had with the republicans in 20 2055, the largest corporations in america made 40 billion in profit and paid zero in federal taxes well, i was determined to change that guess what . Not anymore thanks to the law i wrote and signed Big Companies now have to pay a minimum of 15 its only 15 . So less than Working People pay in federal taxes. This time, were going to raise the minimum tax the corporation, at least 21 so every billion Dollar Corporation fight against the pay their fair share. And look, i want to end tax breaks for big pharma, big Oil Corporate jets, massive executive pay that gets deducted.

A sanitation worker, a nurse thats why i proposed not the highest fact, the minimum tax, a 25 for billionaires, just 25 guess what . Now how much money that would raise over the next ten years . 500 billion imagine what that could do for a for our future. It could cut the deficit, could provide for child care, can find happiness so much that we need to do and not raise the deficit lets invest in less, continue to invest in the future by confronting Climate Crisis, not denying it. I dont know since ive been president , ive gone with with all the folks in my administration ive flown over those wildfires out west and northwest and southwest literally, the helicopter, all of them and guess what is burned down more timber, more housing, and comprises the end scott tyre, state of maryland were taking the, most significant action to climate ever in History Of The World i said i couldnt get past weve got 369 pass for climate still cut the deficit american save, america is safer today when i took office, year before i took office, murder, rachael went up to 30 nationwide. The biggest increase in American History under the last guy now through the American Rescue plan whichever republican voted against, i might add ive made the largest investment of Public Safety ever last year. Further rate saw the sharpest decrease in history. Violent crime lead fell to one of the lowest levels more than in more than 50 years. Im ramping up federal enforcement to vows for violence against women act, which i proudly wrote. So we can finally end the scourge of violence these guys for taking away guns from domestic abusers. I mean, i dont know where that we beat the nra when i proposed and signed most significant Gun Safety Law in 30 years now we have to beat nra again. Im demanding a ban on Assault Weapons and highcapacity magazine i didnt want pass universal background checks the immunity that protects Gun Manufacturers. They look a badge and if if tobacco had the same limitations. Companies that Gun Manufacturers, the only Major Corporation in america, industry in america, you cannot sue is Gun Manufacturers think about that. Magen had that been the case with tobacco . How many more people be dying of cancer . Look, theres a lot more to say, but im keeping a standard too long. I know i was watching on Television Last night about two in the morning after he got back to the house House The White house still think of hard to think it was his home i tv on fox news commentators saying you know, biden is changi from trickledown economics to build from the middleout, the bottomup going to ruin america ruin america had the strongest economy in the world right now like i said like i said i mean, it sincerely, i believe that my whole career finally got it done if we focus on the middleclass first of all, first of all, there are the Heart And Soul and sinew of the country if you focus on them and give me an even chance, the poor have a way up and the wealthy still do very, very well still do very well. As i said, im a capitalist but capitalism, when it turns to gauged in on cotton, noncompetition it ends up being just stealing but let me closes this i know youre thinking that i could have been around very long when you get to be my age, certain things become clear than ever before. I know the american story ive seen it again and again in contest between competing forces, the battle for the soul of this nation. Semi may remember when i ran in 2020, i got criticized by the press for santa is running for three reasons. Wanted to restore the soul of america to, to build the middleclass. So we can begin to grow again. Everybody have an even chance and three, United Country theres still my goals are still my goals all the countries who we are did you ever think those you are over 40 . Did you ever think wed been a situation . Where we talk each other like three days why you see things that we see that no matter how tense things where theyre really tough, in other parts of our history we arrived down the street and there was a trump banner with the fu on it and a little at a sixyearold kid put an app as Middle Finger did you ever sit no, im serious. Did you ever think youd hear people talk the way they do look at domains, it, the means who we are thats not who will bear if thats not america. Those between those of us who want to pull america back to past and those who want to move it into the future my lifetime has taught me to embrace the future. I mean, it sincerely freedom, democracy, future based on the core values that have defined america honesty, decency fairness, equality, just treating people for this fairly. No, i really mean that we dont always live up, but that thats the american creed. Donald trump sees the story differently. He sees a story of resentment, revenge, retribution ive been working like hell unite europe, nato and make sure ukraine doesnt get crushed by this dictator in russia fact is that you have a freshman who literally is invited food to do it at once was hell, it wants to come into ukraine he thinks putin is a strong, basically easy, decent guy you know who hes meeting with today. And down to maralago or ban a hungry whose stated flatly he doesnt think democracy works. Shes looking for dictatorship only member of nato thats why hes meeting with i see a future where we defend democracy, not diminish defend our freedom, not taken away. I see if you through the middle class has a fair shot and the wealthy pay their fair share the planet boot from the Climate Crisis in our country away from gun violence, we have so much i see a Future America remains a beacon of the world ive been doing Foreign Policy since i was a kid, the i was chairman of Foreign Relations committee and ive gone now i spent over almost 200 hours with the leaders of europe, the heads of state. I know them all. Ive known them well and guess what know what everyone im says to me virtually except or ban im serious as we leave these meetings. Well, indirectly, they grabbed my arm and i pulled my side. Im serious it pulled me aside and say youve gotten it. He cant win again. Because my demak beam either country, my democracy is at stake my above all i see a country for all americans a future for all americans, a presidency for all americans because i believe in america, i believe in you, the american people. We just have to remember who and how we are. Where the United States of america and beyond our capacity. If we do it together thank you. Thank you. Thank you for taking the time weve been. Listening to President Biden, pennsylvania kicking off the tour of key Battleground States only hours after his fiery state of the Union Address last night im wolf blitzer in the Situation Room. We want to welcome our viewers here in the United States and Around The World. Want to go straight to our senior white house correspondent, mj lee. Shes on the scene for us in welling for pennsylvania. Thats outside of philadelphia, mj. The president is working to build on the momentum he appears to have gotten from his speech Last Night Set the scene for us. This is just the start, right thats right. Wolf. We just saw the president s postState Of The Union tour officially get underway. Both the president and the first lady weve heard echoing some of the themes and issues everything right. And costs for everyday americans. But unlike last night, wolpe was really interesting President Biden, referring to his predecessor, but this time multiple times by name, using very stark language. Last night report many of the president s supporters basically saying that they saw a version of President Biden, that they had badly wanted to see me solve the bigger they sought clarity. They saw energy and they are now hoping that President Biden can take all of that replicated as you traveled the country now to that end, we know from the campaign, but the president is going to be doing korea travel in the coming days probably could face like georgia and new hampshire, wisconsin and michigan. And were also going to see the campaign beefing up its operations even more, Opening New Office is launching a new ad campaign at basically everything that we see the campaign do from this point onward is going to be with an eye towards november and with donald trump in mind, as we clear we saw from the presidency, just now on this case, now, just one month thing that i do want to know from where we are here in the suburbs of philadelphia. Were seeing every day will find that the issue of the israelhamas war continues to be a big political complication for this president as we were coming into this gymnasium we spoke with the protests where he said that she is here because you want to call on the president to back a permanent ceasefire. Now of course, as you know, the president so far only called for a temporary ceasefire when we saw him telling reporters just moments ago that he is not hopeful that a deal can be struck on that front by the time that ramadan route around this weekend, while order mj lee on the scene for us and pennsylvania. Thank you, mj very much. I want to bring in our cnn political commentator Scott Jennings and karen finney along with Biden Biographer evan osnos, whos here with me in the Situation Room right now. So what do you think kevin, you know, President Biden, youve written a terrific biography. You recently spent some time with him the oval office wird article, you wrote an article in the New Yorker Magazine is his best as he believed his message is resonating right now. Yeah. I think youre starting to see the outlines of what the message is going to be. We heard some of that last night, and just now, were seeing what is going to be really the thrust of this in the very foreground, there is going to be talk of a board russian every day. There is a real feeling and the white house that they know this resonates with people theyre very concerned about losing that access to and losing there a right that has been established for 50 years. The threat to democracy. And then also these daytoday issues, things like Price Gouging, things like junk fees. I know it can seem like these are two very different kinds of problems. They see them as generational challenges. On the one hand, and then real practical daytoday issues. You put these things together and its important to add, you make a joke or two about your age, you invoke it as a sign of wisdom, as i remember when we were more decent to each other in public life thats a formula were going to hear a lot over the next few. What do you think about the fact that last night he really went after trump, but he didnt refer to him by name. The only referred to him as my predecessor, but today it was trump. Trump. Trump. Yeah. I think last night it was bidens night, of course, it isnt official speech was a heavy political element, but he was there to talk about what it means to be the president United States. This was a Campaign Rally areas out on the road. Hes talking about the man he is going to be running against, not the man who he replaced and drove out of office the last time. So interesting i stand by karen finney. It seems to me, based on what im hearing from a bunch of democrats out there, they were pretty pleased by what the president did last night. I think theyre going to be pleased by what he just did now in pennsylvania, what are you hearing . Absolutely. I did some checking in today with particularly some the groups, the outside groups that are supporting the campaign. And they were very pleased and it wasnt a big win. And you can imagine folks need a win. I mean, in a campaign you need to feel like you are clear about why youre doing it, your support, your guide, your guys out there fighting, and youre fighting for him particularly they were pleased we saw in dial groups overnight, some of the internals showed independents, democrats, and republicans really resonating, particularly with his economic message. They also obviously modern campaigns youve got to be in the Digital Space and so different clips they were testing from this speech
