Force . Yes. What is that opinion . That it would. Why is that . At the time of the restraint period mr. Floyd was not resisting. He was in a prone position. He was handcuffed. He was not attempting to evade. He was not attempting to resist, and the pressure that he was that was being caused by the body weight could caught positional asphyxia, which would cause test. Josh campbell is live outside that courthouse. There was quite a bit of crossexamination on this westbound. Reporter i apologize. Theres an alarm going or nearby the courthouse. The key witness is that lapd Expert Witness. If you think about it, the jury are not for the most part experts in Law Enforcement. Its up to prosecutors and the defense to bring in experts to try to explain what it means. And what were hearing from this use of force, is that the force that Derek Chauvin used against george floyd constituted deadly force and was inappropriate. He said one his was on the ground, handcuffed, in that up there was no force necessary. Weve been getting reactions from inside. Our reporter saying the jury was taking copious notes paying attention to this witness. The defense will have later on to bring in their own experts, but for his part today, very powerful testimony. One of the things that the defense tried to do which is what we noticed here is all these hypotheticals josh, hang on a second. I need po make sure youre okay. Forgive me for being that person, but im going to take you off tv, make sure youre okay, whatever is going to i promise well bring you back. Right . Josh campbell standing by there. Lets go to cedric alexander, without fire alarms going off behind you. Lets just begin with the testimony, the crossexam, the line of question ing what do yo make it . The whole idea is to create some doubt, but youre looking at a very young lieutenant, who is very seasoned, an lapd officer who has relayed himself very well and able to clarify any question given to him by either side. So this case will continue to evolve, when it could versus applied, when it should not have been applied, but the real key here, as we move forward, its going to be the science that is going to become very, very interesting when we start hearing from pathologists. The medical, yeah. The medical examiners, et cetera. Thats when it would become very, very interesting in this case. Which is presumably the next phase of witnesses, but elie, just staying on these useofforce experts, how effective has it been . So much strategy is about focus. We saw that battle playing out today. The prosecution with this Expert Witness had his almost complete focus on that crucial 9 minutes, 29 seconds. When the crossexamination happened they were trying to put it anywhere else but that 9 29, and break it into small pieces elie, forgive me. Lets go to president biden. Had. Last week in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, i announced my plan to rebuild what i believe the backbone of america, through the american jobs plan. Its not a plan that tankers around the edges. Its a once in a Generation Investment in america. Only since we built the enter state and won the space race decades ago. Its the single largest investment in american jobs since world war ii. Its a plan that puts millions of americans to work to fix whats broken in this country. Tens of thousands of miles of roads and highways, thousands of bridges in desperate need of repair, but also a blueprint for infrastructure needed for tomorrow. Not just yesterday, tomorrow. For american jobs, for american competitiveness. Last week i said that once congress is back from recess, i get to work right away, because we have no time to lose. So here we are. Democrats and republicans will have ideas about what they like and dont like. Thats a good thing. Thats the way democracy works, debate is welcome, compromise is inevitable, changes are certain. In the next few weeks, the Vice President and i will be meeting with republicans and democrats to hear from everyone. Well be listening, well be open to good ideas and goodfaith negotiations, but heres what we wont be open to. We will not be open to doing nothing. Inaction simply is not an option now, since i announced this plan, ive heard from my republican friends say that many of them say its too big. They say why not focus on traditional infrastructure . For example what weve already got, the roa roads and the highways that exist and the bridges. Im happy to have that debate, but i will tell you my view we dont just fix for today. We build for tomorrow. 200 years ago, trains werent traditional infrastructure, either, until america made a choice to lay down tracks across the country. Highways werent traditional infrastructure until we allowed ourselves to imagine that roads could connect or nation across state lines. The idea of infrastructure has always evolved to meet the aspirations of the American People and their needs. And its evolving again today. We need to start see infrastructures through its effect on the lives of working people in america. What is the foundation today that they need to carve out their place in the middle class to make it . To live . To go to work . To raise their families with dignity . To ensure good jobs will be there for their kids, no matter who they are or what zip codes they live in . Thats what infrastructure means in the 21st century. It still depends on roads and bridges, ports and airports, rails and masses transit, but it also depends on reliability highspeed internet in homes, because it is todays infrastructure. It depends on the electric grid, a grid that wont collapse in a winter storm or be compromised by hackers, at home or abroad. It depends on investing in made in america goods from every american community, including those that have historically been left out. Black, latino, rural communities. Talk to folks ash the country about what makes up a Good Foundation ask a teacher or childcare worker, of having clean Drinking Water in our schools and Childcare Centers is part of that foundation, when we know the lead in our pipes slows a childs development when they drink that water. Ask the entrepreneur whose Small Business is destroyed by the second 100year flood in the last ten years in iowa. Or wildfires in the west that burned 5 million acres last year, an area roughly the size of the entire state of new jersey. More fires than ever. Or the devastating damages seen more frequent and more intense hurricanes and storms on the east and gulf coasts. Ask all those farmers and Small Business owners and homeowners whether investing in clean energy to fight the effects of Climate Change is part of infrastructure. Ask folks in Rural America where more than 35 of the people lack a reliability highspeed internet, limiting their ability to conduct business or engage in remote learning. For the schools, ask them whether internet will lead to new jobs, better opportunities for their kids. Im serious about this. Ask the moms and dad in the sandwich generation, the folks carrying enormous financial strains trying to raise their children and care for their elderly parents or members of th their family with disabilities. Ask them what infrastructure they need to build a better life, breathe a bit. Expanded services for senior citizens, home care workers that can cook them a meal, allowing them to stay in their homes, and i might add, saving med case hundreds of millions in the process. Better wages and benefits and opportunities for caregivers who are disproportionately women, women of color and immigrants. Or ask our Wounded Warriors and military families, to my republican colleagues in congress, shouldnt we modernize v. A. Hospitals . Update them . Many of them are more than 50 years old. How about the estimated 450,000 post9 11 veterans with post Traumatic Stress disorder, when they make that emergency call to the v. A. Hospital, dad needs help, we have to bring him in and they hear, you have to wait. We dont have room now. Come back. Call some he back in 8 days, 10 days, 12 days. And people getting shot. Is it really your position, my friends that our veterans dont deserve the most modern facilities . So we can catch that cancer diagnosis better . Access to better roads, cleaner water, highspeed enter net that delivers information faster and more of it . Infrastructure is about meeting the needs of a nation and putting americans to work and being ability to do and get paid for having good jobs. Plumbers and pipefitters. Replacing the literal thousands of miles of dangerous lead pipes. Theyre still out there. Everybody remembers what happened this flint. Theres hundreds of flints all across america. How many of you know, when you send your child to school the founding theyre drinking out of is not fed by lead pipe . How many of you know the school your child is in still has asbestos in the walls and lacks ventilation . Isnt that not infrastructure . Line workers and electricians, laying transmission lines for modern grids. Friday, over 500,000 charging stations on the highways we are going to build to accommodate electric vehicles, so we can own the future. Construction workers and engineers building modern hospitals and homes for american families. Healthcare workers, steel workers, folks who work in the cuttingedge labs. Nearly 90 of the infrastructure jobs created by can be filled by people who dont have a college degree. 75 dont need an associates degree. As i said last week this is a blue collar blueprint for increasing opportunity for the American People. It also includes the biggest investment in nondefense Research Development on record. I promise you, its not part of my speech, but i promise you, youre all going to be reporting over the next six to eight months how decline and the rest of the world is racing ahead of us and the investments they have in the future, attempting to own the future, the technology, quantum computing, investing significant amounts of money in dealing with cancer, alzheimers. Thats infrastructure of a na nation. Theres a new book out how we have fallen behind, america is no longer the leader of the world, because were not investing. It used to be we invested almost 2. 7 of our gdp. And now its about 0. 7 . When we were investing it, we were the leader in the world. I dont know why we dont get this. One of the only few Major Economies in the world whose Public Investment in research and development has declined as a percentage of gdp in the last 25 years. Declined. The United States of america. That led the world. Why does this matter . Investing in research and Development Helped lead the lithium batteries, l. E. D. Technology, the internet itself. It helped lead the vaccine breakthroughs that are helping us beat covid19. To the human genome project which has led to breakthroughs how we understand and fight cancer and other diseases. Government, meaning the taxpayers, funded this research. Gove government. When we stop investing in research, we stop investing in the jobs of the future, and we give up leading the world. When we do invest in research, what were really doing is raising the bar on what we can imagine. Imagine a world where you and your family can travel coast to coast without a single tank of gas or in a highspeed train close to as fast as you can going across the country. Imagine your children growing up to work in enoy investigation, good paying jobs in fields that havent even been invented yet, like the parents of every computer programmer, every graphic designer, every Renewble Energy worker once did, imagined. We invest today so these jobs will be here in america to tomorrow, so america can lead the world that has its historically done. Thats why i brought back scientists into the white house. We need to think look, do we think the rest of the world is waiting around . Were not going to make those kind of investments, the rest of the world is saying. Take a look. Do you think china is waiting around to invest in this digital infrastructure, or in research and development . I promise you, they are not waiting. But theyre counting on america and democracy to be too slow, too limited, and too divided to keep pace. Youve heard me say it before. I think this generation will be marked by the competition between democracies and autocracies, because the world is changing so rapidly. The autocrats are betting on democracy not generating the unity to make the decisions to get in that race. We cant afford to prove them right. We have to show the world, and much more importantly, we have to show ourselves that democracy works. , that we can come together on the big things. This is the United States of america, for gods sake. Of course, Building Infrastructure of tomorrow requires Major Investments today. As i said last week, im open to ideas about how to pay for this plan, with one exception i will not impose any tax increases on people making less than 400,000 a year. If others have ideas out there on how to pay for this investment, without violating that rule, they should come forward. Theres all kinds of opportunities. Just list all the tax breaks that i find difficult to explain, wealthy deductions, 360 billion, cap top rate of 39 , which used to be 400 for years all the way to the bush administration. Almost a quarter of a trillion dollars, correspondent minute millennium tax, the fossil fuel giveaways. I cant go on. Let me tell you what i proposed, how to do it. Were going to raise the Corporate Tax rate. It was 35 for the longest time, which was too high, barack and i thought it was too high during our administration. We all agreed five years ago it should come down somewhat, but the Previous Administration reduced it all the way down to 21 . What i am proposing is we meet in the middle, 28 . 28 would still have lower corporate rates than any time between world war ii and 2017. It will generate over a trillion in taxes over 15 years, a new independent study put out last week found at least 55 of our largest corporations use the various loopholes to pay zero federal Tax Income Tax in 2020. Its just not fair. Its not fair to the rest of the american taxpayers. Were going to try to put an end to this. Not fleece them. 28 . If youre a mom a dad, a cop, firefighter, police officers, et cetera, youre paying close to that in your income tax. Ive also proposed the global minimum tax, being proposed around the world for u. S. Corpo corporations. That means that companies will not be able to hide their income in places like the Cayman Islands and bermuda. Also eliminated deductions yew by corporations for offshoring jobs and shifting assets overseas. They shift overseas and then dont have to pay taxes on all that they makes there. Well significantly ramp up i. R. S. Enforcement against corporations or the superwealthy who fail to report income or underreport it. Its estimated it could raise tens of billions of dollars. Just 15 years. Its honest, its fair, its m fiscally response. It pays for what we need and reduces the debt over the long haul. By the way, i dont hear any of our fans criticizing the play, that the Corporate Tax cut, the trump tax cut, added 2 trillion, 1. 9 trillion to the debt, the vast majority went to 1 of the top wage earners. I didnt hear anybody holler in this recovery, this kshaped recovery where billionaires made 300 billion more during this period. Where is the outrage there . Im not trying to punish anybody, but damnit, maybe its because i come from a middleclass neighborhood, im sick and tired of ordinary people being fleeced. Let me close by saying this. Whatever part sans and divisions there are around other issues, there dont have to be around this one. This shouldnt stop us from doing the right thing for the future. These arent republican bridges, democratic airports, thinks of the enter estate system or the space race. Were one nation, united and connected. As i said last week, im going to bring republicans to the white house. I invite them to come. Well have goodfaith negotiations, and any republican who wants to get this done, i invite, i invite them. We have to get these things done. Were at an Inflection Point in american democracy. This is a moment where we prove whether or not democracy with deliver, whether it can lay the foundation for an economy build from the bottom up and middle out, not trickledown economics from the top. Whether it can Lay Foundation for good jobs in a 21st century. I it would the young kids who work for me, my kids, when i go on college campuses, theyre going to see more change in the next ten years than we have seen in the last 50 years. Were going to talk about commercial aircraft, flying at super sonic speeds. Be able to figuratively, if we decided to do it, traverse the world in about an hour, travel 21,000 miles an hour. So much is changing. We have got to lead it. I believe democracy can come through. , when the American People come together. We saw it in the American Rescue plan. Were seeing it with the jobs plan. The American Rescue plan, which got so badly criticized, how many of my republican colleagues have gone on your stations or newspapers say, boy, my state really like it. The number of republicans and democrats who are hesitant, have called me, saying, god, this really works. Overwhelming majority of the American People support Infrastructure Investments that meets the moment. So i urge the congress, listen to your constituents and together we can lay a foundation for an economy that works for everyone and allows everyone america to be the world leader. He believe in 50 years from now, when people look back, theyll say this was the moment together that we won americas futures. I really believe that. Th
