Stay home. The announcement came after the state saw a surge in positive coronavirus cases. Wisconsin has seen more than 278,000 cases and 2400 deaths since march. Good evening, wisconsin. Governor tony evers here. I know i dont have to tell you this year has been one of many major challenges. A Global Pandemic coupled with Economic Uncertainty and another election season has shaken our patients, empathy, and compassion for one another. Our optimism has been battered, ourresilience strained and character, tested but as we put the election behind us, we are called upon to remember the things that unite us and that includes the struggles we share. We must return our attention to the pandemic. We must fight the virus together and we must start tonight. This year, earlier we took steps to contain covid19 by issuing a safer at home order. We estimated then our efforts would save between 300 and 1400 lives. By ther was struck down wisconsin supreme court, a decision that hamstrung our abilit
Today. I am honored you asked me to inaugurate this center for freedom and democracy. Lets see if i cant solve this feedback problem myself. Ready, i wastting reminded of a line from emerson. He said an institution is lengthened by the shadow of one man. There is no man who did more than reagan to restore americas confidence and human freedom in the post world war ii era. There is no better event than continuing that work by launching this institution 40 years after america sent our 40th president to the white house. People watching online and those in this room are students of president reagan. As a kid growing up in california, i got to see him in action as the governor. It was a very different california then. [laughter] was ronald but it reagan as governor who believed in the promise of america. He believed no other nation under god was conceived in liberty quite the way that we are. His deep, innate understanding of americas exceptional place in the world gave him the strength to
Act on the same day the Supreme Court heard a challenge to the law. Mr. Biden took questions on the transition and mr. Trumps refusal to concede. His is 25 minutes. Good afternoon. Today the Supreme Court heard arguments in the case that could strike down the Affordable Care act in its entirety. If the Supreme Court agrees with the opponents of the act, their decisions could take healthcare away from 20 million americans. It could take away protections for more than 100 Million People with preexisting conditions in our country and hurt the millions of american who is have come to rely on the Affordable Care act. Getting rid of the Affordable Care act will take us backwards to a time when people could charge a woman more for her healthcare than they could charge a man simply because she is a woman. To a time when pregnancy could be considered a preexisting condition. It will take away free Birth Control and contraceptive coverage for women. This is all happening at a moment when our cou
Attention to the covid19 pandemic. We must start fighting this virus together, and we must start tonight. Year, know, earlier this we took steps to contain covid19 by issuing a safer at home order. We estimated then that our efforts would say between 300 and 1400 lives. That order was struck down by the wisconsin supreme court, a decision that hamstrung our ability to respond to this virus by using the tools supported by science and Public Health experts. Unfortunately, since then, wisconsin has become a national hotspot. We once led this region in containing this virus, but now, surges in our state rival what we saw in new york city this past spring. Our case numbers continue to climb. Since last friday, we have added more than 25,000 new cases. It took us 7. 5 months to get through 100,000 cases, but only took 36 days to add another 100,000. The way things are going, it will take us only 20 days to reach another 100,000. We have now surpassed in deaths the number of lives we projecte
Mr. Biden took questions on the transition and President Trumps refusal to concede. This is 25 minutes. With preexisting conditions in our country and hurt the millions of americans who have come to rely on the Affordable Care act, getting rid getting rid of the Affordable Care act will take us backwards. To a time when people could charge a woman more for her health care than they could charge a man simply because she is a woman. To a time when pregnancy could be considered a preexisting condition. It will take away free Birth Control and contraceptive coverage for women. This is all happening at a moment when our country is suffering through a pandemic that has claimed more than 238,000 lives. And we all know that if the Affordable Care act is struck down, communities of color would be hit particularly hard. Blacks, asians, hispanics, and native americans. They are at a greater risk of preexisting conditions from asthma to diabetes to lucas. To lupus. They are three times as likely t
