00:18.431 --> 00:20.468
THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT IS

00:20.470 --> 00:22.757
PART OF AN INCREDIBLE TRACK

00:22.768 --> 00:23.881
RECORD OF LEGISLATIVE

00:23.883 --> 00:25.468
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND SUCCESS LED

00:25.502 --> 00:26.918
BY PRESIDENT BIDEN THAT WILL

00:28.660 --> 00:30.063
FOR EVERY DAY AMERICANS ALL

00:30.074 --> 00:32.029
THROUGHOUT THE LAND.

00:32.030 --> 00:34.125
THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT

00:34.126 --> 00:36.924
STRUCK A DRAMATIC BLOW AGAINST

00:36.935 --> 00:38.866
THE CLIMATE CRISIS, SETS ARE

00:38.868 --> 00:40.681
PLANTED ON A SUSTAINABLE

00:40.692 --> 00:42.033
TRAJECTORY FORWARD, LOWERS

00:42.068 --> 00:44.616
ENERGY COSTS, WILL STAND UP FOR

00:44.627 --> 00:46.171
CLEAN ENERGY, ECONOMY, CREATE

00:46.182 --> 00:48.532
OVER 1 MILLION GOOD PAYING JOBS

00:48.567 --> 00:49.834
OVER THE NEXT DECADE,

00:49.845 --> 00:51.367
STRENGTHENS THE AFFORDABLE CARE

00:51.401 --> 00:53.382
ACT, WILL LOWER HEALTH CARE

00:53.393 --> 00:55.224
COSTS, AND WILL CONTINUE TO

00:55.258 --> 00:57.702
DRIVE DOWN THE HIGH PRICE OF

00:57.713 --> 00:59.901
LIFESAVING PRESCRIPTION DRUGS

00:59.903 --> 01:02.042
FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS,

01:02.053 --> 01:03.727
INCLUDING TAKING THE PRICE OF

01:03.762 --> 01:05.656
INSULIN, WHICH FOR MANY

01:05.657 --> 01:06.765
AMERICAN FAMILIES COSTS

01:06.776 --> 01:08.199
APPROXIMATELY THOUSANDS OF

01:08.210 --> 01:09.944
DOLLARS A YEAR, AND NOW,

01:09.978 --> 01:12.180
BECAUSE OF THE INFLATION

01:12.191 --> 01:15.661
REDUCTION ACT, IT’S $35 AMOUNT.

01:15.672 --> 01:17.989
>> GOING FORWARD, JOE BIDEN

01:17.990 --> 01:20.502
DOES SEEM TO BE STRUGGLING WITH

01:20.536 --> 01:22.994
PERCEPTION HERE IN BEING ABLE

01:23.005 --> 01:25.358
TO CONVINCE VOTERS THAT ANY OF

01:25.369 --> 01:27.448
THOSE THINGS HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN

01:27.450 --> 01:29.903
ACCOMPLISHED, WHICH IS TO SAY,

01:29.914 --> 01:31.668
THE VOTER THAT’S UP FOR GRABS

01:31.679 --> 01:33.457
IS THE VOTER WHO DOESN’T PAY

01:33.468 --> 01:35.433
CLOSE ATTENTION TO THIS KIND OF

01:35.444 --> 01:36.742
GOVERNING AND TO THE KIND OF

01:36.753 --> 01:37.643
COVERAGE OF THIS KIND OF

01:37.677 --> 01:38.864
GOVERNING.

01:38.875 --> 01:42.745
AND SO IS THERE ANY STRATEGY

01:42.756 --> 01:44.794
THAT IS ACTUALLY WORKABLE TO

01:44.795 --> 01:45.708
REACH THE VOTER?

01:45.719 --> 01:47.641
WE KIND OF VOTER WHO DOESN’T

01:47.675 --> 01:50.211
ACTUALLY WANT TO BE REACHED.

01:50.212 --> 01:51.812
THEY ACTIVELY, IT’S LIKE TRYING

01:51.813 --> 01:53.693
TO MAKE ME WATCH GOLF.

01:53.704 --> 01:56.022
THEY ACTUALLY DON’T WANT TO

01:56.023 --> 01:57.528
CONSUME THIS INFORMATION.

01:57.563 --> 02:00.502
>> THE CLOSER WE GET TO THE

02:00.513 --> 02:01.647
ELECTION, THE MORE VOTERS

02:01.681 --> 02:03.621
ACROSS THE COUNTRY WILL BEGIN

02:03.622 --> 02:05.571

WILL CREATE MILLIONS OF GOOD

02:39.610 --> 02:41.718
PAYING JOBS, HELP FIX OUR

02:41.729 --> 02:43.350
CRUMBLING BRIDGES, ROADS,

TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS, AND

02:49.059 --> 02:51.088
INSURED CLEAN WATER IN EVERY

02:51.099 --> 02:52.142
SINGLE COMMUNITY.

02:52.176 --> 02:54.766
WE ALSO UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF

02:54.777 --> 02:57.190
PRESIDENT BIDEN PASTOR SAFER

COMMUNITIES ACT, GUN SAFETY

02:58.433 --> 02:59.383
LEGISLATION FOR THE FIRST TIME

02:59.394 --> 03:00.342
IN 30 YEARS.

03:00.343 --> 03:02.589
MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE TO STOP

03:02.590 --> 03:04.687
THE CARNAGE ON OUR STREETS, IN

03:04.688 --> 03:05.954
OUR COMMUNITIES, IN OUR

03:05.955 --> 03:07.555
CLASSROOMS, BUT UNDER THE

03:07.557 --> 03:08.757
LEADERSHIP OF PRESIDENT BIDEN

03:08.758 --> 03:09.917
WE HAVE MADE PROGRESS IN THIS

03:09.928 --> 03:10.472
AREA.

03:10.483 --> 03:13.843
I THINK THEMATICALLY WE’RE

03:13.878 --> 03:16.471
GONNA CONTINUE TO POINT OUT THE

03:16.482 --> 03:18.879
DEMOCRATS ARE WORKING TO BUILD

03:18.890 --> 03:20.724
AN ECONOMY FROM THE MIDDLE OUT

03:20.759 --> 03:22.668
IN THE BOTTOM UP.

03:22.679 --> 03:24.199
EXTREME MAGA REPUBLICANS, ON

03:24.234 --> 03:27.017
THE OTHER HAND, BELIEVE IN THE

03:27.019 --> 03:28.791
ECONOMY BUILT FROM THE TOP DOWN

03:28.802 --> 03:29.942
THE BENEFITS THE WEALTHY, THE

03:29.943 --> 03:31.400
WELL OFF, AND THE WELL

03:31.435 --> 03:32.106
CONNECTED.

03:32.117 --> 03:34.097
WE’LL FIGHTING WE’RE FIGHTING

03:34.108 --> 03:35.625
FOR MIDDLE CLASS FOLKS, WORKING

03:35.660 --> 03:36.822
FAMILIES, ALL THOSE WHO ASPIRE

03:36.833 --> 03:38.838
TO BE PART OF THE MIDDLE CLASS,

03:38.872 --> 03:40.007
FOR OLDER AMERICANS, FOR YOUNG

03:40.008 --> 03:41.269
PEOPLE, IN TERMS OF BRINGING TO

03:41.270 --> 03:43.766
LIFE THE AMERICAN DREAM.

03:43.767 --> 03:45.575
THAT COMPARISON OF OUR TRACK

03:45.586 --> 03:47.926
RECORD, WHERE THEY HAVE A

03:47.927 --> 03:49.631
NOMINEE WHO IS HAS LEFT BEHIND

03:49.642 --> 03:51.875
A TRACK RECORD, A TRAIL OF

03:51.877 --> 03:53.112
CRIMINAL INDICTMENTS, AS

03:53.123 --> 03:55.439
OPPOSED TO WHAT JOE BIDEN HAS

03:55.474 --> 03:57.338
DONE, CONTINUING TO PUT PEOPLE

03:57.349 --> 03:59.725
OVER POLITICS, I THINK IS GOING

03:59.759 --> 04:02.367
TO A STAND THE TEST OF TIME AND

04:02.368 --> 04:04.030
APPEAL TO A CLEAR MAJORITY OF

04:04.031 --> 04:05.713
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

04:05.724 --> 04:08.142
>> DEMOCRATS IN THE HOUSE WILL

04:08.143 --> 04:10.422
BE, AS WELL DEMOCRATS IN THE

04:10.433 --> 04:12.359
SENATE, WILL BE RUNNING AGAINST

04:12.393 --> 04:13.780
A PARTY, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY,

04:13.791 --> 04:15.577
THAT WILL BE SPENDING A

04:15.611 --> 04:19.202
TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF THE

04:19.213 --> 04:20.650
CAMPAIGN DEFENDING UNINDICTED

04:20.651 --> 04:21.461
FORMER PRESIDENT.

04:21.472 --> 04:23.852
THAT WILL BE AN ESSENTIAL

04:23.853 --> 04:26.063
COMPONENT OF REPUBLICAN

04:26.097 --> 04:27.602
CAMPAIGNS, HOW STRONGLY THE

04:27.613 --> 04:28.672
CANDIDATES DEFENSE AND INDICTED

04:28.674 --> 04:29.907
FORMER PRESIDENT.

04:29.918 --> 04:31.717
SHOULDN’T BE PART OF DEMOCRATIC

04:31.728 --> 04:32.588
CAMPAIGNS?

04:32.622 --> 04:35.340
SHOULD THE DEMOCRATS BE

04:35.341 --> 04:37.695
CAMPAIGNING ON THE ISSUE OF THE

04:37.696 --> 04:38.769
CORRUPTION OF THE FORMER

04:38.780 --> 04:39.420
PRESIDENT?

04:39.431 --> 04:42.045
>> I THINK WE’RE GOING TO

04:42.079 --> 04:44.726
CAMPAIGN NOT JUST ON OUR TRACK

04:44.727 --> 04:45.750
RECORD OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS,

04:45.761 --> 04:47.425
BECAUSE WE’RE NOT SIMPLY TRYING

04:47.459 --> 04:49.201
TO SAY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,

04:49.202 --> 04:50.055
REWARD US.

04:50.066 --> 04:52.392
BUT WE WILL BE ABLE TO

04:52.393 --> 04:53.728
ARTICULATE A WHOLE HOST OF

04:53.730 --> 04:55.636
ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO SAY TO THE

04:55.637 --> 04:56.683
AMERICAN PEOPLE, TRUST US.

04:56.684 --> 04:58.486

04:58.497 --> 05:00.604
WHAT WE MEAN IN TERMS OF OUR

05:00.615 --> 05:01.686
EFFORTS TO PUT PEOPLE OVER

05:01.697 --> 05:02.441
POLITICS.

05:02.452 --> 05:04.512
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY IT WILL

05:04.545 --> 05:05.845
ARTICULATE A VISION FOR THE

05:05.846 --> 05:06.383
FUTURE.

05:06.394 --> 05:08.835
CAMPAIGNS ARE AT THE END OF THE

05:08.846 --> 05:10.427
DAY ABOUT THE FUTURE.

05:10.428 --> 05:13.291
OUR EFFORTS TO REALLY GROW THE

05:13.325 --> 05:14.929
MIDDLE CLASS, TO MAKE LIFE

05:14.940 --> 05:16.308
BETTER FOR EVERYDAY AMERICANS,

05:16.319 --> 05:19.145

05:23.834 --> 05:25.630
SMALL TOWN AMERICA, APPALACHIA,

05:25.631 --> 05:27.053
THE HEARTLAND OF AMERICA.

05:27.087 --> 05:28.926
AT THE SAME TIME WILL HAVE THIS

05:28.937 --> 05:29.674
CRIMINAL PROCESS PLAY ITSELF

05:29.708 --> 05:30.781
OUT.

05:30.792 --> 05:33.538
MY FROM EXPECTATION OF THE

05:33.540 --> 05:35.148
PROSECUTORS WILL CONTINUE TO

05:35.159 --> 05:37.570
FOLLOW THE FACTS, BE GUIDED BY

05:37.605 --> 05:38.807
THE CONSTITUTION, PRESENT, IN

05:38.808 --> 05:40.266
THEIR VIEW, THE STRONGEST

05:40.277 --> 05:42.389
POSSIBLE CASE TO THE JURIES AND

05:42.390 --> 05:43.960
TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND WE

05:43.994 --> 05:45.785

05:55.471 --> 05:56.797
PROPER PERSPECTIVE ON OUR NEWS

05:56.798 --> 05:57.848
ENVIRONMENT THESE DAYS, AND ONE

05:57.859 --> 06:00.217
OF THE THINGS THAT IS BEING

06:00.252 --> 06:02.202
