president biden: good afternoon. excuse me. today, we will have reached the mark of 300 million shots in arms. let me say that again, 300 million shots in arms and under 150 days. it's an important milestone, and it did not happen by chance. it took the ingenuity of american scientists, the full capacity of american companies, and a whole state response. together, we built an unparalleled vaccination program and managed one of the most complicated logistical challenges in american history. we got here because of the american people stepping up and getting vaccinated. helping family, friends, neighbors get vaccinated. the situation is very different than it was 150 days ago. we didn't have enough vaccine supply to all americans. we didn't have a distribution structure. but we turned it around together quickly and equitably. we secured enough vaccine supply for every american. as i announced last week during my visit to europe, we are now in a position to provide more than half a billion vaccine doses to the rest of the world. we

we are working on a bill with the biden administration. the hispanic caucus is taking a look at that bill and comparing it to what we developed to make sure we strengthened it. in many cases, many provisions of the biden bill are even stronger than what we are bringing forward. you're making sure children are not split from their parents. this is a fundamental piece of that bill we must ensure happens . no child should be split. i was involved in bringing mothers and their children together at the height of the horrific period of our history when children were split from their mothers' arms. i know firsthand how tragic that is. we must not allow that to happen. america must be a beacon of opportunity. humanity must avail with this issue. -- must prevail with this issue. host: what does the biden administration have to do to distinguish itself as different from the trump administration policies? guest: it must have a human face. that means let's make sure -- for example -- we provide for the nation of venezuela and we already did. there is

biden: how are you? >> introduce yourself. pres. biden: do me a favor, will you? >> of course. it's a pleasure. pres. biden: what is your name? >>: great. -- glenn gray. pres. biden: glenn, good to see you. my pleasure. please go ahead. >> welcome, mr. president. it's a pleasure and honor to have you here today at lehigh valley. my name is glenn gray, i'm a trucks supervisor in the engine room on second shift. currently we have 2400 employees here and out of 2400, 2100 are united audible union. -- autoworker union technicians. we are currently hiring an additional 400 -- pres. biden: good for you. >> to be able to support the in sourcing that we have done and worked on really hard so that we can now make the chassis and the rail in-house. they are making them in-house. we were outsourcing this and then we decided we wanted the jobs to be in the factory, uaw jobs, so we brought it in two phases, completed as of last fall. >> this truck is started by rail. >> 100% built here, sir. pres. biden: did you have

president biden and first lady jill biden along with former president obama, former president clinton, and the first ladies were also in attendance.

president biden: thank you. thank you. [captions copyright nl cable satellite corp. 2021] [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] announcer: president biden survey damage from hurricane ida in new jersey before his remarks in new york city. the president spoke with a homeowner whose home was destroyed.

biden wants to do. another contradiction of president biden's plan is that it is billed as a green plant, a way to tackle climate change. the greenway to fund highways is by user charges because user charges limit demand. water authorities should increase user charges to raise the money for investment. that would have the benefit of limiting water usage. biden's plan would use subsidies and not user charges, so biden's infrastructure funding plan is not green at all. what is my alternative to the biden plan? how do we ensure that we have efficient investment and good management of infrastructure? the answer i think is decentralization. where we can, we should move infrastructure to the private sector, where it can be funded by user charges, as bob was talking about. a good example is airports. all of america's major airports are owned by state and local governments. there is no reason for that. half of europe's major airports are owned by the private sector, and they are generally self-funded by user ch

why don't we go with the same enthusiasm on biden? i think there is a bias of things shown and i don't think it comes from you, i think it emanates from the time. look over that and see if you don't agree. it is hypocritical to just drop the issue entirely and say we are going underneath the system. host: we will talk about that more later on in the program. president biden yesterday, part of his day focusing with the women soccer team unequal payday. we will show that to you. in just a moment. we will go to dale in nicholson, pennsylvania. caller: it is a known fact that women are smarter and quicker learners. somewhere between 20 and 25, they quit learning. i think the pay gap is about right. host: what do you mean women quit learning? is that true of men as well? caller: men, with their life experiences and all that, they keep on learning. women just seem to slow down. host: what kind of study would say something like that? where are you reading a study like that? caller: that is my study. host: ok. president biden yesterday hostin

because biden was trying to be real neutral. he was trying not to go too far left. he was trying to be neutral. but they keep fighting him. then, the democrats, we have a problem because we have manchin and sinema which are really republicans. and they keep locking -- blocking his agenda. mr. mcgovern: because of the bureaucracy -- [indiscernible]

biden: we are help >> next, president biden travels to queens, new york where he surveyed the damage caused by hurricane ida and he spoke about the federal response, climate change and the need to invest in u.s. infrastructure. the president joined by new york governor kathy hogle, new york city mayor bill de blasio and senate majority leader chuck schumer and members of the new york congressional delegation. it is >> one week ago today, as i saw the death of hurricane ida, i caused the governors of mississippi -- i called the governors of mississippi and they were grateful. little did i know that one day later, we would be the ones asking for help. that we would've experienced a cataclysmic weather event whose proportions the likes of which have never been seen in our state. the volume of water that came down in a one hour time from 8:51 p.m. to 9:51 p.m. last wednesday night roque all the records and literally the records had been set 10 you -- 10 days before. that is the definition of a climate crisis. we are experiencing a climate rises as we speak. more than talking about that i

biden: good morning, everyone. i want to begin by thanking the secretary of defense and our fema director for joining me today. we were joking earlier -- no, it wasn't really joking -- when you need something done, call on the military. [laughs] we'll get fema -- we'll make sure it gets done. look, we're about to get a covid-19 briefing from military and medical teams on the ground in arizona, michigan, and new york. they're part of a major deployment of our nation's armed forces to help hospitals across the country manage this surge of the omicron virus -- this surge that's having an impact on hospitals. like all healthcare workers, they are heroes, and i'm grateful for what they do. but before we begin, i want to provide an update on our fight against covid-19 and announce new steps. first, the update. i know we're all frustrated as we enter this new year. the omicron variant is causing millions of cases and record hospitalizations. i've been saying that, as we remain in this pandemic, this is a pandemic of the u

i don't know how joe biden competes with that. i can tell you there have been a number of times that we have done events across the country where you ask people how many of you in this room are democrats, one third to one half of the room will raise their hand that they are former democrats. she not surprised at how feels. a lot of people feel that way. california, in democratic caller. caller: hi. i am ardently against donald trump. i don't see how he can be for women when he is not for families. he is not for families because he is destroying the planet. he is leading us toward a plastic -- a path of your revocable climate change which revocableus -- your change.ocable climate he has deregulated regulations on the books that are really going to cause our children all kinds of poisoning and problems in the water. just on that alone and on the coronavirus, i would like to say it is like a fire that you have to stop completely for it will keep destroying the economy. stopped -- he has one of the worst records in the world. the way

joe biden's american family span replaces individual striving with middle-class entitlement. the american families act makes a reality officially clear, democratic party is giving up on the american dream. the american families plan and democratic legislation implicitly imposed several questions, is the idea of upper mobility important? how should upward mobility happen, through washington or individual efforts? should the habit of individual striving to give way to a or important goal of nationalized paternalism. the transition began when democrats enacted an insurance bonus of $300. that bonus pushing benefits past wage rates and indisputably is causing many to shun previously held jobs? why bother? held out for state compensation that reduces the incentive for me to work. skip the work choice public school teachers across the country have made the past year. hakeem jeffries. >> it is clear to many of us that the differences between democrats and republicans at this particular moment in time couldn't be any starker, it can be any clearer. house democrats are fighting for ev

we are pleased to be discussing president biden's executive order on foreign controlled apps. i am vice president and director. please note all instructions of opinion on this program are those of our speakers. today we are happy to have the cato institute serving as a

biden: it did not take long at all. what happened was the omicron virus spread more rapidly than anybody thought. if i had told you four weeks ago that this would spread by 500%, you would have said, biden, what are you drinking? we do not know what is going to happen. there is some evidence in south africa that it is dropping off quickly. but i do know that we are not going to be in a position like i said when we were having problems with masks and gowns, and i said -- i got questions why are you still paying for all these basques and gowns? -- masks and gowns? reporter: will you reverse the travel yes -- travel? pres. biden: i put the travel ban on to see how much time we had before it hit so we could begin to decide what we needed by looking at what was happening in other countries. we are past that now. it is something that is being raised by the docs. i will have an answer soon. reporter: do you believe senator manchin kept his word to you? pres. biden: i told you before. some people think maybe i am not irish beca

biden. -- my name then the vice president biden. i was vilified by some republicans. "anof them called me effeminate man with a soft sounding voice." other republicans say the polls were skewed by a grand conspiracy of pollsters. some prominent republican columnist addicted that mitt romney would win by a landslide. it was not just republicans who are giving me a hard time. msnbc host insisted i should be away from laptops and microphones. , electionself clear forecasting is not the most important concern in the world. it makes for an instructor to -- political polls are simple and objective facts. pundits and could not take an average of them. yourhave they left generation with? a mess. there is no doubt this is a big issue. the probability of statistics are not taught very much in passions and are not taught for a will. -- in many classrooms and are not taught very well. it is not that they do not know statistics. it is that they do not know how much they do not know know. -- we do notple

presidentou think the asked the ukraine leader to investigate joe biden and hunter biden? guest: i hope so. i hope it was quid pro quo. this discussion is make-believe. that is what foreign policy is. what was obama's iran deal? we will lift sanctions if you stop making nukes. look across time. state department bureaucrats seem to think they are the president. americans don't like that foreign aid is being given. the entire 2006 election is america saying, that is enough of the middle east. can we have some me time? can we care about americans now? all we are hearing about his ukraine. that is what foreign aid is. we don't like it. they always come back and say it is not that much money. it is so important. we use it to put pressure on companies to clean up corruption. it is always a quid pro quo. that is why he is the president. host: is it ok for a president to ask for an investigation into his political rivals? this quid pro quo would be for his own personal gain? guest: it is so reaching. so reaching. it was biden, i would say that is kind of a conflict, biden on tape

i would argue our biden economic plan is working. historic investments on the way, as well. this is not accidental. it is a result of our strategy to get shots in arms, grow the economy from the bottom-up and the middle-out, and it is the result of the american rescue plan and everything else we have done. and it is the result of the great determination and really hard work of the american people. even with all this progress, a lot of families are still feeling the pinch. budgets remain tight, and paychex do not go as far as they need to. that has been the reality in the millions of households across america for too long. that is why i want to talk today about what we're going to do to try to ease the burden on families right now and what we need to do to help them succeed over the longer-term. first, for millions of families, help is on the way right now thanks to the american rescue plan. on friday, about 40 million families will receive their second monthly payment as rt of our tax cut for families with children. $300 for each child under the age of six, and $250 for ever

and we do appreciate the biden administration's efforts to try to find some solutions for that. there is certainly a bill in congress, right now, passed through the senate, to authorize $52 billion additional funding to actually help support -- >> department of homeland security. he recently met with conference leaders shortly after taking office and was with us in our leadership meeting in dayton and he's here today. secretary mayorkas is the first latino cuban, got to, you know, got to represent my people here, thank you. that's all right. he's worked as a law official and nationally recognized lawyer. secretary mayorkas is known for responding to the influx of migration across the southern border, overseeing the settlement of refugees in our country, fixing the broken immigration system, responding to and recovering from hurricanes, floods and other disasters, protecting us from terrorism, foreign and domestic, and helping us to avoid and recover from cyber attacks including mallware -- mal ware attacks that compromise our security and cost billions of dollars. that's a lot o

biden: all right. vice pres. harris: thank you. >> good afternoon. i am so pleased to welcome president biden and vice president harris. thank you for taking time out of your schedule. before we begin our covid engagements, i want to take time to recognize the horrific shootings. i want to expend -- extend my sympathy to those affected. here at cdc, we stand against heat, stigma, and discrimination -- hate, stigma, and discrimination. . mr. president, your leadership from day one has been so confident. it has reinvigorated me personally. your support is so important to the cdc staff. cdc has a history of leading our nation through public health challenges. as you know, cdc has provided substantial support for vaccination implementation, which is putting increasing numbers of shots and arms week by week. today, day 58, we hit the goal of 100 million vaccinations. i am so energized by the future. and yet, we still have so much more work to do. while you are here, i want to give you a few updates regarding some of our other covid response activities. dr

biden was more conservative than obama. encouraging if biden pick someone more progressive. seen candidates stumble around with this new reality technologically. how concerned are you with the inability ability or to reach out and campaign during this paralyzing time? rep. ocasio-cortez: this is a especiallyoncern, when it comes to congressional elections. there are a lot of states that have primaries coming up. implications for all of us across the board. the number one thing that is most important for us in every state in this country, and nationally, is to guarantee mail-i that we standardize thato compensate for the challenges in campaigning this year. even states like new york. states, the of declaration of waiving the excuse for absentee voting is completely insufficient i think for the challenges ahead of us. york, absentee ballots are not counted the same way mail-in ballots are in other states. they are not counted. they tend to be -- when the election is close. we need to nail everything a person, every single eligible voter in this country about it that is what ha

. >> now present biden at the u.s. conference of mayors. he talks about the social spending plan known as build back better. this runs about half an for our president as do all members of congress. [captioning performed by the nation >> the mayor of miami, mayor suarez. mayor suarez: he reminded me i was 2 years old when i did my first political commercial. i looked directly into the camera and i said -- [speaking foreign language] we have something else in common backstage. he said, you know, we both married up. i have to agree with him on that. mr. president, honored guests, fellow mayors, ladies and gentlemen. we live in no ordinary time. and this is no ordinary moment. it is an honor to welcome president biden and so many members of his administration, along with congressional leadership, speaker pelosi, and leader mccarthy. it is a rare occasion that a sitting president attends our mid-winter conference but we know now more than ever that if we get our cities right, we'll get our country right. [cheers and applause] and thank you, mayo

biden: thank you for that introduction. to everyone at the sight of the memorial foundation, thank you for having me. and for supporting the charities that care for new york city's children and families in need. know al smith by what he did. disappointment that the event could not continue as normal. these are difficult times for our country. recession, a, a reckoning on race. with each crisis, our faith is tested. so our institutions. we have to guard ourselves from rationalizing that this is normal. too many people woke up this morning, went to their kitchen table, and there was an anti-chair. just days ago her weeks ago a loved one set their, talking, laughing, sharing their dreams. now they are gone. thanks to an unforgiving virus. my catholic faith has helped me through the darkness. i have had to bury pieces of my soul deep in the earth. ahave found purpose to live life worthy of those i lost. i have been guided by the tenets ets of catholic guidance. have an obligation to one another. we cannot serve ourselves at the

this is what joe biden has done to this country. as we go into his second year as president, we have a president who has failed the economy, covid, the border, and on issue after issue including crime in our cities. the american people deserve better. this president has failed. >> the biden administration in its first year has passed fewer pieces of legislation than any administration in decades. 81 bills were signed into law. 94 under president trump. 124 under obama. 109 under george w. bush. the reason is not the rules, the reason is because they decided early that they wanted to focus on doing everything they wanted to do and doing it exactly the way they wanted to do it by doing it themselves. the first bill, the 1.9 american recovery act did damage to an economy that was already recovering. they got a bipartisan win with the infrastructure bill. then immediately participated with the house in an effort where the house was going to hold hostage until they could get enough senate democrats to vote for the big bill that was all k

biden gets a list of questions on withdrawal. a list of republicans is pressuring president biden to release information on americans who remain f -- in afghanistan monday. a coalition wrote the letter on thursday asking for answers to the questions by september 7. they also asked that the answers be released to the public. they say our immediate priority is the safety of american citizens and allies left behind. among several questions the senators are demanding answers for, how many citizens, green cardholders and applicants are still in afghanistan? how many want to be repatriated to the u.s. or still have contact? the president is expected to speak after 10:00 this morning on the monthly jobs numbers. we will show that do you momentarily. let's hear from christopher on the democrat line in florida. >> good morning. simply put, in my humbly -- humble opinion the three stories that are grabbing the world and grabbing the united states by the throat, the withdrawal from afghanistan, the storms and of course the texas abortion la

that is what the biden administration should emphasize to the courts. host: we have mentioned during this segment that this requires agreement from mexico to actually work. do have any idea what the mexican government thinks about this court saying this program must continue? guest: it is interesting that the mexican government, and this has not been widely reported, but it actually pushed back against mpp and did say, through some of the negotiations, that they refused to accept family units back. they have made sort of exceptions and they have been pushing back. this may create an opportunity for the mexican government to push back even more, so i think that is right. host: with this program, the remain in mexico program, does the u.s. have this with any other country decides sicko, or is this specifically aimed at immigrants and asylum seekers coming through mexico? guest: the subsection specifically uses the word contiguous territory mso that is correct, either mexico or canada , people coming through, and it is not necessarily mexican nationals wer

open biden. i love it. now more than ever, we need a battle-tested forward-looking leader who will fight for the people. a president with the values experienced in -- and the strategic thinking to bring our nation together and to build a better, fairer world. as president, he's taking us to new heights of inclusion in the success of america. president biden is a leader who is the personification of hope and courage, values, authenticity and integrity. joe biden as president and with democratic majorities in the house and senate, we will deliver both progress -- bold progress for the people. and now it is my privilege to present the 45th president of the united states as my children -- grandchildren would say, open biden. mr. president. president biden: nancy, i love you. there's no one i'd rather work with than you. we've been friends a long time. and your whole family, your daughters and it's just been a great relationship. i think that angie was absolutely correct. you've been the consummate leader. i've

. >> one thing that the biden administration pretty early on is going to have to figure out what they're going to do with is they're inheriting a very -- at very least a google antitrust lawsuit from the d.o.j. >> people who talked about health that point to broadban. they point to people who can't do remote learn, they point to people who are struggling to have connectivity at home when they need to be home to be safe sometimes. so i think that's going to be a huge thing to watch in the weeks and months ahead. >> tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern, on "the communicators" on c-span2. we are back for our conversation on race in america. barack obama was asked about this in a 60 minutes interview yesterday. we will show you that, come back, get your thoughts on it. here he is. is that we have a criminal justice system in which ,e ask often times very young often times not very well to go intoicers communities and just keep a lid on things. and we don't try to get at some of the underlying causes for chronic poverty. so if we are going to actually solve this problem, there are some specific thing

but that's not what we're hearing from the biden administration. their answer is the same it's always been for democrats -- more government, more spending, higher taxes, no accountability. voters are befuddled by the claim that while families cannot borrow without limits or consequences, somehow the federal government can. it's irresponsible, and i won't stand for it. we have to get serious about how we're spending taxpayer dollars. we already have more than $27 trillion in federal debt. if interest rates return to their 50-year average, the interest on our federal debt will make it impossible to fund our military, medicare, and social security. president biden wants to spend more than $350 billion to bail out wasteful liberal states for their decades of mismanagement and his nominees, including ms.s nonsense. andrew cuomo threatened the new york wealthy that if they don't give him help to get a federal government bailout he will raise their taxes. i was elected as governor of florida while he was elected as governor to new york. i lowered taxes ea

just last month he biden administration critic the senses of traffickers and dealers. president obama similarly in community centers of 715 drug offenders feared some of those . after they were released many went back to selling drugs are trafficking. this subcommittee should probably not look to ways to let more drug dealers in traffickers out of resin. more importantly, some respect the philosophy of this beard the presidents prerogative, the president who designs, excepts the current rubric or implements a new rubric in determining early releases, pardons, reprieves. we can comment on it but i do not think we can legislatively, at least in a constitutional matter imposed on the president our will on how the president determines how to grant pardons. that is exclusively reserved to the president of the united states. with that, i will yield back. >> thank you. the chair now recognizes the committee, johnson from new york or his opening statements. >> good morning. thank you. i think chairman woman jackson. i hope today's discussion advises proposals that will enable

obama and biden in november 2016. i got a letter back from them and they told me we have joined the paris agreement and that is just bull. that isn't the answer. host: let's get a response. stanley, thank you. caller: the critical thing to realize is that there are so many different solutions there isn't a single silver bullet solution to combating the climate crisis and reducing the speed at which the world is warming. there are several natural solutions like you referred to, letting the ocean carbon be at what it is supposed to be. those are things we definitely want to enable i reducing carbon in the atlas. will -- carbon in the atmosphere. there are so many other solutions, like electrifying everything, trying to get as much of our power from electricity as possible and generate the power in a way that doesn't continue to spew carbon emissions in the atmosphere. we need to both get the carbon out of the atmosphere through natural sources and also keep carbon emissions we have in the ground and keep the fossil fuel

our president of the united states, joe biden. [applause] pres. biden: thank you. we used to have an expression when i serve in the senate. when i wanted to make some statement that was personal, i said, a point of personal privilege. when you are talking about working on the water, my family is originally from baltimore, came in the early 1800s. the entire biden family worked on the water until probably 1908 . my father was raised in baltimore. although they never worked at the port, they did work the bay and along here. this has been -- this is one of the oldest ports of the country and one of the best. tony, thanks for that introduction. mayor scott, thanks for the passport into the city. want to thank governor hogan and members of the delegation. i want to start with chris van hollen. if you need something, go to him. also, rufus berger and the guy who i knew when he was a kid. i know his dad, a senator. and congressman's our veins -- sarbanas. i want to thank him for all the help and getting the legislation passed. it is a big deal. it is going to make a big d

earlier today, president biden made some remarks. we will show part of them here. he can watch the entire thing on c-span at 12:00 -- 1205 a.m.. >> with the revision of the july numbers, this report means we have been adding an average of 750,000 jobs per month on average during the past three months. in the three months before he became president, we were adding 60,000 jobs a month. total job creation in the first seven months of my administration has been nearly double. double any prior first your president. i know someone to see a larger number today. so did i. what we have seen this year is the continued growth month after month with job creation. it is not just that i have added more jobs than any first-year president is that we have added jobs in every single one of my first seven job reports. wages are going up. some months there are fewer, some months there are more. always adding jobs. this is the kind of growth that makes our economy stronger and consistent progress that is not boom or bust. our economy group the fastest this year in at rate in about 40 y

you mentioned biden wanting to pick a black woman for the supreme court. you also read part of the same story from this newspaper that reagan also said he was going to pick a woman for the supreme court. there is a big difference between the two. you are talking about biden. he mentioned a race. he will take a black woman. reagan is going to pick a woman. that could be a woman of any race. host: he mentioned gender. what's the difference? caller: he picked up black while at. post: -- host: he said the type of candidate specifically, a woman in the case of justice sandra day o'connor,'s first choice. caller: there is a big difference between taking a woman. it can be any nationality, any country, and picking a black woman. specifically hunting for one black woman. host:

what would you like to see from the biden administration. guest: we are in such a unique moment right now where the federal eviction moratorium -- 6 million renter families are men -- remain falling behind during the pandemic. $46 billion in emergency systems that has yet to reach the vast majority of those who need it. the biden administration working appropriately aggressively to get that money to tenants and landlords who need it. even when that money reaches tennants it won't reach the underlying systemic challenges for the lowest income people. the biden administration is proposing over $300 billion in investment towards long-term solutions. we are working with them and congress that they be targeted towards the lowest income people. these kind of investments could be transformational. host: we are talking with the president and ceo of the national low income housing coalition. we welcome your calls. if you are a renter, (202) 748-8001 is the line to call. if you are looking to buy a home, that line is (202) 748-8001. for all others the

i wish that someone in the media would look at hunter biden's laptop. if he would have the guy on once . i watched his interview with tucker carlsen for one hour. he made the same statement to the fbi, under penalty of perjury, he could have gone to jail, and yet nobody in the media is interested in that conversation. i believe the biden family, they sold this country out to china and that is just the way i see it. host: thank you for your voice. catherine has this on facebook, can an individual who upward on their own? i have a masters degree and put in the time that have stool loan debt. do millennials have the same opportunities as the same generations or have big businesses found enough loopholes to tip the scales in their favor at the cost of the individuals? your view on all of this? caller: good morning. i would like to tell the previous color to listen to -- caller to listen to marcus he now. that was a bunch of lies. it sounds like a person making an opinion. maybe he is getting urged to do this by the coke brothers. the republicans have been d

and democratican parties and the campaigns that president trump and joe biden are adjusting plans for next month's complete at conventions. already reshaped by the coronavirus pandemic, democrats will convene for a scaled-back convention in milwaukee starting august 17. the republicans begin their convention the following week, august when he forced in charlotte, north carolina before living onto to jacksonville, florida. democratic and republican national conventions, live on c-span, beginning monday august 17. watch any time on c-span.org or listen live on the free c-span radio app. c-span -- your unfiltered view of politics. >> democratic presidential candidate joe biden campaigned in pennsylvania yesterday. while in dunmore, he unveiled his new slogan -- build back at her. he also talked about his plan to reinvest and revive the economy. : i want to thank them all. mayor burke, mayor cognitive, congratulations and president eric dane, mr. president, as i man has been that with me my entire career. the first operation to ever endorse me in 1972. i wasn't even old enough to be elect
