It's been characterized as a type of
political super bowl in the united
states
the president's annual message to
congress and the opposing party's
response
we're covering both in today's show I'm
Carl Azuz
last night u.s president joe biden
delivered his first annual message to a
joint session of congress
as we mentioned earlier this week this
wasn't technically a state of the union
address though it has many of the same
elements and traditions
when a president does this for the first
time the thinking goes that the leader
hasn't been in office long enough to be
an authority on the actual state of the
union so
annual message is the term used to
describe this kind of speech
it's still done in person it's
traditionally delivered in front of u.s
senators and representatives and their
guests
members of the president's cabinet
members of the u.s supreme
court the president doesn't just discuss
the status of where things
are the speech is a chance for the
leader to lay out a vision for the
country in the year ahead
it's televised and shown online it's
covered in the news for days afterward
and all of this has grown out of a
sentence in the u.s constitution that
says quote
he shall from time to time give to the
congress information on the state of the
union
and recommend to their consideration
such measures as he shall judge
necessary and expedient according to the
house of representatives
president biden's speech last night was
the 98th time a u.s leader delivered an
address like this
in person we don't have a word count on
it yet though these speeches tend to
average around five to six thousand
the shortest was president george
washington's in 1790
it had fewer than eleven hundred words
the longest written speech was president
jimmy carter's in nineteen eighty one
it had more than thirty three thousand
words so what words did president biden
use to discuss what he judges necessary
and expedient
here are some highlights from his annual
message
100 days since i took the oath of office
and lifted my hand
off our family bible and inherited a
nation
we all did that was in crisis the worst
pandemic in a century
the worst economic crisis since the
great depression
the worst attack on our democracy since
the civil war
now after just one hundred days
i can report to the nation america
is on the move again american jobs
family add
millions of jobs and trillions of
dollars to economic growth in the years
to come
it is a it is a eight year program
these are good paying jobs that can't be
outsourced
nearly 90 percent of the infrastructure
jobs created in american jobs plan
do not require a college degree
i'm the first president 40 years and
knows what it means to have a son
serving in a war zone today we have
service members serving in the same war
zone as their
parents did we have service members in
afghanistan who are not yet
born on 9 11. the war in afghanistan as
we remember the debates here
were never meant to be
multi-generational undertakings
of nation building we went to
afghanistan to get terrorists
the terrorists who attacked us on 9 11.
my fellow americans
we have to come together to rebuild
trust between law enforcement and the
people they serve
to root out systemic racism in our
criminal justice system
and to enact police reform in george
floyd's name
at the very moment our adversaries were
certain we'd pull apart and fail
we came together we united
with light and hope we summoned the new
strength
new resolve to position us to win the
competition of the 21st century
on our way to a union more perfect
more prosperous and more just
as one people one nation and one america
folks as i told every world leader i've
ever met with over the years
it's never ever ever been a good bet to
bet against america
and it still isn't we're the united
states of america
there's not a single thing nothing
nothing beyond our capacity
we can do whatever we set our minds to
if we do it together
so let's begin to get together
god bless you all and may god protect
our troops
thank you for your patience
okay as we mentioned another event
associated with the president's annual
messageis the opposing political party's
response this has been a tradition since
the 1960s
and as president biden is a democrat
last night's speaker representing the
republican party is u.s senator tim
scott from south carolina
the politician and businessman has been
serving in the senate since
2013 here are some highlights from the
gop response
our president seems like a good man his
speechwas full of good words but our nation is
starving
for more than empty platitudes we need
policies and progress that brings us
closer together but three months in the
actions of the president and his party
are pulling us further and further apart
republicans support everything you think
of when you think of
infrastructure roads bridges ports
airports waterways high-speed broadband
we're in for all of that less than six
percent of the president's plan
goes to roads and bridges it's a liberal
wish list of big government waste
plus the biggest job-killing tax hikes
in a generation we should be expanding
opportunities
and options for all families not
throwing money
at certain issues because democrats
think they know best
nowhere do we need common ground
more desperately than in our discussions
of race
my friends across the aisle seemed to
want the issue
more than they wanted a solution
race is not a political weapon to settle
every
issue the way one side wants it's far
too important i am standing here
because my mom has prayed me through
some really tough times
i believe our nation has succeeded the
same way
because generations of americans in
their own ways
have asked for grace and god has
supplied it
10 second trivia which of these famous
awards was established first
academy awards pulitzer prize fields
medal or newberry medal
dating back to 1917 the pulitzer prize
is the oldest award on this list
[Music]
the award recognizes outstanding work in
the fields of music drama literature
and journalism but there are some types
of work in the journalism field that
may not win reporters a pulitzer but
they're still outstanding for the way
the reporters remain standing when
things go wrong
take for instance when animals attack a
newscast
even a certified meteorologist couldn't
forecast this
screen later in the afternoon whoa whoa
whoa what
is going on a flapping bird in this
sacramento weather cam
didn't exactly leave adam epstein
unflappable
mainly dry mainly rain sorry i'm all
mixed up i'm still thinking about that
bird but this latest
bird photo bomb is far from the first
here over the city
look at this he's totally checking out
the camera mark
yeah okay it's not quite a scene out of
the birds
but seagulls have been cited an advisory
from
environment okay that is distracting
we're not just talking
birds that are camera hogs oh
even more spiders and for our area so
let's have oh my gosh
that was creepy at least with the
weather cam the critters are on the
other side of the lens
in your garden of bugs or why not
or capitulating to bison at the entrance
to yellowstone
oh my god
oh no i ain't messing with you oh no or
warding off raccoons on the white house
lawn
get heaving a footstool
but that itsy bitsy spider doesn't look
soitsy to a meteorologist who's bugging
out
oh i just don't like that okay i gotta
move
genie this is so cool well the first
meteorologist had to weather a burden
the white bird had a lot of gull the bee
wouldn't buzz off and the spiders tried
to make a newscast a webcast
bison bring above a load of anxiety and
it's hard to track down raccoons because
they're masksso the moral of the story is whether you
are in the field or you're in the studio
you risk being downed by visitors I'm
