Thank you, i dont know where he says, i know hes here. President of the central labor council. Thank you for hosting us today. The worst for somebody who runs a place, nothing but a lot of work she couldnt be here today because she celebrated labor day but i think liz, a great friend and partner in so many elected officials here today. It couldnt be here today, they are taking pittsburgh. [cheering and applauding] along with a few friends by the way, shut up and youre able to come. There he is under the american flag. Check got back going to continue. Look, one of my friends from my hometown from pennsylvania. Representative of a good friend, always there for me. A great friend as well. Charlene parker, i know i saw her. I know they are about to do. You want to come up and do that . I told him iran for president , i thought id have you back and i called. A lot of politicians dont know how to say the word union. Its union. In practice a union, the most pro union in American History and i make no bones about the. Let me tell you what we are celebrating. We are celebrating jobs, good paying jobs, union jobs. Linda accused of expression, its a lot more than a paycheck, for real. Its about your dignity, respect, looking you in the eyes and say is going to be okay and he was right. We are it a reality, 13 million, 500,000 as you got me scorning in january 2020. 800,000 new manufacturing jobs but you wouldnt know it from the negative news. Theyre getting through one of the greatest job creation. As a fact. It was not long ago and before me, one of the two president s in history, left office your jobs and when he got elected office. Do you know the other one . Herbert hoover. Not coincidental. We are turning things around because of you. When the last guy was here, your shipping jobs to china. No green jobs homes in china. [cheering] in the last guy was here, we saved millions of pensions with your help. He looked at the world from park avenue. I look at it from pennsylvania, and delaware. Only time have been recorded at middleclass. Thats who i am. You know your family has to work to be able to make it. One thing, i know who built this country, ive been saying this since iran the first time. Wall street didnt build america, the middle class built america. [cheering and applauding] thats a fact. Unions built the middle class. People with courage and people who busted their next their lives and people got up every day. You dont talk about what you have to do but American Union workers of the best and have been around in america has the best workers in the world. Thats a fact. [applause] you are to talk about it more. It could take four to five years train as an apprentice going back to college, jobs are constantly changing. You have to get more training to you cant be the worst in the world, youre the best in the world. I really mean it. Sheetmetal workers and design ductwork and buildings systems for the entire project to be laid out in 3d. This is not sheetmetal workers. You do the job right and on time and it cost last and if they didnt have labor. People are starting to understand i met with the Business Roundtable and i said why are you prolabor . You dont why do you not understand im prolabor . [laughter] when i was Vice President i spoke with 364 ceos and we asked them, they said they made up better education of the workforce. What are you doing . You are fighting everything were doing in the Democrat Party to make People Better educated, why are you doing it . All of a sudden you dont see them going after you as much because they know they need you. America support for the union is higher today than in 60 years. [cheering and applauding] i continue to call on congress, the fro act, too Many Companies in the organization so one of the greatest leaders ever worked with and we are going to get a pass in my plan is to make the economy work. My first two years of created 13. 5 million. [cheering] 800,000 new jobs. I dont see it written a newer. Unemployment below 4 and recovered all the jobs lost and added millions more. More than 700,000 joined the labor force last month. Job satisfaction in the senate 36 years. Inflation is down and the experts said to get inflation down you need higher unemployment. Not on my watch. I never thought the problem was too many people working and we have to do more to put in place known together we made this happen. It was all going to follow in law the deficit im pretty sure you saw would also. We are changing the. We are referring to economics and its working. We doing middle out not the top down. This is an economic statement. [cheering and applauding] pay your taxes. [applause] dynamics is bluecollar blueprint for america. Last week we announced a new proposal, a new rule that extend overtime pay to 3,600,000 workers and now 35 grand 436 grade and you dont get overtime. You got a whole lot of people working more than 40 hours. Now youre going to get paid overtime. I make a big difference for a lot of families. As we passed the bush lewis act, millions of Union Workers. [cheering and applauding] one of the most significant achievers in over 50 years. The folks at home, two to 3 million Union Workers after paying for years face painful cuts in benefits. Theyve left high and dry and they didnt hold up there end of the bargain. Couldnt let that happen. A single solitary republican vote, not one. People worked their whole lives. Why would they do that . Imagine they came along and say i want to get going. Democrats passed it in the bipartisan infrastructure law. You can have the strongest economy in the world. Can you believe we used to have the best infrastructure in the world and then fell to number 13 in the world. But the great real estate builder and in my predecessor it became a punchline. Its a decade and a headline chairman we are investing in america over 10 billion has been committed to pennsylvania and announced 70 million to improve 12. 3 miles of road to north broad street. Upgrading airports right here in philly and you got it, 95, ive got it. We are finally going to get that rail line from scranton to new york. [cheering] you think im joking. Im not joking. Its a big deal and economically it will be a big deal and guess whos going to build these projects . You are. Labor. [cheering] union labor, sheet metal workers, steel workers. We are providing good paying jobs where you dont need a College Degree to get a good job. The transition to electric vehicle future made in america, it will be made in america make it in america with American Products in American Labor for the most people know know is a federal law on the books 20 years ago i didnt know it either to be honest. 1933 the law says one congress appropriate money for the president to administer whether for Aircraft Carrier or federal highway, the president is supposed to hire American Workers and use only American Products but guess what for too long too many president s didnt insist on it. I am insisting on it. I was determined would never be in a position with supply chains broke down and they couldnt get the parts and products that needed so brought the supply chains home to invest in america and that is encouraging the private sector to do the same. 510 billion creating jobs instead of sending it overseas. Another chairman from one of the largest conductors in the world, we invented the semiconductor. They are investing 22 billion to make the chips here in america. Why america . No safer place in the world than the United States of america. You have the best workers in the world. [cheering] we are making things in america again with american factories. Corporations are shutting down across the country having worked in a particular fauci and labor was cheaper. Sending jobs overseas but we are not doing that anymore. We are bringing back pride across america. I believe americans owe able to work hard and raise their kids with a good paycheck. In my first two years, all the stuff, i cut the deficit 1. 7 trillion. [cheering and applauding] one more thing. Able to invest in new and still bring down the deficit and people pay their fair share. Would you looking of hundred zero making hold billion zero. Another. A minimum of 15 sure look how many do you think the tax sure is fair . Over 1000 billionaires in america, do you know what they pay . Eight present. You would take that in a heartbeat. They pay a lower rate can you and anyone. You pay enough, its time for big corporations to pay their fair share. No one making under 400,000 will see. Federal taxes go up a penny. I made my promise and ill keep it. The pandemic took more than a million, a lot of empty chairs when you sit down for thanksgiving. It wasnt that long ago 20 Million People were out of work but you didnt give up. Theres no quit in america. None. They keep telling us america is failing, they are wrong. America has the strongest economy in the world today, lowest inflation rate and its not because of me although our product helped, its you. The american people, your great determination, you never quit. Any goal weve ever set, weve never failed to accomplish and thats not going to change now. America is winning and the rest of the world does it. Friends and allies are looking to us. One of the most significant laws ever exposed to toxic metal and their families and we have only one obligation, equipped those who dissent into harms way. As part of my agenda to have the union. How many of you are veterans . A lot of veterans here. [applause] and obligation is sacred to prepare and equip you all. Weve taken the right steps for the future. The real hero is you. The people of philadelphia work and youre getting up every day and of long said its never a good bet against america and not today. We are still a country that believes in honesty and hard work and give everyone a fair shot because we are a country who believes in the beginning of the free world because small towns and cities across the country ordinary people to the most extraordinary things. Americas best days are ahead of us, not behind us. Its about the future and have never been more optimistic. We just remember who we are, the United States of america. Nothing beyond our capacity and may god protect our troops. You are the best. [applause] he tell me if i worked the rope will slow the parade so not going to do that. Is that right .
