strict party line votes. a package twists the definition of infrastructure beyond recognition. here is the president from his inauguration address promising unity. [video clip] pres. biden: this, bringing america together, uniting our people, uniting our nation, and i ask every american to join me in this cause. [applause] uniting to fight the foes we face, anger, resentment, and hatred, asked extremism, lawlessness, violence, disease, joblessness, and hopelessness. with unity, we can do great things, important things. we can right wrongs we could put people to work in the good jobs. we can teach our children in safe schools. we can overcome the deadly virus. we can reward work and rebuild the middle class and make health care secure for all. we can live a racial justice. and we can make america once again a leading force for good in the world. i know speaking of unity can feel like a fantasy these days. i know the forces that divide us are deep and they are real. but i als
in principle, you can t get it done and you have to be creative and think about the future of those grandkids out there and what kind of future can they live under and how do you bring them together to he who they are, each other? they have to live under this and i would make one other point. their legacy, if you look at them who signed a peace agreement, killed by his own people. and he was almost killed by these people. you look at people who made a tremendous offer at camp david and those that reach out for peace are willing to take the risk in this part of the world and the legacy isn t there either. they are certainly not appreciated immediately after and that is something that we have to change and it s going to take a lot of courage on either side to take the risk and may be to compromise as well. there can t be a solution where one side is a winner and another is a loser. sir? we know that the country is dysfunctional. the question is beside the middle east, do
