- Well, a liberal wishlist,big government waste,

job-killing tax hikes, andWashington in the middle

of your life from cradle to grave.

That's how Republican Senator, Tim Scott,

described PresidentBiden's plans for America.

And what's the price tag of those plans?

A toxic six trillion, that'sright, trillion dollars.

White House correspondent,Eric Philips, brings us this

recap of the president'sfirst speech to Congress.

- President Biden spokefor one hour, four minutes

spending the vast majorityof his time talking

about infrastructure,both physical and social.

First though, he touted hispandemic success stories.

- Now, after just 100 days,I can report to the nation

America is on the move again.

- [Eric] Right out of thegate, the president launched

into a 100 day laundry list of successes,

but not before recognizingthe visual history

of the two people behind him.

- Madam speaker, Madam vice president.

(members applauding)

No president has ever saidthose words from this podium.

No president's ever said those words.

And it's about time.

- [Eric] From there, Bidenpressed his pandemic playlist

capping it off with a plea.

- Go get vaccinated, America.

Go and get the vaccination.

- [Eric] Then came hisinfrastructure plans beginning

with the $2 trillion AmericanJobs Plan that he says

addresses infrastructure,jobs, and environment,

all in one fell swoop.

- There is simply no reason whythe blades for wind turbines

can't be built in Pittsburghinstead of Beijing.

No reason.(members applauding)

There's no reason why American

American workers can't lead the world

in the production of electricvehicles and batteries.

- [Eric] Next, the presidentlaid out his second

infrastructure layer,the $1.8 trillion plan

for American families.

It would provide universal preschool,

two years of free community college,

and extended family leave.

- How do we pay for myjobs and family plan?

I will not impose anytax increase on people

making less than $400,000.

But it's time for corporate America

and the wealthiest 1% ofAmericans that have just began

to pay their fair share.

- [Eric] A financial commitment targeted

by Republican Senator, Tim Scott

and part of his official response.

- It's a liberal wishlistof big government waste

plus, the biggest job-killing

tax hikes in a generation.

Tonight, we also heard abouta so-called family plan,

even more taxing, even more spending

to put Washington even morein the middle of your life

from the cradle to college.

- [Eric] The president sayshe's spent plenty of time

with president Xi Jinping

and he knows of his desirefor world dominance.

- I made absolutelyclear that we will defend

America's interests across the board.

- [Eric] Another international topic,

Biden doubled down on hisdecision to remove American troops

from Afghanistan by September.

- After 20 years of value,valor, and sacrifice,

it's time to bring those troops home.

- [Eric] Biden also urged Congress

to pass the Voting Rights Act,

legislation that wouldprotect the rights of dreamers

and the George Floyd Policing Act.

- Let's get it done nextmonth, by the first anniversary

of George Floyd's death.

- [Eric] In his response,Scott said the president is

heading in the wrong direction.

- A president who promisedto bring us together

should not be pushingagendas that tear us apart.

- Noticeably missing fromthe president's speech was

any elaboration on the crisisat the southern border.

It was clearly anaddress designed to pitch

his American Families Plan.

And next, he'll hit the roadto try and sell that plan

to the American people with stops

in both Georgia and Pennsylvania.

Eric Philips, CBN News.

- Well, thanks Eric.

Chief Political Analyst,David Brody, joins us now

for more on the president's speech.

David, the president wantsto spend $6 trillion.

Are Republicans gonnalet him get away with it?

- Well, and Pat, that $6trillion is just proposed

in the, in the first hundred days.

How much more does hehave in the hip pocket?

In terms of Republicansletting him get away with it,

on paper, no.

The problem is what areDemocrats gonna do when it comes

to budget reconciliation?

I mean, if we take allof the six trillion,

that first two trillion's already done.

It's in the bank, it'sbeing spent as we speak.

And that was done onbudget reconciliation.

That was the COVID stimulus bill.

And now we've got those $2 trillion more

on the infrastructure, andI put that in air quotes

'cause infrastructure apparentlymeans anything, nowadays.

Two trillion oninfrastructure and then the

American Families Planthat he's talking about.

So, I mean, this is, thisis just bizarre that,

that he's even doing thisbecause this is a lot more than

I think people, the centerleft, Joe Biden had promised

during the campaign trail.

But I will say this, hehad a key line last night

that people should pay attention to.

He said, "We, the peopleare the government."

Wait, what?

We, the people are the government?

I think that sayseverything you need to know

about what his mentality is,what this administration's

mentality is which is, indeed,

the government is here to help.

Well, Ronald Reagan, we rememberwhat Ronald Reagan said,

those are the worst or thoseare the most dangerous lines

you could ever hear,the most dangerous words

you can ever hear.

We're the federal governmentand we're here to help.

That's not good, at all.

And also other point, Pat.

He said the word freedomin the speech one time.

He said the word invest 15 times.

You can read into that whatyou can read into that.

- He also touted that so-called HR-1

which we know is a stalkinghorse for a takeover

of our electrical systemby the federal government

to take it away from state legislatures.

It's a horrible bill, yetthat was the first one that

Nancy Pelosi put on the table.

But he said, well, let's passit, like it's so important.

What do you think about that?

- Well, a couple of things.

HR-1, the only way HR-1 is gonna pass,

it would have, it's, you know,

it'll pass, it's already passed the House.

The only way it's gonna pass the Senate is

if they change the legislative filibuster

which means taking thatthreshold, as you know,

down from 60 to 50 votes.

Right now, Joe Manchin isthe key to, in essence,

saving America from it.

I mean, if Joe Manchin saysokay, then Democrats are gonna

rush HR-1 through, and DCstatehood, and the Equality Act,

and I can go on and on.

And so, so this is how important it is.

You know, it's interesting,Joe Biden talked about unity

so much as a candidate for president

and now he's invoking Jim Crow.

And I shouldn't even say invoking Jim Crow

he's actually saying thatRepublicans are trying

to invoke Jim Crow type laws in America.

How does, how does thathelp unify the country?

And that's why HR-1 has comearound because Democrats

believe that they have tofederalize elections, in essence,

to stop Republicans fromgoing back to Jim Crow.

You know, Pat, that wasn'ta State of the Union

technically, last night.

It was a joint session of Congress speech.

But the state of ourunion is deeply divided

and he had talked aboutAmerica is on the move

but conservatives would say America's

on the move, all right.

But America's on the move to the abyss.

That's what they think, today.

- Well, you know, the thingthat Tim Scott pointed

out is he had a billhaving to do with police

and it was stopped by afilibuster by the Democrats.

Isn't that, it's amazing isn't it?

- Yeah, it really is.

And Tim Scott's speech wasreally amazing last night.

He was able to weave his faith story.

I've talked to Tim Scott manytimes about his faith story.

You know, he was savedas a, as a youngster.

He was failing all of his classes.

He got mentored by amanager at Chick-fil-A.

It's a great story.

But yeah, he was able to weave that

plus he was actually sayingthat he was called Uncle Tom

and the N word by progressives.

By Progressives, and that'swhat he said last night.

And then we can go on about Tim Scott.

Look, I think he's a,he had so many different

and great lines last nightbut he was able to take that,

that idea of unity that JoeBiden talked about and said,

where's, there's been no unity, at all.

As a matter of fact, what Ithought what was interesting

one of his best lines was says

when he talked about Democratson the infrastructure bill

he says they can't even buildbridges to build bridges.

And you know, Tim Scott,an up-and-coming star.

He's been an up-and-comingstar for a long time.

But I agree with your assessmentat the top of the show.

A Ron DeSantis, Tim Scott ticket could be

extremely appetizingfor Republicans in 2024,

if President Trump decides not to.
