here is JOE BIDEN, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: One hundred days since I took 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. Fourth economic crisis since the Great Depression. The worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War. Now, after just 100 days, I can report to the nation America is on the move again. American`s Job Plan will 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 in 40 years that knows what it means to have a son serving in a war zone. Today we have service members serving in the same
war zones as their parents did. We have service members in Afghanistan who were 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. The very moment our adversaries were
certain we`d pull apart and fail, we came together, we united. With light and hope, we summoned a 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`ve told every world leader I`ve ever met with over the years. It`s never, ever, ever been a good bet to bet against American 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 set our mind 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.
