[CNN 10] An Address To Congress | April 29, 2021

---

[영어 스크립트]

 

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 US 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 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 in 1790.

It had fewer than eleven hundred words.

The longest written speech was president jimmy carter's in 1981.

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.

 

[Biden speaking]

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 an eight-year program these are good-paying jobs that can't be

outsourced.

Nearly 90 percent of the infrastructure jobs created in

the 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.

 

[Carl speaking]

Okay as we mentioned another event

associated with the president's annual

message

is 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 response.

 

[Tim speaking]

Our president seems like a good man.

His speech was 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.

 

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.

 

[reporter talking]

screen later in the afternoon whoa whoa

whoa

what is going on

 

[Carl speaking]

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 masks.

So the moral of the story is whether you

are in the field or you're in the studio

you risk being downed by visitors.
