August Jobs Report/American Rescue Plan challenge remark tweets.
The YouTube is 51 minutes and 43 seconds long. The Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo also attended. Their full remarks can be found here.
President Biden: (2:20) And just last week, we’ve seen major American companies — from First Solar to Corning to Micron — announce plans to invest tens of billions of dollars — tens of billions, that’s not a misstatement — tens of billions of dollars, expanding manufacturing in America. We’ve seen major global companies –like Toyota and Honda — announce that they are choosing America to invest and build. None of this is happening by accident. These investments and this recovery are a direct result of my economic plan. Some people gave up on American manufacturing. Not me. Not the Secretary. Not the American people.
President Biden: (2:09) Since I took office, the economy has created 668,000 manufacturing jobs — the strongest manufacturing job recovery since the 1950s.
President Biden: (1:29) The bottom line is: Jobs are up. Wages are up. People are back to work. And we are seeing some signs that inflation may be — may be — I’m not going to overpromise you — may be beginning to ease.
President Biden: (1:57)America has some really good news going into Labor Day weekend.
President Biden: (6:41) I’m so proud to announce 21 awardees, up on the screen here, who will each receive between $25 million and $65 million jobs to turn their plans into action.
President Biden: (3:49) And as a result, COVID no longer controls our lives. More Americans are working than ever. Businesses are growing. Schools are open. And today, we’re celebrating a signature program the American Rescue — of the American — within the American Rescue Plan that’s going to help communities that need it most. Look, it’s called the Build Back Better Regional Challenge. It’s centered around a vision that, as our economy recovers and modernizes, as science and technologies accelerate and change the nature of how we manufacture, we want workers and small businesses leading this transition — making sure they’re a part of it, not just being shunted aside — instead fearing that the transition will be leave them behind. We’re going to help them get retrained and many other things.
Saturday’s related tweet:
I debated whether to include this tweet here or wait until later, but since it happened at the conclusion of his remarks on Friday; I decided to share it here.
Reporter: Mr. President, do you consider — Mr. President, do you consider all Trump supporters to be a threat to the country?
President Biden: Come on. Look, guys. You keep trying to make that case. I don’t consider any Trump supporter a threat to the country. I do think anyone who calls for the use of violence, fails to condemn violence when it’s used, refuses to acknowledge when an election has been won, insists upon changing the way in which the rules — you count votes — that is a threat to democracy. Democracy. And everything we stand for — everything we stand for rests on the platform of democracy.
President Biden: (5:49) This American Rescue Plan program invests $1 billion — a total of $3 [billion] — but $1 billion to create jobs and opportunity for people in the places where they live and where they’ve worked their entire careers so they don’t have to leave.
President Biden: (2:43) None of this is happening by accident. These investments and this recovery are a direct result of my economic plan. Some people gave up on American manufacturing. Not me. Not the Secretary. Not the American people. “Make It in America” is no longer just a slogan; it’s a reality in my administration.
Sunday’s related tweet.
President Biden: (1:41) Couple that with the fact that gas prices have now fallen 80 straight days — the fastest decline in over a decade – and the price at the pump is now $1.20 a gallon less than it was the beginning of summer.
President Biden: (2:00) But we’re also seeing something else critical to the backbone of the American economy: manufacturing. Manufacturing is roaring back.
Thursday in prime-time, President Biden offered remarks on the “Soul of Our Nation.” The YouTube is 31 minutes and 2 seconds long. His remarks begin at the 6 minute and 37 mark. His full remarks can be found here.
Friday’s tweet.
President Biden: [from his remarks] (27:54): My fellow Americans, America is an idea — the most powerful idea in the history of the world. And it beats in the hearts of the people of this country. It beats in all of our hearts. It unites America. It is the American creed.
President Biden: [33 second video clip] What I want America to remember, what the soul of America is. The soul of America is the establishment of democracy, where everyone has an equal chance. Look, democracy is not guaranteed. Every generation has to work for it. We’re organized based on an idea. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women [women were not included separately :wink:] are created equal–endowed by their creator with–we’ve never lived up to it, but we’ve never walked away from it. And democracy is the means by which we can continue to pursue a better America. An America that is unlimited.
President Biden: (15:50) For a long time, we’ve told ourselves that American democracy is guaranteed, but it’s not. We have to defend it, protect it, stand up for it — each and every one of us.
Saturday’s related tweets.
President Biden: (24:47) Even in this moment, with all the challenges we face, I give you my word as a Biden: I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future. Not because of me, but because of who you are.
President Biden: (21:26) MAGA Republicans look at America and see carnage and darkness and despair. They spread fear and lies –- lies told for profit and power. But I see a very different America — an America with an unlimited future, an America that is about to take off. I hope you see it as well. Just look around.
Sunday’s related tweets.
President Biden: (9:42) Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.
President Biden: (10:48) And here, in my view, is what is true: MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people.
President Biden: (15:02) This is a nation that respects free and fair elections. We honor the will of the people. We do not deny it. (Applause.)
President Biden: (11:38) They promote authoritarian leaders, and they fan the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country.
The other tweets from Friday, Saturday, and Sunday…
The above comes from remarks he gave on Tuesday, August 30th 2022 regarding his Safer America Plan (released August 1st).
President Biden: (29:54) It’s time to ban these. It’s time to ban these weapons. We did it before, and we can do it again.
President Biden: (26:14) You have to ask — you have to act so our kids can learn to read in school, instead of learning to duck and cover. (Applause.) Literally, schools all across America, kids are showing up with psychological damage done to our kids, not just COVID. With COVID, what its impact — and how it’s impacting us. And on top of that, a child going to school — children see this on television.
President Biden: (36:22) So let me say this to my MAGA Republican friends in Congress: Don’t tell me you support law enforcement if you won’t condemn what happened on the 6th. (Applause.) Don’t tell me. Can’t do it.

From the fact-sheet The Inflation Reduction Act Supports Workers and Families
Snip:
The Inflation Reduction Act creates good-paying union jobs that will help reduce emissions across every sector of our economy. As President Biden promised when running for president, the law includes some of the strongest labor protections and incentives ever attached to clean energy tax credit programs. It will:
White House.gov. 08/19/2022.
- Incentivize prevailing wages. The expanded tax credits for energy efficient commercial buildings, new energy efficient homes, and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure will include bonus credits for businesses that pay prevailing wages and hire registered apprentices, ensuring local wages are not undercut by low-road contractors.
- Stop companies from ripping off workers. It will penalize companies that promise to pay prevailing wages but don’t follow through, and workers who are owed prevailing wages will receive the difference, plus interest.
- Make it in America. For the first time ever, the Inflation Reduction Act establishes Make it in America provisions for the use of American-made equipment for clean energy production. The law provides expanded clean energy tax credits for wind, solar, nuclear, clean hydrogen, clean fuels, and carbon capture, including bonus credits for businesses that pay workers a prevailing wage and use registered apprenticeship programs.
