And - and the reinv- rea- the reca- recalibration of last month was another half a million. We added more jobs - over half a million jobs this last month. This morning’s report showed that we added - the economy is strong. And - but I reported today on the state of the economy. Next week, we’re reporting on the state of the Union. (Applause.) Union workers.īut before I begin, I want to say a word about the jobs report we talked about this morning. Thank you very much.Īnd thanks to the folks who run this plant and fix our water system here in Philly: AFSCME, plumbers and pipefitters, laborers - (applause) - all helping deliver clean water.Īnd, by the way, all this money we’re spending, it’s going to hire union workers. (Laughter.) But you’re doing a great job, Michael. He was down doing a great job in North Carolina, and we went - just stole him. I want to thank our EPA Administrator, Michael Regan. (Applause.)Īnd, look, the relentless work of other members of Congress are helping make so much progress. (Applause.)Īnd, Dwight Evans, you’ve been a good friend and a great supporter representing the community. But you’ve been a fighter not only for Pittsburgh but for the whole country. And you’ve only been there exactly one month. (Applause.) We’re going to make sure that happens.Īnd, John Fetterman, you’ve been a great partner, pal. And I still go home.Īnd I want to thank you for - we’re going to make sure, Bobby, that rail line goes back, like it was in 1970, from Scranton to New York. And he - we lived not very far from one another when I was up there as a kid. (Applause.)Īnd I’m mildly partial to Bob Casey. Josh, you’re going to be a great governor. (Laughter.)īut - but I’m happy to be here with the new governor, Josh Shapiro. THE PRESIDENT: (Laughs.) Well, I don’t know about if I still am. You know what I mean? They had to cover us, you know? I mean. You know, for years and years, the - when Delaware didn’t have its own television station before - ev- everything was Philadelphia, I was as popular in Philly as I was everywhere else. You’ve been a leader on this issue for a long time, because you know how much it matters.Īnd, Mayor Jim Kenney, thank you for the passport back into the city, man. Why don’t you go - (The Vice President and guests leave stage.) (Laughter.) The Secret Service looking - “Where the heck did that come from?” (Laughter.)īut anyway, thank you, Kamala. And my wife, who hates violence, goes, “Hit him! Get him!” Jumping up. But I told Bobby Casey this: We went to a Flyers game a couple years ago, and the fi- and the Secret Service is in a box next to us the - anyway. As the Mayor knows, she is one self-assured Philly fan. You know why? Otherwise, I’d be sleeping alone. Now, the good news is I happen to mean it. So, the first thing I’m going to say is: Go Eagles! Fly, Eagles, fly! (Applause.) What you went through, you’re changing the life of thousands and thousands and millions of kids in America. THE PRESIDENT: (Brings Nolyn Pace onstage.) I want you all to know - I want you to know, baby: You did so much for so many kids.
