502 1873 23785 32422 78.63 5.45
1 1 4 5 97.03 0.72 How you doing, man?
2 1 3 3 119.19 -2.62 I'm well.
3 1 16 21 79.56 6.14 Well, first of all, thank you for doing this and looking forward to this, Mr. President.
4 5 120 170 62.63 10.49 The American people have a right to have a say in who the Supreme Court nominee is and that say occurs when they vote for United States Senators and when they vote for the President of United States. They're not going to get that chance now because we're in the middle of an election already. The election has already started. Tens of thousands of people already voted and so the thing that should happen is we should wait. We should wait and see what the outcome of this election is because that's the only way the American people get to express their view is by who they elect as President and who they elect as Vice President.
5 9 167 222 75.54 7.33 Now, what's at stake here is the President's made it clear, he wants to get rid of the Affordable Care Act. He's been running on that, he ran on that and he's been governing on that. He's in the Supreme Court right now trying to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, which will strip 20 million people from having health insurance now, if it goes into court. And the justice, I'm not opposed to the justice, she seems like a very fine person. But she's written, before she went in the bench, which is her right, that she thinks that the Affordable Care Act is not Constitutional. The other thing that's on the court, and if it's struck down, what happens? Women's rights are fundamentally changed. Once again, a woman could pay more money because she has a pre-existing condition of pregnancy. They're able to charge women more for the same exact procedure a man gets.
6 5 75 116 60.76 8.51 And that ended when we, in fact, passed the Affordable Care Act, and there's a hundred million people who have pre-existing conditions and they'll be taken away as well. Those pre-existing conditions, insurance companies are going to love this. And so it's just not appropriate to do this before this election. If he wins the election and the Senate is Republican, then he goes forward. If not, we should wait until February.
7 1 7 11 66.79 5.68 He's elected to the next election.
8 1 5 6 100.24 0.52 That's simply not true.
9 1 2 5 -6.69 14.69 Open discussion.
10 7 66 94 76.77 4.89 Number one, he knows what I proposed. What I proposed is that we expand Obamacare and we increase it. We do not wipe any. And one of the big debates we had with 23 of my colleagues trying to win the nomination that I won, were saying that Biden wanted to allow people to have private insurance still. They can. They do. They will under my proposal.
11 1 5 6 100.24 0.52 That is simply a lie.
12 2 11 16 78.20 3.72 The party is me. Right now, I am the Democratic Party.
13 1 7 11 66.79 5.68 I am the Democratic Party right now.
14 6 77 105 78.45 5.51 The platform of the Democratic Party is what I, in fact, approved of, what I approved of. Now, here's the deal. The deal is that it's going to wipe out pre-existing conditions. And, by the way, the 200,000 people that have died on his watch, how many of those have survived? Well, there's seven million people that contracted COVID. What does it mean for them going forward if you strike down the Affordable Care Act?
15 1 7 9 90.96 2.31 I'm happy to talk about this.
16 1 11 13 95.69 2.65 You're not going to be able to shut him up.
17 4 44 53 93.77 2.91 Let me finish. The point is that the President also is opposed to Roe V. Wade. That's on the ballot as well and the court, in the court, and so that's also at stake right now. And so the election is all.
18 1 8 9 103.54 0.80 It's on the ballot in the court.
19 1 3 3 119.19 -2.62 In the court.
20 1 9 12 84.90 3.65 Donald would you just be quiet for a minute.
21 1 2 2 120.21 -3.01 All right.
22 1 2 3 77.91 2.89 Good healthcare.
23 1 5 6 100.24 0.52 He has not done healthcare.
24 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 Yes.
25 1 3 3 119.19 -2.62 It is not.
26 6 67 105 62.92 7.26 It does not. It's only for those people who are so poor they qualify for Medicaid they can get that free in most States, except Governors who want to deny people who are poor Medicaid. Anyone who qualifies for Medicaid would automatically be enrolled in the public option. The vast majority of the American people would still not be in that option. Number one. Number two.
27 1 2 2 120.21 -3.01 Look, hey.
28 2 18 22 94.30 2.34 I'm not going to listen to him. The fact of the matter is I beat Bernie Sanders.
29 1 10 10 112.09 0.11 I beat him by a whole hell of a lot.
30 1 8 11 82.39 3.76 I'm here standing facing you, old buddy.
31 1 6 6 116.15 -1.45 All he knows how to do.
32 3 19 25 89.09 2.41 Look he's the deal. I got very lucky. I'm going to get very lucky tonight as well.
33 1 8 10 92.97 2.28 And tonight I'm going to make sure.
34 4 38 46 94.78 2.40 Because here's the deal, here's the deal. The fact is that everything he's saying so far is simply a lie. I'm not here to call out his lies. Everybody knows he's a liar.
35 1 6 6 116.15 -1.45 God, I want to make sure.
36 1 9 9 113.10 -0.28 No, he doesn't know how to do that.
37 1 10 10 112.09 0.11 The wrong guy, the wrong night, at the wrong time.
38 1 6 10 59.75 6.42 There is no manifesto, number one.
39 1 2 3 77.91 2.89 Number two.
40 1 2 3 77.91 2.89 Number two.
41 1 15 19 84.45 5.21 I'll tell you what, he is not for any help for people needing healthcare.
42 5 62 84 79.63 5.23 Because he, in fact, already has costs 10 million people their healthcare that they had from their employers because of his recession. Number one. Number two, there are 20 million people getting healthcare through Obamacare now that he wants to take it away. He won't ever look you in the eye and say that's what he wants to do. Take it away.
43 2 13 13 115.64 -1.25 He doesn't know how. He doesn't know how to do that.
44 1 6 9 73.85 4.45 He has never offered a plan.
45 1 6 7 102.05 0.52 He has no plan for healthcare.
46 8 68 91 84.99 3.52 He sends out wishful thinking. He has Executive Orders that have no power. He hasn't lowered drug costs for anybody. He's been promising a healthcare plan since he got elected. He has none, like almost everything else he talks about. He does not have a plan. He doesn't have a plan. And the fact is this man doesn't know what he's talking about..
47 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 Sure.
48 5 39 53 83.95 3.49 Whatever position I take on that, that'll become the issue. The issue is the American people should speak. You should go out and vote. You're voting now. Vote and let your Senators know strongly how you feel.
49 1 2 2 120.21 -3.01 Vote now.
50 1 10 13 86.71 3.65 Make sure you, in fact, let people know, your Senators.
51 1 8 11 82.39 3.76 I'm not going to answer the question.
52 1 5 5 117.16 -1.84 Will you shut up, man?
53 1 4 8 33.58 9.57 This is so un-Presidential.
54 2 12 18 73.85 4.45 That was really a productive segment, wasn't it? Keep yapping, man.
55 1 3 3 119.19 -2.62 They sure do.
56 19 157 209 85.83 3.34 Good luck. 200,000 dead. As you said, over seven million infected in the United States. We, in fact, have 4% of the world's population, 20% of the deaths. 40,000 people a day are contracting COVID. In addition to that, about between 750 and 1000 people a day are dying. When he was presented with that number, he said, "It is what it is." Well, it is what it is because you are who you are. That's why it is. The President has no plan. He hasn't laid out anything. He knew all the way back in February how serious this crisis was. He knew it was a deadly disease. What did he do? He's on tape as acknowledging he knew it. He said he didn't tell us or give people a warning of it because he didn't want to panic the American people. You don't panic. He panicked. In addition to that, what did he do?
57 2 41 53 76.67 7.66 He went in and we were insisting that the people we had in the ground in China should be able to go to Wuhan and determine for themselves how dangerous this was. He did not even ask Xi to do that.
58 6 47 57 96.28 1.78 He told us what a great job Xi was doing. He said we owe him debt of gratitude for being so transparent with us. And what did he do then? He then did nothing. He waited and waited and waited. He still doesn't have a plan.
59 6 112 145 78.36 6.97 I laid out back in March, exactly what we should be doing. And I laid out again in July, what we should be doing. We should be providing all the protective gear possible. We should be providing the money the House has passed in order to be able to go out and get people the help they need to keep their businesses open. Open schools cost a lot of money. You should get out of your bunker and get out of the sand trap in your golf course and go in the Oval Office and bring together the Democrats and Republicans and fund what needs to be done now to save lives.
60 2 15 15 114.62 -0.86 I know how to do the job. I know how to get the job done.
61 1 3 4 90.99 1.31 14,000 people died, not 200,000.
62 5 92 114 83.33 6.21 And there was no one ... We didn't shut down the economy. This is his economy he shut down. The reason it's shut down is because, look, you folks at home. How many of you got up this morning and had an empty chair at the kitchen table because someone died of COVID? How many of you are in a situation where you lost your mom or dad and you couldn't even speak to them, you had a nurse holding a phone up so you could in fact say goodbye?
63 7 79 92 96.86 2.55 His own CDC Director says we could lose as many as another 200,000 people between now and the end of the year. And he said, if we just wear a mask, we can save half those numbers. Just a mask. And by the way, in terms of the whole notion of a vaccine, we're for a vaccine, but I don't trust him at all. Nor do you. I know you don't. What we trust is a scientist.
64 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 God.
65 1 8 8 114.12 -0.67 This is the same man who told you.
66 5 44 54 94.08 2.32 ... by Easter, this would be gone away. By the warm weather, it'd be gone. Miraculous, like a miracle. And by the way, maybe you could inject some bleach in your arm, and that would take care of it. This is the same man.
67 5 65 88 79.10 5.46 So here's the deal. This man is talking about a vaccine. Every serious company is talking about maybe having a vaccine done by the end of the year, but the distribution of that vaccine will not occur until sometime beginning of the middle of next year to get it out, if we get the vaccine. And pray God we will. Pray God we will.
68 2 21 28 83.38 4.24 No more than the question you just asked him. You pointed out he puts pressure and disagrees with his own scientists.
69 1 2 5 -6.69 14.69 Everybody knows.
70 4 17 19 107.97 -0.74 Well, no, no. You can trust the scientist. She didn't say that. You can trust the.
71 4 47 55 95.91 2.80 Yes. Well, that's what he's going to try to do, but there's thousands of scientists out there, like here at this great hospital that don't work for him. Their job doesn't depend on him. They're the people ... And by the way.
72 1 3 3 119.19 -2.62 By the way.
73 7 104 136 81.12 5.64 Do you believe for a moment what he's telling you in light of all the lies he's told you about the whole issue relating to COVID? He still hasn't even acknowledged that he knew this was happening, knew how dangerous it was going to be back in February, and he didn't even tell you. He's on record as saying it. He panicked or he just looked at the stock market. One of the two. Because guess what? A lot of people died and a lot more are going to die unless he gets a lot smarter, a lot quicker.
74 1 5 5 117.16 -1.84 Oh, give me a break.
75 1 6 7 102.05 0.52 Well, let's have this debate.
76 4 54 70 83.47 4.97 Because he doesn't have a plan. If I were running it, I'd know what the plan is. You've got to provide these businesses the ability to have the money to be able to reopen with the PPE, as well as with the sanitation they need. You have to provide them classic.
77 1 7 8 103.04 0.63 Will he just shush for a minute?
78 6 39 53 85.27 2.98 Nancy Pelosi and Schumer, they have a plan. He won't even meet with them. The Republicans won't meet in the Senate. He sits in his golf course. Well, I mean, literally, think about it. Think about it.
79 1 8 10 92.97 2.28 You just admitted you'd shut it down.
80 1 6 7 102.05 0.52 I got to respond to that.
81 1 6 7 102.05 0.52 I got to respond to that.
82 1 4 5 97.03 0.72 Just like your rally.
83 2 19 30 63.61 6.75 Look, the way to open businesses is give them the wherewithal to be able open. We provided money, the.
84 4 43 60 77.88 5.07 Well, masks make a big difference. His own head of the CDC said if we just wore masks between now, if everybody wore a mask and social distanced between now and January, we'd probably save up to 100,000 lives. It matters. It matters.
85 2 10 18 49.48 7.60 No serious person has said the opposite. No serious person.
86 1 6 8 87.95 2.48 He did not say the opposite.
87 8 79 94 96.15 2.30 By the way, did you see one of the last big rallies he had? A reporter came up to him to ask him a question, he said, "No, no, no. Stand back, put on your mask, put on a mask. Have you been tested? I'm way far away from those other people." That's what he said, "I'm going to be okay." He's not worried about you. He's not worried about the people out there.
88 2 5 8 68.94 4.27 No negative effect. Come on.
89 3 33 50 67.49 6.58 Yes, I would. He's been totally irresponsible the way in which he has handled the social distancing and people wearing masks, basically encouraged them not to. He's a fool on this.
90 4 73 109 61.99 9.15 The difference is millionaires and billionaires like him in the middle of the COVID crisis have done very well. Billionaires have made another $300 billion because of his profligate tax proposal, and he only focused on the market. But you folks at home, you folks living in Scranton and Claymont and all the small towns and working class towns in America, how well are you doing? This guy paid a total of $750 in taxes.
91 4 59 82 74.28 6.56 Do I get my time back? The fact is that he has in fact, worked on this in a way that he's going to be the first president of the United States to leave office, having fewer jobs in his administration than when he became president. Fewer jobs than when he became president. First one in American history.
92 7 152 201 72.92 8.48 Secondly, the people who have lost their jobs are those people who have been on the front lines. Those people who have been saving our lives, those people who have been out there dying. People who've been putting themselves in the way to make sure that we could all try to make it. And the idea that he is insisting that we go forward and open when you have almost half the states in America with a significant increase in COVID deaths and COVID cases in the United States of America, and he wants to open it up more. Why is he want to open it up? Why does he take care of the ... You can't fix the economy until you fix the COVID crisis. And he has no intention of doing anything about making it better for you all at home in terms of your health and your safety.
93 10 93 128 80.96 4.28 Schools. Why aren't schools open? Because it costs a lot of money to open them safely. They were going to give, his administration going to give the teachers and school students masks, and then they decided no, couldn't do that because it's not a national emergency. Not a national emergency. They've done nothing to help small businesses. Nothing. They're closing. One in six is now gone. He ought to get on the job and take care of the needs of the American people so we can open safely.
94 1 5 6 100.24 0.52 People want to be safe.
95 1 5 6 100.24 0.52 People want to be safe.
96 1 5 6 100.24 0.52 Show us your tax returns.
97 1 5 6 100.24 0.52 Show us your tax returns.
98 1 4 6 75.88 3.67 Release your tax return.
99 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 When?
100 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 In ?
101 6 77 96 88.33 4.13 Yeah, I do want to respond. Look, the tax code that put him in a position that he pays less tax than on the money a school teacher makes is because of him ... He says he's smart because he can take advantage of the tax code. And he does take advantage of the tax code. That's why I'm going to eliminate the Trump tax cuts. And I'm going to eliminate those tax cuts.
102 2 20 23 99.40 1.88 And make sure that we invest in the people who in fact need the help. People out there need help.
103 1 5 8 66.40 5.24 Because you weren't president.
104 1 9 13 75.50 4.96 Because you weren't president and screwing things up.
105 2 11 17 70.51 4.79 You're the worst president America has ever had. Come on.
106 4 92 132 62.11 10.31 Well, just take a look at what is the analysis done by Wall Street firms, points out that my economic plan would create 7 million more jobs than his in four years, number one. And number two, it would create an additional $1 trillion in economic growth, because it would be about buying American. The federal government spends $600 billion a year on everything from ships, to steel, to buildings and the like. And under my proposal, we're going to make sure that every penny of that has to be made by a company.
107 4 47 69 70.71 6.32 By the way, I'm going to eliminate a significant number of the taxes. I'm going to make the corporate tax 28%. It shouldn't be 21%. You have 91 companies federal, I mean, the fortune 500, who don't pay a single penny in tax making billions of dollars.
108 1 11 14 88.00 3.72 Because you in fact passed that, that was your tax proposal.
109 1 5 5 117.16 -1.84 Yeah, you got it done.
110 1 2 5 -6.69 14.69 The economy.
111 1 3 4 90.99 1.31 Let me finish.
112 1 7 12 54.70 7.37 Not lower tax for the American people.
113 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 Look.
114 4 44 72 57.23 8.01 ... we inherited the worst recession, short of a depression in American history. I was asked to bring it back. We were able to have an economic recovery that created the jobs you're talking about. We handed him a booming economy, he blew it.
115 1 3 3 119.19 -2.62 He blew it.
116 2 18 28 66.10 6.28 Yeah, because what he did, even before COVID, manufacturing went in the hole. Manufacturing went in a hole.
117 2 4 6 77.91 2.89 ... number one. Number two.
118 1 2 3 77.91 2.89 Number three.
119 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 No.
120 1 2 2 120.21 -3.01 This guy.
121 1 3 3 119.19 -2.62 We did not.
122 1 10 15 69.78 6.01 I'm the guy that brought back the automobile industry.
123 6 38 46 98.00 1.16 I was asked to bring back Chrysler and General Motors. He brought them back right here in the state of Ohio and Michigan. He blew it. They're gone. He blew it. And in fact, they're gone.
124 1 4 4 118.18 -2.23 That is not true.
125 8 65 81 93.16 2.28 And so you take a look at what he's actually done. He's done very little. His trade deals are the same way. He talks about these great trade deals. He talks about the art of the deal. China's perfected the art of the steel. We have a higher deficit with China now than we did before. We have the highest trade deficit.
126 1 2 4 35.61 8.79 ... with Mexico.
127 1 4 4 118.18 -2.23 That is not true.
128 1 5 5 117.16 -1.84 None of that is true.
129 1 5 5 117.16 -1.84 None of that is true.
130 1 2 4 35.61 8.79 Is totally.
131 3 8 18 13.78 12.00 Totally discredited. Totally discredited. And by the way.
132 1 2 2 120.21 -3.01 Mr. Vice.
133 1 4 4 118.18 -2.23 That is not true.
134 1 5 5 117.16 -1.84 It is not a fact.
135 1 5 10 32.56 9.96 It's been totally discredited.
136 1 7 10 78.87 4.00 My son did nothing wrong at Barisma.
137 2 22 33 68.77 6.40 He doesn't want to let me answer, because he knows I have the truth. His position has been totally thoroughly discredited.
138 1 3 3 119.19 -2.62 And you can.
139 2 9 15 61.27 5.83 by everybody. Well, by the media, by our allies.
140 1 4 4 118.18 -2.23 By the World Bank.
141 2 11 18 62.82 5.86 By everyone, has discredited. And matter of fact Matter of fact.
142 1 7 12 54.70 7.37 Even the people who testified under oath.
143 1 4 7 54.73 6.62 Even the people under.
144 1 17 25 65.17 8.39 ... testified under oath in his administration said I did my job and I did it very well.
145 1 4 7 54.73 6.62 I did it honorably.
146 1 11 12 103.38 1.57 Well, I'll give you the list of the people who.
147 1 17 21 85.07 5.62 I'm sure that you've already fired most of them, because they did a good job.
148 1 4 4 118.18 -2.23 Well, here's the.
149 2 16 19 98.25 1.54 Well, it's hard to get any word in with this clown. Excuse me, this person.
150 2 4 6 77.91 2.89 No, no. Mr. President.
151 1 5 6 100.24 0.52 That is simply not true.
152 5 34 45 87.96 2.68 Look, here's the deal. We want to talk about families and ethics. I don't want to do that. I mean, his family, we could talk about all night. His family's already.
153 1 5 5 117.16 -1.84 And that's such a.
154 6 47 67 78.28 4.29 This is not about my family or his family. It's about your family, the American people. That's not true. It doesn't want to talk about what you need. You, the American people, it's about you. That's what we're talking about here.
155 1 5 5 117.16 -1.84 He didn't take that.
156 1 4 5 97.03 0.72 Try to be honest.
157 1 5 8 66.40 5.24 That is absolutely not true.
158 1 5 5 117.16 -1.84 That's a good point.
159 9 127 190 65.95 7.57 It's about equity and equality. It's about decency. It's about the constitution. And we have never walked away from trying to require equity for everyone, equality for the whole of America. But we've never accomplished it, but we've never walked away from it like he has done. It is true, the reason I got in the race is when those people ... Close your eyes, remember what those people look like coming out of the fields, carrying torches, their veins bulging, just spewing anti-Semitic bile and accompanied by the Ku Klux Klan. A young woman got killed and they asked the president what he thought. He said, "There were very fine people on both sides." No president's ever said anything like that..
160 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 Now.
161 7 119 152 81.52 6.11 ... second point I'd make to you, is that when Floyd was killed, when Mr. Floyd was killed, there was a peaceful protest in front of the White House. What did he do? He came out of his bunker, had the military use tear gas on them so he could walk across to a church and hold up a Bible. And then what happened after that? The Bishop of that very church said that it was a disgrace. The general who was with him said all he ever wants to do is divide people, not unite people at all. This is a president who has used everything as a dog whistle, to try to generate racists hatred, racist division.
162 9 99 142 74.32 5.63 This is a man who, in fact, you talk about helping African-Americans, one in 1000 African Americans has been killed because of the coronavirus. And if he doesn't do something quickly, by the end of the year, one in 500 will have been killed. One in 500 African Americans. This man is as a savior of African-Americans? This man cares at all? This man's done virtually nothing. Look, the fact is that you have to look at what he talks about. You have to look at what he did. And what he did has been disastrous for the African-American community.
163 1 4 5 97.03 0.72 I've never said.
164 8 131 181 73.32 7.10 Yes, there is. There's systemic injustice in this country, in education and work and in law enforcement and the way in which it's enforced. But look, the vast majority of police officers are good, decent, honorable men and women. They risk their lives every day to take care of us, but there are some bad apples. And when they occur, when they find them, they have to be sorted out. They have to be held accountable. They have to be held accountable. And what I'm going to do as President of the United States is call together an entire group of people at the White House, everything from the civil rights groups, to the police officers, to the police chiefs, and we're going to work this out.
165 6 84 119 72.78 6.59 We're going to work this out. So we changed the way in which we have more transparency, in when these things happen. These cops aren't happy to see what happened to George Floyd. These cops aren't happy to see what happened to Breonna Taylor. Most don't like it, but we have to have a system where people are held accountable when ... And by the way, violence in response is never appropriate, never appropriate. Peaceful protest is, violence is never appropriate.
166 1 5 7 83.32 2.88 That is not peaceful protest.
167 2 8 12 75.88 3.67 Nobody's doing that. He's the racist.
168 2 11 12 108.96 -0.57 Here's the deal. I know a lot more about this-.
169 14 182 249 77.90 5.62 The fact is that there is racial insensitivity. People have to be made aware of what other people feel like, what insults them, what is demeaning to them. It's important people know. Many people don't want to hurt other people's feelings, but it makes a big difference. It makes a gigantic difference in the way a child is able to grow up and have a sense of self-esteem. It's a little bit like how this guy and his friends look down on so many people. They look down their nose on people like Irish Catholics, like me, who grow up in Scranton. They look down on people who don't have money. They look down on people who are of a different faith. They looked down on people who are a different color. In fact, we're all Americans. The only way we're going to bring this country together is bring everybody together. There's nothing we cannot do, if we do it together. We can take this on and we can defeat racism in American.
170 1 3 3 119.19 -2.62 Oh my Lord.
171 1 3 6 34.59 9.18 This is ridiculous.
172 1 2 8 -133.59 32.39 Absolutely ridiculous.
173 1 2 4 35.61 8.79 Violent crime.
174 2 7 8 106.60 -0.74 I'm in favor of law. You-.
175 1 10 14 78.25 4.83 Law and order with justice, where people get treated fairly.
176 2 21 28 83.38 4.24 And the fact of the matter is, violent crime went down 17%, 15% in our administration. It's gone up on his watch.
177 1 12 14 95.96 2.86 He wouldn't know a suburb unless you took a wrong turn.
178 8 109 150 76.58 5.96 I was raised in the suburbs. This is not 1950. All these dog whistles and racism don't work anymore. Suburbs are by and large integrated. There's many people today driving their kids to soccer practice and/or black and white and Hispanic in the same car as there have been any time in the past, what really is a threat to the suburbs and their safety is his failure to deal with COVID. They're dying in the suburbs. His failure to deal with the environment, they're being flooded, they're being burned out because his refusal to do anything. That's why the suburbs are in trouble.
179 8 131 182 72.68 7.19 Look, what I support are the police having the opportunity to deal with the problems they face and I'm totally opposed to defunding the police offices. As a matter of fact police, local police, the only one defunding in his budget calls for a $400 million cut in local law enforcement assistance. They need more assistance. They need when they show up for a 9-11 call to have someone with them as a psychologist or psychiatrist to keep them from having to use force and be able to talk people down. We have to have community policing like we had before where the officers get to know the people in the communities. That's when crime went down, it didn't go up. It went down. And so we have to be ...
180 1 4 4 118.18 -2.23 That is not true.
181 1 4 4 118.18 -2.23 That's not true.
182 1 8 10 92.97 2.28 We don't have time to do anything.
183 5 45 67 71.74 5.49 I don't hold public office. Now I am a former vice president. I've made it clear. I've made it clear in my public statements that the violence should be prosecuted. It should be prosecuted and anyone who committed it should be prosecuted.
184 1 16 16 106.00 2.45 They can in fact take care of it if he just stay out of the way.
185 1 22 30 69.14 9.08 And by the way his own former spokesperson said, u201cRiots and chaos and violence help he cause.u201d That's what this is all about.
186 1 2 2 120.21 -3.01 I do.
187 1 4 6 75.88 3.67 I think Kellyanne Conway.
188 1 3 3 119.19 -2.62 She said that.
189 4 63 85 76.71 6.47 Here's the point, the point is that that's why he keeps trying to rile everything up. He doesn't want to calm things down instead of going in and talking to people and saying, u201cLet's get everybody together. Figure out how to deal with this.u201d What's he do? He just pours gasoline in the fire constantly and every single solitary time.
190 1 6 6 116.15 -1.45 Say it, do it say it.
191 1 16 30 31.97 12.78 He's own FBI Director said unlike white supremacist, Antifa is an idea not an organization.
192 2 10 14 83.32 2.88 ... not a militia. That's what his FBI Director said.
193 2 20 33 57.10 7.78 Every body in your administration tells you the true, it's a bad idea. You have no idea about anything.
194 8 97 140 72.43 6.17 Under this president, we become weaker, sicker, poor, more divided and more violent. When I was vice president, we inherited a recession. I was asked to fix it. I did. We left him a booming economy and he caused the recession. With regard to being weaker, the fact is that I've gone head to head with Putin and made it clear to him we're not going to take any of his stuff. He's Putin's puppy. He still refuses to even say anything to Putin about the bounty on the heads of American soldiers.
195 1 5 5 117.16 -1.84 By the way, my son ...
196 1 5 6 100.24 0.52 He never keeps his word.
197 1 5 6 100.24 0.52 Can you get back 30 seconds?
198 16 153 204 84.33 3.87 So thirdly, we're poor. The billionaires have gotten much more wealthy by a tune of over $3 - $400 billion more just since COVID. You in the home, you got less you're in more trouble than you were before. In terms of being more violent. When we were in office there were 15% less violence in America than there is today. He's President United States. It's on his watch. And with regard to more divided the nation, it can't stay divided. We can't be this way. And speaking of my son, the way you talk about the military, the way you talk about them being losers and being and just being suckers. My son was in Iraq. He spent a year there. He got the Brown Star. He got the Conspicuous Service Medal. He was not a loser. He was a Patriot and the people left behind there were heroes.
199 1 3 4 90.99 1.31 And I resent.
200 1 13 19 69.99 6.73 I'm talking about my son, Beau Biden, you're talking about Hunter?
201 1 9 15 56.70 7.59 That's not true he was not dishonorably discharged.
202 1 5 5 117.16 -1.84 None of that is true.
203 1 4 4 118.18 -2.23 That is not true.
204 5 38 43 103.39 0.73 My son like a lot of people at home had a drug problem. He's overtaking it. He's fixed it. He's worked on it. And I'm proud of him, I'm proud of my son.
205 2 13 19 76.59 4.19 He wasn't given tens of millions of dollars. It was all discredited.
206 2 9 15 61.27 5.83 That is not true. That report is totally discredited.
207 2 20 32 61.33 7.19 Mitt Romney on that committee said it wasn't worth taxpayer's money. That report was written for political reason.
208 1 3 3 119.19 -2.62 So would I.
209 1 18 29 52.27 10.44 Why have you relaxed fuel economy standards that are going to create more pollution from cars and trucks?
210 9 199 280 65.36 9.64 He's absolutely wrong, number one. Number two, if in fact, during our administration in the recovery act, I was in charge able to bring down the cost of renewable energy to cheaper than are as cheap as coal and gas and oil. Nobody's going to build another coal fired plant in America. No one's going to build another oil fire plant in America. They're going to move to renewable energy. Number one, number two, we're going to make sure that we are able to take the federal fleet and turn it into a fleet that's run on their electric vehicles. Making sure that we can do that, we're going to put 500,000 charging stations in all of the highways that we're going to be building in the future. We're going to build a economy that in fact is going to provide for the ability of us to take 4 million buildings and make sure that they in fact are weatherized in a way that in fact will they'll emit significantly less gas and oil because the heat will not be going out. There's so many things that we can do ...
211 14 195 278 72.09 6.66 Gas and oil because the heat will not be going out. There's so many things that we can do now to create thousands and thousands of jobs. We can get to net zero, in terms of energy production, by 2035. Not only not costing people jobs, creating jobs, creating millions of good-paying jobs. Not 15 bucks an hour, but prevailing wage, by having a new infrastructure that in fact, is green. And the first thing I will do, I will rejoin the Paris Accord. I will join the Paris Accord because with us out of it, look what's happening. It's all falling apart. And talk about someone who has no relationship with foreign policy. The rainforests of Brazil are being torn down, are being ripped down. More carbon is absorbed in that rainforest than every bit of carbon that's emitted in the United States. Instead of doing something about that, I would be gathering up and making sure we had the countries of the world coming up with $20 billion, and say, "Here's $20 billion. Stop tearing down the forest. And If you don't, then you're going to have significant economic consequences."
212 6 60 75 90.94 3.06 Well, he hasn't drawn a line. He wants to make sure that methane's not a problem. You can now emit more methane without it being a problem. Methane. This is a guy who says that you don't have to have mileage standards for automobiles that exist now. This is the guy who says that, the fact that.
213 2 9 9 117.67 -2.03 It's all true. And here's the deal.
214 1 7 10 78.87 4.00 I'm talking about the Biden plan.
215 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 No.
216 1 3 3 119.19 -2.62 That is not.
217 1 2 2 120.21 -3.01 Not true.
218 1 2 2 120.21 -3.01 Not true.
219 1 2 2 120.21 -3.01 Not true.
220 1 2 3 77.91 2.89 Simply ... Look.
221 1 6 7 102.05 0.52 That is simply not the case.
222 2 19 25 85.88 3.64 What it's going to do, it's going to create thousands and millions of jobs. Good paying jobs.
223 1 8 8 114.12 -0.67 He doesn't know how to do that.
224 4 74 101 72.59 7.73 The fact is, it's going to create millions of good paying jobs, and these tax incentives for people to weatherize, which he wants to get rid of. It's going to make the economy much safer. Look how much we're paying now to deal with the hurricanes, deal with ... By the way, he has an answer for hurricanes. He said, maybe we should drop a nuclear weapon on them, and they may.
225 1 5 5 117.16 -1.84 Yeah, he did say that.
226 1 5 5 117.16 -1.84 And here's the deal.
227 9 118 154 83.12 4.92 ... we're going to be in a position where we can create hard, hard, good jobs by making sure the environment is clean, and we all are in better shape. We spend billions of dollars now, billions of dollars, on floods, hurricanes, rising seas. We're in real trouble. Look what's happened just in the Midwest with these storms that come through and wipe out entire sections and counties in Iowa. They didn't happen before. They're because of global warming. We make up 15% of the world's problem. But the rest of the world, we've got to get them to come along. That's why we have to get back into the Paris Accord.
228 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 For 47.
229 2 13 13 115.64 -1.25 That is not my plan. The Green New Deal is not my plan..
230 1 5 5 117.16 -1.84 I did not say that.
231 2 4 4 120.21 -3.01 Play it. Play it.
232 1 13 18 76.50 5.82 The final question is, I can't remember which of all his rantings.
233 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 Yeah.
234 1 2 5 -6.69 14.69 The economy.
235 2 26 31 92.77 3.55 The Green New Deal will pay for itself as we move forward. We're not going to build plants that, in fact, are great polluting plants.
236 1 2 3 77.91 2.89 Pardon me?
237 1 9 10 103.70 1.03 No, I don't support the Green New Deal.
238 1 2 3 77.91 2.89 I support.
239 1 9 12 84.90 3.65 I support the Biden plan that I put forward.
240 1 15 20 78.81 5.99 The Biden plan, which is different than what he calls the radical Green New Deal.
241 9 191 261 69.69 8.81 Prepare to let people vote. They should go to iwillvote.com, decide how they're going to vote, when they're going to vote, and what means by which they're going to vote. His own Homeland Security director, and as well as the FBI director, says that there is no evidence at all that mail-in ballots are a source of being manipulated and cheating. They said that. The fact is that there are going to be millions of people because of COVID that are going to be voting by mail-in ballots like he does, by the way. He sits behind the Resolute Desk and sends his ballot to Florida, number one. Number two, we're going to make sure that those people who want to vote in person are able to vote because there are enough poll watchers are there to make sure they can socially distance. The polls are open on time, and the polls stay open until the votes are counted. And this is all about trying to dissuade people from voting because he's trying to scare people into thinking that it's not going to be legitimate.
242 19 205 255 90.65 3.30 Show up and vote. You will determine the outcome of this election. Vote, vote, vote. If you're able to vote early in your state, vote early. If you're able to vote in person, vote in person. Vote whatever way is the best way for you, because you will ... He cannot stop you from being able to determine the outcome of this election. And in terms of whether or not ... When the votes are counted and they're all counted, that will be accepted. If I win, that will be accepted. If I lose, that'll be accepted. But by the way, if in fact he says, he's not sure what he's going to accept. Well, let me tell you something, it doesn't matter, because if we get the votes, it's going to be all over. He's going to go. He can't stay in power. It won't happen. It won't happen, so vote. Just make sure you understand, you have it in your control to determine what this country is going to look like the next four years. Is it going to change, or are you going to get four more years of these lies?
243 2 9 11 98.87 0.59 There is no ... There is no evidence of that.
244 1 6 8 87.95 2.48 There is no evidence of that.
245 8 76 95 91.44 2.86 Five states have had mail-in ballots for the last decade or more. Five, including two Republican states. And you don't have to solicit the ballot. It's sent to you. It's sent to your home. What they're saying is that it has to be a postmark by election day. If it doesn't get in until the seventh, eighth, ninth, it still should be counted. He's just afraid of counting the votes.
246 6 103 136 77.71 6.69 I am concerned that any court would settle this, because here's the deal. When you get a ballot and you fill it out, you're supposed to have an affidavit. If you didn't know, you have someone say that, this is me. You should be able to, if in fact you can verify that's you before the ballot is thrown out, that's sufficient to be able to count the ballot because someone made a mistake and not dotting the correct I. Who they voted for, testify, say who they voted for, say it's you. That is totally legitimate.
247 1 9 14 66.10 6.28 Mail service delivers 185 million pieces of mail a day.
248 12 111 145 86.93 3.43 Yes. And here's the deal. We count the ballots, as you pointed out. Some of these ballots in some states can't even be opened until election day. And if there's thousands of ballots, it's going to take time to do it. And by the way, our military ... They've been voting by ballots since the end of the Civil War, in effect. And that's what's going to happen. Why is it, for them, somehow not fraudulent. It's the same process. It's honest. No one has established at all that there is fraud related to mail-in ballots, that somehow it's a fraudulent process.
249 11 99 124 91.74 2.70 He has no idea what he's talking about. Here's the deal. The fact is, I will accept it, and he will too. You know why? Because once the winner is declared after all the ballots are counted, all the votes are counted, that'll be the end of it. That'll be the end of it. And if it's me, in fact, fine. If it's not me, I'll support the outcome. And I'll be a president, not just for the Democrats. I'll be a president for Democrats and Republicans. And this guy.
250 1 5 5 117.16 -1.84 Good to be with you.
251 1 1 2 36.62 8.40 Okay.
252 1 4 4 118.18 -2.23 I know it well.
253 4 60 85 71.76 6.98 Well, first of all, going back, the fact is that the president was informed how dangerous this virus was. And all the way back in the beginning of February, I argued that we should be keeping people in China. And we had set up, in our administration, a pandemic office within the White House. There were 44 people on the ground.
254 6 84 113 78.82 5.74 I suggested that we should be seeking, and I didn't hold public office, I was a former Vice President, we in fact asked to have access to the source of the problem. And the best of our knowledge, Trump never pushed that. All those 44 people came home, never got replaced. In addition to that, I pointed out that I thought in February, I did a piece for USA Today saying, "This is a serious problem. Trump denied it. He said it wasn't."
255 5 58 84 72.54 6.02 We later learned that he knew full well how serious it was when he did an interview with George Woodward. I mean, excuse me, Bob Woodward. And at the time, he said he didn't tell anybody because he was afraid Americans would panic. Americans don't panic, he panicked. He didn't say a word to anybody.
256 7 118 152 80.75 6.18 Then I wrote a piece in March about what I thought we should be doing to take hold of this, using the... There's an act that passed a long time ago that allows the president to go into a business and say, "Stop making this, and start making that." And it took a long time for him to even institute that, to get ventilators and so on. And so, the point was he missed enormous opportunities and kept saying things that weren't true. It's going to go away by Easter, don't worry about it. When the summer comes, it's all going to go away like a miracle. He's still saying those things.
257 1 3 3 119.19 -2.62 Not back then.
258 7 72 100 78.90 4.81 Not in January, February. No, that's correct, there wasn't. That came at the end of March. And then I laid out a detailed plan relative to school openings in June and July. By that time, the science was becoming clearer and clearer of how this was spreading so rapidly. But the president kept denying that. If you notice, from March on, I stopped doing big meetings, I started wearing masks.
259 5 88 128 65.92 8.44 So, it was at a time when the science was saying, and his key people, Dr. Fauci were saying, "You should be taking these precautions." So, what we should be doing now, there should be a national standard. Instead of leaving this up to, remember what the president said to the governors, "Well, they're on their own, it's not my responsibility. The governors can do what they need to do, not my responsibility." It is a presidential responsibility to lead, and he didn't do that.
260 3 57 81 67.33 8.59 He didn't talk about what needed to be done because he kept worrying, in my view, about the stock market. He worried if he talked about how bad this could be, unless we took these precautionary actions, then in fact, the market would go down. And his barometer of success to the economy is the market.
261 3 75 105 63.02 10.68 Thirdly, what we didn't do is, the president had an opportunity to open and allow schools and businesses to stay open if they got the kind of help they needed. So, the Congress passed a couple of trillion dollars worth of help. And what happened was most of that money, a significant portion of that money went to the very wealthiest corporations in the country, didn't get to the mom and pop stores.
262 6 98 146 64.22 8.36 So, you had one in five, one in six minority businesses closing. Many of them permanently. People being laid off. And then what happened was, when the first round of money for unemployment, enhanced unemployment went by, he didn't do anything. He didn't do anything. And to the best of my knowledge, and I mean this sincerely, I can't think of, I've been around for a lot of presidents, and you know a lot of presidents in a crisis, I don't ever remember one never calling the House and Senate Republicans, Democrats together.
263 3 34 41 93.31 3.06 By the way, in the context, would I lock down the economy if science said so? I said I'd follow science. But I don't think there's a need to lock down.
264 1 2 2 120.21 -3.01 Get there.
265 5 95 128 73.56 7.72 Well, you can contain the pandemic by being rational and not crush economy. For example, I laid out a plan, how you can open businesses. You can open businesses and schools, if in fact you provide them the guidance that they need, as well as the money to be able to do it. What's happening now is, we know, for example, if you can open a business and you could have a sign on the door saying, "Safe to come in." And that's why people aren't going anyway, when they're open.
266 4 74 98 76.02 7.25 And say, because you have social distancing, you have plastic barriers, when you go to the cashier, you have separators between the booths. You don't have large crowds, you reduce the size, the number of people you can have in the restaurant. You make sure there's testing, that's a really critical piece that he didn't do testing and tracing. And you make sure that people are equipped, going to schools.
267 4 49 76 63.18 7.49 You know, we initially said, the government initially said, they're going to provide masks for every student and every teacher. Then they said, "No, no, no, no." FEMA said, the president or whomever said, ‘No, no, no. That's not a national emergency, not a national emergency."
268 6 75 95 86.99 4.23 We need more teachers in our schools to be able to open smaller pods. We need ventilation systems change. There's a lot of things we know now, and I laid them out in some detail. Now again, when I say I laid them out, I'm not an office holder. I'm running for office. It's not like I'm still Vice President, or I wasn't a United States Senator pushing this.
269 8 67 81 96.06 1.94 So, I don't want to say, "I, I, I." But we did lay out exactly what needed to be done. And take a look, we make up 4% of the world's population. We have 20% of the world's deaths. We're in a situation where we have 210 plus thousand people dead. And what's he doing? Nothing. He's still not wearing masks, and so on.
270 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 Sure.
271 1 2 2 120.21 -3.01 Thank you.
272 2 5 6 102.78 -0.45 Hey, Kelly. How are you?
273 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 Yes.
274 5 80 106 78.50 6.29 Two things. Number one, President Trump talks about things that just aren't accurate, about everything from vaccines, we're going to have one right away, is it going to happen, and so on. The point is that, if the scientists, if the body of scientists say that this is what is ready to be done, and it's been tested, they've gone through the three phases. Yes, I would take it. I'd encourage people to take it.
275 6 85 122 71.03 6.87 But President Trump says things like, everything from this crazy stuff he's walking away from now, inject bleach in your arm, and that's going to work. I'm not being facetious, he's actually said these things. And now, Regeneron is the answer. That's going to cure everything. There's 500,000 doses, we have more than a few million people, you know? And so, if you noticed, most of the companies who are developing these vaccines are working, they're making real progress.
276 6 66 83 89.28 3.54 I meet with four leading scientists, at least twice a week. In the beginning, four times a week, giving us the detail on what kind of progress is being made. And right now, they do the right thing. When they run into a serious problem, they halt the test. They don't continue until they figure out what the problem was. They're not there yet.
277 5 75 103 75.43 6.47 And the most scientists say, that it's not likely to have a vaccine that would be available until the beginning of next year, into the spring of next year. And in the meantime, what I worry about is the same thing with Regeneron, which is a useful antidote. Not antidote, a useful tool. But what's happening is there was no plan to figure out how to distribute it. We have 500,000 vials of it.
278 4 69 85 85.11 5.67 Well, we don't have all the testing equipment. We don't have all the ability to get it to the people who need it. And what we should be doing now, and allegedly it's happening, but I've not seen it yet nor the docs that I've talked to seen it. There should be a plan when we have the vaccine, how do we distribute it?
279 6 92 135 67.13 7.71 The answer is, depending on how clear... Vaccines, they say, have a very positive impact and that you're going to affect positively 85% of the American public. Or there's others say, "This vaccine is really the key. This is the golden key." It depends on the state of the nature of the vaccine when it comes out, and how it's being distributed. But I would think that we should be talking about, depending on the continuation of the spread of the virus, we should be thinking about making it mandatory.
280 6 82 99 90.82 3.99 Well, you couldn't, that's the problem. Just like you can't enforce measles, you can't come to school unless you have a measles shot. You know, you can't. But you can't say, everyone has to do this, just like you can't mandate a mask. But you can say, you can go to every governor and get them all in a room, all 50 of them as president and say, " Ask people to wear the mask. Everybody knows."
281 6 74 93 88.00 4.05 And if they don't, no. Not fine. Then I go to every governor, I go to every mayor, I go to every councilmen, and I go to every local official, say, "Mandate the mask." Say, "This is what you have to do when you're out. Make sure you encourage it being done." Look, George, you and I know, and I think you do too as well, the words of a president matter.
282 6 95 120 83.90 5.49 No matter whether they're good, bad, or indifferent, they matter. And when a president doesn't wear a mask or makes fun of folks like me, when I was wearing a mask for a long time, then people say, "Well, it mustn't be that important." But when a president says, "I think this is very important." For example, I walked in here with this mask, but I have one of the N95 masks underneath it. I left it in my dressing room. Not the dresser, the room I was in before I got here.
283 3 56 71 80.63 6.65 And so, I think it matters what we say. And we're now learning that children are getting the virus, not with as serious consequences, but there's been no studies done yet on vaccines for children. So, there's a long way to go, but we can make progress in the meantime and save lives.
284 4 96 118 78.49 8.27 And the last point I'll make, if you listen to the head of the CDC, he stood up and he said, "You know, while we're waiting for a vaccine." He held up a mask. "You wear this mask, you'll save more lives between now and the end of the year than if we had a vaccine." It's estimated by every major study done from the University of Washington to Columbia, that if in fact we wore masks, we could save, between now and the end of the year, a hundred thousand lives.
285 2 17 20 98.68 1.61 And avoid lockdown, yes. You don't have to lock down if you're wearing the mask.
286 1 8 11 82.39 3.76 Thank you, I hope I answered your question.
287 1 3 3 119.19 -2.62 I know it.
288 1 3 3 119.19 -2.62 That's right.
289 6 78 98 87.35 4.31 I carry this card with me. When I said the Trump tax cuts, about 1.3 trillion of the $2 trillion in his tax cuts went to the top one 10th of 1%. That's what I'm talking about eliminating, not all the tax cuts that are out there. And by the way, if you take a look, we reduced the corporate tax rate from 35%. and Democrats, Republicans who were in office thought it should come down to 28%. He reduced it to 21%.
290 4 77 108 68.64 8.47 You have 91 out of the Fortune 500 companies not paying a single solitary penny. If you raise the corporate tax back to 28%, which is a fair tax, you'd raise one trillion, three hundred billion dollars by that one act. If you made sure that people making over 400 grand paid what they did in the Bush administration, 39.6%, you would raise another, it goes up to let me get you the exact number here, about another 200, excuse me. $92 billion.
291 5 80 101 83.79 5.55 So, you could raise a lot of money to be able to invest in things that can make your life easier. Make you change your standard of living by making sure you have affordable health care, by making sure you're in a situation where you're able to send your kid to school. If you have student debt, you can deal with it. Making sure that your home, you can pay your mortgage. You got 20 million people, right now.
292 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 Sure.
293 1 1 4 -132.58 32.00 Absolutely.
294 4 66 89 76.01 6.76 That's a great question. Moody's did analysis of my detailed analysis of my tax plan and my economic plan. They said, I will, in four years, Moody's Wall Street, said I will create 18.6 million new jobs, good paying jobs, number one. Number two, the GDP will grow by a trillion dollars more than would under Trump, and 7 million more jobs than under Trump.
295 10 103 138 83.03 4.24 And the reason is, when you allow people to get back in the game and have a job, everything moves. Everything moves. Right now, you got the opposite. You had, last year during this pandemic, you had the wealthiest billionaires in the world, in the nation, they made another $700 billion. $700 billion. He talks about a V-shape recovery. It's a K shape recovery. If you're on the top, you're going to do very well. And if you're in the bottom, or you're in the middle or the bottom, your income is coming down. You're not getting a raise.
296 7 86 123 73.37 6.08 I shouldn't, I don't know what you do. You may get a raise. Hope you're a billionaire. But all kidding aside, it's about growing the economy. And George, the way out, the reason why I'm so optimistic about economic recovery, more than I've ever been, is we have these four crises happening all at once. And one helps the other. For example, we're going to invest a great deal of that money into infrastructure, and to a green infrastructure.
297 4 69 97 70.40 7.73 We're going to put 500,000 charging stations on new highways we're building, and all highways we're building. We're going to own the electric market. You know as well as I do from your days, you know, in the old days, where the president spends about $600 billion a year on government contracts. Everything from making sure they have aircraft carriers, to automobile fleets in the United States.
298 3 57 96 45.07 11.69 If you make, and it's not in violation of any international trade agreement, made in America. If you actually insist that whatever that product is, made in America, including the material that goes into the product. It is estimated we're going to create somewhere between another four and six million jobs just by doing that.
299 6 90 126 73.17 6.78 But what's happening now under his trade policy, a lot of this is going overseas. You get a benefit from going overseas, if you have much of it being made overseas. So, if you send it overseas, you get a 10% tax increase on a product. If you make it in America and you bring it back, you get a 10% growth. If you bring back a company, and you're going to open up an old facility, you get a 10% tax credit for all you invested. That actually works, George.
300 8 79 112 76.87 4.99 No, well. I got to get the votes. I got to get the votes. That's why, the one thing, I have this strange notion. We are a democracy. Some of my Republican friends and some of my Democratic friends, even occasionally say, "Well, if you can't get the votes by executive order, you're going to do something. Things you can't do by executive order, unless you're a dictator." We're democracy, we need consensus.
301 1 6 9 73.85 4.45 I hope I answered your question.
302 2 13 14 109.13 -0.35 Don't jump, Cedric. You're look like you're way up there.
303 1 2 3 77.91 2.89 Good evening.
304 10 136 178 82.30 5.16 Well, I'd say first of all, as my buddy John Lewis said, "It's a sacred opportunity, the right to vote. You can make a difference." If young Black women and men vote, you can determine the outcome of this election. Not a joke. You can do that. Then the next question is, am I worthy of your vote? Can I earn your vote? And the answer is, there's two things I think that I care and I've demonstrated I care about my whole career. One is, in addition to dealing with a criminal justice system to make it fairer and make it more decent, we have to be able to put Black Americans in a position to be able to gain wealth, generate wealth. And so you look at what that entails.
305 4 85 111 74.79 8.11 It entails everything from early education, that's why I'm supporting making sure that Title One schools, as you know, schools with the least tax base to be able to support their schools, I increased the funding from them from $15 to $45 billion. That allows every teacher in that school to make up to 60,000 bucks, and the problem now is they're leaving the schools. They're not there. We're short about a million and a half teachers, a million and a quarter teachers.
306 8 179 246 67.86 9.35 Number two, every three and four and five-year-old will go to school, school, not daycare, school, and with all the great universities, including the one you've gone to, go to, or went to, in fact, talks about in the last eight years, what's happened. What happens when you let them go to school? They make up rapidly whatever shortcoming they had in terms of their education prior to that. They have not heard as many words spoken, et cetera, et cetera. What happens is that, the studies show, that 58% will increase by 58% their chance of going all through 12 years of school, and going through successfully. It will also provide for the ability to bring in social workers and school psychologists. We have one school psychologist in America now for every 1,507 kids. It should be one to 500, not just in schools that are poor, but in all schools, because we learned that, for example, drug abuse doesn't cause mental illness, mental illness causes drug abuse, the failure to get hold of people and deal with their anxieties.
307 5 142 223 45.15 14.02 In addition to that, I provide for a $70 billion for HBC use for them to be able to have the wherewithal to do what other universities can do, because they don't have the kind of foundational support they need. And so that would allow them, for example, like we did in our administration, the President allowed me to go down and we awarded a cybersecurity laboratory, ability to compete for cybersecurity laboratory. The federal government spends billions of dollars a year on universities, because there are the best kept secret and where most of the major inventions come out of. And so that school now will be able to produce young Black women and men who are going to go into a field of the future that's burgeoning, cybersecurity. And that's what is going to help a great deal.
308 6 160 218 64.50 10.89 In addition to that, if you're a young man about to graduate and you graduated from school and you want to own your first home, well, it's awful hard to get the money, depending on the background, where your economic background is, to get a down payments. So we're going to guarantee first term home buyers a $15,000 down payment for first term home buyers. In addition to that, all the studies now show, and I've been arguing this for a long time, is young Black entrepreneurs are just as successful as White entrepreneurs or anyone else given a shot. But you can't get the money. Where do you go to get the startup money? So what President Obama and I did, we had a program where we took $1.5 billion and we invested it in all the SBAs around the country, and the state SBAs, small business associations, and that generated $30 billion came off the sideline.
309 9 188 244 75.83 7.87 Because if you have a guarantee of $200,000 for your new startup enterprise, a young entrepreneur, you're going to be able to attract, if it's government money and it's a guarantee, you could be able to attract another $100,000. It generated $30 billion. Well, I'm changing that program and I'll get this done without much trouble I believe in the Congress from $1.5 million to $30 billion. That'll take $300 billion off the sideline and grow. And, for example, if you, in fact, and I were the same age and we split our differences, if we were the same age, and we went to the same builder to buy us each the same home, but my home was in a White neighborhood on one side of a highway, and yours is in a Black neighborhood, same exact home, your home will start off being valued 29% less than my home. Yet your insurance for that home will be higher. You'll be taxed more for it. We've got to end this. That's what got me involved in politics in the first place, a thing called red lining.
310 1 21 30 64.66 9.46 We can change so much that we can do so much to change the circumstances to give people a real opportunity.
311 2 19 23 94.78 2.40 Well, there's a lot more if you're going to hang around afterwards. I'll tell you more.
312 14 176 225 85.92 4.40 No, but I really mean it. It's the key. Look, this is the way every other ... Like my dad, he lost his job up in Scranton and it took him three years to be able to move down to Delaware, to Claymont, Delaware, a little steel town, and send us home to our grandpop to live with him. We finally got back. We lived in an apartment, which became six and eight housing much later. It was just normal apartments. But it took him five years to be able to buy a home. Well, we bought a three bedroom home with four kids and a grandpop living with us, but it accumulated wealth. You built up wealth. That's how middle-class folks make it. They build up wealth. Then he was able to borrow a little against that to be able to help us get the school, those kinds of things. It's about accumulating wealth and you're behind an eight ball. The vast majority of people of color are behind an eight ball.
313 14 116 151 88.30 3.00 And it's the same way what's going on now with all this money that's been voted. What's happened? You go to the bank, if you're a Black businessman, and the President fired the only Inspector General to see oversee all this help coming from the Congress. And what happens? You go in and they say, "Ah, do you have an account here?" "No." "Do you have a credit card?" "No." "Have you borrowed from us before ?" "No." We bailed these suckers out. They're not liable for any of the money, but they still won't lend it to you. We've got to change that. It's about accumulating wealth.
314 1 3 4 90.99 1.31 I'm sorry.
315 8 142 185 78.60 6.71 Well, first of all, things have changed drastically. That Crime Bill, when it voted, the Black Caucus voted for it. Every Black mayor supported it across the board and the Crime Bill itself did not have mandatory sentences except for two things. It had three strikes and you're out, which I voted against, in the Crime Bill, but it had a lot of other things in it that turned out to be both bad and good. I wrote the Violence Against Women Act. That was part of the assault weapons ban and other things that were good. What I was against was giving states more money for prison systems that they could build, state prison systems. And you have 93 out of every 100 people in jail now is in a state prison, not in a federal prison, because they built more prisons.
316 10 149 217 68.50 7.41 I also wrote into that bill a thing called drug courts. I don't believe anybody should be going to jail for drug use. They should be going into mandatory rehabilitation. We should be building rehab centers to have these people housed. We should decriminalize marijuana, wipe out the record so you can actually say honesty, "You ever been arrested for murder for anything?" You can say no, because we're going to pass a law saying there is no background that you have to reveal relative to the use of marijuana. And so there's a lot of things. But in addition to that, we've got to change the system. I joined with a group of people in the House to provide for changing the system from punishment to rehabilitation. Along with a guy named Marlon Specter, who you may remember, I wrote the Second Chance Act.
317 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 Right.
318 10 152 202 78.98 6.02 Yes, it was. But here's where the mistake. The mistake came in terms of what the states did locally. What we did federally, we said, you remember, George, it was all about the same time for the same crime. What I had done as the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, I took the 10 Circuit Courts of Appeals, took some really brilliant lawyers working for me in Judiciary, we did a study and we determined what happens if, for the first, second, third offense for any crime in the criminal justice system at the federal level, if you're a Black man and it's the first time you've committed robbery, how long would you go to jail? On average? If you're White man, how long? The Black man would go to jail on average 13 years. White man, two years. I'd go down the list of every single crime.
319 7 71 92 86.92 3.66 So we set up a sentencing commission. We didn't set the time. Every single solitary maximum was reduced in there. But what happened was it became the same time for the same crime. So it said, "You have to serve between one and three years." And it ended up becoming much lower, Black folks went to jail a lot less than they would have before. But it was a mistake.
320 9 144 215 64.28 8.27 Yes, if in fact they're involved in community policing, not jump squads. For example, when we had community policing, from the mid-'90s on until till Bush got elected, what happened? Violent crime actually went down precipitous. Remember the significant rise in violent crime that was occurring in the late '80s into the '90s. It went down and fewer African Americans were arrested because you had the requirement. The cops didn't like it. They didn't like the community policing, because you had to have two people in the vehicle, they had to get out of their cars, they had to introduce themselves to who own the local liquor store, who owned the local grocery store, who was the woman on the corner. And what they would do, George, they'd actually go and give people their phone numbers. A cop would give the phone number.
321 9 146 197 76.22 6.66 So if Nelly Smith was on the second floor where drug deals took place and things happened below her apartment, she could call and say, "It's Millie, and there's something going on here." And they'd never revealed it was her, because they'd know, if she knew that, in fact, they report, they'd never report the crime, she'd never report. So it actually started to come down. And what happened? They eliminated the funding for community policing. Community policing doesn't mean more people coming in, in armored Humvees and swarming. It turned out that by the time we got to the late '90s and crime had come down so much, the mayors and everybody asked the question, "Where do you want me to spend the money?" They say, "Well, only 1% thought violent crime was a problem." It was as high as 22%.
322 6 131 168 76.18 8.06 You have to change the way in which they . One of the things I'm going to do, George, is what is set up a national study group made up of cops, social workers, as well as made up of the Black community and the Brown community to sit down in the White House and over the next year come up with significant reforms that need to take place within communities. You have to bring them together. One of the things I've observed is, the neighborhood I grew up, I grew up in Claymont, you either became a cop, a firefighter, or a priest. I wasn't qualified much to do any one of them, but here's the deal, all kidding aside. Most cops don't like bad cops.
323 1 5 5 117.16 -1.84 They don't like it.
324 10 179 249 70.98 7.81 And so what happens is they get intimidated into not reporting. So one of the things we do is there has to be transparency available. We have to be able to go in at the federal level, be able to go in and check out whether or not there's systematic problems within police departments. If, in fact, a cop needs to be tried, it's not the prosecutor in the community, in the district there. You've got to go outside the community to get another prosecutor to come in to handle the crime. There's a lot of things we've learned, and it takes time but we can do this. You can ban choke holds, but beyond that, you have to teach people how to de-escalate circumstances. De-escalate. So instead of anybody coming at you and the first thing you do is shoot to kill, you shoot them in the leg. There's ways you have to do more background checks in terms of whether or not the person coming in, passes a certain psychological test.
325 9 189 254 71.82 8.46 And the last thing I'll say, and I'm sorry, but it's really, I think, really, really important, is you have to be in a position where you are able to identify, identify the things that have to change. And one of the things that has to change is so many cops get called into circumstances where somebody is mentally off. Like what happened not long ago, that guy with the knife. That's why we have to provide within police departments psychologists and social workers to go out with the cops on those calls, some of those 911 calls to de-escalate the circumstance, to deal with talking them down. But cops are kind of like school teachers now. A school teacher has to know everything from how to handle hunger in a household as well as how to teach how to read. Well, cops or don't have that breadth, and there's a lot of things we can do. We shouldn't be defunding cops. We should be mandating the things that we should be doing within police departments and make sure there's total transparency.
326 1 9 11 94.30 2.34 I don't know the answer to your question.
327 1 2 3 77.91 2.89 Hey, Nathan.
328 8 146 190 78.22 6.88 Well, let me start at the last point and work my way back. I think there's great reason to be concerned. I was on the road most of the time during these hearings so I didn't hear many of them. I just got the recaps when I'd get in late at night. I'm been going around the country, Florida, anyway, but my reading online what the judge said was she didn't answer very many questions at all. And I don't even think she is laid out much of a judicial philosophy in terms of the basis upon which she thinks in the Constitution, nonetheless. So, number one. So I think there's great reason to be concerned for the LGBT community, something I fought very hard for, for a long time to make sure there's equality across the board.
329 6 158 243 49.99 12.83 Number two, I think that also healthcare overall is very much in jeopardy as a consequence of the President's going to go directly after this election directly to the Supreme Court within a month to try to get Obamacare wiped out after 10 million people have already lost her insurance from their employer and wants to take 20 million people out of the system as well, plus 100 million people with pre-existing conditions. So there's a lot at stake. I don't think it's appropriate. I think the Constitution implies, there's no provision in the Constitution, my problem is I made a mistake of teaching constitutional law for 21 years, and the separation of powers, the Constitution implies that their way the people have a right to determine who's going to be on the court is how they vote for their Senators and their President. We seek the advice and consent of the Senate. And the President.
330 5 82 124 62.26 8.65 He is. But once an election begins, by implication, it is inconsistent with the constitutional principles, in my view. You get disagreement among scholars on this, but I believe it's inconsistent when millions of people have already voted to put someone on the Court. I think it should have been held until this election is over, see what the makeup of the Senate is going to be. If the President wins this election, he should be able to go for it.
331 7 158 218 67.20 9.49 What I wanted to do, George, you know if I had answered the question directly then all the focus would be on, what's Biden going to do if he wins? Instead of on, is it appropriate what is going on now? And it should stay. This is the thing that the President loves to do, always take our eye off the ball what's at stake. One of the things Pete has suggested is, and there's a number of constitutional scholars have suggested as well, that there are at least four or five options that are available to determine whether or not you can change the way in which the court lifetime appointment takes place consistent arguably with the Constitution. I have not been a fan of court packing because then it just generates what will happen. Whoever wins, it just keeps moving in a way that is inconsistent with what is going to be manageable.
332 4 55 69 86.74 4.58 Well, I'm not a fan. It depends on how this turns out. Not how he wins, but how it's handled, how it's handled. But there's a number of things that are going to be coming up and there's going to be a lot of discussion about other alternative as well.
333 3 71 99 64.85 10.09 For example, there's actually real live debate on the floor, if people are really going to be able to have a time to go through this. I don't know anybody who's gone on the floor that's been a controversial justice in terms of making fundamentally or altering the makeup of the court that's gone through in a day kind of thing. I mean, it depends on ...
334 3 103 128 66.85 12.46 ... and the makeup of the court has gone through in a day kind of thing. I mean, it depends on how much they rushed this. And you think about it, George, here you got a lot of people not to be able to pay their mortgage, not being able to put food on the table, not being able to keep their business open, not being able to do anything to deal with what's going on in terms of the economy as a consequence of COVID and they have no time to deal with that, but they have time to rush this through.
335 1 11 16 72.62 5.86 I'm open to considering what happens from that point on.
336 4 36 47 87.25 3.33 It is. Good choice. No matter what answer I gave you, if I say it, that's the headline tomorrow. It won't be about what's going on now, the improper way they're proceeding.
337 1 24 25 94.35 6.06 They do have a right to know what I stand and they'll have a right to know where I stand before they vote.
338 4 101 141 63.10 10.73 Yes. Depending on how they handle this. But look, what you should do is you got to make sure you vote and vote for a senator who in fact reflects your general view on constitutional interpretation, and vote for a president who thinks is more in line with you. And if you oppose the position that I would not have appointed her, but if you oppose my position, vote for Trump, vote for Republican who shares that view, but that's your opportunity to get involved in lifetime appointments that have presidents come and go, justices stay and stay and stay.
339 1 9 10 103.70 1.03 John's writing in for me, by the way.
340 1 3 4 90.99 1.31 I'm sorry.
341 1 6 7 102.05 0.52 Oh yeah, I'll be darned.
342 15 170 228 81.87 4.66 It was written by a fellow who won the Pulitzer prize for a book he wrote about the presidency. He said I doubt whether Biden is really Irish. He doesn't hold a grudge. In politics, grudges don't work. They make no sense. I really mean it. I have never, and the second point I'd make is everybody talks about, "Yeah, Joe, when you were a senator and a chairman of foreign relations or chairman of judiciary, you got a lot of things done. You're able to cross the aisle but the days are changed. When you're vice president, you got a lot done, but it can't happen anymore." It can. We got to change the nature of the way we deal with one another. And it starts off by the way your father was and Tip was and others. You don't question another man or woman's motive. You can question their judgment, but not their motive. We badly needed an infrastructure bill.
343 10 148 189 83.78 5.25 Well, what happens? I stand up and I say, "We need an infrastructure bill, Senator, but I tell you what, you're in the pocket of the cement industry, but let's see what we can do." He can't get anywhere. Nothing happens. Nothing happens. I learned that lesson a long time ago. I've never, even when it's obvious on its face what the motive is, stick to the subject and listen to the other guy. Listen, what I will be doing as, if I'm elected president and the first thing and not a joke. And you can ask if they'd tell you, your dad's old friends in the Republican side, I'm going to pick up the phone and call them and say, "Let's get together. We've got to figure out how we're going to move forward here."
344 11 170 259 62.26 8.41 Because there's so many things we really do agree on. And with Trump out of the way, the vindictiveness of a president going after Republicans who don't do exactly what he says gets taken away. There's going to be, I promise you, between four and eight Republican senators who are going to be willing to move on things where there's bipartisan consensus. Last example I'll give you. After Trump had been elected, named the next president, wasn't sworn in yet, I've been working on a thing called a bill relating to cancer cures. Okay? And it was called the Cancer Moonshot. And I work with a number of Democrats and Republicans. And we had a bill that was about $9 billion that made significant increases in research and development on cancer alternatives, NIH and particularly specific cancer initiatives. And we only had at the time I think it was 111 or 114, whatever it was, votes in the house. I don't hold any exact number.
345 4 102 130 73.13 9.39 And we had fewer than 40 in the Senate, but after he was elected, I got those people together as vice president and we sat down and we worked it out and we ended up getting a pass 396 votes in the house and 94 votes in the Senate. And at the end of the day, because it had to do with the Biden Cancer Moonshot I've been working on, Mitch McConnell. Mitch McConnell stood up and I was presiding officer and moved to name the bill after my deceased son, Beau, who had just died. So, there are ways to bring this together.
346 4 39 57 73.29 5.46 What the Biden Justice Department will do is let the Department of Justice be the Department of Justice. Let them make the judgments of who should be prosecuted. They're not my lawyers. They're not my personal lawyer.
347 11 161 231 70.60 7.05 I'm not going to rule in or out. Well, I'm going to hire really first rate prosecutors and people who understand the law like Democrat and Republican administrations have had, and let them make the judgements, but turning this into a vehicle for your, as if it's your own law firm, you don't own that justice department. You pick the best people you can and you hope that what they're going to do is they're going to enforce the law as they see it. But can you remember any Republican president going out there or former Democratic president go find that guy and prosecute him? Remember, where you hear that? Or by the way, I'm being sued because a woman has accused me of rape. Represent me. Represent me. Personally represent me in the state of New York on my not allowing my tax returns. What's that all about? What is that about?
348 1 1 2 36.62 8.40 Hello.
349 8 151 209 70.58 8.10 Well, first of all, I make it clear. I do not propose banning fracking. I think you have to make sure that fracking is in fact not emitting methane or polluting the well or dealing with what can be small earthquakes in how they're drilling. So, it has to be managed very, very well, number one. Number two, what we have to do is the future rests in renewable energy. The single fastest growing energy source in the world right now, because I'm going to say something that's going to sound self-serving, but I manage the RecoveryAact and I was able to invest billions of dollars into bringing down the cost per BTU of wind and solar. So now it's cheaper than coal, is cheaper than oil right now, and it has great, great promise. And it's also the fastest growing employer in the energy industry.
350 5 120 166 65.45 10.09 And so there are a number of things that I would do immediately. Number one, there are well over 100,000 wells that are left uncapped in the region. We could hire 128,000 of these people who are working in the industry to cap these wells and get a good salary doing it now, number one. Number two, we should be moving toward finding the new technologies that are going to be able to deal with carbon capture. So, ultimately, it's a transition we moved from, to a net zero emission of carbon that we're still going to be able to use if we find the right technology, some gases, some gas to be able to, if we can carbon capture.
351 3 128 179 45.22 17.55 And I think we're going to be able to move in a direction where by the year 2035, we'll be able to have net zero emissions of carbon from the creation of energy, energy creation so we can move it by dealing with those. And every time we talk about global warming or the environment, the president thinks it's a joke and I think as jobs, because what we're going to have happened is you'll be able to see now, as I started to say before. I as president is going to invest that $600 billion that we spend in government contracts, only on those things that in fact also are not only made in America, but building an infrastructure that's clean and new.
352 6 105 150 68.22 8.09 And what we have to do is focus on the transmission of energy across the country from areas relating to solar and wind. The reason is that they have not, that has not been mastered yet. I met a lot of people in Silicon Valley. The battery technology is increasing significantly so you're going to be able to have, for example, solar on your home and a battery the, this by this by this, as I'm showing you here in your basement. So when the sun doesn't shine for five days, you still have enough energy. So, we're making significant progress.
353 3 68 101 58.17 10.78 The other thing we're going to do is provide an awful lot of work. It's estimated to put close to a million people to work by weatherizing four million buildings and two million homes, because we'll save tons and tons of energy or billions of barrels of energy over time. And at the same time provide significant employment and a good union wages, prevailing wages.
354 8 103 151 69.74 6.73 Boilermaker's overwhelming endorsement. Okay? So, the Boilermakers Union has endorsed me because I sat down with them and went in a great detail with leadership exactly what I would do, number one. Number two, what I would do is I would giving tax breaks and subsidizing oil. We don't need to subsidize oil any longer, number one. We should stop that and save billions of dollars over time. What I would also do with regard to there's no, the difference between me and the new green deal, they say automatically by 2030 we're going to be carbon free. Not possible.
355 7 157 212 69.83 9.09 My deal is a crucial framework, but not the new green deal. The new green deal calls for elimination of all non renewable energy by 2030. You can't get there. You're going to need to be able to transition, George, to be able to transition to get to the place where we invest in new technologies that allow us to do things that get us to a place where we get to net zero emission, including in agriculture. I've laid out a detailed plan. We should be taking the plan where we allow significant more land to be put in conservation, plant deep rooted plants which absorb carbon from the air and in fact, pay farmers to do it. We can do things like pelletize all the chicken manure and all the horse manure and cow manure, and take out the methane and use it as fertilizer and make a lot of money doing it.
356 8 119 180 63.77 8.06 For example, right now, down in ... And people when I say that, they wonder what I'm talking about. The biggest carbon sink in the world is the Amazon. More carbon absorbed from the air diminishing global warming in the Amazon than all the carbon emitted on a yearly basis from the United States of America from all vehicles on all means. So we have to use our imaginations. We have to move in the direction as well providing for electric vehicles. Electric vehicles will save billions of gallons of oil, estimated, not me, Wall street, one million automobile jobs, but we're lagging me. I mean, we're not investing. We're not doing any of the research.
357 2 9 12 89.47 1.90 Good to be back home. I'm from Pennsylvania.
358 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 Yep.
359 3 29 38 86.17 3.64 A little more, but not a whole lot. We find ourselves in a position where we're more isolated in the world than we've ever been. Our allies.
360 20 293 420 70.70 7.04 Were more isolated in the world than we ever have been. Our allies... Our go it alone, our America first has made America alone. You have Iran closer to having enough nuclear material to build a bomb. North Korea has more bombs and missiles available to it. We find ourselves where our NATO allies are publicly saying they can't count on us. We're in a situation as well, where in the far East, we find ourselves, in the Western Pacific, where we're isolated as well. You have Japan and South Korea at odds with one another. China is making moves. So I would say, we're find ourselves less secure than we've been. I do compliment the president on the deal with Israel recently. But if you take a look, we're not very well trusted around the world. When 17 major nations in the world were asked who they trust more, who's a better leader, and the president came in behind both, the international survey, both behind Putin, as well as Xi. And look what Putin is doing. You have bounties on American militaries heads in Afghanistan. They have more people there now, by the way, than when we left in Afghanistan. And we find ourselves in a situation where he's talked to Putin six times, hadn't said a word to him. And NATO is on the risk of beginning crack because they doubt whether we're there. You see what's happened in everything from Belarus to Poland, to Hungary, and the rise of totalitarian regimes in the world. And as well as, this president embraces all the thugs in the world. He's best friends with the leader of North Korea, sending love letters.
361 10 141 201 71.92 6.73 He doesn't take on Putin in any way. He's learned the art of the steal from the art of the deal by Xi and China. So I would respectfully suggest, no, there is no plan, no coherent plan for foreign policy. We've been most effective as a world leader, in my humble opinion, not just by the exercise of our power. We're the most powerful nation in the world, but the power of our example. That's what's led the rest of the world to follow us on almost everything. He's pulled out of almost every international organization. He gets laughed at, literally, not figuratively, when he goes to the United Nations. It's not about the president, per se. It's about the nation and the lack of respect that's shown to us.
362 2 5 5 119.70 -2.81 Hi, Mieke. How are you?
363 7 103 147 71.16 6.99 I will flat out just change the law. Eliminate those executive orders, number one. You may recall, I'm the guy who said... I was raised by a man who, I remember, I was being dropped off. My dad was a high school educated, well-read man who was a really decent guy. And I was being dropped off to get an application in the center of our city, Wilmington, Delaware, the corporate capital of the world at the time. I'm getting out to get an application to be a lifeguard in the African-American community, because there was a big swimming pool complex.
364 14 127 167 86.38 3.46 And these two men, well-dressed, leaned up and hugged one another and kissed one another. I'm getting out of the car at the light, and I turned to my dad. My dad looked me. He said, "Joey, it's simple. They love each other." The idea that an 8 year old child or a 10 year old child decides, "I decided I want to be transgender. That's what I think I'd like to be. It'd make my life a lot easier." There should be zero discrimination. And what's happening is too many transgender women of color are being murdered. They're being murdered. I think it's up to, now, 17. Don't hold me to that number, but it's... It's higher now?
365 2 32 41 82.20 5.77 And that's just this year. And so I promise you, there is no reason to suggest that there should be any right denied your daughter, or daughters, whichever, one or two.
366 7 71 94 84.53 3.99 One. Your daughter, that your other daughter has a right to be and do. None. Zero. And by the way, my son Beau, who passed away, was the attorney general of the state of Delaware. He was the guy who got the first transgender law passed in the state of Delaware. And because of a young man who became a woman, who worked for him in the attorney general's office.
367 1 6 6 116.15 -1.45 And I'm proud of her.
368 7 148 220 59.62 10.20 Well, to be very honest with you, I think that's very hard. Things have not let themselves to him learning from what's happened, what's gone before. Instead of being chastened by being one of the few presidents, the only president to be impeached and then have a member of his own party vote to expel him, it emboldened him. But what I will do... Hopefully, I'll go back to being a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. And making the case that I've been made, and at the Biden Institute at the University of Delaware, focusing on these same issues, relating to what constitutes decency and honor in this country. It's the thing that got me involved in public life to begin with. As a kid, I'd moved from Scranton, where there were no African-Americans and moved down to Claymont, Delaware.
369 11 119 178 69.31 6.28 And in Delaware we have the eight largest Black population, as a percent of population. It was an epiphany for me seeing what was going on, and I got deeply involved. I'm no great shakes. I wasn't John Lewis. I don't mean to imply that. But it's the thing that's motivated... My dad used to have an expression for real. He said, "Everyone's entitled to be treated with dignity. Everybody." And it was real. Everybody is. And so whether I'm a defeated candidate for president back teaching or I'm elected president, it is a major element of everything that I'm about, because it reflects who we are as a nation.
370 11 150 216 71.17 6.72 Every single solitary generation, the dial has moved closer and closer and more and more to inclusion. And we are a country that is a country of slaves who came here 400 years ago, Indigenous people, and everyone else is an immigrant. And we're a diverse country. And unless we are able to treat people equally, we're just never going to meet our potential. But I think the American people want to see that happen. I think they're ready to see it happen. And I'd tell you one thing, if I'm elected president, you will not hear me race baiting. You'll not hear me dividing. You'll hear me trying to unify, and bring people together. When I said I was running because I wanted to unify the country, people said, "Well, there are the old days." We better be able to do it again.
371 1 9 12 84.90 3.65 We'd better be able to do it again.
372 15 200 276 76.55 5.89 Well, it could say I'm a lousy candidate, and I didn't do a good job. But I hope that it doesn't say that we are as racially, ethnically, and religiously at odds with one another as it appears the president wants us to be. Usually, the president's in my view, with all due respect, has been divide and conquer. The way he does better if he splits us. There's division. And I think people need hope. Look, George, I've never been more optimistic about the prospect for this country than I am today. And I really mean that. I think the people are ready. They understand what's at stake, and it's not about Democrat or Republican. If I get elected, I'm running as a proud Democrat, but I'm going to be an American president. I'm going to take care of those who voted against me, as well as those who voted for me, for real. That's a presence too. We got to heal this nation, because we have the greatest opportunity to any country in the world to own the 21st century. And we can't do it divided.
373 16 201 256 86.33 4.34 Yeah. And by the way, before I came up here, I took another test. I've been taking them every day, the deep test, the ones that go in most. Because if I had not passed that test, I didn't want to come here and expose anybody. And I just think it's just decency, to be able to determine whether or not you're clear. I'm less concerned about me, but then the guys with the cameras, the people working in the Secret Service guys you drive up with, all those people. And so, yes, I believe he will do that. Look, I'm going to abide by what the commission rules call for. I was prepared to debate him remotely, which was supposed to happen. And he said he wouldn't do that, a virtual debate, or a town hall. He didn't want to do that. I didn't set those rules. The commission set the rules. So whatever rules they set, I'm confident that the Cleveland Clinic is the one overseeing it. I think they're going to not let happen what happened last time. They're going to demand that it's safe.
374 1 5 6 100.24 0.52 I expect to be there.
375 10 104 154 71.01 5.94 220,000 Americans dead. You hear nothing else I say tonight, hear this. Anyone who is responsible for not taking control. In fact, not saying I take no responsibility initially. Anyone is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America. We're in a situation where there are a thousand deaths a day now. A thousand deaths a day. And there are over 70,000 new cases per day. Compared to what's going on in Europe as the New England Medical Journal said, they're starting from a very low rate. We're starting from a very high rate.
376 3 55 75 72.86 7.65 The expectation is we'll have another 200,000 Americans dead between now and the end of the year. If we just wore these masks, the president's own advisors have told him, we can save a 100,000 lives. And we're in a circumstance where the president thus far and still has no plan, no comprehensive plan.
377 3 74 100 67.47 9.98 What I would do is make sure we have everyone encouraged to wear a mask all the time. I would make sure we move into the direction of rapid testing, investing in rapid testing. I would make sure that we set up national standards as to how to open up schools and open up businesses so they can be safe and give them the wherewithal, the financial resources to be able to do that.
378 4 64 86 76.91 6.51 We're in a situation now where the New England Medical Journal, one of the serious, most serious journals in the whole world said for the first time ever that the way this president has responded to this crisis has been absolutely tragic. And so folks, I will take care of this. I will end this. I will make sure we have a plan.
379 6 111 145 77.54 7.04 Make sure it's totally transparent. Have the scientists of the world see it, know it, look at it, go through all the processes. And by the way, this is the same fellow who told you, "This is going to end by Easter" last time. This is the same fellow who told you that, "Don't worry, we're going to end this by the summer." We're about to go into a dark winter, a dark winter and he has no clear plan. And there's no prospect that there's going to be a vaccine available for the majority of the American people before the middle of next year.
380 9 92 130 76.92 5.07 My response is he is xenophobic, but not because he shutdown access from China. And he did it late after 40 countries had already done that. In addition to that, what he did, he made sure that we had 44 people that were in there in China trying to get the Wuhan to determine what exactly the source was. What did the president say in January? He said, " No." He said, "He's being transparent. The president of China is being transparent. We owe him a debt of gratitude. We have to thank him."
381 7 87 117 80.45 5.13 And then what happened was we started talking about using the Defense Act to make sure we go out and get whatever is needed out there to protect people. And again, I go back to this. He had nothing, he did virtually nothing. And then he gets out of the hospital and he talks about, "Oh, don't worry. It's all going to be over soon." Come on. There's not another serious scientist in the world who thinks it's going to be over soon.
382 1 5 6 100.24 0.52 Can I respond to that?
383 14 118 154 87.87 3.10 Number one, he says that we're learning to live with it. People are learning to die with it. You folks home will have an empty chair at the kitchen table this morning. That man or wife going to bed tonight and reaching over to try to touch, there out of habit, where their wife or husband was, is gone. Learning to live with it. Come on. We're dying with it, because he's never said. See, you said, "It's dangerous." When's the last time? Is it really dangerous still? Are we dangerous. You tell the people it's dangerous now. What should they do about the danger? And you say, "I take no responsibility."
384 12 90 114 92.06 2.28 The fact is that when we knew it was coming, when it hit, what happened? What did the President say? He said, "Don't worry. It's going to go away. It'll be gone by Easter. Don't worry. Warm weather. Don't worry. Maybe inject bleach." He said he was kidding when he said that, but a lot of people thought it was serious. A whole range of things the President has said, even today, he thinks we are in control. We're about to lose 200,000 more people.
385 1 8 9 103.54 0.80 I didn't say either of those things.
386 2 23 38 55.39 8.39 I talked about his xenophobia in a different context. It wasn't about closing the border to Chinese coming to the United States.
387 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 No.
388 4 113 151 65.11 11.20 What I would say is, I'm going to shut down the virus, not the country. It's his ineptitude that caused the country to have to shut down in large part, why businesses have gone under, why schools are closed, why so many people have lost their living, and why they're concerned. Those other concerns are real. That's why he should have been, instead of in a sand trap at his golf course, he should have been negotiating with Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats and Republicans about what to do about the acts they were passing for billions of dollars to make sure people had the capacity.
389 11 130 182 76.40 5.54 Oh, well, no. I'm not shutting down today, but there are ... Look, you need standards. The standard is, if you have a reproduction rate in a community that's above a certain level, everybody says, "Slow up. More social distancing. Do not open bars and do not open gymnasiums. Do not open until you get this under control, under more control." But when you do open, give the people the capacity to be able to open and have the capacity to do it safely. For example, schools. Schools, they need a lot of money to be open. They need to deal with ventilation systems. They need to deal with smaller classes, more teachers, more pods, and he's refused to support that money, or at least up to now.
390 12 173 228 80.71 5.58 Simply not true. We ought to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time. We ought to be able to safely open, but they need resources to open? You need to be able to, for example, if you're going to open a business, have social distancing within the business. You need to have, if you have a restaurant, you need to have plexiglass dividers so people cannot infect one another. You need to be in a position where you can take testing rapidly and know whether the person is in fact infected. You need to be able to trace. You need to be able to provide all the resources that are needed to do this. And that is not inconsistent with saying that we're going to make sure that we're going to open safely. And by the way, all you teachers out there, not that many of you are going to die, so don't worry about it. So don't worry about it. Come on.
391 12 147 182 89.66 3.80 Take a look at what New York has done in terms of turning the curve down, in terms of the number of people dying. And I don't look at this in terms of the way he does, blue states and red states. They're all the United States. And look at the states that are having such a spike in the coronavirus. They're the red states, they're the states in the Midwest, they're the states in the upper Midwest. That's where the spike is occurring significantly. But they're all Americans. They're all Americans. And what we have to do is say, wear these masks, number one. Make sure we get the help that the businesses need. That money's already been passed to do that. It's been out there since the beginning of the summer, and nothing's happened.
392 9 165 210 80.55 6.58 My response is that think about what the President knew in January and didn't tell the American people. He was told this was a serious virus that spread in the air, and it was much worse, much worse, than the flu. He went on record and said to one of your colleagues, recorded, that in fact he knew how dangerous it was but he didn't want to tell us. He didn't want to tell us because he didn't want us to panic. He didn't want us... Americans don't panic. He panicked. But guess what, in the meantime, we find out in the New York Times the other day, that in fact his folks went to Wall Street and said, "This is a really dangerous thing." And a memo out of that meeting - not from his administration, but from some of the brokers - said, "Sell short, because we've got to get moving. It's a dangerous problem."
393 1 3 3 119.19 -2.62 I haven't.
394 1 2 7 -91.29 26.49 Average contribution, $43.
395 8 109 158 70.37 6.83 I made it clear and I asked everyone else to take the pledge. I made it clear that any country, no matter who it is, that interferes in American elections will pay a price. They will pay a price. And it's been overwhelmingly clear this election - I won't even get into the last one - this election, that Russia has been involved, China's been involved to some degree, and now we learn that Iran is involved. They will pay a price if I'm elected. They're interfering with American sovereignty. That's what's going on right now. They're interfering with American sovereignty.
396 5 84 106 83.03 5.85 And to the best of my knowledge, I don't think the President has said anything to Putin about it. I don't think he's talking to them a lot. I don't think he's said a word. I don't know why he hasn't said a word to Putin about it, and I don't know what he has recently said, if anything, to the Iranians. My guess is he'd probably be more outspoken with regard to the Iranians.
397 9 118 166 74.51 6.12 But the point is this, folks. We are in a situation where we have foreign countries trying to interfere in the outcome of our election. His own National Security Advisor told him that what is happening with his buddy... Well, I shouldn't... Well, I will. His buddy Rudy Giuliani. He's being used as a Russian pawn. He's being fed information that is Russian that is not true. And then what happens? Nothing happens. And then you find out that everything that's going on here, about Russia is wanting to make sure that I do not get elected the next President of the United States, because they know I know them, and they know me.
398 4 80 122 57.52 10.21 I don't understand why this President is unwilling to take on Putin when he's actually paying bounties to kill American soldiers in Afghanistan, when he's engaged in activities that are trying to destabilize all of NATO. I don't know why he doesn't do it, but it's worth asking the question. Why isn't that being done? Any country that interferes with us will, in fact, pay a price, because they're affecting our sovereignty.
399 3 59 85 64.99 9.08 I have not taken a penny from any foreign source ever in my life. We learned that this president paid 50 times the tax in China as a secret bank account with China, does business in China, and in fact, is talking about me taking money? I have not taken a single penny from any country, whatsoever, ever, number one.
400 11 109 148 81.91 4.30 Number two, this is a president... I have released all of my tax returns, 22 years, go look at them, 22 years of my tax return. You have not released a single solitary year of your tax return. What are you hiding? Why are you unwilling? The foreign countries are paying you a lot. Russia's paying you a lot. China's paying you a lot on your hotels and all your businesses all around the country, all around the world. And China's building a new road to a new golf course you have overseas. So, what's going on here? Release your tax return or stop talking about corruption.
401 1 6 7 102.05 0.52 I have to respond to that.
402 2 33 40 87.54 5.15 Why did he... he's been saying this for four years, show us, just show us, stop playing around. You've been saying for four years you're going to release your taxes.
403 5 55 67 92.61 3.07 Nobody knows, Mr. President. What they do know is you're not paying your taxes, or you're paying taxes that are so low, when last time he said, what he paid, he said, I only pay that little because I'm smart. I know how to game the system. Come on. Come on, folks.
404 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 Sure.
405 5 86 127 64.44 8.54 Nothing was unethical. Here's what the deal. With regard to Ukraine. We had this whole question about whether or not, because he was on the board, I later learned of Burisma, a company that somehow, I had done something wrong, yet every single solitary person, when he was going through his impeachment, testifying under oath, who work for him, said I did my job impeccably. I carried out U.S. policy, not one single solitary thing was out of line, not a single thing, number one.
406 5 85 115 75.12 7.00 Number two, the guy who got in trouble in Ukraine was this guy trying to bribe the Ukrainian government to say something negative about me, which they would not do and did not do because it never ever, ever happened. My son has not made money in terms of this thing about, what are you talking about, China. I have not had... the only guy who made money from China is this guy. He's the only one. Nobody else has made money from China.
407 3 17 28 61.74 6.06 No basis for that. Everybody investigated that. No one said anything he did was wrong in Ukraine.
408 1 2 2 120.21 -3.01 Not true.
409 5 74 96 82.06 5.49 What I'd make China do is play by the international rules, not like he has done. He has caused the deficit of the China to go up, not down, with China, up, not down. We are making sure that in order to do business in China, you have to give all your intellectual property. You have to have a partner in China. It's 51%, we would not do that at all, number one.
410 12 163 215 81.46 5.27 Number two, we're in a situation where China would have to play by the rules internationally as well. When I met with Xi and when I was still vice-president, he said we're setting up air identification zones in the South China Sea. You can't fly through them. I said we're going to fly through them. We just flew B-52, B-1 bombers through it. We're not going to pay attention. They have to play by the rules. And what's he do? He embraces guys like the thugs, like in North Korea and the Chinese president and Putin and others, and he pokes his finger all of our friends, all of our allies. We make up only... we're 25%, 25% of the world's economy. We need to be having the rest of our friends with us saying to China, "These are the rules. You play by them, or you're going to pay the price for not paying by them economically."
411 1 30 40 63.59 11.84 That's the way I will run it, and that's what we did and upholding steel tariffs and a range of other things when we were president and vice-president.
412 1 3 5 62.79 5.25 ... and Vice President.
413 1 2 2 120.21 -3.01 Not true.
414 1 4 4 118.18 -2.23 That's not true.
415 1 4 5 97.03 0.72 Tax payer's money.
416 2 8 12 75.88 3.67 Taxpayer's money. Didn't come from China.
417 1 2 2 120.21 -3.01 Not true.
418 12 161 219 78.14 5.69 My response is, look, there's a reason why he's bringing up all this malarkey. There's a reason for it. He doesn't want to talk about the substantive issues. It's not about his family and my family. It's about your family, and your family's hurting badly. If you're a middle-class family, you're getting hurt badly right now. You're sitting at the kitchen table this morning deciding, "Well, we can't get new tires. They're bald, because we have to wait another month or so." Or, "Are we going to be able to pay the mortgage?" Or, "Who's going to tell her she can't go back to community college?" They're the decisions you're making, and the middle-class families like I grew up in Scranton and Claymont, they're in trouble. We should be talking about your families, but that's the last thing he wants to talk about.
419 1 7 10 78.87 4.00 I want to talk about North Korea.
420 12 180 243 77.40 6.19 Because I'd make it clear, which we were making clear to China, they had to be part of the deal, because I made it clear as a spokesperson for the illustration when I went to China that I said, "Why are you moving your missile defense up so close? Why are you moving more forces here? Why are you continue to do military maneuvers with South Korea?" I said, "Because North Korea is a problem, and we're going to continue to do it so we can control them. We're going to make sure we can control them and make sure they can not hurt us. And so if you want to do something about it, step up and help. If not, it's going to continue." What has he done? He's legitimized North Korea. He's talked about his good buddy, who's a thug, a thug. And he talks about how we're better off. And they have much more capable missiles, able to reach us territory much more easily than they ever did before.
421 2 25 41 55.40 8.64 On the condition that he would agree that he would be drawing down his nuclear capacity. The Korean Peninsula should be a nuclear free zone.
422 5 70 104 66.93 7.40 We had a good relationship with Hitler before he, in fact, invaded Europe, the rest of Europe. Come on. The reason he would not meet with President Obama is because President Obama said, "We're going to talk about denuclearization. We're not going to legitimize you and we're going to continue to push stronger and stronger sanctions on you." That's why he wouldn't meet with us.
423 8 172 275 49.75 11.66 What I'm going to do is pass Obamacare with a public option, and become Bidencare. The public option is an option that says that if you in fact do not have the wherewithal, if you qualify for Medicaid and you do not have the wherewithal in your state to get Medicaid, you automatically are enrolled, providing competition for insurance companies. That's what's going to happen. Secondly, we're going to make sure we reduce the premiums and reduce drug prices by making sure that there's competition, that doesn't exist now, by allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices with the insurance companies. Thirdly, the idea that I want to eliminate private insurance, the reason why I had such a fight with 20 candidates for the nomination was I support private insurance. That's why. Not one single person with private insurance would lose their insurance under my plan, nor did they under Obamacare. They did not lose their insurance unless they chose they wanted to go to something else.
424 12 161 243 65.53 7.45 Lastly, we're going to make sure we're in a situation that we actually protect pre-existing. There's no way he can protect pre-existing conditions. None, zero. You can't do it in the ether. He's been talking about this for a long time. He's never come up with a plan. I guess we're going to get the pre-existing condition plan the same time we got the infrastructure plan that we waited for since '17, '18, '19, and 20. I still have a few more minutes. I know you're getting anxious. The fact is that he's already cost the American people, because of his terrible handling of the COVID virus and economic spillover. 10 million people have lost their private insurance, and he wants to take away 22 million more people who have it under Obamacare and over 110 million people with pre-existing conditions. And all the people from COVID are going to have pre-existing conditions, what are they going to do?
425 10 179 246 72.40 7.61 I say it's ridiculous. It's like saying that the fact that there's a public option that people can choose, that makes it a socialist plan. Look, the difference between the president and I... I think healthcare is not a privilege, it's a right. Everyone should have the right to have affordable healthcare, and I am very proud of my plan. It's gotten endorsed by all the major labor unions, as well as a whole range of other people who, in fact, are concerned in the medical field. This is something that's going to save people's lives. And this is going to give some people an opportunity to have healthcare for their children. How many of you at home are worried and rolling around in bed tonight, wondering what in God's name you're going to do if you get sick, because you've lost your health insurance and your company's gone under? We have to provide health insurance for people at an affordable rate, and that's what I do.
426 1 3 3 119.19 -2.62 By the way.
427 1 4 4 118.18 -2.23 You can ask it.
428 1 6 8 87.95 2.48 I have to respond to healthcare.
429 10 102 156 67.09 6.44 My response is, people deserve to have affordable healthcare, period. Period, period, period. And the Biden care proposal will in fact provide for that affordable healthcare, lower premiums. What we're going to do is going to cost some money. It's going to cost over $750 billion over 10 years to do it. And they're going to have lower premiums. You can buy into the better plans, the cheaper plans, lower your premiums, deal with unexpected billing, and have your drug prices drop significantly. He keeps talking about it. He hasn't done a thing for anybody on healthcare. Not a thing.
430 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 Wrong.
431 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 Bernie.
432 11 122 182 69.37 6.34 He's a very confused guy. He thinks he's running against somebody else. He's running against Joe Biden. I beat all those other people because I disagreed with them. Joe Biden, he's running against. And the idea that we're in a situation that is going to destroy Medicare... This is the guy that the actuary of Medicare said, "If in fact..." That's Social Security. "If in fact he continues his plan to withhold the tax on Social Security, Social Security will be bankrupt by 2023 with no way to make up for it." This is the guy who's tried to cut Medicare. The idea that Donald Trump is lecturing me on Social Security and Medicare? Come on.
433 1 3 4 90.99 1.31 May I respond?
434 7 78 111 75.13 5.55 Look, the idea that the stock market is booming is his only measure of what's happening. Where I come from in Scranton and Claymont, the people don't live off of the stock market. Just in the last three years, during this crisis, the billionaires in this country made, according to Wall Street, 700 billion more dollars. 700 billion more dollars. Because that's his only measure. What happens to the ordinary people out there? What happens to them?
435 4 42 57 81.36 4.52 By the way, as you know, the Republican leader in the United States Senate said he can't pass it. He will be able to pass it. He does not have Republican votes. Why isn't he talking to his Republican friends?
436 14 134 174 87.27 3.47 I have, and they have pushed it. Look, they passed this act all the way back in the beginning of the summer. It's not new. It's been out there. This HEROES Act has been sitting there. And look at what's happening. When I was in charge of the recovery act with $800 billion, I was able to get $145 billion to local communities that have to balance their budgets and states that have to balance their budgets. And then they have to fire firefighters, teachers, first responders, law enforcement officers, so they could keep their cities and counties running. He will not support that. They have not done a thing for them. And Mitch McConnell said, "Let them go bankrupt. Let them go bankrupt." Come on. What's the matter with these guys?
437 8 101 148 70.05 6.62 By the way, if I get elected, I'm not going to... I'm running as a proud Democrat, but I'm going to be an American president. I don't see red states and blue states. What I see is American United States. And folks, every single state out there finds themself in trouble. They're going to start laying off, whether they're red or blue, cops, firefighters, first responders, teachers, because they have to balance their budget. And the founders were smart. They allowed the federal government to deficit spend to compensate for the United States of America.
438 11 142 175 89.47 3.99 I do, because I think one of the things we're going to have to do is we're going to have to bail them out too. We should be bailing them out now, those small businesses. You got one in six of them going under. They're not going to be able to make it back. They passed a package that allows us to be able... They call it PPP. Money is supposed to go to help them do everything from organize how they can deal with their businesses being open safely, schools, how they can make classrooms smaller, how they can hire more teachers, how they can put ventilation systems in. They need the help. The businesses, as well as the schools, need the help. These guys will not help them. It's not giving them any of the money.
439 1 5 5 117.16 -1.84 Not true, by the way.
440 1 1 2 36.62 8.40 Every.
441 8 79 109 80.09 4.54 No one should work one job, be below poverty. People are making six, seven, eight bucks an hour. These first responders we all clap for as they come down the street because they've allowed us to make it. What's happening? They deserve a minimum wage of $15. Anything below that puts you below the poverty level. And there is no evidence that when you raise the minimum wage, businesses go out of business. That is simply not true.
442 1 3 3 119.19 -2.62 It's an
443 9 68 94 82.22 3.67 These 500-plus kids came with parents. They separated them at the border to make it a disincentive to come to begin with. "Be real tough. We're really strong." And guess what? They cannot... Coyotes didn't bring them over. Their parents were with them. They got separated from their parents. And it makes us a laughingstock and violates every notion of who we are as a nation.
444 1 5 7 83.32 2.88 We did not separate the
445 1 9 12 84.90 3.65 Let's talk about what we're talking about.
446 7 53 72 84.22 3.39 Let's talk about what we're talking about. What happened? Parents were ripped... Their kids were ripped from their arms and separated, and now they cannot find over 500 of the sets of those parents, and those kids are alone. Nowhere to go. Nowhere to go. It's criminal. It's criminal.
447 19 195 262 82.75 4.27 Because we made a mistake made. It took too long to get it right. Took too long to get it right. I'll be President of the United States, not Vice President of the United States. And the fact is I've made it very clear. Within a 100 days, I'm going to send to the United States Congress a pathway to citizenship for over 11 million undocumented people. And all of those so-called dreamers, those DACA kids, they're going to be immediately certified again to be able to stay in this country and put on a path to citizenship. The idea that they are being sent home by this guy and they want to do that is they've gone to they've never seen before. I can imagine. You're five years old. Your parents are taking across the Rio Grande River and it's illegal. And you say, "Oh, no, Mom. Leave me here. I'm not going to go with you." They been here. Many of them are model citizens. Over 20,000 of them are first responders out there taking care of people during this crisis. We owe them. We owe them.
448 10 129 187 71.10 6.55 The catch and release, you know what he's talking about there? If in fact you had a family came across and they were arrested, they in fact were given a date to show up for their hearing. They were released. And guess what? They showed up for a hearing. And this is the first President in the history of the United States of America that anybody seeking asylum has to do it in another country. That's never happened before in America. That's never happened before in America. You come to the United States and you make your case that, "I seek asylum based on the following premise, why I deserve it under American law." They're sitting in squalor on the other side of the river.
449 2 15 17 103.34 0.71 Know the law, what he's telling you is simply not true. Check it out.
450 1 3 3 119.19 -2.62 Check it out.
451 2 22 25 99.53 2.11 That's right. And you 525 kids not knowing where in God's name they're going to be and lost their parents.
452 8 138 175 82.04 6.10 I do. I do. My daughter is a social worker and she's written a lot about this. She has her graduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania in social work. And one of the reasons why I ended up working on the East Side of Wilmington, Delaware, which is 90% African-American, was to learn more about what was going on. I never had to tell my daughter if she's pulled over, make sure she puts... For a traffic stop. "Put both hands on top of the wheel and don't reach for the glove box because someone may shoot you." But a Black parent, no matter how wealthy or how poor they are, has to teach their child, "When you're walking down the street, don't have a hoodie on when you go across the street.
453 12 209 293 70.56 7.75 Making sure that you, in fact, if you get pulled over just, yes, sir, no, sir. Hands on top of the wheel. Because you are in fact, the victim, whether you're a person making 300,000 ... child of a $300,000 a year person or someone who's on food stamps. The fact of the matter is, there is institutional racism in America. And we have always said, we've never lived up to it, that we hold these truths to be self-evident, all men and women are created equal. Well, guess what, we have never, ever lived up to it. But we've always constantly been moving the needle further and further to inclusion, not exclusion. This is the first president to come along and says, that's the end of that. We're not going to do that anymore. We have to provide for economic opportunity, better education, better healthcare, better access to schooling, better access to opportunity to borrow money to start businesses, all the things we can do. And I've laid out a clear plan as to how to do those things just to give people a shot. It's about accumulating the ability to have wealth as well as it is to be free from violence.
454 8 146 190 78.22 6.88 My response to that is I never ever said what he accused me of saying. The fact of the matter is in 2000 though, after the crime bill had been in the law for awhile, this is a guy who said, "The problem with the crime bill, there's not enough people in jail. There's not enough people in jail." And go on my website, get the quote, the date when he said it, "not enough people." He talked about marauding gangs, young gangs, and the people who are going to maraud our cities. This is a guy who in the Central Park Five, five innocent black kids, he continued to push for making sure that they got the death penalty. None of them were guilty of the crimes they were suggested. Look and granted, he did in fact, let 20 people ... he commuted 20 people's sentences.
455 8 123 186 63.30 8.25 We commuted over 1,000 people's sentences, over 1,000. The very law he's talking about is a law that in fact, initiated by Barack Obama. And secondly, we're in a situation here where the federal prison system was reduced by 38,000 people under our administration. And one of those things we should be doing, there should be no, no minimum mandatories in the law. That's why I'm offering $20 billion to states to change their state laws to eliminate minimum mandatories and set up drug courts. No one should be going to jail because they have a drug problem. They should be going to rehabilitation, not to jail. We should fundamentally change the system and that's what I'm going to do.
456 1 2 2 120.21 -3.01 We did.
457 7 83 104 88.80 3.82 Well, I'll tell you what I hope he does look at me because what's happening here is, you know who I am. You know who he is, you know his character, you know my character, you know our reputations for honor and telling the truth. I am anxious to have this race. I'm anxious to see this take place. I am ... The character of the country is on the ballot. Our character's on the ballot, look at us closely.
458 1 4 7 54.73 6.62 Nobody's calling me.
459 1 1 3 -47.98 20.20 Nobody.
460 2 8 10 97.03 0.72 I have to respond to that. Because look.
461 3 56 76 73.07 7.70 There are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what he's accusing me of is a Russian plant. They have said that this has all the ... five former heads of the CIA, both parties, say what he's saying is a bunch of garbage. Nobody believes it except him and his good friend, Rudy Giuliani.
462 1 6 8 87.95 2.48 That's exactly what was told.
463 4 102 139 65.66 10.44 Abraham Lincoln here is one of the most racist presidents we've had in modern history, he pours fuel on every single racist fire, every single one. Started off his campaign coming down the escalator saying he's getting rid of those Mexican rapists, he's ban Muslims because they're Muslims, he has moved around and made everything worse across the board. He says to... About the Proud Boys, last time we were on stage here he said, "I tell them to stand down and stand ready." Come on, this guy has a dog whistle about as big as a foghorn.
464 1 6 9 73.85 4.45 You said you're Abraham Lincoln.
465 1 2 2 120.21 -3.01 You said.
466 1 4 5 97.03 0.72 And I'm saying.
467 1 2 2 120.21 -3.01 Oh, God.
468 1 2 2 120.21 -3.01 Not true.
469 6 167 210 72.20 10.10 One of the things is that in the '80s we passed 100 percent, all 100 senators voted for a bill on drugs and how to deal with drugs, it was a mistake. I've been trying to change since then particularly the portion on cocaine. That's why I've been arguing that in fact we should not send anyone to jail for a pure drug offense, they should be going into treatment across the board, that's what we should be spending money. And that's why I set up drug courts which were never funded by our Republican friends. They should not be going to jail for a drug or an alcohol problem, they should be going into treatment. That's what we've been trying to do, that's what I'm going to get done because I think the American people have now seen that in fact it was a mistake to pass those laws relating to drugs, but they were not in the Crime Bill.
470 2 9 10 108.27 -0.72 We got a lot of it done. We released 38,000 .
471 1 3 5 62.79 5.25 We got 38,000 prisoners .
472 5 78 114 67.35 7.74 38,000 prisoners were released from federal prison, we have... There were over a thousand people who were given clemency. . In fact, were the ones that put in the legislation saying we could look at pattern and practice of police departments and what they were doing, how they're conducting themselves. I could go on, but we began the process, we lost an election, that's why I'm running to win back that election and change his terrible policy.
473 1 9 14 66.10 6.28 We had a Republican Congress, that's the answer.
474 1 7 9 90.96 2.31 You did what we already had done.
475 6 128 181 65.55 9.42 Climate change, global warming is an existential threat to humanity. We have a moral obligation to deal with it. And we're told by all the leading scientists in the world we don't have much time, we're going to pass the point of no return within the next 8 to 10 years. Four more years of this man eliminating all the regulations that were put in by us to clean up the climate, to clean up... To limit the emissions, will put us in a position where we're going to be in real trouble. Here's where we have a great opportunity. I was able to get both all the environmental organizations as well as the labor, the people worried about jobs, to support my climate plan.
476 4 94 131 65.08 10.02 Because what it does, it will create millions of new good paying jobs, we're going to invest in, for example, 500,000... Excuse me, 50,000 charging stations on our highways so that we can own the electric car market of the future. In the meantime, China is doing that. We're going to be in a position where we're going to see to it that we're going to take 4 million existing buildings and 2 million existing homes and retrofit them so they don't leak as much energy, saving hundreds of millions of barrels of...
477 6 118 160 72.16 8.08 So they don't leak as much energy saving hundreds of millions of barrels of oil in the process and creating significant number of jobs. By the way, the whole idea of what this is all going to do, it's going to create millions of jobs and it's going to clean the environment. Our health and our jobs are at stake. That's what's happening and what right now, by the way, Wall Street firms indicated that my plan, my plan will in fact, create 18.6 million jobs, 7 million more than his. This is from Wall Street and I'll create $1 trillion more in economic growth than his proposal does. Not on climate, just on economy.
478 2 19 20 108.14 0.54 I don't know where he comes from. I don't know where he comes up with these numbers.
479 3 51 71 71.80 7.47 A hundred trillion dollars, give me a break. This plan has been endorsed by every major, every major environmental group and every labor group, labor, because they know the future lies. The future lies in us being able to breathe and they know they're good jobs and getting us there.
480 4 55 79 71.36 6.72 By the way, the fastest growing industry in America is the electric, excuse me, solar energy and wind. He thinks wind causes cancer, windmills. It's the fastest growing jobs and they pay good prevailing wages, 45, 50 bucks an hour. We can grow and we can be cleaner if we go the route I'm proposing.
481 1 7 9 90.96 2.31 Find me a scientist who says that.
482 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 False.
483 1 6 9 73.85 4.45 I never said I oppose fracking.
484 1 8 9 103.54 0.80 Show the tape, put it on your website.
485 2 15 18 97.70 1.50 Put it on the website. The fact of the matter is he's flat lying.
486 3 73 103 62.77 10.55 I do rule out banning fracking because the answer we need, we need other industries to transition, to get to ultimately a complete zero emissions by 2025. What I will do with fracking over time is make sure that we can capture the emissions from the fracking, capture the emissions from gas. We can do that and we can do that by investing money in doing it, but it's a transition to that.
487 1 1 1 121.22 -3.40 Good.
488 2 13 19 76.59 4.19 Fracking on federal land. I said, no fracking and/or oil on federal land.
489 3 36 49 79.51 5.15 My response is that those people live on what they call fence lines. He doesn't understand this. They live near chemical plants that in fact, pollute, chemical plants and oil plants and refineries that pollute.
490 7 127 167 77.17 7.00 I used to live near that when I was growing up in Claymont, Delaware and there are more oil refineries in Marcus Hook and the Delaware River than there is any place, including in Houston at the time. When my mom get in the car and when there are first frost to drive me to school, turning the windshield wiper, there'd been oil slick in the window. That's why so many people in my state were dying and getting cancer. The fact is those frontline communities, it's not a matter of what you're paying them. It matters how you keep them safe. What do you do? You impose restrictions on the pollutions that if the pollutants coming out of those fence line communities.
491 1 12 16 81.86 4.82 By the way, I have a transition from the old industry, yes.
492 2 8 11 86.45 2.20 I will transition. It is a big statement.
493 1 4 5 97.03 0.72 Because I would stop.
494 1 6 14 3.35 14.28 Because the oil industry pollutes, significantly.
495 1 4 4 118.18 -2.23 Here's the deal.
496 2 53 76 58.62 11.67 Well if you let me finish the statement, because it has to be replaced by renewable energy over time, over time, and I'd stopped giving to the oil industry, I'd stop giving them federal subsidies. You won't get federal subsidies to the gas, oh, excuse me to solar and wind.
497 1 8 10 92.97 2.28 Why are we giving it to oil industry?
498 2 34 47 72.63 7.35 He takes everything out of context, but the point is, look, we have to move toward net zero emissions. The first place to do that by the year 2035 is in energy production, by 2050 totally.
499 1 17 24 70.14 7.70 No, I'm going to rejoin Paris Accord and make China abide by what they agreed to.
500 6 79 117 68.18 7.02 I will say, I'm an American President. I represent all of you, whether you voted for me or against me, and I'm going to make sure that you're represented. I'm going to give you hope. We're going to move; we're going to choose science over fiction. We're going to choose hope over fear. We're going to choose to move forward because we have enormous opportunities, enormous opportunities to make things better.
501 8 109 148 78.14 5.75 We can grow this economy, we can deal with the systemic racism. At the same time, we can make sure that our economy is being run and moved and motivated by clean energy, creating millions of new jobs. That's the fact, that's what we're going to do. And I'm going to say, as I said at the beginning, what is on the ballot here is the character of this country. Decency, honor, respect. Treating people with dignity, making sure that everyone has an even chance. And I'm going to make sure you get that. You haven't been getting it the last four years.
502 1 2 2 120.21 -3.01 Thank you.
