all right what's up y'all AWB I'm back at it I'm gonna go ahead and finish up this uh debate between Harris versus Trump the 2024 presidential debate go ahead and finish the stream or so we got about 50 minutes left and this entire debate has been insane the the first question that was asked was is there anything that has changed or could be done better since this was asked to to camela Harris it was it was asked that is there anything that could have been done better or that has been done better since y'all have been in office pretty it's pretty much what she was asked and her response to that was well we I was born I was raised middle class or born or I was in the middle class growing up which is that's an insane answer her answer answer should have been straight off the back yes we're much better off now which I don't understand I just don't understand who who is coming up with the answers that that CA is given in this debate it it I don't know if she's just not she came unprepared or what but it's it seems it's just ridiculous I what are the people thinking about this if you see if you saw this debate live what would your what was your thoughts about this go ahead and get started not been able to break through the stalemate how would you do it well let's understand how we got here on October 7 president bid just last week prime minister Ben are dead you said that nine months ago now an estimated 40,000 Palestinians are Arian law must be respected Israel must do more to protect innocent civilians you said that nine months ago now an estimated 40,000 Palestinians are dead nearly 100 hostages remain just last week prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there's not a deal in the making President Biden has not been able to break through the stalemate how would you do it well let's understand how we got here on October 7 Hamas a terrorist organization slaughtered 1200 Israelis many of them young people who were simply attending a concert women were horribly raped and so absolutely I said then I say now Israel has a right to defend itself we would and how it does so matters because it is also true far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed children mothers what we know is that this war must end it must when end immediately and the way it will end is we need a ceasefire deal and we need the hostages out and so we will continue to work around the clock on that work around the clock also understanding that we must chart a course for a two-state solution and in that solution there must be security for the Israeli people and Israel and in equal measure for the Palestinians but the one thing I will assure you always I will always give Israel the ability to defend itself in particular as it rates to as it relates to Iran and any threat that Iran and its proxies pose to Israel but we must have a two-state solution where we can rebuild Gaza where the Palestinians have security self-determination and the dignity they so rightly deserve president Trump how would you negotiate with netan who and also Hamas in order to get the hostages out and prevent the killing of more innocent civilians in Gaza if I were president it would have never started if I were president Russia would have never ever I know Putin very well he would have never and there was no threat of it either by the way for four years have gone into Ukraine and killed millions of people when you Ed it up far worse than people understand what's going on over there but when she mentions about Israel all of a sudden she hates Israel she wouldn't even meet with Netanyahu when he went to Congress to make a very important speech she refused to be there because she was at a sority party of hers she wanted to go to the sority party she hates Israel if she's president I believe that Israel will not exist within two years from now and I've been pretty good at predictions and I hope I'm wrong about that she hates Israel at the same time in her own way she hates the Arab population because the whole place is going to get blown up Arabs Jewish people Israel Israel will be gone it would have never happened Iran was broke under Donald Trump now Iran has $300 billion dollar because they took off all the sanctions that I had Iran had no money for Hamas or Hezbollah or any of the 28 different uh spheres of Terror and they are spheres of Terror horrible Terror they had no money it was a big story and you know it you covered it very well actually they had no money for Terror they were broke now they're a rich nation and now what they're doing is they're spreading that money around look at what's happening with the htis and Yemen look at what's going on in the Middle East this would have never happened I will get that settled and fast and get the war with Ukraine and Russia ended if I'm president-elect I'll get it done before even becoming president vice president Harris he says you hate Israel that's absolutely not true I have my entire career and life supported Israel and the Israeli people he knows that he's trying to again divide and and distract from the reality which is it is very well known that Donald Trump is weak wrong on National Security and foreign policy it is well known that he admires dictators wants to be a dictator on day one according to himself it is well known that he said of Putin that he can do whatever the hell he wants and go into Ukraine it is well known that he said when Russia went into Ukraine it was brilliant it is well known he exchanged love letters with Kim Jong-un and it is absolutely welln that these dictators and autocrats are rooting for you to be president again because they're so clear they can manipulate you with flattery and favors and that is why so many military leaders who you have worked with have told me you are a disgrace that is why we understand that we have to have a president who is not consistently weak and wrong on National Security including the importance of upholding and respecting in highest regard our military vice president Harris thank you they're the ones and she's the one that caused it that's weak on National Security by allowing Every Nation last month for the year 168 different countries sending people into our country their crime weights are way down Putin endorsed her last week said I hope she wins and I think he meant it because what he's gotten away with is absolutely incredible it wouldn't have happened with me the leaders of other countries think that they're weak and incompetent and they are they're grossly incompetent and I just ask one question why does Biden go in and kill the Keystone Pipeline and approve the single biggest deal that Russia's ever made nordstream two the biggest pipeline anywhere in the world going to Germany and all over Europe because they're weak and they're ineffective and Biden by the way gets paid a lot thank you we have a lot of issues to get to we'll be right back with much more of this historic ABC News presidential debate from the national Constitution Center right here in Philadelphia back in a moment so what do y'all think about that you know the way they're going about answering these questions is just simply ridiculous whether you are a fan of trump or camela this is a 2024 presidential debate and it's being handled terribly the ABC News presidential debate will continue after this news presidential debate tonight we're going to continue here and I want to turn to the war welcome back here again David mure and lindsy us welcome back to this historic ABC News presidential debate tonight we're going to continue here and I want to turn to the war in Ukraine we're now 2 and a half years into this conflict Mr President it has been the pos position of the Biden Administration that we must defend Ukraine from Russia from Vladimir Putin to defend their sovereignty so there let's go back what are they getting into right now that we must def into this conflict Mr President it has been the turn to the war in Ukraine two they talking about the war in Ukraine right now two and a half years into this conflict Mr President it has been the position of the Biden Administration that we must defend Ukraine from Russia from and Biden says we should defend we it's up to president it has been the position of the Biden Administration that we must defend Ukraine from Russia from it's been a the you it's been Biden saying that we should def wi Vladimir Putin to defend their sovereignty their democracy that it's in America's best interest to do so arguing that if Putin wins he may be embolden to move even further into other countries you have said you would solve this war in 24 hours you said so just before the break tonight how exactly would you do that and I want to ask you a very simple question tonight do you want Ukraine to win this War I want the war to stop I want to save lives that are being uselessly people being killed by the millions it's the Millions it's so much worse than the numbers that you're getting which your fake numbers look we're in for 250 billion or more because they don't ask Europe which is a much bigger beneficiary to getting this thing done than we are they're in for $150 billion dollar less because Biden and you don't have the courage to ask Europe like I did with NATO they paid billions and billions hundreds of billions of dollars when I said either you pay up or we're not going to protect you anymore so that's maybe one of the reasons they don't like me as much as they like weak people but you take a look at what's happening we're in for 250 to 275 billion they're into 100 to 15 they should be forced to equalize with that being said I want to get the War settled I know zalinski very well and I know Putin very well I have a good relationship and they respect your president okay they respect me they don't respect Biden how would you respect him why for what reason he hasn't even made a phone call in two years to Putin hasn't spoken anybody they don't even try and get it that is a war that's dying to be settled I will get it settled before I even become president if I win when I'm president-elect and what I'll do is I'll speak to one I'll speak to the other I'll get them together that war would have never happened and in fact when I saw Putin after I left unfortunately left because our our country has gone to hell but after I left when I saw him building up soldiers he did it after I left I said oh he must be negotiating it must be a good strong point of negotiation well it wasn't because Biden had no idea how to talk to him he had no idea how to stop it and now you have millions of people dead and it's only getting worse and it could lead to World War II don't kid yourself David we're playing with World War II and we have a president that we don't even know if he's where is our president we don't even know if he's a president clarify they threw him out of a campaign like a dog we don't even know is he our president but we have a president Mr President that doesn't know he's alive your time is up with just to clarify in the question do you believe it's in the US best interest for Ukraine to win this war yes or no I think it's the US best interest to get this war finished and just get it done negotiate a deal because we have to stop all of these human lives from being destroyed I want to take this to vice president Harris I want to get your thoughts on support for Ukraine in this moment but also as commander-in-chief if elected how would you deal with Vladimir Putin and would it be any different from what we're seeing from President Biden well first of all it's important to remind the former president you're not running against Joe Biden you're running against me I believe the reason I don't what was the point of her even saying that she is the the vice president president that Donald Trump says that this war would be over within 24 hours is because he would just give it up and that's not who we are as Americans let's understand what happened here um I actually met with zansky no he said he would make a phone call to both parties to to find a way to end the end this war what Camila has just said is completely she basically just made up something a few days before Russia invaded tried through Force to change territorial boundaries to defy one of the most important International rules and Norms which is the importance of sovereignty and territorial integrity and I met with President zansky I shared with him American intelligence about how he could defend himself days later I went to NATO's Eastern flank to Poland and Romania and through the work that I and others did we brought 50 countries together to support Ukraine in its righteous defense and because of our support because of the air defense the ammunition the artillery the javelins the Abrams tanks that we have provided Ukraine stands as an independent and free country if Donald Trump were President Putin would be sitting in keev right now and understand what that would mean because Putin's agenda is not just about Ukraine understand why the European allies and our NATO allies are so thankful that you are no longer president and that we understand the importance of the greatest military Alliance the world has ever known which is NATO and what we have done to preserve the ability of zalinski and the ukrainians to fight for their independence otherwise Putin would be sitting in keev with his eyes on the rest of Europe starting with Poland and why don't you tell the 800,000 polish Americans right here in Pennsylvania how quickly you would give up for the sake of favor and what you think is a friendship with what is known to be a dictator who would eat you for lunch vice president Harris thank you we've heard from both of you on Ukraine tonight Afghanistan came up in the last hour I I wanted her to respond to something you said absolutely insane her the answers she continues to give make absolutely no sense earlier and I please I'll I'll give you a minute here Putin would be sitting in Moscow and he wouldn't have lost 300,000 men and women but he would have been sitting in Moscow quiet please he would have been sitting in Moscow much happier than he is right now but eventually you know he's got a thing that other people don't have he's got nuclear weapons they don't ever talk about that he got nuclear weapons nobody ever thinks about that and eventually maybe he'll use them and maybe hasn't been that threatening but he does have that something we don't even like to talk about nobody likes to talk about it but just so you understand they sent her to negotiate peace before this war started three days later he went in and he started the war because everything they said was weak and stupid they said the wrong things that war should have never started she was the em they sent her in to negotiate with zalinski and Putin and she did and the war started three days later and that's the kind of talent we have with her she's worse than Biden in my opinion I think he's the worst president in the history of our country she goes down as the worst vice president in the history of our country but let me tell you something she is a horrible negotiator they sent her in to negotiate as soon as they left Putin did The Invasion president Trump thank you you did bring up something you said she went to negotiate with Vladimir Putin vice president Harris have you ever met Vladimir Putin can you clarify tonight yet again I said it at the beginning of this debate you're gonna hear a bunch of Lies coming from this fellow and that is another one when I went to meet with President zansi I've now met with him over five times the reality is it has been about I don't know why she just don't say no I did not meet with him it it's a debate and they don't she doesn't understand that you you're not battling against him you're talking to the audience you're talking to the people I just standing as America always should as a leader upholding International why not just say no I didn't talk to him rules and Norms as a leader who shows strength understanding that the alliance we have around the world are dependent on our ability to look out for our friends and not favor our enemies because you adore strong men instead of caring about democracy and that is very much what is at stake here the president of the United States is commanderin-chief and the American people have a right to rely on a president who understands the significance of America's role and responsibility in terms of ensuring that there is stability and ensuring we stand up for our principles and not sell them for the for the benefit of personal flattery we've talked about Ukraine and Vladimir Putin I do want to talk about Afghanistan it came up in in the first hour of this debate I I wanted to move on to Afghanistan said Trump did the most amazing thing I've ever seen he got these countries the 28 countries at the time to pay up he said I've never seen he's the head of NATO he said I've never seen for years we were paying almost all of NATO I want to turn to Afghanistan it came up in the first hour of the debate and we witnessed a poignant moment today on Capitol Hill honoring the soldiers who Di died in the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan I do want to ask the vice president uh do you believe you bear any responsibility in the way that withdrawal play you know Mitch I think that she is reading off a uh a prompt there or t proper t a propler because I don't know the the answers that she's given make absolutely no sense even even from the first question that that was asked to her it her answer to that made no sense he he asked is there anything that you could be doing that that is better than let me see what he asked in the beginning but it was it was along the lines of hold on let me I'mma go back so we can hear exactly what he asked her honor to have you both here tonight good evening we are with the issue in this country vice president Harris you and president Trump were elected four years ago and your opponent on the stage here tonight often asks his supporters are you better off than you were four years ago when it comes to are you better off now than you were four years ago it's a question it's the first question that was asked and her answer was not simply yes economy do you believe Americans are better off than they were four years ago listen to what so I was raised as a middle class kid and I what does that have to do with anything how does that make you as an American how does that make you feel her saying something like that when she was asked are you better off now than you were four years ago I am actually the only person on this stage who has a plan that is about lifting up the middle class and working people of America I believe in the ambition that's definitely a teleprompter answer and if it's not I don't know what would make her think to answer in that way the way that withdrawal played out well I incredible jobs that he's ever seen done thank you I want to turn to Afghanistan it came up in the first hour of the debate and we witnessed a poignant moment today on Capitol Hill honoring the soldiers who died in the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan I do want to ask the vice president uh do you believe you bear any responsibility in the way that withdrawal played out well I will tell you I agreed with President Biden's decision to pull out of Afghanistan four presidents said they would and Joe Biden did and as a result America's taxpayers are not paying the $300 million a day we were paying for that endless war and as of today there is not one me M of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world the first time this Century but let's understand how we got to where we are Donald Trump when he was president negotiated one of the weakest deals you can imagine he calls himself a dealmaker even his National Security advisor said it was a weak terrible deal and here's how it went down he bypassed the Afghan government he negotiated directly with a terrorist organization called the Taliban the negotiation involved the Taliban getting 5,000 terrorist Taliban terrorists released and get this no get this and the president at the time invited the Taliban to Camp David a place of stored significance for us as Americans a place where we honor the importance of American diplomacy where we invite and receive respected world leaders and this former president as president invited them to Camp David because he does not again appreciate the role and responsibility of the president of the United States to be commanderin-chief with a level of respect and this gets back to the point of how he has consistently disparaged and demeaned members of our military fallen soldiers and the work that we must do to uphold the strength and the respect of the United States of America around the world vice president Harris thank you president Trump your response to her saying that you began the negotiations with the Taliban so if you take a look at that period of time the Taliban was killing our soldiers a lot of them with snipers and I got involved with the Taliban because the Taliban was doing the killing that's the fighting Force within Afghanistan they don't bother doing that because you know they deal with the wrong people all the time but I got involved and Abdul is the head of the Taliban he is still the head of the Taliban and I told Abdul don't do it anymore you do it anymore you're gonna have problems and he said why do you send me a picture of my house I said you're gonna have to figure that out Abdul and for 18 months we had nobody killed we did have an agreement negotiated by Mike Pompeo was a very good agreement the reason it was good it was we were getting out we would have been out faster than them but we wouldn't have lost the soldiers we wouldn't have left many Americans behind and we wouldn't have left we wouldn't have left $85 billion dollar worth of brand new beautiful military equipment behind and just to finish they blew it the agreement said you have to do this this this this this and they didn't do it they didn't do it the agreement was was terminated by us because they didn't do do what they were supposed to do and these people did the worst withdrawal and in my opinion the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country and by the way that's why Russia attacked Ukraine because they saw how incompetent she and her boss are President Trump thank you I want to move on now to race and politics in this country Mr President you recently said a vice president Harris quote I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black and now she wants to be known as black I want to ask a bigger picture question here tonight why do you believe it's appropriate to weigh in on the racial identity of your opponent I don't and I don't care I don't care what she is I don't care uh you make a big deal out of something I couldn't care less what what kind of question is that so he asked because he he said something about Camila now she's saying that she's that she she's black now and before course she wasn't saying that what for a presidential debate what does that have to do with anything I just don't get it whatever she wants to be is okay with me but those were your words so I'm asking I don't know I don't know I mean all I can say is I read where she was not black that she put out and I'll say that and then I read that she was black and that's okay either one was okay with me that's up to her that's up to her vice president Harris your thoughts on this I think it's I mean honestly I think it's a a tragedy that we have um someone who wants to be president who has consistently over the course of his career attempted to use race to divide the American people you know I do believe that the vast majority of us know that we have so much more in common than what separates us and we don't want this kind of approach that is just constantly trying to divide us and especially by and let's remember how Donald Trump started he was a a a a land he had owned land he owned buildings and he he was investigated because he refused to rent property to black families let's remember this is the same individual who took out a full page ad in the New York Times calling for the execution of five young black and Latino boys who were innocent the Central Park 5 took out a full page ad calling for their execution this is the same individual who spread bir or lies about the first black president of the United States and I think the American people want better than that want better than this want someone who understands as I do I travel our country we see in each other a friend we see in each other a neighbor we don't want a leader who is constantly trying to have Americans Point their fingers at each other I meet with people all the time who tell me can we please just have discourse about how we're going to invest in the aspirations and the Ambitions and the dreams of the American people so if you had them say that to you why hasn't she said anything about that all she keeps saying is Trump did this bad four years ago but she not saying nothing about what's been done since then all all the things that she's saying they that we're be we're battling with as a people is because of trump but they've been in office for four years and haven't reversed anything or haven't done or haven't fixed any of the problems is this is crazy man this is a 2024 presidential debate and this is what we dealing with knowing that regardless of people's color or the language their grandmother speaks we all what all have the same dreams and aspirations and Want a President Who invests in those not in hate and division vice president Harris thank you Lindsay president Trump this is now your third time this is the most divisive presidency in the history of our country there's never been anything like it they're destroying our country and they come up with things like what she just said going back many many years when a lot of people including May Bloomberg agreed with me on the central five they admitted they said they plad guilty and I said well if they plad guilty they'd badly hurt a person killed a person ultimately and if they pled guilty then they pled we're not guilty but this is a person that has to stretch back years 40 50 years ago because there's nothing now I built one of the greatest economies in the history of the world and I'm going to build it again it's going to be bigger better and stronger but they're destroying our economy they have no idea what a good economy is their oil policies every single policy and remember this she is Biden you know she's trying to get away from Biden I don't know the gentleman she says she is Biden the worst inflation we've ever had a horrible economy because inflation has made it so bad and she can't get away with that thank you your time is up I want to respond to that I want to just respond briefly clearly I am not Joe Biden and I certainly not Donald Trump and what I do offer is a new generation of leadership for our country one who believes in what is possible one who brings a sense of optimism about what we can do instead of always disparaging the American people I believe in what we can do to strengthen our small businesses which is why I have a plan let's talk about our plans and then let's compare the plans I have a plan to give startup businesses $50,000 tax deduction to pursue their Ambitions their Innovation their ideas their hard work I have a plan $66,000 for young families for the first year of your child's life to help you in that most critical oh my goodness nasty T we gonna give y'all money and it it's just ridiculous I can't anybody who takes her serious I just don't understand how how you could or have any put any faith in what she's doing or or what she says she's gonna do because for four years she was vice president and nothing happened stage of your child's development I have a plan that is about allowing people to be able to pursue what has been fleeting in terms of the American dream by offering a help with down payment of $225,000 down payment assistance for first-time home buyers that's the kind of conversation I believe David that people really want tonight as opposed to a conversation that is constantly about belittling and name calling let's exactly what she's doing this whole entire this the beginning of this interview or or this debate she said I was born middle class yeah uh I don't know what her answer should have simply been yes we're much better off now than we were four years ago but that was not the answer the answer was she's she's she was born into a middle class family that was it and and then she she's given this spill about about how how she's going to help the American person or help the American people by giving out more money to for them to start businesses and everything like that when she doesn't she's she doesn't she's never been a business owner it's unbelievable and it's crazy that she would say that and she's standing across from a b from a former business owner or not former a a business owner Turn the Page president haris thank you let's turn to policy let move on President Trump let's turn to policy please a plan to defund the police she has a plan to confiscate everybody's gun president not allow fracking in Pennsylvania or anywhere else that's what her plan is until just recently need former president has said something twice that I need to respond to I'm sorry we're we're going to move on Vice I agree with you mi M she she shouldn't have never taken on this debate because I don't know for one she doesn't have any type of debate skill I can't believe in and you debating to be president and you can't even handle us this some something as simple as this she wasn't even ask anything difficult and yeah me you say keep printing money on air that's why the economy and everything so bad now that's why inflation has gone through the roof it's terrible man president Trump this is now your third time running for president you have long vowed to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act also known as Obamacare you have failed to accomplish that you now say you're going to keep Obamacare quote unless we can do something much better last month you said quote we're working on it so tonight nine years after you first started running do you have a plan and can you tell us what it is Obamacare was lousy Health Care always was it's not very good today and what I said that if we come up with something and we are working on things we're going to do it and we're going to replace it but remember this I inherited Obamacare because Democrats wouldn't change it they wouldn't vote for it they were unanimous they wouldn't vote to change it if they would have done that we would have had a much better plan than Obamacare but the Democrats came up they wouldn't vote for it I had a choice to make when I was President do I save it and make it as good as it can be never going to be great or do I let it rot and I felt I had an obligation even though politically it would have been good to just let it rot and let it go away I decided and I told my people the top people and they very good people I have a lot of good people in this that Administration we read about the bad ones we had some real bad ones too and so do they they have really bad ones the difference is they don't get rid of them but let me just explain I had a choice to make do I save it and make it as good as it can be or do I let it rot and I saved it I did the right thing but it's still never going to be great and it's too expensive for people and what we will do is we looking at different plans if we can come up with a plan that's going to cost our people our population less money and be better health care than Obamacare then I would absolutely do it but until then I'd run it as good as it can be run so just a Yer know you still do not have a plan I have concepts of a plan I'm not president right now but if we come up with something I would only change it if we come up with something that's better and less expensive and there are Concepts and options we we have to do that and you'll be hearing about it in the not too distant future vice president Harris in 2017 you supported Bernie Sanders proposal to do away with private insurance and create a government-run Health Care System two years later you proposed a plan that included a private insurance option what is your plan today well first of all I absolutely support important over the last four years as vice president private healthcare options but what we need to do is maintain and grow the Affordable Care Act but I I I'll get to that Lindsay I just need to respond to a previous point that the former president has made I've made very clear my position on fracking and then this business about taking everyone's guns away Tim Walls and I are both gun owners we're not taking anybody's guns away so stop with the continuous lying about this for one she did she she said everything about taking away guns and all that I remember her say uh I watched a video of her saying that so you know she trying to to the Affordable Care Act understand let just look at the history nothing she say is making sense or truth in any way even if you even if you think Trump kind of he doesn't say the truth all the time or he says a above above truth or what whatever you have to say about him you know that having Harris as president is is it's just it's it's going to be the same if not worse than what's going on right now with Biden she she is Biden's help right now to know where people stand when Donald Trump was President 60 times he tried to get rid of the Affordable Care Act 60 times I was a Senator at the time when I will never forget the early morning hours when it was up for a vote in the United States Senate and the late great John McCain who you have disparaged as being you don't like him you said at the time because he got caught he was an American hero the late great John McCain I will never forget that night walked onto the Senate flooor and said no you don't no you don't no you don't get rid of the Affordable Care Act you have no plan and what the Affordable Care Act has done is eliminate the ability of insurance companies to deny people with pre-existing conditions I don't have to tell the people watching tonight you remember what that was like remember when an insurance company could deny if a child had asthma if someone was a breast cancer survivor if a if a grandpar had diabetes and thankfully as I've been vice president and we over the last four years have strengthened the Affordable Care Act we have allowed for the first time Medicare to negotiate drug prices on behalf of you the American people Donald Trump said he was going to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices he never did we did and now we have capped the cost of insulin at $35 a month since I've been Vice President we have capped the cost of prescription medication for seniors at $2,000 a year and when I am president we will do that for all people understanding that the value I bring to this is that access to health care should be a right and not just a privilege of those who can afford it and the plan has to be to strengthen the Affordable Care Act not get rid of it in terms of where Donald Trump stands on that I want to move to an issue that's important for a lot made a mistake at number one John McCain fought Obamacare for 10 years but wasn't only him it were all of the Democrats that kept it going and you know what we can do much better than Obamacare much less money but she won't improve private insurance for people private medical insurance that's another thing she doesn't want to get people are paying privately for insurance that have worked hard and made money and they want to have private she wants everybody to be on government insurance where you wait six months for an operation that you need immediately president Trump thank you we have another issue that we'd like to get to that's important for a number of Americans in particular younger voters and that's climate change president Trump with regard to the environment so y'all see this line of questioning is just insane but now they're talking about climate change which you say that we have younger voters and that's climate change president Trump with regard to the environment you say that we have to have clean air and clean water vice president Harris you call climate change an existential threat the question to you both tonight is what would you do to fight climate change and vice what would you do to fight uh climate change that that shouldn't even be a question at a presidential debate but okay what are you gonna do what are you gonna do to fight climate change president Harris we'll start with you one minute for you each well the former president had said the climate change is a hoax and what we know is that it is very real you ask anyone who lives in a state who has experienced these extreme weather occurrences who now is either being denied home insurance or it's being jacked up you ask anybody who has been um the victim of what that means in terms of losing their home having nowhere to go right Mitch so you watching this like I'm watching this man this is all of this is like for a presidential debate in 2024 this is absolutely insane and uh to ask what are what are you gonna do about climate change let nature handle nature what do you mean we and that's right you you let nature handle nature and you just that's that's what you do to help climate change I don't the fact that they even ask that question is insane you know that we can actually deal with this issue the young people of America care deeply about this issue and I am proud that as vice president over the last four years the young people of the nation care deeply about climate change nobody cares about climate change for real or maybe I'm not young enough we have invested a trillion dollars in a clean energy economy while we have also increased domestic gas production to Historic levels we have created over 800,000 new manufacturing jobs while I have been Vice President we have invested in clean energy to the point that we are opening up factories around the world Donald Trump said he was going to create manufacturing jobs he lost manufacturing jobs and I'm also proud to have the endorsement of the United Auto Workers and Shan feain who also know that part of building a clean energy economy includes investing in American made products American automobiles it includes growing what we can do around American manufacturing and opening up Auto plants not closing them like Happ happened under Donald Trump vice president Harris thank you that didn't happen under Donald Trump let me just tell you they lost 10,000 manufacturing jobs this last month it's going they're all leaving uh they're building big Auto plants in Mexico in many cases owned by China they're building these massive plants and they think they're going to sell their cars into the United States because of these people what they have given to China is unbelievable but we're not going to let that we'll put tariffs on those cars so they can't into our country because they will kill the United Auto Workers and any auto worker whether it's in Detroit or South Carolina or any other place what they've done to business and Manufacturing in this country is horrible we have nothing because they they refuse you know Biden doesn't go after people because supposedly China paid him millions of dollars he's afraid to do it between him and his son they get all this money from Ukraine they get all this money from all of these different countries and then you wonder why is he so loyal to this one that one Ukraine China why is he why did he get $3 and A5 million dollar from the mayor of moscow's wife why did he get why did she pay him three and a half million dollar this is a crooked Administration and they're selling our country down the tubes president Trump thank you thank you we'll be right back with closing statements from both of our candidates and historic night this ABC News presidential debate from Philadelphia back in a moment [Music] the ABC News presidential debate will continue after this in 2024 you right Mitch unbelievable man I can't believe this is what we dealing with right now and when I come back to the States this is what I'mma have to deal with so we about to play the the ending of this the closing comments that these two have to say I just can't it just seems so unbelievable that so so unbelievable that this is what we dealing with for the for the nation live from the national Constitution Center in Philadelphia Pennsylvania yeah what's up Lou what what are your thoughts on this man were were you able to see this debate live or uh the or rewatched it anything like that were you able to see it and what are your thoughts on what were your thoughts on it just seeing it is it's so mindblowing to me I can't I cann't imagine watching this with my family or seeing this live when it was happening it's so unbelievable Here Again David M and Lindsey Davis welcome back tonight the time has come for closing statements and vice president Harris we begin with you so I think you've heard tonight two very different Visions for our country one that is focused on the future and the other that is focused on the past and in so one is about the future and one is what's f is focused on the past she's the one that's focused on the one that's focusing on the past and Trump is the one looking in the future based on what this debate Is Telling Me pro if you want to just talk about how this debate has went the first the first question was was is it better now with you with y'all in the office and her direct response to that was I was born middle class it her response wasn't yes it's better now you I just don't understand her concept or the con the concept that she coming up with it's just insane attempt to take us backward but we're not going what you keep going backward you keep saying what what Trump did four four years ago when when he was president instead of saying what what changes y'all have made in the four years that you've been in office as vice president you you didn't say nothing about your vice president uh ACS maybe kind of you you may be leaning to a little bit but not really I just going back and and I do believe that the American people know we all have so much more in common than what separates us and we can chart a new way forward and a vision of that includes having a plan understanding the aspirations the dreams the hopes the ambition of the American people which is why I intend to create an opport you right Lou I I don't mean to stop the stop the stream but you you absolutely right I'm I'm thinking man we we got real problems going on right now I can't believe this is the 2024 presidential debate this is what we dealing with this time exactly you know I just don't see what hares is if anybody believes what Harris is saying or how if they believe that it's going to be beneficial it's insane how would you believe that and listening to her speak in a in a debate like this Al does it def deflect and change topic anything not anything to not answer yeah all all she's saying is Trump did this and you know we have this problem because Trump did this instead of saying well this is what me and Biden were able to do instead of her answer to the question being this is what we're doing to fix that she keep all she saying is four years ago this is what was like basically you know I said earlier it's like she's basically saying Biden didn't do anything and I I didn't do anything because I was attached to him that's basically what what she's saying over and over again which is insane and for her to have this speech at the at the end and say one is about the future and and one is about the past opportunity economy in investing in small businesses in new families in what we can do around protecting seniors what we can do that is about giving hardworking folks a break and bringing down the cost of living I believe in what we can do together that is about sustaining America's standing in the world and ensuring that we have the respect that we so rightly deserve including respecting our military and ensuring we have the most lethal fighting force in the world I will be a president that will protect our fundamental rights and freedoms including the right of a woman to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do I'll tell you I started my career as a prosecutor I was a DA I was an attorney general and put a lot of people in jail United States Senator now Vice President I've only had one client the people and I'll tell you as a prosecutor I never asked a victim or a witness are you a Republican or a Democrat the only thing I ever ask them are you okay and that's the kind of President we need right now someone who cares about you and is not putting themselves first I intend that's exactly what she's doing to be a president for all Americans and focus on what we can do over the next 10 and 20 years to build back up our country so she saying that's what we're going to do in in the next 10 20 years but haven't done any of this in the past four years that he's been vice president by investing right now in you the American people vice president Harris thank you president Trump so she just started by saying she's going to do this she's going to do that she's going to do all these wonderful things why hasn't she done it she's been there for three and a half years that's that's the question that I'm asking why has she done it yet that's I don't know if everybody else is saying that in their mind but that's exactly what I'm thinking why hasn't it been done yet me say she tried so hard not to say anything about right now exactly that's and that's the thing she just keep talking about and that's that's what Trump is going on right now going on about right now if she keep saying oh we're gonna do this and but what have you done right now they've had three and a half years to fix the Border they've had three and a half years to create jobs and all the things we talked about why hasn't she done it she should leave right now go down to that beautiful white house go to the capital get everyone together and do the things you want to do but you haven't done it and you won't do it because you believe in things that the American people don't believe in you believe in things like we're not going to Frack we're not going to take fossil fuel we're not going to do things that are going to make this country strong whether you like it or not Germany tried that and within one year there were back to building normal energy plants we're not ready for it we can't sacrifice our country for the sake of bad Vision but I just ask one simple question why didn't she do it we're a failing Nation We're a nation that's in serious decline we're being laughed at all over the world all over the world they're laugh I know the leaders very well they're coming to see me they call me we're laughed at all over the world they don't understand what happened to us as a nation we're not a leader we don't have any idea what's going on we have wars going on in the Middle East we have wars going on with Russia and Ukraine we're gonna end up in a third world war and it'll be a war like no other because of nuclear weapons the power of Weaponry I rebuilt our entire military she gave a lot of it away to the Taliban she gave it to Afghanistan what these people have done to our country and maybe toughest of all is allowing millions of people to come into our country many of them are criminals and they're destroying our country the worst president the worst vice president in the history of our country president Trump thank you and that is our ABC News presidential debate from here in Philadelphia at the national Constitution Center I'm lindsy Davis and I'm David mure thank you for watching here in the US and all over the world and from all of us here at ABC News good night man and this was presented to the world and how are we as Americans right now as an American how how do you feel about this man I don't know what is going on with with Harris right now nothing she didn't say anything about what what she stood up and did to change everything she keep that she brought about as a topic was oh Trump did this bad four years ago instead of saying well and in the past four years we've done this yeah man this this one was you know I didn't I don't think I've ever been this invested in a in a presidential debate in a long time but I can't believe this is what's going to be presented to the world everybody's able to see this unbelievable St so arst you know what do y'all think about this I mean even even if you are not a fan of Donald Trump for whatever reason you can't be a f fan of camela Harris and she kept trying to bring up her being a woman she she kept she just kept trying to bring up the issues that are relevant to her gender I noticed that and I think she's doing that to get more women on her side but it's absolutely insane let me say everybody causes division but her apparently I guess that's what she it was bad man all right y'all I'm let y'all hit me in the comment section of this video when it drops and I'm gonna be doing another stream about more thoughts and ideas that I have about what's going on right now until then AWB I'm out I appreciate everybody for stopping by and checking out this stream
