you got right here yeah it's almost done I mean there's some little tweaks and I'm going to um you know work on it probably starting tomorrow for next couple days it's coming I feel good it's much of what you've probably heard me talk about before in terms of just what I believe to be the promise of America and the fact that we're all in this and um there's obviously a lot at stake but there's also a lot to feel good about in terms of the future of our country so there will be a lot that is about what I believe is a way forward a new way forward and bringing everyone along in that your some economic policies last week can you explain how you're going to pay for those sense of what other policies you want to unveil going forward sure well I mean you just look at it in terms of what we are talking about for example around children and the child tax credit and extending the eitc that it's at $6,000 for the first year of a child's life the return on that investment in terms of what that will do and what it will pay for will be tremendous we've seen it when we did it the first year of our Administration red we redu top povery by over 50% so that's a lot of the work and then we're do in terms of the tax credits we know that there's a great return on investment when we increase home ownership in America what that means in terms of increasing the tax base not to mention property tax base what that does to fund schools again return on investment I think it's a mistake for any person who talks about public policy to not critically evaluate how you measure the return on investment when you are strengthening neighborhood strengthening communities and in particular the economy of those communities and investing in a broad based economy everybody benefits and it pays for itself in that way um what's your response to this you still consider yourself the underdog here I very much consider us the underdog we have a lot of work to do to earn the vote of the American people that's why we're on this bus tour today and we're going to be traveling this country as we've been and talking with folks listening to folks and hopefully earning their votes over the next 79 days Dar one more last one since you became the Democratic nominee do you feel like we have brown to make go here I feel like we need to earn everyone's vote and that means being on the road being in communities where people are where they live whether it be a high school football team and being there at their Public School while they're there at practice and talking to their coaches whether it means going to the local fire station and talking with our incredible firefighters about what they need and what they have a right to expect such as that we are going to pay attention to how they give up so much to keep communities safe what they do to preserve what we want in terms of the quality of life and we need to give it back to them in terms of better equipment and the work that they do every day so I'm going to be out here with Tim with second gentleman with Mrs walls and we're going to be working on earning every vote between now and November last question you think is prime minister Netanyahu is ready to to agree to a ceasefire deal I will not him but I will tell you that these conversations are ongoing and we are not giving up and we are going to continue to work very hard on this we got to get a SE and we got to get the sausages out
