Watch the first 2024 presidential debate between Harris and Trump

TWO MINUTES FOR REBUTTALS AND ONE MINUTE FOR FOLLOW-UP, CLARIFICATION, OR RESPONSES. NO PREWRITTEN NOTES ALLOWED. THERE ISO AUDIENCE TONIGHT HERE IN THIS HALL. THIS IS AN INTIMATE SETTING FOUR -- FOR 2 CANDIDATES WHO HAVE NEVER MET. >> DELIVERING THE FINAL COMMENT OF THE EVENING. >> LET'S WELCOME THE CANDIDATES, VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS AND FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. >> KAMALA HARRIS. >> WELCOME TO YOU BOTH. IT'S WONDERFUL TO HAVE YOU BOTH HERE TONIGHT. >> GOOD EVENING. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO A SPIRITED AND THOUGHTFUL DEBATE. >> LET'S GET STARTED. AN ISSUE THEY SAY IS THEIR NUMBER ONE ISSUE, THE ECONOMY AND COST-OF-LIVING. 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 THE ECONOMY, DO YOU THINK AMERICANS ARE BETTER OFF THAN FOUR YEARS AGO? >> I WAS RAISED AS A MIDDLE- CLASS KID. I'M ACTUALLY THE ONLY PERSON ON THIS STAGE WHO HAS A PLAN THAT IS ABOUT LIFT UP THE MIDDLE CLASS AND WORKING PEOPLE OF AMERICA. I BELIEVE IN THE AMBITION, THE ASPIRATION, THE DREAMS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THAT IS WHY I IMAGINE AND HAVE ACTUALLY EVER PLAN TO BUILD WHAT I CALL AN OPPORTUNITY ECONOMY. HERE'S THE THING, WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE A SHORTAGE OF HOMES AND HOUSING. THE COST OF HOUSING IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR FAR TOO MANY PEOPLE. WE KNOW THAT YOUNG FAMILIES NEED SUPPORT TO RAISE THEIR CHILDREN. I INTEND ON EXTENDING A TAX CUT FOR THOSE FAMILIES OF $6000, WHICH IS THE LARGEST CHILD TAX CREDIT WE HAVE GIVEN IN A LONG TIME. SO THAT THOSE YOUNG FAMILIES CAN AFFORD TO BUY A CRIB, A CARSEY, CLOSE FOR THEIR CHILDREN. MY PASSION, ONE OF THEM, ITS SMALL BUSINESSES. MY MOTHER RAISED MY SISTER AND ME, BUT THERE WAS A WOMAN WHO HELPED RAISE US. WE CALLED HER OUR SECOND MOTHER. SHE WAS A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER. I LOVE OUR SMALL BUSINESSES. MY PLAN IS TO GET A $50,000 TAX REDUCTION TO START UP SMALL BUSINESSES, KNOWING THEY ARE PART OF THE BACKBONE OF AMERICA'S ECONOMY. MY OPPONENT, HIS PLAN IS TO DO WHAT HE'S DONE BEFORE, TO PROVIDE A TAX CUT FOR BILLIONAIRES AND BIG CORPORATIONS, WHICH WOULD RESULT IN $5 TRILLION TO AMERICA'S DEFICIT. MY OPPONENT HAS A PLAN THAT I CALL THE TRUMP SALES TAX, A 20% TAX ON EVERYDAY GOODS THAT YOU RELY ON TO GET THROUGH THE MONTH. ECONOMISTS HAVE SAID THAT THAT TRUMP SALES TAX WOULD ACTUALLY RESOLVE FOR MIDDLE-CLASS FAMILIES IN ABOUT $4000 MORE A YEAR BECAUSE OF HIS POLICIES AND HIS IDEAS ABOUT WHAT SHOULD BE THE BACKS OF MIDDLE-CLASS PEOPLE PAYING FOR TAX CUTS FOR BILLIONAIRES. >> PRESIDENT TRUMP, I WILL GIVE YOU TWO MINUTES. >> FIRST OF ALL, I HAVE NO SALES TAX. THAT'S AN INCORRECT STATEMENT. WE ARE DOING TARIFFS ON OTHER COUNTRIES. OTHER COUNTRIES, FINALLY AFTER 75 YEARS, THEY WILL PAY US BACK FOR ALL WE'VE DONE FOR THE WORLD. THE TARIFF WILL BE SUBSTANTIAL IN SOME CASES. I TOOK IN BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM CHINA. THEY NEVER TOOK THE TARIFF OFF. IT WAS SO MUCH MONEY, THEY CAN'T. IT WILL TOTALLY DESTROY EVERYTHING THEY'VE SET OUT TO DO. TAKING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM CHINA AND OTHER PLACES. WHEN I HAD IT, I HAD TARIFFS AND NO INFLATION. WE'VE HAD A TERRIBLE IN CLAY -- A TERRIBLE ECONOMY. WE HAVE INFLATION LIKE VERY FEW PEOPLE HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE. PROBABLY THE WORST IN OUR NATIONS HISTORY. WE WERE AT 21%, BUT THAT'S BEING GENEROUS. MANY THINGS ARE 50,, 60, 70, AND 80% HIGHER THAN A FEW YEARS AGO. THIS HAS BEEN A DISASTER FOR EVERY CLASS. ON TOP OF THAT, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE POURING INTO OUR COUNTRY FROM PRISON, JAIL, FROM MENTAL INSTITUTIONS AND INSANE ASYLUM'S. THEY ARE COMING IN AND TAKING JOBS THAT ARE OCCUPIED RIGHT NOW BY AFRICAN-AMERICANS AND HISPANICS, ALSO UNIONS. UNIONS WILL BE AFFECTED VERY SOON. YOU SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH TOWNS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. YOU LOOK AT SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, AURORA IN COLORADO. THEY ARE TAKING OVER THE TOWNS, TAKING OVER BUILDINGS. GOING IN VIOLENTLY. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT SHE AND BIDEN LED INTO OUR COUNTRY, AND THEY ARE DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY. THEY ARE DANGEROUS. THEY ARE AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF CRIMINALITY. AND WE HAVE TO GET THEM OUT. WE HAVE TO GET THEM OUT FAST. I CREATED ONE OF THE GREATEST ECONOMIES IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY. I WOULD DO IT AGAIN AND EVEN BETTER. >> WE ARE GOING TO GET TO IMMIGRATION AND BORDER SECURITY DURING THIS DEBATE. I WOULD LIKE TO LET VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS RESPOND. >> I WOULD LOVE TO. LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT DONALD TRUMP LEFT US. DONALD TRUMP LEFT US THE WORST UNEMPLOYMENT SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION. DONALD TRUMP LEFT US THE WORST PUBLIC HEALTH EPIDEMIC IN A CENTURY. DONALD TRUMP LEFT US THE WORST ATTACK ON OUR DEMOCRACY SINCE THE CIVIL WAR. AND WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS CLEAN UP DONALD TRUMP SMITH. WHAT WE HAVE DONE, AND WHAT I INTEND TO DO IS BUILD ON WHAT WE KNOW ARE THE ASPIRATIONS IN THE HOPES OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. I'M GOING TO TELL Y'ALL ON THIS DEBATE TONIGHT, YOU WILL HEAR FROM THE SAME OLD TIRED PLAYBOOK. A BUNCH OF LIES, GRIEVANCES AND NAME-CALLING. WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR TONIGHT IS A DETAILED AND DANGEROUS PLAN CALLED PROJECT 2025 THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT INTENDS ON IMPLEMENTING IF YOU WERE ELECTED AGAIN. I BELIEVE VERY STRONGLY THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT A PRESIDENT WHO UNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE OF BRINGING US TOGETHER WHEN WE HAVE SO MUCH MORE IN COMMON THAN WHAT SEPARATES US. AND I PLEDGE TO YOU TO BE A PRESIDENT FOR ALL AMERICANS. >> PRESIDENT TRUMP, WE WILL GIVE YOU A MINUTE TO RESPOND. >> AS YOU KNOW, AND SHE KNOWS BETTER THAN ANYONE, I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH PROJECT 2025. THAT'S OUT THERE. I HAVEN'T READ IT. I DON'T WANT TO READ IT. THIS IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT GOT TOGETHER, CAME UP WITH SOME IDEAS. SOME GOOD, SOME BAD, BUT IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. EVERYBODY KNOWS I'M AN OPEN BOOK. I WILL CUT TAXES VERY SUBSTANTIALLY AND CREATE A GREAT ECONOMY LIKE I DID BEFORE. WE HAD THE GREATEST ECONOMY. WE GOT HIT WITH A PANDEMIC. NOT SINCE 1917 WHERE 100 MILLION PEOPLE DIED HAS THERE BEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. WE DID A PHENOMENAL JOB WITH THE PANDEMIC. WE HAD THEM OVER A COUNTRY WHERE THE ECONOMY AND STOCK MARKET WAS HIGHER THAN IT WAS BEFORE THE PANDEMIC CAME IN. NOBODIES EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. WE MADE VENTILATORS FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD. WE DID THINGS NOBODY THOUGHT POSSIBLE. PEOPLE GIVE ME CREDIT FOR REBUILDING THE MILITARY, BUT NOT ENOUGH. THE ONLY JOBS HEY GOT WERE BOUNCED BACK JOBS. IT BOUNCED BACK AND WENT TO THEIR BENEFIT. I WAS THE ONE THAT CREATED IT. THEY KNOW, AND SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE. >> VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, I WILL LET YOU RESPOND. >> SO, DONALD TRUMP HAS NO PLAN FOR YOU. IT'S ALL ABOUT TAX BREAKS FOR THE RICHEST PEOPLE. I'M OFFERING WHAT I DESCRIBED AS AN OPPORTUNITY ECONOMY. THE BEST ECONOMISTS IN OUR COUNTRY, IF NOT THE WORLD, HAVE REVIEWED OUR RELATIVE PLANS FOR THE FUTURE OF AMERICA. WHAT GOLDMAN SACHS HAS SAID IS THAT DONALD TRUMP'S PLAN WOULD MAKE THE ECONOMY WORSE, MINE WOULD STRENGTHEN THE ECONOMY. WHAT THE WHARTON SOON -- WHARTON SCHOOL SAYS , DONALD TRUMP'S PLAN WOULD EXPLOIT THE DEFICIT. HIS ECONOMIC PLAN WOULD INCREASE INFLATION. AND BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT YEAR, IT WOULD INVITE A RECESSION. YOU JUST HAVE TO DID LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE STAND ON THESE ISSUES. I WOULD INVITE YOU TO KNOW THAT DONALD TRUMP ACTUALLY HAS NO PLAN FOR YOU. HE'S MORE INTERESTED IN DEFENDING HIMSELF THAN HE IS IN LOOKING OUT FOR YOU. >> THAT'S JUST A SOUND BITE THAT THEY GAVE HER TO SAY. I WENT TO THE WHARTON SCHOOL OF FINANCE. MANY PROFESSORS THINK MY PLAN IS A BRILLIANT PLAN. IT'S A GREAT PLAN. IT WILL BRING UP OUR WARES, OUR VALUE. CREATING JOBS, A LOT OF GOOD, SOLID MONEY FOR OUR COUNTRY. SHE COPIED BIDEN'S PLAN. AND IT'S LIKE FOUR SENTENCES, LIKE RUN, SPOT, RUN. FOUR SENTENCES THAT ARE LIKE, OH, WE WILL TRY TO LOWER TAXES. TAKE A LOOK AT HER PLAN, SHE DOESN'T HAVE ONE. >> SOMETHING YOU BOTH BROUGHT UP, THE VICE PRESIDENT BROUGHT UP YOUR TEARS, YOU RESPONDED. LET'S DRILL DOWN ON THIS. YOUR PLAN IS WHAT SHE CALLS A NATIONAL PLAN TAX. YOU RECENTLY SAID YOU MIGHT DOUBLE YOUR PLAN. TEARS UP TO 20% ON GOODS COMING IN THIS COUNTRY. VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS HAS ARGUED THERE WILL BE HIGHER PRICES ON GAS, FOOD. COSTING THE TYPICAL FAMILY NEARLY $4000 A YEAR. >> THEY WILL NOT HAVE HIGHER PRICES. WILL HAVE HIGHER PRICES IS CHINA AND ALL THE COUNTRIES THAT HAVE BEEN LISTING FOR YEARS. HUNDREDS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. YOU KNOW, IF SHE DOESN'T LIKE HIM, THEY SHOULD HAVE GONE OUT AND IMMEDIATELY CUT THE TEARS. -- TARIFFS. WE WILL TAKE IN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. I HAD NO INFLATION. VIRTUALLY NO INFLATION. THEY HAD THE HIGHEST INFLATION PERHAPS IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY. I'VE NEVER SEEN A WORSE PERIOD OF TIME. PEOPLE CAN BUY CEREAL, BACON, EGGS, OR ANYTHING ELSE. THESE PEOPLE ARE ABSOLUTELY DYING WITH WHAT THEY'VE DONE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT A POLL. 80, 85, AND EVEN 90% THAT THE TRUMP ECONOMY WAS GREAT AND THEIR ECONOMY WAS TERRIBLE. >> VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, I DO WANT TO ASK FOR YOUR RESPONSE. THE BY THE TEAM DID KEEP A NUMBER OF THE TEARS IN PLACE. >> LET'S BE CLEAR THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION RESULTED IN A TRADE DEFICIT, ONE OF THE HIGHEST WE'VE EVER SEEN IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICA. HE INVITED TRADE WARS. YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT HIS DEAL WITH CHINA? WHAT HE ENDED UP DOING UNDER DONALD TRUMP'S PRESIDENCY, HE ENDED UP SELLING AMERICAN SHIPS TO CHINA TO HELP THEM IMPROVE AND MODERNIZE THEIR MILITARY, BASICALLY SOLD US OUT. THE POLICY SHOULD BE IN MAKING SURE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WINS THE COMPETITION FOR THE 21st CENTURY, WHICH MEANS FOCUSING ON THE DETAILS OF WHAT THAT REQUIRES, FOCUSING ON RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR ALLIES, INVESTING IN AMERICAN- BASED TECHNOLOGIES SO THAT WE WIN THE RACE ON AIM QUANTUM COMPUTING, FOCUSING ON WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO SUPPORT AMERICA'S WORKFORCE, SO THAT WE DON'T END UP ON THE SHORT END OF THE STICK. WHAT DONALD TRUMP DID, LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS. HE ACTUALLY THANKED PRESIDENT XI JINPING FOR WHAT HE DID. THANK YOU PRESIDENT XI, WHEN WE KNOW THAT XI WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR LACKING AND NOT GIVING US TRANSPARENCY ABOUT THE ORIGINS OF COVID. >> TRUMP, I WILL LET YOU RESPOND. >> THEY BOUGHT THE CHIPS FROM TAIWAN. WE HARDLY DO THAT BECAUSE OF PHILOSOPHIES THEY HAVE. SHE HAS NO POLICY. EVERYTHING SHE BELIEVED THREE YEARS AGO AND FOUR YEARS AGO IS OUT THE WINDOW. SHE'S GOING TO MY PHILOSOPHY NOW. IN FACT, I WAS GOING TO SEND HER A MAGA HAT. IF SHE EVER GOT ELECTED, SHE WOULD CHANGE THAT. EVERYONE KNOWS SHE IS A MARXIST. HER FATHER IS A MARXIST PROFESSOR IN ECONOMICS. HE TAUGHT HER WELL. WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT SHE'S DONE, YOU LOOK AT THESE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE POURING IN MONTHLY, WHY BELIEVE IT IS 21 MILLION PEOPLE, NOT 15 MILLION. I THINK IT'S A LOT HIGHER THAN THE 21. THAT'S BIGGER THAN NEW YORK STATE, POURING IN. LOOK AT WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO OUR COUNTRY. MANY OF THESE PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS. THAT'S BAD FOR OUR ECONOMY, TOO. WE WILL TALK ABOUT IMMIGRATION LATER. BAD IMMIGRATION IS THE WORST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN TO OUR ECONOMY. THEY HAVE AND SHE HAS DESTROYED OUR COUNTRY WITH POLICY THAT'S INSANE. ALMOST POLICY THAT YOU SAY THAT HAVE TO HATE OUR COUNTRY. >> PRESIDENT TRUMP, THANK YOU. LINSEY? >> YOU OFTEN HAVE TOUTED THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO KILL ROE V. WADE. AND THEN LAST MONTH, YOU SAID YOU ADMINISTRATION WOULD BE GREAT FOR WOMEN AND THEIR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS. IN YOUR HOME STATE OF FLORIDA, HE SURPRISED MANY IN REGARD TO YOUR SIX WEEK ABORTION BAN. INITIALLY, YOU SAID IT WAS TOO SHORT. YOU SAID, I'M GOING TO BE VOTING THAT WE NEED MORE THAN SIX WEEKS. THE VERY NEXT DAY, YOU WILL REVERSE COURSE, SAYING YOU WOULD VOTE TO SUPPORT THE BAN. VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS SAYS WOMEN SHOULD NOT SUPPORT YOU ON THIS BECAUSE YOU'VE CHANGED YOUR POSITION SO MANY TIMES. >> THE REASON I'M DOING THAT BOAT, BECAUSE THE PLAN IS, AS YOU KNOW THE VOTE IS, THEY HAVE ABORTION IN THE NINTH MONTH. YOU CAN LOOK AT THE GOVERNOR WEST VIRGINIA, THE PREVIOUS GOVERNOR OF WEST VIRGINIA, NOT THE CURRENT ONE. HE'S DOING A GREAT JOB. BEFORE, IS THAT THE BABY ILL BE BORN, AND WE WILL DECIDE TO DO WITH THE BABY. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY SAID WE WOULD EXECUTE THE BABY. THAT'S WHY DID THAT. THE DEMOCRATS ARE RADICAL IN THAT. HER VICE PRESIDENTIAL PICK, WHICH IS A HORRIBLE PICK BY THE WAY FOR OUR COUNTRY, HE IS REALLY OUT OF IT. HER VICE PRESIDENTIAL PICK SAYS ABORTION IN THE NINTH MONTH IS ABSOLUTELY FINE. HE ALSO SAYS EXECUTION AFTER BIRTH, NO LONGER ABORTION BECAUSE THE BABY IS BORN, IS OKAY. THAT'S NOT OKAY WITH ME, HENCE THE VOTE. BUT WHAT I DID, SOMETHING FOR 52 YEARS, THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET ROE V. WADE INTO THE STATES. AND THROUGH THE GENIUS STRENGTH OF SIX SUPREME COURT JUSTICES, WE WERE ABLE TO DO THAT. I BELIEVE IN THE EXCEPTIONS FOR , INCEST, AND LIFE OF THE MOTHER. I BELIEVE STRONGLY IN IT. 85% OF REPUBLICANS DO. WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT. NOW STATES ARE VOTING ON IT. FOR THE FIRST TIME, YOU WILL SEE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS TORN OUR COUNTRY APART FOR 52 YEARS. EVERY LEGAL SCHOLAR, EVERY DEMOCRAT, EVERY REPUBLICAN, LIBERAL, CONSERVATIVE, THEY'VE ALL WANTED THIS ISSUE TO BE BROUGHT BACK. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. NOW OHIO, THE VOTE WAS SOMEWHAT LIBERAL. KANSAS, THE VOTE WAS SOMEWHAT LIBERAL. BUT EACH INDIVIDUAL STATE IS VOTING. IS THE VOTE OF THE PEOPLE NOW. IT'S NOT TIED UP IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. I DID A GREAT SERVICE IN DOING IT. AND THE SUPREME COURT HAD GREAT COVERAGE IN DOING IT. >> THERE IS NO STATE IN THIS COUNTRY WHERE IT IS LEGAL TO KILL A BABY AFTER IT'S BORN. NOW, HARRIS, I WANT TO GET YOUR RESPONSE FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP. >> LIKE I SAID, YOU WILL HEAR A LOT OF LIES TO GET THAT'S ABSOLUTELY A LIE. DONALD TRUMP HAND SELECTED THREE MEMBERS OF THE SUPREME COURT WITH THE INTENTION THAT THEY WOULD UNDO THE PROTECTIONS OF ROE V. WADE. THEY DID EXACTLY AS HE INTENDED. IN OVER 20 STATES, THERE ARE TRUMP ABORTION BANS, WHICH MAKE IT CRIMINAL FOR A DOCTOR, OR NURSE TO PROVIDE HEALTHCARE. IN ONE STATE, IT PROVIDES PRISON FOR LIFE. TRUMP ABORTION BANS THAT MAKE NO EXCEPTION FOR RAPE OR INCEST. UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS. A SURVIVOR DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE A DECISION ABOUT THIS. ONE DOES NOT HAVE TO ABANDON THEIR FAITH, ARE DEEPLY HELD BELIEFS TO AGREE. THE GOVERNMENT AND DONALD TRUMP CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT BE TELLING A WOMAN WHAT TO DO WITH HER BODY. I HAVE TALKED WITH WOMEN AROUND OUR COUNTRY. YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE WANTED? PREGNANT WOMEN WHO WANTED TO CARRY TO TERM, BEING DENIED CARE IN AN EMERGENCY ROOM BECAUSE HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS ARE AFRAID THEY MIGHT GO TO JAIL, AND SHE'S BLEEDING OUT IN THE PARKING LOT? SHE DIDN'T WANT THAT. HER HUSBAND DIDN'T WANT THAT. A 12 OR 13-YEAR-OLD SURVIVOR OF INCEST BEING FORCED TO CARRY A PREGNANCY TO TERM? THEY DON'T WANT THAT. AND I PLEDGE TO YOU, WHEN CONGRESS PASSES A BILL TO PUT BACK IN PLACE THE PROTECTIONS OF ROE V. WADE AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, I WILL PROUDLY SIGN IT INTO LAW. BUT UNDERSTAND, IT DONALD TRUMP WERE TO BE RE-ELECTED, HE WILL SIGN A NATIONAL ABORTION BAN. UNDERSTAND IN HIS PROJECT 2025, THERE WOULD BE A MONITOR THAT WOULD BE MONITORING YOUR PREGNANT IS, YOUR MISCARRIAGES. I THINK AMERICAN PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT CERTAIN FREEDOMS, IN PARTICULAR, THE ONES TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT ONE'S OWN BODY, IT SHOULD NOT BE MADE BY THE GOVERNMENT. >> THANK YOU, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS. >> AND THERE SHE GOES AGAIN, A LIE. I'M NOT SIGNING A BAN. WE GOT WHAT EVERYONE WANTED. EVERY LEGAL SCHOLAR WANTED IT TO BE BROUGHT BACK INTO THE STATES. AND THE STATES ARE VOTING. IT MAY TAKE A LITTLE TIME, BUT FOR 52 YEARS, THIS ISSUE HAS TORN OUR COUNTRY APART. AND THEY WANTED IT BACK IN THE STATES. I DID SOMETHING NOBODY THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE. THE STATES ARE NOW VOTING. WHAT SHE SAYS IS AN ABSOLUTE LIE. AS PART OF THE ABORTION BAN, NO, I'M NOT A FAN OF IT. THIS HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY THE STATES. >> WOULD YOU VETO THE PLAN? >> I WILL HAVE TO. -- WON'T HAVE TO. ESPECIALLY NOW WITH ESSENTIALLY 50/50 IN BOTH THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE. SHE WOULD NOT GET THE VOTE. SHE WANTED TO COME CLOSE TO IT. YOU KNOW WHAT IT REMINDS ME OF, WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD GET STUDENT LOANS TERMINATED, AND ENDED UP BEING A TOTAL CATASTROPHE. AND THEN I THINK PROBABLY HER BOSS, IF YOU CALL THEM A BOSS. HE SPENDS ALL OF HIS TIME AT THE SPEECH. HER BOSS WENT OUT AND SAID, WE WOULD DO IT AGAIN. WE WOULD DO IT A DIFFERENT WAY. HE WENT OUT AND GOT REJECTED AGAIN BY THE SUPREME COURT. SO ALL OF THE STUDENTS GOT TAUNTED WITH THIS WHOLE THING ABOUT THIS WHOLE IDEA. AND HOW UNFAIR THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN? PART OF THE REASON THEY WOULD HAVE LOST TO THE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT HAD TO PAY OFF THEIR STUDENT LOANS. BUT THEY WERE SAYING IS THE SAME WAY THAT THEY TALKED ABOUT THAT THAT THEY TALK ABOUT ABORTION. >> BUT IF I COULD JUST GET A YES OR NO. YOUR RUNNING MATE JD VANCE HAS SAID THAT YOU WOULD VETO. >> I DIDN'T DISCUSS IT WITH JD IN ALL FAIRNESS. I DON'T MIND IF HE HAS A CERTAIN VIEW. WE DON'T HAVE TO DISCUSS IT, BECAUSE SHE'D NEVER BE ABLE TO GET IT, JUST LIKE SHE COULDN'T GET STUDENT LOANS. THEY DIDN'T EVEN COME CLOSE. THEY TAUNTED YOUNG PEOPLE AND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAD LOANS. THEY COULD NEVER GET THIS APPROVED. SO IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SHE SAYS ABOUT GOING TO CONGRESS. WONDERFUL, LET'S DO IT. BUT THE FACT IS, FOR YEARS, THEY WANTED TO GET IT OUT OF CONGRESS. WE DID SOMETHING EVERYONE SAID THEY WANTED TO GET DONE. >> I WANT TO GIVE YOU TIME TO RESPOND. I DO WANT TO ASK, WOULD YOU SUPPORT RESTRICTIONS? >> I ACTUALLY SUPPORT REINSTATING THE PROTECTIONS. AND AS YOU RIGHTFULLY MENTIONED, NOWHERE IN AMERICA IS A WOMAN CARRYING A PREGNANCY TO TERM AND ASKING FOR AN ABORTION. THAT'S NOT HAPPENING. IT'S INSULTING TO THE WOMEN OF AMERICA. UNDERSTAND WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING UNDER DONALD TRUMP'S ABORTION BANS. COUPLES WHO PRAY AND DREAM OF HAVING A FAMILY ARE BEING DENIED IVF TREATMENT. WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR COUNTRY? WORKING PEOPLE, WORKING WOMEN WHO ARE WORKING 1-2 JOBS, WHO CAN BARELY AFFORD CHILDCARE AS IT IS. THEY HAVE TO TRAVEL TO ANOTHER STATE TO GET ON A PLANE, SITTING NEXT TO STRANGERS, TO GO AND GET THE HEALTHCARE SHE NEEDS. THEY BARELY CAN AFFORD TO DO IT. AND WHAT YOU ARE PUTTING HER THROUGH IS UNCONSCIONABLE. THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA, THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS BELIEVE IN A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT HER OWN BODY. AND THAT IS WHY IN EVERY STATE WHERE THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ON THE BALLOT IN RED AND BLUE STATES BOTH, THE PEOPLE IN AMERICA HAVE VOTED FOR FREEDOM. >> EXCUSE ME, I HAVE TO RESPOND. ANOTHER LIE. I HAVE BEEN A LEADER ON THIS, IVF, WHICH IS FERTILIZATION. I HAVE BEEN A LEADER. IN FACT, WHEN THEY GOT A VERY NEGATIVE DECISION, I SAW THE PEOPLE OF ALABAMA AND THE LEGISLATURE TWO DAYS LATER, VOTING GET IN. I'VE BEEN A LEADER ON IT. THEY KNOW THAT. EVERYONE ELSE KNOWS THAT. I HAVE BEEN A LEADER ON FERTILIZATION, IVF. THE OTHER THING, YOU SHOULD ASK, WILL SHE ALLOW ABORTION IN THE EIGHTH MONTH, NINTH MONTH? SEVENTH MONTH? WOULD YOU DO THAT? >> WHY DON'T YOU ANSWER THE QUESTION, WOULD YOU VETO? >> YOU COULD DO ABORTIONS IN THE SEVENTH MONTH, THE EIGHTH MONTH, THE NINTH MONTH, AND PROBABLY AFTER BIRTH. JUST LOOK AT THE FORMER GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA. THE GOVERNOR SAID, WE PUT THE BABY ASIDE, AND THEN WE DETERMINE WHAT TO DO WITH THE BABY. >> PRESIDENT TRUMP, THANK YOU. >> WE KNOW IT IS AN ISSUE IMPORTANT TO VOTERS ACROSS THE BOARD IN THIS COUNTRY. VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, YOU WERE TASKED WITH GETTING TO THE ROOT CAUSES. WE KNOW THAT ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS REACHED A RECORD HIGH. THIS PAST JUNE, PRESIDENT BIDEN POSED TOUGH NEW RESTRICTIONS. WE KNOW THE NUMBERS SINCE THEN HAVE DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY. WHY DID THE ADMINISTRATION WAIT FOR 6 MONTHS TO AT? AND WOULD YOU DO ANYTHING DIFFERENTLY? >> SO I'M THE ONLY PERSON ON THIS STAGE WHO HAS PROSECUTED NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS FOR THE TRAFFICKING OF DRUGS AND HUMAN BEINGS. AND LET ME SAY, THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS, INCLUDING SOME OF THE MOST CONSERVATIVE MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES SENATE CAME UP WITH A BORDER SECURITY BILL, WHICH I SUPPORTED. THAT BILL WOULD HAVE PUT 1500 MORE BORDER AGENTS ON THE BORDER TO HELP THOSE FOLKS WHO ARE WORKING THERE RIGHT NOW, TRYING TO DO THEIR JOB. IT WOULD HAVE ALLOWED US TO STEM THE FLOW OF FENTANYL COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES. I KNOW THERE ARE SO MANY FAMILIES WATCHING TONIGHT WHO HAVE BEEN PERSONALLY AFFECTED BY THE SURGE OF FENTANYL IN OUR COUNTRY. THAT BILL WOULD HAVE PUT MORE RESOURCES TO ALLOW US TO PROSECUTE THEM FOR TRAFFICKING. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED? DONALD TRUMP GOT ON THE PHONE, CALLED UP SOME FOLKS IN CONGRESS AND SAID KILL THE BILL. YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE HE'D PREFER TO RUN ON A PROBLEM INSTEAD OF ASKING A PROBLEM. AND UNDERSTAND, THIS COMES AT A TIME WHERE THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY ACTUALLY NEED A LEADER WHO ENGAGES IN SOLUTIONS, WHO ACTUALLY ADDRESSES THE PROBLEMS AT HAND. BUT WHAT WE HAVE IN THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS SOMEONE WHO WOULD PREFER TO RUN ON A PROBLEM INSTEAD OF FIXING IT. AND I WILL TELL YOU SOMETHING, HE WILL TALK ABOUT IT EVEN WHEN IT IS NOT THE SUBJECT BEING RAISED. I WILL ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING VERY UNUSUAL. I WILL INVITE YOU TO ATTEND ONE OF DONALD TRUMP'S RALLIES. IT'S VERY INTERESTING. YOU WILL SEE HE TALKS ABOUT FICTIONAL CHARACTERS LIKE HANNIBAL LECTOR. HE WILL TALK ABOUT WINDMILLS CAUSE CANCER. WHAT YOU WILL ALSO NOTICE, PEOPLE START LEAVING HIS RALLIES EARLY OUT OF EXHAUSTION AND BOREDOM. THE ONE THING YOU WILL NOT HEAR HIM TALK ABOUT IS YOU. HE WOULD NOT TALK ABOUT YOUR NEEDS, YOUR DREAMS, AND YOUR DESIRES. I WILL TELL YOU, BELIEVING IN A PRESIDENT WHO ACTUALLY SERVES YOU WORSE. >> PRESIDENT TRUMP, ON THAT POINT, I WANT TO GET TO YOUR RESPONSE. WHY DID YOU KILL THAT BILL? AND SELECTS BILLY -- SUCCESSFULLY SELL. >> SHE SAID PEOPLE START LEAVING, THEY DON'T GO TO HER RALLIES. THERE IS NO REASON TO GO. SHE'S BRINGING THEM IN, PAYING THEM TO BE THERE, AND THEN SHOWING THEM IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT. SHE CAN'T TALK ABOUT THAT. PEOPLE DON'T LEAVE MY RALLIES. WE'VE HAD THE MOST INCREDIBLE RALLIES IN THE HIS THREE OF POLITICS. PEOPLE WANT TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK. WE ARE FAILING NATION. IT HAPPENS 3 1/2 YEARS AGO. WHAT'S GOING ON HERE, YOU WILL END UP IN WAR WILL TREE -- WORLD WAR III. WHAT THEY HAVE DONE, ALLOWING THESE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO COME INTO OUR COUNTRY, LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE TOWNS ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES. IT WILL NOT BE AURORA OR SPRINGFIELD, A LOT DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT, BECAUSE THEY ARE SO EMBARRASSED BY IT. IN SPRINGFIELD, THEY ARE EATING THE DOGS, THE PEOPLE THAT CAME IN. THEY ARE EATING THE DOGS, CATS, THE PEOPLE ARE EATING THE PETS OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE. THIS IS WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR COUNTRY, AND IT'S A SHAME. AS FAR AS RALLIES ARE CONCERNED, THEY LIKE WHAT I SAY. THEY WANT TO BRING OUR COUNTRY BACK. IT'S A VERY SIMPLE PHRASE. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. SHE'S DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY. IF SHE BECOMES PRESIDENT, THIS COUNTRY DOESN'T HAVE A CHANCE OF SUCCESS. IT WILL END UP BEING VENEZUELA ON STAIR WORDS -- STEROIDS. >> NBC NEWS DID REACH OUT TO THE CITY MANAGER. HE TOLD US THERE HAVE BEEN NO CREDIBLE REPORTS OF PETS BEING HARMED, INJURED, OR ABUSED BY INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE EMIGRANT COMMUNITY. >> THE PEOPLE ON TELEVISION SAID, MY DOG WAS TAKEN AND USED FOR FOOD. MAYBE HE SAID THAT, AND MAYBE THAT'S A GOOD THING TO SAY FOR CITY MANAGER. BUT THE PEOPLE SAID THAT THE DOG WAS EATEN BY THE PEOPLE THAT WENT THERE. AGAIN, THE CITY MANAGER SAYS THERE IS NO EVIDENCE. >> WE WILL FIND OUT. VICE PRESIDENT, I WILL LET YOU RESPOND TO WHAT YOU HEARD. >> [ LAUGHTER ] TALK ABOUT EXTREME. I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY AND THIS ELECTION, I ACTUALLY HAVE THE ENDORSEMENT OF 200 REPUBLICANS WHO HAVE FORMED -- >> HIS FORMER CHIEF OF STAFF, A FOUR STAR GENERAL, WHO SAYS HE HAS CONTEMPT FOR THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. AS FOR MY NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR SAYS HE IS DANGEROUS AND UNFIT. HIS FORMER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE HAS SAID THAT THEY WOULD NEVER SURVIVE ANOTHER TRUMP TURN. AND WHEN WE LISTEN TO THIS KIND OF RHETORIC, THE ISSUES THAT AFFECT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, WHEN THEY ARE NOT BEING ADDRESSED. I THINK THE CHOICE IS CLEAR IN THIS ELECTION. >> PRESIDENT TRUMP, I WILL GIVE YOU A QUICK MINUTE TO RESPOND. >> THANK YOU. SEE, I'M A DIFFERENT KIND OF A PERSON. I FIRED MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE. I FIRED THEM. THEY NEVER FIRED ONE PERSON. THEY DIDN'T FIRE ANYBODY HAVING TO DO WITH AFGHANISTAN, THE TALIBAN, THE 13 PEOPLE WHO WERE JUST KILLED VICIOUSLY AND VIOLENTLY KILLED. I GOT TO KNOW THE PARENTS, THE FAMILY. THEY SHOULD HAVE FIRED ALL THOSE GENERALS, ALL THOSE TOP PEOPLE. THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST INCOMPETENTLY HANDLED SITUATIONS ANYBODY HAS EVER SEEN. WHEN SOMEBODY DOES A BAD JOB, I FIRED HIM. HE TOOK A GUY LIKE HIM, HE WAS NO GOOD, I FIRED HIM. HE WRITES A BOOK. THEY HAVE DONE SUCH A POOR JOB. AND THEY NEVER FIRE ANYBODY. LOOK AT THE ECONOMY. LOOK AT THE INFLATION. THE HAD THE SAME PEOPLE. THAT'S A GOOD WAY NOT TO HAVE BOOKS WRITTEN ABOUT YOU, BUT JUST TO FINISH, I GOT MORE VOTES THAN ANY REPUBLICAN IN HISTORY BY FAR. IN FACT, I GOT MORE VOTES THAN ANY SITTING PRESIDENT IN HISTORY, BY FAR. >> LET ME CONTINUE ON IMMIGRATION. LET'S GET BACK TO YOUR PROPOSAL THAT THE VICE PRESIDENT HAS REACTED TO, AS WELL. PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU CALL THIS THE LARGEST DEPORTATION EFFORT IN THIS COUNTRY, YOU SAY WOULD USE THE NATIONAL GUARD. YOU ALSO SAID YOU WOULD LOSE -- USE LOCAL POLICE. HOW WOULD YOU SUPPORT 11 MILLION UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS? TAKE US THROUGH THIS. WITH A GO DOOR TO DOOR IN THIS COUNTRY? >> IT IS MUCH HIGHER BECAUSE OF THEM. THEY ALLOWED CRIMINALS, MILLIONS OF CRIMINALS! THEY ALLOWED TARIFFS, COMMON STREET CRIMINALS. THEY ALLOWED PEOPLE TO COME IN. AND NOW IN THE UNITED STATES. AND TOLD BY THEIR COUNTRIES LIKE VENEZUELA, DON'T EVER COME BACK, WE ARE GOING TO KILL YOU. DO YOU KNOW CRIME IN VENEZUELA, COUNTRIES ALL OVER THE WORLD, IT'S WAY DOWN. DO YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE THEY ARE TAKING CRIMINALS OFF THE STREET AND GIVING IT TO HER. THIS WILL BE ONE OF THE GREATEST MISTAKES IN HISTORY. I THINK THEY PROBABLY DID IT BECAUSE -- BUT IT'S NOT WORTH IT. THEY ARE DESTROYING THE FABRIC OF OUR COUNTRY BY WHAT THEY'VE DONE. IT'S NEVER BEEN ANYTHING DONE LIKE THIS AT ALL. THEY DESTROYED THE FABRIC OF OUR COUNTRY. MILLIONS OF PEOPLE LET IN. AND ALL OVER THE WORLD, CRIME IS DOWN. ALL OVER THE WORLD EXCEPT HERE. CRIME IS UP THROUGH THE ROOF. CRIME IN THIS COUNTRY IS THROUGH THE ROOF. AND WE HAVE A NEW FORM OF CRIME CALLED MIGRANT CRIME. IT'S HAPPENING AT LEVELS NOBODY THOUGHT POSSIBLE. >> TRUMP, AS YOU KNOW THE FBI SAYS OVERALL, CRIME IS GOING DOWN. >> THEY WERE DEFRAUDING STATEMENTS. THEY DIDN'T INCLUDE THE WORST CITIES, THEY DIDN'T INCLUDE THE CITIES WITH THE WORST CRIME. JUST LIKE THERE ARE A NUMBER OF 818,000 JOBS THEY SAID THEY CREATED, TURNING OUT TO BE FRAUD. >> I THINK THIS IS SO RICH COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN PROSECUTED FOR NATIONAL SECURITY CRIMES, ECONOMIC CRIMES, ELECTION INTERFERENCE, HAS BEEN FOUND LIABLE FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT, AND HIS NEXT BIG COURT APPEARANCE IS IN NOVEMBER AT HIS OWN CRIMINAL SENTENCING. LET'S BE CLEAR, WHERE EACH PERSON STANDS ON THE ISSUE OF WHAT IS IMPORTANT ABOUT RESPECT FOR THE RULE OF LAW, AND RESPECT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT. THE FORMER VICE PRESIDENT CALLED FOR THE DEFUNDING OF FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. 45,000 AGENTS. GET THIS, ON THE DAY AFTER HE WAS ARRAIGNED ON 34 FELONY COUNTS. LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT IS IMPORTANT IN THIS RACE. IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE MOVE FORWARD. THAT WE TURNED THE PAGE ON THE SAME OLD TIRED RHETORIC AND ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. ADDRESS WHAT WE NEED TO DO ABOUT THE HOUSING SHORTAGE, WHICH I HAVE A PLAN FOR. ADDRESS WHAT WE MUST DO TO SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES, ADDRESS BRINGING DOWN THE PRICES OF GROCERIES. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE EXHAUSTED WITH THE SAME OLD TIRED PLAYBOOK. >> VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, THANK YOU. >> EVERY ONE OF THOSE CASES WAS STARTED BY THEM AGAINST THEIR POLITICAL OPPONENT. I'M WINNING MOST OF THEM. YOU SAW THAT WITH THE DECISION THAT CAME DOWN JUST RECENTLY FROM THE SUPREME COURT. I'M WINNING MOST OF THEM. BUT THOSE ARE CASES THAT'S CALLED WEAPONIZATION. IT'S NEVER HAPPENED IN THIS COUNTRY. THEY WEAPONIZED THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT. EVERY ONE OF THOSE CASES WAS INVOLVED. TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NEW YORK, THE D.A. OF NEW YORK. EVERY ONE OF THOSE CASES. AND THEN THEY SAY, OH, HE'S A CRIMINAL. THERE ARE THE ONES THAT MADE THEM DO THAT. BY THE WAY, JOE BIDEN WAS FOUND ESSENTIALLY GUILTY. AND WHAT HAPPENED IN MY CASE? A COMPLETE AND TOTAL VICTORY. TWO MONTHS AGO, IT WAS THROWN OUT. IT'S WEAPONIZATION. IT'S NEVER HAPPENED IN THIS COUNTRY. THEY USED IT TO TRY AND WIN AN ELECTION. >> PRESIDENT TRUMP, THANK YOU. YOU REALLY RESPONSE, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS. >> WELL, LET'S TALK ABOUT EXTREME. AND UNDERSTAND THE CONTACT -- CONTEXT. THE SUPREME COURT RECENTLY RULED THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT WOULD ESSENTIALLY BE IMMUNE FROM ANY MISCONDUCT IF HE WERE TO ENTER THE WHITE HOUSE AGAIN. UNDERSTAND, THIS IS SOMEONE WHO HAS OPENLY SAID HE WOULD TERMINATE -- ARM HOLDING, TERMINATE THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, THAT HE WOULD WEAPONIZED THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AGAINST HIS POLITICAL ENEMIES. SOMEONE WHO HAS OPENLY EXPRESSED DISDAIN FOR MEMBERS OF OUR MILITARY. UNDERSTAND WHAT IT WOULD MEAN IF DONALD TRUMP WERE BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE WITH NO GUARD RAILS. BECAUSE CERTAINLY, NOW THE COURT WON'T STOP HIM, JD VANCE IS NOT GOING TO STOP HIM. IT'S UP TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. >> VICE PRESIDENT, THANK YOU. >> THIS IS THE ONE THAT WEAPONIZED, NOT ME. I PROBABLY TOOK A BULLET TO THE HEAD BECAUSE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY SAY ABOUT ME. THEY TALK ABOUT DEMOCRACY, I'M A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. THEY ARE THE THREAT TO DEMOCRACY WITH THE FAKE RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA INVESTIGATION. >> WE HAVE A LOT TO GET TO. LINSEY? >> IN YOUR LAST RUN FOR PRESIDENT, YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO BAN FRACKING. YOU SUPPORTED DECRIMINALIZING BORDER CROSSINGS. NOW YOU ARE TAKING A HARDER LINE. I KNOW YOU SAY YOUR VALUES HAVE NOT CHANGED. BUT WHY HAVE SO MANY OF YOUR POLICY POSITIONS CHANGED? >> MY VALUES HAVE NOT CHANGED. I WILL DISCUSS EVERY ONE OF THEM. AT LEAST EVERY POINT THAT YOU MADE. I MADE THAT VERY CLEAR IN 2020, I WILL NOT BAN FRACKING. I HAVE NOT BANNED FRACKING. I WAS THE TIE-BREAKING VOTE ON THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT, WHICH OPENED NEW LEASES. MY POSITION, WE HAVE GOT TO INVEST IN DIVERSE SOURCES OF ENERGY SO WE REDUCE OUR LINES ON FOREIGN OIL. WE HAVE THE LARGEST INCREASE IN DOMESTIC OIL PRODUCTION IN HISTORY BECAUSE OF AN APPROACH THAT RECOGNIZES THAT WE CANNOT OVER RELY ON FOREIGN OIL. AS IT RELATES TO MY VALUES, LET ME TELL YOU. I GREW UP A MIDDLE-CLASS KID RAISED BY A HARD-WORKING MOTHER WHO WORKED, SAVES, AND WAS ABLE TO BUY OUR FIRST HOME WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER. THE VALUES I BRING TO THE IMPORTANCE OF HOMEOWNERSHIP, KNOWING THAT EVERYONE GOT HANDED $400 MILLION ON A SILVER PLATTER AND FILED BANKRUPTCY SIX TIMES IS A VALUE I BRING TO MY WORK. WE WILL WORK WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR IN HOMEBUILDERS TO INCREASE BY 3 MILLION HOMES BY THE END OF MY FIRST TERM. MY WORK THAT IS RELATED TO HAVING A FRIEND WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL WHO WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED BY HER STEPFATHER. MY FOCUS THEN, PROTECTING WOMEN AND CHILDREN FROM VIOLENT CRIME IS BASED ON A VALUE THAT IS DEEPLY GROUNDED IN THE IMPORTANCE OF STANDING UP FOR THOSE THAT ARE MOST VULNERABLE. ABOUT PROTECTING SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE. BASED ON LONG-STANDING WORK I HAVE DONE. MY VALUES HAVE NOT CHANGED. AND WHAT IS IMPORTANT, THERE IS A PRESIDENT WHO ACTUALLY BRINGS VALUES AND PERSPECTIVES THAT IS ABOUT LIFTING PEOPLE UP, AND NOT BEATING PEOPLE DOWN. AND NAME-CALLING. THE TRUE MEASURE OF A LEADER, A LEADER WHO ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS THAT STRENGTH IS NOT IN BEATING PEOPLE DOWN. IT'S LIFTING PEOPLE UP. I INTEND TO BE THAT PRESIDENT. >> FIRST OF ALL, I WASN'T GIVEN $400 MILLION. I WISH I WAS. I HAD A GREAT FATHER AND I LEARNED A LOT FROM HIM. I WAS GIVEN A TINY FRACTION OF THAT, AND BUILT IT INTO MANY, MANY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. WHEN PEOPLE SEE IT, THEY ARE EVEN SURPRISED. WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THAT. FRACKING, SHE'S BEEN AGAINST IT FOR 12 YEARS. DEFENDING THE PULLEYS, SHE'S BEEN AGAINST IT FOREVER. VERY WRONGLY, VERY HORRIBLY. EVERYONE'S LAUGHING AT IT. THEY ARE ALL LAUGHING UP AT IT. SHE WAS BIG ON DEFUNDING THE POLICE. IN MINNESOTA -- WAIT A MINUTE, I'M TALKING NOW, IF YOU DON'T MIND. PLEASE. DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR? SHE WENT OUT IN MINNESOTA AND WANTED TO LET CRIMINALS THAT KILLED PEOPLE, THAT BURNED DOWN MINNEAPOLIS, SHE WENT OUT AND RAISED MONEY TO GET THEM OUT OF JAIL. SHE DID THINGS NOBODY WOULD EVER THINK OF. TRANSGENDER -- AND ILLEGAL ALIENS THAT ARE IN PRISON. SHE WOULD NEVER ALLOW FRACKING IN PENNSYLVANIA. IF SHE WON, FRACKING IN PENNSYLVANIA WILL END ON DAY ONE. JUST TO FINISH ONE THING THAT IS SO IMPORTANT IN MY OPINION. I GOT THE BUSINESS GOING LIKE ANYONE EVER BEFORE. THE PRICES WERE GOING UP. THEY IMMEDIATELY LET THESE GUYS GO TO WHERE THEY WERE. I WOULD HAVE EEN FIVE TIMES, FOUR TIMES HIGHER. TALK ABOUT THREE AND HALF YEARS AGO. THEY GOT UP TO WHERE I WAS, BECAUSE THEY HAD NO CHOICE. THEY WERE QUADRUPLING AND DOUBLING. YOU SAW WHAT HAPPENED. THEY SAID, LET'S GO BACK TO TRUMP. THE DAY AFTER THAT ELECTION, THEY WOULD GO BACK TO DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY. OIL WILL BE DEAD, FOSSIL FUELS WILL BE DEAD. WE WILL GO BACK TO WINDMILLS AND SOLAR WORD THEY NEED A WHOLE DESERT TO GET SOME ENERGY. BY THE WAY, I'M A BIG FAN OF SOLAR. BUT THEY TAKE 400, 500 ACRES OF DESERT SOIL. >> THANK YOU. >> WE HAVE AN ELECTION IN JUST 56 DAYS. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER. OF COURSE, WE ALL KNOW IT'S THE CORNER STORE -- CORNERSTONE OF OUR DEMOCRACY. YOU TOLD SUPPORTERS TO MUCH FOR THE CAPITOL AND YOU SAID YOU WOULD BE RIGHT THERE WITH THEM. THE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD FOUND OUT. YOU WATCHED IT UNFOLD, AND YOU DID SEND OUT TWEETS, BUT IT WAS MORE THAN TWO HOURS BEFORE YOU SENT OUT THEIR VIDEO MESSAGE, TELLING SUPPORTERS TO GO HOME. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU REGRET ABOUT WHAT YOU DID? >> YOU JUST SAID A SAYING THAT ISN'T COVERED. PEACEFULLY AND PATRIOTICALLY. PEACEFULLY AND PATRIOTICALLY. NOBODY ON THE OTHER SIDE WAS KILLED. SHOT BY AN OUT-OF-CONTROL POLICE OFFICER THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER, EVER SHOT HER. WE DIDN'T DO THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN TREATED SO BADLY. I ASKED, WHAT ABOUT ALL THE PEOPLE POURING INTO OUR COUNTRY AND KILLING PEOPLE? SHE WAS THE BORDER CZAR, REMEMBER THAT. SHE SAID AT THE BEGINNING, I'M SURPRISED YOU ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE BORDER. BECAUSE SHE'S KNOWN WHAT A BAD JOB THEY'VE DONE. WHEN WILL THEY BE PROSECUTED? WILL THESE PEOPLE FROM COUNTRIES ALL OVER THE WORLD, NOT TO SOUTH AMERICA. THEY COME IN FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, DAVID. ALL OVER THE WORLD! AND CRIME RATES ARE DOWN ALL OVER THE WORLD BECAUSE OF IT. WAIT A MINUTE. WHEN WILL THOSE PEOPLE BE PROSECUTED? WHEN WILL THE PEOPLE THAT BURNED DOWN MINNEAPOLIS BE PROSECUTED? OR IN SEATTLE? THEY TAKE OVER A BIG PERCENTAGE OF THE CITY OF SEATTLE. WHEN WILL THEY BE EXECUTED? YOU MIGHT ASK HER THAT QUESTION. >> YOU ARE WATCHING IT UNFOLD ON TELEVISION. IT'S A VERY SIMPLE QUESTION AS WE MOVE FORWARD. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU REGRET ABOUT WHAT YOU DID ON THAT DAY? >> I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT. I SHOWED UP FOR SPEECH. I WENT TO NANCY PELOSI AND THE MAYOR OF WASHINGTON, D.C. THE MAYOR PUT IT BACK IN WRITING, AS YOU KNOW. I SAID, YOU KNOW, THIS WILL BE A VERY BIG RALLY, OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. IT WASN'T DONE BY ME, IT WAS DONE BY OTHERS. I SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU 10,000 SOLDIERS. THEY REJECTED ME. IT WAS JUST TWO WEEKS AGO. HER DAUGHTER HAS A TAPE OF SAYING SHE IS FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENED. THEY WANT TO GET RID OF THAT TAPE. IT WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED IF THEY DID THEIR JOBS. I WASN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR SECURITY, NANCY PELOSI WAS RESPONSIBLE. >> THE QUESTION WAS ABOUT YOU AS PRESIDENT, NOT ABOUT NANCY PELOSI. BUT I DO WANT VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS TO RESPOND HERE. >> I WAS AT THE CAPITOL. I WAS THE VICE PRESIDENT ELECT AND AN ACTING SENATOR. I WAS THERE. ON THAT DAY, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES INCITED A VIOLENT MOB TO ATTACK OUR NATION'S CAPITOL , TO DESECRATE OUR NATIONS CAPITOL . ON THAT DAY, 140 LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WERE INJURED. AND SOME DIED. AND UNDERSTAND, THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAS BEEN INDICTED AND IMPEACHED FOR EXACTLY THAT REASON. BUT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED SITUATION. LET'S REMEMBER CHARLOTTESVILLE. WHERE THERE WAS A MOB OF PEOPLE CARRYING TIKI TORCHES, SPEWING ANTI-SOMATIC HATE. AND WHETHER THE PRESIDENT THEN AT THE TIME SAY? THEY WOULD ASSIGN PEOPLE ON EACH SIDE. LET'S REMEMBER, WHEN IT CAME TO THE PROUD BOYS, A MILITIA, THE FORMER PRESIDENT SAID STAND BACK AND STAND BY. FOR EVERYONE WATCHING WHO REMEMBER WHAT JANUARY 6th WAS, I WOULD SAY, WE DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK. LET'S NOT GO BACK. WE ARE NOT GOING BACK. IT'S TIME TO TURN THE PAGE. IF THAT WAS TOO FAR FOR YOU, THERE IS A PLACE IN OUR CAMPAIGN FOR YOU TO STAND FOR COUNTRY, TO STAND FOR OUR DEMOCRACY, TO STAND FOR RULE OF LAW, AND TO END THE CHAOS. TO END THE APPROACH THAT IS ABOUT ATTACKING THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR DEMOCRACY. BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE THE OUTCOME. AND BE CLEAR ON THAT POINT. DONALD TRUMP, THE CANDIDATE HAD SAID IN THIS ELECTION THAT THERE WOULD BE A BLOODBATH. THAT IS IF THE OUTCOME OF THIS ELECTION ISN'T TO HIS LIKING. LET'S TURN THE PAGE ON THIS. LET'S NOT GO BACK. LET'S TURN A COURSE FOR THE FUTURE AND NOT GO BACKWARDS TO THE PAST. >> LET ME JUST FOLLOW UP HERE -- >> IT WAS A DIFFERENT TERM THAT RELATED TO ENERGY. THEY HAVE DESTROYED OUR ENERGY BUSINESS. ALSO IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, THAT STORY AS YOU WOULD SAY HAS BEEN DEBUNKED. MAURA INGRAM, ALL OF THESE PEOPLE. IF THEY GO AN EXTRA SENTENCE, THEY WOULD SEE IT WAS PERFECT. IT WAS DEBUNKED IN ALMOST EVERY NEWSPAPER. THEY BRING ALL OF THIS STUFF UP. I ASK YOU THIS. YOU TALK ABOUT THE CAPITOL, WHY ARE WE ALLOWING THESE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO COME THROUGH ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER? AND I WILL TELL YOU WHAT I WOULD DO. I WOULD BE VERY PROUD TO DO IT. I WOULD SAY WE WOULD BOTH LEAVE THIS DEBATE RIGHT NOW, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HER GO DOWN TO WASHINGTON, D.C. DURING THIS DEBATE. BECAUSE WE ARE WASTING A LOT OF TIME. SHE SO BAD, IT'S RIDICULOUS. GO DOWN TO WASHINGTON, D.C. AND LET HER SIGN A BILL TO CLOSE THE BORDER. THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO IT. THEY DON'T NEED BILLS. THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO IT. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, YOU GET OUT OF BED, WAKE HIM UP AT 4:00 IN THE AFTERNOON, BRING HIM TO THE OFFICE TO SIGN THE BILL. IF HE SIGNS A BILL THAT THE BORDER IS CLOSED, ALL HE HAS TO DO, IF THEY DO THAT, THE BORDER IS CLOSED. THE PEOPLE ARE KILLING MANY PEOPLE. >> WE TALKED TO IMMIGRATION HERE, I DO WANT TO FOCUS ON THIS. TRUTH IN THESE TIMES THAT WE ARE LIVING IN. MR. PRESIDENT, FOR 3 1/2 YEARS AFTER YOU WATCH THE 2020 ELECTION, YOU REPEATEDLY FALSELY CLAIMED THAT YOU WON, MANY TIMES SAYING YOU WON IN A LANDSLIDE. LEADING UP TO THIS DEBATE, YOU HAVE SAID, QUOTE, YOU LOST BY A WHISKER, THAT YOU, QUOTE, DID IT QUITE MAKE IT. ARE YOU NOW ACKNOWLEDGING THAT YOU LOST? >> NO, I DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AT ALL. I SAID IT SARCASTIC. YOU KNOW THAT. I WAS BEING SARCASTIC. THERE IS SO MUCH PER. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT IT. THEY SHOULD HAVE SENT IT BACK TO THE LEGISLATION FOR APPROVAL. THE MOST VOTES ANY SITTING PRESIDENT HAS EVER GOT. THAT'S WHAT I GOT IN 2016. YOU CAN'T BE BEATEN. THE ELECTION CYCLE SHOULD NOT BE THINKING ABOUT AN ELECTION IS FRAUDULENT. WE NEED TWO THINGS. WE HAVE TO HAVE IT. WE HAVE TO HAVE BORDERS AND GOOD ELECTIONS. A LOT OF THESE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS COMING IN, THEY ARE TRYING TO GET THEM TO VOTE. THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT COUNTRY THEY ARE IN PRACTICALLY. THESE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GET THEM TO VOTE. THAT'S WHY THEY ARE ALLOWING THEM TO COME INTO OUR COUNTRY. >> I DIDN'T ATTACK THE SARCASM LOST. YOU KNOW THIS. YOU AND YOUR ALLIES, 60 CASES. >> I JUST LOOKED AT IT. THAT'S THE OTHER THING. THEY SAID WE DIDN'T HAVE STANDINGS. CAN YOU IMAGINE A SYSTEM WHERE PERSON IN THE ELECTION DOESN'T HAVE A STANDING? THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES DOESN'T HAVE STANDING. THAT'S HOW WE LOST. YOU DO A SPECIAL ON IT. I WILL SHOW YOU GEORGIA, WISCONSIN, AND SO MANY STATISTICS. YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT DOESN'T MATTER. THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE A NATION IN DECLINE. AND THEY HAVE PUT IT INTO DECLINE. >> VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, WE HEARD HIM SAY THAT HE DIDN'T SAY THAT. HE STILL BELIEVES HE DID NOT LOSE THE ELECTION THAT WAS WON BY PRESIDENT BIDEN AND YOURSELF. I DO WANT TO ASK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAS COME UP. THIS WAS A POST FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP ABOUT THIS UPCOMING ELECTION. HE SAID, WHEN I WIN, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CHEATED. HE SAYS THEY WILL BE PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE LONG- TERM PRISON SENTENCES. THEY RESPONDED SAYING, WE WON'T LET DONALD TRUMP INTIMIDATE US, AND WE WON'T LET THEM SUPPRESS THE VOTE. >> DONALD TRUMP WAS FIRED BY 81 MILLION PEOPLE. LET'S BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT. CLEARLY, HE'S HAVING A VERY DIFFICULT TIME PROCESSING THAT. BUT WE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WHO ATTEMPTS, AS HE DID IN THE PAST, TO UP AND THE WILL OF THE VOTERS. NOW I WILL TELL YOU, I HAVE TRAVELED THE WORLD AS VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. I HAVE TALKED WITH MILITARY LEADERS, SOME OF THEM WHO WORK WITH YOU. AND THEY SAY YOU ARE A DISGRACE. AND WHEN YOU TALK IN THIS WAY, AND DENY OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHAT ARE CORE THINGS YOU HAVE LOST, BECAUSE YOU DID IN FACT LOSE THAT ELECTION. IT LEADS ONE TO BELIEVE THAT PERHAPS WE DO NOT HAVE THE TEMPERAMENT, OR THE ABILITY TO NOT BE CONFUSED ABOUT FACT. THAT IS DEEPLY TROUBLING. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE BETTER. >> LET ME JUST SAY THIS, VICTOR, ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED MEN, HE'S A TOUGH PERSON. SMART. THEY SAID, WISE THE WHOLE WORLD BLOWING UP? THREE YEARS AGO, IT WASN'T. HE SAID, BECAUSE YOU NEED TRUMP BACK AS PRESIDENT. THEY WERE AFRAID OF HIM. CHINA WAS AFRAID. I DON'T LIKE TO USE THE WORD AFRAID. NORTH KOREA WAS AHEAD OF THEM. LOOK AT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH NORTH KOREA BY THE WAY. I ENDED THE PIPELINE, AND BIDEN PUT IT BACK ON DAY ONE. THE XL PIPELINE IN OUR COUNTRY, HE ENDED THAT. BUT HE LET THE RUSSIANS BUILD A PIPELINE GOING ALL OVER EUROPE. THE BIGGEST PIPELINE IN THE WORLD. LOOK, VIKTOR ORBAN SAID IT. HE SAID THE MOST RESPECTED MOST FEARED PERSON IS DONALD TRUMP. WE HAD NO PROBLEMS WHEN TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT. WHEN THIS WEAK PATHETIC MAN THAT YOU SAW JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO, THAT IF YOU WEREN'T AT THAT DEBATE, HE WOULD BE RUNNING INSTEAD OF HER. SHE GOT NO VOTES, HE GOT 14 MILLION VOTES. HE GOT 14 MILLION VOTES, AND THEY THREW HIM OUT OF OFFICE. I WILL GIVE YOU A LITTLE SECRET, HE HATES HER. HE CAN'T STAND HER. HE GOT 14 MILLION VOTES, THEY THREW HIM OUT. SHE GOT ZERO VOTES. SHE WAS THE FIRST ONE TO LEAVE BECAUSE SHE FAILED. AND NOW SHE'S RUNNING. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, BUT I'M OKAY WITH IT. I THINK WE WOULD DO VERY WELL. >> THE HOSTAGES WHO WERE STILL BEING HELD, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS IN DECEMBER, YOU SAID THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF, BUT YOU SAID, QUOTE, IT MATTERS HOW. THEY MUST DO MORE TO PROTECT INNOCENT CIVILIANS. YOU SAID THAT NINE MONTHS AGO. NOW AN ESTIMATED 40,000 PALESTINIANS ARE DEAD. JUST LAST WEEK, PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU SAYS THERE IS NOT ONE IN THE MAKING. HOW DID YOU DO IT? >> WELL, LET'S UNDERSTAND HOW I GOT HERE. ON OCTOBER 7th, HAMAS, A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION SLAUGHTERED 1200 ISRAELI. MANY OF THEM, YOUNG PEOPLE WHO -- WOMEN WERE HORRIBLY . SO ABSOLUTELY. AS I SAY NOW, ISRAEL HAS THE RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF. 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 END. AND THE WAY IT WILL END, WE NEED TO HOSTAGES OUT. SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK AROUND THE CLOCK ON THAT. WORK AROUND THE CLOCK. ALSO UNDERSTANDING THAT WE MUST CHART FOR A TWO STATE SOLUTION. AND IN THAT, THERE MUST BE SECURITY FOR THE ISRAELI PEOPLE, AND AN EQUAL MEASURE FOR THE PALESTINIANS. THE ONE THING I WILL ASSURE YOU ALWAYS, I WILL ALWAYS GIVE ISRAEL THE ABILITY TO DEFEND ITSELF, PARTICULARLY AS IT RELATES TO IRAN, ANY THREATS THAT IRAN AND ITS PROXIES POSED TO ISRAEL. BUT WE MUST HAVE A SOLUTION WHERE WE CAN REBUILD GAZA, WHERE THE PALESTINIANS HAVE SECURITY, SELF-DETERMINATION, AND THE DIGNITY THAT THEY SO RIGHTFULLY DESERVE. >> IN ORDER TO GET THE HOSTAGES, 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. THERE WAS NO THREAT OF IT EITHER FOR 4 YEARS, THEY HAVE NEVER GONE INTO UKRAINE AND KILLED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. IT'S FAR WORSE THAN WHAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND 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 SORORITY PARTY OF HERS. SHE WANTED TO GO TO THE SORORITY PARTY. SHE HATES ISRAEL. I BELIEVE THEY WOULD NOT EXIST WITHIN TWO YEARS FROM NOW. PREDICTIONS AND I HOPE I'M WRONG ABOUT THAT ONE. SHE HATES ISRAEL BUT 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 BECAUSE THEY TOOK OFF ALL THE SANCTIONS THAT I HAD AND IRAN HAD NO MONEY FOR HAMAS OR HEZBOLLAH OR ANY OF THE 28 DIFFERENT SPHERES OF TERROR AND THEY ARE SPHERES OF TERROR, HORRIBLE SPHERES, THEY HAD NO MONEY, IT WAS BIG STORY AND YOU KNOW IT, YOU COVERED IT VERY WELL ACTUALLY, THEY HAD NO MONEY, THEY WERE BROKE. NOW THEY ARE A RICH NATION AND NOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS THEY ARE SPREADING THAT MONEY AROUND LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN YEMEN, WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE MIDDLE EAST, THIS WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED, I WOULD GET THAT SETTLED AND FAST AND I WOULD GET THE WAR WITH UKRAINE AND RUSSIA IF I AM PRESIDENT ELECT I WILL GET IT DONE BEFOR , EVEN BECOMING PRESIDENT. >> HE SAYS YOU HATE ISRAEL. >> THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE, I HAVE MY ENTIRE CAREER IN LIFE SUPPORTED ISRAEL AND THE ISRAELI PEOPLE, HE KNOWS THAT, HE IS TRYING TO AGAIN DIVIDE AND DISTRACT FROM THE REALITY WHICH IS IT IS VERY WELL KNOWN THAT DONALD TRUMP IS WEAK AND 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 HE WANTS AND GOING TO 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 AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY WELL-KNOWN THAT THESE DICTATORS AND AUTOCRATS ARE ROOTING FOR YOU TO BE PRESIDENT AGAIN BECAUSE THEY ARE 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. >> SHE IS THE ONE THAT CAUSED IT THAT IS WEAK ON NATIONAL SECURITY BY ALLOWING EVERY NATION, LAST MONTH FOR THE YEAR, 168 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES SENDING PEOPLE INTO OUR COUNTRY THE CRIME RATES ARE WAY DOWN. PUTIN ENDORSED HER LAST WEEK I SAID I HOPE SHE WENT AND I THINK HE MEANT IT BECAUSE WHAT HE'S GOTTEN AWAY WITH IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE, IT WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED WITH ME, THE LEADERS OF OTHER COUNTRIES THINK THAT THEY ARE WEAK AND INCOMPETENT AND THEY ARE, THEY ARE 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 RUSH IS EVER MADE NORDSTROM TO THE BIGGEST PIPELINE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD GOING TO GERMANY AND ALL OVER EUROPE? BECAUSE THEY ARE WEAK AND THEY ARE INEFFECTIVE AND BIDEN BY THE WAY. PAID A LOT OF MONEY. >> WE WILL BE BACK MORE WITH THIS HISTORIC PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE FROM THE NATIONAL CONSTITUTION CENTER, RIGHT HERE IN PHILADELPHIA, BACK IN A MOMENT. >> FINAL SPRINT TO THE ELECTION DATE. NOW WE WILL GO BACK TO PHILADELPHIA. >> LIVE FROM PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, HERE AGAIN, PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. >> I WANT TO WAR, GO TO THE WAR IN UKRAINE, MR. PRESIDENT IT HAS BEEN THE POSITION OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION THAT WE MUST DEFEND UKRAINE FROM RUSSIA FROM VLADIMIR PUTIN TO DEFEND THEIR SOVEREIGNTY AND DEMOCRACY, THAT IT'S IN AMERICA'S BEST INTEREST TO DO SO ARGUING THAT IF PUTIN WINS, HE MAY BE EMBOLDENED 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 AND SO MUCH WORSE THAN THE NUMBERS THAT YOU ARE GETTING WHICH ARE FAKE NUMBERS, LOOK, WE ARE 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 ARE IN FOR $150 BILLION LESS BECAUSE BIDEN AND YOU DO NOT 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 WILL NOT PROTECT YOU ANYMORE, THAT MAY BE ONE OF THE REASONS THEY DON'T LIKE ME AS MUCH AS THEY LIKE WEAK PEOPLE, BUT, WE TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING, WE ARE IN FOR 250 TO 275 BILLION, THEY ARE UP TO 100 TO 150, THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO EQUALIZE, WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WANT TO GET THE WERE SETTLED, I KNOW ZELENSKYY AND PUTIN VERY WELL, THEY RESPECT THE PRESIDENT, THEY RESPECT ME, THEY DON'T RESPECT BIDEN, HOW WOULD YOU RESPECT HIM, FOR WHAT REASON? HE HAVE AN, HASN'T EVEN MADE A PHONE CALL TO PUTIN OR SPOKEN TO ANYBODY, THAT IS A WAR THAT IS DYING TO BE SETTLED, I WILL GET IT SETTLED BEFORE I EVEN BECOME PRESIDENT IF I WIN, WHEN I AM PRESIDENT-ELECT AND WHAT I WILL DO IS I WILL SPEAK TO ONE AND I WILL SPEAK TO THE OTHER AND GET THEM TOGETHER, THAT WAR WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED AND IN FACT WHEN I SAW PUTIN AFTER I LEFT, UNFORTUNATELY LEFT BECAUSE OUR COUNTRY, AFTER I SAW HIM BUILDING UP SOLDIERS, HE DID IT AFTER I LEFT I SAID OH, HE MUST BE NEGOTIATING ITS 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 III. DON'T KID YOURSELF DAVID, WE ARE PLAYING WITH WORLD WAR III AND WE HAVE A PRESIDENT THAT WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IF HE IS, WHERE IS OUR PRESIDENT, WE DON'T EVEN KNOW. THEY THREW HIM OUT OF A CAMPAIGN LIKE A DOG WE DON'T EVEN KNOW, IS HE OUR PRESIDENT? BUT WE HAVE A PRESIDENT THAT DOESN'T KNOW HE'S ALIVE. >> YOUR TIME IS UP JUST TO CLARIFY THE QUESTION, DO YOU BELIEVE IT'S IN THE U.S.'S BEST INTEREST FOR UKRAINE TO WIN THIS WAR? >> I THINK IT'S THE U.S. BEST INTEREST TO GET THIS FINISHED AND 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 ARE SEEING FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN? >> WELL, FIRST OF ALL IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMIND THE FORMER PRESIDENT YOU ARE NOT RUNNING AGAINST JOE BIDEN, YOU ARE RUNNING AGAINST ME. I BELIEVE EVEN THAT DONALD TRUMP SAYS THIS WAR WOULD BE OVER WITHIN 24 HOURS IS BECAUSE HE WOULD'VE GIVEN UP. AND THAT'S NOT WHO WE ARE AS AMERICANS, THAT UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED HERE. I ACTUALLY MET WITH ZELENSKYY 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 ZELENSKYY AND 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 AND THE ARTILLERY, THE JAVELINS, THE TANKS THAT WE HAVE PROVIDED, UKRAINE STANDS AS AN INDEPENDENT AND FREE COUNTRY, IF DONALD TRUMP WERE PRESIDENT, PUTIN WOULD BE SITTING IN KEY 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 ZELENSKYY AND THE UKRAINIANS DESPITE FOR THEIR INDEPENDENCE, OTHERWISE PUTIN WOULD BE SITTING IN KYIV 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. >> THANK YOU, WE HAVE HEARD FROM BOTH OF YOU ON UKRAINE TONIGHT, AFGHANISTAN CAME UP IN THE LAST HOUR. I WANT HER TO RESPOND TO SOMETHING YOU SAID EARLIER. PLEASE, I WILL GIVE YOU A MINUTE HERE. >> PUTIN WOULD BE SITTING IN MOSCOW AND WE NOT NOT HAVE LOST 100,000 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 HAS A THING THAT OTHER PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE, THEY HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS. NOBODY EVER THINGS ABOUT THAT, AND EVENTUALLY MAYBE HE WILL USE THEM AND MAYBE HE 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 THE WAR STARTED, THREE DAYS LATER, HE WENT IN AND 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 ADVERSARY, THEY SENT HER INTO NEGOTIATE WITH ZELENSKYY AND PUTIN. AND SHE DID AND THE WAR STARTED THREE DAYS LATER. AND THAT'S THE KIND OF TALENT WE HAVE WITH HER, SHE IS WORSE THAN BIDEN IN MYPINION I THINK HE IS 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 INTO NEGOTIATE, AS SOON AS SHE LEFT, PUTIN DID THE INVASION. >> YOU DID BRING UP SOMETHING YOU WENT, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS HAVE YOU EVER MET VLADIMIR PUTIN? >> YET AGAIN I SAID IT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DEBATE YOU WILL HEAR A BUNCH OF LIES FROM THIS FELLOW AND THAT IS ANOTHER ONE. WHEN I WENT TO MEET WITH PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY I HAVE MET WITH HIM OVER FIVE TIMES, THE REALITY IS, IT HAS BEEN ABOUT STANDING AS AMERICA ALWAYS SHOULD. AS A LEADER, UPHOLDING INTERNATIONAL RULES AND NORMS. AS A LEADER WHO SHOWS STRENGTH, UNDERSTANDING THAT THE ALLIANCES WE HAVE AROUND THE WORLD ARE DEPENDENT ON OUR ABILITY TO LOOK OUT FOR OUR FRIENDS AND NOT FAVOR OUR ENEMIES BECAUSE YOU ADORE STRONGMEN INSTEAD OF CARING ABOUT DEMOCRACY. AND THAT IS VERY MUCH WHAT IS AT STAKE HERE, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS COMMANDER IN 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 THAT WE STAND UP FOR OUR PRINCIPLES AND NOT SELL THEM FOR THE BENEFIT OF PERSONAL FLATTERY. >> WE TALKED ABOUT UKRAINE AND LET ME PUTIN I WANT TO TALK ABOUT AFGHANISTAN IT CAME UP IN THE FIRST HOUR OF THIS DEBATE, I WANT TO MOVE ON TO AFGHANISTAN. >> TRUMP TO THE MOST AMAZING THING I HAD EVER SEEN, HE GOT THESE COUNTRIES TO 28 COUNTRIES AT THE TIME TO PAY UP, HE SAID I HAVE NEVER SEEN HE IS THE HEAD OF NATO AND SAID I HAVE NEVER SEEN FOR YEARS WE WERE PAYING ALMOST ALL OF NATO AND BEING RIPPED OFF BY EUROPEAN NATIONS BOTH ON TRADE AND ON NATO. I GOT THEM TO PAY UP BY SAYING ONE OF THE STATEMENTS YOU SAID BEFORE IF YOU DON'T PAY, WE ARE NOT GOING TO PROTECT YOU. >> HE SAID IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE JOBS HE HAS EVER SEEN DONE. >> THANK YOU, I WANT TO TURN TO AFGHANISTAN IT CAME UP IN THE FIRST HOUR AND WE WITNESSED APPOINTED MOMENT ON CAPITOL HILL HONORING THE SOLDIERS WHO DIED IN THE CHAOTIC WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN I DO WANT TO ASK THE VICE PRESIDENT DO YOU BELIEVE YOU BEAR ANY RESPONSIBILITY IN THE WAY THAT WITHDRAWAL PLAYED OUT? >> WELL I WILL TELL YOU, I AGREE 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 MEMBER 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 AND 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 5000 TERRORISTS TO ALABAMA, TALIBAN TERRORISTS RELEASED. GET THIS, AND THE PRESIDENT AT THE TIME INVITED THE TALIBAN TO CAMP DAVID, A PLACE OF STORIED 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 COMMANDER IN CHIEF WITH A LEVEL OF RESPECT AND THIS GETS BACK TO THE POINT IS HOW HE IS 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. >> THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOUR RESPONSE TO HER. >> 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 THEY DEAL WITH THEIR OWN PEOPLE ALL THE TIME BUT I GOT INVOLVED. AND THE HEAD OF THE TALIBAN IS STILL THE HEAD OF THE TALIBAN AND I TOLD HIM, DO NOT DO IT ANYMORE, YOU DO IT ANYMORE YOU WILL HAVE GOBLINS AND HE SAID WHY DO YOU SEND ME A PICTURE OF MY HOUSE I SAID YOU HAVE TO FIGURE THAT OUT AND FOR 18 MONTHS, WE HAD NOBODY KILLED. WE DID HAVE AN AGREEMENT NEGOTIATED BY MIKE POMPEO WHO IS A VERY GOOD AGREEMENT, THE REASON IT WAS GOOD IS THE ROOT GETTING OUT AND WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT FASTER THAN THEM BUT WOULD NOT HAVE LOST THE SOLDIERS OR LEFT MANY AMERICANS BEHIND AND WE WOULD NOT HAVE LEFT $85 BILLION 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 AND THEY DIDN'T DO IT. THEY DIDN'T DO IT, THE AGREEMENT WAS TERMINATED BY US, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T DO WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO. >> I WANT TO MOVE ON. >> 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 TO RECENT POLITICS IN THIS COUNTRY, MR. PRESIDENT YOU RECENT LEE SAID A QUOTE, I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS BLACK UNTIL A MEMBER OF YEARS AGO SHE HAPPENED TO TURN BLACK AND NOW SHE WANTS TO BE KNOWN AS BLACK AREA 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. YOU MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF SOMETHING, I COULD NOT CARE LESS. WHATEVER SHE WANTS TO BE IS OKAY WITH ME. >> BUT THOSE WERE YOUR WORDS. >> I DUNNO, I READ THAT SHE WAS NOT BLACK. THAT SHE PUT OUT. AND I WILL SAY THAT AND THEN I READ THAT SHE WAS BLACK. AND THAT'S OKAY, EITHER ONE IS OKAY WITH ME, THAT'S UP TO HER. >> VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS? >> I THINK IT'S I MEAN HONESTLY I THINK IT'S A TRAGEDY THAT WE HAVE 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 AND WE DON'T WANT THIS KIND OF APPROACH THAT IS JUST CONSTANTLY TRYING TO DIVIDE US AND ESPECIALLY BY RACE. AND LET'S REMEMBER, HOW DONALD TRUMP STARTED, HE WAS A LAND, HE OWNED LAND AND BUILDINGS. AND 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 FIVE. TOOK OUT A FULL-PAGE AD, CALLING FOR THEIR EXECUTION, THIS IS THE SAME INDIVIDUAL WHO SPREAD FURTHER 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 AMERICA'S POINT THEIR FINGERS AT EACH OTHER. I MEAN I MEET WITH PEOPLE ALL THE TIME, WHO TELL ME CAN WE PLEASE JUST HAVE DISCOURSE ABOUT HOW WE ARE GOING TO INVEST IN THE AMBITIONS AND THE DREAMS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. KNOWING THAT REGARDLESS OF PEOPLE'S COLOR OR THE LANGUAGE THEIR GRANDMOTHER SPEAKS, WE 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. >> THIS IS YOUR THIRD TIME. >> THIS IS THE MOST DIVISIVE PRESIDENCY IN HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT, THEY ARE DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY AND THE COME UP WITH THINGS LIKE WHAT SHE JUST SAID. GO BACK MANY, MANY YEARS A LOT OF PEOPLE INCLUDING MAYOR BLOOMBERG AGREED WITH ME ON THE CENTRAL PARK FIVE, THEY ADMITTED AND SAID, THEY PLED GUILTY. AND I SAID WELL, IF THEY PLED GUILTY THEY BADLY HURT THE PERSON KILLED A PERSON AND THEY PLED NOT GUILTY BUT THIS IS A PERSON THAT TRIES TO STRETCH BACK YEARS, 4050 YEARS AGO I FELT LIKE ONE OF THE GREATEST ECONOMIES IN THE WORLD AND I WILL BUILD IT AGAIN. THEY ARE DESTROYING OUR ECONOMY. THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT A GOOD ECONOMY IS. THEIR OIL POLICIES, EVERY SINGLE POLICY AND REMEMBER THIS, SHE IS BIDEN, SHE IS TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM BIDEN I DON'T KNOW THE GENTLEMAN SHE SAYS, SHE IS BIDEN. THAT SHE CAN'T GET AWAY WITH THAT. >> CLEARLY, I AM NOT JOE BIDEN, AND I AM 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 THAT 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 LET'S COMPARE THE PLANS. I HAVE A PLAN. TO GET A START UP BUSINESSES, $50,000 TAX DEDUCTION. TO PURSUE THEIR AMBITION, THEIR INNOVATION AND THEIR IDEAS AND THEIR HARD WORK, I HAVE A PLAN, $6000. FOR YOUNG FAMILIES FOR THE FIRST YEAR OF YOUR CHILD'S LIFE. TO HELP YOU. IN THAT MOST CRITICAL 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 I OFFERING THE DOWN PAYMENT OF $25,000 DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE FOR FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS. 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 TURN THE PAGE. AND MOVE FORWARD. >> WE HAVE TO MOVE ON. LET'S TURN TO POLICY PLEASE. >> PLAN TO DEFUND THE POLICE, SHE HAS THE PLAN TO CONFISCATE EVERYBODY'S GUN. >> >> RESIDENT 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 OBAMA CARE AND YOU FAILED TO A COMPASS THAT YOU NOW SAY YOU WILL KEEP OBAMA CARE QUOTE UNLESS YOU CAN DO SOMETHING MUCH BETTER. LAST MONTH, YOU SAID QUOTE WE ARE 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? >> OBAMA CARE WAS LOUSY HEALTHCARE, ALWAYS WAS AND IT'S NOT VERY GOOD TODAY. AND WHAT I SAID THAT IF WE COME UP WITH SOMETHING AND WE ARE ALL WORKING ON THINGS WE CAN DO IT AND REPLACE IT BUT ENOUGH OF THIS, I INHERITED OBAMA CARE BECAUSE DEMOCRATS WOULDN'T CHANGE IT, THEY WOULDN'T VOTE FOR IT, THEY WERE UNANIMOUS AND WOULD NOT VOTE TO CHANGE IT. IF THEY WOULD'VE DONE THAT WE WOULD HAVE HAD A MUCH BETTER PLAN THAN OBAMA CARE. BUT THE DEMOCRATS CAME UP AND 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 ROCK? AND I FELT LIKE I HAD AN OBLIGATION EVEN THOUGH POLITICALLY IT WOULD'VE BEEN GOOD TO JUST LET IT ROT AND LET IT GO AWAY. I JUST DECIDED AND I TOLD MY PEOPLE THE TOP PEOPLE AND THEY ARE VERY GOOD PEOPLE I HAVE A LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE IN THE ADMINISTRATION, THAT READ ABOUT THE BAD ONES WITH THE REAL BAD ONES DOING SO TODAY, THEY HAVE REALLY BAD ONCE 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 STILL IS NEVER GOING TO BE GREAT AND IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR PEOPLE AND WHAT WE WILL DO AS WE ARE 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 HEALTHCARE THAN OBAMA CARE, AND I WOULD ABSOLUTELY DO IT. BUT UNTIL THEN, I WOULD RUN IT AS GOOD AS IT CAN BE RUN. >> YES OR NO, YOU STILL DO NOT HAVE A PLAN? >> I HAVE CONCEPTS OF A PLAN, I AM 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 HAVE TO DO THAT. AND YOU WILL BE HEARING ABOUT IT IN THE NOT-TOO-DISTANT FUTURE. >> VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS IN 2017 YOU SUPPORTED DOING AWAY WITH PRIVATE INSURANCE AND CREATE A GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE SYSTEM TWO YEARS LATER YOU PROPOSE A PLAN THAT INCLUDED A PRIVATE INSURANCE OPTION, WHAT IS YOUR PLAN TODAY? >> FIRST OF ALL I ABSOLUTELY SUPPORTED IT 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 WILL GET TO THAT LINDSAY I JUST NEED TO RESPOND TO PREVIOUS POINT THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAS MADE, I MADE VERY CLEAR MY POSITION ON FRACKING AND THE BUSINESS ABOUT TAKING EVERYONE'S GUNS AWAY, TIM WALZ AND I ARE BOTH GUNOWNERS, WE ARE NOT TAKING ANYONE'S GUNS AWAY, STOP WITH THE CONTINUOUS LINE. AS IT RELATES TO THE POTABLE CARE ACT LET'S LOOK AT THE HISTORY 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. AND 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 FLOOR 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 PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON OR PEOPLE WATCHING TONIGHT, MEMBER WHAT THAT WAS LIKE WHEN AN INSURANCE COMPANY COULD DENY? IF A CHILD HAD ASTHMA, IF SOMEONE WAS A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR, IF A GRANDPARENT HAD DIABETES. AND THANKFULLY, AS I HAVE BEEN VICE PRESIDENT AND WE OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS HAVE STRENGTHENED THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, WE HAVE ALLOWED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 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 AND HE NEVER DID, WE DID AND NOW WE HAVE CAPPED THE COST OF INSULIN TO $35 A MONTH SINCE I HAVE BEEN VICE PRESIDENT WE HAVE CAPPED THE COST OF PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION FOR SENIORS AT $2000 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 HEALTHCARE SHOULD BE A RIGHT AND NOT JUST THE 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 IS IMPORTANT. >> YOU MADE A MISTAKE NUMBER ONE, JOHN McCAIN FOUGHT OBAMA CARE FOR 10 YEARS. BUT IT WASN'T ONLY HIM, IT WAS ALL OF THE DEMOCRATS, THAT KEPT IT GOING AND YOU KNOW WHAT, WE COULD DO MUCH BETTER THAN OBAMA CARE, MUCH LESS MONEY BUT SHE WON'T IMPROVE PRIVATE INSURANCE TO PEOPLE, PRIVATE MEDICAL INSURANCE THAT IS ANOTHER THING SHE DOESN'T WANT TO DO. 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. >> WE HAVE ANOTHER ISSUE WE WOULD LIKE TO GET TO THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR A NUMBER OF AMERICANS IN PARTICULAR YOUNGER VOTERS AND THAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE, RESIDENT TRUMP WITH REGARDS TO THE ENVIRONMENT YOU SAY THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE CLEAN AIR AND CLEAN WATER, VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS YOU CALL CLIMATE CHANGE AND EXISTENTIAL THREAT. THE QUESTION TO YOU BOTH TONIGHT IS WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE AND VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS WE WILL START WITH YOU, ONE MINUTE FOR YOU EACH. >> THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAS 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 IS BEING JACKED UP, YOU ASK ANYBODY WHO HAS BEEN THE VICTIM OF WHAT THAT MEANS IN TERMS OF LOSING THEIR HOME. HAVING NOWHERE TO GO. WE 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 A VICE PRESIDENT OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS WE HAVE INVESTED $1 TRILLION IN THE 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 SAYS HE WAS GOING TO CREATE MANUFACTURING JOBS AND HE LOST MANUFACTURING JOBS. AND I'M PROUD TO HAVE THE ENDORSEMENT OF THE UNITED AUTO WORKERS WHO ALSO KNOW THAT PART OF BUILDING A CLEAN ENERGY ECONOMY INCLUDES INVESTING IN AMERICA AND MADE PRODUCTS, AMERICAN AUTOMOBILES, IT INCLUDES GROWING BUT WHAT WE CAN DO AROUND AMERICAN MANUFACTURING AND OPENING UP AUTO PLANTS NOT CLOSING THEM LIKE HAVE BEEN DONE UNDER DONALD TRUMP. >> LET ME JUST SAY THEY LOST 10,000 MANUFACTURING JOBS THIS LAST MONTH. IT'S GOING, THEY ARE ALL LEAVING, THEY ARE BUILDING BIG AUTO PLANTS IN MEXICO IN MANY CASES OWNED BY CHINA. THEY ARE BUILDING THESE MASSIVE PLANTS THEY THINK THEY WILL SELL THEIR CARS INTO THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE OF THESE THREE PEOPLE, WHAT THEY HAVE GIVEN UP THE CHINA IS UNBELIEVABLE, BUT WE ARE NOT GOING TO LET THAT WE WILL PUT TARIFFS ON THOSE CARS SO THEY CANNOT COME INTO OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE THEY WILL KILL UNITED AUTO WORKERS AND ANY AUTOWORKER WHETHER IT'S IN DETROIT OR SOUTH CAROLINA, OR ANY OTHER PLACE, WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO BUSINESS AND MANUFACTURING IN THIS COUNTRY IS HORRIBLE. WE HAVE NOTHING BECAUSE THEY REFUSE, BIDEN DOESN'T GO AFTER PEOPLE BECAUSE SUPPOSEDLY CHINA PAID HIM MILLIONS OF DOLLARS HE IS 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 IT? WHY DID HE GET 3 1/2 MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE MAYOR OF MOSCOW'S WIFE, WHY DID HE GET, WHY DID SHE PAY HIM 3 1/2 MILLION DOLLARS THIS IS A CROOKED ADMINISTRATION, AND THEY ARE SELLING OUR COUNTRY DOWN THE TUBES. >> THANK YOU. >> WE WILL BE BACK WITH CLOSING STATEMENTS FROM BOTH OF OUR CANDIDATES AND HISTORIC NIGHT FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE FROM PHILADELPHIA, BACK IN A MOMENT. WE ENTER THE FINAL SPRINT TO ELECTION DAY GOING BACK TO THE DEBATE AND CLOSING STATEMENTS. >> LIVE FROM THE NATIONAL CONSTITUTION CENTER IN PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA. HERE AGAIN. >> WELCOME BACK TO THE TIME IS COME FOR CLOSING STATEMENTS AND VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS WE BEGIN WITH YOU. >> I THINK YOU HAVE HEARD TONIGHT TWO VERY DIFFERENT VISIONS FOR OUR COUNTRY. WHEN THAT IS FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE, AND THE OTHER THAT IS FOCUSED ON THE PAST. AND AN ATTEMPT TO TAKE US BACKWARD. BUT WE ARE NOT GOING BACK. AND I DO BELIEVE THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW WE ALL HAVE SO MUCH MORE IN COMMON IN WHAT SEPARATES US AND WE CAN CHART A NEW WAY FORWARD. AND DIVISION 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 OPPORTUNITY ECONOMY, INVESTING IN SMALL BUSINESSES, IN NEW FAMILIES. IN WHAT WE CAN DO AROUND PROTECTING SENIORS. WHAT WE CAN DO THAT IS ABOUT GIVING HARD-WORKING 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 WOMEN TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT HER OWN BODY AND NOT HAVE HER GOVERNMENT TELL HER WHAT TO DO. I WILL TELL YOU I STARTED MY CAREER AS A PROSECUTOR, I WAS A DA AND AN ATTORNEY GENERAL AND UNITED STATES SENATOR AND NOW VICE PRESIDENT AND I HAVE HAD ONLY ONE CLIENT, THE PEOPLE. I WILL TELL YOU AS A PROSECUTOR, I NEVER ASKED A VICTIM OR A WITNESS ARE YOU A REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT? THE ONLY THING I EVER ASKED THEM WAS 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 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 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, THAT AND ALL THESE WONDERFUL THINGS. WHY HASN'T SHE DONE IT, SHE HAS BEEN THERE FOR 3 1/2 YEARS, THEY'VE HAD 3 1/2 YEARS TO FIX THE BORDER, THEY'VE HAD 3 1/2 YEARS TO CREATE JOBS AND ALL THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT EMMA 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 ARE NOT GOING TO PHRACK OR TAKE FOSSIL FUEL, THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY STRONG WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. GERMANY TRIED THAT, AND WITHIN ONE YEAR THEY WERE BACK TO BUILDING NORMAL ENERGY PLANTS. WE ARE NOT READY FOR IT, WE CANNOT SACRIFICE OUR COUNTRY FOR THE SAKE OF BAD VISION, BUT I JUST ASK ONE SIMPLE QUESTION, WHY DIDN'T SHE DO IT? WE ARE A FAILING NATION. WE ARE A NATION THAT IS IN SERIOUS DECLINE. WE ARE BEING LEFT OUT ALL OVER THE WORLD, ALL OVER THE WORLD THEY LAUGH, I KNOW THE LEADERS VERY WELL THEY'RE COMING TO SEE ME AND CALL ME. WE ARE LAUGHED AT ALL OVER THE WORLD AND THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED TO US AS A NATION, WE ARE NOT A LEADER. WE DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON AND WE HAVE WARS GOING ON IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND HAVE WARS GOING ON WITH RUSSIA AND UKRAINE. WE ARE GOING TO END UP IN A THIRD WORLD WAR AND IT WILL 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 ARE DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY, THE WORST PRESIDENT AND 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 AM LINDSAY DAVIS
