[0:19] law and order with justice where people get treated fairly mr president i'm the moderator
[0:24] of this debate and i would like you to let me ask my question and then you can answer your
[0:29] party wants to go socialist medicine party is social right now i am and they're going to
[0:35] dominate you joe you know that i am the democratic party right now the platform of the democratic
[0:40] party is what i in fact approved of first of all i guess i'm debating you not him but that's okay
[0:46] i'm not surprised the fact is that everything he's saying so far is simply a lie i'm not here
[0:50] to call out his lies everybody knows he's a liar but you i just want to make sure i i i i i want
[0:56] to make sure you ordered last in your class i i i i want to make sure president can you let him
[1:02] finish sir no he doesn't know how to do that he has you know you picked be surprised the wrong guy
[1:08] the wrong night at the wrong time listen that was really a productive segment wasn't it this is the
[1:13] same man it's all set up by easter this would be gone away by the warm weather it'd be gone miraculous
[1:20] like a miracle and by the way maybe you could inject some bleach in your arm and that would take care of
[1:24] it this is the same sarcastically that was the whole issue relating to covet he still hasn't even
[1:31] acknowledged that he knew this was happening knew how dangerous was going to be back in february and
[1:37] he didn't even tell you a lot of people died and a lot more going to die unless he gets a lot smarter
[1:44] a lot quicker mr president did you use the word smart uh so you said you went to delaware state but
[1:51] you forgot the name of your college you didn't go to delaware state you graduated either the lowest or
[1:57] almost the lowest in your class don't ever use the word smart with me don't ever use that word oh give
[2:02] me a because you know what there's nothing smart about you joe so we built the greatest economy in
[2:07] history we closed it down because of the china plague and he wants to close down the he will shut
[2:12] it down again he will destroy this country you can't fix the economy until you fix the covet crisis
[2:18] and he has no intention of doing anything about making it better for you all at home no people
[2:24] want their schools open they don't want to be shut down they don't want their state shut down they want
[2:28] their restaurants i look at new york it's so sad what's happening in new york it's almost like a
[2:32] ghost town i'm the one that brought back football by the way i brought back big ten football it was me
[2:38] and i'm very happy to do it will you tell us how much you paid in federal income taxes
[2:44] in 2016 and 2017. millions of dollars you paid millions of dollars of dollars so not seven
[2:50] millions of dollars and you'll get to see it and you'll get to see it but let me just tell you
[2:55] i don't want to pay tax because before i came here i was a private developer i was a private
[3:00] business people like every other private person unless they're stupid they go through the laws and
[3:06] that's what it is gentlemen is i hate to raise my voice but it seems to be why should i be different
[3:12] than the two of you this is a president who has used everything as a dog whistle
[3:17] to try to generate racist hatred racist division and i'll tell you what the people of this country
[3:24] want and demand law and order and you're afraid to even say it but look the vast majority of police
[3:29] officers are good decent honorable men and women they risk their lives every day to take care of us
[3:35] but there are some bad apples if he ever got to run this country and they ran it the way he would
[3:40] want to run it we would have our suburbs would be gone by the way our suburbs would be gone and you
[3:46] would see problems like he would know a suburb unless he took a wrong turn oh i know suburbs he
[3:51] would not go ahead wait a minute i was raised in the suburbs what's what really is a threat to the
[3:57] suburbs and their safety is his failure to deal with covid they're dying in the suburbs
[4:02] you know if you want to switch seats we can very quickly we can do that you have repeatedly
[4:07] criticized the the vice president for not specifically calling out antifa and other
[4:12] left-wing extremist groups but are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia
[4:19] groups and to say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of these cities
[4:26] as we saw in kenosha and as we've seen in portland are you prepared to specifically do it i would say
[4:32] i would say almost everything i see is from the left wing not from the right so what are you what
[4:37] are you what are you saying i'm willing to do anything i want to see peace then do it sir do it
[4:42] say it do you want to call them what do you want to call them give me a name give me a white supremacist
[4:47] and what would you like me to condemn white supremacist and right proud boys stand back and stand by
[4:53] but i'll tell you what i'll tell you what somebody's got to do something about antifa and the left under this
[4:59] president we become weaker sicker poor more divided and more violent when i was vice president we
[5:09] inherited a recession i was asked to fix it i did we left him a blooming economy and he caused the
[5:15] recession mr president your campaign agreed to both sides would get two minute answers uninterrupted
[5:23] well your your side agreed to it and why don't you observe what your campaign agreed to as a ground
[5:28] rule okay sir he never keeps his word no no i'm not that was a rhetorical question can you go ahead
[5:34] back 30 seconds yeah yes you may have all right go ahead he was not a loser he was a patriot and the
[5:42] people left behind there were heroes really and i resent you talking about are you talking about i'm
[5:47] talking about my son beau biden you're talking about i don't know i don't know beau i know hunter got
[5:51] thrown hunter got thrown out of the military he was thrown out dishonorably discharged that's not true
[5:57] he wasn't just cocaine use and he didn't have a job until you became vice president once you
[6:02] none of that president he made a fortune in ukraine in china in moscow that is simply various other
[6:08] places my son my son and he didn't have a job my son like a lot of people like a lot of people you
[6:15] know at home had a drug problem he's overtaken it he's he's he's fixed it he's worked on it and i'm
[6:22] proud of him do you believe that human pollution gas greenhouse gas emissions contributes to the
[6:29] global warming of i think a lot of things do but i think to an extent yes i think to an extent yes
[6:33] but i also think we have to do better management of our forests where they want to take out the cows
[6:39] too you know that's not true either right he cannot stop you from being able to determine the outcome
[6:44] of this election and in terms of whether or not when the votes are counted and they're all counted
[6:49] that will be accepted if i win that will be accepted if i lose that'll be accepted but by the
[6:54] way if in fact he says he's not sure what he's going to accept well let me tell you something it
[6:59] doesn't matter because if we get the votes it's going to be all over he's going to go he can't
[7:05] stay in power it won't happen it won't happen so vote just make sure you understand you have it in
[7:12] your control to determine what this country is going to look like the next four years is it going to
[7:17] change again four more years of these lies as far as the ballots are concerned it's a disaster
[7:24] a solicited ballot okay solicited is okay you're soliciting you're asking they send it back you send
[7:32] it back i did that if you have an unsolicited they're sending millions of ballots all over the
[7:37] country if it's a fair election what i am a hundred percent on board but if i see tens of thousands of
[7:43] ballots being manipulated i can't go along with that our military they've been voting by ballots
[7:50] first at the end of the civil war in effect in effect it's the same process it's honest no one
[7:56] has established at all that there is fraud related to mail-in ballots it's already been established
[8:03] president trump vice president biden it's been an interesting hour and a half i want to thank you both
