You know the reality is when you talk about about failure in this administration we actually do know what failure looks like in a pandemic it was two thousand and nine the swine flu arrived in the united states thankfully it was ended up name not being as lethal as the corona of ours but before the end of the year when joe biden was vice president of the united states not seven and a half million people contracted swine flu sixty million americans contract with the swine flu if the swine flu had been is lethal is the corona virus in two thousand nine when joe biden was vice president we would have lost two million american lives his own chief of staff ron klain would say last year that it was pure luck
They did quote everything possible wrong and in we learn from them we lived a strategic national stockpile empty they live the an empty and hollow plan but we think they’ll learn from it and i think you’re better than feasible see again can be present tense i’m sorry what are we have done and senator please make you sign up my undermine confidence had a vaccine senator harris let me ask you the same question that i as a vice president pence switches have you had a conversation or reached an agreement with vice president biden about safeguards are procedures when it comes to the issue of presidential disability and if not and if you win the election next month do you think you should you have two minutes uninterrupted so i’m into your first of all and the day
I got a call from from joe biden it was actually isn’t call i’m asking me to serve with him on his ticket was probably one of my most memorable days of my life on i you know i thought about my mother who came to the united states that the age of nineteen and gave birth to me at the age of twenty five kaiser hospital and up in california and on the thought that i’d be sitting here right now i’m i know would make her proud and he must be looking down on us and you know joe and i were raised and very similar way we were raised with values that are about hard work about the value on the dignity of public service and about the importance of fighting for the dignity of our people and i think joe asked me to serve with him because you know i have a career that included being elected the first woman district attorney of san francisco where i created models of innovation for for law enforcement in terms of reform of the criminal justice system i was elected on the first
A woman of color and black woman to be elected attorney general the say to california where i ran the second largest department of justice and united states second only to the united states department of justice and are i took on everything from transnational criminal organizations to the big banks that we’re taking advantage of homeowners to for profit colleges that we’re taking advantage of veterans and then of course now i serve in the united states senate is only the second black woman ever elected to the united states senate i serve on the senate intelligence committee where i’ve been in regular receipt of classified information about threats to our nation and hot spots around the world i have traveled the world i have met with our soldiers and are in war zones and i think joe has asked me to serve with him because he knows that we share
They’re a purpose which is about lifting up the american people and after the four years that we have seen of donald trump unifying our country around our common values and principles thank you senator harris you read that neither president trump nor vice president biden has released a sort of detailed health information that had become the modern norm until the twenty sixteen election and in recent days president trump’s doctors have given misleading answers or refused to answer basic questions about as hell and my question to each of you in turn is is this information voters deserve to know vice president pence would you like to go first well i should thank you remembered that low mood let me say on behalf of the president and the first lady i’ll move we’ve all been or the outpouring of prayers and concern for the president and i do believe it’s emblematic of the and the concern that have ushered forth for every american impacted by the corona bars
But the care the president received at walter reed hospital the white house doctors was exceptional and the transparency that their practiced all along the way will continue the american people have a right to know about the health and wellbeing of their president and will continue to do that but i’m just extremely grateful and was more than more than a little moved oh by the broad and bipartisan support and and center i want to thank you and joe biden for your expressions genuine concern and i also want to congratulate you as i did on that phone call the honor the historic nature of your nomination can but i never expected to be on the stage for years ago so i know the feeling but the reality is
We’ve got an election before the american people in the midst of this challenge a year and the stakes have never been higher than can ignite oysters never even as i want to give senator harris a chance to respond to the same question i ask which is due voters have a right to know more detailed health information about presidential candidates and especially about president’s especially when they’re facing some kind of challenge absolutely and that’s why joe biden has been so incredibly transparent and certainly by contrast on the president has not on both in terms of health records but also let’s look at taxes aren’t we now know because if great investigative journalism that donald trump paid seven hundred and fifty dollars in taxes when i first heard about it i literally said you mean seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars and it was like note seven hundred and fifty dollars we now know donald trump owes
And is in dead for four hundred million dollars and just so everyone is clear when when we say in that it means you owe money to somebody and it be really good to know who the president of the united states the commander in chief owes money to because the american people have a right to know what is influencing the president’s decisions and is he making those decisions on the best interest of the american people have you or self interest so susan i’m good address about transparency because it has to be across the board joe has been incredibly transparent over many many hears the one thing we all know about joe he puts it all out there he he is honest he is forthright but donald trump on the other hand has been about covering up every thanks thanks
Senator hearse i want to give you a chance to respond vice president will look i respect the fact that you’re at your spent forty seven years in public life i respect your public services will thank you the american people have president was businessman job creator who’s paid tens of millions of dollars in taxes payroll taxes property taxes he’s created tens of thousands of american jobs the president said those public reports are not accurate and in the president also released literally stacks of financial disclosures the american people can review just as the law allows with the distinction hears that joe biden forty seven years in public service compared to president donald trump who brought all our experience for years ago thank you very think about honda this economy around by cutting taxes rolling back regulation thank you shake your eyes of energy is fighting for free and fair trade and
All i know they need vice president joe biden and couple her you know that’s a good segue into our third topic which is about the economy this has been another aspect of life for americans it’s been so affected by this corona virus we have our jobs crisis brewing on friday we learned that the unemployment rate of decline and to seven point nine percent in september but the job growth it stalled and that was before the latest round of layoffs and furloughs in the airline industry at disney and elsewhere hundreds of thousands of discouraged workers have stopped looking for work nearly eleven million jobs that existed the beginning of the year haven’t been replaced those hardest hit includes latinos lax and women
Senator harris the biden harris campaign has proposed new programs to boost the economy and you would pay for that new spending by raising four trillion dollars in taxes on wealthy individuals and corporations some economists warned that could curb entrepreneurial ventures that fuel growth and create jobs would raise raising taxes for the recovery at risk and you have two minutes to answer uninterrupted thank you i’m on the issue the economy i think there can be a more fundamental difference between donald trump and joe biden joe biden believes you measure the health and the strength of america’s economy based on the health and the strength of the american worker and the american family on the other hand you have donald trump who measures the strength of the economy based on how rich people it on
Which is why he passed a tax bill benefiting the top one percent and the biggest corporations of america leading to a two trillion dollar deficit that the american people and i have to pay for on day one joe biden will repeal that tax bill he’ll get rid of it and what he’ll do with the money is invested in the american people and through a plan that is about investing in infrastructure something that donald trump said he would do i remember hearing about some infrastructure week i don’t think it ever happened the joe biden will do that he’ll invest in infrastructure it’s about upgrading our roads and bridges but also investing in clean energy and renewable energy joe
Gonna invest that money in what we need to do around innovation there was a time when our country believed in science and invested in research and development so that we were in of innovation leader on the globe joe biden will use that money to invest in education so for example for folks wanna go to a two year community college it will be free if you come from a family that makes less than one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars you’ll go to a public university for free and across the board will make sure that if you have student loan debt it’s cut by ten thousand dollars that’s how joe biden thinks about the economy which is it’s about investing in the people of our country as opposed to passing a tax bill which had the benefit of letting american corporations go offshore to do their business
Thank you you’re sandra harris vice president pence your administration has been predicting a rapid in robust recovery but the latest economic reports suggest that’s not happening should americans be braced for an economic come back that is going to take not months but a year or more you have two minutes to answer an interruption when president obama took office america gone through the slowest economic recovery since a great depression it’s when joe biden was vice president the dreaded to tax and spend and regulate and baylor way back to a growing economy
Resident trump cut taxes across the board despite what senator harris’s the average american family of four had two thousand dollars in savings and taxes and with the rise in wages that occurred most predominantly for blue collar hard working americans the average household income for a family for increased by four thousand dollars following president trump’s tax cuts but america you just heard senator hers toy on day one joe biden gonna raise your taxes it’s really remarkable the is that right after a time we’re going through a pandemic that last twenty two million jobs at the hide we’ve already added back eleven point six million jobs because we had a president who cut taxes rollback regulation unleashed american energy fought for free and fair trade and secured four trillion dollars from the congress the an artist
Stage to give direct payments to families save fifty million jobs through the paycheck protection program we literally have spared no expense to help the american people in the american worker through those joe biden and kamel hers want to raise taxes they want to bury our economy under a two trillion dollar green new deal with you are one of the a rigid cosponsors of in the united states senate they want to abolish fossil fuels and ban fracking which would cost hundreds of thousands of american jobs all across the heartland and joe biden wants to go back to the economic surrender to china that when we took office half of our international trade deficit was with china alone
Joe biden wants to repeal all of the tariffs the president trump put into effect of fight for american jobs and american workers joe biden says democracies on the ballot make no mistake about of susan the american economy the american back is on the ballot with four more years of growth think he’s an opportunity for more years of president donald trump twenty twenty one you measure as a ghost economic year in the history this country thank you very president pence senator harris why i mean that we saw enough of it in last week’s debate but i think this is supposed to based on fact and truth and the truth and the fact is joe biden has been very clear he will not raise taxes on anybody who makes less than four hundred thousand a year appeal the trump tax cut mister vice president’s speaking well i’m speaking be important this is the truth
Joe biden said twice in the debate last week that he’s going to repeal the trump tax cuts that was turks go to the gave the average working family two thousand dollars in a tax break every single that senator that is ask the valley not true that’s the only building is the only going to repeal part of the trump touchdowns if you don’t mind letting they finish we can him have a conversation okay police okay joe biden will not raise taxes on anyone who makes less than four hundred thousand dollars a year he has been very clear path that joe biden will not and fracking he has been very clear about that joe biden is the one who during the the great recession was responsible for the recovery act that brought america back and now they’re trump hands administration wants to take credit
When they ran when they rode the court coattails of joe biden success for the economy that they had at the beginning of their term of course now the economy of complete disaster but joe biden on the one hand did that on the other hand you have donald trump who has reigned over a recession that is being compared to the great depression on the one hand you have joe biden who was responsible with president barack obama for the affordable care act which brought health care to over twenty million americans and protected people with preexisting conditions and what it also
Did is it saved those families who otherwise we’re going bankrupt because of hospital bills they could not afford on the other hand if donald trump was in court right now trying to get rid of think it’s a trying to get rid of the affordable care act which means that you will lose protections if you have preexisting conditions and i just this is very and ordinances and yes and it’s and are we need to get if we need to give vice president just like that he interrupted me and i’d like to just finish please if you have a preexisting condition heart disease diabetes breast cancer they’re coming for you
