 
THEIR KIDS ON TRACK WITH REMOTE 
LEARNING. 
EDUCATORS ARE TAKING ON 
COUNTLESS HOURS OF ADDITIONAL 
TRAINING TO LEARN HOW TO USE 
REMOTE LEARNING TOOLS. 
SO THEY CAN STILL BE THERE FOR 
OUR STUDENTS BUT THEY'RE 
WORRIED ABOUT ALL THE KIDS WHO 
USED TO COUNT ON OUR SCHOOLS. 
ALL THOSE CHILDREN WHO NEEDED 
SO BADLY, PARTICULARLY THOSE 
CHILDREN WHO NEED MORE THAN THE 
EDUCATION THEY PROVIDE. 
THE MEALS AND SAFE PLACES TO 
SPEND THE DAY. 
YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALL CONCERNED 
ABOUT MAKING SURE COVID-19 
DOESN'T FURTHER EXACERBATE THE 
DISPARITIES. 
THE DISPARITIES THAT ALREADY 
HAVE EXISTED IN OUR EDUCATIONAL 
SYSTEM. 
FOR SO MANY POOR CHILDREN. 
AND SO MANY COMMUNITIES OF 
COLOR. 
IT'S UNACCEPTABLE. 
IT CAN'T GO ON LIKE THIS THE 
PLAN THAT PRIORITIZES THE 
HEALTH OF OUR STUDENTS AND 
EDUCATORS AND STAFF ALIKE. 
I LAID OUT MY PLANS BACK IN 
JUNE AND JULY. 
A ROAD MAP FOR HOW TO OPEN, 
REOPEN SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY. 
YOU CAN READ THEM BY GOING TO 
JOEBIDEN.COM. 
WE NEED STRAIGHTFORWARD COMMON 
SENSE SOLUTIONS. 
BUT TRUMP REFUSES TO ACT. 
STARVING SCHOOLS THAT NEEDED 
FUNDING. 
FUNDING THEY NEED NOW. 
NOW. 
THEY NEEDED IT BEGINNING OF THE 
SUMMER. 
NOW TRUMP'S FEMA DIRECTOR IS 
CUTTING SCHOOLS LOOSE. 
JUST YESTERDAY FEMA ANNOUNCED 
THAT AFTER HELPING THREE 
DISTRICTS, I THINK IT WAS 
THREE, THEY ANNOUNCED THAT 
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HELP PAY 
FOR CLOTH MASKS, OTHER PPE OR 
FOR SCHOOL SETTINGS, CLEANING 
THOSE BASIC HEALTH NEEDS. 
SANITIZE EVERYTHING FROM THE 
LABORATORIES TO THE CLASSROOMS. 
SAFETY CALLS FOR SCHOOLS THAT 
DON'T QUALIFY FOR EMERGENCY 
ASSISTANCE. 
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY, MR. 
PRESIDENT. 
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. 
IF DONALD TRUMP AND HIS FEMA 
SHOULD TREAT IT AS ONE. 
IF I WERE PRESIDENT TODAY I'D 
DIRECT FEMA TO MAKE SURE OUR 
KIDS GET FULL ACCESS TO 
DISASTER RELIEF AND EMERGENCY 
ASSISTANCE UNDER THE STAFFORD 
ACT. 
I'D MAKE SURE THAT PPE AND 
SANITATION SUPPLIES QUALIFY AS 
EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE MEASURES. 
WHICH IS A PHRASE THEY USE. 
TO FULLY BE ELIGIBLE FOR 
FEDERAL ASSISTANCE. 
ON TOP OF THAT, I'D BE WORKING 
WITH THE LEADERS OF CONGRESS 
NOW, TODAY, TO PASS EMERGENCY 
PACKAGES FOR SCHOOLS SO THEY 
HAVE THE RESOURCES THEY NEED IN 
ORDER TO BE ABLE TO OPEN 
SAFELY. 
MONEY FOR VENTILATION. 
I HEARD THAT A LOT WHEN I HAD 
ALL THOSE HEALTHCARE WORKERS, 
HEALTHCARE EXPERTS UP ON THE 
ZOOM. 
MONEY FOR VENTILATION AND OTHER 
HEALTH MEASURES. 
MORE MONEY TO HIRE MORE 
TEACHERS. 
EVERY RECOMMENDATION WE GOT WAS 
THEY'RE GOING TO BE, THEY 
SHOULD BE DIVIDING INTO PODS. 
SMALLER CLASSES. 
SMALLER CLASSES MEAN MORE 
EDUCATORS ARE NEEDED. 
KEEPING CLASSES SOCIALLY 
DISTANCED. 
SMALL. 
MONEY FOR MORE PSYCHOLOGISTS. 
AND COUNSELORS. 
INTRODUCE LEGISLATION A LONG 
TIME AGO CALLING FOR, I 
PROPOSED LEGISLATION A LONG 
TIME AGO. 
WE HAVE ONE SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGIST 
FOR EVERY 1507 CHILDREN IN 
SCHOOL. 
THE HEALTHCARE, THE MENTAL 
HEALTH THAT OUR CHILDREN NEED 
NOW, THE ANXIETY THEY'RE 
FEELING. 
AT HOME. 
GOING TO SCHOOL. 
NOT BEING ABLE TO GO TO SCHOOL. 
THE NATION'S SUPERINTENDENTS OF 
SCHOOLS HAVE ESTIMATED THAT 
THEY'LL NEED AT LEAST  $200 
BILLION TO SUPPORT K THROUGH 12 
SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR FOR 
SAFE REOPENING. 
WE NEED THE MONEY TO HIRE 
EDUCATORS AS WELL AS OUR FOUR 
YEAR COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. 
FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGES. 
HBCUs. 
MINORITY SERVING INSTITUTIONS. 
DEMOCRATIC LEADERS ARE READY TO 
GET THIS DONE. 
THEY'VE PROPOSED THIS 
LEGISLATION. 
MR. PRESIDENT, WHERE ARE YOU? 
WHERE ARE YOU? 
WHY AREN'T YOU WORKING ON THIS? 
WE NEED EMERGENCY SUPPORT 
FUNDING FOR OUR SCHOOLS AND WE 
NEED IT NOW. 
MR. PRESIDENT, THAT'S YOUR JOB. 
THAT'S WHAT YOU SHOULD BE 
FOCUSED ON NOW. 
GETTING OUR KIDS BACK TO SCHOOL 
SAFELY. 
KEEPING SCHOOLS SAFELY ABLE TO 
REMAIN OPEN ONCE THEY OPEN. 
NOT INCITING VIOLENCE IN OUR 
STREETS. 
GET OFF TWITTER. 
AND START TALKING TO THE 
CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS AND BOTH 
PARTIES. 
INVITE THEM TO THE OVAL OFFICE. 
THE OVAL OFFICE. 
AND STOP YOUR BOASTS ABOUT 
NEVER BEING SEEN WHAT YOU CAN 
DO ANYTHING, YOU ALWAYS TALK 
ABOUT YOUR ABILITY TO 
NEGOTIATE. 
NEGOTIATE A DEAL. 
A DEAL FOR SOMEBODY OTHER THAN 
YOURSELF. 
NOW I'M HAPPY TO TAKE QUESTIONS 
YOU MAY HAVE, I GUESS STAFF'S 
GOING TO CALL ON WHOEVER. 
FIRE AWAY.
>> THANK YOU, MR. VICE 
PRESIDENT. 
TWO QUICK QUESTIONS FOR YOU IF 
I MAY. 
FIRST AHEAD OF YOUR TRIP TO 
KENOSHA, WISCONSIN TOMORROW, 
LAST WEEK YOUR RUNNING MATE 
SENATOR HARRIS SAID THAT THE 
OFFICER WHO SHOT JACOB BLAKE 
BASED ON WHAT SHE HAS SEEN 
SHOULD BE CHARGED. 
DO YOU AGREE WITH HER AND DO 
YOU ALSO BELIEVE THE SAME FOR 
THE OFFICERS WHO WERE INVOLVED 
IN THE DEATH OF BREONNA TAYLOR? 
>> I THINK WE SHOULD LET THE 
JUDICIAL SYSTEM WORK ITS WAY. 
I DO THINK THERE'S A MINIMUM 
NEED TO BE CHARGED THE OFFICERS 
A WELL AS BREONNA TAYLOR. 
I THINK WHAT HAPPENED IN  
PORTLAND WHERE, ONE OF THE 
TRUMP GUYS RIDING ALONG IN VANS 
INCITING RESPONSE SHOOTIN 
RUBBER BULLETS OR PAINT BALLS. 
APPARENTLY THERE WAS SOMEONE 
SHOT BY SOMEONE IN THE CROWD, 
KILLED. 
I THINK THAT PERSON SHOULD MEET 
THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS WHATEVER 
THAT CALLS FOR. 
SHOULD BEINVESTIGATED AND THEY 
SHOULD FOLLOW THROUGH ON WHAT 
NEEDS TO BE DONE. 
LET THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM WORK. 
LET'S MAKE SURE JUSTICE IS 
DONE. 
>> AND JUST QUICKLY ON A 
DIFFERENT TOPIC, THERE'S A NEW 
BOOK BUT THE NEW YORK TIMES' 
MICHAEL SCHMIDT THAT SAYS WHEN 
PRESIDENT TRUMP MADE AN 
UNANNOUNCED VISIT TO WALTER 
REED HOSPITAL IN 2019 VICE 
PRESIDENT PENCE WAS TOLD TO BE 
ON STAND BY TO TAKE OVER IN 
CASE PRESIDENT TRUMP AS VICE 
PRESIDENT WERE YOU EVER TOLD TO 
BE ON STANDBY OR GIVEN ANY KIND 
OF SPECIAL ALERT WHEN PRESIDENT 
OBAMA WAS GOING IN FOR A 
MEDICAL APPOINTMENT? 
I ALSO JUST WONDER WHETHER YOU 
HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THE 
FACT THAT THAT WALTER REED 
VISIT DIDN'T FOLLOW PRIOR 
PROTOCOL ABOUT PRESIDENTIAL 
VISITS FOR MEDICAL 
EXAMINATIONS. 
>> I'M NOT GOING TO SPECULATE 
ON WHAT IT MEANS. 
BUT I CAN SAY IS THAT NOTHING 
IN THIS ADMINISTRATION DOES IS 
NORMAL. 
AND SO I'M NOT BEING FACETIOUS 
WHEN I SAY THAT. 
SO WHO IN GOD'S NAME KNOWS WHAT 
IT'S ALL ABOUT. 
I JUST DON'T KNOW. 
I DON'T KNOW. 
I'M NOT GOING TO SPECULATE. 
I'LL LET THE EXPERTS DO THAT. 
THE ONLY TIME THAT I HAVE BEEN 
ON NOTICE IS WHEN PRESIDENT'S 
OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND I'M IN 
THE COUNTRY. 
THAT NOT THAT I SHOULD WAIT FOR 
SOMETHING TO BE IMMEDIATELY BE 
AWARE OF ANYTHING BUT THAT 
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE 
CALLED FOR. 
IT WASN'T CALLED FOR. 
>> THANK YOU. 
>> THANK YOU, MR. VICE 
PRESIDENT. 
ON THIS VISIT TO KENOSHA 
TOMORROW, LOCAL DEMOCRATIC 
OFFICIALS INCLUDING THE 
GOVERNOR HAD PREVIOUSLY 
DISCOURAGED PRESIDENT TRUMP 
FROM VISITING AND JUST 
YESTERDAY THE PRESIDENT OF THE 
LOCAL NAACP SAID HE DIDN'T WANT 
TO SEE EITHER OF THE CANDIDATES 
VISIT, THAT THIS WAS SUCH A 
SENSITIVE SITUATION IN THE 
CITY. 
WHY IS NOW THE RIGHT TIME FOR 
YOU TO GO TO KENOSHA AND WHAT 
DO YOU HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH? 
>> WELL, WE'VE SPOKEN TO ALL 
THE LEADERS UP THERE AND 
ALTHOUGH I HAVE AN OUTSTANDING 
CALL WITH THE GOVERNOR, I'VE 
DEALT WITH HIS STAFF, AND 
THERE'S BEEN OVERWHELMING 
REQUEST THAT I DO COME. 
WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS WE HAVE 
TO HEAL. 
WE HAVE TO PUT THINGS TOGETHER. 
BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER. 
SO MY PURPOSE IN GOING WILL BE 
TO DO JUST THAT. 
TO BE A POSITIVE INFLUENCE ON 
WHAT'S GOING ON. 
TALK ABOUT WHAT NEED BE DONE 
AND TRY TO SEE IF THERE'S A 
BEGINNING OF A MECHANISM TO 
BRING THE FOLKS TOGETHER. 
WE HAVE TO HEAL. 
THIS IS ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT 
WE MOVE FORWARD. 
I'VE GOTTEN ADVICE FROM SITTING 
MEMBERS OF THE CONGRESS AND THE 
SENATE AS WELL. 
AND THAT I SHOULD GO. 
I'M NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING 
OTHER THAN MEET WITH, MEETINGS 
WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS AS WELL 
AS BUSINESS PEOPLE AND OTHER 
FOLKS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND TO 
SEE, START TO TALK ABOUT WHAT 
HAS TO BE DONE. 
I'M NOT GOING TO TELL KENOSHA 
WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO. 
WHAT WE HAVE TO DO TOGETHER. 
THE IDEA THAT WE ARE SAYING, 
YOU KNOW, THE PRESIDENT'S 
ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO RETREAT 
TO THEIR CORNERS AND KEEP THIS 
MOVING IS JUST A MISTAKE. 
I'VE SPENT MY WHOLE LIFE 
INCLUDING IN THIS CITY YOU'RE 
IN RIGHT NOW BRINGING PEOPLE 
TOGETHER. 
BRINGING THE COMMUNITY AND 
POLICE OFFICERS TOGETHER. 
BRINGING BUSINESS LEADERS AND 
CIVIC LEADERS TOGETHER. 
THAT'S MY PURPOSE IN GOING. 
>> ON THE FACT YOU'RE TRAVELING 
TO WISCONSIN AT ALL, I BELIEVE 
THIS IS ONLY THE THIRD TIME IN 
THE LAST FEW MONTHS SINCE THE 
ON SET OF THE PANDEMIC THAT 
YOU'LL BE ON A PLANE. 
YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT HOW YOU 
WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW 
ALL THE ADVICE OF YOUR DOCTORS 
IN TERMS OF CAMPAIGNING SAFELY. 
THE QUESTION WE KEEP HEARING 
FROM VOTERS IS WHY AREN'T YOU 
OUT THERE MORE. 
THE PRESIDENT WAS CALLING INTO 
QUESTION YOUR CAMPAIGN SCHEDULE 
TODAY. 
HOW FAR ARE YOU WILLING TO PUSH 
THE ENVELOPE OF WHAT'S SAFE IN 
ORDER TO GET YOUR MESSAGE OUT 
AND TO BE AMONG THE VOTERS? 
>> WELL, I THINK MY MESSAGE IS 
GETTING OUT BASED ON WHAT ALL 
THE POLLING DATA SHOWS AND THE 
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE 
WATCHED WHAT I'VE HAD TO SAY 
AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH 
I'VE SAID IT. 
I WOULD LIKE TO GET OUT MORE 
BUT I THINK A PRESIDENT HAS THE 
RESPONSIBILITY TO SET EXAMPLES. 
SET THE RIGHT EXAMPLE FOR HOW 
TO GET OUT. 
NOT GO OUT AND NOT WEAR MASK 
AND NOT TO HAVE LARGE CROWDS OF 
PEOPLE STANDING ONE ANOTHER NOT 
WEARING MASKS.
WHAT I'VE DONE IS I'VE MET WITH 
VIA WHAT I DID THIS MORNING 
WITH THE MEDICAL EXPERTS. 
SO WE'VE WORKED OUT A PROTOCOL 
WHERE HOW I GET ON THE PLANE, 
WHAT KIND OF PLANE I GET ON, 
HOW IT'S SANITIZED, HOW I 
ENGAGE PEOPLE. 
IT'S LIKE WHEN I'M ENGAGING ALL 
OF YOU WHEREVER I GO. 
IT'S ALWAYS AT A SAFE DISTANCE 
AND EVERYBODY'S WEARING MASKS. 
THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE 
THAT I'M MEETING WITH HAVE COME 
INTO MY HOME AND STAFF AND THE 
LIKE, THEY'RE ALL TESTED AS 
WELL. 
SO I'M JUST TRYING TO SET THE 
EXAMPLE. 
I'M WEARING THE SPECTIVE GEAR. 
A MASK, WHICH I HAVE WITH ME. 
I'M ABLE AT THIS DISTANCE TO 
TAKE IT OFF, NUMBER ONE. 
NUMBER TWO, MAKING SURE THAT WE 
PROCEED IN A WAY WITH ADEQUATE 
SOCIAL DISTANCING AND DO IT THE 
RIGHT WAY. 
>> LAST, QUICKLY. 
THEY ANNOUNCED THE FORMAT AND 
THE MODERATORS OF THE 
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES. 
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'VE SAID 
YOU'LL PARTICIPATE. 
IS THERE ANYTHING THAT COULD 
DISSUADE YOU FROM 
PARTICIPATING? 
HOW HAVE YOU BEGUN TO PREPARE. 
>> I'VE BEGUN TO PREPARE BY 
GOING OVER WHAT THE PRESIDENT 
HAS SAID AND MULTIPLE LIES HE'S 
TOLD. 
WHAT I'D LOVE TO HAVE IS A 
CRAWLER AT THE BOTTOM OF THE 
SCREEN A FACT CHECKER WHEN WE 
SPEAK. 
IF IT WE REALLY WANTED TO DO 
SOMETHING I THINK THAT WOULD 
MAKE A GREAT, GREAT DEBATE. 
IF EVERYTHING BOTH OF US SAID 
WAS INSTANTLY FACT CHECKED BY 
AN AGREED TO GROUP OF PEOPLE 
OUT THERE THAT WE MOVE FORWARD. 
BUT THAT PROBABLY WOULDN'T GET 
VERY FAR IN THE DEBATE. 
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO DEBATING 
THE PRESIDENT. 
I'M GOING TO LAY OUT AS CLEARLY 
AS I CAN WHAT I THINK WE HAVE 
TO DO TO BRING THIS COUNTRY 
BACK AND BUILD IT BACK BETTER 
AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE 
DEBATE.
>> THANK YOU, MR. VICE 
PRESIDENT. 
ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE HEARD A 
LOT FROM VOTERS ACROSS THE 
COUNTRY IS THAT A LOT OF THEM 
ARE WORRIED AND CONCERNED ABOUT 
SOME OF THE ON GOING VIOLENCE 
WE'VE SEEN IN IT CITIES IN THIS 
COUNTRY. 
INCLUDING THE SITUATION IN 
KENOSHA, WISCONSIN. 
I'M CURIOUS, OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE 
NOT PRESIDENT NOW AND DONALD 
TRUMP IS. 
I'M CURIOUS IF YOU WERE 
PRESIDENT, WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO 
ENSURE PEOPLE ARE KEPT SAFE IN 
SITUATIONS LIKE THESE? 
>> I WOULDN'T INCITE VIOLENCE. 
I'D CONDEMN IT WHEN IT 
OCCURRED. 
I WOULD MOVE TO, THE VAST 
MAJORITY OF POLICE OFFICERS ARE 
GOOD DECENT HONORABLE WOMEN AND 
MEN. 
THEY PIN ON THAT SHIELD EVERY 
MORNING AND THEY HAVE A RIGHT 
TO GO HOME THAT NIGHT SAFELY. 
THE VAST MAJORITY. 
JUST THOSE WHO ARE NOT GOOD 
COPS, ALL THE POLICE I'VE DEALT 
WITH MY WHOLE LIFE I'VE BEEN 
DEALING WITH, I'VE GOTTENNEN 
OVERWELLING SUPPORT THROUGH LAW 
ENFORCEMENT THROUGH MY WHOLE 
CAREER. 
THEY'RE THE ONES THAT WANT TO 
GET RID OF THE BAD COPS BECAUSE 
IT REFLECTS ON THEM. 
NUMBER ONE. 
NUMBER TWO, I WOULD MAKE SURE 
EVERYBODY UNDERSTOOD IF I WERE 
PRESIDENT THAT ANY VIOLENCE, 
ANY VIOLENCE, PROTESTING IS A 
RIGHT AND FREE SPEECH IS A 
RIGHT. 
BUT TO ENGAGE IN VIOLENCE 
BURNING, LOOTING AND THE REST 
IN THE NAME OF PROTESTING IS 
WRONG AND THE PERSONS SHOULD BE 
HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR 
ACTIONS. 
WHAT I'D BE DOING IS I'D BE 
BRINGING TOGETHER PEOPLE IN THE 
WHITE HOUSE RIGHT NOW. 
I'D BE HAVING THAT POLICE 
COMMISSION SETUP. 
I'D HAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT AT THE 
TABLE. 
I'D HAVE THE COMMUNITY AT THE 
TABLE. 
I'D HAVE PEOPLE AND SAYING HOW 
DO WE GET THROUGH THIS. 
WHAT DO WE DO TO DEAL WITH IT 
THIS. 
I BELIEVE THE COMMUNITY AT WRIT 
LARGE AS WELL AS LAW 
ENFORCEMENT WANT TO STRAIGHTEN 
THINGS OUT, NOT ENFLAME THINGS. 
THIS PRESIDENT KEEPS THROWING 
GASOLINE ON THE FIRE EVERY 
PLACE HE GOES. 
I NOTICED, I DIDN'T WATCH MUCH 
OF IT BUT I WATCHED THE REPORTS 
FROM ALL OF YOU, FROM THE 
PRESS. 
WHEN HE WAS ASKED WHAT SHOULD 
BE DONE WITH REGARD TO A YOUNG 
MAN SHOT IN THE BACK SEVEN 
TIMES IN FRONT OF HIS CHILDREN 
I DIDN'T HEAR MUCH OF ANYTHING 
COME FROM HIM. 
WHAT SHOULD WE BE DOING DOWN 
THE LINE? 
I WISH HE'D TAKE 
RESPONSIBILITY. 
AS MUCH AS HE'D LIKE TO BE 
RUNNING AGAINST SOMEBODY ELSE, 
HE'S RUNNING AGAINST ME, JOE 
BIDEN. 
AND THE FACT IS THAT HE IS NOT 
ACTING VERY RESPONSIBLY.
>> THANK YOU, MR. VICE 
PRESIDENT. 
YOU'VE OUTLINED YOUR PLAN TO 
REOPEN SCHOOLS SAFELY, BUT WHAT 
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IN THE 
INTERIM? 
RIGHT NOW MILLIONS OF PARENTS 
ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE FACING 
THIS VERY IMPOSSIBLE TASK OF 
TRYING TO WORK FULL TIME AND 
HELP THEIR CHILDREN FULL TIME 
TO LEARN VIRTUALLY. 
WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE TO THESE 
PARENTS AND WHAT CAN YOU DO TO 
HELP THEM WHILE YOU WORK TO 
REOPEN SCHOOLS? 
>> HELP IS ON THE WAY. 
I'VE LAID OUT A CLEAR PLAN FOR 
CHILD CARE. 
A CLEAR PLAN FOR STARTING EARLY 
EDUCATION AS WELL SO THREE AND 
FOUR AND FIVE-YEAR-OLDS ARE IN 
SCHOOL AND LIKE. 
I'M NOT PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW. 
WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING IS WE 
SHOULD BE PROVIDING FOR MORE 
HELP FOR PEOPLE WHO IN FACT ARE 
TRYING TO JUGGLE THE CHOICE 
BETWEEN DO I STAY HOME WITH MY 
THREE, FOUR OR FIVE-YEAR-OLD 
AND TAKE CARE OF THEM IN THE 
MIDDLE OF THIS COVID PROBLEM OR 
DO I GO TO WORK AND EARN A 
SALARY. 
WHAT DO I DO? 
SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE, I HAVE A 
MAJOR INITIATIVE TO DEAL WITH 
CHILD CARE AND ELDER CARE. 
SO PEOPLE CAN BE ADEQUATELY 
PAID TO COME TAKE CARE OF 
FOLKS. 
CHILDREN, AS WELL AS THE 
ELDERRERLY YOU MAY BE TAKING 
CARE OF. 
A HUSBAND OR WIFE MAY BE TAKING 
CARE OF. 
AS WELL AS MAKING SURE THAT 
THOSE ARE ABLE TO GET BACK TO 
WORK. 
THAT'S WHY FOCUSING ON DAY CARE 
CENTERS AND MAKING SURE THEY'RE 
SAFE AND HEALTHY NOW IS EQUALLY 
AS IMPORTANT AS DEALING, ALMOST 
AS E = LAY AS IMPORTANT AS 
DEALING WITH SCHOOLS. 
DEALING WITH ALL OF THE PPE AND 
SAFETY THAT IS NECESSARY AND 
SANITARY CAPACITY TO ALLOW THEM 
TO OPEN. 
SOME STATES HAVE GONE IN AND 
DONE THAT. 
THERE SHOULD BE UNIVERSAL 
GUIDANCE COMING FROM THE 
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES 
OF AMERICA. 
THERE SHOULD BE BASIC 
STANDARDS. 
YOU CAN SAFELY OPEN A CHILD 
CARE CENTER. 
IN ADDITION TO THAT, IN THE 
FUTURE THE IDEA THIS IS BROUGHT 
HOME A NUMBER OF GLARING 
PROBLEMS WE HAVE IN AMERICA. 
THIS MOLE PANDEMIC AND WHAT'S 
HAPPENED IN TERMS OF JOBS. 
THE IDEA WE'RE IN A SITUATION 
WHERE YOU HAVE SO MANY PARENTS 
WHO HAVE TO MAKE THE DIFFICULT 
CHOICE AS A SINGLE PARENT OR 
BOTH WORKING PARENTS TO DECIDE 
WHETHER ONE GIVES UP THEIR 
SALARY AND STAYS HOME WITH A 
CHILD UNDER THE AGE OF 5 OR 6 
AND OR LEAVE SOMEBODY WITH 
SOMEBODY THAT IS NOT 
PARTICULARLY QUALIFIED AND GOES 
TO WORK SO THEY CAN EARN A 
LIVING IS A CHOICE WE SHOULDN'T 
BE MAKING. 
WE'RE THE ONLY INDUSTRIALIZE 
THE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD THAT 
FORCES PEOPLE TO MAKE THAT KIND 
OF CHOICE. 
THERE SHOULD BE, NO ONE SHOULD 
HAVE TO PAY MORE THAN 7% OF 
THEIR INCOME TO PROVIDE FOR 
CHILD CARE. 
AND BE ABLE TO GO TO WORK. 
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS A 
MAJOR ELEMENT OF MY BUILD BACK 
BETTER PROGRAM. 
IN THE MEANTIME, THE MOST 
IMPORTANT THING THAT CAN BE 
DONE IS HAVE CDC ISSUE REALLY 
STRAIGHTFORWARD GUIDELINES ON 
WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES YOU SHOULD 
BE ABLE TO OPEN UP YOUR DAY 
CARE CENTER OR YOUR CHILD CARE 
CENTER NOW. 
THERE SHOULD BE CLEAR STANDARDS 
AND STATES SHOULD HAVE THE 
WHEREWITHAL TO GO OUT AND 
INSPECT THOSE FACILITIES NOW. 
ONE THING I HAVEN'T MENTIONED. 
ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID. 
REMEMBER, WELL, WHEN WE 
INHERITED THE GREAT RECESSION.
WE ENDED ONE A SO-CALLED 
RECOVERY ACT, WHICH SPENT OVER 
$800 BILLION IN THIS 18 MONTHS. 
KEPT US FROM GOING INTO 
DEPRESSION. 
WHAT'D WE DO? 
WE SPENT ALMOST, BILLIONS OF 
DOLLARS MAKING SURE THAT STATES 
WERE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THEIR 
ESSENTIAL WORKERS. 
THEIR DOCTORS, NURSES, PUBLIC 
HOSPITALS. 
NOW WHAT'S HAPPENING. 
THIS REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION 
WILL NOT SUPPORT THAT AND THE 
REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP IN THE 
UNITED STATES SENATE WILL NOT 
SUPPORT IT SO WHAT'S HAPPENING? 
WE DON'T HAVE THAT HELP. 
IT'S NOT OUT THERE. 
AND STATES ARE IN REAL TROUBLE 
AND TO QUOTE MY GOOD FRIEND 
MITCH McCONNELL HE SAYS LET THE 
STATES GO BANKRUPT. 
STATES HAVE TO BALANCE THEIR 
BUDGETS UNDER THE LAW. 
COMMUNITIES, COUNTIES, CITIES, 
THEY HAVE TO BALANCE THEIR 
BUDGET. 
THERE'S A REASON WHY THE 
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS ABLE TO 
RUN A DEFICIT. 
TO COMPENSATE IN TIMES OF REAL 
ECONOMIC CRISIS. 
AND WHAT'S HAPPENING? 
NOTHING. 
NOTHING. 
AND GUESS WHAT,  WE CAME OUT OF 
THAT RECESSION WITH THE LONGEST 
SPURT OF ECONOMIC GROWTH OF ANY 
ADMINISTRATION IN AMERICAN 
HISTORY. 
BUT THESE GUYS, I COULD GO ON. 
BUSINESSES. 
LOOK AT THE MONEY THAT WAS 
PASSED UNDER THE CARES ACT. 
FOR BUSINESSES. 
SMALL BUSINESSES. 
BE ABLE TO STAY OPEN. 
YOU HAVE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF 
THEM GOING OUT OF BUSINESS. 
MANY OF THEM PERMANENTLY. 
WHY? 
THE MONEY DIDN'T GET TO SMALL 
BUSINESSES. 
THEY'RE NOT OPEN. 
WE SHOULD BE DEALING WITH THOSE 
BUSINESSES THAT HAVE BEEN BURNT 
OUT AND THOSE AND DAMAGED. 
WE SHOULD BE FINDING FEDERAL 
HELP FOR THOSE BUSINESSES TO 
GET BACK ON THEIR FEET. 
BUT THIS ADMINISTRATION SEEMS 
TO THINK IT'S ALL AFTER SUDDEN 
GOING TO GO AWAY LIKE ANGEL 
DUST IS GOING TO BE SPRAYED 
AROUND. 
EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE OKAY. 
I JUST DON'T GET IT. 
THEY HAVE TO KNOW BETTER. 
THEY HAVE TO KNOW BETTER. 
APE AND WE HAD AN EXAMPLE JUST 
THE LAST ADMINISTRATION HOW 
MUCH GOOD YOU CAN DO AND HOW 
MUCH GROWTH YOU CAN GENERATE. 
I JUST DON'T GET THESE GUYS. 
I REALLY DON'T. 
NOT A JOKE. 
I'VE BEEN DOING THIS A LONG 
TIME BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN A 
PRESIDENT LACK AS MUCH 
LEADERSHIP, INABILITY TO MAKE A 
DEAL AND YOU'VE GOT ABOUT I'M 
TOLD THE REASON THEY CAN'T GET 
ANYTHING DONE IN THE REPUBLICAN 
CONGRESS IS 20 MEMBERS OF THE 
UNITED STATES SENATE SAY UNDER 
NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THEY 
RAISE THE DEFICIT AT ALL. 
WELL THAT'S WONDERFUL. 
AND WE'RE IN A POSITION WE'RE 
IN NOW. 
LOOK AT OTHER COUNTRIES. 
THEY'RE DOING ONE HELL OF A LOT 
BETTER AND YET WE STILL HAVE 
OVER US WHAT'S UP TO 186,000 
PEOPLE DEAD? 
OVER 6 MILLION, WAS IT 6 
MILLION, 300,000, WHATEVER THE 
NUMBER IS THAT HAVE CONTRACTED 
THE DISEASE AND NO END IN 
SIGHT. 
IT'S JUST IRRESPONSIBLE. 
TALK ABOUT A NO NOTHING 
CONGRESS. 
ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE. 
A NO NOTHING PRESIDENT. 
I DON'T GET IT. 
I REALLY DON'T GET IT. 
IT'S GOING TO CHANGE COME 
JANUARY, GOD WILLING. 
>> WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THE 
TEACHERS AFRAID TO RETURN TO 
THE CLASSROOM EVEN IF THE 
SAFETY PROTOCOLS YOU PROPOSED 
ARE IN PLACE? 
>> I UNDERSTAND THEIR CONCERN. 
SO MANY OF THE TEACHERS ALSO 
HAVE OTHER PRE-EXISTING 
CONDITIONS THAT LEND ITSELF TO 
THE FACT THAT IF THEY WERE TO 
CONTRACT THE COVID DISEASE, 
COVID-19, THAT THEY WOULD BE 
VERY SUSCEPTIBLE TO BEING IN 
REAL TROUBLE. 
IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE WHY THEY'RE 
DOING IT. 
THE FIRST THING TO DO IS MAKE 
SURE THAT ALL THE PROTECTIVE 
CAPACITY THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE 
TO US IS MADE AVAILABLE AND 
THEN MAKE CHOICES ABOUT WHETHER 
OR NOT LET THE DISTRICTS MAKE 
CHOICES ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT 
THEY OPEN FULLY, WHETHER THEY 
ROTATE AND WHETHER OR NOT THOSE 
TEACHERS ARE ABLE TO BE ABLE TO 
TEACH FROM HOME AND REMOTE 
LEARNING. 
BUT IT'S REALLY UNDERSTANDABLE 
WHY THEY WOULD. 
LOOK LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENED IN 
THIS COVID CRISIS SO FAR. 
100MILLION, 100,000 PEOPLE HAVE 
DIED WHO WERE ABOVE THE AGE OF 
65. 
100,000 OUT OF THE 200 AND SOME 
THAT HAVE DIED. 
NOT 200 AND SOME. 
189 OR WHATEVER IT IS NOW. 
ESTIMATED I HEARD TODAY THE 
ESTIMATES RANGE FROM TWO 
SIGNIFICANT UNIVERSITIES ONE IS 
GOING TO BE AS MANY AS 239 I 
THINK AND ANOTHER ONE SAID BY 
DECEMBER, 312. 
I DON'T KNOW THAT. 
BUT THAT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S 
GOING TO GO HIGHER. 
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY 
IT'S A POLITICAL PROBLEM. 
WHAT IS THE POLITICS ABOUT NOT 
BEING WILLING TO GO IN AND HELP 
PROVIDE THE PROTECTIVE CAPACITY 
FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO GO 
BACK TO WORK. 
I CAN'T FATHOM IT.
>> YOU TALKED TODAY ABOUT 
REOPENING SCHOOLS. 
WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT 
SOMETHING YOU SAID ABOUT THE 
POTENTIAL OF HAVING TO SHUT 
DOWN THE ECONOMY AGAIN. 
YOU WERE ASKED IF YOU'D BE 
WILLING TO SHUT IT DOWN IF 
HEALTH EXPERTS ADVISE YOU TO DO 
SO. 
THAT YOU WOULD LISTEN TO THE 
SCIENTISTS. 
BUT I'M CURIOUS HOW YOU WOULD 
DO THAT AT A FEDERAL LEVEL AND 
HOW YOU WOULD BALANCE THAT CALL 
TO SHUT DOWN POTENTIALLY IF YOU 
HAD ECONOMIC ADVISORS SAYING 
YOU'D DO THIS AGAIN YOU COULD 
PLUNGE THE COUNTRY INTO AN EVEN 
DEEPER ECONOMIC CRISIS. 
>> WELL LOOK, I KNOW YOU'RE 
TIRED OF HEARING ME SAY THIS. 
I'VE BEEN SAYING IT SINCE LAST 
JANUARY. 
THE IDEA THAT YOU'RE GOING TO 
BE ABLE TO GET THE ECONOMY BACK 
ON TRACK WITHOUT GETTING COVID 
UNDER CONTROL IS COMPLETELY 
COUNTERINTUITIVE. 
IT'S NOT THERE. 
IT CAN'T HAPPEN. 
SO UNLESS WE'RE ABLE TO DEAL 
WITH THE DISEASE AND 
DRASTICALLY CUT ITS IMPACT ON 
PEOPLES CONFIDENCE AND BEING 
ABLE TO EITHER GO TO WORK OR 
WALK INTO A BUSINESS OR DO 
BUSINESS, THEN IT DOESN'T 
MATTER A LOT. 
THERE'S GOING TO BE NO NEED IN 
MY VIEW TO BE ABLE TO SHUT DOWN 
THE WHOLE ECONOMY. 
I GOT ASKED BY DAVID MUIR IF I 
WAS ASKED TO SHUT EVERYTHING 
DOWN. 
I TOOK THAT AS A GENERIC 
QUESTION IF I'M GOING TO FOLLOW 
THE SCIENCE. 
I AM GOING TO INSIST, AND I 
INSIST NOW WITHOUT ANY 
AUTHORITY, THAT EVERY 
RESPONSIBLE PERSON IN THIS 
COUNTRY WHEN THEY'RE OUT IN 
PUBLIC OR NOT WITH A COHORT 
THEY HAVE LIVED WITH THAT THEY 
WEAR A MASK. 
AND KEEP SOCIALLY DISTANCED. 
YOU CAN TAKE A MASK OFF WHEN 
YOU'RE 12, 15 FEET AWAY. 
I WOULD FOLLOW. 
I WOULD REALLY MAKE THE CASE. 
BY THE WAY, WHEN I FIND THESE 
FOLKS TALKING ABOUT MY FREEDOM. 
I TALK ABOUT PATRIOTISM. 
WHY DO YOU WEAR A MASK? 
TO PROTECT YOUR NEIGHBOR. 
TO KEEP SOMEONE ELSE FROM 
GETTING SICK AND MAYBE DYING. 
I CALL THAT PATRIOTIC. 
THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF 
AMERICA. 
EVERY GENERATION HAS MADE 
SACRIFICES TO HELP OTHERS IN 
MOMENTS OF CRISES. 
>> SO YOU DON'T SEE, YOU'D 
SUGGESTED THERE WOULD BE A 
FEDERAL MANDATE ABOUT MASKS AND 
NOW YOU'RE SAYING YOU'D 
ENCOURAGE PEOPLE? 
>> NO, NO, WHAT I SUGGESTED WAS 
I WOULD ASK EVERY PERSON IN 
AUTHORITY, THERE'S A QUESTION 
WHETHER OR NOT A PRESIDENT 
UNDER THE CONSTITUTION COULD 
MANDATE EVERYONE TO WEAR A 
MASK. 
AND REMEMBER, ALL DURING THE 
PRIMARY I'D HAVE A LOT OF 
PEOPLE TELLING ME I WOULD BY 
EXECUTIVE ORDER DO. 
I'M A CONSTITUTIONALIST. 
YOU CAN'T DO THINGS THE 
CONSTITUTION DOESN'T ALLOW YOU 
THE POWER TO DO. 
WHAT I WOULD BE DOING IS 
PUTTING AS MUCH PRESSURE AS I 
COULD ON EVERY GOVERNOR, EVERY 
SENATOR, EXCUSE ME. 
EVERY MAYOR, EVERY COUNTY 
EXECUTIVE, EVERY LOCAL OFFICIAL 
AND EVERYONE IN BUSINESS. 
PUTTING PRESSURE ON THEM TO SAY 
WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS 
IRRESPONSIBLE. 
MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A MASK AND 
MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING. 
THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE ACCEPT THAT 
NOTION. 
>> ONE MORE QUICK CAMPAIGN 
QUESTION. 
YOU RAISED $364.5 MILLION LAST 
MONTH. 
RECORD FOR A MONTHLY HAUL 
APPARENTLY. 
HOW YOU GOING TO SPEND IT? 
>> YOU WANT TO GO TO DINNER? 
NO. 
I'D TELL YOU WHAT, LOOK, WHAT 
I'M HAVING TO SPEND A LOT OF IT 
ON IS TO COUNTER THE LIES THAT 
ARE BEING TOLD BY MY, BY 
TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN AND SWIFT 
VOTERS OUT THERE, A NEW PAC. 
WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS SPEND 
MOST OF THAT -- AND BY THE WAY, 
I THINK THE AVERAGE 
CONTRIBUTION WAS LIKE $40. 
WE HAVE OVER 1,600,000 PEOPLE 
WHO CONTRIBUTE THE IN THE 
MIDDLE OF THIS ECONOMIC CRISIS. 
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 5, 10, 15. 
I'D SAY THAT SHOWS GENUINE 
ENTHUSIASM ABOUT WANTING TO 
MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A CHANCE 
OF BECOMING PRESIDENT OF THE 
UNITED STATES. 
WHAT I WILL SPEND MOST OF IT 
DOING IS TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO 
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HOW I WANT 
TO UNITE THE COUNTRY. 
WHAT I WANT TO DO TO MAKE THE 
COUNTRY BETTER. 
WHY Y I'M SO CONFIDENT WE CAN 
DO IT. 
WHY I'M SO CONFIDENT WE CAN 
BRING THE COUNTRY TOGETHER AND 
BE IN A BETTER POSITION THAN 
BEFORE THIS CRISIS OCCURRED. 
THERE'S BEEN SO MANY FISSURES 
EXPOSED AS A CONSEQUENCE OF 
WHAT'S HAPPENED THAT PEOPLE ARE 
NOW REALIZING MY LORD I DIDN'T 
KNOW THAT PEOPLE IN THAT 
CIRCUMSTANCE DIDN'T HAVE THAT 
KIND OF HELP. 
I DIDN'T KNOW WHATEVER AND SO I 
THINK WE HAVE AN ENORMOUS 
OPPORTUNITY TO BRING THE 
COUNTRY TOGETHER AND ONCE AGAIN 
LEAD THE WORLD. 
YOU HEARD ME SAY IT A HUNDRED 
TIMES. 
NOT  POWER OF OUR 
EXAMPLE. 
THANK YOU FOR TAKING YOUR TIME. 
>> THANK YOU. 
>> I KNOW YOU ALWAYS ASK A 
QUESTION, GO AHEAD. 
>> YOU SAID YOU WARNED 
PRESIDENT TRUMP IN JANUARY THAT 
THERE WAS GOING TO BE A 
PANDEMIC AND WHAT NEEDED TO BE 
DONE. 
IF YOU KNEW THAT, WHY WERE YOU 
STILL HOSTING CROWDED CAMPAIGN 
RALLIES IN MARCH? 
I GO WHEN I TALKED ABOUT IT, IT 
WAS NOT WHAT HAD TO BE DONE, I 
SAID YOU HAVE TO TAKE THIS 
SERIOUSLY. 
YOU HAVE TO INSIST THAT WE HAVE 
ACCESS TO WUHAN AND CHINA TO 
FIND OUT FOR OURSELVES. 
WE HAD 44 PEOPLE FROM THE 
CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND 
PREVENTION THERE. 
YOU CAN CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT 
THE PRESIDENT OF CHINA SAYING 
HE'S DONE A MARVELOUS JOB AND 
DOING A GREAT JOB WHEN IT GOT 
TO MARCH I KEPT SAYING LOOK, 
YOU HAVE TO INVOKE THE DEFENSE 
PRODUCTION ACT. 
WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH -- WE USE 
PPE IN THE PUBLIC KNOWS WHAT 
THAT IS NOW. 
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND GEAR 
AND VENTILATORS. 
USE THAT AUTHORITY. 
USER TO GO OUT THERE NOW AND 
DON'T WAIT. 
DON'T WAIT TO TALK ABOUT THE 
NEED FOR US TO HAVE MASKS AND 
THE NEED DASHED THAT IS WHAT I 
TALKED ABOUT. 
THEN I BEGAN TO LAY OUT FOR HIM 
-- WE HAD A CONVERSATION. 
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS, I 
THINK IT WAS MARCH, MAYBE 
APRIL. 
IN THAT RANGE. 
HE SAID IF BIDEN WANTS TO HELP 
I WOULD TALK TO HIM. 
I LAID OUT WHAT I THOUGHT 
SHOULD BE DONE TO REOPEN 
SAFELY. 
HE WAS VERY POLITE AND LISTENED 
AND HE SAID HE WOULD THINK 
ABOUT IT AND THAT WAS THE END 
OF IT. 
SO, WHAT I -- WHAT BECAME CLEAR 
IS THAT AS THE SCIENCE BEGAN TO 
SHOW THAT THIS WAS ABLE TO 
SPREAD MUCH MORE EASILY THAN 
PEOPLE THOUGHT, WAS A PANDEMIC 
COMING AND HOW DID IT -- WHAT 
WAS THE MOST DAMAGE. 
IS THAT WRONG? 
WE CONCLUDED WE CAN'T CONTINUE 
TO HAVE LARGE RALLIES. 
THINK ABOUT IT. 
HERE WE ARE, THE REST OF THE 
WORLD AND PLACES HAVE DONE 
EXTREMELY WELL IN TERMS OF 
DEALING WITH THIS COVERT CRISIS 
AROUND THE WORLD. 
WE HAVE -- THE FIVE LARGEST 
COUNTRIES IN EUROPE HAVE A 
POPULATION LARGER THAN THE 
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 
YET, IN AUGUST WE ARE LOSING 
1000 LIVES A DAY AND THEY ARE 
LOSING 57 COMBINED. 
COMBINED. 
ALL OF THEM COMBINED. 
>> SO, AS WE LEARN MORE, WE DID 
IT LEARN MORE AND BY MARCH AND 
APRIL WE KNEW A WHOLE HECK OF A 
LOT MORE. 
WHY WEREN'T WE DOING WHAT 
NEEDED TO BE DONE? 
WHY ARE WE BEING TOLD THAT WE 
HAVE PLENTY OF PROTECTIVE GEAR 
AND THE ONE BIG THING THAT I 
DID PUSH A LOT ON, I WASN'T THE 
ONLY ONE WAS TRACING AND 
TESTING AND MOVING RAPIDLY TO 
MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAD THE 
CAPACITY TO TEST AND TRACE 
BEFORE IT GOT SO OUT OF 
CONTROL. 
WE NEED TO DO THAT NOW. 
HERE IS THE THING AND I WILL 
AND WITH THIS. 
I APOLOGIZE FOR KEEPING YOU. 
THE THING THAT I JUST DON'T 
QUITE UNDERSTAND IS WHEN IT IS 
CLEAR THAT SOME OF THE THINGS 
THAT THE PRESIDENT SAYS ARE 
SIMPLY NOT TRUE RELATING TO 
THIS CRISIS. 
WHEN AN ENORMOUS PRESSURE IS 
PUT ON PROFESSIONALS IN THE 
ADMINISTRATION FROM THE CENTERS 
FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND 
PREVENTION TO NIH, ACROSS THE 
BOARD, WHY DO WE THINK GOD 
WILLING, WHEN WE GET A VACCINE 
THAT IS GOOD AND WORKS, WHY DO 
WE THINK THE PUBLIC WILL LINE 
úUP TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THAT AND 
TAKE THE INJECTION? 
>> WE HAVE LOST SO MUCH 
CONFIDENCE IN WHAT IS SAID. WE 
ARE FINDING OUT, AGAIN TODAY, 
PLASMA, THAT DOESN'T WORK THE 
WAY WE THOUGHT IT WOULD. 
THIS PRESIDENT HAS SAID SO MANY 
THINGS THAT ARE UNTRUE. THEY 
ARE JUST WRONG. 
IN ORDER TO DO ANYTHING, HE 
LOOKS AT IT ONE WAY AND IF THE 
MARKET, STOCK MARKET IS HIGH, 
AND IT IS MOVING, AND WE ARE 
REDUCING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE 
WHO ARE IN REAL TROUBLE 
ECONOMICALLY THAT IT DOESN'T 
MATTER WHAT I SAY. 
THAT IS THE OBJECTIVE. 
THAT'S THE OBJECTIVE. 
THE OBJECTIVE IS TO KEEP THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE SAFE SO WE CAN 
BEGIN TO GET BACK TO NORMAL 
REBUILDING OUR ECONOMY AND 
BRINGING BACK ECONOMIC GROWTH. 
THANK YOU ALL, VERY MUCH. 
>> THANK YOU. 
>> 
>>> HELLO. 
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
