Hey folks, Mr Burns, how I more aid good, where she, starting at a reasonable hour lever. Forty, its forty every civilized, like almost everything else tonight. our last debate of twenty twenty you gonna miss this the short answer is no so out the first target area my phone, my computer keeps meeting itself and I don't know what that is that have something to do with. hi Clair we're a joke on you, Why are you meeting me about them under the bed? That's very funny And a very mean

you, that's, brilliant and disruptive from New York. I'm likeable bar. This is a day to today, the final presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden we watched as always with national Political corresponded Alex exports. It's Friday October. Twenty third. I was a bit like the first debate was defined by present trumps interruptions. The second debate was cancelled because the present refused to participate in it remotely and so What were you thinking having into this? Third

final debate. What will your expectations for each side? Will president candidly, I didn't know what to expect that. I don't think anybody else did including people who work for him, because it was such a question of his self control, his own frame of mind. You know: what do you have any interest in actually delivering anything resembling a campaign message or just for the lashing out wildly? What Republicans were hoping for was that at best he would deliver a focused, persuasive message for his own re election and a more focused and disciplined negative case against Joe Biden that that might give him a little bit more room to take another shot at this in the last two weeks is an underdog On the democratic side? There was a real hope either that trumpet blow it on his own and just sort of give its abiding by default, or that

Failing that that it would be a somewhat more structured debate that would give Biden the chance to get out more of his message than he did last time, because, let's remember that first debate was terrible for President Trump. It's not like, we heard a whole lot of Joe Biden or that he got in a really much air time at all to deliver an extended argument for him good evening from Belmont University in Nashville Tennessee, I'm Kristen Welter of NBC News, and I welcome you to the final twenty twenty presidential debate between President Donald J, Trump and former. President Joe Biden of he's a list of what actually happens, as the debate begins. So from the very outset, you get a clear signal,

The moderator christen welter of NBC News that they are hoping to have a different kind of debate this time for debate. Commission will then turn on their microphone only when it is their turn to answer, and the commission will turn it off exactly when the two minutes have expire to your minds. The candidates of the rules that there's gonna be a new button employed to let each of them take some time to give their answers uninterrupted, at least at the start of each question. But on behalf of the voters, I'm going to ask you to. Please speak one at a time. The goal is for you to hear each other and for the american people to hear every word of what you both have to say very, very clear, polite, but firm instruction that, let's not do that whole thing again and that's kind of what happens at least for the first few segments of the debate. We really did see that kind of structured and linear exchange of views, and we will begin with the fight against the corona virus. President Trump. The first question is for you the kind

is heading into a dangerous new phase more than four a thousand Americans or in the hospital tonight was covered, including Roy, for numbers here in Tennessee. The first topic was the corona virus pandemic, and the first question went to President Trump to explain why he would do in the coming months as we see a new surge and cases and the death toll continues to rise. If you know it The mortality rate is down eighty five percent, the says mortality rate is way down and much lower than almost any other country, and we are fighting? Who are finding it hard to resist hand? What we heard from the president was: pretty much. What we have been hearing from the president, which was a just trust me happy day, are almost here again kind of men: It was a very big spike in Arizona it's now gone and there some spikes and searches and other places they will soon began. We have a vaccine That's coming, it's ready promising.

Vaccine was right around the corner and saying The most important thing was that other countries not be locked down again I can tell, from personal experience had I was in the hospital I had it. I got back any invoked his own a hospital is Should this happened, of course, right after the first presidential debate areas, one of a kind, Study and why things are getting better that there are therapies, it didn't exist, never mind the fact that most Americans obviously can't get. the kind of healthcare that he'd gotten. Ok, former vice President Biden to you. How would you leave the country out of this crisis? You have two minutes uninterrupted. Two hundred twenty thousand Americans dead. From there we go over to Joe Biden and it's just a totally different reality. The expectation is, will have another two hundred thousand Americans dead, be time if you now and the end of the year for just war,

These mass presents own advisers who told them we could save a hundred thousand lives that no normalcy is not right around the corner and that in order to get us there, there needs to be a much robust, federal response on the virus, four levels. I will take care of this. I will, and this I will make sure we have a plan that I think we we see This exchange Biden delivering, I think, his most direct his blood test critique of the night against the President just saying anybody who presides over this. Many American DAS can't be re elected. You also set a vaccine will be coming within weeks. Is that a guarantee is not a guarantee but it will be by the end of the year, but our during these exchanges, unlike in efforts to meet the president, ever interrupts Joe by now. Let's talk about those president, we have to respond to our police and then I have a father. You appreciated and I'm sure

What's your understanding of? What's behind that change in tone from the Trump camp? Is it possible to present Paul numbers, were pretty bad after that first debate was there and instruction he received from his advisers. Do we think that he needed to stop that particular behaviour that it was alienating voters. What was happening really. The above you know the president came out of the first debate thinking he did well and was sort of steadily? I dont know that he was fully disabused. That notion but There was really a mood of panic across the republican party. After that first debate, look the president has now been delivering a focused campaigners. on the trail. He has not been making a strong affirmative case for his re election but he has been hearing from here. Advisers and from other Republicans that if it takes a divine, while inside the lines a little bit more in terms of the. basic rules of the debate and the basic parameter

of what Americans like to see from president that maybe his message would be more effective in part of that focused Message seem to involve a little bit of unexpected humility from the president. He took responsibility for the corona. In an exchange, and that really through me a little we dangerous, you tell the people is dangerous. Now what do they do about the danger? And you say I take it- responsibility. It threw me too, and I think it was a little bit of a rhetorical acrobatics from the president and that he said about your teeth. Jerry, I take full responsibility. I take responsibility. It's not my fault that it came. its China's wealth, and you know what it's not just for that it came here either its China's for they immediately said? Basically, this is on China, but you're right that we haven't heard him. Even you those words before either in this in a somewhat evasive and tat and

On this question of tone, I think One was waiting for doll tromp to go after Biden very early and very hard on this very into reporting. That's come out in new post about Biden, Hunter, how he made his money overseas, but interest when it was not tromp who really initiated that discussion. That's right! This was an interesting moment at the beginning of the second section of the debate, which was all right. We're gonna move onto our next section, which is national security, focused on foreign interference in american elections. This question goes to you, Mr Vice President. What would you do to put an end to this threat? You have two minutes uninterrupted. I made it clear to everyone else who take the pledge made it clear that the country, no matter who it is that interferes in american elections, will pay a price than the first question goes to Biden and he uses it to issue a warning to

foreign countries like Russia, like IRAN, to say, if you metal and our elections, you will pay a price for it. But the point is this: folks we are in a situation where we have foreign company countries. Try to interfere in the outcome of our election, his own National Security Visor told him that what is happening with his body? and then he goes a little bit further and he alludes to information that is being spread around in the? U S and to the president's. He refers to him as the President's buddy Rudy, Giuliani, Rudy Giuliani has been one of the key people involved in stoking stories in places like the New York posts that are purportedly right sourced to private email. the Giuliani claims to have obtained, but of course we know that our Giuliani spent time earlier this year and Eastern Europe sort of seeking information there from questionable sources and so no bite

starts to bring up Giuliani. I should I will his buddy Rudy Giuliani, he's being used as a russian pawn he's being seen in kind catch himself as though he realizes that's your rebuttal. That's not something you're supposed to do preemptively, but then he decides to go ahead with it and says in other Giuliani. His potentially being used as a russian pawn may respond to. The first part, is Joe Answer Joe got three and a half million dollars from Russia and it came through potent because he was very friendly way. The former mayor of Moscow- and it was the mayor of Moscow's wife and you got three and five million dollars. Your family got three and a half million dollars in and the president essentially seasons and opening that he was obviously waiting for or perhaps would have tried to create on his own too then spend much of the next segment of the debaters poking and prodding. These allegations about Joe Biden

the alarm, but now with what came out today, it's even worse all of the emails, the emails horrible emails of the kind of money that you were raking in you and your family and show you a vice, president when some of this was happening and it should have never happened and This was clearly one and was anticipated subjects of this debate and Trump does seize on it, like you said, but in what fur him felt like oddly polite terms, He takes a sort of insinuating approach rather than the sort of double barrel smear that is so characteristic of the way he does Politics outlining what he says or that these questions that have just surface. Of course he does not acknowledge what the sourcing is and the questions about the provenance liability. The reports on the involvement of his personal, eyes, but he says- and I think you owe an explanation to the american people. Why is it so? just had a news conference a little while ago, who was

essentially supposed to work with you and your family, but what he said damning and regardless of me, I think you have to clean it up and talk to the american people. Maybe you can do it right now in our Joe. You need to explain yourself why. Do you have these foreign entanglements any said several times, and we have no reason to believe this is the case that Biden personally profited from his sons, business dealings with something that Biden has consistently d, in the past and denied again in the debate this evening. But I agree with you that clearly was in both parties, seen by vice president as one of his worst moments in the first debate when he went after Hunter in an effort to just humiliate the former vice president and talk not just about Hunter binds overseas business dealings, but that his boughs with substance abuse about his discharge from the military and the way it was just seen, the even by people who are not going to vote for Joe Biden as just mean spirited and low.

and seem like there was at least some sensitivity tonight that you know, if you're going to try to smear Joe Biden on thin ethical tax, that there are limits even to what you can do, their crew, tunnel adamant oration we're gonna talk about immigration. Now, gentlemen, them to be returned and for the most part, remains pretty focused substantive policy discussion, like immigration, the United States can locate the parents of more than five hundred children. So how will these families ever be reunited. This to me is, may be one of the most interesting moments that we have seen from Joe Biden, not just in the debate, but in the entire roll action. There is just obviously massive Gulf separating the two candidates on the issue of immigration, where they start the issue of family separation at the border and the more than five hundred kids who were separated from their parents

government has still not been able to locate the parrots. This was something that most of the country recoiled from just horribly when this happened, and it is something that the president really had. No capacity to defend in the debates are what he did was. Let me ask firstly, they did it. We change the policy responses. We not a big rages. They attack the Obama administration record of border enforcement, which was at the time a whole lot more hard line. Then a lot of them

that certainly wanted, then, and certainly no hard line than would be acceptable in the party today, and that we here by do something that he is almost never done. As a presidential candidate, the Obama administration did fail to deliver immigration reform, which has been a key promised during the administration, had also presided over record deportations, as well as family detentions at the border, but fortunes in course. So why should voters trust you with an immigration overhaul now, because we made a mistake, made tenacity, long separate himself from Barrack Obama,

and he does it in a relatively subtle way. But he says: look the administration made a mistake and he says I'll be present United States, not vice president onstage and five will be the president of the United States, not vice president, which sure seems to suggest that he thinks that you would a handled things differently if he had had the top job during those eight years when he was the vice president and certainly that he would not approach the presidency in this one respect the same way Barack Obama did and he promises that he will and his first hundred days and legislation to the hill, proposed the pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, and what do you make of because he's not a democratic primary? He doesn't need to prove just how liberal he is on the question of immigration. He's running against our trump was quite hard line on em

actions, and why do you think Joe Biden chose to do that twelve days before the election? I think it's clearly an acknowledgement that the politics of immigration have changed enormously in the last aid that his own coalition, which depends heavily Martino voters and other immigrant groups in he states across the country would not tolerate the kind of mass deportation that went on during the Obama years. That the country as a whole is more sympathetic to read. Positively lenient or progressive immigration policies because of the backlash against the way President Trump has done,

One time Often these you need them and their proven rated and reviewed

when you need in demand talent on demand up work is how all right, let's talk about our next section, which is race in America, and I want to talk about the works in the second half of the debates periods rate subject of race- is explored in considerable, definite and filling liquor pretty revealing discussion. It was you know. We start out with this question from Chris Unwelcome asking the two candidates to speak directly, the country directly to people of color about what they see. And the country's crisis of racism and fully saying, Mr Vice President, in the next two minutes? I want you to speak directly to these families. Do you understand why these parents fear for their children and do or do we hear from Joe Biden, are prepared

The answer to the question- and I never had to tell my daughter if she's pulled over, make sure she puts for traffic, stop put both hands on top of the wheel and dont reach for the club box, because some may shoot you a conversation moves to President tramp and he delivers the you know the kind of budgetary answers that we have heard from him in the past. I am, I am the least, races person. I can't even see the audience because, if so dark, but I don't care who's in the audience at the least racist person in this room describes himself, as the president has done more black people in this country than any other president, with the exception of Abraham Lincoln possible exception, but the exception of Abraham Lincoln. Nobody has done what I've done. And when welcome pushes him to address his criticism of the black lives matter?

but the president basically reduces it to one scene that he claims to have encountered where protesters sort of laughter, bad impression on him, because they were chatting I police slogans. They were chanting pigs in a blanket talking about police pigs, pig started about our police pigs in a blanket fry em like bacon. I should that's a horrible thing, and rather than trying to match, widens empathy tries to attack, binds record and there is a bunch for him to work with when it comes to criminal justice. Any really takes bind task for the ninety ninety four crime bill when he did such harm to the black community. This is a bill that imposed, among other things, strict penalties for a whole range of offences, expanded the federal death penalty and what critics of the bill say led to

of mass incarceration and president really pushed Biden to account for that record. Now you have done nothing other than the crime bill, which put God that tens of thousands of black men mostly in jail, aright running. You know why I'm lonely advisers and I look at what is happening with the voting right now. Let me I remember, I treated them about very badly. They just take a look what's happening out the Vice President Biden. Let me give you a chance to respond. We only here Biden wrestle with this aspect of his record up to a point. We know that there are aspects of the crime bill that he remains very proud of, but he should focus away from those. He doesn't offer a wholesale.

Defence of the crime bill to talking about how the gaps in federal sentencing between different kinds of narcotics that clearly discriminate against people of color and black people in particular, that that was a mistake for Congress to have done, but he's kind of deflecting the core issue of the crime bill. But why didn't you get it and see? It's all talk, no action with these politicians. Why didn't you get it? that's what I'm going to do when I become president, you were vice president, along with Obama, as you present your later for eight years. Why didn't you get it done yet? Eight here's to get it done now, you're saying you're gonna get it done, because you're all talk and no actions. We got we're out of it, and this is a point in the debate where we see the president wheeled to some a fact The argument that you know if Joe Biden saw all these problems he should have dealt with them at some point in his long career in Washington, where the rest

it gives Biden. Something of an opening to get out of that trap is when he says: why didn't you do it in the eight years a short time ago? Why didn't you do you just that? I'm do that I'm going to do this and binds answer is better Republican Congress. We have had up you gotta tell commit to a Jew sire. I do that it took him into. This is clearly a detour that he doesn't want to spend a whole lot more more time on. What's the point, what do you make of these back and forth and the persistence of trumps keys, the job and didn't do enough when it came to Colonel Justice, reform and race, given that Joe Biden is pulling so far above the present, on the issue of how he would handle race relations, I think that there are the Germans. They are of an argument that might be effective against Joe Biden. If the press

were seen as more credible on these issues himself, that if the country broadly saw Donald Trump as somebody who was interested in racial equality or criminal justice reform or addressing brutality, then the notion that those were not priorities for Joe Biden for law phases of his career. You know would be, I think, a pretty fair criticism, but when you go directly from saying you know. Essentially, I dont care for black lives matter, because I saw this one protest where they were a coin police officers pigs to sang Mr Biden, if you see all this, has automatic. Why didn't you do something about it? It's a little head spent just doesn't quite jail The same way when its reform snapping back and forth, like German, How do we are running out of time, so we gotta get onto a climate change, please The conversation turns to the environment, into clean energy and out I was rather surprised. A bit by how much time Biden spent focused on

Clean energy, and by implication, vice President Biden, suggests, there's a problem with traditional sources of energy, climate change, climate warming, global warming is an existential threat, I think this is a real signal from Biden of his governing priorities and sense from him. Another Democrats and certainly hope that the politics of our energy and climate are really now on there side and that they here like it can be a big part of an economic recovery package because they do see it as a pathway to creating jobs and jobs. We're going to invest in, for example, five hundred thousand fifties actually be fifty and charging stations on our highways. So that we can only electric car market in the future, the mean China is doing we're going to be position where we're going to see to it that we're gonna take four million existing billion buildings and to me

and exists in homes and retrofit them, so they dont leak as much energy saving, hundreds of millions of barrels of oil in the process and creating a significant number of jobs and by the way it is also, at least in the short term, an opening for the president, to appeal to segments of his own base and perhaps to some folks in the political metal who are still weary of the idea of turning the page on fossil fuel When I closed the fall, would you closed their way out of a transition from their own history? Yes, We're trying to is a big statement. Then you heard the president litter really start listing off states with significant fossil fuel sectors, but that's the biggest there because there is only one day as he is going to rise early industry. Will you remember their Texas? We locate, member that Pennsylvania, Oklahoma. President Biden Lemme give you ten seconds rural than I am, and you ve had after the debate, the Biden campaign,

walk back or try to walk back some of what he said on oil that no is not trying to shut down. The oil industry is trying to take subsidies away from the oil industry, which is a pretty mainstream position, but yeah In the debate- and I do think realistically in the big picture, if your promising net zero emissions by twenty fifty- you are talking about why down the oil sector. So you know the bat on the democratic side. You know not just for Biden but broadly in the party is that there is a broad enough and intense enough recognition in the electorate of the gravity. climate change is a problem? And there is enough of a recognition of the economic benefits of a clean energy economy, add. More voters are gonna reward you for embracing that version of the future than will punish you, for it turning away from fossil fuel architecture eating out of context, but the point is stuck We have to move toward a net

Cyril emissions. The first place to do that by the year. Twenty thirty five is an energy production by twenty fifty I was gonna- do not we're finished with regard to get our line question we have ongoing join virus accord and make China by by what they agreed. This phone, like the most progressive version of. Oh Biden on the debate stage at least in general election and you ve pretty unapologetic, in the way he talked about energy. Immigration race, is that something? Perhaps you can only do when the polls show you're doing pretty well, Pennsylvania and even doing relatively well in Texas, in Ohio if you're Joe Biden I think we're going to find out. You know, Joe Biden has run a pretty low risk campaign as these things go. This is not a candidate who has sorted gone. Got a lot of really controversial policy in the EU

rule action, so you know I think he is taking these risks advisedly and look when you lose the coalition that he is piecing together. There is a risk if you dont speak too. Issues in a more a sort of way that being to communist on regulation? He badly needs our team voters in us. young latino, a voter interesting to show up on election day. He needs young people generally in Eads educate. Suburban? I too are really sensitive to the issue of the environment. Every election cycle to you're not just reject president tromp, but embrace something that he is selling, and you know the risk for and that it like Joe Biden, who is essentially running to be a safe harbour as an alternative to President Trump for the largest cross section of where's available to him is that if you do try to be all things to all people who ends up invested in you, and I do think we mourn him try and a couple import.

ways in that debate to correct for that possibility, gentlemen- and this first question- does go to you is it a trump imagine? This is your inauguration day. What will you say in your address who America to Americans who did not vote for you you'll each have one minute, starting with whom we have to make or country totally successful, as it was. I too the plague coming in from China now around back to the beginning of our conversation numbers by the end of this debate. It is short: what did you make of the president's decision or the place to not be the case It was of that first debate wasn't in any way effective in item Teresa race, in which he is the underdog you said and Joe Biden successfully make an affirmative case. That justifies is lead and makes it about him not about weaknesses of the president and moment you know the President,

approach- was clearly more constructive than what he did in the first debate. I think you have an enormous sigh of relief from Republicans as we speak that he did not just totally light himself on fire again. you know what, where I think, the president winds up after this debate is guess stylistic early. He was more restrained and more conventional for much, though not all of the debate, but that he was playing a pretty bad the hand in a somewhat more disappoint wet and he was delivering a message that most voters, up to this point, have not been persuaded by in a more fluent way, There are probably people out there who are more willing to listen to his message in this debate. Delivered in this way, then, in that first date when he was just all over the place, but that's a separate question from weather

anybody who's not already supporting the president is gonna like what they here. We are on the road to success, but I'm cutting taxes and he wants to raise everybody's taxes, and he wants to put new regulations on everything he will kill it if he gets in you we'll have a depression, the likes of which you ve never seen your forum. One can. we'll go to hell and it'll be a very, very sad day for this country. Are I Vice President Biden same question too on the Biden side of this look. I think did manage to make more of a case for himself than he did in the first debate. He did not win this debate just by default. The sort of snap poles after the debate suggest that more people liked what he had to say then the president, and in that respect he probably managed to keep the race in a pretty much within the parameters that it was already in, and I'm going to say. As I said at beginning, what is on the

out here is the character of this country, decency, honour respect, treating people with dignity, making sure that every I dont know that there was some big moment of breakthrough for Biden. Where will all back on this debate and say that the moment that he put it away, but he did have some moments that I think probably do speak to the electorate in a valuable way. We're a couple exchanges around the corona virus around what he hopes to do in the way of economic support to destroy, families and businesses that if Europe, order who is sitting at home and just worried sick about? What's going on right now, probably addressed

your concerns in a more direct way than a lot of stuff. You heard from the president and as much as I do think that Biden has needed to clear a certain bar in articulating what he will actually do for the country. The core political assumption of Joe Biden campaign is the country wants a leader who looks and act like a president, and he is that guy and president Tromp was not forgetting the last I want to. Thank you. Both are very robust hour and a half a fantastic debate really appreciate. President tramp former vice President Joe Biden Election day is November don't forget to vote.
