00:00Joe, you talked about working with Republicans and getting things done.
00:21But you know what you also got done, and I say this as a good friend.
00:24You got the disastrous war in Iraq done.
00:28You got a bankruptcy bill which is hurting middle class families all over this country.
00:33You got trade agreements like NAFTA and PNTR with China done, which have cost us four million
00:39jobs.
00:46My plan would do that.
00:47Your plan would not.
00:48They do not have to buy in.
00:49They do not have to buy in.
00:51You just said that.
00:52You just said that two minutes ago.
00:53You just said two minutes ago that they would have to buy in.
00:56You said they would have to buy in.
00:58They would not have to buy in.
00:59If you qualify for Medicaid, you don't have to be in for it.
01:00Are you forgetting what you said two minutes ago?
01:01Are you forgetting already what you said just two minutes ago?
01:13We would not build walls.
01:14We would not put kids in cages.
01:16In fact, we would spare no expense to reunite the families that have been separated already.
01:23And we would not let you prosecute any family because you are calling for the repeal of
01:27Section 1325.
01:28Secretary, let him finish.
01:29Secretary, let him finish.
01:30Let him finish.
01:31Let him finish.
01:32Let him finish.
01:33Let's be very clear.
01:35The reason that they're separating these little children from their families is that they're
01:39using Section 1325 of that act, which criminalizes coming across the border, to incarcerate the
01:45parents and then separate them.
01:48Some of us on this stage have called to end that section, to terminate it.
01:52Some, like Congressman O'Rourke, have not.
02:01We've taken so many steps toward police accountability that the FOP just denounced me for too much
02:06accountability.
02:07We're obviously not there yet.
02:08And I accept responsibility for that because I'm in charge.
02:09If the camera wasn't on and that was the policy, you should fire the chief.
02:14So under Indiana law, this will be investigated, and there will be accountability for the officer
02:19involved.
02:20But you're the mayor.
02:21You should fire the chief if that's the policy and someone died.
02:22All of these issues are extremely important.
02:31In this campaign, we've also heard, and I'm going to now direct this at Vice President
02:35Biden, I do not believe you are a racist.
02:40And I agree with you when you commit yourself to the importance of finding common ground.
02:47But I also believe, and it's personal, and it was hurtful to hear you talk about the
02:55reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on
03:02the segregation of race in this country.
