Tell your neighbors what the rules are. Then everyone will Pay Attention. A political soapbox former representatives john delaney death next on our political soapbox our political soapbox, former representatives john delaney. Mr. Delaney thank you. I love the iowa nice part. This is an iconic american experience. I did it last year. Similar setting, for crowd. I looked over to my left and i noticed a gentle man who i acognized, and he was wearing crist shirt and he was very tan and he was looking a cigarette, and i realized it was speaker john boehner. I looked at him and i said, mr. Speaker, nice to hear me talk. He said, delaney, i cant get away from politics. It speaks to what an amazing privilege you all have. Im so impressed how seriously you take it, because you do, to play such an Important Role in our democracy. If you didnt do what you did, which is to figure out what is not only in our head but what is wayur hearts, which by the is as important why do we want to be president of the United States . What is motivating us, is it about us or about you . I know the answer for me, it is about you. You figure that out. Thank you for having me. In about six months you have a very important choice to make, and export ma an extraordinarily important choice when you caucus and choose the democratic nominee for president of the United States. I think you have to ask yourself two questions when you do this. The first question is who can Donald Trumpbeat is the number one question democratic primary voters have to ask themselves. In my opinion can he is a reckless and lawless president and he needs to be retired in 2020. [cheers and applause] mr. Delaney what who can do that . Has ait is someone who real Economic Vision that all americans can get behind in terms of how we create a more prosperous future and actually do things to prepare our citizens for the world. It is a candidate who is running on Real Solutions, solutions that are workable, and we tell you how we are going to pay for them and we tell you how we are going to get them done, not impossible promises. That is the kind of candidate you need, someone who has got real ideas and can build the kind of Economic Future that we deserve and someone who can defend their positions and go toe to toe with the president of the United States. You need someone who can build a big tent where progressives, moderates, independents, and even disaffected republicans want to vote for that candidate, because that is how democrats won the 2018 house of representatives. We put up 40 great candidates who flipped republican districts to democratic districts. Two of them came from iowa. [applause] mr. Delaney the way i look at it, you did 5 of the work and you are only 1 of the violation. As always, iowa punched above its weight. But they are your model. They are common sense, problemsolving democrats who want to bring the country together. But the second question you need to ask yourself is who is going to be the next leader of the United States of america. Who will reestablish our role in the world and work with our allies and lead not only here but around the world . Who can bring people together and get things done . Weve spent decades talking about stuff and we havent been doing things. We need to build infrastructure, we need to be creating jobs in every town in this country, we need to fix a broken Healthcare System and lower pharmaceutical prices and deal with digital privacy. We need to get back in the transpacific partnership, which is something i commit to do in my first 20 days in office. If we were in that trade agreement today, which president obama was 100 right about, every acre of land in iowa would be worth more money, because every crop price would be higher. I cant look at farmers in the eye and say as your president , it will be better for you today i am elected the day i am elected. But we also need a president , lets face it, who will restore decency and honor and integrity to the most Sacred Office in the world, a president who will wake up every day and say i am not going to divide the American People. In fact, as part of my oath of office, i swear to never divide the American People, to do something in my power every single day to appeal to, as lincoln said, our better angels. I want to remind the American People that your enemy is not your fellow american. We are in this together. United we stand. As president , i will appeal to that every single day, and i will also stand up against hate and racism wherever it exists. [cheers and applause] mr. Delaney so i stand before you with great humility, because i believe im the right answer to those two questions. I am the person who can beat donald trump and im the person who can be the leader that this nation so desperately needs. I wouldnt be running for president on this i believe to that. About 10 years ago i wife, april, and i dedicated the rest of our life to public service. She is here with me. Thank you, april. For me it was an amazing moment. It was that moment in my life when i realized it is not about me. For all of us can that is the best day of our lives, when we realize it is not about me, it is that you, it is by doing anything i can to serve other human beings. Ice for to you that is my commitment. Maybe my journey i swear to you does my commitment. Maybe my journey has been different. I have lived the american dream, and im incredibly grateful for the magnificent opportunity this country has given to me. The opportunity to learn, to be the first in my family to go to college. The opportunity to build two businesses from scratch and create thousands of jobs as the entrepreneur in the private sector. The opportunity to be married to an amazing woman for 29 years 30 next week, sweetie. And have four terrific daughters. And most importantly, the opportunity to serve my country. I have lived the american dream. But the problem, it is much harder for young people today to live the life i have lived. Young people today will be the first generation of americans, first generation ever, not to do better than their parents. Think about that. Were leaving them debt they cannot repay, both fiscal debt and climate debt, because i believe it is an immortal debt were leaving them. I dont believe what young people need is more partisanship, more gridlock, or more rigid ideology. Havent we had enough of that . The American People need israel solutions. Some of my big ideas is Real Solutions. Some of my big ideas are more pragmatic because im trying to get them done, then i am all in. Maybe it was the way i was raised. My dad was a union electrician. So what that means is he wired buildings for a living. Strongest man i ever knew. He could twist a rusted bolt open with his bare hands. It was honorable work, it was honest work. He worked hard. It wasnt glamorous, he wasnt a glamorous sky. But when you do an honest days work, you get a building that works. You turn on a light switch, the lights go on. You turn on a faucet, the water goes out. That is the problem with our current president , he doesnt care if anything works. He only cares about himself. He doesnt want to build a building that works for the you to build a building that he can put his name on he doesnt want to build a building that works. He wants to build a building that he can put his name on. That is why his businesses went into bankruptcy and i am admired in the committee. And the only one running who is a leader in the private sector and public sector. He stiffed working people like my dad, literally stiffed them, where my companys were voted the best places to work. Ask farmers in iowa, is the economy working for you . How is the trade were doing . Asked 40 of iowans who cannot afford basic necessities like their rent and food and utilities. Think about that, in a country as wealthy as we are. That is why we need Real Solutions. I have big ideas, but every one of my ideas can get on. Im calling for universal health care were every american gets health care is a basic human right. But i also think the American People should have choices. If they want to keep their Union Health Care and Medicare Advantage or medicare supplementals, they ought to be able to. That is a common sense approach to improving our Health Care System. I want to rebuild our country. I called for the biggest Infrastructure Program since the creation of the federal highway system, because infrastructure creates jobs and improve the standard of living and it makes our businesses more competitive. And i can get it done, because i was a leader on a bipartisan effort in congress to do that. I have called for a way to dealing with the climate crisis, but part of it is a big bet on american innovations, which we can do. We have to resolve this problem not only here, but around the world. These are the kind of solutions i will put forth as her president your president. You know what is even deeper than these policy discussions is how terribly divided we are closer in many ways that is the central issue facing this country, which is why i believe the challenge that the next president has to step forward and address is how we resort a sense of common purpose to who we are as a people. How do we remind the American People that this notion that we are all in this together is worth fighting for everything will they of our lives every single day of our lives . In 1958, john f. Kennedy gave an american speech, and in it he said we should not seek the republican answer, we should not seek the democratic answer, we should seek the right answer. He went on to say that we cannot seek a fix blame for the problems of the past. We should own our responsibility for our future. Together as americans. Which is why we have got to do common sense things and get them done on gun safety. Action,u, moms demand for being here. Which is why we have got a fix our Health Care System, lower pharmaceutical prices, build infrastructure, and do all these things. But we have to do it together, and we need a president who understands we are not going to agree with each other on everything. We dont want to live in a country where we agree with each other on everything. What you deserve and your kids deserve and my kids deserve to live in a country where the things we dont agree with each other on our debated with the truth, with honor, and with respect. But you also deserve to live in a country where we also get some things done and we spent some time focusing on the things we agree with each other on. That is what i will do as president. I will restore this sense of common purpose to who we are as a nation. I will resort dignity and decency to the office of the presidency. I will work every day to bring the American People together and stand up against hate. And i will work tirelessly to find the Common Ground that we need on all of these big issues and get things done. When im done being president , i want to have a long list of accomplishments, and i dont care if i get any credit for it. As i said a few minutes ago, this is not about me. This is about you. Is about me being in service to you. I will work for you. What you want is a president who is going to solve your problems, help you pursue opportunities, dial down the noise, and restore dignity to this country and lead internationally. That is what im committed to do as your president. [applause] mr. Delaney i will close by saying how i think about this. I think our selling responsibility as a nation solemn responsibility as a nation and as leaders is to leave the world better than we found it. That is what our predecessors did, and we can do it too. This is a magnificent country, and dont let anyone tell you otherwise. We have every advantage any nation could possibly want to have in 2019, except for one. We are divided. It is a disease right now. Trumps the symptom of the disease, but we have to cure the disease. And we need a real leader to cure the disease, someone who understands the problem and really wants to fix it. Theone who is going to urge nation to adopt National Service to every Young American can serve their country in the military, god bless, and thank you to the people web server or community service, or rebuilding infrastructure, or being part of a climate accord. Can you imagine if a young person in reply what went down to new orleans to rebuild a levy and lived with a kid from seattle . They would realize that this notion of service is a privilege and would be instilled in them the rest of their lives. They would realize we have a lot more in common with each other than what divides us. They get the skills they need to help them make this next important decision in july. They can get huge amounts of scholarship and credits to afford college, but everyone of us would benefit because we would look at these young people and be proud of ourselves because we get something again and we would say that america is working again, we are working again because we can, and that is my commitment to you as president. And i want to thank you for having me. I would love your support. In six months, you have this important decision, do you want to send someone to the top of the ticket who can beat donald trump, do you want to send someone who can unify the station, and do you want to send someone to the white house who you can look at and say there is decency again in this Sacred Office, we are leading not only here but around the world, and america is back and americas working . God bless you all. Thank you for having me. Thank you for being here. Thank you for all you do for our democracy. And i think we have got five minutes, if anyone has a question. Lady,think this young your hand was up. We do voter education, very important to us. You commit to be transferred to voters by taking our test on positions . Mr. Delaney sure. Whats your name . Holly. Mr. Delaney all right, holly, but well see each other afterwards. Yes . [indiscernible] mr. Delaney hi, rachel. My question is [indiscernible] quality education. Mr. Delaney im so glad first, save the children is a Great Organization and it has great leadership. One of the problems of our discussion on education is it is overly focused on college, which is incredibly important, and not enough time spent on little ones. Investment in Early Childhood education is the best investment we making our kids by any measure. By any measure. As president , i commit to make brca universal and to make to make prek universal and to make 03 available to every young child. Poor kids in this country start kindergarten having heard a third of the words of other kids. They never catch up. The best investment we can make in them and in our society is to take these little ones, who in many ways are too little to fail, who people dont focus on as much because they dont vote, and make sure every young person in this country has access to Early Childhood and prek so they get to the s tar every one of them deserves. Thank you, said the children. Save the children. Yes, sir . [indiscernible] whats your name, sir . Ken has a great question. He shared with us thank you, ken, for sharing this that his wife has alzheimers, and he is a caregiver, and he is not reimbursed. 30 of the country are caregivers right now. They think that number will be 50 . I want to create compensation schemes so people can get paid for caregiving. People worried they will lose their jobs with technology, we will not lose jobs with technology. New ones will be created. Half our country will be caregivers. Thats a job. If you were to care for my mom and i were to care for your wife, we were to switch jobs, you would have to pay me and i would have to pay you. It is a job. We should have taxbased compensation structures for you. I also want to be the president who is going to cure alzheimers. We need a transformative investment in innovation. This is an important point, there has never been a better time to invest in basic research in the United States of america than today. You know why . Because we have tools that were never available to us, Computing Power and big data. The things that are changing our lives in so many ways are giving basic researchers tools that they never imagined. They can make breakthroughs in a day that used to take five years. We should be having massive investments at the basic Research Level in Life Sciences and in energy research, because we have to cure alzheimers, the most expensive disease in this country. We have to cure cancer. And we have to develop the technologies, battery, transmission, and carbon capture, that will save the planet. The United States of america is in a unique position to do that. We have the greatest entrepreneurs in the world, with the greatest universities in the world. What we are missing is a president who wants to invest in the future, in case, in solving in kids, in solving problems. I swear as president to give the biggest investment in research increase since the creation of the space program. Thank you, ken. Im going to go back lets go to this gentleman. [indiscernible] mr. Delaney most constructive criticism ive ever received in my life, and i will be honest with you i was born in a bluecollar family and the first in my family to go to college and i was the youngest ceo industry of been your stock exchange, i created two companies, ran for congress. I like doing things. Someone said to me that velocity is her greatest strength and greatest weakness. The nice thing is, ive been at this for two years so i have not rush into ithis. Ive been to all 99 of your counties. [cheers and applause] mr. Delaney come on, all 99 counties. The last person who did that was barack obama. [cheers and applause] mr. Delaney that is pretty good company. I make sure i took my time. My time is up and im sorry i didnt get to your question. I want to be respectful of des moines register. Thank you for having me. If you have questions, we can grab them offstage. Enjoy the fair, and take care, everyone. [applause] thank you so much. This is for you. I wanted to give you a yamulka. Yamulke. The Jewish Community is with you. Mr. Delaney thank you. God bless you, sir. [indiscernible] listen, the president as the biggest microphone in the world, the biggest loudspeaker in the world, the biggest bullet public. He should be using it to stand up against racism. He has not done it. He has used it to say racist things and provide a moral equivalency to White Supremacists and those who protest what to from sea. What else can you conclude protest White Supremacy. What else can you conclude . I conclude he loves the support of these groups and he is messaging to them all the time and that is enabling them. Joe biden said yesterday in iowa that poor kids are just as bright as white kids. Do you think that comment is racist . Mr. Delaney i dont think we should do these lenses on these discussions. I believe in the innate ability of everything every single human being. No matter where they are from, no matter the color of his skin, no matter their gender. I believe in the dignity of every human being and that every human being has tremendous progress evidential in their hearts and minds. I believe that kids born in low income situations have structural this advantages structural disadvantages. The Public Schools arent as wellfunded, the Health Care System isnt as wellfunded. The criminal Justice System conspires against them. Theres a disproportionate number of people of color living in poor communities in our country. That means these institutions which have a soft racial bias in them are conspiring against them. As president im going to fix that so every president has equal opportunity for the do you think these, seven are comments from him are part of a trend mr. Delaney i dont comment on the Vice President , i, unlike campaign commen ont my campaign. As a moderate voice, with four out of 10 the reds associating as10 candidates assisted as socialist mr. Delaney did you look at my healthcare plan, it is the greatest expansion of health care since medicare. It just happens to allow choices. If you think about my plan have the largest Infrastructure Program since the creation of a highway system. Ive called for a doubling of the earned income tax credit to be paid for by increasing the Capital Gains tax on wealthy individuals. These are extraordinary progressive advances in technology. They just have to be developed in a way that is workable, and i tell the American People how i will pay for it and how i will get it done. My solutions are more pragmatic to achieve progressive goals, then i am all in. I think most of these people will see the progressive instincts, but they will see the pragmatism. Which you have when you are in the private sector and create thousands of jobs and have to live in the real world. You have been in iowa for almost two years now and you are still in the low single digits. What do you need to do differently in the next couple of months to break through . Mr. Delaney so i am a big believer that when you think you are doing the right thing, you stick with it. I believe that by being a truth teller and talking about Real Solutions and how i can really help the lives of the American People and beat donald trump, that is what i like caucusgoers are going to look for. Iowa caucusgoers are going to look for. That is the only poll that matters. I truly believe in every thing i am saying and doing. I think what is going to help me im not going anywhere. I think this field is going to get smaller, and i will allow voters to start sorting it out. More more voters are dialing in everyday, and i tend to think the voters dialing in every day are changing the makeup of the democratic primary base and it starts coming my way. What kind [indiscernible] you are wrestling with right now . Mr. Delaney im wrestling with the press. [laughter] join tpp immediately . Why are so many of your challengers running away from it . Mr. Delaney you know, i was the point person on the house on it. I dont know, they are dead wrong. The problem with trade was not our position to be engaged in the global economy. The problem is we didnt do anything with the communities that would be hurt. Think globally but invest locally. We stopped doing the second half. I urged the obama in administration to pair tpp with trillion dollar infrastructure plan. But i think for iowa farmers and workers, for our ability to actually shape the world for good, we have to be engaged economically. Trade Promotion Authority that president obama got granted and President Trump still has expires 20 days into my presidency, and i will use it to get back into tpp, and people who dont support it and used to, that tells you everything you need to know about whether this is polltested politics or what do you plan to eat today at the fair . Mr. Delaney irony had a piece of brown sugar i already had a piece of brown sugarcovered bacon. That is a pretty good start. [indiscernible] White Supremacy issue, why did he stopped short of calling him may be a loaded question, but explain the difference. Mr. Delaney i think it is a distinction without a difference. Enabling White Supremacists, as i said earlier, what other conclusion can you come to done that he supports it for some reason . I dont know what the reason is. Does it matter . That is what im basically saying. So say it it. Delaney i said no, you didnt hesupports voice o is a white tsupr emacist mr. Delaney he supports White Supremacists. What else can you conclude . [indiscernible] wasnt answered theifically distinguish difference between enabling White Supremacy and being a white supremacist. Mr. Delaney i dont think there is any difference. I actually dont think there is any difference. I think it is awful. White supremacy and hate and nationalism and people who enable it are no different than those who practice it. That is what im saying. We have to end this scourge, and we need a new president to do it. [indiscernible] ive got a question mr. Delaney yes. I dont know if you know about the talking industry trucking industry. Mr. Delaney i do. Do you think the people at snpsa should hold mr. Delaney that is highly technical. Im not sure the people that operate that, there has not been a real truck driver over the road. I am a truck driver. At the end of this year, the lock devicenic mandate, by december do you think it is right for the federal government to be basically telling us truckers how we should be driving . Because now the computers are telling us when we can take our halfanhour breaks, when we can sleep mr. Delaney regular nations that hurtgulations Small Business owners, im not for those looking i dont know the specific im not for those. I dont know the specifics, but [indiscernible] regulations can be overly burdensome on Small Businesses. I would look further with the fmca, eld mandate, because right now it is really hard. At this point in time more truckers would be happy with an hourly wage at 35 an hour. Mr. Delaney i agree with that. But ime more than that losing my miles. Ive lost 100 miles a day. Mr. Delaney so what would a it put a cap on how many hours you can drive . Yes. 14hour period. Our 14 hours mr. Delaney so you are losing 3 hours a day . More than that. Mr. Delaney how many hours a week do you want to drive . I want to drive 11 but i do not want my 14 hours to do when i am at a receiver ora dock. Mr. Delaney what i do know is i dont want regulations to prevent hardworking americans from supporting families, unless there was a really, really good reason. I would have to look at the reason behind this because i would be dishonest with you if i but like i said, i think a lot of regulations hurt Small Businesses. Suret want to make hardworking americans support their families. I dont know the other side of this issue, so i cant give you an answer, but i promise you i will get back to you. Ok. Card. Laney heres a you follow up write down my name and number. Mr. Delaney what is your name . Jeremy walters. Mr. Delaney welters . Walters. How about my email . Jeremy. Thank you so much, jeremy. Mr. Delaney thank you. Going right over here. Low the generalman gentlemen i have a question for you. No problem. Ability of the federal government to remove patents from pharmaceutical companies that raise drug prices to exploit it rates . Would you support Something Like that . Mr. Delaney i think there is better ways. Like what . Mr. Delaney we need to allow governments to negotiate with Pharmaceutical Company and create a global price negotiation approach so everyone can negotiate together. [indiscernible] mr. Delaney i do, i absolutely do. You have been in iowa. This is your second state fair. Iowa make or break . Mr. Delaney for me it is, yeah. What will matter is how the caucus goes. How do you feel that message is starting to break through . Mr. Delaney i feel it is starting to break through. I was in rural iowa. Narrow the field will and more and more people are dialing in. I know you spent a lot of time talking about decency and returning back to the white house. What are your thoughts after this a lot of your rivals on the Democratic State have used supremacist for the sitting president of the United States. What is your description . Mr. Delaney my description is he uses the bully pulpit to divide the country and he says racist things from there and creates false equivalencies between those protesting racism and people encouraging racism. He is an enabler for the to me it is a distinction that he has he is an enabler. To meet is a distinction without a difference. Whether you describe is the centrist middle lane. Is that how you see yourself . Mr. Delaney i see myself as a problem solver. Income taxe earned credit. Ighway system i have pragmatic ways of getting it done. Accused in the debate by Elizabeth Warren of not being bold enough. Why would someone elected if you dont have these bold, big ideas . Mr. Delaney i dont know why someone running for president would put forth ideas that wont work. Putting someone on the moon by the end of the decade, someone on stage and said i wanted by next month, that would be a bolder idea. That is a response people give when they cannot defend their policies. When i say that we should definitely create universal , and they say it is republican talking point or you are not being bold enough, what i hear is somewhat not defending their position. Some of these positions they have are indefensible. Telling 80 of Medicare Beneficiaries who have some form of private insurance, they say that is illegal, and why do you think that is a good idea . They say that is a talking point. No, j cap are asked to bernie sanders,or jake tapper asked bernie sanders, are you going to raise taxes . You think someone with big ideas cannot win . Mr. Delaney a lot of these democrats could not get a through Congress Running on things that not even a majority of democrats support is not a formula for success in the federal election. It also tells me they are not common sense ideas. If a majority of democrats dont support these things come why is it a good policy idea . You worry about the direction the democratic policy is moving . Mr. Delaney yes. You cant beat donald trump green new deal, medicare for all . Mr. Delaney barack obama and bill clinton were bigtent democrat. They ran on ideas most could get behind, democrat, republican, or independent. Ran on ideas that people couldnt support. What separates you from the front runner right now . Mr. Delaney i have better ideas. Im not interested in moderation for the sake of moderation. Thatnterested in big ideas are pragmatic. I call myself a pragmatic idealist. On health care, climate, tax policy, i have pragmatic ideas. I think that is what differentiates me from the Vice President. What is the plan moving forward . Certainly not leaving the state fair. Mr. Delaney going to the wing ding now. I am all in on iowa. Caucus,t win the iowa that is not good for my campaign. As the field narrows you are confident you will be around in february . Mr. Delaney absolutely. I have been here two years, not going anywhere now. Congressman, thank you. Mr. Delaney thank you. Use a much. Thank you so much. [indiscernible] mr. Delaney absolute, every day of the week. Remember me . Support no first strike. Mr. Delaney thank you. [indiscernible] i want to ask a followup on what you said [indiscernible] really important. There are people dying every day because they dont have access to insulin plan for lowering drug prices in this country . Mr. Delaney sure i have. Youand international are saying an international [indiscernible] mr. Delaney i will get it a lot easier [indiscernible] to ban all also weapons assault weapons . Mr. Delaney defined by the legislative process. Are you willing to disarm all the people who protect you . Take away our Second Amendment rights . Mr. Delaney we had an assault weapons ban. And what happened . Happened. Ine couldnt get into the country because he had one arm. [indiscernible] mr. Delaney absolutely. [indiscernible] mr. Delaney plenty selfidentif y. [indiscernible] we will do a little walk and talk. Ok, got it. Ready . We great. You in apeople noticed big way for the first time in the last debate. Arguments,sive reasonable and moderation and being pragmatic. And it seems it is not what the Democratic Party why do you think it is [indiscernible] think we are in the middle of a socialmedia primary right now, the extreme views is what dominate. My view is that is going to temper, as it always does. Morere americans tune in, who dont Pay Attention to politics all the time, raising their families and working hard. As they tune in, they tend to be more problemsolving, lets get things done kind of folks. The electorate grows in my favor. Today,heard it here extreme language against the president and be extreme and all your views. Is that not a tempting thing for you to do to make progress . Mr. Delaney you always have to look yourself in the mirror and stay true to yourself. The one thing i am proud of is everything ive said in his campaign i believe. I have not wavered at all for my principles. The best day of peoples lives is when you realize it is not about you, it is about them. The label moderate mr. Delaney im fine with it. I dont think these labels mean much, to be honest with you. Im a different kind of democrat. A lot of the things i want to achieve our progressive but i have a relentlessly pragmatic approach to get things done. I believe in getting stuff done. Thate moment it seems joe biden is the modern one. Moderate one. Why dont you get behind him . Mr. Delaney i dont think he has new ideas. I think we need new ideas. Ive a better way to Fix Health Care than he does. I have a better way to fix Climate Change than he does. Last year, i know you know this, 80 of the Venture Capital in the United States was invested in 50 counties out of 3100. This is a nation of opportunity, not a nation of birthright. I have ways to create opportunities for young people. I have ways to address these problems that are better than the Vice President s. Our tone is a similar, but that matters. Nothing more powerful than ideas. Is there something about what the president had done in the last two years that you would say, thats good, keep that going . Mr. Delaney having conversations with north korea was not a terrible idea. You have got to meet with your enemies at the point of diplomacy. I have been the least critical democrat of what he has done with respect to north korea. Now, i worry he is going to cut a bad deal because he wants to end the korean war. But im very constructive on what he has done there. Very much. Te it [indiscernible] mr. Delaney selfie . Mind if i get one . Mr. Delaney not at all. I heard you say that private insurance, a lot of people enjoy it, but you know medicare is more comprehensive mr. Delaney i dont think it would be. I can barely make [indiscernible] mr. Delaney in my system you could take the Government Health care. But not everyone would be able to do that. Mr. Delaney sure they would. A basic Government Health care plan for free. And you can opt out of it. But why would you want private insurance if these private Insurance Companies are very mr. Delaney because the medicare for all bill takes the medicare rate that will cause [indiscernible] mr. Delaney you actually need private insurance so we need to john, we need to go left here. Mr. Delaney to keep hospitals of it, yes to keep hospitals open, yes, we do. The reason hospitals are closing in the country is because they are getting disproportionate medicare payments. It is basic hospital economics. What higher premiums and hired deductibles mr. Delaney but that is for them to decide. Under my Plan Everyone would get that for free. You think [indiscernible] mr. Delaney its an amazing city. You disagree that baltimore is ratfilled . Mr. Delaney its a great city. You think it is filled with corruption . Mr. Delaney for the fifth time, baltimore is a great city. You are asking the question in a poorly framed way. You think baltimore is infested with rats .
