Perfect gpa. Let me just say that when i was georges age, i did not have a perfect gpa. Whatever markable young man. We are so proud of him. That is the future. Give it up for your representative, frederica wilson. We have also got debbie, Debbie Wasserman schultz, and others in the house. [car horn honking] [laughs] you have got that horn honking good. [laughs] so, 10 days, miami. Importanttil the most election in our lifetime. But the good news is, you do not have to wait for november 3 to cast your ballots. You have got two ways to vote right now. Number one, you can vote early in person, right now through next sunday. Number two, you can vote from home with a mailin ballot. Do not wait. Put it in the mail today or drop it off at a dropbox location in miamidade county. And if you need more information, just go to iwil lvote. Com to find out where to early vote in person or to drop off your ballot. And if you have already voted, what do you need to do . Youve got to help your friends and family make a plan to vote. Because this election requires every single one of us. Dayswe do in these next 10 will matter for decades to come. Ow, i have sat in the oval office with both of the men who are running for president. They are very different people. Trump i knew he would not embrace my vision. I knew he was not going to continue my policies, but i did hope that, for the countrys sake, he would show at least a little bit of interest in taking the job seriously. That is not how it worked out. He has not shown any interest in doing the work or helping anybody except himself and his thends or treating presidency like a reality show,o give himself more attention and as we noted the other day, his tv ratings are down. [car horns honking] but, listen. The rest of us have to live with the consequences of what he has done. At least 220,000 americans are dead. More than 100,000 Small Businesses have closed. Half a million jobs are gone, right here in florida. Half a million jobs. And i understand the president is coming to florida today. Do you think he is hard at work, coming up with a plan to get us out of this mess . No fmr. Pres. Obama well, i do not know, because he has had a tough week. Everybody has been very unfair the donald trump this week. In his debate with joe on thursday night and by the way, i thought joe biden was unbelievable this week. [applause] [car horns honking] he was fantastic this week. Debate, trump was asked, what is your plan for the new phase of covid . Which is a pretty good question, considering that we just saw the highest number of cases spike up yesterday. So you would think he would be ready for a response. Said it wasntt his fault. He did not. Have one. He said it is now gone in a states, just as states are reaching record highs. He does not have a plan, he does not know the reality of what is taking place across the country. And it gets better, because on 60 minutes, he was asked, what is your priority in your second term . Runlet me just say, i have for president , miami, so it is a good idea to have an answer to this question. It is a good idea, if you are running for reelection, to say here is what i want to accomplish. What does trump say . He got mad and walked out of the interview. He thought the questions were too tough. Too tough cannotlisten, if he answer a question like, what would you like to do in your second term, then it is our job to make sure he does not get a second term, and that is why, over the next 10 days, we have got to work hard to elect joe biden and Kamala Harris the next president and Vice President of the United States. [applause] [car horns honking] [laughs] love i love the creative honking. It is fantastic. Now, listen, you delivered twice for me, florida, and now i am asking you to deliver for joe and deliver for kamala. [car horns honking] 12 years ago, when i chose the Vice President , i did not know joe that well. We served in the senate together, but we come from different places, we are part of different generations, but i quickly became to admire and love joe as a man, who early on learned to treat everybody with dignity and respect. Somebody who lives by the words his parents taught him nobody is better than you, joe. You are better than nobody. In that sense of empathy, that sense of decency, the belief Single Person counts, that is who joe is. That is who he will be. And i can tell you, the presidency does not change who you are, it just reveals who you are, it amplifies who you are. And for eight years, i saw joe up close. He was the last one in the room whenever i faced a big decision. He made me a better president. He has got the character and experience to make us a better kamala ared he and going to be in the fight not for themselves but for every single one of us. And that is what you need right now. Somebody who cares about you and is thinking about you. Understand that the president he wants full credit for the economy that he inherited and zero blame for the pandemic that he ignored. [car horns honking] ule, this is not a person who likes to take responsibility for anything. But, you know, the job does not work that way. Said,like george tweeting on television does not fix things. inventing conspiracies dont make peoples lives better. You have got to have a plan. You have got to do the work. And along with the experience of getting things done, joe biden has concrete plans and policies that are going to turn our vision of a better, fairer, stronger country into a reality. We literally left this white house a pandemic playbook that showed them how to respond before a virus reached our shores. Lost along with the Republican Health care plan. We cant find it. [car horns honking] pandemicths into this eight months into this pandemic, new cases are breaking records. Donald trump is not going to suddenly protect all of us he cant even take the basic steps to protect himself sense that he is coming up with a new approach from a new plan. He does not even acknowledge that there is a ne problem. Just this week he complained that the pandemic was making him go back to work. If he had been working in the first place, we would have never seen the situation get this bad [car horns honking] listen, i have said this before. I am going to say it again. [applause] [laughs] this pandemic what have been tough for any president , because we have not seen Something Like this in 100 years. Somehow thisthat white house has done anything but completely screw this thing up is nonsense we can compare what happened in other countries to what happened in this one. So south korea identified its first case at the same time as the u. S. Got its first case. Ir per capita threshold how many people died out of 100 people, their goal is 1. 3 of what ours is. Nowhere near the number of ,eople have died in south korea because their government took care of business. Their to home, canada, is 39 of death rate what ours is. Their government, faced with a difficult situation, same pandemic, they said, lets take the steps to minimize the damage and the harms ordinary people,. Nd they saved lives so we can compare directly what happened in the United States and what happened somewhere else. What happens when a government is paying attention, and what happens when a government is not . And earlier this week, when the president was asked, would you do anything different . Anything . Much. , not not much . i mean, he could not even acknowledge that maybe we should have taken steps, earlier steps, Start Testing people. Maybe we shouldve taken more seriously and not pretended like it did not exist. Maybe we should have had the president not get on television and say if you put some bleach clean thingsight up. [car horns honking] just maybe, that might have made a difference. Be the mismanagement would comical and ridiculous if it did not mean people losing lives. Economyd not mean the not recovering, and the pandemic has sent africanamericans and anybody inder than florida. I bet you can think of a few things you would have liked to have seen the government do differently. So just a baseline is that joe and kamala take this seriously. Joe understands how much it hurts for grandparents to not be able to see their grandkids or hug each other. They understand that you cant effectively get the economy moving again as long as people are afraid of getting a disease. He is not going to screw up testing. He is not going to call scientists idiots. He is not going to host a super spreader event at the white house, the way this current president did [car horns honking] gonna get this pandemic under control with a plan that makes testing free and widely available, which we should have been doing months ago. He is going to get a vaccine to every american, costfree, and he is going to make sure that our frontline heroes never have to ask other countries for the equipment that they need to keep themselves safe while they are taking care of us. [car horns honking] this plan will guarantee paid sick leave for workers and parents affected by the pandemic, and he is going to make sure that the Small Businesses that hold our communities together and employ millions of americans cannot reopen safely. Now, donald trump likes to claim he built this economy. Some people actually give him credit for it listen, america traded 1. 5 million more jobs in the last year of the Obamabiden Administration than in the first ehree years of the trumppenc administration. [car horns honking] unemployment was steadily going down during the obamabiden presidency, and then he gets elected, and it keeps on going down, and he says, look what i did. Their first three years fell short of our last three, and that was before he could blame the pandemic. He did inherit the longest streak of job growth in history, but just like Everything Else he inherited, he fumbled it. That economic damage he inflicted bypassing the Pandemic Response means donald trump will be the first president since Herbert Hoover to actually lose jobs. Loves talking he about black unemployment, says he is the best president for black folks since abe lincoln. [crowd jeering] listen. Isten, black on employment hit almost 17 during the Great Recession 10 years ago, and through a lot of hard work, joe and i got it to 7. 8 before we left office, and it cap going down, like all the unemployment rates cap going down. Not because donald trump did anything. This year, it went way up, back to 17 right here in florida. And he has not had an answer for it. The only people truly better off than they were four years ago are the people who got the trump tax cuts. [car horns honking] and meanwhile, meanwhile, he will not even extend relief to the millions of families who cannot pay the rent or. Put food on the table during this pandemic. And the fact that he cant make that happen, that he wont make that happen, it is hard to understand. It is not like it is his money. He barely pays income taxes. [car horns honking] had no problem paying a ton of money in taxes to china, from his secret chinese bank account. Hold up a second. Let me just see a show of hands. Haveany people here secret chinese Bank Accounts . [laughter] [applause] got a secret chinese bank account . He only paid 750 in federal income tax. Secretaries, you have got construction workers, you have got healthcare workers, nurses, who pay a lot more in an that. Axes the [car horns honking] not saying that i i am just so happy about all the taxes i am paying, but you know, i pay more than . 40 on every dollar that i earn. So does michelle. Becauseo it proudly, what i know is this country has i want to, and that make sure that folks like george can get a scholarship to go to college. I want to make sure that a senior is properly taken care of. I want to make sure that we are repairing roads and bridges and helping folks who need help, and that our veterans are getting the disability rights that they have earned. To contribute and to get back, because i believe we are all in this together as americans, as one american family. [car horns honking] apparently that is not how this man thinks. He thinks that is for suckers, i guess. But, you know what . That is not how we built this country. We built this country by looking out for one another and believing in one another. And that is what joe biden believes. Jill biden has got a plan to create 10 million good jobs in the energy sector, in the clean energy sector, right here in america, and it is out of his plan to protect florida from Climate Change and secure environmental justice, and he will pay for it by rolling back trumps tax cuts for billionaires. Sees this as a moment not t as a chance to get back to where we were but to make some long overdue changes so that our economy makes life a little easier for everybody, for the waitress raising kids on her own, for the children figuring out how to pay for next semesters classes, for the ship worker who is worried about getting laid off, for the cancer survivor, who is worried that her preexisting protections will be taken away. [car horns honking] lets talk about health care for a second, because i know that george and i share something. We lost our mothers at a way to early age. Say, right love to before an election, that they will protect your preexisting conditions. Now, listen, joe and i actually protected them, 10 years ago, with the Affordable Care act. [car horns honking] anybodyde sure that with a preexisting condition could get Health Insurance. It protected everybody. It protected folks who already had Health Insurance. It protected folks might have to buy Health Insurance in the future. Hispanics the biggest gains in coverage of anybody. Almost 93 of hispanic kids got covered, an alltime high. And yet under this administration, hispanic kids have lost coverage. [car horns honking] and throughout this process, when we were getting folks health care, republicans fought us every step of the way. To repeal or undermine the Affordable Care act, or obamacare, more than 60 times. And when they are asked about it, they say well, look, we are going to have a great replacement. It is coming. It is going to be there in two weeks. It has been 10 years now. Every two weeks, they say they have got a replacement, and they havent come up with nothing. [car horns honking] they have never had a replacement. I promise you, i have asked. Wasked back when i president. I said, show me your replacement, and we can talk. Zilch, nada, zero, goose egg. [car horns honking] the reason they do not show you their plan to actually provide people protections when it comes to preexisting conditions, because they do not have one, and they never have. And that is just a fact. And instead of just fessin up that they dont want people to have Health Insurance, they have attacked the Affordable Care at every turn. They have drove up cost, they are driving out the uninsured, now they are trying to get the Supreme Court to take away your health care as we speak. In the middle of a pandemic with nothing but empty promises to take its place. Why would you want to take peoples Health Insurance just at the very moment when people need Health Insurance the most . What is the rationale of that . And think about what that would do to families right here. Miamidade has the highest enrollment of any county inflow over. Highesthas the enrollment in any state in america. Stake ins a bigger making sure those protections remain in place than right here. President trump said he hopes the Supreme Court takes the percussion your protections awa. Miami, joe and kamala will expand medicare, medicaid, and make insurance more affordable for everybody. That is what they stand for, and that is what you have got to get out there and vote [car horns honking] joe understands that the first job of a president is to keep us safe from all threats domestic, foreign, and microscopic. When the daily Intelligence Briefings are flashing warning lights about the virus, the president cannot be awol. When russia puts bounties on the heads of our great soldiers in afghanistan, the commanderinchief cannot be m. I. A. K cannot be somebody who does not read the briefings. Joe biden would never call the men and women of our military suckers and losers. Arenows those troops somebodies husbands, somebodies ,ife, somebodys spouse somebodys father. Hurricanehe devastates puerto rico, a president is supposed to towels, not toss paper withhold billions of dollars in aid until just before the election. We have got a president to actually suggested selling puerto rico believe it or not, it could have been worse. Our nationald Security Officials if he could nuke hurricanes. I mean, at least he did not do that. A Nuclear Hurricane seems like it would have been bad . I mean, it would be funny if it wasnt. Some of the rhetoric you are hearing down here in south florida, it is just made up. It is just nonsense. Listening to the republicans morehat bank joe was communist than castro. Dont fall for that. A socialist. Not he was a senator from delaware. He was my Vice President. I think folks would know if he was a secret socialist by now. What is true is he will stand up for ordinary people. What is true is he will stand up for workers. What is true is he will stand up for eight higher minimum wage. What is true is he will stand up for affordable housing. What is true is he will go promote human rights, in cuba and around the world, and he wont coddle dictators the way our current president does. [applause] and let me tell you something , Joe Bidenjoe Biden is tough. Youknow, something that cant really say about this president he likes to act thinksnd talk tough he is beingnd being mean tough, but when 60 minutes is tough for you, you aint all that tough. If you have got to walk out of a 60 minutes interview, then you are never going to stand up to a dictator. If you spend all the time complaining about how mean reporters are to you, you are not going to stand up to putin. Biden will restore our better standing in the world, because he nos knows that our true strength comes from being a people want to follow, that can inspire and mobilize others on issues like Climate Change, poverty, terrorism, and disease. Heres another thing, with joe and kamala at the helm, you will not have to think about them every single day. Might be a whole day where they wont be on tv. There might be a whole day where they dont tweet some craziness. You dont have to argue about them every day. It wont be so exhausting. Just having a normal president. You will be able to go back to your lives, knowing that the president is not going to suggest injecting bleach or retweet conspiracy theories thet secret cabals running world or retweaking the claim that navy seals did not actually kill bin laden. Have anot going to president that goes out of his way to insult anybody who he does not think it nice enough to him. We will not have a president who threatens people with jail for just criticizing him. That is not normal behavior, florida. You would not tolerate it from a coworker. You would not tolerate it from a high school principal. You would not tolerate it from a coach. You would not tolerate it from a family member. Man would not even do this stuff. [laughter] theare we accepting it from president of the United States . It is not it is not normal behavior. You shake your head, and you think, well, that is just him, but there are consequences to this. There are consequences when a president behaves that way. It emboldens others to be mean and cruel and divisive and racist. Who you have a president event call out or criticize white supremacists, that is a problem. That sends a bad message. Yeah the pres. Obama it frays fabric of all of our lives. It affects the way our children see things. It affects the way that our families get along. It affects the way the world looks at america. Meantime, it distracts us from the truly destructive action that the cronies he has placed all across the government are taking, actions that are affecting your lives every single day, even when it is not reported on, even when you are not paying attention to it. The Environmental Protection agency, that is supposed to protect our air and water, that is being run by now by an energy lobbyist. The Labor Department that is supposed to protect workers right now is run by a corporate lobbyist who has declared war protectionsguts to keep essential folks safe during a pandemic, makes it easier for corporations to shortchange them on their wages. The interior Department Come that is supposed to protect our public lands and wild spaces and wildlife for future generations, right now is run by Oil Lobbyists who want to auction off americas treasure to the highest bidder. The Education Department that is supposed to give every young kid a chance, amazing people like george, right now is run by a ,illionaire gutting the rules stiff arms students looking for long relief in the middle of an economic collapse. The person who is running medicaid right now is not trying to sign up old people for medicaid to help them out. They are trying to kick them off of medicaid. Got to fend have for themselves at the very moment that they need protection the most. Ands the thing, when joe kamala are in charge, they are not going to surround themselves theyhacks and lobbyists, are going to surround themselves with qualified public servants, who actually care about working for you, who are going to work hard to make sure that you have got a job that pays a living wage and that your family gets protected and that your health is protected, and you have got some security, and they are protecting our planet. And that, more than anything, is what separates them from their opponent. They actually care about every american, even the ones who are not going to be voting for them. And they are going to be in the fight on your behalf every single day. And they about you, care about our democracy, deeply. They believe that, in a democracy, the right to vote is sacred. Making itnot be harder for people to vote. We should not be asking people to wait 10 hours to vote, to stand in line. We should be making it easy for everybody to cast their ballots. Joe and kamala believe that no one, especially the president , is above the law. They understand a protest is not unamerican, our country was founded on protests against injustice. And they understand we do not threaten to throw our political opponents in jail just because we disagree with them we do not call them unamerican just because they are another political party. Understand our ability to solve the problems like the pandemic depends on more than photo ops. It depends on more than spin or making stuff up. It depends on logic and facts. These are not republican or democratic values. These are American Values. These are what we learned from our parents or grandparents. They are not black or asian or native american or white values. They are American Values. Readve to reclaim that you we cant say, oh, its fine if a president lies 50 times a day. No. Mother would will me if i would lie once a day, once a mek my mother would whoop if i would like once a day, once a week. These are American Values we have to reclaim and in order to do that, you have to turn out like never before. We have to leave no doubt. We cant be complacent. We cant sit back and we for somebody else to do it. Its on us. This moment, at we all have to do our part. There arend why americans who get frustrated by government, who sometimes feel it does not make enough of a different. I was i difference. I am the first one to admit government will not solve every problem. Government is not perfect. Right now isthat somewhat divided, you know, there will be times when we do not get everything we want even when we have folks in power that support what we care about. Ive got experienced firsthand, watching House Republicans in Congress Abuse the rules to make it easy for special interests to ruin progress. But just because government is not perfect does not mean we cant make it better. And we sure can stop it from getting worse. A president i himself cannot he likeery challenge himself cannot solve every challenge of the global economy, but if we elect a house and senate, focus on the people, getting you the help you need, it can make a difference. A president by himself cannot eliminate all racial bias in our terminal justice system, but if we elect joe biden in Kamala Harris and also and Kamala Harris and local district attorneys and states attorneys, we can make things better. About. What voting is not making things perfect. Making things better. Putting us on track. Getting the ball rolling. So we can look years back and say, that that years from now, say, that is the moment we turned the corner. That is the moment when we once again began to move together to create a Better Future for our children and our grandchildren. But its got a start now. Voting is about using the power we have an pulling it together to get a government that is more concerned, more responsive, more , and if we dont get 100 , we get 50 of what we want, then we keep on going, we vote some more and we get more done and thats a progress is made. When i hear folks say, voting does that make a difference, listen. Close toever come seeing what it would be like if everybody actually voted. Highest that was the vote totals in recent elections, and modern residential history. When i was running. We had the highest voting rates we have seen. How many people out of the eligible folks who could vote voted . 61 . That was the highest. That means 79 of folks who were eligible to vote did not vote. Voted. If 65 of people imagine if 70 of people voted. The people intend not to vote let folks and brown import folks and young folks and women imagine if all those votes actually turned out to vote, and january 20, when we swear in a president and a Vice President who have a plan to get a plan toho have protect this planet for our kids, who care about working americans, a president and vice racialnt who believe in equality, to bring us closer to the idea that it does not matter what you look like a review come look like or where you come from, you can still make it if you try. All that is possible. All of that is within our reach. All of those times over the last four years we have seen our worst impulses revealed, we have also seen what is best in our country. People ask me, how are you putting up with watching your successor do all of this stuff . Yeah, thats frustrating. I dont watch a lot of tv. Folks of every age and background pack city centers and town squares just so families would not be separated, or just so another classroom would not get shot up, or just so we can make sure our kids do not grow up we have seen amazing essential workers in healthcare workers risk their lives day in and day out to help somebody, to save somebody elses loved ones. We have seen people contribute and volunteer. For those who are especially having a difficult time right now. We have seen americans of all joining together to declare in the face of injustice and brutality that black lives matter. Less. E, but no to proclaim that no child in this country should ever feel the continuing staying of racism sting of racism. Seen young people like george, who introduced me, say, do we not breathe the same air . Do we not deserve the safety . That is true in miami. Thats true across the country. I know this has been a tough and time, butdiscouraging i am here to report to you america is a good and decent place. Nonsense,en so much sometimes its hard to remember. I have been all across this country. There are a lot of good people here. Whoe are a lot of folks share the values of looking out for one another, of doing right by one another. And weve just got to make sure our politics reflect that. And we do that by voting. I am asking you to remember what this country can be. Joeasking you to believe in ability joes ability and kamalas ability to build back better. We cant abandon the people who are hurting right now. We cant badly kids are not getting the education they need right now. We cannot abandon those protesters. We cant just talk. We cant just imagine a Better Future. We got to get out there and fight. Weve got to vote like never before, and weve got to leave no doubt. Make a plan right now for how you are getting involved. Do it as early as you can. Friends howmily and to vote. Do not stop with joe and kamala. Go all the way down the ticket. If we vote up and down the ticket like never before, we will elect joe biden and Kamala Harris, and we believe no doubt about what this country we love stands for and what we believe ,n and who we are as a people so lets get to work, florida. I love you, miami. Honkif you are fired up if you are fired up. Honk if you are ready to go. Are you fired up . Are you ready to go . Are you fired up . Are you ready to go . Lets make this happen.
