Mr. Biden hello, minnesota. Jessica, thank you for being here and sharing your story. Unfortunately, some of the other americans have stories like you, faced with health problems, fighting for their lives and forced to think not only about facing the battle but how they can afford the treatment. While Insurance Companies come in at the most vulnerable moments for you and your family members. I remember when my son beau was lying in the hospital after he came home from iraq after a year. He had stage iv glioblastoma. They would not tell him how long live but if he would live. As he laid there fighting for his life, fighting to hang on, i thought to myself what would it be like if my Insurance Company, his Insurance Company said you have run out of coverage. Times up. You are on your own. Well folks, its a question no one should have to face in america. That is why i fought so hard and why obamacare was such a big thing. It is unconscionable. [honking] its unconscionable donald trump, from the day he got elected to right now, he is fighting in court to rip that peace of mind away from tens of millions of americans. But we are not going to let him do it. We are never going back to those days. [honking] you are going to vote. And we are going to win, for you, jessica, and your family. I promise you i will protect your family as if it were my own. [honking] i want to thank all the speakers you heard earlier. Your governor, leading minnesota with decency and integrity. One of the outstanding members of congress, lets send her back to the house of representatives. We need her badly. [honking] and your incredible junior senator, tina smith she has got to go back. [honking] and look, lets win back the Minnesota State senate while we are at it. [honking] one of the nations finest leaders is a dear friend, ive been honored to stand alongside and fight together for a long time, senator amy klobuchar. Amy, i love you. Thank you. [honking] yesterday in florida, i had a chance to spend a little more time with another minnesota icon, carl anthony towns. Boy, he can play, man. You know him as the heart and soul of the timberwolves, but hes also a son, who like many other americans lost his mom to covid19 a couple of months ago. For all those sons and daughters, those parents, siblings, husbands, and wives facing empty chairs at dining room tables, all of those who reach over at night to say good night to their husband or wife, they deserve so much better. These guys are not very polite, but they are like trump. [honking] look, they are going to be ok. We are going to take care of them as well. We need to come together and we need to fight for all these folks. We have four days left to get it done. Four days. Millions of americans already voting. Millions more will vote by tuesday. And i believe when you use your power, the power to vote, it will change the course of this country in the course of history. Right here in minnesota, with all of you, in the final days, keep that sense of empowerment. Keep that sense of empowerment, that sense of optimism so we can overcome. Look, theres a reason they dont want to hear me. They know the president doesnt say anything, so they are not used to not hearing anything. [honking] i know its hard, folks. More than 228,000 i believe americans have died because of covid19. Nearly 2500 here in minnesota, gone. We have 9 million new cases nationwide. Millions of americans are out of work. On the edge, they cant see any light, they dont know where its going, and donald trump has simply given up. Over the weekend, white house counsel, chief of staff, he said the following we are not going to control the pandemic. At the debate last week, donald trump turned to me and said we are rounding the corner, its going away. We are learning to live with it. I told him, hes asking us to learn to die with it. We are not going to. [honking] did you hear what he said today . What he said today on the trail, he said our doctors, our doctors, our first responders, over a thousand lost their lives, are putting their lives on the line, busting their next, he saidg their necks, they are making up deaths from covid because they get more money. The president of the United States is accusing the medical profession of making up covid deaths so they make more money. Doctors and nurses go to work every day to save lives. They do their jobs. Donald trump should stop attacking them and do his job. [honking] folks, this is the same man who weeks ago, when he was told we are losing a thousand lives a day, do you remember what he said . He said it is what it is. Thats thoughtful. It is what it is because he is who he is. Donald trump has waved the white flag and surrendered to this virus. But the American People dont give up. They dont cower. And neither will i. Remember when he did that interview and told bob woodward that he knew about the virus and how deadly it was at the end of january but didnt tell anybody. He didnt tell those folks. He didnt tell anybody. And woodward asked him why. Tape, he said he didnt want to panic the American People. The American People dont panic. Donald trump panicked. [honking] unlike donald trump, we will not surrender to this virus. Look, President Trump is spreading division and discord. He thinks he can divide us. We wont notice his failures. Thats what its all about. Thats why he shamelessly equates somali refugees, folks seeking a better life in america contributing to the state of our country with terrorists as he did last night. We need a president who will bring us together, not pull us apart. I will deal with this pandemic responsibly, bringing the country together around testing, tracing. Masking. Its estimated by the leading doctors in this country that if we just wore a mask for the next few months, we would save over 100,000 lives of the over 200,000 lives we expect to lose. Dr. Fauci called for a mask mandate last week. This is not a political Statement Like those ugly folks over there beeping the horns. This is a patriotic duty, for god sake. [honking] look, in his own words, as i said, the president knew back in january how extremely dangerous and communicable this disease was. He went on and made that tape, he said the disease was easily able to spread, but he did nothing. He did nothing at all. Look, folks, American People are tough. Instead of talking and politicizing the vaccine, he should be planning for a safe, equitable and free distribution of a vaccine when it comes next year. [honking] this guy refuses to provide schools and Small Businesses the resources and the National Standard to open safely. The house of representatives assed the money to allow schools to open safely, businesses to open safely to make sure people are paid. Ladies and gentlemen, we will bring republicans and democrats together to bring Economic Relief for working families, schools and businesses. As i said before, im not going to shut down the economy. Im going to shut down the virus. [honking] donald trump inherited a Strong Economy that barack and i gave him. But guess what . Like Everything Else he inherited, he squandered it. Like everything he has inherited. But we can build back and we can build back better with an economy that rewards work, not wealth. We can do it without raising taxes on the middle class and working families. I promise you, you have my word, if you make less than 400,000 a year, you wont pay a penny more in taxes. [honking] but i tell you what, for the first time in a long time, the wealthiest and biggest corporations are going to start paying their fair share. 91 out of the fortune 500 companies paid zero in taxes last year. Why . Hearing that guy blowing his horn, why should he pay, why should a nurse pay higher tax rates than the super wealthy . Why should you pay more taxes than donald trump pays . [honking] he has exploited every loophole and tax code, he has run a shell game to avoid paying taxes. If you notice, i released 22 years of my tax returns. Hes not released one single year. What is he hiding . Wheres the corruption . According to trump, the reason why he only paid 750 is because he is smart. What does that make the rest of us who pay our fair share, mr. President . We are going to deliver tax relief for working families, help you pay for your first home, help you pay for Health Care Premiums or childcare or care for your aging parents or be able to actually pay for school. Trump got a Supreme Court justice first time it has ever happened while an election has already started for one reason. He has he is determined to do what he has been trying to do for four years, destroy the Affordable Care act. If they get their way, 100 million americans will lose their protections for preexisting conditions. Complications for covid19 will be the next preexisting condition, allowing insurers to jack up your premiums or deny your coverage. And we will again be able to be charged more for the same Health Care Just because they are a woman. Donald trump thinks health care is a privilege. I think it is your right. [honking] and if you all get out and vote, we will not only restore obamacare, we will expand it and build on it. You can keep your insurance if you like or choose a medicarelike option, a public option. We will increase subsidies, lower your premiums and deductibles, outofpocket spending, reduced costs by 60 by allowing medicare to negotiate with drug prices. [honking] we will keep protections for people with preexisting conditions. We will protect Social Security and medicare. Meanwhile, the Social Security actuary said if donald trump says elect me again and im going to change Social Security. The actuary said the changes he puts in place occur, Social Security would be bankrupt in 2023. So go home and tell your parents and grandparents what trump is about to do. I will protect Social Security, medicare and medicaid. [honking] folks, nothing is worse that this president has done in the way he talks about those who serve in uniform. He called them losers and suckers. My son beau gave up the attorney generals seat in the state of delaware to volunteer to go to i raq for a year. He won the bronze star, the distinguished service medal. He wasnt a loser or sucker. He was a patriot. [honking] so many of you as well. No wonder the six generals who worked directly for the Trump Administration have left and says he does not deserve to be the commanderinchief of the United States. That has never happened to any president before. [honking] thats why special Operations Commander stanley mcchrystal, Navy Seal Commander admiral along with 24 stars endorsed me because they trust me. [honking] and thats why the military times reported more troops vote for biden than trump. Thats why we have to support the military. They are the backbone of the country. Let them vote and vote for them. When donald trump failed to condemn white supremacy, we can deliver on racial justice. Seeing protesters across the nation, the life and dignity and george floyd killed seven miles from here and so many others that mattered. Protesting, burning and looting is not protesting it is violence, clear and simple and will not be tolerated. But these protests are a cry for justice. The names george floyd, breonna taylor, jacob blake will not be forgotten, not by me, not by us, not by this country because true justice is also economic justice. Access to schooling, housing, access to capital, good paying jobs with financial stability, giving families of color a real shot to own a home, start a small business, send a child to college debtfree, so they can build wealth and pass on opportunities through the generations like the rest of us have. We have to vote to ensure the full promise of this country for everyone. Finally, we have to vote for the challenges of the climate crisis. The west is on fire, losing more forests than the total land of connecticut and rhode island combined. The midwest is flooding. Here in minnesota, extreme weather incurs big costs, increase flooding in mississippi. In saint paul donald trump thinks its all a hoax. He sure is a stable genius. He said wind power causes cancer. I say it creates jobs, minnesota jobs. [honking] we can combat climate change, with American Ingenuity and building a more resilient nation and creating millions of new highpaying jobs. We can change the path we are on. Nothing is beyond our capacity. So honk your horn if you want america to lead again. [honking] honk your horn if you want americans to trust each other again. [honking] honk your horn if you want to have stability again. [honking] and honk your horn if you want america to be united again. [honking] we cannot afford four more years of donald trump. In 2008 and 2012, you placed your trust in me and in barack obama and we worked for the entire community. I will do it again and 2020. My campaign is a Broad Coalition of democrats, republicans, independents, republican officeholders. I am writing as a proud democrat. But i will govern as an american president. [honking] i will work as hard for those who do not support me as those who do, because that is the job of a president. It is the duty to care for everyone. Too have a sacred duty, the duty to vote. It matters. Minnesota matters. So in the final days, stay empowered. Stay optimistic, stay united. Make a plan to vote. Help get out the vote. And as amy said, go to io iwillvote. Com mn there was a lastminute change in the roles, absentee ballots have to be in by tuesday. Drop it off, do not put it in the mail, or vote safely and person in a day up until election day, but you have got to get it done. And make sure everyone you know votes as well. So they wont be able to stop us, despite trumps efforts. A recent press article points out that never before in modern president ial politics never before in modern president ial politics has a candidate been so reliant on widescale efforts to repress the vote as trump. We will not be silenced. Over 85 Million People have already voted. 85 million. [honking] they have had enough. Look, i will never forget the words president kennedy said when he promised to send us to the moon. He said we were doing it because we in america we refuse to postpone. I refuse to postpone the work america must do. There is nothing beyond our capacity, there no limit to america, including guys like that. The only thing that can tear america apart is america itself, and that is exactly what donald trump has been doing since the beginning. Dividing america, pitting americans against one another based on race, ethnicity, national origin. Thats wrong. Thats not who we are. Everybody knows who donald trump is. Lets keep showing him who we are. [honking] we choose hope over fear. We choose unity over division. Science over fiction. And, yes, we choose truth over lies. So it is time to stand up, take back our democracy. We can do this. We are so much better than this. We can be who we are at our best, the United States of america. God bless you all and may god protect our troops. Thank you. Thank you. [honking] [lets go crazy by prince] if you dont like the world youre living in take a look around you at least you got friends come on lady for friendly word she picked up the phone, dropped it on the floor ahh, ahh is all i heard are we gonna let the elevator bring us down, oh, no lets go lets go crazy, lets get nuts look for the purple banana til they put us in the truck, lets go candidate joe biden is joined by president obama on saturday.
