Polls indicate a close race this year. [horns honking] afternoont you this for a very serious moment. It is time for us to hear the voice of a leader. It is time for us to hear leaders that will guide this nation through the forest of bigotry. A leader who knows how to build us and nott unite build walls that divide. This individual leader needs to of ae that comes from more otiff, and that is he needs to be a servant. A servant is one that serves these more than they do do themselves. Next to the first africanamerican president of the United States, barack obama. For two terms. Because hevant has served not only next to the president of the United States of america, but he has served in the place called the senate being a senator. His years of serving have been over 40 years in public office. Not only will it take a servant, but it will also take a sufferer, someone who feels what we feel. Has he isat one that has suffered the tragedy of death in his own life , a wife, a son, and therefore he can sympathize with other sufferers. Here in our own country. Thousands, millions of people have been infected with coronavirus. I know he feels let because i know he feels that because he is a sufferer. I know he feels the death of many, over 250,000 individuals have died in the United States of america, and because he has experienced death himself, he can relate to the death of many lives that we have experienced in the United States of america. Servant,must he be a not only must he be a sufferer, but he also must be a sustainer, somebody that is able to get back on track who have fallen off the track. Knowt you to know that i that all of us remember 2008, when they gave over this country to president obama and to Vice President biden. What i would call a sinking titanic. Economically we were in the waters of recession. Some said very close to another depression. But somehow, someway, they got ,ogether, plugged up the holes pulled this sinking titanic out of the waters and guided us back that we have had since they have been in. So i say to you, and i say to all of us, that if we are going to get back to what we used to be, it is going to take a servant. It is going to take someone who is a sufferer and a sustainer, and i do believe that in the person of Vice President biden and his composite rate, his his compadre, his partner, we will be ableill b to get back to where we came from and not go back to where we used to be. So i introduce to you the vice candidate for the democratic party, Vice President biden. Hello, hello, hello. [horns honking] hello. Hello, philadelphia. It is great to see everyone. Sharon Baptist Church for letting us borrow your parking lot. Chair. Dnc chair, vice i tell you what, that man can make a speech, cant he . Vice chair blake, for all you do, for our party, and all you do to get out the vote. I thank you, congressman dwight evans, for coming out and speaking today, and all you do to fight for the people of philadelphia everything will day in congress. I also want to say thank you to bishop hunter, and reverend mark tyler, state representatives. Where is morgan . Thank you for being here. Thank you for being here. And bishop lewis felton. I also want to thank sharon Baptist Church choir. Arent they great . [honking] mr. Biden one of the things i most enjoyed about being back on the campaign trail was meeting with black faith leaders around the country. The churches i get to go to during the primaries and over 400 black leaders, church leaders, supporting us. Almost every sunday i get to sit in the pew and get inspired. I go to mass early in the morning, then i go to the black church to get some hope and invigoration. I talked to people and hear what is on their minds, pray with them, and guess what . It was renewing. It was not about me, but our entire family. Jill would be with me and my grandkids, one of my grandkids is with me today, a senior in college. I thought a lot about this campaign, it has been unlike any campaign in history. There is one thing that remains the same. We have to earn our democracy. We have to get out and vote. As my late friend john lewis reminded us, freedom is not a state. Freedom is an act. We have to defend it, we have to vote. This is the most important election of our lifetimes. We are at an inflection point. We have to vote like we never did before. Every day is a new reminder of how high the stakes are. Of how far the other side will go to try to suppress the turnout, especially here in philadelphia. President trump is terrified of what will happen in pennsylvania. He knows the people of pennsylvania get to have their say, if you have your say, he doesnt stand a chance. [honking] mr. Biden but the American People will not be silenced. 90 Million People have already voted. [horns honking] they have had enough. They have had enough. There is too much on the line to sit it out. We have two more days. Two more days. We can put an end to this presidency that has, since the beginning, sought to divide us, to tear us apart. Folks, in two days, we can put an end to a president that has failed to protect this nation. In two days, we can put an end to a presidency that has fanned the flames of hate, poured gasoline on every opportunity he had all across this nation. Millions of americans have already voted. Millions more will vote in the two days ahead. There is still a lot of pennsylvanians who have not voted yet. We need every single one of you to get out and vote on tuesday. My message is simple. Pennsylvania is critical in this election. [horns honking] mr. Biden i live in delaware, but i was born in scranton. [horns honking] i am a pennsylvania boy. [horns honking] i want to tell you, the last time donald trump ran, he won this state by 44,000 votes. So every single vote matters. The power the power to change , this country is in your hands. I dont care how hard donald trump tries. There is nothing he is going to do to stop this nation from voting, no matter what he tries. [horns honking] mr. Biden and folks, when americans vote, america will be heard. When america is heard, i believe the message is going to be loud and clear. It is time for donald trump to pack his bags and go home. [horns honking] fmr vp biden it is time to breathe some life back into this nation. We are done, we are tired of the tweets, the anger, the hate, the failure, the irresponsibility. [horns honking] we have a lot work to do. If im elected your president , we are going to do it and we are going to act and start from the very first day. [horns honking] we are going to act to get covid under control. It is almost criminal, the way he has handled it. On day one of my presidency, im going to put in action a plan i have been talking about for months, masking, social distancing, testing, tracing. A plan for full and fair and free distribution of therapeutics, vaccine, when we get one. A plan to address the disproportionate way this virus has been hitting and devastating the black Community Across america. [horns honking] fmr vp biden folks, every single day, we are seeing racebased disparities in every aspect of this virus. Higher infection rates, lower access to testing, harder time quarantining safely, lower access to quality treatment when you become infected, and tragically, higher mortality rates. Three times as many africanamericans are dying as white americans. [horns honking] fmr vp biden when they get the virus. One in 100 black americans excuse me, one in 1000 black americans have died from covid19. And if we dont change between now and january, it is estimated that one in 500 by the end of this pandemic. [horns honking] that is a mass casualty event in the black community and it is totally unnecessary, totally uncalled for. My Public Health plan will ensure the needs of communities that are being hit the hardest by this virus are a priority, not an afterthought. We are going to plan to get our economy back on track, not get back to where we were, but build back better, [horns honking] to make sure everyone is dealt in on a fullscale share of the american dream. We are going to address the crisis and build economic equality. The going to address blinders have been taken off. The American People have seen, they have seen how bad things are. To make it easier to start a business. To buy your first home. To pursue and education after high School Without been burdened with debt. To invest in hbcus that do so much to mold black leaders of tomorrow. I mean it. [horns honking] this is not just talk. I mean that. We are going to have to deliver Racial Justice in america. [horns honking] i see in all the protests here in philadelphia and across the country a cry for justice. [horns honking] protesting is not burning and looting, and violence will not be tolerated. But the names of george floyd, breonna taylor, jacob blake, [horns honking] Walter Wallace junior, they will not soon be for cotton. [horns honking] they will not be forgotten by me, not be forgotten by you, and they will not be forgotten by the American People. Because they are inspiring a new wave of justice in america. George floyds little girl, six years old said to me when i want to be with the family. I knelt down and she looked at me and she said, daddy is going to change the world. That is what she said to me. Six years old. Daddy. [horns honking] look, we can change the world. We can change it. We all know this country has to come together. We cannot afford four more years of anger, hate, and division we have seen under this president. [horns honking] folks, look. From the day he announced, the moment a came down the escalator, what did he say . In new york, he said, we are going to go out and get those rapist mexicans. Rapist mexicans. He put a ban on all muslims coming to the United States. And the way he talked about the africanamerican community, the way he talked about the hispanic community. Look, folks we have to come , together. I am running as a proud democrat but i will govern as an american president for everybody. [horns honking] i will work as hard for those who dont support me as those who do support me. I mean it. [horns honking] that is the job of a president. The duty to care for everyone. [horns honking] in president bidens america, there will be no red states or blue states. There will only be the United States of america. [horns honking] look, our faith in our country is being tested. But our faith in god is helping us through because of all of you. [horns honking] thank you for your commitment to the greatest commandment, love our neighbors as ourselves. [horns honking] and our dedication to never grow weary of doing good. Being with you all reminds me of that gospel hymn that inspired so many of us. When i last talked to john lewis when he was dying, he reminded me of it. I dont feel no ways tired. [horns honking] ive come too far from where i started from. [horns honking] nobody told me the road would be easy. [horns honking] i dont believe he brought me this far to leave me. [horns honking] he did not leave us. [horns honking] we are not tired. [horns honking] the road has not been easy. [horns honking] but we have come too far to stop now. So, please, vote. [horns honking] get everyone you know to vote. We need to get every soul in philadelphia to the polls. Your voice, your vote matters. Your voice matters. Your voice deserves to be heard. If you still have an absentee ballot, get it to way dropbox as soon as you can, or you can vote on election day. But make a plan. I mean it make a plan. , make a plan now. Help get out the vote. Go to iwillvote. Com pa. Folks, folks, you know, i have been doing this a while. One of the reasons i got elected in the first place in delaware across the line, was because of the folks in pennsylvania. All the media and delaware for all of the media in pennsylvania and in delaware, was all philadelphia television. I was very happy to have the moniker of being known as philadelphias third senator. I know philadelphia well. I married a philly girl, by the way. [horns honking] by the way i have got my eagles , jacket on. [horns honking] folks, here is what i want to say, and i will conclude. You have been here a long time. I will never forget what president john f. Kennedy said when he promised we were going to go to the moon. He said words that my colleagues in the senate always used to kid me for repeating. He said, we are doing it because americans, we refuse to postpone. Well i refuse to postpone the , incredible opportunities available to the American People. I refuse to postpone what we can do. There is nothing beyond the capacity of the United States of america. [horns honking] there is no limit to americas future. [horns honking] the blinders have been taken off. The only thing that can tear america part is america itself, and that is exactly what trumps been trying to do for the beginning. Dividing america based on race, religion, gender, national origin. It is wrong. It is not who we are. This is not who we are. Everybody knows who donald trump is. Lets keep showing him who we are. [horns honking] folks, and i mean this. It is not Just Campaign rhetoric. We choose hope over fear. We choose unity over division. [horns honking] we choose science over fiction. [horns honking] and, yes, we choose truth over lies, the multiple lies he repeats. It is time to stand up. [horns honking] it is time to take back our democracy. [horns honking] we can do this. [horns honking] we are better than this. [horns honking] we are better than what we have been. This is the United States of america. [horns honking] god bless you all and may god protect our troops. [horns honking] i love you. I love you. You brought me to the dance. Thank you, thank you. Thank you. God love you all. Teacher, keep on teaching preaching ep on turning world keep on keep the faith. Every time i walk into my grandfathers house in scranton, he would yell keep the faith. Grandmotherer my would say, no, joey, spread it. Lets spread the faith. Leaders, stop sleeping because this world needs you more. Going to keep on trying till i reach the Higher Ground information about how pennsylvania will count mailin ballots according to a cnn article. Pennsylvania unlike most days does not allow individuals to process early ballots until 7 00 am on election day. Philadelphia and other areas will plan to start work on their melon votes at 7 00 a. M. Sharp but swing counties like area and red ones like cumberland intend to wait until after polls close or even until the next morning to begin. Wisconsin is the only other state that does not allow mail and counting until election day. Tonight on q a a look at mailin ballots and Election Security with the Bipartisan Policy Centers matthew weil and cnets laura hautala. Florida maybe a state called at 10 00 or 11 00 on Election Night because they will come quickly. We have states like michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania which could be determinative in the election and they have policies that limit how fast or how or late they can count their absentee ballots. Think Cyber Security are less concerned now about the threats to both counting than they have been in years past, and that is a good thing. That is because of the increase in paper records and increased coordination among the states and federal government. There was a lot of reason to feel good that the security of this election will be better. Mailin ballots and Election Security west matthew weil and cnets laura hautala. Tonight it ed 00 p. M. Eastern on cspans q a. Tonight at 8 00 p. M. Eastern on cspans q a. Talked about mailin ballots,. Journal,s washington everyday we discussed policy issues that impact you. Coming up, we talk with supporters of President Trump and joe biden and others undecided. Then the editor of the Cook Political Report will join us to discuss campaign 2020. While she stands washington journal live at 7 00 a. M. Eastern monday watch cspan washington journal 7 00 a. M. Monday morning. Be sure to join us with your facebook comments, Text Messages and tweets. Monday night on the communicators, m. I. T. Research scientist Daniel Wisner, on security and privacy issues with artificial intelligence. The problem is that trying to regulate encryption is a quick fix, it might feel good but it is not really going to help. Because the concerted criminal activity is always going to find ways to hide their communication one way or the other. It will leave the rest of us in a more vulnerable state. So i am concerned that policymakers really should look at the whole picture when they are making this choice. M. I. T. Research scientist Daniel Wisner monday
