president? absolutely not. i found that the secretary, we sat together in many meetings, i never heard him talk about any of this when he was the secretary. please be respectful in the crowd. please continue, mr. vice president. the fact is, the fact is i don t know if you can hear. i can hear. we can hear fine, mr. vice president. what the senator from new york talked about is seeking asylum. the women she spoke to are entitled to asylum. that is not crossing the border illegally. what we should do is flood the zone to make sure that we have people to make those decisions quickly. with regard to the secretary s point, i already proposed and
offenses because you stood up and used that tough on crime phony rhetoric that got a lot of people elected but destroyed communities like mind. this isn t about the past. this is about the present right now. thank you, senator. i want to bring in secretary i want to bring in secretary castro, your response, sir? i agree with senator booker that a lot of what vice president helped author in 94 was a mistake. and he s flip-flopped on these things. there are a lot of things we can talk about, sentencing reform, investing in public defenders, i m proud that i m the only candidate that has put forward a police reform plan. because we have a system that is broken and we need to fix it. whether it s the case of someone like michael brown, or eric
chance to pick for their family if they want private or public insurance and requires drug companies to be negotiated with by medicare and provides competition. that is totally different from the plan that senator warren and senator sanders and senator harris have proposed which would make illegal employer-based health insurance in this country and massively raise taxes on the middle class to the tune of $30 trillion as joe biden said. we don t need to do that. it doesn t make sense for us to take away insurance from half the people in this room and put huge taxes on almost everybody in this room when we can pass a public option, trust the american people to make the right decision and have universal health care in this country in two years, not ten years. thank you, secretary kals str castro, i i ll come to you afte
