This film focuses on the cultural and social aspects of what life within Soviet Russia was like during the Cold War. It was filmed with government permission and an official guide to show the more prosperous side of the Soviet Union and it will refrain from looking into the political and economic life (:11). Moscow is the fifth largest city in the world and is also the capital of the Soviet Union and the Russian Republic (2:03). The Moskva River, in western Russia, runs adjacent to the Kremlin (2:17). The Kremlin was initially created as a fortress until Peter the Great transferred the Imperial Government to St. Petersburg (2:27). A quota is set in place by the government for labor and production goals (2:44). The Kremlin faces the Red Square; (2:49) which the St. Basil the Blessed Cathedral sits in the center of (2:53). Iron gates had previously blocked off visitors to the Kremlin until 1955 (3:05). The tombs of Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin sit near the Kremlin’s entrance (3:12). The Hermitage Art Gallery in Leningrad follows (3:40). The gold domes of the Kremlin are pointed out as all activity within the Soviet Union is directed from here (3:46). The churches of the Soviet Union operate freely (3:56) and while Russian Orthodox is the most popular, there exists many different venues for varying religions (4:02). Religion is refrained from being taught in schools and most Russians are educated about atheism instead (4:23). City streets are mostly empty (4:48). Statues of Russian Tzars and warriors (5:05) as well as statues dedicated to workers. At six months, children are taken to nursery schools (5:45). At the age of seven they are sent for regular schooling (6:00). Academic standards are high and classes are six days a week (6:29). Also, at seven, kids become members of a communist youth organization called the Young Pioneers (6:45). By 17, they become members of the Young Communist League (6:59). After ten years they are able to potentially become members of the Communist Party. The Moscow University enrolls about 22,000 students annually (7:43). The Bolshoi Theater (7:43). Women are seen learning ballet (8:26). Artwork in the Hermitage at Leningrad includes Van Dyck’s Self Portrait (8:43), Titian’s Mary Magdalene (8:50) and the Madonna Litta by Leonardo da Vinci (8:53). One of the many book stands (9:04). All works must be approved by the government (9:14). Food and soft drink vendors have a quota to maintain (9:25). The government department store GUM (9:48) in Red Square.

Passengers load onto a train for the Crimea Peninsula (14:01). This Peninsula runs along the shores of the Black Sea (14:14). Yalta; a small port on the southern tip, (14:17) is a popular vacation resort site. Castles along the Crimean coast had been utilized during WW2 for meetings between Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin (14:59). A popular plate of fresh caviar and sweet buttered bread is laid in front of hotel restaurant guests (16:00). In an upper-class apartment home, a woman who works at the factory shows her daughter how to play piano (16:22). The father; a Captain in the Russian Navy, listens to the radio as television was unpopular (16:29). All of the furniture in their homes had been produced in the Soviet Union (16:52). The family dines on a meal of borscht (16:58). Half of the population resided in over crowded apartments (17:54). Medical services are provided for free and the state educates nurses and doctors (18:11). Vacations are furnished by the government for those who exceed labor or production quotas (18:21). Winners have little say in where the vacation is to be and a traditional option is a boat tour on the Black Sea (18:51). Civilians crowd beaches and a few venture into the cold waters (19:26).

FULL TRANSCRIPT FOR CNN PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE

--FULL TRANSCRIPT--\nTonight, during CNN’s Presidential Debate, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump took questions from CNN anchors Dana Bash and Jake Tapper live from CNN’s Studios in Atlanta, Georgia.\n\nPlease see the full final rushed transcript below.\n\n\nMANDATORY CREDIT: CNN\n\n\n\nCNN LIVE DIGITAL STORY HIGHLIGHTS\n\nAsked about age, Biden says Trump is "a lot less competent"\n\nAsked about voter concerns regarding his age, President Joe Biden mentioned his opponent is only a few years younger than him, “but a lot less competent.”\n\n“First of all,” Biden said, “I spent half my career being criticized for being the youngest person in politics … and now I’m the oldest.”\n\n“This guy’s three years younger and a lot less competent,” Biden said.\n\nHe urged voters to “just look at the record, what I’ve done.”\n\nAsked the same question, Trump challenged Biden to a cognitive test. The pair then argued about their golf skills.\n\n\n\nTrump on Biden: "He is the worst president in the history of our country"\n\nWhen asked what he would do to make childcare more affordable, Trump continued his attacks on Biden, arguing that, “This shouldn’t be a debate … He is the worst president in the history of our country.” \n\n“??If he wins this election, our country doesn’t have a chance — not even a chance of coming out of this rut. We probably won’t have a country left anymore,” he continued. \n\nBiden responded by noting a survey of historians that said Trump was the worst president in history, and claimed Trump did “virtually nothing for childcare” during his presidency. \n\n“We should significantly increase the childcare tax credit. We should significantly increase the availability of single parents to be able to go back to work. And we should encourage businesses to have childcare facilities,” Biden added.\n\n\n\nTrump says he saved America's steel industry with tariffs. US Steel is a shell of its former self\n\nFormer President Donald Trump claimed that his administration saved America’s steel industry with tariffs on foreign steel.\n\nAmerica’s steel industry has been in decline for a century. Chinese steel, in particular, is significantly cheaper and therefore more popular than steel made in America. Trump’s tariffs did little to change the fortunes of the steel industry in America.\n\nThat’s evidenced by US Steel, which decades ago was the world’s biggest company. Last year, it announced it planned to sell itself to Nippon Steel, a Japanese rival, in a $14 billion deal.\n\nBiden came out publicly against that proposed deal, citing antitrust and foreign competition concerns.\n\n\n\nBiden says defeating Trump will keep Social Security solvent\n\nPresident Joe Biden vowed to keep Social Security solvent, saying that forcing wealthy Americans to “pay their fair share” is one way to ensure that happens.\n\nBut he added that the biggest thing that would keep Social Security solvent is defeating former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election.\n\n“He wants to get rid of Social Security,” Biden said. “He thinks there is plenty to cut in Social Security.\n\nIn response, Trump blamed Biden for “destroying” Social Security and said the current president “doesn’t know what he’s doing.” He claimed that “millions of people” are immigrating into the US and are taking services such as Social Security and Medicaid away from other Americans.\n\n\n\nBiden gets personal as he slams Trump's criminal conviction\n\nPresident Joe Biden launched a fiery set of criticisms against former President Donald Trump’s legal troubles, comparing his predecessor’s morals to an “alley cat” as he called him a “convicted felon.”\n\n“The crimes that you are still charged with – and think of all the civil penalties you have. How many billions of dollars do you owe in civil penalties for molesting a woman in public? For doing a whole range of things? Of having sex with a porn star on the night – while your wife was pregnant?” Biden asked. \n\nTrump was found guilty last month on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a hush-money payment to an adult-film star in 2016. And last year, a jury found that Trump sexually abused E. Jean Carroll in a luxury department store dressing room in the spring of 1996 and awarded her $5 million for battery and defamation.\n\nBiden turned to Trump, and continued, “You have the morals of an alley cat.” \n\nTrump denied having sex with a porn star. \n\n\n\nTrump attacks Biden: "He caused the inflation"\n\n“He caused the inflation,” former President Donald Trump claimed, attacking President Joe Biden in a conversation about whether Biden’s economy is working for Black Americans.\n\nTrump also claimed that “there was no inflation” during his administration.\n\nThe causes of America’s inflation crisis are numerous. The pandemic led to massive supply chain disruptions that sent prices surging. Russia’s war with Ukraine exacerbated those costs and sent energy prices through the roof. And the Federal Reserve failed to understand the seriousness of the inflation crisis, keeping rates low for an extended period of time.\n\nOn top of that, stimulus checks distributed during both the Trump administration and the Biden administration helped boost inflation. \n\nInflation in America peaked in June 2022, with consumer prices surging 9.1% over the previous year. It’s now down to a still-high but much healthier 3.3%. But that’s significantly higher than the 1.4% inflation rate when Biden took office.\n\nAmerica’s inflation had been a non-issue for decades before Biden took office and was routinely below the Fed’s target 2% inflation rate during the Trump administration. But inflation was initially pushed to practically zero — artificially — during the pandemic lockdown. Reopening the economy contributed to inflation’s rebound.\n\n\n\nTrump says Putin's terms to end war in Ukraine war are "not acceptable"\n\nFormer President Donald Trump on Thursday said the terms Russian President Vladimir Putin has put forward to end Russia’s war in Ukraine are “not acceptable.”\n\nPutin has said Russia would only end its war in Ukraine if Kyiv surrenders the entirety of four regions claimed by Moscow and abandons its bid to join NATO.\n\nAfter initially dodging the question posed by CNN’s Dana Bash at the presidential debate in Atlanta, Trump was pressed by Bash a second time: “Are Putin’s terms acceptable to you?”\n\n“No, they’re not acceptable,” Trump said.\n\nTrump again claimed he would end the war in Ukraine if reelected, as he regularly does on the campaign trail, and again did not provide any specifics about how he would end the war, which is now in its third year.\n\n\nBiden touts proposed ceasefire deal for Gaza\n\nWhen asked what he would do to get Israel and Hamas to end the war in Gaza, Biden touted a plan that included trading the hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and a continued “ceasefire with additional conditions.”\n\n“The only one who wants the war to continue is Hamas,” Biden said. “We’re still pushing hard to get them to accept.”\n\n\n\nTrump denies responsibility for the January 6 attack on US Capitol\n“On January 6, we had a great border. Nobody coming through,” he said. “We were energy independent. On January 6, we had the lowest taxes ever, we had the lowest regulations ever.”\n\n\n\n"My son was not a loser, was not a sucker. You're the sucker, you're the loser," Biden tells Trump\n“First of all, that was a made-up quote, ‘suckers and losers.’ They made it up. It was in a third-rate magazine that’s failing, like many of these magazines,” Trump said. “To think that I would, in front of generals and others, say ‘suckers and losers.’”\n\n\nBiden on Trump's Roe v. Wade claims: "Simply not true"\n“That is simply not true,” Biden responded. “Roe v. Wade does not provide for that — that’s not the circumstance. Only if a woman’s life is in danger, or she’s going to die. That’s the only circumstance where that can happen.”\n\n\nTrump says he will not block abortion medication as president\n“I put three great Supreme Court justices on the court and they happened to vote in favor of killing Roe v. Wade, and moving it back to the states,” he said. “Now the states are working it out.”\n\n\n\nFULL RUSH TRANSCRIPT\n\nTHE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN RUSH AND PREFEED TRANSCRIPTS IS A BEST POSSIBLE TEXTUAL REPRESENTATION OF THE APPLICABLE CONTENT.

In just moments, the current U.S. president will debate the former U.S. president as their parties' presumptive nominees, a first in American history.\n\n\n\nWe want to welcome our viewers in the United States and around the world to our studios in Atlanta.\n\n\n\nThis is the CNN presidential debate.\n\n\n\nDANA BASH, CNN HOST: This debate is being produced by CNN and it's coming to you live on CNN, CNN International, CNN.com, CNN Max, and CNN Espanol.\n\n\n\nThis is a pivotal moment between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump in their rematch for the nation's highest office. Each will make his case to the American people with just over four months until Election Day.\n\n\n\nGood evening. I'm Dana Bash, anchor of CNN's "INSIDE POLITICS" and co-anchor of "STATE OF THE UNION".\n\n\n\nTAPPER: I'm Jake Tapper, anchor of CNN's "THE LEAD" and co-anchor of "STATE OF THE UNION".\n\n\n\nDana and I will co-moderate this evening. Our job he is to facilitate a debate between the two candidates tonight.\n\n\n\nBefore we introduce them, we wanted to share the rules of the debate with the audience at home.\n\n\n\nFormer President Trump will be on the left side of the screen. President Biden will be appearing on the right. A coin toss determined their positions. Each candidate will have two minutes to answer the question, and one minute each for responses and rebuttals. An additional minute for follow-up clarification or response is at the moderator's discretion.\n\n\n\nBASH: When it's time for our candidate to speak, his microphone will be turned on and his opponent's microphone will be turned off. Should a candidate interrupt when his microphone is muted, he will be difficult to understand for viewers at home.\n\n\n\nAt the end of the debate, each candidate will get two minutes for closing statements. There is no studio audience tonight.\n\n\n\nPre-written notes, props, or contact with campaign staff are not permitted during the debate. By accepting our invitation to debate, both candidates and their campaigns agreed to accept these rules.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Now, please welcome the 46th of the United States, Joe Biden.\n\n\n\nJOE BIDEN, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Folks, how are you? Good to be here. Thank you.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: And please welcome the 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump.\n\n\n\n(MUSIC)\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Gentlemen, thanks so much for being here.\n\n\n\nLet's begin the debate. And let's start with the issue that voters consistently say is their top concern, the economy.\n\n\n\nPresident Biden, inflation has slowed, but prices remain high. Since you took office, the price of essentials has increased. For example, a basket of groceries that cost $100, then, now costs more than $120. And typical home prices have jumped more than 30 percent.\n\n\n\nWhat do you say to voters who feel they are worse off under your presidency than they were under President Trump?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: We've got to take a look at what I was left when I became president, what Mr. Trump left me.\n\n\n\nWe had an economy that was in freefall. The pandemic was so badly handled. Many people were dying. All he said was it's not that serious, just inject a little bleach in your arm. You'll be all right.\n\n\n\nThe economy collapsed. There were no jobs. The unemployment rate rose to 15 percent. It was terrible.\n\n\n\nAnd so, what we had to do is try to put things back together again. And that's exactly what we began to do. We created 15,000 new jobs. We brought out in a position where we have 800,000 new manufacturing jobs.\n\n\n\nBut there's more to be done. There's more to be done. Working-class people are still in trouble.\n\n\n\nI come from Scranton, Pennsylvania. I come of household where the kitchen table -- if things weren't able to be met during the month, was a problem. Price of eggs, the price of gas, the price of housing, the price of a whole range of things.\n\n\n\nThat's why I'm working so hard to make sure I deal with those problems, and we're going to make sure that we have reduced the price of housing. We're going to make sure we build 2 million new units. We're going to make sure we cap rents, so corporate greed can't take over.\n\n\n\nThe combination of what I was left with and corporate greed are the reason why we're in this problem right now.\n\n\n\nIn addition to that, we're in a situation where if you had to take a look at all that was done at his administration, he didn't do much at all. By the time he left, there's -- things were in chaos, literally chaos.\n\n\n\nAnd so we put things back together. We created, as I said, those jobs. We made sure we had a situation where we now -- we brought down the price of prescription drugs, which is a major issue for many people, to $15 for -- for an insulin shot, as opposed to $400. No senior has to pay more than $200 for any drug, all the drugs they can include (ph) beginning next year.\n\n\n\nAnd the situation is making -- and we're going to make that available to everybody, to all Americans. So we're working to bring down the price of -- around the kitchen table. And that's what we're going to get done.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Thank you.\n\n\n\nPresident Trump?\n\n\n\nDONALD TRUMP, FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (R) AND CURRENT U.S. PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE (R): We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We have never done so well. Every -- everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us.\n\n\n\nWe got hit with COVID. And when we did, we spent the money necessary so we wouldn't end up in a Great Depression, the likes of which we had in 1929. By the time we finished -- so we did a great job. We got a lot of credit for the economy, a lot of credit for the military, and no wars and so many other things. Everything was rocking good.\n\n\n\nBut the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess. He created mandates -- that was a disaster for our country.\n\n\n\nBut other than that, we had -- we had given them back a -- a country where the stock market actually was higher than pre-COVID. And nobody thought that was even possible. The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounce-back jobs, they're bounced back from the COVID.\n\n\n\nHe has not done a good job. He has done a poor job. And inflation's killing our country. It is absolutely killing us.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Thank you.\n\n\n\nPresident Biden?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: Well, look, the greatest economy in the world, he's the only one who thinks that, I think. I don't know anybody else who thinks it was great -- he had the greatest economy in the world.\n\n\n\nAnd, you know, the fact of the matter is that we found ourselves in a situation where his economy, he rewarded the wealthy. He had the largest tax cut in American history, $2 trillion. He raised the deficit larger than any president has in any one term. He's the only president other than Herbert Hoover who has lost more jobs than he had when he began, since Herbert Hoover. The idea that he did something that was significant.\n\n\n\nAnd the military, you know, when he was president, they were still killing people in Afghanistan. And he didn't do anything about that. When he was president, we were still finding ourselves in a position where you had a notion that we were this safe country. The truth is, I'm the only president this century that doesn't have any this -- this decade, that doesn't have any troops dying anywhere in the world, like he did.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: President Trump, I want to follow up, if I can, you want --\n\n\n\n(CROSSTALK)\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Am I allowed to respond to him?\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Well, I'm going to ask you a follow-up. You can do whatever you want with the minute that we give you. I want to follow up. You want to impose a 10 percent tariff on all goods coming into the U.S. How will you ensure that that doesn't drive prices even higher?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: It's not going to drive them higher. It's just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China -- and many others, in all fairness to China -- it's going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things.\n\n\n\nBut he -- he made a statement. The only thing he was right about is I gave you the largest tax cut in history. I also gave you the largest regulation cut in history. And that's why we had all the jobs. And the jobs went down and then they bounced back and he's taking credit for bounce-back jobs. You can't do that.\n\n\n\nHe also said he inherited 9 percent inflation. No, he inherited almost no inflation, and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn't know what they were doing. And they don't know what they were doing. It was the worst -- probably the worst administration in history. There's never been.\n\n\n\nAnd as far as Afghanistan is concerned, I was getting out of Afghanistan, but we were getting out with dignity, with strength, with power. He got out, it was the most embarrassing day in the history of our country's life.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: President Trump, over the last eight years, under both of your administrations, the national debt soared to record highs. And according to a new non-partisan analysis, President Trump, your administration approved $8.4 trillion in new debt.\n\n\n\nWhile so far, President Biden, you've approved $4.3 trillion in new debt.\n\n\n\nSo former President Trump, many of the tax cuts that you signed into law are set to expire next year. You want to extend them and go even further, you say. With the U.S. facing trillion-dollar deficits and record debt, why should top earners and corporations pay even less in taxes than they do now?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Because the tax cuts spurred the greatest economy that we've ever seen just prior to COVID, and even after COVID. It was so strong that we were able to get through COVID much better than just about any other country. But we spurred -- that tax spurred. Now, when we cut the taxes, as example, the corporate tax was cut down to 21 percent from 39 percent, plus beyond that, we took in more revenue with much less tax and companies were bringing back trillions of dollars back into our country.\n\n\n\nThe country was going like never before. And we were ready to start paying down debt. We were ready to start using the liquid gold right under our feet, the oil and gas right under our feet. We were going to have something that nobody else has had. We got hit with COVID. We did a lot to fix it. I gave him an unbelievable situation with all of the therapeutics and all of the things that we came up with, we -- we gave him something great.\n\n\n\nRemember, more people died under his administration, even though we had largely fixed it. More people died under his administration than our administration, and we were right in the middle of it.\n\n\n\nSomething which a lot of people don't like to talk about, but he had far more people dying in his administration.\n\n\n\nHe did the mandate, which is a disaster, mandating it. The vaccine went out. He did a mandate on the vaccine, which is the thing that people most objected to about the vaccine. And he did a very poor job, just a very poor job.\n\n\n\nAnd I will tell you, not only poor there, but throughout the entire world, we're no longer respected as a country. They don't respect our leadership. They don't respect the United States anymore.\n\n\n\nWe're like a Third World nation between weaponization of his election, trying to go after his political opponent. All of the things he's done. We've become like a Third World nation, and it's a shame.\n\n\n\nThe damage he's done to our country -- and I'd love to ask him, and will, why he allowed millions of people to come in here from prisons, jails, and mental institutions to come into our country and destroy our country.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: President Trump, we will get to immigration later in this block. President Biden, I want to give you an opportunity to respond to this question about the national debt.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: He had the largest national debt of any president in a four-your period, number one. Number two, he -- that $2 trillion tax cut benefited the very wealthy. I -- what I'm going to do is fix the tax system.\n\n\n\nFor example, we have a thousand trillionaires in America -- I mean, billionaires in America. And what's happening? They're in a situation where they, in fact, pay 8.2 percent in taxes. If they just paid 24 percent or 25 percent, either one of those numbers, they'd raised $500 million -- billion dollars, I should say, in a 10-year period.\n\n\n\nWe'd be able to right wipe out his debt. We'd be able to help make sure that all those things we need to do -- childcare, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our healthcare system, making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the -- with -- with -- with the COVID. Excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with -- look, if -- we finally beat Medicare.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Thank you, President Biden. President Trump?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Well, he's right. He did beat Medicare. He beat it to death. And he's destroying Medicare because all of these people are coming in, they're putting them on Medicare. They're putting them on Social Security. They're going to destroy Social Security.\n\n\n\nThis man is going to single-handedly destroy Social Security. These millions and millions of people coming in, they're trying to put them on Social Security. He will wipe out Social Security. He will wipe out Medicare. So he was right in the way he finished that sentence. And it's a shame.\n\n\n\nWhat's happened to our country in the last four years is not to be believed. Foreign countries, I'm friends with a lot of people. They cannot believe what happened to the United States of America. We're no longer respected. They don't like us.\n\n\n\nWe give them everything they want, and they think we're stupid. They think we're very stupid people.\n\n\n\nWhat we're doing for other countries, and they do nothing for us. What this man has done is absolutely criminal.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Thank you, President Trump.\n\n\n\nDana?\n\n\n\nBASH: This is the first presidential election since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. This morning, the court ruled on yet another abortion case, temporarily allowing emergency abortions to continue in Idaho, despite that state's restrictive ban.\n\n\n\nFormer President Trump, you take credit for the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which returned the issue of abortion to the states.\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Correct.\n\n\n\nBASH: However, the federal government still plays a role in whether or not women have access to abortion pills. They're used in about two-thirds of all abortions.\n\n\n\nAs president, would you block abortion medication?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: First of all, the Supreme Court just approved the abortion pill. And I agree with their decision to have done that, and I will not block it.\n\n\n\nAnd if you look at this whole question that you're asking, a complex, but not really complex.\n\n\n\nFifty-one years ago, you had Roe v. Wade, and everybody wanted to get it back to the states, everybody, without exception, Democrats, Republicans, liberals, conservatives. Everybody wanted it back. Religious leaders.\n\n\n\nAnd what I did is I put three great Supreme Court justices on the court, and they happened to vote in favor of killing Roe v. Wade and moving it back to the states. This is something that everybody wanted.\n\n\n\nNow, 10 years ago or so, they started talking about how many weeks and how many of this are getting into other things, but every legal scholar, throughout the world, the most respected, wanted it brought back to the states. I did that.\n\n\n\nNow the states are working it out. If you look at Ohio, it was a decision that was -- it was -- it was an end result that was a little bit more liberal than you would have thought. Kansas, I would say the same thing. Texas is different. Florida is different.\n\n\n\nBut they're all making their own decisions right now. And right now, the states control it. That's the vote of the people.\n\n\n\nLike Ronald Reagan, I believe in the exceptions, I am a person that believes. And frankly, I think it's important to believe in the exceptions. Some people, you have to follow your heart, some people don't believe in that.\n\n\n\nBut I believe in the exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother. I think it's very important. Some people don't. Follow your heart.\n\n\n\nBut you have to get elected also and -- because that has to do with other things. You've got to get elected.\n\n\n\nThe problem they have is they're radical because they will take the life of a child in the eighth month, the ninth month, and even after birth -- after birth.\n\n\n\nIf you look at the former governor of Virginia, he was willing to do this. He said, we'll put the baby aside and we'll determine what we do with the baby. Meaning, we'll kill the baby.\n\n\n\nWhat happened is we brought it back to the states and the country is now coming together on this issue. It's been a great thing.\n\n\n\nBASH: Thank you.\n\n\n\nPresident Biden?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: It's been a terrible thing, what you've done.\n\n\n\nThe fact is that the vast majority of constitutional scholars supported Roe when it was decided, supported Roe. And that was -- that's -- this idea that they were all against it is just ridiculous.\n\n\n\nAnd this is the guy who says the states should be able to have it. We're (ph) in a state where in six weeks, you don't even know whether you're pregnant or not, but you cannot see the doctor or have your -- and have him decide on what your circumstances are, whether you need help.\n\n\n\nThe idea that states are able to do this is a little like saying, we're going to turn civil rights back to the states. Let each state have a different rule.\n\n\n\nLook, there's so many young women who have been -- including a young woman who just was murdered and he -- he went to the funeral. The idea that she was murdered by a -- by --by an immigrant coming in, and they talk about that. But here's the deal, there's a lot of young women who are being raped by their -- by their in-laws, by their -- by their spouses, brothers and sisters, by -- just -- it's just -- it's just ridiculous. And they can do nothing about it.\n\n\n\nAnd they tried to arrest them when they cross state lines.\n\n\n\nBASH: Thank you.\n\n\n\nTRUMP: There have been many young women murdered by the same people he allows to come across our border. We have a border that's the most dangerous place anywhere in the world -- considered the most dangerous place anywhere in the world. And he opened it up, and these killers are coming into our country. And they are raping and killing women, and it's a terrible thing.\n\n\n\nAs far as the abortion is concerned, it is now back with the states. The states are voting. In many cases, they -- it's frankly a very liberal decision. In many cases, it's the opposite.\n\n\n\nBut they're voting. And it's bringing it back to the vote of the people, which is what everybody wanted, including the founders, if they knew about this issue, which frankly they didn't. But they would have -- everybody want it brought back.\n\n\n\nRonald Reagan wanted it brought back. He wasn't able to get it.\n\n\n\nEverybody wanted it brought back and many presidents had tried to get it back. I was the one to do it.\n\n\n\nAnd again, this gives it the vote of the people. And that's where they wanted it. Every legal scholar wanted it that way.\n\n\n\nBASH: Staying on the topic of abortion, President Biden. Seven states --\n\n\n\nBIDEN: (OFF-MIKE)\n\n\n\nBASH: I'll let you do that. This is the same topic.\n\n\n\nSeven states have no legal restrictions on how far into a pregnancy a woman can obtain an abortion. Do you support any legal limits on how late a woman should be able to terminate a pregnancy?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: I supported Roe v. Wade, which had three trimesters. First time is between a woman and a doctor. Second time is between the doctor and an extreme situation. And a third time is between the doctor -- I mean, it'd be between the woman and the state.\n\n\n\nThe idea that the politicians -- that the founders wanted the politicians to be the ones making decisions about women's health is ridiculous. That's the last -- no politician should be making that decision.\n\n\n\nA doctor should be making those decisions. That's how it should be run. That's what you're going to do.\n\n\n\nAnd if I'm elected, I'm going to restore Roe v. Wade.\n\n\n\nTRUMP: So that means he can take the life of the baby in the ninth month and even after birth, because some states -- Democrat-run -- take it after birth. Again, the governor -- former governor of Virginia: put the baby down, then we decide what to do with it.\n\n\n\nSo he's in -- he's willing to, as we say, rip the baby out of the womb in the ninth month and kill the baby.\n\n\n\nNobody wants that to happen. Democrat --\n\n\n\nBIDEN: (OFF-MIKE) No.\n\n\n\nTRUMP: -- or Republican, nobody wants it to happen.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: (OFF-MIKE) You're lying.\n\n\n\nThat is simply not true. That Roe v. Wade does not provide for that. That's not the circumstance. Only when the woman's life is in danger, if she's going to die -- that's the only circumstance in which that can happen.\n\n\n\nBut we are not for late term abortion, period -- period, period.\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Under Roe v. Wade, you have late term abortion. You can do whatever you want, depending on the state. You can do whatever you want. We don't think that's a good thing. We think it's a radical thing.\n\n\n\nWe think the Democrats are the radicals, not the Republicans.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: For 51 years, that was the law. Fifty-one years, Constitutional Scholarship said it was the right way to go. Fifty-one years, and it was taken away because this guy put very conservative members on the Supreme Court. He takes credit for taking it away.\n\n\n\nWhat's he going to do? What's he going to do, in fact, if -- if the MAGA Republicans -- he gets elected and the MAGA Republicans control of the Congress and they pass a universal ban on abortion, period, across the board, at six weeks, or seven, or eight or ten weeks, something very, very conservative. Is he going to sign that bill?\n\n\n\nI'll veto it. He'll sign it.\n\n\n\nBASH: Thank you.\n\n\n\nTRUMP: (OFF-MIKE)\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Let's turn now to the issue of immigration and border security. President Biden, a record number of migrants have illegally crossed the southern border on your watch, overwhelming border states and overburdening cities such as New York and Chicago, and in some cases causing real safety and security concerns.\n\n\n\nGiven that, why should voters trust you to solve this crisis?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: Because we worked very hard to get a bipartisan agreement that not only changed all of that, but it made sure that we are in a situation where you had no circumstance where they could come across the border with the number of border police there are now. We significantly increased the number of asylum officers. Significantly -- by the way, the Border Patrol men endorsed me, endorsed my position.\n\n\n\nIn addition to that, we found ourselves in a situation where, when he was president, he was taking -- separating babies from their mothers, putting them in cages, making sure the families were separated. That's not the right way to go.\n\n\n\nWhat I've done -- since I've changed the law, what's happened? I've changed it in a way that now you're in a situation where there are 40 percent fewer people coming across the border illegally. That's better than when he left office.\n\n\n\nAnd I'm going to continue to move until we get the total ban on the -- the total initiative relative to what we're going to do with more Border Patrol and more asylum officers.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: President Trump?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don't think he knows what he said either.\n\n\n\nLook, we had the safest border in the history of our country. The border -- all he had to do was leave it. All he had to do was leave it. He decided to open up our border, open up our country to people that are from prisons, people that are from mental institutions, insane asylum, terrorists.\n\n\n\nWe have the largest number of terrorists coming into our country right now. All terrorists all over the world, not just in South America, all over the world. They come from the Middle East, everywhere, all over the world. They're pouring in. And this guy just left it open.\n\n\n\nAnd he didn't need legislation. Because I didn't have legislation, I said close the border. We had the safest border in history. In that final couple of months of my presidency, we had, according to Border Patrol, who is great -- and, by the way, who endorsed me for president. But I won't say that. But they endorsed me for president. Brandon, just speak to him.\n\n\n\nBut look, we had the safest border in history. Now we have the worst border in history. There's never been anything like it. And people are dying all over the place, including the people that are coming up in caravans.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Thank you, President Trump. President Biden?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: The only terrorist who has done anything crossing the border is one who came along and killed three under his administration, killed -- an al-Qaida person in his administration, killed three American soldiers -- killed three American soldiers. That's the only terrorist that's there.\n\n\n\nI'm not saying no terrorist ever got through. But the idea they're emptying their prisons, we're welcoming these people, that's simply not true. There's no data to support what he said. Once again, he's exaggerating. He's lying.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: President Trump, staying on the topic of immigration, you've said that you're going to carry out, quote, "the largest domestic deportation operation in American history," unquote.\n\n\n\nDoes that mean that you will deport every undocumented immigrant in America, including those who have jobs, including those whose spouses are citizens, and including those who have lived here for decades? And if so, how will you do it?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Just one second. He said we killed three people. The people we killed are al-Baghdadi and Soleimani, the two greatest terrorists -- biggest terrorists anywhere in the world, and it had a huge impact on everything, not just border, on everything.\n\n\n\nHe's the one that killed people with the bad water, including hundreds of thousands of people dying and also killing our citizens when they come in. We -- we are living right now in a rat's nest. They're killing our people in New York, in California, in every state in the union because we don't have borders anymore. Every state is now a border.\n\n\n\nAnd because of his ridiculous, insane and very stupid policies, people are coming in and they're killing our citizens at a level that we've never seen. We call it migrant crime. I call it Biden migrant crime. They're killing our citizens at a level that we've never seen before. And you're reading it, like these three incredible young girls over the last few days.\n\n\n\nOne of them, I just spoke to the mother, and they just had the funeral for this girl, 12 years old. This is horrible, what's taken place. What's taken place in our country -- we're literally an uncivilized country now. He doesn't want it to be. He just doesn't know.\n\n\n\nHe opened the borders, nobody's ever seen anything like. And we have to get a lot of these people out and we have to get them out fast, because they're going to destroy our country.\n\n\n\nJust take a look at where they're living. They're living in luxury hotels in New York City and other places. Our veterans are on the street. They're dying, because he doesn't care about our veterans. He doesn't care. He doesn't like the military, at all. And he doesn't care about our veterans.\n\n\n\nNobody had been worse. I had the highest approval rating for veterans, taking care of the V.A. He has the worst. He's gotten rid of all the things that I approved -- Choice, that I got through Congress. All of the different things I approved, they abandoned.\n\n\n\nWe had, by far, the highest, and now it's down in less than half because he's done -- all these great things that we did -- and I think he did it just because I approved it, which is crazy. But he has killed so many people at our border by allowing --\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Thank you, President Trump.\n\n\n\nTRUMP: -- all of these people to come in.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: President Biden --\n\n\n\nTRUMP: And it's a very sad day in America.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: President Biden, you have the mic.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: Every single thing he said is a lie, every single one. For example, veterans are a hell of a lot better off since I passed the PACT Act. One million of them now have insurance, and their families have it. And their families have it, because what happened, whether was Agent Orange or burn pits, they're all being covered now. And he -- his group opposed that.\n\n\n\nWe're also in a situation where we have great respect for veterans. My -- my son spent a year in Iraq, living next to one of those burn pits, came back with stage four glioblastoma. I was recently in -- in -- in France for D-Day, and I spoke to all -- about those heroes that died. I went to the World War II cemetery -- World War I cemetery he refused to go to. He was standing with his four-star general, and he told him -- he said, "I don't want to go in there because they're a bunch of losers and suckers."\n\n\n\nMy son was not a loser. He was not a sucker. You're the sucker. You're the loser.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: President Trump?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: First of all, that was a made-up quote, "suckers and losers." They made it up. It was in a third-rate magazine that's failing, like many of these magazines. He made that up. He put it in commercials. We've notified 'em.\n\n\n\nWe had 19 people that said I didn't say it. And think of this, who would say -- I'm at a cemetery, or I'm talking about our veterans -- because nobody's taken better care -- I'm so glad this came up, and he brought it up. There's nobody that's taken better care of our soldiers than I have.\n\n\n\nTo think that I would, in front of generals and others, say suckers and losers -- we have 19 people that said it was never said by me. It was made up by him, just like Russia, Russia, Russia was made up, just like the 51 intelligence agents are made up, just like the new thing with the 16 economists are talking.\n\n\n\nIt's the same thing. Fifty-one intelligence agents said that the laptop was Russia disinformation. It wasn't. That came from his son, Hunter. It wasn't Russia disinformation. He made up the suckers and losers, so he should apologize to me right now.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: You had a four-star general stand at your side, who was on your staff, who said you said it, period. That's number one.\n\n\n\nAnd, number two, the idea -- the idea that I have to apologize to you for anything along the lines. We've done more for veterans than any president has in American history -- American history. And they now -- and their family. The only sacred obligation we have as a country is to care for our veterans when they come home, and their families, and equip them when they go to war.\n\n\n\nThat's what we're doing. That's what the V.A. is doing now. They're doing more for veterans than ever before in our history.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: All right. Thank you so much.\n\n\n\nBASH: Let's move to the topic of foreign policy. I want to begin with Russia's war against Ukraine, which is now in its third year.\n\n\n\nFormer President Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin says he'll only end this war if Russia keeps the Ukrainian territory it has already claimed and Ukraine abandons its bid to join NATO.\n\n\n\nAre Putin's terms acceptable to you?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: First of all, our veterans and our soldiers can't stand this guy. They can't stand him. They think he's the worst commander in chief, if that's what you call him, that we've ever had. They can't stand him. So let's get that straight. And they like me more than just about any of them. And that's based on every single bit of information.\n\n\n\nAs far as Russia and Ukraine, if we had a real president, a president that knew -- that was respected by Putin, he would have never -- he would have never invaded Ukraine. A lot of people are dead right now, much more than people know.\n\n\n\nYou know, they talk about numbers. You can double those numbers, maybe triple those numbers. He did nothing to stop it. In fact, I think he encouraged Russia from going in.\n\n\n\nI'll tell you what happened. He was so bad with Afghanistan; it was such a horrible embarrassment, most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, that when Putin watched that and he saw the incompetence that he should -- he should have fired those generals like I fired the one that you mentioned. And so he's got no love lost. But he should have fired those generals.\n\n\n\nNo general got fired for the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, Afghanistan, where we left billions of dollars of equipment behind; we lost 13 beautiful soldiers and 38 soldiers were obliterated. And by the way, we left people behind too. We left American citizens behind.\n\n\n\nWhen Putin saw that, he said, you know what, I think we're going to go in and maybe take my -- this was his dream. I talked to him about it, his dream. The difference is he never would have invaded Ukraine. Never. Just like Israel would have never been invaded in a million years by Hamas. You know why? Because Iran was broke with me. I wouldn't let anybody do business with them. They ran out of money. They were broke. They had no money for Hamas. They had no money for anything. No money for terror.\n\n\n\nThat's why you had no terror at all during my administration. This place, the whole world is blowing up under him.\n\n\n\nBASH: President Biden.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: I've never heard so much malarkey in my whole life. Look, the fact of the matter is that we're in a situation where -- let's take the last point first, Iran attacked American troops, killed, caused brain damage for a number of these troops, and he did nothing about it. Recently, when he was president, they attacked. He said, they're just having headaches. That's all it is. We didn't do a thing when the attack took place. Number one.\n\n\n\nNumber two, we got over 100,000 Americans and others out of Afghanistan during that airlift. Number three, we found ourselves in a situation where, if you take a look at what Trump did in Ukraine, he's -- this guy told Ukraine -- told Trump, do whatever you want and do whatever you want. And that's exactly what Trump did to Putin, encouraged him, do whatever you want. And he went in.\n\n\n\nAnd listen to what he said when he went in, he was going to take Kyiv in five days, remember? Because it's part of the old Soviet Union. That's what he wanted to re-establish Kyiv. And he in fact, didn't do it at all. He didn't -- wasn't able to get it done. And they've lost over -- they've lost thousands and thousands of troops, 500,000 troops.\n\n\n\nBASH: Thank you. President Trump --\n\n\n\nTRUMP: I never said that.\n\n\n\nBASH: -- come back to you for one minute. I just want to go back to my original question, which is, are Putin's terms acceptable to you, keeping the territory in Ukraine?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: No, they're not acceptable. No, they're not acceptable. But look, this is a war that never should have started. If we had a leader in this war, he led everybody along. He's given $200 billion now or more to Ukraine. He's given $200 billion. That's a lot of money. I don't think there's ever been anything like it. Every time that Zelenskyy comes to this country, he walks away with $60 billion dollars, he's the greatest salesman ever.\n\n\n\nAnd I'm not knocking him, I'm not knocking anything. I'm only saying, the money that we're spending on this war, and we shouldn't be spending, it should have never happened. I will have that war settled between Putin and Zelenskyy as president-elect before I take office on January 20th. I'll have that war settled.\n\n\n\nPeople being killed so needlessly, so stupidly, and I will get it settled and I'll get it settled fast before I take office.\n\n\n\nBASH: President Biden, you have a minute.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: The fact is that Putin is a war criminal. He's killed thousands and thousands of people. And he has made one thing clear, he wants to re-establish what was part of the Soviet Empire, not just a piece, he wants all of Ukraine. That's what he wants. And then do you think he'll stop there? Do you think he'll stop when he -- if he takes Ukraine? What do you think happens to Poland? What do you think of Belarus? What do you think happens to those NATO countries?\n\n\n\nAnd so, if you want a war, you ought to find out what he's going to do. Because if, in fact, he does what he says and walks away -- by the way, all that money we give Ukraine and from weapons we make here in the United States, we give them the weapons, not the money at this point. And our NATO allies have produced as much funding for Ukraine as we have. That's why it's -- that's why we're strong.\n\n\n\nBASH: Thank you. Moving on to the Middle East. In October, Hamas attacked Israel, killing more than a thousand people and taking hundreds of hostages. Among those held and thought to still be alive are five Americans. Israel's response has killed thousands of Palestinians and created a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.\n\n\n\nPresident Biden, you've put forward a proposal to resolve this conflict. But so far, Hamas has not released the remaining hostages and Israel is continuing its military offensive in Gaza. So, what additional leverage will you use to get Hamas and Israel to end the war? You have two minutes.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: Number one, everyone from the United Nations Security Council straight through to the G7 to the Israelis and Netanyahu himself have endorsed the plan I put forward, endorsed the plan I put forward, which has three stages to it.\n\n\n\nThe first stage is to treat the hostages for a ceasefire. Second phase is a ceasefire with additional conditions. The third phase is know the end of the war. The only one who wants the war to continue is Hamas, number one. They're the only ones standing down (ph).\n\n\n\nWe're still pushing hard from -- to get them to accept. In the meantime, what's happened in Israel? We're finally -- the only thing I've denied Israel was 2,000-pound bombs. They don't work very well in populated areas. They kill a lot of innocent people. We are providing Israel with all the weapons they need and when they need them. And by the way, I'm the guy that organized the world against Iran when they had a full-blown kind of ballistic missile attack on Israel. No one was hurt. No one Israeli was accidentally killed. And it stopped. We saved Israel. We are the biggest producer of support for Israel than anyone in the world. And so, that's -- they are two different things.\n\n\n\nHamas cannot be allowed to be continued. We continue to send our experts and our intelligence people to how they can get Hamas like we did Bin Laden. You don't have to do it. And by the way, they've been greatly weakened, Hamas, greatly weakened, and they should be. They should be eliminated. But, you got to be careful for what you use these certain weapons among population centers.\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Just going back to Ukraine for one second. We have an ocean separating us. The European nations together have spent $100 billion or maybe more than that, less than us. Why doesn't he call them so you got to put up your money like I did with NATO? I got them to put up hundreds of billions of dollars. The Secretary General of NATO said Trump did the most incredible job I've ever seen. You wouldn't -- they wouldn't have any -- they were going out of business. We were spending -- almost 100 percent of the money was paid by us. He didn't do that. He is getting all -- you got to ask these people to put up the money. We're over $100 billion more spent, and it has a bigger impact on them, because of location, because we have an ocean in between.\n\n\n\nYou got to ask him, as far as Israel and Hamas, Israel is the one that wants to go. He said the only one who wants to keep going is Hamas. Actually, Israel is the one, and you should them go and let them finish the job. He doesn't want to do it. He has become like a Palestinian. But, they don't like him because he is a very bad Palestinian. He is a weak one.\n\n\n\nBASH: President Biden, you have a minute.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: I've never heard so much foolishness. This a guy who wants to get out of NATO. You're going to stay in NATO or you're going to pull out of NATO? The idea that we have -- our strength lies in our alliances as well. It may be a big ocean, but we're ever able to avoid a war in Europe, a major war in Europe? What happens if in fact you have Putin continue to go into NATO? We have an Article Five agreement, attack on one is attack on all. You want to start the nuclear war he keeps talking about. Go ahead. Let Putin go in and control Ukraine and then move on to Poland and other places. See what happens then.\n\n\n\nHe has no idea what the hell he is talking about. And by the way, I got 50 other nations around the world to support Ukraine, including Japan and South Korea, because they understand that this was this -- this kind of dislocation has a serious threat to the whole world peace. No major war in Europe has ever been able to be contained just to Europe.\n\n\n\nBASH: President Trump, just a follow-up, would you support the creation of an independent Palestinian state in order to achieve peace in the region?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: I'd have to see. But, before we do that, the problem we have is that we spend all the money. So, they kill us on trade. I made great trade deals with the European nations, because if you add them up, they're about the same size economically. Their economy is about the same size as the United States. And they were with (ph) no cars. No. They don't want anything that we have. But, we're supposed to take their cars, their food, their everything, their agriculture. I changed that.\n\n\n\nBut, the big thing I changed is they don't want to pay. And the only reason that he can play games with NATO is because I got them to put up hundreds of billions of dollars. I said, and he is right about this, I said, no, I'm not going to support NATO if you don't pay. They asked me that question. Would you guard us against Russia at a very secret meeting of the 28 states at that time, nations at that time? And they said, no, if you don't pay, I won't do that. And you know what happened? Billions and billions of dollars came flowing in the next day and the next months. But now, we're in the same position. We're paying everybody's bills.\n\n\n\nBASH: Thank you.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Let's turn to the issue of democracy. Former President Trump, I want to ask you about January 6, 2021. After you rallied your supporters that day, some of them stormed the Capitol to stop the constitutionally mandated counting of electoral votes. As President, you swore an oath to quote, "preserve, protect and defend", unquote, the Constitution. What do you say to voters who believe that you violated that oath through your actions and inaction on January 6 and worry that you'll do it again?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Well, I don't think too many believe that. And let me tell you about January 6. On January 6, we had a great border, nobody coming through, very few. On January 6, we were energy independent. On January 6, we had the lowest taxes ever.\n\n\n\nWe had the lowest regulations ever. On January 6th, we were respected all over the world. All over the world, we were respected. And then he comes in and we're now laughed at. We're like a bunch of stupid people that -- what happened to the United States's reputation under this man's leadership is horrible, including weaponization, which I'm sure at some point you'll be talking about where he goes after his political opponent because he can't beat them fair and square.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: You have 80 seconds left. My question was, what do you say to those voters who believe that you violated your constitutional oath through your actions, inaction on January 6th, 2021, and worried that you'll do it again?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Well, I didn't say that to anybody. I said peacefully and patriotically. And Nancy Pelosi, if you just watched the news from two days ago, on tape to her daughter, who's a documentary filmmaker, they say, what she's saying, oh, no, it's my responsibility, I was responsible for this. Because I offered them 10,000 soldiers or National Guard. And she turned them down. And the mayor of -- in writing, by the way, the mayor, in writing turned it down, the mayor of D.C., they turned it down. I offered 10,000 because I could see -- I had virtually nothing to do.\n\n\n\nThey asked me to go make a speech. I could see what was happening. Everybody was saying they're going to be there on January 6th. They're going to be there. And I said, you know what, that's a lot of people coming, you could feel it. You could feel it too. And you could feel it. And I said, they ought to have some National Guard or whatever. And I offered it to her. And she now admits that she turned it down. And it was the same day. She was -- I don't know, you can't be very happy with her daughter because it made her into a liar. She said, I take full responsibility for January 6th.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: President Biden?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: Look, he encouraged those folks to go up on Capitol Hill, number one. I sat in that dining room off the Oval Office -- he sat there for three hours, three hours watching, begging, being begged by his vice president and a number of his colleagues and Republicans as well to do something, to call for a stop, to end it. Instead, he talked -- they've talked about these people being patriots and -- and great patrons of America.\n\n\n\nIn fact, he says he'll not forgive them for what they've done. They've been convicted. He says he wants to commute their sentences and say that, no, he went to every single court in the nation, I don't know how many cases, scores of cases, including the Supreme Court. And they said they said -- they said, no, no, this guy, this guy is responsible for doing what is being -- was done. He didn't do a damn thing. And these people should be in jail. And they should be the ones who are being held accountable. And he wants to let them all out.\n\n\n\nAnd now he says if he loses again, such a whiner that he is, that there could be a bloodbath.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Thank you, President Biden.\n\n\n\nPresident Trump?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: What they've done to some people that are so innocent, you ought to be ashamed of yourself, what you have done, how you've destroyed the lives of so many people. When they ripped down Portland, when they ripped down many other cities, you go to Minnesota, Minneapolis, what they've done there with the fires all over the city, if I didn't bring in the National Guard, that city would have been destroyed.\n\n\n\nWhen you look at all of the -- they took over big chunks of Seattle. I was all set to bring in the National Guard. They heard that. They saw them coming and they left immediately. What he said about this whole subject is so off. Peacefully patriotic.\n\n\n\nOne other thing, the “unselect committee,” which is basically two horrible Republicans that are all gone now, out of office, and Democrats, all Democrats, they destroyed and deleted all of the information they found because they found out we were right. We were right. And they deleted and destroyed all of the information. They should go to jail for that.\n\n\n\nIf a Republican did that, they'd go to jail.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Thank you, President Trump.\n\n\n\nPresident Biden, I want to give you a minute.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: The only person on this stage that is a convicted felon is the man I'm looking at right now. And the fact of the matter is he is -- what he's telling you is simply not true. The fact is that there was no effort on his part to stop what was going on up on Capitol Hill. And all those people, every one of those who were convicted deserves to be convicted. The idea that they didn't kill somebody, just went in and broke down doors, broke the windows, occupied offices, turned over desks, turned them over, statues, the idea that those people are patriots? Come on.\n\n\n\nWhen I asked him about first of two debates we had -- debates we had the first time around, I said, will you denounce the Proud Boys. He said, no, I'll tell them stand by. The idea he's refusing -- will you denounce these guys? Will you denounce the people we're talking about now? You denounce the people who attacked that Capitol? What are you going to do?\n\n\n\nTAPPER: I'm going to give you a -- a minute, President Trump, for a follow-up question I have. After a jury convicted you of 34 felonies last month, you said if re-elected, you would, quote, “have every right to go after,” unquote, your political opponents. You just talked about members of the Select Committee on January 6th going to jail.\n\n\n\nYour main political opponent is standing on stage with you tonight.\n\n\n\nCan you clarify exactly what it means about you feeling you have every right to go after your political opponents?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Well, I said my retribution is going to be success. We're going to make this country successful again because right now it's a failing nation.\n\n\n\nMy retribution is going to be success. But when he talks about a convicted felon, his son is a convicted felon at a very high level. His son is convicted. Going to be convicted probably numerous other times.\n\n\n\nHe should have been convicted before, but his Justice Department let the statute of limitations lapse on the most important things. But he could be a convicted felon as soon as he gets out of office.\n\n\n\nJoe could be a convicted felon with all of the things that he's done. He's done horrible things.\n\n\n\nAll of the death caused at the border, telling the Ukrainian people that, we're going to want a billion dollars or you change the prosecutor. Otherwise, you're not getting a billion dollars.\n\n\n\nIf I ever said that, that's quid pro quo. That -- we're not going to do anything. We're not going to give you a billion dollars unless you change your prosecutor having to do with his son.\n\n\n\nThis man is a criminal. This man -- you're lucky. You're lucky. I did nothing wrong. We'd have a system that was rigged and disgusting. I did nothing wrong.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Thank you, President Trump.\n\n\n\nPresident Biden, you have said, I'm coming right to you, sir. You -- well, you want to respond? Go ahead. I'll give you a minute to respond.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: The idea that I did anything wrong relative to what you're talking about is outrageous. It's simply a lie, number one.\n\n\n\nNumber two, the idea that you have a right to seek retribution against any American, just because you're a president, is wrong, is simply wrong. No president's ever spoken like that before. No president in our history has spoken like that before.\n\n\n\nNumber three, the crimes that you are still charged with. And think of all the civil penalties you have. How many billions of dollars do you owe in civil penalties for molesting a woman in public, for doing a whole range of things, of having sex with a porn star on the night -- and while your wife was pregnant?\n\n\n\nI mean, what are you talking about? You have the morals of an alley cat.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Give you a minute, sir.\n\n\n\nTRUMP: I didn't have sex with a porn star, number one.\n\n\n\nNumber two, that was a case that was started and moved. They moved a high-ranking official, a DOJ, into the Manhattan D.A.'s office to start that case. That case is going to be appealed in one.\n\n\n\nWe had a very terrible judge, horrible judge, Democrat. The prosecutor were all high-ranking Democrats appointed people and the -- both the civil and a criminal.\n\n\n\nHe basically went after his political opponent because he thought it was going to damage me. But when the public found out about these cases, because they understand it better than he does, he has no idea what these cases are, but when he -- they -- when they found out about these cases, you know what they did? My poll numbers went up way up. You know that because you're reporting it. And we took in more money in the last two weeks than we've ever taken in the history of any campaign.\n\n\n\nI don't think any campaign has ever taken hundreds of millions of dollars came pouring in because the public knows it's a scam and it's a guy that's after his political opponent because he can't win fair and square.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Thank you, President Trump.\n\n\n\nPresident Biden, you have said, quote, Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans are determined to destroy American democracy.\n\n\n\nDo you believe that the tens of millions of Americans who are likely to vote for President Trump will be voting against American democracy?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: The more they know about what he's done, yes. The more they know about what he's done.\n\n\n\nAnd there's a lot more coming. He's got a lot of cases around the road coming around. He's got -- he's got a whole range of issues he has to face. I don't know what the juries will do, but I do know -- I do know he has a real problem.\n\n\n\nAnd so the fact that -- could you ever think you're hearing any president say that, I'm going to seek retribution? Do you ever hear any president say that, I thought it would write some good ideas?\n\n\n\nWhat got me involved to run in the first place after my son had died, I decided -- in Iraq -- because of Iraq. I said, I wasn't going to run again, until I saw what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia. People coming out of the woods carrying swastikas on torches and singing the same anti-Semitic bile they sang back in Germany.\n\n\n\nAnd what did -- and the young woman got killed, they spoke to the mother. And she -- they asked him, they said, what -- well, what do you think of those people? The people who wanted to get killed, the ones who tried to stop it, and the ones who said, I think they're fine people on both sides.\n\n\n\nWhat American president would ever say, Nazis coming out of fields, carrying torches, singing the same anti-Semitic bile, carrying swastikas, were fine people.\n\n\n\nThis is a guy who says Hitler's done some good things. I'd like to know what they are. The good things Hitler's done, that's what he said. This guy has no sense of American democracy.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: President Trump.\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Jake, both of you know that story has been totally wiped out because when you see the sentence, it said 100 percent exoneration on there. So he just keeps it going.\n\n\n\nHe says he ran because of Charlottesville. He didn't run because of Charlottesville. He ran because it was his last chance at -- he's not equipped to be president. You know it and I know it.\n\n\n\nIt's ridiculous. We have a debate. We're trying to justify his presidency.\n\n\n\nHis presidency, his -- without question, the worst president, the worst presidency in the history of our country. We shouldn't be having a debate about it. There's nothing to debate.\n\n\n\nHe made up the Charlottesville story and you'll see it's debunked all over the place. Every anchor has -- every reasonable actor has debunked it.\n\n\n\nAnd just the other day it came out where it was fully debunked. It's a nonsense story. He knows that.\n\n\n\nAnd he didn't run because of Charlottesville. He used that as an excuse to run.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: President Biden?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: And debunk. It happened. All you have to do is listen to what was said at the time.\n\n\n\nAnd the idea that somehow that's the only reason I ran. I ran because I was worried a guy like this guy can get elected.\n\n\n\nIf he thought they were good people coming out of that all -- that for us, carrying those -- those woods, carrying those torches, then he didn't deserve to be president, didn't deserve to be president at all.\n\n\n\nAnd the idea that he's talking about all of this being fabricated, we saw it with our own eyes. We saw what happened on January 6. We saw the people breaking to the windows. We saw people occupying there.\n\n\n\nHis own vice president -- look, there's a reason why 40 of his 44 top cabinet officers refused endorsing this time. His vice president hasn't endorsed him this time.\n\n\n\nSo, why? Why? They know him well. They serve with them. Why are they not endorsing him?\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Thank you, President Biden.\n\n\n\nWe're going to be right back with more from the CNN presidential debate.\n\n\n\n(COMMERCIAL BREAK)\n\n\n\nBASH: Welcome back to the CNN Presidential Debate live from Georgia.\n\n\n\nLet's talk about persistent challenges you both faced in your first terms, and you'd certainly face again in a second term. President Biden, while black unemployment dropped to a record low under your presidency, black families still earn far less than white families.\n\n\n\nBlack mothers are still three times more likely to die for pregnancy related causes. And black Americans are imprisoned at five times the rate of white Americans. What do you say to black voters who are disappointed that you haven't made more progress?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: They acknowledge he made a lot of progress, number one. The facts of the matter is more small black businesses that have been started in any time in history. Number two, the wages of black -- black unemployment is the lowest level of spend in a long, long time. Number three, we find them -- they're trying to provide housing for black Americans and dealing with segregation that exists among these corporate -- these corporate operations that collude to keep people out of their houses.\n\n\n\nAnd in addition to that, we find that the impact of, on the -- the choice that black families have to make relative to childcare is incredibly difficult. When we did the first major piece of legislation in the past, I was able to reduce black childcare costs. I cut them in half, in half. We've got to make sure we provide for childcare costs. We've got to make sure -- because when you provide that childcare protections, you increase economic growth because more people can be in the -- in the job market.\n\n\n\nSo there's more to be done, considerably more to be done, but we've done a great deal so far and I'm not letting up and they know it.\n\n\n\nBASH: You have 49 seconds left. What do you say to black voters who are disappointed with the progress so far?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: I say, I don't blame them for being disappointed. Inflation is still hurting them badly. For example, I provided for the idea that any black family, first time home buyer should get a $10,000 tax credit to be able to buy their first home so they can get started.\n\n\n\nI made sure that we're in a situation where all those black families and those black individuals who provided had to take out student loans that were ballooning, that if they were engaged in nursing and anything having to do with volunteerism, if they paid their bills for 10 years on their student debt, all the rest was forgiven after 10 years. Millions have benefited from that and we're going to do a whole lot more for black families.\n\n\n\nBASH: Thank you. President Trump?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: And he caused the inflation. He's blaming inflation. And he's right, it's been very bad. He caused the inflation and it's killing black families and Hispanic families and just about everybody. It's killing people. They can't buy groceries anymore. They can't.\n\n\n\nYou look at the cost of food where it's doubled and tripled and quadrupled. They can't live. They're not living anymore. He caused this inflation.\n\n\n\nI gave him a country with no, essentially no inflation. It was perfect. It was so good. All he had to do is leave it alone. He destroyed it with his green news scam and all of the other -- all this money that's being thrown out the window.\n\n\n\nHe caused inflation. As sure as you're sitting there, the fact is that his big kill on the black people is the millions of people that he's allowed to come in through the border. They're taking black jobs now and it could be 18. It could be 19 and even 20 million people. They're taking black jobs and they're taking Hispanic jobs and you haven't seen it yet, but you're going to see something that's going to be the worst in our history.\n\n\n\nBASH: Thank you. President Biden?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: There was no inflation when I became president. You know why? The economy was flat on its back. 15% unemployment, he decimated the economy, absolutely decimated the economy. That's why there was no inflation at the time.\n\n\n\nThere were no jobs. We provided thousands of millions of jobs for individuals who were involved communities, including minority communities. We made sure that they have health insurance. We have covered with the ACA has increased. I made sure that they're $8,000 per person in the family to get written off in health care, but this guy wants to eliminate that. They tried 50 times. He wants to get rid of the ACA again, and they're going to try again if they win.\n\n\n\nWe find ourselves in a position where the idea that we're not doing any -- I put more -- we put more police on the street than any administration has. He wants to cut the cops. We're providing for equity, equity, and making sure people have a shot to make it. There is a lot going on. But, on inflation, he caused it by his tremendous amount of seasons in the way he handled the pandemic.\n\n\n\nBASH: Thank you. Another persistent challenge is the climate crisis. 2023 was the hottest year in recorded history, and communities across the country are confronting the devastating effects of extreme heat, intensifying wildfires, stronger hurricanes, and rising sea levels.\n\n\n\nFormer President Trump, you've vowed to end your opponent's climate initiatives. But, will you take any action as President to slow the climate crisis?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Well, let me just go back to what he said about the police, how close the police are to him. Almost every police group in the nation from every state is supporting Donald J. Trump, almost every police group. And what he has done to the black population is horrible, including the fact that for 10 years he called them super predators. We can't, in the 1990s (ph), we can't forget that. Super predators was his name. And he called it to them for 10, and they've taken great offense at it, and now they see it happening.\n\n\n\nBut, when they see what I did for criminal justice reform and for the historically black colleges and universities, where I funded them and got them all funded, and the opportunity zones with Tim. As you know, Tim Scott was -- incredibly did a great job, a great Senator from South Carolina. He came to me with the idea and it was a great idea. It's one of the most successful economic development acts ever in the country, opportunity zones. And the biggest beneficiary are blacks. And that's why we have the best numbers with them. And maybe ever, if they're saying ever, I read this morning, wherever, the best numbers, he has lost much of the black population because he has done a horrible job for black people. He has also done a horrible job for Hispanics.\n\n\n\nBut, why do you see these millions of people pouring into our country and they're going to take the jobs? And it's already started. And you haven't seen anything yet. It's a disaster.\n\n\n\nBASH: 38 seconds left, President Trump. Will you take any action as President to slow the climate crisis?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: So, I want absolutely immaculate clean water and I want absolutely clean air, and we had it. We had H2O. We had the best numbers ever. And we did -- we were using all forms of energy, all forms, everything. And yet, during my four years, I had the best environmental numbers ever. And my top environmental people gave me that statistic just before I walked on the stage, actually.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: I don't know where the hell he has been. The idea that, Dana, he said is true. I've passed the most extensive, it was the extensive climate change legislation in history, in history. We find ourselves -- and by the way, black colleges, I came up with $50 billion for HBCUs, historic black universities and colleges, because they don't have the kind of contributors that they have to build these laboratories and the like. Any black student is capable in college in doing any white student can do. They just have the money. But now, they'll be able to get those jobs in high tech.\n\n\n\nWe're in a situation where the idea that he kind of is claiming to have done something that had the cleanest water, the cleanest water? He had not done a damn thing with the environment. He -- out of the Paris Peace Accord -- Climate Accord, I immediately joined it, because if we reach for 1.5 degrees Celsius at any one point, well, there is no way back. The only existential threat to humanity is climate change. And he didn't do a damn thing about it. He wants to undo all that I've done.\n\n\n\nTRUMP: The Paris Accord was going to cost us a trillion dollars, and China nothing, and Russia nothing, and India nothing. It was a rip off of the United States. And I ended it because I didn't want to waste that money because they treat us horribly. We were the only ones who was costing us money. Nobody else was paying into it. And it was a disaster.\n\n\n\nBut, everything that he said just now, I'll give you an example. I heard him say before insulin, I'm the one that got the insulin down for the seniors. I took care of the seniors. What he is doing is destroying all of our medical programs because the migrants coming in. They want everybody. And look, I have the biggest heart on the stage. I guarantee you that. And I want to take care of people. But, we're destroying our country. They're taking over our schools, our hospitals, and they're going to be taking over Social Security. He is destroying Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: Where does that come from? The idea is that we, in fact -- we were the only ones of consequence or not. We're not members of the Paris Accord. How can we do anything we're not able to, the United States can't get this under control? One of the largest polluters in the world. Number one, we're making significant progress. By 2035, we will have cut pollution in half. \n\n\n\nWe have -- we have made significant progress. And we're continuing to make progress.\n\n\n\nWe set up a Climate Corps for thousands of young people will learn how to deal with climate, just like the Peace Corps. And we're going to -- we're moving in directions that are going to significantly change the elements of the cause of pollution.\n\n\n\nBut the idea that he claims that he has the biggest heart up here and he's really concerned about -- about pollution and about climate, I've not seen any indication of that.\n\n\n\nAnd, by the way, with regard to prescription drugs, one company agreed that they would reduce the price to $35, which I was calling for -- one, voluntarily. I made sure every company in the world, every pharmaceutical company, cannot have to pay.\n\n\n\nBASH: Thank you.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: And, by the way...\n\n\n\nTAPPER: So every day millions of Americans struggle just to make ends meet. For many older Americans, Social Security provides a critical lifeline.\n\n\n\nPresident Biden, if nothing is done to Social Security, seniors will see their benefits cut in just over 10 years. Will you name tonight one specific step that you're willing to take to keep Social Security solvent?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: Yes, make the very wealthy begin to pay their fair share. Right now, everybody making under $170,000 pays 6 percent of their income, of their paycheck, every single time they get a paycheck, from the time of the first one they get when they're 18 years old.\n\n\n\nThe idea that they're going to -- I'm not -- I've been proposing that everybody, they pay -- millionaires pay 1 percent -- 1 percent. So no one after -- I would not raise the cost of Social Security for anybody under $400,000. After that, I begin to make the wealthy begin to pay their fair share, by increasing from 1 percent beyond, to be able to guarantee the program for life.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: So you still have 82 seconds left. Are there any other measures that you think that would be able to help keep Social Security solvent, or is just -- is that one enough?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: Well, that one enough will keep it solvent. But the biggest thing I'll do, if we defeat this man, because he wants to get rid of Social Security; he thinks that there's plenty to cut in Social Security. He's wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare, both times. And that's with -- and if you look at the program put forward by the House Republican Caucus that he, I believe, supports, is in fact wanting to cut it as well.\n\n\n\nThe idea that we don't need to protect our seniors is ridiculous. We put -- and, by the way, the American public has greater health care coverage today than ever before. And under the ACA, as I said, you're in a circumstance where 400,000 people -- I mean, 40 million people -- would not have insurance because they have a pre-existing condition. The only thing that allows them to have that insurance is the fact that they in fact are part of the ACA.\n\n\n\nAnd, by the way, the other thing is we're in a situation where I talk about education for black communities. I've raised the number, the amount of money for Pell grants by other $8,000 for anybody making under $70,000 a year, are going to be able to get $15,000 towards their tuition.\n\n\n\nIt's just -- he -- he just doesn't know what he's talking about.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Thank you, President Biden.\n\n\n\nPresident Trump?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: So I've dealt with politicians all my life. I've been on this side of the equation for the last eight years. I've never seen anybody lie like this guy. He lies -- I've never seen it. He could look you in the face. So -- and about so many other things, too.\n\n\n\nAnd we mentioned the laptop, We mentioned "Russia, Russia, Russia," "Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine." And everything he does is a lie. It's misinformation and disinformation. The "losers and suckers" story that he made up is a total lie on the military. It's a disgrace.\n\n\n\nBut Social Security, he's destroying it. Because millions of people are pouring into our country, and they're putting them on to Social Security; they're putting them on to Medicare, Medicaid. They're putting them in our hospitals. They're taking the place of our citizens.\n\n\n\nThey're -- what they're doing to the V.A., to our veterans, is unbelievable. Our veterans are living in the street and these people are living in luxury hotels. He doesn't know what he's doing. And it -- it's really coming back. I've never seen such anger in our country before.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: President Biden?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: The idea that veterans are not being taken care of, I told you before -- and, by the way, when I said "suckers and losers," he said -- he acknowledged after it that he fired that general. That general got fired because he's the one that acknowledged that that's what he said. He was the one standing with Trump when he said it, number one.\n\n\n\nNumber two, the idea that we're going to be in a situation where all these millions and millions, the way he talks about it, illegal aliens are coming into the country and taking away our jobs, there's a reason why we have the fastest-growing economy in the world, a reason why we have the most successful economy in the world. We're doing better than any other nation in the world.\n\n\n\nAnd, by the way, those 15 Nobel laureates, economists, they all said that if Trump is re-elected, we're likely to have a recession, and inflation is going to increasingly go up.\n\n\n\nAnd by the way, worst president in history. 159 presidential scholars voted him the worst president in the history of the United States of America.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: President Biden, thank you so much. Let's turn to the cost of childcare, which many American families struggle to afford.\n\n\n\nPresident Trump, both you and President Biden have tried to address this issue, but the average cost of childcare in this country has risen to more than $11,000 a year per child. For many families, the cost of childcare for two children is more than their rent. In your second term, what would you do to make childcare more affordable?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Just to go back. The general got fired because he was no good. And if he said that, that's why he made it up. But we have 19 people that said I didn't say it, and they're very highly respected, much more so than him.\n\n\n\nThe other thing is, he doesn't fire people. He never fired people. I've never seen him fire anybody. I did fire a lot. I fired Comey because he was no good. I fired a lot of the top people at the FBI, drained the swamp. They were no good. Not easy to fire people. You'd pay a price for it, but they were no good. I inherited these people. I didn't put him there. I didn't put Comey there. He was no good. I fired him.\n\n\n\nThis guy hasn't fired anybody. He never fires. He should have fired every military man that was involved with that Afghan -- the Afghanistan horror show. The most embarrassing moment in the history of our country. He didn't fire?\n\n\n\nDid you fire anybody? Did you fire anybody that's on the border, that's allowed us to have the worst border in the history of the world? Did anybody get fired for allowing 18 million people, many from prisons, many from mental institutions? Did you fire anybody that allowed our country to be destroyed? Joe, our country is being destroyed as you and I sit up here and waste a lot of time on this debate. This shouldn't be a debate.\n\n\n\nHe is the worst president. He just said it about me because I said it. But look, he's the worst president in the history of our country. He's destroyed our country. Now, all of a sudden, he's trying to get a little tough on the border. He come out -- came out with a nothing deal, and it reduced it a little bit. A little bit, like this much. It's insignificant.\n\n\n\nHe wants open borders. He wants our country to either be destroyed or he wants to pick up those people as voters. And I don't think -- we just can't let it happen. If he wins this election, our country doesn't have a chance. Not even a chance of coming out of this rut. We probably won't have a country left anymore. That's how bad it is. He is the worst in history by far.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Thank you, President Trump. President Biden?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: We are the most admired country in the world. We're the United States of America. There's nothing beyond our capacity. We have the finest military in the history of the world. The finest in the history of the world. No one thinks we're weak. No one wants to screw around with us. Nobody. Number one.\n\n\n\nNumber two, the idea that we're talking about worst presidents. I wasn't joking. Look it up. Go online. 159 or 58, don't hold me the exact number, presidential historians. They've had meetings and they voted who's the worst president in American history. One through best to worst. They said he was the worst in all of American history. That's a fact. That's not conjecture. He can argue the wrong, but that's what they voted.\n\n\n\nThe idea that he is knowing (ph) -- doing anything to deal with child care. He did very -- virtually nothing to child care. We should significantly increase the child care tax credit. We should significantly increase the availability of women and men for child or single parents to be able to go back to work, and we should encourage businesses to hold -- to have child care facilities.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Thank you, President Biden. President Trump, the question was about what would you do to make child care more affordable? If you want to take your minute.\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Just you understand, we have polling. We have other things that do -- they rate him the worst because what he's done is so bad. And they rate me -- yes, I'll show you. I will show you. And they rate me one of the best. OK.\n\n\n\nAnd if I'm given another four years, I will be the best. I think I'll be the best. Nobody's ever created an economy like us. Nobody ever cut taxes like us. He's the only one I know. He wants to raise your taxes by four times. He wants to raise everybody's taxes by four times. He wants the Trump tax cuts to expire so everybody, including the two of you are going to pay four to five times. Nobody ever heard of this before.\n\n\n\nAll my life I'd grow up and I'd see politicians talking about cutting taxes. When we cut taxes, as I said, we did more business. Apple and all these companies, they were bringing money back into our country. The worst president in history by far, and everybody knows it.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: President Biden?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: Look, the fact of the matter is that he's dead wrong about it. He's increased the tariff -- he's increased -- he will increase the taxes on middle class people. I said I'd never raise a tax on anybody making less than $400,000. I didn't.\n\n\n\nBut this tariff -- these 10 percent tariffs, everything coming into the country, you know what the economists say? That's going to cost the average American $2,500 a year and more, because they're going to have to pay the difference in food and all the things that are very important.\n\n\n\nNumber two, he's in a situation where he talks about how he has not raised -- he somehow helped the middle class. The middle class has been devastated by you. Now you want a new tax cut of $5 trillion over the next ten years, which is going to fundamentally bankrupt the country. You had the largest deficit of any president in American history, number one.\n\n\n\nNumber two, you have not, in fact, made any contact, any progress with China. We are the lowest trade deficit with China since 2010.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Thank you, President Biden. Thank you, President Biden.\n\n\n\nLet's discuss an epidemic impacting millions of Americans that both of you have made a top priority in your first term, the opioid crisis. And for both of you, the number of overdose deaths in this country has gone up. Under your term, it went up. Under your term, it has gone up.\n\n\n\nFormer President Trump, despite the efforts that both of you have made, more than 100,000 Americans are dying from overdoses every year, primarily from fentanyl and other opioids. What will you do to help Americans right now in the throes of addiction, who are struggling to get the treatment they need?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: To finish up, we now have the largest deficit in the history of our country under this guy, we have the largest deficit with China. He gets paid by China. He's a Manchurian Candidate. He gets money from China. So I think he's afraid to deal with him or something.\n\n\n\nBut do you notice? He never took out my tariffs because we bring in so much money with the tariffs that I imposed on China. He never took them away. He can't because it's too much money. It's tremendous. And we saved our steel industries. And there was more to come, but he hasn't done that.\n\n\n\nBut he hasn't cut the tariffs because he can't, because it's too much money. But he's got the largest deficit in the history of our country and he's got the worst situation with China. China is going to own us if you keep allowing them to do what they're doing to us as a country. They are killing us as a country, Joe, and you can't let that happen. You're destroying our country.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: So, President Trump, you have 67 seconds left. The question was, what are you going to do to help Americans in the throes of addiction right now who are struggling to get the treatment they need?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Jake, we're doing very well at addiction until the COVID came along. We had the two-and-a-half, almost three years of like nobody's ever had before, any country in every way. And then we had to get tough. And it was -- the drugs pouring across the border, we're -- it started to increase.\n\n\n\nWe got great equipment. We bought the certain dog. That's the most incredible thing that you've ever seen, the way they can spot it. We did a lot. And we had -- we were getting very low numbers. Very, very low numbers.\n\n\n\nThen he came along. The numbers -- have you seen the numbers now? It's not only the 18 million people that I believe is even low, because the gotaways, they don't even talk about gotaways. But the numbers of -- the amount of drugs and human trafficking in women coming across our border, the worst thing I've ever seen at numbers -- nobody's ever seen under him because the border is so bad. But the number of drugs coming across our border now is the largest we've ever had by far.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: President Trump, thank you. President Biden?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: Fentanyl and the byproducts of fentanyl went down for a while. And I wanted to make sure we use the machinery that can detect fentanyl, these big machines that roll over everything that comes across the border, and it costs a lot of money. That was part of this deal we put together, this bipartisan deal.\n\n\n\nMore fentanyl machines, were able to detect drugs, more numbers of agents, more numbers of all the people at the border. And when we had that deal done, he went -- he called his Republican colleagues said don't do it. It's going to hurt me politically.\n\n\n\nHe never argued. It's not a good bill. It's a really good bill. We need those machines. We need those machines. And we're coming down very hard in every country in Asia in terms of precursors for fentanyl. And Mexico is working with us to make sure they don't have the technology to be able to put it together. That's what we have to do. We need those machines.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Thank you, President Biden. President Trump, and again, the question is about Americans in the throes of addiction right now struggling to get the treatment they need.\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Because this does pertain to it. He ended remain in Mexico, he ended catch and release. I made the catch and release in Mexico, not catch and release here. We had so many things that we had done, hard negotiations with Mexico, and I got it all for nothing.\n\n\n\nIt's just like when you have a hostage, we always pay $6 billion for a -- every time we sees hostage. Now we have a hostage. A Wall Street Journal reporter, I think a good guy, and he's over there because Putin is laughing at this guy, probably asking for billions of dollars for the reporter.\n\n\n\nI will have him out very quickly, as soon as I take office, before I take office. I said by literally as soon as I win the election, I will have that reporter out. He should have had him out a long time ago. But Putin is probably asking for billions and billions of dollars because this guy pays it every time.\n\n\n\nWe had two cases where we paid $6 billion for five people. I got 58 people out and I paid essentially nothing.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Thank you, President Trump.\n\n\n\nDana.\n\n\n\nBASH: Let's turn to concerns that voters have about each of you.\n\n\n\nPresident Biden, you would be 86 at the end of your second term. How do you address concerns about your capability to handle the toughest job in the world well into your 80s?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: Well, first of all, I spent half my career being -- being criticized being the youngest person in politics. I was the second-youngest person ever elected to the United States Senate. And now I'm the oldest. This guy's three years younger and a lot less competent. I think that just look at the record. Look what I've done. Look how I've turned around the horrible situation he left me.\n\n\n\nAs I said, 50 million new jobs, 800,000 manufacturing jobs, more investment in America, over millions -- billions of dollars in private investment and -- and enterprises that we are growing. We've -- by the way, we brought an awful a lot of people -- the whole idea of computer chips. We used to have 40 percent of the market. We invented those chips. And we lost it because he was sending people to cheap -- to find the cheapest jobs overseas and to bring home a product.\n\n\n\nSo I went -- I went to South Korea. I convinced Samsung to invest billions of dollars here in the United States. And then guess what? Those fabs, they call them, to -- to build these chips, those fabs pay over $100,000. You don't need a college degree for them. And there's billions, about $40 billion already being invested and being built right now in the United States, creating significant jobs for Americans all over -- from all over the world.\n\n\n\nBASH: President Biden, you have 40 seconds left. Would you like to add anything?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: Yeah, I would. The idea that somehow we are this failing country, I never heard a president talk like this before. We -- we're the envy of the world. Name me a single major country president who wouldn't trade places with the United States of America. For all our problems and all our opportunities, we're the most progressive country in the world and getting things done. We're the strongest country in the world. We're country in the world who keeps our word and everybody trusts us, all of our allies.\n\n\n\nAnd our -- those who he cuddles up to, from Kim Jong-un who he sends love letters to, or Putin, et cetera, they don't want to screw around with us.\n\n\n\nBASH: Thank you.\n\n\n\nFormer President Trump, to follow up, you would be 82 at the end of your second term. What do you say to voters who have concerns about your capabilities to serve?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Well, I took two tests, cognitive tests. I aced them, both of them, as you know. We made it public. He took none. I'd like to see him take one, just one, a real easy one. Like go through the first five questions, he couldn't do it. But I took two cognitive tests. I took physical exams every year. And, you know, we knock on wood, wherever we may have wood, that I'm in very good health. I just won two club championships, not even senior, to regular club championships. To do that, you have to be quite smart and you have to be able to hit the ball along way. And I do it. He doesn't do it. He can't hit a ball 50 yards. He challenged me to a golf match. He can hit a ball 50 years.\n\n\n\nI think I'm a very good shape. I feel that I'm in as good a shape as I was 25, 30 years ago. Actually, I'm probably a little bit lighter. But I'm in as good a shape as I was years ago. I feel very good. I feel the same.\n\n\n\nBut I took -- I was willing to take a cognitive test. And you know what, if I didn't do well -- I aced them. Dr. Ronny Jackson, who's great guy, when he was White House doctor. And then I took another one, a similar one, and both -- one of them said they'd never seen anybody ace them.\n\n\n\nBASH: Thank you.\n\n\n\nPresident Biden?\n\n\n\nBIDEN: You're going to see he's six-foot-five and only 225 pounds -- or 235 pounds.\n\n\n\nTRUMP: (inaudible).\n\n\n\nBIDEN: Well, you said six-four, 200.\n\n\n\nTRUMP: (inaudible).\n\n\n\nBIDEN: Well, anyway, that's -- anyway, just take a look at what he says he is and take a look at what he is.\n\n\n\nLook, I'd be happy to have a driving contest with him. I got my handicap, which, when I was vice president, down to a 6.\n\n\n\nAnd by the way, I told you before I'm happy to play golf if you carry your own bag. Think you can do it?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: That's the biggest lie that he's a 6 handicap, of all.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: I was 8 handicap.\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Yeah.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: Eight, but I have -- you know how many...\n\n\n\nTRUMP: I've seen your swing, I know your swing.\n\n\n\n(CROSSTALK)\n\n\n\nBASH: President Trump, we're going to...\n\n\n\n(CROSSTALK)\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Let's not act like children.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: You are a child.\n\n\n\nBASH: To you, a specific concern that voters have about you. Will you pledge tonight that once all legal challenges have been exhausted that you will accept the results of this election regardless of who wins and you will say right now that political violence in any form is unacceptable?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Well, I shouldn't have to say that, but, of course, I believe that. It's totally unacceptable.\n\n\n\nAnd if you would see my statements that I made on Twitter at the time, and also my statement that I made in the Rose Garden, you would say it’s one of the strongest statements you’ve ever seen.\n\n\n\nIn addition to the speech I made, in front of, I believe, the largest crowd I’ve ever spoken to, and I will tell you, nobody ever talks about that. They talk about a relatively small number of people that went to the Capitol. And in many cases were ushered in by the police.\n\n\n\nAnd as Nancy Pelosi said, it was her responsibility, not mine. She said that loud and clear.\n\n\n\nBut the answer is, if the election is fair free, and I want that more than anybody.\n\n\n\nAnd I’ll tell you something -- I wish he was a great president because I wouldn’t be here right now. I’d be at one of my many places enjoying myself. I wouldn’t be under indictment because I wouldn’t have been his political appoint -- you know, opponent. Because he indicted me because I was his opponent.\n\n\n\nI wish he was a great president. I would rather have that.\n\n\n\nI wouldn’t be here. I don’t mind being here, but the only reason I’m here is he’s so bad as a president that I’m going to make America great again. We’re going to make America great again.\n\n\n\nWe’re a failing nation right now. We’re a seriously failing nation. And we’re a failing nation because of him.\n\n\n\nHis policies are so bad. His military policies are insane. They’re insane.\n\n\n\nThese are wars that will never end with him. He will drive us into World War Three and we’re closer to World War Three than anybody can imagine. We are very, very close to World War Three, and he’s driving us there.\n\n\n\nAnd Kim Jong Un, and President Xi of China -- Kim Jong Un of North Korea, all of these -- Putin -- they don’t respect them. They don’t fear him. They have nothing going with this gentleman and he’s going to drive us into World War Three.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: If you want a World War Three, let him follow (ph) and win, and let Putin say, do what you want to NATO -- just do what you want.\n\n\n\nThere’s a thing called Article Five, an attack on one is attack on all, a required response.\n\n\n\nThe idea -- the idea -- I can’t think of a single major leader in the world who wouldn’t trade place with what job I’ve done and what they’ve done because we are a powerful nation, we have wonderful piece (ph), because of the people, not me, because of the American people. They’re capable of anything and they step up when they’re needed.\n\n\n\nAnd right now, we’re needed. We’re needed to protect the world because our own safety is at stake.\n\n\n\nAnd again, you want to have war, just let Putin go ahead and take Kyiv, make sure they move on, see what happens in Poland, Hungary, and other places along that border. Then you have a war.\n\n\n\nBASH: President Trump, as I come back to you for a follow-up. The question was, will you accept the results of this election regardless of who wins?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Just to finish what he said, if I might, Russia -- they took a lot of land from Bush. They took a lot of land from Obama and Biden. They took no land, nothing from Trump, nothing.\n\n\n\nHe knew not to do it. He’s not going to play games with me. He knew that. I got along with him very well, but he knew not to play games.\n\n\n\nHe took nothing from me, but now, he’s going to take the whole thing from this man right here.\n\n\n\nThat’s a war that should have never started. It would’ve never started ever with me. And he’s going to take Ukraine and, you know, you asked me a question before, would you do this with -- he’s got us in such a bad position right now with Ukraine and Russia because Ukraine’s not winning that war.\n\n\n\nHe said, I will never settle until such time -- they’re running out of people, they’re running out of soldiers, they’ve lost so many people. It’s so sad.\n\n\n\nThey’ve lost so many people and they’ve lost those gorgeous cities with the golden domes that are 1,000-years-old, all because of him and stupid decisions.\n\n\n\nRussia would’ve never attacked if I were president.\n\n\n\nBASH: President Trump, the question was, will you accept the results of the election regardless of who wins? Yes or no, please?\n\n\n\nTRUMP: If it’s a fair and legal and good election -- absolutely. I would have much rather accepted these but the fraud and everything else was ridiculous that if you want, we’ll have a news conference on it in a week or we’ll have another one of these on -- in a week.\n\n\n\nBut I will absolutely -- there’s nothing I’d rather do. It would be much easier for me to do that than I’m running again. I wasn’t really going to run until I saw the horrible job he did. He’s destroying our country.\n\n\n\nI would be very happy to be someplace else, in a nice location someplace. And again, no indictments, no political opponent’s stuff, because it’s the only way he thinks he can win.\n\n\n\nBut unfortunately, it’s driven up by numbers and driven it up to a very high level, because the people understand it.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: Let’s see what your numbers are when this election is over.\n\n\n\nTRUMP: We’ll see.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: Let’s see. You’re a whiner. When you lost the first time, you continued to appeal and appeal to courts all across the country.\n\n\n\nNot one single court in America said any of your claims had any merit, state or local, none.\n\n\n\nBut you continue to provoke this lie about somehow there’s all this misrepresentation, all the stealing. There’s no evidence of that at all.\n\n\n\nAnd I tell you what? I doubt whether you’ll accept it because you’re such a whiner. The idea if you lose again, you’re accepting anything, you can’t stand the loss. Something snapped in you when you lost the last time.\n\n\n\nBASH: We’ll be right back with more from the CNN presidential debate live from Georgia.\n\n\n\n(COMMERCIAL BREAK)\n\n\n\nTAPPER: It is now time for the candidates to deliver their closing statements.\n\n\n\nAs predetermined by a coin toss, we’re going to begin with you, President Biden. You have two minutes.\n\n\n\nBIDEN: We’ve made significant progress from the debacle that was left by President Trump in his -- in his last term.\n\n\n\nWe find ourselves in a situation where, number one, we have to make sure that we have a fair tax system. I ask anyone out there in the audience, or anyone out watching this debate, do you think the tax system is fair?\n\n\n\nThe fact is that I said, nobody even making under $400,000 had a single penny increasing their taxes and it will not. And if I’m reelected, that’ll be the case again.\n\n\n\nBut this guy is -- has increased your taxes because of the deficit. Number one, he’s increased inflation because of the debacle he left after -- when he handled the pandemic. And he finds himself in a position where he now wants to tax you more by putting a 10 percent tariff on everything comes into the United States America.\n\n\n\nWhat I did, when, for example, he wants to get away with -- and get rid of the ability of Medicare to -- for the ability to -- for the -- us to be able to negotiate drug prices with big pharma companies.\n\n\n\nWell, guess what? We got it -- we got it down to 15 -- excuse me, $35 for insulin instead of $400. No more than $2,000 for every senior no matter what they -- how much prescription they need.\n\n\n\nYou know what that did? That reduced the federal deficit (ph) -- debt by $160 billion over 10 years because the government doesn’t have to pay the exorbitant prices.\n\n\n\nI’m going to make that available to every senior, all -- or go longer. It’s happening now, and everybody in America. He wants to get rid of that.\n\n\n\nWe have -- I’m going to make sure we have childcare. We’re going to significantly increase the credit people have for childcare. I’m going to make sure we do something about what we’re doing on lead pipes and all the things that are causing health problems for people across the country.\n\n\n\nWe’re going to continue to fight to bring down inflation and give people a break.\n\n\n\nTAPPER: Thank you, President Biden.\n\n\n\nPresident Trump, you now have two minutes for your closing statement.\n\n\n\nTRUMP: Like so many politicians, this man is just a complainer. He said we want to do this. We want to do that. We want to get rid of this tax, that tax, but he doesn’t do anything. He doesn’t do.\n\n\n\nAll he does is make our country unsafe by allowing millions and millions of people to pour in. Our military doesn’t respect him. We look like fools in Afghanistan.\n\n\n\nWe didn’t stop -- Israel, it was such a horrible thing that would have never happened. It should have never happened.\n\n\n\nIran was broke. Anybody that did business with Iran, including China, they couldn’t do business with the United States. They all passed.\n\n\n\nIran was broke. They had no money for Hamas or Hezbollah, for terror, no money whatsoever.\n\n\n\nAgain, Ukraine should have never happened.\n\n\n\nHe talks about all this stuff, but he didn’t do it. For three-and-a-half years, we’re living in hell. We have the Palestinians and we have everybody else rioting all over the place.\n\n\n\nYou talk about Charlottesville. This is 100 times Charlottesville, 1,000 times.\n\n\n\nThe whole country is exploding because of you, because they don’t respect you. And they have to respect their president and they don’t respect you throughout the world.\n\n\n\nWhat we did was incredible. We re -- rebuilt the military. We got the largest tax cut in history, the largest regulation cut in history.\n\n\n\nThe reason he’s got jobs is because I cut the regulations that gave jobs, but he’s putting a lot of those regulations back on.\n\n\n\nAll of the things that we’ve done, nobody’s ever -- never seen anything like -- even from a medical standpoint. Right to Try, where we can try Space Age materials instead of going to Asia or going to Europe and trying to get when you’re terminally ill.\n\n\n\nNow, you can go and you can get something. You signed a document. They’ve been trying to get it for 42 years.\n\n\n\nBut you know what we did for the military was incredible. Choice for our soldiers, where our soldiers, instead of waiting for three months to see a doctor, can go out and get themselves fixed up and readied up, and take care of themselves and they’re living. And that’s why I had the highest approval rating of the history of the V.A.\n\n\n\nSo, all of these things -- we’re in a failing nation, but it’s not going to be failing anymore. We’re going to make it great again.\n\n\n\nBASH: Thank you, former President Trump, President Biden.\n\n\n\nStay with us because we have full analysis of this debate. Anderson Cooper and Erin Burnett starts now on CNN.\n\n\n\nEND\n-----END-----CNN.SCRIPT-----\n\n--KEYWORD TAGS--\nTRUMP BIDEN DEBATE CNN PRESIDENTIAL \n

To put an end to Cold War thinking, we will reduce the role of nuclear weapons in our national security strategy and urge others to do the same." 12. Klaus and Obama with wives on red carpet STORYLINE: The White House said on Wednesday that the US and Russia are "very close" to signing a new nuclear arms treaty. A senior Kremlin official said on Wednesday that the United States and Russia have reached an agreement on "all documents" necessary to sign a new nuclear arms treaty, but stopped short of saying both sides were ready to sign. US officials have only said the final language is close. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs and a Kremlin official said a final agreement is not likely until Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev speak again, most likely in the coming days. The Kremlin source, speaking by telephone to The Associated Press, said the documents included the treaty and protocol. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said last week that the treaty was 20 pages long, with an extensive protocol attached. Czech officials announced earlier on Wednesday that Prague will host the signing of the new US-Russian treaty to reduce long-range nuclear weapons that would replace the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. Asked whether the announcement was premature, Gibbs said, "we believe that a new START treaty begins to take many important steps between the two greatest holders of those nuclear weapons, so I would anticipate that when we have something to sign it will be in Prague." It was in that city where Obama committed the United States last April to seeking "a world without nuclear weapons." As part of that strategy, he shook hands with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev last year on plans to reduce sharply their countries' nuclear stockpiles. Obama and Medvedev had hoped to enshrine new limits in a replacement for the 1991 START accord, but that treaty expired in December as the talks dragged on. The expired START treaty, signed by Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and former US President George H.W. Bush, required each country to cut its nuclear warheads by at least one-fourth, to about 6,000, and to implement procedures for verifying that each side was sticking to the agreement. Obama spent an hour on Wednesday in the White House Situation Room with Democratic Senator John Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Senator Richard Lugar, the committee's ranking Republican. Both would play major roles in Senate ratification of the emerging treaty.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Niall Ferguson, Professor of Economic History, Harvard University: "And the reason that they're not simply doing what we would like them to do is that they have good reason to be cautious about what could go wrong in their economy.

And you tell this to the computer industry, the electronic equipment industry in the United States, and parts industries, that they have to continue to wait and be destroyed as the textile industry was destroyed in this country. And we think we're going to solve all these problems diplomatically? I don't think that works." 10. SOUNDBITE: (English) Niall Ferguson, Professor of Economic History, Harvard University: "I think an important issue that's been raised in our discussion this morning is what's the best channel to go through might be, and we've expressed scepticism about legislative action, retaliatory tariffs for good reason. You may dismiss the parallel with the 1930s as somehow irrelevant, but I can assure you any further blows to global demand dealt by errors of US fiscal, monetary or trade policy, would harm your constituents even more severely than they've so far been harmed." 11. Cutaway of committee 12. SOUNDBITE: (English) Niall Ferguson, Professor of Economic History, Harvard University: "The main beneficiaries of ending the renminbi-dollar peg would not, in fact, be the United States, but would be China's trade competitors in emerging markets who are the real losers. They're the ones who have been losing market share when you look at the structure of US imports." 13. Wide of end of hearing STORYLINE: A panel of economic experts told a US Congressional hearing on Wednesday that China's undervaluation of its currency is distorting world markets and gives Beijing an unfair competitive advantage over trading partners. Members of the House Ways and Means Committee heard testimony from economists and an economic historian about the potential benefits and pitfalls of attempts to revalue the Chinese renminbi against the United States dollar. There was general agreement that Beijing is manipulating the value of the renminbi, or yuan as it is also known, against other currencies. Professor Niall Ferguson, an economic historian at Harvard University, said China's currency was "fundamentally misaligned" with the US dollar. China has come in for increasing criticism over its exchange rate policy, which keeps the renminbi pegged to the US dollar. Beijing faces rising pressure to ease the controls, which Washington and other trading partners say keep its currency undervalued, swelling its trade surplus and boosting exports. Fred Bergsten, Director of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, told the committee that Washington should "pursue an initiative" to deal with the problem. He said the worst of the global financial crisis was now over and an "effort with the Chinese, I think, would not be viewed as a wrecker to the world economy, or even to the markets." But Ferguson warned that China had "good reason to be cautious about what could go wrong in their economy" if the renminbi was revalued, and said it would be "bad news" for the whole world if China's economy suffered. He said there was "good reason" to be sceptical about taking legislative action or imposing "retaliatory tariffs" on Chinese exports to the US. "I can assure you any further blows to global demand dealt by errors of US fiscal, monetary or trade policy, would harm your constituents even more severely than they've so far been harmed," he said. US President Barack Obama has said he will press for an end to currency systems that he says depress export prices and hurt American companies. The four members of the expert panel said the US Congress should not attempt to legislate actions that might complicate the Obama administration's efforts to reach a currency parity agreement. One economist suggested that the undervalued renminbi was one reason companies were choosing to locate new investments in China. The committee was told that a revaluation of even as much as five percent might be presented as flexibility on the part of China, but that this would have no real significance in terms of the distortion of the markets. Several members of the panel pointed to estimates of increased unemployment in the United States as evidence of China's distortion of the market. China's central bank governor acknowledged earlier this month that Beijing was using its exchange-rate controls to cope with the global financial crisis and said it would be cautious about retreating from the policy. China has held the yuan steady against the US dollar since late 2008 in an apparent effort to help China's exporters compete abroad, though authorities have never openly confirmed that. Some American companies are pressing the US Congress to enact punitive tariffs on Chinese goods if Beijing fails to act. Critics say the yuan is undervalued by up to 40 percent. The yuan's value was tied to the dollar for decades, but Beijing broke that link in 2005 and allowed the currency to rise by about 20 percent through late 2008. That rise was halted after the global crisis hit.

Various of wreckage at Oslo port terminal, zoom into police at scene STORYLINE At least three people died and four more were injured when sixteen empty railway cars broke loose from a cargo train and crashed into a port terminal in Oslo, Norway, at high speed on Wednesday, according to officials and witnesses. The runaway train cars accelerated as they rolled downhill for about 3 miles (5 kilometres) before slamming into the terminal on the edge of the Oslo fjord, where some of them fell into the water, police and railroad officials said. Police and rescue workers were searching through the rubble of the shattered building and in the water for an additional missing worker. "We are continuing the search because one person is missing. We have confirmed that three have died, and four are injured. Out of those four, three were taken to the hospital and one to the casualty clinic," said Thor Langli, the task manager for Oslo Police. The victims had been working in or around the building, which collapsed from the impact, a police spokeswoman said. National broadcaster NRK aired images showing at least two train cars in the water and a collapsed one-storey concrete building. An eyewitness who works for a transport company at the port in the Sjursoeya district of Oslo said he heard a loud screech and looked out the window to see several empty cargo train cars speed past. Estimating their speed at more than 100 kilometres an hour (62 miles per hour), the witness said several cars derailed and one hit a dump truck. The driver was injured but conscious when rescue workers put him into an ambulance, he said. A police spokeswoman confirmed that the train cars were travelling "very fast" when they hit the port, but didn't know their exact speed. The runaway carriages struck several trucks and cars in the port area before crashing into the building that was used to register transport vehicles and cargo, the spokeswoman said. The Norwegian National Rail Administration said a group of train cars had come loose at the Alnabru cargo terminal, though it was not immediately clear how.

Acropolis seen through trees STORYLINE The sinking euro and a downgrade of Portugal's debt on Wednesday put renewed pressure on European leaders to come up with a bailout plan for Greece and stem the government debt crisis undermining their shared currency. The euro hit a 10-month low against the US dollar on Wednesday on the Portuguese downgrades and the uncertainty over Europe's dithering over Greece. Greece says it will need eurozone or IMF help if markets keep charging it painfully high costs to borrow. But agreement remained elusive as a Thursday summit approached. Markets increasingly expect any bailout for Greece to involve the International Monetary Fund - and EU governments are discussing whether they would permit that and add financial help from eurozone nations. The EU Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs, Olli Rehn, insisted that EU leaders must act now because the euro is "facing a critical litmus test" and the financial stability of the currency union is under threat. "It will be essential to reach a political decision on a European framework for coordinated and conditional assistance if needed and if requested," he said of the Greece bailout package. Greece's debt crisis has undermined the euro by showing that the rules supporting it have not prevented governments from overspending, hitting public accounts. Athens' woes are also putting pressure on other eurozone countries with troubled finances, such as Portugal and Spain. Germany is holding back a deal, reluctant to put taxpayer money on the line for Greece. But failure to help an indebted eurozone country would be an admission that Europe can't halt the crisis in its currency union. The latest vote of no confidence in vulnerable eurozone economies came with Fitch Ratings' downgrade on Wednesday of Portugal's debt. The credit ratings agency said Portugal's prospects for recovery were weaker than others in the eurozone and it faces problems shrinking its budget deficit. European stock markets had started the day off fairly brightly following big gains on Wall Street and a general advance in Asia, but the ongoing woes afflicting the euro dragged prices down by early afternoon. During Wednesday's trading, the euro fell to 1.3335 US dollars, its lowest level since last May. While US tourists in Greece and other euro countries were able to take advantage of the current exchange rate, calls for a solution to Greece's debt crisis were mounting. Fidel Peter Helmer, the chief of trading at private bank Hauck and Aufhaeuser, said a solution to the Greek issue would be "much appreciated." Helmer said the downgrading of Portugal's debt had compounded the euro's problems "because Portugal is a more important contestant than Greece." But he added that he thought the euro would stabilise if a solution was found. European diplomats speaking on condition of anonymity said Spain's Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero is heading efforts to get the 16 eurozone nations to meet separately on Thursday on the crisis surrounding Greece, in addition to the meeting by all 27 EU member governments. Eurozone leaders have only met once for a summit before at the height of the banking crisis in 2008. EU President Herman Van Rompuy is also asking for a eurozone summit, said another EU official. He met French President Nicolas Sarkozy in Paris on Wednesday, Sarkozy's office said. However, Germany is not keen, with a senior government official in Berlin saying a decision on aid for Greece should not be made at the summit. The German government wants the IMF to be "significantly involved" in any bailout because it believes that it could face a legal challenge from the country's powerful constitutional court unless it can prove that that any European or German aid is the last option left to Greece. A Greek government spokesman said on Wednesday that Greece was waiting for a detailed EU plan that would mean that Greece could borrow money when it needed to. He stressed that Greece was "not seeking financial help from anyone" but needed an option to avoid crippling interest rates that are undermining Greek efforts to shave (b) billions of euros from its budget this year. The countries that use the euro pledged last month to help Greece if the stability of the currency zone were threatened - but agreed no details. Germany says it doesn't need to fulfill that promise yet, especially not to save Greece from years of overspending and faking its budget numbers.

Pope waving goodbye as he leaves Saint Peter's square STORYLINE Pope Benedict XVI has accepted the resignation of Bishop John Magee, a former papal aide who stands accused of endangering children by failing to follow the Irish church's own rules on reporting suspected paedophile priests to police. Magee apologised to victims of any paedophile priests who were kept in parish posts since he took charge of the southwest Irish diocese of Cloyne in 1987. The 73-year-old Magee said in a statement on Wednesday: "To those whom I have failed in any way, or through any omission of mine have made suffer, I beg forgiveness and pardon." Iacopo Scaramuzzi, a Vatican journalist, said the pope's acceptance of Magee's resignation showed "that Pope Benedict XVI is taking this whole affair seriously" and is "taking concrete action." People on the streets of Rome welcomed the move, with one woman saying "this scandal must stop with the boys and girls, these children." The Vatican is on the defensive over ever-unfolding accusations that its leaders protected child abusers for decades in many countries, nowhere more so than Ireland, a predominantly Catholic country that once exported priests worldwide. Irish society is still debating the merits of an unprecedented letter from Benedict Saturday, which apologised for decades of unchecked child abuse by priests, nuns and other clerics. The letter criticised Irish bishops, promised a Vatican inspection of unspecified dioceses and religious orders in Ireland, but accepted no Vatican responsibility for promoting a culture of cover-up. Benedict has yet to accept resignation offers from three other Irish bishops who were linked to cover-ups of child-abuse cases in the Dublin Archdiocese, the subject of a government-ordered investigation that published its findings four months ago. Magee, however, had been expected to resign ever since an Irish church-commissioned investigation into the mishandling of child-abuse reports in Cloyne ruled two years ago that Magee and his senior diocesan aides failed to tell police quickly about two 1990s cases. The church and government suppressed publication of that report's findings until December 2008, when Magee faced immediate calls to quit from victims' rights activists and some parishioners. They accused him of ignoring an Irish church policy enacted in 1996 requiring all abuse cases to be reported to police. Magee remained Cloyne bishop in name but transferred day-to-day responsibilities to his superior, Archbishop Dermot Clifford, in March 2009. Magee said Wednesday he submitted his resignation to the Vatican two weeks ago.

SOUNDBITE: (German) Annette Schavan, German Education Minister: "With today's decision, the Federal Government has made it clear that it supports all measures that help to expose, clear up, and process violence and sexual abuse of children and young adults. We are talking about crimes that are buried deep in the souls of young people, we are talking about perpetrators who have abused situations of trust and dependence in a reprehensible way." 7. Wide of news conference STORYLINE The German government on Wednesday established an expert panel in response to the recent spate of sexual abuse allegations in the Roman Catholic church and elsewhere. The group will examine past abuses and re-evaluate Germany's current statute of limitations on sex crimes as well as possible compensation for abuse victims, officials said. It will present its findings by the end of this year. German Justice Minister Sabine Leutheus?ser-Schnarrenberger, said the panel's purpose was to prevent future abuse and investigate the past. In addition, the panel would examine whether in the past, "there were different conditions in place, which meant the state's right to criminal punishment was not always enforced as would have been necessary." Education Minister Annette Schavan said that it was important to pay attention to the victims' needs and demands. "We are talking about crimes that are buried deep in the souls of young people, we are talking about perpetrators who have abused situations of trust and dependence in a reprehensible way," Schavan said. Germany has been rocked by a sexual abuse scandal at Roman Catholic and secular schools for several weeks with more than 250 victims having come forward. The panel being formed will be headed by the ministries of Justice, Family and Education and first meet on April 23. It will include 40 experts from the government, the church, charities and educational and legal institutions. The government also announced that it has assigned an independent commissioner for the fight against sexual abuse to serve as a contact person for abuse victims and make possible suggestions about material and other aid for the victims.

We do not think that it has to be in the interest of a self-respecting president to give the possibility to its partners to transfer its country into the zone of allocation of foreign prisoners." 8. Wide of Kakha Dzagania at news conference STORYLINE: Georgia's Interior Ministry said on Wednesday that three former Guantanamo Bay detainees transferred to the ex-Soviet nation will live in freedom but won't be allowed to leave the country. Ministry spokesman Shota Utiashvili said that the three detainees, "from Middle Eastern countries", would be allowed to contact their families and enjoy other freedoms, but could not travel abroad. Kakha Dzagania, the Chairman of the Georgian Labour Party, denounced the transfer of detainees from Guantanamo Bay, saying on Wednesday the transfer "poses a great threat to Georgian security." "We think that it was not necessary to bring prisoners to Georgia and it is not within the framework of the US - Georgian strategic partnership agreement," he added. Utiashvili denied the detainees presented a security risk. "We know that more than fifty countries all over the world have accepted detainees from Guantanamo. We have not heard of anybody posing any security problems so we think the same will be the case in Georgia," said Utiashvili. The US Justice Department said the identities of the three detainees sent to Georgia on Tuesday are being withheld for security and privacy reasons. Since 2002 when the US prison for terror suspects was opened in Cuba, more than 580 detainees have been moved from there to other destinations. At least 38 countries have accepted Guantanamo detainees. The transfers leave 183 detainees at Guantanamo.

Tilt-down from leaflet balloons to activist rally with Jo speaking into microphone, and Gomes holding sign in the middle STORYLINE: A South Korean human rights activist on Wednesday said that the American missionary detained in North Korea had participated with him in anti-North Korea rallies. Jo Sung-rae, head of the civil human rights group Pax Koreana said that Aijalon Mahli Gomes, a missionary from Boston, had been "really inspired by Robert Park", a fellow Christian from Arizona who crossed into North Korea at Christmas in a bold bid to draw attention to the communist country's human rights situation. According to Jo, Gomes did not mention any purpose to go to North Korea, "but my assumption is that he had the same purpose as Robert Park," he told AP Television in Seoul. "I remember him dropping scalding tears and praying there" Jo said of Gomes' attendance at a rally in December last year. In the days after Park's arrest, Gomes attended at least two rallies in Seoul calling for Park's release, Jo said. North Korea announced on Monday that Gomes, 30, would stand trial after entering the country illegally. The trial date and charges were not mentioned in a brief report in state media. It was not immediately clear why Gomes, who taught English in South Korea, went to the communist country. Park, 26, of Tucson, was released last month after more than 40 days in North Korean custody, with the North's state media saying he offered an apology for his transgressions. In Washington, a State Department spokesman said on Tuesday that the United States had not been formally notified about charges against the American. According to the State Department, Swedish diplomats have had four meetings with him recently. Sweden represents the US in consular issues since Washington and Pyongyang do not have diplomatic relations. Gomes is the fourth American detained in North Korea, one of the world's most closed countries, in the past year. In addition to Park, American journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee were arrested a year ago near the Chinese border and sentenced to 12 years of hard labour for illegal entry and engaging in "hostile acts." They were freed in August after former President Bill Clinton made a high-profile humanitarian visit to Pyongyang to negotiate their release. Gomes, a Boston native who graduated from Bowdoin College in Maine, had been in South Korea for several years teaching English, family spokeswoman Thaleia Schlesinger said. He was dedicated to his students and a devout Christian who attended church every Sunday, a friend said.

UNTV - AP CLIENTS ONLY Virunga National Park, Democratic Republic of Congo, March 17 2010 7. Various of gorillas in forest STORYLINE: Gorillas in central Africa are in danger from illegal logging, mining and from hunters, who are killing the great apes for meat, said a joint report from the United Nations and Interpol released on Wednesday. A previous report in 2002 estimated that only 10 percent of gorillas would remain by 2030. The author of the 2002 report and of the newly released one said that estimate now appears too optimistic. "We fear now that the gorillas may become extinct over most parts of their range within, perhaps less than15 years from now," UN Environmental Programme's Christian Nellemann said on Wednesday in Kenya. One of the dangers gorillas now face is a large increase in logging for timber, which is destroying their natural environment. The timber is mostly destined for Asia, particularly China, said Nellemann, who is also the editor-in-chief of the newly released report "The Last Stand of The Gorilla." Militant factions have also taken over the gorillas' habitat, making the protection of gorillas extremely difficult, he said. Increasing human populations and the deadly Ebola virus are also killing gorillas. Achim Steiner, executive director of UNEP, said that logging and mining camps hire poachers to supply displaced people and markets with the meat of wild animals, including gorillas. The report calls for greater scrutiny of European and Asian companies using subsidiaries to extract timber and minerals from central Africa. The UN report, however, contained some good news as well. An unpublished survey of one area of eastern Congo in the centre of the conflict zone discovered 750 previously unknown critically endangered eastern lowland gorillas. "What we are worried about is that these gorillas are disappearing faster than we can actually mobilise resources to survey them," said Nellemann, who called for increased resources for UNEP and Interpol to protect great apes. The report also found that the number of mountain gorillas in the Virungas, a trans-boundary national park, has risen 12 percent since 2007 as a result of strengthened law enforcement. There are four distinct types of gorilla. Three are listed as critically endangered and one is listed as endangered.

JOHN LEWIS MEMORIAL SERVICE - SWITCHED FEED 1250 - 1440

1250 LEWIS CAPITOL CEREMONY SWITCHED FS22 72 SWITCHED FEED OF CONGRESS MEMBERS HOLDING A CEREMONY IN THE ROTUNDA FOR REP. JOHN LEWIS. >> Good afternoon. Family and many friends acknowledge his life. Ebenezer. >> Let us bow our heads in a word of prayer. Eternal god, O father, I come to you today in the name of Jesus. Thank you for that many different faiths that had to [2:09:26 PM] celebrate the life and the legacy of John there was. We come today thanking you for the foundations that has mother and father established in Troy, Alabama. We thank you for his leadership in the March on Washington. We thank you for how he is was bloodied for us, bruise for us, sign in for us, was willing to give up his life, that we might have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Today, colleagues, friends, especially family members, lay him in this hallowed rotunda. Committing ourselves to Marge as he marched to ballot boxes and for voting rights and for civil rights and for human rights, and we will keep doing that until righteousness is like a mighty stream, and finally, we want to say thank you, that he crossed another bridge, we pray that one day will be named for John there was memorial bridge, [2:10:28 PM] but the bridge from Earth to glory, that when he got there, Elijah Cummings and the congressional cloud of witnesses welcomed him home as they marched down that street pavement of gold, we want to say thank you from Emmett till to George Floyd, thank you for allowing our deaths not to be in vain, and we want to say thank you. Well done, that good and faithful servant. Do you have found the good fight, kept your eyes on the prize, and now to the joy of the lord, and Gabriel told the angels to lift their voices. We heard Dr. King in the background saying free at last, free at last. The consciousness of congress is free at last. In Jesus' name we pray it, amen. >> The honorable Mitch Mcconnell, majority leader of the United States senate. [2:11:35 PM] >> Leader Mcconnell: Please be seated. Memoirs, John Lewis described her childhood at home that was quite different from a place he lies today. That farmhouse in Alabama had no running water or electricity. It stood on the first land his father's family had ever owned, and a part of the countries where segregation had led to almost total isolation along racial lines. It would have been hard to conceive back then that the young child tending his family's chickens would, by age 23, be leading the movement to redeem American society. That he'd be addressing hundreds of thousands of civil rights marchers from the steps of the Lincoln memorial. [2:12:35 PM] I was lucky enough to be there that day. I marveled at the massive crowds. The site gave me hope for our country, that was John's doing. Even on that day, as his voice echoed across the mall, I wondered how many dared to imagine that young man would walk the halls of the congress. America's original slavery was allowed to fester for far too long. It left a long week of pain, violence, and brokenness, that has taken great efforts from great heroes to address. John's friend, Dr. Martin Luther king Jr., famously said the ark of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. But that is never automatic. History only been to towards what's right because people like [2:13:35 PM] John paid the price. He paid that prius at every Nashville lunch counter where his leadership made segregation impossible to ignore. Every jail cell where he waited out hatred and oppression. He paid that price and harassment, and beatings from a bus station in South Carolina, to the bridge. John Lewis lived and worked with urgency because the task was urgent. But even though the world around him gave him every cause for bitterness, he stubbornly treated everyone with response and love. Also that, as his friend Dr. King, once put it, we could build a community at peace with itself. [2:14:36 PM] Today, we pray and trust that this peacemaker himself now rests in peace. All of jn's colleague stand with his son, John miles. Their family and the entire country, and thanking god that he gave our nation this hero is needed so badly. May all of us, that he would leave behind, pray for a fraction of John's strength, to keep bending that arc on towards justice. >> Ladies and gentlemen, the honorable Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the United States house of representatives. >> Speaker Pelosi: To the family of John Lewis, welcome to the rotunda, under the dome of the U.S. Capital, we have bid [2:15:38 PM] farewell to some of the greatest Americans and our history. It is fitting that John joins this pantheon, resting with president Abraham Lincoln. John revered president Lincoln. It was clear. 57 years ago, at the shadow of the Lincoln memorial, where John declared our minds, souls, and hearts cannot rest until freedom and justice IST for all people. Words that ring true today. Between then and now, John Lewis became a titan of the civil rights movement and of the conscious of the congress. Here in congress, John was revered and beloved on both sides of the aisle. On both sides of the capitol. We knew that he always worked on [2:16:39 PM] the side of the angels, and now we know that he is with them. We are confident that out that he is with his beloved. It is a comfort that his son, John miles, and the entire Lewis family, Michael Collins, the entire staff, that they mourn their loss and are praying for them at this sad time. God truly blessed America with the life and leadership of John Lewis. We thank you for sharing him with us. May he rest in peace. John Lewis often spoke about the loving community, a vision that he shared with Dr. Martin Luther king Jr., a community and uplifted by faith, hope, and charity. Indeed, he believes that every person has a spark of divinity, making them worthy of respect. And he had faith in the charity of others, which is what gave him so much hope. As he wrote in his Bo relieve [2:17:47 PM] all bitterness, only love and peace in your heart, knowing the battle for good to overcome evil is already won. John, the optimist. He was a person of greatness. He was also a person of great humility, always giving credit to others in the movement. John committed his life to advancing justice and understood that to build a better future, we had to acknowledge the past. Exactly one year ago, members of the congressional black caucus, they held a pilgrimage to observe 400 years since the arrive of the first from Africa. Some of the descendants of those would fill this capitol. I wish you could have seen their [2:18:48 PM] response that John received when he was introduced to the Ghana parliament. My colleagues are shaking their heads. It was overwhelming. Overwhelming. I wish you could have seen him. Enslaved people were sent through, the death ships, to cross the atlantic. I wish you could have seen what it meant to him. He knew that the door of no return was a central part of American history, just as is the bridge, the March on Washington, Selma March. When he made his speech 57 years ago, he was the youngest speaker. How fitting it is that in the final days of his life, he summoned the strength to acknowledge the young people peacefully protesting in the same spirit of that March, taking up the unfinished work of [2:19:48 PM] racial justice. Helping complete the journey begun more than 55 years ago. We've all seen the photographs of John being thoroughly beaten in Selma, which painted an iconic picture of injustice. What a beautiful contrast to see them with us today at the black lives matter plaza, standing in solidarity with the protesters. An iconic picture of justice. That will endure and will inspire a nation for years to come. John firmly focused on the future, on how to inspire the next generation to join the fight for justice. In his quote,to find a way to get in the way." As one of the youngest leaders, the March to Montgomery, he understood the power of young people to change the future. When asked what someone can do [2:20:49 PM] who is 19 or 20 years old, the age that he was when he set out to desegregate Nashville, he replied "A young person should be speaking out for what is fair, what is just, what is right. Speak out for those who have been left out and have been left behind. That is how the movement goes forward," John said. Imagine the great joy he had traveling the country to share that message of action with young people. No need to imagine. It is my personal privilege right now for me to yield to our beloved colleague, the distinguished gentleman from Georgia, congressman John Lewis. >> It's I grew up in rural Alabama. A little place called Troy. My father was a farmer. But back in 1944 when I was only [2:21:49 PM] four years old, my father had saved $300, and with the $300, he bought 110 acres of land. My family still owns that land today. How many of you remember when you were four? What happened to the rest of us? It was many, many yrs ago. In the little town of Troy, we visited Birmingham. I saw the signs, white men, colored women, I would come home and asked my mother, my father, my grandparents, my great-grandparents, why? Don't get in the way, don't get in trouble. But one day, in 1955, 15 years old, in the tenth grade, I heard about Rosa parks. [2:22:52 PM] I heard the words of martin Luther king Jr. On the radio. 1957. I met Rosa parks at the age of 72. In 1958, I met martin Luther king Jr., and these two individuals inspired me to get in the way, to get in trouble. So I come here to say to you this morning, on this beautiful campus, you must find a way to get in the way. You must find a way to get in trouble. [Applause] Use your education. You have wonderful teachers. Wonderful professors. Use what you have. Use your learning. Use your tools. Help make our country, help make [2:23:53 PM] our world a better place, where no one will be left out or left behind. You can do it, and you must do it. It is your time. [Applause] In a few short days, we will commemorate what we call the Mississippi summer project. For more than 1,000 students, all over America, many made a trip to Mississippi to encourage people to register to vote. And on June 21st 1964, 3 young men that I now, one African-American, investigating the burning of an African-American church that was used for registration, these [2:24:54 PM] three young men taken to jail, taken out of jail, turned over to the Klan, and they were beaten, shot, and killed, and these men did not die in Vietnam. They didn't die in the Middle East or eastern Europe. They didn't die and Africa. They died right here in our own country, trying to help all of our citizens become participants in our democratic process.
