are going to take kyiv because it's part of the old soviet union. he didn't do it at all, he wasn't able to get it done, and they have lost thousands of troops, 500,000 troops. for one minute, i want _ troops, 500,000 troops. for one minute, i want to _ troops, 500,000 troops. for one minute, i want to go _ troops, 500,000 troops. for one minute, i want to go back - troops, 500,000 troops. for one minute, i want to go back to i troops, 500,000 troops. for one minute, i want to go back to my i minute, i want to go back to my original question, are putin 's terms acceptable to you, keeping their territory in ukraine?— keeping their territory in ukraine? ., , ., ., ukraine? no, they are not acceptable. _ ukraine? no, they are not acceptable, but _ ukraine? no, they are not acceptable, but look, i ukraine? no, they are not acceptable, but look, this| ukraine? no, they are not i acceptable, but look, this is a war that — acceptable, but look, this is a war that never should have started _ war that never should have started. he led everybody along. _ started. he led everybody along, he has given $200 billion— along, he has given $200 billion or more to ukraine. $200 _ billion or more to ukraine. $200 billion, that's a lot of money. — $200 billion, that's a lot of money.

not money at this point. our nato allies have produced as much funding for ukraine as we have. that's why we are strong. moving on to the middle east, in october, hamas attacked israel, killing more than 1000 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. president biden, you have 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 used to get hamas and israel to end the war? you have two minutes. end the war? you have two minutes-— end the war? you have two minutes. , ., , ., minutes. number one, everyone from the united _ minutes. number one, everyone from the united nations - from the united nations security council straight through to the g7 to the israelis and netanyahu himself have endorsed the plan i put

forward. it has three stages to it. the first stage is trading the hostages for a ceasefire. second, a ceasefire with additional conditions. third, the end of the war. the only one who wants a war to continue is hamas. we are still pushing hard to get them to accept. in the meantime, what happened? the only thing i have denied israel was 2000 lb bombs, they kill a lot of innocent people in urban areas. we are providing weapons they need. by the way, i am the guy who organised the world against iran when they had a full—blown intercontinental ballistic missile attack on israel. no one was hurt. 0ne israeli was accidentally killed, and then it stopped. we saved israel. we are the biggest producer of support for israel of anyone in

the world. there are two different things. hamas cannot be allowed to continue. we continue to send expert and intelligent people on how they can get hamas like we did with bin laden. they have been greatly weakened, hamas, and they should be, they should be eliminated. but you have to be careful when using certain weapons among population centres. ,., weapons among population centres. ., ,, ., centres. going back to ukraine for one second, _ centres. going back to ukraine for one second, we _ centres. going back to ukraine for one second, we have i centres. going back to ukraine for one second, we have an i for one second, we have an ocean— for one second, we have an ocean separating us. the european nations together have spent _ european nations together have spent $100 billion, may be more than that, — spent $100 billion, may be more than that, less than asked... why— than that, less than asked... why doesn't he call them and say you — why doesn't he call them and say you got to put up your money, — say you got to put up your money, like i did with nato? i -ot money, like i did with nato? i got them _ money, like i did with nato? i got them to put up hundreds of billions — got them to put up hundreds of billions of dollars. the secretary general of nato said trump — secretary general of nato said trump did the most incredible iob~ _ trump did the most incredible iob~ they— trump did the most incredible job. they were going out of business, almost 100% of the money— business, almost 100% of the money was paid by us. he didn't do that — money was paid by us. he didn't do that. you got to ask these

control ukraine and we want to poland and other places. see what happens then. he has no idea what the hell he is talking about. the way, i've got 50 other nations around the world to support ukraine, including japan and south korea, because they understand the dislocation had a serious threat to the whole of world peace. —— by the way. no major war in europe has ever been content to just war in europe has ever been content tojust europe. president trump, to content to just europe. president trump, to follow content tojust europe. president trump, to follow up, would you support the creation of an independent palestinian state to achieve peace in the region? l state to achieve peace in the reuion? ., ., ., region? i would have to say, but before — region? i would have to say, but before we _ region? i would have to say, but before we do _ region? i would have to say, but before we do that, - region? i would have to say, but before we do that, the l but before we do that, the problem we have is we spend all the money. they kill us on trade, _ the money. they kill us on trade, great trade deals with the european nations. because if you _ the european nations. because if you add _ the european nations. because if you add them up, they are about— if you add them up, they are about the _ if you add them up, they are about the same size economically, their economies, as the _ economically, their economies, as the united states. they don't — as the united states. they don't want anything that we have, — don't want anything that we have, but we are supposed to take — have, but we are supposed to take their— have, but we are supposed to take their cars, food, agriculture and everything. i changed _ agriculture and everything. i changed that. but the big thing

welcome back to the cnn presidential debate from georgia. let's talk about persistent challenges you both faced in your first terms, and you would 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. black mothers are still three times more likely to die from 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 you haven't made more progress? i’ge are disappointed you haven't made more progress? i've made a lot of progress. — made more progress? i've made a lot of progress, number— made more progress? i've made a lot of progress, number one. - lot of progress, number one. there were more small black businesses started than any time in history. number two, black unemployment is the lowest it has been in a long, long time. number three, lowest it has been in a long, long time. numberthree, we have provided housing for black americans, and dealing with the segregation that exists among these areas that collude to keep people out of houses. in addition, the impact on the choice that black families had to make relative to childcare

is incredibly difficult. we did the first major piece of legislation. i was able to reduce black childcare costs, i cut them in half. we have to make sure we provide for childcare costs, because when you provide childcare protections, you increase economic growth because more people can be in thejob market. so there's more to be done, considerably more to be done. but we've done a great deal so far and done. but we've done a great dealso farand i'm not done. but we've done a great deal so far and i'm not letting up, and they know it. you have 49 seconds _ up, and they know it. you have 49 seconds left, _ up, and they know it. you have 49 seconds left, what - up, and they know it. you have 49 seconds left, what do - up, and they know it. you have 49 seconds left, what do you i a9 seconds left, what do you say to black voters who are disappointed with the progress so far? i disappointed with the progress so far? ,:, , disappointed with the progress so far? :, �* disappointed with the progress sofar? :,�* ,:, so far? i say i don't blame them for _ so far? i say i don't blame them for being _ so far? i say i don't blame i them for being disappointed. inflation is still hurting them badly. for example, i provide forthe badly. for example, i provide for the idea that black families, first—time home—buyers should get a $10,000 tax credit to be able to buy their first home and get started. i made sure they were in a situation where all those black families and individuals

who had to take out student loans, nursing, doctor, anything to do with volunteering... if they paid their bills for ten years, their bills for ten years, their student debt, all of the rest is forgiven after ten years. millions have benefited from that. and we're going to do a whole lot more for black families. : ::, , families. and he caused the inflation- — families. and he caused the inflation. he _ families. and he caused the inflation. he is _ families. and he caused the inflation. he is blaming - inflation. he is blaming inflation. he is blaming inflation and he's right, it's been — inflation and he's right, it's been very— inflation and he's right, it's been very bad, he because the inflation — been very bad, he because the inflation and it's killing black— inflation and it's killing black families and hispanic families and just about everybody. it's killing people, they— everybody. it's killing people, they can't buy groceries any more — they can't buy groceries any more you _ they can't buy groceries any more. you look at the cost of food — more. you look at the cost of food where it has doubled, tripled _ food where it has doubled, tripled and quadrupled. they can't — tripled and quadrupled. they can't live, they are not living any — can't live, they are not living any more _ can't live, they are not living any more. he called this information. i gave him a country— information. i gave him a country with essentially no inflation, it was perfect, it was — inflation, it was perfect, it was so _ inflation, it was perfect, it was so good, all he had to do is leave — was so good, all he had to do is leave it _ was so good, all he had to do is leave it alone. he destroyed

health care. this guy wants to eliminate that. he wants to get rid of the aca if they win. we are in a position where the idea that we are not doing... putting more police on the street than any administration. he wants to cut the cops. we are providing equity, making sure people have a shot. there is a lot going on. inflation, he caused it by his tremendous malfeasance in the way he handled the pandemic. 2023 was the hottest year in recorded _ 2023 was the hottest year in recorded history— 2023 was the hottest year in recorded history and - recorded history and communities - recorded history and communities across| recorded history and i communities across the recorded history and _ communities across the country are confronting _ communities across the country are confronting the _ communities across the country are confronting the devastating| are confronting the devastating effects — are confronting the devastating effects of— are confronting the devastating effects of extreme _ are confronting the devastating effects of extreme heat, - effects of extreme heat, intensifying _ effects of extreme heat, intensifying wildfires, i intensifying wildfires, stronger _ intensifying wildfires, stronger hurricane i intensifying wildfires, stronger hurricane isi intensifying wildfires, i stronger hurricane is and rising _ stronger hurricane is and rising sea _ stronger hurricane is and rising sea levels. - stronger hurricane is and rising sea levels. formerj rising sea levels. former president _ rising sea levels. former president trump, - rising sea levels. former president trump, you i rising sea levels. former. president trump, you have rising sea levels. former- president trump, you have vowed to end _ president trump, you have vowed to end your— president trump, you have vowed to end your opponent _ president trump, you have vowed to end your opponent 's _ president trump, you have vowed to end your opponent 's climate . to end your opponent 's climate initiatives, _ to end your opponent 's climate initiatives, but _ to end your opponent 's climate initiatives, but will— to end your opponent 's climate initiatives, but will you - to end your opponent 's climate initiatives, but will you take i initiatives, but will you take any— initiatives, but will you take any action— initiatives, but will you take any action to _ initiatives, but will you take

voluntarily, one. i made sure every pharmaceutical company in the world cannot... and by the way... the world cannot... and by the wa y the world cannot... and by the wa , the world cannot... and by the wa y :, , way... so every day, millions of americans _ way... so every day, millions of americans struggle - way... so every day, millions of americans struggle just i way... so every day, millions of americans struggle just to | of americans struggle just to make ends meet. for many older americans, social security provides a critical lifeline. president biden, if nothing is done to social security, seniors will see benefits cut in just over ten years. will you name tonight one specific step you are willing to take to keep social security solvent? yes, make the very wealthy begin to pay their fair share. right now, making one —— everybody making $175,000 make 6% of their paycheque every time they get a paycheque from the first one at 18 years old. i have been proposing that everybody, the millionaires pay 1%, 1%. i have not raised the cost of social security for anybody under $a00,000. after

that, i began to make the wealthy pay their fair share by increasing from 1% beyond to guarantee the programme for life. 50 guarantee the programme for life, ,, , guarantee the programme for life, , :, s life. so you still have 82 seconds _ life. so you still have 82 seconds left. _ life. so you still have 82 seconds left. any i life. so you still have 82 seconds left. any other| seconds left. any other measures you think would help keep social security solvent or is that enough?— keep social security solvent or is that enough? that one enough will keep it _ is that enough? that one enough will keep it solvent. _ is that enough? that one enough will keep it solvent. the - will keep it solvent. the biggest thing i will do if we defeat this man because he wants to get rid of social security, he thinks there is plenty to cut in social security and wants to cut social security and medicare, both times. if you look at the programme put forward by the house republican caucus that he supports, it is in fact wanting to cut it as well. the idea that we don't need to protect our seniors is ridiculous. by the way, the american public has greater health care coverage today than ever before. as i said, we are in a circumstance where a00,000 circumstance where a00 , 000 people, circumstance where a00,000 people, a0 million people do not have insurance because they

have a pre—existing condition. what allows them to have that insurance is the fact they are part of the aca. and the other thing is we are in a situation where we talk about education black communities. i have raised the amount of money by another $8,000 so anybody making under $70,000 a year, and $15,000 toward tuition. he just doesn't know what he's talking about. 50 just doesn't know what he's talking about.— just doesn't know what he's talking about. so i have dealt with politicians _ talking about. so i have dealt with politicians all _ talking about. so i have dealt with politicians all my - talking about. so i have dealt with politicians all my life, i l with politicians all my life, i had — with politicians all my life, i had been _ with politicians all my life, i had been on this side of the equation _ had been on this side of the equation for the last eight years _ equation for the last eight years i_ equation for the last eight years. i have never seen anybody— years. i have never seen anybody lie like this guy. i have — anybody lie like this guy. i have never seen it. he can look you in— have never seen it. he can look you in the — have never seen it. he can look you in the face. about so many other— you in the face. about so many other things as well. we mentioned the laptop and russia, _ mentioned the laptop and russia, russia, russia. ukraine, _ russia, russia, russia. ukraine, ukraine, ukraine. everything he does is alive. it is misinformation and disinformation. the losers in soccer— disinformation. the losers in soccer story he made up is a

country and taking awayjobs, there is a reason we have the fastest—growing economy in the world and most successful economy in the world. we are doing better than any other nation in the world. and those lorries he talked about being phony, those economies all said if trump is re—elected, we are likely to have a recession and inflation will go up. and by the way, the worst president in history. 159 presidential scholars voted him the worst president in the history of the united states of america. let’s united states of america. let's turn to the _ united states of america. let's turn to the cost _ united states of america. let's turn to the cost of— united states of america. let's turn to the cost of childcare i turn to the cost of childcare which many american families struggled to afford. both you and president biden have tried to address this issue, president trump. but the average cost of childcare in this country has risen to more than $11,000 per year per child for many families. the cost for two children is more than their rent. in your second term, what would you do to make childcare more affordable? just would you do to make childcare more affordable?— more affordable? just to go back. more affordable? just to go back- the — more affordable? just to go back. the general - more affordable? just to go back. the general got i more affordable? just to go back. the general got fired | back. the general got fired because _ back. the general got fired because he was no good and if
