CNN's Daniel Dale fact checks Trump's and Biden's claims made in debate

The candidates performance and demeanor tonight notwithstanding, there is the crucial question of the truth of what was actually said on stage and our fact checker, Daniel Dale, joins us now. So, Daniel, what stands out to you? What stood out was the staggering number of false claims from former President Trump on first count. Aaron, I counted at least 30, 30 false claims. Now, President Biden also made false claims, at least nine false or misleading statements on first count. I'll give you some of them, he said. He's the only president in a while who didn't have any troops dying anywhere in the world. Troops have, of course, died on his watch. He said he's put in a $15 per shot cap on insulin. Medicare is a $35 a month cap. He said it's a $200 cap on overall drug spending in Medicare. It's $2,000 a year. He said the border now has fewer crossings than when Trump was in office. That's generally not true. He said, or at least strongly suggested unemployment was at 15% when he took office. It was actually 6.4. He said Trump's what Trump wants to get rid of Social Security. Trump doesn't. He said billionaires pay 8.2% in taxes. It's much higher. He said Trump told Americans to inject bleach amid Covid. We know Trump made foolish comments about scientists studying disinfectant injection but didn't frame it as advice to people. And Biden said the Border Patrol endorsed him. No, it's union supported the border bill. He'd support it. Never endorsed him himself. In fairness, the president did appear to clarify that one. Now the Trump list, it is way, way longer. So deep breath, he said. Some Democratic states allow people to execute babies after birth, an egregious lie that is illegal in every state. He said everybody, even Democrats who wanted Roe v Wade overturn row, is supported by two thirds of Americans, even more Democrats. He said every legal scholar who wanted to overturn abortion returned to the states. Legal scholars have told me directly this is not true. He said the U.S. currently has the biggest budget deficit ever. No, that happened under Trump in 2020. He said the U.S. currently has a record trade deficit with China. That also happened under Trump in 2018. He said Biden personally gets a lot of money from China. Zero evidence of this. He said there were no terror attacks during his presidency. In fact, there were multiple attacks. He said Iran didn't fund Hamas, Hezbollah or other terror groups under his presidency. Iran, in fact, did. He said Biden wants to quadruple people's taxes. That is pure fiction. He said the U.S. has provided way more aid to Ukraine than Europe had. It's actually the opposite. He said the U.S. has provided about $200 billion in Ukraine aid. It's closer to 110 billion. He said 18 or 19 million people have crossed the border under Biden. That is millions too high. He said many of these migrants are from prisons or mental institutions. His own campaign cannot corroborate this. He said Biden has only created jobs for illegal immigrants. Total nonsense. He said Nancy Pelosi turned down his offer of 10,000 National Guard troops on January 6th. There's no evidence she even got such an offer. It was the president, not Pelosi, who had the power to deploy the DC guard. He said Pelosi now acknowledges she turned down the troops. Now her office told me, tells me this claim is still a lie. He said he deployed the National Guard to Minneapolis in 2020. Actually, that was the Democratic governor. He spoke of, quote, ridiculous fraud in the 2020 election. Zero evidence of any widespread fraud. He said NATO was going out of business before he took office. Completely. Clearly absurd. He said the U.S. was paying 100% of NATO before he came along. The U.S. made up about 71% of NATO defense spending, not 100. He said he, not Biden, is the one who lowered insulin prices in Medicare. He did it for some seniors, but Biden did it for far more. He said Biden indicted him again. No evidence Biden has had a personal role at any of these four prosecutions. He said Europe takes no U.S. cars. Just not true. He spoke of food prices quadrupling under Biden. That's a wild exaggeration, though they are up. He said Biden made up the idea he called debt service members suckers and losers. Note The Atlantic magazine reported that and then former Trump chief of staff John Kelly corroborated it. He said Biden called black people, quote, super predators for ten years. Biden never once deployed that phrase, let alone for ten years, though he did at least one speak of, quote, predators without specifying those about black people. He said his Trump tax cut was the largest in U.S. history. Not true, though, in fairness. Biden. Biden also said this. Trump said China and others stopped buying from Iran under him. China never stopped. He revived his pet lie. I don't know how many times I've done it that he signed the Veterans Choice program into law. Barack Obama did that in 2014. Trump signed an expanded version in 2018. And finally, Trump said Biden got rid of that veterans program. Biden has not done that. All right. Well, Daniel Dale, thank you very much. Going through every single one of those clearly long list.
