>> SO I THINK YOU'VE HEARD TONIGHT, 2 VERY DIFFERENT VISIONS FOR OUR COUNTRY. ONE THAT IS FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE. AND THE OTHER THAT IS FOCUSED ON THE PAST. AND THEN ATTEMPT TO TAKE US BACKWARD. BUT WE'RE NOT GOING BACK. AND I DO BELIEVE THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW WE ALL HAVE SO MUCH MORE IN COMMON THAN WHAT SEPARATES US AND WE CAN CHART A NEW WAY FORWARD. A VISION OF THAT INCLUDES HAVING A PLAN, UNDERSTANDING THE ASPIRATIONS, THE DREAMS, THE HOPES THE AMBITION OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, WHICH IS WHY I INTEND TO CREATE AN OPPORTUNITY ECONOMY, INVESTING IN SMALL BUSINESSES IN NEW FAMILIES AND WHAT WE CAN DO AROUND PROTECTING SENIORS. WHAT WE CAN DO THAT IS ABOUT GIVING HARDWORKING FOLKS A BREAK IN BRINGING DOWN THE COST OF LIVING. I BELIEVE AND WHAT WE CAN DO TOGETHER THAT IS ABOUT SUSTAINING AMERICA'S STANDING IN THE WORLD AND ENSURING THAT WE HAVE THE RESPECT THAT WE SO RIGHTLY DESERVE, INCLUDING RESPECTING OUR MILITARY AND ENSURING WE HAVE THE MOST LETHAL FIGHTING FORCE IN THE WORLD. I WILL BE A PRESIDENT THAT WILL PROTECT OUR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT OF A WOMAN TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT HER OWN BODY AND NOT HAVE HER GOVERNMENT TELLER. WHAT TO DO. I'LL TELL YOU, I STARTED MY CAREER AS A PROSECUTOR. I WAS A DA. I WAS AN ATTORNEY GENERAL, UNITED STATES SENATOR AND NOW VICE PRESIDENT OF ONLY HAVE ONE CLIENT, THE PEOPLE. AND I'LL TELL YOU, AS A PROSECUTOR, I NEVER ASKED A VICTIM OR WITNESS. ARE YOU A REPUBLICAN OR A DEMOCRAT? THE ONLY THING EVER ASKED THEM, ARE YOU OKAY? AND THAT'S THE KIND OF PRESIDENT WE NEED RIGHT NOW. SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT YOU AND HE'S NOT PUTTING THEMSELVES FIRST. I INTEND TO BE A PRESIDENT FOR ALL AMERICANS AND FOCUS ON WHAT WE CAN DO OVER THE NEXT 10 20 YEARS TO BUILD BACK UP OUR COUNTRY BY INGESTING RIGHT NOW IN YOU, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. >> VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS, THANK YOU. PRESIDENT TRUMP. >> SO HE JUST STARTED BY SAYING SHE'S GOING TO DO THIS. HE'S GOING TO DO THAT. SHE'S GOING TO ALL THESE WONDERFUL THINGS. WHY HASN'T SHE DONE IT? SHE'S BEEN THERE FOR 3 AND A HALF YEARS. THEY'VE HAD 3 AND A HALF YEARS TO FIX THE BORDER. THEY'VE HAD 3 AND A HALF YEARS TOO CREATE JOBS AT ALL. THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT. WHY HASN'T SHE DONE IT? SHE SHOULD LEAVE RIGHT NOW. GO DOWN TO THAT BEAUTIFUL WHITE HOUSE. GO TO THE CAPITOL, GET EVERYONE TOGETHER AND DO THE THINGS YOU WANT TO DO. BUT GAVIN DONE IT AND YOU WON'T DO IT BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IN THINGS THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE IN. YOU BELIEVE IN THINGS LIKE WE'RE NOT GOING FRACK, WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE FOSSIL FUEL. WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY STRONG, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, GERMANY TRIED THAT. AND WITHIN ONE YEAR THEY WERE BACK TO BUILDING NORMAL ENERGY PLANTS. WE'RE NOT READY FOR. WE CAN'T SACRIFICE OUR COUNTRY FOR THE SAKE OF BAD VISION. BUT I JUST ASK ONE SIMPLE QUESTION. WHY DIDN'T SHE DO IT? WE'RE A FAILING NATION. WE'RE A NATION THAT'S IN SERIOUS DECLINE WERE BEING LEFT AT ALL OVER THE WORLD ALL OVER THE WORLD THEY LEFT. I KNOW THE LEADERS VERY WELL. THEY'RE COMING TO SEE ME. THEY CALL ME. WE'RE LEFT AT ALL OVER THE WORLD. THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED TO US IS A NATION WHEN NOT A LEADER. WE DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON. WE HAVE WARS GOING ON IN THE MIDDLE EAST. WE HAVE WARS GOING ON WITH OR A SHIA AND UKRAINE WERE GOING TO END UP IN A 3RD WORLD WAR AND IT'LL BE A WAR LIKE NO OTHER BECAUSE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS. THE POWER OF WEAPONRY. I REBUILT OUR ENTIRE MILITARY. SHE GAVE A LOT OF IT AWAY TO THE TALIBAN. SHE GAVE IT TO AFGHANISTAN. WHAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE DONE TO OUR COUNTRY AND MAYBE TOUGHEST OF ALL IS ALLOWING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT COME INTO OUR COUNTRY. MANY OF CRIMINALS AND THEY'RE DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY. THE WORST PRESIDENT, THE WORST VICE PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY. >> PRESIDENT TRUMP, THANK YOU. AND THAT IS OUR ABC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE FROM HERE
