How about the house and senate races . Are there obvious places where a house or Senate Member will want Kamala Harris to come to their district, or republicans . Pres. Trump we have just, this just came out two minutes ago, attorney general barr Just Announced as you know, we , where weation legend are going to be helping out, are in the process of helping out cities throughout our country that have difficulty with crime, in particular certain types of crime, so that is really good news. They caught the killer of legend. Today we saw joe biden continue to politicize the pandemic and to show his appalling lack of. Espect for the American People at every turn, biden has been wrong about the virus, ignoring the Scientific Evidence and putting leftwing politics before facts and evidence. Sleepy joe opposed both the china and europe travel bans. Banpposed the china travel that i instituted very early in the europe travel ban that i instituted quite early. Followed, if we went after and listened to his advice, hundreds of thousands more people would have died. This is according to many people. I believe that dr. Fauci agreed with that. He said that President Trump made a great decision when he put the ban on china. Joe biden wants to fling open american borders, allowing the pandemic to infiltrate every u. S. Community based on his policies. He wants to have ridiculous open borders. Ive been saying from the first day i started campaigning for this great office, you have open borders, you dont have a country. You dont have a country with open borders. So he wants open borders. The democrats want open borders. If you look at our southern border, we would have criminals pouring through. 290wall is getting close to miles long. So we disagree with him on that. That is one of the many things we disagree with. Allowile joe biden would rioters and looters and criminals and millions of illegal aliens to roam free in our country, he wants the federal government to issue a sweeping mandate to lawabiding citizens. He wants the president of the United States, with the mere stroke of a pen, to order over 300 million american citizens to wear a mask for a minimum of three straight months. I guess he thinks it is good politics i guess. No matter where they live and no matter their surroundings. Because different states are much different. Both in terms of the atmosphere problem. Orona he does not identify what authority the president has to issue such a mandate or how federal Law Enforcement could possibly enforce it. Or why we would be stepping on governors throughout our country, many of whom have done a very good job and they know what is needed. Also, many of our 50 states are that,the job at a level frankly, people are really surprised, including foreign governments that are calling us constantly and asking for advice. I want to just say, our governors have worked very hard. Theyve worked with Vice President pence and myself and everybody else. We have scott now involved. Scott, congratulations. Youve already started. And dr. Fauci and dr. Birx. If the president has the unilateral power to order every citizen to cover their face in nearly all instances, what other powers does he have . Biden, why he refused, to take questions. He couldnt answer any of them. He never takes questions. I take questions. He never takes questions. You sort of wonder what is going on because they are not that difficult. Some can be nasty but they are not that difficult. But he never takes questions. I guess he just left the podium. Put it in your minds. My administration has a different approach. We have urged americans to wear masks and i emphasized that this is a patriotic thing to do. Maybe they are great and maybe they are just good. Maybe they are not so good. But frankly, what do you have to lose . You have nothing to lose. So we do and weve been saying wear them when it is appropriate, especially in terms of social distancing. If you cant distance enough, what do you have to lose . Governorsis up to the and we want to have a certain freedom. That is what we are about. At the same time, we understand that each state is different and is facing unique circumstances. You have very different states facing very unique differences and circumstances. Weve entrusted the governors of develop ando enforce their own masked policies and other policies following guidance from the federal government and cdc. We are working with each state to implement a plan based on the facts and science. We will continue to urge americans to wear masks when they cannot socially distance. But we do not need to bring the full weight of the federal government down on lawabiding americans to accomplish this goal. Americans must have their freedoms and i trust the American People and their governors very much. I trust the American People and the governors want to do the right thing to make the smart decisions and joe doesnt. Much. Esnt know too unlike the biden approach, our approach is guided by science. That is why we are focused on protecting the highrisk americans. That is why we are delivering effective medical treatments, to reduce the fatality rate. That is why we are developing a vaccine and therapeutics in record time. Rejects the scientific approach in favor of locking all americans in their basements for months on end, which i think is something scott would be very opposed to. Weve been dealing pretty strongly over the last number of weeks. But he wants them in the basement for months on end. And you have governors that have been very strict on keeping people in their houses, keeping people in their wherever they may be apartments. And frankly i dont think the results are necessarily better than other results. But he wants to shut down our economy, close our schools, and grind society to a halt. And he wants it done by a federal decree. ,his would lead to a crippling longlasting depression. This would be a crippling, longlasting depression. Yesterday i showed you the numbers about how well we are doing with auto sales and manufacturing and used car sales and housing sales at numbers nobody would have believed. It is very strong. We will be discussing that over the next couple days. But the economy is coming back. The employment numbers are a record in the history of our country. We will be back next year. Maybe Even Stronger than the Previous Year where we set every record in the book on employment and stock market. Our stockmarket numbers are very close to record. Nasdaq is actually a record over the last 14 days. That is during what we hope will be the final stages of the pandemic. If we did what biden wanted to do, shut down our Health Care System and lead to a massive increase in mortality, including suicide, overdose, heart disease, and countless other harms. Bad on the other side of the break and when you do Something Like that. Those shutdowns are very punitive, very punitive. They hurt a lot of people in a lot of different ways, through depression, through suicide, through so many other things, alcohol, drugs. Bidens approach is regressive. It is antiscientific. It is very defeatist. It will be very bad for our country. While joe biden has been playing politics on the sidelines, weve been solving problems and delivering tremendous results. The most advanced and robust testing system on the planet. The number one producer of ventilators in the world by far. Unprecedented industrial mobilization, biggest since world war ii. Operation warp speed, to deliver lifesaving treatments and very soon a vaccine. What a plan by joe biden has actually laid out would do, weve already accomplished. Many of the things it was well reported, every single thing he said to do, we did. And we did them well. Idea on his own. He only knows what he thinks we should do and he spews it out and then i guess you could say pleasure arises in our case. Because every single one of the events was something we had already done. So we will defeat the virus, but not by hiding in our basements. Hes got to come out of his basement. We will defeat this virus through common sense mitigation effort, shielding those at highest risk and unleashing americas medical and scientific genius, which is what it is, and weve already been doing it and we are very close to having something that is going to be very special in the form of therapeutics and vaccines. Stop playingd say politics with the virus. Partisan politics has no place here. Situation forul anybody to try and score political points while we are working to save lives and defeat the pandemic. In times of national challenge, americans, by the way, we are working with countries from all over the world. And they are trying to learn from us. And some of the countries you spoke about our having a tremendous surge right now. But it will work out. But americans must unite together, put politics aside, and really unite for a common good. Three vaccines are in the final stage of clinical trials. They are doing really well. We are producing the most promising candidates in advance. Part of the largest industrialization ever. That is incredible. The best companies anywhere in the world. It is incredible where they are. Withlso the speed which the fda is approving things. By any other standard, you would have been two or three years away from the point we are at. By the end of this week, we will have shipped 1846 rapid pointofcare testing devices to Nursing Homes, which are very important, as you know, for people that are not handling the plague from china very well. Sendingk alone, we are 992 testing devices and 450,000 tests to more than 950 Nursing Homes across the country. These tests are incredible. These are all new, very modern. And we are also getting on the tests that are not done immediately with a five to 15 minute timing, when they do send them to a lab, they are coming back now in three days, which is about as good as you can do. One day of delivering, one day of receiving, and one day in the lab. We are requiring Nursing Homes to test all members of their staff at least weekly. We have delivered effective treatments. The case fatality rate for americans over 70 has declined by about 85 . That is a fantastic number. It has declined by 85 . Europe has seen 40 more excess mortality than the United States compared to a nonpandemic year. You hear the numbers and those numbers are very interesting. But that is the way it is. We urge all americans to wash your hands, socially distance, wear a mask when necessary, and protect the vulnerable, protect people that are older and especially people that have problems with heart or diabetes or some other problem. Earlier today, very exciting news, big news all over the world, it was amazing. We finalized a historic Peace Agreement between israel and the United Arab Emirates. After half a century, israel and the United Arab Emirates will normalize their diplomatic relations. Nobody thought this was something that could happen for a long time. It is the most important diplomatic breakthrough since the egyptisrael Peace Agreement was signed over 40 years ago. We have ambassador to israel david here. Thank you for being here. Israels a big day for and for the world. Thank you. Youve been fantastic. Thank you very much. The deal that was reached today will enable muslims to have far greater ability to visit many Historic Sites in israel and to peacefully pray at the mosque, which is very important to them, which theyve ordered to have access to for many decades. This is a monumental step to forging ties of cooperation in the middle east. I think you are going to have other countries come forward. We already do. They want to make a deal. We could have peace in the middle east. Israel is also suspending settlements in the west bank, which is a big deal, a bold step toward achieving peace. Israel and the United Arab Emirates have agreed to expand and accelerate tiant to pick collaboration to develop vaccines to defeat the china virus. Theyve both been hit. Virtually every country has been hit. And to save lives in their region and in their world, so they are working very much on the vaccines also with us. And again, some very good news is going to take place with respect to that. Our unprecedented diplomatic engagements laid the groundwork for this historic Peace Agreement, which was Just Announced a little while ago today. We will not rest as we continue to work toward a world of greater harmony and prosperity for all. I want to thank Prime Minister netanyahu of israel and crown of the unitedd arab emirates, fantastic people, for their vision and leadership. I look forward to hosting them at the white house very soon. They will be coming to washington. So that was a tremendous day. That was a tremendous thing that happened. Great sign. We have a lot of other interesting things going on with other nations also having to do with Peace Agreements. A lot of big news is coming over the next few weeks. Im sure you will be very impressed. More importantly it is a great thing for our country and for the world. Go ahead. I want to ask you about food. One of the real problems when you shut down the school, these are kids on reduced and free lunch programs. They need these meals to make it through their day. With districts shutting down schools, what if anything can the federal government do to make sure the kids will get decent meals as long as the schools are out . Pres. Trump you know we dont want the schools shut down. We want the schools open. Especially very Young Children handle it very well. So we want schools open. We dont want to be in that position. We would make payment, and frankly, if the school isnt going to open, we would much rather follow the child with the payment. Give the money to the child, meaning the parents of the child, and let the parents do what they have to do. Because we are finding that whether it is parents or children, people want to get back to school. Some people say they dont want the democrats dont want schools open because that is where you have a lot of polling booths. And if you have a school closed, you cant easily have polling booths at the school. Maybe we will be able to show that as fact. But that is another thing that they are doing to try and keep people away from the polls. So we have to look into that. But youve been reading about it, ive been reading about it, and i dont like it, but we would like to see the schools open. Ofwhat is your understanding how long israel will suspend its west Bank Annexation plan . Pres. Trump what do you think . We put all our eggs into the basket of peace. We have an agreement with the emirates. Thate going to extrapolate to the rest. How long that takes, i cant tell you. Peace, but it is not off the table. Peace every single chance. Want palestinians to take away from this deal . Pres. Trump that they are supported largely by some of the countries we are talking to and that have already signed. Others will be following. Palestinians, i think they very much want to be part of what we are doing. Peacesee alternately between israel and the palestinians. Big,nk as these very powerful, wealthy countries come in, i think the palestinians will follow. Please. Do you believe a deal could be reached without agreement to temporarily suspend annexation . Pres. Trump could you make it louder . Do you believe a deal could have been reached without the agreement to suspend annexation . Pres. Trump what do you think about that . Think, prioritize peace, think they i dont two could have been done at the same time israel should israel consider this is a temporary process. Before you said that you didnt have to fund the u. S. Postal service because democrats are trying to expand voting by mail. Are you threatening to veto any legislation that includes funding for the post office . Pres. Trump no. So you would sign something that does include funding. Pres. Trump i would do it, but one of the reasons the post office needs that much money is that they have all these millions of ballots coming from nobody knows from where, so what happened in virginia, it was 500,000 applications coming in, nobody even knows where they came from. You saw what happened in new york, which was a disaster, with congresswoman carolyn maloney, it was a basic disaster. You see patterson, new jersey. And we could give you many other locations. What has happened is, that is part of a big negotiation. People, it money to wasnt their fault, it was chinas fault. Post office is part of it. Another part of it is they want 3. 5 billion just for the ballots. That is what the democrats want. But if the bill isnt going to get done, that would mean the post offices are going to get funded and the 3. 5 billion isnt going to be taken care of, so i dont know how you could possibly use these ballots. Absentee ballots, by the way, are fine, but the universal male ends that are sent all over the place, where people can grab stacks of them and sign them, that is the thing we are against. Isnt that the problem, that you are saying you do not want to give the post Office Funding in this coronavirus legislation, they say they needed so if the pandemic is still going on in november and people dont feel safe to vote in person, they can vote by mail and it can be safe and secure . Pres. Trump i can understand the post office and if we can agree to a bill, which is of much bigger number than just the post office, that would be fine, but they have the post office as one of their requests. You said you were against it. Pres. Trump what im against is doing anything whether people arent taken care of. And the people arent being taken care of properly. We want people to get money. It wasnt their fault that they got shut down. They got shut down by china. Whether it is the post office or the 3. 5 billion you know they are asking for 3. 5 billion just for the universal ballots but they are not willing to make a deal. The thing they want more than anything else, and you know this, is bailout money for the states and cities that are in troubl
