two younger brothers I'm the oldest of three and I've got a sister who's the love of my life does Joe Biden have a dog I had two dogs I have two German Shepherds one I got when I got named vice president on States by Barack it was bribery on the part of my family said if you agree we'll get you a dog again so I have a dog named Champy's getting be an old guy and to keep him young we went out and got another dog from the rescue center and his name is major is
Joe Biden dental law degree yes I do I have a law degree from Syracuse University I practiced law for a while here in Delaware the job I'd never serve in the military no I haven't but we're a military family my son Beau served in the military passed away he spent a year in Iraq won the Bronze Star q speaker Service Medal and a number of other commendations the job I'd never have a job yeah I've had a job I used to be a lifeguard for years and when I ran for the United States Senate they
said well why do you want a 29 year old guys only been a lifeguard well the truth was I was a practicing lawyer I've been a public defender and I had my own small law firm well I got an elected when I was 29 and then I had another job although I guess people don't consider being a senator a job but that was my other job did I go to college yes I did go to college I went to the University of Delaware and I enjoyed it's a great school as my sister went and my
brothers as well it had two majors I majored in history and political science and had a minor in English the Joe Biden used to be a Republican no never never never but I tell you what it did happen when I came back to Delaware from law school my city was occupied by the National Guard because of the fact that dr. King had been assassinated the Democratic Party at the time was much more conservative the Republican Party so I couldn't bring myself to register as a Republican because I wasn't big on Richard Nixon and I registered
as an independent but shortly thereafter I helped change the Democratic Party to be a mainstream Democratic party was a fairly conservative party when I first got back Ken Joe Biden so it'd be good play sports I told my son when I died I wanted only for words father son brother athlete I was a pretty good athlete in high school played a little bit in college played football and baseball and a couple leagues when I got out of school yes I love sports did Joe Biden eat ice cream well some people think that's all I do
is you guys you know my mom when my dad passed away she moved in with us reluctantly because she wanted her independence and I'd stop and see her before I go upstairs and my my wife would say you've been with your mother I can smell ice cream and you ready the point is I love ice cream always have my favorite by the way is chocolate chip can Joe Biden yell well I don't yell very much I can yell when I'm cheering for my kids my granddaughters they're good athletes but that's about it was Joe Biden
a vice president yes I was I served with a great guy Barack Obama's one of the great honors of my life is a man a significant integrity and I one of the best things ever did was Joe Biden fraternity no I never joined a fraternity I was Joe Biden an actor you can tell by this know where Joe Biden's not an actor I'm not very good at playing anything but myself oh I used to be a very bad stutterer when I was a kid and all through high school that wasn't the reason I wasn't an
actor but I I've always felt self-conscious about trying to be something that I wasn't and that actually requires you to be able to do that okay what is Joe Biden's immigration policy keep families together immigration built this country we're all with the exception of the original sin of slavery are all immigrants the reason why we're the great country we are we've been able to cherry-pick the best of every culture in the world for someone to come here like my great-great-grandfather getting on a coffin ship in the Irish Sea back in 1848 it took courage it
took optimism it took determination that's why were who we are we're a nation of immigrants I'm proud of it what is Joe Biden's plan from proving the economy you know there used to be a basic bargain in America if you contribute to the well-being of the operation you work for you got to share in the benefits that's changed in the last 20 years because of corporate greed because of a range of other things and because of pizza clea now in this administration the way in which it doesn't take care of people who bust their neck
my dad used to say everyone everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity and how can you have dignity if you're working 40 hours a week and you can't afford health care you can't afford to take care of your children you can't afford housing that's the reason I'm running for president because I'm gonna change that we're gonna rebuild the middle class and this time bring everybody along what is Joe Biden's view in education my wife Jill has a great expression she's a doctor of Education and she's been a teacher for years and she'd say any
country that out-educates us will out-compete us and so that's why I strongly believe we should have both ends of the spectrum changes so that every child 3 4 & 5 years old can go to school school not daycare school and all the studies show that increases exponentially their chance of success at the other end of it we should have free Community College free college for four years of college of a State University if you come from a family making less than $125,000 and we should be invested in an apprenticeships across the board we can do
anything when we put our minds to it what is Joe Biden saying about impeachment obviously the president didn't learn anything from being impeached and not convicted the reason he got impeach was he went to another country that's them to get involved in our political process which is an impeachable offense he got impeached but then Republican Senate refused even though some acknowledged he did what he said that it didn't warrant being kicked out of office we are really not following the law very well these days what Joe Biden stance on gun control number one assault weapons
are weapons of death they have no rationale for being owned by individuals on the street they should be outlawed they were eliminated they came back at a 10-year elimination of them from the very beginning you weren't allowed to have certain weapons you weren't allowed to own a cannon during the Revolutionary War as an individual anybody think you should be able to go out and have a machine gun these days and the answer is no we have a rational policy no amendment to the Constitution is absolute secondly everyone should have a universal background check in order
to determine whether they're capable of owning a weapon whether they should own a weapon okay why is Joe Biden running for president I'm for president for three reasons one to restore the soul of this country this president started off dividing us based on race religion ethnicity one of the reasons I decided to run this time I had planned on it was what happened in Charlottesville when those folks came out of the woods carrying torches carrying swastikas and then when a young woman was killed he was asked to comment and he said the refined people on
both sides no president has ever said anything like that we have to restore the soul this country we the people we hold these truths to be self-evident he's walked away from that the second reason I'm running and restore the backbone of this country the middle class and this time bring everybody along black/white all colors all backgrounds men women gay straight everyone everyone deserves a shot and the third reason I'm running is to unite the country this is not who we are we're better than this we're better than what we're having what we have now and
the American people I think know that why is Joe Biden a good candidate well I always said when I won the first time as a kid running for the Senate of 29 people would come along and say what's the secret like you had to be a secret if I want at that age I'd say look if you're gonna run for office figure out what you're willing to lose over say what you mean mean what you say and don't rationalize tell the truth and let the cards fall where they may why would you want the job
unless you did that why is Joe Biden a Democrat because we start off with the proposition that anybody given a half a chances has the capacity to do anything but they need a chance it's all about having a chance my dad used to say Joey I don't expect the government to solve my problems but I expect him to understand my problems give me a fighting chance no guarantees a lot of people have not had much of a fighting chance and you're seeing that in this pandemic look at the people carrying us on their backs those
people making seven eight bucks an hour those people in the grocery store stacking product those people driving the trucks those people were out there as nurse's aides those people are putting on garbage bags because they didn't have the protective equipment I hope that the blinders have been taken off here the very people showing up to help you bury people saved your lives people are working for you are people who in fact are of all backgrounds all colors and all all interest so we got a united country thank you
