Manila Bulletin

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump showcased starkly different visions for the country Tuesday on abortion, immigration, and American democracy as they met for the first time for perhaps their only debate before November’s presidential election.

00:00Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people. So let's be clear about that and

00:05clearly he is having a very difficult time processing that. But we cannot

00:10afford to have a President of the United States who attempts, as he did in the

00:17past, to upend the will of the voters in a free and fair election. And I'm going

00:23to tell you that I have traveled the world as Vice President of the United States

00:27and world leaders are laughing at Donald Trump. I have talked with military

00:33leaders, some of whom worked with you, and they say you're a disgrace. And when

00:39you then talk in this way in a presidential debate and deny what over

00:45and over again are court cases you have lost because you did in fact lose that

00:51election, it leads one to believe that perhaps we do not have in the candidate

00:57to my right the temperament or the ability to not be confused about fact.

01:04That's deeply troubling and the American people deserve better. I'll give you one

01:10minute to respond, Mr. President. Let me just say about world leaders, Viktor

01:13Orbán, one of the most respected men, they call him a strong man, he's a

01:17tough person, smart, Prime Minister of Hungary. They said why is the whole world

01:22blowing up? Three years ago it wasn't. Why is it blowing up? He said because you

01:28need Trump back as president. We're playing with World War Three and we have

01:33a president that we don't even know if he's... where is our president? We don't

01:37even know if he's a president. And just to clarify here... They threw him out of a

01:40campaign like a dog. We don't even know. Is he our president? But we have a

01:44president... Mr. President... that doesn't know he's alive. I want to get your

01:47thoughts on support for Ukraine in this moment, but also as commander-in-chief, if

01:53elected, how would you deal with Vladimir Putin and would it be any

01:56different from what we're seeing from President Biden? Well, first of all, it's

02:00important to remind the former president you're not running against Joe Biden,

02:04you're running against me. I believe the reason that Donald Trump says that this

02:09war would be over within 24 hours is because he would just give it up. Someone

02:13who cares about you and is not putting themselves first. I intend to be a

02:19president for all Americans and focus on what we can do over the next 10 and 20

02:25years to build back up our country by investing right now in you, the American

02:30people. So she just started by saying she's going to do this, she's going to do

02:35that, she's going to do all these wonderful things. Why hasn't she done it?

02:39She's been there for three and a half years, they've had three and a half years

02:43to fix the border, they've had three and a half years to create jobs and all the

02:49things we talked about. Why hasn't she done it?

03:09you
