1
Jill Biden
Very Positive
00:00:00-00:00:25 (25 sec)
"Thank you, Roohi. It's great to be with all of you on this call today. What a big week with so many of you. We launched Women for Biden Harris because when we -- when our bodies are on the line and when our daughters futures are at stake, when our country and its freedom hang in the balance, women are immovable and unstoppable."
1
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:00:11-00:00:26 (15 sec)
"And, Desera, thank you for your introduction. And when you're President of the United States and I -- they say, "Joe Biden is out in the waiting room," don't say "Joe who?" Okay? [Laughter]"
2
Jill Biden
Very Positive
00:00:25-00:00:51 (26 sec)
"Women put Joe Biden in the White House, and women are going to do it again because we know what's at stake. And Thursday night, at the State of the Union, Joe gave a strong speech with a clear vision. And I'm so proud of him. I know talking to strangers isn't always fun, and I can think of a lot of other great ways you could be spending your Saturday."

Somewhat Positive
00:00:26-00:00:36 (10 sec)

3
Jill Biden
Very Positive
00:00:51-00:01:19 (28 sec)
"But you're here anyway, and that matters. It matters so much. Make no mistake. Elections are won in moments like these. They're won in conversations between neighbors. They're won in the dozens of phone calls to people who don't pick up and the fraction who do. They're won in coffee shops and churches and driveways by people like you showing up."
3
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:00:36-00:00:48 (12 sec)
"And Reverend Senator Warnock, thank you for your leadership. [Applause] And thank you for the honor -- giving me the honor to speak at your congregation at Ebenezer Baptist Church."

"Joe is the face of this campaign, but you are its strength. You are its feet. You make it run. So, even though it's many months away, I want you to start now. I want you to go out and tell your friends about the enormous stakes of this election and how close the election will be here. And then, I want you to remember."

Joe Biden
Leans Negative
00:00:48-00:00:59 (11 sec)
"Look, Senator Ossoff -- you're the best, Jon. You're doing a hell of a job. And he's always, always there, and he votes his conscience, and he's not afraid to stand up for what he believes. [Applause]"
5
Jill Biden
Very Positive
00:01:44-00:02:18 (33 sec)
"I want you to remember what it felt like on the morning after that 2016 election when we fell short. Remember that feeling, how you woke up and you said to yourself, "Oh, my God, what just happened?" We cannot let that happen again because I don't want to wake up with that feeling again. Like, "Oh, we should have started earlier," or, "We should have done more." No, we have to begin now."
5
Joe Biden

00:00:59-00:01:07 (8 sec)
"To the many members of the House of Representatives here and all other elected officials, thank you for your service."

Jill Biden
Very Positive
00:02:18-00:02:46 (29 sec)
"We have to meet this moment as if our rights are at stake because they are, as if our democracy is on the line because it is. With that determination, we will win this election. So, thank you. Thank you for showing up. Thank you for being part of this campaign. Thank you for putting your faith and trust in Joe and Kamala."

"And to former Atlanta mayor and former member of my team in the White House, Keisha Lance Bottoms, thank you. [Applause] Keisha -- I said to her a moment ago -- I said, "We miss you." And her husband said, "So did I. I got her." [Laughter]"

Jill Biden
Neutral
00:02:46-00:02:51 (5 sec)
"You are the reason we're going to keep them in the White House."

Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:01:22-00:01:33 (11 sec)
"And, Governor Wes Moore, thank you for coming down from Maryland, man. [Applause] He's the best, man. He can play. [Laughter]"

"Thank you."
8
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:01:33-00:01:42 (9 sec)
"And all of you here today, you know, you're the reason why we're going to win. [Applause] By the way, that's not hyperbole. You're the reason we're going to win."
9
Jill Biden
Neutral
00:02:53-00:02:53 (1 sec)
"Joe?"
9
Joe Biden
Neutral
00:01:42-00:01:50 (8 sec)

10
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:02:53-00:03:14 (20 sec)
"Hello, everybody. I'm Joe Biden. I'm Jill Biden's husband. We just finished meeting with small business owners here in Atlanta. Starting a small business is literally an act of hope. And we're seeing that kind of hope, that kind of energy everywhere we go. Jill and I, you know, we first wanted to thank you."
10
Joe Biden
Neutral
00:01:50-00:02:03 (13 sec)
"It can tell you a lot about a person who he keeps company with. [Laughter] And yesterday, he was hosting at his club, Viktor Orbán -- [Audience boos]"
11
Joe Biden
Negative
00:03:14-00:03:33 (20 sec)
"You're the reason Kamala and I continue to prove the pundits wrong. Because of you, we're turning the country around. We inherited an economy on the brink. Because of you, we're turning it around. But there's a lot more to do. You know, look at -- look at what we've done so far. You helped us in 2020. Look at what you did in the midterms."
11
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:02:03-00:02:19 (16 sec)
"-- who says he doesn't think democracy works. Called him a "fantastic leader." Seriously. [Laughter] He's been sucking up to win him -- [laughs] -- anyway -- [inaudible] dictators and authorian -- authoritarian thugs all around the world."
12
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:03:33-00:03:52 (18 sec)
"Remember that red wave we saw coming? Well, it never happened because of you. What we did in 2023 and the special elections all over the country, again, because of you. And with your help, we're going to do it again in November. We've got a lot more to do to take this country where I want to see it to go."
12
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:02:19-00:02:27 (8 sec)
"He said the North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un wrote him a -- quote, "wrote him a beautiful letter." [Laughter]"
13
Joe Biden
Somewhat Negative
00:03:52-00:04:13 (22 sec)
"I want to see it be. We get so much more we can do. And, folks, the American people have a -- have a stark choice this election. That choice matters because the guy who's -- well, I shouldn't say it, maybe who was a lousy president has promised to be even worse president this time around. Look, before I go any further, let's think about this."
13
Joe Biden
Very Negative
00:02:27-00:02:36 (9 sec)
"He bragged about calling Xi Jinping a "king." He called Putin and he said, "Do whatever the hell you want to our Allies." [Audience boos]"
14
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:04:13-00:04:36 (23 sec)
"We laid out what we want to do and Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans are going to do. And what they're going to do is to ensure a national -- really endanger our national security. They're going to expand -- you know, are they going to expand personal freedoms? Well, that's what we're going to do. They're going to do everything to not grow our economy."
14
Joe Biden
Neutral
00:02:36-00:02:43 (7 sec)
"I'm not making these -- I'm not making these quotes up. When he says he wants to be a dictator, I believe him."
15
Joe Biden
Very Negative
00:04:36-00:04:53 (17 sec)
"Literally, there's no -- they have no platform. They're all about -- they're against everything, not for anything, except the things that are the wrong things. What they're running on -- I'll tell you what they're running on. They're running backwards. It's about the future not the past. But guess what?"
15
Joe Biden
Positive
00:02:43-00:02:52 (9 sec)
"But I don't want to get carried away here. [Laughs] Before I begin, I want to say thank you --"
16
Joe Biden
Negative
00:04:53-00:05:18 (25 sec)
"We won't let them win the past. We won't let them go back. Folks, we have come through pretty tough times. And I know, I know we got a lot more to do. We had to stay off -- we had to start off by vaccinating America. Trump stood flat-footed during that period of time before the pandemic. And when we were rebuilding America, we're bringing back jobs, fighting to lower costs for ordinary families."
16
Unidentified
Neutral
00:02:52-00:03:11 (19 sec)
"What are you going to do, Genocide Joe? Tens of thousands of Palestinians [inaudible]."
17
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:05:18-00:05:32 (15 sec)
"I know, at least in my kitchen table growing up, my dad didn't talk statistics. He talked about whether it was -- what we could do to help families, what was happening to the average family. And that's what I talk about, and that's what I want to talk about to the hard working American families in America today."
17
Joe Biden
Neutral
00:03:11-00:03:12 (1 sec)
"Whoa, whoa, whoa -- [Audience chants "Four more uears"]"
18
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:05:32-00:05:55 (23 sec)
"For example, why do credit card companies cost -- charge you late fees of $32? Well, guess what? I had the power to change that. Now, you only have to pay $8. It may sound like not like a big deal, but it adds up for working people. Look, I need you, though. We need you to help folks understand what's at stake and how we can finish the job and make things even better."
18
Joe Biden
Neutral
00:03:12-00:03:16 (4 sec)
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. [Audience chants "Four more uears"]"
19
Joe Biden
Slightly Negative
00:05:55-00:06:16 (21 sec)
"No one thought we could beat the pharmaceutical companies, but damn it, we did. Instead of seniors paying $400 a month for insulin, they're now paying 35 because of what we did. And companies are still making significant profits. It only cost them 12 bucks to make and package this. I'm going to lower insulin costs for $35 for everyone in America, not just seniors."
19
Joe Biden
Neutral
00:03:16-00:03:28 (12 sec)
"Look, thank you. Look, I don't resent -- I don't resent -- I don't resent his passion. There's a lot of Palestinians who are being unfairly victimized."
20
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:06:16-00:06:34 (18 sec)
"And by the way, it saved $160 billion doing that. We gave Medicare the power to negotiate for drug prices. That's just what they did. It's not just saving seniors money, it's saving taxpayers money, taxpayers money. Finish the job means protecting and strengthening the Affordable Care Act. It used to be called Obamacare."
20
Joe Biden
Neutral
00:03:28-00:03:29 (1 sec)
"But, folks, look --"
21
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:06:34-00:06:53 (19 sec)
"We stopped Republicans 50 times from trying to gut it and get rid of it. Not only that, we've lowered the cost of insurance by $800 a year for those families. And they're still after -- but the Republicans, you saw, they're still after Social Security and Medicare. I'm not going to let that happen. You know, we're making real progress."
21
Unidentified
Very Positive
00:03:29-00:03:36 (7 sec)
"Free, free Palestine! Free, free Palestine!"
22
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:06:53-00:07:14 (21 sec)
"But, you know, one way not to go is the Trump way. Keeping Trump's tax cuts for the very wealthy and the biggest corporations is their only idea. I want to make billionaires pay their fair share, pay for priorities like childcare, long-term care and so much more. Believe me, billionaires are doing just fine."
22
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:03:36-00:03:42 (6 sec)
"-- before I begin, I want to say thank you to all those outstanding Black, Latinos, AAPI organizations supporting Kamala and me. [Applause]"
23
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:07:14-00:07:32 (18 sec)
"Finishing the job means protecting your freedom. It means passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act. Trump brags about having overturned Roe v. Wade, taking away a woman's right to choose, freedom to choose. Well, look at the chaos and cruelty this election -- that that decision is ripping."
23
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:03:42-00:04:04 (22 sec)
"In 2020 and 2022, especially here in Georgia, but all across the country, you called your neighbors, you texted your friends, you knocked on doors, and you never stop. And you're with us all the way. [Applause] And we're here to say a simple thank you, thank you, thank you. [Applause]"
24
Joe Biden
Very Negative
00:07:32-00:07:52 (20 sec)
"It's ripping -- when you took away Roe v. Wade, it took away so much protection. Just recently, extremists in Alabama ripped away access to fertility treatments for couples desperately trying to have children. And beyond that, Trump wants to have a national ban on the right to choose, so there's no state in America where it's going to be safe."
24
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:04:04-00:04:14 (10 sec)
"And here tonight, because you really want to do it again, because you are going to win this primary for us on Tuesday. And because we're going to win in November. [Applause]"
25
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:07:52-00:08:13 (21 sec)
"Where does this stop? I'll tell you where it stops. If you were to elect Kamala and me and give me a Congress that supports the right to choose, we will restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land everywhere again. We've made so much progress over the past three years, but finished the job, making -- making the contrast and the choice crystal clear."
25
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:04:14-00:04:20 (6 sec)
"So, I mean this: Thank you, thank you, thank you. I really mean it."
26
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:08:13-00:09:26 (73 sec)
"Time and again, Republicans show they are a party of chaos and division, especially in the House, refusing to accept the results of legitimate elections; seeking, as Trump says, to terminate, "terminate" elements of the United States Constitution; embracing political violence; calling January 6th insurrectionists patriots and promising to pardon them. Folks, we have to stay focused on what we have to do to win. Take nothing for granted. We've seen what these guys will do. We know what we have to do to win. Get voters to show up at the polls, must keep the White House. We must keep the Senate, and we must win back the House. We must win in state and local levels to protect our elections. So, let's get to work. We've got to win this election in the old-fashioned way, door to door, driving people to the polls, getting people to vote. So, let's go. Go to www.joebiden.com/training. Thank you for all you're doing and all you're about to do. Let's remember who we are. We're the United States of America. There's nothing, nothing beyond our capacity to get done when we work together. God bless you all and God protect our troops."
26
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:04:20-00:04:40 (21 sec)
"Three years ago, you helped the Democratic ticket and won Georgia a presidential election for the first time in 30 years. [Applause] On Thursday, when I gave my State of the Union Address, I talked about how far we've come since the 2020 election. I also talked about how much is at stake."
27
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:04:40-00:04:49 (9 sec)
"Folks, it's not hyperbole to suggest our freedoms are literally on the ballot this November. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans are trying to take our freedoms away."
28
Joe Biden
Positive
00:04:49-00:04:56 (7 sec)
"And, by the way, not all Republicans. This ain't -- this ain't your father's Republican Party. These guys are different."
29
Joe Biden
Neutral
00:04:56-00:05:00 (4 sec)
"But guess what? We're not going to let them take them away. [Applause]"
30
Joe Biden
Neutral
00:05:00-00:05:24 (24 sec)
"Thursday night marked 59 years since hundreds of foot soldiers for justice in Selma, Alabama, marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge named after the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan to claim their fundamental right to vote. They were beaten, they are bloodied, they were left for dead, but they were unbowed."
31
Joe Biden
Positive
00:05:24-00:05:49 (25 sec)
"Our late friend, son of -- son of Georgia, John Lewis, was there. [Applause] And what happened five months later? We passed -- the Voting Rights Act was signed into law. But nearly six decades after that, the same forces are back -- led by Donald Trump -- taking us back in time, suppressing the vote, subverting elections."
32
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:05:49-00:06:05 (15 sec)
"That's why we have to stand up again. [Applause] We know what to do. And my message to Georgia voters and to voters all across this country is: Send me a Congress that will pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. [Applause]"
33
Joe Biden
Very Negative
00:06:05-00:06:26 (21 sec)
"The same forces that want to deny the right to vote try to deny other core values of American diversity as well: banning books, erasing history. Instead of celebrating the contribution of immigrants to our country, to our economy, and our communities, Donald Trump calls them "vermin," "poison" in the blooding of -- poisoning the blood of America."
34
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:06:26-00:06:47 (21 sec)
"No one should ever doubt where my heart is. Unlike Donald Trump, on my first day in office as President, I introduced a comprehensive -- a comprehensive plan to fix our immigration system, secure our border, provide a pathway for citizenship for DREAMers and their families -- farmworkers, essential workers who helped us through the pandemic and are part of the fabric of our community."
35
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:06:47-00:07:05 (18 sec)
"Because unlike Donald Trump, I know who we are as Americans. [Applause] It's why I promised to have an administration that looks like America. [Applause] The most diverse Cabinet and administration in American history led by a [historic] Vice President."
36
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:07:05-00:07:33 (29 sec)
"A court that represents all the people. Sixty-five percent of the judges I've appointed are women. [Applause] Sixty-five percent are people of color. [Applause] I've appointed more Black women to the circuit courts than every other president in American history combined -- [applause] -- and the first African American woman to the Supreme Court. [Applause]"
37
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:07:33-00:07:53 (19 sec)
"Look, in my State of the Union Address, I talked about the social worker in Alabama. She scheduled an IVF treatment for her second child. But the Supreme Court of Alabama shut down IVF treatments across the state, unleashed by the U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. [Audience boos]"
38
Joe Biden
Somewhat Positive
00:07:53-00:08:09 (16 sec)
"What her family has gone through should never have happened. And folks -- folks, you know why this happened. Well, I tell you why: Donald Trump. He came to office determined to see o- -- Roe v. Wade overturned. In fact, he brags about it."
39
Joe Biden
Very Negative
00:08:09-00:08:23 (15 sec)
"Well, he got his wish. And states are passing bans that criminalize doctors, forcing rape and incest victims to leave their states to get help. And now MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump want to pass a national ban on the right to choose."
40
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:08:23-00:08:48 (25 sec)
"Well, hear me loud and clear: not on my watch. [Applause] In its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court majority wrote, and I quote, "Women are not without electoral or political power." As I said in the State of the Union, "They ain't seen nothing yet." [Applause]"
41
Joe Biden
Somewhat Positive
00:08:48-00:09:05 (17 sec)
"But they're about to see -- they're about to see it, just like we saw it on the ballot in 2022 and 2023. And they'll find out again in 2024. [Applause]"
42
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:09:05-00:09:15 (10 sec)
"I'm deadly earnest about this. Look, I want -- I want to thank Vice President Harris for leading the way on this issue and so many others. [Applause]"
43
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:09:15-00:09:26 (11 sec)
"And, Georgia, I have a message for you: Send me a Congress that supports the right to choose, and I promise you I will restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land again. [Applause]"
44
Joe Biden
Slightly Positive
00:09:26-00:09:45 (19 sec)
"Folks, I inherited an economy that was on the brink. But since I took office, we've created 15 million new jobs in just three years. [Applause] That's a record in American history."
45
Joe Biden
Neutral
00:09:45-00:09:52 (7 sec)
"Eight hundred new manufacturing jobs. I said, "Where's it written that we can't be the manufacturing capital of the world?" [Applause]"
46
Joe Biden
Very Negative
00:09:52-00:10:05 (13 sec)
"Unemployment hit a 50-year low -- [applause] -- so far. And under Donald Trump, Black and Latino unemployment skyrocketed. Under my administration, we have record low Black and Latino un- -- unemployment. [Applause]"
47
Joe Biden
Negative
00:10:05-00:10:14 (9 sec)
"Donald Trump, Asian American unemployment nearly doubled. Now -- now the employment rate of Asian Americans is the highest it's been since 2008. [Applause]"
48
Joe Biden
Very Negative
00:10:14-00:10:30 (16 sec)
"Look, we've cut Black child poverty in half, cut Latino poverty by a record as well. We're seeing the fastest rate of new Latino businesses all over this decade. And the next 30 years, it's going to even be bigger."
49
Joe Biden
Positive
00:10:30-00:10:45 (15 sec)
"Look, folks, more people have health insurance than ever before. [Applause] The racial wealth gap is a smallest it's been in 20 years. [Applause] Wages are back up; inflation is coming down. Inflation has dropped from 9 to 3 percent. [Applause]"
50
Joe Biden
Positive
00:10:45-00:10:54 (9 sec)
"We've already accomplished a lot. So, now let's talk about the future we can build together. [Applause] It's about the future."
51
Joe Biden
Very Negative
00:10:54-00:11:11 (17 sec)
"For example, Americans pay more for prescription drugs than anywhere else in the world. It's wrong. But I'm ending it. [Applause] The law I propose that we signed, no -- not one Republican voted for it, I might add -- we finally beat Big Pharma. [Applause]"
52
Joe Biden
Leans Negative
00:11:11-00:11:24 (13 sec)
"For example, instead of paying $400 a month for insulin that saves seniors lives, they now only pay $35. Do you know how much it costs to make it? It costs $10. It costs $10 to make it. [Applause]"
53
Joe Biden
Leans Positive
00:11:24-00:11:30 (6 sec)
"But I didn't stop there. We capped insulin at 35 bucks a month, and I want to do it for every single American. [Applause]"
54
Joe Biden
Slightly Negative
00:11:30-00:11:52 (22 sec)
"I finally beat Big Pharma and gave Medicare the power to negotiate lower prices for all prescription drugs, like the VA does. But guess what? It just doesn't save seniors money; it's saving the taxpayers $160 billion -- [applause] -- that one thing. Seriously."
55
Joe Biden
Very Negative
00:11:52-00:11:58 (6 sec)
"Cutting the federal deficit -- these guys talk about the de- -- I don't want to get into that. I'll get carried -- [laughter]."
56
Joe Biden
Neutral
00:11:58-00:12:11 (13 sec)
"Now it's time to go further and no- -- negotiate lower drug prices for every drug. Look, that will save taxpayers, if we do that, another $200 billion because Medicare doesn't have to pay the bill."
57
Joe Biden
Very Negative
00:12:11-00:12:37 (26 sec)
"Beginning in January of next year, it's already the law we passed. We capped prescription drug costs for seniors on Medicare at total $2,000 a year, no matter how much they cost. [Applause] Because you -- as some of you know, unfortunately, you've experienced it. These cancer drugs can cost $10-, $12-, $15,000 a year. Now let's cap prescription drug costs to $2,000 a year for every American -- [applause] -- all Americans."
58

"And, folks, the Affordable Care Act is still a very big deal. [Applause] It used to be called "Obamacare." [Applause] Over 100 Americans -- 100 million Americans can no longer be denied health insurance because of a preexisting condition because of that law. [Applause] And not only that, we've lowered the cost of insurance by $800 a year for so many families -- and on top of it."

"Look, I'm also working to bring down the cost of housing. That's why I want to pri- -- I want to provide an annual tax credit for the next two years of $400 a month, over the next two years, as rates come down, to put toward mortgages. If they're pur- -- buying your first home or you need to trade up a little for more space. That's what's going to happen. [Applause] And the interest rates will be down."

69
Joe Biden
Very Positive
00:15:15-00:15:33 (18 sec)
"We already contributed over $7 billion to HBCUs. And you know why? Because they're just as bright, just as capable as -- though they don't have the endowments. And so, they can't -- they can't -- they don't have the laboratories to train for the new high-tech jobs. But now they will. And now they do. [Applause]"

"Look, we're building an economy from the middle out and the bottom up, not the top down. Donald Trump did just the opposite. He -- he enacted a $2 trillion tax cut that overwhelmingly benefited the top one half of 1 percent and the biggest corporations and exploded the federal deficit. He added more to the national debt in the four years he was there than any presidential term in history -- [Audience boos]"

"I sure don't. And I'm going to keep fighting like hell to make it fair. Under my plan, nobody earning less than $400,000 a year will pay an additional penny in federal tax. Nobody. Not -- not one penny. [Applause] But big corporations and the very wealthy will finally begin to pay their fair share."

"Not anymore. Thanks to the law I wrote and signed, big companies have to pay a minimum of 15 percent. [Applause] But 15 percent is still less than working people pay in federal taxes. It's time to raise the corporate minimum tax to at least 21 percent -- [applause] -- so every billion-dollar corporation begins to finally begin to pay their fair share."

Joe Biden

00:17:34-00:17:48 (14 sec)

Joe Biden
Very Negative
00:17:48-00:18:15 (27 sec)
"That's why I proposed a minimum tax of 25 percent for billionaires -- 25 -- just 25 percent. You know how much money that would raise? Five hundred billion dollars over the next 10 years. [Applause] Imagine what that could do for America and our -- for our future -- from lowering the deficit to childcare, home care, paid leave so many other countries have -- and still lower the deficit."

"My lifetime has taught me to embrace the future of freedom and democracy. And Trump and I have a very different value set, if it isn't obvious already. Mine is based on core values that defined America. And the rest of the world looks at us that way: decency, honesty, fairness, equality."
84
Joe Biden
Very Negative
00:19:13-00:19:27 (13 sec)
