"I was getting -- I was getting to feel really guilty, man. I said that a while ago, as the press will tell you. About a year ago, I said, "Why don't everybody sit down?" And somebody in the front said, "I don't have a damn seat, that's why." I don't want to get in trouble. Thank you. I thought you didn't have any seats." 4

Joe Biden

00:00:14-00:00:34 (20 sec)
"No, I haven't yet. I'm waiting for a call from him if he needs the help. We told him it's available. The s -- my team has gotten in touch. I've not, in person, spoke to him.

00:02:37-00:02:59 (22 sec)
"But I need him. Look, folks. He's doing one heck of a job at EPA. And if you want to talk about health, think about the environment. Think about what's happening -- being done, what we're changing and EPA. And the -- it makes a big deal. It's also -- it's also out there across the state encouraging people to get vaccinated as well." 6

"I wanted to come to Raleigh to thank everyone in this room for everything you're doing to get your community vaccinated. It matters. It matters. You're saving lives. That's not hyperbole. I want to remind everybody, we lost 600,000 dead in America in about a year. That's more than every life lost. And World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War, Iraq, Iran, across the board, Afghanistan, more lives lost in a year than every major war in the 20th century and the 21st century." 7

"And guess what, folks? There were many lives lost all around the world. And America, I might say, this is not -- I didn't plan on saying this, but I'm going to anyway. We have an obligation in the United States of America to live up to who we are. America is the only -- is a unique nation. We're the only nation formed based on an idea, an idea, not an ethnicity, not an ideology, not -- an idea." 8

00:04:18-00:05:07 (49 sec)
"We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men and women are created equal, et cetera. Well, here's the deal. Here's the deal. There are over 100 countries in the world that have no capacity to help themselves right now. None. And that's why, I got somewhat criticized, but that's why I've worked so darn hard after being able to nail down in the first 100 days over 60 million doses of vaccine for Americans, I went to Europe G -- meet what they call the G7 and then with NATO and then with the EU and I promised that the United States the remainder of this year and the first half of next year is going to provide a billion doses to the rest of the world." 9

Joe Biden

00:05:07-00:05:43 (36 sec)
"A billion doses. A half a billion of those will be done between now in January and the first half of next year. Point being, I wanted the nation to reflect what you all reflect. Everyone in this room, there's everything. You -- I want to thank you for all you're doing. But the rest of the world is in trouble as well." 10

Rasheeda Monroe

Positive
00:00:42-00:00:45 (3 sec)

00:05:43-00:06:07 (24 sec)
"We have to look out for one another. We really do. And what you're doing here, to go back to the United States, nonprofits directing folks to where to go, houses of worship helping on site vaccination for congregants. My friend, Reverend Barber is here, as I said, had countless faith leaders who -- who are truly doing God's work." 11

Joe Biden

"College students providing rides for seniors. It's what's happening in America. It's what America is all about. That's what the rest of world is looking at. Are we what we advertise yourself to be? Because of people like you here in Raleigh and communities across America, we're going to win this fight. Look at the progress we made so far." 12

Rasheeda Monroe

Somewhat Positive
00:00:46-00:01:05 (19 sec)
"So, this is Amanda Edwards. I call her the vaccine boss. And all the events that happened through WakeMed, over 100,000 vaccines that were delivered in collaboration with many of our community partners, Amanda was in charge of all of it. So, she was directly responsible for getting so many people vaccinated." 13

Joe Biden

Positive
00:06:27-00:06:59 (32 sec)
"Today, 66 percent of all American adults have gotten at least one shot. That includes 87 percent of all seniors of all colors, 75 percent of adults ages 40 and up have gotten a shot, and 70 percent of those age 30 and up. Nationwide, we're seeing the lowest number of daily cases and deaths since the first day of the pandemic and we built equity into the heart of the vaccination program." 13

Rasheeda Monroe

00:01:05-00:01:06 ( sec)
"And --" 14

Joe Biden

Slightly Positive
00:06:59-00:07:24 (25 sec)
"I put together a vaccination team headed by a really bright guy. We put together a group of 23 doctors. And what they did was we had one doc who does nothing but deal with equity, access for people. There's a reason why it's been harder to get African Americans initially to get vaccinated because they're used to being experimented on." 14

Joe Biden

Somewhat Positive
00:01:06-00:01:07 (1 sec)
"Thank you, Amanda." 15

Joe Biden

Very Positive
00:07:24-00:08:15 (51 sec)
"The Tuskegee Airmen and others. People have memories. People have long memories. It's awful hard as well, to get Latinx vaccinated as well. Why? They're worried that they'll be vaccinated and deported. So look, from day one, something that Governor Cooper has been totally focused on is making sure we get as many people vaccinated, particularly people who don't have access to health care, usually, who don't have ordinary -- don't have doctors or family physicians, et cetera. 73 percent of the shots administered at community health centers through the federal program we have and more than 58 percent of the shots administered in federally run vaccination sites have gone to people of color." 15

"Thank you." 16

Joe Biden

Leans Positive
00:08:15-00:08:57 (42 sec)
"It makes a gigantic difference. And across the nation, people of color accounted for more than half of all the vaccinations in the last month. The more we close the racial gap and vaccination rates, the more lives we can save. And if I can -- And if I can pause for one second, that's why I've called for spending billions of dollars at NIH focusing on new ways to deal with obesity, diabetes, Alzheimer, and cancer, focused just on those diseases." 16

Rasheeda Monroe

Neutral

"Money that private drug companies don't have the money to invest in or the inclination to because, guess what, in most black communities across America, Hispanic communities, how many stores have fresh vegetables? How many stores have -- I'll go down the list. It matters. The health condition a person enters this fight over makes a big difference as to what in fact is going to be able to be done." 17

Working with the governor and the mayors and county officials across the state, there are 240 personnel in the Tar Heel State just to put the needle in somebody's arm." 18

Rasheeda Monroe

00:01:14-00:01:28 (14 sec)

Joe Biden

Leans Positive
00:09:46-00:10:10 (24 sec)

00:10:10-00:10:36 (26 sec)
"The governor and I visited one of the mobile units you're deploying to meet people where they live. As a result of these efforts statewide, case deaths are down over 90 percent in the last five months. All of this is great news, but here's the deal. For all the progress we've made as a country, hospitalizations and deaths are down drastically in places where people are getting vaccinated." 20

"The data couldn't be clearer. If you're vaccinated -- if you're vaccinated you're safe. You've been -- your are still at risk of getting seriously ill or dying if you in fact have not been vaccinated. That's just the fact. And this new dangerous variant is continuing to emerge. It's now the most common variant in America and here." 21

It is not only -- according to the CDC the -- between 10 percent and 20 percent of all cases in the last two weeks have been the Delta variant. Dr. Fauci's made it clear. He and my wife have been traveling the country to make this case, that it's more easily transmittable, this Delta variant, potentially deadlier, and especially dangerous for young people, for young people." 22

00:11:35-00:12:08 (32 sec)
"He says it's the greatest threat to our fight to beat COVID-19. But the good news is we have a solution. The science is clear. The best way to protect yourself against the virus and its variants is to be fully vaccinated. It works. It's free. It's safe. It's easy. It's convenient. Over 150 million Americans have gotten fully vaccinated; and they're safe and protected now, including against the Delta variant." 23

And hardly anyone is beyond five miles from a potential site. Get a free ride to and from your vaccination sites. I want to publicly thank, when I asked for help, both Lyft and Uber said between the time this last month to July 4th they'll provide a ride free to and from." 26

They've already administered 2.2 million shots, these pharmacies. Many of them are open 24 hours on Fridays. So, go tomorrow if you've not gotten it done, or when you're going out and knocking on doors, tell them tomorrow, 24 hours the majority of these -- these drugstores are open." 27

Joe Biden

Very Negative
00:15:18-00:15:40 (22 sec)
"As I said, I met her earlier this year during a tour of NIH Vaccine Research Center where this all happened. She's incredible.

Joe Biden

Somewhat Negative
00:18:15-00:18:37 (22 sec)
"So, talk to those moms when you knock on the door. Tell them about it. Tell them about why it's so important to get their children. You may remember I got widely criticized when I suggested we keep dropping the age of people eligible for vaccinations. It's been based on the science. I didn't do anything based on a whim." 36

Joe Biden

"I've been fairly criticized because I think we can actually pull people together. When I ran -- when I ran for president, I ran for three reasons. I said one was restore the soul of America, just basic decency and looking out for one another. And two, because we had to rebuild the backbone of this country that's been so damaged, which is the middle-class, working-class folks and middle-class folks." 39

Joe Biden

Very Negative
00:20:20-00:20:54 (34 sec)
"We really can do it. But you know what? I said the third reason I was running was to unify the country. Well, folks -- It's never been as divided as it is today. Never been as divided as it is today since the Civil War. And folks, it's such a waste of talent. Such a waste of time. And the rest of the world is looking at us." 41
