Dana Bash:
Time now for opening statements. You’ll each receive one minute? Governor Steve Bullock, please begin.

Gov. Steve Bullock:
Thanks, Dana. I come from a state where a lot of people voted for Donald Trump. Let’s not kid ourselves. He will be hard to beat. Yet watching that last debate, folks seem more concerned about scoring points or outdoing each other with wish-list economics than making sure Americans know we hear their voices and will help their lives.

Gov. Steve Bullock:
Look, I’m a pro-choice, pro-union Populist Democrat that won three elections in a red state, not by compromising our values, but by getting stuff done. That’s how we win back the places we lost – showing up, listening, focusing on the challenges of everyday Americans. That farmer getting hit right now by Trump’s trade wars, that teacher working a second job just to afford her insulin, they can’t wait for a revolution. Their problems are in the here and now. I’m a Progressive, emphasis on progress, and I’m running for president to get stuff done for all those Americans Washington has left behind.

Dana Bash:
Marianne Williamson.

Marianne Williamson:
Thank you. In 1776, our founders brought forth on this planet an extraordinary new possibility. It was the idea that people, no matter who they were, would simply have the possibility of thriving. We have not ever totally actualized this ideal, but at the times when we have done best, we have tried. And when forces have opposed them, generations of Americans have risen up and pushed back against those forces. We did that with abolition, and with women’s suffrage, and with civil rights.

Marianne Williamson:
Now, it is time for a generation of Americans to rise up again, for an amoral economic system has turned short-term profits for huge multinational corporations into a false god. This new false god takes precedence over the safety, and the health, and the well-being of we, the American people, and the people of the world, and the planet on which we live. Conventional politics will not solve this problem because conventional politics is part of the problem. We, the American people, must rise up, and do what we do best, and create a new possibility. Say no to what we don’t want and yes to what we know can be true. I’m Marianne Williamson, and that’s why I’m running for president.

Dana Bash:
O congressista John Delaney.

O congressista John Delaney:
Folks, we have a choice. We can go down the road that Senator Sanders and Senator Warren want to take us with bad policies like Medicare for All, free, everything, and impossible promises that’ll turn off independent voters and get Trump re-elected. That’s what happened with McGovern. That’s what happened with Mondale. That’s what happened with Dukakis. Or we can nominate someone with new ideas to create universal healthcare for every American with choice; someone who wants to unify our country, and grow the economy, and create jobs everywhere. Then we win the White House.

O congressista John Delaney:
I’m the product of the American dream. I believe in it. I’m the grandson of immigrants, the son of a construction worker. My wife, April, and I have four amazing daughters. I was the youngest CEO in the history of New York Stock Exchange, created thousands of jobs, and then served in Congress. That’s the type of background, and my platform is about real solutions, not impossible promises that can beat Trump and govern. Thank you,

Dana Bash:
O congressista Tim Ryan.

O congressista Tim Ryan:
America is great, but not everyone can access America’s greatness. The systems that were built to lift us up are now suffocating the American people. The economic system that used to create $30-, $40-, $50-an-hour jobs that you could have a good solid middle-class living now force us to have two or three jobs just to get by. Most families, when they go to sit at the kitchen table to do their bills, they get a pit in the middle of their stomach. We deserve better.

O congressista Tim Ryan:
The political system is broken, too, because the entire conversation is about left or right – where’re you at on the political system? I’m here to say this isn’t about left or right, this is about new and better. And it’s not about reforming old systems, it’s about building new systems. Tonight, I will offer solutions that are bold, that are realistic, and that are a clean break from the past.

Dana Bash:
Gov. John Hickenlooper.

Gov. John Hickenlooper:
Last year, Democrats flipped 40 Republican seats in the House and not one of those 40 Democrats supported the policies of our front runners at center stage. Now I share their progressive values, but I’m a little more pragmatic. I was out of work for two whole years until I started what became the largest brewpub in America. I learned the small, best- small business lessons of how to provide service, and teamwork, and became a top mayor, and as Governor of Colorado, became the number-one economy in the country. We also expanded healthcare and reproductive rights. We attacked climate change head on. We beat the NRA. We did not build massive government expansions.

Gov. John Hickenlooper:
Some will promise a bill tonight, or a plan for tonight. What we focused on was making sure that we got people together to get things done, to provide solutions to problems, to make sure that we worked together and created jobs. That’s how we’re gonna beat Donald Trump. That’s how we’re gonna win Michigan and the country.

Dana Bash:
A senadora Amy Klobuchar.

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
Let’s get real. Tonight we debate, but ultimately, we have to beat Donald Trump. My background, it’s a little different than his. I stand before you today as the granddaughter of an iron ore miner, as the daughter of a union teacher, and a newspaperman, as a first woman elected to the U.S. Senate from the State of Minnesota, and a candidate for president of the United States. That’s because we come from a country of shared dreams.

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
I have had it with the racist attacks. I have had it with a president that says one thing on TV that has your back, and then you get home, and you see those charges for prescription drugs, and cable, and college. You’re gonna hear a lot of promises up here, but I’m gonna tell you this – yes, I have bold ideas, but they are grounded in reality, and yes, I will make some simple promises. I can win this. I’m from the Midwest, and I have won every race, every place, every time. I will govern with integrity, the integrity worthy of the extraordinary people of this nation.

Dana Bash:
Congressman Beto O’Rourke.

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
I’m running for president because I believe that America discovers its greatness at its moments of greatest need. This moment will define us forever, and I believe that in this test, America will be redeemed. In the face of cruelty and fear from a lawless president, we will choose to be the nation that stands up for the human rights of everyone, for the rule of law – for everyone – and a democracy that serves everyone.

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
Sejam quais forem as nossas diferenças, sabemos que antes de sermos qualquer outra coisa, somos americanos primeiro, e garantiremos que cada um de nós esteja suficientemente bem, e educado, e pago o suficiente para realizar todo o nosso potencial. Iremos enfrentar estes desafios aqui em casa, e iremos liderar o mundo naqueles que enfrentamos no estrangeiro, enfrentando com sucesso a guerra sem fim e as alterações climáticas. Neste momento de verdade, prossigamos a nossa promessa nacional e façamos uma união mais perfeita de todos, por todos, e para todos.

Dana Bash:
O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg.

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
I’m running for president because our country is running out of time. It is even bigger than the emergency of the Trump presidency. Ask yourself how somebody like Donald Trump ever gets within cheating distance of the Oval Office in the first place. It doesn’t happen unless America is already in a crisis. An economy that’s not working for everyone. Endless war. Climate change. We have lived this in my industrial Midwestern hometown. My generation has lived this as long as we have been alive, and it’s only accelerating.

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
Science tells us we have 12 years before we reach the horizon of catastrophe, when it comes to our climate. By 2030, the average house in this country will cost half a million bucks, and a woman’s right to choose may not even exist. We are not going to be able to meet this moment by recycling the same arguments, policies, and politicians that have dominated Washington for as long as I have been alive. We’ve got to summon the courage to walk away from the past and do something different. This is our shot. That is why I’m running for president.

Dana Bash:
A senadora Elizabeth Warren.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Donald Trump disgraces the office of Presidents every single day. Anyone on this stage tonight or tomorrow night would be a far better president. I promise, no matter who our candidate is, I will work my heart out to beat Donald Trump and to elect a Democratic Congress. But our problems didn’t start with Donald Trump. Donald Trump is part of a corrupt, rigged system that has helped the wealthy, and the well-connected and kicked dirt in the faces of everyone else.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
We’re not gonna solve the urgent problems that we face with small ideas and spinelessness. We’re gonna solve them by being the Democratic Party of big structural change. We need to be the party that fights for our democracy and our economy to work for everyone. I know what’s broken in this country, I know how to fix it, and I will fight to make it happen.

Dana Bash:
O senador Bernie Sanders.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Esta noite, na América, neste preciso momento, 87 milhões de americanos não têm seguro ou têm menos seguro, mas a indústria dos cuidados de saúde obteve cem mil milhões de dólares em lucros no ano passado. Esta noite, neste preciso momento, 500.000 americanos estão a dormir na rua, e no entanto empresas como a Amazon, que obtiveram lucros de milhares de milhões, não pagaram um níquel no imposto federal sobre o rendimento. Esta noite, metade do povo americano está a viver de salário para salário, e no entanto 49% de todos os novos rendimentos vão para o topo do 1%.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Tonight, the fossil fuel industry continues to receive hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies and tax breaks while they destroy this planet. We have got to take on Trump’s racism, his sexism, xenophobia and come together in an unprecedented grassroots movement to not only defeat Trump, but to transform our economy and our government.

Jake Tapper:
Thank you, Senator Sanders. Let’s start the debate with the number-one issue for Democratic voters – healthcare. Senator Sanders let’s start with you. You support Medicare for All, which would eventually take private health insurance away from more than 150 million Americans in exchange for government-sponsored healthcare for everyone. Congressman Delaney just referred to it as bad policy, and previously, he has called the idea political suicide that will just get President Trump re-elected. What do you say to Congressman Delaney?

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
You’re wrong. Right now, we have a dysfunctional healthcare system – 87 million uninsured or underinsured; 500,000 Americans every year going bankrupt because of medical bills; 30,000 people dying while the healthcare industry makes tens of billions of dollars in profit.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Five minutes away from here, John, is a country. It’s called Canada. They guarantee healthcare to every man, woman, and child as a human right. They spend half of what we spend. By the way, when you end up in a hospital in Canada, you come out with no bill at all. Healthcare is a human right, not a privilege. I believe that. I will fight for that.

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Senador Sanders. Congressista Delaney?

O congressista John Delaney:
Well, I’m right about this. We can create a universal healthcare system to give everyone basic healthcare for free, and I have a proposal to do it, but we don’t have to go around and be the party of subtraction and telling half the country who has private health insurance that their health insurance is illegal. My dad, the union electrician, loved the healthcare he got from the IBEW. He would never want someone to take that away. Half of Medicare beneficiaries now have Medicare Advantage, which is private insurance or supplemental plans. It’s also bad policy. It’ll underfund the industry. Many hospitals will close-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, congressistas. Senador Sanders, eu queria...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Portanto, o meu nome também foi mencionado neste...

Jake Tapper:
-we’re gonna come to you in one second but let me go to Senator Sanders right now. Senator Sanders?

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
O facto é que dezenas de milhões de pessoas perdem o seu seguro de saúde todos os anos quando mudam de emprego, ou o seu empregador muda esse seguro. Se quiser estabilidade no sistema de saúde, se quiser um sistema que lhe dê liberdade de escolha em relação ao médico ou ao hospital, que é um sistema que não o vai levar à falência, a resposta é livrar-se da exploração das empresas farmacêuticas...

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Senador...

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
-e as companhias de seguros...

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, senhor [conversa cruzada].

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
- e passar para o Medicare for All.

O congressista John Delaney:
But now he’s talking about a different issue. What I’m talking about is really simple. We should deal with the tragedy of the uninsured and give everyone healthcare as a right, but why do we gotta be the party of taking something away from people?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Não, ninguém é a festa [conversa cruzada]

Jake Tapper:
Espere um segundo, Senador...

O congressista John Delaney:
That’s what they’re running on-

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Não!

O congressista John Delaney:
They’re running on telling half the country that your health insurance is illegal. It says it right in the bill-

Jake Tapper:
Muito bem, obrigado...

O congressista John Delaney:
We don’t have to do that. We can give everyone healthcare and allow people to have choice. That’s the American way.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Veja -

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, congressista. Senador Warren?

So, look, let’s be clear about this. We are the Democrats. We are not about trying to take away healthcare from anyone. That’s what the Republicans are trying to do. We should stop using Republican talking points in order to talk with each other about how to best provide that healthcare. Now, I want to have a chance to tell the story about my friend Eddie Barkan. Eddie is 35 years old. He has a wife, Rachel. He has a cute little boy named Carl. He also has ALS, and it’s killing him. Eddie has health insurance; good health insurance, and-

Jake Tapper:
Senator … I’m coming right- I’m staying with you. I’m staying with you, but you exceeded your time. Let me just stay with you on Medicare for All.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Muito bem.

Jake Tapper:
At the last debate, you said you’re, “with Bernie on Medicare for All.” Now, Senator Sanders has said that people in the middle class will pay more in taxes to help pay for Medicare for All, though that will be offset by the elimination of insurance premiums and other costs. Are you also, “with Bernie on Medicare for All,” when it comes to raising taxes on middle-class Americans to pay for it?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
So, giant corporations and billionaires are going to pay more; middle class families are going to pay less out of pocket for their healthcare. I’d like to finish talking about Eddie, the guy who has ALS- this isn’t funny. This is somebody who has health insurance, and he’s dying. Every month, he has about $9,000 in medical bills that his insurance company won’t cover. His wife, Rachel, is on the phone for hours, and hours, and hours, begging the insurance company, “Please cover what the doctors say he needs.” He talks about what it’s like to go online with thousands of other people to beg friends, family, and strangers for money so he can cover his medical expenses. The basic profit model of an insurance company is take in as much money as you can in premiums and pay out as little as possible in healthcare coverage. That is not working for Americans across this country-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado - obrigado, Senador.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Medicare for All will fix that, and that’s why I’ll fight for it.

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Senador. Apenas um ponto de esclarecimento e 15 segundos extra - aumentaria os impostos sobre a classe média para pagar o Medicare for All, compensado obviamente pela eliminação dos prémios de seguro, sim ou não?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Os custos irão subir para os bilionários e subir para as empresas. Para as famílias de classe média, os custos - custos totais - irão descer [conversa cruzada].

Jake Tapper:
Governador Bullock, quero trazê-lo aqui. O senhor não apoia o Medicare for All. Como responde ao Senador Warren?

Gov. Steve Bullock:
No. Healthcare is so personal to all of us. Never forget when my 12-year-old son had a heart attack within 24 hours of his life; had to be life flighted to Salt Lake City. But because we had good insurance, he’s here with me tonight. At the end of the day, I’m not gonna support any plan that rips away quality healthcare from individuals. This is an example of wish-list economics. It used to be just Republicans wanted to repeal and replace. Now, many Democrats do, as well. We can get there with a public option, negotiated drug prices, indeed-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Governador Bullock. Quero trazer o Presidente da Câmara Buttigieg sobre se a classe média deve ou não pagar impostos mais elevados em troca de cuidados de saúde garantidos e a eliminação dos prémios de seguro. Como responde, Presidente da Câmara?

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
So, we don’t have to stand up here speculating about whether the public option will be better than- or a Medicare for All environment will be better than the corporate options. We can put it to the test. That’s the concept of my ‘Medicare for All Who Want It’ proposal. That way, if people like me are right that the public alternative is going to be not only more comprehensive, but more affordable than any of the corporate options around there, we’ll see Americans walk away from the corporate options into that Medicare option, and it will become Medicare for All [cross talk] without us having to kick anybody off of their insurance-

Jake Tapper:
Apenas 15 segundos para o esclarecimento. Está disposto a aumentar os impostos sobre os americanos de classe média a fim de ter uma cobertura universal com o desaparecimento dos prémios de seguro, sim ou não?

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
I think you can buy into it. That’s the idea of ‘Medicare for All Who Want It.’ Look, this is a distinction without a difference, whether you’re paying the same money in the form of taxes or premiums. In this country, if you have health coverage … If you don’t have healthcare coverage, you’re paying too much for care, and if you do have health coverage, you’re paying too much for care-

Jake Tapper:
Thank you, Mayor Buttigieg. I want to bring in Congressman O’Rourke on the topic of whether the middle class should pay higher taxes in exchange for universal coverage and the elimination of insurance premiums. What’s your response?

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
The answer is no. The middle class will not pay more in taxes in order to ensure that every American is guaranteed world-class healthcare. I think we’re being offered a false choice; some who want to improve the Affordable Care Act at the margins; others who want a Medicare for All program that will force people off of private insurance. I have a better path – Medicare for America. Everyone who is uninsured is enrolled in Medicare tomorrow. Those who are insufficiently insured [cross talk]

Jake Tapper:
Congressista-

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
-estão matriculados em Medicare-

Jake Tapper:
Apenas até 15 segundos...

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
-e aqueles que têm seguro patrocinado pelo empregador [conversa cruzada]

Jake Tapper:
Quem está aqui a oferecer uma falsa escolha?

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
Jake, this is important. You have some- Governor Bullock, who’s said that we will improve the Affordable Care Act at the margins with a public option. You have others to my right, who are talking about taking away people’s choice for the private insurance they have, or members of unions … I was listening to [cross talk]

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, congressista...

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
-Taylor em Nevada. Os seus membros [conversa cruzada].

Jake Tapper:
-me trazer o Governador Bullock, ele só [conversa cruzada]

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
-want the healthcare they’re offering up for [cross talk]

Jake Tapper:
-he just said you’re offering a false choice, sir.

Gov. Steve Bullock:
Congressman, not at all. It took us decades of false starts to get the Affordable Care Act. So, let’s actually build on it – a public option allowing anyone to buy in. We pay more for prescription drugs than any place, actually, in the world. We’ve got nothing to show for it. Negotiate prescription drug prices, end surprise medical billings. That’s the way that we can get there without disrupting the lives of 160 million people to elect their employer-sponsored health insurance.

Jake Tapper:
Congressman O’Rourke, you can respond.

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
Every estimate that I’ve seen of expanding ACA, even through a public option, still leaves millions of people uninsured and also means that people are not guaranteed the healthcare that they need, as the examples that Senator Warren showed us. Our plan ensures that everyone is enrolled in Medicare or can keep their employer-sponsored insurance. When we listened to the American people, and this is what they want us to do – they want everyone covered, but they want to be able to maintain choice-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, congressista...

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
-e o nosso plano faz isso.

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, congressista. Quero trazer o Senador Klobuchar. O Senador Warren, no início da noite, disse que os Democratas não podem trazer - não podem ganhar a Casa Branca com pequenas ideias e sem espinhas. No último debate, ela disse que aos políticos que não apoiam o Medicare for All falta simplesmente a vontade de lutar por ele. Não apoiam o Medicare for All. O Senador Warren está correcto? Não lhe falta simplesmente vontade de lutar por ele?

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
That is incorrect. I just have a better way to do this. In one of my first debates, Jake, I was called a street fighter from the Iron Range by my opponent. When she said it, I said thank you. This is what I think we need to get done. We need the public option. That’s what Barack Obama wanted, and it would bring healthcare costs down for everyone.

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
By the way, I just don’t buy this. I’ve heard some of these candidates say that it’s somehow not moral if you- not moral to not have that public option. Well, Senator Sanders was actually on a public option bill last year, and that was, Bernie, the Medicaid public option bill that Senator Schatz introduced. Clearly this is the easiest way to move forward quickly, and I wanna get things done. People can’t wait. I’ve got my friend Nicole out there, whose son actually died trying to ration his insulin, as a restaurant manager. He died because he didn’t have enough money to pay for it. Bernie and I have worked on pharmaceutical issues together-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Senador

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
-e podemos obter medicamentos menos caros...

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Como o autor de...

Jake Tapper:
Senator Sanders- I’m going to go to Senator Sanders, then Senator Warren, because you both were mentioned. Senator Sanders?

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
As the author … As the author of the Medicare Bill, let me clear up one thing. As people talk about having insurance, there are millions of people who have insurance. They can’t go to the doctor, and when they come out of the hospital, they go bankrupt. All right? What I am talking about and others up here are talking about is no deductibles and no copayments. Jake, your question is a Republican talking point. At the end of the day … By the way, and by the way … By the way, the healthcare industry will be advertising tonight on this program.

Jake Tapper:
Thank you, Senator. Senator Warren, it’s your turn.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Oh, posso completar isso, por favor?

Jake Tapper:
O seu tempo tinha acabado. 30 segundos.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Hoje à noite farão publicidade com esse ponto de vista.

Jake Tapper:
Senador Warren.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
So, we have to think of this in terms of the big frame. What’s the problem in Washington? It works great for the wealthy. It works great for those who can hire armies of lobbyists and lawyers. And it keeps working great for the insurance companies and the drug companies. What it’s going to take is real courage to fight back against them. These insurance companies do not have a God-given right to make $23 billion dollars in profits and suck it out of our healthcare system.

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Senador...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Eles não têm um direito dado por Deus

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Senador...

Na página oito do projecto de lei, dizia que [conversa cruzada]

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
-por em prática formulários [conversa cruzada]

Jake Tapper:
Quero deixar o congressista Delaney...

Não identificado:
-pulsará todos dos seus seguros [conversa cruzada]

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
para que as pessoas não possam - querem negar a cobertura.

Jake Tapper:
-Obrigado, Senador. Se todos nos pudéssemos limitar às regras da época, isso seria óptimo. Congressista Delaney?

O congressista John Delaney:
So, I was the only- I’m the only one on the stage who actually has experience in the healthcare business, and with all due respect, I don’t think my colleagues understand the business. We have the public option-

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
It’s not a business-

O congressista John Delaney:
-which is great. The public option is great, but it doesn’t go far enough. It doesn’t go far enough. I’m proposing universal healthcare, where everyone gets healthcare, as a basic human right, for free, but they have choices. My plan, ‘Better Care,’ is fully paid for without raising middle-class tax options. So, when we think about this debate-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, congressista...

O congressista John Delaney:
-there’s Medicare for All, which-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, congressista...

O congressista John Delaney:
-é extremo.

Jake Tapper:
I wanna bring in Governor [cross talk] I wanna bring in Governor Hickenlooper. Governor Hickenlooper, I’d like to hear what you have to say about Senator Warren’s suggestion that those people on the stage who are not in favor of Medicare for All lack the political will to fight for it.

Gov. John Hickenlooper:
Bem, obviamente, discordo disso, por mais que respeite ambos os senadores à minha direita. Penso que se trata da questão de os americanos estarem habituados a poder fazer escolhas; de terem o direito de tomar uma decisão. E penso que propor uma opção pública que permita alguma forma de Medicare que talvez seja uma combinação de Medicare Advantage e Medicare, mas as pessoas escolhem-na... Se um número suficiente de pessoas escolher, ela expande-se. A qualidade melhora; o custo diminui; mais pessoas a escolhem. Eventualmente, em 15 anos, poderia chegar lá, mas seria uma evolução, não uma revolução.

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Governador. Senador Warren?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
You know, we have tried this experiment with the insurance companies. And what they’ve done is they’ve sucked billions of dollars out of our healthcare system and they’ve forced people to have to fight to try to get the healthcare coverage that their doctors and nurses say that they need. Why does everybody- why does every doctor, why does every hospital have to fill out so many complicated forms? It’s because it gives insurance companies a chance to say no and to push that cost back on the patient-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Senador Warren...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
-that’s what we have to fight.

Jake Tapper:
-I wanna bring in Marianne Williamson. Ms. Williamson, how do you respond to the criticism from Senator Warren that you’re not willing to fight for Medicare for All?

Marianne Williamson:
I don’t know if Senator Warren said that about me specifically. I admire very much what Senator Warren has said, and what Bernie has said, but I have to say, I have a … I’m normally way over there with Bernie and Elizabeth on this one. I hear the others. I have some concern about that, as well. And I do have concern about what the Republicans would say, and that’s not just a Republican talking point. I do have concern that it will be difficult. I have concern that it will make it harder to win. And I have a concern that it will make it harder to govern, because if that’s our big fight-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Sra. Williamson...

Marianne Williamson:
-então os republicanos vão-nos fechar em tudo o resto.

Jake Tapper:
I’m gonna bring in Mayor Buttigieg. Mayor, Buttigieg, your response?

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
It is time to stop worrying about what the Republicans will say. Look, if it’s true that if we embrace a far-left agenda, they’re gonna say we’re a bunch of crazy socialists. If we embrace a conservative agenda, you know what they’re gonna do? They’re gonna say we’re a bunch of crazy socialists. So, let’s just stand up for the right policy, go out there, and defend it. That’s the policy I’m putting forward. Not because I think it’s the right triangulation between Republicans here and Democrats here; because I think it’s the right answer for people like my mother-in-law, who is here, whose life was saved by the ACA, but who is still far too vulnerable to the fact that the insurance industry does not care about her-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Mayor Buttigieg. Senador Sanders, a sua resposta?

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Let’s be clear what this debate is about. Nobody can defend the dysfunctionality of the current system. What we are taking on is the fact that over the last 20 years, the drug companies and the insurance companies have spent $4.5 billion of your health insurance money on lobbying and campaign contributions. That is why, when I went to Canada the other day, people paid one tenth the price in Canada for insulin-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Senador.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
-that they’re paying in the United States.

Jake Tapper:
Quero trazer o congressista Tim Ryan. Congressista Ryan, a sua resposta?

O congressista Tim Ryan:
Here we are in Detroit, home of the United Auto Workers. We have all our union friends here tonight. This plan that’s being offered by Senator Warren and Senator Sanders will tell those union members who gave away wages in order to get good healthcare that they’re going to lose their healthcare because Washington’s gonna come in and tell them they’ve got a better plan. This is the left and right thing. New and better is this – move Medicare down the 50, allow people to buy in. Kaiser Permanente said that if those 60 million people do that, they will see a 40-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, congressista.

O congressista Tim Ryan:
-redução de 3% nos seus custos de saúde. Deixar as empresas comprarem, Jake, e...

Jake Tapper:
Thank you, Congressman. So, Senator, let’s talk about that. If Medicare for All is enacted, there are more than 600,000 union members here in Michigan who would be forced to give up their private healthcare plans. Now, I understand that it would provide universal coverage, but can you guarantee those union members that the benefits under Medicare for All will be as good as the benefits that their representatives, their union reps, fought hard to negotiate?

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Bem, duas coisas. Serão melhores, porque o Medicare for All é abrangente. Cobre todas as necessidades de cuidados de saúde para os cidadãos idosos. Finalmente, incluirá cuidados dentários, aparelhos auditivos, e óculos.

O congressista Tim Ryan:
But you don’t know-

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Segundo de todos...

O congressista Tim Ryan:
You don’t know that, Bernie.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Second of all [cross talk] I do know, and I wrote the damned bill. Second of all, second of all, many of our union brothers and sisters – nobody wore pro-union than me up here – are now paying high deductibles and copayments. And when we do Medicare for All, instead of having the company putting money into healthcare, they can get decent wage increases, which they’re not getting today [cross talk]

Jake Tapper:
Quero trazer o congressista Ryan para responder ao que o senador Sanders disse.

O congressista Tim Ryan:
I mean, Senator Sanders does not know all of the union contracts in the United States. I’m trying to explain that these union members are losing their jobs. Their wages have been stagnant. The world is crumbling around them. The only thing they have is possibly really good healthcare. And the Democratic message is gonna be, “We’re gonna go in, and the only thing you have left, we’re gonna take it, and we’re gonna do better.” I do not think that’s a recipe for success for us. It’s bad policy, and it’s certainly bad politics.

Jake Tapper:
O congressista Delaney?

O congressista John Delaney:
Assim, o projecto de lei que o Senador Sanders elaborou, por definição, irá baixar a qualidade dos cuidados de saúde, porque diz especificamente que as taxas serão as mesmas que as taxas actuais do Medicare. E os dados são claros, o Medicare não cobre os custos dos cuidados de saúde. Cobre 80 por cento dos custos dos cuidados de saúde neste país, e os seguros privados cobrem 120 por cento.

O congressista John Delaney:
So, if you start underpaying all the healthcare providers, you’re gonna create a two-tier market where wealthy people buy their healthcare with cash, and the people who are forced, like my dad, the union electrician, who will have that healthcare plan taken away from him-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, congressista.

O congressista John Delaney:
-serão forçados a entrar num sistema subfinanciado.

Jake Tapper:
Quero dar ao Senador Sander - quero dar ao Senador Sanders uma oportunidade de responder.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
All right, on the Medicare for All, the hospitals will save substantial sums of money because they’re not gonna be spending a fortune doing billing and the other bureaucratic things that they have to do today-

O congressista John Delaney:
I’ve done the math. It doesn’t add up.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
-segundo de tudo ... Talvez tenha feito isso e ganhado dinheiro com os cuidados de saúde, mas o nosso trabalho é gerir um sistema de saúde sem fins lucrativos. Além disso, quando poupamos $500 mil milhões por ano, acabando com todas as incríveis complexidades que estão a enlouquecer todos os americanos, tentando lidar com as companhias de seguros de saúde...

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Senador...

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
-hospitalares estarão melhor do que estão hoje-

Jake Tapper:
Congressista Delaney, quero dar-lhe uma oportunidade de responder.

O congressista John Delaney:
Listen, his math is wrong. That’s all I’m saying. If his math is wrong, it’s been well-documented that if all the bills were paid at Medicare rate, which is specifically – I think it’s in Section 1200 of their bill, then many hospitals in this country would close. I’ve been going around rural America, and I asked rural hospital administrators one question – if all your bills were paid at the Medicare rate last year, what would happen? They all look at me and say, “We would close.” But the question is why do we have to be so extreme? Why can’t we just give everyone healthcare as a right and allow them to have choice?

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, congressista.

O congressista John Delaney:
I’m starting to think this is not about healthcare-

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, congressista...

O congressista John Delaney:
Esta é uma estratégia anti-privada do sector privado.

Dana Bash:
Thank you, Congressman. We’re gonna move on- we’re gonna move on to the issue of immigration now. There is widespread agreement on this stage on the need for immigration reform, a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, including dreamers, but there are some areas of disagreement. Mayor Buttigieg, you’re in favor of getting rid of the law that makes it a crime to come across the U.S. border illegally. Why won’t that just encourage more illegal immigration?

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
When I am president, illegally crossing the border will still be illegal. We can argue over the finer points of which parts of this ought to be handled by civil law, and which parts ought to be handled by criminal law, but we’ve got a crisis on our hands. And it’s not just a crisis of immigration, it’s a crisis of cruelty and incompetence that has created a humanitarian disaster on our southern border. It is a stain on the United States of America.

Americans want comprehensive immigration reform. And frankly, we’ve been talking about the same framework for my entire adult lifetime – protections for dreamers, making sure that that we have a pathway to citizenship for the undocumented, cleaning up lawful immigration. We know what to do. We know the border security can be part of that package, and we can still be a nation of laws. The problem is we haven’t had the will to get it done in Washington. And now, we have a president who could fix it in a month, because there is that bipartisan agreement, but he needs it to be a crisis rather than an achievement. That will end on my watch.

Dana Bash:
Apenas um ponto de esclarecimento. Levantou a sua mão no último debate. Quer descriminalizar a travessia ilegal da fronteira...

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
In my view, if fraud is involved, then that’s suitable for the criminal statute. If not, then it should be handled under civil law. But these show of hands are exactly what is wrong with the way that this race is being [cross talk]

Dana Bash:
We’re not- we’re not doing that here.

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
Agradeço.

Dana Bash:
Congressman- thank you. Congressman O’Rourke, you live near the U.S.-Mexico border in El Paso. You disagree with Mayor Buttigieg on decriminalizing illegal border crossings. Please respond.

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
Tenho, porque na minha administração, depois de termos renunciado às taxas de cidadania para os titulares do cartão verde, mais de nove milhões dos nossos concidadãos americanos, sonhadores livres... Para muitos, receio de deportação, e parei de processar criminalmente famílias e crianças por procurarem asilo e refúgio, e detenção com fins lucrativos neste país. Em seguida, ajudar esses países da América Central, para que nenhuma família tenha de fazer essa viagem de 2.000 milhas. Depois espero que as pessoas que aqui vêm sigam as nossas leis, e reservamo-nos o direito de as processar criminalmente se não o fizerem.

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, congressista. Senador Warren, diz que a disposição que torna a passagem ilegal da fronteira um crime é totalmente desnecessária. Por favor, responda.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
So, the problem is that, right now, the criminalization statute is what gives Donald Trump the ability to take children away from their parents. It’s what gives him the ability to lock up people at our borders. We need to continue to have border security and we can do that, but what we can’t do is not live our values. I’ve been down to the border. I have seen the mothers. I have seen the cages of babies. We must be a country that every day lives our values, and that means we cannot make-

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, Senador Warren, só para esclarecer...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
-um crime, quando alguém aqui vem.

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, Senador. Só para esclarecer, será que descriminalizaria os postos fronteiriços ilegais?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Sim, a questão não é a criminalização. Isso deu a Donald Trump a ferramenta para separar as famílias.

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, Senador [conversa cruzada] Governador Hickenlooper, a sua resposta?

Gov. John Hickenlooper:
No, I agree that we need secure borders. There’s no question about that. The frustration with what’s going on in Washington is they’re kicking the ball back and forth. Secure the borders; make sure whatever law we have doesn’t allow children to be snatched from their parents and put in cages. How hard can that be? We’ve got … I know, on the two debate nights, we’ve got 170 years of Washington experience. Somehow it seems like that should be fairly fixable.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Well, and one way to fix it is to decriminalize. That’s the whole point. What we’re looking for here is a way to take away the tools that Donald Trump has used-

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, Senador Warren...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
-dividir famílias.

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, Senador Warren. Senador Klobuchar, a sua resposta?

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
I would say there is the will to change this in Congress. What’s missing is the right person in the White House. I believe that immigrants don’t diminish America. They are America. And if you wanna do something about border security, you first of all change the rules, so people can seek asylum in those [inaudible] countries. Then, you pass the bill, and what the bill will do is it’ll rightly reduce the deficit and give us some money for border security, and for border- help processing the cases. Most of all, it will allow for a path to citizenship, because this is not just about the border. Donald Trump-

Dana Bash:
Obrigado...

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
-quere usar estas pessoas como peões políticos...

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, Senador Klobuchar...

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
- quando temos pessoas em todo o nosso país que simplesmente querem trabalhar e obedecer à lei.

Dana Bash:
Thank you. Senator Sanders, you want to provide undocumented immigrants free healthcare and free college. Why won’t this drive even more people to come to the U.S. illegally?

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Because we’ll have a strong border protection. But the main point I want to make is that what Trump is doing, through his racism and his xenophobia, is demonizing a group of people. And as president, I will end that demonization. If a mother and a child walk thousands of miles on a dangerous path, in my view, they are not criminals. They are people fleeing violence.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
I think the main thing that we’ve gotta do, among many others, and Beto made this point, we’ve got to ask ourselves, why are people walking 2,000 miles to a strange country where they don’t know the language? What we will do, the first week we are in the White House, is bring the entire hemisphere together to talk about how we rebuild Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, so people do not have to flee their own country.

Dana Bash:
Thank you- Thank you, Senator. Governor Bullock, about two-thirds of Democratic voters and many of your rivals here for the nomination support giving health insurance to undocumented immigrants. You haven’t gone that far. Why not?

Gov. Steve Bullock:
Look, I think this is part of the discussion that shows how often these debates are detached from people’s lives. We’ve got 100,000 people showing up at the border right now. If we decriminalize entry, if we give healthcare to everyone, we’ll have multiples of that. Don’t take my word. That was President Obama’s Homeland Security Secretary that said that.

Gov. Steve Bullock:
The biggest problem right now that we have with immigration, it’s Donald Trump. He’s using immigration to not only rip apart families but rip apart this country. We can actually get to the point where we have safe borders, where we have a path to citizenship, where we have opportunities for dreamers, and you don’t have to decriminalize everything. What you have to do is have a president in there with the judgment and the decency to treat someone that comes to the border like one of our own.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
You know, I’d [cross talk] just like to add on this-

Dana Bash:
Senador, ele acabou de dizer que o seu plano é irrealista. Como é que responde?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
You know, I think that what we have to do is we have to be an America that is clear about what we want to do with immigration. We need to expand legal immigration. We need to create a path for citizenship, not just for dreamers, but for grandmas and for people who have been working here in the farms and for students who have overstayed their visas. We need to fix the crisis at the border. And a big part of how we do that is we do not play into Donald Trump’s hands. He wants to stir up the crisis at the border, because that’s his overall message. “If there’s anything wrong in your life, blame them!”

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, Senador Warren. Governador Bullock, a sua resposta.

Gov. Steve Bullock:
But you are playing into Donald Trump’s hands. The challenge isn’t that it’s a criminal offense to cross the border. The challenge is that Donald Trump is president and using this to rip families apart. A sane immigration system needs a sane leader, and we can do that without decriminalize providing healthcare for everyone. And it’s not me saying that. That’s Obama’s Homeland Security Secretary that said you’ll cause further problems at the border, not making it better.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
What you’re saying is ignore the law. Laws matter, and it matters if we say our law is that we will lock people up who come here seeking refuge, who come here seeking asylum. That is not a crime. As Americans, what we need to do is have a sane system that keeps us safe at the border, but does not criminalize the-

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, Senador Warren...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:

Dana Bash:
-Thank you. Congressman Ryan, are Senator Sanders’ proposals going to incentivize undocumented immigrants to come into this country illegally?

O congressista Tim Ryan:
Yes. And right now, if you want to come into the country, you should at least ring the doorbell. We have asylum laws. I saw the kids up in Grand Rapids, not far from here. It is shameful what’s happening, but Donald Trump is doing it. Even if you decriminalize, which we should not do, you still have statutory authority. The president could still use his authority to separate families. So, we’ve got to get rid of Donald Trump. But you don’t decriminalize people just walking into the United States, if they’re seeking asylum. Of course, we want to welcome them. We’re a strong enough country to be able to welcome them. And as far as the healthcare goes, undocumented people can buy healthcare, too. I mean, everyone else in America is paying for their healthcare. I don’t think it’s a stretch for us to ask undocumented people in the country to also pay for healthcare.

Dana Bash:
Senador Sanders, a sua resposta?

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Well, two things. A sane immigration policy moves to comprehensive immigration reform. It moves to a humane border policy in which, by the way, we have enough administrative judges, so that we don’t have incredible backlogs that we have right now. But to answer your question, I happen to believe that when I talk about healthcare as a human right, that applies to all people in this country, and under Medicare for All single-payer system, we could afford to do that.

Dana Bash:
Senador Sanders, obrigado, Sra. Williamson, a sua resposta?

Marianne Williamson:
Everything that we’re talking about here tonight is what’s wrong with American politics. And the Democratic Party needs to understand that we should be the party that talks not just about symptoms, but also about causes. When we’re talking about healthcare, we need to talk about more than just the healthcare plan. We need to realize we have a sickness-care rather than a healthcare system. We need to be the party talking about why so many of our chemical policies, and our food policies, and our agricultural policies, and our environmental policies, and even our economic policies are leading to people getting sick to begin with-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado...

Marianne Williamson:
-that’s what the Democratic … But I want to say more about immi-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Sra. Williamson.

Marianne Williamson:
Okay, I hope you’ll come back to me this time.

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Sra. Williamson. Continue.

Don Lemon:
Thank you, Miss Williamson. Let’s turn now to the issue of gun violence. There were three large-scale shootings this past weekend in America – at a park in Brooklyn, on the streets of Philadelphia, and one that left three dead and 12 injured at a food festival in Gilroy, California. Governor- excuse me, Mayor Buttigieg, other than offering words of comfort, what are you specifically going to do to stop this epidemic of gun violence?

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
Well, this epidemic of gun violence has hit my community, too, far too many times. It’s the worst part of being mayor, getting the phone call, consoling grieving parents. And we have a mass shootings’ worth of killings every day in this country. What we’re doing hasn’t worked, because we haven’t had a system in Washington capable of delivering what the American people have told us they want. 80 to 90 percent of Republicans want universal background checks, not to mention the common-sense solutions, like red flag laws that disarm domestic abusers and flag mental-health risks, and an end to assault weapons, things like what I carried overseas in uniform that have no business in American neighborhoods, in peacetime, let alone anywhere near a school.

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
I was at an event a few days ago, and a 13-year-old asked me what we were gonna do about school safety, and then he began shaking, and then began crying. We could talk about these policies, but we already know the policies. The only thing I could think of, looking into the eyes of this child, is we’re supposed to be dealing with this, so you don’t have to. High school is hard enough without having to worry about whether you’re going to get shot-

Don Lemon:
Obrigado...

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
-e quando 90 por cento dos americanos querem que algo aconteça...

Don Lemon:
Obrigado, Presidente da Câmara...

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
-and Washington can’t deliver, we can’t expect the same [cross talk]

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
Eu discordo...

Don Lemon:
Obrigado, Presidente da Câmara...

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
I- I dis

Don Lemon:
Obrigado, Presidente da Câmara. Governador Hickenlooper, a sua resposta, por favor?

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
Não estou de acordo. Discordo do seu diagnóstico...

Don Lemon:
Por favor, aguarde, Senador. Por favor, respeite as regras.

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
Está bem.

Don Lemon:
We’ll get to you. We’ll come to you in just a minute. Governor Hickenlooper, please respond.

Gov. John Hickenlooper:
Well, this is the fundamental nonsense of government. Another thing- another place where, despite our best efforts, we can’t seem to make any progress. When I went to the movie theater in Aurora, in 2012, and saw that footage of what happened, that crime scene, I’ll never forget it. And we decided that we were gonna go out and take on the NRA, and we passed- as a purple state, we passed universal background checks. We limited magazine capacity. We did the basic work that, for whatever reason, doesn’t seem to be able to get done in Washington.

Don Lemon:
Obrigado, Governador. Senador Klobuchar, por favor responda.

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
Yes. This isn’t just about a system or it’s not just about words. This is about the NRA. I sat across from the President of the United States after Parkland, because I’ve been a leader on these issues and have the will to close the boyfriend loophole. I watched and wrote down, when nine times, he said he wanted universal background checks. The next day he goes, and he meets with the NRA, and he folds. As your president, I will not fold. I will make sure that we get universal background checks passed, the assault weapon ban; that we do something about magazines, and that we understand when that sixth little- little six-year-old boy died, Stephen Romero, when his dad said, “He’s only six years old,” all I can say-

Don Lemon:
Muito obrigado, Senador. Mayor Buttigieg, por favor responda.

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
is he’s six years old. We have to remember that.

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
This is the exact same conversation we’ve been having, since- since I was in high school. I was a junior, when the Columbine shooting happened. I was part of the first generation that saw routine school shootings. We have now produced the second school-shooting generation in this country. We dare not allow there to be a third. Something is broken, if it is even possible for the same debate around the same solutions that we all know are the right thing to do. They won’t prevent every incident. They won’t save every life. But we know what to do, and it has not happened.

Don Lemon:
Obrigado, Presidente da Câmara. Senador Klobuchar, por favor responda.

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
Yes. What is broken is a political system that allows the NRA and other large, big money to come in and make things not happen when the majority of people are for it. The people are with us now. After Parkland, those students just didn’t march. They talk to their dads, and their grandpas, and the hunters in their family. And they said, “There must be a better way.” Then we elected people in the House of Representatives, and guess what? It changed, and they passed universal background checks. Now that bill is sitting on Mitch McConnell’s doorstep, because of the money and the power of the NRA. As president, I will take them on-

Don Lemon:
Obrigado, Senador.

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
-isto não se trata de sistemas e palavras.

Don Lemon:
Obrigado, Senador Klobuchar. Governador Bullock, como podem os Democratas confiar em si para ser o líder nesta luta pela segurança das armas, quando só mudou a sua posição para pedir uma proibição de armas de assalto no Verão passado?

Gov. Steve Bullock:
You know, like 40 percent of American households, I’m a gun owner. I hunt. Like far too many people in America, I’ve been personally impacted by gun violence. Had an 11-year-old nephew, Jeremy, shot and killed on a playground. We need to start looking at this as a public health issue, not a political issue. I agree with Senator Klobuchar. It is the NRA, and it’s not just gun violence. It’s when we talk about climate, when we talk about prescription drug costs … Washington, D.C. is captured by dark money, the Koch brothers, and others.

Gov. Steve Bullock:
That’s been the fight of my career. Kicking the Koch brothers out of Montana. Taking the first case after Citizens United up to the Supreme Court, making it so that elections are about people. That’s the way we’re actually going to make a change on this, Don, is by changing that system. Most the things that folks are talking about on this stage, we’re not going to address until we kick dark money, and the post-Citizens United corporate spending out of these elections.

Don Lemon:
Congressman O’Rourke, your response?

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
De que outra forma podemos explicar que perdemos quase 40.000 pessoas neste país devido à violência armada? Um número ao qual nenhum outro país chega sequer perto; que sabemos quais são todas as soluções e, no entanto, nada mudou. É porque, neste país, o dinheiro compra influência, acesso, e, cada vez mais, resultados. Os Centros de Controlo de Doenças impediram, em primeiro lugar, de estudar realmente a questão. Na qualidade de presidente, vamos assegurar-nos de que proibimos as contribuições do comité de acção política a qualquer membro do Congresso ou a qualquer candidato a um cargo federal. Escutaremos as pessoas, não os PACs; pessoas, não as corporações; pessoas, não interesses especiais [conversa cruzada].

Don Lemon:
Congressman, thank you very much. Senator Sanders, you said this in 2013, just months after the Sandy Hook massacre, and I quote here, “If you passed the strongest gun control legislation tomorrow, I don’t think it will have a profound effect on the tragedies we have seen.” Do you still agree with that statement today?

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Penso que temos de fazer ... Penso que o que eu quis dizer foi o que o Presidente Obama disse, e que ninguém aqui em cima lhe vai dizer que temos uma solução mágica para a crise. Agora, venho de um dos estados mais rurais da América. Tenho um registo de voto D- da NRA; e como presidente, suspeito que será um registo F. O que acredito que temos de fazer é ter a coragem de finalmente enfrentar a ARN.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Perguntou-me sobre o meu registo. Em 1988, vindo de um estado que não tinha controlo de armas, pedi a proibição da venda e distribuição de armas de assalto. Perdi essa eleição. Farei tudo o que estiver ao meu alcance não só para enfrentar o NRA, mas também para expandir as grandes verificações universais de antecedentes, acabar com a provisão de palhaços, acabar com a brecha do show de armas, e acabar com as brechas que agora existem para os fabricantes de armas, que estão a vender grandes quantidades de armas em comunidades que vão para gangues.

Don Lemon:
Sim. Mayor Buttigieg, a sua resposta?

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
Still, the conversation that we’ve been having for the last 20 years. Of course, we need to get money out of politics. But when I propose the actual structural democratic reforms that might make a difference in the Electoral College, amend the Constitution, if necessary, to clear up Citizens United, have D.C. actually be a state, and depoliticize the Supreme Court with structural reform, people look at me funny; as if this country were incapable of structural reform. Does anybody really think we’re gonna overtake Citizens United without constitutional action? This is a country that once changed its constitution so you couldn’t drink, and then changed it back, because we changed our minds about that-

Don Lemon:
Obrigado. Obrigado, Presidente da Câmara...

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
-and you’re telling me we can’t reform our democracy in our time?

Don Lemon:
Obrigado, Presidente da Câmara...

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
We have to, or we’ll be having the same argument 20 years from now [cross talk]

Don Lemon:
Por favor, responda, Governador Bullock.

Gov. Steve Bullock:
You can make changes. Even in Montana with a two-thirds Republican legislature, we passed a law that said if you’re gonna spend money in our elections, I don’t care if you call yourself Americans for America for America, you’re gonna have to disclose every one of those dollars in the last 90 days. I’ll never forget running for re-election in 2016. Even we stopped the Koch brothers from spending at that time. If we can kick the Koch brothers out of Montana, we can do it in D.C., and we can do it everywhere-

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
So, I’d like to be heard on this-

Gov. Steve Bullock:
-and we are also taking steps, additional steps that we’ve taken … I’ve passed an executive order, if you’re even in a contract with the state, you have to disclose-

Don Lemon:
Muito obrigado - Governador Bullock, muito obrigado. Sra. Williamson, como [falar em cruz]

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
So, I’d like to have a chance on this.

Don Lemon:
-responde a esta questão da segurança das armas?

Marianne Williamson:
The issue of gun safety, of course, is that the NRA has us in a chokehold, but so do the pharmaceutical companies, so do the health insurance companies, so do the fossil fuel companies, and so do the defense contractors. And none of this will change until we either pass a constitutional amendment or pass legislation that establishes public funding for federal campaigns. But for politicians, including my fellow candidates, who, themselves, have taken tens of thousands, and in some cases, hundreds of thousands of dollars from these same corporate donors to think that they now have the moral authority to say we’re gonna take them on …

Marianne Williamson:
I don’t think the Democratic Party should be surprised that so many Americans believe yada, yada, yada. It is time for us to start over with people who have not taken donations from any of these corporations and can say with real moral authority, that is over. We are going to establish public funding for federal campaigns. That’s what we need to stand up to. We need to have a constitutional amendment. We need to have legislation to do it, and until we do it, it’s just the same old, same old-

Don Lemon:
Obrigado, Sra. Williamson.

Jake Tapper:
In poll after poll, Democratic voters say that they want a candidate who can beat President Trump more than they want a candidate who agrees with them on major issues. Governor Hickenlooper, you ran a Facebook ad that warned, quote, “Socialism is not the answer.” The ad also said, “Don’t let extremes give Trump four more years.” Are you saying that Senator Sanders is too extreme to beat President Trump?

Gov. John Hickenlooper:
I’m saying the policies of this notion that you’re gonna take private insurance away from 180 million Americans, who, many of them don’t want to give it; many of them do wanna get rid of it, but some don’t. Many don’t. Or you’re gonna … The Green New Deal – make sure that every American’s guaranteed a government job, if they want. That is a disaster at the ballot box. You might as well FedEx the election to Donald Trump.

Gov. John Hickenlooper:
I think we’ve gotta focus on where Donald Trump is failing. You know, the word malpractice- and this is interesting, I always thought it was doctors or lawyers. It’s negligent, improper, illegal professional activity for doctors, lawyers, or public officials. Google it. Check it out. Donald Trump is malpractice personified. We’ve gotta point that out. Why is it soybean farmers in Iowa need 10 good years to get back to where they were two years ago, or it’s the small manufacturing jobs that are supposed to come back? Why are we lurching from one international crisis to another? All things that he promised American voters. We’ve gotta focus on that, and the economy, and jobs, and training, so that we can promise a future for America that everybody wants to invest in.

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Governador. Senador Sanders, o senhor é um orgulhoso socialista democrático. Como responde ao Governador Hickenlooper?

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Well, the truth is that every credible poll that I have seen has me beating Donald Trump, including- including the battleground states of Michigan, where I won the Democratic primary, Wisconsin, where I won the Democratic primary, and Pennsylvania. And the reason we are gonna defeat Trump, and beat him badly, is that he took a fraud and a phony, and we’re gonna expose him for what he is.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
The American people want to have a minimum wage, which is a living wage, 15 bucks an hour. I’ve helped lead that effort. The American people want to pay reasonable prices for prescription drugs, not the highest prices in the world-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Senador.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
I’ve helped lead the effort to that, as well.

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Senador. Governador Hickenlooper. Quero trazê-lo de volta para responder.

Gov. John Hickenlooper:
So, again, I think if we’re gonna force Americans to make these radical changes, they’re not gonna go along … Throw your hands up.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Assim farei!

Gov. John Hickenlooper:
But you haven’t. Whoa-ho, I can do it! But you haven’t implemented the plans. Us governors and mayors are the ones that we have to pick up all the pieces, when suddenly the government’s supposed to take over all these responsibilities. There’s no preparation, the details on what … You can’t just spring a plan on the world and expect it to succeed.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
John-

Jake Tapper:
O Senador Sanders.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
John, I was a mayor, and I helped transform my city [cross talk] I have some practical experience. Second of all, interestingly enough, today is the anniversary of Medicare. Fifty-four years ago, under Lyndon Johnson, and the Democratic Congress, they started a new program. After one year, 19 million elderly people in it. Please don’t tell me that, in a four-year period, we cannot go from 65 down to 55, to 45, to 35. This is not radical. This is what virtually every other country on earth does-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Senador...

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
-somos o tipo estranho que está fora.

Jake Tapper:
Thank you, Senator. I wanna bring- I wanna bring in Congressman Ryan. You’re from the state of Ohio. It’s a state that voted twice for Obama, and then went to President Trump in 2016. Please respond to Senator Sanders.

O congressista Tim Ryan:
I would just say Hillary Clinton was winning in the polls, too. To take a snapshot in the polls today, and apply it 16 months from now, or whenever it is, I don’t think is accurate. Now, in this discussion already tonight, we’ve talked about taking private health insurance away from union members in the industrial Midwest. We’ve talked about decriminalizing the border, and we’ve talked about giving free healthcare to undocumented workers, when so many Americans are struggling to pay for their healthcare. I, quite frankly, don’t think that that is an agenda that we can move forward on and win. We’ve got to talk about the working-class issues, the people that take a shower after work, who haven’t had a raise in 30 years.

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado [conversa cruzada]

O congressista Tim Ryan:
-if we focus on that, we’ll win the election.

Jake Tapper:
Thank you, Congressman. I wanna bring in Congressman O’Rourke. Your response, sir?

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
Bernie was talking about some of the battleground states in which we compete. There’s a new battleground state, Texas, and it has 38 Electoral College votes. And the way that we put it in play was by going to each one of those 254 counties. No matter how red or rural, we did not write you off; no matter how blue or urban, we did not take you for granted. And we didn’t trim our sails either. We had the courage of our convictions, talking about universal healthcare, comprehensive immigration reform, and confronting the challenge of climate before it is too late. We brought everyone in, and now we have a chance to beat Donald Trump within Texas.

Jake Tapper:
Thank you, Congressman, I’m wondering, Governor Bullock, we’re talking about whether Democrats are moving too far to the left to win the White House. President Trump won your home state of Montana by 20 points. How do you respond, sir?

Gov. Steve Bullock:
Yeah, as the only one of the field of 37 that actually won a Trump state, 25 to 30 percent of my voters voted for Donald Trump. I know that we do have to win back some of those places we lost and get those Trump voters back, if we’re ever going to win. But this isn’t just a choice between the left and the center. It’s not a choice just between these wishlist economics or thinking that we have to sacrifice our values to actually win. What folks want is a fair shot. The way I won, the way we can win is to actually focus on the economy and democracy aren’t working for most people-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Governador.

Gov. Steve Bullock:
-that’s how I win. That’s how we can take back the office.

Jake Tapper:
Thank you, Governor. Senator Warren, you make it a point to say that you’re a capitalist. Is that your way of convincing voters that you might be a safer choice than Senator Sanders?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
No, it is my way of talking about I know how to fight, and I know how to win. I took on giant banks, and I beat them. I took on Wall Street, and CEOs, and their lobbyists, and their lawyers, and I beat them. I took on a popular Republican incumbent senator, and I beat him. I remember when people said Barack Obama couldn’t get elected. Shoot, I remember when people said Donald Trump couldn’t get elected. But here is where we are. I get it. There is a lot at stake, and people are scared, but we can’t choose a candidate we don’t believe in, just because we’re too scared to do anything else. We can’t ask other people to vote for a candidate we don’t believe in. Democrats win when we figure out what is right, and we get out there and fight for it. I am not afraid. And for Democrats to win, you can’t be afraid either.

Jake Tapper:
Congressista Delaney, a sua resposta?

O congressista John Delaney:
So, I think Democrats win when we run on real solutions, not impossible promises; when we run on things that are workable, not fairy tale economics. Look at this story of Detroit – this amazing city that we’re in. This city is turning around because the government and the private sector are working well together. That has to be our model going forward. We need to encourage collaboration between the government, the private sector, and the non-profit sector and focus on those kitchen table pocketbook issues that matter to hardworking Americans – building infrastructure, creating jobs, improving their pay-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, congressista...

O congressista John Delaney:
-criar cuidados de saúde universais e baixar os preços dos medicamentos. Nós podemos fazê-lo.

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, congressista. Senador Warren?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
You know, I don’t understand why anybody goes to all the trouble of running for president of the United States just to talk about what we really can’t do and shouldn’t fight for. I don’t get it. Our biggest problem in Washington is corruption. It is giant corporations that have taken our government and that are holding it by the throat. And we need to have the courage to fight back against that. Until we’re ready to do that, it’s just more of the same. Well, I’m ready to get in this fight. I’m ready to win this fight.

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Senador. Congressista Delaney?

O congressista John Delaney:
When we created Social Security, we didn’t say pensions were illegal. We can have big ideas to transform the lives … I mean, I started two companies and took them public before I was 40. I’m as big of a dreamer and an entrepreneur as anyone, but I also believe we need to have solutions that are workable. Can you imagine if we tried to start Social Security now, but said private pensions are illegal? That’s the equivalent of what Senator Sanders and Senator Warren are proposing with healthcare. That’s not a big idea. That’s an idea that’s dead on arrival. That will never happen. So why don’t we actually talk about things, big ideas that we can get done? The stakes are too high-

Jake Tapper:
Thank you, Congressman. Senator Warren? [cross talk] We’ll come to you right after that. Senator Warren?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
He talks about solutions that are workable. We have tried the solution of Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance. What have the private insurance companies done? They’ve sucked billions of dollars out of our healthcare system. They’ve made everybody fill out dozens, and dozens of forms. Why? Not because they’re trying to track your healthcare. They just want one more excuse to say no. Insurance companies do not have a God-given right to suck money out of our healthcare system-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Senador...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
-e 2020 é a nossa oportunidade de acabar com isso.

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Senador. Senador Sanders?

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Detroit was mentioned, and I’m delighted that Detroit is rebounding, but let us understand, Detroit was nearly destroyed because of awful trade policy, which allowed corporations to throw workers in this community out on the street as they moved to low-wage countries. To win this election, and to defeat Donald Trump, which, by the way, in my view, is not gonna be easy, we need to have a campaign of energy, and excitement, and a vision. We need to bring millions of young people into the political process in a way that we have never seen, by, among other things, making public colleges and universities tuition free and canceling student debt-

Jake Tapper:
Thank you, Senator. Thank you, Senator. I wanna bring in … I wanna bring in Senator Klobuchar. At the beginning of the night, you said, “You’re gonna hear a lot of promises on the stage,” and previously you have said, when asked about your primary opponents, “A lot of people are making promises, and I’m not gonna make promises just to get elected.” Who on this stage is making promises just to get elected?

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
Everyone wants to get elected, but my point is this – I think when we have a guy in the White House that has now told over 10,000 lies that we better be very straightforward with the American people. And, no, do I think that we are gonna end up voting for a plan that kicks half of America off of their current insurance in four years? No, I don’t think we’re gonna do that. I think there is a better way to get what we all want to see, which is lower costs for healthcare.

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
Do I think that we’re gonna vote to give free college to the wealthiest kids? No, I don’t think we’re gonna do that. That’s what I’m talking about. But what I don’t like about this argument right now, what I don’t like about it at all, is that we are more worried about winning an argument than winning an election. I think how we win an election is to bring everyone with us. Yes, I have won, in a state, every single time statewide … I have won those congressional districts that Donald Trump won by over 20 points. He just targeted Minnesota last week. I’ve done it by getting out there and talking to people, by knowing rural issues, and farm issues-.

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Senador Klobuchar...

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
-and bringing metro people with me in this state that had the highest voter turnout in this country. That’s what we want.

Jake Tapper:
Thank you, Senator [cross talk] I wanna bring Congressman O’Rourke … Congressman O’Rourke, please respond.

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
Penso que uma grande parte da liderança e da demonstração do nosso compromisso com o povo americano está a cumprir os nossos compromissos. Como membro do Congresso, quando soube que o El Paso V.A. teve os piores tempos de espera por cuidados de saúde mental no país, o que significa que os cuidados atrasados funcionalmente passaram a ser negados e estavam relacionados com a epidemia de suicídio, fizemos disso a nossa prioridade, e demos a volta ao V.A. em El Paso. Tomámos essa lição a nível nacional, e eu trabalhei com colegas republicanos e democratas para expandir os cuidados de saúde mental aos veteranos, e conseguimos que a lei fosse assinada pela única pessoa com quem concordo em quase nada - Donald Trump - para mostrar que, no final do dia, vamos colocar o povo americano em primeiro lugar antes do partido, antes de qualquer outra preocupação.

Dana Bash:
Thank you- Thank you, Congressman O’Rourke. We’ve been asking voters to weigh in on what they’d most like to hear Democrats debate. Among the topics they told us they’re most interested in – the climate crisis. Congressman Delaney, I’ll start with you. You say the Green New Deal is about as realistic as Trump saying Mexico is going to pay for the wall, but scientists say we need essentially to eliminate fossil fuel pollution by 2050 to avoid the most catastrophic consequences. Why isn’t this sweeping plan to fight the climate crisis realistic?

O congressista John Delaney:
Well, first of all, because it ties its progress to other things that are completely unrelated to climate, like universal healthcare, guaranteed government jobs, and universal basic income. So that only makes it harder to do. My plan, which gets us to Net Zero by 2050, which we absolutely have to do for our kids and our grandkids, will get us there. I put a price on carbon. Take all the money, give it back to the American people in a dividend. That was introduced by me on a bipartisan basis. It’s the only significant bipartisan climate bill in the Congress.

O congressista John Delaney:
I’m gonna increase the Department of Energy research budget by fivefold, because we fundamentally have to innovate our way out of this problem. I’m gonna create a market for something called direct air capture, which are machines that actually take carbon out of the atmosphere, because I don’t think we’ll get to Net Zero by 2050 unless we have those things. I’m gonna increase investment in renewables, and I’m gonna create something called the Climate Corps. That is a plan that’s realistic. It’s a bet on the U.S. private innovation economy and creates the incentives to get us to Net Zero by 2050 for our kids-

Dana Bash:
Thank you- thank you, Congressman. Senator Warren, you’re a co-sponsor of the Green New Deal. Your response to Congressman Delaney.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Portanto, a crise climática é a crise existencial para o nosso mundo. Coloca em risco todos os seres vivos deste planeta. Tenho um plano para uma política industrial verde que tira partido do facto de fazermos aquilo que fazemos melhor e que é inovar e criar. Assim, propus colocar $2 triliões, para que façamos a investigação. Dizemos então que qualquer pessoa no mundo pode utilizá-lo, desde que o construa aqui mesmo na América. Isso produzirá cerca de 1,2 milhões de postos de trabalho de fabrico aqui mesmo no Michigan, aqui mesmo no Ohio, aqui mesmo no meio-oeste industrial. A segunda coisa que faremos é vender esses produtos em todo o mundo. Neste momento, por cada dólar, os Estados Unidos...

Dana Bash:
Obrigado.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
-despende a tentar comercializar em todo o mundo-

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, Senador Warren...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
-China’s spending $100-

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, Senador Warren. Governador Hickenlooper, o senhor discorda do New Deal Verde. Por favor, responda.

Gov. John Hickenlooper:
Well, I think the guarantee for a public job for everyone who wants one is a classic part of the problem. It’s a distraction. I share the urgency of everyone up here. We have to recognize … I mean, everyone’s got good ideas. What we do in this country is no better than just a best practice. What we do here is a best practice and a template, but it’s gotta be done all over the world. So, we’ve gotta be building bridges right now with people, like China, who are cheating on international agreements and stealing intellectual property. We need to work on that, but not with a tariff system. We need every country working together, if we’re gonna really deal with climate change in a realistic way.

Dana Bash:
Obrigado. Senador Warren, a sua resposta?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Look, I put a real policy on the table to create 1.2 million new jobs in green manufacturing. It’s gonna be a $23 trillion worldwide market for this. This could revitalize huge cities across this country, and no one wants to talk about it. What you wanna do instead is find the Republican talking point of a made-up piece of some other part and say, “Oh, we don’t really have to do anything.” That’s the problem we’ve got in Washington right now.

Dana Bash:
Obrigado...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Continua a ser uma Washington que funciona bem para as empresas petrolíferas, mas não para as pessoas preocupadas com as alterações climáticas.

Dana Bash:
Thank you, Senator Warren. Congressman Ryan, we are here in Michigan, where there are about 180,000 workers in auto manufacturing. Your state of Ohio has around 96,000 workers in that industry. Senator Sanders is cosponsoring a bill that would eliminate new gas-powered car sales by 2040. Given the number of auto manufacturing workers in your state, how concerned are you about Senator Sanders’ plan?

O congressista Tim Ryan:
Well, if we get our act together, we won’t have to worry about it. My plan is to create a chief manufacturing officer, so we could actually start making things in the United States again that would pool the government, the Department of Energy, Department of Transportation; work with the private sector, work with investors, emerging tech companies to dominate the electric vehicle market. China dominates it now, 50 to 60 percent. I want us to dominate the battery market, make those here in the United States, and cut the workers in on the deal. The charging stations, solar panels, same thing. China dominates 60 percent of the solar panel market. This person will work in the White House, report directly to me, and we’re gonna start making things again.

O congressista Tim Ryan:
But you cannot get there on climate, unless we talk about agriculture. We need to convert our industrial agriculture system over to a sustainable and regenerative agriculture system that actually sequesters carbon into the soil – you can go ask Gabe Brown and Alan Williams, who actually make money off of regenerative agriculture – so we can move away from all the subsidies that we’re giving the farmers. They haven’t made a profit in five years, and we could start getting good food into our schools and into our communities. That’s gonna drive healthcare down. That’s another part of the healthcare conversation that we didn’t even have. How do we start talking about health, instead of just disease care?

Dana Bash:
Obrigado. Obrigado, congressista Ryan. Senador Sanders, a sua resposta?

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
I get a little bit tired of Democrats afraid of big ideas. Republicans are not afraid of big ideas. They could give a trillion dollars in tax breaks to billionaires and profitable corporations. They could bail out the crooks on Wall Street. So, please don’t tell me that we cannot take on the fossil fuel industry, and nothing happens unless we do that. Here is the bottom line. We’ve gotta ask ourselves a simple question – what do you do with an industry that knowingly, for billions of dollars in short-term profits, is destroying this planet? I say that it’s criminal activity that cannot be allowed to continue-

Dana Bash:
Obrigado - Obrigado, Senador Sanders. Congressista, a sua resposta?

O congressista Tim Ryan:
Well, yeah, I would just say … I didn’t say we couldn’t get there til 2040, Bernie. You don’t have to yell. I mean, all I’m saying is- all I’m saying is we have to invent our way out of this thing. If we’re waiting for 2040 for a ban to come in on gasoline vehicles, we’re screwed. So, we’d better get busy now. That’s why I’m saying get a chief manufacturing officer; align the environmental incentives with the financial incentives and make sure that people can actually make money off of the new technologies that are moving forward. Then, here’s what I’ll do as president-

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, congressista.

O congressista Tim Ryan:
-cortar o trabalhador no acordo, garantir que estes são empregos sindicais, e eu duplicarei a filiação sindical para garantir que estes novos empregos paguem o que os antigos empregos de combustíveis fósseis pagavam.

Dana Bash:
Senador Sanders, a sua resposta.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Look, on this issue, my friends, there is no choice. We have got to be super-aggressive, if we love our children and if we want to leave them a planet that is healthy and is habitable. So, I don’t disagree with Tim. What that means is we gotta, A) take on the fossil fuel industry; B) it means we have to transform our energy system away from fossil fuel to energy efficiency and sustainable energy, and a hell of a lot of good union jobs as we do that. We’ve gotta transform our transportation system-

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, Senador...

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
-e temos de liderar o mundo, porque esta não é apenas uma questão americana.

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, Senador Sanders. Governador Bullock, a sua resposta?

Gov. Steve Bullock:
You know, all of us agree that we have to address climate change. No one on this stage is talking about, though, the Republicans won’t even acknowledge that climate change is real, Dana, and that’s because of the corrupting influence of money. That has been the fight of my career. And second of which, as we transition to this clean energy economy, you gotta recognize there are folks that have spent their whole life powering our country. Far too often, Democrats sound like they’re part of the problem. We gotta make sure to aid in those transitions as we get to a carbon neutral world, which I think we can do by 2040-

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, Governador. Só para esclarecer, quem é parte do problema?

Gov. Steve Bullock:
Who? Oh, no. I think Democrats often, when they’re saying, “Oh, these fossil fuel industries, these workers, those coal mining workers …” Look, the world is changing. We gotta make it change, but I think Democrats often sound like the people that, as Congressman Ryan would say, shower at the end of the day; that they’re part of the problem. Far too many communities are being left behind as we make this transition.

Dana Bash:
Obrigado.

Gov. Steve Bullock:
Look, we’re having this discussion, and we can talk about competing plans-.

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, Governador. Quero dar ao Senador Sanders uma oportunidade de responder.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Look, Steve, ain’t nobody in the Congress who’s more strongly for workers than I am. So, when I talk about picking on the fossil fuel industry, what I am also talking about is a just transition. We can create, and what the Green New Deal is about- it’s a bold idea. We can create millions of good paying jobs. We can rebuild communities in rural America that have been devastated. We are not anti-worker. We are gonna provide, and make sure that those workers have a transition – new jobs, healthcare, and education [cross talk]

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, Senador.

Não identificado:
Dana-

Dana Bash:
-Governador Bullock, a sua resposta?

Gov. Steve Bullock:
And look, Bernie, I was a union side labor lawyer. I fought day after day, and I know- But we set this up as a false choice far too often. Are we gonna actually address climate change? Fire seasons are 80 days longer in the West now … Or are we going to give people a better shot at a better life? You can do both. Let’s actually have the scientists drive this. Let’s not just talk about plans that are written for press releases that will go nowhere else, if we can’t even get a Republican to acknowledge that the climate’s changing-

Dana Bash:
Thank you, Governor. Congressman O’Rourke, your response.

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
I’ve listened to scientists on this, and they’re very clear. We don’t have more than 10 years to get this right. We won’t meet that challenge with half steps, or half measures, or only half the country. We’ve gotta bring everyone in. The people of Detroit and those that I listened to in Flint last week, they want the challenge. They want those jobs. They wanna create the future for this country and the world. Those community college students that I met in Tucumcari, New Mexico understand that wind and solar jobs are the fastest growing jobs in the country. Those farmers in Iowa say, “Pay me for the environmental services of planting cover crops and keeping more land in conservation easements.” That’s how we meet the challenge. We do it with everyone in this country. We bring everyone into the solution.

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, congressista. Mayor Buttigieg, a sua resposta.

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
We have all put out highly similar visions on climate. It is all theoretical. We will deal with climate, if and only if we win the presidency, if and only if we beat Donald Trump. Nominate me, and you get to see the President of the United States stand next to an American war veteran and explain why he chose to pretend to be disabled when it was his chance to serve. Nominate me, and we will have a different conversation with American voters about why the President of the United States thinks you’re a sucker when the problem in your life is your paycheck is not going up nearly as fast as the cost of housing, or the cost of education, or the cost of prescription drugs.

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, Mayor Buttigieg...

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
-e nada fez a não ser fazer cortes fiscais para as empresas [conversa cruzada]

Dana Bash:
Senator Klobuchar, I wanna ask you about something that CNN heard from a Michigan Democratic primary voter. We’ve been reaching out and getting their questions. Kimber from Birmingham, Michigan, has this question – what is your plan to address infrastructure, including the water issues, so another Flint, Michigan, does not happen again?

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
Thank you, Dana. I was just in Flint, and they are still drinking bottled water in that town, and that is outrageous. My plan, and I am the first one that came out with an infrastructure plan – and I did that because this is a bread-and-butter issue … It’s a bread-and-butter issue for people that are caught in traffic jams. I think the governor here in Michigan smartly ran on the slogan, “Fix the damned roads.” It is an issue for union jobs. I think what we need to do is not have a president that’s promised he was gonna do that, on election night, if anyone remembers, and then he hasn’t followed through. He has done nothing. He blew up a meeting at the White House.

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
I would put a trillion dollars into this, and I would pay for it by, first of all, changing the capital gains rate; by doing something when it comes to that regressive tax bill that left everyone behind, but really made his Mar-a-lago friends richer, as he promised, and I would take that money and put it into rural broadband and green infrastructure, so you won’t have what you just saw in Detroit with the Jefferson Chalmers neighborhood, the African neighborhood that was- African-American neighborhood that was most hit, when you had those recent rainstorms. I truly believe that if we’re gonna move on infrastructure-

Dana Bash:
Obrigado...

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
-sobre as alterações climáticas, precisa de uma voz do coração [conversa de cruz]

Dana Bash:
Thank you, Senator Klobuchar. Ms. Williamson, what’s your response on the Flint water crisis?

Marianne Williamson:
A minha resposta à crise da água de Flint é que Flint é apenas a ponta do iceberg. Estive recentemente na Dinamarca, na Carolina do Sul, onde é ... Fala-se muito de ser o próximo Flint. Temos uma administração que eviscerou a Lei da Água Limpa. Temos comunidades, particularmente comunidades de cor, e comunidades desfavorecidas em todo este país que estão a sofrer de injustiça ambiental. Asseguro-vos - vivi em Grosse Pointe - que o que aconteceu em Flint não teria acontecido em Grosse Pointe.

Marianne Williamson:
This is part of the dark underbelly of American society – the racism, the bigotry … And the entire conversation that we’re having here tonight, if you think any of this wonkiness is going to deal with this dark psychic force of the collectivized hatred that this president is bringing up in this country, then I’m afraid that the Democrats are going to see some very dark days. We need to say it like it is. It’s bigger than Flint. It’s all over this country. It’s particularly people of color; it’s particularly people who do not have the money to fight back. And if the Democrats don’t start saying it, then why would those people feel that they’re there for us? And if those people don’t feel it, they won’t vote for us, and Donald Trump will win.

Don Lemon:
Muito obrigado, Sra. Williamson.

Marianne Williamson:
Obrigado.

Don Lemon:
We wanna turn now to the issue of race in America. Congressman O’Rourke, President Trump is pursuing a re-election strategy based in part on racial division. How do you convince primary voters that you’d be the best nominee to take on President Trump and heal the racial divide in America?

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
We’ll call his racism out for what it is and also talk about its consequences. It doesn’t just offend our sensibilities to hear him say, “Send her back,” about a member of Congress, because she’s a woman of color, because she’s a Muslim-American. Doesn’t just offend our sensibilities when he calls Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals or seeks to ban all Muslims from the shores of a country that’s comprised of people from the world over from every tradition of faith.

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
It is also changing this country. Hate crimes are on the rise, every single one of the last three years. On the day that he signed his executive order attempting to ban Muslim travel, the mosque in Victoria, Texas, was burned to the ground. So we must not only stand up against Donald Trump and defeat him in this next election, but we must also ensure that we don’t just tolerate or respect our differences, but we embrace them. That’s what we’ve learned in El Paso, Texas, my hometown – one of the safest cities in the United States of America, not despite, but because it’s a city of immigrants, and asylum seekers, and refugees. We will show that diversity is our strength in my administration.

Don Lemon:
Thank you- Congressman O’Rourke, thank you very much. Governor Hickenlooper, why are you the best nominee to heal the racial divide in America? Please respond.

Gov. John Hickenlooper:
Well, the core value behind this entire country’s history is working towards a more perfect union – that all people are created equal. And we’ve fallen far away from that. I think the job is incumbent on any one of us to make the convincing case that we can deliver an urban agenda that represents progress in schools.

Gov. John Hickenlooper:
In Colorado, when I was mayor, we got to universal pre-K for every kid in the urban city. We did major police reform 10 years before Ferguson. Why is it now that five years after Ferguson, we still don’t have anything? How did we get affordable housing? We create a scholarship fund for every kid. You’ve gotta deliver a vision like that for the whole country.

Don Lemon:
Thank you, Governor. Senator Warren, I’m coming to you now.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Sim.

Don Lemon:
Last week, the FBI director, Christopher Wray, said that the majority of domestic terrorism cases this year had been motivated by white supremacy. In fact, the alleged shooter in this weekend’s attack in Gilroy, California referenced a well-known white supremacist book on social media. How are you going to combat the rise of white supremacy?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Precisamos de chamar à supremacia branca pelo que é - o terrorismo doméstico. Ele representa uma ameaça para os Estados Unidos da América. Vivemos agora num país onde o presidente está a promover o racismo ambiental, o racismo económico, o racismo na justiça penal, o racismo nos cuidados de saúde. A forma como fazemos melhor é contra-atacar e mostrar algo melhor.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
So, I have a plan, for example, on education that says we have to build a better education system for all our kids, but we’ve got to acknowledge what’s happened on race. My plan has universal tuition-free college for all of our kids, but also increases the Pell Grants and levels the playing field by putting $50 billion into historically black colleges and universities. It cancels student loan debt for 95 percent of the kids with student loan debt and helps close the black-white wealth gap in America.

Don Lemon:
Thank you, Senator, very much. Mayor Buttigieg, you’ve been criticized for your handling of racial issues in your home city of South Bend – from diversity in the police force to housing policy. Given your record, how can you convince African-Americans that you should be the Democratic nominee?

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
As an urban mayor serving a diverse community, the racial divide lives within me. I’m not saying that I became mayor, and racism, or crime, or poverty ended on my watch, but in our city, we have come together repeatedly to tackle challenges like the fact that far too many people were not getting the help they needed in their housing. We directed it to a historically underinvested African-American neighborhood. Right now, in the wake of a police-involved shooting, our community is moving from hurting to healing by making sure that the community can participate in things like revising the use of force policy and making sure there are community voices on the board of safety that handles police matters.

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
I’ve proposed a Douglas plan to tackle this issue nationally, because mayors have hit the limits of what you can do unless there is national action. Systemic racism has touched every part of American life, from housing, to health, to homeownership. If you walk into an emergency room, and you are Black, your reports of pain will be taken less seriously. If you apply for a job, if you are Black, you are less likely to be called, just because of the name on the resume. It’s why I’ve proposed that we do everything from investing in historically red-lined neighborhoods to build Black wealth in homeownership-

Don Lemon:
Obrigado, Presidente da Câmara...

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
-apoiar o empreendedorismo dos negros americanos.

Thank you very much. Senator Klobuchar, what do you say to those Trump voters who prioritize the economy over the president’s bigotry?

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
Well, first of all, there are people that voted for Donald Trump before that aren’t racist. They just wanted a better shake in the economy, so I would appeal to them. But I don’t think anyone can justify what this president is doing. Little kids literally woke up this weekend, turned on the TV, and saw their president calling their city – the town of Baltimore – nothing more than a home for rats. I can tell you, as your president, that will stop.

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
The second thing I would say is that economic opportunity means economic opportunity for everyone in this country. I know that, because I have lived it. And that means when we put out there better childcare, and a better education, and we pay teachers more, and we make sure there’s a decent retirement system in place, yes, we help the African-American community. We must, because they have been the ones that have been most hurt by what we’ve seen in the last decade, but we help everyone. What I say to the people in my rural parts of my state, just like I say to them in the city and bring them together, is that economic opportunity must be there for everyone.

Don Lemon:
Senator Klobuchar, thank you very much. Congressman O’Rourke, please respond.

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
I want to acknowledge something that we’re all touching on, which is the very foundation of this country. The wealth that we have built, the way we became the greatest country on the face of the planet was literally on the backs of those who were kidnapped and brought here by force. The legacy of slavery, and segregation, and Jim Crow, and suppression is alive and well in every aspect of the economy, and in the country today. As president, I will sign into law a new voting rights act. I will focus on education, address healthcare disparities, but I will also sign into law Sheila Jackson Lee’s reparations bill, so that we can have the national conversation we have waited too long in this country to have.

Don Lemon:
Thank you, Congressman O’Rourke. Speaking of reparations, Ms. Williamson, many of your opponents support a commission to study the issue of reparations for slavery, but you are calling for up to $500 billion in financial assistance. What makes you qualified to determine how much is owed in reparations?

Marianne Williamson:
Well, first of all, it’s not $500 billion in financial assistance. It’s $500 billion- $200 to $500 billion payment of a debt that is owed. That is what reparations is. We need some deep truth telling, when it comes … We don’t need another commission to look at evidence. I appreciate what Congressman O’Rourke has said. It is time for us to simply realize that this country will not heal … All that a country is, is a collection of people. People heal when there’s some deep truth telling. We need to recognize that when it comes to the economic gap between blacks and whites in America, it does come from a great injustice that has never been dealt with. That great injustice has had to do with the fact that there was 250 years of slavery, followed by another 100 years of domestic terrorism.

Marianne Williamson:
What makes me qualified to say $200 to $500 billion? I’ll tell you what makes me qualified. If you did the math of the 40 acres and a mule, given that there was 4 to 5 million slaves at the end of the Civil War … They were all promised 40 acres and a mule for every family of four. If you did the math today, it would be trillions of dollars. I believe in anything less than $100 billion is an insult, and I believe that $200 to $500 billion is politically feasible today, because so many Americans realize there is an injustice that continues to form a toxicity underneath the surface, and emotional turbulence that only reparations [cross talk]

Don Lemon:
Ms. Williamson, thank you very much. Senator Sanders … Senator Sanders, you don’t think cash payments are the best way to address this issue, but according to a new Gallup poll, 73 percent of African-Americans are in favor of cash payments to Black Americans who are descendants of slaves. How do you respond to them?

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Well, I respond to that by saying that I am supportive of Jim Clyburn’s legislation, which is called 10-20-30. What that understands is that, as a result of slavery, and segregation, and the institutional racism we see now in healthcare, in education, in financial services, we are going to have to focus big time on rebuilding distressed communities in America, including African-American communities.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
In terms of education, I also have a plan. It’s called the Thurgood Marshall Plan, and it would focus on ending the growth of segregated schools in America. It would triple funding for Title I schools. It would make sure that teachers in this country earned at least $60,000 a year.

Don Lemon:
Senator Sanders, thank you very much. Congressman Ryan, President Trump’s tariffs have boosted the U.S. steel industry, but hurt auto manufacturers, like those here in Michigan, which could drive up the cost of cars. As president, would you continue President Trump’s steel tariffs?

O congressista Tim Ryan:
Look, I think President Trump was onto something when he talked about China. China has been abusing the economic system for a long time. They steal intellectual property. They subsidize goods coming into this country. They’ve displaced steelworkers, autoworkers, across the board, eroded our manufacturing, and we basically transferred our wealth of our middle class either up to the top one percent or to China for them to build their military.

O congressista Tim Ryan:
I think we need some targeted response against China. But you know how you beat China? You outcompete them. That’s why I’d put a chief manufacturing officer in place to make sure that we rebuild the manufacturing base. We’ve gotta fill these factories in Detroit, and Youngstown that used to make cars and steel … We’ve gotta fill them with workers who are making electric vehicles, batteries, charging stations; make sure they’re making solar panels.

O congressista Tim Ryan:
As I said earlier, China dominated 60 percent of the solar panel market. They dominate 50 to 60 percent of the electric vehicle market. We’re gonna make 10 million electric vehicles somewhere in the world in the next 10 years. I wanna make it the United States. That’s why I have a chief manufacturing officer that will sit in the White House and help drive this agenda-

Don Lemon:
Congressman, thank you. Just as a point of clarification, as president, would you continue President Trump’s steel tariffs? Yes or no?

O congressista Tim Ryan:
Well, I would have to re-evaluate. I think some of them are effective, but he’s bungled the whole thing, obviously. He has … See, here’s the problem with President Trump. He has a tactical move, one of many. He has a tactical move. What’s the grand strategy for the United States? China has a 100-year plan, a 50-year plan, a 30-year plan, a 20-year plan. We live in a 24-hour news cycle. That spells disaster for our economy and disaster for our global policies.

Don Lemon:
Obrigado, congressista. Congressista Delaney, a sua resposta?

O congressista John Delaney:
So, listen, this is what I don’t understand. President Trump wants to build physical walls and beats up on immigrants. Most of the folks running for president want to build economic walls to free trade and beat up on President Obama. I’m the only one running for president who actually supports the Trans-Pacific Partnership. President Obama was right about that. We should be getting back in that. Senator Warren just issued a trade plan that would prevent the United States from trading with its allies. We can’t go and- we can’t isolate ourselves from the world. We have to engage with fair rules-based trade-

Don Lemon:
Obrigado. Obrigado, congressista Delaney, Senador Warren, por favor responda.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
For decades, we have had a trade policy that has been written by giant multinational corporations to help giant multinational corporations. They have no loyalty to America. They have no patriotism. If they can save a nickel by moving a job to Mexico, they’ll do it in a heartbeat. If they can continue a polluting plant by moving it to Vietnam, they’ll do it in a heartbeat. I have put out a new comprehensive plan that says we’re not gonna do it that way. We’re gonna negotiate our deals with unions at the table, with small businesses at the table, with small farmers at the table with environmentalists at the table with, human rights activists at the table. Then, we’re gonna use the fact that everybody in the world wants to get to America’s markets. They wanna sell to you [cross talk] I’ll finish-

Don Lemon:
O congressista Delaney...

O congressista John Delaney:
Desculpe.

Don Lemon:
Obrigado, Senador...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
-is everyone wants to get to America’s markets.

Don Lemon:
Obrigado, Senador...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Não ... A questão é como precisamos de elevar os nossos padrões...

Don Lemon:
Senator, thank you, please abide by the rules. Congressman Delaney, it’s your turn. Thank you, Senator. Congressman Delaney?

O congressista John Delaney:
So, that was the Trans-Pacific Partnership. I think President Obama was right. He did include environmental standards. He did include labor standards. We would be in an entirely different position with China, if we had entered the Trans-Pacific Partnership. We can’t isolate ourselves from the world. We can’t isolate ourselves from Asia. Senator Warren’s plan, basically, that she put out, we would not be able to trade with the United Kingdom. We would not be able to trade with the EU.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Não, o que é isto...

O congressista John Delaney:
It is so extreme that it’ll isolate the American economy against the world-

Don Lemon:
Obrigado, congressista Delaney. Obrigado, congressista. Senador [conversa cruzada] Senador Warren? [conversa cruzada] Senador Sanders, por favor deixe o Senador Warren responder.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Oh, I’m sorry.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
What the Congressman is describing as extreme is having deals that are negotiated by American workers for American workers. American workers want those jobs, and we can build the trade deals that do it. People want access to our markets all around the world? Then the answer is let’s make them raise their standards. Make them pay their workers more. Let their workers unionize; raise their environmental standards before they come to us and say they wanna be able to sell their products. Right now, the whole game is working for the big multinationals. It’s just not working for the people here in the United States, and we can change that-

Don Lemon:
Senator, thank you very much. Congressman O’Rourke, your response.

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
The question was about tariffs, and they’re a huge mistake. They constitute the largest tax increase on the American consumer, hitting the middle class, and the working poor especially hard. Farmers in Iowa and across the country are bearing the brunt of the consequences. When have we ever gone to war, including a trade war, without allies, and friends, and partners?

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
As president, we will hold China accountable, but we will bring our allies and friends, like the European Union, to bear. We’ll also negotiate trade deals that favor farmers, and American workers, and protect human rights, and the environment, and labor, not just here in the United States, but in [cross talk]

Don Lemon:
Congressman O’Rourke, thank you very much. Senator Sanders, please respond to Congressman O’Rourke.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
I’d like to respond to this.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Yeah, okay. You’re looking, I believe, at the only member of Congress who not only voted against these disastrous trade agreements, after PNTR with China, which cost us over 4 million jobs, but also helped lead the effort against these agreements. Elizabeth is absolutely right. If anybody here thinks that corporate America gives one damn about the average American worker, you’re mistaken. If they can save five cents by going to China, Mexico, or Vietnam or anyplace else, that’s exactly what they would do. As president, let me tell you what I will do. These guys line up at the federal troughs. They want military contracts. They want all kinds of contracts. Well, under my administration, you ain’t gonna get those contracts, if you throw American workers out on the street-

Don Lemon:
Senador Sanders, muito obrigado [conversa cruzada] Governador Hickenlooper, a sua resposta?

Gov. John Hickenlooper:
Again, I think Congressman Delaney has got a point here, and there is a way of looking at a trade that is therapeutic. The bottom line is you talk to any economist, there is not a single example in history where a trade war had a winner. Trade wars are for losers. The bottom line is we’ve gotta recognize- let’s negotiate a better trade deal, but you’re not gonna win against China in a trade war, when they’ve got 25 percent of our total debt.

Gov. John Hickenlooper:
Step back and look at- here’s Trump gives that giant tax cut. And at the same time, so we’re paying in tariffs about $800 to $1,200 per household, and then we give this incredible tax cut to the rich. Essentially, what’s happening now – he’s transferred that tax obligation onto the middle class. That’s what’s outrageous, but tariffs are not the solution.

Don Lemon:
Governador, obrigado, Senador Warren?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Anyone who thinks that these trade deals are mostly about terrorists just doesn’t understand what’s going on. Look at the new NAFTA 2.0. What’s the central feature? It’s to help pharmaceutical companies get longer periods of exclusivity so they can charge Canadians, Americans, and Mexicans more money and make more profits. That’s what trade deals have become. They have become a way for giant multinationals to change the regulatory environment, so they can suck more profits out for themselves and to leave the American people behind. We have to have the courage to fight back against that corruption.

Don Lemon:
Senador, obrigado. Governador Bullock, a sua resposta?

Gov. Steve Bullock:
A farmer in [Rippey] said to me, “Every time that Trump tweets, we lose hundreds of thousands of dollars.” If Montana had to eat all the wheat that we produce, every Montanan would have to eat 40 loaves of bread a day. But by the same token, what we have is- I actually agree with Senator Warren on this, in part. Corporations can move capital easy. Workers can’t move. Going forward, we need to make sure that our trade deals actually are protecting- thinking about the workers. They can’t be the stepchild. But the way to do it with his blunt instrument of tariffs that the president is doing, that’s not how we get a fair deal for farmers anywhere or the manufacturers here in Detroit [cross talk]

Don Lemon:
Governor, thank you very much. Mayor, stand by, please. Stand by, please. Please abide by the rules. Mayor Buttigieg, on Thursday of this week, a GM plant in Michigan will stop production – the latest auto plant to cease operations in the industrial Midwest. This comes as part of the company’s modernization plans, which will eventually result in 6,000 hourly workers losing their jobs or being reassigned to other plants. What is your plan for retraining workers whose jobs are at risk?

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
Well, this happened in my community 20 years before I was born. When I was growing up, we were still picking up the pieces. Empty factories, empty houses, poverty. I know exactly what happens to a community when these closures take place, and there will be more. It’s why we actually need to put the interests of workers first. Of course, we need to do retraining. We’re doing it now in South Bend. We should continue to do it. But this is so much bigger than a trade fight. This is about a moment when the economy is changing before our eyes. There are people in the gig economy who go through more jobs in a week than my parents went through in their lifetime. It’s why I’ve proposed that we allow gig workers to unionize, because a gig is a job, and a worker is a worker.

Don Lemon:
Obrigado, Presidente da Câmara.

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
Temos de responder a todas estas mudanças, e, para além de enfrentarmos a tecnologia, para além de apoiarmos os trabalhadores duplicando a sindicalização, como me propus a fazer, parte disto também é baixa tecnologia, como se o salário mínimo fosse demasiado baixo. Os chamados senadores cristãos conservadores, neste momento no Senado, estão a bloquear um projecto de lei para aumentar o salário mínimo, quando as escrituras dizem que quem oprime os pobres ridiculariza o seu criador.

Don Lemon:
Mayor, thank you very much. Congressman Delaney, I’m coming to you now. Your estimated net worth is more than $65 million. That would make you subject to Senator Warren’s proposed wealth tax on the assets of the richest 75,000 homes, households, or so in the United States. Do you think Senator Warren’s wealth tax is a fair way to fund childcare and education?

O congressista John Delaney:
I think wealthy Americans have to pay more. Listen, I grew up in a blue-collar family; first in my family to go to college; became a successful entrepreneur, created thousands of jobs, supported thousands of entrepreneurs all around this country. And I’ve done well financially. I think I should pay more in tax. I think wealthy Americans should pay more in tax. But we have to have a real solution.

O congressista John Delaney:
The real solution is to raise the capital gains rates. There is no reason why people who invest for a living should pay less than people who work for a living. That’s ridiculous. It’s the biggest loophole in our tax code. We act like wealthy individuals are endangered species, and if we raise their taxes, they won’t invest. That’s crazy. That’s how we get more revenues from wealthy individuals – we roll back the Trump tax cuts to wealthy individuals. I think the wealth tax will be fought in court forever. It’s arguably unconstitutional, and the countries that have had it have largely abandoned it because it’s impossible to implement. But here again, real solutions, not impossible promises-

Don Lemon:
Congressista, muito obrigado.

O congressista John Delaney:
-aumentar o imposto sobre as mais-valias, reduzir os impostos sobre os americanos ricos-

Don Lemon:
Congressista- Obrigado, Congressista-

O congressista John Delaney:
- que podíamos fazer nos nossos primeiros meses como presidente.

Don Lemon:
Senador Warren, por favor responda.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
So, I have proposed a wealth tax. It’s now time to do that. It’s time to tax the top one-tenth of one percent of fortunes in this country. Your first $50 million you can keep, free and clear, but your 50 millionth and first dollar, you’ve gotta pitch in two cents. Two cents. What can America do with two cents? We can provide universal childcare for every baby, age zero to five. We can provide universal pre-K for every three-year-old, and four-year-old. We can raise the wages of every childcare worker and preschool teacher in this country. We can provide universal tuition-free college. We can expand Pell. We can put $50 billion into our historically Black colleges and universities, and we can cancel student loan debt for 95 percent of the people who have it and start to close the wealth gap in America. It tells you how badly broken this economy is-

Don Lemon:
Senador, muito obrigado. Congressista Delaney, por favor...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
- que dois cêntimos dos mais ricos deste país nos permitiriam investir no resto da América.

Don Lemon:
-Obrigado, Senador. Congressista - Senador, por favor. Congressista, responda, por favor.

O congressista John Delaney:
This is not about whether wealthy- this is not about whether wealthy Americans should pay more. I think we’re all in agreement on that. It’s a question of do you have a real solution to make it happen? We can raise the capital gains rate to match the ordinary income. You know the last president to do that was actually Ronald Reagan. We can do that in our first year. I’ve called for that to be done, and it’ll double the earned income tax credit. I’ve called for the expansion of universal pre-K so that every American has pre-K, and I do it through an additional tax on high-net-worth individuals-

Dana Bash:
Obrigado...

O congressista John Delaney:
-but we don’t need to come up with new taxes that are arguably unconstitutional-

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, congressista Delaney...

O congressista John Delaney:
- será combatido em tribunal durante anos-

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, congressista. Queremos voltar à questão [conversa cruzada] da dívida estudantil.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Posso apenas responder a isso, por favor? [conversa cruzada]

Dana Bash:
We’re gonna turn to the issue of student debt now. Mayor Buttigieg, you’ve talked about how you and your husband are paying down six figures of student loan debt. Under Senator Sanders’ proposal to cancel all student loan debt, yours would immediately be wiped away. Why wouldn’t you support that?

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
That’d be great for us. And then the next day, there would be a student loan program, and people would be out taking student loans, wondering why they weren’t lucky enough in timing to get theirs wiped away completely, too. We can have debt-free college for low- and middle-income students by expanding Pell grants and compelling states to pick up more of the burden. And, on the back end, for those of us who do have a lot of debt, we can make it more affordable, and we can expand a public service loan forgiveness program, which is an excellent program that is almost impossible to actually get access to, right now. We can take these steps and have an approach that is actually fair.

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
If we wanna start wiping away student debt, here’s where I would start. I would start with the for-profit colleges that took advantage of people, especially veterans, by the way. The moment I redeployed, my Facebook ad feed started filling with ads from these for-profit colleges. Under President Obama, they were held accountable for whether they delivered results. President Trump, under a Secretary of Education who regrettably is from this state, did away with those rules. There is no accountability. On my watch, those colleges that turned the Department of Education into a predatory lender, that’s where we would begin, when it came to getting rid of loans.

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, Mayor Buttigieg. Senador Sanders, quer perdoar todas as dívidas de empréstimo estudantil? A sua resposta?

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Matter of fact, I do, but before I get into that, the major issue that we don’t talk about in Congress, we don’t talk about in the media, is the massive level of income and wealth inequality in America. You’ve got three people who own more wealth than the bottom 90 percent; you’ve got top one percent that owns more wealth than the bottom 92 percent; 49 percent of all new income goes to the top one percent.

Companies like Amazon, and billionaires out there do not pay one nickel in federal income tax, and we’ve got 500,000 people sleeping out on the street. What we need is a political revolution that tells these billionaires and corporate America that they are Americans. They’ll participate in our society. But they have got to start paying their fair share of taxes, period-

Dana Bash:
Obrigado, Senador Sanders. A Sra. Williamson [conversa cruzada] propõe-vos tornar a faculdade gratuita para todos os estudantes qualificados. Deverá o governo pagar para as crianças das famílias mais ricas irem para a faculdade?

Marianne Williamson:
I think that all domestic and international policy should be based on the idea that anything we do to help people thrive is a stimulation to our economy. That’s how you stimulate your economy. So, if a few people take advantage, but there are four or five people who are going to take the money that they then have in the bank … When you look at this $1.5 trillion college debt … This is why I agree with Bernie, or I would be okay … Why don’t we swap it? We had a $2 trillion tax cut, where 83 cents of every dollar goes to the very, very richest among us that does not stimulate the economy.

Marianne Williamson:
If we get rid of this college debt, think of all the young people who will have the discretionary spending. They’ll be able to start their business. The best thing you could do to stimulate the U.S. economy is to get rid of this debt. This is not just about a plan to do it. It’s about a philosophy of governing. I’ve heard some people here, tonight; I almost wonder why you’re Democrats. You seem to think there’s something wrong about using- about using the instruments of government to help people. That is what government should do. It should- all policy should help people thrive. That is how we will have peace, and that is how we will have prosperity.

Dana Bash:
Thank you, Ms. Williamson. Congressman O’Rourke, you don’t support free four-year college. Your response to Ms. Williamson?

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
I support free two-year college. Earn that associates degree, realize your full potential … Debt free four-year college … But unlike some of the other candidates on the stage, that’s not just for tuition. That is room, and books, and board – the full cost of being able to better yourself so that you can better this country. Then, for that school teacher, who, in many places, like Texas, is working a second or a third job, full forgiveness for her outstanding student loan debt. Forgiveness for that person willing to work at the V.A. and serve our former service members, and we do not do that at the expense of unions. We elevate them, as well, and make it easier to join an apprenticeship, to learn a skill or a trade that you can command for the rest of your life.

Dana Bash:
Obrigado. Obrigado, congressista. Senador Klobuchar. A sua resposta?

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
I want to make it easier for kids to go to college. And I think we do it by focusing our resources on the people that need it most. My problem with some of these plans is they literally would pay for wealthy kids, for Wall Street kids, to go to college. There’s no difference. It says everyone is free. I don’t think that makes sense. I’m very concerned, if we do things like that, the debt we’re gonna pass on to the next generation, and the next generation. So, what I would do about student loan debt is that I would allow people to refinance it at a better rate, and I would make sure that we improve those student loan repayment programs for our teachers and expand them so that you literally, over 5-10 years, can get it paid for, if you go into occupations where we don’t have enough workers. I think we need to mesh what we were just talking about with the economy with our education policy.

Jake Tapper:
Thank you, Senator. I want to turn to foreign policy now. Senator Sanders, President Trump has argued that the United States cannot continue to be the, “policeman of the world.” You said the exact same thing on a debate stage in 2016. If voters are hearing the same message from you and President Trump on the issue of military intervention, how should they expect that you will be any different from him?

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Trump is a pathological liar. I tell the truth. We have been in Afghanistan, I think, 18 years; in Iraq, 16 or 17 years. We have spent $5 trillion on the war on terror, and there are probably more terrorists out there now than before it began. We’re gonna spend- the Congress passed, and I will not vote for, a $750 billion military budget, more than the 10 next countries combined.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
O que precisamos é de uma política externa que se concentre na diplomacia, pondo fim aos conflitos por pessoas sentadas à mesa, e não matando umas às outras. Como presidente dos Estados Unidos, irei às Nações Unidas e não denegri-la-ei, não atacarei a ONU, mas reunirei os países do Médio Oriente e de todo o mundo para resolverem as suas diferenças e resolverem esses problemas pacificamente. Os Estados Unidos não podem ser os polícias do mundo.

Jake Tapper:
Thank you, Senator. Governor Hickenlooper, how do you respond to Senator Sanders’ vision for America’s role in the world?

Gov. John Hickenlooper:
Well, we share the recognition of the incredible cost. People don’t realize that half the soldiers that fought in Iraq and Afghanistan were National Guard. So I went and sent them off in their deployments. Big, noisy hangers. But I also mourned with their families, when they didn’t come back.

Gov. John Hickenlooper:
We are able now to- I call it constant engagement, but we should have an international diplomatic approach, where we’re talking to everybody, because if we’re gonna deal with climate change, and cybersecurity, and nuclear proliferation, we’ve gotta be talking to everybody. Tariff wars don’t work. They’re for losers.

Jake Tapper:
Thank you. Governor, I want to go to Congressman Ryan, and I wanna turn to the subject of North Korea, which, just hours ago, launched two short-range ballistic missiles for the second time in less than a week. Congressman, you’ve said that you would not meet with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un unless you were at least close to a deal. Now, Senator Klobuchar says that she would, “Always be willing to meet with leaders to discuss policies.” Is that a view wrong?

O congressista Tim Ryan:
Yeah, I think so. I love Amy Klobuchar, but I think she’s wrong on this one. I don’t think presidents of the United States meet with dictators. We saw what just happened with President Trump. He goes to the demilitarized zone with the leader of North Korea, gives him a huge photo op, gives him global credibility, because the most powerful person in the world is sitting there meeting with him. Weeks later, he’s lobbing more missiles. That doesn’t make any sense.

O congressista Tim Ryan:
We’ve got to demilitarize our foreign policy. We’ve gotta make sure that we are engaging these countries all the time. This is very difficult work. I’ve been in Congress 17 years. I sit on the Defense Appropriations Committee. I sat on the Armed Services Committee. This is a long, tedious work. Much of it done outside of the eye of the TV camera. And as president, you’ve got to monitor that and be very disciplined every day. Don’t go give a dictator a huge win. Sit down and do your job. The same thing with what’s happening in Central America. He’s cutting the State Department budget … Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, where the migrants are coming from. Go fix the problem at its source and use diplomacy to do it.

Jake Tapper:
Senador Klobuchar, a sua resposta?

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
I think we agree. I just think you have to leave open the possibility of meeting with anyone at any place. What I don’t like is how this president has handled it. You’ve heard of the Truman Doctrine, the Monroe Doctrine. He’s done the Go it Alone doctrine with the rest of the world. He’s taken us out of the climate change agreement, out of the Iran nuclear agreement, out of the Russian nuclear agreement. I don’t agree with that.

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
Quando ele estava com Vladimir Putin no G20, quando lhe perguntaram sobre a invasão da nossa democracia, ele fez uma piada. Centenas de milhares de americanos perderam as suas vidas no campo de batalha para proteger a nossa democracia e o nosso direito de voto.

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado...

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
Quatro raparigas em Birmingham, Alabama, perderam a vida numa igreja no auge da emenda dos direitos civis. Portanto, creio que se encontram com pessoas, mas é melhor que tenham uma agenda...

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Senador...

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
-and you’d better put our interests of our country first, not the Russians.

Jake Tapper:
Thank you, Senator Klobuchar. Mayor Buttigieg, you served in Afghanistan, where, just yesterday, two U.S. service members were killed. There are currently about 14,000 U.S. service members in Afghanistan. You’ve said, “One thing everybody can agree on is that we’re getting out of Afghanistan.” Will you withdraw all U.S. service members by the end of your first year in office?

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
Vamos retirar-nos. Temos de o fazer.

Jake Tapper:
No seu primeiro ano?

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
Yes. Look, around the world, we will do whatever it takes to keep America safe. But I thought I was one of the last troops leaving Afghanistan, when I thought I was turning out the lights years ago. Every time I see news about somebody being killed in Afghanistan, I think about what it was like to hear an explosion over there and wonder whether it was somebody that I served with, somebody that I knew – a friend, roommate, colleague. We’re pretty close to the day when we will wake up to the news of a casualty in Afghanistan who was not born on 9/11.

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
Fui enviado para essa guerra por uma autorização do Congresso, bem como pelo Presidente. E precisamos de falar não só da necessidade de um presidente empenhado em acabar com a guerra sem fim, mas também do facto de o Congresso ter estado a dormir na troca. No meu turno, proporei que qualquer autorização para o uso da força militar tenha um ocaso de três anos e tenha de ser renovada, porque se os homens e mulheres das forças armadas tiverem a coragem de ir servir, os membros do Congresso deveriam ter de invocar a coragem de votar sobre se deveriam lá estar.

Jake Tapper:
Thank you, Mayor. I wanna bring in Congressman O’Rourke. Congressman O’Rourke, responding- returning, rather, to the question of whether you would withdraw all U.S. service members from Afghanistan during your first year in office as president, how do you respond, sir?

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
I would, in my first term in office, agree that there is nothing about perpetuating this war, already in its 18th year, that will make it any better. We’ve satisfied the reasons for our involvement in Afghanistan in the first place. And it’s time to bring those service members back home from Afghanistan, but also from Iraq, also from Yemen, and Somalia, and Libya, and Syria. There is no reason for us to be at war all over the world tonight. As president, I will in those wars, and we will not start new wars. We will not send more U.S. service members overseas to sacrifice their lives and to take the lives of others in our name. We can resolve these challenges peacefully, and diplomatically-

Jake Tapper:
Thank you, Congressman. Governor Hickenlooper, you disagree. You’ve said that you’re open to keeping some service members in Afghanistan beyond your first term. Please respond.

Gov. John Hickenlooper:
I look at it as a humanitarian issue. And with all due respect, you’re looking at the condition of women … If we completely pull our troops out of there, you’re gonna see a humanitarian disaster that will startle and frighten every man, woman, and child in this country. I don’t think … We have troops in over 400 different locations around the world. Most of them are small; they’re peacekeeping; they’re not greatly at risk. We’re gonna have to be an Afghanistan. Look at the progress that’s happened in that country. We’re gonna turn our backs and walk away from people that have risked their lives to help us and build a different future for Afghanistan and that part of the world?

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Governador. Senador Warren, quer fazer com que seja política dos EUA que os EUA nunca utilizem uma arma nuclear, a menos que outro país a utilize primeiro. Agora, o Presidente Obama terá considerado essa política, mas acabou por decidir contra ela. Porque haveriam os EUA de atar as suas próprias mãos a essa política?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Because it makes the world safer. The United States is not going to use nuclear weapons preemptively, and we need to say so to the entire world. It reduces the likelihood that someone miscalculates, someone misunderstands. Our first responsibility is to keep ourselves safe. What’s happening right now with Donald Trump, as they keep expanding the different ways that we have nuclear weapons, the different ways that they could be used, puts us all at risk.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
You know, we talk about what’s happening around the world. I have three older brothers who served in the military. I see that they would do anything. Our military is the best on earth, but we should not be asking our military to take on jobs that do not have a military solution. We need to use our diplomatic tools, our economic tools. If we’re gonna send someone into war, we better have a plan for how we’re gonna get them out on the other end.

Jake Tapper:
Thank you, Senator- Thank you, Senator. Governor Bullock, your response to Senator Warren’s proposal to the U.S. never using a nuclear weapon first?

Gov. Steve Bullock:
I wouldn’t wanna take that off the table. I think America’s strength- we have to be able to say that. Look. Never, I hope … Certainly in my term, or anyone else, would we really even get close to pulling that trigger, but by the same token, America’s strength … Look, this president’s made it America versus America alone. Our allies no longer trust us; our adversaries are with us, but going from a position of strength, we should be negotiating down so there aren’t nuclear weapons. But drawing those lines in the sand, at this point, I wouldn’t do.

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Governador. Senador Warren, a sua resposta?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
We don’t expand trust around the world by saying we might be the first ones to use a nuclear weapon. That puts the entire world at risk and puts us at risk, right in the middle of this, at a time when Donald Trump is pulling out of our nuclear negotiations, expanding the opportunities for nuclear proliferation around the world; has pulled us out of the deal in Iran. And Iran is now working on its nuclear weapon. The world gets closer and closer to nuclear warfare [cross talk] we have to have an announced policy that is one the entire world can live with. We need to make that clear. We will respond if somebody else does, but not first-

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado, Senador. Governador Bullock, por favor responda.

Gov. Steve Bullock:
Parte com a qual concordo, mas da mesma forma, precisamos de voltar à proliferação nuclear.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Porquê?

Gov. Steve Bullock:
But when you have folks … De-proliferation, reducing it. But, at the same time, when you actually have Korea, when you have others, I don’t wanna turn around and say, “Well, Detroit has to be gone before we would ever use that …” When so many crazy folks are getting closer to having a nuclear weapon, I don’t want them to think, “I could strike this country, and I, and we, as the United States of America wouldn’t do a thing.” Part of the strength really is the ability to deter [cross talk]

Don Lemon:
Governor, thank you very much. Moving on now [cross talk] Moving on now- please, Senator. Senator, please. Moving on now, as you know, to serve as president of the United States – all of you know this – you have to be at least 35 years old. So, Mayor Buttigieg, you just qualified. You’re 37. The youngest candidate in this field. Standing next to you is the oldest candidate, Bernie Sanders, at age 77. Should voters take into consideration age when choosing a presidential candidate?

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
I don’t care how old you are, I care about your vision. But I do think it matters that we have a new generation of leaders stepping up around the world; leaders like the … I actually think it’s good that the prime minister of New Zealand’s gotten a lot of attention in Democratic debates. She’s masterful. She is younger than I would be when I take office. This is the kind of trying to America might be leading, instead of following, but only if it’s actually backed by the right vision. We can have great presidents at any age.

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
What I will say is we need the kind of vision that’s gonna win. We cannot have a vision that amounts to back to normal. The only reason we got this president is that normal didn’t work. We have to be ready to take on this president, and – by the way, something that hasn’t been talked about as much, tonight – take on his enablers in Congress. When David Duke- when David Duke ran for Congress- ran for governor, the Republican Party, 20 years ago, ran away from him. Today, they are supporting naked racism in the White House, or are, at best, silent about it.

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
Se estava a ver isto em casa e é um membro republicano do Congresso, considere o facto de que quando o sol se põe na sua carreira e eles estão a escrever a sua história de todas as coisas boas e más que fez na sua vida, a coisa pela qual será lembrado é se, neste momento, com este presidente, encontrou a coragem de lhe fazer frente ou se continuou a pôr partido pelo país.

Don Lemon:
Obrigado, Presidente da Câmara. O Senador Sanders, como estadista sénior do grupo, por favor responda ao Presidente da Câmara Buttigieg.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Pete is right. It’s a question of vision. That’s what it is, whether you’re young, whether you’re old, whether you’re in between. My vision, among other things, says that if we’re gonna fight for healthcare, we don’t take money from the drug companies or the insurance companies. I have asked all of the candidates who are running to say they will not accept money from those entities who, in my view, are going to war against the American people in terms of healthcare. That’s a new vision. A new vision says that we must cancel completely student debt, because the younger generation in this country today, for the first time in modern American history, will have a lower standard of living than their parents.

Don Lemon:
Obrigado, Senador Sanders.

Jake Tapper:
We have covered a lot of ground tonight. Now it is time for closing statements. You will each receive one minute. Governor Bullock, we’re gonna begin with you.

Gov. Steve Bullock:
Thanks, Jake. I was raised in a single parent household, at times, paycheck to paycheck. Only knew there was a governor’s house in town, because I delivered newspapers to it. So, I’ve made it about four blocks in life. Worked my way through college, paid my way through law school, but, you know, I had a chance to actually go from delivering newspapers to the governor’s house, as a kid, to now raising our three kids in it. We’ve gotta recognize, for far too many people now, in America, that shot no longer exists, and for far too many in this country, it never happens.

Gov. Steve Bullock:
I’m running for president to beat Donald Trump, win back the places we lost, and make sure that Americans know that where Washington’s left them behind in their economy, and their political system, I’ll be there. This isn’t a choice just between center and left, or about … We don’t have to choose between what we don’t want and what we can’t afford. Folks want a different way. They want to believe the economy and our democracy can work for us. That’s why I’m running for president.

Jake Tapper:
Obrigado. Sra. Williamson?

Marianne Williamson:
Yes. Our problem is not just that we need to defeat Donald Trump. We need a plan to solve institutionalized hatred, collectivized hatred, and white nationalism. In order to do that, we need more than political insider game, and wonkiness, and intellectual argument. Those things will not defeat Donald Trump. We need some radical truth telling, not just to talk about healthcare, but talk about why we’re so sick all the time. We need to have a serious conversation about race and what is truly owed.

Marianne Williamson:
Even on the subject of foreign policy, it’s all about symptoms and not about cause. We need to talk about the fact that the United States is sacrificing our moral leadership. The fact that countries see us not only domestically, but internationally with policies that simply support our corporate overlords. The fact that our national defense agenda is driven more by short-term profits for defense contractors than by genuine peace building.

Marianne Williamson:
There is some corruption that is so deep, ladies and gentlemen, and until the Democratic Party is ready to speak to the deeper corruption, knowing that we ourselves, sometimes, because of our own corporate donations, have participated, then I’m afraid those who vote for Trump will continue to vote for Trump, and those who might not like Donald Trump will continue to stay home.

Marianne Williamson:
I want a politics that goes much deeper. I want a politics that speaks to the heart, because the only way to fight … You keep talking about how we’re gonna fight Donald Trump. You can’t fight dog whistles; you have to override them. The only way you can override them is with new voices, voices of energy that only come from the fact that America has been willing to live up to our own mistakes, atone for our own mistakes, make amends for our own mistakes. Love each other. Love our democracy. Love future generations. Something emotional and psychological that will not be emerging from anything on this stage. It will emerge from something I’m the one who’s qualified to bring forth.

Jake Tapper:
O congressista Delaney.

O congressista John Delaney:
Thank you, Jake. John F. Kennedy famously said we should not seek the Republican answer. We should not seek the Democratic answer. We should seek the right answer. He was right when he said it, and he’s right today, as well. Donald Trump is the symptom of a disease and the disease is divisiveness. I’m the only one on the stage talking about curing that disease, with big ideas like national service, by focusing on actually solving problems.

O congressista John Delaney:
If we work together, we can fix healthcare and build infrastructure. We can invest in not just technology, but people, and entrepreneurs, whether they be in Storm Lake, Iowa, or Detroit, Michigan, or Baltimore, Maryland. We can fight climate change and reimagine our education system, but we have to do it with real solutions, not impossible promises. Isn’t it time we had a president who was a leader in both the private sector and in government to lead us into the future? I promise, as president, I will restore vision, unity, and leadership, and decency to this country. That’s why I’m running for president. Thank you.

Jake Tapper:
O congressista Ryan?

O congressista Tim Ryan:
So, in a few minutes, all of the pundits are gonna be looking at this debate and saying, “Well, who captured the left lane? Who captured the center lane? Who captured the moderate lane?” I hope tonight, at some level, I captured your imagination – your imagination about what this country could be like if we united, if we put together real policies that weren’t left or right, but new and better. That’s how we win the future.

O congressista Tim Ryan:
It’s new and better – a new and better economy; a new and better education system; a new and better healthcare system that focuses on prevention; an education system that focuses on the trauma of our kids. There’s not gonna be a savior. Not gonna be a superstar that’s gonna fix all this. It’s gonna be you and me. It’s gonna be us. That’s how we fix this country – you and I coming together to do big things, to imagine the new country that we want by coming together. Not left or right. New and better.

Jake Tapper:
O Governador Hickenlooper.

Gov. John Hickenlooper:
Thank you, and what a night. I’ve loved it. I’d like to ask every American to imagine that you are facing life-threatening surgery tomorrow. Would you choose a doctor who had a track record of proven success, who’s actually done the work, or someone who had just talked about it? That’s the question we’re facing in this primary.

Gov. John Hickenlooper:
I’ve actually got a track record as a small business owner, as a mayor, and as a governor. We expanded healthcare in Colorado and got near universal coverage. We fought climate change directly. We beat the NRA. For the last three years, we’ve been the number-one economy in the country. We can ramp all that out.

Gov. John Hickenlooper:
I’m as progressive as anybody up on this stage, but I’m also pragmatic, and I’ve done the things that most these other people are just talking about, and I know I can get results. I can lead the people of this country toward a stronger, a healthier, and a more secure future; defeat Donald Trump and return this country to its glory. Thank you.

Jake Tapper:
O Senador Klobuchar?

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
Well, thank you, Detroit. To win, we have to listen to people, and out there today is Casey Jo’s mom, Casey Jo was a champion high school swimmer from a small town. She got sick, went to the emergency room, and got hooked on opioids. The last thing that she said to her mom was, “Mama, it’s not my fault,” and she died. A lot of Americans say the same thing every day. That is what I will stand up for.

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
What I will stand up against are companies like those pharma companies that got her hooked on those opioids and didn’t tell the doctors, or the patients what was gonna happen. We need someone that has people’s back. We also need someone that can win. I have won in these red districts. I win in the Midwest. I can win in states like Wisconsin, and Michigan, and Iowa.

Senadora Amy Klobuchar:
I also will do my job without fear, or favor, just like I did as a prosecutor and get through the gridlock, like I’ve done as a senator, where I’ve passed over 100 bills, where I’ve been the lead Democrat. Last, yes, I will govern with integrity. We have a president where people turn off their TV when they see him. Not me. I will make you proud, as your president.

Jake Tapper:
Congressman O’Rourke?

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
We are as divided and polarized as a country as we have ever been. Right now, we have a president who uses fear to try to drive us further apart. To meet this challenge, we have to have hope in one another and a faith in a future of this country that includes everyone. My whole life, I’ve been including people in the success of this country; starting a small business with high value, high wage, high skill jobs in the third poorest urban county in America; serving on the city council and holding town hall meetings every single week to remind myself who it is that I serve at the end of the day.

Congressman Beto O’Rourke:
No Congresso, estando em minoria, mas trabalhando tanto com democratas como com republicanos, para cumprir com os meus eleitores e com este país. Depois no Texas, este último ano, viajando para todos os condados, não escrevendo a ninguém, não tomando ninguém como garantido, e, no final do dia, ganhando mais votos do que qualquer democrata tinha na história do estado, ganhando independentes pela primeira vez em décadas, e ganhando quase meio milhão de republicanos. Esses 38 votos do Colégio Eleitoral no Texas estão agora em jogo, e eu posso ganhá-los. É assim que derrotaremos Donald Trump em Novembro de 2020 e como voltaremos a juntar este país dividido em Janeiro de 2021. Obrigado.

Jake Tapper:
Mayor Buttigieg?

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
There’s good news and bad news. I’m gonna start with the bad news. Our country is in trouble. GDP is going up and life expectancy is going down. Think about what that means. It’s only getting tougher. By 2030, we will have passed the point of no return on climate. There are gonna be 130 million more guns on our streets. I’ll be in my 40s then. If you have kids, think about how old they will be then.

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
Here’s the good news – it’s not too late. We can tell our kids that before we ran out of time, just before we ran out of time, in 2020, we did what it took to deliver a climate that we didn’t have to wonder if it could support us; to deliver a society where race has no bearing on your health, or your wealth, or your relationship with law enforcement; that we did what it took to deliver an economy where a rising tide actually does lift all boats.

O Presidente da Câmara Pete Buttigieg:
We can do this, if, and only if we are ready to walk away from what hasn’t worked with bold action and win; not only defeat this president, but defeat his congressional allies with a defeat so big that it reunites the Republican Party with its conscience, as well as bringing Democrats to office. Join me and let’s make it happen.

Jake Tapper:
Senador Warren?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
From the time I was seven years old, I had a dream. I wanted to be a public-school teacher, but my daddy ended up as a janitor, and by the time I graduated from high school, my family didn’t have the money to send me off to college. My big chance was what was then a commuter college that cost $50 a semester. For me, what this election is all about is opportunity. Every budget, every policy that we talk about is about who’s going to get opportunity. Is it gonna go to the billionaires, or is it gonna go to our kids?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Neste momento, durante décadas, tivemos um governo que tem estado do lado dos ricos e dos poderosos. Tem estado do lado dos ricos. E isso significa que não tem estado do lado de todos os outros, não do lado das pessoas que vivem nas nossas reservas indígenas americanas, pessoas que vivem no interior das cidades, pessoas que vivem em pequenas quintas e pequenas comunidades em todo este país.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
How do we beat it? We beat it by being the party of big structural change. Give people a reason to show up and vote. We beat it by building a grassroots movement across this country, not showing up behind closed doors with millionaires, but actually building it, person by person, across this country with small dollar donations, with volunteers, with people who show up and say, “I have a stake in this democracy.” I will not only beat Donald Trump in 2020, I’ll start to make real change, come 2021.

Jake Tapper:
Senador Sanders?

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
As somebody who grew up in a family that lived in a rent-controlled apartment in Brooklyn, New York, and lived paycheck to paycheck, I’m running for president not just to defeat the most dangerous president in the history of this country – a guy who’s a racist, and a sexist, and a homophobe – I’m running to transform this country and to stand with the working class of America, which for the last 45 years has been decimated.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
Two days ago, I had a remarkable experience, which should tell you everything you need to know about what’s going on in America. I took 15 people with diabetes from Detroit a few miles into Canada, and we bought insulin for one-tenth the price being charged by the crooks who run the pharmaceutical industry in America today. But it’s not just the price fixing, and the corruption, and the greed of the pharmaceutical industry. It’s what’s going on in the fossil fuel industry. It’s what’s going on in Wall Street. It’s what’s going on with the prison industrial complex.

Sen. Bernie Sanders:
We need a mass political movement. Please go to BernieSanders.com, become one of our million volunteers. Stand up and take on the greed, and corruption of the ruling class of this country. Let’s create a government and an economy that works for all of us, not just the one percent.
