There were so many climate deniers that it was - you know, think about it. That’s how much has been just laid to waste.Īnd we’re still playing around. But, you know, more forests have burned and homes have gone down than all the land, the square mileage of all the property from New York to - all the way down to Virginia, because of the - New Jersey. I have literally been in a helicopter with governors around the country, with FEMA - which I think we’ve done a hell of a job now. Turn on the television every day, what do you see? You see flooding and fires. You see what’s happening all around the world. I think there is - I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that when you go through a period of such uncertainty where things that never happened really - not in our lifetime hadn’t happened before - when you have, you know - you know, 100 million people dying - I mean, dying.įinding ourselves in a circumstance where everybody wondered whether there was a thing called global warming - nobody seems to doubt it right now. We were, if you think about the things we were facing - and, in the process, people didn’t know quite what to do. We were in a situation where we had only - only 2 million vaccines for the whole - for the entire country. We had - well, there was - instead of dealing with the deficit, we were piling up the deficit. We were in a situation where we were in significant debt. You know, when you think about it, when you got me elected the first time around, we had the - one of the highest unemployment rates in American history.

And I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. Because back in 2019, when it was “Joe who? What? How? What? Huh?” And you all helped out. And, look, this is a - our hosts are responsible, in no small part, for my standing here and being President. You let me know, okay?įolks, thank you very much. But at any rate - so, I like your glasses. Now, it’s very - folks, it’s terrible, when you’ve been a United States senator for 36 years and Vice President for 8 years and a President, to be known for two things: Ray-Ban sunglasses and ice cream. I’ve been wearing Ray-Bans so long, since 100 years ago when I was a lifeguard for years. So, I don’t know - what do you like best? Ice cream? What do you want? I mean, I - we got - we got to work something out, okay? Okay, because he owes you big.Īnd by the way, I like your - hang on a second. (Laughter.) This has to be the most boring, boring thing in the world for a beautiful young woman to have to do. Is that your daddy? He owes you big for having to sit here. Honey, what’s your name? Well, let me tell you something. THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, thank you, thank you.
