But if it indicates that there is wrongdoing, you imagine that a president could in fact be prosecuted?

Joe Biden: (41:04) we don’t think anyone’s over the legislation. And I also love the way you’re hoping to get me personally into this benefit of lock them up. I’m perhaps perhaps not going here.

Lulu Garcia-Navarro: (41:14) Well, you will find now a true wide range of investigations. After all, the Southern District of the latest York simply stated that their considerable and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump organization that they’re looking at. This really isn’t speculative. That is something that is actually happening.

Joe Biden: (41:29) I stated, those activities which are underway, then in fact that would be up to the attorney general to decide whether he or she want to proceed with it if they prove to be a criminal offense. I’m not likely to make that specific judgment. He’s perhaps not my she’s or lawyer perhaps perhaps not my attorney.

Tia Mitchell: (41:53) Mr. Vice President, I would like to go back to rights that are voting. You chatted lot previous about which you think there are many states which are engaging in voter suppression and my concern-

Tia Mitchell: (42:03) … some States which are participating in voter suppression. And my real question is if you decide to be President, will there be what you’ve considered using executive action to be able to shore up voting systems or protect voting liberties for US public without looking forward to congressional approval or a bill to pass?

Joe Biden: (42:21) Well, the clear answer is I’d do what Barack and I also did inside our administration, the Attorney General would follow, there are someplace about 84, 85 efforts which have been made and I also think it is 31 States, don’t hold us towards the precise number, to suppress voting, making it harder to vote. And I also would simply take those systems, and people challenge that is i’d court, those efforts, those brand brand new efforts at Jim Crow. I would personally accomplish that. I would personally have the Attorney General venture out and make certain i’m going to do in terms of the Justice Department, I was the guy who got the Voting Rights Act extended for 25 years that we have, and the first thing. And along came the Shelby situation and Shelby County in Alabama as well as the court arrived and said, “There’s no longer a requirement you have get pre-clearance due to the conduct in past times. So any change you intend to make an electoral procedure, you must check through the courts.”

Joe Biden: (43:21) They stated that is old, however they can’t do that. We’re permitted to alter. There’s no prohibition that is constitutional replace the supply into the legislation, i do believe it is area four, I’m maybe maybe not good, to improve that supply to state they might require pre-clearance under particular conditions, that needs a vote in the usa Congress that is now called, this is certainly now the Lewis amendment to your Voting Rights Act. And that’s the things I forced quite difficult and I’ve been pressing it for a time that is long.

Lulu Garcia-Navarro: (43:53) We would like to be in only one concern within the sphere that is international President Trump isn’t the very first President to state Asia is ripping from the united states of america. President Obama made complaints that are similar. Some have actually said Trump’s stance is a great anyone to counter China’s influence. Would you keep the tariffs?

Joe Biden: (44:13) No. Hey appearance, who stated Trump’s concept is really a good one? Who said Trump’s idea is a good one?

Lulu Garcia-Navarro: (44:19) Some believe that-

Joe Biden: (44:20) Some. 2 or 3 individuals. Production went on recession. Agriculture destroyed huge amounts of bucks that taxpayers had to spend. We’re going after Asia within the wrong method. China is stealing property that is intellectual. China’s conditioning to be able to conduct business in Asia according to whether or not you have got 51% Chinese ownership. That’s surely got to end. I invested an amount that is fair of whenever I ended up being Vice President with President Xi, as the President desired us to get acquainted with him. He’s no Democrat having a d that is small all, but right right here’s the offer, he managed to make it genuine clear, he-

Lulu Garcia-Navarro: (44:54) So he scrapped those tariffs, just what are you wanting in return? Or you’re just planning to scrap them without having any concessions?

Joe Biden: (45:00) No, no, right here’s the deal. The real question is what’s the appropriate behavior that they must take part in international trade with us and they’ve got to relax and play because of the international guidelines. And that which we have inked is we now have disarmed ourselves. We make-up 25% regarding the world’s economy, but we poked our little finger into the attention of all of the of y our allies around. Just how Asia will react occurs when we gather all of those other globe that in fact intrusion and trade that is open ensuring we’re in a situation that individuals cope with whom in the correct manner, in reality, that’s when things started to alter. That’s when Asia’s behavior is going to alter. For instance, once I had been final here, he thought to me personally, Xi, which they had an international airspace that joingy said that you had to check with China before you could fly through it that they set up an error identification zone.

Joe Biden: (45:59) we said, “We’re maybe maybe not likely to give consideration.” He said, “What do I am wanted by you to do? Go on it down.” We said, “You should, but we’re maybe maybe not likely to take notice.” So we flew bomber that is b-1 it. We’ve got to really make it clear, the worldwide rules for the road with regards to airspace, ocean room, while the manner in which you cope with the trade and equity which have to be imposed. And everything we did inside our management, if they began steel that is dumping we reacted. They just overproduced in addition they simply began dumping steel through the state owned entities. We reacted and it also stopped. They even did the thing that is same tires. Which means you respond beneath the guidelines, the worldwide guidelines of trade and hold them to it. That’s what you do.
