Vance [campaign event]: I worry about our food supply. What has gone wrong with our food supply, that we have got an obesity epidemic in this country unlike we've ever seen in the history of the world? That really worries me. What are we putting; you know, we have all of these weird childhood diseases that we did not have three, five, decades ago. Does that suggest that we're putting too much weird stuff in our water, or to much weird stuff in our food supply?
Mr. Biden [Milwaukee]: We're here today because we're finally addressing an issue that should have been addressed a long time ago in this country, The danger that lead pipes pose to our drinking waterโฆI'm here today to tell you, I'm finally insisting that it gets prioritized, and I'm insisting it get done.
[admitting that he is finally doing something about the pipes?]
Mr. Biden: Today I'm announcing an additional two billion dollars in grants to state and local communities to get the job done [replace lead pipes].
[how much of that will actually be used for lead pipes?]
Mr. Biden: I'm announcing a new rule, written into law of the Environmental Protection Agency, that requires water systems across America replace lead pipe service in every single one in America within ten years.
[does such a 'rule' have any meaning after the Chevron decision?]
Mr. Biden: It;s also about fairness. Nationally., I'm directing nearly half of this funding go to disadvantages communities that have born the brunt of lead pipe poisoning for damn too long. Studies show community of colors, communities of color, have been the hardest hit.
[replacing lead pipes on a race-based priority]
First Lady Melania Trump is about to appear on The Five!
Question: Are you worried about your husband's safety in the next twenty-nine days?
First Lady Melania Trump: Of course I do. Yes, I do. I think when they call him, he's a threat to democracy, let's ask ourselves who is really a threat to democracy. They are ongoing with lawfare against the former president, as well as trying to get him off the voting ballots, and trying to silence him. So, yes, of course, I was always afraid what can happen, and that they continuing with that kind of language is just; it's a toxic atmosphere.
