The debate, hosted by CNN, provided the first opportunity for voters to evaluate the two candidates side-by-side this election year.

00:00We had the greatest economy in the history of our country.
00:10We have never done so well.
00:13Everybody was amazed by it.
00:15Other countries were copying us.
00:16We got hit with COVID.
00:19And when we did, we spent the money necessary so we wouldn't end up in a Great Depression,
00:23the likes of which we had in 1929 by the time we finished.
00:27So we did a great job.
00:28We got a lot of credit for the economy.
00:29A lot of credit for the military and no wars and so many other things.
00:34Everything was rocking good.
00:36I was recently in France for D-Day, and I spoke all about those heroes that died.
00:43I went to the World War II cemetery, World War I cemetery he refused to go to.
00:48He was standing with his four-star general, and he told me, he said, I don't want to go
00:51in there because they're a bunch of losers and suckers.
00:54My son was not a loser, was not a sucker.
00:56You're the sucker.
00:57You're the loser.
00:59You got to ask these people to put up the money.
01:01We're over $100 billion more spent, and it has a bigger impact on them because of location,
01:07because we have an ocean in between.
01:09You got to ask him as far as Israel and Hamas.
01:14Israel is the one that wants to go.
01:15He said the only one who wants to keep going is Hamas.
01:17Actually, Israel is the one, and you should let him go and let him finish the job.
01:21He doesn't want to do it.
01:22He's become like a Palestinian, but they don't like him because he's a very bad Palestinian.
01:27He's a weak one.
01:29It should have never happened.
01:30I will have that war settled between Putin and Zelensky as president-elect before I take
01:36office on January 20th.
01:38I'll have that war settled.
01:40People being killed so needlessly, so stupidly, and I will get it settled, and I'll get it
01:46settled fast before I take office.
01:49The only person on this stage who's a convicted felon is the man I'm looking at right now.
01:54The fact of the matter is, what he's telling you is simply not true.
01:58The fact is that there was no effort on his part to stop what was going on up in Capitol
02:04Hill, and all those people, every one of those who were convicted deserves to be convicted.
02:10The crimes that you are still charged with, and think of all the civil penalties you have.
02:14How many billions of dollars do you owe in civil penalties for molesting a woman in public,
02:19for doing a whole range of things, of having sex with a porn star on the night while your
02:25wife was pregnant?
02:27What are you talking about?
02:29You have the morals of an alley cat.
02:32Do you have a minute, sir?
02:33I didn't have sex with a porn star.
