Biden: "I love telling Trump this, even though I don't own any stock. The stock market is at a historic high."
Biden: "That's why I call him Donald 'Herbert Hoover' Trump!"
Biden brings up Trump's stories about sharks and electrocutions
Biden brings up Trump's praise for Putin and says, "but people would rather talk about how I mix up names. I guess they don't remember that Trump called Nikki Haley Nancy Pelosi."
Biden is really unloading on Trump: "Donald Trump is a convicted criminal ... of 34 felonies for paying hush money to a porn star and hiding it from voters in 2016. Donald Trump was found liable for sexual assault ... it's the judge's language, not mine. He raped her."
Biden is interrupted by demonstrator and after a lengthy pause says, "Folks, look, I understand her passion. That's why I put together a detailed plan that the UN has accepted, that the Israelis have accepted, that the Palestinians have accepted ... This war must end."
Biden: "Trump said if he wins, he'll be a dictator on day one. He means it, folks. We're not gonna let that happen. Over my dead body it will happen."
Biden: "Just look at this right-wing Project 2025... [it] is run & paid for by Trump people... [it's] the biggest attack on our system of government and our personal freedom that has ever been proposed in this country... [it] will criminalize the shipping of abortion medication"
Biden: "I know I look 40, but I'm a little bit older. Hopefully with age comes a little wisdom. And here's what I know. I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. I know how & I've demonstrated how to do this job. And I know Americans want a president not a dictator."

Elizabeth Wilkins: "People are looking for different ideas. The bad version is that an undermining of people's faith in democracy leads to authoritarianism. The good version is that we get together to think about what we need in terms of power the ideas and the people to create a new common sense -- one that brings us back for the modern era to that marriage of democracy and capitalism, where democracy shapes markets for the public good."
@PatrioticMills @SnapStream Patriotic Millionaires founder Erica Payne: "Here's what happened. Doesn't matter who's in charge. Tax rates for the rich always go down."
Maria Bartiromo on a weaker than expected February jobs report: "The jobs picture is weakening. Weaker than expected jobs again in the month of February tells you that the Fed is gonna cut rates!"
BARTIROMO: We've got a meeting coming up. Does anyone on this panel think the Fed is gonna cut rates at the next meeting?
STEPHEN MOORE: Well, I don't think they should. I just don't see a case for lower interest rates right now. We still have inflation at the 3-4% range.

Wyden: "Mr Kennedy has embraced conspiracy theories, quacks, charlatans, especially when it comes to the safety and efficacy of vaccines. He has made it his life's work to sow doubt and to discourage parents from getting their kids lifesaving vaccines. It has been lucrative for him."

Sen. Roger Wicker: "This nomination is unconventional, just like that New York developer who rode down the escalator in 2015 to announce his candidacy for president. That may be what makes Mr. Hegseth an excellent choice."
