99. Castro credits Obama for current economy, to start off, goes on about health care and rent affordabi

bility.

Gabbard on China: "we stay competitive by pushing for fair trade," which she got from Bernie, sounding like Bernie; wouldn't keep a tariff on China in place b/c it hurts domestic farmers and manufacturers

Biden: I'd renegotiate the TPP; we have to rejoin with the 40% of Pacific nations we had trade with, and climate scientists sand environmentalists are there;

DeBlasio: to everyone: Trump tries to sell NAFTA 2.0; Mr JB, do you oppose a new NAFTA? From Biden: "Yes.
And I love your affection for me."

From Flint people: to Bennet: it's not just about trade but investing in this country; we've increased income inequality from the federal govt (NOT mentioning Trump!); always the "WE" who did the wrong stuff -- too weak with the wouldashouldacoulda put all on "WE."

To Yang about women: gender pay gap -- should we fine companies? Yang: I've seen it in tech world; think about women in every situation potentially vulnerable to abuse; give women econ freedom w/ a dividend of
monthly UBI;

Harris: in 2019, yes, I propose to rquire corps whether they pay equally or not on sites; corps will be fined 1% of previous yer's profits

Gillibrand: we have to have a broader conversation! To JB: voted against childcare in an OpEd b/c of responsibility avoidance to families and in general; what did he mean when he said that:

JB: it would have given people $100,000 the break but he wanted those making LESS to get the tax break and has his own kids and he can do force corps to do it; KG -- what did you mean?

JB: my wives worked, I wrote VAWA; you agreed that I did great things when we were at Syracuse, but now you don't seem to be running for president; I never believed what YOU say I said then

K Harris: on abortion & rape, have you changed your mind?
JB: Senator knows and everyone here knows and voted for the Hyde Amendment; once I wrote the legis,
I support a woman's right to choose, and will legislate support for Roe

Inslee: My state won the largest pay increase for teachers in nurses in the USA
