President Joe Biden used the phrase “ideas” 27 times during his 90-minute debate with former President Trump on Thursday.
Biden tried to revive some of the Democrats’ talking points, from the “very fine people” fiction to the “idiots and losers” fabrication, but when he wasn’t wide-eyed and at a loss for words, Biden stuck to his usual rhetoric.
Biden repeated the phrase “ideas” 27 times during the CNN debate.
1. Biden first used the phrase during a Q&A on abortion, when he said women are raped by their in-laws, spouses and even siblings, and bizarrely downplayed the crime of illegal immigration.
“idea Saying that states can do this is like saying we’re giving civil rights back to the states, where each state has different rules. Look, there’s this idea that a lot of young women, including the young woman who was just killed, were killed by immigrants who attended their funerals. They talk about that. But the thing is, there are a lot of young women who have been raped by their in-laws or spouses or brothers and sisters. That’s just ridiculous, and they can’t do anything about it.”
2. He did it again during a discussion on the same topic.
“idea “It’s absurd that politicians, the Founding Fathers, would want politicians to make decisions about women’s health.”
3. He said these two words during a debate about illegal immigration.
“I’m not saying that terrorists didn’t infiltrate, idea They are emptying the prisons… that’s simply not true.”
4 + 5. Biden said it again after saying Trump should apologize for lying about him.
“And the second one is, ideaidea That I owe you an apology for something.”
And it continued ten more times.
6. “And we will withdraw from NATO. idea Our strength also lies in our alliances.”
7. + 8. “idea “Those guys are patriots, what a joke. I asked him in the first two debates, ‘Do you condemn the Proud Boys?’ He said, ‘No, I would tell them to stand by.'” ideahe refuses — do you blame these people?
9. + 10. “idea There is no way that I did anything wrong in terms of what you’re talking about. That’s just a lie. Number one, number two, idea “Just because the president is wrong, he has the right to seek retribution against the American people.”
11. And idea For some reason, that’s the only reason I ran. I ran because I was worried that a guy like this guy could get elected.”
12. And idea “He says this whole thing is fabricated. We saw it with our own eyes. We saw what happened on January 6th.”
13. For example, I idea “Black families who are first-time home buyers should get a $10,000 tax credit so they can buy their first home and start their lives.”
14. “We are idea We haven’t done that. I’ve had more police on the streets than any administration. He wants fewer police.”
15. “idea“Everything he says is true. I passed the most far-reaching climate change bill in history.”
16. “We are idea Is he claiming to have done something that used the cleanest water, the purest water?”
17. “idea The problem is, we were actually the only significant country that wasn’t a party to the Paris Agreement.”

19. “idea They’re not going to do that, I’m not going to do that, I’m proposing that everyone they pay do that…”
20. “idea It’s absurd to say we don’t need to protect our elderly.”
twenty one.”idea I’ve said before that veterans aren’t getting enough attention.”
22. “The second one is idea “We think we’re going to have a situation where millions of illegal immigrants are coming into the country and taking our jobs. There’s a reason why we have the fastest growing economy in the world.”
23. “The second one is idea “I’m not kidding when I say we’re talking about the worst president ever.”
twenty four.”idea he [inaudible] Everything related to childcare.
twenty five.”idea “Somehow, our country is in decline. I’ve never heard a president talk like this.”
26. + 27. “Ideas, ideas“I can’t think of a single major world leader that I wouldn’t trade for the job that I’ve done and what they’ve done, because we’re a powerful country.”
