■今日の注目語句
[03:50] AMNA NAWAZ: Hunter Biden released a statement after the verdict, saying -- quote -- "I am more grateful today for the love and support I experienced this last week from Melissa, my family, my friends, and my community than I am disappointed by the outcome. Recovery is possible by the grace of God, and I am blessed to experience that gift one day at a time."
[05:29] And Kestan and Hallie Biden, in particular, testified to Hunter Biden's drug use in the period in question. Kestan even talked about being with Hunter when he was cooking his own crack.
[32:09] CHRISTINA MATZ, Boston College: Overall, chronological age is not a good proxy for almost anything.
[34:12] President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris hosted a Juneteenth celebration at the White House last night.
[37:50] DONALD TRUMP, Former President of the United States (R) and Current U.S. Presidential Candidate: African Americans are getting slaughtered. Hispanic Americans are getting slaughtered. And these millions and millions of people that are coming into our country, the biggest impact and the biggest negative impact is against our Black population and our Hispanic population, who are losing their jobs, losing their housing, losing everything they can lose.
[38:16] GEOFF BENNETT: More recently, he (=Trump) has talked about his criminal indictments, his felony conviction, and has said that would be in some way appealing to Black voters, which a lot of people saw as offensive on its face. What do you make of his approach?
ANDRA GILLESPIE: He sometimes pulls on threads that are accurate within African American communities, but then he usually takes them out of context, and so that he's missing an opportunity to actually effectively message to Black communities.
[39:13] He (=Trump) is not talking about the things that he did do during his term as president in terms of the FIRST STEP Act, in terms of trying to sort of dismantle certain types of structural aspects of the criminal justice system. That would actually be a more effective message that he seems to be incapable of doing. Instead, he plays to tropes, and they end up being offensive and turning off more voters than they will attract.
[39:47] There has long been a gender gap in African American communities. In an article I co-wrote with friend Nadia Brown at Georgetown, we can trace it back. We traced it back to 1972. The only time where you don't really see a gender gap is in the 2008 election with Barack Obama. So while the gender gap kind of ebbs and flows and it gets bigger over time, it's always been there. Black women have been more Democratic than their Black male counterparts for the last 50 years. So, one, he's already playing the kind of natural tendencies in African American voting behavior.
[43:20] When I talk about we're not doing enough about it is, we really don't know how many humans have been infected with this virus. And, today, there's been very limited to almost no serology testing done among any of the cases, the close contacts on the farm or their family members. So it's really hard for us to know how many people have been exposed, and if there really is any human-to-human transmission or not.
[50:26] DANIEL MORENO, U.S. Army Veteran: I have already applied out to Intel and then my next one, of course, is all the big manufacturers.
