And now, a moment with Joe Biden…

BIDEN: …so, that’s why I tell everyone that you guys are like family to me. I love the Teamsters. My father was a Teamster. My grandfather was a Teamster. So, don’t anybody dare try to say that Joe Biden doesn’t know the Teamsters! You guys are my family… you’re like family. Ya know, my grandfather was a union guy all his life. I have such fond memories of sitting at our little kitchen table in my parents’ house. And Pop Pop would tell me such great stories about his life, and how proud he was to be in the union. “Joey,” he’d say. “Without the union I don’t know where I’d be.” That’s what he’d say. And, I didn’t care that he never went to college. I didn’t care that he couldn’t read or write very well; he was my granddad and I loved him. God love ‘im. Like most of you, he wasn’t fortunate enough to go to a good college or university, or have skills or talents that would earn a decent job. So, he drove a truck… long haul trucker, because, like most of you, that’s the only skill he had. He could drive a truck. And I always looked up to him. I respected the hell out of him. Here’s a guy that could do such a demeaning, thankless, awful job like driving a truck, day after day, and still be in a good mood when he came home each night. All because of the union. I mean… and it’s the same for you guys. Here you are, doing a job that most people look down on. They say you’re not very intelligent! They call you unskilled labor! Well, I’ll be happy to tell you exactly what I tell them. That what you guys may lack in brains or ingenuity you more than make up for in heart. ‘Cause you guys have heart, let me tell ya. And, that heart and that passion is what drives each and every one of you to overcome any obstacle that having a low-paying, unskilled job may create. That’s what I’m talkin’ about. God bless all of you for doing the work you do…

This has been a moment with Joe Biden.
