BIDEN: We’ve already restored protections for three national monuments gutted by the last administration, two not so far from here in Utah: the Grand Staircase and Bears Ears. (Applause.)

By the way, I’ll never forget: I was standing in Washington, and a little girl walked up. And I could see her daddy say, “Go up and say something to the President.” She walked up and she said, “Mr. President, would you take care of Bears Ears for me?” And I didn’t know what she meant when she said it: “Would you take care of Bears Ears for me?” Well, we took of her, and we gave her the signing pen. (Laughter.)

And I say this with all sincerity — no one ever doubts that I mean what I say; sometimes I say all that I mean, though — (laughter)

And folks, it’s not hyber- — hyperbole to suggest that there is no national treasure — none that is grander than the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon, one of the Earth’s nine wonders — wonders of the world, literally. Think of that. You know, it’s amazing. An enduring symbol of America to the entire world.

The first time I saw the Grand Canyon, years ago, I was a young senator. As I stood there and looked out, a phrase came to mind. It was instinctive. I said this must be — this is God’s cathedral. That’s what it reminded me of. It just is so magnificent. As a matter of fact — I said nine — it’s one of the seven wonders of the world.

In all, these historic measures will put us on track to cut all American emissions in half — in half — by 2030, and we’re well on our way. (Applause.)

It also creates enormous unem- — employment, enormous growth in things that better people’s lives.

And now, a faltering stumble down Memory Lane. Is there any subject, woman, or child he doesn’t touch on? And Barack was there the whole time?

And I was rai- — I was a lucky man.  I was raised by a father who was a — thought everyone was entitled to be treated with dignity.  I remember when I was — I hadn’t thought about this a long time.  I remember when I was a kid, I — I was a lifeguard at a country club, but I wanted to — I was — got deeply involved in the Civil Rights Movement.  And so, I wanted to work in what they called “The Bucket,” which was a public housing complex — a large complex on the east side of Wilmington — and — which was all African American. 

And they had the — like all big cities, they had three major swimming pools.  One on the east side, which is where they — a thousand African American kids a day would come and swim in this big pool.  And I wanted to be a lifeguard there. 

And so, my dad, on the way to work, would drop me off at the city hall to go in and get my — my application [How many times did he have to apply?] for being the employee — the only white lifeguard that — well, not at the time, but I was the only — I wasn’t applying to be the only white — I just happened to be the only white lifeguard. 

And it’s in what they call Rodney Square.  If any of you have any little corporations in Delaware — there’s more corporations in Delaware than every other state in America combined, not a joke.  And the fact is that it was a great corporate entity at the time: Rodney Square.  There was the DuPont Building, the Hercules Building, and other major buildings around that square. 

So I was getting out of the car to go into the city hall.  And these two well-dressed men leaned over and kissed one another.  And I’d never seen that before. 

I turned and looked at my dad.  And I just looked at him.  He said, “Joey, it’s simple.  They love each other.  It’s simple.”  And so, I got lucky, the kind of dad I had. 

And these two little kids, when we walked into this home were — when I was talking to them, they said, “I want you to meet my daddy and my mommy,” and they were two men.  And I watched how they loved both those kids and how the kids loved them. 

And I told Barack, at the time, that I wasn’t going to go out and — and make it a campaign issue beforehand.  But if anybody asked me, I wasn’t going to be silent.  No one had asked me.  (Laughs.)  No one ever doubts I mean what I say — I mean when I say; sometimes I say all that I mean. 

And so, I got on the show, and the first question he asked me was that question.  I was persona non grata with everyone but Barack for a while because it was thought to be a political liability.

Why didn’t we think of this before?

From now on, weirdos from the outside ought to pay to comment randomly on IMAO.

I mean, we know who we are. And weirdos know who they are.

The dues they pay to comment — say – $120 — can be divided equally among the rest of us.

(Interns will deduct most of it, somehow.)

I don’t know what we’ll charge Frnak to post, though…

Maybe Walrus will ponder this in a Vegas private club. Give us some insider tips. Or at least photos of same.
