Elizabeth Warren in 6th Democratic Primary Debate

On Civil Rights: Trans-gender community has been marginalized

Warren: The transgender community has been marginalized in every way possible. And one thing that the president of the United States can do is lift up attention, lift up their voices, lift up their lives. Here's a promise I made: I will go to the Rose Garden once every year to read the names of transgender women of people of color who have been killed in the past year. I will make sure that we read their names so that as a nation we are forced to address the particular vulnerability. I will change the rules now that put people in prison based on their birth sex identification rather than their current identification. I will do everything I can to make sure that we are in America that leaves no one behind.

On Families & Children: Fully fund IDEA for special-needs schooling

Warren: I was a special education teacher and I loved that work because it gave me a chance to work straight up with people to recognize the worth of every human being. I have a plan as a special ed teacher to fully fund IDEA, [the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act], so every child with disabilities will get the full education they need. My housing plan is about investing in more housing across this country, but it's also about making sure that people who want to live independently, people who have disabilities will have housing available to them. I will make sure that the people who want to bid on federal contracts are treating people with disabilities fairly and paying them fairly. As a nation, we believe in treating these the least of thy brethren as people of value, and that is how we make a better America.

On Government Reform: I've done 100,000 selfies, at no cost for each handshake

Those selfies cost nobody anything. And I get it. In a democracy, we all have a lot of different points of view and everybody gets one vote. But here's the thing, people who can put down $5,000 to have a picture taken, don't have the same priorities as people who are struggling with student loan debt or struggling to pay off medical debt. I'm running a campaign where people whose voices get heard. We can't have people who can put down $5,000 for a check, drown out the voices of everyone else. They don't in my campaign and they won't in my white house.

I meet families every day in the selfie lines who talk about what it means to be crushed by student loan debt. That's why I have a proposal to ask those at the top to pay a little more.

On Health Care: A president can cut Epi-pen costs all by herself

On Homeland Security: Guantanamo prison is an international embarrassment

Warren: Yes, it's time to close this detention facility. It not only costs us money, it is an international embarrassment. We have to be an America that lives our values every single day. We can't be an America that stands up and asks people to fight alongside us, as we did with the Kurds in fighting ISIS, and then turn around in the blink of a tweet and say that we're turning our backs on the people who stood beside us. After that, who wants to be an ally of the United States? We have to be an America that understands the difference and recognizes the difference between our allies, the people who will work alongside us, and the dictators who would do us harm. And we need to treat our allies better than we treat the dictators.
