2:00 pm
the same opportunity as anyone else to build a good life for yourself and your family. that spark was lit just 20 miles from here in that small town of coming iowa. for ruth, it was a small farming town in minnesota. the coal miner's son and schoolteacher's daughter learned that the only direction that matters in life is forward. and they also learned to never quick, never lose faith, never stop fighting for others when you get knocked down, get right back up. so that's why they're champions
2:01 pm
for families fighting to get into the middle class and those fighting to stay there. for children, for veterans for farmers, for people with disabilities. for all of us. if you need any further evidence control of the senate actually is, look no further than tom's efforts to help us pass the global treaty on the rights of people with disabilities. as secretary of state working with the president we made the case that this the americans with disabilities act. it was one.
2:02 pm
unfortunately. people from disabilities across our country. don't let anyone tell you that it really doesn't matter. tom has gotten results by finding common ground where he could and standing his ground when he should. good jobs, higher wages, better schools, civil rights. as he said, we were on the same committee. i know how hard he worked and i know how effective he was for
2:03 pm
iowa and fr america. how did he do it? when he was young, tom was pitching hay to make a little extra money for his family. suddenly he lost his balance and fell. everyone froze when tom got up, everybody there said he should just call it a day. but not tom har kin. instead he tused himself off. climbed right back up on that truck and got back to work. now i grew up in a middle class family outside of chicago. when i got to know tom and ruth, i recognized in them the same
2:04 pm
values that i learned from my own parents. my mother had a childhood that none of us would want. she had to start working when i was 15. she overcame all that she faced and became a wonderful mother to me and my brothers and she channelled her own struggles into a deep conviction that there is worth dignity in every human being. that everyone matters. that everyone deserves not just a chance but a second chance and even a third chance to keep going and to make something of themselves. that was one of the most important lessons of my life.
2:05 pm
to open doors and put that ladder up for others. top keeps score in politics the same way that bill and i do. do children have brighter futures? do we find ways to work together instead of being apart and divided? one of the reasons this election when it comes to moving america forward we know what it takes.
2:06 pm
we have seen it in tom and we have seen it in barack obama. >> our country is on the road to recovery. here in iowa, for example, exports are up. for farmers they are way up. unemployment is down. down more than 35% since 2009 to just four and a half percent this summer. renewable energy production has quadrupled in iowa which means more jobs and a clean ehren environment. insurance companies have been forced to refund more than $1.7 million to iowa families.
2:07 pm
>> hello. you have been listening to hillary clinton speaking at iowa senator tom harkin's 37th and final steak fry. gauge the excitement for another clinton run. are iowians being accepted? >> i think definitely. this is certainly a crowd that is. it has not been so far. it continues sort of a barn burner of a speech. it is a midterm year. she talked about the basic bargain of america which is something we heard many times
2:08 pm
from president obama. the reason she is hear is yes she is thinking about running. she also is right now and has been for much of her remarks talking about the values of tom harkin. iowa, the back end something else that struck me as well was back in 2008 when hillary clinton, she finished third behind president obama and john edwards. she said i was back here six years ago in 2007.
2:09 pm
>> this time around, has she given any hint about what she might do differently in iowa if she does run again? >> one of the things i i think not to take too much from this speech here, but she talked about a couple of womens issues. one of the things we didn't see her do so much in 2007 and 2008 was really imbrace women i think that is a tip off. everything that we have seen her do, focusing on women and girls that it's going to be different this next go around. that many will argue that that is really the one to watch. it is one that could deliver
2:10 pm
rather than really trying to put that on the back burner like we saw her do almost six years ago. >> that is certainly what what we did see. and thank you from the clintons. still ahead, the latest on isis and david haines murder including comments from secretary of state john kerry that a coalition may be taking better shape. your 16-year-old daughter

>> new urgency is added to efforts to build an anti-isis coalition. we have countries in this region and outside of this region in addition to the united states, all of whom are prepared to engage in military assistance and actual strikes. people should not think about this and this effort just in terms of strikes.
2:15 pm
>> i heard an optimistic secretary of state saying a number of countries are prepared to assist. but will this coalition hold up? let me turn to congressman adam shift. >> well, of course we would like to know exactly what our allies are prepared to do. how many of them are willing to be open about it. they are giving general statements of support.
2:16 pm
i'm sure that behind the scenes they are prepared to do a lot more. a front role in combatting this terrorist state. it can't be the united states or the less being perceived as being anti-suni. >> let me ask you about senator lindsay graham. >> it's going to take an army to beat an army and this idea that we will never have any boots on the ground is fantasy. i will not let this president suggest to the american people we can outsource our security and this is not about our safety. there is no way in hell you can

2:27 pm
that, we may be able to do that. we have to be careful how we do this. we will be giving these people a lot of weapons and training but will they do what we want with those weapons and training? >> what about the revenge factor? >> they were willing and able to do so at some point in the future. we have to expect them to try to react in a way that would amount to revenge. their religion calls for it. their tactics call for and their doctrine calls for it. >> a family in the uk is shattered at the horrific and

things. so the days are a bit longer. >> amazing right? you realize how much time you spend on those things. >> right. you have to read your imagination. >> read a book, perhaps. >> that's amiamazing. we've seen the infamous pictures of hotels there which were supposed to be grand, now run down. they don't have electricity or water. was that your experience? >> obviously, listen, they put us in their best hotel. we didn't experience any of those type of things. everything was fine i'm sure outside of that, you probably -- i've been to the countryside. i went to the beach. went to the museum. i went to a fair part of the country, and overall, didn't really feel like a third-world country. >> were you comfortable? you felt safe? >> yeah, definitely i felt very safe. interesting, when you get to the airplane, the phones are -- they count your phones and count how many -- you're not supposed to leave anything behind. that kind of felt a little built

assistance, in actual strikes, if that is what it requires. and we also have a growing number of people who are prepared to do all the other things. people should not think about this, this effort just in terms of strikes. in fact, as some have pointed out, that, alone, is not going to resolve this challenge. >> and perhaps no country is more outraged and horrified by this recent video than the uk. not only was the victim a brit, but it appears his executioner is, too. underscoring the national threat. prime minister david cameron says while there won't be british boots on the ground in iraq, the uk won't be taking this fight lying down. >> there is no option of keeping our heads down that would make us safe. the problem would merely get worse as it has done over recent months, not just for us but for europe
