finally get this election off our backs. jeanne moos, cnn, new york. >> all right, everyone. it's time. thanks for joining us. we'll see you tomorrow at a special time, 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. eastern. get out, cast your vote. "a.c. 360" starts now. good evening, thanks for joining us. tonight, two hours of last-minute jockeying after nearly a year and a half of just about everything imaginable and unimaginable as well. yes, the most unusual, most unprecedented, unlikeliest, unruleiest presidential campaign ever is almost history. at the moment, though, it's still going on and it will be well into the 11th hour tonight. and probably beyond. bon jovi's playing now at the clinton/obama bruce springsteen rally site outside of independence hall. hillary clinton arrived a few moments ago. she and the obamas due at the event very shortly. we'll bring you that. both candidates holding late events during our program and

two more right around mid-night or even later. we'll listen to both. all day the candidates and sir gats and supporters have been hitting the battlegrounds, nearly two dozen rallies. mike pence, ivanka trump, bill clinton, al gore, president obama and more. on top of that, new early voting numbers are in. some are simply huge. most people have now voted early in florida than voted there total back in 2000. more people there. some of the last national polls are coming in as well. our newest cnn poll of polls now showing hillary clinton with a four-point lead. there's that. there's the last-minute maneuvering. president obama's final campaign, possibly the first woman president, possibly in donald trump the most unconventional. any one of those story lines would be enough on any election eve. tonight we have all of the above and more. let's start with the state by state road to the white house. cnn "inside politics" anchor john king. both on the hunt for 270, including a heavy emphasis on pennsylvania. can trump make a comeback, can he reach the presidency without it? >> anderson, just think about it, this time tomorrow we'll be filling in the map, the red and

the blue, we'll be counting the votes. can donald trump win without pennsylvania? yes. is it conceivable, though? not really. why pennsylvania is getting so much attention. back? time to 2012. this is a state republicans in every presidential election think we're going to get and fall short. donald trump thinks he can make the difference if one of the aren't, he's campaigning in scranton. lackawanna county. president obama won it in 2012 with 63% of the vote. this is a key test tomorrow night. watch this county. is hillary clinton getting around 6 o%? if so, she's probably on her way to a pennsylvania victory. if not, donald trump is making inroads we've been talking about with white working class voters. it's a key test. hillary clinton in the state, she's in philadelphia right now but started the day out here, allegheny county. why? again, 10% of the state out here, it is surrounded by red. donald trump will run it up in all these red areas especially the "t" in the center of the state as they call it. hillary clinton needs to pad the vote in allegheny county. where she is in absolutely

critical. 20 electoral votes in pennsylvania for the democrats to get them, they need a huge turnout in philadelphia, they need to win the suburbs a. anderson, the rust belt is key to donald trump's strategy. >> michigan is getting a lot of attention. >> michigan has become a late target for donald trump. early in the campaign they said they would get it and then ignored it for a while. they're back to gn begmichigan. this is the 2012 map, a state president obama won comfortably. by nine points. can donald trump turn it? hasn't voted republican for president since 1988. both donald trump and hillary clinton focusing on grand rapids. donald trump will be there later tonight. 6% of the population, out in the western republican part of the state. why is hillary clinton out that way? to keep the margins like this. if you can keep the margins close in the suburbs, you have a chance. run it up in detroit but keep the margins close here. donald trump, one of the reasons they're pushing so hard at the end, they're nervous they might not get north carolina. even trade, eventually.

16 in michigan, 15 in north carolina. >> ass final day come . >> there's two very competing near aries about this as we do this. let's bring up the electoral map. this is where we have it on the final night. hillary clinton 268. donald trump at 204. even most republicans out in nevada will tell you, they think because of early voting, that one's going do go blue. so at this point, if you look at map, hillary clinton already across the finish line at 274. there are some democrats including sitting at the table with you tonight who think this could play out like this. donald trump gets arizona. some democrats think hillary clinton could actually run the board here in the east. small and large. win florida, north carolina, new hampshire. and end up in the ballpark of 322. this map does not include the congressional district in nebraska and one in maine. they count them by congressional -- we haven't allocated those. a lot of democrats think hillary clinton could run the board and get into the 230s. but here's donald trump's best-case scenario. maybe she does win nevada but he takes arizona, wants to take florida, wants to take north carolina. if he does that, any one of

these blues, either pennsylvania or michigan, will get him over the top. here's the fallback scenario. this is why we're talking about these states today. let's say clinton gets north carolina, for donald trump to win he needs pennsylvania, he needs michigan. now, democrats tell you that's unlikely. they say look at the history. they say look at the organization. donald trump's message all day long, anderson, has been brexit plus plus. that's what he's counting on. >> all right, john, come back. toit go to the rest of the panel. proud pennsylvanian michael smerconish joins us. cnn senior political commentator, former obama senior adviser, david axelrod. gloria borger. kayleigh mcenany and jeffrey lord. middle, clinton supporters paul begala and van jones, we like to call them fired up and ready to go. van's a former obama senior adviser. let's take a look at philadelphia right now. this is the scene there. before we get to the panel, a massive crowd out at this

clinton event. bruce springsteen is going to be playing, bon jovi has already played. we're going tbe hearing from bil clinton, chelsea clinton, we're told, president obama, michelle obama and also hillary clinton. they are trying as much as possible to get out as many people as possible. in the state of pennsylvania. in that philadelphia area which is so critical to democrats and to turnout. we're going to be bringing you as much from this event and also from any donald trump events over the course of the next two hours and beyond tonight. events going even past midnight tonight. cnn's going to be continuing to cover all of that. as we continue to look out at that scene, gloria borger, i mean, there is -- there is so much to talk about. i'm not even sure where to begin tonight. pennsylvania, obviously critical. this is why -- it's not a coincidence they picked philadelphia. >> no, and don't forget, pennsylvania hasn't had early voting. this is about getting out the vote. this is about getting your

voters enthusiastic and getting them to get their friends out to vote and they're certainly getting the band back together among democrats tonight. >> literally, bon jovi. >> literally. literally. i've never seen an incumbent president campaign the way that barack obama has campaigned for hillary clinton. these are two people who, you know, ran against each other in a very hard-fought race in twha2008, were not always friends, their staff was not always friends. look at the way obama has campaigned for her, it's extraordinary. not only because his legacy is on the line, but he also believes in what she can do for the country. >> let's check in can michelle kosinski who's there in philadelphia. michelle, explain what we are looking at. i mean, it's a really a massive, massive crowd. how long have they been there? when did this begin? >> reporter: well, you know, for all of these events, and this one is no different, people start lining up several hours ahead of time.

we were at an event the other day. people were waiting in line from before dawn for nine hours to see president obama. so he has that enthusiasm. that is clear. here, it was a little bit less of a wait time. about five hours. we just heard jon bon jovi play, so it's a festive scene even though it's cold out here tonight. people are excited to see everyone. of course, tonight is not just president obama, and that's the mood, that they wont to hear president obama say good-bye essentially and pass that baton and hear from hillary clinton. the excitement level -- >> what is the order of events? >> reporter: what president obama has been trying to generate. first we're going to hear from bill clinton. we're going to hear from the president and lastly hillary clinton. michelle obama also tonight. they're just going to try to give that final push. you know, from president obama, we've seen him in 16 prior campaign events. he's tried to change it up each time. he's tried to add something a

little bit different. you know, hearing donald trump during his appearances today say things like the system is rigged, saying that over and over again, saying that america doesn't win anymore, these are things that legitimately irritate president obama. i mean, you hear the annoyance in his voice when he talks about how not only donald trump but other republicans say these things. and that's contributed to his energy as he's been out on the campaign stage. today, though, what we're hearing from the white house is he's going to make it a little bit more emotional. it's going to be a little bit different. they're talking about this being an emotional pitch to the people he's met along the way. we know that he's already gone through several drafts of his speech tonight. and when you think back to the speech he made at the democratic national convention in july, how that was a little bit reminiscent. more emotional. i think that's what we're going to hear tonight, anderson. >> michelle kosinski, we'll continue to check in with you. we want to bring as much as this

event to you as we can tonight. we're going to be hearing from bruce springsteen, obviously michelle was just talking about president obama, michelle obama who's been a huge boost to the hillary clinton campaign over the last several weeks. particularly after -- seems like she really sort of got involved after david axelrod, after the "access hollywood" tape came out, that seemed to sort of spur michelle obama on in a way to come forward and get out on the campaign trail in a way we hadn't previously seen. >> there's no doubt that was one impetus. i think she was committed before that. we saw her at the convention and she made a very compelling speech at the convention. and the one thing about michelle obama is she doesn't go out there unless she wants to. she doesn't go out there without conviction and she believes in this and she believes in it not just because of her husband's legacy, but she believes that there's a choice here that is consequential for her daughters and for the country and she's -- she has been probably the most

effective surrogate that hillary clinton has had in this campaign. >> trump rally to begin shortly. as you're seeing on the right-hand side of your screen, shortly in manchester, new hampshire. michael smerconish, you know pennsylvania well. what are you looking at in the state, what are you going to be looking at particularly tomorrow? >> well, first of all, knowing that i would be here with you tonight on business, i voted a week ago, but the point is well taken that -- >> how many times? >> only once. only once. just to offset you. but -- just kidding. but unless you have a showing for cause, you can't vote early. we have a very anachronistic system. part of the reason all of this attention is being focused in pennsylvania tonight is because no one has yet been able to exercise the franchise. the observation i would make is we just televised this large rally in scranton, pennsylvania, for donald trump. now you're looking at another crowd in philadelphia. it's what lies behind these crowds i think is significant. it's an organic effort on the part of the trump campaign. counting on folks who have not been politically involved to get out there on their own

initiative and cast ballots. behind that crowd, independence hall if philadelphia, metrics of the clinton campaign, beiringin folks out to vote and orchestrated ward apparatus, street money, organized efforts to go knock on doors and bring folks out. therein lie the differences between what will happen tomorrow in pennsylvania. >> john, how important is tonight these kind of events tonight in some of these states? >> well, because there is no early voting, the events you're seeing today in michigan, events in new hampshire, these events in philadelphia, again, clinton was in both pittsburgh, now in philadelphia. donald trump dropped into scranton. little hello to vice president biden, his hometown. i want to read you some numbers. no matter who wins tomorrows what has happened, what have we done in this election? changed debates about trade, changed debates about the corrupt system, campaign finance. donald trump and bernie sanders in agreement on a lot of these thing. there's a lot that's going to change no matter who wins. 27, 30 hours before we know that. i want to read you some numbers. this is philadelphia four years ago. barack obama, 557,024 votes.

mitt romney, 91,840. that's what the democrats have to do tomorrow in philadelphia. if you look at the center part of that state i was shows on in the map, donald trump is going to run it up even more than mitt romney because if michael's right and jeffrey are right about this organic ground swell of whether they're tea party voters, whether they're blue collar voters, running it up for donald trump, the democrats have to prove they can turn that city out tomorrow, lesser degree in allegheny county. they need just in the city of philadelphia tomorrow. >> it's interesting, though, i mean, what -- seems like the democrats are trying to do here tonight is sort of recreate the democratic convention a little bit. i mean, sort of try to bring the band back together, get michelle obama, get some of the, you know, bruce springsteen, get some of that energy that they had. >> and just to point out, this is a very efficient market because it's not just the city of philadelphia that's going to be central to the outcome, but the suburbs of philadelphia. >> right.

>> and so they're going to be speaking not just to voters in philadelphia but also swing voters in the suburbs with who have been more than usual trending toward hillary clinton and particularly women which is i think -- i think why michelle obama's role here is very important. >> and this is going to be covered on local television, i would presume, right? >> oh, my god. it's being live streamed right now. >> it will be wall to wall. that's what they need. >> can i make an observation? i don't think bruce springsteen is just another celebrity tonight. you look at the lyrics, look at the crowd that he reaches. donald trump has cut into that springsteen constituentsy. although i know he's supportive of democratic candidates generally, i think it was a deliberate play. poor bon jovi has to be the warmup act for the boss tonight. that springsteen constituency is very much in play in p.a. >> if he offers, you take it, right? >> jeffrey? >> the difference between the crowd you're seeing there in philadelphia, and the trump crowds is the trump crowds come to see trump and come there by

the tens of thousands. these people are coming to see the boss. and whatever political entertainment. but they're not necessarily all voters here. they're coming for some musical entertainle. >> you don't believe the people in this crowd are going to be out voting tomorrow? >> some of them, a lot of them, sure. i'm not sure all of them are. let me be candid. i'm a fan of the boss. i were living there, i'd go. and i wouldn't be voting for hillary clinton. one of the problems here, i mean, i think all year, what we've been seeing is an american-style revolution, if you will. peaceful but people out in the countryside, van's going, giving me the sign here, people out in the countryside have had enough for a whole variety of things. you mentioned michelle obama. let me bring this up. i happen to like michelle obama. there it goes, my credibility. >> i assume that's a prelude to something else. >> well, it is. it is. it is. and that is that one of the things that got her interested in this all of a sudden was that "access hollywood" tape. >> yeah. >> in which the "p" word was mentioned.

and yet there is hillary clinton with jay-z who has a song, specifically titled with the "p" word filled with all sorts of e -- goes to the double standard and hypocrisy here, in other words, if they hear something in a private conversation that happens to be taped by a republican, this is awful yet they'll stand up there. >> i guess the question is does somebody want jay-z to be president of the united states as opposed to donald trump who would be -- >> no, i would disagree, the larger question is, look, hypocrisy. one rule for elites and one rule for regular folks. >> all right. >> johnny cash sang a song, said i shot a man in reno just to watch him die. it doesn't mean you campaign with a murderer. there's a big difference. in his art -- by the way, i couldn't name a jay-z song if you gave me 100 bucks. it's not my kind of music. i'm a johnny cash guy. artists need to push the envelope and create characters and do things like that -- >> what do you do to american culture when you do that?

>> i believe jay-z is greatly relieved that you're not -- if you're his in his demo all of a sudden -- >> ted nugent was performing for trump. what does he -- >> right. and why did that make news? >> the difference is for jay-z to shout these -- to shout these explaetietives on a stage at a political rally while the democrats are trying to stand on a moral high ground saying we're better than that and hillary clinton is putting out commercials with little girls looking in the mirror -- >> ted nugent grabbed his package at his concert, didn't he? said i got your blue states right here? >> but my point is, if democrats want to put out commercials of little girls looking in the mirror, making themselves as the moral paragon of virtue, you cannot have jay-z on a stage shouting expletives -- >> i agree with you, when jay-z run for president, he's going to have to answer for that. he's not the candidate for president. >> hillary is. >> that's the problem. >> one thing that's interesting -- >> there's bruce springsteen on the stage. but -- >> not grab anybody's genitals. >> i hope not. his or anybody else's.

part of what they're trying to do -- >> you want me to take it? >> keep going. >> take it. >> the reason jay-z is even being talked about is because they're trying to drive up that millennial participation. >> let's listen in. ♪ ♪ well, screen door slams ♪ like a vision she dances across the porch ♪ ♪ singing it's me and i want you home ♪ ♪ don't turn me home again i just can't face myself alone again ♪

want a great way to help our children thrive? then be sure to vote yes on proposition 55. prop 55 doesn't raise taxes on anyone. instead, it simply maintains the current tax rate on the wealthiest californians to prevent education cuts that would hurt our kids. no wonder prop 55 is endorsed by the california pta, teachers and educators. because all of us want to help our children thrive. it's time to vote yes on proposition 55.

hillary clinton, donald trump both expected to speak shortly. hillary clinton going from philadelphia to raleigh, north carolina. bruce springsteen performing right now. donald trump speaking shortly at this event in manchester, new hampshire, where running mate, mike pence, is talking right now. let's listen to him. >> new hampshire, one day from now, you must do your part to ensure that the next president to make appointments to the supreme court of the united states is president donald trump.

so, as i wrap up and i'm going to slide off the stage and the next time you see me, you'll see him. i want to leave you with a challenge. i want to leave you with a challenge. i got a couple things for you to do because this isn't about rallies, right? this is about -- this is about making a difference. i mean, this is no ordinary time in the life of our nation. i'll never forget the night, it seems like just yesterday, karen and i, we had been told the call was coming. we prayed through it. we talked through it as a family. we knew what our answer would be. the phone rang, i picked up the phone, i heard that very familiar voice on the end of the line. he said mike, it's going to be great. and it has been. and it will be when we make donald trump the president of the united states of america. >> mike pence in new hampshire.

now cnn's brianna keilar has just gotten off the clinton plane. br brianna, what have you been hearing about tonight, about what to expect? >> reporter: well, this is rally of all rallies when it comes to hillary clinton. i mean, you can see behind me just all of these people, tens of thousands of people here in front of independence hall and around it. you know, hillary clinton, if i can show this to you, hillary clinton often gets knocked for not having the attendance at her rallies. she doesn't have the mega-rallies normally that donald trump does. as you can see here, she certainly does tonight. part of that is because she's getting a little help from her friends. president obama here, first lady michelle obama here as well as her husband, bill clinton and her daughter, chelsea clinton, as well as some star power here. bruce springsteen playing to the crowd here, getting them ready for sort of the main part of the evening. and we also understand that jon bon jovi is here. not going to perform.

he's going to fly with hillary clinton on her plane to raleigh, north carolina, and he's going to be performing there. so, anderson, you know, she's -- it's not just her. she is drawing a large crowd with all of these people who are here to support her. >> i think, actually, bon jovi actually already played there tonight, brianna, before you got there. i know you just got off the plane. how confident is the clinton campaign heading into these final hours, brianna? >> reporter: they are cautiously optimist optimistic. i will tell you that, they feel pretty foogood. part is because they have more pathways to 270 electoral votes than donald trump does. now, you've looked at the polls here in the final days and they've tightened. so that's something that has certainly a number of democrats and democratic supporters of hillary clinton's biting their nails and worried about what is going to happen tomorrow, but when you talk to clinton aides and they're looking at their internal polling and they're looking at early voting, where

they have seen an uptick in latino voters coming out which they think is going to play to their advantage in a major way, they're feeling pretty good about it. of course, we have to wait until tomorrow and see if they're correct. >> and in terms of closing argument, what's the message the campaign is trying to get across? >> reporter: it's two pronged in a way. now, initially hillary clinton had wanted to end her campaign on a high note because this has been such a, at times, nasty campaign that we have seen, just a brutal fight between hillary clinton and donald trump. in the end, because of the polls tightening, she wasn't able to do that as much as they had initially planned. we heard some positive notes today. she's out with positive ads over the weekend, another one out today, and she certainly was talking about this message of inclusivity and also how she wants to bring people together but at the same time, anderson, she's making this argument against donald trump. she said repeatedly, this is the third of four stops, she has said repeatedly today, donald

trump is experiencially and temperamentally unfit to be president, so that is really -- that is really the, i guess, the umbrella over her argument against donald trump which is a key part of her closing argument here. >> all right. brianna keilar, thanks very much. back to the trump/pence rally in new hampshire. let's check in with cnn's sara murray who is in manchester. so this is where trump got his first primary win. he's close to clinton there in the polls. what's his final pitch to voters tonight? >> reporter: well, look, as you point out, this is sort of a nostalgic state for him where he got his first win as a presidential candidate and he is going to show up here and sort of continue trying to hammer home the message he's been hitting all day which is the notion he is the change candidate. he's certain to have some cutting attacks against hillary clinton. he has not held back on that all day today. and anderson, this is really a state where the polls have been all over in the last sort of month or so, but it's a place where they really did see republicans begin to come home

in the wake of comey's first letter about hillary clinton's e-mails and the big question for them now is whether they can get over the top in new hampshire. this is a state where people predominantly vote on election day. i think you're going to see donald trump come out and give a very vigorous pitch reminding people to show up for him tomorrow. >> and trump's final rally tonight is in michigan which is obviously a state that hasn't voted for a republican since 1988. does the campaign feel like they really have a chance of pulling off a win there tomorrow? >> reporter: they do feel like they have a shot there because they feel like donald trump is a different kind of republican running in michigan. they feel like he's the kind of republican who can win over some of these union democrats who have gone blue in the past and that could be their path to victory, but anderson, this is also a necessity, let's be completely honest about that. donald trump does not have as many paths to victory as hillary clinton does and many, many of those paths hinge on flipping one of these blue states red. and they sort of feel like michigan is one of their best

options at this point. now, they have a couple other options. there is one option through new hampshire that could get them exactly to 270, but they're trying to keep as many paths open as possible at this point. >> all right, sara murray, thanks very much. going to check back in with sara throughout sthethese two hours well as brianna keilar with the clinton campaign. we'll be taking hillary clinton, president obama, michelle obama as well. you have bruce springsteen there thanking the crowd. taking in the applause of the crowd. we're told there's going do be bill clinton, his daughter, chelsea, michelle obama, president obama, hillary clinton. a huge crowd there turned out as we wait for that event and also waiting for donald trump to show up at his event. we'll bring you his comments as well. john king, i mean, did seem donald trump kind of went off message somewhat today, i mean, on this closing day taking credit at one point for release of information about obamacare premiums which is actually something the government, the

numbers get released by the government, not something donald trump controls. one point he was talking about nfl ratings, i was watching. i mean, for a guy who's been pretty much on message, it was interesting today to see it sort of go off a bit. >> i say on the last night of the campaign, i hope we can have bipartisan agreement on this, we should give these candidates a little bit of grace in the sense they're doing four, five states a day. they've been at this for months and mons and months and months. guess what, when candidates get tired, they say silly things. yes, you're right. donald trump sometimes takes credit for the sunrise and sometimes takes credit that apple pie is something we all like to eat. it's the last day of the campaign. i don't want to beat up on the guy way too much. against, democrats say this should be a warning to you and republicans say, no, this is proof donald trump has learned the lesson of the campaign. in the last month or so, he has been for the most part, with some glaring exceptions, for the most part, a traditional republican candidate reading a speech on teleprompter, in which he talks about repealing obamacare, cutting taxes,

getting rid of regulations. forgive me, jeffrey, but you can close your eyes and if you didn't know the voice, it could be marco rubio or jeb bush giving that speech. that's been interesting. >> here's chelsea clinton and bill clinton. let's listen in. >> good evening, philadelphia. oh. it is so exciting to see and hear and feel so much enthusiasm this evening. it has been one of the great honors of my life to travel throughout the country over the last months on behalf of my mother's campaign. to meet the thousands of organizers who were working so hard with probably no sleep. to meet so many of the million volunteers who have been part of this campaign. and to now be here tonight with the tens of thousands of people -- >> chelsea clinton, former president bill clinton and, again, we're going to be bringing you michelle obama, president obama, and hillary

clinton as well as donald trump at his event. in terms of the arguments now that both sides are making, i mean, how do you see the final argument that the clinton campaign is trying to make? >> you know, i want to say something, there's the main argument that comes from the campaign, and from the candidates and all the big guns, but i've been talking to people at the grassroots level trying to figure out how to unlock this millennial of color vote. we were talking about jay-z earlier. i think the problem with jay-z wasn't just the language, he was talking about assaulting people, but we can leave that alone. the reality is that we -- that some arguments are starting to work for some of these young millennials of color. i just want to brag on them. they figured out very quickly that telling young people of color that, you know, somebody died for your right to vote was a big turnoff. that they don't want to hear that. they feel like they're being guilted by their grandparents. that's a big turnoff. but what does work is when they're telling these young people, not that somebody died a long time ago, but you might

die, that you need to have a local prosecutor that will do a good job. they turned the local races around. >> let's listen in to former president clinton. >> i am so proud of our daughter, i'm grateful for her. i'm grateful for all of you who have worked for her from the beginning to today. i'm grateful to bruce springsteen and jon bon jovi. i'm grateful to all of you. but i want you to take just one minute to think of where we are and what it means. this country began here. right here. with people who pledged their lives, their fortunes, their sacred honor, to form a more perfect -- >> union! >> in other words, we're stronger together. and i have watched in this

campaign as our candidate lived a campaign as she has lived her life. dedicated to making changes for other people. proving that no matter what came along, that no matter what they hit her with, no matter what obstacles were in the road, she would keep her eyes on other people. on the futures that our children are, our grandchildren, deserve. on how we could move forward together. and no matter what happens, she said, we're stronger together. that means answers are better than anger. empowerment is better than resentment. working together is better than fighting all the time. and it's way better to lift somebody up than put people down. that is the candidate. and tomorrow the american people are going to be given a chance. >> we're going to have more of this event.

we're going to take a short break. more live coverage of the candidates as they make their final pitches to voters on this election eve. michelle obama, president obama, hillary clinton, donald trump all ahead. stay tuned. you wouldn't believe what's in this kiester. a farmer's market. a fire truck. even a marching band. and if i can get comfortable talking about this kiester, then you can get comfortable using preparation h. for any sort of discomfort in yours. preparation h. get comfortable with it. okay google, show me korean restaurants in boulder. google assistant: i found a few places. vo: the new pixel, phone by google.

exclusively on verizon. the only next gen network that lets you get the most out of it. how is this possible? vo: because verizon lte advanced delivers 50% faster peak speeds in 450 cities, coast to coast. buy a pixel and get up to $400 back. and get 20 gigs of data with no surprise overages, and 4 lines for only $40 each. why settle when you can have it all on verizon? whether it's connecting one of or bringing wifi to 65,000 fans. campuses.

businesses count on communication, and communication counts on centurylink.

michelle obama is now speaking in philadelphia. let's listen in. >> our next president. now how amazing is that? so i am honored to be here on the stage on the eve of this historic moment. i'm also emotional because in many ways speaking here tonight is, perhaps, the last and most important thing that i can do for my country as first lady.

and let me just take a moment to thank you, to thank the people of this country for giving our family the extraordinary honor of serving as your first family. thank you for your love. thank you for your prayers. thank you for welcoming us into your communities with open hearts, for giving us a chance. whether you agreed with our politics or not. every day, you have inspired us with your courage and your decency. and every day, we have tried to make you proud and live up to the standard of citizenship that you set. because we know that our words and actions are a reflection to

the world of who we are as a nation, and more importantly, our actions are a reflection of what behavior we hope our children will emulate. and we believe our responsibility to you and to this country does not end when we leave the white house. that's why barack and i have been working so hard in this election because we believe that we have a duty to ensure that this country is handed over to a leader that we all can trust. a leader who takes this job seriously. someone who is truly ready to be commander in chief on day one. we -- we deserve a leader who will ensure that our daughters are safe and respected and that our sons understand that truly strong men are compassionate and kind.

we deserve a leader who sees the dignity and humanity in all of us and who will encourage us to see the better angels in one another. we deserve a leader who sees our diversity not as a threat, but as a blessing. a leader who sees us not as rich or poor, but as hardworking folks doing the best we can with what we've got. a leader who sees us not as democrats and republicans, but as neighbors and friends who all love this country. who sees us not just as black or white, immigrant or native born, but as brothers and sisters who are all infinitely worthy. all an important part of this great american story. and i am here tonight because i believe with all my heart and soul that hillary clinton is

that leader. and we need to do everything we can to get her elected president of the united states. and here's the beauty of it all. this election is on us. it is in our hands. if we get out and vote tomorrow, hillary clinton will win. but if we stay home or we play around with a protest vote, then hillary's opponent will win, period, end of story. look, it is important to understand that presidential elections are breathtakingly close. they are decided by just 5, 10, 15 votes for precinct, so by just taking a few minutes out of your day tomorrow to cast your

vote and bringing your friends and family with you, each of you has the power to swing an entire precinct for hillary. and if we swing enough precincts, we will win this state, we will win this election, and we will continue the progress that we have all made together these past eight years. we will do this. that is the power that you have. tomorrow, with your vote, you can stand up to those who seek to divide us and make us afraid. you can declare with one voice that we are always stronger together. tomorrow, with your vote, you can say that this country has always been great. that it is the greatest nation on earth. a country where a girl like me

from the south side of chicago whose great-great grandfather was a slave can go to some of the finest universities on earth. a country where the biracial son of a single mother from hawaii and the son of a single mother from hope, arkansas, can both make it to the white house. a country where a passionate, outspoken young woman determined to do all the good she can, can go on to break the hardest, highest glass ceiling and become our president. that is the power you have and the history you can make tomorrow. but only if we get out and vote for hillary clinton. so can we count on you? can hillary count on you?

we've got to get this done! you've got to get out and vote! we can make this happen! so i now have the honor of introducing my husband to the stage. it's my chance, perhaps the last chance, i have to introduce him as president of the united states. so i just want to take a moment to publicly say how proud i am of all that he has done for this country. i am -- i'm proud not just of what he has done, but how he has done it. getting the job done in the face of unimaginable challenges, always going high when they go low. showing us all what

intelligence, dignity, and grace really look like. and never, ever compromising his values or beliefs. ladies and gentlemen, i introduce to you the love of my life, the president of the united states, barack obama. [ cheers and applause ] [ cheers and applause ] >> hello, philadelphia! are you fired up?!

are you ready to go?! thank you, michelle obama, for being my partner, my love, my rock, and an amazing first lady. eight years ago, i asked all of you to join me on an unlikely journey. we set out not just to change programs or policies, but to rebuild an economy where everyone had a chance to succeed. to reform washington, so that your voices would be more powerful than entrenched lobbyists'. we set out to keep america safe and strong, not just with the might of our arms, the

extraordinary valor of our troops, but with the power of our ideas. to shape a changing america, so that everybody belongs and everybody has a part, everybody has a responsibility. and we didn't know when we began that america would fall into the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes. but in the face of great challenges, in the face of entrenched interests, in the face of, in some cases, unprecedented obstruction and a cynical washington, we stayed with it. the american people stayed with it. and because of your resilience, because of your strength, because of your faith, we turned, yes, we can, into, yes,

we did. look at the road we've traveled. we've certain america turn recession into recovery. our businesses create 15 1/2 million new jobs, putting more people back to work than all the other advanced economies combined. a resurgent auto industry has led the fastest manufacturing growth since another clinton was president incomes are rising. poverty is falling. 20 million more americans have health insurance. we've doubled production of renewable energy to become the world leader in fighting climate change. marriage equality is finally a reality from coast to coast. we brought home more of our men and women in uniform, took out

osama bin laden, and almost every country on earth sees america as stronger and more respected today than they did eight years ago. in fact, because bill clinton is here, i did some math, a little arithmetic. under the last two republican presidents, job growth was basically flat. deficits went up. over our two democratic presidencies, job went up by more than 30 million, deficits went down, millions more americans gained health insurance. so, yes, with democrats in charge, america is stronger. those are just the facts. and with just one more day to

go, we now have the chance to elect a 45th president who will build on our progress, who will finish the job. who already has the respect of leaders around the world and the people they serve. who is smart and who is steady, and who is tested. someone who comes to this office as well-prepared as anyone who has ever run. more than me, more than bill, the next president of the united states, hillary clinton! now, i know it's been a long campaign. there's been a lot of noise and a lot of distraction. at times, it's felt more like a reality show or even a parody. but tomorrow, tomorrow,

philadelphia, the choice you face when you step into that voting booth could not be clearer and could not be more serious. on the economy, donald trump is not qualified to be our chief economist. he would trigger a reckless trade war that cost jobs, strip 20 million americans of their health insurance. roll back the new rules designed to protect consumers and roll back the regulations we put in place to preserve this planet for our kids. on foreign policy, donald trump is temperamentally unfit to be commander in chief. don't take my word for it, listen to the republicans who have refused to support him. he lacks a basic understanding of the world, justifies torture, suggesting abandoning our allies. over the weekend, his campaign

took away his twitter account. because he's erratic. if his closest advisers don't trust him to tweet, why would any of us trust him with the nuclear codes? >> more than his policies are his plans, though. throughout his campaign, donald trump has shown utter contempt for the values that make this nation great. anyone who sees women as objects, minorities and immigrants as inferior, other faiths as presumptively un-american, cannot lead this diverse dynamic big-hearted country that we love. and so all of this should give ptomorrow. enough to vote but you don't just have to vote

against someone. you have somebody extraordinary to vote for. philadelphia, you've got someone outstanding to vote for in hillary clinton. i'll be honest, i have had to bite my tongue after a lot of the nonsense i've heard people say about hillary in this election. i can only imagine what bill and chelsea, going through. the vicious, crazy attacks, the double standards applied to her. they're like nothing we've ever seen before. and what makes it worse is that most of the people saying this stuff, they don't really believe it. they know better. don't forget, when hillary was a senator, when she was my secretary of state, she was really popular. people saw how effective she was. how she crossed party lines to
