6:00 pm
mentioned her e-mail's. you did not mention she had her staff destroyed with a hammer the personal devices. if these honestly were e-mail's recorded in the fashion that you claim they are harmless, why with a debt? number to your own organization media matters' founded by george soros with of $1 million donation i would implore everybody who was watching to look at george soros stated goals for america and decide for yourself. number three talked-about the rate the victim look into that little more because you want to talk about donald trump. >> host: you put three points out there wto to the
6:01 pm
first point we don't hide the fact we are a progressive organization we are proud of that. we are george soros funded he did not founded media matters but you can look and with the e-mail san with hillary clinton did or did not do it has been litigated over andover and the fbi found no wrongdoing and i will stick with that report for closure on that issue. >> host: is support for of celery clinton st. petersburg florida. >> caller: everyone seems to be talking about bill clinton but it is hillary that is running for president when will that end?
6:02 pm
>> that is a great question. i think secretary clinton has been campaigning the reason we have heard a lot about bill clinton lady is because donald trump is in a awful position with his campaign so they have decided to launch a tabloid dumpster diving campaign to bring up the '90s and use saw him perform but is unprecedented stunt by bringing out the four women hosting face book live so if the republicans and conservatives focus on what happened in the '90s and hold silvery accountable is an unfortunate environmental one that we will deal with. >> host: supporter of donald trump. >> caller: i minnesota
6:03 pm
african-american and i am so shocked that ameritech is blind. talk about bill clinton? she knows how hillary clinton treated all of these women. she does not care about that. she is brainwashed. what it with the foundation did to haiti. 10% of the money went to haiti. nobody covers that. when you see countries like africa because the people like hillary clinton. you can say what you want but pages have a group of people trying to make money. there is no help. is the crooked group
6:04 pm
webinars -- this country is going to help. i've voted for barack obama twice and that was the biggest mistake ever. >> the clinton foundation has spent raising fax -- many for charity it was very large now it looks like they will wind that down. i don't have much more to add. >> host: must talk about your founder. >> former conservative journalist that wrote extensively about uh clinton's after words he had a transformation into progressive liberals after a book called blinded by the right he is founder and chairman of media matters. he is connected to correct
6:05 pm
the record a super pac coordinated with the clinton campaign after the census in united they could take the funds to correct a the armed record. >> is there combing the link between the two? >> know there is not. >> host: yesterday david brock was quoted as saying he would pay for the legal fees of "the apprentice" does that skew your efforts by. >> he is the chairman of a number of different groups but with media matters we are independent watchdog. he has partaking in other elector for all activity but we do not take a part of that. >> host: our guest if you want to see with the organization is about and their content what do you put on the website? >> things that happen in
6:06 pm
some ways it is what uh news media is talking about that day. between now and the end of the year the next debate, the role of fact checkers and chris wallace will probably be the hardest target he does not believe there is a role for fact checker they should not played the of referee i think the previous to disagree job during the debate to provide the fact for the media for the audience because dawn - - donald trump. looking at guns and public safety and the optics and the personal attack and more about the issues and will be
6:07 pm
pressing them to focus on the debate. >>-- supporter of pillory clinton. >> caller: i want to speak about. to be politically correct 90% of the kkk as an excuse. if you don't like hillary will not like hillary but trump is despicable. if you are not about that then you don't vote for hillary but in the '50s and the '60s i am sorry it is not like that no more.
6:08 pm
so i bought to know again. the guy that is on before about donald trump getting time because we know six months ago or three months ago they were speaking about donald trump 24/7 everything was good. none of this background toward dealing with his organization then with the allegations he has a lot of things pending with charges in the past but he cannot say something because he paid them to do that. >> i do think that donald trump did get very good coverage and the buildup as leslie mendez said he may not be good for america views damn good for cbs.
6:09 pm
that was an honest admission and in many ways because he was getting ratings to cover his rallies at higher pace and would cut into things analysts any point in the day you die you are watching of a trump proudly in the big stadium. now is of little bit of a setback he could be resident federal ticket is the media's job so i do agree with the caller. >> third party supporter good morning. >> caller: i just want to say we have to deep mayflies candidates. any other year hillary clinton would be losing terribly and unfortunately that media coverage has then replaced by us trivial.
6:10 pm
that being said, there has never been a time when we needed to hear the views of the third or fourth or fifth party candidates. that is the question is all the things being said, where is the car for each of the third-party candidates? i am concerned about energy policy which everybody should be but there is nothing in the media ever covered about that. why was there no push by a the media of the third-party candidates to even be heard at all? think the coverage of the 30 parts -- third-party candidates has spent three or 5 percent of total coverage. >> host: before we let our guest answer it:00 tonight we will feature both gary johnson and joe stein.
6:11 pm
6:12 pm

[applause] i love north carolina. i do. the people are so nice even those who did not vote for me are still vice to be. also have a number of officials better working for

6:18 pm
i want to begin by thanking everybody in north carolina for looking out for one another these past few days. zero lot of communities are dealing with terrible flooding. lives have been lost the entire country with the thought samper's with those letters still dealing with the rivers that overflying -- to overflowing we make sure the governor local and state officials it is what north carolina needs to recover and a reminder of what we do when america
6:19 pm
liches lookout for one another no matter what. when it comes to making sure that there are no politics everybody has to work out for one another. this is one of the last times i get to visit as president. it is okay i will come back more when i am not president [applause] now i will be coming for fun. but our term is coming to an end and we're already been making assure that the dogs
6:20 pm
6:21 pm
6:22 pm
6:23 pm
just another day in the campaign we were so tired of the two wars of the early days of the worst economic crisis of our lifetime. we were tackling challenges of health care and climate change that we have been putting off for a long time. and kicking the can down the road. for way too long. when we look back eight years later we have come back from recession the auto industry is setting new records businesses have turned jobs and cut the employee rate in half doubled production of clean energy, then comes are rising and poverty is falling the uninsured rate
6:24 pm
at an all-time low. across america you can marry whoever you love it. we brought troops home to the family is. to shut down the iran nuclear weapons program with the people of cuba bringing to hundred nations together to save the beautiful planet for future generations. to set the of global agenda on the challenges, and no wonder i got gray hair. we have been busy. [applause] that is why i have all this gray hair.
6:25 pm
michele says i still look good. [applause] my daughter's on the other hand, that you are dad cute. the best you can do. cute for a dad. but with all of that progress if we don't make the right choice just four weeks from today. the closer we get the clearer the choice becomes. is somebody hollering again?
6:26 pm
here is the deal. try to get your own rally. [cheers and applause] [laughter] if you cannot get your own rally then don't come to somebody else's. [applause] we have work to do. we got a choice right now between somebody who is as qualified as ever was for the office of president comment and somebody who over and over has proven himself unfit to represent this country. looks, democrats and
6:27 pm
republicans, we have always had our differences. that is the nature of democracy. nothing wrong with that. we're not running against mitt romney or john mccain me of serious disagreements on the economy and foreign policy and social issues and those were close or contested and we had debates but the truth is although obviously i believe the agenda and that we have set was the better agenda for america, i never thought they were not honorable and did not think they were in the oval office that america would spin out-of-control, i thought it was just a different political party or a different philosophy. i am being honest. with that is not the case with the current republican
6:28 pm
nominee. he doesn't have the temperament or the judgment or the knowledge nor the desire to obtain that knowledge that a president needs to have. and that was true even before we've heard about his attitudes towards women. of course, it was true when we heard him talk about minorities and people of the of muslim faith and a disabled people. but you don't have to be a husband or a father to hear what we heard just a few days ago to say that is not
6:29 pm
right. you don't have to be a decent human being to say that is not to write. if you say that is not somebody once represented the united states of america then you can do something about it north carolina. i hope that comes right away. [applause] early voting starts next thursday. you can reject that dark and pessimistic vision of where we turn against each other to turn away from our role and reject fear and blame tutus in america fall of optimism and generation - -
6:30 pm
6:31 pm
i've seen consistently and what i have seen in north carolina is what is right about people. i see people working hard. i see people start businesses and i see people teaching kids and i see people serving our country and i see folks who are doctors who are coming up with cures. i see young people all across the country with every color, background and stayed who are full of energy, ideas and are not going to be held back by what is it because they want to see what could be, what ought to be, america's of every background in every faith who believe that we are stronger together. young, old, black, white, latinos, native americans, folks with disabilities, men and women pledging allegiance to the flight. that is the america i know there's only one candidate
6:32 pm
in this race who shares those beliefs and who has devoted her life to it. a mom, grandma, who will do anything to make sure children thrive. a leader with plans to blast down barriers and breakthrough glass ceilings and widen the circle of opportunity for every american. that is the next president of the united states of america, hillary clinton [cheers & applause] >> now, if there's one thing i can tell you, greensboro, and i said this at the convention, nobody fully understands including meet the demands of this job until you have actually set behind the desk. i thought i knew, but but once you're there suddenly it is like oh. [laughter] oh. the buck stops here.
6:33 pm
so tweeting doesn't qualify. [laughter] [applause] soundbites don't qualify. insults certainly do not qualify. nobody can fully know what it is like to manage a global crisis. our know the feeling of sending a young person into war. but i tell you, nobody has been closer to those decisions than hillary. as the first later, as a senator, as my secretary of state, she knows what it means. she knows what it takes. i have seen her intelligence, adjustment, temperament, and discipline. discipline. i saw her in the situation room where she argued for the bin laden mission. i sighed in
6:34 pm
capitals around the world where she was tirelessly pursuing diplomacy that led to new partnerships, that open up new democracies. she understands the decisions you make in this job mean life or death area they affect soldiers and veterans and workers who need a good job or a race, or a decent retirement. she understands that accounts for families who are trying to climb into the middle class or stay in the middle class, and kids who are looking for a decent education. she listens to people as she keeps her cool. [applause] she treats everybody with respect. no matter how daunting the odds, or how many time she gets knocked down she does not point fingers are complains that everything is rigged, doesn't work out the way you wanted to. she doesn't check her mike, she just worries about getting up and working harder and she doesn't quit. [applause] that is the hillary i know, that is the hillary i admire, that is
6:35 pm
why i believe that she is more qualified to be president of the united states of america! [cheers & applause] and she has real plans to address the real concern that you have heard on the campaign trail. you watch these debates and everybody is like all the commentators afterwards are like she was really may be explaining some stuff in great detail in contrast to the other candidate. that is because she actually knows what she's talking about. [applause] which is helpful when you are president of the united states, to know what you're talking about! [applause] , on, people. come on. this is not an audition some
6:36 pm
show. [laughter] this is not a show. she has specific ideas to invest in jobs, to help workers share in the company's profits.'s profits. to put more young people and children in preschool. to make sure that students get through college without taking on a ton of debts. she is actually sweating the details. she cares about this stuff. i remember five years ago i asked every cabinet secretary to give me new ideas for ways to get our economy creating jobs faster. at that point republicans were in charge of congress and were not passing legislation. we are trying to think creatively why can we without having congress do anything. hillary sent a 12 page, single spaced memo with footnotes. i was like lord,. [laughter]
6:37 pm
i had to do my homework. but that is who she is. that is what she spent her life doing, fighting for every child in every family. not just popping off, but working. [applause] by the way, debra ross will do the same thing when you elect heard to be your next senator. [applause] she is a worker. she has heard your story. she is going to fight to make sure working families have a fair shot. that shot. that our kids have a world-class education. that seniors have a secure retirement they have earned. unlike her opponent, she certainly is not going to keep standing with donald trump. let me just -- i need to say
6:38 pm
something. somebody's yelling at me again. [inaudible] thank you. he was okay. he's okay. you know what? this is democracy at work. this is great. hold up. hold up a second. i heard some people booing, don't blue, because it doesn't really matter if some young man just runs across think it's is five seconds of fame, what
6:39 pm
matters -- by, i'll get back to that later, i have another i have another thing i want to talk about. let me just say this, i do not believe that every republican elected official thinks the way donald trump does. i think many of them do not. hold on a second. let me get my point now. it's good having a -- but you have to wait before i make my point before you hype it. the overwhelming majority of republicans, they love their families, they love this country, they are good and decent people doing all kinds of good things. but what is true is that over
6:40 pm
6:41 pm
again so that your only agenda is negative. and you just make up facts. so if 99% of scientists say the planet is getting warmer and you should worry about it, and then you bring a snowball into the senate chambers and say it was snowing outside so you must be wrong. using that as evidence to dispute the scientists. that over time what happens is that you produced a nominee who is all about obstruction, insult, and makes up his own facts. i do not think that is the
6:42 pm
majority of republicans think, but this is the habit that you get into that creates this kind of nominee. now you find a situation in which the guy says stuff that nobody would find tolerable if they were applying for a job at 711. or or, i don't know what jobs if you are trying to that to someone for a job and you heard what somebody said on tape about one in, set aside what their saying, would you hire that person for that job? and the facts that now you have people saying well, we strongly disapprove, we really disagree,
6:43 pm
we find those comments discussing, but we are still endorsing him. we still think he should be president. that doesn't make sense to me. now, i hear than some people saying well, i'm a christian and so i am all about forgiveness because nobody's perfect. while that is true. i am certainly not perfect, nobody's perfect, and i to believe in forgiveness and redemption, but that doesn't mean i'm going to like the person presidents. [applause] you know, if somebody something terrible or shows themselves to be unqualified for an office, i
6:44 pm
can forgive them i suppose if they are sincere about it but i don't want to necessarily have them leave my country, right? so you cannot have it both ways here. you cannot repeatedly denounce what is said by someone and then say but i'm still going to endorse him to be the most powerful person on the planet and to put them in charge. so i just want to make that point, because there are still a number of republican elected officials, some of whom i know and i'm sure are embarrassed and said well that was a terrible thing he said, but they cannot bring themselves to say i can't endorse the sky. and by the way, why did it take so long for some of them to finally walk away.
6:45 pm
we saw this coming. [applause] he's been saying really bad stuff for a while now. what did you think he's just gonna transform himself? i mean i am 55 and it is hard for me to change, i know it it 70 is going to be harder. anyway, i wanted to make that point. let me get back on script here so setting aside character issues and what he said, he calls himself the best business guy who ever lived. but we have a lot of businessmen and women around the country who succeeded
6:46 pm
without hiding their tax returns. [applause] warned buffett is a pretty good businessman, he just he just put out his tax return. i also don't know a lot of casino operators who managed to lose almost $1 billion in one year. [applause] they said the house always wins, i don't know what happened. [applause] i do not know folks who use that failure than to avoid paying federal income taxes for troops and our veterans, roads, and her schools. you do not brag about not paying your taxes. you don't say that makes your smart, no, that means you are not a responsible citizen because those taxes are used to make sure that our veterans get the care they need, or our roads get rebuilt, or our students are able to get the support they need to get an education. [applause] when i hear somebody say they
6:47 pm
were rooting for the housing crisis because that is called business, or file bankruptcy six times which led him get out of pain what he'll small businesses and their workers, when your concern is not for the families face and the hardship of foreclosure or the small businesses and communities that depend on the, but rather how you might get over and make a buck off of it, then okay, you know what? maybe that is your kind of business, but that that is not the spirit you bring to the highest office in the land. you should not be president of the united states. and a guy who spent 70 years on this earth showing no regard to working people is not going to suddenly be the champion of working people. [applause] if you want a leader who actually values hard work and
6:48 pm
values working americans, if you want higher wages and better benefits and a fair tax code, it an equal pay for equal work for women, and stronger regulations on wall street, then then you have to vote for hillary and -- that's what i'm talking about. [cheers & applause] >> if you're concerned about who is going to keep you and your family safe in a dangerous world, the choices even clearer. hillary has worked closely with our intelligence team and our diplomats, and our military. she will see to it that our troops finish the job defeating isis. she will do it without resorting to torture, or to torture, or banning entire religions from our country. she has the temperament, she has the knowledge to be the next commander-in-chief.
6:49 pm
[applause] then he have the guy who insults pows and a gold star mom and calls our troops and veterans a week. he doesn't know apparently the men and women in uniform who make us strong. [applause] and encloses it to dictators. tells her allies that we might not be on their side unless they pay up first. let, he may not make good on his promises but the united states of america has to make good on ours. he might be up at 3:00 a.m. but that's because he is tweeting insults and somebody who got under his skin instead of getting a decent nights sleep so he can be read in the morning to do the job of being president of the united states. [applause]
6:50 pm
he is not fit to be commander-in-chief. and he certainly is not fit to lead the world's greatest democracy. let me say this, and this is been remarked about in this is serious business. when in the middle of a debate you threaten to put your political opponent in jail, no trial, no indictment, no lawyers, just -- when you welcome russians meddling in our electoral process, then you are disregarding not just things like facts and evidence, or free press, but you're chipping away at basic values like tolerance, due process, mutual respect in
6:51 pm
our democracy doesn't work that way. there are other nations around the world who operate like that. their political systems operate like that. and those nations breakdown. we have stood in contrast in opposition to those kinds of ideas. i frankly never thought i would see the day went we had a major party candidate who would be promoting those kinds of notions. greensboro, one thing i have learned these past eight years is that progress is hard. you have to battle it out. even when we get victories like obama care, they are never perfect and you have to keep on working to make them better. when you take two steps forward on something like climate change there will be folks who push back and it's okay because
6:52 pm
that's the price of the democracy if you don't get 100%% of what you want 100% of the time. democracy is not easy, especially not in a big, diverse country like this. you have to work at it. there is it. there's only one candidate in this race who understands that democracy and a big diverse country doesn't work if you constantly demonize each other. and i mean that literally by the way. there's a guy on the radio and he said me and hillary are demons. said we smell like sulfur, event something. [laughter] now, i mean, come on people.
6:53 pm
democracy does not work if you just say stuff like that. apparently there are people who believe that stuff and they are listening to it constantly. you cannot have leaders who are promoting that. what happens then is we get so divided and people are so angry at each other then nothing gets done. and hillary understands that. she understands that our most big issues it is not always simple black and white. getting done means compromise, even when you think you are 100% right. she knows for progress to happen we have to listen to each other and see each other. we have to fight for our principles that we also have to fight to find common ground. she believes that we can and
6:54 pm
should conduct ourselves better. that's not always fleshy. it it does not always attract headlines. our politics does not always make that easy. we want progress right away, our way, someone is getting in her way we start calling them names in the press finds it attractive to promote conflict and that's the fleshly headline. but i promise, here's the thing, if we are willing to work out progress does happen. if you don't believe that ask the 20,000,000 more americans have health care today that didn't have it before. [applause] asked the marines who proudly serve the country without having to hide the husband that appeared to see young people who have more pell grants and help to get a college education. [applause] change takes time but change is
6:55 pm
possible. here is the last thing, it doesn't just depend on one person, it depends on all of us. i especially want to talk to the young people here for a minute. [applause] you have been through a lot in your young lives, you have grown up through wars and you have grown up the recession. you have grown up through all kinds of incredible changes. it was just a little bit ago that there is no such thing as a smart phone. which i know, it seems insane to you, but it is true. we survived without them. so things have been happening fast. but what i have seen from young people is that you care about looking out for each other not
6:56 pm
turning on each other. the young people i meet are more tolerant, more sophisticated more interested in the world, you want to be active and engaged in the work of creating a vibrant and innovative, inclusive, and mobile society in a democracy that works. when i meet young people, strangers strangers the scenes, i see the values that my mom, and my grandparents try to instill in me. decent, honest, honest, hard-working, civil, courteous, polite, yes ma'am, no ma'am, how can i help you ma'am, i see those values in this next generation. those values are not old-fashioned. when i see people who say they are conservatives well, my
6:57 pm
grandparents were kind of conservative. but to them that meant that you acted right it meant you had good home training. admit you did not say crude things just to get attention. and i think most young people understand that. they understand those values that are timeless. they are not even democrat or republican, they are american values that bind us together as a country. so there are a lot of things about our politics we can sometimes seem cheap, trivial, and, trivial, and frustrating. i know. i have seen it. but here is a chance to reject a mean-spirited politics that will
6:58 pm
just take us backwards. there is nothing cheaper trivial about that. about making that statement, the chance to elect a woman who spent her entire life trying to make this country better. that is real. [applause] that is true. in young people, you have a chance to do that, so do not fall for the easy senate is on that says my vote doesn't matter or all politicians are the same, because that is exactly what hillary's opponent wants you to think so you do not vote. i promise you, your boat matters, read up on your history. you just heard from judge -- there is a time here in north carolina and look, that judge, he looks good. i mean he was right there before
6:59 pm
you young people and he could not vote. there is a time when folks had to guess the number of jellybeans in a jar, the number of bubbles on a bar of soap, it wasn't that long ago were -- to register voters in mississippi. it wasn't that long ago that a man like justice fry who had already graduated college was denied the right to vote because he failed the so-called literacy tests. that just happened and the reason a change is because young people said it's going to change. [applause] and folks risked everything so that we can pull that lever. freedom so that people could have the right to vote. [applause] whatever the issue you care about, the choice cannot be clearer. if you care about inequality, if you supported bernie in the primaries. [applause] , you have a choice. you can vote for somebody his economic
7:00 pm
policies are driven solely by greed and self-interest, or you can vote first someone who is going to make sure our economy works for everybody. who will make sure minimum wage workers get a rates and women get paid the same as men for doing the same job. [applause] if you care about criminal justice reform, you can vote for somebody who has fought against civil rights any inequality or you can vote for somebody who started her career going undercover from school to school to make sure my nordic kids were getting an equal shot at a good education and who has not stopped fighting for justice and equality. if you care about the environment and climate change. you can vote for somebody who says that the chinese plot. and put the climate deniers in charge of hiring folks at the epa, you can vote for somebody who believes in
