depleted military so that our people in the military can have the kind of equipment that they deserve. [applause] we are going to work with our veterans because our veterans in many cases are treated far worse than illegal immigrants coming into the country. we are going to help our veterans. we are going to help our veterans and help them bigley. they know my plan has been posted and i have tremendous veteran support. they are not there to be waiting on line for nine days in seven days in six days and people dying because they can't see a doctor quickly enough for a simple procedure or for simple prescription so we are going to fix that and you all know what we are doing. if you have that kind of a

weight you are going outside of your private dr. across the street or you are going to a private or public hospital we will pay the bill that you are not going to be dying in our country, not our veterans. you are not going to be dying waiting on line for seven days, nine days in 10 days. we are going to stop drugs from pouring into our country. [applause] i.c.e. endorsed us just last week. the border patrol agents, 16,500 and i.c.e. so we have i.c.e. and we have border patrol. the first time either one has ever endorsed a presidential candidate. we are going to stop and i promise this to the people of new hampshire because new hampshire has a tremendous heroin problem. we are going to stop drugs from pouring in to our country and

poisoning our youth. we are going to stop it. we are going to stop it. and we are going to stop people from coming into our country illegally but we are going to have a big year for full door in our wall and that door is going to let lots of people and that they are coming into our country illegally. [applause] legally. we are going to protect your 2nd amendment which is under siege. [applause] the national rifle association endorsed donald trump. and it's the earliest endorsement they have ever given to a candidate which i am proud of. these are great people. these are great americans and they are doing the right thing so your second amendment under siege.

if hillary gets in, forget it, forget it. we will protect your 2nd amendment. importantly, importantly. so importantly, i told you about obamacare. forget it, it's gone but so importantly we are going to appoint justices to the united states supreme court that you will be proud of. [applause] the constitution. we are going to be upholding in respecting our constitution. so i just want to say this. when you look back, and we all had a good time even though your speakers were no good in your teleprompters were no good. we had a good day. you are going to look back this evening and say hey i had a good time that you were going to go

home and in 15 years and in 25 years, hopefully for longer than that you are going to look back and say this was a very important evening in your life. more importantly, i love those signs women for trump. [applause] i actually think i'm doing well with women. [applause] they may have the worst seats that they will be the most famous people. so more importantly, you were going to view your vote on november 8 to be the most important "that you have ever cast. because we are going to take back the white house.

[applause] we are going to have a country that you are going to be so proud of again. we are going to have a country that works. you notice we don't win anymore folks. when was the last time we won? we had iran yipping at a sunni look at what's going on, we can't. isis. i always say george patton, i was a fan. today he could make it because he wasn't politically correct. he was a little on the rough side, right? but george patton, general douglas macarthur, these people are spinning in their graves right now and for the military people, for the military people, the element of surprise, nobody likes the element of surprise. so i hear, who knows what we hear is a lot of the leaders of the isis, and been hearing that

for a while. three weeks ago i stopped hearing that we through iraq, we are going to attack mosul. we are going to attack them sometime in the next few months. we are going to hit them hard, left, right, back, forward. yes sir we are going to attack them. there's only one problem. by the time we attack all the guys, how are the people that run our country? [applause] why couldn't they keep it quiet? why couldn't they keep it quiet? knock the hell out of them.

grab them all and announce a week later to the american people that we have gotten the bad ones. the bad ones are gone, folks. they are someplace else. that's for the military people. they understand that better than anybody. am i right? do you think general george patton if he were in charge and by the way i have over 200 admirals and generals supporting donald trump and endorsing donald trump. [applause] i have 21 recipients of the medal of honor that have endorsed donald trump so they like my attitude. they like actually my knowledge. people were surprised the other night and by the way totally totally annihilated them. [applause] totally. remember when she came in front of me? she walked right in front of me.

i said hi hillary. remember she walked in front of me and answer the question, which is fine. i have no problem with that. the next day they put out something, i invaded her space while of the stage. did you see that? i am standing, here's my lectern oh no using my lectern and i'm standing there and we are bantering in this and that. it was 3-1 you know, anderson cooper and martha raddatz. i don't think she likes me too much. but ahead 3-1. i said what is this, 3-1? hillary came in and she walked right in front of me. i was at my chair. i was at my lectern standing there. the reason is i didn't want to be scolded for that and sure as hell the next day, he violated

hillary's space or to put it another way he violated the space of crooked hillary. so anyway, but she is home now prepping so we will see what happens. but when i saw this whole thing, day after day we are attacking mosul, in two weeks, three weeks all they know is that it has happened. what the hell are we doing? so we are going to have a country run smart. we won't be giving $150 billion to a terrorist bank. we will be looking at debt deal so closely inside out and backwards and if they are not living up in the hardest part for me as is we are giving them so much money already. i liked it much more before we gave them all that money that they don't honor that deal in

every single little line, every single little word, we are going to rip that up so fast your head will spin. [applause] is one of the most incompetent deals i have ever seen in my life. i'm not talking about nation to nation. secretary kerry never stood up and said we are walking and if he did he could have made a much better deal. i'll mind making deals. don't forget obama thinks global warming is her biggest threat. i happen to think it's nuclear warming. our biggest threat is nuclear and it's not coble warming, its nuclear warming and i will tell you why. we are going to work very hard on that situation because that situation is getting more and more and more out of control and hillary talks tough about russia she talks tough about a lot of things.

she has no clue. she talked tough about libya and look what happened there. she is unfit to be president because she has such bad judgment. bernie sanders says she has bad judgment and i said thank you bernie i'm going to be using that for six months after they take -- look what happened with wikileaks. they took the election away from the guy. how can he be supporting us? they took that election away. it was a rigged system. the whole system was rigged and that's why when the media does what they are doing now that's rigging the system. it's rigging the system. the election is rigged. is rigged to like you have never seen before. they are rigging the system. these are very dishonest people. so folks, i love the people from north carolina. i will be back here a lot over the next 25 days.

can you believe that? [applause] but you have got to get out and you've got to get out and vote. you have got to get out and vote because we are going to make our country strong again. we are going to make ours country rich again. we are going to make our country smart again. we are going to be a smart country again and what else are we going to do? we are going to make our country great again. thank you very much. god was to everybody. thank you. [applause] thank you very much.

[applause] >> donald trump there in north carolina. tomorrow we will bring you more live coverage from the road to the white house where donald trump will be in portsmouth new hampshire. you can join us on c-span at noon eastern time and for hillary clinton no campaign events over the past couple of days. we possibly could see some early next week the mountebank and firm. right now we want to take your phonecalls and get your opinion from what you heard from donald trump tonight in the numbers to call for republicans to 027488 921 democrats (202)748-8920 and independents and all the others (202)748-8922 we will get right to your phonecalls. mary is first on the line from cooper colorado. >> caller: i appreciate you

taking my call. let me tell you, i have been so upset over this election. for one thing i feel that hillary clinton started out with a smear campaign. she has kept it going. i am very concerned about our economy. i am concerned about the borders. i am concerned about what's happening in this world and i do want to also mention i feel barack obama needs to get back in the white house and quit campaigning. we are getting bombed over in the iran area and he is running around campaigning. what kind of president is that? i'm sorry but i also am upset with michelle obama.

she might be a good speaker but this is a woman who has spent $500,000 of our money to go on a trip to spain with her daughters i don't appreciate that. i am totally upset. i do want to say to the american women, don't believe everything you hear. i am kind of wondering if anderson cooper didn't get some of those questions and hear hillary is on ellen degeneres. hollywood makes worse movies. >> host: the democrats wesley is calling from beaumont california. wesley, go ahead. >> thank you i would like to say first of all i've never seen a candidate go off track as much is as this guy. he just wanders from one conversation to the next back to the conversation.

>> it looked like his teleprompter was not working. is that something you've seen tonight or other times? >> caller: who else is he not going to pay? everybody or is he just not going to pay and if he wants to put hillary in jail who is next? me, my family? that's kind of like a dictatorship. i would just like to say donald trump never told me any issues that he is going to fix with a program other than i will fix this. >> host: thank you and also for your call. the beginning we were just talking, donald trump's teleprompter was a working and he pushes off the stage. also earlier bringing out a number of women. a tweet from npr showing the bus , women for trump. that happened early on before donald trump came out to talk to the crowd. donald trump bringing a number of supporters onto the stage to

talk on his behalf. calabasas california and independent line, shauna. shonta what did you think about donald trump's event tonight? >> i missed most of it. i came in on and that i am a registered independent. after what i have seen with what the press has been doing with the clinton cartel has been doing and just how we are up against, i am now in for trump. i'm 100% in for trump. i don't think all these women that have been doing this are actually believable and you can even look back at the last debate that he had with hillary. even anderson cooper and those whose were like very angry about how they asked and how they pushed donald trump and when

anderson cooper kept saying well you know have you done it, have you done that? that was a set up and they already had all these girls ready to go to come out with these stories about trump. this is just an attack and this isn't right. what's happening is obama and the clinton cartel are all getting together with the media and they're all trying to take trump down. this is the scariest thing i have ever seen happen and i swear to god i am scared to death of what is happening. look at europe, look at what's happening in europe, in the middle east, in our own country and obama has these 50% positive ratings? it's like wake up, people. >> host: shown about the ketchup. we are going to get to more

callers and most of ashok also show this article from "the new york times". not only a number of media outlets and whatnot as you say coming after trump to this showing that actually some of the big donors are urging the republican national committee to cut ties with donald trump saying several of the republican party general donors calling on the rnc to disavow donald trump saying that allegations made by multiple women at mr. trump as growth or made inappropriate sexual offenses toward them inflict damage on the parties image. here's another colin the republican line, janet. where are you calling from? >> caller: i'm calling from redding california. and the lady from calabasas, bravo because i used to live there. if anybody does their brains to figure out what the clintons have done and i'm so sick and

tired of barack obama professing to be the first black president. excuse me, when will he acknowledge, and his wife i saw her speech. bravo for her. she came from a high-class. she got to go to brown university. she didn't grow up or like a lot of us like myself and had to work our way through in order to be a very impressive person and able to make a wonderful income. so i'm just saying the president is a loser across the united states. hillary clinton is just nothing but the biggest liar. i would love to see her daughter and her grandkids to see what she thinks about that. >> host: the independent line greenville north carolina. hi david what are your thoughts about what you heard from donald trump tonight? >> caller: i think he did an excellent presentation.

i think is one of the best candidates we could have right now running for office. i was a ron paul supporter in 2012. i saw him get beat by the rnc. it was very clear and i believe we are living under sovereignty right now. the word inclusion, collusion with the media cartel and if we don't stop this right now we will lose our country. >> host: david you are voting for donald trump? >> caller: that's correct. >> host: thanks for the call. richmond north carolina, republican mark. hi mark. >> caller: good evening. i would like to thank mr. trump for putting himself through the wringer and running in this campaign. i'm old. i have seen a lot of elections. this is the first time that i have ever been afraid. i have children.

i have daughters, i have grandkids. if mrs. clinton gets in it's going to be many years if ever the united states stands back up on its feet. it seems like the clintons and the obama's are trying to make the country instead of the noaa or chocolate, a nice homogenous pan or something. there is no country. it's very scary. >> host: let me say this tweet from rebecca, a reporter on something that donald trump said earlier. if we don't win on november 8 he said it will be the greatest waste of time. as you were saying you use this as an undertaking of his. he did mention that himself during his remarks in north

carolina tonight. christopher, rocky point new york, democrat. what do you think? >> caller: wow. it's so much to get ahold of here but first of all i just like to say everybody please stop conspiracy theories. the man's own words have brought this upon himself. everything he said he did, once at the debate he said he never did any of that stuff and i brought it all out. be realistic here. enough of the personal bias against hillary. she is the most well qualified in my lifetime and i have never honestly -- candidates over the years i've said this one is not too bright in this one is a little off but this man is terrifying, absolutely terrifying. the parallels in history, we have seen this before. we have seen it before and we are not learning from our history. this man is dangerous and i fear

in a way i never thought possible. the man gives me stomach aches it so bad but i hope everybody will come to grips. the man has never shown empathy. i'm not sure he's capable of it and i just hope that people realize that hillary will do right by us. >> host: thanks for the call christopher. independent line, john calling from north versailles. jen, go ahead. >> caller: i totally disagree. i think i'll hillary has done is liar to us and has not been honest in anything she or her husband has ever done and i abandoned independent voter. i voted for ron paul in the last primary but the things that she has lied about in court say that she should never, ever be allowed to be held accountable

to run for office. trump, i will vote for him. i would vote for anyone other than her because i think it's just putting evil into somebody's hands. >> host: the democrats line, brooksville florida. gary is on the line. >> caller: hi, how are you doing? >> host: good gary, thanks. >> caller: everybody's looking at this e-mail. e-mails are bad, very bad but then they are looking at these allegations. they are looking at what's going on over in yemen. we gave up $1.5 billion to country to send a destroyer that sent shots into gamman. that's what they should be looking at. donald trump has about him. united states right now doesn't have a backbone to stand on and that's why these countries are walking on top of us. i'm a democrat. i am 60 years old now.

i've been made democrat since high school. i'm voting for donald trump because he got back bone. i don't care about what happened to him 30 years ago back when he was a multibillionaire. that happens. >> host: sorry, you off their gary. also to remind people if you did know we were going to be going on the road to the white house following trump tomorrow. he will be in portsmouth new hampshire. we will have coverage over on c-span at noon eastern time and again no recent events with hillary clinton that we can bring you. possibly something from our next week with nothing confirmed there. charlie is calling ogallala florida, republicans. charlie, what are your thoughts? >> caller: i'm calling from ocala florida. >> host: ocala, sorry. >> caller: thank you for taking my call. i'm very disappointed in my governor.

mr. trump represents everything that a catalyst is looking for. we need to catalyst in office, somebody who knows how to spur the economy. i run a business in florida. i'm very centric that i'm making sure that my business thrives and is able to survive. mr. obama is not a businessman. mr. obama is a cultured differently around the economy. he's a socialist and that does not create a strong marketplace. that's what mr. trump brings to the plate. he knows how the marketplace survives. i'm very, very much in support of mr. trump. i am deplorable at the most centric level because i believe this country needs to be taken back from a socialist communist that try to take over country and if you go back to the 60s and you see what hillary did you will see the direction she wants to take the country. she is very, very bad for our country.

everybody wants to stay on free and, they to stay on free housing. i don't want to work. they want to be a parasite on our economy. i want somebody who wants to spur our economy and that's what i look forward to it with the term presidency. >> host: thanks for your called charlie. "the hill" newspaper reporting the campaign in new hampshire polls showing that trump is narrowing hillary clinton's lead their. the mass inc. polling group wbr giving -- a margin of error of 4.4 percentage points. this same poll has the democratic nominee leading by seven points last month. their something popping appear on my screen that will go back to your calls now and leave the computer. kevin, avon park florida, democrats line. >> how are you doing tonight? >> host: pretty good kevin.

how are you? >> caller: very good, thank you. like to mention the time that the clintons were in office people forget that bill clinton did sign nafta that took our jobs away. >> host: so you are supporting donald trump? >> caller: i'm going for mr. trump this time. he does have about him, yes. >> host: who did you vote for last election? >> caller: honestly i went for obama but i was always hoping for change and never came. i really really come of this country gone in the wrong direction. it's like today we are being bombed overseas. one of our naval ships. things aren't right. we can't go down this road anymore. >> host: thanks for the call justin. one more call. we have just been calling,

amarillo texas on the independent line. justin you have the last word tonight. >> caller: yes, i would just like to say that the selection is very scary. i mean hillary clinton has lied over and over and donald trump is a misogynist. i just would like to pray for america. >> thanks for the call and thanks robo-calls tonight. we will have the phones open on "washington journal" tomorrow. join us on c-span at 7:00 a.m. eastern in just a reminder we will be hearing more from donald trump slide coverage from portsmouth new hampshire and i will be at noon eastern time over on c-span. earlier today we heard more from the road to the white house. president obama campaigning on behalf of hillary clinton in cleveland ohio and here's a campaign stop.

[applause] [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] [applause] [applause] >> hello zero ohio.

hello, ohio. [applause] thank you. thank you so much. hello, cleveland. [cheers and applause] i love you back. i do, i do. the head of the airport here pointed out that in 2012, one of our last rallies was right here. [applause] some of you might have been there. i have got to say, it's an amazing rally and everybody was so enthusiastic and it was a beautiful, so fired up. but the one thing i have got to say since i've been in cleveland this time it seems like there's

extra temperatures set. [applause] i don't know what happened exactly. i don't know whether, did something happen here in cleveland? [cheers and applause] did lebron have something to do with it? [cheers and applause] congratulations everybody. [applause] [laughter] can everybody please give jackie a big round of applause? for her service to our country. we have the best standing member of the congress here. marcia fudges in the house.

marcy kaptur is here. your outstanding mayor frank jackson is here. [applause] and although he is campaigning elsewhere in the state i want to make sure we give a shout-out to your former governor and the next united states senator from ohio, hillary clinton. [cheers and applause] i know, i love you back but think you. thank you. this will probably be one last time that i'm in cleveland as your president. i'm going to come back to cleveland. but, understand michelle and i are leaving. we have been here for a gear so now we are making sure we didn't

bring any china, making sure that bo and sonny haven't ruined too many carpets. we want to get our security deposit back if we are so grateful and so blessed to have had all the supporter for these ears. it's been a great privilege and i remember when we were campaigning here on that day. we were in the midst of two long wars putting an enormous word on our military families. we were in the early days of what would turn out to be the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes. you had all kinds of challenges and health care, climate change where we weren't even pretending to do something about it. we were just kicking the can down the road. and i told you then eight years ago that i wasn't a perfect

person and i wasn't going to be a perfect precedent, but what i guaranteed you was that i would work every single day as hard as i could to make sure the working families all across this country got a better deal. [applause] and you gave me the honor of serving you and eight years later we have fought our way back from recession. we have helped our auto industries make new records in our businesses with 15 million new jobs. come on young man, don't be interrupting everybody, come on. come on, everybody.

let's do our little chance. hillary, hillary. [chanting] hillary, hillary, hillary. all right, i think we are okay now. i know that this has been happening everywhere and i keep on telling folks you've got to organize your own rallies. if you are confident about the other guy, just go to his rally. [applause] i feel confident about my candidate. that's why i am at this rally. so you don't have to spend time over here.

go knock on some doors for your guy. [applause] that's a better way for you to spend your time unless you are just being paid to be here. in which case hey everybody's got to make a living. where was i? so, eight years ago we were in a tough situation but because of your resilience, because of your faith in each other, in this country, we have slashed our unemployment rate in half. incomes are rising again. incomes went up last year by the largest amount that has ever been measured. poverty is falling. in fact last year poverty went down faster than at any time since 1968.

[applause] 20 million people lacked health insurance who didn't have it before. [applause] we brought more power brave men and women home to their families. we deliver justice to osama bin ladin. by almost every measure, our economy is better than it was when we came into office and that's not just true across the country. it's true right here in ohio. just look at the auto industry that was flat on its back when we came into office and now it's selling the best cars in the world and is doing as well or better than ever before. [applause] and that means there are hundreds of thousands of folks here in ohio that have benefited. we have been busy but i'm here

to tell you, do you want me to tell you? [applause] i'm here to tell you that all the progress goes out the window if we don't make the right choice right now. [applause] and it shouldn't be a complicated choice because it's a choice between somebody who is as qualified as anybody who has ever run for this office. and somebody who has proven himself unfit to lead or represent this country that we love. and i have said before. democrats and republicans have always had their differences and that's a good thing. that is how democracy is supposed to work. when i was running against john mccain, when i was running against mitt romney we had serious disagreements and

debates about economic policies, foreign policy and social policy and those elections were close, and i thought i had the better argument and i'd be the better president. [applause] but i could have seen either one of them serving honorably, not embarrassing us on the world stage. they would have engaged in legitimate debates and normal democratic processes. but that's not the case with today's republican nominee. he doesn't have the temperament come he doesn't have the knowledge and he doesn't seem to have the interest in acquiring the knowledge or the basic honesty that a president needs to have. that was true before we heard him talking about how he treats

women. [applause] and don't boo, what do i say? don't boo, vote. and by the way that was true when he talked about how muslims are unpatriotic or when he talked about how mexicans were or when they made fun of somebody who is disabled or very talked about our veterans and our troops and their old star moms. you don't have to be a husband or a father to know that that kind of language, that kind of talk, those kinds of actions are unacceptable. they are not right. you just have to be a decent human being and for those of you who didn't have a chance to hear michelle yesterday. [cheers and applause] talk about what it meant to her,

i could not be prouder of her. [applause] i said yesterday this is why i married her, to improve my gene pool so my daughters would be smarter than me. but she was sticking up for women, yes she was thinking about the lessons for teaching the next generation. she was also talking on behalf of men who know we are better than that. who don't want to teach our sons the kinds of things that we have been hearing on television that belief one of the measures of any society is how does the treated women, how does a treat it girls? are you treating them with respect and dignity and equality

and if you believe that we are better than what we have been hearing, the good news is that she pointed out yesterday, there is something we can do about it. right here in ohio, a battleground state. ohio is always close so you can vote early right now. [cheers and applause] early voting started on wednesday. and i know everybody here is early voting because otherwise you wouldn't be here. if you stood in line to get into this rally and you've got enough sense to go early vote. for those of you who may not be here, you don't even know if you're registered you need to go to ohio vote.com/located and you can find the early voting site nearest you or request a mail-in ballot.

i'm going to repeat that web site i will vote.com/located. it's not an infomercial. this is an opportunity for you to exercise your right to vote, your civic responsibility asking for citizenship. he don't need to wait until election day. you have the chance to reject a darkened pessimistic vision of a country where we turn against each other or we turn away from our role in the world peak in reject a policy and resent and blame and anger and hate. you can choose the america we know ourselves a country full of courage and optimism, country full of generosity and ingenuity we have got real challenges.

when i ran a years ago i said we are not going to solve everything with one presidency. we have got real challenges. their folks that are still struggling to pay the bills and student still trying to figure out how to pay off student loans debts. their parents were still concerned about whether they would be able to keep their home everybody is worried about a better life. all across the country people are concerned about the possibility of increased racial division. pockets of ohio and pockets of america that despite the progress we have made that haven't recovered from factory closings. there are young people who are worried about whether they will have the same opportunities that we have happened i will tell you this. i've traveled all 50 states. i have talked hundreds of thousands of people and what

i've seen more than anything else, everything is good about america. everything is right about america. i've seen people working hard. i have seen teachers teaching kids, taking money out of their own pockets to make sure that they have school supplies. i have seen doctors who are out there serving the indigent and the poor making sure they have health care. i have seen our men and women in uniform who make sure we are safe. i've seen police officers and law enforcement and first responders who run into danger and then run away from it. i have seen young activists who call on us to live up to our highest ideals. i have seen a young generation that is full of energy and ideas and it's not going to be held back by what is right now but is going to seize what ought to be.

i have seen most of all americans of every party background, every faith who believe that we are stronger together, gone, old, black, white, latino, asian and native american, folks with disabilities all of us pledging allegiance to that same prospect that is the america that we now and there's only one candidate in this race who has devoted her life to that vision of a better america and that is the next president of the united states, hillary clinton. [cheers and applause] her opponents made it. clear he is going to drive this election as low as it can possibly go and he figures if he makes our politics -- maybe you'll figure out you have no good choices and you'll just get discouraged and he just won't vote.

i'm telling you right now hillary is one of the smartest, toughest test prepared most experienced persons ever to run for this job. [applause] you know there is nothing that completely compare -- prepares you for what it's like to send a young person to war but hillary has been in a room with those decisions made. she has been a first lady. she has been a senator. she has been my secretary of state and in each and every job she has worked tirelessly and diligently and she has listened to the american people. she has done her homework. she has performed. she knows what that decisions that a president makes mean concretely for a soldier or a veteran, for worker who is still looking for a good job or a raise or needs retirement. even the middle of a crisis she

keeps her cool and she pays everybody the proper respect. most importantly no matter how tough the outcome and no matter how much people try to talk her down, she doesn't point fingers or wine. she doesn't talk about how everything is rigged. she just works harder and gets the job done and never, ever quits. she doesn't quit and she doesn't make excuses. [applause] and by the way is not what you want for president? [applause] i noticed her opponent, he seems to be in the middle of the game making excuses all the time for why he might be losing and it's always interesting to me is to see folks talk tough but they

don't ask tough. because if you are tough you don't start complaining about the refs before the game is even done. you just play the game. that's what hillary clinton is doing. she is out there playing the game. she is in the arena for you fighting every single day to make sure that everybody gets a fair shake. that's what she is doing. [applause] there is not a person out there who has been more qualified to serve as our president and that includes me and that includes bill. and she is going to be great at it. she has got real plans to address the things she has heard from you, specific ideas to help workers share with, specific ideas to make sure fewer jobs

move overseas and to make sure jobs come back and places that have been abandoned. putting kids in preschool, putting students for college without taking on a ton of debt. [applause] you know her opponent may be getting headlines for picking fights with everybody in his own party because of stories he doesn't like. meanwhile do you know what hillary has been doing? she's talking about what we need to do to fight climate change. she has put forward a child tax credit that would help millions of families. she wasn't complaining or whining or fighting. she was just doing the work and that is what you want from a president, somebody who is going to sit there and do the work for you. [applause]

her opponent doesn't make specific plans. if you asked his opponents right now, if u.s. supporters right now it would be hard for them to describe what exactly they were going to do. he said he's great at making deals but as i pointed out i don't know a lot of people who operate a casino and managed to lose off billion dollars in one year. you know usually the house once. you know that saying, the house always wins? i love come he owns the house and he loses a billion dollars. i don't know a lot of successful as this people who just use up up -- use losing a billion dollars to avoid paying an income tax. he says it makes him smart. all it does is it means he is not doing what all of us as

citizens should be doing which is giving back to our troops and our veterans and our roads and our schools and making sure america continues to be the greatest nation on earth. that's part of citizenship. [applause] not trying to weasel out of your responsibilities. that's not smart in many want to leave the country? you are going to teach everybody how to avoid doing their responsibilities? he rooted for housing crisis because he said it might help his real estate situation. he said that's called business. he filed for bankruptcy six times and that allowed him to set workers. when you are concerned about the family worried about foreclosure of the small business that is

just trying to make ends meet you would rather make a buck off their dreams instead of being honest on your side of the deal, then you can't claim to lead this country. you are not to be -- fit to be the president of the united states. i have to say because he is getting support from some folks and i want to say get them look if a guy has spent 70 years on this earth showing no regard for working people, there is no record that he supported in low-wage or supported collective bargaining or invested in poor communities and then suddenly he's going to be the champion of working people? come on, come on, man. [applause]

apparently in a speech yesterday started talking about a conspiracy of global elitists. this is a guy who has spent all of his time hanging around trying to convince everybody he was a global elite. talking about how great his buildings are, how luxury is and how rich he is flying around everywhere. ali had time for was celebrities and now suddenly he's acting like he's a populist out there. i'm going to fight for working people. come on, man. you want to know what somebody's going to do? look what they have been doing their whole lives. [cheers and applause] and if you want a leader who values hard work and respects working americans, if you want higher wages and benefits from the fair tax code in equal pay for women and stronger regulations on wall street, then you should vote for hillary clinton. [applause]

if you want to know who is going to keep you safe in a dangerous world, the choice is clear. hillary is going to make sure we finish the job in defeating isis and she won't have to resort to torture or ban entire religions from our country. she has got the knowledge, the experience in the temperament to be the next commander in chief. you can can't have a guy who has insulted p.o.w.s and attacked old star moms and is called our troops and veterans week and cozies up to dictators. and tells our allies we might not stand by -- he may be up at 3:00 a.m. in the morning but it's because he's tweeting and sold to someone who has gotten under his skin. that's not the kind of president that you want. [applause] he's not fit to be commander-in-chief and not fit

to lead the world's greatest democracy. and by the way this is somebody who has threatened to jail his political opponent or silence the media, who welcomes russia's meddling in our electoral process? and is now suggesting if the election doesn't go his way because of all the stuff he has said, but it's because of -- it's a problem. some nations do operate that way and there are tearing these. they are not the world's greatest democracy. we have fought against those kinds of things. around the world we talk to other countries and say in a democracy you can't just threaten to jail your opponents. there are things called due process. in a democracy you can't just

ban reporters or presidents that you don't like. there is this thing called the first amendment. [applause] in a democracy you have a contest but if you lose you say congratulations and the move on because the country and our system of government is bigger than any single individual. that is what we do. the united states of america always looks for something better which by the way which i've got to go back to again. that's why i'm disturbed about republican elected officials who know better but are still supporting this guy. ..

>> a lot of republicans, elected officials have just did by, a lot of senators, they stood by

and they did not say anything because it was a way to rile up their basis and to mount out opposition to whatever we are trying to do. over time because a lot of reporters are just hearing this stuff over and over again they started to believe it. that is what allowed donald trump to suddenly emerge. donald trump to not build all of this crazy conspiracy stuff and some republican who knew better stood by silently and even during the course of this campaign did not say anything. i know some of them now are walking away, but why did it take you this long?

[applause] you said you are the party of family values, what? you are not appalled earlier? when he was saying degrading things about women? when he was judging them based on a score of whether they were to or attend. that was not enough for you? you want to wait for now it wasn't disturbing enough for you when he was saying mexicans who come here are rapists. or suggesting that people, patriotic americans of the islamic faith somehow are suspect and should be treated differently. that wasn't enough? i'm glad that some of them now said wow, this is really bad. i guess we need to walk away,

but if you're doing it just for political expedience and looking at poll numbers and say this might give me trouble, that is not enough. if you say about family values, you have to be about the emmy values all of the way through. climax climax if you set all of these years talking about reagan and how tough he was with the russians, how is it that you stand silently when your nominated guy who said a guy he admires is the former head of the kgb. if you say that you are about the constitution and you are opposed to what obama is doing with executive actions, he's is a tyrant, but you're okay with a guy who says to his opponent in the middle of the debate, i'm going going to throw you in jail. [applause] how does that work? [laughter] it doesn't work. and that is why i want everybody to understand what is at stake

here. one of the things either these past past eight years is that progress is hard. you have to battle it out, even when you have victories, like the affordable care act. it is not always perfect and you have to work to make it better. you take two steps forward on something like climate change, there were going to be folks who tried to push push you back, and special interest are strong. it is true that the country is so often divided along party lines and it is very hard to get folks to compromise. hillary understands all of that. but what she also knows is that if you stay at it and you work hard, good things can happen. she knows that in a democracy is big and diverse as this, we cannot demonize each other. we cannot just refuse to compromise, even when we are right we have to work with other folks. she knows that you have to

listen to each other and see ourselves and each other and fight for our principles. she believes believes there it is common ground out there. she believes that we can and should conduct ourselves better. that our leaders are not going to be perfect but we should aspire to at least express the decency and goodness of the american people, not our worst impulses. we should conduct ourselves with just the basic sense of what this country is about. a certain sense of dignity. that is not always flashy, that that does not always grab headlines, that is not always the thing that can get you on the news or fit on a tweet, politics doesn't always lend itself to that. but if we want progress, if we want progress we have to work

for it. progress does not always come right away and we don't always get 100% what we want. if we keep at it the way hillary has kept at it, decade after decade progress happens. if you don't believe that as the 20,000,000 more americans who have health insurance today that did not have it before. [applause] ask all those autoworkers right here in ohio [cheers & applause] who have been laid off and thought there plant was going to shut down but are now working double shifts. ask the proud marines who no longer has to hide the husband that he loves. ask the young person who is getting more help to pass the student loans. changes possible. it doesn't just depend on one person, depends on all. [applause] young people, especially out there, i want you to know that you have been through a lot, you

have grown up through war and recession and many incredible change but i have seen and you the best in america areas i have seen that you do not try to turn against each other. you're trying to look out for each other. i know you care about being open to the world not turning away from it. i know. i know that you believe in an inclusive society and innovative society, and a vibrant society society and you believe in democracy. [applause] i see the same values and you that have always driven this country forward, decency, honesty, hard work and stability. they are not old-fashioned values, their timeless alleys. it's what binds this country together. [applause] so even though sometimes politics can seem frustrating, even though sometimes our democracy can seem mean-spirited, you have a chance now to reject that kind of

policy. you have a chance chance to reject the politics of fear. you can lift back up the politics of hope. let's not go backwards, let's go forward. you have a chance have a chance to elect a woman who spent her entire life trying to make this country better. don't fall for the easy senate is him says your vote doesn't matter. don't fall for what trump tries to do and make everybody depressed. don't believe it. i promise you, your, your vote counts. [applause] your vote matters. [applause] there is a time when folks could not vote. when you had to guess the number jelly beans in a jar to vote. the number of soap bubbles on a bar of soap to vote. folks were beaten to vote. folks risked everything to vote. the selection, whatever issue you care about, it could not be

easier for you to vote. if you care about any quality, you need to vote. [applause] if you felt the burn in the primaries, you need to vote. [applause] you can vote for somebody who only cares about themselves or somebody who is going to fight like heck for working people. [applause] make sure we get at minimum wage rates. make sure we get equal pay for equal work. care about criminal justice reform and civil rights, you can vote for somebody who has fought against civil rights where you can vote for someone who went undercover to make sure that minority kids were getting equal education. [applause] you care about the environment and climate change you can vote for somebody who thinks that it's a chinese hoax or you can vote for somebody who thinks there's something called -- and

we will fight for. if you care about immigration reform want us to continue to see this nation is one that is a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants any have to get out there vote. [applause] donald trump's closing arguments is what you have to lose. the answer is everything. all of the progress we have made right now is on the talents. civility is on the ballot, courtesy is on the ballot. honesty is on the ballot. equality is on the ballot. kindnesses on the ballot. all of the progress we made the

last eight years is on the ballot. democracy itself is on the ballot right now. so if you if you want to send a message, make it loud,. [applause] turn back the voice of cynicism, turn back the voices of ignorance, and send a message of progress. send a message of hope. send a message by voting for hillary clinton and show our kids and the rest of the world that we remade the greatest country in the world. thank you everybody. god bless you. god bless the united states of america.

[applause]

>> before the final debate between hillary clinton and donald trump, we are looking back to pass presidential debates. this saturday at 8:00 p.m. eastern on c-span, the 1984 debate between president ronald reagan and former vice president walter mondale. >> we must understand that we are democracy. we are government by the people and when we move it should be for very severe and extreme reasons that serve our national interests and and up with a stronger country behind us. >> i will make make age an issue of this campaign. i will not exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience. [laughter] >> than the 1988 presidential debate between vice president george hw bush a massachusetts governor, michael dukakis. >> you have a president you have a president who will work with congress and the american people. we can bring the deficit down's 20, 30,000,000,000 dollars per year, build economic growth but a strong future for america, invest in the things we must invest in, economic development,

good jobs. >> i wish you would join me as a matter fact and appealing to the american people for the balanced budget amendment for the federal government. [applause] and for the line item veto. i would like to have that line item veto for the president because i think it would be extraordinarily helpful. >> on the 2008 debate with illinois senator barack obama in arizona senator, john mccain. >> the situation today cries out for bipartisanship. senator obama has never taken on leaders of his party with a single issue. we need to reform. so let's look at our records as well as our rhetoric. that is really part of your mistrust year. >> we will have to make investments but we also make spending cuts. what i propose, senator came is opposing more spending but actually i'm cutting more than

i'm spending. it will be a net spending spending cut. the key is whether or not we are priorities that are working for you. >> watch pass presidential debate saturday night at 8:00 p.m. eastern on c-span. watch any time on c-span.org and listen at 8:00 p.m. eastern on the c-span radio app. >> house speaker paul ryan talk to republican college students in madison, wisconsin about the legislative agenda and the importance of the elections. he then took questions from students. this students. this is about 45 minutes. [applause] >> hello everybody. good to see you. how are you doing? on wisconsin. it is great to be here with all of you in madison. i know i am taking a political risk here.

ohio is a battleground state. but the buckeyes are going down tomorrow night, are they? [applause] on wisconsin. [applause] politics as a team sport too. we cannot do it we do it without all of the time and effort given to our cause in all of our candidates. so whether it is sending mike gallagher to the house, or sending ron johnson back to the senate, what each and every one of you do makes a difference. in an election critical like this one it will make all of the difference. i want to hear the right, i want to get to the heart of things today. i know this election has taken dark and sometimes very dark turns. which is exactly why i think it's important that we take a step back and reflect on what the election is ultimately about. beneath all the ugliness lies a

long-running debate between two governing philosophies. one that is in keeping with our nations founding's founding principles like freedom and equality. another seeks to replace them. so at this time i would like to invite you to reflect on this choice that we are facing here. right now, as fractured and as polarized as this country is, a vast majority of americans, seven out of ten agree on something fundamental. they agreed that our country is on the wrong path. we have a chance to start solving our country's problems. we have a chance to save this country from decline and set it on the right path. a path with hope, liberty, self determination., self-determination. core principles that set america

apart. in elections we don't just decide who our leaders will be. we get to choose what kind of country we will have for years to come. and the kind of america we want is competent and determined. our allies trust in our enemies feared the america we want. the america we want is a land of opportunity driven by individual spirits. you don't just live your life, you lead your life. you don't just get by, you get ahead and make the most of your potential. the america we want is a place where work is rewarded. where were successes earned, where ingenuity is exalted. in the america we want, government exists to serve the people. instead of of lecturing us our leaders listen to us. they offer positive solutions to tackle our problems. sometimes, sometimes we put all of those ideas on paper and put

on our website. i'm told it looks great on any mobile device. that is better.gop. this is the america we want. this is our party's vision for america. what vision do hillary clinton and her party offer the people? they want what america, that doesn't stand out. they want an america that is ordinary, there is a gloomy grayness to things. in the america they want the driving forces the state. is a place where government is taken away from the people. where we are ruled by a cold and on fueling democracy that replaces original thinking. in a place where government twists the laws and constitution itself to suit his purposes. a place where liberty is under

assault and life is extinguished. that is the america hillary clinton wants. if given control of washington, if given control of congress, it is the conger kind of america she will stop at nothing to have. the america they want is remade in the multiple we call liberal progressivism. it really meet needs no introduction here in madison, right? [applause] it's imported from socialist europe and got its start in america right here in madison wisconsin. we are ten minutes down the road from the high school, i used to play over there. a century ago bob, fighting bobby called and was part of the movement to address legitimate grievances of the people. busting trusts and in patronage,

important reforms of good intentions. their theory was that if we enlarge the state, if we stock the bureaucracy with experts and technocrats who a disk side what was best then we would be better off. and too many it had some appeal. it made little sense in a nation founded by the distrust of power but it did have some appeal. but it didn't take long for this theory to be pulled back into its collective groups to central planning and organization. we became obsessed with bigger governments ignoring constraints, constitutional and otherwise in picking winners and losers. well, the last eight years has been one long liberal progressive experiment. time and again, we have been told that if we just spend more money, create more programs to live under, or rules to live by, put one more wing on government this will solve our problems. after all of that, we feel less safe and less secure, less free

and less prosperous. as government grows more unaccountable and unresponsive there's less faith and less trust and that is because liberal progressivism simply does not work. that's the longest con. it preaches it preaches to us about fairness well nothing out there is striving at the heart of a free society. perhaps it should come as no surprise that we are in the weakest economic recovery since the great depression. people. people are working longer hours for less. we are supposed to accept this says the new normal. just look at yourselves, all the work that you put into getting this great, high quality education in madison, leading in medicine, leading to the moment we can strike up on your own and it's tough to find a good, decent paying job one that will help you start to tackle your debt and get you on the right path.

this may be the worst thing about liberal progressivism. it actually hurts the very people it is claiming to protect. there are now more than 94 million americans who are not just out of work, they're not even looking for work. nearly one out of three men over the age of 20 or not currently in the workforce. america's idle army their call. think about that. a generation of workers threatens to be wiped out by liberal progressive policies. unless we act what becomes of these people come our fellow citizens? . .

from program to program. keeps people down instead of helping them break free -- free and it goes against everything the american idea represents. this is what liberal progressivism is. say bad landlord raises your rant that doesn't fix the heat. maybe the place was nice ones but there hasn't been any upkeep preacher they promised all kinds of upgrades but nothing changes at least not for you. maybe the folks on the top floor but not for you. but then you were given no

choice but to sign the same lease so you are stuck, no way up in and no way out. here is what you need to know about our political opponents. the last does is not just seek a continuation of the last eight years, they do not just seek to deliver a progressive experiment. they intend to make it into a reality, and arrogant condescending maternal estate reality. the country may be drawing in debt but what are they proposing , and other stimulus package of more government money. you'd think after the last eight years the left would realize there is no money left for their schemes but apparently not. washington democrats are in the midst of opposing a record slew of rules, an onslaught from everything from overtime pay to retirement planning. our tax code may be one at least competitive in the world that washington democrats oppose a

continual stream of tax increases. in america the one that they want, our tax code is not growth is a machine distribution for families looking for any relief from obamacare they propose no cure. that washington democrats want to expand obamacare. they want to take us further toward government-run health care. that is the america hillary clinton in washington democrats want but it is not the america that we want. we want an america that values disruption and innovation. in a time when you can customize your life, right now the challenge you want one-size-fits-all designs are creaky and were not an obsolete. you see this in your daily lives as millennials. take uber lyft an air bnb. great success stories in recent years services that are just taking off even in this economy. guess what? one of a centerpieces is to down on those economies.

this is what liberal progressivism does even in an age of diversity it demands conformity and sameness. it traps people people. it traps people in health care exchanges you can navigate, rules you can understand. in the tax code he can't make heads or tails of it unless you hire an army of lawyers. this is not about -- it's about limiting you. there's no room to run, no chance to grow or to fail for that matter. people are not needed. they are counted in sordid. this is how you can so casually classify all groups of people as baskets of deplorables. how hillary clinton so casually said and i quote we are going to put a lot of coalminers and coal companies out of business as if government and the we she was talking about should be able to waive a wand and put a whole industry of workers out of work.

it's how her associates can casually say as we learned this week that the whole church is severely backwards. this is the america that the left wants and if congress does not stand for this and a republican congress will not stand for this, they will hire him elected bureaucrats to do their bidding and appoint activist judges to do the rubberstamping of their desires. you see the left, they are not challenging the system. they are rigging the system because liberal progressivism is not government for the people, it's government by them, he leads. when hillary clinton says we are all stronger together what she means we are all subject to these rules of government through what she means is we are stronger for give up our time and responsibility to one another and handed over to government and we take apart our ability to customize solutions and fight for progress in our own communities. but there is no strength in any of this, only hubris, only the

air against to assume we are better off if we fall in line or bow down to our vendors. that may be the kind of america they want but that's not the kind of america we want. the america we want is about empowering people to flourish and to thrive. that is why we are taking to the country a bold agenda. this is what we want this election to be about, a better way with less government and more freedom less advocacy and more ambition, way that offers the best of what liberty produces. instead of accepting a stalemate we want to end the status quo in our welfare system. senator placing work we want to reward work and make sure work always pays give people the skills they need to succeed long-term and get them on the ladder of opportunity. instead of all this fear and uncertainty we want to secure our borders. want to build a 21st century

military and we want to confront radical islamic extremism to keep us safe. instead of just trudging along we want our economy to live up to its potential and it starts with getting government out of the way. our plan will make it easier to build things and to develop our energy resources and to start small businesses but we don't just need to peel away a few regulations here and there. we need to restore self-government. we need to make sure that we are riding the lawsuit we live under not elected bureaucrats in washington d.c.. here's an idea. every major regulation that comes before congress for a vote before goes into effect. that's accountability. don't you think we have to be living under the laws that we write for ourselves through elected representatives instead of elected bureaucrats? or instead of letting obamacare continue to train as we want to repeal it and replace it with real patient-centered solutions.

you should be able to choose a the plan that best fits your situation and your money not washington's mandates. instead of letting our tax code's mother is we want to get the irs out of our lives. we want to lower taxes. we want to make the tax code so simple that you can do your taxes on that form the size of a postcard. that is the cliff notes version of our agenda. i don't even know if you use cliff notes anymore. that's the short version. the long version the details are available. believe it or not we are offering agenda. we are offering solutions. we are taking our country's principles and applying them and giving people real solutions. this is the america we want. we do not just offer these ideas to solve problems or take off some to-do list. we give our fellow citizens a clear choice. are we going to be positive and inclusive and bring people

together and reclaim our -- or are we going to be overrun by liberal progressives with more despair and more decline? that's the choice before us. you know many people are still making their choices. i know some people aren't making any choice at all and i don't begrudge anybody for that. it's certainly easier time like this to get down to let their fears take over and lose sight of our horizon. here's what i would want to ask you. there is far more at stake than we realize. every single generation of americans has left the next generation better off. this is our legacy. this is america's boasts to the world. we stay on this current path, we will be the first generation to violate this unwritten compact and if we do not act we will not just lose our quality of life for standard of living we are at risk of losing the initiative

that makes america exceptional in the first place. if hillary clinton winds in and if she is given control of washington, if she is given control of congress it will not be long before we come to that precipice but that does not have to happen. we can be done with the old ways. we can build the america we want and this is where you will make a crucial difference because as powerful as ideas are, they are nothing without people who will stand up and put them to the test and say this is our vision, this is what we stand for and if you want to save this country stand with us and join our cause this is a fight for the next 25 days. this is what we are going to be out talking about. this is what house republicans are offering. let's raise our gaze. let's rise to the challenge. let's make this moment ours. thank you very much for coming out today and on wisconsin.

[applause] thank you. b we are just going to let paul chill for a little bit back there and take your the podium. and vicki mckenna and i would like to thank you college republicans, i'm told one of the largest group of college republicans in the history the organization at the university of wisconsin, madison. thank you for being here. think ever be willing willing to swim against the stream because i will tell you what's when i was in college i was as brave as you are. in madison wisconsin of all places. i host a show from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. and your fine city and i have been swimming against the

stream sometimes it feels like a tidal waive for the better part of 13 years so thank you for being reinforcement because we need you. please feel free to stay in madison when you graduate because we need you. here here's how it's going to work. i've got questions and i've got your names. if i mispronounce them i will apologize in advance. i will call you and there will be someone with a microphone who will walk up to you. you don't get to hold the mic so they'll be grabbing the microphone. something about when you get a microphone people want to do karaoke or something like that. we'll have someone hold the microphone and i would ask that you stand and ask your question and if you could wait for the speaker to answer your question and simply move on. we will get as many and as we can. i'm not sure we will get to all of your questions and in fact i suspect we will bet we will try to move through them as fast as possible. if for some reason you need a

follow-up please signal to me and if we have time for a bit of a follow-up question that's going to be at my discretion. again we are under a time crunch here so that's how it's going to work. are you ready to go? i will welcome back to stage house speaker paul ryan. [applause] i feel like we should be singing a duet. we are going to start with kennedy from madison. kennedy from madison. >> i'm actually originally from minneapolis minnesota. it's actually more liberal there than it is here. >> that's saying something. >> first of all thank you so much for being here.

my question is the majority of millennials especially on college campuses project -- many of her peers don't understand republicans because they are not willing to listen to us so how would you recommend we try to get this message out on our campuses. >> first of all do her thing you can to get johnson reelected. this man deserves re-election. that's number one. number two, i think all of us, when i was young i experienced the same kind of back lash you did. i spent a lot of my childhood years in madison. a lot of college years in madison. i didn't go to school here but i spent my summers here. many are debating someone don't go to a motion and don't impugn on someone else's emotion. iras encourage people to go back to the basics and the classics,. what liberal progressivism puts out. understand what it is they are

trying to propose a.u. have a better understanding in how you can defeat them intellectually and take our principled conservative values. i call myself a classical liberal more than a conservative because what that means is we believe those core principles that made this country great liberty freedom and equality self-determination. understand those first familiarize them and find out how to characterize it in today's language how to apply to today's experiences. that's why i talk about customization. that is liberty and freedom and self-determination in the free enterprise system. i think it's very important that when people are shouting at you no one wants to listen at screaming at each other but get back to the basics and applied these great principles or your life and experiences you know it and try to introduce your friends and people who don't agree with you with these things and take the high ground.

>> freedom is cool. it's pretty hard to defeat freedom. >> j., milwaukee. where is jake? >> good morning, thank you for being here. talked about a better way agenda so my question is how will you continue to pursue this if hillary is elected president? >> it's not going to be aseesi. this is six things welfare reform come are building our national security, homeland security and national security, rewriting a regulatory system are storing the separation of powers the constitution replacing obamacare in entitlement programs that we don't have the debt crisis and replacing the tax code. these will be extremely difficult in a divided government. where the reasons we put this agenda out there is this is what we could not achieve with barack obama as president. the things we could achieve over the last year but these are things we had big philosophical

differences on so this is why having more the same stalemate is not a good option. let me give you one little example. our budget for example, all tax laws must start in the house of representatives to look at our tax reform. go to better g.o.p..org and see what we do. we write tax bill so we maximize economic growth and then we send the bill to the senate and if the senate budget chair decides whether or how we will consider that bill a tax bill or a budget bill we keep control of the senate and in republican hands and if ron johnson winds the election which will determine whether we keep the senate a nice guy in named mike nc from wyoming is the senate budget chair and he helps us gets these tax bills through. if we lose the senate do you know who becomes the chairman of the senate budget committee? a guy named bernie sanders. have you ever heard of him? it it just tells you what you'll

be dealing with in a divided government if we lose control of the senate. losing the senate makes it that much more difficult rust to even put a bill on the president's desk so that is why it's so important we keep the senate as well. >> there's not much of an option is what he is telling you. >> we will fight for what we believe in and passing what we believe in the house but we have to get things to the presence of desk. the filibuster is frustrating enough as it is but not even be able to able to bring up a bill would be even more frustrating. kate from wisconsin rapids. >> hi speaker. thank you for joining us in madison. my question for to you is how do we articulate our economic message in a clear and brief manner so college students minorities and lower-income individuals who would normally

vote for just democrats see how our policies are fair and will benefit them? >> i spent a lot of my time on just that point. two things come you have to have good ideas number one and we do. number two look about miserable the status quo is. look at just this war on poverty itself. we measure success by effort not by outcomes and take a look at the kind of things that we are offering for instance customized benefits to get it person from welfare to work making sure we create economic growth. it's less an argument of more government control redistribution which leads to slower economic growth and you can talk about how bad the status quo is and how little opportunity we have is we are living under obama liberal policies. what we have right now is a flavor of what they want to continue doing. talk about freedom and opportunity and upward mobility look like, talk about how our principles, and you have more

determination over on life and we want government to get out of the way so we consult robbins locally. we can solve problems in our community. what we want to do is help solve these problems i do i his soul person to person. i think the best way to do it is talking to people and showing that we care that we have better ideas and we have supposed that when applied they work to the last point i will say is especially important middies in america i spent a lot of time doing this. go find the people who are doing a good job of solving problems. go find the great poverty fighters in that surround them and help them and amplify them. you said you are from a high school across the street from st. luke's? pulaski high school three years ago had 14 -- it was really an

ugly situation. most of us know the high school and 14 gangs, you can imagine the violence that dropout rates, kids just getting washed away in society. a local group running rebels, local poverty fighters said let's try something else because they are trying more police and more cameras in every ring. they had a bunch of young people who used to be in gangs and used to be down on their luck who got redeemed and came in to schools to become mentors. you help the kids in the high school and from their mistakes so they didn't repeat their mistakes. they were 24/7 mentors. it's called a violence free zone graduation rates are up in attendance up. they are academics are up and kids are not graduating with -- the people in the community of taking this violence free zone program a local grown idea in milwaukee and taking it to other

schools. we are spreading it to reseen. they are great folks in dallas doing this. that is what we believe in. that's an extension of our philosophy of rolling up your sleeves, solving a problem locally and fixing it. you can't do that if you are waiting for washington so there's a beautiful picture of the kinds of things that we as conservatives believe in achieving so that everybody can reach their lot in life. the american ideas are really clear and simple ideas. the condition of your birth doesn't determine the outcome of your life. to make sure that ideas believable and true for everybody and only buy each and every one of us taking responsibility in our communities and advancing these ideas and principles and solutions can we achieve that no matter what party you belong to. >> let's go to kelly from georgia. there she is.

>> hi. >> where you from kelly? >> georgia. my question is what is your best advice for republican college students on liberal colleges and challenges facing the upcoming election? >> well, have i shown you this? you can't beat something with nothing. don't get into a personally -- personality contest. talk about what you believe and why you believe it and why you think it's important to keep our countries core principles, stick to the constitution. you have to have an agenda. the kind of election we really want to have is not the one we are having right now. the one we really want to have this thing we have ideas and solutions. let's win this. that is what scott walker and the state legislature did. here are the problems inherent the solutions. they will results are proving themselves. that's what i would say on a

campus like this. don't lock yourself into a bizarre personality contest to get into an ideas contest and that is why we are trying to furnish you with ideas that solve problems. i promise i won't pull this out of my pocket again. >> why don't you just keep in your front pocket? we have john from milwaukee. >> we are in area from? >> what are your main goals for the upcoming legislative session? >> i said i would promise but i can't help myself. the way i used to run the ways & means committee and i'm familiar with the budgeting process my goal in the upcoming is the shyness to get to work on our economy that means a budget which includes getting the budget under control. i'm really worried about the military the hollowing of our military so we have the reform

and free up what i call fiscal space for the military meaning we had to ask her military or we will have real problems. i really want to get tax reform running as quickly as possible. our tax code is arguably, it is the worst tax system in the industrialized world and it is causing us to lose a lot of jobs oversees what is right here in wisconsin means lake superior. we see countries like canada taxing their businesses at 15%. china is a 25. are corporations are taxed at 35%. our successful small businesses which is nine out of 10 businesses in wisconsin are filed a small businesses. their taxes are as high as 44%. that is killing american competitiveness. at one point we had these tax laws that of the company makes money overseas and belted here they can't bring their money

back without a huge tax consequence. i want to get economic growth. the tax plan we put out could create as many as 1.7 million new jobs. the first thing out of the gate is a budget and tax reform and get the debt and deficit under control and gets her military what they need. and we have to work on regulations. i want to work on poverty and welfare. want to work on the rest of this his agenda but get this economy growing and get you in an economy where you have good options in good jobs and wages. you get the economy fix and it fixes a lot of problems of us also work on the people stuck in poverty who are stuck in the system this poverty trap and get them into the kona me. we do that and we are doing well. we will get the kinds of revenues we need to get the things we need to do at the federal level and to me it's reasserting the separation of powers of the constitution. one of the most critical goals we have to get done in 2017.

>> i think we have time for a couple more. sidney. >> where are you from? >> minnesota. >> another reciprocity person. go packers. you know what this is, don't you vicki? that's a minnesota super bowl ring. they beat us already so i had to get them. [applause] >> if hillary gets the presidency what are republicans plans to do with the skyrocketing -- skyrocketing cost of health care this is going to be a row problem no matter who the next president is going to be. the row problem is actual or he is declared this current state of health care a death spiral. it's a term they use which says sicker people are joining the exchange. healthier people are not so that

means the premiums go up-and-up just to cover the cost. united health care which -- are you from minneapolis? united health care is the biggest health insurance company in the country from your hometown. they pulled out. they could make obamacare work. aetna another dig health insurance company is pulled up a map of these action areas it -- actuaries set blue cross blues blues -- blue cross-blue shield. what is going to happen next year is much higher premiums the bulls. it doesn't feel like you have health insurance in the first place because the deductibles are so high. i think 31% of counties and america only get one choice of obamacare and next year it will get even worse. again i have got to show you we have a plan for this. what i want to do in this budget to answer your question a solution is to replace this

failing system, this failing obamacare with patient-centered health care. we can't have a system of country where people can get affordable health care rates more choices more freedom lower prices better quality and we can do it so we have the kind of low income people who don't have insurance and the system were people have pre-existing conditions. we can do all of these things without having a government takeover like we have right now. if you go to better.g.o.p. you can see exactly what we are talking about. this is what we will present an ex-president. this law is failing. it's not working. here is a solution and here is what should be replaced with. honestly we can fix this problem we can get lower costs, more quality health care, better access for everybody and we can also deal with a legitimate problem with people getting breast cancer new middle 40s. you don't want to go to the poor

house to get your health care. ..

>> >> which ways can we better market to be undecided voters what the republican congress has done a last two years cricks in dash not asking to ask this question by the way laugh laugh this is what i decided to do. after getting this job find the common ground where we agree to get the things done so we had a problem of the infrastructure we have real issues i 94 so for the first time we have a bipartisan infrastructure bill so to have a long term highway bill to get people back to
