8:35 pm
onto our every word, looking to us to show them who they can and will be and that's why every day we try to be the find of people, the kind of leaders that your children deserve, whether you agree with our politics or not. [cheers and applause] >> and when i think about this election, let me tell you, that is what i'm thinking about. i'm asking myself what do my girls, what do all of our children deserve in their president? what kind of a president do we want for them? well, to start with, i think we want someone who is a unifying force in this country, someone who sees our differences not as a threat, but as a blessing.
8:36 pm
[cheers and applause] >> as hillary said, we want a president who values and honors women, who teaches our daughters and our sons that women are full and equal human beings worthy, deserving of love and respect. [cheers and applause] >> we want a president who understands that this nation was built by folks who came here from all corners of the globe. folks who worked their fingers to the phone -- bone to give their kids a better life. we want a president who see it is goodness in all and not just the brokeness, somebody who understands that communities where i was raised are filled with good, hard-working folks, folks who take that extra shift and work that extra job because they want something more for their kids .
8:37 pm
and finally, we want a president who takes this job seriously. and has the temperament and ma maturity to do it well, somebody who is steady, someone who we can trust with the nuclear code because we want to go to sleep at night knowing that our kids and our country are safe. and i am here today because i believe with all of my heart and i would not be here lying to you, i believe with all of my heart that hillary clinton will be that president. [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause]
8:38 pm
>> over the years i've come to know hillary. i know her not just her extraordinary professional accomplishments but i know her personal values and beliefs. i know that hillary was raised like barack and i in a working family. hillary's mother was an orphan abandoned by her parents. her father was a small business owner who stayed up nights going over books, working hard to keep their family afloat. believe me, hillary knows what it means to struggle for what you have and want something better for your kids. that's why since the day she launched her campaign, hillary has been laying out concrete detailed policies that will actually make a difference for kids and families in this country. she said she plans to make college tuition free to help young people drowning in debt.
8:39 pm
she's going to handle making sure that our climate is protected. [cheers and applause] >> and let me tell you this about hillary, she is involved and engaged in every policy issue that she's developed. you go on her website, she's going to raise the minimum wage, she's going to cut taxes for working folks, she's going to do her best to help women get equal pay for equal work. [cheers and applause] >> and if you want to know more go to her website hillaryclinton.com. here is the thing about hillary, thankfully hillary is a policy wonk.
8:40 pm
let me tell you, when you are president, that is a good thing. [laughter] >> because policies matter. they really matter. they determine whether our kids have good schools, whether they can see a doctor when they're sick, whether they're safe when they walk out the door on the way to school. policies matter. and that's why hillary has fought so hard for children's health insurance as first lady, for affordable child care in the senate. that's why as secretary of state, she has gone toe to toe with world leaders to keep our kids safe and that is why day after day debate after debate, she has shown us such strength, such grace, refusing to be knocked down, refusing to be pushed around or counted out. hillary does all of this because she is thinking of children like
8:41 pm
her mother, children like her daughter and her grandkids, children who deserve every chance to fulfill their god-giving potential. that is why hillary is in this. she is in this race for us. she's in this race for our family, for our kids, for our shared future. so let me tell you, that is why i am inspired by hillary. that is why i respect hillary because she has lived a life grounded in service and sacrificed that has brought her to this day, that has more than prepared her to take on the hardest job on the planet. she has run an extraordinary campaign. she has built an impressive grassroots. she's raised the money. she's won all of the debates.
8:42 pm
[cheers and applause] >> so hillary has done her job. now, we need to do our job and get elected as president of the united states because here is where i want to get real. if hillary doesn't win this election, that will be on us. it will be because we did not stand with her, it will be because we did not vote for her and that is exactly what her opponent is hoping will happen. that's the strategy to make this election so dirty and ugly that we don't want any part of it. so when you hear folks talking about a global conspiracy and saying that this election is rigged, understand that they are
8:43 pm
trying to get you to stay home. they're trying to convince you that your vote doesn't matter, that the outcome has already been determined and you shouldn't even bother making your voice heard. they are trying to take away your hope. and just for the record, in this country, the united states of america, the voters decide our elections, they've always decided. voters decide who wins and who loses, period, end of story. [cheers and applause] and right now thankfully folks are coming out in droves to vote early. it's amaze to go see. we are making our voicing heard all across this country because when they go low -- >> we go high! >> and we know that every vote matters. every single vote. and if you have any doubt about that consider this, back in 2008 and i say everywhere i go, barack won north carolina by about 14,000 votes.
8:44 pm
[cheers and applause] >> which sounds like a lot, but when you break that number down, the difference between winning and losing this state was a little over 2 votes per precinct. see, i want you all to take that in because i know that there are people here who didn't vote. two votes and people knew people who didn't vote, two votes. if just two vote or three folks per precinct had gone the other way, barack would have lost that state and could have lost the election and let's not forget back in 2012 barack actually did lose the state by about 17 votes per precinct. 17. that's how presidential elections go. they are decided on a raser's edge. just think about it.
8:45 pm
each of you could swing an entire precinct and win this election for hillary just by getting yourselves, your friends and your family out to vote. [cheers and applause] >> just doing what you're supposed to do. you can do this, but you could also help swing an entire precinct for hillary's opponent with a protest vote or by not voting at all. so here is what i'm asking you, get out and vote. get out and vote for hillary. vote early, vote right now. leave here and go vote. and don't let anyone take that right away from you. as hillary mentioned, you may have seen in previous weeks that folks were trying to cut early voting places and cut the hours they were open but that didn't stop people in the state. that's beautiful. now i understand there are more locations that are opening and i
8:46 pm
want you all to crowd those places. i want you to remember that folks marched and protested for our right to vote. [cheers and applause] >> they endured beatings and jail time, they sacrificed their lives for this right. [cheers and applause] >> so i know that you can get yourselves to the polls to exercise that right. because make no mistake about it, casting our vote is the ultimate way we go high when they go low. voting is our high. that's how we go high. we vote. how do we go high? >> we vote! >> how do we go high? that's it. after you vote, volunteer. no, no. we need you to volunteer. roll up your sleeves, make calls, knock on doors, get people to the polls. it's turnout that's going to make the difference.
8:47 pm
we have to turn our people out. do not let yourself get tired or frustrated or discouraged by the negativity of this election. as you are out there working your hearts out for my girl -- [laughter] >> here is the thing that i just want to tell you all because this has been a draining election, but i urge you to please, please be encouraged, you know, i want our young people to be encouraged because we still live in the greatest country on earth, we do. [cheers and applause] >> and i have never felt more hopeful about the future and i want our young people deserve that. be encouraged.
8:48 pm
i feel that way because for the past eight years i have had the great honor of being this country's first lady. [cheers and applause] >> we rock. [cheers and applause] >> but i have traveled from one end of this country to the other and i have met people from every conceivable background and every walk of life including folks who disagree with just about everything barack and i have ever said, but who welcomed us into their communities. remember, our neighbors are decent folks. these are -- we are all good people who are open hearted and willing to listen and while we might not change each other's
8:49 pm
minds, we always walk away reminded that when it comes to what really matters, when it comes to our hopes and dreams for our children, we are just not all that different. and i want you to remember that it's that part of us as americans, it is that piece of us that is in all of us. that's what drives folks like hillary's mother who said to herself, i may not have grown up in a loving family, but i will build a loving family of my own. i will give my children what i never had. i will pour my heart into raising a strong, smart loving daughter. that's what drives people like my father who kept getting up and putting in those long hours who said i may not have gone to college but i'm going to keep
8:50 pm
working because maybe my son, maybe my daughter will because in this country, anything is possible. [cheers and applause] >> as we walk away from this election, remember that is what makes us who we are. remember that. the country where a girl like me from the south side of chicago whose great, great grandfather was a slave can go to the finest universities on earth, a country where a biracial kid from hawaii, the son of a single mother can make it to the white house, a country where the daughter of an orphan can break that highest ceiling and become president of the united states,
8:51 pm
that is who we are, that is what is possible here in america but only, only when we come together, only when we work for it and fight for it. so that's why for the next 12 days, folks incident we need to do everything possible to help hillary clinton and tim kaine win this election. [cheers and applause] >> are you with me? are you with me? >> yes! >> i can't hear you. are we going to do this? we are going to vote. we are going to vote early, we are going to stand in line, we are going to make our voices heard. no one is going to take away our hope. let's get this done. thank you all. god bless.

9:12 pm
a brand-new poll, highly respected has just a few minutes ago come out and in ohio we are four points up. [cheering] early voting is underway so let's make sure, get out and vote. we don't want to give this away. we have a movement going on like they've never seen before in the country. this is a movement like they've never seen before. it's packed into the greatest people on earth we are going to turn our country around. 75% of the people think our country is headed in the wrong
9:13 pm
direction. we are going to take the country back, and it's going to be put on the right track. change begins with repealing and replacing obamacare. [cheering] it's just been announced americans are going to experience another massive double-digit hike in obamacare including premiums like in the great state of arizona, where they are going to go up 116%. don't worry, you will be there very soon unless i win, in which case you will not have to worry about it. even bill clinton said obamacare is the craziest thing in the world where people end up paying for their premiums that double
9:14 pm
into the coverage is cut in ha half. job killing obamacare is one way the system is rigged. he said they could pass obamacare and the stupidity of the american voter would allow it to take place. the only stupidity is shown by the politicians when they force this bill through over the furious objections to many petitions in fairness many politicians that the american people, and it was very sad. in all fairness to the democrats
9:15 pm
have had oudemocrats, had our pt fly to 28 times ten i remember you can keep your plan and your doctor come it is past by this they wouldn't have gone for it but they believed him like everybody else. there've been a lot of lives lately. lies lately. hillary clinton, talking about liars -- wants to double down on the obamacare and make i it mayt even worse. so i'm going to repeal it, replace it, and we will have a replacement that is so much less expensive and so much better. you don't even get to use obamacare because they deductible is so high. it is so out of control you will never get to use it. 4,000 or $5,000 before you can start taking.
9:16 pm
hillary clinton declared -- remember this not so long ago it was one of the greatest accomplishments of the democratic party come it was a total disaster. here in the ohio, another fight insurancfiveinsurance companiesg out of obamacare. good luck getting negotiations. that means all the rest will be getting cancellation notices very soon. obamacare is a catastrophic event for ohio workers and it's making it impossible for many parents to pay their bills can support their families or get quality medical care to their children. a repealing obamacare is one of the single most important reasons we must win on novembe
9:17 pm
november 8. [cheering] real change also means getting rid of the corruption in washington, d.c.. hillary clinton deleted 33,000 e-mails, lied to congress under oath, made 13 phones disappear sometimes with a hammer and then told the fbi she couldn't remember 39 different times. they gave more than $675,000 to the wife of the deputy director of the fbi and the man who was overseeing the investigation
9:18 pm
into the illegal server that we now know obama knew about we found that out yesterday. the more e-mails released, the more lies between the clinton foundation, the secretary of state's office and the clintons personal finances. just today we read about him bragging that he funneled tens of millions through the foundation donations paid speeches and consulting contracts. he called the arrangement unorthodox. the rest of us call it outright corrupt. [cheering] in fact the clinton foundation hired a law firm to find out if the pay to play scheme would jeopardize their status with the
9:19 pm
irs. if they were willing to play this fast and loose with the enterprise when they were not in the white house, just imagine what they will do given the chance to once again control the oval office. i think that we've had enough in all fairness. at what point do we say it she is the most corrupt person to seek the office. i've proposed contract with the american voters that will end the corruption and give the government back to the people. [cheering] i want the entire corrupt washington establishment to hear and to heed the words i'm about to say. if we win on november 8 -- when
9:20 pm
[cheering] when we win. [cheering] we don't want to take it for granted that we are winning in a lot of states i have to tell you. the media now is going wild because they are saying this guy is winning in florida, north carolina, he is winning in iowa, he is winning in ohio. when we win, we are going to washington, d.c., and we are going to drain the swamp.
9:21 pm
a lot of spirit in this room. [cheering] that is the constitutional amendment to impose term limits on all members of congress. [cheering] it is my economic plan that can be summarized in three beautiful words especially to the people in this area and this room. jobs, jobs, jobs. [cheering] it's terrible what happened to this country in this area. hillary clinton promised to bring jobs when she ran for the senate and instead the jobs left.
9:22 pm
she's been there for 30 years and hasn't fixed anything. she has just made things worse except for herself and her husband. 47 million americans are on food stamps and 45 million americans live in poverty. nearly one in four americans in their prime earning years are not working or are not able to. 70 million american women and children are in poverty or are on the brink of poverty and nearly half of african-american children under the aegis is to be the -- age of six are living in abject poverty. the infrastructure throughout the country is in bad shape. airports, roads, bridges, tunnels, schools, hospitals. our trade deficit is merely $800 billion a year.
9:23 pm
they are living in the greatest jobs lef theft in the history oe world. what our politicians have allowed to happen to this area and all areas of our country, nafta, tpp they want to approve, a disaster. ohio has lost one in four manufacturing jobs. a deal signed by bill clinton and supported strongly by hillary. remember every time you see a clothing factory or wiped out community in ohio, it was eventually caused by the clintons. there was nafta. apply a deal like that was allowed. we've lost 70,000 factories. think of that one.
9:24 pm
70. i tell everybody it's a typo. it can't be 70,000. it is. we lost 70,000 since china entered the world trade organization. another bill and hillary 'disaster. just this year the corporation in ohio closed its plant, laid off 152 workers and moved their jobs to mexico. i could name them all day long. under my concept, if a company wants to fire their workers, movcomeand move to mexico or otr countries and ship their products back into the united states, we will put a 35% care if on those products. [cheering] just in case you have any questions when that happens or not losing your companies anymore, and if you do, the country is going to make a lot of money.
9:25 pm
we will immediately begin renegotiating nafta and if we don't get the deal we want right now it is a one-way highway, we lose our jobs, we lose our companies, the lose everything. if they get the cash, they can jobs, they get the companies, we get the drugs, we get the unemployment, that's what we get, nothing. less than nothing. we will terminate nafta and get a better deal for our workers if we can't renegotiate it properly we are going to get a better deal for the workers and companies because we cannot continue to be the people led by stupid people. we can't. as part of our plan to bring back jobs wit with a lowered frm 30% down to 15%.
9:26 pm
[cheering] we will also cut taxes for middle-class families by 35% and simplify taxes for all americans. we will be a rich nation once again but we must also be a safe country. hillary clinton unleashed ices onto the world you know that world. there are now 1,000 open investigations in the united states. on the campaign on the genocide against christians in the middle east or the nation of the cross. they are drowning and beheading their victims.
9:27 pm
this is something that we would read about in history books and not since medieval times have you heard all those things happening so we have no choice. we will stop isis. unlike what they've done in mosul which is turning out to be difficult, we are not getting three or four months notice. we are coming in. they are throwing people off buildings, hanging their victims. "the new york post" published reports about isis crushing children to death and burning adults alive. now she wants mass immigration
9:28 pm
from regions of the world where isis operates including a 550% increase in syrian refugees over and above the thousands and thousands that president obama has made. we don't want to isis in our country. the hillary refugee plan would leave us with generations of terrorism, radical lists and extremism inside our shores. i only want people that will support this country and love its people. [cheering] keeping our families safe is the highest obligation of the president of the united states. a trump administration is going to suspend immigration from that regiotheregions and we will suse security and refugee program.
9:29 pm
we are not going to take the risk when it comes to the american people no longer. so let me say this as clearly as i can if i am elected president, i'm going to keep radical islamic terrorism the hell out of our country. [cheering] [cheering] ..
9:30 pm
>> >> 100 percent. mexico in terms of the trade deficit their leaders who
9:31 pm
are doing a much smarter job buddie you know, what? are we happy with mexico? if we will have a relationship with mexico and china. we don't have good relationships now. we still don't get along. they are not even vice. they will be nice. thousands of americans have been killed by illegal immigrants right here in ohio 1/6 year-old son was murdered in cold blood earlier that day her killer shot another woman in the armed because she was with her children in a nearby park. police went to the crime scene authorities refuse to taken into custody. they said please to not let him not taking m. then there is the case of a
9:32 pm
90 year-old, a minnesota farmer who was brutally beaten by illegal immigrants and left to bleed to death. his body was found with his hands bound behind his back with the blunt force injury to his head. his killers have a criminal record but they did not meet the obama administration priority. others that new them were pleading don't let them out. to let them into our society . i have a message for the cartels in the drug dealers and the gang members. your long wave of crime and terror and horror will, to waive that her one negative
9:33 pm
very beautiful crashing end. [cheers and applause] we will also repealed the obama clinton defense cuts to refit -- rebuild the badly depleted military our air force is the smallest and all this has ever been i know what you have here you are good with wright-patterson? but we are depleted we will build modern state of the art planes that fly right out of patterson airforce base. we have a lot of veterans here today think you for your service and let them know ex-president i have your back. believe me.
9:34 pm
i have your back. she said make america a great again. we will. we will. don't worry it will take too long we will change the foreign policy of iraq and syria and libya through the middle east that is intolerable turmoil with the $6 trillion on wars in the middle east while our own country falls into total disrepair now with a conflict of a nuclear power this could very well lead to world war iii the way she talks she has no idea. she says wikileaks is russia and donald trump for i have nothing to do with that. made the donald trump is
9:35 pm
involved but the answer is no. she says donald trump and russia? she thinks so badly of putin and she uses that so i say heidi speak so badly with somebody? with and that the great if we got along with russia? and together we went after isis to knock the hell out of them? [cheers and applause] that she speaks very badly of putin. she should not be doing what she's doing. after wikileaks she has terrible instincts to all the americans i say it is time for new leadership.
9:36 pm
it really is time. [applause] can you imagine four more years of obama put together? [booing] high taxes, by regulation these companies cannot even breathe with their regulations. isis all over the place let me tell you there was no isis. she created a vacuum in iraq. and then call them jayvee or junior varsity. we will lock them so hard. they are not the jayvee and they were not then. to say we will get rid of isis percussion wants to go back.
9:37 pm
can you see where she got upset yesterday because i took two hours to cut a ribbon we built a the building under budget and ahead of schedule. she said donald trump got off the campaign trail. i have been doing 18p per day every single day she is hell sleeping half the time. she is definitely low energy. where was she after the last debate in the second debate? she was tired. she walked off the stage she had a lot of people around her which was marco everything will change and november. just think about what we can accomplish in the first 100 days.
9:38 pm

[cheers and applause] we will rebuild the military to take care of our veterans. [cheers and applause] we will support the truly great men and women of law-enforcement. [cheers and applause] i would say the second amendment which is under siege and b will appoint justices of the united states supreme court with the constitution of the united states. as to be told by politicians
9:39 pm
and that means another decade. to keep electing the same people over and over. if you keep doing that. menu are continuing to do the same. that you cannot find new solutions. i have a message for that. the future belongs to the dreamers not the cynics. [cheers and applause]
9:40 pm
i will not -- i will fight for every background of this nation from violence and poverty and fight for those inner-city is in the african-american community but those who have no job for no education and a savings. but not the donors or the special interest. i will fight to bring as altogether how that happens. if we started in working together? one people under one got and one america.

[cheers and applause] you have to get out and vote . it will be something special. i tell others this sometimes amazing group people the genius. but this will be one of the great and most important of your life that this is the most important vote to have never cast. >> our country does not win any more.

>> we are back continuing battleground series with four lauderdale this morning the ph.d. political science professor from south florida let's just are with why is florida a battleground state quite. >> >> it is a microcosm of the united states of america. grafton say our politics is imported from every and a part of the united states what america and other countries.
9:48 pm
ended more closely parallels thu with the race and ethnicity. and we're almost tied in terms of registered democrats and republicans. rest? no party affiliation just as in the past. >> the party registration is t near parity so what is the impact of that with the state's swinging back and f forth quite. >> the last three elections with the governor's race and the presidential contest the only carried florida by 1% that is how competitive the state is. 2012 alone when obama tested romney he barely beat a mitt
9:49 pm
romney that is highly competitive the grassroots is critical the swing voters are on the rise and a really explains why we have been inundated with television ads. >> and the electoral vote and what does that mean? >> 29 electoral college votes 27 house members a power house when it comes to the electoral college. feather barges state nowrgest with the same number as new york. a countersigned frankly a big state with a lot of electoral college and by far the most competitive california texas is ready york is blue florida is purple. >> where does the race stands now in florida? and adjust to show you how volatility is within the
9:50 pm
last two days we had one polka melt that shows trump plaza by two and another that shows hillary up byby three so take your pick so the bottom line is it is a toss up statistically this such an intense down right now to make sure that everybody's registered to vote so get out the vote is at a frenzied level right now and% early voting started this week in most counties everybody's reporting daily hominy has turned in their votes by mail or in person early and and, the real push this time has then to vote before the election day by both the parties in the campaigns because they can track who has voted to focus on those who haven't but also theor
9:51 pm
florida election supervisors the last thing that any supervisor gwine to our longa' lines on election day to keep florida's results from being affirmed for a couple days like 2012 so there is a plush everywhere to vote early in person or by mail. >> view are the swing voters and unaffiliated that could tip the balance for one of the candidates and? >> they are swinging for different reasons we know that many of them are younger voters and the millennial supreme 18 through 34 1/3 are registered with no party affiliation which explains why both parties are aiming their sights on the college
9:52 pm
campuses. but there also other independents better not party affiliate's with the libertarian or the green or the other minor parties.g thos and among those those setter disaffected of both parties and don't like either one for different reasons so the swing voters are all over the map but the largest concentrations in terms of, race and ethnicity there are larger shares which may make that 1516%. >> so the voters know that in the past that those who are reliably republican as
9:53 pm
they can vote either way but they tend to be conservative but that also have the o demographic of religion and how does that play out? >> religion is absolutely identical in fact, when i give presentations i have the chart that shows the makeup of florida high put that side-by-side by the nation at large it is absolutely perfect mirror with this change is from the last presidential election to be unaffiliated that is about 24 percent of the population and almost the same nationally it is the h young millenials frankly religion is not the key part of the discussion i think a lot of that has to do with
9:54 pm
the fact they are recognizing that the millenials or america is largest generation to becoming a powerhouse politically that religion is not a way to reach them and frankly in our state based on the survey released recently the number one issue here is the economy and jobs. so religion is taking a back seat to other demographics this time. you mentioned the cuban vote which in the past has been solidly republican and then it's usually but now the younger cubans are leaving more democratic see you cannot say the hispanic vote is all cuban are all republican because franklyca now the hispanics out number cubans they are mixed leaving more heavily towards the democrats and from

10:00 pm
because i mx military. i saw a college opinion to voice an opinion to say we are electing a president not a pastor of church.at said i am sure everyone back in history was george bush or dwight eisenhower, bill clinton down the line i am b sure we would hear stories that are very comparable to what we are hearing aboutes donald trott. it is 2016 it is not 1953. you have a different character with donald trump which i support holy. but then again i have to think about i am a liberal and die and they gave me an and with hillary clinton over the next eight years we will be replacing four supreme court justices. we will the liberal judges
10:01 pm
on the court so i am torn. i support the idea is the donald trump with hillary clinton and it will be more of the same but there really bothered me when we gave every and back that many they violated a world except in policy that you do not cross the line of american embassy i think they should have forfeited the money. >> to have less then two weeks when do think he will decide or how we make that decision?deci >> caller: i have made a decision but there is room for change double sides. it is a torn issue. i i like the man and unlike his ideas. 1/2 to worry about the supreme court justice.
10:02 pm
>> what is your reaction? >> absolutely every day speaking to various groups they are torn and they don't know how they will voteeally wa because people want to do the right thing if there's one common thing that i hear is i wish that this country could come back together that there is a healing of the horrible divide in this country but what they see with the to get dates that elsie is that coming together with at polarization that like some aspects but not the other. some people describe the election personality based verses' issues and that is one of the sea changes we have seen which has
10:03 pm
everybody asking is this the craziest election you have never seen? i have to say yes. pdf but many people are torn sty and if you do have a large number of military and family is and security issues are always a big concern and our state, we also have a sizable gain population increasingly very political with the politics and donation and height turnout groups. and i understand people like tim who are really conflicted and worried about the security of the country but at the same time worried about the supreme court. >> next from california good morning.ne >> caller: >> i think millenials willng
10:04 pm
take the state because this is a progressive florida state california they are young and knowledgeable andis invigorated that it isn't just educated whites but whites and blacks that will vote and florida to elect hillary clinton. it will be taken by the millenials is not the old guard. this is a new florida. >> as an academic i have to write about after election this suspended biggest change especially in 2016. to analyze the millenials 18 through 34 that we talked h earlier that people think he still have to come and into florida if you run into a large number of retirees talking about social
10:05 pm
security and medicare to win florida those days are gone. to of the and degeneration is millenials and gen x makeke up 50 percent of registered voters.y others are they're interested in the economy and jobs but that date question mark it is whether they will because many millenials do not like the two-party system of large portion wanted birdie sanders they are not as warm towards hillary and they don't necessarily like trump but how they voted the huge issue if they vote she would surely win that is why she is going to college campuses and her surrogates' as well h for her to bring in the surrogates. obama is absolutely a terrific surrogate for her
10:06 pm
and his wife, michele, but to the millenials especially the younger ones, the idea elect hillary just because she is a woman does not resonate. to many it is a key part of their lives so race is still seen as a bigger barrier of course, the older ones don't feel that way but they're not sure in terms of turnout aiming everything at thet college campuses. >> is there an effort to get them to vote early quick. >> guess. absolutely also a big push a to have them change their registration. absol
10:07 pm
i was in charge of one survey we survey election officials across the state and i would ask what is the common questions that people ask about? i could talk to groups across the state one of the biggest things the supervisors told me is they just don't know how to change their registration from one to another. that is one of the reasons they haven't voted they're still under the impression pdf but it is very easy toom change your registration and we currently live. the supervisors have tried to get out the message more but it is the mechanics. brand new voters brand new registrants needed that extra help and telling them
10:08 pm
where to go to war when we take it for granted their regular voters better still a little unsure and intimidated with the candidates and election people to make sure that they vote. >> because of hurricane matthew a federal judge in florida extended early voting passed october 18 going through october 2981 negative 29 to november november 5th over 120,000 people and take advantage of that so far. good morning. >> caller: good morning. i and the independent voterisis i was not invited to any of these parties but my main issue is power. we have amendment one coming up it is very important to
10:09 pm
choose my power company. for instance florida power light ones to force me to ruin lives in oklahoma by continuing cracking i would a rather pay for solar for florida with the candidate that addresses the power companies not giving us twice.bl that would bring that up o power bill down.ring i want to see a candidate power especially with theid senatorial race.o with the house speaker to have an opportunity and he completely ignored it kind of like the low water imagery from the last election they are ignoring. 1:00 p.m. to redress that actually. >> we have the u.s. senate debate here in fort lauderdale last night of course, it turned very
10:10 pm
quickly vh-1 pointing l. d. other's flaws rather than talking about issues like this. the environment is a big issue in florida and number floa two in the survey economy jobs number one environment number two. n people moved to florida because of the environmental aspects the beaches andri sunshine. they want to hear the candidates talk about the environment the course they are environmentally conscious generation that franking we found we found a large portion of floridians who don't even know what the term means so that meanss they will often help the group's for those that need to be addressed.
10:11 pm
climate change but in our state most importantly water related issues of the quantity and quality of water at the presidential level. it hasn't got inasmuch. >> that is the train the incumbent senator marco rubio who is running for his seat after losing in the presidential primary against patrick murphy and that debate you can go to our website and we did cover that debate.
10:12 pm
>> thanks for taking the time to hear from me. >> caller: that back-and-forth between the differences between hillary and donald we need to focuss like global property of ricans stabilize other regions that will bring jobs back care to the united states and also take the threat of terrorism big target areas where there is poverty there is a billion people that our hungry in h this world and that is from poverty your lack of clean water and diseases if we focus on that issue to bring security back to the united states and also help bringin
10:13 pm
jobs to help them come out of poverty and then they will become consumers to bring jobs here in the united states. >> certainly her argument ofus the global nature of the economy is something that is c absolutely true.onomy is but the problem is with the election like you have right now with the personal safety and security with all of the of random shootings redo have polls that show that prefer that emphasis be spent. that over half of americansopl''
10:14 pm
to let others take care of themselves. and to become isolationist but it is absolutely true that the auto world economy is intertwined is a global economy to say and then we will worry about the rest. i was republican 40 years. >> caller: i did not vote for bill clinton but when newt gingrich came in and accused him of everything you can think of so i watched this 30 years. i voted for hillary because i think with the donald trump and i would have voted
10:15 pm
for her any way i think she'll make a great president.ink she is going to ma gr pdf with part of my family we are divided right now. i hate that but i stilll think she is the best one i could not possibly vote for somebody who is as crude and swears with children in the audience i thinks he is terrible. >> what about your female friends and family? are they split? >> brcs but have far for hillary and have 44 trump just like my friends i have lost some friendships because of that. >> cow or win in florida reacting to the stories that
10:16 pm
came out? and then bragging taking actions against women? >> but it still is not a cohesive bloc of voters. but the point of the caller is how many people just cannot talk about this with people they have been friends or family with. this is the toxic nature of politics. so this tells us what we have come to and how many people say they were very upset if their child a married to someone from the opposite party. think of that. [laughter]
10:17 pm
pensacola good morning. >> caller: good morning.morning. i have a comment. i want to commend the lady who just got off the line. it is the same old nothing we have to know what it is. donald trump is a typical average american man.ever but did you talk about racial divide the voice of authority felt that way there is a lot of resentment in this nation for them to think the issues will hide tris. and wish we would come together as human beings to see that we do have a problem with the capability
10:18 pm
speaks for itself but.g >> i am voting for hillary for one reason. >> we heard your point let'st. hear from our guest.mp >> the racial divide and at some point can be resolved we with these from the survey that showed the biggest divide and our state in with the big problems from being solved by far the biggest divide was republicans versus democrats.s versus but this time out the racial
10:19 pm
and ethnic divide. this al we see this all over the country it has then exacerbated by the campaign and it is very distressingt, as to people who just want them to come together.ood pe how we come together, the viewpoints are extremely polarized. >> another caller. >> caller: i am concerned how they will boggy -- regulate fraudulent voting registration because we have seen that compound to the races that you would never believe. so how did they account 14d overload on the electionou system? that they cannot even get through the number of registrations? >> we have had a lot of late
10:20 pm
registrations because they said it could be extended by one week ended is the job of the supervisor so how can we possibly their file that?ly and every election seasonon there is always a local press that comes up with a story how they are voting in the state but also voting in florida.te, usua so that is not news it comess up every two or four years with elections and now with the late registrations that causes people to wonder about the integrity of the system but painfully i will assure the nation we no longer have hanging chad's.
10:21 pm
we do have paper ballots. we do have a good rules that we can track the balance. and that is people or equipment. everybody in the state is committed to make sure everyry vote counts. the last thing any thing florida once or any state to be the epicenter of the country for one month after the election.mo i don't see florida going there. really think the supervisors are doing a good job as best they can. >> you do not want to replay 2000. what are the of rules now for the mandatory recount? >> it is within a certain percentage is the automatic recounted even tighter meansut
10:22 pm
a recount the first is a sample precinct and then all of the returns are mandatoryandm if it is one-half of 1% is the trigger for the automatic recount. >> loss biggest you are up early in las vegas. >> caller: i always watch your show and i appreciate that. i am a member of a labor union that went up against the afl-cio we endorsed bernie sanders and i am also a pretty active on-line. and there are a lot of us millenials i know that they're not warming up to
10:23 pm
hillary clinton and will not vote for her in there pretty dead set on that. steichen see the chats' online and they're startingg to warm up to donald trump. they want to take this system down because it is corrupt. we talk about it and reseed the things of the democratic party. >> i want our guest to share her thoughts of the young people not trusting the system. >> absolutely. that verification of upic percentage penny that voted for amend the primary source caucasus and the turnout of the alleged deals -- millenials to have thelo
10:24 pm
history of young voting what is very alienating to them when they asked me how can we reach the voters? it is all about money. that bill full system seems corrupt of political age with the administration's and the alienation of thed system is very evident some of them mulch is johnson or stalling when the only focus on hillary clinton end to
10:25 pm
not be helpful. >> but that did not help bernie sanders and then not a third-party candidate?uggestio has not not helped states like florida? not whatsoever but there are older progresses those other ones that track all of the wikileaks especially when rebated to what they thought was the case. we don't know what percentage of democrats to
10:26 pm
go for the third-party candidate but what is making is so difficult is and all my years i don't believe i can ever recall there has ever been such a softness ofut opinions about voting and hutu '04 at -- whom to vote for more than any of their time in the past. and then that tracks back to the difficulty that they simply cannot predict turnout. >> good morning.er: now i am a traditional republican. p
10:27 pm
the point about population of what is over populated but reaching out to help people are around the world but my concern is when they double in asia or chinasouth before we know it, we will be double the population. how much more immigrants you can accept? that is a major concern we do have to have limits and protocols that these people probably need to follow. >> your not the immigration expert bill water yourt thoughts hell that means to the election? >> it is not cited it is
10:28 pm
only 5% as a major issue but in terms of basking floridians of the economy would best be improved at w the top of the list number three is the immigration issue. so to have torn feelings those who live here are immigrants my own grandfather was an immigrantmign but on the other hand, what uncontrolled immigration can do to the economy so it is a not as big of an issue so cubans have a special status
10:29 pm
immigration security and the economy. >> and talk about the ground game for each of these candidates.. where they sending their resources or time? who has a better ground game? they both need for that to get to that magic number quick. >> >> absolutely donald trump must have foreign aid cannot win without it. the u.s. senate seat is critical to whether she can have a senate controlled by the democrats or republicans.have . .
10:30 pm
as has donald trump albeit for different reasons.re hillary has come to the tampa market and again, the melanie mills and the older voters and hispanics. why did donald trump come a day before her, to reach the boat that is critical for the republican victory in our state. our suburban areas are filled with the lower income retirees not as much o the places that ae competitive where you have
10:31 pm
families and children and middle-aged an and younger population. so each of them is carefully choosing the areas of the state they need to ramp up the turnout. at the samthe same reason he wet augustine.ustine, and the key jacksonville market, and again a lot of republican. so, where they are going speaks volumes. where they are spending money on their ad to the get out the vott effort. it is true clinton has better surrogates and trump does it on his own. >> host: science professor university south florida, thank you very much. and we are back with a look at the sunshine state of florida. 29 electoral votes to forta andt lauderdale where the chair of the broward county democratic party and member of the
10:32 pm
democratic national committee'so executive board joins us from that city to talk about hillary clinton and the democratic party's campaign in florida. let's begin with what happened four years ago. h president obama won by less than 75,000 votes, less than 1% when the state had pretty much parody that more registered democrats in the 536,000. has hillary clinton been able to capture the coalition and the sa state? >> guest: i think she has. it's been a process because obama is a tough act to follow. we talk about melanie owes for a long time and he effortlessly connected with them. i think there's more momentum now that we are closing on the actual election day. to give you historical, he won
10:33 pm
by about a point, 70,000 or so. robert county is the largestor democratic county in the state.h the margin of victory was 255,000 votes. so, for us it's part of greater south florida, it's about the margin which trump tries to tam down but there is more enthusiasm here and i think there is genuine concern. the possibility of a trumpity of presidency. >> host: a recent article hillary clinton who many voters said won the debate hasn't persuaded the voters on key items such as the ability to fix the economy order that she understands regular people, few say that she can or does and only 37% feel she explained that the content of your e-mails below the mark on whether she would act with integrity and she
10:34 pm
failed to hit the mark whether she understands regular peoplee and whether she could fit the economy, 42%. what is your reaction to that?f >> i find it interesting where it doesn't relate to average people, she grew up in humble beginnings and donald trump didr not. he was giving money to start off like most people i ever met in my life. but what's interesting is we talk about the swing states that reflect why the race is so close.-- california, new york, texas, they go in a predictable manner. florida doesn't. they go back to the purple state although we do better in the presidential turnout. it's already up to 25 or 30
10:35 pm
years they've done a pretty good job. on the flipside, donald trump has done a good job of defining himself which has been pretty negative. so yes people have some concern with secretary clinton but at the end of the day. >> host: what do you think could take the difference for the campaign in florida, what would it be and where could that have been? >> guest: suburban women, moderate republicans. it will come down to two factors. how long is the turnout, and in the swing area from tampa to orlando to the east
