[cheers and applause]

the last thing: we need, my friends, to incite more fear. terror, america doesn't panic. we don't build walls, or turn our backs on our allies. we can throughout everything we know about what works, and what doesn't, and start torturing people. what donald trump, ted cruz, and others are suggesting is not only wrong, it is dangerous. it will not keep us safe. this is a time for america to , not cower. and we will lead. we will defeat terrorists threats.

[cheers and applause] hillary clinton: i want you to think about this. i know that the caucus on

saturday here in washington is an important milestone on this path to the nomination, and the election. i am well aware that we have to work hard between now and saturday to convince people in washington. what they answer to the next president's three big tests. this will be true whoever it is. number one, can you make a positive difference in the lives of americans? number twom can you keep us saf? can you bring us together instead of driving us apart? [cheers and applause] hillary clinton: i have given a lot of thought to this, because i know, having traveled across our country. really mattersm

to americans. start with the first, can you make a positive difference? a lot of folks ask me why are so many people who go to some of these rally so angry? are frustrated. a lot of people are worried. a lot of people feel that their best to days, and therefore our country's best days, are behind them. i want you to come a four minute, but yourselves in their mind. think back, we have the worst financial crisis since the great depression. 9 million americans lost their jobs. 5 million homes were lost. trillion in family wealth was wiped out. a lot of americans haven't recovered from that. a lot of americans haven't had a raise in 15 years.

a lot of americans worry that life is not going to be better for their kids. i want you to understand that. sometimes, when all we see is the ugliness of these protests, , we see-spiritedness people running to be president of the united states who are literally inciting bigotry and violence. it is easy to say -- i will not even pay attention to that. but we have got to reclaim the promise of america for all of our people. every single one of them. [cheers and applause] to me, thatton: starts for the more good jobs with rising income. it includes standing up for unions, and the american labor movement. [cheers and applause] it means moren: infrastructure jobs because it is not just what you see, the

roads, bridges, tunnels, it is what you don't see. it is the deteriorating water systems across america. it is the leaking pipelines across america. it is what we saw in flint, michigan. i horrible as that is, i wish could tell you it is the only place. but it is not. children, 500,000 a year are infected by lead poisoning. we've got work to do. it is important to work. it will put millions of americans to work. jobs,n't export those they have to be done right here in seattle, in washington, and across the united states. [cheers and applause] need moreinton: we manufacturing jobs. there are some who say we can't make things in america. t with the machinists, and the aerospace workers. [cheers and applause] yes, we canton:

make things better than anybody else can. but we have got to make sure that we change the incentives in our tax code, which unfortunately encourages people to move jobs out of our country. we're going to take that on, and make sure that we have advanced jobsacturing, and the good that come with it. we start by making sure the machinists and aerospace workers officer making the best, and doing the most advanced work of anybody in the world. [cheers and applause] hillary clinton: we're going to combat climate change with more clean, the new will energy jobs. [cheers and applause] hillary clinton: this is one of

the most consequential ideas facing us this election. this has to be a top global priority. if we don't fulfill it, it means nothing. it is just a piece of paper. we have work to do. i am proud of the work president obama did against implacable hostility from the republicans in congress. [cheers and applause] will build onn: i that work. but we have to go further. me big goals, i want half a million more solar panels by the end of my first term. [cheers and applause] hillary clinton: i want enough clean, renewable energy to power every home in america by the end of my second term. [cheers and applause]

we know how to: challenges in our country. it is time we start acting like it again. i am tired of the denial, the brothers, and the koch manipulation of our political process. [cheers and applause] as we grow our: economy, let's do more for small businesses, particularly young people to start small businesses. [cheers and applause] to thanklinton: i want your mayor, and everybody, fighting to raise the minimum wage in washington. [cheers and applause] hillary clinton: we need to raise it n the -- on the federal level. of all minimum wage workers are women, and let's finally guarantee equal pay for women's work. [cheers and applause]

hillary clinton: i am telling you what i'm going to do. we will do it together. that also goes for education. every child in this country deserves a good teacher and a good school regardless of the zip code that child lives in. [cheers and applause] as the mayoron: said, i want more early childhood education. i want to be a partner with today's teachers. i want you to know the president will be on your side as you do the work to get our kids the education they need. [cheers and applause] hillary clinton: i am also going to launch a campaign with your help, the help of our construction and trade unions, and others, to enhance more

apprenticeship programs to encourage more young people to go and seek the skills they need to be able to be employed. ne have made a grave error ik any way undermining the work that is done by carpenters, and plumbers, and machinists, and electricians, and welders. this is a work that is in demand across our country. we are to need more than a million people right now to fill these jobs. i want us to start doing this again in high schools, community colleges, and apprenticeship programs. that is why i want to make community college free so that young people can afford to get those skills. [cheers and applause] hillary clinton: then we will

make four-year colleges and universities debt free tuition to that you can afford to attend. [cheers and applause] hillary clinton: i do differ with my esteemed opponent who says free for everybody. i want to concentrate on middle-class families, working families, for families -- poor families. can afford to center child to college, like donald trump, we should not pay to send your child for free. [cheers and applause] areary clinton: then, we going to take on the problems of student debt affecting the lives of millions of young americans. [cheers and applause] islary clinton: this probably one of the most pressing problems that i encounter as a travel around. how many have student debt? ok, a huge majority.

huge, huge majority. this, doessk you anybody here have an interest rate higher than 10%? this is outrageous. 85? -- 8%? we haven't had interest rates that high ings years. you can refinance your mortgage and get a better deal. do aan financial car to better deal, corporations can refinance their debt. i like it possible for you to refinance your student debt. down.t that interest rate [cheers and applause] hillary clinton: then i want to switch as many into income contingency repayment programs.

you know what that is? when i graduated from law school, i didn't have any help going to school, i had to work and borrow money. i came out with the debt. but my husband and i were in a contingency repayment program. we paid it back as a percentage of our income. i could go to work for the children's defense fund right out of law school, which was a job i wanted to do. i think i made $14,000 a year and i couldn't hit my debt back at a percentage. i want everyone of you do have that chance. furthermore, i want a date certain when your obligation and's. [cheers and applause] -- ends. [cheers and applause] hillary clinton: when i think about health care, tell you this.

nurses are on the front lines of education. they see what happened in so many different families and settings. when we were in the hospital with my daughter when she had our granddaughter. i was talking to one of the nurses, they said so many of the mothers in here don't have any time off. they don't have earned sick days, don't have paid family leave, they can't afford to take unpaid leave under the family and medical leave act that my husband signed into law. a big impression on me. the nurses see everything. leave, have paid family we will have earned sick days, --

[no audio]

hillary clinton: we're going to defend the affordable care act, where going to improve it. we'll take on the prescription drug companies. -- then will make progress in health care. [cheers and applause] we're going to: get universal health care coverage. there is a big agenda for us. i want you to be a part of that. secondly, we have to keep ourselves safe.

something i'm committed to. it is not only about stopping terrorist attacks, although clearly that has to be the front of mine. i will do everything i can to have the kind of safety working with our friends in europe and others to defeat isis to create a chance of for everybody to get out from under the threat that terrorism poses. here is what i want to say. donald trump and ted cruz have -- [crowd shouts boos] hillary clinton: have made our job harder in the last few days. donald trump says we need to get out of nato, the most important defense alliance there has ever been. this ando modernize make it ready to deal with the threats of today, including terrorism and that is exactly what i will do as president and

ted cruz, who said we need to be policing everywhere that muslims live, i don't know about you. [crowd boos] hillary clinton: that is not only offensive. that too is dangerous because we want everybody to feel like we are together on our common defense against terrorism. [cheers] so, rememberon: when you go to caucus and your friends go to caucus on saturday, this is about not only selecting a president, but also selecting a commander in chief. and we need to be sure that we handshose smart, steady because we are going to face a lot of challenges, but also opportunities that the united states has to lead on. and finally, the third test. can you bring our country

together instead of dividing it? [cheers and applause] hillary clinton: well, i feel so strongly that this may be one of the most important issues, not just for the president, but for all of us. i read an interesting article the other day. the man writing it said, we now get along with people who differ from us on nearly everything but politics. look at the progress we have made on civil rights, on women's rights, on gay rights, on all of the toughest issues. but when it comes to politics we don't want to talk to each other. we want to draw lines. now, i believe we have to seek and find common ground wherever possible. [cheers and applause] hillary clinton: i also believe we have to stand our ground on important matters of principle and value. our nation beet

divided. we can't let a demagogue incite violence. model for our children the kind of bullying behavior that honestly you'd send somebody to timeout if you were in elementary school. [cheers and applause] hillary clinton: i feel that each of us has a role to play in this. i have been saying, we need more love and kindness and respect in america right now. [applause] hillary clinton: that doesn't mean we agree with people who have a very different set of political abuse, just for the sake of the grain. -- for the sake of agreeing. how to let's figure out work towards some potential outcome that would be good for our country. lady, after wet lost the health care fight,

because remember before it was called obamacare it was lled "hillarycare" and it took on the drug companies. [cheers and applause] hillary clinton: what we understood is that we had to k eep working. you could not get it all at once. i went to work to get the children's health insurance program and tonight before coming out here, i had a young man say to me -- this was a long time ago in the late 1990's, asiaancient history. he said, i want to thank you because you saved my family from bankruptcy because of the children's health program. i couldn't have done that ifb we had not worked with republicans, if we hadn't thought, and ground commoner -- hadn't sought ground together. [cheers and applause] hillary clinton: as i got this campaign, i am going to stand up for what i believe, i am going to fight for the issues in the plans i think will help move our country forward, but i will

always say, i will go anywhere, anytime to me with anyone to find that common ground. [cheers and applause] hillary clinton: if there is can-faith then maybe we make progress, maybe not as much as i would like, but enough that we can solve the problems of some americans. that is what we have to start doing again. we have to be able to point to the results that make people's lives better. we have to be able to lift each other up, not put people down because they disagree with us, or they don't have the right to say what they say. you know, when you go to the caucuses on saturday, i hope that you will, and everybody you talk with, really think about the kind of consequences and the stakes of the selection, but also how far we have come together. i am proud of the progress we have made in america. i am proud of the rights we have extended to people.

i am proud that we have so much has madely a made a a difference in the lives of not just americans, but the people over the world. i went to 112 countries when i was secretary of state. [cheers and applause] hillary clinton: i saw that even when countries disagreed with us, they watched us. how they wondered what we did what we did in this big, brawling country of ours. how we held it together. how we made progress. i was always so proud. lose that.r want to i want us to continue to make progress. i want us to continue to seize the future, make it what it can be. i particularly believe that on behalf of our children. here in, our volunteers washington prove each and every day why i believe in what i'm doing. and why i know that together we

can make the difference is i am talking about. oldian ellis, just 14 years , skipped a sleepover with her friends to get trained as a caucus captain here in seattle. [cheers and applause] jonathan andon: and a son, have been knocking on doors in kirkland for weeks. maria, an immigrant from ecuador who dreams of becoming an american citizen, has been volunteering 20 hours a week for us.

havana is only: 90 miles from florida. but to get here we have to travel a great distance. over barriers of history and ideology, barriers of pain and a separation. the blue waters beneath air force one once carried american battleships to the silent. to liberate, but also to exert control over cuba. ters also carry generations of the cuban revolutionaries to the united states, where they built support for their cause. and that short distance has been crossed by hundreds of thousands of cuban exiles, who came to america in pursuit of freedom and opportunity, sometimes leaving behind everything they owned and every person that a lot. -- that they loved. like so many people in both of

our countries, myifetime has spanned a time of isolation between us. the cuban revolution took place the same year that my father came to the united states from kenya. thebay of pigs took place ear i was born. the next year the world held its breath while watching our countries as emitted he came as ofse as it ever has before nuclear -- as it ever has to the horror of nuclear war. as the decades went by we settled into a seemingly endless confrontation. in a world that remade itself time and time and again, one constant was the conflict between the united states and

cuba. i have come here to bury the last remnent of the cold war in the americas. [applause] president obama: i have come here to extend the hand of friendship to the cuban people. [applause] president obama: i want to be clear. the differencebetween our governments over these many years are real and important. i am sure president castro would say the same thing. i know because i have heard him address those differences at length. but before i discuss those issues, we also need to recognize how much we share. because in many ways, the united states and cuba are like two been estrangedve

for many years, even as we share the same blood. we both live in a new world, colonized by europeans. cuba, like the united states, was built in part by slaves brought here from africa. --e the nodded states, the like the united states, cuban people can trace their heritage to slaves and slaveowners. we have welcomed both immigrants who came a great distance to .tart new lives in the americas over the years our cultures have blended together. andcarlos worked in cuba paved the way for generations of doctors, including walter reed, who drew on dr. finlay's work to combat yellow fever. justice martin wrote some of his famous words in new york and artist hemingway found inspiration in the cuban waters.

[applause] president obama: our greatest boxer, mohammed ali, once paid tribute to a cuban he could never fight saying he would only be able to reach a drop with the great cuban, stephenson. [applause] even as ourama: governments became adversaries, our people continue to share these common passions, particularly as so many cubans in miami orica -- havana, you can find places to

dance the cha cha cha or the salsa. people in both of our countries now listen to reggae or pitbull. millions of our people listen to religion, which i paid tribute to. theall of our differences, cuban and american people share common values in their own lives. a sense of patriotism and a sense of pride, a lot of pride. family, a love of a passion for our children, a commitment to their education. that is why i believe our grandchildren will look back on thsi period of isolation as

one chapter in a longer story of family and friendship. we cannot, and should not, ignore the very real differences we have about how we organize our governments, economies, and our societies. cuba has a one party system. the united states is a multiparty democracy. cuba has a socialist economic model. the united states is an open market. cuba has emphasized the role and rights of the state. the united states is founded upon the rights of the individual. despite these differences, on december 17, 2014, president castro and i announced the net states and cuba would begin a process to normalize relations between our countries. [laughter] -- [applause]

president obama: since then, we have established diplomatic relations and opened embassies. tohave begun initiatives quote rate on health and agriculture, education and law enforcement. we have reached agreements to restore direct flights and mail service. increased the capacity of americans to travel and do business in cuba. and these changes have been welcomed, even though there are still opponents to these policies. many people on both sides of this debate have asked, why now? why now? there is one simple answer. states was doing was not -- what did the united states was doing was not working. a have to have the courage to knowledge that truth. a policy of isolation designed

for the cold war made little sense in the 21st century. the embargo was only hurting the cuban people, instead of helping them. i have always believed in what martin luther king jr. called "the fierce urgency." we should not fear change, we should embrace it. [applause] president obama: that leads me to a bigger and more important reason for these changes. people.e in the cuban [applause] president obama: this is not just a policy of normalizing relations with the cuban government. is united states of america normalizing relations with the cuban people. [applause] and today iama:

want to share with you my vision of what the future can be. i want the cuban people, especially the young people, to understand why i believe you should look to the future with hope. not a false promise that insist that things are better than we nor the blind optimism that says all of your problems can go away tomorrow. the future you can choose and you can shape and you can build for your country. i am hopeful because i believe the cuban people are as innovative as any people in the world. in a global economy powered by ideas and information, a country's greatest asset is its people. states, we have a clear monument as to what the cuban people can build. it is called miami. here in havana we see that same talent.

we see them in cooperatives and old cars that still run. el cuba inventa. [applause] president obama: cuba has an extraordinary resource, a system of education which values every boy and every girl. [applause] president obama: in recent years, the cuban government has begun to open up to the world and open up more space for that talent to thrive. how few years we have seen they can succeed while sustaining a uniquely cuban spirit. being self-employed is not about becoming more like america. it is about being yourself.

at -- [speaking spanish] she chose to start a small business. cuba she said, can adapt without losing our identity. our secret is simply being ourselves. whose successer allowed him to improve conditions in his neighborhood. i realize i am not going to solve all of the problems of the world, but if i consult problems in the little piece of the world where i live, it can ripple across the world. that is where hope begins. with the ability to earn your own living and to build something you can be proud of. that is why our policies focus on supporting cubans, instead of hurting them. that is why we got rid of limits on remittances, so ordinary

cubans have more resources. that is why we are encouraging travel, which will build bridges between our people and bring more revenue to those cubans all businesses. the is why we have opened up space for commerce and exchanges, so americans and to findan work together yours for diseases and create jobs and open the door to more opportunity for the cuban people. as president of the united states, i have called on our congress to lift the embargo. [applause] president obama: it is an outdated burden on the cuban people. it is a burden on the americans who want to work and do business here in cuba. time. but even if we lifted the

embargo tomorrow, cubans would not realize their potential without continued change here in cuba. [applause] president obama: it should be easier to open a business here in cuba. a worker should be able to get a job directly with companies who invest here in cuba. two currencies should not separate the type of salary cubans can earn. the internet should be available across the island, so cubans can connect to the wider world, and to one of the greatest engines of growth in human history. [applause] president obama: there is no limitation on the net the tapes of the ability -- there is no limitation on behalf of the united states to help people take these steps. sustainable prosperity in the 21st century depends on education, health care, and environmental protection, but it

also depends on the free and open exchange of ideas. if you can't access information online, if you cannot be exposed to different points of view, you will not reach your full thential and overtime, youth will lose hope. i know these issues are sensitive, especially coming from an american president. before 1959, some americans saw cuba as something to exploit, ignored poverty, enabled corruption. and a sense not to nine, we have been shadow boxes in this battle of geopolitics and personalities. i know the history, but i refuse to be trapped by it. [applause] president obama: i have made it

clear that the united states has much of the intention to impose change on cuba. what changes come will depend upon the cuban people. we will not impose our political or economic system on you. we recognize that every country, every people must shape its own model. but having removed the shadow of history from our relationship, i must speak honestly about the things that i believe. the things that we as americans believe. liberty is the right of every man to be honest, to think and to speak without hypocrisy. so, let me tell you what i believe. i can't force you to agree. but you should know what i think. i believe that every person should be equal under the law.

[applause] every childama: deserves the dignity that comes with education, and health care, and food on the tabl and a roof over their heads stop [applause] i believe citizens should be free to speak their mind without fear. [applause] president obama: to organize and to criticize their government and to protest peacefully, and that the rule of law should not include arbitrary detentions of people who exercise those rights. [applause] i believe every person should have the freedom to practice their faiths peacefully and publicly. [applause] president obama: and yes, i believe voters should be able to choose their governments in free and democratic elections. [applause] not everybodya: agrees with me on this. not everybody agrees with of the american people on this, but i

believe those human rights are universal. [applause] i believe they: are the rights of the american people, the cuban people, and people around the world. now, there's no secret that our governments disagree on many of these issues. i've had frank conversations with president castro. hasmany years, he pointed out the flaws in the american system. economic inequality, the death penalty, racial discrimination, wars abroad. that's just a sample. he has a much longer list. [laughter] here is whatma: the cuban people need to understand. i welcome this open debate and dialogue. it is good. it is healthy. i'm not afraid of it. we do have too much money in american politics, but in america, it's still possible for somebody like me, a child who was raised by single mom, a child of mixed race who did not have a lot of money to pursue and achieve the highest office

in the land. that is what is possible in america. [applause] president obama: we do have challenges with racial bias in our communities and criminal justice system and our society, the legacy of slavery and segregation. but the fact that we have open debates within america's own democracy is what allows us to get better. in 1959, the year that my father moved to america, it was illegal for him to marry my mother, who was white, in many american states. when i first started school, we were still struggling to desegregate schools across the american south. but people organized. they protested. they debated these issues, they challenged government officials. and because of those protests

and because of those debates and because of popular mobilization, i'm able to stand here today as an african american and as president of the united states. that was because of the freedoms that were afforded in the united states, that we were able to bring about change. i'm not saying this is easy. there's still enormous problems in our society. but democracy is the way that we solve them. that's how we got health care for more of our people. that's how we made enormous gains in women's rights and gay rights. it's how we addressed the inequality that concentrates so much wealth at the top of our society, because workers can organize and ordinary people have a voice. american democracy has given our people the opportunity to pursue their dreams and enjoy a high standard of living will stop [applause] president obama: there are still

some tough fights. it isn't always pretty, the process of democracy. it is often frustrating. you can see this in the election going on back home. but just stop and consider this fact about the american campaign that's taking place right now. you had two cuban americans in the republican party running against the legacy of a black man who was president while arguing that they're the best person to beat the democratic nominee, who will either be a woman or a democracy socialist. -- or a democratic socialist. [laughter] president obama: it would have believed that back in 1959? that is a measure of our progress as a democracy. here is my message to the cuban government and the cuban people.

the ideals that are the starting point for every revolution -- 'serica's revolution, cuba tionbel mov movements around the world. those ideals find their truest expression, i believe, in democracy. not because american democracy is perfect, but precisely because we're not. and we, like every country, need the space that democracy gives us to change. it gives individuals the capacity to be catalysts, to think in new ways and to reimagine how our society should be, and to make them better. and there's already an evolution taking place inside of cuba, a generational change. many suggested that i come here and ask the people of cuba to tear something down. but i'm appealing to the young people of cuba who will lift something up, build something new.

[applause] [speaking spanish] [applause] president obama: and to president castro, who i appreciate being here today. i want you to know, i believe my visit here demonstrates that you do not need to fear a threat from the united states. and given your commitment to cuba's sovereignty and self-determination, i'm also confident that you need not fear the different voices of the cuban people and their capacity to speak and assemble and vote for their leaders. in fact, i am hopeful for the future because i trust the cuban people will make the right decisions. and as you do, i'm also confident that cuba can continue to play a important role in the hemisphere and around the globe. and my hope is, is that you can do so as a partner with the united states.

we've played very different roles in the world. but no one should deny the service that thousands of cuban doctors have delivered for the poor and suffering. [applause] president obama: last year, american health care workers and the u.s. military worked side by side with cubans to save lives and stamp out ebola in west africa. i believe we should continue that kind of cooperation in other countries. we've been on the different side of so many conflicts in the americas, but today, americans and cubans are sitting together at the negotiating table and we are helping the colombian people resolve the civil war that has dragged on for decades. [applause] president obama: that kind of

cooperation is good for everybody. it gives everyone in this hemisphere hope. we took different journeys to our support for the people of south africa in ending apartheid, but president castro and i could both be there in johannesburg to pay tribute to the legacy of the great nelson mandela. [applause] president obama: and in examining his life and his words, i am sure we both realized we both have more to do to promote equality in our own countries, to reduce discrimination based on race in our own countries. and in cuba, we want our engagement to help lift up the cubans who are of african descent, who have proven there is nothing they cannot

achieve when given the chance. [applause] president obama: we have been a part of different blocks of nations in the hemisphere and we will continue to have profound differences about how to promote peace, security, opportunity, and human rights, but as we normalize our relations, i believe it can help foster a greater sense of unity in the americas. [speaking spanish] [applause] president obama: from the beginning of my time in office, i have urged the people of the americas who leave behind the ideological battles of the past. we are in a new era. i know that many of the issues that i've talked about lack the drama of the past, and i know that part of cuba's identity is its pride in being a small island nation that could stand up for its rights and shake the world. but i also know that cuba will always stand out because of the

talent, hard work, and pride of the cuban people. that's your strength. [applause] cuba doesn'tma: have to be defined by being against the united states, any more than the united states should be defined by being against cuba. and i'm hopeful for the future, because of the reconciliation that's taking place among the cuban people. you know, i know that for some cubans on the island, there may be a sense that those who left somehow supported the old order in cuba. i'm sure there's a narrative that lingers here, which suggests that cuban exiles ignored the problems of pre-revolutionary cuba and rejected the struggle to build a new future. but i can tell you today that so many cuban exiles carry a memory

of painful and sometimes violent separation. they love cuba. a part of them still considers this their true home. that's why their passion is so strong, and that's why their heartache is so great. and for the cuban american community that i've come to know and respect, this is not just about politics. this is about family, the memory of a home that was lost, the desire to rebuild a broken bond, the hope for a better future, the hope for return and reconciliation. for all of the politics, people are people, and cubans are cubans. and i've come here, i've traveled this distance on a

bridge that was built by cubans on both sides of the florida straits. i first got to know the talent and passion of the cuban people in america. and i know how they have suffered more than the pain of exile. they also know what it's like to be an outsider and to struggle, and to work harder to make sure that their children can reach higher in america. the reconciliation of the cuban people, and three children and the grandchildren of revolution, and the children and grandchildren of exile, that is fundamental to cuba's future. [applause] president obama: you see it in gloria gonzalez, who traveled timein 2013 for the first after 62 years of separation and was met by her sister, llorca.

"you recognized me, but i didn't recognize you," gloria said after she embraced her sibling. imagine that after 61 years. you see it in melinda lopez, who came to her family's old home. and as she was walking the streets, an elderly woman recognized her as her mother's daughter and began to cry. she took her into her home and showed her a pile of photos that included melinda's baby picture, which her mother had sent 50 years ago. melinda later said, "so many of us are now getting so much back." in christian miguel, who became the first of his family to travel here after 50 years. and meeting relatives for the first time, he said, "i realize that family is family no matter

the distance between us." sometimes, the most important changes start in small places. the tides of history can leave people in conflict, and exile and poverty. it takes time for those circumstances to change, but the recognition of a common humanity, the reconciliation of people bound by blood and a belief in one another, that's where progress begins. understanding, and listening and forgiveness. and if the cuban people face the future to gather, it will be more likely that the young people of today will be able to live with dignity and achieve their dreams right here in cuba. the history of the united states and cuba encompass revolution and conflict, struggle and sacrifice, retribution and now

reconciliation. it is time now for us to leave the past behind. it is time for us to look forward to the future together. [speaking spanish] president obama: it won't be easy. there will be setbacks. it will take time. but my time here in cuba renews my hope and confidence in what the cuban people will do. we can make this journey as friends and as neighbors and as family, together. si se puede. muchos gracias. thank you.

0 netanyahu: good morning, america. good morning aipac. and good morning to the 4000 students cutting class today to be with us in washington. greetings to all of you from jerusalem. i want to first send my condolences to the families of those murdered in today's terrorist attacks in brussels. parisain of attacks from tanbul bernardino, to is to the ivory coast, and now to brussels, and the daily attacks in israel, this is one continuous assault on all of us. in all these cases, the terrorists have no resolvable grievances. it is not as if we could offer them brussels or istanbul or

california or even the west bank. that won't satisfy their grievances. because what they seek is our utter destruction and their total domination. their basic demand is that we should simply disappear. well my friends, that's not going to happen. the only way to defeat these terrorists is to join together and fight them together. that's how we will does the terrorism. terrorism.ill defeat with political unity and with moral clarity. i think we have that in abundance.

and i want to thank today the leadership of aipac and each and every one of you, i thank you for the tremendous support you have provided israel over so many years. i thank you for the clear and unequivocal stand you took last iranduring the nuclear deal debate, a debate critical for israel's security. that debate, though intense, did not undermine the unbreakable alliance between israel adn thne united states. as part of that great alliance, america has generously provided israel with many of the tools we need to defend ourselves.

we are working on a new agreement to help with israel's security in the years to come. i hope we can finish the agreement soon. take this opportunity once again to think president obama for his support, including -- forty missile defense ballistic missile defense. israel deeply appreciates it and thelso deeply appreciate strong, bipartisan support for congress and the strong support for israel among the american people. year, ther th overwhelming majority of americans stand with israel.

they know something profound that stands out for all to see today. they know that israel is an island of liberty and democracy and stability in the sea of and instability us. surrounds that is why i believe that israel must never be an issue that divides america, but a great cause of liberty that unites americans. ago i went two weeks in northern israel. thats there 2000 years ago the romans began their military campaign against the jews.

i'm holding in my hand right now an exact replica of an arrow fou nd there, one of thousands used by the romans in their wa to r to crush tuition abundance. crush jewish independence. yet two millennia later, jewish people are free in our own sovereign nation. and in rebuilding our land, our state, our economy, our army, our science, our culture, we have achieved remarkable is true webut it have also faced great challenges. we are in fact today, when a two contradictory

trends. first, the positive trend. every day, high-level delegations land in the airport. they come from america and the comfort europe and increasingly, they come from asia, from africa, from latin america. as many of them confront the rise of militant islam, and it's accompanying terrorism, they come to israel to strengthen their security. they wish to learn forrom israel's proven security and intelligence capabilities how to better protect their own people. but they also come to israel because they want to upgrade their economies with israel's technology and for good reason. israel's know how is powering the world's computers, navigating its cars, protecting

its bank accounts. has led to a breakthrough in treating multiple sclerosis, parkinson's, alzheimer's. it helps farmers around the world yield more crops, produce more milk, and serve warm water. so far all these reasons, the world is coming to israel. have -- today we have diplomatic relations with 161 countries, more than at any time in our history. by the way, there are not that many countries left. there are only about 200 countries in the world. but alongside this positive trend there is a second negative trend. rael is embraced by a growing number of individual nations, there are those who

seek to malign israel among the nations. and especially, among the united nations. at the u.n., israel, and the middle east is slandered like no other country on earth. israel is subjected to consistent systematic discrimination. only israel is permanently scheduled for condemnation at the u.n. human rights council, not iran, not syria, not north korea. only israel is hounded by human u.n. bodies. isreal is condemned every year by 20 hostile resolutions in at the u.n. general assembly. the u.n., my friends, has a shameful record of condemning israel.

i have a question for you. why would anyone think that the and could decide an affair secure peace for israel? yet amazingly, there are some who believe exactly that. they seek to impose terms on israel in the u.n. security council and those terms would undoubtedly be stacked against us. they always are. so, such an effort in the u.n. would only convince the palestinians that they can stab their way to a state. mind you, not a state next to israel, but a state instead of israel. a security council resolution to pressure israel would further

harden palestinian positions and thereby, it could actually kill the chances of peace for many m any years. and that is why i hope the united states will maintain its long-standing position to reject such a u.n. resolution. i was glad to hear the presidential candidates from both parties reaffirm this basic principle. won't come through u.n. security council resolutions, but through direct negotiations between the parties. the best formula for achieving twoe remains two states for peoples, in which a demilitarized palestinian state finally recognizes the jewish

state. now, i know there's some skepticism about my views on this. so let me state unequivocally, and here's the acid test -- i am ready to begin such negotiations immediately, without preconditions, anytime, anywhere. that's a fact. but president abbas is not ready to do so. that's also a fact.
