possession i found magnetic. after the class, i thought her out intending to introduce myself. i got close enough to touch her back but i couldn't do it. somehow, i knew this would not be just another tap on the shoulder, that i might be starting something i couldn't stop. times theseveral more next few days but still didn't speak to her. then one night in the law library talking to a classmate who wanted me to join the yale law journal, he said it would guarantee me a job at a big firm or a clerkship with a federal judge. i just wanted to go home to arkansas. [cheers] againi saw the girl

standing at the opposite end of that long room. finally, she was staring back at me. so, i watch her. she closed her book, put it down, and started walking toward me. of walked the whole length the library, came up to me and said "look, if you are going to keep staring at me -- [laughter] " we at least ought to know each other's name. i'm hillary, who are you?" [cheers] surprisedmpressed and , that whether you believe it or not, momentarily, i was speechless. [applause] finally, i sort of a blurted out my name and we exchanged a few words and she went away.

well, i didn't join the long review but i did leave that library with a whole new goal in mind. a couple days later, i saw her again wearing a long, white, flour skirt and i went up to her and she said she was going to register for classes for the next term. i said i would go also. we sit in line and talk. you have to do that back then. doing prettyas well until we got to the front of the line and the registrar looked up and said "bill, what are you doing here, you registered this morning." i turned red and she laughed that big laugh of hers and i said since my cover has been blown, i asked her to take a walk down to the art museum. we have been walking, talking,

laughing together ever since. [cheers and applause] and we have done it in good times, through joy and heartbreak. we cried together this morning on the news that our good friend and a lot of your good friends passed away early this morning. we built up a lifetime of memories. after the first month and that first walk, i drove her home to park ridge, illinois. [cheers] to meet her family and see the town where she grew up, a perfect example of post-world war ii middle-class america. street after street of nice houses, great schools, big perks. -- parks.

and almost all white. family, hered her crusty, conservative father, her rambunctious brothers, all of stealing the virtue of rooting for the theirs and the cubs. -- bears and the cubs. they even told me what wedding for next year meant. [laughter] different.her was a she was more liberal. she had a childhood that made mine look like a piece of cake. underestimateo with her soft manner and she reminded me all over again that you should never judge a book by its cover. killing her was one of the greatest gifts a hillary ever gave me --

knowing her was one of the greatest gifts hillary ever gave me. don jones took her downtown to chicago to hear martin luther king speak and he remained her friend for the rest of his life. this will be the only campaign of hers he ever missed. it compelled her to change parties and become a democrat. [applause] and laween college school, she went to alaska. more to the point, by the time i met her she had already been in the law school's legal services project and have been influenced by mary right angle men -- angle

men interviewing workers in migrant camps. she had also begun working in the yell new haven hospital to suspectedocedures for child abuse cases. she got so involved in children's issues that she actually took the next year in law school working at the child studies of center to learn what more could be done to improve the lives and futures of poor children. [applause] she was are determined to figure out how to make things better. hillary opened my eyes to a whole new world of public .ervice by private citizens in the summer of 1972, she went

to alabama to visit one of those segregated academies. -- n't they claim federal tax exemptions to which they were not legally entitled. she was sent to prove they weren't. she soldered into one of these academies by hearst will pretending to be a housewife .hat just moved to town they exchange pleasantries and finally, she said let's get to the bottom line. son in thismy school, will he be in a segregated school? the guy said "absolutely." she had him. her encounterand was part of a report that gave mary enright the force they needed to take those tax

exemptions away and give our kids the chance at an equal education. [cheers and applause] texas,e went down south where she met -- [cheers] she met one of the nicest fellows i ever met, franklin garcia, and he helped her register mexican-american voters. i think some of them are still around to vote for her in 2016. [applause] in lawour last year school, hillary kept up this work. she went to south carolina to see why so many young african-american boys -- i mean young teenagers -- were being jailed for years with adults in men's prisons.

she filed a report on that, which led to some changes too. always making things better. [applause] meanwhile, let's get back to business. i was trying to convince her to marry me. [laughter] i first proposed to her on a trip to great britain, the first time she'd ever been overseas. we were on the shoreline of this wonderful lake. i asked her to marry me and she said "i can't do it." [laughter] in 1974, i went home to teach in law school and hillary moved to onsachusetts to keep working children's issues. this time, trying to figure out why so many kids counted in the census weren't enrolled in school. she found one of them sitting alone on her porch in a wheelchair.

once more, she filed a report about these kids and that helped influence ultimately the congress to adopt the proposition that children with disabilities, physical or otherwise, should have equal access to public education. [cheers and applause] the result of that last night when anastasia talked. [applause] she never made fun of people with disabilities. she tried to empower them based on their ability. [applause] i was still trying to get her to marry me. [laughter] the second time i ask, i tried

differently. i said "i really want you to marry me but you shouldn't do it." she smiled and looked at me like what is he up to. she said that is not a good sales pitch. i said i know but it's true. and i meant it. i said "i know most of the young our age whoe age -- want to go into politics, they mean well and they speak well but none of them is as good as you are and actually doing things to make positive changes in people's lives." [applause] suggested she go home to illinois or moved to new york and look for a chance to run for office. are youghed and said " out of your mind, no one would vote for me." i finally got her to come visit me in arkansas.

, the people at the law school were so impressed, they offered her a teaching position. she decided to take a huge chance. ,he moved to a strange place more rural, costly conservative than anywhere she had been. she knew good and well people were wondering what in the world she was like and whether they could or should accept her. didn't take them long to find out what she was like. she loved her teaching. she got frustrated when one of her students said "what do you expect, i'm just from arkansas." she said "you just have to believe in your self and work for it and set high goals." she believed anyone could make it. [applause] she also started the first legal aid clinic in northwest arkansas. [applause] providing legal aid services to poor people who couldn't pay for

them. one day, i was driving her to the airport to fly back to chicago when we pass this little brick house that had a for-sale sign on it and she said "that's a pretty house." it had 1100 square feet, and attic fan and no air conditioner , and a screened in porch. hillary commented on what a uniquely designed and beautiful house it was. so i took a big chance. i bought the house. [laughter] my mortgage was $175 a month. picked herme back, i up and said you remember that house you like? i said while you were gone, i thought it and you have to marry me now. [laughter] the third time was the charm. [cheers and applause]

in that little house on october 11, 1975. i married my best friend. after more in awe than four years of being around her at how smart and strong and loving and caring she was and i really hope that her choosing me and rejecting my advice to pursue her own career was a decision she would never regret. a little over a year later, we moved to little rock when i became attorney general and she joined the oldest law firm west of the mississippi. she started the arkansas advocate for family and children.

it's a group that is still active today. in 1979. [cheers and applause] in 1979, just after i became a health i joined committee to help expand health care to isolated mountain areas. they recommended to do that partly by deploying trained nurse practitioners in places with no doctors to provide primary care. , highly big deal then controversial and very important. that whatthe feeling she did for the rest of her life, she was doing there, she went out and figured out what would help people and if it was controversial, she just tried to

persuade people it was the right thing to do. [applause] it wasn't the only big thing that happened last spring. we found out we were going to be parents. [applause] and time passed. on february 20 7, 1980, 15 minutes after i got home from the national governors conference in washington, hillary's water broke and off we went to the hospital. chelsea was born just before midnight. [cheers and applause] it was the greatest moment of my life. the miracle of a new beginning. my own father died the for i was born. -- before i was born. and the absolute conviction that

my. or had the best mother -- daughter had the best mother in the whole world. through nursing school, soccer,rten, t-ball, ballet, and chelsea's own ambitious excursions, from halloween ,arties in the neighborhood hillary first and foremost was a mother. she came as a often said our families designated worrier. born with an extra responsibility gene. we rarely disagreed on parenting although she did believe that i had gone a little over the top when i took a couple days off with chelsea to watch all six

police academy movies back to back. i was defeated in a reagan landslide and i became overnight the youngest governor in the history of the country. hillary was great. immediately she said here is what we are going to do. -- e-house, a job you will get a job, and if you want to run again you have to go talk to people and figure out why you lost and show them you still have good ideas. within two days we had a house. i soon had a job. we had two fabulous years with chelsea and in 1980 two i became the first governor in the

history of our state to become elected again. experience is, it is a pretty good thing to follow her advice. the rest of the decade flew by it as our lives settled into a rhythm of family and work and friends. in 1983, hillary chaired a committee to recommend new education standards for us in response to a court order to equalize school funding. a report by national experts said we had willfully underfunded schools, the worst in america. typical hillary, she held listening towards in all 75 counties with our committee. she came up with really ambitious recommendations. for example, that we be the tost state in america require elementary counselors in

every school because i'm a kids were having trouble at home into they needed it. so, i called the legislature the standards, pass the pay rate for teachers, raise the sales tax to pay for it all. i knew it would be hard to pass but it got easier after hillary headed the education committee and the chairman said, it looks to me like we elected the wrong clinton. [applause] mr. clinton: the same expert you said we had the worst schools in -- and that is because of those standards that hillary recommended. later, hillary told me about a preschool program developed in israel.

home instruction for preschool youngsters. the idea was to teach parents to be there children's first teachers. she said she thought it would work in arkansas. i said, that is great what are we going to do. she said, i only called the woman it is real and she will be on today's to help as get started. no, i am being dragged around to all these little preschool regulations. to preschoolagged graduation watching these poor parents with tears in their eyes because they never thought they would be able to help their kids learn. [applause] mr. clinton: 20 years of research has shown how well this program works to improve readiness for schools and academic achievement. there are a lot of young adults who have no idea hillary had anything to do with it but they are enjoying better lives because of that program.

did all of this while being a full-time worker, a mother, and enjoying our life. why? well, she is insatiable curious, a natural leader, good organizer, and the best darn change maker i have ever met in my entire life. ] heers and applause mr. clinton: so look, this is a really important point for you to take out of this convention. if you believe it making change from the bottom-up, if you believe the measure changes are many evils lives are affected, you know it is hard and some people think it is boring. speeches like this are fun. .ctually doing the work is hard so people say, well we need to change. a long time.around she sure has. and she has sure been worth every single year she has put into making people's lives

better. applause] mr. clinton: i can tell you this were sitting where i am sitting and you heard what i have heard and at every dinner conversation, lunch conversation, on every long walk, you would say, this woman has never been satisfied with the status quo in anything. she always wants to move the ball forward. that is just too she is. who she is. when i became president with a commitment to reform health care, hillary was a natural health care task force. about thenow filibuster. hillary immediately went to work on solving the problems the bill

one-by-one.dress the most important goal was to get more children with health insurance. the997, congress passed treatments health insurance program, still an important part of obamas affordable care act. it ensures more than 8 million kids. there are a lot of other things and that bill she got going peace-by-peas. pushing the rock up the hill. she also met7, with the house minority leader who maybe dislikes me more than any of newt gingrich's crowd. worked on a build together to increase adoptions of children out of foster care. she wanted to do it because she knew that tom, for all of our differences, was in adopted parent and she honored him for

doing that. adoptive parent and she honored him for doing that. the bill passed i an bipartisan majority and lead to a big increase of children out of foster care including not infant kids and special needs kids. it made life better, because she is a change-maker. that is what she does. [cheers and applause] mr. clinton: now, when you are doing all of this, life does not stop. 1997 was the year chelsea finished high school and went to college. we were happy for her but sad for us. to see her go. i will never forget moving here -- her into her dorm room at stanford. it was in a great little reality flick. there i was, in a trance staring out the window trying not to cry and there was hillary on her

-- nice, needs desperately looking for one more drawer to put liner paper in. andlly, chelsea took charge told us ever so gently that it was time for us to go. closed a big chapter in the most important work in our lives. as you will see thursday night winchelsea speaks, hillary has done a pretty fine job of being a mother. cheers and applause] mr. clinton: in, as you saw last night beyond a shadow of a doubt, so has michelle obama. -- [cheers and applause] clinton: in 1999,

congressman charlie rheingold and other democrats ordered runary -- urged hillary to for the seat of retiring senator pat moran ham. we had always intended to go to new york after the commute to arkansas, but that had never occurred to either one of us. hillary had never run for office before but she cited to give it a try. she began her campaign the always -- the way she always does things. i listening and learning. after a tough battle, new york elected her to the seat once outsider, robert kennedy. [cheers and applause] -- clinton: and she did not let him down. her early years were dominated by 9/11. by working to find the recovery.

monitoring the health. providing compensation to victims and first-responders. she and senator shuman worked tireless and so were the house members. what we'rertly by going through she became the first senator in the history of new york ever to serve on the arm to services committee. so, she tried to make sure people on the battlefield had proper equipment. she tried to expand and data expand health care coverage to members of the national guard. she got longer family leave working with senator dodd for people caring for wounded servicemembers and she worked for more extensive care for people with dramatic brain injury. she also served on the special to to gone commission propose changes necessary to meet our new security challenges. on thatingrich was commission. he told me what a good job she

had done. ] aughter he and applause mr. clinton: i say that because no one had seriously dealt with this. they are a national treasure. all races, all walks of life. cheers and applause] mr. clinton: meanwhile, she compiled a really solid record totally progressive on economic and social issues. she voted for him against a proposed trade deal. she became the effect of economic development officer for the area of new york outside the ambit of new york city. she worked for farmers, wine makers, small businesses and manufacturers. for upstate cities and rural areas that needed more ideas and investment to create new jobs.

do again in have to small town in rural america in neighborhoods that of been left behind and indian country, and yes -- in coal country. the contest to president obama, she worked for his election hard. and, she hesitated to say yes when he asked her to join his evident. being a son loved -- because she's so loved being a senator from new york. so like me but in a different context, he had to keep asking. but as we all saw, it was worth the effort. [applause] mr. clinton: as secretary of state, she worked hard to get strong sanctions against iran's nuclear program and what wall street journal called a half

shot, she got russia into china to support. her team negotiated a new treaty with russia. she got enough republican support to get two thirds of the senate to vote necessary to ratify the treaty. fromat up all night long cambodia to the middle east to get a cease-fire that would avoid a shooting war between gaza and -- i mean between hamas and gaza. to protect the peace of the region. backed president obama's decision to go after of, she launched a team -- this is really important today -- she launched a team to fight back against terrorists online and built a new global counterterrorism effort. we have got to win this battle. the mind field.

in thef climate change middle of our policy. she negotiated the first with china and india to reduce their in remission. and as she had been doing since you went to beijing in 1995 and said, women's rights are human rights and human rights are toen's rights -- she worked empower women and girls around the world and to make the same exact declaration on behalf of the lgbt community in america and around the world. and, nobody ever talks about this much -- nobody ever talks about this much but it is important to me, she tripled the

number of people in four countries with aids whose lives are being saved with your tax dollars. most of them african, going from 1.7 trillion midwives to 5.1 million lives and it did not cost you any more money. availableought fda-approved generic drugs, something we need to do more for the american people. now, you do not know any of these things. you don't know any of these things about 3 million, 4 million people. and i guarantee, they know you. they know you because they see you as thinking their lives matter. they know you, and that is one reason the approval in the united states was 20 points higher when she left the secretary of state's office the end when she took it. now, how does this square? how does this square with the you heard at the

republican convention? what is the difference in what i told you and what they said? how do you squared? you cannot. one is real, the other is made up. applause] cheers, and and -- ton: you just have to decide which is which, my fellow americans. the real one had done more -- positive change making before she was 30-years-old than most politicians do with their whole lives in office. the real one, if you saw her friends from childhood in arkansas where she is not lived for more than 20

years who have gone all across america at their own expense to fight for the person they know. one -- the red one has earned the loyalty and respect of people of worked with her in every stage of her life, including leaders around the world who know her to be able, straightforward, and completely trustworthy. they were one calls you when you're sick, when your kids are in trouble, or when there is a death in the family. getseal one repeatedly praise from prominent republicans when she was a senator and the secretary of state. applause] mr. clinton: so, what is up with this? well, if you win elections, on the theory the government is always bad and will mess up a two-incorporated, a real changemaker represents a real threat.

-- a two-car parade, it real changemaker represents a real threat. so your only alternative is to create a cartoon. cartoons are two-dimensional. easy to absorb. life in the world is complicated and real change is hard. a lot of people think it is boring even. good for you, because earlier today you nominated the real one. applause] you -- ton:

[cheers and applause] mr. clinton: we have to get back look, i have- lived a long, full, blessed life. off when i met and fell in love with that girl in the spring of 1971. when i was president i worked hard to give you peace and shared asperity, to give you an america where nobody is in visible or counted out. hillary isis time to seize theified opportunities and reduce the risks we face and she is still the best darn changemaker i have ever known. applause]

drop heron: you could in any trouble spot. pick one. come back in a month and somehow, some way, she will have made it better. that is just who she is. there are clear, achievable, responses to our challenges. but we will not get to them if america makes the wrong choice in this election. her is why you should elect . in due should elect her because she will never quit when the going gets tough. she will never quit on you. she sent me in this primary to west virginia, where she knew we were going to lose to look those coal miners in the eye and say "i am down here because hillary that if youell you

announcer: good evening from philadelphia. conclusion of night two of the democratic national convention. former president bill clinton painted a picture of their life.

we would like to open up the phones to see what you thought about the evening. a lot of public officials speaking tonight and we would like to hear a few had a favorite speech you reacted to. if you're on the other side of the aisle and you would like to comment about how the democrats are positioning themselves let a snow. there are two ways you can get involved. at the number on your screen. can send us a tweet. use our twiddle -- twitter handle @cspan. steve scully.o steve: wherewith delegates from pennsylvania and iowa. this one is in elected official. your take away from tonight. was there a moment or a speech you will remember? >> i think it was alicia keys

concert in regards to the fact they showed a history of all the presidents, all men and then the last ceiling raking. that was a tear jerking moment for me, similar to 2007 when obama was nominated as nominee for the democratic office for president. >> it has been 96 years since women earned the right to vote in 1920, no history being made with the first female presidential candidate on a major ticket. when you think? >> i am so honored to be part of this night of history with our first woman. being a woman of color, when we were not allowed to vote them, i am just honored. it has been an absolute village and i'm glad i'm part of this history making. >> this is ground zero. be in trump will scranton, pennsylvania tomorrow. hillary clinton will be on a best were traveling to johnstown and pittsburgh. >> a lot of people celebrating

hillary. a lot of people talking about this election and this event. national convention because we made history. we came in and we were a little bit divided and we are moving out of here united. pennsylvania has united the democratic party. >>'s and, as you know, it begins in iowa. from cedar rapids iowa, you are also on the battleground state. >> yes, we are. usually pretty close there. so many republican candidates this year. i was concerned the state could go republican this year definitely because of so much interest and new public in primary and we have seen different candidates campaigning there. >> what about the linton's speech about his wife hillary clinton? what was her take away from what he said about their life, their marriage, their years in public service question >> you know, i don't, i guess i don't -- they

think that stick out for me was i am a bernie sanders delegate and i think senator sanders acted with grace tonight. each of the item and he is and the reason why we love him. and i hope that my fellow bernie sanders delegates can act with as much grace and you know, find a way to move forward with our message and political revolution and to do the best we can at the ballot box in november 2 move forward with the regressive change we hope to bring forward. >> who will you vote for? >> well, it definitely will not be trump. i think that it will most likely be hillary clinton but i am not sure that all the people here are there yet and i am hoping that in this convention that we address the things that we learned about this week that people were concerned about and

i hope that we have a very big statement about the reform that will happen in the dnc because i think it is critical. campaign finance reform is huge, it is one of the reasons i backed bernie sanders ever hillary clinton and i know a lot of people are concerned about that and so i am hoping that people will find a reason to feel comfortable voting for her because president trump is a very scary idea. but i know it will be difficult because there is some concerns that i think still need to be addressed, so -- >> to my nights of this convention. thank you all. we appreciate a. susan: we are taking some calls. we're going to listen to a few democrat calls since it is the democratic convention. then we will open at four republicans and independents. on the air.you are from: three takeaways

tonight. first, the humility and grace of bernie sanders and how he handled the vote tonight in s of violence,ther particularly sandra land. land there, the way bill clinton really showed us the personal side of hillary clinton. those are three of the big moments i think from tonight. susan: do you think that -- i mean, the personal fight of sec. clinton, do you think it changed your thinking about heard dimensions? makes hercertainly more human. you know, we have seen the public side of her for a long time. not necessarily what is behind the scenes with her

relationships and the way she conducted herself before public life, i think that is, you know, very important. and you know, as a bernie sanders supported, you know, it brings out more and her i think i like. host: sandra is up next. hi, sandra. you are on c-span. color: hello. i am excited tonight to be a democrat and support hillary clinton and i have been so proud of how the party has handled this convention these last couple of days. they have been very professional, mature, and raised some very good issues. working toward helping the people. i think bernie sanders handled himself very well in supporting hillary, nominating hillary as on hisd calling supporters to support her. i think the clinton did a

published job of showing us who hillary really is a -- i going to disagree with what some of the commentators that about his speech tonight. that bill's position was tonight, was totally different than his position several years ago when he supported president obama. tonight he was showing us who hillary is and i think he did a wonderful job of making her real and making her someone that we can relate to. and i am excited to vote for her. post: thank you santa. let's return to his discovery. steve: susan, 20 years ago we spoke with ted when he was a delegate and washington state. he is now the director of the arkansas party. a lot of references to bill clinton some state tonight. what are your thoughts? >> it was phenomenal. a lot of energy. pride.f arkansas a lot of people obviously in

arkansas no president clinton and sec. clinton and working hard and doing what we can to make sure that we represent arkansas will with a lot of pride. to help her tried to get elected inarkansas and the election general. >> as you know, arkansas is becoming a very red state. can hillary clinton when? >> you might be surprised. we are counting on a hillary surge in the. i think it will be closer than you think. >> did president clinton close the deal on those uncertain about hillary clinton and trying to paint is on schedule about his wife? right you know, i think president clinton is the explainer-in-chief. the chief explainer. i think he did really well. i think he painted a great portrait of the hillary and really mentioned all the great

thing she has done it in arkansas. she has a lot of great history in arkansas, a lot of great friends and they are really behind her and are really going to support her. steve: we will check in with you during the campaign, ted. great to see you. >> great to see you, you have not aged a bit. hopefully this one went a lot better than another one. steve: you did a great job. thank you for being with us. susan: that was steve scully. we think you have not aged a bit as well. color, you are on the air. a democrat. caller: what really closed it for me was bill clinton talking about how hillary cares about our children. i have two children and want to see a future for them. my daughter also has a disabilities i definitely do not when somebody in office that is

going to make fun of her. up next.m is tim is in our scottish, wisconsin. democrat. er: i was disappointed tonight. i vote democrat will be time but i am a bit more of a centrist and i guess i was disappointed with the way things are going. what it looks like with the platform. i guess i was just disappointed. thank you very much for the call. newport--- up, newport news democrat. ller: both nights of the convention to me were awesome. in talking toce voters to unite the democrat party together by bernie

sanders. we need unity so we can be strong together. nights of the convention to me were totally, totally awesome. we cannot afford to let donald be the president of the united states of america because we would not have a united states of america if he is president and so i am making the comment out there in the i am going to be knocking on doors and everything else to make sure democrats, the ones that supported bernie sanders as well as hillary, that we all unite together so that we can the unitedng in states of america and god bless the united states of america and god bless the democratic convention. you stella. we have another newport news call from larry. you are on c-span.

welcome. ler: yes ma'am, i like to say i'm hillary all the way. you do not realize you have to work congress and everybody else, all those congresses are not going to be happening. susan: thank you. after we go back to the floor and go back to the calls we will start mixing invoices from republicans and independent voters. the new york state comptroller, thomas. what do you think resident clinton did tonight. what was his objective? >> i think his objective was to remind everybody he has been a witness to hillary clinton's life since 1971 and just went an incredible impact is have to enabling positive change and all the different roles she has been involved in and i think she reminded everybody in this year, 2016, where many people in the country would like to see change and change for the better, no one is better prepared to make

change happen then hillary clinton who has been doing at all her life and bill clinton who has been by her side every step of the way over the decades. i think he was very effective. steve: donald trump says he can win new york. what is your reaction? >> hillary clinton represented our statement necessarily as a senator. we love her. she was tremendous support very handy in the polls are showing she is had. she is going to win new york, i am confident. steve:'s go from here to texas. we can tell you are from texas with those hats. we have been looking for some of the hats at this convention. >> i thoroughly enjoyed president clinton's sharing the personal side. i think when people are in leadership positions and you can hear about their personal sides, we can identify more with them. i think one of the things that president clinton wanted to reiterate was that before facebook, before social media,

before tv cameras, hillary rodham was working on behalf of the will americans. i love the fact is laying out the fact that this lady has been working for decades. for decades. steve: we talked to an iowa delegate who said she will vote for hillary clinton. she is a supporter bernie sanders but not sure for supporters at the convention are going to vote for hillary clinton. what would you tell the democrats have still not convinced themselves hillary is the person? >> if they still feel that way after listening to bill clinton tonight, then i am not sure i'm going to be able to convince them but what i like about what he did tonight, what my takeaway was, he showed us that she has been working every single day of her life from college on up. many people do not know which is now but tonight everybody knows. we already knew that she had been working on the ground.

just like me. i am retired army and that is why i am writing for u.s. congress because i want to make veterans are cared for. hillary clinton has made sure of that and i want to continue that in the first district of texas, east texas. all of this listening in east texas, let's get out and vote and crack at another class ceiling. >> i am the perfect 10 running for the 10th congressional comments. when we win, we will be the first females to take that see. i think it is important that women have a seat at the table. there is so much that women offer. we are the caregivers but we think beyond what is in front of us. we look toward the future and we have to get more women in the united states congress. >> and we need registered nurses as well. health care is important. that is white and involved because of health care. steve: we are the network that

covers the house of representatives. thank you so much. susan: as we're listening to your reactions night two of the of a credit national convention. chris is our first republican color. from florida. what did you think of tonight? the takeaway is, vote for hillary clinton because she is a woman. the final sequence was insulting. i thought they did away with take your daughter to work day because it was discriminatory toward your son so i thought we trying to get away from this whole sexist thing but i guess it is all right when hillary doesn't. she says to the whole democratic platform, vote for me i have a vagina. , massachusetts? caller: hello. calling from new hampshire. i wanted to say that i really

enjoyed this convention so far in said i agreed with sarah silverman the other night when or bust to the barney people, you're being ridiculous because we have to unite and defeat trump. susan: thanks for your call. on the other side of the aisle, darryl on twitter says, who? you one by lying and cheating. you and your husband are a disgrace. i am only for trump will stop donald trump, by the way, is having a press conference tomorrow morning at 10:30 a.m. and we will cover it live on c-span two. and at 3:00 eastern time, he and mike pence will be in the battleground state of pennsylvania with an event in scranton, pennsylvania. you will see both of those at a town hall format in the afternoon on our network on wednesday. returning the call, in kansas. and independent. what have you been thinking about tonight? caller: well, i was watching

bill clinton and it is kind of hard for me to believe a lot of what he says because, you know, personalhat on the side hillary was his good friend and he loves her and all of that, you know. and your thing i can think of it she must've been such a good friend and he loved her so much that he cheated on her. so it aside for me to believe anything that guy says. it is just hard for me to understand how you can do that if you do care about somebody. susan: thank you. in kansas, speaking of bill clinton's speech tonight, it clocked in at 32 minutes. we have a chart going back to the archives comparing tonight's speech by president clinton to his past them a credit convention appearances. his longest was in 1996 when it clocked in at 65 minutes. he also appeared in 1980 four, before the c-span archives started. so we do not have been included but he has been a consistent presence at democratic conventions from 1984 until

today. back to calls, chris in eugene, oregon. and republican. you're on. color: how are you? susan: fine. what did you think of the democrats? caller: somehow it is been a -- integrated. euros a story. my dad was in ob/gyn. he delivered babies for 35 years. heelys used to tell me two things. one thing was, stop meddling in people's lives. and be economically prudent. -- i always have to change my pledge between the two candidates currently in front of us. secondly, take the state of oregon for example. a beautiful state.

if you look at it, split right down the middle. one side is read the other side is blue. it is almost like america in itself. why is that? i mean, i am asking you? why is it that our country is 50-50? susan: do you have an answer to your question? caller: do you want my answer? an: sure, you pose the question. ailes andok up roger rupert murdoch. those are two names for you. they are not nice. susan: let's go back to steve on the floor with more delegates. a hillary clinton

delegate from the chicago area not far from where hillary clinton groep. i will begin by asking you about your senate race which is one of those key better states for the senate. what do you think will happen? win thelieve tammy will race. highly qualified. she has been a hero both on and off the phone. she was the head of v.a. and helped that on some much better care and also to focus more information to help them lead heir lives with ptsd and etc. she has spoken at democratic donors. we are proud of our and believe the people of illinois will see she is the more qualified and the one truly fighting for america. steve: we're at the midpoint of the convention so complete the sentence. the state of the national democrats tonight is what? >> stronger and more transparent to show america why this is the party that is going to help families and help across the

board those most in need and those who were also wealthy. as jack kennedy said, if you cannot help the many who are -- excuse me -- if you cannot save the rich -- if you cannot help the many who are poor, you cannot save the few who are rich. steve: from california. let me ask about the state of this party. and some bernie sanders delegates you still feel disenfranchised. the idea of superdelegates. you understand the feelings? >> i think would happen tonight was a very classy example of how this party can together and how it did come together at the very end having bernie sanders call for a vote of acclamation for hillary clinton was very poignant and classy and a great way to get things ready for the next couple days. steve: hillary clinton will speak on thursday, what does you need to do to close the deal for those not convention should be president? >> she needs to remind people of which is been doing all of her life. we saw a little bit of that

today. is been working for children, families, public service her whole life and she will share that story in a very real and personal way on thursday and i'm looking for to that. steve: thank you for time. we appreciate it. susan: thank you, steve. i wanted to tell you if you had a particular speaker tonight you are interested in whether for or against and wanted to share, go to c-span website. everything will speech of this convention and the republican convention has been logged itividually and you can send to your friends on social media or however you like to talk about politics online. next a call from inquiry in mount laurel. she is in independent. r: last week as i was listening to the republicans, there were three things that impressed me that i have not heard from the democrats yet. the republicans were very

adriatic. they spoke about god -- patriotic. they spoke about god. they told us the truth. i have not heard any of that in this convention. not patriotic. they do not mention god. in they do not tell us the truth. i think it is very sad at tragic that there are so many people in this country who are so naive and ignorant that take cannot even to help with near being lied to. as far as the bernie sanders supporters go, i guess i'm a feel completely and i did not even support him. out.e sanders sold them when we wake up and realize where the money they gave him actually went to maybe then they even andget mad but at vote for donald trump. this whole thing for me has been a very tragic thing.

i cannot even listen to the democratic convention the way i could the republican one. i am an independent at heart. i hear these people lying to the american people. painting a glossy thing to see. democratsnd that think the republicans are doom and gloom. if that is the truth that is the truth. sometimes the truth is hard to take but i would rather between the truth whether it is doom and gloom than to have people get there and lucky to me the way these versailles up this democrat convention and the pulpit of there listening to wake up! if we do not get it right this time and getting it right means voting for donald trump, this country is going, people. when you go. get a brain. susan: key. steve scully is on the floor

a congressman. steve: from texas, a reaction. what do you think bill clinton's objective was to nine and did he achieve that goal? >> he spoke to america tonight and that is what we intend to do every single night ent very well told hillary's a story he and he told it's so well that now everyone can count themselves a friend of hillary's. someone who understands her heart. she is a do. she gets the job done. that is what we saw in his story tonight. a personal love story. he loves her. she loves him. when they met each other. law school. students love that comes about that to many know. so many people have met their spouses, their loved ones, the person who they spent their life with on a college campus. on a high school campus.

in so it was real. people can understand it. journey.ook us on the her parents. which many of us have gone to know through her. the story of her parents. then of course, the work she did and arkansas and the friendships she developed. the long-standing friends. the birth of their beautiful daughter, my daughter was born in the same month and year. talked about that through the years. the warmth that you and relationship with chelsea, the beautiful young woman they have. a real leader that comes about through two beautiful parents. and then of course, the presidential knowledge he had to be able to speak about her leadership and work. in i guess if i would say what was the most important point to me was after secretary, former secretary madeleine albright, for him as a president, a former commander-in-chief, to be able to talk about national security,

her ability to be the commander-in-chief, her steadiness, her knowledge and the absolute respect that she around -- from leaders the world and it is nothing to laugh about because i have heard a personally from leaders around the world. they have for secretary hillary rodham clinton. steve: i have to show this sign, changemaker. a reference resident clinton made in his reach. campaigns are about change. talk about the tactical approach by the clinton campaign to make that reference in a hand in an election where people say we need change. >> there is this whole western of being an outsider. that is some badge of honor the other candidate seems to promote. i am an outsider. i don't know nothing about government, it is obvious.

even national security. i haven't a clue about how to get things done through congress. it was congress? i'm going to declare war. with her and all these things. i think what he was trying to say without using the word experience, she sees the problem and changes it. i know the story about the arkansas educational system. that is real. in, offered suggestions, did research. that is hillary down the line. the total insult insurance program in place today, even before any health insurance came about, it was the attempt to get health care for america or universal health care for america. there were bumps in the road but what came of it was the children's health insurance program. she saw a problem and went to fix it and managed with congress, with the president, to pass something that has served children and helped save their lives for decades. she did a lot of other things dealing with israel.

so changemaker means, i take my experience, i do the research, in and i do not sit and look in suspense or confusion. it's all the problem. steve: in one sentence, how would you describe donald trump? chuckles] i am speechless. what i would say. what i would say is that i wish mr. trump well in every other endeavor he chooses to do other than being president of the united states of america. steve: representative sheila jackson lee from texas. thank you for your time. you steve scully. it is about 10 minutes before midnight here on the east coast. thank you for watching c-span. lots of very nice comments from twitter on our gavel-to-gavel

coverage. we appreciate that. we have 10 minutes are sent to take your tweets with your comments on night two of the democratic convention. let us go back to calls. washington, new york. you're on. caller: how are you doing tonight? susan: we're fine. what is on your mind as you watch the democrats? caller: yeah, so first off i want to say if there is anybody that is going to call in and talk about hillary's gender having anything ando with her electability say that they felt discriminated against as a man, that takes a whole other level of misunderstanding about what the world is and what this country is. that hurt to hear, especially from someone who identifies with the values that i do. but i am telling you right now that i am 20-years-old, i have studied political science and

this will be my first time being able to vote in a presidential election and i said it today that im going to vote for hillary clinton because i would rather have someone who i know is going to be under a microscope to in a way that the scandal is, rather than have someone i have no idea what he will do when that goes, you know, that goes without speaking about everything he said to degrade different groups of people and divide this country even more than he perceives it to be. susan: thank you for your call. on twitter, someone writes, the striking between -- the striking difference between the dnc and rnc is diversity. i love what i saw for the last few nights. back to calls, patty from heights, illinois. you're on. say in i have to watching the speech last night i

found michelle obama's speech very inspiring. watching tonight's convention, being 53-years-old, i found it fascinating to see the democratic party trying to energize the young voters. i thought on montage was very inspirational and tries to bridge that gap. to deliver that message, that hillary puts out that we are struggling together into i am very excited to see hillary in the white house. next, baye is up village, ohio. what did you think? i was listening to bill clinton tell his story tonight and my mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and i literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand and she started yelling -- susan: we're going to move on to a democrat.

go ahead. caller: can you hear me? susan: yes. go head. caller: i wanted to: in and say how much i enjoyed the coverage. this evening has made me extremely proud to be a member of my party. just everything that has gone on . i was listening to lee's comments and i thought she had wonderful things to say. i thought bill clintons speech was as always fantastic. in, the most important thing is that i think he was speaking as a husband. he was not speaking as a former president. he was talking about a woman he fell in love with over 40 years ago and the life they have shared together and what a beautiful thing that is.

the memories he has of that. and, i know there were some media commentators, rachel specifically, who, you know, tried to, you know, paint that in eight negative way but i do not think that is what was at all. be said literally reminded us of the things that hillary clinton has done in her career that she literally from day one has been committed to public service. of us, that even many myself included, who have been a supporter of horrors -- of hers for over a decade did not know. memories.wonderful wonderful reminders of why she option wely the best have. she is someone that our children can be proud of someday when she and they can look

back and no she broke down that barrier that literally every child, male or female, does not matter, you can beat president and if you commit your life to public service great things can happen. susan: thank you. north charleston, south carolina. beck tuesday scully on the floor. steve: we are with a reporter for the bostoncs globe. what are the stories that stand out so far? >> i think the first a story was certainly the surprising loudness of the sanders supporters. poll after poll, telling us they are going to come round and put for hillary clinton and i think people did not realize how much anger was still there even know ultimately people are always saying they are going to but for hillary clinton. feeling that energy and divisiveness in the room was a big story on the first day. today it was like the clinton

infomercial is back. you know, they sort of managed to clean that up and let that event. you know, let that go when suddenly it was back to the conventionuced everybody was expecting all four days would be. steve: you're working for a story on the boston globe about this be just great. after the first lighted, before senator bernie sanders, the timing, the town in massachusetts. >> i think that speech came across as flat for her. i think she is in a difficult position right now. she sat on the sidelines for so long. when bernie sanders really wanted her in, then she was passed over for vice president so did not pay off and now she is stuck with some of her supporters angry with her and her power in washington comes from grass roots. she is not an inside politics people. she needs that support in order to of the power she is built in washington.

in thestory tomorrow boston globe explores up. steve: on the issue of black lives matter, those mothers made a point of blue lives matter. how do you think that played out in him? >> it is so different from the republican convention where you had officer after officer talking about their experience or the children or spouses of people in law enforcement who had died. here you heard the other side of the story which was the moms, the family members of the people who have been treated very badly by the police officers. how was it him, i do not know but in the convention hall there was a huge amount of support for those women and hearing their story. to think back, 12 months ago, democrats were struggling with the idea of black lives matter. of, youclinton kind know, her first initial response on this was not very smooth and angered a lot of black events. bernie sanders, remember him
