here is that speech from last night. >> please welcome chelsea clinton. [cheers] ♪ >> thank you. thank you. [cheers] it is such an honor for me to be here tonight. i'm here as a proud american, a proud democrat, a proud mother. [cheers] and tonight, in particular, and

very proud daughter. [cheers] mark and i can't quite believe it, but our daughter charlotte is nearly two years old. she loved elmo. she loves blueberries and above all, she loves face timing with grandma. [cheers] my mom can be about to walk on stage and it just is not matter, she will drop everything for a few minutes of blowing kisses and reading chugga chugga cho choo with her granddaughter. our son is five and a half weeks old. [cheers] we are so thankful that he is healthy and thriving and we are biased, that we think he is just

about the cutest baby in the world. a view i'm sure my mom shares. and every day that i spend with -- as charlotte and aiden's mother, i think about my own mother. my wonderful, thoughtful, hilarious mother. my earliest memory is my mom picking me up after i had fallen down, giving me a big time integrating me nine man. -- reading me good night moon. from that moment and this one, everything a memory i have of my mom is that regardless of what was happening in her life, she was always there for me. [cheers]

every soccer game, every softball game, every piano recital, every dance recital. sunday's been together at church, the local library, countless saturdays and punishments in the clouds. -- finding shapes in the clouds. making up stories about what we would do if we met a triceratops in my opinion, the friendly's -- the friendliest looking dinosaurs. although my mother would remind me that they were still dinosaurs. as a kid i was obsessed with dinosaurs and the day that my parents took me to dinosaur national park, i did not think like to get any better. whenever my mom was away for work, which thankfully did not happen very often, she let notes for me to open every day she was gone. all stacked neatly together in a special drawer with a date on the front of each one so i would know which note to open on which day.

when she went to france to learn about the childcare system, i remember one was all about the eiffel tower. another was about that ideas she helped to bring home to help the kids of arkansas. [cheers] i treasured each and everyone of those notes. they were another reminder that i was always in her thoughts and her heart. growing up, conversations around the dinner table always started with what i learned in school that day. i remember one week talking incessantly about a book that had captured my imagination, a wrinkle in time. [cheers] only after my parents had listened to me with a then talk about what they were working on. education, health care, what with consuming their days and

keeping them up at night. i love that my parents expected me to have opinions and to be able to back them up with facts. [cheers] i never once doubted that my parents cared about my thoughts and my ideas into always knew how deeply they love me. that feeling of being valued and loved, that is what my mom once for every child. [cheers] it is the calling of her life. [cheers] my parents raised me to know how lucky i was that i never had to worry about food on the table, that i never had to worry about a good school to go to. never had to worry about a safe

neighborhood to play in. and they taught me to care about what happens in the world. and to do whatever i can to change what frustrated me. they taught me that, the responsibly that comes with being smiled on by fate. [cheers] i know my kids are little young, but i'm already trying to instill the same values and them -- in them. [cheers] there's something else that my mother taught me, public service is about service. [cheers] as her daughter, i've had a special window into how she served.

holding the hands of mothers worried about how they will be their kids, worried about how they look at the health care they need. my mother promising to do everything she could to help. i have seen her after those conversations getting straight to work. figuring out what she could do, who she could call. how fast she could get results. she always feels like there isn't a moment to lose because she knows that for that mother, that family, there is an. [cheers] i've seen her at the low points, like the summer of 1994. several people this week have talked about her fight for universal health care. [cheers] i saw it up close.

it was bruising. it was exhausting. she thought her heart out and as all of you know, she lost. for me, 14 years old, it was pretty tough to watch. but my mom, she was amazing. she took a little time to replenish your spirit, family movie night, definitely helped, dad, as all of you know, like police academy. [laughter] my mom and i loved riding prejudice. -- pride and prejudice. [cheers] and then she got right back to work. because she believed she could so make a difference for kids. -- still make a difference for kids. [cheers] people ask me all the time, had how does she do it?

how does she keep going amid the sound and politics? here is how. she never, ever forgets who she is fighting for. [cheers] she has worked to make it easier for foster kids to never -- to get adopted. for 9/11 first responders to get the health care they deserve. [cheers] for women around the world to be safe, to be treated with dignity and to have more opportunity. [cheers] fights like these, they are what keep my mother going. they grabbed her heart. her conscience. and they never let go.

[cheers] that is to my mom's. she's a listener, a doer. she is a woman driven by compassion, by faith, but a fierce sense of justice and a heart full of love. [cheers] this november, i'm voting for a woman as a role model and a mother. a woman who has spent her entire life fighting for families and children. i'm voting for the progressives who will protect our family -- climate -- plaintiff fr -- planet from climate change. it will reform our criminal justice system. and who knows that women's rights are human rights. [cheers]

and who knows that lgbt writes rights are human rights. [cheers] here at home, and around the world, i'm voting for a fighter who never ever gives up and who believes we can always do better when we come together and work together. i hope that my children will someday be as proud of me as i am of my mom. i am so grateful to be her daughter. i'm so grateful that she is charlotte and aidan's grandmother. she makes me proud every single day. [cheers] and mom, grandma would be so proud of you tonight.

[cheers] to everyone watching here at home, i know with all my heart that my mother will make us proud as our next president. [cheers] this is the story of my mother, hillary clinton. [cheers] >> here is a woman. what does she dream of? when does she feel proud? how many times will she leave her mark?

how many ways will she light up the world? >> she had this wonderful laugh. that carries quite far and sometimes will be suppressed because you will be a meeting -- middle of something and she will laugh. a joy and mirth. i think sometimes the public does not always appear. >> holding hands. i felt like she tried to soothe me. >> wasn't about pictures or productions, just showed up and had a simple message. thank you. she would make good on the promise. >> love to watch her with people and see the effect of her kindness. >> hillary rodham grew up in park ridge, illinois. >> my father was a chief petty officer at home as well as in the navy. he really had the attitude of don't whine, don't complain.

do what you are supposed to do. due to the best of your ability. >> her mother dorothy was terribly neglected. on her own working as a housekeeper by the time she was 13. she once said that that job was the first time she saw what a loving family looked like. >> she told me once on her young parents letter overnight by herself. she was four years old. they gave her a set of coupons so she could go to the corner cafe and get food. just the image of this little girl all by herself walking down the stairs of the walk-up tenement, out the door alone through the corner to the cafe and getting food with coupons, just haunts me.

>> here's a woman making her first marks on the world. she is, we all know, right and promising. an achiever. and yet, extra ordinarily, what is most striking, is her heart. >> her commitment to making people's lives better, her abiding belief that the same opportunities that chelsea has had should be extended to every child. that comes through in everything that she does. >> she could have joined a big law form, been a corporate equated, instead she chose the children's defense fund. there she went door to door gathering stories to help children with disabilities who were denied schooling. she challenged a system that kept teen boys in the same just as men. she went undercover as a housewife to prove that alabama was to find the law to keep it schools all white.

she was successful. >> i remember watching her in class and i just thought she was fascinating. i followed her out of the class and i got a close as i am to you and i lost my guts and did not speak to her. >> i said, who is that? she said that is bill clinton. he from arkansas and that is all he talks about. and then i heard him say, we grow the biggest watermelons in the world. that is all i know about him. >> here is the woman. she is to say the least, and untraditional first lady. in arkansas, she boldly reform the state education system and in the white house, she easily takes on national healthcare. a whole school of washington, health-care reform is not welcome. >> my mother wanted me to be resilient and be brave. there are lots of kids in the

neighborhood and i would come out and have a bow in my hair and the kids would pick on me. it was my first experience of being bullied and i was terrified. when they are running into the house and my mother met me and said, there is no room for cowards in this house. you go back outside and figure out how you're good to deal with what these kids are doing. [cheers] >> hillary worked with both democrats and republicans. together they created a plan that to this day provides medical insurance for 8 million american children. 8 million children. >> it is a violation of human rights when babies are denied food or drowned or suffocated or their spines broken simply because they are born girls. >> it has been said that in beijing, the conference is where hillary woke up the world. >> human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights once and for all. [cheers]

>> when she said women writers -- women rights argument rights and human right to women's rights. in 1995, that was a radical statement. >> she had never held public office before. she had been a senator for just nine short months. and then, our nation bowed his head in grief. >> it appeared as though a dark blackish gray curtain had dropped between lower manhattan and the rest of the city. >> injury wise, but my legs were shattered. they believed that the landing gear of the plane hit me because it was so hot that it closed my wounds. around 9:00 at night, when my

staff people came in and whispered to both of us that the white house had just sent out its first request for funding and there was not a penny in it for new york. >> new york needed a champion. hillary tirelessly worked her way across washington not stopping until the reached the oval office. >> president bush looked at me and said what are you need? i said we need $20 billion and chuck schumer said we need $20 billion and he said, you got it. >> her mind quickly grasped that this is a much bigger issue than replacing the buildings. this is replacing the american spirit. >> i remember taking a few pictures. when i got been developed, the flash of the camera against the dark sky, it reveals of the particles in the air. it looked like snow.

>> when the first responders began to get sick and question the quality of the air at ground zero, hillary took on the epa and got them health benefits. >> not only did she say she was going to fight for us, it wasn't idle chatter. >> at the same time she very quietly helped survivors rebuild our lives. >> i remember talking to hillary saying i can't. i need to be of the dance my way into it. she said, you're going to do it. i know you will. hearing her say that, helped me believe it. >> the bin laden situation is a perfect example of how valuable hillary's judgment and strength was to me in every decision i made. >> i have seen the photographs, so have you. we were never quite know what it

felt like to be in that room. but look at her, look at her face. she is carrying the hope and great of an entire nation. >> when the opportunity arose remit to be part of the small group advising the president about whether or not the intelligence we had with strong enough for him to act, i took that responsibility virtually and on behalf of the 3000 people who were murdered, that tens of thousands of loved ones who were left behind, before that was infected on our country, -- >> just listening to her talk about what that meant, i think

we all thought the external cause abilities and extra privilege of enable -- of being able to serve the american people. >> i was sitting in a back room by myself 50 cap and my sneakers were sticking out of the dress. someone came behind me and hugged me and i had no idea who it was. it was hillary. >> without press, without fanfare, they are only family photos. hillary quietly attended her wedding and debbie danced. she danced. >> there is more than enough of the american dream to go around. if we are committed to growing it, nurturing it, passing it on for our children and grandchildren, i can't think of anything more thrilling than be part of that. >> we all hope for a better tomorrow, any parent knows your every dream for the future is deep in the heart of your child. it is how we are made. the american dream is passed down from generation to generation to generation. >> we could spend his golden years of our lives, she wants to do this because she believes she can make a difference.

>> i'm going to stand up and fight for every american because i think if you are the president, that is exactly what you should do everyday. >> there are show horses and workhorses. horses you can count on to deliver and she is a workhorse. >> you have to love the country, believe in the country, lift up the people. >> to have a decade after decade of being on the front lines of try to bring about change. >> do everything you can to make should they believe you're getting up every morning and that they called white house thinking about them, understanding what they are up against working to make it better. >> she does that because she feels deep in her heart that here in the greatest country on earth, everybody deserves a

shot. >> i hope to unify the country and bring people together. i hope to break down every barrier and make our country everything it should be. that is what i hope are my grandchildren, that is what my mother hoped for me. >> how many times was to leave her mark? how many ways will she light of the world? this is the woman. [cheers] >> ladies and gentlemen, my mother, my hero, and our next president, hillary clinton. [cheers] ♪

mrs. clinton: thank you. [cheers] thank you so much. [cheers] thank you. thank you all so much. [cheers] thank you. [cheers] thank you all very, very much. [cheers] thank you for that amazing

welcome thank you all for the great convention that we have had. [cheers] and just say, thank you. -- chelsea, thank you. [cheers] i'm so proud to be a mother and -- your mother and so proud of the woman you have become. thank you for bringing market to -- mark into our family and charlotte and aden into the world. and bill, that conversation we started in the law library 45 years ago -- [cheers] it is still going strong. >> hillary! hillary! hillary!

hillary! mrs. clinton: that conversation has lasted through good times that filled us with joy and hard times that tested us and i even got in a few words and along the way -- in along the way. [cheers] on tuesday night i was so happy to see that my explainer in chief is still on the job. i'm also grateful to the rest of my family and to the friends of a lifetime, for all of you, whose hard work brought us tonight together, and to those of you who joined this campaign this week, thank you. what a remarkable week it has been. [cheers]

we heard the man from hope, bill clinton, and the man of hope, barack obama. [cheers] america is stronger because of president obama's leadership and that better because of his -- and i'm better because of his friendship. [cheers] we heard from our terrific vice president, the one and only joe biden. [cheers] he spoke from his big heart about our party's commitment to working people. and first lady michelle obama reminded us -- [cheers]

that our children are watching. and the president we elect is going to be their president, too. and for those of you out there who are just getting to know tim kaine. [cheers] you will soon understand why the people of virginia keep promoting him from city council to mayor, to governor and now senator and he will make our whole country proud as our next vice president. [cheers] and i want to thank bernie sanders. [cheers]

bernie, your campaign inspired millions of americans, particularly the young people who, through their hearts and souls into our primary. [cheers] you put economic and social justice issues brought and -- front and center where they belong. [cheers] and to all of your supporters here and around the country, i want you to know that i've heard you, your cause is our cause. [cheers] our country needs your ideas,

energy and passion. that is the only way we can turn our progressive platform into real change for america. [cheers] we wrote it together now let's , go out and make it happen together. [cheers] my friends, we have come to philadelphia, the birthplace of our nation because what happened in the city 200 and 40 years ago still has something to teach us today. we all know the story, but we usually focus on how it turned out and not enough on how close that story came to never being written at all.

when representatives from 13 unruly colonies met just down the road from here, some wanted to stick with the king and somebody went to stick it to the -- and some wanted to stick it to the king. the revolution hung in the balance. then somehow they began listening to each other. compromising. finding common purpose. [cheers] and by the time they left philadelphia, they had begun to see themselves as one nation. that is what made it possible to stand up to a king, that the courage, they had courage. our founders embraced the enduring truth that we are stronger together.

[cheers] now america is once again at a moment of reckoning. powerful forces are threatening to pull us apart. bonds of trust and respect are framed. -- fraying. and just as with our founders, there are no guarantees. it truly is up to us. we have to decide whether we will all work together so we can all rise together. [cheers] our country's mother is e -- motto is e pluribus unum. out of many, we are one.

will be stager to that motto -- will we be true to that motto? [cheers] we heard donald comes answer. -- we heard donald trump answer last week at his convention. he wants to divide us from the rest of the world and from each other. he is betting that the perils of today's world will blind us to its unlimited promise. he is taken the republican party a long way from mourning in america to midnight in america. he wants us to fear the future and fear each other. well you know, a great democratic president, franklin delano roosevelt came up with , the perfect rebuke to drum. -- to trump more than 80 years ago, during a much more perilous time, the only thing we have to fear is. self -- fear itself. [cheers]

now, we are clear eyed about what our country is up against. but we are not afraid. we will rise to the challenge just as we always have. we will not build a wall, instead, we will build an economy where everyone who wants a good job can get one. [cheers] and we will build a path to citizenship for millions of immigrants who are already contributing to our economy. [cheers] we will not been a religion, we -- ban a religion we will work

, with all americans and our allies to fight and if the -- and defeat terrorism. -- defeat terrorism. [cheers] yet we know there is a lot to do. too many people have not had a pay raise since the crash. there is too much inequality, too little social mobility, too much for alice's in washington. too many -- paralysis in washington. too many threats at home and abroad. just look for a minute at the strength we bring as americans to meet these challenges. we have the most dynamic into -- and diverse people in the world. [cheers] we have the most tolerant and generous young people we've ever had. [cheers] we have the most powerful military, the most innovative

entrepreneurs, the most enduring values. freedom and equality, justice and opportunity. we should be so proud that those words are associated with us. i have to tell you, as your secretary of state, i went to 112 countries. when people hear those words, they hear america. [cheers] don't let anyone tell you that our country is week, we are not. don't let anyone tell you we don't have what it takes, we do. and most of all, don't believe anyone who says i alone can fix it.

[cheers] those were actually donald trump's words in cleveland. they should set off alarm bells for all of us. really? i alone can fix it. isn't he forgetting troops on the front lines, police officers and firefighters who run towards danger, doctors and nurses who care for us, teachers who change lives, entrepreneurs who see possibilities in every problem, mothers who lost children to violence, and are building a movement to keep other kids safe, he is forgetting every

last one of us. americans don't say i alone can fix it, we say will fix it together. [cheers] and remember, our founders fought a revolution and wrote the constitution so america would never be a nation where one person had all the power. [cheers] 240 years later, we still put our faith in each other. look at what happened in dallas. after the assassinations of five brave police officer's, police chief dave brown asked the community to support his force,

and youeven joined them know how the community responded? nearly 500 people applied in just 12 days. [cheers] that is how americans answer when the call for help goes out. 20 years ago, i wrote a book called "it takes a village." [cheers] and a lot of people look at the title and asked, what the heck do you mean by that? this is what i mean. none of us can raise a family build a business, healey community or lift a country totally alone. [cheers] america needs everyone of us to lend our energy, our talent, our

ambition to making our nation better and stronger. i believe that with all of my heart. that is why stronger together is not just a lesson from our history, it is not just a slogan for our campaign, it is a guiding principle for the country we've always been in the -- and of the future we are going to build. a country where the economy is for everyone, not just those at the top. [applause] where you can get a good job and send your kids to a good school no matter what zip code you live in. a country where all our children can dream and the dreams are in reach. where families are strong and communities are safe, and yes, love trumps hate. [cheers]

that is the country we are fighting for. that's the future we are working toward. and so, my friends, it is with humility, determination, and boundless confidence in america's promise that i accept your nomination for president of the united states. [cheers] [cheers]

now, sometimes the people at this podium are new to the national stage. as you know, i'm not one of those people. i've been your first lady. served 8 years as a senator from the great state of new york. [cheers] then i represented all of you as

secretary of state. but my job titles only tell you what i've done. they don't tell you why. the truth is, through all these years of public service, the "service" part has always come easier to me than the "public" part. i get it that some people just don't know what to make of me. so let me tell you. the family i'm from, no one has the names on big buildings. my family were builders of a different kind. builders in the way most american families are. they used whatever tools they had, whatever god gave them, and whatever life in america provided and build better lives

and better futures for their kids. my grandfather worked in the same scranton lace mill for 50 years. [cheers] because he believed that if he gave everything he had, his children would have a better life than he did. and he was right. my dad, hugh, made it to college. he played football at penn state and enlisted in the navy after pearl harbor. when the war was over he started his own small business, printing fabric for draperies. i remember watching him stand for hours over silk screens. he wanted to give my brothers and me opportunities he never had. and he did. my mother, dorothy, was abandoned by her parents as a young girl. she ended up on her own at 14,

working as a house maid. she was saved by the kindness of others. her first grade teacher saw she had nothing to eat at lunch, and brought extra food to share. the entire year. the lesson she passed on to me years later stuck with me: no one gets through life alone. we have to look out for each other and lift each other up. she made sure i learned the words of our methodist faith: "do all the good you can, for all the people you can, in all the ways you can, as long as ever you can." [cheers] i went to work for the children's defense fund, going door-to-door in new bedford, massachusetts --

[cheers] on behalf of children with disabilities who were denied the chance to go to school. i remember meeting a young girl in a wheelchair on the small back porch of her house. she told me how badly she wanted to go to school, it just didn't seem possible. and i couldn't stop thinking of my mother and what she went through as a child. it became clear to me that simply caring is not enough. to drive real progress, you have to change both hearts and laws. you need both understanding and action. [cheers] so we gathered facts. we built a coalition. and our work helped convince congress to ensure access to education for all students with disabilities. it's a big idea, isn't it?

every kid with a disability has the right to go to school. [cheers] but how do you make an idea like that real? you do it step by step, hereby -- year by year sometimes even , door-to-door. and my heart just swelled when i saw anastasia somoza on this stage representing millions of young people. because we changed our law to make sure she got an education. it is true. i sweat the details of policy whether we're talking about the exact level of lead in the drinking water in flint, michigan, the number of mental health facilities in iowa, or the cost of your prescription drugs.

[applause] because it's not just a detail if it's your kid, if it's your family. it's a big deal. and it should be a big deal to your president. [cheers] after the four days of this convention, you've seen some of the people who've inspired me. people who let me into their lives, and became a part of mine. people like ryan moore and lauren manning. they told their stories tuesday night. i first met ryan as a seven-year old. he was wearing a full body brace that must have weighed forty pounds. because i leaned over to lift him up. children like ryan kept me going when our plan for universal

health care failed and kept me working with leaders of both parties to help create the children's health insurance program that covers 8 million kids in our country. [cheers] lauren manning, who said here -- did here with such grace and power was gravely injured on 9/11. it was the thought of her, and debbie st. john, and john dolan and joe sweeney, and all the victims and survivors, that kept me working as hard as i could in the senate on behalf of 9/11 families, and our first responders who got sick from their time at ground zero. i was thinking of lauren, debbie and all the others ten years later in the white house situation room when president obama made the courageous decision that finally brought osama bin laden to justice.

[cheers] in this campaign, i've met so many people who motivate me to keep fighting for change. and, with your help, i will carry all of your voices and stories with me to the white house. [cheers] and you heard from republicans and independents were supporting our campaign, well i will be a president for democrats, republicans, independents. for the struggling, the striving and the successful. for those who vote for me and those who don't. for all americans. [cheers] together! [cheers]

tonight, we've reached a milestone in our nation's march toward a more perfect union: the first time that a major party has nominated a woman for president. [cheers] standing here as my mother's daughter, and my daughter's mother, i'm so happy this day has come. happy for grandmothers and little girls and everyone in between. i'm happy for boys and men

because when any barrier falls in america, for anyone, it clears the way for everyone. [cheers] after all, when there are no ceilings, the sky's the limit. [cheers] so let's keep going, until every one of the 161 million women and girls across america has the opportunity she deserves. [cheers] but, even more important than the history we make tonight, is the history we will write together in the years ahead.

let's begin with what we're going to do to help working people in our country get ahead and stay ahead. now, i don't think president obama and vice president biden get the credit they deserve for saving us from the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes. [cheers] our economy is so much stronger than when they took office. nearly 15 million new private sector jobs. 20 million more americans with health insurance. and an auto industry that just had its best year ever. [cheers] that is real progress. but none of us can be satisfied with the status quo. not by a long shot. we're still facing deep-seated problems that developed long

before the recession and have stayed with us through the recovery. i've gone around our country talking to working families and i've heard from so many of you who feel like the economy just isn't working. some of you are frustrated, even fear is. -- even furious. you know what? you're right. it's not yet working the way it should. americans are willing to work and work hard, but right now, an awful lot of people feel there is less and less respect for the work they do. and less respect for them, period. democrats are the party of working people. [applause] but we haven't done a good enough job showing that we get what you're going through, and that we're going to do something to help. so i want to tell you tonight

how we will empower americans to live better lives. my primary mission as president will be to create more opportunity and more good jobs with rising wages right here in the united states. [cheers] from my first day in office to my last, especially in places that for too long have been left out and left behind, from our inner cities to our small towns, from indian country to coal country, from communities ravaged by addiction to regions hollowed out by plant closures. and here's what i believe. i believe america thrives when the middle class thrives. i believe our economy isn't working the way it should because our democracy isn't

working the way it should. that's why we need to appoint supreme court justices who will get money out of politics and expand voting rights, not restrict them. and if necessary, we'll pass a constitutional amendment to overturn citizens united. i believe american corporations that have gotten so much from our country should be just as patriotic in return. many of them are. but too many aren't. it's wrong to take tax breaks with one hand and give out pink slips with the other.

and i believe wall street can never, ever be allowed to wreck main street again. and i believe in science. i believe climate change is real and that we can save our planet while creating millions of good-paying clean-energy jobs. i believe that when we have millions of hardworking immigrants contributing to our economy, it would be self-defeating and inhumane to kick them out.

comprehensive immigration reform will grow our economy and keep families together, and it's the right thing to do. so whatever party you belong to, or if you belong to no party at all, if you share these beliefs, this is your campaign. if you believe that companies should share profits with their workers, not pad executive bonuses, join us. if you believe the minimum wage should be a living wage and no one working full-time should have to raise their children in poverty, join us.

if you believe that every man, woman, and child in america has the right to affordable health care, join us. if you believe that we should say no to unfair trade deals that we should stand up to china that we should support our steelworkers and autoworkers and homegrown manufacturers, then join us. if you believe we should expand social security and protect a woman's right to make her own health care decisions, then join us. and, yes, if you believe that

your working mother, wife, sister, or daughter deserves equal pay, join us. that's how we're going to make sure this economy works for everyone, not just those at the top. now, you didn't hear any of this from donald trump at his convention. he spoke for 70-odd minutes -- and i do mean odd. [laughter] mrs. clinton: and he offered zero solutions. but we already know he doesn't believe these things. no wonder he doesn't like talking about his plans. you might have noticed, i love talking about mine.

in my first 100 days, we will work with both parties to pass the biggest investment in new, good-paying jobs since world war ii. jobs in manufacturing, clean energy, technology and innovation, small business, and infrastructure. if we invest in infrastructure now, we'll not only create jobs today, but lay the foundation for the jobs of the future. and we will also transform the way we prepare our young people for those jobs. bernie sanders and i will work together to make college tuition free for the middle class and debt free for all! we will also liberate millions of people who already have student debt.

it's just not right that donald trump can ignore his debts, but students and families can't refinance their debts. and something we don't say often enough -- sure, college is crucial, but a four-year degree should not be the only path to a good job. we will help more people learn a skill or practice a trade and make a good living doing it. we will give small businesses like my dad's a boost,

make it easier to get credit. way too many dreams die in the parking lots of banks. in america, if you can dream it, you should be able to build it. and we will help you balance family and work. and you know what -- if fighting for affordable child care and paid family leave is playing the woman card, then deal me in! [applause] mrs. clinton: now, here's the other thing -- now, we're not only going to make all these investments, we're going to pay for every single one of them. and here's how -- wall street,

corporations, and the super-rich are going to start paying their fair share of taxes. this is not because we resent success. but when more than 90% of the gains have gone to the top 1%, that's where the money is. and we are going to follow the money. and if companies take tax breaks and then ship jobs overseas, we'll make them pay it back and we'll put that money to work where it belongs, creating jobs here at home. now, i imagine some of you are sitting at home thinking, well

that all sounds pretty good. but how are you going to get it done? how are you going to break through the gridlock in washington? well, look at my record. i've worked across the aisle to pass laws and treaties and to launch new programs that help millions of people. and if you give me the chance, that's exactly what i'll do as president. the i imagine people are thinking out there, but trump, he's a businessman. he must know something about the economy. well, let's take a closer look. in atlantic city, 60 miles from here, you'll find contractors and small businesses who lost everything because donald trump refused to pay his bills.

remember what the president said --st night -- don't boo vote. people who did the work and needed the money, and didn't get it -- not because he couldn't pay them, but because he wouldn't pay them. he just stiffed them. and you know that sales pitch he's making to be your president? put your faith in him -- and you'll win big? that's the same sales pitch he made to all those small businesses. then trump walked away and left working people holding the bag. he also talked a big game about putting america first. well, please explain to me what part of america first leads him to make trump ties in china, not colorado, trump suits in mexico, not michigan, trump furniture in turkey, not ohio, trump picture frames in india, not wisconsin. donald trump says he wants to

make america great again -- well, he could start by actually making things in america again. now, the choice we face is just as stark when it comes to our national security. hillary!y! clinton: anyone reading the news can see the threats and turbulence we face, from baghdad and kabul, to nice and paris and brussels, to san bernardino and orlando, we're dealing with determined enemies that must be defeated.

so it's no wonder people are anxious and looking for reassurance, looking for steady leadership, wanting a leader who understands we are stronger when we work with our allies around the world and care for our veterans here at home. keeping our nation safe and honoring the people who do it will be my highest priority. i'm proud that we put a lid on iran's nuclear program without firing a single shot. now we have to enforce it, and we must keep supporting israel's security. i'm proud that we shaped a global climate agreement.

now we have to hold every country accountable to their commitments, including ourselves. and i'm proud to stand by our allies in nato against any threat they face, including from russia. i've laid out my strategy for defeating isis. we will strike their sanctuaries from the air and support local forces taking them out on the ground. we will surge our intelligence so we detect and prevent attacks before they happen. we will disrupt their efforts online to reach and radicalize young people in our country. it won't be easy or quick, but make no mistake -- we will prevail. now donald trump says -- and this is a quote -- "i know more about isis than the generals do."

no, donald, you don't. [cheers] : he thinksn that he knows more than our military because he claimed our armed forces are a disaster." well, i've had the privilege to work closely with our troops and our veterans for many years, including as a senator on the armed services committee. i know how wrong he is. our military is a national treasure. we entrust our commander in chief to make the hardest decisions our nation faces, decisions about war and peace, life and death. a president should respect the men and women who risk their

lives to serve our country. including the sons of tim kaine and mike pence, both marines. so just ask yourself, do you really think donald trump had the temperament to be commander in chief? donald trump can't even handle the rough-and-tumble of a presidential campaign. he loses his cool at the slightest provocation. when he's gotten a tough question from a reporter, when he's challenged in a debate, when he sees a protestor at a rally. imagine him in the oval office facing a real crisis.

a man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons. i can't put it any better than jackie kennedy did after the cuban missile crisis. she said that what worried president kennedy during that very dangerous time was that a war might be started, not by big men with self-control and restraint, but by little men, the ones moved by fear and pride. america's strength doesn't come from lashing out. it relies on smarts, judgment, cool resolve, and the precise and strategic application of power.

that's the kind of commander in chief i pledge to be. and if we're serious about keeping our country safe, we also can't afford to have a president who's in the pocket of the gun lobby. i'm not here to repeal the second amendment. i'm not here to take away your guns. i just don't want you to be shot by someone who shouldn't have a gun in the first place.

we will work tirelessly with responsible gun owners to pass common-sense reforms and keep guns out of the hands of criminals, terrorists, and all others who would do us harm. you know, for decades, people have said this issue was too hard to solve and the politics too hot to touch. but i ask you -- how can we just stand by and do nothing? you heard, you saw family members of people killed by gun violence on this stage. you heard, you saw family members of police officers killed in the line of duty because they were outgunned by criminals. i refuse to believe we can't find common ground here. we have to heal the divides in

our country, not just on gun, but on race, immigration, and more. and that starts with listening to each other, trying, as best we can, to walk in each other's shoes. so let's put ourselves in the shoes of young black and latino men and women who face the effects of systemic racism and are made to feel like their lives are disposable. let's put ourselves in the shoes of police officers, kissing their kids and spouses goodbye every day and heading off to do a dangerous and necessary job. we will reform our criminal

justice system from end to end, and rebuild trust between law enforcement and the communities and they serve. and we will defend all our rights -- civil rights, human rights, and voting rights women's rights and workers' rights, lgbt rights, and the rights of people with disabilities. and we will stand up against mean and divisive rhetoric wherever it comes from. for the past year, many people made the mistake of laughing off donald trump's comments, excusing him as an entertainer just putting on a show. they thought he couldn't possibly mean all the horrible

things he says, like when he called women "pigs" or said that an american judge couldn't be fair because of his mexican heritage, or when he mocks and mimics a reporter with a disability, or insults prisoners of war like john mccain -- a hero and a patriot who deserves our respect. at first, i admit, i couldn't believe he meant it either. it was just too hard to fathom, that someone who wants to lead our nation could say those things, could be like that. but here's the sad truth -- there is no other donald trump. this is it. and in the end, it comes down to what donald trump doesn't get -- america is great because america is good.

so enough with the bigotry and in bombast. donald trump's not offering real change. he's offering empty promises. and what are we offering? a bold agenda to improve the lives of people across our country, to keep you safe, to get you good jobs, and to give your kids the opportunities they deserve. the choice is clear. every generation of americans has come together to make our country freer, fairer, and stronger. none of us ever have or can do it alone. i know that at a time when so much seems to be pulling us apart, it can be hard to imagine how we'll ever pull together , again. but i'm here to tell you tonight progress is possible.

i know because i've seen it in the lives of people across america who get knocked down and get right back up. and i know it from my own life. more than a few times, i've had to pick myself up and get back in the game. like so much else in my life i , got this from my mother. she never let me back down from any challenge. when i tried to hide from a neighborhood bully, she literally blocked the door. "go back out there," she said. and she was right. you have to stand up to bullies. you have to keep working to make things better, even when the odds are long and the opposition is fierce. we lost our mother a few years ago, but i miss her every day.

and i still hear her voice urging me to keep working, keep fighting for right, no matter what. that's what we need to do together as a nation. and though "we may not live to see the glory," as the song from the musical "hamilton" goes, "let us gladly join the fight." let our legacy be about "planting seeds in a garden you never get to see." that's why we're here, not just in this hall, but on this earth. the founders showed us that. and so have many others since. they were drawn together by love of country and the selfless passion to build something better for all who follow. that is the story of america. and we begin a new chapter tonight. yes, the world is watching what we do. yes, america's destiny is ours to choose.

so let's be stronger together. my fellow americans. let's look to the future with courage and confidence. let's build a better tomorrow for our beloved children and our beloved country. and when we do, america will be greater than ever. thank you, and may god bless the united states of america! ♪ [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2016] [captioning performed by the national captioning institute,

but first, a political leader in north carolina. >> good evening. tonight as thee son of a preacher, a preacher immersed in the movement at five years old. i do not represent any organization, but i come to talk about faith and morality. i am a preacher and i am a theologically conservative goal liberal evangelical physicists biblicist. i know it may sound strange that i conservative because i worked to conserve a divine tradition that teaches us to walk humbly

with our god. i have had the privilege of traveling the country with other as we areand sisters working together in the revival and calling for a moral revolution of thousands. as we travel the country and see these things, that is why i am so concerned about those that say so much about what god says so littlewhile saying about what god says so much. so in my heart i am troubled and i am worried by the way faith is cynically used by some to serve hate, fear, racism, and

agreed. he the voice of the scriptures. we need to listen to the ancient and 50.n which the call the prophet isaiah calls out what i am interested in seeing lord, payy that people what they deserve, share your food with the hungry. do this and then your nation shall be called a repairer of the reach. jesus, a brown-skinned palestinian jew, called us to preach good news to the poor, and the bruised, and

all those who were made to feel unaccepted. our constitution calls us to commit our government to establish justice, to promote the general welfare, to provide for the common defense, and to ensure domestic tranquility. never livede have this vision perfectly, but this ought to be the goal and the heart of our democracy. and when religion is used to camouflage meanness, we know we have a problem in america. there have always been forces that wanted to harden, even op democracy, but there have always been people who stood sisterr, disturbed what dorothy day called a revolution of the heart and what dr. king

called a radical revolution of values. some to you tonight that issues are not left versus right or liberal versus conservative. they are right versus wrong. we need to embrace our deepest moral values and push for a revival of the heart of our democracy. reinstate theto power of the voting rights act nullificationhe of congress we in the south essentially know when we do that we are reviving the heart of our democracy. 15 and a unionor

and universal health care and public education and immigrant rights, we lgbtq are reviving the heart of our democracy. when we develop tax and trade policies that no longer funnel our prosperity to the wealthy few, we are reviving the heart of our democracy. hear the legitimate discontent of black lives matter and we come together to renew justice in our criminal justice ourem, we are impressing

deepest moral values and reviving the heart of our democracy. when we love the jewish child , thehe palestinian child muslim and christian and the hindu and the buddhist and those who have no faith, but they love reviving thewe are heart of our democracy. and whenight for peace we resist the proliferation of military-style weapons on our and when we stand against the anti-democratic

we areold of the nra, reviving the heart of our democracy. totimes like these, we ought make some decisions, and i might not normally be here as a preacher and an individual, but hillary's positions, i know she is working to embrace our deepest moral values, and we should embrace her. clear, let me be personthat she nor any can do it alone. the watchword of this democracy and the watchword of faith is "we." the heart of our democracy is on

the line this november and beyond. me, my friends, they tell that when the heart is in danger, somebody has to call an emergency code, in somebody with a good heart will bring a defibrillator to work on a bad heart, because it is possible to shock a bad heart and revive the pulse. in this season when some work the hardest and stop the hearts of our democracy, we are being called like there mothers and fathers to be the moral defibrillator of our time. we must -- we must shock this

nation with the power of love. we must shock this nation with the power of mercy. we must shock this nation and fight for justice for all. on the hearte up of our democracy, not now, not ever! and so i stopped by here tonight to ask, is there a heart in this house? is there a heart in america? is there somebody that has a heart for the poor and a heart for the bountiful? then stand up.

vote together. organize together. fight for the heart of this nation. and while you are fighting, mn, " may itold hy be so rekindled with fire from above." hallelujah! >> please welcome the nation's first cultural disaster, kareem abdul-jabbar -- first cultural ambassador, kareem abdul-jabbar.

we still wonder what made him take those 10 steps,'s father said in a recent interview. maybe that is the point, where all the founders, where all the service to country, all the things he learned in this country kicked in. it was those values that made him take those 10 steps. those 10 steps told us we did not make a mistake in moving to this country,'s father finished. we are stand up and say americans. we will not turn on each other or turn on our principles. that is what we do here. that is who we are. that is how we will win. that is the america i know makes us also proud to be a part of. thank you all very much. welcome mr. khan

loses, a party wins or state -- at stake in this election is the very soul of america. the week we heard republicans lay out their unfortunately, it offered no new solutions, but it is clear that their plan is to fan the flames of fear and offer a scapegoat for all of our problems. marketingcampaign is a great distraction, using people's fear and anxiety to drive his ratings. their message comes down to this , be afraid of people who are different. be afraid of different religions and different colors and different languages.

republicans say they want to make america great again, they say they want to take us back to the old days, the good old days. i want to know what good old do they want to take us back before middle low wage and worker protection laws, or do they want to take us back before roe v wade, or do we have a different vision? we are not going back. we are going forward. they say they want to make america greater than ever before. we say you have not seen anything yet. you watch what we are going to do with america.

you think america is great now. you think america is great now. imagine how great america will be when every child is educated to their god-given talents. honest. right now in this country we education systems, not public and private, but rich and poor, and you go to a school on the rich side of town and they will show you how in the first grade all the children are on laptop computers. and you go to a school on the poor side of town, and you will see the most sophisticated piece of electronic equipment is the metal detector will on the way to the school. that is not educating every child equally.

democrats, they are just dreamers, that they cannot make it happen. well, maybe we are dreamers, but we are also doers. fdr lifted a nation from depression. jfk lost our mission to the moon. lbj and active voting rights for all americans. president obama delivered health care coverage for 20 million uninsured americans. and mario cuomo was a dreamer, progressive government is working in new york. toraised the minimum wage $15, the highest in the nation, because we insist on economic justice.

enacted paid family leave because all workers deserve dignity. we are rebuilding our middle class and we are working hand in hand with organized labor because the middle class is the backbone of this society. protecting the environment by fanning fracking because this is the only planet we had. we have fought the nra, and we won, and we outlawed assault weapons from madmen who are killing us. equalityssed marriage and gender equality, and we did

it not because the supreme court said we must legally, but because people believed we should morally. now, these are not dreams. these are realities. progressive government works, and we proved that progressive government works, and we did it together without leaving anyone behind and without leaving anyone out, because we believed that we are all interconnected and we are all interrelated. one.e we say there is a cord that tonects you to you and you me, and one of us is raised we all raise, and when one of us is lowered, we are all lowered.

republicans say our vision of community cannot work, but we know we can, and we know it will, and we have seen it happen, and we have seen it up close. on september 11, please all death and we saw destruction, and we saw unimaginable harbor and cruelty. but we also saw something else, my friends. these all this nation come together like it had never come together before. we were not texans and californians or new yorkers. we were americans. we were not democrats and independents and republicans. we were americans. we were not muslims or christians or jews. we were americans. we were not black or white or brown.

we were red, white, and blue, and these are the only colors that matter in the united states of america. and in that moment, in that and we we were one, achieved community, and we were there for each other, and we were there the way a family is there. we cried together, more together, and then we got up and we rebuilt together, and that was america at its best. freedom tower stands taller than ever before, and it is a monument to the facts that when this country comes together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish, and there is nothing that we cannot do. it for a was one of --

niles, ohio, an old manufacturing town in the steel belts halfway between cleveland and pittsburgh. when our largest steel plant closed in 1977, 5000 workers lost their jobs overnight. over the next decade, 40,000 more lost theirs. families were wrecked, communities destroyed, and we felt betrayed. we were fighters. gritty, we stuck together, and we never lost the basic american value of respect for work and respect for workers.

for 40 years, my grandfather was a steel worker. life, on ae in his snowy, with three, ohio morning, he asked me to take him grocery shopping. we would go to one store for meat, another for cheese. he was always looking for the sales. many hours later, with one last grandpa,, i asked, could we please go to the closest store no.he said the meat cutters are on strike, and we will not cross that line -- that ticket line. that was how i was raised. that is how many of you were raised. when in doubt, we are on the side of the worker, because we

respect the men and women who punch a clock, the ones who shower after they get home from the job. who goect the fighters to work early, stay late, and pour their hearts into what they do. donald trump, not so much. he has been standing workers in the back four years. -- for years. rich -- and now he says he is going to bring our jobs back. ain't buying it. this guy cuts deals to make the inmp line of products

bangladesh, not pittsburgh, not niles. edit he really cared him if he really cared about our jobs, he would have hired some of our people. mp will take care of millionaires like him, but what about the rest of us? we will end up holding the bag again. economists say he has promised so many tax breaks to rich guys and corporations that it will 3.5 million jobs and put us $30 trillion in debt. meanwhile, he says, he will let wall street gamble with our economic security again. this is not a roadmap for a better future. inis what tanked our economy

individualism, our economy is stronger together. as a small businessman, then mayor of never, and now small businessman in the mayor of denver and now governor, i see how partnerships driving economies. colorado has the strongest in the country. he doesn't pay his bills. i spent some time with hillary. she gets it. tremendous changes are making people feel that they aren't want it anymore. i remember that feeling.

they are no longer needed. not only the importance of education and training, but streamlining regulations, expanding access to loans, incentivizing information, and supporting transformation of new ideas. told her about the apprenticeship initiative that allows kids to take classes to help them be more successful in their jobs. partnerships can lead to opportunity. why she wants to offer tax incentives for companies that offer apprenticeships in underserved areas. hillary clinton is going to work for the young.

the democratic and republican conventions. >> what i learned from the republican convention is that donald trump appears to be someone that will listen to people around him. he was very coherent and he stayed on track. and he didn't go off in the left

field. they are watching the democratic convention, and unfiltered observation by me. i noticed the first night they did not have any american lags to speak of. i guess they got hit for that and then they started appearing. and listening to hillary clinton was pretty much the same thing that she says all the time. i tried to look beyond her which sheelivery admits she is bad at herself. but the content, i thought it was just like any group that she picked out, who wants to be

queen for a day. she's trying to pander to all the different groups. and i just don't trust her because of everything that's been happening. >> what did you learn from the convention? >> i enjoyed what she is saying. hillary clinton may not be on every issue of their concern, hasshe has compromised, she

been going forward in this , to don't stop them moving forward. should have they bernie sanders and other independents that have come out. they will get everything and go back. >> we will learn about the role virginia has. clinton vows to role as unifier.

can you tell us what both hillary clinton and donald tru p have? i think we may have lost the connection with mr. shapiro. we will try that back. in california? are you there? good morning. conventions both and there is a huge contrast between the republicans and the democrats. it's been that way for several wasentions, but this year the biggest contrast.

so republican convention is negative. full of hatred. full of unbelievable stuff. it is the same last year. this year was just over the top. i was watching the munich rally in 1933. or even like a mussolini rally. it's unbelievable with going on in this country and i really they will look more of an open mind.

the phone with us is jeff schapiro. for hillary clinton and donald trump, what faces them in the commonwealth of virginia as they campaign there? jeff schapiro, are you there? we are having connection problems with him so we will see if we can connect with him later on in the program. what did you learn from the convention? we watched them play out over for republicans. they will go to dorothy in cleveland, ohio. she is joining us on the democrats line. conventions both and what i saw was a

set of hate and discrimination. i watch the democratic convention, and i saw what america looks like.

even the efforts in haiti after the earthquake. therefore i am voting for donald trump. hillary says she will do this and do that and kind of panders to different groups. in the end, she worries about her own interests first. and i just don't trust her. she's not honest and i can't afford to have someone is dishonest as she is and have her track record of what been going on in the last eight years while she was secretary -- the duration of the time that she served as secretary of state under barack obama. the democrats to line and hear from duty in sarasota, florida. caller: thanks for taking my call. i am a retiree. i am a proud democrat. and i'm going to tell you something.

if i wasn't proud before, this last week at the convention -- i have so much hope for our future. i have so much hope for everybody that's going to work together as a unit. and i am 100% behind hillary clinton because she is a shining light. to the independent line in massachusetts. donna, go ahead. caller: thanks for taking my call. bernie sanders phase during hillary's speech last night, he looked so down and out. he realizes what everybody else does, she's not going to keep her promises to him. but shes his voters will try to do what he likes. his ideas are not going to come across. host: sounds like you were a birdie supporter to begin with. caller: not at all, i'm trump

america -- [indiscernible] america, i believe all of us can do it. the true american dream. donald trump has been in public life for only a year. in the way he talks about women. the way he made his money. hillary has been there for years. host: we are following hillary clinton wraps up several days of a bus trip through pennsylvania,

to ohio. to donna in bryant, arkansas. caller: hello. make on theoint to convention last night. is that ok? host: absolutely. i saw friends of hillary. i saw her husband. i saw her daughter. , as a platform for her thirtysomething years in service, her main goals were for children. then, not one mention of the hundreds of thousands of unborn babies that have been murdered. hypocritical.

totally hypocritical. i can't see how you can have your whole life centered around children and the love of children, but not share that love of aborting babies. i don't get it. democrats are all hypocrites. aberdeen, north carolina, on the democrats line. caller: i am calling to say i watched the convention. i have been trying to get through since last night. i am for hillary all the way. i would also like to say that there are so many people quoting the bible but there is one scripture you need to know. let he who is without sin cast the first known -- stone. i'm casting my vote for hillary clinton. people say that they are

of the democratic convention? caller: i watched both. i haven't heard anything on the issues and i wanted to give both .arties a fair shot i've been a republican for 35 years. i'm switching my vote to hillary. the republicans are talking about negative and they are not talking about the issues that i've heard. host: yeah. caller: that is what hillary did. she impressed me with the issues that she did cover. and the situation our country is in, i can't see anybody, to be honest with you, voting for donald trump. voted for aou ever democrat for president before? caller: no. host: on the independent line, this is george. caller: good morning.

i watched both conventions. i'm a huge bernie fan. my whole family was backing bernie. after watching both conventions, i am leaning more towards supporting hillary. there is no way that trump is going to get our vote. he's definitely a megalomaniac. thing that troubles me still about hillary is the lack of understanding of what, specifically, is hurting american workers. these h-1b visas, these trade agreements. they are definitely hurting americans. the outsourcing. the importing of foreign workers. that is what i have not heard her speak to specifically. what do you think the influence of bernie sanders was on the policies, the platform of the democrats? toler: i think he was able

at least get some recognition that the tpp and trade policies needed to be reviewed. i don't really know much about the specifics of how much the platform was changed to make that happen. i believe something was done, but i'm still not having that feeling that enough was done. that they will have a full throated laborers movement. bill clinton was the original corporate democrat and we can't have a version two of that with hillary. host: thanks for your comments on the tpp. the first signs couple of days, mostly from bernie sanders. the white house correspondent and today's white house briefing, the white house also reaffirms its commitment to pursue congressional approval of

tpp trade agreement despite opposition from hillary clinton. to the democrats line, laurel, maryland. i wanted to make a comment of something i saw on facebook for donald trump. donald trump said he wanted to knock somebody's head that's what kind of president talks about that? he talks about hitting people? i don't think he is a reasonable guy. host: donald trump has been keeping an eye on the democratic speeches at the convention, as well as this speech here today. a short while ago, he tweeted out this.
