fast track. we have a number of vaccine candidates. the first one on the top is a dna vaccine candidate. we will be going into phase one trials in humans within the next couple of weeks. sometime in early august. stay tuned for that. we will do that criteria in the washington area. we'll do it in about 80 individuals who are normal people from 18-35. that is what you do. make sure it is safe. once you know it is abuse of the response, then you move on to a phase two and phase three study. the reason i say that this is to realize that we are on a very much fast track. slidend with this last which is kind of a book and to one of the first slides. yet again, another virus challenge.

we are dealing with an emerging infection. one of many emerging infections. i wrote a commentary a few years and thatmy colleague entitled it a perpetual challenge. the reason i did is because this is not ever going to go away. we will be continually challenged with emerging and reemerging infections. it is up to us as a society to build what we need to build to be prepared for this so we can respond. i will stop there and happy to answer questions. thank you. [applause] >> [indiscernible] on tellingcomment

congress what they should do with regard to their session. i can do is reiterate what i ,aid many times in briefings but members and staff over a period of a couple months say that we really do need the money. activities we initiated early on, months ago, this vaccine put into clinical trials , did not all of a sudden start yesterday. the cdc has a working for months on thanks. will we both did is we took money from other accounts that we would normally be spending on of the important things and we put into our zika activity so we would not slow down with the cdc is doing and not slow down vexing bellman. we are getting to the point very soon will run out of the money

we borrowed from ourselves. we really need the money right away. how we get that, what congress does, i can't speak to that. emphasize -- can emphasize we need the money. what the fda has done is quite prudent. i do know what the politics, given the local transmitted cases, with the fda said is ultimately we want to test the blood the way we test for other things to keep the blood supply safe. it will take us a little while to implement the testing. in order to be really safe and to not take any chances in the two areas where there is local transmission, they are closing down and not accepting blood donations so that you cannot

contaminate but as soon as they get the implementation of the mechanism whereby you can decontaminate the blood, and they will go ahead and start collecting blood again. what they did with the prudent thing. >> i think there were quite a few audience questions. i want to lead and with a couple questions. i think they will become in. -- common. then i will open it up here. miami,st question, on this is not unexpected. confirming and think it is highly likely that the first cases of locally transmitteda virus by mosquitoes are there. this is as expected. addicted this with dengue and chikungunya. if you can expect to be on its a little bit more about the implications here and is this

the next part of a new phase? is the is happening now kind of implementation that went on with the dengue and chikungunya. you said correctly, this is not unexpected. it is not unexpected that when you get a certain number of travel related cases, particularly with the state of florida where there are a few hundred of these that the chances of a mosquito biting one of those and biking someone who never traveled gets greater and rater as you get more travel related cases. as you started to see, the travel related case number going up, i had to revise my style -- slide twice a day as it was going up. it became clear that the ingredients were there.

mosquito, summertime, there is we don't have that opportunity to spend a lot of time in air-conditioned or good screens, it will happen. when it does happen, and even before, that is when you have very aggressive mosquito abatement. that has executed in the past. given the conditions of our country as a broad nation, it is unlikely that we are going to have the same sort of the 70 outbreak we had in brazil or puerto rico. officials andth public health conscious populations, we must assume that that could happen and that is the reason why you get very aggressive and try to prevent and treat if you are try to ask me if i think it will have to come i don't think so. that does not mean me to relax and be cavalier. we have to be very aggressive about the things that you do to prevent mosquito transmission. you get rid of the mosquitoes, get rid of the -- have the

population, pregnant women, if they are living in the area, protect themselves against mosquitoes and their multiple ways to do that. it seems like all this but, they are there. stay indoors. broken.ens that are to there when you go out extent possible with comfort, where clothes that cover most of your body. in the present is in, where insect repellent, particularly .eet if we do that, we can have a major impact on not allowing this to spread. >> mosquito control, when i do my did not see on the slide, technology, genetically modified mosquitoes. are these technologies ready? >> good question.

some who think they are ready for prime time. some who think that we have to learn. make sure whatever you really something to the environment you don't find out there are unintended consequences. there is a lot of work going on in some companies themselves art executed as well as research we're supporting to look at the ways in which you can directly impact the mosquito to help us to stop the transmission. genetically modified them, that in infected bacteria. not for the -- bad for the mosquito and does not allow the buyers to get inside the -- fires to get into the mosquito were to be transmitted. there is some promise for mosquito manipulation without killing the bugs. there is concern among some about and bilateral issues. >> -- environment issues. >> the political battle has caught many by surprise.

had h1n1, 2009, ebola, tony fortson come all of these cases there were deliberations and discussions and debates in the funding needed, this has been different. what has been your impression today of the administration and congressional deliberation? are you optimistic? >> their multiple questions there. let's look historically at what is happening. february, the president called us to the white house together with a variety of other officials and really wanted to know what you guys and ladies need to address this epidemic. we put together a proposal which came out to $1.9 billion. multi-agency. not just one.

$1.9 billion. that kicked around back and forth in the congress. quick senate came with 1.1. the house came 622 million. they can together again and made a proposal of 1.1 but they started adding things to it which was very frustrating to us who were nonpolitical people get myself saying, let's over this. we have to get this money. i do know how you will do it, but what's get the money at everything. for one reason or another, which you know as well as i, it did not been appropriated. they went out for the fourth of july recess and came back for a couple days in a memo to the convention and now they're out for the summer. very frustrating because as i said, we are going to run out of money pretty soon. amped up to better on topics,

but i want to cover a couple errors in the moon come back to these, given that the olympic scenario will start -- olympics in rio will start in a week, they summarize how the lipids may or may not impact the trajectory? there was some scientific and discussion and i think it's more consensus now that it's a probably something that we need to worry about as much as previously thought. can you touch on that? and for the u.s. travelers, what advice do you have? >> all good questions. the first thing so people don't get confused, the heiress in south america including brazil, brazil had a massive outbreak in january and february, in their summer, which was our winter. we are now in their winter which is our summer.

the mosquito issue has dramatically decreased. historically, during the month of august, with a may have a lot of dengue, it always seems to go down in august. the same way with other diseases like this. right now, the infections with sica are at a very low level. nonetheless, if you are a pregnant woman, might be pregnant, think you could be pregnant, do not travel to brazil. brazil is still a place where there's active transmission. do not travel to the places where there's active transmission. i'm going to tell you that the risk to someone who is not pregnant is really low. unless, and it's a relatively mild disease with the few outlier exceptions that i mentioned.

you can't go down and say, there is no risk. is risk free.e the risk is very low if you are a healthy person. you also at the question, and impact on the infectious on the rest of the world? a lot of discussion. if all the people come to brazil and they all get infected and go to other countries, will we be helping to spread the disease doctor the answer is very unlikely. if you look at the number of people that come back and forth to south america anyway, notwithstanding the lipids, and you compare that to the additional people who come to the lipids, the delusional factor is that such it is not a very much weaker percentage of people that travel. that is something people don't realize that they think that you have this desolate place the to

and then the neolithic scum you have millions of people come. -- travel back-and-forth >> one more question. you have advised the last five u.s. presidents. with respect to zika, if you were to advise the two current presidential candidates on how they could exhibit leadership on zika and political leaders debate on how they could exhibit leadership on sica, what advice would you give our political leaders? >> something we have been talking about for some time right now. thatuld be the obvious when you have a public health challenge like we do, do whatever you can to get the resources that we need. the other thing i would say is

that we need a different way of responding to public and global health emergencies. just the last couple of years from 2014 to 2016, with ebola and easy got has shown us that we cannot be chasing the problem. we have to be prepared for the problem. my strong suggestion, i could use advice, my strong suggestion would be that we have a global justc health reserve fund like you have a disaster fund for an earthquake or a hurricane . a fema like situation where if you need to move quickly, you don't have to go through something which in most circumstances is a very good process. the appropriations process. you present the budget, discuss it goes to the house and senate and go through congress, goes to the president. get signed.

when you have an emergency, you need to just take the money and do what you need to do. i think we need to do that in the public health arena and stop trying to change -- chase something effort happens. >> there are some promising progress on bipartisan agreement that we need some sort of fema like public health emergency fund. will on wood that people listen. let's open it up to questions. please state your name and affiliation if you would like. roth, when affiliation is usa track and field. i was on the board for 10 years and still try to stay active. i look at the issue in brazil

and you have the brazilian health ministry saying what you said, you use the term always. lower in august. and that is not the case. dengue ine was more was in february, march and april combined. this happened a little different. what is the risk? the risk is probably low. it could be fairly high. gets into the 90's and the winter. the average high as 78 degrees. often doesn't go below 60's. you have an environment where mosquitoes can do pretty well. there is risk. misstated, even the world health organization has it is very low in august.

the other thing is that nobody talks about anything else he can do to protect yourself of event was in literature and there are some things you can do but the government doesn't get behind it. , vitamin d. you going to pub med and you will find it works. not 100% but it will be significant. worth taking. same vitamin c. that also can kill viruses. it is not something that is easy to communicate because we don't have fda trials that have been approved for this. but they are there. it should be encouraged. if you're good to do some good, is probably worth it. if you look at the downside, there isn't any.

my take, there is an we have these studies. there isn't. is no science behind people say you take too much will be in trouble. i can go into great detail on that. thent out an advisor to u.s. some of the committee to the athletes -- olympic committee and the athletes and to others. someone would like to have a copy, i can to be a card. let me just, first of all, when you look at outbreaks, i never said there is no risk ever. anyone who says i would say that has never listen to me. the risk is diminished. compared to what it was in the winter. there were thousands of cases per reported in january and february there a few hundred a day reported now. the facts are that there is less ka nowow in brazil -- zi

in brazil ben chandler. when youd thing is have an outbreak that peaks up, it has a pattern by goes up and down. that is the way outbreaks are. we had an explosion in brazil and what we're seeing now is going down is the natural evolution. when you have a disproportionate n unpredicted season, it is because the season where usually happens it never really peaked you had a late peak. the same way we see every once in a while a strange distortion of when you have a new influenza outbreak a quiz on 2009. just to reiterate, the risk is much less now than it was in january but it is not zero and that is the reason why i will say it again, if you are pregnant, you should not travel

to an area where there's an outbreak and that includes brazil. >> there's an excellent modeling yale at university -- university saying exactly what the doctor does mention. mentioned. >> i wanted to go back to the basics on the blood supply. you mentioned if you are a normal healthy now and you get better. is that person's blood likely to be safe? remains in the sperm for 80 days? with the test showed that once they had it they would be disqualified? >> i don't want to make a definitive test. you would not be given but if you are infected. whether it is gone from your blood and in the seamen, he

would not be. they will be testing for the virus very soon. they are testing and puerto rico. in puerto rico. >> [indiscernible] asymptomatic, 80% of the people are without symptoms. 1% have symptoms. -- 20% of the people have symptoms. it is reasonable to assume that if you are a symptomatic, the virus is not going to stay in your body any longer than if you were symptomatic. the reason you can't say that is because you rarely examined in a symptomatically because they don't have symptoms. mold know that the regular -- run-of-the-mill

symptomatically and the virus stays in the buffer 7-10 days and stays in the urine for an extra week. that is one of the reasons we are leaning towards when we screen people, screening the urine providers because it gives you a longer window to see who was infected. >> thank you. i'm with congressional quarterly, has the lack of congressional action hindered administration's response and to think the new locally transmitted cases in florida will put additional pressure on congress to act? >> i can't speak for every agency so i will only speak for the national institute of health which i'm responsible. a fair amount of money from other accounts to do what i think is a very proactive

on theurt press research. nothing has substantially slowed, yet. i'm preciously close to the point where i don't have any money and things are going to start slowing. let makes by what i mean. we're going to start a phase one trial in august. it will be finished by the end of 2016. in order to smoothly go into a phase two trial, in the beginning of 2017, which will be done in the countries that have active transmission, i need to prepare the sites combined to prepare the clinics come prepared the laboratory, train the people, get everything ready to do the trial. theve to start that now at end of august. i'm don't get money soon,

going to delay the preparation which means what could happen is that we finished phase one and instead of smoothly transitioning into ways to, we'll have to delay the vaccine. we are not delayed anything up to now if we do not get money soon, it will have a ripple effect on the pie. -- down the pipe. threats.th emerging my question is, could you speak a little bit about the strain and i'mrto rico coming strategies -- upcoming strategies? >> the use of aerial spraying has been done right here in this country and it was one of the mosquitos used in

abatement when we had the dengue and the chikungunya outbreak. aresprays that are used approved by the environmental reduction agency. the situation a puerto rico has been somewhat problematic. there is a reluctance on the part of the puerto rican authorities to spread aerial spray. i can't get into that discussion but i'm not there with them talking about it except to say that the aerial spraying that has been done has been done safely to some effect. >> question all the way in the back. there's a microphone coming. of america blood center. i our members provide over half the supply to the united states.

one member is the provider of blood and software. i wanted to let you know that we have been in touch with them and they did begin testing today. they received a statement from theyda yesterday so immediately implement the testing. i want to make that clear. they're collecting and testing the blood and i also wanted to mention to the previous speaker as far as a symptomatic donors and i concerned, the fda also some months ago provided guidance and we modified the questions and we are deferring donors which means they can't donate if they have traveled to those areas message and time where they have symptoms or if they have had sex with somebody who has gone to both areas the fda has reacted quickly with guided to the blog community. in getting those tests out quickly.

i want to get back your question. she major question very clear. i'm in a cinematic person. i'm infected. i got to donate blood. the virus has been, i don't know i'm infected and the person sticking a needle in me does not know i'm infected. if i go there and i'm asymptomatic, if i do have a virus in my blood, the test will say you can't give blood. if i don't have virus my blood, there is no problem. the problem is solved. once you get testing, you saw not only the problem, also the problems of the matter. it doesn't make any difference. the test says if you have virus and you and if you don't the blood assay. >> would you mind commenting on

the role of contraception in preventing microcephaly? that is an interesting question. if you have contraception, you don't get pregnant you don't have a baby. if the question really should people consider delaying pregnancy and there are considerations for that. there are areas in which the health officials recommend people delay pregnancy during the major part of an outbreak. at thehould have disposal the ability to make the choice they want to make about whether or not the opinion or not. >> hello. i'm curious when it comes to mosquito abatement. what can state and local governments do specifically that would help us out or speed things up as far as they can sure it does not spread? it is a simple question but

it is a good question. that is what state and local health authorities do. do cdc does not come in and it. it helps them with it. it gives them funds so they can do it. many of these state and local health authorities do not have the resources to be able to do the so it is very much on the local and state health authorities to do it. the reason we have disparities in it getting done is that there is not a uniform distribution of resources, which is the reason why again, the gentleman asked me from congressional quarterly about the impact it might have, if you don't have money to help the state and local authorities with mosquito abatement, that could have an effect on the entire effort. >> removing standing water, breeding grounds, absolutely helpful. last question, here? go ahead, yes.

>> mike webb. twofold,ng a question, should be doing more generally, best practices for symptoms overall, and what are we really learning in terms of other hazards, in terms of how we can predict when that is coming up? dr. fauci: that is a good question. that is what we have been doing on a broader scale. a couple of years ago, we got havea situation where you a global health security network. the word security is because it involves all of the countries. and this is something that we have been working on, involving who,iple agencies, cdc, to have the capability at the local level of seeing something that involves at the time that it eve evolves.

and the other reason you do that is if you have the distribution, even among poor countries, that have the capabilities in place they can recognize the kinds of things. because you are not going, we, the global community, is not going to be able to prevent all emerging infections. that is just part of the ourselves.orld and it has always happened. it is happening now. and it will happen. what we can do is respond much more timely way. so your question is very relevant. what can we do to respond? and that global health security network is one of the ways we can do that. >> on behalf of the bipartisan politics center, i wouldn't think you so much for spending time. i know you are in demand, as we speak. if you have questions for dr. to run.e will have thank you for your service to the nation. thank you.

[applause] >> thank you.

to character. and we tend to think this is a bad guy, or this is a good guy. what to see that a lot of these men, who have been president, have different parts. they were compartmentalized, and some to do amazing things, and some could do disappointing things and horrifying. >> sunday night on c-span's q&a. >> one day after the democratic national convention came to a close, hillary clinton and senator tim kaine made their first appearance together since formally accepting the party's nomination. they spoke about issues that were not highlighted at the convention, and how it is a contrast to the republican ticket. this event is at temple university in philadelphia, and is 40 minutes.

>> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome senator bob casey. [cheers] >> alright, philadelphia. i have one question for you. i think you know the answer but i will go slow. are you ready to win for hillary clinton? [cheers] alright. now, secretary clinton is only about a couple yards away. [cheers]

and she is with senator kaine, so lets here one more roar to let them know we are here. [cheers] you got it. i want to first say how much we appreciate the work that the people of this city and its entire region did to put on a great convention. [cheers] mayor kenny and the police department and some many others made it possible. last night was a great night. [cheers] go ahead. [cheers]

it was a great night for secretary clinton, senator kaine, but also a great night for our country because last night and this week, the city and his party made history. i want to thank you for doing that. [cheers] it is my honor to represent the commonwealth of pennsylvania to introduce to you not only, and we know we are starting together, not only two great candidates, but also their families. [cheers] i will introduce them as the clinton family and the kaine family. [cheers] ♪ ain't mountain high enough ♪

[cheers]

listen, what a warm welcome. hello to philadelphia. you know, i will tell you, we come from virginia and we think we have the hospitality thing down pat/ . but philadelphia really showed off this week. [cheers] so, some thank yous. i want to thank my great friend and senate colleague bob casey, what a wonderful public servant. [cheers] and we are so excited to have another great pennsylvanian to join us in the united states and cginty., katie m [cheers] you have heard earlier today already from two the people who were absolutely key to making this convention work like a charm and that is our

congressman and mayor jim kenny. [cheers] governor, we share being chairs, we dnc surely have time. purgatory,o right by right to the golden gate because of what we have done. great public servant. [cheers] josh shapiro, so many great public servants. councilwoman sherell parker and bobby hill. it has been an incredible week and i cannot be prouder to be here in philadelphia and accept the request of a spectacular public servant, hillary clinton. [cheers] >> hillary. hillary.

hillary. sen. kaine: hillary. hillary. hillary. [cheers] i shared the other night at the convention how kind of weird i feel being here. i mean, i just grew up in such a nonpolitical household. my dad ran a union organized ironworker shop and mom and dad are here somewhere in the room. they are 81 years old. and they are having a great time together. [cheers] and i don't know if there are any irish-americans here, but they are standing with a buddy. [cheers] standing with a buddy from county cork. flewig flemming, who

over to surprise me. we are here as a strong family, all of us. we worked in my dad's business, my mom and dad and brothers and me, we pitched in. i know a lot of you come from family where if you have to help, and family says it, you have to help. i learned a lot from working for my dad. i learned a lot from a jesuit high school i went to. [cheers] jesuits aren't that big in every city. i'm glad to know philadelphia, glad to know that -- i bet there were a lot of pope francis catholics here before there was a pope francis. [cheers] but those values of hard work and of faith were my guiding principles and that is one of the reasons i developed such an admiration and friendship for hillary clinton. because those are the same values that have driven her, growing up and inspired by a methodist youth pastor, those are her values and she has been

living them, fighting for kids and families, putting them first for her entire career. [cheers] her entire career. in my own life, i took the lessons from my parents and took the lessons from the jesuits. and the missionaries in honduras. and i decided to be what virtually all of you are doing is to measure what i do by how it helps someone else. can you serve others. can you do good for others. it is not about title, not about money, not about prestige. not about popularity. it is not about anything other than serving other people. [cheers] and that is the kind of candidate she is. so, we are starting today this bus tour.

now, this is the part of the campaign i really like. i mean, you know, the big events are fun, but i don't like wearing a tie that much. so, i would rather just go out and pound the pavement. and we are starting a three-day bus tour and this is the first rally. [cheers] and it is no accident. this is the first rally. and then we're going to go across pennsylvania and go across iowa and secretary clinton is going to be laying out why she will be such a fantastic president. [cheers] a fantastic president. we're going to be drawing a contrast between hillary clinton's plans for the country and donald trump's empty plans. and no promises for the country. [cheers] you know her plans. i don't know, is there anybody

at temple that likes the idea of debt-free college? [cheers] she has pledged in the first 100 days of the administration to make a massive investment in new jobs, new education, work training, rebuilding the nation's infrastructure. fighting the battles she has fought time and time again. [cheers] and it is not just about what she says, it is that she delivers. i know you watched as she talked about -- [cheers] and as chelsea talked about. [cheers] her battling to get health insurance for 8 million american kids when she was first lady. [cheers] don't you want a president who knows how to battle and get things done for regular people who might not be able to get those things done without a great champion?

of course you do. [cheers] of course you do. so, that is what we will do over the next couple days. we will talk about creating jobs, talk about raising wages, talk about the leadership that america needs to play in the world. a leadership has to be based on alliances and building bridges and just using the relationships we have to defeat forces of terror, forces of prejudice and anti-semitism. we can do it when we work together around the world. [cheers] finally, and finally, in some ways, this is a thing that matters the most to me as a former civil rights lawyer, we want to make sure we have a community of respect. [cheers] right? [cheers] or as the civil rights leaders used to say, a beloved community

where people are not demeaned because of who they are, not dissed because of a disability, or lgbt or come from another country or their skin color is different or they speak indifferently which, but embraced. don't you guys call yourself a commonwealth, just like in virginia? that is different from the state. anyone in a commonwealth is saying the wealth we hold we hold in common. it has to be about everybody. bringing everybody together. and those are hillary clinton's values. now, the last thing i will say before we bring up our champion in the main event, i've noticed there are a few differences between hillary clinton and donald trump. [laughter] see, what is today,

friday? i will try to boil it down. you have seen donald trump pitch in a very dark and negative convention in cleveland, a very different view of this country. weren't you proud of how optimistic and upbeat and andamerica the country convention was here? [cheers] absolutely. [cheers] absolutely. absolutely. the republican convention was like a twisted and negative tour. it was not a tour of this country, it was a journey through donald trump's mind and that is a very frightening place. [cheers] that is a very frightening place. when it comes to the economy, we are at a college. we are at a college. can i ask you a question? and hillary, we have a you are

hired president. would you rather have a your hired president or would you rather have a you are fired president? [cheers] that is not that hard. and hillary, you have a bridge builder? would you rather have that or a trash talker? [cheers] a bridge builder. and and hillary, you have that character, before she was in office where she quickened and families first. this is important. this is important. if you want to know about trustworthiness and character of someone in public life looked to see -- [cheers] he got to the punch line. he got to the punch line. i like you. i like you. [cheers] [applause] >> hillary!

hillary! hillary! hillary! alright, now, look. if you want to know how you can use someone in public life, look to see if they had a passion before they got office. and whether they have continued the passion consistently throughout their time. and you know that hillary clinton and good times and tough times, in victory and defeat, through hell or high water, she has been putting kids and families first. and you also know that donald trump has had a passion, too. and that passion is donald trump. it is kids first, or me first. i'm so glad to be on the ticket. it is a history-making ticket. anything i can do to help us succeed and help his administration be a fantastic one from the first day to the

last. it will be my humble honor. please give a great philadelphia, pennsylvania, american welcome to our next president, hillary clinton. [cheers] mrs. clinton: hello. [cheers] [applause] [cheers] thank you all so much. [cheers] thank you. >> hillary. hillary. hillary. mrs. clinton: thank you very , very much. i have to begin by thanking our host, the people of philadelphia. [cheers] you know a little something about history. and about making history. and i'm so grateful to everyone

in this city who held such a great convention together and so gracious, welcoming, hospitable . , thrilledo grateful that so many americans from everywhere got a chance to see philadelphia. [cheers] to see what is in this great city. people kept coming back from going to museums and walks and other sites and tell me how much they were impressed. and so, i want to thank your mayor. thank you. [cheers] i want to thank your congressman, who tries to come home to philadelphia every day and i know why, he loves the city. bob brady. [cheers] i am always happy to be here

with someone who has been a friend for bill and me for so many years. servantordinary public and advocate, former governor and mayor, ed rendell. [cheers] [applause] now, like him, i have had the great pleasure of serving in the senate with senator bob casey. [cheers] and i appreciated his tenacity, the attention to detail, the work he did for you every single day. and so, i want to thank bob and i want to also recognize who i hope will be his partner in the senate come november, katie mcginty. [cheers] [applause]

and i hope the next attorney general for the commonwealth of pennsylvania, josh shapiro. [cheers] this has been such an invigorating and exciting week. as i said last night, we heard from the man from hope, bill clinton. [cheers] and we heard from the man of hope, barack obama. [cheers] [applause] and i was so excited to introduce to america our partners. it is going to be fun to travel with both tim and ann because they are going to demonstrate to the country what the people of virginia already know. there is no better people to

have in your corner then tim anne holden. [cheers] now, i don't know about you, but i stayed up late last night. [cheers] it was just hard to go to sleep. oh, thank you. thank you. it was so exciting. i have to tell you, it was also kind of overwhelming. i take deeply and with great humility the responsibility that this campaign imposes on us. there is no doubt in my mind that every election in our democracy is important in its own way, but i can't think of an election more important in my lifetime, and it is not so much that i'm on the ticket, it is

because of the stark choice that is posed to america in this election. so, when i did wake up this morning -- >> we love you hillary. so, when i did ll andmoving, and billin i started taking our coffee or asking that it be administered through an iv, we suddenly realized as of tomorrow, we have 100 days to make our case to america. [cheers] [applause] so, what better place to kick off this campaign than right here in philadelphia, where it all started 240 years ago. [cheers]

[applause] i believe with all my heart that our founders came together to create one nation because they understood what we understand. we are stronger together. [cheers] we pointed out during our four great days, of our convention, you heard something very different from the republicans. didn't you? we might as well have been talking about two different countries, or as someone said to me, two different planets. donald trump painted a picture, a negative, dark, divisive picture of a country in decline. he insisted that america is weak and he told us all after laying thathis very dark picture

i alone can fix it. that, ithed and heard set off alarm bells because just think about what happened here 240 years ago. think about our founders. a declaration of independence. writing a constitution. they set up our form of government, the longest-lasting democracy in the history of the world. [cheers] [applause] and you know, they get it. they get it. they get it, because they knew they did not want one person, one man to have all the power , like a king. and think about george washington, our first president. after he served, he step down.

voluntarily. people around him could not believe it. but he said no, this was the example we should set. a democracy requires something from all of us. not just people we elect, every single one of us. that example. set and i don't know any founder, no matter how strong they were, how smart they were, who believed that only they could solve our problems. >> hillary. hillary. hillary. hillary. clinton: and i will tell you something else, they also expected a raucous debate in america. but at the end of the debate, we have to come together and get things done.

don't we? [cheers] [applause] as tim said, we are going to get on a bus as soon as we leave here and we are going to drive to pennsylvania and into ohio. it is kind of nostalgic for me. my dad was born in scranton. i spent every summer of my life up in northeast pennsylvania. my father, brother, they went to penn state. [cheers] so, i know how beautiful this commonwealth is and how wonderful the people are, but we have work to do. i'm not satisfied with the status quo. i'm not telling you that everything is just peachy, i'm telling you we have made progress, but we have work to do if we are to make sure everybody is included. [cheers]

and you know, i think that we have to have more good jobs. we have to raise wages. we have to tackle inequality. we have to make this economy work for everyone, not just those at the top. [cheers] [applause] and if you listen closely to the republican convention, you know that donald trump talked for 75 minutes and did not offer one solution. in fact, his speech, his own convention seemed more about insulting me instead of helping the american people. [cheers] [applause] so, here is what i have said i will do, we're going to get to work on the very first day. within the first 100 days of our administration, we are going to

break through the gridlock in washington and make the biggest investment in new good-paying jobs since world war ii. [cheers] [applause] we are going to do it with infrastructure, technology, clean energy, advanced manufacturing. [cheers] and i'm also going to pay special attention to those parts of our country that have been left out and left behind. from our inner-city to the small town. from indian country to coal country. from communities ravaged by addiction and places hollowed out by plant closures. anybody willing to work in america should be able to find a job and get ahead.

and stay ahead. that is my goal. [cheers] [applause] so, on our bus tour, we are going to be visiting a few places where people are making things. i find it highly amusing that donald trump talks about making america great again, he does not make a thing in america. except bankruptcy. [cheers] so, there is a lot to be done , my friends, and i'm excited. i am excited to have tim and a nne. as part of this team, and i'm excited to have the 42nd president of the united states as part of this team. [cheers]

the four of us are going to barnstorm the country, because as a very smart president, who just so happens to be here today once said, there is nothing wrong with america that can't be cured by what is right with america. [cheers] [applause] so, now, we had a great convention, but we have to go out and have to fight for our vision of the future. and i can't do it alone. i need each and every one of you, here is what i ask you to do, please join us, go to hillary clinton.com or text join to 47246. to be part of the campaign. and we are hiring organizers here in pennsylvania and across the country. [cheers]

and between now and election day, we are going to register 3 million more people. [cheers] [applause] and we are not just going to register them, we're going to get them to commit to vote. [cheers] we feel deeply the responsibility for continuing the work that started down the road from here 240 years ago. now, nobody who looks like me was thought to be possible to run for president back then. nobody who looked like barack obama was thought to be possible. [cheers] but contrary to donald trump, i

believe every time we knocked down a barrier in america, it liberates everyone in america. [cheers] [applause] >> usa! usa! clinton: i have to say, last night, after the end of our convention, i knew that every parent in this country could or daughterr son and now say the very same thing, too, could be president of the united states. thank you all and god bless you.

♪ announcer: hillary clinton and on aor kaine have embarked three-day bus tour that will stop in pennsylvania and ohio. we will have their final destination in columbus, ohio on sunday. that campaign event is at 5:30 p.m. eastern. you can see it here on c-span.

>> joining us from ohio, cleveland plain dealer, mr. brian, good morning. you had the republican convention in ohio. stemming from that, how does ohio look for donald trump? preface this by everything i said about donald trump's chances all the way through this conventions idle has been wrong. you are talking to the wrong guy, but you chose me, so here i am. ohioans view how their own circumstances. i think he will do very well in the parts of the state that clearly have not rebounded from the recession. in talking about a triangle between cleveland, youngstown, and akron. that area. i think there is fertile ground for him. there may be fertile ground for him in the southern part of the state, which has been viewed as more conservative, the cincinnati area, hamilton,

butler counties, for example. those of the places where i think he can make headway. he has an very well in all of the states where there are large populous of people on disability. what that tells me is that people who feel like they have gotten a raw deal, either in the economy, war in life, are looking at donald trump as a possible way out of their bad circumstances. as a lot of that going on in ohio. less than in other states, but i think ohioans view themselves in general as put upon by the economy. host: we've been talking to other reporters about the ground game and the infrastructure. does mr. trump have that in order to capitalize on these areas of the state? guest: the ground game is lacking for him. my think the clinton ground game is going to be strongly, especially in the urban counties. i think that is what to be ground that he will have to make up. i'm not sure that structure

exists for him here. primaries, obviously, ohio was the state that was being counted upon to stop trump. even the ted cruz campaign was telling republican voters to vote for john kasich, the governor here. that worked out, the vote for john kasich came in fairly strong. he ended up winning the state. the only state he got during the primary cycle. but that tells you i think that trump was under structured here. i think that remains true today. clinton,far as hillary what areas of the state will should focus on, do you think? how is the state receptive to her in her message? guest: she's going to do well in the columbus area, franklin county, which is where columbus is the county seat has essentially become a government company town. it has trended blue in greater

i think she can expect to do well there. she has to do well in cuyahoga county. that has always been the anchor for democrats in ohio. if they do poorly there they generally lose the state. it's a heavily democrat area. hope to cutcan only into democrat success there as much as they can. they are never going to win the county but if they can come close, then they have a shot at winning ohio. democrats understand well if -- don't win ohio host: what does polling suggested that the sentiment of

the state towards these two candidates. i don't think i'm up on pulling at this point. you are going to see convention bounces. i think it is too early for us to figure anything out. thecan't count of libertarian and green party. host: what do you think the role of governor kasich is right now? role has been -- certainly was true on election primary. he was running his own show for sure.

anyn't know if he has intention of endorsing donald trump. some heat from the republican hierarchy for having failed to do that so far. i'm not sure what he will end up doing. i think the party structure will be for him. -- but the person at the top of the structures pretty agnostic. he likes to cite himself as a maverick. if it is more advantageous for and be ach to sit out, voice from the sideline that is what he will do. host: we have asking our caller

to talk to the convention should do you have a best and -- to talk about the convention. do you have a best and worst part of the convention? guest: on the cleveland area person. to holdt job city did them any demonstrations from getting out of hand. also i'm a conservative so i'm a little biased on this. my favorite part of the democratic convention was the figure part of both convention. the delegates showed a little bit of spirit and weren't going to let themselves be heard.

maybe the parties did like it but it was kind of a fun thing. the editorial page editor for the cleveland plain dealer, talking about a month's other things what is going on in the announcer: you will see democratic speeches by michelle obama, bernie sanders, bill clinton, joe biden, michael bloomberg, tim kaine, chelsea clinton, and hillary clinton. and sunday morning at 10:30 eastern, you will see rudy giuliani, donald trump, chris christie, ted cruz, eric trump, and donald yvonn

trump. sunday morning at 10:30 eastern on c-span, the c-span radio app, and c-span.org. >> republican presidential candidate donald trump made a campaign stop friday in denver colorado, where he gave his opinion of the democratic national convention, which came to a close this week in philadelphia. he also spoke about his own campaign moving forward. this is just under an hour.

mr. trump: big crowd. whoa! [cheers] thank you. this is beautiful. thank you, everybody. [cheers] thank you. thank you very much. [cheers] what an honor. we love denver. [cheers] do we all love denver? [cheers] yes. thank you. we have had an interesting period of time. we had a little bit of a good evening last night watching. right? >> boo! mr. trump: no? the numbers just came out for the big thursday. they call it big thursday. where i spoke last week and hillary, sometimes referred to as crooked hillary, spoke last night. [applause] mr. trump: she is crooked. and we had, i think it was 35 million and they had less. [cheers] like 33 or something. in other words, we had more.

and i have sort of been saying that. and i have to tell you, both numbers are great numbers. don't forget, on the debate, it was 24 million and that was a record. when you have 35 million people watching your convention, those are big, big numbers. but the republican convention outdrew the democratic big thursday the night. [cheers] always good. always good. ok. so, we have to go over some numbers, because hillary was talking last night about how wonderful everything is. she did not talk about all of the unbelievable long-term unemployment. she did not talk about the fact that house ownership is the

lowest it has been in 51 years. that is a heck of a number. whoever heard of that? she did not talk about the fact that we had more police shootings over the last year than, i mean, no one has ever seen anything like what is going on. over 50%. over 50% from the previous year. she makes it sound like everything is rosy dory. it is not. people are poor and across the border, we have no idea who they are, people are coming in from syria and you see what is happening with nice in the beloved priest. 85-year-old priest, he has his throat slit and dies. >> boo! mr. trump: and you know what?

our country has enough problems. we don't need more problems and that is going to be more problems. now, you know, should we read the snake? should we? does anyone know the snake? [cheers] should we do it? [cheers] ok. who has heard it before? because everybody says, would you do it? who has heard it? let me put it differently. who has not heard it? a lot of people. ok. before we do that, we will do it. i have to tell you, so last night was sort of unbelievable. i went home and i thought that hillary was not going to mention from. because i thought it would be class thing to do. she mentioned me 22 times. 22.

two things, it was a little bit on the boring side, wouldn't you say? so, not a lot of people, i don't think it register. we're going to see. you know, with the republican convention, i got a very good bounce. one of the biggest bounces in many years. right? we will have to see. we will have to see. we will have to see. because, the speech was really lies. you know, one of the things she talked about with the rough-and-tumble campaign. you know what this is? this is a speechwriter, writing a speech, and she read it, and that is what it is. and i hate to say this, politico wrote something. politico, they kill me all the time, very unfair. but they wrote something. they said it was cliche after cliche.and one of the things

they said, tough and tumble campaign, a tough and tumble campaign. now, we have created a movement. in the movements -- seen, look, i mean, look at this place. look at it. [applause] usa, usa, usa, usa, usa, usa! mr. trump: nobody has seen anything like this. what is that behind me? that is pretty top-looking. that is pretty tough-looking. we created a movement. and everybody says this is when the great campaigns that have ever seen. i mean, look, you were the forgotten man and woman. i was the guy that never did this before. i have had great success. i have enjoyed my life.

i have a wonderful family. by the way, did my family do a good job? right? they were talking about the star power. we know about star power. they were talking about the star power they had at the democrat convention. it should be democrat convention. sounds better when you say democratic. they were talking about the star power. i think my kids have more star power, i really do. general named john allen, i never met him, and he got up and started talking about trump, trump, trump.

he is a failed general. he was the general fighting isis. i would say he has not done so well. and they had other people, what difference does it make? hit after hit.r back so hard.m i am going to get them back so hard -- hit them back so hard and i will do it verbally, on television, twitter. facebook and twitter, 22 million people. can you believe it? that is a force. the last day, we picked up 100,000. far -- hit them back so

so hard and cnn that trump is going to hit them. i mean, i will hit them with this, verbally. " --these people are so dishonest. a friend of mine calls me up and he is a governor, a great governor. peoplew, we had guys and that said really bad things about me and he said, do not do anything. you got the nomination. you will beat hillary clinton. focus on hillary clinton. [cheers and applause] i really want to hit back. i mean this. i want to fit them.

we will do a verbal lashing on them and he said, don't do it. don't do it. maybe i will do just a little bit, right? left to other parts of colorado -- two other parts of colorado, which is a great state. i am here a lot anyway. i have so many friends here. we have to win the state on november 8. we have to. lot. am going to be here a i will be here so much that you people will say, we will vote for you, do not come back here anymore. we will have some fun. watching it last night. how was hillary? average.

not bad, not good. a lot of shouting. most exciting speech. -- who's awas better speech was better -- mine or hers? you know what they say, the haters, the world's most dishonest. they are the world's most dishonest people. show them the crowd over there. show them the crowd.

we have unbelievable people and we are going to make america great again. i got a kick last night -- go ahead. chanting usa acclamation !] watching like you are a big football game, right? denver! good team, good defense. you know what, john elway is a great guy. i played golf with him a long time ago. he is long and strong.

great defense and i think you will do great, right? my wife will always say, darling, did you have a big crowd tonight? they never show the crowd but it sounds it. noisennot imitate that with 100 people. amazing. you cannot imitate that. that is called the real deal. no matter where we go, we have crowds. the crowds are only restraint by the size of the buildings. -- restrained by the size of the buildings. when i heard some of the

statistics last night, and i thought chelsea did a nice job. chelsea likes yvonne got andy banca -- chelsea likes ivanka and ivanka likes chelsea. they like each other. i thought chelsea did a nice job last night. i really did. hillary, that is another subject. hillary said all sorts of wonderful things like we are doing great. here are numbers that came out today. we got new growth numbers. 1.2 percent for the second quarter. recovery inweakest modern history. did she say that last night?

i don't think so. i said this before, the rate of home ownership is the lowest level it has been in 51 years. did hillary say that last night? obama, keep the lights off, it just went down 20 degrees. wow. the audience is even bigger now. i like this. i miss my protesters. protesters, they were really bernie protesters. look at that. look at that.

it is the remnants of a bernie protester. that is ok. did you see bernie last night, how angry he was? . do not like to see that he was so angry, they were talking about him, and he was scowling and his wife put her hand on his shoulder and he did not move and she took it off. he sold his soul to the devil. he sold his soul to the devil. he should not have made that deal. as soon as she picked this vice president -- do you know what his first move was in virginia? raise taxes by $4 billion. unemployment almost doubled in

virginia while he was governor. he is not popular in virginia now. and we will win virginia. i have a lot of property in virginia. i have a lot of employees. i think -- i figured she would pick somebody who was popular. they do not like him in virginia. he raised taxes by $4 billion the first week in virginia. i like our candidate, right? governor mike pence. indiana has done so well. we like mike. we do. mike is a great guy. the rate of home ownership is the lowest it has been in 51 years. president obama has doubled our

national debt. we will soon be up to $22 billion. emptys. trade deficit -- billion dollars -- 20 trillion dollars. i have a very good memory. people know me for my memory. or i could not do this without teleprompters. in a room andple she has a teleprompter. listen to this. the u.s. trade deficit reached nearly $800 billion last year. hateve a trade deficit of hundred billion -- 800 billion. did hillary mention that last night? did hillary mention about all of

the police -- and we love our police and we love our law enforcement -- [cheers and applause] did hillary mention about all of the police that have been shot? i don't think so. did you see the first night, there was no american flag? the second night, no american flag. want theot really flag. the next night -- the final night, they overdid it. so many flags you could not walk on the stage. they did not mention the police. they mentioned everybody but the police. they mention them the final night. long-term unemployment is the worst it has been since the

1940's. did hillary mention not last night? -- mention that last night? 23.8 million americans in their prime earning years are now out of the labor force. another 14 million americans left the labor force. in 10 four african-american children are living in poverty. youth african-american are not employed. obama has done a great job, has and he? ma?asn't he question median household income has

fallen by more than $4000. we have people standing in this room who made more money in real wages 18 years ago than they are making today. they did not work as hard, hell of a lot younger. it should be the other way around. we lost our jobs, lost our companies, and we will not let it happen anymore. bringl get our jobs back, companies back, we will not let our companies leave anymore without repercussions. i could go on and on, but there are five pages and i do not want to depress you. --y said donald trump speech i thought i delivered it while. -- delivered it well. they said it was dark.

they said it was dark. it was not dark. it was optimistic because i talked about the problem and we will fix the problem. terrorism is a problem. big problem. that is a big problem. radical islamic terrorism. hillary did not discuss that too much. we are bringing in thousands of people from syria. we do not know who they are. we do not know where they come from. no paperwork, no way of vetting them and they are being placed here, all over the country, and mostly the officials do not know where they are placing them

because it is supposed to be a big and beautiful secret. hillary clinton has stated very strongly -- now she will change. now she wants to renegotiate trade deals. after 30 years, she wants to renegotiate trade deals. her husband signed nafta, the worst trade deal in the history of the world. hillary clinton wants to cominge syrian migrants into our country that we don't know who they are by 550 percent. no way. no way. becauseknow, i do laugh she is on a new kick and the new judgment,ou know, bad

everything she touches is not good. look at libya, the migration, , everythe iran deal single -- benghazi, look at what happened there. the 3:00 in the morning commercial, remember? phone atu want at that 3:00 in the morning? i do not want her at the found. at the phone -- at the phone. she lives like a dog about her e-mails. dog about herke a e-mails. she showed great negligence and what happened. -- in what happened. sheep us all at risk. us all at risk.

here is the secretary of state with a server she is not supposed to have. "lock her up"] i tell you what i would rather do, honestly. i would rather beat her at the polls. her.ve to beat she would be a disaster. remember this, justices of the united states supreme court. whoever the next president is, you will have at least two coup, ,robably three -- two probably three, maybe four. if she gets her appointment, we will be venezuela.

say, i was have to telling you about bernie sanders. they say it is one of the great stories and history of politics. the same thing is happening no matter where we go. i am the messenger of being smart, common sense, of not being ripped off by every country in the world. voters.g strong would anybody like to see the wall get built? 100%. 100%. 100% it gets built. these politicians come up to me and they go, i do not understand, you cannot build the

wall, can you? do you see that ceiling? we do not have to go much higher than that. usually, i am looking at a ceiling a lot taller. that would be a good solid wall. anybody that gets up is not getting down so easily. we will build a wall. these politicians come up to me and they say, you really can't build a wall. i do not kid. we will build a wall and i explained to them that 2000 years ago, the great wall of and it is 13,000 miles long. we need 1000 miles and we have caterpillar tractors, right?

how easy is this? we have a lot of natural borders. we will need about 1000 miles. that will go up so fast, your head will spin. by the border patrol agents. first time in the history, 16,500 border patrol agents, i joeendorsed by the great arpaio. nobody knows better than sheriff joe. he endorsed me. we have tremendous endorsements. i said to the top people, mr. trump, we are endorsing you. mr. trump, they are not letting

us to our job. how important is the wall? they said, the wall is vital. it is a great tool. we have to stop the drugs from coming in. we have to stop illegals from pouring across the border. you know, let me tell you, one of the interesting things -- the president of mexico was being interviewed and he said, the past president, and he said there is no way they are going to build -- and you know what happened. mb on livee f bo television. on that station right there.

mb.used the f bo can you imagine if i used it? it would be over. neverd, that wall will ever get built. and i said, that is great news. before they were going some a different levels. now he says it will not be paid for by them. we are going to build the wall, mexico is going to pay for the wall 100%. 100%. we will stop the drugs from pulling into our country and poisoning our youth. people that to stop are not supposed to be here from coming into our country.

that is going to happen. this -- people like it. this was actually a song written al wilson quite a while ago. this really pertains to what we talk about what we talk about illegal immigration. this. do i read it a couple of times and people love it. snake." this"the pertains to people coming across the border and people coming in from syria. cut the heads off people. they drown people in steel cages by the thousands.

heads.e cutting off this is like medieval times. and then they say to me -- they talk about waterboarding. i am ok with it, i am sorry. -- waterboarding became famous. they felt it was just short of torture. i am not saying it is pleasant. believe me, it works. they asked during one of the cruz,s, they asked ted and he was very uncomfortable. love,at a display of speaking of ted cruz? when they booed him off that

stage, seriously, the entire texas delegation booed him off at stage. want, they did not cover it that way. that is when you knew the party was united. other than a few guys -- it was the toughest primary ever fought . we had 17 people. and we had trump. remember when i came in and these and then's said -- and

pundit said, he will never run. he is just having a good time. it is 120 degrees under those crazy lights, it is late. do you know what time i get home tonight? 4:00 in the morning. othersll o'reilly and say it was the single greatest political phenomena that he has witnessed in his lifetime, he has seen a lot, that is what happens. offmber -- and we started at 6%. said, he got 6%.

6%, that will be his ceiling. 6% will be his ceiling. they speak with such surety. 12%.week, i get higher thana little i thought. a little higher than i thought, that will be his ceiling. he will not go higher than that. next we get 18%. then i get 22%. then they get 25%. 27% 30%. 32%. 36%. [cheers] then i get 38%. every single time, they say that will be the ceiling. when i'm hitting 30's and , you havelse is low

some zeros. out of millions and millions of people, nobody voted for them. go home, get out. they were among the nastiest of people. there were the nastiest ones. i had 38%. and then i hit 42. i will never forget, one of the people, i hit 42% and there were like 10 people left. they said, he hit 42%, but he cannot break 50. he cannot break 50%. i got 10 people. senators, governors. carson, a great guy, he endorsed me. smart guy, good guy.

i get 42% and have these idiots saying he may have 42%, but he does not have 50. we have 10 people left. here's the story. we get more and more and do a number and i will tell you what, it is a great feeling. a lot of feelings were hurt. because people say it was the nastiest, meanest, hardest primary ever fought in the history of the country. might have been tougher before television, but how could it be. when you can say something on television, you reach everybody at one time. you call someone a certain name and everyone hears it. some of these people have not recovered. but slowly but surely, marco rubio, he endorsed me lastee
