that sounds good and can get you elected, but other people's money always runs out. >> you say you are donald trump support. is there a particular economic policy or plan that he has set out that you like? i guess we have lost the caller. to teresa. fully clinton supporter. -- hillary clinton supporter. caller: thank you for taking my call. i'm a living example of every person who should not vote for hillary clinton. old, aoman, 70 years daughter of a call manning -- coal mining father, one of 10 ,hildren, a graduate of college

and a seminary them from earlham. i will vote for hillary clinton for four years but she better watch her talk -- walk her talk. as people used to say, or the in my -- inmates were used to teach, i spent a year in a monastery, two years teaching in prison and always thought i would be a schoolteacher or a mother and a wife and a farm. life surprised me. choice. different in terms of policies and issues,

i want clean fuel, our mountains have been raped and robbed and slaughtered. sy bible tells me god' righteousness and they may not be visible anymore, but they are still there. water.about carrying undermined the land when the -- my father would not give him the right. grounds would go in the that would break their legs. college,my way through it is one of the 10 top independent colleges in the united states. host: thank you for your call. we appreciate that. we want to move on and give a few other people a chance to weigh in on what they thought of hilly clinton speech.

working in the government, she even lays out the plan that she intends to enforce. i'm a firm believer that just because you can identify a problem does not mean you necessarily have the solution. he isre i was into trunk, great at identifying problems but he never gives a solution said to me, the choice is clear. you want somebody who has experience working in the government, being behind the scenes and the government, having a knowledge of what it headtake and having the that it will take to run the country to make those decisions that will not only affect you but affect the whole country and be logical and reasoning about

it. roger on the line. donald trump supporter. caller: thank you. libertariand of the candidate until a couple of days ago. i know nothing about him. clintonsough about the and how they have always had a paycheck paid for by the taxpayers. as far as i know they never had a private sector job. former private businessman. i was in business for over 35 years and i know how the treat small businesses. having read and heard the history of the clintons, both , they areillary

career criminals. they both should have been prison long before now. donald coming up have been my first choice but when it comes down to the choice we have now, to save this country, we don't need another obama and a pantsuit. host: thank you. hillary clinton and her economic policy address really today and worn, michigan. arren, michigan. now i want to move on into the donald trump event from earlier today. the republican presidential nominee was in orlando, florida this afternoon speaking to a gathering of evangelical pastors . we show that to now as i wrote to the white house coverage continues here on c-span.
