fundraising that in their cases theorting donald trump area irony is that hillary clinton she woulder campaign, have four principles by which she was going to run her presidential campaign. one of those four fights was campaign finance reform. hillary clinton has been outspoken about reforming the campaign finance system, about advocating against the citizens united decision, the supreme court decision that really changed the way campaigns are terms of outside money pouring into competitive campaign races. but even though she has advocated for all this reform, wants a constitutional amendment to overturn citizens united, which would be a very difficult thing to do? do, she has been the chief beneficiary of outside money, the money that has benefited from this citizens united decision.

host: money and politics, how it is being spent. that is our topic in the next 40 minutes. go ahead. caller: thank you for taking my call.

i placed my very first vote when i was four bill clinton, but after that i became a democrat. i always supported the republican party. this year i decided even though call after call from the republican party. i even got a call from marco rubio. i live in georgia. i decided this year we would trumponey only to the campaign. as upset we are about the obama policies, we are more upset about our party. -- i this year i am giving am not giving money to the republican party. from this point on, i will give money only to the candidate that i support, and as far as the on,blican, from this point we will remember those people like paul ryan that the only

time they could find the hotline was to say something about our nominee and has not defended his own party. i am a deplorable, and we will not forget that he could not denounce -- announced in support his own party's people. host: when you are talking about giving money this cycle, what sort of amounts are you giving money in? sir, i cannot even es.orted on my tax host: is it in the hundreds or the thousands? caller: i do not tell how much. i am an adorable the floor, but i am not about to announce how much. i did have to pay for a trump -- but i am not going to tell you how much. i will kill you this.

worker rubio's campaign, paul ryan's campaign, i get an e-mail every single day from portland, paul ryan in his -- portman, paul ryan. i am not about to tell you how much money i give -- host: within your right. when we are talking about fundraising, and one of the reasons i was asking, are we seeing a lot of --

mr. gingrich: wow. [booing] well, this is a great turnout. you realize there is another room. and i saw people outside as we were coming in. it leads me to be that i have a hunch who is going to carry florida. now, obviously, i am here to talk with you about donald trump for the presidency.

but i was talking to our folks in the media back there -- [booing] right, youh: ok, all do not like them as much as you donald, i get it, but they asked very serious questions. so i thought i would take a minute or two to talk at a very civil areas -- very serious level as a former stickier of the house, never of the defense board, and somebody who is really concerned about safety and survival in america. day secretarye -- ton

[booing] mr. gingrich: ok, ok. all right. all right, so i engaged -- i am guessing based on the noise level that you like her even more than the media. but let me try to go beyond politics to talk about national security and our survival,' and and oury clintons -- survival and secretary's clinton's comments today. initially we were reassured that we had no proof that new york

was a terrorist, and we were not sure that the incident in minnesota was a terrorist, but it was obvious. secretary clinton decided -- this is what makes it frankly weird -- in exactly the same pattern that she used about decided thee problem was not islamic supremacists. the problem was not isis. the problem was not international terrorists who want to destroy our civilization. conferenced a press -- four made a press statement, be -- or made a press statement, because she does not make press conferences -- well, let's be fair. difficult to have a

press conference if you have as many different examples of dishonesty, corruption, and error as hillary clinton. so she just does not have any hope that her friends in the media will not quite notice. had ame out and statement. she had figured out what was behind the knife attack in minnesota and what was behind what we now agree our bombings, even though the media attacked trump for saying they were bombings, because when a bomb goes off, it is a bomb -- even says it iss it so it not a bomb, it is still a bomb. so once again you heard donald trump telling the truth and

describing a bomb as though it were a bomb, which of course, the elite media was in in a restaurant, and then described and atsm and terrorism, some point people were contemplating heart attacks. but hillary clinton cut right through. the lie she told back in benghazi, which remember, she told the mother of a dead soldier was in fact caused by a film, even though she knew that was a total lie. [booing] mr. gingrich: and ask yourself, how cold and heartless do you have to be to lie to a mother about the death of her son? so secretary clinton came out today and she said the cause is clear.

it is donald trump. think about this. we have been at war with radical islamists since the ayatollah 1979,ni took over iran in sees the american and held hostages. we had bombings in the 1980's, in as, have been involved long war for 15 years, but hillary clinton has figured it out. donald trump, magically in 1979 without realizing, watched the terrorist war -- in 1979 he was not even in business in manhattan yet, but he was so precocious as a young man, that apparently all of this is due to him. do you know how deranged you have to be to say this with a straight face?

[cheeris] mr. gingrich: meanwhile, the white house says we are in a competition between two narratives. youdo know how out of touch have to be to reduce the deaths of 29 people to two narratives. this is not a fight between narratives. this is a struggle with extremist who would do sure us and we have to be strong enough to defend america and do what it takes to be safe. so once again -- you did hear that politically incorrect chant -- there are people over here

apparently who still think it is ok to say "usa." >> usa! usa! you say that is how you know it is a truck rally -- trump rally. clear as you go back home and talk to your friends, as you get on e-mail, twitter, facebook, and communicate with relatives and friends. we are in an election struggle u.s.en a first lady, senator, secretary of state, who is totally out of touch with policies puthose america at risk.

and a remarkable entrepreneurial has come out of nowhere in a way which is absolutely, historically unimaginable. i mean, i am a historian. i have written books about it, i have taught it. no one in american history has organized a popular movement on this scale, has done so in one year, and has done so without ever running for office. so in a minute, you are going to hear from someone who i believe can genuinely change history, and that really create jobs once reformcan literally help washington, can break up the eliminate thean

corruption which has come to characterize so much of our political class, and i believe he is somebody that at the bottom of his heart decided to do this because he really believes the country he loves is in trouble. thank you, all, for allowing me to come, to spend a few moments with you.

discuss.ous matters to let me again by thanking our incredible law enforcement officers who do not get the credit they deserve. but when i am president, they l get the credit they deserve. what a fantastic job they do. what a fantastic job they do. incredible. been islamic terrorist attacks in minnesota and new york city and in new jersey. these attacks and many others were made possible because of our extremely open immigration system, which fails to properly individualsen the and families coming into our

country. got to be careful. attack, from 9/11 to san bernardino, we have seen how failures to screen those who are entering the united states puts all of our citizens, everyone in this room, in danger. clearlye say very, very . immigration security is national security. why opponent -- my opponent has the most open borders policy of anyone ever to seek the presidency -- [booing] mr. trump: as secretary of state she allowed thousands of criminal aliens to be released into our communities because

their home countries would not take them back. they did not want to them. they did not want them. too bad. they said, keep them, united states, and she did nothing about it. 550% increase in syrian refugees above the high numbers we have already had. altogether, her plan to bring in 620,000 refugees in her first term with no effective way to in terms of-- lifetime welfare, benefits, and entitlement costs. -- cannot have that thing

vetting if you do not look at ideology can and hillary clinton refuses to look at and -- thist's ideology is not just a matter of terrorism this is a question of quality. of life. we are onlyake sure at many people into our country to love our country. we want them to love our country. and we want them to love our people. immigration that strengthens and uplifts our nation, people who come here, values, and our

they want to uphold the constitution. my highest duty as president is to protect our citizens and to uphold values, and they want to the constitution oe united states. i will honor that duty to the. extent to the fullest every single day, and i will iver, and i consider that a sacred obligation, sacred. fact that ourlain current immigration system makes no real attempt to determine the views of the people entering. since 9/11, hundreds of immigrants and their children from high-risk regions have been implicated in terrorism and terrorist-related activity in the united states -- hundreds and hundreds. the senate subcommittee on immigration, chaired by senator

jeff sessions, who is a truly hast senator and man, information in great detail, and we encourage you all to look at up. now we learn today that another 858 immigrants from dangerous countries have slipped into our country and have been granted full citizenship despite pending deportation orders. these are people that were supposed to be deported, and they were given full citizenship . they need a mistake. -- they made a mistake. this is totally unacceptable. altogether, there are nearly one million individuals in the united states with deportation orders who have not yet been removed. in the 20th century, the united

states defeated fascism, not nazism,-- anti-communism. now we must defeat radical islamic terrorism. yet the president of the united --tes -- for my opponents and both will not even say the amrds "radical islam terror." hillary talks tougher about my supporters and she does islamic terrorists, right? she called patriotic americans who support our campaign, many of the cops and soldiers, deplorable and irredeemable, and she means it.

millions and millions of people -- has she ever talked that way about radical islam? no. or about those who murder women ? has hillaryseas clinton ever called people who called these practices irredeemable were deplorable thestion mark n -- deplorable? let's ask hillary clinton how many people support the oppression of nonbelievers would you call the poor or irredeemable, or are those were words only reserved for hard-working americans who truly love our country and want to make a statement? words he hillary

clinton uses, what could be forgiven in getting the impression that she thinks these hard-working americans are somehow a greater threat to our extremists. islamic this summer there has been an isis attack launched outside the war zones of the middle east every 84 hours. in america, we have seen one brutal attack after another. likeyou ever seen anything what is going on in our country? can we do not do anything. urging were murdered and 30 were onnded in the assault ft. hood. the boston marathon bombing made 268 people, and left five people dead, including two police officer. in chattanooga, five unarmed

marines were shot and killed at a military recruiting center. last december 14th innocent americans were gunned down in a party -- an office party -- in 22 bernardino, and another were horribly injured. in june, 39 americans were nightclubt the pulse in orlando, and another 53 were injured terribly. mass shootingst in our history, and the worst lgbtq community in our history. in europe, we have seen the same carnage and bloodshed incident closest allies. in january 2015, a newspaper was attacked for publishing cartoons of the prophet mohammed. 12 were killed, including two

police officers and 11 were wood. two days later, four were murdered in a jewish rally. november 2015, terrorists went on shooting and went on a rampage, and this you heard and you will never hear the end of it -- one of the worst things that anybody has ever seen that they went on a rampage, they slaughtered 130 people and wounded 360 people, so greatly innded that many are still the hospitals and they will never be the same. in march of this year, terrorists detonated a bomb in the brussels airport, killing 32 and injuring 340 people. this july the south of france, and islamist terrorist turned his chart into an instrument of mass murder, killing 85 men, women, and children, and wounding 308 people. among the dead were two

americans, a texas father and his 11-year-old son. shortly after that, in germany, a refugee armed with an ax wounded five people in a gruesome train attack. this summer and isis killer invaded a christian church in normandy and forced and 85-year-old priest to his knees and slit his throat in front of his congregation. christians driven from their homes and hunted for extermination. isis routing what it calls the nation of the cross in a campaign of genocide -- horrible genocide. we cannot let this evil continue. cannot do it. cannot do it.

let the hateful ideology of radical islam, it suppression of women, gays, children, and nonbelievers be allowed to spread within our country. just cannot do it. we will defeat radical islamic terrorism, just as we have defeated every threat we have faced in every age before. but we will not defeat it with closed eyes or silent voices. enemy who cannot name our is not fit to lead this country.

usa!a! usa! mr. trump: do we love our country? do we love our -- >> [indiscernible] mr. trump: thank you. earth.t people on courageous. -- greatest. can we had a lot of great people. we have a lot of great people on earth, but we have to fight the bad ones. you have to do together. anyone who cannot condemn the hatred of the oppression, and violent of radical islam lacks the moral clarity to serve as our president. remember, doing it for

many, many years, and now she is saying what she is going to do. she very much caused the problem, when you think about it. her weakness, her used theiveness cay problem, and now she wants to be president. i do not think so. the commander in chief of this nation must speak with moral clarity and conviction. our system of government is the best in the world, and as your president, i will defend our values and speak out against all valuese who assault our in any way, shape, or form. we will be united -- thank you. we will be united and unified as americans across all backgrounds and all walks of life. today we had caught this evil

five completed the bombs. thank you, law enforcement. you, police. thank -- now we willt give him an amazing hospitalization. by somebe taken care of of the best doctors in the world. he will be given a fully modern and updated hospital room. and he will probably even have room service, knowing the way our country is. and on top of all of that, he will be represented by an outstanding lawyer. his case will go through the various court system for years, and in the end, people will forget and his punishment will not be what it once would have been.

what a sad situation. we must have speedy, but fair trials, and we must deliver a just and very harsh punishment to these people. we must also use whatever lawful methods are available to obtain information from the apprehended suspect, to get information before it is no longer timely. and congress should pass measures to ensure that foreign enemy combatants are treated as such. these are enemies. these are combatants. and we have to be strong. hillary clinton is a week and in

effect -- weak and ineffective person, and i will tell you, if you choose donald trump, these problems are going to go away far, far greater than anybody would think. believe the. -- me. she is a weak and ineffective person. just for member that. hillary clinton -- and they are looking -- they want her so badly. they want her so badly. [yelling]

mr. trump: they want her so badly to be your president, you have no idea. it will be a field day. policies inlinton's iraq, libya, syria, other places, are largely responsible for the rise of isis in the first place. her attacks on me are all meant to deflect from her record of unleashing this monster of evil --a and all over the world evil on us and all over the world -- this was something she told today, that it is my strong opposition to these people that is a recruiting tool and it demonstrates a level of ignorance about the terror motivations -- now, let me just tell you -- she is not the right person to solve

a problem that largely her and obama gave us, that obama gave us. being aalifies her from credible presidential candidate, in my opinion. what do i know? in my opinion, does everybody agree with me or not? that is all we need, is four more years of obama, except worse. and i will say this, you see that in the polls, uses that over, you see it outside him -- you see that all over, you see it outside, she has very, very, very low levels of enthusiasm.

i think a lot of people will not bother to go to the polls and vote for her, but i know our people, and this is also in the polls, the highest level of enthusiasm that they have seen. we are going to vote. obama-clinton have been silent about islamic terrorism for many years. lessened since recruiting, but it has increased. weakness invite aggression. we are weak. aggression, and

silence in the face of a brutal enemy -- and they have become brutal, because we have allowed them to become brutal -- it allows it to spread, and that is what is happening all over the world. now, has anyone ever heard -- what ione ever heard read every once in a while? it -- should i? because to me this was written wilson in the- al 1990's, and i heard it, and, boy, that is exactly what is going on. the snake, because people are coming across our border, brought into our country, we are going to make potentially the trojan horse look like something that is very unimportant by

comparison. and we do not want to be the one that says 200 years from now they are reading about allowing something else and our country with a different name than the trojan horse, but had the same impact. so this is called "the snake," and this has to do with people coming into our country, and i think you will enjoy it. let's see, and more important than a toro company think it will make a point. morning,ay to work one down the path along the lake, a tenderhearted woman saw a poor, and frozen snake. his pretty colored skin had all been frosted with the do. she cried, i will take you in, like we are doing, and i will take care of you. take me in, tender woman, for heaven sake, take me in, oh, tender woman, sighed the broken state. she wrapped him up in a

curvature of silk and laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk. now she hurried home from work that night. as soon as she arrived, she found that pretty snake she had taken in had been revived. tender woman, take me in for heaven sake, take me sighed,tender, the snake. now she clutched it to her present. brought you in, you certainly my have died. then she kissed and held him tight. instead of saying thank you, that's snake gave her -- that snake gave her a vicious

bite. take me income of tender woman, for heaven sake. of tender woman, side to the vicious snake. i think you from a -- sighed the snake. i think you come and you bit me. you know you're right is poisonous, and now i am going to die. woman, said silly the reptile with a grin. snake dam well i was a snake -- ll i was a damn well i was a snake before you took me in. in."

it is amazing. going to happen unless we get very, very, very smart. don't worry about it, we are going to build a wall. don't worry. don't worry about its. bout it. we are going to build the wall and mexico is going to pay for it and we are going to make great deals. don't worry about it. is torturing, murdering, executing, and exterminating people in a campaign of genocide, and what is hillary clinton's suggestion? that we should censor our vocabulary and never say these certain words -- refusing to say islam" hasradical not saved a single life and never word. our president never says the

words, and that what is happening. they never say the words. over somethingg that the world has not seen the level of evil, unbelievable. when we went to high school and we went to college, we studied. meet evil times. that is when they chopped off heads. but we are in medieval times. that is where we are. they chop off heads. they drowned people in steel cages. they bury people in the sand. we have never seen anything like that. i was against going into the war in iraq, but we got out the wrong way. president obama did a terrible thing, the way he got us out of the war. and, by the way, insulin was telling me a great expert this weekend, erect has essentially has essentially been

taken over by iran. all of those lines, all of that money, trillions and trillions of dollars, and we got? that we got out the wrong way and isis formed. great job, president obama. great job. great job. just like we need our enemy in the cold war, so too must we .ame our enemy today fitton's comments might not the far left think tanks, but they had no place for someone seeking a job as commander in chief. they are just naive, but reckless, but beneath the high standards of the office that she is seeking. the white house says it is just a war of narratives. imagine telling that to the thousands of people murdered by

this sadistic evil enemy. this is the so-called leadership that has turned isis lose on the world and flung our borders wide open, wide-open. it is time for tough borders. it is time for common sense. it is time to do things right. we have to put america first. we have to put america first. obama and clinton have toppled regimes, displaced millions of people that opened the door for isis to enter our country. smarts a not cool, policy. this will go down, when people look at this in the years ahead, as among the worst

foreign-policy decisions ever time.y any country at any we have opened the world to isis, and now we have to close those doors. decisionsinton's overseas have left us with the threat we face today, and her immigration policies will invite this threat on to our shores, and it is already happening. we must stop the massive inflow of refugees, which hillary clinton is trying to dramatically increase, for more than we are taking in now. she wants to dramatically increase this. you would almost say, is this possible? you almost say, can this be happening, especially in light of what is going on around the world?

we should temporarily suspended immigration from regions where safe and adequate screening cannot occur. my policy will benefit the millions of wonderful immigrants living here and the wonderful immigrants coming in to our country integer, because all these at people want to live in a good, decent, loving country. let me emphasize this point. the pro-immigrant position is the position that they use tough screening and type controls, and we want people to come enter our country, but they have to come in legally through a process and we need extreme screening. immigrants benefits when we keep out those who do not truly

wish to join our society. immigrants that if it economically in terms of less job competition, and a benefit in terms of safety when we control future admissions into our nation. we want to take care and protect all of our people, including our great law-abiding, american-loving immigrants. no one has the right to immigrate to this country. it is the job of a responsible government to admit only those who expect to succeed and flourish here and really be proud of what they have done and where they came from, and they have to love our country. they have to love us.

usa! usa! mr. trump: what amazing people. you know, florida, i think we are going to win by a lot. win by a lot. i can say this -- when hillary comes in, she has very small crowds, that i can tell you. hope the press is covering the size of this arena and the crowd here in the thousands that are outside. which they are not. which they are not. polling shows that many areas of the country who had -- a majoritys

of afghanistan and iraq, the people in afghanistan and iraq -- say honor killings of women are often justified. we have admitted around 100,000 from these countries over the last short time, and today they think this guy came through afghanistan. what kind of screening procedures were performed? subjects, difficult but they must be discussed by all responsible leaders. we have an obligation to discuss them and come up with the right solution. this is the kind of thing we need to have an honest conversation about, when devising screening methods. they have to be good screening methods. they had to be methods that work. unless we have those methods, sorry, folks, you cannot come

into the country. sorry. bernardinot the san horrible shooting and the female shooter who came on a fiance visa from saudi arabia. defeating this threat will require the best intelligence-gathering in the world. by the way, the detainees gitmo,ng tfrom are returning to the battlefield. are any in this room surprised that many of those detainees are returning to the battlefield -- some immediately? we also need the best protection of classified information. that is the worst situation. hillary's private e-mail scandal, which put our classified information in the reach of our enemies,

disqualifies her from the presidency, totally. then she covered up her criminal acts by mass deleting her e-mails. how about she gets a subpoena from the united states congress, and after she gets the subpoena, she deletes 33,000 e-mails-plus and everything's just fine. what is going on? only did she-- not deletes them, but she bleached them, some thing that most people have never even heard about, and she destroyed her phones. many, the old-fashioned way, with a hammer. did anyone hear of this before question mark this is beneath the dignity of a novel -- of the oval office. the next president must stand up for america and promote american

values. do you all remember president obama's apology to her, he apologized for the united states? we are sorry, we are so sorry. we are so sorry. his words were followed by more naive actions. the failure to establish a new status of forces agreement in iraq and the election-driven timetable for withdrawal a gainser, surrendered our in that country and led directly to the rise of isis. i opposed going into iraq, unlike hillary clinton, and i opposed the reckless way obama and clinton left iraqi. the failures in iraq were compounded by hillary clinton's disaster in libya. president obama has since said he regrets to be his worst

mistake, and you would not know from watching him, but i believe if you could go back years and he had the decision whether or not to make her secretary of --te, he could never an admit this, and i never exten -- expect him to, but he would choose never to choose her for secretary of state, because she was a disaster. she is the one who pushed for the war, with one episode of bad judgment after another, and bernie sanders during the debate said on numerous occasions that hillary clinton suffers from bad judgment. she does. bad judgment was a all over the world, ands

yes, isis has been launched and launched fully. as she threw the middle east into violent tumult, things turned out very well for her. made hundred $65,000 in gross income while she was secretary of state. [audience booing] mr. trump: enough is enough. for my new and great american future. cheering] we are going to change our immigration system to reflect american values. remember, american values. we are going to change the reckless policy of regime change overseas and instead concentrate

on working in partnership with our allies on the military campaign to destroy isis. we have no choice. this will require military warfare, but also financial warfare, cyber warfare, and even ideological warfare. to beat them at their own game. they are playing the game much better than we are. youth used is got -- and is going for their version, not our version. our goal is not to build democracies. our goal is to defeat. we want to defeat our enemies. then we want to get back to rebuilding our country. our country is a mess. our infrastructure is a disaster. we all, right now, almost $20 trillion. our country is in trouble. enough endless war. it is time to have a real plan for victory. but to win this struggle, we need to be strong home. my economic plan can be summed

up in three very simple words -- jobs, jobs, jobs. applause]and iofessor burton: --mr. trump: am going to massively lower your taxes. that is businesses, that is middle income, that is everybody. i am going to get rid of the asked amounts of unnecessary regulations on your businesses and in your lives. it's horrible. i am going to repeal and replace obamacare. it's a disaster. i am going to unleash american energy -- unleash american energy. and wait until you see what happens. we will start paying down our

debt. so many things will happen. and even your electric bill will be a lot less, i help. i know. properly, i'm going to appoint justices to the supreme court who will follow the constitution. i'm going to rebuild our military and take care of our veterans. i am going to renegotiate our disaster is trade deals, and they are indeed a disaster. i am going to put american and fix our rigged system. it's a rigged system, folks. rebuild our roads, our bridges, how tunnels, highways, airports, schools, and hospitals.

accomplish if we started working together as one people under one flag.aluting one american usa!" --aning "usa! usa!"]hanting "usa! mr. trump: it is time to break with the failures of the past and embrace a new, prosperous, and inclusive american future. a future of success,

with authorities in new york. we know they are doing everything they possibly can to keep us safe in this dangerous situation. i have also spoken to the governor of minnesota. like all americans, my thoughts are with those who were wounded, their families, and our great first responders. this threat is real, but so is our resolve. we will defeat the evil, twisted ideology of the terrorist's. i am the only candidate in this race who has been part of the hard decisions to take the the battlefield and i have laid out a comprehensive plan to meet the evolving nature of this threat and take the fight to isis everywhere they threaten us, including online. i'm grateful to have support and advice from a wide range of bipartisan national security leaders who have worked with

both democratic and republican presidents. this month,earlier one of the points they tohasized was the need support the state and local law enforcement, making sure that they have the resources and the training, and intelligence they need to effectively prevent and respond to terror attacks. and this weekend's events underscore how important that is. we should also launch an intelligence surge to help identify and thwart attacks before they can be carried out. we need to work more closely with silicon valley and other partners to counter terrorist propaganda and recruitment efforts online. and it is crucial that we continue to build trust between law enforcement and muslim american communities. in the middle east, we have to smash isis' strongholds with an accelerated coalition air

campaign, more support for arab and kurdish forces on the ground, and intense diplomatic efforts in syria, iraq, and across the region. working closely with allies and partners must be the top priority for our next commander in chief. later today, i will discuss the threat of terrorism with the president cc -- president sisi of egypt and other world leaders. most of all, i want to say this to my fellow americans -- let us be vigilant but not afraid. we have faced threats before. if you see something or you hear something, report it immediately to local law enforcement authorities. i know we will meet this new danger with the same courage and vigilance. we choose resolve, not fear. we will not turn on each other or undermine our values. we will stand together because we are stronger together in the face of this threat and every other challenge. i would be glad to take some questions.

>> the person of interest in this case is an afghan immigrant, now u.s. citizen. what do you say to voters who may see this as a reason to continue supporting trump's approach to terror and immigration? mrs. clinton: it is true that a suspect of interest has been identified, and we need to do everything we can to support law enforcement as they track him down to determine what role, if any, he played in these events. but let us remember, there are millions and millions of naturalized citizens in america from all over the world. there are millions of law-abiding, peaceful muslim americans. this is the kind of challenge that law enforcement can be and is prepared to address, namely going after anyone who would threaten the united states. so i am absolutely in favor of

and have long been an advocate for tough vetting, making sure we do not let people into this country, not just people who come here to settle, but we need a better visa system. let's remember what happened on 9/11. these were not refugees who got onto airplanes and attacked our city and our country. so let's not get diverted and distracted by the kind of campaign rhetoric coming from the other side. this is a serious challenge. we are well-equipped to meet it, and we can do so in keeping with smart law enforcement, good intelligence, and in concert with our values. >> secretary clinton, the white house is labeled these lone wolf attacks a top concern, and given this weekend's events, what more specifically should be done, and what would you do beyond what president obama has done?

is the current plan enough? mrs. clinton: monica, i think that the lone wolf problem is one that we have to invest more time and more resources into combating. when i met with the distinguished group of national security experts -- as i said, both democratic and republican administration experiences -- they made a very strong point that the recruitment and radicalization that goes on online has to be much more vigorously intercepted and prevented. i have been saying this for quite some time, and i believe it is an important part of our strategy. the other point they made is that the recruiters for isis and these other terrorist groups look for people who, online, demonstrate the mental profile, the level of paranoia, the level

of delusion, the level of disappointment that is exploited by quite able terrorist recruiters. so we have got to do a much more intensive effort, and that is why i mentioned silicon valley in my remarks, not only to take down terrorist propaganda but to do everything we can to intercept and prevent radicalization and recruitment. and i think we are at the beginning of that, but there is much more we need to do, and the government cannot do this without the close participation of tech companies and experts online who can you us the tools -- who can give us the tools and lead us to those who are attempting to promote attacks like we have seen. >> hi. mrs. clinton: hey, jennifer. jennifer: are you concerned that

this weekend's attacks are potential incidents in the coming weeks might be an attempt by isis synthesizers or really other group -- the russians -- to influence the presidential race in some way and presumably try to drive votes to donald trump, who is, as you have said before, is widely seen as perhaps being somebody who they would be more willing to or see as an easier person to be against? mrs. clinton: jennifer, i do not want to speculate, but he was -- here is what we know. and i think it is important for voters to hear this and weigh it in making the choice in november. we know that a lot of the rhetoric we have heard from donald trump has been seized on by terrorists, in particular, isis, because they are looking to make this into a war against islam, rather than a war against jihadists, violent terrorists, people who number in the maybe tens of thousands, not the tens of millions. they want to use that to recruit more fighters to their cause, by turning it into a religious conflict.

that is why i have been very clear, we're going after the bad guys, and we're going to get them. but we are not going to go after an entire religion and give isis exactly what it is wanting in order for them to enhance their position. secondly, we know that donald trump's comments have been used online for recruitment of terrorism. we have heard that from former cia director michael hayden, who made it very clear point when he said that donald trump is being used as a recruiting sergeant for the terrorists. we also know from the former head of our counterterrorism center, matt olson, that the kinds of rhetoric and language that mr. trump has used is giving aid and comfort to our adversaries. now look, as i said in my

remarks, i am the only candidate in this race who has been part of the hard decisions to take terrorists off the battlefield. what does that mean? i was part of the national security team that worked with president obama and developed strategies to fight the terrorists, and sometimes that involved direct kinetic action, sometimes that involved working with allies and partners, and sometimes that involved capture. i won't get into classified information, but i have sat at that table in the situation room. i have analyzed the threats. i have contributed to actions that have neutralized our enemies. i know how to do this, and i understand how we don't want this to get even bigger than it already is. so we're going to stay focused on what will work and how we deploy a strategy that will protect america, work with our allies and partners to take isis down, and have a strong counterterrorism effort online

in order to try to defeat the ideology that stands behind these terrorist attacks. >> secretary clinton, as you know, donald trump has had a lot to say about your record on this issue. over the weekend -- here is one example. "under the leadership of obama and clinton, americans have experienced more attacks at home and then victories abroad. time to change the playbook." what is your reaction to that characterization? mrs. clinton: well, like so much else he says, it is not grounded in facts. it is meant to make some head of demagogic point. the facts are pretty clear that, you know -- we still have challenges. that is what i have been talking about throughout this campaign. i am prepared to, ready to

actually take on this challenge is, not engage in a lot of, you know, irresponsible, reckless rhetoric, but to do the hard work, as i have done before, to put into place the strategies for local and state law enforcement, for an intelligence surge, for the kind of preventive actions we need to take here at home, and to intensify our efforts to defeat isis. you don't hear a plan from him. he keeps saying, yeah, it is a secret plan. well, the secret is there is no plan. let's focus on what we can do, and what i have laid out is a path forward to keep us safer, protect our country, and go after the terrorists to finally destroy them. thank you. thank you, guys. >> members of congress also responding to the attacks over

frankekend, republican lobiondo of new jersey -- reporter adam credo of "the free beacon" says -- and house speaker paul ryan sends the message -- here is some of what the wisconsin republican said in new york today. speaker ryan: i don't have to tell you, the whole country is thinking about new york these days. we realize yet again that terrorists can strike at any moment in any train station. nothing can be taken for granted. remind moresober

than what has happened in your city over the last few days. i just want you all to know we are thinking and we are praying for you and god bless these men in women who are our first responders. please know new jersey, new york , we are thinking and praying for you. [applause] >> and president obama also speaking about the explosions in new york and new jersey. he is in new york for the general assembly meeting. times" says -- obama pledges to get to the bottom of bombings in new york region. "obama calls islam and state a failed cause." and --m "the washington post" obama urges calm in the face of attacks in new york and new

jersey. here is the president. president obama: did morning, everybody. i want to say a few words about the explosions that occurred in new york and new jersey and the other devices that have been found in new jersey. i open monitoring the situation closely and have been receiving my team andates for have just been briefed again by comey and have spoken to governor christie and merit of audio. a -- and mayor deblasio. a pipe bomb went off in new

jersey where it could have seriously injured spectators at a raise and a bomb in chelsea, new york injured more than two dozen people. we are extremely fortunate that nobody was killed in our prayers go out to all those injured and we want to wish them a speedy recovery. i especially want to commend all of the first responders in new york and new jersey for their extraordinary professionalism and their quick response, which surely prevented even more people from being hurt and ensure that more people got assistance quickly. movingestigation is rapidly, and is is my practice, the going to leave it to fbi and law-enforcement to provide detail. i think everyone is aware at this point there is a person of interest who is the focus of the investigation, and the fbi can give you further details on how

that is proceeding. i told governors cuomo and christie and mayor deblasio their teams will have all federal support as they move ahead with their investigations in tracking down every lead and working to keep the people of this city and this region safe. law-enforcement is asking for the help of the community, and this region,dy in i want to repeat what we have said before. if you see something suspicious, then you need to say something. contact local law enforcement. in the meantime, i would ask that the press try to refrain from getting out ahead of the investigation. i am extraordinarily happy with the quiet operation that has been taking place between the fbi and state and local law enforcement officials. they are moving smartly on this investigation. it does not help if false

reports or incomplete information is out there. as much as possible, stick to what our investigators say, because they actually know what they're talking about. meanwhile, i know the united nations meeting already creates an additional workload for new .ork but we have a particularly high level of federal resources here to help as needed. we want to make sure that everybody is working together seamlessly to get to the bottom of what happened, to find those responsible and make sure that justice is done. focusede, we are also on the stabbing attack in new york and minnesota. we see no connection between that incident and new jersey. our attention there is on the people who were injured.

one lostateful that no their life. thanks to the actions of a brave off duty police officer, we avoided more people being hurt. i also had a chance to speak with governor dayton this morning. i assured him that we would invite all of the assistance he needed. the fbi is investigating the attack in minnesota as a potential act of terrorism. we will make sure the investigation goes forward aggressively. and finally, i want to take this opportunity to reassure the this region, city, and americans across our country that our counterterrorism and law enforcement officials at every level are working together preventhe clock to attacks and keep us safe. they are the best of the best. over the years, they have saveded many plots and

many lives and we are grateful for their service today and every single day. to lead theinue global coalition to destroy isis, which is instigating a lot of people over the internet to carry out attacks. we are going to continue to go after them. we are going to take out their leaders. we're going to take out there picture.-- their later, i will be meeting with prime minister abadi of iraq to sustain momentum. as we take over more of their territory, it exposes isil as the failed cause it is and helps to undermine their ideology, which over time will make it harder for them to recruit and inspire people to violence. liste will recruit and a tech communities and religious leaders to push back against

extremist content and all messages of hate. moments like this, i think it is important to remember what terrorists and violent extremists are trying to do. they are trying to hurt innocent people, but they also want to inspire fear in all of us and disrupt the way we live, to undermine our values. even as we have to be vigilant and aggressive, both in preventing senseless acts of violence, but also making sure we find those who carry out such acts and bring them to justice, we all have a role to play as citizens and making sure we do not succumb to that fear. there is no better example of that than the people of new york and new jersey. i was speaking to governor cuomo and governor christie. one point they all made was -- they do not here,

get scared. they are tough, they are .esilient that kind of toughness and recognition that neither organizationsr like isil can undermine our way of life, that is the kind of strength that makes me so proud to be an american and that is the kind of strength that will be absolutely critical, not just in the days to come, but in the years to come, by showing those who want to do us harm that they will never beat us, by showing the entire world that we do not and never will give in to fear. that will be the most important ingredient in defeating those who would carry out terrorist acts against us.

you will be receiving, i am sure, ongoing readings from the fbi and local law enforcement in terms of the -- briefings from the fbi and local law enforcement in terms of the details of the investigation. >> also today, the fbi and the mayor of elizabeth, new jersey held a press conference after the man believed to be linked to the explosions was taken into custody. khan rahamiahmad was apprehended. >> if you have any questions, throw it out there. yes, sir. >> [indiscernible]

>> all of us are mayors and we spend every day trying to make lives better for the citizens of our community. when someone who lives among you tries to take away the sanctity reallyn life, it becomes difficult, not only on behalf of the government, but all of the citizens of our community. we have to work harder and making sure people in our city understand we are going to move forward -- the business communities are open and i hope things on aat does monday in september will continue to do what they would do any monday in september. >> [indiscernible]

>> the city of elizabeth has gone through a difficult time over the last few hours, but it is because of the responsibility fbi, theforcement, the state police, the sheriff's office where we quickly apprehended this man in linden and after the two senators and the congressman and i and the county manager were briefed by the fbi, the investigation continues. mr. gallagher gave us a briefing that talks about how they are moving forward, but also it is really early in the investigation to see if there is anyone else involved. >> [indiscernible] the gentleman taken into custody have not been charged with anything. there's still an investigation going on. whether they will be charged or not, we were informed, that is the responsibility of the nypd.

if they are charged, we will be informed. the investigation is ongoing and whether there are suspects that remain to be discovered remains part of the investigation. >> [indiscernible] >> pardon? >> [indiscernible] time, no.his the special agent is here -- special agent gallagher, do you want to answer any questions, or would you rather me keep doing this question mark, on over here. special agent tim gallagher, in charge of the new york field office here. special agent? as you know,er: there was an explosion at the road race in new jersey. since then the investigation at the local level, the federal level, the state level has worked tirelessly around the clock to develop leads in this case. we found information which led

us to focus on an individual -- mr. ahmad khan rahami. he was our focal point, based upon evidence developed by the theyork jttf as well as jttf in the state of new jersey. there was a confrontation prosecutoray, which park will get into. i stress that this is very early in a very complicated thestigation of the fbi and union county prosecutor's office and all of our partners continue to tie any associations to this individual to bring them over to justice. i know turn this over to prosecutor park. park: good afternoon. i would like to get some information on this preliminary

investigation. at around 10:30 a.m., linden police officers confronted mr. linden on the east elizabeth street. they encountered him outside a there was and exchange of gunfire, and he was taken into custody. two of the officers in exchange with him ultimately are not critical in terms of injuries. they did exchange gunfire. one officer was struck. had some glass that struck his four, but not into his skull, so we are really grateful the linden police rahamis, who confronted are not in critical condition at all.

my understanding is the suspect is currently undergoing surgery, but i do not have any further details on his condition. >> [indiscernible] ms. park: yes, he was shot. my understanding is he was shot at least in the leg. >> [indiscernible] elaboratei can't further on the details. i just know they had information he would be in the area and they confronted him. >> [indiscernible] ms. park: on for chili is under investigation at this point. can someone address if

anywhere in the city knew about this man and was he on the radar of law enforcement? ms. park: i can't really discuss that at this time. >> the suspect was not on the radar of local law enforcement, but the fried chicken place that had codey owned, we enforcement problems and noise complaints. when they opened in 2002, they ran the business for 24 hours. neighborhood complaints regarding a congregation of sought as well as noise the city council in 2011, to pass an ordinance closing that restaurant at 10:00 in the evening. police had to enforce that ordinance, at which time, they took the city of elizabeth to court and in october 2012, the court ruled in the city from favor that we were capable of closing that facility at 10:00

in the evening as a quality-of-life issue. >> [indiscernible] are those sites selected? >> i can tell you the restaurant is closed. regarding the people who live is extremelyn safe. the businesses are open. the trains are running. the schools are open. people need to move on with their daily lives. >> [indiscernible] >> here is my view. when i say terrorism, anyone who plants a bomb where it can harm individuals, to me, that is an act of terrorism. sother that terrorism is inspired, whether it is coordinated with others, remains to be seen. but i think anyone who takes a bomb and ultimately puts it in a public place -- i think it does

not take a rocket science -- rocket scientist to understand you are looking to do harm to others. ofme, that is the essence terrorism. we think terrorists is only isis and al qaeda. we will find out whether it is by others,, inspired how it developed, whether the person was inspired by international terror groups, but in and of itself, from my perspective, it is an act of terrorism. >> [indiscernible] aking spanish]

>> [indiscernible] ish]speaking span

>> [indiscernible] >> i think everybody has to be did -- diligent. saying if you see something, say something is the new normal in theyople see something,

should call law-enforcement, like the two gentleman who saw the backpack in the garbage can. after they saw what was in it, they went to law enforcement and we were able to resolve this without any injuries to personnel and capture the suspect. youve been with many of since 10:00 last night. i'm not sure there are more questions you can answer at this time. would like to thank you for celebrating with us and law enforcement will continue the investigation is seeking a resolution to the issues that occurred over the last week for hours. thank you for being here. >> new york mayor bill de blasio also held a press conference saying now that 28-year-old custody,n rahami is in

law enforcement is not looking for other suspects. this is about half an hour. mayor deblasio: good afternoon -- >> good afternoon, everyone. with me --

vanessa gibson from the city council. tom miller, bill sweeney from the fbi. it has been an extremely busy two days, obviously, and many people have worked tirelessly, relentlessly, seamlessly in this investigation into the bombings in new york city and new jersey. today, our efforts were successful things to the brave police officers from the linden new jersey police department. they found this dangerous individual right here. however, in doing so, we had two police officers who were injured in linden, new jersey and we would wish them ace edie recovery. this is another example of what law enforcement does every day. they put themselves in harms way to protect others. on sunday.arted

response by not only nypd, but the atf, fire department, port authority, state police, they all went to the danger. my first day on the job -- it is my first day on this job. saw thatroud of what i day, the work that was done, how it was done, all of the agencies, the level of cooperation was impressive. we are joined by the assistant director in charge bill sweeney. but you do need to understand this case is very much active. our primary focus has been to identify the person responsible for these crimes. now that we have the suspect in focusy investigation can on other aspects, such as if the individual acted alone in what

his motivations may have been. i want to offer my personal thanks to everyone who worked so exceptionally in ring this individual to justice. it is a top way to start my new position, but i have always been proud to be a member of this police department. >> thank you, police commissioner. i want to say that our first responders performed with extraordinary skill and courage. i want to thank our partners all. i also share deep concern for the two officers in new jersey. we are hoping that they will have a speedy recovery. this is a situation where we have rapidly unfolding information. you're going to hear some from us now. i'm sure there will be a lot more to say in the coming days. as per usual, there will be some things we will not be able to talk about. we want to say that upfront.

i also want to note upfront, we received a call from president obama. say, chi admired the resilience of the people of new york city, how are people handle this crisis from moment one with strength and resilience. were back to business. and of course, the president issued his congratulations to our first responders for all they had done. we have more information coming in. we have so much more information than we even had a few hours ago. we have every reason to believe this was an act of terror. we will be going into some detail and there is still a long investigation ahead, but now we have every reason to believe this was an act of terror. in addition, because this is an

ongoing investigation, all new yorkers should remain vigilant. at any point, new yorkers could find a piece of information that could very much aid the nypd and our partners, we want all new yorkers to be vigilant and provide information and any point in time. 00-577-tips with any information you have. we activated a messaging system from our office, emergency management system, that allowed us to get information out to all new yorkers across the board and it had an extraordinary effect. we were able to reach all of our police officer simultaneously because of the technology they have as well. that proved to be very helpful,

in ang everyone on alert mutual way. we believe that was very helpful, but there is still information we need going forward. .e want people to be patient i want people to be vigilant. thisinally, even though suspect is apprehended, we will have a very strong and visible thispresence because of incident and obviously because of the united nations general assembly. we will continue to see throughout the week as strong presents. you will see well trained and well armed officers. you will see officers in the subway, you will see bags being checked, bomb sniffing dogs.

we wanted that high level of readiness from the nypd. continue your vigilance. and i want to thank assistant director sweeney for your cooperation and the great work of the fbi in this matter. >> good afternoon. since the last briefing we provided you yesterday, hundreds of personnel from the new york jttf's and the bureau have been working around the clock, to the open deploying sophisticated investigative techniques, and is searches. based on our evidence collection, the jttf's began to the sun ahmad khan rahami, developing his whereabouts and possible locations for surveillance.

less night, they located a vehicle. that had been observed by personnel at a location associated with rahami. based on the totality of circumstances, they executed a stop of the vehicle. no one in that car is under arrest. based on our evidence collection, supported by other searches and interviews were conducted at residences in elizabeth, new jersey and in perth amboy, new jersey. we turned to the public this morning for assistance, initially using a more recent photo of rahami. wasort time ago, rahami apprehended in linen, new jersey. two officers were injured while apprehending them. our thoughts and prayers are with them with the recovery. i do not plan to answer specific

questions about our techniques or our knowledge of devices, other than we have directly ami to devices in new york and from saturday in new jersey. contributions from an engaged public have been exceptional. thank you. >> [indiscernible] >> so, obviously, a lot has happened over the last 40 or so hours. i want to add my comments to those of the people standing behind me. condolences to the officers and the victims in new york. i believe there is going to be a charge based on the shooting of the officers in linden new jersey.

while that is pending and the defendant is being held, you can expect the attorney's office here and perhaps in new jersey will be working to put together as conference of and thorough a collection of allegations as make sense. we are not rushing against each other to bring charges. we are racing together to catch the perpetrator. that has been done. we're going to take care to make sure if we bring charges together in the manhattan district court, we do it in a way that is careful and thorough. thanks. >> [indiscernible] >> we have no knowledge, but the investigation continues. >> [indiscernible] last night -- out

[indiscernible] no, we're not ruling anything out. the investigation, the evidence collection of the different scenes takes time. we are absolutely not ruling anything out. >> [indiscernible] >> i'm not going to comment on that. >> sure. i have no indication that there is a cell operating in the city. i have no indication there is a cell operating here. >> [indiscernible] >> i believe it was help. i think that is what initiated the call to the linden pd.

you would have to confirm that with linden, new jersey. >> [indiscernible] >> no, i don't have any information on that at all yet. >> [indiscernible] >> i will not comment on the types of tools we used other than to say the tools in the city are fabulous. they are exceptional. they are necessary. >> a lot of technology involved in this. a lot of good old-fashioned police work, too. pretty quick turnaround. this happened 50 hours ago and we have our suspect in custody, so i think it's a tremendous job by all involved. i think the alert is them is very, very helpful to the police

department and fbi in this and in other instances also. it gets everybody involved. us.e are 36,000 of if we can get everyone in the city engaged, this is the way to go. >> [indiscernible] >> bill? >> i will not comment specifically on something from the pressure cooker that let us somewhere. every piece of evidence we obtained is worthwhile. >> commissioner, was there anything significant about -- [indiscernible] >> lisa, that is good to be part of the investigation, what the motivation was. we don't have that. that will be part of what we

have going forward. >> [indiscernible] >> bill? >> i don't have information information that we are actively looking for a device. there is nothing to indicate he was on our radar. we had a report of a domestic incident sometime ago. the allegations were recanted. deblasio, was governor cuomo invited? [inaudible] yes he was invited, yes we are working with him. a lot of c
