rapidly, as is my practice, i'm going to leave it to the fbi and law-enforcement to provide details. everyone is aware that there is a person of interest who is the ands of the investigation the fbi can give you for the details in terms of how that is proceeding. i told governors cuomo and christie that they and their kids will continue to have all federal support as they move ahead with their investigations andracking down every lead working to keep the people of the city and of this region safe. asking forment is the help of the community. everyone in this region, 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. early happy with the -- extraordinarily happy with the cooperation been taken place. they are moving smartly on this investigation. it.oes not help ports or incomplete -- false reports or incomplete information is out there. try to stick to what our investigators say because they know what they are talking about. meanwhile, i know that the united nations meetings here every year already create an additional workload for new york. given the u.n. meetings, we often have a high level of federal resources here to help as needed. we going to make sure everybody is working together seamlessly as one team to get to the bottom of what happened to find those responsible and make sure that

earlier today which prosecutor mark will get into. this is very early in a very complicated investigation. office and prosecutors and all her partners continue to work to try to tie any association to this individual to bring them to justice. not to persecutor park. -- now to prosecutor park. >> i just want to give some a verytion on preliminary investigation. at around 10:45 this morning, to linden police officers linden on rahami in east elizabeth street. they encountered him outside a local bar and there was an exchange of gunfire and he was taken into custody.

officers in exchange with him are not critical. struck into his bulletproof vest. the other had some glass that struck his for head but not into his goal. we are grateful that the police him are who confronted not in critical condition. my understanding is that the suspect is currently undergoing surgery. i don't have any further details on his condition. he was shot. at least in the leg. i don't have any further details. >> [indiscernible]

[indiscernible] >> that is under investigation at this point. someone address what the city knew about this man and his family and problems? was he on the radar of law enforcement? >> i cannot discuss that at this time. the suspect was not on the radar of local law enforcement. the fried chicken place they owned, we had some code enforcement problems and noise complaints.

when they opened in 2002, they ran a business for 24 hours. neighborhood complaints regarding a congregation of people as well as noise. in order to pass a ordinance closing the restaurant at 10:00 in the evening. the police had to enforce that ordinance at which time the suspect's father and two brothers took the city of elizabeth to court. in october of 2012, the courts weed in the city favor that were capable of closing the facility at 10:00 in the evening as a quality-of-life issue. >> [indiscernible] those investigation still active? >> the restaurant is closed. regarding the people who live , the businesses are open.

trains are running. schools are open. people need to continue and move on with their daily lives. >> [indiscernible] >> when i said terrorism, anyone in any placemb that can harm individuals, to meet that is an act of terrorism. whether that terrorism is self inspired, whether that terrorism is coordinated with others remains to be seen. i think that anyone who takes a bomb and puts it in a public place, it does not take a rocket scientist to understand that you are looking to do harm to others. the essence of terrorist. we think of terrorism only as al this is an act of terrorism. we will find out if the investigation continues and whether to incarnate --

developed and if he any views are tendencies inspired by international terror groups. from my perspective, it is a act of terrorism. -- an act of terrorism. >> [indiscernible] [spanish]

>> [indiscernible] open,ish] schools are the railroad is open, the life is normal.

when we stop acting like we normally do, then the terrorists win the day. >> [indiscernible] >> i think everyone has to be diligent. if you see something, say something. it is the new normal. if people see something, they should clearly call law enforcement like this two gentlemen who saw that backpack and the original plan -- garbage can. they were able to resolve this without any industries -- injuries. i have been with many of you since 10:00 last night. i'm not so sure there any more questions we can answer at this time. we thank you for coming and

[applause] now an update on the new york city bombing from mayor bill dblasio and other law enforcement officials. this is about 25 minutes.

>> good afternoon, everyone could with me today from nypd, these gentlemen. it has been an extremely busy two days. many people have worked intensely, tirelessly, or let wesley in this investigation -- relentlessly in this investigation. today, however it's were successful things to the -- our efforts were successful think to be brave police officers that captured this individual. ahmad rahami. in doing so, we had two police officers that were injured.

i wish their best and hopefully a speedy recovery. this is another example of what law enforcement does every day. they put themselves in harms way to protect others. regardless of the risk. this all started on saturday. went on to the scene on 23rd street to see the devastation from the blast. the response by not only nypd but the fbi and the fire department and ems, or to authorities, state police, they all went to the danger. job, itirst day on the is my first day on this job, not my first day on the job. i'm so proud of what i saw. the work that was done and how it was done together, old agencies, the level of cooperation was impressive. as i said, by the assistant director in charge of the new york fbi office, he looked to be some details about the investigation.

you need to understand that this case is very much active. to primary focus has been identify and apprehend the person responsible for these crimes. now that we had the suspect in custody, the investigation can focus on other aspects such as whether this individual acted alone and what his motivations may have been. before turning this over to the mayor, i will to offer my personal thanks to everyone who has worked exceptionally to bring this individual to justice. it is a tough week to start market position as police commissioner -- my new position as police commissioner. and i'm proud. i want to also say our first responders from the beginning of the situation performed with extraordinary skill and courage. nypd and all the city agencies, state partners, federal partners, i want to thank them all.

i want to share the deep concern for the officers in new jersey and i hope they will have a speedy recovery. this is a situation where we have rapidly unfolding information. i'm sure there will be a lot more to say in the coming days. as per usual, there are some things we cannot talk about. do our best to tell you what we can give you. i also want to note upfront, i received a call a few hours ago from president obama. he wanted me to tell the people of their city how much he admired the resilience of newark city. how our people handle this crisis from moment one with strength and resilience. it is so impressive that people are back to business. in addition, the president offered his congratulations to our first responders to open had done. lumbarve said, we have a information and it is coming in all the time. 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. as i have said, we have every reason to believe this was an act of terror. in addition, i want to note that because this is an ongoing investigation, all new yorkers should remain vigilant. at any given point, new yorkers may find a piece of information or hear a conversation or see something that could aid the nypd. we want all new yorkers to be vigilant and to provide that information. 1800inder, you can call 577-tips with any information you have. we activated earlier today a messaging system used by our office of emergency management that allowed us to get

information out to all new yorkers across the board. .t had an extraordinary affect we were able to reach all of our police officers simultaneously because of the technology they have now. that is something that proved to be very helpful in this instance and getting the message out broadly. we believe that was very helpful. there is still information that we need going forward. i want people to be patient because it will be an ongoing investigation. i want people to be vigilant. even though the suspect is veryhended, we will have a strong and visible nypd presence because of this incident. theobviously because of united nations general assembly. you will continue to see a strong visible nypd presence

especially from the strategic command group. you will see heavily trained officers and armed officers. you will see our officers in the subway and tags being checked. bomb sniffing dogs. that will continue throughout the week. we want the high level of readiness from the nypd. i ask all your purse to continue continue toe and share information with one person. i want to shake -- thank the commissioner for the exceptional work. thank you. >> thank you. good afternoon, so the last briefing we provided yesterday, hundreds of personnel from new york and newark, new jersey, along with the nypd detective euro had been working along the -- bureau happen working along to clock. been working along the clock.

based on her evidence collection and supported by other analysis, we begin to focus on rahami working to develop his whereabouts and possible locations for surveillance. night, conducted a traffic stop of a vehicle in brooklyn. that vehicle had been observed by personnel at a location associated with him. based on the totality of circumstances, they executed a stop of the vehicle. the passengers in the car were .uestioned and detectives no one in the cars under arrest. based on her evidence collection, supported by other analysis, searches and interviews were conducted at ,esidences in new jersey additional leads were followed. we turn to the public for assistance. initially using a more routine photo of rahami.

a short time ago, he was arrested. two police officers were injured while apprehending him. our thoughts are with them and we hope for the quick recovery. we will continue to conduct investigative activity to ensure we completely understand his social network. planhat reason, i do not to answer specific questions about our techniques or our knowledge of the devices above them that we have directly linking to devices from new york and from saturday in new jersey. the work from the first responders and one question personnel and the contributions of engaged couple cap an exceptional. thank you. population have been exceptional. thank you. >> [indiscernible] >> obviously, a lot has happened

over the last 40 or so hours. i will add my comments to those of the people sitting behind a. condolences to the officers and the victims in new york. i believe there's going to be a charge based on the shooting of the officers. while that is pending and the defendant is being held, you can thect that the u.s. out of attorney office here for put together as comprehensive and thorough allegations as make sense. we are not rushing against each other to bring charges. we have been written together to try to catch the perpetrator here. that has been done. we're going to take a lot of care and time to make sure that if we bring charges federally, that we do it carefully and thoroughly. thank you. >> [indiscernible]

>> we have no knowledge what the investigation entails. >> [indiscernible] >> we are not ruling anything out. investigations take a wild. the evidence collection take some time. we're not ruling anything out. like when to comment on that. -- i am not going to comment on that. >> [indiscernible] >> i have no indication that there is a cell operating in the area. the investigation is going -- ongoing. i have no indication there is a cell operating. >> [indiscernible]

>> i don't know that for a fact, myself and i believe that is what initiated the call. you'll have to confirm that with new jersey. >> [indiscernible] informationave any on that at all. >> [indiscernible] facial recognition, surveillance cameras? >> i will not comment on the types of tools used other than to say that the tools in the city are fabulous. they are exceptional. it was technology involved in

this. a lot of good old-fashioned police work also. , thisn the fbi and nypd is a pretty quick turnaround. this happened 50 hours ago. we have or suspect in custody. -- our suspect in custody. the alert system is very helpful to the police department and fbi. they get everybody involved. a sense of shared responsibly. us, if we can get everybody in the city engaged, this is the way to go. this is the future. >> [indiscernible] >> i will not comment specifically on something from the pressure cooker. any piece of evidence that we obtained, whether it is a fragment or something whole, it

is worthwhile. i would leave it at that. anything significant about the particular day on saturday? >> that is going to be part of the investigation. we do not have that yet. >> [indiscernible] any other bombs? i don't have information. we keep all options open. we will see what we see. >nothing to indicate he was on radar. we had a report of a domestic incident sometime ago. recanted.tions were i don't have any other information. was governor, invited here --

mo invited here? >> yes. we are working with him. we got together at the site and spoke to the folks at the community. a lot of close coronation -- coordination. you can see the results of this kind of combined effort. as the commissioner said, including the people very deeply in helping us get to the solution, it has made a huge difference. you can ask his team about that. [indiscernible] >> the question about radicalization, i do not have information yet to show the path of radicalization.

your first question about the record, i currently do not recall what i read on the record. donald trump, one fourth and officials -- law enforcement officials [indiscernible] right now, we are addressing a specific crisis and i think that is a fair question, i don't think we want to talk about partisan politics at this point. i'm very proud of the work of the nypd and the fbi and the way they have so quickly found the suspect and the cooperation going on p i have a lot of faith in law enforcement and how they do things right now. >> [indiscernible] the chances there could be another device? point, we are

extremely grateful that we are able to apprehend the suspect. as i always say, we always have to be in a state of alert. we're the number one target in the world. as far as this investigation and i'ming again with the fbi, a lot happier today than i was yesterday. i think all new yorkers should feel secure. we will continue to keep them safe and we will continue in this investigation to make sure that we know who is involved. >> let me add to that. there is no other individual we are looking for at this point in time. that is important. second, vigilance is called for. it is very important if people see anything unusual about particularly in unintended

package, that they report it immediately. the commissioner is exactly right. we are very appreciative for all the men and women who did this work to get the suspect. we want to remain vigilant. >> [indiscernible] >> the apprehension, i was last night. the fact that he survived is excellent. >> [indiscernible] who he is, where he has been living? >> i can't tell you who he is. we will have to build up that picture. we don't have enough knowledge right now. >> [indiscernible] most recently.y

i want to go back and look at address history. -- i will have to go back and look at address history. >> [indiscernible] >> not right now. >> [indiscernible] how that was helpful in this case? the first time they have been used -- [indiscernible] >> several questions there. we think it is a very valuable tool. we think it created a loss of focus on urgency. our law enforcement colleagues, including our colleagues in new jersey will be able to fill in the blanks on exactly what the positive effect was. what we know right now, it definitely contributed to the successful apprehension of the suspect. this is a tool we will use again in the future in similar situations.

there was an imminent threat. it was an appropriate situation. i think it is another example of the innovation that is going on with nypd and oem that there was a way to reach people, different than the past. no longer a wanted poster. this is a modern approach that engaged the community. we will use it. the reason it was used was the specific, potential danger. it made sense to a broad alert. do a broad alert. >> [indiscernible] >> i will let the cheap talk about that. -- chief talk about that. >> video of two persons who picked up the act, to the device out of it. we went back to see where they came from, they looked like they are too gentle and just strolling up and down 7th avenue. we have no information that

would link them to this at all. we still want to talk to them. we are considering them witnesses. back,hey picked up the they picked this up off the street and walked off with it. we will find out. >> [indiscernible] >> that it's all going to be part -- we have what we need to have. as a go forward, that is part of what we do. you going to talk to family and friends and to the connections. this is part of the investigation. right now, we're not actively seeking anyone. >> [indiscernible] >> good question. to be determined once we speak with them. it is difficult to say.

that is something was. can't say that now because i don't not noted his role -- know if it played the role. >> [indiscernible] >> with a central part, from what we have now, two separate incidents. completely to different devices. we are always rethinking central park. the other question, i cannot answer you. -- that. -- i cannot describe the vice -- the device and how work. -- how it worked. >> [indiscernible]

five individuals from last night are not in custody. >> [indiscernible] the suspect make any statements theing or after -- apprehension? >> not that i'm aware of. jersey team are out there. >> how valuable for surveillance cameras? cameras?urveillance >> that of the world we're living in. incident, most of that gets captured on video surveillance. we go through the investigation, as we continue to gather more surveillance video, it is going to help us move

forward and make sure the suspect is brought to justice and paste the maximum price. >> to more questions. >> [indiscernible] >> and understanding how to reach of terrorism charge in a criminal investigation, you have to understand the difference between a bomb going off in a crowded street as a terrifying act, whether that is an act of terrorism requires that you find out who did it, which is something we did not know at the early stages of yesterday and then why they did it. in order to meet the statutory

requirements. the basic definition of terrorism on the federal law use of fear, violence, intimidation or the threat of to achieve political or social change. from the outset of this case, our first priority was to understand who was behind it. and to identify that person and bring the person into custody. our ability to see through the rest of that optic which is why they did it, what was behind it and whether it was terrorism required us first to understand who did it. the search is conducted last the interviews been conducted today, the broadening understanding about the suspect who is in custody right now for the shooting of a police officer or police officers is going to be the part that rings the elements forward that will eventually result in the charge

and will be laid out in those charging documents. is behinde process your question of how do you get from there to terrorism. the amount of progress that was made in 24 hours between the work of the jc tf, the intel team, some extraordinary work by the detective bureau in terms of searching the number of people to do the video cameras and then expand that out in concentric circles to make the developments of elements that brought in the identification, all the steps to get us there. that will bestion part of the investigation. those pieces are still being gathered. >> [indiscernible]

>> the question is about linking the device from the park to jersey. we do that through evidence and analysis. i cannot go the on that. -- beyond that. [crosstalk] >> president obama delivers

remarks at the annual united nations general assembly meeting with other world leaders. we have live coverage tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. eastern here on c-span. on c-span3, the ceo of wells fargo takes questions about his company telling customers -- selling customers unauthorized bank accounts and credit cards. there is a 185 billion dollars settlement -- million dollars settlement. you can also watch it live at c-span.org or listen live on the c-span radio app. >> the smithsonian national museum of african american history and culture opens its doors to the public for the first time saturday predeceasing will be live on the national mall starting at 10:00 a.m. eastern the outdoor education. speakers include president obama and hounding museum director -- founding museum director.

first lady michelle obama will be in attendance, former president george dubya bush and laura bush. chief justice john roberts, congressman john lewis and smithsonian secretary. live the opening ceremony on saturday morning at 10:00 c-span, the on c-span radio app and c-span.org. it expressedk support for law enforcement officials following the attacks in new york, new jersey and minnesota. she spoke to supporters -- reporters in new york before a rally in philadelphia. good morning. i want to start by offering my full support to our state, local and federal law enforcement as they continue to respond to the attacks in new york, new jersey and minnesota and bring those responsible to justice. i've talked with mayor de

blasio. our team has been in close touch with authorities in new york. we know they're doing everything they possibly can to keep us safe in this dangerous situation. i've also spoken to the governor of minnesota. like all americans, my thoughts are with those who were wounded, their families and our brave first responders. this threat is real, but so is our resolve. americans will not cower, we will prevail. we will defend our country and we will defeat the evil, twisted ideology of the terrorists. i'm the only candidate in this race who has been part of the hard decisions to take terrorists off the battlefield. and i've 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've worked with both democratic and republican presidents. when we met together earlier this month in new york, one of the points they emphasized was the need to support state and local law enforcement, who act as our first line of defense, making sure they have the resources, the training and intelligence they need to effectively prevent and respond to terror attacks. and this weekend's events underscored 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 up 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 our allies and partners to keep us safe must be the top priority for our next commander-in-chief. later today, i'll discuss the threat from terrorism with president el-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'll stand together because we

are stronger together in the face of this threat and every other challenge. be glad to take some questions. the person of interest in this case is an afghan immigrant, now u.s. citizens. what do you say to voters who may see this as a reason to consider supporting trump's approach to terror and immigration? >> well, 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, for making sure that we don't let people into this country -- and 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 into airplanes and attacked our city and our country. so let's not get diverted and distracted by the kind of campaign rhetoric we hear 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 has labeled these lone wolf attacks a top concern, and

given these weekend events, what more specifically should be done? and what would you do specifically beyond what president obama has done? is the current plan enough? >> 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 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's 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 then is exploited by quite able terrorist recruiters. so we've got to do a much more intensive effort, and that's 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's much more we need to do, and the government cannot do this without the close participation of tech companies and experts online who can give us the tools and lead us to those who are attempting to promote attacks like we've seen. hey, jennifer. >> are you concerned that this

weekend's attacks or potential incidents in the coming weeks might be an attempt by isis or isis sympathizers or really any other group, maybe it's russian, to influence the presidential race in some way and presumably try to drive votes to donald trump, who, as you've said before, widely seen as perhaps being somebody who they would be more willing to -- or see as an easier person to be against? >> well, jennifer, i don't want to speculate, but here's what we know, and i think it's important for voters to hear this and weigh it in making their choice in november. we know that a lot of the rhetoric we've 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 but tens of millions.

they want to use that to recruit more fighters to their cause by turning it into a religious conflict. that's why i've been very clear; we're going after the bad guys and we're going to get them, but we're not going to go after an entire religion and give isis exactly what it's wanting in order for them to enhance their position. secondly, we know that donald trump's comments have been used online for recruitment of terrorists. we've heard that from former cia director michael hayden, who made it a very clear point when he said donald trump is being used as a recruiting sergeant for the terrorists. we also know from the former head of our counterterrorism center, matt olsen, 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'm the only candidate in this race who's been part of the hard decisions to take terrorists off the battle field. what does that mean? i was part of the national security team that worked with president obama to develop strategies to fight the terrorists. sometimes that involved direct kinetic action, sometimes that involved working with allies and partners, sometimes that involved capture. i won't get into classified information, but i have sat at that table in the situation room. i've analyzed the threats. i've 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. (crosstalk) >> secretary clinton, as you know, donald trump has had a lot to say about your record on this issue over the weekend. here's one example: "under the leadership of obama and clinton, americans have experienced more attacks at home than victories abroad. time to change the playbook." what's your reaction to that characterization? >> well, it's like so much else he says. it's not grounded in facts. it's, you know, meant to make some kind of demagogic point. and the facts are pretty clear: that, you know, we still have challenges. that's what i have been talking about throughout this campaign.

i am prepared to, ready to actually take on those challenges. not engage in a lot of, you know, irresponsible, reckless rhetoric, but to do the hard work, as i've done before, to put into place the strategies for local and state law enforcement, for an intelligence surge, for the kind of preventive actions that 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 he has a secret plan. well, the secret is he has no plan. so let's focus on what we really can do. and what i've laid out is a path forward that will keep us safer, protect our country and go after the terrorists to finally destroy them. (crosstalk) thank you. thank you, guys. >> following the news

conference, hillary clinton campaigned in philadelphia. the campus. mrs. clinton: thank you. thank you. i am so delighted to be here with all of you. i've saw how much fun president obama had last week. i wanted to be here in philadelphia. before i begin with my remarks, i do want to say how proud i am of our brave first responders working to keep us safe after the attacks of the last weekend in new york, new jersey, and minnesota. [applause] there are now reports of a suspect in custody, but we must remain vigilant. this is a fast-moving situation and a sobering reminder that we

need steady leadership in a dangerous world. i am here to talk about a number of the issues that are part of this election that really much more than that. they are part of our future, the kind of country we want to have, the kind of people we wanted to be, and particularly, what kind of opportunities we should be providing to the young people of america. i have a proud owl on my staff. [cheers and applause] a philadelphia native who became an activist working to end the epidemic of gun violence right here in philadelphia. [applause] she loves temple, and we love her. i also want to thank lauren for that introduction. [applause]

jamyra and lauren are two examples of why i have so much faith in our future. your generation is the most inclusive, progressive, and entrepreneurial than we have ever seen. as you heard, when lauren was in college, she saw challenges facing students of color, but there was no naacp chapter to support them and promote ever city and inclusion on campus, so she started one. and lauren remains committed and engaged, working with an organization called generation progress, because she understands that active citizenship is a lifelong job, and the call of service never fades. now i know that with so much negativity out there, it is really easy to get cynical, especially about our politics.

i remember wrestling with that challenge when i was a student during the vietnam war. it can be tempting to think that no one will tell you the truth and nothing is ever going to change. but you are here today because you refused to accept cynicism. you know that the next 50 days will shape the next 50 years. and you see how much needs fixing in our country, from the soaring cost of college to the surge of systemic racism to the threats from climate change. but you also know the only way we can meet those challenges is if we meet them together. you are here because you believe we can do just that. you want something to vote for, not just against. optimism, not resentment. answers, not anger. ideas, not insults.

bridges, not walls. [applause] you know, you are also here because you know this election is not a reality tv show. it should not be about birth certificates or name-calling or stunts to get onto cable news. [cheers and applause] this election comes down to a choice between two very different visions for america. i believe it is wrong to tear each other down. we should be lifting each other up. it is wrong to let income inequality get even worse. we have to make the economy work for everyone, not just those at the top. and it is wrong to put a loose cannon in charge at the start of another war.

we should work with our allies to keep us safe. it comes down to this -- are we going to pit americans against each other and deepened the divide in this country or are we going to be, as i know we can, stronger together? [cheers and applause] i know what i believe, and i am going to close my campaign the same way i started my career, fighting for kids and young people and families. [applause] that has been the cause of my life, and it will be the passion of my presidency, and i hope you will join me. we can't get distracted with the media or my opponent turns this election into a circus. my husband has a saying about that.

he calls it "majoring in the minors," getting so wrapped up in stuff that does not matter, you forget what is really important to your future and the future of this country. take the challenges facing young americans today. first of all, if you are willing to work hard, you should be able to find a good job that pays well and let's you do what you love and make your mark in the world. [cheers and applause] but that has been out of reach for too many young people trying to find your footing in the wake of the worst economic crisis since the great depression era . that is why tim kaine and i have a plan to work with both parties and make a historic investment in good new jobs. we can create millions of jobs and make life a lot better, by doing things like connecting

every household to broadband by 2020, installing half a billion solar panels, building a cleaner, more resilient electric grid with enough renewable energy to power every home in the country. [cheers and applause] getting an education should give you a boost, not hold you back. but as you know better than most, tuition keeps going through the roof, and debt keeps piling up. i understand that temple was founded to democratize, diversify, and widen the reach of higher education. that is still a vital goal, so i worked with bernie sanders on a plan. [cheers and applause] we came up with a plan that

makes public college tuition free for working families and debt free for everyone. [cheers and applause] if you already have debt, we will help you refinance it and pay it back as a percentage of your income so you are never on hook for-- look -- more than you can afford. you can actually see how much you and your family can save under our plan by looking at the college calculator at hillaryclinton. com . and here is something we do not talk about enough -- a four-year

degree should not be the only path for a good job in america. people should be able to learn a skill, practice a trade, and make a good living because of that. so we are offering you tax credits to encourage companies to offer paid apprenticeships that let you earn while you learn and do more to dignify skills across the board. the welders, machinists, health technicians, coders, and so many other fields. [cheers] another challenge i hear about all the time is from new parents about how hard it is to balance the demands of work and family in today's economy. families look different today than they did decades ago, i think we can all agree. most need two incomes just to get by. and many people now changed jobs frequently and have wildly

unpredictable schedules or they have to cobble together part-time work, all without the basic supports available to parents in nearly every other advanced country. that is why tim kaine and i have a plan to help working families with quality affordable childcare, preschool, and paid family leave. [cheers and applause] the more we can strengthen families, the stronger we will be as a nation. everywhere i go, young people also share their concerns about the divisiveness and discrimination we see in america today. you are not and you should not be satisfied with the progress we have made. you should keep wanting to right wrongs and fight for justice and dignity for all. we see, as lauren said, too many young black men and women made to feel like their lives are

disposable, too many immigrants living in fear of deportation, too many young lgbt americans bullied, too many young women and men sexually assaulted on campus or in the military or at home, and more than previous generations, you understand that all these challenges are intersecting, and we must take them on together. [applause] but you also see a republican nominee for president who incites hatred and violence like we have never seen before in any campaign. hate speech being normalized. the dog whistles are out in the

open. yet, despite this, i remain convinced america's best days are ahead of us. in large part, that is because of the inspiring young people i meet everyday. 's i am inspired by astrid. i met her in las vegas last summer. she was brought to this country from mexico at the age of four with nothing but a doll, across, and the dress she was wearing. now she is in her 20's and advocating for the rights of undocumented americans and comprehensive immigration reform. we should all join her in this. i am inspired by mikey, who i met in new york. mikey spent six months imprisoned for a low-level drug offense. after he got out, mikey discovered just how hard it is for people who have done their time to find good jobs and opportunities, but he persisted here and he managed to start his own ice cream shop in new york, and i can recommend -- it is delicious.

[laughter] we have to do more to help others get that second chance, including by banning the box and reforming our criminal justice system. [applause] i am inspired by erica, one of the bravest young women i have ever met. her mother dawn was the principal of sandy hook school who died trying to protect her students. erica was devastated, but then she made it her mission to advocate for common sense gun safety reform. it has been painful for her. a lot of hate has come her way, and the gun lobby is so powerful. but erica won't give up.

as she said, what if everyone who faced tough odds said, "it's hard, i am going to walk away?" that is not the top of world i want to live in. that is the spirit that makes this country great. we might get knocked down, but we get right back up again. [cheers and applause] and we refuse to quit no matter what. that is the spirit we need in this election, too. now i know that with washington paralyzed with big money and partisanship, the gaps between the change we want and the progress that politics should deliver look like a chasm. i also know that, even if you are totally opposed to donald trump, you may still have some questions about me. i get that, and i want to do my best to answer those questions. when it comes to public service, the service part has always been easier for me than the public

part. i will never be the showman my opponent is, and you know what's, that is ok with me. [cheers and applause] and it is also true -- i do spend a lot of time on the details of policy, like the precise interest rate on your student loans, right down to the decimal. but that is because it is not a detail for you. it is a big deal, and it should be a big deal to your president. [applause] so here is what i ask any voter who is still undecided -- give us both a fair hearing. hold us accountable for our ideas, both of us. i can't promise you will agree with me all the time, but i can promise you this -- no one will work harder to make your life

better. i will never stop no matter how tough it gets. in fact, you can read about what tim and i want to do. we're not keeping it a secret. we have got a book called "stronger together. [cheers and applause] let me tell you a little bit about the values that drive me and my vision for the future, because you deserve that from anyone running for president. i want to share with you the stories of three women who had pivotal moments -- who at pivotal moments changed my life and set me on a chorus of social justice, activism, public service. the first woman is my mother. her name was dorothy. she was abandoned by her parents as a young girl. she ended up out on her own at 14 working as a housemaid.

when i learned about this many years later, i asked how she managed to grow up into a warm, loving person and not become bitter and broken. and here is what she said. one word -- kindness. she was saved by the kindness of others. like the teacher who saw she had nothing to eat at lunch and brought extra food to share. the lesson she passed on to me was simple but powerful. no one gets through life alone. we have to look out for each other and lift each other up. she made sure i learned the words from one of the creeds of our methodist faith, do all the good you can for all the people you can in all the ways you can as long as you ever can. that mission guides me still today. when i stumble, it helps pick me up. there is always more good to do and more people to help if we keep our eyes open, especially kids.

when i met a terrified little girl in nevada who burst into tears because she worried her parents would be deported, it hit me right in the gut. i knew how hard working her parents were. i knew the sacrifices they were making so that she could have a better life. when i met little boy in flint, michigan, who got sick from drinking water, poisoned with lead, it just made me so angry and determined to work even harder. every one of our children deserves a chance to share in the promise of america. the second woman i want to tell you about is marian wright 80 man. shoot -- marian wright adelman, first african american to pass the mississippi bar. she was an ally of dr. king and robert kennedy and the founder of the children's defense fund,

an altogether remarkable person. one day during my first semester in law school, i saw a flyer -- we used to have those, on the campus bulletin board, and she was coming to give a lecture. i made sure to be there. what i heard was captivating. she talked about creating a head start program in mississippi and using her legal education to make life better for poor children and families, something just clicked in my brain. i began to see how i could translate the commitment to helping others -- i learned from my mother and my church, into real social change. i went up to her, and i said, could i work for you this summer? she said, sure, but i can't pay you. i said, well, i am paying my way through law school, so i have to get paid. she said, well, if you can figure how to get paid, you can have a job. so i figured out how to get a grant to get paid and went to work for her.

after graduation, i could have followed my classmates to a high-powered law firm, but i went to work for marian at the children's defense fund instead. she's in the door-to-door in massachusetts on behalf of children with disabilities who were denied the chance to go to school back then. i remember meeting a young girl in a wheelchair on a small back porch of her house, and sheetal me how badly she wanted an education, that it just did not seem possible. my heart went out to her, and i wanted to help, but it became clear to me that simply caring is not enough. that would not force the public schools to build more wheelchair ramps and put more resources into special education here it i -- special education. i learned that to drive real progress, you have to change both hearts and laws. so we gathered evidence. we built a coalition. our work helped convince congress to ensure access to

education for all students with disabilities. that experience turned me into a lifelong advocate for children and families. i went to south carolina to investigate the plight of 12 and 13-year-old boys in prison alongside grown men who had committed serious felonies. in alabama, i helped expose the racism of segregated academies. in arkansas, iran a legal aid clinic that provided representation to poor families and imprisoned inmates who cannot afford it. -- could not afford it. when bill was elected president, a lot of people were surprised, and even threatened, by the idea of an activist as first lady, but i was not about to quit then either. i fought for universal health care and ended up working with republicans and democrats in congress to create the children's health insurance program, which covers 8 million kids today. [cheers and applause]

the third woman who changed my life was named sophia. the 17-year-old captain of a high school basketball team in new york city. it was the late 1990's and democrats in new york were urging me to run for the senate, and i kept telling them no. after all, no first lady had ever done anything like that . i myself cannot run for anything -- had not run for anything since student council. i had always been an advocate, not politician, but then one day i visited that school in new , york for an event with young women athletes with billy jean king. hanging above our head was a big banner that said, "dare to compete." before my speech, sophia introduced me. she was tall, and she bent over and whispered in my ear, "dare

to compete, mrs.clinton, dare to compete." once again, something just clicked. for years, i had been telling young women to step up, participate, do what you believe in -- could it be i was afraid to do something i had urged so many others to do? well, it was a difficult transition, becoming a candidate for the first time back in that new york senate race. even all these years later, i confess, i don't enjoy doing some of the things that come naturally to most politicians, like talking about myself. [laughter] but i took that leap then for the same reason i am running now, to even the odds for those with the odds stacked against them, especially children and families. i have learned that in a democracy, if you want to help the greatest number of people, you have to push for reform in from both the outside in and the inside out.

we need activist and advocates, entrepreneurs and innovators, teachers and mentors some of -- mentors, people who change lives everyday in a million quiet ways. we also need strong principled leaders who can win votes, right laws, allocate resources, do the slow, hard business of governing. of course, politics can be discouraging. this election, in particular, can be downright depressing sometimes. but it matters, it really does. it matters for our families, our communities, and our country and the world. our most cherished values are at stake. every election is important, from school board to state senate to president. but this time is different. we are facing a candidate with a long history of racial discrimination in his businesses , who retweets white

supremacists, who led the bi rther movement to delegitimize our first black president, and he is still lying about it today. he refuses to apologize to president obama, his family, and the american people. we have to stand up to this hate. we cannot let it go on. [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] and when we do that, we send a clear message -- america is better than this.

america is better than donald trump. just as important, we have a chance to make real progress together in our country. [applause] as partners, not just for winning this election, but thedriving real change over next four years. the fights ahead of us are bigger than one election, one president, one generation. it will take all of us working side-by-side to build the kind of future we want. that is why if i'm in the you -- in the white house, young people will always have a seat at any table where any decision is being made. [applause] so if you believe diversity is

america's strength, not america's burden, join us. the minimum wage should be a living wage and no one working full-time should have to raise their children in poverty, join us. [applause] [cheers] if you believe that climate change is real and that we can save our planet while creating millions of good paying clean energy jobs, join us. [applause] if you believe that every man, woman, and child in america has the right to affordable quality health care, join us. [applause] [cheers] if you believe we could finally guarantee equal pay for women, join us. applause]d

[cheers] go to iwillvote.com and register today. register your friends, register everyone you know. this is going to be close. we need everyone off the sidelines. not voting is not an option. that just plays into trumps hands, it really does. [applause] mrs. clinton: text join to 47246 right now or go to hillaryclinton.com and sign up to volunteer. i understand here at temple, you are already organizing -- campaign tailgates and every

football game and having a lot of fun doing it. [applause] we have 50 days, 50 days, to reach everybody we possibly can to not only win an election -- that is just the first step, but then keep the progress going, go even further, make it absolutely clear that we are going to shape a future that represents the best of who we are. so talk to your classmates, talk to your neighbors. help us stand up to our best values and reject prejudice and paranoia. [applause] mrs. clinton: you know, i mentioned my mother and the kindness she experienced. her life was so neglected that when she went to work as that housekeeper/babysitter at the age of 14, it was the first time

she ever saw a family that loved each other, where the parents loved their children, cared for them, planned for them, where she learned the lessons that enabled her to be such an extraordinary mother to me and my brothers. everything i have learned in my life convinces me that love trumps hate. [cheers and applause] mrs. clinton: so please join us in working together. there is no doubt in my mind that young people have more at stake in this election than any other age group, and when you turn out and vote this fall, we will be sending a message much

larger than even the outcome. we will say we can build a future where all our children have an opportunity to live up to their god-given potential, no matter who they are, where they are from, what they look like, or who they love. that is the america we believe in. that is the america worth fighting for. that is what we have got to do to stand together. we are stronger together, and let's make sure love trumps hate. thank you. [cheers and applause] ♪

>> at a campaign rally, donald trump was critical of hillary clinton's policies. this event was held in florida just outside of fort myers. ♪ mr. trump: wow. thank you. thank you so much.

what a crowd. and outside we have many more people than this outside. it is incredible. it is incredible. [applause] really incredible. thank you very much, it is great to be back in florida, my second home, you know. we love florida. this was a great victory for us in the primaries, and this is what is going to take us over the top in the general election, november 8.

and we are going to make our country great again. we are going to do some of, some job. thank you. we are doing very well in the polls and we are leading in many states, including the great state of florida. and we do expect to win florida. i really expect it. it is going to happen. we're going to win florida. we are going to win back the white house, and we are going to be so happy with winning again, right. our country is going to win again. but today we have some very, very serious matters to discuss. let me begin by thanking our incredible law enforcement officers who do not get the credit they deserve.

[applause] but when i am president, they will get the credit they deserve. what a fantastic job they do. what a fantastic job they do. incredible. there have 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 vet and screen the individuals and families coming into our country. got to be careful. attack, after 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.

so let me say very, very clearly. immigration security is national security. 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. they were too bad. they said, keep them, united states, and she did nothing about it. now she wants a 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 screen them -- in terms of lifetime welfare, benefits, and entitlement costs. you cannot have vetting if you do not look at ideology can and hillary clinton refuses to look at an applicant's ideology -- this is not just a matter of terrorism. this is a question of quality of life.

we want to make sure we are only at many people into our country to love our country. we want them to love our country. [applause] and we want them to love our people. we support immigration that strengthens and uplifts our nation, people who come here, they support our values, and they want to uphold the constitution. my highest duty as president is to protect our citizens and to uphold the constitution of the united states.

i will honor that duty to the fullest extent every single day, and i will never waiver, and i consider that a sacred obligation, sacred. [applause] it is just a plain fact that our 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 great senator and man, has released this 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 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, nazism, communism. now we must defeat radical

islamic terrorism. [applause] yet the president of the united states -- or my opponent -- and both will not even say the words "radical islam terror." [booing] 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 and gays overseas? has hillary clinton ever called people who called these practices irredeemable were 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? to hear the words 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 country than islamic extremists.

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. have you ever seen anything like what is going on in our country? can we do not do anything? people were murdered and 30 were wounded in the assault on fort 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 san bernardino, and another 22 were horribly injured. in june, 39 americans were executed at the pulse nightclub in orlando, and another 53 were injured terribly. it was the worst mass shooting in our history, and the worst attack on the lgbtq community in our history. in europe, we have seen the same carnage and bloodshed come to our 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. --were wounded. two days later, four were murdered in a jewish daily. 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 wounded that many are still in 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 an isis killer invaded a christian church in normandy and forced an 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 rounding up 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. nor can we 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. anyone who cannot name our enemy is not fit to lead this country. >> usa! usa! usa!

mr. trump: do we love our country? >> [indiscernible] [applause] mr. trump: thank you. greatest people on earth. greatest. we have 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. just 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 ineffectiveness caused the 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 of those who assault our values in any way, shape, or form. [applause] 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. thug who planted the bombs. thank you, law enforcement. thank you, police.

but the bad part -- now we will give him an amazing hospitalization. [booing] he will be taken care of by some 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 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 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.
