. waiting lines of people for v.a. appointments today or hoping to have their v.a. disability benefit claims adjudicated are proof of this. in short, mr. president, during a time of war, we ask our troops to give their best even to the point of sacrificing their own lives. when compared against that, how much of a sacrifice is it for a president to engage in a possibly contentious debate with congress over whether military force is a good idea? how difficult is it? way theional members political cost of military action, but our service members bear the human cost of those decisions and if we choose to avoid accountability, avoid a

hard decision, how can we demand our military willingly acrificed their very lives? >> you have been watching a special look back at c-span featuring mike pence and tim kaine. a reminder, we will have coverage of the vice presidential debate tuesday, october 4, starting at 7 p.m. eastern on c-span. >> c-span, created by amerco's public television -- america's television companies and brought you as a service by your cable or satellite survivor -- cable providers.e >> our camping coverage continues with donald trump in pueblo, colorado and really clinton in akron, ohio. after that, a debate the between senator roy blunt and his challenger for the -- challengers for the misery senate seat. -- missouri senate seat.

mr. trump: thank you very much. thank you. it is so great to be here in web pueblo, colorado. we love pueblo. and of those two gentlemen are amazing men and i want to thank them for being with us. you know, pueblo is called home of the heroes. did you know that? because of your proud tradition of military service. pueblo is the home of four medal of honor recipients. i just got the endorsement of 19 altogether. 19. so when you have 19, that's , pretty good. 4, that's amazing.

as president eisenhower said, there must be something in the water out here. because all of you guys turn out to be heroes. what's going on? what's going on? is there something in the water? give me some of that water. colorado is home to six military bases. we are going to rebuild our military, we are going to make it truly, truly strong again. another great colorado legacy is hunting and fishing. [cheers and applause] my sons know that very well. they are here all the time. we are going to conserve your land and save your second amendment, which is under siege. [cheers and applause]

there are a lot of people in this room. this is very impressive. a great honor. another great resource here, energy. crooked hillary clinton wants to shut down the minds, shutdown shale, shutdown oil and natural gas. we are going to end the war on american energy and we are going to put the miners back to work. [cheers and applause] i've also made centerpiece the largest middle class tax cut since ronald reagan and the largest regulatory reform in american history. we are going to do that. hillary clinton is going to increase the taxes very substantially. [booing] and she admits it. at least she admits it. that is because i know how overtaxed and overregulated the working people and companies

here are. a central issue i would like to address today is our broken tax code, an issue of concern to all americans. along with securing our borders, rebuilding or military, redoing bringing deals, and back jobs -- and they are sort of one and the same -- fixing our broken tax code is one of the main reasons i running for am president. i have been saying from the beginning of this campaign how ridiculous, complex, and, yes unfair the tax system is. ,it is an unfair system. and so complex that very few people understand it. fortunately, i understand. [cheers and applause] this is not the fault of the irs. but the political class that is owned outright by the special interests and lobbyists, believe

me. it's these politicians who wrote the tax code and are constantly adding, revising, and changing an already over complicated set of laws, all at the behest of their favorite donors and special interests who want certain provisions put in and they won't take no for an answer. it's thousands of pages long. the average american would need an army of accountants and lawyers to wait through it. -- to wade through it. experts, due to the sheer size and complexity of the code, don't have a clue what these pages represent. these are experts. they get paid and they don't know what it represents. despite being a big beneficiary of the laws.

is something up and talking about for a long time despite , being a big beneficiary of the laws. but i'm not working for you now. -- but i'm working for you now. i'm not working for trump. at believe me. [cheers and applause] [chanting trump] i understand the tax laws better than almost anyone. which is i am one that can truly fix them. i understand it. i can get it. that is what i commit to do. we want fairness. we want money brought in, and we want money to be spent when it goes out, because they spend our tax dollars so unfairly and unwisely. remember that. as a businessman and real estate developer, i have legally used the tax laws to my benefit. and to the benefit of my company.

my investors and my employees. i mean, honestly, i have brilliantly used those laws. i have often said on the campaign trail i have a fiduciary responsibility to pay no more tax than is legally required. like anyone else. or put it another way, to pay as little tax is legally possible. i must tell you, i hate the way they spend our tax dollars. [cheers and applause] believe me, that makes a difference. as a major real estate developer in this country and throughout the world, i face and norma's taxes. taxes, salestate taxes, excise taxes, employee taxis -- employee taxes. it's my chance to minimize the overall tax burden to the

greatest extent possible, which allows me to reinvest in neighborhoods, in workers, and build amazing properties which yield tremendous growth in the communities and always help. always help our great providers of jobs and we have to help our small businesses. that's what it's all about. the tortoise all about. the news media is now obsessed with an alleged tax filing from the 1990's at the end of one of the most brutal economic downturns in our country's history. if you remember the early 90's, other than 1928i would say there -- other than, i would say 1928, there was nothing close. the conditions facing real estate developers back then were almost as bad as the great depression of 1929 and far worse than the great recession of 2008. not even close. what had been a booming economy in the era of ronald reagan

changed dramatically. and the business landscape changed with it. bank failures, collapse, the total disruption of the savings and loan industry, and the implosion of the retail market and real estate in general, something we have never seen anything like it. many business people, including many of my competitors and some of my friends, were not able to survive. companies, jobs, and opportunities were lost and lies were destroyed as tens of thousands of people were put out of work. some of the biggest and strongest people and companies went absolutely bankrupt, which i never did, by the way. are you proud of me? [cheers and applause] i would have loved to use that card, but i just didn't. yes today my company is bigger, , stronger, far greater assets

then it ever had before. more premium properties. we have never done better, it's the strongest we have ever been. over the years we have employed thousands and thousands of people, which is the thing that frankly makes me the most happy. that did not happen by chance or luck. it happened by action and talent. i was able to use the tax laws of this country and my business account to dig out of the real estate mess. you would call it a depression. when few others were able to do what i did. i'm a star. thank you. you are, too. they were amazing times. in those most difficult times, when someone had their backs to the wall, i reached within myself and delivered for my company, my employees, my family, and the communities

where my properties existed and i really delivered. those who spend their entire lives within the confines of government work and know virtually nothing of business failed to understand the skill, dedication, the sheer grit it takes for a company to climb out of the economic depression the scale of which we had in the early 1990's. [applause] people like my opponent, hillary clinton, who is only -- [booing] [crowd chanting] [chanting "lock her up"] mr. trump: folks, let's win on november 8. ok?

anyway, her only method of making money is by selling government favors and by granting access to special interests. she know nothing about how businesses succeed and grow. hillary has never created a single job in her entire life. by the way, we have somebody who has. where is bernie marcus? where is part -- where is bernie. the founder of home depot. go to home depot. he only created hundreds of thousands. how many jobs as home depot produced now, bernie? millions? millions?

that's a lot of jobs area somebody who put a lot of people to work. thank you for being here, home depot is a terrific company. bernie. appreciate it. they haven't had a single dollar of value, people like hillary, for the american economy. she hasn't made an honest dollar in her entire life. all that she does is take from you, take from the country. the special interests and foreign actors and astronomical amounts that you have never seen before. corruption of the highest order. while i made my money as a very successful private business person following the law, all the way hillary clinton made her money as a corrupt public official, breaking the law and putting her government office up for sale. and now she's running for president. by her own account, hillary clinton left the white house,

dead broke. dead broke. [booing] mr. trump: and then -- remember? she became a senator for new york? remember the jobs she was going to produce? she never produce them. then she became secretary of state. and now she and her husband have made over $200 million, without building a country -- company or creating a single thing of value. [booing] during the early 90's, as companies were collapsing all over the place, left and right, the media and powers that the said -- donald trump, he could never make it back. i remember the stories. we were all -- how many people were in trouble back then?

everyone was in trouble. they said i had billions of dollars in borrowing, which was true, and hundreds of millions in personal guarantees, which was true. and no pathway out. which is false. that was a bad time. it was an ugly time. a lot of people, you will never hear from them again. i never had any doubts whatsoever. most importantly, i never, ever give up or even thought about giving up. that is because i knew in my heart that when the chips are down, that's when i perform the very best. that is always when i perform the best.

it's when i make my best decisions. do you remember? bernie saying that hillary clinton has bad judgment. my single best asset is temperament. if you didn't have the right temperament, you could never have escaped that financial jungle, that's for sure. single greatest asset is my temperament. and i have a temperament for winning. you have to win. the temperament of all of us is winning. [cheers and applause] and when people make the mistake of underestimating me, that is when they are really in for their biggest surprise. same thing for a lot of the people in this room. remember the primary? trump is running, starve the apprentice -- "star of "the apprentice -- star of "the apprentice," he's not really

running. now look at this movement. [applause] mr. trump: what we have done is amazing. now we have one person left. crooked hillary. we have to beat her. you have to get out, make calls. jokingly i like to say that -- if you are sick, if you get the absolute worst prognosis from the doctor and it looks like maybe you aren't even going to make it, it doesn't make a dam n bit of difference. get up and vote. [cheers and applause] the reason i never felt endangered -- i never really did -- i never did during the real estate downturn -- i guess i didn't read the stories. i knew myself. i knew my business. i knew the financial system and

the tax code. most importantly, i knew how to fight. that's what you had to do. that is what i am, a fighter. i'm going to fight for you. i'm not fighting for me anymore. i'm fighting for you. with my knowledge i knew that i would make a come back without question. i never had a doubt in my mind. i don't even think of it as a come back. we had good times, tough times, we just knew that things were going to be fine. that is why am here today. thank you. >> [indiscernible] mr. trump: and i'm praying for you and i love you. great people. now i get the whole hero thing. now i get it. [cheers and applause]

mr. trump: but that is why i have left private business. you never would have told me i would be going -- doing this. i wouldn't have commenced with those interviews. i would have said things slightly differently. and i would not have had as good a time in life. and would have made my life as a politician of it easier. you know, these people, holier than thou, they never said anything about the breakfast -- around the breakfast table. they never do. bill and hillary never say anything like this. can you imagine what they say? well, they talked about deplorables and irredeemables. the floor bull, irredeemable. right? they talk about that. you are deplorable. you are irredeemable. i think that irredeemable might

be worse. everyone talks about deplorable? ay yi yi. these are the greatest people in this room. we have seen hundreds of thousands of people. these are the greatest people. importantly, we are going to make a great for all the people. we are to make a great for all the people. [cheers and applause] but i'm doing this and i'm doing it for a very specific reason. because i understand that our country is in very, very bad shape. [chanting trump] mr. trump: that's all right.

sounds like a nice person. oh, oh. i thought that was the commission on presidential debates. i said i didn't know they were here. when they were playing with the mic, back and forth, i thought that was the commission. of the commission, let's see what happens on sunday again. [cheers and applause] my biggest opponent was the microphone.

and now our country is in need of a major comeback. needs one now just about more than ever. we owe $20 trillion in debt, doubled during obama's period as president. [booing] mr. trump: but that's only part of the story. we have $100 trillion in unfunded liability. the budget is out of control with annual deficits. in addition because of the incompetence of our leaders we run massive trade deficits on an annual basis. i will get burning to negotiate a couple of these trade deals. -- i will get bernie to negotiate a couple of these trade deals. you will find out. we now have almost $800 billion per year in trade deficits. you say to yourself -- who are these people negotiating these deals? our country is broke. it's broke. the worst part is that with all the money that we spend so foolishly all over the world, we protect other countries with tremendous losses.

and we want to protect countries. but they should pay us the proper amount. [cheers and applause] but think of it, with all of the money that we spend, and with 20 dollars -- $20 trillion in debt, all the talk and the political nonsense, we have a decaying infrastructure, famine schools and rising crime. we have a depleted military of great people. airplanes that are so old, they go to airplane graveyards for part. they go to museums because they don't make the parts anymore. we have an open border and an economy that cannot create full-time, high-paying jobs. our great jobs have been taken. we will build a wall. don't worry. [yelling] mr. trump: we're going to build a wall. we are going to build a wall. don't worry.

we are going to build a wall. mexico is going to pay for the wall. they don't know it yet. but they are going to pay for the wall. [cheers and applause] you have a tremendous problem right here, but we will have drugs stop pouring into our country, destroying our youth, poisoning our people. poisoning our people. we are a divided nation. each week it seems that we are getting more and more divided. with race riots on the streets on a monthly basis. somebody said don't call them race riots. but that's what they are. race riots. it's happening more and more. if you look at charlotte, a great city where i have property, a great city, different places around the country, st. louis, ferguson, baltimore, chicago. in chicago thousands of , shootings, thousands since january. 4000 shootings -- think of it -- since january. this was not the america that

was handed down to us or the one we want to leave to our children. [cheers and applause] it is certainly not the america that we want to pass down to our grandchildren. but this is the america that we will have if we don't turn things around starting immediately. we don't have much time, folks. we don't have much time. and if we don't win this election, it will never happen again. this opportunity is never going to happen again. what i say is not lost on the what i say is not lost on the american people. 70% of you believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. and i'm trying to figure out who the other 30% are. i want to meet them. we cannot have another four

years of barack obama and hillary clinton will be worse. she will be worse. we can turn our country around. but if we don't they could change in leadership right now, it will never happen. the failed political establishment must go. it must go for the sake of your country, your future, and those that you love the most. [cheers and applause] in the early 1990's they splash the front pages with stories about how donald trump -- me, they said i was finished. everybody said that i was done. there were front-page articles in "the wall street journal," and "the new york times," among many others. they were thrilled and delighted -- can you believe these people?

they're going crazy. [cheers and applause] mr. trump: they say 1990's, saying here i am -- can i ever get rid of this guy? they were thrilled to write the stories. they said i was finished. the only person that didn't think i was in trouble was a guy named donald j. trump. i didn't think it was in trouble. i sort of didn't know what they were talking about. does that make sense? power of positive thinking, but i didn't know what they were talking about. as i grew, i borrowed money to grow the company. big money from big banks. when the bottom fell out of the real estate market, i have this large amount of debt that stay the same and the value of assets plummeted. i was young and you have to learn. i learned. i work really hard.

i knew how to use the tax code to rebuild my company when others didn't. i fully understood the banks, the bankers, and how to deal with them. my understanding of the tax code give me a tremendous advantage over those who didn't have a clue about it, including many of my competitors, who lost everything they had never to be heard from again. some people that i knew were good, doing a good job. never ever to be heard from again. now they are gone, and i'm here, ready to turn things around for our country. [cheers and applause] i'm going to do it. [cheers and applause] mr. trump: the early 90's was a very tough time for the world. but in tough times you need very tough and very smart people. these are tough times for america. i will tell you, we need tough and smart leadership.

not people who tell you what you want to hear, but people who tell you what you need to hear. we must never allow corrupt career politicians like the clintons ever to get back into the white house again. [cheers and applause] mr. trump: these tough times were when i performed my best. the economy, the banks, they were collapsing. i enjoyed waking up every day to go to battle. survive until 95 and you will be ok. i get up to take on the financial establishment on behalf of my company, my employees, my family, myself, and win. that's what we did. i won, i won, and i kept on winning. until this day. all you have to do is ask all

the evil week competed against and ask them -- how did trump -- all you have to do is ask all of the 17 people we competed against and ask them -- how did trump do. they will say, he won. [cheers and applause] but that's the thinking that we need for our country. when we are negotiating trade deals, military deals, economic deals on the behalf of the american people. we need great people negotiating our deals for us. we have the greatest negotiators and greatest is nice people in the world and we use political hacks to negotiate our deals. not anymore, we're not. not anymore. put me into the boardroom as your representatives and i promise i will deliver.

hillary clinton is in it only for herself, her daughters, enter special interests. i'm providing for america. many people. [cheers and applause] mr. trump: many people have said over the years that i perform better under pressure than anyone they've ever seen. i proven it over and over again. that is what we have to do right now. when the pressure is on, when the odds are stacked against me and you, when people say that it can't be done, that is when we get started. we are going to change things around. the thing that motivates me the most is when people tell me that something is impossible. for me, impossible is just a starting point. that's when you begin.

[cheers and applause] mr. trump: and remember, with $20 trillion in debt and $100 trillion in unfunded liability, a lot of people say it's impossible. we are sitting on a big, fat, ugly bubble. obama doesn't allow the fed to raise interest rates. when they go, you watch what happens. it will be very unattractive. he will be out playing golf someplace. you know what? they are wrong and what they are doing and it's unfair to the people, unfair to the country and they are so wrong. from the depths of that terrible real estate depression i created a company worth billion's and billions of dollars and created

tens of thousands and created tens of thousands of jobs. together we revitalized neighborhoods, rejuvenated communities, and hired thousands and thousands of workers. on november 8, america's come back begins, and we need a come back. and we are going to rise up from our present challenges bigger and better and stronger than ever before. [cheers and applause] mr. trump: a lot of people said, why are you going to pueblo? everything about pueblo says winner, including what dwight eisenhower said long ago. and they said, do you think they will like you in pueblo? i said, i think so. they said, well come you have a lot of hispanics and latinos in pueblo. i said that's why they are going to like me, actually.

believe me. when you look at what is happening with the african-american community, when you look at what's happening with the hispanic community, very, very unfair. very, very unfair. [chanting "trump"] mr. trump: the people in pueblo know what it takes to rebuild this country. friend or foe. he's got a very weak voice, so you can let him stay. but just be good, sir. be nice. we all love you. you're on the other side.

sanders people had so much more spirit and vim and vigor than the hillary people. the hillary people are not in the same category. if bernie sanders had not made the deal with the devil, he would have gone down in the history of politics is a very rare and unique person. but when he made that deal, and i know that he wished he didn't, he had an event recently where 150 people showed up to hear him talk. i will say this, we've always had by far the biggest crowds. but he was second. but he made a deal with the devil and his supporters are no longer really his supporters any longer. that i can tell you. one of the things that bernie sanders and i agreed on is trade. and trade is something that is so sad in this country, what is happening, how jobs are being taken. the difference is, i can do something about it, and make a bad deal into a a great deal.

all he knew is, it was bad. this is a city with a rich immigrant history and a rich latino history. the latinos love trump, right? that has contributed to much to this country and this state. through the people of pueblo -- thank you. and their families, they've come from all regions of the world. you are united by this one very important factor. you are all americans. [cheers and applause] [chanting "usa"] mr. trump: and as americans, you are entitled to the same protections as every other

american gets. everyone living lawfully inside our borders are entitled to the same things, safe communities, a great education, and access to high paying jobs and really good jobs. and this isn't happening. this is the change that i will deliver. hillary clinton has been there for 30 years, delivering nothing but talk and failure. the other night when we were at the debate, i noticed more than ever before, she says she's going to this and this and that. i said to myself, why hasn't she been doing it for 30 years, right? just talk. her policies have wrought death

and destruction overseas and poverty at home. she has brought massive poverty to everyone, but especially for african-american and latino citizens. she comes in, tries to get their vote, although i must tell you, the enthusiasm for her is very small. don king, the great boxing promoter, who endorses me, said donald, the african-americans love you. don king. big don. here's a man, whether you like him or not, that's a smart cookie, a tough cookie, and he has done a job. he has done job. but he said you are going to see a big surprise in november. in this case he was talking about the african-americans. he said you are going to see a big surprise because so many african-american people love you and they want you to really help them out in terms of the inner cities in particular, where it is so dangerous, where education

is so bad, where jobs are nonexistent, where youth cannot get jobs. so i want to thank don king and so many others for their endorsement. we have so many others, and so many reverends and pastors, bishop jackson from detroit, incredible people. pastor darrell scott. so many, and i'm so honored by it. believe me, i am honored by it. don said that hillary clinton takes the african-american vote for granted. here is the bad news, i don't think you are going to want to go out and vote for her. this is not barack obama where they really had spirit to vote for him. nobody has spirit. remember she called african-american male youth super predators? who wants to vote for her, she's not going to do the job anyway. she opposes school choice and she wants to trap african-american and latino

children into the failing government schools. because she is getting a lot of money from the teachers unions. she doesn't want to have choice and she doesn't want to end common core that we can bring education locally, which is very important. she doesn't want to do that. we are going to get poor minorities -- i'm telling you, the commission on presidential debates is operating this microphone. every time the secret service hears that sound, they go, whoa. that commission on presidential debates, what a joke they are. i got to go through them on sunday night again? and by the way, mike pence on tuesday night, he has been fantastic.

tuesday night. tuesday night. we are going to get poor minority children out of failing schools and into the public-private charter or magnet school of their choice. it's going to be a big difference. i will tell you, the latino children, the african-american children, it's going to be some difference, believe me. hillary clinton supports obamacare and wants to expand it. and obamacare is an absolute disaster. how much have they raised your premiums this year? how about triple, quadruple? it's horrible, and it's going to die of its own weight, but we are going to terminate it and replace it and it will be so much better and so much less expensive. premiums in colorado are set to go up another 20%. the only way to stop this

disaster is to vote for trump. i'm telling you to vote for trump. they'll be going down. hillary clinton also supports the terrible trade deals like bill clinton's nafta and china's entry into the world trade organization, and next, she wants to support transpacific partnership, the deal she called the gold standard, that she lied to during the debate. she said she never called it the gold standard, and lester holt kept questioning me on everything, but he never questioned her on that. right? and it turned out to be a lie. she called it the gold standard, and she will approve it if she gets in. but if she gets in, you people have made one bad mistake, i can tell you. colorado has lost more than one in seven manufacturing jobs since nafta and china deals. but while you have lost out, hillary clinton has raked in cash from her contributors. she and bill have made $150 million in speeches, and she's a bad speaker, to special interests.

and she is a bad speaker -- to special interests. they gave 39 speeches to be -- big banks including $2 , million in speaking fees from goldman sachs. the clintons received another $2 million from us with bank after -- from a swiss bank after hillary negotiated a favorable settlement for them as secretary of state. [yelling] up"] chanting "lock her mr. trump: to hide her corruption, hillary clinton puts her e-mails on it illegal secret server, open to foreign hacking. then she deleted and bleached 33,000 e-mails after a congressional subpoena to hide them from the public.

she lies to congress under oh and her ringleaders took the fifth amendment and got immunity deals. explain that in so many ways, it one. is worse than watergate. the investigation of hillary rigged and it's a shame, and it's one of the settlers things that has ever taken place in our nation, believe me, what has gone on. we have become a banana republic. you know what? we have. today we learned that the fbi made a side deal with clinton top aides to destroy their laptops. did you know this? let me repeat. the fbi reportedly made a deal to destroy the laptops of government officials implicated in a massive criminal cover-up. i think you have a lot of great people in the fbi, and you do, indeed. i think they are extremely upset at what is going on.

hillary clinton is the ringleader of a criminal enterprise it has corrupted our government at the highest level, and the american people have one chance to stop it, by showing up in voting on november 8. people have had it with the years and decades of clinton corruption. this is the year the american people say enough is enough. the clintons are the sordid aspect we are together as a movement, all of us come outside of this area, all over the country, we are the bright future. now, another issue i want to address today, only, is immigration. as i mentioned, pueblo is filled with wonderful, hard-working immigrants. it's these hard-working

immigrants who stand to lose the most from our open border immigration policy. illegal immigration and broken these of programs take jobs directly from latino and hispanic workers living here lawfully today. you know that. they are taking your jobs. it illegal immigration brings with it massive crime and massive drugs, including a terrible heroin problem right here in colorado. you have a big problem. so we are going to build a border wall, -- what? [yelling] mr. trump: we are going to build a wall and we are going to stop the drugs, the gangs, the violence, from pouring into colorado. we've got a lot of bad people that came in. we have great people that came in, but we have a lot of gang

members, we have a lot of druglords, we have a lot of drug sellers. we are going to ship them the hell out, ok? immediately. we are going to shut down the sanctuary cities that have led to the preventable deaths of so many. cases like a woman murdered by a five-time deported illegal immigrant who should never have been here. or cases like sarah roots killed , by an immigrant released at the border by president obama and then released again after the killing. there are over 2 million criminal aliens in this country, and we are going to get them out, and get them out fast. to the cartels, the gangs, the drug dealers, i have a simple message to you. your days are numbered, and your reign of crime will soon come

[cheers and applause] now, i may become president, but he will be king of ohio, for as long as there is a king. i'm obviously delighted to be endorsed by someone who has demonstrated such leadership and such extraordinary ability, but i will tell you what really moved me the most, he has given

back to his hometown. he has advocated for small businesses, for kids, giving kids more opportunities. he has spoken out on criminal justice reform. he is someone who uses the platforms he has earned, because he has worked so hard over so many years to speak out and speak up for those who may not have a voice. so i am truly honored to have his support, and especially to be able to tell people in his hometown how i am looking forward, not just to watch him play basketball, but to continue to be a leader in so many different ways.

now, we do have an important election coming up. [cheers and applause] so who here is planning to vote? well, that is very good news, because this is the most consequential election, i think, in our lifetime. the choice could not be clearer, and we need everybody should show up. how many of you still have to register to be able to vote? everybody here registered? [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: well, i want you to talk to your friends, because the deadline for registering in ohio is october 11. that's just a little over a week away.

and if you are not sure whether or not someone you know is registered, or maybe you, yourself, want to be absolutely positive, you can go to i will vote.com. see that sign over there? go there and confirm your registration, and register, if you need to. so let's get everybody you know to register and maybe start voting when early voting starts on october 12. because we have just 36 days left. 36 days, and we are reaching out, we are making phone calls, knocking on doors. if you want to get involved, you can go to my website, hillary clinton.com. sign up to be part of this

campaign in the next 36 days. you can text join at 47246 and get involved. because we are running to win ohio in this election. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: and you know, everybody in the campaign is crisscrossing ohio. my daughter has been here a bunch. tim kaine and his wonderful wife have been here. my husband is coming back tomorrow for a two day bus tour through ohio. and i will be back, because we care about ohio and we want to make sure ohio makes the best choice for the future of the people of this great state.

now, i'm going to close this campaign the way that i started my career along time ago. fighting for kids and families, standing up for people who may need a little extra boost in life, making sure that this country delivers on the promise of the american dream. i believe the american dream is big enough for everybody. if you are willing to work for it, and do your part, you should be able to get ahead and stay ahead in america. now, my opponent and i have a really different you about what it takes to get ahead and stay ahead, and that may be because we have very different life experiences. and that's ok, people have different families, different views of the world, but here is

what i have noticed. i have noticed that he always puts himself first. and maybe that's because he was born into a millionaire family. he started his business with the $14 million loan from his father. his father bailed him out, apparently that is the pattern, you've got to be bailed out when you do business with him. and he then has taken advantage of every single element of our tax code, of our economy, that he could. and along the way, along the way he has stiffed people, small businesses and workers and contractors. and that's part of the reason i take this election so seriously. my dad was a small business.

my grandfather was a factory worker. and so my dad, when he got out of the navy in world war ii, he started a small business. he started printing business. he printed fabric for draperies. and you know, he worked really hard. he had a plant in chicago. no natural light, no windows. just a long room where there were two big long tables and the fabric had been laid out on them. if you have ever seen silkscreen, that's what he did. you take a silkscreen, you put it down, you take the squeegee, go across and lifted up. -- you lift it up. you go down to the end of one long table and start on the end of the other long table. and then if it was going to be two colors, you would add another color, doing exactly the same thing. it was before the machines. my dad could not have afforded that anyway. but he worked really hard and produced a good, middle-class life for our family.

so when i think about the way that my opponent has taken advantage of people, i've got to tell you, i am really grateful my dad never got a contract from him. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: because i have met people he stiffed. i'm talking painters and plumbers, i'm talking dishwashers, marble in stoller glass installers, architects. a man who sold them p.m. post for one of his casinos, he would not pay them. you've got to stop and ask yourself, what kind of person does that? somebody who works hard and has a contract, which they expect to be honored. i met a man who had a small

family business, installed the glass in one of those casinos. submitted the bill, and donald trump said no, we are not going to pay it. the man was stunned, as so many hundreds and hundreds of people have been. then they come back, come back and say we will give you $.20, maybe $.30 on the dollar. some of those small business -- small businesses, they couldn't afford that. they had bought the materials, they had provided the services. trump didn't care. he basically just walked away from them, made them feel like they had failed, even though they had done the work they had been asked to provide. i've got to tell you, that is not the way we are supposed to do business in america.

and i cannot imagine having a president who believes that that is the way you are supposed street people. but you are going to help me make sure he never gets near the white house. [cheers and applause] [chanting "hillary"] ms. clinton: earlier today into -- earlier today in toledo, i talked about all of the changes i want to make in how we can protect americans from the kind of corporate fraud that we have seen too much of. the most recent example is wells

fargo. wells fargo actually had people, thousands of their employees, putting customers into accounts they either never asked for or did not understand. and then every time they put some money into a new account, they got fees, which then gave them a chance to get a bigger bonus. a really crummy game that hurt people. so thankfully, we have an organization now, the consumer financial protection bureau in washington, that looks out for people who get defrauded like that. that is an important part of how we are going to protect people, and it's run, you may know, by richard cordray, from ohio. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: now, will it surprise you that donald wants to eliminate that agency? well, we are not going to let

that happen. that agency has already recovered 11 billion dollars for people taken advantage of by corporations, and the history of wells fargo shows that we have to keep the pressure on big banks so they can never wreck the economy again the way they did back in 2008. i have said we are never going to lead wall street wreck main street again and i mean it. contrast that, contrast that with my opponent. he wants to do away with the rules that have been imposed on wall street. wants to let wall street, the banks, the hedge funds, all of these other

institutions basically do what they want again. i will tell you what. we are not going to let that happen. we need more rules, not fewer rules on them. us to make it easier to start a small business, to get rid of the red tape. to make it clear that most new jobs are going to come from small businesses in america, so dynamic, have a big, small business economy. we are not going to let big business and big corporations call the shots anymore. that is not working for us. but trump's whole economic vision is really trickle down economics. that has same idea failed us before.

he believes all you do is cut taxes on the wealthy and it trickles down. well, we know that doesn't work. we have been down that road. what he wants to do is -- i think it is fair to say -- trickle down on steroids. taxeshe has proposed would/ on the wealthy. i'm a little confused about this. because for a long time, we have been saying hey, where are your tax returns. -- where are your tax returns? a lot of us wondered what he was hiding. you know if it was something that would make him look good he would put them right out there. everybody who has run for president in at least the last 40 years have released their tax returns.

my husband and i have about 40 years of tax returns out there. you can go and look at them and you can see, we pay a lot of taxes and frankly, we were grateful we could. we are grateful for the over the we have had last 15 years. so, did any of you see the debate last monday? well, you know, i raised it. is he hiding?what maybe he is not as rich as he claims. maybe he is not as charitable as he claims. not what is to see that he owes millions of

dollars to foreign banks and foreign lenders. [cheering] ms. clinton: or maybe he hasn't paid any taxes. now, shortly after the debate, it was discovered that, indeed, back in the 1990s, he apparently lost a billion dollars on bad investments and failing casinos. [booing] ms. clinton: ask yourself this: who loses money on casinos? [cheering]
