and i believe the healthy indiana plan is a great place to start. the healthy indiana plan is a consumer driven health care plan that moves people from emergency rooms to primary care and encourages hoosiers to take care of their own health care decisions. we will continue to work in good faith with federal officials to expand access to the healthy indiana plan in our state. but i will oppose -- i will any thatl oppose threatens the health care of [applause] te stop >> of course, the most important is about our schools.

if you can't succeed in the classroom you won't succeed in the market is. , for all ofws is those gathered here and my fellow hoosiers looking on, indiana is succeeding. this year, more than 500 public schools improved a full letter grade or more. fastest growing school choice program in the country and with strong by dozens of court from both chambers last year, we were busy all over the state working to make career and vocational education a priority in every high school in indiana again. we have made great progress working together. on career education, we are expanding curriculum and high schools in developing new partnerships with local to support regional career education.

to go toone that wants college regardless of where they started out to be encouraged, we know there is a lot of good jobs in indiana that do not require a college degree. these new partnerships through our regional works councils operating all over the state of louisiana -- indiana will make sure our schools work for all of the kids regardless of where they started. adults get thee high wage, high demand jobs available only in indiana today. [applause] high expectations when it comes to our schools. tot is why indiana decided

to get timeout on national education standards. settingcomes to standards for our schools let me be clear, indiana's standards will be uncommonly high and they will be written by hoosiers, for hoosiers, in the among the best in the nation. [applause] >> that progress i just described earlier is a testament to our kids. to our parents. to our teachers. to our administrators and do the indiana state board of education. join me in thanking every member of the indiana's a board of education and superintendent glenda who was here with us

tonight. we appreciate your service to the people of indiana. applause] >> now, i have always said there is nothing that ails indian i in ofcation more than lack choice. to give more choice, we can earlyin the area of childhood development because every child deserves to start school ready to learn. believe the time has come for a voluntary pre-k program to help indiana's disadvantaged kids. [applause]

>> now, i will always believe the best we k program is a prosperous family able to provide the kind of enrichment in the kind of enrichment any home every japanese in deserves but -- that every child needs a hand deserves. it is important this program be available at new form of a voucher as well. i want parents to be able to choose to send their child to a church-based program, private program, or public regain program that they think would best meet their needs. i encourage all of you in the general assembly to come partyer, work across lines on behalf of our children into their future. let's open the doors of opportunity to low income families for quality pre-k education in indiana this year. [applause]

pence: another way to give parents more choices is to the end the availability of public charter schools. even though they are charter are not charters actually without several disadvantages. we need to offer flexibility to allow them to have their budgets as public schools and in the interest of greater choice for families we should make sure that underutilized public school buildings can be put used by charters and other schools that need them. choice matters but at the end of the day, every you should now is -- every hoosier knows a good teacher makes all the difference. [applause] you know, wee: cannot think of a teacher who changed our lives. someone who is on our mind right now. someone who saw more not been we

saw in ourselves. i think of sister rachel, mrs. fisher, and others who touched my life. investen we do not enough in our teachers and allow them to invest as reformers. they've dedicated their lives to education and we should do more to unleash their creativity and expertise. we need a teacher innovation fund to help teachers who are willing to try new ways to teach our kids. people like steve perkins and indianapolis, a latin teacher whose enthusiasm and knighted and enthusiasm for classical education and that's: got him name the 2014 teacher of the year. mr. perkins and his family are here with us tonight. [applause]

with all the talk about parental choice, i believe teachers deserve more choices too. i think any public school teacher who feels called to teach in a low performing school should have some of your compensation protected if they are willing to make that move. let's let our teachers follow their hearts and go where they think they can me the most difference. on the subject of marriage, i know we are in the midst of a debate over whether indiana should join or the other states that have enshrined the definition of origin hours date constitution. each of us has our own perspective. for my part, i believe in traditional marriage in i have long held the view that people rather than unelected judges should decide matters in such great consequence in our society. reasonable people can differ. there are good people on each sides of the debate.

oneme say from my heart, no on either side of this debate deserves to be despaired storm online because of who they are or what they leave. [applause] pence: let us have a debate worthy of our people, with civility and respect. let's respect the right of hoosier employees to hire who they want and provide them with the benefits they deserve and let us result is issued this year one and for all. [applause] and, after that is ever let us come together to support every hoosier family. one way we can do that is by helping working families with their family budget. taxjuneau that our

deductions for independence in indiana have not increased since 1978 even though the cost of living has increased 3.6 times? i think it is time to index the personal exemptions to end this hidden tax on working families and indiana. remember thato families come together at many different ways. like the family of karen sauer. karen is a single mom who felt called to become a parent by adoption. she adopted her two kids, nevin and dustin when they were 11:00 a.m. 12-years-old after they had spent years in foster care. karen said people are always telling her she is changing those gives lives. she is on is quick to say, "they are changing mine." would you join me and welcoming a great indiana family to the people's house tonight? karen a hand the kids, you are

an inspiration to us all. [applause] adoption is a usable way for families to come together forever in and we can utter support amalie's like karen spikes ending in improving adoption in indiana. place improve the way we children from state karen adoptive homes and support every helm that is willing to lovingly adopt a child into their home. we should make it our aim to do nothing less than making indiana the most pro-adoption state in the united states of america. announcer: more now from mike pence's time as indiana governor. the indianapolis star ran a full-page headline titled "fix this now."

a reference to a state law making it easier for businesses and individuals to discriminate against people because of their gender. responding to widespread criticism, governor pence called on the state legislature to to protect those. manynor pence: it has eight have weak but we are moving forward. as governor, i have the great religions serving the greatest people on earth, the people of indiana. let me say first and foremost i was proud to sign a religious freedom restoration act last week. i believe religious liberty, as president clinton said when he signed the federal law in 1993, i believe religious liberty is our first freedom. it is vital.

vital to millions of americans my cherish faith as i and family do. but it is also vital to the framework of freedom in our nation. in this legislation was designed the italic the of religious liberty in the hoosier state. i think hoosiers are entitled to these aim rights that have been in our federal courts for 20 plus years and in the other states. but clearly there has been misunderstanding and confusion and mischaracterization of this law. in and i come before you today to say how we are going to address that. we had been working over the last several days, literally around the clock and talking to people across the state of indiana, talking to business leaders, and talking to organizations around the country have spent time in indiana and

enjoyed the hospitality of people in the indiana and we have been listening. let me say first and foremost as i said to each one of them, the religious freedom restoration act was about religious liberty, not about discrimination. as i said last week, had this law been about legalizing discrimination i would have vetoed it. this law does not give anyone a license to discriminate. the religious freedom restoration act in indiana does not give anyone the right to deny services to anyone in this state. it is simply a balancing test used by our federal courts and jurisdictions across the country for more than two decades. of thesay on the subject bill itself, i do not believe that it was the

intention of the general assembly to create a license to denyiminate or a right to services to gays, lesbians, or anyone else in the state and it was certainly not my intent but i cannot appreciate that it has become the perception not just here in indiana but all across this country and we need to confront that and confronted boldly in a way that respects the interest of all involved. first of all, a reflection for a moment if i can. i afford discrimination -- i abhor discrimination. was like was raised most hoosiers with the golden rule, that you should do unto others as you would have them do as youu will stop and -- would have them do unto you. and i believe in my heart of hearts no one should be a ross stores mistreated because of who they are, who they love, or what they believe. and i believe every hoosier

shares that conviction. have got aid, we perception problem here because some people have a different view. we intend to correct that. after much reflection, and in consultation with leadership of the general assembly, i have come to the conclusion that it would be helpful to move legislation this week that makes it clear that this law does not give businesses a right to deny services to anyone. again.say that i think it would be helpful and a would like to see on my desk before the end of this week legislation that is added to the religious freedom restoration act in indiana which makes it not give anyw does

business the right to deny services to anyone. we want to make it clear that indiana is open for business. we want to make it clear that hoosier hospitality is not just a slogan it is a way of life. it is the reason people come here from around the world and they come back again and again and again. his hoosiers are the kindest, most decent, most generous people in the world. let me sadly this is a clarification but it is also a fix, it is a fix of a bill that through mischaracterization and confusion has come to be greatly misunderstood. and i am determined to address this this week and to move forward as a state in i know we well. harsha has come under the glare of criticism from around the country and some of us get

paid to be under that harsh glare and that criticism so we do not complain about it but the things that have been said about our state have been at times ieply offensive to me and will continue to use every andrt to defend the good decent people of indiana. i think it is important we take this action this week. i have spoken to legislative leaders all the way through the last hour and we are going to be working to make that happen. announcer: the final portion of our special program on the careers of the vice presidential candidates features remarks on the senate floor by tim kane. this speech took place shortly after president obama began escalating military operations against isis in the middle east.

senator kaine expresses support for the president but also cause i'm congress -- also calls on congress to deal with specific support. >> we are nation of laws but also values. i realize -- i urge the president not just to inform us of what he seeks to do but to follow the constitution to defeat isil. do not believe the president has the authority to forgo an offense and wage open-ended war on isil without congressional approval and in making the momentous decision to authorize military action, we owe it to our troops who was their lives to do our job and reach a consensus supporting the military mission they were ordered to complete. let me deal with the legal issue. the constitution's care, it is the job of congress not the president to declare war. toe parts are vague and open

-- and you have to be 35 years old to be president of the united states. the power to declare war is a clear and specific power. any new rated power of congress. the priority of the cost is illuminated by principal drafters writings, james madison. in a letter to thomas jefferson after the constitution was ratified, madison explained the war powers in article one. "our constitution supposes what the history of all governments demonstrate, that the executive branch of government most interested and prone to war has accordingly and vested with care vested the question of war and so i president." needs congressional approval. as commander-in-chief, a president can always take steps

to defend america from imminent threats, the framers understood this but they intended the president seek to return to that action.et we must follow the command that the president must come to congress to initiate major military action. a congressional recess, president obama began a new military action against isil. he indicated it might continue for a. of time. he is for texting americans from threat to a campaign of going on offense to degrade the ability of isil to harm. this is precisely the kind of action that calls for andressional action approval. some have asserted, mr. president, that the seekistrative need not approval for airstrikes. humbly and respect fully, i .eeply disagree with that

it allows us to defend america from imminent threat that it does not allow him the ability to wage an offense of war with our congress. the 2001 authorization for use of military force crafted by president bush in congress in the days after the attacks limits the president's power to actions against perpetrators of those attacks. 9/11 perpetrator, it did not form until 2003. president bush sought a broader -- at that time. had congress granted such a power, the war against isil would've been covered by that a explicitlyress rejected giving the president the power to wage war against unknown terrorist organizations without express congressional approval. any reference to the 2001 a umf .ould fly directly in the face

congress passed a second a umf in 12 2002. that was completed long ago. american troops left iraq in 2007 and the administration a test of ride recently before the aumf should bes repealed. there's no justification. the iraqi government has asked for our help, which says international sovereignty questions but it does not create its own domestic legal justification. the resolution creates a set of timing rules for congressional action and response in matters of war. the resolution has been widely viewed as unconstitutional forever right of reasons but even accepting its validity and

the president like most, almost a 60inly does not accept day limitation on article two powers, it does not accept the basic constitutional framework vesting the -- in the legislative branch. i think it a reluctance to do to anngress is less illegal analysis concerning broad executive power than to a general attitude held by our president that coming to congress on a question like this is to cumbersome and unpredictable and some who view questions of military action in a difficult circumstance as politically explosive and best avoided if at all possible. the president and my colleagues to resist the urge to cut corners. there is no more important business done in house of congress than weighing whether to take military action and send service members into harms way.

if we have learned nothing else in the last 13 years, we should have certainly learned that. coming to congress is challenging but the framers designed it to be and we all pledged to serve the government known for particular checks and balances between the branches of government. remember in the days after 9/11, whose anniversary recover a this week president bush brought to , congress a request for military action. the ruins of the pentagon and the world trade center were still smoking. the search for the lost was still ongoing. certainly, the american public would have supported the president's strong and immediate executive action in that circumstand but president bush knew that the nation would be stronger if he came to congress to seek authority. similarly, president bush came to congress prior to initiating military action in iraq. so many people lessons were learned in the aftermath of that authorization but it is important to remember that it was not unilateral executive decision, but congress was included and did support the

mission. i believe it would be a grievous mistake after 13 years of war to evolve towards a new strategy of taking prolonged military action without bothering to seek congressional approval and i particularly worry about the precedent it would create for future presidents to assert they have unilateral rights to engage in long-term military action without the full participation of the people's and just later ranch. -- legislative branch. as president obama said last year when announcing he would come to congress to seek military authorization to combat the use of chemical weapons in syria -- this is not about who occupies the office at any given time, it is about who we are as a country. i believe the people's representatives must be invested in what we do abroad. mr. president, i focus my remarks on the legal reasons for the president to engage the legislation. let me offer an additional reason in conclusion. an even more important reason on why the president and the congress should work together to

craft a suitable mission for this important effort. when we engage in military action, even only an air campaign, we ask our troops to risk their lives and their health, physical and mental. of course, we pray for their complete safety and success, but let us be realistic enough to acknowledge that some may die. orbe injured or be captured see these things happen to their comrades-in-arms. even those that may make it home physically safe, they will see or do things in war that will affect them for the rest of their lives. the long lines of people waiting for va appointments today that are hoping to have their va disability claims adjudicated are proof of this. in short, mr. president, during the 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 about whether military action is a good idea. how much of a sacrifice is it for a member of congress to debate and vote about whether military action is a good idea? while congressional members face the political costs of debate on military action, our servicemembers bear the human cost of those decisions. if we choose to avoid debate, avoid accountability, avoid a hard decision, how can we demand that our military willingly sacrifices their very lives? announcer: you have been watching a special look back at events featuring mike pence and tim kaine. the debate will be on tuesday,

starting at 7:30 p.m. eastern time on c-span. >> c-span, created by america's television companies and brought to you as a public service by your cable or satellite provider. >> donald trump campaigns in prescott valley, arizona, today. we will have live coverage today starting at 5:00 p.m. eastern on c-span two. >> today, a look at changing welfare problems. the cato institute host policy institutes at an event looking at policy and the economy. siena at 12:00 p.m. eastern on c-span two. our c-span buses traveling throughout new york this week asking voters, what is the most important issue to you in this

election and why. >> i am a master's of student at the university of albany from buffalo, new york and i am a student on these university -- on the sunni board. i would like to see inclusion, mental health, student loan interest rate, campus safety are critical now more then ever. what we do to ensure these issues are not only address but that a student voices at the table? ini am a member of congress new york and the most important issue in the election for me a, the presidential election, is 's plan forte economic growth and for america's place in the world. the united aids is the most generous government in the history of the worldly and i think these are the kind of issues we need to discuss in a debate forum. oxide, my name is jonathan peters and i am a student at the albany.ty of

my concern is who's going to take care of our policies. i think both of our candidates ine very opposing views terms of our allies with russia, want aand syria and i strong leader who can take care of that effectively. announcer: voices from the road on sees you. andext, a look at education health care issues from the washington ideas form. we hear from the president of the american federation of services and the secretary of health and human services. this is hosted by the atlantic magazine into the after the institute. [applause]

randi: i came at this the long way. maura and i have been working on teacher -- stan is from the -- is the head of the i.b.m. foundation, was a meeting we had at roosevelt's house in new york a couple years ago. let me just say this is the epitome of a public-private partnership. of a big corporation and and a teachers union working together to help teachers. think about the 4:00 a.m. in the morning, think about 4:00 a.m. in the morning. i'm not talking about all of you who take a plane somewhere and wake up at 4:00 in the morning. i'm talking about teachers who wake up at the start at 4:00 in the morning, they have a lesson plan, they know their kids, and they are thinking about how do i customize, what do i do? we started something called

"share my lesson" which has almost a million users where they can pull lessons. the difference between that and watson, the teacher advisor, is that you can customize your lesson based upon the needs of your kids. and as stan said in the video, it gets smarter and smarter and smarter the way -- by more teachers using it as cara and jody were talking about. and maura will talk a little bit about what technology is before anybody starts thinking this is big brother, what the technology is and what the tool really is and why we're so excited about it. maura: thank you, randi, thank you for having me with you today on stage. my thanks to the atlantic and aspen institute for organizing such an important forum. it's a real pleasure to be with you. let me talk about the technology first. so watson is cognitive , computing. it's a form of artificial intelligence that depends on natural language processing and machine learning.

so, it's very different than traditional programmable. it gets smarter with usage. it depends upon information and ingested. it's a partnership between man and machine or woman and machine. to come up with the feeding of information and surfacing evidence based answers. watson became pretty famous in 2011 when it played the game show jeopardy, but it's been a lot of places since then. it's working in oncology to help doctors with cancer treatments. it's working in retail. it's working in legal and lots of other fields. we were asked how to employ that. and i represent the ibm foundation. we were interested in doing something for free that would

make a contribution in the k-12 space. so we assembled thought leaders like randi weingarten and other policy subject matter experts and practitioners, teachers, deans of schools of ed, etc. and collectively we talked about this and what we were advised is that teacher professional development is an area that could use some help. there's not a lot of money to be made there. so maybe this is where we ought to focus watson. so we did. and we started with elementary school mathematics. specifically third grade mathematics. it is very exciting because we're already seeing the difference it can make. randy talked about how you can customize lessons. but we're seeing the excitement in the eyes of teachers who say, gee, you developed this for me and involved teachers in the development and i had this all in one place and i can use it for free 24/7.

randi: both maura and stan, who you saw in the video, have incredible public school experience. when the teachers came to these original meetings and said this is a powerful tool, but let's not make this mistake that all sorts of other ed tech companies have made. if you say it's about helping teachers, it has to be about helping teachers. it can't be judgmental and it cannot be evaluative. ibmhat is the tool that created.n and ibm has think about our teachers, particularly elementary school teacher. they are responsible for teaching the whole child everything in a very short period of time. and many of them have 20 to 50 kids in their class.

and so the customization becomes really important, particularly these days they'll go to a colleague and say, ok, randi doesn't understand fractions. everybody else in my class does, she is not getting when there is 1/8, she's not getting the 8th. anybody have any ideas about how to help her? help me help her? what happens is, you have this tremendous bank of ideas that is in the watson technology. so you not only can talk to an , individual teacher or mentor or coach, but literally at 4:00 in the morning you can get a customized lesson of someone who has done that already. and that's why it starts with math in terms of third grade. and it's not judgmental and it's for free and it's going to be on a mobile app. as the teachers told you about in the video, we're really

excited about this. maura: we cast a big net because it was important to us that we gain the trust of the teachers. we also partner with a foundation, carnegie and foverment. this is a much bigger effort than the a.f.t. and the i.b.m. foundation. and we're destined to take this to other grade levels in mathematics. we'll ask teachers and we'll ask our advisory committee where we should go next with this technology. it's very exciting, but remember it's exciting because we have had such an interactive process of feedback. there are four basic experiences as they are called in the watson tool. teachers can go on and look at the standards. it's important you could be an

experienced teacher and know the standards well. you could be new to the grade level and not just want to read the standards, you want to know what it's about. you can come into it through a numbering system or concept. you can look for pre and post standards which is very important as you look at this differentiation for randi who is not getting fractions and maura who is talking trigonometry, only kidding. you move over to the customization feature which is very important to be able to pull in what you think will actually help you differentiate your instruction. you can search on simple tasks that might be student facing activities like a work sheet or fluency activity. or you help with teaching strategies. we have some videos tagged to the content. but will surface up some interesting topics like perhaps third grade multiplication or perhaps how to teach to diverse learners. the tool is going to continue to grow. what's important is the content has been very seriously cure -- curated. so teachers won't just go and do this random search. they will trust it as the place that has the very best content, their interest at heart. randi: maura's not wrong. so many of us learn math by memorizing equations and trying

to apply them. as if our brain was a memorization bank. so when you have a tool like this to help you figure out how to teach math by thinking it through, which is what we do right now, it's hugely important. and many of us are risk- adverse and don't want to actually show what we don't know. and so having this tool with other mentors is really important. i just want to end, we really want to end, you are the first people other than an article in "the new york times" that are

getting an introduction to watson. it is an integrated process. we're excited about t but the reason we're excited is because teachers all across the country right now as you are all sitting here are in their classrooms trying to figure out how they reach kids and how they help meet the needs of children. and what we're very appreciative in terms of ibm into the ibm they are not that telling us what to do. they are supporting what we do and the latitude we need to teach. so thank you very much for this process and term of what we have done in terms of watson. maura: thank you for your partnership. randi: thank you, everybody. >> secretary of health and human services, sylvia burwell, abc news chief white house correspondent, jonathan karl. [applause] mr. karl: start with the big news. you got $1.1 billion in zika funding. congress finally got around to passing funding for zika. [applause]

secretary burwell: very excited. mr. karl: the first question is, is it enough? you guys had said for a long time that $1.9 billion was absolutely essential to deal with this. is it enough? secretary burwell: we're happy to have the money we have. the additional money we asked for because it was important, part of that money would go towards replacing the money we had to take from ebola, which actually still is something we have to watch in west africa. but right now what we're excited to do is take this money and continue moving forward. on making sure that here in the united states, we are as prepared as we can be. helping states like florida who have local transmission. that means the mosquito is biting people. over 100 people have contracted the disease in florida. making sure we're working on a vaccine which i think we think is the most promising solution. we're making progress. we have one vaccine already in phase one trials. this week we announced work with corporate partners. another vaccine, it will take several to get it.

and third is making sure we're working on diagnostics. this money will help us with the research. there are a lot of unanswered questions about zika. in other words, as a pregnant woman if you get it in the third trimester does it still cause the damage? while we know microcephaly is clear. it causes that. we still do not know if there is other damage such as hearing, sight, or developmental issues that may occur for children who don't present with microcephaly when born. mr. karl: how far away are we in the best and worst case scenario? secretary burwell: in terms of the best case scenario, probably 18 months. that is if all goes well. mr. karl: i have seen recent reports that are really frightening about transmission and the virus is evolving. and it may be much more easily transmitted. secretary burwell: i think the question in terms of the transmission, i think most people don't realize in the

united states, including our territories, which is puerto rico mainly, 23,000 cases of zika. already. so here in the 50 states there are over 3,000 cases. and the other thing i think most people don't realize we already had 21 births in the 50 states and territories that are children that are born with microcephaly and test positive for zika. the negative outcome we're also fearful about we're already seeing. mr. karl: how dire can it get? secretary burwell: the question of transmission, two ways, through mosquitoes, and those are mosquitoes, two different mosquitoes, that exist mainly in southern states. but go up as far as -- there's some here in washington in terms of these mosquitoes and how far they go. it's also sexually transmitted which people forget. but i think the issue is what this is most dangerous for is pregnant women. people are of the

not symptomatic and that his act truly a problem because you could go and visit one of the 55 countries that actually have outbreaks right now. you come back and don't know that you have it. then the question of either you getting bitten by a mosquito or sexually transmitting it unknowingly. and that's why people who travel to these areas need to be careful for a period when they come back. mr. karl: most people watching congress go back and for the on this for months and months and months were horrified. you have this crisis, frightening, and congress unable to provide resources to deal with it. did that delay cause harm? did that set you back? secretary burwell: a number of things did. we had to make decisions that i think were not what i would like to make as far as decisions. the first was to take money from ebola. most people don't realize we have actually within the last two months had to send a team from our center for disease control and prevention back to west africa to make sure that we weren't going to have additional outbreaks.

and so taking care of ebola is important. the second thing we had to do, i did in august, because we expected it would be passed before and wasn't, i had to take money from the rest of the department and things like cancer research in order to keep the efforts going. because at this point there is local transmission in florida. we need to be able to provide the help. we have teams right now in florida that are teams that are helping florida determine the cases, the number of cases. assist florida in fighting the mosquito. and those are things that we couldn't stop. mr. karl: in hindsight did the white house make a mistake in not accepting the $1.1 billion that the senate passed months ago? secretary burwell: with regard to emergencies and that question, that was not a zika supplemental. that was a zika supplemental that had additional pieces and parts that were harmful to the issues, especially in this particular case. as you can imagine because it's sexually transmitted and because it's about pregnancy and women,

contraception is important. that was a lot of that conversation. i think we are pleased we are where we are now in we have been working to be ready to spend this money effectively and efficiently the affordable care act, this is your crunch time. open enrollment. getting ready to start. mr. karl: what's your goal? what are we at right now? how many are in the exchanges? how many do you expect? secretary burwell: i think they are talking about the goal of the affordable care act. the marketplace is a very important part of it. the overarching goal is what we focus on. creating access affordability and quality. access the 20 million uninsured, that's the number we set in our mind and the marketplace will be a contributor to that. mr. karl: big part in medicaid expansion. what do you expect with the exchanges? secretary burwell: we're going all out this year and our open enrollment. just this week we had a millennial summit so we're focusing on those young people to make sure they know affordable care and coverage is available.

that's an important group to reach. we're working with partners, new partners, and work with more digital partners than we ever worked with before. partners like lyft, the new economy partners to make sure we're reaching people where they are. the other thing is we know many of the people we want to reach use mobile. and so none of that none of that -- enlarging the font or things like that. working to create a product that people are going to want and make it easy for them to be able to access it. mr. karl: you have had some -- it's been a tough year in terms of the exchanges. you saw aetna pull out, united health care was in 34 states. now they are going to be in exchanges in three. humana is reducing. what is it? 30% of counties in this country? people are going to the exchanges will be facing a single plan to choose from. secretary burwell: i think, again, this comes to what is the

goal of health care in our nation? and when we think about health care in our nation, 150 million people, probably most of the people in this audience, have employer-based care. that's where the vast majority. another huge chunk of people are in medicare and medicaid. tens of millions. in the marketplace we're pleased with our 11.1 million. but that overall picture we learned just two weeks ago that in that market premium growth in that market we have seen five over the last six years have seen the lowest growth in premiums. in the employer-based market. we're focused on the overall health care. with regard to the marketplace specifically, most places have more competition than that. there is reduced competition this year, that's something we want to encourage more and more competition. that's why we're working hard to make sure we're attracting the people, working hard to respond to the insurance company's concerns about the marketplace. and go in together with them how to make sure we reach more people. the other thing is, a number of

players have actually expanded in the marketplace. arizona last week there were questions about a county, the company that went in actually in their press release said we look this will add to our profitability. it is a new market. different players are having different successes. what we want to do is work to make sure it's a place where as many as possible to do that. they are learning. it is a transition year. mr. karl: i covered the passage of the affordable care act in congress. there is a lot more than just the marketplace. but one of the big goals here was to slow the growth of health care costs. in the marketplaces it looks like -- it seems like it's a failure. premium increases. estimated at 11%. for this upcoming year a.m. that's if you're willing to shop and switch your plan. kind of the best case scenario. secretary burwell: thinking about the overall and what's happening, for those 150 million

people, we have had slower growth. we don't want growth at all. we need to work to put more downward pressure. for that 150 million slow growth. in medicare, medicare spending has been $473 billion, with a b, lower. in the marketplace itself. if the insurers had priced at cbo suggested and did all their estimates on, it was 15% higher. in the marketplace initially insurers basically underpriced for the markets they were trying to serve. and, that's not a criticism. they didn't have data. they didn't have information. but if you followed the line of where c.b.o., the basic growth from the c.b.o. premium to where we're now, are you about at the same point. so we probably wouldn't have this conversation if it started higher at the beginning. mr. karl: are you concerned about the possibility of the so-called death spiral? c.b.o.'s estimates also had much higher

target of people in the marketplace. higher target for the percentage that would be younger people. secretary burwell: with regard to that, one of the things -- this is one of the things about the affordable care act, c.b.o.'s estimates were based on the fact that you would see a large group of employer-based people coming to the marketplace. mr. karl: employers would be cutting -- secretary burwell: we haven't seen that. there are a number of things we haven't seen. the first thing was unemployment. we did not have death panels. we did not see unemployment rate go up in the nation. as a matter of fact we saw it go , down. that was the first thing. the second thing was we're going to see employers, what they said, dump into the marketplace. that's what caused the c.b.o. numbers to be what they were. that didn't happen. the third thing that everyone said we were going to see is everybody was going to increase their part-time employees

dramatically in order to -- to get below the numbers. and those were all things that we have not seen. thell say, confidence in marketplace but know that we have many things to do to make it better and stronger. so what we want whether it's next year, more competition coming in, i think we think it's a transition year with regard to that pricing based on what happened before. and so we know we have work to do. but i think the basic of your question, are we confident, yes. mr. karl: next question. we have an election going on. you probably have seen this. what happens to the affordable care act in the event of a donald trump presidency with a republican congress? a few reports, by the way, that you are working on trump-proofing the affordable care act. is this true? -- to make sure it can survive? secretary burwell: one of the constraints and requirements is

something called the hatch act. my ability to talk about elections, candidates, in any way, shape, or form in my official role can't do, won't do. let me answer the question any warm that i can, which is about the future of the affordable care act. in any scenario. the question you're asking is, can there be repeal? can we go back? the fundamental of this is, this is in the fabric of our nation. what do i mean by that? i think most people if we asked everybody, we just did it by phone and asked everybody, do you want pre-existing conditions to be able to keep you out of your health care, whether it's your family member, you know somebody who's had cancer, asthma, anything, do you want to go back to a world that can keep you out? i don't think people do. for the 20 million people now insured, i don't think we're going back in terms of having those people once again become uninsured. for the seniors who were suffering from something called the doughnut hole which had to do with their drug payments. there were 11 million of them that had saved $23 billion.

i do not think people want to go back. and, i don't think people want to go back to a world where you could have annual limits in your health care. i'm not a woman who delayed her chemotherapy before the affordable care act because she hit her limit. there are so many pieces and parts many people don't realize is a benefit. and so it's in the fabric at this point. mr. karl: walking through that. as you probably also noticed, congress a time or two has voted to repeal the affordable care act. [laughter] secretary burwell: i think we're over 40. mr. karl: if you have a republican congress again and you had a republican president who had campaigned on repealing the affordable care act, if they sign it for the 40 whatever number time, how do you prevent that? i mean, is it just not possible? or -- secretary burwell: what i think is when something becomes something that could be a reality, and let's look back at a time i'm not excited to reflect on but king versus

burwell, when there was a court case we felt confident about that obviously it was a court case. and so what happened at that , point in time when people thought, oh, my, this actually could help us. and the damage that it could cause. you know, what you're saying -- but the votes. i think everyone knows in the house. which is where these votes occurred. that the president is going to veto it. when you're faced with the reality, every district in the country has lowered their rate of uninsured. mr. karl: you think republicans would blink, if there were a republican president to sign repeal, that republicans would not go forward and fully repeal it again? secretary burwell: i'm not going to get into politics. what i am going to get into what is the point of view of the american people. and you can translate that, you're much more experienced than i am in translating that to the politics. what i will say i believe the american people will demand that the benefits and the changes

and the advances, we did not even mention preventive care. when i take our 6 and 8-year-old in for their annual visits, there's no additional payment. this is because we want a system that encourages preventive care. going back from those things i just think the nation would demand that that's not the place we're going to be. mr. karl: another story that's dominated in the recent months, this whole catastrophe surrounding the epipen, going from $100 to over $600. what happened? are you satisfied that that issue has been resolved? my -- they are increasing discounts, etc. watching from afar, can you see this product, company gaining a monopoly and then profiting off kids who have -- could be depending on this for their lives. secretary burwell: access to drugs and affordable access to drugs is one we think is a priority.

when i talk about affordability, access, and quality, we need to take steps as a nation to make sure we do that. one of the tools that i think would be most important that we have asked for, it does require legislation, is the ability for h.h.s. to actually negotiate. to negotiate on high cost and specialty. not all drugs. but just to negotiate in that space so we can use tools. we will use the tools we have. right now last year f.d.a. approved more generic drugs than it had in the history of f.d.a. right now f.d.a. wants to help people understand how to work through the generic process. you can get faster approvals if you are a first time generic. we use the tools we have. but one of the most important tools we could gain is an ability to negotiate. that we don't have right now. certainly these drugs are being paid for by medicaid or medicare. in certain cases.

so that's where we would have ability. mr. karl: i want to give you a chance. you have this incredible job. it's one of the most complicated jobs in the federal government. i have spent a fair amount of time thinking about the future of health care. there is so much, exciting happening. outside of the law and the all of that in terms of treatment, in terms of technology. what is the most that has got excited right now? secretary burwell: what has me most excited is we're on the path to putting the consumer at the center of their care. and that is both intervention and treatment and how we provide that. that's everything from how the system works. so that physicians are coordinating their care with a physical therapist, with others as we think about that care. to the use of prevention. to changing how we pay. so we don't pay for a fee for service. your doctors pay for your

wellness, your outcomes. of it works is that instead -- i will give you a specific example. we have put out mandatory bundles. you think about your hip or knee replacement. says, the person anesthesia is paid for, the surgeon, the physical therapist. in order to get them to work together for a single outcome, weekday, we will pay for the episode for 90 days from the point that person visits to her days of physical therapy. you pay for the outcome, is what that means. you will be paid for equality outcome.

in the united states, the variation in cost for hip and knee replacements and quality of outcomes is great. this is how we get to a place where we pay for the outcomes and the quality. thank you very much. unfortunately we are out of time.

>> next, donald trump speaks at a campaign rally in pueblo, colorado. during the event, he comments on his leaked 1995 tax returns. this is just under an hour. ♪ [cheers and applause] mr. trump: thank you very much. thank you. it is so great to be here in 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. but you have 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 eliminate the decline's -- defense sequester. 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] mr. trump: 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] mr. trump: there are a lot of people in this room. this is very impressive. a great honor. one other issue of great importance in colorado is energy. crooked hillary clinton wants to shut down the minds, shut down shale, shut down 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] mr. trump: i've also made centerpiece of my economic revitalization plan 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 your taxes very substantially. [booing] mr. trump: and she admits it. at least she admits it. that is because i know how overtaxed and overregulated the working people and companies 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 our trade deals, and bringing back jobs -- and they are sort of one and the same -- fixing our broken tax code is one of the main reasons i am running for 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 it. [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. almost no one understands it. the average american would need an army of accountants and through it.ade

many so-called 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. the unfairness of the tax laws is unbelievable, it is something i have been talking about for a being a time, despite big beneficiary of these laws. but i'm working for you now. trump. working for believe me. [cheers and applause] >> trump! trump! trump! trump! trump: i understand the tax laws better than almost anyone. which is i am one that can truly fix them. i understand it. i 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. [cheering] mr. trump: 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 pay enormous taxes. city taxes, state taxes, sales taxes, excise taxes, employee -- vat taxes.xes 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 our great providers of jobs and we have to help our small businesses. that's what it's all about. what it is 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 1990's

-- 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 absolute 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 -- lives 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] mr. trump: i would have loved to use that card, but i just didn't want to do it. thank you. yet, 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. and we employ thousands of people and 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. a lot of talent. i was able to use the tax laws of this country and my business acumen 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] mr. trump: 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? [cheers and applause] 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 bernie? the founder of home depot. go to home depot.

the only created about hundreds of thousands. how many jobs as home depot produced now, bernie? millions? millions? bernie. that is a lot of jobs. man, anduy, a great unbelievable entrepreneur, and somebody that put a lot of people to work. home depot is a terrific company. thank you for being here, 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 produced them. then she became secretary of state. and now she and her husband have made over $200 million, without building a company or creating a

single thing of value. [booing] during the early 1990's, as companies were collapsing all over the place, left and right, the media and that be -- powers that be said, "donald trump, he can 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

gave up or even thought about giving up. [cheers and applause] mr. trump: 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. honestly, 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, don't worry about it. 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 and vote, you have to get out and 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 damn bit of difference. get up and vote. [cheers and applause]

the reason i never felt in danger, the reason i never felt endangered 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 was fight. that is what i am, a fighter. i'm now 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 talked. scum good periods, tough good periods, had

tough periods, 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. to go into public life. if you would have ever told me i was going to be doing this. known i was going to be doing this, i would have commenced with certain interviews. i would have said things slightly differently. and i would not have had as good a time in life. and not as much fun in life, but it would have made my life as a politician little bit easier. you know, these people, holier than thou, they never said

anything around the breakfast room table, do they? they never do. bill and hillary never say anything like this. can you imagine what they say? well, they talked about deplorables and irredeemables. [cheering] deplorable,ou are you are irredeemable. i think that irredeemable might be worse. everyone talks about deplorable? these are the greatest people in this room. and many other rooms like it. we have seen hundreds of thousands of people. these are the greatest people. really, importantly, we are going to make a great for all the people. it is not my people or people voting for me, we are to make a great for all the people. [cheers and applause] mr. trump: 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.

[cheering] >> trump! trump! trump! 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. that is a beautiful commission.

let's see what happens on sunday again. [cheers and applause] mr. trump: my biggest opponent was the microphone. and now our country is in need of a major comeback. it 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 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. why should we be losing money? [cheers and applause] mr. trump: but think of it, with all of the money that we spend, and with $20 trillion in debt, all of the things we do, all the talk and the political nonsense, we have a decaying infrastructure, failing schools, rising crime. we have a depleted military of great people. we have planes that are so old, they go to airplane graveyards for parts. 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. we are going to build the wall. [cheering] mr. trump: we're going to build the wall. we are going to build the 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] mr. trump: 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] mr. trump: 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 american people. because 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] mr. trump: 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? "the wall street journal," "the goingrk times," they are crazy. now they are asking, can we ever get rid of this guy? they were thrilled to write these negative stories. they said i was finished. the only person who did not think i was in trouble was donald j. trump. i did not think i was in trouble. i sort of did not know what they were talking about. does that make sense? with aed my company

small loan, and as a group, i borrowed money to growth the company. when the bottom fell out in the real estate market, i had this large amount of debt. the value of the assets plummeted. i was young, and i learned. i worked really hard. i knew how to use the tax code to build my company, when others to the. i learned how to understand the bankers and how to deal with them. i learned a lot. my understanding of the tax code gave me a tremendous advantage over others who had no clue about it, including my whoarators -- competitors, were never to be heard from again. now, they are gone. i am here. i'm ready to turn this around for our country. [applause]

mr. trump: the early 1990's were a tough time for the world. in tough times, you need very tough and very smart people. these are tough times for america. i will tell you, we need very tough and very smart leadership. 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 back into the white house again. [applause] mr. trump: these tough times were when i performed my very best. the economy and banks, they collapsed, the government was a mess. i enjoyed waking up every day to

go to battle. that is what it was. for three years. there was an early expression in the 1990's, survive until 1990 5. i enjoy getting up every day to take on the financial in.ablishment and w that is what we did. until thisinning day. all you have to do is ask all of the 17 people we competed against. you will ask them, how did trump do? they will say, he won. [applause] trump: that is the thinking we need for our country, that is the thinking we need when we are negotiating trade deals, which are horrible. and economic deals health. negotiatingt people

great deals for us. we have the greatest negotiators in the world and we use dealscal hacks to get our . anymore. put me into the boardroom with your representatives, and i will deliver. hillary clinton is in the only for herself. i am fighting for america. [applause] mr. trump: many people have said over the years that i perform better under pressure than anyone i've ever -- 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. it's 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 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 will very -- she's got a very weak voice, so you can let him stay. but just be good, sir. be nice. 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. him 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.

here's a man, whether you like him or not, that's a smart cookie, a tough cookie, and he has done a 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. really, i am honored by. 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 students into the failed us. she doesn't want to have choice and she doesn't want to end common course 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 obama care and wants to expand it. and obama care 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. 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. and it turned out to be alive. she called it the gold standard, and she will approve it if she

gets in. 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. they gave 39 speeches to be thanks, including $2 million in speaking fees from goldman sachs.

the clintons received another $2 million from us with bank after hillary negotiated a favorable settlement for them as secretary of state. [yelling] 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. in so many ways, it is worse than watergate. the investigation of hillary clinton was rick and it's a shame, and it's one of the saddest inks that have ever taken place in our nation, believe me, what has gone on. we have become a banana republic. 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 can rub it -- 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 h ell out, 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 league -- illegal immigrant who should never have been here. or killed by an immigrant released at the border by president obama and then leased 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 crashing to enhance. we also have to keep our country safe from terrorism. the terrorists who planted the bonds in new york and new jersey and who carried out the mall stabbing in minnesota, you all saw that, were foreign nationals admitted into our country, as was the mall shooter in washington. or look at cases like the boston bombers, or the san bernardino shootings, here on a fiancee visa from saudi arabia. killed 14 people that gave him -- gave them a baby shower or

short while before, and she killed them. not only killed them, but many, many horribly wounded to this day. or the orlando shooting, the son of a taliban supporter from afghanistan. terrorists are infiltrating our country. now, hillary clinton once a 550% increase in syrian refugees and countless more refugees from across the middle east. i want to keep your family safe.

my job is not to represent foreign countries. my job is to represent the citizens of the united states of america. putting your jobs, your wages, and your security first area america first, remember that. america first. you are living in the united states today as a lawful resident, or u.s. citizen. i will ensure you have a safe community, rising wages, and secure immigration system, which is what we want. immigration security is national security. very important. it's national security. here are some of the things we

will do, starting in 2017. we are going to lower your taxes substantially. she is going to raise your taxes. we are going to eliminate every unnecessary regulation. we are going to repeal and replace job killing obamacare. we will make childcare affordable. we are going to say your second amendment, which is under siege. and i have the endorsement of the nra, very early on, great people. we are going to support the men and women of law enforcement. and we are going to appoint justices to the supreme court of the united states who will uphold and defend our constitution. we are going to finally rebuild america. we are going to revitalize america. we are going to unite america. we are going to come together as a people. imagine what our country can

accomplish if we started working together as one people, under one god, saluting one american flag. [chanting "usa"] mr. trump: together we will make america wealthy again. we will make america strong again. we will make america safe again, and we will make america, like your cap, we will make america great again. thank you, everybody. god bless you. god bless you. thank you. thank you. >> i am hillary clinton and i approved this message.

you work hard, you pay your taxes, white and donald trump pay his? he is worth $10 billion, but a new report shows he may not have paid any taxes for 10 years. if he thinks that makes him smart, what does that make you? >> the most important job any woman can have is being a mother. it should not take a pay cut. i am ivanka trump. my father will change outdated labor laws to support women and families. forill provide tax cuts child care. this will allow women to support their families and further their careers. >> i am donald trump and i approve this message. >> doll trunk campaigns in

prescott valley, arizona today. we will have live coverage of his remarks on c-span two. >> following an invitation from the united states, the organization for security and cooperation in europe will discuss preparations for the november toy 16 general election. see it live today at 2:00 eastern on c-span 3. >> "first ladies" is the name of the book, present a history that on the lives of iconic american women. what is this? >> it is a book that grew out of television,n influence and image. we took that and put it into .arrative form

each chapter has a biography, including their time as first lady lady. some had more influence, some have less influence. >> was it easy to find records? >> some were easy. adams, there were lots of records lobbying him on slavery. martha washington burns all of her records. you go from one extreme to another. the farther along in time, you see the adaptation of technology and the role of first ladies role emerges as well. now, they have a very public role. before, they could kind of get behind the scenes.

>> a former first lady is running for president. woma hillarypter on first clinton, you read that chapter, and you know right away, she is the most famous woman in the world. when she is on the campaign trail in 1992, when things are getting rough -- things i think have not happen, it shows a very jazzy first lady back in 1992. >> what to do learned from working on the book? >> my favorite stories are the know before.id not lucy hayes, she is very head of her time.

like aoolidge is almost rock star in her time. she is opposite of calvin coolidge. you learn even about modern first ladies. lady bird johnson -- all first ladies go back to her as a role model. she is one of the first two takes on causes. eleanor roosevelt, but then there is a little bit of a break take on a cause. lady bird johnson takes on this cause of beautification. it is really environmentalism. take a role.o >> what is the role of richard norton smith? >> a great friend of ours, his idea for the series. he is a guest on the martha washington program, the betty ford program. somekes the point that first ladies have more of an
