tv Key Capitol Hill Hearings CSPAN October 21, 2016 12:04am-12:20am EDT
12:04 am
republicans to fund everglades restoration. he knows how to get things done. not just think about what you are going to do next. as your next senator he will fight for this planet for future generations. you deserve leaders who show up to work, who do their homework, who will care more about you than about just hanging on to their jobs. who will have your back, that is who hillary clinton is, that is who patrick murphy is. they will always be there for you and that is why you have got to be there for him starting monday. [cheering and applause] in contrast you have donald trump. [booing] don't boo, vote!
12:05 am
booing doesn't do any good. so and get your friends to vote. get uncle joe to vote. .et cookie to vote get javier to vote. trump can't hear you from here. he can hear you when you go to the ballot box and vote. [cheering] pres. obama: i know donald trump hangs around here in florida, i don't think he represents the values of florida. here's a guy who repeatedly stiffs small business owners and workers who have done work for him. he thinks that is smart, just don't pay them and let them try to sue. here is a guy who doesn't release his tax returns.
12:06 am
first presidential candidate in decades who will not release his tax returns. it is either because he is not as rich as he says he is, or as he admits he hasn't paid federal income taxes in years. he said that is smart. he thinks you are suckers for doing what you are supposed to do. all that means is unlike the rest of us, despite everything that america has given to him, he does not feel obliged to give back a single dime to help our troops or veterans or to make sure that young people get help going to college. he keeps on talking about
12:07 am
wanting to make america great. if people who are bullied there was -- avoid their responsibility they create problems in america. he is part of the problem, not the solution. if you believe that i guy who -- that a guy who spent 70 years on the earth showing no regard for working people is suddenly going to be the champion of working people, i guess that's your guy. but if you want leaders who value hard work, respect working americans who want higher wages and better benefits and a fair tax code, who want equal pay for equal work for women, then you should vote for hillary clinton and vote for patrick murphy. [cheering and applause] pres. obama: if you want somebody who will keep your family safe in a dangerous world than the choice is even clearer. hillary will see to it that our troops finish the job of
12:08 am
defeating isil. they are going after them right now as we speak. she will do it without resorting to torture or banning religions from our country. she has the temperament and the knowledge, a steady hand to be the next commander in chief. meanwhile, you have donald trump insulting pow's, at tacking a gold star mother, talking down our troops and veterans, praising dictators, telling our allies we might not stand by them if they don't pay up. i agree with a u.s. senator, a republican, who said a while back we cannot afford to give the nuclear codes to an erratic individual. you know who said that? marco rubio. he also called donald trump a
12:09 am
dangerous con artist who has spent a career sticking it to working people. you want me to say it again? said this was a dangerous con artist who spent a lifetime and a career sticking it to working people. now, that takes the question since we are in florida. why does marco rubio still plan to vote for donald trump. why is he supporting donald trump? we know -- look, i know a lot of republican voters are just ordinary folks, neighbors and friends. most of them don't think the way that donald trump does. there are legitimate differences between the parties. there has to be a point that you have to stand for something more than party, more than just your own career.
12:10 am
here is the thing. donald trump did not come out of nowhere. for years, republican politicians and far right media -- justhave just then been pumping out all kinds of toxic crazy stuff. first of all there was the "birther" thing. then said climate change was a chinese hoax. according to them i am powerful enough to cause these hurricanes and i am about to steal everybody's guns in the middle of the night and declare martial law. but somehow i need a teleprompter to finish a sentence. they have been saying crazy stuff. there are a lot of politicians like marco rubio who know better
12:11 am
, but they look the other way. they figure, if we can stir folks up and think that barack obama or hillary or others are doing these terrible things we are saying they're doing, that will help us get the votes. we will just oppose anything they are trying to do and maybe we will he end up having more power in washington. they stood by and said nothing, even though they knew better. while their base started believing some of this stuff. i say this because donald trump did not start this. he just slapped his name on it and took credit for it and promoted the heck out of it. [cheering and applause] pres. obama: over the last
12:12 am
couple of weeks after those videos came out on the bus, there were a number of republican politicians who walked away from donald trump. apparently, a tape where a presidential candidate rags about actions that if you hear what he is saying qualify as sexual assault, apparently that was the deal breaker for them. at least his poll numbers dropping after the tape came out was the dealbreaker. did you hear him try to run away from comments on the recording and the audience started laughing when he said i really respect women. did you see that? here's my question. why would it take this long for
12:13 am
republican senators and republican congressmen and governors and state reps, why would it take this long to figure out that donald trump shouldn't be president? if you have made a career of idolizing ronald reagan, then where were you when your party's nominee for president was kissing up to vladimir putin, the former kgb officer? [crowd noise] pres. obama: you used to criticize me for even talking to the russians, now suddenly you are ok with your nominee having bromance with putin. [cheering and applause]
12:14 am
if you come from a family of immigrants, like almost everybody who does unless you are native american, where were you when your party's nominee for president called immigrants criminals and rapists? if you say you love the constitution, you say obama is over reaching it, he has been violating the constitution and should be impeached. but then you stand up and nominate and support a guy who says that he would silence reporters, jail his political opponent in the middle of a debate, deport whoever he wants, i assume you have some familiarity with the first amendment, the fifth amendment, the 14th amendment?
12:15 am
why watch you offering them your pocket constitution like mr. khan did? if you are republican official or leader of their and you have run for office on family values, why wouldn't you walk away from him months ago when you heard your nominee for president called women pigs and dogs and slobs, and grade them not for their character or intellect but on a scale of one to 10. you don't have to be a husband or a father to stand up for women. you don't have to have a disability to say it is wrong to mock somebody with a disability. you don't have to be a muslim to stand up for fellow citizens who are just as patriotic as we are. you just have to be a decent person and love this country.
12:16 am
[cheering and applause] pres. obama: i don't give a lot of credit to folks who are just now trying to walk away from donald trump. i will say i am even more confused by republican politicians who still support donald trump. marco rubio is one of those people. how does that work? how can you call him a con artist and dangerous and object to all of the controversial things he says and then say but i am still going to vote for him? come on, man. [laughter] pres. obama: come on, man.
12:17 am
you know what that is? it is the height of cynicism. somebody whon of will say anything, do anything, pretend to be anybody just to get elected. and you know what? if you are willing to be anybody just to be somebody, then you don't have the leadership that florida needs in the united states senate. that's not the leadership that you need. -- the leadership you need. that's why you have to vote for after murphy. that's why you have got to vote for hillary clinton. you have to start voting early on monday. there is only one way we lose this election. if we don't turn out to vote. the only way.
12:18 am
we got to do it big. we have to leave no doubt. donald is already whining, saying the vote is going to be rigged before the game is even over. today he said it's not rigged if i win. i will say, all the republicans -- not all but most, have acknowledged there is no way to rig an election in a country this big. i don't know if donald trump has actually been to a polling place where you have democrats and republicans who are in charge of taking the votes. he doesn't even worry about what he says is true.
12:19 am
this is about him worried that he is losing. which means he really doesn't have what it takes to hold this job. there is a lot of time in this job where things do not go your way. when you suggest -- i made this point before. this is more than the usual , standard life. -- standard lie. when you are used to just rigging or fraud without a shred of evidence, when last night at the debate donald trump becomes the first major party nominee and american history to suggest that he will not concede, despite losing the vote and then says today, that he will accept
