children -- those are all good things. it required that women pay the same price for policies as men. i do not want to eliminate any of that. but we have to take it to the next step. the answer is not just to turn it all over to this free market insurance company that is so costly administratively. so many of our health care dollars get wasted. mr. mills: if i may have a quick rebuttal. just because you have insurance does not mean you have care. co-pay deductibles have gone up to the point where working families can no longer bring kids to the doctor when they get sick. because it is so expensive, you can't afford to use it even if you have insurance. we have athing is,

system, obamacare, that is inherently broken, but we had systems that worked before. one of the things as far as pre-existing conditions are concerned, for the last 20 years we had something called hit the -- hippa. if you had a pre-existing condition, you can go from one policy to another without worrying. the democrats want to ignore that the law ever existed. thanks to obama care, the state -- if you hit a lifetime max, or if you truly had a pre-existing condition that was not covered, we had a social safety net to cover this people. that is what we should be social on, good, solid, safety net, not huge government takeovers. rep. nolan: you are talking about people who already had insurance. there are millions of people with pre-existing conditions that could not get insurance. that is a fact. there are other things we could

do. medicare negotiates for pharmaceutical crisis -- prices. think the federal government should, have the authority to negotiate most of the rest of the world does it. we don't get $600 at the pens -- epipens, or thousands of dollar increases. there are lots of things we can do. every time republicans bring up the affordable care act, never once do they bring it up under an open rule where anyone can offer ideas and suggestions for improvements. >> and we are about to wrap up. quickly, and want to ask each of you to give you -- your response. if elected, or reelected, what will you do in washington dc to work on bipartisanship and get things done? rep. nolan: the university of virginia and vanderbilt did a study. they took amendments that had been introduced, bills that became law, and found my work was the most effective in the minnesota congressional

delegation, second-most effective in all 188 democrats in congress, and one of the 10 most respected in congress. i'm the minority. i have had republican printers.i did that with good , strong, common sense solutions, with common problems week face, with good republican bipartisan support. i am as good or better than anyone in the country at pulling together bipartisan support for good, common sense legislation. >> mr. mills, how would you work on bipartisanship? mr. mills: i was just in grand rapids meeting with union members. they depend on livelihoods in iron range.they are upset with congress. he talks about his effectiveness, but they were telling me how ineffective they are. when he was first elected, he went on tv and called for bans on semi automatic rifles, and having the government tell us how many bullets to have, rather than fixing a broken trade

system. it was only after these people had lost their jobs, their livelihoods, that congressman nolan stepped up in an election-year stunt to bring in denis mcdonough, which was too little, too late. people are frustrated all over minnesota. what i would do in washington dc is find people who are willing to participate in small groups that are going to generate ideas, and have those ideas form larger groups, and get legislation done. nobody gets anything done on their own, certainly not in congress. what we need to do is have small groups come together, start fixing problems, and have ideas snowball. rep. nolan: the cd -- ceo and the largest iron company, who is said the dayter, denis mcdonough came to the range changed everything. you may call it a dog and pony show, but to the thousands of miners went back to work, it was no-show. mr. mills: but thousands more have been laid off since.

rep. nolan: they have not been laid off since. they were laid off before, and we are making progress, and we will have them all back to work before we get done. mr. mills: it was too little too late. rep. nolan: as soon as the crises emerged, i went to work on it. i testified before the international trade commission. people came in testified before denis mcdonough.they were all business leaders, community leaders. i did not see you there at any of them. i've been there, i've gotten the job done, i've gotten 1000 people back. mr. mills: in the meeting yesterday, they tell me you have not done the job. >> we have to leave it here. we're out of time. i thank you both for your time. we have given the voters elected think about. there's more to discuss, and i'm sure they can go to your website. thank you both for joining us. tonight at 10:00, you will see results from the survey usc -- usa poll for the eighth district.

>> democrats redrew his districts, hoping they could wrestle it away, but republican mike coffman proved a tougher match than they thought, defeating to democratic challenger since then in his district including aurora and the area around it. last time, he easily won by nine points. now, state senator morgan carroll hopes to do with her fellow democrats would not. her allies are attacking mr. kaufman, tying him to donald trump. but kaufman has tried to take a tough stance on trump. recently, he called for the presidential nominee to quit the race. right now, they go head to head in a race that could decide which party controls the house. >> this is decision 2016, the race for congress. now, your hosts. clark, andnchor kyle nine news political reporter rittiman.

>> there's no studio audience for tonight's debate, so no need to worry about introductions. >> we alone shows the questions. they have not been shared with the candidates. each candidate will have 40 seconds for each cap -- question. everyone who is watching at home right now on channel 20 on nine news.com can weigh in on the issues as they are being discussed. there will be live polling on the bottom of your screen. >> the first is happening right now. you can weigh in on immigration as we continue our conversation. again, that is nine news.com/vote. kyle, you have the first question. week, you told us people to enter the united states illegally or remain here illegally, have not done anything wrong. the law obviously disagrees. do you stand by that? rep. carroll: what i stand by as i said the reason people come

here is not wrong. it is the same reason my family came here and other people dead, for a better life, for religious freedom, and opportunity in the country. the process is itself broken. >> what you actually said is that they had done nothing wrong. the question is, does that not then confirm what your critics would say, is that you don't respect the rule of law? rep. carroll: sometimes the law is unjust. that was true during jim crow. that is true when we had a broken immigration system. we must uphold the rule of law, but the bigger and more important moral imperative from my perspective is to make sure that the law is just, it is right, humane, and not hurting families. immigrant rights to me are human rights and the law is part of the problem. >> thank you. congressman kaufman, you have done a lot to reach out to the immigrant populations, you even learn spanish. but immigrants have a good idea of the different visions the two major parties have for

immigration reform. senator carol's party is promoting policies so people can obtain legal status. your party uses amnesty as a dirty word. why should the voters touched by this issue believe you will be the more compassionate candidate? in. coffman: the left congress is wrong. they say we either have to have everything, or nothing will get wrong, and it has to be in one bill for everybody. on my side of the aisle, they saying, wes well, by want to secure the border and a step-by-step progress. i don't see them taking the first step. both parties have to come together and compromise. i think immigration reform has to be about securing borders, having policies that help grow the economy, and the compassionate about keeping families together. >> what have you personally done to crack through that dynamic? rep. coffman: i think after getting the new districts, going

out and meeting families i have , sympathy for the children. not the adults that knowingly broke the law, but the children who were taken here when they were very young. went to school here. sometimes, they don't know any other country besides the united states. i do think we should treat them differently, and i put legislation forward this summer that would give them legalized status to give them a path to citizenship, based on their work history, based on their education, or military service. >> thank you. anotherman coffman, question. from your military career, to your votes against republican party leadership, your personal courage has figured prominently in this story you tell to voters. i'm curious. do you feel you displayed personal courage and your handling of donald trump, by refusing to commit one way or another, and only a bending in -- abandoning him when other

republicans did? rep. coffman: first of all, i was the first to put out an advertisement separating myself and donald trump. and then, after the video, i was the first member of congress to ask donald trump to step aside. i have been consistent on my positions regarding donald trump. i think it is tragic. i think both parties have lousy candidates, quite frankly. i think the difference is i'm willing to take on donald trump. but morgan carroll is not willing to take on hillary clinton. she was silent during the e-mail scandal. silent when hillary clinton is giving speeches to wall street executives. >> congressman, thank you. that is your time. rathertor carol, it is unusual for a congressperson to own partyir oh -- nomination for president, and

not all gop members have done the same. you could say that he got there late but he did take his stance before ballots were mailed out to voters in colorado. do you really think donald trump is dangerous? should you embrace a republican like mr. coffman? rep. carroll: is too little too late. what we saw was dangerous and donald trump was obvious and repeated, and overt, a longtime beforehand. what we are seeing is political expedience. donald trump is tanking in the polls. if he was up in the polls, we would see a different reaction. the moral case was there against him when he first called immigrants rate this, when he called women takes, when he went after muslim americans and gold star family's.what changed is , they went after him legally too late, so it is just symbolic, and an act of self-preservation more than political courage. rep. coffman: it was not legally too late. countrylways put my first. i'm not a republican first. i am a marine corps combat veteran first.

i was an elected official. i took an unpaid absence for the first gulf war. came back, saw how the first bush administration treated gulf war veterans, and publicly challenged that administration. i criticized george w. bush about the iraq war, even though i did volunteer to go and resolved -- resigned from the office of state treasurer, not because i believed the war was right, but because we had to bring it to a just conclusion.i split with my party for funding for the veterans hospital. i have a record standing up to my party and putting the country first, but morgan carroll has no record. >> you told us earlier you did not seen a correction -- connection between donald trump and the american political scene promoting the lie about president obama's birth. do you think it is not the same lie he was promoting? rep. coffman: that was a statementrep. coffman: made one time.

i said it once in public. i was wrong for making the statement. i said so. to somehow infer it had any influence on donald trump is ridiculous. >> do you see any issue with republicans like you criticizing hillary clinton, it was leaked she believes in the idea of having one public press-ish private position, and you saying discount what i said about president obama? rep. coffman: it was a mistake i made four years ago and i knew it was a mistake. >> thank you. >> senator carol, you think hillary clinton is trustworthy. why do you think so many democrats who chose bernie sanders think she cannot be trusted? rep. carroll: i think we have a big test in the democratic party. people have different parts of the platform they like to see going forward. we have had eight years under a very strong personality with obama, and what i've seen is a remarkable showing of unity, following what could have been a very tough and divisive primary. in fact bernie sanders and

, elizabeth getting outout here the vote for hillary clinton. i think we have a lot of passionate folks that would like passionate folks that would like to make sure that we are seeing campaign-finance control, and -- finance reform, climate change, and when we saw them work together to get a new platform putting people first, we saw a lot of the party come together. >> right now, as we continue the conversation, you can weigh in on our website. tell us how you are making your decision in the race, while we continue to talk about this. a lot of people are dissatisfied , with both of the top two choices in the residential race. what, if anything, needs to change about how the parties take their nominee? rep. coffman: both parties need to reflect on how we got to this position. but the vote that we will make, whoever is elected to be the representative of this district, the first vote we will cast will be either for nancy pelosi or paul ryan.

i will vote for paul ryan. nancy pelosi, when she was eager of the house, she crammed obamacare through without a single republican vote. now we are seeing 20%-40% increases in the insurance exchange for colorado. she said we will know what is in in after it passes. the american people know what is in it, and it is wrong. i morgan carroll will be there to vote for nancy pelosi. >> any changes to the primary process? rep. coffman: i think it needs to be longer. there needs to be more of a vetting process. i think i felt the process was too long in 2012, so they shortened it. i think it was worse. carol, same question. anything the parties need to do to change how this looks? rep. carroll: i think both parties need to be honest about the fact that they need to reinvent themselves. are seeing the collapse in some ways of the two-party system, and part of that is, most of the people registering

are unaffiliated. they need to be more democratic, where it is easier for ordinary people to feel like they have a say so, not people who have been self-declared, but in recruitment and training and feeling like there's more of a say in who your candidates are. i think it would be healthy for both parties to do a better job of reaching out to the rank and file and grassroots earlier in this stage of picking candidates, so people are happy about picking choices. >> we told the candidates they could ask questions of each other. we will do that now. rep. carroll: my question for congressman coffman is, do you accept any responsibility for the va boondoggle with the billion-dollar overrun in three years, or is it simply everyone else's? i took it over in january 2013. i dropped out of the natural resources committee and

transferred to the veterans committee to provide oversight. there was a gao report in april 2013 that said that it was hundreds of millions of dollars over budget. years behind schedule. i put forward legislation to strip the va. now the army corps of engineers has taken over that facility. the va refuses to turn over the report. rep. carroll: that's everybody else. do you take responsibility? son'soffman: i take her ability for exercising leadership. we would not be where we are today in terms of having the army corps of engineers take over the project. they are doing everything they can to trim costs without my leadership. >> congressman coffman, it is your turn. rep. coffman: in 2009, you took a vote after representing the hispanic community for four years. the children that wanted an

education, higher education, who were often working, you voted against them, against the dream act. do you regret that vote? rep. carroll: the dream act we passed in colorado passed under my leadership as majority. like other bills, sometimes it takes more than one year to get there. unlike you and your obstructionist congress, we got it done and got it passed. where is your bill? rep. coffman: 2009 a did not past -- past. rep. carroll: but it is lot today because of me and my allies. on your part, you have nothing to show for your time in office. rep. coffman: it was delayed for two years because of your lack of leadership. >> let's try a bipartisan pelicans are. [laughter] leaders pledged to be in bipartisanship. i would like you each to name a legislative accomplishment of the other that you respect and you would have been happy to support. congressman coffman, first to

you. and a compass minerals your opponent that you respect. that youomplishment respect in your opponent. rep. coffman: i don't know one. >> ok. l.nator carrol seconds,ntitled to 40 but if it's a no answer, it is no. rep. carroll: i think congress managed to do to bipartisan things this session. one was in criminal justice reform. another was changes to no child left behind. while i can't say that singularly congressman coffman had an effect, i was happy to see bipartisan work. unfortunately, things like the bipartisan transportation bill, we did not have representative coffman's support. those are two examples standing frankly,contrast, and

they have not been getting anything done. >> we might have included that one in the short round, but we do have short answer questions for you. the first is have you ever done government business through a personal e-mail? because wel: yes, don't get government either -- e-mails. they are not separate accounts. >> congressman coffman? rep. coffman: sure. in congress, we don't have classified information. >> understood to general question. --. coffman: there are times i have my iphone with me, and somebody e-mails me something from their account to my account, and i e-mailed them back. but never classified information. >> not apples to apples, we were just curious, since both of you have held elected office. congressman coffman, based on the claims he has made, do you

believe donald trump is a sexual predator? rep. coffman: i don't know. i do know this. i have worked hard as a member of the armed services committee on a bipartisan basis to work on preventing sexual assaults. >> this is short answer, but thank you. senator carol, do you believe he is a sexual predator? rep. carroll: yes. the definition of grabbing people without consent is the definition of sexual assault and harassment. his words, not mine. >> thank you. do you support the statewide ballot initiatives to move to a primary system opening to independent voters? rep. carroll: i support leading to a primary system. i have problems and oppose both measures because of details and how they are written. an efficient -- unaffiliated voters can go now, but it elevates enhanced rights for on affiliates. >> same question for you. do you split the measures? rep. coffman: i do.

i think the presidential primary, i support. the other one, i don't feel comfortable with. sayink people should congressional or stay elected office. >> congressman coffman, can you name a democrat and house that you deeply respect? rep. coffman: quite a few. jackie steers from the state of california on the armed services committee, who i have worked with. tim walz from the state of minnesota. we worked jointly on mental health for veterans. he is retired military as well. >> thank you. caroll, republican in the house that you respect. rep. carroll: republicans in congress over all would include for me a little bit of bob dole and john mccain. >> ok. >> this is also talking about

the way congress and the government functions. your win ine hoping the six congressional colorado would be part of a nationwide wave that would give a majority in the u.s. house, coupled with a senate majority and president clinton, with her first supreme george -- court justice, there would be liberal control. the last time america saw that in one-party control, that was jimmy carter's administration. is that good for america? rep. carroll: i think having a mix that reflects the country as a whole is good for america. what we have while seen in contrast is just obstruction. the two things we need to balance is that there can be problems with one party controlled. what we see right now is nothing more dedicated than trying to ct presidentobstru

obama at every step, so the american people lose under a gridlock system. whether you are divided or unified on one-party control, the only way that works is if everyone's job in mission is to go advocate and represent the people in their community. which will have different views than they do on a lot of different issues. otherwise, you've either got one party railroading, or complete paralysis and obstruction like now in congress. >> thank you. hundred and coffman, you voted several times to repeal obamacare. but with all the problems you .2, it has helped people get coverage who could not get it before. how do you explain those votes you have taken on repealing, to a person who got coverage because of the law? rep. coffman: most of the people were helped under the medical exchange -- medicare exchange. -- medicaid expansion. i think it has hurt people. let us talk about the consumer protections. a lot of them already existed in colorado law.

pre-existing conditions. portability. in blocking the ability of an insurance carrier to discriminate based on gender. i think we still need to reform our health care system. obamacare has not done what it promised to do. we are looking at 20%-40% increases in colorado and the -- in the insurance exchange. it is punitive to middle-class families. >> a good segue. senator caroll, you are on record against colorado care. you think we will need a public option or universal coverage? what is the solution to the what is the solution to those price hikes? rep. carroll: no question, people are paying too much for too little health care. i support a public option. i think health care is a right. people should have the right to access to affordable health care. option,dding the public we had to on drug prices through

medicare. we need to rethink the antitrust laws so we don't have to go bankrupting families and small businesses. congress has a role to make sure that we are not getting price gouged and people are not getting sick and bankrupt. >> senator carroll, another question. you are committed to publicly voting for nancy pelosi for speaker. is there any part of the agenda firm hillary clinton aren't nancy pelosi that you cannot vote for? rep. carroll: i think the piece that needs to be addressed is within the universal background check bill, where we are looking at also making sure we are adding the terror watch list. there are concerns about who is on the list. is it current? is it accurate? is there due process to challenge if you don't belong on their?it needs to be two-step. adding that when it is not a

perfect database is not the solution we are looking for. >> so a vote on universal back on checks and terror watchlist, vote?uld be a no rep. carroll: i would support a universal background check list, but we need to clean up terror watchlist on process before that is in, and before we know we are screening the correct people. >> thank you. a recent poll in colorado found 59% of trump voters they might not vote for a republican that has come at against donald trump. you tried to position yourself as a check on hillary clinton. why should those voters care about that, when they feel like you are handing the presidency to hillary clinton? rep. coffman: i know people are upset, god bless them, but i cannot bring myself to vote for donald trump. the fact is, i believe at the end of the day, they will look at who they want as the speaker of the house. do they want to return to what morgan carroll would call the good old days where you have hillary clinton in the white potentially -- in the white house, a potentially

democratically controlled senate, and they cram things through without a single republican vote, and there are no checks and balances on the white house? at the end of the day, i will secure the votes. senator carroll, you said you don't support restrictions on a woman's right to abortion at any point during her pregnancy. there are a lot of rights that are subject to restrictions. which other rights other than abortion do you believe are absolute? think thell: well, i rights you have to do process, equal protection under the law against cruel and unusual punishment. to me, it is partly the constitution and partly a moral question. i don't think any third party or government has a right to force anything on a woman or her body without her consent ever. that is a moral position as well as a constitutional one for me. >> thank you. for you congressman coffman.

you told us earlier this week that we need to move to a system of tough immigration enforcement. you said to me, ", if you are here illegally, you are going to be deported." that sounds a lot less like you in recent years, and a lot like donald trump's mass deportation plan. rep. coffman: i think that is the system we ought to move through. but the fact is, we have had defective amnesty to some in this country a long time. facto amnesty to some in this country for a long time. there are people that have been in this country for a long time that have not violated any laws other than the immigration laws. obviously, i have stated before what i feel about the young people taken here, not about their own choosing. for the adults that knowingly broke the law, i think they should have the opportunity to come out of the shadows and have a legalized status. whether it is 90 days or 180 days to come out of the shadows, but i would like to see us move to a tougher system. we have to get control of the

borders. right now -- >> thank you. thank you. >> we have done pretty well on time. we have time to ask each other one more question. congressman coffman. rep. coffman: could you please give your opinion, the fact is received ay clinton subpoena to turn over her e-mails and decided what she was going to turn over and what she didn't turn over on her private e-mail server to evade public scrutiny. what do you think about that? rep. carroll: i think a couple of things. she said it is a mistake. i think it is a mistake here it --. i do not defend it. rep. coffman: that you think she broke the law? rep. carroll: i think they did a criminal investigation. rep. coffman: do you think they did a right investigation? rep. carroll: i trust that over a political strategy against a candidate. so i think it has been

investigated repeatedly. i don't defend it. what i do think it's curious, transparency is important when something like that is coming forward. it's a reminder for everyone on security protocols, and something everyone needs to pay attention to. i trust the people who have been doing the investigation to figure out if there was wrongdoing. what i find curious is that congress, and people like yourself, are exempted from your version of the open records act. one of the things that has troubled me as a double standard, we are pushing for more transparency, and in every other corner, why under the law would you give yourself a blank, or privacy protections, or inability to get out of? that rep. coffman: i think you are right. members of congress should be subject to all the laws, regulations that they impose on the american people. and that is why when obamacare was passed, i dropped out of the congressional plan available to

employees, and bought my policy without a subsidy through the insurance exchange. i found that my deductible went from $300 to $4500 and then went from there to $6,200. i had to pay 40% of that. but 100% below $4500. if every member of congress had done what i did, obamacare would not be standing here today. coffman, thank you. i appreciate you both sticking a time diligently, having spirited and civil conversation. unfortunately, we are nearing the end of our 30 minutes. it is time for closing statements. the order was decided ahead of time and the representative that -- representative coffman, the floor is yours. rep. coffman: thank you for doing this. as a combat veteran, i have led the fight against the va which has failed to meet the obligations to the men and women that served our country in terms of giving them the health care that they need and deserve.

i've taken my military experience in challenge to the department of defense on wasteful spending. i believe that every dollar wasted by the pentagon is a dollar not spent defending this country. i believe fundamentally that the greatest threat to the security of this country is our rising debt. i will continue to work for a balanced budget requirement to stop washington spending money that we do not have. i have worked with republicans and democrats to find common ground to get things done in washington. and i will stand up to whoever is in the white house whether they are republican or democrat when their actions do not reflect the values and priorities of colorado and the country. >> senator carroll. rep. carroll: congress is broken. before there was a donald trump, there was a congress that was an embarrassment to this country for his refusal to do anything.

to work with each other to get hardly anything done. the major problems of our day remain unaddressed because folks have been more interested in pointing fingers and obstructing than getting things done. to me, we cannot afford to have congress not work. we must take up issues like student debt reform now. immigration reform now. lobbying reform, now. we need to take climate change seriously. we need to move to renewable energy. we should be passing the equality act. we need to fix the hole that got blown into the voting rights act. we should be enforcing and supporting policies like dapa. at the end of the day, we need a congress that will get back to work, and it is for that reason why i would respectfully ask for the vote of the people in the sixth congressional district. >> senator morgan carroll, and congressman mike coffman, thank you for your time. we appreciate your participation in this debate. our debate is over. we are not. stay here for the live eight edition of balance of power.

the state department, meanwhile, also commenting on today's revelation. there is what spokesman mark toner had to say. the fbi director has just informed congress that they found new e-mails that are pertinent to their investigation into secretary clinton's server. what do you know about it? do these e-mails relate to while she was secretary of state? you beenou know, have asked to corroborate, will you collaborate -- cooperate? >> sure. what we know is not much more than you know. about the same. we just learned about this. to refrainnt, i have ,o the fbi about more details

what e-mails they may be looking at, what they are looking for, any more details at all. we don't know anything about the -- effort to look at additional e-mails. we don't know if they pertain to her time while she was at the state department. we don't have any more information. you say that you just learned about it from the letter. mr. turner: whatever they are reporting. >> that's to congress. has the state department gotten a letter? this is the first navigation we have had. >> you will cooperate? mr. toner: of course, we will cooperate to the full extent we can. >> really, so you are just

mystified vital thing? mr. toner: we were unaware. has the state department turnover and e-mails recently because are aware of, people are trying to understand -- mr. toner: to be honest, i don't have any additional details. we stand ready to cooperate, if asked to do so. we don't have any additional details or information to provide at this point. >> the court has ordered you to produce several more batches of the e-mails that the fbi turned over. mr. toner: correct. >> do you anticipate that those releases will continue as per schedule and -- in other words, any investigation by the fbi is

not going to interfere -- is not going to effect your release of the e-mails that they gave to you? -- going to affect the e-mails that they gave to you? mr. toner: speaking as someone without full vision on this new development, i do not see that they would be in conflict. we plan to proceed with publishing these e-mails in accordance with legal commitments we have made. >> you are not aware if those e-mails are at all pertinent to this? mr. toner: no. not at all. >> what about the idea if these are new clinton e-mails, they technically would be state department assets? they belong to the state

department if they were clinton e-mails or someone who was working for her during her tenure as secretary? so the question would be, were you or have you asked the fbi to hand over those documents, and and if you have not, will you? mr. toner: we are just at the point where we are trying to figure out what the e-mails even pertain to, whether they are relevant to her time as secretary of state. we cannot make assumptions at this point. they are, we will seek to work with the fbi, if they ask us to, but i don't have the details at this point. >> reaction from members of congress was swift. among them, house speaker paul ryan who released a statement that reads in part --

reaction from secretary clinton's presidential rival donald trump was quickly forthcoming as well. here is what the nominee had to say at a rally in new hampshire this afternoon. mr. trump: i need to open with a very critical breaking news announcement. the fbi has just sent a letter to congress informing them that they have discovered new e-mails pertaining to the former secretary of state hillary clinton's investigation.

[cheering] mr. trump: and they are reopening the case into her criminal and illegal conduct. that threatens the security of the united states of america. hillary clinton's corruption is on a scale we have never seen before. we must not let her take her criminal scheme into the oval office.

i have great respect for the fact that the fbi and the department of justice are now willing to have the courage to right the horrible mistake that they made. this was a grave miscarriage of justice that the american people that people fully understood, and it is everybody's hope that it is about to be corrected. so that is a big announcement that i heard 10 minutes ago, and i guess obviously most of you

folks have heard about, and in all fairness, for all of the people that have suffered, we're -- for doing so much less including a four-star general, , james cartwright, general petraeus, and many others, perhaps finally justice will be done. >> in reaction to the news of additional scrutiny by the fbi, the chairman of the hillary clinton campaign john podesta released a statement, saying --

later in the day, hillary clinton made a deep -- a brief statement in des moines concerning the fbi's announcement about the discovery of new e-mails. she took a few questions from the news media. clinton: good afternoon. i would like to say a few words, and then take your questions. i have now seen director comey's letter to congress. from perhapss out the most important national election of our lifetime. voting is already underway in our country. the american people deserve to get the full and complete facts immediately. the director himself has said, he doesn't know whether the e-mails referenced in his letter are significant or not.

i am confident, whatever they are, they will not change the conclusion reached in july. therefore, it is imperative that the bureau explains this issue in question, whatever it is, without any delay. i look forward to moving forward to focus on the important challenges facing the american people, winning on november 8, and working with all americans to build a better future for our country. thank you. >> have you are any of your advisors heard from comey or anyone else at the fbi today? are you concerned at all that these new e-mails they say they have found willing anyway reveal classified information that you sent or received? hillary clinton: no, we have not been contacted by anyone. the first we knew about it is i assume when you knew about it, when the letter sent to republican members of the house was released. which't know the facts,

is why we are calling on the fbi to release all the information that it has. even director coming noted that this new information may not be significant, so let's get it out. >> you have 11 days to go, what would you say to a voter right now will be seeing you and hearing what you are saying, saying i did not trust her before, i don't trust her anymore right now and they are going to the ballot tomorrow? hillary clinton: i think people along time ago made up their minds about the e-mails. i think that has factored into what people think, and now they are choosing a president. so i would urge everybody to get out and vote early. and all the states that have early voting, because i think americans want a president who can lead our country and get the economy working for everyone, not just those at the top. and, can bring our country together. i offer that, i can do that, and

i am confident the american people know that. we are going to continue what -- discuss what is at stake in the election, because i believe it is one of the most consequential elections ever. >> thanks very much. secretary clinton, there are some reports that these e-mails were found on devices that belong to your aide, and have you spoken to huma, has she given you any information? hillary clinton: we have heard these rumors. we don't know what to believe. i'm sure there will be even more rumors. that is why it is incumbent upon addthat is why it is incumbent upon the fbi to tell us what they are talking about, because right now, your guess is as good as mine. and i do not think that is good enough. we made that very clear that if they are going to be sending this kind of letter that is only going originally to republican members of the house, that they

need to share whatever facts they claim to have with of the american people. and that is what i expect to happen. thank you, all. >> if you missed any of the presidential debates, go to c-span.org using your desktop, phone, or tablet. on our special debate page, you can watch the entire debate, choosing between the split screen or split camera options. you can even go to specific questions and answers from the debate, finding the content you want, quickly and easily. and use our video clipping tool to create clips of your favorite debate moments to share on social media. c-span.org on your desktop, phone, or tablet, for the presidential debate. >> republican presidential candidate donald trump commented

[applause] mr. trump: the state of my first victory. and we are going to win back the white house.

75% of the american people think our country is on the wrong track, and we're going to fix it. we are to get our country back on the right track, and very, very quickly. real change begins with repealing and replacing obamacare. we can't forget how big news that is. we can't lose track. it's a disaster, just like everything else in this administration. it has just been announced that americans are going to experience another massive double-digit hike in obamacare premiums. including a 116% premium hike to our very good friends in the great state of arizona. even bill clinton admitted obamacare is the craziest thing

in the world, where people wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half. in minnesota, where the premium increase will be almost 60%, the democratic governor said the affordable care act is no longer affordable. jonathan gruber, the architect of obamacare, admitted it was all a fraud. he said it was passed because of the stupidity of the american voter. we are doing a lot of good work, aren't we? we are catching all of these people. we are doing a good job. jonathan gruber, there's another. we didn't forget. i never forgot jonathan gruber. i said if we do this, i'm going to run, and people forget. i said i'm never going to forget jonathan gruber. the architect of obamacare, what he said. we didn't forget.

can you imagine? it's a little more than a week before the election, we didn't forget the name jonathan gruber. but the only real stupidity is that shown by politicians to pass this monstrosity over the serious objections of certain politicians and the american voters. job killing obamacare is just one more way the system is rigged. but with what i have just announced, previously, it might not be as rigged as i thought. right? right? the fbi, i think they are going to right the ship. they're going to save their great reputation by doing so. hillary clinton wants to double down on obamacare, destroying

american health care forever. she wants to expand obamacare and make it even more expensive. i will repeal and replace obamacare and we will replace it with a much less expensive plan, and a plan that is much, much better. just this year, hillary clinton declared obamacare is one of the greatest accomplishments of president obama, the democratic party, and our country. that's turned out to be wrong. do they do anything right? we don't win anymore, i mean, you're going to have such a good time starting in 17. we're going to start winning again. we're going to start winning again. because it's turned out -- i've been saying this from before it passed. obamacare is a catastrophe.

beyond imagination. insurers are leaving, doctors are quitting, companies are fleeing. workers hours are being cut, part-time jobs are all over the place. it was beautiful full-time jobs you used to have don't exist. and deductibles are through the roof. you don't get to use it. if we don't get rid of obamacare, we have no choice. if we don't get rid of it, our health care system is gone forever. we will never have another chance. and by the way, if we don't win this election, you're never going to have another chance either. that i can tell you. it's never going to happen again. repealing obamacare is one of the single most important reasons we must win on november 8. the real change also means getting rid of the corruption in washington, and again, maybe that's happened.

wow. it's a big day. think of it. i won my first primary in new hampshire, and i'm getting here is the news this morning is -- this is bigger than watergate. this is bigger. in my opinion. this is bigger than watergate. hillary deleted 30,000 e-mails after receiving a congressional subpoena. there were more serious things done, but that was so obvious. she gets the subpoena, she bleaches and the leads 30,000 e-mails. -- and deletes 30,000 e-mails. it's not about the sale of uranium that nobody knows what it means. i know what it means. to russia. then she talks to me about russia.

20% of the uranium in our country to russia. but you know, the deletion of 33,000 e-mails, that is so out there. after receiving a subpoena from the united states government, she lied to congress, she lied to the fbi, she made 13 phones disappear, some with a hammer. the clinton crew gave more than $675,000 to the wife of the deputy director of the fbi, and the man who was overseeing the investigation into hillary's server. right now, that takes care of itself. i'm very proud that the fbi was willing to do this. [applause]

just yesterday, we learned that bill clinton's right-hand man just for clinton foundation donors and other donors to funnel as much a $65 million in personal profit to bill and hillary clinton. this man explained that the cozy relationship between the consulting firm, the foundation in clinton's personal income had helped bill and hillary enrich themselves and obtained in-kind services, including personal travel, hospitality relations, and the like. the same people were lobbying hillary clinton at the same time. these people are seriously corrupt. terrible conflict. hillary's pay for play included defense contracts. take raytheon, they hired three

lobbyists that raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for hillary's last campaign. and are raising money for her campaign. and by the way, 50 to one in ads. in florida, we are winning. ohio, were winning. iowa, we're winning. doing great in new hampshire. i think we are going to have a tremendous victory in pennsylvania. we better have a great victory in new hampshire, please. ok? [applause] in fact, when this news of the fbi's investigation, when it just happened a little while ago, they said mr. trump, i

think they would understand. we could skip your speech in new hampshire. this is so big. i said i don't have the courage to skip the speech. believe me. i don't have the courage. i'm not skipping enhancer. i never will. we had the big rallies and they said the big rallies will never work in new hampshire. that you have to sit down and have dinner with everybody. i said that's a lot of dinners. they don't expect that. remember, i would have a lot of small meetings, people would talk in new hampshire with any other place taught me about drugs flowing into this country. and your police departments, so great. they told me. i went to some and became friendly with them. i never knew, honestly, i never knew it was so bad. i said to the people of new hampshire, because more than any other place, you look at the

beautiful little roadways and lakes and streams and everything is so beautiful. the trees, and you say how could they have a drug problem here? i would sit down with groups and say what's your biggest problem? i figured there was a maybe the veterans, which are suffering greatly in this area. and we will solve that problem. but it was always heroin. i said heroin? i learned so much. i said to the people of new hampshire if i win, which i did win new hampshire. if i win, i also said, if i go all the way, we are going to stop the inflow of drugs into new hampshire and into our country. 100%. and i gave the people of enhancer my pledge. more than anybody else in this case. because they really, about what's happening with the world of drugs pouring in.

hard to believe, it's just so strange when you look and see the beauty of this place, then you see that heroin and drugs are your number one problem. by far. anyway, within months, these lobbyists sealed over $26 billion in foreign arms deals, including over $19 billion in qatar, some people say qatar, which happened to offer bill clinton $1 million as a birthday gift for some face time. the lobbyists, one of whom was the sister-in-law to hillary clinton's current campaign chair, received hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees. the contractor got billions of dollars in contracts, and hillary clinton got her campaign cash and money for her foundation. i am putting up your medicine

ultimately. today i wrote another check for $10 million, i'm spending money like crazy. i will probably have close to war over $100 million of my money spent on the campaign. but there's something nice about that. unless i lose, in which case they would say what is that all about, right? but we're going to do is right for you, not what's right for some contributor or special interest. hillary put the office of the secretary of state up for sale. and if she ever got the chance, believe me, she would put the office -- you know what office am talking about, the office, call the oval office, for sale. i propose a contract with the american voter which will end

the corruption and give government back to our great people. i want the entire corrupt washington establishment to hear and heed the words i'm about to say. i have never loved this expression, but it's become the hottest six. if we win in november, we are going to washington, d.c., when we win, ok. and we are going to drain the the swamp. at the core of my contract is my plan to bring back our jobs. you have been suffering with the jobs. the jobs have gone like candy being taken from the baby. new growth numbers just released but the average growth rate for this year at a disastrous 1.5%. china goes down to 7% or 8%, gdp, it's a national

catastrophe. last quarter, we were at 1%. our job numbers last week were horrible. they were anemic, as this person goes. anemic was the word they used. obama is the first president in modern history not to have a single year up 3% growth. it's hard because we are a large country. well india is a much larger country, they are at 8%. china is at 7%. and china is not happy. we are at around 1%, and we just keep going along. just keep going along, losing our jobs to mexico and every other place. 47 million americans are on food stamps and 45 million people -- this is our country, are living

in poverty. meanwhile, our trade deficit with the world is now nearly $800 billion a year. you say who negotiates these contracts? true, obama. it's true. instead of campaigning for hillary clinton, he ought to be in the white house, in the oval office, negotiating trade deals. beating isis. taking care of our veterans, which he does not do. we are living through the greatest jobs theft in the history of the world. they are stealing our jobs. the greatest in history of the world. new hampshire has lost one in three manufacturing jobs since nafta. a deal signed by bill clinton and supported strongly by hillary. we lost 70,000 factories since china entered the world trade

organization, another bill and hillary disaster. the trump administration will immediately begin negotiating, and we will start the negotiations so fast. we will start and if we don't get the deal we want, we will terminate nafta and get a much, much better trade deal. i won't go into the details, but they are under a different tax system. they are under a bad system, and we are under our system. the day the deal was signed, it was an ineffective deal, with us having a massive, 17% at least disadvantage. so, it's complicated, i am not going to bore you with it, but we have been dealing with a defective deal for year, and we are going to renegotiate it.

if a country wants to fire their workers and go to mexico and then ship their product back into the united states, we will charge them a tax of 35%. so, when you think these companies, which right now are negotiating to leave new hampshire, ohio, all of our great places, great states, and right now as we are talking, they are negotiating deals. mexico is the eighth wonder of the world, what happening in mexico. what about us? it's going to be the other way around. but there will be consequences.

you know, when they realize they have to pay attacks to come through the border, because it will be a strong border, with their products, they are going to say we are not going to move. very simple. the politicians are controlled by the people who give them campaign contributions and probably other things. does anybody know what i mean by that? we will also stand up to chinese currency manipulation, and we will stop the transpacific partnership. we will become a rich nation again, but to be a rich nation, we must also be a safe nation. hillary clinton unleashed isis onto the world, and it has now spread into our country. there are right now one thousand

open isis investigations in the united states, more than at any time that we have ever had. now, hillary wants to increase by 550% the massive number of syrian refugees flowing into our country, that's over the obama numbers, and those are thousands and thousands. a trump administration will suspend the syrian refugee program. and will help them with safe havens and will get other countries like the gulf states -- who have nothing but money -- we have $20 trillion in debt. we will get them to pay. they have to do their share. that you know why? we can't let people into this country that we don't know about. we don't know. let me say this as clearly as i

can. if i am elected president, i am going to keep -- [applause] when. we love new hampshire. i love this place. i love this place. by the way, you know we are leading in florida, we are leading in all these places. we are down in new hampshire. i don't think so. these polls, these polls, these are called early polls, you know what that is. she comes up here with four people and is like, we have a wonderful crowd. i don't think so. i think we are winning new hampshire. ok, so we will change it. when i am elected president, i

am going to keep radical islamic terrorists the hell out of our country. a trump administration will also secure the defense borders of the united states. boy, you people have great energy. well, let's face it. you have been waiting a long time for the right person. you do have energy. [crowd chanting "trump!"] a lot of the different places, reports are coming out, they hate to write it, you know, the

dishonest media -- they are the worst. they are so dishonest. they are so dishonest, folks. a lot of reports coming out of the early voting states, people are voting who have never voted. they had never seen anybody who was going to bring back jobs and not let companies leave us in fire everybody and move. and then let product pour into our country with no tax. no, go ahead. fire all our people. move to mexico. make the products. your air conditioner carrier is a good example. they are leaving. they are probably not leaving, but they are probably all about to change their minds. how stupid is this? how stupid. i am a free trader. but these lines in florida are

four blocks long. they were never like that. they have never seen anything like it. a tennessee congressman said we have never seen anything like it. people are coming out who hadn't voted in years. literally, hadn't voted in years. so like in the last election, they didn't want to pull you. there are people in texas who hadn't voted in years, people that had never even voted, great americans, who just never saw somebody they wanted to vote for. they are coming out with the trump shirt, the hat, the buttons all over the place. now, who knows? they may have all the trump stuff and you never know.

maybe they are voting for crooked hillary clinton, but i don't think so, right? i don't think so. history has taught us that we don't think so, so i think we are doing great. and yet, on the border, we have no choice, we will build the wall, and mexico is going to pay for it. we've got to stop the drugs. my pledge to everybody, but in particular to new hampshire, because i know what you are going through with the drugs. i know what your incredible law-enforcement, police, and fire department -- believe me, they are not spoken about. and how about when they are shooting during fires, shooting at the firemen. this is a new phenomenon. they are shooting bullets at

firemen going to fires and fighting fires. so, we have a divided country and we are going to make our country love again. we are going to make it like this room. countless americans who have died in recent years would not be alive today if not for the open border policy of this administration. this includes incredible americans like 21-year-old tara. you have seen her story. you have read about it. the man who killed her and heard federal custody and then was released into the united states community under the policies of this white house. he was released again and again after crime after crime and now is at large. sarah graduated from college just the day before with a 4.0 grade point average, top in her class, she was violently, violently killed. outstanding individual. i know her parents. also, a convenience store clerk in mesa, arizona.

he was murdered by a gang member previously convicted of burglary who had also been released from federal custody. so many people, please, please, don't release him. he is violent. and he shot a man through the head. i man gunned down in the sanctuary city of san francisco by an illegal immigrant. and this person was deported five times. now he has a good lawyer and the case will go on, and on, and on. shot in the back while standing with her father, great parents, great brother.

then there is the case of 90-year-old girl who was brutally beaten and left to bleed to death in his home -- earl, who was brutally beaten and left to bleed to death in his home. the perpetrators were criminals with records a mile long that did not meet the obama administration's criteria for removal. people beg that they be removed from the country, but our geniuses wouldn't listen. in california, a 64-year-old was sexually assaulted and been to death -- beaten to death with a hammer. her killer had been arrested on multiple occasions. people beg, please the port him. -- please do port him. there are thousands of cases like this. when i'm president, it will end.

not only will the borders keep out the criminals, they will keep out the drugs that are poisoning our youth. by the way, there are people in new hampshire who are not our youth who have a tremendous problem. we are going to try everything we can to get them on-addicted. -- un-addicted. as i said when i won the new hampshire primary, we will stop drugs from pouring into your community, and i guarantee you we will. you will be so proud of your president. you will be so proud of your community.

we have an amazing movement going on, and the movement like they have never seen before. a movement that hopefully won't be stopped. a movement that the biggest people in the world, the media, the biggest, have said they have never seen anything like it before. every crowd, every auditorium. the other night we had a situation, we had thousands and thousands of people, and i said to the fire marshal, isn't it possible to let more in? i said could we let the man? they said we can't. they said we are worried about a stampede. it's a stampede of love. it's true.

because there were so many people. they said we have security guards but they are not nearly as strong as 45,000 people come charging. we have something going on that's so special, so special. we are going to reduce your taxes, simplify your taxes. we are going to make your businesses welcome in our country. we are going to reduce taxes for middle income people, the forgotten men and women. greatly simplify your returns. the only company that won't like us is h&r block. we will simplify your taxes.

and your businesses, we will take your taxes from 35 percent, one of the highest in the world, and we will make them the lowest. tremendous amounts of regulation are killing small business and big business. we are going to have a tax friendly country again. it's going to mean jobs, expansion, growing. we are going to create the border, stop the drugs, have people come into our country -- we want people to come into our country, but they have to come in legally. we are going to streamline the process. we want them to come in legally. and we want merit.

we want wonderful people that love our country. they want to get out and do a great job. we want to have them also come in based on merit. a word you don't hear anymore. too bad. we are also going to, very importantly, appoint justices to the supreme court or you can be proud of and who will respect the constitution of the united states. we are going to save our second amendment. [applause] we are going to help bigley on education. we are going to go with choice. our military is depleted. we are going to rebuild our military. we are going to lead through

strength. hopefully, we do not need to use our military, but i will tell you this. we are getting rid of isis. we are getting rid of isis. we have no choice. not since medieval times have people seem -- chopping off of heads, drowning in cages, burying in the sand, not since medieval times. it all grew during the tenure of obama and hillary clinton. isis. she stands up and says what she says. she was there. it came out of the vacuum.

we should never have gone into iraq, but once we did, we should've gone out the right way, not the wrong way, in the way they went out with so sad, so bad, including giving back mosul, which now they are fighting to take a back, and they should have used the element of surprise -- does anyone agree? we never use the element of surprise anymore. give them plenty of time to get ready and then attack. and it turns out to be tough for them they ever thought. we are going to have a country you are going to be proud of again. we are going to have a president that hopefully you will be proud of. i am going to work so hard for every community. i will be working very hard for the african-american community, the hispanic community, for every community. and we are going to have this divided nation come together, and i just want to say, we are

going to make america strong again. we are going to make america -- it doesn't sound nice, but we have no choice -- wealthy again. we are going to make america great again. i want to thank everybody in new hampshire. get out and vote. you are special people. you are very, very special people. god bless you and vote. thank you, new hampshire. ♪

eight years ago and some of you were only four, but if you will recall, we were going through two long wars. we were in the early days of the worst economic crisis of our lifetime. everything from health care to climate change to criminal justice, we had been kicking the can down the road for too long. and i said at that time, i said that i was not a perfect man. i would not be a perfect president. i said if you elected me, we would not solve every problem on day one. we would not solve it all in one year or one term or even in one presidency. what i told you was i would work as hard as i could every single day to do right by you.

[applause] that every day when i walked into the oval office, i would be thinking about the folks i met on the campaign trail. i would be thinking about the students trying to get a good education without a ton of debt. i be thinking about the working families trying to figure out how to pay the bills and maybe they had lost their homes or their pensions. because of the economic crisis. i would be thinking about folks who did not have health care and were worried about how they were going to make sure somebody they loved got treated fairly. and i will tell you this, i have

made mistakes during these eight years. there has been ups and lows. i kept that promise to work for you as hard as i could. you kept faith with me and working together what we have seen is that in america at the edge of depression battle back. we turned job losses into 15 million new jobs and last year incomes went up faster than any time may have been keeping records. poverty went down faster than any time since 1968. we just learned this week that the economy grew faster than any

time in the last two years. we have seen in america that went from too many people uninsured to noun 20 million people with health care who did not have it before. the lowest uninsured rates in our history. we have seen an america that was hooked on foreign oil. we've kicked about addiction and we are producing solar energy, wind energy, fighting to protect our planet by reducing harmful carbon pollution. we have seen our men and women in uniform, the best to there is, sign up to serve and meet every mission. to pursue the terrorists responsible for 9/11. get osama bin laden. make sure justice was served. we have seen a country where freedom was limited in so many places.

to a situation where every state you can marry the person you love. [applause] we have increased access to pell grants. we have seen the highest high school graduation rate in our history. we have seen the biggest jump in college enrollment in our history. across the board, by almost every measure, we are significantly better off now than eight years ago. and part of it is because we've got policies right and part of it is because of you. i travel across all 50 states and i have seen what makes

america great. i have seen folks working hard, starting businesses, reaching into their own pockets to make sure kids get an education. i have seen doctors serving the poor. i have seen our brave men and women in uniform and our brave police officers and first responders running towards danger and working to keep us safe. i have seen the patriotism of young activists speaking out to make the country better, even if it makes us uncomfortable. calling on us to live up to our highest ideals. i see you, americans of every party and of every faith, knowing we are stronger working together, whether we are young or old, men or women. black, white, latino, asian, native american, folks with disabilities, gay, straight, it does not matter.

pledging allegiance to the red, white, and blue. that is the america i know. that is the america i love. that is why thrall of the ups and downs, i have not been worried about this country because i have seen the heart and soul of the american people and it is good. it is deep and it is strong and it is resilient and there is only one candidate in this race who i believe can continue the progress we have made and i know that because she has devoted her life to make america better. that is the next president of the united states, hillary clinton. [applause] so i am going to work over these next 11 days.

i don't know about you, but i'm not tired. i'm feeling good. [applause] i'm ready to work. i need you to join me. florida, i need you to join me. young people, i need you to join me. you don't need to wait until november 8. because here in florida, you can vote early. here in florida, you can vote right now. and if you turn out to vote, and i want the young people to listen -- hold on a second.

everybody hold on. hold on, hold on. i want to talk to young people here for a second. if you vote, you, young people, vote. if you vote for somebody who wants to make sure college is more affordable. if you want to vote for somebody who make sure we are dealing with climate change instead of denying it. if you want to make sure we have someone who cares about civil rights. you will send hillary to the white house. you will send patrick murphy to the senate. it is up to you. by the way, for those of you not young but young at heart, don't be offended. i've got to speak to the young people because us older people,

we generally vote. we don't have enough energy to have as much fun as the young people do. we are not as distracted. we remember to vote. the young people, they have a lot of stuff going on. i need you, young people, to vote. and by the way, the nearest early voting location for orange county is straight down the road. the nearest seminole county location is up the road. here is the thing. you are being sweet to me and i appreciate it. understand this. all the progress we have made

over the past several years, goes out the window if we do not win this election. health care for 20 million people goes away. the progress we have made on climate change goes away. all the work we have been doing to make college more affordable goes away. the stakes could not be higher. i understand right now, stakes could not be higher and i understand that right now the polls show hillary having a lead -- no, no. hold on. hold on. you know, sometimes when you get

a lead whether it's in sports or in politics, you start feeling good. you start celebrating too early. you start getting turnovers, you start missing free throws, suddenly it gets a little closer, you start tightening it up and next thing you know you look up and you let it slip away, see, i don't want y'all feeling too good. i want you hustling all the way until the polls close on november 8. i don't want you to take things for granted. i don't want you to do a usain bolton looking back smiling because politics isn't like track and field, you're not always as fast as usain bolton. you have to stay focus and run through the tape, we cannot kick back and think that we have this thing won because this has been

a volatile race. folks are in a volatile mood. media stories go up and down and sometimes it's hard to sort out what's wrong and true and what's false which is why the other guy can say what he wants, right? and so we have to work hard, and by the way that's who hillary is. hillary never takes anything for granted. i have worked with hillary, she works hard every single day. she doesn't take a day off. she is a grinder. she just keeps on working. i have seen it, i have benefited from it, i have seen her in the situation room making the argument to go after bin laden even when it was risky. i have seen her trouble the globe. it's not always flashy, people

at home don't always see it. folks like big speeches and sound bites, she doesn't always get the credit but she does the work, she does the work. she understands the challenges we face. she knows what we are talking about. by the way, when things go her way, you don't see her whining or complaining. saying that things were rigged, she just comes back and gets up and works harder and she works harder and she works harder until she gets done what she's supposed to get done. and the reason she works to hard is because she cares. she knows about hardships. her mom was an orphan. she knows the decisions that you make in the presidency are not

abstraction. she knows this is in just about the game of politics. she knows that we decide, what i decide and what she would decide as president means everything to a soldier or a veteran or military families, a family who is trying to make ends meet for the children who is trying to go to college for the first time. for a young person that was brought to the country as a child and wants to contribute to the only home that she's ever known. hillary knows that ordinary people need a champion. she doesn't just talk the talk, she walks the walk. she has details and read them through and thought them through which is why she's in a debate with the other guy, she's talking about stuff that she actually knows something about and the other guy is just making stuff up. [applause]

president obama: listen, i was a good student in law school and when i was in high school my first two years i was one of the guys that kind of was talking and trying to get in good with the teacher, i was kind of charming and -- but i wasn't always doing my work. and you know, that's okay for a while. but just like you want to

surgeon who has actually studied surgery. just like you want a pilot who did their homework when it comes to flying a plane. you don't want the slacker as your president. you want somebody who is actually going to work hard and do the job. you want somebody that knows what they're talking about. and by the way, you know who is also a hard worker, it's patrick murphy. [applause] president obama: patrick murphy. unlike his opponent, marco rubio, patrick actually shows up to his job. he puts you ahead of politics. he didn't try to defund planned parenthood. he fought to make sure women could make their own healthcare decisions. he didn't say that he was supportive of florida's latino

community but then when the policy got tough you walked away from comprehensive immigration reform. unlike his opponent, he actually believes in science and that climate change is happening. debate, marco rubio didn't accept the sea levels rising. now, he's from miami. [laughter] so you can go to miami, and on a sunny day, you can see a foot of if you want, you can put your finger in it and it is salty. it is in the middle of the road. it is a problem
