6:04 am
i'll tell you. i am so glad to be back in michigan. [cheers and applause] and that introduction, i am still vibrating from it. i think my longtime friend, reverend wendell anthony, for giving us some of the best lines we have had in the whole campaign. thank you. there is something special about this place and some of you may recognize the song that was playing when i came in, and amazing anthem called "rise up."
6:05 am
and that is what detroit is doing. you are rising up. and that is exactly what we are going to do in america, we are going to rise up and make sure the american dream is enough for everyone. i am looking forward to working with the great team you have here in detroit, and in michigan. i want to thank your senators, your members of congress, congressman john conyers, sandy levin, brenda lawrence and debbie dingo, and i want to thank your great mayor, mayor mike duggan. thank you.
6:06 am
wayne county executive lauren evans. sheriff benny napoleon. the president of the uaw, dennis williams. longtime friends and former colleagues of mine, senator carl levin and his wife, barbara, are here. and to all who are present today , i was delighted my friend and supporter mark cuban could be here, because he is not only a real billionaire -- [laughter] he has actually shared his profits with his employees. now, are you ready to vote on
6:07 am
tuesday? [applause] are you ready to volunteer to get everybody out to vote? are you ready to choose our next president and commander in chief? did any of you see the three debates that we had? well, i spent four and a half hours standing next to donald trump, proving once and for all i have the stamina to be the next president. he kept saying a lot of unusual things, didn't he? and, you know, there is a certain preparation you do to be ready for those debates. i did it, because i think you should prepare to be the president of the united states. and i did practice my composure. people said to me, how did you
6:08 am
do that? the things he was saying, and in the second debate when he was following you around and lurching over you, i said well, i did practice, and i had my friends and my family spent hours saying terrible things to me, so i was ready. but he would say what of you done for 30 years? and, you know, i don't want to brag. [cheers and applause] but i do think it matters what you have done, and especially
6:09 am
what you have done that may be improved somebody else's life. one of the great joys of this campaign has been traveling around our country meeting people who have been affected by what we have been doing. for example, as first lady, i helped create the children's health insurance program, which covers 8 million kids. these are families that are not poor. they are working people. they don't make enough money. they don't work for somebody who provides insurance. very often, their kids are being affected by not getting the health care they should've had. i met a woman whose baby daughter when she was born was diagnosed as totally deaf, and the doctor said we are sorry, there is nothing we can do for her. but this mother, like many
6:10 am
mothers i know, did not take that for an answer, right? she got on the internet. she began to research. she found there were treatments she could maybe provide to her little daughter, but they were expensive. she and her husband didn't have the kind of money and they didn't have insurance. she went to the doctor's office and she was distraught. her doctor said there is a new thing called the children's health insurance program. maybe you should look into it. it turned out she was eligible. she signed up. she started giving her daughter the best health insurance, that everybody in this country should be able to have, by the way. when i was in north carolina, i heard about her, and i got to meet her, and i met her daughter who talked to me and just graduated from college because she got the health care and the treatment that she deserved to
6:11 am
have. i tell you what. that is how i judge the last 30 years. have i done something to help somebody out? i am well aware of the blessings i have had. i want to be sure all of us figure out a way to pay it forward and make it possible for more families, more kids to have the chance to live up to their own god-given potential. i was a senator in new york on 9/11, so i know what can happen, the evil and the hatred of terrorism. i saw it, and i spent my time helping to rebuild new york city and get health care for the brave first responders who ran toward danger, not away from it. our police, our firefighters, our emts. and i tell you who else we have
6:12 am
covered. we have construction workers who ran with their supplies and their tools. i see one right out there who knows exactly what i'm talking about. all across the city, people were leaving their job sites and rushing toward danger. that was america at its best, and don't ever forget what we are capable of being, who we are. we are not afraid. we are brave, courageous people who will do our best if given the chance.
6:13 am
as your secretary of state, i went to one hundred 12 countries, negotiated cease-fires, reduced nuclear weapons, stood up for women's rights, human rights, and lgbt rights. i am telling you this because i want you to know that i will do everything i can if i am honored to be your president, i will get up every day in that white house and i will go to work for you and your family to make it possible for you to get the chances and the opportunities you deserve to have. i want you to have a candidate you can vote for, not just someone to vote against. tim kaine and i have run a campaign based on issues and ideas, not on insults. if you really take a look at what is at stake in this
6:14 am
election, it is a choice between two very different visions for america. when i hear my opponent talk about america, i don't recognize the country he is talking about. it is so dark, so divisive, so hateful. that is not the america that i believe in. i believe that we should have a confident, optimistic, inclusive vision of where we are going and how we are going to get there. i love our country, and i believe in the american people, and i think there is nothing we can't achieve if we work together, set some goals, go after them. we believe in an america that is
6:15 am
bighearted, not small minded. we believe in an america that is already great, but can be greater if we do our part. and we believe america is great because america is good. never forget that. if we lift each other up and not tear each other down, we can go even further. i believe with all my heart that we are stronger together. so, come next january 20, america is going to have a new president. [applause]
6:16 am
i know that a lot of people say they want change. let me tell you this. change is inevitable. there will be change. the question is what kind of change are we going to have? are we going to build a stronger, fairer, better country? or are we going to fear the future and each other? i sure hope not. that is not the america i believe we are, so here is what i want to ask you to do. i want you to talk to your friends, your family, your neighbors. michigan is one of the states
6:17 am
that does not have early voting. i have been all over the country going to states that already have early voting. 32 million people have already voted in those states. but michigan votes on tuesday. i imagine some of you know people who say they are going to vote for donald trump, right? i know. i know. i understand that. i mean, i would hope you would try to stage an intervention before it's too late. but maybe you could ask them with you to imagine january 20, 2017. imagine that my opponent is taking the oath of office in
6:18 am
front of the capitol. imagine having a president who demeans women, mocks the disabled, who insults african-americans and latinos and muslims, who personally engages in busting unions and preventing people from having the rights to bargain collectively. now, we really don't have to imagine what that would be like, because everything he has said and done both in his career and in this campaign tells you what could happen. michelle obama, who says so many wise and wonderful things, she
6:19 am
said the presidency doesn't change who you are, it reveals who you are. and i think we have seen who donald trump is. maya angelou, another great american, said when someone shows you who he is, believe him the first time. if my opponent were to win, we would have a president who has only ever been in it for himself. just last year he said again it would not have mattered if we rescued the auto industry or let it go bankrupt. what is he talking about? i proud to president saved the auto industry. and i am even prouder that
6:20 am
because of the hard work of people in detroit, across michigan in the u.s., the u.s. auto industry just had its best year ever. if donald wins the election, we would have a president who wants to ban every muslim in the world from coming to visit the united states. we are a country founded on religious freedom. that runs contrary to our constitution. we would have a president who has said repeatedly that he thinks the lives of black people are all about crime and poverty and despair. he has no idea about the
6:21 am
strength of the black church and the vibrancy of black-owned businesses, the excellence of historically black colleges and universities. he seems to know nothing about the rise of a new generation of black activists and the success of black leaders in every field. i think he needs a visit from reverend wendell anthony, don't you? yesterday in north carolina, i was honored to stand with a woman named mae brown wiggins. decades ago, she was a hard-working nurse in new york city. she was looking for an apartment she could afford to rent, but donald trump and his father turned her away. whenever she and her african-american friends try to rent an apartment, their application was marked with a c, c for colored. she went to the department of
6:22 am
justice and eventually they sued the trumps for housing discrimination. and although they settled, they wouldn't change, so the government had to take them back to court. that's a pattern. this is what happens time and time again with my opponent. if he were to win, he would be in charge of the federal housing department. if he does not respect all americans now, how can we trust him to serve all americans in the future? he has such a casual disregard of our constitution. he does not seem to understand the rule of law, we really are a nation of laws, not men. here is the latest example. a terrible crime back in 1990 in
6:23 am
new york city. it was called the central park five. there were five black and latino kids, some as young as 14. they were wrongfully convicted and they were in prison, where they spent years. donald trump took out full-page ads calling for the death penalty. even after they were exonerated, and someone else confessed, trump said they should still be in prison. it does not matter if you are innocent. if he decides you should be in prison, or you should be locked up -- [laughter] [cheers and applause]
6:24 am
no wonder he admires vladimir putin. that is exactly what he does to his people. we cannot trust him with our constitution. we cannot trust him to obey the rule of law. he has shown us who he is. we have to decide who we are. let me paint you a different picture. here is what we are going to do together. if we win this election on tuesday night -- [applause] we have three big challenges. we have to get the economy working for everyone, not just those at the top. we have to keep our country safe and we have to work with our
6:25 am
allies to lead the world with strength and intelligence for peace and prosperity. we have got to bring our country together. we have got to overcome these divides. we have to heal our nation. i hope that you will help me meet all three of those challenges. [cheers and applause] i have said repeatedly that we will take on discrimination and bigotry because any time we hold somebody back, it can lead to holding other people back. we cannot accept as normal as we are seeing across our country because of his campaign. a church in mississippi was burned this week. someone painted "vote trump" on the side and then set it on
6:26 am
fire. we cannot let that happen. what happened in flint, michigan, should not be normal or acceptable. our kids should be guaranteed clean air and clean water. those are basic. we have got to do everything we can to make sure we take care of our children. it is important for us to recognize that when i talk about getting the economy to work for everybody, that means i want the biggest jobs program since world war ii. infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, green renewable energy technology. some people say we cannot do that.
6:27 am
i am telling you they are wrong. we have the best workers, the most productive workers. we will give them more to work on, more products to produce. [cheers and applause] and we will do more for small business. small business is the backbone of so many communities. i want everybody to have the chance to succeed in america. we will dismantle the so-called school to prison pipeline and replace it with the cradle to college pipeline. i want to start with our youngest kids. prekindergarten programs and then i want to be a good partner with our teachers. we have to have high expectations and get results in helping our children.
6:28 am
i want to be sure that we put technical education back into high school because there are good jobs out there waiting for young people with the skills to do them. [cheers and applause] it will be important that we create an environment which our police and communities can work together and trust each other. i believe we are safer when everyone has respect for the law and everybody is respected by the law. that is what we are going to work for. we are going to take steps to reduce gun violence and save lives. [cheers and applause] this has nothing to do with
6:29 am
scare tactics coming from my opponent. he is wearing a camo hat now. [laughter] really? we are going to work with responsible gun owners, who understand that we've got to keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have them in the first place. [cheers and applause] while we create more safe communities we want to invest in those communities. i want to continue the good work our past two democratic presidents have done, one named clinton, one named obama. [cheers]
6:30 am
and i want to be a strong partner. i will compete a little with them. i want to be a strong partner with detroit and other cities who are on the way back up, to make sure you get the investment and support for the housing and the jobs that you need. but we also have to make sure our economy is more fair. we should raise the national minimum wage. people who work full-time should not be left in poverty. isn't it time to guarantee equal pay for women? [cheers and applause] this is not a woman's issue. if you have a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, it is your
6:31 am
issue. it is a family issue. every time i talk about wanting to have affordable childcare, paid family leave, equal pay for women the other side accuses me of playing the woman card. i will tell you what, if standing up for equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in. [cheers and applause] one of the other big challenges we are going to take on, i am so excited about this. i'm proud of the campaign bernie sanders and i ran. it was a campaign about issues. and what we decided after it was over is how we could work together to make sure everybody
6:32 am
who wants to go to college can afford not just to start but actually to graduate. [cheers and applause] so we came up with a plan that if you go to a public college or university, you will go tuition free if your family makes less than $125,000 a year. and it will be debt free for everybody above that. so you don't go into debt. for people who already have student that, we are going to help you pay it down and pay it off to get out from under it. i want especially to support historically black colleges and universities who have done so much to bring forth leadership in our country.
6:33 am
this is just some of what we are offering in this campaign. we believe you need to look at what will happen after the election. a friend said to me, people are just frustrated and angry. i get that. i understand that. we had the worst economic collapse since the great depression in 2008 and 2009. millions of people lost their jobs. millions lost their homes. family wealth was wiped out. that is a trauma. people are still suffering and still climbing back from that. i get it. but i learned a long time ago from my late mother anger is not a plan.
6:34 am
right? be angry. then roll up your sleeves and get to work. that is what i will do. [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, 0 [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, caller: that is why we put this on our website. hillaryclinton.com. not only do i want you to know what i will try to do as your president, i want you to hold me accountable. i want you, when i come back to detroit, which i will do, when i travel around michigan, which i will do, i want you to say how is it going getting those new job started? how much progress are we making sure college is affordable? i believe in making lists. maybe it is a woman thing. [cheers and applause] my husband once said to me, you have lists of your lists. well, i do. i want to know what we are going to get done and how we can make progress together, and ultimately this election is about the kind of country we want for our kids, and in my case, now my grandkids.
6:35 am
are we a nation that believes in freedom and justice for all? are we really a nation that recognizes our best years can be ahead of us if we make up our minds to have that be our goal? i believe we can do it together. my up and said, i alone can fix it. nobody alone does anything. when our founders met in philadelphia, it wasn't one person creating our country. it was many people working together and fighting a revolution to get that democracy, and to fight for civil rights, and voting rights,
6:36 am
and women's rights, and lgbt rights. none of them were won by one person alone. the american labor party didn't happen because one person said i can make it happen. barack obama wasn't put into the white house by one person alone. it took everybody working and organizing and voting. that is how progress happens in america. so really, it comes down to you, my friends. you have to vote. our progress is on the line. everything that has happened until this point is on the line. i'm ready to defend and build on the progress that we have made.
6:37 am
i am proud i was a member of president obama's cabinet. i'm proud he and i are friends. but he knows and i know american leadership, american presidents, it is like running a relay. you do your very best and then you pass on the baton and hope the person you pass it off to doesn't drop to the ground or doesn't run back the way we came from, which is what my opponent is promising to do. now, i have told the president, when he hands off the baton, he is going to have to bend over because he is a lot taller than i am -- but i am excited about what we can do. there has been a tough campaign. people are saying they have migraines they never had before. they had stomachaches they don't know what they are going to do with. i get it. it has been a really tough campaign.
6:38 am
but i will tell you what, michigan, you could make the difference. all i am asking you is to talk to your friends, talk to your family, talk to your coworkers, talk to everybody. if you have time to volunteer, go to hillary clinton.com to volunteer. or text join to 47246. when your children -- there are beautiful children in this crowd today -- when your children or grandchildren ask what you did in 2016 when everything was on the line, i want you to be able to say, i voted for a better, stronger, fairer america. [cheers and applause] an america where we build bridges, not walls. [cheers and applause]
