in senator8 races mark kirk, a republican in illinois, being challenged by congresswoman tammy duckworth. give us the highlights of that race. guest: this is the race that democrats feel extra me confident in. we have not seen outside groups money.ny that is the clear signal that neither party thinks this is a competitive race. for center kir - -for senator kirk, illinois is a blue state. it's going to vote for hillary clinton probably by an overwhelming margin. it represents a really tall order for republicans to be able to win the state in a presidential year. senator kirk won his first election in 2010. 2016 is a different electorate. senator kirk is the only type of republican who could win in that state. but he has not been disciplined

in his message. he has made some mistakes. he made comments during a debate about tammy duckworth's family history, her background. that was seen as an inappropriate joke. he had a couple of groups actually, a group pull an endorsement. it was an uphill climb from the beginning and then senator kirk has not run the best campaign. overall, that means it is a very difficult race. from springfield, tennessee, from our republican line. caller: good morning. ask, how do we know what polls are accurate and why? my state of tennessee, we do not let people vote if they have a felony record. i wanted to get your thoughts on that and i will hang up and let you answer. guest: the question on the polls is an interesting one, because we won't really know until election day which polls are accurate and not. i'll give a shout out to real

clear politics. that is why averages are so important. you can take a number of polls average them and together and you will get a little better of a snapshot. we've seen problems in the past. the 2010 nevada senate race is a clear example of this. the polls showed harry reid in a very tiny race, - tight race. points.ran away by six harry reid has made this point very clear. he does not think much of public polling data. i think right now one of the things about polls was there has been a lot of volatility. especially in states like pennsylvania, things have gone back and forth. we have seen social polls showing katie mcginty up double digits and some showing pat toomey up double-deckers. keep an eye on the averages. and know for the most part, not every single poll is going to be

accurate but for the most part they give a good snapshot of where the rice is. -- race is. it is possible some of these polls are going to miss the mark. host: tim on our democratic line. caller: good morning. with respect to the close senate races but also to ohio, because i live in ohio, has the second amendment proven to be an issue or not? if it has, which party does it hurt? the second amendment is important in some races. we have seen democrats this year a little more than they've been willing to in the past run on a platform of gun control. they think politically this has become an easier issue. in years past, you with the democrats not wanted to talk about gun control. it wasn't a convincing political issue for them.

and that has changed now. meanwhile, republicans are running same as they ever have. they want second amendment voters on their side. they don't support gun control measures. it's sort of the starkest contrast that you are going to see in terms of an issue. an issuenow if it's more than any other year but i think on control measures are always going to be a big issue in senate races. selma,rancis from alabama. caller: yes, good morning. thank you for taking my call. also, i would like to appeal to the people of alabama that we need to make a choice and a change in our senate. shelby has been in office for more than 30 years. he started as a democrat. he has since changed his party. and has always done nothing for our community here in selma.

i hear people talking about the voting rights was given to him. alabama,s in selma, are still paying the price for the sacrifices we made to get that law changed. a democrat is someone we need to look at closely. he's 48 years old. shelby is 82. we always complain about age. we want another strom thurmond on our hands? i would ask people to please vote for the democrat ticket this time. we need a change in our nation. thank you. host: do you have a comment to that? guest: i think alabama is a good example where we look at the tight senate races and you forget there are a lot of races that aren't competitive. richard shelby was worried about the primary. as soon as he won the primary, his path to reelection was pretty set. the polarization in states like

alabama make these races impossible for the other party. host: let's talk about another close race, north carolina. republicano usa, senator richard burr slim the over democratic challenger deborah ross. has flipped since early fall. a lead of four percentage lease but that has fallen to less than two points as of november 2. give us the highlights of that race. guest: this is another race where democrats weren't necessarily, they did not think it was going to be a top-tier race. now you have the former state lawmaker running. i think she has run a much better campaign than democrats expected. she has been aggressive in terms of getting out, doing the leg work. and richard burr is sort of payment for not wanting to get his campaign started until after labor day. he's since become very

aggressive. he is all over the place. but this is one that i think snuck up on richard burr. you have a lot of people in washington who are frustrated with the way he ran his campaign. our average still has him with a little bit of an end to now, but they think they have a lot of material that they have been able to hit deborah ross with. she used to lobby for the aclu. and has some controversial positions that republicans have run a lot of are advertisements on. feel fairlyll confident about this. again, this is another race where the presidential -- if hillary clinton maintains her lead in north carolina that she has had in the polls, it is going to be difficult for richard burr to win. if donald trump wins it, i think richard burr is probably pretty sae. it is a 50-50 race. host: kimberly is calling from washington, pennsylvania, on our republican line.

you are on with james arkin. caller: hi, james. good morning, kevin. -- kimberly. i'm a republican. i am voting straight republican. i know the supreme court is very important. i also disagree with third term abortions. that is the same as murder. i would like to make a common to all the people calling in talking about trump and russia. very successful businessman. he had his ups and downs like everybody else, but he has great relations with people around the world. and he is not a politician. thank you. guest: that's exactly the type talking when we're about the pennsylvania senate race that is so important to pat toomey. donald trump has had his problems in this state, but he appealed to pennsylvania voter and a particular way the republicans in the past maybe haven't.

that is exactly the type of voter that pat toomey wants to hear from. straight republican ricket. -- he needs ticket. ket.state republican tic host: in nevada, folks are vying to fill the seat of harry reid. we have joe heck versus democrat catherine cortez masto. guest: this is the only race that republicans have a chance to fill this seat held by democrats. again, the implications of that are enormous for them. if they're able to flip the seat, it gives them a much bigger buffer. a large hispanic population. donald trump has had his struggles with hispanics. joe heck, the candidate, has done a great job of reaching out to the hispanic community in in noty some republicans have

republicans are confident in his ability. but there is high democratic turnout. high hispanic turnout in that race, it is going to be tough. catherine cortez masto could be the first latina senator if she wins. harry reid, we know about his ability to turn out voters. so, i ithink democrats feel confident about that one but it will be a very big state for republicans to be able to win. host: david is calling in from crab orchard, west virginia. on our independent line. caller: good morning. everybody is complaining about the republican senate blocking the supreme court justices. is anybody really out there think that if donald trump wins and the democrats take over the senate, that they will sing kumbayah and nominate his supreme court nominees? are they going to block them just like the republicans are right now. also, remember back when president obama and hillary

clinton was running for president, they promised all these things they were going to do, fix immigration. they were going to make the rich pay to include bill clinton. he said he could pay more. they had two years, almost four years, filibuster proof. and and none of these promises they promised, both of them, got done. host: let's give james arkin a chance to respond. guest: he brought up an interesting point in the supreme court in the beginning. i think you will probably see a lot of democratic opposition if donald trump is elected iand is able to nominated supreme court justice. the differences we have not seen any democratic senators saying that they would not support any justice and we try to keep the the seat open. we have seen republican say that. you have had a number of senators on either side of the aisle that are willing to give the president the right to nominate their justices. and evaluate them based on their

judicial careers and not necessarily on ideology. of course, you're always going to have senators on both sides of the aisle who are going to not support a nominee of the other party for ideological reasons. but i think there is more concerned on the democratic side that republicans would be willing to put blank it down for hillary clinton supreme court nominee. host: from winchester, virginia, on our republican line. good morning. caller: yes, good morning. i'm 70 years old, believe it or not. and i've never voted in my life. in any election. but i have registered to vote and i plan on voting for donald trump. simple because we need an outsider in washington. wholenate, the house, the establishment down there it's al l about the money. they don't worry about health

care. they do not have to worry about what their social security is going to be or how much obamacare is going to go up in their favor. host: let me also point out that if hillary clinton wins the presidency, there will be a senate special election in virginia. how do you expect that sentiment to play out if tim kaine's seat is vacated? guest: it is a question i wrote about a couple weeks ago. first off, you will have the democratic governor of virginia place someone in the seat and then there will be a special election in november of next year. a couple of factors. first off, if the senate is 50-50, this is going to loom very large. if republicans can fill the se at, they could rob hillary clinton of a senate majority within the first year of for term. the other thing is that when you look at the republican primary for who would probably be running for the seat, the list is very large.

there are a lot of republicans in virginia who are looking at in the statee believe would give consideration to it. i think you have seen some of those republicans who are very supportive of donald trump, and other republicans who have been outspoken against donald trump. talk a lot about the republican party needing to decide what direction it was to go after this election. and i think you could see that battle play out in a very specific way in a primary for that virginia special election. it is going to be really interesting. host: james arki >> coming up on sunday morning, senior counsel for the fund for religious liberty will be on to talk about religious institutions and the ongoing debate over the rights of religious groups. also joining us, the senior

correspondent for the washington examiner, talking about the senate races. be sure to watch the washington journal on sunday morning, join the discussion. ♪ us when wemost of think of winston churchill, we think of the older man sending the young men into war. but nobody knew better and few new -- knew as well the realities of war, the devastation. he said to his mother after the second war, after the -- comes there, you cannot gild it . he knew the disaster what that war was. historian talks about the early career of winston churchill in her book, hero of the empire, a daring escape and the making of winston churchill. >> he says, give me a regiment.

i want to go and fight. he ends up going with a regimen fell to- on the day it the british. and he takes over the prison and he frees the men. he puts in the former jailers and he watches as the flag is torn down and the union jack is hoisted. & sunday night on c-span's q a. >> vice presidential candidate, senator tim kaine campaigned in florida today. as recent polls show a tightening of the race in the state between hillary clinton and donald trump. here is a portion of his visit to a college in fort myers. [applause] senator kaine: hillary and i believe that we should do something similar to what president reagan did in a bipartisan way. [applause]

senator kaine: and that will involve -- helpinginvolve employers figure out the employees, status of and it will involve a path for citizenship for those who are following laws. and undergo background checks. [applause] senator kaine: we want to do this together. democrat and republican, you have the chamber of commerce, agriculture and technology, mayors and governors and church immigrations. there is broad consensus. in the senate and we have not been able to get the house to take it up. but americans like the idea of reform. on the other side, donald trump

basically wants to build a wall and have a deportation nation. he wants to deport 16 million people. imagine if the 11.5 million were here. he also says come up or .5 million u.s. citizens, they are citizens club if they were born to parents who were here undocumented, they should be part of the deportation. [boos] senator kaine: i don't want to live in a nation where officials are going house to house and business-to-business and school to school to the port 16 million people. -- two deport 16 million people. [applause] senator kaine: so, let me just rolling,en i get sometimes i can -- i am a u.s. senator and i like to talk. this is the important thing. it is close.

this is import and folks all over the country. i like where we are. i would rather be us than them, especially because i have you on my side. i know i'd rather be us. but the last thing i want to tell you is, we cannot take anything for granted. look at even when we the polls right now, they can tighten and they can be wrong. we cannot take it for granted. we of the government of russia and the director of national intelligence who says, along with the intelligent staff, undertaking steps to attack before the election. remember, that was impeachment when president nixon wasn't going in and try to take -- it is more than that. it is hacking into the e-mails of colin powell, tapping into the states who are having the elections.

we cut them doing that. we have never seen it. we cannot take anything for granted. we cannot take anything for granted. up forrying to set afterwards when he can complain and whine. he can whine all he wants. everybody will know that those are just the words of a sore loser. [applause] senator kaine: that is what we are going to do. we cannot take anything for granted, because it would be good to have a congress and a senate coming to work. the better we do for hillary, the more people we will put in office and work on the issues. and then the last thing. the last reason we cannot take anything for granted -- hillary is trying to do something that has never been done before. it has not been easy.

easy to have a woman president, we would've had a woman president. this will surprise you. is 19%ow, congress women, that is the most it has ever been. there is my punchline. that is 75th in the world. the best we have ever been, we are below the world average with the percentage of women we have any legislative body. womenq, the percentage of is 26%. we are at 19%. afghanistan, it is 28%. good at so many things, we are so good at some many things with respect to women, but a great nation should be willing to look in the mere -- mirror and say, here is something we are not good at. we are exactly that when electing women to federal office. so nobody should think this is

going to be a breeze because hillary is trying to do something that has never been done. there are people in this room that have tried to do something that has never been done. in your own personal life, your neighborhood, your family and workplace, in your schools -- you have tried to do something that has never been done. you know how hard it is great at that everybody in this room can relate to that. you have tried to do something that was a dream of yours. that you had people tell you, the time is not right for you. there is somebody else. you are not the most qualified. you should consider doing something else. you have had people pour cold water on you when you tried to go after a dream. i think that is a universal human experience. i will tell you, hillary clinton has -- this is a profession more for men and it will be hard, how come she does not smile more likable?r be more

she has been running into a headwind all her life. i know that she does not take anything for granted. what do you do at the end of the day when it is so important and you are trying to make easy -- you are try to make history. what we do for the next three days? i will give you a tip. i am assuming everybody is voting. i want you to rev up. here is my tip. i will play something good about me into something that. my -- i'm going to win. i do not lose elections. you can beat me at scrabble, trivial pursuit, but i do not intend to lose. that is a good thing. that thing is i barely went. -- win.

i am 8-0 for today, but i am barely likable enough. and in politics, that is not that. there is no other depression where you can be at 53% you to be a winner. it doesn't work except in an election. is i runn i barely win in virginia. we are barely blue. run and win, or run like hillary is doing against a headwind and when, we need to have to have discipline. and this is what i tell myself in every race i have ever run. i am the underdog until they, the winner. i am the underdog until they call me the winner. and i want you to put that thought in your head. i am the underdog until they call me the winner. that will give you the discipline over the next couple of days. it is not just about the

election. it is about life. it is about life. >> we love you. senator kaine: i love you guys. [applause] senator kaine: thank you. this is about life. what is it about democrats? i used to wonder about that. -- i have been the committee chair and i have seen the environmental guys and delivery guys into overtime i would see that we democrats are bigg, quirky, eccentric, family. i say it with love and affection. and i do not believe in andnized politics, -- said, that is why i am a democrat. years later it is true. continuouslyldest operated political party. what is it that unifies us? and it struck me, we are underdogs. we are underdogs.

i do not know if it is our dna come up but we are underdogs. people who have a sense of being underdogs. in my church we talk about a story that is well-known. somebody is at the side of the road who is beaten up and they need help. and they are asking for help. and everybody is on the road and they are all on the road and there are a lot of people walk by and they know better, there are leaders, religious leaders, people who are smart. and they walk on by. and i bet back in the day, somebody walked by and said, you are a loser. that is probably what happened. [laughter] senator kaine: in the story, the american in the story is in outcast -- an outcast. in a marginalized position. this is not a story about

yesterday. this is a story about today and tomorrow. that person and that america has somewhere to go. there is something that he was doing. help, person that needed i set aside what i'm doing and i go over and help. you know this. in every zip code in florida, virginia and every zip code in the country, there is somebody on the side of the road. they might have been a victim of violence, in a neighborhood, victim of a shooting like the tragedy in orlando. and families torn up. it might be a person grappling with a cancer diagnosis or who is figuring out how to afford college. and might be somebody getting bullied. and it might be somebody that made a mistake when they were younger and they are looking for somebody to give them a second chance. they be somebody that just needs

a friend. you know i am talking about. this is a story about today. there are people on the side of the road asking for help. and we are all on the road. we have a choice. do we just walk by, or do we decide to go over? the thing that is cool about this story is, you do not have to have all of the answers. you do not have to have any of the answers. you do not even have to know the words to say. all you have to do is just say, i will roll up my sleeves and i will help, i will figure it out. instead of thinking about me, i will put somebody else and the needs of someone else at the same level of my own and i will help this person. hillary clinton is not a person that will walk on by. i will not walk on by.

i do not think that you are people that will just walk on by. you put that underdog mentality in your head. with an attitude of let be helpful. -- let's be helpful. and we will have the energy we need to face off against donald trump and anybody else, and when a big election on november 8. remember what i told you, if you do it in florida, it is done. it is done. let's go in. -- win! thank you guys, good to be with you. [applause]

♪

>> hillary clinton was in michigan yesterday for a campaign rally in detroit. this is just under an hour. >> ♪ rise up and i will do it a thousand times again you, youfor

, you is we need for that we have each other. up, we will rise up we will rise i will rise up rise like the day ♪ ms. clinton: hello, detroit! [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: thank you. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: i will tell you --

i am so glad to be back in michigan. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: and that introduction -- i'm just vibrating from it. i thank my longtime friend, reverend wendell anthony, for giving us some of the best lines that we have had in the whole campaign. thank you. there is something special about this place, and some of you may have recognized the song that was playing when i came in -- an amazing anthem sung by the called "risea day up." 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 big enough for everyone. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: i am looking forward to working with the great team you have here in detroit, and in michigan. i want to thank your senators, i want to thank 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.

wayne county executive lauren evans, sheriff benny napoleon. the president of the uaw, dennis williams. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: ms. clinton: 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. [cheers] ms. clinton: now, are you ready to vote on tuesday? [cheers and applause]

are you ready to volunteer to get everybody out to vote? [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: are you ready to choose our next president and commander in chief? [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: did any of you see the three debates that we had? [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: 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. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: he kept saying a lot of unusual things, didn't see? and, you know, there is a certain preparation you do to be ready for those debates. of course, i did it, because i think you should prepare to be president of the united states. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: and i did practice

my composure. people said to me, how did you do that? the things he was saying, and in that 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 spend hours saying terrible things to me, so i was ready. but he would say, what have you done for 30 years? and, you know, i don't want to brag. [laughter] [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: but i do think it matters what you have done, and especially what you have done that maybe improved somebody else's life.

right? 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. [cheers] ms. clinton: these are families that are not poor. they are working people. but they don't make enough money, and they don't work for somebody who provides insurance. very often, their kids were 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 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 that 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 care that every child in this country should be able to have, by the way. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: and when i was in north carolina, i heard about her, and i got to meet her, and more than that, 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 have.

[applause] ms. clinton: 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 that 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. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: 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 helping to get health care for the brave first responders who ran toward danger, not away from it. our police, our firefighters, our emts. [cheers and applause] and i will tell you

who else we got 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. [cheers] ms. clinton: 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. [cheers] ms. clinton: as your secretary of state, i went to 112 countries, negotiated cease-fires, reduced nuclear weapons, stood up for women's rights, human rights, and lgbt rights. [cheers and applause]

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. that is why tim kaine and i have run a campaign based on ideas and issues, not insults. because if you really take a look at what is at stake in this election, it is a choice between two very different visions for america.

i have got to say, 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. [cheers] ms. clinton: 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 and we set some goals and we go after them. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: you see, we believe in an america that is bighearted, not small minded. we believe in an america that is already great, but can be

greater if we do our part. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: 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. and i believe with all my heart , that is why the slogan of my campaign sums it up -- that we are stronger together. [cheers] so, come next january 20, america is going to have a new president. [cheers] ms. clinton: i know -- i know

that -- 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? [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: are we going to build a stronger, fairer, better country? or are we going to fear the future and each other? >> no! ms. clinton: 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 that does not have early voting. i have been all over the country going to states that already are voting. i don't know, about 31 million to 32 million people have

already voted in those states. but michigan votes on tuesday. [cheers] i imagine there are some of you who know people who say they are going to vote for donald trump, right? [boos] ms. clinton: i know. i know. i understand that. i mean, i would hope you would try to stage an intervention before it's too late. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: but maybe you could ask them with you to imagine january 20, 2017. imagine that my opponent is taking the oath of office in front of the capitol. [boos] ms. clinton: imagine having a president who demeans women,

and mocks the disabled -- [boos] ms. clinton: who insults african-americans and latinos and muslims, who personally engages in busting unions and preventing people from having the rights to bargain collectively. [boos] ms. clinton: the truth is, 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 -- [cheers and applause] she said the presidency does not change who you are, it reveals who you are. [applause] ms. clinton: 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. [cheers and applause] and 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. [boos] ms. clinton: what is he talking about? i am proud that president obama saved the auto industry. [cheers] ms. clinton: and i am even prouder that because of the hard work of people in detroit, across michigan and the midwest,

the u.s. auto industry just had its best year ever. [cheers] 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. [boos] ms. clinton: 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. [boos] ms. clinton: he has no idea about the strength of the black church and the vibrancy of black-owned businesses, the excellence of historically black colleges and universities. [cheers] ms. clinton: he seems to know nothing about the rise of a new

generation of black activists and the success of black leaders in every field. [cheers] ms. clinton: i think he needs a visit from reverend wendell anthony, don't you? [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: 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 that she could afford to rent, but donald trump and his father , fred, turned her away. whenever african-americans try ied to rent trump apartments, their application was marked with a c. c for "colored." [boos] and that did not sit very well with me, so she went to the authorities. eventually, the department of justice sued the trump's for

housing discrimination. [cheers] ms. clinton: although they settled, they would not change. the government had to take them back to court. that is 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? [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: he has such a casual disregard of our constitution. he does not seem to understand that we role of law -- really are a nation of laws, not men. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: here is the latest example. there was a terrible crime back in 1990 in new york city. it was called the central park

five. maybe some of you have heard of it. they 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 for the kids. even after they were exonerated by dna evidence and seminoles confessed that terrible crime, trump -- and as someone else confessed that terrible crime, 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] [applause] ms. clinton: no wonder he admires vladimir putin. that is exactly what putin does to his people.

[applause] ms. clinton: 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 -- [cheers and applause] we have three big challenges. number one, we have got to get the economy working for everyone, not just those at the top. [cheers] ms. clinton: number two, we have to keep our country safe and we have to work with our allies to leave the world with strength and intelligence for peace and prosperity. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: and number three, we have got to bring our country together. we have got to overcome these

divides. we have to heal our nation. and i hope that you will help me meet all three of those challenges. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: i have said repeatedly that we are going to 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 what we are seeing across our country because of his campaign. a church of mississippi was burned this week. oneone painted "votes trump" the side and then set it on fire. we can't let that happen. what happened in flint, michigan, should not be normal or acceptable.

[cheers and applause] our kids should be guaranteed clean air and clean water. those are basic. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: we have got to do and 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. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: some people say we cannot do that. i am telling you, they are wrong. we have the best workers, the most productive workers. we are going to give them more to work on, more products to produce. [cheers and applause]

ms. clinton: and we are going to do more for small business. small business is the backbone of so many communities. and i want everybody to have the chance to succeed in america. that means we are going to dismantle the so-called school to prison pipeline and replace it with the cradle to college pipeline. [cheers and applause] and we are going to make sure that every child has the chance to go to a good school with good teachers, no matter what zip code that child lives in. [cheers and applause] ms. clinton: and i want to start with our youngest kids. with 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.

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] ms. clinton: it will be important that we create an environment in which our police and communities can work together and trust each other. ms. clinton: i believe that we are all safer when everybody has respect for the law and everybody respects the law. that is what we will work for. stepsl take commonsense to renew gun laws that save lives. [applause] has nothing tois

do with the scare tactics coming from my opponent. have you seen that he is wearing a camouflage hat now? really? we are going to work with responsible gun owners who toerstand that we have got keep guns out of the hands who should not have done in the first place. -- have them in the first place. [applause] while we create more safe communities, we want to invest in those communities. i want to continue the good work that our past two great presidents have done. one named clinton, one named obama. [applause] ms. clinton: and i want to be a

really strong partner. i will compete a little with them. i want to be a really strong partner with detroit and other cities that are on the way back up. we want to make sure you get the investment and the support to housing and the jobs that you need. but we also have to make sure that the economy is fairer. that is why i believe that we should raise the national minimum wage. people who work full should not be left in poverty. full-time should not be left in poverty. [applause] ms. clinton: and isn't it time that we have equal pay for women? woman's issue. have a mother, a wife, a daughter, it is your 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 was, if standing up for equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in. [applause] of thenton: and one other big challenges we will take on, i am so excited about of the am really proud campaign that bernie sanders and iran. that was a campaign about issues. [applause] ms. clinton: what we decided after it was over was how we could work together to make sure that everyone wants to go to college can go, not just to

start, but to graduate. plan that up with a if you go to a public college or university, you will go to wish and pray if you're family makes less than $125,000 per year. [applause] ms. clinton: and it will be debt free for everybody. you won't go into debt. [applause] ms. clinton: and for people who already have students that, we are going to help you pay it down and pay it off to get out from under it. [applause] and i want to support historically black colleges and universities that have done so much to bring forth the leadership in our country. of what we areme

offering in this campaign because we really believe that you have to look at what will happen after the election. i had a friend said to me the other day, people are just frustrated and angry. i get that, i understand that. we had the worst economic collapse since the great depression and 2008 and 2009. millions of people lost their jobs. millions lost their homes. the wealth was wiped out. that was a,. -- that was a trauma. from my late mother that anger is not a plan. [applause] ms. clinton: be angry, that's about it, then roll up your sleeves and get to work. [applause] ms. clinton: that is what i will do.

that is why we put all this down. our website. hillary clinton.com. it is in a book that tim kaine and i put out. to do whent i wanted i and your president. i want you to hold me accountable. i want to come back to detroit, which i will do when i travel around michigan, which i will do. -- how issay how it i it going getting those new jobs? i believe and make and live. maybe it is a woman thing. [applause] my husband said you have lists of your lists. i do because i want to know what we are going to get done and how we can make progress together.

ultimately, this election is really about the kind of country we want for our kids. in my case, now my grandkids. i we a nation that believes in freedom and justice for all? are we a nation that recognizes our best years can still be ahead of us if we make up our if we make up our minds to do that. [applause] ms. clinton: my opponent said that i alone can fix it. no, nobody alone does anything. when our founders met in philadelphia, and was not one person creating our country. it was many people working together and fighting a revolution. to fight for civil rights and worker rights and women's rights and lgbt writes. were won by

.ne person alone it took many people marching, speaking out and moving forward. barack obama was not put in the white house i one person alone. it took everybody organizing and voting. that is how progress happens in america. [applause] ms. clinton: so really, it all comes down to you my friends. you have to vote. our progress is on the line. everything that has happened up until this point is on the line. i am ready to defend and build on the progress that we have made. i am proud that i was a member of president obama's cabinet.

i'm am proud that he and i are friends. know thatws and i american leadership, american presidents, it is like running a relay. you do your very best and then you pass off the baton and you hope that the person you pass it off to does not drop into the ground. or doesn't turn around and buy back the way we came from. that is what might opponent is promising to do. [applause] ms. clinton: i told the president that when he has up the baton, he will have to bend over, he is a lot taller than i am. but i'm excited for what we can do. to me people coming up saying they have migraines that they have never had before. they have stomach aches that they don't know what they will do with. i get it. it has been a very tough campaign. tell you what, michigan, you can make the difference.

[applause] ms. clinton: all i'm 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 or text join. because, when your children, there are some beautiful children and his crowd today, when your children or grand inldren ask what you did 2016 when everything was on the line, i want you to say that i voted for a better, stronger, there are -- fairer america. [applause] ms. clinton: an america where we build bridges, not walls. where we prove, once and for all

that love trumps hate. let's get to work. thank you detroit, thank you michigan, god bless you.

hillary clinton travels to a voting event. watch that live here on c-span. vice president biden rallies for clinton in pennsylvania. then at 1:00, we will bring you a campaign rally with the donald trump. later in the day, president obama visits orlando, florida for an event of a gets underway at 3:25 p.m. eastern. >> in the latest edition of time magazine and available online, how the media got smarter about elections. thank you for being with us. we appreciate it. how so?

early 2000, the media, they messed up, a lot. election fore 2000 bush, and then neither, cataloguing this electoral crisis. in the wake of that, they put their heads together and changed a few things. they formed the national election book. they said they would not call it based on election poll results before they had the final polls closed. that was a major difference. that was beginning in 1980. the network would call elections.

they actually chose to put it into quarantine. five, the big stations, they all send people to a room with no phones, no computers, no tablets, where they look at this election data all day long. and they analyze it, question it, poke it, prodded. that is the individual outlets before the polls close. inand this begins at 6:00 the morning east coast time on election day and continues throughout the day. how does edison research to determine when they -- where

they send canvassers, and what are they asking? >> that is a great question. edison research sends out more than 1000 surveyors, and ap has that own army of members have about 4000 more people reporting back from the county seat. there is an absolutely enormous number of people on the ground. hired by the big media outlets as part of that national and they actually come up with the questions on this questionnaire. is a one-page questionnaire with two sides, so two pages. about 20 questions. we do not know what those are right now, but they were arrived abc, andmittee with everybody else.

they will go out to randomly selected precincts. that is actually an interesting difference. they will not choose key precincts, not necessarily in key swing areas. they are randomly selected. that will be whatever data they get, about 100,000 people leaving the polls. that information will be combined with telephone polls that edison research has been ,onducting over the last week with people who have voted early and absentee voters. do you know why they voted the way they did? , we dohat questionnaire not know what is exactly on her.

every absentee voter is asked who they voted for in the state and national elections. they will be asked why, their general feelings about the major candidate, and they'll be asked about which issues are important to them. on this particular questionnaire there are questions about debt, euthanasia, marijuana, topline issues. we have come along long way since 1948 when the chicago tribune -- >> of that is right, the said dewey defeats truman. you do not want to screw it up that badly. is a very robust understanding, they talk to a lot of people in that quarantine around. feeling thatofound

this time they absolutely have to get it right. most of the vote has been counted, but it is a tight race and the loser could still pull out. >> we will look for you reporting. thank you for being with us. . >> of election night on c-span, watch the results of a part of the national conversation. headquarters,ight and watch victory and concession speeches. live at 8:00 p.m. eastern and throughout 24 hours, listenive on c-span, or to live coverage with our radio app. >> this week, c-span has been showing talk radio shows from

around the country. a portion of the mike gallagher radio show from new york city, where he talks with florida senator marco rubio, and eric trump, the son of the presidential candidate. this is about 45 minutes. mrs. clinton: it is good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of laws in this country. mr. trump: because you will be in jail. >> here is mike gallagher. you may notr: believe me, but there are only four days to go. four days away from this election, so much anxiety in the country. friends turning on friends, family members arguing with family members. holy cow. what a year it has been. a nice behind-the-scenes look at the mike gallagher show if you

2ant to watch it today, c-span is simulcasting our radio show. with the viewers on commercial breaks. or maybe you do not find it me, you find it incredibly dreadful. show, asan watch the hopefully you have listened to it over the years. there is extraordinary momentum that donald trump enjoys right now. will it be enough? we will know tuesday. besides the presidential race which seems to have a all the oxygen out of the proverbial room, very important senate and races, florida of course, a state the whole country always watches. marco rubio was elected senators of florida in 2010. he was of course a presidential

reelection as well. we are very pleased to welcome senator marco rubio back to the mike gallagher show. how are you doing? mr. rubio: very well, thank you. mr. gallagher: are you glad it is over what you going to do? it has been a phenomenal experience. you are talking about it, after last friday, is the combination of knowing is the last four days, and with the revelations on friday, another fbi investigation. and a very prominent donor from a wealthy saudi arabian family gave him about $400,000 over the year. he is under investigation from the fbi. it is really unreal. i was due in the state of florida.

hillary clinton and patrick murphy have people under fbi investigation. would not want to be them, i suppose. much --agher: i would rather be where you are sitting. it fascinates me how democrats can continue to circle the ofons, despite the evidence things that can be really, really bad news. your race is a good example of that. even obama goes to florida, takes apart shot at you this week, pokes fun at you, supporting your opponent. it is pretty notable the way the democrats constantly protected their own, yet we republicans sometimes eat our own. yes, and mostk interesting, i thought a video last night, democrat after , when james comey said

the investigation was over, they said they loved it. then the news comes friday that they had to reopen the investigation into hillary clinton because of the stuff computer,ny weiner's now he is a terrible and horrible guy. but the videos are there for the world to see. hypocrisy -- when the supreme court roles and they do -- or in favor of something they life, they say we have to honor the court, the court has spoken. they get away with it for whatever reason. the way it is covered is just different. to your point about james comey, it is fascinating, obama aides, the chief advisor, urged the president to fire comey after

the election. watergate look like a little walk in the park. some of this stuff seems so corrupt and frankly, unbelievable. they get away with it and it emboldens them to do more. they get away with it come us that continue to do more of it. of him sayingp what an incredible person james comey is and how well respected he is, now he says he has violated the hatch act. but they don't get beat up in the press for days about it. they say they can act with impunity. headlines, but we're not going to be brutalized the way the other side is. that in many ways contributes to some of the chatter they have. the good news i believe is that voters, real people in daily life. senator marco is

joining us. you talk about disproportionate media coverage, we know how it is biased. this fbi coverage with hillary has been overwhelming, yet the media is not too inclined to cover a lot of it. what about florida, in the race you are in? you widened your lead in the polls. things seem to be going well for you. how have you been treated, media-wise, in comparison to the way trump has been treated, nationally? sen. rubio: i do not spend a lot of time complaining about it, one way of or another. the biggest bias is that they move toward scandal and outreach. campaignr donor to my was under fbi investigation for illegal campaign contributions, every major network in the country would be down here chasing that story. it is by and large not receiving

as much attention that it would be if it were the other way around. you can talk it up how you want, but that is the reality. we deal with it, it will be a close race here in florida. i encourage people, we need their help down the stretch. harry reid to spend $1 million down here. my opponent gave him another $1 million. get, iall the help i can encourage people to go to my website, marcorubio.com. mr. gallagher: senator, anticipating your victory, we do not take it for granted, you have to bite and -- you have to fight and vote for senator rubio in florida. what about working with a potentially president donald trump? guy on like anyone who has run for president, we have never seen anything like this before. we will be in uncharted waters.

do you feel optimistic, positive about what congress will be like working with a president donald trump, should he win? sen. rubio: is clearly an andthodox candidate. donald i do have disagreements on foreign policy and things of that nature. at the end of the day, my obligation is to the constitution of the state of florida. first and foremost i will stand for those things, no matter who is president. even if someone is in my own party, if he is out of line or a propernominate supreme court justice, i will stand up to him. but i can guarantee you i will -- that will happen if she is elected. said, they divide -- the founding fathers divided powers so it would not be concentrated in the hands of one person. i think we have lost that over the years.

congress needs to focus on the oversight and lawmaking process. under both parties, the presidency has become more powerful than it was ever intended to be. our system works best when we have a balance and he keeps everyone in line. we have had republicans in the past that have done things that were perhaps not good ideas. assure you that if hillary clinton wins, it will be all the time, every day, every issue. i think she will move further to the left, not right. nightmare of she were to be elected, i do not even want to think about what this country will be like. i have to tell you, senator rubio, in closing, i have great admiration for you and great respect. it cannot have been easy. trump went out you will harden there is no question that for many people, one of the reasons for their uncomfortableness with donald trump, the things he said in your direction, it had to be difficult to say, i will put that in the past and support the

republican nominee because we cannot let hillary clinton get into the white house. i think i speak for millions of americans and floridians when i say, kudos to you for being able to do that. because it could not have been easy. sen. rubio: the election is not about me, is about the country. a choice. i do disagree with donald on many things, as well as hillary. i lived up to a commitment that i made. line, it was never about me. this is always about america, whether it was me or someone else. i want the country to move and the right direction after eight years of moving in the wrong direction. about me andit was my personal feelings or how things played out. it was the plan that i not win,

i have other things planned for my life, in or out of politics. i cannot wait for them. mr. gallagher: i cannot, either. i believe we will hear from senator rubio for years to come. thank you for taking time to join us here on the mike gallagher show. keep fighting the good fight. sen. rubio: i ask everyone to go to my website to please help, markerrubio.com. mr. gallagher: thank you, senator. a thank you for joining us. 800-655-mike. interesting way he had of putting that. attention,, home to republican party and the candidate and vote for donald trump on tuesday. you can do it. -- if hugh hewitt
