12:00 pm
because these steps will help pay for the investments we need in jobs and education without increasing our national debt. in fact, every program i have proposed in this campaign, i'll tell you how i will pay for it. now, donald trump and i disagree on a lot of things, and one of them is simple math. and finally, here's our fifth goal. let's put families first and make sure our policies match how you actually work and live in the 21st century. families look a lot different today than they did 30 years ago, and so do our jobs. the movement of women into the workforce has produced enormous economic growth over the past few decades. but with women now the sole or
12:01 pm
primary bread winner in a growing number of families there's more urgency than ever to let americans be good workers, good parents and good caregivers all at the same time. the old model of work where you could expect to hold a steady job with good benefits for an entire career is long gone. people in their 20s and 30s have come of age in an economy that's totally different. and a lot of young parents are discovering just how tough that is on families. many people have wildly unpredictable schedules or they cobble together part-time work or they try to go independent. now, flexibility can be good. but you shouldn't have to worry that your family could lose your health care or retirement savings just because you change jobs or start a small business.
12:02 pm
[ applause [ applause ] why do you think every other -- [ crowd chanting "hillary" ] i have to ask, why do you think every other advanced country has paid family leave? do you think they're just unrealistic or do you think they have figured out they can have a stabler economy, they can support families? and that's what i want us to do. working families need predictable scheduling, earned sick days and vacation days, quality affordable child care and health care. these are not luxuries. they're economic necessities. and in today's economy benefits should be flexible, affordable, and comprehensive for everyone. and that means it's time to expand social security as well.
12:03 pm
especially, especially for older women who are widowed or have taken time out of the workforce to care for a loved one and what are suffering financially because of that. we need to look to a secure retirement for everyone. and to provide families relief from crushing costs and health care, housing, prescription drugs. i looked at the numbers. n. some states two parents earning the minimum wage have to spend up to 35% of their income on child care. for a single parent it could be 70%. so i have set a goal. families should not have to pay more than 10% of your income for child care. and i will repeat today what i have said throughout this campaign. i will not raise taxes on the
12:04 pm
middle class. i will give you tax relief to help ease these burdens. and you know, whenever i talk about these family issues, donald trump says i'm playing the woman card. right? well, you know what i say. if fighting for child care, paid leave and equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in! now, look, here's what i want you to understand. it may be difficult to imagine all this getting done when washington is so broken. i get that. but i really think progress is possible or i would not be standing up here running to be president of the united states. i know republicans and democrats can work together, because i've
12:05 pm
done it. as you heard alicia say, i helped create the children's health insurance program when i was first lady. that happened with support from both parties. and it now covers 8 million kids. and when you go to get health care for your child, nobody says are you a republican or a democrat? they say, what does your child need? i worked with republicans many times when i was a senator from new york and as secretary of state. so i know we can get results that will make real differences in people's lives. i know however it's rare. there's no question we need to make washington work much better than it does today. and that means in particular getting unaccountable money out of our politics. one of the reasons 24 election is so important is because the
12:06 pm
supreme court hangs in the balance. we need to overturn that terrible supreme court decision citizens united and then reform our whole campaign finance system. this is about our democracy, but it's also about our economy. campaign finance reform and reducing the power of special interests is directly related to getting washington working for people again. making the right investments. putting your jobs and economic security first. that's why i'm passionate about this issue and i will fight hard to end the stranglehold that the wealthy and special interests have on so much of our government. so let's do this together. a historic investment in jobs, debt-free college, profit sharing, making those at the top pay their fair share, putting families first in our modern economy, and a democracy where
12:07 pm
working people's voices are actually heard. that is what we are fighting for in this election. as i said, as i said during the primary, i am a progressive who likes to get things done. and we can do this! now, just for a minute compare what i am proposing to what we hear from donald trump. the self-proclaimed king of debt has no real ideas for making college more affordable or addressing the student debt crisis. he has no credible plan for improving our infrastructure,
12:08 pm
apart from his wall. he has no real strategy for creating jobs. just a string of empty promises. and maybe we shouldn't expect better from someone whose most famous words are "you're fired." well, here's what i want you to know. i do have a jobs program. and as president i'm going to make sure that you hear "you're hired." and here's the bottom line. economists left, right, and center all agree donald trump will drive america back into recession. just this week one of senator john mccain's former economic advisers said trump's policies would wipe out, wipe out 3.5 million jobs. his tax cuts tilted toward the
12:09 pm
wealthy would add more than $30 trillion to our national debt over the next 20 years. that is just astonishing. and it's no wonder that a group called the economists intelligence unit, one of the leading firms that analyzes the top threats to the global economy, now ranks a trump presidency number 3 right behind problems in china and volatility in the commodities market. now, look. i know donald hates it when anyone points out how hollow his sales pitch really is. and i guess my speech yesterday must have gotten under his skin because right away he lashed out on twitter with outlandish lies and conspiracy theories and he did the same in his speech today. now, think about it. he's going after me personally
12:10 pm
because he has no answers on the substance. in fact, he doubled down on being the king of debt. so all he can do is try to distract us. that's even why he's attacking my faith. and of course attacking a philanthropic foundation that saves and improves lives around the world. it's no surprise. he doesn't understand these things. the clinton foundation helps poor people around the world get access to life-saving aids medici
12:11 pm
medicine. donald trump uses poor people around the world to produce his line of suits and ties. here in north carolina you know as well as anyone our economy is already too unpredictable for working families. we can't let donald trump bankrupt america the way he bankrupted his casinos. we nee to write a new chapter in the american dream, and it can't be chapter 11. so please join me in this campaign. i'm offering a very different vision about how we're stronger together when we grow together. we're stronger when our economy works for everyone, not just those at the top. i am convinced that if we work hard, if we go into november
12:12 pm
with the confidence and optimism that should be the american birthright, we will not only win an election, we will chart the course to the future that we want and deserve! thank you, and god bless you! ♪ this is my fight song >> i'm trace gallagher in for shepard smith. hillary clinton wrapping up a campaign rally in raleigh, north carolina. you can see it's kind of a follow-up to her big economic speech in columbus, ohio yesterday. she spoke for about 51, 52 minutes, gave a few more specifics talking about how to eliminate student debt, how to raise wages for the middle class by creating profit sharing. and of course she also took several swipes at her opponent donald trump, who had his own big speech today. let's get live now to jennifer griffin. she's in raleigh, north carolina with the former secretary of state. jennifer, she really kind of defended the clinton foundation because trump went after the clinton foundation pretty heavy today. >> reporter: she did. and in fact, what was interesting, trace, is at first
12:13 pm
it seemed like she wasn't going to mention donald trump. in fact, as we were listening, it took her 40 minutes before she even said his name. it seemed like a re different speech. it seemed like she was just going to talk about how she was going to help the middle class create jobs, create infrastructure. and then she took a turn about 10 minutes ago and then it was one zinger after another just like she did in columbus yesterday. she ended the speech to rousing cheers when she said that this chapter of america's economic history would not end in chapter 11. she called him the king of debt. she doubled down on some of the lines yesterday that really got her the most applause. probably the moment here that people cheered the most, though, was when she talked about equal wages for women and when she also talked about the controversial north carolina law against transgender bathrooms. back to you, trace. >> a lot of the themes you'll hear again and again across the campaign trail, jennifer griffin live for us in north carolina. we're also going to talk about
12:14 pm
donald trump's speech. it was earlier today. we're going to talk much more about that coming up on "shepard smith reporting." i'm trace gallagher in new york. crowd sounds ]

12:16 pm
well, donald trump tore into hillary clinton today attacking her record as secretary of state, her e-mail scandal, her financial ties, her trade and immigration policies, and her husband, former president bill clinton. speaking at one of his hotels in manhattan, donald trump called hillary clinton a "world-class
12:17 pm
liar" and said she has spent her entire life working for special interests. >> hillary clinton has perfected the politics of personal profit and even theft. she ran the state department like her own personal hedge fund, doing favors for oppressive regimes and many others and really many, many others in exchange for cash. pure and simple, folks. pure and simple. >> trump accused clinton of "almost single-handedly destabilizing the middle east." he also claimed she wants to bring hundreds of thousands of syrian refugees to the u.s. without proper background checks. a super pac supporting clinton fired back at trump pointing out clinton has called for accepting 65,000 refugees, not hundreds of thousands, and only if they go through a vetting process. the group correct the record claims trump's speech was filled with conspiracy theories, lies, and debunked claims. quoting here, "in today's speech
12:18 pm
donald trump built on his reputation as a serial liar, touting false allegations sourced from a widely discredited book, peter schweitzer's clinton cash, claiming favoritism by the state department in exchange for large speaking fees and donations to the clinton foundation." just last month the book's publisher reported schweitzer made corrections to seven or eight passages. today trump also made a direct appeal to bernie sanders supporters, calling the american economy rigged and promising to fix it. john roberts is live at the trump soho here in manhattan. john. >> reporter: trace, good afternoon to you. it was a speech this morning that was met by praise from republicans, even establishment republicans, and derision from democrats, among them as you saw the group correct the record. donald trump went after hillary clinton like he rarely has before, taking his attacks to a whole new level. in particular focusing in on the clinton foundation and donations it has taken over the years from
12:19 pm
foreign governments that amount to millions upon millions of dollars and how trump believes that has shaped everything dealing with hillary clinton's policies from foreign policy to what she would do about immigration. listen to trump here, how sharp he is. >> hillary clinton wants to bring in people who believe women should be enslaved and gays put to death. maybe her motivation lies among the more than 1,000 foreign donations hillary failed to disclose while at the state department. hillary clinton may be the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency of the united states. >> reporter: trump went on to say the reason he believes she was using a private e-mail server was to hide the, quote, corrupt practices that she was using while she was secretary of state. something that has not been proven. but the speech drew this reaction from an establishment republican.
12:20 pm
ari fleischer who's the former white house spokesman under george bush. he tweeted "finally trump gives powerful well delivered takedown of what's long with hillary clinton." but more from correct the record this morning, "the desperate and unhinged donald trump tried to revive his sinking campaign. the trump strategy is clear. lie, lie, and if that doesn't work lie some more. all we really learned today other than the fact donald trump is a serial liar is that he can read." trace? >> and john, he really kind of went after her foreign policy decisions as well today. >> reporter: he did. you know, blaming her for everything from when she was a senator helping to launch the iraq war to helping as she was secretary of state late the groundwork for that deal that he believes strengthened iran's hand. but really going after her on benghazi, accusing her of being sound asleep while ambassador stevens and his three colleagues were fighting for their lives at that embassy compound or at least the consulate compound. listen to what he said about that. >> her decision spread death,
12:21 pm
destruction, and terrorism everywhere she touched. among the victims of our late ambassador chris stevens. i mean, she -- what she did with him was absolutely horrible. he was left helpless to die as hillary clinton soundly slept in her bed. >> reporter: we've got so much more of this election campaign to go. and trace, this could go down in history as the nastiest election ever. though we do tend to say that every four years. >> i'm just curious, quickly, john, any rapid response from the trump campaign while hillary clinton was talking for the better part of 50 minutes just now? >> you know, i have to be honest with you, trace, i've been focused on talking to you. so i haven't looxd at my twitter. but i'll check it out and get back to you. >> john roberts live for us in new york. john, thank you very much. we'll have much more ahead on trump attacking hillary clinton. we'll speak with a journalist who says the speech shows trump is changing his campaign. after firing corey lewandowski. but will it last?
12:22 pm
that and more coming up.

12:25 pm
continuing coverage now of donald trump. in a speech slamming hillary clinton. let's bring in glenn hall. he's the u.s. editor of the "wall street journal." glenn, we were just talking earlier here. it seems to me that donald trump in his speech today was really going after hillary clinton and the fact that people do not -- and the polls show a lot of people do not think she's honest and he's trying to capitalize on that right off the get-go. >> and he he wt point from many different angles, right? talking about her time as secretary of state and how she abused the office for her own personal gain. talking about her policies and her e-mail servers and all of the points along the way where the perception is that she didn't reveal the whole truth if not any of the truth. >> and it's interesting because while he was on script the whole
12:26 pm
time and the speech was fairly upbeat it seemed to me like we saw a more subdued donald trump today. he was reading along the speech. there wasn't much variation. do you see a shifting campaign here, glenn? >> i think we did see the shift that he talked about after firing corey lewandowski. we see the sort of influence of his older children who have been asking him to be more upbeat and more optimistic tone. i think we saw him stay almost perfectly on script. there were i afew deviations, he couldn't help himself, but this was the kind of message to everybody in the party that i can do the job you need me to do. >> we saw the big overreaching themes. we saw slams on hillary clinton again and again. but we saw very few specifics kind of like hillary's spch yesterday. not many actual precise ideas from donald trump. >> toward the end of the speech he laid out a couple of things. he's going to reduce regulations, repeal obamacare, and reduce taxes for everybody. so the ideas out there, big picture ideas but not precision in terms of how you get that done. >> it's interesting that he also
12:27 pm
was saying hillary's immigration policies will actually hurt african-americans and hurt hispanics. he's trying to carve out some territory there as well. >> it definitely sounded like he was trying to pick away at some of her bases of support, trying to make the point that her immigration policies, her refugee policies would actually hurt america and american workers. trump must have said the word jobs 15, 20 times. he spoke so much about the worker. he tried to make a difference between himself and clinton, saying i'm here for the american worker, she's here for herself. >> and very quickly, it seems like donald trump's things is look, i'm changing, she's the status quo. eight years ago it was all about hope and change, now he's change, she's the status quo. >> so much so he even made a direct appeal to bernie sanders supporters saying come join my revolution. >> glenn hall, good to see you. thank you, sir. a lawsuit over hillary clinton's private e-mail server moving ahead today with the man who set up that server in the hot seat. that's just ahead. i had a wonde.

12:33 pm
as we showed you, hillary clinton campaigning in north carolina this afternoon. the former secretary of state also became a grandmother for the second time over the weekend. she told supporters all americans should have the same options regardless of their circumstances. watch. >> i believe with all my heart that you should not have to be the grandchild of a former president or secretary of state to have every opportunity available to you in this country. >> earlier today clinton went to capitol hill and met with house democrats for the first time since she became the party's presumptive nominee, and she's coming off a long heated primary battle with vermont senator bernie sanders. and she's been working to win over his supporters. let's get live to mike emmanuel. he's on capitol hill for us. mike, she says she intends to compete in all 50 states. >> trace, and that certainly fired up house democrats who are hoping to add members to their ranks. they'd like to be the majority
12:34 pm
party. hillary clinton did not say much to reporters here on capitol hill. probably wanting to make sure she did not step on this afternoon's switch. but clinton got a vip arrival with house democratic leader nancy pelosi escorting her past dozens of reporters and cameras. she also got a hug from democratic caucus chair javier becerra who's mentioned as a possible clinton running mate. on her way out clinton offered this prediction. >> we are going to win this election. we're going to take back the house and the senate. >> and that certainly fired up house democrats who are not very happy about being the minority party here on capitol hill. trace? >> and what about this whole issue, mike, of democratic unity? >> well, hillary clinton has definitely tried to give bernie sanders some space. we know there have been ongoing conversations between the two campaigns about working together on issues that were important to bernie sanders. bottom line, a senior democrat in the house says there are signs of progress.
12:35 pm
>> we'll be meeting on friday in st. louis to try to hammer out some things trying to meld the positions of senator clinton and bernie sanders. and by the way, that's coming along very good so far. >> a headline out this afternoon in an interview with c-span senator bernie sanders says it appears he will not be the democratic nominee. we know he is pushing the clinton campaign to adopt a lot of his key issues as part of the democratic party's platform. trace. >> mike emanuel live for us on capitol hill. the tech specialist who set up hillary clinton's private e-mail server facing questions under oath but he did not answer any of them. bryan pagliano took the fifth like he did on capitol hill last year. his questioning is part of a lawsuit by 9 conservative group judicial watch, separate from
12:36 pm
the fbi investigation. our chief intelligence correspondent is live for us in washington. >> a judicial watch official tells fox news the deposition of clinton i.t. specialist bryan pagliano last bd an hour and a half and he invoked the fifth more than 125 times. the official said pagliano was working off an index and card and read the same crafted statement each time. the judicial watch official said they asked all of their questions and at the end they felt it was a sad day for government transparency. pagliano struck an immunity deal with the justice department as part of the fbi's ongoing criminal probe of clinton's practices. he's well within his legal rights to take the fifth and there was no immediate comment from his attorney, trace. >> meantime, the hacker has not revealed documents from the democratic national committee. >> this hack of the dnc is giving reporters a new window into the issues the clinton campaign is worried about and how they'll combat them in the process. on the use of her unsecured private server for government business the documents say that
12:37 pm
they should emphasize that the use of private e-mail was not prohibited, that federal regulations gave government officials the flexibility to determine which e-mails are public, and that she turned over more e-mails than any other secretary of state. meantime, the head of wikileaks, julian assange, who is still holed up in that embassy in london, is promising to release some of the clinton e-mails within weeks. this does suggest the clinton server was compromised by a third party and an nsa whistleblower says there's no doubt clinton and her team put ease of access to the server over security. >> even putin is saying he's going to release some of the e-mails. so you know, it shows that when you take it out and put it out in the open environment that it's vulnerable to attack from all people in the world. hackers, governments, everybody. >> a couple of final points. the state department inspector general found last month that clinton's use of a private e-mail server was against all of the government rules and secondly the clinton campaign has consistently argued that
12:38 pm
there's no evidence that the server was breached but with the claim by wikileaks which has been very authoritative and reliable in terms of the credibility of the documents this is a very difficult position to maintain in this debate, trace. >> catherine her ij live for us in d.c. catherine, thank you. senator marco rubio jumping in the race for his current senate seat after saying over and over again that he would not run for re-election. the former republican presidential candidate told fox news sunday anchor chris wallace why he changed his mind. and listen if you will to what he said about both of the presumptive nominees. >> no matter who wins this presidential election, the senate's role of being able to act as a check and balance on bad ideas from the president i think are going to matter more in 2017 than they perhaps ever have in our history. and that's saying a lot given what we're facing now. i really deeply believe i can contribute to that. >> senator rubio also said a trump presidency is worrisome to him. the decision comes just days before florida's friday filing
12:39 pm
deadline. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said this means republicans will probably hold on to that senate seat. a new quinnipiac university poll shows rubio leading his possible democratic rivals. you can see the full interview with senator marco rubio on "special report" tonight at 6:00 p.m. eastern right here on the fox news channel. well, as isis militants fight for territory in libya, president obama's nominee to lead america's forces in africa says parts of the white house strategy don't make sense. details on that coming up. i use what's already inside me to reach my goals. so i liked when my doctor told me that i may reach my blood sugar and a1c goals by activating what's within me with once-weekly trulicity. trulicity is not insulin. it helps activate my body to do what it's supposed to do release its own insulin.
12:40 pm

12:42 pm
well, officials and lawmakers in britain making their final pitch to voters ahead of the so-called brexit referendum tomorrow. analysts say if britain leaves the european union if could hurt the economy here in the u.s. because the eu is america's largest trading partner. prime minister david cameron is pushing for britain to remain in the 28-nation bloc.
12:43 pm
analysts say if he loses tomorrow he could face a lot of pressure to resign. polls seem to show the vote could go either way. supporters of brexit say it will help britain restore its identity and its place in the world. but opponents say staying in the eu is better for the british economy. well, a general president obama has nominated to lead u.s. forces in africa says he's not aware of any overall strategy to fight isis in libya. those comments came at the general's nomination hearing during an exchange with republican senator john mccain of arizona. >> the two strategic objectives we do have for libya -- >> i heard the objectives. do we have a strategy? >> to continue to support that right at this point in time. i am not aware of any overall grand strategy at this point. >> the general also said it makes no sense that the u.s. is not bombing isis in libya and he there are an imminent threat to the u.s. meantime, there's word more than 60 people died in violence across libya yesterday alone.
12:44 pm
a state news agency reports 29 people died in an explosion at a storage depot outside the capital tripoli and east of there. 36 pro-government troops died while fighting the islamic state in its stronghold. jack keen is a retired four-star general who served as vice chief of staff of the army. he is also, as you well know, a fox news military analyst. general, it's great to see you. it seems to me like general waldhauser and the administration really not on the same page here. >> well, certainly. i don't think it's a revelation that we don't have a strategy to deal with an affiliate of isis in libya because we do not have a strategy to deal with isis itself in in its center of gravity where its main headquarters is, in syria. and the president has said to us that his strategy there is to set the conditions for the ultimate destruction of isis, which means the next administration's going to do it. the general's absolutely right. >> and the general says look, we need ground troops, we need more ground troops in there.
12:45 pm
of course the administration all along, general, has been saying they prefer to do this using small teams of special forces. where do you think this ends up? >> well, first of all, special operation forces are enablers. they can't win wars. and they can't defeat major enemies. they assist in doing that. and at what they do they're the best at it. the issue here has been from the beginning. when you have a safe haven, you cannot permit that safe haven to grow and exist over time because what we've learned from 9/11, when we permitted the safe haven in afghanistan, trace, to stay there for years, we got 9/11 as a result of it. the issue here is you permit the safe haven to exist, the attacks get more frequent, more ambitious and more lethal. and that is what is happening by not destroying the safe haven in syria, and we should go going after this thing in libya full fledged out to take it down. but we're not and we don't have
12:46 pm
a plan. >> and just for context, general, the cia says there are roughly between 5,000 and 8,000 fighters in libya right now and they are kind of filling this vacuum up and the administration has said, look, the deal here is we want government to actually build, to get stronger, but then you have these rival militias fighting with the government and while they're battling it out, general, isis keeps getting stronger. >> yeah. isis, we track this every day at the institute for the study of war. we think the number's somewhere around 6,000 or 7,000 fighters and growing. there were just 2,000 to 3,000 fighters there a few months ago. and why is this important to us? well, first of all, isis will target tunisia. they already have. and eventually, as director brennan said in his testimony before congress, eventually they will target europe. so this is a safe haven. it is dangerous to the region and also dangerous to europe. and we have no plan to deal with it. >> one of the big things that came out of the nomination hearing yesterday is that general waldhauser was saying he
12:47 pm
would like the authority to actually order air strikes without having to go through the white house. what do you think of that? >> well, most military commanders who are in conflict operations do have authorities to deal with the amount of combat power they have underneath their control. what has been different about this administration is the level of control they have over military operations from the white house. it is unprecedented what we're dealing with here. so is yes, that is a public frustration and an expression by an incoming commander that he would like to have the authorities normally an operational commander has and he does not have them. >> general jack keane. general, good to see you as always. >> good talking to you, trace. it's a court ruling that could impact millions, answering the question can your boss fire you for getting a divorce? that's just ahead. your insurance company won't replace the full value of your totaled new car.
