joe camel, meet john boehner. >> it's 3:00 on the west coast. i should say on the east coast. noon on the west coast. and three in greensboro, north carolina, where hillary clinton is set to speak in a minute. her first appearance since she came town with pneumonia. we know donald trump has been talking about his medical issues put also spending time turning hillary clinton's attacks against her. we'll show you how he is doing that. plus, why republicans say they're now more optimistic about keeping control of the senate in november, and hacking the election. could moscow really influence the outcome and undermine the spire democratic process? we'll look at it.

>> good afternoon from the deck. we begin with breaking news, waiting for hillary clinton's return to the campaign trail this hour after the pneumonia diagnosis that left her on the sidelines for most of the week. she is set to speak at the university of north carolina at greensboro this afternoon. we'll take you there live when she starts. she spoke to campaign reporters today. >> welcome back to stronger together. >> how are you doing? >> i'm doing great. thank you. >> her return comes as new polls show she continues to slip in battle ground state. this poll shows donald trump as an eight-point lead in iowa. the state has voted democrat in six of the past presidential elections. donald trump's leading clinton 45-37%. the libertarian nominee, gary

johnson, has eight percent, the green party candidate, dr. jill stein, has two, and in the crucial swing state of ohio a new cnn service shows donald trump leading hillary clinton 46-41%. gather johnson with eight%. dr. jill sign with two yesterday another poll hat trump up by the same five points in ohio. and in florida, the same cnn survey shows donald trump leads secretary clinton 47-44 with gary johnson at six and dr. jill stein one percent. the margin of errors makes the result a statistical tie between donald trump and hillary clinton. politico reports democratic leaders are concern that hillary clinton's slide in the polls could heart the party's chances of taking back the senate? november and there's evidence -- we reported on republicans calling for donald trump to turn around his failing campaign. hillary clinton may have given us a preview in today's speech. in a radio interview she

recorded yesterday. secretary clinton repeatedly went after donald trump on everything from this praise of russia's vlad putin to trump's tax return. >> mistax returns out there 40 years of transparency. so i think that the real questions need to be direct toward donald trump and his failure to even meet minimummal standards we suspect of someone interesting the nominee of one of our two marriage parties. >> trump's son has weighed in on the tacoma runs. telling the pittsburgh tribune review newspaper that release his dad's complicated taxes would detract from trump's message. jennifer griffin stepped off clinton's jet and just boarded a press bess so is on the road again. status update? >> reporter: we just got off the plane, as you mentioned, and we did see hillary clinton for a

few moments. she came back to greet the press at the back of the plane. itself was clear she didn't want to take serious questions but looked more rested than the last time we saw her, i will say, and she did also come out and clear she wants to get on message. the first words she said were stronger together. she's going to be giving a speech to students at the university of north carolina. it's clear from the polls that they are very concerned that they are not getting the millenials, the young students out and they're going to be addressing them today in this speech she has given. this speech in north carolina was added after she had pneumonia. she did call into the tom join -- joyner show and was asked about the controversial e-mails. colin powell's hacked e-mails said to have been hacked bay russian affiliated hacker. here's what she said. >> i have a great deal of respect for colin powell, and i have a lot of sympathy for

anyone whose e-mails become public. i'm not going to discuss somebody else's private e-mails. i've already spent a lot of time talking about my own, as you know. >> reporter: we're on the bus right now. might be a little shaker. one of the more unusual live shots i've done. but clearly she didn't want to get drawn into the colin powell e-mail situation we reported on yesterday. >> she is again rolling if the the word deplorable, though. >> reporter: well, she is not shying away from using the word deplorable but the way she is describing it, she is not talk back group of deplorables. but pout out a statement that she shouldn't have said half but her campaign says she did not misspeak. here's what he said this morning. >> it start biz standing up and calling out the bigotry and the

hatred that we see coming from trump. he has incited violence and he has been more than willing to alie himself with the so-called "alt-right," and every deplorable thing they represent. >> reporter: we asked the campaign if they chose this spot in greensboro because thereof past controversies with the greensboro bantive church. they wouldn't say that's the reason. but the greensboro the home to the acc tournament and we heard they were going to pull the games out of north carolina due to the controversial so-called bathroom laws here affecting the transgender community adversely. so we'll be hearing from hillary clinton not long from now. >> there is anyone on the bus, somewhat famous people we might want to meet? >> reporter: who is on the bus?

well, all the press corps here. andrea mitchell. >> tell andrea hello. >> andrea is right here next to me. >> high, andrea. and we have all our colleagues. they have been on the road for 15 emergencies and i can tell you, again, i shoutout to brian kole, my camera man who is doing a stellar job keeping the shot steady. >> i just watched andrea a couple hours ago. she was in front of the plane. didn't get a lot of air time. it's rough for an anchor. >> reporter: it's rough being on the campaign trail, that's what i can tell you. >> give hearlet of love. maybe you can leave the camera up and we'll spy on the most dishonest people in all the world also the roll towards greensboro. a lot of fun. >> okay, goodbye. >> so dishonest. let me tell you've evident break

in ab stoddard. from real clear politics. >> you have my giggling. >> that is grueling work for a correspondent. forget about the candidate. keeping up this pace is impossible. i would think now that she's got a lot 0 prove on the health front because they're going to pet after her, whether publicly or behind the scenes. >> i think the fact that mrs. clinton got sick and revealed she had a serious infection 48 hours later after she was diagnosed when she nearly fell into the street, made voters nervous, and as a result i think unless she gives us her whole medical hoyt she is going to have the focus on her health, every day, at every appearance, between now and the end of the campaign and that's too bad. that's why i think she should reveal everything. if she doesn't have anything to hide. so if she looks tired again or

has a sniffle, people will know she is okay. i think the mishandled the episode and we don't even know with -- i don't know -- they've say she has a mild form of noncontagious pneumonia but we don't know if three days of arrest is enough. >> these polls, iowa, notable, ohio, is it your sense with history as your guide that this is sort of a cyclical thing youth the court of the campaign or have we seen a sea change that maybe a lot of pundits didn't anticipate? >> well, this year has been so full of surprises and i don't like to predict any kind of pattern for any kind of polling momentum lasting because anything can happen between now and the end of this campaign, and we haven't even gotten to the debates yet. so i think that there are people like to say there's a natural tightening around labor day. this is sort of a split down the middle country anyway in terms of partisan interests and voting patterns but i think that we'll see -- we'll know after november

who is able to really excite their base and turn them out. i know that donald trump's voters are enthusiastic and i think his ceiling is not that high but has been consolidating republicans which is why his numbers seem to improve. hillary clinton has had some terrible week with the fbi report, more disturbonness from their family about the clinton foundation. they're taking donations and these deplorable moment and we find out she what sick and hide agnew moan -- hiding a pneumonia diagnosis. i don't know either candidate can open up a big lead but we don't know what's coming. >> a week from monday, the debate at hofstra. is it your belief given what we

know about the two that there could be separation that begins at the debate and goes forward. >> i think. >> we are developed he is not preparing nutrition $yay and u.s. just being interviews and being on the trail and having conversations with advisers. if he comes and is prepared to discuss foreign pollsive at helping in a way he never has, in an interview or in any of the republican prime debates i think the bar is set low enough that people will be very impressed and believe he studied up and is much more ready than he seemed. if he is sort of out of control and very insulting with mrs. clinton that could be problematic for him. if she is not feeling well, problematic, if she is ang angry and defensive like in the forum last week, so there's so many variables but i do think the

outcome can often build momentum for the weeks after and make the following debates even more consequential. so it's a big night, a big three nights for both candidates. >> first one, week from monday, on fox news channel. thank you. actually on everything but you want to watch it here. if hackers hit your home computer before the get your password or pin interest or your bank account info but if they target election computers the stakers are higher. what the experts say now is real about hacking america's election. that's coming up from the fox news deck on a beautiful fall thursday afternoon in new york city.

>> hackers now targeting republicans in the latest attacks that then to meddle with our u.s. election. that's according to a law enforcement sour. the source says hackers have targetedded people linked to the g.o.p. and some attacks were successful as it was described to us. but in july, week can -- wikileaks released emems from the democratic national submit year. wikileaks leader julian assange says he'll release more material on hillary clinton before the election win. widely believe that may happen in the days before the first of the debates.

what. we don't know? have they bluffed before? have not. today national excuse leaders met to talk about the hacker threat, and the potential that russia could actually interfere in the upcoming election. catherine herridge is live in washington. it's one thing that they might be able to meddle at this stage. another entirely different thing i they can effect the out. >> they are suggesting that they could greatly undermine confidence in the system and the white house today seemed to dodge fox's questions about moscow, and whether president putin was supporting what amounts to a strategic intelligence gathering operation designed to undermine the november election. >> we're in unexplored territory here. and the president is quite

interested in trying to establish international norms, rules of the reed, about what is appropriate and what is not, and also making a determination about what is an appropriate level of response. >> reporter: it require monday follow-on action or sanctions, and not sure -- it's not clear this white house is ready to do that at this point in time. >> what does intelligence suggest about the leadup to the election? >> reporter: lawmakers briefed on the intelligence told fox news they do expect the russian backed cyber militias will intensify their campaign in an effort to undermine confidence in the voting process. now, back to your first question. it's simply not that easy to do because each state has an independent system, and some of these systems are not even attachment to the internet. that said, one lawmaker said

marred concernizing the system after 2000 created some vulnerabilities. >> i think the paper ballots are the way to go. they're recountable, there's a paper trail there. so there's never going to be an issue with people hacking into that. and they do get the election results just as fast as the computerized election equipment. >> reporter: we're also learning today that the u.s. government spy agencies are really refocusing on russia and they're expanding their human spying efforts with the cia as well as their cyber efforts with the nsa. that's clearly not a coincidence to what is going on in the intelligence picture. with the hacking. but kind of crazy to kind of come full circle and see how we're taking about paper ballots again after what we went through just 15 years ago. >> it really is. thank you. >> you're welcome. >> for the first time you'll get a chance to ask the presidential candidates questions during a general election debate. that's according to the director of the debate commission.

this year might seem better suited for the playground because the strategy comes down to i know you are, what am i? donald trump has aimed hillary clinton's attacks back at her. >> he is not just unprepared. he is tempermentally unfit. to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability, and immense responsibility. >> unstable, hillary clinton, lacks the judgment, temperment and moral character to lead this country. >> next time you see trump on tv, think about all the children listening across america. >> shoot the parents tell cheer children about hillary clinton's attacks? >> he says he has a secret plan to defeat isis, but the secret is he has no plan. >> hillary clinton is running a policy-free campaign. she offers no ideas, no solutions, and only hatred and

derision. >> see how they did that? one republican strategist says trump's tactics are a proven way to neutralize critical political attacks. jill is here. she had to expected this given who is around him and how he is conducting the cam pain that you take whatever her strength and is turn it against her or whatever bad thing she says about you and make it about her is not that surprising. >> this is a tactic that has been used for many, many years, and it's something we saw donald trump do during the primary election, something his rivals complained about. but over the last couple of week wes have seen this escalate, and it's gone from criticizing hillary clinton's temperment, which is something you could imagine all candidates wanting to lobat each other, to more specific attacks that don't necessarily seem to fit in the same way that other attacks

might. >> yet they don't fit doesn't seem to matter. nothing much does, does it? >> well, mean, let me take you through a couple of examples. the ones prow employed. trump has again criticizing hillary clinton for not producing any specific policy proposals. that's one case where donald trump has over the last couple of weeks especially been rolling out one policy proposal after the next. hillary clinton kind of front-loaded her campaign and did more of that during the primary season but one of those things word for word hillary clinton has in fact just produced more policy on tropics to some republican run strategist says it doesn't make sense for her to attack her this way. >> yet he rises. >> we're seeing right no the polls things irimproving for him. >> how do you see this same tactic playing itself out in the

days ahead? we have just got summon family care initiative from donald trump. we know what they plan to do in the next few days. you wonder how effective the tactics might be. >> we have seen donald trump do over the last week, it's embrace an area. child care, that is seen as democratic territory. he has rolled out this proposal that includes paid maternity life for all mothers, includes incentive to make childcare more affordable, and also seen him do pretty dramatic outreach compared to what he was doing before, to minority communities. he has been visiting cities like detroit, like flint, michigan. >> that it went great. >> then there's a risk there. >> the risk is you've might have a flap with the pastor. which he did yesterday. you saw that whole thing, i assume. i mean, he starts giving a political speech and she shut him town and the next day he goes back to old donald trump and rips her apart.

>> they've acknowledged his campaign officials that this is a risky strategy, that when your walking into communities where you know you're not going to be especially popular. most of their campaign events in predominantly african-american audiences has been more hand selected, he'll'll sit down at roundtable with people who want to be there. this isn't something the campaign has moved towards doing. a lot of critics say that potential live that the reason he is doing it is not nextly to build his support among minority voters but instead to speak to more moderate independent undecide voters who right now are concerned, might have worries that donald trump might be racist himself and they want some assureses he is making outreach to the communities. >> great to see you, thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> a lot of swing states that will decide this election have

one thing in common. people's paychecks. ahead how voters in some states where are the race is closest are something incomes that are slow to grow. also, the cities that are seeing the big e booms in take wyoming -- take home pay. wheres it going good in the country and if you're hoping to make mark might want to good down to dixie because life is good. hey, need fast heartburn relief?

weight, his cholesterol, blood pressure and other stuff. the doctor says they're all normal and that trump is, quote, in excellent physical health, though a bit overweight. trump discussed his medical history in a much hyped interview with dr. oz and how the stays healthy on the campaign trail. >> it's a lot of work when imspeaking in front of 30,000 people and using a lot of motion, it's pretty healthy act, and i really enjoy doing it. a lot of times these rooms are very hot, like saunas, and i guess that's a form of exercise. >> yeah. trump did say that at 236 pounds he'd like to trop a few. but he feels like he is in this 30s. there's clearly no love lost between donald trump and former secretary of state colin powell. powell and some leaked e-mails called trump a national disgrace and international pariah. in response trump tweeted i was

never a fan of colin powell after his weak understanding of weapon's mass destruction in iraq, we can do better. john roberts is in new hampshire. trump has an event scheduled this evening. what do we expect to hear from him later today? >> in the beautiful lakewood area of new hampshire. donald trump always talk about jobs, economy, national security, when he comes to new hampshire. the topics that got over well with voter in terrible to the terrible heroin in new hampshire which trump advocates it should be addressed. lateest polls in new hampshire schöpf it's a dead even race and donald trump trying to contrast hillary clinton's absence from the trail with a grueling campaign schedule and then as you mentioned releing the results of the physical he had last week. not just the doctor's letter. backed up by actual numbers, and an appearance with dr. oz today, donald trump stressing that a candidate's health is of

paramount importance in the race. >> when you're running for president you have an obligation to be healthy. i just don't think you can do the work if you're not healthy. i don't think you can represent the country properly if you're not a healthy person. >> and after spending the entire first part of the week resisting system temptation to comment on human being had gone's health problems, saying in a rally at ohio, where the room was very hot, he didn't think that hillary clinton had the stamina to make it through an hour-long rally. >> she -- trump talked about plans for the economy this afternoon. >> big speech to the economic club of new york city, where he kind of wrapped his -- all of his economy plans, tax cuts, child care, into a big ball, saying he would credit conditions as president for robust economic growth in this country. here's a bit from trump earlier today. >> over the next ten years our economic team tilts that under

our plan, the economy will average 3.5% growth and create a total of 25 million new jobs. >> that's a real bold and rosy prediction. one that donald trump says will pay for everything he has promised so far in terms of tack cuts and new policeman -- budgets but projections like that are based on economic growth that we haven't seen for many, many years. so she is pretty skeptical of the math. >> in new hampshire, the state's largest newspaper is influential and for 100 years has endorsed a republican every tight but not this time. >> now they're endorsing gary johnson. no real surprise because donald trump and the publisher of the new hampshire union leader have been feuding nastily now for a month of numbers inch an editor in december mcquaid said that donald trump was crass, a blow

hard. donald trump shot back saying mcquaid is a low life and sleazebag. it would have been surprised if the the union leader had inners toed donald trump. >> now hillary clinton stronger together noun greensboro, north carolina. let's listen. >> hilary, hilary! >> thank you all. hello, everyone. it's great to be here at unc. greensboro! [cheering] i want to thank marissa for that wonderful introduction. it means so much to have her here, along with her wonderful daughter, sarah, and her mother, barbara.

and the story she told is really one that motivates me every day because it is kids like sarah that led me to politics in the first place. to try to make our country and our world better for them. so to see sarah grown up and thriving is very special. and your whole family support really means the word to me. thank you, martha, sarah, barbara. [cheering] >> ate great to be back on the campaign trail. [cheering] as you may know, i recently had a cough that turned out to be pneumonia. i tried to power through it. but even i had to admit that maybe a few days of rest would

do me good. [cheering] i'm not great at taking it easy, even under ordinary circumstances, but with just two months to go until election day, sitting at home was pretty much the last place i wanted to be. put it turned out having a few days to myself was actually a gift. i talked with in old friends, i spent time with our very sweet dog. i did some thinking. the campaign trail doesn't really encourage reflection. and it's important to sit with your thoughts every now and then. and that did help me reconnect with what this whole campaign is about. people like me, we're lucky. when i'm under the weather --

[cheering] -- hilary! hillary! hillary! hillary! hilary ss hillary! hilary! hillary! hillary! [cheering] >> now, i just want to have a conversation and other people can wave their arms and signs but i want you to think with me for a minute about how i certainly feel lucky when i'm under the weather. can afford to take a few days off. millions of americans can't. they either good to work sick or they lose a paycheck, don't they? lots of americans still don't even have insurance or they do but it's too expensive for them to actually use.

so, they toss pack some tylenol, chug orange juice and hope that the cough or virus goes away on its own. lets of working parents can't afford child care, which in many states costs as much as college tuition, so for millions of moms and tads, if they've get sick there's no backup. they're on their own, aren't they? that the story for too many people still. in america. when illness strikes or an accident happens, you feel you're on your own. you lose your job, or can't afford college, you're on your own. if your aging parent starts needing more help and you don't know what to do, you're on your own. life events like these are catastrophic for some families

but mere bumps in the road for others. i have met so many people living on a razor's edge, one illness away from losing their job, one paycheck away from losing their homes. and that goes against everything we stand for as americans. pause in things should not come down to luck. some things should be within reach for everyone, no matter what. [cheering] like financial security. like affordable health care. like the peace of mind that comes with knowing that if something goes wrong, your family will be okay, and above all, the knowledge that no matter what, your president is

fighting for you and will always have your back. [cheering] that right there, that's why i got into this race. i am running for everyone working hard to support their families. everybody who has been knocked down but gets back up. [cheering] the factory workers on their feet all day and nurses looking after patients all night. i'm running for young people, like so many of you here who dream of changing our world for the better, and for all the parents and grandparents supporting those dreams, by dedicating every dollar they can spare to your education. [cheering]

i'm running for the lgbt teenager here in north carolina who sees your for sign a bill legalizing discrimination and suddenly feels like a second-class citizen. [cheering] and if anyone wonders the cost of discrimination are, just ask the people and businesses of north carolina. look at what is happening with the ncaa and the acc. this is where bigotry leads and we can't afford it, not here, not anywhere else, in america. [cheering] i'm running for women like general nell turn -- jen yell turner back in may of last year she iowa bothed with breast

cancer and went through nearly six months of very tough treatment. last october, she brought her eight-year-old daughter to one of our rallies in iowa. and they made a huge sign that read, 13th chemo yesterday, three more, hear me roar. [cheering] wouldn't you want to meet the woman behind that science -- sign? i tide. we stayed in touch. she keeps promising she'll see me in the inauguration and i tell her i'll keep working to get there but she better be there, too. i'm running for her and all the mothers and fathers trying to get and stay healthy so they can't there for their kids. but perhaps most of all, i'm running for those kids. [cheering]

standing up for children has been the work of my life. at a lawyer with the children's defense fund, as first lady, in arkansas, and the white house. as a senator i have fought kids housed in adult jails, kids nexted and abused. kid whose cooperate -- couldn't get health insurance because of prekissing conditions. kids with disability's so they could go to schoolful you heard from someone i've nope for a long time. now green up and to lovely youngwoman. i learned from my methodist faith we're called to do all we can for all the people we can, however long we can, and that means making sure all our children have the chance to live up to their god-given potential.

so when i meet a little girl in nevada terrified that her winders will be defeater it it hits me in the gut. when i meet also boy in flint, michigan, who can't drink the water at home or school because it's poisoned with lead, that gets me going itch just want to get to work making things better for them. that's why i care so much about national security, too. i want to give our kids a safer world. to me that means a world with strong allies, more friends, fewer enemies, and fewer nuclear weapons. [cheering] it also means leading the fight against climate change so we can leave our kids a healthy planet.

[cheering] my opponent in this race disafrees with me on every one of these fronts. just a few days ago, he said that if another country's troops taunted ours, not fired at them, but taunted them, just taunts, he would respond by blowing them out of the water. he would start a war over that. [booing] that is just one more reason, my friends, why the stakes in this election are as high as any in our lifetime. i've been involved in politics in one way or another for many years. it is not an easy business. it can get rough and i've built up some defenses. when it comes to public service

i'm better at the service part than the public part, but this is why i do it and this is who i'm in it for to make life better for children and families and that's what this race has always been about for me. now we're in the final stretch. there are just 54 days until election day. just 54 days until the most consequential vote of our lifetime. [applause] >> just also more than a month until early voting starts here in north carolina. let's make these days count, particularly here, because you've know what your for and legislature tried to do. make it harder for young people to vote. harder for people of color. harder for people with disables. harder for the elderly. there can't be any more moist

vacation -- more motivation than that to make sure every young person, every person of color, every person with a disability, every older person turns out and votes. [cheering] >> so in these final days let's try to toupe -- tune out the chatter and nonstop analysis that doesn't often have much to do with what the next president has to do. to create good jobs. to create opportunities. to make it possible for eave young person to afford to go to college or get the skills that you need for the jobs of the future. let talk about what really matters, and here's my promise to you. i'm going to close my campaign the way i began, my career, and the way i will serve as your president should you give me that great honor. focus on opportunities for kids

and fairness for families. next week i'll go to philadelphia to talk about challenges facing our young people. in florida, to focus on building an economy that welcomes everyone's contributions, including people with disabilities. then i'll be back here in north carolina to meet with more working families, from now until november 8th, everywhere i go, i'm going to talk about my ideas for our country. my campaign has rolled out detailed plans and 38 different policy areas. yes, member actually counted. everything from raining in wall street to creating good, paying jobs to fighting alzheimer's, supporting people with autism. i have this old-fashioned notion that if you're running for president, you should say what you plan to do, how you're going to get it done and how you're going to pay for it. [cheering]

you can read it all on my hundreds, hillary clinton tom tom. we put it in a new book, called, you guessed it. "stronger together." get a copy of it. it tells you everything tim kaine and i intend to too. like a lot of women i have a tendency to over prepare. i sweat the details, whether we're talking about the exact level of lead in the water in flint or how much north -- how h north carolina kids are in enry. programs or the precise interest rate on your student loans, right down to the decimal. because it's not a detail if it's your kid our your family. it's a big deal. and it should be a big deal to your president. [cheering]

now, confess, i'll never be the showman my opponent is, and that's okay with me. just look at the show he put on with dr. oz today. but i am going to deliver for you and your family, just like i did for sarah, all those years ago, with the children's health insurance program that gave her the chance to be the extraordinary young woman she is. and i'll tell you something else. people accuse me of all kinds of things. you probably have seen that. but nobody e. accuses me of quitting. and i will never give up, i'll never walk away. no matter how tough the going gets. i'm actually asking americans to

hold me can'table for my ideas and hold my opponent accountable for his. we don't need a president who says the minimum wage is too high. we need a president who knows that americans deserve a raise to get to a living wage. we don't need a president who wants to take away people's health coverage. we need a president who wants everybody to have quality, affordable health care. and we don't need a president who apparently thinks only married people deserve paid leave and only mothers ever stay home with the kids. we don't need someone who rushes out a half-baked plan just weeks before an election, after decades of ignoring or putting down working moms. we need a president who has

spent years fighting for these issues. who has a plan to support all families in all their various shapes. ask yourself, which candidate you can count on to be on your side, respect your family, stand up and fight for you and your kids? [cheering] hillary! hillary! hillary! >> that is who you should vote for on november 8th because, as michelle obama said in her fabulous speech at the democratic convention, when we go to the polls this november, the real choice isn't between democrat or republican. it's about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four years of their

lives. it's also about the kind of country we want to be, and what we want to leave behind for future generations. people have to decide, are we going to make our economy work for everyone or just those at the top? are we going bring people together or pit americans fence each other and rip our done through -- country apart. are we thing to work with our allies to keep us safe or put a loose cannon in charge who would risk everything generations of americans have worked so hard to build. have a lot of confidence in the american people and our country. my opponent keeps running us down saying we're weak, temperatures a, an embarsment. every time the says things like that i think.jenell and her strength in the face of cancer 0, martha and sarah in the face

of their health challenges and he little "in president in what up every day and goes to school even though he can't drink the water. my opponent has america all wrong. there's nothing we can't do when we come together as one nation, set big goals and pursue them. and the american dream, the american dream is big enough for everyone. to share in its promise. so if you believe the minimum wage should be a living wage. that no one who works full-time so have to raise their child in poverty, join us. of you believe that every man, woman and child in america, has a right to affordable health care and women should be free to make our own health decisions, join us.
