better angels, and choose hope over fear. and as we look into the eyes of our children, as we send them off to school each morning, tuck them into bed at night, as hillary said, the stakes in this election could not be more clear. and let me tell you, this is not about republicans versus democrats. none of that matters this time around. no. no. no. this election is about something much bigger. it's about who will shape our children and the country we leave for them. not just for the next four or eight years, but for the rest of their lives. because as hillary pointed out, we all know -- we know the influence our president has on our children. how they turn on the tv and see
12:01 pm
the most powerful role model in the world, someone who shows them how to treat others, how to deal with disappointment, whether it's too tell the truth. they're taking it all in. and as hillary said, when you have raised children in the white house like barack and hillary and i have, you are reminded every day of the impact that you have. you start seeing the images of every child in this country in the face of your child. so when people wonder how hillary keeps her composure through the overwhelming pressure of not just this campaign but of her career, or how barack and i have dealt with the glare of the national spotlight these last eight years, that's the answer. with every action we take, with every word we utter, we think about the millions of children
12:02 pm
who are watching us, who hang on to our every word, looking to us to show them who they can and should be. and that's why every day, we try to be the kind of people, the kind of leaders that your children deserve, whether you agree with our politics or not. [cheers and applause] when i think.this election, let me el you, that's what i'm thinking that. i'm asking me, what do my girls, what do adeserve in their president? what kind of president do we want for them? well, to start with, i think we want someone who is a unidentifying force in this country, someone who sees our differences not as a threat but as a blessing.
12:03 pm
publish as hilary said we want a president who values and honors women. two teaches our daughters and son that women are full equal human beings, worthy and deserving of love and respect. we want a president who gluesessing this nation was built by folks who came here from all corners of the globe. folks who worked their fingers to the bone to create this country and give their kids a better life. we want a president who sees the goodness in all our communities, not just the brokenness. someone who understands that communities like the one where i was raised, are filled with good, hard-working folks. folks who take that extra shift, who work that extra job, because they want something more for
12:04 pm
their kids. and finally, we want a president who takes this job seriously. and has the temperment and maturity to do it well. someone who is steady. someone who we can trust with the nuclear codes because we want to go to sleep at night knowing that our kids and our country are safe. and i am here today because i believe with all of my heart -- and i would not be here lying to you. believe with all of my heart, that hillary clinton will be that president. over the years, i've come to
12:05 pm
know hillary. i know her. not just her extraordinary professional accomplishments but i know her personal values and beliefs. i know that hillary was raised barack and i in a working family. hillary's mother was an ore fan, abandoned with her parents. fair was a small business owner who stayed up nights, pouring over the books, working hard to keep their family afloat. so believe this, hillary knows what it means to struggle for what you have and want something better for your kids. see, that's why since the day she launched her campaign, hillary has been laying out concrete, detailed policies that will actually make a difference for kids and families in this country. if she said she plans to make college tuition-free. to help young people drowning in
12:06 pm
debt,. she's going to handle making sure that our climate is protected. and let me tell you this about hillary. she is involved and engaged in every policy issue that she has developed. you go on her web site, she's going to raise the minimum wage. she's going to cut taxes for lrb?ñ folks. she's going to do her best to help women get equal pay for equal work. and if you want to know more, just go on ore web site, hillary clinton.com, because here's the thing about hillary. thankfully, hillary is a policy
12:07 pm
wonk. and let me tell you, when you are president, that is a good thing. because policies matter. they really matter. they determine whether our kids have good schools. whether they can see a doctor when they're sick. whether they're safe when they walk out the door on the way to school. policies matter. and that why hillary has fought so hard for children's health insurance as first lady, for affordable child care in the senate. that's why as secretary of state, she has gone toe to toe with world leaders to keep our kids safe, and that's why day after day, debate after debate, she has shown up such strength -- shown us suchstring, such grace, refusing to be knocked down, refusing to be pushed around or counted out. hillary does all of this because she is thinking of children like
12:08 pm
her mother. children like her daughter. and her grandkids. children who deserve every chance to fulfill their god-given potential. that is why hillary is in this. she is in this race for us. she is in this for our families and for our kids and for our shared future. so let me tell you, that is why a. inspired by hillary. that is why i respect hillary, because she has lived a life grounded in service and sacrifice, that has brought her to this day. that has more than prepared her to take on the hardest job on the planet. she has run an extraordinary campaign. she has built an impressive grassroots organization. she has raised the money. she has won all the debates.
12:09 pm
[cheering] >> so, hillary has done her job. now we need to do our job. and get her elected president of the united states. because here's where i want to get real. if hillary doesn't win this election, that will be on us. it will be because we did not stand with her. it will be because we did not vote for her. and that is exactly what her opponent is hoping will happen. that is the strategy. to make this election so dirty and ugly that we don't want any part of it. so when you hear folks talking about a global conspiracy and saying this election is rigged, understand that they are trying
12:10 pm
to get you to stay home. they are trying to convince you that your vote doesn't matter. that the outcome has already been determined and you shouldn't even bother making your voice heard. they're trying to take away your hope, and then just for the record in this country, the united states of america, the voters decide our elects. they've always decided. voters decide who wins and who loses, period, end of story. and right now, thankfully, folks are coming out in droves to vote early. it's amazing to see, we are making our voices heard all across the country, because when they go low,. >> we go high! >> and we know that every vote matters. every single vote. of you have any doubt about that, consider this, bank in 2008 -- i say this everywhere i go -- bar bar barack won north
12:11 pm
carolina 15,000 votes and when you break that number down the difference between winning and losing this state was a little over two votes per precinct. i want you all to take that in. because i know that there are people here who didn't vote. two votes. and people knew people who didn't vote. two votes. if just two or three folks per precinct had gone the other way, barack could have lost, the state could have lost the election, and in 2012, barack actually did lose the state by about 17 votes per precinct. 17. that's how presidential elections go. they are decided on a razor's edge. so each of you could swing in this stadium, let's think about
12:12 pm
it. each of you could swing an entire precinct and win this election for hillary, just by getting yourselves, your friends and family, out to vote. just doing what you're supposed to do. you can do this. but you could also help swing an entire precinct for a hillary's opponent, with a protest vote, or by not voting at all. so here's what i'm asking you. get out and vote. get out and vote for hillary. vote early. vote right now. leave here, go vote. and don't let anyone take that right away from you. at hillary mentioned, you may have seen in previous weeks folks were trying to cut early voting places and cut the hours day were open, but that didn't stop people in this state. that's beautiful. enough i understand there are more locations that are opening
12:13 pm
and i want you all to crowd those places. i want you to remember that folks marched and protested for our right to vote. they endured beatings and jail time. they sacrificed their lives for this right. so i know you can get yourselves to the polls, to exercise that right. because make no mistake about it, casting our vote is the ultimate way we go high when they go low. voting is our high. that how we go high. we vote. how do we go high? >> we vote! >> how do we go high. >> we vote. >> that's it. and after you vote, volunteer. no, no, no, we need you to volunteer. roll up your sleeves. make calls, knock on doors, get people to the polls. it's turnout that's going to
12:14 pm
make the difference. we have to turn our people out. do not let yourself get tired or frustrated or discouraged by the negativity of this election. as you are out there working your hearts out for my girls, here is the thing that i just want to tell you all. because this has been a draining election. but i urge you to please, please be encouraged. i want our young people to be encouraged. because we still live in the greatest country on earth. we do. and i have never felt more hopeful about the future, and i want our young people deserve
12:15 pm
that. be encouraged. i feel that way because for the past eight years, i have had the great honor of being this country's first lady. [cheers and applause] first of all, we rock. but i have traveled from one end of this country to the other, and i have met people from every conceivable background and walk of life. and including folks who disagree with just about everything barack and i have ever said. but who welcome us into their community. remember, our neighbors are decent folks. these are -- we're all good people. who are open-hearted and willing to listen, and while we might
12:16 pm
not change each other's minds, we always walk away reminded that when it comes to what really matters, when it comes to our hopes and dreams for our children, we're just not all that different. and i want you to remember that it's that part of us as americans, that piece of us that is in all of us, that's what drives folks like hillary's mother, who said to herself, i may not have grownup a loving family, but i will build a loving family of my own. i will give my children what i never had. i will pour my heart into raising a strong, smart, loving daughter. that is what drives people like my father, who kept getting up and putting in those long hours, who said i may not have gone to
12:17 pm
college but i'm going to keep working because maybe my son, maybe my daughter, will, because in this country, anything is possible. as we walk away from this election, remember that is what makes us who we are. remember that. the country where girl like me from the south side of chicago, whose great, great grandfather was a slave, can go to the finest universities on earth. a country where a biracial kid from hawai'i, the son of a single mother, can make it to the white house. a country where the daughter of an orphan can break that highest and hardest glass ceiling and become president of the united states!
12:18 pm
that is who we are. that is what is possible here in america, but only, only when we come together. only when we work for it, and fight for it. so that why for the next 12 days, folks, we need do everything possible to help hillary clinton and tim kaine win this election. are you with me? >> are you with me? >> yes! >> i can't hear you. are we going to do this? [cheers and applause] >> we're going to vote. we're going to vote early. we're going to stand in line. we're going to make our voices heard. no one is going to take away our hope. let's get this done. thank you all. god bless. [cheers and applause]
12:19 pm
♪ ♪ >> signed, sealed and delivered. if you run for dog catcher, try to enlist that person. michelle obama seems to be the campaigner in chief. she is without much doubt one of the most popular people on the national stage. he poll numbers are enormous and her message today is, i'm with her. the overriding message, though, if you want to boil it down, get out and vote. she mentioned there's a voter suppression campaign out there. a campaign that admitted there is but if we all participate and make our voices known, as people can in 30 states across the nation in one way or another today, the democracy is stronger so even if you have never liked
12:20 pm
one word she or he husband has ever said. her message is good for all of us. get out and vote. as my mom used to say, god rest her soul, if you don't vote, for the next four years you can't complain. ♪ ♪ >> hillary clinton turning her attention to north carolina. one of the ground zeros. barack obama won by 17 precincts. the first time hillary clinton and michelle obama have campaigned together on the same stage since all of this began. secretary centerline ton called -- secretary clinton called the first lady inspiring. jennifer griffin is in north carolina. that one seemed high energy to steel a phrase. >> reporter: high energy and, shepard, the largest crowd we have seen yet on the campaign
12:21 pm
trail for hillary clinton. there is a reason that the campaign has turned to michelle obama, the first lady of the united states, too make their -- no person more popular in the united states, and you heard a very emotional appeal from not only the first lady but from a mother who is talking about this election through the eyes of children and how they have seen this election and at what a role model the president has to play. she paid tribute to hillary clinton. there has not a always been close relations between the clintons and the obamas. there was a hard-fought race in 2008. barack obama lost north carolina by 17 votes per precinct in 2008. he won by just two votes per precinct in 2012. her strongest argument today was, don't let the other side suppress the vote. don't let them depress them. don't let the dirty and nasty rhetoric of the campaign cause
12:22 pm
you to sit this one out. two votes per precinct. that is 14,000 votes that barack obama won north carolina by back in 2012. there were 14,000 people inside this coliseum at wake forest: if awful those people go straight to early voting and vote, that could make a difference. there's been early voting here since last monday and we're told by campaign officials that already in north carolina, alone, 881,000 people have already cast their votes and 13 million people across the country have already voted. >> wow, 13 million. big picture, speak from the campaign standpoint, when you have one enormous card to play and can play it anywhere across the nation. could have played it in any of seven battleground cases. why break out the michelle obama cashed on this day in that place? >> reporter: very interesting question. you have heard tim kaine,
12:23 pm
hillary clinton's running mate, call north carolina the check mate state. they feel north carolina they can block donald trump's electoral map, and so his electoral chances if they win north carolina and also speak the demographics of north carolina. veer strong african-american voting population and a very long latino population. might not think of north carolina that way but the campaign told me the early voting returns from the early votes suggest that latinos are voting 44% more in north carolina this election than four years ago so they believe the demographics are here are such that michelle obama could fire up the base and get african-american voters in particular, women in particular to go to the polls and nick a difference. >> from the hall there, just from a tv perfect, in the beginning felt like the crowd
12:24 pm
was anxious and into it, it was hard for the speaker, mrs. obama, to find her rhythm. eventually they seemed to figure her cadence out. >> reporter: it's interesting. before she came out the crowd here, again, 14,000 strong, were doing the wave. felt like a basketball game. like a found four game. it was the electric energy and the audience. something we haven't seen at hillary clinton rallies. she has been getting 2500 people at her rallies so this was a lot more energy. michelle obama said that the tribute that hillary clinton paid to her was very emotional and she admitted it threw her off her game and there were some moments where michelle obama tried to get the crowd to respond with the phrase that she started and launched at the democratic convention, they go low, we go high. normally the crowd knows what to
12:25 pm
say in response. but then she threw in that they need to say, they go low, we vote. so the crowd didn't know what the answer was supposed to be. but clearly the message throughout this was that if you are mother, if you are a daughter, that hillary clinton, who is the daughter of an orphan, that she will be a role model for children and that is a theme in this closing argument that you're going to hear more and more from michelle obama in the last 12 days. >> the tireless jennifer griffin on the road, this time in winston-salem. 12 to go. 0 good luck and thank you. wikileaks just released a new patch of clinton documents and appear to show hillary clinton's campaign was working with the white house and the democratic national committee since december of 2014. months before she entered the race. and one exchange the clinton campaign manager, bobby -- robby
12:26 pm
mook, e-mailed a top clinton aid named cheryl mills about the dnr's plans to hire a former senior obama campaign staffer to help prepare for the general election. mook right writes i well have a conversation with her opposite the political director gets debbie wasserman schultz and the dnc ceo aligned. i also wouldn't to help her keeping on iowa planning next week. more on that exchange? just a moment. the leaks revealed frustrations from within clinton's team over the use of a private e-mail server, one involving chairman john podesta some the president of a liberal think tank ohio helping clinton campaign's white house transition team in july last year, tan doan wrote, do we know who told hillary clinton she could use a private e-mail and has that person been drawn and quartered, like whole thing is bleeping insane.
12:27 pm
the leaked documents reveal top clinton aide, doug band, claimed that he ran bill clinton inc. while describing his work, in a private brokerage firm, speaking deals for the former president. band made a claim in a memo to clinton foundation lawyers after chelsea clinton launched an investigation into the foundation's finances. chelsea clinton accused her fatherrers aids of using the work at the foundation to line their own pockets. it's convoluted and complicated but ed henry has it all. tell us more about this apparent coordination between clinton's adds and the dnc. >> you put your finger oregon the fact that the key here is it was going on in december of 2014. this went on much sooner than we thought. there will wilk can -- wikileaks documents over the summer, which caused debbie wasserman schultz
12:28 pm
to leave the campaign. but this is way back in 2014, clinton's not even in the race and robby mook, the clinton campaign manager in waiting, isp with general election strategy and whatnot at the dnc and doing of that with david seemus in the white house. dfc officials they were not doing anything, they were completely neutral. not true, turns out. and look at this from the mook e-mail as well. he said it's completely credible for the white house to say that she is their pick over at the dnc. we agreed she should be our first choice for now unless we think of someone better. the whole pound robby mook pulling the strengths with dnc staff, who will be over there with the white house's blessing and backing. bottom line, bernie sanders, call your office. this suggests they were working against him behind the scenes and hillary clinton, let's face it, needs the sanders supporters
12:29 pm
to not be angry and get out and vote for her in the days ahead. >> what else are we learning from he memo from one of bill clinton's top aides? >> doug band. he is now out and he was writing this in 2011 because the context of this, chelsea clinton blown the whistle and learned that doug blabbed had conflicts of interest and was using her father, bill clinton, to help drum up business for doug band's outside consulting company. he said, wait a sect. bill clinton has conflicts of interest and says in the e-mail they were steering clinton foundation donors to also give money to bill clinton personally and yielded more than $30 million for him personally with $66 million to be paid out over next nine years should he continue. so they said give money to the charity and also hire bill clinton as a consultant do a pricey speech.
12:30 pm
the clinton argument has been they do a lot of good work but donald trump is saying from the republican side all of these arrangements need to be investigated. >> ed henry live in washington. according to the fox news decision desk trump and clinton are neck and neck in usually red texas. now donald trump is tweeting about voting booths in texas actually flipping people's votes. something that is not true. election officials say don't blame the machines. blame the voters. and years of clinton scandals and the infamous blue dress, a top republican saying it will be just like the 90s again if he gets his way. vow 0 to roll out years worth of scandal if another clinton enters the white house. hear that? you want to suppress the vote. bring that back. the news continues. it's the bottom of the hour, time for the top of the news. 12 days to go. breathe deeply.

donald trump campaigning in ohio and the republican candidate is not backing down his claimed not a the election is rigged in an interview on "good morning america o'"he reiterated hi might not accept the results of the election before turning to hillary clinton. >> i'll make the digits at the right time but we have a rigged system. look what nat wikileaks says and podesta saying that hillary clinton hat bad insyncs, bernie sanders says she's got bad judgment. >> the trump team came up with a strategy to overcome the gap. get some voters to stay home. voter suppression are ailed at three groups hillary clinton needs to win, young women, african-americans and what they call ideologistic right liberals. carl cameron in geneva, ohioen.
12:37 pm
we have? new swing state polls out today, huh? >> reporter: we do. you'll see a lot of cars going by here because we're at an event that won't 0 start -- trump won't be on stage here in ohio at this event until 7:30 tonight and already people are lining '. quinnipiac came out with new polls and it's close. georgia, typically red state. right now clinton is leading by a point, but it is a 44-43 race and that is well within the 3.7% margin of error. margins of error are important. not just 3.7. it's actually plus and minus so 7.4% would be the actual gap. out of georgia, then iowa. a state where trump has been saying he thinks he is winning. it's an annual tie. 44 apiece. and in iowa, trump has been pushing hard in north carolina, where trump was just yesterday, hillary clinton is leading 47-43%. and finally, virginia, clinton
12:38 pm
50, trump 38. and the trump campaign has essentially pulled a lot of it organizational efforts and money out of virginia, suggesting they recognize that clinton is probably going to win that. as for this aspect of voter suppression, since the day donald trump accused hillary clinton of being a bigot. he said his strategy was to so bum out democratic voter they'd wouldn't show up on hillary clinton's behalf. we have been reporting every day since then. it's a tried and true tactic in both parties. attack politics, fundamentally is about trying too turn off your opponent's supporters. nothing new here. it's kind of amazing that there's a whole bunch of the national news that is acting like it's just been discovered when the campaign has been acknowledging it the last six to eight weeks. >> carl cameron is live for us.
12:39 pm
thank you. if hillary clinton wins the white house, republicans are ready to pursue years worth of investigations. that's according to the utah congressman and house oversight committee chairman jason chaff get. saying we have two years of worth of material line up. she has four years of history at the state department, and it ain't good. unquote. of course the first clinton administration saw its fair share of scandles. whitewater, accusations of representing out the lincoln bed room and monica lewinski. so if you really loved the 1990s user just enjoyed congressional hearings or recognize voter suppression you've might be in luck. trace gal her with the news -- gallagher with the news. what does the congressman plan to focus on? report report he calls it's target rich environment saying there are thousands of e-mails that are missing that were subpoenaed during the investigation. he says that the foundation,
12:40 pm
clinton foundation, has been doing who knows what, saying, quoting, that story about the 12 million from morocco to the clinton foundation, you could take any occupy of these stories and have a year's worth of investigation. other top republicans including paul ryan, believe that because hillary clinton would interoffice with only about a third of voters saying she is honest and trust bury there's a mandate to keep investigating her, and it's worth noting that hillary clinton would be the first president in more than three decades to immediately face an oversight committee controlled by the opposite party. presidents clinton, george w. bush and obama lost congress later in their terms. >> so the odds are not good. democrats seem to be reminding people in the face of these voter suppression efforts that if democrats win the white house and both houses of congress that won't be any investigating at all. >> reporter: right. clinton has called them political investigations to begin with. that will come up empty, and many think that by going forward
12:41 pm
republicans are ignoring the public's clear desire for the two parties to work together. the ranking democrat, by the way, on the house oversight committee, elijah cummings, says it's no exaggeration to say on the first day secretary clinton walks into the white house republicans will have already investigated her more than any other president in history, and as you know, thick is all based on republicans keeping the house, which for now looks like a pretty good bet, but certainly no guarantee. >> trace gallagher live. thank you. the election lawsuits are already beginning. the democratic national committee is suing the republican national committee. that's next. i work 'round the clock.
