in every evening at 8:00 for the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, and groupthink, dvr if you understand how those work. i don't. good night from washington, sean hannity up next. >> sean: welcome to "hannity," a fox news alert, roy moore is tonight and vehemently denying a "washington post" report where a now adult woman accuses him of sexual misconduct from when she was 14 years old. these allegations date back to 1979. 38 years ago when roy moore was 32 years old. also three other women are telling "the washington post" during the same time. roy moore pursued them when they were 16, 17, 18 years old. we have invited judge moore and to the women accusing him on the show. and liberal comedian louis ck under fire for sexual misconduct, allegations from five women that surfaced in an explosive "new york times" reports.

louis ck has denied to reply to the paper. we will break it down in the opening monologue. tonight before we explain the allegations between roy moore and louis ck come i want to be crystal clear. i said this repeatedly on my radio show, but people on the left are trying to take out of context when i spoke about this for nearly two hours today, geraldo rivera was one of my witness is petty of what peopled are accused of is true, it is beyond reprehensible, beyond disgusting, beyond shameful, in the case of george clement judge moore, he should step aside and leave the senate race. everybody would agree, a 32-year-old man pursuing a 14-year-old girl is discussing. we should all agree once this. however,on everyone also has the right to defend their name. our goal on the show is to always find the truth, here are the allegations tonight, a woman is alleging to "the washington post" that backt in 1979 when she was 14 years old she had a sexual encounter,

actually two of them with 32-year-old roy moore, on one occasion the woman alleges that he kissed her, and during another she saysha that moore inappropriately touched her and guided her hand to touch him. although she claims that no misconduct took place, she describes the incident to "the washington post" by saying "i wanted it over with, i wanted it out to pray to just get this over with. whatever it is, get it over." she asked moore to take her home, which he did, accusing him of sexual misconduct back to the 1970s when they were teenagers ranging from 16-18 years old. the women are alleging that he pursued romantic relationships with them, one allegation involved kissing, judge moore is denying the allegations against him. he told "the washington post" "these allegations are completely false and a desperate political attack by the national democratic a party and

"the washington post" on this campaign." in a separate statement he said "the washington post has endorsed the opponent and for months they have engaged in systematic campaign to destroy distort the truth about the record and career and to derail his campaign." -- ascending a retraction demand to thend post for the ful story so they wrote about the judges work in compensation. but apparently there is no end to what the post will allege, and continuous, this garbage is the very definition of fake news sand intentional defamation. tonight, judge moore also tweeted that the obama, clinton machine media lapdogs launching the most vicious and nasty round attacks against me i have ever faced, we are in the midst of a spiritual battle with those who want to silence the message. the forces of evil will lie, cheat, steal, even inflict physical harm if they believe that it will silence can shout out christians, conservatives like you and me. i believe that you and i have a

duty to stand up, fight back against the forces of evil, waging an all-out war with our conservative values. our nation is at a crossroads spiritually and politically. our children and grandchildren's futurefu is on the line, rest assured i will never give up the fightev. now, these are very serious allegations. ofrs course they have to be investigated to the fullest extent. and we are finding out almost every single day now, sexual misconduct, sexual abuse, a widespread album in the country. it is morally repugnant. here's the thing, and many of these cases it is sometimes, you have to look at the truth here. how do we ascertain what happened 38 years ago? i am a father of a daughter. i am a brother two sisters. it is scary when you hear about these predators. with these allegations against judge moore, this happened 38, nearly 40 years ago, at the same time, and this is a very

delicate question, but we have to bring it up, do some women wait because they are too scared, too upset, too traumatized to come forward? as i sat on my radio show, of course they are afraid. i can understand that, we can understand why no one will wanth to come forward and speak about such trauma, on the other hand, we have to pursue truth which at times can be very difficult, like threading a needle, a razors edge. ifif in this case, let's say tht the allegations turned to be not true, where were judge moore go to get his name back before the election on december 12, the bottom line is they should not be a nonpartisan issue.rt we should all be for civil rights, and we should be for a civil society. petty politics should be put aside pretty want to give you a quick history lesson. i learned something very profound early in my career. i was a local radio host in atlanta, georgia, remember richard jewell, they thought they he was a hero, then i was on when "the atlanta

journal-constitution" said that richard jewell who he thought washo a hero fit the profile of the loan bomber in the 1966 olympics case because he lived with his mother, i did not know at the time, but he was actually listen to my radio show when i said, wait a minute, justiv because he lives with his mother does not mean he is a bomber. i said it on the air at the time, just because you live with your mother does not make you a bomber. many people were quick to rush to judgment. back in 1997, i had the chance to interview richard jewell, i did not know that he was listening to my radio show. he said at the time that to the reason he gave me one of the first interviews was because i was the only one in the media that did not rush to judgment. incredible lesson. watch this. >> richard jewell, 33, former law-enforcement officer fits the profile of the loan bomber, including a frustrated white man who was a former police officer, a member of the military of police one toby who seeks to

become a hero. you see that in the newspaper, what did you think? >> well, it was not me. you know, i would like to figure outfi where they got their profe from a period of several parts want to be in the start of -- state of georgia i am a certified police officer, just not working for a police department. >> tucker: >> sean: a change myu cannot rush to judgment, let's look at the examples from many of my so-called colleagues in the media and many people rushed to judgment. look at the two cross case, i did not rush to judgment, college students have their lives ruined when they were falsely accused of rape. they were convicting these kids before the truth ever came out, no benefit of the reasonable doubt, no presumption of innocence, and in fact, a group

of 88 duke professors without any evidence signed their names o a paid advertisement in a duke school newspaper that's read "regardless of the result of the police investigation, what is apparent is the anger end fear of many students who know themselves to be objects of racism and sexism, who see illuminated in this moments extraordinarily spotlights what they live with every day." that was a rush to judgment, and i said it was at the time. almost everybody smeared and slandered those three duke lacrosse players, wanted to throw them in jail. it turned out that they did not do it. how many times on the show have you heard me condemn former president obama that he rushed to judgment and high profile race cases all wall ignoring massive amounts of violence in his adopted hometown of chicago. you may remember this. >> the cambridge police acted stupidly. there is a long history in this

country of african-americans and latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately. that is just a fact. the african-american community is knowledgeable that there is a history of racial disparities in the affirmation of our criminal law.w. there is a big chunk of our fellow citizenry that feels as if -- t because of the color of their skin, they are not being treated the same. >> sean: the president, a lawyer. from that position, rushing to judgment. every single time, and as i have pointed out many times in the show, completely wrong every single time. hands up, don't shoot, turned out to be a lie. some regard to rate -- regurgitated today. found innocent in the martin case by a jury of his peers, and all of the cops in the freddie gray case were acquitted, i was right a in all of these cases.

one of the reasons that i have been right in so many of my bratty friends in the media that are overplayed and lazy like jake tapper, they rush to judgment, i don't. listen to the whole two hours of my radio show,ns this is one of the reasons weht have been more right than wrong. we are not always right, we will tell you. we are here right on this program, we did not say "hands up, don't shoot." we were right on freddie gray and the cambridge police -- police. every single person deserves the assumption of innocence. with the allegations against judge moore, none of us know the truth of what happened 38 years ago, the only people that would know are the people involved. here's another perfect example, when it came, somebody says well, "hannity," on one hand, the democrats did not care, he had the right politics. hillary called it a fast right wing conspiracy, never called out her husband. but i reported i do my research. i interviewed all of these women. i look them in the eyes and

interviewed them.ha let them share their stories paid i did my job. they should do theirs in the media. >> s you just described the scee where he was biting on your lip, and then when it was all over, he was leaving. he said, you better put some ice on that. >> yeah, and casually put on his sunglasses and walked out the door. >> it was a terrible ordeal for me, no woman should be subjected but it was an assault. >> he assaulted you? touched, grabbed, fondled, kissed you against your will, and it is an allegation that is not made by one woman, multiple women. >> i said, well, i may -- he sat down, pulled down his pants, everything, and he was exposed, and i said, i am not that kind of girl. and i need to be getting back to my desk. >> sean: knew many of these cases democrats for politics

said that these women should not be believed.d. i don't think they interviewed them. you may remember saying he'd drag a $100 bill through a trailer park at the link park look at the monica lewinsky, that was shameful. and we cannot forget the clinton foundation. thede democrats care so much, on the show we have been the most outspoken about hillary taking millions and millions of dollars from saudi arabia, kuwait, the uae, and today have the most horrendous human rights records and terms of how they abuse women. how they kill gays and lesbians. i don't remember anybody else talking about it. nobody should be pointing fingers and passing judgment is paid we have to know the truth. this is an issue that transcends geography, culture, political ideology. sadly, sexual misconduct in america is rampant. that is the truth. look at what is happening in

hollywood today. ben affleck, forced to apologize for grabbing a woman's breath on live tillage for. dustin hoffman apologized. kevin spacey, accused of sexually abusing multiple teen boys is now in rehab, famed director, remember roman polanski, pleading guilty to raping a 13-year-old girl after giving her quaaludes and blues. oh, she is a double victim coming he has still escaped. my victim, a victim of the press paid and we know about the allegations around harvey weinstein who checked himself into rehab. now we have comedian luis e -- louis c.k., multiple lewd conduct, i cannot stand to louis c.k., does he deserve the presumption of innocence? every american does. we reached out to him for comment, he accuses -- judge

morris, they are all welcome here. this brings us back to roy moore, judge moore, any accusation of sexual misconduct is beyond a deeply disturbing. i say a that as a father and a brother, but every person in this country deserves the right, there presumption of innocence o ountil proven guilty. we should have learned a lot from duke, ferguson, and what happened down in florida grade and we should have learned a lot with the cambridge police prayed a lot over a lot of people. but some members of congress, m they seem to have forgotten. to this basic right including john mccain, tweeting "the allegations against roy moore are disturbing and disqualifying." you should immediately step aside and allow the people of alabama to elect a candidate that can be proud of." what happened, senator, to the presumption of innocence? what if somebody came out tomorrow and said something about you that was false? we do not know. we have to stand up against

predatory behavior, but as i said, it is a complicated issue. more complicated. would ask every american, learned the lesson that i learned in atlanta. to learn the lesson that i applied to all of these cases, and why i turn out to more right than wrong in my media friends judgment.to you have to make a decision. you can interview them and make another decision. they sit on your own experience, your fact, your believability, the people that you talk to. like i did when i interviewed catherine willie, paula jones, and many of the other women that accused bill clinton. here with reaction, fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett, geraldo rivera, fox news legal analyst mercedes colwin. i have to start with an issue with you. a witch hunt to get me fired, i did almost two hours on radio on this topic. did i sound any different than what i sounded like on tv? >>pl absolutely not, and i lamet the fact that people are seizing

on what i think, you missed spoke one sentence. >> sean: do i deserve two hours of radio? >> you said, your subject, you said, well, it was consensual -- >> sean: i thought she was talking about to the 18-year-old and to the 17-year-old. >> you cannot consent if you are under age, you know that. >> sean: the one line -- >> the one line was to say deplorable if through these allegations. >> sean: the one line was absolutely wrong, i misspoke. >> it is symptomatic of a larger gesituation. we have a tendency to believe what we want to believe and disbelieve what we don't, the classic example is of course a bill clinton in the oval office, we did not paula jones and all the rest, and all of that. and the trump allegations in the hotel room in moscow, much more

farcical, and it denied as opposed to proven facts in the clinton oval office, and moscow, you hate trumped, you want to believe that something bad went down. >> sean: by the illogical. >> with roy moore, i don't like his politics. i don't like his position on muslims. i want to believe that this is true, but you have to stop yourself, and that is the brilliance of your commentary. you have to stop yourself and say, okay, what is it about these cases? what is provable and not, is there any cooperation? what about the statute of

limitations? did she make contemporaneous statements at the time? did she write a note? did she have a diary? did she tell her mom? what happened -- >> sean: ten years later. >> statutes of limitation, because witnesses are unreliable, they are influenced. >> sean: sexual harassment is real. there are predators out there, as a father it scares the crap out of me. are there times in duke where people make false allegations? where people live for political reasons? >> undoubtably, sean. i have represented so many that have been accused of sexual misconduct. when you get them under cross-examination it all falls apart, they are lawyered up, fighting for their rights, saying, i have been victimized, this is what happened to me. our hearts the viennese people suffering in the aftermath of the terrible storm. this trip comes at an exciting time for america, economic growth has reached 3.2% and going higher. unemployment is at its lowest level in 17 years. two stock market that is at an all-time high. and the whole world is lifted by america's renewal. everywhere i have traveled on this journey, i have had the

pleasure of sharing the good news from america. but even more i've had the honor of sharing our vision for a free and open and dell pacific, a place where sovereign and independent nations with diverse cultures and many different dres can prosper side-by-side and thrive in freedom and in peace. i am so thrilled to be here today at apec. because this organization was founded to help achieve that very purpose. america stands as a proud member of the community of nations who make a home on the pacific. we have been an active partner in this region since we first won independence ourselves. in 1784, the first american ship sailed to china from the newly

independent united states. it went loaded with goods to sell in asia, and it came back full of porcelain and tea. our first president george washington himself owned a set of tableware from that ship. in 1804 thomas jefferson sent to lewis and clarke on an expedition to our pacific coast. they were the first of the millions of americans who ventured west to live out america's manifest destiny across our vast continent. in 1817, the congress approved the first full-time pacific development of an american warship. that initial naval presence soon grew into a squadron, then a

fleet to guarantee freedom of navigation for the growing number of ships, braving the high seas to reach markets in the philippines, singapore, and in india. in 1818, we began a relationship with the kingdom of thailand. and 15 years later, the two countries signed a treaty of friendship and commerce, our first with an asian nation. in the next century when imperialist powers threaten this region, the united states pushed back at great cost to ourselves. we understood that security and prosperity depended on it. we have been friends, partners, and allies in the endodpacific for a long, long time. and we will be friends, partners, and allies for a long time to come.

as old friends in the region, nobody has been more delighted than a mirror, to witness, to help, and to share in the extraordinary progress that you have made over the last half-century. what the countries and economies represented here today have built in this part of the world is nothing short of miraculous. the story of this region in recent decades is the story of what is possible when people take ownership of their future. few would have imagined just a generation ago that the leaders of these nations would come together here in da nang to deepen our friendships, expand our partnerships, and celebrate the amazing achievements of our people. the city was once home to an american military base in a

country where many americans and vietnamese lost their lives in a variability war. today we are no longer enemies, we are friends. and to this port city is bustling with ships from all around the world. engineering marvels like the drag on bridge, welcoming the millions that come to visit da nang's stunning lights, and ancient charms. in the early 1990s, nearly half of vietnam survived on just a few dollars a day and one in four did not have any electricity. today an opening vietnamese economy is one of the fastest growing economies on earth. it is already increased more than 30 times over, and the

vietnamese students rank among the best students in the world. [applause] and that is very impressive. this is the same story of incredible transformation that we have seen across the region. indonesians for decades have been building domestic and democratic institutions to govern their best -- of 13,000 islands. since the 1990s, indonesians people have lifted themselves from poverty to become one of the fastest growing nations of the g20. today it is that the the dash e third largest -- democracy has emerged as strong and about families, for 11 consecutive

years, the world economic forum has ranked the philippines first among asian countries in closing the gender gap and embracing women leaders in business and in politics. [applause] the kingdom of thailand has become an upper middle income country in less than a generation. its majestic capital of bangkok is now the most visited city on earth. and that is very impressive. not too many people here are from thailand. [laughter] malaysia has rapidly developed through recent decades, and it is now ranked as one of the best places in the world to do business.

in singapore, citizens born to parents who survived on $500 a day are now among the highest earners in the world. a transformation made possible by the vision of the vision of honest governance and to the of law. [applause] and his greatest son is now doing an amazing job. as i recently observed in south korea, the people of that republic took a poor country, ravaged by war and in just a few decades turned it into one of the wealthiest democracies on earth. today south koreans enjoy higher incomes than the citizens of many european union countries. it was great spending time with

president moon. everybody knows of china's impressive achievements over the past several decades. during this period, and it was a period of great market reform. large parts of china experienced rapid economic growth, jobs boomed and more than 800 million citizens grows out of poverty. i just left china this morning, and i had a really productive meeting and a wonderful time with our gracious host, president xi. and as i saw in my first stop of his trip in japan, we see a dynamic democracy in a land of industrial, technological, and cultural wonders. in fewer than 60 years, that

island nation has produced 24 noble prize winners for achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and the promotion of peace. [applause] the president and i agree on so much. in the broader region, countries outside of apec are also making great strides in this new chapter for the indopacific. india is celebrating the seventh anniversary of its independence, it is a stubborn democracy including 1 billion people, it e largest democracy in the world. since india opened its economy it has achieved outstanding growth and a new world of

opportunity for its expanding middle-class. and prime minister has been working to bring that vast country and all of its people to gather as one. and he is working at it very, very successfully indeed. as we can see in more and more places throughout this region, citizens of sovereign and independent nations have taken greater control of their destinies and unlocked the potential of their people. they pursued a vision of justice and accountability, promoted private property, and the rule of law and embraced systems that value hard work and individual enterprise. they built businesses, they built cities. they built entire countries from the ground up. many of you in this room have

taken part in these great uplifting national projects of building. they have been your projects from inception to completion from dreams to reality. with your help, the entire region has emerged. and it is still emerging as a beautiful constellation of nations paid each its own brightstar, satellites to none, and each one of them a people, a culture, a way of life and a home. those of you who have lived through these transformations understand better than anyone the value of what you have achieved. you also understand that your home is your legacy, and you must always protect it. in the process of your economic development, you have sought commerce and trade with other

nations, and forged partnerships based on mutual respect and directed towards mutual gain. today i am here to offer a renewed partnership with america to work together to strengthen the bonds of friendship and commerce between all of the nations of the indo-pacific, and had to gather promote our prosperity and security add to the core this partnership, we seek robust trade relationships, rooted in the principles of fairness and reciprocity. when the united states enters into a trading relationship with other countries or other people people's, we will from now on expected that our partners will faithfully follow the rules, just like we do. we expect that the markets will

be open to an equal degree on both sides. and that the private not government planners, will direct investment. unfortunately for too long and into many places the opposite has happened. for many years, the united states systematically opened our economy with few conditions. with floated or ended tariffs, reduced trade bearings, and to allow products freely into our country. while we lowered market barriers, other countries did not open their markets to us. funny. they must have been one of the beneficiaries. what country do you come from, sir? countries were embraced by the trade organization, even if they

did not abide by its stated principles. simply put, we have not been treated fairly by the world trade organization. organizations like the wto can only function properly when all members followed the rules and respect the sovereign rights of every member. we cannot achieve open markets and ensure that we have fair market process. the trade undermines us all. the united states promoted private enterprise, innovation, and industry. other countries use government to run industrial planning and state owned enterprises. we are here to wto principles on protecting intellectual -- intellectual property and

allowing market access. they engaged in product dumpy, subsidize good, currency -- and policies. they ignored to the rules to gain advantage over those who follow the rules, causing enormous distortions in commerce and threatening the foundations of international trade itself. such practices along with our collective failure to respond to them are too many people in our country and also in other countries. jobs, factories, and industries were stripped out of the united states and outs of many countries in addition. and many opportunities for mutually beneficial investments were lost, because people could not trust the system.

we can no longer tolerate these chronic trade abuses. and we will not tolerate them, despite years of broken promises, we were told that someday soon, everyone will behave fairly and responsibly. people in america throughout the indo-pacific have waited for that day to come. but it never has. and that is why i am here today. to speak frankly about our challenges and work towards a brighter future for all of us. i recently had an excellent trip to china where i spoke openly and directly with president xi about china's unfair trade practices and the trade deficits they have produced with the united states. i expressed our strong desire to work with china to achieve a

trading relationship that is conducted on a truly fair and equal basis. the current trade imbalance is not acceptable. i do not blame china or any other country of which there are many, for taking advantage of the united states in trade. if their representatives are able to get away with it, they are just doing their jobs. i wish previous administrations in my country saw what was happening antedated something about it! they did not, but i will. from this day forward, we will compete on a fair and equal basis. we are not going to let the united states be taken advantage of anymore. i am always going to put america first, the same way that i

expect all of you in this room to put your country first. [applause] the united states is prepared to work with each of the leaders in this room today to achieve mutually beneficial commerce that is in the interest of both your countries and mine. that is the message i am here to deliver. i will make bilateral trade agreements with any indo-pacific nation that wants to be our partner, and that will abide by the principles of fair and reciprocal trade. what we will no longer do is enter into large agreements that tie our hands, surrender our sovereign tree and make meaningful enforcement practical

impossible. instead we will d on a basis of mutual respect and mutual benefit. we will respect your independence and your sovereignty. we want to to be strong, prosperous, and self-reliance. rooted in their history and branching out towards the futur future. that is how we will thrive and grow to gather. in partnerships of real and lasting value. but for this, and i call it the indo-pacific dream, if it is going to be realized, we must ensure that all play by the rules. which they do not right now. those who do will be our closest economic partners. for those who do not, can be certain that the united states will no longer turn a blind eye to violation, cheating, or economic aggression.

those days are over. we will no longer tolerate the audacious theft of intellectual property. we will confront the destructive practices of forcing businesses to surrender their technology to the state and forcing them into joint ventures and exchange from market to excess. we will address the massive subsidizing of industries through colossal enterprises that put private competitors out of business, happening all the time. we will not remain silent as american companies are targeted by state affiliated actors for economic gain, whether through cyber attacks, corporate espionage, or other anticompetitive practices. we will encourage all nations to speak out loudly when the

principles of fairness and reciprocity are violated. we know that it is in america's interest to have partners throughout this region that are thriving, prosperous, and dependent on no one. we will not make decisions for the purpose of power or patronage. we will never ask our partners to surrender their sovereignty, privacy, and intellectual property, or to limit contracts to state owned suppliers. we will find opportunities for our private sector to work with yours and to create jobs and wealth for us all. we seek strong partners, not too weak partners. we seek strong neighbors, not two-week neighbors. above all, we seek friendship and we do not dream of domination. for this reason, we are

refocusing our development efforts, calling on the world bank and the asian development bank to direct the efforts towards high quality infrastructure investment that promotes economic growth. the united states will also do its part, we are also committed to reforming our development finance institution so that they better incentivize private sector investment in your economies and provide strong alternatives to state who directed initiatives come with many strings attached. the united states has been reminded time and time again in recent years led to economic security is not nearly related national security, economic security is national security. it is vital -- [applause] to our national strength.

we also know that we will not have lasting prosperity if we do not confront grave threats to security, sovereignty, and stability facing our world toda today. earlier this week, i addressed to the national assembly in south korea and urged every responsible nation to stand united and declare that every single step that the north korean regime takes towards more weapons is a step that it takes into greater and greater danger. the future of this region and its beautiful people must not be held hostage to a dictator's twisted fantasies a violent conquest and nuclear blackmail. in addition, we must uphold principles that have benefited all of us like respect for the rule of law.

[applause] individual rights and freedom of overflights, including open shipping rains. three principles, and these principles create stability and build trust, security, and prosperity among like-minded nations. we must also deal decisively with other threats to our security into the future of our children. such as criminal cartels, human smuggling, drugs, corruption, cybercrime, and territorial expansion. as i have said many times before, all civilized people must come together to drive out terrorists and extremists from our societies. stripping them of funding, territory, and ideological

support. we must stop radical islamic terrorism. so lets us work together for a peaceful, prosperous, and free indo-pacific. i am confident that together, every problem we have spoken about today can be solved in every challenge that we face can be overcome. if we succeed in this effort, if we seize the opportunities before us and ground our partnerships firmly in the interest of our own people, then together we will achieve everything that we have dreamed for our nations and for our children. we will be blessed with a world of strong sovereign and independent nations thriving in peace and commerce with others. they will be places where we can build our homes and where families businesses and people

can flourish and grow. if we do this, we will look at the globe half a century from now and we will marvel at the beautiful constellation of nations, each different, each unique, and each shining brightly and proudly throughout the region of the world. and just as when we look at the stars in the night sky, the distance of time will make most of the challenges we have and that we spoke of today seem very, very small. what will not seem small, what is not small will be the big choices that all of our nations will have to make to keep their stars glowing very, very brightly. in america, like every nation that has won and defended it sovereignty, we understand that

we have nothing so precious as our birthright. more treasured independence, and our freedom. that knowledge has guided us throughout american history. it has inspired us to sacrifice and intubate. and it is why today hundreds of years after a victory in the american revolution, we still remember the words of the american founder and our second president of the united states, john adams. "as an old man just before his death this great patriot was asked to offer his thoughts on the 50th anniversary of glorious american freedom. he replied with the words "independence forever." it is a sentiment that burns and the heart of every patriot and every nation.

our hosts here in vietnam have known the sentiment and not just for 200 years, but for nearly 2000 years. [applause] it was around 40 a.d. when two vietnamese sisters first awakened the spirit of the people of this land. it was then that for the first time the people of vietnam stood for your independence and your pride. today the patriots and heroes -- [applause] of our histories holding answers to the great questions of our future and our time. they remind us of who we are and what we are called to do. together we have it in our power to lift our people and our world

to new heights, heights that have never been attained. so let us choose a future of patriotism, prosperity, and pride. let us choose wealth and freedom over poverty and servitude. let us choose a free and open indo-pacific. finally, let us never forget the world has many places -- [applause] many dreams and many roads. but and all of the world, there is no place like home. and so for family, for country, for freedom, for history, and for the glory of god, protect your home. defend your home. and to love your home today and for all time!

thank you, god bless you! god bless the pacific region! and god bless the united states of america! thank you very much. thank you. >> ladies and gentlemen, -- >> you are just listening to president trump speaking at apec with 700 ceos and business leaders around the region and foreign leaders in attendance. amy kellogg has been traveling with the president, she joins us now live from da da nang, viet. what did you make of the speech? >> hello, jackie, president trump wrapped a lot of scenes into the speech. he concluded with a message to the indo-pacific countries represented at the conference led patriotism is key and that they should all aspire to a future of wealth and freedom over poverty and servitude. he really took the opportunity,

jackie to appeal and reach out to pretty much everyone in the house. he went through the various countries in the region's recent history, and in most cases extraordinary growth and extraordinary progress that has been made here in da nang, hosting the apec conference, he referenced to be at mimi's history, he said back in the 1990s, one in four people did not have electricity. there was very little growth, and that's growth has increased 30 fold in the last 20 years. and vietnamese are up on the best students in the world. in the context of the reforms that have taken place here and the loosening up of the communist system was part of his message. when people have control over their own fate and can make decisions about their own investment and future, they are much more likely to prosper. this has been the theme of --

over north korea on president trump's trip where he in seoul made a start comparison about the people in south korea and to the quality of life of people in the north who are struggling with so many different issues and that human rights particularly, and the incredible state control and oppression. so here he went country by country to talk about thailand and the philippines, and each countries incredible stride and growth in recent decades. one of the big issues here, of course is the tpp, their free trade agreement for the indo-pacific, that was something that president trump ditched in his presidency, and something that countries are very upset about, because as they hit the level of growth and they are in the process of developing quite rapidly, desperate for access to u.s. markets, but president

we cannot see anymore gaping trade deficit and to that end, he was trying to appeal to possibly their protections tested bulimic sentiment of all of the delegates impressing on them the freedom and patriotism while globalization is something that is inevitable and going on, there is no place like home, so every country needs to protect s and market. so here in da nang, he will be caught up with meetings for much of the rest of the day, jackie. back to you. >> we will take a quick break, and we will be right back. talk to your doctor, and call 844-214-2424. here's the story of green mountain coffee roasters sumatra reserve. let's go to sumatra. the coffee here is amazing. because the volcanic soil is amazing. so we give farmers like win more plants. to grow more delicious coffee. which helps provide for win's family. all, for a smoother tasting cup of coffee.
