united states, in arguable. weakened america's place in the world. it's been a combination of factors mostly been lack of leadership. i will give you, i was in washington, d.c. on 9/11. i saw the clouds of smoke rise from the pentagon. >> i was in virginia. >> know you were. we all lived through that day as a nation, it was heartbreaking. i want to give this president credit for bringing osama bin laden to justice. the truth is, osama bin laden led al qaeda. a primary threat today is isis. because hillary clinton failed to renegotiate a status of forces agreement that would have allowed some american combat troops to remain in reaction and secure the hard fought gains the american soldier had won by 2009, isis was able to be literally conjured up out of the

you know, i served in washington, d.c., for 12 years in the congress of the united states. and i serve with many republicans and democrats, men and women of good will. the potential is there to really change the direction of this country, but it's going to take leadership to do it. the american people want to see our nation standing tall on the world stage again. they want to see us supporting our military, rebuilding our military, commanding the respect of the world, they want to see the american economy off to the races again, they want to see an american comeback. donald trump's career has been about building, it's going through hardship like a business person does, and finding a way through smarts and resilience to fight forward and when donald trump becomes president of the united states, we're going to have a stronger america. when you hear him say he wants to make america great again, when we do that, i truly do believe the american people are going to be standing taller, they're going to see that real change can happen after decades of talking about it. and when tha

well mitch mcconnell picked a fight and united his base, it's increasingly rare in washington, d.c. that the gop grassroots is united with party leaders. but this did it. talk about the garlic -- the garland nomination and why the president chose him. and what potentially might happen after the election before the next president is sworn in. guest: it seemed like when judge garland was nominated, there was a needle that the admin station could thread that would have got him on the court -- that the administration could thread that would have got him on the court. if they pick someone on controversial and moderate, that would put pressure on republicans to let him through. mcconnell, senator within hours of justice scalia's ,eath in february said no way we are not going to appoint anyone this year because it is election year. the next president will get to choose. and nothing the democrats have been able to do has dislodged that. most of the republicans have stayed behind that message as well. it's just been hard going for them to break through. at this point, it hasn't really worked

well mitch mcconnell picked a fight and united his base, it's increasingly rare in washington, d.c. the gop grassroots is united with party leaders. but this did it. talk about the garlic -- the garland nomination and why the president chose him. and what potentially might happen after the election before the next president is sworn in. guest: it seemed like when judge garland was nominated, there was a needle that the admin station could thread that would have got him on the court -- that the administration could thread that would have got him on the court. if they pick someone on controversial and moderate, that would put pressure on republicans to let him through. mcconnell, senator within hours of justice scalia's ,eath in february said no way we are not going to appoint anyone this year because it is election year. the next president will get to choose. and nothing the democrats have been able to do has dislodged that. most of the republicans have stayed behind that message as well. it's just been hard going for them to break through. at this point, it hasn't really worked in t

what do i is i go to washington, d.c., to represent theu in the united states senate, taking with me the ohio values that i learned growing up. when i was a kid i was living here in cleveland, ohio, my dad had a job as a salesman. he decided to give it all up and take a big risk. he took us back to cincinnati, ohio, which was his hometown, to follow his dream. and that was to start a small bills. he gave up his health care and his commission. mortgaged the house. couldn't get enough money to start the business because the bank wouldn't give him any money. his family didn't have any money. had to go to my mom's uncle to get a loan to start the business. it was five people, five other guys, my mom was the book keeper. they lost money the first few years. but they persevered through hard work, sacrifice and an ethical approach to business. eventually finding their niche. i worked there, my brother worked, there -- worked there, my sister worked there. i ground the rust off lift trucks, prepared them for painting. i swept the shop floor, built a paint booth. recently i ran into a guy i'v

[applause] >> hi. welcome, everybody. thank you for coming out. i'm going to talk a little bit about the book, how i came to write it, what it's about and why the timing of this book was incredibly fortunate. and and i'm also going to give you an assignment, something to do starting november 3rd. there's going to be a copy of a first folio that you can visit at the university of wisconsin, so i'll get to that at the end of my story. so, first, i want to talk a little bit about how i came to write this book. how did the idea come to me, what, you know, spurred me to do this. my obsession with shakespeare began as a lot of obsessions i think do, as a result of an excellent teacher who introduced me to the plays of shakespeare starting in middle school and then working my way through high school. i had excellent teachers for elizabethan theater, and i was bitten by th

d.c. where he lives, perhaps his clients, now his lobbying clients prevailed upon him when he was a united states senator and encouraged him to unleash a flood of outsourcing to china. i don't know. there are other things to grow our economy as well. we need to simplify the tax code, stop overtaxing where we double tax. . . . to the second day pages of the lincoln douglas debates. if you would give us two minutes and we will go around again. >> i appreciate that. i am a native that graduated from north high school but i went all around the cit city and planted my roots here and there is one thing that has always caught my heart and that's our farmers. they need economic prosperity without dumping tons of chemicals into the soil. if our farmers want a cash crop, commercial hunt is the way to go. it would end our dependence on foreign oil. these gentlemen to my left are paid for and received money from the oil industry if you can only look at open secrets.org you would know they are here to get a job for the people that will pay them and that's why you're denied. we require a strong farm eco

d.c. thanks for joining us. we want to talk about something that the former president of the united states bill it a crazy system. does this show a divide between clinton and obama? >> i wanted to talk about how donald trump pronounced your state. seriously, it is something that has been addressed. mrs. clinton addressed the improvements that needed to be made on obama care from the beginning of her campaign. she has always said it is a good start. it is a good start that you are not denied medical care because of preexisting conditions it's a good fact that you can now if you are a child you can stay on your parents health insurance until you are 26. those are all good fundamental things. 25 million more people have health insurance. the rate of cost are going down. all of those are good things. but as the former like, there are improvements that need to be made. mrs. clinton has laid out plans. she has put forth things we can do to improve it. a good basis. unlike donald trump who wants to scrap the entire thing which means all your benefits go away. she believes it's a good start but improvements need to be m

[ cheers and applause ] >> seth: good evening, how are we doing, washington, d.c.? [ cheers and applause ] thank you so much. in your beautiful city. we're having the best week we could have imagined. now let's get to the news. donald trump told supporters last night to go out and vote on november 28th. [ light laughter ] when election day is actually november 8th. unless november 8th is just a lie being spread by the liberal media. you know what? [ light laughter ] if you're a trump supporter you should probably just go with whatever he says.

let's move to the united states and ask what d.c. in terms of corporate tax policies under a clinton administration. i know you don't like races to the bottom. guest: she has been very clear about putting forward a more progressive tax policy. one of the things that has happened over the last 35 years as more and more money goes to the top and that means even a small increase in taxes at the top can get a lot of money. but one of the real problems we have been having is this race to the bottom in taxation in which ireland and luxembourg have played a key role. the recent revelation that apple was paying almost no taxes globally illustrates how bad things have become. vonnie: how should a clinton administration combat that? it may be britain next that puts in their own corporate tax rates. u.s. corporations paying tax here don't necessarily paid u.s. corporate tax rate. guest: the countries where the activities occur ought to impose taxes on that activity. a lot of what is going on is what we call profit shifting. the production may o

a man of decency and integrity leading our country and leading the world from the united states and from washington, d.cly proud to have worked for this white house and this administration because of that role model -- the role model that he has been and, you know, the agenda that he's set in the past. >> except that obama, president obama, seems to be getting his lunch eaten by his wife in terms of success as a surrogate. you know, michelle obama's had her detractors in the past. you don't usually see the first lady picking up the ball and making gains to try to extend, you know, the administration, right, into a third term here for the party. why has michelle obama been so successful, arguably more so than her husband? >> well, look, she is an enormously talented speaker. you know, that's first off. we used to kid the president that he might be the second best speaker in the family, and of course president obama's a masterful orator. look, i think what has been so successful about the first lady's speeches at the convention and on the campaign trail is that, you know, she's speaking from the heart. sh

d.c. is going to try to raise our flood insurance rates. china, russia, iran, isis now make the rules. i want to be united states senate to try to change that. now i say washington d.c. i'm of course referring to president obama and secretary clinton but i'm also referring to the ritz-carlton democrats and the big government republicans in the united states congress who talk some that they have set back from the last eight years and let the president and the secretary do anything they want to do. all of the mod to be ashamed of themselves. i don't mandate any disrespect but they have to hide their heads. i'm not part of the club in a group and i won't be part of the club in washington d.c.. >> good evening my name is carolyn fayard. there are three formative experiences i'd like to talk with you about tonight but i believe have prepared me to be the next united states senator for louisiana. the first is a recent college graduate i worked on wall street and witness the second plane hit the tower that day. the second experience is my experience working in a federal court and the aftermath of hurricane katri

i love the united states of america. " blum ofte from washington d.c. to job shadow people working here in iowa. "i think it's a good thing to get out there and do what the citizens are doing, in the private sector. " while in d.c. he says his focus remains on the issues. things like social security reform, debt reduction and national security. he says he strongly opposed the iran nuclear agreement. "i read that agreement word for word, had we had a chance to vote for it in the house, it would have been a heck no. " as for the race to the white house..... "i follow the presidential election, this close. " and while blum has pledged his for in this presidential election. "everyone is this country, everyone in eastern iowa understands donald trump is crude. he talks crude sometimes. everybody shakes their head and agrees with that. also everyone agrees that hillary clinton is a corrupt liar. " blum co-sponsored an amendment to the u-s constitution to limit us representatives to 3 terms. "career politicians, i am tired of them. i am for term limits. the wh

d.c.. i served in washington dc for 12 years in the congress in the united states and i served with many republicans and democrats, men and women of good will. the potential is there to really change the direction of this country, but it will take leadership to do it. seeamerican people want to our nation standing tall on the world stage again. to see us supporting our military, rebuilding our military, commanding the respect of the world. and they want to see the american economy off to the races again. they want to see an american comeback. donald trump's entire career has been about building, going through hardship, just like a business person does, finding a way through smarts and ingenuity and resilience to fight forward. when donald trump becomes president of the united states we will have a stronger america. when you hear him say he wants to make america great again, when we do that, i truly do believe the american people will be standing tolerance. they will see that real change can happen after decades of just talking about it. and when that happens, the american people will stand tall, sta

d.c. and the rest of the country may be interested in. japan and other countries highlighted the fact that third party countries like the united states have an interest in brexit, not just because it's one of the really, the largest trading block and a key partner for the united states, but there are question that is arise as to the rights of third party countries where they have interests either in the uk or frankly, vice versa. what can or should folks in the united states do to really think through what the likely outcome is for those interests and to what extent has washington d.c. been involved in those discussions in the european union? >> well, i think that's a good question. firstly, there have not been a huge amount of discussions. i think it is quite important to get this message across. sometimes people think we are already engaged in almost the end game of this discussion and frankly haven't begun. we are at a very, very early stage. you can see from the discussions which we all follow in the press, the intensity of the debate within the united kingdom and bringing new revelation of disagreement or a new approach. we owe it to
