>> an intelligence surge is to things, elaine. it's expanding our intelligence capacities by hiring professionals. we've got many of our experts working for private sector it's striking great partnerships with some of our cyber and intel experts in the private sector so we can, consistent with constitutional principles, gather more intelligence. but the second piece of this is really, really important. it also means created stronger alliances, because you gather intelligence, and then you share your intelligence back and forthwith allies. and that's how you find out who may be trying to recruit, who may be trying to come from one country to the next. alliances are critical. obsolete and that we need to get rid of nato is so dangerous. he said nato was obsolete. if you put aside your alliances you're going to share intelligence with, hillary clinton is a secretary of state who knows how to build alliances. she built the sanctions regime around the world that stopped the iranian nuclear weapons programs. that's what an intelligence

and interestingly enough, elaine, the u.n. followed and often china will use their detail in the security council to veto a package like that. they're getting worried about north korea too. they supported the package even though many of the sanctions are against chinese firms, chinese financial institutions. we're working together with china, and we need to. china is one of those relationships where it's competitive, it's also challenges, and in times like north korea, we have to be able to cooperate. hillary well. she went once famously to china, stood up at a human rights meeting, and said, women's rights are human rights. they didn't want her to say that but she did. she's also worked on important diplomatic deals with china. that's what it's going to take. the thing i would worry a little bit about is donald trump owes about $650 million to banks including the bank of china. i'm not sure he could stand up so tough to the people who have loaned him money. i would like to focus on social issues. you have both been open about

elaine, let me finish a sentence. they have not renounced their nuclear ambitions. $1.7 mill payment. >> six times tonight i have said to governor pence, "i can't imagine how you can defend your running mate's position on one issue after the next." and in all six cases he's refused to defend-- >> don't put words in my mouth. if he's going to do that, you have to give me time. >> he is asking everybody to vote for somebody he cannot defend and i think that should be underlined. >> gentlemen, let's talk about russia-- >> i will give you an opportunity-- >> i'll take them one at a time. nuclear weapons. try to defend that. >> he never said, that senator. >> he absolutely said it. saudi arabia, south korea, and japan. >> russian president vladimir pint invaded ukraine, annexed crimea and provided crucial military support to the assad regime. what steps if any would your administration take to counter these actions. senator kaine. >> you have to be tough on russia so let's start by not praising vladimir putin as a crump an
