I like to start with the topic of presidential leadership. 28 years | :00:20. | :00:27. | |
ago tomorrow night, Boyd Benson said the vice presidential debate was not | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
about the qualifications for the vice presidency, but how, if tragedy | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
should occur, the boy 's president has to step in without any margin | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
for error, without time for preparation, to take over | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
responsibility for the biggest job in the world. What about your | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
qualities, skills and temperaments express equip you to step into that | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
role at a moment's moment? Thank you for being here tonight, welcome to | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
Governor p. It is so good to be here in Virginia. 65 years ago a lot -- a | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
young, courageous woman, Barbara Johns, lead a walk out of high | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
school. She made history by protesting school segregation. She | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
believed the nation was stronger together, and that led to the | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
education board decision which moved is down the path toward equality. I | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
am so proud to be running with another strong, history making | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
woman, Hillary Clinton, to be President of the United States. I am | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
proud because her vision of stronger together, building an economy that | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
works for all, not just those at the top, being safe in the world not | :01:40. | :01:51. | |
only with a strong military but strong alliances to battle terrorism | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
and climate change, and also to build a community of respect, just | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
like Barbara Johns try to do 65 years ago. That is why I am so proud | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
to be her running mate. Hillary told me why she asked me. She said the | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
task of administration will not be the signing of passage of the bill. | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
It will be whether we can make some body's life better, whether we can | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
make a classroom of better learning environment for school kids or | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
teachers. Whether we can make it safer. It will be about results. She | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
said to me, you have been a missionary, a civil rights lawyer, a | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
city councillor, a mayor, Lieutenant Governor and governor and now a | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
senator, I think he will help me figure out how to govern this nation | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
so we always keep in mind that the success of the administration is the | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
difference we make in peoples lives. That is what I bring to the ticket, | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
that experience, having served at all levels of Government. But my | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
primary role is to be a strong supporter and right-hand person of | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
Hillary Clinton, I relish that role, I am so proud of her. My wife and I | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
trust Hillary Clinton with the most important thing in life. We have a | :02:53. | :03:04. | |
son deployed overseas in the Marine Corps right now, we trust her as | :03:05. | :03:05. | |
president and commander-in-chief. The thought of Donald Trump as | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
commander-in-chief scares us to death. Governor Pence? Thank you to | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
this university for the hospitality, it is humbling for me to be here. I | :03:16. | :03:26. | |
am surrounded by my wonderful family and, Senator Kaine, it is an honour | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
to be here with you. I would like to thank everybody looking into night, | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
everyone who understands what an important time visitors in the life | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
of the nation. For the last seven years we have seen America's place | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
in the world we can, and economy stifled by more taxes, more | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
regulation, a war on coal and health care reform being known as | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
ObamaCare. American people know we need to make a change. I would like | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
to thank you all for being with us tonight. I would like to thank | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
Donald Trump for making that call and baked it is to be part of that | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
ticket. I am a small-town boy from a place not too different to put | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
Farmville, I had a cornfield in my backyard, my grandfather emigrated | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
to this country out about my son's H. My parents built everything that | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
matters in a small town in Indiana, a family, a good name and a business | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
and raised a family. I dream Sunday of representing my hometown in | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
Washington, DC. But, honestly, I would never imagine that I would | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
have the opportunity to be governor of the state that I love, never mind | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
sitting at a table like this in this kind of position. So to answer your | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
question, I would say that I would hope that if the responsibility ever | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
felt to me in this role, that I would meet it with the way that I | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
will meet the responsibility should I be elected vice president of the | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
United States, that is to bring a lifetime of experience, a lifetime | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
growing up in a small town, a lifetime serving in the Congress of | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
the United States, for I have led a state that works in the great state | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
of Indiana. Whatever more responsibilities might fall from | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
this I would hope and, frankly, I would pray, to be able to meet that | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
with a lifetime of experience. Senator Kaine, you praised Hillary | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
Clinton's character, yet 60% of voters do not think she is | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
trustworthy. Why do so many people mistrust her, is it because they | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
have questions about her e-mails and the Clinton foundation? Here is what | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
people should look at when they look at a public servant. Do they have a | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
passion in their life that showed before they were in public life, | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
have they held onto that throughout their life regardless of whether | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
they were in or not, succeeding or failing? Hillary Clinton has that | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
passion from being a child in a Methodist youth group in Chicago, | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
she has been focused on serving others, with a special focus on | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
empowering families and kids. As a civil rights lawyer in the South, | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
First Lady of Arkansas and the Secretary of State of this country, | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
it has always been about putting people first, in sharp contrast with | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
Donald Trump. Donald Trump always puts himself first. In the words of | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
one of his campaign staff as he built his career on the little | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
people, as a candidate he started his campaign with a speech calling | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
Mexicans rapists and rapists and criminals and has pursued the | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
discredited and outrageous lie that President Obama was not born in the | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
United States. It is so painful to suggest that we go back to think | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
about those days when an African-American could not be a | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
citizen the United States, I can't imagine how Governor Pence can | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
defend the selfish and insult driven style of Donald Trump. You have said | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
Donald Trump is thoughtful, compassionate and steady, yet 67% of | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
voters feel he is a risky choice and 65% feel he does not have the right | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
temperament to be president. Why do so many Americans think he is too | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
erotic? Well first and foremost, Senator, you at Hillary Clinton | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
would know a lot about ten insult driven campaign. At a time when the | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
heck -- in the wake of Hillary Clinton's tenure of Secretary of | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
State, she was the architect of the Obama administration foreign policy, | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
in tire portions of the world are spinning out of control. The | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
situation we are watching in Syria today is a result of the failed and | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
weak foreign policy that Hillary Clinton helped to lead in this | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
administration and create. The newly build and aggression of Russia, | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
whether it was Ukraine or... Daddy handed approach... Dubova have seen | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
Vladimir Putin is... We will go to Russia in a moment. I want to get | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
back to the question. Thank you, Senator. They praised by Toomua | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
Putin as a great leader. We have that coming up. In the meantime, the | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
questions were about your running mates. I must have hit a nerve. In a | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
time of great challenge in the life of this nation, where we have | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
weakened America's place in the world and stifled the American | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
economy, the campaign of Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine has been an | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
avalanche of insults. Donald Trump has built a business, through hard | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
times and good times. He has brought extraordinary business acumen, | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
employ tens of thousands in this Kenji... And paid few taxes and lost | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
$1 billion a year. Why the disconnect with your running mates? | :08:45. | :08:52. | |
There is -- there is a reason why they mistrust Hillary Clinton, | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
because they are paying attention. The Clinton Foundation accepted | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
contributions from foreign governments when she was Secretary | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
of State. Let me talk about this issue. I think I am still on my | :09:06. | :09:14. | |
time. Isn't this a discussion? Let me interrupt you. The Clinton | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
Foundation accepted foreign contributions from foreign | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
governments and foreign donors while she was Secretary of State. She had | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
a private server that was discovered... You have an | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
opportunity later... Governor p does not think the world is going so well | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
and will say it is everybody's faults. -- Governor Pence. When | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
Hillary Clinton became Secretary of State, Osama bin Laden was alive. We | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
had thousands of troops deployed in the battlefield in Iraq and | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
Afghanistan. Iran was racing towards nuclear weapons and Russia was | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
establishing its stockpile. She was part of the national public safety | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
team that revived the dormant hunt against bin Laden and wiped him off | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
the face of the earth. She worked with the Russians to reduce their | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
chemical weapons stockpile. She negotiated with countries around the | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
world to erratic way to the radio nuclear weapons programme. Without | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
firing a shot. -- to eliminate the Arabian nuclear weapons programme. | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
We now have 15,000 troops deployed overseas. And Iraq has been overrun | :10:26. | :10:34. | |
by Isis. Hillary Clinton failed to renegotiate starters... We removed | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
all our jobs from Iraq, Isis developed in the vacuum and overrun | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
vast areas of Iraq. President Bush said we would leave Iraq at the end | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
of 2011. Iraq did not want the troops to stay and would not give as | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
protection for the troops. If a nation where our troops are serving | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
does not want us to stay, we will not stay. It was a failure... | :11:02. | :11:10. | |
Gentlemen, Senator Tim Scott, he was African-American, your fellow | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
Republican, recently spoke on the Senate floor. He said he was stopped | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
seven times by law enforcement in one year. He said, I have felt the | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
anger, the frustration, the sadness and she many Asian that comes with | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
feeling that you are being targeted for nothing more than being just | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
yourself -- the sadness and unary Asian. What would you say to him? I | :11:33. | :11:41. | |
have the deepest respect for him and he is a friend. We need to adapt | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
Criminal Justice Bill for nationally. I saying this in | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
Indiana, we're very proud of it. I worked on the second chance act in | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
Congress. We had to do a better job of recognising and correcting the | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
errors in the system that reflect an institutional bias in criminal | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
justice. What Donald Trump and I are saying is let's not have the reflex | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
of assuming the worst of men and women in law enforcement. We treat | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
the -- truly believe that law enforcement... What would you say to | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
Senator Scott? Law enforcement in this country is a force for good, | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
they truly put their lives on the line every single day. I would | :12:26. | :12:34. | |
suggest that what we need to do is assert a stronger leadership at | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
national level to support law enforcement. Senator Kaine just | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
rejected a stop in Frisk. I would suggest that the families living in | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
inter-cities that are besieged by crime... | :12:47. | :12:57. | |
Criminal justice is about respecting law and being respected by the law. | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
There is a fundamental respect issue. I want to talk about the tone | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
set from the top. Donald Trump has called Mexicans rapists and | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
criminals, he has called women slobs, pigs, dogs, disgusting. I | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
don't like saying about in front of my wife and mother. He attacked in | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
Indiana born federal judge and said he was unqualified to hear a federal | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
lawsuit because his parents were Mexican. He went after John McCain, | :13:24. | :13:38. | |
a POW, and said he was not a hero because he was captured. He said | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
African-Americans are living in hell and perpetrated an outrageous and | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
bigoted like that President Obama is not a US citizen. | :13:44. | :13:44. | |
If you want a society where people are respected and respect laws, you | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
can't have somebody at the top demeaning every group that he talks | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
about. Again, I cannot believe that Governor Pence will defend the | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
insult of an campaign run by Donald Trump. I want to turn to | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
immigration. Your running mates have both said that and documented | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
immigrants who have committed violent crime should be deported. | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
What would you tell the millions of undocumented immigrants who have not | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
committed violent crimes? Donald Trump has laid out a plan to end | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
illegal immigration once and for all. We have been talking it to | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
death the 20 years. Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine want to continue the | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
policies of open borders, Amnesty, catch and release, century cities, | :14:26. | :14:34. | |
all the things driving wages down in this country, and too off with | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
criminal aliens in the country it has led to heartbreak. Donald Trump | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
has a plan that he laid out in Arizona. It will deal systematically | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
with illegal immigration, beginning with border security and internal | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
enforcement. For the first time in the history of immigrations and | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
Customs enforcement, their union endorsed Donald Trump as the next | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
President of the United States, because they know they need help to | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
enforce the laws of this country. Donald Trump has laid out a priority | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
to remove criminal aliens, people who have overstayed their visas. | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
Once we have accomplished all of that, which will strengthen the | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
economy, the rule of law and make communities safer once the criminal | :15:18. | :15:26. | |
aliens are right, then we'll deal with those that remain. I had to | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
tell you, I was listening to the avalanche of insults coming out of | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
Senator Cain. -- Senator Kaine. It is my time. He says ours is an | :15:34. | :15:42. | |
insult driven campaign? Did you just hear that, I was this? To be honest | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
with you, if Donald Trump had said all the things that you said he said | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
in the way that he said, he still would not have a fraction of the | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
insults that Hillary Clinton levelled when she said that half of | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
our supporters were a basket of deplorables. She said they were | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
irredeemable, not American. It is extraordinary. And then she laid one | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
after another ism on millions of Americans who believe they can have | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
a stronger America at home and abroad, who believe that get the | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
economy moving again and end illegal immigration once and for all. This | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
insult driven campaign, that is small potatoes compared to Hillary | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
Clinton. She called half-out Trump's supporters a basket of deplorables. | :16:32. | :16:39. | |
Hillary Clinton said something on the campaign trail and | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
the next day. Look for Donald Trump the next day. Look for Donald Trump | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
apologising to John McCain for apologising to John McCain for | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
saying he wasn't a hero, did Donald Trump apologise for calling women | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
pics and slopes and disgusting? It is his two minutes, please. -- pigs | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
and slobs. Did he apologise for and slobs. Did he apologise for | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
saying African Americans are living in hell? Did he apologise for saying | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
Barack Obama wasn't a citizen of the US? He never takes responsibility. | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
Immigration, two plans, Hillary and I believe incompetence if | :17:21. | :17:29. | |
immigration -- competent immigration. Keeping families | :17:30. | :17:37. | |
together is the top goal. That will help focus enforcement efforts and | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
those who are violent. We will do more border control. We will provide | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
a path to citizenship for those who play by the rules. That is our | :17:46. | :17:53. | |
proposal. Trump proposes to deport 16 million people. 11 million are | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
here without documents. Trump and Mike Pence want to get rid of | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
birthrights citizenship. So if you were born here, but your parents | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
don't have documents, they want a -- to eliminate that. Deportation. They | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
want to go house-to-house, school to school, business to business, and | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
kick out 16 million people. That is nonsense. I cannot believe the | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
governor would defend his running mate's claim that we should create a | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
deportation force so they will all be gone. We have a deportation | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
Foskett is called immigration and Customs enforcement. I would like to | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
shift to the threat of terrorism. -- deportation force, it is called. Has | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
the terrorist threat increased or decreased? It has decreased in some | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
ways. Osama Bin Laden instead. It is decreased in some way because of the | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
Errani nuclear weapon is programme has stopped. -- Iranians nuclear | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
weapons programme has stopped. Other parts of the world are challenging. | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
To beat terrorism there is only one candidate that can do that and that | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
is Hillary Clinton. She was the senator from New York at 911. She | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
was at the World Trade Center when they were searching for victims and | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
survivors. That is seared onto her, the need to beat terrorism. And she | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
has a plan to do it. She was part of the National security team that | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
wiped out Osama Bin Laden. First, we have to keep taking out I saw's | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
leaders. She was part of the team that got Osama Bin Laden. -- Isil. | :19:37. | :19:43. | |
We had to disrupt financing networks. Third, disrupt their | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
ability to recruit on the Internet and in safe havens. Fourth, we have | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
to work with allies to share and surge intelligence. That is the | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
Hillary Clinton plan. She has the experience to do it. Donald Trump | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
cannot start a Twitter war with Miss universe without shooting himself in | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
the foot. Donald Trump doesn't have a plan. He said I have a secret | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
plan, and then he said, I know more than all of the generals about Isil. | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
Then he said he was going to call them to figure out a plan. Finally | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
he said he was going to fire all of the generals. He does have dangerous | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
ideas. He trashed talks the military. The military is a | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
disaster. John McCain is no hero. The generals need to be fired. And I | :20:27. | :20:34. | |
know more than them. Nato was obsolete. And will only work | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
together with Israel if they pay bigger league. He has a personal | :20:38. | :20:47. | |
Mount Rushmore, Kim, Vladimir Putin, Gaddafi, and he believes the world | :20:48. | :20:56. | |
will be safer if more nations have more nuclear weapons. -- him, | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
Vladimir Putin, Gaddafi, and King John and. When he was told wait a | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
minute, terrorists could get those, proliferation could lead to war, | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
Donald Trump said, go ahead, folks, enjoy yourselves. I would love to | :21:11. | :21:12. | |
hear what he thinks is enjoyable and hear what he thinks is enjoyable and | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
work on that one a long time? That work on that one a long time? That | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
had creative minds in it. I want to see if you can defend any of it. I | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
can make it clear to the American people. After travelling millions of | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
miles as our secretary of State, after being the architect of the | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
foreign policy in this administration, America is less safe | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
today than it was before Barack Obama became president. It is | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
inarguable. We have weakened America's place in the world. It has | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
been a combination of factors. But maybe a lack of leadership. I was in | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
Washington, DC and 911. I saw the clouds of smoke rise. I was in | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
Virginia, in the Pentagon. I know, we all live through that day as a | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
nation. It's heartbreaking. I want to give the president credit for | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
bringing Osama Bin Laden to justice. Truth is, he let Al-Qaeda. The | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
primary threat today is Isis. Because Hillary Clinton failed to | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
renegotiate an agreement which would have allowed some American combat | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
troops to remain in Iraq and secure the hard-fought gains the American | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
soldiers had won by 2009, Isis was able to be conjured up out of the | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
desert, these overrun vast areas, that the American soldier had not | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
won. My heart breaks for the likes of Lance Corporal Scott 's | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
Grabowski. He fought hard through some of the most difficult days in | :22:54. | :23:01. | |
operation in Iraqi Freedom. And he paid the ultimate sacrifice for our | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
freedom. That nation was secured in 2009. But because Hillary Clinton | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
and Barack Obama failed to provide a status of forces agreement and leave | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
sufficient troops in there, we are back at war. More troops have been | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
deployed to the ground. And the Lance Corporal's mother would always | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
come to see me. I would always give her a hug and say we will never | :23:28. | :23:35. | |
forget her son. We never will. Syria, 250,000 people, 100,000 of | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
them children, are under siege in Aleppo. Weapons and bombs are being | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
dropped on them by Russian and civilian military 's. Does the US | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
civilians and prevent mass civilians and prevent mass | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
casualties on the scale. -- militaries. About Aleppo and Syria. | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
What America ought to do right now is established safe zones. So that | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
families and vulnerable people can move out of those areas, work with | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
our Arab partners, real-time, right now, to make that happen. Second, | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
the provocations by Russia need to be met with American strength. If | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
Russia chooses to be involved and continue to be involved in this | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
barbaric attack on civilians in Aleppo, the US should be prepared to | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
use military force to strike military targets of the Assad | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
regime. To prevent them from this humanitarian crisis that is taking | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
range of other things we ought to range of other things we ought to | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
do. We ought to deploy a missile defence shield to the Czech Republic | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
and Poland which Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama pulled back and for | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
fear of offending the Russians in 2009, we just need to have American | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
strength on the stage. When Donald Trump becomes president, Russia and | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
other countries in the world will know they are dealing with a strong | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
American president. Hillary and I agree that the establishment of | :25:08. | :25:19. | |
be a very good idea. You mentioned a be a very good idea. You mentioned a | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
setting up a safe sound? How would setting up a safe sound? How would | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
you keep it safe? First and foremost, Donald Trump support our | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
troops. But he won't pay taxes. Do you not take deductions? Please, I | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
would like to ask... It is about our troops. I understand why he won't | :25:44. | :25:51. | |
change the subject -- what he would like to change the subject. Do you | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
think Donald Trump... Gentlemen, we will have time to get to that... | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
What we are dealing with... There is an old proverb that says the Russian | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
Bear never dies it just hibernates. Truth of the matter is we can | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
factors foreign policy if Hillary factors foreign policy if Hillary | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
Clinton and Barack Obama has awakened and aggression in Russia. | :26:12. | :26:19. | |
Now they are moving into the wider Middle East and all the while, all | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
we do is fold our arms and say we are not having talks and more. To | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
answer your question, we need American strength. We need to | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
marshal the resources of our allies in the region. And in the immediate, | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
we need to act, and act now to get people out of harms way. How would | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
those safe zones work? How would they remain safe? They would have to | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
be, as the senator said, there is already a framework that has been | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
recognised by the international community. The US needs to be | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
prepared to work with our allies in the region to create a route for | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
safe passage and then to protect people in those areas, including | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
with a no-fly zone. This is tough stuff. I served on the Foreign | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
Affairs Committee for a decade, I travelled in and out of that area | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
for decades. I saw what the American soldier won in the operation Iraqi | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
Freedom. To see the weakened, feckless leadership Hillary Clinton | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
was the architect of... Let me come back and talk about that... That is | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
deeply troubling to me... He doesn't want act knowledge that we stopped | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
the Iranians nuclear weapons programme. You didn't. He doesn't | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
want act knowledge that Hillary Clinton was part of the team that | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
got Osama Bin Laden. I just did. And that it is a good thing, not a bad | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
thing, that we are down and troops deployed. Let me tell you what would | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
make the Middle East dangerous. Donald Trump... Ronald Reagan said | :27:49. | :27:58. | |
proliferation. He said the problem proliferation. He said the problem | :27:59. | :28:05. | |
with it is that some fool or maniac could trigger a catastrophic event. | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
And I think that is who his running mate is. Exactly who president | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
Reagan worried us about. That is pretty low, even for you. Do you | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
think we should have more nuclear weapons in the world, that that | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
would make us safer? Ronald Reagan also said a nuclear war should never | :28:25. | :28:30. | |
be fought because it can never be won. The USA needs to make | :28:31. | :28:35. | |
investment in modernising our nuclear figures... You defend | :28:36. | :28:41. | |
Trump's claims... Let me go back to this Iran saying. He keeps saying | :28:42. | :28:48. | |
Hillary Clinton started the deal with the Iranians and that it | :28:49. | :28:51. | |
prevented Iran from getting nuclear weapons. That is what the joint | :28:52. | :28:57. | |
chiefs of staff are saying. That is not what Israel thinks. You can go | :28:58. | :29:05. | |
and check it. I know you boycotted Benjamin Netanyahu. I visited him in | :29:06. | :29:08. | |
his office. You boycotted his speech. This so-called Iran deal, | :29:09. | :29:14. | |
what it did was essentially guaranteed... When I was in Congress | :29:15. | :29:20. | |
I fought hard and a bipartisan basis with Republican and Democrat members | :29:21. | :29:22. | |
to move forward the toughest sanctions. Literally in the history | :29:23. | :29:29. | |
of the US. Then Hillary Clinton used them. We were bringing them to heel. | :29:30. | :29:33. | |
With the goal that we would only lift the sanctions if Iran | :29:34. | :29:36. | |
ambitions. They have not renounced ambitions. They have not renounced | :29:37. | :29:44. | |
their nuclear ambitions. When the deals period runs out there is no | :29:45. | :29:49. | |
limitation and obtaining weapons. $1.7 billion in a ransom payment... | :29:50. | :29:53. | |
We need to talk about Russia quickly. Six times tonight I have | :29:54. | :29:59. | |
said to govern appends by donor how you can defend your running mate's | :30:00. | :30:02. | |
position on one issue after the next. -- Governor Pence and how you | :30:03. | :30:18. | |
can defend. I think this just underlines... I will take them one | :30:19. | :30:24. | |
at a time if he wants. More nations should get nuclear weapons? Try to | :30:25. | :30:31. | |
defend that. He has never said that. Gentleman, Russia, Vladimir Putin | :30:32. | :30:36. | |
invaded Ukraine, annexed Crimea, and has given military support to the | :30:37. | :30:42. | |
Assad regime. What stops would your Administration taken to counter | :30:43. | :30:46. | |
tough and Russia. Let's start by not tough and Russia. Let's start by not | :30:47. | :30:50. | |
leader. -- and Russia. He and Donald leader. -- and Russia. He and Donald | :30:51. | :30:59. | |
Trump has said he is a great leader. Donald Trump has business pleadings | :31:00. | :31:01. | |
with Russia that he refuses to disclose. Hillary Clinton has gone | :31:02. | :31:07. | |
toe two Toe with Russia. She went toe to toe with Russia as Secretary | :31:08. | :31:10. | |
of State to do the new start agreement, to reduce Russia's | :31:11. | :31:21. | |
nuclear stockpile. -- toe-to-toe. She protested when they went into | :31:22. | :31:25. | |
Georgia. We have that punishing economic sanctions and Russia that | :31:26. | :31:29. | |
we need to continue since they invaded Ukraine. Donald Trump did | :31:30. | :31:33. | |
not know that Russia had invaded the Crimea. He was on the TV show and he | :31:34. | :31:36. | |
said, I guarantee you this, Russia is not going into Ukraine. He had to | :31:37. | :31:40. | |
be reminded that they had gone into the Crimea two years before. Hillary | :31:41. | :31:55. | |
Clinton has gone toe-to-toe with Russia. She stood up to them on | :31:56. | :32:00. | |
issues of Syria and their invasion of Georgia. You have to have the | :32:01. | :32:03. | |
ability to do that and Hillary does. And the other hand you have Donald | :32:04. | :32:07. | |
Trump who is somebody who praises Vladimir Putin all the time. America | :32:08. | :32:11. | |
should wonder about a president tramp who had a campaign manager | :32:12. | :32:18. | |
with ties to Vladimir Putin. -- president Trump. When he is sitting | :32:19. | :32:25. | |
down with Vladimir Putin, is it going to be America's Bottom Line, | :32:26. | :32:30. | |
or Donald Trump's Bottom Line with all of his business deals? This | :32:31. | :32:36. | |
could be solved if Donald Trump would release his tax returns. I | :32:37. | :32:41. | |
know he is laughing at this. What has that got to do with Russia? | :32:42. | :32:45. | |
Every president since Richard Nixon has done it. The only way the | :32:46. | :32:51. | |
American public will see if he has a conflict of interest will be if you | :32:52. | :32:58. | |
release -- if he released his tax returns. I'm just trying to keep up | :32:59. | :33:02. | |
with the insult driven campaign. I'm just saying facts about your running | :33:03. | :33:08. | |
mate. Senator, please. Do not put words in my mouth. I'm not defending | :33:09. | :33:09. | |
him. Most of what you said is false. him. Most of what you said is false. | :33:10. | :33:19. | |
The American people know that. This is not like the old days where you | :33:20. | :33:22. | |
say stuff and people just believe it. This is the alternate universe | :33:23. | :33:28. | |
of Washington facing reality. Hillary said her number one priority | :33:29. | :33:35. | |
was reset Russia. That resulted in the invasion of Ukraine. After the | :33:36. | :33:40. | |
infiltrated with what they called Little Green men, Russian soldiers | :33:41. | :33:44. | |
who were dressing up like Ukrainian dissidents. Then they went into the | :33:45. | :33:48. | |
Crimea and took the peninsula. Donald Trump knew that happened. He | :33:49. | :33:51. | |
said it won't happen again. The truth of the matter is... What you | :33:52. | :33:58. | |
have in the rise of aggressive Russia, which has influenced its -- | :33:59. | :34:07. | |
which strengthened its influence in Iran. The leading state of terror in | :34:08. | :34:13. | |
the world in Iran now has a closer working relationship with Russia | :34:14. | :34:18. | |
because Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama's foreign policy allowed it. | :34:19. | :34:24. | |
And then the sanctions were lifted. And then Syria, this is | :34:25. | :34:28. | |
extraordinary, Syria is imploding. View asked a thoughtful question | :34:29. | :34:34. | |
about the disaster in Aleppo. Isis is headquartered in Raqqa. They have | :34:35. | :34:43. | |
taken areas that the American soldier won. They are saying that | :34:44. | :34:51. | |
the foreign policy of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama somehow | :34:52. | :34:55. | |
made the world more secure. It really is astonishing. We have wiped | :34:56. | :35:01. | |
out the leader of Al-Qaeda. Please. We delivered 400 million in cash as | :35:02. | :35:07. | |
a ransom payment for Americans held by the radical leader in terror -- | :35:08. | :35:21. | |
in Tehran. Vladimir Putin is a dictator. He isn't a leader. Anybody | :35:22. | :35:25. | |
who things otherwise doesn't know Russian history or Vladimir Putin. | :35:26. | :35:31. | |
Clinton knows who this guy is. John McCain said I looked in his eyes and | :35:32. | :35:36. | |
I see KGB. Hillary has the same feeling. How do you deal with him? | :35:37. | :35:40. | |
We have to deal with Russia in lots of ways. There are areas where we | :35:41. | :35:45. | |
can cooperate. It was Clinton who worked with Russia and the new start | :35:46. | :35:49. | |
treaty to reduce their nuclear weapons stockpile. Clinton worked | :35:50. | :35:53. | |
with Russia to get them engaged in a community of nations to stop the | :35:54. | :35:59. | |
Iranians nuclear weapons programme. She is not praising Vladimir Putin | :36:00. | :36:03. | |
is a great guy. But she knows how to sit down at a table and negotiate | :36:04. | :36:08. | |
tough deals. This is a challenging part of the world. We ought to have | :36:09. | :36:12. | |
a commander-in-chief who is prepared and has done it, rather than | :36:13. | :36:15. | |
somebody who goes around praising Vladimir Putin is a great leader. I | :36:16. | :36:20. | |
would like to ask about North Korea and the threat of nuclear weapons. | :36:21. | :36:24. | |
North Korea recently conducted its fifth and most powerful nuclear | :36:25. | :36:28. | |
test. What specific steps would you take to prevent North Korea from | :36:29. | :36:33. | |
producing a nuclear armed missile capable of reaching the US? We need | :36:34. | :36:42. | |
to make a commitment to rebuild our military. Including modernising our | :36:43. | :36:46. | |
forces. We also need an effective American diplomacy that will marshal | :36:47. | :36:52. | |
the resources of nations in the Asian Pacific rim to put pressure on | :36:53. | :37:06. | |
North Korea, on Kim Jong-un. We must take nuclear weapons away from the | :37:07. | :37:09. | |
Korean peninsula. When Donald Trump is president we won't have the kind | :37:10. | :37:18. | |
of posture in the world that has Russia invading Crimea and Ukraine. | :37:19. | :37:21. | |
That has the Chinese building islands. That has the world flouting | :37:22. | :37:28. | |
back to the days of peace through back to the days of peace through | :37:29. | :37:33. | |
strength. I have to tell you that all this talk about tax returns, and | :37:34. | :37:38. | |
I get it, you want to keep bringing it up, but... Hillary Clinton and | :37:39. | :37:47. | |
her husband set up a private foundation called the | :37:48. | :37:49. | |
foundation. While she was Secretary foundation. While she was Secretary | :37:50. | :37:52. | |
of State the Clinton foundation accepted tens of millions of dollars | :37:53. | :37:56. | |
from foreign governments. And foreign donors. You all need to | :37:57. | :38:05. | |
know. This is basic stuff. Foreign donors and foreign governments | :38:06. | :38:08. | |
cannot participate in the American political process. They cannot make | :38:09. | :38:11. | |
financial contributions. But the Clintons figured out a way to create | :38:12. | :38:16. | |
a foundation where foreign governments and foreign donors could | :38:17. | :38:21. | |
we found out that more than half of we found out that more than half of | :38:22. | :38:26. | |
her private meetings when she was secretary of state were given to | :38:27. | :38:29. | |
major donors of the Clinton foundation. You talk about all of | :38:30. | :38:33. | |
these baseless rumours about Russia and the rest, Hillary Clinton... You | :38:34. | :38:38. | |
asked a trustworthy question at the beginning. Averna, your two minutes | :38:39. | :38:43. | |
are up. They are looking at the pay to play politics she operated with | :38:44. | :38:49. | |
the Clinton foundation. -- Governor. I will talk about the foundation | :38:50. | :38:55. | |
then North Korea. And the foundation, I'm glad we talked about | :38:56. | :38:59. | |
it. The Clinton foundation is one of the highest rated charities in the | :39:00. | :39:05. | |
world. It provides aids drugs to around 11.5 million people. It helps | :39:06. | :39:09. | |
Americans deal with opiate overdoses. It gets higher rankings | :39:10. | :39:13. | |
for its charity than the American Red Cross does. The Clinton | :39:14. | :39:18. | |
foundation does a lot of good work. Hillary Clinton as Secretary of | :39:19. | :39:22. | |
State took no action to benefit the foundation. The State Department did | :39:23. | :39:25. | |
an investigation and concluded everything she did as secretary of | :39:26. | :39:30. | |
state was completely in the interest of the US. The foundation does good | :39:31. | :39:33. | |
work. Hillary Clinton acted in the work. Hillary Clinton acted in the | :39:34. | :39:38. | |
interest of the US. Let's compare this with the Trump Organisation and | :39:39. | :39:43. | |
the trump foundation. The Trump organisation is an octopus like | :39:44. | :39:47. | |
organisation with tentacles all over the world, whose | :39:48. | :39:50. | |
conflict-of-interest could only be known if Donald Trump would release | :39:51. | :39:54. | |
his tax returns. He has refused to do it. His sons have said that the | :39:55. | :40:00. | |
organisation has a lot of business dealings in Russia. Remember, the | :40:01. | :40:03. | |
Trump organisation is not a nonprofit, it is putting money in | :40:04. | :40:07. | |
Donald Trump's pockets and into the pockets of his children. The Clinton | :40:08. | :40:12. | |
foundation is nonprofit. No Clinton family member takes any salary. In | :40:13. | :40:18. | |
addition, Donald Trump has a foundation. The foundation was just | :40:19. | :40:22. | |
find for illegally contributing foundation dollars to a political | :40:23. | :40:28. | |
campaign. They made an illegal contribution. Then they tried to | :40:29. | :40:31. | |
hide it by disguising it as somebody else. The person they donated it was | :40:32. | :40:36. | |
somebody whose office was charged with investigating Trump University. | :40:37. | :40:42. | |
This is the difference between a foundation that does good work. And | :40:43. | :40:47. | |
somebody who is conflicted into doing work around the world and will | :40:48. | :40:50. | |
not share with the American public what he is doing and what those | :40:51. | :40:54. | |
conflicts are. I will give you 30 seconds to respond. This was about | :40:55. | :40:58. | |
North Korea. LAUGHTER | :40:59. | :41:05. | |
Thank you. The trump foundation is a private family foundation. They give | :41:06. | :41:12. | |
virtually every cent to charitable causes. A $20,000 portrait of Donald | :41:13. | :41:21. | |
Trump? The Clinton foundation as barely given money to charitable | :41:22. | :41:29. | |
causes. 90%. It has allowed them to travel the world, have staff. We | :41:30. | :41:32. | |
would know a lot more about it if Clinton would turn over the 33,000 | :41:33. | :41:36. | |
e-mails that she refused... Thank you. If you had intelligence... If | :41:37. | :41:44. | |
you had intelligence that North Korea was about to launch a missile, | :41:45. | :41:48. | |
a nuclear armed missile capable of reaching the US, would you take | :41:49. | :41:56. | |
pre-emptive action? A president should take actions. The president | :41:57. | :42:02. | |
has to do that. Exactly what action, you would have to determine what | :42:03. | :42:06. | |
you were of that, but you would have you were of that, but you would have | :42:07. | :42:10. | |
to take action. How do we deal with North Korea? We just did an | :42:11. | :42:16. | |
extensive sanctions package against North Korea. The UN followed and it | :42:17. | :42:24. | |
virtually the same package. China will often use their veto in the | :42:25. | :42:27. | |
Security Council to veto a package like that. But they are starting to | :42:28. | :42:31. | |
get worried about North Korea. So they supported the package. Even | :42:32. | :42:34. | |
though many of the sanctions are against Chinese firms. We are | :42:35. | :42:41. | |
working together with China. And we need to. China is one of those | :42:42. | :42:44. | |
relationships where it is competitive, challenging and in | :42:45. | :42:50. | |
times like North Korea we need to be able to cooperate. Hillary Clinton | :42:51. | :42:54. | |
knows that. She once stood up and human rights meeting, look them in | :42:55. | :42:57. | |
the eye and said women's rights are human rights. They didn't want her | :42:58. | :43:02. | |
to say that but she did. She also worked on lots of diplomatic, | :43:03. | :43:05. | |
important diplomatic deals with China, and that is what it is going | :43:06. | :43:09. | |
to take. What I would worry about is that Donald owes around $650 million | :43:10. | :43:15. | |
to banks, including the Bank of China. I'm not sure he could stand | :43:16. | :43:19. | |
up so tough to the people who have loaned him money. This concludes the | :43:20. | :43:23. | |
vice presidential debate. My thanks to the candidates, the commission, | :43:24. | :43:26. | |
and to you for watching. Please tune in this Sunday for the second | :43:27. | :43:31. | |
presidential debate at Washington University, Saint Lewis, and the | :43:32. | :43:35. | |
final debate on the 19th of October at the University of Nevada, Las | :43:36. | :43:45. | |
Vegas. Good night. -- Saint Louis. | :43:46. | :43:47. |
