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.
