:00:20. > :00:27.I like to start with the topic of presidential leadership. 28 years

:00:28. > :00:32.ago tomorrow night, Boyd Benson said the vice presidential debate was not

:00:33. > :00:36.about the qualifications for the vice presidency, but how, if tragedy

:00:37. > :00:42.should occur, the boy 's president has to step in without any margin

:00:43. > :00:45.for error, without time for preparation, to take over

:00:46. > :00:50.responsibility for the biggest job in the world. What about your

:00:51. > :00:57.qualities, skills and temperaments express equip you to step into that

:00:58. > :01:04.role at a moment's moment? Thank you for being here tonight, welcome to

:01:05. > :01:11.Governor p. It is so good to be here in Virginia. 65 years ago a lot -- a

:01:12. > :01:15.young, courageous woman, Barbara Johns, lead a walk out of high

:01:16. > :01:19.school. She made history by protesting school segregation. She

:01:20. > :01:22.believed the nation was stronger together, and that led to the

:01:23. > :01:27.education board decision which moved is down the path toward equality. I

:01:28. > :01:31.am so proud to be running with another strong, history making

:01:32. > :01:35.woman, Hillary Clinton, to be President of the United States. I am

:01:36. > :01:39.proud because her vision of stronger together, building an economy that

:01:40. > :01:51.works for all, not just those at the top, being safe in the world not

:01:52. > :01:53.only with a strong military but strong alliances to battle terrorism

:01:54. > :01:55.and climate change, and also to build a community of respect, just

:01:56. > :01:59.like Barbara Johns try to do 65 years ago. That is why I am so proud

:02:00. > :02:01.to be her running mate. Hillary told me why she asked me. She said the

:02:02. > :02:05.task of administration will not be the signing of passage of the bill.

:02:06. > :02:08.It will be whether we can make some body's life better, whether we can

:02:09. > :02:12.make a classroom of better learning environment for school kids or

:02:13. > :02:17.teachers. Whether we can make it safer. It will be about results. She

:02:18. > :02:25.said to me, you have been a missionary, a civil rights lawyer, a

:02:26. > :02:28.city councillor, a mayor, Lieutenant Governor and governor and now a

:02:29. > :02:31.senator, I think he will help me figure out how to govern this nation

:02:32. > :02:35.so we always keep in mind that the success of the administration is the

:02:36. > :02:41.difference we make in peoples lives. That is what I bring to the ticket,

:02:42. > :02:44.that experience, having served at all levels of Government. But my

:02:45. > :02:48.primary role is to be a strong supporter and right-hand person of

:02:49. > :02:52.Hillary Clinton, I relish that role, I am so proud of her. My wife and I

:02:53. > :03:04.trust Hillary Clinton with the most important thing in life. We have a

:03:05. > :03:05.son deployed overseas in the Marine Corps right now, we trust her as

:03:06. > :03:07.president and commander-in-chief. The thought of Donald Trump as

:03:08. > :03:15.commander-in-chief scares us to death. Governor Pence? Thank you to

:03:16. > :03:26.this university for the hospitality, it is humbling for me to be here. I

:03:27. > :03:29.am surrounded by my wonderful family and, Senator Kaine, it is an honour

:03:30. > :03:33.to be here with you. I would like to thank everybody looking into night,

:03:34. > :03:36.everyone who understands what an important time visitors in the life

:03:37. > :03:42.of the nation. For the last seven years we have seen America's place

:03:43. > :03:47.in the world we can, and economy stifled by more taxes, more

:03:48. > :03:51.regulation, a war on coal and health care reform being known as

:03:52. > :03:55.ObamaCare. American people know we need to make a change. I would like

:03:56. > :03:59.to thank you all for being with us tonight. I would like to thank

:04:00. > :04:04.Donald Trump for making that call and baked it is to be part of that

:04:05. > :04:09.ticket. I am a small-town boy from a place not too different to put

:04:10. > :04:12.Farmville, I had a cornfield in my backyard, my grandfather emigrated

:04:13. > :04:17.to this country out about my son's H. My parents built everything that

:04:18. > :04:23.matters in a small town in Indiana, a family, a good name and a business

:04:24. > :04:28.and raised a family. I dream Sunday of representing my hometown in

:04:29. > :04:31.Washington, DC. But, honestly, I would never imagine that I would

:04:32. > :04:35.have the opportunity to be governor of the state that I love, never mind

:04:36. > :04:40.sitting at a table like this in this kind of position. So to answer your

:04:41. > :04:46.question, I would say that I would hope that if the responsibility ever

:04:47. > :04:50.felt to me in this role, that I would meet it with the way that I

:04:51. > :04:55.will meet the responsibility should I be elected vice president of the

:04:56. > :04:58.United States, that is to bring a lifetime of experience, a lifetime

:04:59. > :05:02.growing up in a small town, a lifetime serving in the Congress of

:05:03. > :05:05.the United States, for I have led a state that works in the great state

:05:06. > :05:09.of Indiana. Whatever more responsibilities might fall from

:05:10. > :05:15.this I would hope and, frankly, I would pray, to be able to meet that

:05:16. > :05:22.with a lifetime of experience. Senator Kaine, you praised Hillary

:05:23. > :05:27.Clinton's character, yet 60% of voters do not think she is

:05:28. > :05:31.trustworthy. Why do so many people mistrust her, is it because they

:05:32. > :05:37.have questions about her e-mails and the Clinton foundation? Here is what

:05:38. > :05:40.people should look at when they look at a public servant. Do they have a

:05:41. > :05:44.passion in their life that showed before they were in public life,

:05:45. > :05:49.have they held onto that throughout their life regardless of whether

:05:50. > :05:54.they were in or not, succeeding or failing? Hillary Clinton has that

:05:55. > :05:57.passion from being a child in a Methodist youth group in Chicago,

:05:58. > :06:03.she has been focused on serving others, with a special focus on

:06:04. > :06:08.empowering families and kids. As a civil rights lawyer in the South,

:06:09. > :06:12.First Lady of Arkansas and the Secretary of State of this country,

:06:13. > :06:16.it has always been about putting people first, in sharp contrast with

:06:17. > :06:20.Donald Trump. Donald Trump always puts himself first. In the words of

:06:21. > :06:25.one of his campaign staff as he built his career on the little

:06:26. > :06:29.people, as a candidate he started his campaign with a speech calling

:06:30. > :06:33.Mexicans rapists and rapists and criminals and has pursued the

:06:34. > :06:38.discredited and outrageous lie that President Obama was not born in the

:06:39. > :06:40.United States. It is so painful to suggest that we go back to think

:06:41. > :06:45.about those days when an African-American could not be a

:06:46. > :06:52.citizen the United States, I can't imagine how Governor Pence can

:06:53. > :06:57.defend the selfish and insult driven style of Donald Trump. You have said

:06:58. > :07:01.Donald Trump is thoughtful, compassionate and steady, yet 67% of

:07:02. > :07:05.voters feel he is a risky choice and 65% feel he does not have the right

:07:06. > :07:12.temperament to be president. Why do so many Americans think he is too

:07:13. > :07:16.erotic? Well first and foremost, Senator, you at Hillary Clinton

:07:17. > :07:22.would know a lot about ten insult driven campaign. At a time when the

:07:23. > :07:26.heck -- in the wake of Hillary Clinton's tenure of Secretary of

:07:27. > :07:32.State, she was the architect of the Obama administration foreign policy,

:07:33. > :07:35.in tire portions of the world are spinning out of control. The

:07:36. > :07:39.situation we are watching in Syria today is a result of the failed and

:07:40. > :07:44.weak foreign policy that Hillary Clinton helped to lead in this

:07:45. > :07:50.administration and create. The newly build and aggression of Russia,

:07:51. > :07:55.whether it was Ukraine or... Daddy handed approach... Dubova have seen

:07:56. > :08:01.Vladimir Putin is... We will go to Russia in a moment. I want to get

:08:02. > :08:06.back to the question. Thank you, Senator. They praised by Toomua

:08:07. > :08:10.Putin as a great leader. We have that coming up. In the meantime, the

:08:11. > :08:15.questions were about your running mates. I must have hit a nerve. In a

:08:16. > :08:19.time of great challenge in the life of this nation, where we have

:08:20. > :08:23.weakened America's place in the world and stifled the American

:08:24. > :08:29.economy, the campaign of Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine has been an

:08:30. > :08:33.avalanche of insults. Donald Trump has built a business, through hard

:08:34. > :08:39.times and good times. He has brought extraordinary business acumen,

:08:40. > :08:44.employ tens of thousands in this Kenji... And paid few taxes and lost

:08:45. > :08:52.$1 billion a year. Why the disconnect with your running mates?

:08:53. > :08:57.There is -- there is a reason why they mistrust Hillary Clinton,

:08:58. > :09:00.because they are paying attention. The Clinton Foundation accepted

:09:01. > :09:05.contributions from foreign governments when she was Secretary

:09:06. > :09:14.of State. Let me talk about this issue. I think I am still on my

:09:15. > :09:18.time. Isn't this a discussion? Let me interrupt you. The Clinton

:09:19. > :09:21.Foundation accepted foreign contributions from foreign

:09:22. > :09:28.governments and foreign donors while she was Secretary of State. She had

:09:29. > :09:33.a private server that was discovered... You have an

:09:34. > :09:37.opportunity later... Governor p does not think the world is going so well

:09:38. > :09:42.and will say it is everybody's faults. -- Governor Pence. When

:09:43. > :09:47.Hillary Clinton became Secretary of State, Osama bin Laden was alive. We

:09:48. > :09:52.had thousands of troops deployed in the battlefield in Iraq and

:09:53. > :09:56.Afghanistan. Iran was racing towards nuclear weapons and Russia was

:09:57. > :10:00.establishing its stockpile. She was part of the national public safety

:10:01. > :10:05.team that revived the dormant hunt against bin Laden and wiped him off

:10:06. > :10:11.the face of the earth. She worked with the Russians to reduce their

:10:12. > :10:15.chemical weapons stockpile. She negotiated with countries around the

:10:16. > :10:21.world to erratic way to the radio nuclear weapons programme. Without

:10:22. > :10:25.firing a shot. -- to eliminate the Arabian nuclear weapons programme.

:10:26. > :10:34.We now have 15,000 troops deployed overseas. And Iraq has been overrun

:10:35. > :10:42.by Isis. Hillary Clinton failed to renegotiate starters... We removed

:10:43. > :10:49.all our jobs from Iraq, Isis developed in the vacuum and overrun

:10:50. > :10:53.vast areas of Iraq. President Bush said we would leave Iraq at the end

:10:54. > :10:58.of 2011. Iraq did not want the troops to stay and would not give as

:10:59. > :11:01.protection for the troops. If a nation where our troops are serving

:11:02. > :11:10.does not want us to stay, we will not stay. It was a failure...

:11:11. > :11:12.Gentlemen, Senator Tim Scott, he was African-American, your fellow

:11:13. > :11:16.Republican, recently spoke on the Senate floor. He said he was stopped

:11:17. > :11:22.seven times by law enforcement in one year. He said, I have felt the

:11:23. > :11:28.anger, the frustration, the sadness and she many Asian that comes with

:11:29. > :11:32.feeling that you are being targeted for nothing more than being just

:11:33. > :11:41.yourself -- the sadness and unary Asian. What would you say to him? I

:11:42. > :11:44.have the deepest respect for him and he is a friend. We need to adapt

:11:45. > :11:51.Criminal Justice Bill for nationally. I saying this in

:11:52. > :11:56.Indiana, we're very proud of it. I worked on the second chance act in

:11:57. > :12:01.Congress. We had to do a better job of recognising and correcting the

:12:02. > :12:06.errors in the system that reflect an institutional bias in criminal

:12:07. > :12:12.justice. What Donald Trump and I are saying is let's not have the reflex

:12:13. > :12:17.of assuming the worst of men and women in law enforcement. We treat

:12:18. > :12:22.the -- truly believe that law enforcement... What would you say to

:12:23. > :12:25.Senator Scott? Law enforcement in this country is a force for good,

:12:26. > :12:34.they truly put their lives on the line every single day. I would

:12:35. > :12:37.suggest that what we need to do is assert a stronger leadership at

:12:38. > :12:42.national level to support law enforcement. Senator Kaine just

:12:43. > :12:46.rejected a stop in Frisk. I would suggest that the families living in

:12:47. > :12:57.inter-cities that are besieged by crime...

:12:58. > :13:02.Criminal justice is about respecting law and being respected by the law.

:13:03. > :13:08.There is a fundamental respect issue. I want to talk about the tone

:13:09. > :13:12.set from the top. Donald Trump has called Mexicans rapists and

:13:13. > :13:16.criminals, he has called women slobs, pigs, dogs, disgusting. I

:13:17. > :13:20.don't like saying about in front of my wife and mother. He attacked in

:13:21. > :13:23.Indiana born federal judge and said he was unqualified to hear a federal

:13:24. > :13:38.lawsuit because his parents were Mexican. He went after John McCain,

:13:39. > :13:41.a POW, and said he was not a hero because he was captured. He said

:13:42. > :13:43.African-Americans are living in hell and perpetrated an outrageous and

:13:44. > :13:44.bigoted like that President Obama is not a US citizen.

:13:45. > :13:47.If you want a society where people are respected and respect laws, you

:13:48. > :13:51.can't have somebody at the top demeaning every group that he talks

:13:52. > :13:54.about. Again, I cannot believe that Governor Pence will defend the

:13:55. > :14:00.insult of an campaign run by Donald Trump. I want to turn to

:14:01. > :14:04.immigration. Your running mates have both said that and documented

:14:05. > :14:08.immigrants who have committed violent crime should be deported.

:14:09. > :14:13.What would you tell the millions of undocumented immigrants who have not

:14:14. > :14:16.committed violent crimes? Donald Trump has laid out a plan to end

:14:17. > :14:21.illegal immigration once and for all. We have been talking it to

:14:22. > :14:25.death the 20 years. Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine want to continue the

:14:26. > :14:34.policies of open borders, Amnesty, catch and release, century cities,

:14:35. > :14:39.all the things driving wages down in this country, and too off with

:14:40. > :14:42.criminal aliens in the country it has led to heartbreak. Donald Trump

:14:43. > :14:49.has a plan that he laid out in Arizona. It will deal systematically

:14:50. > :14:53.with illegal immigration, beginning with border security and internal

:14:54. > :14:58.enforcement. For the first time in the history of immigrations and

:14:59. > :15:01.Customs enforcement, their union endorsed Donald Trump as the next

:15:02. > :15:04.President of the United States, because they know they need help to

:15:05. > :15:09.enforce the laws of this country. Donald Trump has laid out a priority

:15:10. > :15:13.to remove criminal aliens, people who have overstayed their visas.

:15:14. > :15:17.Once we have accomplished all of that, which will strengthen the

:15:18. > :15:26.economy, the rule of law and make communities safer once the criminal

:15:27. > :15:28.aliens are right, then we'll deal with those that remain. I had to

:15:29. > :15:33.tell you, I was listening to the avalanche of insults coming out of

:15:34. > :15:42.Senator Cain. -- Senator Kaine. It is my time. He says ours is an

:15:43. > :15:47.insult driven campaign? Did you just hear that, I was this? To be honest

:15:48. > :15:50.with you, if Donald Trump had said all the things that you said he said

:15:51. > :15:54.in the way that he said, he still would not have a fraction of the

:15:55. > :16:01.insults that Hillary Clinton levelled when she said that half of

:16:02. > :16:06.our supporters were a basket of deplorables. She said they were

:16:07. > :16:14.irredeemable, not American. It is extraordinary. And then she laid one

:16:15. > :16:16.after another ism on millions of Americans who believe they can have

:16:17. > :16:21.a stronger America at home and abroad, who believe that get the

:16:22. > :16:27.economy moving again and end illegal immigration once and for all. This

:16:28. > :16:31.insult driven campaign, that is small potatoes compared to Hillary

:16:32. > :16:39.Clinton. She called half-out Trump's supporters a basket of deplorables.

:16:40. > :16:42.Hillary Clinton said something on the campaign trail and

:16:43. > :16:47.the next day. Look for Donald Trump the next day. Look for Donald Trump

:16:48. > :16:51.apologising to John McCain for apologising to John McCain for

:16:52. > :16:56.saying he wasn't a hero, did Donald Trump apologise for calling women

:16:57. > :17:01.pics and slopes and disgusting? It is his two minutes, please. -- pigs

:17:02. > :17:08.and slobs. Did he apologise for and slobs. Did he apologise for

:17:09. > :17:15.saying African Americans are living in hell? Did he apologise for saying

:17:16. > :17:20.Barack Obama wasn't a citizen of the US? He never takes responsibility.

:17:21. > :17:29.Immigration, two plans, Hillary and I believe incompetence if

:17:30. > :17:37.immigration -- competent immigration. Keeping families

:17:38. > :17:41.together is the top goal. That will help focus enforcement efforts and

:17:42. > :17:45.those who are violent. We will do more border control. We will provide

:17:46. > :17:53.a path to citizenship for those who play by the rules. That is our

:17:54. > :17:57.proposal. Trump proposes to deport 16 million people. 11 million are

:17:58. > :18:01.here without documents. Trump and Mike Pence want to get rid of

:18:02. > :18:08.birthrights citizenship. So if you were born here, but your parents

:18:09. > :18:14.don't have documents, they want a -- to eliminate that. Deportation. They

:18:15. > :18:18.want to go house-to-house, school to school, business to business, and

:18:19. > :18:24.kick out 16 million people. That is nonsense. I cannot believe the

:18:25. > :18:28.governor would defend his running mate's claim that we should create a

:18:29. > :18:31.deportation force so they will all be gone. We have a deportation

:18:32. > :18:37.Foskett is called immigration and Customs enforcement. I would like to

:18:38. > :18:44.shift to the threat of terrorism. -- deportation force, it is called. Has

:18:45. > :18:51.the terrorist threat increased or decreased? It has decreased in some

:18:52. > :18:57.ways. Osama Bin Laden instead. It is decreased in some way because of the

:18:58. > :19:05.Errani nuclear weapon is programme has stopped. -- Iranians nuclear

:19:06. > :19:09.weapons programme has stopped. Other parts of the world are challenging.

:19:10. > :19:13.To beat terrorism there is only one candidate that can do that and that

:19:14. > :19:17.is Hillary Clinton. She was the senator from New York at 911. She

:19:18. > :19:22.was at the World Trade Center when they were searching for victims and

:19:23. > :19:27.survivors. That is seared onto her, the need to beat terrorism. And she

:19:28. > :19:32.has a plan to do it. She was part of the National security team that

:19:33. > :19:36.wiped out Osama Bin Laden. First, we have to keep taking out I saw's

:19:37. > :19:43.leaders. She was part of the team that got Osama Bin Laden. -- Isil.

:19:44. > :19:47.We had to disrupt financing networks. Third, disrupt their

:19:48. > :19:52.ability to recruit on the Internet and in safe havens. Fourth, we have

:19:53. > :19:55.to work with allies to share and surge intelligence. That is the

:19:56. > :20:00.Hillary Clinton plan. She has the experience to do it. Donald Trump

:20:01. > :20:03.cannot start a Twitter war with Miss universe without shooting himself in

:20:04. > :20:09.the foot. Donald Trump doesn't have a plan. He said I have a secret

:20:10. > :20:15.plan, and then he said, I know more than all of the generals about Isil.

:20:16. > :20:18.Then he said he was going to call them to figure out a plan. Finally

:20:19. > :20:23.he said he was going to fire all of the generals. He does have dangerous

:20:24. > :20:26.ideas. He trashed talks the military. The military is a

:20:27. > :20:34.disaster. John McCain is no hero. The generals need to be fired. And I

:20:35. > :20:37.know more than them. Nato was obsolete. And will only work

:20:38. > :20:47.together with Israel if they pay bigger league. He has a personal

:20:48. > :20:56.Mount Rushmore, Kim, Vladimir Putin, Gaddafi, and he believes the world

:20:57. > :21:01.will be safer if more nations have more nuclear weapons. -- him,

:21:02. > :21:06.Vladimir Putin, Gaddafi, and King John and. When he was told wait a

:21:07. > :21:10.minute, terrorists could get those, proliferation could lead to war,

:21:11. > :21:12.Donald Trump said, go ahead, folks, enjoy yourselves. I would love to

:21:13. > :21:19.hear what he thinks is enjoyable and hear what he thinks is enjoyable and

:21:20. > :21:23.work on that one a long time? That work on that one a long time? That

:21:24. > :21:29.had creative minds in it. I want to see if you can defend any of it. I

:21:30. > :21:33.can make it clear to the American people. After travelling millions of

:21:34. > :21:37.miles as our secretary of State, after being the architect of the

:21:38. > :21:42.foreign policy in this administration, America is less safe

:21:43. > :21:46.today than it was before Barack Obama became president. It is

:21:47. > :21:50.inarguable. We have weakened America's place in the world. It has

:21:51. > :21:57.been a combination of factors. But maybe a lack of leadership. I was in

:21:58. > :22:04.Washington, DC and 911. I saw the clouds of smoke rise. I was in

:22:05. > :22:07.Virginia, in the Pentagon. I know, we all live through that day as a

:22:08. > :22:13.nation. It's heartbreaking. I want to give the president credit for

:22:14. > :22:19.bringing Osama Bin Laden to justice. Truth is, he let Al-Qaeda. The

:22:20. > :22:25.primary threat today is Isis. Because Hillary Clinton failed to

:22:26. > :22:29.renegotiate an agreement which would have allowed some American combat

:22:30. > :22:35.troops to remain in Iraq and secure the hard-fought gains the American

:22:36. > :22:42.soldiers had won by 2009, Isis was able to be conjured up out of the

:22:43. > :22:46.desert, these overrun vast areas, that the American soldier had not

:22:47. > :22:53.won. My heart breaks for the likes of Lance Corporal Scott 's

:22:54. > :23:01.Grabowski. He fought hard through some of the most difficult days in

:23:02. > :23:06.operation in Iraqi Freedom. And he paid the ultimate sacrifice for our

:23:07. > :23:12.freedom. That nation was secured in 2009. But because Hillary Clinton

:23:13. > :23:16.and Barack Obama failed to provide a status of forces agreement and leave

:23:17. > :23:22.sufficient troops in there, we are back at war. More troops have been

:23:23. > :23:27.deployed to the ground. And the Lance Corporal's mother would always

:23:28. > :23:35.come to see me. I would always give her a hug and say we will never

:23:36. > :23:38.forget her son. We never will. Syria, 250,000 people, 100,000 of

:23:39. > :23:45.them children, are under siege in Aleppo. Weapons and bombs are being

:23:46. > :23:50.dropped on them by Russian and civilian military 's. Does the US

:23:51. > :23:55.civilians and prevent mass civilians and prevent mass

:23:56. > :24:01.casualties on the scale. -- militaries. About Aleppo and Syria.

:24:02. > :24:08.What America ought to do right now is established safe zones. So that

:24:09. > :24:12.families and vulnerable people can move out of those areas, work with

:24:13. > :24:18.our Arab partners, real-time, right now, to make that happen. Second,

:24:19. > :24:24.the provocations by Russia need to be met with American strength. If

:24:25. > :24:29.Russia chooses to be involved and continue to be involved in this

:24:30. > :24:32.barbaric attack on civilians in Aleppo, the US should be prepared to

:24:33. > :24:39.use military force to strike military targets of the Assad

:24:40. > :24:43.regime. To prevent them from this humanitarian crisis that is taking

:24:44. > :24:48.range of other things we ought to range of other things we ought to

:24:49. > :24:51.do. We ought to deploy a missile defence shield to the Czech Republic

:24:52. > :24:57.and Poland which Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama pulled back and for

:24:58. > :25:01.fear of offending the Russians in 2009, we just need to have American

:25:02. > :25:04.strength on the stage. When Donald Trump becomes president, Russia and

:25:05. > :25:07.other countries in the world will know they are dealing with a strong

:25:08. > :25:19.American president. Hillary and I agree that the establishment of

:25:20. > :25:26.be a very good idea. You mentioned a be a very good idea. You mentioned a

:25:27. > :25:30.setting up a safe sound? How would setting up a safe sound? How would

:25:31. > :25:37.you keep it safe? First and foremost, Donald Trump support our

:25:38. > :25:43.troops. But he won't pay taxes. Do you not take deductions? Please, I

:25:44. > :25:51.would like to ask... It is about our troops. I understand why he won't

:25:52. > :25:56.change the subject -- what he would like to change the subject. Do you

:25:57. > :26:01.think Donald Trump... Gentlemen, we will have time to get to that...

:26:02. > :26:04.What we are dealing with... There is an old proverb that says the Russian

:26:05. > :26:08.Bear never dies it just hibernates. Truth of the matter is we can

:26:09. > :26:11.factors foreign policy if Hillary factors foreign policy if Hillary

:26:12. > :26:19.Clinton and Barack Obama has awakened and aggression in Russia.

:26:20. > :26:23.Now they are moving into the wider Middle East and all the while, all

:26:24. > :26:26.we do is fold our arms and say we are not having talks and more. To

:26:27. > :26:33.answer your question, we need American strength. We need to

:26:34. > :26:38.marshal the resources of our allies in the region. And in the immediate,

:26:39. > :26:41.we need to act, and act now to get people out of harms way. How would

:26:42. > :26:47.those safe zones work? How would they remain safe? They would have to

:26:48. > :26:51.be, as the senator said, there is already a framework that has been

:26:52. > :26:54.recognised by the international community. The US needs to be

:26:55. > :26:59.prepared to work with our allies in the region to create a route for

:27:00. > :27:02.safe passage and then to protect people in those areas, including

:27:03. > :27:07.with a no-fly zone. This is tough stuff. I served on the Foreign

:27:08. > :27:11.Affairs Committee for a decade, I travelled in and out of that area

:27:12. > :27:16.for decades. I saw what the American soldier won in the operation Iraqi

:27:17. > :27:21.Freedom. To see the weakened, feckless leadership Hillary Clinton

:27:22. > :27:27.was the architect of... Let me come back and talk about that... That is

:27:28. > :27:31.deeply troubling to me... He doesn't want act knowledge that we stopped

:27:32. > :27:35.the Iranians nuclear weapons programme. You didn't. He doesn't

:27:36. > :27:39.want act knowledge that Hillary Clinton was part of the team that

:27:40. > :27:43.got Osama Bin Laden. I just did. And that it is a good thing, not a bad

:27:44. > :27:48.thing, that we are down and troops deployed. Let me tell you what would

:27:49. > :27:58.make the Middle East dangerous. Donald Trump... Ronald Reagan said

:27:59. > :28:05.proliferation. He said the problem proliferation. He said the problem

:28:06. > :28:10.with it is that some fool or maniac could trigger a catastrophic event.

:28:11. > :28:15.And I think that is who his running mate is. Exactly who president

:28:16. > :28:20.Reagan worried us about. That is pretty low, even for you. Do you

:28:21. > :28:24.think we should have more nuclear weapons in the world, that that

:28:25. > :28:30.would make us safer? Ronald Reagan also said a nuclear war should never

:28:31. > :28:35.be fought because it can never be won. The USA needs to make

:28:36. > :28:41.investment in modernising our nuclear figures... You defend

:28:42. > :28:48.Trump's claims... Let me go back to this Iran saying. He keeps saying

:28:49. > :28:51.Hillary Clinton started the deal with the Iranians and that it

:28:52. > :28:57.prevented Iran from getting nuclear weapons. That is what the joint

:28:58. > :29:05.chiefs of staff are saying. That is not what Israel thinks. You can go

:29:06. > :29:08.and check it. I know you boycotted Benjamin Netanyahu. I visited him in

:29:09. > :29:14.his office. You boycotted his speech. This so-called Iran deal,

:29:15. > :29:20.what it did was essentially guaranteed... When I was in Congress

:29:21. > :29:22.I fought hard and a bipartisan basis with Republican and Democrat members

:29:23. > :29:29.to move forward the toughest sanctions. Literally in the history

:29:30. > :29:33.of the US. Then Hillary Clinton used them. We were bringing them to heel.

:29:34. > :29:36.With the goal that we would only lift the sanctions if Iran

:29:37. > :29:44.ambitions. They have not renounced ambitions. They have not renounced

:29:45. > :29:49.their nuclear ambitions. When the deals period runs out there is no

:29:50. > :29:53.limitation and obtaining weapons. $1.7 billion in a ransom payment...

:29:54. > :29:59.We need to talk about Russia quickly. Six times tonight I have

:30:00. > :30:02.said to govern appends by donor how you can defend your running mate's

:30:03. > :30:18.position on one issue after the next. -- Governor Pence and how you

:30:19. > :30:24.can defend. I think this just underlines... I will take them one

:30:25. > :30:31.at a time if he wants. More nations should get nuclear weapons? Try to

:30:32. > :30:36.defend that. He has never said that. Gentleman, Russia, Vladimir Putin

:30:37. > :30:42.invaded Ukraine, annexed Crimea, and has given military support to the

:30:43. > :30:46.Assad regime. What stops would your Administration taken to counter

:30:47. > :30:50.tough and Russia. Let's start by not tough and Russia. Let's start by not

:30:51. > :30:59.leader. -- and Russia. He and Donald leader. -- and Russia. He and Donald

:31:00. > :31:01.Trump has said he is a great leader. Donald Trump has business pleadings

:31:02. > :31:07.with Russia that he refuses to disclose. Hillary Clinton has gone

:31:08. > :31:10.toe two Toe with Russia. She went toe to toe with Russia as Secretary

:31:11. > :31:21.of State to do the new start agreement, to reduce Russia's

:31:22. > :31:25.nuclear stockpile. -- toe-to-toe. She protested when they went into

:31:26. > :31:29.Georgia. We have that punishing economic sanctions and Russia that

:31:30. > :31:33.we need to continue since they invaded Ukraine. Donald Trump did

:31:34. > :31:36.not know that Russia had invaded the Crimea. He was on the TV show and he

:31:37. > :31:40.said, I guarantee you this, Russia is not going into Ukraine. He had to

:31:41. > :31:55.be reminded that they had gone into the Crimea two years before. Hillary

:31:56. > :32:00.Clinton has gone toe-to-toe with Russia. She stood up to them on

:32:01. > :32:03.issues of Syria and their invasion of Georgia. You have to have the

:32:04. > :32:07.ability to do that and Hillary does. And the other hand you have Donald

:32:08. > :32:11.Trump who is somebody who praises Vladimir Putin all the time. America

:32:12. > :32:18.should wonder about a president tramp who had a campaign manager

:32:19. > :32:25.with ties to Vladimir Putin. -- president Trump. When he is sitting

:32:26. > :32:30.down with Vladimir Putin, is it going to be America's Bottom Line,

:32:31. > :32:36.or Donald Trump's Bottom Line with all of his business deals? This

:32:37. > :32:41.could be solved if Donald Trump would release his tax returns. I

:32:42. > :32:45.know he is laughing at this. What has that got to do with Russia?

:32:46. > :32:51.Every president since Richard Nixon has done it. The only way the

:32:52. > :32:58.American public will see if he has a conflict of interest will be if you

:32:59. > :33:02.release -- if he released his tax returns. I'm just trying to keep up

:33:03. > :33:08.with the insult driven campaign. I'm just saying facts about your running

:33:09. > :33:09.mate. Senator, please. Do not put words in my mouth. I'm not defending

:33:10. > :33:19.him. Most of what you said is false. him. Most of what you said is false.

:33:20. > :33:22.The American people know that. This is not like the old days where you

:33:23. > :33:28.say stuff and people just believe it. This is the alternate universe

:33:29. > :33:35.of Washington facing reality. Hillary said her number one priority

:33:36. > :33:40.was reset Russia. That resulted in the invasion of Ukraine. After the

:33:41. > :33:44.infiltrated with what they called Little Green men, Russian soldiers

:33:45. > :33:48.who were dressing up like Ukrainian dissidents. Then they went into the

:33:49. > :33:51.Crimea and took the peninsula. Donald Trump knew that happened. He

:33:52. > :33:58.said it won't happen again. The truth of the matter is... What you

:33:59. > :34:07.have in the rise of aggressive Russia, which has influenced its --

:34:08. > :34:13.which strengthened its influence in Iran. The leading state of terror in

:34:14. > :34:18.the world in Iran now has a closer working relationship with Russia

:34:19. > :34:24.because Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama's foreign policy allowed it.

:34:25. > :34:28.And then the sanctions were lifted. And then Syria, this is

:34:29. > :34:34.extraordinary, Syria is imploding. View asked a thoughtful question

:34:35. > :34:43.about the disaster in Aleppo. Isis is headquartered in Raqqa. They have

:34:44. > :34:51.taken areas that the American soldier won. They are saying that

:34:52. > :34:55.the foreign policy of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama somehow

:34:56. > :35:01.made the world more secure. It really is astonishing. We have wiped

:35:02. > :35:07.out the leader of Al-Qaeda. Please. We delivered 400 million in cash as

:35:08. > :35:21.a ransom payment for Americans held by the radical leader in terror --

:35:22. > :35:25.in Tehran. Vladimir Putin is a dictator. He isn't a leader. Anybody

:35:26. > :35:31.who things otherwise doesn't know Russian history or Vladimir Putin.

:35:32. > :35:36.Clinton knows who this guy is. John McCain said I looked in his eyes and

:35:37. > :35:40.I see KGB. Hillary has the same feeling. How do you deal with him?

:35:41. > :35:45.We have to deal with Russia in lots of ways. There are areas where we

:35:46. > :35:49.can cooperate. It was Clinton who worked with Russia and the new start

:35:50. > :35:53.treaty to reduce their nuclear weapons stockpile. Clinton worked

:35:54. > :35:59.with Russia to get them engaged in a community of nations to stop the

:36:00. > :36:03.Iranians nuclear weapons programme. She is not praising Vladimir Putin

:36:04. > :36:08.is a great guy. But she knows how to sit down at a table and negotiate

:36:09. > :36:12.tough deals. This is a challenging part of the world. We ought to have

:36:13. > :36:15.a commander-in-chief who is prepared and has done it, rather than

:36:16. > :36:20.somebody who goes around praising Vladimir Putin is a great leader. I

:36:21. > :36:24.would like to ask about North Korea and the threat of nuclear weapons.

:36:25. > :36:28.North Korea recently conducted its fifth and most powerful nuclear

:36:29. > :36:33.test. What specific steps would you take to prevent North Korea from

:36:34. > :36:42.producing a nuclear armed missile capable of reaching the US? We need

:36:43. > :36:46.to make a commitment to rebuild our military. Including modernising our

:36:47. > :36:52.forces. We also need an effective American diplomacy that will marshal

:36:53. > :37:06.the resources of nations in the Asian Pacific rim to put pressure on

:37:07. > :37:09.North Korea, on Kim Jong-un. We must take nuclear weapons away from the

:37:10. > :37:18.Korean peninsula. When Donald Trump is president we won't have the kind

:37:19. > :37:21.of posture in the world that has Russia invading Crimea and Ukraine.

:37:22. > :37:28.That has the Chinese building islands. That has the world flouting

:37:29. > :37:33.back to the days of peace through back to the days of peace through

:37:34. > :37:38.strength. I have to tell you that all this talk about tax returns, and

:37:39. > :37:47.I get it, you want to keep bringing it up, but... Hillary Clinton and

:37:48. > :37:49.her husband set up a private foundation called the

:37:50. > :37:52.foundation. While she was Secretary foundation. While she was Secretary

:37:53. > :37:56.of State the Clinton foundation accepted tens of millions of dollars

:37:57. > :38:05.from foreign governments. And foreign donors. You all need to

:38:06. > :38:08.know. This is basic stuff. Foreign donors and foreign governments

:38:09. > :38:11.cannot participate in the American political process. They cannot make

:38:12. > :38:16.financial contributions. But the Clintons figured out a way to create

:38:17. > :38:21.a foundation where foreign governments and foreign donors could

:38:22. > :38:26.we found out that more than half of we found out that more than half of

:38:27. > :38:29.her private meetings when she was secretary of state were given to

:38:30. > :38:33.major donors of the Clinton foundation. You talk about all of

:38:34. > :38:38.these baseless rumours about Russia and the rest, Hillary Clinton... You

:38:39. > :38:43.asked a trustworthy question at the beginning. Averna, your two minutes

:38:44. > :38:49.are up. They are looking at the pay to play politics she operated with

:38:50. > :38:55.the Clinton foundation. -- Governor. I will talk about the foundation

:38:56. > :38:59.then North Korea. And the foundation, I'm glad we talked about

:39:00. > :39:05.it. The Clinton foundation is one of the highest rated charities in the

:39:06. > :39:09.world. It provides aids drugs to around 11.5 million people. It helps

:39:10. > :39:13.Americans deal with opiate overdoses. It gets higher rankings

:39:14. > :39:18.for its charity than the American Red Cross does. The Clinton

:39:19. > :39:22.foundation does a lot of good work. Hillary Clinton as Secretary of

:39:23. > :39:25.State took no action to benefit the foundation. The State Department did

:39:26. > :39:30.an investigation and concluded everything she did as secretary of

:39:31. > :39:33.state was completely in the interest of the US. The foundation does good

:39:34. > :39:38.work. Hillary Clinton acted in the work. Hillary Clinton acted in the

:39:39. > :39:43.interest of the US. Let's compare this with the Trump Organisation and

:39:44. > :39:47.the trump foundation. The Trump organisation is an octopus like

:39:48. > :39:50.organisation with tentacles all over the world, whose

:39:51. > :39:54.conflict-of-interest could only be known if Donald Trump would release

:39:55. > :40:00.his tax returns. He has refused to do it. His sons have said that the

:40:01. > :40:03.organisation has a lot of business dealings in Russia. Remember, the

:40:04. > :40:07.Trump organisation is not a nonprofit, it is putting money in

:40:08. > :40:12.Donald Trump's pockets and into the pockets of his children. The Clinton

:40:13. > :40:18.foundation is nonprofit. No Clinton family member takes any salary. In

:40:19. > :40:22.addition, Donald Trump has a foundation. The foundation was just

:40:23. > :40:28.find for illegally contributing foundation dollars to a political

:40:29. > :40:31.campaign. They made an illegal contribution. Then they tried to

:40:32. > :40:36.hide it by disguising it as somebody else. The person they donated it was

:40:37. > :40:42.somebody whose office was charged with investigating Trump University.

:40:43. > :40:47.This is the difference between a foundation that does good work. And

:40:48. > :40:50.somebody who is conflicted into doing work around the world and will

:40:51. > :40:54.not share with the American public what he is doing and what those

:40:55. > :40:58.conflicts are. I will give you 30 seconds to respond. This was about

:40:59. > :41:05.North Korea. LAUGHTER

:41:06. > :41:12.Thank you. The trump foundation is a private family foundation. They give

:41:13. > :41:21.virtually every cent to charitable causes. A $20,000 portrait of Donald

:41:22. > :41:29.Trump? The Clinton foundation as barely given money to charitable

:41:30. > :41:32.causes. 90%. It has allowed them to travel the world, have staff. We

:41:33. > :41:36.would know a lot more about it if Clinton would turn over the 33,000

:41:37. > :41:44.e-mails that she refused... Thank you. If you had intelligence... If

:41:45. > :41:48.you had intelligence that North Korea was about to launch a missile,

:41:49. > :41:56.a nuclear armed missile capable of reaching the US, would you take

:41:57. > :42:02.pre-emptive action? A president should take actions. The president

:42:03. > :42:06.has to do that. Exactly what action, you would have to determine what

:42:07. > :42:10.you were of that, but you would have you were of that, but you would have

:42:11. > :42:16.to take action. How do we deal with North Korea? We just did an

:42:17. > :42:24.extensive sanctions package against North Korea. The UN followed and it

:42:25. > :42:27.virtually the same package. China will often use their veto in the

:42:28. > :42:31.Security Council to veto a package like that. But they are starting to

:42:32. > :42:34.get worried about North Korea. So they supported the package. Even

:42:35. > :42:41.though many of the sanctions are against Chinese firms. We are

:42:42. > :42:44.working together with China. And we need to. China is one of those

:42:45. > :42:50.relationships where it is competitive, challenging and in

:42:51. > :42:54.times like North Korea we need to be able to cooperate. Hillary Clinton

:42:55. > :42:57.knows that. She once stood up and human rights meeting, look them in

:42:58. > :43:02.the eye and said women's rights are human rights. They didn't want her

:43:03. > :43:05.to say that but she did. She also worked on lots of diplomatic,

:43:06. > :43:09.important diplomatic deals with China, and that is what it is going

:43:10. > :43:15.to take. What I would worry about is that Donald owes around $650 million

:43:16. > :43:19.to banks, including the Bank of China. I'm not sure he could stand

:43:20. > :43:23.up so tough to the people who have loaned him money. This concludes the

:43:24. > :43:26.vice presidential debate. My thanks to the candidates, the commission,

:43:27. > :43:31.and to you for watching. Please tune in this Sunday for the second

:43:32. > :43:35.presidential debate at Washington University, Saint Lewis, and the

:43:36. > :43:45.final debate on the 19th of October at the University of Nevada, Las

:43:46. > :43:47.Vegas. Good night. -- Saint Louis.
