Of what we have accomplished, but we know that we have a long way to go. Senator sanders, thank you so much. Lets give a hand to senator sanders. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. [ applause ] okay, time for a selfie. Now, please welcome secretary of state Hillary Clinton. Hi. Hi. How are you . Good to see you. Good to see you. Please have a seat. Thank you for coming to our party. [ applause ] so, welcome, and thank you for being here. Thank you, thank you. I understand that you were just speaking to the Ohio Democratic party. Right. And you had a few choice words about the republican frontrunner. I did. A couple. And specifically, about the violence at his rallies and some of the comments, and we talked about it with senator sanders, and what are your concerns . Well, i think that all americans should be concerned. It is clear that donald trump is running a very cynical campaign pitting groups of americans against one another. He is trafficking in hate and fear. He is playing to our worst instincts rather than our angels of the better nature. He actually incites violence in the way that he urges his audience on. You know, talking about punching people, and offering to pay legal bills, and then on the specifics, you know, we know that he has been incredibly bigoted towards so many groups. He talks about deporting 11, 12 million immigrants, and we are a nation built on immigrants. And he talks about preventing muslims from coming into the country, and we believe in religiouses freedom there is just so much of what he is doing that i think that we all have to are reject. Because, it is so at odds with our values. You dont make America Great by tearing down everything that made America Great. And so lets stand up and with one voice reject that. [ applause ] and donald trump, to play devils advocate, he says it is supporters of senator sanders and yours who came to chicago to shut down his rally with violence. Obvio obviously, when we looked at the horrific pictures from that night, it was not easy to discern that one side was right, and the the other side was right or what was going on, because there were a lot of people fighting, and do you think that there are democrats who also need to be cautioned violence is not the way to go here . Well, lets start with what i think is the truth. Donald trump is responsible for what happens at his events. He is the person who [ applause ] who has for months now been not just inciting violence, but applauding violence. The images of the, you nknow, te young africanamerican protester being attacked totally without any provocation whatsoever, and having donald trump say that he would pay the legal bills of the attacker, and clearly people who engage in protests should follow civil disobedience principles, and be peaceful, and should be nonviolent, but i do think that as i said the other day what trump has done is like a case of political arson. You know, he has lit the fire and then he throws his hands up, and claims that he should isnt be held responsible, and he should be held responsible. Secretary clinton, yesterday, you were in st. Louis, and talking about the carpenters and the people who built the nation, and both you and senator sanders have Significant Union support, and yet many of the trade unions that we talk about who built the country have locked out black folks and other minorities for decades, and would you right now and even as president call a meeting with with the trade unions and say, it is time for you the open up those doors and bring in more africanamericans and hispanics and others because those are highpaying jobs, and if we are saying rebuild america with huge infrastructure and billions of dollars, and they are going to be doing it, and the black folks and others are going to be on the outside looking in. Roland, i certainly agree, and i are have been an advocate for opening up unions, businesses, academic institution, and every institution in our country, and it is for me a special commitment that we would up apprenticeships for the full diversity of our country. And i dont mean any disrespect, but apprenticeshis s are training job, and i am talking about the folks who are train and can to the job, and that is the early folks, but i am talking about the trained folks. That is the whole gamut, and which have been in a number of training facilities, and in my visits which goes back to my time in the senate, there is a very diverse representation. Now we do need to work much more dilige diligently to open up all of the trades, all of the businesses, and you will certainly see me push i pushing, that and there is going to be so much work if i have my way and im so fortunate to be president that we are going to need a much bigger workforce to do infrastructure and advanced manufacturing, Clean Energy Job s, and it would be counter productive as well as wrong to keep anybody out. So i have a tax credit to expand apprenticeship programs, and you right, we have to focus on those who have the skills, but we need a big pipeline, and i came from a really interesting meeting that i had in merion, ohio, before coming here, and i taledd to people who have been running great tech programs. I know that senator brown is supporting something called ram tech, and it is really focused on making the case, and i need your h help in the immediamediae the case, there are very many good jobs in the trades, but a lot of people are not really encourage encouraged to go that direction. We do it on tvone. And yes, please do it, because right now, i was told in ohio there are 60,000 Jobs Available for skilled work in the trades and these are jobs that go 40,000 to 50,000 to 60 to start, and i met a woman welder in merion, and she got into the program, and got her certification in welding, and she is, you know, already moving from 14 an hour to 19 an hour with more increases in sight. So, we have got to open up the trades, but we also have to encourage the more people to think about those as an occasion profession. Lets meet some more voters if you would walk over here, mad a. M. Secretary, and this is a steel worker, mr. Kelly. Hi. Nice to see you, and im a 47yearold excuse me. Im a 47yearold laid off steel worker from lower merion, ind n indiana, and i have a wife, and two kids and a car and a house, and there are thousands of Steel Workers ready to lose everything because of the Illegal Dumping of foreign steel. Right. And the federal government came out and helped the Auto Industry by giving out or giving them loans so they could keep running, and they also helped out the baking systems. My question to you is, do you think or doyou believe thatit is possible for the government to do the same for the Steel Industry, and if not, why . Thank you. How long have you been laid off . Since november, but i have friends that have been out since m march of 2015. Well, i just finished speaking about this at the Democratic Party dinner. And i think that number one, we have to take much more aggressive action to stop the dumping. I believe that the dumping is illegal, and that we have to summon up the political and the legal arguments to take pit on, and this is not new for me. I fought for our Steel Companies and workers in new york when i was a senator, and i testified before the International Trade commission, and this is something that i know congressman bay di and senator brown and i all aing a e gree on with whi we all agree on that you shouldnt have to be a business or union or worker to bring these kinds of the unfair trade practices to a legal forum. I want the government the do it. I want the United States government to stand up for steel and stand up for the companies and the workers, and now [ applause ] i have also propofirst time ever a trade prosecutor who would report directly to the president , and more investigators so that we dont wait until the damage is done, and we try to get in early to prevent it, and then make it possible for are there to be some kind of recovery. I happy to think that a Steel Industry is in Americas National security interests as well as our economic interests, and so what i will tell you [ applause ] in addition to enforcing the laws and trying to really go after the major rule breaker and the global economy, namely china, we have to look at how we keep a Steel Industry going. Standing here tonight, i cant tell you exactly what that would look like, but i can pledge to you that im committed to keeping a Steel Industry and Steel Workers working in ohio and america. Madam secretary, lets bring in Anne Valentine who is a trial lawyer and she said if she had to choose right now, she would choose you, but she is still torn, and she has a question. Great. Senator clinton, thank you for taking my question. One of my concerns for the new president is the prospect of yet another war. I have nephews and godson very dear to me, and my question is this, in a recent New York Times article for which you were interviewed, it was said about you that given a choice between action and inaction, youd rather be caught trying. Does that mean that we are destined for more conflict under your watch . No. No, and i dont think it is an either or kind of question. I believe that we have to use every tool at our disposal, our diplomacy, our development and our strong cultural influence around the world as well as defense. I think that in the world in which we are living today, it is really important for the president to build coalitions, to support our friends, our partners and our allies to be able to take on challenges that confront them. Obvio obviously, force should be always a last reresort and not a first choice. I will give you a quick example. You know, when president obama went into office and i became the secretary of state, the iranians had mastered the nuclear fuel cycle. They had built covert fuel facilities and stocked them with centrifu centrifuges, and all of that had happened when george w. Bush was president , and we had done the sanctions, and everything that we could think of as the United States government and congress, but it had not stopped them. And there were a lot of other countries in the region who said they would take military action if necessary. So i led the effort to impose sanctions on iran, to really bring them to the ne goegotiati table, the negotiations started under my watch, ably concluded under secretary kerry to put a lid on the Iranian Nuclear weapons program. That is my preference, smart, power. Using our intelligence and diplomatic efforts and everything that we can bring to bear, but leading the rest of the world and not going off and doing it our own to try to end conflicts where we can and to prevent them where we can, and if you have a situation like we do currently in syria and iraq, provide support as we are doing for others to carry the conflict forward through military action. So that is in a kind of the capsule how i see what the next president should do. Secretary clinton [ applause ] since 1976, we have executed 1,776 people in the country, and sibs 1973, six have been exonerated from the death row. This gentleman is one of them. This is Ricky Jackson wrongfully convicted of murder in 1975, and he spent 39 years in prison. He is undecided. Ricky, what is your question . Thank you, senator. Thank you for taking my question. As stated i did spend 39 years of my life in prison for a crime of murder that i did not commit, and it was only through heroic efforts of the ohio Innocence Project at the university of cincinnati that i was ultimately exonera exonerated and am able to stand before you today. [ applause ] thank you. Senator, i spent some, some of those years on death row, and excuse me, i am sorry. It is okay, brother. I came perilously close to my own execution, and in light of that, what i have just shared with you and in light of the fact that there are, there are documented cases of innocent people who have been executed in our country, i would like to know how can you still take your stance on the Death Penalty in light of what we know right now. [ applause ] you know, in is such a profoundly difficult question and what i have said and what i continue to believe is that the states have proven themselves incapable of carrying out fair trials that give any defendant all of the rights that a defendant should have, and all of the support that the defendants lawyer should have, and i have said that i would breathe a sigh of relief if either the Supreme Court or the states, themselves, began to eliminate the Death Penalty. Where i end up is this, and maybe it is distinction that is hard to support, but at this point given the challenges that we face from terrorist activity primarily in our country that end up under federal jurs d jurisdiction for very limited purposes, i think that it can still be held in reserve for those. And the kind of crimes that i am thinking of are the bombing in Oklahoma City where an american terrorist blew up the government building, killing as i recall 158 americans, including a n number of children who were in the preschool program. The plotters and the people who carried out the attacks on 9 11, but a very limit ed use of it i cases where there has been horrific mass killings. That is really the exception that i still am struggling with, and that would only be in the federal system. But what happened to you have a travesty, and i just cant even imagine what you went through and how terrible those days and nights must have been for all of those years, and i know that all of us are so regretful that you or any person has to go through what you did, and i hope that now that you are standing here before us that you will have whatever path in life you choose Going Forward and that you will get the support that you deserve to have. And i have to ask ricky thank you, senator. Is that answer satisfactory for you . Yes. Thank you very much. Thank you. Okay. Thank you very much. And we will have more questions from the audience for the former secretary of state Hillary Clinton after this short break. Stay with us. Whewhat does it look like .

Built for business. Welcome back. Were in ohio with Hillary Clinton at our town hall meeting. Lets continue. Madam secretary, i want you to meet Teresa Odonnell who is an Office Coordinator from powell, ohio, and she says that she is leaning in your favor, but she has not yet made a firm and complete decision. And i have voted for obama, and then my Health Insurance skyrocketed from 490 a month to 1,080 a month for a family of four. And i know that obama said that we would be paying a little more, but over doubling my Health Insurance cost has not been a little more. It has been difficult to come up with that kind of payment every month. I would like to vote democratic, but it has cost me a lot of money, and im just wondering if democratic, democrats really realize how difficult it has been on working class americans to finance obama care. Wow, thank you for asking me that. And may i ask you, before, were you buying your family Health Insurance in the individual family market . Were you getting it through the employer . I was purchasing it privately, because we both had bouts of unemployment. And so you were going to to a broker and buying a Health Insurance policy. Yes. And in effect, it nearly tripled after you went on to the exchange and bought a policy under the Affordable Care act is that right . No, we could not do that. It was much more expensive than just purchasing private insurance from the insurance company. And so you are still buying the private insurance direct ly . Yes. Okay. First of all, let me say that i want very much to get the costs down, and this is going to be my mission, because i do think that for many, many people, but there are exceptions like what you are telling me having the Affordable Care act has reduced costs, has created a real guarantee of insurance, because if youd had a preexisting condition under the old system, you wouldnt have gotten affordable insurance, so it has done a lot of really good things, but, it has become increasingly clear that we are going to have to get the costs down, and what i would like to see happen for you and your family is to get the copays down, and the deductibles down d, and the Prescription Drug costs under control that you would find an affordable plan on your exchange. One thing that i would like you to do, because it is not making a difference, but i would like for you the go shopping on that exchange. As i understand it, ohio has the federal exchange is that right, joyce . Because they did not set up a state exchange, so you have the federal exchange, and to go on and keep looking to see what the prices are, because we have oget more competition back into the insurance market. One thing that i want to work on with my friends from congress who are here is that weve got the get more nonprofits that are capable of selling insurance back into the insurance market. You nknow, blue cross and blue shield used to be nonprofits. And then they transferred themselves into forprofit companies. There was some effort made under the aftfordable care act to get some competition from the nonprofit institution, and some of them worked and a lot of them didnt, but i want to know what we can do, because if if you could get a range of insurers and some of who were not forprofit company, that would lower the costs, and so there is a number of things they am looking at. What i want to assure you and your family of is that i will do everything i can as president working with members of congress where necessary to try to get the costs down. But i do want you to keep shopping, because what you are telling me is much higher than what i hear from other families, and so i want to be sure that if there is a better option for you out there, i want you to take advantage of that, and i then want to work to keep costs down for everybody including the prescription cost drugs which are skyrocketing and increasing the costs for everything else. All right. To Gayle Saunders who is a big baller, and owner of her own p. R. Firm, and she is leaning your way and see if you can pull her over the finish line. Okay. Go ahead. And good evening, secretary clinton and thank you for taking my question. I believe that the number of prisons built in this country is absolutely shameful. And we know that black and brown people are disproportionately represented in a system that in one instance allows an affluenza defense, and in other instances yes. And it makes tougher penalties on people because they live in a particular zip code. Yes. And so my question question of you, secretary clinton as president , what will you do to address this system to make it more fair and balanced and address a system that many are calling modern day slavery. Well, your description of the problem is absolutely right. The very first speech i gave in this campaign was about criminal justice and incarceration reform. So there are a number of things that i have laid out. I want to just give you a sort of the overview, but please go to my website hillyclinton. Com that lays out my approach. 1 in 3 afsh can american men if the trends that we 1 in 3 africanamerican men if the trends continue that we see will spend time in jail. It is unacceptable, and there no justification for it, and no excuse for it. [ applause ] i have been going around speaking out that an africanamerican young man is more likely to be arrested, char charged, convicted and inka incarcerated for doing the exactly same thing for a white man who is not. And what that means is that we have to be honest with yourselves that we have systemic racism that is really at work inside of the criminal justice system. And we are to be willing to stand up we have to be willing to stand up and question these inequities and then go about the business of ridding them. We to divert many more people out of the jail and prison system into diversion programs, job programs, skills programs. Where we are doing this, and although it is on too small of a scale, it works. We need to have much more in the way of treatment and help for people who have addictions, and Mental Health issues so that they can be helped and not incarcerated. We need to end private prisons. They are a shame fful blight on the system. And if we can eliminate the schooltoprison pipeline and substitute a cradletocollege pipeline that starts with early education, and starts with more help earlier on, then we can begin closing the prison, and i guess that the final thing that i would say about this overview is that i really believe states have got to stop building prisons and start investing in education. Elementary, secondary and higher education. Jake, jake, jake sorry. Just if i can. Should the democrats stop taking money from private prisons . Should people, should democrats stop taking the money from private prisons . The answer is yes. Yes. That is certainly what my campaign decided, yes. And lets talk about a issue that of a lot of concern here in ho ho, fracking. Fracking is a technique for oil and gas fueling that is leading to increase in fuel production and raised concerns for health and safety risks, and there are almost 20,000 jobs here in ohio and the industry brings in 20 million in revenue each year, and lets bring in christine hughs who is an owner of a restaurant here in ohio, and she is antifracking. Athens is beautiful. Thank you. Secretary clinton, i depend on the Small Farmers in ohio for my Restaurant Business and many farmers have been harmed. Ohio allows fracking, pipelines and injection wells on and around even organic farms. Yesterday in flint, michigan, you said that you would not allow fracking in communities that does not want it, but ohio does not allow local fracking bans. As president will you let the farmers and communities say no to fracking and fully support a Clean Energy Future . You know, as i said in the debate when asked this, because so much of what governs fracking right now is within state and local control, and the federal government i think that it has an Important Role to play including advocating for what you said that i had put forward which is to give local communities the say over it. I also said this. We need much more scientific research, but this this is what we know. We know that methane releases are bad. They are bad for the environment. They are bad for Greenhouse Gas emissions. We know that if water is contaminated, thats bad, and we cant allow that to go forward. We know that there is a loophole in the law that i disagree with that permits the Fracking Companies to not have to disclose the chemicls that they are using in fracking. We deserve to know, and we have a right to know. So i am going to push very tough rules. Now i have to figure out what i can do on the federal level as opposed to what we are going to have to work on at the state level. Oklahoma which is as you know has been very pro fracking has suffered from tremors and little earthquakes around the state. And there is growing Scientific Evidence that fracking is connected to, and i dont want to say cause, because the si scientifics have not reached that, but certainly connected to these tremors, and so now even oklahoma is saying, hey, wait a minute, wed better stop and take a hard look at that, and so i will do everything that i can as president to set the rules, to set the regulations to try to figure out how to influence states, and im not sure given the present political makeup that we could pass a federal law to end fracking, but we sure can try to reg ulate it very effectively under the rules that we already have that give us federal jurisdictions over some of the chemicals and releases. That is what i am going to try to do, and i know that others say, well, we will ban it. I just want to tell you that i will do everything that i can to regulate it and to try to limit it. No president can stand up before you and say, that i will ban it. We have too many layers of law that we have to work through and regulation to deal with which is what i am trying to say very clearly, and i dont want to make a promise that i cant keep, but i want to tell you what i think that i can do as president to be your ally in trying to stop that at the local level. [ applause ] secretary clinton, i want to bring back somebody who asked a question of Bernie Sanders earlie earlier, and we will let him ask you as well. It is a dr. Amid from dublin, ohio, and he is also the poet laureate of ohio, and so, doctor, if you ask your question aga again. Wow. Secretary clinton, welcome to columbus, and we are all interested in comparing your response to that given by senator sanders a few moments ago. Long story short, im a son of immigrants in immigran immigrants, and my parents are both doing well in this country, and so have i. But as a 1 ethnic and religious minority, watching the rise of donald trump pfor the first tim, my family has started to feel a little bit uncomfortable, and to be honest, a little scared. If donald trump secures the republican nomination, i will have one Mission Heading to the ballot box which is to keep him out of office. So my question to you is which democratic candidate is going to be best at helping me do that . Not just offering the easy condemnations, but actually actually being able to defeat him, and leaving aside the negative rhetoric and attack ads, and none of which have worked so far, can you share with us three specific points of your antitrump game plan . Well, doctor [ applause ] let me give you a little bit of context. Where we are right now votes onm the only candidate who has gotten more votes than trump. I have 600,000 more votes than donald trump, and and i am building a broadbased Inclusive Campaign that i think is the best way to defeat him by convincing people that this really is the highest stakes election that they have ever been involved in, and they have got to whether they have ever voted before or not, to come out and vote against donald trump and for me. Because i have more votes than everybody, anybody, i believe that i have been developing the base that is going to to give me the chance to do that. Secondly, krou n secondly, you know, one of my advantages if i am so fortunate to be the democratic nominee is that the republicans have been after me for 25 years [ applause ] and there isnt anything they havent already said about me, and in the course offal dealing with all of this incoming fire from them, i have developed a pretty thick skin. I am not new to the nastional arena, and i think that whoever goes up against donald trump better be ready, and i feel i am the best prepared and ready candidate to take him on. [ applause ] finally, i really believe that there are going to be a lot of arguments to make against him that we can look forward to, and im not going to spill the beens right now. But suffice it to say that there are many arguments that we can use against him. But one argument that i am uniquely qualified to bring, because of my service as secretary of state is what his presidency would mean to our country and our standing in the world. I am already receiving messages from leaders, and i am having foreign leaders ask if they can endorse me to stop donald trump, and i am like, no, this is up to americans, thank you very much, and i see where it is coming fr from. And can you tell us who . El well, some have done it publicly, and the italian Prime Minister for example. And others privately . No, jake. We are holding that in reserve, too. But, you know, a lot of times Foreign Policy does not play as big of a role as i think that it should, and the wonderful question that the woman asked me before about the use of military force and how you make those tough decisions, and you know, only the hard choices come to the president. If they are not really hard, somebody along the way has a chance to, you know, make a decision. So when you end up in the situation room on a serious Foreign Policy group like i was there with the small Group Advising the president whether or not to go after bin laden, it takes incredible seriousness, diligence, judgment, a temperament that is not going to be pushed one way or another depending upon who said what to you today. And i believe that i will have an opportunity to really focus in on how dangerous a donald Trump Presidency would be for our standing, for our safety, for the peace of the world, and i think that we can be successful doing that. We are going to be taking a very quick break, and we have more questions from the audience for secretary clinton. You are watching the cnn tvone democratic president town hall from columbus, ohio. Stay with us. Kind of like bill g equals nitpicking. But i only had a salad. It was a buffalo chicken salad. Salad. Staying in rhythm. Its how i try to live. How i stay active. So i need nutrition. That wont weigh me down. For the nutrition you want without the calories you dont. Try boost® 100 calories. Each delicious snack size drink gives you. 25 vitamins and minerals and 10 grams of protein. So its big in nutrition and small in calories. Im not about to swim in the slow lane. Stay strong. Stay active with boost®. Ive heard it all. Eat more fiber. Flax seeds. Yogurt. Get moving. Keep moving. I know try laxatives. Been there, done that. My chronic constipation keeps coming back. I know. Tell me something i dont know. Vo linzess works differently from laxatives. Linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation or chronic constipation. It can help relieve your belly pain, and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements that are easier to pass. Do not give linzess to children under six and it should not be given to children six to seventeen. It may harm them. Dont take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. Get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. The most common side effect is diarrhea sometimes severe. If its severe stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. Other side effects include gas, stomacharea pain and swelling. Talk to your doctor about managing your symptoms proactively with linzess. We wonerere. And here. And here. Here. And here. Uh, here. Also in here. Back there. Behind here. Even next to these guys, here. In the nations largest, independent study, rootmetrics just named verizon Number One Network for the fifth time in a row, here. So when the other guys claim theyre the best, remember theres only one, number one. And now well pay up to 650 to switch to the best network. This one right here. All right. Folks, welcome back to the Ohio State University auditorium, and we are going back to the audience, and we have a town hall here in between the secretary taking the selfies. All right. We will go right here to miss washita johnson who is a social organizer in equality, ohio, and she say that she is still un undecided so you have a shot. Thank you, roland. And good evening, secretary clinton. My question is on march 4th, i regret to inform you this, but there were two separate shootings involving four chirp. The first incident involved a 7yearold boy being killed and his 5yearold brother and 4yearold sister were also wounded. This incident was a gangrelated retaliation shooting, and the second incident was a 5yearold boy being shot while he lay asleep in bed, and he is still in the hospital as we speak. My question to you, as president , what programs would you implement in po povertystricken communities in this country, and in an effort to decrease this type of violence . You know, i want i want everybody to know what you know which is that on average 90 people a day are killed by guns in our country, and that is 33,000 people a year. And a shocking number of those killed and injured are children. Some of them intentionally, and some of them accidentally. So heres what i believe with all of my heart, because i think that we are in a crisis when it comes to gun violence, and it is truly an epidemic, and there is no doubt in my mind that weve got to do more to get more common sense gun safety reforms enacted in america. So im not saying that what i propose will solve everything, but i believe, and there is evidence for this, that failing to do anything, which is what we are doing right now will only lead to more terrible loss of life. So so we do need comprehensive background checks, and we need to close these loopholes. The socalled gun show loophole. Whats now called the charleston loophole. A lot of the guns that are used for the kind of random gun violence that we see too much of in so many communities are obtained illegally. They are obtained from sellers who dont really care where the guns end up or what theyre used for. And weve got to crack down on the makers and sellers of guns. They should be held accountable for the use of their products and exercise more care as to how they end up in the hands of the people who use them. We have to end with this terrible law that was passed when i was in the senate. I voted against it and my opponent voted for it which would give immunity to gun sellers. Right now the community of the sandy hook victims are trying to sue the gunmaker and seller. As much as anything to try to do whatever they can to turn their grief into action and prevent other families from experiencing the horror of what they went through. We have with us tonight some of the mothers of the movement, mothers who have lost their children to violence, to Police Violence and to senseless gun violence. And ive gotten to know and just admire these women so much and when you hear their stories or when you hear the stories like you just told us about children being killed, it you just cry out and say, what are we doing as a country . And i believe what i am proposing is common sense. I agree with what the president is trying to do. And the obstacle is the gun lobby. The gun lobby exists for the purpose of scaring and intimidating people into doing what they want done. So weve got to figure out how we come together to try to take this on. And, you know, maybe ive just ive just met too many families now who have lost loved ones to gun violence. And some of the big Mass Shootings literally from columbine to sandy hook to aurora in colorado, just the list goes on. The nine victims in mother emmanuel murdered by a young man they welcomed into their bible study and he was so driven by hatred and racism he sat there, listened to the scripture and then pulled out the gun. He should not have been able to get except for one of the loopholes and murdered those nine faithful people. Im going to take them on. I dont know how much we can get done, but i am sick and tired of these murders and killings and random horrible incidents of gun violence. Secretary clinton, i need to pick up on something she said. She mentioned poverty. We think based on what the media does, make the case to poor whites who live in tennessee, mississippi, alabama who vote republican why they should vote for you based upon economic policies versus voting for a republican . Well, first of all, i was happy to carry those states you mentioned, and i carried the white vote in that state, too, that voted democratic. I dont want to get carried away here. Look, we have serious economic problems in many parts of our country. And rolands absolutely right. Instead of dividing people the way donald trump does, lets reunite around policies that will bring jobs and opportunities to all these underserved poor community. So for example, im the only candidate which has a policy about how to bring Economic Opportunity using Clean Renewable Energy as the key into coal country. Because were going to put a lot of coal miners and Cole Companies out of business, right, tim . And were going to make it clear that we dont want to forget those people. Those people labored in those mines for generations, losing their health, often losing their lives to turn on our lights and power our factories. Now weve got to move away from coal and all the other fossil fuels, but i dont want to move away from the people who did the best they could to produce the energy that we relied on. So whether its coal country or Indian Country or poor urban areas, theres a lot of poverty in america. We have gone backwards. We were moving in the right direction. In the 90s more people were lifted out of poverty at any time in recent history because of the terrible economic policies of the bush administration. President obama was left with the worst financial crisis since the great depression, and people fell back into poverty because they lost jobs, they lost homes, they lost opportunities and hope. So i am passionate about this, which is why i have put forward specific plans about how we incentivize more jobs, more investment in poor communities and put people to work. Got to go to a commercial. Well be right back. Final question with secretary Hillary Clinton after this short break. I love to take pictures that engage people. And to connect us with the wonderment of nature. The detail on this surface book is amazing. With the tiger image, the saliva coming off and you got this turning. Thats why i need this kind of resolution and computing power. Being able to use a pen like this. On the screen directly with the image. It just gives me a different relationship to it. And i cant do that on my mac. This is brilliant for me. Your body is a finely tuned instrument. Diarrhea can throw it out of rhythm.

And six is greater than one. Complete allergy relief or incomplete. Let your eyes decide. Flonase. 61 changes everything. Welcome back. Were here with secretary Hillary Clinton for some final questions as the voters of the state get to know you. Theyve probably known you for a while now, but there are some questions. You said at the debate earlier this week that youre not a natural politician like your husband or president obama. You have to do just the best that you can. What do you mean by that . What do you wish you were better at as a politician . I guess what i really mean by that is that a lot of the a lot of the work that goes into a campaign and a lot of the, you know, demands that you are faced with in a campaign i think are challenging. And i have worked at it, tried to get better at it, but im much better when i actually have a job to do rather than trying to get the job. You know . I dont want to be hired to be [ applause ] a constant candidate. I want to be hired to be the president because i think that i, at this moment in our countrys history, bring the combination of skills and understanding and experience that can really be put to work immediately to do all parts of the job. But you know, look, i watched my husband campaign. I watched president obama campaign. It is poetry. I mean, it is just i mean, i get carried away and ive seen them a million times. You know . I go, oh, my gosh, you know . Both of them. Thats not necessarily my forte, but i think what i have always been able to do is to really produce results in every job that ive had. You know, one of the funny things, jake, and goes ba to the question the doctor asked, i have a whole archive of nice things republicans have said about me including donald trump and its about
