This is donald trump strangely gives himself advice aloud. Heres the moment. All right, stay on point, donald. Stay on point. No side tracks, donald, nice and easy. Is he keeping his own advice . And this morning, chicago celebrates, wow, the historic world series win over cleveland. A 108 year drought over. Cubs fans called it the best World Series Game ever and i think most baseball fans would agree with that. Live in chicago this hour. Im tamron hall live from our nbc headquarters in new york. Five days to go in the president ial race in the final stretch. Heres the state of the race for you right now. We just got those new numbers in early voting. Nearly 33 million votes cast so far. Thats nationwide. More than 15 million of those votes cast in a dozen battleground states. We also have new polling numbers out. Hillary clinton holds a 2 point lead. Thats in todays Washington Post abc news tracking poll yesterday. That same poll showed the race tied. Two days ago, the same poll said donald trump was ahead by one point and in the new york times, the cbs news poll out this morning, secretary clinton has a 3 point lead nationally but things are tighter in two new state polls. Its now dead heat in colorado. Hillary clinton and donald trump tied at 39 . The new poll from New Hampshire shows trump now with a single point lead in the granite state. Trying to reach millions of people during the world series. Duelling while america watched the cubs and cleveland go head to head. Heres the trail today. In jacksonville, florida, he heads to North Carolina while his running mate, mike pence, hits three states. Iowa, michigan, pennsylvania. Hillary clinton will spend today in North Carolina and her running mate, tim kaine, well, hes in arizona. And an army of surrogates also out. President Obama Holding two rallies in florida. Bernie sanders in ohio. Then joint secretary clinton at a rally in North Carolina. Bill clinton and making a Rare Campaign appearance in the suburb of philadelphia. Ivanka trump is in New Hampshire, eric trump is in wisconsin. Our nbc correspondents are fanned out across the country. Lets get it started here. The headlines this morning from the clinton campaign. Momentum in arizona. Secretary clinton drawing her biggest crowd of this campaign season. Theyre saying an estimated 15,000 people at the rally in tempe, arizona. It was her first general election visit to that red state where polls are showing an extremely close race. Arizona has only voted for a democrat for president once since 1948. And that was my husband in 1996. So for the first time, we have a real chance to turn this state blue again. Top aide huma abedin still slate to appear in a fundraiser tonight in washington for the clinton campaign. It will be her first public appearance since the fbis announcement last friday but looking into her estranged husband Anthony Weiners emails on the computer. Kasie hunt from winterville, North Carolina. Secretary clinton holds the first two of rallies. Nbc is calling a tossup. What seems to be the strategy right now . Is it hold the line or try to expand where you can . What are you seeing there . Reporter its a beautiful fall day here in winterville, North Carolina, and this event is all about trying to turn out africanamerican voters to the polls. That is, if you look at her schedule today, it is a map of her strategy in North Carolina and it is twofold. It is getting as many africanamericans out there as they can and it is trying to get as many College Educated white voters in the Raleigh DurhamResearch Triangle as well and both here in winterville, an Africanamerican Community college and then going to be in raleighdurham later today. If anything makes democrats nervous about this state, its that right now africanamerican turnout in the early vote is lower than it was at this point in 2012. And of course, youll remember mitt romney won the state in 2012. Very narrowly over barack obama who, of course, had won North Carolina in 2008. So they do need to make sure that the turnout numbers are where they need to be and if they can keep this state out of Donald Trumps hands, that just does that much more to cement her path to 270 Electoral College votes. They have been, i will say, receiving information over the course of the last 2448 hours that makes people, democrats, a little bit more nervous about what trump might be able to pull off on election night. Theres some new polling in New Hampshire that shows that state a little bit closer. Florida, of course, very close and reality is, theres still the fundamentals very good for them. But its looking a little bit more challenging this week than it did a week ago. I think arizona, that trip is probably going to be her last day playing offense. The rest of it is trying to shore up the blue states. They did get a quick minute though. Hillary clinton held for 45 minutes after her arizona event to watch the cubs win the world series. A lifelong cubs fan since she grew up there. Whats interesting as well, this David Plouffe tweet that we have, of course, worked with the Obama Campaign now with uber and other companies but tweeted out this. The abc Washington Post poll suggests race has changed 3 points in two days. It hasnt and it wont. Stability not volatility. A very interesting poll from someone who was a part of the team obama who defeated Hillary Clinton. Reporter yeah, and David Plouffe has said on the record he thinks theres a 100 chance Hillary Clinton wins the election. The fundamentals are good for them and some places that donald trump would need to win. Take nevada, for example, if he wants to have a path. Barring him putting really unexpected states like pennsylvania and michigan into his column, he has to win a state like nevada and the early vote, democrats are overwhelmingly confident based on the early vote in that state theyll win and thats a switch from a couple of weeks ago when my sources were telling me that trump had a relatively durable 1 or 2 point lead in nevada. Thank you. In a few minutes, president obama is expected to take the stage in miami for Hillary Clinton. Its the president s third appearance in florida in three weeks. And yesterday, the president made headlines with his first Public Comments on fbi director james comeys decision to disclose the discovery of new emails that may be related to secretary clintons use of a private server. Ive made a very deliberate effort to make sure that i dont look like im meddling in what are supposed to be independent processes for making these assessments. I do think that there is a norm that when there are investigations, we dont operate on innuendo, we dont operate on incomplete information or we dont operate on leaks. Ron allen joining us live from miami. Its so interesting. Yesterday, joe biden in florida said here we go again. Florida, florida, florida. It always comes down to florida. The president is there. Back in orlando on sunday. He is certainly making that state as well as North Carolina a focus for him. Reporter may be two of the biggest states and this place is about to explode, tamron. Theyre standing on edge here for the past, oh, 10 or 15 minutes because word has spread that president obama has arrived. Hes been behind stage. Hes about to come out of that place over there where it says stronger together, the clinton slogan. Arrived from the dignitaries. Theyve arrived. The press pool arrived and this place is packed. Some 5,000 to 7,000 people here and the president s message is pretty straightforward. Its go out and vote. At some point, campaigning elections are about something. President obamas enormous popularity. This is an institution in florida at the university that is heavily latino, heavily africanamerican. One of the most minority majority in the country and young people, millennials, latinos, africanamericans, getting out and voting. A particular concern about africanamericans rates of voting falling or slipping in the early year in florida or while the latino vote somewhat up. President obama is here, rallying the crowd, telling people as he has all along the way to leave here and go and vote. Theyre voting places nearby. Early voting continues here until sunday and youre right, tamron. He comes back on sunday to orlando. The i4 corridor. The crucial part of the state that often decides elections and have what they call a souls to the polls where they target black churches to vote and this place will explode any moment. Now headlines from the trump campaign. Donald trump is urging voters to get out and vote early with the florida race now too close to call. Trying to new strategy to motivate his supporters but telling the audience to pretend that he is slightly behind in the polls. And trumps reminding himself as you heard a few minutes ago to stay on message if he is to win the white house. Were going to be nice and cool. Nice and cool. Stay on point, donald. Stay on point. No side tracks, nice and easy. Nice and easy. Nbcs Peter Alexander traveling with the trump campaign. Live on the phone from jacksonville, florida. Lets talk about this strategy of telling his audience, his supporters that he is slightly behind in the polls. He says pretend but the reality is that he is or in many cases in a dead heat. Lets no pretending necessary. Reporter tamron, good morning to you. Were on board the trump bus en route to the Jacksonville Equestrian Center where donald trump will speak in less than an hour from now. The bottom line for donald trump is that he describes its a movement but what he needs to do is motivate the the movememovem polls. Duval county, a heavily Military Area and other sites in this area. Its going to be part of his message today. Aides telling me hes focusing on the military, on Veterans Affairs but to give a sense. I was speaking to strategists and a place for florida to manage margins. For democrats to win, they need to run up the margins in orlando, miami. For republicans to win, they need the big margins in more counties around the state like this one. Duval county. George bush won in 2004 and barack obama by a smaller margin in 2008. And 2012. So far, the africanamerican vote which we talked about and a Large Population here about 25 have already voted here. Its about 30 of the state that africanamericans represent. So thats an important vote that the democrats need. Donald trump needs his supporters out as well. It was effectively even yesterday between republicans and democrats. So thats exactly what hes here to do to whip up support among the people behind him. We understand senator ted cruz will be his site campaigning with governor mike pence in iowa. Thats per a campaign ad. The governor, mike pence, supported ted cruz. Although it wasnt the kind of endorsement for ted cruz. Now cruz and mike pence and donald trump share a ticket and ted cruz is going to do everything he can. Obviously given what happened at the convention, hes in a better position to support mike pence. But the two of them will be together. The hope is that cruz can bring on board lot of those conservatives who may have been dissatisfied with donald trump early on but as we go to the rallies, you meet a lot of people who say, trump all along and many are a cruz person early on but come on board. Run up the margins and thats the effort the two of them try to coordinate today. Melania trump about to make her first Campaign Speech since the Republican National convention. Told George Stephanopoulos she would give before election day. An announcement that appeared to surprise mrs. Trump at the time. Shes going to make two or three speeches. Oh. Shes amazing when she speaks. Nbcs Chris Jansing in the philadelphia suburb where mrs. Trump will speak this afternoon and chris, this is in chester county. Philadelphia magazine numbers show president obama lost about 1800 votes in 2012. We know that he won philadelphia suburbs by 500,000 in 2012 but this is an interesting county to target. Reporter it is because this is where, as you said, not only did barack obama lose but sort of defied what weve seen in these collar counties, the suburban counties around philadelphia which is that they have been trending more toward democrats and they really want to shore up the vote here. As i walk along the line growing steadily, theyve got more than 100 people now and hope to get 2,000 to 3,000 for Melania Trump and we have a preview of her speech that came up a short time ago. She said shes going to talk about how my husband has a deep love and respect for this country and all of its people. Of course, the reason that Hillary Clinton has made real strides is some of the things he has said about women and a part of ads running all over philadelphia and throughout pennsylvania. There was a few tense moments earlier here. There was a press conference over here with some Democratic Women including the National Director for womens outreach for the Hillary Clinton campaign. They were asked politely and firmly to lead as they were talking with local media, which they did. Suburban women critical to the trump coalition. Theyve got to hold the republican women trending away from him. And also though, men, of course, White Working Class men. They were among the first in line here including a guy who said he voted for a democrat but not this year. Take a listen. Hope and change never came. And the next seven years, it still never came. You can see it. You go into the inner cities. Theres been no chance of success for anyone in the inner cities and i think theyre starting to realize that in the minority neighborhoods. Donald trump is going to be that person that can bring that high level morale back to the u. S. Military. I love his one statement. Simple. Peace through strength. You have a strong military, Everything Else falls into place. We want to take you right now to miami, florida. President obama now speaking at a Campaign Stop there. Joe biden was in florida today. Lets listen in. [ cheers ] thank you, thank you. Well, it is good to be back at Florida International university. Thats a good looking crowd here. Can everybody please give gabbie a huge round of applause for her great work . I want to thank who was screaming there . I want to thank the mayor here. Senator bill nelson. I want to thank congresswoman debbie wassermanschultz. I want to thank your next state senator, debbie mukasewel powell and next congressman joe garcia and your next United States senator, Patrick Murphy. Florida, we got five more days. Five more days. I love you too, but i got ive got some business to do here today, so five more days to decide the future of this country that we love. Now, the good news is that you dont have to wait until election day to vote. What does that say up there . Im sorry, i cant hear you. What does it say up there . Im still not hearing it. What . Vote early. If you are registered, you can vote right now at any early voting location. In fact, theres one just 10 minutes away at the International Mall at the library. Go ahead and plug this in your phones if you havent voted. It is at 10315 northwest street in doral. Were making it simple for you. I am telling you where to go vote after this rally. Now, if you are just watching on television, or youre not from around here and youre trying to figure out, where else could i vote . You go to iwillvote. Com and it will give you additional locations. Iwillvote. Com. If youre voting by mail, dont let that thing just sit on your coffee table or your kitchen counter and then you forget about it. It gets mixed up with some other stuff. Send in your ballot right now so it makes it by election day. The point is we got work to do to finish what we started eight years ago. Now, i have to say that ive been going to some College Campuses and i realize that eight years ago, some of you were 10. Says, yeah. That making me feel a little old. All right. Michelle agrees. But for those of you who maybe were a little older and might remember, in 2008, we were living through two long wars. And we were about to enter into the worst economic crisis in the last 80 years. But you know what . Because of some hard work, we turned the page. Americas not going back. Better roads since at least 1968. Poverty fell at the fastest rate at least since 1968. We created 15 million new jobs. 20 Million People have insurance that didnt have it. We kicked our addiction to foreign oil. You know, can i just say, i was driving through North Carolina yesterday, North Carolina in the house. And we passed by a gas station and i dont have to stop usually at the gas station because, you know, the motorcade, theyre always full. Service is taken care of that, but i noticed gas at 1. 99. The reason i make this point is because i think in 2008, they were predicting if obama got elected, gas would be 6. So sometimes, its useful to check the tape. See what they said before and it turns out what they said was wrong, so what that means is what theyre saying now is probably also wrong. Anyway, i just wanted to do that little detour, but in addition to, right, thanks, obama. So kicked our addiction on foreign oil. Doubled our production of clean energy. Had done more to battle Climate Change than at any time in history. Were World Leaders on that. We brought home more of our men and women in uniform. Took out osama bin laden. Systemically rolling up isil in iraq. And by the way, back home, we made sure all 50 states, people have the freedom to marry who they love. Theres a reason i got gray hair. Ive been busy. And most of all, across these 50 states as ive traveled, what ive seen is the thing that really makes america great. No, its you. You. Ive seen the american people. People of every party, every faith, every race, every region. People who know were stronger together. Young and old folks. Men and women. Black, white, latino, asian, native american. Folks with disabilities, gay, straight folks. It doesnt matter. All of us pledging allegiance to the red, white, and blue. Thats the america i know. Thats the america we love. And theres only one candidate in this race who has devoted her life to building up that america. And that is the next president of the United States of america, Hillary Clinton now, make no mistake, florida. All the progress we made goes out the window if we dont win this election. So weve got to work our hearts out this week. Weve got to work like our future depends on it because it actually depends on it. And listen, especially for the young people out there, i know some of you, this is your first election where youve been paying attention. Youre out there and looking, man, this is really nasty. You know, generally, dc is not so much of a battleground but down here, its just like every ad is just depressing. And theres negative ads and theres noise and distractions and sometimes, the temptation is to tunise it out and you want t just focus on the cubs winning the world series. Which, by the way, even for a white sox fan, is a pretty big deal. Because the cubs have been waiting like 108 years. I was watching somebody on television explained the last time the cubs had won, Thomas Edison was alive and they hadnt invented sliced bread yet. So you know the expression, thats the greatest thing since sli sliced bread . This is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I want to congratulate the chicago cubs for an amazing season. But its tempting to want to not really focus on our government and our politics but this election is critical and the good news is once you get past all the noise and all the distractions and all the okeydoke, the choice could not be clearer. Because donald trump, dont boo, dont boo. You guys know that. You already knew that. You cant boo. He cant hear you boo but you can hear you vote. Dont boo, vote. Donald trump is uniquely unqualified to be president. Im not joking. You laugh. Im not joking. He is temperamentally unfit to be commander in chief. Heres a guy who says hes a great businessman but it seems like a lot of his businesses built around stiffing Small Businesses and workers out of what he owes them. Work theyve done. He thinks its cute or smart or funny to basically not pay somebody whos done work for them and say, go ahead and sue me because ive got more money than you and you cant do anything about it. Its not fair. Heres somebody who for decades has refused to release any tax returns and maybe its because hes not as rich as he says he is, but admitted he does not pay federal income taxes for years. Not a dime. So hes not helping to support our troops or our veterans or build roads, schools, young People Finance a College Education because hes not putting anything in. Hes taking a lot out. But he says that hes going to be his own Foreign Policy advisor. He says thats because hes got a good brain. Now, i wont comment on his brain but what i can say is anybody who suggests america should torture people or ban entire religions from entering america or insults p. O. W. S or attacks a gold star mom, dont boo vote or audiocassettes down about our troops and thats not somebody whos fit to be president. You even have a republican senator saying you cannot afford to give Nuclear Codes to somebody who erratic and as hillary points out, anybody that you can bait with a tweet is not someone you can trust with nuclear weapons. Anybody who is upset about a saturday night live skit, you dont want in charge of nuclear weapons. No, im serious. This guy like tweets, they should cancel saturday night live. I dont like how alec baldwins imitating me. Really . I mean, thats the thing that bothers you and you want to be president of the United States . Come on, man. Come on. Hes got support in florida and the country. He does. If he didnt, i wouldnt have to go around getting everybody to vote. Hes got some support. And the most frustrating thing is some of his support is coming from working folks. People say, well, hes going to be our voice. Are you serious . This is the guy who spent 70 years, his whole life, born with a silver spoon showing no respect for working people. He spent a lot of time with celebrities. He spent a lot of time hanging out with the really wealthy folk but you dont see him hanging out with working people. Working on his golf. Youre going to make this guy champion . Come on. Somebody who spent his life without ever showing any regard for working folks. But he has insulted minorities and immigrants and muslims and americans with disabilities. Thats the voice you want. You want a voice whos bragging about how being famous lets you get away with what would qualify as Sexual Assault . And calls women pigs and dogs and slobs. And when he pays attention to women, its because hes grading them on a scale of 1 to 10. What kind of message are we sending . If thats our voice. I tell you what, were going to teach our kids, i want to teach all American Kids that our diversity is our strength. That in america, its not about what you look like, but who you are and what you do and what your character is. That women are not just full and equal citizens, they may be a lot more capable of doing what a man can do. But the problem is that he has said so much stuff and our culture and our media has gotten so reality tvized. I know thats not a word. But you get my drift. Its become normal when Somebody Just says whacky stuff as long as theyre famous, we think its okay. I mean, you hear people justifying it. Theyre like, well, you know, he may be, its just locker room talk, or i dont really like what hes saying, but as long as he supports republican policies and he cuts taxes for the wealthy, thats what i care about. Saying character doesnt matter. Let me tell you something about this office that ive been in for eight years. Who you are, what you are does not change after you occupy the oval office. All it does is magnify who you are. All it does is shine a spotlight on who you are. If you disrespected women before you were in office, you will disrespect women as president. If you accept support of planned sympathizers before you are president , you will accept their support after youre president. If you disrespect the constitution before youre president , and threaten to shut down the press when it says something you dont like, or threaten to throw your opponent in jail in a live president ial debate without any regard for due process, if you discriminate against people of different faiths before you are president , then that is what you will do in office except you will have more power to carry out the twisted notions that you had before you were in office. So you cant make excuses for this stuff. This isnt a joke. This isnt survivor. This isnt the bachelorette. This counts. This has to do with whats going to happen in your family, your community, to soldiers and veterans. Safety of our kids. Listen. I am a strong democrat, but i tell you what, we arent born democrats and republicans. Were americans first. And i have good friends who are republicans. And i know they dont think this way about women. They dont think this way about muslims. They dont think this way about immigrants. This is, what they are doing is Something Different entirely. This is different from what we have seen before and the good news is that all of you are uniquely qualified to make sure that this uniquely unqualified person does not become president and all youve got to do is make sure you go out there and you vote. And the other good news is you dont just have to vote against this guy because you have a candidate who is actually worthy of your vote. Somebody who is smart. Somebody who is steady. Somebody who is tested. Perhaps the most qualified person ever to run for this office. Our next president , Hillary Clinton. This is somebody who dedicated her life to making this country better. Think about how she got her start. While donald trump and his developer dads were being sued for denying housing to africanamerican families, hillary was going under cover from school to school to make sure minority kids were getting an equal shot at a good education. She has not stopped fighting for justice. Fighting for equality ever since. Her heart has always been in the right place. Works hard every single day. I know she worked hard when she was running against me. I was worn out. She worked hard when she was working for me. She was there in the situation room as my secretary of state making the argument to go out there to get bin laden even when it was risky. Circled the globe as secretary of state and earned the respect of World Leaders. Her efforts werent always flashy or fully appreciated. Which is true for a lot of the work that women do, by the way. Just want to make that observation. She made me a better president. She understands policy. She understands how the world works. She understands that this stuff that we do, the challenges we face arent abstract. They mean something to real people. She knows that shes got to work hard because you were out there working hard. And by the way, she doesnt whine or complain or blame others or suggest everything is rigged when things arent going her way. She just works harder or comes back better because she knows no matter how hard things may be for her, theres a lot of people who are having an even tougher time trying to pay the bills or try to find a job and try to finance the College Education. So she doesnt have time to whine. She just gets up and does the work. And she knows the decisions you make as president mean something to that soldier or that veteran or the military families. That a parent is trying to make ends meet. They need a president who cares and knows what theyre doing. That a student trying to go to college for the first time needs somebody with an actual plan to help them. That a young person brought to this country as a child has never known another country, is american by every standard except they dont have a piece of paper, she knows they need to have a chance to get back to this country they love. Shes got plans that will actually help these people. Shes going to be a leader who actually values hard work, respects working americans. And she will be an outstanding commander in chief because shes been in the room when tough decisions were made. Youre worried about keeping america safe, shell do it because she knows our military and knows our diplomat. She doesnt just talk about it or play one on tv. Shes been there. She will be a smart, steady president for the United States. And the one thing i got to remind you is shes not going to do it alone. Thats why weve got to have a congress that is also focused on you. Patrick murphy. Hes got the same values hillary does. Unlike his opponent, marco rubio, patrick, dont boo, what are you supposed to do . Vote. Unlike his opponent, marco rubio, patrick actually shows up to work. He puts you ahead of politics. He doesnt try to defund planned parenthood. He didnt think that some politician should be making decisions. He said, let women make their own health care decisions. He didnt walk away from floridas Latino Community when the politics got tough. He kept on. Patrick kept on fighting for comprehensive Immigration Reform and a path way for citizenship. He actually believes in science and as a consequence, believes Climate Change is a problem for the people of florida and that we should do something about it. Patrick murphy brought democrats and republicans together to Fund Everglades restoration. He has a track record of caring about the environment. As your next senator, he and hillary will help protect this planet for our kids and help make sure that florida is protected against some of the worst consequences of Climate Change. This should be a no brainer. And one other big difference between patrick and marco. Marco supports donald trump. Now keep in mind earlier this year, he called donald a dangerous con artist. He said that donald trump has spent a career sticking it to working people. And then he tweeted, this is marco rubio, he tweeted, friends, dont let friends vote for con artists. So guess who just voted for donald trump a few days ago . Marco rubio. Obviously, he did not have good enough friends to listen. This tells you something. This tells you something. Now, if you knew better when you were running against trump, you knew he was a con artist, spent a lifetime sticking it to working people, this is what you said. Im not making this up, right . I just want to be clear. He said this. Quoted tapes, right . If you knew better and then you went ahead and voted for this guy anyway, and supported this guy anyway, that means you are somebody who will say anything or be anything, be anybody just so you can get elected or cling to power. If thats the kind of person you want representing you, i guess you should vote for marco rubio but if you want a senator who will show up and work for you and has some integrity and some consistency and will actually say what he thinks and what he means and then act on that, somebody you have confidence in, then you should vote for Patrick Murphy. I trust Patrick Murphy. I believe in Patrick Murphy and hillary needs Patrick Murphy in the United States senate to make sure to get done what she gets done. Part of the reason that its important to get patrick in, part of what i want to say about this election is this is about more than just plans, policies, theres something more fundamental at stake. Whats at stake is the character of our nation. You know, when hillary was young, her mom taught her the methodist creed. Do all you can for all the people you can in all the ways you can for as long as you can. Thats what guides her. Thats her north star. She believes that we can summon the best in this country. Make it better for all people, not just some. Thats what america is all about, isnt it . Were a country like no other. Not because of this height of the skyscrapers, not the size of our military, its because this is a place founded on an idea. We hold these truths to be selfevident that all men and women are created equal, that we are all endowed by our creator to certain inailenable rights. You dont have to have a certain last name or look a certain way or do your hair a certain style. Youve just got to be willing to contribute. Youve just got to be willing to work. Youve just got to care enough about other people and making sure everybody has got a fair shot and if you do that, if you do that, then youre a patriot. And you can contribute to this country that you love and you can go as far as your dreams can take you. Thats what makes this place special. Thats what drove patriots to choose revolution over tyranny. To found this nation. Thats what led g. I. S to liberate and women to march to get the ballot. Thats what led marches across the bridge in selma to win their rights. Thats what allowed workers to get collective bargaining and better wages. Thats what made america exceptional and what always made america great. Weve never been about just doing for ourselves. Its about what we can do together. Its about what can be achieved by us, the people together, through the hard, slow, and yes, sometimes frustrating work of selfgovernment. Thats not what donald trump stands for but it is what hillary stands for. The idea that in this big diverse country of ours, we dont demonize each other. We reach out and try to work together. We recognize that issues arent always black and white and sometimes youve got to compromise. Even when you are right, she knows none of us are perfect. But she knows that those of us who have been blessed with positions of leadership should try to conduct ourselves with a sense of decency to set an example of our kids and i know that hillary will do that. I know she will continue the progress weve made and shell need allies like patrick because we cant have hillary stuck with a Republican Congress that behaves the way theyve been behaving. You know, they havent worked with me since ive been in office. They didnt work with me when we were about to go into the ev the senate and the house and they cant pass their own stuff. Theyre so accustomed to just saying no, object constructistr gridlock, were against whatever obama proposes. I will sometimes propose their own stuff and theyll oppose it. It surprises them. Ill be like, well, this is in your republican handbook. This is in your talking points. I thought yall were for it. No, youre for it now. We cant be for it. Im sorry. Come o man. [ cheers and applause ] so so so theyve so, apparently they dont have much confidence in their nominee. So, instead theyre already promising more unprecedented dysfunction in washington. Now, its hard to promise more dysfunction. Right . I mean, thats a hard thing to do. But theyre promising that. Theyre promising years of investigation. Years of hearings. Years of shutdown. Years of obstruction. Years of repeal obamacare votes. Can i just say, by the way, let me im going to take another aside. I know im running long, but but we have given 20 Million People have Health Insurance that didnt have it before. 20 Million People. The parade of horribles havent had it. Death panels, do you remember that . Saying this is going to bankrupt the country. None of what theyve said has happened. So, now off 60 votes to repeal this thing, that havent succeeded, donald trump said we have to call a special session to repeal it. And he had a big press conference. And he had all a couple of doctors and a nurse, ben carson and some people. Whos an excellent neurosurgeon. He really is. I dont know what happened on the political thing, but so they come and they spend like an hour. Were going to repeal obamacare. Okay. Then what are you going to do . Then were going to repeal it and were going to give you something great. Okay, what . Well, something. Because premiums are going up. It is true, premiums are going up for a handful of people who dont get tax credits. Thats true. Were working hard to do something about it. Keep in mind, their alternative would have been no Health Insurance. Thats what they had before. So so the reason i point this out is you watch the press conference and what you realize is, theyve got no plan. They want to repeal because idealogically theyre opposed to helping these 20 Million People get Health Insurance. They dont even have a pretense of a plan. They dont even have a semblance of a plan. Theres not even a hinted of a plan. Not even a moat, not even a theres no plan. Nothing, zero, nada. Come on you cant just be against something. You got to be for something. You cant spend eight years being against me. And now youre going to be against hillary, but you havent been for anything. Come on. Now youve got some of these senators who are talking about how we wont even appointment another Supreme Court justice. Now, weve had nine Supreme Court justices for a really long time. And part of the reason you have nine is to break ties. And some of the same folks who just a while back said, well, we cant have hearings and vote for the guy obama nominated because were so close to the election, we should let the next president make the nomination. Right . Thats what they said. So now they think hillary might win. They say, well, we might block hers, too. Wait. But i thought you said that the people were going to decide. I can talk to the press for a second . What happened . Do we have a run back the tape . Do we have to kind of go, well, what happened . Thats what they said. Now theyre saying something entirely different. Come on, man. This has got to be on the level. Dont pretend like gridlock is happening because somehow democrats and republicans are equally obstructionists. Its just not true. Youve got some republicans right now who are suggesting they will impeach hillary. They dont necessarily know why, but theyre just going to impeach her. Imagine if you had sitting Democratic Senators saying that about donald trump. Before he was even elected saying, he will be impeached. Look, nobody likes gridlock but gridlock is not something mysterious that seems like a fog on washington. Gridlock isnt happening because both sides are doing bad things and both sides are corrupt. Thats not whats going on. Gridlock happens purposely when republican politicians, like marco rubio, decide they will do anything to oppose anything. Good for the country if a democratic president proposes it. And thats now marco rubios campaign platform, gridlock. If you think gridlock is a good slogan, you should vote for republicans. But if you believe america can do better, if you think we should be doing something to create jobs for working families, if you think we should be providing health care for folks who need it, if you think we should be helping single moms with child care so they can go to the job, if you think we should have equal pay for equal work or raise the minimum wage, then you need to vote for democrats up and down the ticket you got to vote for hillary and patrick. People roll up their sleeves and move this country forward. All right. Ive gone on too long. I know ive gone on a little too long. My staff is going to talk about me when i get back there. Theyll say, what was going on . You were talking too long. So, let me end with this. Im going to lets take it down for a second. Because i want to make this point to young people especially. Just give me one second. Just give me one second. You know, i know a lot of you i know a lot of you are cynical about politics. Theres a lot about this election that gives you reason to be. But im here to tell you, right now you have a chance to move history in a better direction. You have a chance to reject dif viss ive politics and mean politics. You have a chance to elect a leader who moved this country forward. The first female president who can be an example for our sons and our daughters. You have the chance to shape history. And i want young people to understand those moments dont come that often. You know, there are times when history is moveable. Where you can make things better or worse. This is one of those moments. And its in your hands. This will incredible power that each of you have. I know you care about a lot of issues, young people. Ive heard from you. Ive heard ive seen you march for criminal justice reform. Thats great. But if you care about criminal justice reform, its not just enough to protest. You also have to vote for a president and congress and prosecutors who care about disrupting that pipeline of underfunded schools to overcrowded jails. And make sure the criminal Justice System is accountable and fair. I know that a lot of young people who care about the environment and Climate Change, ive heard you, but youve got to have a president and a congress who believes in science and who cares about Climate Change and who will protect the progress weve made and want to leave a better planet for our kids. If youve been working on Immigration Reform, ive been working, too. But if were going to finish the job, youve got to have a president and a congress who sees immigrants not criminals or rapists, but people who have the same dreams and aspirations and who care about this country and who want to contribute and give back to them. My point is, your vote matters. Its because of you that 20 Million People have Health Insurance that didnt have it. Its because of you that young people who got pell grants and could go to college who couldnt before. Its because of you that a marine can serve his country without hiding the husband he loves. Its because of you that young dreamers have been able to come out of the shadows and are serving our country and are going to school. Its because of you that we made this progress. So, florida, and young people especially, im asking you the same thing i asked of you eight years ago, im asking you to believe. Not just in m
