1 HOLT Good evening from Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York. 0
2 HOLT I'm Lester Holt, anchor of "NBC Nightly News." 0
3 HOLT I want to welcome you to the first presidential debate. 0
4 HOLT The participants tonight are Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. 0
5 HOLT This debate is sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization. 0
6 HOLT The commission drafted tonight's format, and the rules have been agreed to by the campaigns. 0
7 HOLT The 90-minute debate is divided into six segments, each 15 minutes long. 0
8 HOLT We'll explore three topic areas tonight: Achieving prosperity; America's direction; and securing America. 0
9 HOLT At the start of each segment, I will ask the same lead-off question to both candidates, and they will each have up to two minutes to respond. 0
10 HOLT From that point until the end of the segment, we'll have an open discussion. 0
11 HOLT The questions are mine and have not been shared with the commission or the campaigns. 0
12 HOLT The audience here in the room has agreed to remain silent so that we can focus on what the candidates are saying. 0
13 HOLT I will invite you to applaud, however, at this moment, as we welcome the candidates: Democratic nominee for president of the United States, Hillary Clinton, and Republican nominee for president of the United States, Donald J. Trump. 0
14 SYSTEM (APPLAUSE) 0
15 CLINTON How are you, Donald? 0
16 SYSTEM (APPLAUSE) 0
17 HOLT Good luck to you. 0
18 SYSTEM (APPLAUSE) 0
19 HOLT Well, I don't expect us to cover all the issues of this campaign tonight, but I remind everyone, there are two more presidential debates scheduled. 0
20 HOLT We are going to focus on many of the issues that voters tell us are most important, and we're going to press for specifics. 0
21 HOLT I am honored to have this role, but this evening belongs to the candidates and, just as important, to the American people. 0
22 HOLT Candidates, we look forward to hearing you articulate your policies and your positions, as well as your visions and your values. 0
23 HOLT So, let's begin. 0
24 HOLT We're calling this opening segment "Achieving Prosperity." 0
25 HOLT And central to that is jobs. 0
26 HOLT There are two economic realities in America today. 0
27 HOLT There's been a record six straight years of job growth, and new census numbers show incomes have increased at a record rate after years of stagnation. 0
28 HOLT However, income inequality remains significant, and nearly half of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. 0
29 HOLT Beginning with you, Secretary Clinton, why are you a better choice than your opponent to create the kinds of jobs that will put more money into the pockets of American works? 0
30 CLINTON Well, thank you, Lester, and thanks to Hofstra for hosting us. 0
31 CLINTON The central question in this election is really what kind of country we want to be and what kind of future we'll build together. 0
32 CLINTON Today is my granddaughter's second birthday, so I think about this a lot. 0
33 CLINTON First, we have to build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top. 0
34 CLINTON That means we need new jobs, good jobs, with rising incomes. 0
35 CLINTON I want us to invest in you. 0
36 CLINTON I want us to invest in your future. 0
37 CLINTON That means jobs in infrastructure, in advanced manufacturing, innovation and technology, clean, renewable energy, and small business, because most of the new jobs will come from small business. 0
38 CLINTON We also have to make the economy fairer. 0
39 CLINTON That starts with raising the national minimum wage and also guarantee, finally, equal pay for women's work. 0
40 CLINTON I also want to see more companies do profit-sharing. 0
41 CLINTON If you help create the profits, you should be able to share in them, not just the executives at the top. 0
42 CLINTON And I want us to do more to support people who are struggling to balance family and work. 0
43 CLINTON I've heard from so many of you about the difficult choices you face and the stresses that you're under. 0
44 CLINTON So let's have paid family leave, earned sick days. 0
45 CLINTON Let's be sure we have affordable child care and debt-free college. 0
46 CLINTON How are we going to do it? 0
47 CLINTON We're going to do it by having the wealthy pay their fair share and close the corporate loopholes. 0
48 CLINTON Finally, we tonight are on the stage together, Donald Trump and I. Donald, it's good to be with you. 0
49 CLINTON We're going to have a debate where we are talking about the important issues facing our country. 0
50 CLINTON You have to judge us, who can shoulder the immense, awesome responsibilities of the presidency, who can put into action the plans that will make your life better. 0
51 CLINTON I hope that I will be able to earn your vote on November 8th. 0
52 HOLT Secretary Clinton, thank you. 0
53 HOLT Mr. Trump, the same question to you. 0
54 HOLT It's about putting money -- more money into the pockets of American workers. 0
55 HOLT You have up to two minutes. 0
56 TRUMP Thank you, Lester. 0
57 TRUMP Our jobs are fleeing the country. 0
58 TRUMP They're going to Mexico. 0
59 TRUMP They're going to many other countries. 0
60 TRUMP You look at what China is doing to our country in terms of making our product. 0
61 TRUMP They're devaluing their currency, and there's nobody in our government to fight them. 0
62 TRUMP And we have a very good fight. 0
63 TRUMP And we have a winning fight. 0
64 TRUMP Because they're using our country as a piggy bank to rebuild China, and many other countries are doing the same thing. 1
65 TRUMP So we're losing our good jobs, so many of them. 0
66 TRUMP When you look at what's happening in Mexico, a friend of mine who builds plants said it's the eighth wonder of the world. 0
67 TRUMP They're building some of the biggest plants anywhere in the world, some of the most sophisticated, some of the best plants. 0
68 TRUMP With the United States, as he said, not so much. 0
69 TRUMP So Ford is leaving. 0
70 TRUMP You see that, their small car division leaving. 0
71 TRUMP Thousands of jobs leaving Michigan, leaving Ohio. 0
72 TRUMP They're all leaving. 0
73 TRUMP And we can't allow it to happen anymore. 0
74 TRUMP As far as child care is concerned and so many other things, I think Hillary and I agree on that. 0
75 TRUMP We probably disagree a little bit as to numbers and amounts and what we're going to do, but perhaps we'll be talking about that later. 0
76 TRUMP But we have to stop our jobs from being stolen from us. 0
77 TRUMP We have to stop our companies from leaving the United States and, with it, firing all of their people. 0
78 TRUMP All you have to do is take a look at Carrier air conditioning in Indianapolis. 0
79 TRUMP They left -- fired 1,400 people. 0
80 TRUMP They're going to Mexico. 0
81 TRUMP So many hundreds and hundreds of companies are doing this. 0
82 TRUMP We cannot let it happen. 0
83 TRUMP Under my plan, I'll be reducing taxes tremendously, from 35 percent to 15 percent for companies, small and big businesses. 0
84 TRUMP That's going to be a job creator like we haven't seen since Ronald Reagan. 0
85 TRUMP It's going to be a beautiful thing to watch. 0
86 TRUMP Companies will come. 0
87 TRUMP They will build. 0
88 TRUMP They will expand. 0
89 TRUMP New companies will start. 0
90 TRUMP And I look very, very much forward to doing it. 0
91 TRUMP We have to renegotiate our trade deals, and we have to stop these countries from stealing our companies and our jobs. 0
92 HOLT Secretary Clinton, would you like to respond? 0
93 CLINTON Well, I think that trade is an important issue. 0
94 CLINTON Of course, we are 5 percent of the world's population; we have to trade with the other 95 percent. 0
95 CLINTON And we need to have smart, fair trade deals. 0
96 CLINTON We also, though, need to have a tax system that rewards work and not just financial transactions. 0
97 CLINTON And the kind of plan that Donald has put forth would be trickle-down economics all over again. 0
98 CLINTON In fact, it would be the most extreme version, the biggest tax cuts for the top percent of the people in this country than we've ever had. 1
99 CLINTON I call it trumped-up trickle-down, because that's exactly what it would be. 0
100 CLINTON That is not how we grow the economy. 0
101 CLINTON We just have a different view about what's best for growing the economy, how we make investments that will actually produce jobs and rising incomes. 0
102 CLINTON I think we come at it from somewhat different perspectives. 0
103 CLINTON I understand that. 0
104 CLINTON You know, Donald was very fortunate in his life, and that's all to his benefit. 0
105 CLINTON He started his business with $14 million, borrowed from his father, and he really believes that the more you help wealthy people, the better off we'll be and that everything will work out from there. 0
106 CLINTON I don't buy that. 0
107 CLINTON I have a different experience. 0
108 CLINTON My father was a small-businessman. 0
109 CLINTON He worked really hard. 0
110 CLINTON He printed drapery fabrics on long tables, where he pulled out those fabrics and he went down with a silkscreen and dumped the paint in and took the squeegee and kept going. 0
111 CLINTON And so what I believe is the more we can do for the middle class, the more we can invest in you, your education, your skills, your future, the better we will be off and the better we'll grow. 0
112 CLINTON That's the kind of economy I want us to see again. 0
113 HOLT Let me follow up with Mr. Trump, if you can. 0
114 HOLT You've talked about creating 25 million jobs, and you've promised to bring back millions of jobs for Americans. 0
115 HOLT How are you going to bring back the industries that have left this country for cheaper labor overseas? 0
116 HOLT How, specifically, are you going to tell American manufacturers that you have to come back? 0
117 TRUMP Well, for one thing -- and before we start on that -- my father gave me a very small loan in 1975, and I built it into a company that's worth many, many billions of dollars, with some of the greatest assets in the world, and I say that only because that's the kind of thinking that our country needs. 0
118 TRUMP Our country's in deep trouble. 0
119 TRUMP We don't know what we're doing when it comes to devaluations and all of these countries all over the world, especially China. 0
120 TRUMP They're the best, the best ever at it. 0
121 TRUMP What they're doing to us is a very, very sad thing. 0
122 TRUMP So we have to do that. 0
123 TRUMP We have to renegotiate our trade deals. 0
124 TRUMP And, Lester, they're taking our jobs, they're giving incentives, they're doing things that, frankly, we don't do. 0
125 TRUMP Let me give you the example of Mexico. 0
126 TRUMP They have a VAT tax. 0
127 TRUMP We're on a different system. 0
128 TRUMP When we sell into Mexico, there's a tax. 0
129 TRUMP When they sell in -- automatic, 16 percent, approximately. 0
130 TRUMP When they sell into us, there's no tax. 0
131 TRUMP It's a defective agreement. 0
132 TRUMP It's been defective for a long time, many years, but the politicians haven't done anything about it. 0
133 TRUMP Now, in all fairness to Secretary Clinton -- yes, is that OK? 0
134 TRUMP Good. 0
135 TRUMP I want you to be very happy. 0
136 TRUMP It's very important to me. 0
137 TRUMP But in all fairness to Secretary Clinton, when she started talking about this, it was really very recently. 0
138 TRUMP She's been doing this for 30 years. 0
139 TRUMP And why hasn't she made the agreements better? 0
140 TRUMP The NAFTA agreement is defective. 0
141 TRUMP Just because of the tax and many other reasons, but just because of the fact... 0
142 HOLT Let me interrupt just a moment, but... 0
143 TRUMP Secretary Clinton and others, politicians, should have been doing this for years, not right now, because of the fact that we've created a movement. 0
144 TRUMP They should have been doing this for years. 0
145 TRUMP What's happened to our jobs and our country and our economy generally is -- look, we owe $20 trillion. 0
146 TRUMP We cannot do it any longer, Lester. 0
147 HOLT Back to the question, though. 0
148 HOLT How do you bring back -- specifically bring back jobs, American manufacturers? 0
149 HOLT How do you make them bring the jobs back? 0
150 TRUMP Well, the first thing you do is don't let the jobs leave. 0
151 TRUMP The companies are leaving. 0
152 TRUMP I could name, I mean, there are thousands of them. 0
153 TRUMP They're leaving, and they're leaving in bigger numbers than ever. 0
154 TRUMP And what you do is you say, fine, you want to go to Mexico or some other country, good luck. 0
155 TRUMP We wish you a lot of luck. 0
156 TRUMP But if you think you're going to make your air conditioners or your cars or your cookies or whatever you make and bring them into our country without a tax, you're wrong. 0
157 TRUMP And once you say you're going to have to tax them coming in, and our politicians never do this, because they have special interests and the special interests want those companies to leave, because in many cases, they own the companies. 0
158 TRUMP So what I'm saying is, we can stop them from leaving. 0
159 TRUMP We have to stop them from leaving. 0
160 TRUMP And that's a big, big factor. 0
161 HOLT Let me let Secretary Clinton get in here. 0
162 CLINTON Well, let's stop for a second and remember where we were eight years ago. 0
163 CLINTON We had the worst financial crisis, the Great Recession, the worst since the 1930s. 0
164 CLINTON That was in large part because of tax policies that slashed taxes on the wealthy, failed to invest in the middle class, took their eyes off of Wall Street, and created a perfect storm. 0
165 CLINTON In fact, Donald was one of the people who rooted for the housing crisis. 1
166 CLINTON He said, back in 2006, "Gee, I hope it does collapse, because then I can go in and buy some and make some money." 1
167 CLINTON Well, it did collapse. 0
168 TRUMP That's called business, by the way. 0
169 CLINTON Nine million people -- nine million people lost their jobs. 0
170 CLINTON Five million people lost their homes. 0
171 CLINTON And $13 trillion in family wealth was wiped out. 0
172 CLINTON Now, we have come back from that abyss. 0
173 CLINTON And it has not been easy. 0
174 CLINTON So we're now on the precipice of having a potentially much better economy, but the last thing we need to do is to go back to the policies that failed us in the first place. 0
175 CLINTON Independent experts have looked at what I've proposed and looked at what Donald's proposed, and basically they've said this, that if his tax plan, which would blow up the debt by over $5 trillion and would in some instances disadvantage middle-class families compared to the wealthy, were to go into effect, we would lose 3.5 million jobs and maybe have another recession. 1
176 CLINTON They've looked at my plans and they've said, OK, if we can do this, and I intend to get it done, we will have 10 million more new jobs, because we will be making investments where we can grow the economy. 0
177 CLINTON Take clean energy. 0
178 CLINTON Some country is going to be the clean- energy superpower of the 21st century. 0
179 CLINTON Donald thinks that climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese. 1
180 CLINTON I think it's real. 0
181 TRUMP I did not. 0
182 TRUMP I did not. 0
183 TRUMP I do not say that. 1
184 CLINTON I think science is real. 0
185 TRUMP I do not say that. 0
186 CLINTON And I think it's important that we grip this and deal with it, both at home and abroad. 0
187 CLINTON And here's what we can do. 0
188 CLINTON We can deploy a half a billion more solar panels. 0
189 CLINTON We can have enough clean energy to power every home. 0
190 CLINTON We can build a new modern electric grid. 0
191 CLINTON That's a lot of jobs; that's a lot of new economic activity. 0
192 CLINTON So I've tried to be very specific about what we can and should do, and I am determined that we're going to get the economy really moving again, building on the progress we've made over the last eight years, but never going back to what got us in trouble in the first place. 0
193 HOLT Mr. Trump? 0
194 TRUMP She talks about solar panels. 0
195 TRUMP We invested in a solar company, our country. 0
196 TRUMP That was a disaster. 0
197 TRUMP They lost plenty of money on that one. 0
198 TRUMP Now, look, I'm a great believer in all forms of energy, but we're putting a lot of people out of work. 0
199 TRUMP Our energy policies are a disaster. 0
200 TRUMP Our country is losing so much in terms of energy, in terms of paying off our debt. 0
201 TRUMP You can't do what you're looking to do with $20 trillion in debt. 0
202 TRUMP The Obama administration, from the time they've come in, is over 230 years' worth of debt, and he's topped it. 1
203 TRUMP He's doubled it in a course of almost eight years, seven-and-a-half years, to be semi- exact. 1
204 TRUMP So I will tell you this. 0
205 TRUMP We have to do a much better job at keeping our jobs. 0
206 TRUMP And we have to do a much better job at giving companies incentives to build new companies or to expand, because they're not doing it. 0
207 TRUMP And all you have to do is look at Michigan and look at Ohio and look at all of these places where so many of their jobs and their companies are just leaving, they're gone. 0
208 TRUMP And, Hillary, I'd just ask you this. 0
209 TRUMP You've been doing this for 30 years. 0
210 TRUMP Why are you just thinking about these solutions right now? 0
211 TRUMP For 30 years, you've been doing it, and now you're just starting to think of solutions. 0
212 CLINTON Well, actually... 0
213 TRUMP I will bring -- excuse me. 0
214 TRUMP I will bring back jobs. 0
215 TRUMP You can't bring back jobs. 0
216 CLINTON Well, actually, I have thought about this quite a bit. 0
217 TRUMP Yeah, for 30 years. 0
218 CLINTON And I have -- well, not quite that long. 0
219 CLINTON I think my husband did a pretty good job in the 1990s. 0
220 CLINTON I think a lot about what worked and how we can make it work again... 0
221 TRUMP Well, he approved NAFTA... 0
222 SYSTEM (CROSSTALK) 0
223 CLINTON million new jobs, a balanced budget... 0
224 TRUMP He approved NAFTA, which is the single worst trade deal ever approved in this country. 0
225 CLINTON Incomes went up for everybody. 0
226 CLINTON Manufacturing jobs went up also in the 1990s, if we're actually going to look at the facts. 0
227 CLINTON When I was in the Senate, I had a number of trade deals that came before me, and I held them all to the same test. 0
228 CLINTON Will they create jobs in America? 0
229 CLINTON Will they raise incomes in America? 0
230 CLINTON And are they good for our national security? 0
231 CLINTON Some of them I voted for. 0
232 CLINTON The biggest one, a multinational one known as CAFTA, I voted against. 1
233 CLINTON And because I hold the same standards as I look at all of these trade deals. 0
234 CLINTON But let's not assume that trade is the only challenge we have in the economy. 0
235 CLINTON I think it is a part of it, and I've said what I'm going to do. 0
236 CLINTON I'm going to have a special prosecutor. 0
237 CLINTON We're going to enforce the trade deals we have, and we're going to hold people accountable. 0
238 CLINTON When I was secretary of state, we actually increased American exports globally 30 percent. 0
239 CLINTON We increased them to China 50 percent. 0
240 CLINTON So I know how to really work to get new jobs and to get exports that helped to create more new jobs. 0
241 HOLT Very quickly... 0
242 TRUMP But you haven't done it in 30 years or 26 years or any number you want to... 0
243 CLINTON Well, I've been a senator, Donald... 0
244 TRUMP You haven't done it. 0
245 TRUMP You haven't done it. 0
246 CLINTON And I have been a secretary of state... 0
247 TRUMP Excuse me. 0
248 CLINTON And I have done a lot... 0
249 TRUMP Your husband signed NAFTA, which was one of the worst things that ever happened to the manufacturing industry. 0
250 CLINTON Well, that's your opinion. 0
251 CLINTON That is your opinion. 0
252 TRUMP You go to New England, you go to Ohio, Pennsylvania, you go anywhere you want, Secretary Clinton, and you will see devastation where manufacture is down 30, 40, sometimes 50 percent. 1
253 TRUMP NAFTA is the worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere, but certainly ever signed in this country. 0
254 TRUMP And now you want to approve Trans-Pacific Partnership. 0
255 TRUMP You were totally in favor of it. 0
256 TRUMP Then you heard what I was saying, how bad it is, and you said, I can't win that debate. 0
257 TRUMP But you know that if you did win, you would approve that, and that will be almost as bad as NAFTA. 0
258 TRUMP Nothing will ever top NAFTA. 0
259 CLINTON Well, that is just not accurate. 0
260 CLINTON I was against it once it was finally negotiated and the terms were laid out. 0
261 CLINTON I wrote about that in... 0
262 TRUMP You called it the gold standard. 0
263 SYSTEM (CROSSTALK) 0
264 TRUMP You called it the gold standard of trade deals. 1
265 TRUMP You said it's the finest deal you've ever seen. 1
266 CLINTON No. 0
267 TRUMP And then you heard what I said about it, and all of a sudden you were against it. 0
268 CLINTON Well, Donald, I know you live in your own reality, but that is not the facts. 0
269 CLINTON The facts are -- I did say I hoped it would be a good deal, but when it was negotiated... 0
270 TRUMP Not. 0
271 CLINTON which I was not responsible for, I concluded it wasn't. 0
272 CLINTON I wrote about that in my book... 0
273 TRUMP So is it President Obama's fault? 0
274 CLINTON before you even announced. 0
275 TRUMP Is it President Obama's fault? 0
276 CLINTON Look, there are differences... 0
277 TRUMP Secretary, is it President Obama's fault? 0
278 CLINTON There are... 0
279 TRUMP Because he's pushing it. 0
280 CLINTON There are different views about what's good for our country, our economy, and our leadership in the world. 0
281 CLINTON And I think it's important to look at what we need to do to get the economy going again. 0
282 CLINTON That's why I said new jobs with rising incomes, investments, not in more tax cuts that would add $5 trillion to the debt. 0
283 TRUMP But you have no plan. 0
284 CLINTON But in -- oh, but I do. 0
285 TRUMP Secretary, you have no plan. 0
286 CLINTON In fact, I have written a book about it. 0
287 CLINTON It's called "Stronger Together." 0
288 CLINTON You can pick it up tomorrow at a bookstore... 0
289 TRUMP That's about all you've... 0
290 SYSTEM (CROSSTALK) 0
291 HOLT Folks, we're going to... 0
292 CLINTON or at an airport near you. 0
293 HOLT We're going to move to... 0
294 CLINTON But it's because I see this -- we need to have strong growth, fair growth, sustained growth. 0
295 CLINTON We also have to look at how we help families balance the responsibilities at home and the responsibilities at business. 0
296 CLINTON So we have a very robust set of plans. 0
297 CLINTON And people have looked at both of our plans, have concluded that mine would create 10 million jobs and yours would lose us 3.5 million jobs, and explode the debt which would have a recession. 0
298 TRUMP You are going to approve one of the biggest tax cuts in history. 0
299 TRUMP You are going to approve one of the biggest tax increases in history. 0
300 TRUMP You are going to drive business out. 0
301 TRUMP Your regulations are a disaster, and you're going to increase regulations all over the place. 0
302 TRUMP And by the way, my tax cut is the biggest since Ronald Reagan. 0
303 TRUMP I'm very proud of it. 0
304 TRUMP It will create tremendous numbers of new jobs. 0
305 TRUMP But regulations, you are going to regulate these businesses out of existence. 0
306 TRUMP When I go around -- Lester, I tell you this, I've been all over. 0
307 TRUMP And when I go around, despite the tax cut, the thing -- the things that business as in people like the most is the fact that I'm cutting regulation. 0
308 TRUMP You have regulations on top of regulations, and new companies cannot form and old companies are going out of business. 0
309 TRUMP And you want to increase the regulations and make them even worse. 0
310 TRUMP I'm going to cut regulations. 0
311 TRUMP I'm going to cut taxes big league, and you're going to raise taxes big league, end of story. 0
312 HOLT Let me get you to pause right there, because we're going to move into -- we're going to move into the next segment. 0
313 HOLT We're going to talk taxes... 0
314 CLINTON That can't -- that can't be left to stand. 0
315 HOLT Please just take 30 seconds and then we're going to go on. 0
316 CLINTON I kind of assumed that there would be a lot of these charges and claims, and so... 0
317 TRUMP Facts. 0
318 CLINTON So we have taken the home page of my website, HillaryClinton.com, and we've turned it into a fact-checker. 0
319 CLINTON So if you want to see in real-time what the facts are, please go and take a look. 0
320 CLINTON Because what I have proposed... 0
321 TRUMP And take a look at mine, also, and you'll see. 0
322 CLINTON would not add a penny to the debt, and your plans would add $5 trillion to the debt. 0
323 CLINTON What I have proposed would cut regulations and streamline them for small businesses. 0
324 CLINTON What I have proposed would be paid for by raising taxes on the wealthy, because they have made all the gains in the economy. 0
325 CLINTON And I think it's time that the wealthy and corporations paid their fair share to support this country. 0
326 HOLT Well, you just opened the next segment. 0
327 TRUMP Well, could I just finish -- I think I... 0
328 SYSTEM (CROSSTALK) 0
329 HOLT I'm going to give you a chance right here... 0
330 TRUMP I think I should -- you go to her website, and you take a look at her website. 0
331 HOLT with a new 15-minute segment... 0
332 TRUMP She's going to raise taxes $1.3 trillion. 0
333 HOLT Mr. Trump, I'm going to... 0
334 TRUMP And look at her website. 0
335 TRUMP You know what? 0
336 TRUMP It's no difference than this. 0
337 TRUMP She's telling us how to fight ISIS. 0
338 TRUMP Just go to her website. 0
339 TRUMP She tells you how to fight ISIS on her website. 0
340 TRUMP I don't think General Douglas MacArthur would like that too much. 0
341 HOLT The next segment, we're continuing... 0
342 CLINTON Well, at least I have a plan to fight ISIS. 0
343 HOLT achieving prosperity... 0
344 TRUMP No, no, you're telling the enemy everything you want to do. 0
345 CLINTON No, we're not. 0
346 CLINTON No, we're not. 0
347 TRUMP See, you're telling the enemy everything you want to do. 0
348 TRUMP No wonder you've been fighting -- no wonder you've been fighting ISIS your entire adult life. 0
349 CLINTON That's a -- that's -- go to the -- please, fact checkers, get to work. 0
350 HOLT OK, you are unpacking a lot here. 0
351 HOLT And we're still on the issue of achieving prosperity. 0
352 HOLT And I want to talk about taxes. 0
353 HOLT The fundamental difference between the two of you concerns the wealthy. 0
354 HOLT Secretary Clinton, you're calling for a tax increase on the wealthiest Americans. 0
355 HOLT I'd like you to further defend that. 0
356 HOLT And, Mr. Trump, you're calling for tax cuts for the wealthy. 0
357 HOLT I'd like you to defend that. 0
358 HOLT And this next two-minute answer goes to you, Mr. Trump. 0
359 TRUMP Well, I'm really calling for major jobs, because the wealthy are going create tremendous jobs. 0
360 TRUMP They're going to expand their companies. 0
361 TRUMP They're going to do a tremendous job. 0
362 TRUMP I'm getting rid of the carried interest provision. 0
363 TRUMP And if you really look, it's not a tax -- it's really not a great thing for the wealthy. 0
364 TRUMP It's a great thing for the middle class. 0
365 TRUMP It's a great thing for companies to expand. 0
366 TRUMP And when these people are going to put billions and billions of dollars into companies, and when they're going to bring $2.5 trillion back from overseas, where they can't bring the money back, because politicians like Secretary Clinton won't allow them to bring the money back, because the taxes are so onerous, and the bureaucratic red tape, so what -- is so bad. 0
367 TRUMP So what they're doing is they're leaving our country, and they're, believe it or not, leaving because taxes are too high and because some of them have lots of money outside of our country. 0
368 TRUMP And instead of bringing it back and putting the money to work, because they can't work out a deal to -- and everybody agrees it should be brought back. 0
369 TRUMP Instead of that, they're leaving our country to get their money, because they can't bring their money back into our country, because of bureaucratic red tape, because they can't get together. 0
370 TRUMP Because we have -- we have a president that can't sit them around a table and get them to approve something. 0
371 TRUMP And here's the thing. 0
372 TRUMP Republicans and Democrats agree that this should be done, $2.5 trillion. 0
373 TRUMP I happen to think it's double that. 0
374 TRUMP It's probably $5 trillion that we can't bring into our country, Lester. 0
375 TRUMP And with a little leadership, you'd get it in here very quickly, and it could be put to use on the inner cities and lots of other things, and it would be beautiful. 0
376 TRUMP But we have no leadership. 0
377 TRUMP And honestly, that starts with Secretary Clinton. 0
378 HOLT All right. 0
379 HOLT You have two minutes of the same question to defend tax increases on the wealthiest Americans, Secretary Clinton. 0
380 CLINTON I have a feeling that by, the end of this evening, I'm going to be blamed for everything that's ever happened. 0
381 TRUMP Why not? 0
382 CLINTON Why not? 0
383 CLINTON Yeah, why not? 0
384 SYSTEM (LAUGHTER) 0
385 CLINTON You know, just join the debate by saying more crazy things. 0
386 CLINTON Now, let me say this, it is absolutely the case... 0
387 TRUMP There's nothing crazy about not letting our companies bring their money back into their country. 0
388 HOLT This is -- this is Secretary Clinton's two minutes, please. 0
389 TRUMP Yes. 0
390 CLINTON Yeah, well, let's start the clock again, Lester. 0
391 CLINTON We've looked at your tax proposals. 0
392 CLINTON I don't see changes in the corporate tax rates or the kinds of proposals you're referring to that would cause the repatriation, bringing back of money that's stranded overseas. 0
393 CLINTON I happen to support that. 0
394 TRUMP Then you didn't read it. 0
395 CLINTON I happen to -- I happen to support that in a way that will actually work to our benefit. 0
396 CLINTON But when I look at what you have proposed, you have what is called now the Trump loophole, because it would so advantage you and the business you do. 0
397 CLINTON You've proposed an approach that has a... 0
398 TRUMP Who gave it that name? 0
399 TRUMP The first I've -- who gave it that name? 0
400 SYSTEM (CROSSTALK) 0
401 HOLT Mr. Trump, this is Secretary Clinton's two minutes. 0
402 CLINTON $4 billion tax benefit for your family. 0
403 CLINTON And when you look at what you are proposing... 0
404 TRUMP How much? 0
405 TRUMP How much for my family? 0
406 CLINTON it is... 0
407 TRUMP Lester, how much? 0
408 CLINTON as I said, trumped-up trickle-down. 0
409 CLINTON Trickle-down did not work. 0
410 CLINTON It got us into the mess we were in, in 2008 and 2009. 0
411 CLINTON Slashing taxes on the wealthy hasn't worked. 0
412 CLINTON And a lot of really smart, wealthy people know that. 0
413 CLINTON And they are saying, hey, we need to do more to make the contributions we should be making to rebuild the middle class. 0
414 CLINTON I don't think top-down works in America. 0
415 CLINTON I think building the middle class, investing in the middle class, making college debt-free so more young people can get their education, helping people refinance their -- their debt from college at a lower rate. 0
416 CLINTON Those are the kinds of things that will really boost the economy. 0
417 CLINTON Broad-based, inclusive growth is what we need in America, not more advantages for people at the very top. 0
418 HOLT Mr. Trump, we're... 0
419 TRUMP Typical politician. 0
420 TRUMP All talk, no action. 0
421 TRUMP Sounds good, doesn't work. 0
422 TRUMP Never going to happen. 0
423 TRUMP Our country is suffering because people like Secretary Clinton have made such bad decisions in terms of our jobs and in terms of what's going on. 0
424 TRUMP Now, look, we have the worst revival of an economy since the Great Depression. 1
425 TRUMP And believe me: We're in a bubble right now. 0
426 TRUMP And the only thing that looks good is the stock market, but if you raise interest rates even a little bit, that's going to come crashing down. 0
427 TRUMP We are in a big, fat, ugly bubble. 0
428 TRUMP And we better be awfully careful. 0
429 TRUMP And we have a Fed that's doing political things. 0
430 TRUMP This Janet Yellen of the Fed. 0
431 TRUMP The Fed is doing political -- by keeping the interest rates at this level. 0
432 TRUMP And believe me: The day Obama goes off, and he leaves, and goes out to the golf course for the rest of his life to play golf, when they raise interest rates, you're going to see some very bad things happen, because the Fed is not doing their job. 0
433 TRUMP The Fed is being more political than Secretary Clinton. 0
434 HOLT Mr. Trump, we're talking about the burden that Americans have to pay, yet you have not released your tax returns. 0
435 HOLT And the reason nominees have released their returns for decades is so that voters will know if their potential president owes money to -- who he owes it to and any business conflicts. 0
436 HOLT Don't Americans have a right to know if there are any conflicts of interest? 0
437 TRUMP I don't mind releasing -- I'm under a routine audit. 0
438 TRUMP And it'll be released. 0
439 TRUMP And -- as soon as the audit's finished, it will be released. 0
440 TRUMP But you will learn more about Donald Trump by going down to the federal elections, where I filed a 104-page essentially financial statement of sorts, the forms that they have. 1
441 TRUMP It shows income -- in fact, the income -- I just looked today -- the income is filed at $694 million for this past year, $694 million. 0
442 TRUMP If you would have told me I was going to make that 15 or 20 years ago, I would have been very surprised. 0
443 TRUMP But that's the kind of thinking that our country needs. 0
444 TRUMP When we have a country that's doing so badly, that's being ripped off by every single country in the world, it's the kind of thinking that our country needs, because everybody -- Lester, we have a trade deficit with all of the countries that we do business with, of almost $800 billion a year. 0
445 TRUMP You know what that is? 0
446 TRUMP That means, who's negotiating these trade deals? 0
447 TRUMP We have people that are political hacks negotiating our trade deals. 0
448 HOLT The IRS says an audit... 0
449 TRUMP Excuse me. 0
450 HOLT of your taxes -- you're perfectly free to release your taxes during an audit. 0
451 HOLT And so the question, does the public's right to know outweigh your personal... 0
452 TRUMP Well, I told you, I will release them as soon as the audit. 0
453 TRUMP Look, I've been under audit almost for 15 years. 0
454 TRUMP I know a lot of wealthy people that have never been audited. 0
455 TRUMP I said, do you get audited? 0
456 TRUMP I get audited almost every year. 0
457 TRUMP And in a way, I should be complaining. 0
458 TRUMP I'm not even complaining. 0
459 TRUMP I don't mind it. 0
460 TRUMP It's almost become a way of life. 0
461 TRUMP I get audited by the IRS. 0
462 TRUMP But other people don't. 0
463 TRUMP I will say this. 0
464 TRUMP We have a situation in this country that has to be taken care of. 0
465 TRUMP I will release my tax returns -- against my lawyer's wishes -- when she releases her 33,000 e-mails that have been deleted. 0
466 TRUMP As soon as she releases them, I will release. 0
467 SYSTEM (APPLAUSE) 0
468 TRUMP I will release my tax returns. 0
469 TRUMP And that's against -- my lawyers, they say, "Don't do it." 0
470 TRUMP I will tell you this. 0
471 TRUMP No -- in fact, watching shows, they're reading the papers. 0
472 TRUMP Almost every lawyer says, you don't release your returns until the audit's complete. 0
473 TRUMP When the audit's complete, I'll do it. 0
474 TRUMP But I would go against them if she releases her e-mails. 0
475 HOLT So it's negotiable? 0
476 TRUMP It's not negotiable, no. 0
477 TRUMP Let her release the e-mails. 0
478 TRUMP Why did she delete 33,000... 0
479 HOLT Well, I'll let her answer that. 0
480 HOLT But let me just admonish the audience one more time. 0
481 HOLT There was an agreement. 0
482 HOLT We did ask you to be silent, so it would be helpful for us. 0
483 HOLT Secretary Clinton? 0
484 CLINTON Well, I think you've seen another example of bait-and- switch here. 0
485 CLINTON For 40 years, everyone running for president has released their tax returns. 0
486 CLINTON You can go and see nearly, I think, 39, 40 years of our tax returns, but everyone has done it. 0
487 CLINTON We know the IRS has made clear there is no prohibition on releasing it when you're under audit. 0
488 CLINTON So you've got to ask yourself, why won't he release his tax returns? 0
489 CLINTON And I think there may be a couple of reasons. 0
490 CLINTON First, maybe he's not as rich as he says he is. 0
491 CLINTON Second, maybe he's not as charitable as he claims to be. 0
492 CLINTON Third, we don't know all of his business dealings, but we have been told through investigative reporting that he owes about $650 million to Wall Street and foreign banks. 0
493 CLINTON Or maybe he doesn't want the American people, all of you watching tonight, to know that he's paid nothing in federal taxes, because the only years that anybody's ever seen were a couple of years when he had to turn them over to state authorities when he was trying to get a casino license, and they showed he didn't pay any federal income tax. 1
494 TRUMP That makes me smart. 0
495 CLINTON So if he's paid zero, that means zero for troops, zero for vets, zero for schools or health. 0
496 CLINTON And I think probably he's not all that enthusiastic about having the rest of our country see what the real reasons are, because it must be something really important, even terrible, that he's trying to hide. 0
497 CLINTON And the financial disclosure statements, they don't give you the tax rate. 0
498 CLINTON They don't give you all the details that tax returns would. 0
499 CLINTON And it just seems to me that this is something that the American people deserve to see. 0
500 CLINTON And I have no reason to believe that he's ever going to release his tax returns, because there's something he's hiding. 0
501 CLINTON And we'll guess. 0
502 CLINTON We'll keep guessing at what it might be that he's hiding. 0
503 CLINTON But I think the question is, were he ever to get near the White House, what would be those conflicts? 0
504 CLINTON Who does he owe money to? 0
505 CLINTON Well, he owes you the answers to that, and he should provide them. 0
506 HOLT He also -- he also raised the issue of your e-mails. 0
507 HOLT Do you want to respond to that? 0
508 CLINTON I do. 0
509 CLINTON You know, I made a mistake using a private e- mail. 0
510 TRUMP That's for sure. 0
511 CLINTON And if I had to do it over again, I would, obviously, do it differently. 0
512 CLINTON But I'm not going to make any excuses. 0
513 CLINTON It was a mistake, and I take responsibility for that. 0
514 HOLT Mr. Trump? 0
515 TRUMP That was more than a mistake. 0
516 TRUMP That was done purposely. 0
517 TRUMP OK? 0
518 TRUMP That was not a mistake. 0
519 TRUMP That was done purposely. 0
520 TRUMP When you have your staff taking the Fifth Amendment, taking the Fifth so they're not prosecuted, when you have the man that set up the illegal server taking the Fifth, I think it's disgraceful. 0
521 TRUMP And believe me, this country thinks it's -- really thinks it's disgraceful, also. 0
522 TRUMP As far as my tax returns, you don't learn that much from tax returns. 0
523 TRUMP That I can tell you. 0
524 TRUMP You learn a lot from financial disclosure. 0
525 TRUMP And you should go down and take a look at that. 0
526 TRUMP The other thing, I'm extremely underleveraged. 0
527 TRUMP The report that said $650 -- which, by the way, a lot of friends of mine that know my business say, boy, that's really not a lot of money. 0
528 TRUMP It's not a lot of money relative to what I had. 0
529 TRUMP The buildings that were in question, they said in the same report, which was -- actually, it wasn't even a bad story, to be honest with you, but the buildings are worth $3.9 billion. 0
530 TRUMP And the $650 isn't even on that. 0
531 TRUMP But it's not $650. 0
532 TRUMP It's much less than that. 0
533 TRUMP But I could give you a list of banks, I would -- if that would help you, I would give you a list of banks. 0
534 TRUMP These are very fine institutions, very fine banks. 0
535 TRUMP I could do that very quickly. 0
536 TRUMP I am very underleveraged. 0
537 TRUMP I have a great company. 0
538 TRUMP I have a tremendous income. 0
539 TRUMP And the reason I say that is not in a braggadocios way. 0
540 TRUMP It's because it's about time that this country had somebody running it that has an idea about money. 0
541 TRUMP When we have $20 trillion in debt, and our country's a mess, you know, it's one thing to have $20 trillion in debt and our roads are good and our bridges are good and everything's in great shape, our airports. 0
542 TRUMP Our airports are like from a third world country. 0
543 TRUMP You land at LaGuardia, you land at Kennedy, you land at LAX, you land at Newark, and you come in from Dubai and Qatar and you see these incredible -- you come in from China, you see these incredible airports, and you land -- we've become a third world country. 0
544 TRUMP So the worst of all things has happened. 0
545 TRUMP We owe $20 trillion, and we're a mess. 0
546 TRUMP We haven't even started. 0
547 TRUMP And we've spent $6 trillion in the Middle East, according to a report that I just saw. 0
548 TRUMP Whether it's 6 or 5, but it looks like it's 6, $6 trillion in the Middle East, we could have rebuilt our country twice. 0
549 TRUMP And it's really a shame. 0
550 TRUMP And it's politicians like Secretary Clinton that have caused this problem. 0
551 TRUMP Our country has tremendous problems. 0
552 TRUMP We're a debtor nation. 0
553 TRUMP We're a serious debtor nation. 0
554 TRUMP And we have a country that needs new roads, new tunnels, new bridges, new airports, new schools, new hospitals. 0
555 TRUMP And we don't have the money, because it's been squandered on so many of your ideas. 0
556 HOLT We'll let you respond and we'll move on to the next segment. 0
557 CLINTON And maybe because you haven't paid any federal income tax for a lot of years. 0
558 SYSTEM (APPLAUSE) 0
559 CLINTON And the other thing I think is important... 0
560 TRUMP It would be squandered, too, believe me. 0
561 CLINTON is if your -- if your main claim to be president of the United States is your business, then I think we should talk about that. 0
562 CLINTON You know, your campaign manager said that you built a lot of businesses on the backs of little guys. 0
563 CLINTON And, indeed, I have met a lot of the people who were stiffed by you and your businesses, Donald. 0
564 CLINTON I've met dishwashers, painters, architects, glass installers, marble installers, drapery installers, like my dad was, who you refused to pay when they finished the work that you asked them to do. 0
565 CLINTON We have an architect in the audience who designed one of your clubhouses at one of your golf courses. 0
566 CLINTON It's a beautiful facility. 0
567 CLINTON It immediately was put to use. 0
568 CLINTON And you wouldn't pay what the man needed to be paid, what he was charging you to do... 0
569 TRUMP Maybe he didn't do a good job and I was unsatisfied with his work... 0
570 CLINTON Well, to... 0
571 TRUMP Which our country should do, too. 0
572 CLINTON Do the thousands of people that you have stiffed over the course of your business not deserve some kind of apology from someone who has taken their labor, taken the goods that they produced, and then refused to pay them? 0
573 CLINTON I can only say that I'm certainly relieved that my late father never did business with you. 0
574 CLINTON He provided a good middle-class life for us, but the people he worked for, he expected the bargain to be kept on both sides. 0
575 CLINTON And when we talk about your business, you've taken business bankruptcy six times. 1
576 CLINTON There are a lot of great businesspeople that have never taken bankruptcy once. 0
577 CLINTON You call yourself the King of Debt. 0
578 CLINTON You talk about leverage. 0
579 CLINTON You even at one time suggested that you would try to negotiate down the national debt of the United States. 1
580 TRUMP Wrong. 0
581 TRUMP Wrong. 0
582 CLINTON Well, sometimes there's not a direct transfer of skills from business to government, but sometimes what happened in business would be really bad for government. 0
583 HOLT Let's let Mr. Trump... 0
584 CLINTON And we need to be very clear about that. 0
585 TRUMP So, yeah, I think -- I do think it's time. 0
586 TRUMP Look, it's all words, it's all sound bites. 0
587 TRUMP I built an unbelievable company. 0
588 TRUMP Some of the greatest assets anywhere in the world, real estate assets anywhere in the world, beyond the United States, in Europe, lots of different places. 0
589 TRUMP It's an unbelievable company. 0
590 TRUMP But on occasion, four times, we used certain laws that are there. 0
591 TRUMP And when Secretary Clinton talks about people that didn't get paid, first of all, they did get paid a lot, but taken advantage of the laws of the nation. 0
592 TRUMP Now, if you want to change the laws, you've been there a long time, change the laws. 0
593 TRUMP But I take advantage of the laws of the nation because I'm running a company. 0
594 TRUMP My obligation right now is to do well for myself, my family, my employees, for my companies. 0
595 TRUMP And that's what I do. 0
596 TRUMP But what she doesn't say is that tens of thousands of people that are unbelievably happy and that love me. 0
597 TRUMP I'll give you an example. 0
598 TRUMP We're just opening up on Pennsylvania Avenue right next to the White House, so if I don't get there one way, I'm going to get to Pennsylvania Avenue another. 0
599 TRUMP But we're opening the Old Post Office. 0
600 TRUMP Under budget, ahead of schedule, saved tremendous money. 0
601 TRUMP I'm a year ahead of schedule. 0
602 TRUMP And that's what this country should be doing. 0
603 TRUMP We build roads and they cost two and three and four times what they're supposed to cost. 0
604 TRUMP We buy products for our military and they come in at costs that are so far above what they were supposed to be, because we don't have people that know what they're doing. 0
605 TRUMP When we look at the budget, the budget is bad to a large extent because we have people that have no idea as to what to do and how to buy. 0
606 TRUMP The Trump International is way under budget and way ahead of schedule. 0
607 TRUMP And we should be able to do that for our country. 0
608 HOLT Well, we're well behind schedule, so I want to move to our next segment. 0
609 HOLT We move into our next segment talking about America's direction. 0
610 HOLT And let's start by talking about race. 0
611 HOLT The share of Americans who say race relations are bad in this country is the highest it's been in decades, much of it amplified by shootings of African-Americans by police, as we've seen recently in Charlotte and Tulsa. 0
612 HOLT Race has been a big issue in this campaign, and one of you is going to have to bridge a very wide and bitter gap. 0
613 HOLT So how do you heal the divide? 0
614 HOLT Secretary Clinton, you get two minutes on this. 0
615 CLINTON Well, you're right. 0
616 CLINTON Race remains a significant challenge in our country. 0
617 CLINTON Unfortunately, race still determines too much, often determines where people live, determines what kind of education in their public schools they can get, and, yes, it determines how they're treated in the criminal justice system. 0
618 CLINTON We've just seen those two tragic examples in both Tulsa and Charlotte. 0
619 CLINTON And we've got to do several things at the same time. 0
620 CLINTON We have to restore trust between communities and the police. 0
621 CLINTON We have to work to make sure that our police are using the best training, the best techniques, that they're well prepared to use force only when necessary. 0
622 CLINTON Everyone should be respected by the law, and everyone should respect the law. 0
623 CLINTON Right now, that's not the case in a lot of our neighborhoods. 0
624 CLINTON So I have, ever since the first day of my campaign, called for criminal justice reform. 0
625 CLINTON I've laid out a platform that I think would begin to remedy some of the problems we have in the criminal justice system. 0
626 CLINTON But we also have to recognize, in addition to the challenges that we face with policing, there are so many good, brave police officers who equally want reform. 0
627 CLINTON So we have to bring communities together in order to begin working on that as a mutual goal. 0
628 CLINTON And we've got to get guns out of the hands of people who should not have them. 0
629 CLINTON The gun epidemic is the leading cause of death of young African- American men, more than the next nine causes put together. 1
630 CLINTON So we have to do two things, as I said. 0
631 CLINTON We have to restore trust. 0
632 CLINTON We have to work with the police. 0
633 CLINTON We have to make sure they respect the communities and the communities respect them. 0
634 CLINTON And we have to tackle the plague of gun violence, which is a big contributor to a lot of the problems that we're seeing today. 0
635 HOLT All right, Mr. Trump, you have two minutes. 0
636 HOLT How do you heal the divide? 0
637 TRUMP Well, first of all, Secretary Clinton doesn't want to use a couple of words, and that's law and order. 0
638 TRUMP And we need law and order. 0
639 TRUMP If we don't have it, we're not going to have a country. 0
640 TRUMP And when I look at what's going on in Charlotte, a city I love, a city where I have investments, when I look at what's going on throughout various parts of our country, whether it's -- I mean, I can just keep naming them all day long -- we need law and order in our country. 0
641 TRUMP I just got today the, as you know, the endorsement of the Fraternal Order of Police, we just -- just came in. 0
642 TRUMP We have endorsements from, I think, almost every police group, very -- I mean, a large percentage of them in the United States. 0
643 TRUMP We have a situation where we have our inner cities, African- Americans, Hispanics are living in he'll because it's so dangerous. 0
644 TRUMP You walk down the street, you get shot. 0
645 TRUMP In Chicago, they've had thousands of shootings, thousands since January 1st. 1
646 TRUMP Thousands of shootings. 0
647 TRUMP And I'm saying, where is this? 0
648 TRUMP Is this a war-torn country? 0
649 TRUMP What are we doing? 0
650 TRUMP And we have to stop the violence. 0
651 TRUMP We have to bring back law and order. 0
652 TRUMP In a place like Chicago, where thousands of people have been killed, thousands over the last number of years, in fact, almost 4,000 have been killed since Barack Obama became president, over -- almost 4,000 people in Chicago have been killed. 0
653 TRUMP We have to bring back law and order. 0
654 TRUMP Now, whether or not in a place like Chicago you do stop and frisk, which worked very well, Mayor Giuliani is here, worked very well in New York. 0
655 TRUMP It brought the crime rate way down. 0
656 TRUMP But you take the gun away from criminals that shouldn't be having it. 0
657 TRUMP We have gangs roaming the street. 0
658 TRUMP And in many cases, they're illegally here, illegal immigrants. 0
659 TRUMP And they have guns. 0
660 TRUMP And they shoot people. 0
661 TRUMP And we have to be very strong. 0
662 TRUMP And we have to be very vigilant. 0
663 TRUMP We have to be -- we have to know what we're doing. 0
664 TRUMP Right now, our police, in many cases, are afraid to do anything. 0
665 TRUMP We have to protect our inner cities, because African-American communities are being decimated by crime, decimated. 0
666 HOLT Your two -- your two minutes expired, but I do want to follow up. 0
667 HOLT Stop-and-frisk was ruled unconstitutional in New York, because it largely singled out black and Hispanic young men. 0
668 TRUMP No, you're wrong. 0
669 TRUMP It went before a judge, who was a very against-police judge. 0
670 TRUMP It was taken away from her. 0
671 TRUMP And our mayor, our new mayor, refused to go forward with the case. 0
672 TRUMP They would have won an appeal. 0
673 TRUMP If you look at it, throughout the country, there are many places where it's allowed. 0
674 HOLT The argument is that it's a form of racial profiling. 0
675 TRUMP No, the argument is that we have to take the guns away from these people that have them and they are bad people that shouldn't have them. 0
676 TRUMP These are felons. 0
677 TRUMP These are people that are bad people that shouldn't be -- when you have 3,000 shootings in Chicago from January 1st, when you have 4,000 people killed in Chicago by guns, from the beginning of the presidency of Barack Obama, his hometown, you have to have stop-and-frisk. 0
678 TRUMP You need more police. 0
679 TRUMP You need a better community, you know, relation. 0
680 TRUMP You don't have good community relations in Chicago. 0
681 TRUMP It's terrible. 0
682 TRUMP I have property there. 0
683 TRUMP It's terrible what's going on in Chicago. 0
684 TRUMP But when you look -- and Chicago's not the only -- you go to Ferguson, you go to so many different places. 0
685 TRUMP You need better relationships. 0
686 TRUMP I agree with Secretary Clinton on this. 0
687 TRUMP You need better relationships between the communities and the police, because in some cases, it's not good. 0
688 TRUMP But you look at Dallas, where the relationships were really studied, the relationships were really a beautiful thing, and then five police officers were killed one night very violently. 0
689 TRUMP So there's some bad things going on. 0
690 TRUMP Some really bad things. 0
691 HOLT Secretary Clinton... 0
692 TRUMP But we need -- Lester, we need law and order. 0
693 TRUMP And we need law and order in the inner cities, because the people that are most affected by what's happening are African-American and Hispanic people. 0
694 TRUMP And it's very unfair to them what our politicians are allowing to happen. 0
695 HOLT Secretary Clinton? 0
696 CLINTON Well, I've heard -- I've heard Donald say this at his rallies, and it's really unfortunate that he paints such a dire negative picture of black communities in our country. 0
697 TRUMP Ugh. 0
698 CLINTON You know, the vibrancy of the black church, the black businesses that employ so many people, the opportunities that so many families are working to provide for their kids. 0
699 CLINTON There's a lot that we should be proud of and we should be supporting and lifting up. 0
700 CLINTON But we do always have to make sure we keep people safe. 0
701 CLINTON There are the right ways of doing it, and then there are ways that are ineffective. 0
702 CLINTON Stop-and-frisk was found to be unconstitutional and, in part, because it was ineffective. 0
703 CLINTON It did not do what it needed to do. 0
704 CLINTON Now, I believe in community policing. 0
705 CLINTON And, in fact, violent crime is one-half of what it was in 1991. 0
706 CLINTON Property crime is down 40 percent. 0
707 CLINTON We just don't want to see it creep back up. 0
708 CLINTON We've had 25 years of very good cooperation. 0
709 CLINTON But there were some problems, some unintended consequences. 0
710 CLINTON Too many young African-American and Latino men ended up in jail for nonviolent offenses. 0
711 CLINTON And it's just a fact that if you're a young African-American man and you do the same thing as a young white man, you are more likely to be arrested, charged, convicted, and incarcerated. 1
712 CLINTON So we've got to address the systemic racism in our criminal justice system. 0
713 CLINTON We cannot just say law and order. 0
714 CLINTON We have to say -- we have to come forward with a plan that is going to divert people from the criminal justice system, deal with mandatory minimum sentences, which have put too many people away for too long for doing too little. 0
715 CLINTON We need to have more second chance programs. 0
716 CLINTON I'm glad that we're ending private prisons in the federal system; I want to see them ended in the state system. 0
717 CLINTON You shouldn't have a profit motivation to fill prison cells with young Americans. 0
718 CLINTON So there are some positive ways we can work on this. 0
719 CLINTON And I believe strongly that commonsense gun safety measures would assist us. 0
720 CLINTON Right now -- and this is something Donald has supported, along with the gun lobby -- right now, we've got too many military- style weapons on the streets. 0
721 CLINTON In a lot of places, our police are outgunned. 0
722 CLINTON We need comprehensive background checks, and we need to keep guns out of the hands of those who will do harm. 0
723 CLINTON And we finally need to pass a prohibition on anyone who's on the terrorist watch list from being able to buy a gun in our country. 0
724 CLINTON If you're too dangerous to fly, you are too dangerous to buy a gun. 0
725 CLINTON So there are things we can do, and we ought to do it in a bipartisan way. 0
726 HOLT Secretary Clinton, last week, you said we've got to do everything possible to improve policing, to go right at implicit bias. 0
727 HOLT Do you believe that police are implicitly biased against black people? 0
728 CLINTON Lester, I think implicit bias is a problem for everyone, not just police. 0
729 CLINTON I think, unfortunately, too many of us in our great country jump to conclusions about each other. 0
730 CLINTON And therefore, I think we need all of us to be asking hard questions about, you know, why am I feeling this way? 0
731 CLINTON But when it comes to policing, since it can have literally fatal consequences, I have said, in my first budget, we would put money into that budget to help us deal with implicit bias by retraining a lot of our police officers. 0
732 CLINTON I've met with a group of very distinguished, experienced police chiefs a few weeks ago. 0
733 CLINTON They admit it's an issue. 0
734 CLINTON They've got a lot of concerns. 0
735 CLINTON Mental health is one of the biggest concerns, because now police are having to handle a lot of really difficult mental health problems on the street. 0
736 CLINTON They want support, they want more training, they want more assistance. 0
737 CLINTON And I think the federal government could be in a position where we would offer and provide that. 0
738 HOLT Mr. Trump... 0
739 TRUMP I'd like to respond to that. 0
740 HOLT Please. 0
741 TRUMP First of all, I agree, and a lot of people even within my own party want to give certain rights to people on watch lists and no- fly lists. 0
742 TRUMP I agree with you. 0
743 TRUMP When a person is on a watch list or a no-fly list, and I have the endorsement of the NRA, which I'm very proud of. 0
744 TRUMP These are very, very good people, and they're protecting the Second Amendment. 0
745 TRUMP But I think we have to look very strongly at no-fly lists and watch lists. 0
746 TRUMP And when people are on there, even if they shouldn't be on there, we'll help them, we'll help them legally, we'll help them get off. 0
747 TRUMP But I tend to agree with that quite strongly. 0
748 TRUMP I do want to bring up the fact that you were the one that brought up the words super-predator about young black youth. 1
749 TRUMP And that's a term that I think was a -- it's -- it's been horribly met, as you know. 0
750 TRUMP I think you've apologized for it. 0
751 TRUMP But I think it was a terrible thing to say. 0
752 TRUMP And when it comes to stop-and-frisk, you know, you're talking about takes guns away. 0
753 TRUMP Well, I'm talking about taking guns away from gangs and people that use them. 0
754 TRUMP And I don't think -- I really don't think you disagree with me on this, if you want to know the truth. 0
755 TRUMP I think maybe there's a political reason why you can't say it, but I really don't believe -- in New York City, stop-and-frisk, we had 2,200 murders, and stop-and-frisk brought it down to 500 murders. 0
756 TRUMP Five hundred murders is a lot of murders. 0
757 TRUMP It's hard to believe, 500 is like supposed to be good? 0
758 TRUMP But we went from 2,200 to 500. 0
759 TRUMP And it was continued on by Mayor Bloomberg. 0
760 TRUMP And it was terminated by current mayor. 0
761 TRUMP But stop-and- frisk had a tremendous impact on the safety of New York City. 0
762 TRUMP Tremendous beyond belief. 0
763 TRUMP So when you say it has no impact, it really did. 0
764 TRUMP It had a very, very big impact. 0
765 CLINTON Well, it's also fair to say, if we're going to talk about mayors, that under the current mayor, crime has continued to drop, including murders. 0
766 CLINTON So there is... 0
767 TRUMP No, you're wrong. 0
768 TRUMP You're wrong. 0
769 CLINTON No, I'm not. 0
770 TRUMP Murders are up. 0
771 TRUMP All right. 0
772 TRUMP You check it. 0
773 CLINTON New York -- New York has done an excellent job. 0
774 CLINTON And I give credit -- I give credit across the board going back two mayors, two police chiefs, because it has worked. 0
775 CLINTON And other communities need to come together to do what will work, as well. 0
776 CLINTON Look, one murder is too many. 0
777 CLINTON But it is important that we learn about what has been effective. 0
778 CLINTON And not go to things that sound good that really did not have the kind of impact that we would want. 0
779 CLINTON Who disagrees with keeping neighborhoods safe? 0
780 CLINTON But let's also add, no one should disagree about respecting the rights of young men who live in those neighborhoods. 0
781 CLINTON And so we need to do a better job of working, again, with the communities, faith communities, business communities, as well as the police to try to deal with this problem. 0
782 HOLT This conversation is about race. 0
783 HOLT And so, Mr. Trump, I have to ask you for five... 0
784 TRUMP I'd like to just respond, if I might. 0
785 HOLT Please -- 20 seconds. 0
786 TRUMP I'd just like to respond. 0
787 HOLT Please respond, then I've got a quick follow-up for you. 0
788 TRUMP I will. 0
789 TRUMP Look, the African-American community has been let down by our politicians. 0
790 TRUMP They talk good around election time, like right now, and after the election, they said, see ya later, I'll see you in four years. 0
791 TRUMP The African-American community -- because -- look, the community within the inner cities has been so badly treated. 0
792 TRUMP They've been abused and used in order to get votes by Democrat politicians, because that's what it is. 0
793 TRUMP They've controlled these communities for up to 100 years. 0
794 HOLT Mr. Trump, let me... 0
795 SYSTEM (CROSSTALK) 0
796 CLINTON Well, I -- I do think... 0
797 TRUMP And I will tell you, you look at the inner cities -- and I just left Detroit, and I just left Philadelphia, and I just -- you know, you've seen me, I've been all over the place. 0
798 TRUMP You decided to stay home, and that's OK. 0
799 TRUMP But I will tell you, I've been all over. 0
800 TRUMP And I've met some of the greatest people I'll ever meet within these communities. 0
801 TRUMP And they are very, very upset with what their politicians have told them and what their politicians have done. 0
802 HOLT Mr. Trump, I... 0
803 CLINTON I think -- I think -- I think Donald just criticized me for preparing for this debate. 0
804 CLINTON And, yes, I did. 0
805 CLINTON And you know what else I prepared for? 0
806 CLINTON I prepared to be president. 0
807 CLINTON And I think that's a good thing. 0
808 SYSTEM (APPLAUSE) 0
809 HOLT Mr. Trump, for five years, you perpetuated a false claim that the nation's first black president was not a natural-born citizen. 0
810 HOLT You questioned his legitimacy. 0
811 HOLT In the last couple of weeks, you acknowledged what most Americans have accepted for years: The president was born in the United States. 0
812 HOLT Can you tell us what took you so long? 0
813 TRUMP I'll tell you very -- well, just very simple to say. 0
814 TRUMP Sidney Blumenthal works for the campaign and close -- very close friend of Secretary Clinton. 0
815 TRUMP And her campaign manager, Patti Doyle, went to -- during the campaign, her campaign against President Obama, fought very hard. 0
816 TRUMP And you can go look it up, and you can check it out. 0
817 TRUMP And if you look at CNN this past week, Patti Solis Doyle was on Wolf Blitzer saying that this happened. 0
818 TRUMP Blumenthal sent McClatchy, highly respected reporter at McClatchy, to Kenya to find out about it. 0
819 TRUMP They were pressing it very hard. 1
820 TRUMP She failed to get the birth certificate. 0
821 TRUMP When I got involved, I didn't fail. 0
822 TRUMP I got him to give the birth certificate. 0
823 TRUMP So I'm satisfied with it. 0
824 TRUMP And I'll tell you why I'm satisfied with it. 0
825 HOLT That was... 0
826 SYSTEM (CROSSTALK) 0
827 TRUMP Because I want to get on to defeating ISIS, because I want to get on to creating jobs, because I want to get on to having a strong border, because I want to get on to things that are very important to me and that are very important to the country. 0
828 HOLT I will let you respond. 0
829 HOLT It's important. 0
830 HOLT But I just want to get the answer here. 0
831 HOLT The birth certificate was produced in 2011. 0
832 HOLT You've continued to tell the story and question the president's legitimacy in 2012, '13, '14, '15... 0
833 TRUMP Yeah. 0
834 HOLT as recently as January. 0
835 HOLT So the question is, what changed your mind? 0
836 TRUMP Well, nobody was pressing it, nobody was caring much about it. 0
837 TRUMP I figured you'd ask the question tonight, of course. 0
838 TRUMP But nobody was caring much about it. 0
839 TRUMP But I was the one that got him to produce the birth certificate. 0
840 TRUMP And I think I did a good job. 0
841 TRUMP Secretary Clinton also fought it. 0
842 TRUMP I mean, you know -- now, everybody in mainstream is going to say, oh, that's not true. 0
843 TRUMP Look, it's true. 0
844 TRUMP Sidney Blumenthal sent a reporter -- you just have to take a look at CNN, the last week, the interview with your former campaign manager. 0
845 TRUMP And she was involved. 0
846 TRUMP But just like she can't bring back jobs, she can't produce. 0
847 HOLT I'm sorry. 0
848 HOLT I'm just going to follow up -- and I will let you respond to that, because there's a lot there. 0
849 HOLT But we're talking about racial healing in this segment. 0
850 HOLT What do you say to Americans, people of color who... 0
851 SYSTEM (CROSSTALK) 0
852 TRUMP Well, it was very -- I say nothing. 0
853 TRUMP I say nothing, because I was able to get him to produce it. 0
854 TRUMP He should have produced it a long time before. 0
855 TRUMP I say nothing. 0
856 TRUMP But let me just tell you. 0
857 TRUMP When you talk about healing, I think that I've developed very, very good relationships over the last little while with the African-American community. 0
858 TRUMP I think you can see that. 0
859 TRUMP And I feel that they really wanted me to come to that conclusion. 0
860 TRUMP And I think I did a great job and a great service not only for the country, but even for the president, in getting him to produce his birth certificate. 0
861 HOLT Secretary Clinton? 0
862 CLINTON Well, just listen to what you heard. 0
863 SYSTEM (LAUGHTER) 0
864 CLINTON And clearly, as Donald just admitted, he knew he was going to stand on this debate stage, and Lester Holt was going to be asking us questions, so he tried to put the whole racist birther lie to bed. 0
865 CLINTON But it can't be dismissed that easily. 0
866 CLINTON He has really started his political activity based on this racist lie that our first black president was not an American citizen. 0
867 CLINTON There was absolutely no evidence for it, but he persisted, he persisted year after year, because some of his supporters, people that he was trying to bring into his fold, apparently believed it or wanted to believe it. 0
868 CLINTON But, remember, Donald started his career back in 1973 being sued by the Justice Department for racial discrimination because he would not rent apartments in one of his developments to African-Americans, and he made sure that the people who worked for him understood that was the policy. 1
869 CLINTON He actually was sued twice by the Justice Department. 0
870 CLINTON So he has a long record of engaging in racist behavior. 0
871 CLINTON And the birther lie was a very hurtful one. 0
872 CLINTON You know, Barack Obama is a man of great dignity. 0
873 CLINTON And I could tell how much it bothered him and annoyed him that this was being touted and used against him. 0
874 CLINTON But I like to remember what Michelle Obama said in her amazing speech at our Democratic National Convention: When they go low, we go high. 0
875 CLINTON And Barack Obama went high, despite Donald Trump's best efforts to bring him down. 0
876 HOLT Mr. Trump, you can respond and we're going to move on to the next segment. 0
877 TRUMP I would love to respond. 0
878 TRUMP First of all, I got to watch in preparing for this some of your debates against Barack Obama. 0
879 TRUMP You treated him with terrible disrespect. 0
880 TRUMP And I watched the way you talk now about how lovely everything is and how wonderful you are. 0
881 TRUMP It doesn't work that way. 0
882 TRUMP You were after him, you were trying to -- you even sent out or your campaign sent out pictures of him in a certain garb, very famous pictures. 0
883 TRUMP I don't think you can deny that. 0
884 TRUMP But just last week, your campaign manager said it was true. 0
885 TRUMP So when you tried to act holier than thou, it really doesn't work. 0
886 TRUMP It really doesn't. 0
887 TRUMP Now, as far as the lawsuit, yes, when I was very young, I went into my father's company, had a real estate company in Brooklyn and Queens, and we, along with many, many other companies throughout the country -- it was a federal lawsuit -- were sued. 0
888 TRUMP We settled the suit with zero -- with no admission of guilt. 0
889 TRUMP It was very easy to do. 0
890 TRUMP I notice you bring that up a lot. 0
891 TRUMP And, you know, I also notice the very nasty commercials that you do on me in so many different ways, which I don't do on you. 0
892 TRUMP Maybe I'm trying to save the money. 0
893 TRUMP But, frankly, I look -- I look at that, and I say, isn't that amazing? 0
894 TRUMP Because I settled that lawsuit with no admission of guilt, but that was a lawsuit brought against many real estate firms, and it's just one of those things. 0
895 TRUMP I'll go one step further. 0
896 TRUMP In Palm Beach, Florida, tough community, a brilliant community, a wealthy community, probably the wealthiest community there is in the world, I opened a club, and really got great credit for it. 0
897 TRUMP No discrimination against African- Americans, against Muslims, against anybody. 0
898 TRUMP And it's a tremendously successful club. 0
899 TRUMP And I'm so glad I did it. 0
900 TRUMP And I have been given great credit for what I did. 0
901 TRUMP And I'm very, very proud of it. 0
902 TRUMP And that's the way I feel. 0
903 TRUMP That is the true way I feel. 0
904 HOLT Our next segment is called "Securing America." 0
905 HOLT We want to start with a 21st century war happening every day in this country. 0
906 HOLT Our institutions are under cyber attack, and our secrets are being stolen. 0
907 HOLT So my question is, who's behind it? 0
908 HOLT And how do we fight it? 0
909 HOLT Secretary Clinton, this answer goes to you. 0
910 CLINTON Well, I think cyber security, cyber warfare will be one of the biggest challenges facing the next president, because clearly we're facing at this point two different kinds of adversaries. 0
911 CLINTON There are the independent hacking groups that do it mostly for commercial reasons to try to steal information that they can use to make money. 0
912 CLINTON But increasingly, we are seeing cyber attacks coming from states, organs of states. 0
913 CLINTON The most recent and troubling of these has been Russia. 0
914 CLINTON There's no doubt now that Russia has used cyber attacks against all kinds of organizations in our country, and I am deeply concerned about this. 0
915 CLINTON I know Donald's very praiseworthy of Vladimir Putin, but Putin is playing a really... 0
916 SYSTEM (CROSSTALK) 0
917 CLINTON tough, long game here. 0
918 CLINTON And one of the things he's done is to let loose cyber attackers to hack into government files, to hack into personal files, hack into the Democratic National Committee. 0
919 CLINTON And we recently have learned that, you know, that this is one of their preferred methods of trying to wreak havoc and collect information. 0
920 CLINTON We need to make it very clear -- whether it's Russia, China, Iran or anybody else -- the United States has much greater capacity. 0
921 CLINTON And we are not going to sit idly by and permit state actors to go after our information, our private-sector information or our public-sector information. 0
922 CLINTON And we're going to have to make it clear that we don't want to use the kinds of tools that we have. 0
923 CLINTON We don't want to engage in a different kind of warfare. 0
924 CLINTON But we will defend the citizens of this country. 0
925 CLINTON And the Russians need to understand that. 0
926 CLINTON I think they've been treating it as almost a probing, how far would we go, how much would we do. 0
927 CLINTON And that's why I was so -- I was so shocked when Donald publicly invited Putin to hack into Americans. 1
928 CLINTON That is just unacceptable. 0
929 CLINTON It's one of the reasons why 50 national security officials who served in Republican information -- in administrations... 0
930 HOLT Your two minutes have expired. 0
931 CLINTON have said that Donald is unfit to be the commander- in-chief. 0
932 CLINTON It's comments like that that really worry people who understand the threats that we face. 0
933 HOLT Mr. Trump, you have two minutes and the same question. 0
934 HOLT Who's behind it? 0
935 HOLT And how do we fight it? 0
936 TRUMP I do want to say that I was just endorsed -- and more are coming next week -- it will be over 200 admirals, many of them here -- admirals and generals endorsed me to lead this country. 0
937 TRUMP That just happened, and many more are coming. 0
938 TRUMP And I'm very proud of it. 0
939 TRUMP In addition, I was just endorsed by ICE. 0
940 TRUMP They've never endorsed anybody before on immigration. 0
941 TRUMP I was just endorsed by ICE. 0
942 TRUMP I was just recently endorsed -- 16,500 Border Patrol agents. 0
943 TRUMP So when Secretary Clinton talks about this, I mean, I'll take the admirals and I'll take the generals any day over the political hacks that I see that have led our country so brilliantly over the last 10 years with their knowledge. 0
944 TRUMP OK? 0
945 TRUMP Because look at the mess that we're in. 0
946 TRUMP Look at the mess that we're in. 0
947 TRUMP As far as the cyber, I agree to parts of what Secretary Clinton said. 0
948 TRUMP We should be better than anybody else, and perhaps we're not. 0
949 TRUMP I don't think anybody knows it was Russia that broke into the DNC. 0
950 TRUMP She's saying Russia, Russia, Russia, but I don't -- maybe it was. 0
951 TRUMP I mean, it could be Russia, but it could also be China. 0
952 TRUMP It could also be lots of other people. 0
953 TRUMP It also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds, OK? 0
954 TRUMP You don't know who broke in to DNC. 0
955 TRUMP But what did we learn with DNC? 0
956 TRUMP We learned that Bernie Sanders was taken advantage of by your people, by Debbie Wasserman Schultz. 0
957 TRUMP Look what happened to her. 0
958 TRUMP But Bernie Sanders was taken advantage of. 0
959 TRUMP That's what we learned. 0
960 TRUMP Now, whether that was Russia, whether that was China, whether it was another country, we don't know, because the truth is, under President Obama we've lost control of things that we used to have control over. 0
961 TRUMP We came in with the Internet, we came up with the Internet, and I think Secretary Clinton and myself would agree very much, when you look at what ISIS is doing with the Internet, they're beating us at our own game. 0
962 TRUMP ISIS. 0
963 TRUMP So we have to get very, very tough on cyber and cyber warfare. 0
964 TRUMP It is -- it is a huge problem. 0
965 TRUMP I have a son. 0
966 TRUMP He's 10 years old. 0
967 TRUMP He has computers. 0
968 TRUMP He is so good with these computers, it's unbelievable. 0
969 TRUMP The security aspect of cyber is very, very tough. 0
970 TRUMP And maybe it's hardly doable. 0
971 TRUMP But I will say, we are not doing the job we should be doing. 0
972 TRUMP But that's true throughout our whole governmental society. 0
973 TRUMP We have so many things that we have to do better, Lester, and certainly cyber is one of them. 0
974 HOLT Secretary Clinton? 0
975 CLINTON Well, I think there are a number of issues that we should be addressing. 0
976 CLINTON I have put forth a plan to defeat ISIS. 0
977 CLINTON It does involve going after them online. 0
978 CLINTON I think we need to do much more with our tech companies to prevent ISIS and their operatives from being able to use the Internet to radicalize, even direct people in our country and Europe and elsewhere. 0
979 CLINTON But we also have to intensify our air strikes against ISIS and eventually support our Arab and Kurdish partners to be able to actually take out ISIS in Raqqa, end their claim of being a Caliphate. 0
980 CLINTON We're making progress. 0
981 CLINTON Our military is assisting in Iraq. 0
982 CLINTON And we're hoping that within the year we'll be able to push ISIS out of Iraq and then, you know, really squeeze them in Syria. 0
983 CLINTON But we have to be cognizant of the fact that they've had foreign fighters coming to volunteer for them, foreign money, foreign weapons, so we have to make this the top priority. 0
984 CLINTON And I would also do everything possible to take out their leadership. 0
985 CLINTON I was involved in a number of efforts to take out Al Qaida leadership when I was secretary of state, including, of course, taking out bin Laden. 0
986 CLINTON And I think we need to go after Baghdadi, as well, make that one of our organizing principles. 0
987 CLINTON Because we've got to defeat ISIS, and we've got to do everything we can to disrupt their propaganda efforts online. 0
988 HOLT You mention ISIS, and we think of ISIS certainly as over there, but there are American citizens who have been inspired to commit acts of terror on American soil, the latest incident, of course, the bombings we just saw in New York and New Jersey, the knife attack at a mall in Minnesota, in the last year, deadly attacks in San Bernardino and Orlando. 0
989 HOLT I'll ask this to both of you. 0
990 HOLT Tell us specifically how you would prevent homegrown attacks by American citizens, Mr. Trump? 0
991 TRUMP Well, first I have to say one thing, very important. 0
992 TRUMP Secretary Clinton is talking about taking out ISIS. 0
993 TRUMP We will take out ISIS. 0
994 TRUMP Well, President Obama and Secretary Clinton created a vacuum the way they got out of Iraq, because they got out -- what, they shouldn't have been in, but once they got in, the way they got out was a disaster. 0
995 TRUMP And ISIS was formed. 0
996 TRUMP So she talks about taking them out. 0
997 TRUMP She's been doing it a long time. 0
998 TRUMP She's been trying to take them out for a long time. 0
999 TRUMP But they wouldn't have even been formed if they left some troops behind, like 10,000 or maybe something more than that. 0
1000 TRUMP And then you wouldn't have had them. 0
