It examines the private life of the women who fill the position of first lady and their influence on the presidency. Sundays at 8 00 eastern on cspan three. Today Hillary Clinton held a press conference with orders in iowa following her remarks at a Community College in des moines. This is 15 minutes. I have been asked to open this up. Im happy to do that. We appreciate hillary coming to iowa to this venue to underscore the importance of rural communities. What she outlined is a bold and comprehensive effort to revitalize and renew the economy important to this country. Her strong support for the renewable fuel standard as well as the biobased economy which has enormous potential for job creation is going to play well throughout the rule parts of the country. Mrs. Clinton i want to reiterate my appreciation to tom for his endorsement and being here today, but for his leadership on many of the issues i spoke about. I remember coming here when you were governor and talking to you. You were talking to me about wind power and showing me the first windmills going up and how you had focused on the state government, and the businesses of iowa to see the Economic Opportunities as well as the clean renewable energy. Leadership matters. Leadership that produces results and that has a vision, and the follow to realize the vision. Pleasurereat personal to be here with tom but it is a professional one because the leadership he provided on the issues i was talking about in my agenda. Thank you very much. I think we are to take some questions. Hello kathy. Reporter [inaudible] mrs. Clinton you are right. Trade is essential for american agriculture. No place knows that better than iowa. In the overview that i gave, my proposal, i said that we need trade. We need trade that needs the three criteria i have laid out. Protect american jobs, it grows the economy, and it advances our national security. That is why im focused on looking for how we make trade work for all aspects of our economy. I am well aware of how critical trade is for american agriculture. I will do everything i can to make sure regardless of what trade agreements we have, American Farmers get a good shot at new markets and new opportunities. I think we will have some ways of doing that. In my longer description of these policies you can see more about what i mean. How are you joe . I have not seen you for a while. Reporter [inaudible] mrs. Clinton let me start by saying Vice President biden is a friend of mine. We were colleagues in the senate. I worked with him as first lady. I worked with him in president obamas first term. I had a great deal of admiration and of action for him. I think he has to make what is a very difficult decision for himself and his family. He should have the space and the opportunity to decide what he wants to do. Im going to be running for president regardless, and continuing to put forth my policies. I was proud to be a member of president obamas cabinet. I also have ideas where i want to go not just build on what was done but go beyond. I will be laying that out. I always thought this would be a competitive campaign. I dont think anybody should. Ave not otherwise im going to run as hard as i can to convince as many people as possible to support me and earn all the votes i can in the caucuses and primaries. I have seen no evidence of that but we would have to wait and see what happens if you decided to do it. Im going to keep running my campaign and doing what i believe is necessary to make the case to the American People. Reporter [inaudible] mrs. Clinton i know people have raised questions about my email use as secretary of state and understand why. I get it. Here is what i want the American People to know. My use of personal email was allowed by the state department. It clearly wasnt the best choice. I should have used to emails,. Ne personal, one for work i take responsibility for that decision. I want to be as transparent as possible, which is why i turned over 55,000 pages, why i turned over my server. Why i have agreed to and been to testify in october. Im confident this process will prove i never sent nor received any email that was marked classified area im going to keep talking about what the American People talk to me about. And to lay out my plans for what i would do as president to make the economy were, to make college affordable, to get the cost of drugs down, and get equal pay for women, and the issues that are at the core of the president ial campaign. Have there been any munications between you filling you in at all . Mrs. Clinton im not going to answer that. The Vice President to decide to do what is right for him and his family. Beont think it is useful to behind the scenes asking this or saying that. I just want him to reach whatever he thinks the right decision is. He has to do that. It has to be a really hard one. I was at his sons funeral. I cannot imagine the grief and the heartbreak. Terrible events than most people can even contemplate. Losing his first wife, his first daughter. Now losing his son. He has to do what he has to do. Im going to continue with my campaign and do what i believe i should be doing. He will have to decide what he should be doing. [inaudible] endorsement of secretary clinton, [inaudible] tom i tried today to explain to my friends and my neighbors in iowa why i am here today and endorsing my friend, Hillary Clinton. It is a personal decision and it is one that i didnt hesitate to make in 2008 and dont hesitate to make today. I know what kind of person she is. I know what kind of leader she would be. She would be an incredible president. I love joe biden like we all do. He is a wonderful man. Everything Hillary Clinton just said i would echo. They call is them campaigns for a reason. They are tough. They are hard. Choices are typical. But our friends and neighbors here need to know by think where i stand, where christie stands, ande stand behind hillary we will until the last dog dies. [laughter] [inaudible] i did not time this endorsement. This is something secretary clinton and i talked about some time ago candidly. I was on vacation. Hopefully you can see the proof of that. This is the opportunity. Mrs. Clinton thank you. Reporter anything about the shooting . Mrs. Clinton first of all. Stricken to think that these two young people doing the work that you guys do every day would be murdered on live television. Will extend my condolences and sympathy to their families and coworkers, and pray for the woman who left last i checked was still in goo critical condition. We have to do something about gun violence in america. I will take it on. Face are many people who it and know it, but then turn away because it is hard. It is a political, difficult issue. , believe we are smart enough compassionate enough to figure out how to balance the legitimate Second Amendment rights with preventive measures and control measures so that whatever motivated this murderer , who eventually took his own more we will not see death, needless, senseless death. I feel great heartache at what , and i want to reiterate how important it is we not let yet another terrible instance go by without trying to do something more to prevent iss incredible killing that stocking our country. Stalking our country. We have so many instances of it but it happens every day, intentional, unintentional, murderers, suicides. It happens every day. If guns were not so readily available, if we had it universal background checks, if we could put some timeout between the person who is upset because he wears fire or the domestic of use, or whatever motivation may be working on someone who does this, maybe we could prevent this kind of carnage. Addition toin expressing sympathy to those maybe for theted, media, public, elected officials , what it hopefully will finally take for us to act. Residents of new orleans reacting to the governments response to Hurricane Katrina. You can see this townhall meeting with Hurricane Katrina victims starting at 8 00 eastern. A will show you a cspan tour year after the hurricane struck. President obama will be in new orleans meeting with residents talk about the rebuilding. Live coverage of the remarks tomorrow afternoon starting at 5 00 eastern. Coming up, washington journal delving into the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Washington journal, friday morning starting at 7 00 eastern on cspan. Table deray mckesson, a Community Organizer and black lives matter activist. Guest i got a new car and drove nine hours, did not know anybody , post on facebook that im going to st. Louis and my friend connected me with somebody and i ended up in ferguson. I met a ton of people who have remained close to me and we did a lot because i did not have any friends or anybody to talk to about it. I have to tell somebody and twitter became my somebody. Host you have your phone with you. You became known by your twitter account. What was happening in ferguson. You stayed. You have taken this on. You were working as a school administered. Now, you are doing this fulltime. Guest i devoted my career to kids. I used to teach sixthgrade math. I then became a public administrator managing Human Capital work. And i got to st. Louis understood the killing of michael brown, its this thing like you have to be alive to learn. I worked to make sure kids have Great Teachers and the teachers are supportive. Some kids will never be in school tamir will never make it to high school. Mike never made it to college. You have to be a life to learn. Host why now . What is going on now in our country . Guest one year ago, people thought there was a crisis in st. Louis with regard to Police Violence. One year later, people understand its a crisis across the country. Only three states where the police have not killed someone. Police have killed 700 people in 2015 and people acknowledge this crisis and understand something has to change. This is a new company where there is a National Conversation about policing. Host what do you want . When comes to Police Reform in this movement, what is the goal . Guest we Just Launched something called Campaign Zero that is a 10 point plan to get to the end of Police Violence. We know there will not be one solution to get us to the end, it will be many thanks. Theres the idea of safety that has to change. We know the safety of communities is predicated on more than the presence of police. Safety is about strong schools, jobs, or kforce Development Workforce development. Host the website, joint joinign zero campaignzero. Org. Guest demand emerged in communities across the country. We looked at the best platforms put out by community organizations. We look at the 21st Century Task Force on policing. Some groups in new york city we looked at a host of other things. Work to make sure it was researchbased entry to this protest and making sure we have a holistic understanding of how to and Police Violence. Host how is your plan different than what the president wants to do with the 21st Century Task Force on policing . What are you not hearing from washington that is in your plan . Guest a couple of things. We are really focused on police union contracts. They build in mechanisms to ensure that Police Officers are not held accountable. Interesting examples like personal files are purged. Discipline can never stay permanently and an officers file. It would be purged on a tenure cycle. You look back and they could have a record of discipline but its been a purged. Officers can only be interviewed in one hour chunks or a total of four hours a day. We are trying to make sure we lift up the visibility on those issues so we can correct it. There is a different way to get the truth when it comes to officers. Officers are protected. You see things on light detector tests. Lie detector tests. For an officer to be subject to a lie detector test, the person accuses them and has to be subjected to a lie detector test. Host any other specific policy . Guest use of force should only be put in place where there is life. Nt risk of a loss of it should not be just based on a reasonable standard. The officer should only be able to use deadly force if a person is actually going to die. That is a much more progressive whimpered we are looking at training and saying there should be racial bias testing. The task force talks about training but does not go as far in these areas. Host what do you make of what youre hearing from the president ial candidates . Lets start with the democrat side. Bernie sanders, couple of his rallies have been interrupted by black lives matter activists. What do you make of what youre hearing from him . Guest what i see with the overall approach of the democratic candidates, people are challenging the integrity of the democratic process. Weple are pushing and saying should not have to protest to get our issues heard. Offcould have more to this by addressing issues before people confronted you. But sanders, we see a really strong first draft around racial justice. I think omalley has a really conference of plan that enters a comprehensive plan that answers a host of areas. Host have you met with Bernie Sanders yet . He tweeted that he would like to meet with you. Guest i have not yet met with him. He has met with protesters in other cities already. Many people should be engaging candidates during the process and i hope to engage him as well. Host you praise Martin Omalley but he came under fire forcing all lights matter. Thats all lives matter. Sayt weve heard Sanders White lights matter on npr. We heard hillary say all lives matter. Which is shocking because the movement has been moving prayer. For a year. Im hopeful that the platform will be there opportunity to show their listening to the movement. They are listening to the movement. , protesters matter would not be protesting. We would not have to call out the chance that black lives matter because we know it is not as true as it should be in this america. Host lets go to calls. Robert in henderson, kentucky. Independent. Good morning to you. Youre on the air with deray mckesson. Caller good morning. Im a Community Activist here in henderson, kentucky. Originally born and raised in los angeles, california. Ive experienced police brutality. Thank you for your service to the community. What can be done the politicians will not address this issue. None of the National Politicians are going to address this issue. Ministers are holding a meeting to commemorate the anniversary of the million man march. Is black lives matter participating in the event . What do you need to do to bring this to the forefront . Donald trump is not addressed it, Bernie Sanders has. Not. Clinton has the democratic and is have all expressed interest in addressing these issues. Candidates have all expressed interest in addressing these issues. The hillary platform has not yet. In terms of other people lying pressure, the rally many people will be a part of that in the movement and i think that will be a promising opportunity. Its important that people continue to apply pressure to all parts of government to make sure reforms come about. People have been asking for it because people understand the crisis and im hopeful we can continue and all the candidates will understand the gop we saw carson right black lives matter because he suggested this idea that exceptionalism is not justice. Got out of what he understands to be poverty, racism does not exist. He has not yet acknowledged the existence of systemic racism. That anger is distracting us from what matters most. The right to be angry, but we have to stay smart. Guest it is a wholesale willful ignorance he is not calling out systemic racism. He is saying injustice exists. We know injustice exists across racial lines. What carson does is wholesale ignore that. , racism doesnt exist anymore. We know exceptionalism is not justice. Host bill in arlington, texas. Independent. Caller thank you so much for taking my call. , a suggestion say we can see that there is random drug testing across the various disciplines that provide as an Airline Pilot or construction worker or even hospital employee. How is it the police are able to get away with it . Maybe that is something that could be considered. Thank you so much. Guest its interesting, when you look at the police contracts, there are some that say that officers cannot be drug tested. Some dont allow for psych evaluations. The officers can get a psych eval, but only if the union and the city agree on the person conducting the eval. The union could say we dont agree and they prevent that from happening. There should be Strong Language that ensures that officers are held accountable if they use drugs. It should be a part of the contracts and not just a part of city policy. In virginia. Is, i agreeomment with the black lives matter, that is a very, very good thing thats going on right now. We also have in poor communities theysmalltown cops are constantly harassing. The cameras on everything. When they do something, it can be shunned. My uncle years ago was killed by an officer in jail. Nothing was ever done. My father always told me come if you go to be pulled over, make e you get in a lighted somebodys driveway, whatever. It seems to me that they need to be tested frequently for psychiatric issues and we need more people of color in the forces. I am white, but i think we need more people of color and that is hispanic and all. To change these testings that they do for them to be Police Officers so that it can be more diverse. Host what is your stance on body cameras . Guest i believe people should have the right to fill the police. This film the police. The police are public service. Film ithould be able to to hold the police accountable. Even with cameras, people are not being held accountable. Imagine all the stuff we would know more about it people had the right to hold people accountable by filming. Host psychological testing for Police Officers . Guest there should be psych evals. Indication that the officers unfit for duty, the Police Department should have every right to send them for an evaluation that has them leave. Host what about having more africanamerican or latino Police Officers . In baltimore, some folks in baltimore were saying the black officers can be just as harsh. Guest its really question of what does it mean to engage in safety and communities that are baltimore, the majority of the officers dont live in the city. Thats what people are asking about. Violence is close to her, too. Its hitting communities across the country. People are having a National Conversation about it. We are not advocating adding more police. To useo figure out how the resources we have and have a more expensive understanding of safety. Host the washington journal last week, we spoke with offered durham. Alfred this is what he had to say about young people in your communications with Police Officers. [video clip] it seems to me the certain youth in the community, they have these rites of passage they have to be disrespectful to authority and adults credit that is creating problems and challenges. We are walking along a line of contempt. Kids are starting fights come using profanity. We wonder why they have problems with police. We are looking to create a workingdiversity to build those relationships and test lead them on the right path. The mothers have to be part of it, to o. The issues started home. Police are the face of government 20 47. 24 7. We are that body that when they make the call, they expect us to be there. When we try to build relationships, they dont want no part of it. It is challenging, but we are up to the task. Ignored the deep trauma that people have around the police for reasons that makes us. At a traffic stop in a traffic stop and the Police Officer approached my window with his gun drawn. I was maybe going five miles over the speed limit. He called the police the government. We think the police are the strong arm of government. The police are forcing their way into communities and lights and breaking those lines in ways that are unproductive. Hink about adolescence what he does in his talk, he says that challenging is criminalized. We have criminalized the challenging of authority. We should not. Buildpeful that he will systems that dont criminalize it. There are white young people across the country Challenging Authority and not ending up in programs or anybodys jail. That should be the same for kids of color as well. Host anne in new york. Republican. Caller i hardly know where to start. I think these black lives matter groups are so disruptive. The black lives matter, but i listen to ben carson, walter williams, david webb. I wished this young man would read some of their articles. All lives matter. Instead of playing the victims, this young man should go to chicago and help those people realize, yes, their lives matter , stop killing each other. That is my belief. Instead of disrupting people thosend go in and take women and bring them to places where these black lives matter being killed by black lives. Help them. That is my belief. Appreciate the lives of anyice and mike brown of the other people the police have kill. The protesters are not playing victim, they have been victims of Police Violence. Violencethe issue that runs across a spectrum. There are people working to end violence across a host of spaces. We are focused on this issue of Police Violence. You talk about this idea of black on black violence. We fix to make sure that institutions that create the conditions that create tension and communitys. No one is playing the victim emma people have been victims. I push you to read about the aarrien. Tamir and dairy host chris in charlotte, north carolina. Democrat. Caller i was going to ask the same thing as the previous color. Thats caller. Previous caller. I dont see anybody protesting the streets for the lives people of color. You took a defensive tone its not authority were pushing. You are breaking the law. When you break the law, there is a criminal offense that you have broken. Criminal offense comes with a consequence. If you dont like the law, you need to vote for people that will change the law. Not demonstrate against police protecting the communities against people killing each other. Guest tamir rice did not break a lot. When i think about the victims of Police Violence, these are not people who broke laws. They were black in america and they were victims of Police Violence. Im willing to have a conversation, but i also want to talk about the facts. When you say people broke the law, that is simply not true. I push you to do more homework before you make accusations. Host talk about the evidence. Talk about the facts a little bit more. 21styou look at what the Police Task Force commissioned it, when you look at what you will have put together, what have you found about people getting pulled over . You look at the report about the ferguson Police Department which shows a disproportionate policing of black people. That was important for people to see because weve been telling the truth about police all our lives. The truth is becoming mainstream because of social media. The doj report productively highlights the over policing up like communitys. That is a pet or have seen play out across the country. In cleveland where they killed tamir rice, we have seen that play out. We will have been telling the truth about police find their entire lives. People should be alive. Tamir rice did not have to die. He had a toy gun. Jones was asleep in her grandmothers lap. There are so many people whove been victims of Police Violence the Police Officers are never held accountable. There been few officers who have experienced any type of accountability. That is also a problem. Engage,vate citizens there is an apparatus to hold them accountable aggressively. We dont see a somewhat of that with police. Host talk about the black lives matter movement. How is it conducted peaceful or otherwise . What are you working to do during this Campaign Cycle . Guest the beauty of the movement is that it started with people coming out of their homes and saying enough is enough. That was in the streets of ferguson and 70 people joined in. So many people joined in. I of st. Louis as the heartbeat of the movement. Police in st. Louis have killed nine people since august, paralyzed two. The trauma there is different than most places. One year ago its been a year of exposing violence. In the next base, is helping people understand what winning looks like. We have done a good job of exposing. Its challenging this idea of safety. The safety of communities is about more than policing. Its a much more expensive notion than the presence of police. You have been at the forefront of this but you dont want to be called the leader of it. Why . There are so many people who have been leading and continue to lead. Im proud to stand with all of them. The beauty of the movement is that people have seen the scale and have emerged when the cause has been there. We saw that across the country, saw it into his. Saw it in st. Louis. Peoplest one of many committed to this issue and who want to fight to make sure that the Police Office does not impact any more people. T is a movement a broadbased coalition of people across the country. We would do a disservice to the spirit of the movement caller good morning. Three questions. Would you name the three states where police have not killed people . Have you taken a look at the number of stop and frisks that have been when Martin Omalley was mayor of baltimore . What is your opinion of people for giving an assailant before the assailant has apologized . The threeterms of states come i believe its vermont, maine and one of the dakotas. Mike. Com did the map about it. Omalley im not endorsing any candidate. Heeys platform is on has to help us understand how this regressive platform reconciles with his time as mayor. Explain to help people people understand his legacy to be one that created the conditions for over policing. He has to combat area. Combat that narrative. Question peoples relationship to their faith and their got. For so many people, forgiveness is an issue of faith. I understand why people forget theassailant even when assailant has not asked for forgiveness because part of it is helping people process and make sure that he doesnt eat when hank doesnt even that hate doesnt eat away at them. Host rhode island, south dakota and vermont. We will move on. William in germantown, maryland. I was addressing the issue of black lives matter and black livess to matter. All lives matter come ultimately. People need to go ahead and stand up to their own responsibilitie for themselves. Ing needs to be changed. Things need to be structured tore police dont have pursue assailants are criminals or criminals. People are being abused by the that they doings i dont understand at all. People shouldnt kill people. Guest we believe that. Understanding Police Violence is one part of a broader conversation about criminal justice. Its an interest because it is what started the movement. Something we know we can and. We can end. There are many other components. The police should not kill people. Host don is next. Republican. Caller were you one of the 8 Million People who saw the peggy covert vid video . Do you agree were you raised by a mom and a dad . Do you think that is important . Are you intentionally making i walk around the campus and i seem to have a black lives matter on the floor before the cafeteria. Are you trying to make movement into a kkk copy so you can get the reparations you are seeking . Guest interesting question. I have not seen the video that has been circulating. It is something about what has been termed a black on black crime there are many people working to stop violence across spectrums, including violence by private citizens to each other. There are some people working to make sure the state is not the apparatus killing you. Thate from a loving family continues to love me and that is true for so many people. Im proud to be best to have a family im proud to have a family and a sister who is really strong. The love does help people grow and support them. The interesting person to the kkk the kkk is a hate group that is clear about the role, not supporting any idea of Racial Equity or justice. In terms of black lives matter , i was in the movement is not racist. Ins focused on Racial Equity a way the kkk has never been in american history. Was referringer to this video on fox news path website. Grandmother tears into black lives matter. How about black brutality . I want to talk to you about the National Review and what they have to say. This is the headline with a picture of you on their website. How do you respond to the race baiting part of this and the comparison to reverend al sharpton . I went at the invitation of the charleston protesters. It was a dramatic time for the people of charleston and the people all across the country. I was proud to stand with them and respond to their requests. This language about race baiting is interesting. We are simply telling the truth about whats happening. The police are killing people. If that is what people call race baiting, that will have to be what it is. We are telling the truth about whats happening in the police are disproportionately killing black people we can live in a world where police dont kill people. There is a long legacy of people fighting for civil rights. This happened during the civil rights movement. We anticipate these mobs to come our way. I will never be afraid to tell the truth. Im accountable to the lives of mike brown and tamir. In the National Council and independent living on physician assisted suicide laws. Then the network history, funding, and mission.
