Best locations in manhattan. Trump tower, 57th and fifth. That is what i do whatever it is. Whatever kind of a brain that is will be used to making our country rich again, trade deals. Great trade deals. Making our country rich. And then making it great. We cannot make it great unless we make it we need the money. We of 19 trillion. My whole focus will be this country and making it great. Will you spend a billion dollars 1 billion on election . Trump i would if i had to. [indiscernible] trump yes, i do. I have exceptions and ive been open about that. What is the biggest challenge your campaign faces going into the fall . Have you made any mistakes so far . Trump i dont think i have made mistakes. They do the polls in my never go up. When i said mexico, i was talking about illegal immigration. The people understood it even though the press did not want them to. When i talk about john mccain i was saying how bad he treated veterans. They are treated badly. Than they do a poll. Mccain or trump . And i swap them in the polls. The veterans like me better because they know i will take care of them. After 30 years he is not taking care of them. And this last thing with fox. All you have to do is ask roger who won. I do not think i have made any mistakes. Im sure i will at some point, but so far you have to say as a work of badly . Right. Reported is not want to give me an answer. Your wife is the possible first lady . They are not doing it to any other candidate. Trump did you run a profile . That will not happen. She is fantastic. What kind of things will you do differently for this country . Trump almost everything. What things in my candidate different for this country . Almost everything, because that is what has to happen. Everything we do is wrong. The military, we are not taking care of the military or our vets. We are not taking care of our country, our finances. Were not taking care of our trade deals. When was the last time you saw this country have a victory . We do not have victories. We do not have victories against china in trade. China just devalued their currency. That is the sucking sound. That means jobs and money coming out of our country. What they did with that evaluation, the biggest devaluation that had into decades, they are killing us. They will not be doing it when i am watching. I think our people have no idea what is happening. Do you agree with me . Does everybody agree with me . Yeah trump lets give them a helicopter ride. Come on, it was going first . Where are your parents . Kids, get all lined up. [indiscernible] trump lets get a picture of everybody. Get in the picture. Everybody back. [indiscernible] democratic president ial candidate Hillary Clinton attended the iowa state fair alongside former iowa senator, tom harkin. They spoke with the media before greeting local residents. I noticed that last night in the speech, you joked about. Napshot snapchat do you think this is a laughing matter . Do you take any responsibility for this investigation that is going on now . Clinton first, i have said that i used a single account for convenience. Years later, it doesnt look so convenient. The facts are the same as they have been from the very these questions being raised. Most importantly, i never sent classified material on my email, and i never received any that was marked classified. I am going to let whatever inquiry go forward and will. Wait the outcome of it it will probably confirm what i just said to you. Look at think, if you the republicans in congress and running for president , there is an unfortunate tendency to try g ke partisan a trotta tragedy in benghazi. I dont bigots right and i will not participate. We will see how this all plays out. Its not anything that people ilk to me a route about as travel the country. It is never raised in my other meetings of people. I think people are interested in what mr. Harkin just said. He will get the economy moving. Refinance people who are in debt. Open up the workforce for women, people with disabilities so they can make their contribution, be treated fairly, and so much more. A few democrats i have spoken to have said they are worried. Clinton this is the usual partisan as asian partisan ization, i think i just made up a word. I think people in iowa are going to want to vote for somebody they believe will deliver deliver results for them. I have a very strong case to make on that. [indiscernible] mrs. Clinton can you repeat that . [indiscernible] mr. Harkin i dont know anything about timing. I spent the entire month of july 25thon the 24th anniversary. That occupied a lot of my time. What better time than the iowa state fair . Are you saying the intelligence review and department of justice are partisan review . Inton this is not about me, they have confirmed that. There are disputes going on among agencies about what should have, could have, would have been done years ago. At that is something for them to work out. I did not send nor did i receive material marked as classified. Jeb bush has criticized you and president obama push isis. S about the rise of do you think the Administration Needs to do more . Mrs. Nton i thought find it curious that jeb bush is doubling down on defending his brothers actions in iraq. The entire picture includes the agreement that george w. Bush iraqwith the government in that said the end of 2011 was the day to withdraw american troops. That was done under george w. Bush. I can only wonder whether he either did not know that or thought that other people would not be reminded of that. To make whatever case he wishes on behalf of his own family, there is clearly a very between the agreement george w. Bush signed and the efforts that the Obama Administration made, of which i was a part, to persuade the Iraqi Government to admit continued American Forests for iraqi armies forces. They did not want a continued american presence. I think that what is being done is verypect to isis significant in terms of support that the United States is now providing to the iraqi armies to retrain because that is what the government did to start to erode the abilities. Try to get the sunnis back into the fight against isis. Iraqiledo be an mission. Like anybody who has followed ,he terrific, barb horrific barbaric behavior by isis, i am very committed to supporting the efforts within the region to try poseke on the threats they to everyone, but particularly to women and especially women of certain religious backgrounds. Is so deeply that depressing to read about what is going on there. I think we have to do more and i hope we will do more to try to to the whole region together drive isis out of the territory they occupied to rescue the people they have enslaved, predominantly women. Ishink that president obama doing what he can to try to bring that about. Thank you. Quick question. How do you assess the 2015 republican field. Did you ever expect to see donald trump on top of the list . They are trying to appeal to it tends to be more divisive. Two separate people more than ever. I hope more moderate voices will come to the forefront. You were going to essendon and then we have to go. You are about to go on some vacation time. Is there one thing you feel could make a stronger candidate . What is the biggest mistake you have made . Ms. Clinton i am just having a good time. Months intofour this. I feel positive about the organization. Is a continuing conversation with the American People. I am learning a lot about it. Let me give you an example of why i find this so personally rewarding. Debuque, a woman said she was there because when i talked to Mental Health. The reason i talked about it is because people in iowa talk to me about it. I want to have this continuing conversation and i will fight as hard as i can to earn every vote. Let me just also say, as a longtime iowa politician, [indiscernible] i just want to say this. Hillary is doing everything she can. The organization is strong. She is touching on are reaching people in the state of iowa. A much better and more personally involved campaign than in 2008. She just needs to come out and meet iowans and the rest will fall into place. That is why i believe in the caucuses hillary will come out ahead. Have you had any conversations with joe biden .

Ms. Clinton thanks a lot. Hi, how are you doing. Went to get a picture really quick . Right here, guys. Hillary. How are you . [indiscernible] republican president ial candidate Rick Santorum was among those who took part in the Des Moines Register event. Each candidate gets up to 20 minutes to speak. His remarks were followed by former governor Lincoln Chafee and Bernie Sanders. Book of the face off grid the next speaker is former senator Rick Santorum who is running for the republican nomination for the presidency. Mr. Santorum was first elected to the house of representatives from pens of in two terms in the senate. The winner of the Iowa Republican caucuses. Welcome back to the soap box stage Rick Santorum. Mr. Santorum thank you. I apologize for being two minutes late but i came from a rally at the state capitol. To defund planned parenthood. I was proud to be the only president ial candidate up there talking about how we have to defund planned parenthood. Talking about the reality of what planned parenthood is doing. Videos, andat those i know this because i wrote the law. What they are doing and was described in the videos, partialbirth abortion. Those were done in this case to so theythe vital organs can harvest the babys organs for research and otherness various things. Other nefarious things. Planned parenthood is breaking the law. We need someone in washington who can get done. We have gotten things done. Partiald about the birth abortion statute. Important piece of legislation. Said. S. Supreme court banning partialbirth abortion was unconstitutional. Most people when they have a Court Decision that is against what they believe, they do what most republican candidates do. It is the law of the land and time to move on. When the Supreme Court ask unconstitutionally, the last thing we need to do is move on. We need to stand up and fight. I did. That went to the Supreme Court. Out chapter and verse why the court was wrong. Every branch of government, when itook my oath of office, pledged to uphold the constitution of the u. S. Every president , every branch of government has a responsibility to do it right. When the Supreme Court gets it wrong, it is incumbent on the president and congress to get it right. Im nearly person in the race who has done it. The Supreme Court backed down and that is why partialbirth is illegal today. [applause] mr. Santorum we need leadership on other issues. We are at a point in time in our country where four years ago when i was standing on this stage, we see what is happening around the world. Threats are rising against america, not just from iran but from china and russia and even from central and south america. This president has turned a blind eye, he has deliberately empowered the enemy. He has empowered russia by not holding up to her treaties with ukraine. He has empowered syria. He has empowered iran. He has empowered isis. He has empowered china. Every step of the way, he has been soft with our enemies and very harsh to our allies. We need a leader who will stand for the principles of our government and for our own national security. Not to placate our enemies. To stand with our allies to make sure that our interests are defended. There is nobody in this race has the record that i do on national security. Just about three months ago, isis published a magazine and it comes out on a monthly basis, i am told. Three months ago, my picture was in their magazine. And it was under the headline, in the words of our enemy. It was my picture underneath that. I laid out who they are. And i have put it out very clearly as i have in speeches why and how isis can be defeated. I was put on an isis enemy list. Es and in the men, gentlemen, there is nobody else in this race is on that list and unfortunately, neither is Hillary Clinton. Why am i on that list . Because after 9 11, i have spent the time needed to understand. Toctions that wrought iran the bargaining table. I was the author of those laws sanctions 10 years ago. And you know who fought against me . Joe biden, Hillary Clinton, barack obama. We won. We need a leader who can do, who is going to stand up to defeat isis. Not to contain them. Empower isis to recruit people here in america as well as around the world. We must take back their land, we must destroy their states. If we do not, the incidences that you are hearing about, they will accelerate. They are accelerating. We have not taken the threat seriously. I will take the threat seriously. I will make sure that isis isnt spending their money on new weapons, they are spending their money on body bags, because that is what will happen if you elect me as president. I will defeat isis. [applause] gov. Santorum you need a leader who is going to stand up for the men and women in this country who have been left behind. I know for a fact before from western pennsylvania. The reason i did is because we have seen a continuation for the state of living for the people of america. Sometimes, unless they have an accurate description of the problem, they dont have an accurate conclusion. But that doesnt mean that they arent observing what israel. What is real is a that americans are losing hope. Wages are flat. There are 93 million americans were no longer in the workplace. I will ensure that people have employment and that they will not sit on the sidelines because there is no hope that they cannot come back into the workforce. The democrats response is the same. Give you more money and we will stop pay for medicaid and all of these things. You dont want more government handouts. You want the opportunity to be able to rise to work and provide for yourself and your family, and unfortunately, the Republican Party has been sort of empty in that regard. We talk about Capital Gains and we talk about cutting taxes, but i have a 20 20 vision for america. It is about flat tax of income and corporate income. [applause] gov. Santorum we are going to change the Internal Revenue code and make change and give americans a fair shot. [applause] i will be able to lead and get things done because i have a track record for that
