His story. His teacher told me that this former student was funny, enthusiastic and patriotic. He played the drums in the school marching band. After graduation, he proudly enlisted in the u. S. Army. Before shipping off to iraq, he stopped by the school so everyone could see him in his uniform. He was, as respectful and optimistic as any student who entered my classroom, said the teacher. He was also a dreamer. Brush your as an undocumented child brought here as an document the target he loved america. He hopes one day to earn his citizenship. In april, 2007, while on a mission in baghdad, he was killed by improvised explosive device. He was just 19. The army called him a hero and he was posthumously granted the american citizenship hed always wanted. [applause] his teacher still treasures his memory. This teacher wanted me to know, he wanted me to know that despite what donald trump may say, immigrants are not rapists and criminals. The truth is [cheers] this young man and not have been born here, but he represented the best values of our country. [cheers] we teach our children that america is one nation, under god, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Not just for people who look a certain way or worship a certain way, for all. Everywhere i go, people tell me how concerned they are by the extreme policies and divisive rhetoric theyve heard from my opponent. The racist lie about mexican immigrants that launched his president ial campaign. His racist attacks on a federal judge. Every time we think he has hit rock bottom, he sings even lower. His target, a minister in flint, michigan who respectfully asked him not to use her pulpit for political attacks. He called her a nervous mess. How insulting. How dead wrong. She is not a nervous mess. She is a rock for her. Community. She deserves better and so does america. [applause] again, today, he did it. He was asked, one more time, where was president obama born . And he still would not say hawaii. He still would not say america. This man wants to be our next president. When will he stop this ugliness . He has tried to reset himself and his Campaign Many times. This is the best he can do. This is who he is. We need to decide who we are. If we just sigh and shake our heads and accept this, then what does that tell our kids about who we are . We need to stand up and repudiate this divisive rhetoric, we need to stop him conclusively in november in an election that sends a message that even he can hear. We need to set the kind of example we want for ourselves and children and grandchildren. Parents and teachers are already worried about what they are calling the trump affect. Bullying and harassment are on the rise in our schools. Especially targeting students of color, muslims and immigrants. At a High School Basketball game, white students held up trumps signs and taunted latino players on the opposing team with chants of build the wall and speak english. Donald trump is running the most Divisive Campaign of our lifetime. His message is that you should be afraid. Afraid of people whose race or ethnicity is different or whose religious faith is different or who were born in a different country. There is no innuendo. It is all right out there in the open. We have got to come back twice as strong and twice as clear. Just this week, and mother in florida wrote to me about her 11yearold son, francisco. He is proud to be american, ecuadorian and puerto rican. [cheers] as he calls it, a potluck of hispanic heritage. Francisco has been following the selection are closely. This election very closely. He wears his love trump hate pain every day and refuses to take it off. When his father warned him that that might make him a target for bullies, francisco looked his father in the eye and said, i was always told to stand up for myself and what i believe in. I believe trump is wrong. Good for you, francisco. That is what we have to do in the selection. [applause] that is what so many of you have done already. Stand up to the bowling and bigotry wherever it comes from. We must send a resounding message and we need to inspire a level of turnout that will help us win up and down the ticket. We set an ambitious goal of registering and committing 3 Million People to vote in this election that would not have otherwise voted. We cant do it without you. Nearly half of latinos in america are under 35 and we need you to show up and make your voices heard in this election. [applause] we are going to keep asking for your help. Keep hitting the campaign trail. Please come and talk to your friends, your neighbors, the community. Everyone you see between now and november 8. Tell them to go to Hillary Clinton. Com or text join to 47246. This election is too important for anyone to sit on the sidelines as we have heard from congresswoman sanchez.

Frontpage in todays New Hampshire union leader, Available Online at union leader. Com, and editorial. Joe mcquaid says a better choice for president and no need to hold your nose. The publisher is joining us from manchester. Thank you for being with us. Thank you. Why gary johnson . We think that he and bill weld, the former governor from massachusetts, have a lot to offer and would under any circumstances, but in this crazy year, with the two major party candidates, they look like a ray of hope in the darkness. I mentioned hold your nose. A reference to it editorial in 1972 by your predecessor, the late william love. He was astonished that Richard Nixon had made this detente with red china. He did not think it was going to be good for the United States and im not sure he was not right. With watergate, no one knew the extent of it at the time. Nixon is up on it was George George mcgovern to was to the left of ed muskie in terms of retreating from vietnam. The advice on the front page to readers was hold your nose and vote for nixon. I remind readers of that in the editorial today to say that there is no need to hold your nose. Johnson and weld are commendable ticket of two guys who have experience and success in running government and dealing across the aisle. The libertarians are on the ballot in all 50 states but have not reached the 15 benchmark to qualify in the first of what will be four president ial and Vice President ial debates. The first one is scheduled for a week from monday. That is as bad as last summer when the networks and the cables were determining who to invite to their debates and cspan was very nice to come up and cover our event with all 16 of the republican candidates, minus trump who decided not to show up. We did not think then and we dont think now that some of these arbitrary decisions about who gets in and who gets out are the right ones for the country. Johnson and weld came in and talk to us about it and said that what the commission might do is have a lower percentage in the popular polls for the first debate and then see polls subsequent to that to see who gets in after that. Maybe 10 for the first go around moving up to 20 for subsequent debates. The tv loves the show and this would be quite the show between clinton and donald trump. It will be all smoke and hot air. Johnson, if he is given the chance to tell a National Audience that he and weld exist, they had the best chance since roosevelt in 1912 of actually making a dent in the popular vote. As you say, he is in all 50 states. I dont think anybody else has done that. They are going around the country. They both have bona fides and good records. They deserve to be on it. The way it looks now, a lot of americans are not going to hear of this good alternative. Voters are hearing from donald trump and Hillary Clinton. Let me ask you about both candidates. First, donald trump. How would you describe him . A blowhard who has no business running for president of the United States. Other than he has gotten a lot of free media and is going off of that. His record in business is very spotty. His statements as to his political beliefs have been all over the lot. They change from one day to the next. He is now out there embracing funded debt care day care and parental leave which would be anathema for republicans and most times. He thinks putin, the boss of russia, is a great guy who has the Popular Support of his country. He does not know what Nuclear Triad is. He makes fun of veterans and physically disabled people. Hes not a republican and he should not be president of the United States. And Hillary Clinton . Hillary clinton is a career politician who is the status quo. As we said, we think that donald trump is not that far from the status quo. Go along, build up the government, more and more expense. Shes an expert at that. She is clearly not telling the truth about a lot of things, including her own health and how she does the nations business on private email. She has gotten her job because of name recognition mostly from her husband and she ran and obama gave her the secretary of state job which she has not done a very good job of. Joe mcquade, publisher of the New Hampshire union leader in todays editorial is Available Online at union leader. Com. Always a pleasure. Thank you for being with us. Keep cspan running. Tomorrow on the road to the white house, donald trump will appear at his new hotel in washington dc. The trump international. It is just blocks from the white house. We will have that event for you live starting at 10 00 a. M. Eastern on cspan. Obama afternoon, michelle will stump for Hillary Clinton. In was facts will speak fairfax, virginia. That is at 3 00 p. M. Eastern. Donald trump and Vice President ial nominee outlined their economic plan today at the Economic Club of new york. This is about one hour and 15 minutes. Im the president of the Economic Club. The Economic Club of new york is the nations leading Nonpartisan Forum for speeches on economic social and political issues.

After the convention this summer, the Economic Club with the support of its board of directors extended an invitation to both of the candidates to come to the club and present their economic platform. This afternoon, we are honored to be able to welcome our guest speaker, donald j. Trump, the republican president ial nominee. [applause] im delighted to say that to introduce mr. Trump today, we are pleased to welcome indiana governor and as president ial candidate mike pence. [applause] governor, the podium is years tonight. Yours tonight. [applause] thank you. Thank you to members of the board. Honored guests, fellows at the head table, it is a great honor for this small town boy to be in the big apple. [applause] and to introduce today the next president of the United States of america. [applause] it is an honor for me to be here as Economic Club of new york, a historic and historic place. A place where men and women who drive this great city and much of the dynamic American Economy over the decades of our nations history. Each one of you makes next an extraordinary difference and im honored to be before you today. It is also great to be back in new york city. Ive been on the campaign trail for the last couple of months. This is my first time back since i accepted my running mate invitation to run. And serve as the next Vice President of the United States of america. [applause] i was humbled to accept the invitation. With my wife at my side. I did it in a heart the because heartbeat because our party has nominated a man who is the embodiment of this great city and nation. He is a builder, a dreamer and i believe when he becomes president , he will make America Great again. [applause] we find ourselves on this day in the middle of september, 2016 in the midst of the weakest economic recovery since the great recession. The republican nominee for president will do what so many other american leaders have done from the very fun of him podium. He will take this moment to outline a new economic vision, a vision to make this country great and strong and prosperous. It is my privilege to introduce him today. You all know him well. Ive just gotten to know him over the last few months. Someone walked up to me the other day and said, i have not donald trump for the last 30 years and i really like it. I told him, ive known him for the last 120 days and i like him. This is a good man who loves his family and loved this country and he will be a great president of the United States. [applause] we have become fast friends. For all the world, it seems like i have known him all my life. Like so many other builders and entrepreneurs, he is a dreamer and driver. He is a man who speaks his mind. I have to tell you, that you may not know is that clear eyed vision and leadership is literally inspiring and it has inspired a movement of people all across this country. I was in scranton, pennsylvania last night. He was in ohio. Everywhere i go campaigning with donald trump i see firsthand that he has given voice to the aspirations and frustrations of the American People like no other president in my lifetime since ronald reagan. The key is that donald trump has never forgotten the men and women who built this country. Men and women who work with their hands and grow our food, build our roads and protect our families. They know it. This is a challenging time. The truth of the matter is i stand before you today that only are we in the midst of the weakest economic recovery since the great depression, we also have an economy that only grew by 1. 1 . We have the lowest Labor Participation rate since the 1970s. Most heartbreaking of all from 7. 5 years ago to today, there is , nearly 700 million more americans living americans living 7 million more americans living in poverty than 2009. This reminds many of us of the as now, we had one candidate who 1970s. Spoke of a National Malaise and accepting the status quo. Then there was another candidate who spoke with confidence of a boundless american future and the American People chose that optimistic future. I believe they will again. [applause] the other party tells us this is the best we can do. But the American People know better. It is nowhere near the best that we can do. It is just the best they can do. When donald trump becomes president of the United States of america, were going to get this economy moving again for every city and every town and every state in the nation. [applause] today, we will hear donald trump again described the vision that will unleash the boundless potential of the American Economy. The American Economy that will be driven by empowering working families and businesses large and small. Encouraging entrepreneurs to invest, build and produce right here in america again. Let me say that it is a joy for me. It is a privilege for me. It is also a distinct honor to introduce to you the next resident of the United States president of the U
