Union. And we certainly wouldnt be here without the bravery of the young men and women who have risked their very place in the United States by coming forward and fighting for their own future and the future of millions of others. They helped change the conversation. And when president obama created docca, it changed their lives. Right now, 750,000 undocumented young people in america are going to school, working and planning for their future. They are dreamers in much more than name. I have met so many. Ive listened to their stories. They have done everything we have asked of them and made our country stronger in return. So when donald trump promises to rip that all away on day one, when he promises to round up and deport all of the 16 Million People living and working among us, including american citizen children who were born here to parents who are undocumented, these are the faces i see. I picture astrid silva who i met in los angeles. Many of you know her story. She came to this country at the age of 4 from mexico with nothing but a doll, a cross and the dress she was wearing. Now shes in her 20s. Advocating for the rights of immigrants everywhere. I picture a young man i never met whose high schoolteacher wrote me a few months ago to share his story. His teacher told me that this former student was funny, enthusiastic and patriotic. He played the drums in the school marching band. And after graduation in 2005, proudly enlisted in the u. S. Army. Before shipping off to iraq, he stopped by the school so everyone could see him in his new uniform. He was his teacher wrote as respectful and optimistic as any student who ever entered my classroom. He was also a dreamer, brought here as an undocumented child. He loved america. And hoped one day to earn his citizenship. But in april 2007, while on a mission in baghdad, he was killed by an improvised explosive device. He was just 19. The army called him a hero, and he was granted the american citizenship he always wanted. All these years later his teacher still treasurers his memory. And 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 this young man may not have been born here, but he represented the best values of our country. We teach our children that america is one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Everywhere i go, people tell me how concerned they are by the extreme policies and divisive rhetoric they have heard from my opponent. The racist lie about mexican immigrants that launched his president ial campaign to his racist attacks on a federal judge. And every time we think he has hit rock bottom, he sinks even lower. His latest target, a minister in flint, michigan, who respectfully asked him not to use her pulpit for political attacks. He calls her a nervous mess. How insulting, how dead wrong. Reverent faith green timmons is not a nervous mess. Shes a rock for her community in trying times. And she deserves better and so does america. And again today, he did it again. He was asked one more time, where was president obama born . And he still wouldnt say hawaii. He still wont say america. This man wants to be our next president . When will he stop this ugliness, this bigotry . Now, he has tried to reset himself and his Campaign Many times. This is the best he can do. This is who he is. And so 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 our children and our 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 in indiana, white students held up trump 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, 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. Theres no innuendo or dog whistles anymore. Its all right out there in the open now. So we have got to come back twice as strong and twice as clear. Just this week, a mother in florida wrote to me about her 11yearold son, francisco. He is proud to be american, columbian, ecuadorian and puerto rican. As he calls it, a pot luck of hispanic heritage. Francisco has been following this election very closely, his mother told me. He wears his love trumps hate pin every day and refuses to take it off. When his father warned him that might make him a target for bullies, francisco looked his father in the eye and he said, i was always told to stand up for myself and what i believe in. And i believe trump is wrong. And good for you, francisco. Thats what we have to do in this election. And thats what so many of you are doing already, standing up to the bullying and bigotry wherever it comes from. Together, we must send this resounding message. We need to inspire a level of turnout that will help us win up and down the ticket. We have 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. So were going to keep asking for your help, keep hitting the campaign trail. Please, talk to your friends, your neighbors, your community, everyone you see between now and november 8. Tell them to go to hillaryclinton. Com to get involved. This election is too important for anyone to sit on the sidelines as we heard from congresswoman sanchez. So lets stand up for a future where we put families first, where we build bridges, not walls, and, yes, together, we can prove love trumps hate. Thank you all very much. Hillary clinton speaking live tonight at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus institute, the chci that you see on the graphic behind her. This is their annual gala dinner. Speaking to a big room of people at this event in d. C. A pretty boisterous room. A lot of people shouting out. A lot of applause, a lot of support for secretary clinton in this room. But also a lot of people doing not callin response. That was not the structure of the speech. Shouting out throughout the speech in a supportive and encouraging way to secretary clinton. Secretary clinton herself being a little selfdeprecating in those remarks about the fact she was following president obama. She said tonight in these remarks that he is a hard act to follow, in a lot of different ways. Its interesting. I have to tell you, we have a bunch of balls in the air in terms of whats going on in the news. Those speeches we were monitoring out of washington, d. C. Theres breaking political news tonight that unfolded while those speeches were happening, including this little bombshell that robert costa set off at the front page of the Washington Post. More on that in a second, including joy reed who i have asked to stick around even in addition to her other hosting duties, come talk to me about this. I think its potentially a very big story on two different levels. In terms of the setting here and what happened today, today was the day Hillary Clinton first got back on to the campaign trail. This was the candidates first personal appearances since she fell ill sunday. Shes had three days off at home resting. Shes back as of today. This image here is from her speech that she gave in North Carolina today. She walked out to the strains of i feel good. It was not very subtle. After her speech in North Carolina, she gave a press availability thereafter. Took a bunch of questions from the press corps following her travels on the campaign trail. You might remember before she got sick, before this weekend, Hillary Clinton had just started doing more and more of these press availabilities. The Trump Campaign and other people were criticizing her for not doing formal press conferences, for not generally taking questions from the press on a regular enough basis. They started having her do more press availabilities before she had that incident with her health this weekend. Now after her unplanned break from the campaign trail, they will stick to that schedule, stick to that plan of making her more available to reporters. Maybe even on a daily basis. Shes back on the campaign trail. We saw her in North Carolina. Then we saw that long press availability. After that this afternoon, Hillary Clinton and president obama both spoke tonight in the Congressional Hispanic Caucus institute. This is their big annual dinner in d. C. Its always a big deal in washington, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus institution is a big deal in Democratic Politics in particular. In terms of our national politics, these back to back speeches gave us a snapshot of what we are expecting to be a doubleheader from president obama and his wouldbe democratic success for the rest of this campaign. The Clinton Campaign and the white house have made clear this week that they are expecting president obama to be doing lots and lots and lots of Campaign Events for secretary clinton, maybe even so many Campaign Events that it will be unprecedented in terms of a serving president endorsing and working for his successor. The white houseing the prospect he may be on campaign trail for two days a week until the election, which i think we did a Little Research on it. We think that might be the most any sitting president has ever done for his wouldbe successor. We saw a snapshot of them tonight with their back to back speeches. It showed tonight with her remarks she seems to be doing just fine after her bought with pneumonia. Immigrants arent somehow changing the american character. Immigrants are the american character. Thats who we are. Thats the american i know. Thats the america i believe in more strongly than ever. So thank you for picking me up every step of the way. Thank you for making this country great. Weve got more work to do, but we will keep on making progress and create a Brighter Future for everybody in this country we love. When you hear a president ial candidate spewing bigotry and hate, its easy to get discouraged. But were here because we know this election is a choice between not just two people but two very different visions for americas future. Either were going to make our economy work for everyone or just those at the top. Either were going to fear our differences or embrace and celebrate our diversity. Either were going to pit americans against each other and deepen the divides or were going to be stronger together. Hillary clinton and barak obama both speaking tonight in washington. Theres a lot going on. Theres a lot of balls in the air right now. In addition to this full day back on the campaign trail for Hillary Clinton tonight, i should tell you that her husband, former president bill clinton, is due to appear on the daily show on Comedy Central tonight. We do not have a clip from that. We hope to get one during the course of this hour. I will give that clip to you. Will show it on tv if we do get in that clip tonight. On the other side of the campaign for his part, donald trump tonight spoke in New Hampshire. Although, i will say on tv, i think his remarks live remarks were overshadowed by the return of his opponent to the campaign trail and president obamas remarks tonight. Donald trump will not be overshadowed much later tonight when he appears on the tonight show with jimmy fallon. I do have two clips from that appearance to show you. Theres one sort of kind of normal politician on a late night show clip we have. And then theres one not normal at all clip. Let me show you the normal one first. Thank you for giving us the material that were doing. Its been amazing to follow and exciting. You say some shocking things. I cant even believe im trying not to anymore. See, thats changing. Thats what im talking about. Thats the normal one. Thats donald trump. He is going to be on the tonight show tonight. We got a second clip. I kind of cant believe it happened. I mean, its definitely jimmy fallon and its donald trump. I dont think anybody is a body double. Or a head double. You will see what i mean. This is really something. This really happened. Behold, a moment which the audience cant quite believe. The audience actually cant be brought to stop clopclapping in middle of this. Jimmy fallon is allowed to do something to donald trump that is almost impossible to conceive of. Watch this. Can i mess your hair up . I will be gentle. I will be gentle. As long the answer is yes. But the people in New Hampshire where im going to be in an hour from now, i hope theyre going to understand. Yes . Go ahead. Yes. Donald trump, everybody. I will do it as well. Donald trump, everybody. That is a thing that happened. I almost cant believe it. My hat is off my hat is tipped. I am very impressed by jimmy fallon that he had the that he pulled it off and donald trump let him. You know what i mean . This is an important moment. Thats not really an important moment. Still, rather stunning. All thats happened. Basically within the course of the last hour. When i say we have a lot of balls in the air, thats what i just showed you is some of what i mean. Biggest deal that i think has just happened, even just in political news, is this late breaking reporting that was just posted from robert costa at the Washington Post. He got an interview with donald trump on board his private plane. This is just posted tonight. Theres a couple of big headlines here. I will give you the headline one first in terms of what the Washington Post puts on its headline. Republican president ial nominee donald trump remains unwilling to say that president obama is born in the United States. Even though this is just posted within the last how or two, you saw Hillary Clinton turn this around and remark on this in her speech tonight at the hispanic caucus. This is quoting again from the Washington Post piece, trump refused to say whether he believes obama was born in hawaii. I will answer that question at the right time, trump said. I just dont want to answer it yet. Obviously, the political salience is myriad. Donald trump played with the idea of running for president in the 80s, in the year 2000. When he started flirting with the idea of running for president in 2012, his platform basically was going to be this birther idea, this idea that president obama was not really the president , that he was secretly foreign, he wasnt born in the United States. A lot of people see that as a deeply, deeply racist effort to undermine the authority and legitimacy of our nations first africanamerican president. Donald trump was the captain of that team in 2012. He has stopped talking about it recently. He has not made it a centerpiece of his campaign in 2016. He has very cagey as to whether he renounces those views or whether he still holds them. Its a threshold issue, particularly for a lot of africanamerican voters. But also for a lot of realitybased americans who know that this crusade against president obama was somewhere between evil and crazy and maybe even beyond. Robert costa got him to comment on this. There have been surrogates and Donald TrumpsCampaign Manager who have said rudy Trumps Campaign manager said in recent days that donald trump no longer is a birther, he no longer believes that president obama is secretly foreign, that he wasnt born in the United States. They have asserted plainly within the last week that thats no longer his view. Well, robert costa asked him about that directly tonight. It turns out they are not right about that. Trump refused to say whether he believes obama was born in hawaii. Robert followed up, when asked whether his Campaign Manager was accurate when she said recently that trump now believes obama was born in this country, trump responded, its okay, shes allowed to speak what she thinks. He continues, i dont talk about it anymore. If it is an issue for you whether or not donald trump still maintains and believes that president obama is secretly foreign and secretly not president , should not be counted as a president of the United States because his presidency is illegal because he was secretly not an american, then donald trump is still there. Two other smaller stories and one big one out of this interview. The two smaller ones concern the ousted ceo of fox news. Pushed out of fox amid allegations of theres that word. Lots of allegations of sexual harassment, including a large financial settlement paid to one former fox news host who says she was sexually harassed by him. It has been reported multiple sources, multiple contexts he is advising Donald Trumps president ial campaign. That has been a source of contention for me between me and the Trump Campaign, because when the Trump Campaign made their Campaign Manager available to this show to come on the show, i asked her directly whether roger was in fact a f
