you keep on focusing on Hil and praying that she's your ticket!

prayer is for religious myth believers and I'm not voting for Hil.

>> "Thank you, thank you so much. Thank you all very much. Thank you. Thank 
>> you San Diego for that warm, warm welcome and thanks to Ellen for those 
>> moving words, her introduction, and for reminding us it’s not only our men 
>> and women in uniform that serve our country, it’s their families, their 
>> spouses, their children, and we are grateful to each and every one of them. 
>> I want to recognize and thank Congressman Scott Peters for being here, 
>> thank you very much.
>>
>> And all of the other electeds and service members, active duty and 
>> retired National Guard and Reservists, veterans, military spouses, family 
>> members, all who are with us today.
>>
>> On Monday, we observed Memorial Day – a day that means a great deal to 
>> San Diego, home of so many active-duty and former military and their 
>> families.  We honor the sacrifice of those who died for our country in many 
>> ways – by living our values, by making this a stronger and fairer nation, 
>> and by carrying out a smart and principled foreign policy.
>>
>> That’s what I want to speak about today – the challenges we face in 
>> protecting our country, and the choice at stake in this election.  
>>
>> It’s a choice between a fearful America that’s less secure and less 
>> engaged with the world, and a strong, confident America that leads to keep 
>> our country safe and our economy growing.
>>
>> As Secretary of State, Senator and First Lady, I had the honor of 
>> representing America abroad and helping shape our foreign policy at home.  
>> As a candidate for President, there’s nothing I take more seriously than 
>> our national security. I’ve offered clear strategies for how to defeat 
>> ISIS, strengthen our alliances, and make sure Iran never gets a nuclear 
>> weapon.  And I’m going to keep America’s security at the heart of my 
>> campaign.
>>
>> Because as you know so well, Americans aren’t just electing a President 
>> in November.  We’re choosing our next commander-in-chief – the person we 
>> count on to decide questions of war and peace, life and death.
>>
>> And like many across our country and around the world, I believe the 
>> person the Republicans have nominated for President cannot do the job.
>>
>> Donald Trump’s ideas aren’t just different – they are dangerously 
>> incoherent. They’re not even really ideas – just a series of bizarre rants, 
>> personal feuds, and outright lies.
>>
>> He is not just unprepared – he is temperamentally unfit to hold an office 
>> that requires knowledge, stability and immense responsibility.
>>
>> This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes – because it’s 
>> not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because 
>> somebody got under his very thin skin.
>>
>> We cannot put the security of our children and grandchildren in Donald 
>> Trump’s hands.  We cannot let him roll the dice with America.
>>
>> This is a man who said that more countries should have nuclear weapons, 
>> including Saudi Arabia.  
>>
>> This is someone who has threatened to abandon our allies in NATO – the 
>> countries that work with us to root out terrorists abroad before they 
>> strike us at home.
>>
>> He believes we can treat the U.S. economy like one of his casinos and 
>> default on our debts to the rest of the world, which would cause an 
>> economic catastrophe far worse than anything we experienced in 2008.
>>
>> He has said that he would order our military to carry out torture and the 
>> murder of civilians who are related to suspected terrorists – even though 
>> those are war crimes.
>>
>> He says he doesn’t have to listen to our generals or our admirals, our 
>> ambassadors and other high officials, because he has – quote –
>> 'a very good brain.'
>>
>> He also said,​ 'I know more about ISIS than the generals do, believe me.'
>> ​ You know what? I don’t believe him.
>>
>> He says climate change is a hoax invented by the Chinese, and he has the 
>> gall to say that prisoners of war like John McCain aren’t heroes.
>>
>> He praises dictators like Vladimir Putin and picks fights with our 
>> friends – including the British prime minister, the mayor of London, the 
>> German chancellor, the president of Mexico and the Pope. He says he has 
>> foreign policy experience because he ran the Miss Universe pageant in 
>> Russia. 
>>
>> And to top it off, he believes America is weak.  An embarrassment.  He 
>> called our military a disaster.  He said we are – and I quote – a​ 
>> 'third-world 
>> country.' ​And he’s been saying things like that for decades.
>>
>> Those are the words my friends of someone who doesn’t understand America 
>> or the world. And they’re the words of someone who would lead us in the 
>> wrong direction. Because if you really believe America is weak – with our 
>> military, our values, our capabilities that no other country comes close to 
>> matching – then you don’t know America. And you certainly don’t deserve to 
>> lead it.
>>
>> That’s why – even if I weren’t in this race – I’d be doing everything I 
>> could to make sure Donald Trump never becomes President – because I believe 
>> he will take our country down a truly dangerous path.
>>
>> Unlike him, I have some experience with the tough calls and the hard work 
>> of statecraft. I wrestled with the Chinese over a climate deal in 
>> Copenhagen, brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, negotiated the 
>> reduction of nuclear weapons with Russia, twisted arms to bring the world 
>> together in global sanctions against Iran, and stood up for the rights of 
>> women, religious minorities and LGBT people around the world.
>>
>> And I have, I have sat in the Situation Room and advised the President on 
>> some of the toughest choices he faced. So I’m not new to this work.  And 
>> I’m proud to run on my record, because I think the choice before the 
>> American people in this election is clear.
>>
>> I believe in strong alliances; clarity in dealing with our rivals; and a 
>> rock-solid commitment to the values that have always made America great.  
>> And I believe with all my heart that America is an exceptional country – 
>> that we’re still, in Lincoln’s words, the last, best hope of earth.  We are 
>> not a country that cowers behind walls.  We lead with purpose, and we 
>> prevail.
>>
>> And if America doesn’t lead, we leave a vacuum – and that will either 
>> cause chaos, or other countries will rush in to fill the void.  Then 
>> they’ll be the ones making the decisions about your lives and jobs and 
>> safety – and trust me, the choices they make will not be to our 
>> benefit. That is not an outcome we can live with.
>>
>> As I see it, there are some important things our next President must do 
>> to secure American leadership and keep us safe and our economy growing in 
>> the years ahead.  These are all areas in which Donald Trump and I 
>> profoundly disagree.  And they are all critical to our future.
>>
>> First, we need to be strong at home. That means investing in our 
>> infrastructure, education and innovation – the fundamentals of a strong 
>> economy.  We need to reduce income inequality, because our country can’t 
>> lead effectively when so many are struggling to provide the basics for 
>> their families.  And we need to break down the barriers that hold Americans 
>> back, including barriers of bigotry and discrimination.
>>
>> Compare that with what Trump wants to do.  His economic plans would add 
>> more than $30 trillion – that’s trillion with a ‘t’ ​– $30 trillion to 
>> our national debt over the next 20 years.  He has no ideas on education.  
>> No ideas on innovation.  He has a lot of ideas about who to blame, but no 
>> clue about what to do. None of what Donald Trump is offering will make 
>> America stronger at home.  And that would make us weaker in the world.
>>
>> Second, we need to stick with our allies. America’s network of allies is 
>> part of what makes us exceptional.  And our allies deliver for us every 
>> day. Our armed forces fight terrorists together; our diplomats work side 
>> by side.  Allies provide staging areas for our military, so we can respond 
>> quickly to events on the other side of the world.  And they share 
>> intelligence that helps us identify and defuse potential threats.
>>
>> Take the threat posed by North Korea – perhaps the most repressive regime 
>> on the planet, run by a sadistic dictator who wants to develop long-range 
>> missiles that could carry a nuclear weapon to the United States.
>>
>> When I was Secretary of State, we worked closely with our allies Japan 
>> and South Korea to respond to this threat, including by creating a missile 
>> defense system that stands ready to shoot down a North Korean warhead, 
>> should its leaders ever be reckless enough to launch one at us.  The 
>> technology is ours.  Key parts of it are located on Japanese ships.  All 
>> three countries contributed to it.  And this month, all three of our 
>> militaries will run a joint drill to test it. That’s the power of 
>> allies. And it’s the legacy of American troops who fought and died to 
>> secure those bonds, because they knew we were safer with friends and 
>> partners.
>>
>> Now Moscow and Beijing are deeply envious of our alliances around the 
>> world, because they have nothing to match them.  They’d love for us to 
>> elect a President who would jeopardize that source of strength.  If Donald 
>> gets his way, they’ll be celebrating in the Kremlin.  We cannot let that 
>> happen.
>>
>> That’s why it is no small thing when he talks about leaving NATO, or says 
>> he’ll stay neutral on Israel’s security.
>>
>> It’s no small thing when he calls Mexican immigrants rapists and 
>> murderers. We’re lucky to have two friendly neighbors on our land borders.  
>> Why would he want to make one of them an enemy?
>>
>> And it’s no small thing when he suggests that America should withdraw our 
>> military support for Japan, encourage them to get nuclear weapons, and said 
>> this about a war between Japan and North Korea – and I quote –​ 'If they 
>> do, they do. Good luck, enjoy yourself, folks.' I wonder if he even 
>> realizes he’s talking about nuclear war.
>>
>> Yes, our friends need to contribute their fair share. I made that point 
>> long before Donald Trump came onto the scene – and a number of them have 
>> increased their defense spending.  The real debate here is whether we keep 
>> these alliances strong or cut them off.  What he says would weaken our 
>> country.
>>
>> Third, we need to embrace all the tools of American power, especially 
>> diplomacy and development, to be on the frontlines solving problems before 
>> they threaten us at home.
>>
>> Diplomacy is often the only way to avoid a conflict that could end up 
>> exacting a much greater cost.  It takes patience, persistence and an eye on 
>> the long game – but it’s worth it. Take the nuclear agreement with Iran. 
>> When President Obama took office, Iran was racing toward a nuclear bomb. 
>> Some called for military action.  But that could have ignited a broader war 
>> that could have mired our troops in another Middle Eastern conflict.
>>
>> President Obama chose a different path.  And I got to work leading the 
>> effort to impose crippling global sanctions.  We brought Iran to the 
>> table.  We began talks. And eventually, we reached an agreement that should 
>> block every path for Iran to get a nuclear weapon. Now we must enforce that 
>> deal vigorously. And as I’ve said many times before, our approach must be 
>> ​'distrust and verify.'​
>>
>> The world must understand that the United States will act decisively if 
>> necessary, including with military action, to stop Iran from getting a 
>> nuclear weapon.  In particular, Israel’s security is non-negotiable.  
>> They’re our closest ally in the region, and we have a moral obligation to 
>> defend them.
>>
>> But there is no question that the world and the United States, we are 
>> safer now than we were before this agreement.  And we accomplished it 
>> without firing a single shot, dropping a single bomb or putting a single 
>> American soldier in harm’s way.
>>
>> Donald Trump says we shouldn’t have done the deal.  We should have walked 
>> away.  But that would have meant no more global sanctions, and Iran 
>> resuming their nuclear program and the world blaming us.  So then what?  
>> War?  Telling the world, good luck, you deal with Iran?
>>
>> Of course Trump doesn’t have answers to those questions.  Donald Trump 
>> doesn’t know the first thing about Iran or its nuclear program.  Ask him.  
>> It’ll become very clear, very quickly. 
>>
>> There’s no risk of people losing their lives if you blow up a golf-course 
>> deal.
>>
>> But it doesn’t work like that in world affairs. Just like being 
>> interviewed on the same episode of “60 Minutes” as Putin was, is not the 
>> same thing as actually dealing with Putin.
>>
>> So the stakes in global statecraft are infinitely higher and more complex 
>> than in the world of luxury hotels. We all know the tools Donald Trump 
>> brings to the table – bragging, mocking, composing nasty tweets – I’m 
>> willing to bet he’s writing a few right now. But those tools won’t do 
>> the trick. Rather than solving global crises, he would create new ones.
>>
>> He has no sense of what it takes to deal with multiple countries with 
>> competing interests and reaching a solution that everyone can get behind. 
>> In fact, he is downright contemptuous of that work. And that means he’s 
>> much more likely to end up leading us into conflict.
>>
>> Fourth, we need to be firm but wise with our rivals. Countries like 
>> Russia and China often work against us. Beijing dumps cheap steel in our 
>> markets. That hurts American workers. Moscow has taken aggressive military 
>> action in Ukraine, right on NATO’s doorstep. Now I’ve gone toe-to-toe with 
>> Russia and China, and many other different leaders around the world. So I 
>> know we have to be able to both stand our ground when we must, and find 
>> common ground when we can.
>>
>> That’s how I could work with Russia to conclude the New START treaty to 
>> reduce nuclear stockpiles, and with China to increase pressure on North 
>> Korea. It’s how our diplomats negotiated the landmark agreement on climate 
>> change, which Trump now wants to rip up.
>>
>> The key was never forgetting who we were dealing with – not friends or 
>> allies, but countries that share some common interests with us amid many 
>> disagreements.
>>
>> Donald doesn’t see the complexity.  He wants to start a trade war with 
>> China.  And I understand a lot of Americans have concerns about our trade 
>> agreements – I do too.  But a trade war is something very different. We 
>> went down that road in the 1930s. It made the Great Depression longer and 
>> more painful. Combine that with his comments about defaulting on our debt, 
>> and it’s not hard to see how a Trump presidency could lead to a global 
>> economic crisis.
>>
>> And I have to say, I don’t understand Donald’s bizarre fascination with 
>> dictators and strongmen who have no love for America. He praised China for 
>> the Tiananmen Square massacre; he said it showed strength.  He said, 
>> ​'You’ve 
>> got to give Kim Jong Un credit' ​for taking over North Korea – something 
>> he did by murdering everyone he saw as a threat, including his own uncle, 
>> which Donald described gleefully, like he was recapping an action movie. 
>> And he said if he were grading Vladimir Putin as a leader, he’d give him an 
>> A.
>>
>> Now, I’ll leave it to the psychiatrists to explain his affection for 
>> tyrants.
>>
>> I just wonder how anyone could be so wrong about who America’s real 
>> friends are. Because it matters. If you don’t know exactly who you’re 
>> dealing with, men like Putin will eat your lunch.
>>
>> Fifth, we need a real plan for confronting terrorists. As we saw six 
>> months ago in San Bernardino, the threat is real and urgent. Over the past 
>> year, I’ve laid out my plans for defeating ISIS. We need to take out 
>> their strongholds in Iraq and Syria by intensifying the air campaign and 
>> stepping up our support for Arab and Kurdish forces on the ground. We need 
>> to keep pursuing diplomacy to end Syria’s civil war and close Iraq’s 
>> sectarian divide, because those conflicts are keeping ISIS alive.  We need 
>> to lash up with our allies, and ensure our intelligence services are 
>> working hand-in-hand to dismantle the global network that supplies money, 
>> arms, propaganda and fighters to the terrorists. We need to win the battle 
>> in cyberspace. And of course we need to strengthen our defenses here at 
>> home.
>>
>> That – in a nutshell – is my plan for defeating ISIS.
>>
>> What’s Trump’s?  Well he won’t say. He is literally keeping it a secret. 
>> The secret, of course, is he has no idea what he’d do to stop ISIS. Just 
>> look at the few things he’s actually said on the subject.  He’s actually 
>> said – and I quote –​ 'maybe Syria should be a free zone for ISIS.​' Oh, 
>> okay – let a terrorist group have control of a major country in the Middle 
>> East.
>>
>> Then he said we should send tens of thousands of American ground troops 
>> to the Middle East to fight ISIS. He also refused to rule out using nuclear 
>> weapons against ISIS, which would mean mass civilian casualties.
>>
>> It’s clear he doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about. So we can’t be 
>> certain which of these things he would do. But we can be certain that he’s 
>> capable of doing any or all of them. Letting ISIS run wild. Launching a 
>> nuclear attack. Starting a ground war. These are all distinct possibilities 
>> with Donald Trump in charge.
>>
>> And through all his loose talk, there’s one constant theme: demonizing 
>> Muslims and playing right into the hands of ISIS’. His proposal to ban 1.5 
>> billion Muslims from even coming to our country doesn’t just violate the 
>> religious freedom our country was founded on.  It’s also a huge propaganda 
>> victory for ISIS.  And it alienates the very countries we need to actually 
>> help us in this fight.
>>
>> A Trump Presidency would embolden ISIS. We cannot take that risk. This 
>> isn’t reality television – this is actual reality.
>>
>> And defeating global terrorist networks and protecting the homeland takes 
>> more than empty talk and a handful of slogans. It takes a real plan, real 
>> experience and real leadership. Donald Trump lacks all three.
>>
>> And one more thing. A President has a sacred responsibility to send our 
>> troops into battle only if we absolutely must, and only with a clear and 
>> well-thought-out strategy. Our troops give their all. They deserve a 
>> commander-in-chief who knows that.
>>
>> I’ve worked side-by-side with admirals and generals, and visited our 
>> troops in theaters of war.  I’ve fought for better health care for our 
>> National Guard, better services for our veterans, and more support for our 
>> Gold Star families. We cannot put the lives of our young men and women in 
>> uniform in Donald Trump’s hands.
>>
>> Sixth, we need to stay true to our values. Trump says over and over 
>> again,​ 'The world is laughing at us.' ​He’s been saying ​this for 
>> decades, he didn’t just start this year. He bought full-page ads in 
>> newspapers across the country back in 1987, when Ronald Reagan was 
>> President, saying that America lacked a backbone and the world was – you 
>> guessed it – laughing at us. He was wrong then, and he’s wrong now – and 
>> you’ve got to wonder why somebody who fundamentally has so little 
>> confidence in America, and has felt that way for at least 30 years, wants 
>> to be our President.
>>
>> The truth is, there’s not a country in the world that can rival us. It’s 
>> not just that we have the greatest military, or that our economy is larger, 
>> more durable, more entrepreneurial than any in the world. It’s also that 
>> Americans work harder, dream bigger – and we never, ever stop trying to 
>> make our country and world a better place.
>>
>> So it really matters that Donald Trump says things that go against our 
>> deepest-held values.  It matters when he says he’ll order our military to 
>> murder the families of suspected terrorists.  During the raid to kill bin 
>> Laden, when every second counted, our SEALs took the time to move the women 
>> and children in the compound to safety. Donald Trump may not get it, but 
>> that’s what honor looks like.
>>
>> And it also matters when he makes fun of disabled people, calls women 
>> pigs,
>> proposes banning an entire religion from our country, or plays coy with 
>> white supremacists.  America stands up to countries that treat women like 
>> animals, or people of different races, religions or ethnicities as less 
>> human.
>>
>> What happens to the moral example we set – for the world and for our own 
>> children – if our President engages in bigotry?
>>
>> And by the way, Mr. Trump – every time you insult American Muslims or 
>> Mexican immigrants, remember that plenty of Muslims and immigrants serve 
>> and fight in our armed forces.
>>
>> Donald Trump, Donald Trump could learn something from them.
>>
>> That brings me to the final point I want to make today – the temperament 
>> it takes
>> to be Commander-in-Chief. Every President faces hard choices every day, 
>> with imperfect information and conflicting imperatives.  That’s the job. A 
>> revolution threatens to topple a government in a key region, an adversary 
>> reaches out for the first time in years – what do you do? 
>>
>> Making the right call takes a cool head and respect for the facts.  It 
>> takes a willingness to listen to other people’s points of view with a truly 
>> open mind.  It also takes humility – knowing you don’t know everything – 
>> because if you’re convinced you’re always right, you’ll never ask yourself 
>> the hard questions.
>>
>> I remember being in the Situation Room with President Obama, debating the 
>> potential Bin Laden operation. The President’s advisors were divided.  The 
>> intelligence was compelling but far from definitive. The risks of failure 
>> were daunting. The stakes were significant for our battle against al Qaeda 
>> and our relationship with Pakistan.  Most of all, the lives of those brave 
>> SEALs and helicopter pilots hung in the balance.
>>
>> It was a decision only the President could make. And when he did, it was 
>> as crisp and courageous a display of leadership as I’ve ever seen. Now 
>> imagine Donald Trump sitting in the Situation Room, making life-or-death 
>> decisions on behalf of the United States.  Imagine him deciding whether to 
>> send your spouses or children into battle.  Imagine if he had not just his 
>> Twitter account at his disposal when he’s angry, but America’s entire 
>> arsenal.
>>
>> Do we want him making those calls – someone thin-skinned and quick to 
>> anger, who lashes out at the smallest criticism?  Do we want his finger 
>> anywhere near the button? I have a lot of faith that the American people 
>> will make the right decision.  This is a country with a deep reservoir of 
>> common sense and national pride.  We’re all counting on that.
>>
>> Because making Donald Trump our commander-in-chief would be a historic 
>> mistake. It would undo so much of the work that Republicans and Democrats 
>> alike have done over many decades to make America stronger and more secure. 
>> It would set back our standing in the world more than anything in recent 
>> memory. And it would fuel an ugly narrative about who we are – that we’re 
>> fearful, not confident; that we want to let others determine our future for 
>> us, instead of shaping our own destiny. That’s not the America I know 
>> and love.
>>
>> So yes, we have a lot of work to do to keep our country secure. And we 
>> need to do better by American families and American workers – and we will. 
>> But don’t let anyone tell you that America isn’t great.  Donald Trump’s got 
>> America all wrong. We are a big-hearted, fair-minded country.
>>
>> There is no challenge we can’t meet, no goal we can’t achieve when we 
>> each do our part and come together as one nation. Every lesson from our 
>> history teaches us that we are stronger together. We remember that every 
>> Memorial Day.
>>
>> This election is a choice between two very different visions of America. One 
>> that’s angry, afraid, and based on the idea that America is fundamentally 
>> weak and in decline. The other is hopeful, generous, and confident in 
>> the knowledge that America is great – just like we always have been.
>>
>> Let’s resolve that we can be greater still. That is what I believe in my 
>> heart. I went to 112 countries as your Secretary of State.  And I never 
>> lost my sense of pride at seeing our blue-and-white plane lit up on some 
>> far-off runway, with​ 'The United States of America'​ emblazoned on the
