When Colin Powell Showed Up As Secretary Of State In 2001, Most State Department Employees Still Didn't Even Have Computers On Their Desks.

We Have To Change, And I Can't Expect People To Change If I Don't Try To Model It And Lead It.

It's Also Important, Particularly For Privileged Kids, To Involve Them In Charitable Activities. It's A Way Of Raising Consciousness For Your Kids So They Don't Get Totally Sucked Into The Materialism And Celebrity Culture.

Getting Countries Working Together Was My Job Every Day As Your Secretary Of State. It`s More Than A Photo Op. It Takes Consistency And Reliability. And It Certainly Takes More Than Trying On Make Up For A Year Of Insults And Insinuations By Dropping In On Our Neighbors For A Few Hours And Then Flying Home Again. That Is Not How It Works.

It Wasn't Until 1998 That I Ever Seriously Thought About Running For Office. And I Didn't Make Up My Mind To Do That Until 1999, And Then I Ran For The Senate. It Was Really Hard For Me.

We Have A Lot Of Issues With Corporate Power That Have To Be Addressed. My Plan Takes Us Further And It Would Do The Job.

People Are Stereotypes, They Are Caricaturized. It Comes From Both Sides Of The Political Aisle, It Comes From The Press.

But It's Not For The Fainthearted.

I Am Not Going To Engage In The Kind Of Behavior That You See From Donald Trump.

Donald Trump Has Spent His Entire Campaign Offering A Dog Whistle To His Most Hateful Supporters.

Remember, Donald [trump] Started His Career Back In 1973 Being Sued By The Justice Department For Racial Discrimination Because He Would Not Rent Apartments In One Of His Developments To African-americans, And He Made Sure That The People Who Worked For Him Understood That Was The Policy.

We Have To Tackle The Plague Of Gun Violence.

You Know, The Vibrancy Of The Black Church, The Black Businesses That Employ So Many People, The Opportunities That So Many Families Are Working To Provide For Their Kids. There's A Lot That We Should Be Proud Of And We Should Be Supporting And Lifting Up.

I've Worked With A Lot Of Different Muslim Groups Around America. I've Met With A Lot Of Them, And I've Heard How Important It Is For Them To Feel That They Are Wanted And Included And Part Of Our Country, Part Of Our Homeland Security, And That's What I Want To See.

When I Became Secretary Of State, We Had 200,000 Troops Deployed In Iraq And Afghanistan. And I'm Very Grateful That We Have Brought Home The Vast Majority Of Those.

Laws And Traditions That Hold Back Women, Hold Back Entire Societies.

I'm Going To Keep Talking About What I Would Do As President, The Experience That I Bring, The Temperament And Judgment That Led President [barack] Obama To Ask Me To Be Secretary Of State After We Ran A Really Hard Primary Against Each Other.

Senator [ben] Sanders And I Share Some Very Big Progressive Goals. I've Been Fighting For Universal Healthcare For Many Years, And We're Now On The Path To Achieving It.

If I Had Lost The Popular Vote But Won The Electoral College And In My First Day As President The Intelligence Community Came To Me And Said, "the Russians Influenced The Election," I Would've Never Stood For It. Even Though It Might've Advantaged Me, I Would've Said, "we've Got To Get To The Bottom Of This." I Would've Set Up An Independent Commission With Subpoena Power And Everything Else.

What I Don't Think We Should Do Is Panic, And I Don't Think We Should Advocate For Ideas And Plans That Will Make Things Worse.

As I Speak To You Today, Government Censors Somewhere Are Working Furiously To Erase My Words From The Records Of History. But History Itself Has Already Condemned These Tactics.

I Think It's Been Unfortunate, But It's Happened, That Since The Great Recession, The Gains Have All Gone To The Top. And We Need To Reverse That.

When I Left The Secretary Of State Office, I Had A 69% Approval Rating. Once I Start Running For Office And All The Incoming You Know Is Battering Away, People Are Going To Say, "hey, Wait A Minute - What's That Mean, What's That Mean?"

I Think Part Of The Reason Trump Behaves The Way He Behaves Is That He Is A Walking Example Of Projection. Whatever He's Doing And Whatever He Thinks Is Happening He Will Accuse Somebody Else Of. And There Are Examples During The Campaign When He Did Just That, Like When He Called Publicly On Russia To Hack My Personal Emails. He Knew They Were Trying To Do Whatever They Could To Discredit Me With Emails, So There's Obviously A Trail There, But I Don't Know That In Our System We Have Any Means Of Doing That.

What Donald Trump Has Done Is To Make It Possible For People Who Had Racist, Sexist, And All Kinds Of Prejudices And Bigotry To Put Them Right Out There.

I Think If You Come From Where I Came From And Where I Have Always Been, I've Always Been Reaching Out And Whether It's Talking With Our Neighbors Or Going Shopping Or Standing, Talking To People In These Bookstores And Hearing What's On Their Minds, Or Even The Work I Did For Eight Years As A Senator To Bring New Jobs To New York And Stand Up For The People I Represented.

I`m Running For President Because Everyday Americans And Their Families Need A Champion, And I Want To Be That Champion. I Want To Make The Words Middle Class Mean Something Again.

He Certainly Has Gone After Individual Women In The Media, In The Political Arena.

I Feel Strongly That The Supreme Court Needs To Stand On The Side Of The American People, Not On The Side Of The Powerful Corporations And The Wealthy.

Donald Trump Praised Russia's Strong Man, Vladimir Putin, Even Taking The Astonishing Step Of Suggesting That He Prefers The Russian President To Our American President.

I'm Going To Do Everything I Can To Bring Our Policies In Line With The Way Families Live And Work Today By Guaranteeing Paid Family Leave And Making Child Care Affordable.

It's Dark And It's Divisive - Deporting 11 Million People, Talking About Law And Order, Calling Every Group Of People In America Names, Talking About Cutting Taxes On The Wealthy, Feeling Like Donald Trump Can Bring More Nuclear Weapons Into The World - I Mean, Everything He's Talked About Is A Form Of Change.
