Barack Obama

I hereby approve your request dated June 16, 2016 and direct the transfer of the requested responsibilities in the Unified Command Plan.

I hereby delegate to you the authority under section 614(a)(1) of the FAA to determine whether it is important to the security interests of the United States to furnish up to $28,970,312 of Fiscal Year 2015 Economic Support Fund resources…

If Mr. Trump is up 10 or 15 points on election day and ends up losing then maybe he can raise some questions.

What I can say is this is serious business, and the person who is in the Oval Office... they are counting on somebody who has the temperament and good judgment to be able to make decision to keep America safe.

Of course, this election will not be rigged.

At the end of the day it's the American people's decision. I have one vote. I have the same vote you do. I have the same vote that all of the voters who were eligible all across the country have.

The person who is in the Oval Office and who our secretary of defense and our joint chiefs of staff and our outstanding men and women in uniform report to, you know, they are counting on somebody who has the temperament and good judgment…

One is very positive and one is not so much. What I can say is this is a serious business.

Just listen to what Mr. Trump has to say and make your own judgment with respect to how confident you feel about his ability to manage things like our nuclear triad.

We announced these payments in January. Many months ago, there wasn't a secret. We announced them to all of you. Josh did a briefing on them. This wasn't some nefarious deal. We do not pay ransom for hostages.

The notion that we would somehow start now in this high-profile way and announce it to the world even as we're looking into the faces of other hostage families whose loved ones are being held hostage and say to them that we don't pay…

We do not pay Ransom for hostages.

We announced these payments in January, many months ago. There wasn't a secret. We announced them to all of you.

Nothing will do more to discredit ISIL than when it loses its base in Raqqa and Mosul.

More than 40 U.S. servicemembers have now contracted Zika overseas.

And that's why we're also working to counter violent extremism more broadly.

Fighting Zika costs money.

This will be an election like every other election.

Even ISIL's leaders know they're going to keep losing.

Congress needs to do its job.

The national emergency declared in Executive Order 13222 in light of the expiration of the Export Administration Act of 1979 is to continue in effect for 1 year beyond August 17, 2016.

ISIL has not had a major successful offensive operation in either Syria or Iraq in a full year.

One person can be a force for positive change.

Your vision will have to be won by you and by your fellow countrymen and women.

You're young, you're talented, optimistic.
