I am delighted to be here in these new [Council on Foreign Relations] headquarters. I have been often to, I guess, the mother ship in New York City, but it's good to have an outpost of the Council right here down the street from the State Department. We get a lot of advice from the Council, so this will mean I won't have as far to go to be told what we should be doing and how we should think about the future.
Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat.
Our prisons and our jails are now our mental health institutions
I will not cut benefits. I want to enhance benefits for low-income workers and for women who have been disadvantaged by the current Social Security system.

I have always believed that women are not victims, we are agents of change, we are drivers of progress, we are makers of peace -- all we need is a fighting chance.
We've got to keep fighting, and I will defeat ISIS.
The Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I think it's a good rule for politics, too.
It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few, and for the few and to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity.
