Here are five important moments from that hour.

Clinton has said in the past that ISIS is using Republican presidential nominee’s comments to recruit new terrorists, but she has never directly said that the terrorist group is rooting for his candidacy. During today’s press conference, Clinton reaffirmed her commitment to defeating ISIS and said she would make it a top priority to hunt down the terrorist group’s leader and bring him to justice as the US did with Osama bin Laden.
“It’s her opportunity to continue to frame the message, to own the conversation”, said Maria Cardona, a Democratic strategist and former Clinton campaign aide.
His position on the war is coming under increasing scrutiny as he attacks Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton for voting to authorize the war while she was in the Senate. “There were no headers”.
“Shortly after being inaugurated I would invite the prime minister to Washington for meetings, I would send my joint chiefs and intelligence experts to Israel to meet with their counterparts”, she said in an interview with Israeli Channel Two television aired today. We all know that Trump lies a lot.
She said Trump has not thought about what kind of infrastructure and strategic planning such an operation will require.
“On August 31, the day Trump met with the President of Mexico and delivered his 10-point plan to reform immigration laws in this country, the campaign raised more than $5 million”, it said.
For the most part they refrained, though Clinton said Trump had refused to take responsibility for his initial support for the Iraq War.
Currently, the U.S. has thousands of troops in Iraq and hundreds in Syria, but their mission is to train local forces and not engage in direct combat with DAESH.
Speaking at Cleveland Arts and Social Sciences Academy, the Republican presidential nominee said that if he had been in Congress at the time, he would have voted against authorizing the military conflict.
Hillary Clinton says it was inappropriate for Republican Donald Trump to discuss his intelligence briefing.
But he was also harshly critical of the military, saying America’s generals have been “reduced to rubble” under Obama. He also suggested he would shake up the military’s top ranks if he wins in November, saying there would probably be “different generals”.
While still not giving many specifics on his plan to fight ISIS – which he has said he won’t release so as not to tip off US enemies – Trump said there would be “different generals” who would advise him on national security and military policy as president. “I don’t want people to be reading about it in 200 or 400 years”, said Mr. Trump. “You have a fan”, Carvey, as Putin, said.
“Bizarrely once again, he praised Russia’s strongman, Vladimir Putin, even taking the astonishing step of suggesting that he preferred the Russian president to our American president”. The controversial leader has praised Trump, and Trump said he would return the sentiment.
“I have great faith in the military”.
“What he said about Vladimir Putin, when Vladimir Putin came up last night and Donald Trump talked about what a strong leader he thinks he is compared to Barack Obama…”
Trump stood by a previous comment that appeared to blame military sexual assaults on men and women serving together, but added he would not seek to remove women from the military.
