"I think our young people deserve a fair shot Hydro Flask 16oz Baratas ," she told about 900 people gathered in a Bellagio resort ballroom for the annual UNLV Foundation dinner benefiting the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Later, talking about the American public's possible reluctance to get involved in conflicts around the world, Clinton referred to the threats posed by the Ebola virus and the Islamic State group.
And Ebola is not going to stay confined, she said.
At every step, officials should ask if actions are in America's best interest, she said.
"We can't say we're not going to be involved because these things are other people's problems Hydro Flask 12 OZ Café Baratas ," she said.
The remarks were part of questions from longtime friend and Las Vegas Sun Publisher Brian Greenspun after Clinton's prepared speech that touched on her thoughts on Russian President Vladimir Putin ("I see a very cold-blooded, calculated former KGB agent who is determined to not only enrich himself and his closest colleagues but also to try to revive Russia's influence around its border"), the most important person she's ever met (Nelson Mandela for his "level of self-awareness and political skill") and her most difficult decision as secretary of state ("Whether or not to go after Bin Laden based on the evidence we had.").
But before any questions, Greenspun presented her a gift: a pair of Nike athletic shoes Hydro Flask 12oz Baratas , a reference to one of her last appearances in Las Vegas in April when a woman in the crowd threw a shoe at Clinton.
