MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.00.46:

Well, I'll tell you. We have had such a great response from the military. But you know, our military has been very much depleted. And…we haven't been building it back up the way it should be. And…frankly, I've been…I've been talking about this with a lot of people. Uh…and I use the best example: the drug companies. They give to the candidates. And then we don't go out to competitive bidding with drugs. We’re the largest purchaser of drugs…in the world! And we don't go out to competitive bidding! The reason is, you look at a guy like Woody Johnson, from Johnson & Johnson. He's a nice guy. But he's in charge of the Jeb Bush campaign fundraising.
So when…that happens, and then let's say somebody gets in office, there's no way you're gonna go out to competitive bid! Well, it's the same thing with the military. We have…people…and we have, you know, when you…when you look at…competitiveness, we're not buying the right equipment…; we're not buying anything! You look at what's taking place with our military…it's being depleted. We're gonna make it the biggest, the strongest, the most powerful…; we're gonna build it up. We're not gonna be messed around with anymore, because believe me folks, we are being messed around with. We are…we are…thin.
I looked at…uh…general Odierno when he left. He was saying it's the most depleted…since he…can remember! And then he was talking about a long period of time. So, we have to build up our military, and we have to take care of our vets. Our vets are being horribly mistreated. We have to take care of our vets…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.

MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.02.23:
 
I don’t mind…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. I’ve already had. It’s actually a great compliment.
MR. BEN INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.03.00:

Uh…he has done such a lousy job as president…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You look at our budgets…; you look at our spending…; we can't beat ISIS…; Obamacare is terrible…; we're gonna terminate it. We're gonna…absolutely terminate it, and replace it.
I mean, you look at everything. Our borders are like…uh…Swiss cheese. Uh…this man has done such a bad job. He has set us back so far…and for him to say that, actually, is a great compliment if you wanna know the truth…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS.
And…we just got a call into coming over, with…and the bridge is like packed! Just so you understand. We were like in that car a long time. But, we just gave…one of the…major networks called, and they wanted a response. And I said, “you're lucky I didn't run last time when Romney ran, because you would have been a one-term president”. That was my statement to him.
And, you know…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…I was backing McCain when he ran, and…you know, frankly, that was…gonna be a tough one to win, because a lot of things were going wrong, right? You…you know, for a Republican to win that one was tough, in all fairness to John McCain. And we should have won the Romney won. Because…we had a failed to president. We had a country…country that was failing, and we should have won that one.
So, I backed to Romney I backed McCain, both lost, and this one I said, very simply I said, “we're gonna do it ourselves. We're gonna do it right. We're gonna win. We're not gonna take this stuff anymore. We're gonna do it right. And we're gonna make America great again”:
You know, our whole theme is Make America Great Again, and that's what the whole deal is. We're gonna make America great again…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
MR. BEN INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.04.59:

Well, first of all, I think the World Trade Center would be standing, I will tell you[paa1] . Because if you read my book, The America We Deserve, I have a whole…you know, paragraph, or two, about Osama bin Laden. And one of the big hosts of one of the show's said, “I don't believe it. You know, Trump was talking about Osama bin Laden two years before the World Trade Center came down”.

Now, I wasn't even a politician. I was…a…business person, like a lot of you, people, and…but I've always been very interested, and fascinated by it. And I saw this guy, and I watched this guy, and I read about him. And I said, “he's trouble! He's big trouble!”. And believe me, I would have done something about that.
The other thing is, the terrorists that knocked down the building, if you look, the terrorists that knocked down those buildings were in Florida, and different places…and they were all…working on flying, and working on different things…; if that had happened with me…it wouldn't have happened with me[paa2] . We would have had strong policies in place where they wouldn't have been here. They wouldn't have been in the country, certainly many of them wouldn't have been here. We would have somehow found a way to stop it.
As far as Bill Clinton is concerned, he had a shot…at Osama bin Laden. And I assume that's what your question really refers to. And he didn't take the shot. He had a shot at taking out…I don't know if you know this, but they were telling him, and for some reason…and he never explained it properly, he didn't take out Osama bin Laden. And had he done that, you would have the World Trade Center just standing [and] you wouldn’t have lost thousands…lost thousands…; I mean, I have friends to this day…they’re…they're dying! They've been dying for years! With the…the problems of the World Trade Center, and the coming down of the World Trade Center.
So, Clinton should have taken the shot. He…he had…everything going, and for some reason he decided…not to. You'll have to ask him. [It’s] very sad.
MR. BEN INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.06.58:

So…nobody has been treated with less respect…than our veterans. And I really mean that. These are our greatest people…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS. The wounded warriors, the veterans…these are our great people. And…I mean, their attitude is incredible. But you look at…it's…what's going on…and you look at the suicide rate, which is record-setting in the history of our country…; and…so much of it has to do with the scandal of the Veterans Administration. And…it's corrupt. It’s incompetent. It's…everything that can be bad about anything. It's…everything that could be bad about government.
And…president Obama hasn't done a damn thing. He's poured more money by the years. People running it that shouldn't be running anything. And we are going to make the Veterans Administration so good, so proper…which is gonna be run so well. We've got some…I've got some of the best people in the world to run it. Already there talking to me about it. We need great managers. But I'll tell you what we need.
 
When a veteran is waiting in a waiting room for six days, and can't get a doctor, and ends up dying…you know, it's…a lot of them…you talk about suicides. A lot of them…wait…for doctors, and they die before they get to see a doctor…for what could be a simple procedure. What could be a prescription. And…this is what's happening.
 
We are gonna give them the right. And I cover this very strongly. Very, very strongly in my…in my…you know, we put in policy. And it's…it's covered. I think it's very simple, actually. But, they are going to be able to go outside, to private doctor's, private hospitals, public hospitals. Wherever they have to go! Because different places have different…different ways…of…making you better. And…we will pay for it. And it's gonna be a really good system. It's gonna be less expensive, and they’re gonna end up getting greater service. And we're gonna make a determination, but it's something that's so simple…-THE CROWD APPALUDS.
This is something that's so simple…that I can't believe it hasn't been done. But, they are going to get great service immediate on the spot. Folks, uh…they're waiting four, five and six days. Can you imagine yourselves put in that position? If I have to wait 12 minutes for a doctor, I'm like… “what's going on here?” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. These people are waiting.
And you know, sometimes they get there, and the doctor is in there. The doctor leaves, or they go on vacation…; they go home. We…we can't let it happen to our veterans. We have to take care of our veterans, and we're gonna take care of them really well…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.

MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.09.43:
 
Well, I think…George…you know, I'm always talking about MacArthur, and Patton, and the great generals. Or, you know, relatively modern-day generals that…these were great…people. And we have people like that. When you go to the West Point; when you go to Annapolis, or the Air Force Academy, we have these incredible…young people. They're…growing, and growing, and growing…and we have them…all throughout our armed services. We have…such talent…that it's…amazing. But we're not using that talent.
And, we're also not running it with the generals. We're running it through the White House. We're at a war, and…we're…I mean, I've known many cases, and I'm hearing about them all the time, where…we're ready to knock out the enemy and they get a call, “do not do it. Do not do it. Do…”. You know, look: we're a war where people are cutting off the heads of Christians and everybody else. This is like medieval times. We're dealing in medieval times.
If you remember the date…the debate from…just before the last one, where they were talking about torture. And they were talking about waterboarding. And they asked Ted Cruz, who I think is totally unfit to be President, but these are minor details…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS. I really mean that. I think this guy…;
A senator just came out today, a senator…from…Oklahoma, who’s a very highly respected senator. He said he's…he's one of the most dishonest people he's ever worked with. That's a hell of a statement. I've never even heard a statement like that. And a respected…one of the most respected senators.
But, if you look at all of the…you know, the different things that we have to do, we have to get back, and we have to get back online, and we have to do it right. We're not doing things right anymore. We're not winning anymore. We don't have our right people anymore. We have great…I love general Douglas MacArthur! He's always been somebody I’ve studied and I respect…; General George Patton…!
We have to win! We have to beat ISIS! Again, it's like we're living in…medieval times. We're living in medieval times! We never heard…a James Foley. All of a sudden you heard…a head chopped off. We haven't…I don’t think anybody's ever heard of that before! Now, all of a sudden, it's routine. You see them dropping cages in the ocean, and pulling them back up a half an hour later. Steel cages…; we've gotta do it.
I was against…I should get points for vision, because I was totally against…the war in Iraq, as you probably know, Ben. But I was totally against…the war in Iraq. I said, “it's gonna destabilize the Middle East”. And I…totally…destabilized it. And in 2003-2004 they wrote about it. I would talk about it before that. But again, I was a prior…you know as a businessman. I wasn't a politician! But, I just said, “it's gonna destabilize the Middle East”. Well, it did. It did. And…points…[it] doesn't matter, you get points. But of all the people running, I was the one that didn't wanna do it. And I felt strongly about it.
Well, now the…Middle East is destabilized. You have the migration. You look at Germany. You look at all of these countries, it's a disaster what's going on over there. And by the way, we should build a safe zone…in Syria, and we cannot take any people in this country. We have no idea where they come from…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…we have…we have no idea where they come from. We can't bid them at all. And…you look at the migration, you look at all the young men…! I mean, you look and there's so many young, strong men…people talk about it! And very…I mean, relatively few women, and few children. This could be the ultimate Trojan horse. So, we can't do it. [Build a] Safe zone and get the Gulf states to pay for it, and I would lead that. Who's better at building than I am? But, we cannot let these people come into the United States.
One of the things that has happened is…I have definitely been the focus on…if you talk about illegal immigration, when I…on June 16th I talked about illegal immigration. We're gonna build a wall. We're gonna have strong borders. And that sort of morphed into this, because here's…another element of it, which is probably even a stronger element of it. You saw what happened with the two radicals that get…they got radicalized. They were married. They kill 14 people. And these people gave them…wedding parties, and things. And they killed them! They walked in, [and] they killed them!
 
We cannot…let this happen. We cannot let these people come in under any circumstances. It can't happen. We have to have a strong country again. We have to be vigilant. We have to be smart. And if we're not vigilant, and if would not smart, we're gonna have troubles like you've never seen before. Just look at what's happening over in Europe. It is a disaster…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
MR. BEN INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.14.07:
 
Well, I don't like what the governors are doing! The governors are saying “we…have no power”. I know in South Carolina they're…putting people into the state. And…I like Nikki, and…and I…you know, I’ve supported her! I've given her contributions, and…I give everybody contributions, if I had to be honest with you…-THE CROWD MUTTERS-…but I've given her contributions. And…she talked about in her…uh…speech, a couple of weeks ago. She talked about ‘anger’. And…people that are with me are…they are angry! And we're not angry people! We’re angry at the stupidity of the way our country's run! We're angry that…you know, it's like…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS.
We have the highest taxes in the world, by the way. We have the highest taxes of the world. The middle class is being wiped out because they're paying so much. And…for other reasons! They're being wiped out! I mean, the…the middle class, if you look at how unfairly they're treated in this country…! But we have…think of it: we have the highest…taxes…in the world, and we have nothing but problems!
And then they say, “Donald Trump is angry!”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. I am angry! You know, I was supposed to answer the question, cause it was given at me, “is it true that you're angry?”. And I was supposed to say, “oh, no, I'm not angry. I'm thrilled”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS-…“I'm thrilled with the way everything's running”.
We owe 19 trillion dollars. These…Republicans…our friends…you know, look: at least we know where the Democrats are coming from. But the Republicans, four weeks ago, approved a budget that gives Obama every single thing he ever dreamed of! Money for…the migration to come in, right? Money for illegal immigrants to come in! Money for everything! Everything he wanted. I always say, “Obama is a terrible negotiator. He never wins. [He] makes the worst deals I've ever seen”. The deal with Iran is the worst maybe I've ever seen! Forget about nations. It may be the worst deal I've ever seen! [it’s] so incompetent! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’s true!
 
But he's a great negotiator where? With the Republicans, okay? If I get in, believe me, we…it's gonna be a whole different story, folks. It's gonna be a whole different story…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
MR. BEN INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.16.37:
Well, I…I…first of all, that's a nice compliment. But honestly, I'm a messenger. I'm…we're all together, okay? We're all together…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY.
One of the…one of the…we’re…we’re all the same!
 
One of the things, and I really mean [it], I can't stress [it] too hard. You know, I was a big contributor. I gave to everybody. I would…; and I understand the power of that. You get tremendous power! And when you look at…uh…the electric companies; and the lumber companies, and all these…; and then you wonder why are we making such bad deals. A lot of times it's not that the politicians are stupid! Because you say, “how could they make such bad deals?”. They're making them because they're controlled…by the special interest, the donors, and the lobbyists! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
I know…I've had lobbyists. I…I know a lot of the lobbyists. Uh…I have lobbyists…I know lobbyists that can do anything! They go into a certain…person's office, and that person will vote badly for the country, good for the company, or country…! You know, when I say ‘country’ [I mean] other country. You know, other countries have lobbyists. I mean, they hire…to just drain us.
 
China…is taking so…much…money…and jobs, and everything out of our country. It's hard to even…fathom! If I cut that way, way back…; Carl Icahn just endorsed me. And other…the big…great businessman. They would do this…anyone! But they want…it's…for them it’s sport. They…you know, they love the country. In their own way, they'd love this country! And they wanna do great. They're great, great people. They're great people at what they do. They’re great at business. They're great at negotiation.
 
We have political hacks! We have people…that know nothing about negotiation. They got their job because they made contributions to some politician. And they have these people negotiate against China, who are…absolutely…I mean, these people are trained from the time they're…five years old how to…you know, do things. And they end up taking the…absolute best of the best. And we have people that don't know anything negotiating with them!
 
China…505…billion…dollar…trade deficit in one year. Think of it! How do you…how can a country even survive!?
 
Japan, smaller numbers, but it's a tremendous numbers. They send the cars in; we take the cars; we give them practically nothing, in return. So, what kind of a deal is this? We're gonna straighten it out, folks.
 
You know, when I first…uh, Ben…when I first announced, on…and was so exciting, but, it takes guts to run for president! You know, I've never been a politician before, but I see how incompetent they are. Or dishonest! Or influenced! I mean, I don't even know if I’d call the…the influence…really dishonest. But in a format…it's a form of dishonesty, to be honest with you. But when I first decided to do this, I said to my wife ,”look, they're making all these horrible…transactions”…they were in the midst of this…Iran deal, which by the way, wouldn't you thought…just once or twice, they should have gotten up and walked. They could have walked! They could have walked, and they would have ended up making a much better deal.

I tell the story all the time. I don't know if I should tell it now, but I tell the story on the Iran deal that…we got our hostages back. Those hostages should have been back years ago! They shouldn't come back…a couple of weeks ago. And what you do is you walk in and you say, “[we] gotta have our hostages back”.
 
They'll say, “no”. You leave.
 
You leave! And you…ratchet up the sanctions. And after you ratchet it up, they'll call you back within like…uh…two seconds. And they'll say, “you've got your hostages”. You've got your hostages. You get the hostages back.
 
Then the other part about the deal, we give 150 billion dollars…a hundred fifty…billion dollars! And by the way, the way me…we made the deal, it looks like a ransom, that they got 150 billion, [and] they let four people go. Okay? And you know, the whole thing is so horrible.
So now you go in for the seconds, and you say, “listen, we got a problem. The problem is…we owe 19 trillion dollars. We can't give you the 150 billion, I'm sorry”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. And you know what? They're gonna get angry as hell. They're gonna leave, and all that stuff. They'll be back in a week or two. We save 150 billion dollars!
 
We give…we don't know what we're doing! We have people that never once got up and walked away from the negotiation, and they should have walked away five different times. We have people that went into that negotiation, and it was reported all over the media, that they were dancing in the streets of Iran, burning the American flag and saying how stupid we were to make this deal. And Kerry never even walked! If somebody did that to me, if I'm making a deal and people are saying, “boy, what a stupid deal! This guy's really stupid! What an…”. This is what they were saying about us! I'm leaving anyway! Because…-THE CROWD LAUGHS-…I don't wanna feel like…I mean…you feel…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLADUS-…right?
 
And then you have the people over there. You know, the people that president Obama calls ‘the supreme leader’. I will never use that term. Believe me, I will never use it. But Obama…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS-…Obama talks about the supreme leader. Well, the supreme leader was over there. And what's he saying? We’re stupid! He said, “well, you have…; we might not make the deal…; we think this deal is…good, but we may not make I. We hate the American…”.
 
And I’m saying, “why are we dealing like this?”. What you do is you ratchet the hell out of the…sanctions, and you make the right kind of a deal. And you get the prisoners back for nothing! They could have had those prisoners back…in one session. If I did it, or if I had one of my killers from Wall Street, you have to pick the best people! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. You gotta pick the right people!
But…we had…this guy, John Kerry, is a total stiff, okay? He’s a stiff. We have…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I mean, these are people…honestly, in the private sector, you'd never hire a person like this! You never hire a person…! In all fairness, Jeb Bush…? You would never hire him in the private sector! Okay!? Too low energy. You wouldn't do it! But…some of you, about two percent are gonna vote for him, so I'm sorry I insulted him…-THE CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS.[paa3] 
MR. BEN INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.22.32:
 
Well, first of all, it was very interesting, cause the debate the other night…I was being hit from every angle. Even by the moderator: You know, where they’d say to Bush, “well, you know, Mr. Trump said this or that about brother in 2006”. You know, they're trying to start trouble, right?
 
So, I was being hit, and hit, and hit. And I was really happy with the way [it] came out. I mean, I would…I had to be very tough, because you know…you gotta do it. I'm…I’m being hit by Rubio at the end, because he said, “oh well, I agree with them”.
 
I said, “where did this guy come from?”. Here's a guy…I watched him…-THE CROWD LAUGHS-…it's true! I mean, he's…all of a sudden agreeing with Jeb! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. And I said…I said, Ben, I said, “where did this guy come from?”. Two weeks before, at the other debate, I watched him melt! He was melting! He was sweating! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. I thought he just got out of a swimming pool. No, it's true! …-THE CROWD APPLAUDS.  [What] the hell was this!?
So…so at the end…so, I'm…you know, so every…every different angle…; and I had uh, you know, the other guy just tells lie, lie, lie, lie…! And I say, “why do we…!?”. You know…? The good thing is I can defend myself, because I have a big audience. So, when somebody says like…I am…there's nobody stronger in the Second Amendment running than me. Nobody. Nobody stronger. Period. No, it's true! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
But…I have this guy…Ted Cruz, who's a liar. Now, actually Rubio called him a liar, so it's much better. When the senator calls another senator a liar…; and then, when a senator from Oklahoma, who’s one of the most respected people, say he’s a…you know, horrible…; I mean, you gotta read this, it just came out a little while ago. So, I feel I can do it. But…Rubio did it. When I say ‘Second Amendment’…my whole thing, it’s Second Amendment, it's get rid of Obamacare…he'll say, uh…“Donald Trump does not wanna keep the Second Amendment”. Not…now, how do you defend yourself against that? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
 
Every speech I say, “we have to protect the Second Amendment…!”. I've been doing this for years!
 
And he goes… “Donald Trump”…; he is…talking to some guy on a television show. And I'm watching: “Donald Trump does not like the Second Amendment. [He] Doesn't wanna keep it”. How do you defend yourself from that? So, at least I can talk about it.
 
He said, “Donald Trump loves Obamacare”. Donald Trump, from the day it came out, has been against it. And I'm repealing it! I'm gonna…it's gonna be repealed so fast, folks! So fast…! …-THE CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
But, here…here’s the thing…; and I really got the lesson in Iowa, because…what he did to Ben Carson, honestly…? …was a disgrace…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS. What senator…what Ted Cruz…what he did…what Ted Cruz did to Obama, where…he said that Obama had quit the race, and take our votes…right? Is that right? I'm Carson. Carson. Carson. He said…he said that Obama…Obama should’ve quitted the race. It would have been…-THE CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. Wouldn’t have that been nice? But he said that Carson…had quitted the race. That Ben Carson, who’s a terrific guy…that Ben Carson had quitted the race, and he's out. And he's gone. And take the votes, etc. etc. Okay? And I wanna tell you something: that is just dishonest. That is really dishonest. That was a terrible thing.
 
Then he voted in a…voter violation statement. And it looked like he came right out of the IRS. And it said, “you're in violation, bah bah bah…”. It, essentially, ‘go vote for Cruz and you won’t be in violation anymore’. But what he did, honestly, what he did to Ben Carson…was one of the more despicable things I've ever seen. I tell you what: these politicians are bad news, folks. They do things that are…pretty bad…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
MR. BEN INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.26.17:
 
Number one partner…it should have been part of the deal that Kerry made, right? The number one partner of North Korea, the Iranians! I mean, it's the…number one thing! And…the other one is China!
Now, look, I told you. China has drained the United States. It's one of the great thefts in the history of our country, what China has done to us. They've taken our money, they've taken everything, right? They've taken everything! We have lost millions of jobs because of China. China…here's the good news: China needs us so badly. China has…we have so much power, they don't understand it. We have so much power over China. And China…has real good control…over North Korea!  Now, they say they don't, because they like to taunt us, “oh well, we don't really have that much control”. They have almost total control. And you have to remember this: they've almost total control over North Korea.
 
We don't use that power! The power of trade is our power! Because they take so much money! Without…without that trade China would be in a depression the likes of which the world has never seen. All right? So, we have tremendous power over China. You know, everyone thinks it's the other way around. It's not.
 
The other thing is: Iran! Iran is their number one partner. It's the number one relationship. And here we are: [we] made that deal, where we give them all of that money, a 150 billion dollars. They make that deal, and what happens? I mean, take a look at it! We get nothing! Why wasn't that part of the transaction!? Because we have this maniac.

Now, with all of that being said and done, you have South Korea [that] makes a fortune. I bought 4,000 televisions. I buy televisions from South Korea. I buy air conditioning units…; I don't buy Carrier anymore cause they're moving to Mexico. I guess you heard that, right? I'm not…won’t buy anymore. I'm not gonna buy Carrier. Carrier is moving to Mexico. They're closing down. They're moving to Mexico. Forget it. And…and by the way, I hate to say it. Uh…they’re moving into Mexico…; they get rid of all those jobs. I saw those men crying. Those people [that] were crying. They hit their jobs, they didn't even know about it. Let me tell you something: I would tell Carrier, “guess what: you're gonna make air conditioners in Mexico? Good luck. When you sell them to the United States, we're charging you a 35 percent tax” …-THE CROWD APPLAUDS. “Every air conditioner [that] comes across the border, 35 percent.
And you know what? You know what they're gonna do? They're gonna say, “uh…if he really means that, we're not moving to Mexico, okay? We're gonna stay in the United States!”. It's crazy.
Uh…but we have…a tremendous…going back to South Korea, they make a fortune. We protect them! We have 28,000 soldiers on the line between North and South Korea. Think of it. 28,000 thousand soldiers. And…we…we…we’re taking care…; we are protecting them! They wouldn't be there if it wasn't for us. They pay us peanuts! Why are we doing this!? We protect Japan! We protect Germany! A lot of people don't even know that. You know that if Japan…gets attacked, we have to protect them. If we get attacked, Japan does not have to do anything. It's always that way. I…we…most…people…; do you know that we protect Japan? We get peanuts! [It’s] Like peanuts!
 
When you look at our military budget, it's…it’s much higher than anybody else's by a factor of many times. Like 10 times. Part of the reason [is that] we're protecting everybody. And we protect Saudi Arabia! Now, until the oil went down. So now they're making less, but they still make it a lot. Saudi Arabia was making a billion dollars a day. We protect Saudi Arabia! So why isn't Saudi Arabia paying? We have military bases that we pay rent on…to Saudi Arabia, okay?
 
We've got stupid people running our country! I mean, we have people that don't know what they're doing! Saudi Arabia's making a billion dollars a day. I know Saudi Arabia. I have many friends! They buy my apartment! So how can I dislike them, right? China too! They buy my apartments. They pay me numbers are very happy with them, okay? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. But…but think of it. Saudi Arabia…a billion dollars a day. And…without us, they wouldn't be there. They would have been gone a long time ago. They would have been gone a long time ago without our protection.
 
We…get…peanuts. It's gonna change, folks. It's gonna change! We have no choice. We can't owe…we can't have 19 trillion dollars in debt, because of the horrible omnibus budget. They call it ‘omnibus’. But because of the recent budget, it's gonna go up another two trillion dollars. So, we can't have 21 trillion dollars in debt, and protect Saudi Arabia, and everything we touch will lose money on! You know, we lose money on every single thing, except student loans. Student loans. And the poor students are getting killed. No, no the students are getting killed, by the way. It’s the only thing. It's practically…it's one of the…it's one of the few things that we actually make money on, as a government. But…which is, you know, the whole thing is ridiculous.
But, we have to change our whole way of thinking. Because otherwise we're not gonna have a country left. We're not gonna have…anything left.

Well, the cyber war. So…I mean, you're talking about a whole new form. You look at what's happening with us right now, where they’re…taking our secrets. Of course they're probably getting…you know, the emails of Hillary Clinton. Do you believe…? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. No, [Do] you believe that…? [Do] you believe that…?
 
I mean, look at the fighter. The f-35. The new fighter. And then all of a sudden, China comes out with a fighter…it's almost like identical! The color…you know, the whole thing. The shape is…like…I say, “what are you talking about!?”. Did you see the two pictures of theirs and ours? It's almost identical. They obviously got it, and supposedly they stole it from us!

Look, we have to be so careful…; we have to be so smart…; we have to be…; and you have areas right now, in South Carolina, where…cyber is gonna be a very big and important factor, because you have the key…; you know, in this whole country, this is where it's at! This is gonna be so important. And that's gonna be one of our most…cause…the world is changing! The world is changing! That's going to be one of our most important sectors right there. [It] Is…in the military way. The cyber…is so important.

Because you have to educate…your children…locally. I've seen it. You can't…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…you can't…you can't have bureaucrats from Washington. And…I'm sure some of them care, but…for the most part, they don't.
You can't have bureaucrats from Washington taking care of the education of your children. And I've seen local education, where…the parents are…on the school boards and everything. It's beautiful! Even when their children graduate, they stay, and…they…they have…there’s love! There's total love! The other way it's just a big bureaucracy.
And there's another reason, if you look. We are ranked number 30 in the world in education. We spend more money per pupil than anybody else by a factor…; you look at Denmark, Sweden, Norway, China…; these are the…places that…are really top of the line. But we spend…right now, we spend much more per pupil than any other country in the world. By…by a factor…where [the] second place doesn't even exist. It so far behind, okay? [We] spend more. And yet, we're number 30.
It's a little bit like…on the election. You know, in New Hampshire, which I won…by a big margin…uh…which was great…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They’re…those people are great. They were so great.
But, think of this: so, I spent…three million dollars. Bush spent 46 million dollars. I came in first. He came in toward the bottom of the pack. Wouldn't it be nice if we could do that as a country? Wouldn't it be nice? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…when you think about it.
 
And…so in education, we spend the most and we're doing terribly. We're way down to the bottom of the pack. And…uh…we can't have that. Education is so important. You know, the American Dream is never gonna happen, unless we have great…education. It’s so important.

We're gonna save it. We're gonna bring our jobs back from all over the world: Mexico…and from all over the world. And by the way, remember this, [and] remember I said. It it'll stop with me, but remember I said it: Mexico is the new China. You look at what's going on in Mexico. The big Ford plants all over the place. There was another article…! I talked about the Ford plant for two years! Now there's an article, two days ago, in The Wall Street Journal where Ford is doubling up…they're gonna have…many, many…more things are going down to Mexico.
We're gonna build the wall, believe me. We're gonna build the wall. [The] walls gonna be built…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [The] walls gonna be built. And…and…, who's going to pay for the wall!? …-THE CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’. [You] better believe that. And they are.
You know, the politicians come off the stage. They say to me…and they're nice people! They're fine. They said to me, “Donald, you know for a fact…I mean, give me a break. You know that Mexico is not gonna pay!”.
I said, “of course they are!”. We have a trade deficit with Mexico that's so massive…; the wall is peanuts by comparison! And I’m not even talking about the drugs that come pouring across the border illegally, because you wanna see real trade deficits. The drugs. We get the drugs, they get the cash. No good. No good. No good.
Uh…you know, up in New Hampshire, where they have an amazing problem…because you look at New Hampshire…it's so beautiful in the woods, and everything is so nice…! And even then, it was snowing. I said, “please, don't snow during the election. Please!”. So, it stopped. I got lucky…-THE CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. I said, “please!”. Cause you know, [if] it snows, you don't know. Maybe…I don't know. I think my people would come out, but you never know.
And by the way, speaking of that. On Saturday, will you please come out and vote, so we can…? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [It’s] so important. [It’s] so important. Come out and vote. We gotta do that.
You know what, with…with all of…everything that we're all working for…uh…we gotta come out and vote. And…and just win. And win big. The bigger the mandate, like up there we had a tremendous…; we’re 36 percent…which is a lot! And, you know, that was…a lot bigger than anticipated. Because we won by…I guess like 20 points. And…that’s a tremendous mandate. And when you can do that…; here in…and I’ll tell you, we have the same feeling here. The people here are so incredible. And…and I know the people here from long before…the whole electoral…situation. I've had…I have so many friends in the area! And…I love it. I love the place, but we have to come out, and we have to vote. Saturday is such a big day…! And if we can do Saturday, if we can do really well, we can literally run the table, and we can win this whole thing. And we can turn this country around. And we can use common sense…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…and make our country great again. And make our country great again.
So, but just a second…and thank you, I like that guy who stood up…-MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CROWD SPECIFICALLY AND THE CROWD LAUGHS.
But just a second on social security. So…you know, I see the other people, they were all saying, “you gotta cut this. You gotta raise the age. You gotta do all of this…”. There is tremendous waste, like at the VA. There's tremendous waste, fraud and abuse. And everybody wants to get rid of that.
But, we are going to bring all our jobs back. We're gonna build our economy. We're gonna become rich again. We're gonna become strong again. And we're not gonna cut Social Security. You've been paying into it forever. And it's unfair that you do it. And there's no reason to have to do it. And we're not going to do it. And I'm the only one that says that on this side, but we're not going to do it…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.

Well, we put in a very big policy paper, Ben. And it's really…what it is, is a massive simplification of what we have right now. Uh…you will not need H&RBlock ripping you off anymore…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. You won't need anybody. You're not gonna be paying a lot. It's simplification. The rates are much lower. We have four rates, and it's much, much lower. Middle class is going to be…as…as I told you before, [it’s] gonna be so much better.
We have a problem in this country. And the problem is corporate inversion, which the politicians know anything about, where we have corporations…you know, Pfizer is leaving for Ireland. I don't know if you've seen that. But, Pfizer is a major company! They're leaving for Ireland. Many, many companies are leaving the United States. For two reasons: taxes are too high. And the other one is they have billions and billions of dollars…two and a half trillion dollars to be exact, probably a lot higher than that. Two and a half trillion dollars…in other countries. They can't bring the money back in.
And it shows you how bad Washington is, because…every…single…it…it's an amazing thing! Every…single…politician, practically…Democrat and Republican want…they agree that the money should come back in. Who wouldn't agree? And they can't make a deal. That's where you need the leadership! You need a president who’s gonna sit them in a room, and just…grab them, and cajole…and…do whatever you do. And get it done! But…they're leaving to get their money!  They're leaving because they can't bring the money in. They’re leaving to get their money. Aand they're leaving for lower taxes.
We've gotta work on that fast, because we’re gonna lose a lot of our greatest corporations. When you lose Pfizer…and others have announced already! They're leaving the country! And they're leaving…thousands and thousands of jobs behind. Great jobs. Not the bad jobs that we're creating. We're now creating part-time jobs and bad jobs.
You know, when you look at those phony reports, they're phony reports. We're…we’re doing…bad, bad jobs. Lousy jobs. They are called bad jobs! They're lousy. And we're also doing part-time jobs. When you have companies like Pfizer leaving…those are great jobs! Those a high-paying, great jobs. Important jobs. And these people are all out of work! Thousands of people are out of work!
[The] same thing…I can say this with Carrier. You look at…when Carrier air conditioners moves into Mexico! You’re losing…I guess it was 1,400 jobs, at least, that they're talking about. But those are good jobs. And now what are those people gonna do! What are they gonna do!?
And by the way, what I said about Kerry before, I mean that. Unless you do something like that…; now you have the…the free market people. I call them in many cases the ‘not so smart people’, because…we all want free markets! But the markets have to be fair!
When China sends all that stuff over here, and…we send them a fortune of money…and we send stuff over there, and they won't accept it! I have friends that are manufacturers. You can't do business in China! They…these are smart cookies. These are great manufacturers. Great products. They send their stuff into…China, and they get sent back! And then when they do get in there, they have a huge…they call it a ‘tariff’. They have a huge tariff to pay! In China! We don't do that! It's not fair!
And then when China devalues, they’re the king of devalue. I mean, they…they do it like…great chess players. Like grandmasters. They devalue…their currency to a point…; they have it down to an absolute science. It makes it impossible for our companies to compete…! With China, Japan…has done an unbelievable job of devaluation. And our companies are having a hard time.
I talked about a friend of mine who's an excavator, and he always buys Caterpillar tractors. Now he just put in a massive order for Komatsu tractors. And he said to me, “they devalued the yen, Japan, to such an extent that I could no longer…”. He felt very badly! Cause he's always bought…it's a pretty big company…you know, company. They've always bought Caterpillar. Always. And now he's buying Komatsu tractors. And he feels bad! He said, “I never bought this before”.
I said, “are they good?”.
[He said] “Yeah, but they're not as good. But they're good! And they're good enough! But I had an obligation to my family, my company, my employees…to buy…where I could get the best deal!”. And he bought…Komatsu tractors because of the devaluation of the Yen.
And take a look at what's happened to Caterpillar stock. You know…we just have…leaders…that…don't get it. And we are getting killed on trade. I mean, if you think of it, [we’re] getting killed everywhere! We're getting killed on trade. We're getting killed at the border. We're getting killed with the military. We can't beat ISIS! Can you imagine telling…? The name was…you mentioned van…General Douglas MacArthur. Or General George Patton. Can you imagine telling them that we can't beat ISIS!? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. They'd beat ISIS in about…two days! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
But…you know, it's a different mindset. And it's…honestly, in terms of somebody that really loves the country, it's so…sad. That's why I'm doing this! It's so sad to watch!

Well, I'd be concerned about Boeing here, and…Boeing in the United States. Period.
 
First of all, Iran got all of this money. And did you notice where they bought their airplanes? About 118…you know, big aircraft. And guess where they bought them!? From Airbus. They didn't buy them from Boeing.
So, Iran…has this money that we just gave them. And now they are on like in a shopping spree. Like you go to the store. And they went to the store. And they went to Airbus, not Boeing. I don't even think they bid it out with Boeing! Because they don't wanna do business…; who would make a deal like this!? It's just sick! So, they bought 118 aircraft from Airbus, which is European. They went to Italy, [and] brought tremendous. They're buying missiles from Russia. They’re buying nothing from the United States. [They] shouldn't be buying missiles, anyway! Wouldn't you think!? But they're buying missiles from Russia. But they're buying nothing from the United States.
Now, here's where you have a little problem. Maybe…a big problem eventually. When…uh…China ordered airplanes, they made Boeing, as you probably know, buy…build. And they're building, a massive, massive, huge…aircraft plant in China! It's gonna get bigger, and bigger, and bigger. And someday, they're gonna come to you, unless I’m president, and they're going to say, “we're not going to…need your plant…anymore…in South Carolina. Okay? We're not gonna need your plant”. Because…we're gonna have a plant that's gonna be in China. And we're gonna devalue our currency. And we're gonna do all the things that they do, better than anybody else, because we don't have people that know how to play that game, because we're foolish. And they…they're gonna…take your business away, or they gonna take a lot of your business away.
So, Boeing has to be very careful, in terms of…actually you have to be very careful, more so than Boeing! But what China did is, when they took that, they gave them a fairly big order…not even that big of an order! But they gave him a fairly big order, and they wanted all built…they want massive plants built in China. And they have the intellectual property. They took a lot of secrets away that Boeing would never gave….and…give…and they took…; now, they’re gonna steal those secrets anyway! So, I don't even know [if] it's a big deal, cause they steal them anyway…-THE CROWD MUTTERSE. You know, you talk about cyber, right? They take them anyway. But they took them! This way they took them legally. At least they put it in a contract, all right? It's too bad Boeing has to do it.
But you have to be careful! Because China…is building a massive…you know, infrastructure, for airplane manufacturing. And someday you're gonna come, and you're gonna say, “you know, I remember Trump. He was sitting on the stage with a very handsome man, and…”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS-… “he said this was gonna happen, when Boeing announces they're gonna not build anymore…in South Carolina”. So, you have to be very careful. It's not that far off. [You] have to be very careful. And politicians aren't gonna understand this, folks.

Well, yeah, I think it would be automatically strengthened if…you know, I was the…Grand Marshal of the Israeli Day Parade a number of years ago, actually at a very bad time for Israel, when a lot of people…[it] was actually dangerous to do it. But I've had a very, very strong relationship with Israel. I have a great relationship with…the leaders of Israel. And…I think that…honestly? I don't have to do very much. I think if I win, they would be really…; I would have never made this…deal. This deal…I don't mind making a deal! But Israel is…is just…absolutely devastated by this deal with Iran. It's just so bad on so many levels!
If you look at what's happened with Iran, it's so incredible. Because, not only do they have this great deal. Now they have this big bundle of money. They can have all the nooks they want. And they're gonna cause nuclear proliferation. But, what else did they get even better? They got Iraq…that they've wanted forever! They'd fight, and fight, and fight! Back and forth…! Fight! Fight! They rest. Then they fight…because the two…militaries…were the same! They were the same power, basically. And they'd never get anywhere.
This would… goes on…I mean, all of the military people know exactly what I'm saying. It was like automatic. They stopped each other. Now, we've decimated Iraq. The…military. And Iran is got…we’ve taken everybody out. We can't even call them! We can't even make a phone call to Iraq. Think of it! We spend two trillion dollars; all of our great soldiers were…killed! And…so badly wounded…! We have nothing! We have…not…anything!
Iran is gonna take over. I mean, they've already…essentially, they've taken it over. But Iran takes over Iraq, with the second largest oil reserves in the world. Now they take over Yemen, but they don't really want Yemen. They want Saudi Arabia, because that's right on the line! You know, the Yemen line is…a big border with Saudi Arabia. They want…they don’t want Yemen! They want the oil in Saudi Arabia!
So…we…need…a different…leader! We need somebody that's respected…; we need a military that's much stronger…; we need a military that when we speak, we can really speak. We don't need…nuclear, where, I don't know if anybody saw the 60 Minute report, where they did…we should have never been allowed to go out! [they] should have never been…where the nuclear…we don't even know if they work. Did anybody see that report!? It was a scary report. [It’s] so bad! We are so far behind the times, militarily. And we have to strengthen it up!

We have to hit them hard there. And we're gonna work on that! You know, I told people! We can…we have to stop them at the internet level. And then we have to hit them so hard like they've never been hit, because we do have to end it.

Uh…Radical Islamic terrorism, and radical Islam…we have to find out what's going on there, folks. Because there's a bad…stuff going on there! Some really bad things. Like, the two people. The two people that were radicalized [INAUDIBLE]. They…they had bombs all over the floor of their…house. And…and unit. They had bombs all over the floor! Other people saw the bombs! Why weren't they reported!? Why weren't they reported!? People saw the bombs! It now comes out! Why weren't they reported!? They weren't reported because maybe people didn't mind if they were gonna do damage to the United States. Those people are just as guilty in a certain way! Okay!? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And whether it's dealing at the mosque level or any other level. If we're going to be smart, and if we're going to be sharp, we have to be vigilant! And…we are not being vigilant. And we have, again, a president…that doesn't wanna even mention the word! Or the words! Uh…you know, if he's not gonna say ‘radical Islamic terrorism’…he won't say the words! And you're never gonna solve the problem.
So, we have a problem. And you know, I called for a ban! A temporary ban! And people said, “oh, that's terrible”. Three weeks later, they said, “you know, that's a great idea!”. Because they're seeing what's going on! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And…and…and honestly, all you have to do is look at Europe. We…discussed this before, but all you do is…just…take a look at Europe. Look at what's going on over there, with the…tremendous crime wave. The tremendous problems…; uh…we just can't. We have enough problems in the United States without having that one. And that one's a beauty.
Somebody said, “well, we don't think it would be more than ten percent of the people that came in would cause trouble”. Ten percent! The two people…the two people that got married, and radicalized…I guess he was radicalized by her. Who cares!? These two people…! Look at the damage! Look at the horrible destruction! Two people!

We give it to people…to use, and the enemy captures our equipment, and they have better equipment than we do! We're fighting with older equipment! Like the Humvees.
You know, a lot of our wounded soldiers, our wounded warriors, they were…horribly hurt in Humvee accidents, where…you know, a mine would go off, and they…get their legs blown off…; their arms blown off…; they'd just be decimated. And it…with the newer…with the new stuff, you…you go up in the air, but you're okay. Okay? You know, these things are amazing! And if they're very strong. Very…very protective! The enemy has them! The enemy takes them! And we're still driving it around and stuff that's not protected![paa5] 
Uh…uh I just tell you this, Ben. If…you, people, go out, and if you do your thing on Saturday…it's so important. You're gonna be so happy. You're gonna be so proud of what's gonna happen with the country. Because some of its common sense. Like somebody said, “are you a conservartive!?”.
I’m now…I'm really a conservative! But I’m also a common sense person! I'm a common-sense conservative! You know…? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
But…some of…I mean, you know…and you know what I'm talking about. Some of the stuff is so…so out there. We have to be…I think it…conservative is great, but we have to be common sense conservative. We have to be smart! But…I…I can tell you.
First of all, it's an honor having so many people. It's an honor having those rooms all filled up. It's an honor having…thousands of people outside that couldn't even get in! And there's still probably on the bridge trying to get across. But, you know what? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS[paa6] . There is a movement going on out there. [I/It] was in the cover of Time magazine last week. There's a movement that's unbelievable. And it's almost like a movement of common sense, and business…; and heart too ! Because we have heart! We have to take care of our people! We wanna have housing. We wanna have education. We wanna have…borders. We wanna have all these good things, Ben. And…I'll tell you what.
 I think that, you know, in two years, and three years, and four years…hopefully you'll all remember this, because…you're gonna see things happen that are gonna be so much good! And…we're gonna start winning again, as a country. We are gonna win a lot! We're gonna win again as a country. And you can be proud of your country again.
So, I appreciate it very much! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. I appreciated the people.
