Wow! What a beautiful group of people! Happy! Healthy!
 
We're in Vermont, that air is so nice and clean. I’m breathing so much of that air! Thank you! –CROWD CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY. Than you, that is so great! That is so great…!
 
It is true, I got here and said, ‘I just wanna breathe that air’. I went outside, there’s like 20,000 people. We can't get them in! So you are very, very lucky tonight, I hope…right? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You’re gonna be very happy. They have a crowd that stretches, it must be 15 blocks…I've never seen anything like it. But we have…we do have big crowds everywhere. People wanna see our country great again. They wanna see a lot of positive things happen. And that's going to happen. We're gonna make it something really special. We’re gonna make it really special…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
We've been taking a lot of hits. We don't have victories anymore. You understand that, we don't! When was the last time? I mean, you look at what's going on…all over the world right now. Whether it's the Middle East, whatever it…by the way, you have people seat…you have seats? You don’t, you’re standing. I think they got rid of the seats…–CROWD CHEERS. They got rid of the seats, they gotta take…took some seats out, so we could get more people. Yeah, go down. Sit down! Sit down! Be comfortable…–CROWD CHEERS. Thank you man. Ah! Be comfortable! Be comfortable! Great people up here. It’s amazing, right? –CROWD CHEERS. No, it’s amazing!  
 
But…so, you know, I announced I was going to run. I couldn't stand…watching it…anymore. We used to have victories…we don't have victories. We're gonna have so many victories that you're gonna be bored of winning. You're gonna get so tired of it! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You’re gonna get so tired of it.
 
So…I always like to start…only if it’s good ne…news since…June 16th. You know, I announced on June 16th, and a lot of the pundits, you know, these are very dishonest people, many of them. I mean, some of these guys…some of these guys…are just brutal, and terrible. Oh, look at all the people up there too! Wow! What a nice group! –CROWD CHEERS VIVIDLY.
 
But they all said, ‘Oh! He's never gonna run; He's doing this for fun; he’s not gonna do it; he changed…he’s done it before…’. I did! I almost ran four years ago. I wish I did it! I really wish. Cuz that was…honestly, that was an election that could have been won and should have been won. But…hey, so we delayed it! Maybe this is better, okay? Who knows!? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
We've got a deeper into the abyss, that I can tell you. But…ehm…I think I’m very happy, because…in Vermont…okay? You know what these are, I love ratings. I get so crazy…I mean, these other candidates, ‘why do you always talk about ratings?’. Because I’m number one! If I were number two…–CROWD LAUGHS–…it’s true! If we’re number two, we don’t talk about the ratings, right? We don’t talk about the ratings!
 
But in Vermont, I'm not have won by a lot! Thirty-two percent…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…beating everybody. Very important. Very important. NBC did a poll, 35 percent, by far number one, killing everybody. I won’t even say…should I say who’s number two or not even bother? They’re so far…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…they say ‘no!’…–MR. TRUMP LAUGHS. I mean, they’re so far behind at all…I hope it doesn't matter! Today Reuters…! Listen to this one: 43 percent! 43! And –DID– you never notice? At the beginning…I'd come out, I started…you know, we started off, we started with nothing…ehm…Jeb Bush was actually leading, and then we found out he had no energy, and he went down the tubes…–CROWD LAUGHS AND CHEERS. No, we need energy! Folks, we need energy! We need energy!
 
You know, you had Jeb Bush; you had Rand Paul, he's like gone…! –CROWD LAUGHS. In fact, you won't make the stage. He said, ‘if I don't make…ehm…the main stage…’, I think he's quitting or something if he doesn't make the main stage. So it looks like he's not gonna make the main stage, so I guess that means…I'll tell you what, Kentucky's a great state. I can't imagine somebody's not gonna challenge him after the…horrible job he's done with this, right!? If I were in Kentucky, I would challenge him, I would run in the primary…and you would win! But…that's his problem, that's not my problem. We probably won't see him too much longer…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
 
But we've had a total now of 17. We started off the 17. One, by one, by one, they disappear. And everybody so far that's disappeared has taking on ‘Trump’! And you remember, Governor Perry, he was brutal. Gone! Right! –CROWD CHEERS. Lindsey Graham? Gone! –CROWD BOOS. Go ahead, Governor Walker, nice guy, gone! These are all guys…! You know, I feel guilty! Actually I feel guilty! And plenty of others…
 
How about Pataki? He had zero! Pataki, he had zero! Zero! Zero! Zero! I said, ‘at what point…? …you know, when do you leave when we have all zeroes?’. Right? –CROWD LAUGHS. They actually had him down once with a zero and the arrow to the left, which meant…ehm…less than nothing.  And I said…–CROWD LAUGHS–…I said, ‘I think it's a typo’, how do you have less than nothing?
 
So we lost a lot of very fine people. Really fine people. Meh…! …–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. Pretty fine people. And…it’s been an experience, because you know, when I…when I first came out, Ehm…I was watching the pundits say, ‘this is the finest field…of…talent…the Republicans have put on since World War Two’. They said World War Two! I said, ‘man, that’s bad, I’m running against all this talent!’. And then I said, after like a couple of months, they said, ‘re-run that, I wanna see, does he really mean that?’…but…cause we're gonna do so things that…nobody else to do folks. We're gonna fix his country, we're gonna make it so great…we’re gonna do things…that nobody else can do! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And…and…by the way, I have to say, you know, these are Republicans, and some of them I really like, and some of them I really respect. You don't respect everybody! You can’t respect…–MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING ABOUT THE WALL. MR. TRUMP RESPONDS–…we're gonna build a wall! Don’t worry about it! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…we…we…wait a minute! And who's gonna pay for the wall!? –CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’ –… ‘who's gonna pay for the wall!? –CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’ –… who's gonna pay for the wall!? –CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’ I’ve…I've never done it before, that's actually cute…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…I’ve never done…I swear! I’ve never done that before! That’s very funny! –THE CROWD CHEERS. MR. TRUMP LAUGHS–…I’ve never done it before! That was pretty cool, We’re gonna have to use it, and always be think of Vermont! –CROWD CHEERS–…when I use it! I’ll tell you…who’s not gonna pay for the wall? Vermont! Right! –MR. TRUMP LAUGHS.
 
So…it was interesting, because what we said, we're gonna come up here, a lot of people's said, ‘why? I don’t…’, most of the guys are not coming up, you know. They're afraid to come up here. Because it has a tendency to be…a little bit liberal? Pretty rough…–CROWD BOOS. Okay? No, no! And if you look at the candidates, they’re not coming here. I think I’m…I think I’m the only one! And I said…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…no, I think…! I think! And all over the network's tonight. You know what? All over the network. All of the places! This turned out to be different! I thought it would be how…be nice, soft evening…we’ll have 500, 600 people…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. We’ll sit around a little fireside, we’ll talk, we’ll have some fun. And then I hear, CNN, all day long, ‘this line is massive! This line…’. And they have a…you know, they line is so…! So it turned out to be good!
 
But I’m here for a different reason. I'm here cause you people are great. And…and everybody said it. And…I have…–CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY–…I have…friend who's…in my campaign, who's very much attuned to Vermont, HE–…loves Vermont. He said, ‘you gotta do it’. I said, ‘I wanna do it, let’s do it!’. And now I find out I'm the guy, and I think people are gonna remember that when it comes time to pull that little lever, okay? They're gonna remember…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They’re gonna remember!
 
So…on the polls. So we're winning with…ehm…with Vermont; winning with Reuters; winning with NBC; winning with Washington Post/ABC; winning with everything! I mean, honestly, we’re winning with everything! We're winning in Iowa, CNN 33 to 20…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY–…new poll. And very importantly, they have these polls…
You know, it's interesting. These politicians, they go out, and they hire pollsters. They pay them hundreds of thousands of dollars a month! No…you wouldn't believe the money! And I didn't do it! By the way, I'm self-funding my own campaign. Nobody's giving me money! Nobody! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Nobody! Nobody…–MR. TRUMP LAUGHS. ‘Look…’.
 
It’s amazing, the…the people really like that. You know, people really like it. Cuz I know the system. Who knows the system better than me? I gave very recently, you know, before I did this, 350 thousand dollars to the RGA, that's the Republican Governors Association. And…over the years I've given millions and millions of dollars to candidates, and I understand what it means. And…I’m not saying, ‘right’, ‘wrong’. But…you know what, when you give, and let's say you have a company. And you want something for that company…or a country! You're representing as a lobbyist, or a special interest. And you want something for that country, cause they pay you a fortune…what happens…–IS–… you gave millions of dollars, like Jeb! HE–…took a fortune! The guy took in 128 million dollars…! He's a stiff! How do you get that kind of money!? –CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
 
Although actually…he said some very nice things…about me, today. And…I couldn't believe it, actually! No, he spent like 10 million dollars in ads against me. But he said, I'm a…I’m a gifted politician. A…a…I said, ‘maybe that's not good, being a gifted…’. I wish you just said I was gifted, left the politician out…–CROWD LAUGHS. No, I thought it was nice! He said I'm a very gifted politician, I'm very successful, this and that’. See, now he is at…I would never say that about my opponent. I would say, ‘my opponent…has nothing going!’…–CROWD LAUGHS. ‘My opponent is horrible, terrible…’. ‘My opponent is the loser!’. We always say ‘loser’, right? –CROWD LAUGHS. You know, some words…but…but actually Jeb was very nice to me today. So I appreciated that. But…but there are some words…that…I went to an Ivy League school, I went to the Wharton School of Finance and a lot of people say…it's wonderful…some of the…the pundits. They say, ‘he's plain-spoken’. Plain-spoken! You know, I don't know…is that nice? Is that good or bad? I don't like it, actually. Plain-spoken! I guarantee I have a vocabulary better than all of them! Certainly most of them! I know I have an IQ better than all of them! I know that! –CROWD LAUGHS. But they say, ‘he’s plain-spoken’.
 
And then I was…I was saying the other night, you know, I was trying…to…describe…the stupidity that goes on. And I’d always use the word like, ‘they're incompetent’, ‘They don't know what they're doing’…but then you go back to the same word, ‘stupidity’. You say, ‘what is a better…word…to describe…what's happened to our country…? …what's a better word than the word ‘stupid’? ‘Stupid’! It's a ‘stupid’…! It's…we're being led by stupid people! I mean, think of it! Think of it! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I mean sometimes the words, they just come out…they’re the right words, they are the better words!
 
You look at what's happened. And take a look at this. Ehm…we have…a deal that we just made with Iran. One of the dumbest…–CROWD BOOS–…no, no think of it. One of the dumbest transactions I've ever seen. Now, the…the…between countries? Unbelievable. But I'm talking about anything! We did The Art of the Deal. Everybody have probably read The Art of the Deal, right? Most of you read it…who read it!? Who read it!? Yeah, almost everybody…–CROWD CHEERS.
 
So, they do a deal…they give Iran 150 billion…billion! …dollars. They have so much, it's so rich…if Iran were stock, buy it! Okay!? –CROWD LAUGHS. And by the way speaking of stock, you see the bubble, little bubble, starting to go a little bad, some bad numbers coming out, some really bad things…and you better be careful. Be careful. Be very conservative, because it could be very rough out there. And who can fix things better than me? That's what I do, I fix things…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…that's what I do! That's what I do!
 
But you look at the Iran deal. And…you look at…what happened, and the way it was made! And the…the points we gave up, and constantly! And we don't get our prisoners back! A hundred and fifty billion dollars, we don't get our prisoners back. We have four prisoners over there. We should get them back! And we should have had them back…–CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY–…right?  No, but we should have had him back three, four years ago. This deal is…first of all! A deal that goes that long, I mean…it's taking them…how many years that they've been negotiating!? Like three? Three and a half years!? And we'd walk in, ‘yes, we'd like this’.
They go, ‘no!’.
‘Oh, okay. You win’.
 
This went on for years, right? We got nothing. Twenty-four day periods for inspection. I love the one self-inspect. They have the right to self-inspect. Certain areas are really hot! In other words, that's probably where they make those suckers…–MEANING NUKES–…right? So they have the right to self-inspect. So they’re gonna do…
So we call up, ‘we understand that you're doing nuclear at this location’.
‘Okay, we’ll inspect it. We’ll call you back tomorrow’. ‘No, we're not doing it!’. This is the dumbest deal…that I've ever seen! We didn't get anything!
 
So…here's what happens. We have a hundred and fifty billion that we gave them. They are going to…now…and they just said, ‘we would like to start negotiating for the prisoners’. No, think of this: the prisoners should have been out three years ago. What you do…you need the right messenger, right? I could take…eighty-five percent of the audience, and you could have done a good job…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. It's true! Ten percent? No good. Five percent? Next. No, it’s true! Not everybody! Look! We have Kerry…–MEANING MR. SECRETARY KERRY–…in there, he’s one of the five percent, okay? –CROWD LAUGHS. No, he shouldn't be doing this!
 
You go in the first day, you say, ‘listen, we need our prisoners’, don't talk about the 150…billion yet. Cuz you don't wanna give them that either. You go in, you wanna get the prisoners out! And you say, ‘we wanna get our prisoners out. You have to let them out. They don't help you. They do help us’. Set a nice tone! A very nice tone! That's the word that Hillary uses a lot. She said she doesn't like my tone. My tone! By the way, they're chopping off heads of everybody in the Middle East, especially if you happen to be Christian. They're chopping off your head, she doesn't like ‘my tone’. You…if you can believe this…–CROWD LAUGHS. I don’t like their tone! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Crazy!
 
So you go in, and you say, ‘we gotta have our prisoners back before we start’. They’re gonna say, ‘no!’, because the Persians, you know, they're great negotiators. The Iranians, Persians…are great negotiators. So they're gonna say, ‘no! Absolutely not!’. We’re gonna say, ‘bye-bye!’. Now you leave…you leave the room! We never leave the room! How many times did we all think Obama was gonna leave the room? …meaning, get his people to come out. They go back to Iran, they tell everybody that we’re stupid, they're winning…that…this is it before the deals even done! Everyone is saying we’re stupid! When somebody says you're stupid, you don't do the deal! But they're marching in the streets, and celebrating a deal…that hasn't even been done! But I say…this! ‘We want our prisoners’. The…we say, ‘no’, they say ‘no’. And they're gonna say ‘no!’. Now you leave, you double up the sanctions. You sit back and wait for the phone call, right? They'll call you up within 48 hours, guaranteed. And they'll say, ‘we’ll give you the prisoners’, right? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, no this is the way it works! This is the way it works!
 
So…they give you the prisoners. So now you get your prisoners. You gotta get the prisoners…and not at the end! You get them out at the beginning. You get them out before it starts. And, all you had to do is…just say…and you will never get them in the first…session. They'll say, ‘no’, a hundred percent. I mean, 95 percent. IT–…might be they give them. But I doubt it. But you leave, and you double up, or triple up! And they say, and they’d say yes.
 
Okay! Now we have our prisoners back. Now you go back in, next statement, ‘we're ready to start negotiating. We wanna be very fair, but we will not give you the hundred and fifty billion. We're not gonna give you any money’. We get enough problems. We owe 19 trillion bucks. We…owe…19…trillion dollars! And we’re giving them a hundred and fifty billion dollars! –CROWD BOOS–…and we just tell them this! ‘Not good, right!?’. Hey! What could Vermont do with 150 billion? Oh…! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…no, we’ve made…we've made a ran a real power.
 
So what you do, is you say…you gotta get the prisoners out first, you don't mention the money. Because you know, when you mention the money, that now…it gets tougher. So now they say, ‘no we have to have that money’. We say, ‘you're not gonna have it! I mean, you're just not gonna happen. We don't have it!’. Claim poverty! We're a poor nation! We owe 19 trillion…the stupid budget that was approved two weeks ago! The stupid budget! –CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. No, how about that!? Did you ever see a budget approved so fast!? And that’s worth two billion, that's worth two trillion!
 
So…now we're going to be a 21 trillion…dollars…! Here's a budget…I don't get it! You know, the only one…cuz I think Obama is one of the worst negotiators perhaps in the history of the world, okay? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…No…Except…with the Republicans! With the Republicans, he's a great negotiator! With the Republicans, he does great! He gets a budget approved…I don't understand! He's got the money for Planned Parenthood! …–CROWD BOOS. He's got the money…think of it, he's got the money to fund Obamacare…–CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY–…which we're gonna, by the way, which we're gonna terminate, we're gonna repeal it…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and we’re  gonna replace it…with something much better.
 
DID–…you see your premiums? DID–…you see what's going on? your premiums are going up 25, 35…34…you…I…I see one going up 48 percent! 48! A friend of mine calls me up, ‘how's it doing?’; ‘Oh, this Obamacare is gonna…!’…48…percent! Your deductibles are through the…you'll never get to use it! You have to die to use it! You have to die…! …you need massive operations, you need like 40 operations on your brain…and maybe you could get something! –CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. No, the deductibles are through the roof. They're through…the roof!
 
Obamacare is a dead…duck…anyway, because in ‘17 it fails. Just my luck. If I win…I get Obamacare. It's gonna fail! During my…and then they'll blame me, can you believe it? –CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY–…they'll blame me. They’ll say, ‘Oh, Trump did a lousy job! Obamacare failed! If we had Obama…it wouldn't have failed!’. Well, it's failing of its own weight. And…numerous stories came out recently, where…by ’17, which is in two years, it's dead. It can't survive. Of course, the Republicans will probably find a way to keep it going. I'm so upset, and angry with the Republicans! –CROWD CHEERS.
 
We know…we know what we're getting with the Democrats. But the Republicans…they fall…here we finally have majority. So we have majority, majority, and we have…the wrong president, right? And…but the second majority doesn’t…it's like we're doing worse now than ever before! And now Obama…he's got so little respect…for…the Republican leaders, that he just goes along and signs executive orders for everything…–CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. No, no! It's all executive orders, because that's easy to do! I'll tell you the one good thing about an executive order…is that…the new president come, and with just a signature, they're all gone! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Okay? That's good. That's good! And they're gone. They're gone.
 
So…when you look at a deal like that; when you see what's happening with our country, and you see that…we're gonna change that! Now, as far as Iran is concerned, I saw what happened…over the last…few days, with the embassy, in Iran, the Saudi embassy. Folks, they wanna take over Saudi Arabia! Now, they've taken over Iraq, because we handed them that on a platter. I was against going in…and I am the most…and I said all the time! I'm the most…militaristic person…in this room…except for that guy with the hat. ‘Stand up! With the beautiful beard. Stand up!’…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. He's the only one. He's the only one. You're my guy, thank you. And you're my guy, I can…–MR. TRUMP LAUGHS AND THE CROWD CHEERS MORE VIVIDLY ALTHOUGH ANYTHING GOING ON HAPPENS OFF CAMERA. Do I know…? Do I know my people? And I'd never met him before! He just looks good to me! –CROWD LAUGHS. He…no, I said, ‘he's the only person more militaristic than I am’, okay? ‘And you are, you know what I'm talking about’. No. but I'm the most! And we're gonna make our military so strong, so powerful, so big, so good…so good! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…that nobody's gonna mess with us folks! But I'm the one that didn't wanna go into…Iraq! And in 2004, 2003, you'll see stories: ‘Trump said don't go into Iraq, you are gonna destabilize the Middle East’. Okay? I mean, say what we want. We spent…two trillion dollars…right? Two trillion! Two trillion dollars…wounded words, who I love. All over the place. I see them…so many! –CROWD APPLAUDS. Some of them so badly injured, and they have a better attitude that I have, and they have a better attitude than half of the people in the room! I…I…I mean, these are amazing people! Men and women! They’d…the…what they've gone through, and their attitude…!
 
And what I said is, ‘we take the oil!’, remember? How long have I been saying it!? ‘Take the oil’. For years! I've been saying…and they’ve been saying, ‘that doesn't make sense! You can’t…’. Now they're taking the oil. But then I take it, their bombing it…! …although Obama doesn't wanna really bomb it, because he thinks…it's going to create…air pollution, and be bad for the atmosphere. And this is a true story! –CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
 
What do you think of General Douglas MacArthur? If they said, ‘you can't really bomb the oil…because it's bad for the environment’. Do you think he might say, ‘I don’t give a damn!’, boom! –MR. TRUMP REPRESENTS HE WOULD BOMB THE OIL ANYWAYS. THE CROWD LAUGHS–…no, we need…we need…Douglas MacArthur; we need General Patton! We need people! We…need…people! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. These are great people. These were incredible people! These were people that won! They know how to win! We don't…we don’t have people that know how to win! We…need…people!
 
And you know what? In the service, we have…I know a lot about West Point, and Annapolis, and the Air Force Academy, etc. We have great people! We have great people! We let one of our best generals go because he had foul language! He talked too…you know, he had a lot of…you know who I'm talking about. He had foul language! And we let him go! And yet the people loved him! His soldiers, his guys, they…and women! They absolutely loved this guy. They want to fight for the guy. But he…he was very foul mouth. Who the hell cares!? We gotta start winning! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
We have…and I say this, we have an amazing situation. Because I see these generals are on television all the time. They’re always on television! I don't want generals on television! I don't want them! And then they’re saying, ‘what we're gonna do? What are you gonna…ehm…?’…–MR. TRUMP REPRESENTS THE JOURNALISTS. ‘We're gonna do here. And then we're gonna attack here. And then we're attacking here…’. Now, I figured, ‘it's camouflage’, right? And I figured they’re giving false…turns out to be true! –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
Or Obama…two months ago, right? We sent 50 people over…he thinks it's good. See? I think it's bad to send 50 people. Because…50 people! What the hell…–ARE–…we doing? But we're sending 50 people. So he announces, we’re sending 50 people! Now these are really our finest. There are 50…incredible guys, and I assume…women. These are our finest! And they're going off there, right? Why do we have to say that they're going there? Because now they have a target on their back! No, no, seriously! They have now a target. And the enemy is looking for them…–CROWD BOOS. THERE IS A PROTESTER IN THE ROOM. THE CAMERAS ZOOM OUT AND SHOW THE INCIDENT. Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Unbelievable! That was a very mild protester I would say! –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
You know what I love about the protesters? Oh…and I'll tell. Is that…what is that? Is that a camera? Is that a camera? Are you on my side or somebody else? He’ll…he's holding something up, and I hope it's a camera…–CROWD LAUGHS. He's on my side, I can see. He's…one of our guys…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…he's…he’s one of the good guys. But you know, like these protesters…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THEM–…they come in and the only thing I like about him, is that the…look at all those cameras back there. Look at all of them. Everybody's on television, but they never show the crowd. They never wanna show the crowd. And the good thing about the protesters…there won't turn them! In fact, I used to think…that…like…they’re fixed. It's a modern camera, right? So they’re fixed, you can't turn them. It's always on my face, right? And you've heard me say this before! They never turn them! And…what happens is…when you have a protester, the only time people learn how big these crowds are…cause we've got 20,000 in Dallas; 35,000 in Mobile; …in Iowa; in New Hampshire; We have the biggest crowds. South Carolina, we're packed! We're gonna be in Pensacola, Florida, next week. We're gonna have 20,000 people. We have…the…and nobody ever knows!
 
I go home, my wife…she said, ‘oh, you did well tonight. How was your speech? Did you have many people?’.
I said, ‘many people!? The place was packed…’…–CROWD LAUGHS–… ‘I had thousands! I had 15,000 people!’. In Lowell, Massachusetts the other night. You saw that…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We set a record in the history of the arena!
And she'll say, ‘did you have many people!?’. And I’d say, ‘why do you ask?’.
‘Because they never show the crowd!’. That's why I love protesters, because whenever there's a protester, you know I think they can't move the cameras, right? That they're fixed! They turn into pretzels; they can move them! –CROWD LAUGHS. If there's a protester behind and under the camera, it'll do a somersault. It’s unbelievable…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So…it’s true! That's true! –THE CROWD CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY. MR. TRUMP LAUGHS–… ‘we have a good time. We have a good time. Thank you. We have a good time’.
 
You know, we have a good time with a bad subject. Cause we don't have much going, right? We don't have much going…in terms of…and I always said…I…I tweeted it out today, @RealDonaldTrump, @RealDonaldTrump…–MR. TRUMP’S TWITTER ACCOUNT. It’s great. Five and a half million people. More…I have…more than 5 on Facebook…I have like all this. It's sort of like…owning the New York Times without the losses. It's unbelievable, you’d…–CROWD LAUGHS–…no, it's true! You tweet out, you have millions and millions of people…I mean, friends of mine, they do a book, ‘would you do me a favor?’.
‘What?’.
‘Could you tweet out that I'm doing a book?’.
 
So if I like the guy, or the woman, and they're doing the book, I tweeted, and all of a sudden…they become a best-seller. And then they don't talk to me anymore. They give me no credit! –CROWD LAUGHS. They give me no credit. But it is a powerful instrument. You know, we're dealing in social media, and we're getting a lot of credit for doing a good job with social media. And a lot of the voters…–CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY–…it's true! A lot of the voters…a lot of the voters are gonna be coming out. And it's…you know, it's been…it's been really amazing.
 
So just to finish you off with Iran. So, what we do…is…we negotiate properly! And I have the greatest negotiators in the world, wanna come with me. And Carl Icahn, one of the great businessman endorsed me, and many others. You know Carl…–CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. And they don’t want money! They don't want money! They want…to help. They wanna do something! You know, they've made billions and billions of dollars. They don't need to be paid, you know, a salary. Now we have negotiating against China…we have people that are political hacks! We have people…that gave money and they wanna be in…you know, in government.
 
And…I wanna pick the finest people. Some of them…get prepared, are not nice. They're bad personalities. But they're brutal, brutal, genius killers. I want them, right!? Don’t we…don’t you think…? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I mean, we lose…we lose…so much money on trade, and all of these other things. So…–MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE THAT MR. TRUMP DOES NOT EITHER SEEM TO HEAR–… ‘you're right’.
 
So here's what's…what's happened. And over the last…short period of time…I've been talking about…the deal with Iran, and I've been saying it’s one of the worst deals. But then I thought! It's even worse than I thought! Cuz I thought the hundred and fifty billion that they got…and all of the other things that they got. And they'll have nuclear proliferation all over the place because of that deal. And that deal is horrible for Israel by the way. Horrible! It's really horrible for the Middle East, but it's horrible for Israel…–CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. And Netanyahu…I don't know, he was having an…awfully hard time. I think…Barack Obama is the single…worst…thing…that's…ever…happened to Israel…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I really do that.
 
And then I said to myself, ‘okay, so they made this great deal. They made this great deal…’, and then I said, ‘you know, it's one of the greatest deals!’. I started thinking, ‘no, it's not!’. The greatest deal they also made…! …they made the two great deals. It's like a movie company. Like…you know, you take Marvel, where they have these great successes, right? They've got like 5 of the top 10 movies ever! Well, this is the same thing! Think of it: so they make this great deal…what else do they get? They got…they got Iraq! …–MEMBERS IN THE CROWD YELL SOMETHING IN UNISON. IT’S PROTESTERS. THE CROWD BOOS–… ‘Get them out! Get them out! Get them out! Get them out! Yeah, take them out, please! It’s fun, right? Get them out!’ …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
You know, it’s sort of fun. Isn’t this exciting!? You know, you go to a Hillary thing…and it’s like…boring! You go to a Jeb thing and you fall asleep. We had…we had…in New Hampshire, we had four thousand and five hundred…at one of the events. We had four thousand and five hundred people, Jeb had a hundred and one. He’s…–CROWD BOOS–… ‘are there any remnants? Any remnants out there? There…there may be some remnants. Oh, no, it’s only the same people coming down the stands. No, there’s a remnant, yes, he’s right there…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT WHERE THEY SUPPOSEDLY ARE. Okay…yeah, throw them out. Throw them out into the cold…–CROWD LAUGHS.
You know…–CROWD CHEERS. Don’t give them their coats, no coats. No coats! Confiscate their coats. You know, you can’t win…by the way, just to finish…I was…I…I had one word left, ‘Iraq!’. And nobody heard it because these characters…
 
So…they not only got a great deal, but they also take over Iraq with the second largest oil reserves in the world. They have it, sure as you're sitting there…they have Iraq! So we spend trillions, we spend all…and…and who's taken over…? Iran has taken over the oil, they taken over Iraq. I mean, what we are doing is so incredible! There's nothing like what we've done! We're destroying ourselves! We're losing our jobs; we're losing our base; we're losing everything! And it's not gonna happen anymore! It's not gonna happen anymore! It's not gonna…we're not gonna let it happen any…more!… –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…not happening!
 
Now, I will…and I will tell you, something about the protesters. And I respect what they're doing, but I…I really believe, unless they have a substance abuse problem, which is probably there…! …–CROWD LAUGHS AS MR. TRUMP POINTS TO SOMEBODY–…he does. He definitely does. No, I…I really think I could take him into a room, talk to him for 20 minutes, what are we doing? We want strong military, we want good health care, we want a great country, we want low taxes…I cut the taxes way down…! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…especially…for the middle class in business.
 
And…you know, I actually said! I said, ‘I could take these kids…’, most of them are kids…–THERE’S AGAIN A NOISE IN THE CROWD–… ‘oh, are they talking back? I don't even hear them! Their voice is so weak I don't even hear them!’ …–CROWD LAUGHS. ‘Okay, you can get them out. Yeah, get them out. Thank you darling!’. I love my people! They say my people are the most loyal of anybody! I can do anything! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They say…they…did you see? …–MR. TRUMP LAUGHS. They say, we have the most loyal…
 
I'll tell you what, I have the smartest people. They were trying to say, ‘well, our people are…’. Let me tell you: we have the smartest people! I'm really smart! My uncle…was one of the top people at MIT for years…! He was a privileged…! We have good stuff. We have great genes in this room. We have…smart…people. They get it. They get it. They really do get. It it's been an amazing…it's been an amazing journey for me.
 
–ANOTHER PERSON YELLING SEEMS TO INTERRUPT THE RALLY–…there's somebody shouting back there?  Oh, ‘I love you’. Oh, that's good…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. But…but isn't this more exciting, though, than these other rallies…? Where they’ve nobody…they have no protesters. Nobody cares. Nobody cares. They go in, everybody falls asleep. They say, ‘can I go home now darling?’. And everyone leaves, and the guy standing there, ‘please, vote for me’.
 
How about this guy O'Malley!? I mean, here's a guy…–CROWD BOOS–…no, think of it. His number one credential is that he was the mayor of Baltimore! Can you believe it!? –CROWD LAUGHS. And he…okay, so now he holds a rally, and one man showed up, did you see that!? It was one of the greatest…and he's sitting there talking the guy for an hour! Just the two people! Then the guy gets up, and he leaves, and the press says, ‘well, are you gonna vote for him?’.
‘No, actually I'm not’…–CROWD LAUGHS. HE–…spends…
I mean, he is…it's time for him to get out! It's time! Time for O'Malley to get out. He is really bad news! At least, Bernie is getting some action. He gets much smaller crowds than me, but at least Bernie gets some action, right? Oh, would I love to run against Bernie!? I would love…! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I would…oh! That would be a dream come true. But actually, I must say, I had my mind set on Hillary. I do have my mind set. I have my mind set on Hillary. I mean, it's just…it's just going to be…–MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE–…‘what?’. We’ll take her down. ‘What does that mean?’ That’s not nice. I got in such trouble! I got…how about last week? Did I get in trouble? What did I say!? What did I say!? I said nothing! But they…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE PRESS–…I did get…I did get in trouble! The crowd there was incredible too.
 
You know what happens? We have…amazing people! We have like these crowds! And they're all like interchangeable! We have great people! You go to the south; you go to the north; you go to the west; the people have one thing in common, the enthusiasm! The love of their country! They love their country! It's unbelievable! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…and let me tell you. Let me tell you something. It's going to be very interesting. I don't think we could be beaten. There's a momentum that we have. There's a momentum that we have…that is so unbelievable! I thought I heard a little voice over there! –CROWD MUTTERS. THERE’S A PROTESTER. All right, get him out! Take him out! Get him out of here! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You…don't give him his coat! Don’t give him his coat! Keep his coat! Confiscate his coat! …–CROWD LAUGHS. You know, it's about 10 degrees below zero outside…–CROWD CHEERS. No, you can keep his coat. Tell them we'll send it to them in a couple of weeks…–CROWD LAUGHS. All right. It's amazing. No, it's amazing. It's amazing.
 
But you know what? Sometimes we have…sometimes you go into 20,000, you have none of that. I knew I was gonna have some in Vermont, in all fairness! –CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. If we didn't have that, it wouldn't be Vermont! Right!? I mean, it wouldn't be! Hey! Why do you think the other Republicans are not coming up here folks. Okay!? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS BUT ALSO BOOS. I'm the only one! Why do you think!?
 
But it is it's a funny story. So…the first time it happened, it was a couple of months ago. And I was really…nasty. Cause…no, you know, look: I’m not getting there, we’re fine. But I will tell you one thing: We all like Bernie. Do we all like Bernie!? –CROWD BOOS. Okay. Well, if you wanna pay a ninety percent tax…I mean, he wants to tax you at ninety percent. Okay. So you don't like him, I wasn't sure, I had to feel that out. But how about…when the two young woman took over his microphone!? –CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. They came up, screaming at him, and he retreated. He went like…–MR. TRUMP TURNS AND WALKS BACK SLOWLY, MOCKING HIM BECAUSE OF HIS AGE–…and they made the speech for the rest of night! That won't happen with me! I promise! I promise! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I promise!
 
That was a terrible…I tell you what: it was so embarrassing to watch that. You know, cause he's a politician, he's from this country…when they took over that microphone that night…screaming at him, he was petrified. He walks to the back of the stage, with that tall guy, the goofus guy…–CROWD LAUGHS. He stands there, and they're both watching these two girls, speaking. And the crowd is saying, ‘give him back the mic! Give him back!’. And Bernie is standing…I lost so much respect to Bernie. That was terrible…–CROWD CHEERS. We can't let anybody take over our mic! We can't let it happen! –CROWD CHEERS. Can't let it happen!
 
So when I started this journey, and that's what? It was…on June 16th, in New York. I said to my wife, ‘you know…? We've gotta do it’. And I look down in that building, at Trump Tower, 57th and fifth avenue. And I looked down. And I saw more of those cameras than I've ever seen at one place. I have never seen any…the entire lower level of Trump Tower was cameras, cameras, cameras. Outside on the streets, they were closed…they had trucks…you know, they’d…the trucks, the equipment. NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX…everything! Networks I've never even heard of! I never saw so many networks! I said, ‘are there that many networks…?’. Every…it was…like the Academy Awards…–CROWD LAUGHS–…it was! It was like the Academy Awards, you all remember it. And everybody said, ‘he's not gonna run’. So you know, they were all waiting, but…I just said, ‘look, we gotta do it’, and I took a deep breath! And I said, ‘let's go!’. Cuz it takes guts to run for president, it really does! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, it really does! I mean, it's not something I had in mind…
 
Steve Burke, who’s a great guy, the head of Comcast, he came to my office, just before. He wanted me to renew for a lot of…episodes of The Apprentice. And but you know, it sounds a little trivial…we love The Apprentice! It sounds trivial, it's not! It's a lot of money! And then the deals I lose. And all of those…and plus, I love my lifestyle. And you know, now I’m driving around in an armored vehicle! I drive around in a vehicle! I say, ‘how good are those windows?’.
‘Sir, they can take 28, ak-47 bullets before they degenerate’…–CROWD CHEERS.
I said, ‘that's a hell of a window, right?’. And then I say, ‘how about the doors?’.
‘The doors are unlimited sir; they can take…’. And the bottom! And the top! You know, I'm driving around in an army tank! I'll never see a Rolls-Royce again! …–CROWD LAUGHS. No, think of it! I may never see…a car that I wanna be on again!
 
And they always put me in so fast! I'm going in! You know, it's a…a…whatever the hell they call them! And I… boom!, ‘get in!’. Boom!, the door closes! And when that door closes, I mean…we're talking about…the only thing good, if you ever get hit, nothing's gonna happen, I'll tell you that…–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
But it's been…it's been a really amazing experience. I…I mean, the best part of the experience is the people that I've met. The people in this country are so…competent! I mean, it's so incredible. And they're so enthusiastic…–CROWD APPLAUDS. And I mean that! I love the people! I love the people!
 
But I said to my wife, I said, ‘come on, we have to do it! We gotta do it!’. And I, literally, didn't know until that escalator…we've all seen the famous escalator ride down, right? Melania in a beautiful…white suit. And me, waving, ‘oh, hey!’…–CROWD LAUGHS–…I didn't even know who the hell I was waiving. And I came down, and we made a speech, and we talked about illegal immigration, right? Did I take heat!? Oh, did I take…!? Rush Limbaugh said he has never seen…so much…incoming to one person…it's true! I took…I've never…had anything like it.
 
And then two weeks later, it was sort of dying down, dying down…now…people are saying, ‘he's right!’. It's turned out to be right! It's now…I'm like…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…I'm like…all these guys are trying to catch me! And Ted Cruz, who I like…! …but, three nights ago, he was being interviewed, and he said, ‘and we will build the wall!’. He never said that! My wife said, ‘that gentleman's just said “we're gonna build a wall”!  He's gonna build a wall!’…–CROWD LAUGHS.
I said, ‘he never said that before!’. So they're all coming to me, and they're all…but nobody can do it like me. First of all, nobody can build a wall like me, that's for sure! Okay!? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I'll build it bigger; better; stronger; more beautiful…; and for less money! –THE CROWD BOOS. THERE SEEMS TO BE ANOTHER PROTESTER. ‘I love it!’. Get them out of here! Get them out! Come on! Security, move faster. We need security that moves fast. Come on security, go faster! Get them out of here! Come on, get them out! We gotta get security moving a little bit faster here. Come on fellows, they gotta move faster. We’re not dealing with tough hombres.
 
You know, I’ll tell you what has happened though. The first night…the first night…that I had…these characters. The first night…you know, I figured…it’s all…it’s all…theatrical, I said…cause I don’t want anybody to get hurt…meh…maybe…I don’t want anybody to get hurt…maybe…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. But I was rough. I said, ‘get them out of here now! Get them out! Get them out! I want them out now!’…–CROWD LAUGHS AND CHEERS TIMIDLY. And the guy was a rough guy, he was swinging, and the other guys were swinging…and my audience starts swinging…

You had guys, I don’t think they were ever to fight before! –CROWD LAUGHS. And you see them and they’re going like this…–MR. TRUMP REPRESENTS PUNCHING VERY WEAKLY AND CLUMSILY. THE CROWD LAUGHS. And I said, ‘Oh! Move that guy out, he’s gonna get killed!’ –CROWD LAUGHS. But you had them all over! But this was a rough guy, very, very loud. And I…you know, I figured I’d be rough and boom!, ‘Get them out of here! Get them…!’. Okay. I was criticized so badly! ‘It was terrible! He was so mean, and rough, and terrible!’. I was killed! Do you remember that? I was killed! And all I’m doing is screaming ‘get them out of here!’.
 
So the next time it happened a week later. And we had…protesters. And I said, ‘gently, please, remove them, please…’…–CROWD LAUGHS–… ‘be very gentle. Don’t hurt him, don’t hurt him!’. You know, the guy is throwing fists and fighting…and my poor guys I’m saying ‘don’t hurt them’. I…you know, my guy, one guy took a shot to the face, cause I’m saying…don’t…I said, ‘don’t hurt him!’. And in the meantime the guy’s got a black eye like you wouldn’t believe. So I said, ‘easy, don’t hurt him. Easy!’. I got killed the next day. They said, ‘Trump is weak. He is weak!’…–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
So you’re too tough, and too mean, or you’re too mean…you can’t win with this people! They’re so bad…oh, I hate them, I hate them, I hate them…–CROWD LAUGHS CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…I hate them!
 
So when I started we talked about…illegal...immigration. I talked about it…in front of all of these cameras, and we were very, very strong on it. And it worked out…and…it turned out I was right. Then as you know, I did something recently…cause we got problem, folks! We got problems! You take a look at Paris, you take a look to Brussels. You look at what happened in California. You look at what’s happening all over the world. You look at what’s happening in Germany! Now, I got…I’m in the cover of Times Magazine this week, can you believe it!? I’m on… –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…no, no…can you believe it!? No, no! Think of it!
 
I was on the cover like five, six weeks ago…and I was honored. You know, it’s still…look, we can…act…cool…it’s on Time Magazine, it’s on the cover, it’s pretty cool, right? You come from Brooklyn, you live in Queens, you work in Brooklyn…all of a sudden you’re in the cover of Time Magazine every couple of months. That’s pretty cool, right? –CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. Pretty cool.
 
But…so I was on a few…like two months ago. And then…today…I didn’t even know! I mean, this is when you’re really cool, right? I’m on the cover of Time Magazine, and they put it on my desk! It comes out tomorrow, go buy it. The story is good, so go buy it. If the story wasn’t good, I wouldn’t even be talking about it.
 
They put it in my desk, I said, ‘what’s happened?’.
‘Time Magazine’.
‘Oh!’. I figured…you know, somebody is doing a joke! How could I be in the cover…? I didn’t even know they were doing a story. So they did a story! It’s a great story! And it talked about winning…and it talked about the tremendous crowds we’re getting. And it talked about the tremendous enthusiasm. And it really talks about the fact that there’s never been anything! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…there’s never been anything like this!
 
But the amazing thing…! Think of this, I didn’t even know! Normally a reporter would call you, give them a couple of…like…you know, ‘this is what I think…’. Nobody even called me, I’m in the cover of Time Magazine! But what happened is…when it came to The Person of the Year…it used to be called The Man of the Year…what sounds better? The Person of the Year and…for the women! Only the women! What sounds better: Person of the Year or Man of the Year? They’re saying it…I’m telling you…–MR. TRUMP LAUGHS AFTER THE WOMEN HAVE YELLED ‘MAN!’. Man of the Year…the…the women are saying! The women are saying…the women are saying ‘Man of the Year!’. Is this the weirdest thing!? We’re…we have to be politically correct, so we’re gonna go Person of the Year…–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
So they have…Person of the Year. No, I mean…! Oh, there’s so much of this stuff, you have no idea. You have no idea. There’s so much…–CROWD LAUGHS. No, I mean, you just heard it…the…a lot of women, and they’re all saying, The Man of the Year. And I actually think it should be, personal. It just doesn’t sound…that good!
 
But…so…they come up, they’re…you’re in the issue, Person of the Year. Everybody said Trump is getting it…! …except me. Because I said, I’m too controversial. I’m not establishment, I’m not establishment…thank…goodness…I’m not establishment…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We’re gonna do something with the establishment.
 
You know the establishment, these idiots like Karl Rove and all these characters. They spend…–CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY–…they don’t know what they’re doing! Ehm…he was actually on the other day. I think I had like a 42…–PERCENT–…or something. And he said, ‘well, that doesn’t mean he’s going to win’…and even the announcer said, ‘really!? Tell me why not! You know, it’s…he’s…sure as hell he’s got a good start!’…–CROWD LAUGHS. No, the hatred is incredible. So I said, ‘there’s no way…that they make me…’. And I think I came in second or something. Second or third. And…they chose Angela Merkel…why!? …–CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. Because she allowed…millions of people to come into Germany…and Germany is now…Germany is now…in deep…deep…trouble. You look at what’s going on in Germany. They have problems like you wouldn’t believe! And you look at Brussels…and you look at all…

So I said, we have to do something! We have to figure it out what the problem is! We have to figure it out! Now, we have a president that doesn’t even wanna talk about it, right? Radical Islamic Terrorism. He doesn’t wanna talk about it. He doesn’t wanna mention the term. He doesn’t wanna use the term.
 
By the way, I have many friends…I have many friends, they’re Muslims, they’re fantastic people. But we have a problem! We have a problem! We have to find out…and we have to get to the button to the problem. We have to be able to solve the problem. We can’t have people fly airplanes into the World Trade Center! We can’t have people doing what they did in Paris. We can’t have people…doing what they did…recently in California. We have to find out! And we have to get back…to the basics, and we have to find out! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…we have to find out. We have to…we have to solve this problem! And it’s a very deep seeded problem. And there’s a level of hate...that’s so…incredible! We have to get to the bottom of it.
 
Now, these two people…these two people…that…killed 14 people, plus, plus…cause you have people lying in the hospital, very badly injured. But these two people…they had a…an apartment! They had pipe bombs all over the apartment. Other people knew they had…pipe bombs! Why weren’t they reported!? People knew what was going on! They had numerous people that knew…one of them didn’t wanna say because they didn’t wanna be accused of racial profiling. Do you believe it!?
 
Now, I know what that was. That was a lawyer saying, ‘listen: they know you knew…so what you’ll do is you’ll use racial profiling as a…as an excuse’. They didn’t want them say…they actually said! ‘Oh, we didn’t wanna call the police, cause we didn’t wanna be accused of racial profiling’. That’s called politically correct. That’s called give…me…a break. Give…me…a break! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So we’ve gotta get to the bottom of our problems! We’ve gotta…we’ve gotta, you know, we’ve become like…–CROWD MUTTERS. THERE’S ANOTHER PROTESTER IN THE ROOM–… ‘get out of here!’. Okay, security, move a little faster, please. Thank you, security. Yeah, get them out of here! –CROWD CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY. Yeah, get them out of here please. Go ahead, yeah, get them out, please. Get them out of here! Honestly? They’re very rude, but it makes for more fun of…it…isn’t it more fun this way!? I find it to be more…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
The other…the other gets boring! Here we have no boredom whatsoever. Nobody is falling asleep, right? Look at that guy with that beautiful woman! Nobody is falling asleep, right? All right, thank you…–CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
 
So, folks…we have to take care of people…and we have to have a big heart…–AGAIN THERE ARE SOME PROTESTERS THAT INTERRUPT MR. TRUMP. Are they out, security? Are they gone? Are they gone? Thank you. They’re so rude! They’re so rude! –SOMEBODY IN THE BACK KEEPS YELLING. You see, today, we have security people that are…you know…it’s hard. Ten years ago…they would have been on their ass, those people. They really would have had. Ten years ago, it would have been much tougher. This is what happens! And this is why we lose control of our country folks! This is why!
 
We lose control of our country…cause they’re afraid to do anything…the police who…who are these phenomenal people that are totally mistreated by the way, totally mistreated…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and they really are! They are afraid they’re gonna lose their jobs over stuff… ‘did you get them out of here? Get them out!’…–MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES SECURITY. We’ll get more…more angry as we go along, is that okay? –CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. And by the end I’ll say, ‘get the, the hell out of here…!’…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And then, by the way, by that time the security will be so tough and so nasty. And you know what’s gonna happen if that happens? You’re not gonna have any more problems! You’re not gonna have more problems! –CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
 
Did you notice? The first group, the security guys are going, they’re not my guys, but the first group, they’re going, ‘oh…ah…please, come with us…’, and they’re screaming… ‘please come’…all right. Second group…they’re a little. Now, the last time, they’re starting to get nasty! Pretty soon they’re gonna get so nasty that we’re not gonna have any protesting…you know that right? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So we have to solve our problems! We have tremendous crime problems…we have tremendous problems at the border…we have to solve our problems! And we are gonna make our country so strong and so great…
We’re gonna take care of our Veterans! Our Veterans…are…just…absolutely…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY–…treated…so…badly! Our…Veterans…are…treated…so…badly!  You look at the Veterans Administration, one of the most…corrupt…groups…people…anywhere in this country. Our Veterans…are…going to…the…it is what’s happened to our Veterans…these are our greatest people. They’re…being…treated…terribly. And we’re gonna change that! And we’re going to get it…changed. And we’re going to get it changed…quickly…and fast…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. THEN THE CROWD STARTS CHANTING ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY–… ‘thank you. Thank you everybody!’.
 
So when I started this…it was about trade with China. China is ripping us. It was about trade with Japan and Mexico, they’re taking our business, they’re taking our companies…Nabisco is leaving Chicago, going to Mexico. No more Oreos for anybody in this group…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY–…no more! I don’t want…any…Oreos…anymore. Nabisco leaving Chicago…! Building a big plant in Mexico, closing up…what…!? How does that help us!? How does that help us folks!?
How does that…!? Then they make, and they send their product…no tax, no nothing, boom! How does that help us!?
 
Ford! Two-and-a-half billion-dollar plant in Mexico. So they’re gonna do cars, trucks and parts. They’re gonna bring them over the border. They’ll probably be driven over the border by illegal immigrants, because it’s very inexpensive…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY–…no, it’s true! It’s true! –CROWD APPLAUDS. They’ll be driven over…they’re come in the border. Nobody is gonna check them! You know, we don’t have anybody to check them! Nobody cares!  And our country is going to hell! Our country is going to help! –CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. And it’s gonna stop!
 
And I tell people…and like using Ford as an example. You take Ford as an example. They go in…–MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING ABOUT THE WALL. MR. TRUMP RESPONDS–… ‘build the wall!’. But they go in…think of it! They build this massive…! You know what a two-and-a-half billion-dollar plant…!? We’re talking a one story…two-and-a-half billion!? Now, how many places close up in Michigan and other places…to get that done?
 
And I tell people! Let’s say…oh, this is impossible to imagine! Low-energy Jeb Bush becomes president…–MR. TRUMP NOW PLAYS HIM OUT MOCKINGLY THROUGH TONE AND GESTURE–… ‘hello, I’m Jeb…’…–CROWD LAUGHS. No, he’s afraid to use his last name, can you believe it!? ‘I’m Jeb with an exclamation point’…–THE CROWD LAUGHS. MR. TRUMP REFERS TO MR. JEB BUSH’S BADGE FOR THE CAMPAIGN: JEB! –…I said to him, ‘use your last name, I think you’ll do better! Actually I think you’ll do better!’…–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
But, look, but he understands what’s going on. And…he’ll say and…he’ll say, and they’ll say, ‘this is bad’, and he’ll say, ‘well, you know, let’s not do it’. Then what happens is…the people that gave him a hundred and twenty-eight million dollars…can you all!?... which is using, a lot of it, on negative ads on me! So far it’s had no impact, which is great…actually I went up in the polls! I don’t know what the hell…somebody is doing a bad job! –CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS.
 
But…those people gave him millions and millions and millions of dollars…they know the people at Ford! And they know other people! And they get hired, cause they’re lobbyists and special interests. They make a lot of money. And they’ll go to Jeb, or Hillary, or Marco…or any of them! Because every single one of them…is…borrowing and taking money. They’re taking money! Again, I’m the only one that’s not!
 
So they’re gonna go in…and they’re gonna say, ‘you can’t do that!’, because they know it’s no good We’re losing factories, we’re losing our jobs. They’re gonna have jobs, but the jobs are good for Mexico, not for…our country, right? So they’re gonna go and they’re gonna say like… ‘well…’, let’s say…Hillary…said, ‘it’s not good, we’re gonna end it’. She’ll be met with such resistance from the people that gave her the money…all this money to run. And one of them…will say… ‘you can’t do that. These people supported you. They gave you five million dollars!  You have to let that factory go through. You have to let them build that plant…’. Nabisco has to build. Ford has to build. They all have to build!
 
With me it’s different…okay? With me it’s different…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…with me it’s different. With me they’re gonna come in…and they’re gonna say, ‘President Trump…Sir…’…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS BECAUSE OF THE ‘PRESIDENT’ MR. TRUMP HAS UTTERED–…no, but they are gonna…–MR. TRUMP LAUGHS–…‘thank you’. They’re gonna say… ‘Mr. President, it’s really a good thing for our country’.
‘No, you know…!’.
‘Why!?’.
‘Because we’re losing jobs, and closing factories…that’s good for our country? Not good for our country’. Nobody’s gonna convince…you can go…you don’t have to go through high school for that! It’s bad for our country!
They’re gonna say, ‘it’s really good Mr. President…’. Okay. So after about two minutes I’ll cut that one off. And they’re gonna say, ‘we’re really…’. I’ll say, ‘no, no, no. We want…the plant…to be built…in the United States’. I don’t care where! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…I don’t care where! We…want…that plant…to be built…in the United States. And we want jobs to be…from the United States! And we don’t want cars built in other countries…like in Japan…that are pouring into in our country! Like…millions and millions of vehicles! Pouring into our country! Coming off, in the case of Japan…the biggest ships…I’ve ever seen! You go to Los Angeles, the cars are pouring off by the millions! And we get…what do we get out of it!? What do we get out of it!? No tax…no tax, no nothing!
 
So…the head of Ford will call me: ‘Mr. President, we would like to do it. We think it’s really good for the country’.
‘Oh, really? Oh, the answer is no’…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
He’ll then call me back, and I’ll say, ‘I want you to build the plant, but I want you to build it in the United States’. I guarantee you…! …I don’t need…anybody for this. This is too easy! I guarantee you, within 24 hours I get a phone call…saying… ‘Mr. President, we’re going to build the plant in the United States’. And you know why…? …–CROWD APPLAUDS–…because I will have told him…that… ‘if you build that plant…you’re gonna have a 35 percent tax for every…single…vehicle…that comes across the border…’. –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. ‘Every single vehicle! You’re gonna pay tax!’.
 
And I’m a free trader, by the way! I am a free trader…I believe! But you have to be smart! We need smart people to make these deals! We have such trade deficits with Mexico, with all of these companies…! I told you before with China!
 
Now, when we make business with China…they make product, and they sell it over here like…forget it. No…anything. Just come on in, no tax, no nothing…
They take Apple! They build Apple. And…my dream…is to have Apple…and companies like Apple…! …to build they’re factories here…instead of building them in China, And Vietnam and all these other places…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. That’s what I want! And we have the people that can do it! –THE CROWD STARTS CHANTING ‘U.S.A!’ REPEATEDLY.
 
You know, speaking of that, though. When you think…remember when we were…some of you are a little bit older, and some are very young, cause we actually have a young audience! We have it very young. But…we…some…so they won’t remember. But do you remember when we used to have the stickers ‘made in America’ ? right?…–CROWD CHEERS AND YELLS ‘YEAH!’. You don’t see that anymore! You don’t see it anymore! ‘Made in the USA’, Lester, …–MR. TRUMP TALKS TO MR. LESTER HOLT PROBABLY–…you’d see it…but it was all, ‘Made in America’. And when it said, ‘Made in Japan’, that was a bad thing! That was like a cheaper product, right? ‘Made in America’! …most…many of us remember that. We don’t have that anymore. We’re gonna go back, and we’re gonna have that again.
 
And you know what else we’re gonna have? …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You know what else we’re gonna have? When it’s Christmas Time, we’re all gonna say ‘Merry Christmas’…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY–…it’s true! It’s true! It’s true! We’re gonna say ‘Merry Christmas’, and we’ll go in those stores, we’ll go into those big department stores, and we’ll go into Macy’s, where their stock is just crushed…which I love, because they were so disloyal! I mean, you know, they were so disloyal. I love watching their stock go down…! From what…seventy-five to thirty-five or thirty-four…? I love it! I love it! No, so disloyal! Why!? Over what…? …Illegal immigration!? I mean, you know, they have…it’s just horrible.
 
But…you go in there, you don’t see ‘Merry Christmas’. We’re gonna see ‘Merry Christmas’ again. And we’re gonna have ‘Happy Holidays’, and we’re gonna take care of everybody. But we’re gonna see…‘Merry Christmas’ again folks! We’re gonna see it! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So with China, what happens…is…they bring stuff in here, no tax. We try and get stuff in there, I have friends that are in the manufacturing business…it is brutal! They say, ‘dealing with China is…impossible! Now, I love China, I love the Chinese people, I sell…apartments for millions and millions of dollars; I have the largest bank…in the world. Largest bank in the world. Chinese bank. In one of my buildings. THEY–…pay me rent. The rent is good, that I can tell you…–CROWD LAUGHS. Okay? I don’t have to…I don’t have to worry about the rent. But…China is great.
 
The problem with…Mexico! With…and Mexico is great! Thousands of people work for me. They’re great! Their leaders are too smart for our leaders. When the people are pouring across the border…? Mexico is sitting there, ‘oh, isn’t that too bad?’. And you know what? When Kate, beautiful Kate, got killed in San Francisco, by somebody that came over…five…times…! Okay? And when Jameel…was killed in Los Angeles. This young, incredible…African-American boy, whose father is a friend of mine. A great guy. The father is this…great guy. The son was the apple of his eye. Young boy, walking down the street, right in front of his house, going home to see his father. And he was shot in the face! Three times! By…an illegal immigrant, that wasn’t supposed to be here.
 
Or the woman…or the woman in Los Angeles, who got raped, sodomized…she’s a 65-year-old veteran. Raped, sodomized and killed. We gotta stop…and that’s peanuts…that’s just the beginning!
 
Now, I’ll tell you what. We have…we have something else going. You have a woman up in New Hampshire, who actually said, ‘I’m gonna vote for Mr. Trump!’. Now, DO– you know the woman that I’m talking about? Where she shot the guy that was attacking her! She carried a pistol…! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I love this woman! I love this woman!
 
So…she’s…feel somebody is behind her, because we’re gonna protect the Second Amendment folks, we’re have to protect it! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We have to protect it!
 
So…do you know Howie Carr? …–MR. TRUMP REFERS TO MR. HOWARD LOUIS CARR JR., AN AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE JOURNALIST HOST OF THE HOWIE CARR SHOW–…he told me about this story. And then I read it, and then I saw it. Howie is a great guy. He’s a fantastic guy. Really good! And I did his show, and he told me about it, and I went…I saw…I got that stuff…I said, ‘that’s incredible!’.
 
And…yeah, she’s…for Trump! I love that! I love…smart, tough, great people…being for Trump! I don’t want a lot of people! Some people I don’t want! Somebody said, ‘oh, so and so is not gonna endorse you’. I said, ‘I don’t want his endorsement! I don’t want it!’. This woman, those are people I love…! But she’s followed, and she feels there’s something’s wrong. SHE–…never uses it…–THE GUN. She has a…a…permit, to carry a gun. And the guy breaks in, she opens the door, breaks in…he’s coming at her, and she shoots him, it doesn’t kill him! It doesn’t kill him, which is good, actually! SHE– doesn’t kill him. But she shoots him, and he goes to the hospital. I said, ‘that’s so beautiful. That’s such a beautiful story…’, okay? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Such a beautiful story!
 
We need our guns! We need the guns! I mean, whether we like it or not, we need our guns! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS AND CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY.
 
You know, if in California…and I tell this all the time! If in California…or in Paris! You know, Paris is the toughest…place…in the world to get a gun. They’ve…the strictest laws, you cannot have a gun…unless of course you’re…a bad guy! A bad guy, no problem! You know, you just walk in with a gun, right!? No problem. But in Paris, the toughest laws…anywhere in the world they say…! France generally! So what happens? A hundred and thirty people…killed.
 
Now, think of it this way: they walk in, I call them ‘the bad guys’, I call them ‘the guy with the dirty hat’. These people…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS IN THE BACK–…were saying ‘the mastermind’. They call him ‘a mastermind’. And I’ve been talking, for two weeks, after that incident, and they don’t call him ‘the mastermind’ anymore. They say, ‘the mastermind of the Paris attack…’. The mastermind! He’s a slob! He probably has about a 70 IQ. He’s a dope! And you know what? …–CROWD LAUGHS. Let me…I…dope! I saw him! With the white hat that was filthy dirty. The press is calling him ‘a mastermind’. Then they wonder why our kids…are radicalized…over the internet.
 
The internet! They’re calling these people masterminds! What did he do!? He put a couple of people in these different places and they started killing people. That’s not a mastermind, folks. That’s a sick puppy, folks. That’s a sick puppy…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and we can’t call him…we can’t call him mastermind anymore!
 
But think of it! So you have these guys, they walk into a number of places in France…and they say, ‘Get over! Boom!; Get over! Boom!; Get over! Boom!; nobody had a gun on the other side. Now, if I took you, or if I took you…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN THE ROOM–, or if I took…a couple of these people in this room, and you had a gun strapped to your ankle or strapped to your waist…I’ll tell you, it’s a whole different outcome, right? It’s a whole different outcome…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’s a whole different deal! You don’t have a hundred and thirty people…you don’t have a hundred and thirty people…you…you’d have…bad stuff happens, but at least and we’re shooting back, and we’re going down shooting, and…you know what? …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And…nobody can dispute that. And when I have…debates…with these people…and by the way, they said I won all of the debates. Can you believe it? I won all of the debates! I never did it before! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. All of the…all of the online poll…Drudge, Time Magazine, Slate…all of them…PBS, they all say ‘Trump’ won the debate. Can you believe it? Then I go home, and I watch, how did I do? ‘Well, he did okay, not so great, he did okay…’…can you believe it!? –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
And then my numbers go up…I went up last time 11 points right after the last debate. I went up 11 points! Can you believe this!? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And I didn’t even know, ‘would I be able to debate…?’. Who the hell knows!? I get these politicians; all they do is talk! I create jobs! All they do is talk all day long! And they’re not very good debaters, are they? Really!? They…they’re not too good! –CROWD LAUGHS. Anyway…!
 
So…when you look at it, and if you…if you had people…with some protection…even if you had four or five people in there…it would be a whole different story. And people…cannot…beat you…at that! I…I’d deal, you know, coming from New York, and they wanna get rid of the guns, and they always wanna get rid of the guns…! And I talk to them. And I had these debates in front of people. And I win after like two minutes, it’s over! They can’t beat you in that debate! They can’t! And then I call them the next day, ‘so –DO– you agree with me?’.
‘No, I don’t. No, I don’t.
 
Look, if we would have had guns…on the good guys…in California. If they would have had them in Paris…if they would have had them…how about the military base, where five…great…soldiers…–CROWD APPLAUDS–…two of them…were…world…class…soldiers…–CROWD CHEERS. Two of them! And one in particular…was one of the…! I mean, he was a…triple A! This guy was one of the greatest soldiers…! And they were on the base. And they have a gun…free…zone…on the base. Who ever heard!? Gun…free…you’re in a military base! They have a gun…free…zone.
 
Now, you know what a gun-free zone is to a sicko. That’s big! That’s like, ‘gun-free zone!’. And they they walk in with whatever the hell they’re carrying…and these five…great…soldiers…and…I’m telling you! One of them was one of the most highly awarded one…he was super…shot…every…he’s not allowed to have a gun! All five are killed. Instantaneously. And you have other cases!
 
I will get rid of gun-free zones…on schools…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and…you have to! And on military bases…my first day, it gets signed, okay!? My first day. There’s no more gun-free zone…I mean, think of it! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. A gun-free zone…a gun-free zone on a military base, with some of the best guys we have…sitting there, relaxing, watching television…no gun…! A–…guy walks in, kills all of them, okay? That…ends…immediately. We’re going back to sanity in this country! We’re going back to strength in this country. We’re going back to intelligence, and we’re going back to common sense.
 
We’re going…to make…America…great…again. Greater…than ever…before! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I love you! I love you! Thank you! Thank you!
 
Thank you everybody!
 
Thank you!
 
Thank you everybody!
 
Thank you!
 
Thank you everybody!
