Ah, thank you very much!
 
Wow!
 
Whoa!
 
Whoa!
 
Unbelievable!
 
What a place, what people! There is a movement going on, folks. I hate to tell you –CROWD CHEERS. People have not seen anything like this…and…you know, I'd like to think it's me, but I think it's the message. It really is the message, it’s…so important you –CROWD CHEERS…and I say it all the time. We don't have victories anymore. We're going to have so many victories, oh! You're gonna get so tired of victories! In fact, nah! We'd never get tired of victories, right? We’d never… In fact, you know, ehm…you probably saw it, Saturday Night Live. Did anybody watch? you –CROWD CHEERS. Yeah, so they set a…tremendous ratings. I mean, the ratings were…like through the roof. You heard, right? Oh, the media was so disappointed at those ratings! –CROWD LAUGHS. They were dying to say… ‘Trump bombs. The show was a disaster. Nobody watched…’, but it was…even the pickets they all left…a half hour earlier they went home to watch the show! It's true! –CROWD LAUGHS AND CHEERS.
 
You know, if you watched…and…and…I’ll tell you what, I love the Hispanics. My relationship is so great. We're gonna win with the Hispanics. We're gonna win you –CROWD CHEERS. But…but you know, I watched the news…before Saturday Night Live went on…and it was incredible. Really. An incredible experience. And the whole thing. There was an electricity…you people all felt it. I have the same electricity tonight. This is incredible! –CROWD CHEERS.
 
But…but I turned on all of the major newscast. I have this beautiful Lorne Michaels…great guy. He has a television set up. I'm sitting there, watching television, right? And…I'm getting ready to go on. And all day long they're –THE PRESS- broadcasting, ‘tremendous galleries of people are there protesting Trump being on Saturday Night Live. It's unbelievable! It's incredible…! ’…so I said to one of my guy out there, ‘how bad is it?’. I said to him. He's right here, Keith. I said, ‘Keith, how bad is it? He said, ‘Mr. Trump, there’s hardly anybody there, it’s like 27 people!’. you –CROWD LAUGHS. It’s true! And all day long…I'm hearing. And you know, you could tell, because they didn't use the wide angle lens you –CROWD BOOS. You understand. It was focused, like there’re four people in the middle. It's true you –CROWD APPLAUDS. And I could tell…! I said…you know, I think they're really misrepresenting. The media really does misrepresent. That I can tell you.
 
So…we sent him out, and…and it was a small group. But the funniest thing was they did leave early, and I hope they enjoyed the show. I'm sure they did! And then they –THE PRESS- said, ‘five thousand dollars to anybody that says certain negative things about Trump’. And who did it!? Our man! That was pretty cool, right? Hard to believe I wrote that script.
 
But I thought it was quitting so we had a great time and they saw Hillary tonight –CROWD BOOS. Anybody ever hear of Hillary? Hillary! Hillary! And you'll be happy to hear that, head-to-head, I beat Hillary very easily. Isn't that nice? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Very nice! Well, we have to. We have no choice.
 
So Hillary…they said, ‘you know when you did Saturday Night Live, four weeks ago…that was the opening show. That traditionally would be their big show. And she had Miley Cyrus, who's I think is terrific. And I had SIA –BOTH MILEY AND SIA ARE MUSICAL ARTISTS-, but, SIA is not…I…I love SIA but, you know, I would say that Miley…would have an advantage, would you think? You know, with ratings. So Hillary had Miley Cyrus, supposed to be…you know, the biggest star other than Trump–CROWD LAUGHS. Kidding. No, no, my wife feels that though. She said, ‘you do not realize you are the biggest star anywhere in the world. You do not realize this. You do not realize’ –CROWD CHEERS. And I said, ‘really!? You mean it?’. –MR. TRUMP PLAYS OUT MELANIA AGAIN- … ‘you are bigger than anybody. You are bigger than Tom Cruise, you are bigger than anybody’. And a friend of mine said, ‘now, I know she's really smart’, Right? By saying that. Because I'm happy.
 
But…it was very interesting. Because…ehm…we were talking about Hillary today. And somebody said, ‘her performance wasn't that good. Because she was…mispronouncing words, especially when…’, you know, she mispronounced some…a couple of words…and stuttered a couple of times. And all she had was one little sketch! I had the whole evening, and I didn't stutter once! Right? I didn't stutter once! –CROWD CHEERS. And I got really good reviews, except from a couple of people that gave me the review before they saw it. You know, there are some…they wrote up the review before they even saw me. One published it slightly before I went on. That's how I know! That was a fact! –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
But we got great reviews, we got great ratings. It was a lot of fun. And I think it made a point and, it was sort of cute. I think one of the popular sketches…well they like the dancing, right? –CROWD LAUGHS. But…but one of the popular sketches was when the President of Mexico, -MR. TRUMP STARTS NOW PLAYING OUT THE SKETCH: ‘Mr. Trump’… ‘Enrique!...’. –CROWD LAUGHS AND CHEERS. ‘Enrique!...’. And he comes in, ‘I have a check for you’–CROWD LAUGHS. And I said, ‘Enrique…!’…it was for 20 billion dollars, right? ‘Now I can do it for seven!’ –CROWD LAUGHS. So I said, ‘no, no, no this is too much Enrique, I don't need…’. ‘Oh, Mr. Trump, no. We need this’. Now, what did he say? He said, ‘walls build friendship!’ –CROWD LAUGHS. Now, that was sort of a little fun. But you know what? Walls will keep friendship. Because we won't be ripped off so much once we build that wall, and that wall is going to get built –CROWD CHEERS. Gonna get built.
 
And…I love Mexico. I love the Mexican people. I have thousands of Hispanics that work for me,. Tens of thousands over the years! They're great people. But I will tell you this…–CROWD CHANTS ‘Trump!’ REPEATEDLY. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES THE CHANT. ‘Thank you folks. Thank you’-MR. TRUMP LAUGHS. But I will tell you…and you know the politicians that we're running against…they don't have a clue …–CROWD KEEPS CHANTING ‘Trump!’. MR. TRUMP SHOWS HIS THUMB UP IN APPROVING AND ADDRESSES THEM: ‘Thank you’.
 
But you know, what's going to happen is Mexico is going to pay for the wall! I will tell you right now! …–CROWD CHEERS. They're gonna pay for it. Because they've been doing a number on us. Their leaders are much smarter, much more cunning than our leaders. Our leaders don't have a clue. They do not have a clue! And they're really…far more cunning……–CROWD CHANTS ‘We want Trump!’ AND BOOS AFTER, APPARENTLY, SOME PROTESTERS INTERRUPT. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES THE ISSUE. ‘Get out of here!’…–CROWD CHEERS. You know what that was!? I thought they were yelling in favor of Trump! Then finally I realized…not working so well. It said, ‘feel the burn’. That means Bernie –MR. TRUMP REFERS TO THE DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE BERNIE SANDERS. That means Bernie! –CROWD BOOS. All right.
 
Now…now think of this think of this: first of all, a couple of young women…took over the microphone from Bernie a month ago. Right? They took it over, and he was like this… ‘huh…’ –MR. TRUMP MIMICS HIS WALKING AS AN EXHAUSTED OR OLD ONE. He is not stopping ISIS, I will tell you. And Hillary…is not stopping ISIS, I can tell you that. Hillary…is not strong enough! She's not tough enough! She's…no way she's gonna be able to do it! And there's always problems with Hillary! You know? It's always a problem! It's always a problem! But they're not gonna be able to do the job, and that I can tell you. And Bernie…had his chance during the debate. And he said, ‘the emails…oh forget about the emails…’. Now he's trying to take it back! And look! If we had honest government Hillary wouldn't be allowed to run in this country! Wouldn't be allowed to run! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You know that.
 
People are in jail right now…for doing five percent of what she did, and the Democrats are not gonna prosecute her, and it's frankly a disgrace. And you know it, and so do I. And so do these people right here. They know it –CROWD CHEERS. And you better remember! There's a six-year statute of limitations on that crime. So Hillary is running for a lot of reasons…one of them…is because she wants to stay out of jail–CROWD CHEERS. Because I am sure….and first of all, everybody gets a fair shake with me. But I am sure…whoever…the Attorney General is. You know, got a lot of years left on that crime. That's a crime.
 
General Petraeus…got two years’ probation…and he was somebody that everybody liked…everybody respected…what she did is so much worse…and I will tell you…that if I win we're gonna look into that crime very, very seriously folks –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Very, very seriously. It's a real problem. And now she saying to herself…she's watching right now. And she's saying to herself, ‘man I better win!’. –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
So we have to make our country great again. We have to do it. We're gonna make it so good. And we're gonna make it so strong…and we're gonna take back trade from China–CROWD CHEERS. And we're gonna take back trade from Japan…and from India. And from all of the countries, all of whom I respect. Almost all of whom I have a very good relationship with it. I've done deals! But we're gonna take back our country, we're gonna take back our jobs…we're gonna take back our manufacturing…–CROWD CHEERS-…and we are going to bring it back!
 
We have…right now…close to a hundred million people…you talk about labor participation? The worst has been in 36 years! We have a phony number, when you hear 5.2 %, 5.3…if it was five point two percent…this room would be empty practically…other than…! …we don't like what's happening with ISIS…we don't like what's happening with everything!
But…if it was 5.2 –PERCENT- I will tell you right now, this room would be half empty instead of having set a new record, and having beaten my friend Elton John! Can you imagine that!? –CROWD CHEERS.
 
Well…it may have been Elton, but I will tell you. One of the biggest said, ‘you get the biggest crowds of any human being on earth Donald, for somebody without a guitar’. You know what that means. In other words, for non-musician.
 
So…we're gonna bring it back! You know, you have a case, that I've been talking to. Not so far away. A very nice place called Chicago. Do we love Chicago!? Yes! Right! Right!? Okay!? Bah…bah…-CROWD STARTS BOOING-…bah…bah…okay. Love it or not, it's ours! Right!? Right!? It's not another country. So Nabisco is moving, as you know, their big plant. They're gonna move it to Chicago…right now! It was just announced. They're moving it into…out of Chicago…and they're moving it into Mexico–CROWD BOOS. DO- you believe it? DO- you believe it? And I tell people, I'm never eating an Oreo. Tonight in the plane they had Oreos. They may be the last made in this country, but I wouldn't eat them anyway. Because the threat is there. So they're moving Nabisco out. They're moving forward to Mexico. Boeing is building a big plant in China. All over the world we’re building plants. All over the world were losing…and all over the world we build plants. In China…! …think of this. We have a trade imbalance…of almost…400 billion dollars a year! Can you imagine!? Can you imagine if we could straighten it out!? Could you imagine if I could get that down to…and I'll promise I'll do better than this. But could you imagine if I could get it down to a hundred billion here in losses!? In losses!? –CROWD CHEERS-…where we saved three hundred billion!
 
Now, let's say we break even, cause we wanna be nice. But we have rebuilt China! We have totally rebuilt. You go to China, they have…bridges like the George Washington Bridge, like…many, many bridges…all over the place. Going up, left, right…all over. What do we build here? What do we build? What do we build!? We build nothing! And I said it. China, what they've done to us…is the greatest theft…in the history of the world. It's true. They've taken our jobs. They've taken our money. They've taken our base. They've taken our spirit…people graduate now from college. One of the biggest questions I get when I go around. Our students…! They go to college, they do well…they borrow money, up to here –MR. TRUMP POINTS TO HIS NECK-…they get through, and they can't get a job! And now they owe money…and this…the country…! …wants to go after them! The country wants to go after these kids. And what is the country done? They've given jobs out to everybody else.
 
Today I read…and I have Starbucks…they’re my tenants! Did you read about Starbucks? No more ‘Merry Christmas’ on Starbucks. No more –CROWD BOOS. I wouldn't buy! Hey, look! I'm speaking against myself! I have one of the most successful Starbucks in Trump Tower. Maybe we should boycott Starbucks. I don't know. Seriously! –CROWD CHEERS. I don't care. By the way, that's the end of that lease, but who cares? Who cares!? Who cares!? But today, a big story…that Scott…Starbucks is taking ‘Merry Christmas’ off. No more ‘Merry Christmas’. I will tell you. Lots of big things, lots of little things…you could call this anything you want. But have I become president, we're all gonna be saying Merry Christmas again. That I can tell you. That I can tell you. –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Unbelievable! Unbelievable!
 
Now, you know, some of the candidates running…including Hillary, the other day…I mean…can you imagine Hillary bring president…!? –CROWD BOOS. Can you imagine!? You know, she's a little different person. She got a little burst of energy…because she figures she's not gonna be indicted. She got through the Benghazi hearings…what that was all about!? I don't know why they didn't go after her. But she got through those hearings. I blame the Republicans for that, to be honest with you. Ridiculous. And now she's got a burst of energy. But it won't last long. Believe me. It won't last long. Because the energy is not a natural energy, and it's not going to last long. And you can't have it.
 
So the Zogby poll…just came out. Very highly, respected Zogby poll, 10 minutes ago. Just before I came when I said, ‘good, I can mention a new poll!’. And it was ‘Trump’ leading 30, Carson 17, despite all this stuff going around about him…–CROWD CHEERS-…and everybody else much lower than that. That's good! That's good! –CROWD CHEERS. Just happened. Zogby! Zogby! One of the good ones.
 
So Hillary mentioned…recently, and so did Jeb Bush, but I don't mention him anymore because this is not working out –CROWD LAUGHS. You know, I'll tell you a little secret. So we had him in a really rough line. And we had him in a rough line on Saturday Night Live. It…the butt of the joke was Jeb. And because I'm so nice I said, ‘you can't do it. It's too mean. Too nasty. Too nasty’. See!? How nice am I!? –CROWD CHEERS. It would have been the best crack of the evening. Would have been the best joke, and I said, ‘take it out’. But Hillary said she said, ‘good for you’-Nice. Right? See? Right? I didn't wanna do it! In fact, actually we've tried it out…and everybody said, ‘oh, just leave the guy alone’. We said, ‘let's take of it…’. But he’s…he's not doing too well. He's not doing too well. And he’d…he's been defined. Now I have to define a couple of other people –CROWD LCUAHS. And it should be easier, actually. I mean, it should be easy with what…what's going on with this election. I've never seen anything like it! People are getting away with murder! I never saw anything like this! You say anything about anybody! And the poll numbers go up. No matter what you do! If you try and hit your mother over the head with a hammer…your poll numbers’ go up –CROWD CHEERS. I never saw anything like it!
 
Now I haven't seen that yet. But…you know…probably…that's gonna happen. No, it's a…weird…a lot of weird things are happening! This is a strange election! Isn't it!? Man! You stab somebody…and the newspapers say you didn't do it! And you said, ‘Yes I did! I did it!’. ‘No, you didn't’. ‘Yes I did! I stabbed him, and then I hit the belt!’. And they said, ‘you didn't do it!’. If they said I didn't do, it I'd be so happy! –CROWD LAUGHS. This is the only election in history…where you're better off if you stab somebody…what are we coming to? And other things! And other things! What a crazy things are happening out there!
 
But Hillary said, ‘I don't like Donald Trump’s tone’. You don’t like my tone. You know, I built a great company…and…I actually have a great temperament, for success. I have a great temperament. I will tell you –CROWD CHEERS. And…I don't like being ripped off, like we’re being ripped off. I wouldn't sleep. You know, I’m not a big sleeper, like three hours, four hours…I toss and turn, I think…pi, pi pi…I wanna find out what's going on. And you know, I’m the only one I'm self-funding my campaign. I'm putting up my own money, right? Right? –CROWD CHEERS. Except for the little donations, where they send in fifty dollars, and seventeen dollars and twenty-eight dollars, and even…a few hundred dollars. But I'm funding…because how do you send back…? A woman sends a check for seventeen dollars, send it back! You can’t! And also, that's really an investment in the country. It's an investment in a campaign. There's no influence peddling…I can't be bought for seventeen dollars –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
But we have amazing people! But…and that doesn't amount to…relatively speaking, doesn’t amount…but I'm the only one that's self-funding my campaign. I'll put up a lot of money. In fact, we just started with radio ads. Did anybody hear the ads yet? They’re good! You know? I think that why should we go fancy!? Let me just talk. We got a mic, I spoke: ‘we will do this. We will do that. We will defeat ISIS. We will build our military strong. We will take care of our Vets…’ –CROWD CHEERS. Right. ‘I don't believe in Common Core, I want local education’. –CROWD CHEERS. Right. Right? I believe in the Second Amendment. I wanna be able to protect myself –CROWD CHEERS. I wanna protect myself! I wanna repeal and replace Obamacare –CROWD CHEERS. I didn't say this in the ad, but a couple of extra things…I mean…I wanna have a country…and it sounds a little strange at first, but when we talk about it…
I wanna have leaders that are unpredictable. I don't want leaders…saying, ‘we are sending 50 men to Iraq! We are sending 50 men…to Syria!’. Why don't we just send them? Send them! Send them! Now they're being bountied. They're being hunted. Like dogs are being hunted. Because we have a president…that wants to show how tough he is, by sending 50 men. So everybody over there…they're not babies. You know, they're not the JV that this guy thought they were. Okay? Remember the JV? ‘They're the JV!’. Well, they just knocked down an airliner. They only say it's ninety-nine point nine percent that’s them today. This is not that JV. But why would we say…at a microphone, ‘we just sent 50 men…to Syria’. –MR. TRUMP ALLOWS A PERSON IN THE CROWD SPEAK AFTER HE’S HEARD THEM YELL-… ‘he's what?’ AFTER THE PERSON REPEATS THEIR CALL, MR. TRUMP NEGATES WITH HIS HEAD AND CONTINUES.
 
When we had Iraq…and I was against going into Iraq. And I was against it since a long time, and I was right. And the White House said ‘people’. Because I was…I guess I get a disproportionate amount of publicity. I made a statement, it was in Reuters, like in 2004. It was in one of the big magazines, in 2003: ‘don't go into Iraq, you’re gonna destabilize the Middle East. And Iran is gonna come in and take over Iraq. Iraq has these incredible oil reserves, number two in the world. Don't do it! And you'll have other bad things happen…ISIS…you'll have other bad things come in. Don't do it!’. And I am by the way, the most militaristic person in this room. And you have some serious…believe me–CROWD CHEERS. Believe me. You know, one of the things I tell people…I will build our military so strong, and so powerful…that nobody's gonna mess with us. We're not gonna have to use it. We're not gonna have to use it –CROWD CHEERS.
 
When general Odierno left…a couple of weeks ago, I saw him in television. All these guys are on television! I don't want my generals on television! I don't want them on television! The word ‘unpredictable’…I wanna be unpredictable! But when General Odierno left, he said something that frankly he shouldn't have said, but he said it. He was being interviewed. He's leaving, and he said, ‘our military right now is the least prepared of any time...’, and I think he said since the beginning! But he could have said since the Second World War. Either one of which! Can you imagine!?
 
Now if I'm Putin, if I'm China, if I'm this wise guy from North Korea…that nobody even talks about! You know, it's interesting! He has nuclear weapons…! We go after Iran, with one of the dumbest deals in history, right? One of the dumbest –CROWD CHEERS. No, one of the dumbest. But they don't talk about the guy in North Korea, who actually has…nuclear weapons. We've got 28…a 28 thousand soldiers, sitting there, on the line, between this maniac and South Korea. And I say… ‘South Korea…’. I order my televisions from South Korea. Unfortunately, we don't make them here. Right? You have no choice. Doesn't make me a bad person. I order thousands and thousands of televisions from South Korea…! …for hotels, for all the things I do. They give us…like relatively…they give us nothing! We protect them! We protect…you know, Saudi Arabia, before the oil went down…now it's gone down. But before it went down…they were making 1 billion dollars a day. So let's assume now they make…a lot! More money than this country will ever be thinking of. Why do we protect? I'm all for Saudi Arabia.
 
Now, I didn't like that when the World Trade Center came down. The scum that knocked it down sent their families all back to Saudi Arabia, and then we attack Iraq! I wasn't actually thrilled with that! But why is it!? Why is it…that we protect Saudi Arabia? …we get nothing! We get nothing! Why is it that we protect Japan!?
 
Now, Japan is an economic behemoth! They send cars by the millions! If Japan is attacked…we have to defend them…to the end. This is the kind of agreements we make. If we're attacked…Japan doesn't have to help us at all. Right? So we protect Germany! I had no idea. Don't forget, I only became a politician four months ago –CROWD LAUGHS. But I'm a very, very fast learner. I'm like the world's fastest. I am really a fast leaner. We protect Germany! We're protecting…
When you talk about an economic monster, take a look at what they sell. Take a look at what they make. And by the way, why she –MEANING ANGELA MERKEL-…took all of these folks from Syria. This could be one of the great Trojan horses of all time. And you know, in Germany right now, the German people are rioting! The crime is unbelievable…they never had a problem! The German people…Merkel! I always thought she was a hell of a leader! And then about a month ago I said, ‘is she crazy!?’. And in this country, our president wants to take in 250,000…! …new people –CROWD BOOS. And I have a heart! I have a heart…believe me, bigger than his heart!
 
But when I look at the migration, and the migrant…that…they…look at that big, they call it the big migration. And you too, right? I see all these strong guys! They're all young…and I say why aren't they fighting for their country!? Why are they migrating? And I say, ‘that's a weird thing, right?’. I see all of these people, and they’re young…and I don't see a lot of women, I don't see a lot of children…I see these young strong men. And I'm saying, ‘what's going on!? That's a strange deal! That's a strange deal!’. So when I was asked, about two months ago, ‘what do you think about it? …would you take in 3000?’. Now, at that time, 3000…all right. I said, ‘I guess, so do we always have to do it? Do we always have to be the suckers!? I guess’. MR. TRUMP REPEATS THE PROCESS PLAYING OUT THE PRESS ASKING HIM- … ‘well, what about 5,000?’. ‘Oh! I guess!’. Then all of a sudden, a week later I've been hearing 25.000, 50.000…now I’m hearing the number is 250,000 people…!–CROWD CHEERS. These are people…that don't have documents, that don't have papers…we have no idea where they come from…they may be ISIS…and they probably aren’t! You know the old story of the Trojan horse. Could be the ultimate. This could be the great Trojan horse of all time. So it's gonna cost us over a ten-year paid. Billions of dollars! I saw a report. I couldn't believe it. Billions and billions of dollars. They've got to learn our language, we've gotta set up schools…are we crazy!? And by the way, the Gulf states, some of the wealthiest countries in the world…they will take none! None! They won't put up money, they won't take them…and here we are…we owe 19 trillion dollars…and we're going to take in 250,000…people –CROWD BOOS AND CALLS OUT ‘NO!’. It's so sad. I mean it's so sad!
And then I look at a guy like Rubio, who's very, very weak on illegal immigration…he was a member of the gang of eight. That meant ‘come in’. You know what the gang of eight was? ‘Come in!’. ‘Come in!’. ‘Come on in!’. He was a member of the gang of eight, very weak. And by the way, so was Carson! Carson wants to come in, and he wants to let the people come in. Can't do it! You can't do it folks! We can't take it! Our system can't take it! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
These are people…with no experience…these are people that never met a payroll. These are people that have never done it before. And they don't know what they're doing! Who they don't…I don't care! ‘They'll do well…’, … ‘they get a nice smile…’, ‘…they look good…’. Everyone tells me Rubio's a wonderful speaker. I said, ‘really!?’ ‘Tell me why’. ‘Tell me why!’. He's a wonderful speaker…he's actually a nice guy! I don't care if he's a nice guy! Honestly!? I don't care if he's a nice guy. Remember what he was doing the message to the president? Remember the…thing? With the water. This guy gets the greatest press! So he's…you know, sweating and sweating, pouring sweat –CROWD LAUGHS. Now, the president had just spoken…right!? And he's doing the message! There's a big thing. They selected him! I think because he was young. So they selected him! And he's talking I noticed, I say…man is he sweating!? And then all of a sudden, ‘and we will fight and we will this…’ –MR. TRUMP IMITATES RUBIO GETTING THE WATER BOTTLE AND DRINKING, THE VIRAL SCENE. And it wasn't out of a glass, it was out of a bottle. I don't know, maybe got paid for the company that had the pot…I don't know. It’s the weirdest thing!
 
And then they said, ‘oh did he did such a great job’. I said, ‘oh, he did?’. Some people are…lucky…or something's going on. Or something's going! Then explain it to me! Now, the last debate…people said Rubio did right…
Now, in all fairness…! …every single poll I won, that I did the best. Okay? –CROWD CHEERS. I don't know! I don't know! I think I did well. NBC, CNBC said I won, in their poll. CNBC! If CNBC, after the disgraceful job they did, said I won. But you had Drudge, who's great. You’ve Time Magazine…I certainly don't have any influence over them. And you’ve many of them. And you had NBC, said I came in third. I was very unhappy with that. But it's sort of interesting, because I watched Bush and Rubio…going at it. And I heard Bush…just kept it…honestly? I did…other than he quitted at the end…right!? You can't quit! He gave a decent statement about Rubio…that he never shows up to vote…you know, he is elected a senator. He's supposed to like…-MR. TRUMP PLAYS OUT WHAT HE THINKS MR. BUSH SHOULD DO-… ‘I like it’, ‘I don't like it’…but Bush gave a decent…little preamble. Rubio responded. No great shakes. Wasn’t like earth-shattering. And then Bush didn't say anything. And that was the problem! That won't happen with me! Believe me –CROWD CHEERS. It won’t happen. That won't happen. Because Bush just got…absolutely slaughtered the next day. And I think it was his lack of response. And you can't have that, you know, you can't…that’s why you need high energy! Not low energy, right? –CROWD CHEERS. We need high energy.
 
So we have people that I'm running against…and honestly…? I have to say what I have to say. You know, I have to be honest. I'm a straight shooter. And I think to a certain extent…that's why I'm doing well, and to a certain extent…that's why I draw more hostility that anybody else. Because…I don't care. I don't care. The country's so bad now. It's doing so poorly…on so many different fronts, that…whatever it is, it is. They would like me to be more politically correct. I went to an Ivy League school. I'm like an intelligent person. I can be so…correct…that even the correct people would have said, ‘man, he is the most elegant human being I've ever seen’…-CROWD LAUGHS. But we don't have time! We don't have time! Like ‘anchor babies’, you remember? The reporter he said, ‘you know, “anchor baby” is a very derogatory term’, in a news conference. I said, ‘well…what would you suggest I say?’. He said, ‘the child…of an undocumented immigrant…who happened to be born…on the wrong side of the border…’. I said, ‘no thank you’…–CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. And you know…true…remember that deal? …the reporter…someday I'll tell you what his name was. But, we can't have people coming up. We're talking about hundreds of thousands of people a year! And from all over the world! From all over the world they come. And they get born…they're born here! And now for the next 85 years, we're all taking care of everybody.
 
And you know, if you have…is…this is true. If in Mexico, as an example…and this doesn't just happen with Mexico. But if you have a baby in Mexico, they'll give you a few days to recover, and you're the hell out of there with the baby. If you wanna become a citizen of Mexico…it's one of the hardest countries in the world…to become a citizen of. One of the hardest! I couldn't do it! Well, maybe, I'm very good at that stuff …–CROWD LAUGHS. But maybe. But you know, you go to Mexico, and you're there for a week. And you have a pass for a week…! They come up and see you at the end of a week: ‘are you prepared to leave Sir?’.
 
A friend of mine was in Mexico. Nice guy, nice family. They came to him a day before, the police: ‘are you leaving tomorrow Sir?’. ‘Well, I need some…’. ‘Well you'll have to apply’. Hey, by the way, I'm not saying that's wrong! That's the right way of doing things! That's the right way of doing things! …–CROWD APPLAUDS. With us…people come in, they stay for the rest of their lives! We’re stupid. We have stupid people leading us! We have incompetent people …–CROWD APPLAUDS. No, no! We have incompetent people leading us. And we can't keep doing it. We can't keep doing it.
 
You're at 19 trillion, but you heard the report today, with unfunded liabilities and all the other problems…you could be at over 60 trillion dollars…I don't even want to say it! But you could be at 60 trillion dollars! They're talking about all the unfunded liabilities. So we have…got to get this election right. We can't go with these politicians, all talk, no action. Don't know what they're doing. Don't give a damn about anything but being re-elected. That's all they care about! It's all they care about! And some of them are nice! I mean, they're nice people! Ben Carson said the other day that, as far as Medicare is concerned…now Medicare works! There's waste, there's fraud, there's abuse…we can take care of it, largely. But Medicare works! And he wants to abolish Medicare! How can you…how can you possibly be popular if you wanna abolish Medicare? It actually works! Would anybody mind losing Medicare in this audience? Huh? Right?  You can't do it! You can't do it! Too many things involved. And…the things that do work, we wanna help…we wanna hold on to it.
 
So what happens is…in the next election…I believe…it's going to be…the most important election…certainly within the last hundred years…that this country has ever had …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I really believe it.
 
And we have so…many things to do. And we're gonna do them! And we're going to do them right! We're going to straighten out the country. We're gonna run it…and I don't even wanna say as a business, because…we have to have heart. We have to have heart. But we're gonna run our country properly. And we're gonna be proud of our country. And we're not gonna let China take all of our jobs and business. We're not gonna let them. We're not gonna let them –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
We're not gonna have websites that costs five billion dollars, like Obamacare. Everybody forget about it. You forgot about it. We're not gonna have a website that cost five billion dollars…and to this day doesn't work! And we're not gonna have a plan…where our president lied to us 28 different times…by saying ‘you can keep your doctor. You can keep everything. You can have whatever you want, just to prove it’. And he makes it right on the button. Because Democrats had voted for Obamacare would have never done it. Except he lied! And then the Republicans did nothing about the lie! I'm…I’m almost…and I have to say this. I'm a Republican, I'm a conservative guy…but I'm a Republican…I'm almost more disappointed in the Republicans than I am in the Democrats –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Because…the Republicans say, ‘we're gonna go and fix. And we’re gonna this…’. And then I tell the story, and I've seen them! I've supported myself. I support so many people. So I don't even know who the hell they are! Bing bang, checks, ying, ying, ying, ‘who’s he?’ ‘Where’s he from?’. ‘He's a Republican’. ‘Okay –MR. TRUMP PRETENDS HE GIVES MONEY AWAY- good luck’. They go down. They go down to Washington. And something happens to them. You've heard me say it before. Right!? They're really…-MR. TRUMP PLAYS THEM OUT-…‘we're gonna stop Obamacare. We're gonna this, we’re gonna that. We're gonna be great!’. And then they walk into that gorgeous…The Capitol, and they see that beautiful ceiling, the vaulted ceiling…that now is scaffolding all over, but these are minor details.
 
But they see these beautiful halls, and these beautiful columns. And they're with their wife, ‘look darling, we finally made it. We finally made it’. And now it's time to come up with a tough vote, on many things! On budget! Did you see the budget…it was passed like in two seconds! The budget! And they go, ‘yes. Oh yes! Yes! I…please don't ever take me away, from these hallowed halls!’. Something happens to these people. I promise you…it will not…happen to me! I promise! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
Just a couple of things. I have…I talked about this Iran deal only because to me…it's maybe the worst contract. Forget about deals between countries…or whatever. It could be the worst contract I've ever seen drawn. I've seen some bad ones. I buy bad contracts. I love bad contracts. You buy them, you can buy them cheap. And then you work them out. Throw them into a chapter, you do a lot of things. I get credit…oh! MR. TRUMP PLAYS OUT THE PRESS-…‘Well, Mr. Trump is it true…? …that you filed bankruptcy’. I said, ‘no, I bought a thing, and I threw it in, and I did a great number…and I did…’. I mean, look, I'm a businessman, right? I did a number in the bank's. I did a number on everybody, and I had something good. I love bad contracts, buying them is great.
 
Now, in his case…I really wish that that was a good contract. But that contract…is one of the most incompetent deals…we gave everything! We gave…a hundred and fifty…billion dollars…to a terrorist nation. They don't need nuclear…because they can buy it! They don't have to work on it. They have so much money now, they can buy it! We gave…and these are people that riot in the streets, burning the flags…did you see yesterday…? …burning flags all over. All over Iran!
You know, at what point does a president say, ‘wait a minute. This is too much’ ? On television, they're burning a flag all over Iran. They're saying ‘death to America’. ‘Death to Israel’…death to anybody! And we're giving them a hundred and fifty billion dollars. We're letting them…how about this one? Self-police! They are going to tell us…whether or not they're building nuclear weapons –CROWD BOOS. No, think of it. They're going to tell us…I promise we are not building! Can you believe this!? This is Kerry! He may be the worst negotiator…in fact I've said…Hillary Clinton is the worst Secretary…of State…in history –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Okay?
 
I have bad news for you. Because of the deal that Kerry made, with Iran, he may be worse. He may be worse. Hate to say it. So they have the 24-day period…but think about this: we have four hostages over. There the hostages. They're holding four. When it started, years ago…did you ever see a negotiation take so long!? When it started, years and years ago, this negotiation…when it started, what happened? Why didn't we say, ‘we want our hostages back, and if you don't give them back, we’re doubling and tripling the sanctions’…they would have been back to the table that evening. And we would have had these people here. I met one of their wives, who is a phenomenal woman. Her husband's in jail because he's a Christian. Do you believe this? And he's over there. And these jails are serious jails. These are the meanest…like they say it's one of the worst in the world. Can you imagine?
 
So we've got four people over there. We're giving…all of this money, all of this access, we…they will have nuclear weapons soon, and we don't even get them back. Now today…and over the last short period they say, ‘we will now…discuss the hostages’. Why did we get them back? Why didn't we say…before we started, three years ago…before we started, ‘we want our hostages back’. And they will say, ‘no’. And we will say, ‘bye, bye. See you’. Double up the sanctions. They'll call you…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…they'll call you within 24 hours: ‘yes, we will give your hostages back’. We are led by people that are so weak! And so ineffective! They don't respect us! They don't respect us at all! Now, why wouldn't we have said, ‘you give them’. And I will tell you this: if I win…! …if I win…those hostages, I guarantee, we'll be back long before I take office! I tell you right now! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
But you know what's happening? Already now we're having…we just gave 150 billion! Now we're having new negotiations, and they want 19 people…-MR. TRUMP PLAYS THEIR SPEECH OUT-… ‘we won't give you all for back. We’ll only give you three. We want 19 million’…and as this guy, who's far too smart for Kerry, the chief negotiator for Iran said, ‘we want 19 people, and we want many other things’. Can you believe this!? You know, I would like to throw something at the television. You just can't believe it. You can't believe it.
 
So now we're negotiating to get our hostages back. And when they –THE PRESS- asked Kerry, and the president…! … ‘why didn't we get the hostages back?’ They said, ‘we didn't wanna complicate the negotiation’. Okay? Didn't wanna complicate it…-CROWD BOOS. All you do is you start, and not at the end…! …you start say, ‘we want it…’we did The Art of the Deal, they didn't read The Art of the Deal. Do you agree? They didn't read The Art of the Deal –CROWD LAUGHS. But why would you start by saying, ‘we want them back’.
 
Now, the reason I bring that up is…it just shows how foolish we are. Whether it's that or…I always say Sergeant Bergdahl. That's military. But we get a dirty rotten traitor…who I'd like to dump right back where we got him…-CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You know, he left! He left…six people got killed looking for him, right? He left because he said…oh, when I looked at his father…I said, ‘whoa, whoa, what have we here?’. Right? I said, ‘whoa, what's this all about!?’.
 
So…he left, and he thought, ‘oh, this is gonna be wonderful. He's got…’. Well, bet…they knocked the hell out of him. He didn't have a good time. I don't think he'll be going there anytime soon, right? But here's the amazing thing. In the old days…when we were strong and wise, we shoot a guy like that. A traitor. He's a traitor –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, no, we shoot him! I don't care!
 
In the old days, when we were strong and wise, traitors were treated very, very harshly. If you look at what happened last week, they feel that ‘he wasn't really a hundred percent feeling well. Perhaps he should get no jail time, whatsoever…’. I don't…do you believe this? This is what…okay! So here's the way we negotiate…I call Obama the 5 for 1 president.
 
We get Bergdahl…they get five of their best, toughest, meanest killers…that they've been trying to get out of there for nine years, right? And that's the way we negotiate! That's the way we negotiate!
 
When China…! …just ordered 300 jets. You know, I don't know if you know it, Boeing, right? China just ordered 300 planes. Boeing is now insisting and, you know, one of those things…they came to us. They now have to build a plant…a big, beautiful, nice, new airplane…manufacturing plant. In China! Why!? Why!? We can't make the plane in South Carolina? Yes, we can. We can't make the plane…the planes in Seattle!? Yes, we can. They make their product in China…! …and they send it to us.
 
So Boeing now has to give up their trade secrets…not that it matters, because China steals them anyway..:! But Boeing has to give up their trade secrets. And Boeing is going to build this incredible, massive plant in China…so the China doesn't have to go through us anymore. And I'll tell you what will happen. Eventually Boeing loses, because China will end up taking the plant, say, ‘thank you very much, you dumb suckers’. That's what's gonna happen. And we can't let this continue to go on –CROWD APPLAUDS. We can't let it continue to go on!
Now, somebody said from The Wall Street Journal today…they said, ‘well…you're wrong about trade’. I believe in free trade! They said I'm wrong. Give me a break –CROWD LAUGHS. Big article, big thing: ‘Trump's wrong about trade’. They're talking about NAFTA! That's been a real good one for us, right? People bought…build factories all over Mexico, we lose factories all over the United States, and I'm hearing…how is that…? Let me ask you. How is that good for us? We close a factory in New England…it moves down to Mexico. They do the jobs, they build…they build this factory. They employ them, the Mexicans get employed. Other people get employed. Other countries get employed. How is it good for us!? How is it good…when we lose a factory, they build it in Mexico…they hire the people of their country, which of course they should, and they sell the product us with no tax! Why is that good!? You know, I'm like really smart! I'm trying to figure for a long time… ‘why!? Why is it good!? It's not gonna happen anymore folks! Not gonna happen! Not gonna happen anymore! –CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
A friend of mine…is a manufacturer. And a really good one. And he sells to China. He tells me all about it. He knows better than any professor…or any jerk I could hire, or anybody in the government. They don't know what they're doing. Did you see the other day? Carl Icahn. The great Carl Icahn, came out endorse ‘Trump’. I'll stop corporate inversions. I'll stop all these things that are happening. All these things.
 
But my friend tries to…go to China. And four years he's been dealing with China. He knows China better than anybody you could hire. He said, ‘it's impossible’. He said, ‘number one: they don't want your product. They make it impossible to take it in’. And he makes better product than they do, by far. They'll find any reason! ‘Oh, environmentally we don't like…’. They'll find any reason…! …not to have that product. So what happens…he goes to China, and he sees…he meets…and they negotiate a deal. They want a massive tax to be paid to be sell this product in China. We don't do that.
 
So I'm a free trader, but we need smart trade. We can't let it be that we lose almost 400 billion dollars. We want smart trade. How does it help us? And I tell this story. And I tell it again, ayou know, because frankly, to me it's a great story. I mean, to me it's the ultimate. It's the Ford plant. I tell it all the time. In Mexico. They're building a two and a half a billion-dollar Ford plant…closing up plants, all over the United States…mostly in Michigan. They're building a two and a half billion…you know that is…two and a half billion for one story building!? It's gonna go on forever. So they're gonna hire all Mexican people, which is fine. And those people…are gonna get jobs, which is fine. People in Michigan, people from our country, out. Tennessee the same thing, by the way. A big plant that was going to happen in Tennessee decided at the last moment they're gonna move to Mexico. Mexico is becoming the car capital of the world, by the way. And I would tell…I would tell the head of Ford, very strongly. And you gotta understand, I said at the beginning. I'm not taking political contributions. Nobody's giving me four, five, six million dollars.
 
 
Somebody said the other day…these Super PACs, by the way, are a scam. A scam. The super PACs are controlling every one of these guys –MR. TRUMP MIMICS A PUPPET. THE CROWD APPLAUDS. They're controlling these politicians. I will tell you, the Super PAC…that Carson has…is running Iowa! You're not supposed to do that! The Super PAC that Rubio has…the Super PAC. Bush has a hundred and twenty-five million dollars, in a Super PAC! And these people…are absolutely running…they're absolutely…running the politicians! They have total and complete control…over the politicians. And I say to them…I say…so let me ask you this: I'm president, and I don't like it. And they call me, and they wanna negotiate: ‘Mr. president…’. And all the lobbyists…many of whom I know. I have no interest in helping them! I'm gonna do what's right for you! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
But…! …when a guy who just gave five million dollars to Hillary, or Jeb, or Rubio, or any of them…! …by the way, this guy's, singer. They say he's a billionaire. Not as rich as I am, so that’s…CROWD LAUGHS. But he might be a nice guy. Heavy! Heavy…! …into weak immigration. Heavy! So you know that Rubio, where he's going right after the election. He’s got to! The guy’s giving him a lot of money, they’re all fighting over the guy. But tell me this. Tell me this: who do you want negotiating for you!? –CROWD CALLS OUT ‘TRUMP!’. Thank you.
 
Who do you want!? –CROWD CALLS OUT ‘TRUMP! AND STARTS CHANTING IT TO FINALLY CHEER. Politicians cannot negotiate. I've made a fortune over my lifetime dealing with politicians. They can't negotiate. Because they don't care! They just want to keep people happy that helped them. They don't care.
 
And I tell the story. So…let's say that…I…I used to use Jeb Bush. Let's now say…who should I use? Who do you want me to use? I can use any of them. I can use any of them. You want me to use Rubio? How about I'll use Hillary! How about Hillary? –CROWD CHEERS.
 
So they come up to see her, and…she’d said…you know, she's not a dummy. And she'll come and she'll say, ‘that's a bad deal!’. And they'll say, ‘Madam President, you can't fight that, because the special interest group gave you five million dollars…between your foundations and everything else, but they gave you five million that they want this plant to be built. You can't do it Madam President’. She’d say, ‘well, it's such a bad deal’. ‘You can't do it!’.
Then her lobbyists will come up. That's been her friend for years. It's been giving her millions and millions of dollars every time she run. And they’ll say, ‘Hillary, you can't do this. These people have helped you out!’. And you know what's gonna happen? Not 99 percent a hundred percent, a hundred percent! She's gonna say, ‘okay, let the plant go forward’. Okay? She knows it's wrong. But it’s just…it’s…it's common sense. It's…it's human nature!
 
Now, President Trump…? President Trump…!? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So…now president Trump, they’d come and they’d call them. And they’d say, ‘Mr. Trump, we’d like to see you’. This is the head of Ford. I’d say, ‘what do you want? Are you the one that's building a plant in Mexico?’. ‘Yes sir, I'd like to explain why it's a great idea’. It's not a great idea, this…I'm like an intelligent…there's not a great idea…it’s bad! You're closing in Michigan. You’re closing other places. We're losing thousands and thousands of jobs. Then you're gonna send yourself…you're gonna have it driven over by the illegals. Over the border, they'll drive it, cause you get them…right?’. You know who’s gonna drive the cars over? The illegals! Because nobody checks them! Why not use them!? Right!?
 
So…I'm gonna say, ‘why is it a good idea…?’. After about a minute I'll cut them off. Then I'll be called by friends of mine. Then I'll be called by special interest. Then I'll be called by lobbyists! But they didn't give me any money, and I didn't take any money! So I don't care! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And I'll say…to the president of Ford, ‘I'm sorry…but…unless you…build in this country…our country…! …where we have jobs, what we wanna…great people’… ‘unless you do that, we are going to charge you a thirty-five percent tax…on every single car…that you will over the border’. ‘Every single one!’. –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. This plant makes cars, trucks and parts. Everyone…thirty-five percent…! …and that's only because I'm being nice!
 
So here's what's gonna happen. They'll put a little pressure on me. Believe me: Zero! Zero chance! Within 24 hours…probably a lot sooner than that. I'll get a call from the head of Ford. Or Nabisco. Or Boeing. Or whoever. It's all the same! All the same! They went to worse schools than I did. Believe me. All the same! I will get a call from the head of Ford, ‘Mr. president, we are going to build our plant in the United States’ –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. A hundred percent!  A hundred percent! A hundred percent! It's not even close. And I don't mean like, you know, ‘maybe…I think I can do it…’. Now, no other politician could do that…for two reasons! Number one, they don't have the business up here –MR. TRUMP MARKS HIS HEAD. They don't have it. Number two, they're controlled by the lobbyists special interests…and their packs! They're totally controlled.
 
So…I will do such a good job. Here's the thing: The American Dream, and I say it, the American Dream is largely dead. It is. Because…between the regulations, and the problems, and all of the things…we will take regulations so far back. So many years back –CROWD CHEERS. And we'll keep some good ones. Will bring regulations back…so far you won't even believe it. But I say it all the time! The American Dream is dead…but I’m gonna make it bigger, and better, and stronger than ever before. I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna do it! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
We're going to make our country…so strong, and so rich, and so powerful…we are going to take care…of our people. Our people are going to come first! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're not going to allow…incompetent politicians…stupid people…to be out negotiated every single time…by other countries…and other representatives. We're not gonna have it anymore. Not gonna happen –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
We are gonna run our country…so well, and so tight, and so smart…and you know what? All of these countries…India, Brazil, Japan, Mexico…everybody! They're gonna respect us again and they're gonna like us better than they do now. They don't even like us! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And we…are going to make…America…great…again! Believe me! I promise you! And I love you all! I love you all!
 
Thank you!
 
We will make America great again!
 
Thank you!
