Wow!
 
This is so…so incredible! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We…we have had, no matter where we go…you know, it's a movement folks! This is a movement. This is a movement…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No matter where we go…don't…it's amazing. We go to Dallas, we go to Oklahoma, we go all over! We went to…ehm…the other night, Iowa, packed. Every place…New Hampshire, packed. Ehm…every place we go to…it's like this. It's amazing. And just great, great people. And they actually had to tell over 3,000 people, ‘go home. We'll come back, we'll do another one’, but they had to go home. Would you like to leave and we'll let them come in? No? –CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’. I don't think so.
 
But we turned away a lot of people, and…which is too bad, actually. So maybe next time. I don't know…I think this is the largest room, I know it's a record for the room…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You know, it has to be a record, cuz every inch of the room is taken with people. And they’re standing! They're not sitting. So that's great. I love…we love setting records! We want the country to set records, right? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So…you know, I…I…do this, and I love to do it, and I talk about our success…because that's ultimately what it's all about.
 
I think we're going to do fantastically well in Iowa. I really think we're gonna do great there. And…I could say, ‘oh, gee! If we came in the top four or five…!’. I'm not…we’re…I'm looking to win everything. We wanna run the table. We wanna run it. Cuz that sends a signal. And you know, we've been…a little bit…we had to respond to Hillary…she came out with that…–CROWD BOOS–…no! She came out…remember? She wrote…she said, ‘he's got a…he's demonstrated a penchant!’. I demonstrated…a penchant…for sexism! Can you believe it!? Me!? Nobody…respects…women…more…than Donald Trump. That I can tell you…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Nobody! Nobody!
 
And… you know, when she said that, I had no choice, because I didn't start it. I had no choice! And I did have to mention…her husband situation, okay? –CROWD LAUGHS. And that is now the…biggest…story…on television…by a factor of 10! So…we have to do it! You can't let people push you around. You can't let people tell lies. YOU–…can't do it! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
You know, it's interesting…ehm…one of the polls came out, from…CNBC, and…and they said that…ehm…if it's ‘Trump’ against Hillary…in the election, it will be…the greatest…voter…turnout… in the history of this country. I can see that! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I can see it! I can see it! And they said, all of these people…that are gonna come in knew, that never vote…they never vote! They don't care! …they're gonna mostly…! …I'll tell you what, they’re gonna vote for ‘Trump’. That's why they're coming in. Because they're so fed up with this system, this corrupt horrible system! They're fed up with them…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT WHERE THE CAMERAS ARE–…they're fed up with those guys back there, the media, they are the worst! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TO THEN BOO. They’re the worst! No, they’re fed up. They’re fed up. They’re fed up with the media. I mean, I've got…and you know not all of them. But there's so much dishonesty…in the media. And I like to call it out!
 
And one of the things that's really been amazing to me, and…and…such…it's been so beautiful to watch! The level of genius in the public. They get it! You know, they really get it! They wanna marginalize us; they wanna do all of this; and they wanna make everybody look like, ‘oh, gee!’. The…the level of genius…they fully understand! They know they're crooked. They know they're dishonest! And they really…! …otherwise…who gets worse publicity than me!? –CROWD LAUGHS. And yet I see a poll at 42 percent. And you know, you're talking about 15, 16 people…started with 17! How are you!? –MR. TRUMP GREETS SOMEBODY IN THE CROWD. –…started with 17 people…and you know, I'd be happy with 42 if we had three –CANDIDATES RUNNING FOR THE NOMINATION! Okay!? Not thrilled! I'd like to be that over that 50 mark, but I think we're doing really well.
 
And you know, it's interesting. But the debates…okay? So the debates…–MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP ACKNOWLEDGES IT–… ‘thank you. I love you too darling. I love you. I do! I love you!’. I love everybody! You know what? The rooms, no matter where! Whether it's stadiums, or big ballrooms…like this one…it's amazing! And there's love in the room! And I told…the other night I said, and a friend of mine…very, very successful guy, who I would love to have negotiating against China. That's what we need. Not these hacks that we have…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, no I have guys…Carl Icahn endorsed me…big, great businessman. We have…I have great, great business people that wanna be involved…and we're gonna use…we have the best! We have the best of all! We don't use them! We use political hacks; we use special interest people…that really don't care about the country. They care about their deals. This is gonna change so fast.
 
You know, last year five…hundred…billion…dollar…trade deficit, with China. Think of it: 500. DO–…you know what 500 billion is!? –CROWD CHEERS. You do…you do hundred-dollar bills, you’d fill the room it…and…to the ceiling! Five…hundred…billion…dollars…deficit. Trade deficit, with China! What are we!? We…–A MEMBER IN THE CROWD INTERVENES. MR. TRUMP HEARS IT–…‘yeah, I guess the answer is…’…certainly let's not blame us. Our leaders are stupid! And…! –CROWD LAUGHS–…and…! or…! You have to say…and…or! …they have deals!
 
Because what's happened is…all of this money is…being given to them…by special interests, by…all of these people…including lobbyists. And these lobbyists…make…our leaders…do! …our leaders! Can you believe!? Our leaders! –MR. TRUMP SAYS IT SHOWING DISBELIEF AND EMBARRASSMENT–…this is what we…–CROWD LAUGHS. But they make the leaders of our country do things that they don't even wanna do! Because they've given them…tens, and tens, and tens of millions of dollars. When I look at this guy, Jeb Bush, he spent fifty-nine million dollars on his campaign! –CROWD BOOS–…and he's…down in the grave! He's nowhere! No, no, think of it! And…it's gotta be much more than that. It was actually fifty-nine million a while ago. Every time I turn on an and, I see an ad about ‘Trump’. I mean…it's not that bad an ad either…it's like…you know…–CROWD LAUGHS–…you're gonna do an ad, do an ad…–CROWD CHEERS.
 
But…look, he's a low energy person. Let's face it…–CROWD CHEERS. We don't need low energy, we need lots of energy! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But he spent…think of it, think of it: He spent…fifty…nine…million dollars. I spent nothing, right? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Nothing! Now, I'm going to be spending, and you probably saw it! I'm gonna spend now…we’re gonna start spending a lot of money. Cause I don't wanna take any chances! You know, it's like…
 
I love getting up, and for the last…couple of months, I’ve…I've been leading…from…practically the time I announced, right? And for the last…and leading a lot. I'm gonna go over that, because I go over polls. I love polls. CROWD LAUGHS–…I love polls! Now, when they…if they turn negative, I don't like them…–CROWD LAUGHS. And I promise…if they turn negative, I'm not gonna be talking about them, right? In fact, I get criticized all the time, ‘you're always talking about your polls!’. One of these guys just got 2! He's at 2! I'm at 42! And one of these guys who's at 2 said, ‘he always talks about his polls…and I don't’. And I wouldn't either if I had 2! –CROWD LAUGHS. I swear I wouldn’t! I wouldn’t! I wouldn't do it at all,
 
But…you know…I…I love to tell the story where…I spent nothing…and…Bush…has spent fifty-nine million dollars, but much higher than that. That's…just…you know, cause I see. Since then…I mean, just…you can't turn on this television…! …without these commercial…at FOX! Every two minutes it's a commercial on ‘Trump’! You know what he did it's false advertising?
 
So…I killed him in the debate. According to…Reuters…according to everybody! Drudge, who’s an amazing guy, by the way. If you don't know Drudge, Matt Drudge…–CROWD CHEERS. Great? He's a great guy. But Drudge, 46 percent. The 46 percent, you have 15 people! Now, if you noticed, a couple of drop down, a couple more. But fifteen, sixteen people, 46 percent. Time Magazine, 49 percent. Think of it. Slate, 51 percent. US News and World Report, 69 percent. THEY– said I won the debate! I won the debate, right? Right!? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. PBS, Public Broadcasting System, 69 said ‘Trump’ won…–CROWD CHEERS. No, you know, it's amazing! Ehm…we have…Washington Times at 62 percent; CBS, 59; FOX, 62 percent…FOX Las Vegas, 62 percent.
 
So…they all say! Then I go back home, after the debate…I like to see how did I do. Did I look good!? Looking good is very important, right!? –CROWD LAUGHS. Sometimes…it's not as much…like…what you say, it's how did you look. All right, ‘I look good…didn't sound too good, but that's okay’. You wonder, is that a good trait or not? But…I go home, I watch. And the pundits will say…I mean, they can't totally kill me, cause…I know what's happening. We know what's that…
‘Well, Mr. Trump was okay tonight. He was…’. I won every…! …every single online poll! I won.
 
And then…here’s Bush. So Bush does an and…and he takes me. And…he was talking about…you know, something, any Minister. And then I killed him! I mean, he…by the way, I'm at…69 percent. He's at…1 percent, he got! –CROWD LAUGHS. He came in last! He takes the ad…and I shouldn't even talk about him! He's down to two, or three…! …but…I…it…bothers me when I see a guy spending…you know, sixty million dollars on ads…against me! A lot of it, right? I say, ‘why is he doing this! Doesn't he have something better!? He should go home!’. Just relax! –CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. No, honestly? He should go home and relax! He shouldn't be wasting his time. But he does! I say, ‘why is this spending all this money?’. Now he's spending it in actually against a couple of other guys. They were also very weak ads, they were. –CROWD LAUGHS. But here’s my ad!
 
So…he…made a statement, and…after that his spin people, said, ‘oh he was great! He took on Trump!’. ‘He took on Trump!’…–MR. TRUMP EXPRESSES UNLIKELIHOOD AND DISBELIEF. …I'm standing here, he's over here… ‘took on Trump’, he made a statement…that was written…by his pollster! You know? So…he memorized…he said, ‘Mr. Trump why don't you…this…’. It's all okay. Then I gave him an answer! I said, ‘Jeb, I'm at 42, you’re at 2’, right? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's a simple answer! – NOW MR. TRUMP REPRODUCES THE MOMENT HE ANSWERED BACK IN THE DEBATE– …‘You started off here, right next to me…’…–CROWD LAUGHS–… ‘…and then you were; there then you were there; by the next time you're gonna be off the stage’, right? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. No, no, it’s true! It’s true!
 
And then…and then…and that was it! So I responded! So he asked me a question. THE–…question was fine. You know, professionally written…–CROWD LAUGHS. So he asked me a question…good. I gave him an answer; I blow him away! Right? Everybody says ‘Trump’ won the debate. Everybody! And that's it.
 
So the ad is him asking the question, and I'm standing here like this…–STANDING STILL AND STIFF–…cuz I haven't…in fact, you seeing one of them, I’m just about ready to open my mouth. But he doesn't let me respond. That’s almost false advertising! Isn’t it!? You know? –CROWD LAUGHS. So I mentioned him.
 
Hillary is a disaster. I mean, Hillary…! –CROWD BOOS–…Hillary is controlled by her money; so is Jeb; so it's…; by the way, I'm the only one self-funding my campaign. I'm self-funding…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You know, one of the things that makes me happy, I heard…one of the commentators this morning. THEY–…said, ‘you know, I've been watching this stuff for 50 years. I've never seen anything like what's happened with Trump’…–CROWD CHEERS. One of them actually said…one of them…–MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS ‘YOU ARE SPECIAL!’. MR. TRUMP REPRODUCES IT–… ‘I’m special. You’re special! I like you!’…–CROWD LAUGHS. ‘I’m special!’. Ain’t that nice!? That's a very…every once in a while somebody can say something that hits you…–CROWD APPLAUDS. Where are you? Who said that!? Wow! So nice. Thank you! That's a nice one! Right!? That's like…you know, every once in a while there's a statement that’s either nice or brutal. I think low energy…was a brutal statement, right? –CROWD YELLS ‘YEAH!’.
 
And by the way, low energy can be applied to Hillary! I just don't like to use the same thing twice on…one of my enemies, right? Cause I consider them enemies. We view this as war. Don't we view this as war!? It's war! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's…it’s war! So you don't like to use it. I hate to give it up…–MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE–…‘what?’…–MEMBER IN THE CROWD REPEATS THEIR STATEMENT: ‘ARE YOU GONNA HELP MY ELEVEN YEAR OLD DAUGHTER?’. MR. TRUMP RESPONDS–… ‘Oh, we're gonna your daughter! We’re gonna help the country! That's called ‘helping the daughter’. We're gonna help your country.
 
So here's the story: so we are…in a situation…where we have incompetent leadership; where our trade deals are killing us; our military is not…prepared; General Odierno, when he left…just recently, he said, we are less prepared now…than at any time…that he can remember. And…I think he went back to the beginning! But let's say Second World War, okay’ That's enough! Now, we should be very prepared now, because the world hates us. She has done a terrible job as Secretary of State. I mean…think of it! Putin comes out, he said, ‘Donald Trump is brilliant! He's doing an amazing job; and he's leading the pack!’. Okay, that’s nice! And…she…and my opponents said, ‘Oh, isn’t it terrible that Putin said…’. Wouldn't it be nice if we could get along with the world!? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…wouldn't it be…!? Seriously! No, no, wouldn't it be nice!? I mean, they want me to refute his statement, ‘how dare you say I'm brilliant!? How dare you…that’s a…!’…–CROWD LAUGHS. Who’s gonna do that!? And by the way, if…he said it about any one of them, they would have been very happy.
 
But the point is…we have to get along! The world…has blown up…around…Barack Obama. Now, I don't know if you saw his recent…release. They were talking about the Department of State, State Department…and they said, very strongly, you know, the things…that they've done. Well, he couldn't find it! Because…what have they done…that's good? And they said… ‘bringing peace…to Syria’…did you see that!? –CROWD MUTTER AND SAYS ‘NO!’.
 
So instead of saying…they made a mistake…call it a typo! They made a mistake. They're trying to justify it… ‘well, we meant…we're working on it’. Can you believe!? ‘Bringing peace to Syria’!? The…the…world is blowing up! Thee migration is Syria! They say, one of their achievements for the years, ‘bringing peace…to Syria’. And the whole world's talking about it. It's…it’s…the level of stupidity is incredible…–CROWD LAUGHS. I'm telling you! I used to use the word ‘incompetent’. Now I just call them ‘stupid’. I went to an Ivy League school…–CROWD LAUGHS–…I'm very highly educated. I know words…I had the best words. I have them! But them all…but there's no better word than ‘stupid’! Right!? –CROWD APPLAUDS. There is no…there's no…there's no…there's no word like that.
 
So…we are going to turn things around. But…and if we have Hillary I gotta tell you. I just saw it…where…for the last week, she's been hitting me really hard with the women card, okay? Really hard! And I had to say, ‘okay! That's enough! That's enough!’. And we did a strong number. She's not gonna win. And by the way, I love the concept…I love! …love! …love! …having a woman president. IT–…can't be her! She's horrible! She's horrible! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And you know who really don't…? …the…I’ll…I’ll tell you who does not like…–MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELL SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP RESPONDS–…‘yeah, we'll get Ivanka!’ …–HIS DAUGHTER–… ‘Good! Let's do Ivanka!’…–MR. TRUMP LAUGHS. It’s good!
 
But…but I'll tell you who doesn't like Hillary: our women! Women don't like Hillary! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I see it all the time! And I always so theatrical, ‘Mr. Trump said this! …’…–MAKING IT SOUND IMPORTANT THROUGH A DIFFERENT TONE–… ‘…and that! And this…! And…’. Oh! You just…I…I actually…I shouldn't do it! I just have to turn off the television so many times. She just gives me a headache! –CROWD LAUGHS. But you know…? Although I think last night I gave her a big headache…–CROWD LAUGHS. I can imagine. I can imagine those discussions.
But…you have to hit back hard. And you can't let him push you around. And today she gave a speech, and she never even mentioned my name. You know, in the debate I was mentioned nine times. I mean, everything…through…all of them, but…her. I was mentioned 9 times. None of the other candidates were mentioned. And then she came out with the…sexism! …which…is so…nonsense. And…but she's playing that card! And then I had to hit her back. So I hit her back. And I talked about her husband, and the abuse…of women, and the tremendous abuse. No! It's…tremendous abuse! I mean, you look at it! It's tremendous abuse! And…I talked about that.
 
And now, today, the television is going crazy…and she gets up, makes a speech she doesn't even mention anything about me with sexism or anything else. I wonder why! I wonder why! – CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS– …and…and remember this! Is…really important. A poll just came out, where we're tied…another one came out, a couple of weeks ago, FOX, where I'm leading by four or five points…against her, individually. We're doing great. I haven't even focused on her yet! Look at the people I focused on! I don't wanna really…knock them. I don't wanna mention…their names. But you know, of those people that are all gone, they were all people that attacked me. Wouldn't it be nice if our country could have that same thing? you attack, and they're…boom! Gone! And if we could do it verbally…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…no, if we can do it verbally…that's even better! Right!? You know…who wants to use our military’
 
By the way, we are gonna build…the strongest, the best, the most powerful military ever! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY–…ever! Ever! Ever! And we're gonna take care of our Vets. We're gonna take care of our Vets…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY AGAIN–…because they are…being…treated…horribly! But we're gonna build the strongest…most powerful military ever! And…! let me just tell you…let me just tell you a little secret: it’s the cheapest thing we can do…we are never gonna have to use it. I don't think we're gonna have to use it.
 
Don't forget: they talk about my tone! I remember when Jeb and Hillary, the same day, ‘Mr. Trump's tone…is not nice!’. They're chopping off Christians heads in Syria, and other places…and they want me to have a nice tone! I'm supposed to be, ‘oh! Isn’t…isn’t life wonderful?’, okay? –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
Look! We've gotta be tough; we've gotta be smart; we gotta have heart; we got to have heart too! We gotta take care of people. We gotta fix our healthcare program. This Obamacare is a disaster! You people know! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You people know! Obamacare…is a…total catastrophe. It's gonna be repealed and replaced. It will die…! …in ’17…–YEAR 2017–…anyway. I don't know if you heard what's happening, but it's so bad. All the people that they didn't think, ‘we're signing up or signing up’, and the other people…that are really paying for it…aren't signing up. And…your rates are going up 25, 35, 45 percent. Your deductibles are so high that unless you get hit by a tractor, you're never gonna be able to use your deductible…–CROWD LAUGHS–…you're never gonna be able to use it!
 
So Obamacare is a disaster. We're gonna repeal it. We're gonna replace it…there’re…so…many…great…things…we can do…on health care. So…many…great…things! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And it’ll cost you much less money! And it'll be great! It'll be great! I mean, you're signing programs and things that you'll never ever use! You know that! And you're paying for it! And you'll never, ever use them! So we'll get that straightened out. We'll get it straightened out a lot of things. We're gonna straighten out Common Core. Common Core is dead. It's gonna be dead…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…it’s gonna be dead! When I look at parents, …and I see local parents in Iowa, and New Hampshire, and…South Carolina! I went to a school…and I saw the parents, they…they love their children! They want that…they want educate…they love! They don't care about money; they don't care about anything. They love their children! And it's local! And they get together! And they do wonderful programs, they’re smart people! As opposed to getting it done by…bureaucrats, and then getting big fat checks in Washington. I mean, we have such…talent in this country…and we don't use it! So Obamacare, dead! Common Core, gone. We're gonna get rid of it! Department of Education, we're gonna get rid of it! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're bringing…education…to a local…INAUDIBLE.
 
One thing on education. So…in the world…we are ranked number 28. There are third world countries…that are ranked better than us, in education. And many other things. And yet, per pupil, we are number one, by far! There's nobody close. Number two isn't even close. So we spend more money per pupil…than any country in the world. And were ranked…number…28, which is way down…way down the bottom…essentially! I mean, it's…it's…can you imagine? We're ranked number 28, we’re number one. And that's what I do like saying about my campaign. I spent less money than anybody else, and I have the best result. I'm number one by a lot…and I spent no money! I mean, my plane cost me some money and it…but…I spent…no ads! I– took a little radio ad in Iowa…but I didn't do that. I took…I think…the station's so lovely, if you wanna know the truth. But I…spent…essentially…no money!
 
And then you have all these other guys spending vast…and they're like…the way the United States is run. Now, why would we put a guy…like…Jeb! Like…some of the others. It's not only Jeb Bush. They spend money! I see Rubio, the ads…! All day long! The…you know, the black background, he's got…like a black…thing. HE– should have put something like…that! –MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMETHING OFF CAMERA–…behind him, right? Right there, the flag! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, no! And I like him! I think he's a nice guy! But…I see these ads! …you know, with the…with the…the backdrop, and profe…and it's…just…somber, it's not good! I don't think it's good!
 
So…think of it: I spent no money…and I'm number one! Others spent…others spent…they will have spent hundreds of millions of dollars…and they're not even in the race! That's…what we need for our country. What!? –MR. TRUMP TRIES TO HEAR WHAT A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS–… ‘okay. I got 15,000, but I know what the hell he means by that’, but that's okay. So…but…I think he's a fan. I don't think he's a pro…are you a protester? No. Okay. No, he likes ‘Trump’. Okay. He’s not a protester, I love you…–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
You…you know, the only time…don't worry about him. The only time the cameras…focus on the crowd, is when we have a protester. Cause I always have a…like look at this ballroom, packed. I always have the biggest crowds! And…I go home, and my wife said, ‘were there many people? I watched you on television tonight’.
I said, ‘What? I had 20,000 people! The…the whole arena!’.
She said, ‘they didn't show it. They have…right on your face’.
 
So I have 20,000 people, I had 20,000 in Oklahoma; 35,000 in Mobile, Alabama; …nobody knows! Because those cameras stay right in my face! And I think they can't move, you know? I think there may be fixed, because modern cameras maybe…–CROWD LAUGHS. Except…! …every time there's a guy that stands up protesting…you know, they’re on drugs or something, cause some of these guys, they say…–CROWD LAUGHS–…they don't even know what the hell they're doing there…–CROWD LAUGHS. All of a sudden the cameras swerve…! And they perfect shots! And I like it, because then it shows how big the crowds are. So, you know…–CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. Sometimes…I think I'm gonna put in some false protesters. I'll put in some friendly protesters. It's…it's the only way I'm gonna be able to get them to me.
 
So…so when we started…I talked about trade; I talked about…the border; I talked about…a lot of things, and…I started on June 16th…and…in Trump Tower; the famous escalator, right? And…it takes guts to run for president, I'll tell you! You know? It's like…I never did this before.
 
And…you know, then they tell you're on a debate…we had the largest debating…we had the largest…audience, in the history of cable television. Then CNN…a couple of weeks later…had 23 million. FOX had 24 million; CNN had 23 million. The largest audience in the history of CNN! Now, they're there, and the cameras on live right now, I mean…you know! So largest…audience…in the history of CNN.
 
Now, the debates used to be…if you go back four years or eight years…you know, whenever the cycles came up, nobody even wanted! They didn't want the debates! I think they were forced to take them, for licensing…nobody wanted the debates, they drew nothing! But now they're drawing 24 million. Now they wanna have more debates… ‘Oh, can we have more!?’, ‘Can we have more!?’. Can they go three hours!? Remember when they had the one go three hours? I said, ‘No! I'm not doing three hours!’. It’s too long! Who wants…!? I could stand up here for…50 hours, but who the hell wants…to sit home watching three hours of the stuff, right!? –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
‘Mr. Trump, you have 30 seconds, what would you do about ISIS?’, ‘Oh, great, thank you!’…–CROWD LAUGHS. And by the way, that question…I hate those questions! Do you know why? Because I wanna be unpredictable! I don't want to tell ISIS what I'm gonna do to knock the hell out of them! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I hate it! I hate it! Remember: I said, very strongly, ‘keep the oil’, for what, four years!? You've been watching. I mean, four years, I’ve been: ‘Get the oil! Get the oil! Get the oil!’. Because, who's gonna get the oil? Iran is taking over Iraq. We made a deal…for…Iran…done by…some of the dumbest people on earth, on our side…–CROWD LAUGHS. We gave them everything! They wanted…we don't even get our prisoners back! And now…Iran wants to start negotiating separately for the prisoners. Can you believe it!? I go crazy!
 
We would have gotten them back! All you had to do is say, ‘we want our prisoners back’. And they would have said, ‘no’. I would have said, ‘I want them back, you don't understand me. I want them back!’. They would have said, ‘no, we won't do that!’. I would have said, ‘bye-bye!’, and I would have left. Then I would have doubled up the sanctions…–CROWD CHEERS–…and I guarantee…! …I guarantee you…that within 24 hours, they would have called back, and they’ll say, ‘you've got your prisoners. Can we talk?’. And I would have never given them…a hundred and fifty billion. I would never given them the money. I would have never given…
They're using it…they don't have to make…nuclear! They can buy in! Why are they gonna make it!? Then we have the nuclear…where they have self-inspection. How about the area…? You know, the big area…they don't want us there! Oh, I wonder why!…–MR. TRUMP SAYS IT SARCASTICALLY. SOME PART OF THE CROWD LAUGHS. They don't want us there. So they self-inspect, okay? Then they have the 24-day inspection. But the self-inspection is the beauty: ‘we think you're making nuclear weapons here’.
‘Well, let us go check Mr. president. We'll check’…–CROWD LAUGHS. ‘No, sir, we're not making nuclear weapons. Ehm…nobody…no! …we're not…! We would never do a thing like that’.
 
These are people that have deceived us; they've lied to us; they're a terrorist state. But, and I used to say… ‘it's the worst deal…that I've ever seen negotiated’. And, by the way, just to finish, prisoners: so they come back, we get our prisoners. But then when I hear the other day…that…now this deals done. It's all done! And now I hear they wanna negotiate it again. And…what did they say, they said…very strongly…! They said, ‘we are going to…want a lot! …for the prisoners’. That's our…we’re starting off! ‘We're gonna want a lot!’.
 
Now, we've already taken off the sanctions; they're already rich as hell; What…what's going on there!? You…that's why I say…I mean, some people say…it's worse than stupidity, there's something going on that we don't know about. I mean, honestly! And you almost…think it: I'm not saying that, and I'm not…a conspiracy person…–MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP REPRODUCES IT–… ‘she said, “we are, we're saying it!”’…–CROWD LAUGHS. I have two people in this room that are saying it! And I'm trying to be…unlike…you know…I'm just hoping they're just stupid people, okay? –CROWD LAUGHS–…which they are. Or…! …there's something going on, because it's…it's inconceivable…you know, DID– you ever see where some things are so bad…that it can't be!? …that nobody can do what they did, right? Nobody.
 
So…Iran now wants to negotiate separately for the prisoners, in other words, that deals done, now we wanna start a whole new deal. And they won a lot…‘we want a lot!’. And I just…I wanna just…shoot the television, you know? –CROWD LAUGHS. Because they would have had it just for saying it! And you know, when they asked Kerry, and Obama, the deal was made…everybody knows it's a horrible deal. It's gonna need to…it's gonna lead to tremendous nuclear proliferation. And they're so rich now. You know, they became…a hundred and fifty billion dollars to them…that’s…they became so rich. And many other things that you don't even know about! Most people don't even know what the agreement says!
 
But…I'll tell you what: when you look at what we're doing…we're not gonna have…if we keep going like this, folks, we're not gonna have a country left. We're not gonna have a country…–CROWD MUTTERS. We're not gonna have our country. And we're like a dumping ground, for the world. We're dumping ground. They wanna take these…migrants, the migrants, you know? And I feel terrible about the migration! Caused by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama! They're the ones that caused it! They go into Libya, they knocked the hell out of Gaddafi. Okay, so Gaddafi…they back rebels, who…end up killing the ambassador, and the other young people! You know the…the…the…the Ambassador was riding in…a Jeep. A military…one of our jeeps, of course. A military Jeep. Holding the Libyan flag, and you know… ‘Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!’. And then he gets killed, by the same people! They…
 
So we backed people…that turned out to be far worse than Gaddafi…! Look what we did in…Iraq Look what we did in Iraq! I mean, what the hell do we get!? We spent…two…trillion dollars…and that was as of a year and a half ago! I keep saying two trillions…it's a lot more than that! We spent two trillion dollars…we have thousands of deaths! And I'm not even talking…other side! You're talking about others say! You're talking about hundreds of thousands, maybe millions! You have thousands of deaths! We have wounded warriors, who I love, all of…these guys are the toughest…these are the greatest people! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, these are the greatest people!
 
And then what happens? We leave! And we have a president…that announces the date of…when we're leaving! So I said, ‘man!’…if I'm the enemy…I'm just gonna go away for 18 months…right!? He’d…he gave a date! ‘We are leaving…Iraq. We will be gone by…’, such and such a time. I said…I'm just sitting there watching, and I'm saying, ‘man! That's really…stupid!’…–CROWD LAUGHS. Because, believe me, the enemy doesn't wanna be killed! You know’ You hear so much, ‘oh, they wanna go with the virgins up to wherever they go’, right’ They don't want that…–CROWD LAUGHS–…they wanna live. They wanna live. And they wanna take care of their families. always their families, remember that, cause their families know what's going on, okay? DO–…you think their wives don't know what they're planning? DO–…you think their kids don't know exactly what daddy's doing? When daddy's gonna fly into the World Trade Center? DO–…you think they don't know? They know exactly what's going on! Remember that. And frankly, I think they have more…love for their families live…than they do for their own life, okay? But they still wanna live.
 
So here's Obama, HE–…gives an exact date. He gives an exact date! So they pull back! And everyone says, ‘Oh! We're doing so well! Look! We're doing so well!’, the enemy…Why should they fight when they know in 18 months they’re going to take the place!
 
So what happens? So we have ISIS…taking a lot of oil. I said, ‘take the oil’. Remember when we left? I was opposed to going in, cause I said, ‘you're gonna destabilize the Middle East. Cause you had Iraq…and you had…Iran. And I said, ‘they fight!’. They’re always fighting! For decades, and decades! For generations! They fight! That's what they do! They fight! How we ever got involved in this mess is…hard to believe. They fight! And they were equal…militarily! They go this way…–MR. TRUMP TAKES HIS FISTS TOWARDS HIS LEFT–…ten feet. They go this way…–MR. TRUMP TAKES HIS FISTS TOWARDS HIS RIGHT–ten feet. Then they rest a couple of years. Then they start fighting again. Then Saddam Hussein throws a little gas…everyone goes crazy, ‘oh, oh, he’s using gas!’. They go back, forth…it's…the same! And they were stabilized! And I said, ‘if you go after one or the other…in this case, Iraq, you're going to…destabilize the Middle East. That’s what's gonna happen! ‘You're gonna destabilize the Middle East!’. And that's exactly what happened! We…totally…destabilized…the Middle East.
 
We have now…migrations. Largely because of what's happened afterwards. You know, Iraq was horrible…it was stupid to go in; we should have never gone in. But we shouldn't have gone out the way we went out! And we shouldn't be given dates. I mean, I would have probably said, ‘we're gonna stay forever!’. And they would have said, ‘oh, man!’. And then keep going, keep going, eventually they would get tired. They’d say, ‘this guy's crazy! I mean…he's never gonna leave!’…–CROWD LAUGHS–…and you'll make a deal! But when you announce you're leaving in 18 months, or whatever the hell he said, they just pulled back…and then as soon as we left, they come in. Okay!?
 
So they have the oil…you know who the biggest beneficiary of the oil is, right? China! China! Always China! I love China! I love Mexico! Their leaders are too smart for us. We have no border. We will build a wall…Mexico will pay for the wall, by the way…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We’re building a wall, we’re gonna have a border…and people are gonna come into our country, but they're gonna come in through a legal process. They're not coming in the way they're coming in now, just…walking in…like…nothing. They're gonna come in, but they’re gonna come through a legal process.
 
So…with Iraq…so we give them a date, and they take over. We didn't take the oil…so for four years, I've been talking about it. Then, because of Paris…! All of a sudden they started bombing the oil. But I didn't wanna just bomb the oil. I wanted to take the oil. They're bombing. You know, we're bombing, great. What's gonna happen after that? So we're bombing. And you know, we're not really bombing it. Because they're still selling it! I say, ‘how could they keep saying…?’. Obama doesn't wanna hit him too hard, because he's afraid he's going to pollute the atmosphere. No, this is serious! –CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
 
Now, think of it: he talks about the carbon…footprint, and yet he'll fly a very old…Air Force One, an old Boeing 747, with the old engines, and…you know, spewing stuff! So…he's got a problem with the carbon footprint! You can't use hairspray! Because hairspray…is going to…affect the ozone! I'm trying to figure out…let's see, I'm in my room…in New York City, and I wanna put a little spray…so that I can…–MR. TRUMP PRETENDS HE STYLES HIS HAIR. THE CROWD LAUGHS–…right? But I hear where they don't want me to use hairspray. They want me to use the pump! –CROWD LAUGHS. Because the other one, which I really like better than going bing, bing, bing…–MR. TRUMP REPRESENTS PRESSING A BUTTON. THE CROWD LAUGHS–…and then it comes out in big globs, right? And you're stuck in your hair, and you say, ‘oh my god! I gotta take a shower again! My hair is old screwed up’, right? –CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. I wanna use hairspray. They say, ‘don't use hairspray, it's bad for the ozone’.
 
So I'm sitting in this concealed apartment, this concealed…you know, I really do live in a very nice apartment, right? –CROWD LAUGHS. But it's sealed! It's beautiful! I don't think anything gets out! And I'm not supposed to be using hairspray. But think of it: so Obama is always talking about the…global warming, ‘that global warming…is our biggest and most dangerous…problem’, okay’ No, no, think of it. I mean, even if you're a believer in global. ISIS is a big problem; Russia is a problem!; China is a problem!; We got a lot of problems!
 
By the way, the maniac in North Korea's is a problem! He actually has nuclear weapons! Right? That's a problem! We get a lot of problems! We got a lot of problems! –MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE–… ‘that's right, we don't win anymore…’, he said…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEBODY IN THE CROWD OFF CAMERA–…we wanna win! We don't win anymore! We're gonna win a lot! If I get elected, we're gonna a lot! You’re gonna win so much! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’s true! You're gonna win a lot! We're gonna win a lot! We're gonna win so much…–THAT–…you're all gonna get sick and tired of winning, you’ll say, ‘oh, no! Not again!’. I'm only kidding. You never get tired of winning, right? Never! –CROWD CHEERS.
 
But think of it: so Obama is talking about…all of this INAUDIBLE…: global warming, and that…a lot of it's a hoax. It's a hoax. I mean, it's a money-making industry, okay? It's a hoax. A lot of it! And look, I want clean air, and I want clean water, that's my global…I want clean, clean, crystal water! And I want clean air. And we can do that! But we don't have to destroy our businesses! We're don’t have to destroy our country…
 
And by the way, China…isn't abiding by anything. They're buying all of our coal…we can't use coal anymore, essentially. They're buying our coal, and they're using it! Now, when you talk about the planet…! …it's so big out there. We're here, they're there…–MR. TRUMP SHOWS POSITIONS WITH HIS OWN HANDS. It's like they're our next-door neighbor, right? In terms of…the universe, Miss universe, by the way. I made a great deal when I sold that. Oh, did I get rich! –CROWD LAUGHS. That was a great deal! Ah! You know they broke my choppers on that. They said, ‘he talks about illegal immigration, we're not gonna put him on television’. First of all, the world…Univision is being sued like crazy, you wouldn't believe it…–CROWD LAUGHS. And…NBC, I made a great deal with them, just like an amazing deal. Far more…than I would have ever gotten! I mean, I made an…unbelievable deal! Far more than I ever would have gotten if I said, ‘I think I'm gonna sell it if times were normal’, right? Isn't it amazing the way this stuff got worked out?
 
But I love Miss Universe. And I love the universe. But think of it: so China is spewing up all this stuff…and we're…holding back. And with China, you know, we signed these agreements, where we have to do it now, they have to do it within 30, or 35 years. I don't think they're gonna be doing it!
 
It's like Japan. If somebody attacks Japan…we have to immediately go and start World War Three. Okay? If we get attacked…Japan doesn't have to help us…–CROWD MUTTERS–…somehow that doesn't sound so fair. Does that sound good? –MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’.
 
So South Korea, I order televisions. I order thousands of televisions a year! I ordered televisions, cause I have a lot of stuff, and I like nice brand-new. They're all made in South Korea! Most…other than Sony. And Sony in all fairness has lost its way…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. But a lot of them, Samsung…all of them! I mean, they're all pretty much…ehm…ehm…all of them. Right!? I think…just about. But…I order…thousands of televisions. They're all from South Korea!
 
So we have 28,000 people on the border…separating South Korea from this maniac in North Korea, we get nothing! What did we get? Nothing! Why…? They're making a fortune! It's an economic behemoth! A lot of you don't know. We protect your money Germany. Germany! Mercedes-Benz’s…how many people have a Mercedes-Benz’s? We protect Germany! It's an…economic…behemoth! We protect Saudi Arabia! They were, during the good oil days, now it's probably half…which is fine! But during the good oil days…they were making a billion…listen to this, a billion dollars a day! And we protect them! Our military…but they pay us…peanuts! Not like…nothing! And then if we wanna buy…if we want to move to another location, ‘well, that's very expensive if we do that. We wanna…’, they charge us rent! I mean, look: we are run by people…that are…so bad! They're so out of their league! And I see it! I see it on the stage! You know, they’re…a lot of them are nice people. You know, a lot of people think I don't like them, but I do like them! But they don't have business sense; they don’t have business ability; they don't have common sense; they're politicians, they're all tal, they’re no action!
 
When I say…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…folks, when I say, ‘we're going to build a wall’, most of them say, ‘you can't build a wall!’. We’ll build a wall! In China…2,000 years ago…–CROWD LAUGHS–…they built the Great Wall of China, which is bigger than any wall we're thinking about, okay? The Great Wall of China goes 18,000 miles! We have 2,000 miles! …of which we really only need 1,000 miles, cause you have a lot of natural barriers, right? …that are extremely tough to get across. We have a thousand miles! So…China has 18,000, or 13,000 miles…and we have…1,000 miles! We have modern cranes; we have Caterpillar tractors…I wanna use Caterpillar, I don’t wanna use Komatsu…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–… ‘made in America’! Even my hats, they’re made in America. IT–…wasn't easy to find the guy, WHO–…could do those hats. You know what I'm talking about, I see so many knockoffs of my hat, right? Make America Great Again. I see these things that are out of plastic; they're added to…all sorts of crap. Mine are made in America, and honestly, they do a great job. But they don't produce as many as I’d like, because, frankly, there's a big rob…I mean, it's amazing. Those hats are amazing! But I wanted to have it made…
 
And you know why I wanted…? I wanted it anyway. But I also knew that…as soon as the hats came out, and other things…! …we have a website…as soon as the hats came out, I knew the press would be calling. And…it's true. First hour…! …when the hats were announced, I get a call from the New York Times, ‘Mr. Trump, where those hats made?’. I said, ‘America!’…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I knew it! I knew it! Because as you know, if I would have said ‘China’, I would have been in big, big trouble! But…they're being knocked off all over the world! I mean, I see hats…I…the…they're like helmets! I see them all…but what are you gonna do?
 
But…here's the story: we gotta build a wall. So when I talk…and when I'm up on the stage, with these guys…these people…wonderful people, and…a very nice woman, Carly –FIORINA, she’s a nice woman. When I'm up on the stage with them…they think…I'm crazy when I say Mexico is…as I was saying, ‘we're gonna build a wall, it’s gonna be a great wall!’. It’s gonna be a real wall! See the ceiling!? –MR. TRUMP POINTS RIGHT UP TO THE CEILING–…this ceiling is peanuts compared to the height of the wall I'm talking about…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. I'm talking about, if they ever get up there, they're not coming down, because it's too dangerous…–CROWD APPLAUDS. All right.
 
DID–…you ever see what they do now that we have these little walls!? They build ramps! They build a ramp! I say, ‘wouldn't it be cheaper just to knock the wall down? …and just…’, and then they drive over it with jeeps loaded up with drugs! Did you see this!? They build ramps, there was a picture in Time Magazine. It's a ramp! A little ramp! It goes over the wall…and down. So they have a Jeep…over, down, boom. Make money! We get the drugs…think of it…–MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE AND MR. TRUMP REACTS TO IT–…we… ‘build a wall is right, you gotta build a wall’. We get the drugs, they get the cash. Not so good, right? We don't like that deal. Our politicians don't know. They don't know.
 
So when I say Mexico's gonna pay for it…–THE WALL–…these guys on the stage with me, they're not business people; they don't understand. Mexico makes a fortune…off the United States. Not…number one we give them…a lot of money. But…in addition to that, they're taking our businesses. They're making, if you talk about a trade deficit…I'll tell you what, Mexico, in a certain way, is in a mini-version…of the new China! Mexico is making…an absolute…fortune. Peanuts compared to the cost of the wall! Let's say the cost of the wall is ten billion dollars. That's a good…I can do a great job with ten. I think we'll have a lot of money left over. Somebody else would have…you know, they…
 
And by the way…20 years ago, they wanted to build a wall! People that are for…opposed to it now, they wanted to stop, and they want to build the wall. You know one of the reasons they didn't build the wall? Because of the Environmental Protection Agency. They couldn't get…an environmental…impact study…approved. Can you believe it? Cause there was a toad, or a turtle, or a snake, or something was in the way…–CROWD LAUGHS. N
 
Now, think of it: in China…in that in the South…China…Sea, there were these low…level…land masses, that were covered by water…but, pretty close to the top. China…sends in massive excavators…and there go blah…! …–MR. TRUMP REPRESENTS DIGGING THROUGH THAT SOUND AND A GESTURE–…they're building military fortresses in the South China Sea! And a friend of mine, who is one of the biggest and richest people in China…he is a great guy. They're great people! They are fine! They're just too smart! I mean…their leaders are too smart for our people! They won't be too smart…when I put my people there…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I got to…to different…when they call up, ‘we'd like to speak to the donor…that is…negotiating it…’. ‘No, no. The donor now is…ehm…Carl Icahn. You're gonna speak to Carl Icahn. You know Carl, a great businessman’. You have so many people, they call…all these business people call.
 
So…a friend of mine. So I called, I say, ‘you're actually doing that…’, and then jokingly, I said, ‘how long did it take to get started?’, ‘Did you have to get an environmental impact study approved in order to excavate…?’. He looked at me, he goes, ‘I hope you're kidding when you say that! They conceived of the idea, they started digging for hours later…–CROWD LAUGHS–…okay? There's no…you know, go through 25 years of environmental impact, you're gonna hurt the snail, you're gonna hurt this, you're gonna…they're doing a big thing! They excavated massive, massive…take a look! Massive…the biggest excavator…
 
They're ripping their hell out of that ocean! –CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY–…they're ripping it. And they're taking that dirt, and they're putting it in the building airfields, and they're building forts. We couldn't do it because…just like I said for the wall…legitimately, they couldn't get an environmental impact statement. Now, that's probably not the only reason it didn't happen. I heard their costs were too high. With me, that's easy. You know, I'm doing the Old Post Office in Washington…I'm under budget…I'm ahead of schedule.
 
Hey, look at…look at the campaign! THERE IS A–…guy’s at 59 million…and he's down at the bottom! I'm nothing, and I'm at the top, it's the same thing! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I actually said…it’s funny, the other day I got this great review. They said, ‘Trump is a great speaker. The crowd is spellbound. But here's one problem…’, and I'm reading, I wanna see…. ‘the problem is…he speaks through the applause’. In other words, like I say that, you applaud, I start talking before you finish your applause…and you know why? Because I'm so excited because we have so much potential! –CROWD APPLAUDS–…it’s true! I don't wanna wait for your freaking applause! –CROWD GOES ‘WOW! –…we have…I have so many…things…we have…we have so much potential! There's so many things to do! I don't really sort of wanna wait! I wanna do it! And I just noticed…I did it again! You were getting ready to give a big applause, cause you like that…and I'm speaking! I kill the applause! But he's right! He's right! But, except…I'm not a speaker, what I am…is a doer. I get things done! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. I get things done!
 
So…so when the people…up on the stage with me. And Hillary. Hillary doesn't have a clue. By the way, you talk about low energy? She has lower energy than Jeb Bush…which is hard to believe! She does! –CROWD LAUGHS AND THEN APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. And I'll tell you: and I've been saying it. And maybe it's rude, maybe it's not. But it doesn't matter. We have a much bigger problem. We have to save our country. So if I'm rude…and if people think I'm rude…I'm actually a nice person. I have a big heart. I wanna help people. I wanna help the…migration! I wanna do…a…safe zone in Syria! I don't want them coming here. We don't know who these people are! They're undocumented! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They're undocumented…
 
And we should do a safe zone over there. We should have the Gulf states, Saudi Arabian, these states, they are not spending. They gotta spend! They gotta pay! You know, we're protecting them; we're doing…they wouldn't be there for two minutes if we were not protecting them! They gotta to start paying! They're not taking anybody! Okay? How about Germany? Taking millions of them…can you believe what she's doing to that country? And she was The Person of the Year, and I wasn't. Everybody said ‘Trump was supposed to…’…–CROWD BOOS–…hey, what are you gonna do? I think she's made…I think…I think she's made…I think she's made a terrible mistake. We'll find out! Time will tell. They're having tremendous crime problems. I think she's made a terrible mistake.
 
But what I like…is…in Syria, with other people's money, meaning the Gulf states, and others…and Germany, and others! Because look, Germany's paying a fortune to accept all these people! They'll give us to them…we do a massive…safe zone. And then eventually, when this whole catastrophe straightens out, which I'll probably be able to get it straightened out, I understand that stuff…–CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY–…but, once is straightened out, they can go back home to their country. You know…to their area.
 
It's interesting. I have thousands of people that work for me. Thousands. And have people that come from far…they're all here legally, don't worry about it, I use e-verify INAUDIBLE. But…but…I have people…I have people… oh, DO– they go and check!? The…ehm…these guys go check. They went into the Old Post Office checking. Everybody walked out door, ‘are you here legally? are you here legally?’…–MR. TRUMP REPRESENTS THE PRESS BUT IN A LOWER AND MOCKING TONE. THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. They said they found one person out of hundreds, and hundreds…I don't believe it, okay? I don't believe it. But…but, you know, it's possible somebody said…hey! …we do have 11 million people in the country…and it's probably a much higher number than that, okay? It's probably a much higher number. But we have to do something about it. And we're going to do.
 
So I just wanna finish by saying this, look: we have…a situation…that's out of control. Our country is a dumping ground for the rest of the world; we’re laughed at by the rest of the world…–CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY–…and when I started this journey, and it's a journey! And I do love you people, I…you're amazing people! And by the way, you're so smart. You know, a lot of times they'll…–MR. TRUMP REFERS TO THE PRESS–…say, ‘well, Mr. Trump's people are blue collar’. I love blue collar. I'm…honored by it. But they’re not blue collar! I mean, we have blue collar, and we have executives, and we have young people. They said, ‘it…the audience's older…’, it's not older! The audience is young! The other night in Iowa, I told that, and I said, ‘we have so many young people!’, the place erupted…they're all young people! We have an amazing…thing…happening…it's just…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…look, that's their way of marginalizing…not even me! It's marginalizing you. It's disgusting. I mean, it's disgusting.
 
But…when I started this journey, and that's what it is! It's a journey. And it's a movement that's taking place. It's a movement! Remember the old days? Silent majority? It's not right. It's a noisy majority, people are angry! It's a noisy majority! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…these aren't silent people anymore. I go to people you can't even hear! This is…an…an amazing thing that's happened.
 
I received a call from one of the biggest reporters, who happens to be liberal, but that's okay. I mean, we can have a couple of them, right? –CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. But, a…guy who is really respected, recently. And he said, ‘how does it feel?’.
I said, ‘how does what feel?’.
He said, ‘what you have done…has never been done…in the history of politics in the United States’.
I mean, even CNN said ‘number one political story of the years: Trump’. You know who number two was? ISIS! ISIS was two! I'd rather reverse it. Let ISIS be one, let me be two, cuz I wanna knock the hell out of them, and make me number one next year…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY–…make the number one next year!
 
But this reporter…who's a…great intellect, actually. And…and…a very smart guy, very good guy. He said…he said, ‘what you've done has never been done before’…in the history of this country! Newt Gingrich…–AN AMERICAN POLITICIAN–…was on a television show the other day, HE–…said, ‘this is one of the great phenomenons I've ever seen in politics! Nobody has ever seen it!’. Because crowds like this…? Forget it. I mean, it's only…confined in this venue…again, they sent 3,000 people home! Can you believe it!? Three…more than three thousand! It's…it's unbelievable what's happening! It's beautiful what's happening! It's beautiful what's happening! But Newt Gingrich said he's never seen anything like this. But he said to me…the reporter, he said, ‘IT’S– never been done before’.
I said, ‘well, you know…it's fine, but if I don't win, it's just a waste of time’.
He goes, ‘no, no, no…what you've done is incredible’.
He said, ‘even if you don't win…what you've done is incredible. You've totally…changed…the landscape of politics’…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, but…no…don't applaud! Don't applaud! Don't applaud!
He said, ‘you've totally changed the landscape of politics. It's forever going to be different. Your campaign has never been anything like it’. Okay. And he was overnight.
I said, ‘you don't understand. You don't understand. If I don't win, I will consider this…’, and I mean this, ‘…a total, and complete waste…of time’. I really do.
 
So…because we're not gonna do anything! It's wonderful! Good I had a nice crowd, so write about me every once in a while. Every two years I’ll have a story, ‘Trump brand is rather good campaign’… If we don't win, to me…and honestly, you should feel the same thing. If we don't win…it’s a total waste of time. Because you have somebody else in there, they won't be able to do what I do. They're not gonna be able to sort…and even…if you get one of these Republicans in. Like I…didn't finish the Mexico…so…the wall! When I say, ‘Mexico is gonna pay’, they all laugh,  they'll go ‘hahaha’…–MR. TRUMP REPRESENTS THEM MOCKINGLY. THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY–…they think it's funny! Honestly! These are people…they think it's funny! They're laughing. Now, you know, lightly, like, ‘hohoho, that's so funny, hahaha’.
 
They’re gonna pay for the wall folks! They’re making billions, and billions, and billions of dollars…on deficits that we have…with Mexico! The wall is peanuts! They’re gonna pay for the wall! But I mention it…Now they don't laugh, because they suddenly agree with me.
 
And then the other day, one of the…people said…it was Ted Cruz, who's a nice guy. But he said, ‘we're gonna build a wall at the southern border!’. I said, ‘whoa!’. And my wife is sitting…–CROWD LAUGHS–­… ‘where did that come from?’, right? No! Ted's a good guy! But he said! …at…on…one…of…the…I think he was on FOX! He was being interviewed. And he said, ‘we're going to build a wall at the southern border…’, he didn't say Mexico was gonna pay for it, he hasn’t gone that far yet, but…believe me…that’s gonna happen…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
 
See? They're all trying to catch up with me. Because when I did this stuff…it was very…out there. Now I'm the one that everybody wants to sort of…aspire to. But what happens…is…so Ted's up and he's talking. And…you know, routinely, ‘we're gonna have the border, we're gonna have this and that…and we're gonna build a wall’. My wife is sitting there, she's…‘darling! Did you hear that!? He just said they're gonna build a wall! That's the first time I’ve…I've ever…you know, that's what you say!’. She hasn't heard that from that any other candidate!
 
Okay, so we're gonna build a wall…Mexico's gonna pay for it! There are so many things we're gonna do! But when I…when I started the journey…it was amazing. I came down, IT–…took courage! I went down into the lobby of Trump Tower, on the escalator, with Melania. I have never seen…it looked like the…Academy Awards, the press. We have a lot of press here today! All live. Look at all those live cameras…–MR. TRUMP MAKES A DESPISING GESTURE. A MEMBER IN THE CROWD INTERRUPTS THROUGH AN INAUDIBLE STATEMENT AND MR. TRUMP LAUGHS.
 
So…so…when I came down…when I came down in the escalator, we came down…and…I said, ‘we're gonna do things’, and I mentioned illegal immigration. You wouldn't even be…talking…about…illegal immigration…it wasn't even on the radar. Nobody was talking about illegal immigration. Is that right? Now it's one of the big subjects. And that's why…and one of the beautiful polls that came out, and I'm so proud of it…CNN just came out with a poll, A–…couple of…I guess a week ago, 36 percent for ‘Trump’, second is 16, third is 14, then 12. So they’re way down. But…on the economy, they give me fifty five…fifty-five percent! That's with 16 people, at the time! –CROWD APPLAUDS. On the budget…I mean, I understand, the budget, the economy…I win. I win it hands down. All right.
 
But listen to this: on illegal immigration, I'm almost at 50 percent! And on ISIS likewise, almost at 50 percent. So…people…want to be protected. They wanna feel safe. They need strength. They need toughness. They need smarts! I don't wanna be tough! You know, I know a lot of tough guys, but they're not smart. And they're the…they're the easiest! You can be tough…you gotta be smart. Let's start smart first. You gotta be smart…tough. You gotta be tough. Because the world is trying to take advantage of us.
 
So what happens is this: I came out, I started…I did, it I was oh! That first couple of weeks with…illegal immigration, and Mexico, and all of the stuff…then cake was killed in San Francisco, and…Jameel was killed in…Los Angeles. Jameel show, an unbelievable young man, HE–…was killed just shot, right through the head, by an illegal immigrant. Kate was shot by a guy…came in five or six times, shot in the back. Ehm…so many great people! And then that…that's…these are two, so many! And then you have the economy, and the jobs that have been lost. And…people aren't paying taxes! And…all of this stuff! Right? And all of a sudden people are coming over! And I'd say the wall, and now they're starting to say, ‘the wall’. We have to be progressive in our thinking! When I say ‘progressive’ I mean like smart! I'm not talking progressive like a Bernie Sanders would say.
 
This guy wants to tax you…–CROWD LAUGHS–…think of it! Think of it! This guy wants to raise your taxes to 90 percent! No, no, think…you'll have to move out of this…I love this area, by the way. I've been here many times, a great golfing area, right? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We love it. No more golf if Bernie Sanders…no more golf! No, no you won't have any golf anymore. They won't be…you won't have any money left to be golfing…you'll be paying it in taxes. This guy is a total disaster. And I'm not saying that…I’ll tell you what. You know, Hillary said, ‘well, I'd like to run against Trump’. Believe me! This poor Chuck Todd’s Meet the Press…his…his show is dying, and he keeps saying, ‘do it, do it’, but I never liked it. You know, I just…he never treated me fairly.
 
So I do a show, he gets the highest ratings he's had in years. He went from like…believe me, I won't even give you the numbers, they were massive…the numbers, right? I saved his life. And then he goes, ‘Hillary Clinton said that she would most like to run against Donald Trump. And…yes, and they're looking forward to it’. Trust me, the last person…she's already gotten a dose last night, do you agree? She had a tough night. She had a tough night. She had a tough night looking at the beauty pageant, okay? –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
So Hillary Clinton said…and his Chuck Todd…and he's a nice guy, I'm not trying to knock him please don't be insulted Chuck. But… ‘she says she doesn't like him’…–MR. TRUMP PAYS ATTENTION TO A MEMBER IN THE CROWD WHO HAS JUST INTERVENED. But…he hasn't treated me right! So…he goes, ‘the Clinton campaign…said that they’re most liked to run against Trump’, like I'm some kind of a sap…–CROWD LAUGHS. So I come, I said, ‘Chuck, let me explain something. when they say they wanna run against me, that means they don't wanna run against me. Do you understand that? Do you understand? It's reverse psychology’. They say they wanna run against me…
 
First of all, I'm winning and tied in the polls now. And I haven't even hit her yet. But, look at what happened to all the guys I hit! Their gonzo! They're gone! Or they're failing badly! Okay’ And they'll be gone soon. But Hillary Clinton, think of it. I say, ‘so Chuck, report it…like properly. Trust me. They don't wanna run against ‘Trump’. The last thing she wants in her whole life is…’. This was only…I did this in like 15 minutes…what happened…to them. Because the husband wants to come. And she wants to accuse me of things…and the husband’s is one of the great abuses…of the world…? Give me a break! Give me a break! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Give…me…a break!
 
So the last person she wants to run against…–IS–…me. Now, here's the story, look…here's the story, it’s very simple: so…I…I announced. And I was talking about trade; I was something about the wall; I was talking about the borders; I was talking about…ehm…Obamacare; I was talking about…the Second Amendment, IT–…will be saved, by the way, Second Amendment. It will be saved! The Second Amendment is going to be with us. So if I'm president…you know, they're doing everything. They wanna get rid of the bullets now. They're doing…everything they can. Think of Paris, think of Los Angeles. Think if you had some guns in Paris, on the good side, right? They had no guns. Paris is the toughest gun laws in the world, folks! And France…I mean, you get caught with a gun…it’s about…the only one has guns are the bad guys.
 
So they go in these various places. They called the guy the mastermind. He's a moron. I mean, this guy was a moron. I call him the guy with the dirty hat, right? They got him, so good. By the way, the French police did a great job, and our Los Angeles police did a phenomenal job. They did a great job! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But think: wouldn't it be wonderful…if…let's see…–MR. TRUMP NOW STARTS POINTING AT INDIVIDUALS IN THE CROWD–…this guy, right here, in front of me, he’s a tough guy. This guy, with the hat, with a lousy head of hair, but he's a strong looking guy…–CROWD LAUGHS–…right here…this guy, right there, see? And that…would wouldn't it be nice…if they had…a gun…on their ways? Somebody. Him, him, him! So that when they said, you know they were doing in Paris? ‘Get over here, boom. Get over here: boom. Your turn, get over here, boom!’. A hundred and thirty people, with more to follow, cuz they're people that are so badly injured right now in hospitals, other people are gonna die.
Same thing over there! These are people…that gave a party…in honor of their marriage! There's something going on folks! It's wrong! They gave them a party…they worked there…they gave them a party! She came in and a fiancé permit or something nonsense. And she was radicalized. And he was probably radicalized by her, or he was already radicalized. And people knew that they were radicalized! And people in the area knew that they had bombs all over…! …who the hell doesn't know you're the next door neighbor…? And they didn't wanna talk about it! You gotta report these people! We got a real problem! You gotta report them! No more nonsense! They didn't report them! And the reason they didn't is because they don't disagree with them so much, okay’ Believe me, it's not because they were afraid. You saw the one ‘it wasn't politically correct to report them’. They didn't wanna report them. I mean, give me a break! So we have to change!
 
So it started off with me! Where I was gonna talk about trade; I was gonna talk about all the things; I was gonna talk about the military, building it up; I was gonna do all of this! But after Paris, and California, and there'll be others. Because they have no fear of us. But after Paris, and California I’ve…totally changed! And my poll numbers were up ten points, it's amazing! And went up ten points. I said, ‘why? Do you think it was the debate?’, cuz I did good in the debate! They said, ‘no, people view you as a tough cookie that's not gonna take this crap! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. You know? That’s what it is!
 
And…now I talk about protection. I talk about…trust me, the trade, oh! That's so easy for me! I got the greatest guys in the world. They're gonna come in; they're gonna do a great job. I'm gonna do some of myself; I always talk about Ford, they're gonna build a plant…two and a half billion, in Mexico. Not gonna happen with me. That's stuff…those deals are no good! Ford it’s leaving, they’re closing plants all over Michigan…to build a plant…in…in…Mexico. How the hell does that help us!? Okay? Who are the people that think this is a good thing for us?
 
And in the meantime in Michigan, and other places, we have plants closing all over the place!? And they're spending…think about it, two and a half billion dollars. Then they're gonna sell cars, trucks, and parts, into the United States. No tax, no nothing. I'll say, you’re gonna have to pay a tax, folks’. And you know what? Ford will say, ‘If I have to pay a tax, we're gonna stay in the United States’. I mean…it's very simple! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's very simple!
 
How about…? …two weeks ago, Nabisco announced…the big…Chicago! They announced they're gonna leave Chicago, with one of their big plans. They’re gonna move it to Mexico. Watch my statement, we're not eating Oreos anymore, right? No more. But I don't want this! Not gonna happen! Then they're make…they're gonna make products, and they're gonna sell it into the United States…not gonna happen! It's not gonna happen!
 
And by the way, I'm a free trader. I believe…but it's gotta be smart! I mean, we gotta get something! We don't get anything out of anything! We don't get anything! We lose on everything! That Iran deal was a disaster. By the way, think of the Iran deal for one second! I always said…and this he came to me two weeks ago. I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner, I’M–…very disappointed with myself…–CROWD LAUGHS. The Iran deal is the worst still have ever seen negotiated, okay? I'm wrong! You know what the worst deal is? Iran's a part of that one too. We gave them Iraq. That's even better. Think of it: we gave Iran Iraq. Iran has…the biggest…think of it: they're gonna have the richest of all…if you go to Iraq, take a look! Among the largest oil reserves…in the world! We gave them…by decapitating Iraq. And then leaving, cause frankly, once we did it, we should have kept 20,000 troops as some say…
We give…Iraq! So not only did they make a great deal…in terms of…the Iran deal that we know…having to do with nuclear. We also gave them…Iraq. We gave them Iraq…that they've been after for a hundred years! We handed them…! So now they have the largest oil reserves among in the world. That's even better than the original deal. I mean, whoever's representing Iran is doing a hell of a job! Okay? That was the stock, you gotta buy something.
 
So we…are not gonna have deals like that. With me…? It's not gonna happen. We're gonna become rich again. We're gonna become safe again. And we're gonna become…strong again…–CROWDS CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And you're gonna remember this moment. This is going to be an important moment, for all of us! The one thing I have to say, and I have to ask you to do: go out and vote. It's gonna be your turn…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…number three. Remember, starts on February 1st, with Iowa. We go to New Hampshire…then we go to the forums. Three weeks. We got four weeks to go, and then we have three weeks after we start. No matter what's going on in your life, you gotta go and vote. Because if you don't, it's not gonna happen. Don't sit back and say, ‘oh, Trump's gonna do well. He’s a…’. The more we can win by…you know, the more power we have in a sense. Because it's like…a mandate. But you gotta go out and vote.
 
And I will tell you this: it's been an honor to be here. I love this area. I love the people here. It's been an honor. But we…will…make…America…great…again…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I promise. Thank you. Thank you.
 
Thank you.
 
Thank you everybody!
 
Thank you!
 
Thank you everybody!
