Thank you so much. Unbelievable. Look at this crowd! Look at this crowd! Wow! Wow! Wow! Look at this crowd. Thank you so much.
To be here on a Friday morning…and some of you are supposed to be at work, and some of your kids are supposed to be at school…-THE CROWD CHEERS-…huh? Look how young! So young.
You know, in New Hampshire we won in every single category. Men…women…young…old! Highly educated…; not so well educated…; everybody loves us. It's a movement! We have a movement going on, folks. We have a moment…-THE CROWD CHEERS.
And…we can't blow the movement. We have to make sure we get a big mandate. We have to go out. Tomorrow we have to go out and vote. No matter what you're doing, you have to just say, ‘I've gotta take ten minutes. I've gotta go out and vote. [It’s] so important.
I've been going around. Yesterday we did five…speeches! Maybe…more! It was almost like I was an automatic. Wind me up, go out and speak. And I’ll tell you, the crowds are unbelievable. The people…in this country are…amazing. Amazing! …-THE CROWD CHEERS.
So, you know, the theme, make America great again, right? Make America great again. But, over the last couple of weeks I've added to it, because I've gotten to know the people! And…we're gonna have things happen. We're gonna have Apple computers start making their computers here. We're gonna have Apple…start making their iPhones here…-THE CROWD CHEERS. We're not gonna be…over in China, and all these other places. We're gonna bring our jobs back! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Countries…countries have taken advantage of the United States like never, ever, ever before. They’re money manipulators. They’re currency manipulators. They cut the value of their currencies at points where…for some reason, we never…eve…talk…retribution. And…we're gonna get…our businesses back. We're gonna get our businesses back. Remember I said it! Remember I said it! …-THE CROWD CHEERS.
You read the other day, Carrier, left. [A] Beautiful company. I used to buy a lot of Carrier air-conditioners. I'm not buying them anymore. They're off the list. But, I buy…you know, thousands and thousands of air conditioners a year. I buy televisions...; I buy…; everything is made in other countries.
[If] I want televisions? South Korea. [If] I want air-conditioners? Now it's goinna be Mexico for air-conditioners, okay? [It’s] not gonna happen.
So Carrier announced…1,400 jobs, they're moving…to Mexico. You saw that, right? So I said to myself, “well, that's a problem”. And I…I thought it was very sad, just like all these cell phones that are up in the air, they're taking…like the video of the…of the man…I guess the boss, saying, “we're closing up. We're moving to Mexico. Bye, bye. Your jobs are gone”.
These are people that have worked there for years. And I said to myself, that is…terrible. And how do you do it? Now, I’m a…free traitor. And we wanna be idealistic. An idealistic is, “free trade, everyone…!”. But, China doesn't free trade with us, by the way. Just so you know. You know, Boeing is building massive plants in China. Be careful! Be careful! You have beautiful…plant…in South Carolina. You have a beautiful plant. Be careful. Because when they cut the value…of their currency, in two years after their plants are built, and you find out you're losing your business…; [it’s] not gonna happen if Trump is president, that I can tell you! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But be careful! Be careful, Boeing is uhm…you know, when they tell you they can make them cheaper over in China because they're playing the monetary manipulation game, [it’s] not gonna happen with me. How they get away with this is unbelievable. They cut…they devalued their currency…about four months ago, more than they have…in over 20 years. In one…shot! And nobody thought they were gonna devalue it more! And…not only did they do more, but it…they gave it the biggest devaluation.
So, I just say…you’d better be careful! Because these guys are master chess players…with the monetary system. [They’re] better than anything I've ever seen. And we're not gonna let it take place.
You know, we have…tremendous power over these countries. We have tremendous power over China, as an example. And we'll get along with China! I have…tenants from China! I have the biggest bank in the world as my tenant, in one of my buildings in Manhattan. The biggest in the world! By far! They’ve 400 million customers. Can you believe this one!? They're a tenant [of mine]. I sell condos to the Chinese. I deal with the Chinese government. I made one of my best deals with the Chinese. I own…a big chunk of the Bank of America building in San Francisco. 1290 Avenue Of The America’s, one of the biggest office buildings in New York, in Manhattan. I'm…deal with Chinese. The Chinese are great! They're fine! I'm not angry at the Chinese. I'm angry at our leaders for being so incompetent, and not know how to deal with them! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So I believe in free trade, okay? Cause I hear these people go, “Donald Trump is not a true conservative!”…-MR. TRUMP MOCKS THE PEOPLE THAT SAY SO WITH A SLOW AND DEEP VOICE. Well, a true conservative would never say what I'm about to say. I believe in free trade, but it's gotta be fair trade. It's gotta be smart trade. We can't lose 505 billion dollars a year like we do. Think of it. We have a trade deficit with China…five…hundred…and five…billion dollars. That's not…that's not free trade. That's stupid trade, okay? That's stupid trade…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. All right?
So they can say I'm not a true conservative. I watch Jeb Bush, “he is not a true conservative”…-MR. TRUMP MOCKS MR. BUSH WITH A SLOW AND DEEP VOICE. THE CROWD LAUGHS AND CHEERS. These people…! Where do they come from? Where do they come from!? These people are not gonna get you to the promised land, that I can tell you. They're politicians. [PA1] And every one of the people on stage with me…? We're down now to 6. Everyone wants the same…we started at 17, we're now down to six. Every single person on…on…on stage with me? They're all controlled…by industries…by companies…by lobbyists and by special interests. Remember that…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And when I wanna negotiate, with the drug companies, because we can cut 200 to 300 million…dollars…off the price of drugs! The United States…-THE CROWD APPLADUS-…think of it! 200 to 300 billion dollars. Think of it! We're gonna cut. Now, some of these guys…are controlled by the drug companies and the lobbyist. They have lobbyists, they have special interests…; they are given millions and millions of dollars. Millions! I mean, some of them have a 160 million dollars! I'm self-funding my campaign. I don't take the money. I don't take the money…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And I do the right thing. But these guys are taking money from the pharmaceutical companies…!
So, I found this out a few weeks ago! A friend of mine, who's a doctor…a very successful guy, although now he wants to retire. He said…Obamacare is destroyed his business. He said, “Donald, I have more accountants than I have nurses working for me. It's so complicated! It's horrible!”. He wants to be a doctor. He said, “it's like the worst thing I've ever…been involved in”.
By the way, we're gonna repeal and replace Obamacare. That I can tell you…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [A] 100 percent. [A] 100 percent. So many lies! Remember? “Keep your plan! You'll keep your doctor!”. All this…everything was a lie! 28 times Obama lied! You know, you get sued for fraud for that stuff, but…I don't know…nobody ever sued him! The Republicans never sued him for fraud. It's a fraud! What he said is a fraud.
Just like…what…what…I’m…one of the people I'm running against. You talk about people that lies. This Ted Cruz. This is the biggest liar I've ever seen! …-THE CROWD CHEERS. Even…I’ll tell you what was good. Even Marco Rubio said, “he's a liar!”. And when a politician says another politician is a liar…I never heard that before! I felt so good!
And then he doctored up a picture last night of Marco Rubio! I'm not sticking up for Marco Rubio, but I looked at this picture…; Marco Rubio looked like he was about four foot too tall…-THE CROWD LAUGHS-…he was shaking hands with Obama, and [it] never took place! This guy, Ted Cruz, is really a liar! I'll tell you what! I never saw anything like it! What he did to Ben Carson…in Iowa, it was horrible!
“Ben Carson is out of the race, everyone! He's quitted! He's out of the race! He's gone home! He's gone! Vote for Ted Cruz!”. A total fraud! And then he writes… ‘voter violation form’. It looks like it just came out of the IRS. It did! It looked like an official government document: ‘voter violation…’. And then it has ‘voter violation’, and the way you get rid of the violation is to vote for Ted Cruz. And these people are saying, “oh, I gotta vote for Ted Cruz”. Cause they don't know! It's unbelievable!
So I'll tell you what I've learned. Politicians are really dishonest! Yeah! …-THE CROWD CHEERS. The difference is, at least I can call them out, because we have a big voice. So, at least, I could call them out.
But let me just tell you. When it all started, on June 16th, I came down the escalator. I'd never saw so many…photographers. And…I mean it looked…I always say it, it looked like the Academy Awards…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. I've never seen anything like it. And this isn't easy! I mean, running for president…? It takes guts, let me tell you! Especially…I've never done this stuff before! …-THE CROWD CHEERS. It takes guts! It takes guts!
And…I know the system, and I was really an establishment guy on June 15th , and in June 16th, I was probably the world's worst establishment person. They said, “what happened to Donald!? He's running! We don't want him to run! He's not gonna take any of our money! We're not gonna be able to control him! We're not gonna be able to keep our drugs from being bid!
So…my doctor. So the guy comes in. He says, “you know, Donald, the United States is the largest drug purchaser in the world”. It makes sense. With Medicare, and Social Security…which by the way, we're leaving alone. We're not cutting your Social Security, folks. Just to put it at…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And he said, “and you know that they don't bid…the drug prices? That people pay…X dollars at the drugstore. The United States for the same drug pays pretty close to that price”.
I said, “you gotta be kidding!”. He said, “Don, could you explain to me why?”.
Now, first it took me about 30 seconds to get over the shock. But then after that I said, “very simple. Because all these guys are paid off”. Paid off! They’re politicians!
I mean, Woody Johnson of Johnson & Johnson is the head of campaign finance for…for…Bush! For Jeb…-THE CROWD BOOS. No, he’s the head of campaign finance for Jeb Bush. So what do you think Jeb Bush would do? Do you think he'd say, “oh, we've gotta come down hard on the drug companies!”. I don't think so.ç
The other guy…is controlled by the oil companies! You look at…you look at…he's controlled by the oil companies! Okay? And it's terrible! So he's got…oil control…; everyone of them is controlled by big groups of people, all right? But Cruz…is totally controlled by the oil companies! Take a look at who’s giving him money.
You know, one thing good about the system, it's reasonably transparent, although there are ways that people can't find out. They're always you can do it, where…nobody really knows.
But take a look at who's giving Ted Cruz the money. And then he tries to act like he's independent, “oh, I'm so independently”. He’s…he’s the least independent maybe up there…! There's no independence. He tells people…that, “I'm gonna help you with Wall Street! Big, bad Wall Street is terrible, what they're doing…!”. And yet he borrowed a million dollars with a personal guarantee. At a low interest rate! A rate that you would be very proud to pay…he got a…you know…a phony…a phony. But he tells everybody, “I'm gonna protect you!”. You know, he's Robin Hood.
So then on his filing…and he's got like a two-page filing! I have 100 pages. I’d…almost 100 pages. He's got like this little tiny filing. He forgets to mention…that he's borrowed money from Citibank, Goldman Sachs…and the rate of interest is like…uh…Rockefeller at his prime would have to pay. Okay? [It’s] so low. He forgot! And he didn't put it down on the form! He never put it down on the form, that he borrowed a million dollars! And in fact he said he's gonna liquefy. He's gonna sell stuff because he doesn't wanna borrow from Wall Street. But he borrowed from Wall Street! He lied! This guy…I never saw a guy like this!
So he went out, and he borrowed a million dollars. He…submitted his papers to the…federal government, and…missing from the papers was the fact that he had loans from two major banks, okay? And then he talks about how he's gonna get…; well Goldman Sachs…I know the guys at Goldman Sachs. They have total, total, total control over him. Just like they have total control over Hillary Clinton. They have total [control]. But they have…no control…they have…no control…over Donald Trump. I don't want their money…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. I don't need their money…! They have no control.
So…thank you…-A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS ‘I LOVE YOU DONALD!’. Thank you! I love you too. Look at this guy! Thank you, man. Thank you.
So what happens…and, so we gotta get to work, that's the truth. What happens…well, I wanna get this thing over, with…I'm …I’m so anxious to negotiate! You know, we can…we can knock…trillions of dollars! There's so much waste…; fraud…; abuse…in our government. You look at the VA, the Veterans Administration…it's a fraudulent enterprise! You look at what happened in Phoenix, at the Veterans Administration. It's…it’s…one of the great frauds I've ever seen! These people are living…that run it…they're stealing money like I’ve never seen anything…; it's as bad as anybody. And everybody knows it. I guess you've read about it! But it's not only Phoenix, it's all over. We're gonna get to work. I cannot…; look, it says, ‘I'm ready to work on wall’, okay…-MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CROWD. HE’S PRESSUMABLY READING A BANNER. ‘On the wall’. Oh, ‘on the wall’! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're gonna build the wall! We're gonna build the wall! Look at this guy! Wow! We're gonna build the wall! Wow, that's so beautiful!
I thought he said, ‘I'm ready to get to work on wall!’. I thought he was talking about Wall Street! And that's okay too. Wall Street is a good place. But he goes, “I'm ready to work on the wall!”. We're gonna build the wall! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Are you ready? Are you ready?
Who is going to pay for the wall!? …-THE CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’. Who? …-THE CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’ AGAIN.
So, you know, Mexico…we had a little thing yesterday. The Pope was great. He made a beautiful statement this morning. They had him convinced that illegal immigration…immigration is like a wonderful thing. Not wonderful for us. It's wonderful for Mexico, it's not wonderful for…; and just so you understand, I have a very good relationship with Mexico. I have a phenomenal relationship with Hispanics. We're going very soon to Nevada. After this, we go to Nevada. Then we have the SEC.
A poll just came out, in Nevada. I'm leading with Hispanics. They know I'm gonna bring jobs back from China, from all over the place…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They get it! They get it. But, one of your ex-presidents of…Mexico, I believe it was Calderon, [he] said…he gave a news conference. He said, “Trump, we will not…pay…for the wall!”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
So the news…those guys, one of them standing right back there, said to me, “president Calderon said you will not pay. That they will not pay for the wall. May I have your response?”.
[Do] You know what I said? “We're gonna make the wall now 10 feet taller”…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. 10…feet…taller. Believe me…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. 10 feet taller! And every time they protest, it's gonna go up a little bit higher…-THE CROWD CHEERS.
But these politicians, they come over to me, after one of the events…I said, “yep, we're gonna build a wall…and Mexico is gonna pay for the wall!”.
First they say, “oh, you can't build a wall!”. China…2,000 years ago, built a wall that's 13…thousand…miles long. And they didn't have Caterpillar tractors like we do. And we only wanna use John Deere and Caterpillar. We don't wanna use Komatsu, right? We don't wanna use Komatsu. We're gonna use our tractors.
So our wall it's 2,000 miles, but we only need a thousand, because you have a lot of natural barriers. So this politicians come up, a couple of them. They said, “you really don't think you're gonna build a wall. Do you?”.
I said, “[it’s] so easy! So easy!”. We go with the precast systems, right up top. It'll be so beautiful…so tall…; see the ceiling? That's [a] pretty high ceiling, but that ceilings probably peanuts. I think I can get it higher than that. That’s a pretty high…-THE CROWD CHEERS. Usually I look up, and the ceiling is like 10 feet! I'm saying…what? That's a pretty high sucker, but I'll tell you what…we'll go higher than that. Let's put it this way: we’ll go so high that if they get up there, they're not gonna come down. They’re gonna say, “I'm not coming down”…-THE CROWD CHEERS.
And by the way, we're gonna have a door on the wall! It's gonna be a big, beautiful door. And you know what's gonna…? People are gonna come into our country, but they're gonna come in…legally! They're gonna come in legally.
So these politicians come up to me, and they're nice people, a lot of them are nice! [A] couple of them don't like it all, actually. But…[a] lot of them are nice. And they come up to me, and they say, “you really can't build”. Yes, you can. And I explained it to them, and they say, “oh, I didn't know that. Okay”.
Then they come up and they say, “you really can't get Mexico to pay for that wall. Can you!?”. I say, “[it’s] so easy!”. They say, “there's no way!”. And then they go on television, “there's no way Mexico….”. It's tough to negotiate with people when you have your own side saying you can't do it, right? But this is still an easy negotiation.
So, we have this massive trade deficit…with Mexico. We give tremendous subsidy in many different forms to Mexico! You know why! Because we're led by stupid people, that's why we do it, okay? We give massive subsidy to Mexico. The wall is gonna cost 10 to 12 billion dollars. That's peanuts…! …peanuts…compared to the deficit! …which is 58…billion dollars a year, by the way. 58 eight billion a year! The walls gonna cost…probably, if I do it Rolls Royce, if I call it…Trump, cause if I call Trump we're gonna have to do a really nice wall, right? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. I'm not gonna call it Trump. I'm not gonna call it Trump! But I have to make it nice, cause someday somebody will say, “we're gonna call it the Trump wall, because, boy does it work good, and does it look beautiful!”. So we're gonna build a beautiful wall. But Mexico is gonna pay for it, folks! And it's so easy! It's so easy!
You know, all of these countries…like…China. China could solve our North Korea problem…if we had smart people at the head of our government. Because China…has taken from us…so much money, so many jobs…; China has rebuilt itself with what they’ve…taken it out of the United States, okay? They've rebuilt themselves. I call it the greatest…theft in the history of the world, what China has taken. And we owe them one point seven trillion dollars! We owe them money! Can you imagine? They took our jobs…; they took our base…; they took our manufacturing like nobody's ever…; they took our money. And, again, I don't dislike China! I wish our people could deal with them!
I have Carl Icahn…endorse me. One of the smartest guys. [A] business guy. We have the smartest business people in the world. [They’re] better than the Chinese, by the way. We have the smartest business…; we don't use them! We use political hacks…to negotiate multi, multi, multi-billion, and even trillion dollar deals! People that have no clue!
We use…Caroline Kennedy in…Japan…as our chief…negotiator. She's the Ambassador to Japan1 She didn't even want the job! She just went to looking for…; did you ever see that 60 minutes? They say, “how did you get the job?”. And by…they did a picture…a profile on her. Like they did Putin and Trump. And Caroline Kennedy. And they go…; she walks in, “how did you get the job?”.
“Well, I went to the White House, and I asked them for a job, because I had nothing to do”. I'm telling you, if you check the tape, it's gonna be pretty close. I mean, a little different…but pretty close…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
And they said, “what do you mean you have nothing to do?”.
“I just have nothing to do!”.
“Oh, would you like to be the Ambassador to Japan!?”.
She goes, “really!?”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. And I think she's a nice person because my daughter Ivanka likes her. So, when my daughter Ivanka likes her, I like her. Okay? I just don't want her negotiating! I want one of the killers negotiating for us! Is that okay!? …-THE CROWD YELLS ‘YES!’.
You know, I…I know…I know the best. I know the best. I know the worst. I know the ones that are overrated. I know the ones you've never heard of that are better than all of them…; we will have the smartest people…negotiating our deals! You know, we don't win anymore! We don't win on trade. We don't win in…the military! ISIS! We can't beat ISIS! Can you imagine…telling general George Patton…that we can't beat ISIS!? He would start laughing at you, and then smack you in the face…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. It’s true!
And in modern day, he'd be immediately thrown out of the services because he was not nice. Because he wasn't politically correct. He was a rough guy! We need…rough, but we need smart. Smart is first, rough is second. If you can’t get rough…you got to get the combination…; you can’t get rough and not smart. Okay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS.
You know, over the years I've dealt with a lot of rough guys. Really rough. But they're not smart. They're easy. You need the combination. And we have them! West Point…; Annapolis…; Air force academy…; we have…people…that will be great leaders, but we don’t use them! Because everything today is political correctness.
Seriously, George Patton was one of the roughest guys. He would talk rough to his men. His men…and…in those days it was all men. Excuse me, ladies, but it was all men in that case. But his people, but his men would die for him. They would die for him! They would fight for him, no matter what he has! They loved him! He was a rough guy! We don't have that anymore! We need…we need the right people.
I watch generals being interviewed all the time. And, I don't want my generals being interviewed. I wanna be unpredictable. You know, they'll say one little half sentence…-THE CROWD CHEERS. It's true! [It’s] like the press oftentimes… “what would you do about ISIS!?”…-SOME MEMBERS OF THE CROWD ARE YELLING ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY. Thank You, man. Thank you. Oh, that's nice! Are they friends or not?
Out! Get him out! Get him out! Get him out of here! Come on, Keith! Go, get him out! Get him out! …-THE CROWD CHEERS, BOOS, AND THEN CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY.
You know, it…it’s really amazing. You know, you have a couple of guys, they're gonna get a little publicity for themselves. All we're looking for is the same thing. We want security. We wanna take care of our vets. We wanna have good jobs. We wanna have a nice home, or house, or apartment. We wanna have a safe family. We're all looking for the same thing! Where do these people come from!? Where do they come from!? Really, it's a…it’s so sad. It's so sad. It's so sad. Ah…! …-THE CROWD STARTS CHANTING ‘WE WANT TRUMP!’. Don’t hurt him. Don’t hurt them. Don't hurt him but get him out. It’s so sad. Don't hurt him!
You know, I've gone through this, and…and…and, here's the good thing about the protesters. They show how big the crowd is, cause these guys never show the crowd, unless I have a protester. Look at the size of this crowd! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They never show the crowd! Sometimes I develop my own protesters, because it's the only way they'll turn the cameras, and show the crowd.
But it is true! You know, when you think. We…it's basic things! Whether you're Democrat, whether you’re  Liberal, Conservative, Republican…; we want the same things! We wanna have safety. We wanna pay low taxes. We wanna be left alone. We wanna have a good family. We want education. We don't want Common Core…! Horrible stuff. You know, and…honestly, sometimes I think I could take a couple of these young kids, they are usually kids, sit down with them for five minutes, I think I'd convince them! But…who knows? I mean, it's just incredible.
And the sad part is we have thousands of people here today, and yet, he'll end up…getting…because he holds up a picture of a potato…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. It's really…it's really…; and that's part of the beauty. The people are so smart! And when I won New Hampshire, we won with the smart ones, with the…we won with everything! But…the people are so smart, they get it! They get it!
So, I wanna go back though to trade for a second. Because when I started, it was about trade, and the border. And it hit a note.
Then we had the Paris attack, which was horrible. A 130 people killed. We're gonna save our Second Amendment, folks, by the way. A 100 percent. A 100 percent…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Then you had the attack in California, where the 14 people…with the radicalized woman who probably radicalized the young guy…; and they get married, and they kill people that they worked with. 14 people. They killed them. They threw a wedding party for these two, and they walk in and they shot them like…uh…like…just disgusting. Disgusting…! When I see that, it's disgusting! It tells you there's something going on…; and by the way, when I say ‘ban’…temporary ban, I mean temporary ban. This country cannot afford…it cannot afford to do what they wanna do. We have so many problems! They wanna let thousands, and thousands, and thousands…of the Syrian migration come into the country! We have no idea who they are! We have no idea where they come from! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We have no idea…; there's no paperwork, there’s no anything…;
You see what's happening in Germany! You see what's happening in Sweden…of all places! I have friends that are from Germany…; three years ago, they said, “it's the greatest country in the world. We love Germany. We love…”. They called me up two days ago. They said, “we're leaving Germany!”. They're leaving! They’re going to another country. They wanna get out of Germany. What she has done to that country is disgraceful! And we're not gonna have it happen to our country. We're not gonna have it happen…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, I did this and it was about trade and border. And everybody loved what I said on the border. And they love what I said on the wall. And the wall is gonna happen. The border is gonna be strong. And people are gonna come in legally and all of that. And we’re gonna get great trade deals, because we're gonna use the smartest people in the world! And…they all wanna. They're all calling me! Karl endorse…endorsed me, Carl Icahn, but others endorsed me. They all wanna come in. They all want a piece. They don't want any money! To them it's like a chess game! They wanna do it because they wanna do it. They don't want fees, they don't want anything! The other guys want money…! These guys, they're rich people! The reason they're rich is because they're so good at this stuff! They know it so well!
They call me, they say, “can you believe what China is getting away with!?”. “Can you believe what Vietnam…”…that's a new one, by the way, “…Vietnam is getting away with!?”. They say, “can you believe what Japan is getting away with…!?”. They send cards by the millions! They come off the biggest ships I've ever seen, in Los Angeles! By the millions…! We send them like nothing! And if we send them something, they don't want it! They send it back! We send them wheat! We send them wheat! They send cars across two hundred thousand dollars each! We send them wheat! And then [if] they don't want the wheat, they send it back! Because their farmers don't want it! It's horrible! It's horrible! I mean, honestly? And we have all the cards! We have all the cards! All you have to do is say, “look, you're not treating us right”. We have to stabilize. We have to equalize. They send us…? We have to send them. It's gotta be relatively an equal amount! We're gonna get along fine with them.
You know what? The funny thing is…we are taking advantage of by every country in the world. Every country beats us. We don't win it anything. Every country beats us at trade. And yet they all hate us! You know why they hate us? Because they don't respect us! They think we're stupid people! They think [that] because our leaders are stupid, we're all stupid! We’re not stupid. That's why we have all these people in these rooms! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So it's gonna change.
And I’ll tell you about Carrier, again. I'll finish the story about Carrier. So they moved to Mexico, right? I would call, meaning...I guess it's not presidential…; a lot of people say, “you have to act…you have tremendous talent”. Somebody said, “he’s a tremendous talent”.
[Do] you know [that] Jeb Bush said, “Donald Trump is a gifted, gifted politician”.
My wife said, “I thought he was your enemy. Why is he saying that?”.
I said, “because he's stupid. What can I tell you?”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
No, he calls me a gifted politician. I never thought of myself! He said, “he's a highly gifted politician!”. Okay. So…I'm only kidding Jeb. I didn't mean that. You’re a…very nice man.
But…but, look. But I did say that to her. She said, “why is he saying that?”. If I'm fighting somebody, I'm not gonna say they're gifted at anything!
You know, Putin said, “Donald Trump is a genius”. Now, I don't know Putin at all. Okay? I never met him. We're on 60 minutes together, but we're a second [INAUDIBLE]. We got very good ratings, I was very happy about…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. But…but “Donald…”. You know, he just said it. “Donald Trump is a genius, and he's gonna be the leader of the party, and he's gonna this thing…”. He said nice things.
So these people I’m running against, they said, “we want you to disavow Putin statement!”.
I said, “why would I disavow a statement where [a] guy is calling me a genius?”. What am I? Stupid…? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And…and the way, by the way, he…he…he's not gonna be able to con me. But wouldn't it be nice if we actually got along with Russia, and some other countries? Would that be nice!? Wouldn't it be good!? …-THE CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. People don't know, I'm a unifier!
You know, Barack Obama, African-american…If I were African-american, I would be so angry at him…; African-american youth…has an almost 60 percent…unemployment rate. African-american people, that are…25-primetime…aged…25 to 40, have such a high unemployment rate [that] you wouldn't believe. It's gone up and it's gotten worse since he's been president.
Now, he's African-american. If I were African-american I wouldn’t like him very much. I will do more for the African-american people…than Barack Obama has ever done! I'll do more in one year! I will do more…-THE CROWD CHEERS-…I will do more…I will do more…for the African-american people in one year, than Barack Obama has done in his seven years, soon to be eight years, and then, by the way, he's out, and thank goodness. Okay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
So…and by the way, we're gonna have a tremendous crossover vote. You watch. You know, a poll just came out where I beat Hillary, and Bernie, very easily…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. USA Today. USA Today. I beat both of them. But you know what? We're gonna have a tremendous crossover. People have no idea.
And the other thing [that] I have that these other guys have…don't have…you know, they always talk about the six states, “we have Ohio, and Pennsylvania…” and different states that you have to win. If you don't win…; because the Republicans have a structural disadvantage. You understand that. [A] A tremendous disadvantage, in an election. In a one…[an election] for president. In a one-on-one election for President, tremendous. But I'm different. Because I have a chance to win New York…! I have…I mean, can you imagine…? If you win New York…New York is massive. If you win New York it's over! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. If you in New York, it's over! I'll win New Jersey, you know that…-THE CROWD CHEERS. I'll win New Jersey.
But I’ll win Michigan…nobody else is gonna win Michigan! Michigan loves me. I'm always talking about cars! I mean, why wouldn't they…? I go to Michigan [and] I have the biggest crowds of anybody that they've ever seen. We will win Michigan. That's not even a state that the Republicans talk about! They don't even talk about…! They don't talk about New York. Can you imagine if you pick up the delegates…? [If] you pick up New York…you're talking about the election is over!
I'll tell you what else I'm gonna do. I'm gonna get…I'm gonna do so well…with the African Americans. I'm gonna do great with them! Because they get it! They're smart1 They know jobs are gonna come in! I'm bringing the jobs back!
The Hispanics…! So they did a poll recently, and it said [that] Trump gets 25 percent…of the African-american vote. And one of the pundits, one of these geniuses back here said, “you know…”, cause the Republican usually gets four or five percent. They said, “Trump would get 25 percent”. In this poll! I don't know who did the poll. They did a poll! It said 25 percent! The pundit sai, “[do ]you know that if Trump got 25 percent of the African-american vote, the elections over. You might as well not even have it”: Okay? And I’ll get it! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And I'm gonna get all the workers. And I'm gonna get the Union and the non-union guys. I'll tell you. The Teamsters…are having a revolution! The Teamsters love Trump! The Teamsters are having a revolution. Because they don't wanna listen to their leaders, who automatically go Democrat. And their leader is actually Hoffa. He said the other day…he said, “I gotta do something here. This is a problem. If I go with Hillary, this is a problem! I've got at least talk to Trump, because all the workers want Trump!”. Okay? So whether you’re Union or not…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…they want Trump! And I…they will have a problem, you watch. [If] they endorse a guy like Bernie, who wants to charge you 95 percent tax? [If] they endorse Hillary, where it's gonna be…look, the country is gonna go down the tubes with Hillary. If she's allowed to run. I don't know. I can't imagine…; I cannot imagine…that she's gonna…after what she did, that she's gonna be allowed to run. But I think the Democrats…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…I think the Democrats are protecting her. All right.
Now, I go back. You know, I do…I have like this chess mind. [PA2] So now I go back to…Carrier, all right? We've covered China! We've covered Vietnam…! We've covered Japan! I started with…see? I have…; somebody…wrote a very nice thing…they said, “he's got this mind. It's like a trap. He goes here, and there, and there, and there, and there. And then he goes back, and he starts with…”. I remember it all. You know, it's really good. It's really good…-THE CROWD CHEERS. It’s really good. Cause it’s a web! You know what I call it? I call it ‘the web’!. It's a web. And…it all relates! Everything relates, that we're talking about. Okay? Right? Look, the woman said…you probably have a very high IQ. That's why you say that! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. It's a web!
So, now I go back to where it all began. So Carrier…they move…to Mexico. This guy, pretty…harsh…said, “it's over! You’re out of jobs!”. People working there many, many years. “You're at a jobs”. Now they'll end up working as part time jobs, because for Obamacare, they only want to hire a part-time people. You know that. A lot of part-timers that never had a part-time job in their life. They're now working part-time because they wanna keep it under the number, so they don't have to hit with and mess with Obamacare, cause it's such a disaster.
So here's what I do with Carrier: not…overly conservative, but very smart, okay? I would say…folks, here's what you do: “you are going to pay…and you are going to make…a lot of money in Mexico, and I congratulate you and your move I think it's a wonderful thing. Enjoy Mexico. Enjoy everything about it. Good luck! But here's the story: every air conditioner that you make, and every air conditioner that you send across the border, to our country, we're gonna charge you a thirty-five percent tax”, okay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And that tax is going to be used to reduce our debt, and bring up our budget, and…balance our budget. But we're gonna charge you and 35 percent tax, and that's the way it is! “Now, I hope your numbers still work, but I doubt they do”.
So, I'm gonna get called by lobbyists, but…I know a lot of the lobbyists! But they don't I don't care about them. I've used them over the years! Some are very talented. I have lobbyists where I can say, “go into that senator, and get his vote change right now!”.
“Yes, Mr. Trump!”. He'll call me up, “all done, sir. All done”. You know why? Because he raises millions of dollars for the guy. So that's bad for the country, but it's good for the company, good for the lobbyist…they make a fortune! These guys make a fortune. They totally control the people I'm on stage with.
So now I'll get a call, and they'll say, “Mr. Trump, you can't do that to Carrier”.
I’ll say, “like hell I can't”…-THE CROWD CHEERS.
And they'll say, “president Trump, please, please, change your decision! It's so terrible! You're setting a…terrible precedent! Mr. Trump…! President Trump…! This is not free trade!”.
I’d say, “no, it’s smart trade”, okay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS.
And here's what's gonna happen. Here's what's gonna happen. As sure as you're standing there, we say no, we say no, and we say no. It's over. Carrier will announce they've decided not to leave the United States. Okay? That's what's gonna happen! And they'll build a new plant, or they'll fix up their old plant. And they'll keep the people that have been so great for years…; and that's what's gonna happen!
Same thing with Ford! Ford, I've been talking about Ford now for years…! For two years. Two and a half billion-dollar plant in Mexico. I thought I’d shame them [so much] that they'd never do it again. But you need to be President to really do it properly.
So Ford announces they're gonna build a two and a half billion-dollar plant in Mexico. Do you know what a two-and-a-half billion dollar plant is? [Do] you know how big that is!? That's like…a one-story building…that's a building that goes forever. They're gonna make cars, trucks, and parts. Okay? And I say, “how does that help us?”. They're closing up plants in Michigan, and other places. They’re gonna open up this massive plant in Mexico…; and then yesterday, I read, in one of the newspapers, I won't say The Wall Street Journal, cause I think it's one of the worst newspapers I've ever read…; it’s such a pile of garbage! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. Every bad poll I get is from The Wall Street Journal. You know? Every poll…every time they do a poll, I have a lousy poll. Then I get great polls from everyone else! But every poll…I…so I don't…I don't believe in The Wall Street Journal. So I'm not a believer in The Wall Street Journal. It's a piece of garbage. It’s gonna lose a fortune, anyway. Don't worry. It'll be out of business like all the rest of them very soon.
But…-THE CROWD CHERES-…but let me just tell you. I did read this one of the Wall Street Journal, however. I must be honest. And…basically it said Ford is doubling down! That Ford opened the two and a half million…billion dollars…two and a half billion…plant! And now they're…doubling down. They’re gonna open up tremendous additional car..; Mexico is gonna become the car capital of the world! Because we let that happen! And here's what I’d tell Ford. And I say this…hundred times over:
They’d call up Hilary…she knows it's a bad deal for the United States. What's good about it? They’d close up their factories, they’d close up their plants…in Michigan and other states. They’d build as massive plant in Mexico. They’d make their cars in Mexico, with Mexican labor, and they sell them to us with no tax. How do we benefit, folks? How? In a million years…!
I went to the Wharton School of Finance…the best school…in the world…business school in the world. I think…! I think most people do. You gotta be really smart to get in, okay? Really…like…! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Like…the hardest school. The one of the hardest schools, where you gotta be so smart…okay.
So…but you don't have to go to Wharton…you can go to high school! You don't have to go to high school! You don't even have to go to high school! It doesn't help us!
So they're gonna build cars, trucks, and parts, and they're gonna…sell them to the United States. So here's what Hilary does. Hillary says “that deals horrible!”. I mean, she's not a stupid person! She says, “that deal is horrible, but then she'll be hit up with her donors, and her lobbyists, and her special interest…and they'll say, “look, you can't do that! This guy gave you three and a half billion dollars, Hillary! You can't do that! How disloyal is that!?”. Within two seconds she'll say, “all right, let it go”:
Me? No way. I don't get mine…remember one thing. Remember that I'm self-funding. Remember. You know, I don't think I get credit for that. It's such a big deal. I've already got…I think I’m up to like 25 million bucks already. You know, I thought I was doing it on the cheap. I'm still into this thing, now 25, I’ll be up a lot more. And I start spending money because…I felt guilty not spending any money!
All these guys…Jeb has spent 22 million dollars on commercials against me. People said why do I dislike Jeb? Because he spends money on commercials. If he didn't spend money on commercials, I'd leave him alone! If he was smart, he'd stop! I mean, it's much better. But they spend money! But it's not their money! It's all special interest money.
You saw that at the…debate the other day, right? The debate! These guys walk in, they’re nowhere. Cruz walks in, the oil industry starts screaming “we love you! You’re great! We love you!”.
Then he pretends like, “oh, I have nothing to do with the oil industry! I have nothing to do with the banking industry!”, because I refuse to put it down in my form, which is probably illegal, by the way, but we won't say that!
So, they're all controlled! They stand up and…I mean…; I walk in, I have no donors, I have no special interest…the room is like…I had my wife and my kids clapping for me. It was very lonely! It was very lonely! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I mean the Republican National Committee should be ashamed of themselves, for giving those tickets out to all these special interest and donors. It's disgrace. But anyway!
And I said to myself…by the way, it's not really worth it. Because I don't know…when people go into the voting booth, they're not saying, “we're voting for Trump because he didn't take any money from…”. I don't think…I don't know if I get my money's worth on this one[PA3] , I'll be honest with you, folks. I can tell you I'll have a tremendous amount of money in. And…what I said is true. I started spending a lot of money over the last few weeks, because…number one: I didn't wanna take a chance! Right? You know what I mean. I don't wanna be too cute, “oh, I'm so smart! I don't have to spend money!”.
I mean, in New Hampshire…I spent three million dollars, and Bush spent 44 million. I was first by a landslide…! You know, won went by…over 20 points! We had 36! I won by 20 points…-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. I was first in a landslide…by the way, that's 20 points over number two! That's like 35 points over Bush! But I was first in a landslide, and he's at the bottom of the pack, right? Wouldn't it be nice of our country could do that? If our country could spend less and be number one? Wouldn't that be nice!? We can do that! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We can do that!
So…so with Ford, I’d do a very similar thing. I mean, no great formula…just like…I would have done with the Iran deal. I would have said, “folks, give us back our hostages, or that’s it”. I would have walked out of the room. I would have doubled the sanctions. They would have called within 24 hours. We have our hostages. Then I would have negotiated further. I would have said, “we're not gonna give you the 150 billion, because we just don't have the money! We don't have the money! We owe 19 trillion dollars! I can’t…I…I wanna give it to you. You’re wonderful people. We love you very much. I'm not giving you the 150 billion! We don't have it! We’re a debtor nation!”…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And they'll get angry, and you know, rant and rave. They’re great negotiators, the Persians, but I'll win. Believe me, I'll win. And that's gonna be the end of that. And then we start negotiating. So now we got our hostages. We keep 150 billion. You know they're doing with 150 billion, by the way. They're buying Airbus…not Boeing! They’re buying all sorts of stuff from Europe. They’re buying Russian missiles! Who ever allow them to do missiles? And they're using the rest of the money for terror. You saw that. Where they went to Kerry and they said, “[did] you know they're using money for terror?”.
“Well, we expected that, yes. We expected…”. Can you believe [it]? This is the guy that made the deal.
So with the Ford deal, similar to the Carrier deal. I'd say, “[you] gotta move I'm not gonna let you do it”. And I'll be hit with everybody. I'll say, “nope. Every time you sell…a lousy truck…; every time you…”; see how I’ve cleaned up my act? I don't use bad language anymore. I won't! I won’t! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Because I don't even have to use bad words, and I get in trouble! Do you know that I did one…; a week ago…a week ago in New Hampshire, where I said…and I said, “ah!”. And I just like…just like, “ah…!”. I didn't say anything! In other words, I refused to say the word! And these guys bleeped it on television! And everybody thought I said the word!
They said, “his language is terrible! I never said the word! You can check it. I never said the word, I went like, “ahh”. But on television, they bleeped it! So every…they went, bleep! So everybody thought I said the word.
So here's the story. So with Ford I'd say, “you're gonna pay a tremendous tax if you go to Mexico”. Tremendous! Cause it doesn't help us! At least this way we'll get a lot of money in tax. “[It] doesn't help us. And you can do whatever you want”. I guarantee you, folks! I guarantee you [that] they don't move to Mexico. They took a plant, a…plant [that] was supposed to go…a great place, a place I love. They treat me so great in Tennessee. They were gonna build a massive auto plant…-THE CROWD CHEERS IN RELATION TO WHAT MR. TRUMP HAS SAID ABOUT TENNESSEE-…right!? I love Tennessee! I love Tennessee. No, they treat me great. We're gonna do great in Tennessee. We’re gonna do great in Georgia, in Tennessee, in Texas…we're gonna do great everywhere.
But look. They took a plant…-THE CROWD CHEERS-…they took a plant in Tennessee that was practically done, [it] was gonna be built by a big…foreign company. It was all set to be announced. It was all set…and they moved to Mexico! The last moment. [It’s]Not gonna happen! [It’s] Not gonna happen!
We're no longer gonna be the stupid people, okay? We're no longer gonna be. We're gonna be the really smart people that win. We're gonna start winning again, folks. We're gonna knock out ISIS…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
I said, “don't go to Iraq”. And I said it strongly. And I said it loud, by the way. You know, they like to say now, “oh, well maybe he didn't say…”. I was with Howard Stern, who happens to be a good guy, by the way. I was with Howard at certain…before the war! Before! Like…many months before. And the first guy [who] ever asked me about Iraq was Howard Stern. I said I said, “meh, I don’t know. Yeah, I guess. It’s all right”.
Then I started looking at it before the war started…I was against that war! I was against that war! You know, you have losers like this Karl Rove guy. This guy's a loser! What a loser! He spends all this money on races, he loses all of them. We have such…losers…in this Republican Party. We've gotta go to a different system, folks, or you're never gonna have a president. I'm telling you that right now. You're never gonna have a president.
But listen…-THE CROWD CHEERS. I will guarantee you…I will guarantee you that Ford comes back. I will guarantee you that many of these companies come back . We have killed ourselves with trade deals, but what's happened is…after…the catastrophe…in Paris, where you're not allowed to have a gun. They have the toughest gun laws in the world in France, and in Paris. And these animals walked in, and they killed 130 people. Some people are gravely injured. After that, it all changed. Everybody liked me be the best! Because they said, “he's the toughest on the border”.
Hey, I have Sarah Palin's total endorsement. I have Sheriff Joe Arpaio. I mean, how tough is Sheriff Joe? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You know, if Sheriff Joe from Arizona endorses you, you're the toughest on the border! Is that right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS Sheriff Joe! He said, “there's nobody like Trump”. Okay.
But…we have all of this! But what's happened is, after Paris…Paris took place, and then…I started being different, because I started talking about…big security. I started talking about military. I'm good at military. I'm gonna be really…it's gonna be…; people are gonna be surprised. We're gonna make our military so big, so strong, so powerful…[that] nobody is ever gonna mess with us, folks. Nobody! Nobody! Nobody! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And we're gonna get the right equipment! You know, our military buys equipment they don't want, because the companies that make certain equipment…that they don't want, are politically active, and they're politically good. How often you hear about plane that they don't want, but they're ordering them? And the plane that they do want, they’re not ordering it, even though it's cheaper, and better…! And those days are gone! Because I don't give a damn what they want! I wanna get the right stuff! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…I just wanna finish up. So what's happened is…I focus differently. And CNN does a poll. And the poll is, “who's best on the military?”. Trump by many times! I don't mean by like two percentage points. Trump is up in the 60s, and 70s!
“Who is best on ISIS?”. It's Trump. “Who's best on the border?”. It's Trump. “Who's best on the economy!?”. It’s Trump…-THE CROWD YELLS ‘IT’S TRUMP!’. No, uh…Trump. “Who's best on jobs ?”. It's Trump. All of this! All of this! The only thing I'm a little weak on is my personality, but who the hell cares, all right? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. I didn't win the personality contest. Who cares? It's no longer about…and I actually think I’m the nicest person of the group. Believe me. I love these people. I love you, and I'm not gonna let you down! I'm not gonna let you down! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS,.[PA4] 
You know…I won't use his name, but a great reporter from CBS, was very nice this morning. He said, “you know Mr. Trump, I've never seen anything like this. I've been covering this stuff for 25 years. I've never seen anything like this”. He said, “but, don't you have a lot of pressure?”. These people were here six hours ago to line up, right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS. Six hours ago. They were here six…; “isn't this a lot of pressure? Supposing you let pressure…supposing you let them down”.
I said, “you're right it's pressure. And, I'm not gonna let them down”. I'm not gonna let you down. I'm not letting you down…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, folks, we're gonna start winning again. We're gonna win with our military, and we're not gonna use it very much, by the way. By having a powerful military it's the cheapest thing we can do! We're not gonna have to use it! Nobody's gonna play with us! We're gonna be so…powerful! And it's a different military. Today it's not just about the soldiers! We have the great minds. We have the great weaponry. We have stuff that nobody else can have!
So we are gonna have a great military. Hopefully we're not gonna have to use [it]. We are gonna knock ISIS out, but hopefully we're not gonna have to use our military certainly very much.
We're gonna take care of our vets. We're gonna take care of education. We're gonna take care of health care. We're gonna take care of the wall, and the border. We're gonna take care of it. We are gonna be a great country again. And I'll tell you something: you're gonna remember this day. Tomorrow you have to go out and vote…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [You] have to go out and vote. You're gonna remember this day in two years, three years, four years…you’re gonna say: “I attended a meeting, and it was a great meeting. And that was the point at which our nation became great again”:. And you're gonna be so proud of me. And I'm gonna be so proud of you. And I love you all! And we're gonna start winning, winning, winning…again! Thank you! I love you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you everybody!
