Wow!
 
We're gonna have a good time tonight. We're gonna have a good time, right? So can everybody hear beautifully? Cause that’s very important. Everybody, right? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Good? Good? Right? So we pay for a good mic system, and if it doesn't work perfectly, we don't pay, right? The country has to do that! Our country has to do that! When things don't work, you don't pay. So…look, you know, we’ve got a lot of people standing out there. Should we wait for them? No! –CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’ –…no! But…ehm…the…this place is packed! Every night we set records. Look at these people! Are you okay up there? With all these people…–MR. TRUMP LOOKS UPWARDS, TO THE FURTHEST STAN–…that's incredible.
 
So it's an honor, you know, we had a big, big breaking story a few minutes ago. You saw that, right? Look…–MR. TRUMP SHOWS A PAPER–…you know what that is’ That's the Reuters poll. It just came out! ‘Trump’, 42…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…Cruz 14, Carson 11, Rubio 8, Christie, 3. Wow! This one came out this morning. That's NBC, and…that was a pretty good poll too! –MR. TRUMP LOOKS AT THEM. HE TAKES HIS TIME–…that's pretty good! –CROWD LAUGHS.  You know what I love about this poll? I'll tell you in a second, okay? 35, to 18, to 13, and then the rest are bing! …–MR. TRUMP PUTS HIS THUMB DOWN. No good. So we have a 42, and a 35…we're really doing well, I'll tell you. And we're winning…big, in a place called…New Hampshire…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…New Hampshire, winning big. And we're winning big, I think we're gonna win in Iowa. We're gonna find out pretty soon, but we're doing well in Iowa. CNN…CNN had a great poll in Iowa…33 to 20. And we…we are in the lead there.
 
So I don't know, we’re gonna see what happens. It’s all happening soon. February 1st we start with Iowa. February 9th, you folks. Then we go to South Carolina, where we're doing great. And then we go…you know, we have Nevada, where we're doing great. Number one with the Hispanics, and I've been saying that for a long time. Leading with Hispanics in Nevada…–CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY–…and I've been saying that! You know, I've been saying that. And then we do the SCC…–STATE CORPORATE COMMISSION, I.E., VIRGINIA–…and that's gonna be, I think, gonna be great. And then leading, also, leading in Florida. Big in Florida! Leading everywhere! We're leading everywhere. So that's good. When people say, ‘why do you always talk about the polls?, I say, ‘because I'm winning’, okay? –CROWD LAUGHS. Believe me, if I'm not winning, I don't talk about them. If I had polls where I was a quarter of a point behind, I don't even mention, I don't…I just started…you know, talking about…how we're gonna make America great again, cause that's what it's all about. That's what it's all about! –CROWD CHEERS.
 
And we've had an amazing time. I'll tell you what, we've had an amazing time. And Hillary Clinton doesn't have the strength, the stamina…–CROWD BOOS–…no, she doesn't! She doesn't have the strength or the stamina. And you know what, we can be nice and politically correct and we could say…ehm…it's…we don't have the time anymore folks! We need somebody with strength, with stamina, with energy, with big, big, big, beautiful, fat brain…–CROWD CHEERS. Cause you know, I know a lot of tough guys…okay? We're all tough. I know a lot of tough guys, gotta be a smart guy too, or a woman. You gotta be smart. You gotta be tough, you gotta be smart. And we don't have that in our government anymore. You know, I look at the Iran deal…and to me it's one of the most insulting…transactions that I've ever seen! I mean, forget about countries. It's one of the most insulting things…I've ever…seen…in my life. It's…it's…beyond belief, that somebody could be…so incompetent to do a deal like that. And…we gave…150 billion dollars. We have 24.day inspection periods. They even self-inspect in certain areas. They self-respect! In other words, ‘are you building nuclear?’.
‘Oh, we’ll call you up. We'll check it. Tomorrow’…–CROWD LAUGHS.
‘No we're not, actually. No we're not’.
 
I mean, can you believe this!? Every single point and we don't even get our prisoners back. Think of it: we have four prisoners, we don't get them back. And when this started we had three prisoners. We gotta get them back! And we should have had them back! And all they had to do is ask for them initially…–CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. No, it's terrible! I…I met the wife of the…pastor. Who's a wonderful woman, and she's there, and she doesn't know what she's gonna do. I mean, she thought he was coming out as part of the deal! But he should have come out, and they all should have come out before it even started.
 
First day, ‘we want our prisoners’. They'll say, ‘no’. And we say, ‘bye-bye!’. And we leave and we put on heavier sanctions, and within 48 hours they will be on the phone, ‘you've got your prisoners’, come on back. Then once you have the prisoners, I'd say…by the way, ‘we're not giving you a hundred and fifty billion. We're not giving you any money. We'll make a deal!’. I like the idea of making a deal! Nuclear? We gotta make deals.
 
My uncle was a professor for many years at MIT. I know the power of nuclear. I know it's good to make deals. And we have to. But they have to be good deals. They can't be stupid deals! So, I've been saying the deal has been bad. And then two weeks ago I had the thought…cause I think it's one of the greatest deals ever made, from their side. We never make good deals anymore, this country…we don't win anymore! We don't make good deals anymore! We don't do anything right anymore! Cause our politicians are…incompetent…people! They're…incompetent…people! And by the way, look at the budget…look at the budget that the Republicans, our Republicans, approved last week. The Omnibus! Obama got everything! I said to somebody…I said to one of the reporters today, ‘the only time…that Obama negotiates well…is when he negotiates against our Republicans!?’. He got everything! Everything they wanted: money for the Syrians to pour in; money for borders to pour in; our borders are open, there are pourers…money for everything! Money to fund, and continue funding…Obamacare! –CROWD BOOS–…which is a disaster, which we will…we are going to repeal and replace Obamacare…with something so…much…better…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
You know, by the way I just have to do…this is weirdest room I've ever seen…–CROWD LAUGHS. I see all these people…and…then…that, what they did is, they knocked down a wall, and they opened…I'm saying, ‘what the hell kind of a room is this? This is the weirdest…–CROWD LAUGHS. It is crazy, right? I heard, they have two rooms, at when they…I said, ‘are they separate rooms?’, ‘No, they’re together, we're taking walls down’. And I'm saying, ‘this is a weird setup!’. But you know what? I hope they don't mind…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE PEOPLE BEHIND HIM–…actually, look: in a certain way, you have the best seat. Even though they're looking at the back of my head…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY–…they have the best seat, because, look: see all those cameras’ They're gonna become famous. You might have a better view, but they're gonna become famous…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They're gonna have…what? Now you're all unhappy, now you'll wanna go over there…–CROWD LAUGHS–…look! Ah…! You knew what you were doing folks!
 
So…we have to do things, and we have to do things…you know, with Obamacare, your rates are going up 25, 35, 45 percent, your deductibles are through the roof…you'll never get to use it, you'll never get to use them. You'll never get to use them. It's so out of control…and by the way, of its own volition, it crashes…in ’17, it crashes! Because…all of the wrong people, the people that they didn't want, they needed certain other type, certain income…not happening! It's not happening! So Obamacare…will officially crash in ’17. So in other words, if I become president, I’ll say, ‘oh, great’, and I'll be blamed for this mess! Can you believe it? But I'll fix it! I'll be able to fix it! Other people won't be able to fix it. We have so many things…it’s true! Thank you! –CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. We'll fix it, okay? Go ahead! Go ahead! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY NOW.
 
You know, it's funny. I got a review. Once somebody said, ‘Trump is a great speaker. But he's got one problem: the crowd goes crazy, and it always speaks through…the applause’. And I said, that's right I do! Because I noticed it two weeks ago. They're applauding, and I'm talking while they're applauding. And you know the reason? Because…I'm so excited…about the future of the country. I really am! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You know? I don't even wanna listen to your applause! I wanna tell you what we're gonna do to make it great again! There's so many things! We're gonna do. We're gonna fix our military. We're gonna make it so strong, so powerful. Nobody is going to mess with us! We are going to fix it; we are going to do things. And you know what? It's actually a very cheap thing to do. When you do our military people, just aren't gonna be messing. We're gonna take care of…the Veterans, and by the way, the Veterans in New Hampshire are…really…up there. You have a lot of Veterans! And proportionately, a lot! And then not treated well! They are treated really badly.
 
You saw what happened in Arizona last week, where…the wait is longer than ever before. People are dying! …waiting for doctors, on things that can be fixed routinely! With a minor procedure! With pills! With minor things! They're waiting so long! Arizona is corrupt. What's happened with the VA…–US DEPARTMENT OF VETERAN AFFAIRS–…in Arizona, and it's all over! The VA system is corrupt, and it's…it's…you talk about in competence? And you talk about what's going on? We're gonna fix it. We're gonna fix…the Veterans…Administration…and we're gonna take care of our Veterans and our wounded warriors the way they're supposed to be taking care of…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
You know, when I came out, I…I…made a big statement, and I…I announced I’m running, and…in Trump Tower, and I took a lot of heat! Did I take heat or what!? And I took serious, serious ‘incoming’! As Rush Limbaugh would say, ‘he took more incoming than anybody I've ever seen’. The truth is, I took amazing! And…it was about illegal immigration. You wouldn't…even…be…talking…about illegal immigration…if I didn't bring it up at the opening, when I came…on June 16th. Nobody was talking about it! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Nobody was talking about it.
 
Then the other day I heard, for the first time, a nice guy, so I'm not gonna mention him, but one of the candidates said, ‘and we'll build a wall!’…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. I said, ‘what!?’. My wife came to me, she said, ‘he just said…you'll build a wall!’. They're gonna build a wall! The first time! So they’re now…we will build a wall! And who's gonna pay for the wall!? Mexico! Mexico! –THE CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’ ALONG WITH TRUMP. And they will pay!
 
But you know, the problem is…the politicians. They don't even…they think, ‘how can you say Mexico is gonna pay?’. You know how? Cause I'm a business person! I built a great company. When I did my filings, everyone said, ‘Wow! That's unbelievable!’. And the reason I tell you that…look, very little debt, tremendous cash flow, tremendous income, tremendous cash…the best assets…! And I tell you that because that's what we need! The thinking…is what we need for the country! We can't have these people that don't know what they're doing anymore! These people don't know what they're doing!
 
Sergeant Bergdahl! We get Bergdahl…a dirty rotten spy, …–CROWD BOOS–…no, think of it! And they get five killers, that are right now back on the battlefield, trying to kill us! Five people…that they've wanted for eight or nine years! And we get Bergdahl…and they knew when we made the deal…that he was a traitor, okay? I mean, he would…they knew it! They knew…that this guy was no good! Why do they make the deal!? Let's fly him back and drop them right over the middle of the territory before we take him back…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's terrible! It's terrible! I mean, honestly? And that's just a thinking. That's the mindset. You see, that's the mindset that we have: we get Bergdahl, they get five people that they desperately want. That's the mindset!
 
We don't make good deals anymore! We don't know what we're doing! So when I started…on June 16th, okay? It was…an amazing day! I had never seen…so…it looked like the Academy Awards in Trump Tower…I've never seen so…look at all the press down there…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT WHERE THE CAMERAS ARE–…look at…look behind you, folks! I mean, look at all of it! –CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. It's a lot of press! You know, these other guys come to make a speech. You know how many people are back there? Like nobody! –CROWD LAUGHS. Nobody! No cameras, no nothing. Nobody cares! Look! Look at the red lights! We have…we have so much press…and every night it's…like…live television.
 
I say, ‘fellas, DO–…you…ever think I can make a speech? Like without live television?’. Would I let loose! Oh, would we have…! …–CROWD LAUGHS–…would we have fun! But every night they have. And…it's called ratings! I mean, it's called ratings. But the good news is…when you see the polls, when you see the crowds we have that…other people have crowds…they have 50 people, they have 35 people come up here. They had a certain candidate here three weeks ago. 29 people! –CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. We have thousands…I don't know! Thousand…something, we have a record 16, 17 hundred, record…–CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. And this is pretty high up in all fairness! You're living in a nice area. This is a nice…beautiful…
 
I was driving up. What's your crime rate here? Zero or something, right? –CROWD LAUGHS. And I'll bet you…as I looked at those beautiful houses, and they're so beautiful, and so majestic. Like a…like a magnificent painting. But somebody walks into one of those houses, bing…–MR. TRUMP PRETENDS HE GUNSHOTS SOMEBODY–…it's over, right? –CROWD CHEERS CAND SAYS ‘YES!’ –…right? Nobody plays games up here, right? –CROWD CHEERS. And you have…I know, cause I just met them, you have a wonderful police force. But a lot of times they don't even have to get involved!
 
Look, the Second Amendment…the Second Amendment is so important. They're trying…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…they're not gonna take your guns away, folks. They're not gonna take your guns away. Not gonna do it. They're trying. They're talking about the bullets, they're talking about…and then as you see, President…Obama…is on television…–CROWD BOOS–…who can blame you_ No, no! Honestly, after what we've gone through four years, who could blame you for that? I mean, who can blame you? But, you saw what he did today…executive orders. He wants you to…wouldn't it be nice if they could actually get Congress together? And you know, do it the old-fashioned way? Where people…work, and they this, and they cajole, and they have drinks together, and they get along or they don't get along.
 
And they come up with something…HE, MEANING MR. OBAMA–…just wants to sign executive orders all the time! No good! It's no good! It's no good! It's no fair…and they're not gonna screw around with a Second Amendment, okay? It's not gonna happen. So that's the way it is. That's the way it is. That's the way it is…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So…that is very important, Common Core. Common Core is dead. IT–will die…Common Core…you know, Jeb Bush wants Common Core. Oh! –CROWD BOOS. He also said, Jeb Bush, who…–IS–…down…in the poll, is not doing too well…I…–CROWD MUTTERS. He spent…he spent fifty-nine million, and…I…started spending a little money because I felt guilty. I actually felt guilty! My people said, ‘why do you wanna spend any money? You're leading by so much’. I said, ‘I feel guilty!’. It's true! –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
You know, it's like ‘Trump’ spent like nothing, Jeb Bush spent 59 million, he's down at the bottom of the barrel and I'm at the top by a lot! And I was gonna go through the whole thing, cause I love…I love saying…that I spent less than anybody…here, and my result is…by far the best! Cuz I'm up…more than double…what…right? –CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. No, I love that! I love it! I’d love it because I'd love to see our country do that. I'd love to see our country do that! I’d love our infrastructure to be fixed…better…! …cause look, I build buildings. We're building the Old Post Office now in Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington. We're under…budget in DC, right between the Capitol and the White House. We're under budget…we're ahead of schedule, it's gonna be incredible. That's what we have to do with the country! Under budget, ahead of schedule.
 
So I'm spending…I spent nothing. I mean, virtually nothing. This guy spent fifty-nine million. Hillary spent a fortune…and they’re all! They’re spending money…I see these ads! These ads! On FOX, all over the place! The ad! With the black backdrop, and the professional…! Everybody making a fortune! But I see all these ads…! And I keep saying my people, ‘I don't have any ads!’. They said, ‘don't worry about it, you're doing just fine’…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. But I felt very guilty.
 
So somebody asked me yesterday, THEY–…said, ‘why are you doing the ads?’. And I said that. I said, ‘well…two things. I don't wanna take any chances…’. I don't wanna take any chances! Cause they advertise against me! I mean, they put…actually, one of the ads ‘is’ Jeb. So in the debate…which…was great, because I went up 11 points after the last debate…! …so I had to do pretty good…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And I've never debated before! I'm not a debater! I'm a job producer! I make jobs! You know, I build buildings, and do companies…I do a lot of good stuff.
 
But in the debate…so this came out…–MR. TRUMP SHOWS SOME GRAPHS–…and these are the numbers, the…poll…right after the debate…they have poles for…everything. This was…the great debate, and…they have…the different polls. So this was worth 14, 15 people…a couple of weeks ago. Drudge, who's a great guy by the way, amazing guy, forty-six percent. ‘Trump’ is 46…out of…you know, I'd take 46 with three people, right? I wouldn't take it with two people! –CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. Two people is no good! But with three people I’d take it!
 
Time Magazine, 49 percent. Slate, 51 percent. US News and World Report, sixty-nine percent. Liberal! Liberal group! PBS, another liberal group, sixty-nine percent! I do better with the liberal groups; I don't know what’s going on…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. Washington Times, 62 percent. CBS, fifty-nine percent. FOX, 62 percent. Unbelievable! Right? And…then I say, ‘why am I taking ads?’, you know? Why am I doing it?
 
So I went up 11 points after the debate…by the way, then I go back, I turn on the television. I want to see what they said about my performance. I said, ‘oh! I did so good!’. You know, you know when you do well and when you do poorly, right? I mean, we're intelligent people. We are really intelligent people. My people are the most intelligent of the people, I’ll tell you…–CROWD CHEERS. And you know what else? They're the most loyal of the people. They're loyal. Did you see? One of the things that came out in the one poll…nobody's ever leaving me! I can be the worst person in the world, they're not leaving! Did you see that? It comes out in every poll. Other people they say, ‘oh…’. They're very marginal, they’re…you know, they're… ‘oh!’. With Trump's people…they say, I think it was eighty-eight percent –WHO– say they'll ‘never leave’! Like sixty-nine percent…are ‘really strong’. The rest of them are ‘very strong’…I mean, these polls are unbelievable!
 
So if I was up here…and…well, I won’t say it, because they’re gonna report it…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE PRESS–…it would be terrible…–THE CROWD LAUGHS. But if I was up here and I did some really inappropriate things, my people would stay. I love you people! I love you! –CROWD CHEERS. No, I love you! I love you! –CROWD CHEERS LOUDER. I…love…my people! But they’re…they're the most…they’re the most loyal!
 
And the other one…look at this this one, IT– …just came out, where…‘Trump’ does best with…Evangelicals. I do great! ‘Trump’ does best with the Tea Party. I'm beating…on…Evangelicals. I'm winning with the Tea Party! I’m winning with everything! –CROWD YELLS INDIFFERENTLY. I'm winning with…the smart people! I'm winning with the not so smart people too! I'm winning with everything! –CROWD CHEERS. We're doing good. We wanna do it…
 
I'll tell you what, though. Here's the key: February 9th. You don't have to worry about February 1st, okay? February 9th. New Hampshire, you gotta get out and vote. You gotta…–CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. You know, because last time…had people really gotten out to vote, the Republicans could have had a victory. They could have had a victory! But…I don't understand, there…there was no spirit. We have spirit. You know? We have spirit. They don't have crowds like this in areas like…I mean, here's an area…they don't have crowds like this a week before the election! The real election! They don’t have crowds like this! I was told by Secret Service, I was told by everybody! They don't have crowds like this! I mean, we're talking about…November, and here we are in January…and every house is packed!
 
As you know, last night in Lowell we had…–SOME MEMBERS IN THE CROWD CHEERS–… ‘right? Were you there last night?’ …–MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES THEM–… ‘you mean you followed us up here after…?’. ‘You must have had a good time!’ …–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
So we had 11, or 12 thousand people…thousands of people had to go home…and nobody uses that Arena cause it's too big to fill! With us it wasn't… wasn’t it big enough! And you know, you’re talking a long way before the election. So…–MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP RESPONDS–… ‘what?’. Oh, I love you! He said, ‘you're a winner’…–CROWD CHEERS. I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you, I love Tom Brady! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Do we love Tom Brady!? Huh!? I love Tom Brady. Tom is my friend, and Tom said the nicest things. I think maybe that's why I'm doing so well in this era! Tom Brady likes ‘Trump’ and I like Tom Brady. And he's a winner. And remember! He's a little injured. But Tom injured is better than anybody else at full force! So you'll be alright…–CROWD CHEERS. He's a great guy with a great coach and a great owner. So you have a great coach, Belichick…–MR. BILL BELICHICK, COACH OF THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS–…is great, and your Kraft man…–MEANING MR. ROBERT KRAFT, OWNER OF THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS…–is doing a great job. Right? Isn't it good?
 
So you got a really wonderful team. It's going to be interesting to see what happens. But Tom is a special guy. So…–MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP RESPONDS–… ‘What? What? What did he say…?’…–CROWD LAUGHS. I think that was a New England fan…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
 
So…so many things have happened! When I…agreed to do this, on June 16th, and it takes courage! It takes guts to do it! Believe me! I never did this before. I've never done this before! And we've had… great success. And the show was…The Apprentice, tremendously successful. NBC wanted me to do it for…a long time! They came up to my office, Steve Burke, one of the great executives from Comcast. HE–…came up to my office. HE–…said, ‘please, would you renew?’. I said, ‘Steve, I'm gonna run for president’. You're not allowed to do both, which is a ridiculous rule. But…in all fairness there wouldn't be like I would have too much more time.
 
But…they wanted me to do…a lot more! And they asked me to do it, I said, ‘I can't’, because I'm doing this. But the books, and The Art of the Deal, and so many other things! But I said, ‘no, I wanna do this, we wanna make…America…great…again! We wanna make…America…great…again. And…–THE CROWD STARTS MUTTERING AND THEN THEN CHANTING ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY AFTER WHAT SEEMS A PROTESTER INTERRUPTION–… ‘who is it!? Who is it…? Where is this person!? Where is this person!? Who is this person!? Oh! It's Hillary! Oh!’…–CROWD LAUGHS. ‘Where is this person!? Oh…that was…! You're so brave, thank you very much. So brave! –CROWD BOOS. Look at that! Where do these people come from!? It's just…what do they do!? –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
You know, I…I have to tell you though. For the last…long period of time, to be honest, you know…every once in a while, they'll try and interrupt, and they'll interrupt for two minutes, it actually makes it more exciting! And you know what it does do!? The cameras then span the room, they see how many people! Cause I can't get them to span the room. They never span the rooms. But the cameras, when you have…they immediately…I actually thought they were like fixed, you couldn't move them, maybe technology is different…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY–…than it used to be…and you…cause it's always on my face!
 
And my wife would, ‘you’…I’d go home, I'd say, ‘How did I do!? Did you see the crowd!?’. And we had a case where I had 21,000 people, in Dallas. I said, ‘did you see the crowd!?’.
She said, ‘no, they don't show it. They only show your face’.
 
Now, they do that because they don't want people to see the crowd. They don't want people…to see…that we have…a movement going on, okay? Believe me! Whether it's here! Whether it's in Iowa! Whether it's in South Carolina! Or North Carolina! Or Nevada! Whether it's…even in California, where we're going to do just fine. New York…! …a…poll came out today, I do really well in New York. I like New York. I mean, you know, I'm from New York…–CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY.
 
You may win some states…you may win some areas and states that they never even thought possible! And the one person that Hillary does not wanna run against is ‘Donald Trump’. Believe me! And Bill…–MR. BILL CLINTON–…doesn't want it either…–CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. She wants no part. Cause I understand the game, and I understand her, and…she knows it! And it was sort of funny, cause they told Chuck Todd, who’s a very nice guy. But he said, ‘I have on a personal knowledge, that Hillary Clinton wants to run against Donald Trump’. I call them. I said, ‘Chuck, when they say, that that means the opposite’. You know, we gotta be a chess player here, right? –CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. Believe me, would you say over the last two or three days –THAT– they're happy with me? Would you say that? I don't think so! And all I do is tell the truth! I tell the truth! I tell the truth!
 
But the only person…believe me…! …she would love to run against anybody else…the only person, and we have some great pols coming out…and came out! …where…I'm leading her…but I haven't even started her yet! I have to get rid of these other people first! –CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. No, you have to get rid of them first! I like one thing at a time! Everyone said, ‘Mr. Trump, who is your vice presidential candidate going to be?’. I said, ‘I don't think about it! I gotta get rid of these people first!’…–CROWD LAUGHS. Because they're not gonna do it for us! They're not gonna do it! Politicians, all talk, no action! It's not gonna get done! It's not gonna get done! –CROWD CHEERS.
 
There is anger in our country! It's a positive anger! You know…it…a lot of people say that I'm catering to…it…I’m not catering to it. But there is anger in our country! Because…they see…the people are smart! The people that are representing them…are either dishonest…? Not smart…incompetent, or they have some other agenda that we don't even know about! And some of these things you’d think they have another agenda. Because you would say…things that they do…deals that they make…

Like the Iran deal! Who would make this deal!? During…during the Nixon…he says…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEBODY THAT HAS YELLED SOMETHING WHILE LAUGHING–…what did you say? I didn’t hear it!’…–THE PARTICIPANT REPEATS IT, ‘A MUSLIM!’, MEANING MR. BARACK OBAMA WHO ACCORDING TO MR. TRUMP HAD NOT BEEN BORN ON AMERICAN SOIL BUT RATHER IN KENIA, AND THUS POSING DOUBT UPON HIM AND HIS PATRIOTISM–…okay, I didn't say it. I didn't say it! I refuse to get in trouble…! Oh! I'm supposed to reprimand the man. Who…? Who is the man that said that!? I have to reprimand him. ‘How dare you!?’. Okay, have I've reprimanded him? …–CROWD LAUGHS VIVIDLY. Okay? I reprimanded him!
 
Now the press can't be angry. You know, a lot of times they’d say, ‘why didn't you…’’. Look, we got a problem! We’re gonna solve the problem folks. We gotta…clean up our borders…we gotta let people come in. They have to come in legally! But you know, if you look…and we're gonna build the wall, and I'm gonna build a real wall, not a tony…from a…political…politician wall…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You know, years ago they wanted a wall. And the politicians couldn't get it approved. DO–…you know why? They couldn't…get…you won't believe this…an environmental income statement…ehm…can you believe this!? An environmental impact statement! For the wall…they couldn't get it approved. THERE WAS–…probably a turtle; a toad; maybe a rattlesnake…–CROWD LAUGHS. There was something in the way.
 
And you look at China, in the South China Sea…is building this massive…Island…! For a fort! For a fortress! For docking ships! And I mean…warships, I'm not talking about like…cargo. They're building this massive…island…in the middle…of the South…China…Sea! They're digging…with massive excavators…probably not Caterpillars. They like to use their own, right? –CROWD LAUGHS. And they're out there…! …and they jokingly said to a friend of mine, he is a very, very successful guy in China. I love China! I love Mexico! I love the Mexican people. I have thousands…working for me. And they’re gonna vote for me too. Believe me, they're gonna to vote for me! But I love…–CROWD CHEERS–…no, I'm gonna get the Hispanic, you watch! Cause I create jobs! I'm taking our jobs back from China! I'm taking them back from all over the place! –CROWD CHEERS.
 
Hey! By the way, excuse me! You people know better than anybody…about jobs leaving an area! Look what happened to you! What the hell good does that to us!? When jobs and your building, and…when all of this stuff moves down…to Mexico, what does that do for us!? It does nothing for us! It does nothing for us! Good for other people, not good for us! I mean, you look throughout New England…it's still scarred all over the place after many years! So…many…companies…have left, and so many great jobs that you’ll never get back! But we're gonna bring a lot of those years back…if not all of those! –CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. Yes, we're bringing them back! We're bringing them back! We have to bring them back! Otherwise we're not gonna have a country! We're not gonna have…you can't be all service…! You can’t just take care of people! At some point you need the jobs, so that the money comes in, so you can take care of the people !
 
You know, what we ours like becoming one big service nation…to service ourselves! We need jobs! We need manufacturing! We have to have Apple computer building their machines here, not in China! –CROWD CHEERS. And we can do that! We have amazing people! More than anything else! And somebody asked me the other day, a reporter. I said, ‘more than anything else…’. They were asking me, ‘what do you think? What have you learned?’. I SAID–… ‘how smart the people of this country are!’.
 
First of all, you don't believe these people…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS–…who are bloodsuckers, they're terrible! They're so dishonest! I mean, 75 percent of them! Maybe more! They are…–MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP RESPONDS–… ‘could be 90, yeah, he's right’…–CROWD LAUGHS. No, they give you…such…false…reporting! It's unbelievable how dishonest they are. They're really dishonest people! I don't even know why! Why!?
 
You know what!? We’re…we're sort of interesting! It's like the cameras. I would say, ‘span the room, span the room’, they don’t span the room. It’s…it's like crazy. If you think about it, all right? For them…for us…for all of us, we want good health care, right? We want jobs, we want a strong military…I…I mean, in theory! Whether you're a Democrat, and a Liberal, or Republican, and a super conservative! Don't we sort of all want the same thing!? And it's amazing…! –CROWD CHEERS–…no, it's amazing…! I see some…every once in a while, like last night…we had a couple of kids get up, and they protest…and…oh, what a great book! Look at her book…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEBODY IN THE CROWD SPECIFICALLY. She's one of the people that followed us from Lowell last night, right? …–CROWD LAUGHS. The Art of the Deal! They did not read the art of the deal in this administration, that I can tell you…–CROWD LAUGHS. Kerry did not read The Art of the Deal. Is that an embarrassment?
 
But…when you think about it, we all want the same thing! We want safety, we want security, we want health care, we want our families to be happy, we want…we wanna be able to live! And that's what I wanna do! I mean, we're gonna make…I actually think…and I don't think if we have another…four years of Obama, cause that's what…Hillary is. I think Hillary would be worse than Obama, okay? I think she would be worse! –CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. I mean, seriously! She goes to an event…and then you don't see you for another week! Then she goes to another…and it's all scripted! You know, the people are chosen. Everybody's chosen. One thing: I didn't choose anybody, right? You came in. You come in.
 
But Hillary, she goes to an event, then you don't see her anymore! She's gone! –MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP ANSWERS BACK–… ‘Where…?’ ‘Where is she? I didn't hear that’…–THE CROWD REPEATS IT, ‘IN THE BATHROOM!’ –… ‘that's terrible! Terrible! –MR. TRUMP IS CLEARLY AND OPENLY SARCASTIC. THE CROWD LAUGHS–…you should never say that! That's terrible!’. They said she's in the bathroom, that's a terrible thing. I'm admonishing you…for the press…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THEM. You’re admonished! We should throw him the hell out of here! ‘Get out of here!’. No! No! All is good fun. It's all it good fun.
 
But…but we need…–MR. TRUMP LAUGHS–…we need…we need the right leader! And the right leader…can turn us fast! We can't go through another four years of stupidity, and incompetence. You know? So I went to an Ivy League school, right? –CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. Good. No, I said! I went to an Ivy League school, and…I went to the Wharton School of Finance, the best in the world. The best in the world! Very, very smart people…very, very hard to get into, and all that stuff, right? And then every once in a while they'll…–THE PRESS–…say, ‘he's very plain-spoken’. I'm not playing spoken! I'm not plain-spoken! Plain…I have a better vocabulary than any of those people in that dais…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERA, believed me…–CROWD LAUGHS. And I'm much smarter than any of them. But I'll tell you, they say I'm plain-spoken.
 
And…one of the reasons is that…I used to use the word, ‘they're incompetent, they’re incompetent’….but, you know, a better word! There…is…there…a better word, ‘they’re stupid! The people that are leading us, they're stupid! These are stupid people!’. Now, I can come up with a word…that's…not as good! Sounds better, but it's not as good. We…we…are being…led…down…the drain! And we've gotta stop it! We've gotta stop it! We've got to have people that know what they're doing!
 
I have lined up the greatest business people in the world. We have them! I know them! Some are great…; some are…not as good as people think…; we have some that you never heard of, that are better than all of them; Carl Icahn is coming aboard. Carl Icahn is one of the great business people. These are…I mean, if I put Carl Icahn…, ‘Carl, do me a favor. You’re in charge of China. Check out the trade deals. We lost five hundred and five…billion dollars! …last year, trade deficit…with China’. We had a trade deficit…of five hundred and five billion dollars…! …with China. And then you see Obama…saying…to the top Chinese officials, ‘it is great to have them as our trading partner…’, I don't want a trading partner where we're losing five hundred billion! At least let us break even! Let us do something! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Okay!? Five…hundred…and five…billion…dollars!
 
And with Japan, the same thing! I mean, Japan…they sell the cars, they come in by the millions. I was in Los Angeles, I see these boats, the biggest ships I've ever seen! Cars, pouring off the ship! Pouring! I never saw anything like it…it's like the Long Island Expressway! They go at like 40 miles an hour! Out of a ship! –CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. And they take the money, we give them nothing! Practically nothing…relatively speaking! And then when we send it, they don't want it! We send them beef. And they send it back a lot of times. And it keeps going back and forth. And then they call it Kobe beef…–A TYPE OF JAPANESE MEAT/DISH–…because it's rotting! –CROWD LAUGHS. You know? And they charge twice as much money. They charge five times …–INAUDIBLE–…money.
 
But no, I mean, we send them practically nothing! And Mexico is the new China! I hate to say it. The Mexican leaders are so much smarter than our leaders. Nabisco is moving their big plant from Chicago into Mexico. How does that help us!? Tell me! How does it help us? How does it help?
 
Now, if a Jeb type, which won't happen, but if a Jeb…that…that one can't happen! No energy! I mean, this guy's got no energy! He’s definitely…low…on the energy poll! He's only got energy for spending money on commercials! But…–CROWD LAUGHS–…but…if a Jeb type, or a Hillary type, becomes president…they know it's bad, but their lobbyists, or their special interest people will say, ‘you can't do anything about that! They contributed to your campaign…five million dollars!’. I'm self-funding. Putting up my own money, folks. I'm putting up my own money…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I'm self-funding my campaign.
 
So, you know, the nice part about that, when they come to me, they can't say, ‘oh, but we can…’, you know, you feel guilty! A guy gives you 5 million dollars, or 2 million, or 1 million…and then you're doing something…and they come and say, ‘but you know, he was your supporter…and he'll be your supporter when you run the next time!’. That's the worst! Because they…you know, the day…a politician gets elected…all he's thinking about is the next run. And all he's thinking about is keeping those people happy. He wants to keep them happy! Gotta keep him happy!
 
And…with me!? Forget it folks! So I'm putting up my money; spending a lot of money; and just to finish…so, everyone said, ‘why are you doing it?’. Because…honestly…I don't wanna take a chance. We're really close to doing something fantastic. And I didn't wanna chintz around, and brag about the fact that I spend no money, and I'm in number one place. So I’m spending like two million dollars a week between here, and Iowa, and South Carolina. Then next week, same thing. And next week, and next week…I'll still be way below everybody else! Okay? If you can believe it! But it's my money! It's my money! And I used to love getting up and saying exactly that, that I sped nothing! But…I didn't feel good over the last period of time…saying that to the press. Because they say, ‘well why aren't you spending more?’. And I really…decided…to go out, and let's just put this away. That's why on February 9th, you have to get out. And you have to vote. And you have to show something! And you know…? Even winning is good! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…but we wanna win by a lot! Because that gives you power.
 
You know, when you win by a lot, because there's a movement. And they're talking about the movement! They hate to talk about the movement! But people that really disliked me, people that said, ‘no way, no way, he's not running; he's just having fun…’, ‘fun!’. I love you people, I can be doing other things right now, okay? Honestly! –CROWD LAUGHS. But, they were saying… ‘he's doing it for fun’…then, I announced, and I do this, and I do that…and I put the financials in, and…then…now they're saying, ‘well that's…’. Then the polls came out.
 
So I started off at, you know, nothing, like everybody. IT–…goes up to 6; IT–….goes up to 12; and every time it went up, they said, ‘well, that's a plateau. He's reached his crescendo…’…–CROWD LAUGHS–… ‘that’s it!’, ‘he's got solid 6 percent!’. Then he goes up to 12; then it goes up to 16, 18…; then he goes to 21, 24…; then it goes to…38; and they said, ‘oh, that's a hell of a plateau!’…–CROWD LAUGHS. Then the one that just came out, at 42! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You know!? No, there's a point at which I want them to be right about the plateau. It's okay! I'll take it! Right? …–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
But, it's been an amazing experience…and they've said, ‘there's never been anything like this in the history of politics’. Nothing like this has ever happened. I'm running against…–MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE–… ‘thank you!’, I'm running against… ‘he said I am the king’. I feel…I feel…good! That I can tell you. I love this guy! –MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEBODY IN THE CROWD RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM APPARENTLY–… ‘stand up!’ Look at this guy! He’s beautiful! Huh!? He’s…beautiful guy! ‘Is that your family!? Huh!?’. ‘Wow! That's great! I appreciate it man! Turn around, so the cameras…go ahead! Turn around! That’s what I like! That’s what I like! That’s my guy!’…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
 
But having a real… ‘I appreciate it man’…–MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES THE PARTICIPANT LASTLY–…having a mandate is so…so important. We wanna win it big. We wanna win it. We wanna run the table. And I wanna start focusing on Hillary, cause that's gonna…I honestly think in a certain way that's gonna be easier. We have a little bit of a structural disadvantage…with the way the state's line up, and everything else. But we'll get states that nobody thought in terms of the Republicans! We’ll get States…I'm telling you! We won't…be bringing in states, that nobody thinks of…in terms of republican. The whole thing…ends!
 
CNBC did a report! And they said, ‘if Trump runs against…Hillary, it'll be the largest turnout in the history’. I believe this, by the way. And I've been saying it. I don't need anybody to tell me, and other people have said. It it'll be the largest turnout…voter turnout…in the history of the country. I believe that.
 
Look at the debates! The debates…were…nobody watched them. Nobody cared about them. They were boring…until ‘Trump’ came alone…right? …–CROWD LAUGHS AND CHEERS TIMIDLY. No, they were boring! They were boring! Who the hell watch the debates!? By the way…nobody's watching the democrat…debates! Okay!? You see…–IT IN–…the lousy numbers they get! But…nobody…but, there's much more watching there because of us! But in the past four years ago, people…the debates, nobody even wanted to broadcast them! It was like a negative to broadcast the debates…in the years…years passed. And now…they wanna have more debates. And more debates. And make them three hours! And make them…forever! And…they're making a fortune!
 
Now, just like…FOX…they had twenty…four…million…viewers. A record…in the history of cable television. Then a few weeks later, CNN had 23…million…viewers. In the history of CNN, big stuff! But in the history of CNN, it's the biggest audience…they've ever had! Of anything! That includes their sports, that includes wars, that includes…
 
So something's going on! Now, I do say this, and I don't even say it. Ask Variety Magazine, ask…anybody. Ask…Hollywood Reporter that was very nice to me. Ehm…we have…some great people at Hollywood…just ask them. They said ‘Trump’…they call them ‘the Trump debates’. I'm very honored by it. They have the biggest ratings…that…I mean, in cable history! Okay.
 
Now, if I run against Hillary, can you imagine how many people are gonna go to vote? And many of those people…far more than fifty percent, are gonna vote for me! Because they're tired…of the old broken system. They're tired of the politician…that talks, and talks, and talks…and it's corrupt! Because it's all corrupt stuff. They're tired of this stuff. And those people are gonna be voting for me! And we're gonna have a president that's gonna turn this country around. And we're gonna turn it around fast! We’re gonna turn it around fast! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And I'm gonna get these great business leaders. I will get these great business leaders, these great, great people…and I have to say! Some of them are not nice people! Do you agree!? Who cares!? Right!? Who cares!? Some of them you don't wanna have dinner with. They’re vicious, brutal, horrible human beings. Who cares!? Who the hell cares!? Some are nice, but some are terrible people! I…want…the best…people…negotiating…for our…country. Every other country has it! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. That's why we don't make good deals anymore! It's why we don't win anymore! We don't win! We don't make good deals! We're…like…we like…a country…that's a third-world country! We're a debtor nation! People don't even realize that!
 
Now, interestingly, I said the other day, I saw…what happened in…Iran. And…Iran made a great deal. But…they made a better deal, because they just took over Iraq. You know, they're taking over Iraq, just in case you have any question. You know, as sure as you sit there. So at first I said, ‘ you know, the deal…! And they get 150…’, but that's peanuts! Because now, because we decapitated…which we shouldn't have done…! …and I said, ‘don't go in!’. Then the way Obama got out was insane! Where he announced the date that we're leaving! Cause the enemy pulls back…I said, ‘he never really said…!?’…do you think General Douglas MacArthur would have announced…? … ‘we are leaving on a certain date’…–CROWD LAUGHS. General George Patton! Number one, they wouldn't be doing television interviews, that I can tell you.
 
How about the other day, where he sends fifty people! Fifty of our finest. And they make an announcement: ‘we are sending…fifty of our finest…to…Iraq!’. Now the enemy is looking for those fifty people…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. Why couldn't he keep his mouth shut!? Why does he have to say it!? They've got a target! They have got a target on their back! We have to be unpredictable! They were asking me.
 
You know, and I've been saying, ‘bomb the oil; take the oil. Bomb the oil; take the oil!’. Just take it! Right? –CROWD CHEERS. I've been saying that for four years, and they were saying, ‘oh, that would be…’. In fact, Obama put some general on television saying, ‘no, that wouldn't work’. Why wouldn't it work!? ISIS is making its money from the oil! And some bad banking stuff too, which I know…a lot about, okay? …which other people don't have a clue about. But I said, ‘take the oil! Take it!’. For four years.
 
Now, three four months ago, some general analyzed my statements. He said, ‘no, that wouldn't work’, but now they're doing it! And if they would have done it three, or four years ago, you wouldn't have ISIS cause they wouldn't had the money. They’re making a million dollars a day, with the oil, a million dollars a day. I mean, what are we…? …what are we doing!? What are we doing!? When are we gonna get smart!? And it's not that tough! A lot of it it’s common sense! It’s business, it’s heart, it's common sense! And you need a president with all that. You have to take care of people that can't take care of themselves folks.
 
I know a lot of us…are…like Republicans, and consider…but we still have to take care of people to take…you know, we have to have heart! And it's so important…! And you know, I said to somebody, cause I was talking about doing certain things that are so positive for all of us. And he said, ‘you know, you can't do that. What's the use of…running?’. We have to be…compassionate people! But we have to be strong! We have to be smart! And when we have people cutting off the heads of Christians…in the Middle East…these are bad. This is the medieval…you know, when we were studying history, medieval times, right? This was…medieval times! Who ever heard of this stuff!?
 
I mean, until a year ago, James Foley, an incredible…guy. Who I…I helped the family, a little bit. An incredible guy! Who ever heard of the stuff until then!? And now they're doing it routinely! And they're bragging about it! And they're putting it on. We have to do some something…we can't…we can't sit back, because otherwise they're gonna be on our shows.
 
Now, I was the one who said, ‘don't do that’. And by doing that, and by doing all of the other things that they did, with Libya, and…with Syria…I…I mean, the whole thing…every single move…they've made, has been a mistake! And we've gotta right the ship. And we've gotta get back to rebuilding our country. We've gotta fix our infrastructure. We've gotta fix the military! You know, we've gotta fix our military. We're using equipment now. We sent 2,300 Humvees, armor-plated over to…right!? …over to…our so-called ‘allies’, who we don't even know who they are. One bullet gets fired up in the air, and the enemy takes over 2,300.
 
If our soldiers had those great Humvees, which are fully armored plated…! The bottom, the sides, the ceilings…! If they had…that equipment, they wouldn't be…–THEY–…have no legs right now! They have no arms right now! They wouldn't be like that! They'd be okay! And now, DO–…you know who has our equipment? Our…some of our best equipment. The enemy. We back people, we don't even know who the hell they are! We back people…we give them billions and billions, we don't even know who these people are! They'll end up being worse than the people…that they're attacking! What the hell do we care!? These people wanna fight all the time. We're tougher than all of them…and we can fight better than all of them, but we gotta be smart! We gotta be smart! Because we're not being smart.
 
And I'll tell you what. When it's all over, it's gonna be a thing of beauty. What has happened…and it's happened right since that day…! With Paris! Where…you had that horrible thing happened, with all of those people, 130 plus people being killed. And then…you had California happened. The 14 people. And you had…the five soldiers killed…on a gun-free zone on a military…INAUDIBLE. Here, two of the soldiers were…incredible; you know…incredible soldier, the most highly decorated…! …incredible marksmen…! A gun-free zone, on a military base! That would end day one. Who…who the hell…!? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, think about it! Here you have these unbelievable…talented soldiers, and a wise…a whack job walks in, and he kills all of them! And these are the best! And they're not allowed to have a gun, okay? All…we gotta…we gotta use our heads!
 
So what happens is this: on…June…I was talking about trade. I was talking about…how we're being ripped off. I was talking about strongly on the border. That was all mine…every time somebody says, ‘we want a wall!’, remember whose idea of the wall was, please. Cause you know, when this person said the other day…and now, again I'm not gonna mention the name of the person…but when this person said 3, 4 days ago, ‘the wall!’…I said, ‘shouldn't he give me some credit!?’. They don't give…politicians…do not…give…credit. I've just learned that over the last few months, all right? But forget about the credit, cause I build the…a…much better wall, anyway. And I'll build it cheaper. I'll build a bigger, better, stronger, and cheaper, and then look better, and maybe someday they'll call it the ‘Trump wall’ who the hell knows!? Okay!? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. That's why it's gotta look good.
 
But…but it started…and I was talking about trade, and we're gonna stop…I know I can do all that stuff, folks. Cause…every poll says, I get 50…–PERCENT–…, I get 72, I get the highest percentages…with trade, and business, and all that stuff. I could do that so easy. But all of a sudden…we started talking about, and very strongly! …we started talking about the border. And the border…! …became the big thing. Now with ISIS everybody said, ‘Trump is the guy that can best handle ISIS’. Believe me! I can…best…handle…ISIS. Believe me! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We'll take care of ISIS. We're gonna take care of ISIS. We're gonna take care of ISIS. It's gonna be over. It's gonna be over…importantly. It's gonna be over fast. We gotta end it. We gotta end it. We gotta end it. And we know how to end it. And I hated to do…I will tell you, ‘unpredictability’!
 
I hated…! …they…–THE PRESS–…would say, ‘what are you gonna do!? What are you gonna do!?’. And it was a year! I didn't wanna say, ‘take the oil! Take the oil!’. Because when you say take the oil, they get prepared! I wanted to take the oil without them knowing what the hell was going on! But unfortunately, under our system, if I don't say it, they'll say, ‘oh, he doesn't really know what to do!’. I don't wanna tell everybody what. Believe me! We are going to knock them…so fast…! We are gonna knock the hell out of them folks! –CROWD CHEERS. And it's gonna go quickly! It's going to go surgically! It's gonna end! It's gonna end!
 
Now, Putin comes out, he says, ‘Trump is brilliant’. Hard to…reject that…–CROWD LAUGHS. I agree with him, actually! Totally! –CROWD LAUGHS. But he said, ‘Trump is brilliant, Trump is the leader, and Trump is the this…’. And he said very nice things about me! So the other people said, ‘Oh, that's terrible! That's terrible! He should renounce that!’. Me! There's no way I renounce the fact that I'm brilliant…–CROWD LAUGHS. No way!
 
But, look! So Putin was nice…and frankly, I don't know, I…hope he meant it, if he didn't mean it, you know, I've been complimented before maybe when I shouldn't have been complimented. But I think he meant it. I hope he meant it. If he didn't, that's okay. But wouldn't it be…? …–MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE–… ‘thank you!’. He says I’m brilliant. But you know what? Wouldn't it be great…if we actually got along with Russia!? And we could get along with China!? And we could get along, frankly, with Mexico…!? Except they won't take so much of our money, and our everything…!
 
And by the way, bring drugs from there to here, because you have a huge problem. I have never seen a place…where the first thing they talk about…to me…is your drug problem up here. I don't think of it! You know, when I think in terms of New Hampshire…I don't think of the drug problem! But…it's really bad! You've had five times more deaths…than they had…a few years ago! I mean, it's really, really bad!
 
Well, a lot of that stuff comes from exactly where I'm talking about. We gotta stop it! And then we got to help the people that are addicted. These are people that are seriously addicted! It's a tough deal! But we gotta get it stopped! But I've never seen…anything like it! Every time I go…any place in New Hampshire…! One of the first things…that they talk about…is the…incredible problem, they have with addiction and with the drugs. We're gonna work hard! We're gonna try our damnedest to get it done. But I'll tell you what: we're gonna stop…that crap…from coming in. We're gonna stop it! We’re gonna stop it from coming in! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So…with all of that I said, we're gonna focus now on security; we're gonna focus on safety; we're gonna focus on our military; we're gonna focus on taking care of our Vets; And that's become a whole new thing, because the other stuff I can do easily. The economy, and things…you will watch, it'll fly. I'm cutting taxes for everybody. Our middle…class is getting a big, big, big tax decrease…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. Our corporations, which pay the highest taxes of the world, are gonna be cut very, very steeply, so they're gonna put people to work again. I mean we have people leaving the United States! You know? Corporate inversions! We have people leaving…the United States. Companies! Big companies! Pfizer! Pfizer! One of the great companies, leaving! They're going to Ireland! You have other companies leaving. They're leaving the United States! We can't have it! We can't have it!
 
So…with all of that, I could end right now. Like Elton John, he always likes to end on a high note. I love…but I'll…take a chance, okay? Let's take a little risk. Let's do some question and answer, okay? Okay? –CROWD CHEERS. Let's go! Go ahead! Shout it out, man!
 
A MEMBER IN THE CROWD INTERVENES THROUGH YELLING THEIR QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.53.44:
 
 Isn't that a wonderful first question!? –CROWD LAUGHS. I always get these easy questions the first ones…! Look: I tell you what. There is a tremendous amount…of…turmoil, as you know, going on in the military over that very issue. And…there is a tremendous amount of turmoil. Let me…I just…I’d be…I’d be curious…because I actually watched FOX of the day, and a woman, who was a pilot, and a very…strong…ehm…very physically fit woman, was actually indicating that she…and she was a really tremendous woman, top of the line…she was saying it's very, very hard for her to compete…in terms of the standards, etc., etc. How many people in here…like seeing women in the military…? In infantry…fighting? I’d…just raise your hand, I'd be curious…–CROWD CHEERS. Because, you know, believe it or not, that question is asked by a man who's a very serious man. I…I really…
 
THE PARTICIPANT INTERRUPTS.
MR. TRUMP TAKES THE FLOOR AGAIN. Minute 00.54.43:
 
Yeah, I know, we're talking about the standards. And that's what we're talking…how many people think that women should not be in the military, and in infantry…infantry position? All right, so it's a little bit of a mix. And a lot of people…a lot of people are undecided…–MR. TRUMP HEARS PARTICIPANTS YELL–… ‘What?’…–THEY REPEAT THEIR STATEMENT, ALTHOUGH IT IS STILL INAUDIBLE–… ‘where are you? Who…who are you…? Who…who’s saying that?’. Yes, go ahead, what did you say ma'am?
 
THE PARTICIPANT INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP TAKES THE FLOOR AGAIN. Minute 00.55.08:
 
I do. I love equal pay. I love equal pay. I do. I mean, I have many women. I was very, very far advanced on women. And frankly, ehm…I have many, many women…in my company…who absolutely…you know, I had women…I had a woman, in charge of construction of a major tower in New York City, 35 years ago. And that was unheard of. And I have many…female executives, and…many of them are making, actually, more than the men…for the same job! So, I mean, the men sometimes don't like me so much, to be honest with you. But…I have found women to be just absolutely amazing in the workplace. They've done a great job.
 
So I know that's a military question you're asking. And that's a question that's being debated long and hard, right now, as we speak. And we're gonna come up with the right answer.
 
Yes, go ahead.

MR. TRUMP TAKES THE FLOOR AGAIN. Minute 00.56.04:
 
People that are using and abusing…the welfare system. A very…fair…question!
 
So you have so much…you know, if you look at…social security, we've gotta save it! Right now, you know, you have Christie…–WHO–…says he wants to raise the age, he wants to do all sorts of things…; you have other people, they wanna knock the hell out of it! We're not gonna do that. We're gonna make our country rich; we're gonna make our country strong…we're gonna bring back our jobs…; and we're gonna have social security…the way you thought you were gonna get it, and that includes Medicare. So…which by the way, works!
 
But you do have…waste, fraud, and abuse. And we're gonna take care of that. It's a good question! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
Yes sir, go ahead.

I don't like being on the stage with a guy that's better looking than me, I hate it…–CROWD LAUGHS. Bring him up here. Come here. Come on up.
 
Okay, give me another question. Come on, the big strong guy over here. Go ahead. I'm not gonna…I'm not messing with this guy, let me tell…–CROWD LAUGHS.
What!? Go ahead.
 
Oh, border front…look: you gotta have…real security with a voting system. This voting system is out of control. You have people, in my opinion, that a voting many, many times. They don't want security, they don't want cards…–THE CROWD CHEERS. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE PERSON WHOM MR. TRUMP HAD TOLD TO COME ON STAGE IS THERE AND SHAKES HANDS WITH MR. TRUMP–… Thank you man! Say hello to the group, come on!
 
He smells great! Thank you man. Sure, take…take a selfie…–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
CROWD CHEERS VERY VIVIDLY.
 
I’ll bet he’s a very successful guy. God-looking guy! Nice guy! He likes Trump cologne. That’s…I do too.
Ehm…let me ask…do you mind if I ask…? These are the stars back here, you know that…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CROWD RIGHT BEHIND THEM AND THEN TURNS TO FACE THEM–…there's…some of them are gonna be big stars. We gotta ask a couple. Come on!

Now, Iowa first, but for you we wanna know about February 9th, right? We're gonna go, we're gonna knock the hell out of the Democrats. We're gonna win the election. And next year we're taking our country back like never before. And honestly!? We are gonna make it better, stronger, safer, more productive…than ever, ever, ever before! I love you all!
