------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is so…so amazing! I just wanna thank you all.
So, you know, we have…three rooms like this. And I…like…this guy, he's a nice guy. I really like him and he's a professional, but the press!? They don't get it, folks.
So, I'm listening to FOX on the way over. And…I heard Greta! She said, “yeah, they have thousands and thousands of people there!”. And you know…I don't know if you know it, but we have two other rooms like this, outside! You people…you people have the best location! You have the best location! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But we love the people in the other two rooms, right!? So, there are supposed to be 3,000 to 4,000 people in this room, 2,000 and 2,000 in the other two rooms. So we have anywhere from six to 6,000. They don't even know. And Greta said “they have thousands”. And Carl Cameron, who's a nice guy, he said, “no they only have 1,500 people here”…–THE CROWD BOOS. Let me tell you. Let me tell you. Start counting them up, Carl! Cause you got a lot of people here, Carl! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And I'm not referring to Carl. I'm just saying, the press is so…damn…dishonest! They are so…unbelievably dishonest! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.[MGF1] 
So we have two rooms like this, and I have a guy say 1500 people! This is not…this is thousands and thousands of people! And by the way, outside they have thousands of people…that couldn't get into any of the three rooms! So, that's the story! What can I tell you!? I’d like to set it straight, right!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
I wanna thank you all for coming. This has been…an amazing experience. I know so many people in Indiana. I think we're really doing well. That doesn't mean you don't go vote! You have to go vote tomorrow! But I think we're really doing…well.
You know, we've caught…Ted Cruz in so many lies. We call him ‘lyin Ted’. He's lies! This guy lies! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. He’s lyin Ted! He's lyin Ted! Almost…worse than the press! Almost! And, I don't know if you heard, because the press won't tell you this bu[MGF2] t, a new poll just came out a few hours ago, the Rasmussen poll, and I'm beating Hillary Clinton, and that's good! That's good! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. We're beating her! And…and I haven't even started yet!
You know, we started with 17 people. And they're all senators, and you know, accomplished people! They’re senators, governors…tremendous people, like Dr. ben Carson who’s a great guy; who…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…who really did well. And he endorsed me, he is a great guy. And…Chris Christie [is a] great guy who endorsed me…; and…a lot of people. A lot of people are endorsing. A lot of people.
But…Jerry Falwell Jr., just came in. Jerry Falwell Jr., from Liberty University endorsed me; so many ministers and pastors, and that's why we're winning the evangelical vote, and we have been…very consistently…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We're winning everything! You know, I don't know if you saw it, but…we won…in New York, they did exit polls. We won with women…! …we won with men! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But especially the women made me feel good! The women! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We didn't only win with women. We really won with women! So…and we won with highly educated, and less than highly educated, and the rich, and the poor…and we won with everything! We won…and…and, then we…then we went to five…so that was in New York, where we got almost every delegate, 95. We got almost all of them.
And then we went to…five states, great states. We went to Connecticut, righ? We went to Maryland! We went to Pennsylvania! Delaware, Rhode Island…we won every single one of them in a landslide, and we want every group…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's been…amazing.
And now the biggie is going to be Indiana, because if we win in Indiana, it's over with, folks! It's over with…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and then we focus on Hillary Clinton! We focus…on it…! …–MR. TRUMP GIGGLES–…that’s right. We then focus on Hillary, and that’s gonna be fun.
But remember, we began with 17 and one, by one, by one they went off! A governor, a senator! A senator, a governor! They didn't know what the hell happened! But they went out. So now we're down to two, and they're hanging by their fingernails. You know, they're up, they’re like this, they’re hanging! They’re hanging!
But…uh…it's been…unbelievable. I've been here a lot. I have many friends, here. And, they're amazing people. I have met such amazing people! And we've had such…incredible…crowds! That's why I had to call him. But we had such…incredible…crowds, right up to the end. Look at this room, as an example. Right into the corners of this big room, [there are] people. And all over…and all over! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Hello, corner!
So, it's been an incredible experience. We are going to make America great again, it's going to be America first! America first! But we are going to make America…; look at all those hats, whites, reds…we have everything. But we…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…we love [it].
You know, the…the truth is…at the Trump va…rallies, it's the safest place you can be. Because…–THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY–…we look out for each other, and we look out for everybody.
We had one in Costa Mesa, California, recently, 31,000 people. It was unbelievable. And then you read…you don’t read about that! You read about [the fact that] they had some problems outside. Now, people were burning the American flag. I don't want them burning the American flag…–THE CROWD BOOS. I don't want them burning…; not the people inside, people outside. They’re agitators! Many of them are professionals, they're bad people! You don't see that at all. Look! Look at this place, you don't see it. We've gone through days, [and] you don't see it!
California was unbelievable. A new poll just came out in California where I think I'm leading 55 to like 20, okay!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But I do love that Clinton poll. And the other one had me tied, that was last week, but now we're going up.
And, by the way, with Hillary Clinton…in a state called Indiana, which we love…that just came out too, that's a Wall Street Journal, [and] I guess NBC poll, Trump is leading Hillary 48 to 41. We're starting to make…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…big pinch. We're really doing it.
And you know, the only thing that Cruz could say…you know, with his Shakespearean…everything “huh, oh…!”…–THE CROWD LAUGHS AS MR. TRUMP SHOWS FLOURISH. I can't watch!
I loved these guys today, they're online. Did you see them? And they were in…all over the news: “we want Trump”…–A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS ‘LYIN TED!’–…lyin Ted, that's right! Lyin Ted! He lies like nobody can lie! But, lyin Ted!
But, they were online! And they had these…guys debating, and they would just…they know, they get it! They said, “you're lying, you're lying”. And so many of the things he said…;
You know, he said the other day…like Mike Tyson, [who’s] was very nice. He sent…on the internet that, “I'm supporting Donald Trump”. That was it! And I heard all of a sudden [that] I am campaigning with Mike Tyson as my vice president, okay? …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. And…and you had Cruz, “and who would you rather have, himself and Carly, or Donald Trump and Mike Tyson!?”…–THE CROWD CHEERS.
I say, “how…where did that come from!?”. No, I said, “where did it come [from]!?”.  First of all, I'm honored that he…endorsed me and all, but…where did it come from!?
Then he said, “Donald Trump wants to raise your taxes 40 percent!”.
Now, just so you understand…I have a tax…policy, and we have a tax plan put in. And I'm giving, by far, the biggest…tax…reduction of anybody running, by far! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Especially for the middle class and especially for business. We’re the highest taxed…nation in the world. And the fact is, that the one criticism of my tax plan is that I'm giving so much! In other words, my plan is much higher!
And yet, you listen to this lying guy saying, “Donald Trump wants to raise your taxes 40 percent”. These politicians are really bad!
You know, I…I've been in business. I've never…I've only done this for nine months, and I think I'm doing a good job, do you agree? We’re doing a good job…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But…I’ve done this for nine months, and all my life I've been in business. I've competed against business people, and done well.
I started off with a million-dollar loan, and I built a net worth over 10 billion dollars with the greatest assets…–THE CROWD CHEERS–…with…with the greatest assets, very low debt, tremendous cash flow…; and I only say it for one reason, cause I don't care! I'm not saying it braggadocious, I'm saying it…that's the kind of thinking we need in our country! We gotta bring our country back! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We have to bring our country back! The world is ripping us off, whether it's China! …or Mexico! …or Japan! …or Vietnam, now is a new one, just killing us! So many…I could name any country! If you name any country, they're beating us. We don't win anymore, and we're gonna start to win, big league! Big league!
Let me just show you what I do, let me just show you. So, I just had to mention that, though, on the taxes! So, I'm giving you the biggest…[tax cut], and I hear this guy, and I'm saying, “oh, would I like to be standing next to him, so I could tell the truth!”. I've never heard…;
He also said…now, you've been watching me for a long time: “repeal and replace Obamacare!”, right? So, Cruz gets up today…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…Cruz gets up, lyin Ted, [and] he goes, “Donald Trump loves…!”, you know, with a big flourish. I mean, honestly? I don't even think he's a good debater! I’ve beaten him in every…according to every single online poll, at every single debate, I’ve beaten him. And I don't debate! I mean, my whole life is a debate, but I don't debate! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. But this guy…!
So, it…I talked about Obamacare! Every speech…every speech, “we're gonna repeal it, it's a disaster; and replace it with something great”. I don't know if you see, your premiums are going up so much, right!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. The premiums are going up…25, 35, 45, 55 percent! Your deductibles are so high that you're never gonna be able to use it! Unless you're like…close to death. It's a disaster!
So, every speech I said, “we're gonna re…peal and replace Obamacare”, and…I hear the…this guy, Cruz today…lyin Ted. He goes, “Donald Trump loves Obamacare! He wants to take Obamacare to the next level! He loves it…!”.
I'm saying, “he's such a liar!”…–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
And you know, I was given a little bit of…shelter when during one of the debates, Marco Rubio called him ‘a liar’; “you are really a liar…!”. So here's the senator calling a senator a lier. So now I feel much better about calling the guy a liar. But I've never seen a guy lie like that! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I've never seen…he even said, “Donald Trump will not build the wall! He said he's not going to build the wall!”. Not build the wall!? Okay!? …–THE CROWD boos. We're gonna build the wall! Can you imagine…!? No, no, can you imagine!? …–THE CROWD CHANTS ‘BUILD THE WALL!’. Oh, we're gonna build the wall, don't even worry about it, we'll talk about the wall. Don't even…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and, and I'll tell you. We're gonna build the wall! We're gonna stop drugs from pouring in, and poisoning our youth and other people!  …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We are building the wall!
But I got this guy, Cruz, lyin Ted, “Donald Trump has said…he is not going to build the wall!”. I think he's crazy! I…honestly? I think he's crazy…–THE CROWD CHEERS. Lyin Ted…does not have the temperament to be doing this. He is joking like a dog because he's losing so badly. We have to put him away tomorrow, folks! We gotta get out and vote! We gotta get out and vote! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We gotta get out and vote!
So…thank you, darling! Oh…! I love her too!
Ready!? So, this is very depressing…–MR. TRUMP SHOWS A SHEET OF PAPER. It happens all the time! Every place I've gone to…New York State, landslide! But I go to different communities that are say to my statisticians...[it’s] not the most exciting job to be a statistician, but they love it, right!? It's a job! But I say, “give me the statistics on…certain areas”. Albany, New York; Uh…Poughkeepsie, this, that…okay.
I go through New York, [and] it's horrible, what's happening. The jobs are down 50 percent,. Manufacturing is gone…I mean, is horrible what's happening in New York State! I go to Pennsylvania…you look at the steel industry. By the way, look at the steel industry here, it's being killed! The steel industry here is being killed! The cold, and the…the coal industries being killed!
Your industries, your manufacturing! So...I said, “do me a favor, go up to South Bend”. I love South Bend! Uh….you know why! What school do I love, right!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I mean…I have so many friends that love me, they'd like to be right now with…me in South Bend for a certain reason.
Ready!? So South Bend reason…re…listen to this: South Bend…and don't be depressed, because we're gonna fix it! And no politician can fix it, because they're all bought and controlled by special interests, remember that…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…you know, a friend of mine is very smart, [a] very smart guy. He said to me, “you know, Donald, I don't understand. These politicians are really stupid”.
I said, “no, they're not stupid. They're all…given so much money for their PACS, and for their…by special interest, by their contributors, by their donors…”.
And some are stupid! Many are stupid, frankly! Many don't know what they're doing! Some of these guys that negotiate with China, and Mexico, and all these big countries, where we just die with it, with these horrible trade deals. Some of them aren’t good. You know, they’re political hacks! But I’ll tell you what, they're not actually stupid! They're making deals because their…special interest groups, their lobbyists, their donors…tell them that that's what they want!
When I see Carrier air conditioning leaving…Indiana…for Mexico…–THE CROWD BOOS–…there's people that want that to happen! And I've been talking about it since they first held that thing. It’s been...every speech I've been talking about Carrier! Little did I know…I'd be in Indiana!

And by the way…–THE CROWD CHEERS–…by the way, the coaches were so great to…endorse me. And we've had so many great endorsements…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…we’ve had…;  and Bobby Knight just called. And Bobby Knight’s gonna actually be here tomorrow all day. And I'll tell you, but Bobby Knight was…so cool. Because a year ago, before I was gonna run…you know, I…announced like nine or 10 months ago, on June 16th. Big day! Not easy to do this, it takes guts to do this up…! Believe me, folks! I had…I…I sort of had a nice life! I had a nice company, a nice family…!
Now I call back, I say, “I'll be home in four days!” …–THE CROWD LAUGHS
But I’ll tell you what, Bobby Knight called a year ago. And he heard I was thinking about running! I never met Bobby Knight. I knew Bobby Knight, [a] winner! Smart! Tough, which is what we need, in our country! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And Bobby called up, and then…first I had to make sure it was him, right? You know? Though they called back, they do all sorts of things. But Bobby called up, and he said, “I hope you're gonna run!”.
I said, “you know what, coach? I'm thinking about it seriously. It's a big commitment. We gotta make America great again. I watch what's happening…”
He said, “Donald, you gotta run!”.
I said, “coach, I'll tell you what. Do me a favor, give me your number. Let me see what I do. And…I'm gonna call you”.
Now what happens is then, a couple of months later I announced I’m running. And I come down, and we're talking about trade; we're talking about the border; we're talking about all these things that would have never brought up…been…it would have, literally…these things never would have even been brought up…if I didn't talk about them. [I’m] Telling you!
They weren't…in fact, when I talk about illegal immigration it was…like for two weeks I was getting just absolutely killed, in the press, by the dishonest media! By the media that said we have 1,500 people here tonight what we have 6,000, you know…–THE CROWD BOOS–…it’s so dishonest! Carl [Cameron] , don't be ashamed of yourself…–THE CROWD LAUGHS.
But...but, you know what? You know what? I had to do it! And we brought up illegal immigration; and we brought up trade; and then you had Paris; and then I started talking about the Muslim problem, which is a problem whether you like it or you don't! And nobody else talked about …–THE CROWD CHEERS. And we talked about radical Islamic terrorism, and we have a president that doesn't wanna use the term, because he doesn't know what the hell he’s doing! Or maybe he does know what he's doing, one of the other! Maybe he does know what he's doing! But in so many ways he doesn't.
But, so Bobby calls, and I put his number, and then I'm running. And…now all of a sudden, Indiana…because usually it's…late, but now Indiana's becoming very important! And I say…I say…–THE CROWD CHEERS–…no, it’s so important in terms of the race! Usually by this time it's over, and…you know, it doesn't matter. But this time, you folks, belong where you belong! It's called important Ville, right? It’s called…love it! I have so many friends here.
So, what happens is…we're…getting ready to…thinking about Indiana. Then we have the big victory last week. We have the huge victory in New York, we get every…; I mean, Cruz got almost no votes in New York! He's gonna do so bad…; he would be beaten so badly by Hillary Clinton! He can't win!
So, these guys…do terribly. And then, the following week, I get…win all five in a landslide. [I] win them all in a landslide, right? And we're gonna win the whole thing! We’re gonna beat her in a landslide, all right!? We’re gonna beat her…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, one of my political guy said to me like two weeks ago, [he] said, “you know, we're going to Indiana…”, and I've spent a lot of time here over the last…two weeks! And they said, “we're going to Indiana; I mean, if you could get…Bobby Knight…would that be possible?”.
I said, “possible!? I have his phone number on my desk!” …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. I said, “what a great idea!”.
So, I call him up, and here's how’s smart he is. He goes, “I've been waiting for your call” …–THE CROWD LAUGHS–…can you believe that? And then he said, “when can we meet?”. And he's been so incredible. And he said some things that were really…true. He said, for the people of Indiana…he said, “Donald Trump is gonna be a great president”. I will. I mean, I'm gonna work so hard to be great for you, people! I’m gonna work so hard…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We're gonna bring jobs back. We're not gonna let Carrier come in and just go to Mexico! And there's gotta be consequences. When people wanna lay off 1,400 people, go to Mexico, and then sell their product back to us, [and] have no tax, [and] have no consequence, [it’s] not gonna happen, folks! And that's not only Carrier, that's many of them! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Because we're losing our manufacturing! We're losing our country!
Between what's happening there, what's happening with China…500…billion…dollar trade deficit with China! 58 billion dollars with Mexico, trade deficit! A tremendous trade deficit, tremendous…astronomical trade deficit with Japan! Everybody! We have a trade deficit with everybody. You could call out a country, and I'll tell you…and now they wanna make a new deal! [The] Trans-Pacific Partnership, which will be as bad as NAFTA or worse, and NAFTA was terrible! …–THE CROWD BOOS. And who approved NAFTA? Kasich! Kasich approved NAFTA when he was a congressman, one of the deciding votes.
So, here's what happens: so Bobby said…and he talked…I'll tell you what, when he went into that arena, and it was a big arena, that was incredible. And he went in and people are screaming, and they're crying, and they love Bobby! You know…hey, look. He won 900 games. He won three World Championships, college championships…–THE CROWD CHEERS–…think of it! He won the Olympics. He won the PanAm[erican] Games.
He has the only…I don't know if you know, I didn't even realize this! I said, “how come it hasn't been broken yet?”. But he has the last undefeated season. And he almost had two in a row! He had one where he…lost one game, the one before it. I mean, here’s a guy who is a winner. He said, “for the people of Indiana, it's an important week, because…you can absolutely…” …you know, if we win, it's over. And then I can focus…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…then I don't have to worry about lyin Ted Cruz, and I don't care if he endorses me, or doesn’t…I couldn't care less!
But…but, I don't have to worry about lyin Ted Cruz. We don't have to worry about Kasich, who's one in 44…–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. And that’s his home state. And that’s because…I didn't go that final two days. I stayed in Florida, because I want to win Florida, and…I was given a faulty…you know, they gave me what's called ‘a dirty poll’. Somebody came out with a poll where I was much closer than I thought in Florida, so I stayed there instead of going to Ohio. If I would have spent two more days in Ohio, we would have won. But I didn't! It's okay.
But he's one…for 44, 45, 46…something, including…various other places. So, I'm saying, “here we have one for 44. Now, in the popular vote I’m millions of votes ahead of Cruz. Millions! But you know, it's a rigged system! It's totally rigged. This delegate stuff is…is rigged! It's dishonest! It's meant for the bosses, to be able to keep the special interest happy, and the people that give them money, so that Mexico, and other places where you have big interest…; it's…it’s…I'll tell you what, this system is so sick!
I…in Louisiana…I win Louisiana. I wasn't supposed to. I went there, I campaigned for three days…massive speeches. We had an airplane hangar, bigger than this room, [it] was packed. I go, I win…Louisiana. I said, “oh, that was great”.
Then, two three weeks later they're going over the…numbers. It says, “Trump won…Louisiana”. And I got like hardly any delegates I said, “wait a minute. I…I won! What are you talking about!?”. You know, don’t forget, it's only been nine months, folks. I'm figuring it out very fast. And I said, “that’s gotta be a crooked system! You mean I can win, and…the guy that comes in third place, or fourth place ends up getting more delegates than me?”. What kind of a system!? And then you learn…–THE CROWD BOOS–…no, think of it! No, no, it's a dirty system!
I'll tell you what I'm proud of. For 40 or 50 years, however long this has been going on with this crazy delegate system…nobody's ever complaint! Nobody had ever talked about it! You know, I've always heard, “delegate, delegate…”. I only realized.
And then you had in Colorado, where they did a poll…and it showed Trump was gonna win the poll, right? And they said, “we don't wanna go and vote, so let's take the vote away from the people…and let’s…the bosses pick it!”. And the bosses are always gonna pick a senator, who's under control and takes all these campaign contributions! …who borrows money from Goldman Sachs!
You know, Cruz borrowed money from Goldman Sachs and Citibank, a million dollars, at a rate that you would be proud to have, folks! Nobody in this room would be able to get that low rate. And he forgot to disclose it on his financial disclosure form. He forgot! He forgot! Lyin Ted! He said, “I forgot”.
He was…until 18 months ago, he was a citizen of Canada! He forgot to tell you that. “Oh, I didn't know that! Oh!”. This guy…I mean, give me a break.
But Bobby said…and it was so incredible. Bobby Knight said to the people, at one of the speeches, cuz he went around with me the day, he said, “it will be so…great, because…Donald Trump is gonna be a great president”. And I appreciated him saying.
And, ·the people…”…–THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY–…“…of Indiana, if they vote for him, they're gonna put him over the top, and we can focus on Hillary Clinton”. It’s so good! Nobody could say it like that! Nobody could say it like that! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, I appreciate…Lou Holtz just called it, and Lou Holtz just endorsed us, right? …–HALF THE CROWD CHEERS AND THE OTHER HALF BOOS–…a really good guy. He just put it out. He put it…it’s all…it's all over the internet. But Lou Holtz is a really good guy. So, we have…we have everybody! I mean, we have so many great endorsements.
You know it was very important to me? 16,500 Border Patrol people…endorsed me…last week…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They've never done it befor! And of course, Sheriff Joe. You talk about borders, Sheriff Joe, from Arizona endorsed me, that’s tough border stuff. But the sixteen thousand five hundred people have never endorsed a presidential candidate before, and they endorsed me. So that was a great honor. Because we need borders. We need to have a country back. We can't have people walking across our borders. And we have to either have a country, or we don't have a country! And you can't have a country if you don't have borders!
And on top of that, we have drugs pouring across. You know, when I won…New Hampshire, that was my first state that I won. And when you win something, you have a special feeling. And I won New Hampshire…in a landslide! I wasn't supposed to. Jeb we're supposed to. Jeb Bush…–THE CROWD BOOS. It’s true. He raised a 168 million dollars in a PAC, [a] super PAC, a 168 million. He was favored to win…New Hampshire, and I won it a landslide. Okay. So, what are you gonna do? I have a much higher…level…of energy! What can I say!?
But…–THE CROWD CHEERS–…but…no, Jeb was a low…and I wouldn't say that, because you know, once the race is over I love all these people. I…when you defeat somebody, we’re supposed to love him. Never lose. And I wouldn't say it, but…the other day was on television say bad stuff. Although he did say it was a phenomena, and he did say “he's a gifted politician”. I don't understand that. I'm not a gifted politician. I think…when he said “he's a very gifted politician”, [do] you know what I think? I think he meant that not as a compliment, actually. Being a politician itself, right? It’s not so great.
But…I beat Jeb Bush, and think of this: I spent the least amount of money. He spent the most. I came in first. He came in last or close. Other people have spent far more money than me. And so far, I've spent…of the…major candidates, I've spent…the least amount of money, by far, and I'm number one in a landslide, right? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Now…now…if you look at…education, 30 countries…we’re last! We're like…30th. We’re last. So, we'll last in education. If you look at costs per pupil, we're first.
So, we...and by the way, there is no second. Because we spend so much more per pupil that they don't even talk about number two, it's ridiculous. So, wouldn't you like…I mean, think of this. So, they have…we’re number…and by the way, it's…Norway; Denmark…; Sweden…; China…; Japan…; the five. We’re number 30th, okay? But we're first in terms of spending per pupil.
Now…and that's bad! That's bad! That's really bad! Now, with me, I spent the least, and I have the best result. Isn't that what you want for your president, folks!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And in here…and here’s the other thing: I'm self-funding. So, I'm not controlled by all these people…that control Cruz, that control Hillary…! Crooked, crooked, crooked Hillary…! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
You know, the other day they were talking about crooked Hillary and myself, right? And they said…they said…one of her people! And…one of Obama's people. And they said, “who do you think Hillary…wants to run against?”.
And the guy said, “let me tell you, the one she doesn't wanna run against is Donald Trump. She doesn't know where he’s coming…;”. She said, “a guy like Cruz is [a] cookie cutter. You know, every year…it'll make Barry Goldwater look like he had a successful campaign. He said, “with Trump they don't know what's gonna happen! They don't know where it's gonna come from!”.
And I'm gonna win states like New York, [a] good chance! A state which no Republican…would ever even campaign in, cuz they have no chance! You saw what I won by…two weeks ago, [a] landslide! Landslide! Against two people! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Against two people!
And the dishonest media…you know, when they say about like four, or five weeks ago, or ten weeks ago…would have…would have like…12 people! And I’d win, a state. I win South Carolina. I win Nevada. I win the south! I won Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky…I won them all! I won…I won them all! I won Missouri! I won them all!
Then I win Florida in a landslide. And they’re saying, “he didn’t win 50 percent”. I had like 12 people against me! You can't wait 50 percent! I mean, if I'm Abraham Lincoln, I can't get 50 percent! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. I got…they have 17 people, it's the biggest number of people ever to run, they can’t…that anybody can remember, ever! And yet I’ll get like 36; and 38; and 42; and I’d have these characters on television…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS–…who don't have the brains they were born with, folks, okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…they're dishonest! Okay? And then they’re dishonest!
But they’ll say…you know, I have this victory where I beat everybody by a lot. “He did not hit…50 percent”. I got 14 people! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. Even now, I have three people, so we have three people! It's hard to break 50 percent when you have three people! And yet in New York I got almost 62 percent! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…right?
In Pennsylvania…in Pennsylvania, I won every…single…County! Nobody remembers it ever happening before!
In Delaware, the same thing. In Maryland…! In…every one of them! In Connecticut! I won the rich areas…I won Greenwich, Connecticut; I won the poor areas! Nobody's ever seen it before!
And yet all here, “oh, perhaps he should have gotten more…”; actually, they didn't really say that, I must be honest. Even the bad guy said “they were landslides”, okay, that's…;
But, they'd always say…always say, well we had all these people running, “he didn't get 50 percent”; and Jeb would say, “oh, he's not the true conservative” …–THE C[MGF3] ROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
Let me tell you, I am a conservative. They would say…they would say…that I'm not conservative cause of trade! And on conservative…on trade, in terms of the definition, I believe in free market. But you can only have free market when you have smart people representing you. And we have dummies representing us…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We have real dummies and we have people that are controlled by special interest.
So, when you have that…you can throw the free trade out the window folks, cause you see what free trade has gotten! You see what globalization [is], where we go all over the world to lose money with everybody we deal with, because our politicians are corrupt and crooked, and they're totally taken care of by campaign contributions! And by the way, who would know better than me? Do I know the system better than anybody in the world, okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Anybody in the world.
So we have a rigged deal. And gere's what's gonna happen: [It’s] so important that tomorrow you get out and you vote. Tomorrow you gotta get out and vote, because we have a movement going on. Bill O'Reilly from FOX, who's a tough cookie…! I always sort of say, “man, that was tough!”, these interviews with him. But I like it. But bill O'Reilly is tough. He said in his…in his entire life, his entire life, this is the single…biggest…political…phenomena that he has ever witnessed. You, what's happening! The biggest! The biggest!
And then I stand here in these packed halls, with thousands, and thousands…[and] I gotta listen to Carl Cameron give us a phony count, okay? But…but think of it. Bill O'Reilly…said, “the single…biggest…political…event…”, [I] think that was the word he used, ‘event’, of his lifetime! That's a big statement! That's a big statement. That's the guy who's been around…he's a smart guy, but that's a big statement! But many people have said it. We've been…and it's us! It's all of us together! I'm a messenger. You're tired of…making less money than you did 18 years ago, and you're working twice as hard. You're tired of it! I understand it! I understand it…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You’re tired of seeing Carrier leave your state, go to Mexico, build a plant, put their equipment in, sell it like nothing happened…; and by the way, the air-conditioners are gonna cost the same, because they have to compete with Trane and all the other…companies. I buy from all of them. I'm not buying from Carrier anymore, by the way. I…I'm not buying! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But…but, they have to compete with all the other companies. It's gonna be the same, they're gonna make more…and you know what? What does it do for us!? Think of it! What does it do!? So, I'm a free trader, but free trade isn't working, and we don't have the people that can do free trade, because we don't have the smart people. Now they wanna do, you know, NAFTA destroyed our country…it…uh…destroyed large sections of our country.
It…by the way, you take a look at…your manufacturing here! It’s way…I mean, look at the numbers. They're…like a disaster! NAFTA has been…a disaster, right? [A] disaster! What it's done to New England, what is done to New York State, what is done here…what is done everywhere! Uh…Bill Clinton signed it! Bill Clinton! It was a Clinton deal! Bill Clinton signed it! It's been horrible.
Now they wanna pass Trans-Pacific Partnership, okay? That will be…worse than NAFTA! And we're gonna stop them from doing it, we're not gonna let them continue.
You know the document…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…the document is 6,000 pages long, and I guarantee you, every one of those countries…that's involved…every single one of them have read every word, every comma, every sentence, every paragraph…! And our guys have never even read it, I'll guarantee you that. 6,000 pages, folks. And all it is…is another way…for other countries…to suck the blood out of the United States, and we're not gonna let it happen! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And lying Ted Cruz is in favor of it! And lying Ted Cruz fought, because the single biggest…advantage that these companies have is monetary manipulation, where they make it impossible for our companies to compete with them. So, our companies end up living. It's monetary…it’s devaluation of their currency, especially China, which isn't in the TPP, but they will be, because if it works out as well as people think, where they rip us off, China will join later on through the back door! Okay? And they're watching it. I guarantee you. They have top people studying that. They're gonna come in through the back door at a later day.
But, Cruz…actually was responsible…for making sure that there's no language having to do with devaluation, and that's the biggest thing that they do to beat us! And Cruz…and he won't talk about it, but he's the one responsible. And the Senators all know it. I mean, if you look at Jeff Sessions, his all-time most respected senator…the one he most respects, Senator Jeff Sessions. And he talked about him all at the beginning: “Senator…senator…”, and…Jeff Sessions is…from Alabama, he's a fantastic guy. He endorsed Donald Trump! He endorsed Trump! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.  That was a great endorsement. We've had so many. We've had so many. But Jeff Sessions…!
But, he doesn't wanna do anything about…Trans-Pacific Partnership; he doesn't wanna do anything about the manipulation, about devaluation of currency, and without that, folks, we are going to…[do] you think NAFTA was bad? This will make NAFTA look like a baby! So, we gotta get in there fast, we gotta knock it out. And I don't mind making agreements, but we shouldn't make agreements with 12 countries. We should make agreements with one-on-one, one-on-one! One-on-one! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY.
And you know what? If they don't treat us right, we pull the agreement. We have this thing, we're all bound up…we got all…so you gotta see the chart! This a chart from hell! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. Nobody even knows! And I'm telling you, those guys are studying it, and we…nobody from our group has even read the damn agreement, okay!? And it's gonna be a disaster. And it goes on for many years!
I want one-on-one! If somebody treats us well, we make a trade agreement, and I'll have the best negotiators in the world make a fair agreement, okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I don't wanna be tied up!
If country a does this, and if country c does that, then country d will be able to come through…; nobody knows what the hell's going on!
And the bad countries, countries that haven't treated as well, benefit…because they get the benefit of what the good countries to getting…! So everybody is taking advantage, it's a disaster! We go one-on-one with countries, and if they treat us well, we take care of them! And if they treat us badly, we…we can't get out of this thing, this is like a spider's web! So, just remember it. And Cruz wants it. And so does Kasich, by the way. Cruz wants it. So, we're not gonna let it happen. Okay!
So, when I came down the escalator, with my wife, and on June sixteenth, not long ago. And I brought up all of these things, and I thought, really, at the time, it was gonna be trade. And it was going to be immigration, illegal immigration. And we gave a speech, and pretty much right at the beginning, we went up from…you know, what…actually, we went up from…they wouldn't poll me, cause they never thought I was gonna run, the press! They never thought I was gonna run.
So, we went up right almost from the beginning, and within a few weeks we were number one, okay? People agreed with what I was saying! And we've been number one ever since! Every single…! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We have been number one ever since!
And…and importantly, I never debated before! I was at center stage for every…single…debate and I won every single debate according to every poll. Drudge, who's an amazing guy, Drudge. And Time magazine, and Slate…every…single…poll…had me number one that I won every debate! I never did it before!
And you know, Cruz, I heard he was a good debater. I think it's a terrible debater! [He] Said…it…if…it's good if you wanna hear Shakespeare! I mean, I don't wanna hear Shkespeare. See, what…what…you know, when he negotiates…when he debates in...high school, and college…? Nobody interrupted him. With me, I interrupted him. And he got all lost, and…“what? Nobody ever did this to me before…”. It's called ‘the real world’, right folks? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's called ‘the real world’.
So we won every debate. But importantly, right from the beginning, just about, I went to number one, and…all these characters back there, “well, now he's reached his ceiling!”. You know, I started off like it six, or five, or something. And they said, “well, he's got five!”. That was higher than most. But, “he's got five, but now he's plateaued!”. Oh, okay. [The] Next week I went to like…11. “Well, he's at 11…but that's the highest he’ll go! He's got a group of about 11 percent that love him”, right? You know this. This is been going on for weeks.
Then it gets to…14; then I went to 18; then I went to 24; and they kept saying, “he's plateaued! I know he's plateaued!”. You know, these morons like Karl Rove. The guy’s a moron! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS AND CHEERS. He still thinks…no, no! No, no! Karl Rove, he still thinks Romney won! “Uh…didn't Romney win? I thought Romney win!”.
Romney got wiped out! He should have won that election, that was an election that should have been won! And I backed him! And I backed…John McCain, a tough one to win, because the economy crashed. But...I backed…McCain, he didn't win. I backed Romney, [he] should have won, [he] didn't win. I said, “this time, we're gonna do it ourselves folks. We're gonna win. We're gonna win. We're gonna win” …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
So…so, a lot of things happened. So, I talked about trade. I talked about illegal immigration. Then you had the killing of Kate in San Francisco, shot in the back, by somebody that should have never been allowed in this country. And you had Jameel in California. Jameel, [a] young boy [whose] father became a great friend of mine, that was in San Francisco. Then, his father became…in…Los Angeles area, California. And, he was killed. His father is a great guy. His son was taken from a…illegal immigrant, shot through the…face, three or four times for doing nothing! …–THE CROWD CHANTS ‘BUILD THAT WALL!’. We're gonna build a wall. And then you had…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and then you had the…incredible…veteran…65 year old…woman, raped, sodomized and killed in California. And this is all over the country! And folks, we're not gonna take it anymore! We're not gonna take it anymore! We’re not taking it anymore! د…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And then polls start coming out where Trump is definitely the best on the border, and best…on everything. And, I mean best on everything, except they didn't like my personality. Who cares about my personality? I think I'm a nicer person than these people…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. The only thing I didn't do well on was ‘personality’!
And by the way, the women's vote…women…? Nobody respects women more than I do, I will tell you that. And…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and, women are looking for security in our country. And they know I'm gonna do the best job!
Look at Hilary, with her call. [Do you] Remember the ad!? “Who's gonna be awake at three o'clock in the morning!?”. Well, when they called her on Benghazi, she was sleeping, folks! She was sleeping! Okay? She was…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…she was sleeping; “whos gonna be awake?”. She wasn't awake!
So, all of a sudden the polls start showing great. And, we've been doing amazing. But then you had a thing called ‘Paris’, where Paris…130 people killed. Hundreds of people [are] laying in the hospital right now,[they are]  injured so badly their lives are destroyed. You had people that went in, and just…boom, boom! [They have the] Toughest gun laws in the world, Paris and France. [The] Toughest in the world! Boom, boom, boom! [They] Just stayed there shooting people, killing people, hurting people…permanently, forever. I mean, people are so badly injured, hundreds of them!
Then you had in San Bernardino, you had a…radicalized couple come out. They worked for people. They were given a baby shower by the same people they killed, a short time later. Boom, boom! No guns on the other side. Let me tell you, if you had guns on the other side, whether it's Paris, or San Bernardino, or some of the military people that were killed…? We have gun-free zones…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…[it] would have been a whole different story. [It] Would have been a whole different story, folks!
And in fact, it may never have even happened. Because of these people found out…if they found out that there were guns in the room, they probably wouldn't have even gone in there, okay!? So, it might have been a completely different story…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
So, we’ll…we’ll protect our Second Amendment. And we're gonna really protect our Second Amendment, okay? And we're gonna take care of it and cherish it…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Because, you know, they're chipping away, they're chipping away at the Second Amendment. We're not gonna let it happen.
So, the story…is that…we're gonna take care of our people. We're gonna make them ‘America first’. We're gonna…we're gonna negotiate deals with people, we want other countries to do well, but it's gonna be ‘America first’. We can't do it any other way. When we have 19 trillion…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…when we have 19 trillion in debt, going to 21 trillion because of that horrible budget that was made four months ago, the Omnibus Budget…the Omnibus…which by the way, funds Obamacare…! …which funds…Syrians coming in, that we have no idea where they come from, who they are…; and they're coming here! …–THE CROWD BOOS–…which funds illegal immigration, and immigrants, illegal immigrants coming in, and lots of other things…!
You know, I always say…that Obama is a horrible negotiator, except when it comes to negotiating with the Republicans in Congress! He gets everything he wants! And what happens!? And we send these people on…and I'm a fan of the Tea Party, which has been maligned over the years, okay!? It's just been maligned! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But I'm a fan. We send these people, and they go and, “we're gonna get rid of Obamacare! We’re gonna this, we’re gonna that…!”.
Then they get elected, right? They go, [and] they look at these beautiful halls, and these beautiful ceilings, and the marble, and the…statues, and the…and something happens! They become…lost! And, he looks at his wife and he goes, “Ellis, we finally arrived”. And then they vote for everything! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. That's that happening with me. That's not happening with me, folks. [It’s] Not gonna happen…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
So…so, it's been such an honor, and I'm gonna try seeing the other two rooms. Maybe I'll bring Carl Cameron with me…–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. But I'm gonna try and stop by. But, let…let me just tell you. It has been such an honor. But hopefully, folks, tomorrow…and you'll get every friend you have that can vote. Every friend you can have. Everybody!
Because here's what's gonna happen, you're gonna remember this evening…thank you, I love you! I love you! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I love you, thank you! Thank you!
You gotta remember this evening, and we had a good time with a bad subject! The bad subject is…uh…[the] country is doing terribly! You know, the real job number is 20 percent or more. It's not five percent. That was put in to make politicians look good.
If you stop looking for a job…you’re looking, looking, looking. [If] You stop looking, they consider you statistically employed, okay? And you have millions of people out there, they can't get jobs. We're gonna bring our jobs back to…our…country! And we're not gonna let people leave so easily anymore! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
So…so, you're gonna remember this night, but more importantly, you're gonna remember the vote that you cast tomorrow. And, you're gonna say…when you look back in five years, in 20 years, in…hopefully 50 years, some of the young people…we have so many young people! I think I have younger people…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS…I think I have younger people than Bernie!
By the way, Bernie…Bernie…in all fairness, his system's rigged also. Only…the Republicans rig it in a much more sophisticated way, without the superdelegate thing. But Bernie is…you know, he wins, he wins, he wins, he wins…and you watch these guys, “he can't win”.
But here's what you do. Here's what you do: you gotta vote. And…we gotta keep this movement going. We will make America so great…uh….maybe greater than ever before. If we have to suffer, though. And Cruz will lose…in a…the biggest landslide in history.
And Kasich, when he gets hit with a negative ad…!? I've had…60,000…negative…! It was just reported! 60,000…negative ads! Cruz has had none! Kasich has had none! When they get hit with their first negative ad…they're over! With me, I think we're immune to it! And the ads were wrong! They're totally phony ads.
But here's the story, folks: you're gonna look back, in years from now, and you're gonna say it was the single…greatest…vote…you've ever cast. And here's why…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…because our country…our country is going to start winning again. We're gonna win with our militaries, it’s being depleted. We're gonna build up our military, [and] make it stronger, bigger, [and] better than ever before…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And we're gonna knock the hell out of ISIS, just so you understand. We have no choice…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We have no choice.
As part of that, we're gonna take care of our great veterans. Our veterans have been left behind, [it’s] very unfair! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
We're gonna win on education, we're getting rid of Common Core, we're bringing education local, we're gonna win on education…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We're gonna repeal Obamacare, and we're gonna come up with something that's…so…much…better and less expensive! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
We're gonna save, and protect, and cherish our Second Amendment…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
We're gonna build the wall. We're gonna have Mexico pay for the wall, and we're gonna have strong borders, and we're gonna have people come into our country…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…but they're going to come in legally! Legally!
And we are going to make unbelievably…good…trade deals! No more stupid deals where our business is that our money gets sucked out of our country. We're gonna make…great…trade deals, done by the greatest people. We have the greatest negotiators in the world right here in this country, and we're gonna use them! We're not gonna use political hacks, that don't know what they're doing, and probably, who the hell knows…they're bought off, and that's why they're making such bad deals!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're gonna make the greatest trade deals!
And you're gonna look back and you're gonna say, “[do] you know what? That's what we started winning again. When Trump took over”.
And we're gonna win! We're gonna keep winning! We're gonna win so much [that] you're gonna beg me, “Mr. President, please, please! It's too much winning! We can't take it!”.
And I'm gonna say, “I don't care! We're gonna keep winning, because we're gonna make America great again!” …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
I love you! Thank you, Indiana, I love you!
