Thank you everybody. Wow! Thank you! Oh, what a group! We love Salt Lake City! We love Utah! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You know, they didn't have me scheduled at Utah. I was going right into Phoenix. And I said, “wait a minute. I wanna go to Utah! What's going on with Utah!?”…­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Based on what I see here, we might win Utah. You know, we have thousands of people…really great people. Thousands of people outside. Unbelievable. We have speakers set up out there, but you have a better location, I must say that…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, we had an amazing Tuesday. We won five, including the islands. We won five…! …–THE CROWD CHEERS–…and, it was incredible. We…picked up a lot of delegates. We're moving…we're moving. And I think, you know, they talk about the convention. I think [that when] we get to the convention, it's over. I don't think there is gonna be much of a dispute…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I don't think we're gonna have a lot dispute.
Uh…the…uh…the numbers were fantastic: Illinois unbelievable. And in…uh, you know, we had, as you know, I had a tough race in Florida. I was facing…the future of the Republican Party, Marco Rubio…–THE CROWD BOOS. The future. Well…that's what they said. They said he's the future the Republican Party. I assume he's not gonna be endorsing me. I don’t know, I haven’t…uh…found that out, but…I assume.
But we face the future of the Republican Party, folks! Someday you'll get another chance to vote for him, maybe. You know, you never know. You never know. And boy, did we win, big! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIDIDLY.
We got 99 delegates,  just about the max. And we got 99. We did incredible, between Illinois, Missouri…we’re still waiting for it. I mean, we won Missouri, but we're still waiting for that final count. And you know, I keep hearing the Cruz is somebody that's a big shot…in Missouri. But I don't think Missouri works that way. That's a great place folks, I'll tell you…–THE CROWD CHEERS.
So, we did…we did fantastically there. We did…we've done great essentially everywhere. [We] started…I mean, very good in Iowa. Except a lot of…you know, lyin Ted Cruz. What he did…­THE CROWD BOOS. Lyin Ted! Lying Ted! …­-THE CROWD BOOS. One of the…the biggest liars I've ever seen in my life. I really mean it.
You know, and he walks in…you know, the evangelicals are with me, cause they know one thing about me: I'm not a liar! But…­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS…but Ted Cruz, he walks in, Bible high…Bible high, puts it down, and then he starts lying! I'll tell you what! …­–THE CROWD BOOS.
Now, he's got a lot of problems. We'll talk about him for a second, but he's got a lot of problems. Number one, in all fairness…look: is he really a natural-born citizen? I mean, give me a break! …-THE CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’. Give me a break!
And here's what's gonna happen. I don't think you'll ever get the chance. I don't think they care, and that's why they're not wasting their money yet. Do you notice that Hillary's only focused on me? Only! They talk about Trump, Trump, Trump! And the last person she wants to be running against is Trump, and us…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Believe me.

So, he was born in Canada. [He] lived there for four years. He was a citizen of Canada 15 or 16 months ago…he was a citizen of Canada! Can you believe it!? He became a United States Senator. And then he said, “I didn't know I was a citizen of Canada!”. Lyin Ted! Lyin Ted! He didn't know! …­–THE CROWD BOOS. He was a joint. He was US and he was Canada. And…uh…you know, that's not the way it's supposed to work! You’re supposed to be born like here, here, here! …–­THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, the first thing that's gonna happen if he should luck out, because he would…he'd…need a lot of luck. He is really, really far behind. And you know, he was supposed to win South Carolina. [A] Big evangelical base, 68 percent. And that was gonna be his. We won in a landslide, right? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And that was right after I was attacked by the Pope, but the Pope came back the next day. The Pope was talking about illegal immigration, and when he found out about…what it really represented, he was terrific. The Pope was okay. Fortunately, just before the votes started going, cause you wanna know…; we never wanna take on the Pope, right? …­–THE CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’ TIMIDLY. You know, we don't wanna take him on. So, anyway.
So, the evangelicals have been so amazing. Everybody's so amazing. And do I…love…the Mormons, okay? …–­THE CROWD CHEERS VIDIDLY. Do I…love…the Mormons!
I have many friends that live in Salt Lake. I have a lot of friends. Now, I have a lot of friends. By the way, Mitt Romney is not one of them. Did he choke!? …–THE CROWD BOOS. Did this guy choke!? He's a choke artist! I can't believe! Are you sure he's a Mormon!? Are we sure!? He choked! He choked! It was so sad! He should have beaten Obama! We wouldn't be working! I could be back right now! I could be back, working in New York, and doing my deals, and…having fun, and being with my family…! Ivanka is having a baby today, or tomorrow, or the next day…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I could be with Ivanka…! Instead I’m with you, which is okay. I've…it’s okay! …–THE CROWD CHEERS.
But, no…Ivanka…Ivanka is having a baby. I thought, maybe, three weeks ago, two weeks ago! I mean, it's gotta happen soon! We thought it could have happened…uh…I've always gone…every time I go to a primary place, I say, “maybe Ivanka? Come on, let's see what happens!”, right? I took her to Florida! I hoped. [It] didn't work! But I should have brought her right here. That would have been very good…­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But [she’s having it] any day now. It should be over the next couple of days, but she's really special. She sends her regards. And, she really is, very special.
Don is with me. Don Trump. And he's with me, somewhere…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUS. Where is he!? Come on! Come on, Don.
See? Here's all these reports! He wants to protect his father. You know, it's like one of those things! I have a good…son. And Eric is…is fantastic. They always like to travel.
And by the way, outside…[it] looks absolutely fine. We have, they said 2,500 of you, and they have some of the agitators slash protesters. Some of protesters, about two percent. And then some are agitators. That would be the rest, okay?
And you know, we have to be allowed our freedom of speech, folks. We have to be allowed freedom of speech…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're not causing any problems. And you know, if you look at some of the other places we've been…it's been very, very safe. And you'll have a protester, or agitator, but [they] stand up and start screaming; then the crowd screams them down, and in fact, I wouldn't mind going over…that…original noise. But then the crowd goes so wild…! nd all they're doing is screaming ‘U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A!’. And then you can't speak, because it's so noisy [that] it's incredible.
And had I known, you know, we were trying to get a really big place. I feel very guilty. In fact, we'll come back. I promise. We're gonna come back…­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Don't forget, we only set this up like yesterday afternoon. And it is true! I mean, it's true! I said, “I wanna stop in Utah!”. I know I’m gonna do great there. And…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But, I have friends that are here. And I have a couple of friends…I have, actually, one who's Jewish, and he loves…!; He says that the hardest-working people…he loves the Mormons! He loves the Mormons! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And he's got a very successful business. And, he's just very, very proud. And, I have so many friends, I've had many…I've had many Mormons work…uh…you know, for me. And they give to the church. And they, constantly give. Sometimes I make the payment directly to the church! They say they don't wanna be tempted by keeping the money, okay!? …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. But…well, they’re…they’re amazing people, and I…it's an honor to be with you tonight, for those of you that are Mormons. It’s an honor…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I love you.
So, we have a lot of things we can talk about. I do wanna talk a little bit about the competition, because this started off with 17 people. We're now down to three, or as they say, usually, on television, two and a quarter…–THE CROWD LAUGHS. I actually think it's one and a half, if you wanna know the truth…­THE CROWD CHEERS.
But, we don't have many left. And, uh…you know, they asked me on television. They say, “well, maybe you'll start acting more presidential”.
I say, “what's wrong with the way I'm doing it right now, in all fairness?”. You know…–THE CROWD CHEERS VIVIDLY. That's, you know, their form of a knock. I could be the most presidential person you've ever seen. The one thing I have to say is, you have to knock them out! You know, a lot of people. With 17…they were coming at me from different angles. If you're too presidential, you're gonna lose. We don't wanna lose, right? We're not people that don't know how to close. We know how to close the deal! …–THE CROWD CHEERS.
And they said to me, Bill O'Reilly, [a] good guy. [He] Said to me the other night, he said, “well, are you gonna stop with you this, so you’re gonna act a little more…?”.
I said, “Bill, I have two more leftovers. I have to take care of that first, okay?”…­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I have to take care. And then after that, I promise I'll act presidential. Well, maybe I'll wait till Hillary gets out. Maybe I'll wait till we knock out at her…–THE CROWD CHEERS.
[MOU1] Number one, she shouldn't be allowed to run, okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. How that deal is working out! How that deal…; and I have to tell you something, [it] just came out over the wires. The Reuters tracking polls. So, you know, we have four, five, six people…and they're always comparing me like…with Hillary, the Wall Street Journal, which has no idea. Anything about math…; they had a thing. “Well, Hillary had X billions of votes and you had a little bit less”.
I had 17 people in my deal! She had Bernie! Just Bernie! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Who looks like he's finished now.
You know, I'd love to run against Bernie, but honestly, I'd rather run against Hillary. I…I must be honest…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, you know, with all of those people, that's a tremendous amount of people. So one, by one, by one…they leave. This guy, Lindsey Graham, [did] you ever see a guy like this? …–THE CROWD BOOS. He's at seven…he started at seven, I started hitting him…he really hit me! I mean, in all cases, wouldn’t you say…? In…oh, you guys are a nice crowd! Nice-looking people! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Those lights are bright! They're bright!
But, in all fairness, if…they hit me, and you have to hit back. Look at Marco. He hit me, he went…for everything he could do…! He even talked about these powerful hands…! Look at that…–MR. TRUMP SHOWS HIS HANDS. He talked about the hands! And he makes stuff up! As he goes along. You know, they're politicians. All talk, no action politicians…–THE CROWD CHEERS. They will never…take you…where you wanna be, folks. They're all taken care of with campaign…;
Look, campaign contributions a hundred percent. Whether it's a pharmaceutical drug industry, whether it's anything you wanna name! They're all taken care of. A 100 percent. And you go up to them, and you say, “well, who is it? Who's gonna be the lobbyist to take care of Ted Cruz?”. I could give you the name of lobbyists, okay? It's almost like emblazoned on their forehead, the lobbyists’ forehead. ‘Cruz!’ ‘Cruz!’…–THE CROWD LAUGHS.
And you go in, and they raised for them, and…; I'm self-funding my campaign. I'm not taking money, okay? I’m for you. I’m for you…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I'm for you.
So, a lot of things…thank you very much. A lot of…this is a very friendly group here! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I expected a couple of protesters. I…I mean, I'm sure some, a couple of protesters…did any protesters sneak in tonight? Anybody? Huh? …–THE CROWD STARTS CHANTING ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY.
So…that's so nice! You know, I was seeing, in coming in, I was seeing that there was some protesters outside. They don't show the two thousand people that are trying to get in that are with us! They show other people. And, how they get here is…pretty sad! But you're gonna have to check on it, because they always talk about we’re stifling them. They’re stifling us, folks! They’re stifling us! We want nobody to get hurt. We want everything to be perfect. And this seems to be like a perfect evening, but they can't stifle us. They can't let it happen! …–THE CROWD CHEERS. We can't allow it to happen! It's too important.
And you know, with all of the big rallies…I had 21,000, I had 35,000 in…Alabama, recently. No matter where we go, we have tremendous rallies. And with all of these rallies, people aren't getting hurt, folks! We did cancel Chicago, and I did it…I think a very wise thing, and I've been given credit. I hated to do it! …–THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
We had 25,000 people coming into Chicago. And we were able to get a lot of them not to bother coming in, because it looked like it could have been a problem. We ended it, and nobody was hurt. And we did a smart thing. But it's really unfair!
You know, you talk about freedom of speech, you talk about the First Amendment…[it’s] very, very unfair when they can stifle us. [It’s] Very unfair. Remember that. Just remember that. And we can't let it…and we can't let it happen. All right.


I wanna talk about a few things. I wanna talk about a few…; first of all, I have to talk about this: Reuters just came out with their new poll. The big tracking poll. I'm almost 50! It's 47…49…­–THE CROWD CHEERS–…listen…49.7 I said, ·you couldn't get…you couldn't get me to 50, right?”…–THE CROWD CHEERS. And that's with four people! So, 40…you know, when you have 49.7, [and] you have four people, that means you're 65, [or] 70 percent…; that's a national poll.
Emerson just came out, a New York poll. I hope I do so well in Utah…! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUS. [t] Just came out, a little while ago. Emerson, 64 percent for Trump; 12 percent for Cruz…–THE CROWD BOOS; and Kasich…had one percent…–THE CROWD BOOS. 64 percent. Emerson, [a] very, very respected poll.
Uh…CNN came out, a week ago. And CNN had us at 49…or some really…some really high number…49. And I'll tell you what, we are doing well, folks! We are doing well! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And people are asking me all the time. I'm on so many magazine covers, you know, it's like…; and if I don't like the magazine, we just use it for wallpaper. We’d put it up as wall paper…–THE CROWD LAUGHS. I've been hit on some of them. You know, they say, “oh, we wanna do a great story”.
I say, “they'll never do a great story”. I do it, [and] I’m right. You know, I can almost tell by the magazine, fair or not fair. I tell you who has treated me fairly: Time…magazine. I've been on the cover many times over the last four or five months. I mean, like…many times! And, in particular, one of them was incredible, because they were talking about this as a movement. It's never been done before! There's never been anything like this before. Thousands and thousands of people.
You know the nice thing? Yes, I'm spending my own money. Yes, it's a lot of money. [I’m] Probably in for about 30 million dollars already. [It’s] A lot of money. But other people are in first three, [or] four five times that.
In New Hampshire, which I owe a lot to, cause the people of New Hampshire are incredible; and they have a big problem! Drugs! They have a drug problem. It's like an incredible problem. And I said, “I'm gonna stop up that border. You're not gonna have drugs coming into New Hampshire anymore”. I owe to them…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And that means Utah, and that means Salt Lake City. I mean, that means a lot of different places!
But you know, New Hampshire, with the beautiful fields, and the trees, and everything's so beautiful…; and I'd go to a meeting with people that live there, and it was always like…the biggest problem they have, heroin. And you just don't see it for New Hampshire!
So, we said to them…and I mean it. Then I went to South Carolina. We won New Hampshire in…a landslide. We then went to South Carolina, where I was expected to come in second. And we won in a landslide, because the evangelicals don't like lying. And they don't like liars! …–THE CROWD CHEERS. They're smart! And they don't want that. And then we went all over! We went to Nevada. We had a landslide there. Pretty much a landslide everywhere we've been.
The biggest landslide was Florida! 20 points! Almost 20 points! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. That was a great…that was a great victory. That was a victory. Everybody said, “the polls must be wrong”. Cuz they were showing like 18 point…; 16 points…; one of the polls had eight or nine points, but they didn't like me. You know, those polls are a little bit suspect before…; the ultimate poll is the vote, right?
But the polls were showing 16, 17 points. We won by close to 20 points. And, it was an amazing…event. And people…it…look, the biggest story in all of politics, worldwide, is what's happening to the Republican Party. Can you believe this!? It’s true! …–THE CROWD CHEERS. Because the voting turnout is massive. It's…and you know who they are, right? The people coming in…where are they from? They're Democrats; They’re independents…; and you know, almost…what's, to me, the most impressive. And I see it when I'm signing or when I'm shaking hands with people.
Most impressive, to me, is the fact that many of the people…so many…I would say…of the new people coming in, which is millions and millions of people, 15, [or] 20 percent [are] new voters! People that have never voted before! 50 years old, 60 years old, 30 years old…these are people…they say, “Mr. Trump, I'm 38 years old. I love you. I've never voted before. I've never had the incentive to vote before…”. And we have…we have…I think…I guess, ultimately, millions of people coming in. They've never…you know what a great thing that is for a democracy, when you think about it? …­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
These are people…these are smart people. These are great people. These are hardworking people. But they've been left out! They've been disenfranchised! They haven't liked the people that the…you know, they're smart! They see people that they're supposed to vote for, and they say, “I'm not gonna vote!”. And we can understand that.
But people that…I had one person in Tennessee, she's the old-time record: 93 years old. Everybody knows who I'm talking about. [It was] A big story. 93 years old. [She] never voted before. Now, I could say, “come on, you have to admit…you know…you've gotta do a little voting”, right? She never voted before. She voted for the first time recently, in Tennessee. 93 years old. That is so amazing! And she's like a fan! She's 93, she's wearing a Trump shirt! She's wearing a Trump shirt! …­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…so I think it's an amazing tribute to all of us. It's an amazing tribute when they talk about the movement, and when they talk about the fact that they've never seen anything like it! And nothing stops us.
The other thing they say and it comes out very strongly in the polls is that the Trump people are by far the most loyal. They actually say…­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…no, they actually say that Trump can do almost anything and they’d…never leaving; whereas some guys, if they sneeze…if the candidate sneezes, they’re gone! The people are gone. Trump could do almost anything.
So, I guess…there are certain things, maybe not, but almost anything. Thank You, man! Thank you! We love you all! We love you too…! Thank you! Thank you…–THE CROWD STARTS CHANTING ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY. Thank you. Oh, that's beautiful! Look!
What's it all about? You know the theme: make America…great again…–THE CROWD CHEERS. That's the theme! And I will say this: uh…our country is doing…terribly. The real number of unemployment is…is many times what they report. That number was meant for politicians. It was meant probably for presidents. So that they could say they’re 5 percent.
You know what? If real employment, and of real unemployment was at 5 percent…? I wouldn't have the crowds that I'm having. No matter what.



Now, with all of that being said, I'm gonna talk a little bit about trade. We're gonna talk certainly about security. We're gonna have a little fun. Then I'll go home! And I’ll…we'll…go…you know, and then on Tuesday, you're gonna go when you're gonna vote for who!? …–THE CROWD YELLS. Yeah, do it!
And if you want, I’ll come back. I don't care! I'll keep coming back! But I wanna do well in Utah! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, no I wanna do well. Because you can't have Cruz! I wanna go over a couple of more things, okay? Ready?
I wrote these notes down. Listen:
Number one…–THE CROWD CHEERS–…number one, Cruz has done nothing. He hasn't done anything! He'll stand on the Senate floor, [he] gets along with nobody…practically nobody in terms of senators. You just got one from…Mike Lee, a nice guy. But you know, the one he talked about was Senator Jeff Sessions, right? He'd say, “Senator Jeff Sessions…!”. Senator Jeff Sessions endorsed me! Okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And Jeff Sessions is one of the most respected…Alabama, [he’s] one of the most respected senators in…in…there is! I mean, there's nobody better. I mean, he's great. But he endorsed me. And then now Cruz doesn’t talk about him anymore, but that's okay. He used to talk about…-THE CROWD CHEERS.
But number one, he did nothing. [Do you] Remember [that] he went down and he…he…filibustered for a day or something, and he's ranting, and raving…; and everybody is standing up there saying, “when's he gonna get off?”, you know? “When's he getting…?”. [He] got nothing done! He hasn't passed anything! The I…he…I mean, he talks! He is all talk, no action. He talks, and talks…and then he said…you know [wha’s] the greatest? He gets up and he said…and you saw that during the debate, but he says it all the time: “I'm the only one…that can beat Donald Trump”, again, holding the Bible! …–THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. “I'm the only one that can beat him! I have beaten him five times! I have beaten him five times! And this is it! And I'm the only one…!”.
And then what happens…when, during the debate, I said, “yeah, but I beat you 20 times!”. He doesn't mention that, you know…–THE CROWD CHEERS. He doesn't mention it. It's something like five, or six to 20. And you know, it's amazing. Plus, we won the islands. We won the islands, which we love. We love those Islands! They were great! We got nine delegates. So, I think we're in great shape.
Now, a couple of things: Trans-Pacific Partnership. He's in favor of that! …­–THE CROWD BOOS. That's gonna take your business away, folks. Now, I was totally opposed to NAFTA. NAFTA is a disaster. You know what NAFTA's done. NAFTA has been very bad. The TPP is going to be even worse. It's gonna take your business. It's gonna drain it out. You're gonna give it to some wonderful people in Asia. We're tired of giving our business away. I'm gonna stop it. Nobody else even understands it. They don't understand devaluation! They don't understand anything about business! They…all they know is one thing: how to get elected, and how to get reelected; although some of them aren't that good at that either…–THE CROWD CHEERS.
A couple of things. Okay. So, TPP is a disaster. A major reason why Obama…got the trade powers is because of Ted Cruz! He's the one that pushed it! He also pushed something that I think is…terrible: Justice Roberts, in the Supreme Court, who twice ruled in favor of Obamacare! …–­THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. You might as well call it Roberts Care Act of Cruz Care, because if Justice Roberts…and Cruz was primarily responsible! He pushed him! And Justice Roberts, and you can…take a look back at your journals, you'll see all sorts of stories, where…where Ted Cruz's pushing Roberts. Roberts had two chances to kill Obamacare. Shockingly, both times, he voted in favor of it. It was dead! It was gone! Nobody could believe what happened! And they won. So, that's no good.
By the way, Scalia…? Great guy. We have to replace him. We have to replace him with somebody as close to him as we can get. And you know, when I see…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…when I see the disharmony, when I see the…the lack of harmony that we have in our party…with, you know, Mitt [Romney] going, this…Mitt let us down. He just let us down! …–THE CROWD BOOS. He let us down!
He choked like a dog. He choked like a dog. But…but, you know, when I see he's just like…it's…it's…just crazy. He's out…he's out campaigning with Kasich, and then he endorses Cruz! Nobody, it…you know, people are saying, “are you sure you know what you're doing?”. It turned out to be a good thing! My numbers went way up! I don't know what's going on! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. My numbers went way up.
But, there has to be some unity in the party, folks. Because you know what? If we don't win, you're gonna have, probably, Hillary, if she doesn't get…put in the slammer…–THE CROWD BOOS. No…well, that's what's gonna happen. That's what's gonna happen. And we will beat her…I'll beat her…;
So, coming in I was watching the networks, and they were saying…the one that has the best chance to beat Hillary is Trump. And that's true…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And I don't even call it a chance. You saw what happened two months ago with her.
So, look. [It’s ] Very important…very important, we're gonna destroy the manufacturing in this country. I'm the one that knows how to bring it back. I'm bringing jobs back from China! I'm bringing drugs back from Mexico…–THE CROWD CHEERS–…which is a big deal for you; which is a big deal for you. A very, very big deal.
Now, the other thing with Ted Cruz, he backed amnesty. And he's actually weak on illegal immigration. I saw him today standing at the border…–THE CROWD BOOS. Remember one thing, folks. The great…Joe…Arpaio! Do we know Joe!? Sheriff's Joe! Trump…Trump! …–THE CROW CHEERS.
One thing we know: if Sheriff Joe is backing us, we've got…we're good on the border. Do we agree!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS. They wouldn't even be talking about the border if I didn't come down that escalator on June 16th, and bring it up. If I didn't bring up illegal immigration, I don't even think you'd be talking about it. And it's a huge problem in terms of economics; [and] more importantly in terms of crime; and in terms of what they're getting away with; and in terms of drugs, flowing into all of your communities, and poisoning the blood…of our youth and everybody else! And we're…going…to stop it! Okay? We're going to stop! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Now, we have trade deficits with China of 500…billion…dollars…a year! We have trade deficits with Mexico…of 58 billion dollars a year! Japan, massive numbers! It's gonna end, folks! It's gonna end! You can't do that! We can't do it! It's sucking out…that's why we have 19 trillion in debt. We're going up with a really bad budget. That budget was a disgrace. The so-called omnibus budget. We’re going up. It’s gotta end. We’re not gonna let this happen. I have got the greatest negotiators in the world that back me. Business people. The best: Carl Icahn…many others…; these are the people! We have now political hacks, that are negotiating China…with Japan…with Mexico…; They have their smartest people. They take advantage of us. It’s over! It’s over! It’s over! Remember it! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We’re not gonna let it happen anymore. We can’t let it happen. We’re not gonna have a country anymore. We can’t have our jobs and our factories…; look at what’s going on just recently! I told you of an article…there’s an article where Johnson controls, and Tyco…; billions of dollars moving out! You look at the drug companies are moving out. Pfizer is moving…I mean, they're all moving out! We're not gonna have anything left! We're gonna have senior citizens’ homes, where they take a factory…! We're not gonna have any money! Because the jobs are all going. They convert the factories, like in New England. I Love New England. And I was up in New England a lot! During the…during the primaries. And I saw so many factories empty…some converted to senior citizen housing. [The] Problem is, we're not converting to jobs! We have to convert to jobs!
Utah, the same thing. We want jobs! We want manufacturing! We want it to be like it was. We've let all of that stuff gets sucked out of our system gets sucked out, and we don't have the jobs. And the jobs we do have aren't the good jobs. They're the bad jobs! And we're changing it.
We're going to have Apple…and you watch, because what they do is currency manipulation in China, and Vietnam…and lots of other places! We're going to have Apple, and many other countries, building their product in the United States! Not over there! Believe me! Believe me! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…true! …–THE CROWD STARTS CHANTING ‘U.S.A!’ REPEATEDLY.
So, here's what's going to happen: when you look at what's going on…I believe in free trade. You know, a lot of people say, “he's not conservative!”. And they're usually refer to free trade. I am conservative. I'm very conservative. But, I'm not conservative when it comes to stupidity! We have…–THE CROWD CHEERS–…we have…the…dumbest…probably the dumbest trade deals in the history of the world ever negotiated. We have rebuilt China…with trade. They have sucked money out of our country. And jobs! And the base! Manufacturing gone! Thousands and thousands of factories. Millions of people lost their jobs! I mean, the smaller instances, Carrier moving to Mexico recently. You saw that! They just announced we're moving to Mexico.
Now, the only way you can do it, and I have to tell you: a good student, the Wharton School, all that stuff…; you don't have to be good student. You don't have to go to college! And it's real easy to understand this. We can't allow our businesses to be stripped out of our country, right? We can't allow it to happen. We're gonna bring them bac. By the way, we're bringing them back. But we can't allow it to happen.
But what's happened is we've had bad leadership and we've had very bad negotiatorsm, and we've had a lot of political guys where they get money and they say, “let it go, let it go, let it go”. A lot of people say, “why did deals like that happen? How come that, when it comes to…like as an example, medical, drugs…why isn't there a big bidding procedure? We’re the largest buyer of drugs in the world. There's no real bidding! We lose fortunes with that! There's no real bidding!
They say, “why?”:
I say, “it’s because all the guys are getting taken care of with campaign contributions”. With me, folks? It goes to bidding…–THE CROWD BOOS––we’ll save…;
Same thing with the military! You gotta see the military procurement! The military bidding. The companies that get the jobs aren't the stuff with the best equipment! They're the ones with the best political context. It's gonna end! Because we're gonna build…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…we're gonna make our military bigger, better and stronger than ever before…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. Ever! Ever! Ever before!
And when…nobody is gonna mess around with us anymore, folks. Right now they're laughing. It's been so depleted. And it…we are depleted military! We have problems! We have generals leaving, and they give press conferences and announce how bad our military is.
Number one, I don't want generals giving press conferences. And number two, we're gonna make it strong because people are not viewing us the way they used to. Believes me, that I can tell you.
The other thing, importantly, we're going to take care of our vets! Our vets are being mistreated…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUSD. There was a story…well, there was a story coming in which is almost hard to believe, but there was a story coming…but not really! Cause when you see the stupid things that are going on…; where Hillary Clinton wants illegal immigrants to get Obamacare! Do you believe this!? …–THE CROWD BOOS. I mean, we're not taking care of our vets; our…our vets are waiting in line for six days to see a doctor, and dying while they're waiting, and we're giving illegal immigrants…people that aren't supposed to be here, Obamacare! [We] can't do it, folks. [We] Can't do it. We can't do it. We can't do it…–THE CROWD BOOS.
So, what's happen…–A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS I LOVE YOU DONALD! I love you too. Who is that guy back there? A…nice guy. No, we appreciate it. Look. Look. It's…folks, it's common sense. It's intelligence, and common sense, and heart. We gotta take care of our people! We've gotta take care of our people!
Let me just tell you. A few things. We're gonna get rid of Common Core. We're bringing education local, okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Number one, it'll be much better education. And number two, I mean, is there any doubt that local is gonna be much better? And it'll also be less expensive if you can't believe it! But we're bringing it to a local level, so that the people in the community can take care of their education.
We are ranked 30 out of 30 right now. The worst! And yet, we're number one in cost! We're gonna bring our education locally. We're not gonna rely on Washington DC bureaucrats to tell us how to educate kids in Salt Lake City. So, we're bringing our education…local! …–THE CROWD CHEERS. And it'll be great! A huge improvement.
Number two, we’re repealing and replacing Obamacare. It's a total disaster…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’s a total…disaster.
And number three, you know, if you look at it our Second Amendment is under siege. We are ggoing to be so strong with our Second Amendment. We're not letting…we're not letting our Second Amendment go. So, we're gonna be very, very strong. And that's another one. They're chipping, chipping, chipping. They're always chipping away. Now they're looking at bullets. Maybe we can't do the guns, we’ll do the bullets. [It’s] Not gonna happen, folks
You know…–THE CROWD CHEERS–…if in Paris they had bullets flying in the other direction, [it’s the] toughest gun laws in the world. If in Paris bullets were flying in the other direction, you wouldn't have had 130 people killed. You wouldn't have had…many, many people right now dying in hospitals from that attack.
You wouldn't had in…you know, it's not even Los Angeles. It's a very nice area, [a] very nice community in California. 14 people killed. Many people injured, by these two people radicalized people. They went in, they shot and killed…people that gave them a baby shower…just a little time before. And, you know what? There were no other guns. Nobody had guns except for the bad ones. They had guns. The bullets flew…they flew in one direction.
[If] You have somebody…it…if…if this man right there…–MR. TRUMP POINTS TO HIS RIGHT–…with that beautiful white hair…; if…almost anybody! That one, right there! If there were a couple of guns strapped into a hip or strapped around an ankle, and those bullets were going in the opposite direction? Believe me, it would not have been the carnage that you witnessed with either of these two places! So…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, we have to…we have to take care of our people. We have to protect our Second Amendment. Now, when it comes to…when it comes to trade, we're gonna start being smart! Because our country is poor! We are now…if you go to places like Dubai, and many, many places! China…! You look at the roads; you look at the railroad systems, where they have trains…they have the bullet trains that go hundreds of miles an hour; and you go back to New York and our places, they go ‘bop, bop’…they’re like from a hundred years ago! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS.
We have become a third…world…country, folks. And we're gonna change it. We're gonna knock the hell out of ISIS because we have to. We have to! …­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We have to. We have to. We have no choice.
You know, I didn't wanna go over to…Iraq. It was a mistake going over there. It was a big mistake. But now we're there, and we gotta get out, and we tried to get out, and Obama got out the wrong way. He announced the date he's leaving. How about that!? “We're leaving at a certain date!”. How about that!?
Number one, who would do that!? Can you imagine George Patton, General George Patton and MacArthur…in their graves, right now they're spinning! They’d never…; they would have knocked this thread out in one week or less! So, we don't…–THE CROWD CHEERS–…we don't do that.
So, here's the story. Here's the story. We're gonna knock it out, and we're gonna come home, and we're gonna rebuild our country the way it's supposed to be. We're gonna put people to work, and we're gonna take our jobs back, and we're gonna do so much! And we're gonna make America so great again! You know, there's a…sort of an expression that we had: the American dream. We talked about the American dream.
[Do you] Remember the American dream? Everybody…? Well, let me just tell you something. With all the rules, regulations…all the things that you people, right here, are complaining about and putting up with…! We're gonna get rid of…we're gonna bring it down to a modest level, and it's almost like let's go back 15 years. But we're gonna take the American dream and we're gonna make it great again. It's not great right now. We're gonna make…the American dream great.
You know, you can't have…a real American dream without education. So, that's what we were talking about. We're gonna bring education back to a high level. Right now it's Norway…; Sweden…; Denmark…; China…! All these places they're at the top. They don't spend anywhere near what we spend per pupil, but they're the top!
So, we're gonna come back, and we're gonna bring the American dream back. We need education to do that. Very, very hard to come up with the American dream without education, so we're gonna get it done.
And, here's the…here’s the thing. Look. When I hear a company like Carrier…is moving…to Mexico, and losing its entire group of people, there's only one thing we can do, folks. It’s you just say, “lots of luck. I hope you enjoy your stay. But, every time you make a new air conditioner in Mexico, or wherever you happen to be going…when that air-conditioning unit comes across the border…”, which now will be very strong, because you know why it's gonna be strong! We're gonna build a wall! Okay!? We're gonna build a wall! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And it'll be a real wall! And, by the way, it will be paid for by Mexico, and they understand that. We're not paying for it! …–THE CROWD CHEERS.
You know, they could stop most of this right now if they wanted to. They don't want to! Try going into Mexico! Try going there! You wouldn't be there for ten minutes before they throw you the hell out. And you know where they put you? Right here. They'll put you right here.
So, you probably saw, recently, on one of the network's, they had the former president, Vincente Fox on. And you saw it…–THE CROWD BOOS. And by the way, he used the f-bomb! If I ever used the f-bomb, it would be the electric chair, right? It would be…–THE CROWD MUTTERS. He used the f-bomb! And he said, “there's no way we are going to pay for the-you-know-what-wall!”, okay?
And then I said, “wow, we've made progress”. Because a year ago he was saying ‘there's no way we're gonna have the wall’. So, now he's accepting the walls gonna be built…–THE CROWD LAUGHS AND CHEERS.
But, these guys that I am against…these guys that I'm against…so, thank you! These guys that I'm against, you know, the final…three we call them, right? The guys…the guys that I'm now against, they asked me: “you can't get…”, and actually tell me, “you can't get Mexico to pay for the…!”.
Of course I can!
“How can you do that?”.
All you have to do is look at the trade deficit! We have a 58-billion-dollar trade deficit! The wall is gonna cost ten billion dollars! Is there anybody in this room that thinks we're not gonna get it? If I'm president, I guarantee you, they will pay, and they'll be very, very happy about it. Okay? They'll be very very happy about it.
So, it's not a question of free trading, honestly. It's not a question of free trading. Uh…free trading is wonderful. The problem with free trading [is] we need smart people on our side also, because so much blood has been drained…it's just been drained up! Even this area! It's been drained out of our country.
So, here's the story: we're gonna…negotiate great deals. We're gonna bring wealth back into our country. We're gonna save Social Security and Medicare. We're gonna save them. But we're gonna bring wealth back into our country again, because our country is a poor country. We have deficits like you wouldn't believe. For years, and years, and years, you can't go on! We're sitting on a bubble…like you've never seen! And I hope it doesn't explode when I'm president! If it's gonna explode let it be a couple of days early!
You know, I'll be in there for two weeks, [then] the bubble explodes, they'll say, “oh, it's Trump's fault·: No, I don't want that. We are sitting on a bubble and it's a very dangerous bubble right now. You take a look. With what they're doing with interest rates. We have free money. Everything else…; it's a very…; and what does free money mean? Free money means people that saved all their lives and thought they were gonna live off the interest they're getting. They're not getting any interest, folks. They're not getting any interest.
So, we're sitting on a big, fat, ugly bubble. At some point, unless we act quickly and smartly, it's gonna explode. You need the right people in there. You have the wrong people in there right now. And here's what we're gonna do. And you listen, because this is important:
On Tuesday you're gonna vote: And on Tuesday…–THE CROWD CHEERS–… you're gonna vote…hold…unless you wanna vote for somebody else, [then] don't vote. [Do] You know, [did] you ever see these…? …–THE CROWD BOOS–…no, no. Did you ever see these politicians, where they say, “on Tuesday you're gonna vote! And it makes no difference if you vote for me or anybody else, but it…!”.
Well, it…to me, it does. If you're gonna vote for somebody else don't vote, okay? Don’t vote…­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But, on Tuesday…on Tuesday, you're gonna vote. And, you're gonna remember in two years from now, and in four years, and in ten years, and in 20 years. You're gonna remember this evening. This beautiful evening. [It’s] Beautiful outside. Everyone's…just…I mean, there's a lot of love. There’s even some love for the protesters!
Do we have love for the protesters!? Meh…–THE CROWD BOOS. You know what, honestly? They're doing their thing, okay? They're doing that thing. Whatever…I don't quite get the thing, but whatever it is, they're doing.
But…but let me just tell you. I do have love for the protesters, and I have love for the people standing outside, the thousands of people that wanted to get in here. I love you people out there! I love you!
But…–THE CROWD CHEERS–…but you are going to…remember this night, and you're gonna remember Tuesday, more importantly. And you're gonna say…thank you! You're gonna say to yourself, in a couple of years, and in a long time from now…you're gonna say that was one of the most important votes they ever made, and was one of the great evenings of our lives. Because…–THE CROWD CHEERS. We are going to straighten out the country, rapidly. We're gonna take the country back. We're gonna straighten out the country. We have…a noisy majority.
You know, it used to…it could be called the silent majority? It's not silent. It’s noisy as hell! Because people are angry. And we're not angry people! I'm not an angry person! But we're angry about the incompetence with which our country is run! Is that a correct statement? …–THE CROWD CHEERS VIVIDLY. We're just angry, cause we love our country!
And you're gonna see things happen…quickly. You're gonna see on trade, we're gonna start winning again. We don't win anymore. You know, as a country, we…don't…win…any…more! We don't win! And you're gonna see a tremendous change. You're gonna see victory after victory, win after win.
You're gonna see wins on trade. You're gonna see wins with our…look, we have to help our soldiers! We have to help…we have to help our wounded warriors. We have to help our veterans…­THE CROWD CHEERS. And you're gonna see…you're gonna see big, fat, beautiful wins, for our veterans. We have to take care of our greatest people.
So, we're gonna see wins! We're gonna have wins on…on healthcare. We're gonna have great wins on healthcare! Right now, Obamacare, 45, 55 percent increases. The deductible is so high that you don't even get to use it unless you're close to death! It's no good! It doesn't work! It's so expensive, and it doesn't work! And it's gonna fall over its own volition, but it's gonna be terminated before that, okay?
But, you're gonna have…win on healthcare. You're gonna win at the border. You're gonna win with Common Core, getting rid of it. End it. Over…–The CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
You're gonna win with the Second Amendment. We're gonna win every single…I…you know, I joke when I say it, but sometimes it's fun to say it! You're gonna win, and win, and win! You're gonna win so much [that] you're gonna say, “Mr. president, you're driving us crazy with victories all the time! We don't wanna win anymore! Please!” …­THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And I'm gonna say, “no way! You're going to win! We're going to make America great again!”.
Thank you, folks! I love you! Thank you! Get out and vote, Utah! I love you! Thank you!
