Wow…this is something!
Wow!
This is a big, beautiful building! Wow! Unbelievable! Unbelievable! …-THE CROWD CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY.
Oh, boy, you better get out tomorrow! You gotta vote tomorrow! You gotta vote, vote, vote! …-THE CROWD CHANTS ‘BUILD THAT WALL!’. “Build that wall. We're gonna build that wall. Don't worry about it”. We're gonna build that wall. We're gonna build the wall…and who's gonna pay for that wall? …-THE CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’. Who!? …-THE CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’ AGAIN. Uh…they think we're kidding too. Don't they, folks? Huh! We're not kidding. We're not kidding. We're not gonna be the dummies any more, folks. We're gonna be the smart ones…-THE CROWD CHEERS. We're gonna be the smart ones.
So, I wanna thank you. It is a great…this is like a record-setting crowd I understand. They say the biggest they've ever had…the biggest they've ever had at doing this stuff! Is that incredible? …-THE CROWD CHEERS. Incredible. 10,000 people…in this beautiful arena. I wanna thank Michael and his wife. They own the place. They were so nice. They were so nice. But they've really done a good job. But I just wanna…tell you: setting records like this…? [It’s] so important. But tomorrow, you have to go out and vote…-THE CROWD CHEERS.
We have so…we have such momentum…with what happened in South Carolina, last week. What a great group of people…-THE CROWD CHEERS. What happened in New Hampshire, the week before, was so incredible…; and we're leading…and everybody's talking. I’m watching television tonight, and they're all saying, “Oh, Trump's gonna win tomorrow! Trump's gonna win…”; believe me, just assume we're gonna tie, okay? Don't ever assume you're gonna lose. We never…wanna even think about that. But, if you assume we're gonna tie…you're gonna go out and vote! You know, or as they were saying in the old-school, caucus. But forget the word caucus. Just go out and vote, okay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
SO, a lot of things have happened since JUNE 16th, when I…announced I was running. Who knew this was gonna happen? I figured maybe…we’d be in the middle of the pack by this time, but we were gonna edge it out at the end. You know, like a racehorse. We’d edge it out. We’d win in the end. But we have a big lead, and we don't wanna blow it. And…you know, frankly? We've gotta go all the way. We're gonna make America great again, folks. We’re gonna make America great again…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We're gonna make it better than ever before! You know the fact is….that…over the last…uh… six months, seven months, I've been going around. And every crowd it's like this. All the time. The people are amazing. The people are amazing! And I've been saying that, make America great again. Make it…it's gonna be better…than ever…before. Because our people…our people, in this country, are incredible.
Now, it started on June…16th, and I came down, [and] I talked about illegal immigration. In fact, we have Sheriff Joe. Where’s Sheriff Joe? I love Sheriff Joe! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I'll tell you what! There he is, right there! …-MR. TRUMP POINTS TO HIS LEFT. When Sheriff Joe…endorses Trump…that means there's nobody like Trump, on immigration. That we know. That we know! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Thank You, Sheriff Joe. Thank you.
And…so it started with that, and it started with trade. And I made a speech in Trump Tower. I took a deep breath because, you know, it takes guts to run for president, I wanna tell you. And I don't do! You know, I don't do this! Other guys have spent 148 million dollars…and I'm self-funding, by the way. I'm spending my own money. I don't need these people. I don't need their money! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [It’s] very important. I don't know if I get the credit for that! You know, to be honest, when you go into a booth and you vote, I don't know that I get the credit. But I will tell you, these people are all taken care of…by their donors, their special interests, and their lobbyists. A 100 percent. A 100 percent…-THE CROWD BOOS. Well, I used to be those people, just so you understand, you know…; …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Who knows the game, right? Who knows the game?
But I understand what it takes! So when somebody gives you five million, and they represent the pharmaceutical industry, and they come to you and you…; they need a favor. You know, you wanna be an honest guy, but you know, it's hard to say, like, ‘no’. You don't have to say it. But…believe me, they have you, 100 percent. And what's good for the country is not going to be…the thing…that's done.
When they come to see me, and they say, “you know, we need this and we need that”, I’ll say, “folks, I have no interest. I gotta do what's right for the country”. We're gonna straighten this thing out. We’re gonna straighten it out! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You know, I'll give you an example. [A] terrible thing happened. This week you saw [it]. Carrier, right? Carrier air conditioning…-THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. So, my son Eric is here with Don, [AND] they said, “you know, we ought to write a letter”. These are activists' sons! They're actually great sons! Where are they!? Where are they? These are great sons! There they are! …-MR.TRUMP POINTS TO HIS RIGHT. THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…they said, “you know, we ought to write a letter to Carrier”. And here's what happened…do people know what went on with Carrier last week? It's very sad. And there's nothing we're gonna do about it, unless we get very smart and tough!
You know, I went to the best school…and…you don't have to go to the best school. You don't have to go through high school to understand it. What they're doing is they announced 1,400 jobs…they just…fired everybody! And they said, “we're moving to Mexico”. And somebody took a cell phone…some…-THE CROWD BOOS-…well, how…a lot of people are moving to Mexico! It's become like…the new China! And they took a cell phone…they took a cell phone…1,400 people were devastated.
Now, they say they're gonna go to Mexico! So if I'm the president, here's what we do: we write them a little note. We congratulate them on the move. We hope it goes well. We hope they don't have too many cost overruns when they build their new beautiful building. And we tell them the following: we tell them that, “every time you make an air conditioning unit, and every time you send that unit into the United States, you're gonna pay a 35 percent tax”, okay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. 35 percent.
And…it's gonna be amazing how those numbers are gonna change, right? [It’s] Gonna be amazing. And I don't care. And…they're gonna call me…they won't even bother with the lobbyists, because the lobbyists won't have given me money. The special interest won't have given me money. Their donors won't have given me money. When I went to the last debate, you saw that mess! I didn't have anybody there! I had my son's, my wife…; I had a couple of people there. And the whole room was stacked with special interests, and donors…and [the] guys got up and spoke so badly, and the audience went crazy. And I looked and I knew half the people in the room! They're all special interest guys. One represented pharmaceuticals. You know, I mean, you…look. Look. We've gotta put…our country…back…together. It's a mess. It's a mess. We gotta do it…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, as an example, the drug companies. A doctor comes up to me, [a] very big doctor. He says to me, “you know, Donald, we're dying with Obamacare. It's a killer. It's no good. [It’s] not working. It's not working”. He tells me he has more…accountants than he has nurses. Not too good, right? …to hear that. But he said, “you know that they don't bid out drugs? We’re the largest…drug buyer in the world, the United States. And we don't bid them out!”.
I said, “well, I'm surprised to hear that, but not that surprised, because…the drug companies, and pharmaceutical companies are all making massive…campaign contributions to the people I'm running against!”. And to all the others. And I say, …-A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES IT. I…I will. But I won't use…-THE CROWD CHEERS-…but I won't use that expression, because I'll get in trouble with these people. They'll say, “do you know what he just said?”. It was so…! Right? So I won't say it. But we will do that. We will do exactly what you said.
So I said what happened…I said…yeah, that's okay, you can sit down. I said what happened…is that…they're all being taken care of! If we bit out pharmaceuticals…drugs and those things…we would save, each year, 300…billion…dollars. 300…billion…dollars…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. As a country!
Now, you have that with the military going on, because the military outfits that make the weapons, even if their weapons…-THERE IS A SUDDEN BUT DISTANT NOISE COMING FROM THE CROWD. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES IT-…what's wrong? [Do] you have a…? [Do] you have a little protester? …-THE CROWD MUTTERS. Get them the hell out! Get them out! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Oh, get him out! Where's the protester? Where is he? I don't even see him. I don't even see him. Look, I love protesters, cause the only way the cameras turn and show how big the audience is, is when there's a protester. Otherwise they never turn…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I love protesters! Don't worry, it's okay.
You know, for a long time I didn't know these guys…-MR. TRUMP POINTS TO THE CAMERAS. It was like solid. They always…they’re on my face. And you know the story, I've said it before. My wife…I go home, [and] I say, “how did I do? Did you see how big the crowd was?”. I've had 35,000 people…; 25,000…; 20…; we have the biggest crowds by far of anybody. Much bigger than Bernie, although I will say Bernie is second. He is second…-THE CROWD BOOS. But much bigger. But I think he's heading down. He's heading down! [It] Looks like Bernie's heading down. [It] looks like Hillary's gonna get a pass on or email scandal. But we will be bringing it up…-THE CROWD BOOS. We'll be bringing it up. It looks like we're gonna be running against Hillary, which is good. How the hell…how did she get a pass on that deal? How!? Right? It won't happen. It won’t happen. It won’t happen.
So with these cameras, so they never show the audience. So I said to my wife, “did you see the size of that audience today!? We had 25,000 people! Did you…?”.
“No, they just keep it on your face”.
And then I realized. They're instructed. [They] Never, ever show the audience. And the other night, recently, I had 12,000 people…-THE CROWD STARTS BOOING. APPARENTLY THE STAFF IS TAKING THE PROTESTER OUTSIDE. Yeah, go ahead! Go ahead! Go ahead! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND CHANTS ‘U.S.A!’ REPEATEDLY. I love it.
You know, the other night we had 12,000 people. Bernie had 3,000. I turn on the television, cause I do like watching myself to be totally honest…; okay…-THE CROWD LAUGHS.[MOU1]  But I turn on the television, and they're saying, “Bernie Sanders had a massive crowd of 3,000 people. Bah, bah, bah…”, you know, the taxes, everything…okay.
Then they go to Trump, “and Donald Trump spoke before a crowd today”…-MR. TRUMP SAYS IT IN A DULL VOICE. I had 12,000 people. He had three. So, he had a massive crowd at three. [And] Twelve, they don't mention. This is really bad. These are the most dishonest people I think I've ever dealt with. It’s true! It’s true! They’re bad people…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Bad…people! But we’ve learnt to live with it. Not all of them! They're not all bad. There's about…80 percent bad…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. 10 percent okay; five percent good; and…five percent very good, all right? That's not bad. That's not bad.
So, what I did on June 16th, we came out, we started talking about trade. How we're being ripped off with China. Ripped off with Japan. Ripped off with Mexico at the border and in trade. Ripped off by Vietnam, and by India, and by every country. Every…single…country…every…single…country…because they're all represented by these people that we think are representing us! That's why. When I say I'm self-funding, folks, it means much more than you think. It means much more. I'm telling you…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You know, if it's a tie, they should vote for me, it’s what I'm saying. And if it's like…somebody like…somebody 20 percent better…than me, and I don't know why that would be possible…-THE CROWD LAUGHS-…they should vote for me. Anything more than 20, [or] 25 percent, go with the other guy.
I will say this: look, these are the most dishonest people I've ever dealt with! Politicians! Now, I dealt with them all my life. So, I'm not surprised. It's not like I'm shaken up. But this guy, Cruz, lies more than any human being I've ever…-THE CROWD BOOS-…dealt with. Unbelievable! And he holds up the Bible, and he lies. And then he holds up the Bible again, and he lies. And…and…you know, it’s sort of cool, cause at the last debate, Rubio, nice guy…-THE CROWD BOOS. Nice guy! No, but he looked across, and he said, “you're a liar!”. And I've never heard a politician call another politician a liar! It was a thing of beauty! I've never heard it! …-THE CROWD CHEERS.
So, it then gave me cover. But he says so many things! You know, in the last election, in South Carolina, the morning of the election…the morning of the election…think of it. You think it's all done; and now you're gonna wait around; you're gonna have a nice, easy day; but tomorrow I'm going out to all the caucus sites, by the way. Just in case you…okay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS. I'll be in…I'll be in a lot of them. I'll be. And you’d better be there! If you're not there, I'm gonna be so angry…! …-THE CROWD CHEERS. I don't wanna…I don't wanna turn on the television and say, “you know, Trump has the biggest…crowds; the highest popularity…everybody loves the job he's gonna do; but his people were too damn lazy to go out and caucus”, all right? …-THE CROWD BOOS. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't make me have a miserable evening…-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
And that after this, you know what happen, right? After this, we have the whole SEC. We're gonna do so great. We have…-THE CROWD CHEERS-…Georgia, Tennessee…we have so many…so many great…; well, we have Texas. I think we're gonna do very well in Texas, I’ll tell you…-THE CROWD CHEERS. Because, you know, the evangelicals…were supposed to go with…Cruz. They were supposed to go with Cruz. But you know what, honestly? I won the evangelicals by a lot. You saw that, right? Actually, I won everything. I won…short people, tall people…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. [It’s] true! I won…fat people, skinny people! I won highly educated, okay educated, and practically not educated at all…-THE CROWD CHEERS. I love them all! I won the evangelicals big, and I won the military! The military I won big…-THE CROWD CHEERS. Big! I won the vets! The vet! Oh, those vets! I love those vets! …-THE CROWD CHEERS. We're gonna take care of those vets! We are gonna take care of our vets, right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS. These are the greatest people. I meet so many. The…the wounded warriors, I love these people. They have more courage, more guts…I hate to say it, that all of us put together. These are the most…-THE CROWD CHEERS-…these are the most courageous, most incredible people. And they always have a smile on their face when I meet them! And boy, oh boy, oh boy! They've taken some shots, and…they are…amazing people. We gotta take care of those people. Those people are great. We wouldn't be here…if it wasn't for those…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And we're gonna take care of them.
We're gonna straighten out that VA mess. We're gonna straighten out that corrupt…; how about this? 20…you…it…it's hard to even believe. It's not even like a believable number. 22 suicides a day. No, think of it! From the vets. 22 suicides. That's…unthinkable! It's unthinkable! Look at the signs. Oh, that's so incredible. Wow! That's so incredible! I didn't know this. That is…wow! That is incredible. Who would think this? Who would think it's possible? That is absolutely incredible. I didn't know you're gonna be doing that…-APPARENTLY SOMEBODY IN THE CROWD HAS DONE SOMETHING, YET OFF CAMERA. That is good.
So, we're gonna straighten…we're gonna straighten out the vets. So, vets…don't worry. We're coming. We're coming. We're gonna straighten out a lot of things. We're gonna straighten out…; we're gonna get rid of Common Core. You know, we're last…-THE CROWD CHEERS-…we're getting rid of Common Core. We're gonna make education local. Do you know, in the world, in the world…top 30, in the world. We’re number 30. That means we’re [at] the bottom of the list, but we’re number one in terms of course for pupil. By far! Number two doesn't even exist. Number two…is so far away it doesn't even exist. We’re number 30…and yet, we’re number one in the cost per pupil, right?
So let's look at my campaign. I spent…by far, the least…I spent a lot of money! But I spent by far the least amount of money, and I'm by far number one, okay? Ain’t that good? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Somebody else, I won't mention who, but they were nasty to me. They took 25 million in negative ads. Can you believe it? 25 million dollars! One guy. 25 million…! And then I'm supposed to say he's a nice person, right? …-THE CROWD MUTTERS. And they were phony ads! Well, I have one going on now. Cruz! He's got an add…! Something to do with [the idea that] I wanna take away your land. And I wanna keep it in the federal government, and…; I don't even know what the hell they're talking about! It's an ad! It's a Cruz’s ad! It’s a Cruz’s scam.
I'll tell you. So, the evangelicals didn't…vote for him, [do] you know why!? Because they don't like liars! They're really smart people! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They don't wanna vote for a liar! But it is true! I have an ad running right now, it's a Cruz ad. Something to do…with…and a couple of people tell me this, that…I am backing the federal government to keep the land that's currently owned by the federal government. And…we should give that land to everybody and divvy it up for something. [And] I'm saying to myself, “well, uh…it's not a subject I know anything about! It's a hell of an ad!”. But this is a Cruz’s ad. This guy is…sick! There's something wrong with this guy…-THE CROWD MUTTERS.
On…Saturday, when we had the vote, uh…I mean when we had the vote, in South Carolina, Saturday. I wake up, I figure there's gonna be a nice, easy day. So I get hit with…a call from my…management people, who, by the way did a fantastic job. Corey [Lewandowski], Hope [Hicks]…everybody. They're fantastic…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. And…I get hit early in the morning. Then somebody did a robocall, but Rubio...but Cruz denied it. I said, “wow, that's strange. Who would do a robocall…?”. On…this is the day of the election! You just sort of ‘don't do that stuff, you're not supposed to….’. But bad I didn't mind. But the robocall had to do with the Confederate flag. This was not a good robocall…to get at…eight o'clock in the morning. Then I had a second robocall…at twelve o'clock. And the…a total lie…the whole thing was I’ll just…tell you. I won't go into subject matter. A second robocall…on election day! And it said…and this one had to do with gay marriage. And this goes to everybody in…the area. This goes to everybody! South Carolina, incredible people. And I said, “man! If I get hit with two robocalls like that, how can I possibly win?”.
So I figured I was gonna…you know, how can you win? The people were so smart…! And I…I won in a landslide. Can you believe that!? We won in a landslide…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I was gonna tell you two other categories. I won with men, but that's not important to me. I won with women! That's very important…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [It’s] Very important! Daa…! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So, we're doing really well.
Uhm…so we're sending a letter…we’re sending a letter to Carrier, and in that letter we're going to say that…if I should win, we're gonna come after you for a lot of money every time you send an air conditioner.
We're sending a letter…to Ford. I've been talking about Ford now for…two years, right? Ford is building a two-and-a-half billion-dollar plant. I wish them a lot of luck. They're taking a lot of stuff out of Michigan and other places. Now, what's good…? Tell me, from our standpoint. You know, we have these really stupid trade deals…; every deal we make is stupid. Whether it's sergeant Bergdahl, where it's five for one. And five or six people got killed looking for him…-THE CROWD BOOS.
So we get a traitor, and they get five killers that they've coveted…for years! For nine years. We get one, they get five. Ours is no good, we could have him…let's send him back. Drop him! Right in the middle of the damn thing! Boom! Fly over…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Fly over! Fly over! Drop him! Maybe you give him a parachute, maybe you don't…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. I don’t know. [It] depends if we have an extra parachute. Probably…probably, we'd give him the parachute if we have an extra one. But it wouldn't help him.
He went out into that world. He didn't find it too comfortable, folks, you know? They slapped him around pretty good. He thought he was gonna go out, he'd be treated wonderfully…; I think they slapped him around pretty good. He came back, he…couldn't get back fast enough…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Five, maybe six. Probably six people…were killed looking for him. And we had a general and a colonel…that went to see his platoon, and went to see his group, and they all said he deserted. And we knew he deserted when we made the deal.
Now, why would you make a deal for a deserter, and give up five people…who they most want, that are out trying to kill everybody including us? Why would we give up…? Why would we give up…five…killers? Why? For one…dirty…rotten traitor. Because we have incompetent leadership. We have incompetent…       	leadership…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
If they didn't know, that would be terrible. But knowing, it makes it to me even worse. Is that a correct statement, Mr. Navy? Right? My man, over there. He’s shaking his head…; he's going ‘yes’. There's a guy…there's a guy…; I know my…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…I know my people! I know my people!
And we're not gonna make deals like that anymore. We're not making an Iran deal. Where we give them…150 billion…dollars, and we get nothing! We get nothing! …-THE CROWD BOOS. Think of it! Think of it! We go into the Iran deal…it started when? Years ago! How long have they been negotiating!? They called up one of the newspapers called up, “Mr. Trump, how long should that deal have taken?”.
“One day!”, I said.
They said, “well…”.
I said, “maybe one week”. Has that been years? Like three years? Three and a half years?
So, we should have demanded the prisoners back before we started [the] negotiation. Right? …-THE CROWD MUTTERS ‘YES’ AND APPLAUDS. And we would have gotten them! You ratchet up…you ratchet up, and you get up, and you'd say, “listen, we are gonna ratchet up those sanctions. We want our prisoners back”. [And then] You leave. You had to walk. They never work from that deal! We were ridiculed in that deal! And then even at the end, as bad as the deal was, the worst thing that ever happened to Israel…that I can tell you, that deal is a disaster…for Israel! The worst. The deal is no good! It's gonna lead to nuclear proliferation. They're gonna have nukes. They don't even have to develop. If they can buy them with 150 billion dollars, and have a lot of money left over!
And where are they spending 150? So they're not buying Boeing. They’re not buying Boeing. They just ordered 118 Airbus jets made in Europe. They ordered missiles…I didn't know they could buy missiles! They ordered missiles from Russia. And they're all over Europe spending that money. The United States gets nothing…-THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. And then two days before we sent most of the money, they attack us. And they put our ten sailors in a begging position, on their knees…with their hands up…-THE CROWD BOOS-…with a guy with a rough, rough mouth…a rough guy with a rough mouth…I’d like to smack the hell out of him…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And he's barking orders, like he's a big shot. And they have rifles at their heads. And this is our friends.
And Obama addresses their leader as the ‘supreme leader’…-THE CROWD BOOS. And he says, ‘the supreme leader’. And Obama refuses to issue the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism’. And when I call for a boycott, we're doing that out of intelligence! We're doing that because we wanna keep our country strong and safe, and we have…no...choice. Believe me…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. THEN STARTS CHANTING ‘U.S.A!’ REPEATEDLY.
So, we have…some amazing things going on in this country, but we're gonna make it so strong. We're gonna make it so strong. One of the things I most…look forward to doing is taking our military, and just…reworking it. Getting the equipment they want, not equipment that was gotten for political gain, by some guy…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…by some guy that has control…of a company that's good with the Senators. Some of whom I'm running against, okay? We are going to make it so strong. All right.
So here's what we do: we are going to now talk…for two seconds…about…Obamacare, because…-THE CROWD BOOS-…it is a subject…that's very close to my heart, and it's killing our country. It's going to fail of its own weight by 17. It's going to fail of its own weight. It's going down, folks. It's going down. It's gonna fail…like you've never seen. But, the Republicans, unless I'm there, will come and bail it out. Because they always bail it out. They bail it out with this horrible budget, from four weeks ago. Obamacare is gonna be repealed and replaced. Obamacare…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're gonna have a strong country again, and Obamacare has to go. We can't afford it, it's no good. You’re gonna end up with great health care, for a fraction of the price. And that's gonna take place immediately after we go in, okay? Immediately! Fast! Quick! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS, YET A MEMBER IN THE CROWD INTERVENES. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES IT. “What? Okay. It’s  not working for you, right? Not working. Okay. It’s…by the way…it’s not…it…it…does it work for anybody!? Let me ask you, does it work for anybody? …-THE CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’. Nobody! We get it changed…! We get it changed. We get it fixed. It'll be beautiful. It'll be beautiful. No, it doesn't. It doesn't….-THE CROWD STARTS CHANTING U.S.A! REPEATEDLY. APPARENTLY THERE IS A PROTESTER.
It's the wise guys. We got wise guys. You know, sometimes you'd like to sit down with a guy like that. If you talk to somebody like that for a couple of minutes, I really think…unless, you know, there's other motives, which there often are. But you talk to somebody like that for 15 minutes…; what do we all want? We want security. We want safety. We want a home. We want a great family. We want health care. We want good jobs, right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS. I mean, whether you're a Liberal, Democrat, a Conservative, Republican…; don’t we all sort of, if you think about it, we all sort of…want…; we want security! We want strong, strong security! Because our country now is…is in trouble!
Now, look!  When it comes…and when I first came down, I said ‘trade’, but I said the border. That border is gonna be so strong. And the Syrians cannot be allowed to come in, folks. We don't know who the hell they are…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We don't know who they are; there’s no paperwork; there’s no documentation…; do/[Have] you ever look[ed] at that migration?  You say, look at all the young men. Where are the women? Where are the children, right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
Take a look at what’s happening to Germany! It is a disaster, what’s happening to Germany. What’s happening to Sweden! What’s happening to Brussels! You just take a look! It’s not gonna happen to our…country. We're gonna make our country…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're gonna make our country stronger than ever before. If you look at our GDP, for the last quarter, we had no growth! We had no growth! We're losing jobs! We have a phony jobs number. They say it's down to five percent…? The real number is 25 percent! And if it wasn't, I wouldn't be having crowds like this at every stadium!
The real number…and that five percent number, is a number that was devised by politicians to look good. Believe me. That's just to look good. And the jobs they're talking about, and everybody admits it, these are bad jobs. These are crummy jobs. These aren't the jobs they want! And the part-time jobs are all over the place! People working part-time jobs…they never had a part-time job! So we're gonna take our jobs back from China and all of these other countries.
I have a friend. He's a great…contractor. And he's a great…merchandiser. And he cannot get his product…into China. No matter what he does, he can’t! They send their product…oh, bye, bye! …-MR. TRUMP GREETS A PROTESTER. Good job fellows…-THE CROWD BOOS. Bye-bye! Look, see? He's smiling! So he's having a good time. Oh, I love the old days! You know? You know what I hate? There's a guy, totally disruptive, throwing…punches. We're not allowed to punch back anymore. I love the old days. You know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this? They'd be carried out on a stretcher, folks…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, that's true.
You know, I love our police, and I really respect our police. And they're not getting enough…they're not, but…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Honestly, I hate to see that! Here's a guy,, throwing punches. Nasty as hell! Screaming at everything else, when we're talking…and he’s walking out, and we're not allowed…you know, the…guards are very gentle with him. He's walking out like his big high fives, smiling, laughing…I’d like to punch him in the face, I'll tell you…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You know, it…it brings up something. Two debates ago, they hit Ted Cruz with a question. And this guy's so overrated, [that] it's ridiculous. They hit him with a question. You know, I always say about Ted Cruz, he can debate but he can't talk. Does that make sense? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. But they hit him with a question on waterboarding. And they said, “what do you think of waterboarding? Is it good?”. And you know, he got really all…messed up. He couldn't answer the question. He was a mess. And…because he didn't wanna say waterboarding is a good thing.
And now, waterboarding is…nothing's pretty! But they're chopping off heads, right? They’re chopping off heads. They're drowning people in steel cages, leaving them…in the ocean for an hour, and then lifting them up, after…many, many people drown. But they're chopping off heads! And then saying to themselves, “can you believe how weak…how weak and pathetic the Americans are?”.
So, they're asking Ted Cruz, “what do you think of waterboarding?”.
“Well, uh…uh. What do I say…? I wanna…I don’t…oh…I wanna be politically correct. ‘Waterboarding…it's so terrible! Waterboarding is so…; even though they're chopping off heads, waterboarding is a…”. He couldn't answer the question. He was like a mess.
Then they said to me, “what do you think of waterboarding?”.
I said, “I think it's great, but I don't think we go far enough. And the whole place is…”…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’s true! It's true too! True, right!? …-THE CROWD CHANTS ‘U.S.A!’ REPEATEDLY. We don't go far enough! We…don't…go…far enough! …-THE CROWD CHEERS.
 And now the press will write tomorrow, “Trump is a mean guy”. I'm not a mean guy. I'm not a mean guy. I'm just a guy that doesn't wanna be pushed around by a bunch of animals. These are animals…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, there won't be any more Fords…going to Mexico. There won't be any more different trades going to Mexico. I don't need Nabisco any more, frankly. I don't eat Oreos anymore, which is a good thing not a bad thing…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. But when they announced they're moving their plant into Mexico, it's not going to happen. Okay? It’s not going to happen. Okay? It’s not going to happen. So, we're gonna be very smart.
Now, here's what happened. Carl Icahn, [a] great businessman, he endorsed me. Other great businessmen…they endorsed me. We have…some of the most important deals we are making now our trade deals. To me, security is the most important thing always, okay? Just so you know…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Just so you know.
CNN did a poll, and in the poll they said, Trump for security is the best. Trump for the military is the best. Trump for the economy is the best. And…I…I don't mean by…a little bit! I mean by so much [that] you wouldn't believe it! By 40 points! 50 points! I was in the 60 percentiles and said…that's where we had like 12 people! Trump for so many things! Trump the leadership is the best…! Trump...-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Trump at the border is the best! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. True! Trump…now, this probably had to do with Sheriff Joe, and all…but, Trump for the border is the best, and because I'm so good on the border…and believe me, we're gonna have people come in. They come in legally, and they're gonna go through a process. But legally, legally, legally! But we are gonna be really strong on the border. We're gonna have the strongest border anywhere. Nobody's gonna have a border like us, believe me…-THE CROWD CHEERS. Believe me.
And you know, I told cause I thought it was a little bit funny. You know, the Pope came out and he sort of said some…things, and…; this was the day of the election! The day…! The Pope! And they came to me, they said, “Mr. Trump, the Pope just made some statements about you”.
I said, “the Pope! What do I have to do with the Pope!?”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. I said, “don't tell me”. This is like 10 hours before the election! Right? South Carolina, the election, I have a question. The Pope is hitting me hard! And he said things about the border, and “you can't have a wall”.
And I said, “Wow! But I've seen the Vatican. That's the biggest strongest wall I've ever seen”, right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I've never seen a wall like that. In fact, I wanna use that as my model for the wall we wanna build! ….-THE CROWD LAUGHS. But anyway!
But, no, the Mexican officials, who are very smart…; don't forget, they're making a fortune with us. Trade deficit with Mexico, 58…billion…dollars a year. These politicians come up to me. They used to say, “you can't really build a wall! Can you!?”
And I say, “China, 13,000 miles. The Great China Wall”. The Wall of China, right? 13,000 miles long. It was built 2,000 years ago. “No , we can't build the wall…with Caterpillar tractors all over the way…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. So that's 13,000. We need 1,000. All right? And we're gonna make it higher. I wanna make it higher than the wall in China, so that we can say…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-… [it] won't be as wide, but it'll be higher, okay? That I can tell you.
So, we go on, and…and…let me just explain something. We're gonna have such…great…security. Such great security that we're gonna be the model for the world! We're gonna be a model for the rest of the world. We've gone…we've gone from being…; we have gone from being a laughing stock, we’ll go to the exact opposite.
One of the things that you see, and I say all the time. We don't win anymore. We don't beat ISIS. We're gonna knock the hell out of them, folks…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We don't win with health care, we're gonna have great health care. We don't win with education.
You know, I was gonna say on education, right? To have…to be ranked number 30th and to spend that kind of money is so…sad. [It] is so…sad. We're gonna balance our budgets relatively quickly. I don't wanna do it too quickly, but it can go very quickly. Some of the politicians said, “we think we can balance them over a 25-year period”. ? Over a 25-year period…-THE CROWD MUTTERS.
There was a man in baseball…did anyone ever hear of Charles Finley? Charles O…; George Steinbrenner was a great friend of mine. Charles Finley used to drive him crazy. He said, “Donald, this guy is so great…!”. He had no money, but he would have the best team! He had Catfish Hunter, he had Reggie Jackson…; he had the lowest…salary…in baseball by far! Right? For those…; and he won three World Series in a row. Then he take the players, Reggie Jackson, Catfish…and he trade them. That's what we wanna be! We don't wanna spend our money! We wanna be the best at everything without having, necessarily, to spend it! It's like I say, “to spend the least on a campaign and to be the best”. We wanna do that…for a country. And we're going to do that…for our country. We're going to…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS AND THEN CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY. I love these people. I love…I love these people!
So…so, the most important thing we can all do…we gotta do. I’m… I'm telling you. I'm gonna be at everyone…I'm gonna be all over the place tomorrow. The most important thing we can do, is…I'm not gonna use the word caucus. I'm gonna use the word just vote. Just vote, cause people say… excuse…I don't wanna give you an excuse. What the hell is caucus!? Nobody even knows what it means! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
We have a great…we have a great Republican Party…right here, in the state! Where is my Republican Party!? Where is…? Where are they? …-THE CROWD CHEERS. Where's my leader? Where is my leader!? And they're gonna be watching.
You know, it is Las Vegas, it's a little tricky. A little tricky…; I could tell you some pretty bad stories about what happened in Iowa, but I won't tell you about that, all right? This caucusing…;
So, we're gonna do…we're gonna go out tomorrow and we're gonna have a big victory, hopefully! I mean, frankly, if the people in this room went out and did it, we’d win practically with that amount of people. So…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…so we're gonna go out tomorrow, and we're gonna get it started.
You look at the cover of Time magazine. The cover of Time magazine from a couple of weeks ago, it talks about the movement. It's a picture of me, standing like this, with a massive audience; a picture of the back of my head, and I had my hair combed just perfectly…! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. You…it was so good! I don't know if they did a touch-up, but I liked it! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. And…but it was a picture of me speaking to a massive crowd of people. And they said, “there has never…been…a thing…like this…that's…ever…happened…in politics…in the history of this country”. Amazing! ….-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, you're gonna go out and vote. And here’s the story: we’re gonna start winning again. We’re gonna start feeling good about ourselves again. We’re gonna get rid of people that are incompetent. People that negotiated the Iran deal and don’t know what they’re doing. We’re gonna have the best people in the world negotiating our trade deals. We’re gonna break up the trade deals. We’re gonna make money instead of losing money with every country in the world.
We’re gonna bring jobs back to this country, where they belong. We’re gonna bring our jobs back. And remember, we’re gonna start winning again. We’re gonna win on trade. We're gonna win with the military. We're gonna win it every…single…level. We're gonna win. Win. Win. And I jokingly say…-THE CROWD CHEERS-…I jokingly say…that we're gonna win so much that maybe you're gonna say, “Mr. president we're getting so bored, and so tired of winning! Please, don't win anymore! We're just tired! Let's go back to the old way!”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
And I'll say, “there's no way! We're gonna make America great again! And we're gonna keep winning…! Winning…! Winning…!”…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And I love you! We're gonna win! Go out tomorrow and vote!
Thank you! I love you! I love you! Thank you! Thank you, everybody!
