How nice is that! What a nice woman. She just…just a great family. I…I never told this before. I figured I could do it a lot cheaper than paying off the mortgage. I found out the name of the bank. That was a mean banker, I wanna tell you…-THE CROWD MUTTERS. That was a mean…; And I called up, “we’re gonna take you through hell. We're gonna this, we're gonna that…”. I couldn't get the guy a cut, so I bought the mortgage. I said, [with] the hell with it” …-THE CROWD CHEERS.
I never told that story before. I thought I was gonna cost me a lot less money, but it was all right. This is a great woman. [She] passed away, but…uh…[she] passed away very happy. And…uh…it was…just nice! I haven't…been involved in that in a long time, but…I love to do things! I do a lot of that. And…uh…I don't like to talk about it. But…uh…it's good to do things like that, for people. It's nice. It’s nice. It makes you feel good.
So, I just wanna thank everybody. This is such…look at the…crowd, look at the people pouring…like pouring in. But…uh…it's just been an amazing experience. Being in South Carolina is…you know, I have so many friends. I've been here many times. I do like Myrtle Beach, by the way. Great place. Great place…-THE CROWD CHEERS. And even though Augusta is a little bit on the other side of things, it's not a bad place. We have to say it, right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS. Right? And…you have a big…a big event coming up there very soon. We always do. And I know you get a lot of…a lot of the…uh…a lot of the profits go right in your own pocket. So that's a good thing. But it's a…one of my favorite events. Of all events, of all sporting events, truly one of my favorite events.
So, it's an honor to be with you, folks. And…you know, we have such a big decision to make. Uh…and it's just so important. Saturday is going to be a really important day. As you know, we won New Hampshire big. That was a big one…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Uhm…and…and [we] just had an amazing time up there. We were expected to get 28, 29 percent. We ended up getting 36 percent in the polls. And it was…-THE CROWD CHEERS-…it was amazing. We won every single category. We won…rich. We won poor. We won middle. We won…heavy and thin. We won every…; I mean, we won women, we won men. We won…we…we won…highly educated, and…we won the people with high…high school, and people with less than high school…; and…we won with…every category! And it was an amazing…it was an amazing period of time. And they're great people. And…we have great people! It's just…incredible.
And I knew New Hampshire pretty well, and I know South Carolina pretty well. I mean, beyond the political stuff, cause I have so many friends…that live here. It's one of the beautiful places of the world. And…really very important politically, because I think if we can win on Saturday…you gotta vote on Saturday…! Oh, please! …-THE CROWD CHEERS. Please! Get out and vote!
You know, I kid! I kid! But perhaps I'm not kidding. I start off by saying…you know the story, right?
If you’re sick…if you're sick…; if the doctor tells you you're not gonna make it, you don’t have a chance…but you don't have a chance, but you can't get up. And your wife tells you…she doesn't like you anymore. She fell in love with another man…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. It doesn't matter. You gotta get out of bed, and you gotta vote! Right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You gotta vote! It’s true! No, you have to get out. You have to vote. Because [it’s] so important.
And…uh…you know, you can have a lot to do with. It's called ‘make America great again’. These politicians are not gonna do it…-THE CROWD CHEERS. The politicians are not gonna be able to do it. I know them! I know them. Uh…they get taken care of by the lobbyists. You saw that with the debate!
I walk onstage, I've got like this huge poll number. I walk on stage, everyone is very quiet, although my kids and my wife, they were…going crazy. But…you can't really…do…it's sort of wild. It was a wild…time.
And I love the debate. And we got…very good reviews on debate. But the room was stacked with special interests, and lobbyists…and all these guys that pay the candidates money. And every time certain of the candidates…in this case, it was Bush and Rubio. Every time they said something…it…-THE CROWD BOOS-…I agree! Well, it's not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen with them.
But…but, every time they said something, they got like applause. Bush made a statement, it was like this jumbled up statement, with all sorts of…I mean, it was ridiculous. And everyone said, “yeah, yeah, yeah”.
And I was the one…I gave to very highly conservative judges, really…and people go “well, you know, it's fine”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. But…I mean, that's to a certain extent the RNC fault. But they let the tickets get away. And I shouldn't have that! I mean, I shouldn't have a thing like that.
Now, you have to call them out. So, I called them out. I said, “you know, that's the lobbyists and the special interests in the audience…”. You had to see that audience! That was the richest audience I think I've ever seen! …-THE CROWD MUTTERS. The…the heads of the drug companies…; the heads of the electric companies…; the heads of every…special interest you can imagine…was in that room that night.
And…I'll tell you what. I'm honored to represent you, people. I'm self-funding. I’m putting up my own money…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. I’m honored. I’m honored. You know, uh…it’s time. Don't forget, I was…I was on the other side of the equation before June 16th.
On June 16th I came down the escalator. [A] Famous ride. I always say, “you've never seen much press”. You looked back and you saw that press, and I said, “man, that’s like the Academy Awards!”. The date, June 16th in Manhattan. At Trump Tower. And I said to my wife… “we…we have to do it”.
You know, I'm watching the Iran deal, where we're giving…you know, all this money away, right? A 150 billion dollars for nothing! A 150, think of it! We're giving away a hundred…and…fifty…billion…dollars, and we get…nothing! We get nothing.
And now, if you look, Iran is taking over Iraq on top of everything else. They're taking over Iraq. We should have never been there. Now, I should get something for vision, cause when I did it…when I said it, people disagreed with me. But I said…and I’m the most militaristic person in this room, believe me. Our military is gonna be so big, so strong, so powerful…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY-…[that] nobody's gonna mess with us. Nobody!
But we've been over there, folks, for 15 years. And we're…beyond zero, if you think. We are in worse shape now than we were 15 years ago. Right!? …-THE CROWD MUTTERS. If our politicians went to the beach and did nothing, we'd be in better shape!
Saddam Hussein…Saddam Hussein…no good guy. And all of them, no good! But they killed terrorists! Saddam…Hussein…killed terrorists. That's what he did. Now Iraq [is a] haven for terrorists. If you wanna go to go to Harvard…of terrorism, you go to Iraq, okay? And…you know, so it's a shame. And…after all of these years.
Now, with that being said, we're there. And we have ISIS. And we gotta do something about ISIS. Because these are people chopping off heads of Christians…; they're chopping off heads of anybody, frankly. And we gotta knock the hell out of them. We're gonna knock the hell out of them. We have to! We have to…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. We have to.
We shouldn’t have been there…and Obama shouldn't have gotten us out the way we got out. Okay? You don't tell people the date that we're leaving. Can you imagine General Patton…or General Douglas MacArthur…? George Patton…I mean, this guy was so tough…; See? He couldn't be a general today, because he was too nasty. And he wasn't politically correct. And…he would say things that people said, “well, that's not very nice”. And yet, his men, and women…but in those cases, it was men in all fairness, it was men. They didn’t have too many…women in those days in terms of the…infantry. But his people, his soldiers, they’d…they’d die for him! They would die for him! But they loved him! That’s what we need! That's what we need! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. That’s what we need!
I watched some of these guys being interviewed, they're retiring. They always go in the talk shows. I don't want my generals on talk shows. You know, they'll say things, and…we have to be…like…you know, a little bit secretive! A little bit something…! And they'll tell us about the military.
One of them said, general Odierno, a good guy. But he's retiring and he’s at one of the talk shows. A few months ago, and he’s talking about how weak our military is. I don't want a guy…even if it is! I know it is! It’s depleted! It’s depleted! But he said it's the weakest it's been…it’s the weakest it’s been since its inception! Now, I don't know! Does he mean from the beginning of the…!? It was an…unbelievable…statement! He said it’s the least prepared! Preparedness! I…I…honestly, even if it’s true, I don’t want people to think that! Does that make sense!? You know…-THE CROWD CHEERS. We wanna just sort of say, you know, “we're great, great, great”, and then at the end, we're gonna be great. But you gotta give me like a year or two to get there! We gotta be strong!
But I don’t want people saying it's weak. I don't want them! They have no right to say that! Even if it's true! I mean, it's true! You don't have to talk! You don’t have to say anything wrong, but you don't have to talk! And these generals, they talk!
One of them was on one of the shows, a very big general, and he…it’s…he was talking about ISIS. He's just telling, “oh, it’s very tough”.
“Well, how can we defeat them quickly?”.
“Oh, I don't know…”.
I mean, if I'm ISIS and I watch this guy, I'm saying, “man! This is like great! This is great!”. We're not the same country anymore! We don't win anymore! We're gonna start winning so much…; We…I am so sick and tired of this…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I mean, I see it so much! I see it so much! And…and…I don’t wanna use the military. Remember this! I'm the one that was…the one person that didn't wanna go in.
We…are…going to be respected again. We're not respected. Our leader is not respected. Our leader is nor respected. Obama is not respected…-THE CROWD APPLAUDS.[paa1] 
Hillary Clinton is a joke! If she gets in, she's like a joke! …-THE CROWD BOOS. You know, I turned on last night. I'm sure you saw it. I'm watching television and I see her barking like a dog, right? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. No. she’s barking like a dog! And everyone said, “oh, wasn’t that wonderful? Wasn't that wonderful? Isn’t that cute? Isn’t that great?”. If I ever did that…I’d be ridiculed all over the place! I won't do it. I'm not gonna imitate her…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. But she's barking like a dog, and they’re saying, wonderful. Trump does it…believe me, you'd read about it, “what's wrong with Trump?”. So, there’ll be no barking. But…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. But we're gonna be respected again. We have to be respected again. And…every…single…country…in the world is taking advantage of us. Every…country…that we do business with. Our trade is a disaster. We're gonna lose five…hundred…billion…dollars with China this year. On trade deficits. Think of it. Think of it. We can’t do it! You’re right…-MR. TRUMP POINTS AT A MEMBER IN THE CROWD. We can’t do it! We can’t do it! We can't continue…;
Japan, with their cars…! They send them in like they're candy! Like they're candy! I go to Los Angeles, I see some of the boats, the biggest ships I've ever seen! The cars are pouring off like at 40 miles an hour, just wah, wah…! Boom, next boat! I mean, what are we doing!? What are we doing!?
You know, we defend…Japan. We defend…Germany. A lot of people don't know. Does anybody know we defend Germany? Do people know that? …-THE CROWD MUTTERS. Most people don't even know it! We defend Germany. It's a behemoth! Meaning…an economic behemoth. Of course, if Angela Merkel keeps allowing the migrants in, it’s not gonna be a behemoth. That's gonna end in a civil war. What she's doing is insane, by the way. It's insane. What she's doing…;
I have a friend…German, very proud of being German. And he said he's moving out of the country, okay? Can you believe this? She…I don't know what…what happened with her! You know, I’d build…what you do [is], you build a safe zone in Syria. You have the Gulf states, who are putting up no money…you have the Gulf states put up the money. Because we're not putting up the money! We owe 19 trillion dollars! I'm not a politician. You know, I like this…to be careful with the money. We're not…putting up the money.
They are…they have tremendous amounts of money. You know, Saudi Arabia, before the oil crashed, was making a billion dollars a day. [It’s] Hard to believe! I mean, money like nobody's ever seen before. Funds like nobody's ever seen before. They were making a billion dollars a day. We defend them. They pay us peanuts! We have military bases, [and] we have to pay rent! We pay rent! And we defend them! And I have great friends, and they are Saudis. They’re great. Wonderful! Everything’s fine! But why!? I even say, “why aren't you paying us for this!?”. So, we defend them.
When somebody comes around, and…and…watch…watch Iran. So, they're taking over Yemen. They don't want Yemen. But what's on the other side of that long, long border? Saudi Arabia. They wanna go into Saudi Arabia! They want the oil! I know what's gonna happen. Not if…I’m the head, it’s not gonna happen. But that's okay. But I know what's gonna happen! But they gotta…they gotta pay for us! We can't do this anymore!
We protect Germany. Germany, who doesn't have a BMW? They have BMWs. They’ve Mercedes. But you look at…you look at what's going on in the car business, and you see what's happening…! You see, our business is moving to Mexico! You see, other people are moving into Mexico. Mexico is gonna become the next China on a smaller level. But you take a look at Germany and you say, “why are we defending them?”. Now, it's wonderful defending…but they gotta pay us something!
Now, you look at our budget. You know, a lot of people say…that, “oh, we have this big military budget”. Well, we do. We have a massive, much bigger than anybody else's, but much of it is to protect other countries.
So, we defend Japan. So, here's the deal with Japan. If we're attacked…we're attacked…for some reason…oh boy, would they be crazy!? If I'm president, would somebody be crazy to attack!? Oh…! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Oh, those poor people! Oh…! Anybody…we don't need Japan to help us, believe me. We wouldn't need Japan to help us. Now, if Obama's president…and we get attacked…-THE CROWD BOOS. I feel sorry for you, okay?
But…so, with Japan, if we get attacked, Japan doesn't have to do anything, right? If Japan gets attacked, we have to go and defend totally. Probably World War three. Okay? Japan gets into a war with China. We have to defend Japan, okay? But [if] we get into war with somebody, they don't have to do anything. [It’s] not exactly the kind of deal that I'm used to. Right? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. We're gonna change things around! We're gonna change things around.
I'll give you another example: South Korea. So, we have a border, we have 28,000 troops. I wouldn't want to be a troop on that border, with his maniac on the other side. 28,000 troops on the border, right? He's got nuclear, and…all of this. [Did] you ever notice? The Iran deal is horrible, and they don't have nuclear. They will soon, based on that. They’ll just buy it. They don't have to…do anything. They can buy it. They have so much money now.
But…uh…and…but we're gonna do something about that. But remember this: so, we have a border…and…you have this maniac in North Korea…and we defend! And you know what we get? Every time I order thousands of television sets. And air-conditioners, and all the stuff. It comes out of…South Korea. They're…an economic…monster! They’re…they make a fortune! Right? They make all the stuff! We used to make the televisions! Remember Sylvania, RCA…? We used to make this stuff! We don't make it anymore! We don't make anything anymore! We're gonna start making things now! We're gonna start making! We don’t make anything in here! It’s been taken away! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But…we defend South Korea! So, every time he raises his head…he says, “we're gonna this, we're gonna that…”. He starts throwing out…rockets up in the air. Half of the time it doesn’t get off the ground, but when it does everyone gets crazy…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. And I said to myself, we send our ships. We start sending ships. Everything else…; it costs you one million bucks just to start one of those aircraft carriers up like boom 1 million, aircraft carriers up, like boom: one million, right?
We get nothing! What do we get? We get nothing! We…will…-A MEMBER IN THE CROWD INTERRUPTS MR. TRUMP-… “he says…; what? I didn't hear it. It’s great”. See? I'm not allowed to say that, because if I say that, it becomes a front picture story. So, I refuse to say it. But…but…we are…and I’ll…think of it! We…spend…money to defend the world…and we owe 19 trillion dollars. And then we have our Republicans, who I’m more upset with than the Democrats, cause the Democrats…we know where they're coming from! The Republicans approved a budget, four weeks ago that gave Obama every single thing he wanted! …-THE CROWD BOOS. Right? That’s a…that’s a…who’s that booer over there? That's a good…; boy, you got a good voice! [It] sounds like Pavarotti! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. And I always say Obama is a lousy negotiator, but he's a great negotiator against the Republicans. And we're Republican, so we're gonna change all that around.
Look: trade! Trade…; we…are…losing a fortune, we're gonna have the losing a fortune, we're gonna have the losing a fortune. We're gonna…have the best people. Carl Icahn, one of the great businessmen of the world. We have the best…people! We have the best business people of the world. We have the best…negotiators of…; we don’t use them! We use political hacks…to make deals with China.
China, from the time they're three years old, if they see somebody's a genius, boom, boom, boom. It's like the pyramid thing where…they just go up, up, up! And by time they get to the top, we’re negotiating with the toughest, smartest…people you’ve ever seen. And we have guys that don't even know what they're doing! Diplomats…! We have Carolyn Kennedy in Japan. Caroline Kennedy, she's not trained for this! Carolyn Kennedy…! So…and I always say she's a nice person. Who cares!? You know why she's nice? Cause my daughter likes her, Ivanka. So, it’s…if my daughter likes her…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. But she's not negotiating for me, that I can tell you. She's negotiating with the Japanese for cars! She didn't even want the job!
She goes into the White House, on 60 minutes. You have to see it! She goes, “yes, I'd love a job”. Because they said, “how did you get this job?”. They did a profile of her!
She said, “well, I went to the White House, and I said I'd like a job”.
“What would you like to do?”.
“Oh, anything!”.
They said, “Would you like to be the ambassador to Japan”.
She goes, “really!?” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
“Yeah, I'd like that”.
“You got it. Good luck”.
Can you believe it? Now we have a new…that's how we pick our negotiators. And the Ambassador to Japan has a lot to do! And then the rest of 60 Minutes were showing the…them wining and dining her. By the time they finish with her, they'll have an agreement…they’re gonna have an even better agreement than they have already…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
The thing that people don't know…is what we have all the cards. Because…we are the pot of gold and they're draining us. We're not gonna have the cards much longer. We are the pot of gold. We have rebuilt China. What China has done to us…in terms of taking our jobs, taking our base, taking our money, our manufacturing…; China has done one of the greatest…bank thefts in the history of the world. It's like bank theft! It's like a theft! One of the greatest…one of the greatest thefts in world history has been what China has done to this country!
Now, I love China! I love the Chinese people! I sell them condominiums. The biggest bank in the world is from…China, and…it's a tenant of mine in Manhattan! I mean, it's fine! I don’t…object to China…! I object to our leaders being stupid people! Okay? They’re stupid people! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
It’s like…Mexico…is…what's happening with Mexico…is incredible. Because…so many businesses, I don't know if you saw what Carrier air-conditioners…; I bought…buy a lot of air…air-conditioners. I'm gonna start buying Trane. I'm gonna buy Trane from now on. Carrier air-conditioners ended up closing up. They're closing up and they're moving to Mexico. A 14 to 17 hundred jobs…-THE CROWD BOOS. So, you don’t buy Carrier anymore. But here’s…here’s what we have to do. [Are] You ready folks? I…-A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES IT-…1400 jobs, right? 1400 jobs, that’s right. That guy…he's got a good voice too. Let's see you guys battle. Let's have a contest. Good voice! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUSD. 14…1400 jobs…1400 jobs…; and…here’s what you have to do. Okay. I'm a free trader. I want free trade. I love free trade. I love it coming…you know, everything. But if you look at China, they sell to us…no tax. [But if] We sell to them, you can't get into the place, okay? You can't get in.
Boeing…! Remember this, we're talking about South Carolina, who I…which I love. You have a big Boeing plant, and it's doing good, and everything's nice…be careful…because China, in order to get an order…of planes, China is making Boeing build this massive plant in China. And all of a sudden, you'll come up…it won't happen of a sudden if I'm president, by the way. All of a sudden you come up [and] say, you know, Boeing wants to move all of their production to China. And they're gonna be closing up…and this is the way it works, folks! When you're sitting there saying, “oh, that couldn't happen”. It can happen really easily! Because they devalue their currency...! They are the greatest money manipulators ever! They monetary manipulate, and they…they are…what they're doing is…genius! They're world-class chess players with…devaluation. And our country doesn't even know what to do.
And the TPP, which is a horrible trade deal that Obama is pushing…along with some conservative Republicans! Okay!? …-THE CROWD BOOS. And the reason it's horrible…the reason it's horrible is because they don't even talk about the evaluations. They don't even talk about monetary manipulation! And that's where they beat us! That's how are they beat us more than any other place! We make better products than they do. They beat us with monetary manipulation.
And I'll tell you, one of great achievements for me is going to be when Apple…starts…in particular…cause they make everything! I mean, you look at what they're doing…; you go to China, [and] you see some of these factories that are 2 miles long…; when Apple…starts building their thing  in this country. That's gonna be a big, big sign. A big, big sign…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But…but you better watch out, because Boeing, you know, you feel good about Boeing. All of a sudden, you're gonna find that. That Boeing is gonna close up over here. They're gonna build more over there. They're gonna make their planes in China. And it’s “bye, bye to South Carolina…!”. And…that's not gonna be good. Not gonna happen…with me. It’s gonna with any of these other politicians because two things: number one, they're totally controlled by the people that give them the money. Number two, they have no understanding about business. They don't know…anything about corporate inversion, they don't know what's going on.
You know, we have corporations that are leaving the United States now. Nobody even talks about it. It's…to me, one of the problems we have. Outside of nuclear. Outside of ISIS. Outside of that, cause me, that’s always gonna be number one. Boom, boom! That's always gotta be number one. It's gotta always be number one. All right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
But…but…and I think that's one the reasons I'm doing so well, everybody agrees I'll be by far on…on the border. Nobody…in fact…-THE CROWD CHEERS-…you know, I got endorsed by Sarah Palin! And I got endorsed by Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Now, you know Sheriff…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…now…he’s a wild one. One thing you know about Sheriff Joe. If he endorses you, you are the strongest on the border. Do we agree with that? It’s what……-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
No, we're gonna create…we're gonna create real…borders. And we're going to build a wall, right? We're gonna build the wall…-THE CROWD CHEERS. And it’ll a real wall. It'll be higher than that ceiling. This is gonna be a wall…; this is gonna be a wall that when you get up there, you're not coming down very easily, I’ll tell you…-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
Did you ever see that? And I talked about it all the time. The ramp, where they build a ramp over the little wall they have now. They have a little wall. They built a ramp. They have a truck. An SUV, going over. Loaded up with drugs. Over it, down…under. They sell the drugs in the United States. So, we get the drugs, they get the cash and it just keeps going on and on…; now, this is gonna be the real deal, folks. We’re gonna have a real, strong…border. And people…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And people…and people can come in, but can't come in legally. They have to go through a legal process. They've gotta come in legally. They have to come in legally. Or we don't have a country! Or we don’t have a country.
So, we're gonna do a lot of things. And…we're gonna do a lot of things to make us…great again! I mean, great again! We’re like a mess! We…we don't know what we're doing! Think of it! Bad on healthcare. Bad on Common Core. How about your kids are being educated from Washington by bureaucrats that don't even give a damn! They don’t even give a damn! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Your kids are being educated…by bureaucrats! Now, some are good and some are…you know, I'm sure. Maybe. But, they’re more interested in how much do they get. Common Core is over. You’re gonna end Common Core. Education…!
I'll give…I'll give you an example. Education, we're ranked number 30th in the world. We're number one in the world in cost per student by…so…we're so far ahead of number, that number two doesn't even exist. So, you have Sweden, Norway, Denmark, China…; these are like the top…four…; these are…you know, they do a great job, all right? You have the United States at number 30, but number one…per pupil…in cost. Common Core is out! All right? Common Core…is out…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We’re gonna bring education local.
And I've seen it! I've seen parents, they're so in love. Even when their sons and daughters graduate from School, they stay! Because they love…! You know, they're in love with the whole process! It means…their…their kids are gone, but it almost made it more romantic for them. They do such an amazing job…! So that’s a…;
[The] Second Amendment…is going to be…so…we are saving…it is under…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…just so you know, the Second Amendment is under siege. The Second Amendment is under siege by so many different people…; and, you know, you look at the Democrats, I'll tell you what. You at Hillary Clinton, I don't know. Again, is she gonna get it!? But, if she gets it…it’s like let’s not have…; she doesn't wanna have a Second Amendment in my opinion, if you look. Michael Bloomberg may run. He's…worse than she is! I hope…! By the way, I hope Michael runs, because…-A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES IT-… “yes? Oh, good. Okay. He's on my side. I thought he was a protester…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. That's okay. Thank you! …-SOME MEMBERS IN THE CROWD KEEP YELLING-…oh, okay. Well, okay. Keep…; okay. Thank you, sir. Thank you.
So, I'll tell you what. So…Second Amendment, it's under siege. Totally under siege. And we're going to save…the Second Amendment. And I'll tell you what: people wanna destroy it. They're taking pieces out. Obama just did the executive order. Chunk after chunk after chunk. We're gonna save the Second Amendment.
Now, if we had people…in California, where you have the two radicalized, young…couple [that] they talked about. Young…couple. They got married. People…they were…they’re terrorists. Radical…Islamic…terrorism. Whether you like it or not, a huge problem…for the world! Not just for us! And nobody wants to talk about it! I'm the only one that's willing to talk about it. And you know what? Now everyone else is talking it too! And did I take heat, ay! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And did I take heat!? I took a lot of heat. But, you know what? We have to do something. And I said, we have to have a temporary moratorium. We have to find out what's going on here.
You know, we have people flying planes into the World Trade Center. We have people shooting for no reason. Look, we have to find out…what's…going…on. And we will! We've gotta find out. But if you're not willing to talk about the subject…? If not willing, like our president, to even refer to it…? Or use the name…? You're never, ever, going to solve the problem. And it’s a massive problem! It’s a massive problem! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, when I came on June 16th, I walked…I came down the escalator, with Melania, my wife. And…it was…uh…incredible Milani. And during the…except…you know, during the…uh…the speech! When I went and said, “I'm running for president!”, which takes courage, let me tell you. It takes courage! Especially if you're not a politician. You know, these politicians, they run. That’s all they do. They run, they run, they...they take money, they run more…; they lose…; how about some of these guys? They lose! They have zero…! Zero…! And they keep running! I say, “why are you running!? Why don’t you just stop!?”. They keep running! There’s gotta be some game that we all don't…know…about. But they run.
So now we're down to six or seven people. And it's getting good. And we love it. You know what we had? 17! We originally had 17 people. And…slowly…I love it. One, after another, after another…; they’re gone…-THE CROWD CHEERS.
And…I talked about…illegal…immigration. And did I…you talk about heat? That was heat times ten! Rush Limbaugh said, “I've never seen any…human…being…receive…so much incoming!”, meaning…from those people. It was unbelievable.
But…but…!  After two or three weeks of…like going into a…cocoons…you know, cocoons, uh…people started saying, “you know, Trump is right!”. And then you had…horrible things happen. You have Kate, in San Francisco. Beautiful Kate, shot in the back, by an illegal immigrant. You had numbers come out that were horrible…what it's doing to the economy.
You had other things happen. You had Jameel. A young man, 17 years old, shot! In the face! By an illegal immigrant. This is a guy that…should have never been allowed in the country. [They] shot him for sport! This…unbelievable guy, who I'm…I’m friendly with his father. His father…is like this great guy. Uh…and…and…his father is…you know, his life can never be the same, folks. You know they say ‘time’?
He told me the other day, “no, time makes it worse, not better”. Uh…it'll never get better. Here’s a young, incredible kid, who was going to go to…a good football player, [he] was gonna go maybe to Stanford…on a scholarship…and you know, the whole thing is just so sad! Shot in the face.
You had the…the…veteran. The…female. The…marine. And the…the…uh…veteran, in Los Angeles. [She] was…raped, sodomized and killed. 65 five-year-old woman. Raped, sodomized and killed, by an illegal immigrant. And so much more!
And people started saying, “you know, Trump is right! He's really right! We got a problem! And it's not…and…and, remember. I say it…and I'll say all the time: we want people to come in legally. But we've gotta vet these people! Look…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…we gotta vet these…people! I mean, we've people where we draw from lotteries! Lotteries!  Why!? Who the hell wants lotteries!? I don’t want lotteries! We want great people coming into this country! We have to have great, great people coming into this country! It has to be like…an honor! And it has to be an honor for them! You don’t want them to come in because they just happened to be there.
So, we're gonna stop…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…we're gonna stop, and we're gonna get smart! And we're gonna have people come in. But we're gonna have people come in through a process that's gonna be a fair and equitable process!
And the bad ones…we have some people in this country…; we have…as of…last week, it was reported: 179000 illegal immigrants…who are criminals! Okay!? Think of it! Think of it! We have a hundred…think of that, what that means! This was as of last week. 179000…; a hundred…-THERE IS A SUDDEN NOISE IN THE ROOM, SEEMINGLY A PROTESTER.
All right, thank you. Who is that person that stood? That was so great! Who's the person that did that!? Stand…put up your hand!  Put up your hand, I wanna…come on! Bring that person up here! I love that! Come on up here! Come here! Come here! [It was] So amazing! Oh, that’s class…-THE CROWD BOOS ALL OF A SUDDEN. THE PROTESTER IS ON CAMERA, TAKEN OUT AND FLIPPING OFF THE CROWD. Ain’t that terrible? See? That’s what we’re all fighting for, that. Isn’t that terrible? And you know what? The press will put that out…look! See the cameras? Now [they] are moving, cause that's the only way they have to see the crowd…-THE CROWD CHEERS. Isn't that…isn't that terrible? Uh…and…to me…now, they won't say that. If I say, “oh, hell…”. They say, “oh, Trump used a horrible word!”. That person does that with their hands, and fingers, and they won’t report that. It’s disgusting. It’s disgusting. It is so disgusting. And I’ll tell you what. The press should be ashamed…they should be ashamed of themselves…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY-…I wanna see…; no, they should be ashamed of themselves. It’s disgraceful.
Who’s the person, though? Raise your hand! Who is the person that took action over there? Well, come here. Come here. Come! I love these guys. I love these guys…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I love these people! Come here! Come here! Come here! Get over here! Look at this guy! Come here! Come on up! Bring him up here! That’s right! Bring him up! I want him up here! .-…-THE CROW CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Come here! Bring him up too.
Come here! Say a thing! Come here!
THERE ARE TWO MEN NOW ON STAGE FROM THE CROWD. THEY BOTH INTERVENE.
MR. TRUMP INTERRUPTS AT 00.33.48:
 [Do] you wanna say something? Come on, say something. Go ahead. He’s a great public speaker, this guy.

THE SECOND MAN INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.34.58:
Great! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
I…I mean, that’s so cool! But…think of it! I see this guy…nasty language! Really horrible language, which won’t be reported by these guys. Really horrible, horrible language. For what? You know, when you think of it, we’re all after the same thing, right? Whether you're Democrat; whether you’re Liberal; Republican…; Conservative…; whatever you are! We want safety. We want a good military. We want our vets taken care of. We want borders. We want education…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We want homes. We wanna be able to eat, and live. And have a nice life!
I mean, where…you…you think I could talk to somebody like that ten minutes, but a lot of them don't wanna listen to it. You know, a lot of them had bad thoughts beyond. I'm telling you. There's something going on.
But you hear the filthy mouth…! And then, all of a sudden, I see a fist starting to fight. I saw like about of them. And a rough cookie. This was not an easy guy. I…looked at him and I said, “that's a rough cookie”. The other guy. And then he puts his fingers in the air, you know. He wouldn't do it in front of those guys, let me tell you. But I love it.
I love people with courage. I mean, courage…. Sometimes you’ll go, and we'll go, and…and…stuff like that will go on a whole…entire time. Uh…but I just respect those two guys a lot. So I wanna thank you, fellas. [It was] Amazing. Really amazing…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Really amazing. That's what we need. And…we really…we need it.
So, you look at what's happening with our country, where we’re being beaten so badly, and trade is so important! Now, military is…to me, look, it all goes this way: when I came down, it was about trade, it was about the borders, and I did…very well. And I've been sort of number one I think almost from the beginning, right?
They all say, “he'll never run. His life is too good. Why would he do that!?”. Sometimes I ask myself that question, actually…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. But…and then they said, “well, okay. He just announced he's running”. Then, they said, “he'll never sign Form A”, right? Remember? I signed…that’s where you sign your life away. Then they said, “he'll never put in his financials, cause maybe he's not as successful as everyone thinks”. [It] turned out I am much more successful! I built an unbelievable company. Very low debt…; I filed almost a hundred pages of financial documents, like this incredible company. And…uhg! The press was down there. They've gone over…every inch of it. They've misrepresented as much as they could, but they can't, basically. It's an unbelievable company!
That's the kind of thinking we need! We have 19…trillion…dollars! We need somebody that knows how to deal! We need somebody that can get Carl Icahn…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We need somebody that can get the great…; we have the greatest business people in the world! We're gonna use them! We need somebody that can do…; we can turn this thing around so fast…! We're gonna turn around…; you’re gonna be so proud of it…; you're gonna be so proud of it and of it!
And then you see people like the two guys that just came up here. I mean, you know, to me…it's such an honor! And we've so many people! We have so many great people in this country! But they're not allowed…; you take a look at small business…; I have a friend, he's a small businessman. There's no way he can ever make it! Because of regulations. He's got regulations over regulations over regulations…that are put in there…; he’s a farmer! He can’t…; if a puddle develops, in the middle of his area, they consider it a lake…for environmental purposes. He can't…; he has to walk around…; the whole thing is crazy! He's showing me things…; we’re gonna get rid of regulations. We’re gonna go back to be…a real…country…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We make deals with China…environmental deals. You know, we have a president that talks about the ozone. And he talks about…all of the different things, right? All of...all of the different…; and then he flies to Hawaii to play golf in a 747, with a four monster-engines. Think of it. And they’re old engines too! They spew plenty. And he flies back, a…few weeks later. It’s a long round of golf. He’s played…he plays more golf than people on the PGA Tour! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. It’s true!
So…you know, one thing I’ll say about that. You know, if you become president, and you go to the White House…why would you want to leave the White House!? I mean…first of all, you gotta work. You know, when he signs his executive orders, that's because he couldn't even get the Democrats together. He couldn't get anyone together. You know, Ronald Reagan got together with Tip O'Neill and they got things done, right? The way it's supposed to be. You know, and there can be compromised…you can't be just like…; like, you know this guy, Ted Cruz. He stands from the tenth…-THE CROWD BOOS. He’s…; did you see the…uh…senator from Oklahoma? Uh…[he] just came out with a statement. One of the most incredible statements. Here’s a guy…he came out…it’s so…with such an unbelievably statement that Ted Cruz is the most dishonest person…in the Senate.  You know, I mean, like the most incredible statement. He's a Republican…that just came out!
And what I'm telling you is true! I've never seen a human being lie so much. He lies about everything. He'll take your record…like I talk to you about Obamacare. He’ll say, “Trump…loves Obamacare”. [He] loves Obamacare. How do you fight that? [The] guy says, “he loves Obamacare”. I hate Obamacare! It's gonna be terminated. I just told you that I’d terminate! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, no…! But I…I tell it everywhere! I am the strongest…I am the strongest of the Second Amendment!
He said, “Donald Trump wants to destroy the Second Amendment”. I'm the strongest! I'm in the NRA. My sons are in the NRA. I'm…I'm gonna be…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. First day in office, I'm terminating Obama's…new executive order. Well…you know, another one…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…having to do…with the Second Amendment.
So, he’s a liar. So at least I have…you know, the…the presence to be able to call out. You know, someone…and I hate to say it about a person! But, actually, during the debate, Rubio called him a liar. So, I felt a lot better…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Don't forget! Here's the guy...Dr. Ben Carson is a good guy. Here's a guy…that the…election, during the caucus…in Iowa, he went out, and he told everybody…what did he say? He said, “Carson's out! He’s out. Vote for us! Carson's quitted. He just left! He's not in the election anymore!”. Caucus for...him. Okay? And so, he got thousands of votes…because of that. Thousands and thousands of votes! How dishonest is that!?
He did a vio…it's called ‘voter…violation…form’. It says that if you don't vote for him, essentially, if you don't vote for him, you got a problem! It looks like it came from the IRS. It looks like a government document! I'll tell you one thing I learned: these politicians are dishonest, people! Wow! ...-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They are really, really dishonest people. They are really, really dishonest people.
So, I think he's gonna go down. I think a guy…a guy can't be…I'm a Christian. But you know, and I…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Protestant. But you know, Ted holds up the Bible, and then he lies about so many things! And I mean, these are lies! These aren't like, “oh, maybe he is…”. What he did to Carson was a total lie. He said he didn’t know about it, but then he apologized. How about this!? He apologized…like an hour after the election! Oh, wonderful! Wonderful. The election’s over, and he said the guy was out.
So, we have to be smart. [It’s] so important! We're gonna make America great again. We're gonna make, maybe, America greater than ever before. But…! And I don't want your money. I want your vote. I don't want your money. I don't any money. I don’t need your money…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I don’t need your money.
And I wanna take care of our vets! You have a big vet area here. We're gonna take care of them to a  level…! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY-…to a level! These are our greatest people! We wouldn't be here…if it weren't for the vets.
And speaking of the vets, do I love our police!? Do I love our police!? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. Our police…our police…are…not…being…treated…with the proper…respect. Believe me. Believe me…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So, we love our police and we have to cherish and protect our police too. And every once in a while, somebody's gonna make a mistake, or somebody's gonna be a bad apple. Unfortunately, they play that on the news forever. And they don't play the…the…you know, a 100 percent, practically, good things are done by the police.
But we have so much support from the police. And, you know, again, without the police, we're not standing here like this. And…things aren't the same, believe me. So, we have to pay a lot of homage to the police…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…the election’s coming up, and…you're gonna have a big part. New Hampshire was unbelievable. New Hampshire gave me…a number that was…greater than the polls! We were at the…like…30. And you know, this is 30 against many people. So, 30 percent against many people. I get a kick where they talk about, “if the…establishment ever got together…and they put their numbers together…they'd be the same as Trump, and maybe they could defeat him!”.
I said, wait a minute. If these guys quit…in other words, if they put all their numbers into one, right? I say, “folks, these people…I mean, these are the basic…like…they're not smart people”. The press. I'm telling you! 20 percent are good. 25 percent, they’re okay. Some of them are the worst you've ever seen, and the most dishonest. I think Karl Rove is the most dishonest human beings, I’ll tell you. One of the most dishonest human beings…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
First of all, he’s a total bushy. He's a total bushy. He's a guy [that] spends millions and millions on campaigns and loses almost all of them. But I think some of the guys, George Will, Karl Rove…; Uh…there are…there are some guys that…Krauthammer is a disaster! Krauthammer is a disaster! This guy…I mean, when I won New Hampshire, like a landslide, Krauthammer said, “uh…well, it was alright. He…he didn’t do that great”. I mean, this guy…is a disaster! But think of those three…; there are some others, I won't even mention their names. There’s a couple that are even worse than them. But they're really dishonest people!
But let me tell you something. They say… “if…that one got out, and that one got…and if they all abandoned together in one, they could, maybe, defeat Trump!”.
Then I said to them, “wait a minute, folks. If they've got 5 percent, 4 percent, 3 percent, 2 percent...and they get out, I'm gonna get some of those votes”.
And the guy goes, “oh, I never thought of that!” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. Right? It's like…it's like, [if] they get out, yeah, they're gonna vote for me! Some of them would vote, mostly, for me! They said…they added them up! “A 100 percent here, a 100 percent, a 100 percent…;
Here’s the story: I'm gonna do a great job for you. I'm…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…I’m working for you. I’m working for you. I’m working for you. Again! I'm not taking any of their money. They came in…a man came in to my office, he offered me millions of dollars. A lobbyist type. And he offered me millions of dollars: “Don…”. You know, when you're number one…I've been number one almost since I announced, okay? Cause I did a great job! I built a great company! I’ve employed thousands of people! I've employed tens of thousands of people over the years! And…like…places like Mexico! I have so many Hispanics working for me! I think I'm gonna win the Hispanics! I think I'm gonna win places like Michigan…that aren't even in play for the Republicans! [paa2] You know, the Republicans, it's very hard to win. Because, structurally, you have…you're at a big disadvantage. You have a lot of disadvantages! I'm gonna bring states into play and win them easily…that aren't even in play! Polls are coming out saying I beat Hillary so many…; I mean, I beat Hillary! And I haven't even started on her yet! I haven’t even started…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
I mean, this guy, Cruz, comes out, “Well, I don't think he's gonna win…”. This guy is so strident and so nasty…[that] he's gonna lose every…single…state!
Then Bush, poor Bush. He comes out…-THE CROWD LAUGHS He goes, “well, I don't think that Donald Trump can beat Hillary Clinton. But I can”.
I say, “well, why aren't you beating me!? Why are you beating me!?” …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You know, I mean, the guy gets up and they just say things. Uh…he said…uh…the other day, it was sort of incredible.
So, they…the numbers just came out in New Hampshire. So, I got a tremendous…I got a tremendous victory. I won every single group! Every single group! So, I was a 36 percent. I think he was…what? At three or four percent. He spent…listen to this…44 million dollars…in the state of New Hampshire! I spent three…and much of that money I get back, because it's for airplanes that I own. So, I have - to pay myself back! Okay? No, can you believe it!? ...-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, Bush spent 44 or 45…million dollars in New Hampshire, right? I spent three. And I won in a landslide against everybody. So, I have 36. He has like four, or five, six…whatever. You know, something that was so low that I didn't even wanna go…that far down in the charts. And by the way, the only reason I mention him? [It] Is because he spent 22 million dollars on negative ads on me. Even now, I come here, I see this negative ad! Something…about…ice melting! He said all sorts of things. They're wrong! They're just wrong! But…it's…[do] you know the one I’m talking about? It’s a very dark ad. Ice is melting…it’s all wrong stuff! I mean, it's all wrong stuff! So anyway!
So, here's what we have to do: Saturday is so important. We’re gonna beat Hillary…-THE CROWD CHEERS. We're gonna beat Hillary. We're gonna beat Hillary, just like I'm beating all these guys. You have some big polls coming out…; actually, a…great poll came out today! A very good…PPP, Public Policy poll. It came out today. It has us very high. 36…35…36…everyone else is way down. But, just assume that we're…even. Assume that we’re behind…! Because you gotta go and vote! You gotta go and vote! Assume that we're behind.
Some big polls are coming out today and tomorrow, but don’t…don’t even look at them! Just assume that they're terrible, cause if they're terrible, you're gonna go vote more so.
I give you my word. Look: we…are going to do such a great job. You're gonna be so proud of this country. You're gonna be so proud of your president. You're gonna be proud of your president. Cause…I don’t need this. I don’t need this…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
Like you, folks! I mean, you don't have to be here. And…I don't need it. I don't need it. But…it's just that…I love the country. It's been so good to me. And, you know, honestly? It's been so good, and it's got so much potential…! If I didn't think it had the potential it had…; if I didn't it could be saved…I'd feel terribly, but I wouldn't be doing it! I wouldn’t do it! Because I'd say, “well, wait a minute. Maybe it…”.
We can do something so spectacular…! We have to let this country…really go! We have to get these rules, regulations…; stuff that was put in for other reasons! Stuff that was put in for the wrong reasons!
Our banks aren't loaning anybody money! We have Dodd-frank, and it makes it impossible for a head of a bank to loan any money! The regulators are running the banks! We've gotta unleash. And we've gotta take back our deals. We've gotta take back our people. We've gotta bring back our jobs to this country. We're gonna bring them back to this country! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…I…I only say this: I love you, people. We wanna win. We're gonna win so big…! And I just want you on Saturday. [It’s] such a big day…! You gotta go out; you gotta vote…; and I guarantee you that this is the beginning. You’re gonna remember this day, and you’re gonna say to yourselves, “I remember that day. Two years ago…! Four years ago…! Ten years ago…!”. It's gonna get older and older…! And you're gonna say, “this was one of the great days of my life. Because this was the beginning…of Making…America…great…again!”.
