Wow!

Wow!

Amazing!

Amazing!

THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
Oh, that is amazing! I wish…! I only wish the press was honest, and they'd show you. They won't. You know that. They're not gonna show. Among the most dishonest people you'll ever meet. Bad people. Bad people: Why don't you show the crowd folks? …–MR. TRUMP POINTS TO THE CAMERAS. Why don't you show it? Go ahead! Show the crowd! Show the crowd …–CROWD CHEERS. Go ahead! See those cameras? They’re not moving. We're gonna work on them a little later. Really dishonest people. And I tell it! Every night…my wife…I come home, I'll have crowds like this; she'll say, “were there many people there?” …–CROWD LAUGHS–…because these guys keep the camera right on my face…as small as they can…and they never like to show. They're dishonest people, folks…–CROWD BOOS. And I mean…I mean…bad!
 
So, I'll tell you who wasn't dishonest, though. I don't know if you've read it. And we have to do this, because one of the really great stories, and true…! …Time Magazine, this week. Time. And what they're talking about, it's not just me, it's you. It's a movement that's going on. We have a movement going on. This isn't like a normal situation. These other guys come up…the other candidates! The other candidates…come up, and they'll have like fifty-nine people. They'll have a hundred and four people. Jeb Bush spent 69 million…! …he's nowhere! He's got nothing! …–CROWD LAUGHS. We should give that money to the veterans, and to the wounded warriors! That's what should go …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But they really captured it on the cover. And this writer…is a fantastic writer, really captured it in the cover of Time; and…I'll tell you what, I thank Time, because frankly, I've been at Time so much; I'm on the cover all the time! But this one I liked! This one I liked! There you go folks, enjoy it…–MR. TRUMP THROWS THE TIME MAGAZINE COPY AND THE CROWD CHEERS. Good catch! Good catch!
 
So…we don't win anymore! You understand that. We don't win anymore. We're a country that…doesn't win! And we're gonna start winning…you have no idea how we're gonna win. But we're a country…when was the last time…you saw something…we beat China in trade! We beat Japan at…something…? …like trade…? …with all those cars pouring in. And we get them…you know what we give them? Like…nothing! When was the last time you saw us beat Mexico, or anybody, at the border? We don't have borders anymore! You know, when you don't have borders, you don't have a country…–CROWD CHEERS. You don't have a country.
 
And how about today…? …did you see that performance? Did you see what they did to us, Iran? …the way they…took us, and made us…–CROWD BOOS. And except for the fact that they get like over the next couple of days, a hundred…and fifty…billion…dollars…! …we paid them…we're giving them a hundred and fifty billion dollars…and I guarantee you, and they desperately need it, so we're paying a terrorist State. If it weren't for that, you wouldn't have these guys back! You wouldn't have had this…ten group of…nine men, and a woman…wonderful people! I mean, I didn't love the way he talked; I wouldn't have made me use the word ‘Sir’; but it's tough! You know, you're in a bad situation. But…the way that looked…with the guns to the heads; they're down on the floor with their hands up…and then you listen to Kerry! Wasn't it wonderful what Iran did? They're waiting for the check! These people are just…I’ve never seen anything like it! We…have…grossly…incompetent…leadership, and we're gonna end it! We're gonna end it! We’re ending it! …–CROWD CHEERS. So sad! So sad!
 
Now you take a look at Iran. So it starts…when…!? It started…uh…forever! …that…I've never seen the deal takes so long! One of the worst deals I've ever see. So…they still have our four hostages, you know that. I call them hostages, they're not prisoners. Because now I understand they wanna start negotiating for these four. But they said, “not four, we're only gonna go 3”. Because a writer for, actually, the Washington Post, who should not be there, and I'm no fan of the Washington Post, I wanna tell you…but he should not be there! …he just was convicted of some nonsense; and they put him in. So they said, “we're gonna negotiate for three, not four”. They…want…so much…! They said, “we want a lot!”. Now, why didn't we get it? We didn't get it because…Kerry shouldn't be in the position he's in. Shouldn't be in the position he’s in…–CROWD CHEERS. And…and…by the way, this isn’t like…you know, like…maybe…? All you do, three years ago, whenever the hell does…the longest negotiation! A lot of times…we all read The Art of the Deal, right? …–CROWD CHEERS. Almost everybody, right? Kerry did not read The Art of the Deal, I’ll tell you; and Obama definitely did not read The Art of the Deal. Except when it came time to buy his house; no, he read it when he bought his house, in Chicago; but that's a very deep story; you'll figure that out.
 
But…when you look at what happened, they got…every…single…thing. The Persians are great negotiators. They say, “we want this”.

Kerry said, “no, no, you can't have that”.

“But we want it!”.

“Okay, you have it” …–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
We never walked…we never walked…at home, in Iran, they were celebrating the deal during the deal…if anybody ever did what they did to us…; they're screaming, and saying, essentially, that our people are incompetent; they don't know what the hell they're doing; “we're making a great deal”; they're dancing in the streets, right? They're dancing in the street…before the deal is made!
 
So now we have to give them…like almost immediately…a hundred and fifty billion dollars…–CROWD BOOS. Here's what should have happened. If we had a real president, and not the president that made a speech last night, where everybody fell asleep…; and what he said…hey look, look…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So sad! …–MR. TRUMP TURNS AROUND AND WAVES AT THE PEOPLE BEHIND. THE CROWD CHEERS LOUDER. You know, he's trying to justify the economy. Let me tell you. First of all, it’s the slowest recovery in our history. Slowest. And it's not a recovery…by the way, you look at what's going on; take a look at what's happening on Wall Street! You know, the only flicker, and this was largely because of outside sources, and a bubble…! …and the bubble! …it's a big, fat bubble, folks…watch! But the only flicker they had is Wall Street. And a lot of it was going up. They're not making any money…it’s going up. They have some of these internet companies, they don't make anything and their stock keeps going up. Watch! We had a bubble last time…? Watch this one .This is gonna be a beauty.

So what happens….and what Obama was saying…President Obama, because we have to treat him with respect, right? Yes?…–CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’ AND BOOS. So what President Obama was saying last night about the economy…? So the median income…the median income…was…higher…ten years ago; I mean, literally higher! …when he took office. And even beyond. Higher when he took office…than it is…now; okay? And I'll tell you something: there's a lot of problems out there. If there weren't…if we were doing well, I wouldn't have 15, or 20,000 people…we had to send…we sent 5,000 people away! Who I have to come back and do another one…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, we have to! I have to! No, we sent 5,000 people away!
 
So…just think of this. So you have…a president…he’s African American…good! I love that! Except…less has been done for African Americans than anybody! They're having…one of the worst times they've ever had! African American youth…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. See!?  Oh…I…you're gonna love me! You're gonna love me! Thank you, man! I think that's great! Is that great!? Huh!? …–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEONE FAR IN THE STANS APPARENDTLY. THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS Is that great!? He's just become a star! He's the big star! Now, you're really gonna be…thank you, man! That's cool! That's very cool! And by the way, I didn't put him there! And I'm not paying him! And I never saw him before! Here's another guy! …–MR. TRUMP POINTS TO THE FRONT. Hey, yeah, right here! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Thank you. That’s so nice! So great!
 
So you know, they had one of the polls come out, speaking of…African Americans; they had one of the polls come out; and it said that ‘Trump’, because you know as Republicans or whatever five, six seven percent, African American vote. And one of these polls came out, the pollster said, “there's something wrong. Trump has 25 percent”. It was the highest number ever in the history of the pollsters! It was 25 percent. And the MC…the person in charge of the show said, “wait a minute. If Trump gets 25 percent of the African American vote, the election’s over, we might as well not even have it!”, okay? …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And I'll tell you something, and it's coming out now; CNBC, a lot of them are coming out. They say that if I run against Hillary, she can have a little problem here, folks, I don't know; you know, she could have…she could have a problem. But if I run against Hillary, they're saying it's going to be…the largest…voter…turnout in the history of the United States, which I agree, right!? I agree! …–CROWD CHEERS. The largest in the history, which is a great thing!
 
Now, look at the debates. FOX had 24 million. The biggest ever in cable. And I don't mean debates! I mean…shows! The biggest ever in cable! 24 million. A few weeks later, CNN…another group that doesn't move the camera by the way…–CROWD LAUGHS. CNN…–CROWD BOOS. MR. TRUMP BOOS ALONG–…boo, boo…! So sad! I mean, it's…uh…here we are we filled this incredible arena! It's an arena! And…and they won't…they won't even show! People…I'm telling you! They don't show it! They don't show it!
 
I remember…let…I…you…I have to say it! Two weeks ago…I had a place where I had…nine thousand, ten thousand people. They didn't mention that. A week later Bernie Sanders had three thousand people…who is second! By the way, he's second, but a deep second! Okay? Way, way behind. He had three thousand, and the announcer goes, “the crowd was massive!”; three thousand! I had so many times…it was like…! It's so unfair! Okay!? It's so unfair…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. True! True! True!
 
You know, it's sort of funny. I…I…should…I tell you a quick New York Times story? You wanna hear it? …–CROWD YELLS ‘YES!’. So…you’re talking about…I get so…oh, oh, they kill me. They write…the worst stuff, and just…; So I…I look, cause friends of mine made a lot of money on the New York Times, and they sold…think of this: for 700…the…the…I mean…the whole thing is…in fact, I'll go over something first. They bought…a building. It used to…and it was bought many, many years ago. It's like a Cathedral, okay? They sold it…to a friend of mine. And they sold it for like…a hundred and twenty five million dollars! Like a very…he flipped it, for five hundred and twenty five million. They buy the Boston Globe, okay? Good newspaper. They treat me nice, I'll tell you, The Boston Globe has been treating me great! It’s unlucky The Times as an owner…cause we're doing great in New Hampshire; and we’re doing great in Massachusetts. You know, Brady loves ‘Trump’. I love Tom Brady; Tom Brady said some great things about me. He said, “Trump's a winner. Trump's my friend”; and it's amazing what that did to Massachusetts poll! Like 52 percent; I mean it…Tom Brady's a great guy.
 
So listen to this: The Boston Globe, they bought it for 1.4 billion, they sold it for seventy million dollars, for loss of almost their entire investment; and then, they tell you what to do. Why? They do an editorial, and they say, “do this, do that”; why? The Boston Globe, take a look at it. So they're real estate. They sold it like for a hundred and fifty million dollars in New York. A friend of mine bought it! He sold it not a long time later for over five hundred million! I think five hundred and twenty-five million. So he made this massive profit in a short time…and they're failing! So many are failing. The bad ones are failing. You know, it's interesting, the good ones aren't really failing; the bad ones are failing. But The New York Times they treat me very, very badly; very badly! And I always tell the story! They buy a building, and they do this and that; they lose so much money! A billion four…! And they get like seventy-five, and I think the 75 was fictitious.
 
So we have to remember: very dishonest people; and just remember how really bad they are at real life, okay? Just remember that, folks. You know? They’re bad! They’re so bad! Okay …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So with the Iran deal, what you do is the following: you go and… “thank you! I'll be present” …–AFTER MEMBER IN THE CROWD HAS YELLED ‘MR. TRUMP PRESIDENT’; man you know, we're gonna give it a hell of a shot! I'll tell you that! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Look! I mean, look! Look!
 
So whenever this deal started, nobody knows, they don't wanna talk about it, cuz it took so long: Somebody called up one of the papers, “how long should that have deal taken?”; “maybe…a day?”, they asked me, my opinion; “maybe a day”.

They said, “what do you mean a day?”.

I said, “could take a day, but give it a week”.
 
This thing's been under negotiation for years! Right!? Years! So with the deal, what you do is you have the right president; the right messenger; you go in, with one of my guys…that are killers. You know, Carl Icahn endorsed me; a lot of the big businessmen, they all wanna come. We're gonna take back our horrible trade deals…with China! …with Japan! …with Vietnam! …with Mexico! …with all of them! …with all of them! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We got the greatest business people in the world, right here. And I'll tell you: I know…I know the good ones, the bad ones, the average ones, the ones that people think a good that are no good. We are going to have a whole different…; you know who gets that job? Political hacks. Political hacks! Third-rate people, know nothing…and they're dealing against these guys from China…; and I love China! They pay me millions of dollars all the time for apartments; I have the largest bank in the world as my tenants; nothing wrong; but they're too smart for our leadership. And we have the…greatest deal…and they’re dying…they don't want money! They don't want salaries! They wanna show everybody how good they are! And some are not nice people, do we care!? Do we care!? So we're gonna get the greatest people in the world. We're gonna renegotiate those trade deals.
 
So…! …little thing. We go three years ago and you say…to the Persians, you say to Iran, you say to that negotiators, “gotta have our prisoners back. We gotta have them back now, before we start”; and this is like more than three years ago! And you just walk in…and you say, “gotta have our prisoners back”.
 
They're gonna say, “no”.

“Gotta have them back. You don't need them. Good for us! You don't need them. Good for us”. And then we go…what do we do? “bye-bye!”, right!? …–CROWD LAUGHS. We go, “bye! See you! Have a good time!” …–CROWD LAUGHS. Good for us, good for the deal, frankly! Because our people are angry, and they are angry…! One of the commentators said to me that…Nikki Haley…Nikki Haley, a very nice woman; she said I'm an angry person! And they said to me, “they said you were an angry person”. I thought. I said, “I am!”. I'm very angry, because I hate what's happening to our country! I am angry! Very angry! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.

Now, that place……–CROWD CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY. No, it's true. It took place on CNN today. “Are you an angry person!?”. And I was supposed to say, “no, I'm really very happy. I'm thrilled! I'm thrilled that we're giving Iran 150 billion. Wonderful deal. I'm thrilled”. So I said to myself, “well, wait a minute, that’s not…I don't…let me give them a different…”. So I was just…she said…very nice, very nice, “are you an angry person?”. I said, “yeah, I'm…never…I don't think of it that way, but I'm really angry because we're being led by very stupid people that don't know what they're doing! Stupid people!” …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So with…the Iran deal; just as an example of one of many. And…I…all of…our deals are that way. But you walk in…you say, “we want our prisoners back”.
They say, “no”.

You say, “we want them back”.

“No”.

“Good for the deal”.

“No”.

They'll still say “no”. They’re gonna say “no”, a hundred percent. We're gonna walk out, “bye-bye”; we walk. Now you double up and triple up the sanctions. Within 48 hours they will call you and say, “you have your prisoners”! Now, I don't tell you the second part of the equation, cause I don't wanna mention it with the prisoners, cause you can't pull them both off. So now you go in and again; now we have our prisoners. You wait a little…in the air, flying over our territory…; now you go in again: “Hi, folks! Good morning! Everything good!? Listen: we're a debtor nation…; we own 19 trillion dollars…”; it’s gonna be 21 with the stupid budget deal they just made. This budget there was the words! They call it ‘the Omnibus’. ‘The Omnibus’. This budget deal is so great. Okay. It’s gonna be 21…million…dollars, right?
 
So we go in, and we say, “phase two”. We got the prisoners; they’re home; they're happy; they're with their wives; the one is…here because he's a pastor! He's a minister. He's Christian! He's there because he's a Christian…! …in the worst jail in all of the Middle East, they said! And that could be pretty bad, right? And I met his wife; she's so nice, and she…she doesn't understand why didn't he come back with this deal. We're giving them all this money; we're giving them all this access to…weaponry; we're gonna have nuclear weapons; they don't have to develop them! They can buy them; they've got so much money now! They’re not gonna develop them, they're gonna buy them!
 
So now you go back for seconds, right? You say, “by the way, thank you for the prisoners. Listen, one other thing minor subject: we're not giving you back any money. We don't have the money”. You know what you do? And all you just say, “we don't have the money. We don't have it”. You simply say, “we don't have it! We wanna have it. We wanna give it to you…”; you know, cuz that's…that's called ‘taking the lumps out’, right? You know, you wanna be nice, you don't want to be too aggressive. They just gave your prisoners, so…so, “I…I’d love to give it to you, we don't have it! We're a debtor nation. We owe…we owe 19…trillion…dollars! We can't give you the 115; we can't give you 10 cents; we don't have it!”. It'll take a little while for them to recover from that…–CROWD LAUGHS. And then they'll probably come back. But if they don't, who the hell cares, okay!? You know? Who the hell cares!? …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They'll probably come back.
 
So then…then…you look at what happened today. Two…little boats…going around…they get caught, and you watch…the poor guy, the head guy…you know, apologizing, and…it’s very sad. I'm sure Kerry apologize too, by the way. I'm…I’m sure. Or begged! Probably begged. Cause it makes us look so bad. So he probably begged, “please, please! Let them go! Please! You're making is us look so bad”, right!? How about the timing!? This could only happen to Obama. Right smack before his speech. Right smack before speech. This is Jimmy Carter stuff, believe me. What's going on now…–CROWD APPLAUDS–…we're now back…; we are now back in the age of…Jimmy Carter. Okay? We're right now back in that age. With…remember the hostages, we couldn't get them back?
 
So…I look at it, and I hated watching that today. And I said…you know the great thing? I don't use teleprompters, right? I don't read speeches. So when a current event happens, we can actually talk about! This happened a few hours ago! You know, most of these guys they have their lobbyists…; they have all these people are writing speeches for them; they have their pollsters; they can't talk without a pollster…you know? They can't talk! They get all the special interest money in…believe me, so much special interest that the politicians are all talk, they’re no action…all talk, no action…! They're controlled…by their lobbyists and their special interests, and their donors. Totally! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And if it’s bad…remember this: if it's bad for the United States, and if it's good for them and the people they're representing, forget it, the United States doesn't have a chance! I know the lobbyists!
 
Hey, until seven months ago I was a huge donor! I was a big guy! You know, I did…I would have lobbyists. I know many of the lobbyists. When they give a guy like Jeb…who's by the way, oh is he gone!? But when they give him…five million, and the reason I talk about him…he spent so much money with negative ads! I mean…he…he's the only…he's the only guy he's doing all these negative ads! And you know, so you gotta say…I mean you gotta say, he gets it. But when you…when you a guy like Jeb, or when you get Marco, or…Ted…or any of them…a lot of money…they have total control! If not total, how about 90%? Okay? Maybe not total, but 90%. You can't have it. I'm self-funding my campaign; I'm putting up my own money…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Putting up my own money, and…uhm…that's…that’s…you know, it's…it's truly not too much… you know, my people said that would be a very big thing. I said, “really? I don't think it's that big a deal”. Every time I go someplace I said, “you think it's important?”, the place goes crazy! They like it! I'd rather not do it.
 
You know how much money…–CROWD LAUGHS–…you know how much money…I would have collected if I wanted to collect money and put it in one of these…you know, crooked super PACs. I would have…the biggest…super PACs…ever created. I have guys coming up, they would give me whatever I wanted; especially when you're number one. I've been number one almost since I announced, I announced on June 16th …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…ain’t it amazing!? In fact, speaking of that…! …you gotta go over, right? Everyone says, “why do you over the polls!?”. Because I'm number one! …–CROWD CHEERS. It’s true! If I'm number two, I don't go over the polls! If I'm number nine…I don't go over the polls!But even some of the candidates don't know: “why do you keep going over the polls?”. I said, “where are you…?”. Well, we’re number nine this month, and we didn't make the main stage. But…why do you talk about that?”.

“I talk about it because you know what? I wanna show…the tremendous crowds that we get. That we're kicking ass together. We're all kicking ass! All kicking ass! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And you know what!? You can tell this ‘the silent majority’, which some people say, “oh, we shouldn't use that term!”. It's a very descriptive term. But it no longer works, because it's not really a silent majority, it's…it's a noisy as hell majority. It’s noisy as hell…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So…first of all, I have to start off. Every debate poll, everyone, from the beginning, all of the debates…I’ve won! I've worn! And they’ll check me…–MR. TRUMP POINTS TO THE CAMERAS. You know, check it out fellas. But…but you know, they have these polls…online polls. I didn't even know a thing like that; they’ve got polls for everything. And you'd have somebody like Drudge, who's a fantastic guy. You'd have…Time Magazine! You'd have PBS; NBC; FOX, you have them all! You have a lot! You have like eight; nine; ten…! I come back on their plane, “how am I doing the poll…?”.
“Oh, you're really doing…!”
 
So we take a look at some of these polls! I'm at 69 percent; 59…! This is with fourteen, fifteen people! So I win them! But…I guess most important: last time, we had a debate…and the day after the debate, a poll came out…a major poll…I was 11 points up! You saw that! Now we have another debate tomorrow; …they'll all be attacking me…like, you know, they attack! Hey, whatever! Right!? Whatever! Whatever! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Thank you!
 
You know, no, they attack. But…they don't understand. They’re…unlike this country…I attack back. And so…–CROWD CHEERS–…so far, we've had like nine or ten that really attacked. Most of them have already left the race. Some of them started at seven, and eight…and after they attack…; I don't even know what…; wouldn't it be great if we had a country like that!? People look at us, they talk badly, they go down the tubes! Don't we love that!? They've gone down the tubes! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So far, everyone…other than Ted, cause Ted's been really nice until the last couple of days. Ted Cruz. He’s been really, really nice. Other than that, last couple of days…get a little testy. I've been waiting! I've been waiting! …–CROWD LAUGHS. He’s got a little problem. You know, you gotta sort of make sure you can…run! You're gotta make sure you can run. A lot of lawyers say you can't run…if you do that…you can't be born in Canada! You can't be a Canadian citizen. And I hope it works out for him! I really do! Every time I have a meeting with the press, the first question they're asking me is this! But you gotta be able to run! So I'm not gonna get into it tonight. I'm sure they'll get into it tomorrow night. But you gotta be like…like…some of the greatest lawyers…from Harvard…a very good lawyer, right? Lawrence Tribe, said, “it's not a settled matter”. Supposing he runs, and everybody's banking on him, and then the courts rule that he can't run. That's not so good! What do you do!? Concede the election to Hillary Clinton or to crazy Bernie!? …–CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’. Right!? I mean, Bernie…! I don't know who I wanna run against more! I don't know!

You know, the question was asked! You wanted cuz, you know, Bernie has made some progress with her! I mean, all I…I just have this vision…of Bernie. When they tear over the microphones, righ? Remember? And he went back…; but they came upstage, two young women; they came up stage screaming, screaming, screaming. They took over his mic, and he went like this, “oh! oh!" …–MR. TRUMP PRETENDS HE’S SCARED AND BACKS OFF. THE CROWD LAUGHS. And they talked! Right!? And they started talking! The audience goes…wait…? We…we wanna hear him! And I never saw anything like that. One thing, I don't care how many people come up here, nobody's taken over my mic, okay? Nobody! Nobody! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Nobody!
 
So…! So in Iowa…we have, you know, you don't hear these polls. It's amazing, CNN probably spends more money than they paid to polls. When I get a good result, they don't wanna…broadcast it. So we had an Iowa…you don't hear this. CNN came out with a poll, recently. It was 33, Trump; 20 for Cruz; you don't hear that, right? You don't hear that! Then other ones came out. Quinnipiac, 31 for Trump; 29 for Cruz; 33 for Trump…and it…okay. Public policy, 28 for Trump; 26 for Cruz…; NBC News…they should love me, I did The Apprentice, I made them a fortune…–CROWD LAUGHS. You know why they don't love me? Because I turned them down. I couldn’t…I said, “I can't”. You know, you're not allowed to do a show. They wanted me so badly. Great people! And they came up to see me. Steve Burke, one of the great people in business. Head of Comcast. Came up to see me, wanted me to renew it. I said, “Steve, I can't do it. I'm running for president”. I think. I said “I think” cause there's about a month away. And I said, “you know…”. And I said too! It takes guts to run! It really does it takes guts! I never did this stuff before. Who knew that this was gonna end up being like this!? Who knew!?
 
But NBC. So NBC has Trump 26; Chris 24. Ah! Then we go to New Hampshire. I love New Hampshire. These people are amazing. And I'll tell you what: I think I'm gonna win Iowa. You know, a lot of people said, “it was so foolish that he said he thinks he's gonna win”. They’d like me to say “I'll do well”. That way if I don't win, you know, you’re sort of good. I don't care! I'm doing great with evangelicals…; and in the country…I'm leading with evangelicals! Okay!? I'm protestant…; No, I'm doing great with evangelicals. I'm doing great with the Tea Party! They're amazing people, the Tea Party people. They're amazing people! You know what? The Tea Party, they get a bad press. That party basically, very simple they wanna see our country be great again. That's what they want! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So in…New Hampshire…? We're killing it. ‘Trump’, Monmouth poll: Trump, 32 percent; Cruz's second at 14. NBC, ‘Trump’…New Hampshire, 30 percent; Rubio is second…Wow! Wow! But Rubio…and he's a nice guy. I like him. But I'm beating him in Florida big league in the polls, right? Big league! Big league! Big league! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So you have a governor…who's got very low-energy, named Bush. You have…Rubio, who's a sitting senator, and you have Trump. Now, I have a lot of property! Doral…does everybody love Doral Country Club? It’s the greatest, right!? A lot of stuff, all over Florida. So I employ thousands of people in Florida. But Trump is running like 32, to 12, to 4, or 5, or something…; I mean, Trump is kicking ass in Florida, can you believe that!? …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Amazing!
 
So New Hampshire, special place, great people: ‘Trump’, 32; next is 12, Reuters National: Reuters, great company, great people. You know, when they treat me good…I call them…; by the way, if I ever get a good stir in The New York Times, I'll say they were fabulous. I was only kidding. I'll say, “The Boston Globe there was actually great”, okay? But I don't expect they'll treat me too well. Reuters, great company: ‘Trump’, 41! That is 41 with like 15 people! So I’m 41 percent of the vote, you have 15 people! Second is 14. So it's 41-14. Gravis, Nashville. Great company. Great, great pollster: ‘Trump’, 41; second is 20. That's not good, that's getting too close…–CROWD LAUGHS. Wow, that's only 21 points up! New York Times National, just came out: ‘Trump’, 36; next, 19. NBC News: ‘Trump’, 48! Next, 18.
 
So…the point is…and here's all the online polls, okay? These are all the online polls for the debates. I hope I have another one tomorrow! I hope that I do well in the online side! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But who knows!? Who knows!? Who knows!? So it's amazing. But, the point is…that…and the reason I like to tell people…because we have so many volunteers; I was taking pictures in the back, with just a few of them. And we have so many incredible people…that are so…they’re so passionate about this. You know, last time they were not passionate. We should have won. We had a failed president, and something happened to Mitt (Romney). I don't know what the hell happened! But it's like he disappeared in the last month! Right!? He was building a garage someplace in California, for 12 cars…I don't know some…; there was a lot of bad stuff happened! And I called this campaign, I said, “you gotta get him on!”. Say what you want about Obama; he was on Jay Leno; he was on David Letterman; he was all over the place. And I said, “you gotta get out!”. And for some reason they disappeared. They lost, and they should have won that election. Believe me, they should have won that election.
 
And you know what happened. I backed McCain, and he lost. I backed Romney…gave him a lot of money, both of them. And he lost. And I said, “this time…I'm gonna do it myself!” …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Amazing! Amazing!
 
So…you’re ready? Gotta get rid of Common Core really bad. Really, really bad…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Gotta get rid of it. Gotta get rid of it! We want our children educated locally. We want local people. We want mothers, and fathers. We want people that love the children…that take care of the children. We don't want a bureaucrat from Washington that's making $400,000 a year. And frankly, couldn't care less…except for the amount of money they make! We don't need it! We don't need it! When we do so badly, where we spend more money per pupil than any place, anywhere in the world…and we'll rank them for 28 in the world…and third world countries are ahead of us…!? There's obviously something not so good! Okay!?
 
So we get rid of Common Core, and some of the people…Bush and others, they like Common Core. It’s ridiculous! And I'm a big education person. I…love…great education. It's gonna make such a difference! We're bringing it back to the local! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
Second Amendment, we're gonna show up the Second…they wanna take the guns away; they wanna…step-by-step! You know, you see this new…deal; we have a mental health problem. By the way, they're closing all of these mental health institutions, and big league! They're closing them! One…by one…by one…by one. And we have a mental health problem, and we have to do something about it. But…we have to maintain our Second Amendment. We cannot let them chip away at it…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
If…as an example, the toughest gun laws…they say, practically in the world, is in Paris, and France. You can't have a gun in France. You can't have a gun in Paris, even tougher. Can't have a gun! Unless you're a bad guy, in which case you walk around with guns, right? So they have a thing where a hundred and thirty people…were killed. They had thugs walk into…these different places…small group of places. And say, “get over here! Boom! Get over here! Boom! Get over here! Boom!”. A strange sound. But you know what? A sad sound. Very sad sound. Nobody had a gun, so the bullets went the other way. So the bullets went the other way. And if they did, you wouldn't have a hundred and thirty people dead, and others to follow…because they have so seriously wounded people! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
You take look and what happened…with these two people that became radical, as she was probably radicalized, probably radicalized him. The… ‘couple’… ‘the couple’…! …they talked about on television. The…young ‘couple’. They’re not a young couple. These were two…horrible…human beings, who worked in a place. The place gave them their wedding reception. Gave them parties. They walked in, and they killed 14 people! I don't know, something going on! Something going on! Something bad is going on! Okay!? And when I say it, people say, “oh, that’s terrible”. Something is going on…we gotta get to the bottom of it.
 
Now, they had all sorts of pipe bombs, and all sorts of stuff in the apartment. People know it was there! Their friends knew it was there! You don't walk into apartment, and see pipe bombs all over the place, and you say, “oh, this is a normal situation!” …–CROWD LAUGHS. So they knew bad stuff was going to happen! Nobody reported them! Why didn’t they report them!? To me, those people that didn't report, and they know…! …they know…! …exactly what! Cuz when they got letters, they said, “it wouldn't be politically correct…to report them”. To…I mean, you know, the whole thing…that was given to them by the lawyer. So nobody reported them. So you're 14 dead, others to follow, very seriously wanted people, okay?
 
You have gun-free zones, on military bases. I end that in my first hour in office! My first hour! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I would end that. So you have gun-free zones on military bases. And you had five soldiers killed; one of them was a world-class marksman; one of the best in the country; highly decorated; all four, great soldiers! You got a total of five. But yet this world-class marksman. And you had…four others, that were…terrific soldiers! All at the highest level. Put your guns a hundred yards away. You can't have guns. This whack job walks in, and shoots up kills them all! They never had a chance! I will end that so quickly…on military bases…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I will end that so quickly! And speaking of that, we have guys like…and I think I had a lot to do with the fact they're trying to get…a little tougher, but I mention him. Again, our ability to negotiate. Not just trade, where everybody's ripping us…every country in the world…! …is ripping us off. Every country in the world. Everybody is. If you can't make money…dealing with the United States…? …you don't have a very smart country, okay? Everybody makes money. Because the lobbyists and all of these people represent the countries, and represent other people…; and it's a real bad scene. And it's gonna continue if you put any of these other people. It’s not gonna continue with me! But I always bring this up! I always bring this up! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
We get…a dirty, rotten, no-good traitor…named Bergdahl, Sergeant Bergdahl…–CROWD BOOS. And they get…they get five…of the greatest people, that they know the biggest killers, and…believe me, they're back in the…but you know, the press is “oh, they’re not in the battlefield…!”. Believe me folks, they're back in the battlefield. That they're gonna be on route…and they wanna kill everybody here; they wanna kill everybody there…;
 
So we get this dirty, rotten, no-good traitor who twenty years ago would have been shot; who forty years ago they would have done it within the first…hour…! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And who now might not! And maybe nothing's gonna happen! Don't forget! With Bergdahl…we lost at least five people…and I've watched the parents on television; I've seen the parents; I met one of the parents, who's devastated! Ruined! Destroyed! And…they were killed going out…to try and bring him back! And they had lost five people. Probably six, by the way. But at least five people. And we knew…! …that he was a traitor, because we had a colonel, and a general going and do the interviews, before we made the deal! And everybody in the platoon, everybody was saying he walked off, he's a traitor; and they said he's a whack job. But we made this deal knowing! Now, I would have said, “oh, really? He’s a traitor? Pass! Let them have him!”. He’s…got it! Frankly…–CROWD CHEERS–…frankly? I would have that son of a bitch, I'd fly him back to drop him, right over the top. I'm telling you…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I'm telling you.
 
So…so we're gonna win on trade, because I…I…told you, I'm gonna get the best people. And we're not gonna have Ford move to Mexico, as an example. Hey! Again…I love Mexico. I love Mexican people, they're great people. I have thousands of Hispanics who work for me. In Nevada, just recently, they did a poll of Hispanics. I win! I win! Because the people that are here legally, don't want people coming in and taking their jobs! I win with Hispanics! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So…I've been at win with African Americans, cuz they're smart, and they want jobs! And we're taking those jobs back from China! And back from all these countries! And we're gonna make more cars in this country! And we're gonna do a lot of things that we would never think of doing! We lost…in this country, millions and millions of jobs…to these people. 55,000…factories, and manufacturing plants. 55 thousand! Who would think that's even possible!? We lost…millions of jobs to…stupid transactions, where they take everything. You go to places in Iowa; you go to Newton, Iowa; you go to…you see what happened there; you go up to…anywhere…anywhere…! …in New England. But you go to New Hampshire, you see what's happened up there! They've lost their businesses. All for nothing! All because we have people that don't understand what's going on. So…I'll give you one example, and I always like to tell it, because it's such a great example.
 
You know Nabisco is leaving Chicago; they're moving to Mexico, right? We're not gonna eat any more Oreos. Don't eat any more Oreos! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Nabisco…no, no…Nabisco is moving their biggest…one of their biggest plans to Mexico. Why!? How does that help us folks? How does it help us? They'll make cookies, they'll sell them to us, no tax, no nothingm, right? But the Ford plant to me is the greatest. Ford is gonna build a two and a half billion-dollar plant. They're gonna make cars, trucks and parts. In Mexico. They’re gonna sell them all over, but they're gonna sell them right through the border. No tax, no nothing! Many plants are gonna be closed in the United…you know what two and a half billion is for a one-story building…? …That is one hell of a plant!
 
So plants are closing all over the place. And we could…and by the way, the car industry is doing fine…because frankly, this is now, when you get free money. You know…you get…everybody's getting free money. You know, it's like…that's sort of like…a…a shot of scotch. They have your interest rates so low…; the problem is…the only one that can have money guys like me, that don't need it. If you don't need the money, you can have as much as you want, and you'll pay one-and-a-half percent interest. If you need money, and you're a great entrepreneur, and everything's good, but you gotta grow a business…? The banks won't give you the money, okay!? They won't give you. Dodd-Frank, because the regulator's run the bank's. You know, when you see these guys…and they make far too much money. They make a fortune, the heads of banks. They don't do anything. I've had guys tell me, “we don't do things”. I'll call up and ask for a reference to a friend of mine…because I have a banker as a friend. They'll say, “Donald, we don't control it. The regulator's are running the bank”. How…? What the hell are we doing!?
 
So we can't have people from this area, and other areas…that are vibrant and great…! …they can't open businesses! So we have things that are going to happen! I put in a tax plan…Larry Kudlow loves it; so many people…he’s a great guy; so many people love my tax plan. We're lowering the taxes for the middle class…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're…we're lowering them big league for business! And the middle phase! But we're lowering a big league for business. Right now, the United States…is the highest…taxed…nation in the world. We are now…corporate inversion; I don't know if anybody knows, but basically corporate inversion. Corporations are now moving out of the United States…and they're moving for two reasons: they can't get money back in, because of the…procedure; and the tax; and so many other reasons. So we have trillions of dollars, at least two and a half trillion, outside! That's outside of the United…; they can't get their money back in. The Democrats agree it should come back in. The Republicans agree it should come back in. They've all agreed for years…they can't make a deal! And the reason they can't, because they don't have any leadership at the top…–CROWD CHEERS.
 
So now what's happening, is companies like Pfizer…great company; thousands, and thousands…they're leaving, they're moving to Ireland! But companies that are moving…they're leaving! They're leaving! Thousands, and thousands of jobs! And these great companies; You know the old days, you'd have people…that move here; they'd move to Florida, from New York…or something. Now, they'll leave here, and they'll move to Europe or they'll move to Asia! And they'll move to other places. It's a different world! And we can't compete, because we have the highest taxes. So…we will change all of that. We are going to…make…our economy so dynamic, and so strong…; and we're gonna bring those jobs back from China. I love China! But we're gonna bring it back from China. Even China can't believe they're getting away with it! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And they get away with it, because what they do with their currency is unbelievable! They devalue their currency. They're like maestro's. The greatest ever. Japan also.
 
You know the story: a friend of mine with the Caterpillar tractors; always bought Caterpillar. He's an excavator. And he buys now Komatsu. He said, “you can't compete with what they've done to the Yen”. They've so devalued the Yen. Look at what's happened to Caterpillar stock! And I predicted this a year ago…when my friend told me, he said, “you couldn't compete”, and he's always bought, his whole life he's bought Caterpillar tractors! I said, “are they better?”. He says, “yeah they're better, a little bit”. But I had an obligation to my family, to my company, to my employees…I gotta…do it! So he goes and buys from Japan, tractors instead of Caterpillar. They are the greatest…people…for playing around…with their currency. The greatest! The greatest…that there's ever been! And the greatest of all is China.
 
You know, if you wanna do a deal…with China, you've gotta suffer! When they do deals with us, they come right in, there's no taxes…; you do deals with China? There is a tax! Nobody do…they call it tariffs. But there's big taxes! It's very hard to do. That's why we're going to lose, this year, on a trade deficit with China, five hundred…and five…billion…dollars! Five hundred and five billion dollars. We’re gonna lose that! Five hundred and five billion! I…by the way, I don't like this mic. Whoever the hell bought this mic system, dumped the son of a bitch to put it in, I'll tell you…these…these people…! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, this mic is terrible. Stupid mic keeps stopping. You hear that George? Don't pay him! Don't pay him! You know, I believe in paying. But when somebody does a bad job, like this stupid mic, you shouldn't pay the best thing. Terrible! Terrible! It's true! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And you gotta be tough with your people, cuz they'll pay. They don't care. They'll pay. So we're not gonna pay. I guarantee you, I'm not paying for this mic…–CROWD LAUGHS. Every…every…every two minutes I hear like boom, boom…! …–CROWD LAUGHS. Anyway, I hope it's okay for you out there, but it really is…
 
Boy, you really are…! Look up there! Look up there, it’s packed!  Up to the rafters! Man! Holy mackerel! That is…that is unbelievable. This is an unbelievable place!
 
So…we're going to…very simply, and I tell the story, and I tell what we're doing! So Ford goes to Mexico, right? They're going to announce, and they're gonna build a big plant. And I tell this all the time, and I could tell different ones, but it's so descriptive! If Jeb, or Marco, or Ted, or Hillary, or Bernie…if they're president, they're not gonna do anything about it. And if they wanted to…cause they know the deals no good, their lobbyists will come to them, go, “you know, Hillary…uhm…you can't do that, madam president. Cause so on and so on gave you five million dollars, and he owns a lot of stock, and Ford; you can't do that”. Or…the head, or Ford, or whatever. Lobbyists; special interest. With me…it's real simple! I don't care! I'm gonna do what's right for you! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I'm gonna do what's right for you!
 
So here's what happens: take Hillary, and they say, “Madam President, …uh…Ford did this and that”.
“Oh, no I don't like it!”. You know, not stupid! “I don't like to deal”.
“Well, you can't do anything…because these people all contributed to your campaign! They gave you five million dollars!”.
“Oh, boy! I wish I did know! Like…well, okay. Let them build it. Okay”.
 
Here's what happens to me. They come to me…; cause they know these people! And they're smart, and they're tough; but…they're not tough like us. Believe me, they're not that…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So they'll come to me, and they'll say…it's the president…president Trump…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…they'll say, “President Trump, it's really right; you should allow it; it's good for neighbors; it's good...”, even though…even though Mexico, by the way, is making a fortune! You talk about a trade deficit. And I'm not including all the drugs that pour across, okay? That's…you can probably double it up. They go right through the wall…! And by the way, we will build a wall! We will build a wall! We will build a wall! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's enough!
 
Who's gonna pay for the wall!? …–CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’. Who's gonna pay!? …–CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’. Nah…they're gonna pay for the wall! Now, the politicians come up, and some of them are actually nice people. They come up to me and they say…they say, “Donald, you can't have Mexico…” …they have no clue. They don't understand. They say, “you can't have Mexico…why do you say that!?”.

And I say, “you don't understand. They're gonna pay. They make so much money…the wall is peanuts! They're gonna pay!”. One way or the other, mark my words, Mexico will pay for the wall. It's gonna be a real wall. See that ceiling up there? It's gonna be a real wall…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's gonna be a real wall. It's not gonna be one of these walls, where they actually…did you ever see it…!? …in…Time Magazine…! Or one of the magazines. They have a ramp! A little ramp! They drive a truck up, down…; the wall is like this tall…–MR. TRUMP SHOWS HOW LOW WITH HIS OWN ARMS. They show the…! It's a picture in a magazine! They drive trucks over, loaded up with drugs and things…; they drive them over, they come back. We get the drugs, they get the cash…not a good deal! Right? Not a good! And what we're doing…you know, in New Hampshire they have a tremendous problem. You wouldn't think that, and we're gonna end it! We're gonna end that! We're gonna stop it! We're gonna make our country so strong…; you can't do that when you have drug addiction all over the place, because it's so cheap, and so…; you can't do it! And these politicians won't stop. So they say, “how are you gonna do it?”. So Mexico's gonna pay, a hundred percent. Mexico took from Tennessee, a great state…; they had a car company, a foreign car company. They were all set to make a deal. And all of a sudden they go into Mexico now! And you know what I say? I say, “not gonna happen that way anymore” …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So they now come…so they now come to president Trump, and they say, “Mr. Presiden, let us build this is very embarrassing. You have to let us build”.

I’d say, “no, no; why is it good?”. They'll try and explain. After about…two seconds, I'll say, “it doesn't work”. I'll say, here's what it is…and I'll tell this to the president of Ford or whoever the hell wants to represent them. “You will build in the United States, or we are gonna tax you 35 percent every time you send a truck, a car, or a part over here” …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. “we're gonna build…”. “We're gonna charge you 35 percent any time you wanna build your car in Mexico, and send it over, like we're a bunch of stupid people. Like our former representatives! Not gonna happen that way anymore!”.
 
So…and here's…–CROWD CHEERS. And here's what's gonna happen. “Mr. President, you're making a mistake. Please, we'll call you tomorrow”. I’d say, “you don’t have to call me tomorrow”.
They'll call me tomorrow, I'll say, “no, sorry, gotta build over here”.
They'll say, “Mr. President, we've decided to build our plant in the United States” …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Okay? And in this case, hopefully Michigan, because they have…they've lost a lot of stuff, okay? So hopefully you don't mind. Do you…? Can we give it to Michigan? I think so, right?

So Obamacare. We're gonna…–CROWD BOOS. It's a…it’s always this. You know, I go to Dallas, we had an arena, at the Mavericks arena. Packed! Packed! Mark Cuban called, “wanna use the arena?”. I started selling on Thursday, by like Friday the place was packed! And I had the…event…some of you were there! I had the event on Monday; I said, “how the hell do you even…!?”. We sold that thing so fast! Twenty thousand people in Dallas. thirty-five thousand people in Mobile, Alabama. Twenty thousand people in a park, in Oklahoma…–CROWD CHEERS. More than that! But twenty thousand in a park, in Oklahoma. You look at what happens in New Hampshire! And Iowa! And all of these places! South Carolina…! We are…we are doing numbers in South Carolina that's never been done before! We are doing…and you know what!? The people are incredible people! They're really like you. You’re from different states; you’re from different areas, but the people are all the same! They wanna see our country do well! They wanna have strong borders! They wanna have a strong military! They wanna take care of our vets! We wanna take care of our vets! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So…I had something the other day. And I thought it was great. And some people probably do, I’ll…I read it the other night, first time ever. And it was done by Al Wilson. The late great al Wilson, right? Great singer. And…I thought it was great. Do you mind if I put on the glasses? …–MR. TRUMP PUTS THE GLASSES ON. It's getting at that time…I never thought in my life I'd need glasses. I need glasses. Ay, ay, ay! Okay, you’re ready? Just listen to this. Al Wilson. Great singer. Died a few years ago. It's called ‘the snake lyrics’. Now, this…I consider to be…the…line on migration, because you know, the people that are coming in, you just talk to…the folks over in Germany. I have friends over there. They can't believe. Europe is being destroyed. It's being destroyed. And Obama wants to bring…not 10,000, not 25,000, not 65, which they talked about in the debate, by the way! He wants to bring so many, that you have no idea…; And we don't know who they are! And we all have a heart! And I'm all for doing some kind of a safe zone someplace in Syria, which they'd probably prefer! But this could be the great Trojan horse, right!? This could be the great Trojan…; this could be the real deal. And…I wanna do…but I want the Gulf states to pay. They have so much money! Saudi Arabia made a…billion…dollars a da! And we're protecting! We gotta  pay…; when we protect people…they got to reimburse us, at least! Okay!? …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. The money that we're losing…!
 
South Korea! I mean, every time…I order 4,000 television sets. I ordered thousands of television sets a year; for different projects, right? They all come out of South Korea! Samsung, LG…all of them! They're all made in…I mean, Sony's in Japan, but it…Sony a little bit lost its way in all fairness; they're no longer competitive, I don't know what the hell happened to Sony. But…all of these sets…you…you…you don't make televisions in here anymore. We don't make…! You go all over the United States, they don’t make televisions.
 
So South Korea; we have 28,000 soldiers on the line. 28,000! And you have the madman over here, North Korea…and he's…every week he's talking about, “we're gonna send more nukes”, “we’re now…”, you know, at some point…
 
Hey, by the way, we made a terrible deal with Iran. But…remember this! And I said, we shouldn't go and attack Iraq, and that was in two thousand three, two thousand four…and I should be given credit for vision! And I'm more militaristic than anybody in this room. And I said, “don't do it! You'll destabilize…you'll absolutely ruin the balance of the middle east”. And that’s what happened! So now what happens…Iran makes a deal…plus! …plus! …they take over Iraq! So not only did they make a great deal…I thought that was one of the greatest deals I've ever seen. The greatest deal I've ever seen is they also got Iraq! Second-largest oil reserves in the world…Iran has it. And now you look at it…they're gonna have Syria…! They're gonna have…Yemen! They’re gonna have everything! And they're going into Saudi Arabia! As soon as I saw the embassy burning…I said, “ah! That's Iraq”. They’re rich now. They're powerful! They're tough! You saw those poor guys today on the boat? The way that guy was shouting at him! A thug! And for us…? You know, the…the apology “we’re sorry; we're sorry”, and they're down on their knees. I just hated to see that for our country, okay? Just remember that. We got them back., but remember, I told you before. We only got them back, because they haven't gotten their money. If this would have taken place in two weeks from now, you wouldn't have gotten it back. Because they're smart. Let them go and pick up a hundred and fifty billion dollars.
 
So where I thought about this, and I…I think it's…an amazing thing, actually…because it's life! We don't know what we're getting; they're not…they're not at all…under no circumstances are these people…if you look at it, they're not vetted; nobody has papers; nobody has anything…; they’re putting…they’re just putting people in.
 
So I wanted to read this…because I look at this, and perhaps you can look at it toward the…migration. Ready!? By Al Wilson:
 
“On her way to work one morning,
down the path along the lake,
a tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake!”.
“His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew,
‘Oh well!’, she cried, ‘I'll take you in! …and I'll take care of you!’
‘Take me in oh tender woman’,
‘Take me in for heaven's sake’,
‘Take me in oh tender woman’, sighed, the vicious snake.
 
She wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk,
and then laid him by the fireside with some honey…and some milk,
Now she hurried home from work and that night…as soon as she arrived,
She found that pretty snake, she’d taken in, and revived!
‘Take me in, oh tender woman’
‘Take me in for heaven's sake’
‘Take me in, oh tender woman’, sighed the vicious snake.
 
Now she clutched him to her bosom, ‘you're so beautiful’, she cried
‘But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died’
She stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight,
But instead of saying ‘thank you’, that snake gave her a vicious bite,
 
‘Take me in no tender woman’,
‘Take me in for heaven's sake’,
‘Take me in oh tender woman’, sighed the vicious snake.
‘I saved you!’, cried the woman,
‘And you've bit me’, heavens why!?
‘You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die’,
‘Oh, shut up silly woman’, said the reptile with a grin
‘You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in’”.
 
CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
Right!?

I just read it. And I looked at it differently. I thought it was…pretty great. And…I’ve…I'll tell you what: that’s the second time I've ever read that. And to me…I just think, because…we don't know what we're doing here! We're gonna get bit. We're gonna get bit.
 
You know, if…2 percent…are ISIS, it's big trouble. You saw what two people…two young, married, radicalized people. And we have a president…that won't even use the term, right!? He won't even use the term! Radical Islamic terrorism. Will not use the term! Refuses to say it! And until you say it, and until you know you have a problem…you can't solve problems, unless you know you have a problem! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So…just a few more things, and I really appreciate this is such an amazing…it's overwhelming; it's amazing; it's amazing. And the press won't report it. Press won't report...; they'll say, “Donald Trump made a speech tonight; a wonderful speech, wonderful…”. Yet, they won't say how many people are here. They won't say we had to send away five thousand people. They don't do it. They don't know it. The worst are the camera guys because they don't show it. They don’t…; actually, the people that are the great, they don't think they have as good a seat, but they're the ones that are gonna be…stars, because they're on every station tonight…–MR. TRUMP TURNS AROUND AND WAVEASAT THE PEOPLE RIGHT BEHIND HIM. THE CROWD CHEERS. They're on every single station. And the people, a lot of them, the fewer of them left, they're all standing now in the front row. But they don't realize; you're much better off being there, because you're gonna become so famous.
 
But…for just a couple of other things. So Hillary said, recently, “I don't like Donald Trump's tone”,  okay? And I say, “we're having people…Christians; in the Middle East, they’re having their heads chopped off”. Not since medieval times…have we seen anything like this. And she's worried about my tone. My tone! Okay!? We need a tough town. Do you think…General Douglas MacArthur…; General George Patton…; we've had the greatest generals in the world! But MacArthur…and Patton…Patton was so tough! You couldn't talk to him; He was foul-mouthed; he had a lot of problems; a lot of…he was great. His people loved him! They died for him! They’d go wherever he wanted to go. And he used to stand up there with them. He was…that's what we need! And we have people like that! But they're not politically correct, and they're probably not being…we have people like that! Coming out of West Point; coming out of Annapolis; coming out of the Air Force Academy…; I know these people! We have great people! We don't use them. We have generals…think of this! They're always on television! I don't want my generals on television! I don't want my generals on television! They’re saying…to one of the generals, he just left. Nice guy, I'm not gonna mention his name. Very nice guy. “How are we doing with ISIS? He's going, “oh, they're very tough! Oh, they’re very…!”. Can you imagine George Patton saying that ‘tough’? …–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
First of all, George Patton wouldn't waste his time talking to somebody. And if he was on television, he’d give the opposite answer! Okay!? And the other thing is…we have to be unpredictable! I said, “kill the oil!”. And I've been saying this…how many years? Three, four years. “We gotta stop the oil”. And I said, “kill it and take it!”. I said, “take it!”. And give some of the money…to the wounded warriors; to the vets, and the families…that have lost…incredible people! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Because…we've spent, in Iraq, two trillion dollars! Lost…thousands of incredible, young, beautiful lives. Wounded warriors, who we all love…more guts than all of us…; wounded warriors all over the place! Incredible people. And we only have…we have nothing! We have nothing!

And right now, as sure as you're standing here, Iran is taking over Iraq! They've already got control of it! For years they fight! For years, for centuries, they go, ‘woo, woo, woo, woo’…–MR. TRUMP MOVES HIS FISTS LEFT TO RIGHT AND RIGHT TO LEFT–…back, forth…; they were the same, militarily. Once we decimated…Iraq, Iran just sat back and licked their chops. But we had a chance. In 2009, Hillary Clinton…if they did something, you know, when they were having the big riots in Iran. That was the chance! And instead of helping out a little bit, just by giving…some words of encouragement, we ended those riots. And…I've never…understood that one! But now, on top of that, we make this deal…there's something going on! There's something really going on!
 
But in 2009, we could have done some incredible things. And…we didn't do it. So now Iran is taking over everything. And they've done it…with our…money! We decimated Iraq! They've done it with our money!
 
So I just wanna tell you, and just in finishing…just in finishing. I've said…so many different things…whether it's oil; whether a writing about Osama bin Laden in the book…before he knocked down the World Trade Center…; so many signals, so many things. We don't want any more…; we're gonna start winning; we're gonna win with healthcare; we're gonna win with trade; we're gonna rebuild our military…; it's gonna be bigger, and better, and stronger than ever before…! And we're gonna take care of our vets, our greatest people…–CROWD APPLAUDS. We are gonna strengthen up our border; and we're gonna build the wall and we're gonna have something that's gonna be…absolutely great, and we're gonna let people come in…but they're gonna come in legally! They're gonna come in…legally! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And we're gonna win so much! And I say it! And I mean it! We're gonna win so much! We're gonna win with all of those things! Health care…everything! We're gonna win it everything we do! And other countries are gonna respect us, because we're winners, we're not losers! And we're not gonna be kissing ass…when ten wonderful people get captured…! We're going to win at every…single…level! We're gonna win so much you're gonna beg me. You're gonna say, “Mr. President, we're so tired of winning. We can't take it anymore! Please don't win anymore! Mr. President, please! Have one or two losses!”. And I'll say, “no I won't do that! I won't do that! Because…we…are…going…to make…America…so great again! We are going to make America great again! The American Dream is dead, but we're going to make it bigger, and better, and stronger…than ever before! And I love you!
 
Thank you very much everybody! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
