Thank you.
Wow!
Thank you! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Thank you very much!
Good morning everybody.
Do we love Illinois? We love Illinois! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We love Illinois!
So you have a big, big building in Chicago. You know that building, right? Trump International Hotel. [It’s] Number one.[It’s] Number one.
Well, look at those people back there! Wow! Wow! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Well, I wanna thank you all for being here. We have a big, big…week…coming up. We have a big…century coming up. We have a big…decade coming up. We’re gonna do some things that are gonna be amazing. And we’re gonna…take our country back and Make America Great Again…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [We’re] Gonna do it!
So…thank you very much, folks. And, on Tuesday, you have to do one little thing: go out and vote! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You know, we have…and it’s not me, it’s we. We have a movement going on…that’s…not seen before. I mean, they have not seen…even the media. The very dishonest media will tell you. There has never…been…anything like we’ve going. Never. Never happen before, to this extent.
And you see it in the primaries. You see it in the polls. You see it all the time! You see it in the polls…! Millions of additional people are going to vote. Millions! On the Republican side! And they’re not ro…it’s not…uh…by the way, I have to be honest. It’s not for Marco! It’s not for Ted! It’s for us! It’s for us! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So…so a lot of things are happening.
And you know, this all began…in June, when I said, [I] gotta do it! [I] gotta do it! You can’t take it anymore. You see what’s going on…; You see these horrible trade deals. You see the deal with Iran…maybe one of the worst deals…I’ve ever seen of…any…kind!
We give a terror nation, Iran, a 150 billion dollars…[and] we get nothing! We get nothing! Those deals…it’s not gonna happen anymore, folks! Not gonna happen anymore! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You have your industry moving out. Illinois is a big example of it.  You know how badly things are doing…; I mean, you are…a great example…if you really think about it. Your taxes are thorough the roof. Your companies are leaving you. You got nothing going! We have nothing going! Throughout the country, largely, we have nothing going! We have higher taxes, every year higher taxes. And honestly, you guys are really a…one of the big factors.  Ohio is not doing well. You know, Ohio…likes to talk about how they’ve stabilized. What they’ve done in Ohio is raise everybody’s real estate taxes, so high that they’re choking!
And then they say, “oh, we didn’t raise taxes…”. No, they raised real estate taxes. You know, he…what he did…is he approved NAFTA. NAFTA was the beginning of the end. Companies moved out, and governor Kasich, he…you know, he went out…Kasich went out and pproved NAFTA. And NAFTA was…a disaster!
Now he’s in favor of TPP. TPP…-THE CROWD BOOS-…think of it. TPP is even worse. It’s gonna kill…so many businesses in our country. [It’s gonna] Destroy our jobs…; folks, it’s time to stop. We gotta use our heads.
Now, look. Look. Just so you understand how bad TPP is, and I’m just gonna say it for a second, because a lot of people…; it’s called Trans Pacific Partnership. It is a disaster for our country. And what you have…is you have other countries, basically, sucking away our money, sucking away our jobs…; you’re closing down your factories and your manufacturing plants…and we’re gonna stop it.
We’re gonna keep our business here. We’re gonna bring our bussines back. We’re gonna bring jobs back to America, folks! We’re bringing jobs back to America! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, yesterday I was in Ohio. We had an amazing…amazing day. And I was in Cleveland, which was…that…we were greeted so warmly. And by the way, you’d never…you would never believe that if you listened to the press. And every once in a while, we’ll have a protester get up, say something. Usually it’s staged, okay? Usually it’s staged. But they’ll say something. We stop. And we have fun! It’s okay. We have fun.
But you listen to these guys…; I watch the morning shows. I was on the morning shows! “Mr. Trump, it’s terrible!”. [Do] you know how many people have been injured in our shows? Nobody! Nobody! We’ve had…-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY-…and we’ve had 25,000 people and 20,000…;
Two weeks ago, in Alabama we had 35,000 people. And people stand up. And [did] you ever notice? I guess I’m getting soft, but I’ll tell the police…do we love our police, by the way? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They’re so great!
And we don’t get them out! The police take care of things. But I’ll say [to] the police, “nice and easy! Don’t hurt the person!”. But then, every once in a while you get a person that’s sort of violent…likes to hit people, likes to swing, likes to do things…so you’ll be a little tougher, and they’ll say, “why did you…!?”, this morning! “Why did you treat that person so badly!?”. Well, the person was violent, you know. We’re supposed to be…;
By the way, could you imagine if some of you went to a Bernie…rally, right? If you went to a Bernie rally…-THE CROWD BOOS. Number one, folks, his crowds are going well done. He’s pretty much finished. He got a little bit lucky last week. He’s gonna keep it going. But I really would rather run against Hillary, to be honest with you. It’s gonna be more fun…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And she’s probably gonna be allowed to run even though she shouldn’t be allowed to run. She shouldn’t be allowed to run…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. She truly shouldn’t be allowed.
But, anyway, how about this?       	If we went to a Bernie rally…you know what…I…it’s…it’s incredible. We have protesters…some of whom are so mean, so loud, so vicious…; they stop us from, really, our First Amendment rights, right? Freedom of speech! You can’t talk! They’re screaming…; there are very few of them, but they’re bad!
Now, you hear about a couple of…one in particular: vicious, swinging…; well, guess what happened!? Our people started swinging back. The next day, we were the bad ones! And it was like this innocent guy…! And I was standing up here, watching. He had a voice like Pavarotti. But he was hitting people! And when we hit back, we’re the bad ones! Always we’re the bad ones.
Now, change it around. You go to…like a Bernie rally. I wouldn’t bother with Hillary, because Hillary doesn’t get too many people, to be honest…–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. There’s no…there’s no fervor. There’s no fervor there, folks! No fervor.
But, if you go to a Bernie rally, or a Hillary rally…let’s put her in, okay? You go to one of these rallies…and you protest? Oh, you’d be in trouble! They’d lock you up for the rest of your life. They’ll give you the electric chair…­–­THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY­–…and they’ll say, “oh, poor Bernie! Oh, poor Bernie, he had to endure this!”. With us they don’t say that. I’ll tell you, with us they don’t say…;
So, we worked out something that turned out to be really good. We had 25,000 people coming to a rally in Chicago. And we made…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…right? Oh, a lot of you [were there]! Oh…! Oh, wow! Woah! Woah! I love you, folks! Look at you! Wow! All right! So we’re gonna make up for loss time, okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. That’s amazing. That’s amazing!
So we had this massive crowd of people, and…we had protesters that…immediately came. In other words, you know, [Bill] Ayers was there, who wrote Obama's book. They say he wrote the first book, the good one…­–THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. You know, that's what they say. Who knows if it's true? But they say he wrote the first book.
But Ayers was there, [a] trouble maker. And you had a lot of people there. They had all of the Bernie’s signs, made right from a printing press. Everybody had them. They were handed out. But you had a…group of people, 3,000 people, and maybe even more! And they all showed up! Did you notice? Some of you were there. They all showed up like at the same time! It was totally organized! Troublemakers. Troublemakers. You know, the truth is? They’re disruptors! They're really disruptors! They’re not protesters. They’re disruptors. They're supposed to disrupt, okay?
Don't worry about them, I don't hear their voice…–MR. TRUMP REFERS TO A RUMOR COMING RIGHT FROM THE CROWD. There’s…they’re…they’re…; you know, I told somebody: our rallies are so big, and we have so many people… [that] I never hear their voice! I only hear our people's voice saying, “there they are there! There they are!” …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
Don't worry about it! Let's find out. If they have a big voice, we’ll stop and the police will take them out of here, okay? Let's hear your voice! Go ahead, let's hear it! Can you [do you]… have any voice? Come on! [Do]  You have any voice? …–THE CROWD CHEERS. I don't hear much of it.
So, in Chicago…so in Chicago what happened, very nice, but…we…did a cancellation. We did a postponement. We did a postponement. Maybe I can say we did a postponement until today! Because you're all here, right? …–THE CROWD CHEERS. I'll say till today, that way I get away with not having to do it again, because I will do it again!
But, in Chicago, we postponed it. Now, the fair television and the fare media said we did a great thing. Because you would have had a pretty big skirmish. People could have been hurt, and who needs it, right? So we cancelled. What I felt badly about is some people got their 10 hours early, seven hours early…like you, right? It's amazing! I mean, they get…they get…you out of here 7 hours early today.
You know, they get here at five in the morning. Can you believe it!? I only hope …fellas, I only hope it's worth it. Okay? We gotta give them…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We've gotta give them their money's worth.
So, in Chicago we did a cancellation…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. THERE IS A PROTESTER IN THE ROOM. All right, get them out of here, please. Get him out. Get him out! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You can get them out. Thank you! Thank you! Get him out! …–THE CROWD CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY.
And we did a really great thing! Nobody hurt. Nobody injured. No problems. But very inconvenient! You know, you talk about freedom of speech! You people didn't…you couldn't be there!

So, I went on the shows this morning, and they said, “Mr. Trump, you're provoking…you…”.
I said, “what am I doing?”. 90 percent of the time I'm telling the police, “take it easy. Don't hurt them. Just take it easy. Don't hurt them”. And, you know, it's one of those things. But we're not provoking. We all want peace. I…this group…is that true word or what!? We don't want trouble…–THE CROWD CHEERS. We don't want trouble! We don't want trouble.
I will say, with all of that being said, and that's a 100 percent so true, but with all of that being said, we're being disenfranchised so much in this country. People…their jobs are being taken away. Their companies are being shipped down to Mexico. You're stuck here, and Illinois is a great example, but you stuck here with high taxes, no job, a house that you can't pay the mortgage on…; I mean, I know what's happening! And even very successful people are being wiped out!
You saw what happened to Carrier air-conditioner: 1,400 jobs. “Bye-bye, you’re gone! We’re moving to Mexico!”.
Now, look. A lot of the so-called conservatives…you know, they call them ‘the elite!’. They’re elite! They don't have ten cents [and] they’re elite! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
Now, you tell me, a little question. They are elite, right? These are the elite conservatives! Do you think they have an aeroplane like that!? …–MR. TRUMP POINTS TO HIS AEROPLANE BEHIND HIM. I don't think so!…–THE CROWD CHEERS.
So, if they don't have an airplane like that, they're not elite, I guess! I always hate to hear [that] they’re elite! “The elite people!”. Give me a break!
And by the way, just so you know, the elites are calling me all the time. They wanna work a deal, because you know what!? They have never seen anything like this happened! Millions of people are going out to vote! They're going out to vote for me! But millions of people…! And…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…people…people that they don't even know about! The biggest names in the Republican Party are calling behind their back. The media doesn't know. And they wanna work a deal, because they see what's happening, folks. [It’s] Really, really important that you go out and vote. [It’s] really important that we win Illinois. [It’s] Really important if there's people from…anybody from Ohio!? Anybody!? Nobody!
Well, for the 12 people from Ohio, you’d better go out and vote, cause we're gonna do a much better job than Kasich, that I can tell you…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But you gotta go out and vote.
So, you know what is happening is we have…I mean, we're doing something that is being talked about. It's the biggest story in politics! Millions and millions of people. Millions…are going out and they're voting! It's never, ever happened before! And the people that are voting, interestingly, the people that are voting…many of them have never voted before. And I see him. Sometimes I'll shake hands up here, or I'll sign autographs…and people say to me…40, 50, 60 years old; one woman, in Tennessee, 93 years old, she never voted. She said, “Mr. Trump, you're the only one I've ever voted…I've ever, ever felt I wanted to vote for! And we are getting thousands and hundreds of thousands of people that never voted before. We're getting…tremendous numbers of people, from everywhere! Guess where! The Democrats!
Now, we're up millions of people. We're getting independents, we're getting Democrats, we're getting people never voted before. The Democrats are down 35 percent! There's no spirit for the Democrats. We are going to win a very big election! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Do you remember!? [Do] you remember when they had Democrats for Reagan!? We've got Democrats for Trump. And I'll tell you, it's gonna be much bigger than Democrats…; and I love Ronald Reagan! But it's gonna be much bigger…than Democrats for Reagan. We are getting massive numbers of Democrats.
A friend of mine's a big movie producer in California. [He’s a] Very liberal guy. He said to me, and it…he has a lot of power. [He’s a] Very powerful guy, out in California. [He] Said, “Donald, you have no idea. California…”; oh, that's okay…–THERE IS A PROTESTER IN THE ROOM, APPARENTLY. Leave him alone. [He’s] got no voice. Fellas, leave him alone. Leave him alone! Look at that person. That's…foolish person.
All right! Get them out of here! Get them out! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Send them back to Bernie! Send them back! [Do you] Remember when they took over the microphone from Bernie!? Right!? They took over the microphone. All right, get them out of here. Go ahead, get them out.
[Do] You see where they place themselves? Right in front of the cameras. [Do you] See that? That's all they care about. Disgusting, right? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Right in front of the cameras. All right, get them out! Now! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS AND THEN CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY.
[Do you] See where they put themselves? Right smack under the cameras. It's frankly…disgusting. And then they say on the shows, “it's terrible the way you treat…”. We didn't treat anybody…–THE CROWD STARTS CHANTING ‘U.S.A!2 REPEATEDLY. MR. TRUMP CHANTS ALONG. I love it! I love it! All right.
So, you gotta get out to vote. Let me give you a brief. You have a little Marco Rubio. [The] Guy hasn't shown up to vote. He's like setting a record for the least votes in the history of the U.S Senate. He's weak on illegal immigration. He's in favor of amnesty. I think you can forget about him. Florida…does not like him. I won't tell you what the polls are, but it's looking pretty good in Florida for me. I think we're up 21 points, so that's good…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You have lyin Ted Cruz. Lyin Ted! Lyin Ted! He walks in…he…you know, from Canada! He comes right out of Canada! He spent his first four years in Canada! He was a Canadian citizen until 16 months ago! So you have lyin Ted! He holds the Bible…and by the way, do you see I'm winning the evangelical vote all the time!? …­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. All the time! I love…I love the evangelicals. I love the Christians…and by the way! They are chipping away at Christianity in this country.
You know, if I say something about another religion, we go through hell. You say something about Christianity…? No problem! That's not gonna happen anymore, folks! And you know what!? …–­THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And you know what? Come Christmastime…because if we have a good November, like a really special…November, even though I won't quite be there…yet we will be there psychologically and mentally…come Christmastime, we’re gonnaall be saying ‘Merry Christmas!’. It's gonna be back! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Do you ever noticed these stores!? You don't see ‘Merry Christmas’. They don't…they took it off! I say, “why don't you have it?”.
“Well, it's not really…the right thing”. It's going to be the right thing. Believe me, folks. [It’s] gonna be the right thing…­–­THE CROWD CHEERS.
So, we have lyin Ted Cruz. So, Ted comes in with a Bible, holds it high…and he talks! You know, he's a good debater [but a] bad talker. Did you ever notice!? He debates, wah! Wah! Boom! And yet I beat him in every debate according to the polls! Every single debate…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLADUS. [He] can't talk!
So, what happens is lyin Ted lifts up the Bible, puts down the Bible, and then starts lying. And even Rubio said, “you're a liar!”. And when a politician, [a] senator, says that to another politician…I said, “finally I have cover”.
[Do you] Remember…what Ted…Cruz did in Iowa to Ben Carson…who endorsed me, by the way. We love Ben! We love Ben! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Ben was going forward with the race, no problem, and Ted said, “he's out of the race! He's out of the race!”. And you know why he's doing badly with evangelicals? Because evangelicals are smart! And evangelicals do not like liars! Okay!? I'm telling…I'm telling you! They saw that…they saw…; actually, he did the same thing with Rubio! He said, “Rubio is out of the race in Florida!”. He did…He just did it! Like a couple of days ago! They actually have memos! By the way, is the out of the race? Pretty close, right? But I would never say that…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, look, look. Then we have Kasich. Nice guy. [He] Says he's really nice. [He] Never mixes it up! He's the nice person! [He’s a] Wonderful guy…; you know what he said? He was on one of the shows today…uh…I think he was on…lile…whatever, Meet the Press, one of them. And they asked him about Trump. “What do you think of Trump?”.
“Well, I don't see his rallies”.
Well, if he doesn't see my rallies, he's the only one that doesn’t, right? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But then he said something that was sort of amazing. And we all like sports, and we love sports, right!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But…but, you know, he said, “well, what do you think of the rallies?”. They said, “what do you think of this?”; and, “what do you think of what he said here?”.
He said, “honestly? I don't watch television except for one show: I only watched the Golf Channel”.
I said, “what!?”. Now, I love golf, but I don't get to watch the Golf Channel! I don't want a guy that watches the Golf Channel and nothing else! He actually said [it]! “I only watch the Golf Channel!”.
So, look, look. Here's the is the bottom line of him: he approved NAFTA. He voted for it…it was a disaster. He's approving TP. He's totally in favor of it…–THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. It's a disaster. It's gonna kill our country. It's gonna kill Ohio. It's gonna knock out the car industry in Ohio. It's gonna hurt whatever you have left in Illinois, cause you guys are losing too fast! You're losing too fast! I gotta keep you here!
Do me a favor: promise that you'll stay without leaving for two more years. I'll…get it fixed! Okay? I'll get it fixed…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You guys owe a lot of money! They owe a lot of money! They keep raising those taxes! Up, up, up! You know, the problem is, eventually, everyone just leaves. And they have nothing! They have nothing!
So, stick around. We're gonna make you very happy. Believe me. We're gonna bring jobs back. They're coming back from China. They're coming back from Vietnam…! They're coming back from all over the world! They're coming back from Mexico! They're killing us at the border. They're killing us with trade. And guess what we're gonna do with Mexico!? And I love Mexico! And I love the Mexican people! They're great people!
But you know what we're gonna do!? We're gonna build a wall! Right!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're gonna build a wall! It's gonna be a real wall! And I won't even ask you, I'll tell you: Mexico is going to pay for the wall, folks. Okay? Believe me! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You know, you had…you saw the other day, you had Vincente Fox, right? He was on, the ex-president. And he was angry! Ge was being interviewed by…CNN. And he was angry! And you know why he was angry!? Because he's not getting his way! …–THERE IS A SUDDEN NOISE COMING FROM THE CROWD, APPARENTLY A PROSTESTER. Hello! Go back home, darling! All right, get them out of here. Get them out.
See? Nobody gets hurt, right? Who gets hurt!?
So, I've had the biggest rallies that…people have ever seen. Especially this far before the election. Nobody's ever seen that they like it. Nobody gets hurt! Nobody gets hurt! But you listen to the thing…I was listening this morning! It almost like…these things are death! Nobody's been hurt!
Now, sometimes we talk a little bit…tough. When I see somebody out swinging his fists, I say, “get him to hell out of here!”. You know, we're a little bit rough. They hate to hear that. They hate to hear that…–MR TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS.
“Why did you act so viciously toward that young person…that was…really protesting”.
I say, “he wasn't protesting. He was swinging! He was vicious! He was dangerous! They took him out!”. And you know what? That was okay in that case, okay? And they…they are so dishonest, these people are so dishonest…–MR TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS.
So, here's what's gonna happen: so on this stage…I said the other day, very strongly, “build that wall”, and all of a sudden I'm hearing [that], over the last month, Cruz is saying…you know, “bah, bah, bah, and we're gonna build the wall!”.
I said, where did that come from!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. And then Rubio says it! And all of a sudden…cause you know…I was the only one with the wall.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Sheriff Joe Arpaio endorsed Donald Trump. Sheriff Joe. Now, when Sheriff Joe endorses me, that means I'm the one in terms of border.
So, they come off. They say, “no wall”, but now they're all saying you have to build a wall. Believe me, folks! Just like in…Iraq. I said, when we…we shouldn't have gone into Iraq! And I said it from the beginning! “Don't go into Iraq!”. They try and say, “oh, but I had…!”. Before it ever went in, I was against, because you’re gonna destabilize the Middle East. Okay. It's a disaster. One of the worst decisions ever made. Obama got us out horribly.
But, what did I say? “Keep…the oil!” Right!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We got nothing! We went in, we spent two trillion dollars; we lost thousands of lives! We have wounded warriors who I love, all over the place. They're incredible people. They're tougher and braver than all of us put together, honestly! These people are incredible! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So, look. So, look. And we left! We’re the only ones, you know? We go in, we fight a war, and we leave. We fight a war, we leave! We get nothing! We never get anything!
In the old days, we got, when we were smart. But, we're not smart anymore. We have leaders who are incompetent! Who don't know what they're doing, and that's what's gonna…;
So, here's what we're doing, folks. Here's what we're doing: number one, we have to win on Tuesday, and I'm counting on Illinois. And we just got a very good poll. I think it was CBS. We're up…quite a bit in Illinois, but I don't wanna tell you that, because…I want you to think that we're a little bit down…that you have to go. So, we're not up. Just relax, okay? We're up a little tiny bit! Okay? We’re actually up a lot, but I don't wanna say it.
So, look. We gotta start by winning, cause you know, they can talk about a movement all they want. But a movement is only good if you win!
You know, Muhammad Ali, he was a friend of mine, a great guy. [He] Still is! But I don't see him anymore. But I used to love him, [a] special guy. And he used to give the jive. He used to…talk, he used to get up there and he’d dance around, and he’d…say you're an ugly bear, and you’re…and it was all okay, as long as you win!
Now, I've had guys and seen guys that talk just as well, but they couldn't fight just as well. And when a guy gets up and talks, and then gets knocked on his you-know-what…I'm not allowed to say that, cause the press…doesn't want me to use…bad words! Can you believe that's a bad word? Okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
So folks, so he gets knocked on his you-know-what…it doesn't have…very good impact, so it only works…;
So, here's the thing: Time magazine many, many covers. You know, all my life, Time magazine, I was on twice. And in the last four months, five months, I've been alone all the time! But, I'm not on…we're all on! We're on.
Everywhere I go, we have amazing, amazing people. So, the most important thing we have to do is on Tuesday…no matter how you feel, I don't care! And I won't go through the whole routine: no matter how you feel; no matter this.; no matter that; your wife…; your husband…; forget it! Who needs it? You've all heard it. You’ve gotta get up. You’ve gotta go. You gotta vote. Because the more we win by, the better it is.
And by the way, the more we win by, because it's proportional, the more delegates we’re gonna get. So, you gotta get up. You gotta get up.
Now, so when I came down, I was talking…we came down the escalator with my wife, and we were talking about…two things, primarily: illegal immigration…; by the way, did I take heat or what!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. Did I take heat! Illegal immigration, we were talking about, very strongly. I turned out to be right!
You had Kate in San Francisco; you had Jameel in Los Angeles; you had to vet, the…beautiful, wonderful…65-year-old woman. A veteran. Raped, sodomized and killed, by an illegal immigrant. And, it turned out to be a…a tremendous problem. It is a tremendous problem. That's why. We're gonna have a real border.
And by the way, people are going to come into our country. We want people to come in, but they've gotta come in...like you, legally! Right!? My man! Legally! …–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT A PERSON IN THE CROWD. THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Oh, I'd love to get you up in the stage. I'd love to show him that shirt! I don't know! …–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT A PERSON IN THE CROWD. THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. These guys…I'd love to get him up here. Can I!? Come on, bring him up! This…just…Jimmy, come on! Bring him up! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Bring him up! He knows [that] if he makes a move, he's gonna get clobbered by these guys! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. Did you see these guys take the guy down yesterday!? Man! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They took him down! Thank you! That's great! I didn't think they were gonna say yes! And look at him, he's a tough-looking guy! Come on! Don't worry. Oops he has a hard time getting over, but he's fine! Look at this, come here! …–THE PERSON MR. TRUMP WAS TALKING ABOUT IS NOW ONSTAGE. HIS SHIRT SAYS “LEGAL IMMIGRANT FOR TRUMP”. THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
THE PERSON INTERVENES.
Great guy, right!?
And did I ever meet you before!? You know, they're gonna say, “oh, he met him before! They had a meeting last night!”. No, no. I just think…I know…I know great people. And I appreciate it. Where did he go!? Oh, I thought he might have left! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. Thank you, man. What's your name!? What is your name!? All right, beautiful. Thank You, man. That's so beautiful…­­–THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY. I just see him standing with that shirt, and…that's what it's all about.
So, we want people to come in! We want a lot of people! Hispanics, in Nevada! I won big, right!? Big! And they do polls! And I won with the Hispanics. I'm winning with Hispanics! Because, you know, when you're Hispanic…first of all, incredible people. Unbelievable people. I have, right now, thousands of Hispanics working for me. They work hard. They're phenomenal, phenomenal, great energy. But you know what? When you're here legally, you don't want people pouring in…it has nothing to do with…any…kind of anything! You don't want people pouring in, taking your job, taking your house, doing things…you just don't want it! You wanna go through a process, you wanna come in, you wanna be a proud American. And that's what we're gonna do. So, we’re gonna have people coming in, lots of people coming in, but they're going to come in legally. Okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Now, two. This…so…so, I wanna tell you about the wall. So, we need a wall. It's gonna happen. They said you can't build it, but China built one that's…uh…13 times longer. China, 2,000 years ago, built The Great Wall of China. It's 13,000 miles long! Our…wall has to be one…it's actually 2,000, but we have a lot of natural barriers. Our wall’s 1,000. [It] Is what you need. 1,000 miles.
China…they didn't have Caterpillar tractors, and we’ll insist on using Caterpillar, not…Komatsu, right?! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're not using Komatsu! [Do you] Remember the old sign ‘made in the USA’!? ‘Made in America!’. ‘Made in the USA!’. We're going back to those signs. We're gonna be proud of it again. You know, we're gonna be proud of…;
When was the last time you saw sign, a little poster, or something on your car, or your truck…? Where it says, ‘made in the USA’? They don't exist anymore. They don't exist. We're gonna be proud of it!
You know, other countries are proud of it! You know, you go to Japan…I mean, and I…I'm not knocking it for this! They wanna buy Japanese products, okay? They don’t want American products! We have a tremendous trade deficit with Japan. Massive trade deficit with China! But with Japan, they don't want American products! They want products made in Japan! Because they're proud of their country!
We're gonna be proud of our country, and we're gonna want products made in the USA. That's what we want! Okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…so, the wall happened, and people fell in love with it. And, then I started saying, not only are we gonna build the wall, but Mexico's gonna pay. And all these politicians, who are all taken care of…you know that, by the special interests, and the lobbyists. A 100 percent. You know, in Washington, they have firms that handle individual senators. It says, Rubio on his forehead, like this…–MR. TRUMP GOES FROM ONE SIDE OF HIS FOREHEAD TO THE OTHER. “Rubio!”. It says ‘lyin Ted Cruz!’. It goes ‘lyin Ted!’. They have lobbyists that handle these guys ! You go in, you pay a lot of money, and they produce. Because they raise them a lot of money for their campaigns, and probably other things, but I can't say that, cause I don't know! All right? They probably do a hell of a lot more than that, but we don't wanna know about it, right? But they raise money for their campaigns, and their specialist. They’re specialist in different senators.
Here's the deal, folks: I'm putting up my own money. I don't have anybody handing me money. I've turned down tens of millions of dollars…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. When I fly that big plane here to be with you, folks, it's expensive. I pay for it! I'm paying for it! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, but the point of it is that I'm not controlled by the lobbyists, and the special interest. And I've hired many of the lobbyists! They're fantastic! The good ones will always produce. I mean, the lowest produce.
So, when I tell Carrier that, “I'm sorry folks. We don't like that you're moving to Mexico. We're going to charge you a 35 percent tax…every time you make an air conditioning unit, and sell it across our very strong border…” …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And when they go crazy, with the other guys…with a Hillary, or with these guys, they're going to say, “well, I'll work it out. We’ll call our lobbyists. They’ll work it out. A 100 percent they work it out. With me!? The lobbyists won't even call, because here's what's gonna happen:
The head of Carrier will call me and, you know, Ivanka and Melania said, “you shouldn't be saying that, it's not presidential!”. They always like to say ‘not presidential’. I'm better than them, I…I’ll tell you: someday we're gonna have to…compare IQs, okay? With them. “It's not presidential!”. I don't care if it's not presidential. I want Carrier not to leave our country. I want…Nabisco not to leave our country. I want Ford not to leave our country…–THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
And I have Carl Icahn, the greatest business leaders in the world, I have many of them endorsing me, wanting to work, wanting to help. We have political hacks negotiating our deals.
So, here's what I’ll do: I call up, or I have one of…the killers from Wall Street. I know…the…we have the greatest…business people…negotiators…in the world. We don't use them! We use people that are diplomats. We have Carol and Kenny negotiating with Japan. Caroline Kennedy! She didn't even know how she got the job! She was on television! She didn't know how she got…she said, “well, I asked! I asked for a job”, and it was on 60 Minutes. And she's very nice. Ivanka likes her, so I like her too. But that doesn't mean I want her to be our chief representative…with Japan!
So, she said, “yeah, I went in, [and] I said, “I'd like a job to the White House”. Pretty good connections, right?
And they said, “oh, you would? Oh, that's good. How would you like to be ambassador to Japan?”.
She goes, “really!?”.
Well, this is our chief negotiator! Look, folks: we gotta get smart. We take in millions…billions and billions of cars, in terms of dollars. Billions and billions. They play games with monetary manipulation that Obama knows nothing about. He doesn't have a clue.
TPP doesn't even discuss monetary…devaluation. And that's the chief weapon, that's how we're being killed by China, and all of these…cause we make better products. But we can't compete because they devalue their currency so…brilliantly, so…brilliantly.
So, here's what happens: we've got the best people. I will have…one of my guys, cause I do wanna act presidential, right? Should I have…? And my guy will call up and say, “listen, you're gonna pay 35…”.
They're gonna call back the next day. They will have tried to get lobbyists. They will have tried to get special interest. They will have failed. And they're gonna say, “please, tell the president that we're not leaving the United States. We’ll build a new plant, maybe, in the United States”. [They’re] not leaving.
Now, that goes for Ford, and that goes for Nabisco. Now, a lot of the conservatives…cause I'm a conservative guy…nobody more conservative on military, or in healthcare. We're gonna…we're gonna repeal and replace Obamacare, 100 percent. Or on Common Core! Nobody more…we're getting rid of Common Core. We're bringing our education local…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Or on the Second Amendment, nobody more conservative than me! We're not gonna touch our Second Amendment. Believe me! We are not touching our Second Amendment.
So, nobody more…but the…the…purists, they say, “well, Donald Trump's not a free trader!”. Well, I am a free trader. But to be a free trader you need smart people on our side too, negotiating. And we don't have those people, we're not using those people. We’ll start, but we're not using those people.
So, until such time as trade is fair, I just want to be fair! We don't even have to…give them an edge, I don't care! But we can't lose 500 billion dollars a year to China! We can't lose…–THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY–…a fortune to Japan. You know, I was reading something, just this morning, where…an article, where…they didn't use numbers, they just said, “yes, Japan sends in to us…tremendously more than we sent back to them”. Who needs these deals!?
Then they say, “oh, you'll start a trade war”.
I say, “well, that's better than what we have now!”. I mean, the trade was better than losing all of this money! What are we doing? We have rebuilt China. And I love China! I have many Chinese friends! They can't believe…they got away with us. They can't believe it, okay? They can't believe it, that we have rebuilt China, and I always say: it's the greatest theft in the history of the world, what China has done to the United States. Because we've had stupid people at the helm. We've had incompetent leadership. It's not gonna happen anymore, folks. A lot of you, and a lot of Illinois is really…feeling down, and your taxes are through the roof, cause so many companies have left! And you had great jobs five years ago, 10 years ago, those jobs are now in other countries! In particular Mexico, but there are other countries. We're not gonna let it happen, okay?
So, now what happens is this: I’m really good on trade, I think you know I'll do great. I think you have no doubt about it. In fact, when CNN does this big poll…they came out with a poll, and in the poll, they talked about on the economy, I blow everyone away. On finance, I blow everybody away. I mean, like beyond…like four or five times higher. On the overall poll, I was 49, they’re at 15. [I] blow everyone out. They don't love my personality as much. Actually, I have a nice personality! But who cares!? Who cares!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They say the best leader is Trump, but they don't necessarily think I'm a nice person.
Let me tell you, I'm a nicer person…than the people on stage with me, believe me. And you're gonna find them a nicer person when our country starts getting smart again. You're gonna like this person…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…so, what's happened is…the trade is great, the border is great…Sheriff Joe, we're gonna build a wall. Uh…Vincente Fox used the f-bomb; If I would have used it, they would have given me the electric chair; he used it, [and] nobody even mentions it. And, his arrogance was incredible. And it wasn't that we said, “you're gonna pay for the wall”. They said, “Donald Trump talks about paying for the wall”.
He says, “we will not pay for that you-know-what wall!”. Now, you know what they do? They bleep me when I say that, and everyone thinks I used a bad word. That's what they do! They bleep me. But he said that. Because he's not used to being spoken to that way. They're used to get in every…single…thing they want. And that's not gonna happen anymore, right? [It’s] Not gonna happen anymore…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLTY.
So, what happened is, you know I'm gonna do well in the trade stuff. You know I'm gonna do well in the economy. I'm going to be the greatest jobs producing President that God ever created, believe me…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're bringing those jobs back.
But here's…something that…I think…I love it. I did it yesterday again for the first time, in a long time but I love it. And, it's sort of a poem that was the song.
So, we have a big problem with terror. And you saw they asked me the question about Islam the other day. And I said, “I'll stick with my answer”, cause there's something going on, boy. There’s something…there's a lot of hatred, whether you like it or not. And it's not politically correct, maybe. And certainly, radical Islam, and radical Islamist terrorist…uh…it…Islamic terrorism, and you don't…you don't see Obama even using the term! He doesn't even wanna use the term genocide…for Christians that are being beheaded! He's not using it! And nobody even understands why! I think I understand why, but I won't say it…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. Okay!
So…so, we have a problem, with terrorism, and I want you to listen to this because…this represents…terrorism. And it's called ‘The Snake’. ‘The Snake!’, by Al. Wilson. Do…anybody know Al Wilson? Great. Okay?
So, just listen, you're gonna love this. No protesting until I finish, okay? …–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
“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 broken snake.
She wrapped him up all cozy, in a curvature of silk,
and then, laid him by the fireside, with honey and some milk.
Now she hurried home from work.
As soon as she arrived, she found that pretty snake she’d taken had been totally revived.
‘Take me in, oh, tender woman; take me in, for heaven's sake; take me in, oh, tender woman’, sighed the broken snake.
Now she clutched him to her bosom, ‘you're so beautiful!’, she cried,
but if I hadn't brought you in by now, heaven’s sake, you would have died!
Now she stroked his pretty skin, and then she kissed him and held him tight.
But instead of saying ‘thank you’, that snake gave her a vicious bite!
‘Take me in, oh, tender woman; take me in, for heaven's sake; take me in, oh, tender woman’, sighed the broken snake.
‘I saved you!’, cried the woman; ‘and you've bitten 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!’…
 
…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
Right? Does…does everybody sort of get it?
Folks, we have to be smart. We have to be vigilant. We have to build up our military. It's the cheapest thing we can do. I don't wanna use it. Remember, I didn't wanna go into Iraq. These other guys went it. But you don't get out the way Obama gets out.
We have to have unpredictability with our military. You can't have generals talking to…various…reporters...and it…I mean, the whole thing is a mess. I don't think General Patton was big into doing interviews on television, or any interviews. I don't think General Douglas MacArthur…what they did is they won. They went in and they won! It was tough, it was vicious, it was ruthless, it was war. It was war. They won.
We've been playing around with ISIS. We can't beat ISIS. Think of it. Our military…; what would General George Patton say, in his grave? He's spinning like a top! [He] can't even believe it. [He] can't even believe it.
So, here's the story. You gotta go out and vote. I will never let you down. You're gnna say, “it was the single…greatest…vote…you have…ever…cast…by far”. You're gonna look back in two years…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…you're gonna look back in two years; you're gonna look back in ten years; you're gonna look back in 20 years; [and] you're gonna say it was the most important vote you ever cast.
Now, here's the story: we're gonna start winning again. We're gonna win with our military. We're gonna take care of our vets…­–THERE IS A SUDDEN NOISE IN THE ROOM, APPARENTLY A PROTESTER. Don't…don't listen to him. Don’t listen.
We’re gonna take care of our vets. Remember this, we're gonna win with our military. We're gonna take care of our vets. We're gonna win at the border. We're gonna win it trade. We're gonna win so much…! We are going to be great again! We are going to make America great again! I love you, Illinois! Go out and vote on Tuesday! I will never…let you…down!
Thank you! I love you! Thank you! Thank you, everybody! I love you! Go and vote!
