-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you very much, everybody.
 
You just like me because my daughter happens to be Jewish! –CROWD LAUGHS. Right!? She has a great husband, Jared, and I'll tell you what…ehm…Ivanka could not be happier, and she's very proud. The only bad news, I can't get her on Saturday. I call and I call…–CROWD LAUGHS. I can't…I can’t speak to my daughter anymore on Saturdays. So…but that's okay.
 
It's an honor to be with you. And…you know, I've devoted so much time over my life…to Israel. And…the other politicians, they can talk but believe me, they haven't done what I've done. I've received many, many awards.
 
I was the Grand Marshal…I was the Grand Marshal of the Israeli Day Parade, at a very dangerous time, when people said, ‘Don't do it. Don't do it!’ I walked up Fifth Avenue. I'm looking up for…lots of trouble. But I said, ‘No way am I not going to do it’. And it was a rough time, as you know. It was 2004. And…it was a tremendously successful parade. Maybe their most successful parade that they ever had……–CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
So…I'm in a different position than the other candidates, because I'm the one candidate…I don't want any of your money. I want your support, but I don't want your money. I'm self-funding my campaign. It's been…an amazing experience for me, because…I have very little money invested so far. I thought by this time I'd have about 30 million in ads. And I have none! Although I took a small radio commercial the other day in Iowa. But I…we have virtually no money in invested in…ads or advertising. And I think you, as business people, will…feel pretty good about this and…respect it! At first, I was embarrassed by that. I said, ‘You know, I think we're gonna have to spend money just to spend money’, but it's…not really like…a good thing to do…because…I am in first place by a lot. It's not even close. Every single poll, every single state. The numbers just came in three minutes ago. in New Hampshire, the PPP poll. ‘Trump’ at 27. The next one is 13, 10, 9, 8. 5, and the rest are off the board. They have to drop out pretty soon I guess, right?
 
Most importantly, ‘favorability’…no, I still like them…the top number the most but… ‘favorability’ is now at 50 to 39, which is good. And I beat Hillary in the FOX poll as you see very easily, 46 to 41. That's ultimately the most important……–CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
And…you know, I've been a tremendous…fan. And I've been a tremendous contributor. I've given a lot of money recently to Hatzalah, a 100,000 dollars, emergency response. They do a fantastic…–CROWD APPLAUDS–…they do a fantastic job.
 
And my father, Fred, was always a big supporter. So I…I grew up in that environment. I grew up…in Brooklyn, Queens, and…Israel was always very paramount in our mind. In fact, I've been sometimes criticized…because I received so many awards from Jewish groups. And they look at my wall. It's loaded up. And…but now the Christians are catching up, I have to tell you…–CROWD LAUGHS. My Christians are liking me a lot lately, and they've been great. They have been great.
 
So, Obama…is the worst thing that's ever happened to Israel. The worst. The worst... –CROWD APPLAUDS. And…And when I see…great friends of mine, who are very, very pro-Israel, very…I mean, they love Israel. They love it with passion. And they're having fundraisers for Obama. I said, "What are you doing?’. And it's almost like…they answer me and they say, ‘We don't know…–CROWD LAUGHS. ‘He comes to New York, we don't know. We don't know’." I said he's a disaster.
 
I really believe the Iran deal…look, I'm a negotiator, like you folks. We're negotiators. We don't build gas stations in the middle of…as you know, Afghanistan for 43 million…can you imagine this!? A small gas station…43 million dollars! And then they used the wrong kind of terminal…because they don't sell that type of gas! –CROWD LAUGHS. Okay!? 43 million for a gas station…–CROWD LAUGHS. How many think they could have done it for less? Would you raise your hands please!? –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
But…I look at Obama, I look at that deal…what we gave…to Iran…150 billion dollars! They don't need to develop nuclear weapons; they can buy them…–CROWD LAUGHS. They can buy them. It's true! Why do they have to develop them? They can buy them. We gave them 150 billion dollars. They go out and in terms of…ehm…ehm…you know, surveillance, they have the right to self-inspect. How about that!? On their major, most dangerous, they can self-inspect! We're gonna let them self-inspect. And then you have of course the 24 days. But the 24 days…we're all good with contracts, don't start until such and such happens. It could be forever before you ever go into inspect.
 
And we don't even get our prisoners back! And now they wanna start a negotiation to get the prisoners back! And they want 19 people…for our three! They don't wanna give us our four…you know we have four, but they only wanna ‘talk three’. Now, that should have been negotiated right at the beginning! Three years ago! –CROWD APPLAUDS. And maybe better than any audience, I mean, the people in this room understand what I'm saying. It should have been…you walk in…by the way, did you ever see a negotiation take so long? And we conceded on every single…we didn't win anything! We didn't win anything! But that should have been with our prisoners…day one, whatever it is…years ago… ‘we have to get our prisoners back. You don't want them! We need them! It will make us look better! Both…everybody is gonna like us more. With the American public…any deal that we strike, it's gonna look…good!
 
And you say that, ‘We have to get our prisoners back’. Day one. They're gonna say, ‘No, we're not giving’. And we're gonna say, ‘Bye bye! Bye! Call us when you're ready’…–CROWD APPLAUDS. And then we go out and double up and triple up the sanctions. I guarantee you within 48 hours they're calling, begging us to come back to the table, and you have your prisoners back. It's so easy.
 
Now, the president…–CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY–…you saw that, and John Kerry…who is probably the worst negotiator I've ever seen…–CROWD APPLAUDS. No, he's the worst negotiator I've ever seen. He did not read The Art of the Deal, folks, I can tell you that…–CROWD LAUGHS. Now, he's one of the few. He's one of the…you know…biggest selling of all time! …business book of all time, he didn't read it. And Obama definitely didn't read it! Obama! Ay, ay, ay…–CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS–…oh!
 
But they said…this is hard to believe, but this is what they said! …a lot of press back there, so I have to say everything…exactly correct…because if I don't I end up with a…–CROWD LAUGHS. They said we didn't wanna complicate the negotiations, by asking for the prisoners. It's really complicated. ‘We want our prisoners back’, oh, so complicated. They said they didn't wanna complicate…
So now, we're going to end up making a new deal probably at some point. I'll tell you this, look…I'll just tell you this: If I win…before I take office…I guarantee you those prisoners are gonna be back. They're gonna be back, I guarantee you…–CROWD APPLAUDS. They're gonna be back.
 
Now, our president doesn't wanna use the term. We had another event, which probably was…the one yesterday. Probably was related. It always happens! But it probably was. When I heard about it, I figured maybe not. But it turns out probably –IT– was related. Radical Islamic terrorism. And I'll tell you what, we have a president that refuses…to…use…the term. He refuses to say. There's something going on with him that we don't know about…–CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
Now, as far as Hillary's concerned, she's gotta go with what he wants. She shouldn't be allowed to run. What she did is…criminal, with the emails…–CROWD APPLAUDS–…no, she shouldn't be allowed to run. She's going to have to follow…his line…because…she's on a thread. You know, look, in real life…? …his Attorney General, his U.S. Attorney, his Attorney General. So his Attorney General is gonna listen to him…in my opinion, I think it's very dishonest what's going on with our government. General –MR. TRUMP REFERS TO THE GENERAL MR. DAVID PETRAEUS–…Petraeus was given a life-changing sentence. Other people have been sent to jail! Petraeus was…you know, essentially…look, I don't wanna get into it, with the poor guy. What he went…for nothing…! …compared to what she did, for nothing. For 5 percent of what she did!
 
And…Obama, I mean, she can't go against him. Because only does boom, she gets indicted. That's the end of it. That's the end of it…–CROWD APPLAUDS. So when you see Hillary…backing up virtually everything he says, and he's got control of her. I mean, it's just total control. But I'll tell you what, she shouldn't be allowed to run. What she did was a criminal act. And…remember this, this is a six-year…you have a six-year statute of limitations. So she's fighting for her life. If she doesn't got…become president, she could have a real problem. Does that make any sense to anybody? Huh? …–CROWD LAUGHS. Does that make sense to anybody? –CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY.
 
Because what she did was just wrong! Okay? And…you know, she's been involved in corruption…her whole life! Whether it's…Whitewater…I mean, her whole life is corruption…–CROWD APPLAUDS. She was a horrible…she was a horrible Secretary of State. She did a horrible job, other than traveled a lot. She traveled a lot, nothing ever got done. The whole…the world blew up around her! It blew up! Five hundred to six hundred calls and emails, and everything…from…our ambassador, asking for help…and she didn't respond! The truth is she doesn't have the strength, or…the energy. She responded to her friends! You know the friends we're talking about. Some of those friends are, you know…sort of an interesting……–CROWD LAUGHS…–CROWD LAUGHS …sort of an interesting friends going on there. But she responded –CROWD MUTTERS AND LAUGHS…–CROWD LAUGHS–…yeah, you get that, right!? –CROWD APPLAUDS. A–…lot of people don't get that! But she responded to a friend, but she doesn't respond…she doesn’t to an ambassador that's asking for help. Hundreds…! …hundreds…of requests! …and she doesn't respond.
 
Now, remember this. I go every night to someplace. I mean, yesterday I was in Manassas, Virginia, we had an unbelievable…crowd. The other day I was in…in Florida, we had 12,000 people in Sarasota. At 12 p.m., with the football games going on. 12,000 people! The convention center held 5,000. So we had thousands outside. I made a speech outside. I made two speeches...I had to do two speeches. I said, ‘You can't get me a larger convention center so I can do one speech?’ My people said, ‘No, this is the biggest on’. We set a record, a big record. We set a record everywhere. We beat the record of Elton John…–CROWD LAUGHS. It's true! Elton John! I'm…I’m no longer competing with politicians. I'm competing with the…musical talent! One of the great musicians said, ‘you get the largest crowds of any single human being on Earth without a guitar’…–CROWD LAUGHS–…meaning…who doesn't count on music.
 
So it's true. We've had tremendous response. We've had incredible response. I think…you know, if you look at what's going on…and I think, based on the response, based on the polls…again I…I don't want your money, therefore you're probably gonna support me! …because stupidly you wanna get money. ‘Trump’ doesn't want money. Therefore, we can't…even though he's better than all these guys. Even though he's gonna do more for Israel than anybody else. Even though Bibi Netanyahu asked me to do a commercial for him and I did and he won his race, so I was very happy about that…–CROWD APPLAUDS. But he asked me to do a commercial.
 
And they said I…I was the only celebrity. I don't know if that's…but they said I'm the only celebrity. I don't know. I'm not a celebrity. See now I'm a politician. I'm so embarrassed by that term…–CROWD LAUGHS. You know, my how life I've been a business, I've been a developer…I've employed tens of thousands of people…over my lifetime. I have unbelievable statements and unbelievable…company.
 
A lot of people said, ‘Oh, he'll never file’. This…Joe, get a kick out of: ‘He'll never run, because he'll never wanna file…various papers’. And then, ‘he'll never…file this and that’. And then you'd have to sign your life away. The first paper, we all know about first papers. You sign your life away. That's the end of it. He did it.
 
Then they said, ‘Well, he'll never sign…and he'll never file his financials, because who knows, maybe he's not as rich as people think’. So I filed my financials, almost 100 pages. The biggest ever filed by the…federal elections. And everybody said, ‘Oh my, he’s much bigger, and much stronger and…holy mackerel! Look at these numbers!’…–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
And the…what they don’t know, If I didn't run, I'd probably would have filed anyway, because…I…you know, I built a great company, and I like to brag about it whenever possible! It's true! …–CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS.
 
Some of the greatest assets…Doral, you know, Doral. And…and Turnberry in Scotland, and Trump Tower, and…many buildings in Manhattan now. It…just many…Bank of America building in San Francisco, with a …real partner and…so many other buildings and things...and the reason I bring that up it’s cause that's the kind of thinking we need. And I don't bring it up as braggadocio. I bring it up because that's the kind of thinking…we need…in this country to bring us back! We have people that don't know the first thing about the word negotiation. I can take anybody in this office…believe me! …and they're better than Obama, and they're better than Kerry, and they're better than…they…they’re…foolish people…they’re foolish people! It's so embarrassing when you see what happens!
 
Sergeant Bergdahl, all right? Sergeant Bergdahl! …we get a traitor, they get five of the greatest killers that they've wanted for nine years. You know, the deal was five for one. And they knew he was a traitor before we made the deal! You know about Sergeant Bergdahl. He deserted! Six people were killed…trying to get him back. They were looking for him.
 
The general and the colonel went to see all those people, they said, ‘No, he deserted. He was a traitor’. And we still made the deal! So we get a traitor…we can give him back! Do you wanna re…re-negotiate deals!? Some of us will re-negotiate deals. I would say about 99.9…–CROWD LAUGHS–…is there anybody that doesn't re-negotiate deals in this room!? This room negotiates all…I wanna re-negotiate…–CROWD LAUGHS–…this room! Perhaps more than any room than I've ever spoken…–CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. Maybe more. It's okay! I've been called on that a couple of times too.
 
But the fact is…–CROWD LAUGHS–…I wanna renegotiate that deal. I wanna drop him right smack in the middle of where he came from. The hell…where they can have him, even if we don't get the five guys back, cause that's not gonna happen! Cause you know where they are right now? They're right now all in the battlefield, fighting us…and trying to kill us…and kill anybody that gets in! So they get their five guys that they've wanted…! …for nine years they've wanted them! And we get a dirty rotten traitor. But that's the way our…that’s the way our people negotiate! They're stupid people. Okay!? They're stupid people! –CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS.  It's very sad. It's very sad.
 
So…I'll just tell you that…I'm gonna win…–CROWD LAUGHS. I am! I'm gonna win! I mean, unless something happens…you know, walk across the street, the wrong thing happens. But I'll tell you what, I have a great secret service. You know, it’s nice when you're number one, they give you a secret service. I never saw so many people…–CROWD APPLAUDS–…talented people, great people!
 
But I believe I'm going to win. I really have…have just a great feeling about it. And…you know, my life has been about winning. I've won! And my life has been about winning! And that's what I wanna do for the country! And if people say about my company, and deals…! … ‘and you can do this deal, or that deal…’. I have no interest! It's like…!
 
The other day…Ivanka. She's doing so great. ‘Dad, we can buy this wonderful office building’. And I said, ‘Honey, who cares? I don’t…I’m…I have…how can you talk to me about such trivial things, Ivanka!? …–CROWD LAUGHS. It's amazing! See? …now I'm dealing in trillions. I've never heard of trillions before! You know, with this …we owe 19 trillion dollars!
 
We just signed a budget that's so bad! And the Republicans…! …you know, well we know the…we know where the Democrats are coming from. But these Republican politicians…they go to Washington, and they're gonna end Obamacare, which I'm doing, by the way. I'm ending up, terminating, it's gonna be repealed, and replaced with something much better…–CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
But…they go to Washington. And they're ‘gonna do this, and they're gonna do budgets…’, like…you know, I heard the guy before, ‘oh, we're gonna work in the budget’…–MR. TRUMP MOCKS THEM THROUGH THE TONE AND GESTURES AND THE CROWD LAUGHS.
 
It's all about that. What happens is…they're gonna do budgets, and ‘we’re gonna do this, and that…’. And I tell this story: then they walk into the Capitol Building, which is magnificent. And they look up: ‘Darling, oh my! Look at those columns! Look at the ceiling! Look at the angels! Oh, look at these magnificent floors!’. They've never seen anything like it. ‘We've arrived. This is incredible!?’. And then they become mainstream, they’ll…they’ll…vote on Obamacare, ‘yes, I vote’…–MR. TRUMP RAISES HIS HAND AS IN A SIGN OF VOTING. THE CROWD LAUGHS. They don't wanna leave…–CROWD LAUGHS. They lose all of their courage. I wanna use a nice word, cause otherwise they'd get reported for foul language…–CROWD LAUGHS. They lose all of their courage, and they've let us down! That won't happen with me.
 
So, again, you're not gonna support me, even though you know I'm the best thing that could ever happen to Israel. And I…I…I'll be that. And the reason…I know why you're not gonna support me. And you know, you're not gonna support me because I don't want your money. It…isn't it crazy? …–CROWD LAUGHS. No, it's true! You know, if I wanted to have your money, I think I'd have a damn good chance. And I think I'd get more money than anybody else. Do you know the money I have turned down!? This has not been my life, turning down money…–CROWD LAUGHS. Guys wanna give me millions! I would have made…poor Jeb Bush! I mean, this poor guy, with his low energy. It's…sad! …–CROWD LAUGHS. No, but it's sad! I came up with that term, it became so defining. It's like having it on his forehead, ‘I am low energy’…–CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. No, no, it's sad! He raised 125 million dollars, which means he's controlled totally! Totally controlled! …by the people that gave him the money. That's why you don't wanna give me money, okay? But that's okay! You wanna control your own politician. That's fine. Good. Fine. I will tell you…–CROWD LAUGHS–…think about that, folks. Don't worry about me.
 
I understand! Hey, I…five months ago, I was with you …–CROWD LAUGHS. Who's better than me!? …–CROWD APPLAUDS. Who is better than me!? I gave 350,000 dollars to the Republican Governors Association. I never even gotten a letter of ‘thank you’…–CROWD MUTTERS. It's true! 350,000! I didn't receive one letter…not one letter…from one governor! It’s stupid! The good thing is…I don't give any…why would I give any more? You don't get a thank you letter…–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
Politicians…remember this, politicians forget. Politicians generally aren't competent. And the one thing they are good at is getting elected, and that's what you're gonna end up having. But I would love your support…but I don't want your money. And I appreciate it. Now, let's take some questions. Okay? Good! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
He’s saying, ‘that was a little bit different than the other guys. And he does a great job by the way’…–MR. TRUMP TALKS TO THE HOST WHO IS TO HIS RIGHT SIDE.
 
THE HOST OF THE CEREMONY MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.19.19:
 
I’m glad he reminded me! …–CROWD LAUGHS. I didn’t wanna do that. You know what…honestly? Ehm…I’m building a tremendous hotel down the road…–CROWD CHEERS AND LAUGHS. He…he…you know what? He’s…he’s so…he’s actually given me…actually, it’s a much better question. But I'm gonna go there right after this. I have to go through on it. You know, you have to watch to make sure that the contractors aren't stealing, and ripping you off, and everything else…–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
So…but, to show you how important this forum is, and how important the country is to me, and how important Israel is to me…it's so important, I don't mention my projects. I don’t! It's not like…very important to me anymore. What's really important to me is…the United States and making it great again. My theme is Make America Great Again. I mean, it's taken off like crazy. The hats…the…it's going crazy! …–CROWD LAUGHS. But it happens to be a great…but you know, some of these guys try to copy it! But I had it trademarked, cause we're smart…–CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS.
 
A couple of them got up! No, they see…I was…I was making this speech, and everybody stood up… ‘Make America great again!’ …they started to copy it, but nobody stood up to them. But we sent them a little notice, ‘don't use that term. We've trademarked it’. Can you imagine!? I got the approval!? ……–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
But, I…we are. We're building a great hotel down the road. I hope you all stay. And…it's gonna be wonderful...Come on, let’s go, get a couple of questions……–CROWD LAUGHS.

THE HOST OF THE CEREMONY MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP INTERRUPTS. Minute 00.20.50:
 
Yeah, well, I…I raised questions…yeah, I…I love…
 
Yeah.
 
Right.

THE HOST OF THE CEREMONY MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP INTERRUPTS. Minute 00.21.02:

Okay. I’ll tell you exactly.
 
So…I was interviewed yesterday by a whole…group of reporters from APM, and they did a good joy, very fair story. And, one of the questions was about Israel and…the Palestinians…what it…what’s gonna happen. I said… ‘I use that as an example of some deals that are…’, maybe the hardest deal ever in history to make of any kind. Can…can we think of any tough…? …we all have tough deals, right? You know, we have some good…some… ‘is that Sam!?’ –MR. TRUMP INTERRUPTS HIS SPEECH TO SAY HELLO TO SOMEONE AT THE FRONT ROW OFF CAMERA. How are you Sam!? Good man! Good man! Very nice to see you! Sam…I have…I know everybody in this audience…–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
But…but, I said, ‘people are gonna have to make sacrifices one way or the other’. I believe… cause I'm a dealmaker. I believe…that I can…put both sides together. But I said, ‘it'll take six months’. At the end of six months, and maybe sooner…cause…you know, with us we have a deal instinct. A lot of us. And you can walk into a room, and you can almost tell like in two seconds whether or not…whether or not…you're gonna make a deal.
 
I will know very quickly whether or not I'll be able to put that deal together. I used that in this interview as an example of perhaps the hardest deal in history to put together. There's probably no tougher deal! If I could do that, it would make me so happy…cause there's so much violence, so much death, and just been going on for so many years!
 
Now, I said, you have to have a commitment to make it. I don't know that Israel has the commitment to make it. And I don't know that the other side has the commitment to make it.
 
With that being said…you know, I have a good chance of winning, because you look at what's going on…and so I have a good chance. I don't like to, as a dealmaker, give away a lot of cards by talking about how I feel about this or that. I'd rather save it for that moment when you walk into the room. I don't want one side or the other saying…
Look, I think people know where I stand. Okay!? But it wouldn’t…wouldn't it…be great if they could make a deal? But a last thing deal, a real deal. Not a phony deal that's gonna last a week and then…bad things started happening again.
 
I'd love to…and I will give it. You know Obama’s….as you know, he said, it won't happen during what..., meaning he had…he gave up on this before it even started. But I think it would be a great thing for Israel. I think it would be a great thing, actually. For both sides. If a real deal could be made. And I'm gonna give it my best. I'm a great dealmaker. That's what I do! I made a lot of money! I'm gonna give it my best. It would be great if that deal could be made. Okay?
 
THE HOST OF THE CEREMONY MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.23.25:

Obama…wait! Israel has given a lot…! And…a lot of people don't know that. I think…the public relations for Israel hasn't been so great, cause Israel's given a lot! But hasn't been…given a lot of credit for what they've given. And…I don’t know if you’d agree with that…–CROWD APPLAUDS. So…In fact, some things have been given, which were unthinkable! And…lot of turmoil it caused in Israel! There were things give. But I'd like to go in with a clean slate, and just say, ‘let's go. Everybody's even. We love everybody, and let's see if we could do something’. But…I do think this, and I do think right from the beginning, and that…one of the reasons I'm saying it now, even though…perhaps it comes back to haunt me later on…it has to be said that Israel has given a lot. I don't know whether or not they wanna go that final…step. You know, and…that's…gonna be up to them. But Israel has not been given the credit that they deserve for what they've done. I will say that. I will say that. So…that's it. Okay…–CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
THE HOST OF THE CEREMONY MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP INTERRUPTS. Minute 00.24.25:
 
Sure. Sure. Yeah. Go ahead.
 
You know what I wanna do? I wanna wait until I meet with Bibi…–MEANING BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, THE PRIME MINISTER OF ISRAEL. You know, I'm leaving for Israel in a very short period of time…– CROWD BOOS. I know. I know what you're saying! I just wanna...I just…I know what you’re saying…you're not gonna be…who’s…who's the wise guy? –MR. TRUMP REFERS TO THE PERSON BOOING. THE CROWD LAUGHS AS MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES THEM.
 
Do me a favor. Just relax. Okay? You'll like me very much, believe me…– CROWD LAUGHS. Okay? And you wonder why you get yourself in trouble. All right? You're gonna like me very much. It's gonna be fine.
 
But again, you can't go in with that…if you're gonna make a deal, and you could make a great deal! You can't go in with the attitude. We're gonna shove it down. You gotta go in and get it, and do it, and do it nicely, so everyone's happy! Don't worry about it, you're gonna be very happy. Okay? Don't worry about it…–CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
Go ahead.

I…I think he's a very good man. I think he's been treated very badly. I think that our president has been unbelievably rude to Bibi. I…I don't know how many people like Bibi…–CROWD APPLAUDS–…but I think he's been unbelievably rude. And…! …I mean, we'll talk about deals after the fact, which is a shame, but I think the Iran deal is the worst single thing…perhaps…it'll go down. And I've been pretty good at predicting things. I think it's gonna go down as the worst single thing that's ever happened to Israel. I think it's a catastrophe for Israel. And I think the fact that Obama was willing to make that deal…for anybody that loves Israel, to support this guy, or even the Democratic Party…is…is…impossible to believe. I think it will be one of the great catastrophes…–CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
But if I get in, I will straighten it out, believe me. It's gonna be straightened out. It's gonna be straightened out tough, and it's gonna be straightened out fast. The one bad thing is if I get in, the 150 billion is gone. That hurts me. And that hurts the people in this room. But the 150 billion dollars is gone! Because it'll be gone before you get there. You know, we're…we’re talking about a year…and more, actually. Although the election…very quick! You know, it's coming up. It's now less than a year, and you know…we have the…Iowa starts…on February 1st, and then we go right down the line, and it's very exciting! We're talking about a couple of months now for it to start. For a person like me, I mean, it's very exciting.

MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.24.25:
 
Well, I haven't been working too much with the Arab leaders, to be honest with you. Okay? You know, I told you, I made commercials for Bibi, I don't know if that's gonna help me in the negotiation, I can tell you…–CROWD LAUGHS. You know, I'm trying to keep it nice and level, right? Then I get people screaming at me. But…ehm…I…I'm trying to keep it as level as possible, but…I…for the most part don't know.
 
Ehm…the King of Jordan seems like a nice man. I mean, I don't know. We’re gonna see…–CROWD LAUGHS. We're gonna see. A lot of people like him. Some people don't. But I think I will probably be able…what…my history is…you know, I took some heat because I get along with Democrats, I get along with liberals, I get along with conservatives, I get along with Republicans. I get along with everybody. That's what I was! I'm a businessperson! I get along with everybody! We have to get along with everybody!
 
And I took some heat, and I always explained that. I said, ‘wait a minute, I'm a businessperson! I gotta get along with everybody!’ I live in Manhattan! It's all Democrat. I mean, it's virtually all…they…republicans don't even run people, for the most part. And if they do…they’re gonna get…you know, they are a 5 percent. They get a very small percentage of the vote. Gotta get along with everybody! I think that's gonna be a tremendous asset! Because right now, we have gridlock…in Washington! We have people that…they don't talk.
 
You know, I remember…that years ago, cause I've always…I’ve been a very political person always. You know, on the other side but always very political. But years ago, the Republicans and the Democrats…they used to like each other. They'd get along. They'd have dinner together. They'd argue, and they'd fight, and they'd disagree and would have…you know, different views and things. But…in the evening, they'd go out and they'd have dinner together with their families! You don't see that anymore! There's total hatred and there's total gridlock!
 
I'll give you one point, which I think is important. Corporate inversions, right? So you have companies leaving the United States, and they're leaving cause of better taxes, and better a…a lot of things. A lot of things are better. But they're leaving. Pfizer. How good is Pfizer!? Thousands and thousands of jobs are gonna be lost! But they're also leaving cause we have 2.5 trillion dollars…! …at least! …I think it's a much higher number than that. 2.5 trillion dollars…that's…out of the country, that these companies can't get back! Because of bureaucracy, and horrible…trade…you know, horrible agreements. But, because the taxes are too high. They're so onerous that nobody in this room would agree to pay that much money…to get your money out. So they leave it over there, and they actually take the company! And they move the company to the money! Because that's how much money.
 
The Republicans and the Democrats totally agree…that the money should come back. For three years…they can't get a deal! There's no leadership. It's gridlock.
 
There's an example of something where everybody agrees. All the people that you see up here, they all agree. But they can't get it done! Because they're politicians, they're all talk, they're no action.
 
So there's something and it's so important. It's not like something where they don't…get…agree. Like there's big disputes and we understand that. This is something everybody agrees! The money should pour into this country, and we should use the money and all the things…taxes paid…
 
But…they agree, and they can't get it done. Because of gridlock, and incompetent…leadership. Okay.

MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.29.47:
 
You know…honestly? I don't think anybody can say! She says she is, but now she says all of a sudden maybe less so than you thought, because she's going very, very far over to the other side. I mean, Bernie Sanders has brought her…to positions that she didn't wanna be at. You look at some of the things that she's saying right now…
 
But I'll tell you what: whether she is or not, she doesn't have the strength or the energy to help Israel. I'm telling you, she doesn't…–CROWD APPLAUDS. And…and…and…I said it! But…but just take a look! She'll come out, and do an event, and you don't see her for another four days, three days, five days…–CROWD LAUGHS. No, it's true! Think of it! We don't need…some people say, ‘it's not nice to say she doesn't have the strength or the energy’. Israel needs more than just our support. They need strength! They need real power behind them. Cause you know, you look at…as…as these countries fall over there…Israel's looking more and more…ten…you know, Israel has some difficulties!
 
And one thing and I think you'll all admit it. These people are fighting really dirty! But they fight a lot better than we used to think. Right? We used to think ‘oh, that was easy!’. Fifteen years ago…with my friends from Israel, cause I have a lot of friends from Israel. They used to smile and laugh, ‘oh, don't worry about it’. Now they're saying, ‘these guys are…they're dirty fighters!’. And they're not bad! You know, they're tough! They're not the JV! Okay? Obama said, ‘they're the JV’. They're not the JV folks. We need tough! We need…General George Patton. We need General MacArthur! We don't need the guys we have. I see them on television…generals! I don't want my generals on television! Saying ‘well, ISIS is very tough’. I saw a guy the other day: ‘ISIS is very tough; I don't know….’. I don't need that!  Do you think General George Patton…? They don't like him because he was a foul mouth, vicious, horrible, brilliant guy. So he would never make it. They probably would have had him thrown out years ago.
 
But we need Patton! We need a genius, like MacArthur. And we have those people! We have those people! I'll find that person! But we're going to knock the crap out of them! I'll tell you what: we're gonna win! We're gonna win! …–CROWD APPLAUDS. We're going to win!

MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.32.06:
 
Well, I think radical Islam right now is…–CROWD APPLAUDS. And I…I…I feel that's the greatest. And again, we have a president who refuses to use the term. But radical Islam is…ehm…I'll tell you one thing I know it isn't…? …it’s global warming! –CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. That's the one thing. No, no! That’s the one thing I know isn't.
 
I mean, we have a guy that just the other day said…that global…here they wanna blow everything…this is right after Paris! They wanna blow our…cities up! They wanna destroy our civilization! And he's worried about global warming, which a lot of people think is a hoax. By the way, I won so many environmental awards…shockingly! …–CROWD LAUGHS. No, it's true! And you know what I do want? I want really immaculate air. I want clean, crystal water. I want a lot of things. Okay? I want a lot of things!
 
But global warming…you noticed they changed the name? They go ‘global warming’, they go ‘climate change’, they go…now it’s sort of a lot…I hear a lot of ‘extreme weather’. How can you miss with ‘extreme weather’, right? …–CROWD LAUGHS If it's cold, it's okay! If it's hot, it's okay! If it's windy! If it's hot…! If you have to…! …everything is ‘extreme’! So now they use ‘extreme weather’. It is a disgrace what's going on.
 
And to have this man embarrass us by standing up, and saying, that global warming is our biggest threat…? We gotta get him out so fast! And thank goodness we only have a year left! …–CROWD APPLAUDS. Thank you. Thank you very much everybody.
