Wow!

Thank you very much!

This is amazing! And I wanna thank Bill and Travis. Where's Bill and Travis? They own this place. They gave us a very good deal. You know what it is? Nothing! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Where are they!? Where are they!? –MR. TRUMP SEES THEM–… ‘Thank you fellas! Thank you for…thank you very much! Beautiful! Nice facility! Nice facility!’.
 
They said they've never had a thing like this before. That's true! We went to three or four places, and every time we'd sign up, there was so many more people that we thought it was just an amazing experience. And…you know, we all started in Phoenix, where…I had that big event. We had the big event…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND MR. TRUMP RESPONDS–… ‘Thank you! Thank you! I love you! I love you folks!’…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…love you! Amazing!
 You know? We all want the same thing! We…want…to make…America…great…again! I mean, it's like…we want the same thing! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Amazing!
 
Last night, I don't…I'm sure nobody watched the debate last night, right? –CROWD CHEERS AND LAUGHS. Nobody. Nobody in this crowd. This is a very…ehm…apolitical crowd. No, we had a little debate. So, I'll bet you they got big ratings. I’ll bet…

You know, I called up the head of CNN, I said, ‘your ratings are through the roof’. I think next time I won't do it. I wanna maybe not do the next debate, just to see it tank! You know!? And then I'll do the one…–CROWD CHEERS. But these debates have been…ehm…they've become Super Bowls in a sense. It's been amazing! Do you know that last cycle…no…network even…wanted the debates. They were considered a wasteland! Nobody watched it. Very few people watching. And now FOX had 24 million, which is now, actually higher with the final numbers, but 24 million…the largest ever in cable television.
 
CNN had 23 million…the…biggest…event…in the history…in terms of numbers! In terms of people watching…in the history of CNN! I mean, CNN, in all fairness…? …they cover wars, they cover lots of different things, some problems…some big events. In the history of CNN…23 million, according to CNN, was the biggest event they've ever had. And you know what I get out of it? Nothing! Nothing! …–CROWD LAUGHS. And think of it! Think of it: four years ago…nobody cared! Do you remember the debates four years ago? Did anybody even watch!? …–CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’.
 
So…we have to take advantage of what we can. You know…so last night was interesting…because, number one I made a pledge, because it's just so much easier…so much easier ! We're gonna…you know, it's hard to…they're saying… ‘are you gonna run as an independent!?’. I said, ‘you know? I just got a poll where I'm at 41. And other guys are at 2, and 3, and 7…’…–CROWD LAUGHS–… IT–… ‘doesn't make a lot of sense!’. ‘Oh, I think I'll leave now, and…I'll run as an independent…!’…–MR. TRUMP SAYS THAT SARCASTICALLY. THE CROWD LAUGHS. You know, it's amazing. It's amazing! No, it’s amazing!
 
You know, I did Meet the Press…–AN AMERICAN TELEVISION SHOW–…a…couple of months ago. And I was doing great! I was number one. I've been number one…by the way! …since I went…there all talking about it! In the history of politics, they say…this isn't me! …it's those people, who I don't trust worth any…–CROWD LAUGHS–…but…you know, I go through this all the time, and I always said, although today I think the fact that I did Bill O'Reilly…–ANOTHER AMERICAN TELEVISION SHOW–…in that corner, they had no choice but to follow. But they never show the crowd size! You know that, right?
 
I always talk about it. I’d go home, my wife said, ‘did you have many people?’. Because they just don't show the crowd! They show my face! They never show the crowd! Unless…and I used to think the cameras were like fixed. That they can't move! …you know!? Modern cameras! A lot of them…they don't work like the old cameras, right?
 
And then all of a sudden we'll have like a protester, in the back corner. And you'll see these cameras twisted like a pretzel! –CROWD LAUGHS. It's unbelievable! But I think today…look at all of them back there! Look at those cameras! They…they are the worst…people! …–CROWD BOOS AND LAUGHS. The worst. The worst. The worst!  No, they're very dishonest. Not all of them! 70, 75 percent…–CROWD LAUGHS. It’s true! And some are very good, but you have so…many…dishonest…reporters. I've…I’ve never said…in fact, it's almost amazing to me…cause I consider myself to get the worst publicity…and yet I've got this massive lead! And…it tells you two things: they're dishonest, and the people are really smart! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, they're really smart! –CROWD YELLS OUT ‘YES!’, CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
I mean, I'll get stories that are so bad! And then they'll come back, ‘Mr. Trump, Sir, your polls just went up seven points’. I’d say, ‘how can that be possible!?’…–CROWD LAUGHS.  People get it! They know the press is dishonest. It's a…it's a whole big con job.
 
So…ehm…it's one of those…in fact, in Phoenix…! …I…–DO– you remember the crowds!? Was anybody in Phoenix? Right!? It was like this! It was…we had 15,000 people. They reported it at 4,000, and then 2,000! And then…what’s his name? Bernie Sanders. He's gonzo now. He's gone. He lost it when he said, ‘Hillary's fine with the emails’, and she's not fine with the emails! That was really…breaking the law, folks. Okay?
 
So he doesn't get big crowds anymore. But he was there…a little bit before, or after…his crowd…we have pictures! His crowds…my crowds! His crowd was much lighter than mine. He had a lot of people! But it was much lighter. And they say, ‘he had more than Trump’. Not that it matters, but it's just…dishonest reporting. It's one of those things. Okay.
 
Now, last night…so, oh! I had Jeb come at me. You know, low energy…–CROWD LAUGHS AND BOOS. No, I'm standing there, and all of a sudden I hear this, you know, ‘Donald Trump did this…’… you know, it's just like…–CROWD LAUGHS. He wrote…he’d…he said it…just the way…his pollster told him to say it…–CROWD YELLS ‘YEAH!’. And then I hit back very, very hard…but…look: we need strong people. We need sharp people. We are being killed! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We are being beaten by everybody! We're not winning anymore! And I finished up by saying it! We aren't winning anymore! We don't win on trade! We don't win against ISIS! We don't win with a military! Our Vets are being mistreated so badly it's horrible! Horrible!
 
So…I just wanna go over this. So here we are. Ready!? –MR. TRUMP GETS A KIND OF A ‘TRUMP’ FLYER AND REACTS TO IT–… ‘oh, really? –MR. TRUMP LAUGHS. They're complaining! …–MR. TRUMP REFERS TO THE CROWD RIGHT BEHIND HIM. Actually…don't complain, you're gonna be the only ones that anyone's gonna see on television tonight…–CROWD LAUGHS. You know, in a certain way they have the best location. You'll be happy tonight when you're watching yourself on television.
 
So last night. So they do all these polls, and it's great. They poll everything. You know, I…ehm…it's amazing to me. The candidates go out and spend hundreds of thousands for pollsters, right? I don't! I…I got a lot of money, and…it doesn't matter. I have like…unlimited campaign. And…and yet…now, think of this! Think of this! Think of this!
 
So….Jeb Bush, to this point, has spent over 40 million dollars for ads. He’s at two! Two! –CROWD LAUGHS. ‘Donald Trump’, till this point, has spent…two hundred…and eleven thousand dollars. I don't even know why I spent it. I think I wanted to give some…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, it's true! And I am at number one by a lot! By 27…30 points…I'm a lot! So think of it: wouldn't it be nice…if we could do that for our country? Think of it…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So…I spent the least, and I have the best result. Unlike…–CROWD CHEERS–…right? Unlike our students, where…we’re number one in the world, by far, in terms of cost…per pupil, and we're number 28 in the world. Okay? …–MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP RESPONDS–… ‘you're right. I think I like that guy, right?’…–CROWD CHEERS.
 
But no, no, think of it, cause it's like the reverse. So I spent the least. Now I'm gonna spend a lot of money! But I was going to have spent, up till this point, 35 million dollars. I thought I'd need to spend…you know, what do I know? And these guys…I…you know, as much as I can't stand them, they give me all this free publicity…–CROWD LAUGHS. No! It’s true, right? If…if I put an ad on, people would get sick! They’d say, ‘oh, my god, we had the whole program, and now we have ads!’. We actually…please don't put the ad! We actually call networks, ‘please don't put that in!’. You know, they cover you for a full hour, and then every 12 minutes, they have an ad for ‘Trump’. No, it doesn't work.
 
So I was going to have…35 million spent…up, literally right up to this point. And I spent nothing. I haven't spent anything. But we're ready to spend. I mean, we're ready to spend. And we're gonna spend a lot.
 
And…I think we're gonna win Iowa. We just came out, where we're leading in Iowa now…which is a great…place…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But this I love, because this just came out, …ehm…Drudge! Now, this is with 15 people, right? Drudge is great. How good is Drudge, right!? Great guy. He's a great guy. So they do these online polls, where they have hundreds of thousands of people. So…they vote. Somebody would say, ‘oh, well they're not reliable, because maybe “Trump” phoned…’. You know, they have hundreds of thousands…!? Do you think I'm gonna have my people sit there, make hundreds of thousands of phone call!? –CROWD LAUGHS. And then they don't report it anyway if I win, because if I win they don't report it!
 
They have these guys like…George Will, you fall asleep listening to this guy…–CROWD LAUGHS. George Will…uhg! …–MR. TRUMP SIGHTS REPRESENTING TIREDNESS. If he didn't wear the little spectacles, he wouldn't even be bright. Nobody would think of his…this is George Will... –MR. TRUMP MOCKS THE JOURNALIST THROUGH TAKING OFF HIS GLASSES. I mean I gotta tell you, Krauthammer's…–MEANING MR. CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER–…terrible. He is so unfair to me! He is the worst! He is the worst! And I'm not allowed to criticize him, so I'm gonna be very nice. Krauthammer, he's terrible! He's terrible! –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
You have a guy named Steven Hayes, I've never even heard of this guy. When my name is mentioned, it's like he's the boiling, he goes crazy! –CROWD LAUGHS. Now, part of the reason is they all said I was never gonna run, right? And then I ran. Then they said, ‘well, he'll never file form A’, that's basically a single page where you sign your life away. And I went like, ‘Ugh! Let's go!’. Boom, I signed.

Then they said, ‘well, maybe he's not as rich as everyone thinks. And he'll never file his financials. And if he does, he'll file him in two years from now’, cause you're allowed a lot of extensions.
I filed them ahead of schedule in less than 30 days. Okay? Almost…a hundred pages. And the press was down there, they said they'd never seen anything like it. They were scouring those things. Believe me! I wouldn't be running unless I was really rich, cuz they would have killed me. And they…and by the way, you haven't read one report…bad, bad…!
 
I built a great company! I built a tremendous company: very little debt, tremendous cash flow, the best assets…–CROWD CHEERS. And the only reason I say it, I'm not saying it…cuz it sounds terrible in a certain way, it…I don't wanna brag. But…that's the thinking we need in this country! We have 19 in debt! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We…have…19…trillion…dollars…in debt! We built a 43-million-dollar gas station in Afghanistan, and it doesn't even sell the right gas…–CROWD LAUGHS. Okay? 43 million! Do you think you could have built that gas station for slightly less? –CROWD YELLS ‘YES!’.
 
No, you look at the things. The money…we…we spend a billion dollars to build a hospital. You spent…I mean, you could build seven hospitals for that. We could take care of our Vets for money…we…have…such…stupid…people…leading us! I used to say they're incompetent. I didn't wanna use the word ‘stupid’. It's too crude, and too tough! They don't know I went to an Ivy League school. I…you know, I'm really like a smart guy. My uncle was at MIT. He was a professor for years!
 
They didn't believe it, they…–THE PRESS, PRESUMABLY–…went and checked, ‘Dr. John Trump’! I actually think he was there for five decades. MIT…he was one of the great engineer scientists. And…you know, it's like really good stuff. But when they talk about us…they talk about us like…do we know?
 
Let me tell you: these are the smartest people! …–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CROWD. These are…the…people…that…made…our…country…great…originally! These are the great people! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. These…are…the…great…people! And we're gonna take our country back. And we're gonna turn it around. And we're gonna run it smart! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're gonna run it smart! We give…a hundred and fifty billion dollars to Iran! Listen to this. And this I just heard this morning. So we give a hundred and fifty billion dollars to Iran…they self-inspect their big site. In other words, where they're making the nukes. They sell…can you imagine you call them, ‘we hear you're making nukes!’. MR. TRUMP NOW PLAYS OUT THE OTHER SIDE–… ‘Okay, we'll…let…let us check!’…–CROWD LAUGHS. They call, ‘no, we're not making nukes, there, you dumbs! Son of a bitches…’…–MR. TRUMP SAYS IT VERY LOW. THE CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And then…no, but think of this. Think of this. And then…they have the 24 day, where they have 24 days. But before the clock…starts ticking, you have to go through a whole process, so it could be forever…! …before you get there.
 
And you know the other thing? Look, nuclear is so important…it…it…it’s more important than anything! And having a deal is good, but we gotta make good deals, not bad deals! But…another thing! They get four prisoners; they wouldn't even get them out. So I've been complaining about this for I’m…I…long before they did the deal! Get the prisoners out! A hundred fifty…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So now the deal is done. And…what do I hear this morning on television? That…we're now starting a brand-new separate negotiation for the prisoners…and they want…many prisoners that we have over here for the four! No, don’t! Think about it! Think about it! …–CROWD MUTTERS. No, think about it! So now, they…wanna…start…a…whole…new…negotiation, that we should have had three years ago when this stupid negotiation began!
 
You go in, and you say, ‘before we start, we want our prisoners’. They say, ‘no!’. We say, ‘that's okay’. You leave the room, you double up the sanctions…they’d call you back within 48 hours…and they'd say, ‘you get your prisoners’. Think of it: we just gave them…the greatest deal…one of the greatest deals in the history of countries! We made them a powerful…rich…nation. They're going to now have nuclear…they don't even have to waste their time making it! With the money we gave them, they can buy nuclear…why are they gonna make it!? They can buy whatever they want. You don't think North Korea is probably calling them? ‘Help, help, help! We need money, we'll give you some nukes…?’…–CROWD LAUGHS. We are this…we are led…by this stupidest…people…I've ever seen…I’ve…can't even imagine that! – CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So now…here's the thing, and I…I…I won't…I can't even watch it. I can't even listen to it. So now they wanna do a new negotiation for the prisoners. And all we had to do is said, ‘we want our prisoners back’, and you would have had them. And they want a lot! And one of the guys said, from Iran, ‘we walked a lot!’. ‘Oh, great, right, right!’…–CROWD LAUGHS. It drives…all of us…that's why we're here!
 
You know, they used to talk about the silent majority. We're not silent anymore, folks…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We’re not silent. And Hillary Clinton is a disaster! She's going to be beaten…–CROWD BOOS–…she's a disaster! Don't forget! Her…and Obama helped get us into this mess, with the migration! Her with…‘let's go into Libya! Let's go here…!’. She doesn't know what the hell she's doing! She wakes up in the morning…I will not say that she puts on her pantsuit, because that's what she does. I'm not gonna say it! I'm not saying it! –CROWD LAUGHS. I will not say that!
 
She wakes up in the morning, she goes out. She'll go to New Hampshire, Iowa…one day a week, or something. Did you ever notice? She'll do something totally staged. She’ll pick four people, she's always sitting around a little plastic table…–CROWD LAUGHS. There's like four people…nice people…I mean, they're hand-picked! Out of a thousand people, they picked the four nicest. They ask her you these really innocent questions! And then she leaves, and she goes back to sleep for a week. It's incredible! –CROWD LAUGHS. And I'm telling you! I'll tell you what! And the FOX poll just came out, and the FOX poll was very strong…that I beat her easily! I beat her easily! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And…and honestly? Honestly. I mean, look what I did to Bush. I haven't even started on Hillary…–CROWD CHEERS. I haven't even started. Poor Bush! I hear now he's doing another comer… He does…commercials! You know, he’s spending all his money…doing negative commercials on me. He's doing the commercial…where he uses what he said last night. But he doesn't put what I said to him! –CROWD LAUGHS. And what it is…? …and it's a big problem…in terms of running for office, because you know, these Super PACs are a scam. They're a scam! They're a horrible thing. They're totally corrupt. Ehm…one of the super PACs…it was written about last week in the Los Angeles Times. They raised six million dollars! By the time…all of these guys took their cut, they ended up with a hundred and forty thousand dollars left for the campaign…–CROWD MUTTERS. That's better than…that's better than being a real estate broker, right? –CROWD LAUGHS. Right?
 
So…we have so many things we can do. And…and I'll tell you! The thing I really look forward to doing? Some of the people on the stage, I really like! You saw last night that…Ted Cruz was very nice to me. And I was nice to him…–CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. Actually, most of the people…most of the people were nice to me last night. I mean, it was pretty good! You know, I went in there saying, ‘boy, this is gonna be a tough evening’, because I heard all of them we're gonna come at me, right!? Fourteen of them were gonna be coming at me. I was prepared! But I said, ‘this could be…unpleasant in front of…you know, millions of people’. And…out of…the…ehm…the 14…you know, Jeb…and…I guess Rand Paul, who doesn't have a chance! –CROWD BOOS. I mean, what's he doing!? By the way, what is Rand Paul doing!?
 
You know? Whether you like his politics or not, his father had a certain spark, right? You know, there was a little spark on that. Rand doesn't have that spark! Rand doesn't have that spark! And I love Kentucky! It's one of the great places, but…I don't get it! You know? How does this guy get reelected in Kentucky!? I don't get it! I don't know! Is he gonna be primaried!? Is somebody gonna run against him!? Cause we do want a Republican! But…is he gonna be primaried or something? But…he's a nasty guy!
 
But the father…had…a spark! And he had something special! Like they say I have! No, I’m only kidding! –CROWD LAUGHS. But…he had something special. Rand doesn't have it! So…other than those two, I mean…it was really…a…a…ehm…even Kasich was very nice to me last night! I was very surprised! He's gotten beaten up pretty badly! He said, ‘you know what? It's easier to be nice to “Trump”’, right? –CROWD LAUGHS. It's easy. Less costly. But he was nice, so we had a good time.
 
So anyway! So Drudge, 46 percent. Now, that's out of 15 people! So that means I got 46 percent. Time magazine, believe me, I don't control Time Magazine. I was on their cover…four or five weeks ago. They should have picked me for the Person of the Year, but they didn't! no, they should have! …–CROWD CHEERS. No! Every…you know what? That's not coming from me. They have these panels…and virtually…and I said it, I'm never gonna get it, because I'm not establishment! But…every panel that I saw on television, when Time was…you know, it's sort of cool, even though the magazine's going down the tubes. It's sort of…no! It's a cool thing! Most magazines are going down, in all fairness to them. It's great. Isn't it? To watch these guys go down the tubes. Isn’t that great!? I love it…–CROWD YELLS ‘YEAH!’ AND CHEERS.
 
But you know what? Time Magazine…so let's have these panels…and that have five people around…you know all the political panels! And…almost…everybody! …even my enemy said, ‘no, “Trump” will get it, cause he's done something that's never been done before’. This has never been done before folks! And we're…really…doing something! It's really a movement! What we're doing is a movement! So they said, ‘Trump’s gonna win’. And I said I won't. I told my wife. I said, ‘I'll never do it’. It's just like The Apprentice, for the first three seasons? I should have gotten the Emmy for The Apprentice. I– Got the number one, I've got tremendous ratings, it was the hottest thing…and they'd picked these shows that were establishment. Amazing Race. You fall asleep watching it, okay? …–CROWD LAUGHS. It's not…a race! It's a sleeping contest! Because I'm not establishment Hollywood, I'm not establishment politically…
 
So Time Magazine picked…a woman who's destroying Germany! She let the migration come right into Germany! She's destroying Germany! And if I have to work with her a little while, I'll do just fine. But I'm telling you, what she did is wrong. They should have done…a safe zone…in Syria! Had a big, beautiful, fat safe zone, and stopped all this nonsense! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And honestly? If it weren't for Obama and Hillary, you probably wouldn't have even had the migration. It's so…they are so incompetent!
 
So then Time magazine. Time magazine, 49 percent. Slate, 51 percent. Syracuse.com, 49 percent. USNews & World Report, 69 percent! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. PBS, Public Broadcasting…PBS…69 percent! This is…‘who won the debate?’. That’s all there is…69 percent! The blaze…well, he doesn't like me very much. That's okay. Who cares!? I don't even know who he is…–CROWD LAUGHS–…38 percent. Not bad! It's my lowest one! Washington Times, great paper, 62 percent. CBS Philadelphia, 59 percent. FOX 5 Las Vegas, 62 percent. That's what it is! I mean, you know…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And by the way! I just read…I just read…every…single…poll. Those are all the online polls who won the debates. And then you'll watch these…these…now, in all fairness, I actually did watch…you know, when you're on television, you tend to watch, no matter who you are… ‘hey, I wanna watch myself today…’–CROWD LAUGHS. But…I went home and I watched…and…and I must say, for the most part, even the haters…they said, ‘he did well’. One or two said, ‘well, I didn't think he had a particularly great night!’…–IN A HIGHER TONE AND MOCKINGLY. CROWD LAUGHS. These people are brutal! But who cares!?
 
So…one of the reasons we've done so well here…is because…we are going to stop illegal immigration…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. We have to! We have to! And if we don't stop it, we don't have a country folks! We don't have a country! We don't have a country! And…you know, I have as big a heart as anybody here. I have as big a heart as anybody! It's like with the migration! Help them! Let's do something! But we can't let them come over, almost more importantly than anybody…!
 
Did you see yesterday the…big story about the cellphones…? …and what's on they have ISIS flags…? …and…all sorts of beheadings and crimes…on pictures on their cell phones? First of all, why are people in a migration having cell phones!? That was the first question! –CROWD LAUGHS. It’s sort of strange! I mean, who's paying for those cell phones!? Where are they coming from? Who are they calling? These are people…can you imagine…? Ehm…many, many, many cell phones! Why…? Where…do they get cell phones!? Who pays their monthly bill!? –CROWD CONSTENS AND MUTTERS. What do they do? Don't they get billed by the phone company or something!? How…? I…I asked that!
 
You know, a friend of mine said, ‘you know, they have flags!’. And he was talking all about the ISIS flags. And also…the beheadings on the phones? Everything. So…but I said something different. I said, ‘how come they have cell phones!?’. And he said, ‘wow! I never thought of that. You're right. How come they have cell phones?’.
 
So we're not letting them come in. And if they are…here…when I get here…they're all going back. They have to! They have to! They have to! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They're going back!
 
So…we're going to build the wall…and Mexico is going to pay for the wall. They’re gonna pay for it! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And I love Mexico, and I love the Mexican people. And I have thousands of them that work for me. And they're incredible workers, with incredible spirit. And they love me. And I'll tell you what: in the state of Nevada, they recently did a poll, and I'm leading with Hispanics! And everyone’s saying, ‘oh! That's…!’ Because I'm gonna produce jobs! I'm gonna take our jobs back from China! And Japan! And Mexico! And all these other places! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And you know what the Hispanics that are here, legally…and that got…went through a process, those people are all…they’re for me! Because they don't want their jobs taken! They don't want their house taken! They don't want to be overrun by people pouring across the borders! And one of the first thing I do…I mean, probably the first thing I do…is the good thing about an executive order. What's a good thing? I can walk and sign, and that's the end of it. I don't have to go through Congress…I mean, Obama never goes through Congress any more. He does…–CROWD LAUGHS. You know, it just is…isn't it incredible!?
 
So…I'm a Republican, but I'm so disappointed in the Republicans! When we got majority…–CROWD MUTTERS–…when we got majority…didn't you think it would be different!? It's the same thing! It's the same…! I…I tell the story: some guy or woman gets elected. They go through hell: ‘We're gonna stop Obamacare! We're gonna repeal it and replace…’…and I am going to do that! By the way, it's gonna be dead! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, no we don't have to worry too much, it's gonna die in ’17…–MEANING 2017. Unless the Republicans’ work out a rescue plan, which they'll probably do if I'm not there. I will tell you. Oba…Obamacare is dead in ’17. You know, the wrong people are signing up; it's all messed up; doctors are leaving…I have a friend, he's a doctor, he's a young guy. He's leaving the profession! He said, ‘I have more accountants that I have nurses!’. The guy's got more accountants than nurses!
 
So anyway! We…are…going…to…take care of Obamacare. We're gonna get rid…we're gonna make this place! It's gonna be unbelievable! And it could go fast! Now, what I'll tell you, what can't happen: we can't go through…another four years…of this incompetence…this stupidity…we can't do it! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We can't do it! We can't do it!
 
So…we're gonna get rid of that. But the wall is so important. And…you know, it does work. All you have to do is ask your friends in Israel. It works! It's really effective. But I mean, a Trump wall. I don't mean a wall…that you walk…knock over, you kick it through. I mean…let's see the height of this building…–MR. TRUMP TAKES A LOOK UP TO THE CEILING. How high is your ceiling here, man!? Travis! How high is your ceiling? Cause you're talking about a little bit higher than ceiling. Meaning…if you get up there…man! …there's no way to get down! –CROWD LAUGHS. Okay. And it's gonna be a beautiful wall, because someday they'll name it after me, and I want it to be beautiful…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’s true! It’s true! And it's gonna work. And…we're gonna have people come in. We're gonna have a big door! And we're gonna have people come in, but they're gonna…come…in…legally! They're coming in legally. And…we're gonna bring our country back.
 
You know, it's really having a huge impact. And…you know, one of the people…that I've gotten to  know, and I've gotten to know so many people. Students, and professors, and college heads…cuz you know, the student debts is a huge problem, we're gonna work on that. We're gonna work on everything. We gotta work on everything! I mean, there's nothing we can't work on! There's nothing in this country…! You know, I say it, last night…–A PLANE OVERFLIES THE EVENT MAKING A CONSIDERABLE NOISE WHICH TRUMP STOPS TO CHECK. THE CROWD CHEERS. APPARENTLY IT WAS PROGRAMMED. THE CROWD CHANTS ‘U.S.A!’. I'll tell you what: I wouldn't wanna be the enemy and have one of those suckers coming at me. We just don't know how to use it. We don't have…we just…the whole thing is…like different.
 
But one of the people that I've gotten to know, who's one of the great, great people, the…illegal immigration has…caused…tremendous crime; has caused tremendous deaths. It's caused economic hurt, as you know, because a lot of jobs are being taken, and…and our citizens don't get those jobs. And again, we're gonna have people come in. And we're gonna have…if there are some areas, like the great barriers, I know a lot of the folks up there. And they say if…if we can't get…will do some visa program, where we get people up. We're not gonna hurt industry. We don't want to hurt business or anything. So we'll get people. We’ll get the people in. If our people don't wanna take the job…and I understand that! You know, there's people that don't want certain jobs! And I get it! But…we're gonna get…the people in.
 
We're gonna make this country so dynamic. I…my tax plan I'm cutting the hell out of taxes, for the middle class, and for businesses…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and for businesses! Corporations are gonna bring the trillions of dollars that are outside of the country. They're gonna bring it in, and they're gonna use it here.
 
But one of the people I got to know, and he's a friend of mine, and he had a horrible thing happened. His son, Jamil Shaw, you may have seen him. He's just…been…amazing. And whenever he's around, and I said, ‘do me a favor, say a few words’…he'll explain what happened. With an illegal immigrant, who killed his son…viciously and violently. And he's become a friend of mine. And he's a great guy. And he's here with us, and let me bring him up. Jameel, come on up…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Jameel.
 
MR. JAMEEL SHAW INTERVENES.
MR. DONALD J. TRUMP TAKES THE FLOOR AGAIN. Minute 00.34.30:
 
He's amazing. He's amazing. His son…ehm…so many colleges wanted his son. As…he…he was a good student…and he was a great football player. And…Jameel broke his hand hitting it on the concrete. He was so…upset. And so…you know, you can imagine. I was just…a very amazing guy, and with an amazing family. He brought…some of the members of his family over; his sister, and his mother, and it's just…ehm…we gave him a ride on that plane…–MR. TRUMP’S AIRPLANE WHICH IS PLACED RIGHT BEHIND HIM FOR THE RALLY–…he said…I said, ‘have you ridden in one like that’’. He said, ‘not yet!’…–CROWD LAUGHS. But I said, ‘you can ride in it whenever you want’. But he's just…he is a special man, believe me…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You gotta take care of our people. We gotta take care of our people.
 
So…we're gonna straighten things out. We're going to take…trade back from China: We're gonna make money now. Last year, we had a trade…deficit…of over five…hundred…billion…dollars…with China: And then we honor China. And we have nothing but problems! So…they don't do anything with us in North Korea. They have…total…control…over…North Korea. North Korea is…you know, we're…we’re talking about…Iran. Iran…in all fairness, they'll have nukes. Don't worry about it. Under the I…if I'm president, they won't have nukes, I promise you that. IT– doesn't matter what the agreement said…–CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. I may have to violate that agreement slightly, you don't mind, do you? –CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. They…will have nukes. Unless I'm there.
 
But China…we have tremendous power over China! But we don't know that! Because we have people that have no business ability. All you have to do is look at the Iran deal, where we give them the hundred and fifty…billion dollars, and all of those things. That's right, The Art of the Deal. The Art of the Deal. Man! …–MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES SOMEBODY SPECIFICALLY. It's my man over there! Good! I'll try signing that for you! Thank you!
 
But…we…have to do something! We have to use our heads! So we have five…hundred…billion…dollars…a year…in trade…deficit…China! We…have…way over…seventy-five…billion! …with a ‘b’! …dollars a year…trade deficit with Japan! With Mexico the number is…enormous! That's why these politicians…they up the other day and they said, ‘Mexico will never build the wall!’…of course they will! They’re making a fortune!’…–IN A SHARPER AND MOCKING VOICE. The wall’s peanuts compared to what they're making! But you have to know! They have no business ability whatsoever! And I like him! They have no business…ability whatsoever.
 
And some like Jeb Bush, and others, they're not strong enough! They don't have the power! They don't have whatever it takes! They don't have it! And…you know what? I don't wanna be a nasty guy…? But I don't care anymore! We have to get the right people in! And I don't care! I don't care anymore! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We can't have a continuation of this stupidity! Of this incompetence! We can't do it! Where we have Carolyn Kennedy…! …negotiating trade pacts with Japan! I want Carl Icahn! I want the killers of Wall Street to do it! And they all wanna do it, they don’t want anything! They wanna do it! Their ego…makes them wanna to do it! Some of them actually love the country! And you know what? Some of them are not nice people. Who cares!? –CROWD LAUGHS. Who cares!?
 
So we're gonna take back trade. We're gonna take back jobs! You know, we don't…we have lost so much! If you look at what…hey! Everybody beats us! But China…is really done…and I've been talking about this for 10 years! We're gonna take back trade. We're gonna take back jobs…and you know what? China is gonna like us better than before. And people say, ‘what are we gonna do…!?’. Cause I get along with people, believe it or not! In fact, they say, ‘you get along with Democrats, that’s tough!’. I said, ‘I'm a world-class business guy! I have to get along with everybody! I get along with everybody! That's my job!’. But now I'm running against somebody, that's really…shouldn't even be allowed to run! She shouldn't be allowed to run! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
There's no reason that she's able…how is she able to run…? …when…Petraeus's…–A FORMER MILITARY–…life was destroyed! And he did 5 percent –OF–…what she did! How was she able to run!? …–CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. Don't worry, we'll be going into it. We’ll be going into it.

But…we're gonna bring our jobs back. We're gonna bring trade! We're gonna make trade! A friend of mine…I tell the story all the time! He's an excavator. He digs…big, big foundations and structures. He digs tremendous…he’s a tremendous excavator. And he buys a lot of equipment. And he always bought Caterpillar. By the way, look what's happened to that stock! And I was telling the story a year ago. So I predicted it. Just like I wrote about Osama bin Laden…in my book! The America We Deserve! I wrote about Osama bin Laden…in the year 2000, before the World Trade Center got knocked down. That's pretty good…! …right!?
 
But…he's an excavator. And he sees me…and he's very disappointed. I said, ‘what's wrong? He said, ‘I just ordered a tremendous amount of equipment…from Japan! It's named…Komatsu’. I said, ‘how is it?’. He said, ‘it's good. It's not as good as Caterpillar, but it's very good. But they cut the Yen…–THE JAPANESE CURRENCY–…they manipulated their currency! I couldn't do anything else! I owed it to myself, and my family…I couldn't do anything else about it!’. And…that's what's happening! And I see it! I…look at caterpillar stock, I saw this two years ago! Look what's happening to our compa…our companies are being decimated…by currency manipulation. And we have politicians…that…don't…even…know…what…the words mean!
 
We have a politician…that won't even talk about…radical Islamic terrorism! He will not…issue the term! And how do you solve a problem…if…you…don't…want…to even…talk…about it!? And I've had friends of mine that are Muslims! I have great relationships with Muslims! I have partnerships with Muslims! And they called me up the other day; they said…not all of them! But they called me up! Some very prominent! And they said, ‘you have done…a tremendous service…’. And all I'm doing is…we have to figure out, folks…what the hell is going on!? –CROWD APPLAUDS. We have some really bad stuff happening!
 
And they called me up, and they said: ‘Donald, you've done us a service. You really have done a great service’. And I was surprised to hear him say it. But they know much more than we do…that they have a problem! And we've got to solve the problem! But you can't…solve…the problem…if you…put yourself in a corner…and don't wanna discuss it! You can't do it! So…we're gonna solve a lot of problems. We're gonna take that trade back. We're gonna be tremendous.
 
You know, Ford is building a tremendous plant in Mexico, right!? We don't get anything! They're closing plants in Michigan! What are we doing!? How does that benefit us!? They're gonna build in Mexico, then Mexico is gonna make cars, trucks and parts…and they're gonna to send them in to us…no tax! …no nothing! We're like the stupid people! Not gonna happen!
 
Nabisco…is moving a big factory…from Chicago to Mexico! I'm never eating Oreos again, I'm telling you. I'm never eating ever again! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I'm not eating them again! That kind of stuff…is not…we’re just not gonna let…let them compete! But damn it! If they're gonna do that, and we're gonna close up jobs…and factories…? They're gonna pay tax when they send that stuff back into the United States! They're gonna pay tax! Because it's unfair! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.

Tennessee was going to build this big, big plant! …from a…foreign car company. It was all set! The deal was all done! All of a sudden they announced…we…it's a great state, incredible people! I mean, I have rallies in Tennessee…you wouldn't believe it! All of a sudden they announced…it…it's going to Mexico; it's not going to Tennessee. We're not gonna let that crap happen! We're not letting it happen. All right. We want jobs! We're not gonna be the people…that are led by stupid people…and were embarrassed…to almost…! …I had a person! …the other day! It's a terrible thing to say! The person was in Europe! They were embarrassed to say they're from the United States! Can you believe this!? Can you believe it!?
 
You know, in the old days…my daughter was telling me this…Ivanka. DID–…anybody hear of Ivanka? Yeah! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's a great, great person. But she said, ‘you know dad…? …in Europe…’, when she was in Europe as a little girl…she said… ‘a lot of things were made in the USA. They’d say ‘made in the USA’. And that was quality! And I remember it, and some of you remember it! Made in the USA. And if it said Made in Japan…? That was cheap stuff! That was junk! Right!? Remember if!? –CROWD LAUGHS. If it had a made in Japan label, it was garbage!
 
Now, it's like….you don't see…I don't even know if we have signs that say made in the USA. I haven't seen this…I…! Do they use that sign anymore!? And she said…in Czechoslovakia, which was communist…they would take a dollar bill…and people would…scotch tape it, to the windshield of their car! Because they were so amazed…and so proud…of America! They just wanted any symbol! And they take dollar bills, and scotch tape them. Because they had…I guess the word’s not pride…they had respect for our country! We don't have that anymore. We're not respected by anybody anymore! That's why we have crowds like this!
 
Look: everywhere I go, I have crowds like this. Everywhere! Everywhere! We have the biggest crowds by far. Because there's a movement going on, folks. This isn't just like, ‘let's go and have a good time’.
 
Somebody said, ‘Oh, Trump's a great entertainer’. They…that's a lot of bullshit! I'll tell you! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We have a message! We have a message! And the message is…we don't…want to let…other…people…take advantage of us!. I was saying…we have rebuilt China! We've rebuilt it! You go over to China now? They have bridges like the George Washington Bridge all over the place! That's like a small bridge! All over the place! We've rebuilt it with the money they've sucked out of here! Think of it. Think of it: they take our jobs; they take our manufacturing; they take our money; they take our base. And we, right now, owe China…1.5 trillion dollars. Can you believe it!? It's like a magic act in reverse. It's not happening with me!
 
I have endorsements from incredible people. The people that I want! You know, I don't care if a guy like Jeb Bush never endorses me. It…wouldn't…bother me at all! I think it's a negative if you want
But I have guys like Carl Icahn…who's a great business guy. I mean, that's…those are the endorsements we need. And those guys have to go, and put their genius to work. And show us how great they are. Nobody…can beat…our business people. We have the greatest in the world1 But we don't use them! We use political hacks! We use donors! We use special interests that make deals! …in order that their companies, and their countries…are taken care of. That's what we do.
 
So…you know, I'm self-funding, okay? I'm self-funding…–CROWD CHEERS. I'm putting up my own money. I mean, when I fly in that plane…–MR. TRUMP POINTS RIGHT BEHIND HIS BACK–…believe me it's expensive. I pay for it, okay? But you know what? I'll tell you what. A lot of people…and I didn't think it was that big of a deal. And I had people that said, ‘you have no idea what it…you know, how important it is’. I…get…so many…INAUDIBLE.
 
I have turned down…tens of millions of dollars. People wanting to put money…into this campaign, into PACs…I've turned it down! I actually feel a little foolish! My whole life I've been taking money: money, money, give me more money! –CROWD LAUGHS. And I turn it down! And when I go to Iowa…and New Hampshire, and South Carolina, and tell them…like…I'm self-funding…I go…the people go crazy! It's a big deal to them! You know!? I…I had an interesting case.
 
In Iowa…about four weeks ago, a big crowd. I said, ‘let me tell you, I feel very guilty turning down all this money. Supposing I took it…and I swear to you I will not be guided by the people that gave it!...’…they all stood up and started booing me! They didn't want it! –CROWD LAUGHS. And they're right! They're right!
 
So…amazing things are happening. We had 35,000 people in Mobile, Alabama. We had 20,000 people in the Dallas Mavericks Arena. It was…an…unrelated…and we had like three days, four days to fill it up. We had 20,000 people in Oklahoma. In Iowa we have the biggest crowds by…many times! In…and I couldn't say it with all those sleaze bags up there, I couldn't say it! –CROWD LAUGHS. Honestly! I couldn't say it! Because they say, ‘oh, it's not true! It's not true!’. You know, you'd have headlines, ‘it's not true’.
 
But I have the most incredible crowds…I go to Iowa, I go to New Hampshire, I go to South Carolina…unbelievable! It's the same thing! It's this way…no matter where we go! And I call it ‘we’, because it's ‘we’! We're all together! It’s not me! It's ‘we’! It's ‘we’! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So when I started…this journey, as I said last night, it's a journey! …took a lot of guts! I mean, it takes guts…to run for president, that I can tell you. But when I started this journey…in June, I was really focused on…trade, in China, and Japan, in Vietnam…that's another one now. They're doing a number on us. They’re taking a lot of jobs, a lot of business. I know more. They're all doing numbers on us. Everybody's doing a number! We're like the big…bully…dummy that doesn't know what the hell they're doing! –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
But…when I started, it…it was all about trade! And it was about the border…! And because I'm so strong on the border, nobody can be stronger than me on the border! I'll tell you what, you know, HAVE–…you ever noticed how these guys are all pivoting!? They're all weak! They were a member of The Gang of Eight. DO–…you know The Gang of Eight? ‘Come on in folks! Do whatever the hell you want! You'll be a citizen. Don't worry about it’, right? Now, they're all…and they were all saying, ‘oh, what terrible language with “Trump”’, and…now, ‘what a terrible…’.
 
Now they're all coming…they're trying to be more, and more…! They can never get more so than me! …because…number one, I know how to do it. Number two, Mexico is paying for it…I know how to get them to pay for it! These guys, every one of them, said, ‘you'll never get Mexico to pay’. For me it's easy! It's like that NBC, CNBC debate: Where they said, ‘no, we're gonna make it three hours instead of two’. I said, ‘no, you're not’…–CROWD LAUGHS. Everybody said, ‘you'll never be able to negotiate with them’. I said, ‘yes, I will!’. I know…who wants to sit watch a three-hour debate!? Two hours is bad enough!
 
I could debate…for twenty-five hours, but who the hell wants to watch for three hours!? –CROWD LAUGHS. So they said, ‘you'll never be able to get out of it’. I said, ‘yes I will’. I called the head of CNBC, IT– took me three minutes, and we had a two-hour debate…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's true! It's true!
 
So…so here it is folks, in a nutshell. The trade stuff is easy. And I focused on it so much, until Paris! To be honest, Paris…not this country, but same thing. Paris…and by the way! If some of those people…that were slaughtered, in Paris. With a hundred and thirty dead, and many more going to die. They're decimated. They’re…they're…very sad shape. As we have in California! More going to die…they're in very bad shape. We have 14 dead, more going to die.
 
If some of those people…in Paris, probably the number one place, anywhere in the world, for gun control…Paris and France! …you can't have a gun! Unless you're a bad guy, you can walk in…with whatever you want. If some of those people…had…a…gun…tied to their ankle…! ….or a gun right up here…to their waist! Or a gun right over here…–MR. TRUMP SHOWS HIS UPPER RIB. They would have had a hell of a fighting chance, and I guarantee you… –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…the result would have been a hell of a lot better. IT–…would have been a hell of a lot better! – CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. CROWD CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY.
 
I mean, it's incredible. You know, you talked to some people…especially me, I come from a liberal New York City, everything's Democrat inside. And there's a no gun control. But I said, ‘supposing…! …’, and I'm talking with very smart people, very successful people. But they're…you know, for gun control. And I'm the exact opposite. I think…I think they’re so crazy.
 
So you’d debate them! And you’d just bring up those examples. And they know they can't win the debate, but they still…you don’t…change their mind. You don’t change their mind. THE– Second Amendment has to be preserved…and strengthened, but it has to be preserved. We cannot let them take that…away from us. And believe me, there's a movement to take it away. And now their new movement is bullets! They wanna take bullets away! If I become president…believe me, you can relax, nothing's gonna be happening, okay? Nothing's gonna be happening…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
Just quickly: Common Core, we have to bring our education back, locally. We'll save a fortune. We want the parents…like you, and you, and you…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT PEOPLE SPECIFICALLY–…I see it! I see it in your eyes! We want…the local…people…to take care of their kids’ education…as opposed to bureaucrats in Washington…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
When I see guys like Bush, and others that are for Common Core…it's just a way of taking care of your friends. What that is…is bureaucratic nightmares! They have people…couldn't care less about your children. I mean, maybe some of them do, but a lot of them really just care about how much money they're gonna make a month, or a week. And…we're bringing…education back…locally. I told you before! We're number 28, and we spend more per pupil by far! Number second isn't even close! So, obviously it's not working!
 
So we have a lousy educational system. We're gonna change it. We're gonna bring it local. And it's gonna be great! And it's gonna…it's gonna take place like immediately. It'll go quickly! It'll go quickly! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So it's so important.
 
So just in finishing this…we're bringing back our jobs, I could do that so easy. It's changed a little bit since Paris, and since California, where…a lot of the polls that came out, they say, ‘Trump is number one on security’, ‘Trump is number one on terrorism’. And you know what? By far! It's like…you see the numbers, they get these massive numbers…on terrorism! Like everybody wants ‘Trump’ for the protection, because they know…I know what the hell I'm doing! –CROWD YELLS ‘YEAH!’. And…it's not political, and it's not…it's not politically correct! But it's really correct! It's gonna save everybody's life!
 
I had a thing last night. I talked about the Internet. So ISIS is using our Internet much better than our people, right? Even though we invented the Internet. ISIS is using it. So last night…I said, ‘I wanna infiltrate the internet, but…’. People said, ‘oh! That’s…freedom of speech! You can’t do that! This one! That one! We need security…’. I said, ‘wait a minute! This is ISIS! They wanna kill you!’. ‘Well, we don't know about that’. Where are these people coming from!? Where do they come from!? …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
They are using the internet so brilliantly. The good news is…we have people in Silicon Valley that are far better than they are. We have to get them involved! We have to get them engaged! Whether we knock the hell out of their internet system in…in the ISIS territories, which by the way, are getting larger by the day…
 
How long have I been saying, ‘bomb the hell out of their oil’, right!? –CROWD CHEERS–…right!? Three years! –CROWD APPLAUDS. And I said, ‘when we leave, take the oil!’. I don't wanna just bomb it! I want to take it! And I want it to give it to our wounded warriors, and our vets! And the families of people that were killed! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…we're gonna make…our military…so strong…and so powerful…that nobody's gonna mess with us! And we'll never have to use it! It's gonna be cheap! We'll never have to use it! Don't forget: I was against the war in Iraq. And you see that! They go back to 2003 to…because I said, ‘you're gonna totally destabilize the Middle East’, I was against it! We're gonna make our military so strong! We're gonna take care of our Vets! We're gonna take care of them. They're treated horribly. And it's never been worse! Hillary, three weeks ago, said, ‘actually, the Vets are treated very well’. Then she had to recant her statement…–CROWD BOOS. No, but is that true!? Three weeks ago!
 
We are going to take care of our great…Veterans. Better than ever! And we put in a plan, and everybody loves it. We're taking care of our Vets. We're getting rid of Obamacare. We're gonna come up with something that's great…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And…I will tell you: I just hope you go out and vote, because…you know, we have a little structural problem, where the…Republicans have…a disadvantage at an election. So unless it's gonna be a movement type of event, like I think is happening…where we can actually run the hole…we can run the table on them! But unless it's going to be something like I see happening. I mean, look at you, in the middle of the day…you don't wanna be…you're sitting in a hangar! …with thousands and thousands of people!? Something is going on, and it's beautiful to see! Ladies and gentlemen…we're going to…make…America…great…again! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Better…than ever…before! I love you! I love you! Thank you!
 
Thank you!
 
Thank you!
 
Thank you!
