Unbelievable…! Unbelievable…!
I wanna thank you. You know, there's like seven accidents outside. I have never seen anything like it. It cannot be like this. It's going to be fine. It stops tonight at two o'clock, we think! …-THE CROWD CHEERS. So, nobody's gonna have any excuses. This is an incredible day. We have a blizzard, or at least a very bad storm. And to have this many people…I wanna thank everybody. You know…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…thank you.
So…this is now…crunch time. We've got a movement going…that's been incredible! Everybody's talking about…; [the] cover of Time magazine…last week. They have a picture from behind. I was extremely careful with my hair…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. They have a massive crowd out in front. And they talk about a movement. And that's what it is. It's a movement, folks. It’s a movement…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And this is a movement where…we say, “make America great again”…; We’re gonna make America great again…! We're gonna make America greater than ever before…! It's gonna be something really, really special! What we're doing…hasn't been done before! They're all talking about it! You come from all over…; and whether I go to Dallas…we had 21 thousand people, in Dallas, in the Mavericks Arena, packed! No matter where we go!
Mobile, Alabama, 35 thousand people! The other night…! The other night…in South Carolina night, we had 12…thousand…people, [with] three days notice. 12…thousand…people. It's been incredible! No matter where we go. And you look at tonight…in a blizzard, we have…I guess…a lot of people! I don't know, how about…there's a lot of people! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. This is a lot of people!
And I won't mention names, but I said, “how many people are at the other candidates…!?”, okay? The candidates…; Oh, No! Look at this guy back there! Look at that guy! Believe it or not, this is…ah! Do I look like that!? Please tell me, I don't! …-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
You know, we've got all these Trump impersonators…; please, don't let…! Get up here! Let me see here! Believe me, I've never seen this guy before! I've never seen him…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Come on up here! Oh, no! Tell me this isn't Trump! Look at this guy! Melania, would you have married this guy!? I don’t know…-THE CROWD CHEERS. Look at that! …-MR. TRUMP LAUGHS. That’s…that’s great!  Congratulations, man. I hope you're making a lot of money. Okay? Good luck…-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
So, we have something very, very special going on. We're going to have a country…that's smart. We're going to have country that's tough. That makes the proper decisions. That makes the right deals. Our trade deals are so bad. I have the greatest deal makers in the world. The richest men…; the richest women…; people that are truly successful…! The best business people in the world! We have them in this country! We don't use them! We use political hacks! These are political hacks…to negotiate with China! …-THE CROWD BOOS. With Japan…! With Russia…! With…Mexico.
Mexico…; Mexico…is taking business away from us, folks. Like you wouldn't believe. What are we gonna do with Mexico? We're gonna build a wall…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We’re gonna build a wall! And this is going to be a real wall! This is going to be a wall that's gonna stop…the heroin, and the drugs from coming to New Hampshire! Believe me! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. This is gonna stop it!
And my favorite part…; I'll only do it once, because I don't do it all the time. You know what's coming! But I wanna do it, just one time, because…this is sort of…our…final love fest. All right? Now, tomorrow will be an even better one. But this is the one. Cuz tomorrow you have to get out and you have to vote no matter what! I say it all the time! If you're sick…! If you're really like…you can't move…! You're close to death. Your doctor tells you it's not working…! Your wife is disgusted with you, she said “I'm leaving!”. No matter what! She says, “darling, I love you, but I've fallen in love with another man”. I don't give a damn! You gotta get out to vote! Right!? Right!? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You gotta get out to vote!
Uhhh! My wife doesn't like it when I say that. She says, “you shouldn't say that”, but that's okay. Speaking of my wife… “Melania come up. Come on up” …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. She is so great…! [She is] So understanding…!
I took the escalator ride down! Do we remember, the famous…? It's the most famous escalator in the world right now, I will say. And I said to Melania, “[do] you know what?”. [It] takes guts to run for president. Believe me. I've never done this before. I've never done before. But…it does take guts.
And…I said, “you know…”…we're at the top of the escalator, and look at back there. Look at the press. Turn around and look at these people! Look at that! Six…-THE CROWD BOOS. MR. TRUMP LAUGHS-…they start booing!
Oh, by the way! Look at that! Mika and Joe! Mika and Joe! Look at that! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We've got them all! We've got them all!
But, look at the press. By any standard, they have…; I think six hundred…requests. Look at that. That's like, darling, the Academy Awards. The fact is…there is something special! So I'm standing on top of the escalator; I look downstairs…; you can take that and double it…; and I said, “we have no choice. We have to do it”. And it does take courage! And I took a deep breath. Like this. And I said, “let's go”. And she has been…so…unbelievable! She has been so understanding…! I've been campaigning…THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’s true! Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Because I never thought I'd say this.
You know, I'm a business guy. I create jobs…etcetera, right? We do…great deals. I've been working in campaigning since June 16th…[and] just about we've been number one in the polls, every…single…week…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And I've been campaigning, and I've been away…; and it's been very tough. But I will tell you! I've loved doing it. I've met the most unbelievable people! I call Melania all the time. I say, “it's incredible”. I say…we had the most incredible crowd in Dallas. We had the most incredible crowd in Oklahoma.
She said, “really? I couldn't tell!”.
I said, “what do you mean you couldn't tell? It was broadcast live, all over the United States, and beyond”. But the cameras never leave my face. I said, “well, what's going?”. And then I figured out why. Nobody wants to see that we have the biggest crowds.
The biggest crowd for a crowds for a Republican candidate tonight…is 212 people. And look what we have. Is that great? Look what we have…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And that's on top of the fact…! You know, we have 4…of our…incredible, wonderful executives that have been working with…Corey [Lewandowski] and the whole group. And they're now…lying on the side of the road. They're in accidents! Everybody's got accidents! It's incredible…; and I wanna make sure they're okay. I think they're okay. I Hope…are they okay? They are! If they're not, [there is] nothing I can do at this point, right? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
So, I just wanna thank everybody. Melania, [do] you wanna say hello? Thank you…-THE CROWD CHEERS, AND APPLAUDS.
MRS. MELANIA TRUMP INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP RE-TAKES THE FLOOR AT 00.08.46:
Oh, she's gonna be a great first lady. I wanna just tell you one thing…-THE CROWD CHEERS. One thing I will tell you. She's beautiful, but she's more beautiful even on the inside. She's a great person and, boy, is she smart! She is smart! …-THE CROWD CHEERS TIMIDLY.
And speaking of smart…! Has anybody ever heard of Ivanka!? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Huh? People love Ivanka! Come one, Ivanka! Get up here, Ivanka! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And there's Jared. “Stand up, Jared, say hello to the crowd! Come on Jared!”.  Jared is a very, very…successful real-estate man in New York. I'm proud of Jared.
So, Ivanka…famous Ivanka, from The Apprentice. They were begging us, NBC, wanted to renew…for a long time. And they wanted Ivanka; they wanted Don [Donald Jr.], and Eric…; I said, “I can't do it. I really can't do it”.
Steve Burke came up, who is a great guy from Comcast. The boss. [He] came up to my office,  [and] he said, “Donald we wanna renew”.
I said, “Steve, I think I'm running for president”. This was about two months before the famous…escalator trip. I said, “I think I'm running for president”.
He said, “Donald, I don't think you are. Come on, let's renew”. And then they went out, at the upfronts, and they announced…that we're running, and that we're…gonna do The Apprentice, which caused me a lot of problem! Because…I told these guys I'm running, and nobody believed it after they announced.
But, one of the things they really…like, they just love…; well, I'll tell you what they really like: they like the ratings, okay? That's what they really like. But we renewed The Apprentice. I told them I'm not doing it. And I'll tell you what. I don't care what happens…; no matter what. This has been the most experience…the amazing experience. The most amazing experience of my life! And you, people, have made it that way. You, people, have made it that way…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And…I told Ivanka…and I told the kids that…we're not gonna do The Apprentice anymore. We're gonna do this. We're gonna run. Ivanka is about…two weeks, or maybe less, from having…a baby. And…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. In Iowa I said…you know, I think she's going to have a baby…maybe in Iowa, and I know that I would have won Iowa. I probably did win it anyway, if you add the Carson votes…-THE CROWD CHEERS. No, no! If you add the Carson votes, I think I probably won it. But we don't care…; we only care about New Hampshire right now.
But, I just wanna tell you…if she has the baby tonight in New Hampshire, that guarantees victory tomorrow… “please Ivanka have the baby tonight!” …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. “Say something!”.
MS. IVANKA TRUMP INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP TAKES BACK THE FLOOR AT 00.12.36:
And Eric and Don, just stand up, kids. I'll tell you. They have been all over place. We have Vanessa, who's married to Don. And Lara, who's married to…Eric. And I just…wanna thank. They have been on television…today. They've been on television literally more than me! So I just wanna…I wanna thank them. They've been incredible. Thank you very much.
We also…have…some friends of ours. And…we have the chief. The chief…where's Nick? Where’s our…? Oh, they're…oh, they’re getting rid of some protesters. Look. Are the police the greatest!? Are the police the greatest!? Oh, look at that! Protesters! …-THE CROWD BOOS. I told you, I like at that protesters, because that's the only way the cameras show how big the crowd is! I like…-THE CROWD LAUGHS.  Sometimes we even stage protesters. Thank you, fellas. I appreciate…enjoy your stay…-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
Where's Nick Willard!? Nick! Chief of Police! “Get over here, Nick! Get over here, Nick!” …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. This guy…is so incredible…right here. This guy is so incredible right here. The police department has been so incredible. So Nick, “I wanna thank you. We went over the other day. We met people who are in seriously good condition. Nobody gonna mess with your police department. Is that right? So Nick, thank you,  and thank the department. I appreciated it…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, a couple of weeks ago, a certain politician, [a] nice politician, Nikki Haley. [She] said…in a speech, a rebuttal speech. Uh…that…referring to me, although my name wasn't mentioned. And then ultimately it was mentioned…that I'm angry. That I'm very angry. And…that the people that are with me…are very angry. And the people that me are with me, are really with me. Those aren’t the people that are…20 percent and they can flip.
In fact, one of the things that's come out in all of the studies is that…the people that are with Donald Trump are seriously with us. Like…they're not going anywhere. They're not going anywhere. Whereas other guys…I think including…the two categories were at 92 percent, “nobody’s changing”.  Whereas other guys were at 18 percent…; in other words, they'll change if the wind changes. My people stick with us.
And it was made…and the statement was made, that…we’re angry people! We’re in the cover of Time. We're in the cover of all these of magazines. And I said, “we're not angry people”. We don't wanna be angry.
But, I said, “right now, I will agree”. Me, personally and a lot of the people that are with me…we are angry because we're angry at incompetence. We're angry at the Iran deal. Where we give away a hundred and fifty billion dollars, and get nothing…! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're angry at our trade deals, where China…is making so much money that we've rebuilt their country…! And in the meantime, our country and the infrastructure of our country is going to hell…! We're angry…when we make a Sergeant Bergdahl deal…who's a dirty, rotten…traitor! …-THE CROWD BOOS. Where six people were killed looking for him, and trying to bring him back…! Killed. Six…young…great…people. Killed. Looking for Sergeant Bergdahl…; and we make a swap, knowing that he was a traitor! They had a colonel and a general talking to these…people; …and talking to the people…that worked with him. They knew he was a traitor! They knew it! And we make a deal…! …Sergeant Bergdahl, we get. And they get five of the worst killers that they've coveted! They’ve coveted for the last nine…years! Okay?
We're tired of deals like this. We're tired of Obamacare, which we will repeal and replace…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Health care is going up 25, 35, 45, 50 percent! In the last year and a half! It's going to die…in [20]17 anyway. It has to. Unless the Republicans work out another deal! Like the budget deal…! The deal they worked out three weeks ago is a disgrace!
So, Obamacare, we're repealing. We're replacing…but we're angry. And I said, “yeah, I'm angry”. Now, when they asked, it was on the debate. The previous debate! Because I skipped…the last one, before the one the other night. And I raised…six million dollars for the veterans, right? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And somebody said, “do you regret…skipping the debate?”.
And I said, “no, not at all. I don’t”.
They said, “what do you mean? You might have won Iowa”.
I said, “I did win Iowa”. But I said, “I don't regret it. Because we raised so much money…for the vets. And we wouldn't have really been able to do that…at another time. That was just a point in time. It was a point in time”. [paa1] 
But you have to be treated properly by the networks. Last night, I understand, for the last debate, I heard…somebody read to me, that they had the highest rating…for…a…debate. A Republican primary debate. In 21 years and they think it's much longer than that. They had a great rating. What would they have had if I wasn't in the debate? What do you think? I don't know, watching…-THE CROWD MUTTERS-…watching Bush; and watching…this one, and that one…; I think they wouldn't have done so well. Who knows? I hope they do. I want everybody to do well! And we have some good people! We have some really good people! But they had this phenomenal rating…ABC just announced it. Next time they're gonna get the…opening a little bit better…-THE CROWD LAUGHS-…you know what I'm talking about.
And by the way, in all fairness to Ben Carson…? You could not hear a thing! Cause people were wondering, why is Ben standing there? Well, we were all standing there. You couldn't hear a thing! So, it was nobody's fault. It was actually a production…mishap. And it makes…for more exciting, right? Isn't it more exciting, right!? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS AND CHEERS.
So, we are people…that…are not gonna be angry…for long. Because…if I get elected…president…all of the things…that you can't stand looking at…; that you can't believe is happening to our country…; all of these horrible deals that you see being made…many of them being because everybody on the stage with me and, on the other side, they're taken care of by special interests! They have their lobbyists…; their special interests…; they're getting tremendous amounts of money! You won't be angry anymore. You'll be happy! You're gonna be very happy. [You are] Gonna be very happy…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [You are] gonna be very, very happy. [INAUDIBLE]. And it won't take a long time. It won't take a long time.
You know, recently, I just…asked for tickets. I wanted tickets for the debate. I said, “you gotta give me tickets!”. Star-power, right? I figured I had a lot of power. Gotta give…; we get 20 tickets. Everybody gets like 20 tickets.
So we called the RNC; Corey, called the RNC, “we want tickets”.
“Well, we can’t”.
“Who's got them?”. All of the donors have it! The donors! The donors…! Do you know what the donors mean…!? …-THE CROWD BOOS.
I said, “that's no good! I don't have any donors, because I'm self-funding. I don't have donors!”. So, the donors don't mean donors…-THE CROWD CHEERS. The donors…that’s a nice word ‘donor’, but it's not donors. It's special interest…; lobbyists…; all these people, that have total control over the candidates…they had all the tickets!
Now, I must tell you…Time magazine did a poll, and the poll… “who won the debate!?”. And I…won the debate with almost 70 percent of the vote…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Number two…had six percent of the votes! So, I had 70…believe me, I have no power over Time magazine. But I had 70 percent of the vote. Number two had six percent of the vote. And then it went down from there.
So, we…do well…I say, “I can't get any tickets”. And then I announced, during the debate, because I'd hear these people making these really lame statements, and you'd hear the place erupted in applause. I'm saying, “what the hell is going on over here!?”. But I understood! I understood! And I announced on television…the reason the audience is clapping for certain people up here…is because they're donors, and special interests…and lobbyists…! And they have total control over the people!
And they don't like me…because I'm like their way…and I know many of them! Actually, they do like me! I'm even friends! But if they asked me to do something, and if I'm president, I'm saying, “bye-bye! I'm working for these people out here!”…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, a thing came up…the other day. And a friend of mine calls me. He is a doctor. A great doctor! And he said, “[do] you know, Donald, great doctor and he said, you know Donald, great doctor and he said, you know Donald that the United States, which is the…largest…purchaser of drugs…in the world”…; massive, massive amounts. For Medicare, which we're gonna save…; for Social Security, for everything. But mostly Medicare.
So…we're gonna save Social Security too, by the way. We're gonna seriously…; I mean, you've been paying in for years, and now they wanna start chopping away…-THE CROWD CHEERS.
They wanna chop away at Social Security, by the way. Like they wanna chop away at the Second Amendment, which is not gonna happen! Okay!? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Like…honestly? Like they’re doing with religion. Like they're chopping away at Christianity. And believe me, they are doing that. And…this may or may not be a somewhat religious…audience, but I will tell you one thing: very soon we're gonna start saying ‘Merry Christmas’ again when it's Christmas in the stores. Very soon…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, my friend calls me up. A great doctor. He says, “you know, Donald, you're running, and you're doing great and I'm so proud of you…”.
I love to hear it and I say, “say it again” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
And he said, “but you know, with the medical, and with the drugs, the United States is the largest purchaser, [and] they don’t negotiate price. It's almost as if you wanna go, and you wanna buy…drugs. This is drugs to make you feel better, right? Drugs to make you feel better!
You wanna buy drugs. You have to get drugs. You go to the drug store, so you buy it off the counter. The United States is paying like a price, like that.
I said, “you have to be kidding”.
He said, “I don't know why”.
I said, “I do! I do!”. Because the drug companies have an unbelievable lobby…! And these guys that run for office…that are on my left, and right, and plenty of others, they're all taken care of by the drug companies. And they're never gonna put out competitive bidding.
So, I said to myself, “Wow!”. Let me just [do] some numbers. If we competitively bid…drugs in the United States, we could save as much as 300…billion…dollars…a year! Think of that! No, think of it! Think of it!
That's one…element. And the reason…I mean, you take a look, he's a friend of mine. And we don't have that much television. They're just about 600 people back there. So, I won't insult him. And he happens to be a very good guy. Woody Johnson! Right!? Woody Johnson, of Johnson & Johnson. He’s Jeb Bush’s campaign finance manager! He’s running Bush’s campaign! Now, you tell me…! …-THE CROWD BOOS. You tell me! Seriously…!
Well, well, listen to this about Jeb Bush. Number one: he’s in favor of Common Core. Number two, he’s weak on…-THE CROWD BOOS. No, Bush likes Common…; he loves Common Core! He’s the only one that I know that likes it, but that’s okay. We’re gonna bring education…back…locally! No more Common Core! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No more Common Core!
He’s also weak on immigration, and that’s not good. Remember, “they come as an act of love” …remember that whole deal?
Education is very interesting, because we’re number 30 in the world. You have Norway…; Sweden…; Denmark…; China…; and plenty of others. Then you have third world countries. And number 30…is the United States.
So, we’re number 30 in the world in education, and we’re number one per pupil in cost, by far! Number two isn’t even close. So that’s the way it is. Not gonna happen that way anymore, folks! Not gonna happen that way!
Now, with savings. So, the drug companies. They have tremendous power! If they’re talking about…300 billion…dollars…; I mean, that’s a lot of money! 300…billion! And then you wonder why! Cause a lot of people say, “how could people be so stupid as to not bid things?”. They know it’s wrong! But they’re politicians. All talk, no action. They’re good at one thing: getting re-elected. You have some good politicians! But you have…mostly people that think about… “how do I get re-elected”. Okay? “How do I get re-elected”.
So, I’m’ the only one I’m self-funding. So, when these guys see me…who I know many of the guys! I’m looking at the room! I’m standing at the debate…! I’m watching Marco sweating like a dog on my right…-THE CROWD LAUGHS AND CHEERS.
I’m watching Ted Cruz say, “no, I would never say that about Donald”. [And] But he said something bad and they asked him, “would you say it again?”.
He said, “no”. And I liked that he didn’t do that. Cause we would have ended up in a…big fight…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. But it was nice that he didn’t, honestly. So, I have him here. I have Marco…; honestly? Marco was having a bad time! And he’s a nice guy! He’s a nice guy. I mean, again, and again, and again! After three times…you know, I have a very good memory. And after three times I said, “wait a minute. He said that about…three minutes ago”. Then I said, “wait! Wait! Wait! He said that two minutes ago! It’s the same exact thing!”. So after the fifth time I said, “what the hell is going on over here!?”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
But we…need…really…smart…; really…tough…; really…fair…people; with great heart…; that wanna take care of your HealthCare! [that] wanna take care…of people that can’t afford HealthCare! You know, it’s very interesting…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We’re gonna bring down the price of HealthCare. We’re gonna bring it down big league. Big, big league! Because…president Obama lied! 28 times! He said, “You keep your doctor”. He said, “you keep your plan…”. 28 times!
I kept saying, “why doesn’t somebody gets sued for fraud when you do that?”. 28 times. And even Democrats went because of what he said. And they wished they weren’t that position! So, he lied!
But, you know what? A lot of people give me heat because I say, “we gotta take care of…”; there’s a group. There’s a small group, relatively. Of people at the bottom that…are not…going to be able…to be taken care of! And I say, “we have to…”, as Republicans. We have to take care of them! Does anybody not wanna take care of them!?
I said, “we’re not gonna have people dying on the streets!”. We’re gonna get them into a hospital and take care of them…! …-THE CROWD CHEERS-…we’re gonna get…; cause we’re not gonna have people dying in streets!
And I say that…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS; And I said…; and all the time I get [an] applause, and then they say “ohhh! He wants to do this…! He wants to do that…!”. Let me tell you: the Republican way…is people can't take care of themselves…; we have to help them! We're not gonna let them die. And I say it all the time! We're not gonna let them on the sidewalk! We're not gonna let them die on the street.
And it's not even a lot of money. We have hospitals doing no business. We gotta get them fixed up! But, we're gonna save tremendously on HealthCare. It's going to be private. We're gonna take the lines out of play. We’re gonna have so many different options…; it’s gonna be so…much…better. [It’s] gonna be less expensive.
You look at your deductibles, not only are your rates going up…but you look at deductibles right now…? Unless you get hit by a tractor, you'll never ever, be able to use…your HealthCare. And look in Washington! They don’t even want the Obamacare! They don't have to have it! I wonder why! They don't have to have it.
So, we're gonna take care of it, folks. And we're gonna have so…many…great…things…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And by the way, we're going to competitive bidding…; and I'll tell you what, we're gonna save so much money, and those drug companies are gonna hate me so much. Oh! I could just…; I know them! I was going to say…:
So, I'm at the debate. And I'm looking at the audience! And it was supposed to be…children's…; you know, college kids, and young kids! And it wasn't! Because these rich guys bought the tickets from the college students! I don't actually totally believe that! I actually think that the RNC gave them the tickets, to be totally honest. I think they actually got the tickets, not through buying. But a lot them did buy tickets.
So, I look outside, I say, “wow! That's a lot of people out there!”. I know half these people! I know the lobbyists. I know most of the special-interest. And I'm looking at that audience, and I'm saying, “this is bad stuff”. But I had the most beautiful applause from Don, and Eric, and Melania in the front row…; that’s about it. Even though I won! But I…but I understood. So you have to understand what's going.
A lot of times you think…that the politicians are doing horrible, horrible deals. And they are horrible. But you think that they're really, really not smart people. They are actually smart people! But they're working for themselves. They're doing what their lobbyists, who puts up millions, and millions, and millions of dollars every time they run. I'm just talking about the honest stuff. This is all honest stuff. There's other stuff that goes on that…you know, you have to proof, right?
I mean, you look at some of Hillary's speeches, where she gets a fortune, and she's…you know, give me a break! Take a look at that! Nobody…-THE CROWD BOOS-…right?  No, no, nobody looks at that!
Bill makes a speech; gets a tremendous amount of money…far more than anybody…and then all of a sudden, miracles happen, right? Miracles happen. And I  imagine somebody's looking at that. And by the way, a recent poll just came out, that…I am beating Hillary so badly in the general election. So…very important…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…just like we do, cause people say, “how are you gonna straighten out the budget? It's a mess”. Just like we do…with…what I just told you about medication, and buying medicines, and all of this…; [the] same thing happens with the military! We're gonna build our military so strong. But…we're buying equipment, and we're buying things that our generals don't even want! We're buying things…that they don't want. We're buying planes that they don't want! …instead of another one. Because that company has better lobbyists, and they're stronger…; we're gonna get them the equipment they want; we're gonna save a lot of money…; and we're gonna build ourselves so strong…nobody…I’m telling you, nobody is gonna play with us. We don't want to use it! Nobody is gonna play with us.
We have…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We have situations right now, where we have the migration. And we're accepting people in. And we're accepting them in by the thousands. And…you look at New Hampshire, you look at this area, with the problems you have…; the problems you have with the drugs. We’re allowing…people to come into this country that we have…absolutely…no idea. Who they are? Where they come from? Are they ISIS? Maybe, maybe not. Somebody said, “at least 90 percent of them aren’t”. Oh, really?
If we had 10 percent…; look at what those two people did…two months ago. Radicalized people. They killed 14 people…two people! Young people! They killed 14 and plenty of people right now [are] lying in the hospital…gravely wounded.
Look at Paris! 130 people killed. Now, the strongest gun-laws…anywhere in the world, is France and Paris. People don't have guns, except for the bad guys. So they walk in, they start shooting. They say, “you, get over here. Boom! You, get over here…!”. They killed 130 people…; there's a tremendous number of people right now in the hospitals…; if guns were on the other side of that equation, where the bullets could fly in a different direction…? You wouldn’t have had that kind of carnage. You wouldn't have had it! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You wouldn't have had it! So, we are going to protect our Second Amendment 100 percent! Nobody's gonna play with us. Nobody…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, this all started, when I came down, and…I made the…statement to the press. And I talked about illegal immigration. Oh, did I get it! Did I get…! Well…that was…like tough. Two or three weeks, it was brutal.
Then all of a sudden people started saying, “you know, maybe he's got a point. Maybe he's got a point…”.
Then four or five weeks later, people started…started, you know, they're coming out really strong. They're saying, “I think Trump right! There is a lot of…illegal immigration! And it's causing us a lot of economic harm. But it's causing us a lot of trouble…from a criminal standpoint!”.
Right now, as we speak…it was released last…week. We have a 179 thousand…! …illegal…criminal…immigrants. Illegal criminal…! These are people that have been convicted of crimes. Some…very…big…crimes. That means we have a 179 thousand people here…that have committed crimes, that shouldn’t…big crimes! …that shouldn't be in the country. That's bigger…a 179 thousand people. It’s bigger…than any city, by a lot, in New Hampshire. That's a massive amount of people. That's a massive amount.
So, we're gonna do something that's gonna be, whether you like…; Dwight Eisenhower, no matter what you do…; Dwight Eisenhower. I like Ike. Everybody said, “nice guy”. We either have a country folks, or we don't. Remember this. We either have a country or we don't.
So, we're gonna have to take people. We're gonna get rid of those 179. And…I don't wanna put them in our jails. I don't wanna put them in our jails. Our jails are costing us a fortune…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We're bringing them back…where they came from. And we're gonna be respected by those countries, which we’re not respected at all by those countries. We're bringing them back where they came from. And let that country put them in prison for the next 25 years, cause we're not doing it…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And they're never, ever…coming back…to our country again. They're gone. Never.
Now, but all of a sudden…we started seeing…people are focused on it! I will say this: I didn't bring up the subject…of…illegal immigration, at my opening, when I announced I was running for president, you would not have…anybody even talking about it!
The other night on this stage…I won’t mention who, somebody said, “yes, and I'm very strong on…illegal immigration. We will build a wall”. He said it very lowly. “We’ll build…”. You know, he's afraid that somebody's gonna say, “oh, that…”.
And I go, “what's this all of a sudden!?”.
Now, all of a sudden, I know I have two out of the group. They said…; the other night another one is on television. [He] said, “yes, we have to have strong borders. We will build a wall!”.
And my wife came up to me. Melania. She said, “darling. Did you hear that? That's the first time I've ever heard that said by anybody else but you!”. We have to build a wall. Walls work. Just ask Israel. Walls work! They work! I don't mean the little walls…! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I don’t mean the little walls! I mean…those walls. You know…; I mean, serious walls. I mean, Trump walls!  We're gonna build. No…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. THEN THEY START CHANTING ‘U.S.A!’ REPEATEDLY. They work. They work. And…they work if they're right.
You know, in Time magazine, and a couple of magazines I read…; I've and on the cover of Time magazine so much lately. When I was on last week, I didn't even know they were putting me in the cover. Can you imagine? That's when you're really hitting it big. When you're in the cover of Time magazine, [and] you don't even know you're gonna be in the cover. That’s good.
But they had like this ramp. They had a wall like this. And then had a ramp…built. Over the wall. And then another ramp. And they have trucks going over the ramp! And they load it up with drugs. They have trucks going right over the…; I didn't even know why they didn't just rip down the wall. It's so little. It would have been cheaper, right? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. But they have a ramp. It goes up. It goes down. They sell their drugs in the United States. [A] lot of them come over to here. To Hampshire…to New Hampshire. And they get…back on. They go back.
They build ramps over the walls! And I'll tell you something: I met the border patrol people. They're phenomenal. The reason I met them…is they called me! And they said, “we'd love to meet you”. And I went to Laredo, Texas. And it was incredible. These people are incredible. They can’t do their job! They're told…to stand back. They're told, “don't touch anybody”. They're told, “let people come in”. They don't want that. These are incredible…men and women. And they're standing there, [and] people are walking right in front. Beautiful equipment. Everything looks good. Everything is…except for one thing! They’re told, “don't do anything”. And when they do something, they say, “give them a fine, let them go”. They can go wherever they want. That's the end, that…you never see them again!
We either…have…a country or we don't. We're gonna be so strong. And just let me ask you one question about the wall. Who the hell is gonna pay for the wall? …-THE CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’. What!? …-THE CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’ EVEN LOUDER.
So, you know, the head of Mexico today said, “there's no way…we're paying for the wall. Please, inform Mr. Trump”.
I said…I said…the wall is gonna just get bigger when he has that attitude. No…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No…;
So, we're gonna build the wall: They're gonna pay for the wall. The politicians come up to me…; uh…they always come up to me when I say something. They used to come up and say, “Donald, there is no way, honestly, that you're gonna be able to build a wall. Is there?”.
I said, “of course! It's like easy! I build massive buildings, it's tougher”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
They said, “you can't really do that. Can you?”.
I said, “absolutely”.
Now, just so you understand, 15 years ago now they wanted to build a wall. You know why they didn't build it? They couldn't get an environmental impact statement approved. It's true! They couldn't because there were snakes, toads, rodents…all sorts of crap, right in the way…! They couldn’t…-THE CROWD LAUGHS-…can you believe it!? We can’t build a wall…! And you have China…in the South China Sea…ripping the hell out of the ocean, and building military bases in the middle of the South China Sea! And we can't…!
Do you think, by the way, that China got environmental impact statement? I don't think so…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. You know what they said? They said, “we're gonna build it”. They started work the following morning. That's what happens!
We are…so left behind. And we worry about the carbon footprint! And I say, you know, I say…; you know, I see Obama saying the single…greatest…problem this country has…is global warming, okay? …-THE CROWD BOOS. I'll tell you what. I just got outside. We - I'll tell you what, I just got outside. We had a blizzard outside. There's no warming…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. This is brutal. Somebody from New warming said, “this is one of the worst winters, you know”. But he's talking about global warming…!
Then he gets on a very old 747 with the old engines, and spew[s] a lot of stuff. And he takes his wife and his two really beautiful daughters, and he goes…in the 747, to Hawaii, to play golf! And then he comes back and then he has a speech on the carbon footprint1 …-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
So, folks, we're gonna have a whole different thinking. I've been saying…for a long period of time: “take the oil”. Remember? Remember this about me…-THE CROWD CHEERS. I was against because I've had Hillary say, “I don't like Donald Trump's tone” …-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
And I've heard Jeb say it too, “I don't like Donald Trump's…tone”. You know he's a low-energy guy, so he doesn't like my tone…-THE CROWD LAUGHS. But…but honestly, he said…; and she said…; and they said it the same day! And I thought to myself, “well, I can tone it down. I'm a smart guy. I’ll tone it down”. And then I said, “wait a minute! I turn on television, [and] they're chopping people's heads off in the middle east”. If you're Christian, the head comes off. If you're not Christian, the head comes off. We haven't seen stuff like this since medieval times! All right? Medieval times! And people are worried about my tone!
You heard the other night at debate. They asked Ted Cruz…[a] serious question! “Well, what do you think of waterboarding? Is it okay?”.
And honestly, I thought he'd say, “absolutely”. And he didn't. He said, “well, it's…”; you know, he's concerned about the answer, because…some people…-A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES IT-… “she just said a terrible thing”. You know what she said? “Shout it out, cause I don't wanna say…” …-THE MEMBER IN THE CROWD REPEATS IT ALTHOUGH IT IS STILL INAUDIBLE-…okay. “You're not allowed to say, and I never expect to hear that from you again…”. She said…; I never expect to hear that from you again! She said he's a pussy. That’s terrible…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VERY VIVIDLY-…terrible! Terrible! That’s terrible. Now…-THE CROWD STARTS CHANTING ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY. MR. TRUMP LAUGHS.
What kind of people do I have here!? Okay? What kind do I have? …-THE CROW CHEERS.
So, [do] you remember when… not so long ago, not so far from here…I had…a group of people. We were doing question and answer, and…somebody came up with a pretty tough statement about Obama. And…the press got very angry cause I didn't defend the president. [Do you] Remember? I took a lot of heat. And I didn't reprimand…the person that said it. So, I wanna just tell you, right now, “ma'am, you're reprimanded”, okay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS. Can she stay? Can she stay? …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND YELLS ‘YES!’. You're reprimanded.
So, for the press, this is a serious reprimand. Just so the press doesn't…-THE CROWD LAUGHS.
SO, we have lined up to make some of the great trade deals, and to take our…documents that are so bad. We have lined up the finest business people in the world. They’re all lined up! By the way, they call me, I don't even call them. These are great, great people. Some are nice. Some are horrible human beings. Some are people that you don't wanna have dinner with. But they're great at what they do. I know the greatest negotiators in the world! We need them! That's how we got into hole! With these deals that I'm telling you about. And believe me! Other…other facets of our economy it's the same thing! It's the same exact thing! We're gonna save so much money!
I was hearing the other day, they were talking about the budget. And…a political person said, “it's his…idea; and it's his goal, to have the budget balanced…within 25 years”.
I said, “25 years!?”…-THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. And he was…and he thought he was doing a good job! These are politicians, folks! They're never gonna do it! And we're gonna have…a better country! We're gonna have a better services…! We're gonna have better roads, and airports, and hospitals…! And we're gonna pay less for them! We're gonna pay less for them! We’re gonna pay less! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You know, I'm building a…big building right now, on Pennsylvania Avenue, that I got from the federal government, Obama! Can you believe it!? How good is that!? Ivanka worked on…; I mean, Ivanka what a job she did. Ay!
We have the Old Post Office in Washington DC, right? We are now…we just announced. We're gonna make it a world-class. One of the great hotels of the world. It’s an incredible building. And…we just announced…; we're two years ahead of schedule! We're gonna have it open in September…of this year! Two years ahead of schedule! …-THE CROWD CHEERS. And…we're under budget, ahead of schedule.
Wouldn't it be nice if our country, on its projects, instead of having a 2 thousand percent cost overrun…; boy, can you imagine how much those people make when you see these buildings, and…things who’s gonna cost 200 million, and it ends up costing 1.5 billion dollars? Do you know how much money these people are making!?
So, we're two years ahead of schedule. It's on Pennsylvania Avenue. And I don't give a damn if I don't make the White House. We're moving into that building. I'm gonna be on Pennsylvania Avenue…one way or the other…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, I wanna finish up, because you got a bad evening out there, and you have to drive. You have to do me a favor. I don't really care if you get hurt or not, but I want you to last until tomorrow. Okay? …-THE CROWD LAUGHS. So, don't get hurt!
If you're going to get hurt, and if you're gonna drive like a maniac, do it tomorrow!  And I promise I will come and visit you in the hospital. I promise. All right? No. Okay. So, I'm only kidding. I want you to be…;  I want you to be careful.
But look. It's so important that we take care of our vets. Our vets are being treated so badly…; And I have Al. Baldasaro, who's with me all the time. Who's the greatest guy there is. Who loves the vets. Who loves us. And who knows what we're doing.
But we're gonna take care of our vets. We're gonna take care of our military. We're gonna build up our military, it's gonna be a thing of beauty.
By the way, I have to tell you: it's the absolute cheapest thing we can do. Cause nobody's gonna play with us. It's the cheapest thing we can do. But we're gonna take care of our HealthCare. We're gonna take care of…every facet…of our country. And we're gonna start winning again. Folks, we're gonna start winning again. Because…we…don't…win…anymore. We don’t win on trade…; we don't win on anything.. We can't beat ISIS with our military! Can you imagine…General George Patton, “we can't beat ISIS”? He would beat them…by the time he walked down to the front row! We don't beat ISIS.
We're gonna start winning again…! We're gonna win on every…single…level…of this country. We're gonna win every single time we do something. We're gonna win. We're not gonna make stupid deals anymore! We're gonna be led by smart people…; and we’re gonna have our smartest people representing us.
Now, I leave you with this. I’ll leave you with this. It's so important…it’s so important: tomorrow is going to be the beginning. I hear we have a lead…it doesn't matter to me. It doesn't matter to me. Who the hell knows what the lead is? You have some snow. It looks like it's gonna stop. It's so important…! We have something so special going on. You have to go out. You have to vote. We have to celebrate tomorrow evening. We have to have a great victory It's so important, because we are gonna make…America great again. We are going to make America…greater, greater, greater…than it's ever…been…before…-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And I love you all…! I love you all…! You’re special…! We will see you tomorrow…! Let's have a big, big victory tomorrow…! …-THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We love you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you! Amazing people! Thank you very much, New Hampshire! Thank you!
