So…oh, we love those signs! Make America Great Again, very simple. Make America Great Again! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So, in riding over, there are hundreds of thousands of people all along the highways, and they can't get in! In other words, you're very good at real estate, you got in! Congratulations! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Congratulations! It's a great way…to spend a very, very important day, and you know what that day is. We have so many friends, and so many family. And…uh…look, Memorial Day, [it’s] so important! It's our day, and…we have to be very proud of it. And we are very proud of it. And it's an honor to be with you. Thank you very much, I appreciate it…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So, Rolling Thunder, I will say, no matter where I go, Rolling Thunder. Look at all these bikers! Do we love the bikers? Yes! We love the bikers…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But all over the place, no matter where I go there's bikers! And they come with the bikers, and the bikes are all over. We've had cases where we'd have…like I'd make a speech, and we'd have 500 bikes! We'd have 1,000 bikes! And I said, “what are they all doing here!?”.
 
And my people would say, “they're here to protect you, Mr. Trump”. It's an amazing thing! It's an amazing thing! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And I wanna tell you, some of these people are tough! And some of the guys I see on that bike, I tell you what, they're rough! And I get out, and I shake their hands, and they are…I'll tell you, there is love, there is love, and it's an incredible feeling. And that's why I wanted to be with you today, and I really appreciate being invited, cause we're with you 100 percent! We're with you 100 percent! 100 percent! Uh, thank you! …–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEBODY IN THE CROWD–…he just said, ‘and we're with you 100 percent’…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Well, we're gonna do some things that we can't have Hillary Clinton be our president, that I can tell you! …–THE CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’–…that's all we need! That's all we need!
 
And just so you know, and speaking of that, as you know, she wants to abolish the Second Amendment! Remember that! …–THE CROWD BOOS. And we…are going…to protect our Second Amendment…every…little…inch…of our Second Amendment! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And the NRA, as you saw, the NRA just came out last week and they endorsed Donald Trump, sooner than they've ever endorsed any candidate ever before! So that was an honor. And they are amazing people. Amazing people! …–THE CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY.
 
So, we have a lot of things that we have to straighten out in our country. Number one, we have to rebuild our military. It's been decimated! It's been decimated! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
When you think of the great General Patton, and…all of our great generals, they're spinning in their graves when they watch we can't beat ISIS! We're gonna beat ISIS. We're gonna knock the hell out of them. We're gonna end it! We're gonna end it! Remember that…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So we're gonna rebuild our military. We're gonna make it bigger, and bigger, and better, and…stronger…than ever before! We have no choice! We have to do it! And by the way, it's the single…cheapest…thing…we can do, believe me! So, we're gonna rebuild our military, and we're gonna take…care…of our veterans…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Our veterans…have been treated…so badly in this country! You have…a…secretary that last week said, “no, the wait time doesn't matter! Forget about wait time!”.
 
I know people, and I've gotten to know so many vets. And we just raised almost 6 million dollars for the vets because I didn't do a television show. I said, “let's do this!”. And we're announcing on Tuesday all of the groups that we put up this money, and we raised this tremendous amount of money, cause we love the vets, and that's gonna be announced on Tuesday. All of the groups that have gotten the money will be announced on Tuesday. We're having a big press conference, and it's gonna be great, and it's gonna be a great day!
 
But we have to take care of our vets. And in many cases illegal immigrants are taking much care, really, are taken much better care…by this country, taking care of then our veterans! And that's…not…going to happen! Okay!? It's not…going…to happen! We're not gonna allow that…to happen any longer! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY.
 
Now, we have so many different cases, folks, where…you look at what's going on. In the border, when I announced on June 16th that I was running for president…by the way, who the hell would have thought this was going to happen, right!? Right!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
[Do you] Remember they said, June 16th! I watched all these pundits. By the way, the press…!? Liars! They're…the worst! They are the worst! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS–…low lives! These are…some of the worst, most dishonest people!
 
I actually had a story today. It was sort…it…of interesting, somebody wrote [it]. But. you know, I have 73 people on my staff and I won! Long, [and] ahead of schedule. You know, I was supposed to be gonna Cleveland, and July…! And it was gonna be a big fight…! And they didn't know if I could win then! They were gonna have even…they even talked about having a second convention in August, stuff that nobody ever even heard about.
 
And, look what happened! I’m…won! We won! We! We! I'm just a messenger! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But…we won, and Hillary can't even beat Bernie! She can't beat him! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And beating Bernie would not be tough, in all fairness.
 
Although he is right about one thing: trade. [The] Guy is right about trade! He can't do anything about it, but we do agree on one thing: trade. Our country is being ripped off so badly on trade. We are gonna make the greatest trade deals you've ever seen! We're gonna make our country rich again, strong again! It's going to be ‘America first’! Not all these other countries that don't even like us! It's going to be…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…it's going to be America first!
 
We're gonna be the smart country again! We're not gonna be the dummies…that the world takes advantage of.
 
Even in our military, you've been seeing me! We defend so many countries! We defend Japan! We defend Germany! We defend…Saudi Arabia. We defend South Korea! When the maniac in North Korea…raises his head, we send our ships, our planes, we're all ready to go…! But we're not properly taking care of, folks! And this is in 40 years ago where we could do it. We’re the highest tax nation in the world.
 
By the way, my tax plan…? We bring it down so much, especially for business and for the middle-income people. We bring the numbers down so low…! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Lower than any other candidate running, even the ones that have already been wet…vanquished. We have…the lowest tax. We have a great plan. I don't care about the lowest. We have a great plan! It's gonna put…people…back! They're gonna wanna have an incentive, to go out and work, and make a lot of money, and have great jobs!
 
And we don't have great jobs. If you look at the job, the unemployment rate, the real number is 20 percent, and it could be more than that. Because people that look for jobs and give up, [so] they're considered statistically employed. Folks, no more! We are going to create jobs. We're not gonna let Mexico and all these other countries take our companies! They’re taking our…; you look at Carrier…! …you look at Nabisco! …you look at Ford! Hundreds of other companies, they're moving to Mexico! They're moving to other nations! And our people are left jobless. And we don't manufacture things.
 
I looked, we just won the primary systems in New York, in Pennsylvania, and Maryland…all over! Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware…everywhere! We had a big string! And then Indiana! Oh, do we love Indiana! …–THE CROWD CHEERS. Because that was gonna be the firewall for my opponents! And it turned out to be the firewall for me, we won in a landslide.
 
Of course, I wanna thank the great Bobby Knight! It's not bad when you have Bobby Knight, right!? Bobby Knight in Indiana!
 
So, we're not gonna let it happen anymore that a Carrier can…announce, very routinely, 1,400 people, “you're fired. We're moving to Mexico”.
 
[If] They wanna do that, and there are consequences! And I'll tell you what the consequences are: every time they make an air conditioner…we're gonna have strong border. And by the way, we are going to have a wall, and I mean a real wall! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
We are going to have a wall…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Who's gonna pay for the wall? …–THE CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’. Not…even…a doubt, by the way!
 
You know…Mexico, and I have no problem! I love Mexico, I love the Mexican people! So many of them…I do business with them; they work for me…I have thousands! They're phenomenal people! Their leaders are too smart for Obama! And too smart for our leaders. Our leaders are selling us down the tubes!
 
So when Carrier goes to Mexico, every time they make an air conditioning unit, and try and sell it across our now very strong borders, you know what's gonna happen? 35 percent tax! And you know what's gonna happen then!? Then they're not gonna wanna move! When they know that's going to happen, they're not moving! Because we're losing our guts! We're losing our companies! We're losing our jobs! We're losing manufacturing!
 
When I was campaigning, in New York and other places…I look at upstate New York, out on the island…places I've known all my life. I grew up in New York! You look at these states, [and] it's absolutely barren! You see these factories that were vibrant, 20 years ago.
 
And by the way, Bill Clinton signed NAFTA! Probably the worst…deal…economically…–THE CROWD BOOS–…that this country has done in a hundred years! NAFTA has single-handedly wiped out much…really! Single-handedly wiped out so much of our manufacturing! It's moved to Mexico and other places!
 
So, Hillary is…a disaster! She doesn't know anything about jobs! She doesn't know anything about jobs. She thinks the VA is doing good! Did you see her statement a couple of months ago!? “The Veterans Administration is doing a good job”. If she thinks they're doing a good job, then I've been wasting a lot of time, because I know the vets! And they are miserable with what's happening.
 
I have a vet that came up to me. He waited seven days…to get…to see a doctor! And after seeing the doctor, the doctor said, “I'm sorry, I can't take care of you now. I'm going on vacation”. And this is happening all over.
 
And you're losing…thousands of people are dying! [It’s] Hard to believe even…of our vets, our most cherished people. Thousands of people are dying, waiting in line to see a doctor. That…is not…gonna happen…anymore! And if there’s a wait!? We're gonna give the right for those people to go to a private doctor, or even a public doctor, and get themselves taken care of! And we're gonna pay the bill! And that should have happened a long time ago! That should have happened a long time ago! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So, we're gonna have great trade deals. China made 505 billion dolllars in terms of trade deficit with this country. Think of it. It's almost like a miracle. For years it's been going on, 300 billion trade deficit. 400 billion, 500 billion trade deficit.
 
You would almost say, “how can our country even survive!?”. But we're right now, we're sitting in a bubble, we're right now in big trouble. We owe 19 trillion dollars. We made a bad…and thank you for that sign. Look at that man! …–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEBODY IN THE CROWD–…you are definitely a Trump man! Thank you, I appreciate it…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY.
 
But we're gonna bring it back, And we're gonna bring it back fast! And frankly, when NATO…you know, you look at the 28 NATO countries; many of those countries are not living up to their obligation of paying us. So we're protecting NATO. We're protecting these countries, and they're not paying up!
 
We're protecting Japan. One of the generals…and I love Japan! We're gonna continue to protect Japan, hopefully! But you always have to be prepared to walk, folks. You know, you always have to be prepared to walk. We don't want to. But, one of the generals was on television the other day, "Donald Trump said he's going to protect Japan!” And…I do want that. But he said, “we pay! They don't understand! Japan pays 50 percent of the cost of the protection! Doesn't Mr. Trump know that!? Japan is paying 50 percent of the costs!”.
 
Now you know this, if he says 50 percent, it's much less. But when…I heard that from one of the dishonest reporters that I do business with, these are the worst. But when I heard that, I just asked a stupid question. I said, “well, let me ask you, they're paying 50 percent of the costs to defend themselves. Why aren't they paying a hundred percent?”. Right? You know the kind of money we're talking about!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And then they wonder why this country is poor! Cause we're a debtor nation! So we have it!
Think of this: Saudi Arabia. We protect Saudi Arabia. Before the oil went down, and now they're still making a fortune, they're still making plenty. Before the oil went down, Saudi Arabia was making 1 billion dollars a day! We protect them. We…they wouldn't be there…by…if we gave up on them 20 years ago, or 10 years ago…? Like a week later, whatever it might be, they'd be gone.
Saudi Arabia, why aren't they paying us, at least what the hell it costs!? We have leases where we actually pay rent! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So it's gonna be a whole different ballgame.
 
And, let me tell you, we are gonna actually get along with these countries. We will get along with them. And China is an example! The biggest bank in the world is a tenant of…mine in one of my building. I get along with them great! The Bank of America building in San Francisco, I own it with a group. It's a great building, through China!
 
1290 Avenue of the Americas, [I] own it! Through China. One of the biggest buildings in Manhattan! I own…all this stuff! I dealt…I got it through China, indirectly! And it was through war! It wasn't through friendship, believe me! It was not easy! It was not pleasant! Because they…want to take…whatever we have.
 
You take a look at the intellectual property that China is stealing from our country! Hundreds of billions of dollars a year! We don't even mention it! We don't even talk about it!
 
So those days are gonna change. And here's the thing: we'll get along better with China. In fact, they just renewed their lease in the building. I said, “are you sure they wanna renew their lease?”. You know, I’ve become a little hostile. But [do you] see? What people don't know, [is] I'm not angry at China, and I'm not angry at Japan! They send us…hundreds of thousands, millions of cars! We give them nothing!
 
You look at the trade imbalance. We send them beef! And they don't even wanna take the beef, right!? We send them wheat! They send us cars! The…the…the numbers are staggering!
 
Now, I'm not angry…at Japan! And I'm not angry at Mexico! They're killing us on the border! And they're killing us with trade. [There are] So many companies moving to Mexico, it’s the new China, smaller version, but the new China. I'm not angry at China! I'm angry at our president, for being a grossly…incompetent…president of the United States…to allow this to happen! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. To allow this to happen!
 
So, folks, in a nutshell, it's an honor to be here. And, I'll tell you what really amazes me. I thought this would be like…Dr. Martin Luther King, where the people would be lined up from here all the way to the Washington Monument, right? Unfortunately, they don't allow them to come in! And, you have all these people on the roads, and they're all waving and going crazy! We've gotta do this…for next year, where Rolling Thunder allows everybody to be here! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Because, I'm telling you, coming in…I said this before; coming in…hundreds of thousands of people! The most beautiful bikes I've ever seen in my life. We do like those bikes. The most beautiful bikes.
 
We gotta get those people here! And I know one thing: you're gonna all behave yourselves, right? …–THE CROWD CHEERS.
 
And I know one…another thing. There won't be any paid agitators in this group, okay!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
You know, I make a speech…I made the speech yesterday, we had 25,000 people. And then you have 200 people outside, and they're like professionals! You know, the signs are made professionally…; they have the masks…; the whole thing. You know, whenever you see a mask…;
 
By the way, the police tell me this: do we love our police!? Do we love our police!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Okay? You’d better believe. Law…enforcement…does…a great job!
 
But they told me, “anytime you see a mask!? They're professionals”. And they're all masks. [There were] So many people with masks on, cause they go from one to the other, they agitate.
 
And I said, “boy, I'll bet there aren't gonna be agitators…”, look at all these people! “I'll bet there aren't gonna be agitators in this crowd”. If there are agitators in this crowd…nah…! Remember! Be very nice to them, folks. I'm saying that on the record. I'm saying that for the press! Be very nice! Don't hurt them! Don't hurt them! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS AND CHEERS TIMIDLY.
 
You know I've had some fun. We've started…we have the biggest rallies by far, far bigger than Bernie Sanders has, far bigger. I mean, look at today! They say you have 600,000 people, essentially, here…trying to get in! But that's…gonna…not gonna happen. But they say you have 600,000. So we have these tremendous rallies. [And] Nobody ever talks about it! They don't talk about it!
 
On the other side, they talk. I had a rally where I had 18,000 people. Bernie had seven. With my rally, they said, “Donald Trump made a speech today, blah, blah, blah”, that was it.
 
With Bernie's rally, [at was at the] same time, they said, “Bernie Sanders had a tremendous crowd of seven thousand”.
 
I said, “I had 11,000 people more than he did!”. They don't mention it. And they won't mention the kind of massive crowds that we have here today. And these are great people, great Americans…! These are unbelievable…people!
 
So, I just wanna tell you, folks: our country…doesn't…win…anymore! We don't win with military. We don't win with health care. We don't win with borders! We don't win with…education…!? We don't win with anything! And by the way, we are gonna repeal and replace Obamacare, just remember that! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And we certainly don't win for our veterans. It's gonna change, folks. We're gonna win so much…that you're all gonna come, and I have friends in this…uh…crowd that are big bikers. People you would least suspect, and they are bikers, and they love it, and they're proud of it!
 
But, we are gonna start winning again. And we're gonna win so much! We're gonna win, win, win! We are going to win so much…!
 
Some of you, my friends in particular, will call me up, and they'll go, “Mr. President, please, don't win so much. It's not nice! You're beating everybody! You're beating all the countries! You're beating here…! [It’s] Too many jobs! [It’s]Too much success! [It’s] Too much wealth! Mr. President, don't win, please!”.
 
And I'm gonna say, “we're gonna keep winning. Because we…are going to make…America…great again!”. And I'll tell you, we're gonna make it greater than ever…before, and we can do it! Thank you, everybody! Thank you!
