Thank you. Thank you.
 
Wow!
 
You know, and I say it: The silent majority is back!
 
We…really are in a position that we haven't been in in a long time. The people are speaking, it's an amazing thing, it's like a movement…and this is happening…and so many other things…
On Friday I'm going to be in Alabama…and it was going to be 500 people…and the room held about a thousand. And they heard that…we were there, and within about two minutes that room wasn't big enough…so they went to a room that held 2,000 people, and they heard that wasn't big enough…and now they went to the convention center and they heard that wasn't big enough. They're gonna end up being 30 to 40,000 people in Alabama!
 
So…-CROWD CHEERS-and…New Hampshire has been so amazing! I mean, the relationship I've developed with so many people, even in the room, has been…in…there incredible people…
 
Somebody said ‘I love New York’. They said, ‘what are they like in New Hampshire…?’. I said, ‘you know what they like? They’re hard-working people that love the country. That's what they're like! –CROWD CHEERS. And you know, right down the road… -SOMEONE IN THE CROWD CALLS OUT SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP ANSWERS BACK-… ‘thank you’.
 
Right down the road…we have Jeb – BUSH-, -CROWD BOOS. Very small crowd. We have 2500. You have the best real estate by the way. You have the best real estate. There are other rooms that…there’re overflow rooms all over this building…they have closed-circuit television. There are people outside with speakers. So I give you credit and to the other folks I have to say, ‘we love you equally as much, but the next time you're gonna get here a little bit earlier. Right?’ Something like that.
 
But, you know, I look at what's wrong…with…even our party. And, the other day…and I say it, very strongly, I heard…that…Jeb Bush, that Marco Rubio, that…Governor Walker –A MEMBER IN THE AUDIENCE CALLS OUT ‘WHO!?’. MR. TRUMP PAYS THEM MIND- ‘Who?’ ‘Who?’ –MR. TRUMP PRETENDS MR. WALKER IS A MR. NOBODY. THE CROWD LAUGHS-…that's what they're saying, ‘Who?’. They're gonna spend a huge amount of money on fighting Trump! And I say, ‘I think that's okay’. Does it matter…haven't you sort of heard everything already…? It's like sort of like getting boring.But, they…you know, Jeb has a hundred and fourteen…million dollars…the others have a lot. Hillary has sixty. I think Hillary's in big trouble by the way folks –CROWD CHEERS.
 
So I heard the other day that the three of them are gonna spend a lot of money on negative ads about me! So…I think…you know, you can listen…listen – MEMBERS IN THE AUDIENCE START YELLING INAUDIBLE WORDS. ONE OF THEM CALLS OUT ‘YOU’RE FIRED!’ AND MR. TRUMP REPORTS IT-… ‘You’re fired!’ –MR. TRUMP, LAUGHING. But, but I just heard it. They said they're gonna spend… -AUDIENCE KEEPS ON YELLING. MR TRUMP ADDRESSES IT-. ‘I love these rowdy crowds…isn’t it great? There’s spirit! There's spirit! –CROWD CHEERS. You know what? I'll tell you what! You know what's happening to Jeb's crowd, as you know right down the street? They're sleeping! They're sleeping now.
 
But you know, I saw that…Jeff made a statement, and I wrote it down because I couldn't even…I couldn't even believe it. We're talking about Iraq! Okay? Now we're in for two trillion dollars…thousands of lives! Thousands! Great people. Great people. Wounded warriors who are the best –CROWD APPLAUDS. And we love our wounded warriors…! They're wounded warriors, they're great warriors. And…they're all over. We love them! They were all over. And Jeb made a statement about the possibility of going back into Iraq. He said…I give you the exact quote: ‘the Iraqis want our help’. We don't even know if there is an Iraq. Every time the bullets fire they run –CROWD LAUGHS. They leave our Humvees, they drop the equipment…you know, the enemy has our best equipment. We have the old stuff. So he said, ‘the Iraqis want our help…’. Now listen to this. This is after all we've spent. –MR. TRUMP KEEPS ON READING THE QUOTE FROM MR. JEB BUSH. ‘They want to know that we have skin in the game’. Can you believe it!? After…years of fighting. Unsuccessfully! …because of the way we fight. I mean…we should…can you believe…?. ‘Skin in the game’ –MR. TRUMP ALLUDES TO MR. BUSH’S WORDS. And I thought that was…incredibly dumb. As dumb as…on immigration…an act of love, it's an act of love, when they come in –CROWD BOOS. It's an act of love –CROWD BOOS. Or a belief in Common Core. And the reason I talk about Jeb is, you know, he was supposed to do well in New Hampshire. He's, you know, going down like a rock. But how the hell does he do…!? how does he do well!? Between Common Core, which he desperately wants… that means your children are…they’re gonna be educated by the bureaucrats in Washington. I think New Hampshire wants to educate their children locally. Do we agree with that? Do we agree? –CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
So our…our problem is… -SOMEONE IN THE CROWD CALLS OUT SOMETHING. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES IT- ‘What's that?’ – THE MEMBER IN THE AUDIENCE REPEATS IT OUT LOUD AND MR. TRUMP AND THE REST OF ATTENDANTS LAUGH. Ahh, my group! These are my people! –CROWD APPLAUDS. These are my people! I don't mind if you shut up. Be carefully with language cause you're on about seven live broadcasts tonight.
 
But you know, the problem we have is we…don't, as a country…we don't have victories anymore. We don’t have victories! When was the last time we had a victory!? We make this horrible deal with Iran…which is…a disgrace! And, by the way, could be one of the worst deals, you know, depending on what ultimately happens –CROWD LAUGHS. It could be…it could go down as one of the worst deals in…history! Because it's going to…, in my opinion, you'll have nuclear proliferation all over the Middle East and maybe beyond. You can see things that you've never seen before.
 
You know, the deal. Not only the 24-day deal. The 24 days…how about this? You have 24 days, but you know, before the clock starts ticking, it's a long process before you get to day one. Nobody knows that. –MEMBER IN THE AUDIENCE CALLS OUT SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES WHAT THEY HAVE SAID-… ‘Well, bring them home is right. In many ways, bring them home’.
 
But in one way, and I'm the first one…! If you look at…July…of 2004. Reuters! Reuters is here. They're all here. They're all over the place. Look at these people! –CROWD BOOS. Yes, they're all over the place. But if you look at Reuters, July of 2004, you're going to see Trump say, and…and by the way, before I say it: I believe more strongly in the military and military strength than anybody running by a factor of a billion –CROWD APPLAUDS. And in the recent…big CNN poll that was just…just came out yesterday, they said, ‘in terms of the economy and jobs Trump is like…forget it. So far ahead…many, many times ahead’. And I was so happy to see in terms of…security and ISIS…I was way ahead of everybody else! Cause I think, you know, we all know I'm gonna do a good job. I'm taking the jobs back from China. I'm taking the jobs back from Japan –CROWD CHEERS.
 
I'm taking the jobs back from Mexico. You know who's moving to Mexico? Who likes Oreos!? Does does anybody like Oreos!? We all do, right? Nabisco! Nabisco…! …is leaving Chicago, and they're moving, a big plant, to Mexico –CROWD BOOS. I don't like Oreos anymore, okay? –CROWD LAUGHS. No, but seriously, Nabisco! I mean…there's an American company…: Ford! I tell it all the time with Ford. Two and a half billion dollars they're spending on a car plant in Mexico. Now they'll make cars they'll put them into our country, no tax, no nothing… I…do we benefit!?
I went to the Wharton School of Finance; you know…like…like…really smart people go to the Wharton School of Finance. I will tell you –CROWD LAUGHS. I'm trying to figure out…! who was the person that said it's good for us to have…the…our companies building plants…in Mexico, where they make cars…and they sell them to us, and other people, perhaps…how does that help us? And I actually gave them a great idea, and you probably heard this, because I've used it a couple of times. We have the illegals drive the cars over the border, you save a fortune. Is that correct? No tax, no nothing. Is that correct? –CROWD APLPAUDS. No, no, they come in with no tax, and…with me…we're not gonna let our companies go! We're not gonna let them go! We want cars…to be made, in all fairness, in America or even Michigan. Do we agree…?  I was at Michigan! Right? It's okay. I mean, we're in New Hampshire, but…Michigan would be fine! We're all happy with that. You'd rather have it in New Hampshire, right? But let's…let Michigan have some of their factories back for the cars.
 
But they're taking…our jobs…and, by the way, not just China, and Japan! I was in Los Angeles I saw ships…the biggest ships I've ever seen…with cars! They just keep rolling off, rolling off. You know –WHAT- we give Japan? Beef! We give them wheat. Wheat! It's not quite a good deal. You know, if you look at the numbers…they're up here –MR. TRUMP MARKS AN IMAGINATIVE BENCHMARK IN THE AIR- we're down here. With everybody! I don't blame Japan; I don't blame Mexico…I don't blame China! And I say it all the time: They’re leaders are much…smarter and sharper….and more cunning. You know, the word cunning is important. But thy’re more cunning than our leaders. Our be…our leaders are babies! But more than anything else… -MEMBER IN THE AUDIENCE CALLS OUT AN INAUDIBLE WORD. MR. TRUMP PAYS MIND AND POINTING AT THEM UTTERS- ‘They’re politicians, very good, thank you, I love that word-…you know, I had to fill out a form. I was at jury duty the other day. Did you see it? I said, ‘sure good’. And I enjoyed it. And actually it was a great experience, but I had to fill out a form, and they said, ‘profession’ –CROWD LAUGHS. I…I…it was a line…! It said… ‘what profession?’ … ‘what's your profession?’ and I said, ‘I refuse to say I'm a politician!’. ‘ I can't say it’! …So if you people don't mind, you know what I did? I put ‘real estate’, okay? I couldn't say, I just couldn't say…these politicians… oh, I can't take them!
 
Now, I've dealt with them all my life. I've dealt with them all my life! And just remember, and it's very important, all of this money that I was talking about…a little while ago. All of that money comes from my friends. Guys that I know! I used to be one of them! I know the system better than anybody. All of that money that's going to…Hillary, and Jeb, and Scott, and Marco…and all of them! The people that are putting up that money or…it's like puppets: bing, bing –ONOMATOPOEIC SOUNDS TO SHOW BETTER WHAT HE INTENDS TO COMMUNICATE. You saw that. They had it on Jimmy Fallon, I’d better not do it anymore: the bing, bing, bang, bang, boom…I was imitating puppets and I said, ‘maybe I shouldn't do that anymore’. But it's true! They're totally controlled! Totally…! Controlled, by special interests, lobbyists and donors. They’re totally –CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
And those people…I mean, actually, they do like me! You know those people…they're friends of mine in many cases… some cases they're enemies, some of them are terrible people, but I know them! But I know them all!
 
You know, I see the…the Hamptons and on Fifth Avenue, and Park Avenue, and all these great locations…they're having parties…well, when a guy gives a million dollars…and much more than that! You know some give much more. But do you think they're talking about like… nothing? They're talking turkey –MEANING IMPORTANT MATTERS- …they're talking lots of different things! And with me….I don't need anybody's money. I don't want anybody's money! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So…
 
Now with that being said I have to say, people are sending in money! –CROWD LAUGHS. One woman…one woman sent in seven dollars and twenty-four cents –CROWD APPLAUDS. And you know what? She wrote me a two-page letter! And I actually read it, for the seven… you know the guys don't want to give me a million I said, ‘oh, forget it, who cares?’. You know, and I know these guys. They're not good people but, yeah, some of them are okay.
 
But…but the woman writes me a beautiful letter, how she wants to see their country, she’s 84 years old, how she wants to see our country…
Another one sent me 17 dollars and 22 dollars and…you know, it's really an amazing thing. And I love that in a way, cause, it's like…they're investing…it's not gonna mean much in terms of dollars…but they're investing in the campaign. They're investing it with their heart! They're not saying ‘you have to give me an ambassadorship’, ‘you have to do something bad for the country’, ‘you have to let Ford go into Mexico’, -CROWD APPLAUDS… ‘you have to approve the Nabisco deal’, ‘you have to do…’. All of the stuff…it's all deals! It's all deals, and it's not good! –A MEMBER IN THE AUDIENCE CALLS OUT SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR TRUMP APPRECIATES HIS PARTICIPATION – ‘Thank you’. 
 
And it's not good! And we gotta stop it! We gotta stop it. So…we're gonna take some questions, you know… –A MEMBER IN THE AUDIENCE CALLS OUT SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR TRUMP APPRECIATES HIS PARTICIPATION – ‘Thank you’. We're gonna take some questions. I'll tell you what. So this was a town hall. They call it a ‘town hall’. I never saw a town hall with 2,500 people sitting in the theater –CROWD CHEERS-… but we're gonna call it a town hall. Right? –CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
But…we are gonna work really hard. And you know, everybody said, ‘he's not gonna run’. You remember that, right? ‘never gonna run’. Then they said, ‘nah! …but, he's never gonna file those papers’…not the financial papers, I had to sign my life away, with one page, you know, it says you're signing your life away. They said, ‘well, he'll never sign that’. Then I signed that,  they said, ‘wow, did he…? well he announced he's running, we had the event…now he signed the paper’. Then they're gonna say…then they did say… ‘he's never gonna file his financial document. Because he's probably not as rich as people think’. Right? So then I filed 90, I think it's 98 or 102…pages…of financial. And it was…much, much bigger than anybody anticipated! Actually, I wanted to file the financials because…you know, I'm sort of a bragger, you know I knew the number…you know? –CROWD CHEERS. No, I actually wanted to… people than… you know, I'm a private company, they don't know.
 
If these people are analyzing…one of them analyzed: ‘he's only worth three billion dollars. But we haven't been able to…look at..,about 200 of his corporations. I said, ‘well, how do you figure what’s worth that?’. I mean it's amazing. So I filed the papers and they were…spectacular! And I…I did a great job. And the reason I tell you that…is not to say I did a great job. It's to say that…we need somebody with that mentality to straighten out our country! We can't have…–CROWD CHEERS-…we can't have…we just can't have these people…that don't know what they're doing…on all of these….! Yes, as an example, I call Carl Icahn, who's a great guy.
 
Now, people…some people won't like him…maybe some people don't think he's a nice person…who cares!? Right? Do you want a nice person? I…I…we got plenty enough…we got too many nice people! I want people…but Carl is a brilliant businessman. Made a fortune. I said, ‘Carl, I'd love you to do me a favor’. If I pull this off, and if I get in…I want to make the country so strong financially…cause, you know, some people say, ‘it sounds crass’.  I had one person I said we're gonna make the country rich again and then we're gonna make the country great again! The person said, Mr. Trump that sounds so crass’. I said, ‘what's crass?’ – THE PERSON ASNWERS BACK-… ‘Rich!’. I said, we gotta be rich to…make it great! We're right now a debtor nation. We owe 18 trillion. It's going to go up to 20 trillion, 21, 22… 24 is like the magic number that's a disaster! And we're going there, you know that! And…and we need…! we need –SOMEONE FROM THE CROWD INTERRUPTS. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES IT BY POINTING AT THEM-… ‘it won't be long’. We need this kind of…a mentality… to make great deals!
You know, an example…is not financial but it's the same thinking. The Iran deal, we all know about…everybody's talking about. Everybody thinks it's been…it's so bad! It's so bad. But take Sergeant Bergdahl…does anybody remember that name? So… -CROWD BOOS. So…this is the way we think. So we get a traitor named Bergdahl, a dirty, rotten traitor…-CROWD APPLADUS-…who, by the way, when he deserted…six young, beautiful people were killed, trying to find him. Right? And you don't even hear about him anymore! Somebody said the other day, ‘well, he had some psychological problems…well, you know…’. You know, in the old days bing bong –MR. TRUMP PRODUCES ONOMATOPOEIC SOUNDS ALONG WITH A GESTURE AS OF SHOOTING. THE CROWD LAUGHS-…when we were strong! …when we were strong.
 
So we get Bergdahl, a traitor…and they get five of the people that they most wanted anywhere in the world! Five killers that are right now back on the battlefield doing the job! –CROWD CHEERS. That's the kind of deals we make! That's the kind of deals we make. Right? Am I right? –POINGINT AT THE CROWD. Six men. Died. –NOW MR. TRUMP PAYS ATTENTION TO SOMEONE APPARENTLY INTERVENING FROM THE CROWD-… ‘that's right’. ‘Oh, probably more than that…they probably don't…and you know, the amazing thing…I said, ‘well you know what? First of all, you should…you can't do those trades. Those trades are no good to start off. Those trades are no good. You can't do them. But…they knew, because the colonel and the general went to see…the people that knew Bergdahl, they knew he was a traitor before they made the deal! So I said to myself… ‘who would make these deals?’ ‘Who would do it?’ But that's what we have running our country. We have people…we have people that are…stupid we have people that do not have our best interests at heart. They do not have our best interests at heart. I mean, how they can allow some of these things to happen is incredible.
 
So, we'll talk about it tonight and…I have a long time…you know, they have a huge problem at LaGuardia…so I can stay with you people as long as you want. All right? Okay? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So let's take a…few questions, or a lot of questions…and we have microphones out in the audience, and…and this is really a great facility, and I want to thank the people for making it available because this is really a great.
 
Okay! Where are your mics!? Where are your mics!? Where are those microphones? You got them? Okay. Someplace over here
 
·       MR. TRUMP NOW ALLOWS QUESTIONS. A ROUND OF QUESTIONS STRETCH FROM THIS MOMENT (Min. 00.19.41 until End).
 
Ma'am, yes, ma'am. Go ahead. Okay? Oh, the young man wants to ask too. Go ahead…– POINTING AT THE WOMAN-… you go first; we'll get you safe – POINTING AT THAT ‘YOUNG MAN’. Go ahead, take the mic. You can ask any question you want: miserable, vicious, horrible…go ahead. Hand her the mic, why don’t you –SOMEONE FROM THE STAFF- hand her the mic?
 
·       ATTENDANT MAKES A QUESTION.
·       MR. TRUMP REPLIES:
 
 
Well, I would say something's gotten him in trouble because we're certainly not doing very well. You know, we have 93 million people in this country that don't have a job. We have 93 million! And then you hear ‘we have a 5.4 percent unemployment’. We don't have a…we could have…you know, a report came out, the other day, and said it could be 42 percent. But let's say…I've been saying it's 20, 21 percent, but that's a real number. If you stopped looking for a job, you're considered essentially, statistically you're considered employed. How many people have given up? And then I see this phony report: 5.4 percent! And you have 93 million people out of work. Go ahead… - ADDRESSING THE WOMAN-…I…I…look…I didn't want to talk about it…it…it…it…when you talk about Obama…I think he cares. I know he cares! He must care!  Does he care folks? Tell me –ASKING THE CROWD. THE CROWD GOES ‘NO!’. I thought you might say that. Go ahead. I think he does care.
 
·       ATTENDANT CONTINUES WITH HER QUESTION.
·       MR. TRUMP INTERRUPTS:
 
Yeah. Right. That's okay.
 
·       ATTENDANT CONTINUES WITH HER QUESTION.
·       MR. TRUMP INTERRUPTS:
 
Well, I think we're very opposite people though. I do think we're opposite. I …I wanna make
 
 
·       ATTENDANT CONTINUES WITH HER QUESTION.
·       MR. TRUMP INTERRUPTS:
 
I know. Well…you know, it could be that that does…yeah it could be that doesn't happen. I mean…hey, look. I'm putting myself out there. It takes guts to run for president, and even these other guys…-CROWD APPLAUDS-…it does.
 
You know, I've always heard…that if you're very successful, you cannot run for political office, and especially you can't run for president. And I never really…got it! But now I get it. I mean, I get attacked every day so viciously…by the press, which is, you know, largely dishonest…I have to be honest here –CROWD APPLAUDS. No, I mean they're largely dishonest. And…and, in all fairness, no, no! I mean, I've…I've had some incredible and some…I've met some really talented political reporters. But, there's a lot of dishonesty going on, and purposely going on, and…you really wonder what's going... But it takes courage to run for president! And…I would say this: for the politicians that run…probably not so much. That's what they do: they run, they lose, they win, they run, they keep… -INAUDIBLE. But, for a person to come out of…the private sector, especially somebody that really has had…great achievement…John Mclaughlin. The Mclaughlin group…he's a good guy. He said the other day…he was arguing with one of the people on the panel. He said… ‘I don’t…I don’t understand you’. He said, this is a man of great accomplishment! Or achievement! ‘Why do you think he shouldn't run’? I saw it with some of the…people when I was on the debate, which by the way, the polls all said I won the debate. Can you believe it? You know, if you listen… -CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS-…and my questions were slightly harder than everybody else's! Do we agree? Okay? A little bit harder.
 
But…but, you know, I…I've seen…some of the things I've seen in the political circuit…it really does take a certain amount of courage! And, when I made that decision, that final decision…I'll tell you, it went right up to the wire. I just took a deep breath, they said, ‘here we go’, and I said ‘ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna make our country great. I'm running for president…’, and I just said, ‘Oh, I've done it!’. Because I want to make it…I want to do something so special. And you know, as well as I've done in business and all of that…it's so much…this is so much more important, what I’m doing now, it's just so much more.
 
I'm building buildings, and they're wonderful and great. I'm building one on…think of this one: I'm building one on Pennsylvania Avenue, right next to the White House, between the White House and Congress. The old post office. Okay? It's great! It's by the way, under budget and ahead of schedule! Is that nice? Wouldn’t that be…? Right? –CROWD APPLAUDS. It'll open far ahead of schedule, under budget, it would be one of the great hotels of the world…I love doing that: Doral in Miami, Turberry in Scotland... I mean, I do great stuff, the most I can…but that's all…this is…this is so important! That won't even matter if our country falls apart! And our country is falling apart! And I just wanted…to do this, and you mentioned –POINTING AT SOMEONE IN THE CROWD- … ‘wall’. I mean, I will build the greatest wall that you've ever seen! –CROWD APPLAUDS. And I would never do this myself. But I hope it's gonna be so…and it actually will even look great! I already know what it should look like.
 
You know, the other day…-CROWD LAUGHS-…the other day they were saying…I was watching these…characters politicians that are running against me. –MR. TRUMP IMPERSONATES THEM- ‘You can't get Mexico to pay for the wall’. Of course you can! They can't! …because they never would even think of…! Do you know how much Mexico is making from the United States!? That's peanuts, the wall! And then they say, -MR. TRUMP MOCKS THEM AGAIN THROUGH THE VOICE TONE-… ‘you can't build a wall! It's too big! It's too… it doesn't work! Well…3,000 years ago –CROWD CHEERS-…right? The Great Wall of China…was built! We'd like to have that wall. That wall nobody gets through. That I can tell you.  And that's 13,000 miles! Right!? And that was done…between…two-thousand…it took them five hundred years in all fairness, a little pretty long time –CROWD LAUGHS. They don't stop. They don't stop. That's why we need tough people to negotiate with the Chinese, because they don't stop –CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. But…the Great Wall of China…was built 13,000 miles!
 
Now, in Mexico…they were complaining it doesn't work. Now, they have these walls built, and they said, ‘well, people go over these walls with a ladder’. You know how tall the wall is…? Just like this –CROWD LAUGHS. And it's not a wall, it's a little fence! And people put up a ladder that they buy at Home Depot, and they go over the wall, jump, and that’s the end of it! –CROWD LAUGHS. And then they say… -UNFINISHED SENTENCE. I'm talking about a wall. See that ceiling up there? –POINTING AT ONE OF THE CEILINGS IN THE CONVENTION ROOM-…higher! Did you ever see…-CROWD CHEERS-…Okay.
 
Did you ever see precast plank, for parking garages? Okay? As…as an example, you know, not a big deal. I'm a great builder ¡, what I do best in life, in all fairness, I build. Which is good, cuz your infrastructure in this country is crumbling. Isn't it nice to have a builder? –CROWD CHEERS. A real builder! –CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
So…you take precast plank…it comes 30 feet long, 40 feet long, 50 feet long…you see the highways? where they could span…50, 60 feet…even longer than that. Right? And you do a beautiful, nice precast plank, with beautiful everything…just perfect! I want it to be so beautiful… cuz maybe someday they're gonna call it ‘the Trump wall’, maybe –CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. So I have to make sure it's beautiful! Right? I'll be very proud of that wall! If they call it the Trump wall it has to be beautiful!
 
And you put that plank up, and you dig your footings, and you put that plank up…there's no ladder going over that! If they ever get up there they're in trouble, cause there's no way to get down! –CROWD LAUGHS. Maybe a rope. But…and then somebody said, ‘Oh, well, they'll build tunnels. Well, you can't build a tunnel. Because with x-ray equipment you can see if they're building the tunnel. You can't build a tunnel! –CROWD LAUGHS. Yeah, you could try! But if you have people, you know…
 
Now we have to build the wall, we have to get the bad people out…the immigration policy…I've gotten great…I'll tell you what. I've gotten tremendous applause for what we submitted yesterday on immigration. Tremendous applause! –CROWD APPLAUDS. And support! And you know, a lot of the illegals…if you look at Chicago, with the gangs…? You see the gangs…and I have property in Chicago! Chicago is a great city in many ways, but it's, you know…getting really hurt! But you look at Chicago, you look at Baltimore…? You look at Ferguson…? You look at…a lot of these places! A lot of these gangs… and the most vicious are…illegals! They're out of here! First day…I will send in people…we… we…those guys are out of here! They're out of here!
You know, they talk about guns…I'm a big Second Amendment. I believe so strongly –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Big! But they talk about guns and you look at Chicago. Do you know that Chicago…has the toughest gun laws in the United States, by far? And people getting shot with guns, all over the place. Okay? You need enforcement…you need lots of things! But you also have to get the bad people out, the people that aren't supposed to be here, and they here illegally…and we gonna get them out. We're gonna get him out so fast, and so quick…and it's gonna be tough. It's not gonna be like, ‘oh, please, would you come with us?’, ‘please, would you come please’? ‘with us’? –MR. TRUMP FORCES A MOCKING TONE. CROWD LAUGHS.  Because you know these law enforcement people…and I know the guys in Chicago! The Police Commissioner is a great man! You…they can do it! If they're allowed to do it!
 
I know the guys! New York! I know them…they’re great! Bratton, great! Great commissioner…! They can all do it! They can all do it! But…they have to be allowed to do their job…they have to be allowed to do their job –CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
So…we're gonna make our country a really wonderful place. When when I was criticized the other day by Hillary… -CROWD BOOS-…and also the same day, with the same word, by Jeb. Same day, they said ‘my tone’. ‘My tone’, in other word, ‘tone’…is it nice? They didn't like my tone. They thought it was too strong! And I'm saying to myself, you know, we have crime all over the country; we have the borders…are…I mean, the southern borders…a disaster which, by the way, I turned out to be right. Remember the abuse I took? Rush Limbaugh said, ‘he has more incoming than any human being I've ever seen. And he didn't fold and sit down, apologized’. I won't…I don't know…I only apologize…-MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CROWD-…I do apologize when I'm wrong. But I had Rush said…used the word ‘incoming’. ‘Incoming’, you know what that means from these people right here. ‘Incoming’. And then it turned out that I was right! And people started to see the violence, and the crime and they saw Kate! In San Francisco… a magnificent person, whose family is a great family. And they saw Jameel, and they saw…so many people killed, violently and viciously! The other night the woman, 66 year old veteran…raped, sodomized, brutally killed! …by an illegal immigrant! We got to stop, we got to bring back our country, we got to take it back! We got to take it back! Okay. Yes ma'am, go ahead –MR. TRUMP LOOKS TO THIS RIGHT SIDE.
 
Okay, go ahead. Yes, sir. Young man
 
·       ATTENDANT MAKES A QUESTION.
 
Ohh! That might be the best question I get all night! Great question! So if being president is so hard, why do I want to be President?
 
Because I love this country, and I know that I can make it great again. I know it! For you! –CROWD APPLAUDS. You know? And…and really for you! These folks they've seen it…but it's for you! And people your age, because when they get to be our age…if we keep going the way we're going it's gonna be a very unattractive picture.
 
Yeah…yes, sir, go ahead.
 
·       ATTENDANT MAKES A QUESTION.
 
Well, I did a big policy position on immigration, and I think most people really like it…certainly…-CROWD APPLAUDS-…it seems that it's been…it's been very popular –CROWD CALLS OUT SOMEHTING INAUDIBLE. We're going to be doing a lot of policy positions and…you know, I say this and I mean it. When I want a deal…I don't sit down and say, ‘well let's see, I'm gonna get 14 points’. You know, the press…I actually think the press…are you remember the press? I actually think…-CROWD LAUGHS-…I actually think the press…wants policy...,you know, the so called policy positions, more than the people, if you wanna know the truth. Cuz when…when I sit down, and I…I really enjoyed, and I really feel we've hit something special, with the immigration policy position…is very formally done…done with a lot of people including senator Sessions, who's a terrific guy, terrific guy. Uh, and…and, but you know, when I do transactions, I've made a lot of great deals, I don't sit down and say, ‘well let's see, I'm going to mark down fourteen points. First thing I'm going to do is call somebody. Next thing I'm going to do is get on an airplane. They say…you know; this is…sort of work that way. You're going and you get it!
 
Doral, in Miami, everybody wanted it! I heard it: ‘might be available’. I got in a plane. I went down, I scooped it up before anyone knew what the hell was going on. Does that make sense? –CROWD CHEERS. We gotta…you know; we have to have flexibility. When you do 14 points, you know, the second point may change! And it may be much better than the second point you put down on the policy position! Maybe much better! And that will throw off the rest of the points. But they'll throw it off for the better!I'm doing the policy positions! And I'm doing tax papers. I want to put H&R Block…– AN AMERICAN TAX PREPARATION COMPANY-…out of business because it's too complicated. No, it's too complicated.
 
But, when it comes to policy…I'm gonna give you wonderful policy positions, but I just want to tell you. The great people…and this is including politicians, of which are very few, there are very few. But because they're only good at one thing and that's getting reelected. And that's really all they care about if you ask me. But…it's…it’s really true. Are there any politicians in the room? Because if there are, I'm not I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about everyone else. But…-CROWD LAUGHS. But, if you look at policy positions, we're going to be putting out some very good ones but you need flexibility. And, if you don't have flexibility, you're not gonna make the great ones! I mean flexibility in the proper way! The proper way!
 
As an example I could give you policy on dealing with China. China is killing us. China has taken so much of our wealth…! They've taken our jobs, they've taken our businesses, they've taken our manufacturing… -MEMBER IN THE AUDIENCE YELLS ‘THE LAND!’-… ‘the land?’, let me think about that one –CROWD LAUGHS. The way they're going, they'll have it pretty soon.
 
But China…has taken so much from us, and then think about it! We have rebuilt China. Somebody said to me, and I said, ‘well that's a harsh statement’: ‘it's the greatest theft in the history of the United States’. Now, I have great respect for China…! And their leaders. And I…hey look, the largest bank in the world is from China! They're a tenant at one of my buildings…I love China; I think it's great. But we don't have the people that know what they are doing! So…we have…lost. You can't just go say, ‘I want policy…’. You go in…they just devalued their currency the other day. Two decades! The biggest they've ever had! They're killing us! You know what that is? They call it ‘the sucking action’. Every time you see them…you know what ‘the sucking’ is? They're sucking the jobs, and the money right out of our country. That's what they're doing! –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
We've rebuilt China! You go in…not to mention the name George Washington Bridge, because I know that's a very ticklish name around here… –CROWD LAUGHS. But, you go, and you see the George Washington Bridge. They have many bridges that are bigger going up! They have bridges! They have roadways! They have airports! Other countries…same thing! And we're like a third one. Have you seen LaGuardia Airport recently? Looks like a third-world Airport! Kennedy Airport, like a third-world Airport. LAX, in Los Angeles. Newark Airport. All of them! We’re like third-world! They're taking our jobs, they're taking our money, and here's the beauty!: We owe China…one point four trillion dollars! So think of it: it’s like a magic act. They take our jobs, they take everything…and we owe them money! How does it happen? It's magic -CROWD LAUGHS. It's magic! On their side, not on our side. That's not gonna happen with Donald Trump. That's not gonna happen! –CROWD APPLAUDS. That's not gonna happen when I tell the Carl Icahns and others like Carl, ‘do me a favor, take a look’. Because it's not gonna happen! And here's the funny part: we will have a better relationship with China. And a better relationship with Japan. And a better relationship with Mexico! We don't have a good relationship with Mexico! Right? Do we have a good relation…? Remember Sergeant Tahmooressi? Right? He kept him in jail. We couldn't get him in. We had a president –THAT- didn't even want to make a phone call! He was in that jail…rotting in that Jail! And I helped him with Greta –GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, AN AMERICAN NEWS ANCHOR-…and some people…and I helped him financially, and finally…he got out! But he was in there so long! –CROWD CHEERS. She was terrific! By the way, without her, you probably wouldn't even…he'd still be there. But…but…they don't respect us! I would say, ‘let him out!’ Let him out, now!’. He will be out. He will be out –CROWD LAUGHS. It's the messenger! No, it's the messenger! You know, I'll give you another example. I mean, if you look, our four prisoners.
 
Now, I think a nuclear deal is very important, but we should have doubled and tripled up the sanctions, and made a real deal. Okay? Cause I think having a deal is great, but we have to have a real deal. The worst thing we can do is a bad deal, and that's what we have. Right? But we have four prisoners! Was three! Now it's four. They added the reporter. But we have one in there because he's a Christian. He's a minister. Because he's a Christian he's in jail! We don't have anybody even talking! So I say, ‘how do you make a deal without getting them out!?’. And that…before they even started, Kerry, who's a baby…I mean here's a guy –THAT- goes on a bicycle to go on a bicycle race…he's 73 years old…! He's in a bicycle race…! He falls, he breaks his leg during the negotiation…-CROWD CHEERS-…and I tell everybody, and you probably heard it. I swear to you; I will never be in a bicycle race as long as I’m president –CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
But…but you look at…you look at what's going on…and you look at a deal…where we have these four people there. So you do…at the beginning, it shouldn't be now! By the way, ‘now!’ is inconceivable after what they got…that we don't even get these four guys out! It's incredible! –MEMBER IN THE AUDIENCE BOOS.
 
But at the beginning, they should have said, ‘fellas, let the prisoners go. –IT IS- gonna help us all.  You don't need them…your people don't even know they're there…let them out! It's good for us, good for you, good for the deal…sets a good tone. Let them!’. Ninety-five percent sure I'll get them! If I don't, I walk. Because you know what? If they wouldn't do that…you're not gonna make a good deal.
 
Now Kerry, and President Obama…when they asked him about the prisoners…one of our reporters out there…who’s a CBS reporter there that did such a good job. He… -INAUDIBLE- very brutal but did a very good job he asked a simple question what about the prisoners and what President Obama said, and what Kerry said…and Kerry said it…like it was inconceivable: ‘I didn't wanna bring it up because I didn't wanna complicate the negotiations’. Do you believe this? That was his answer! –CROWD BOOS. He didn't wanna complicate the…where do these people come from!?
 
You know, it's interesting. We're fighting against them in Yemen; I guess, in theory, we’re fighting against them in Syria; we're fighting all over the place! They don't want to talk about those things as part of the deal, because they don't wanna complicate a deal. And then you…you get a deal signed…they're dancing in the streets of Iran; they're calling for the destruction of Israel, and the destruction of the United States…and we're saying… ‘when do we sign?’. I never saw anything like it! I've never seen anything…you know I did write The Art Of The Deal. Did anybody ever hear of The Art Of The Deal? –MR. TRUMP RECOGNIZES A MEMBER IN THE AUDIENCE THAT HAS IT ON THEM- ‘Good. Bring it up. Come on, give me that book. Nice guy. Should I sign it? Give me that book. Come on give, me that book’. See? – MR. TRUMP SHOWS THE BOOK. CROWD APPLAUDS. Great! –CROWD APPLAUDS AND CHEERS.
 
President Obama, secretary Kerry, I highly think you should read this book quickly. Quickly! Quickly! –BURST OF APPLAUDSE. Okay ma’am. Catch it? –MR. TRUMP THROWS BACK THE BOOK. THE CROWD CHEERS. Thank you. Ahh later! –MR. TRUMP TO SOMETHING INAUDIBLE AND NOT VISIBLE- I will do it later.
 
So…there's so much that can be done! There's so much potential! And the potential is the people. We have great people. We have amazing people. They just…just wanna do it so badly. They wanna do it…so, but, every time I go out we have massive overflow crowds. Now, what's the press? So Bush had, I heard, a hundred and forty –OR- a hundred and fifty people. We have two thousand five hundred and seventy-nine people. Many of them standing outside. They might have left now. I mean, you know, who the hell wants to listen to a loudspeaker? Right? But we have…way over…you know, that's the exact count. They'll probably say – THE PRESS- ‘the crowds were about equal’. But that's the way they are, very dishonest.
 
But we've had an amazing, amazing time in New Hampshire, and it's just a special place. Go ahead –MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEBODY IN THE CROWD-…let's do two more…two more questions! Make them good! If they're terrible questions, we'll do a third. Go ahead!
 
·       ATTENDANT MAKES A QUESTION.
·       MR. TRUMP INTERRUPTS:
 
Right. And they failed you. They did…they did fail.
 
·       ATTENDANT CONTINUES WITH HIS QUESTION.
·       MR. TRUMP ANSWERS.
 
Well, it's…it's really…it's really a…you know, I mean some people say terminus –INAUDIBLE, but it really is something that was very sad to watch, because a lot of those people…that failed to stand up…were people that got elected because they were going to stand up. You're talking about certain Republican Senators and Congressmen…and…they failed to stand up! It's almost like…they get to Washington, and it's they're so impressed with everything they don't want to do anything to shake things up. But, I will tell you. The Republicans, in my opinion, had a great chance, a great chance…to end Obamacare! A great chance! And they didn't do it, they didn't have the guts to stand up. And Ted Cruz, and a few of the others did, by the way. But they didn't have the guts to stand up. And…and I thought it was a disgrace. I thought it was absolutely a disgrace.
 
And…and what I think was so bad about…you know, as I say, the last thing we need is another Bush. That justice, -JOHN- Roberts, could have easily…and should have killed Obamacare the first time. And could have wounded it very badly the second time –CROWD APPLAUDS.  And…he was a friend of Jeb. And Jeb is the one…people don't know this! Jeb is the one that pushed him into that position. His brother is president, and they worked together! And just as Roberts…because he wanted to be loved in the Beltway. Because there was no way he could have made that decision! We're all smart people! We all like have good you know what. There was no way he could have made that decision! And justice –JOHN- Roberts had two chances to kill Obamacare. But in particular the first time! It would have been killed! The second time, it would have eventually…withered away.
 
Well, we're gonna get in there! And we're gonna get you…really great coverage, at much better pricing! –CROWD APPLAUDS. So much can be done, but you gotta remember that. That was a –GEORGE, FORMER PRESIDENT- Bush appointment, and how that happened was shocking to the world. Shocking to the world! And it was a wrong decision, by the way.
 
Ah, yes ma'am, go ahead.

Hi
 
·       ATTENDANT CONTINUES WITH HIS QUESTION.
·       MR. TRUMP ANSWERS
 
 
Well you've got the right man! Believe me. I said before to the press, and I said before to a group of our great supporters. We have a group of 25 people that have been with me, like from the beginning in New Hampshire; and I met with them backstage…backstage. And I will tell you. And I told them.
 
We are gonna make our military so strong, and so powerful, and so incredible…we're gonna take care of our vets, by the way, as part of it. Big league –CROWD APPLAUDS.  But we're gonna make it so strong, and so good, that we won't have to use it. Nobody's gonna mess with us folks.  Nobody. –CROWD CHEERS. Nobody! We're never gonna have to use it.  And right now we don't have that, unfortunately.
 
All right, how about one or two more? Go ahead! –LOOKING AT SOMEONE IN PARTICULAR OFF CAMERA. Go ahead! Go ahead! Yes Sir, veteran. You do look like a veteran. You are a veteran, I hope. Okay. Good.
 
·       ATTENDANT CONTINUES WITH QUESTION.

‘What are we gonna do about Hillary’? She's got big problems! I don't know. What…what is Hillary gonna do about Hillary? –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
·       ATTENDANT CONTINUES WITH QUESTION.
·       MR. TRUMP INTERRUPTS:
 
Now I know he’s a veteran! –CROWD APPLAUDS. Nah, she’s got…she’s got some…she’s got some big problems.
 
Okay. One more, go ahead.

Where are you Steve? Okay.

·       MR. TRUMP INTERRUPTS:
 
I think that’s right.
 
·       ATTENDANT CONTINUES WITH QUESTION.
·       MR. TRUMP RESPONDS:
Will I agree with it. And, you know, I don't know if you know. I'm Protestant, I'm Presbyterian, and…I feel very strongly about what you said. And when you say 300 years, yes. But most of this horror show has taken place over the last 20 years. Wouldn't you say? –CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
I mean, it's just don't mention the word ‘Christmas’, and you can't do this, and you can't do that. It's out of control. And uhm…that will change with me. Believe me. I will…-CROWD APPLAUDS-…I will be fighting…I will be fighting, and I will be winning! cause I win. I win. I'm somebody that wins. And that will change. And you know another thing that's going to change? We are in very sad shape as a country. And we're more concerned about being politically correct than we are about victory, that we are about winning! And I think…that's all fine…but we're not gonna be so politically correct anymore. We are going to get things done. We are going to make this country special! And you know, I say sometimes, that the American Dream is dead, but we're going to make it bigger, and better, and stronger than ever before, and we're going to do that.
 
And the bottom line is…we are going to make America great again, and I really love you people, and I really appreciate your support. And I wanna thank you.
 
 
Thank you very much.
 
Thank you.
 
We will make America great again.
