This is a big crowd of people. Boy, oh boy. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. So you know, this is really going to be a speech on energy, but I have to start off, because we love our farmers, and we love…right? Do we love our farmers? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And we love agriculture! So, for the farmers out here, you do an awfully good job, and I've heard that for many years in North Dakota. So, hello!
Now you can…fall asleep while we talk about energy, okay? …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. You know, the farmers are great. The miners are great. The miners have been so badly treated and we're gonna treat them…really well. You're gonna see. You're gonna see…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So before we start, I…I really wanna thank Harold Hamm. He's been a friend of mine for a long time. He's an amazing man in the world of business. Yeah, sit down. Uh…he's been an amazing…success story, an amazing guy, and I've learned a lot about energy from Harold. So Harold…and I've never seen you so happy! When he got up here, he became like…I'm glad I didn't have to run against you, Harold…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And the congressman, right from the beginning, he was with us. One of the few. He was with us.
And the governor is in the audience. Where is the governor? Governor, thank you very much! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And your lovely wife! Thank you, Governor. Thank you very much. And your entire staff. I appreciate you being here.
I also want to thank the delegates, because…I was…coming out…of…my building this morning, and there was a big newsflash that Donald Trump had won the nomination! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…I said, “what happened!?”. I thought I had to wait a couple of more weeks! And they said, “no. The delegates from…your state, right here, you! North Dakota, where are you!? Where are you!? Where are my delegates!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. That is…stand up, please!
So, I guess, you would call them unbound, but now they're bound! So, North Dakota brought us…you brought us over the line, folks! And I…will always remember that. I will always remember that.
And to my unbounds, who are now bound, I think you're bound. You promise you’re bound, everybody? Yes they promise! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS.
So, thank you very much. This is a great honor, and this was a little bit sooner. We were supposed to be watching Hillary Clinton…and…guess what!? We're watching Hillary Clinton! That's the way it worked! …–THE CROWD BOOS. Crooked Hillary! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But…Crooked Hillary. And that report yesterday? That was a report! All right!
Let's talk about energy, okay?
I'm delighted to be in North Dakota, a state where…really, you're at the forefront of…a new energy revolution. Oil and natural gas production is up significantly in the last decade. Our oil imports have literally, frankly, been cut in half! That's something that nobody thought was going to be happening, really, for a very, very long time. But all of this occurred in spite of a massive new bureaucratic, and political barriers. President Obama has done…everything he can to get in the way of American energy, for whatever reason! He's made life much more difficult…for North Dakota, as costly regulation, and I mean serious regulation, makes it harder and harder to turn a profit.
If Crooked Hillary Clinton…is in charge, things will get much worse, believe me! You've seen it. All you have to do is follow her career. She will shut down energy production across this country. And by the way, she'll also, unrelated, abolish the Second Amendment, and we're not gonna let…that…happen! That I can tell you. That I can tell you…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And I appreciate…last week, I got the endorsement of the NRA, and these are great people, and I appreciate that endorsement very much…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Millions of jobs, and trillions of dollars of wealth will be destroyed as a result.
 
That's why…this choice, and this is a very choice…important choice. November [is] going to be so, so crucial! And here's what it comes down to: wealth…serious wealth! For people, for workers, for everybody…versus poverty.
North Dakota shows how energy exploration creates shared prosperity: better schools, more funding for infrastructure, which we really need throughout our country; higher wages, lower unemployment…; things we've been missing for a long time. It's a choice between sharing in this great energy wealth, or sharing in the poverty promised by Hillary Clinton…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You don't have to take my word for it. Just listen to Hillary in her own words. She's declared war on the American worker. Here's what Hillary Clinton said earlier this year: ‘we are going to put a lot of coal miners, and coal companies, out of work!’ …–THE CROWD BOOS. By the way, her timing wasn't so good. The following week, she went to West Virginia. She didn't do too well there. But I love the people of West Virginia. We did, and I love the people of Pennsylvania! They don't like her too much, I can tell you.
And if Hillary…can shut down the mines, she can really shut down our whole country, and your business will be…uh…permanently…in many cases, permanently ruined. So, let me tell you how President Obama undermined our crisis, and our middle class. The President stated that it was his intent to eliminate oil and natural gas…production in America, if you can believe this. His policy is death by a thousand cuts, through an onslaught of regulations.
For instance, the Environmental Protection Agency's use of totalitarian taxes…uh…forces energy operators, in North Dakota, into paying unprinted…unprecedented multi-billion dollar fines before a penalty is even confirmed! Which is…actually, rather hard to believe.
Government misconduct goes on and on. The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against seven North Dakota oil companies, for the death of 28 birds, while the administration fast tracked wind projects that kill more than a million birds a year! Far more than a million birds…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I have to tell you, far more. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service abuses Endangered Species Act to restrict oil and gas exploration!
Adding to the pain, President Obama now proposes a 10 dollar per barrel…tax, on American produced oil, in the middle of a downturn! And you've had a downturn. But, we did hit 50 dollars today. I will take credit for that. Harold, I want 10 percent! I want 10 percent, Harold…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. At least 10 percent!
At the same time…–A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS ‘I LOVE YOU, DONALD!’–…I love you too, thank you.
At the same time, President Obama lifts economic sanctions…on Iran, he imposes economic sanctions on America! He's allowed this country to hit the lowest…oil…recount…since…1999, producing thousands of layoffs, thousands! America's incredible energy potential remains untapped. It's totally self-inflicted. It's a wound! And it's a wound that we have to heal. Under my presidency, we'll accomplish a complete American…energy…independence. Complete! Complete! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And lots of jobs, lots of jobs. Imagine a world in which our foes, and the oil cartels, can no longer use energy…as a weapon…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Wouldn't that be nice? It’d be very nice. It's gonna happen…if we win. But we're gonna win…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We are gonna win.
But President Obama has done everything he can…to keep us…dependent, and this is so important, on others! He wants us to be dependent on others. It's different thinking! It's from a whole different school. Let me list some of the good energy projects that he's killed!
He rejected the Keystone Excel Pipeline despite the fact that it would have created 42,000 jobs. His own State Department concluded that it would be the safest pipeline ever built in the United States, and it would have no significant impact…on the environment. Yet, even as he rejected this…and this is really something, because we have that great relationship with Canada…; so he rejected the America Canada pipeline. He made a deal that allows Iran…boy, does he make bad deals with Iran! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS–…to transport more oil, through his pipeline, than would have ever flowed through Keystone, with no…environmental…review…whatsoever. What are we doing!?
President Obama has done everything he can to kill the coal industry. That, we all know. You just ask the people of Pennsylvania, ask the people of…West Virginia! Look at what's happened there, it's horrible!
Here are a few of President Obama's decrees, regulations that shut down hundreds of coal-fired power plants, and blocked the construction of new ones. How…stupid…is that!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
A prohibition against coal production on federal land. Draconian climate rules that unless stopped would effectively bypass Congress to impose job killing cap-and-trade, a disaster. President Obama has aggressively blocked oil production of oil and natural…and, you know, you just take a look. Every single…move he's made, is to block the production of oil and natural…gas. He's taken huge percentages of the Alaska petroleum. And you take the reserve. He's taken it off the table. He's taken it completely off the table!
Oil and natural gas production, on federal lands, is down 10 percent, which is pretty hard to believe! 87 percent of available land in the outer continental shelf has been put off limits, totally.
Atlantic lease sales were closed down too, despite the fact that they would create, listen to this, 280,000 jobs and 23.5 billion dollars in economic activity. President Obama entered the United States into the Paris climate accords, unilaterally, and without the permission of Congress! This agreement gives foreign bureaucrats control over how much our energy and how much we use right here in America.
So, foreign bureaucrats are gonna be controlling what we're using and what we are doing on our land, in our country. No way…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No way! These actions have denied millions of Americans access to the energy wealth sitting right under our feet! Wealth we didn't even know we had five years ago, and ten years ago.
This is your treasure! And you, the American people, are entitled to share in the riches. President Obama's anti-energy, and this is really anti-energy orders…have also weakened our security by keeping us reliant on foreign sources of energy! [It’s] Not gonna be for long, folks. [It’s] Not gonna be for long if I get it…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Every dollar of energy we don't explore here, is a dollar of energy that makes someone else rich, and really rich, in some cases! I wonder if they are campaign contributors, what do you think? You’d think? They probably gave to the Clinton Foundation…–THE CROWD LAUGHS. I guess, right? [It] Just seems. [It] Just seems like…that's what happened. If president…–A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS ‘I LOVE YOU, DONALD!’–…thank you, darling, I love you too…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
If President Obama wanted to weaken America, he couldn't have done a better job!
As bad as President Obama is, Hillary Clinton will be worse! She'll escalate the war against the American…worker like never before, and against American energy; and she'll unleash…the EPA to control every aspect of our lives, and every aspect of energy! They'll make it impossible for the worker, for the owners…; they'll make it impossible for everyone.
She declared that we've gotta move away from coal, and all of the other fossil fuels, that's a quote! “We've gotta move away from coal”, quote! And all of the other fossil fuels! Locking away…trillions in American wealth.
In March, Hillary Clinton said, “by the time we get through, all of my conditions, I guarantee, I do not think…there will be many places in America, where fracking will continue to take place!”.
What are we doing!? Why are we even thinking…!? …–THE CROWD BOOS. What are we doing!? Let's just…vote around! I don't know if she's gonna get to run anyway, what I'm saying, you know…!? I sort of like to run against her, but…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Can you imagine that!? She wants to close down…a primary source. Keep in mind, shale energy production could add 2 million jobs in seven years. Yet, while Hillary Clinton doesn't want American energy, she is strongly in favor of foreign energy. Here's what she told China as Secretary of State: “American experts and Chinese experts will work to develop China's natural gas resources”, working with China! What about working with us!? Everyone is working with China, they don't work with us! We're gonna work with us, and we'll worry about China later, folks, okay!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
It's unbelievable. Imagine what it would mean, for China, if China unleashed its own natural gas resources. So, you're not dependent on foreign oil! Hillary Clinton has her priorities totally wrong. But we are going to turn…everything around. We are going to make it right! Believe me, we're going to make it right! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And quickly, very quickly. A Trump administration will develop an American first energy plant. America first, folks, America first! Make America great again! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. America First. Make America great again!
First, energy plan, and I tell you, here is how we're gonna do it, and here is how this plan…will…make…America wealthy again. American energy dominance will be declared a strategic economic and foreign policy goal of the United States. It's about time…–THE CROWD APPLAUDS. America has 1.5 times as much oil as the combined proven resource…listen to this, as the combined proven resources of all OPEC countries. Think of that! We have more natural gas than Russia, Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia…combined! We have three times more coal than Russia!
Our total untapped oil and gas reserves on federal lands equal an estimated 50 trillion dollars! Think of that! …–THE CROWD APPLAUDS. We're loaded, we didn't even know it! We're loaded! We had no idea how rich we were! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're richer than all of them! We're richer than all of them, folks! And we wanna cherish that wealth, by the way; and preserve that wealth, and take care of that wealth.
 We will become and stay totally independent of any need to import energy…from the OPEC cartel, or any nations hostile to our interests. Anybody hostile to our interests…believe me, we don't deal with them. We'll handle them just fine. Just fine…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And by the way, there are plenty of them out there that are hostile to our interests.
At the same time, we'll work with our Gulf allies to develop a positive energy relationship as part of our anti-terrorism strategy. We'll work with them, because we have to knock out…terrorism. And by the way, we have to knock the hell…out of ISIS. We're gonna knock the hell…out of ISIS…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
We'll use the re…uhg…boy, that does…that…I tell you what, people feel so strongly about that, [and] when you see what's happening to our country…; when you have…General Patton, and general…all of our great generals, and they're just right now spinning, cause they can't believe what's going on. They can't believe [it]. That's gonna turn around so fast folks, [that] your heads will spin…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We will use the…revenues from energy production to rebuild our roads! It's about time. Our schools, bridges…and public infrastructure. Our infrastructure is crumbling. Our infrastructure is a disaster. We have to rebuild our country! We have to rebuild our country, and we have to rebuild it properly, and fast! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We've spent…almost 5…trillion dollars in the Middle East and we've gotten nothing for it! We're in worse shape than we were 15 years ago. We've gotta rebuild our country.
Cheaper energy will also boost American agriculture. We'll get the bureaucracy out of the way of innovation so that we can pursue all forms of energy. This includes renewable energies and the technologies of the future! It does include nuclear, and wind, and solar. But not to the exclusion of other forms of energy and other forms of energy that right now are working much better! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
The government should not pick winners and losers. Instead…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…instead…it should remove obstacles to exploration. Any market has its ups and downs, but lifting these draconian barriers will ensure…that we…are no longer at the mercy of global…markets! We never wanna be there again! A Trump administration will focus on real environmental challenges, not the phony ones that we've been looking at. We'll reject Clinton's poverty expansion agenda that enriches our friends! I mean, [it] totally enriches our friends! Just take a look at who her friends are! …and makes everyone else very, very poor. We'll solve real environmental problems in our communities, like the need for clean and safe drinking water. And you look at some of our communities, and they don't have…clean and safe…drinking water at all!
President Obama actually tried to cut the funding for our drinking water infrastructure, even as he pushed to increase funding for his EPA bureaucrats. American workers will be the ones building this new infrastructure, not…people…from….other…countries. They're not gonna be building…our…infrastructure. Not even a little bit! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Here is my 100-day action plan: we're going to rescind all the job-destroying Obama executive actions…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…including the Climate Action Plan and the waters of the United States rule, okay? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Remember that.
We're going to save the coal industry! We're gonna save that coal industry, believe me! We're gonna save it! I love those people! These are great people! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And they love that. They love that job! In West Virginia, I have to say. I said to some of the miners, because they voted so overwhelmingly, and they endorsed me by so much. I said, “would you ever think of leaving and going someplace else, and doing something else?”.
They said, “Mr. Trump, we love coal. This is what we do. This is what we wanna do”. They love it! And we're gonna bring it back, and we're gonna help those people, cause that's what they wanna do, and it's unfair what's happened to them, remember that. Very unfair…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, we're gonna save the coal industry, and other industries, threatened by Clinton's extremist agenda, and it is indeed an extremist agenda, perhaps even worse than Obama.
I'm going to ask Trans Canada to renew its permit application for the Keystone pipeline…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And by the way, I might also be asking for a big piece of the profits from that so that the American people can get some more money out of it. Does that make sense!? Why not? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Why not!? We're making it possible! Let's take a piece of the action for you, folks! You know, lower your taxes a little bit more. It wouldn't be so bad…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Without us, they can't do it so, it sounds like it makes a lot of sense to me.
We're going to lift moratoriums on energy production in federal areas. We're going to revoke policies that impose unwarranted restrictions on new drilling technologies.
These technologies create millions of jobs! With a smaller footprint than ever before! We're going to cancel the Paris…climate…agreement, and stop…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…unbelievable! And stop all payments of the United States tax dollars to U.N. global warming programs! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We've got big problems, folks. We can't be sending our money all over the world. It's not 40 years ago. It's not 20 years ago. We've got a lot of problems. We're gonna cherish our dollar. We're gonna take care of our dollar, and we're gonna keep our money, and we're gonna keep our jobs here. And we're gonna bring jobs back, okay? Remember that…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Any regulation that's outdated, unnecessary, bad for workers or contrary to the national interest will be scrapped and scrapped completely! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We will also eliminate duplication, provide regulatory certainty, which is very important, and trust…local…officials and local residents, like yourselves! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Any future regulation will go through a simple test. Is this regulation good…for the American worker!? If it doesn't pass this test, this rule will not be, under any circumstances, approved…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Policy decisions will be public and very, very transparent. They won't be made on Hillary's private e-mail account, which is turning out to be a total disaster…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. By the way, a disaster for our country, beyond Hillary; a disaster for our country that she did such a thing.
We're going to do all of this while taking proper regard for rational…environmental…concerns. We're going to conserve our beautiful natural habitats. [We’re going to] Reserve…and so important, we're gonna take care of those habitats; we're gonna take care of our reserves; and we're gonna take such great care of our resources! Our resource is so vital! We're gonna take care of those resources!
In a Trump administration, political activists with extreme agendas will no longer write the rules because that's what's happening now…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Instead, we will work with conservationists, whose only agenda is protecting nature. That's fine. From an environmental standpoint, my priorities are very simple: clean air and clean water! Right!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
My ‘America first’ energy plan will do for American people what Hillary Clinton will never do. She will never be able to do this, and I'm not just talking about this industry. She will never create real jobs and real wage growth. She can't do it. She doesn't know how to do it. Her husband signed NAFTA, one of the worst…jobs, one of the worst things ever signed in the history of our country for economic development. They don't know how to do it. And I think, actually, they don't even wanna do it. According to the Institute for Energy Research, lifting the restrictions on American energy will create a flood of new jobs! Almost a…700…billion…dollar…increase! Think of that! A 700…billion…dollar increase, in economic output over the next 30 years! More than a 30 billion dollar increase in annual wages, over the next seven years!
Some of the people that are my biggest supporters, they haven't had a real wage increase in…18…years, okay? 18 years. Think of it! And they work two jobs. They're working harder. They're getting older, they're working harder. It's supposed to be the other way around. It's not gonna be that way anymore, folks.
Over the next four decades, more than 20 trillion dollars in additional economic activity, and 6 trillion dollars in new tax revenue [is] going to be generated!
The oil and natural gas industry supports 10…million…high-paying American jobs, and create another 400,000 new jobs per year! This exploration will also create a resurgence in American manufacturing…manufacturing! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's so good to hear them, cause I've been going around! Folks, I've been going around. And…we won New York, and we won all these states! No matter where you go, manufacturing down 50 percent, down 55 percent.
I go down, I see Syracuse, New York. I see Rome, New York. That's the real Rome, by the way, Rome, New York. I see all of these different places! You're at the Bethpage! You go out to…; then you go to Pennsylvania, you go to…all of these different places, and you see what was once vibrant, beautiful…working places, factories…they're…all falling apart. We lost 45, 55, 60 percent of…our manufacturing jobs all over the place. It's one of the reasons I won by such large margins, because we're not gonna take it anymore. We're not gonna take it anymore. They're moving. They're leaving…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They're taking our jobs. They're taking our companies. We're not gonna let that happen anymore.
We're dramatically reducing both our trade deficit and our budget deficit. Compare this future to Hillary Clinton's Venezuela-style politics of poverty. And that's what it is! That's what it's gonna end up being! That's where we're going. That's the direction we're heading.
If you think about it, not one idea of Clinton…has…and…and actually, can…create…a single net job…or create a single new dollar…to put…in workers'…pockets. In fact, every idea Hillary has will make jobs disappear! She doesn't have a clue! Remember, it was NAFTA, which was signed by her husband, that destroyed this, big parts of this country! So Hillary Clinton's agenda is job destruction. My agenda is job creation. We're gonna create so many jobs…! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And if companies wanna leave our country, and fire all their workers, and go to another country, there will be…a problem, for those…companies! There will be consequences! There will be consequences! And when they hear about the consequences, you know, what they're gonna do? They're gonna say, Mr. President, we have decided not to move, okay? That's what's gonna happen! It's as simple as that…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Clinton wants to tax and regulate our workers to the point of extinction. [It’s] True! She wants terrible trade deals and she wants to continue…terrible trade deals, like NAFTA, signed by her husband, that will empty our manufacturing businesses even more so than they already are.
During her time as Secretary of State, which was a disaster, she surrendered to China, allowing them to steal hundreds of billions of dollars in our intellectual…property. Everybody knows this! We do nothing about it! She let them devalue their currency and add more than a trillion dollars…to our trade deficit.
Then there was Libya! Secretary Clinton's reckless Libya invasion…handed the country over to ISIS, which now controls the oil in Libya! Very, very…pure, sweet, beautiful oil, among the best in the world! ISIS has the oil from Libya! How do you like that, folks? Not so smart, right!?
The Middle East that Clinton inherited was far less dangerous than the Middle East she left with us today. Her reckless decisions in Iraq, Libya, Iran, Egypt and Syria have made the Middle East more unstable than ever, ever, ever before! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
The Hillary Clinton foreign policy legally…legacy is…absolute…total chaos. Clinton also wants totally open borders in America, which would further plunge our workers into poverty. Hillary's open borders’ agenda means [that] a young single mom living in poverty would have to compete for a job or a raise against millions of low-wage workers rushing into our country. And we will have absolutely no idea who they are…; where they come from…; are they dangerous…?; …are they good, are they bad….!? We know nothing about these people!
My agenda will be accomplished through a series of reforms that put always America first. Energy reform…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS­–…thank you. Thank you. Energy reform that creates trillions of new dollars in wealth!
Immigration reform that produces and protects our borders. We are going to have such strong borders! And by the way, we want people to come into our country but they're going to come into our country legally, legally, legally! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And we are going to defend our workers! We are going to defend our workers. Tax reform that brings millions of new jobs to America.
Regulation reform that eliminates stupid rules that send our jobs overseas…really…created…by people…that don't…even…have a clue! And if they do have a clue, then they're doing some very, very bad things…to our country. Welfare reform that requires employees to recruit, from the unemployment office, not the immigration office! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We wanna create jobs, for our people!
Very importantly, trade reform that brings back our manufacturing jobs, and stands up to countries that cheat, and I mean cheat, cheat…like dogs! They cheat! They're cheating us so badly! And it's a disgrace! And we have people that don't know what's going on in Washington! We have people that truly do not know what's going on!
There's one more thing we must do to make America wealthy again. You have to be wealthy in order to be great, I'm sorry to say it! …–THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS ‘BUILD THE WALL!’–…‘build the wall’. We'll build the wall…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. We'll build the wall, believe me. We're gonna build the wall. I was going to leave that one out for the energy speech, but you know what? It never fails! We will build the wall.
Who is gonna pay for the wall!? …–THE CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’. Mexico. 100 percent, by the way. 100 percent…–THE CROWD LAUGH. Okay, I was just testing you. I wanted to see whether or not you were on your toes. Okay.
We have to make…our communities safe again. Violent crime is rising in our major cities across the country. This is…totally…unacceptable. Every parent has the right to raise their kids in safety…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. When we put political correctness before justice, we hurt those who have the least. I mean, that's what's happening! We're really hurting the people that have the least. It undermines their schools, slashes the value of their homes, and drives away their jobs! Crime is a stealth tax! It's a stealth tax on the poor! It's a horrible thing! And it's going up, up, up. Look at the papers today. Look at the statistics. Look at what's happening with homicides in our country. It's going only in one direction.
To those living in fear, I say, ‘help is coming. It's coming soon’…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. A Trump Administration will return law and order to America…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Security is not something that should only in…and…and this is so important, that should only be enjoyed…by the very rich and the very powerful! It has to be enjoyed by all!
By way of contrast, I was endorsed, and I told you this by National Rifle! And I see what's happening, and I understand what's happening, and I know it so well! These are people that want good things to happen!
So Hillary, get rid of the guns. Trump, we're gonna…endorse and we're gonna…preserve, and we are gonna cherish, cherish, cherish our Second Amendment. Okay…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
My reform agenda…is going to bring wealth, and security to the poorest communities in this country. We have to do that. We have to do that. Do you know, African-American youth has a 59 percent rate of unemployment? We have to do it! What does Hillary have to offer the poor, but more of the same?
In Chicago, for instance, 1/4 of young Hispanics and 1/3 of young African-Americans are, literally, hopelessly, unemployed. Hopelessly unemployed. My message today is to all the people trapped in poverty, and it's this: politicians, like Hillary Clinton, have failed you, and they failed you badly! It's all talk, it's no action! They have failed! They've used you! They've stolen your votes for decades, and they've given you nothing! I will give you everything! I will give you what you've been looking…for 30, 40, 50 years. They have given you…nothing, and you need…something…new.
I'm the only one who is going to deliver it. I know the politicians. I know what's happening. I know these people! I am the only one…who will deliver…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We are going to put America back to work! We're going to put people before government, [it’s] very important! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We're going to rebuild our inner cities! We're going to make you and your family safe, secure, and prosperous! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. The choice in November is a choice between a Clinton agenda that puts donors first, or an agenda that puts America first, my agenda. America first always.
It's a choice between a Clinton government of, by, and for the powerful, and a return to government…of, by, and for the people! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
It is a choice between certain decline, absolutely certain decline, or a revival…of America's great promise.
The people in charge of our government say “things can't change”.[MGF1]  They just feel that! “Things can't change”. I've seen it for so many months now. I've been doing this for 10 months…am I doing a good job, by the way, for you!? I mean, you know…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I’m very proud of this!
I spent about 55 dollars million of my own money, but look at this! I spent less than anybody else. And I have the best…you know, I won, right!? It's one of those things! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So, I spent less….I beat him by a lot! Isn't that what you want for your president for at least a little while!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Thank you.
They want you to keep trusting the same people…who betrayed you many times before! I'm here to tell you, that if you keep supporting those who've let you down, then you will keep getting let down for the rest of your lives.
I'm prepared to kick the special interests out of Washington D.C. …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and to hand their seat of power over to you! I will do that too[MGF2] . I actually look forward to doing that…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And it's about time! Together, we will put the American people first again. It's been a long time. We will make our communities wealthy again! We will make our cities safe again! We will make our country strong again!
Ladies and gentlemen, we will make…America…great…again. Thank you!
