Wow! Wow!
 
Amazing! Amazing! Thank you! Wow!
 
So exciting…! You notice what’s missing tonight!? Teleprompters! –CROWD CHEERS. No teleprompters! We don’t want teleprompters!
 
That would be so much easier. We read a speech for 45 minutes…everybody falls asleep –CROWD LAUGHS-…listening to the same old stuff…the same old lies…so much easier.
 
So you know, I have a little debate coming up…-CROWD CHEERS-…on Wednesday. And…I hear my…I know…I…let's call him opponents. Can we call ‘em opponents? We’re allowed to do that, right?
 
You know, New York was very nice to you, people, last night. You know that, right? Did they hand you that game? They handed! –CROWD CHEERS AND BOOS. I said, ‘I am going to have the friendliest audience…’, sit down –MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES THE AUDIENCE. CROWD LAUGHS AND SITS-… ‘…I am going to have the friendliest audience after why…’ . So I wasn't sure, was I happy, or was I sad? But Jerry Jones is a great guy, and he deserves everything he gets, frankly.
 
And you know, another great guy is Mark Cuban –CROWD CHEERS. True! And I think…you know, he's been talking a little bit about…ehm…maybe someday doing this himself. And I think he'd do very well. We may not have the exact same feelings about where we're going…but that's okay. But Mark was great. He actually called me…like literally a few days ago. And said, ‘you know, if you wanna use the arena’, which is, by the way, a beautiful arena…! …there's a greater way…and Dirk, I love him, he's a tremendous…one…of my favorite players…one of my favorite –CROWD CHEERS. And the Mavericks have been fantastic. And, you know, it’s just a great team. But he said, ‘if you wanna use the arena…’. I said, ‘Mark, when?.’. ‘how about Monday night?’. It's like…that was like…in four days. And you had a big holiday in…between. And he said, ‘I think, you know, they really like you in Dallas. They really like you in Texas. Maybe you can get a lot of people…’ -CROWD CHEERS. Cause we were coming here, and we thought maybe we'd get a thousand, but we never get a thousand anymore. It's always like the same thing.
 
You know, we went to Alabama…we started off with a 500-person ballroom. And after about two minutes…look at all these guys, paparazzi…-MR. TRUMP POINTS TO HIS RIGHT SIDE- ‘…Ay! Ay! Ay! Look at this! We got everybody here!’.

We started off, by the way with a 500-person ballroom, and after about two minutes…the hotel called up begging for mercy, ‘we can't do it!’. They were inundated. So we went to the convention center, and that was 10,000, and that was wiped out in about an hour…so we went to a stadium, we had 31,000 people, which is by far, the largest…they say like ever for an early primary. It's probably true! –CROWD CHEERS.
 
And this is so The Capital One. I see these seats, full up…it up. Can you people see me up there? –MR. TRUMP LOOKS AND POINTS WAY ABOVE HIS POSITION. I don't know…
I said to ‘em, ‘don't fill up the upper ring, it’s…not fair’, but their filled…you are great –ADDRESSING THE AUDIENCE IN THE UPPER STAN-…thank you all, I appreciate it –CROWD CHEERS.
 
So I wanna thank Mark. And I wanna thank…where is pastor Jefferson…? He's around here someplace. What a good guy! Where is he? Well…come here! I love this guy! Come here! –MR. TRUMP GOES LOOKING FOR HIM. I shouldn't say this. I should not say this pastor. Because… you know, I need all the help I can get. And…I will say, I'm leading with the evangelicals, big league. And I really…wanna thank you. Cuz you've been so good. He said, ‘he may not be perfect, but he's gonna make this country great. He's a leader…! …that's what we need!’ …and I wanna thank you pastor –MR. TRUMP AND THE PASTOR HUG AND TALK, INAUDIBLE. He's been so great… and I am Protestant, I am Presbyterian…just in case anybody wants to know.
 
So…the polls come out…and we're really killing it. We are killing it! –CROWD CHEERS. They mentioned a little while ago…Scotty, about the silent majority. Its back. And it's not silent. I think we should call it…maybe we should call it, ‘the noisy’, ‘the aggressive’, ‘the wanting to win!’, ‘wanting to win…! …majority’-CROWD CHEERS. That's what it is. We wanna win! We're tired of being pushed around by incompetent people…-CROWD CALLS OUT ‘YEAH!’-…we’re just tired…of what's happening! We’re sick and tired of what's happening! And it's gonna change. It's gonna change.
 
But before I get to that, cuz that's unpleasant, but it's going to be pleasant. Because…I finish the speech last week, and I have to say it: we're gonna have so many victories…that…at some point, they're just gonna be coming out of your ears! Oh, I have to be careful what I say about coming out of somebody's…ears…! -CROWD LAUGHS. I’ve to be careful! –IN A SARCASTIC TONE. Nose, ears, eyes…those are the only places I'm talking about –CROWD LAUGHS-…the only places. But we're gonna have so many victories…and they're gonna be great victories! And we're gonna have them all the time! Because we have an amazing country…we have a country that is dying, they just wanna have victory! We don't have wins anymore! We don't have it!
 
So…the debate. I hear they're all going after me…whatever! Whatever! –CROWD LAUGHS. No, I hear it! Everybody…you know, all these geniuses… ‘the talking heads’ on television…and some are great! Actually, some have come around. You know, at the beginning…three four months ago: -MR. TRUMP IMPERSONATES THEM-… ‘well he's just doing this for fun’. ‘He's doing this for his brand’. I need this, like from my brand…okay? –MR. TRUMP SAYS IT SARCSATICALLY AND THE CROWD LAUGHS. But, ‘he's doing it for his brand!’. One person, a real loser said, ‘he's a clown!’, ‘he's a clown!’. Now they're saying, ‘oh, how do we stop this guy?’, no more clow. I haven't heard the word ‘clown’ in a while, -I’LL- tell you. They don't use that word anymore –CROWD CHEERS. They don't use it!
 
There's a group of pundits out there…I don't think they're smart. I think they pretend they're smart. You know, they wear the heavy glasses…and they look, and they look…I'm not talking about Perry, who happens to be a nice guy, really. He is a nice guy. But he came after me hard. Didn't he!? Meh! You know, I had dinner with him a couple of years ago…I thought he was terrific and then he came after me very hard. And…and you know…I gave him a really good…I said…sort of easy, when somebody drops out I’m a racy…I'm gonna say good about everybody…everybody! But I like that man. And…frankly, he tried. But I'm talking about the guys that sit around the tables. And they talk about…us. They talk about me. And they say, ‘well…’, but most of them are now saying, ‘we think he's gonna win’, you know. Can you believe it!? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Now…we still have a few out there. Their hatred is so incredible…! …it's so incredible! Absolute hatred. I watch some of these guys, like this guy…should I mention names? –CROWD CALLS OUT ‘YEAH!’. Okay. I will –CROWD LAUGHS. The problem is…when I mention them, they can never ever support me. That's the problem. And you know, we’re on…look at all those live television feeds…it's always tough! Every time I speak, they put me on live television! So I have to make different speeches. These guys go around they make the same speech, hundreds, and hundreds, and hundreds of time…nobody cares…it’s true! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’s true! It’s true!
 
You know, you got CNN live…you got ‘em all! And…who…-CROWD BOOS-…who needs…? No, they’re fif…there fifty percent good –CROWD LAUGHS. Fifty percent. They've been pretty nice. But you know, who really wouldn't you think about it…? …who has to do this?
So I come out today…how many live feeds you have? Many. Look at all those cameras back there…to…take a look everybody. Now if you like the media give them a big hand, and if you don't give them a big ‘boo’ –CROWD BOOS IN UNISON. I had a feeling! –CROWD LAUGHS. You know the truth is…there's some really great…people…I'm dealing usually in the world of financial…that's easier, it's like…numbers. You're either good, you're not good…you know, it’s sort of much easier. But I found the press to be much…more honorable in the financials, of financial media. But the political media…! …and I found some great ones! There are some great ones. But…should I mention some…? No, I'm not gonna do that here, cause then you're gonna leave some out. But…okay.
 
So…George Will is a disaster guys. A disaster. Honestly!? Another one…Karl Rove…-CROWD BOOS-…no, he's terrible! He's terrible! He's terrible! He still thinks that Mitt Romney won! –CROWD LAUGHS. He's still going around saying, ‘I think we won’ –CROWS LAUGHS. This guy raised…think of this. He ought to be in Wall Street, he raises money pretty well. He raised…last cycle, last…the last presidential election. He raised…434 million dollars! And didn't win one race! Can you believe that!? –CROWD LAUGHS. Can you believe it!? And I understand it. Because I saw some of the commercials that he made. I saw commercial he made against Barack Obama. And I called up, I said, ‘who did that commercial? It's one of the best commercials I've ever seen’. I gotta use that firm, they're phenomenal. But I didn't realize…it was against Obama, it was so good for Obama…! –CROWD LAUGHS. That was the one with Germany, and this…
 
Remember, ‘do you want a rock star!?’. you want a…!?’. I said, ‘he's not a rock star!’. We have an incompetent president…this is not a rock star! We have a president…that doesn't know what the hell he's doing!
 
So Karl Rove, every night…you know, some of these guys, like George Will, and Karl Rove, and a few others…but those of…I mentioned. They're like…anybody in the real estate business? Right?  -A- Couple of us…I love real estate. Let me just tell you. One of the great people in sort of the row…Andy Beal…Beal Bank! Stand up Andy! Stand up! Come on, he's a shy man, he's only worth about six billion dollars. He's the great guys, he’s been a great friend of mine. I don't wanna borrow any money from him. Cuz he expects it to be paid back in full, and on time. Right, Andy? –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
But…you look at some of these guys…and…they're like boilers! Okay? Real estate. They're like boilers. Bill O'Reilly the other night said...she…and Bill O'Reilly a good guy. Great guy. He is a good guy. Great guy! –CROWD CHEERS. Although he's tough, and he's tough with me…that I can tell you. Some people say, ‘how can you say he's a great guy?’. But he's fair. But I saw Karl Rove on her show the other night. And the…name, ‘Trump’ came up, and you could see it was like a boiler…ready to explode, ‘ay…eah…ahh…’ –ONOMATOPOEIC SOUNDS MADE TO MOCK MR. ROVE. CROWD LAUGHS. I think the guy is a total incompetent jerk –CROWD CHEERS. But him, and…and there are others. But I would say this!: anybody that gives him, Karl Rove, and others…the group of losers. Anybody that gives them money…you’re losers yourself! Does it make sense? Cuz they don't know what they're doing!

So the polls come out, and everybody's surging but Trump. They don't wanna say I'm surging! I went up to forty percent today, in New Hampshire. You saw that. Forty percent! –CROWD CHEERS. Second…! …second is, I think 11 or 12. Right? 11 or 12. And…I won't mention names, cuz he's actually a nice guy. I'll mention names! Why shouldn't I!? Should I!? –CROWD CHEERS. Yes! Right!? It's Ben Carson, he's a nice man –CROWD CHEERS. I think he's in second place…at eleven or twelve percent.
 
Now I'm at 40, and it's actually 41…but they don't wanna say that. They don't wanna give me the little benefit of a couple of…you know, if I'm 40.9, they'll say I'm at forty. Do you understand that? –CROWD LAUGHS.
So Ben Carson, good guy. I think he's 11, or 12. And they're saying, ‘Carson…’, here's the headline: ‘Carson surging!’ –CROWD LAUGHS. I said, ‘what about me!?’. Where’s my name!? –CROWD LAUGHS. I'm at 40! Where's my name!? It's unbelievable! Do you know where my name is!? –MR. TRUMP LOOKS AT THE PEOPLE BEHIND HIM. They don't know where my name is either!
 
By the way, can you see in the back…? They have the best view! Can you see? It's really my hair? –CROWD CALLS OUT ‘YES!’. Well that's the other thing. I mean, I get killed on that. I had an article recently…It's true, they have the best view. They know –CROWD LAUGHS. Not that bad…! …right? I mean, I've seen…what…I have friends…it's over! I have many friends…the hair is over –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
But I had the article, the other day. A great article. They said, ‘Trump is a financial genius’, Right? They said all good things…they said he's doing great… ‘doing great here’…and…but they said, ‘he wears the worst hairpiece…’ and I said, ‘that’s terrible’.  So I can't show the article to anybody, even though was a good article. But…in the polls it's been so amazing! We started off…and everybody said…! …you remember this, I won't run. I won't run. And I said, ‘why –DO- they say that?’. I'm telling you I'm gonna run.
 
NBC came over, and as you know, and I like NBC, you know, for years we had The Apprentice, IT- was a tremendous success. One of the great successes on television. And…their head of Comcast. I just tell you…his first name is Steven, he's a phenomenal guy. Steve Burke! …one of the great people. A great, great guy, and a great manager. He came over, with a group of people from NBC. Steve's one of the…you know, a head of Comcast. And they said, ‘we're gonna renew The Apprentice…’, and by the way, it's a lot of money! Did you see my certified financial statement, what I made…with The Apprentice? When I give up The Apprentice, I mean…I made 213 million dollars! Can you believe it!? –CROWD APPLAUDS. From a television show! And I had this… no, I had these…announcers say, ‘oh, no, I think he only made a million dollars’. And guys like Joe Scarborough, who's a good guy, right? Yeah? He said, ‘no, no, he's got a prime-time show for years, I mean, it's got to be…!’.
 
Anyway, when they checked it, 200…! So, NBC renews The Apprentice, and I told them, ‘don't do it! …cuz I'm running for president, I'm gonna make our country great again! Don't renew it!’
 
Now, you know if I make 213 million dollars, over a…you know, run of 12 years’ or whatever…that's a lot of money! Even for me it's a lot…that's a lot of money! That's pretty good! Right? …considering it's not my main business! But I made this money, and the people come up and they say, ‘oh, well we're gonna renew it anyway, cuz he's not gonna run’. So NBC renewed The Apprentice. They announced that they renewed it. They said that ‘Donald Trump will do another season’, and I told ‘em not to do it! Then I told them…that ‘I'm not doing it’, again. And they went in the Up Front’s Arena –AN AMERICAN TV SHOW. And they were so angry at me! They were so angry! But you know what? I give up a lot. When I…when I do this, I give up a lot.  I miss all of these deals…I love my business. I love what I'm doing! Andy can tell you that. Tom Bennison can tell you that. I love Club Corporation of America, by the way, in case you have never heard of…Tom Bennison. But I lose a lot…! …not only I don't do The Apprentice, and get paid a fortune. It's also…I lose…opportunity, all these deals. I have a deal in China. I've deals all over the place, that I could do! Boo, boo… -IMPERSONATING A FEWER SECTOR THAT BOOS. But it's true! It's like picking up a check. It's like picking up a check! But I give up a lot. You know, when a politician…all talk, no action…politician runs…what do they give up!? They give up nothing! They run…you know what? They run, they lose, they win…they don't care…well, they wanna just be reelected, or run again, if they fail. Right? –CROWD CALLS OUT ‘YEAH!’.With me…it's…it's a whole big deal –CROWD LAUGHS. It's a whole big deal.
 
And you know, I'm self-funding my campaign. I'm not taking all of this blood money. Not doing it –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I'm not doing it. And I feel…a little bit awkward, and a little stupid. I have guys…offering me…millions and millions of dollars! You know, when you're a number one place…then the bloodsuckers come out. The lobbyists, the special interest, the donors… ‘Don, we love’. You know, guys that haven't heard from in 10 years. ‘Don we love you!’. You know, forty percent in New Hampshire, winning Iowa…we're…killing in Iowa. Incredible people. New Hampshire, incredible people. South Carolina, incredible people. Incredible numbers there too. We're winning in Florida! Think of it: you have Jeb Bush, governor Florida, you have a sitting senator in Florida…Marco Rubio. And the poll comes out the other day, ‘Trump is leading in Florida’ –CROWD CHEERS. Can you imagine!? Big league! How about this? …have you ever heard of the great state of Texas!? –CROWD CHEERS. Leading in Texas! How does that happen!?
 
So…so it's been an amazing period of time. I've never experienced anything like it. And, I've been well known for a long period of time. That's why I got chosen for the apprentice in the first place. And in fact, I don't know if you just heard, they called me up today, NBC. Couldn't be nicer. You know, they finally calmed down. I settled my lawsuit with ‘em. Did you hear? Did you hear? Yes, she heard –MR. TRUMP REFERS TO, APPARENTLY, A WOMAN IN THE CROWD. I settled my lawsuit with ‘em last week. A lot of litigation. Settled it. They couldn't have been nicer. And… they called me today, and wanted…everything, you know, they want me on their side, and I am on their side. Cuz I really like the guys at NBC. And they have announced, will soon announce…you know who’s gonna take the place of ‘Trump’? Arnold! Arnold! Arnold Schwarzenegger! Good? Right? I think it's a good choice. And he's a friend of mine. And I…approve it a hundred percent. And I'm with him a hundred percent. I think he's gonna do great, and will raise a lot of money for charity. You know, I'm still in there, cuz I have a big chunk of it. A lot of people don't know that. These are minor details. But I think Arnold is gonna do great.  And…so they just announced today that Arnold Schwarzenegger is gonna be doing The Apprentice, because I'm not allowed to do it, because I'm doing this. So I wish Arnold well. 
 
We…have so many problems in this country, will talk about a few of them. And we'll celebrate…because ultimately, we're gonna have victory. We're gonna have victory. This is a movement that's happening. I had a lawyer come up to see me a little while ago. He said, ‘Mr. Trump, I've been doing this for 35 years. I've never seen what's happened here’. I got a call from a writer from the New York Times. I have great respect for the New York Times, and…called up, somebody …-APPARENTLY, THE CROWD COMPLAINS ABOUT SOMETHING. IMPERCEPTIBLE-…I know, I hear that. But it's okay. This is a good story, not a bad story.
 
And he said, ‘could I ask you a question?’. I said ‘what?’. Very powerful writer, actually. He said, ‘how does it feel…’, -I-said, ‘how does what feel?’. He said, ‘what you've done has never, ever been done before. You've dominated, you've taken over the polls, you taken all…’. You know, on television, on Fox, and CNN, they call, ‘all Trump, all the time’. Can you believe it? –CROWD CHEERS. ‘All Trump, all the time’. And by the way, their ratings are through the roof. If they weren't, they wouldn't put me on, I'll be honest with you. It's a very simple formula in entertainment and television. If you get good ratings…! …if you get good ratings! …and these aren’t good, these are monster! Then you're gonna be on all the time! …even if you have nothing to say! –CROWD LAUGHS. If you come up with a cure for a major, major, horrendous…disease, and if you don't get ratings, they won't bother, even reporting it. It's very simple business. It's very simple.
 
So…we've gone on. We've had a lot of fun. And now it's time to really start. Because this is going to happen. I'm telling you. This…I'm not going anywhere. Somebody said…today…! –CROWD INTERRUPTS BY CHEERING-…we’re not going anywhere! Somebody said today, ‘you've done so well, you don't have to go any further’. I- said, ‘are you crazy!? You gotta…’ You know what, the writer at the Times told me. He said, ‘it's been amazing, what you've done’. I said, ‘but I haven't won! We haven't won anything!’ What if I won…? I mean, I'm having fun…and all…but I haven't won! There's been no victory! He said, ‘it doesn't matter! What you've done is incredible. You have won’. I said, ‘you're wrong! Unless I win, it's been a waste of time for me folks’. I'll be honest with you. It’s been a total waste of time. I really mean that too –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We should have won… -MEMBER IN THE CROWD CALLS OUT ‘YOU WILL WIN!’. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES IT-… ‘thank you. He said, “you will win”’.
 
We should have won last time. Mitt Romney led us down. I mean he let us down! He let us down! You know, one of the things that I'm really happy about… ‘I'm surging’ they said…can you believe this one? … ‘I'm surging…with women!’. Can you believe that? …-CROWD CHEERS IN WHAT APPRENTLY SOUNDS AS A SHARPER/FEMALE CHEER. I have such respect for women. I cherish women. I'm gonna take such good care…of women's health care issues, you won't even believe it. But I'm surging with women! One of the things coming out…! …I'm watching television…and…they said, ‘Trump is surging with women’. I said, ‘really? …that's amazing’. You know, it's incredible. I make…like…statements cuz you know, Carly's give me a little bit of a hard time, even though her poll numbers are horrible –CROWD LAUGHS. She's the one! She was another one: ‘she surging’. Benish…everybody surging but me! –CROWD LAUGHS. Hillary's not surging! I tell you that –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They're not saying that. They're not saying… ‘thank you’ –MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES A MEMBER IN THE CROWD. Hilary is not surging.
 
Look: I like Carly. And I like Ben. And I like many of the people that I'm running against. I mean, many of these people are terrific people. But…nobody's gonna be able to do the job that I'm gonna do. Nobody. They won’t! They won't –CROWD APPLAUDS AND STARTS CHANTING ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY. Don't forget… ‘I love these people back there’ –MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES THOSE CHANTING HIS NAME AND TURNS AROUND TO THANK THEM. THEY CHEER. But they won't! I mean, what do…is…I do deals! I deal! I have tremendous energy…tremendous! To a point where it's almost ridiculous, when you think about. But we need somebody with great energy, with great passion, with great deal making skills –CROWD CALLS OUT ‘YEAH!’. And we need a closer. We need closers. We don't have closers! We just don't have closers! And honestly, they’re not deal people! I'll tell you they're good at raising money, for their packs, or whatever the hell they’re…probably they're not supposed to do that, but most of them are doing it anyways…it’s illegal as hell, but I think they're doing it anyway –CROWD LAUGHS. HAVE- You ever noticed you hear they have money in the pack, but they don't have hard money. But the pack is given over…yet…I say, what's going on over here!? I'm not allowed…how come I can't talk to anybody, and again…I have to tell you this, and I wanna have your opinion.
 
So…I'm self-funding, I told you. But if I took hundreds of millions, I could…I’ll tell you what. I could have…two hundred million dollars so fast. If I took that, would you people object if I promise not to do anything from the people I took it from? –CROWD BOOS AND CALLS OUT ‘NO!’ BASHFULLY. Now I had a group in Iowa. Actually, they were much more vocal about this one issue. And they stood up, ‘no, no!’. The place…I mean, I realize how important it is…putting your own money in. Because, you know, I'm telling people…that…Jeb, nice guy. Really a nice guy –CROWD BOOS. Jeb…Hillary –CROWD BOOS LOUDER-…well Jeb's more popular than one person I know… -MR. TRUMP REFERS TO MRS. HILLARY CLINTON. CROWD LAUGHS-…but all of them, I don't wanna go through the names. They have…money put up, in packs or hard money…whatever…wherever the money is. Believe me! I was the king… I was the king…you know, I was the white-haired…I…no, blond-haired, let's say blond-haired –CROWD LAUGHS. But I was the blond-head. I was perfect! I was the ultimate! I was the ultimate sort of insider! I put up money…they loved me!
 
But then when I said I'm running, they all looked at me like the RNC range is a great guy, but it took them a little while, because…they looked at me like, ‘you're not supposed to be doing that. You're supposed to be putting up money. And…if you need something in two years, three years, five years, they'll do whatever you want!’. And what happened…is…I know the system, I think better than anybody. I know the taxes, they…look: taxes. Who knows better than me!? We're gonna reduce taxes… -CROWD CHEERS. We're going to…make the hedge fund guys…any hedge fund guys, it’s…it would be mostly in this crew…oh, man, you got…good seats –CROWD LAUGHS. Are there any hedge fund guys in this room? If there are, you should probably leave right now. Tthat's okay –MR. TRUMP MEANS IT JOKINGLY, AND THE CROWD LAUGHS. But I have a friend in the hedge fund business, not really a friend, not actually a nice guy. But he'd be good representing us, I’ll tell you, cuz by the time I finish, she may not have much of a head fudge father –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
But…but I said, ‘what did you make last year?’. He said, ‘about 250 million’ …can you believe it…this is serious! I said, ‘oh! It's a lot of money! What did you pay in taxes?’. He goes, ‘Donald…practically nothing!’ –IN A JOKING TONE. That was a couple of years ago, I never forgot it. The other day he calls me up, cuz he hears me talking about hedge fund guys are gonna pay up. And he calls me up the other day…I was only kidding, you know, when I said that it was sort of bragging, he doesn't know what to do! The truth is they'll do just fine. They're gonna do just fine. Because we're gonna make the country so successful, they'll do just fine. They'll end up doing better. They'll end up doing better –CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
But we gotta lower taxes…for a lot of people. Corporations paying far too much…far too much. Middle-income people are being decimated…! They’re being decimated! I mean, we have a group of 200 guys, but…but, the middle income…in this country is being decimated! And we're gonna change it! We're gonna change it! –CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
So I'll be announcing over the next three or so weeks…I'll be announcing, I think a great excellent tax plan. I know the tax code; I know…everything about it. Probably as well as anybody…there is. Right? And we're gonna be doing something that's gonna be wheelie pro-growth! Really reduction in taxes! We're gonna get to two and a half trillion dollars that's in other countries…we're gonna get it back! They can't…-CROWD APPLAUDS-…no, we're gonna get it back! And, you know, you have corporate inversion. Does anybody know what that means?  You know, in the old days…people might leave New York for Texas…or they may go…from New Jersey to Florida, or whatever. It's not that way anymore. Now they go from this country, to other countries! And they go for two reasons: lower taxes, …lower labor…but lower taxes…you have countries that wanna charge ‘em nothing! So they take these companies, and these guys…they make a fortune! They have no real loyalty…in many cases. They have no real loyal to the United States. They wanna show a good…profitable or statement. So they take, and they go to another country. And all of a sudden their numbers look good. And they can't bring their money back in. And by the way, for two and a half three years, I've seen every politician agrees, that we should lower the tax…on bringing money! …cause it's so owners…that nobody in this room would bring that money back. Everybody says it!
 
For two and a half years,the Democrats, the Republicans, the liberals, the conservatives…everybody! They can't make a deal! They can't make a deal! We have a government that's really messed up. Because we don't have a leader at the top. A right leader could get it done! –CROWD APPLAUDS. The right leader will get it done! And you will see numbers like you'd never have seen before. I actually believe…that…and we're in trouble, you know, I've made the statement, and I've said this before, ‘the American Dream is dead, but I'm gonna make it bigger, and better, and stronger than ever before’. I've made that statement! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…and I'll tell you what happens, and it happens a lot!
 
The other day…I went home…and I said…to my wife, ‘what's wrong?’. NOW MR. TRUMP PLAYS OUT MRS. TRUMP-… ‘oh darling, you were very tough’. ‘What? What did I do?’…cuz of course is live television! She said, ‘you said the American Dream is dead’. I said, ‘no, I said “the American Dream is dead, but I'm gonna make it bigger, and better, and stronger than ever before”’. She said, ‘no, you didn't! You just said it's dead’. So I turn on television, it's wonderful now, you can record this stuff…right? See it…10 hours later. I turn on television, and it's me standing in this big crowd… ‘the American Dream is dead!’…clut! –ONOMATOPOEIC SOUND ACCOMPANIED BY GESTURE MEANING THE PRESS OR MEDIA CUT MR. TRUMP’S STATEMENT AT THAT MOMENT-…I said, ‘oh’…-CROWD LAUGHS. MR. TRUMP TURNS AROUND. Again, the dishonest media. You know, I…I would…I went ballistic. I went so… I was so angry.
 
But…the American dream it's going to be better. I'll tell you what. We can make it better than ever before…we can do… -CROWD APPLAUDS-…I mean, we're in Texas, we can do things with oil and gas that will be unbelievable! -CROWD CHEERS AND APPLADUS. Unbelievable! Unbelievable!
 
Try sending your oil outside of the boundaries of the United States…how ridiculous! And we're sitting on top. Because of technology…we can be the number one energy producer in the world –CROWD APPLAUDS. Right here, in the United States. But we have archaic laws. We have…everything's wrong! And I have so many friends, in the energy business…they’re great people…they're working. They're not as rich as they were about two months ago, but these are minor details…they'll be fine. But we can do things with energy that will be so…so incredible, which is great for Texas, but it's great for the country! It's great for the country! –CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
Now…China…Japan… -CROWD BOOS. True! You can't be upset with China, or Japan, or Mexico…! Can't be upset with anyone. You know, when I announced for the presidency…was very interesting what happened. I made a beautiful speech. I thought it was wonderful. Everything was fine. About a week and a half later, they attacked me. In other words, they went through…and then they lied, they made it up! And they talked about…I'm talking about illegal immigration. And I brought up a subject called ‘illegal immigration’. And I just saw backstage some of the families…who were decimated. Their families were decimated. Their sons, their daughters…killed…! …by illegal immigrants! And it's a massive problem! We have to stop…illegal immigration! We have to do it! We have to do it! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. THEY EVEN STAND UP AND START CHANTING UP ‘TRUMP!’. Have to do!  CROWD STARTS CHANTING ‘U.S.A!’ REPEATEDLY. MR. TRUMP FOLLOWS THROUGH GESTURES.
 
And…when I hear some of the people…that I'm running against, including the Democrats…we have to build a wall folks –CROWD CHEERS. We have to build a wall. And it all works. All you have to do is go to Israel, say, ‘how's your wall working?’. Walls work. And I want people to come into the country. But I want ‘em to be legal! I want ‘em to go through the process. I want ‘em to come in. I wanna have a big, beautiful door! But they have to be legal! They have to be! And if they're not going to be, they can't come in. And I'll tell you what. The first thing we do…you know…people don't realize. You look at crime in Chicago, you look at crime in so many different places…and you see gangs! Many of these gang members…are…illegal immigrants. They're rough dudes. They will be out of here so freaking fast! –CROWD CHEERS.
 
And I think a lot of these countries send them in here because they don't want ‘em. Cause what do they want ‘em in prison for…for 40 years they…
Look…look: whether it's any country, their leaders are smarter than our leaders. They’re more cunning, they're tougher, they're better! And we take them…Kate! …in San Francisco, this magnificent young woman, shot in the back! …by a guy that was sent over here, probably pushed over…who knows!? …but it was an illegal immigrant. Came over, went to San Francisco…we have to end the Sanctuary Cities crap fast…! …fast! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So he admits he's guilty. Now he's got a lawyer, ‘oh, he didn't really know…he wasn't aiming there, was a ricochet…bababa –ONOMATOPOEIC SOUND. It's disgusting…what's happening to our country.
 
We are a dumping ground for the rest of the world. We are. A dumping ground. And let me tell you something: the whole subject of the Anchor Babies. Did you hear that character for one of the network's? –MR. TRUMP PLAYS THAT PERSON OUT-… ‘Anchor Baby is…this…really not a nice term’. I said, ‘what would you? …what would you say?’. And…he gives me like a 12-word definition. I said, ‘no, I’ll have to use Anchor Baby’ –CROWD LAUGHS. But, and…in…I don't mean to be disrespectful. But when a man…has a problem, and he's got his wife…or his girlfriend…and they…move her over to the border for one day. Has the baby on the other side of the border. Our side! Now that baby, is a citizen of our country, for however long the baby lives, hopefully alone –CROWD BOOS. It's wrong! It's wrong! And by the way, by the way…the law doesn't call that! That's not what the law says! And people are finding out now that I'm right! We didn't say that somebody could be pregnant for nine months, come across the border, have a baby and now it's ours…and we have to take care of the baby for a…! It doesn't say that! It does not say it!
 
So we have to straighten out…we have to straighten out our rack. We're gonna have…a great country. We’re gonna have…a great border. That’s…a real border! You people are suffering. I mean, you know, I'm in New York…but from New York too! They're all over the place! –CROWD LAUGHS. We…want…people to be in our country…legally! Legally! –CROWD CHEERS.
 
And we want great people too. We want people of achievement! If you go to Harvard, or Stanford, or the Wharton School of Finance, or any of these schools…! …or Yale! And you’re in the top of your class! …you graduate, you wanna stay in the United States, and you wanna have your career here. You can't! They throw you out. They put you back in China, they send you back to Mexico, they said…those are the people…! …we need those…but we need them in Silicon Valley, we need them in Manhattan, we need them in Dallas, we need them! Why are we throwing them out!?  They wanna be in this country, and we throw them out!

So…we have so many things we can do. So many things we can do. Now, I'll give you a little thing that happened the other day, I made a speech on behalf of the Tea party, and by the way, the tea party people are fantastic people –CROWD CHEERS. They are fantastic people, they love the country so much! And you talk about people that get decimated! They just get decimated by the media! These are fantastic people; they love this country! These are the people that we want! But I look at what's going on, and I look at what's happening, and I made a speech in Washington the other day…for the Tea Party, and your senator too, by the way, senator Cruz, who happens to be a good guy. Good guy! –CROWD CHEERS. Now, if he comes out and attacks me on Wednesday night, I will take it back, immediately. Okay? –CROWD LAUGHS. But he is a good guy.
 
I'm standing there and the Capitol building…has his massive……scaffolding around it! Right? Have you seen it? Massive! I said, ‘man, that's a big deal!’, as a real estate guy, the thing I do best is build. Hey, wouldn't it be good to have a president that really knows how to build!? –CROWD CHEERS. Like I'm so good at it! Infrastructure, roads, airports, highways…I could do it for a fraction, you know. I'm building the old post office on Pennsylvania Avenue…under budget, ahead of schedule…can you believe that!? –CROWD CHEERS. And I got it from the Obama administration! …and everybody else wanted it! …which I still haven't figured out, actually. But it's gonna be a great hotel. but they're doing the Capitol building. And it's got massive, massive scaffolding…! And we're having, in 2016, you know we're gonna have…a thing called…like an… election…right? And they say that this massive scaffolding…I heard this the other day from a construction firm that's involved in the job that does massive scaffolding…they want to have it for the inauguration. Would that be nice for me!? –CROWD CHEERS. But they wanna have all the scaffolding down…! …but they can't do the work, because they don't have enough time! There's so much time…! …what are they doing…!? …caulking, pointing, fixing…structure…what the hell are they doing!? It's not a big deal! So they're going to take all…of the scaffolding down…pay millions of dollars to do that…millions…! …and then after the inauguration, they’re gonna put it back up again and pay millions of dollars! Do you believe that!? Right? –CROWD BOOS.
Now, I say…do it simpler. Get ‘em to work faster! You agree? I like the idea. –CROWD CHEERS. No, no…I like the idea…of the scaffolding being down when they're swearing me in…I do. I don't wanna see all the scaffolding all over the place. I wanna see that beautiful rota…I wanna see it…I love it! Such a beautiful builind…! …but you know what? I told ‘em. I said, ‘why don't you just move faster? Work faster, get it done! …so you take it down, you don't have to put it up!’. They said, ‘we never thought of that!’. Believe it!? –CROWD LAUGHS. But they're gonna take it down. They're gonna take it down. I hear the contracts or…so they're gonna take it down, then put it back up. Can you believe this!? So let me tell you: I'm gonna save my first money for the United States. If I win, I will let the scaffolding stay up. Okay? All right? I will let it stay up. Okay? –CROWD CHEERS. Alright? I will let it stay up! I- will save millions of dollars! So in the pictures…they'll have some scaffolding. They can probably nowadays do something with that, anyway. So in the pictures we’ll have some scaffolding…
 
So… -A WOMAN IN THE CROWD INTERVENES AND URGES TRUMP TO SAY ‘WHEN’ HE WINS AND NOT ‘IF’ HE DOES. MR. TRUMP AKNOWLEDGES IT-… ‘not “if” I win…she…I love this woman, stand up. What did you just say…? … “not if you win, when you win”’…-CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So a story I tell…is a friend of mine, who's a big manufacturer, great guy. Can't do business with China! Can't get his stuff in there. He calls me he's depressed. He says to me, ‘Donald, I can't deal with China’, and he's a good guy. He does great stuff, better than they do. He said, ‘I can't…I can't sell it, they don't take it’. Finally, they're taking it, they're charging him a massive tax. A massive tax! Another friend of mine recently, he bought an airplane. It's a rich guy. But…what…like for these people here –MR. TRUMP POINTS TO THE FRONT ROW. THE CROWD LAUGHS-…they probably all have this airplaine…but a really good plane. I said, ‘why did you sell your…over again?’, and he said, ‘well, what happened…is…a man from China ordered a plane…and he can't get it back into China…because the tax is…humongous!’ …so he's selling it cheap! The guy from China took a haircut, because the tax is so big…! …you don't know about these stories! And yet we take everything they have…no tags! …free market!
 
Now, Japan…Japan sells us millions of cars! I was in Los Angeles a few weeks ago. The biggest ships I've ever seen. Ever! Thousands of cars are pouring off…pouring off, pouring…but we give them beef. And they don't want it! Do you ever see where their farmers are protesting…they don't want it? So we send it back. By the time it goes back again…it's all gone…it's done.
 
Mexico! …everybody's moving to Mexico! You know that, right? Do you know that!? So many people moving to Mexico…I love Mexico! I love Mexico! I deal with…I have hundreds, and hundreds, and thousands actually…are people…that are Mexican. They work for me! They're great people! …but their leaders are smart! They're smart!
So we have Nabisco…! …the other day. Oreos. I refuse to eat Oreos anymore. They're moving their plan to Mexico. From Chicago! –CROWD BOOS. Why!? How does it help us!? How does it help us!?
 
Ford! Ford! Two and a half billion dollar-plant…being built in Mexico –CROWD BOOS. For cars! And trucks! And everything! And I said the other day…it's actually not a bad idea. Because they can build a car, build a truck, and they can have the illegals drive it right across the border. Nobody's gonna check them! They'll save a fortune! They'll save a fortune! So I don't want them spending…two and a half billion…! That's a hell of a plant! By the way, in Tennessee another major car company…all set to go in Tennessee…at the last moment they said, ‘we're not gonna go to Tennessee, we’re going to Mexico…’ …it's gonna become like…the car capital of the world!
 
So what happens is…Ford…! …two and a half billion dollar-plant. Now, I said, ‘what would Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton do if they were president…?’ Because you gotta remember what I said, they're controlled by the people that gave him the money. Totally. By the lobbyists, by the special interest. So…but they’re smart! They’d say, ‘we don't like this deal. We're gonna end it’, and then they'd be called by their lobbyists and say, ‘Hillary, we gave you millions of dollars…and I represent Ford…’ …or whatever the company it is… ‘and…we don't want you to do that. It's no good. We don't want you to do that’. And you know what they're gonna say? ‘Okay, I'll let him build’.
 
Now, compare that. First of all, believe me: that plant doesn't get built there, it gets built right next to…it might not be here! …it's gonna be…maybe in Michigan, where they're just being decimated…! …with the plants! …they’re being decimatd…everybody's leaving! They're going to Mexico…! …and other places! So I said to myself, ‘what would Bush do…what would Hillary do…and what would Trump do?’. First of all, who would you rather have negotiating…Jeb or Trump –CROWD CHEERS. Believe me, how about this…Hillary, who by the way, was the worst Secretary of State in the history of our country! You think about it –CROWD CHEERS!
 
Would you rather have Hillary negotiating? Or would you rather have Trump!? –CROWD CHEERRS. Okay. So let's say….you know what Jeff does, you know what Hilary does…the plant gets built, no problem, don't worry about it, what the hell…? …it's only about 10,000 jobs, or whatever…it was billions of dollars. And our country's being drained! We're being…our jobs are being stolen…by all these countries! …and not just them! All of them! So what would…president Trump do? President Trump… ‘Trump! Trump! Trump!’ –FOLLOWING THE CROWD. What would President Trump do?
 
So I’d call the head of Ford or, whatever company, but I’d call the head of Ford. I'd say, ‘congratulations. I understand you're building a massive plant…in Mexico, and you taking a lot of jobs away from us, in Michigan, and other places. No, I don't like that. I don't like it. I just don't like it’. And he'll say, ‘well, Mr. president, is wonderful…wonderful for the economy’…oh, great, just great. It's wonderful for whose economy…? Not for our economy. We lose on everything. We lose on jobs, we lose on money…we lose on everything!
 
So what I'd say is the following: ‘I don't want you to do that. And…if you do it, you're not gonna have any cars coming across the border unless you pay a thirty-five percent tax’. That's it –CROWD CHEERS. That's it. No that's it! And…they're going to say…they're going to say to me, ‘Mr. president, please, please, please…’. Now, I guarantee….let's say I make this call at nine o'clock in the morning…? …by five o'clock in the afternoon, I think the deal is done. They move back to the United States. It may take a half a day longer. Maybe twelve o'clock the following day. But I guarantee you…so they'll…but what will happen is…I'll be called by lobbyists…but they're not give me any money…I won't take it! I turned down five million dollars last week! 5 million dollars! …I said, ‘can't take it!’. You know, I go like this…I just close my eyes, you know, it's…it's…really sort of not natural to me to turn down money! Does that make…? –CROWD LAUGHS. But I turn it down! Because once…I know the game! Once they give you…you sort of owe them! Right? You don't…how can you tell a guy you know, you gave me five million, you help me get elected, and I'm gonna hurt you with your client.
 
So what happens…I would say…is that I will get a call from the head…of Ford, and he’ll say, ‘Mr. Trump you're doing the wrong thing’, and I say, ‘alright, that's fine. Just do it. Just do what I say. Do what I say’ –CROWD LAUGHS. And I guarantee you, after I tell all the lobbyists, special interests, and people that donate everybody else but me, cuz I won't take their money…after I tell them all ‘no’, within a short period of time…they'll call up and they’ll say, ‘Mr. president, we've decided to move our plant back to the United States, sir’. This is gonna happen! That's what's going to happen! –CROWD CHEERS. So…just a couple of more points and, you know, you…it's depressing! Isn't it depressing!? You know, we're together, we love each other, but it's like depressing, if you think about it! Cuz it doesn't end! I could stand up here all night long…I could tell you stories…they're all depressing! But the good news is they can all be remedied. Every one of them! They can be remedied –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So Iran deal. Iran deal –CROWD BOOS. They did not read that great book –MR. TRUMP TURNS AROUND LOOKING FOR THE BOOK AS HE UTTERS ‘where’s that book’? AND POINTS AT PEOPLE IN THE CROWD RIGHT BEHIND HIM. The Art Of The Deal. They did not read it! Secretary of State Kerry…he actually may go down as worse than Hillary Clinton, because he made this deal. He may be the worst, he may top her, because this deal is the old-time worse. We're giving them one and a half…think of this! We're actually giving them 150 billion dollars…no, think of it! No, think of it! We don't have the right to inspect…we have to wait 24 days, but before the clock starts ticking…we have to go through this whole process…I mean they could build their…nuclear, whatever, distribute them, and have plenty of time left over to clean the place up!
 
So you have a 24-day period, not anytime anywhere which is what it should be…think of another thing: they have one instance, where in a very major area, they self-inspect. Now, can you believe this? They do their own inspections. They do their own inspections –CROWD BOOS. And another thing. Look: having a good deal, we should have doubled the sanctions, let ‘em wait for another month or two, they would have come, we would have had a deal like you've ever seen. We have our chief negotiator, secretary Kerry…at 73 years old goes into a bicycle race, they'll… think of it! He's wearing the whole deal, the helmet, the…he's like he thinks she's in a bicycle race…he's actually in a race! It wasn't just casual; I could understand that. This is a guy that's in a bicycle race. 73 years old…all the gear…falls, breaks his leg. In the middle of our thing. Takes two weeks off. Goes back with crutches…the people from Iran say, ‘what a schmuck’. Can you believe it? No, but this is who we negotiate with.
 
Now…now, think of this. It's embarrassing! Isn’t it like embarrassing? How do you…? I swear to you…that if I'm elected president I will never go into a bicycle race. I swear –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So…but you, know one of the things that…so bothers me, it would be great to have a deal cuz nuclear is a bad, bad thing. When you talk about go…global warming, all this stuff, you know… Obama thinks the single biggest threat in the world today is global warming! –CROWD BOOWS. Okay? Can you believe it? Then they changed it to climate change, cuz the word global warming wasn't working. Then they changed it to ‘extreme weather’. You can't get hurt with extreme weather, do you agree? …it's always gonna be…there's a tornado…! …there's a little cold! …there's a wind! …it's always extreme. He said the biggest threat we have is…extreme weather. And…I say…in terms of global warming…? …the biggest threat we have is nuclear global warming, cause we have incompetent politicians. That's the biggest threat we have –CROWD APPLAUDS. Not global warming. Nuclear global one. That's the biggest threat we have. Believe me.
 
So…with Iran…believe me. If I get in…you know, I'm a person I believe in contracts, but boy…this wouldn’t barely…barely…! I will police that thing, that horrible, horrible …I buy a lot of contracts…I buy people where they go down the tubes. I buy bad contracts. I love to buy bad contracts. Then I make them good. But I'll take that contract, I will do a number of those guys…and I'm telling them upfront. We will do a number…that will make you very proud. We're gonna end up with a good deal, one way the other one. One way the other –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…before I ever to…if I win…! …in that little period, before I take office…you know what I'm gonna say…our prisoners…! …those prisoners…! …that Iran has…that should have been let go two years ago, and should have never even been prisoners! One of ‘em…one of ‘em is a prisoner because he's…a Christian! He's a Christian pastor! One's a member of the press! You have a military…! The…this is the most incredible thing! Another's a journalist…so it was three people. But then…they took another one. So now it's four. Now, secretary Kerry, and President Obama…when asked about why did we get…? …at least get our prisoners back! We got nothing! They're gonna be a rich terrorist state! They are gonna do numbers throughout the world! We're fighting them in Yemen…we're fighting them in so many different places! They didn't want to bring that up either! But when they said, ‘why didn't you get our prisoners back?’, they said, ‘we didn't want to complicate the negotiation’ –CROWD BOOWS. Think of it! Think of it! So what I said is very simple. If you had the right messenger…not Kerry, not Obama…
If you had the right messenger, that messenger…let's say it's me! –CROWD APPLAUDS. And by the way, by the way, I know the greatest negotiators in the world! And you've heard me say it. Some of them are horrible human beings. They're miserable. Disgusting people. Who cares!? –CROWD LAUGHS. Who cares!? Who cares!? They're phenomenal natural negotiators. Andy knows what I'm talking about. These people are so tough, and so ruthless, and so brilliant…now the Ford deal is too easy, I just handle it, no problem –CROWD LAUGHS. I don't wanna waste anybody's time… that's to it.
 
But I know the toughest guys in the world! …toughest, smartest…negotiate…I know people that are great. I know people that are overrated, won't use them. I know people that you never heard of that are better than all of them. I know the toughest guys…and the smartest guys in the world! Carl Icahn called me. Carl Icahn’s a great guy. Very successful. If I put Carl Icahn in charge of… trade with China! Believe me! Believe me! We’d do great. And you know…believe me! …instead of the people that we have that a political hacks. You know who's negotiating for us? Political hacks! Political hacks!
 
I asked for some numbers today, before I came here. I said, ‘what's the United States trade deficit with China, Japan and Mexico?’. Now listen to these numbers: with China last year, we had a trade deficit of 343 billion dollars. 343 billion! That's gone on for many years! You ever have a business, it's no good…what do you do? You close it up. You start all over. You forget it! 343 billion! With Japan we’re doing much better. It's only sixty-seven billion. I call it that ‘we're losing’. Okay? Trade deficit: sixty-seven billion dollars! They send us so much…we send them…practically nothing. Now here's the beauty…Mexico. So Mexico…again, I love the people of Mexico. I respect the leaders. But they're too sharp! They're too good! So everyone said, ‘they won't build the wall’, because I said I'm gonna build a wall and Mexico's gonna pay for it. Right? –CROWD APPLAUDS. Right? And all of these weak politicians…they're weak people! They're weak, weak people! ‘They won't pay for it’ –MR. TRUMP PLAYS OUT THE PRESS AND PEOPLE ON THE MEDIA-… I watch it on television. The idiots like Karl Rove… ‘he said Mexico's gonna pay for the wall…’. –IN A MOCKING TONE. THE CROWD LAUGHS. George Will, ‘Mexico won't pay…!’. Okay, think of this: first of all, there's gonna be a wall. This isn't one of those deals where they jump over it. They go to Home Depot, buy a ladder, jump over the wall. This is a serious…this is a Trump wall –CROWD CHEERS. This is a Trump wall. This is a real wall –CROWD APPALUDS.
 
You know…you know, the Great Wall of China is 13,000 miles! It was built 2,000 years ago. It was actually built over a long period of time, but it started sort of 2,000…it’s a…long time. So…13,000 miles! What we're talking about is 2,000 miles, but less...maybe a thousand. Cuz you'll have a lot of…territory…where you don't need it! You have natural barricades. You have some walls that were built that are okay…although I'd like ‘em to be nice and uniform, you know, if they've put my name on I, -I- want a gorgeous wall –CROWD LAUGHS. You know? The Trump wall, oh, will that be a beautiful wall! –CROWD LAUGHS.  That's why I have to make it beautiful! Cuz someday, when I'm gone…they're gonna name that wall after Trump. I think!
 
But I listen to these guys…and they say…how stupid…! I listen to ‘em today…some politicians said, ‘Trump will never be able to afford the wall…we can't afford it. It’s too expensive…’. It’s peanuts! It’s peanuts! It's nothing,  and Mexico's gonna pay! Now here's the Mexico number, right? Let's say the wall costs four billion, you know, they say 10 billion. That means four billion, if you know what you're doing –CROWD LAUGHS. And the four billion will be much bigger, much better, much stronger than the 10 billion. Believe me! Oh, do I know how to build! Greatest. One of the greatest. So let's say it costs four or five billion…our trade deficit with Mexico is 53 billion dollars! So four or five billion is peanuts! It’s peanuts! Mexico is going to pay…and they'll be happy. They'll be happy! –CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. Now, look…if you have some dumb politician negotiating, I agree they won't pay. But when you have Trump negotiating for you, on your behalf…they will pay! Hundred-percent…! –CROWD APPLAUDS. Hundred-percent…! And they'll be so happy!
 
You know, the world rips us off and they all hate us! China hates us! Russia hates us! Mexico hates us! Japan hates us! Everybody hates us…and they're all winning! I'll make it so we do well with these countries, and…we'll actually have a better relationship! I have the biggest bank of…in the world! …from China…in my buildings! They just renewed their lease. I said, ‘really!?’. MR. TRUMP PLAYS THE CHINESE TENANTS-…. ‘oh, yes. We respect you so much’. They just renew their lease for 10 years! They will…do what we want…and we will do great.
 
A- couple of other things: Obamacare, we're gonna repeal it, we're gonna replace it, we're gonna get something great –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Repeal it, replace it, get something great! We're gonna repeal it, we're gonna replace it…you know benefits from Obamacare? Remember the five billion dollar website…? …five billion, it didn't work…still doesn't work! But you know who benefits…? …any insurance guys in this group here…? –MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE FIRST ROW-…good, then I can…
You know who benefits? The insurance guys! The insurance companies make a fortune with Obamacare! In the meantime your premiums are going up by thirty, forty, fifty percent…your deductibles…you have to die and then you probably still won't get anything…it's no good!

We will have a plan that will be so good…we're gonna get rid of the borders…do you know the phony…ehm…boundaries. You know they have…I have thousands and thousands of people work…! …all over the place! And if I'm in New York I get like one bid! And if I'm in New Jersey, or if I'm in Texas…no matter where…you get like very little competition –MEMBER IN THE AUDIENCE CALLS OUT ‘CALL IT DONALCARE!’. MR. TRUMP PAYS THE PARTICIPANT MIND AND RESPONDS-… ‘thank you, we'll call it Donaldcare’. Good –CROWD APPLAUDS. I haven't thought of that.
 
Because the insurance companies…would rather have a monopoly on New York, or Texas, or wherever they may be…then be able to bid all over the United States. We will…do something really good with health care…where, it'll be better for the people…and cheaper for the United States! You know, the United States and 16 Obamacare kicks in. Big-league! Big league! And it's got…you talk about a deficit…? …we're gonna have one of the great deficits of all time, and it's because of…a lot of things. It's because of in competence, but it's also because of Obamacare.
 
One other thing, and I have to say this: our military…is going to be so strong, and so powerful…-CROWD CHEERS, STANDS UP AND APPLAUDS. MR. TRUMP TURNS AROUND TO THANK THE AUDIENCE. THE CROWD STARTS CHANTING ‘U.S.A!’. Our military…is going to be so strong, and so…powerful, and so modern…the technology, we have it. But…it's not working. We're not allowed to use it. Nobody has any fear. Not that I wanna use it. I wanna make it so strong, so powerful, that we never have to use it. We never have to use it! –CROWD CHEERS.
 
We send our best equipment…to our chicken allies…! …the people over there, one shot’s fired in the air, and they give it up to the enemy. And they have better stuff than we do…! …they have all the brand new stuff: The Humvees, with the armor plates. 2300 Humvees! 2300! I thought I misread it! How could you have 2300 armor-plated…the best! If our wounded warriors, who –ARE- the best people in the world. If our wounded warriors…. –CROWD APPLAUDS-…if our wounded warriors were in those Humvees, they wouldn't have lost their arms, and their legs, and had such a tough life. These are the greatest people!
 
So we're gonna make our military so strong, and so powerful, and so great…and the world is gonna respect us again. And we're gonna take care of our Vets… -CROWD CHEERS-…because our vets are treated like third-class citizens – CROWD STANDS UP AND APPLAUDS. Our vets are our greatest people. And we're gonna take care of our Vets.

So just in closing…I just gonna thank all of the people in Dallas -CROWD CHEERS. You're amazing people, and it really is…I mean…it's…it's fun to be here…it's fun to…there’s such energy in this room. And…I will tell you…that we are gonna fight hard…we're gonna negotiate tough, we're gonna do fantastically well. We're gonna put our people back to work, we're gonna get rid of all these ridiculous…everything it’s so…it's so bad…! We're gonna get rid of the regulations that are just destroying us all of...you can't breathe! …you cannot breathe –CROWD CHEERS.
 
You are going to be…if I'm elected president…so proud of your country again –CROWD CHEERS AND STANDS UP. You're gonna remember this evening, and you're gonna say to your children, and you're gonna say to anybody else, that we were part of a movement to take back our country… -CROWD CHEERS-…and we will make…America…great…again…! Thank you!
