That is so…come on, get right next to me…–MR. TRUMP TALKS TO THE LADY NEXT TO HIM.
 
Uh…John Wayne would be very, very proud of John. I think! Maybe he would say, “what are you doing!?” …–MR TRUMP LAUGHS. THE CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
But John Wayne would be. And…and I'll tell you what. I've been a longtime fan. And this all began when I came here, and I was so fascinated, and I really didn't wanna leave, there’s so much to see. And I said, “who put this all together?”. And it was put together by great love. With yourself, your directors…everybody; and…I…I see the kind of effort. And little did I know that you'd be endorsing me, and supporting me. So…I really appreciate it. This is such an honor today. You see…what happens with the press, this is…an amazing accumulation of press. We have…three events today, and…uh…this is very important to me, because of…John…John and and his whole legacy. I met him one time…! And…it made such an impression. When you talk about bigger than life, right? There aren't too many people bigger than life…; come to think of…who do we have that's bigger than life today? I won't use some of the…names of the actors, but…not the same thing. Not the same thing.

So…it's an honor to be here. It's a tremendous honor to have your support, and endorsement and we really, very much appreciate it. Thank you very much…–MR. TRUMP AND THE POLITICIAN KISS. THE CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
Okay. Would…the…anybody else like to speak? Yeah! Sure! …–APPARENTLY A MEMBER IN THE CROWD, OFF CAMERA, INTERVENES.  Oh, good! Thank you! Thank you very much! I appreciate it.
 
Okay. Press…? Any…? any questions? Yes, Jeremy?

MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.38.47:
 
We have a…a tremendous…event planned in a little while…that'll be our third stop. This is our first stop. And again, I just have to say, I was such a fan of John Wayne. And…the one meeting I had with him was just an amazing meeting. And…uh…it was toward the end of his life; he…he was just an incredible guy. He said some things to me that we're very special. And…uh…so this is a very great honor. That'll be…that'll be a very big event, I think you'll be…very impressed.

MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.39.18:

I'm a big fan of Sarah Palin, yes. That I won't say. I am a big fan of Sarah Palin, but I'm not saying who it is. Yes.
 
A MEMBER OF THE PRESS MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.39.22:

Well we'll talk about it later, I think. We'll talk about that later. But…uh…it's a very big event…planned and I think everyone's gonna be very impressed. And…nobody knows who it is, and…that's fine.
 
Yes, sir.
 
A MEMBER OF THE PRESS MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.39.52:

Well I am a real conservative, and Russia has been terrific to me. And Russia has really been…uh…amazing to me. And I actually read what he said, and he's…he's still amazing to me. So…I appreciate everything Russia's done for me, a hundred percent.
 
A MEMBER OF THE PRESS MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.40.11:
 
Well there is, and at first I didn't…feel that necessarily…they'd come together like that, but when you think of it, John Wayne represented strength…; he represented power…; he represented what the people are looking today, cause we have exactly the opposite from John Wayne, right now in this country. And he represented real strength, and an inner strength, that you don't see very often. And…that's why, with this endorsement, it meant so much to me. And that's why…we actually went very far out of our way…to come and be with the family, and the group…; and the director…; and…to be right here, because they've done such an incredible job.
 
I mean, this really all started…; I walked around, and…we were here; and…and, we got here a little bit early, and I looked at everything; I said, “they've done an incredible job!”. And I would imagine they…will get a lot of people coming here especially now, with all of you, characters. You’re gonna get a lot of…you’re gonna have a lot of people…; probably…there'll be a rush to the front door tomorrow. You'll say, “what happened!?”. But he deserves it. John Wayne, and the family! They deserve it.
 
Yes.
A MEMBER OF THE PRESS MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.41.13:
 
Well, I think endorsements are…uh…depending on who very valuable…? I've…never been a huge fan of endorsements…it's the candidate, mostly. And I've seen very important people endorse…others and, you know, and nothing happened. But I think…you know, having a John Wayne, and John Wayne family endorsement means a lot. Because it does mean that strength that you don't see. Uh…and I think you'll be impressed with the endorsement we get later on!
 
Excuse me?
A MEMBER OF THE PRESS MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.41.41:
 
I think so! It could. It could be. I think it could very well in…you know, result in votes. We're doing very well. The…polls just came out in South Carolina, where…as you so, I went up…four points; and Cruz went down three. And most of the others sort of went down. And…we're doing really well in South Carolina, that just came out. I guess is a very big pole coming up today in New Hampshire, that I hear is gonna be released fairly soon. I don't know what the results are, but…I just can tell you I'm doing very well in New Hampshire from every…every indication.
 
A MEMBER OF THE PRESS MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.42.17:

Well, I think I feel very good about my ground game. We have a great group of people. Where's Chuck? Chuck! Come here Chuck! Get over here Chuck! I'm gonna put all the pressure on Chuck. Come here Chuck! The question is, “how do we feel about our ground game”? I…can it Chuck answer that question, please? Cause if he doesn't do good, “Chuck you’re fired!” –MR. TRUMP AND THE CROWDS LAUGH. Get up here! Get up!
 
MR. CHUCK INTERVENES.
MR. TRUMP TAKES THE FLOOR BACK. Minute 00.44.11:

…better that we like you people. Believe me…–CROWD LAUGHS. He was strong and he was honest. You know, we like that better. And one of the things I like about Chuck…he doesn't wanna bother with the press, because…he gets so misrepresented; and so do we; and…he doesn't wanna bother with the press. But you know, cause…I've seen things that they've…that he said, and then they totally misrepresent. I think we have a great…ground game. I think we're gonna have a great shot at winning Iowa. I hope we win Iowa. We’re gonna give to it…our best. Uh…we're…even in the polls, were up in some of the polls. Sarah, in your poll…was substantially up on CNN, with 33 to 20. But nobody ever talks about that poll. Chuck! They never talk about the CNN poll, right? No! Even CNN doesn't talk. They don't report their own poll. CNN does a poll, they spend a fortune on it, and they don't talk about it, because the numbers were too good. And so we're reading other polls, and CNN has nothing to do with…; so you'll have to figure that one out Sarah, okay? I think I have it figured out pretty well, but…anyway.
 
Yes!
 
A MEMBER OF THE PRESS MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.45.17:
 
Mmm…my goal is just to win, if we can. And…uh…I think we're gonna do very well in Iowa. We have a great relationship…; with evangelicals; with the Tea Party, with everybody in Iowa. And I think we're gonna do really well in Iowa. And…you know, we…I guess a lot of other people think we're gonna do really well. It's a question will whether we win it or not. I hope we win it. It would be a lot easier for me to say, “well, I just wanna do well”. I'd really like to win.
 
And don't forget: Iowa hasn't picked that winner for 16 years. If they pick somebody other than me, they're gonna pick another loser. Okay? …–CROWD LAUGHS. So I wanna see Iowa win. And it's…I think it's very important that Iowa picks the…the right person this time. And…you know, they've had a rough…they've had a rough 16 years. But…we are gonna win. You know, we're beating Hillary in many of the recent polls…; substantially, in some. And we're gonna win.
 
We're gonna bring in states like New York…that are never in play for Republicans; Pennsylvania, and Virginia; Ohio, we're gonna win; We're going to win Florida; we're gonna win a lot of states! West Virginia I hear is like through the roof for ‘Trump’. They just came out with a polls. Uh…but…uh, we're gonna bring a lot of states in that a…traditional…politician is never gonna even…go to…to visit. And we're gonna win. I think we have a really good chance as an example of…New York State. So we'll see what happens.
 
A MEMBER OF THE PRESS MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.46.40:
 
Yes. Yeah. I did very well…I did very well with the Taj Mahal. Made a lot of money. All right. Who else!?
A MEMBER OF THE PRESS MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.46.51:
 
 
Oh, I always like to threaten to sue reporters, cause I think they're among the most dishonest people I've ever dealt with in my life. So…usually…and sometimes I do actually sue. No, reporters…who you with, by the way?
 
THE JOURNALIST RESPONDS.
MR. TRUMP TAKES BACK THE FLOOR. Minute 00.47.06:
 
Oh, good. Oh, great. Great. I don't recognize you. No I threaten to sue reporters only when they're dishonest. Actually, there are some reporters I have great respect for. Hard to believe.
 
A MEMBER OF THE PRESS MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.47.15:
 
Yeah, I was a little bit inaccurate. But it's irrelevant. I did very well with it, as you probably noticed: Yes, go ahead.
 
A MEMBER OF THE PRESS MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.47.25:
 
Well, it's a shame what's happening in Flint, Michigan. A thing like that shouldn't happen. But…again, I don't wanna comment on that. They've got a very difficult problem. And I know the governor's got a very…difficult time going. But…you know, I shouldn't be commenting on Flint.
 
Yes.
 
A MEMBER OF THE PRESS MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.47.50:
 
 
Well, no…; at some point I will…; uh…we had a tremendous event yesterday, Liberty. We had the…highest attendance they've ever had. In fact, Dr. Falwell just announced that, a little while ago. He just announced it was the highest…attendance they've ever had an event. And you said, nobody…nobody says that. You know, it's interesting; Bernie Sanders had like three thousand people the other day in an event, and then they said, “oh, what a big crowd!”. I had…fourteen, or fifteen thousand at a different event, nobody talked about the size of my crowd. It's an incredible thing, that goes on here.
 
But…uh…no, it wasn't appropriate to mention him; and then in the second part of the event, it wasn't really appropriate. But at the right…but people understand; and people understand.
 
A MEMBER OF THE PRESS MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.48.29:
 
No, no. No, not at all, because I was in front of a very large crowd. And I didn't wanna speak about other people. But that was an amazing event yesterday at Liberty and I was really happy with it. And…Dr. Falwell, just announced, a little while ago, is the biggest attendance they've ever had in the history of Liberty University. So I'm very happy with that.
 
Sarah! Did you have another one!?
 
A MEMBER OF THE PRESS/OR MS. SARAH PALIN MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.48.59:
 
Well, I think I have a great temperament. In fact, if you notice, I'm the only one that didn't wanna go into…Iraq, okay? You know, people are always surprised. “Trump didn’t wanna go” …and I’m the most militaristic of any of them. (I) Feel stronger about the military than anybody. But if you go back to REUTERS in 2004, or even before that, you'll see “Trump did wanna go into Iraq”, because I said it's gonna totally destabilize the Middle East. And I'm absolutely right.
 
So when you talk about temperament…Ted is got a…rough temperament. I don't know, you can't say…you know, you can't call people liars on the Senate floor…when they’re…your…leader. It's not a good thing to do if you wanna sort of curry favor, and get the positive votes later on down. So…Ted is worried about his temperament, and people are talking about his temperament. I haven't talked about his temperament! But he's gotta be careful…because…his temperament is…you know, has been questioned a lot.
 
Oh, I think I'd work great. In fact I will say this: because we're leading…so…big, in virtually every poll; and after the debate performance, where…I think you will say, almost everybody said, ‘Trump won’…is that a correct statement Sarah? A strong debate, okay. Well, most people said I won it. I think you believe that too.
 
But I will say that…we have been contacted by…so-called establishment types. Maybe that's a bad thing! That could be a bad sign! I'm not sure I'm happy about it. But we've been complemented, and… by so many people. And we've been contacted by the establishment types. They all wanna know how do they get involved with the campaign. They're giving up on their candidates. And…how do they get it. And I mean, these are real establishment people; that…I've known when I was a member of the establishment, and…meaning a giver; a big donor. But…they are contacting us, Cory…–MR. TRUMP LOOKS TO HIS RIGHT SIDE–…I think we can say that very honestly. They're contacting us, left and right, about…joining the campaign. And these are serious establishment types.
 
I also said, just now Cory, I'm not sure that's a good thing or a bad thing, frankly. And…I don't even care that much. It doesn't matter. We wanna just…very simple: make…America…great…again. So I'll see you folks in a little while. And I’ll see you specifically at our third meeting; where…we're gonna have a good time. Thank you.
 
And we love John Wayne! We love John Wayne! And we love his family, equally! Right!? Equally! And thank you very much.
 
Thank you.
