Beautiful!
 
We love you!
 
We love you. Birmingham, we love you!
 
Thank you.
 
Thank you very much everybody! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And we're gonna have a lot of fun, and then I'm getting you out to those football games…to have this many people! I'm getting you out of here! I'm getting you out! Maybe I'll go watch one of them with you. I'll tell you, I’d love that. And you do have great teams. You do have great football players, and great team. So it is.
 
So…a lot of things have happened over the last week. A lot of bad things actually! We have a president who is representing us poorly. Very, very poorly –CROWD CHEERS. Horribly, actually. We have…a situation where ISIS has raised its ugly head again. And we gotta chop off that head like they're chopping off the heads of our people –CROWD CHEERS. So terrible! You know, I…I did a lot of tweeting. At Real Donald Trump…-MR. TRUMP REFERS TO HIS TWITTER ACCOUNT, @RealDonaldTrump-…right? At Real Donald Trump -@RealDonaldTrump-...and... I said, ‘you can't call these dopes…’, they’re dopes! They've got IQs that are low, believe me! ‘You can't call the leader of the dopes a “mastermind”. You can’t do it!’.
 
I've been watching for a week, and now I will tell you, I really was that big on ISIS. I said the same thing and another speech recently, got a lot of play. Because it's, you know, they're taking the internet and using it better than our country, and certainly our politicians, and our executives. They using it better than anybody. And…our youth is susceptible. In all fairness, they’re susceptible. And you have these kids coming home…and they say, ‘mom, and dad, did you see the mastermind…?’. The mastermind… he’s a moron! That he…by the way, he is also dead! Which is great. Which is great –CROWD APPLAUDS. And I tweeted out, I said, ‘don't call him “mastermind”, you're building him up! Your building up their image!’.
 
You know, we have a president that doesn't know anything about what we're talking about. He doesn't know –CROWD CHEERS. In Iran he calls the head ‘the supreme leader’. Yes, ‘the supreme leader’. I promise you I will never call him the supreme leader –CROWD CHEERS. I promise. I'll call him ‘hey you, hey, how you doing. Everything good? How you doing? Everything good babe? Guess what, we're gonna renegotiate your deal. We're gonna make it much better. We're gonna renegotiate that sucker big-league. And you're gonna give us back those prisoners before I take office. Okay…? You’re gonna give us back…’–CROWD CHEERS. ‘…you're going to give them back! You're giving them back!’. How about that deal? How about that?
 
I mean, here we have Kerry, who doesn't have a clue. Weak, ineffective, begging…to make a deal! And we had all the cards! We had a hundred and fifty billion dollars to negotiate with! And what happens? What happens? He's a loser! –CROWD LAUGHS. He is! No, he just said. He's a loser. You know, that’s such a descriptive term. I…some of the press said I use it too much. But there's just no better word. You know, I went to an Ivy League college, I know a lot of words, but somehow ‘loser’ is so nice. It's a good word. It’s just a good word. No, no, only in describing certain people. Of course that's a lot of people! It's a lot of people.
 
But, you look a hundred and fifty billion dollars…going to a terrorist nation. They got everything they wanted…how about the self-inspection? They self-inspect. How about that one? Okay? When they don't self-inspect, we have 24 hours…meaning…they get 24 hours. That shoots into 24 days. But the 24 hours could go on forever…before we get the approval…to start the clock ticking…for the 24 days. But even if it didn't…24 days! … ‘we think you're doing something wrong’. MR. TRUMP PLAYS OUT THE IRANIANS-… ‘oh, okay, come back in 24 days for sure’. By that time, I have it broom clean. I used to clean garages for my father. And I always used to say ‘broom clean’. And my father would say to me, ‘son I want that garage in mint condition’, he used to use the term mint condition, just a term he used. That meant ‘immaculate!’. Not like what we do nowadays! Things aren't so immaculate! But…-MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS DESPERATELY SOMETHING INAUDIBLE. MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES IT-… ‘thank you. Thank you…I don’t know…’ –CROWD LAUGHS AS IT WAS COMPLETELY UNCOMPREHENSIBLE-… ‘well I don't know, I think he said something good’. ‘Thank you’.
 
But what happens…what we need…! …what we need is…we need leadership so badly. We can be so great again! –CROWD CHEERS. We left that, we've scuffed that…we're robbed! With…… what…we’re robbed! You look at the Iran deal. You look at…and, by the way, speaking of Iran Deal. The prisoners! So you say, ‘why don't we have them back?’. And they said, ‘because we didn't want to complicate the deal’. WOULD- you believe it? So we have four…men…over there, right now in the worst prison. The worst! I met one of them, a Christian, a pastor! I met his wife, twice. So lovely. Cannot understand! Nobody speaks to her, nobody calls her, and nobody talks about to her about the negotiation. And that should have been done early. Did you ever see a deal takes so long as this deal? We're giving them all of this money…look at that people…are still pouring in. You're so lucky to be in here, by the way! …–CROWD CHEERS-…look at you, you’re so lucky! –MR. TRUMP TURNS AROUND TO GREET AND THE CROWD CHEERS HARDER.
 
People are…people…a lot of people outside! By the way…! …if you want, we can wait about an hour, and get everybody in. You wanna do that!?’ –CROWD CALLS OUT ‘NO!’-…I didn't think sp. Oh, they're gonna be angry. They'll be pouring in and by the time the last one gets in, I’ll be saying, goodbye. Make America great again! Goodbye darling!’, and they’ll be pouring…-CROWD CHEERS.
 
But…but…that deal, the Iran deal, took so long to do. And one of the big magazines called me up and said, ‘tell me how long should have taken’. I said, ‘a day. Maybe if you're doing poorly two days. But give it a week!’. We've been negotiating this thing for years! For years! There's my man over there! Look at that book! Hold that book high! Trump, The Art of the Deal! Say he read it! You should have negotiated for us! Get me that book over there fellows…hey, do…? –MR. TRUMP GIVES INSTRUCTIONS TO THE CROWD AND HIS STAFF-… ‘Mark, get me that book bring that book over here. Bring that book over here. Mark! Come on Mark! Bring it over here! Get me that book, I'll sign it! I mean, any guy…that much…we gotta do it. Come here!’. We should send a copy to Obama and to Kerry –CROWD CHEERS. Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Come here! Come here! Give me that book!
 
Who the hell signs books during his speech but me? Isn’t this crazy? Speaking about books, go out and get Crippled America. Believe it or not…first of all, is doing great. But…it is…I think really… Look, The Art of the Deal was the hardest I've ever worked on a book. Then I had a lot of bestsellers right after that. But I didn't work so hard. This is the second hardest I've ever worked in a book. There it is! –MR. TRUMP SPOTS THE BOOK IN THE CROWD. The second hardest. And it talks about… Crippled America. I mean it talks about…the problems…of our country. But it also talks about how to fix the problems. You know, I don't like critics. I never liked…even movie critics, theater critics. They complain, but they can't do it themselves. You know, I don't like people that complain. So we talk about…fixing our country. ‘Here George…-MR. TRUMP RETURNS THE BOOK AND ADDRESSES THE OWNERS-… ‘thank you fellas, that's very nice’. Oh, this group from Alabama, I mean…’ –CROWD CHEERS. No, can you imagine!? The guy’s over there, ‘Hi Mr. Trump, would you sign the book?’. I'm making the speech, would you…? But the answer is yes. That's what happens when you're aggressive! He's an aggressive guy! ‘Are you looking for a job? …’-MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES THE OWNER OF THE BOOK-‘…I'll give you a job’ –CROWD CHEERS.
So the Iran deal took so long. We didn't get anything. We lost every point. Went on forever. During intermissions…they’d be celebrating in the streets of Iran. The negotiators…and…as…Obama would say, ‘the Supreme Leader’ would stand up at the podium, and essentially say that the United States has really, really, really stupid leaders. You know, if I were doing a deal, and somebody said the kind of things that they said…about Kerry, and Obama, and all of us! Because sadly, we're into the category…I mean, they're representing us. I would never go back to the table! You don't go back!
 
Now, in the case of the prisoners, they should have said, ‘fellas, we want the prisoners. Release them now…’, this was three years ago…. ‘release them now…you don't need them. You don't want them; your people don't even know you have them…release the prisoners now. It'll be good for the deal. It'll set a good tone. Really good tone. Release them now’. They'll say, ‘no, we won’t to do that’, and I'll say, ‘bye-bye…! And I’ll leave the room. I'll then double up or triple up the sanctions. I guarantee you within 48 hours…they will call…and they will say, ‘we are going to release the prisoners, but we're not doing it because of a threat…’, you know, ‘yes, okay…’ oh, oh, oh –ONOMATOPOEIC SOUND AND GESTURE MEANING DISBELIEF AND FATIGUE-… ‘we're not doing it because of a threat…but we will release the prisoners’, and I’ll say, ‘thank you very much. Now we start negotiating’. Then I say, ‘listen, one thing. You're not going to get…is we're not gonna give you a hundred and fifty billion dollars. We’re not giving it’. Too much money. Too much money. Too much money –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
You know, they're supplying many of the weapons…that are being used against our young…men and women over there, you know that, right’ The road bombs…many of the…the…weapons that are being used are supplied by Iran. That was when they were poor. Now they’re rich as hell. How stupid can we be? How stupid can we be!? And that's just a…look, that's just one of many.
 
Okay, so here's the story. I've been coming out, and I've been talking for…five months. And…ha, I hate to say it: I'm a politician. Can you believe it!? –CROWD LAUGHS. I have very little respect for politicians…I mean, some…fine. But I have almost no respect. And now I'm a politician! And…numbers just came out last…ehm…do we have any politicians in the room? Raise your hand. We don't. Yeah, there are some in the back. Well I'm excluding them, they're fantastic leaders. I don't know who the hell they are, but…-CROWD LAUGHS-…I'm excluding them. They're great. They're fabulous. Anybody in the room…that's a politician, I think you're fantastic. But outside of this room….? They don't have it folks. They don't have. They don't have it.
 
So…I've been doing this since…June. And…the pundits all said, -IN A MOCKING TONE…‘oh, he'll never run…he’ll never run’. And then I run. Then they said, ‘oh…’. They get paid money I mean, somebody's guy’s gonna have half a million dollars…-VIDEO/AUDIO GETS CUT-…that you watch on the various…networks, cable and otherwise. They're wrong all the time. Well, with me, they've been wrong all the time. I'm driving them nuts. They don't know what to do! They don't know what to do! –CROWD CHERS. No, no, they don't know what to do! I am driving them bonkers! Guys like George Will, I swear…you know, he looks smart because he has those little glasses. If you take the glasses away from him, he's a dummy –CROWD LAUGHS. He needs those glasses. Those little spectacles. You know, I've seen that before. Hey, who else used glasses…? Perry! –MR. TRUMP REFERS TO REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE MR. RICK PERRY FROM TEXAS. Perry used glasses! Right!? They all went after me. Everyone. But…but these pundits…!
 
So they said, ‘he'll never run!’…with such surety, you know, they were so sure! So I run. Then they said, ‘he'll never file form A!’. That's where you sign your life away. It's only one page. ‘He'll never file form A’. I filed form A. Now they said, ‘well, we got problems at…’…-CROWD LAUGHS.
Then they said, ‘well, he'll never file his financials!’. Cause I'm a private company. Nobody knew…how well I was doing. You know, they said, ‘he won't file financials cause maybe…he's not as rich as people think’. So what happened…I turned out at a…almost a hundred pages of financials…the biggest one after me was like…three –CROWD LAUGHS. It's true! I mean…forever! I'm not talking about…not talking about…cause had almost a hundred pages. I built an unbelievable company!
 
So they said, ‘he'll never file…and he does file…’ …you know, you're entitled to massive delay. You can delay it forever. So that nobody gets to see. You…request a delay. ‘So if he does file…he’ll request a delay. And the delay will take forever! We'll never get this year's financials! And I said, ‘yeah, but…I built a great company’. So not only did I not ask. We have 30 days, and you can have 45 days, another 45 days, then you can request special…I could have taken it long after the election. The election! But they said, ‘he’ll ask for delays’. So not only didn’t I ask for delays…I filed, and open it up early. Early! Less than 30 days –CROWD CHEERS. And I had a team of lawyers and accountants you wouldn't believe. And we filed this massive statement. And it showed that are much bigger. Much richer. Much, much…and I’m only…by the way, the reason I'm saying this…because…they'll…only show that part. They're not gonna show what I’m gonna say…–CROWD LAUGHS. Much bigger, much stronger, much richer…the company's phenomenal. Some of the great assets of the world: Manhattan, Doral in Miami, hundreds of acres, Turnberry in Scotland, one of the great places of the world; home of the Open Championship, one of the…probably the most important golf tournament.
 
You know, all great assets. Tremendous cash. Very low debt. Very low debt. And…I said…in fact I told somebody, ‘if I don't run I’m gonna file anyway, cause I wanna brag about my state’. Still I was gonna file it anyway! People don't know! You know, these guys said, ‘he'll never file…maybe he’s not as rich…’. So it turned out much richer, much, much! By 2-3 times…what they thought! And even a better company! So now they said, ‘oh, we have a problem’.
 
The reason I tell you the last part…is because that's the kind of thinking…that's the kind of mentality…whether we like it…what's in there, or not…that's the kind of thinking, and mentality…that we need in our country! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We need it! We need that! I didn't wanna do this! You know, I have a…a nice life! I live nicely. I have a wonderful family…! …did anybody see Barbara Walters, last night!? –CROWD CHEERS. Yeah! How nice!? How nice was she? Barbara Walters did a big special, one-hour special last night, on my family, and myself…and it was really nice. So…it was really great…it was really good. It was really great. Now, they do it because it's gonna get good ratings, I have to tell you. They don't do it for my health. But she was great, and she's a legend. She's probably the greatest in the history of television. Greatest…female, that…greatest woman, and in my opinion…of the history of television.
 
So she called. She said, we would like to do a whole big profile. A one-hour profile’. So those of you that didn't get…I don't know how the hell you see it, it's already over, right? But you'll see it, will be around. But it was great. I think it was good. Really very successful.
 
So what happens…so what happens is we really…need…that ability. Because we have to take our country back. We have to bring our jobs back. We have to bring trade back. We have to repeal Obamacare and we have to replace it…-CROWD CHEERS-…with something great. We have to! We have to! We have to establish borders, and we have to build a wall! We have to build the wall! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We have to! And we will! And it'll be a great wall! It will be a great wall! –CROWD APPLAUDS AND STARTS CHANTING ‘WE WANT TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY.
 
And…and…believe it. I get the same reaction…all over the place. And you know, this is a wall…who builds better than me? –CROWD CHEERS. You know, we have to rebuild…nobody –MR. TRUMP REFERS TO BUILDING THE WALL-…we have to rebuild the infrastructure of our country. Our roads are falling apart. Our bridges…sixty-nine percent of them are dangerous. Can you believe…? You're driving over a bridge, you're innocently driving, they're collapsing!
 
You know, in China…they build bridges that make the George Washington Bridge look like peanuts, and building them all over the place! They build them like the peanuts! We don't do this anymore! We don't do anything! We're building a bridge into San Francisco bay. You know who's building it? The Chinese are building a bridge for us! –CROWD BOOS. No, think of it! With massive cost overruns! Massive! They don't know what to do! And this is what's happening! So we're bringing our country back!
 
So what's happening is…until the attack in Paris…I was doing great. I was talking about trade, because we're being ripped by China, Japan, Mexico…everybody! And you've all heard that! You know Ford is going there. You know Nabisco is leaving Chicago. They're moving, their big factory is moving. Their plant, where they make Oreos…that I will never eat again! I'll never eat them again! I'm not eating them anymore! Which is good for a lot of reasons! But I'm not eating Oreos! No, Oreos! Think of it: Nabisco…is moving their big plant out of Chicago, and into Mexico. How is that good for us!? It's not good for us! Folks, I went to the best school. I'm trained. And you don't have to go to the best! You don't have to go to high school to know! It's not good! It's not good for us! And too many things1 So I’d be talking about trade. I love talking about trade. I will be…the greatest jobs president…that God ever created. That I can tell you…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. That I can tell you. The best…and every poll says it.
 
You know, when they poll…CNN, the one with the cameras all over the place. There…look at all those cameras back there…-MR. TRUMP POINTS TO THE BACK-…do you believe it!?
You know, these other guys…they come up and they make a speech. First of all, instead of having 10,000 people they’d have what? 40 or 50. On a football day they might have none! But they have very few. They would have none of these guys back there, look at all those guys –MR. TRUMP POINTS AGAIN TO THE BACK WHERE THE CAMERAS ARE. Highly-paid…highly-paid, guys…of which I think twenty-five percent of them a good people, okay? –CROWD LAAUGHS. But look at all…no, it’s true! Look at them!
 
But, so…many…things…happen! And when they make a speech, nobody wants…nobody cares. So they go around and make the same speech. Over, and over, and over, and over! And nobody cares! And it's a different group of thirty to a hundred people. I made a speech…in…New Hampshire, recently. I had 4,500 people, only determined…by the size of the room! I had 4,500 people…Jeb Bush…! –CROWD BOOS. MR. TRUMP PRETENDS HE FALLS ASLEEP-… ‘no, no, don't be mean!’. Jeb Bush…was right down the road…! He got a hundred and twenty-one people. And you know what? My audience was energized…and his audience was like… on Sominex –A MEDICINE; ANTIHISTAMINE. THE CROWD LAUGHS-…his audience was sleeping. We're doing great! It's the same…it's the message!
 
But here's what I've been focused on. I've been focused on trade…because I don't wanna be ripped off anymore. And somebody…we have somebody from Time Magazine here. They want…you know; I was on the cover recently. Now they're here again. So I assume they're considering me for man of the year. But it's you people! I assume! I don't know! –CROWD APPLAUDS. I don't know! I say there's no way they give it to me! They can't! Because…mentally they can't. They just can’t. They can't do it. Even if I deserve it, they can't do it.
 
You know, when I had The Apprentice, it was the hottest show. That first season, second season, and everybody said, ‘oh, Trump is gonna get the Emmy. It's easy. He's gonna get the Emmy for The Apprentice. And by the way, they renewed for two more years, and I said, ‘I'm sorry, I'm not doing it…I am…I love The Apprentice, but I can't do it’. But everybody said I was getting The Apprentice. And we went to the Emmy Awards, my wife and I. And they said, ‘ladies and gentlemen, the next is for reality television. It's been a spectacular show! He's a spectacular host! It's been an amazing year! And I stood up and started walking…because I think…there was nobody even close! –CROWD LAUGHS. And they said, ‘the winner…’. I had already stood up! I felt like a schmuck! –CROWD LAUGHS. They said, ‘the winner is…Amazing Race!’. I said, ‘Amazing Race…that's a terrible! ...it’s nothing! …it's nothing! –CROWD LAUGHS. ‘I killed it!’. But that's the way life is. Same thing with Time Magazine. So who knows, maybe they'll surprise us. I know one thing, they'll sell a lot more magazines and that could play into their thing, but we’ll see –CROWD CHEERS.
 
So…so I've been going around. And…I've been having the biggest crowds, by far! Not…Bernie. By the way, Bernie's crowds are taking big leagues. Nobody cares anymore –CROWD BOOS. No, Bernie Sanders was getting…he was second, I was, by far, first. You know, in Mobile, Alabama, I mean, we have a lot of people here! –CROWD CHEERS. But in Mobile we had 35,000 people! But in all fairness, we didn't have football games all over the place.
 
But Bernie Sanders…he blew it…when during the first debate, he looked at Hillary and he said, ‘oh, the emails…it’s wonderful. It's fine’. So he got a 20 second sound bite. He got some applause, and guess what!? He's gone! And now…it's a whole different thing, which is good, because…honestly? Even as a candidate, he’d be so easy to beat. She's gonna be easy to beat –MR. TRUMP REFERS TO MRS. HILLARY CLINTON.
 
But I’ll tell you…cause number one, she doesn't have the strength, and she doesn't have the stamina. And we need a president…with unbelievable strength, and stamina. And Hillary does not have it-CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. She doesn't have…the strength…or the stamina! –CROWD CHEERS. And Bernie Sanders…I mean h…he's over! He's over!
 
And how about the other guy, O'Malley? His credentials! He's the mayor of Baltimore! Okay? He did a great job in Baltimore! He's the man…then he became the governor. He was a third-rate governor, but he was the mayor of Baltimore, ‘now I'm gonna decide to run for president…’. That's what we have! These are professional politicians. All they're good at is running for office! That's all they're good at! They run, they win, they lose, they run. They just run! That's all they do! I'm against it right now! And I have to tell you. Some of the people that are running against I like, and respect. Some of them like and respect. Some of them should…not be there. Some of them should not be there. You wanna know who? –CROWD CALLS OUT ‘YES!’. ‘No’ –MR. TRUMP LAUGHS. I don't wanna do that. I wanna be nice. I said to myself, ‘I'm gonna be nice to them. You know, I said…I told a lot of the people backstage. I met some of the really great people backstage. We were taking pictures, have a lot of fun. I said, ‘I'm going to be nice today! I'm not…!’ …I said it! I said it! I'm not…going to…call Jeb Bush low-energy. I'm not gonna repeat it –CROWD LAUGHS. I'm not gonna say that Marco Rubio is the lightweight. I said I’m not doing it! I will not do it!
 
I said that…I will not say that ben Carson…last week, -IT- was a bad week. Because his top person…and his top consultant…said he's incapable of learning about foreign policy! That's a bad thing! –CROWD LAUGHS. And I won't say…that…he said in his book…that he…suffers…from pathological disease. I said I’m not gonna say it! So I'm not saying it! And I'm not saying that he went after…his mother, and wanted to hit her over the head with a hammer! Who does this? Who does this!?
And then he tried to stab somebody, but…the belt! The belt got in the way! Oh yeah! –MR. TRUMP MOCKS MR. CARSON THROUGH HIS TONE. THE CROWD LAUGHS. And the knife fell to the ground broken. And that he hit his friend in the face with a padlock. So I'm not saying any of those things about any of those people! Is that ok? –CROWD CALLS OUT ‘YES!’’. All right!? I mean, explain. What are we doing!?
 
So in the polls…in the polls…I got by far number one or the leadership. By far! By far…number one on the economy. It was so…leadership and the economy were so off the charts. Like…by many…well, CNN did it, and there are other people. CNN's back there. Is that right CNN!? Look, I got these cameras, if I'm telling a lie I got problems. You'll be reading about it. Come on!
So I killed them on leadership! I killed him on the economy! Killed him on the military…and who's going to protect from ISIS!? Oh, I'll be so good for you! I'm gonna make our military so powerful! So strong! So strong! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I'm gonna make it…so incredibly powerful and strong, that we’ll never have to use it! Nobody's gonna mess with us folks! They're toying with us now. Do you know how cheap it is!? It’s like you don't pick the fight with the guy that you're not going to win. Right!? Unless you're stupid. Now, there are stupid people around. They do that. We're gonna be so powerful…you know how cheap that is!? As opposed to fighting wars all the time when nobody respects us? We have a president that nobody respects. We have generals…they’re always on television! –MR. TRUMP REPRODUCES NOW A TALK A GENERAL GOT WITH THE PRESS ON TELEVISION RECENTLY-… ‘General I’d like to ask how are we doing with ISIS?’ ‘Not good!’-CROWD LAUGHS SINCE TRUMP ALSO MEMES MOCKING FACES-… ‘they're very tough. They’re a very tough enemy. They're very, very tough enemy. Not well!’. ‘Well, general, can we beat them!?’. ‘I don't know!’. Let me tell you, my generals are gonna kick ass. They're not going on television –CROWD CHEERS. They’re not going on television.
 
You know, I’m a big fan…General George Patton –CROWD CHEERS. Now, he was a horrible human being. He was profane. Used terrible language. He had a lot of problems. But he was one hell of a general. That's what I want folks! I don't want this stuff anymore! I don't want it! –CROWD CHEERS. I'm a big fan also of General Douglas MacArthur. Great. Very opposite. He was a man with tremendous style. The corncob pipe, the hi-hat, the whole thing. He’d get out of the plane, like…the enemy was like…to him? …they were like garbage, ‘get them out of my way!’…because he had a tremendous ego. We don't have that! We have…we have…I said ‘lightweight’ people? We have a bunch of lightweights! We have people that shouldn't be doing this. We have people that shouldn't be leading us. We have people…and you know what? In our services I will find the general! I will find the Admiral! I will find the guys. We have them! We have general MacArthur! We have general Patton!  You gotta know how to figure people! We put people because…we had one general, who is really tough! I won't say his name. But he got fired! Because he was very, very nasty. He wasn't politically correct. And everybody said he was up as general. And they use foul language all the time. And he got fired because they interviewed him, and he was cursing all over the magazine…’bring him back’ –MR. TRUMP LAUGHS AFTER HEARING A PERSON YELL THAT AND RESPONDS WHILE GIGGLING-… ‘and we might’. Hey, -A- guys says, ‘bring him back’. It's very good! But that's what we want!
 
It's like…again, I can be more politically correct than anybody that lives on Fifth Avenue or Park Avenue, much of which I've built, by the way. You know, look, I have a better education…than almost all of these people!
 
You know, I…I saw the other day…I think her name is Cokie Roberts, what a lightweight! She was on Morning Joe…Morning Joe was saying how well Trump is doing in the polls, the polls, the polls, -NOW MR. TRUMP PLAYS HER OUT MOCKINGLY-... ‘well, I don’t know, I don’t …’. And then I'm saying to myself, ‘you know…they talk about these people…as intellectuals, how much more of an intellectual. I’m much smarter than them!’. I mean, other people that are running aren't! I went to better schools, generally! I went to the best schools! So I went to…I did well. But I’m just smarter… and I have…in my opinion…a much higher aptitude! But then I say…I hear them say… ‘well, you know, the intellectual elite…of Washington’. There is no intellectual…they're not even smart people, most of them! They're not even smart people! –CROWD CHEERS. And the reason I don't believe too much in…political correctness, cause it takes too long! we don't have time to be politically correct! we gotta kick ass and get our country going again! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We have to do it!
 
So…and we're doing well. So last night, late, a great poll came out. Reuters. Can do better, right? Reuters, that’s big stuff! They don't know me! In fact, they usually write bad stuff about me. They don't even like me. Right? So you know, Reuters. They all write bad about me. They love to write bad. The good stuff, they don't wanna write. They say…I said, ‘what about that story?’. ‘No, no, we don't want to write that’.
 
One group…associated for us. A- guy calls…cause ‘we're doing historian for deals…and…the story is gonna be this mean’. And he writes…he writes up…we're doing a negative a story…actually, there were four deals…that weren't great, but I made a lot of money with them! That's not bad!
 
So…I said, ‘what about the good deals? …you’re gonna do them…?’. ‘No, no, we're not enjoy interested in that’. What that…? I made hundreds and…! I 500 companies! I made hundreds and hundreds…of good deals! Hundreds! Even Time Magazine! I was on the cover some months ago…and they put some bad deals. I said, ‘why do you do that? …why don't you put the good deals in?’. They don't wanna do that stuff! I don't know why! I actually think it sells better. So you make hundreds of good deals! You build up a tremendous net worth, tremendous…and they wanna write about a couple of deals that weren't so good! That I was very tough on. And I beat the banks. I beat those banks so badly, oh! They have headaches! And you know what? That's what we want! I think! And by the way, just so you understand…these bankers aren't like you know, you think of the banker…controlling the…the little…old woman's money. It’s not that way! These are vicious…sometimes…vicious…terrible people! So you gotta win!
 
So what happens is…Reuters last night comes out with a poll: ‘Trump’, 38.8 –CROWD CHEERS. Carson…who’s…honestly? He's dropping like a rock falls. I hate…you…? I…do we have any Carson fans here? Because he's dropping like a rock band. 14.7. So I'm 38.8. Now, remember…that's 38.8, we have 15 people! So how do you have 38.8 percentage!? Carson's at 14.7. Rubio…is at 10 and Cruz is at seven. So we're winning! …we're winning big in a place called Alabama! Big, big! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
Florida just came out: ‘Trump’ is 37. The sitting senator is 16, and Carson is 16. We're winning all over the country. We're winning in Ohio against Kasich -MEANING THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE JOHN KASICH, who was totally overrated, by the way. We're winning all over… do I hear somebody over there? –CROWD STARTS BOOING AFTER SOME PROTESTERS SEEM TO RIOT-…you know, you have one guy over there shouting. We have thousands of people, and you’ll read about him tomorrow. They'll say, ‘Oh! The…the room…was…had…a…a picket!’, all right…you…get him the hell out of here! Will you, please? Get him out of here! Throw him out!
 
No, we had it the other day. I got criticized. We had it the other night. I had a lot of people, and one guy who was seriously…obese. He complained when I mentioned that…food stamps…we have a lot of people on food stamps. And the guy went crazy! And they –THE PRESS-said that wasn't politically correct. Who cares!? We all have a way problem…yeah, you can get him out! Get him out! Get him the hell out of here! –CROWD CHEERS. Get him out of here! Get out! Get out get him out of here! –CROWD APPLAUDS.
 
Did you see Bernie Sanders? See, he was politically correct. Two young women came up to the podium, they took over his microphone. I promise you that's not gonna happen with me. I promise. Never gonna happen. Not gonna happen. Can't let that stuff happen.
 
So what's happened then is…I've been talking about trade, I’ve been talking about all of the different things, much of what you heard, and then a week ago we had the horrible incident, in Paris. And you know what? My whole speech changed. And now…it's about security. It's about borders. It's about protection. It's about a lot of things! I'll take care…-CROWD CHEERS-…I'll take care of trade. I can do that out of my back pocket! I'll take care of trade! China will not be taken advantage of us any longer –CROWD CHEERS. Japan will not be taken advantage. We have a 400-billion-dollar trade balance each year with China. Not gonna happen.
But what has happened is…the conversation has changed. And people are now very much involved with ISIS and Al-Qaeda, and all of the things that were going through! And we're gonna do things that are very smart. And we…what happened really...people said, I wonder will this affect…Trump. Cause you…number one, they thought maybe this would affect me. And you know what, it has affected me. We've gone way up! We've gone way up! –CROWD CHEERS. Because people know that I’m gonna protect them! I'm gonna protect them at the borders! I don't want the people from Syria coming in, because we don't know who they are! –CROWD CHEERS. We don't know who they are! And I don't want them coming in!
 
So…we are…in a position now…where…when we completed…our country is gonna be greater than it's ever been. We have to move quickly. We have to move quickly. We can't afford to lose another election. We can afford weak…people! I think I’m a very nice person. I think…a lot of people think that. People that know me think it. I do. I pride myself on it. But this time it's not about nice! This is about real, real competence, cause we have to bring our country back! We have to bring it back! –CROWD CHEERS.
 
Today…in the New York Times, they had a report, on the front page, was false! Really false! That was today! Hey, you wanna see something funny? Look at those cameras! –MR. TRUMP POINTS TO THE BACK, WHERE THEY ARE-…they’re turned around. They’re following the few people that are being thrown out. That would…here's the story –CROWD BOOS. No, no. No, no, watch this. Look at those bloodsuckers back there –MEANING THE CAMERAS. They're turned around, and they're following the people, right? Because you have a small group of people that made some noise, they’ re being thrown out on their ass, right? So it’s…-CROWD CHEERS-…no but listen. Listen. But look at those cameras! So they turned around. And yet…! …whenever I speak, when we have crowds like this all over the place! Much bigger than this…! …you know we’re confined! The fire…the fire guy, your fire guy said, ‘we can't have any more people in the room! It wasn't designed for this many people!’.
 
So we have crowds….and my wife’d go home. And I’d say, ‘how was everything?’. Because it's on CNN, it's on…so many different places. It's on…OAN, right? OAN is very good. They’re good. It's on all of them…FOX and everything. So I’d say, ‘did you see the crowd?’. She goes, ‘no’. I say, ‘what do you mean no?’. ‘No, they never showed the crowd. They always have it fixed on your face. It's always fixed in your face’. They don't wanna show the crowd…because they're dishonest…people! And…I'm telling you…-CROWD CHEERS-…no, they're dishonest people! The media is so dishonest…! Like the story on the front page of the New York Times today! Front page! I love being on the front page, and I'm from New York…! New York Times front page! But it's a false story. And Breitbart…wrote it correctly, and now…The Times are suffering. But they write false stuff! And…that had to do with…whether or not we register people! Okay_ And I want those people coming in from Syria…that Obama wants to let in…that people are fighting, but the Republicans so far have been very ineffective with their fighting!
 
They've been…you know, it's funny. We finally win the Senate. We have the house…nothing happens! It's always the same! We don't have the victories! We don't have the victory! So what happens is…the rightful stories…and in this case they got caught on it…by a lot of people, because it…I mean, it…you know, you can only go so much, okay? But these guys tell me, ‘no, no, we have to have it fixed’, because they can't…I say, ‘why?’. And then sometimes also…in Oklahoma…we had 20,000 people recently, in a field! It was supposed to be at a hotel. Then the convention center…we had to go to a field! Because there were so many people! We had 20,000 people in Oklahoma! Good football place too, by the way –CROWD CHEERS. Pretty tough football place there.
 
So what happens…I said, ‘fan the place!’. They refused to do it! The camera stays on me! I said, ‘fan them!’. They refused to…every one of them! They refused to fan! Everyone! And now I’m looking, and there's a few people that were shouting…that got thrown out of here…and I see all the cameras are turned. So he can turn the cameras! These are just lying people! They’re bad people! The press is really bad! –CROWD CHEERS. Fan the cameras over here, fellas! Fan the cameras! Show them! –MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES THE CAMERA STAFF. Look! They don't do it! They don't do it! They don't do it! They're very dishonest people! Say…I tell you, you don't know! They don't do it! You'll go home, you're watching television, you wouldn't know if there were 10 people in this room, or 10,000 people in this look. They don't do it. Fan the room, fellas, go ahead. Fan the room! Look, they don't do it! They don't do it…because they're really dishonest people!
 
Now, two minutes ago those cameras were turned all the way to the back of the room! …where the other people belong. They’re were terrible people. They’re in the back, and fanning and they're showing it. It's disgusting. Be ashamed of yourselves, fellas. Be ashamed of yourselves –CROWD CHEERS.
 
So now…now…what happens is…yesterday…some…little…wise guy…he looked like he was 12 years, got a camera. I’m signing autographs. And…I'm going like…he's asking me questions; talking about the wall, ‘we’re gonna build a wall, we're gonna build this, we’re gonna…and I'm signing autographs, and there's music playing in the background…and I’m leaving, bing bing bing…signing…and this little wise guy sitting there. And he's asking me questions. And it's not even important…then I said, ‘who you with?’. He said ‘NBC’. Once he said that, I didn't bother answering anymore, because I know. Although they did to me on Saturday Night Live and they were good. How about the other guys? How about the other guys…? …they now want… ‘equal time’! Okay? Like…like Pataki. Pataki wants ‘equal time’, not gonna help, he's got zero! They could give him 12 Saturday Night Lives, an hour and a half a night. Not gonna have any impact. He'll still have zero. But that's what they want.
 
So the database! I said, ‘yeah, that's all right, fine’. But they also said ‘the wall’, and I said ‘the wall’. And I was referring to ‘the wall’. But database is okay. And watch list is okay. And surveillance is okay. If you don't mind…I wanna be…I wanna surveil. I want surveillance…of these people that are coming in! The Trojan horse! I wanna know…who the hell they are! –CROWD CHEERS. And the biggest story yesterday…the biggest! …was ‘Trump wants database on Muslims!’. I said, ‘what's all happening here!?’. And I spoke to the reporter of The Times. And I think I made it clear. And I also said…number one, you couldn't hear very well, because it's like walking over here, you're not gonna be able…but regardless of that! Doesn't matter. But I do want database for those people coming in. But I also insist on the wall, and it was all fine! All of a sudden I end up with some stories! I say, ‘what are you talking about!?’.
 
So here's the story, just said it clear: I want surveillance…of these people. I want surveillance if we have to…and I don't care. I want…are you ready for this folks!? Are you ready!? Oh, they're –MEANING THE PRESS-…gonna make it such a big deal! They're gonna make it so big! … ‘he said something so politically incorrect!’ That's why we're going to hell…because we're so politically incorrect! Such a big deal! Such a big deal! I want surveillance of certain mosques. Okay? If that's okay –CROWD CHEERS. I want surveillance. And you know what? We've had it before, and we'll have it again.
 
Hey, I watched…when the World Trade Center…came tumbling down. And I watched…in Jersey City, New Jersey…where thousands and thousands of people…! …were cheering as that building was coming down! –CROWD BOOWS. Thousands of people were cheering! So something's going on…we gotta find out what it is! I do want surveillance! I will absolutely take database on the people coming in…from Syria…! If we can't stop it…! But we're going to! And if I win…I've made it known. If I win…they're going back. We can’t have them. They're going back –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We can’t have them. We can’t have them.
 
You see what happened, and you see it very clearly…a few nut jobs, in Paris, okay? A few total nuts lowlifes. The guy with the dirty hat. They say they got him. I hope they got him. The dike…he's wearing a filthy dirty hat? That was the one they were calling for five days ‘the mastermind’, right? ‘The mastermind’. He's no ‘mastermind’. He's…he’s a…he's a low-life. But they got him. But there's others out there. We have to get them! And we have to use surveillance! Wait…! We have to use surveillance! We have to be vigilant. And you know, the greatest thing is…everybody in this room…everybody outside of this room. We have tremendous eyes and ears! When somebody's next to you…in a house, or an apartment, you could sort of see there's something going wrong. Inform your local police. They're incredible people, the police. They're incredible people! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They're incredible people!
 
You don't have to call Washington, when you're trying to figure out ‘who the hell do I call?’. I just met a lot of your police, right now, when I came off the plane. These are incredible tough cookies! They wanna do a great job! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Give them back their power, and you're gonna to see a lot of good things happen! And sure…! …and by the way, you're always gonna have a bad incident, and a bad apple. You have that in any business, no matter what. You're gonna have things! But we need vigilance! When you see something going on at the next house. At the next apartment. When you see certain people walking in and out all day…carrying things. Inform your local police! Whether it's Birmingham, or wherever it might be! They will take over. They know what to do! They'll call Washington! They'll get the guys! Those guys don't have a chance! But…the eyes and ears…we have millions, and millions, and millions…of eyes and ears! You can solve the problem! There's nobody like the people! There's nobody like the people!
 
So…we are going to have surveillance. We are going to have…and it's…the most interesting thing that happened…is all of the talk…about the work…because that was the other thing, in the polls. That ‘Trump’ is by far, by far, the best on border security! So that's why…when Paris happened…the attack in Paris. That's why I went up! Because people said, ‘he's the only one that says it like it is!’. So I went up. And believe me, you're gonna be really secure. You're gonna be more secure than even you know. And your fans, okay? You're gonna be secure! We're not playing games. We're not playing games. We will not be playing games.
 
When I brought up…illegal immigration…it was like…like a bomb dropped. Nobody was talking about the subject. I brought it up. And…Rush Limbaugh, good guy. He said, ‘nobody…’, good guy, right? –CROWD CHEERS. Good guy. Good guy. Really a fair guy! And he says the truth! Maybe that's cause he likes me, I don't know. But Rush said, ‘nobody has ever taken incoming…nobody! …like Donald Trump!’. And for two weeks I did! It was unbelievable. I said, ‘it's just gonna be…I can't do this for six seven months…!’. But then it died down. Because people started seeing I was right. And then I became the darling. And then you had a lot of bad things happen.
 
You had Kate, in San Francisco, get shot in the back, by a guy that came over five times. Probably pushed over. ‘Get out of here, we don't wanna take care of you. Let the dummies from the United States take care of you’. And he shot Kate, beautiful Kate, from San Francisco in the back! Holding her father's hands, looking out onto the water. And she dropped…and the father, and the family…will never be the same. Great family. And then you had Jamil, whose son is…so great. Senior and Junior. And the father…is the apple of the father's eye. Great football player. Getting ready to go to college. HE- was gonna go on a scholarship. Never had a trouble in his life. Walking home from the deli where he bought himself and his father a sandwich. Called his father, said, ‘papa, I'll be home in 3, 4 minutes’. And then the father heard a gunshot outside. Heard it from the house. And he knew immediately there was a problem. And he ran out, and his son…was laying on the street, almost dead, with bullet holes in his head…with his hands blown off, cause he was lying down going like this –MR. TRUMP MEANS THE KID WAS COVERING HIS FACE WITH HIS HANDS-…and his hands were blown off. Because it was a 45 –THE TYPE OF GUN. And then you have 3, 4 weeks ago…you had the woman, a veteran. 66-year old. Veteran. Raped, sodomized and killed, by an illegal immigrant. Raped, sodomized, and killed. 66 years old. And so many more.
 
And people said, ‘you know, Trump is right!’. Then you have the drug problem. Our cities are infested with drugs. Our youth is going…you should see, New Hampshire? Has a heroin problem…the likes of which nobody can even understand. It's coming from an area that we can stop. Because it's destroying our cities, it's destroying…most importantly, it’s destroying our youth. It’s destroying our future. And we're gonna stop it. We’re gonna stop it –CROWD CHERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So all of the other things that I usually talk about…is now…but they're all very important, don't get me wrong. Obamacare, we mentioned. Trade we mentioned. All of these things, are all very important. Jobs. Jobs, we mentioned. I'm gonna create so many jobs, we mentioned. But let me just tell you. What we're going to do…is we're going to be vigilant at our borders. And we're not letting people come into our country…unless they come in legally. They've gotta come in legally –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They're gonna come in legally or they're not coming in at all.
 
And we're not gonna be the stupids anymore. We’re ‘the stupids’ We're known as ‘the stupids’. With The Anchor Babies. A person has a baby. She walks across a line, she has the baby in the United States. Now we have the baby, Fourteenth Amendment. Except for one thing. They didn't read the Fourteenth Amendment right. Because it doesn't say that! It doesn't say that! It doesn't say that! –CROWD CHEERS. And for years I've been hearing it! But for years I've been building buildings, and creating jobs. I've created tens of thousands of jobs! I've been doing jobs! So I never really gave it…that much thought. But now that I’m doing this, I wanna make our country so great. Now that…I’m doing this…I said, ‘it can't be right!’.
 
Now, if somebody has a baby in Mexico, they walk across the border…firs of all, they couldn’t walk across the border, okay? They’d be out of there so fast! But if they did…and you said, ‘oh, my baby is now a citizen of Mexico’, they would laugh at you and they’ll throw you the hell out like a dog! –CROWD LAUGHS. And by the way, that's sure with almost every country. But here you have a baby, and now…we have to take care of that person, for 85 years, or however long that is. But it doesn't read that way! Then they said, oh, you need a constitutional amendment…which will take years and years…! …to get’…you don't need it. You need a simple act of Congress. And in my opinion, you don't even need that. Because if they come in illegally…! …they're not supposed to be having a baby here! Okay? So I don't even think you need that –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And we're talking about hundreds of thousands of people a year! So here's what we're gonna do. If I win, a lot of good things are gonna happen. First of all, we're gonna win so much! We're gonna win. We're gonna win! Some…I sometimes joke…- TWO PEOPLE IN THE CROWD, APPARENTLY, CHANT ALONG ‘WHEN WE WIN’ MEANING TRUMP SHOULD REPLACE ‘IF’ FOR ‘WHEN’. MR. TRUMP LAUGHS-… ‘haha, I like these people much better’. He says, ‘”when” we win’.
 
We are going to…have so much victory. And a joke about it. I say, ‘you can have wins, and wins, and wins…you're gonna get sick of winning!’. And then I say,  ‘I can't joke, because you never get sick of winning’, right? –CROWD LAUGHS. Right? Your football teams…if your football team goes…undefeated every year and every year, you'd never get tired of it. Right? Never! Never get tired of it!
 
But we're gonna have great victories again. We don't win anymore as a country! We don't win! We lose on everything! We lose with ISIS…we lose with everything! We lose with trade! We lose with healthcare! Have you seen the premiums on Obamacare!? Up 35, 45, 55 percent! It's a disaster! And now they're saying, it's a disaster…and now they're saying…we have to go back to Congress, because in 17 it all explodes. Ay, ay, ay…! …whoever is gonna be president, is not gonna be easy. But I'll solve the problem, don’t worry. But it's not working –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…just to finish off. And I give you my word. I am gonna work so hard…I'm self-funding…this campaign. I’m the only one. I'm the only. I'm the only one! I don't know that's a big deal to a lot of people. But I could have…-CROWD APPLAUDS-…I could have funds. You know, these Super PACs are a total scam. The Super PACs have all this money. They'll do negative ads on me all over the place. It’s a lot of move before elections, so I said, ‘I'm super, by the time I end up winning, what happens is it's too late. The election’s over. So what do I get!?
 
The Super PACs are…a scam. They have total control over the candidates. They do whatever the person that puts the money off wants. If a man owns a company in China…and he gives money to a super PAC…Jeb Bush was over, as an example. I don’t wanna keep using his name, but he's so…he's so easy! He's so easy! –CROWD CHEERS. No, Jeb Bush was over in…ehm…Germany, or his people are over in Germany, trying to get…
Well, then you'll see, ‘a German company…has gotten a big approval from the United States Congress…’. That's what happens! Folks, folks, I know the lobbyists! They've worked for me! Nobody knows the game better than I do. I don't want anything. I work for you. I work for you! I work for you! –CROWD CHEERS. I don't want anything! I don't want anything!
 
We're gonna do what's right for the country! We're not gonna let Mexico take our car business, which by the way, they're gonna become the car capital of the world pretty soon. Ford is building a massive plant there. Others are building massive plants. We don't even fight…we don't even fight!
 
You have corporate inversions, which by the way, the other candidates don't even know what it is. But essentially companies are leaving the United States, and going…to other lands…to other countries, and they're dropping thousands! …and tens of thousands of jobs! And now, it's starting to get bad. And under my tax plan, where I'm cutting everybody's taxes big-league, big-league –CROWD CHEERS. And we're cutting corporate taxes! We’re the highest tax…nation in the world! Under my plan, we’ll be one of the lowest. And we're gonna be a dynamic economy again. We're gonna be dynamic –CROWD CHEERS.
 
And we're gonna bring back those trillions of dollars! Trillions! …of dollars. Trillions…! …that companies can't get back…that they can't get it back. They can't get it back! Because the politicians they all agree it should come back, but they can't make a deal. Because this gridlock in Washington. So we're gonna bring it back. And that money is gonna be put to work here. And we're gonna do it big.
 
So…what you're seeing…and a friend of mine called me up, he said, ‘it’s unbelievable what's happening’. What you're seeing is a movement. This isn't about me. What you're seeing…is a movement. No matter where I go…it's the same thing! It's the same love! There’s like love in the room! It’s love in the room! Look at all the other people's, it’s love in the room…and…-CROWD CHEERS.
 
The American Dream…and I say it! The American Dream is dead. But we're gonna make it bigger, and better, and stronger, than ever before! And we are going to make…America…great again! Thank you. I love you! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
Thank you.
 
Thank you.
 
Thank you everybody.
 
I love you. We're gonna get it done.
 
Thank you.
