Iowa! We love Iowa! Unbelievable! Unbelievable!
 
So…we're gonna do things…that are…so amazing! It's like this all over, no matter what. I just got back…Spencer! Do you know Spencer!? …–CROWD YELLS OUT ‘YES!’AND APPLAUDS. We love Spencer. Unbelievable people. Same reception. It's…ehm…incredible what's happening. And it's a movement. And I tell it to everybody; it is a movement! There is something happening. We're taking our country back. We're gonna get rid of the stupid people…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We have…leaders…that don't have a clue. They're grossly incompetent. I refuse to say that they're stupid, but they're stupid. We have people…–CROWD CHEERS–…we have people that are leading us in a direction…and it can't go on any longer, folks. It can’t. And that's why I'm doing this. I'm doing this…–CROWD CHEERS. We are going to make America great again. Believe me. We are going to make America great again! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
First of all, this is a record for this building. I hear it's a fairly new building in all fairness, but…we set records at every building, but this is a record. We have a tremendous group of people in here.
 
Now, CNN did you ever hear of CNN? Yes! …–CROWD BOOS AND MR. TRUMP JOINS THEM. And…this week we like them…–CROWD LAUGHS–…because…a poll came out yesterday, you saw that. So…we're at 36…–PERCENT. THE CROWD CHEERS–…we have a 20-point lead over second place. And a lot of guys are in three, and four, and two, and one, and…why are they running!? …–CROWD LAUGHS. Taking up a lot of time. I guess Bush is at three. Bush is doing well, he's at three. He’s got a lot of energy…–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
So you know, almost…almost…–MR. TRUMP HEARS NOW A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELL ‘BUILD THE WALL’ AND ACKNOWLEDGES IT–… ‘build the wall’, we're gonna build the wall, don’t worry…we're gonna build the wall…–CROWD CHEERS, APPLAUDS AND CHANTS ‘BUILD THAT WALL!’ REPEATEDLY.
 
We're gonna build a lot of things. We're gonna build the wall. We're gonna…ehm…rebuild our infrastructure. By the way, the wall…? …Mexico…will…be paying…for the wall. Believe me Believe me! Believe me! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So…we'll talk about the wall, we'll talk about security. You know, it's changed a little bit. Because…over the first period of time I talked about trade, I talked about China, I talked about how we're being ripped off by everybody in the world. And we are being ripped…we are being ripped off like nobody has ever…
You know, what China has done to us…is the greatest theft in the history of the world. It really is. If you look at the jobs, the money, the base…! Everything! They've taken it! And you know what? I love the Chinese. I love the country…everything is fine. They…I sell them apartments for fortunes…–CROWD LAUGHS–…right? The biggest bank…the biggest bank in the world is a Chinese bank. They’re my tenants…–CROWD LAUGHS. They pay me rent every single month! I don't have to worry about the rent not coming in. Right? –CROWD LAUGHS.
 
But…their leaders…are too smart. They're too sharp. Our leaders don't…have anything going. We don't use our right people. We have the greatest business people in the world. Car…Carl Icahn is a friend of Mine. He’s a great success, and a great negotiator. He's endorsed me. Many of these…folks have endorsed me. Even the business leaders that hate me, in some cases, have endorsed me, because they know I'm good at what I do…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So it’s simple. And honestly…? …and they wanna see our country be great again. They wanna see our country come back. You know? They're proud of our country too. And they feel foolish when they see the kind of deals…
 
You look at…as an example, Japan. They're sending us cars. Thousands and thousands! And then millions of cars! The biggest ships I've ever seen! …go to Los Angeles, go to the harbor! You'll see the biggest ships you've ever seen! The cars pouring off! You know what we send them? Practically nothing! It's a one-way street. We owe Japan 1.5 trillion dollars! It's like a magic show. They take our jobs; they take our money; and we owe them money. You say, ‘how does that work?’…–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
Now, China, we owe the same thing. It's very interesting…we owe them 1.5 trillion! Not billion! We owe them 1.5 trillion. Okay. So they take our…everything. But we're gonna change it around. So with China…almost…400…think of it! Almost 400 billion dollars a year…in trade imbalance. That means…400 billion dollars…into it…! We can't go on like this! Japan, in trade imbalance…75 billion dollars a year! Mexico! 45…billion dollars a year…and that doesn't include…drugs…going back and forth! …–CROWD LAUGHS. You can probably triple it, –IF–you wanna know the truth.
 
Did you ever see the wall they have…? …it was in one of the magazines, where the walls like this… –MR. TRUMP MARKS A HEIGHT IN THE AIR. And they built a ramp! …to go over the wall! A little ramp…okay? I'm really good at building, I wanna tell you…–CROWD LAUGHS. They build it…we're gonna have a wall.
 
By the way, that wall…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…I gotta make it good. It's gonna be really big, gonna be really powerful! You know why, right? Because…it's gonna be so beautiful, I have to make it artistically beautiful. It's gonna be the most beautiful wall…much nicer…! …the Great Wall of China is two…think of it: 2,000 years old! Right? He knows, he’s a student…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEONE OFF CAMERA. 2,000 years old. It's 13,000 miles long. Ours!? We actually need a little more than a thousand. It’s two thousand miles, but we need a little, cause we have a lot of natural barriers.
 
So we can't do a thousand…but…2,000 years ago…a much bigger wall, it won't be bigger than mine, by the way. Mine's big…–CROWD LAUGHS. In fact, I'll make sure that mine is, at least, one foot higher than the Great Wall of China…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…right? One feet.
 
I do that with buildings. I do that with buildings. You know, in Chicago I built a great building, and it was gonna be the tallest building in it…–CROWD CHEERS–…right? Right? Oh yeah! I didn't even think about it! Yeah! A lot of you people use that building. It's a great building. Right on the river…beautiful, best location. I went in, I built it…in bad times! I got it built, came out, wonderful. But you know, that was gonna be the tallest building…and then the World Trade Center head. And I said, ‘you know what? Maybe it's not such a good thing. Maybe we'll make it…’, so I made it a little bit shorter! …–CROWD LAUGHS. I actually did! First time of my life, I made something shorter…–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
After the World Trade Center, which was…done…by disgusting…people. You know, when they attacked…Pearl Harbor, at least they attacked…the military. Right? The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. They attacked, at least now…it was a sneak attack. It was disgusting, and…but at least they were attacking military! The World Trade Center they attack civilians having breakfast. They attacked people and office buildings. They attacked people in a hotel. And I'll tell you what folks: we're gonna be so vigilant! We're gonna be so careful We're gonna be so tough, and so mean, and so nasty if we have to be…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. That shit is not gonna happen anymore, I’ll tell you. Won’t happen... –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. THEN CHANTS ‘TRUMP’ REPEATEDLY. Not gonna happen…any…more!
 
So, you know, I wrote a book in two thousand, the America We Deserve, and…I…I…it was, you know, good book. But it doesn't do as well as my business. My business books are all bestsellers! I mean, they do great! When I wrote about political in two thousand…although the new one…! …right? What's it called!? Crippled America…Crippled…oh! Look at all those books! It’s okay. But…but I wrote a book, The America We Deserve, and people viewed me more of a…businessman, but I've always been very political, and I've always watched…did I…and I wrote about Osama bin Laden in that book. That was two years before The World Trade Center, before he knocked The World Trade Center down! But I wrote about him in a book! And a couple of the political people that are back there, but a couple of the political people said, ‘he actually wrote about this guy before he knocked down The World Trade Center!’. I've been watching, okay!? I do watch! And we have to be very, very vigilant…
 
I noticed that now, you know, when I talked about the mosques …and look, I have great respect…for religion. But some really bad things are happening! Okay!? And I took a little heat! Well, I always take heat! And then ultimately, they come around, they say, ‘you know, he was right’. Think of it! When I announced …–CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS–…right?
 
When I announced I talked about illegal immigration, oh, did I get heat! Rush Limbaugh said, ‘he has taken more incoming than any human being I've ever seen!’. And then he doubled down, He said, ‘no, it's actually much worse than I said’. And then you had Kate, in San Francisco. And you had Jameel. And you had a woman, a 66-year veteran, 66-year-old…veteran…raped, recently, by…an illegal immigrant, in California…–CROWD BOOS. And…raped, sodomized, and killed. And you know what, folks? It turned out to be a much bigger problem than I was even talking about. And it…really, I mean, you know, I don't know what took us to this level…where we…where we…are right now. And we're all in it together. But…it's been an amazing thing. But, one of the things was illegal immigration. And if I didn't bring that up, I don't even think you'd be talking about it. I really don’t. I don't think you'd be talking about…illegal immigration.
 
And now I watch these characters that I'm running against. Some are nice…some I like, but they're never gonna be able to do what Trump does …–CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. They never will. They never will. They're never gonna. I'm never gonna do it.
 
So…so what happens, and…you know, I told us that all the time. It…takes…guts…to run for president! It really does. Especially…you know, I've heard all my life…if you're a very successful person, you can't run for political office, but especially…you can't run for president…and I fully understand it! And one of the things I found…is the people…and by the way, the polls have found! …the people…that are behind me, are the most loyal people there are. In politics! In politics, it's amazing! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But…the people that are backing me, and they've done studies. I guess we…have…like…by far…! …the highest. Like…in all fairness, I like Ben Carson, he is a nice guy. But did you see the way they deserted him!?
 
He’s…by the way, as long as they deserted, they’ve come on over to ours, right? …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, but they deserted him! And they desert these other guys! This guy, Kasich, from Ohio, I'm beating him in the polls in Ohio…–CROWD BOOS. He goes out he does what…you know, he does an ad…so wrong…! It was such an incorrect ad. But he doesn't an ad…and it's terrible! He'll take a little…phrase here, a little phrase there…I said, ‘why…I wonder why they’re doing that’. Because he's going…tank…he's tanked. Everybody that's attacked me…and he just tanked, by the way. Everybody that's attacked me has tanked. Wouldn't it be great…if I were the head of the country…and people wanna do harm to us…and they keep tanking, because that’s what’s gonna do…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. That’s what’s gonna happen! Think of it! Think of it! Governor Perry of Texas…nice guy! I mean, I’m taking to him, I don’t know much but he’s a nice guy…I don’t know him much, but his nice. And he couldn’t be nicer. And…all of a sudden he starts attacking me. He announces he’s doing a news conference. He’s…speaking…he does a speech for him. He goes…from like…6…to…nothing! And leaves the race! …–CROWD LAUGHS. No, I…say him…bad things. I talked about his IQ…–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
Remember I said he has to pass an IQ test…to go on the stage? He said…and I talked about his glasses…he wears glasses…and that man is wearing glasses, but ‘I can see you're smart’…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT A PERSON AND ADDRESSES THEM SPECIFICALLY. THE CROWD LAUGHS. He wears glasses because he wants to show everybody that he's intelligent. And it just didn't work! …–CROWD LAUGHS. But what…but he was so vicious!
 
And…you know, you look at it…so he goes out, Lindsey Graham…! What about this Lindsey Graham!? …–CROWD BOOS. No, no, think of it! The attacks are unbelievable! Unbelievable! So he attacked me, we attacked him. I have to say…your governor, your next door governor, nice guy, Walker. He was gonna win, right? He was going to win. And then he…one of his people, a fundraiser, said some bad things about me. So I said, ‘thank you!’. Remember I’ve…I apologized and then I thanked him. And then I said that he's got a lot of problems…he's got a 2.2-billion-dollar deficit…nobody knew these things! And he went from 22... –PERCENT–…and was going to win down…bing! –ONOMATOPOEIC SOUND MEANING DOWNFALL–… ‘I'm going to be leaving the race…’, right? Remember?
 
And then…I mean, so many of them! Every single…! So, so far…that's why…-DID–…you ever noticed they're all saying, ‘no, we don't wanna attack Mr. Trump!’. Even the fundraisers. Like…I hate to say it, but…Marco…–MR. TRUMP REFERS TO THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE MR. MARCO RUBIO. You know Marco? So he's got a guy…–CROWD BOOS. No, no, he's got a rich fundraiser…not as rich as me, by the way. That's good thing…–CROWD LAUGHS. No, he's got a…–CROWD LAUGHS–…no he's got a billionaire, some billionaire…who's got some very bad views on things. And…he's got…right? No, he's saying he's tough on immigration, but this guy's not tough. Believe me, Marco will be controlled by this guy like you never saw. Just like a little puppet. He's gonna be controlled just like a little puppet.
 
So…Bush attacked me. And then I said he's a low-energy individual. We don't need…low-energy people. We need high energy people. We need smart people! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We need smart! We need smart, tough people. And…–CROWD STARTS CHANTING ‘WE WANT TRUMP’ REPEATEDLY. You know, I…I…I have to…say…just sit , please. It's like this all over! It's like this all over! Dallas, Texas…in three days, we fill up the Mavericks Arena. We actually filled it up in one day. I took…Mark Cuban called. He said, ‘DO–…you wanna use the Arena?’.
I said, ‘yeah’. It was Thursday!
I said, ‘when can we use it’’.
‘Monday’.
I said, ‘how many seats you have there!?’.
‘20,000!’.
 
We filled it up…immediately. I mean, long before Monday!
 
Then…they said in…Mobile, Alabama, it was unbelievable. So I took a hotel, 500 seats. The hotel called, begged, for us to leave. Because they were being…it was…crazy! So we then took the Convention Center, 10,000. They called and they said, ‘it's too many people, we can't do it!’. So we ended up taking a…football stadium, with 35,000 people…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It was…a lovefest! –CROWD APPLAUDS AND CHEERS.
 
So…in Oklahoma, we had 20,000 people. It was incredible. But all over! We go to New Hampshire…all over! It's…every…single venue is packed! I mean, the only thing that stops the size of the crowd is the size of the venue. But…New Hampshire's been unbelievable. You know, look at this! Iowa! Up in Spencer, they broke their record, their all-time record. It's been there…how long? Long time that…arena. Right? It …broke their record! And the one that had the record with a guy that played a guitar! You know, Elton John said, ‘you get the most people…of anybody in the world…that doesn't play an instrument…– CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. It's true! It’s true! Far more than Bernie Sanders ever got. But he's going down the tubes right now…–CROWD CHEERS. No, he's…he’s got…Bernie's gone down the tubes. Because Bernie wanted a nice sound bite. And the sound bite was… ‘oh no, the Hillary…’, you know, the emails, right? You want…he gave up the emails. And he got…you know, like…about four seconds worth of applause, wasn't that nice? That was the end of his campaign. Because we can't get…because what Hillary Clinton did is illegal! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. What she did is illegal! And she'll probably be let off, because the Democrats are protecting her…–CROWD BOOS. But you know what? We're gonna go after her. What she did is illegal. General Petraeus…a respected guy, a nice guy, for doing five percent of what she did…! …five percent…of what she did! …is destroyed. His life is…destroyed.
 
Many people have gone to jail for doing…a tiny fraction of what she did! So we're gonna see where it all goes. But I wanna tell you something: she's being protected, and it's a disgrace. It's a disgrace to our country! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’s a disgrace…! Remember that. All right.
 
So…one of the things that I was very proud of it…and actually, one of the…great commentators is here right now, –I– won't mention his name, cause he doesn't always treat me well. But now…he's really…being nice! Cause now he thinks we're…really…pretty much a lot. But we're not a lot! The fact is you have to go and vote. You gotta go into that caucus…It’s so…that caucus situation is so complex, and so…wild! But we love it! And one other thing! You know, they were talking about moving Iowa back…! …and putting it in the middle of the pack…well, let me just…tell you something! Let me just tell you. Ready? I win…Iowa will never be touched. You are sacred. You are sacred…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Iowa…and I'm not a politician…that talks, and talks, and they talk…and they don't mean it. If I win, Iowa is staying…right where you are. You're gonna be first. You're gonna be right where you are. And New Hampshire is staying, right where…New Hampshire is. And South Carolina is staying right where they are. You’re staying where you are folks.
 
So…you're not gonna be moved to the middle of the pack. You know, some of the people that I'm running against want to do that. And…it's not gonna happen! We are gonna keep you where you are. And…first of all, there's a great tradition! I've also developed a lot of friends, and I love this place! What…where is there more beautiful land!? Okay!? And by the way…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…by the way, I think you'll like this, cuz their headquarters…I am a huge purchaser…of John Deere equipment…is that nice? Like millions! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I think over 10 million dollars. That's a lot of money! That's a lot of tractors! Over 10 million dollars, and they like me a lot. So it's one of those like…
 
But…! …remember this, so just before we get off: the economy, ‘Trump’, fifty-five percent. I think of…the think of…what…they’re amazing. So I win the regular…thirty-six percent. Second is ‘16’. Then you go down to 14. Then you go down to 4, and 3, and okay. So that’s a big thing.
 
But…! …on the economy, they do polls…this…you know, it's funny. All the politicians go out and they hire pollsters. They spend millions on pollsters! These pollsters tell them what to say, what to look, like what to do…where to go to the bathroom…–CROWD LAUGHS. They can't move! No, it's true! They can't move without their pollsters. And the pollsters are smart. Some of them are here saying, ‘oh, this guy's brutal’. But…but they can't move! The pollsters are tough people. They get hundreds, and hundreds of thousands of dollars for doing his work! Right!? And they tell the candidate…the candidate is afraid to make a decision, right? With me…my pollster’s me. If it's right, it's right. If it's wrong, you know…you're gonna know, it's really right! It is really! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And I could afford thousands of pollsters, I don't care about pollsters! You know what I always say about pollsters? …’if they were so good, why aren't they running…?’ …why aren't they? …–CROWD CHEERS.
 
Do you remember when Bush was asked about ‘was the Iraq war good or bad?’, not so long ago? …was it good or bad? And he said, ‘ehm…it was…good! No, it was…bad!’. It took him six days before it got out the right answer! …–CROWD LAUGHS. And the same with the other candidates, frankly!
 
So…it's sort of amazing, because we're going over the polls, and I don't think I've ever said this to a group. But…they talk about pollsters. And every like four days…these guys spend millions of dollars on polls! I've learned more about myself by reading these polls…–CROWD LAUGHS It's true! ABC, Washington Post, CBS, New York Times, NBC, Wall Street Journal, and then…there's about 70 in between there! They have so…many…polls! And you learn about yourself! –NOW MR. TRUMP REPEATS HYPOTHETICAL HEADLINES IN THOSE MEDIA–… ‘we like Mr. Trump's hair. We don't like the way he dresses’. Actually, usually they don't like my hair! But they do like the way I dress…–CROWD LAUGHS. But…you learn so much! And after the first week…you know, cause…again, I believe I’ve been doing this for about five months, right? Who knew this was gonna happen!? Who the hell knew this was gonna happen!? …–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
But I said to myself, and I actually asked my people, ‘why do they hire pollsters when every week…is massive…!’. And you guys gotta see these polls! They do things…they get it for free! Why are they paying for it, right? So one of the things that came in the CNN poll…that on the economy, ‘Trump’ is 55 –PERCENT. Everyone else is like…like…nothing. When you’ve…I mean, when you have fifty-five percent! …you've fifty-five percent…with 15 people…! …who ever heard of a thing like that!? I think it's actually…probably…honestly…never happened. But we have fifty-five percent on the economy…slightly important topic, right? The other guys are down at 6, 5, 8, 9…–PERCENTAGE. On illegal immigration, I’m the king! Forty-eight…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…forty-eight percent, illegal immigration. Forty-eight percent ‘Trump’.  And the other guys are in the, you know, sixes, and threes, twos, ones, zeros…pretty bad.
 
On…the budget! A–…thing called…the budget of our nation. I'm at 51 percent. The other guys are at…nothing…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. On foreign policy, I totally dominate, and…which is a little strange. Because they said…’well…’, but I know a lot about foreign policy! I'm the one that said attack the oil three years ago! Have I been saying it for three years!? …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Attack the freaking oil! Right!? I'm saying it! Attack the oil, you dumb people! First I said, ‘you gotta attack it’, but I actually said something else! I said, exactly, attack the oil, take it, and keep it! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Right!? And I said, ‘take the money…! …which is massive…! …and which is funding ISIS! Okay!? They’re making…they’re making a million dollars a day, that we know! …that means they’re making more! ‘Take the money! And give some of it to the families…of the soldiers…that were killed in Iraq…’ …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and Afghanistan, and so on ‘.
 
Give some of the money to the Vets…that were over there! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…and…they’re the greatest people! The wounded warriors. I've gotten to know so many wounded warriors…these people…they have been so devastated. And the…they have a bigger smile on their face than I ever have. I mean these are the most incredible people. And…give them some of that money! Because they deserve it! Okay!? They deserve it! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
You know, we sent 2300 Humvees…–A TYPE OF WAR VEHICLE–…over. You know that, right? I tell about it all the time! These are the finest in the world: steel plated, steel bottom, steel sides. Impenetrable! If you hit a mine, you’d…get a little bump, but you're okay. Our soldiers didn’t have that! We gave them…to our allies! Allies…! …–CROWD BOOS.
 
Now, here's what happens with our allies: boom, a bullet gets shot. They all run out of their Humvees. The enemy comes, takes them, and that’s it. Two-thousand three-hundred! If our people…had them…they wouldn't be wounded warriors today, okay? …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Our guys were riding around…in the Humvees without any armor plate. And they don't have legs, and they don't have arms, and they're…you know, just…tough, tough deal.
 
But I've gotten to know ‘em, and they are amazing people. And I say…and I've been saying for three years: ‘attack the oil, take the oil’. To the victor belong the spoils. You know…? To the victor belongs…the spoils…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I say, ‘take the oil’, and we'll have plenty left over for us too. But…it's just so disgusting…what's happening. And actually, one of the reasons…and I find this hard to believe. But one of the reasons the war wasn't built, years ago, environmental impacts statement. Can you believe it!? …–CROWD BOOS. No, no, can you believe it!? One of the reasons…!
 
Now, this one I find hard to believe, but you've all read it, and heard it. One of the reasons, I hear…! …that they didn't wanna attack the oil, is because it will affect the environment. Can you believe This!? …–CROWD BOOS. No, no, can you…!? These people are just…uhg!... –MR. TRUMP TAKES HIS HANDS TO HIS FACE OUT OF DESPERATION. THE CROWD LAUGHS. THE CROWD STARTS YELLING CURSE WORDS. MR. TRUMP ACKNOWLEDGES IT–… ‘give me a good word. What's the word!?’. She says ‘idiot’. Ain’t it sad!? The best word is ‘stupidity’, right? …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. The best one. I tell you: I always used to use ‘incompetent’. It's not strong enough. It's not strong enough.
 
So anyway, look! So a lot of things will change. And…we're doing something…that…I mean, they're saying it's never been done before. What's happening here…has…never been done before, because everywhere we go…! …it's the same thing. It's packed houses…but more importantly, it's love. It’s love! They're the same! The people in Mobile, the people in Dallas, the people all over. We went to Sarasota, Florida the other day. 12,000 people. Set an all-time…–RECORD. We've setting records at every place we go to…without…remember, right? …without guitars! …–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
So Sarasota, we had 12,000…people. The convention center held six…–THOUSAND PEOPLE. So we had six in, six out, and I made two speeches; one in, one out…you think this is easy, don't you? …–CROWD LAUGHS–…this is never…
 
But...the spirit…is so incredible. And a friend of mine is a very, very successful guy. He said, ‘where are you going today?’. I said, ‘I'm going to…wherever’; ‘how many people are you speaking in front of?’. ‘15,000 people’. I mean, we had the other night, you saw that. It was incredible! What we had the other night was incredible. But I said, ‘15,000 people’. He said, ‘how do you do it!?’. Cuz he's a guy…he's a rich guy, he's very successful, very smart…–HE–…said,’ how do you speak before all those people…and you don't even have notes. You don't even have like a speech to read! You don't have teleprompters like our president…!’…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
Remember what I said…that if you're running for president, they shouldn't allow you to use teleprompters. This is true! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's true! Because…look: I told him. I said, ‘you know, it's the easiest thing in the world to do! Because there is so much love…in these rooms…that I go to…’. It's incredible! It's…you know, we used to use a term, ‘the silent majority’. And for some reason, the people didn't think that it was politically correct. Nobody's really been able to explain that. But…it's not a great term, anyway. Because it's not a silent majority it's a noisy mature! You gotta see these places go crazy! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, it's true! It's true…! And believe me…–CROWD STARTS CHANTING ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY–…see? …–MR. TRUMP GIGGLES. And…and believe me, people know, and the other side sees what's going on. Part of the poll, of the FOX poll that just came out…is that…Hillary Clinton easily gets beaten by a guy named ‘Trump’. Easily! Easily! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…let me just tell you something. Let me just say something. Hillary Clinton…will be easy…I think she's gonna run, because I think they're gonna give her a free pass. There is a statute of limitations, by the way; you'll figure that one out later…–CROWD LAUGHS. But…and you what that is, right? A statute of limitations.
 
But…Hillary Clinton…she doesn't have the strength, and she doesn't have the stamina to be President…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I’m telling you. You know it! DID–…you ever notice!? She goes out…she goes out…and she makes an appearance; they negotiate with these characters back here…–MR. TRUMP POINTS TO THE BACK, WHERE THE CAMERAS OR THE MEDIA ARE–…who are among the most dishonest people in the world, by the way. The media! –CROWD LAUGHS. No, no! No, they’re people…they’re…among the most dis… I’m talking about the media; they are among the most dishonest human beings I've ever dealt with in my life…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They are…–CROWD CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY.
 
But did you ever notice that…Hillary Clinton…she'll go…and they'll negotiate with the press for…I hear it's brutal! I don't negotiate with the press! Whatever they asked me, they asked me, and do…whatever! But she'll negotiate with the press. They then will ask her a few questions. She'll…make…she’ll come in to Iowa; she'll do a couple of minutes in Iowa…meaning a short period of time. And then she goes up, you don’t see her for 5, 6 days. She goes home, she goes to sleep! …–CROWD LAUGHS. I'm telling you! She…she doesn't have the strength. She doesn't have the stamina! When your Ambassador, from Benghazi, was wiring her, and wiring her, and wiring her…five or six hundred emails! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. She wouldn't respond to him! She wouldn't respond to him! Think of it! He's wiring, and wiring…nobody responds…it's a damned disgrace. And yet she's talking to her friends, like…no problem, no problem.
 
She doesn't have the strength She doesn't have the stamina! To deal with China! To deal with ISIS! The generals! Knock the hell out of ISIS! To deal…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. She doesn't have the strength. She doesn't have…the stamina. And that is for sure. She's been corrupt…for years and years! It's always corruption! It's always corruption! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And you know what? And I don't know what's gonna happen, because look: there's a structural advantage that the Democrats have…you do know that! Unless you get out, and really vote…come November, you're not gonna win!
 
Romney let us down! Romney got the…nomination. I almost went…I should have…you know, It’s…I know I should have gone, but I like this one better! …–CROWD LAUGHS. Because honestly…? It's gotten so bad! And it's so grossly incompetent! I think I like it better, IF–…you wanna know the truth. But…I was gonna…I was really thinking about doing it! But I was in the midst of a lot of jobs that are now completed, we’re…pretty…we're doing a great 1 all Post Office on Pennsylvania Avenue. Under budget, ahead of schedule…that's the way our country should be run! It’s the way the country should be run! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I mean, that’s what we should be doing!
 
But…so Hillary, DID–…you ever noticed so!? You don't see it for four, or five days. Then for five days later she awakens, puts on her pantsuit…–CROWD LAUGHS–…goes out, and does a, you know, does a press conference She…she throws on the old pants, that’s it. But…you know what? Let me tell you. Foreign policy, ‘Trump’ wins.
 
So…you saw…the problem…in Paris was…disgusting! And by the way, speak of that problem…if some of those people…had guns in their pocket…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…if they had guns wrapped around their ankle, if they had guns some place on them, and if they knew how to use them…even a little bit...! …you would have had a whole different story in Paris! I’ll tell you…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And about…what happened to us…just now…with the two sleazebags that…did what they did, where they killed 14 people, probably end up being more than that by the time it's over with, because people are in…very, very serious shape. But…if there were a couple of people in that room…that had guns…if this guy here, or this guy year, or that guy, or that woman…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT A SERIES OF PEOPLE IN THE CROWD–…if you had guns, would have been a different story, right!? Nobody would have died…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
If a little while back…how about we had two…great…really talented soldiers…? …phenomenal marksman, and they had a gun-free zone…on a military base! …–CROWD BOOS. And this…guy walks in…and our soldiers…are told to stand down; no guns! And they get killed. They killed…six of them!
 
And…then we head to school recently, where…gun free…by the way, you know what a gun-free zone is? That's like meat to these animals! That's like meat! Gun free, they love gun free. So, you know, I'm somebody with a lot of common sense. And I would…I'll be honest. I don't need to be doing this. I don't need to…if I thought I was wrong with this, I'd go the other way. I wouldn't care, and if you didn't vote for me, I’d be fine.
 
If you don't have the right to protect yourself…you’d have a whole different deal, you’d have a whole different country!  –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. You’d have a whole…different…country! And I say it to people! And I say it to all these guys that wanna get rid of the Second Amendment. They wanna do all sorts of numbers; they wanna give you one clip; they say, ‘no, we want one too clip’. So…did you see the one thing, where you're allowed two bullets in a club!? Okay! Think of it! …–CROWD LAUGHS. They don’t make them like that, but you’re allowed two. I said, ‘do you think the bad guys are gonna say, ‘oh, wow, the law allows two bullets!’ …–CROWD LAUGHS. It is so preposterous!
 
But…you know, it's funny. Over the last…I felt this way. I'm a member of the NRA–THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION. THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. My sons… actually…my sons are members for years. Don, and Eric, and they're great marksman, actually. They love it. They are really fantastic shots. I'm not so good. But they're really good! But, uh, you know, every time I see one of these tragedies…I say to the people that are…you know, for ‘get rid of the gun, get rid of guns’, ‘didn't you think it would be good if, instead of…in Paris, where there are hundreds of people…in these different places…if a few of them had guns? Don't you think it would be better?’. They can't answer me! They can't answer. There's no way they can…debate it. There's no way they can win it.
 
I mean, The New York Times today, has an editorial, in the front page…I think it's the first time in many, many, many…decades that they've done it. Anti…totally anti-gun. But I say to the people… ‘wouldn't it be great if…’ …three people! …three people! …in Paris, had guns! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And then they say, ‘uh…well, uh…’, they wanna get on to a different subject! They said to the…people…these…these animals went in… ‘over here, boom. Over here, boom.Over here, boom’. And they killed…hundred and…forty…lot’s more, nine right now in the hospitals. And this is what we have.
 
And the other thing I’m saying is…so…Second Amendment, is so important. Common…Common Core…Common core…out the window! Out! Out! Out! Common Core is out…the window! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. Common Core is…can you imagine!? I know…who knows more about Washington!? You know, I’ve been in politics all my life. People say, ‘well, he is…’. I’ve been in politics…all over the world! Because when we build…! I…and in all fairness, I get along with Democrats…I get along with everybody! Wouldn’t it be nice if we could actually have consensus instead of this guy? …–MEANING MR. BARACK OBAMA–…signing executive orders all the time? …–CROWD CALLS OUT ‘YES!’ AND APPLAUDS.
 
And his executive orders, and he’s…most of them…but his executive orders…the great thing about executive orders is the new president going in…with just a signature terminates that…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We don’t have…no…terminates them!
 
And the one we’re gonna terminate, we’re getting about one minute…! …okay? I’m gonna probably take my gloves off, or whatever the hell I’m wearing…–CROWD LAUGHS–...but, the one on the border that allows the people to pour through…
Now, we have some pretty good courts cases, actually! Very nice! But who needs the courts…!? It’s gonna be terminated immediately. So…we are going to have people come in, but they are going to come in…legally! Legally! Legally! Okay!? So that does terminate it. That gets terminated it immediately…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So…what’s happened…is…since Paris, in particular…ehm…a lot of people thought…the pundits; and…and…who are not smart people, by the way. You know, guys like George Will; if you took away his little round glasses, he’d look like an idiot. Okay!? –CROWD LAUGHS. Cause he thinks he’s smart because he wears little glasses.
 
 Ehm…Karl Rove…here’s a guy who spends hundreds of millions of dollars in…–CROWD BOOS. He’s the worst! He’s the worst! He spends hundreds and…he’s still thinks Romney won…–CROWD LAUGHS. He goes around saying, ‘I thought Romney won, didn’t Romney…?’. Karl Rove. They…we’ve so many people that are so negative…for the party! Such negative people! Karl Rove has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on different races, and didn’t win anything! …in that last presidential…like one…like nothing! And…he actually made a commercial…that was so good…I thought it was so good…but I thought it was…you know, for the other guy! It was really a…commercial! …–CROWD LAUGHS. It was incredible! But it was…for the wrong guy! Okay, so…you know, that was another race that we lost.
 
We need…better people. We need…smarter people. We need unity in the Republican party. You know…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. What don’t people don’t know about me, I’m a unifier. But I always thought about Obama…I…look, obviously it's been a horrible president, he’ll go down as one of the worst presidents in history. And…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, he’ll be one of the…he’ll be truly one of the worst presidents in history. And what…this the Iran deal will…ceiling! Because that is…one of the worst transactions…of any kind I've ever seen. They get…150 billion dollars. It…no, on top of everything, they take over Iraq, they got plenty of money to do it. And they don’t our need nuclear…–ENERGY–…anymore, they can buy it!
 
They got 150 billion dollars…how about where they self-police? …–CROWD LAUGHS. So they’ll call up, ‘we think you're doing something over there. Well, we'll go check’. THEN MR. TRUMP PLAYS OUT THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT–… ‘Ehm…Mr. President, I promise we're not doing…’. This is…
 
And then they have the 24 days…for frankly, less important sense. And the 24 days doesn't kick in until after a process. And then we don't even get our prisoners…for a hundred and fifty billion dollars, and a loss of every single point…we don't even get our prisoners back! And I will tell you: our prisoners, if I get elected, will be back…before…I ever…take…that…office…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I promise you that. I promise you that.
 
They have taken such advantage of us! And they’re great negotiators. You know, the Persians have always been great negotiators. They have taken…such advantage of these amateurish…like John Kerry, who doesn't know about the hell he’s doing…and…we…will…do things…that will be…in a very different fashion…over the coming years.
 
So…what I've been talking about has trade, it’s been Caterpillar, it's been Japan, it's been China ripping us, it's been Mexico…ripping us and at the border…it's been everything! But…it's been very economics. And then, when the Paris attack hit…which was a tragedy, everybody said, ‘oh, Trump is going down now! He's gonna go down!’. The poll comes out, boom, I’m up! Then the CNN poll comes out, I’m up even more! Cause people want strength! They want somebody that knows…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. THEN CHANTS ‘TRUMP!’ REPEATEDLY.
 
I like this people. you know, by the way, if you wanna be famous, they have the best seat…–CROWD CHEERS. But, you have the best seat. But if you wanna be famous, they have the best seat! You’re gonna all be famous. You’ll watch yourself in television. I'm the only guy who makes a speech, you’ve all these crazy cameras going. A MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS ‘I LOVE YOU DONALD’. MR. TRUMP ACKNOWLEDGES IT AND RESPONDS–…But I will… ‘I love you too, darling’…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So how many times has it been!? You know, the loyalty has been so incredible, but…they'll say, ‘Oh, oh! Trump just made a statement…! Oh! That’s the end!’ …–CROWD LAUGHS. First, I wasn’t gonna run. Then I was just doing it for fun! All this…this…believe me! This isnt’ such fun! I like it! I can think of other things I might rather be doing, right!? –CROWD LAUGHS. Not too many thought, I wonder that.
 
Look, I'm doing this to win. I got a call from…one of the great writers…of the world! Recently! And he said… ‘Mr. Trump…’, I got a lot or respect for him. He’s on the other side of the equation. But…I have a lot…I have a lot of respect for him. Liberal guy. Brilliant guy! Liberal guy! And he said to me, ‘how does it feel!?’.
I said, ‘how does what feel?’.
‘What you've done has never been done before. It was ‘the summer of Trump’, now it's… ‘the autumn of Trump’. Well…how does it feel?’.
I said, ‘it doesn't feel anything!’.
He said, ‘what do you mean?’.
‘I haven’t won!’.
 
So if…if I don't win…this is a total, and complete waste of time. He said, ‘no you're wrong’. He said, ‘what you've done is incredible! You've shown that you can speak directly. You've shown that you don't have to be so totally politically correct…. You showed…’…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
He said, ‘you’ve shown a lot of things’. But he said, ‘what you’ve done, never been done before’. I said, ‘I disagree. If I don't win…I have wasted…totally wasted my time’. Okay? And that's the way I feel. Cause if I don't, what I am gonna do? Sit home, watch some incompetent person…setting the budget…–CROWD CHEERS–…dealing with ISIS, they don't know how to deal. I mean, we…honestly, seriously…and I know the guys with money!
 
And by the way, some of them…some of them are fine. Okay? But they can't do what…we’re gonna do, folks! They can’t! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They don’t have…they don’t have the skill, they don’t have the time, they wouldn't have the people, they don't have the imagination…we're gonna do some great things! We owe nineteen trillion…it’s gonna be 21 trillion. The budget we signed recently is a catastrophe. DID–…you ever see a budget…!? The largest budget in the history of the United States…I mean, they agree to this thing on like a 24 hours!
 
What's supposed to happen is…every time, every year…it’s the same thing! They have a rush to the budget. Everyone says, you’re gonna close-up government. Don't they understand that Obama would never cause the government? Because nobody cares who the speaker is! Nobody cares who anybody is. The only one that's gonna be hurt by closing…up…for a little while, is the president. When they write about it, in 50 years, they’re just gonna…it's another…error…! …for Obama, where…he was a terrible president. Okay!? They’re not talking about the speaker, they’re not talking about…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But we had speaker Boehner…–MR. TRUMP REFERS TO THE 53RD SPEAKER OF THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, JOHN BOEHNER–and…I…I…you know, I always liked the person, but I disagree with what he does. He came out, –A– couple weeks before I left. He said, ‘we will never close the government!’. But once he said that, it's over! Now, I don't wanna close government! You know, hopefully I would never have to close the government. I don't like it! But you don't say that…! …because you lose all your points! Once you do that…! it's like…Obama. They talk too much, all these days.
 
We're sending 50…of our finest…over to Iraq, probably Syria. But we’re sending fifty! So he gets up, has this news conference to announce, ‘50 people…–CROWD LAUGHS–…our finest soldiers, are going going…’. They got a…they got a target on their back. Why does he have to say it!? When…you should’ve never been in Iraq. I said…! I'm the only one! Of all of these folks, including Hillary, who is all…you know, she voted ‘yes’. And I'm more militaristic than anybody…in this room! …–CROWD CHEERS–…except for that guy, right there. That guy looks very…he looks like he’s a seriously militaristic…
And believe me! I said it! We're gonna make our military so strong, so powerful, so incredible…nobody’s gonna mess with us…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…nobody. CROWD CHANTS ‘U.S.A!’ REPEATEDLY.
 
Nobody’s gonna mess! But, you have to know when to use it! And I said, ‘if you do that…if you attack Iraq…’. Iraq and Iran were the same, militarily. It’s the same, exact, strength. They fought forever! It’s all they do, it’s…fight. Over there…they just…they just fight. They don’t know what any of them are fighting about. They fight. I wanna come back, I wanna rebuild our country. All they wanna do is fight. And I said, ‘if…’…it turned out that…they, you know, they had no weapons of mass destruction; you know that…which is…makes it even worse! But…look! They go in, they fight, they fight, …–MR. TRUMP REPRESENTS THAT BACK AND FORTH FIGHTING WITH HIS FISTS. Boom, boom. They rest. A couple of years…they fight, they fight…
 
I said, ‘if you take out one of the other…’, in this case if you take out of Iraq, and we obliterated the best. I said, ‘the other one is gonna take over the whole…Middle East, and take over Iraq’. Where…Iraq…! …has the second largest oil reserves…in the world. Okay? A lot of people don’t know that.
 
In Afghanistan…very interesting. We’re fighting over here…–MR. TRUMP REPRESENTS WHERE WITH HIS HANDS–…very…you know, a lot of people don’t know. Afghanistan is very rich in minerals. So Afghanistan…we're fighting over here, on the side of the mountains. Very rough territory. And China…is over here…with their shovels, and their excavators…taking out all the minerals. So we’re fighting and they’re taking all the minerals!
 
China…! …is taking much of the oil…that we're talking about in Iraq. China is by far the biggest customer. We don't know what we're doing, okay? We don't know what we're doing! And we've gotta stop it. We’ve gotta stop it, and we've gotta stop it fast. And it's so easy! It’s common sense! It's so easy…–CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY.
 
We have a case…where…we have Assad…–MEANING THE PRIME MINISTER OF SYRIA, BASHAR AL-ASSAD. Assad’s not a good guy, okay? On the record…on the record press... –MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS IN THE BACK. Bad guy. But we're…we’re fighting…Assad. We’ve…everyone wants Assad out.
 
Look what happens with…Gaddafi…in Libya. IT–…Turned out from a disaster! Look what happens…with Iraq; and Saddam Hussein. Look what happens! Turns out to be 10 times worse than it ever was. You know, I'm not fan of Saddam Hussein…that I can tell you. But Saddam Hussein…used to take great pleasure…in killing…terrorists. You know, now it's…the Harvard University of terrorism. You go to Iraq if you wanna be in terrorism. You wanna be a terrorist? Iraq, great place. Go to Syria. But Saddam Hussein used to kill! Everybody! Those who are terrorists!
 
So, we take out Saddam Hussein. What the hell have we done? What the hell are we done? And we leave! And we don't…we don’t really get anything. So now I say, the other day; I say, ‘well, look, this is the way you have to...’ this is a chess game! But we have…people…that don’t know how to play chess!
 
And Lindsey Graham…you listen to this guy, he wants to ‘attack everybody, one time…’, he doesn’t…and he’s not a smart man! Believe me. And he's always sitting with John McCain, did you ever see that? …–CROWD LAUGHS.  What are they? The Bobbsey Twins? They’re always together! …–CROWD LAUGHS. And you know, the last poll that came out…he has zero! I say, you know they interview thousands of people, how do you have zero? But he talks like he knows something. It is…he has plans…so bad, okay.
 
So, we have to get rid of, you’ll agree, ISIS first. One thing at a time. So ISIS is fighting Assad…Assad hates ISIS. They’re fighting, they’re fighting…we come along, we want Assad there…and we want ISIS there. Now, if we…attack ISIS, and as we attack ISIS, Assad can't believe how lucky he’d get. But we wanna attack him also. Now, you have Iran, who…who is now a new power, because we made them a power overnight…but more importantly, you have Russia…on the side of Assad.
 
So…we’re gonna attack Russia. I don’t know. Somehow Syria and World War Three don’t go along great…to me. But, more importantly, I want ISIS! These people are cutting off our Christian’s heads, our Christian brothers heads…our Christians…they’re…they’re cutting…off…the heads…of people…we haven’t seen this…since…medieval times. We haven't seen it…since medieval times. ‘You’re right about that with Saudi Arabia’…–MR. TRUMP ACKNOWLEDGES A SUDDEN INTERVENTION BY A MEMBER IN THE CROWD.
 
But, we have to attack…one…at a time. We gotta knock out ISIS. We’ll worry about that later! We’ve gotta knock out ISIS! And actually, a couple of people in the Democrat side…have said something very similar to me. They took a little heat. But everybody…The Talk Show, you watch the debate, they get absolutely overwhelmed…so easily. Bottom line is this: we have a militant…we don't have the right people leading our military.
 
Our military people go on television. They talk! Our…our president said when we’re leaving Iraq. Do you remember that!? Not only did he say he was sending our soldiers, fifty man. You know the funny thing? He did it because he thought it would be good publicity. But when he said fifty, it wasn't enough people! So he got criticized for sending so few! But he also said…a few years ago, when he’s leaving Iraq. Remember!? He gave an exact date. And I said, ‘Ahh! That was the camouflage. He must be kidding!’. Cause nobody could say that!’. So the enemy pulled back. And they said, ‘hey, wait a minute!’. You know, you hear that they wanna be be killed. They don't wanna be killed. Honestly? They’re chicken shit. They don’t wanna be killed…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’s all INAUDIBLE. They don’t wanna be killed.
 
Just like this guys…you know, they had an escape plan. They had a…a big escape plan. Right? Because he didn’t wanna be…they don’t wanna be killed. Didn’t the police do a great job in California!? …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They really did! And you know what else? They did a good job in France. Not easy! They did a great job in France. They did a great job…!
 
We have gotta start honoring and respecting our police, by the way…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We gotta do it. And…you know…? You’re always gonna have some bad apples, and…the sad part is, look at what you see on television! It's always the negative stuff. But you’re gonna have bad…stuff. It’s such a tiny fraction…! …of what really happens!
 
And the one thing is the way they captured these two people. These two animals. The way they captured. And the way…the mother…is in the apartment. They've got…all sorts of bombs, pipe bombs…all sorts of crap, all over the apartment. The mother did not, ‘oh, I didn’t see…’. I mean, it’s not like a Trump Apartment, which is so big you can do it, right!? –CROWD LAUGHS. This is a small apartment!
 
And…then you had somebody that also didn’t wanna do it because…they thought it would be… what was the word the used…right? …–MR. TRUMP ASKS THE AUDIENCE AND INTERACTS WITH THEM. No…! What…did…it?
 
They they didn't wanna do it because…they knew there was something wrong! They saw people carrying very strange things…like the gunpowder…and…a pipe….and the pipe is only this long…–MR. TRUMP SHOWS A LENGTH WITH HIS HANDS. You need a lot of pipes to do…the bathroom, when they’re this long…–CROWD LAUGHS. And they saw, and they knew it! But they didn’t wanna profile the people! Who are these people!? Who are people that can be so stupid to do that!? Who!? Who!?
 
So…so…–MR. TRUMP ALLOWS THE AUDIENCE TO PARTICIPATE AND THEN ACKNOWLEDGES WHAT THEY SAY REPEATING IT–…‘they were Democrats’…–CROWD LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS. I…I was gonna say there was something else, but I don’t wanna say it, cause I’m just gonna get myself in trouble. I wonder really what that is.
 
I watched…I watched the sister…of the guy last night…on television, right? And I’m pretty good at this stuff.  And I watched her, she had to bail the whole thing. And she saw, she’s talking about the brother…
 
First of all, her brother was killed a few days ago. She's not at all…I mean, just talking like…in fact, she said, ‘I think I've to go now, my time is up’. Uh…and you never stood…right…? So not INAUDIBLE.
 
I thought she was lying…so much! I'm good at this! I thought she was a total liar! I watched her being interviewed last night…right!? –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. She lied about him. She… ‘oh, she didn’t know…oh, she didn’t really felt this way…’. She knew! And all the other people…knew too. A lot of other…and we better be vigilant!
 
I was watching some of these…people that I'm running against. And all of a sudden, they're talking about vigilance. I was using the word. They're talking about the same things that I said a week ago. Took heat for it, but didn't change! I don't change! Whatever it is, it is. And now they’re saying it! They’re saying it. Just like the illegal immigration! I didn’t…change. Now they’re all saying it.
 
But…we’ve gotta be vigilant. We've gotta be tough. We've gotta be smart. And when people know what's going on…and when we know, they…know what's going on. And when…wonderful, beautiful people die…for nothing! For what…!? These are animals that walk into a room and shoot everyone. Those people that knew…have to pay a big, big prince! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They have to pay a big price! And they will pay a big price!
 
Because I’m watching this…and it’s like…give me a break! I'm watching all these people about the racial profiling, and all…I don't believe that for a second! These people knew what was going on…and there was more than the two of them. And they're probably…is a lot more out there than two of them. And we better get really tough, and really smart, and we better…do it…quickly! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So…so…–CROWD STARTS CHANTING ‘TRUMP!’ VIVIDLY. So just…in concluding, I have to say this. Look: we have a country…that…I love. A country that's much different than it was…–CROWD APPLAUDS. We have a Sergeant Bergdahl…who…is a dirty rotten traitor... –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
Six people…were killed. Six people! Going out, trying to get him back. Six…young…great…people. I watch the mothers, and the father's talking about it. They knew he was a traitor when they made the deal. And yet, Obama and his geniuses…made a deal, Sergeant Bergdahl, a dirty rotten traitor, for 5 guys, that they've tried to get for the last nine years…out of GTMO…–MEANING THE GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE. But they tried to get them for the last…9…years!
 
And now we have them. And they're back on the battlefield, trying to kill everybody. And if they get the chance, they’ll be trying to kill you and all of these. We can't run anything like this anymore!
 
So the…the one thing that has taken place, that has been really…it's been…really …something that…I've appreciated. Every time…things get worse…I do better! Because people have confidence in me. I can only…I can only tell you this…–CROWD APPLAUDS. No, no, confidence. I can only tell you this…and I’ve said it. Trade, don’t worry about it, I’ll take care of it. I used to spend the whole hour and a half talking about…don’t worry. Just do me a favor, I get the best…! We’ll do something great.
 
Obamacare, terminated…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It’ll be fine. We’re terminating Obamacare, we'll replace with something…it’s gonna be really good. It’s gonna be good.
 
There are so many other things. Our military strong, I told you. Our Vets they’re gonna be taking care of. They’re gonna be taken care of like they should. We have a planning…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…it will be done.
 
But we’re gonna be strong…and we're gonna be vigilant. And we're not gonna be pushed around. And we may not be so politically correct…you know, I went to an Ivy League School.  Good student. I went to a great school. Always fun. I can be more politically correct than any guy in that stand, back there…–MR. TRUMP POINTS TO THE CAMERAS. And I guarantee I’m a lot smarter than all of them…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
But…but what happens…what…let me just tell you. What happens…and it's a problem. It's such a long…route! It’s such a long circuitous route! We gotta move! We gotta move fast! We see things wrong. So when I talked about the mosques…they said, ‘oh, what’s wrong…?’. They said, ‘well, where is the problem!?’. There’s something bad happening folks! There’s something bad! And now…there are people that are saying, ‘okay. Maybe that…’. But there’s something happening! 
 
So we…have to be careful. We have to be strong. We have to be smart. And I'll tell you this: I hope Come Caucus time you’re gonna be there, and you’re gonna vote, cause we can’t get this done…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…I’m always saying…and I say it very strongly: if I win…I will get in, I will work so hard…! I will…put…every ounce…of my being…into getting this country to a level, that will be not only where it was…but greater…than it's…ever…been…before! …–CROWD CHEER AND APPLAUDS. We have tremendous potential! We have tremendous potential!
 
So…we're make America great again! But we're going to make it greater…than…ever…before. Good luck! Big day coming up…it's called…–CROWD CHEERS–...February first. Big…big day. And I only promise…we will do a fantastic job for you. And you’re my bosses. Not the special interests! Not the lobbyist...! Not the donors…! You’re the boss! –CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY.
