Tough cookies. How's your team doing? Your wrestling team doing? Good? Huh? Good? Where are they? That's a rough-looking group over there. I love it! We need more of that stuff.
 
So…you know what happens, right? You heard what happened. Iran took over two of our boats. They said they're gonna release them. Oh, isn't that nice? They're gonna release them. This isn't the same country. When I hear that…it just happened! Just happened! It literally just happened. And I think it's…not so good. It's just…it's just an indication of where the hell we're going. I mean, hopefully they get released and fast. But it seems to be an indication of where we're going. That Iran deal…is the dumbest deal…I think I've ever seen! I don't think I've ever seen anything like that! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So…you gotta go out by Time Magazine. One of the few great stores…I mean, I love…Time Magazine; Can you believe it!? So I was on about three times in the last couple of months…–CROWD CHEERS–…but this one…this writer happens to be very talented. “How Trump won”. Now, you know…let's hope! Hey, let's hope! Right!? Cause we're gonna turn it around; we're gonna make our country great again; …–CROWD CHEERS. It says, “now he just needs the votes”. We have the…we have the people. And essentially…uh…it's a story that talks about…of the people that come to these rallies. And even this one!
 
You know, I have to tell you. So the fire marshals, the people came; they said, “Mr. Trump, we're putting them all over the place; but the floor…we don't want it to collapse”. So get scared…–CROWD LAUGHS. So they have to keep that section of the floor, and they're sending away hundreds of people! Because they can't…; now, would you rather take your chance and let the floor collapse? …–CROWD YELLS ‘YES!’. Yes!? All right, let them come in.
Well, my first…you know, I'm very good at construction. So my first question is, “well, how deep is it?”. And it's only a well. I said, “how deep is it?”. They said, “it's a drop of three feet”. I said, “three feet!? I don't mind if it collapses”, okay? You know, three feet; it’s a pipe chaser under there. But…anyway, we still don't want it to collapse.
 
So we've had an amazing time. And it's been an amazing journey, for all of us! People are turning out…for what we're doing. The ‘quiet majority’, call it the ‘noisy majority’; it's really not quiet. I was saying ‘quiet majority’; and…you know, that's an old term that used to be used; but the truth is, this is a very, very upset. This is a very, very…angry in many respects, Majority! We're talking about a majority. We have people…in Dallas; we had 20,000 people; Mobile, Alabama, 35,000; Oklahoma, 20,000. Wherever I go. In Iowa. You know the crowds. They are always packed! The only thing that holds us in is…weak floors or…walls that don't go out far enough. And…you know, here…and in New Hampshire; we're doing incredibly well in New Hampshire; South Carolina…everywhere we go! We're gonna be in Pensacola very soon; in Pensacola we're gonna have 20,000 people, at least! In fact, the problem is the place holds 15. That's always a problem, right? But we have 20,000 people already signed up, and it took about three days to do that.
 
Uh…the gravis poll just came out. I love to talk about polls. You know, I'm a poll maven. I became like the old-time expert on polls. And people said, “why does he always talk about polls?”. But these are the people that are number 12, number 9…even the other candidates! One of them was a number 13, “why do you always talk about polls?”. I said, “because I'm not number 13” …–CROWD  LAUGHS. I mean…if I were Jeb Bush, hey…! …–CROWD APPLAUDS. It’s true. If I were Jeb Bush I wouldn't be talking about polls. I don't talk about polls! I'd say, “let's talk about the weather. Is the weather good?” …–CROWD LAUGHS. I mean, think of it. He spent…69 million dollars. Just to show you a waste of money. We could distribute that 69 million dollars to these people in the room, and…do very well…; or give it to the…wounded vets; or give it to the…you know, give it to the wounded warriors; …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. give it to our great veterans; give it to…somebody…that would…! You hear sixty…nine…million dollars, and he's nowhere…not gonna happen! It's not gonna happen! And it’s sad, actually…if you wanna know the truth.
 
And I spend nothing and I’m at the top! Is that good!? …–CROWD CHEERS. You know, that's the way the country should be. Our country…should…be that way! I mean, wouldn't it be nice if…? You know, on education…we're ranked number 29, or 28 in the world; and yet with number one…in terms of spending. Common Core by the way, we're taking it out, it's gone; okay? Common Core…–CROWD CHEERS. We're gonna use local folks for that. Second Amendment, while we're at it!? A hundred percent! So that's up, and Common Core is down! Second Amendment, oh, we're gonna take care of…; we believe in the Second…
 
You know, if we had a couple of guns in Paris…if they had; or in Los Angeles, or in California…where they had the…the 14 people killed, with these two…radicalized horror shows; and…if the bullets were firing in two directions instead of one, it would have been a whole different story folks…–CROWD APPLAUDS. Would have been all different story. It's terrible, terrible. We gotta get tough; we gotta get smart; we gotta get vigilant. We gotta know who the hell is coming into our country; okay? We're gonna get vigilant! …–CROWD CHEERS. And when people see other people doing bad things…like these two they had pipe bombs all over the floor of their apartment! People saw those bombs! Nobody calls the police? Nobody tells? Nobody wants to talk? To me those people are just as guilty as the people that did it. And we gotta get smart; cause a lot of people know what's going on. A lot of people know what's going on. And the families know what going on! Every family…I'll tell you what, you don't think the wife or the husband talks!? They talk. They talk. And they know what's happening.
 
And when the World Trade Center came down, you don't think that their families knew what was happening? Where those planes were going? And…it's…uh…disgraceful. It's disgraceful. We're gonna get things change around a lot in this country, cause right now…right now we're a laughingstock, okay?
 
Ao the Gravis poll came out: 41; forty-one, now think of it: 41-percent forty-one percent. What do they have, 15 people, when they took this!? We're rapidly losing people. Sad, isn't it!? Nah! Is it sad that we're losing people? Nah, I don't think so; …–CROWD YELLS ‘NAH!’. Forty-one percent for Trump; Cruz is second, with the less than half. Rubio at 11. Then NBC just came out. 38; 38…but that’s a lot! I mean, I'd almost take 41, and 42. If you had three people…but we have like 14! FOX News came out. Uh…uh…just…way, way ahead. Thirty-five percent in FOX News. Time Magazine, you're gonna go out to buy it. I put that down. Pensacola, you're gonna watch on Florida. The hell with that; that's all I need from that sheet…–MR. TRUMP THROWS THE PAPERS AWAY. THE CROWD LAUGHS.
Now, in Iowa. Let's talk about Iowa, cause I gotta win Iowa! Okay!? …–CROWD CHEERS. Look at that! Iowa! I love Iowa. We've really hit a note with evangelicals; we've hit a note with the Tea Party; and with just the people of Iowa. I'm all over the place. I like it! I love it! Maybe I’ll just buy…I think I'm gonna buy a farm and settle down over here…–CROWD CHEERS. All right!? No, I think I will. A medium-sized farm, cause I don't know if I wanna work that hard, right? …–CROWD LAUGHS. But a nice farm. It's…it's an incredible place, Iowa.
 
Uh…CNN! So CNN came out…a little while ago; 33 for Trump; 20 for Chris; that's good. Quinnipiac…! just came out yesterday; thirty-one…percent for Trump; 29 for Cruz…little too close for comfort folks. PPP just came out; 28 for Trump; 26…by the way, I hate to tell you Iowa. This is the only place that I'm like doing let's say…it's even! I'm not exactly thrilled. I go to New Hampshire, we have this massive lead! They're all playing for second place, supposedly…! I hope that turns out to be right! Cause I don't care who's in second place. Then you go over to South Carolina, Next; And I have a massive lead! You know, like I'm at…39, and somebody's at 11…and they’re…you have some at one, and two…I think they have a long…they wanna get out fast; because…when you're 39, and somebody else is at one…actually, we have 1, 39 or somebody's at zero! I would say they're wasting their time, don't we agree!? …–CROWD YELLS ‘YEAH!’. I would say.
 
By the way, the fire marshal, I wanna thank all the people cause they're letting those people come back in, and…that's great; instead of sending them home. That's really great. But…this is a good wrestling arena. I guess that's what it is, right? Does Dan Gable, did he…? I'll tell you what, is Dan Gable a good man, by the way? …–CROWD YELLS ‘YEAH!’. Huh? I love Dan Gable. But…that was a serious wrestler.

So, uh…with PPP were up; with Monmouth, uh…in New Hampshire. We're at 32, to 18; NBC just came out. In New Hampshire, 32 to 14; That's what I like better Iowa! Do you understand!? That's New Hampshire! So come on, Iowa! Will you get with it, please!? A little upset. I won't buy that farm here; I'll go someplace else…–CROWD CHEERS. NBC News, Iowa…Trump ,26; Cruz, 24. It's too close. I don't like it. So we have to change it, okay? I cannot stand it. Here something…just came out…you know the nice thing about not using teleprompters? …like our president, and…most…and half of these politicians. And they’re…other half read their speeches they go like this, “ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much…it's been…” …–MR. TRUMP PLAYS THEM OUT IN A MOCKING TONE. And they're out of here in 15 minutes. I'll speak to you for like an hour, but…we speak about current events, like…as an example, the boats got captured. Now, maybe by the time we get out we get them back, but maybe not. Because the Iranians like to taunt us. Because they don't have…that…respect…for our leaders, right?
 
But this just came out! Website…Trump website traffic: 2.5 million views per month! Listen to this one: 1.6 billion requests. 1.6 billion! You know that is!? I didn't even know! I said, “is that good or bad?”. I think it's good, right? The person that does this stuff, the professional, that…the…views…he said it's like unheard of. So there's a lot of good stuff coming out, and it's sort of amazing.
 
So with the polls. I wanna win in Iowa. I wanna really win. I don't wanna come in second. I wanna win or not win. Now, smart would be to say, “I wanna do well”; that way, if I come in second no one's gonna say, “oh he did well”. I don't wanna do that. I wanna win, right? See!? She's saying, “yes!” …–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEONE IN PARTICULAR. So I wanna win! Now, the press is gonna say, “oh, isn't that crazy? He said he wants to win…”. I think we're gonna win! I think a lot of people are gonna come out that…you know, haven't been caucusing before; and haven't done it before; and…I think a lot of people are gonna come out. You know, the theory is…that there wait for five hours at a line. “Hello darling! Look at you” …–MR. TRUMP LOOKS DOWN ON TO THE FIRST ROW. THE CROWD LAUGHS. They'll wait for five hours in a line in the cold weather, but they won't caucus. Okay? I think they're gonna caucus. But let's see what happens! I mean, I hope they will. Because…I wanna have a mandate; I wanna take back trade; I wanna do something…we're losing billions, and billions, and billions of dollars a year with China. With these ridiculous deals that were made by people…that don't have a clue. I'm self-funding my campaign. I'm not having people give me checks for millions of dollars. These guys are all controlled…! …including Ted! He's got millions of dollars from these three or four characters…that I don't even know! I mean, they’re wealthy guys. They’re given millions of those! You think they're doing it for their health? I don't think so.
 
And by the way, Ted is totally against ethanol. Please remember that. And I'm…for ethanol. So I think it's an important thing, okay? So…better remember that…–CROWD CHEERS. I toured with your ethanol…uh…representatives and the industry. I toured some of the plants. I think it's fantastic. And anything we do to create fuel is good, because we wanna stay away from the Middle East. We've learned that lesson the hard way, okay?
 
So…it's very important to develop for me a mandate. I want a mandate. I wanna go in big. And if we win Iowa…the reason Iowa is important is that…I honestly think, if we win Iowa…and you guys haven't picked a winner in a long time! I hate to tell you this! …–CROWD LAUGHS. I don't wanna be a wise guy. You'll say, “get the hell out of this wrestling place!”. And then I'll have to take on your wrestling team. But…if…and your wrestling team likes ‘Trump’. Do you like ‘Trump’? …–CROWD CHEERS. Okay. I could see it! But…but honestly…? I wanna…do…I wanna to have a mandate. If we win…Iowa, I think we're gonna run the table. These guys don't know. They have no idea. They didn't even think I was gonna run. The press, they’re the most dishonest people I've ever seen in my life. They are disgusting. No, they're all terrible…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They're terrible. They’re…I mean, not all of them; twenty-five percent of them are fine. Ten percent are great. But most of them are…absolute the worst …–CROWD LAUGHS. I mean, they are so dishonest…! They are so…totally dishonest. So it's one of those things.
But if we win Iowa…I think, we run the table! I really do. Because you go out to uh…you go to New Hampshire, big lead; you know, if you don’t win Iowa and something happens…but…but remember, you haven't picked a winner in so long now! It's been so long! You need a winner! I'm gonna win! Nobody else is gonna win! I'm gonna win!
 
One of the things that just came out, and…that…CNBC did, and other people are doing…if I run, let's assume it's Hillary, even though she probably should be in prison, in all fairness…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. No, probably…well I…I dream! I dream of running against Bernie, you know…–CROWD LAUGHS. “Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Bernie Sanders, I'm gonna raise your taxes to ninety percent”. “Oh, really! Oh, well. You're gonna raise my taxes…? I don't think so” …–MR. TRUMP DOES THE IMPRESSION IN A MOCKING TONE. THE CROWD LAUGHS. No, I’d love…I would love to run against a socialist. I would love…or communist…I don't know what he is…–CROWD CHEERS. It might be a communist. I think he's…sort of tipped over the ledge.
 
But…but it'll be very interesting to see; you know, those last emails that…uh…Hillary has is…that…I mean, that whole thing with her instructions about how to do it? Let's…avoid it this way!? I mean…that shows a level of sophistication that we weren't supposed to be seeing, folks! So it'll be interesting to see what happens with Hillary, but I think she's gonna be protected by the Democrats. Probably she's gonna run. Many, many people have been destroyed because of doing five percent of what she did. Their lives have been ruined; their lives have been destroyed. We'll have to see what happens; but whether it's Hillary, or Bernie, or…somebody else gets in, uh…I just look forward to winning here, and winning, and doing something spectacular; cause there is so…much…we…can do!
 
I have the greatest businessman in the world lined up to take over like areas of trade .Guys like Carl Icahn, who endorsed me. Great businessmen. And many others. And I’d say, as an example, “Carl, check out China”. Five…hundred trade deficit. Five…hundred…billion…dollar! “Check it out!”. He doesn't know about that stuff, you know? He doesn't know about losing…that kind of money. We rebuilt China. China…honestly? China has been one of the greatest thefts in the history of the world; what they've done to our country. Now, with that being said, I love China! I love the people of China! Their leaders are just too smart for our leaders! Our…our leaders are dummies! They don't know what the hell they're doing! I love China!
 
Now, I have people that give me tens of millions of dollars for apartments! I just closed one the other day. What? Am I supposed to dislike the Chinese? I like the Chinese! I like…I love the Mexicans; and Mexicans…I have thousands…I have tens of thousands of Hispanics over the years that have work for me! Thousands of Mexican! They're great! The country is…wonderful, but they’re taking advantage of us; at the border…and we will build a wall, by the way. And Mexico will pay for the the wall! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They will pay for the wall. So we're gonna build a wall, they're gonna pay for the wall. And the reason they’re gonna pay…; no politician is gonna get them to pay for the wall. Cause the politician…all talk, no action. They've even asked me! “Donald, how can you possibly suggest that they’ll pay?”. You know how? Because they make billions of dollars ripping us off! Billions! Look at the deficit we have with Mexico! And the wall is peanuts…by comparison! You're not talking about that much money, relatively speaking. And we need a wall. And we want people to come in, but they have to come in legally. They can come into the country, but they have to come in legally. They have to be vetted…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So I'm running against different people. And Ted's been nice to me, and I’ve been nice to him, but he's got a problem. And you know he's got a problem; and it's gonna be very interesting to see what happens. Because…natural born citizen. And you see here, the articles are all over the place…–MR. TRUMP SHOWS AN ARTICLE. And this started not with me. Just so you understand. This started…the Washington Post was interviewing me. And they're asking me a lot of different questions on different things. And then they said what about Ted Cruz. “Do you think he has…is he allowed to run for president, if he wins, is he allowed to do it?”. I said, “I really don't know, because he was born in Canada. He was actually a citizen of Canada until…15 months ago”, which a lot of people don't understand, “…and that's a big problem! That's a real problem!”. And then Laurence Tribe, who’s the…one of the top…constitutional lawyers from Harvard. He wrote a big article, saying that this is an unsettled area of the law; a very strong article, right here; and…it's an unsettled…area of the law.
 
Then, today the Washington Post…comes out with a…big story; and…uh…Ted Cruz is not eligible to be President. Now, I don't know! What do I know!? But I can tell you this: the Democrats are gonna bring a suit; and you can't run…unless you're going to be…what…? …how can you run like that? You don't even know! Because a lot of people…a lot of people think…a lot of people think, that it's going to be a very, very…difficult thing to…win that case. We'll have to find out! But…and I'm doing it for the party; I'm doing it for the Ted; you go…you go in, you ask for declaratory judgment; and you…ask the court for a ruling! And then you can run! But…you know, you have to be careful! It would be terrible…if you go down all the way down the line, then you find out because of the fact that you were born in Canada; you know, a lot of people say that natural-born means you have to be born to the land. And…uh…you know, on the…on the land, in this country. So we'll have to see. We're gonna have to see. But it is certainly a complicating factor. And I…I’ve…hope it works out! I mean, I…I do. I wanna win it. I think I’m gonna win it anyway! But I wanna win it very much on the merits…and I don't want to win it on technicalities…but that's more than a technicality; that is a big, big factor. So we'll see what happens on that.
 
Uh…just one other thing. So we have a debate coming up. Is anybody…? Is anybody gonna watch it or you're gonna watch wrestling that night? You have a wrestling match that night, fellas? …–MR. TRUMP ADDRESSES THE WRESTLING TEAM IN THE ROOM. Huh? Thursday night…you’re wrestling…? I'd rather watch you wrestling frankly…–MR. TRUMP GIGGLES. THE CROWD CHEERS. But you know, the debates have been amazing. And I've never debated before. I created jobs; I created a great, great company; uh…had a lot of success in everything I've done; and I've had a lot of fun! And frankly, I didn't know about this…they even have polls on debates…–MR. TRUMP SHOWS SOME STATISTICS IN A PAPER. So they pulled all of the debates; and every single poll I've won! But…here’s Drudge, he’s a fantastic guy: ‘Trump’, last debate, forty-six percent. Time Magazine…I like it now, because they finally wrote a great story about me. Forty-nine percent. Slate, 51 percent. US News and World Report, sixty-nine percent said I won! No, think of that! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I mean, I don't know them! I don't own it! PBS, Public Broadcasting, sixty-nine percent. Here! …–MR. TRUMP SHOWS A PAPER WITH INFORMATION. See this small name up there? …–CROWD LAUGHS. Sixty-nine percent. Uh…all of these things…Washington Times, sixty-two percent. CBS Philadelphia, fifty-nine percent. These are people calling in. FOX News, 50…sixty-two percent! These are people calling in “who won the debate”. And I think it's fantastic! I mean, they say…; now we have another one coming up. And…uh…I enjoy it! I mean, I didn't know how I was gonna like to debate, but I enjoy it! And all I'm doing is trying to get the idea across…that…we have to be strong; we have to be powerful; we have to rebuild our military, and hopefully never use it!
 
You know, it's like these guys…–MR. TRUMP REFERS TO THE WRESTLING TEAM. The stronger, the tougher, the better you are…people aren't gonna be picking on you the same way, right? We're like…right now we're being picked on! We’re being picked on! …–CROWD CHEERS  AND APPLAUDS.
 
General Odierno just left, and he said that the…readiness of the army is the worst that has been, that he's ever seen, and the worst that most people have seen for many, many generations! I mean, we have to have the strongest! This has to be the strongest now! And you don't think the enemy hears him saying it…?  He…I frankly, he shouldn't even be saying it. You know, he's…leaving…; but I wish you wouldn't say a statement like that. How come my generals are always on television!? They're always on television…talking to these people! …–MR. TRUMP POINTS TO THE CAMERAS. They’re always…I don't want our generals on television! I want our generals to be like generals! Do you think that George Patton…did sit-downs with anchors…? …and said, “here's the way we're gonna do the war: we're gonna attack from behind, and then we're gonna do….”. This is crazy! I promise you my generals will never be on television, okay? So…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…they're not gonna be.
 
That's a little like Obama. Obama…we should have never been in Iraq, and I came out in 2003, 2004…said, “don't go in Iraq…”, and I'm the most militaristic person in this room. I said, “don't go into Iraq, because you're gonna destabilize”, because…Iran and Iraq would fight. It's like two guys…fight, fight, fight! They were equal militarily. And they go 10 feet this way, 10 feet that way, 10 foot…–MR. TRUMP SHOWS WITH HIS FISTS. Then they rested. Then Saddam Hussein would drop some gas, and everybody would complain; and then fight; and they go back and forth; and…they go back. After years, you know, they take two years of rest. Then they start fighting again. What the hell are we doing!? And I said, “if you knock out one or the other of those two powers”, which we’re very capable of doing, quickly…; “…if you knock it out, the other one's gonna take over!”. And in this case, we knocked out Iraq…big mistake, we destabilize the entire Middle East.
 
But now Obama has it. And instead of staying there with a small force…he said, “we're leaving”; and “we're leaving on a certain date”, and he gave the date. He said exactly when we're leaving. So now the enemy…I couldn't believe it! I was saying…you know, I'm a strategist! I'm the one that wrote about Osama bin Laden in my book before the World Trade Center came down. Everyone said, “how did you know that!?”. Because I saw him. I was watching him and reading about him making horrible statements about us. And I said to myself, “I hope we're gonna take this guy out”. We didn't take him out. And actually, Bill Clinton…had their sights on him, and for some reason they didn't pull the trigger! If they pulled the trigger, you'd probably have the World Trade Center the way it used to be! Okay? And…and…by the way, most importantly, with all the thousands of lives that have been lost, and affected so gravely…!
 
So we have to be smart. And here's…what I…just read. And I read this and I…it’s somehow related it…and…it was…sort of an amazing thing. And I'm gonna read it to you. Al Wilson, the late great; does anyone know Al Wilson? Singer. He wrote this little thing about the snake! Right? The snake. So we have…a little situation that could be a Trojan horse. You look at what's happening in Germany, in Cologne. Cologne never had a problem. Cologne, Germany. Okay? Everything's fine! Everything's nice! Clean, beautiful, no problem! Now they're having riots; they're having rapes; they’re having…that they never…; the New Year's Eve has…have you heard about the New Year's Eve? It was like a disaster. And the German people are gonna riot! The German people are gonna end up overthrowing this woman. I don't know what the hell she's thinking! But they have millions of people pouring into Germany…! …and now they're not stopping them; now I guess they're gonna have to stop them because the German people aren't gonna put up. And…we wanna have them coming…leaders wanna have…I don't think you wanna have…! …people are coming in from the migration, from Syria. And when you look at that migration…it's very unusual. When I look at I say…I…see so many men! And they’re young! They look like they should be on the wrestling team!
 
And…they're young, and they're strong…!? And you don't see that many women; you don't see that many children…it’s sort of a weird deal. It's the migration. But you see all these young strong people, and they're mostly men; and I say, “what's going on!?”. I noticed that, in all fairness, this is like old lose now. I noticed that…3, 4 months ago you know, when it all started! And I said, “what's going on!?”. And…who knows what it is!? You know, the famous Trojan horse. I mean, is this a Trojan horse? I doubt it! But it could very well be. And…they don't have paperwork; they have no documentation…whatsoever! They have no documentation! And then we're bringing them into this country. We don't know who they are. And you look at what happens in California; and you look at some of the things that happen…including, by the way, flying airplanes into the World Trade Center. Why are we doing this?
 
Build a safe zone in Syria. Get the Gulf states, who have a tremendous amount of money…; I mean, Saudi Arabia was making a billion dollars a day before the oil went down. So now they're making half, okay? They're making a lot! Get them to pay! They're not paying. The other ones aren't paying. We're paying. We always pay. We’re the sucker. We’re the sucker! We're like the stupid sucker! And we're not gonna pay anymore for all this stuff. And, anybody that comes in, if I win, they going back out; we're gonna do it humanly and everything, but they going back out. We don't know where they are. We don't know who they are; where they come from!
 
And we've already had some. You saw the couple that came in from Iraq…? …where they were already planning different things? One in California, one in Houston…I believe. And they're planning things. No, we don't need it. We had enough problems, folks! We got enough problems. We got enough problems.
 
So I…I…I read this the other day, and I said, “wow! That's really amazing! That's really incredible!”.
And…it's…uh…the snake lyric:
 
“On her way to work one morning,
down the path along the lake,
a tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake” …interesting.
“His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew,
‘Oh well’, she cried, ‘I'll take you in, and I'll take care of you!’
‘Take me in oh tender woman’,
‘Take me in for heaven's sake’,
‘Take me in oh tender woman’, sighed, the vicious snake.
 
She wrapped him up cozy in a curvature of silk,
and then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk,
Now she hurried home from work and that night as soon as she arrived,
She found that pretty snake she’d taken and revived
‘Take me in, oh tender woman’
‘Take me in for heaven's sake’
‘Take me in, oh tender woman’, sighed the vicious snake.
 
Now she clutched him to her bosom, ‘you're so beautiful’, she cried
‘But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died’
She stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight,
But instead of saying thank you, that snake gave her a vicious bite,
 
‘Take me in oh tender woman’,
‘Take me in for heaven's sake’,
‘Take me in oh tender woman’, sighed the vicious snake.
‘I saved you!’, cried the woman,
‘And you've bit me’, heavens why?
‘You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die’,
‘Oh, shut up silly woman’, said the reptile with a grin
‘You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in’”.
 
Does that make sense to anybody!? …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Does that make any sense? Does that make sense? I mean, you know…and…and hopefully that's not gonna be the case. But it's…pretty…and I read it, and I just sort of put it together. We have no idea what we're doing. We have no idea who we're taking in. And we better be careful. Okay.

So…here's the story. We're not winning anymore. We don't win. We don't win at trade; we don't win a war; we can't beat ISIS; we can't beat anybody. We don't win! Our boat’s got take…was taking a little while ago, right!? I mean…you know, again, I imagine they're giving them back! I mean, we just gave 150 billion dollars! They'll probably say, “how much you're gonna give us if give you back…?”. I guess there are like 10 sailors or more. But that's the way we do it. We give 150 billion dollars…we get nothing!We get nothing. They still have our prisoners. Instead of saying “we want our prisoners before we start negotiating” and double up the sanctions…you would have the prisoners in about two minutes. But we don't do that. Because we're led by people that don't have a clue. We're led…by…people…that…don't…have…a clue! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And we don't have victories anymore. We don't have victories anymore. When do you see us having…? When did we beat China in trade? When do we beat Japan in trade? When do we beat ISIS? DID you ever hear a good story…? “We are winning with ISIS…; we are winning!”. You don't hear that! We don't win! We don't win! We don't win ever! What was the last time we had a victory!? We don't have victories anymore! We lose on trade. We lose on healthcare; Obamacare is a disaster. We lose on every single aspect…of our life…with these politicians! Other…countries…have people that are much smarter and much more sophisticated; and frankly, it's a word that's an important word; they’re much more cunning than our politicians. You look at Mexico, what they're doing on the border. And…you don't think they're sending people over? What do we have to take care of them for? “Let the stupid United States take care of them”. They call us stupid. Okay?
 
Kate gets killed. Shot in the back, in San Francisco. Men was over here five times. Who do you think sent him back? You think he just kept coming back for himself? He came back! Probably they’re it hat one…I don't know! Maybe not, maybe! But why do they wanna have him in jail for the rest of his life for, and take care? “We'll send him to the United States”. Jamiel! This wonderful young man. The father's a friend of mine. Jamiel Shaw. Just an amazing guy. The father's an amazing guy. His son, shot in the face. As he's walking into his house. Loved his father…and…father loved him…the family love this kid…beyond…I mean, they can never be…they can never ever…come back from that. Just vicious. Shot right in the face. Purposely! Stood there, boom, boom, boom. Three bullets. And…the father heard the sound and he said, “oh no, god, my god!”, cause he just spoke to his son, he said, “I'll be home right away”; and he heard the bullets right outside the house.
 
And the woman killed, very recently. A veteran, 65-year-old veteran. Raped, sodomized, and killed by…an illegal immigrant. And we treat illegal immigrants better than we treat our vets! Remember that! Our vets aren't treated properly. Our vets are our greatest people. Our wounded warriors, and our vets…and we don't even treat them well! But the illegal immigrants…you see what's going on!? I mean, in California, they wanna take over the city council! They wanna now run for office! They’re were legal immigrants! I don't know what the hell's gonna happen…but the concept of it! Even…I mean, what's going on is absolutely insane. And we're gonna change it!
 
So we don't win any more, but we're gonna start winning, and we're gonna start winning big leagu. We're gonna make our country rich again. A woman came up to me and I said that, recently, at a big rally. I said, “we’re gonna make our country rich again”. She said, “Mr. Trump, I'm such a fan of yours. I'm voting for you, it doesn't matter. But that doesn't sound nice when you say make us rich again”. I said, “you know, ma'am, we owe…19 trillion dollars. We just made one of the dumbest…budget deals that I've ever seen” …I don't even know, do the Republicans have anybody negotiating? Okay, you know what I'm talking about, two weeks ago. I mean, Obama got everything. You know, Obama is a lousy negotiator, except when it comes to negotiating with the Republicans, right? He's a good negotiator with the Republicans! Every country kicks our ass…but with the Republicans, he's…like a great negotiator. It's so slow. Oh, that won't happen…! Well, in my case…there won't be Obama, we can do it right from the top; because it all starts…remember this, it all starts…from the top-down. It all starts from the top-down…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So…so we're going to have…a country that you're gonna be so proud of! I mean, there are so many different things! When you look at those phony employment numbers, where they say; “we're down to 5.2, and 5.3, and 5.1” …it’s all nonsense! If you're looking for a job and you give up, because you can't find one, statistically you are…you're considered employed! We have millions, and millions of people out there that want jobs! The other thing about the recent numbers…phony numbers…was put…that was developed, that system, for the benefit of politicians, to make them look better; because it bears no relationship to the fact! Do you think I'd have these crowds…and do you think I'd have this kind of support…and be getting 42, and 45, and 39, and all these high percentages against all of these people…if…things were good!? And frankly, I wish things were good! Cause I love my life. I mean, I love my company; I love my family; I don't need to do this! This is a hard thing! You know, I'm going all over! I love Iowa, but, you know…I could be home watching something tonight, right? I won't be watching the speech, but these are minor details! …–CROWD LAUGHS. Won't be watching the press. Actually, I probably would…–CROWD APPLAUDS. Nah! I probably will. Probably! We gotta watch! You gotta watch! You gotta see what the hell's going on, cause he doesn't know, so somebody has to…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So…you look at…as an example, radical Islamic terrorism. We have a president that refuses…to say…the words. And…I don't know! Is he stubborn…!? What's the…what's wrong!? When people kill people, and they they announce that that's what they're doing it for…and it goes on, and on, and on…and it's…you know, it’s not us, all over the world! …and at some point you would think that he would say, “okay, we have a problem; let's…let’s get to the bottom of it”. And you can't get to the bottom of a problem…unless…you…are…willing to address the problem! And…he…is…not…willing to address the problem! And he's never gonna get there! And we’ll address the problem! And I have friends…I have Muslim friends they’re incredible people! And I'll tell you what: a couple of them…very, very high level. Very rich, very good people…even though they're rich. But very, very good people. And some that aren't rich. And they've said to me, “you've done a tremendous service by doing this! Because we do have a problem; There’s tremendous hatred…! For whatever reason!”. I mean, when you see somebody willing to walk into a room, and start shooting…; Now, of course…you know, they always walk into rooms where there are no guns. Did you ever notice it!? Like the military base. They walk at gun-free zone on a military base. We have five great soldiers, one of whom is a world-class expert on…marksmanship; one of the great shots, one of the great marksman. They're told to put down their guns a hundred yards away. It's a gun-free zone. Now when a sicko…hears a gun-free zone, when these sick people hear gun…that's like candy! That's like I want a piece of apple pie! They walk in, we have five unbelievable brave great soldiers…that are dead now, because they look for gun-free zones!
 
So we have to be careful with it! We have to be careful! Now these guys had the guns…number one, they wouldn't have been there. He wouldn't have been there. Number two, if he was…he was gonna get blown away, which would have been fine. The other thing, I tell the press all the time…; I mean, they make people…like…you know, they make them like…they…the…they make them…they glamorize it! They call this thug in Paris “the mastermind”. Did you hear them all say…? “The mastermind…!”. What's the mastermind…? He's a guy with a very low IQ, I guarantee. I call him the guy with the dirty hat. Because he had this horrible, disgusting, filthy hat on. And…I said to the press! And they don't use the term anymore…! I think if I did one thing…they're not use it! Because…our children…are being radicalized, in many cases by ISIS and others…; they're using the internet better than us, and we're the ones that invented it! And they're radicalized. I mean, they're taking kids, and they're going in there, fighting for ISIS; and then we allow people back! How about this!? They go, they fight for ISIS, and then we let them come back!? And somebody said, “well, there's no law…that allows us to keep them…”. Are you crazy!? Are you crazy!?
 
So they fight for us…some day they won't go! They'll just fight here. They don't wanna go! Why should they go over to Syria? Why should they go over to Iraq and fight, when they can stay right here and fight? So why do we allow people we know they're ISIS…and we come right in? How we let them come back!? It's insane!
 
So I just wanna tell you…that…it's a special place. I love Iowa, we're gonna do so great. We're gonna win; and we're gonna start winning. We're gonna win so much…that…you people are gonna get sick and tired of winning. You are gonna say, “please…I can't take it anymore! I can't take it anymore…!” …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Yeah!
 
We're gonna win with the military. And we're gonna win with healthcare. And we're gonna win against…all these countries that have been ripping us off for years! We're gonna win with trade. We're gonna have the smartest people. Right now we have political hacks. They’re political hacks. They’re nothing! I know a lot of these guys…? They…they can't find their way through their own front door. They’re political hacks! And they get the jobs because they gave campaign contributions to these politicians that I'm running against…including, and I'm talking on both sides. So we're gonna start winning; it's gonna be a beautiful thing to see; we're gonna make America great again; you're gonna be so…proud…of this country; and you're gonna be so…proud of your president. And I love you…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I love you all! I wanna thank you. I love you all.
 
Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you everybody.
Thank you!
