Wow. That's a lot of beautiful people.
 
Now, the only thing I told Scott, you have to do me one favor. I’ll do it, but if we have me one favor, I'll do it. But if we have the biggest crowd you've ever had…even though we're in the middle of the worst snowstorm. I have…we don't have snowstorms like this in New York…–CROWD LAUGHS. But this is one beautiful…I may not be out of here! know, I'm supposed to be lifting off. You know, I'm supposed to be lifting off…I don't think the plane is gonna be, lifting off very soon. But…I said, “the one thing you have to do for me, you have to announce that it’s the biggest crowd you've ever had.

So…–INAUDIBLE said, absolutely by far…–MR. TRUMP IS INTERRUPTED BY THE HOST WHO SAYS THEY WILL HELP DONALD FLY BACK–… “you might…you may have to go”. So now, we know. It's the biggest crowd. So I'm happy about that, okay? …–CROWD CHEERS. It's the biggest. And well…look at all the people up there! Wow! That's that's amazing! This is a great facility, and a great owner. Thank you. And thank you very much. Really nice.
 
So…the first thing I have to do, cuz he's a friend of mine…; he's an amazing guy! An amazing champion! And a really nice person. Tom Brady. Come on Tom! You gotta win Tom! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Okay? You gotta win! He's a great champion. He’s a fantastic guy; and…I could tell you so many stories about him. But as good as he is as a player, he's that way as a person too; and…he's a little bit injured, but…him being injured he's still better than anybody. And you have the best coach; and you have the best owner; and…you get…it really…uh…a special group. So hopefully good luck today.
 
I was thinking about…just to see if you're really ‘Trump’ fans. I was gonna keep you here beyond four o'clock. So…we'll all…–CROWD LAUGHS–…right? I was gonna keep you like a little on…nah! We'll be out of here very quick. In fact, we're gonna make this very quick. Cuz if I don't make it quick, I'm definitely not going to be able to lift off! All right, Scott?
 
So…this journey began…and…uh…June. And…nobody had any idea it was going to…be like this. I've been now on the cover of Time Magazine so many times over the last…uh…few months; it's been incredible. And the last one, last week’s Time cover. I loved the story. I just thought the story was so well written, and so professionally written; without any barbs…you know, normally, and Scott knows this very well, even when we get the right stories…these people in the back…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS–…have to take a shot. It's always like…you know, you'll have two good paragraphs, and then a kill! And then…three good ones and a kill! And in the end, the story's lousy, because the kills…they…uh…you know, they're bigger than the good ones. But this Time Magazine story, it really describes what's happened with the campaign. It's been an amazing thing!
 
And the Wall Street Journal today has…uh…it has an incredible article…about the debate. The debate! And…myself and the debate. And a lot of people have the articles; and a lot of people have…put out really nice things as to what happened in the debate, and we're very happy with the end result. And…you know, I've been having somebody been following me along, and being very nice, no matter what I said, he was very, very nice. And I kept saying, “you know, I'm a professional”. Like, “this man's a professional” …–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT PEOPLE ON HIS RIGHT AND LEFT–… like, “this man's a professional”. I'm a professional. I kept saying, “when's Ted Cruz gonna say something bad? Come on Ted! You've been saying….; Come on Ted, say…!”. But he kept saying good, good, good. And I'm just waiting…and I'm saying good…; because a lot of people do not like Ted, to put it mildly; And…I kept saying, “what…?” …am I the only person that thinks she's a nice guy? So as it turned out, you know, he finally went off the wagon a little bit, and went a little crazy…–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
And…and it's very…I mean, he's being a great hypocrite; when you think that…you know, he talks about he's gonna be Robin Hood; he's protecting…; then he finds out that on his person…personal disclosure form, he didn't disclose that he's borrowing a lot of money from Goldman Sachs. He said, “oh…uh…well, he forgot!”. And then, so…that, he forgot about Goldman Sachs. But then today they have another story, where he forgot another bank: Citibank. And he forgot.
 
Now, how do you control Citibank…? …and how do you control…? And right fairly…! Right fairly…about Citibank about Goldman Sachs; about these big powerful banks; you’re senator…and yet you owe them money with a personal guarantee. I don't think it works that way. So he obviously didn't want the voters to know that he is totally controlled, lock, stock and barrel…by Citibank and by…by Goldman Sachs. And…I think that's very hypocritical, I'll be honest with you. I think it's very, very hypocritical…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And then he spoke badly about the…people of New York, really, cause…you know, cities are cities, but they're basically people! They're brick and mortar and they're people! And he spoke very disparagingly about the people of New York…and I've been with the people of New York for a long time, but when the World Trade Center came down…I watched these incredible people…rebuild…from the day…it came down! Literally…they were there; when other buildings…in the surrounding area, they thought were going to fall…; and you had people working, trying to help…the most horrific sites you've ever seen, trying to help, do whatever they could. And I was there when we actually thought the U.S. Steel Building was coming down, and I'll never forget…that…I was standing next to these two massive wonderful firemen; and…we heard a screech, like a screech…steel on steel; and it was a couple of days after the buildings and I was down there, with…we had a crew of people that…you know, to help! I mean, it's…what they needed a lot of help. I've never seen anything like I saw. And they heard a screech! And everybody thought that the U.S. Steel Building was coming down. And…it was not so far from us. And…these two guys; they were massive guys! Two…really…big big…cuz I'm a big guy! And they grabbed me…I must tell you, honestly? …I never knew I could run that fast…–CROWD LAUGHS. I’d…; but they were running just as fast, and they had my arms…and they were…; we were just running, and…; these are incredible people! And…when you think, firemen coming in from Long Island; And other parts of New York. You know, you’re talking about insulting 20, 25 million people, if you…you know, talk about the area; where they drove in, they heard about it, and firemen, and driving in, that had nothing to do with it…from Long Island, and other parts. And by the way, driving in, and coming in from Iowa. And from all over the country! We had fire departments from Iowa coming in. It was so…it was…the one thing, it was so incredible to see and to witness. And people coming in from all over. But firemen coming in during the blaze; they knew that building was in serious trouble. And they got there. They come through the tunnels, and up; and they stopped; and they run. They run into the buildings, and they're running up the stairs. And they knew…it could collapse. Everybody knew it could collapse. And…the building's coming down. First building. Second building. And you’ve people running up the stairs as that's happening. And Ted Cruz…criticizes New York, and the people of New York…is a disgrace. I think it's a total disgrace…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. A total disgrace.
 
So…I just…you know, I had to say it. So I thought what he said was very, very, very sad. And even during the debate…you know, he said, “well, the poll numbers…”. I mean, I've been going up in the polls…; I’ve been going up since…Scott will tell you, essentially since I went out! Don't forget, they kept using the word ‘plateau’. First week I was at six! And all of the pundits said, “well, he's plateaued! He's got a six…”. Next week I hit twelve. Then I hit fourteen. Then I hit 18, or whatever the numbers may have been. And the next week I hit like seventeen, and then twenty…; and every week it was, “well, he plateaued!”. Then I got up to around twenty-four, twenty-five, and they said… “yeah, this isn't good!” …–CROWD LAUGHS. And then last week, a couple of polls had me at forty-two. Forty-two percent! Forty-two! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. That’s pretty good, right!? Don't forget, that's forty-two, and at that time I think they had like 15 people. Now they're rapidly dropping out, and I think probably…after Iowa, or New Hampshire, there's gonna be a lot of people leave.
 
But…you know, when you have forty two, and you have fourteen or fifteen people that they're talking about, that's a tremendous…percentage. I'd take that if we had three, right? If they had three, I would take the 42. But we certainly take it when we have 15 people.
 
So…it's been an amazing…it's been an amazing run. And…I've really…enjoyed it. The people say to me, you know, “what have you learned?”. And one of the things I learned…Scott, and you probably learned this too, I hope you have, because to me it's been a great experience. I've been written about…very falsely, and the public gets it. They really understand it. Some guy the other day on television said, and they'll say things that are so unbelievable. I supported very heavily John McCain, he lost. It's okay. I supported Mitt Romney, he lost. I thought John McCain's…you know, was a tough fight, because the economy was not exactly too good. And I think that would have been a tough…; I'm not sure that Abraham Lincoln could have won that one, right? But…Mitt Romney, and I would have thought that he could have won. We had a failing president, I think that's one that…should have been won, and…for some reason it wasn't. But I supported these two guys. But I supported very heavily in a way, I supported John McCain; raised a lot of money for him; I was on his committees, everything else.
 
And I had this guy, this really dopey guy, I was watching last night, Bill O'Reilly, who's a great guy. But this dopey guy…–CROWD LAUGHS BECAUSE THE WAY MR. TRUMP HAS STRUCTURED THE SENTENCE LEADS TO BELIEVE HE’S INSULTED MR. RILEY–…no, no I'm not talking about Bill. This dopey guy, Glenn Beck, he looks like hell…–CROWD BOOS. No, he's like a dope! And…and you know, I've watched him cry on television all the time. He's doing very badly. His thing is falling apart. His company is falling apart. I see him on television…I actually call Bill O'Reilly. I said, “Bill, what do you have a guy like that on television!?”. FOX fired him, and then he goes out, does this thing, we heard he was doing, well he's not; But he's done…; and the thing that bothered me…he said, “Donald Trump voted for Barack Obama”. Me!? And here's the problem: the good thing about having a large microphone…is that we can at least explain to people, that these people lie they lie so much! The reason he doesn't like me is cause I didn't do his show. He asked me so many times, “do my show!”. And I didn't do it because I don't respect him. I did it because…I…no, I'm so busy! I couldn't do his show. This was a quite a while ago. I couldn't do a show, and just timewise! And then…all of a sudden enough time goes by; and I understand that! So he started hitting me and that was the end of that. But the guy goes on television, last night with O’Riley and says that I voted for Barack Obama. And I'm on John McCain's committee; raised a…tremendous amount of money for John McCain! Had dinner with John McCain, and his wife…very, you know, right before the election. And I gotta listen to this idiot named Glenn Beck saying I was for Bar…Obama…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY.
 
And I say…you know, it’s…it's sort of interesting; most people wouldn't bring it up, most people don't even see it; but it's sort of a good thing to bring up if you can If you can’t…have the experience of talking to people…; cause some people see something like that and they believe it! There's nobody to refute them. “Do you agree with that?” …–MR. TRUMP TALKS TO MR. SCOTT TO HIS RIGHT SIDE–… “you get it”. I like to bring it up because, you know, he can say other things and you don't bother, you don't wanna waste time; all you do is make him a little bit bigger. But he's a failed guy! But you know, I like to bring it up, because I like to let people know. It's so dishonest out there with the media! It's so dishonest! So…we like to do that.
 
The thing that I've learned more than anything else is how smart the public is. How caring the public is. And…you know, when I fill up stadiums; I fill up places, it's incredible…like, today! I mean, look at all these people in the snowstorm. It's…it's an amazing thing. They're doing it because…you know, my theme is ‘Make America Great Again’, and…what…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…that's it. It's very simple! It's ‘Make America Great Again’. And…a very simple, but…very factual. That's what we're gonna do; we're gonna make it great again. And I actually say it, because after…you know, I didn't say it at the beginning, but I go to Dallas…we have got twenty…twenty-one thousand people; Mobile, Alabama, had 35,000 people; we had in Oklahoma, 20,000 people…; when I go to New Hampshire, I have…you guys know, I have the biggest crowds by far. In Lowell, we filled out that arena, we had to send away 7,000 people! …which…still…I'm gonna go back, we're gonna take care of those 7,000 people. I felt badly! But…you know, that big arena, which people don't even use, because you can't fill it up! We not only filled it up, we had to send away 7,000 people.
 
But…whether it's New Hampshire, or Iowa…South Carolina; we're doing so well! And…and the reason is…because people…really want hope! There's no hope with these people that we have…running for office…except for him, of course…–MR. TRUMP POINTS TO MR. SCOTT ON HIS RIGHT SIDE. But…but he's…the reason he's not in is because maybe they gave up on hope. And here's a good man, by the way. This is…I hope you're gonna do it again. “Are you gonna do it again!?”. I hope! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We gotta look something…we gotta get him back! And we're losing our good ones! We…we're keeping the bad ones, we're losing our good ones! But he'll…get…him…the right things is gonna happen, and…we'll be behind him 100 percent. We have to re…because…–MEMBER IN THE CROWD YELLS SOMETHING ABOUT MAKING HIM THE VICE PRESIDENT. MR. TRUMP LAUGHS AND RECASTS IT–… “he…Vice-president” …hey, that sounds like a…Hey! Hey! …–MR. TRUMP NOW POINTS AT MR. SCOTT TO SEE HOW PEOPLE REACT TO THAT STATEMENT. THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS LOUDLY.  Very good! …central…hey, and you know what? And he’s central casting. Look at that guy! Central casting! Ah, he’s great. A great guy, and a great…beautiful…great wife and family. So…so important.
 
So…what I have seen is the level of…of enthusiasm; and the…brilliance of the people! The people…as a unit! It's so…the people is so smart! They really, really get it. And frankly, if they didn't get it…they wouldn't be…they wouldn't be showing up in these massive numbers, cuz I think…you'd agree Scott, this is like a movement. I got a call from one of the top writers. And…he…he's a liberal writer, but, you know that's all right. We can get those calls every once in a while; we don't wanna take too many of them. But he said to me, and this was three months ago, but the summer had…you know, sort of ended; and…we were doing really well; and they called it ‘the summer of Trump’. And he said, “could I ask you a question? How does it feel?”.
 
I said, “how does what feel?”.
 
He said, “how does it feel. You've dominated everything. The whole conversations about what you are…and about what you're saying, more importantly! How does it feel?”.
 
I said, “doesn’t feel anything”. To me, unless I win…what difference does it make?
 
He said, “no, no. It matters, because you've changed politics as we know it”.
 
I said, “no, no, you're wrong. If I don't win, it doesn't matter”. And when I say I don't win, I mean the top…; because otherwise, all of these things, whether, it's the strength of the border…; whether it's… any of the other things; the deals…the horrible deals that we make; the trade deals that we have! Putting the right people in place…; I mean, China is making five…hundred…; you look at we have a trade deficit this year…; with China, five…hundred…billion dollars! Not gonna happen…! …if I'm running things. Not gonna happen!
 
So…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So…essentially, I said…and I…I respect he said…; cause, ‘the summer of Trump’; then he said, “and it's ‘the autumn of Trump’”, because I spoke to him, recently. I said, “still doesn't matter, it only matters if we win”, because…I can…you know, look at all these beautiful…headlines; and today the…the editorial of the Wall Street Journal; The Wall Street Journal was really…nice today, and they talked about the debate, and the different things, and they were very nice…; but it all doesn't matter unless we win, because unless we win…we can't put the right things into gear. And I deal with the politicians. And they're all talk, and they’re no action. When I say “build a wall”, they don't even know what the hell I'm talking about. They don't know where to build…–CROWD LAUGHS. No, they don’t…they really don't know…they don't even…have a clue. And when I say the different elements that I say it very strongly, they they don't know. For instance… “who's gonna pay for the wall?” …–CROWD YELLS ‘MEXICO!’. Mexico is gonna pay for the wall. They're gonna pay. Remember! Remember I said it. They're gonna pay for the wall.
 
The politicians come up to me…on the dais…a couple of them! Nice people, I get along actually with most of them; and they say that, “Mexico won't pay for the wall”. I said, “of course they will”. Every business person in here knows what I'm talking about. Because they make so much money off the United States. Does…the businesspeople get it? Do you guys know what I mean? The politicians… I'll bet this guy does, right? …–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEBODY SPECIFICALLY. It's called…hey! …if you're making many billions more than the cost of the war, they're gonna pay. They're gonna pay! Nabisco is moving to Mexico. Ford moving to Mexico. Many, many companies…moving to Mexico. They're gonna pay! A 100 percent! Not like ninety-nine point…they're gonna pay! A hundred percent! Now, maybe in different forms…? You know, you have to have flexibility. Because maybe they won't wanna do it one way…; then we'll do it the other way…; if they don't wanna do it…; they'll do it…! And we'll get along with them better! We'll get along with him better than they get along with them right now! Cause right now they take advantage of us.
 
I know Mexico very well. I have thousands of…Mexico, people from Mexico, and Hispanic employees. Tens of thousands over the years. Tens of thousands! They're fantastic people. They're unbelievable people! But…the…leaders…are too smart, for our leaders. And they're too cunning. It's an important word, ‘cunning’. They're too cunning. And what's happening at the border is a disgrace. It’s a disgrace. The whole thing is a total disgrace.
 
Do you know…in Mexico…? …it's probably the hardest, but one of the hardest systems…; if Scott…and his beautiful family wanna become citizens of Mexico, which is…unlikely…I think you're very happy in New Hampshire…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT MR. SCOTT. THE CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY–…it will be impossible for that to happen. Okay? Impossible! Impossible! Here we have people go through, and…they…you know, walk in, and…essentially…they might as well be citizens, because the illegal immigrants…are treated better than our Vets! They're treated better…I'm telling you! …–CROWD APPLAUDS. They're treated better than our Vets. And Scott knows! I mean, I had a friend that went to Mexico, and he was there…he's there for like a week; and he was there with his family, and he was…an extra day, or two days, because he had a problem with transportation. And they get called by the guards! “when are you leaving?”.
 
“Oh, why…are we leaving?”.
“Well, you had a pass today…”.
 
By the way, they're right! It's not the wrong thing! With us, it's, “when are you leaving? How about in 25 years I'm gonna leave? Okay? I'll leave when I want!” …–CROWD LAUGHS.
 
We have our Border Patrol people, who actually called me. They wanted to meet me; and I met with them in Laredo, Texas. These are incredible people, they wanna do the job! They're said, “stand back!”. They're told: “Stand back. Don't do it. Stand back”. These are people that can do the job! And they're told to stand back.
 
So…we are going to have…an amazing country again. We have a great country, but we're gonna make it so much better! We're gonna make it so much sharper! We're not gonna be the stupid people anymore! We're not gonna have leaders that are incompetent! They don't know what they…have done. I guarantee you. I talked about so much the prisoners, with the Iran deal, where we give 150 billion dollars…and then they treat…those sailors…! …like…did anybody get sick at watching that scene!? …–CROWD YELLS ‘YES!’. Think of it. You…–MR. TRUMP POINTS TO MR. SCOTT–…I know you, you would have gotten totally sick! I wouldn't have wanted to call you then. Sick and angry! We…you know, when people said…somebody they were saying the other day, “Trump is angry”. Of course I'm angry! I wanna be angry! Who's not angry!? And you know, they wanted me to say, “no, I'm really not angry. I'm…I’m…wound up. I’m…so happy with the way that the country is a mess”. I am angry! I am angry! I won't be angry for long, because when I fix it, I'm gonna be very happy! But right now…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Thank you!
 
But right now I am angry. But think of the scene! You have these ten…sailors. I don't know what happened…; they…went…I guess it sounded like they took a little shortcut through a big body of water. Okay? Big deal…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. And they get…locked in! And…they're dropped to their knees, in a begging position. Hands up guns to their heads. And…this is supposed to be our ally. And trust me, trust me folks. In this…one of the stupidest deals ever made; which by the way, won't do a thing in terms of nuclear…other than maybe…proliferate, okay? You're gonna have more…because other people now are talking about getting it…; because this deal is so bad.
 
We've made a terror nation a very rich nation. More importantly we've given them Iraq, we've handed them…they've been trying to get Iraq forever! As far back as you can go in time…they've wanted Iraq. And Iraq has…by the way, people don't know, the second-largest oil reserves in the world. So not only did Iran get this deal, but they got Iraq…cour…courtesy of the United States. Now they've taken over Yemen; and the reason they want Yemen…let's take a look at the border with Saudi Arabia! It is a long beautiful border right along Saudi Arabia. Cause they wanna go get that oil too. I mean, what Iran has done is incredible. But…a hundred and fifty billion dollars…; I have been mentioning this so much. And I guarantee you, the United States has been putting so much pressure… “please, give us our prisoners back. Please, please, please…”. This should have been done three, four years ago…when the deal was done. Before the deal was made…and this is a world's longest deal…! …they should have said, we want our prisoners back”.
 
Now the reason, and what's happening…the reason they let the boat…the sailors go, is because in two days they were getting 150 billion dollars! And these are smart people! They're not gonna say, “well, we're gonna keep the same…”; they had to get…they had to get the money…so they let them go. I guarantee you Scott, that of that money weren't in play…? …they would have kept those sailors. A 100 percent. They would have kept them. Just like they kept the four people. Now, I have to see what the deal is for the four people. Because somebody said, “we're getting…” …they're getting…seven people back! So essentially they get a hundred and fifty billion plus seven, and…we get four. Meh! …doesn't sound too good. Doesn't sound too good. But we have to see, because this I just heard about this an hour ago. But…and I'm happy they're coming back; but I will tell you, it's a disgrace that they've been there for so long. It's a disgrace. Remember that. A total disgrace…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
So when we started, just to finish, and then Scott and I will talk for a couple of minutes. But when we started…it really worked, and very importantly, it really started off as trade and border…and this and that…; we had Paris, and then all of a sudden it started looking like this whole situation; it was taking…a very, very deep, and dark…; it was becoming a very deep and dark picture. And…all of a sudden, CNN did the first poll. You know, in all fairness… they're back there…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS. I don't wanna give them any unnecessary credit. It's not like they treat me great. But they do these polls, and the polls, I guess they're legit with their polls, because ‘Trump’ is always winning in the polls, right? …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So I like them.
 
But they said…you've seen this guy, “who wins on security?”, ‘Trump’. “Who wins at the border?”, ‘Trump’. “Who wins in the economy?”, ‘Trump’, by so much. And by the way, I don't mean ‘Trump’ like ‘Trump’ gets…you know, a point where ‘Trump’ gets double, triple, quadruple…? Much more than anybody else! And then, “who wins on ISIS…and who wins with the military?”; ‘Trump’, ‘Trump’, ‘Trump’.
 
So you know, all of a sudden…and this started happening…you know, pretty much since Paris, and then you had the…horrible situation in…in California; with the…couple. She comes in, on a fiancée permit, and she's radicalized…; and the other guys probably radicalized, but he became radicalized. And they killed people that gave them a wedding reception! People gave him a wedding reception! I mean, something's going on, we have to figure it out folks. Something…is going on. That even today I'm leaving, and I'm seeing what happened…today a hotel was blown up; many, many people dead! They don't even know how many people. Just blown up! Just blown up! Innocent people, blown up And the World Trade Center, we're talking about World Trade Center. Flying airplanes into the World Trade Center, into the Pentagon, third plane…? …who knows where it was going? …who knows? They say it was going at the White House, but who knows where it was going? Brave people on that plane, by the way, brave people. But…but…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Really brave people.
 
But…something's going on. And so it's changed very much! And I have been talking much more about the military. And they have much more confidence in me with the military…than they have with these politicians, that don't know anything. And…and they don't. Believe me, they don't. And everything is…you know, the word ‘unpredictable’? Scott, and some…sometimes it's very tough for me, because they'll say, “well, what do you do about this!?”, “what do you do about this!?”. And I wanna say, “you know, I have a chance of winning…I don't wanna really tell you, what I'm gonna do, like on military!”. Like I've been saying oil: “take the oil, take the oil”. I never wanted to say it! I wanted to surprise them! …–CROWD LAUGHS. Right? But it got to a point, six months ago, when I had to say it. I was saying to him, “no I don't want to tell you. I know what to do! But I don't want to tell you!”.
 
And they’d say, “oh, he doesn't really know!”. Finally, I had to do it! I mean, you have to win! I hated to tell them “take the oil”.
And then…the government said, “you can't take the oil! You can't do that! You can't…”. You can do it! General MacArthur couldn’t do it!? General George Patton…!? They would have had the oil four years ago. They would add the oil…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. He would have had the oil right before he stepped out of his airplane, right? To claim victory! But…it's one of those things.
 
So a couple of weeks ago…a couple of…you know, right after Paris, they started taking the oil. Finally! Finally! But I said, “take the oil, and keep the oil!”. They just take the oil; they just bombed the oil. I said, “take it!”. No you keep the oil! Folks, you buy it, you keep it! Right? And then you distribute it. You take some, and you give some…to the…veterans, and to the wounded warriors, and to the families who lost people…! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And you give some to the families that have had death…and horror in their lives! And what have we got out of Iraq!? We've got that of Iraq…I'll tell you: two trillion dollars it cost; thousands of lives…! wounded warriors, who we all love, all over the place….; we got nothing! And they won't even listen to us! And now Iran is taking Iraq. So I said, “keep the oil, we give some to…people that really were affected…”; I mean, you have families that lost…sons and daughters…; they got nothing! They have nothing!
 
So I just say…that we're gonna run a country properly. We're gonna be respected again. And it's great that you here! And if I don't get the hell out of here soon, I'm never gonna be able to take oof. Go away! So he'll ask me a couple of quickie!
 
Thank you! Thank you!
 
MR. SCOTT NOW THANKS MR. TRUMP AND THE CROWD CHEERS.
MR. SCOTT MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.43.05:

All right, well, for first of all: great question. The VA is one of the most corrupt enterprises in all of Washington and the country…–CROWD APPLAUDS. It's so poorly run. It's so poorly run. And with that being said, by the way, I've met some people that are really great doctors; and some of the people are even saying some of the doctors are fantastic. But the administration is largely corrupt, and it's a disgrace. What's going on with the VA is a disgrace. So…do I hear somebody scratching? …–MR. TRUMP TURNS AROUND AND REACTS TO A SOUND–…I hear somebody scratching. I hear somebody scratching, I’ll tell you, who the hell's back there!? But the VA is absolutely disgraceful. And…we are gonna run it professionally, and great…; and one of the things we're gonna do Scott, you know, one of the biggest problems…people are waiting six, seven days in a reception room, trying to get a pill, or a minor procedure. And many people are dying…while they're waiting! And…we're going to work a system. And I put out a policy, which I think…most of you have seen, certainly the veterans have all seen it. And it's been really praised. When you have six-day waits, and five-day waits, and the doctors can't see you, etcetera…; you're gonna go to the local hospital, you're gonna go to a local doctor, we're gonna pay that bill, and you're gonna get taken care of properly, and quickly. So that's the way it is…–CROWD APPLAUDS. And you know, in the end it's cheaper! In the end it's gonna be a lot cheaper! So we're gonna do that among other things. But the Vets will be taking care of…well!
 
MR. SCOTT MAKES A QUESTION AGAIN.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.44.50:
 
Okay, well first of all, we're gonna repeal and replace Obamacare, which we have to do, I mean…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…premiums are going up…; 25, 35, 45 percent…; your deductibles, you'll never get to use it. You have to be hit by a tractor to use it…–CROWD LAUGHS. I mean, the deductibles are so high now that you'll never get to use it. So, Obamacare is a disaster; and honestly, it's gonna fold by 17 anyway. It's…you know, it's folding because all the people that they didn't think we're going in are going in, and the people they did think…meaning the people that paid, they're not going in. So we are going to get rid of Obamacare, and we're going to put it…; we're gonna have a great plan. And it's gonna be much less expensive plan…and it's gonna be a plan that's much better for the people…–CROWD APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. So…much…fat! When I look at…I watch a guy like Jeb Bush, who's totally in favor of Common Core. And I say, “no wonder he's down at 2 percent” …–CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. No, no…how…? Can you imagine? Jeb Bush is in favor of Common Core. Totally against Common Core…? Me! Totally against. We're gonna kill the Common Core; we're gonna bring education back to the local communities, where it should be; we're gonna have great education. Don't forget! With all of the money we spend…with all of the money…; we spend so much on education, number one in the world. So we’re number one per pupil in the world by a factor of you have no idea! By so far ahead. We’re number 28 in education. We have third world countries they're ahead of us. So we're bringing education back. We're getting rid of Common Core. While I'm on a subject…Second Amendment, we're going to cherish and protect our Second Amendment. It's under siege…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's under siege.
 
And we're gonna be cutting a lot of the fraud, abuse, waste…there’s so much of it…; and we're gonna start chopping down that 19 trillion dollar. Hard to believe!19 trillion. But we're gonna start chopping it down; and we'll chop it down very significantly, quickly. And we're gonna bring jobs back to this country. Believe it.
 
MEMBER IN THE CROWD MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.00.00:
 
It’s one of the biggest questions I get from…young people, cause I go all over. And it's student debt. One of the big answers, obviously Scott, is jobs. Cause you know, the biggest problem is they graduate, they don't mind, the debt as much as they mind the fact that they go through four years or two years of college…; and then they get out, they can't get a job! So we're gonna create jobs. I always say, I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. That's what I do! I have thousands of them. Okay. So we're gonna create jobs. It’s so important. But you know what's happened? Students are going out…I've been watching this process. And I'm not even blaming the college…! It’s sort of natural; it's a very…you know, bad system in a way. Students go out, and they borrow money from the federal government. Now they have the money. And the colleges…keep going up, up, up; much more than they should be going up, because all they do is take all this money, because essentially, they're borrowing it. They just have…the students are like a middleman. They're just taking it from these students. So there's no incentive for the colleges to bring costs down, and the college…the college costs…running the college…they're going through the roof! Including salaries for the top people…; I'm looking at salaries that some of these people are making…; it looks like they're running General Motors or…when General Motors runs properly. But it looks like…it looks like they're running you know a major corporation. And it's really…a problem! Because they…and I understand how the system works. And that's sort of the way the system works. But the way we have to do it is we have to go in and check it, because what's happening in the colleges…they're taking this money, and the next year they go up, and the government gives more money to students. So the one that suffers, the people that suffer this is the students. I'm gonna solve the problem, okay? Thank you. Good question.

MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.00.00:
 
Okay. Well that’s a very big question. I hope…I hope…it’s a great question. I hope the second part isn’t quite as big…–CROWD LAUGHS. That could be a part five question. Look, we need a strong military. Right now we have a military that's under siege. When General Odierno left, a few weeks ago, he said that we are the least prepared that he's ever seen. Our military. And yet, we should be the most prepared, because…we have…the world hates us. Obama, and Hillary have the job. I mean the world is under flame! The world is…is burning! And they hate us! And if you think about it, during the Obama administration, look what's happened! And our military has become absolutely…; I'm in the real estate business; I get these listings, for military bases all the time. Military base, military base…; I say, “how many of these things are we giving up!?”. You know, we have military bases…so many are closing! We are going to have…a military that's so strong, and so powerful, that nobody's gonna mess with us. Believe me. Okay? Nobody…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
And I have to add, and I think you would agree; you know, it's very costly, but that's cheaper than what we're doing now!
 
MEMBER IN THE CROWD MAKES THE SECOND PART OF THE QUESTION WHICH IS WHETHER SHE TAKE A SELFIE WITH MR. TRUMP OR NOT. THE CROWD LAUGHS.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.50.22:
 
Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on Scott, don't be a party pooper! Scott! Come on! …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Lift her up Kevin! Lift her up Kevin! Lift her up Kevin! I don’t know if Kevin can do it. I don't think Kevin is strong enough. Be careful. Come on fellows, help her. The owner is gonna help her. He’s a strong guy. He lifts cars all the time…–CROWD LAUGHS TIMIDLY. Come on. That's it darling. Come on! Come on! Scott, he's a party pooper. Come on! Obviously, he's not running for office. If he was running he would have said “come on up”.
 
THE PARTICIPANT (A YOUNG GIRL) AND MR. TRUMP TAKE A SELFIE TOGETHER. THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Great!

MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.00.00:
 
I'm the one! You're talking to the converted…–CROWD LAUGHS. You're talking to the converted. I mean, forget it. We're gonna have a border. You know, if you don't ever…I just…was interviewed by George Stephanopoulos. If you don't have a border, you don't have a country! You don't have a country! We don’t really we have a country! We have a border that's like a piece of Swiss cheese! We are going to have borders that are so strong; the wall will be built; it'll be a real wall. That'll be a wall…this will be a serious wall. But we're gonna have a border…; we're gonna have borders all over! And we're gonna stop the whole thing with the visas where people fly in…you know, because the border is 50 percent of it! But we also have people coming in through so many different ways. We're gonna have a real…strong…country again. And we're gonna want people to come in, and we're gonna want people to go through the process; we want people to come in, they have to come in legally! Okay!? …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.

MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.00.00:
 
Okay, well, I have to be honest with you. This has been going on for a long time. Stability to the region. We've been doing this for 15 years. We've become a debtor nation doing it. Our roads are falling down. Our highways, our bridges…; I mean, our bridges are in such bad shape, they're like 50 percent of them are considered unsafe. We have to rebuild the United States. We have to rebuild the United States. Now, we gotta get rid of ISIS. You know, I was very proud to say…and to you know, everyone says, “Oh, Trump is this tough guy; I hope he...fast; I'm slower on the trigger, but I'm a tough guy. I'm the strongest…guy…militarily that you can ever have. Okay? I am a…I always say I'm a militaristic person. And we're gonna have such a strong military. But you know what? It's time folks! For us. We're gonna get rid of ISIS; we're gonna get rid of…surgically, and fast. Because you can't allow them to cut Christians heads off, and everyone else has heads off. That's from medieval times.
 
You know Scott, I used to read about that. And I said, “you know, this is no different! We're living in medieval times!”. We're living in times that are just as bad as they ever were in the history of the world. They're cutting people's heads off! I used to read that when I was in history class…the viciousness, right? Medieval times, boom…–MR. TRUMP MIMICS A GUILLOTINE. We're doing the same thing right now, probably more viciously! We are living probably the most vicious time. We have people that are…disgusting, disgusting animals! And we're gonna stop that. But you know what? We've gotta get back to our country. We've gotta bring our people back. And we've gotta let people know that if they mess around with us, they're gonna be gone. We're gonna wipe them off the face of the earth! All right!? …–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
 
MR. SCOTT ASKS MR. TRUMP ABOUT HIS WEBSITE.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.54.30:
 
DonaldJTrump.com. DonaldJ…and in New Hampshire, by the way, the polls are coming out. We're leading by like 20 points; we're doing great. But you know what!? Please do me a favor, go out and vote! Because if we don't vote, we're all wasting our time folks. It's never gonna happen.
 
MEMBER IN THE CROWD MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.00.00:
 
Well, I know you have a very tough situation, and I think the best, so that we don't keep everybody…; I'm gonna have somebody see you afterwards, and let me see your situation. I mean, the truth is, everybody's situation is different…–CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…but we'll see you situation, okay?

 
Where’s Al? Is Al here? Where's Al? I don't see you! I'll get behind the column. That's first time I've ever seen you in the second row.
 
Yeah, good reason. Good reason. That’s good.
 
MEMBER IN THE CROWD MAKES A QUESTION.
MR. TRUMP RESPONDS. Minute 00.57.03:
 
Well we have to stop the illegals. We have to put our people to work. But there are visa programs, we can bring people in; if you can't get people for jobs, cuz we don't want to stop our economy. So we have as part of it visa programs, where you can put people to work, because we don't wanna affect the economy. That's one thing I don't wanna do. We want…our economy is very weak. We have the slowest recovery in history! It's not even a recovery. And if you look again, you know, you hear these phony jobs numbers. People that were looking for jobs, that gave up, Scott, they gave up looking…they’re not…they're considered employed! So you have a hundred million people that would like to work, and they can't work.
 
So we will…be able to take care of that situation beautifully. But we do want our people working, you understand? Okay? Thank you.
